1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: On this episode of Newtsworld. My guest today has had

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: a legendary career as a college football coach for forty

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: years before being elected the United States Senate to represent

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: the state of Alabama. He first joined me on Newts

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: World in January twenty twenty two and we had a

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: great conversation about what it was like to go from

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: head coach to the US Senate. He's joining me today

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: to discuss issues he's leading on in the Senate regarding

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: the impact on the new Title nine policies we're going

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: to have on female athletes and his recent decision to

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: implement holds on the Department of Defense due to the

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: military's new abortion rules. So I'm really pleased to welcome

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: back my guest, Senator coach Tommy Tuberville. Tommy, welcome, and

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: thank you for joining me again in Newtsworld.

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: Glad to be here just to.

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Have people understand how well you understand the Title nine issue.

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: You spent forty years in higher education as a college

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: football coach. You were at the University of Miami, Texas,

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: a and m head coach at the University of Mississippi,

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: then head coach at Auburn University, where you coached for

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: eleven years. You led the Tigers to five Western Division titles,

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: one SEC championship, and in two thousand and four you

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: were the National Coach of the Year. You also had

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: head coaching stops at Texas Tech and Cincinnati, so you've

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: really had a lot of experience in athletics and a

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: lot of experience of Title nine. And when you did

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: retire after the twenty sixteen season, you were one of

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: the top fifty most winning football coaches of all time,

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: which is why our earlier podcast was so much fun

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: talking with you about lessons of coaching and what it's

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: like then to be in the US Senate. Given that background,

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: what's your sense of how the entire Biden administration approach

33
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: to Title nine is going to affect women in sports.

34
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Well, one thing you didn't mentioned, Newt was when I

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: first started coaching, I started coaching girls' sports also along

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: with men's sports, and that was at the very beginning

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: of Title nine. And it's one of the things that

38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: I've seen up here that has really worked in the

39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: federal government is Title nine. And a lot of people

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: were for it, a lot of people were against it

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: at that time, but it has done so much for

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: girls and women in sports all over our country. It's

43
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: built leadership, it's built work ethic, it's done the things

44
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: that boys had the opportunity to do before. Title nine

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: and Title nine, for those that really don't know, just

46
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: basically made it even for men and women's sports. If

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: you did something for men through the government, you had

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: to do the same thing for women. In my goodness,

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: how that success is really enhanced girls and women all

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: over our country. And look at the leaders we have now,

51
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: and a lot of it is because of sports. Now,

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Joe Biden and his administration are attacking Title nine, and

53
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that were for Title nine

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: newt years ago that are attacking it the same way.

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: And for some reason, I don't understand it, because what's

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: going on now will really affect Title nine. It's going

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 2: to tear it up. It's going to tear it from

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: inside out, Like our country is being destroyed from inside

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: out right now. And we have to get control of

60
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: this and this transgender issue. You know, listen, I'm not

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: against it. Whatever you want to be in our country,

62
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: you'd be that, But that doesn't give you the opportunity

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: to destroy other people's lives, and that's what's happening through

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: transcender biological boys participating in girls sports, and it's going

65
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: to continue to tear it down. And the Biden administration

66
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: is adamant on taking away the gender of women, and

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: we're going to keep fighting that up here because it's

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: unsafe and it's wrong what they're trying to do.

69
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: It seems to me that if you're born male, that

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: there are things that happen in terms of testosterone and

71
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: muscle build up and what have you, that even if

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: you do go through a sex change operation, you still

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: have enormous advantages over virtue of all females. What am

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: I missing here.

75
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Well, you're not missing anything. This is just a situation

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: where federal government wants to step in and basically attack

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: gender in this country. Right now, there's some states that

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: have twenty or thirty different genders that you can put

79
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: on your driver's license. I really don't understand it. There's

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: a man and a woman in our country. It's been

81
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: that way for thousands of years, but people want to

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: change it. And again, I don't care what people want

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: to think that they are or want to try to

84
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 2: change the way that they are to be something else.

85
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: The problem with this, it would be like saying, Okay,

86
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: we're going to let NFL football players play in a

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: junior high football league. I mean, that's basically what you're

88
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: doing here, and it's not fair. It's not fair to

89
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: the women and girls in this country that want the

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: opportunity to play sports and to learn from that situation.

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: But they also want if they're going to participate, they

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: want to have the opportunity to have success. And now

93
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: that we've got biological boys playing in women's sports, it's

94
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: going to continue to grow and grow and grow because

95
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: as of May, obviously Joe Biden and his group are

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: trying to change Title nine where you have to let

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: biological boys play in women's sports. It's going to rip

98
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: the heart and soul out of this bill, and it's

99
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: going to rip the heart and soul out of young

100
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: men and young women and girls across this country. It's

101
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: just a shame that we even have to talk about this.

102
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Isn't this also basically a position where when you are

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: dealing with this, they are repealing Title nine for all

104
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: practical purposes, they're ending the set aside for women to

105
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: be able to fully participate in sports, Biological men have

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: won twenty eight women's sports titles since two thousand and three.

107
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: That just strikes me is totally wrong. What does that

108
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: say to every woman who is trying to compete in

109
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: a particular sport to realize that no matter how good

110
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: they get, that some guy is going to beat them

111
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: out and that guy is then going to have the

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: women's title. Back when you were coaching girls basketball that

113
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: first four years, if men had been able to compete,

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: I suspect they were have been the entire basketball team exactly.

115
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 2: And what you just mentioned about twenty eight titles in

116
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: the NCAA twenty eight where women's sports, some kind of league,

117
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: some kind of championship was won by a biological boy

118
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: over the last fourteen fifteen years, and it's going to

119
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: be more and more if we continue to let this happen.

120
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: That's not counting the championships that are won in the

121
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: elementary level, the junior high level, the high school level.

122
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: It's going to be a total takeover of these kids

123
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: that are transitioning or say they're transitioning to women. It's

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: going to be a total takeover or boys in women's sports.

125
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: And we can't allow that to happen. We have to

126
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: allow young girls and women to be able to compete. Now,

127
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: I see now where some of these girls, like the

128
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: rappin'o or whatever her name is, a soccer players all

129
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: in for a transition and all in for these transgender

130
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: biological boys participate in women's sports. Well, I got news

131
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: for her. If we'd have done this twenty five years ago,

132
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: we'd have never heard of her. She would not have

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: been able to compete in the sports she competed in

134
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: and had the success she had. If she was going

135
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: to have to compete against biological men, that had never happened.

136
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: So she got her success because of Title nine. Now,

137
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: for some reason, she wants to try to destroy Title

138
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: nine through transgender boys playing and men playing in women's sports.

139
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: It's absolutely lunacy.

140
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: You've introduced the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,

141
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: which would preserve title line. What would it actually do?

142
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: Knud? Just going through the House this week they had

143
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: pretty much the same bill, and what it does. It

144
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: pretty much says that if you allow biological boys or

145
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: men to play in a sport that is funded by

146
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: federal funds, then you lose that federal funding. We've got

147
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: to find some way to hold her feet to the

148
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: fire on this. But as we've seen in this new

149
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: amendment that Joe Biden in the White House is going

150
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: to put in starting in May, that they are allowed

151
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: to play and you can't take federal funding. And if

152
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: you don't allow them to play, they will take federal

153
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: funding away from you. And so it's just the opposite.

154
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: Our building the House and our building the center is

155
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: just the opposite. You lose your federal funding if you

156
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: allow biological boys to play in women's sports. And again,

157
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: their amendment is just the opposite of what we're trying.

158
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: They are absolutely trying to destroy Title nine, and they

159
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: say they're not and they're not trying to destroy Title nine.

160
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: That's not what they're trying to destroy. Gender. They don't

161
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: want to be any thoughts about their being a gender.

162
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: They want us to basically have one gender in this country,

163
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: and that's not what it's supposed to be. This country

164
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: is built on moral values. It was built on God

165
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: and our constitution, and that's what we need to go by.

166
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: When you say that they're going to change us. Do

167
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: they have the authority under Title nine as it's written

168
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: for the President to redefine it this way.

169
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Well, they don't because we're saying it's not institutional. But

170
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: they're trying to do everything. They're trying to go around

171
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Road Wade. Now that it's going back to the States.

172
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: They're trying to circumvent and go around the rule of

173
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: law and the constitution to make taxpayers pay for abortions

174
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: and all those things. So they're trying to take any

175
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: avenue they possibly can to go around the rule of

176
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: the law and the moral values of this country to

177
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: implement their values and the things that they believe in.

178
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 2: And that's not what this country was built on.

179
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Your other major initiative, which is I think showing a

180
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: great deal of courage on your part, talk about what's

181
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: happening at the Defense Department on abortion and why you've

182
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: taken such a strong position.

183
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Well, what happened, Speaker, as I would say, in July,

184
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: we got wind after Roe Wade came down that the military,

185
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 2: the Department of Defense was going to change the abortion

186
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: policy for our military on their own, and we couldn't

187
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: get a briefing from them. They just basically were going

188
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: to hide it from us and just bring it out

189
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: and say here it is, we're going to change it.

190
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: And so around Thanksgiving this past year, finally, after letter

191
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: and calls to the Department Offense and Sector Austin and

192
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: his group of minions over there, we finally got him

193
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: to say, okay, well, we're going to give you a briefing.

194
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: So they gave us a briefing and it took about

195
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: thirty minutes, and after about a minute, I'm going to

196
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: wait a minute. Wait a minute. So you're going to

197
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: change the law in this country without going through Congress. Listen,

198
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: we can stop right there. Basically, what they said, we're

199
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 2: going to start allowing more abortions in the military. And

200
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: now we already have an abortion policy and it's if

201
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: you have rape, incest, or harmed in the mom The

202
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: military has done for years, have done abortions, and that

203
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: was the policy. That was the policy was passed down

204
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: from Congress. But after Roe Wade, they said, well, we're

205
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to get this to Congress. They

206
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: might be able to if they tried it, but we're

207
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: going to implement it ourselves. So now they're basically saying

208
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: taxpayers are gonna have to fund abortions, not only for

209
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: the military, but also their dependents, and we're going to

210
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: put them on an airplane and travel them to a

211
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: state of their choice where they can have an abortion.

212
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: And my letter right after that hearing was to Secretary Austin,

213
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: and I said, now, listen, I understand what you're trying

214
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: to do here, but you're trying to change the law.

215
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: And last I looked, y'all weren't elected to Congress. We were,

216
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: and that's what we do here in the Capital. We

217
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: set laws for the country and for the taxpayers. And

218
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 2: you're not going to do this. And if you do,

219
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put a hold on every flag general, admiral

220
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: or even some of your Seville nominees, and you're not

221
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: gonna be able to get them through unless you go

222
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: through regular order, which would take forever. And so they implemented,

223
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: I think February the eighth, they went ahead and implemented

224
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: this new policy. And when they did that, I implemented my

225
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: holes on all the flagship officers and across our military.

226
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: Now a lot of people are very upset about it,

227
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: but the taxpayers are not required to pay for abortions

228
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: in this country. That's basically what the High Amendment says.

229
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: So they're breaking the law, and so we've got a

230
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: standoff as we speak. But I'm not budget and so

231
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: if they want to get these nominees through, they can

232
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: take them through regular order, which right now we've got

233
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: up close to two hundred nominations. That would take a

234
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: long long time to get them through. But to get

235
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: them through, that's what they're going to have to do,

236
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: or they're going to bring the bill to the floor

237
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: and make people vote on it and see what people

238
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: how they vote through each Senator and through each Congressman,

239
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: and get them on the record of how they're going

240
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: to vote for taxpayers paying for abortions.

241
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: I noticed this based on the research you all have

242
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: been doing, that the Department of Defense, with a very

243
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: limited number of abortions that are allowed under current law,

244
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: with in cases of rape incests or pregnancies to threat

245
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: in the life of the mother, the Department Offense has

246
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: averaged less than twenty abortions per year. But with this

247
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: new rule, the estimate is that we'll go up to

248
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: forty one hundred a year. That's two hundred and five

249
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: times more abortions paid for by the Defense Department than

250
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: under current law. So what they're suggesting here is in

251
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: many ways almost as big as radical a change as

252
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: they're attempting in Title nine. And you've stood firmly and

253
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: blocked it. And I'm curious, what's the response when you're

254
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: exercising the legitimate power of the Senate to block nominations

255
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: and to force the president to pay attention. But what

256
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: has been the reaction in general to you've taken such

257
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: a strong stand.

258
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: Well, I've gotten a lot of support from all over

259
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: the country from my state of Alabama. I've got a

260
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: lot of support on our side in the Senate and

261
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 2: the Republic inside. Not one hundred percent yet, but I'm

262
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: still working on that. But it's the process of which

263
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: they're doing it, Speaker, you know, again, as I said

264
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: after Roadway, they've been looking for any avenue in which

265
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: to do abortions. Now. The one thing that they did change,

266
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: other than the pain the taxpayer's paying for this abortion,

267
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: is they can do it at any time. It's abortion

268
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: on demand, and which a majority of the people across

269
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: the country don't believe in. But sixty percent of the

270
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: people we poll that sixty percent of the people are

271
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: behind us across country on this. Taxpayers should not have

272
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: to fund abortions. It's against the law. But we've got

273
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: a lot of pushback. The leader of the Senate, which

274
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: has been very vocal against me. The week before we

275
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: got out for recess a couple of weeks ago, he

276
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: started his Our Morning talk on the Senate floor about me,

277
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: about how I was holding up progress in this country,

278
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: and he went for four days straight just pounding on me.

279
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: But that's fine, as I told him in a speech

280
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: on the floor that when they try to do a

281
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: cr against me, I said, listen, I've been in coaching

282
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: for forty years. I've been called everything already. You can't

283
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: call me anything new, So come on, bring it on,

284
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: because I'm standing behind the Constitution and the taxpayers of

285
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: this country, and.

286
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I suspect in Alabama having Schumer attack you is not

287
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: exactly a hardship. One of the things, though, that's kind

288
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: of a big lie, is this argument that what you're

289
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: doing is unprecedented. In fact, I think you pointed out

290
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: in a Wall Street Journal uphed which I thought was

291
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: pretty effectively entitled the Pentagon shouldn't wage culture work that

292
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: In fact, historically the Senate has often indicated that it

293
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: wants the executive branch to pay attention by holding up

294
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: promotions including I think I was really surprised to learn this.

295
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: On one occasion in nineteen ninety two they upheld the

296
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: promotion and transfer of about nine thousand Navy and Marine

297
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: officers till they got the attention of the Navy. That

298
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: is a real impact. And why comparison what you've done

299
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: so far is pretty mild.

300
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: Well, one thing too, and you know this speaker, that

301
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: you don't have a lot of power in the Senate

302
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: when you're in the minority. And since I've been here

303
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: for two years and going into my third year, we've

304
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: obviously been in the minority. We have no control of anything.

305
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: But the power that you do have is you can

306
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: object and you can put a hold on somebody. And

307
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: when you do that, now they can get these people

308
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: voted on, but they have to do it one at

309
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: a time. For the people listening right now, we do

310
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: them in groups of one hundred, one hundred and fifty

311
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: two hundred, and they just kind of passed through committee

312
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: and they go through just a regular vote unanimous consent

313
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: and they're approved. But when you put a hold on somebody,

314
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: they can get one through but they've got to go

315
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: through regular order, which one at a time, they go

316
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: through committee, and then they come to the floor and

317
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: people vote on them. And so that's what I'm making

318
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: them do. I'm making them work. We haven't done a

319
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: lot of work up here since January. We've been on

320
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: vacation morning, we've been in the office. But that's because Schumer,

321
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: the leader of the Senate is he knows he can't

322
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: get much done because we have the house control of

323
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: the House, because he can't spend any money, and that's

324
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: all they like to do up here, spend money. It's

325
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: a unique situation, but we do have some power win

326
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: win the minority, and so I've got a hold on them,

327
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: and they're going to have to find some way to

328
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: get around this. Bring it to a full vote on

329
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: this new policy, and if it passes, it passes. But

330
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: I think they're afraid to put their name on this bill.

331
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, then.

332
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: You have to go home and explain to people why

333
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: you want to use their tax money to pay for abortions.

334
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: And it just strikes me it's not part of why

335
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: we have a Department of Defense. Everything they've done under

336
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: Biden on trying to create a woke Department of Defense,

337
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: so I think is actually weakened our ability to protect America.

338
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: I hope we don't have war with anybody right now

339
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: new because they have absolutely tried to bring our military

340
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: to its needs. Through all there's woke policies. You wouldn't

341
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: believe the things that they're trying to do and continue

342
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: to do. American taxpayers don't know anything about. But as

343
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: I tell Secretary Austin every time he comes to a

344
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: posture hearing in front of Armed Services Committee, you know,

345
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: I tell him, Hey, we don't need a woke military,

346
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 2: we need a killing machine. People need to fear us

347
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: across the world, and they don't fear us anymore because

348
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 2: we're more worried about transgender restrooms, about the wokeism that

349
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: we teach with all of our military. Right after the

350
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: January sixth, two years ago, the first thing that Sector

351
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 2: Austin did was he put everybody through in a quite extremism

352
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: test to make sure that white nationalists weren't in our military,

353
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: which is the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life.

354
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: But that's this administration. Our country is struggling right now.

355
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: We have got more problems and you can stir with

356
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: a stick. And it's all caused by this White House

357
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: of Joe Biden.

358
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: And another example of that radicalism, which I'm a little

359
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: surprised that they're so tone deaf to the American people,

360
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: but this new propose by the Environmental Protection Agency that

361
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: would actually try to force Americans to have two out

362
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: of every three cars be electric by twenty thirty two.

363
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems to me that when the country

364
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: understands that considering the current gas powered cars are ninety

365
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: three percent of all new car sales, so they want

366
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: to move from seven percent to sixty seven percent in

367
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: really a very short time. And of course the average

368
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: electric vehicle is sixty four thousand dollars well, the average

369
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: compact gas powered cars about twenty six thousand, So it

370
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: really hits the poor and the working Americans hardest. But

371
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: what's your view of this whole notion that EPA is

372
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: going to somehow by bureaucracy, coerce us into buying cars

373
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: we don't want to buy.

374
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: It's about total control by the Democratic Party in the

375
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: far left, this climate agenda that they have with John

376
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: Kerry running all over the world preaching the world's coming

377
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: to an end. In set the nineteen sixties, they've predicted

378
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: something every ten years is going to happen. They've been

379
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: dead wrong on all of it, and they're dead wrong

380
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: on this this country, in this world. Newt was built

381
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 2: on cheap energy, and we've got abundance of fossil fuels

382
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: in this country and other places. We're actually putting a

383
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: restraint on everybody in this world by us not going

384
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: out and fully implementing the fossil fuels we have in

385
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: this country. But they can't do what they're doing. They

386
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: know they can't. They're trying to push this agenda where

387
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: they get to a point. And I saw today I

388
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: read something early this morning. I get up early and

389
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 2: read John carry says, we're gonna get this to the

390
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: point where there's no return, and that's exactly what they're

391
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: trying to do. I went to several car manufacturers a

392
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, even in my state, and they're

393
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: transitioning to a huge amount of EV cars, and I said, well,

394
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: first of all, where you're gonna get you batteries from?

395
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: I mean, who's gonna charge these things? I mean, there

396
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: is no common sense to this new there's no plan.

397
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: All their plan is to get everybody under the control

398
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: of the federal government and force people to go the

399
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: EV route, which people can't afford it. As you just said,

400
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: the expense is unbelievable. They're not gonna be able to

401
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: afford to charge it, and we can't make enough electricity

402
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: for all these things. There's no plan, no common sense.

403
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: And it's the same thing every day I hear hear

404
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 2: from this Bide administration and Democrats is we're gonna do

405
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 2: it for the American people. They're not doing it for

406
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: the American people. They're doing it for the government, and

407
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: if we don't stop it, we're gonna be in huge trouble.

408
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's more accurate to say they're doing

409
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: it to the American people, not for the American people.

410
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: Your state is a surprisingly big manufacturer of cars, isn't it.

411
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: We make Mercedes cars, we make Hondai Toyota. I was

412
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: glad to hear one CEO had a little bit of

413
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: common sense. Toyota's CEO said, you know, I don't believe

414
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 2: this is gonna work. I mean, we're not gonna get off.

415
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna build a few EV cars, but we're not

416
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: gonna get into it. Forty to fifty sixty percent. Ford

417
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: is building a three billion dollar battery plant in southern

418
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee as we speak, three billion Ford Motor Company. Where

419
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: are they going to get their minerals from? They all

420
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: come from China. What are they think's going on over there?

421
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: They think this is a bed of roses in China.

422
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: Right now, where we're going to be able to just

423
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: do and buy anything we want from China. That's not

424
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: going to happen. We're going to be behind the eight ball.

425
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: And of course, the very people on the left who

426
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: want to force you on an electric car are opposed

427
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: to mining those minerals in the United States, so they

428
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: want to block us from producing our own minerals. Who

429
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: are forcing us into buying batteries to use Chinese minerals,

430
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: and the whole thing is crazy. You recently introduced the

431
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act. Can you explain what you're

432
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish there?

433
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: Well, the biggest thing going on right now, and you

434
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: and I just talked about a lot of problems for

435
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: the last twenty twenty five minutes. The biggest problem in

436
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: our country right now is the border being open, you

437
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: can take away China. You listen to President Trump the

438
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: other day in his speech, he says, everything that's going on,

439
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: we're going to implode from within, and that is exactly

440
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: what's going on. Happened. I've been to the border several times.

441
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: People from one hundred and eighty four different countries have

442
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: come across the border, China, Russia. They're not coming here

443
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: to help us. They're coming in and take this country over.

444
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: And so we've got to stop these cities that are

445
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: basically on the verge of destruction anyway to continue to

446
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 2: allow people coming in there to be on welfare, to

447
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: be on food stamps, to put them up and spend

448
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 2: tax payers money. So we're trying to put some pressure

449
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: on these sanctuary cities where they've got some laws against

450
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: what they're doing, but they're not going to listen anyway.

451
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: We can push this all we want, but they're not

452
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: going to listen to it. But we've got to control

453
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 2: our border. New we might just be months away from

454
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: no return. It's just like the climate hoax that they're

455
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: pushing on us. We're going to get to the point

456
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: where what they're doing, there's no way to return back

457
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 2: to going back to fossil fuels. The same thing with

458
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: the border. They continue this, there's not going to be

459
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: in returned to normalcy down there. We're going to be

460
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: out of hand so much that the federal government's just

461
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: going to have to take over everything, and that's what

462
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: they want.

463
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: On the Secretary of Homeland Security test to Ice with

464
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: a straight face, he says, the border is under control.

465
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: How can he say something that's that patently dishonest.

466
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: They can't tell the truth. And the entire White House.

467
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: You listen to this young girl they get up there,

468
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: given briefings every day from the White House. She just

469
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: makes her own stuff up. They can't tell the truth.

470
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: They really can't. Nothing that they're doing is for the

471
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: American people is for big government. Nothing that they're doing

472
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 2: is to help educate our kids and give kids an

473
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: opportunity that you and I had growing up. Everything is

474
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: taken away to where it's total control. But big government,

475
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: the breocracy up here is just tenfold. It's out of hand.

476
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: We're dead broke, and they want to continue that path

477
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: to where again it says there's no return that even

478
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: when we do take over as Republican and as an

479
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: American group of people up here that wants to run

480
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: this government, it's going to be impossible to get it

481
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: turned around.

482
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: They're trying to dig such a deep hole that we

483
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: won't be able to fill it up. They still have

484
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: great faith in the American people, and I think that

485
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: they're going to support the kind of things you're doing.

486
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: And across the board, what you're doing is applying common

487
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: practical sense against a very radical, extremist agenda that the

488
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: other side is trying to push through no matter what.

489
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: And I think, frankly, leaders like you are making a

490
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: difference by having the courage to stand and fight and

491
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: to draw a line in the sand. And I agree

492
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: with you. I think on some of these issues they

493
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: really don't want to be recorded on the other side,

494
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: but they realize that back home some of the stuff

495
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: is so unpopular that it's going to become toxic to

496
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: their re election opportunities. I want to thank you for

497
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: joining me, but it's fascinating to watch you because you

498
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: had such a decisive career as a head coach. You

499
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: know so much about making decisions and living with them,

500
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: about having crowds that applaud one week and yell at

501
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: you the next week and just doing your job despite it.

502
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's really served you well in the Senate.

503
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I think it's allowed you to focus on what matters,

504
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: to not be too bounced around by the normal challenges

505
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: of politics. I want to wish you well, but I

506
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: also think that the people of Alabama did a great

507
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: thing in sending you to the Senate, and I think

508
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: you're going to be one of those senators who makes

509
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: a difference by having the courage to stand up and fight.

510
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: So I really appreciate you taking the time to share

511
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: with us what you're currently up to.

512
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: Well, thank you speaking. It's great to be on again.

513
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: But we work for the American people. I think sometimes

514
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 2: people ever forget that. We've got to build more jobs,

515
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: we've got to protect jobs, and we've got to give

516
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: people an education to where they can live a great life.

517
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: And right now, this federal government wants people not to

518
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: have a good education, not to have jobs, but work

519
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: for the government in terms of taking a paycheck. And

520
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: if we don't stop that, we're going to end up

521
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: just like a lot of these socialist countries across the

522
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: Big Pond. And we do not want that. We want

523
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: to be an American country that's got freedom and have

524
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 2: the rights to do whatever you want to do and

525
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: achieve whatever you want to achieve achieve.

526
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more and I really appreciate

527
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: you taking the time to share those thoughts with us.

528
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,359
