00:00There is a fissure in the conservative movement, not just in the United States, but also in Europe, between the old right and the new right.
00:08And I'll let other people speak for themselves. I can speak for Heritage.
00:12What we want to have happen at Heritage on behalf of the conservative movement is to have the best elements of the old right work with the best elements of the new right.
00:22And regardless of where someone is philosophically on those questions, the political reality matches the philosophical reality.
00:31We need what the old right offers, which is a tethering to the permanent things, a tethering to principles.
00:39We don't need their collaboration with the radical left on some of the social and cultural questions that they've completely given up on.
00:46What we need from the new right is the zeal that comes from doing the work on behalf of the people.
00:53Sometimes people will equate the term new right with the term populism.
00:58And some members of the old right look at populism as if it's a four-letter word.
01:03Populism is merely doing the will of the people.
01:06And so what we're excited about at Heritage, in spite of all the controversy that's out there, is the bright future for the conservative movement.
01:13Because if you have those two things, a love for principle, and you're doing the will of the people, guess what?
01:20You might be in power for a century.
01:22And if we're in power for just half a century, guess what we get to fix?
01:27Guess what we get to do on behalf of the people?
01:29This is a moment not to be frustrated, but to be excited about the future.
