1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Truth with Lisa Booth, where we get

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: to a heart of the issues that matter to you. Today,

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: we've got Congressman Abe Hammaday from Arizona on the show.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: He is an advocate for election integrity and he's a

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: co sponsor of this Save Act, that critical bill aimed

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: at ensuring that only American citizens vote in our federal elections.

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, they have to show some form

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: of government. I d does that just sound common sense? Normal?

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: You'd say, well, guess what, eighty three percent of Americans agree,

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: But then somehow it's become controversial. Why is that? I'm

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: gonna ask Congressman Hommiday about that. Will also dig into

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: the upcoming midterm elections. How does he see things shaking out?

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for Congressman Abe Hammaday. Well, congressmen, it's great

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: to have you back. I don't know if I've had

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: you since I've had you on when you were a candidate,

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know if i've had you one since

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: you won.

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: Have I I don't think still least if it's an

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: honor to be with you.

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: I've already said congratulations, but congratulations publicly thanks you so

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: right now, the big battle over the Stave Act. First

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: of all, give us the big picture. What does the

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: Save Act do? Well?

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: Now, we passed the stay back last year. Remember that

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: was one of our first bills that we passed, and

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: unfortunately the Senate just hasn't prioritized this. So now President

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: Trump has really been leading the charge. He met with

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: US Republican members of Congress last month and he wanted

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: to rename it the Day of America Act and to

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: add voter ID part of that, not just the citizenship requirements.

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: So what this bill does is you have to throw

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: proof of citizenship and voter ID in order to register

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: to vote and to keep you on the voter rolls.

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: So it's very common sense legislation that was support of

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: over eighty three percent of Americans. Can you imagine. Usually

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: it's hard to get people to agree on something like that.

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: But and what's remarkable is the pushback we're getting from

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: the Democrats. But we still be voting on that to

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: this week and today. So hopefully once we passed that

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: election integrity measure now onto the Senate, which is going

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: to have its own challenges over there.

42
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, you know, to your point, Pew research eighty three

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: percent of adults support requiring some form of government issued

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: idea to vote. Seventy one percent of Democrats support it

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: as well in ninety five percent of Republicans. Why has

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: this become controversial. It's only controversial because the Democrats are

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: making a controversial Democrat and power. And if you look

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: at I truly believe that the Democrat right now, they

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: can't win on their own policies. Their policies bring destruction

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: and chaos, and so they're they're benefiting from a broken

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: system because we know that they're illegals on the voter rules,

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: we know that there are problems with our elections. So

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: that's how I view it.

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: The Democrats are trying to protect the power that they

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: currently have. Because when you have a when you have

56
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: polls numbers, especially plus percent of Democrats supporting it, why

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: are they going against the will of their own voters. Well,

58
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: they think that they know better because the ones in

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 2: power who are making the decisions want to override it

60
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: because they know that their power might be taken away

61
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: from them. So that's the fight. It's pretty simple, and

62
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: I've always tie it back into Minnesota, Alita. We discovered

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 2: with the Minnesota fraud that was occurring where you had

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: these Domali immigrants who were dealing from the taxpayers billions

65
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: of dollars. I want people to know, if they're willing

66
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: to steal money from you, the taxpayers, don't you think

67
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 2: that they're willing to also steal our elections in order

68
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: to protect the fraud that's been occurring. They're traud regarding

69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: all these tax dollars. There's also a fraud in our elections,

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: so we got to clean it up.

71
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: Well, you know, to that point, Senator Tom Claughton tweeted out,

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: pretty plainly, let's call it like it is. Chuck Schumer

73
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: poses voter ID because he wants to make it easy

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: to commit voter fraud. It's hard to find any other

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: reason besides that. When you look at as even a

76
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: seventy one percent approval rating with Democrat voters.

77
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he has it exactly right. It's common

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: sent and that's why the vote overwhelming they support it.

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: But to be honestly, so, there's so much in Congress

80
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: that men and women's sports. I find I've never met

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: somebody on this breeze or back home who support having

82
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: men and women's sports. Yet does Democrats seem to be

83
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: supporting the far far fringes of their own party, of

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: their own radical base. So you know, Democrats are involved

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: in their own type of civil war right now about

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: control of the party, and I think their opposition to

87
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: this in Unison seems to be trying to playdate to

88
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: that far left radical day.

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's to be seen, but it does

90
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: appear as if with the progressive left that you know,

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: they're kind of sitting their own tea party moments. I

92
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: hope that doesn't mean we're going to see in this

93
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: midterm election what we saw in the twenty ten election,

94
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: because I was at the NRC at the NRCC at

95
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: the time and we picked up sixty three seats in

96
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: the House. So I'm hoping, you know, the kind of

97
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: momentum they're saying on the left doesn't translate into that

98
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: kind of way of election.

99
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my biggest spear too. But luckily we got

100
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: President Crompho remains more popular than people could have ever

101
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: even predicted. I mean just a few years ago, remember,

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: people didn't expect President Trump to come back into the

103
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: Oval office. So this is why President Trump cares about

104
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: electa integrity. He knows that we have to get the

105
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: base motivated out to vote, and especially you know with

106
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: this issue. It it's such an easy one for us

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: to do. And unfortunately the Senate has been the biggest

108
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: obstacle with there with not them you know, having them

109
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: not allowed debate on this. So the filibuster, they always

110
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: use the filibusters and excuse. But unfortunately, you know, President Trump,

111
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: he knows that we have to get rid of the

112
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 2: filibuster in order to do at a America First agenda.

113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: Because right now we've done a good job, especially the

114
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: big beautiful bill, but there's still much more work to do,

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: especially to get our base motivated to go out this November.

116
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got center Chuck Schumer calling it dev on

117
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: arrival in the Senate and voter suspension, voter suppression rather

118
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 1: akin to Jim Crow two point out, which is really interesting,

119
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: seventy one percent of this voter is don't agree with that.

120
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: How much of this two is about the census in

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty and thirty because if you look at sort of

122
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: some of the projections and the predictions, Republican states are

123
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: poised to gain a bunch of seats and also the

124
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: electoral college is supposed to change pretty significantly, to the

125
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: point where the blue Wall might not even exist for

126
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Democrats anymore. Yeah, So, I mean, how much of this

127
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: is trying to preserve you know, we had We've had

128
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: people like I'm sure you've seen the quote from Congressmoman

129
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: you bet Clark saying that she needs more migrants for

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: redistricting purposes in our district. So you know, how much

131
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: of what we saw under Joe Biden with all the

132
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: illegal aliens coming in is about that is about trying

133
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: to protect themselves heading into the next census.

134
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a big part of it, the same

135
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: way they're trying to protect a fraud that's going on

136
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: in Minnesota. But we are regarding this, then there's a

137
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: reason why they're opposing the deportaste and effort. I mean,

138
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: a minority of Americans do support deporting illegals. How it

139
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: occurs is up to debate, but most Americans, I mean,

140
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: that's why President Trump won is because these secured the

141
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: border within a few weeks. They understood that's what was

142
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: the mandate that was given to them. And if you're right,

143
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: if you look at California and New York, so many

144
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: of these days dates are poised to be losing these seats.

145
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: Then you know, after you know, now they're redistricting, right,

146
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: that's the next battle that's been going on. Even though

147
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: they're trying to paint that on us, Well, we were

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: only doing that in response to how much jerrymandering they

149
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: were going that was going on in Democrat stakes. So

150
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: from what from our from my estimate, it seems like

151
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: there's a possibility of deven to ten, you know, shifts

152
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: of congressional seats and electoral college if not more, depending

153
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: on what the census shows, if we get ready to

154
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: be legal immigrants on the on the census. But you know,

155
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: that's another bill that's being talked about. It introduced whether

156
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: to count illegal immigrants into the census. But my argument is, well,

157
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: if we start deporting, if we actually deport these illegal immigrants,

158
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: they wouldn't be included in the census in the first place.

159
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: So that's why it's still critical to keep the focus

160
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: on the deportation efforts. Of this minute is race like

161
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: I believe it's going wrong. I mean, a lot of

162
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: it is actually self deportation, and we have to comport

163
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: our immigration and customs enforcement officers who you know, sadly

164
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: have been coming under attack in a similar way to

165
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: how it was in twenty twenty with the George Floyd

166
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: riots that we witnessed. So I don't like to see

167
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: this divide that the Democrats constantly do against blond Enport.

168
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: And now there's kying to state it that they're against well, no,

169
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: they were against local police just a few years ago too.

170
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: So it's this idea that Democrats bring chaos and destructing

171
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: everywhere they go, everywhere, every city, every state that they

172
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: control pretty much is an embodiment of a bad policies. Okay,

173
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: callis Horney. Look at New York, and that's why these

174
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: states are losing population. And regardless of illegals, they're still

175
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: losing their their own citizen population. So we have to

176
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: we have to ensure that illegals are not counted towards

177
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: the tents in twenty thirty. So that's a big battle

178
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: that we're going to be focusing on. But the deportation

179
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: efforts will ultimately help them.

180
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. And then also I'll be having the Missouri

181
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: Trying general on in the near future, and she has

182
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: launched a lawsuit. I'm looking into that, specifically about saying

183
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: that illegal aliens should not be parted as or included

184
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: as part of the census. You know, I was gonna

185
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: ask you you had mentioned, you know, the poll numbers

186
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: have not been great for President Trump for Republicans right now,

187
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: Why do you think especially on you know, I think

188
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: there's like a Fox poll a couple of weeks ago,

189
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: and look like these are just snapshots in time. Obviously

190
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: heading into the midterms things can look a lot different.

191
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: But at least right now, Democrats lead by fourteen points

192
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: on affordability. And it's not just the Fox pole. There's been,

193
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, a ray of polls basically saying that you know,

194
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: President Trump's upside down on issues like affordability, the economy,

195
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: perceptions on the economy, et cetera, et cetera.

196
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: Why do you think that is Well, unfortunately we have

197
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: to deal with so much of the Bay news media,

198
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: but affordably, I always laugh when they talk about affordability.

199
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: Being a Democrat is do I mean companylely wrong? If

200
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: you look at Virginia just elected a Democrat governor, a

201
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: Democratic ad who call for the death of his political

202
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 2: opponent's children, and you have a Democrat legislator. What the

203
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: first thing they do is they want to raise taxes

204
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: to one of the highest in the country. That's not

205
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: going to make life affordable for Americans. So it's really

206
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: the messaging aspect of it. Affordability and most unaffordable cities

207
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 2: are led by Democrats, and that's where Republicans we have

208
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: to keep messaging in that way. And you know something

209
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: I'm looking that is the Democrat right now they have

210
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: their boogeyman. Their boogeyman is always been President Trump. They

211
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 2: have punkt arrangements syndrome. Republicans right now we have to

212
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: be running against the fraud. The fraud was so offensive

213
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: that we uncovered in Minnesota, and it's all across our country.

214
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: We know that there's fraud occurring. And again, if they're

215
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: committing fraud to steal your tax dollars, they're going to

216
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: be committing fraud to steal your electives. And I think

217
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: that's why the Stay of America Act, for instance, it's

218
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: so popular right now, especially as Republican, we have to

219
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: give the base and these the voters who came out

220
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: to support President and now this is a mid term

221
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: it's an awful ectioneer we have to encourage them to

222
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: come out and vote for Republicans once again because this

223
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: year they're going to see a huge tax decreased. Is

224
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: because of the big beautiful bill. I mean, there's going

225
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: to be a lot of benefits. Are you know, My

226
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: district in Arizona has one of the highest number of

227
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: senior citizens and now they're not going to get taxed

228
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 2: on their Social Security They're going to get attacked credit

229
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: eighty three percent of seniors. So it's really amazing and

230
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: I think this is going to take a few more

231
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: months where two actually show. But unfortunately, the messaging from

232
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: the Democrats has been completely in unison and right now

233
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: Republicans have to be uniper high President Trump, who remains

234
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: more popular than Congress. And I think the biggest frustrations

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: of voters right now is that they want to see

236
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: more action from Congress. Well, you know, the House, I

237
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: will say, has been a lot more pro Trump than

238
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: the Senate, and we have got a lot of major

239
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: bills passed, however, and which is unusual. Usually the House

240
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: is a lot harder to do than the Senate. But

241
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: this time around, it seems like the Senate has been

242
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: the one giving us the most problems. And I think

243
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: that's why a leader soon has to do wake up

244
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: the fact that the voter based right now is demanding

245
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: act and the same type of bullback that President Trump

246
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: has been delivering.

247
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: And then before we go, what do you think is

248
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen with this DHS funding? You know, Democrats are

249
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: doubling down, tripling down, however many downs you want to

250
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: call it on trying to get some of these reforms

251
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 1: with federal law enforcement and ICE. Do you think that

252
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: they'll get any of them?

253
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: Well, it seems like the White House they probably come

254
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: up with them negotiated. But the Democrats starting points, their

255
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: their bullet point plant host was a non starter and

256
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: the Democrats know that, but they are benefiting from the ahutdown.

257
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: They try to benefit, you know, when there is no deal.

258
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: So I you know, I've had a lot of conversations

259
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 2: with members of Congress. I don't believe there's gonna be

260
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 2: a deal, and I don't think they're going to get

261
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: DHS funded and ICE funded right now. It's gonna be

262
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: a big problem because it affecting our Coastguard service members

263
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: who are serving over dease to affect guess Day and

264
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: the Democrats, just like they did a few months ago,

265
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: are holding our government hosted so and unfortunately they're going

266
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: to be, you know, delaying so many Americans' ability to

267
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: travel with when you have TSA workers not getting paid

268
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: on time. And you know, I was dealing with this

269
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: issue here in Arizona with some ICE some of our

270
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: ICE employees as well, and this was not due to

271
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: a shutdown, but just because there's huge backlogs. So there's

272
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: a big problem. We have to ensure that our government

273
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: is functioning. And right now, a Democrat they're base doesn't

274
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: they want the government to be completely strutted out. Remember

275
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: when the Democrats finally decided to end the government shut

276
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: down a few months ago, the far left base of

277
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: the Democrat already was matt at their leaders for reopening

278
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: the government. So it's almost a suicidal mission that the

279
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: Democrats seem to be on.

280
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Congressman, thanks for coming on the show.

281
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: Appreciate you making the time, of course, thank you, Lisa. Okay.

282
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: That was Congressman Abehammaday from Arizona. Appreciate him for joining

283
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: the show. Appreciate you guys at home for listening every

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Thursday. You can listen throughout the week. I

285
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: also want to think John Cassio and my producer for

286
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: putting the show together until next time.
