18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: The state of California decided to defy President Trump's executive

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: order and allow a biological male that's that's a dude

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: to compete in a girl's track and field competition, where

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the young man one two of the events. I'll discuss

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: more on that today with the Member of Congress. Also,

23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: the National Taxpayers Union recently sent an open letter to

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: the Senate, urging them to make changes to the tax

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: policy within the big beautiful bill. I'll bring on the

26
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: President the National Taxpayers Union to explain what they want changed.

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: And then later a Washington judge recently ruled against President

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: Trump's two gender executive order and demanded that prisons must

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: still accommodate transgender inmates with gendera firman care that means

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: men living with women.

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: I'll give you all.

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, what can possibly go wrong. I'll give you

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: the details and.

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: More coming up.

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: And first I'll start with the Biden auto pen scandal.

36
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: All right, So, the Department of Justice is.

37
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: Now currently investigating pardons banned by the Biden administration, specifically

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: whether the previous president was competent and whether or not

39
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: others were taking advantage of him through the use of

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: the autopan by basically running the country on elected officials.

41
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: This comes after Kentucky Representative James Comer launched a House

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee probe into the possible cover up of Biden's

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: mental decline just last month, requesting appearances and information from

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's leading physician, Kevin O'Connor, among many others.

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: He'll be joining me here in a moment.

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: But first we have Brian Glenn joining me here in

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: Washington to discuss this a little bit more in detail. Brian,

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: I know you've been speculating, because something else came up

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: today that you and I were talking about just a

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: short time ago, and that is the revelation the Karine

51
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: Jean Pierre, the woman that stood out there for two years,

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: eight months in a few days defending Joe Biden's ability

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: to do the job.

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: Oh, he's sharpest attack.

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: He could do one handed pushups, he can do backflips

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: at lunch and remember everything. Now she is no longer

57
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: a Democrat, Brian, and it makes us wonder why is

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: she getting so far from the Democrat Party?

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: What do you think? I don't know. Good afternoon, Steve.

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: Maybe she feels so he coming from the oversight chairman

61
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: Congressman Jamie Comer. As far as who knew what, who

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 4: knew when, and what were they doing? And more importantly,

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: you can compare some of the dates on these executive

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 4: orders and these partings. Where was Joe Biden in the

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: White House when this is going on? What did he know?

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: Did he even know he was signing some of these

67
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: executive orders? And some of these pardons. But my goodness, Steve,

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: as this story develops, this is going to be fun

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: to watch.

70
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: Grab the popcorn.

71
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: Because I think you'll have a few people that are

72
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: willing to talk. But it's very interesting that KJB KJP.

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: I never seem to get that straight. What does she

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: know and what does she want to say? What does

75
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: she know? Did she see the president not see the president?

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: Is we use the word unprecedented in this town a lot,

77
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: This truly is.

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: I've ever seen a press.

79
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: Secretary come out a few weeks later say yeah, I'm

80
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: not really part of that party anymore. I've never seen

81
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: that before, Brian. I appreciate you taking a moment here.

82
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: We got to shift gears because Julia Letlo is here,

83
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: Republican member of Congress from California. Excuse me, Louisiana five,

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: congress woman, thank you for being here.

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having me today.

86
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: Greatly appreciate. Look, let's start with what we were just

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: talking about. Kareem John Pierre. I've heard some headlines that

88
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: made my head whip around, but this one just about

89
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: gave me whiplash today. I said, excuse me, Kareem John Pierre.

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: Two years, eight months in a few days, stood out

91
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: there telling us how competent Joe Biden was, said, anybody

92
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: that questioned his confidence didn't know what they.

93
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: Were dealing with.

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: She's running them all the time, his stamina, his ability,

95
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: his sharpness. And now she's no longer a Democrat. What

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: do you make of this?

97
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 5: Wow? What a turn about.

98
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 6: Yes, that is an incredible narrative that.

99
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 5: She has played. You know, I think we were all

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 5: fed a lie. I think the.

101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 6: Media perpetuated that, including her, and she should be held

102
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 6: responsible for the lie that they spread to the American people.

103
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 6: But yeah, the headlines now to read that today quite remarkable.

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: Well, you might have heard.

105
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: Brian Glenn and I talking off the top of the program.

106
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: It made us speculate, Look, this whole autopen scandal that

107
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: James Kober will be on here in a few.

108
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: Minutes to discuss with me as well.

109
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: The whole autopen scandal makes you wonder if she just

110
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: wants to be away from it. She doesn't want to

111
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: answer questions about Joe Biden's cognitive ability, his ability to

112
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: do the job. Was he actually mentally present when all

113
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: of these things were happening?

114
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 2: If I were in her position.

115
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I want to be as far away as that from

116
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: that as possible as well. Could that be what's happening here?

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Or is she just jumping ship because the Democrats are

118
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: trying to sell things that the American people are not buying.

119
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 6: I think both theories could be true. But I do

120
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 6: know this, the American people, especially in Louisiana, answers if

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 6: there was an autopen being used. They absolutely deserve those answers,

122
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 6: and so it's our job to make sure that we

123
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 6: get to the bottom of it.

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 5: Whatever happened, it.

125
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: Certainly is all right.

126
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you about the autopen that

127
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: I want to get to about something in California with

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: trans athletes where they continue to defy I mean, but

129
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: this autopen scandal, if true, your colleagues are demanding answers

130
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: as well. They should if an autopen is used. At

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: a minimum, whoever's ordering that autopen to be used has

132
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: to be present mentally to understand the ramifications of what

133
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: they're doing. And by all indications, Joe Biden did not

134
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: not only not know what was happening, he didn't authorize

135
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: it in any way. This would be the biggest scandal

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: in American history. I believe how concerned are you?

137
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 6: Absolutely concerned? And if that's the truth, those people should

138
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 6: be held responsible to the full extent of the law.

139
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 6: So there's a lot of investigation that needs to occur.

140
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: It's Congress's job to do it.

141
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: I'm absolutely confident that my colleagues and I will get

142
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 6: to the bottom of it.

143
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: I certainly hope you're right. Now, let's shift gears, because

144
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: I know this is a topic you've been focused on,

145
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: as we all have. When young men are allowed to

146
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: compete against their female counterparts in middle school, high school,

147
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: or college. Let's be clear about this. It is not fair.

148
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: And we've just learned no surprise, because we knew perfectly

149
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: well that the boxer that competed in the Olympics, the

150
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: young man from Algeria that beat up the woman from

151
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Italy viciously and she dropped out forty seconds later, was

152
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: just a representation of how wrong this truly is. Look,

153
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: we can't have men in women's sports, and yet places

154
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: like Maine and in California are defying President Trump's executive

155
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: orders on this.

156
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: It's common sense. It's an eighty twenty issue.

157
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Even your Democrat colleagues don't believe this is the right

158
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: thing to do, but they refuse to stand up and

159
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: tell the truth why.

160
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 6: It's astounding to me that in California they are defying

161
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 6: the executive order. You know, as a mom of two

162
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 6: small children, as a mom of a daughter, I can

163
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 6: only imagine how upset these parents are and how upset

164
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 6: these female athletes are. So I have to tell you,

165
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 6: I was the long jump state chiampion in Louisiana in

166
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety eight. I would have been devastated if I

167
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 6: lost that gold medal to a biological man.

168
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 5: It is absolutely unfair.

169
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 6: We have done so much to defend women, to protect

170
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 6: women in sports. I cannot believe that the governor in

171
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 6: California is willfully defying the executive order.

172
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 5: He should be held accountable.

173
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 6: I know that President Trump is going to make some

174
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 6: pretty strong demands to make sure that that doesn't happen

175
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 6: again in California. But wow, what an incredible travesty that

176
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: is for our young girls. What example is that setting?

177
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 6: And I'm so proud of the female athletes who stood

178
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 6: up and said, no, this is absolutely wrong. We're not

179
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 6: going to stand for this, We're going to fight against it.

180
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 5: We need to continue that fight.

181
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, it is still still happening in our country.

182
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really proud of the girls that refuse

183
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: to get on the podium right next to a boy.

184
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I was very proud of them, but you were a champion.

185
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: But the girls and the women that I really even

186
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: have more empathy for are the ones that would have

187
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: finished in.

188
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: Third place or fifth place.

189
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: They've gotten to that last spot of the podium. They've

190
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: worked really hard. They never probably thought they were going

191
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: to win, but they made it to the podium. They

192
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: got the bronze medal, and they sending in the bronze

193
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: medal to get pushed off, and they get nothing at

194
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: all for all their hard work and getting up early

195
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: in the morning and working hard and sweating and making

196
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: sure they were as good as they could possibly be.

197
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Those are the girls that I think are being really

198
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: cheated by this malpractice of allowing men to compete in

199
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: women's sports.

200
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 6: Well said, and it absolutely has to come to an end.

201
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 5: I never would have imagined in.

202
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 6: A million years I'd been sitting here talking about biological

203
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 6: men competing in women's sports. We are going to stand

204
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 6: up against it in Congress. The President is standing up

205
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 6: against it, and I'm hopeful for the future that we

206
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 6: will stop this terrible practice from happening in the future.

207
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: Look, I know you talked to your Democrat colleagues in

208
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: the halls of Congress.

209
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: I know you're over there.

210
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: In the Rayburn Building and elsewhere talking to them.

211
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: Tell me the truth.

212
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: They don't really think this is a good idea, do they,

213
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Because the Democrats I talked to quietly say yeah, they're

214
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: not on board with it. But why will they not

215
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: stand up and do the right thing? Because I know

216
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: you talk to them, They say the same things to you.

217
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 6: Don't They Absolutely many of my colleagues feel the same way,

218
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 6: but not only my Democratic colleagues.

219
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 5: Everywhere you go.

220
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 6: Every parent that I talked to in Luisi in this

221
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 6: country knows that that is just absolutely wrong. We do

222
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 6: not want a man competing against our girls. It just

223
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: should not be so. Again, you said it at the top.

224
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 6: It's an eighty twenty issue. It's something that everybody in

225
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 6: their heart of hearts knows is wrong.

226
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

227
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: I want to ask you one more thing before I

228
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: let you go here, Congressman, I really appreciate your time today.

229
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, the guy who is behind Oaj obviously frustrated

230
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: with the process, frustrated with government, and I can understand

231
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: that as you watch the sausage get made, it's not

232
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: always pretty. But he says the big beautiful bill is

233
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: an abomination. He says, unless money is cut, America is

234
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: on the road to bankruptcy. And so for the Republicans

235
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: voted it through, what do you say to Elon Moscow,

236
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: the American people that are deeply concerned that the thirty

237
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: six trillion dollars that will become forty, will become fifty,

238
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: will become beyond reach.

239
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 6: Well, I am so appreciative to Elon Musk and his

240
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 6: work through DOGE to identify those areas that we can

241
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 6: cut back. You know, as a member of the Appropriations Committee,

242
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 6: it is so wonderful to see sunshine light. I've often

243
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 6: said is the best medicine transparency. Let's see what these

244
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 6: funds were actually being used for by the prior administration.

245
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 6: So I'm so grateful to him and the job that

246
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 6: he did, and that recisions package that just came over

247
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 6: from the President's death today we are going to implement.

248
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 5: But I also have.

249
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 6: To give a great credit to the Speaker from Louisiana

250
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 6: and the Majority leader from Louisiana for doing an incredible

251
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: job of pushing through President Trump's one big, beautiful bill,

252
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 6: his tax cuts for the middle class people, the child

253
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 6: tax credits that are going to affect so many parents

254
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 6: just like me out there. So I am incredibly grateful

255
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,359
Speaker 6: for the work that Doge did, but I'm also incredibly

256
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 6: proud of the work that all of us in Congress

257
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 6: came together and through our committees wrote this bill. It's

258
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 6: a product that I think that we can all get behind,

259
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 6: that we can be proud of that I know the

260
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 6: President is pushing forward. I trust the President wholeheartedly that

261
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 6: he knows that this is going to be a boost

262
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 6: for the economy. And we are going to look back

263
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 6: on this day and be very grateful for the work

264
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 6: that the President did and that Congress did to push

265
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 6: it through. Now it's up to the Senate to go

266
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 6: ahead and do their job.

267
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.

268
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are still frustrated with

269
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: the level of spending. We'll see what the Senate does

270
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: before it comes back to the House, and then we'll

271
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: reconvene the conversations. Julia Leto Congresswoman for Louisiana five.

272
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 6: Thank you for being here today, Thank you for having me.

273
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break and be right back.

274
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: It is America's Voice Live Well the House Oversight com

275
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: Many asking some very important questions when it comes to

276
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: who exactly was in charge of that auto pen for

277
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: all of that time that Joe Biden was well not

278
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: up to the task, shall we say, Joining me now,

279
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: James Comer, a Congressman from the great state of Kentucky.

280
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: Thngs.

281
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: Bereen.

282
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: Nice to see you here today. Thanks for having me.

283
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: Let's start with.

284
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: This though, because I want to get to the auto pen.

285
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: But I wonder if this headline from today. It's not

286
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: often in this town that I have a bit of

287
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: a whiplash reaction. But when I saw the headline Kareem

288
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: John Pierce switch's party affiliation and is no longer a Democrat,

289
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: well that got my attention. Nobody was closer to Joe Biden.

290
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: Nobody stood out there and said it more that Joe

291
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: Biden was in great shape, mentally sharp, tough, full of

292
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: vigor for two years, eight months and change. She was

293
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: there telling us all how wonderful Joe Biden was I've

294
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: never seen this happen. Unprecedented is a word that's overused,

295
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: but in this case it might be, right, sir.

296
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: What do you make of this?

297
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised.

298
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 7: Look, we just had a laughlong Democrat in Kentucky, the

299
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 7: longest serving Democrat state senator in the Kentucky the General

300
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 7: Assembly switch parties this week.

301
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: People see the writing on the wall.

302
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 7: The Democrats, you know, they represent the illegals and you know, deranged,

303
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 7: depressed men and women that think governments the solution to

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 7: all of our problems. And you know, they just walked

305
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 7: away from the working men and women of America who

306
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 7: work hard and pay taxes and believe in the Constitution.

307
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 7: So I think you'll see a lot more people that

308
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 7: will start drifting away from the Democrat Party in the future.

309
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, she said, until January twenty, I was

310
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the

311
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: United States at noon on that day. I became a

312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: private citizen, but she was a private citizen. It was

313
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: an employee of Joe Biden, now private citizen that I

314
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: believe you would want to speak to if you wanted

315
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: to know absolutely condition of Joe Biden and the auto

316
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: pen being used fifteen hundred times just for commutations and pardons.

317
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: And a whole lot of other things. Somebody you're gonna call,

318
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: isn't she?

319
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, she has a good chance of being called. Look

320
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: Jean Pierre, Ian.

321
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 7: Simms, if you remember him, and doctor O'Connor, those are

322
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 7: three people that consistently stood in front of the American public,

323
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 7: either publicly or through statement, and said that.

324
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: Joe Biden was right. He's at the top of his game.

325
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 7: He's physically fit, he gets up and exercises.

326
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: He's binding sharper than it's ever been.

327
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 7: And everyone in the world knows that's not true.

328
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: Most of us knew at the time that wasn't true.

329
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 7: But now the people on CNN and you know, a

330
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 7: lot of the liberal media, they've just had a great awakening,

331
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 7: or they've just given up, or or I don't know

332
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 7: what they've done, but everyone knows those statements weren't truec So,

333
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 7: anyone who consistently defended Joe Biden's health and mental fitness,

334
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 7: they're going to be brought in to explain to us

335
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 7: what they what they based those statements thoughts.

336
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now here's the here's the challenge.

337
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: If I'm looking at this correctly.

338
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: The Constitution never considered such a thing because there wasn't

339
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: such a thing.

340
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: An auto pen didn't exist.

341
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: The president had to sign parts of the president had

342
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: to sign legislation. So here we are in a place

343
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: that we hadn't been there. How do you adjudicate this

344
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: from a constitutional.

345
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: Point of view?

346
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: From a legal point of view, if there were things

347
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: that were signed that you can drive at the conclusion

348
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden had no idea they were being signed,

349
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: where do we go from there?

350
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: It's uncharted territory.

351
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the key.

352
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 7: You know, there are some presidents where you can use

353
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 7: an auto pen. No one ever would have envisioned using

354
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 7: it every day on everything.

355
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 3: It was used by Obama when he was out.

356
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 7: Of the country once, and I think, you know, the

357
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 7: courts upheild that. But at the end of the day,

358
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 7: the question is, did Joe Biden know that the auto

359
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 7: pen was being used?

360
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: Did Joe Biden know what he was signing? Did Joe

361
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: Biden even give the authority.

362
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 7: To the low level staffers who who took the documents

363
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 7: and stuck them in the auto pin. That's where we're starting,

364
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 7: aren't at the bottom with the employees who we've identified

365
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 7: as being the lower level grut employees, who who manually

366
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 7: took the documents and stuck them in the autopit and

367
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 7: pressed power to.

368
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: Sign Joe Biden's signature. We're going to see who, who,

369
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 3: who offered us them to do that? What was the process?

370
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 7: Because we're talking about executive orders that impacted, you know,

371
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 7: everything from from energy policy to Trump proofing the government

372
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 7: where federal employees could continue to work from home and

373
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 7: not have to show up for work or show any productivity,

374
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 7: to to you know, the price of gasoline.

375
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: So there these are important decisions that were made that

376
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: were made by someone.

377
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 7: Uh and we want to find out who, because most

378
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 7: people don't believe Joe Biden.

379
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: Someone Well, then you come back.

380
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: To big pieces of legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act.

381
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: Did he actually sign up that, you know what was

382
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: in it?

383
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean President Trump was pointed out recently on another topic,

384
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: a big issue, that's the border. He said, Joe Biden

385
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: was never an open borders guy. Never, Why would he

386
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: say on all these things that allowed for an open border.

387
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: It's a fair question, isn't it. It is a It's

388
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: a very fair question.

389
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, at the at.

390
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 7: The end of the day, I think our investigation is

391
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 7: going to focus on the excessive use of the auto

392
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 7: pen and what the process was. There's no evidence anywhere

393
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 7: that we have found or that has emerged publicly that

394
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 7: would suggest Joe Biden ever gave the.

395
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: Authority to use it. What most people believe.

396
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 7: That's what people like Jake Tapper who argued with me

397
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 7: when I said Joe Biden was a mental invalid. Now

398
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 7: they're they're cashing in saying, oh, there was a cover

399
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 7: up and and uh, you know, the White House hid

400
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 7: hid Joe Biden's mental obvious mental decline. Who was the

401
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 7: person making the decision? Uh, the evidence would suggest it

402
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 7: was not Joe White. So we're going to try to

403
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 7: figure out who that person was. Because at State Is

404
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 7: you have all these executive orders that that we believe

405
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 7: could be easily be deemed h null and void in

406
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 7: the courts because they were essentially forged by low level staffers.

407
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, you know, here's the thing, Jake Tapper is not

408
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: the only guy selling a book. Jean Pierre also selling

409
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: a book. It comes out in October. Go figure one

410
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: more thing I want to ask before we run here today,

411
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: and that is Elon Musk obviously getting a lot of

412
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: attention for calling the big beautiful bill of disgusting abomination.

413
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: Having left the Doge.

414
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: Department, now, what are your thoughts about the former head

415
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: of DOSES comments? And I think there's some frustration in

416
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: this country when it comes to the House not working to.

417
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: Codify the Doge cuts.

418
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 7: Your thoughts, well, you know, it's disappointing that Musk would

419
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 7: say that he this.

420
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: Is President Trump's legislative agenda.

421
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 7: I mean, these are the tax cuts he talked about

422
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 7: on the camp and rail, this is the increased border security,

423
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 7: this is, you know, a lot of subsidient policy in

424
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 7: this one bill.

425
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: And President Trump's worked.

426
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 7: Very hard to get this legislation across the finish line.

427
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 7: So what Must said wasn't helpful. But at the end

428
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 7: of the day, I don't think it's gonna matter. The

429
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 7: White House just sent the dough the first bit of

430
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 7: the Doge cuts to us within the last twenty four hours,

431
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 7: so we're going.

432
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 3: To pass the Doge cut.

433
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 7: We just never had gotten anything from Must So I

434
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 7: think there's a lot of frustration with Musk.

435
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: He's certainly a brilliant mind.

436
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 7: He's worked in the private sector, he's always been the

437
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 7: bile so he could go in and fire people at will. Unfortunately,

438
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 7: you can't do that in the government. It would be

439
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 7: easier for everyone if you could, but you can't. And

440
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 7: I know that he faced a lot of the obstacles

441
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 7: and barriers that many of us have faced throughout the

442
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 7: past eight years trying to get government more efficient.

443
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 5: Toy.

444
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 7: I appreciate Eli musk I just disagree with him on

445
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 7: this bill.

446
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: Fair enough.

447
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: Cons from James Comer greatly appreciates you being here to day.

448
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: And look, all of these things are coming together. Now

449
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see a bill come back and be finished

450
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: before the fourth of July, as the President would like

451
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: to see.

452
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 2: And we'll keep an eye on it. Sir.

453
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: Thank you, yep, thank you.

454
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: There, you have it, all right, don't go anywhere.

455
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: America's Voice Live will continue after a short break.

456
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to America's Voice Live.

457
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: Glad to have you here as we bring you another

458
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: special edition from the nation's capital. We like being here

459
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: and giving you an up close look at everything that's

460
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: going on here.

461
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: From Washington, d C. All right, so join me now.

462
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: Is Pete Seth the National Taxpayers Union sending a letter

463
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: to the Senate urging them to make changes to the

464
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: tax policy within the Big Beautiful Bill.

465
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: Pete, nice to see you today. Oh, always great to

466
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: be here. So tell me about the letter.

467
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: The prospect of the Big Beautiful Bill actually being passed.

468
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: Republican leaders outlets like are looking at the bill to

469
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: see what could be tweaked, And as we talked about

470
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: with two members of Congress already in this program, there's

471
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of frustration out there. It's not just Elon Musk.

472
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: There are a lot of voters out there who are

473
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: frustrated with Republicans not getting something codified.

474
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: When it comes to cutting real spending.

475
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: What's the latter where we start, that's for sure.

476
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 8: Now on the tax side, I think we need to

477
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 8: maximize the economic growth potential of the one Big Beautiful Bill.

478
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 8: There are several things we could do to make sure

479
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 8: that happens. One of them, first and foremost, making sure

480
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 8: the business cost recovery provisions are made permanent. Sounds complicated,

481
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 8: but a big one is simply full and immediate expensing.

482
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 8: You invest one hundred thousand dollars in new plant and equipment,

483
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 8: but you can only write off twelve five hundred dollars

484
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 8: of that. The rest of it is phantom taxable income

485
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 8: to the business. That doesn't make sense. This bill corrects

486
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 8: the problem, but only for a limited period of time

487
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 8: a few years. We need to make that provision permanent.

488
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 8: That alone could help to double the economic growth forecast

489
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 8: that this bill has right now. When we have that

490
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 8: kind of economic growth, a lot of other things, like

491
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 8: fighting the deficit, become a little easier. A little you get,

492
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 8: so let me ask you that to the government, you

493
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 8: get more stable growth. But that doesn't mean we can

494
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 8: take the eye off federal spending. And you're right to

495
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 8: raise this concern sy.

496
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: We need well the number that i've seen here, the

497
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: numbers that I have seen three point seven trillion dollars

498
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: in tax cuts that stimulates economy, but above two trillion

499
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: dollars in additional deficit, which adds to the final debt number,

500
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: which is almost thirty seven trillion. We can't do that

501
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: anymore because if we continue down that road, we're going

502
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: to I end up.

503
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: In a place just like Greece did a few years ago.

504
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: A debt crisis is inevitable if we continue to.

505
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: Go that way.

506
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: But unlike Greece, nobody can bail us out.

507
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

508
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 3: That's right.

509
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 8: The projection right now under this bill is one point

510
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 8: eight trillion dollars in interest costs alone to service the

511
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 8: national debt what we currently have and what will add

512
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 8: to it. When you take a look at the last

513
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 8: debt auction, in other words, the place where we go

514
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 8: looking for buyers of our indebtedness, the results were not pretty.

515
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 8: The interest rates that we're going to have to keep

516
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 8: charging to lure people to take on more of this debt,

517
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 8: many of them from abroad, is going to get prohibitive.

518
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 8: And as you said, nobody's going to be around to

519
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 8: bail out the United States when it collapses. We cannot

520
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 8: afford a Greek style debt crisis. And the problem is

521
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 8: we don't exactly know where and when that happens. We

522
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 8: don't know what level of GDP our debt has to

523
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 8: be before it all collapses. We've got some goodwill here,

524
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 8: We've got some time, but not a lot. We cannot

525
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 8: get this wrong. Yes, we cannot get this wrong.

526
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

527
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: So I guess we'll have to wait and see what

528
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson does. And ran Paul does, and Rick Scott does,

529
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: and maybe even Mike Lee of Utah. We'll see, because

530
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: we have to keep an eye on all of that.

531
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: Pete, I got to leave it right there, my friend.

532
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,919

533
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,840

534
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: that July fourth goal, we'll see if they can get

535
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: it done in thirty days. I have no idea, Pete,

536
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,800

559
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: the break, I'll tell you about a Washington judge who

560
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: ruled against President Trump's two gender executive order. And no

561
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: matter that prisons must still accommodate transgender inmates.

562
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: That's right, Let the men live with women. What could

563
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: possibly go wrong for that? All right?

564
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: Look, I don't know where these ideas come from. I

565
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: don't think you know where these ideas come from. But

566
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: also on they're hearing, like, really, this is what we're discussing.

567
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump no stranger to federal judges ruling against

568
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: his executive orders or legislative proposals, no matter how much

569
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: common sense they're based in this time, the President faces

570
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: yet another injunction in court in regards to sex change

571
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: operations for convicted felons convicted killers.

572
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: Some of them is.

573
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: A judge in Washington State halted the president's executive order

574
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: and rule that the Federal Bureau of Prisons must continue

575
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: to provide clothing and hormone therapy to inmates seeking to

576
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: transition from one gender to another.

577
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: The Trump administration and it's.

578
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: Legal teams seek to prevail over this rule in citing

579
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: the basics of the executive orb, which states that it

580
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: is meant to recognize two genders and further added that

581
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: trendsgender inmates should be housed with male inmates.

582
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: That's where they belong.

583
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: Here to talk with me about this is legal expert

584
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: and host of What's Right. Sam Verzowski. Sam, nice to

585
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: have you here. Sorry about the last name thing. I

586
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: did my best.

587
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: Person say it for me.

588
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 9: I did Rjowski. So yeah, there we go.

589
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: There it is.

590
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: It's long enough, it's straight enough, it's right down the middle.

591
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: Gush started and kicked it through. All right.

592
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: Look, can you imagine even ten years ago, sitting here

593
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: discussing whether or not you and I the taxpayer, we're

594
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: going to pay for inmates to have, you know, parts

595
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: removed and other parts added, and they're gonna have hormone therapy,

596
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean really, and then we're gonna have men who

597
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: think they're women in with the women. Because what could

598
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong with that? I mean is has the

599
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: less in this particular instance, lost its collective mind.

600
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 10: Well, I, Steve, I think we agree on this one

601
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 10: hundred percent. This is insanity.

602
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

603
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 10: You know, obviously under the Eighth Amendments, you know, we

604
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 10: need to treat our prisoners with dignity. Uh, there's a

605
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 10: obviously a prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment and and

606
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 10: of course a requirement that the prisoners be given uh

607
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 10: you know, medical care that is you know, important for

608
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 10: their survival. There, in my view, is absolutely no basis

609
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 10: a for federal tax dollars to be to be spent

610
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 10: on inmates for these procedures. And then and then b

611
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 10: of course, the separate issue, which I think is far

612
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 10: more serious, is placing oftentimes sex offender males in with

613
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 10: females in custody. That's insanity, and and the you know,

614
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 10: there's a duty.

615
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: Of I shouldn't laugh because this is serious stuff, but

616
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: it is so absurd that I'm like, I can't even

617
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: believe we're.

618
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: Having a conversation like this.

619
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Sam, the Democrats don't even believe

620
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: this is the right thing to do. That they don't

621
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: This is an eighty twenty This might even be a

622
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: ninety ten issue. I mean, this is so far beyond

623
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, what people support in this country. In fact,

624
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: I would say this, go ahead, give it a trial run.

625
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: Go to Massachusetts or Connecticut or California, any other deep

626
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: blue state.

627
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: Put it on the ballot.

628
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: Put it on the ballot if you believe this is

629
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, and find out how voters feel.

630
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: You'll get obliterated, right.

631
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 9: Well, one hundred percent. It is.

632
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 10: It pulls somewhere around eighty eighty five, obviously on the

633
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 10: side of sanity. And you know that means that the

634
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 10: people that are for this are somewhere in the same

635
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 10: region as folks who believe in Bigfoot.

636
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 9: All right, so you're you're absolutely right.

637
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 10: It's it absolutely is going to be one of the

638
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 10: crazier things that we that future historians look back on

639
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 10: in this era of things that we've done. That said,

640
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 10: you know, while the mainstream of America is at odds

641
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 10: with this, believe it or not, you know, for the

642
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 10: Democratic Party, this is an issue that they push and

643
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 10: as recently as a twenty twenty four election, when they

644
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 10: were you know, when they had their you know, they're

645
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 10: getting getting ready and putting together their party platform, Steve,

646
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 10: they they talked about this was like a big issue

647
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 10: for them. So in the minds of Democrats, this is

648
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 10: still a winning deal. And I think it's crazy.

649
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: It's confused on.

650
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: The big Foot thing, right, are we talking about straight

651
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: bigfoot or transgender Bigfoot?

652
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just.

653
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 10: I mean, this is right, well we're talking about I

654
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 10: guess we're just talking about the the og Bigfoot.

655
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 9: But but it doesn't at this point, it could be anything.

656
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 10: And and the same amount of people out there that

657
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 10: think that that that Bigfoot is real think that we

658
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 10: ought to be putting men in with you know, women

659
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 10: in prison and at the same time simultaneously showing out

660
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 10: tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars for their

661
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 10: sex change operations.

662
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: Beneita nice have parts added in, parts removed. And by

663
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: the way, once you have parts added in, parts removed,

664
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: you become a medical patient for the rest of your life.

665
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: It's not like you just have the surgery and you

666
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: go on your merryway. Doesn't work that way, news flash.

667
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: And if you ever run a field, really ill go

668
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: look at the pictures of what this transitioning thing looks like.

669
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm serious, Sam.

670
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: If people want to be honest and they say I

671
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: support this, go look at the pictures. Go look at

672
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 1: the pictures and tell me you still support this.

673
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: I give you the last word.

674
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I always I have looked at the pictures,

675
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 10: and I go back to you know, if you think,

676
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 10: for example, that trans folks onto work be in the military,

677
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 10: in active duty combat, look at those pictures and you'll

678
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 10: realize that just as it is impossible, you have seeping wounds.

679
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 10: It's terrible stuff. Ongoing medical carrier, absolutely right, so crazy

680
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 10: crazy stuff.

681
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's beyond the pale.

682
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: Sam, I great, Lee, appreciate you being here.

683
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.

684
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 9: Save my pleasure.

685
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: All right, don't go anywhere.

686
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: America's Voice Live will continue.

687
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: In a moment. All right, welcome back to America's Voice Live.

688
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 2: I sure do enjoy being in DC. You know why.

689
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: There's a lot of action around here, and you're always

690
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: in the thick of it.

691
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: And that's why I enjoy being here, all right.

692
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: So House minoritator and Democrat Hakeem Jeffreys vowed yesterday to

693
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: unmasked too. Unmasked to docs is the word they use

694
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: every single ICE agent and tell the world who they are.

695
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

696
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 3: It is single.

697
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 11: ICE agent who's engaged in this aggressive overreach, and I'm

698
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 11: trying to to hide their identities from the American people

699
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 11: will be unsuccessful in doing that.

700
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: This is America, this is not the Soviet Union.

701
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 12: We're not behind the Iron curtain, this is not the

702
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 12: nineteen thirties, and every single one of them, no matter

703
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 12: what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will

704
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 12: of course be identified. That in fact is the law,

705
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 12: and we're going to make sure that the American people

706
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 12: have the transparency necessary to.

707
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: Hold people accountable.

708
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: When they're folks who cross the.

709
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: Line, cross the line.

710
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: By enforcing the law, threatening them and their families. Jeffrey's

711
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: threats came a day after Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons

712
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: explained in detail and quite clearly at a press conference

713
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: on operation why ICE is wearing masks. It's because of

714
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: people like Jeffries and the people that he riles up.

715
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

716
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 13: People are out there taking photos, the names, their faces,

717
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 13: and posting them online with death threats to their family

718
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 13: and themselves. So I'm sorry if people are offended by

719
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 13: them wearing masks, but I'm not going to let my

720
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 13: officers and agents go out there and put their lives

721
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 13: on the line and their family on the line. Because

722
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 13: people don't like what Immigration enforcement is. They are wearing

723
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 13: those masks because we ran an operation with the Secret Service.

724
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 13: We arrested someone that was going online taking their photos,

725
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 13: posting their families, their kids, Instagram, their kids facebooks, and

726
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 13: targeting them. So let me ask, is that the issue

727
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 13: here that we're just upset about the masks or is

728
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 13: anyone upset with the fact that ice officers families were

729
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 13: labeled terrorists?

730
00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: Remarkable? Isn't it?

731
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: The Democrat Party? What have you believe?

732
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 2: It's okay to unmask.

733
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: Federal law enforcement agents so they can be identified, their

734
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: houses targeted, their kids targeted, their wives and families targeted,

735
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: and their husbands and their extended family. The party of

736
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: mandatory masks, the party that told you were you were

737
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: a child killer if you didn't wear a mask, now

738
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: demanding that agents be un masks.

739
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: So their kids could be free game.

740
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: You figure it out, because I certainly cannot. The FBI

741
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: announced yesterday the arrest of thirty three year old Yun

742
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: Shing Jian, a former University of Michigan researcher, on Tuesday,

743
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: charged with conspiracy conspiracy to smuggle if Yousar greviner him

744
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: a toxic fungus that causes head blight. It's a disease

745
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: that destroys wheat, barley, corn.

746
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: And rice.

747
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: It can result in billions of losses yearly. I had

748
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: to talk to a farmer this spring. He said it

749
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: would result in fifty percent crop laws. Its toxins can

750
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: also harm humans and lives to Jian had been living

751
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: in the US since twenty twenty one on a JAY

752
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: one visa. Remains in custody waiting a detention hearing scheduled

753
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. Her co conspirator, thirty four year old Zun

754
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: Young Leo.

755
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: Was conquering the fungus at.

756
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: Detroit Mountain Politan Airport July the twenty seventh, to night

757
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: entry returned to China. Both faced charges of conspiracy, smuggling,

758
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: making false statements, visa fraud, and more. Jian alleged to

759
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: the York State of the plot using her research expertise.

760
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: While Lou attempted to deliver the materials, she also reportedly

761
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: signed a loyalty pledge to the CCP. Now here's the

762
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: problem we face right now. We have fungicides that can

763
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: control this disease that they had in their possession. But

764
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: if they're trying to weaponize the disease make it resistant

765
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: to fungicide, well, nobody knows.

766
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: What could happen.

767
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: Then we could have fifty percent crop loss or more.

768
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: Are they trying to inflict famine on America?

769
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: I'll let you answer that question.

770
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: The Trump administration continues to roll full steam ahead for

771
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: America and her citizens, moving mountains at the speed of light. However,

772
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: when they're trying to right the country and write their ship,

773
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: they can't also take your personal.

774
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: Finances into account. You have to do that.

775
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: That's why thousands of Americans are now buying gold from

776
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: Birch Gold.

777
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 2: Here are the facts.

778
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: Over the past twelve months, the value of gold is

779
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: increased by thirty percent. Central banks are buying gold in

780
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: record quantities, so demand doesn't seem to be subsiding, not

781
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: at all. The real resets on the horizon the bricks.

782
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: Nations are looking to unseat the US dollars the global

783
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: reserve currency, but you can find peace of mind and gold.

784
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: Birch Gold makes it extremely easy to convert an existing

785
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: Ira or four n k in too attacked sheltered dirae

786
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: and physical gold, or you could even buy some to

787
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,640

Speaker 1: Do you think Elon Musk is right about the Big

803
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill? Does Congress need to spend less.

Speaker 1: right every day. Just remind me how great America is.

815
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: So today's story comes to us from Seward, Alaska, lovely

816
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: place by the way, where a man's wife stuck with

817
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: her husband for three hours with a seven hundred pound

818
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: boulder resting on top of him.

819
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 2: Oof.

820
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: The couple, Cal Morris Joe Roup walking along a hiking

821
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: trail known as God Would Glacier, and what seemed like

822
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: a normal outing quickly sprout into a question of life

823
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: or death when the man slipped and tumbled down a

824
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: rockbed and landed in the water where he and first

825
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: he got caught under the boulder, he got wedged in there.

826
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: The man's wife quickly went down the rock bed tried

827
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: to help her husband by putting rocks under the boulder

828
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: to try to roll it off.

829
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: At her attempts ineffective.

830
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: Roupe then called emergency services, but she had to leave

831
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: to do it.

832
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 2: Was able to give exact co Warder.

833
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: Is due to her past law enforcement experience. Here's where

834
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: we are. I need help right now. When emergency crews

835
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: got there, found the man's wife holding Morris's head above water.

836
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: Morris was also.

837
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: Coming in and out of consciousness and showing signs of hypothermia.

838
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 2: The water there is cold, to say the least, But.

839
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: Through the effort of seven people the emergency personnel, we're

840
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: able to get the massive boulder off the man and

841
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: get him to the hospital.

842
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. Being caught in.

843
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: A situation where life and death is in question and

844
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: also a horrifying prospect. But there's Joe Rupe's determination to

845
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: help her husband and stick by his side. It's indicative

846
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: of values that make America wonderful.

847
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: Well done, everybody, well done. Here's the question of the day.

848
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: Do you think Elon Musk is right about the big

849
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: beautiful bill? Does Congress need to spend less?

850
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: Why or why not? Brian Sharkey writes, says Elon who's right.

851
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: We need to spend less because our deficit is hovering

852
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: by the moon.

853
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 2: It's so high.

854
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: Riv Rice never thought I'd say this, but yes, he's right.

855
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: He's spot on because the spineless bunch in DC are

856
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: more concerned about re election than paying down our debt

857
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: that they created. They represent their pockets, not the people.

858
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: Richard Alla need more massive cuts, Need more.

859
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 2: Massive cuts, tax cuts.

860
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: Is there to induce voting on this pig of a bill.

861
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: Spending must end At some point? Elon did his job

862
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: up to Doze and Trump to force more cuts. If not,

863
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: it will be the death of the GOP in twenty

864
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: six and twenty eight. You know, I'm telling you there

865
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: is a lot of anger out there.

866
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 2: When it comes to spending. Barbara grahams right.

867
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: So of course we need to spend less, but we

868
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: also need a plan that is acceptable and passes. What

869
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: good is a slim down bill that dies in Congress?

870
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: You don't always get what you want. Reminds me of

871
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: a song Angel Woodham. The purpose of DOGE is to

872
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: cut waste, fraud, and abuse. So if this builds any way,

873
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: who supports any of these, then he is right. Barbar

874
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: Croach partaka. I thought that was the whole point. I

875
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: thought that was the whole point. And Lisa Letia Moska

876
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: is right. Congress wants the gravy train to keep moving

877
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: for them. Most of them care only for themselves.

878
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 2: It's so sad but true. We'll leave it there for today.

879
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: Srettly glad that you were here today. I always enjoy

880
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: my time in the nation's capital. Not as bad as

881
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: you might think. It's a swamp, all right, but it's okay.

882
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: I can't wait to start the broadcast day. I mil

883
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: America's Voice with you tomorrow morning, right here, right and
