1
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: Good evening, America, and welcome to this Just the News,

2
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice special report the Trump two point zero

3
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: Promise for Seniors and Young Americans. Tonight, in partnership with

4
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: our sponsor, the Association of Mature American Citizens or AMAC

5
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: as you better know them, we're going to explore two

6
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: major issues that a new Trump administration is likely to fix.

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: What affects seniors, the core constituency of AMAC Americans over

8
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: the age of fifty. The other aims to solve crises

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: affecting the next generation of American leaders. It's so fitting

10
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: that AMAC is our partner for tonight's conversation because over

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: the last year, it made enormous efforts to bring older

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: generations of America together with younger generations to create a

13
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: powerful new coalition coalition not only to win the election,

14
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: but also to forge a grassroots army that can make

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: sure we can fix America's problems starting next year in

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Over the course of the next hour,

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to leaders on the front lines

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: of these battles, including the chairman of the powerful Houseways

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: and Means Committee, Jason Smith. He's going to help us

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: understand how a disaster created by the Biden Harris Inflation

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: Reduction Act.

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 2: A lot of people think it was the Inflation.

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Augmentation Act, but he created a crisis for Medicare Party recipients.

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: As we reported, seniors are in danger seeing massive rises

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: in their premiums for Medicare Party insurance premiums pretty soon

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: because of policy bunders made by the Biden Harris administration.

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden had those problems swept under the rug and

28
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: hide them from voters before the election by spending five

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: billion dollars in subsidies to have insurers temporarily stop premium increases.

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: But those premium increases are indeed on the horizon and

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: the problem doesn't go away.

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: So we're going to dive into how we're going to

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: fix it.

34
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: We're also going to talk to some of the leaders

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: advocating for the elimination of the US Department Education and

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: sending block grant money back to the states, getting federal

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: officials out of the business of education and returning that

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: role to states and communities, and of course parents. Our

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: guests will include the Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ryan Walters,

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: and a mom at the forefront of fighting to end

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: the agency in return power to parents. But before we

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: get started on this journey tonight, I'd like to bring

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: in my amazing co host for the evening, the CEO

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: of AMAC, Rebecca Weber. Rebecca, great to have you on

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: for tonight's discussion.

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: John, It's terrific to be here with you, and what

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: important topics we will be covering. Medicare and the welfare

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 3: of the program is really at the forefront of so

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: many Americans, and we saw the disastrous effects of the

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: Inflation Reduction Act that actually is going to in the

51
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: future we believe cause premium increases and reduce access to

52
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 3: life saving medicines for drugs for seniors. So this is

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: an issue that we're very excited to learn how our

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: guests today, what they have in mind, and to help

55
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 3: push back against these bad policies that really are burdened

56
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: by American seniors across the country. Another issue very important

57
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 3: to AMAC members and all Americans is that of our

58
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: children and the education that they currently get under our

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: current public education system.

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: I was thrilled to hear that Donald J.

61
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: Trump does want to really reinvent American education so sorely needed.

62
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 3: So looking forward to talking to some incredible guests who

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: can shine some light on really good changes that we

64
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: believe are near to come.

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's really important to remindful of AMAC was

66
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: at the forefront of both of these issues. It was

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: your investigative work that uncovered this problem with the premium

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: increase and also the cover up that Joe Biden did

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: by temporarily sending some money to keep the premiums down until.

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: After the election.

71
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: And also you were one of the earliest groups to

72
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: get out there and say it's time to get rid

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: of the Education Department, return it back to the States.

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: That moment, all that work that AMAC put in is

75
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: now at the moment of history. It's going to happen

76
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: next year, most likely under President elect Trump.

77
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: So a very exciting time.

78
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: In a big shout out to all of the great

79
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: two million plus members of AMAC and Rebecca you personally,

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: because your group has done so much to make these

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: two things happen.

82
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: Another issue that we're really focused on is Social Security.

84
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: John.

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: We think that Congress needs to enact legislation that's going

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: to either eliminate taxation on Social Security or at the

87
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 3: very least increase the income thresholds. It's not fair that

88
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: American seniors are being so heavily taxed. Older seniors living

89
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: on a fixed income. They need to be protected. So

90
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: we're here to dig into that even a little bit deeper,

91
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: and a lot of work to come in twenty twenty

92
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: five looking out for all Americans, but especially those fifty plus.

93
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: You know what, that conversation is perfect for time, because

94
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: our first guest is going to be at the forefront

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: of all three of these very big battles. He's the

96
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: chairman of the tax riding houseways it means to be

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful people in Congress, He's also

98
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: a man who brings common sense to the job. Today,

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: Chairman Jason Smith, they're good to.

100
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: Have you on.

101
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: It's great to be with you John.

102
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: As always, Thank you, Sarah.

103
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: We've been doing some reporting along with a MAC and

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: others to highlight this little ruse that the Biden Harris

105
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: administration did a couple of years ago. They took some

106
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: money from Medicare spent it on green energy stuff. Now,

107
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we discovered it's going to result

108
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: in a massive increase in Part D premiums for Medicare recipients.

109
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: Joe Biden tried to hide it from the election, put

110
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: some five million dollars in subsidies just to keep the

111
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: increases past the election. I know you're on top of

112
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: this case. How do we fix this? And how bad

113
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: was the Biden cover up?

114
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: John?

115
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: You're exactly right. We've seen a lot of Biden cover ups,

116
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 5: as you have reported. But let's just say this. We

117
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 5: saw the Biden Harris administration raid Medicare in the hundreds

118
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 5: of billions of dollars in what they refer to as

119
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: the Inflation Reduction Act. I call it the Inflation Expansion Act.

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 5: And inflation's only gone up since they passed that legislation.

121
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 5: But what they did they put measures in place rating Medicare,

122
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 5: and now who's going to pay? Seniors are going to

123
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 5: pay with higher premiums. But you know what, they tried

124
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 5: to hide it before the election. They put through five

125
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 5: billion dollars five plus billion dollars two insurance companies to

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 5: prevent those premiums to go up before the election. The

127
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 5: election's over with now, now the seniors are going to

128
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 5: see the real damage that the Biden Harris administration has

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 5: done to their pocketbooks.

130
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: Yes, and the Congressional Budget Office.

131
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: They their report suggests that this cost shifting policy will

132
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: push Medicare costs directly onto taxpayers. So many critics argued

133
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: that the recent Medicare cost reduction measures were really aimed

134
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: at election year gains, but they undermine the Medicare's fiscal stabilities.

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 3: So my question, sir, is how does the next administration

136
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: regain the trust of seniors and the trust that I

137
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: have in the Medicare system.

138
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 5: I think if you look, seniors do trust the incoming president,

139
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 5: the forty seventh President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,

140
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 5: because he's been there before, and we saw that whenever

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 5: he was in the White House, he protect and preserves

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: Social Security and Medicare. He campaigned on that, he follows

143
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: through on his campaign promises, unlike a lot of other

144
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 5: politicians that I've served with, And I am so excited

145
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: about his opportunity and I'm so excited about his cabinet

146
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: that he's creating. He is he is announcing and appointing

147
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: stellar individuals that's going to make America even greater than

148
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: it has ever been.

149
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: Sir, as you I want to talk, go ahead, Sorry,

150
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: thank you, No, I wanted to talk a little about

151
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: Social Security benefits and whether those benefits they are subject

152
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: to federal income tax you know, based on your income,

153
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: but the income thresholds are quite low, for example, as

154
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: low as thirty two twenty five thousand if you're single.

155
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: My question really is for those who are living on

156
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: fixed incomes. They're saying the income thresholds should be increased,

157
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: or we should eliminate altogether taxation on Social Security benefits.

158
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: Your thoughts.

159
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 5: You know, for one, We'll be using reconciliation to extend

160
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 5: Trump's tax cuts to make sure that they don't expire,

161
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 5: and also to address other tax provisions of President Trump

162
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: campaigned on, like no tax on tips. In regards to

163
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: the Social Security tax, it cannot be in reconciliation under

164
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 5: the law, social Security is not allowed to be there. However,

165
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 5: I believe that we can definitely help seniors with their taxes.

166
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: So we could use the tax code in a way

167
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 5: to help reduce the taxes that seniors pay. Because what

168
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 5: you're talking about is exactly right. Seniors have not seen

169
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 5: any increase on the thresholds for their taxation. In the

170
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 5: early nineteen eighties, it was twenty five thousand dollars per

171
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 5: person thirty two thousand for a married couple. There was

172
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 5: a marriage penalty. In fact, that has not changed in

173
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 5: forty years. Inflation has gone up a lot in forty years.

174
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 5: So we're going to have to figure out ways of

175
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 5: helping address and help those seniors who who have been

176
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: wrongfully served for forty years.

177
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: So you mentioned something important. You're going to try to

178
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: tackle some of this in reconciliation. Does that reconciliation occur

179
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: in December, even before President Trump takes office or do

180
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: you do it after the forty seventh president is on

181
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: the job.

182
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 5: John, We've been working since April to prepare for this time.

183
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: I was crucified by the press saying why are you

184
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 5: doing these tax teams that are focused on reconciliation and

185
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 5: a trifecta government. It's because I believe that Donald Trump

186
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: would win. I believe that the Repupblicans would win the House,

187
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 5: and I believe that Republicans would win the Senate, and

188
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: we needed to be prepared to govern. I'll tell you

189
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 5: the Ways and Means Committee is ready on day one

190
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: in the next Congress. But we're going to continue to

191
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: work the next two months to make sure all of

192
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: our ducks in a row. Of course, there's a process

193
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 5: that it has to pass a budget resolution first, that's

194
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 5: another committee. But the Ways and Means Committee, I can

195
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 5: tell you it was ready to follow lockstep and key

196
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: to make sure that me make this economy turn into

197
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 5: a thriving, raging engine like the best economy in my lifetime.

198
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: When Donald Trump was last president.

199
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: Good point.

200
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: You know, just last evening I was speaking with a

201
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: gentleman at a restaurant.

202
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: He said, I voted Donald J. Trump because of the no.

203
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: Tax on tips, very very popular among so many Americans.

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: What needs to happen before, you know, those who are

205
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: earning income via tips, before they can see no tax

206
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: on tips. How soon do you think that'll become a reality.

207
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 5: It's whenever we pass our tax legislation. I have said

208
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: that there will not be a tax bill that will

209
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 5: leave the House of Representatives that does not have that

210
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 5: no tax on tips. It's in the Republican Party platform,

211
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: it's a big priority of President Trump, and it will

212
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 5: be in the tax bill when it comes out of

213
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 5: the House the early part of next year.

214
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: And then I know you touched on this, sir, but

215
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: the Trump tax cuts, they're not in danger spire, and

216
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: you're going to make sure that those get extended into

217
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: the future.

218
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: Right.

219
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: I will not rest John. I will not allow a

220
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 5: seven trillion dollar tax increase on small businesses. Every single

221
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: American John will face a tax increase if Congress does

222
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 5: not do their job, and I'm not going to allow

223
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: that to happen under my watch.

224
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, very important stuff.

225
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And a lot of Americans are really concerned about transparency.

226
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: They see how the left has been spending taxpayer dollars

227
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: on nonsensical things.

228
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 4: What do you think should be done.

229
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: To really provide adequate transparency to Americans in this next administration.

230
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 5: The more transparency and government, the better. I'm so excited

231
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 5: about what President Trump has done putting Elon Musk and

232
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 5: Vivic in charge of looking at government waste and ripping

233
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: it out. It's good to have people outside of government

234
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 5: to come in successful people outside of government to get

235
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 5: rid of waste in our country. We don't have a

236
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: revenue problem. We have a spending problem. If you just

237
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: look at how the GDP has increased in spending over

238
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 5: the last several years, it's truly a spending problem. Our

239
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: revenues have continued to increase and has stayed stable where

240
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 5: it's always been in our country's the GDP's ratio.

241
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and getting that under control is going to be

242
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: one of the exciting The economy will explode when that

243
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: is achieved.

244
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: I know you're determined to get there.

245
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: I want to ask about one other big issue that

246
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: I think you have spent a lot of time on it,

247
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of Americans are wunning.

248
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: Where does it go?

249
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money that Biden appropriated in all

250
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: these different massive spending bills.

251
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: It hasn't all been spent. I don't think they got

252
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: enough time.

253
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: And though the Democrats will try to spend like drunken sailors,

254
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: is there an opportunity to claw back some money and

255
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: take that money, put it towards Social Security and Medicare

256
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: safeness or other things, to reclaim it for the taxpayer

257
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: before it gets wasted.

258
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 5: We absolutely need to rescind a lot of these slush

259
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 5: funds that was made for and by the Inflation Reduction

260
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 5: Act and also the American Rescue Plan. That the money

261
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 5: is out there, we need to bring it back and

262
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 5: give it and pay off debt, pay off deficits, give

263
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 5: it back to people. In regards to less taxes that

264
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 5: they're going to be paying the government.

265
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to be a welcome moment, going to

266
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: be a welcome moment.

267
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: And when you mentioned, when you say giving it to

268
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: less people, a lot of Americans are concerned about the

269
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: number of illegals entering the US and whether or not

270
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: they will have access to Medicare and Social Security benefits.

271
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: Is that a real concern.

272
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: It's a it's a real concern of Joss. The disaster

273
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 5: that we have seen at the southern border because of

274
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 5: the Biden Harris administration. I am so excited to see

275
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 5: my good friend Governor Christy nom to be named as

276
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 5: the Secretary of Homeland Security. She's done a wonderful job

277
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 5: in her state of South Dakota. She is going to

278
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: do an incredible job at making sure that the Secret

279
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 5: Service is protecting our president, making sure our border is controlled,

280
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 5: and making sure that the laws are enforced. Unfortunately, the

281
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 5: current administration has not been enforcing any of the laws.

282
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: And we also need to make sure that tax dollars

283
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 5: are not going tax dollars are not going for illegal immigrants.

284
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: We should have tax dollars being priorities of US citizens

285
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: not non citizens.

286
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Such a novel and great idea. It used to be

287
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: that way, Sir. I was on an Uber ride the

288
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: other day in Arizona and the driver her name was Karen,

289
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: and she just wanted to me to let you know

290
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: how proud she was that you stood with those I

291
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: r S whistleblowers and you got the truth out about

292
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: the Biden family corruption case. That's a personal thank you

293
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: from an Uber driver in Arizona. We think every time

294
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: you come on the show. It's always great to have

295
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: you on, sir.

296
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: Thank you, John.

297
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: It's just about good government and making sure people's held accountable.

298
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 5: Appreciate your reporting.

299
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,680
