1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Well hammer. The Senator from the great state of Indiana, 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Jim Banks, should be on this show tomorrow, I believe, 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: talking about this very subject, launching truck safe tip lines, 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: to combat to illegal drivers, unlawful trucking networks, so on 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: and so forth. It's on the heels of the Kurus 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: extent and legal immigrant that killed four people in a 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: semi truck that he was driving. 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: This is a much bigger deal than I think people understand. 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: And it's not just an Indiana deal like oh No, California, 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 2: major trucking hubs. Anybody can just basically show up and 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: they're getting the ability to drive these big rigs out 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: on the highway. Now are they supposed to? 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: No. 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: But people bypassing skirt rules and regulations all the time, 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: and it seems like it's been really put into the 16 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: forefront of the media since that awful accident where the 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: Amish folks were killed on the highway. And you've got 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: Jim Banks. Now he puts out this statement quote, Indiana 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 2: is the crossroads of America, and Hoosiers are getting killed 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: because drivers who should not be here in the first 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: place are behind the wheel. If you're driving a truck 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: on our roads. You need to be legal, you need 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: to be able to read traffic signs, and you need 24 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: to follow the law. The Truck Safe Tip line gives 25 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: people on the ground a way to speak up when 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: they see carriers cutting corners and putting lives at risk 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: and cutting corners, I think is the perfect way to 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: sum this up. Right, it's already against the law, but 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: so many businesses are cutting corners. 30 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: Should you at least have the ability, if you're a 31 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: truck driver in this country to speak English? Because when 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: I was in logistics, when I was working for a 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: small three pl company, I dealt with truckers all day long. 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: I would say seventy percent of them couldn't We couldn't 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: understand each other. I just knew that I had to 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: take the seal off the back of the doors of 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: the semi and write it down and you know, unload 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: the cargo. But I, you know, about the only thing 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: I understood was bathroom. You know, where's the path over 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: these rights? Now? I don't know. Just because they didn't 41 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: speak English doesn't mean they weren't here legally. Okay, I 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: had no clue if they were or were not. But 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: I am saying that it was very hard to communicate 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: with a lot of these guys that are making daily 45 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: truck routes and maybe out of Chicago. 46 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: Ten years ago, Yeah, it wasn't as bad of a 47 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: situation as it is now because during the Biden administration, 48 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: when it was a wide open door at the southern 49 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: border and so many people came in like it was 50 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 2: just a free for all if anybody that wanted to 51 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: get into this country. Now we're noticing this a lot more, 52 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: and this is why the Democrats are so freaking out 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: about the Save Act, making it so you have to 54 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: have an identification to vote, because the whole premise of 55 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: opening up the southern border was to find some way, 56 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: whether it's through blue states, blue governors or whatnot, to 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: get everybody that crossed illegally some sort of ID to vote. 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: That's all that this thing was about. And we're hoping 59 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 2: later on tonight the House of Representatives passes the Save Act. 60 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: House Speaker Johnson said he's ready to make a move 61 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: on it in the House. Now with the Senate, we'll see, 62 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: but the House looks like they're ready to make a 63 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: move on it. Let's see how many squish weak Republicans 64 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: decide to play ball with the Democrats and not pass this. 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: We'll see it tonight.
