1
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: Good evening, America. Welcome to the Friday edition of Justin News,

2
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: No Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon, reporting to you,

3
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: as always from the nation's capital as we end a

4
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: tragic and in many ways frustrating week, but there is

5
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: some good news. Two days after the assassination of Charlie

6
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: Kirk at Utah Vallity University, Utah Governor Spencer Cox and

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Brittel announced this morning that they had

8
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: identified and apprehended the suspected tutor, twenty two year old

9
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Robinson's. We learned that from authorities that Robinson was

10
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: taken into custy after a family member of Robinson reached

11
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: out to a family friend, who then contacted the Washington

12
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's office in Utah to tell them that Robinson

13
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: had confessed, or at least implied that he had committed

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: the shooting. A family member also said that Robinson believed

15
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Kirk was quote full of hate in spreading hate, and

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: that would make sense with the reporting today around what

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: was found inscribed on the ammunition.

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: That the shooter had used.

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: There were anti fascists and anti Nazi slogans such as

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: hey fascists catch and other messages in the same vein.

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Robinson is expected to be charged with aggravated murder, felony,

22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: discharge of a firearm causing serious body of the injury,

23
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: and obstruction of justice. Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray plans

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: to file charges on Tuesday, with Robinson's first court.

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: Appearance to be at three pm that day.

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: Now, we'll have much more on this all throughout the

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: Tennis show tonight, and let's bring in now my amazing host,

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Amanda Head. Amanda, what you learn in the inscriptions and

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: other things that this is a man seems to have

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: come from a good family, They go to church, they

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: have a job, but they he SLINKs into this gaming

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: world where they have these anti fascist games. He's on

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: social media, on anti fah his sites. Maybe he's in

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: a school system where there's a teacher to talking anti fascists.

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: And we've immersed these young people, some of them vulnerable

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: on people, into a culture that makes them see that

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: it's righteous to shoot someone if you disagree with them.

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how we end that poison, but we've

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: got to.

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean, I along with the rest

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: of the newsroom we were all scouring social media posts

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: before they started getting taken down. And I mean, for

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: all appearances, he had a relatively happy upbringing, went on

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: trips with his family, and there's something just switched. And

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: I think we've got to get to the root cause

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: of that, like you were saying with some of our

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: guests tonight. But I want to in the wake of

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: all of those disgusting social media posts and all those

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: videos celebrating Charlie's assassination, Gosh, I can't I still can't

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: get used to saying that the State Department has a

51
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: message for foreigners who are posting that, posting like that

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: as well. And here's what Deputy Secretary of State Christopher

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: Landau posted on X earlier today. In light of yesterday's

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not

56
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: welcome visitors to our country. I've been disgusted to see

57
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of

58
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake

59
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: appropriate action.

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: Please feel free.

61
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: To bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 3: that the State Department can protect the American people, and

63
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: judging by all of the comments under that post, which

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: has over nine thousand so far, many Americans have not

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: been shy about sharing the hateful posts of some foreigners

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: who are in the country celebrating the assassination. And in

67
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Chicago we have reports of a driver plowing through into

68
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: ICE agents during an enforcement operation. The suspected driver is

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: dead after driving into a group of ICE officers who

70
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: were reportedly attempting to stop the vehicle. One officer ended

71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: up discharging his weapon, killing the driver. Now, the vehicle

72
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: in fact also injured an officer who was dragged a

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: significant distance, and that officer has been hospitalized. So, John,

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: I think it's time to hand it, hand it over

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 3: to you, and so you can bring in our first

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: guests to the night, because I think she's going to

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: have a lot to say about all that he does.

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: He always does. We always enjoy bringing around.

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: She represents the great state of Iowa. Congresswoman married Neette

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: Miller meets Congresswoman. Great to have you on the show.

81
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 4: Great to be with both you and Amanda. So thank

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: you for having me on.

83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: We are honored to have you on. We need some wisdom.

84
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: We need some answers. I think we also hollow inside

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: after experiencing this week and going through the roller coaster.

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: But this is becoming an all too familiar pattern. Young

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: man becomes a shooter and a murderer, an assassin, and

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: then you go back into his life and he's in

89
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: the social media realm, he's in the gaming world, he's

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: on Discord, the gaming chat site in there seem to

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: be surrounded by these anti fascist messaging, which are these

92
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: far left messages that basically say your enemy it should

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: be mortally take.

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: Out, and then they act on it.

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: How do we break this cycle because we've had a

96
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: little too many of these to see to live through.

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: Well, first and foremost, you know, one of the we

98
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: just had a hearing in Energy and Commerce and one

99
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: of my last statements that I made, and this was

100
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: on AI and the safety of AI. And this is

101
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: following on the heels of two individuals who were using

102
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: AI platforms in order to connect and get advice. And

103
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: so number one, they're not psychologists, they're not counselors, they're

104
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: not social workers. They are not your best friend, you know,

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: and younger people are very trusting of the internet. Of

106
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: you know, electronic mediums compared to older individuals. And my

107
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 4: comment there was that any groups, whether they are advocate,

108
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: whether they're nonprofit, whether they're schools that undermine the relationship

109
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 4: of children with their parents are doing tremendous harm to

110
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: our children. So that you know, schools that say we

111
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: don't have to inform parents, and we're not going to

112
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: inform parents of whatever it is that you really do

113
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: harm the student. And then secondly, it's having adults having

114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: access to two phones to the internet, but not seeing

115
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: that they have a different frontal lobe development, different judgment,

116
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 4: different foundation than giving this to very young children and

117
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: its addictive potential. So I think one of the things

118
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 4: that I heard Charlie Kirk had said was that when

119
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: all the world seems to have devolved into chaos, and

120
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: I'm paraphrasing, so this is not an exact quote, it's

121
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: time to unplug, be with your family, be with your faith,

122
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: get off of the internet, and reconnect back with that

123
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: human connection which brings all of us together. And following

124
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: on the heels of both Charlie Kirk's assassination but then

125
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: the twenty fourth anniversary of nine to eleven, I really

126
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: think that we need to remember that we're all Americans.

127
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: There is no place for political violence in our country

128
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: or in our culture. That is not what we do

129
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: in the United States. That's not how we resolve conflicts.

130
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: I condemned the shootings in Minnesota just as much as

131
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 4: I've condemned the assassination of Charlie kirk So on either

132
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: side of the Aisle so. And we have a level

133
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: of responsibility as members of Congress, as elected leaders, and

134
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: that's to try to bring down the temperature. And so

135
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: I don't ridicule are all people names when I'm in hearings.

136
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: I don't demean my colleagues. I may disagree with them

137
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: vehemently on their policies and their positions, and on what

138
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: those policies and positions may lead to our country or

139
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: their effect upon our country, but I try to stay

140
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: away from a personal attack, and I think it would

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: behoove all of us. And it's why I had to

142
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: respond as a member of Congress when I was alerted

143
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: by someone who's not a flamethrower, who's not bombastic. They're

144
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: just a reasonable person who called me or contacted me

145
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: about posting by one of the school teachers out of

146
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: high school. And I first had to verify that it

147
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: was real, that it wasn't photoshop, that it wasn't AI manipulated,

148
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: And when found out that it was real and hadn't

149
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 4: seen anything come out from the school district, made a

150
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: very simple post that I thought that it was disturbing

151
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: content and that for those who educate children, that I

152
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: was very concerned about that type of content being posted.

153
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: Fully support individuals free speech rights, but I think that

154
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 4: there are certain groups of people that bear a greater

155
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: responsibility and a greater standard and conduct than other individuals,

156
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: and so and that I put out that I was

157
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 4: going to talk to the superintendent of the school and

158
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: the principle did not ask for this person to be terminated,

159
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 4: did not ask for them to be docked or anything

160
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 4: like that. Simply wanted people to know that it was

161
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: being addressed. Bring down the temperature. Don't go out in

162
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: an outrage and try to do something in the school system.

163
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: But you know, let the process work. The process worked,

164
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: and the individual has been terminated, And I'm not happy

165
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: about anybody losing their job, but I just think that

166
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 4: we need to be mindful that with the Internet, with

167
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: social media, that people somehow feel that they can let

168
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 4: their innermost thoughts be conveyed, but there are no consequences

169
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 4: to that. Once you convey those innermost thoughts and you're

170
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: in an insort of community or an echo chamber, sometimes

171
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: people then act upon that and you feel this support

172
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: of other individuals, But it also gives other people in

173
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 4: the public the right to react to your conduct and

174
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: your behavior. So that wasn't true prior to the Internet

175
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 4: and social media.

176
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: Right, Congress, when there's another aspect of this that I

177
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: think we have to examine through that human lens that

178
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: you were talking about. When we came to the show tonight,

179
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: I was talking about how our newsroom was scouring social

180
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: media and I was on the mother's Facebook page and

181
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: there were already some very very wicked comments on there

182
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: about this woman. And obviously the son should face justice,

183
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: however the state of Utah and a jury of his

184
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: peers see fit.

185
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: But for the.

186
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: Parents, you know, the father had to effectively turn in

187
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: his son for execution.

188
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 4: How should people who.

189
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: Are supporters of Charlie Kirk, supporters of free speech, supporters

190
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: of Turning Point USA and what it stands for, how

191
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: should they How should we.

192
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: All handle this? Well, how would Charlie Kirk have handled this?

193
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk would not have gone after those parents, who

194
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: I can assure you are grieving, who are heartbroken, and

195
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: you know, I, as a parent, I could say what

196
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: did I do wrong? What? What didn't I do enough of?

197
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 4: How could I have prevented this? So these are parents

198
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: that are heartbroken, and there should be no place for

199
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: attacking these parents, you know, certainly not with the mother

200
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: of the Newtown shooting, Sandy Hook. You know, there's not.

201
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: We should remember that these individuals are people too, and

202
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: especially given that the father had done the right thing.

203
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: Remember there are other parents who actually sent their child

204
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 4: away or sent them to a foreign country to avoid,

205
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 4: you know, facing the consequences of their actions, and how

206
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: very difficult that is for a parent to do. So

207
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: I would say, please, Charlie Kirk would not have done that.

208
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: He would not have asked for you to do that.

209
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: He would have asked for the person he interacted with

210
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: to step up to be the next leader. And the

211
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: best thing you can do for Charlie Kirk and his

212
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: memory and the legacy he left behind is to ensure

213
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: that legacy can go forward, to engage in conversation, to

214
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: engage in debate, to engage in discourse, because what he

215
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: was most about was free speech, and not free speech

216
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: that was inflammatory or that was derogatory, but this engagement

217
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: to how do you persuade people knowing facts and going

218
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: forward and engaging with them. So I would say that's

219
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 4: the best thing people can do to honor Charlie Kirk

220
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: and his family.

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, wise words, Congress seems to be careening at the

222
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: behest of Democrats to a government shutdown. It seems to

223
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: be what democrats want. There's a lot of unfinished business,

224
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: including the farm bell, which is so important to rural America.

225
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: Give us a sense of where things are and how

226
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: you would like to see this end in a good

227
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: spot for the American people.

228
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 4: So first and foremost, I would say, you know what's

229
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 4: best for the American people who may be relying upon

230
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 4: these funding for our military, for our people and customs

231
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 4: and border protection, is that the government stay open. Most

232
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: people don't know that it doesn't save money by closing

233
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: the government. It actually costs more money. And then you

234
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: have to reopen the government. And do you have the

235
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 4: votes to reopen the government. So It is one of

236
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: those things where we're working diligently to you know, we

237
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 4: don't have a super majority in the Senate, so that

238
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: does require that we work with the Democrats. As we

239
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: saw Senator Schumer, Chuck Schumer was really blasted for not

240
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 4: shutting down the government earlier in March, so they're looking

241
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: for a reason to shut down the government. We're not

242
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: going to give them what everything that they want, but

243
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 4: there is some you know, pathway for compromise and for

244
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 4: doing the right thing by the American people, and that

245
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: is keeping the government open, making sure we're funding our military,

246
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 4: especially we have military abroad. We have National Guard troops

247
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: in Iowa that are in the Middle East, making sure

248
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: that their families have enough money to live on. So

249
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: I think it is very important for us to work

250
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,119
Speaker 4: through this process. But we're not going to give Democrats

251
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 4: everything they want, but there does need to be some

252
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: compromise as we go forward in all of our appropriation bills.

253
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 4: And quite honestly, we have three of our appropriation bills

254
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: that were passed by the Senate this year and from

255
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: my time in Congress, that's the first time it's happened.

256
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing Congress Wilman. Always an honor to have you on.

257
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: You always have wise words. I think what would Charlie

258
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: do is a good question we would all ask when

259
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: it comes to the freedom of speech. It's a great

260
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: honor to have you Aton, Thanks for joining us.

261
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, and you all have a great evening.

262
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: You as well, Thanks so much. With a great interview.

263
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: All right, folks, we're going to take a quick commercial break.

264
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to take a closer

265
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: look at Israel strike against the Hamas leadership and cutter

266
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: earlier this week, President Trent was not very happy about it,

267
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: nor was much of the rest of the world. We've

268
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: got a great guest to discuss that right after these

269
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: messages

270
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: S
