Cspan, your unfiltered view of politics. And now republican president ial hopef perry johnn, he talks about the economy, the biden administrations Energy Policies and Global Competitiveness during remarks of the first and nation leadership summit in New Hampshire. And now please welcome Perry Johnson. [applause] well, hello, everyone. I am Perry Johnson and i am running for president of the United States. I am probably the most hated guy in washington. We sit here and we have to recognize that we have this dark cloud over the world right now because we have what is going on in israel and it is so sad that we have genocide. We have children getting slaughtered. We have women and men getting murdered and we have really a tragedy that is beyond decryption. Thank god wean have the United States because we have to be the pilar of strength in the world. [applause] we have to recognize e world depends upon us. We are the one Unifying Force of all and we are the leader of the freeee world and we as the leadr of the free world must show strength. And im going to ask you right now, do you think we are showing strength in our Leadership Today . When you have a president that cant remember where he is, a president that has trouble finding a handshake because he doesnt know where the hand is, i say were in serious trouble and we do not exemplify strength it is because of that that the world is in more turmoil than it has been at any time that i could remember in my lifetime. And this is something that has to change. I knoww its impossible for you to vote for anyone unless you know something about their background. I might as well tell you something about me. Im somebody that grew up like you in a middle class family. I had two of the most wonderful parents in the world. My dad was a pilot in world war ii and my mother was a nurse at the army wax. They met at a new year assever party which was the biggest break of my life. I wouldnt be here today. [laughter] but from the beginning of time they told me that one of the greatest gifts anyone can ever be given is to be born an american. And when youre born an american you already won the lottery. [applause] born an american, you have that opportunity. And that i believed in all my heart from the beginning of time. When i was little i was a boy scout. Some of my fondest memories were going out fishing with my dad. We were very close. I ended up becoming an eagle scout, thought that was a great a compliment of my life. But the thing that it instilled upon thee was the importance of integrity, honor and that in this world you can be anything you want. As long as you are born in america, the world is yours depending on how hard you want to work and how much effort you want to put forth. Well i parents did not have the money to send me to college but i worked in the steel mill and i got into graduate school. It was a little tougher, i was getting eviction notices on a regular basis. Had my gas shut off, my electricity shut off but i got through that. And i landed a job in the 1980s in the auto industry. That was a time when the japanese had come in with tremendous quality. Back then, they were killing us, they had a better quality car and they made it for less money. And we used to have inspectors at the end of the line, if the product was no good they would either throw it out or rework it. But i knew that was not going to work. I thought i knew how to solve the problem. My background was mathematics. I went into the auto industry, started my first company, and we would go in there and introduce statistical methods. Back then we did not have computers to do the work, i had to teach the people on the line how to make a control chart. They look at variation, i knew if we ironed out the variation, eventually we would not need to the inspectors. And in four or five years we have the best quality in the world. And then i said to myself, why not a standard for quality . We have a standard for everything else. And i wrote a book. I dont know if any of you have heard of it. But thats me. I wrote that book and by golly, we now do business in 61 countries now in the world. I have been bringing quality and efficiency to companies that will last for the last 35 years. I am going to ask you a simple question, do you think the federal government has quality and efficiency now . It is the most and Efficient Organization on the planet. I will let you know right now, i wrote a book on a plan on how to solve our problem. And the rnc hates me. They hate me in washington. Because i want to take their power away. They get all of their power because they get all of their money and every penny of their budget is spent every year. They go out of their way to make sure that every year they are broke. Can you imagine running a company like that . Where every single year you make sure you are broke at the end of the year . Please make sure we are broke. That is what our government does. That is why we are now 33 trillion in debt. We have these debates that go on. I had extra qualifying polls, but they would not let me go on the debate. They gave me a call and homely they are disqualifying the polls. They dont want me. What do you do . You continue to fight. And you say to yourself, washington is going out of its i want you to recognize how we collect 3. 9 trillion in taxes. We are so far in debt that it is costing every household in america 610 a month in interest. One time we were borrowing money at under 1 . The cost for 33 trillion it is a rounding error. We are borrowing now at an average of 5 . Thats 1. 65 trillion. The bottom line is, the economy is the key to our strength. We need the economy for our military. We need the economy for our way of life. And every single power in the world has fallen because of the economy. Rome ruled the world for a thousand years until it couldnt pay its troops. The sun never set on the British Empire until world war ii. The soviet union was a dominant force until they could not keep up. We have to realize we are the greatest economy in the world, the greatest people in the history of the world and we have to keep it that way. But we are not going to do it the way we are doing it now. We have to use common sense. We have to let them know that this has to stop, because you know, they love to spend your money, by goalie, its so easy to spend somebodials money. T now, my plan really is ten steps. Im going to talk about some other steps. We should be producing as much oil as possible. [applause] lets face it in the world theres nobody in the world that does a better job of extracting oil than the United States. You know what biden did when he took office, he immediately stopped all production on federal lands and when he did that it was a travesty that we took him to court. Its so low that you have to go back to truman years to get that low. He also put all the new regulations in place so that the small produceron could not prode anymore and make money. But what we did we didnt stop flying, we didnt stop driving, we didnt stop our machinery, we didnt stop producing plastic, we still needed oil so we ended up spending 61 billion buying the oil from russia. Do you know when russia goes and extracts oil and refines it its much worse for the earth. In fact, when they convert today natural gas they put 5 times the amount of methane in the air than we do . Its a sin that we do this. We are contaminating the earth and as a result everybody going to is paying 100 more at the pump than they should be. I ask you, does that make any sense . Now, what about the department of education . I mean, i know that youre going to kill me but when im elected president im getting rid of the department of education. [cheers and applause] you know only 8 of the money goes to grades k through 12 . It is ridiculous. Then we are going to have the government tell us what we should teach our kids . I have two 14yearolds and i have a 19yearold and they go to school and they are indoctrinated with the crazy ideas because they tell us what we are supposed to the teach our kids and frankly theyre nuts. I say we get the government out of our lives, right . [applause] now, i will tell you that there are times when we have to spend money and one of those times is right now. We have to help israel and i want everybody to recognize why its so important, they are they have helped us so much and they are a true ally and while some people may object to this they actually help us in so many ways that by helping them it actually saves us money and it gives us security. Its something that we have to do. Now i want you to realize that we have only given 120 billion in aid to israel. We are about to eclipse that in ukraine. When we talk about israel, its something that we have to do for our ownwn security, the world security. How many people here want to make sure wewe have a secure fre world . And we will do that. Now, i will tell you that i am not happy with a lot of departments. I happened to think that the fbi is corrupt. Who can doubt it when they have people that they are bribing to perjure themselves . , the department of justice it obviously is not fair and when you use it as a weponizing tool its not right. But we still have the greatest country the world has ever known and i want to keep it the greatest country the world has ever known. I love my family, i love my children in so many ways and nobody in the world loves their kids more than the parents and i say the parents should have a role in what they teach their kids. What do you say . [applause] now, i know everywhere i go i have my plans, two cents, they call me twocent man, the bottom line is that people say this is impossible and that you can never change and we have the swamp and theres nothing that you can do about it but i dont believe that. You know the one thing about america is that we have a history of doing the impossible and sometimes its important that we reflect on how great we really are. You know, 250 years ago we had an idea, a very simple idea that we were going to create a country unlike any other country in the history of the world, a country by the people, for the people with the basic precepts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And it is upon those principles that we were going to build the country that was unlike anything in the history of the world and to do it we had to do the impossible. We had to fight the greatest army the world had ever known. We had to do it without guns, we werent even allowed muskets we had to do it with general named by George Washington and we did something that no one could ever thought to be dont. We defeated the greatest army in the history of the world and the people look at us and say, wow, because we became a country unlike any country the world has ever known and they look t usat and they think whether you think about carnegie, henry ford, the world says wow, by goalie, i say we keep it that way and we continue to be the greatest country the world has ever known. God bless New Hampshire and god bless the United States of america. [applause] and i will take any questions. They said in New Hampshire you have to have questions. If you dont have any questions, thats great because then i dont have to think. [laughter] i could be like biden. [laughter] yes. Hi. I have a question for you. Everybody who has talked today has told us about what theyre going to do and its going to be another two years. I want to know how we are going to survive these two years waiting . I actuallyin came here for some hope today. Im feeling very heavy. I know that morgan who spoke about the security, spokes on the Security Panel couldnt send her daughter to a Jewish School because of the fear and i have relatives who were told not to come to new york city today because they didnt want them to be exposed. Well, this is the day of rage. Next week it might be the week ofee rage and how how are we going to survive this bidens who are purposely doing these things . Its not an accident, its not incompetence, they are very smart, this is what theyre doing and how do we get how do we get there to where you could lead . Well, the bottom line is fortunately im very religious, i pray every day. But the bottom line is that we always manage to survive provided wee keep ourselves reasonably grounded. Lets be realistic, the bottomth line is we have a very weak president right now. I had call for his impeachment, in fact, i was the first to call for his impeachment. How many people think he should be impeached . [applause] the problem that we have is that when hes impeached right now we have Kamala Harris and she may be worse. You know, when i was growing up we had a president that i thought was the worst president in the history of the world and that was jimmy carter. I dont know if anybody remembers him but he was very much like the time we have now, we had high interest rates, oil gas was a fortune, in fact, we had to wait in line in order to get gas because we couldnt even find the gas. We had we had all of these people over there that were held hostage and they were there for hundreds of days, i think 400 some days and Nothing Happened and we had this president , much like today and i thought he was the worst in the history of the world until we got biden. Biden will set a world record. He will gowo down in the history books as the worst president our country has ever known and all im saying is we have to try to overcome that. And the only way to overcome that is through hope and we have to recognize that it is very important that each and every one of you try to get on board to elect a republican. I am obviously a little biased and i know we may have people here that are in the middlemi because this is a purple state but if there were ever a time for us to be conservative and recognizing how important it is that we exemplify strength, its now. And it is very important, remember what happened when reagan took office . He immediately, once he took office, everybody was released and we didnt have to give them 6 billion. Now dont you think its kindd f crazy that you have a president decides hes going to release 6 billion over to iran so they can help out hamas . Isnt that nuts . It is crazy. I thought it wasit ridiculous wn obama, he released over a hundred billion dollars and then he gave them another billion and a half in cash. This is nuts. And it all start with having a confident atmosphere and having the world trust the United States will be there to make sure that the free world is secure. What do you say we keep the free world secure for the rest of our lives . [applause] yes. [inaudible] at the same time the biden idadministration is has about six agencies looking to break up all off our hightech companies. Whats your solution to increase our Global Competitiveness, not just giant big techs but all of them . Okay. Its much worse than you think. No, im going to tell you how o bad it is. This is the real this its much worse. Now i want everybody to understand in the year 2000 the entire economy of china was 1,200,000,000,000. Okay. We then decided we were going to give them the status of a thirdworld country and all of they advantages of a thirdword country, that meant no tariffs, nothing, we would then whenever a company entered china, you had to give 51 of that company to a chinese citizen. That meant you could not own you could not own over 50 of any chinese company. So im going to tell you how bad it is. Now Perry Johnson registrar is the largest in the United States and we have companies in the United States that put operations in china and im coerced and give 51 to chinese citizen. Well, when they changed the law it took me six years to get this guy out and then on top of that, they ended upcoming in and seizing my computers, they kept them for 90 days. They froze my bank account, when i talk about hawaii bad they are, you have no idea how bad they are. Theyre much worse than you could ever imagine. They decided that they had problems with quality in a refrigeration plant and this is in the wall street journal. So they unceremoniously took the management of which there were 5 people in the back of the factory and they shot them, they killed them. So bush hadhe a meeting with th, this is george bush, jr. He had aus meeting with them and said e have to have a different standard. Youre going to have to be more humane. And, you know, understand that back then when they did that they charged all the family for the bullets. Now they no longer charge the family for the bullets. So when we talk about china, china has they send their best and brightest to our colleges which prevent our kids from going to those schools, they steal our technology, they now have a 20 trilliondollar economy to our 25, so at one time we were literally 850 larger than they are. Now we are 25 larger than they are and they still have all of the advantages of being a thirdworld country even though they have the second largest economy. We have borrowed money from china and we are sending them 74 million a day in interest payments. So if we dont wake up, we are going to find ourselves behind the eight ball and in technology its very important that we stay ahead particularly with ai entering the picture. With Artificial Intelligence entering the picture its more important than ever that we stay on top of whats happening in our military. We mustt stay ahead in technoloy in every possible way and we cannot let the chinese be involved in any possible way of stealing that technology. So the only way thats going to happen is if we get republicans in there to start guarding the future of our country and the security of our country because its critical. [applause] yes. Hello, over here. Hello, thanks for coming. I certainly agree with you that the National Debt is among the leading issues in our nation. How specifically do you think we should cut spending within Discretionary Spending . Well, here is the way it typically works. Well, i would start by getting rid of the department of education which is 68 billion off the top and what i would do would be you get rid of 4400 people because thats employee count and theoy 8 you can send directly to the states and let them disperse the money.
