00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Making the American Farm Strong Again.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now. We're

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: joined now by the new head of the EPA. He

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: is Lee Zelden. And Lee, we appreciate the time. We

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: know you've been diving into how the money is being

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: spent at the EPA, and you are already uncovering some

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: frankly buried secrets that don't have a lot to do

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: with the environment or protection. What can you tell us

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: about what you found so far?

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: It's great to be with you guys. Yes, tens of

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: billions of dollars. When I was going through my Senate

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: confirmation process, there was this video that came out. I'm

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: sure both of you guys saw where the Biden EPA

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: political appointee was talking about how they were throwing gold

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: bars off the Titanic. Says in multiple times in the

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: video talks about how he's trying to that they are

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 3: trying to get themselves jobs at the recipient NGOs, and

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: these senators I was meeting with at the time were

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 3: asking for me to commit, which was a pretty easy

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: commitment for me to make that once I was confirmed,

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: I would come in and try to find these gold bars. Well,

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: it didn't take us much time to start finding all

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: sorts of waste and abuse. I canceled a fifty million

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: dollar grant to the Climate Justice Alliance. They say that

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: Climate Justice runs through a free Palestine. Cancel about ninety

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 3: grants working with those towards DEI and Environmental Justice. That's

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 3: totaling over one hundred and twenty five hundred and twenty

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: seven million dollars. Cancel over a million dollars worth of

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: media subscriptions where the agency was getting ripped off having

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: to pay too much, And the biggest one was a

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: twenty billion dollar pot of money parked at a bank

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: outside of government. A rush job at the end of

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: the Biden administration to offload tens of billions of dollars,

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: all going to eight passed through NGOs, one of which

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: was Stacy Abrams's NGO, which received two billion dollars even

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: though they only received one hundred dollars. In twenty twenty three,

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: five billion dollars went to the former employer of the

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: director of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. And a story

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: out this morning of somebody who was involved in the

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: council to design this this plan and this pot of

42
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 3: money got twenty million dollars for their organization that they

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: work at, even though that organization over the last few

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: years only raised in total just over two million. So

45
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot there with regards to that pot of

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: twenty billion dollars. We're not done. It's it's wild how

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: much waste we by deed. And I'll just give you

48
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: one more. There was one hundred and sixty million dollars

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: sent to a Canadian electric vehicle school bus company as

50
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: part of the clean school Bus program. They then declared bankruptcy.

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: They still haven't delivered on ninety five million dollars worth

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: of school buses for fifty five school districts. Yes, buy an.

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: EPA gave them all one hundred and sixty million dollars

54
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: up front, and then they declared bankruptcy without performing on

55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: most of the contract. We are going to end the

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: waste and abuse at the EPA.

57
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, mister administrator, I was gonna say, misuspectory of

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: an administrator of the EPA. Lee explain how this works in

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: just the most simple layman's terms, because we're hearing this stuff.

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: So the EPA gives out grants millions and millions of

61
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: dollars to whatever organization. Some people in the EPA decide

62
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: should get that money to do whatever, Like how does

63
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: that actually go? And what kind of oversight is there

64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: on this? I mean, you're finding this this obvious abuse

65
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: and fraud, But I'm just wondering, how is the process?

66
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: Is it really just as simple as the EPA says, Oh,

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: we like this climate change group of lunatics. We're going

68
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 2: to give them, you know, fifty million bucks.

69
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 3: That's pretty much how it worked out. And a lot

70
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: of self dealing, a lot of conflicts of interest, and

71
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 3: it's also a lie to the American public when you

72
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: talk about terms like environmental justice or climate change and

73
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: you define them in a way that appeals to the masses. Like,

74
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: for example, with environmental justice, you say that there's some

75
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: community that has been left behind and that they need

76
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: assistance to deal with this pressing environmental issue. Yeah, there

77
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 3: are a lot of people conservatives, monarts, liberals say like, oh, wow,

78
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: this community is in need. They don't have access to

79
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 3: clean airline or water. What can we do to assist?

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: But here's the problem. In the name of environmental justice.

81
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: They'll then give fifty million dollars to an organization as

82
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: a left wing advocacy group that's talking about how climate

83
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: justice runs through gaza. They'll talk about climate change in

84
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: a way that appeals to the masses, and then in

85
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: the name of climate change, they'll advance policies that would

86
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: bankrupt our country if we did everything. It will raise

87
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: the rates for energy costs, it will eliminate choice to

88
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: the point where the people who get hurt the most

89
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: are the ones who can least afford it. The President

90
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: has been outspoken on this. His words have been criticized

91
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: when he's used the term climate change hoax. What he's

92
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: been talking about, I've heard him mention a few times

93
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: where it was in my presence. When I've heard him

94
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: talk about it, he's talking about how there are people

95
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 3: who said that the world was imminently about to end.

96
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: You know, this was a few years ago. I'm sure

97
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: both of you guys remember this, that we were just

98
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: a few years away from the end of time, and

99
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: that we had to pass this green new deal that

100
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: would cost tens of trillions of dollars. If we did

101
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: everything in this plan and in the name of climate change,

102
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 3: there's this willingness to cause extreme economic pain for the

103
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 3: people can at least afford it, and it's wrong and

104
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: he wants to stop that, and he's right.

105
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: Lee, So much is changing.

106
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: It feels like in terms of the presidents just endorsing

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: basic common sense and you're talking about fraud and abuse

108
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: in the EPA you ran for governor against Kathy Hokeel.

109
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: One of the areas that seems to be moving most

110
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: aggressively towards sanity, I would say, is the New York

111
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: New Jersey area. What do you think the first thirty

112
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: days has done to advance that ball moving more and

113
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: more towards sanity. We know New York, for instance, was

114
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: more competitive than Texas or California were in the national election,

115
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: which stuns people. And the Trump team feels like if

116
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: they'd had a little bit more money, they could have

117
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: flipped New Jersey.

118
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: What's really going on here?

119
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: What are you seeing as a guy who's been in

120
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: politics for a while and is now a part of

121
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: this administration.

122
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 3: Top issues for Americans of all walks of life are

123
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: really to the economy and crime and public safety. They

124
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: care about the illegal immigration at the border, and President

125
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: Trump in his first month in office, has been working

126
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: to make tremendous progress on all of that, and we

127
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: see it with the efforts of Ice in the Department

128
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: of Homeland Security, and he didn't waste any time. It

129
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: was something that started on day one. If you are

130
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: illegally in the country, and you're the worst of the worst,

131
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: we need to be doing everything in our power to

132
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: get you out of the country and making sure that

133
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: we are actually securing our border. And we're sending a

134
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: message to those who haven't come yet they might have

135
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: been on their way to come illegally into the country,

136
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: that there's a process and if you want to break

137
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: the law, you're not welcome here. And that message, I

138
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: think goes a long way inside of some of these

139
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: cities where people have experienced the secondary effects of these

140
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: policy impacts on crime, budgets, healthcare, education, housing, and more.

141
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: And that progress is something that I think a lot

142
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: of Americans are saying, thank God. On another front, on

143
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: the energy front, President Trump just signed signed his executive

144
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: Order for National Energy Dominance Council, which I'm serving on

145
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: along with a Secretary Wright at Department of Energy and

146
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: Doug Bergham at the Department of Interior. And there's a

147
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: big pipeline project called Constitution Pipeline that would transport natural

148
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: gas across many states in the Northeast. And if you're

149
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: a New Yorker where they ban the safe extraction of

150
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: natural gas, where they are on the pace towards banning

151
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: the sale of gas power vehicles, where they do not

152
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: allow gas hookups to new construction, and they are talking

153
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: about offshore wind as if that is the replacement for

154
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: baseload energy, closing Indian Point, not getting new nuclear on site,

155
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: opportunities to to have more AI data centers, but those

156
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: require energy to It's just night and day when you

157
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: look at where we were not that long ago and

158
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: where we are since President Trump was sworn into office.

159
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. We're not We're not a month

160
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: in saying our work is done here and now we're

161
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: we're going to start coasting. We're just getting started. This

162
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: is this is just the beginning of what I believe

163
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: too as a golden age of American success. Just like

164
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: President Trump talks about.

165
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: Mister Administrator, I wanted to ask you about that to

166
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: close us out here, which is right now, we've we've

167
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: seen whether it's what you're doing at the EPA and

168
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: obviously DOGE government wide under President Trump's approval, is getting

169
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: rid of the waste, right, the waste is bad. What

170
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: are the EPA priorities under this Trump administration that our

171
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: action for the environment or that are things that actually

172
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: touch on what the what the mission of your agency

173
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 2: is suppose to be other than not paying a lot

174
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: of money to left wing climate lunatics, Like what are

175
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: some of the things you're going to try to get

176
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: done as EPA administrator As long as you're in that

177
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: role that Trump wants you to pursue.

178
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 3: Love that question, and President Trump wants clean airlanta, and

179
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: water for all Americans. The core mission of EPA is

180
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 3: protecting human health and the environment. Right now, we are

181
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: finishing up our Phase one hazardous material removal. It was

182
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: a thirty day timeline in Los Angeles after the wildfires.

183
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: President Trump set a bold deadline. But we have over

184
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: fifteen hundred workers on the ground to be able to

185
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: crush that job. I was just in Flint, Michigan last week.

186
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: I've been in East Palastine, Ohio with our great new

187
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: Vice president Western North Carolina. With that hurricane response. We

188
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: just got a mission assignment with the Kentucky flooding. There

189
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: is so much that we are doing right now all

190
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: across this country to ensure that we have clean airlanta water.

191
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: Like President Trump wants us to set out for. Our

192
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: five pillared initiative is called Powering the Great American Comeback.

193
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: We're just talking just now about Pillar one. We also

194
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: want to help unleash energy dominance, pursupermitting reform, bring back

195
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 3: more American auto jobs, and ensure the United States of

196
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: America is the AI capital of the world. There are

197
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: important priorities of this president. There are key statutory obligations

198
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: from Congress, like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Acts,

199
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: Safe Drinking Water Act, Toxic Substance Chemicals Act. We're going

200
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: to do our job exceptionally. We're going to follow our

201
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 3: obligations under the law. We are going to respect the

202
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: rule of law, and we are going to embrace cooperative

203
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: federalism to work with states across this country.

204
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: EPA Administrator Zelden, thank you so much, sir, and please

205
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: as you continue on with these missions, we'd love to

206
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: have you back to hear how it's going. So thank

207
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: you so much.

208
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 4: Far to it.

209
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck.

210
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: We are joined now by our friend, Congressman Jim Jordan,

211
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: great State of Ohio. I don't know that we've talked

212
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,479
Speaker 1: to Jim since the Ohio State Buckeyes won the national championship,

213
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: and so congratulations there. I know you didn't. I know

214
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: you've got connections to a variety of Big ten schools

215
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: over the years. We got a lot to get into

216
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: with you, but I wanted to start with this. I

217
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: saw your House Judiciary Committee putting out news over four

218
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand individual tax returns have been leaked, which is

219
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: a staggering number, and we wanted to give you an

220
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to kind of explain to all of us how

221
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: that happened, what's going on, and what you expect to

222
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: uncover going forward.

223
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: By one guy Clay who went to the IRS with

224
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: the specific objective of leaking President Trump's tax return and

225
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: as in that effort, four hundred and five thousand either

226
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: businesses or individuals have their tax information and violations you

227
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: know Section sixty one or three, so that we've dealt

228
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 4: with in a long time there and time in Congress.

229
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: But that information goes public and he gets charged with

230
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: one count. One dount should be four hundred five thousand.

231
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 4: I mean, for goodness sake, And you know, we hear

232
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: so much about oh Elon Musk having access to sensitive information.

233
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: Here was a contractor hired by the Biden administration who

234
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 4: came in with the specific goal, accomplished that goal, and

235
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: four hundred and five thousand other people also had their

236
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: information public. And its just I mean it, it's the

237
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: irs the same in what they you know, a dollars

238
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: for eighty thousand new people to come in there, and

239
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 4: yet oh Elon Musk can't have access to this information

240
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 4: where he's actually going to save taxpayers money. It's so ridiculous.

241
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: You know, this is the irs though, this is big government.

242
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 4: That's why, you know, God blessed President Trump. And in

243
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: the Doze effort, because I think they're they're they're highlighting

244
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: how ridiculous some of these things the government really are.

245
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: Congress and Jordan always appreciate you being with us. I'm sorry,

246
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that I'm getting this right,

247
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: because this is one of these things where it actually

248
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: it feels a little mind blowing. Even given this stuff

249
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: we've seen from the government as bad as a lot

250
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: of the bureaucracy stuff. Is four hundred thousand tax returns

251
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: were leaked? How do we know this? And will most

252
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: people be notified of this? It just seems like, yeah,

253
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: the IRS.

254
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: They are being notified, and you know, that's the least

255
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: we can do. But remember this is the same IRS.

256
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: I mean, we just had Matt Taybey come and testify

257
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: again two weeks ago. And if you remember, back in

258
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: December of twenty twenty two, Matt Tybe does one of

259
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: the Twitter files, important Twitter file. The very day he

260
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: releases that Twitter file, which just happened to be December

261
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: twenty fourth, twenty twentyeth Christmas Eve, that very day, the

262
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: IRS opens an investigation into his taxes. They open that

263
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: very day. And then two and a half months later,

264
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: he's testifying in front of our committee. And while he's testifying,

265
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: while Democrats are asking him to reveal sources, while they're

266
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 4: saying he's a so called journalist, why they're attacking him,

267
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: the IRS was knocking on his door. Should we be

268
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: surprised that the Biden IRS is actually, you know, having

269
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: somebody get inside there and release President Trump's tax return

270
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: and a bunch of one hundreds of thousands of other

271
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: American entities as well. This is how ridiculous. This is

272
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 4: why big government is bad. And what we're focused on,

273
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: what President Trump campaigned on and Elon must is now implementing,

274
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: is so darn important.

275
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: Jim, I know there's a ton that you got, Clay.

276
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: I'm just by the way with Matt Tybee. The Irs

277
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: actually owed him money, you think, but they're trying to

278
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: intimidate him, and it turned out they owed him. You

279
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: can't make this stuff up.

280
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: So anyway, I think you know this.

281
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean, because you listen, Buck is being audited right now.

282
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: I have been good times, good times, really fun.

283
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: I never was audited in my entire life until we

284
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: took over this show. Every one of my tax returns

285
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: since I started this show has been audited. One of them,

286
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: Congressman the Irs told me I owed thirty nine dollars

287
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: and seventy five cents. I mean, I don't know who

288
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: they've got thirty nine dollars and seventy five cents.

289
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: You're lucky, Doge. I didn't find you first, Clay.

290
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: That's I don't know who they got pouring through my

291
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: tax returns. But I don't know how many people have

292
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: ever gotten a back tax ode bill of thirty nine

293
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: dollars and seventy five cents, but I did.

294
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so it's like, you know this.

295
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: When you look and you've met Elon and you've had

296
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity to interact with him. Can you believe that

297
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: Democrats have decided that the hill they want to die

298
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: on is being aggressive to try to cut waste and

299
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: spending is unacceptable. Some of this stuff I just can't

300
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: believe is a real argument.

301
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: No, I agree, and I caught you. I forget where

302
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 4: I saw you're doing an interview. You're making this point. No,

303
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: I mean, instead of helping us stop the stupid spending,

304
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: let's attack the guy who's exposing the stupid spending. Like what,

305
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 4: that's your that's your political I mean, that's that's the

306
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: position you're gonna take. And take that to the folks.

307
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: I get the privilege you're representing in west central central Ohio,

308
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: farmers and people who work in manufacturing and the good

309
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: regular families. They're like, what are you talking about. I'd

310
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: actually like for you to stop the stupid spending. Yeah.

311
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: I don't get it. But if they want to do that.

312
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 4: God bless them. We will keep We'll keep talking about

313
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 4: the crazy things that their tax money is being used

314
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 4: for and working to stop it. Work along with Elon Musk.

315
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: One of the most important things, Congress and Jordan, that

316
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: you are looking to do and to get other members

317
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: of Congress on board for. So much of what we've

318
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: seen so far is obviously executive branch action, stuff from

319
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: the White House, from the Oval Office, President Trump, from

320
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: Elon and others, you know, his cabinet, various cabinet secretaries.

321
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: We have n't been you know, it must be interesting.

322
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: Congress isn't getting beat up over all this stuff right now.

323
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: Congress is sort of on the side. It's everyone's focused

324
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: on the executive branch. What do you want to see

325
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: the House do in order to assist in cleaning up

326
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: all the stuff that's going on here? I mean, what's

327
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: feasible and what's on the agenda?

328
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, FIRSTUS reconciliation. I mean, we've got a

329
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: budget package that we're hoping to pass the day. We're

330
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 4: trying to round up the boats for that. But this,

331
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: this budget resolution would allow us to It sets the

332
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: stage for us to cut taxes, cut spending, help with

333
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 4: national defense and secure the border, which you know, go figure,

334
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 4: that sounds like we're being Republicans. It sounds like we're

335
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: doing what we told the voters we're going to do.

336
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: So that's that's where primary focus is in the in

337
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 4: the Congress right now is getting this package moving so

338
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 4: we can actually do via reconciliation, which is you know,

339
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure you talk to your listeners many times, is

340
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 4: just a fancy word for you don't need sixty votes

341
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: in the Senate to do the things that you want

342
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 4: to do when it relates to budgeting and spending. So

343
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 4: that's where we're we're really fopling. But we are going

344
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 4: to have to codify some of the stuff that that

345
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 4: Elon Musk is identifying. And understand there's been there's been

346
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: efforts over the years to do Citizens against Government Waste

347
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: and other final organizations have highlighted some of this stuff

348
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 4: over the years, the ear marks, the bridge to know

349
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 4: where stupid things that that money gets spent on, But

350
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 4: there's never been this kind of intensity and focus and

351
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: effort with the media attention on Elon Musk and President

352
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: Trump campaigning on it and saying Elon is going to

353
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: be the guy who randos that is what is new

354
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: and I think dynamic and giving so much attention to this,

355
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 4: which is needed. Frankly, when you look at the trillion

356
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 4: dollar deficits we're running and the thirty six trillion dollars

357
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 4: debt that's now piled up. So that's that's where we

358
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 4: got to put it. At some point, we're going to

359
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 4: have to codify what he's what Elon is identifying his team,

360
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: but also we've got to get this reconciliation package done.

361
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: I mentioned Ohio State off the top. Obviously the vice

362
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: president Ohio State, Buckeye grad. I know he was happy

363
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: to see that win over Notre Dame. You are also involved,

364
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: in addition to a billion other things going on NIL

365
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: and college athletics. I think I saw coming across the

366
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: line a little bit earlier today was that there's going

367
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: to be a hearing surrounding that.

368
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: Am I right, where are we going?

369
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: For people out there who are big college sports fans,

370
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: what are you examining?

371
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 4: Well, we're actually doing some something that typically doesn't happen

372
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: all that often on Capitol Hill. We're actually going to

373
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 4: do hearings where we're trying to get information, whether it's

374
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: not some predetermined outcome that we want, some bill we

375
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: want to pass, or something decory we're trying to achieve.

376
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 4: We just want to We want everyone loves college sports.

377
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 4: We want them to be around. I watched the Oklahoma

378
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: State Iowa match on tape last night when I got

379
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 4: home late, and we want we love college sports and

380
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: most people's football, basketball, but there's so many other sports.

381
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: We want to make sure they're all doing well. We

382
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 4: met with Charlie Baker, we met with and through some

383
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: of some of the work with UCLAY, we've met with

384
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 4: some of the commissioners from some of the big conferences.

385
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: So we're looking at do in some hearings and field

386
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: hearings where we talk to people involved in college athletics

387
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: and see we want to make sure this continues. It's

388
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 4: been such an amazing thing, and it's different from most

389
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: other countries where it's all club level, different kind of concept,

390
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: this idea that sports are good for students and student athletes.

391
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 4: That's why we have them in school, and when you

392
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 4: get to the top level Division one athletics, it's really

393
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 4: important to Americans. So we're going to have some of

394
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: these here as we're bringing people. We're kind of waiting

395
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 4: for this House decision when it's finalized, so we sort

396
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: of know exactly what's there, but we're actually going to

397
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: solicit information. Imagine that Congress trying to get information and

398
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 4: figure out what's the best way to move forward and

399
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: should we move forward at all as as as you

400
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: know in Congress or do you just let the marketplace work?

401
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: So those are the questions we have and we're trying

402
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 4: to get answers.

403
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: To Congressman, have you ever seen such a lack of

404
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: gusto from your counterparts on the Democrat side in the Congress?

405
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: It is a remarkable moment in American history. Right now,

406
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 2: it's just the deafening sound of crickets chirping. As Trump

407
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: is doing all this stuff, there's not much happening from

408
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: from them. What where do you think that goes? Are

409
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: they going to just summertime decide that they're going to

410
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: focus in on healthcare for the midterms or something? How

411
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: does it work?

412
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: Well, I mean yeah, they're they're going to keep fighting.

413
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 4: The left is the left, and they don't like the

414
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 4: idea that we the people are in charge. And it's

415
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: I would say this is the fundamental fight. It's what

416
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 4: you're seeing with with Mosk It's like, oh no, no, no,

417
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 4: it's the bureaucrats. It's the faucies of the world who

418
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 4: are supposed to run things, you know, the experts. It

419
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 4: can't be we the people, via the people we actually

420
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: elect into office. It can't be that model. That's the constitution.

421
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: We don't want that. We want the bureaucrests are running.

422
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: So that's the fundamental fight. There's still going to be

423
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: the left, but you're right, the momentum is all and

424
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: the energy is all on President Trump's side and the

425
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 4: Republican side. And you see that with the fact that

426
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 4: every single person he is nominated, with the exception of

427
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 4: mister Gates, but every single one has been confirmed. And

428
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 4: now we have Dan bond Gino gonna go help Cash,

429
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 4: We got Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche coming into justice. I mean,

430
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 4: it's the team he has put together, good, sharp people

431
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: who understand they're supposed to be in those positions to

432
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 4: serve we the people. That's the attitude that was I

433
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 4: think reflective in the election, and that's the attitude you

434
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 4: see in these folks. And I'm excited about it all.

435
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: Jim, what shall we know about the time frame on

436
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: bills getting passed? I know there's been a discussion one bill,

437
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: two bills, one big beautiful bill. What is the current

438
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: process I guess under which this is playing out on

439
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill? And what should we know from a time

440
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: frame perspective based on what you know?

441
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: No good, good question, And you know I'm as I

442
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 4: fell along tactically. One build, two bill, ten bills. I

443
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 4: don't care. I just want to get downe what we

444
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 4: said we're going to do. But the one bill approach

445
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 4: is the budget for creating that. That vehicle is supposed

446
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: to happen tonight. Now the Speaker said, we may or

447
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: may not be able to get the vote tonight, but

448
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 4: I think we can. We're working on that, and then

449
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 4: the final package. The timeline is the Speaker's laid out

450
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: and Leader Foon has talked about, is sometime in April

451
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 4: where we would get that one big beautiful bill, or

452
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 4: if it's two and you've got to do a second one.

453
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: But the idea with one is to get it done

454
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 4: sometime in April so that those tax cuts are in place,

455
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 4: they stay in place. The new tax cuts come into

456
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 4: place he needed for Tom Homan to do his job

457
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 4: and secure our border because it takes revn it takes

458
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 4: resources to do that, and then some money for our

459
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: national defense, which again are all the things we campaigned on.

460
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: That's the timeline, that's the Speaker's laid out, and that's

461
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 4: what we're trying to meet.

462
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: What do you think of the chances, Congress and Jordan

463
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,840
