Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, everybody, Welcome to the right side. Doug Billings here
with you today, Monday, March thirty. First. Wow, yesterday's announcement.
I did it. I took the plunge. You know, I've
talked a lot since I've known you, since you've been around.
For the last five years, I've been doing this show.
Two million people a month watch or listen to this thing,
and they were absolutely thrilled yesterday. The results are in
(00:26):
the reviews coming in. I announced yesterday that I'm running
for the governorship of the state of Kansas. I've lived
in Kansas for the last thirty four years, and it
has been in the grip of the commune socialist movement,
especially in the governor's office. We have a super majority
of Republicans in the House and the Senate in Kansas,
(00:49):
but yet we don't get enough done. We need a
strong conservative governor in that office. I'm the one. The
Magga template, it's mine. We are going to run with it.
Trump has invented it. We're going to implement it in Kansas.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ron DeSantis, who Christy nom huh? What
state is she from? Governor Billings is going to be
(01:11):
the new template for the American governorship across this republic.
Just wait and see. You've not seen anything yet. And
I'm going to get into all of the reasons in
this episode, one of how I as governor will make
Kansas great again. Ladies and gentlemen, the right Side with
Doug Billings is now upon you. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Hey, everybody, my name is General Mike Flynn, and I'm
here to do a big shout out for my great
friend and one of the best in the business, mister
Doug Billings. Right side with Doug Billings. Right side with
Doug Billings. Doug is the future of the airwaves when
it comes to independent broadcasters and podcasters. He is the
new Rush Limbaugh. He's exactly what America needs right now.
(01:54):
Looking for honesty, looking for wisdom, looking for truth, looking
for patriotism. Listen to Doug Billings. Right side with Doug Goins.
God bless you, and God bless America, and thank.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You, ladies and gentlemen. We are winning. We're winning, winning, winning.
Welcome to the right side with Doug Billings. Are you ready?
We are not liberal snowflakes who've build away in the
face of tragedy, adversity and challenge. We are a covenant
Nason under God and his divine providence is not dead
and it's not gone. It is living within each and
(02:25):
every one of you, and you will bring it to
life in such a way that the world has never
seen before. We never back down, we never give up.
We march forward. Here are laies and gentlemen, welcome back.
(02:50):
All right, we're gonna get into it today. We uh
The messages have been coming in from all over. I
have General Flynn supporting us, John rich out of Bashville
offering some words of encouragement. Today, Roger Stone texted me
we have lots of people and there will be many
more to come, believe me. Supporting me with regards to
(03:11):
my run for the governorship of the state of Kansas.
I have spoken with you for the past five years
about determined prayer, determined patriotism, and the reasons why our
republic has fallen into the grip of radical liberalism. I
call it Commune Socialist the Commune Socialist Party. I have
(03:35):
spoken about determined prayer, which I think is obvious most
people understand what prayer is. But the determined patriotism part,
what does that mean? What exactly do I mean. Well,
I'm going to get into all of this, but determined
patriotism is basically doing the hard work of it all.
It means doing what we need to do in our local,
(03:55):
grassroots level to recover this republic and whatever state that
you live in within the Republic from the grip of
the Commune Socialist Party. Taren Hey, thank you, Tarn Buer.
I see you there on Facebook. Thank you for the encouragement.
I'm watching the chat line as I do the show
live here today, as I always do. But let's get
(04:16):
into this because I'm going to dive into what has
not only you know, caused me to throw my name
in the hat, but Kansas needs it needs bold of leadership.
You know, so so often the establishment, the elected class
doesn't tell you what you need to know. They're only
(04:36):
telling you what they think their donors want to know
and what to hear. So I'm not beholden to any
of that. I am an outsider, completely never involved in
politics in my life. Now I talk about politics every
day on this show. I of course create the most
intellectually mature podcast audience in all of podcast land. Ladies
(04:57):
and gentlemen, and you're part of it because we talk
about the truth. We look at the state of play
in America, and I have told you during these past
five years the truth, whether it's COVID election integrity, or
you know, Ukraine, or the border crisis, or what really
is the agenda behind this radical democratic movement that we're
seeing in America, Because it's stricken every state in this union.
(05:20):
So we need a politician below. I guess I'm going
to be one who's going to tell you the truth,
who's going to tell you like it is, who has
the guts, the gusto, and the passion to tell you
the truth. And I'm not going to dance around the issues.
We've been in trouble far too long for anybody who
wants to earn the honor of your vote to dance
around issues. So I've got a master's degree in curriculum
(05:46):
and instruction. If you're from Retel, Missouri, that's basically education.
I've got a master's degree in curriculum and instruction, and
I have spent my professional career in human resources, growing
up and rising through the ranks to become a vice
president of human resources negotiating. Part of my main responsibility
(06:07):
was negotiating deals, negotiating collective bargaining agreements with unions. I
was always on the corporate side, championing you know, capitalism
and the workers and the companies and so forth. But
we had to come to the table. I did and negotiate.
And you talk about using the art of the deal, folks,
(06:29):
That's what I've done for the past thirty years. So
if we need someone to sit down and negotiate and
be tough, I'm the one. I'm going to do it. Look,
we need common sense solutions in Topeka, Kansas and around
this Republic. I don't want you to turn off the
show if you don't live in Kansas, by the way,
because what you're going to witness here right now today
(06:50):
is someone putting forth to you the template for the
governor you should elect in whatever state you live in
is I've got a plan that's going to make Kansas
the envy of every state in the nation. I'm talking
about eliminating property tax. They've tried to do this in Kansas.
We are supposed to have, you know, on paper, this
(07:12):
quote unquote super majority of Republicans, but as you all know,
we are plagued with a rhino problem. Republicans in name only.
I'm going to re revolutionize the educational system. Now that
the Department of Education on the federal level is gone,
We're going to take a look at education at Kansas
(07:32):
and make it a role model for other states around
this country. I'm going to launch my version of k
DOS Kansas Department of Government Efficiency. Yeah, we're gonna model
it after what Elon has done. Look, folks, I'm a
Maga Conservative. I don't need to reinvent the wheel heel here.
President Trump has already given us the template to go forward,
(07:53):
and I will with the Maga agenda. I am not
fooling around. We are going to go We're going to
hit the ground running. This is going to be epic
on every every imaginable scale. So we have truth, honesty,
property tax gone, education highlighted, k DOOS, the Department of
(08:17):
Government Efficiency in Kansas. I'm also going to get rid of, eliminate,
and do away with, once and for all, every woke
and DEI initiative in the state of Kansas. Gone could
put They're out. You know wokeism and the DEI. You
(08:37):
know diversity, equity and inclusion, Well those are code words
for racism. They are code words for prejudice, and we're
going to put it into it. We don't have any
time for that in Kansas, nor should you no matter
where you live. So here's what you do if you're
looking for a governor wherever you live, especially if you're
in Kansas. I'm going to start with item number one,
(09:00):
and these are listed in no particular order. They're all
equally important and equally part of what I'm going to
do as governor, eliminating property tax. If there's one thing
that Kanson's are tired of, and I'm sure that you
are too wherever you live, it's the government reaching into
our pockets and taking our property taxes every year. As
(09:22):
a MAGA conservative, I believe that you need to keep
more of your heart earned money. You know, property tax
is a relic, ladies and gentlemen. It's a dinosaurs. It
should be extinct. It punishes you for owning a home,
a car, a farm, or a business. And I would
even make the case. Look, I believe property tax is unconstitutional,
(09:46):
and we're going to make that case in front of
the courts in Kansas. I'm going to work with the
legislation of court, the legislators in Kansas are good men
and women. The Republicans. Now there's a few rhinos in
the mix, but the majority of them are good people.
Just need the governor to be the voice of passion
and of drive and of leadership and to use the
(10:08):
governor's bully pulpit to drive these messages. So what's the
plan with regarding property tax? I'm going to eliminate it entirely. Now,
the governor in Kansas just can't do that unilaterally. We
have to I would have to work with the legislators
and I will. But automatically, people go, well, if you're
going to do away with a tax, how do we
(10:30):
fund schools and roads? Doug. That's the liberal rhino mindset,
that's what they're going to do. Simple, I would say.
The answer is to that, we streamline state spending, we
cut waste kdos for example. I'll get to that in
a minute, and we shift to a fair system of
taxing like and this is these are just talking points
(10:51):
because we can talk about a lot of fair tax systems,
but anything other than property tax, like a consumption based
tax that hits everyone equally. It doesn't hit just property
owners for example. It's all up for discussion. I want
to have the discussion. I would work with the Kansas
(11:11):
legislature in order to get these things done. They need
to be done. The people of Kansas have been talking
about this for years. They just voted in our capital
to end property tax, and there were five rhinos that
prevented it. We came up one vote short. It's so maddening.
(11:32):
So Kansas has Last time I checked, and as far
as I know, we have a three billion dollar surplus
right now. So let's use it wisely to phase out
property tax. Over my first term. Imagine the relief that
farmers in Salina, Kansas would have, that families in Wichita
would receive, school children in Oleitha, small business owners in
(11:57):
Topeka no more annual tax bills hanging over your head. That,
my friends, that is the definition of freedom. And that's
what the founders had in mind. By the way, we
have drifted so far away in this country, not only
as an executive branch as government, or an a legislative branch,
(12:19):
but the judicial branch. We've all drifted away from the
founder's intent. So that's property tax. Another way that I'm
going to make Kansas great again is making education better
without the FEDS, the Federal Department of Education is gone,
and good riddance. It should have been gone long ago.
(12:41):
President Carter created this department, and ever since the United
States educational system has plummeted, and we have the dumbest
dumb down in educational history around the planet. As a
former teacher with a master's degree in a curriculum and instruction,
I've seen first hand how these federal bureaucrats meddle in
(13:04):
our classrooms, and so have you. You've seen this pushing
this one size fits all nonsense. Now, Kansas has the
chance to take control, and my vision for that is
local power and by that I mean parents. But first,
let's recruit, train, motivate, and inspire other MAGA conservative parents
(13:29):
to run for and win seats on Kansas school boards
and school boards throughout the country. Hi Wi Robertson, I
see you out there on Facebook Land. Thanks for chiming in.
I appreciate you watching and listening to the program. Stay
with me. So with conservative school boards in place wherever
you live, we empower parents, We empower teachers, not some
(13:55):
elitist in Washington, d C. Or any other liberal local
woke kook who wants to put in DEI the rainbow
flag and talk about how transgenderism and god making mistakes
with regards to gender assignment is actually real. Those people
have no idea and have no reason making decisions about
(14:17):
what's best for our children. Parents, and especially please parents
who do the work of determined patriotism getting involved with
your local school boards. I would also push as governor
for more funding directly to classrooms, more books, better technology,
higher teacher pay for qualified teachers, ending tenure and making
(14:43):
it a competitional merit based system without all of the
red tape. And as a former teacher from long ago,
I know that we can improve outcomes of these students.
Our test scores are what twenty fourth, twenty fifth in
the world, not only embarrassing, unacceptable. The basics reading, arithmetic,
(15:07):
not just math, English, Civics again, not just history and
critical thinking. You know those are the basics. But I
would work to include not only those subjects and bolstering
them within the public schools and other schools in Kansas.
I would work to include the subjects that the founding
(15:29):
fathers wanted included in the public schools. All you have
to do is do a simple research on your favorite
search engine. Early American or Colonial American school curriculums. What
do they have? What were the subjects? Well? I think too,
I mean I think, you know, in addition to the
ones that I just mentioned, I think philosophy. We can
(15:50):
make a case for that. The Founders wanted that. And
study of the Christian Bible back in schools. That's what
the Founders wanted. And don't give me the separation of
church and nonsense. That is absolutely a quote from Thomas
Jefferson to the Bradbury Baptist Association that was taken completely
out of context, and it continues to be just butchered
out of context. There is not this separation, like we
(16:12):
can't talk about God in school, Doug. We can't do
it because there's a separation of church and no. Not true,
not even close. And we're done with that myth. So
with the FEDS and the Department of Education out of
the way, I would make Kansas schools a model of
excellence around the country, tailored to our values, those values
(16:34):
that the Founders intended us to have, traditional family Christian values.
Somebody's got to be brave enough to say this out loud.
What about Muslim values? Doug. That means we've had to
put up the Koran and teach the Koran. And no,
it doesn't. The founders didn't intend that, all right. The
next initiative to make Kansas Great Again k DOS. Yes,
(16:56):
it is a play on the Elon Musk and Donald
Trump Doe initiative the Department of Government Efficiency Kansas version.
So let's talk about efficiency. We have got Elon Musk
slashing waste at the federal level. We all love it.
We all get a sense ever since Trump got back
in office. Don't you agree that even on a cloudy day,
(17:17):
even on a cloudy day, the sun is brighter. It's
because we're seeing all this waste and these are the fraud,
the abuse that the did dare I say, crimes being exposed.
We're seeing this all happen right in front of us.
So I'm going to bring that same energy to Kansas
with Mike K. Dodge initiative k DOGE. I'm getting a
(17:39):
nod over there. Yes, that's how I pronounce it, Department
of Government Government Efficiency Kansas version. I know that there
is something in KEMP because people in Kansas are saying, well, Doug,
you know the Senate created something called the Senate Committee
on Government Efficiency Initiative. They call it coge coge right. Okay,
(18:00):
it was rolled out in January, folks, January of this year,
twenty twenty five, and it's published no meaningful results whatsoever.
For those of you watching, you don't. It's an initiative
that the Senate created and it's an online syst asking
for the public to give ideas about how to cut waste,
fraud and abuse, which is fine, but they haven't done anything.
(18:22):
And you know, Elon Musk and President Trump aren't asking
the public what they should go after. They're going after
obvious waste, abuse and fraud. Because anyone who has any
common sense can understand and know and identify what waste, bureaucracy, fraud,
and inefficiency looks like. We all know it. So here's
(18:42):
what I do. Under the Kansas Constitution, Article one, Section one,
the governor has a broad executive authority to appoint heads
of major state agencies. Some of those may require Senate confirmation.
But look, we've got a super majority of Republicans in
the Senate. I'm a maga conservative. I will bring forth
people who the Senate loves and who Kansas needs. I
(19:06):
know bankers, high level CEOs, financial brilliant financial minds who
I would invite to come on and free of charge
to Kansas. The legislature won't have to worry about purse
strings or how are we going to pay for this?
These people would engage in determined patriotism as part of
their view of patriotism towards Kansas, and they would work
(19:31):
closely with the Senate and the House Republicans and all
of our in all of the branches, and we would
begin to reduce waste. I'm not going to sit around
a waste time asking questions about what waste is. We
already know what waste is. We can see it and
smell it a mile away. We're gonna put together a
team that I will appoint that will go after it,
(19:51):
and we will report the results once a week, once
a week to the people of Kansas and to the
country who's ever interested in watching. The first department is
the Kansas Department of Administration. This department oversees budgeting and
efficiency and it's led by a secretary who I get
to appoint. Okay, The Kansas Department of Revenue another one.
(20:14):
It's a key department for any tax related initiatives like
eliminating property tax. It also has a secretary that I
get to appoint as governor, the Kansas State Board of Education.
This one's a little bit different because it is an
elected body in the state of Kansas. But as governor,
I can appoint the Commissioner of Education, who gets to
(20:37):
execute the policies. So that person, you can better believe
it is going to be a like minded mega conservative.
So that most agency heads in Kansas and under the
Constitution in Kansas serve at quote the pleasure of the governor,
which means I can hire and fire them as I
see fit, and if they're not doing the job, they're out.
(21:00):
So I can appoint maga conservatives within my administration who
share my vision. I'm talking again, fiscal hawks, anti woke crusaders,
pro life warriors. Once these people are appointed, I can
direct those agency heads to implement my k DOJE agenda,
(21:22):
staying well within existing legal authority. As governor, I'm not
going to step outside of that authority. But here's how
we're going to be doing this. Specifically, so number one
efficiency audits, that's exactly what I would be doing. I
would instruct the Secretary of administration, for example, to launch
internal reviews of spending, to identify waste and propose cuts
(21:45):
to me and beautifully, almost ironically, that is already part
of the job description of that particular title under Kansas
KSA seventy five three seven oh seven look it up.
The second way we're going to do this with DOSEE
is implement policy shifts. I would direct, for example, the
(22:06):
Commissioner of Education to prioritize curriculum changes like scrapping DEI
or WOKE agendas and redirect resources to classroom basics. I
would leverage my influence as governor. We do have a
bully pulpit as governor, after all, I would leverage that
(22:27):
over the Department of Education's operations. And then we would
use another specific way that we do this with DOZE,
as we invoke regulatory rollbacks. I would I think as
I think about that, I would direct the Department of
Revenue or other such agencies to streamline their processes to
cut red tape, to pilot tax reforms, tax elimination programs,
(22:52):
and steps towards the goal of eliminating property tax. Those
are specific ways in which we can do this. Save
this tape, save this show share it and play that back,
because that's important. No other candidate is saying it. My
past life in corporate America negotiating collective bargaining agreements against
(23:16):
very aggressive unions. I mean, I'm talking the United Auto Workers,
the Teamsters, I mean the tough of the tough, and
the radical of the radical. I've sat across the table
from a nurses union from California that'll make your head
spind the most radical group of kooks you've ever want
to meet. But I digress. Negotiating those agreements is perfect
(23:38):
experience for all of this about which I'm speaking to
you about. Because I know how to rally a team,
I know how to set clear goals and hold people accountable,
and to negotiate deals on behalf of the people of Kansas.
I will keep Kanson's informed. They will not only receive
weekly updates from k doos, but they will see the
(24:00):
monthly or possibly quarterly television broadcasts from me, keeping in touch,
telling them what's going on. And I'm going to travel
the state. The traveling for me will not end after
the campaign. In fact, it'll probably get busier as I
travel the state after I win. So that's my plan
with regards to k DOJ, the Kansas Department of Government Efficiency.
(24:23):
I mentioned also eliminating WOKE and DEI initiatives, So let's
get real about that diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. They're divisive,
they're wasteful, their distractions, and at their core, they're racist
and prejudiced, and they've got no place in Kansas. As
(24:44):
far as I'm concerned as governor, I'm going to eliminate
every state funded program pushing that kind of garbage. Our
schools and agencies should focus on merit, not identity politics.
And I've seen the numbers with Musk and so forth.
At the federal level. Doze at the federal level has
(25:05):
saved over a billion dollars federally by cutting DEI contracts.
And we can do the same kinds of things in Kansas.
Why are we spending tax dollars to lecture Kansas or
any other member of any other state about privilege instead
of fixing roads or teaching kids. It's insanity and it
(25:29):
all ends under my watch as governor in Kansas. And
you again using the template for your governor in your state. Hey,
Billing's over in Kansas is cleaning up. He's eliminating woke
and DEI agendas. How Come we're not doing this in
Iowa or Tennessee, or Nebraska, or or California or wherever.
(25:49):
We're going to unite around our shared values, folks, And
as we're learning when we look at what Trump is
doing in the seventy five percent of Americans who agree
with DOGE and the initiatives the elon and his team
are doing, we're going to take that advantage and we're
going to work with it in Kansas, hard work, family
and faith, not tearing each other apart with woke ideologies
(26:10):
and DEI requirements that are at their core racist and prejudicial.
And my outside strength again is a strength, my outside experience.
I'm not a politician. Why me, That's what you should
be asking, and I welcome the question. Thank you, Roy
Howard out there on Facebook. I'm glad you're liking the
(26:32):
sound of this. I appreciate it, my friend, and thanks
for taking time to make a comment. Folks. You as
I broadcast Live Feel Free Facebook on X, We're out
there on Rumble. We're out there on a number of places,
but Facebook and X. Thank you very much. Roy. I
see your comment. As vice president of human resources. As
I mentioned, sitting across from the Teamsters or the United
(26:54):
Auto Workers, the United steel Workers, or nurses unions or
whatever is not an easy task. It's not for the
faint of heart. I can tell you that negotiating multi million,
sometimes billion dollar contracts that saved everything from insurance costs
to labor costs to electric bills. That's what I've done.
The art of the deal right here, I'm the one,
(27:18):
and all of that would be huge from Kansas for Kansas.
So if the legislature is going to be a little
bit stubborn on some issues, let me talk with them.
Let me get in and speak with our Republican friends
in the House and the Senate. Let's work on negotiating
and cutting these kinds of deals for the people of Kansas.
(27:38):
And let's please, when we're in front of the cameras,
tell the truth and call it what it is. The
DEI Woke agenda, for example, is Kuckville. It's not going
to happen anymore. The radical liberal agenda is Kukville. It's
over in Kansas. The radical liberal movement in America has
completely surplanted what used to be the Democrat Party. Folks,
(28:01):
the Democrat Party does not exist anymore. It's the Commune
Socialist Party. And when you look at their policies, their platform,
and their agenda, it doesn't take a rocket science to
scientists to realize that they are not a pro America
political party. I mean, evidence of the obvious is sufficient.
Look at what they did to our border situation under
(28:22):
the Biden regime. Crime, chaos, and crisis. That's what they
want every one of their policies. Another example, besides the
border crime, defunding the police. Are you kidding me? Why?
It begs the question why would they open the borders,
Why would they defund the police. Why don't they prosecute
violent criminals with extreme prejudice. Why don't they put people
(28:45):
behind bars and sentence people with the full force of
the law behind them. Here's the secret. Because they want chaos,
they want crime, they want crisis, crisis, chaos, crime, that's
what they want. Evidence of the obvious is sufficient, and
(29:06):
so they've replaced their Democrat Party with this blending of
communism and socialism. I call it the Commune Socialist Party.
Clearly not a pro America political party. I've spent my
life solving real problems, whether it's at the negotiation table
in corporate America as an HR vice president, personnel problems,
(29:26):
personality conflicts, reaching agreement, from classrooms to boardrooms. I've done it,
and I'm going to bring that passion, that determination that
know how to Topeka and millions of people across this
country know already who I am and what my MAGA
(29:46):
style is and how I talk to you just like this.
I can't wait to get out on the road in
Kansas and visit every county within the state because they
this is a this is a style, this is a
passion that resonates two million people a month. Don't tune
in just for fun because they don't like what they're watching.
(30:10):
And that's what we get two million people a month.
So we know, we know how far our message goes.
We're going to focus it on Kansas and I'm proud
and honored to do it. I'm running with a woman
named April McCoy. She's going to be our lieutenant governor,
a MAGA conservative woman. Her and her husband, Sean, who
(30:31):
is an Army veteran, received the Purple Heart for injuries
that he received in Afghanistan. April McCoy is a business woman.
She came from a man's world in sales, where she
excelled and became the number one sales leader in her company.
She's going to be an excellent lieutenant governor for you
in the state of Kansas. And I can't wait to
work with April and all of the team that we
(30:53):
have assembled in Kansas. We will have a website up soon,
we'll have an avenue by which you can volunteer to
help the campaign. And Kansas needs a fighter like this.
We don't need a figurehead. And there you have it.
That's a Maga vision as I see it for the
state of And this is only episode one, folks. I'm
(31:13):
going to talk for four or five episodes about what
we're going to do. And I think that you'll agree
that when you listen to the show. I know I'm
talking about Kansas, but you can. You can implement these things,
and you can be part of a grassroots movement within
your own state that will push these initiatives wherever you live,
to drive the message in the point home, no property text,
(31:35):
a world class educational system, a k DOS revolution, a
Maga economic boom, no woke or deibs from an outsider
who knows how to win tough fights. Thank you, ladies
and gentlemen. I'm about out of time. I do want
(31:56):
to encourage you if you like this show. Apart from
my campaign, if you like this show, head over to
Doug Billings dot us. Doug Billings dot Us. It's how
I make a living. If you like me, Www. Doug
Billings dot us. There's a way that you can prayerfully
consider setting up a monthly recurring donation over there so
I can continue to produce the show and make a
(32:16):
living until I'm sitting in that governor's mansion in Kansas.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm with you, and I know that
you're with me. We're in this thing together wherever you live.
Believe it. For the Republic, for Kansas. Cheers,
