We had 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: big wins for the American people that are going to 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: have a real impact, especially on a lot of Americans 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: millions in twenty twenty six from many of the laws 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: that were passed are actually enacted on a scala one 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: to ten. 11 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: How excite are you about the results from this year? 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 3: Thirty seven? 13 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: Thirty seven? Okay, I like that. 14 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 4: Look this year, it is not an exaggeration to say 15 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 4: we had historic victories in the Senate. We had victories 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 4: at a order of magnitude we've never seen. And so 17 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 4: this show, we're just going to walk through all of 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 4: the victories we've. 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 3: Won in the Senate. 20 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 4: I'll tell you, in my thirteen years in the Senate, 21 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 4: I have never had a year like this with so 22 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 4: many major victories, with how many accomplishments that are lasting 23 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 4: and transformational and and and look we came in and 24 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 4: started the year with President Trump being sworn in and 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 4: the Trump administration hit the ground running with with a 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 4: head of steam. But the Senate and the Senate is now, 27 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 4: Congress is out now for Christmas. We'll come back after 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: New Years. What we accomplished this year is transformation. All right. 29 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: Let's start with the board. We came in. 30 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 4: The border was wide open, the worst illegal immigration in history. 31 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 4: We now have a president and an administration that will 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 4: follow the law. Illegal border crossings dropped more than ninety 33 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 4: nine percent. 34 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: That is static, incredible. 35 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Tom Holman at the White House this week was talking 36 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: about he's worked under I think it's five six presidents. 37 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: Crazy and he's like, I've never seen something like this 38 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: where we have like zero illegal immigration because we secured 39 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: it and we said you're not going to get away 40 00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: with it. 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 4: And if you look legislatively, by far, legislatively, the biggest 42 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 4: accomplishment was the Reconciliation Bill that President Trump signed on 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 4: July fourth. It's interesting that used to be called the 44 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 4: one big beautiful bill. You will now see just about 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 4: every Senator referring to it as the working Family's tax cut. 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 4: Same bill, and there's a reason, which is they did 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 4: a bunch of polling and the Working Family Tax Cut 48 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 4: polls about forty points better than the one big beautiful bill, 49 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: And so it happens to be a major tax cut 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: for working family. So the Working Family's tax cut is 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 4: an accurate name. But you're going to notice everyone calling 52 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 4: it the working Family's tax cut. Now that legislation, and 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 4: this no hyperbole, has more conservative victories in it than 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: any bill that's ever passed into law, I believe in 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: the history of the Republic. 56 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: Let's break it down. 57 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: I'll just say, what are the big ones for bal 58 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: Because there's some in there that there's been quote frustration. 59 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: I think a lot of this is the left in 60 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: the media trying to drum up that Donald Trump's not 61 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: getting it done for you. 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: He forgot about you. 63 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: So much of what people need to understand is the 64 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: passing of this bill means the enacting of the bill 65 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, many of the provisions go into effect in twenty 67 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: twenty six. You're going to start seeing the real benefits 68 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 4: in the economy kicking in in force in twenty twenty six. 69 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: All right, Look, the Working Family's Tax cut, the biggest 70 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 4: element of it was extending and making permanent the Trump 71 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: tax cuts. If we had not done that in two 72 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: weeks on January first, there would have been a four 73 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: trillion dollar tax increase that would have been crippling to 74 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 4: the economy. So making those tax cuts permanent is enormously important. 75 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: We also made them bigger, so we passed no taxes 76 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 4: on tips. That was my legislation. By the way, people 77 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 4: will start seeing the benefits of that next year. So 78 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 4: if you're a waiter, if you're a waitress, if you're 79 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: a bartender, if you work in a nail salon, if 80 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 4: you're a taxicab driver, that the millions of Americans who 81 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 4: rely on tips are going to see real, meaningful tax relief. 82 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: We've also got no tax on overtime, millions of Americans 83 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 4: who earn a significant portion of their income on overtime 84 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 4: that's now tax free. No tax on Social Security for 85 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: the millions of seniors at home relying on Social Security. 86 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 4: All three of those are going to effect in twenty 87 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 4: twenty six. All three of those are going to provide 88 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: really meaningful relief. 89 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: What else do we have? 90 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: You look at the investments that we have over one 91 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: hundred billion dollars in secure in the border. So Trump 92 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: is enforcing the law that was critical that produced the 93 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 4: immediate drop. And now we provided the funding to build 94 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: the wall, to put in technology, to hire border patrol, 95 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 4: to hire ice, to invest in law enforcement. All of 96 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 4: that is designed to make these massive improvements stick. That is, 97 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 4: as a conservative, there's never been a one hundred billion 98 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 4: dollar investment in securing the border. 99 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. 100 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: I was speaking yesterday to a realator group. They asked 101 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: me to come and speak, and they said to me, 102 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: they never could have imagined that securing the border would 103 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: have such a positive impact as they've described it for 104 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 1: American families. They said they were witnessing over the last 105 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: basically four and a half years, the age of first 106 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: time home buyers had skyrocketed, where home ownership was unattainable 107 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: for families, young families in their thirties. It was now 108 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: getting to be forty before people were getting the first. 109 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: Time home buyer. Rent had gotten out of control. 110 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: And they said they can't wait for twenty twenty six 111 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: because they are seeing now with two million plus deportations, 112 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: people have stopped coming across the border illegally. They believe 113 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: it's going to be a great year for American families 114 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: and first time home buyers because now you're not having 115 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: to con pete with so many illegal immigrants. 116 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 4: Well, and we covered that on Wednesday's pod, that the 117 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 4: new data came out that showed rents dropped significantly, and 118 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 4: they dropped significantly because the President has deported two million 119 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 4: people who are here illegally. Those people are now not 120 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 4: buying homes, they're not running apartments and supply and demand. 121 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 4: That means that it drives down the cost of a home. 122 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 4: It drives down the cost of rent for Americans. 123 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really does. It's incredible. And that's just one 124 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: of those massive victories. And it's not just that, it's 125 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: also the national security part of this. 126 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: I mean, really, do you hear. 127 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: Home prices and national security really to one simple issue 128 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: that's something that you had been fighting so hard on 129 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: to another victory. 130 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 4: Well, and in the Working Families tax cut, we invested 131 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty billion dollars in rebuilding the military 132 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: so we can stand up to our adversaries, so we 133 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 4: can stand up to China and the other enemies. 134 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: We have across the globe. 135 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 4: And the way it works in the Senate is when 136 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: you're drafting that bill. Each committee chairman drafts whatever is 137 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 4: in their jurisdiction. So I am the chairman of the 138 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,119 Speaker 4: Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. That committee covers 139 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 4: about forty percent of the US economy. What that means 140 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 4: is that everything within that jurisdiction I wrote. 141 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: I had the lead pen and wrote. 142 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: So, for example, one thing that is in the Commerce 143 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 4: jurisdiction is the Coastguard. So we invested twenty four and 144 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: a half billion dollars in. 145 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: The Coast Guard. 146 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 4: Now, to give you a sense of how important that is, 147 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 4: how significant that is. What what do you think the 148 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: annual budget of the Coastguard is? 149 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: I honestly have no clue. 150 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 4: It's between eleven and twelve billion. Okay, So we invested 151 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 4: more than two hundred percent the annual budget of the 152 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 4: Coast Guard into the Coast Guard. 153 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean it is. 154 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: Store were purposely and deliberately underfunded by the Left and 155 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: the Biden administration because they didn't want them to be 156 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 1: able to do this job. 157 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 4: Well, look, it was what we were investing. And let 158 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: me tell you what we invested. It was specifically in capital, 159 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 4: so rebuilding infrastructure, building new ships, building new helicopters, and 160 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: a massive portion of it is polar ice cutters. 161 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: So polar ice cutters in the Arctic. 162 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 4: We're getting our asses kicked by China and by Russia, 163 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: and we don't have the capability right now. 164 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: To build Arctic ice cutters. 165 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: Well, we've invested billions in building new ice cutters. And 166 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: the beauty of it is that's bringing shipbuilding back to 167 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: the United States. One company, Davies, announced a billion and 168 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: a half dollars investment in a shipyard in Galveston, Texas 169 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 4: to build those ships. Let us compete with China, but 170 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 4: also bringing manufacturing capacity back to the United States. 171 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: Operation Overlord the D Day Beaches. 172 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: You and I share a passion for history, so I 173 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: hope you'll join me next spring on the d DA 174 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: Beaches in Normandy. That's right, the invasion that sealed Hitler's doom, 175 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: o Maha and Utah. You're going to discover the sacred 176 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: patch of sand with me. Ten days in Europe, luxury 177 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: hotels and fully escorted by America's leading expert on France 178 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: and the D Day Invasion can chase fifty seven fifty 179 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: seven and that includes your airfare. You're gonna stand at 180 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: General Patten's grave site by Stone Point Duhal and Mulberry Harbor. 181 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: Call my friends at Conservative Tours on your cell phone. 182 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: Just dial pound two fifty and say the keyword Conservative Tours, 183 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: or go to Conservative Tours dot com an A plus 184 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: rating with the BBB all your sight seeing in Paris. 185 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: To dial pound two fifty say the keyword Conservative Tours. 186 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: You'll have the option to receive a one time auto 187 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: dialed text message from my Heart Media Center. There was 188 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: so much a focus on the economy and this last 189 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: year and the wins, but there were some really big 190 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: wins within that. One of them deals with the airwaves, 191 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: and it deals with national security, It deals with people 192 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: and what you can have access to explain this big 193 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: win because it didn't get as much media attention as 194 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: it probably should have. 195 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 196 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 4: Look, as you know, my number one priority is jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. 197 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: There are lots of major wins this year that we 198 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 4: passed into law that are impacting job creation, that are 199 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 4: creating more high paying jobs in Texas and all across 200 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: the country. One of the big ones is spectrum. Now, 201 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 4: what is spectrum? Electromagnetic spectrum is how everything communicates, how 202 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: how our cell phones work, how Wi Fi works, how 203 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 4: TV and broadcasts and everything goes out over spectrum. The 204 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 4: largest holder of spectrum in the United States is the 205 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: United States government. The United States government has massive quantities 206 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 4: of spectrum that it owns that are not available to 207 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: the private sector. I wrote into the Working Families Tax 208 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 4: cut a mandate that the federal government auction off eight 209 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 4: hundred megahertz a spectrum to the private sector. Now, now 210 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: what does that mean. That means that in the coming 211 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 4: years that is going to generate over one hundred billion 212 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 4: dollars for the US government. I mean, the spectrum is 213 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 4: incredibly valuable. That's real money that goes directly to the 214 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 4: US Treasury. Now, why will it generate over one hundred 215 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 4: billion dollars? Because that spectrum is incredibly valuable. Number one, 216 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 4: it's it's it's valuable for our phones. It's valuable to 217 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 4: beat China in the race for five G and then 218 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 4: beat China and the race for six G. And you've 219 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: got to have the spectrum to invest in that. What 220 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 4: that means is you're gonna see You're gonna see the 221 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 4: big phone companies. You're gonna see AT and T and 222 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 4: Verizon and Sprint investing tens of billions of dollars into 223 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 4: new capacity to use that spectrum. All of that means 224 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: more jobs. That means more people setting up towers, more 225 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: people building that innovation, and also it supercharges the tech world, 226 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: much of the AI world. Winning the race for AI 227 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 4: having that spectrum available means the private sector they can 228 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 4: compete for all sorts of different uses for using that spectrum. 229 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 4: And I'll tell you that was not an easy battle, 230 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 4: because most of that spectrum that the government holds is 231 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: either the Department of War or the intelligence agencies have 232 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: them and they don't like to give them up. We 233 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 4: won that fight. That will generate thousands and thousands of 234 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 4: that will produce thousands and thousands of new jobs. Another 235 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 4: big win in the Working Family tax cut is air 236 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 4: traffic control modernization. 237 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: In that bill we certainly needed, by the way, like 238 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: I as I think people understand how desperately the need 239 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: was for modernization. What the Trump administration inherited. You and 240 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: I both remember the very first night a dear friend 241 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: of ours became the cabinet member in charge of Transportation, 242 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: Secretary John Duffy. The first night he and his family 243 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: went into his building where his office was going to 244 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: be and we had that horrific crash with a helicopter 245 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: that came across and hit that plane at Reagan National 246 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: wife was in the air that night, and it brought 247 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: up even a bigger issue like how does this happen? 248 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: And we realized there was a massive modernization that was 249 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: desperately needed for the safety as more and more planes 250 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: are flying each and every day. You fly every week, 251 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: I fly almost every week as well. I want to 252 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: know I'm safe. I want to know when my family's 253 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: on a plane that they are safe. And this is 254 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: something that's good for every American that flies well. 255 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 4: And we had two major victories this year in the 256 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 4: Senate on aviation safety. The first was in the Working 257 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 4: Family Tax Cut. We invested twelve and a half billion 258 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 4: dollars in terms of modernizing our air traffic control. Air 259 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 4: traffic controllers right now in the tower. If you look 260 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 4: at the technology they've been using, it is literally nineteen 261 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: fifties and nineteen sixties technology. They're using radar, they're using 262 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 4: little slips of paper, they're using floppy disc. They have 263 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 4: computers with floppy disc. When I talk to anyone under thirty, 264 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 4: they don't know what a floppy disk is but saying 265 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 4: that's the technology that they're using. So there's twelve and 266 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 4: a half million dollars. They've been the FAA, the Trump 267 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 4: administration has been ripping up copper wiring that was failing 268 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 4: and replacing it with fiber. They'd been getting new and 269 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 4: updated computers, getting new technology, all designed so the air 270 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 4: traffic controllers can know where the planes are and can 271 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 4: manage the airspace to avoid collisions. You know, you mentioned 272 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 4: the horrific accident that happened over d C. Ronald Reagan 273 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 4: Airport at the end of January. That accident, an American 274 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 4: Airlines flight was flying from Wichita, Kansas, landing at d C. 275 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 4: Reagan and as you know, it hit an Army black 276 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 4: Hawk helicopter. Sixty seven lives perished that instant. As you noted, 277 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 4: Heidi was literally in the air scheduled to land at Reagan. 278 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: About an hour after that, I was sitting at dinner. 279 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 4: I was having dinner with Mike Waltz, who was at 280 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: the time President Trump's National security advisor. Now he's the 281 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 4: Ambassador of the UN in Mike's a good friend of mine, 282 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 4: and we were at dinner when we both got notified. 283 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 4: In fact, my body man who you know, he came 284 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 4: up and thankfully he did this right. He started with 285 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 4: Heidi's okay, but I need to tell you what just happened, 286 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: and that was a good way to start. I'm glad 287 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 4: the Heighti's okay started. But if you look at aviation safety, 288 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 4: a second big victory that we just had on aviation 289 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 4: safety happened this week, which is in response to what 290 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 4: happened there, I began drafting legislation that's called the Road 291 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: Or Act, and the Road To Act is designed to 292 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 4: mandate that all aircraft in the sky use what's called 293 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 4: ADSB technology ADSB out and ADSB in, and that is 294 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 4: advanced technology to help the other planes in the sky 295 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 4: and the other aircraft see each other and to help 296 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 4: the air traffic controllers have the information on the precise 297 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 4: location in real time. With radar, there's a delay, whereas 298 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 4: ADSB gives it to you in real time. Now, why 299 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 4: is that directly relevant to the crash. Well, the Army 300 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 4: Blackhawk helicopter had ADSB technology installed. 301 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 3: They had it turned off. 302 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and so the American Airlines pilot couldn't see the 303 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 4: Blackhawk helicopter and didn't know it was there until the 304 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: two collided it, and unfortunately, we discovered the Army had 305 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 4: a policy of leaving ADSB turned off just as a 306 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 4: routine matter. It was indefensible. And so the Rotor Act 307 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 4: mandates number one, that the military followed the same rules 308 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 4: as everybody else. If you're going to be flying, particularly 309 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 4: through crowded airspace at an airport, use the technology so 310 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: the other aircraft can see where you are and so 311 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 4: you don't have a collision. And it mandates that everyone 312 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 4: use ADSB technology in and out in the planes. That legislation. 313 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting. We had the Senate just passed 314 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 4: this week the National Defense Authorization Act that we passed 315 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 4: that air every year, that is the big military authorization 316 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 4: that we pass and someone in the House of Representatives 317 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 4: dropped a provision in in the dark of night that 318 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 4: would have allowed the Army to keep ADSB turned off. Well, 319 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 4: this week I passed the Road To Act and repealed 320 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 4: that provision. And so when the House passes it and 321 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 4: the President's signs it, which I think will happen in January, 322 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 4: everyone will be safe for flying. 323 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: There is one thing that I actually think will end 324 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: up being your legacy one day, long, long down the road, 325 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: when you're long and gone and people say, what did 326 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz do? I actually believe this will be brought 327 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: up for an extremely long amount of time. It is 328 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: going to be transformative to this country, to the young 329 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: people in this country, and it deals with education. It 330 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: is something you've been championing for decades, an idea that 331 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: you love, and now it became reality and you had 332 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: to fight tooth and nail to keep it in the 333 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: big bill. Talk about this victory and what it means 334 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: application wise, especially moving forward. 335 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 4: Well, look, I agree with you in terms of the 336 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 4: magnitude of this victory. And let me say, when we 337 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 4: were in the middle of drafting the Working Families Tax 338 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 4: Cut in April of this year, we did a retreat 339 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 4: of all the Senate Republicans and we were talking about 340 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 4: all the different elements that we wanted the bill, and 341 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: everyone had different priorities, and I stood up kind of 342 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 4: midway through and I said said, look, there are a 343 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 4: lot of things in this bill that are incredibly important. 344 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 4: Cutting taxes, investing and securing the border, rebuilding the military. 345 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 4: All of that matters a ton. But I said, we 346 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 4: had to think for a minute about legacy, about what 347 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 4: will be remembered ten twenty thirty years from now, what 348 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 4: will be remembered when we're dead and buried. And I said, 349 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 4: I've got two suggestions, two suggestions that fall into the category. 350 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 4: The first was school choice and the second was what 351 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 4: has now become the Trump accounts. Now, both of those 352 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 4: suggestions I wrote the legislation for, and both of them 353 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 4: are in the bill. Let's start with school choice. What 354 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 4: is in the bill. This will kick in. This will 355 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 4: start kicking in in a year. And what it will 356 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 4: do is every taxpayer in America can give up to 357 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 4: seventeen hundred dollars to a scholarship granting organization in the States. 358 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 4: If you do so, you will get a dollar for 359 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 4: dollar tax credit. Now, importantly, this is not a deduction, 360 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 4: it's a credit. What does that mean. It means if 361 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson writes a check for one thousand, seven hundred 362 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 4: dollars to an organization that gives scholarships to kids in Texas, 363 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 4: you owe oney seven hundred dollars less to Uncle Sam. 364 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 4: You just give less on your taxes. So it's basically 365 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 4: free money. From your perspective, what that is going to 366 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 4: do is it is going to produce tens of billions 367 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 4: of dollars of scholarships for kids in K through twelve 368 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 4: education all across the country and ten twenty thirty years 369 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 4: from now, literally millions of kids who were stuck fuck 370 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 4: in failing schools, many of them African American kids, Hispanic kids, 371 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 4: low income kids, who are in schools where there's violence, 372 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 4: where they're not learning, where they're not able to get 373 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 4: the education. You're failing and we're failing them. Look, you know, 374 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 4: if it's a five year old, it's not the five 375 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 4: year old's fault. If the kindergarten is a crappy kindergarten, 376 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 4: that's not the kid's fault. That is, at the end 377 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 4: of the day, school choice is about. I think it's 378 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 4: the civil rights issue of the twenty first century. I 379 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: think every child deserves access to an excellent education, and 380 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: it shouldn't matter what your race is, what your wealth is, 381 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 4: where you live. This provision thirty years from now, we're 382 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 4: going to look back and literally there're gonna be millions 383 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: of kids who would have been failed by the system, 384 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 4: but instead got a scholarship and ended up being able 385 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 4: to go to a Catholic school to a Jewish day school, 386 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 4: to a private school, and to be safe, not to 387 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 4: be at risk of violence, to learn, to read and learn. 388 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: And if you get education, it opens up every other 389 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 4: opportunity for the rest of your life. And if you 390 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: don't get an education, you're screwed. And so that is 391 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 4: in there. Look, I've been fighting for school choice for 392 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 4: thirty years. The school choice movement is the domestic priority 393 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 4: I care the most about. 394 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: By the way, let's go back from here. That maybe 395 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: miss that episode. 396 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't think people understand just how hard democrats, the teachers' 397 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 1: unions didn't want this to happen, and how hard you 398 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: had to fight to keep it in there, because there 399 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: was many times where we thought it may not make it. 400 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 4: Look And it was particularly difficult because the Senate Parliamentarian. 401 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 4: To get anything through the reconciliation process, you have to 402 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 4: go through the Senate Parliamentarian, and there are Kane rules 403 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: for what is allowed and what is not allowed when 404 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 4: you're doing reconciliation. Three times the Senate Parliamentarian struck this 405 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 4: school choice provision, and normally the way that happens, it's 406 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 4: like litigation where you have both sides the Democrats get 407 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: to argue. So the Democrats argued to the parliamentarian, stripped 408 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 4: this out and fought tooth and nail. Now, normally it 409 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 4: is staff. It is staff of senators who go in 410 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 4: and argue on both sides. It is very unusual for 411 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 4: a senator to do this. I did this myself. I 412 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 4: went in and argued to the Parliamentarian and her team directly, 413 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 4: and we ended up rewriting the provision. We rewrote it 414 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 4: three times to get it through. When she objected to something, 415 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 4: we rewrote it to address that, and we got it 416 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 4: in the second provision that is going to have just 417 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 4: just generational. 418 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 3: Impacts or the Trump accounts, and. 419 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: Starting that I love there called drum accounts. There is 420 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: a great marketing measure. But this started with you, senator, 421 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: and you could easily call this the cruise accounts the 422 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: same time. 423 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's in sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue and so 424 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 4: he gets to have his name on it. And that's great. 425 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 4: He signed it in the law and it is historic. 426 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 4: But I did write the provision and I got to 427 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 4: say the impact, what's going to happen next year? 428 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 3: Next year? On July fourth, every child in. 429 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 4: America is going to have a personal investment account open 430 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 4: for them. Newborn children will have one thousand dollars automatically 431 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 4: seeded into it. 432 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 2: This is amazing. 433 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 4: Parents, families, employers can put up to five thousand dollars 434 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 4: a year in a tax advantage account and all of 435 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 4: that will be invested in the S and P five hundred, 436 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: will be invested in a broad based equity index, invested in. 437 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 3: The stock market. 438 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 4: Two massive benefits from this Number One, every child in 439 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 4: America will get the benefit of compound growth, and that 440 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 4: is incredibly powerful. A little girl born next year, she 441 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: has one thousand dollars put in it automatically. If her 442 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 4: parents or family or an employer puts five thousand a year, 443 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 4: that's invested in the stock market. We grow at the 444 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 4: historical rate of average seven percent of the S and 445 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 4: P five hundred. By the time she is eighteen, she 446 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 4: will have one hundred and seventy thousand dollars in that account. 447 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,239 Speaker 4: And if she keeps investing five thousand a year, by 448 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 4: the time she's thirty five, she will have seven hundred 449 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 4: thousand dollars in that account. That's transformation. And we're not 450 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 4: talking rich kids. We're talking the kids of a single mom, 451 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: talking everybody. 452 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 3: We're talking everybody. 453 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 4: That's money that she can use to buy a home, 454 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 4: to start a business, to get an education. I mean, 455 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 4: that changes her entire life. But secondly, and this is 456 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 4: the part as a conservative that I'm really excited about. 457 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 4: We are creating a whole new generation of capitalists, a 458 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 4: whole new generation of kids. Every kid is going to 459 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 4: be an owner of the biggest employers in America. And 460 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: so they won't think about companies as big, mean, scary corporations. 461 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 4: They'll look at their phone and they'll see the app 462 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 4: and say, look, I own I own one hundred bucks 463 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 4: of Apple, or or or Boeing or McDonald's. And that 464 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 4: I think will change the country. And and without exaggeration, Ben, 465 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 4: I think those two provisions are the most consequential provisions 466 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 4: of the entire bill. And you know, it was interesting, 467 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 4: as you know, a couple of weeks ago, I was 468 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 4: I was at the White House with the President for 469 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 4: a big press conference on the Trump accounts, and and 470 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 4: Michael and Susan Dela were there, and the two of 471 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 4: them are giving six and a quarter billion dollars to 472 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: put to put money in the accounts of millions of 473 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 4: kids all over the country, and we deliberately wrote this 474 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 4: so that philanthropists could do that. That was part of 475 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 4: the design. I wrote the legislation so these accounts would 476 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 4: be able to accept gifts of philanthropy. And and it 477 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 4: was interesting at the press conference where where we were 478 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 4: talking about the effect and transformational effect, and you could 479 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 4: actually see President Trump. I think he he really got 480 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 4: the impact of this at the press conference in a 481 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 4: way I don't think he ever had. And there was 482 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 4: a reporter who asked him, said, mister President, are these 483 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 4: Trump Accounts going to be a major part of your legacy? 484 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 4: And you could kind of see him thinking about that 485 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 4: and then just like, yes, yes they will. And I 486 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 4: think that's absolutely right. Look, I mean, in terms of 487 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 4: my tenure in the Senate, there is nothing I am 488 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 4: more proud of doing in the Senate in thirteen years 489 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 4: fighting for Texans than passing the biggest school choice program 490 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 4: in American history and passing the Trump Accounts into law. 491 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 4: And both of those they're going to impact not just 492 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 4: you're in my kids, but our grandkids and their grandkids. 493 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 4: Those are victories of an historic level. And that's why 494 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 4: I say we keep We've won victories we've never seen 495 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 4: at this level. 496 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: In communities around the world, millions of children like Lucy 497 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: faced the crushing weight of poverty, hunger, illness, and a 498 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: lack of opportunity dim their bright futures. But through Compassion 499 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: International and local churches, everything is changing. Lucy receives nourishing food, 500 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: vital medical care, and the chance to go to school. 501 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: She learns life skills, develops God given talents, and builds 502 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: a loving relationship with Jesus.

As we're doing our year review, I 510 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: love getting to say this one. 511 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 2: We had a big win on the issue of space. 512 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: We're not talking about you finding aliens or anything, but 513 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: we do have an update on space that's near ended 514 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: of your heart. With NASA in Houston, of course, talk 515 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: about the big victory there. 516 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 4: Well, in the Working Families Tax cut, we invested ten 517 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 4: billion dollars in NASA and commercial space, and in particular 518 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 4: in going back to the Moon. And again because that 519 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 4: falls within the jurisdiction of the Commerce Committee, I wrote 520 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 4: this provision. And we are in a race to go 521 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 4: back to the Moon. We're in a race with China. 522 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 4: China has said publicly they are going to go to 523 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 4: the Moon by twenty thirty and they're trying to. 524 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 3: Get back there. 525 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 4: And it's also a race not just to get there, 526 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 4: but to also to build sustained human habitation on the 527 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 4: surface of the Moon, to begin mining on the surface 528 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 4: of the Moon. That's the next challenge that we're moving towards. 529 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 4: China is moving full speed ahead, and we did major 530 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 4: investments to say America is going to beat China back 531 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 4: to the Moon. We are going to have sustained human 532 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 4: habitation on the lunar surface or in CIST lunar orbit. 533 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 4: And that investment, it is in the bill. It is 534 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 4: critically important and the objective for us to land on 535 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 4: the Moon by twenty twenty eight, two years before China. 536 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 4: With President Trump still in the Oval Office, and that 537 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 4: investment will make it. And I'll tell you this is 538 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 4: a point I made if we lose. 539 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 3: If we were to. 540 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 4: Lose the race to the Moon, I think the impact 541 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 4: of seeing the Chinese on the Moon before we could 542 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 4: get there, I think it would be a bigger blow 543 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 4: to the country than Sputnik was. Sputnik when the Russians 544 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 4: launched the first satellite, Sputnik around the Earth, it was 545 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 4: a massive blow. It started the space race, and I 546 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 4: think losing the Moon to China would be orders of 547 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 4: magnitude worse. That investment is in there. It matters, and 548 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 4: it matters also enormously. They're over fifty thousand high paying 549 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 4: jobs in Texas that are directly connected to space, so 550 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 4: it's big for jobs, jobs in the economy. 551 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: Way selfishly, I just think it would be so cool 552 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: for kids' minds to be blown to see NHD people 553 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: talking on the Moon. Just the wonder and the and 554 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: the inspiration that would come from that for an entire generation, 555 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, with everything that's yesh and technology driven, like 556 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: just to have a moment of pause where we're like, 557 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: we went to the Moon and you can see an HD. 558 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: I can't imagine what that does for kids that are dreamers, 559 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: for their futures and their education as well. 560 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 4: Look, I spend a lot of time at at at 561 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 4: Johnson Space Center. I spent a lot of time with NASA, 562 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 4: and like the inspiration that astronauts provide. Now do you 563 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 4: know the connection that Rice University has to us going 564 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 4: to the moon. 565 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 3: The first time? 566 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 4: No? 567 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: I do not. 568 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 4: So it was at Rice University at the at the 569 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 4: Rice Stadium. You've been to that that football stadium? Uh, 570 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 4: that that JFK gave the speech where he committed we 571 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 4: will go to the moon within a decade. 572 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: And and and in fact what he said, he said, Uh, why. 573 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 4: Does Rice play the University of Texas. They do so 574 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 4: not because it is easy, but because it is hard. 575 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 4: And that was that was his explanation for why are 576 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 4: we going to the moon. We're going to the moon 577 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 4: for the same reason Rice plays ut not because it easy, 578 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 4: because it's it's hard and it inspires millions of kids. 579 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 4: We're going to do that again. But it's also critical. 580 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 4: Listen there there there are major economic benefits. I've predicted 581 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 4: for a long time the first trillionaire is going to 582 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 4: be made in space. That may well, be elon Musk, 583 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 4: He's already halfway there. 584 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 3: I think. I think the. 585 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 4: Mining that we're going to see on the Moon and 586 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 4: ultimately on Mars is going to generate enormous economic activity. 587 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 4: And it also matters from national security and and and 588 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 4: and from a military perspective. Controlling what is quite literally 589 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 4: the high ground is really important for keeping America safe. 590 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: Cafe standards. I want to make sure we get this 591 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: in there before the end of the show. Let's talk 592 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: about that victory as well. 593 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 4: Another provision I wrote in the bill, we zeroed out 594 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 4: cafe standards. Now, what are the cafe standards? 595 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: There? 596 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 4: The rules bid the administration put in place to drive 597 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 4: up the cost of your car and drive up the 598 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 4: cost of your truck. And what they did is they 599 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 4: jacked up the mileage it had to get to what 600 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,719 Speaker 4: were unsustainable levels. And they were doing that because they 601 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 4: wanted to ban the internal combustion engine. They wanted to 602 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 4: make it impossible for you to buy a gasoline car. 603 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 4: They wanted to force you to buy an electric vehicle. 604 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: Now, Alouise, let's be clear, it also put you and 605 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: your family at risk. Yeah, because of having to be 606 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: forced to make the cars lighter. They had to get 607 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: rid of the steel in cars that made them so safe, 608 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: like tanks. And that's the reason why everything's now in 609 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: plastic and the bumpers and you've had a small wreck, 610 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: you see how things just shatter, it's because they're trying 611 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: to meet those standards. 612 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 613 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 4: Look, my first car was a nineteen seventy eight Ford Fairmont. 614 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 4: It was my grandfather's car that he gave it to me. 615 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 3: It was we called it the green Bomb. 616 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: When you were younger, I knew it. That was confirmation, right, 617 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 2: are you kidding? 618 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 4: That was the coolest car. We called it the green Bomb, 619 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 4: and it was a tank. And if you got a 620 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 4: sixteen year old old boy, all sixteen year old boys 621 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 4: are idiots. And for the teenagers listening, I apologize, but 622 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: I was there. I was an idiot, And I promise 623 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 4: you when you get older, you understand it's just. 624 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 3: Part of life growing up. 625 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 4: And like putting your kids in a car that is 626 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 4: big enough that if they hit something like an idiot, 627 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 4: that they're not going to be badly hurt or killed, 628 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 4: that matters. 629 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 3: We zeroed it out. 630 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 4: The effect of that is going to be to lower 631 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 4: the cost of you getting a car or a truck 632 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 4: lowered it by thousands of dollars. That's another victory that 633 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 4: is in the bill. And it also is going to 634 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 4: save life, just as you said, because you'll be able 635 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 4: to make cars that are safer with more steel and 636 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 4: less plastic. 637 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is incredible. 638 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: Finally, one last thing I do want to hit, and 639 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: it's important one to end the show. 640 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 2: Take It Down Act. 641 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: Something that you worked so hard on became reality as 642 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: well this year and it keeps kids safe. 643 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great victory. 644 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 4: Look that there is a growing problem with what what's 645 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 4: called non consensual intimate imagery, and we're talking both real 646 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 4: world so called revenge porn where you have boyfriend or girlfriend, 647 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 4: they have an intimate relationship, they take explicit pictures or 648 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 4: videos of each other, and then they have a breakup 649 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 4: and they get one of them is ticked off and decides, 650 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 4: all right, I'm gonna stick it to you and I'm 651 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 4: going to release this to the world. And it is 652 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 4: a grotesque violation of privacy. Nobody has a right to 653 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 4: do that to somebody else. There is secondly, a more 654 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 4: recent aspect of that, which is deep fakes, and people 655 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 4: are using AI to create deep fakes where they take 656 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 4: pictures of real people and they use AI to make 657 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 4: it appear that they're naked or inexplicit and sexual situations. 658 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 4: More than ninety five percent of the victims of this 659 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 4: are women or teenage girls. And so I drafted a 660 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 4: bill that's called the Take It Down Act. That number 661 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 4: one makes it a crime, makes it a felony to 662 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 4: post non consensual intimate imagery, either real pictures or fake pictures. 663 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 4: And secondly, it gives you the right, if God forbid, 664 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 4: you're the victim of this, any tech platform that is 665 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 4: displaying that content, you have a federal statutory right to 666 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 4: demand they take it down, and they have to take 667 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 4: it down immediately. And we passed that through the Senate. 668 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 4: We passed that through the House. The First Lady, Milania Trump, 669 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 4: was a big champion.
