I don't mean the 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.680 people that run Cuba, that's obvious. I mean the BLM 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:31.080 organizers Black Lives Matter. It's a Marxist communist organization. It 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.840 seeks to divide us. It seeks to highlight, exaggerate, and 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:42.960 exacerbate that which divides us from each other. And it's 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.480 just too much. Right. We see this going on and 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.680 it is driving people like me up the wall. I'm 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:56.240 just why, why does corporate America support BLM. Why do 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.840 all these different democrats not just bend the need to, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:05.799 but but celebrate BLM when their foundational philosophy is not 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.760 of making America a fantastic place. Dare I say making 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.760 America great? It's that they want to tear this place apart, 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:18.760 replace our foundations with something else, and destroy American unity 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.960 in the process. Black Lives Matter put out this statement 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.200 about the Cuba situation, So if you want to know 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.920 where their ideological sympathies really lie, you got to see this. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:32.720 Black Lives Matter condemns the US federal government's inhumane treatment 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:38.800 of Cubans and urges it to immediately lift the economic embargo. 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:44.080 This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.920 of destabilizing the country and undermining Cuban's right to choose 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.360 their own government, is at the heart of Cuba's current crisis. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.600 Since nineteen sixty two, the United States has forced pain 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.240 and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine, 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.800 and supplies, costing the tiny island nation and estimated one 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.480 hundred and thirty billion dollars. Without that money, it is 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.280 harder for Cuba to acquire medical equipment, needer to develop 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:11.680 its own COVID nineteen vaccines, and equipment for food production Cuba. 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.600 It keeps going on and on and on. Cuba has 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.880 historically demonstrated solidarity with oppressed peoples. Now we look to 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.720 President Biden to end the embargo, something up Barack Obama 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.679 called for in twenty sixteen. The embargo is a blatant 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.000 human rights violation must come to an end. The Cuban 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:36.520 government is shooting, arresting, bludgeoning people in the street for protesting, 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.799 and Black Lives Matter is putting out a statement blaming 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:48.560 the United States government for the problems of Cuba. I mean, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.880 at some point you just have to understand that you're 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.159 dealing with people who have no principles, no common sense, 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.039 and no decency. And that's certainly the case with the 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.880 bl position on Cuba. And this is appalling. People should 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.560 be outraged that any organization would put something like this 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.159 out there. But this is what I've been saying along. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:16.480 We have a Marxist uprising within the Democrat Party that's 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.640 been going on for a long time. The Marxists are ascended, 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.839 true Marxists, and the suffering of the Cuban people is 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:28.120 just simply not something that they are are overly, shall 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.920 we say, concerned about it. I don't think they're really 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:35.320 concerned at all. I don't think it really matters to them. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:41.200 And I'm just I am appalled, appalled that so many 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:48.239 American institutions went along with this, went along with BLM 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.520 and supported it. But this is this is where we are. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.560 Another thing that's coming to mind right now is just 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.240 how the speech that was given by Biden early in 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:05.960 this week was completely off the wall crazy. And I'm 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.720 going to tie this all together with the pandemic in 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:12.080 a second. But here's Senator Mitch McConnell play one. Yesterday, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.599 the President of the United States delivered a speech that 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:22.160 was set in an alternate universe. He called these mainstream 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:27.000 state laws, these modest integrity measures that are wildly popular 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:33.039 with Americans. Quote now listen to this the single the 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:38.280 most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. Really, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.560 this is our new president who promised the Lord the temperature, 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.400 bring America back together and rebuild a civil society where 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.239 we can dialogue its fellow citizens. That's the person who's 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.880 now yelling that mainstream state laws are more dangerous than 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.360 two world wars, more dangerous than poll test than bull 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:03.760 Connor and actual Jim Crow segregation, and somehow analogous to 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.880 the Civil War. That's what the President of the United 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:12.080 States said yesterday. What utter nonsense. It would be life 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:17.920 out loud funny if it wasn't so completely and totally irresponsible. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.880 It was absolute bullcrap. I mean, at a crazy level, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.800 the Biden's speech. But this is how I think it 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.840 ties in at some level to the pandemic, And this 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.520 is how I think it's we need to understand what 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:38.320 we're really dealing with the with these democrats. This pandemic 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.120 has shown us that there are a lot of Democrats 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.800 who are are deeply mentally unstable, and over the course 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.680 of the four years of the Trump presidency, they were 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:53.720 conditioned to believe in whatever great enemy the Democrat apparatus 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.000 tells them they have. So that was something that they 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.920 were being told, right that it was Donald Trump Russia collusion. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.560 And so now they have this need to believe. But 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:08.160 there is an existential and imminent threat and the only 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.960 way to combat it is to do exactly what their 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:18.000 Democrat overlords tell them. And that's where this Jim Crow 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:23.400 two point zero worst challenged since the Civil War comes in. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:30.800 And also after COVID, right, people have gotten so riddled 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.800 with anxiety because they believe the Democrat narrative, which wasn't 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.440 that the COVID, Remember, was not the primary threat for 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.600 Democrats in twenty twenty. Trump's handling of COVID was the 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.680 primary threat as far as Democrats were concerned in twenty twenty. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.720 And so now the people who are really at some 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.600 level just psychologically and emotionally broken, and I mean millions 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.400 and millions of them, they're Democrats and they need to 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.640 be told what the next great enemy is. It's not 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.000 it's not some foreign external enemy. It's not people that 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.960 want to destroy the United States, take us over, enslavist, 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.480 none of that. Now. The real enemy, of course, comes 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:15.840 from within. Democrats don't actually have external enemies. External enemies 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.400 are always just an opportunity for an alliance against Republicans. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:24.760 So every external enemy to the United States, Russia, China, Iran, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:30.079 you name it is an opportunity. It's an opportunity to 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:36.240 pick up an ally to bludgeon the primary adversary of 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:42.160 the leftist Marxist in America, the right Conservatives, people like 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.320 you and me. And that's how you end up having 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:51.160 joy read over at MSNBC. Who is just leading the 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.760 charge on the most crazy stuff you can possibly say 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.920 about the GOP play for what is happening to the 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.559 Republican Party? Our country, our democracy is currently under siege 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.479 by one of our two major political parties, one controlled 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.720 by a twice impeached, one term president who's more Jim 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.520 Jones than George Washington, A party that thinks so Donald 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.200 Trump's rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, white grievance, and an 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:23.120 unquenchable first for absolute power embraces causes that were once 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.760 viewed as fringe things like abortion, bounty hunting, now the 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:32.240 law in Texas banning books, really any idea that doesn't 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.840 render every single white American in history going all the 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.400 way back to sixteen nineteen and right up to today 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.760 as innocent and benevolent, even as a noose literally hung 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.240 outside the US capital just six months ago. It's a 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:50.679 party that's committed to turning it up. I mean, does 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.040 anyone try to ban books that say that, that say 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.439 anything about bad about any white person throughout history? This 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.079 is this is idiocy. But she's got about a million 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.720 people watching that show, maybe more. They believe it. They 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.600 think it's true. They think that everybody who doesn't buy 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:12.360 into that is a bad person. They think that anybody 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:17.360 who's not on board for this is a major threat 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.040 to the Republic. And they think in those terms too. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.520 They think in terms of threat. You know what the 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.320 real threat is these days, folks? She said, Oh, the 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:31.200 country's under siege. Really, we're under siege from Republicans. Are 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.920 what have we been doing lately? I mean, not enough 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.480 if you ask me, But what have we been doing? No? 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.960 The real threat we're under right now, if we're looking 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:44.040 at something that's serious, is well other than a Marxist 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.480 authoritarian takeover of our entire society and government by the 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.440 lunatics that are calling themselves democrats for now. Other than that, 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.280 you have inflation, which is a very serious concern. And 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.640 I know the word inflation. It sounds like what you 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.160 do for your bicycle tire, right, It's just not that, 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:07.120 it's not visceral, it's not scary. Inflation is so destructive 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:12.000 to the economy. Inflation steals your peace of mind, steals 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.440 your wages, steals your ability to provide for yourself and 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:20.199 your family comfortably. And here's what the FED share Jerome 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.839 Powell was saying about it, play three. First of all, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.880 you're right, the incoming inflation data have been higher than 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.199 expected and hoped for, but they're actually still consistent with 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.800 with what we've been talking about. That the very high 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:37.520 inflation readings are coming from a small group of goods 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.240 and services that are directly tied to the reopening of 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:44.240 the economy. It's it's new cars, used cars, rental cars, 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.040 hotel rooms, you know, airplane tickets, things that we understand. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.160 How connection with all respect Jam Powell, I mean, it's 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:55.679 it's it's housing, it's appliances, it's food prices, it's electricity, 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.080 it's gas. Tell me to what extent is the Federals 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:05.240 are willing to see consumer prices increased before intervention is necessary. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:10.760 We are monitoring the situation very carefully, and we are 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.720 committed to price stability. And if we if we were 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:18.600 to see that inflation were remaining high and remaining materially 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.760 higher above our target for a period of time, and 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:27.000 that it was threatening to uproot inflation expectations and create 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.920 a risk of a longer period of inflation, and we 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:36.280 would absolutely change our policy as appropriate. Yeah, they're watching it, 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.439 nothing to worry about, they're watching it. Sure. Yeah, the 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.920 when when you're talking about just the reopened things and 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:51.480 its gas, food shelter, that's pretty important. Inflation, it's pretty important, 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.240 would you know, lumber for building homes. This is what 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.640 happens when you have a government apparatus that thinks that 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.840 they can it can spend whatever wants to spend. And 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:05.480 that is the belief. Even even crazy Bernie Sanders is 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.839 running around saying that inflation is a problem. But his 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:17.760 answer to inflation the tax you up the wazoo play eleven. Well, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.400 I am concerned about inflation. Among many other things. As 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.240 I think you know, this bill, this three and a 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.080 half trillion and then there's another six hundred billion in 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.480 a so called bipartisan infrastructure bill, will pay for itself. 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.200 It'll be paid for in a variety of ways, but 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.800 significantly by higher taxes on the wealthy and large corporations. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:43.720 So that should not add to the inflation concerns. We're 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.520 just going to tax them a lot. We're going to 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.160 take all the taxes, and it's not going to be 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:54.280 a problem for the working class. The oligarchs will pay 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.600 for it. This is what you're told. It's not true, 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.920 but who cares. You know what else you're told that 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.320 making a few percent a year with a financial advisor 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.440 who's also taken a cut on top of that is 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.720 necessary if you want to make any money the markets. 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:13.200 That's just not true. All you need is carnivore trading, okay, 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.040 Because everyday folks like you are crushing it there. They 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.840 call them carnivores.

I am delighted to join you. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.280 Thank you. What should we be doing right now and 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.400 what should the administration, notably be doing about the situation 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:26.040 unfolding in Cuba. Well, first of all, the American people 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.680 need to know and the administration needs to come out 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.080 and say Look, this is a fight for freedom. These 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.440 are people that have been under a dictator for sixty 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:42.240 two years and they have no food, no water, no electricity, 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:47.760 no jobs, and they want their freedom. And we're going 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.480 to stand with the people of Cuba, and by the way, 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.920 to the Cuban president, we're going to continue sanctions. We're 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.400 going to sanction bad actors, and if you start firing 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.200 shots into these crowds, all options will be on the table. 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:10.320 Are you surprised at the Biden administrations shall we say, 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.479 lack of decisiveness? I mean, is there any pressure you 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.600 think on this White House that may get them to 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:23.920 move with a little more clarity. I talked to Tennesseeans 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:30.640 every day, but they are so frustrated with this administration. 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.879 They thought they were going to have somebody who was 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:38.119 a moderate, who was going to stand up to bad 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:42.439 actors around the globe, and what they have seen is 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:49.159 someone who seems to enjoy putting in place issues and 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:55.320 policies that divide, that diminish our freedoms. And there's a 0:17:55.320 --> 0:18:00.400 lot of buyers remorse out there. So therefore, I am 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.600 not surprised that they have been so hesitant. You know, 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.359 look at their policies. They've had a choice time and 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:14.080 again to either say America first or America last. And 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:19.440 what they do is they make decisions that put America last. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.800 But look at it in relation to the Chinese Communist Party, 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:28.879 they've made decisions about not finding out about the origins 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:33.639 of COVID nineteen, not holding US companies to account that 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:38.240 are doing business in China, companies like Nike and Apple 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:44.800 and the NBA. They have had the opportunity to be 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:50.520 firm against Iran, but instead what are they doing. They're saying, well, 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:55.040 let's talk about maybe going back into the Iran nuclear deal. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:59.600 And when it comes to Cuba, they are not saying 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:04.719 we are against the Cuban Communist Party and this regime 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.200 and they need to come out and do that. We're 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.480 speaking of Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator, I wanted 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:16.120 to get you to help help everyone understand here what's 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.840 going on with this budget bill. The Democrats want to 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:24.720 push through four point one trillion in new spending is 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.280 the figure that we are seeing. What is what's going 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.359 on here? I mean, there's I have a few questions 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.600 to ask you about this, But first off, will they 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.720 be able with only Democrat votes, they can get this through. 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.640 Is that correct. Yes, they're going to try to push 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:43.280 this three and a half trillion dollars of the new 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:49.320 unpaid for spending through. Now they're trying to say, well, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.800 a lot of it has to do with infrastructure, but 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:58.760 they're in mind the president and a bipartisan group had 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:06.400 decided to take do infrastructure separately, and then this would 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.640 be three and a half trillion dollars in new spending 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:13.520 on top of all of this, and we've got about 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:19.480 seven hundred billion dollars left over in COVID money that 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:25.840 has not been reappropriated, that has not been utilized, that 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.679 could be utilized, but oh no, they don't want to 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.400 do that. They want to run up the debt and 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:38.160 then put future generations in servitude to the federal government 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.959 to pay off this debt. So what would it mean 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.720 for them to use reconciliation. I mean, that's the part 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:46.840 of this I think the public we hear, okay, there's 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.480 there's what can be blocked with the filibuster, but a 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.959 budgetary measure can't be blocked by the filibuster, and then 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:57.040 a budgetary measure can have reconciliation I mean, how how 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.880 much can they just ram this through without Republicans being 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:03.440 able to stop. Well, here's where the dividing line is. 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:08.800 They cannot put new federal law in place through a 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:14.480 budget reconciliation component. So that is why you're seeing some 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.080 things have to stand alone and get a vote. When 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:22.080 it comes to appropriating money to pay for programs that 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.960 are already on the books, then of course they can 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:30.920 do that through budget reconciliation. What we're trying to do 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:36.560 is to remind all hardworking taxpayers out there, you need 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.600 to be weighing in with your members of the House 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.919 and Senate. You need to let them know this is 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:47.560 not okay and that you are not going to be 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.120 supportive of this. They need to hear from you because 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:55.879 we've got twenty twenty two midterms coming up, and they 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:59.639 are all looking over their shoulder to see who is 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:04.080 paid attention. What's in I know it's I'm sure with 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.680 three point five trillion, then an additional infrastructure spending. Right, 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.439 that's the way people are reporting on it. What are 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:14.240 some of the key things, Senator Blackburn that are in 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:17.439 this that people should because I see things about a 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:21.080 lot of climate change, green new deal kind of stuff. 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:25.120 I mean, what are we where's this money supposed to go? Yeah, 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:28.400 and here's the thing. They backed out anything to do 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:34.800 with roads, bridges, highways, railways, runways, and broadband. All of 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:39.119 that would be over in the one point to trillion 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:43.920 dollars by partisan bill. And I think you've got about 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:49.040 eight Republicans and two or three Democrats that are for 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:54.240 that measure working on that that measure. So that's one 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:58.920 point two trillion. This three point five trillion that they 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:03.520 are saying would to infrastructure. You're exactly right. It's money 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:07.720 for the Green New Deal, it is money to grow 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:15.560 the unions, it is money for green energy, it is 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:21.800 money for childcare and for elder care. They're now calling 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:25.560 all of that infrastructure. But it is not what you 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:32.119 think of as roads, bridges, highways, railways, waterways, runways, and 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:36.119 broad bands. What would a reasonable I mean to your mind, 0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:39.199 and taking into account that we're at over twenty eight 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.359 trillion dollars in debt and their concerns about inflation, and 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:46.000 as you mentioned, this is really taking money and making 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.919 it so that future generations of Americans will have to 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:53.280 deal with the financial financial burden here. But what what 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:58.800 is the what would a reasonable bill look like. A 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:03.800 reasonable would be what we passed out of the Commerce, Science, 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:11.240 and Transportation Committee, which was surface transportation, and it was 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:15.119 about three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Now, that is 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:19.439 addressing the needs that people tell us they want to see. 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:25.600 Address three hundred and fifty billion versus three point five trillion. 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:30.400 There's definitely a definitely a gap there, Senator Blackburn, We're 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:33.880 telling everybody, call in, tell your congressman, tell your senator. 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:37.800 This is too much, too crazy. Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee, 0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.120 always appreciate you stopping by with us. Thank you so much. 0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:44.320 Thank you. More political insights coming up here from our 0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:49.720 friend mister Ryan Gerdusky. He is the author of They're 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.640 Not Listening How the Elites created a National Populist Revolution, 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:56.399 and he is a political consultant man who knows some 0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:59.080 things about some stuff. Ryan, great to have you, Thanks 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:03.080 for having me. Okay, so we just had Senator Marsha 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:06.560 Blackbird on today talking about the budget bill and what 0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:10.280 Democrats are trying to do here. I mean, they Republicans said, Okay, infrastructure, 0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.840 it's been three hundred and fifty billion dollars on infrastructure, 0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:14.480 which sounds like a lot of money to me, But 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.400 what do I know? Democrats want the three point five 0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.600 trillion plus, then I think it's six hundred billion on 0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.560 top of it for additional infrastructure or something. It's a 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:27.680 crazy amount of money that's built into it. But tell 0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:31.760 me about how amnesty comes into this equation. So it 0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.879 was announced just yesterday that Senator Joe Mansion was going 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:39.840 to go forward with an amnesty bill that would give 0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:43.240 amnesty basically the six million plus illegal aliens. They include 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:47.720 DOCTA recipients, farm workers, quote unquote essential service workers, that 0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:51.040 includes any restaurant worker as an essential service worker, and 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.399 anyone who's lost their job from COVID nineteen. It's gonna 0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:58.360 be a massive behemoth of an amnesty bill snuck inside 0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:03.200 the budget which is never ever ever even been attempted before, 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:06.600 let alone done. And the budget bill, mind you, is 0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.960 only fifty one votes to pass. Fifty Democrats plus Kamala 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.720 Harris Um. That's what they're looking at, and it will 0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.919 be a massive six a million plus person amnesty if 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.480 they get this. Throw Wait, but how how could that be? 0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:20.840 Because when we spoke to the Center, I said, okay, 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:24.200 they can basically the power of the purse, right, whether 0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:27.280 they're spending a dollar or a trillion dollars, Senate gets 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.880 to determine that and that and that can be done 0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:33.200 through the through a simple majority vote, or even through 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:35.720 the budget reconciliation process when they kind of go in 0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.800 the back end and address it. Whatever that means. How 0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.800 can they do amnesty, because you know, amnesty is not 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.960 we're spending more money on it's it's changing US federal law, right, 0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.639 So how does that work in So the way that 0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.000
