Thank you for being with us. I'll be honest, 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: I've been pretty shocked at the amount of coverage over 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: the fact that I announced on Tuesday that I am 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: no longer a New York resident. I am a full 27 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: time resident of the Free State of Florida. I stated 28 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: the obvious reasons and the reason why so many other 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: people have given for wanting to be in a state 30 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: that has less bureaucracy, more freedom, lower taxes, a better way, 31 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: better way of living. Is so many good reasons, and frankly, 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: for the first time in my adult life, I have 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: a governor that I'm proud to say is my governor, 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: and senators that I'm proud to say are my senators 35 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: and representatives that I actually respect anyway, Governor Ron de 36 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: Santis is with us now. Governor, I'm proud to be 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: to say that you are now my governor. 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 7: Oh we've got You've got your own Southern Command now 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 7: down there in sunny South Florida. And I know, I 40 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 7: know Rushed didn't regret the move, and I know you 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 7: won't either. So I'm glad that glad that you're there. 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 7: You and I have been talking about this for years. 43 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 7: I know it's not that easy to just pick up 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 7: and leave when you got a lot of obligations, but 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 7: you know, we knew this day would come and so welcome. 46 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: Well, I really appreciate it. It's so funny because I 47 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: think the last time I had mentioned it to you 48 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: that it's real. This time you rolled your eyes. I'm like, 49 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. But I had 50 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: I've been saying it for the longest time that I 51 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: wanted to have had a residence in Florida over twenty 52 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: five thirty years at least somewhere. I'm glad I made 53 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: the move, and I'm glad to be living in I 54 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: think the free estate in the country at this point. 55 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: Let me play something for you, because this got interesting. 56 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: What's up? 57 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 7: So, just to put in perspective, though New York Florida, 58 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 7: so New York. Now, New York has millions fewer people 59 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 7: than we do in Florida, and yet our budget is 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 7: half the size of New York's. We have the lowest 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 7: number of state workers per capita in the country, and 62 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 7: yet when people move from New York to Florida, they 63 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 7: tell me our infrastructure is better, our services are more efficient, 64 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 7: and our schools are better. So what are you getting 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 7: for all the taxes you're paying in there? We're doing 66 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 7: better at half the cost servicing even more people. So 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 7: they're just doing it wrong, and they're in a vicious 68 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 7: cycle where they keep wanting to tax people more, and. 69 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: In this mass migration out of states like California and 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: New York and New Jersey and Illinois and Michigan just continues. 71 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: I mean, people leaving with their feet. By the way, 72 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: there wasn't when I was on vacation, there wasn't a 73 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: single day that went by that people weren't talking about 74 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: the debate with you and Gaven Neuwsom, did you get 75 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: the same reaction? 76 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 7: That's been good? I think that. I mean you and 77 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 7: I talked about how many people watched and when you 78 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 7: count streaming and all this other stuff that I think 79 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 7: you think it was an excess of ten million people. 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 7: So that is probably more than just about any Republican debate. 81 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 7: Maybe the first Fox debate primary debate had more. But 82 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 7: I think people appreciated to be able to see a 83 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 7: very sharp contrast, and you know, people appreciated, oh, you know, 84 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 7: you did well. They tell me, you know, you really 85 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 7: handled him. And look, I think a lot of it 86 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 7: is just because conservative policies work and leftism doesn't. And 87 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 7: so he was at a big disadvantage because he's defending 88 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 7: the indefensible, and he did his best to just try 89 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 7: to gaslight everybody. But it was interesting, Sean. I was 90 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 7: in Northwest Iowa about a week after we did the 91 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 7: debate and a gentleman came up to me and he's 92 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 7: just like, you really did a number on Gavin Newsom. 93 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 7: And then he just paused and he said, nobody believes 94 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 7: that California has lower taxes than Florida. Nobody believes that. 95 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 7: He's I think that if you try to gaslight people 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 7: like Sean, we know people have fled California because of 97 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 7: the crime problem. We know they have a homeless problem, 98 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 7: we know they have a tax problem. Like we know that. 99 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 7: So for him to try to say that what people 100 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 7: have been seeing all these years isn't true, it just 101 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 7: lost credibility. And you know, it was a good, good opportunity. 102 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 3: So I had fun doing it. 103 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 7: And you know, he had said he would do within 104 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 7: twenty four hours to you. Then you came to me. 105 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 7: I accepted, and it was like pulling teeth to get 106 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 7: him to finally show up. But I'm glad that he 107 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 7: finally did. No. 108 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: I am too, And actually, if you look at people 109 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: that saw at least some part of the debate, well 110 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: over twenty million when you factor in oh yeah, online viewing. 111 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: Let me play one thing for you, and then we 112 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: could talk about presidential politics because this was now said 113 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: by the last two governors in New York. We'll start 114 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: with the current governor, and that's Kathy Hulkl and then 115 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: I'll play comments by then go or Cuomo because I 116 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: think they're really revealing they're actually telling conservatives to leave. 117 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: And finally I just said, Okay, I get the hint. 118 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm not like you don't want me here, I'll I'll 119 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: take my business elsewhere, and I'm proud to bring it 120 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: down here to the great state of Florida. But I 121 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: just want to get your reaction to the things they 122 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: say here. 123 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 4: We're here to say that the era of Trump and 124 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 4: Zelden and mon Arrow. Just jump on a bus and 125 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: head down to Florida where you belong. Okay, get out 126 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 4: of town. Get out of town, because you don't read, 127 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 4: you don't represent our values. 128 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: You are not New Yorkers. 129 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 7: Hip problem is not me and the Democrats problem themselves 130 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 7: is that who they are. 131 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 5: Because if that's who they are, and if they have 132 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 5: the extreme conservatives. 133 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 7: They had no place in the state of New York citizens. 134 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 6: That's not who New Yorkers are. 135 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 8: We have one of the most progressive tax codes in 136 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 8: the United States, which is a good thing, which means 137 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 8: the richer you are, the more you pay. However, that 138 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 8: presents a very fragile economy because then you are relying 139 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 8: on a very small number of people for the vast 140 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 8: amount of your tax dollars. One percent of the taxpayers 141 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 8: pay nearly half of all the taxes. One percent pay 142 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 8: nearly half of all those taxes. Those one percent are 143 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 8: the richest people in the state. They're the richest people 144 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 8: in the country, and they are the most mobile people 145 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 8: in the country. And you see the chart on the bottom, 146 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 8: top one percent, about forty six percent, top five percent, 147 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 8: sixty three percent of the revenue, top ten percent, seventy 148 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 8: four percent of all the revenue. 149 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: Tax the rich tax, the rich tax the rich. 150 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 8: We did now, God forbid, the rich leave. 151 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: I just want to get your reaction to that. Is 152 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: that about breathtaking to you? 153 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 7: I'll tell you. I remember when Hoko was telling people 154 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 7: to go to Florida, and you know, it just shows 155 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 7: what they want them left. They just want a one 156 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 7: party state. They don't want dissent. And even though their 157 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 7: policies are failing, they think that they are entitled to 158 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 7: continue to impose them on people. But when you're talking 159 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 7: about how you have mobile people, okay, well, what's the 160 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 7: response to that. If you want to have a lot 161 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 7: of investment and a lot of a good tax base 162 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 7: in your state, don't push people away with confiscatory taxes. 163 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 7: What they will do they will double down on the 164 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 7: policies that cause people to flee. And then what they'll 165 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 7: do is they'll hire revenue agents to surveil people to 166 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 7: see how many days they're in New York versus Florida 167 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 7: or wherever. And so they put all this energy into 168 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 7: trying to prop up the failed system that they have 169 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 7: rather than just try to do different policies. But I 170 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 7: will tell you this, son, because there is and when 171 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 7: high profile people move for a wealthy that does make news. 172 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 7: But I run into folks every day, you know as 173 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 7: governor who these are middle class folks. These are folks 174 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 7: that would be you know, FDN Y for twenty five years, 175 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 7: or NYPD or teachers, or we're small business people. They 176 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 7: have been pushed out. It is not just the uber 177 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 7: wealthy who have been pushed out. They've been pushed out 178 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 7: because education's gotten bad, crime has gotten bad. The government 179 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 7: COVID was a disaster how they handled that. So there 180 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 7: were all these different reasons why people have fled to 181 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 7: Florida and record numbers and we're still the number one 182 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 7: state in net in migration, you know, all these years 183 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 7: now that I've been governor. So yes, we've done it 184 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 7: right in Florida. But I do tell people part of 185 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 7: what we do is we're the refuge anytime of blue 186 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 7: state does dumb things in the state, were the state 187 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 7: that people want to flee to. 188 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, the numbers really speak volumes, but I mean, 189 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: for I used to I got very close to Rick Perry, 190 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: your predecessor Senator now Senator Scott Bobby Jendall. They were 191 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: up in New York all the time, and they'd always 192 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: come in and do radio or radio or TV with me, 193 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: and so I got to know them really well. They 194 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: were there and they were incentivizing businesses and telling them 195 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: to move to their states. It was like a competition 196 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: between the three of them. All Right, we're eleven days 197 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: out of Iowa. How do you assess the race? I 198 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: always look at Iowa's a state that is really it's 199 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: very unpredictable to me because it's a caucus state and 200 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: New Hampshire has this funky, you know system where people 201 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: that are independent can vote either in the Republican primary 202 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: Democratic primary. So those first two contests, you know, to me, 203 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: you're little unpredictable, more unpredictable than people think. 204 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 7: I think. The caucus. You know, typically polling hasn't done 205 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 7: a good job of showing the caucus results ahead of 206 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 7: time because a lot of this is about turnout. You 207 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 7: have to turn out your people, and it's a process 208 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 7: where they're going to be there for a couple hours. 209 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 7: People can give a speech about each candidate, they discuss, 210 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 7: people actually change their minds at the caucus site. And 211 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 7: so we've really worked hard on saying, okay, what's worked 212 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 7: in these caucuses before organization. We have there's sixteen hundred 213 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 7: and thirty precincts around the Iowa. We have over fifteen 214 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 7: hundred precinct captains that are going to be their manent 215 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 7: We're adding more every day. We have all ninety nine 216 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 7: counties organized, and so that ultimately I think is when 217 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 7: we have tens of thousands of people that have committed 218 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 7: to caucus for us already, and so I think the 219 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 7: weather's going to be very cold. It's not going to 220 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 7: be a cup of tea to just go to this. 221 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 7: So that's going to be the real committed people. And 222 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 7: I think we have people that are supporting us, that 223 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 7: are very committed that they participate in this caucus. This 224 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 7: is something that they believe in and that they're going 225 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 7: to show up. But really it's the name of the 226 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 7: game of doing that, of getting people to show up 227 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 7: and look. Part of what you have to do is 228 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 7: show up to their communities and talk to them, take questions. 229 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 7: And I've been doing that. I don't know if you saw. 230 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 7: NICKI Haley was in New Hampshire yesterday and she said 231 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 7: to a group of New Hampshire voters, she said, Iowa 232 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 7: starts it, but New Hampshire quote corrects it. And so 233 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 7: I think Iowa voters don't believe that they need to 234 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 7: be quote corrected. I think they see themselves as being 235 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 7: conservative with conservative values that the Republican Party is supposed 236 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 7: to stand for. So I've appreciated the Iowans that I've 237 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,359 Speaker 7: been able to meet along the way. These are hardworking folks, patriotic, 238 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 7: god fearin really the backbone of this country, and I 239 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 7: think for her to dismiss them like that, I think 240 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 7: was a huge mistake. But I do think it's indicative 241 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 7: of her approach to the Iowa caucus. You know, she's 242 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 7: raising money from like liberal Democrats on Wall Street and 243 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 7: in Silicon Valley, and they're spenting ungodly amounts of money 244 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 7: in Iowa. But that typically doesn't end up working because 245 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 7: Iowans want to see you, they want to shake your hand, 246 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 7: they want to be able to ask you the questions. 247 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 7: And I've been the one put in the work. 248 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, how do you assess? 249 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 7: You know? 250 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: Do do you believe the poll numbers? So are you? 251 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: And you're gonna have an opportunity to debate Nikki Haley 252 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: won on one next week? What do you suspect happens there? 253 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: Now? 254 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 7: Look, I think the one on one debate is great because, 255 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 7: I mean, you saw it with the new sum you 256 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 7: just get more time to be able to put out 257 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 7: your views and to respond and have have you know, 258 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 7: memorable moments when you have eight candidates, like the first 259 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 7: debate and seven like the next. It's almost like dueling 260 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 7: press conferences. So this will be good. I think it'll 261 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 7: be a good, good exchange. There'll definitely be a sharp 262 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 7: contrast in terms of us as candidates. I mean, you 263 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 7: have people like me as governor that have delivered on 264 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 7: all the things conservatives have asked for for years. Governor 265 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 7: Reynolds here in Iowa, who's endorsed me, she's delivered. You know, 266 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 7: Nikki Hailey just not delivered. That's just not what she did. 267 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 7: She was about bringing Chinese companies into South Carolina, and 268 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 7: that's what she focused on. We've been focusing on the 269 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 7: p issues. So I think people will be able to 270 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 7: see that. We're also going to be doing I'm doing 271 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 7: a town hall tonight in Iowa on CNN, and I'm 272 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 7: doing a town hall with Fox on Tuesday with with 273 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 7: Brett Baar and Martha McCallum. And then we'll have the 274 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 7: debate on January tenth. And then we've already committed to 275 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 7: a town hall in New Hampshire, a debate in New Hampshire. 276 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 7: And I know you, and i I've mentioned to you, 277 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 7: I'm gaining whatever you want to do, you know, let's 278 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 7: do something in New Hampshire. I think it'll be fun. 279 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was trying to set up a debate. How 280 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: do you how do you analyze? You? And President Trump 281 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: were ones very close, and I know he's gone hard 282 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: at you. I asked him the question, what happened once 283 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: from your perspective? What happened? 284 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: Oh? 285 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 7: What happened was I was doing well as governor, and 286 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 7: so he started attacking me because he viewed me as 287 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 7: a threat to his popularity. He attacked me before the 288 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 7: midterm elections, and then I won a resounding victory, the 289 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 7: biggest victory in the history of Florida for a governor's race. 290 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 7: And then he just kept tacking. Then they started spending 291 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 7: money attacking me on TV, millions and millions of dollars, 292 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 7: and I was just down in Florida doing my job. 293 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 7: And so that's fine. But I think, look, I mean, 294 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 7: I'm happy to see Republicans do well other governors. I 295 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 7: think most Republicans around the country were very happy to 296 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 7: see our leadership in Florida. He was not. And I 297 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 7: think it's more because he'd used it through the lens 298 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 7: of what's best for him, and a lot of it 299 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 7: is about his issues. That's not how I roll. I'm 300 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 7: a vessel for the issues of the people. I've got 301 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 7: to stand and deliver for them going forward. But you know, look, 302 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 7: I would like to see him on the debate stage. 303 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 7: I think he owes it to the voters to do it. 304 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 7: I don't think he obviously he's not going to do 305 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 7: one in Iowa. We'll see if Iowa. You know, if 306 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 7: he underperforms in Iowa, maybe he'll feel like he has 307 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 7: to do one in New Hampshire, South Carolina. But I mean, 308 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 7: I'm gamed for all of those. I think we need 309 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 7: to do it. But I do think this primary does 310 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 7: boil down to Donald Trump is running on his issues. 311 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 7: Dicky Haley's running on her donors issues. I'm running on 312 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 7: your issues, your family's issues, and the country's issues. That's 313 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 7: my sole focus. It's not about me. I'm the leader, 314 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 7: but it's not about entertainment right now of delivering results. 315 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: We're just running out of time. But eleven days to 316 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: go and the games begin. Thank you for your warm 317 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: and welcome, Governor. It's great to be in your state, 318 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: and we'll be watching the primaries closely.

I remain a big 347 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: believer in the Second Amendment. I've had a right to 348 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: carry my entire adult life. However, I'm looking at new 349 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: technology that's frankly blowing me away. And that's where the 350 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: company Burner comes in by RNA dot com as their 351 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: website slash Hannity. And what's amazing about Berner is they 352 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: have come up with a non lethal alternative to deal 353 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: with perpetrators if God forbid, they break into your home 354 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: or business and literally with their pistol. I I can 355 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: hit a target fifty feet away with ease, and it 356 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: releases two pepper sprays and tear gas and it will 357 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: incapacitate even the largest perpetrator that can ever break into 358 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: your house. It works that gives you time to get away, 359 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: and that gives you time to bring in help the police, etc. 360 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: But it just works. It is for me. It is 361 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: now a big part of my personal security strategies. I 362 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: think every America needs to look at this technology. I 363 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: think law enforcement needs to look at this technology and 364 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: include it because guess what if you make that ultimate 365 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: decision to use lethal force. Uh, then in a lot 366 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: of cases, in a lot of states, you have to 367 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: prove your innocence. It's crazy.

It's really a result of 391 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, even blaming believe it or not, Greg Abbott, 392 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: who's had to bear the brunt of their open border policies, 393 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: their unwillingness to enforce the laws of our land, and 394 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: their willingness to aid in a bet in law breaking. 395 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: But here's all the times we've been lied to. 396 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 7: Summons to most folks like a crisis. 397 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: Well, look it's way down. Now we've now gotten control. 398 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: Precisely that the border is closed. 399 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 6: Nor could I have been clearer and continued to be so. 400 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: Which is the border is closed. 401 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 5: The United States will continue to enforce our laws and 402 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 5: secure our border. 403 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: The border. We are working to make the border more secure. 404 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: You're confident this border secure. 405 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 5: We have a secure border, and that that is a 406 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 5: priority for any nation, including hours in our administration, we 407 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 5: agree that the border is secure. 408 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: So yesterday he's testifying, he's asked and then dodges issues 409 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: involving the Biden administration on the issue of simply why 410 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: did they end catch and release? And also, remember this 411 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: is a guy that can't give us a number. What 412 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: is the number of illegal immigrants that have come into 413 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: this country? Now, by all the estimates we have, we're 414 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: at eight point three million unvetted illegal immigrants that Joe 415 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: Biden has allowed into the country. Hundreds from the number 416 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: one state sponsor of terror, Iran, hundreds from their satellite 417 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: state Syria. We have three thousand plus thirty four hundred 418 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: from Egypt, home of the Muslim Brotherhood. You've got Afghanistan 419 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: over six thousand, home of al Qaeda, and we had 420 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: direct threats to New York City by al Qaida just 421 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: in the last week. Then, of course, twelve thousand from 422 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: Russia are number two geopolitical foe, and over twenty six 423 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: thousand from China. Well, I'm not really believing that all 424 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: these people showing up from all these countries that our 425 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: southern border are coming here because they want a better 426 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: life for themselves and their families. I'm not buying it 427 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: at all. But here's mayorcis dodging the issue of the 428 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: Biden administration and why did they end catch and release? 429 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: People are coming. The numbers have gone up tremendously, and 430 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: nothing in the White House's plan addresses what Republicans are 431 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 2: saying is so important. 432 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: Catch and release a phrase you hear. 433 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: What that means is people come across the border, they 434 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: claim asylum, and then they're allowed to stay in this 435 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: country for years while they wait for that process to 436 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: play out, years and years and years. 437 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: People know that's the game. 438 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: They know the bar for asylum is low, the claim 439 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: bar is low, and so they come. Are you doing anything? 440 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 2: Are you willing to do anything to stop the flow? 441 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 3: In that way, allow. 442 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: Me to finish my answer. 443 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 6: On the first day office, President Biden sent a legislative 444 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 6: proposal to Congress to fix what everyone agrees is a 445 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 6: broken immigration system. I have dealt with the immigration system, 446 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 6: first as a prosecutor in the nineteen nineties and then 447 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 6: as an administrator beginning in two thousand and nine, and 448 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 6: the year's long process that you describe has been a 449 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 6: problem in the immigration system ever since I've worked in it, 450 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 6: and everyone agrees that the system is broken, and what 451 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 6: we are doing is enforcing our laws. We are enforcing 452 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 6: our laws, the criminal laws, our immigration laws, and that 453 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 6: includes our asylum laws. And when people come to the 454 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 6: United States at the border, they are placed in immigration 455 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 6: enforcement proceedings, and those proceedings take many years because our 456 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 6: system is broken and it is also underfunded. 457 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: Unbelievable, because those policies worked. We did not have this 458 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: problem under President Trump anyway. Congresswoman Debbie LESCo is with us. 459 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: She's in Arizona's eighth congressional district. She sits on the 460 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Border Security Caucus. 461 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: As the Republican majority now moves towards impeachment inquiry and 462 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: impeachment inquiry into Mayorcis. Congress Woman, great to have you back. 463 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us, Thank. 464 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 3: You for having me Sean, and happy New Year to 465 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 3: you and your listeners. 466 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, Happy new year to you. Now, in states 467 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: like yours, a border state like Arizona, like a border 468 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: state like Texas, you have been bearing the brunt of 469 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's open border policies for those people that don't 470 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: completely comprehend how bad it is. Can you describe what 471 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: you have been seeing with your own eyes? 472 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, it's beyond insanity. What is happening at 473 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 3: our southern border. I visited the border in Arizona numerous times, 474 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 3: and in the Tucson sector. It's actually the worst in 475 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: the nameation right now, and he has been for a 476 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 3: few months as far as the number of illegal crossings 477 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 3: that are going on, and you've pegged it. I mean, 478 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: last month alone, December, three hundred and two thousand people 479 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 3: that we know of are encountered at the southern border. 480 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 3: That's more than the entire population of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 481 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 3: one single month. And Biden does nothing. In fact, he 482 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: wants to incentivize more people to come. 483 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: Over the fact that look what California just did. Now 484 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: they're going to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants, which 485 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: is insanity to me. I Mean, what I'm having a 486 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: hard time understanding is why they have now simply decided 487 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: that it's okay to only enforce the laws that they 488 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: want to enforce, because this is now their policy, It's 489 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: obviously been their policy. They're allowing unvetted people into this 490 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: country and I would argue probably as a result of 491 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: these policies, we know people on the terror watch lists 492 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: have been how many on that watch list were not caught? 493 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: How many people coming from enemy countries you know, are 494 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: setting up terror cells here for another nine to eleven 495 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: or another or October seventh, or maybe something worse. And 496 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: I suspect that's probably happened. I'd even bet one hundred 497 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: percent that I'm right, and I pray that I'm wrong. 498 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: Do you believe that's as strong possibility as I do. 499 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 3: Well, I do believe it's a strong possibility. And you 500 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 3: know these policies were under Obama too. I was in 501 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 3: the state legislature in Arizona at the time, and I 502 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: was a co sponsor of SB ten seventy, and the 503 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: courts threw most of it out because we were trying 504 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 3: to enforce the laws that the federal government was not. 505 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 8: Well. 506 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 3: Now Biden has just made it much much worse. And 507 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 3: that's what Texas is trying to do now, is they say, listen, Biden, 508 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: you're not enforcing the law, you're not protecting our citizens, 509 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 3: so we're going to do it ourselves. And then, of 510 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 3: course the Biden administration is doing them, and they'll do nothing. 511 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 3: They just continue to incentivize people to come across the 512 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 3: border from what one hundred and seventy different countries. This 513 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 3: is total insanity, and that's why Republicans passed a bill 514 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 3: in the House to stop this insanity by changing the 515 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 3: border security policies. And that's why we're pushing for it 516 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 3: in connecting to funding for the government and for any 517 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 3: supplemental funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. 518 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: I watched yesterday, you know, I saw a Speaker john said, 519 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: I saw Jim Jordan about sixty Republicans down at the 520 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 1: border and all the media says, how many of you 521 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: raise your hand. We're willing to shut down the government. 522 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: Republicans don't want to shut down the government. However, we've 523 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: got this is now a top national security issue to me, 524 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: and I don't have a problem with the Republicans saying 525 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: we'll make a deal, but we've got to get something 526 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: in return as well. 527 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 3: Untally agree with you, Sean. I mean, these are the 528 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 3: priorities that Speaker Mike Johnson has put forward. We need 529 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 3: to secure the border, and we need to get our 530 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 3: federal government spending under control, because as you know, our 531 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 3: interest payment on our national debt is soon going to 532 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 3: exceed our entire budget for the Department of Defense, and 533 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 3: that is also a national security threat. I mean, Biden is. 534 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: Just by the way, it's right now, eleven percent of 535 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: our spending is just paying off a trillion dollars in 536 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: debt every year. How do we possibly survive as a 537 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: country doing that. 538 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: We can't survive. We can't survive with an open border, 539 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 3: and we can't survive with unlimited government spending. And unfortunately, 540 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 3: Republicans have been fighting this, fighting this, fighting this, but 541 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 3: the Senate, which is controlled by the Democrats and a 542 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 3: Democrat President Biden, don't agree with us. So we will 543 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 3: keep pushing. We will keep pushing, and we're going to 544 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 3: try to hold some leverage over them on border security 545 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 3: and government spending. And I'm glad that Mike Johnson is 546 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 3: drawing the line. 547 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad all of you are drawing the line. 548 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: And I guess you got these two deadlines and you 549 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: don't want another continuing resolution. How do you think that's 550 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: going to end up in terms of a deal? Is 551 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: there any hope that one will happen? Is there any 552 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: constructive discussions going on? Or Democrats are saying it's our way, 553 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: the highway. 554 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: Well, I hope there's constructive negotiations going on. I mean, 555 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: Kirston Cinema is one of our state senators here in Arizona, 556 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: and she's part of the group that's negotiating in the Senate. Now. 557 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 3: I served with Kirson Cinema and the state legislature. She 558 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 3: was very liberal back then, but she does understand border security. 559 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: But in the House, we're going to stand firm. We 560 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 3: need border security and we need to reign in government spending. Now, 561 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 3: Mike Johnson has a tough row. There's only two two 562 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 3: votes he can afford to lose if it's all Republicans, 563 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 3: So it's going to be a rough road, but we're 564 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 3: going to stand up for what we believe in. 565 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: Well, we really appreciate what you're doing. Great to check 566 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: in with you, Congresswoman Debbie LESCo, Arizona's eighth congressional district. 567 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. We appreciate it. 568 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 7: All. 569 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: Right, quick break, we'll come back. We'll hit the phones 570 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: when we come back. Eight hundred and nine four one 571 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: Shawn on number as we continue, and more of your 572 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: calls also coming up. Final half hour of the program. 573 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: All right, let's hit our busy phones. Let's say hi 574 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: to Eric. He's in the Free State of Florida, our 575 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: new broadcasting home. What's up, Eric? How are you glad 576 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: you called? Sir? Oh? 577 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 9: Thank you? Sean, Happy New year, Happy to year. I'd 578 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 9: like to I'd like to share some arithmetic regarding the 579 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 9: border and just thinking about I keep seeing on TV 580 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 9: that's costing about four hundred and fifty billion dollars a 581 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 9: year in order to deal with the border crisis. Is 582 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 9: that the figure that sounds act to you. It's roughly 583 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 9: in that neighborhood, four hundred and fifty billion to take 584 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 9: care of everybody. 585 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: You've read the right figure. I've seen it, but I've 586 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: also seen higher estimates when you factor everything in. But yeah, 587 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: you know it's it's close to I mean, that is 588 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: a massive amount of money. Now think of it this 589 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,239 Speaker 1: way too. What about all the states now that have 590 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: to provide free healthcare because people are not going to 591 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: be turned away from public hospitals. What about the impact 592 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: on our educational system and education those costs alone, we're 593 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: talking about billions of dollars. Then you add housing and 594 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: food and supplies, I mean, we can't afford this. 595 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 9: That's right. If you take four hundred and fifty billion 596 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 9: dollars and you divide it by approximately the number of 597 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 9: individual taxpayers that filed the tax return last year. I 598 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 9: looked it up on Google. It's about one hundred and 599 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 9: sixty five million people filed the tax return. Take four 600 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 9: hundred and fifty billion divided by one hundred and sixty 601 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 9: five million, you get about twenty seven hundred dollars per person. 602 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 9: You could be getting gag back a refund every year, 603 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 9: and for me, that's twenty seven trips to the grocery store. 604 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 9: That's a lot of money. 605 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: It's a ton of money, and especially your trips to 606 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: the grocery store. Thanks to Joe Biden's horrific Bidenomics. You know, 607 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: we're making it on an average, you know, two thousand 608 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: dollars less a year, and costs have gone up precipitously 609 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: because of his inflation and high interest rates and everything 610 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: else that he's done wrong. So add it all together 611 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: and it's not a pretty picture for we, the American people. 612 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: But securing our border first and foremost, it's about national security. 613 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: You cannot convince me that people coming from Iran and 614 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: Syria and China and Russia and Afghanistan and Egypt are 615 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: all coming here because they want a better opportunity in 616 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: a better life. I'm not convinced to that, and I'd 617 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: say the odds that I'm one hundred percent correct that 618 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: there are people with nefarious intentions, people with terrorist intentions 619 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: entering our country and setting up shot waiting for the 620 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: day that they're going to act. I think I'm one 621 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent accurate. I hope to God I'm wrong, but 622 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Anyway, Thanks for a good call, 623 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Eric. Think eight hundred nine four one, Shawn 624 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: our number. You want to be a part of the program.
