12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: We're going to start tonight with two accountability stories that

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: we've been chronicling on this network and add justin News

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: for over a year. The first involves the agency that

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: serves our veterans, the Veterans Affairs Department. Remember last year

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 1: when Joe Biden ran to Congress saying we're accidentally out

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: of money. We need billions of emergency appropriations or we

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: won't be able to serve our veterans, and Congress of

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: course poning up the money. Today, the Inspector General, the

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: chief watchdog of the VA said, well, that crisis was

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: pretty manufactured. First off, bad bungling accounting for years left

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: the agency unable to know really how much money it

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: had left. And then in some of the money they

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: got from Congress, it turns out, according to the Inspector General,

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: the agency probably didn't need the money. They didn't know

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: they had it. They just weren't looking in the right places.

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: They didn't know where taxpayers money were for the most

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: important people we serve in this country are veterans. That

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: is just one story, and we're very lucky in the

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: second to be joined by the man who's already on

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: top of fixing this. The brand new Secretary of the VA, Collins,

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: will be with us in just a second. In this

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: second big story, you remember Congressman Glenn Growthman and other

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: members of Congress coming on and saying tens of thousands

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: of children who came across the border without their parents

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: are called unaccompanied minors, the most vulnerable children that could

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: possibly be in the hands of strangers in America. Tens

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: of thousands that were lost track of by the United

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: States government under the Biden administration during the border crisis.

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Democrats said, oh, that's a conspiracy theory, it's not true.

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Well today, I guess what all men Security Secretary Inspector General,

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: that agency's independent watchdog, said, Oh, no, it's definitely true.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Tens of thousands of children were let into this country

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: by the Biden administration, put into the hands of people

45
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: we don't know and can't track. In fact, about thirty

46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: nine thousand of the records for these children didn't even

47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: have an address of who they were left with. We

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: couldn't find them because the government didn't even write down

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: the address where they left these vulnerable children. And in

50
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: very plain English, the Inspector General the VA said, there

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: is no guarantee the government. There was no ability of

52
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: the government to protect these children from sex traffickers, drug traffickers,

53
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: or other heinous individuals because they simply didn't know where

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: they were. Those are two stories we've been tracking for you.

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: We're going to get to more with my amazing gost

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Amanda Head. I'm glad we covered those stories, and I'm

57
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: glad finally the truth is in front of the American people.

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: It's terrible stuff.

59
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And along that same route, I want to talk

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: a little bit about the FBI announcing that they have

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: in custody an alleged top MS thirteen gang member, and

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: they found him right in your neck of the Witch

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: John in Virginia. As you were telling me earlier before

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: the show's neighbor, I know it all right. So according

65
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: to the Associated Press, the twenty four year old suspect

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: was identified as Henry Santos and he was living here illegally,

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: just half an hour away from our nation's capital. An

68
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: Attorney General Pamboni said this about the operation. Thanks to

69
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: the FBI, we got one of the worst of the

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: worst of the MS thirteen off the streets this morning, Virginia,

71
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: and the country is a lot safer today, safer indeed.

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: And this news comes after a federal appeals court made

73
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: a massive ruling involving another dangerous gang Trendy Ragua, and

74
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: that court yesterday ruled to keep the order blocking those

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: deportation flights in place. So I want to finish with

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 2: the media because we've been talking a lot about them

77
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: this week, and this time let's focus on CNN. Veterans

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: Affairs Secretary Doug Collins was on the CNN's Kaitlin Collins

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: last night, and it was clear Collins didn't want to

80
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: speak about the.

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: VA at all.

82
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: Take a look to have this conversation, to out a reporter,

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: and to have it on an unsupported classified group setting.

84
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: Kayle, I've just told you. I've just answered the question.

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 5: I wasn't part of it, and you know I'm not

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 5: going to speculate more than what the President's already talked

87
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 5: about and those have been involved and talked about.

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: But would love to talk about the veterans.

89
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: Is this typical for the cabinet to have conversations over signal?

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 6: Is this something that you use?

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 5: All right, well, Kaitlyn, send you and Dally. Do I

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: want to talk about the VA? I have a question

93
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 5: as via secretary is cabinet. I want to ask you

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: because I've been co curious about this because my job

95
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 5: is to take care of veterans and I would like

96
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 5: to know why CNN is hostile to veterans, especially one

97
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: in Florida where you just had a five million dollar

98
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 5: defamation suit taking a fence at a veteran who is

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 5: trying to help people. If at one of your employees

100
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: actually said we're going to nail him, I have a

101
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 5: question for you, Kaitlin, is that employees stilling in Pollod,

102
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: are you really concerned about veterans?

103
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: I should clarify with two Collins on the screen there,

104
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: the Secretary, Doug Collins did want to talk about the VA.

105
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: It is very clear that Kaitlyn Collins very much did not.

106
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: But John, I think that our next guest is going

107
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: to have something to say about that exchange.

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: I wonder it could be day by day. My former

109
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: colleagues in the traditional media are writing the oh bit

110
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: of their profession and that was just a great example.

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Secretary for standing up for veterans and

112
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: the reason he should have been on the show. And

113
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: we're lucky to be joined by that very man right now,

114
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: the Veteran Fair Secretary, Doug Coms. Miss the Secretary, welcome

115
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: back to the show. Good to see him.

116
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: It's always good to be with you guys.

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: It's always good to watch you on TV, even when

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: you're not on our show. I just love watching on TV.

119
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: That was a really extraordinary moment and it's a shame

120
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: for journalism, but you did the veterans proud in this country.

121
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: So I want to start with this audit we mentioned.

122
00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 7: At the top.

123
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: You knew this was coming. You've been on top of it.

124
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: You talked about it brilliantly during your confirmation hearing. But

125
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: VA had a hard time for a long time counting

126
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: for just basic dollars.

127
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 6: Right.

128
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: They have, and y'all have been such a good to

129
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 5: be on top of this and following it. Look, this

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: was frankly came down to more or less a political

131
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 5: I would just almost call it an extortion toward the

132
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 5: end last year because it came out between the time

133
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 5: of the hearings and the appropriation process and the end

134
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: of the year, you know, run up to a shutdown,

135
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: and so they just basically had no real accountability for

136
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 5: what they're doing. The money, they wasn't sure where to

137
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 5: get it, and so all of a sudden they just

138
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 5: started asking for money in bass amounts. And the IG

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 5: report simply confirms what most of us knew was that

140
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 5: they shouldn't have ever been asking for it. There was

141
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 5: an overreach and what they were doing, But it showed

142
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: something deeper. John this way, I want to talk about

143
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 5: that I've been dealing with for about six weeks now.

144
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 5: It's just a very department that is so bureaucratically bogged

145
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 5: down that it has trouble doing its main mission, and

146
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 5: that is taking care of veterans. And that's why we're

147
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: actually working very hard to streamline processes, to get better

148
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 5: help in place, and to have budgets and numbers that

149
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: we can be accurate. I promised the Senate when I

150
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 5: was confirmed that I would never send a witness to

151
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 5: the heel that did.

152
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: Not have proper answers. In fact, I lived up to

153
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: my ward.

154
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: Just a few weeks ago, we had a hearing that

155
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 5: was going to happen and I couldn't give the answers

156
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 5: that we needed to give to the believe this to

157
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 5: the House in that time, and so we pulled back

158
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: the hearing until I could get that answer to them.

159
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 5: I keep my word, and folks, I'm keeping my word

160
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 5: to the veterans.

161
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: We're going to spend.

162
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 5: Your money wisely, and we're going to do it on

163
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: veterans getting the health care they need and the benefits

164
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 5: they've earned well.

165
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: And so when the ledger doesn't equalize, someone suffers, either

166
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: the taxpayers because there's a bunch of waste, or in

167
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: this case, the veterans of our country because they're not

168
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: getting the care that they deserve.

169
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 6: I would love to think that.

170
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: This was not intentional, but then that leaves the door

171
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: open for incompetence. Wasn't malfeasance, wasn't incompetence, which.

172
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: Both I would like to just answer.

173
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 5: You know, we're looking at them, but yes, I mean,

174
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 5: I think this is the problem one of the issues

175
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: we've had here, and I think it's a lot of

176
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: agencies in the government. And when Donald Trump was elected

177
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 5: to make change in Washington, DC and that generational kind

178
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 5: of change to downsize and to right size and focus

179
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 5: our government and make it more efficient. One of those

180
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: areas is that sometimes we forget up here that the

181
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 5: money we spend is not our own and the actuality,

182
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 5: the sad part about it is out of every employee

183
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: of the VA or any government agency, part of their

184
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 5: own money goes into the pot to pay.

185
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: Them, and that's side of their taxes.

186
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 5: And we got to go back to remembering that it's

187
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 5: not just an endless supply and we've got to be

188
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 5: good stewards of it. And you know, the incompetence or

189
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 5: just lack of negligence is something we're looking at. I'm

190
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: holding everyone at the VA accountable. On my desk now,

191
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: I'm turning back letters and orders and memorandum. If someone

192
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 5: is not if there's an issue, then we need to

193
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 5: take care of someone is going to at least be

194
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: counsel or at least be you know, asked to say, hey,

195
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 5: let's do this better next time. Let's learn and not

196
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: just keep doing it, because I believe accountability is so important.

197
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what the American people. If be making misake,

198
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: admit it, fix it, move on. And that's what that

199
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: helps American people. And I know that's what you're committed to.

200
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: You took on a couple members of Congress defending the

201
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: VA's honor when false finger said you had something to

202
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: say about Senator Tim Kaine and Congressman Scott Over what

203
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: you said, Eliza with the CHESAPEAKEA Clinic staffing, tell us

204
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: a little bit about what you found in what the

205
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: lawmakers falsely said.

206
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: Well, while they were all last week, I guess they

207
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: were decided to get bored and go down to our

208
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 5: not opened yet clinic which will open. We're doing a

209
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: ribbon cutting next month, which I'll be a part of.

210
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: Is opening on the seventeenth. And look, they're so blinded

211
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 5: by the dislike of Donald Trump and the majority of

212
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: actually getting stuff done up here that they went to

213
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 5: the clinic and they went in, they came out, did

214
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 5: a political hit job, basically only what they thought was

215
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 5: going to be. They get away with it to the VA,

216
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 5: saying that we were opening a clinic understaff. And then

217
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: they tried to well, we said there's gonna be one

218
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty employees. Well guess what, John, that's exactly

219
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: how many were supposed to be at the opening. It's

220
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: opened in phases. By January twenty sixth, it'll have over

221
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 5: five hundred employees. They made it seem like by opening

222
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 5: in phases, we were shorthanding the clinic and shorthanding the veterans.

223
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: That happened.

224
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 5: That is a lie, and I call it a lie.

225
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: They got offended by it. I don't care start telling

226
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: the truth. Because there's one thing that happened. When Donald

227
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 5: Trump appointed me to be the and pick me and

228
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 5: I was confirmed by the Senate to be the VA,

229
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: there are two things you do not do. You do

230
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 5: not scare my veterans and you do not scare my employees.

231
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 5: They did both. They got what was coming. And look,

232
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 5: if they want to continue to lie or say, well,

233
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: they actually said the Secretary.

234
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: Confirmed what we said one hundred and fifty.

235
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. But you know what also confirmed confirmed that you

236
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 5: were not being truthful with the American people when you

237
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 5: told them tell them that this is the way clinics

238
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 5: open in phases, John Man, I'm just not going to

239
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 5: play that game anymore. The quiping post at the VA

240
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 5: is closed. It's time to actually put solutions in you

241
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: that get on board. Are you like the way it is?

242
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: You explain to the American people that you want to

243
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 5: keep the VA the way it is when it's been

244
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 5: on the GAO High risk list for ten years, it's.

245
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: Important to remind people you're not only protecting the veterans,

246
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: you are one yourself. You serve this country with great distinctions.

247
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 7: I want to remind the audience.

248
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: Of that absolutely, and thank you for that, sir. And

249
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up the Government Accountability Offices list because,

250
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: as you highlighted in the past, the VA has been

251
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: one of the most poorly run agencies, and it's, in

252
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: my opinion, it's one of the most high stakes because

253
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: it has to take care of our veterans. We saw

254
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: a lot of reform under President Trump's first term. We

255
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: saw weaight times reduced weight lists shrink and there was

256
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: a lot of good things that happened under that first term.

257
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: What can happen under the second term? Picking up on

258
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: the progress of the first I think.

259
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: It's going to get a lot, it's going to get better.

260
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 5: I mean that's what we're going to I'm working every

261
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 5: day for.

262
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: Going at it.

263
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 5: Look, we're going to go back to the Mission Act Statement,

264
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: which actually allowed and expanded the VA mission not just

265
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 5: within the walls of our facilities and clinics, but also

266
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 5: into community care, letting the get the care that they

267
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 5: need in the way that they want to get it.

268
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 5: Donald Trump was very much his president wanted to make

269
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: sure the veteran could get the care that they needed

270
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 5: in the very way that they want it, but also

271
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 5: combined with the VA that is there to help them

272
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 5: if they need it.

273
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: So it says a choice and as we.

274
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 5: Look at this, that gives the veteran the access to

275
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 5: better health. And we're going to talk about preventive health

276
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 5: coming forward. We're going to talk about benefits, but the

277
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 5: big thing that we're going to look at is we're

278
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 5: going to look at a system that seemed to be

279
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: feeding on itself more than it actually was giving to

280
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 5: the veteran And so when we look at the GO report,

281
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 5: it says we're on the high risk list. That's been

282
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 5: ten years. The previous administration put tens of billions of

283
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 5: dollars and tens of thousands of employees into the system.

284
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 5: But as you just talked about wait times in backlogs,

285
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 5: they either stayed the same or got worse, especially in

286
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 5: the backlock when you did all that, I just asked

287
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 5: a simple question. If throwing money in employees is the answer,

288
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 5: then why didn't it work? Why didn't it works? It

289
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 5: was just that it was just throwing money and people

290
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 5: at a problem instead of exactually examining how we best

291
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 5: can do our job.

292
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a common sense idea. Just get the job done, sir,

293
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: real quick. We don't go about twenty seconds left to

294
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: bat with the comptroller adrenal. There's a good chance, with

295
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: the work you're doing, you might be able to get

296
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: the V out the list before you're ten years up right.

297
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: I hope.

298
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 8: So.

299
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: Hey, look, my promise is is do what Donald Trump

300
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 5: told me to do as take care of matches.

301
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: We're going to do that every way we can.

302
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they know that, and they saw that

303
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: first stand at the White House with the great ceremony

304
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: added with the President recently, sir, great honor to have

305
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: you on. Thanks, I know how busy are. What a

306
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: great honor to have you out and get a great

307
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: update from you. Thanks so much.

308
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 4: It's always going to be with y'all. Take care.

309
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, same here, Thank you so much.

310
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 7: What a great interview.

311
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: All right, folks, coming up, we got the chance to

312
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: sit down with Congresswoman Mary Miller today, who was at

313
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,440

Speaker 2: Welcome back to justin News, No noise, Everybody. One of

344
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: the main issues that President Trump drew voters to the

345
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: polls on was protecting women.

346
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 6: Yes, the left doesn't like.

347
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: To admit it, but central to the President's campaign was

348
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: getting biological men out of women's spaces like women's sports

349
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: and women's restrooms and locker rooms. It's crazy that we

350
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: even have to say that in twenty twenty five. But

351
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: here we are and joining us now is one of

352
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: the members of Congress who shares President Trump's vision on that,

353
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: Congresswoman Mary Miller from Illinois. Congress Woman, thank you so

354
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: much for being here.

355
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 6: Well, you're welcome, Thank you for having me.

356
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely. President Trump had a lot of high praise for

357
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: you and your efforts yesterday in the Oval Office for

358
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: the Women's History Month event.

359
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 8: Tell us about it. Well, he made gracious comments, but

360
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 8: he's the one that should actually be commended for hosting

361
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 8: the event and for highlighting the importance that women have

362
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 8: played in our country and today in our society. And

363
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 8: He's one thing I love about President Trump is he's authentic.

364
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 8: He has not remade himself to run for office. If

365
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 8: you look at President Trump's record, he's always recognized the

366
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 8: accomplishments and abilities of women, and he's used him in

367
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 8: his organization and in hiring and in his real estate business.

368
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 8: And so yesterday he was recognizing us and it was great.

369
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 8: After four years of Biden and his people trying to

370
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 8: erase women.

371
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, and there were so many powerful women

372
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: in the room. It's a reminder of how much the

373
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: Republican Party has expanded to all these great leaders and

374
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: great women across the cabinet, across the And one of

375
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: the missions I had is taking President Trump's executive orders

376
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: and codifying them into law. I know you're doing an

377
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: important part of that with the Keep Our Girls Safe Act.

378
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about that and how that

379
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: takes the President's EO and makes it a permanent law.

380
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 9: Right.

381
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 8: Well, it's very important to me because I believe the

382
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 8: first role of the government is to protect the people,

383
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 8: which is what President Trump's doing. On day one, he

384
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 8: made executive orders and started to secure a border and

385
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 8: deport illegal criminals, but also to protect our girls in

386
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 8: their private spaces. So I want to make sure President

387
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 8: Trump's executive orders are codified into law. Yesterday I introduced

388
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 8: Defining Male and Female Act, which is obviously going to

389
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 8: be based on science and biology. And today we introduce

390
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 8: the Keeping Our Girls Safe Act, which will make schools

391
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 8: comply with the executive orders that boys and men are

392
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 8: not allowed in their safe and private spaces, or they're

393
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 8: going to lose private or they're going to lose their

394
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 8: federal funding.

395
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: Well, and you take that one step further if they

396
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: use their federal funding. I'm sure the argument is while

397
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: we can get private grants, we can get donations from

398
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: private citizens. But this is one of those eighty twenty

399
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: ninety ten issues.

400
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 6: So I just don't know how big.

401
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: The coffers are from the private sector to fund schools

402
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: like this. So it kind of seems like they're stuck

403
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: between Irock and a hard place.

404
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, from the Democrats standpoint, they're doubling down

405
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 8: on this issue, and which is fine with me.

406
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 10: I want them to lose.

407
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 8: But it's the American people are fully opposed to males

408
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 8: being in girls athletics, ruining girls athletics by the way,

409
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 8: and being in their private spaces. And we had an

410
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 8: incident in Illinois recently in Deerfield School where some seventh

411
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 8: grade girls did not want to change in front of

412
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 8: a boy that particularly that day he decided to identify

413
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 8: as a girl, and they went to go get help,

414
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 8: and instead the administration and the teachers force the girls

415
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 8: back into the locker room to undress in front of

416
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 8: the boy, which I really praise a family. There's been

417
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 8: a lot of complaints out of that district, but that

418
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 8: family went public, they went to the media, they went

419
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 8: to the DOJ, and they filed lawsuit. And I say, great,

420
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 8: we need more of that in this country.

421
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, parents fighting back and protecting their children. It's such

422
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 7: an important dynamic.

423
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: There is a lot of work for Congress to do

424
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 1: in codifying other parts of the President's agenda, getting the

425
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: tax cuts renewed, getting spending down. Give us a sense

426
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: of what things look like behind the scenes in Congress,

427
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of hard work going on, a lot

428
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: of people working extra hours. Will that big, big, big,

429
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill the President Trump talk about, will it

430
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: hit the market?

431
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 7: Think?

432
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it will because we have strong leadership

433
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 8: and President Trump has the American people behind him.

434
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 6: I mean, what a.

435
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 8: Heroic win in November when our country stood at a crossroads.

436
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 8: Are we going to be free people? Are we going

437
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 8: to have an economy that works for the people? And

438
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 8: the American people gave him a mandate and he is

439
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 8: going on strong, fulfilling his campaign promises, and Congress is

440
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 8: going to get behind him.

441
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 2: I believe well, and something that a lot of election

442
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: hawks have been paying attention to in the last few days.

443
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: President Trump his order on making sure you have to

444
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: show citizenship to vote in federal elections. How can Congress

445
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: make sure that that is not only the law of

446
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: the land, but that it is followed. And if it

447
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 2: is not followed, what are the repercussions.

448
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 8: Well, we need to pass the Voter I D Law

449
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 8: and codify what President Trump has proposed into law. And

450
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 8: I'm on the ADMIN Committee this year, and I want

451
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 8: to work with Admin to make sure that we have

452
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 8: secure elections. And I think President Trump won all the

453
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 8: swing states, but I keep telling him, don't rule out

454
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 8: states like Illinois. You did great in Illinois considering but

455
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 8: if we have voter ID law, and even if we

456
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 8: have some great lawsuits forcing states to in different areas

457
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 8: to clean up their voter roles, I think that will

458
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 8: help our country immensely.

459
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt about it.

460
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: And that's another one that a man that was talking

461
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: seventy eighty percent issue people really believe. This is just

462
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: a common sense things to do. I've been looking at

463
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: the polling data a lot in Illinois, and it is

464
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: a state that feels like, after maybe a twenty year

465
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: run of really deep blue politics seems to be coming

466
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: back to it's more centrist and Republican roots. Yes, is

467
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: there a moment? Is twenty six twenty eight a year

468
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: where we maybe get a surprise in Illinois?

469
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 8: I think the issue in Illinois is that registered Republicans

470
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 8: have not come out to vote.

471
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 6: And there were.

472
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 8: Millions of registered Republicans that didn't vote in November, which

473
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 8: is hard for me to believe. I think that they

474
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 8: think their vote doesn't count because Illinois has a reputation

475
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 8: for corruption.

476
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 10: So you know, I really believe.

477
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 8: You know, passing voter ID law and proof of citizenship

478
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 8: will help states like Illinois. But people need to exercise

479
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 8: their responsibility as US citizens and.

480
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 6: Go out and vote.

481
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 8: In Illinois, I think we had over two million registered

482
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 8: Republicans that didn't vote. But I've been told too, if

483
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 8: just gun owners would come out and vote, you have

484
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 8: to think that they would be Republicans supporting our Second

485
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 8: Amendment rights. If just they would come out and vote,

486
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 8: we could flip Illinois red. I feel hopeful.

487
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's amazing.

488
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 2: I mean, in a cautionary story, in the last few days,

489
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: a state House seat in Pennsylvania flipped from Republican a

490
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 2: Democrat because they had I think twenty one percent Republican turnout.

491
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: So that's that's definitely got to be remedied. I want

492
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: to ask you, speaking of remedies, about the next budget battle.

493
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: I know that sometimes it is the status quo, and

494
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: it's the means of operating where you wait until a

495
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: few minutes before to make sure you got all those

496
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: appropriations packages all set. I imagine you guys are already

497
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: working on it ahead of time.

498
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 8: This time we are, and I'm more associated with the

499
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 8: conservative segment of the Republican Congress. And the thing that

500
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 8: I want to say is, Americans, please reach out to

501
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 8: your representatives and tell them that they have to support

502
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 8: getting spending under control. I do believe Americans as a

503
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 8: whole don't understand the gravity of the situation that we're

504
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 8: in in light of our national debt. It is unsustainable

505
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 8: to national security issue, and I believe we're at thirty

506
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 8: four thirty five trillion right now, but just servicing that

507
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 8: could cost another one hundred trillion in the next ten years,

508
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 8: which would be our entire gross domestic product. It's completely

509
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 8: we can't you know, we cannot continue it. And for

510
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 8: the Democrats to be trashing on Musk for discovering the

511
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 8: waste frunt abuse that's been going on as unbelievable. And

512
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 8: you know, everybody's always hated tax Day. It's coming up

513
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 8: in a few you know, April fifteenth, but we could

514
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 8: never have hated it more than this year after finding

515
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 8: out how truly abused American taxpayers have been.

516
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the anecdotes and they come out by the hour

517
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: are just so jaw dropping, even stuff we saw yesterday

518
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: at the hearing with taxpayer funded journalism and people say,

519
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: by wait a sec.

520
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: We've been paying for that.

521
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, I got stop kis I want to ask

522
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: one question about something that effects Illinois, the city of Chicago,

523
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: particularly sanctuary city sanctuary state laws. Tom Holman a big

524
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: win this morning with the FBI picking up that one

525
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: of the largest gang members leaders in America. Is there

526
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: a will in Congress to codify and make sure that

527
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: federal funds are tied to punish cities said don't cooperate

528
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: law enforcement getting dangerous illegal aliens off of our soil?

529
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 10: Yes?

530
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And you know I represent Illinois, but I don't

531
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 8: want Illinois to get any federal funding if they're going

532
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 8: to harbor illegal immigrants.

533
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 6: And you know, I'm encouraging.

534
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 8: The sheriffs in Illinois and in my district to ignore

535
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 8: Pritzker and to cooperate with Ice and Tom Holman. And

536
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 8: when I'm traveling my district, I think Tom Holman is

537
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 8: my constituent's favorite person that President Trump has nominated. So

538
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 8: he's doing a great job. And there again, the first

539
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 8: role of the government is to protect the people. And

540
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 8: I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. Three

541
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 8: there are three issues that cross party lines, and that

542
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 8: safety and security, which that would be controlling the border

543
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 8: and getting rid of the illegals. Quality education, you know

544
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 8: we want that, return it to local control and let

545
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 8: parents control it. And economic opportunity. So President Trump's a

546
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 8: great leader on all three of those.

547
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

548
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: Congresswan Mary Miller from the great state of Illinois, you

549
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: do such good work up on Capitol Hill. Thank you

550
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: so much for being here and talking with us about

551
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: all these issues. All right, everybody, next up, John and

552
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: I sat down with Congress and Eric Burlson yesterday right

553
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: after that Doge hearing with NPR and PBS wrapped up

554
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: and he brought the heat. So we're going to have

555
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: that after this breaking.

556
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody. As a man who said yesterday we

557
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: had a chance to speak to Congressman and DOGE sub

558
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: committee member Eric Burlson and Missouri yesterday. He had one

559
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: of the great epic questions during that npr PPS hearing.

560
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: People still talking about it today.

561
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 7: Take a listen to what we had to say.

562
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: All right, folks, joining us now, one of the members

563
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: of Congress on the front lines of that historic hearing

564
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: where public funded media had to admit maybe they're more

565
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: important priorities in America, joining us from the great state

566
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: of Missouri. Congressman Eric berliston Congress is good to have

567
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: you back on.

568
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 6: Always great to be on.

569
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, And these hearings that went on, we

570
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: saw perhaps one of the best cases made that we

571
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: have to start making hard choices. You made this point,

572
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: I think in your question better than anyone, is the

573
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: era of public funded or taxpayer funded new sites perhaps

574
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: coming to an end?

575
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

576
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 11: I think that, you know, we often you know, chied

577
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 11: other countries when they have state sponsored news outlets, and

578
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 11: yet we have been doing it in the United States,

579
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 11: And you know, the question is is this an arcane

580
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 11: meet media?

581
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 6: Like why do we even need it anymore?

582
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 11: There was a time when there was just you know, NBC, CBS,

583
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 11: and having a public station maybe made sense. There was

584
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 11: there was a time where there were a few radio

585
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 11: stations and so state sponsored you know content maybe made

586
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 11: sense at one point. But today there's so much access

587
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 11: to information and news and all these other things I

588
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 11: mentioned in the hearing. You know, at one point in

589
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 11: time in history, governments used to hire town criers before

590
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 11: people could read and had access to you know, books,

591
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 11: But we don't do that anymore. And so at some

592
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 11: point you got to ask the question, why are we

593
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 11: still funding this when when money is actually a scarce asset.

594
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there were a number of comments today that

595
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: raised red flags for me because the overarching theme kind

596
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: of seemed to be that the First Amendment was not

597
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: something that allows them the freedom.

598
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 10: To allow Americans to speak.

599
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: It was that the First Amendment was almost a blockade

600
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: for them.

601
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was some of the disturbing quotes that we've

602
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 11: had from some people that, you know, the individuals who

603
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 11: are running these programs or these departments, these entities they

604
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 11: really don't really have a lot of respect for the president.

605
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 11: They don't have respect a lot of respect for the truth. Really,

606
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 11: when you look back on all of the poor reporting

607
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 11: that occurred about whether it was COVID and the origins

608
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 11: of COVID or the Hunter Biden laptop, these they were

609
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 11: part of the machine to cover up and from, you know,

610
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 11: things for the left. And so I think the question is,

611
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 11: you know, when we when it comes to resources, we're

612
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 11: thirty seven trillion dollars in debt, why are we sending

613
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 11: money to PBS and NPR to fund you know, whether

614
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 11: it's a Sesame Street or whatever. At the end of

615
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 11: the day, we need that money to support veterans' healthcare,

616
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 11: We need that money to support sol security, We need

617
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 11: that money to support all of the things that are

618
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 11: the key priorities of the federal government.

619
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 6: And this is I think, you know, time has moved

620
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 6: on from this.

621
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: You did such a good job of getting them to

622
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: acquious that there were more important things in the budget

623
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: we needed to say before taxpayer funded journal I think

624
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: that was one of the more poignant moments. Is that

625
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: sentiment which you drew out even from these media executives

626
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: is that sentiment widespread enough at least in that House

627
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: and Senate Republican caucus to actually have a vote that

628
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: eliminates the funding. Do you think there's enough supporting Congress

629
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: for it?

630
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 11: So, given the thin majority, there's probably going to be

631
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 11: one or two Republicans who will side with the Democrats

632
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 11: to keep it in place if it.

633
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 6: Were to go to the floor as an amendment or

634
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 6: a bill.

635
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 11: But things are different with Donald Trump and with Elon Musk,

636
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 11: and so their their methodology of hutting first and then

637
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 11: and then telling Congress you know that it's been done.

638
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: Now you guys codify it.

639
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 11: That that gives a lot of political courage to members

640
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 11: of our side of the aisles. So I think Trump

641
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 11: is Trump demonstrates courage. That courage is contagious, and I

642
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 11: think that if it's going to be cut, this would

643
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 11: be the way to do it.

644
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: And true of the Freedom Caucus, Andy Harris and I

645
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: believe Chip Roy, the three of you have been having

646
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: some hard conversations about a big, beautiful bill with respect

647
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: to how much in debt we are and Medicaid reform. Obviously,

648
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: that doesn't.

649
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 6: Mean booting legal people.

650
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: People are supposed to be on it off. But there

651
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: is so much fraud and so much abuse and so

652
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: much waste within that program. What are those conversations like.

653
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's it's disturbing that we have I'm hearing quotes

654
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 11: from I mean, there's been some senators, even Republican senators,

655
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 11: that said they don't want to touch Medicaid. And look,

656
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 11: I mean, I get it politically, it seems like it's

657
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 11: it's sticky, but it's the responsible and.

658
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 6: The right thing to do. And we owe it to

659
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 6: the American people.

660
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 11: We owe it to to having these these programs actually

661
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 11: work for the people that truly need it.

662
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 6: We need to We need to figure.

663
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 11: Out how to cut out the waste, fraud, abuse within

664
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 11: Medicaid so that it's available for those people that truly

665
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 11: need it. To me, that's not that should be controversial.

666
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 11: And so that's the kind of pitch.

667
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 6: That we're making.

668
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 11: And at the end of the day, we've got to

669
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 11: figure out how to pay for these tax cuts. You know,

670
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 11: we don't want to add to the national debt and

671
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 11: continue to grow.

672
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 6: Our debt.

673
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 11: We've got to figure out a way to be a

674
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 11: loop if we want to have the big wins for

675
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 11: Donald Trump, we're.

676
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 6: Going to have to figure out. We may have to

677
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 6: do some of.

678
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 11: The difficult things, but those are the I think that

679
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 11: they're the right.

680
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: Thing to do. Yeah, and again that most Americans would

681
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: they've looked at that as soon to be thirty seven

682
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: trillion dollar IOU and they're like, we got trillion dollars.

683
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: I would say that's enough, We're done. The American public

684
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: are with Congress on this, They're with Dog, They're with

685
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Elon Musk, with Eric Burlison. How do you

686
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: get those members in your party or even some Democrats

687
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: in the moderate side, to realize that this is a

688
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: vote that they get a win with the American people,

689
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: even if they have their own fears.

690
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's what I trying to pitch. You know, Look,

691
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 11: at the end of the day, you can make that.

692
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 11: You can make that pitch that no one is going

693
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 11: to be who deserves to be on Medicaid or Social

694
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 11: Security or any of these programs. No one is going

695
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 11: to be or have any of their benefits cut. If anything,

696
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 11: we're getting rid of the fraudsters so that those programs

697
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 11: remain intact. That's a message. I think that's a winning message.

698
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 11: We just have to do the work of getting that

699
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 11: message out. And when you communicate that to people, I

700
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 11: think ninety nine percent of the population understands and agrees,

701
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 11: and so that's that's the It's going to be hard

702
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 11: because when you got the left wanting to you know,

703
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 11: lie and say that we want to cut disabled people

704
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 11: off of Medicaid or we want to cut you know,

705
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 11: Social Security for seniors, those are all lies. But unfortunately,

706
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 11: that's that's what we have to overcome, is some of

707
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 11: these the narrative of the left.

708
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: Congress IM going I want to ask you about the

709
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: signal scandal, as the left is calling it.

710
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 6: It actually kind of seems to me like a test.

711
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: It seems to me like a scalp test by mainstream

712
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: media to see if they can get the Trump administration

713
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: to basically to pull a scalp because of of Mike Waltz.

714
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 11: Your thoughts on that, Yeah, I mean, the media has

715
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 11: tried to try to pressure Trump before. I think that

716
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 11: this Trump, you know, this is he's fearless and so

717
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 11: I don't think that he's going to back down to

718
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 11: media pressure. And at the end of the day, look,

719
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 11: I think that they take credit it was a successful

720
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 11: operation that strike occurred. They are who these terrorists that

721
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 11: are dead. That's that's a win. You know, did they

722
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 11: make a mistake in having that communication thread, Yes, But

723
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 11: you know what's different about this is they're not trying

724
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 11: to cover it up. They're not using bleach bit to

725
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 11: try to you know, eliminate or get delete the data.

726
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 11: These individuals are have owned up to it, and they're

727
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 11: going to learn from it and move on. That's what's

728
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 11: different about Republicans in this administration than previous administrations.

729
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, own up, fix it, move on. That's what the

730
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: American people want. It's a much easier way to get

731
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: through things, and you'll see. I think it will die

732
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: down soon. It's also important SAISA, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Agency,

733
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: they actually recommended in December that all government officials moved

734
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: a signal. So it wasn't like they were using something

735
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: that they weren't being encouraged to use. It was already

736
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: being used in a warning to federal workers back in December,

737
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: which we got a hold of here. Congressman, It's always

738
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: an honor to have you on. You're always such a

739
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: clear communicator. You're on the front lines of some of

740
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: the most exciting things are going to happen to Washington

741
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: in a long time. Thank you for joining us sake.

742
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 6: Thank you anytime.

743
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, great to have you all right, folks are going

744
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: to take a crypt for must Bank when we come

745
00:35:49,760 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: back more right after these messages. Welcome back, folks. We

746
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: are so lucky to have a partnership with the Wellness

747
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: Company and it's extraordinary chief Scientific Officer Peter McCully. He

748
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: has had so much right about the last five years

749
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: and he continues to push this country to get to

750
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: the right spot on public health and we're lucky to

751
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: be joined by him again. Doctor, welcome back to the show.

752
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 7: Thank you.

753
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: So I want to talk about some new scientific research

754
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: that's been coming out. The more we learn about people

755
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: who took more and more COVID nineteen vaccines, the more

756
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: we realize the probably have harmed themselves, not helped themselves.

757
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: Tell us what the new SCIGNCE shows.

758
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 9: Never had we had a vaccine where you just keep

759
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 9: taking it over and over again. The genetic code for

760
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 9: the spike protein, and the great concern is the body

761
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 9: would get fatigued and just constantly getting these shots. And

762
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 9: indeed of paper by Perez and colleagues have shown that

763
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 9: the body essentially gets tired of seeing the spike protein

764
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 9: and it switches from useful IgG one and IgG two

765
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 9: classes of antibodies useless IgG four antibodies that actually.

766
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 6: Weaken the immune system.

767
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 9: And sure enough, people who took five shots they were

768
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 9: getting more recurrent COVID than people who took fewer shots.

769
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 9: So the vaccines, as they're in their iteration of the sixth, seventh,

770
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 9: and eighth boosters, it looks like they're counterproductive.

771
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: Such a shame to hear because people should be able

772
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: to trust their doctors. If there is someone who's watching

773
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 2: who has gotten three, four or five six, however mini

774
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: shots and they decide I'm done. Is there a way

775
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 2: for them to detox or should they just kind of

776
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: let their bodies reorganize and rehabilitate.

777
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 9: On his own important point, it doesn't look like the

778
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 9: body gets rid of the spike protein on its own.

779
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 9: You know, today in the office, I had a patient

780
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 9: who still had measurable spike protein according to the INCEL dxssay,

781
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 9: twenty two months after his booster. Wow, So listen, that's

782
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 9: a long time to have spike protein in the blood.

783
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 9: That patient has had a blood clot he's had heart damage.

784
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 9: It's clear the spike protein is dangerous to some, so

785
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 9: we recommend what's called base Spike protein detoxification. Wellness Company

786
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 9: has the lead product that's called the Ultimate Spike detox

787
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 9: Two capsules twice a day, can be advanced to four

788
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 9: twice to day. Make sure under doctor's observation. With the

789
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 9: caveats that you know there can be bleeding, particularly in

790
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 9: conjunction with blood donders, although we use the two together.

791
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 9: But patients need spike detoxification in my opinion, for at

792
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 9: least a year and then reassess.

793
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 7: Wow, that is a big deal.

794
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: For the first time in a very long time, we

795
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: have fresh blood atop the public health agencies in America.

796
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: Doctor j Batichara taking over being confirmed, what are some

797
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: of the first few steps that he and other lead

798
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: new leaders should take to get confidence back in the

799
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: public health system.

800
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 9: Well National Institutes of Health needs to check on conflict

801
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 9: of interest. People are greatly concerned researchers within the NIH

802
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 9: are getting royalties from vaccines that are produced, and so

803
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 9: it tends to work towards biasing research. People have said,

804
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 9: why were we fooled on the research on COVID vaccines. Well,

805
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 9: you know, the NIH was behind a lot of it,

806
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 9: and if people have a financial conflict of interests, they're

807
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 9: likely to, you know, to become in a sense unreliable

808
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 9: as independent researchers. So we need to check on conflict

809
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 9: of interests. We need the National Institutes of Health, and

810
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 9: it's been proposed to they kind of drop the COVID

811
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 9: research as we conclude the pandemic and probably focus on

812
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 9: spike protein disorders emerging after, you know, the pandemic in

813
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 9: conjunction with the vaccines.

814
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 2: And another one of those health agencies, the CDC has

815
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: a new nominee, Susan Manaraz. What are your thoughts on her.

816
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 9: Well, she's a PhD molecular biologist. I've had a chance

817
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 9: to interact with her.

818
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 6: She's quiet.

819
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 9: She's going to be much different than Wilenski or Cohen.

820
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 9: And you know, she's strongly endorsed by Trump and RFK

821
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 9: and and I think they're on the right track.

822
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 7: That's good news.

823
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: So I want to talk a little bit about the

824
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: three diseases that are getting the most headlines today, bird flu, measles,

825
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: and drug resistant tuberculosis. Can you give us your latest

826
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: update on where all three of those are trending well.

827
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 9: In terms of bird flu, we've had the emergence of

828
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 9: the D one point one variant. Still greatly concerned that

829
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 9: this could cause serious cases. All the farm workers now

830
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 9: can get a free kit that gives the proper nasal

831
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 9: spray and throat sprays as well as emergency treatment from

832
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 9: the wellness companies called the Prevent and Protect Program. Please

833
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 9: go on our website to GWC dot health get your

834
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 9: free kit. If you're a farmer, have to show your

835
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 9: poultry licenses and other information, but it's important you know,

836
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 9: protect the workers. In terms of measles, we've had more

837
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 9: cases and more states, and we're going to have probably

838
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 9: about an average year at measles cases. A high number

839
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 9: would be about twelve hundred cases in a year. I

840
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 9: believe we're just under four hundred right now. One confirmed

841
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 9: death that looks like she was under treated. This poor

842
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 9: girl didn't get proper treatment on day three when they

843
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 9: saw a doctor, should have gotten antibiotics, nebulizers. She could

844
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 9: have been saved. Remember, if people should not die of measles,

845
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 9: it's a mild illness. And then lastly, the drug resistant TV.

846
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 9: This is a concern. This is a concern largely of

847
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 9: homeless individuals and migrants.

848
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 6: They're TV testing.

849
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 9: We now have a blood test for it, or the

850
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 9: skin test and then early multi drug treatments.

851
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: Important, so important, sir. You have been such an innovator,

852
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: whether it's getting those free kits out to our farmers

853
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: on the front lines of our food supply chain, or

854
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: getting all of us better prepared so we don't wait

855
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: to crisis to hit us home, hit our homes. Tell

856
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: us a little bit about the Wellness Company. These great

857
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: medical kits, emergency medical kids, I get as ready before

858
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: crisis strikes.

859
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 9: You know the big base kit A lot of people

860
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 9: are to consider that has everything in it. That's the

861
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 9: ten kind of hardshell case. This is the array of

862
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 9: more Carrie friendly cases, the Aqua Blue Home Treatment Kit,

863
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 9: the Black Contagion Kit, the Red Emergency Kit, and then

864
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 9: the Forest Green travel Kit. But these are pre prescribed medications,

865
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 9: guidebook access to telemedicine. This allows people to handle problems

866
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 9: at home and avoid the emergency room or urging care.

867
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 9: Today I had a patient with the urn tract infection.

868
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 9: Good thing I saw her so I could treat her

869
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 9: but if she had a kit, she could have handled

870
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 9: it herself and snuffed out the infection at a much

871
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 9: earlier stage.

872
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 7: So important.

873
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: You returned medicine back to the patient doctor relationship, and

874
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: I've given us a chance. He really revolutionized telemarketing health

875
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: for all of us. We're so grateful for that, sir,

876
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,000

00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that after the commercial break.

893
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 3: To have this conversation to add a reporter that your

894
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 3: fingerprint is unique to you and only you.

895
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 6: That's so cool. That's the trick. No one in the

896
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 6: world has the exact same fingerprints.

897
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: You know what else was cool?

898
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 12: A baby gets their fingerprints even before they're born.

899
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 6: No way.

900
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 10: Isn't that amazing.

901
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 12: That's because God designs every part of us, from each

902
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 12: hair on our head or scales or scales, right down

903
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 12: to our one of the kind fingerprints.

904
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: Whoah, I love that so much. We have certainly saved

905
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: the best for last tonight because what you just watched

906
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 2: was from the new children's show Iggy and Mister Kirket,

907
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 2: premiered earlier today and joining us now to talk about it, actor, author,

908
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 2: and filmmaker Kirk Cameron Kirk, thanks so much for being here.

909
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 13: Always my pleasure, Always great to talk to you, guys.

910
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 2: I loved watching that clip. Iggy is so endearing tell

911
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: us about it.

912
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 13: So Iggy and Mister Kirk is a brand new children's

913
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 13: show contra the woke projects that are being stripped of

914
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 13: what's good and true and beautiful for kids. We're coming

915
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 13: back with the modern day Mister Rogers meets Sesame Street

916
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 13: and it's faith filled It Bible friendly, and it is

917
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 13: allowing children's imaginations to run wild and parents to be

918
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 13: able to trust that a show is actually good for them.

919
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 13: It's building their hearts and minds. It's imparting virtue, and

920
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 13: it's not overstimulating. It's actually developmentally positive for children's hearts

921
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 13: and their and their minds.

922
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, so important.

923
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: That's what parents and kids have been looking for a

924
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: long time, and you filled that gap. We were lucky

925
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: we grew up with Kermit the Frog and Big Bird,

926
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: but your kid a whole new generation, something friendly.

927
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 13: Well, you know what we're so excited about is that

928
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 13: we have the world's best puppeteer from Jim Henson's The Muppet.

929
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 13: So this is somebody who's operated Kermit and Elmo. He's

930
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 13: now got Iggy the iguana, end of another creature named Culture,

931
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 13: the Vulture, and Culture is always lying to Iggy and

932
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 13: deceiving him. And there's a bunch of other lovable puppets

933
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 13: as well. As we've got our own male man, Mailman Dan,

934
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 13: and that's Lee Allen Baker from Disney's Good Luck Charlie.

935
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,720
Speaker 13: You know, Disney is learning the hard lesson that trust

936
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 13: matters to parents and when.

937
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 10: They go woke, they go broke.

938
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 13: And now there's an alternative, and that's Brave Plus with

939
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 13: Igge and Mister Kirk and fifty other shows that parents

940
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 13: can feel great about putting their kids in front of.

941
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 10: I love that.

942
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 6: What else is on Brave Plus?

943
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 13: Well, Brave Plus, that's all of their shows to only

944
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 13: one and twenty makes the cut. But you've got classics

945
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 13: like Bob the Builder and Strawberry Shortcake. You've got Igan,

946
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 13: Mister Kirk of course, and so many others that are

947
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 13: safe without a second thought. This is this is classic

948
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 13: television with Christian values. It's bringing mister Rogers back and

949
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 13: we need it now more than ever.

950
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, we do. By Pat we I went to that generation.

951
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: All right, your kids have grown, You had the most

952
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: extraordinary television career, South, movies, everything. What gave me the

953
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: inspiration to say, you know, I'm going to go back

954
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: and create some for young children again. Between Brave Books

955
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: and now Brave Plus, you've created something remarkable. What was

956
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 1: the inspiration?

957
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 10: Well, two things.

958
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 13: One, I work with amazing people at Brave Books who

959
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 13: are writing these wonderful children's books. Now we're bringing them

960
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 13: to life in a creative way.

961
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 10: Through a screen show. So we're redeeming screen time for kids.

962
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 13: And secondly, I am now a grandfather and so my

963
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 13: little granddaughter needs to have shows like this just like

964
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 13: we had when we were kids. And in fact, I

965
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 13: think this one is even better. The quality is amazing,

966
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 13: and the lessons and the faith forward nature of the

967
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 13: show is something that I think parents have never seen before.

968
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: Kirk, something that I think is so refreshing, especially for

969
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 2: me as a millennial. Even the aesthetic of the show,

970
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 2: it kind of resembles mister rogers neighborhood. There's a warmth

971
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 2: to it, there is a certain look to it.

972
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 10: Was that intentional, right, it really was.

973
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 13: You know, mister Rogers has a cardigan sweater that he

974
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 13: puts on. I've got a leather bomber jack. And we

975
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 13: actually leave the children looking into the camera with a

976
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 13: blessing and we say good night, brave explorers. May the

977
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 13: Lord bless you and keep you, and they his face

978
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 13: shine upon you and give you peace. Good night, and

979
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 13: a little lullaby sung by Iggy as he falls asleep

980
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 13: in his.

981
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 10: Hammock in our treehouse.

982
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 13: It's just adorable and it's something parents can finally trust.

983
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 10: If people are interested just just.

984
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,920

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great deal. Everybody should go do that.

988
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: Brave Plus folks, go check it out. Kurt, what is

989
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: the inspiration for Iggy? I love the iguana ideas?

990
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 6: Well?

991
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: Actually, I thought I was brilliant the second it's up.

992
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: But where did Iggy start from?

993
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 13: Well, it came from one of the genius minds of

994
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 13: someone at Brave Books. Kids love animals, kids love puppets,

995
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 13: and a little iguana, I think.

996
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 10: Is kind of unique. We've got Kermit the Frog.

997
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 13: But now we've got Iggy the Iguana, and he's he's

998
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 13: all the girls love him.

999
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 10: He's kind of getting a big head now.

1000
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 13: So we got to about being a teen idol.

1001
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 10: You know that was my big back in the day.

1002
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 13: Well, now he's uh, he's taking the world by storm.

1003
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of wisdom you can share on

1004
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: that front because you did it right.

1005
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 2: I'm running and how many episodes are all?

00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 13: We have twenty episodes. That's season one and season two.
