But before we do, 15 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: amanda President on affordabily tour. I think as early as 16 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: next week we could see an Oval Office speech from 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: him talking to the American public.

Joining 62 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,559 Speaker 1: us the Chairman of the House Oversight and the Accountability 63 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: Committee Chairman, James Commerce. 64 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 5: So good to have you on the show. 65 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. 66 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 5: All right. 67 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm super excited that your ACE team and you really 68 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: do have this great team of investigators working with you 69 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: are digging into this because I have a funny feeling 70 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: those whistleblowers in the state agencies. 71 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 5: We're talking to us back in twenty. 72 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: Four they've got a lot more proof about just how 73 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: much wilful blindness was going on. 74 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 5: What are you hearing from those whistleblowers. 75 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 4: Well, whistleblowers make my life a lot easier. Everything works 76 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: easier when we lead these congressional investigations when we have credible, 77 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: honest whistleblowers, and that's what it appears we have here 78 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: in Minnesota. This goes against the narrative that the Democrats 79 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 4: have been saying for a long time, first of all, 80 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: that illegals aren't receiving any type of welfare benefits. Secondly, 81 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 4: that there's no way spraud abuse and their beloved social programs. 82 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: I think what we're going to find in Minnesota is 83 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 4: probably happening in many other states. Minnesota could be and 84 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: hopefully is the worst offender, but there are other blue 85 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: states run by blue go by Democrat governors who refused 86 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 4: to turn over any data, not only to Congress, but 87 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: to the cabinet secretaries like Brooke Rawlins who are trying 88 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 4: to get a handle on programs like SNAP. So we 89 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: have these lisle blowers. We requested documents and correspondence. We're 90 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 4: going to conduct this investigation like we have our other 91 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 4: high profile investigations in the past, and we're going to 92 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: try to figure out first of all, how much money 93 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 4: was stolen. 94 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 6: Uh. 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 4: Secondly, who's responsible for that? Third was Governor Waltz and 96 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 4: Attorney General Ellison, where they warned that this was happening, 97 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 4: but yet they turned a blind eye because of political reason. 98 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: Uh. 99 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: And then can we hold people accountable and can people 100 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 4: pay for this disgross abuse of American tax dollars? 101 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: When when it comes to that accountability, are we bumping 102 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 3: up against any type of timeline, any type of statute timeline. 103 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: I don't think so. At this moment, we haven't felt 104 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 4: like that was going to be any type of problem. 105 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 4: There's always a statue of limitation. They but to see 106 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: how far back this went. But it's our understanding that 107 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: we should be within the statue limitations for the majority 108 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 4: of the crimes that have been committed. 109 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: So important, So let me ask you a little bit 110 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: about you got seventy seven people indicted just in the 111 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: fraud scheme, and you got the autism scheme and some 112 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: other ones you mentioned. 113 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 5: You're looking in to see. 114 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: Whether Waltz and Ellison and other state officials were tipped off. 115 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: Do you have any early evidence suggesting they were getting 116 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: warning signs and turning a blind. 117 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 4: Eyed Well, we've been told that they were. There have 118 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 4: been reports that we were, and the employees have tweeted 119 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 4: out on a government Twitter handle that they were warned 120 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 4: numerous times, not just one time, but numerous times that 121 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: this fraud was happening. But yet they didn't want to 122 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 4: do anything about it because they didn't want to offend 123 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: the Somali voting block in Minnesota. And look, this is 124 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: all about politics. 125 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 7: Uh. 126 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 4: The the the Democrats that you know champion many of 127 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 4: these social programs. They don't care if there's massive amounts 128 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 4: of waste fraud abuse as long as their voting base 129 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 4: is happy. As long as they can keep their voting 130 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 4: base dependent on the government and keep the government tax 131 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 4: dollars flowing to their voting base, then they're okay with it. 132 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 4: And that's the difference between most Republicans and most Democrats 133 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: in Congress is that the Republicans care about our tax 134 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 4: dollars and sincerely want to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement. 135 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: Democrats don't care as long as their base is happy. 136 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: As long as they can continue to take credit for 137 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 4: all types of welfare programs, then they want to continue 138 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 4: to do it. And I think it's important to note 139 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 4: that we believe that that this this fraud UH covered 140 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 4: many types of social programs, from housing programs, the education programs, 141 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: to agriculture programs to the SNAP and other types of 142 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 4: welfare CITs. I'm sure medicaid fraud. Again, remember the Democrats 143 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: said there were no illegals. Don't medicate. Just stay tuned 144 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: to that. But at the end of the day, hopefully 145 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: we'll be able to get some answers and next hopefully 146 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 4: we can get some accountability. 147 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: It's easier to get answers if people are here in 148 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: the United States, and it sounds to me like there 149 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: are a number of people within this investigation who are 150 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: not Americans and not legal immigrants. Have you communicated to 151 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: the federal government who these people are, because they might 152 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: have deportation orders and if they get deported, they're gonna 153 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: be a lot harder to nail doown. 154 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: Not yet, We're just trying to get all the state 155 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: documents and we're going to go from there. We're going 156 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: to try to follow the money like we always do 157 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: once we get I think the most important evidence at 158 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 4: the beginning is going to be from the state employees, 159 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: and then we can go from there and the evidence 160 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 4: that they've accumulated. Obviously they have the receipts or they 161 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: wouldn't have put on that government Twitter handle. In my 162 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 4: opinion criticizing the governor. I've never seen anything like that. 163 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: And you know, if Minnesota is like Kentucky and most 164 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: other states, then most of those state employees in that 165 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: particular agency are probably more left and ideological leanings. So 166 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 4: for them to go after a sitting governor that that's 167 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 4: probably more ideologically aligned with them than someone like myself, 168 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 4: I think that's that's pretty compelling evidence. But again, you know, 169 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 4: Walts gets due process, but the way he's handling this 170 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: and the way Ellison, the Attorney General is kind of 171 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 4: hid right now, makes me pretty confident that there's a 172 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: massive amount of waste fraud abuse that's about to be 173 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 4: detected here. And I'm going to predict that Walt's political 174 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 4: careers is closer to an end than somewhere in the middle. 175 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 5: Wow, that's pretty powerful. 176 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you the question, will you 177 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: need subpoenas? Do you think that you'll have an uncooperative 178 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: bunch and we'll need to compel them to produce the evidence. 179 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 1: And do you look at other states like neighboring Wisconsin 180 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: where Tom Tiffany can't get the SNAP benefits? Do you 181 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: expand this to other Blue states to see if the 182 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: pattern is there. 183 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 4: I've been communicating with Brooke Rowlins. I'm very close with 184 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 4: the Department of Agriculture people. Prior to coming to Congress, 185 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 4: I was Commissioner of Agriculture Kentucky. So I'm, you know, 186 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: a very pretty you know, a pretty extensive knowledge of 187 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 4: the agriculture programs and how programs like SNAP and other 188 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 4: food programs operate. I know that Brook Rowlins has requested 189 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: data from all fifty states, and all the Republican governors 190 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 4: have turned over that data. None of the Democrat governors, 191 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 4: including my Democrat governor in Kentucky andw Sheher, have turned 192 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 4: over that data. They're just criticizing Rawlins for having the 193 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 4: audacity to ask that question. That's not going to cut it. 194 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 4: We're serious about providing oversight, We're serious about rooting out 195 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 4: waste broad abuse. So I think that that we're definitely 196 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 4: going to expand this, especially with the SNAP programs in 197 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 4: coordination with you. It's a part of agriculture in other states. 198 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 4: But in Minnesota, again, the governor wals he's innocent until 199 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 4: proven guilty. We're gonna give him due process. But I 200 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 4: think that if anyone that has received correspondence from US 201 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: thus far requesting information, if they don't turn over that information, 202 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 4: then they will get a subpoena. And we're serious about this. 203 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 4: We're not going to back down because this just isn't 204 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 4: about Minnesota. This just isn't about the Somali community. This 205 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: is about every state in every social program, because we 206 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 4: believe that this is happening in other states. Maybe not 207 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 4: at the same level, maybe not at the same for 208 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 4: capita per population, but we believe this is happening in 209 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: many states. So we're excited about this investigation, and hopefully 210 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 4: we'll have more state employees step forward and do the 211 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: right thing and blow the whistle, because I hope if 212 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 4: one thing has been learned about time as Chairman of 213 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 4: the House Oversight Committee, we go to great links to 214 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 4: protect whistle blowers. Democrats only protect us the blowers that 215 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 4: were all the whistle against Republicans. We protect us the blowers, 216 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: regardless of party affiliation, regardless of who they're blowing the 217 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 4: whistle book. So we welcome more people to come forward 218 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 4: with evidence of wrongdoing and we'll do something about it. 219 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 8: Important, sir, before. 220 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 3: We let you go, you have become quite skilled at 221 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: reading bank records thanks to your investigations into the Bidens. 222 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: How many stars reports did did Hunter Biden rack up? 223 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: I can't even keep count anymore. But you have subpoenaed 224 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 3: records from I believe Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan with 225 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: respect to Jeffrey Epstein. 226 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 2: Any progress on that. 227 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're working with us. They're turning over the bank records. 228 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 4: This is a massive amount of bank records. I think 229 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 4: the thing that's shocked me thus far is is how 230 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 4: many transactions Epstein had. I'm not saying there's anything illegal yet. 231 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 4: I'm not prepared to see anything, but I'm curious as 232 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 4: to how he accumulated so much wealth. His estate is 233 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 4: worth three quarters of a billion dollars, and you know, 234 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 4: by all accounts, he didn't inherit anything, so I'm not 235 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 4: real certain how he made his money. Again, I'm not 236 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 4: saying that there was anything illegal there other than the 237 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 4: way he treated those girls. I mean, there's no question 238 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 4: they're viewing thousands of crimes committed by Epstein. We're curious 239 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: about where his money was coming from and why why 240 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: were certain people wiring him massive amounts of money, where 241 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 4: these legitimate business deals or with something else going on there, 242 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 4: and that hopefully be what we'll be able to find. 243 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 5: Are you finding cooperation with the CIA. 244 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 4: The well with rerespect to the bank records? The private 245 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 4: banks are working with us. And remember there's there's one 246 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,119 Speaker 4: thing I didn't know John until we start doing this sophistigation. 247 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 4: There are a lot of class action loss each out there. 248 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 4: When you're talking about the state with nowhar that's about 249 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 4: about a billion dollars, there are a lot of class 250 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 4: action lawsuits out there, and it becomes a little more 251 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 4: difficult to get some of these bank records when there 252 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: are class action lawsuits. But thus far the banks have 253 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 4: been cooperative. 254 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: And do you think the CIA, though, has has any 255 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: files on on Epstein that could be of use to you. 256 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 4: I don't know. I've talked to people in the in 257 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 4: the FBI, but we'll see. We're going to have I'm 258 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 4: going to have that conversation with Bradcliffe. I have not 259 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 4: had that conversation with Radcliffe yet at the at the CIA, 260 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 4: but but we'll we will have that conversation. Look, that's 261 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 4: one of the suspicions that a lot of people have 262 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 4: was that the government was was using Epstein Island or 263 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 4: maybe even his properties in in West Palm Beach and 264 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 4: New York City, UH for to gather intelligence. I don't 265 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 4: know if that's true or not. I have no idea, 266 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 4: but I want to know, and we're going to do 267 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 4: everything in our ability to try to get the truth 268 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 4: through the American people. 269 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 5: There's no doubt. 270 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: Your record shows you'll get it too, whether it's the 271 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: Biden Pardons, the Biden investigation, all the great other oversight 272 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: work you've done on illegal immigration. You always get to 273 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: the bottom of a story. Mister Chairman, great honor to 274 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: have you on the show today.

That 379 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 4: might be another stage to save American tux. 380 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 10: I haven't been asked that question in a long time. Uh, 381 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 10: no tax on gambling winnings. 382 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 4: I don't know. 383 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 10: We have no tax on tips, we have no tax 384 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 10: on social Security, and we have no tax on overtime. 385 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 10: No tax on gambling winnings. 386 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 5: I don't know about that. I'm gonna have to think 387 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 5: about that. 388 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 10: I think it's better to go up and maybe take 389 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 10: our seats. 390 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 5: Is a pretty rough light. 391 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 10: Bye everybody, by everybody. 392 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 5: I hope to see you again.

Attorney 402 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 3: General for Texas and Texas Senate candidate and Paxson, Sir, 403 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: thanks so much. 404 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: For being with us. Great to be here in person, 405 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 2: love it in person. It's great, all right, So talk 406 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: to us about up the dynamics in Texas. A big, big. 407 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 3: Win at the Supreme Court, and so. 408 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Now decks are getting shuffled. 409 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 3: Got people who are moving over to senate races, people 410 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 3: who are switching congressional districts. But for you, you're sailing. 411 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, congressional redistioning has been pretty crazy. We 412 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 12: had to do it during our last session. Of course, 413 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 12: you know, the Democrats took off and bet O'Rourke was 414 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 12: funding all of their costs, so we ended up suing 415 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 12: his nonprofit and ultimately stopping his funding of that. As 416 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 12: soon as that happened, the Democrats came back the next day. 417 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 12: So it's funny how the money got cut off, all 418 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 12: their expenses get weren't being paid more than they came back. 419 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 12: We had the vote, and obviously we've been through a 420 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 12: few lawsuits or a lawsuit to deal with this, and 421 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 12: thankfully on Friday, the Supreme Court came through and we 422 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 12: had a six to three majority opinion that said we 423 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 12: could go forward with our congressional maps and go forward 424 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 12: with our election. 425 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 11: Otherwise we were in chaos. It was literally filing just ended. 426 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 12: I think it was yesterday, and so I don't really 427 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 12: know exactly what would happen had we not had the 428 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 12: US Supreme Court step in, but it would have been 429 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 12: a messy. 430 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: It's important because I don't think a lot of people 431 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't think so all of this is retaliatory. When 432 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: it comes to redistrict went in Texas, it was actually 433 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: court ordered right. The Fifth Circle had told you, guys, hey, 434 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: get rid of these racial districts. 435 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 5: Do it the right way. So you had the law 436 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 5: on your side right from the beginning. 437 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 11: We definitely had the law on our side. 438 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 12: It was a legislative decision to go forward with it, 439 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 12: which is the way it's supposed to work. 440 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 11: The Supreme Court has. 441 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 12: Said political decisions were fined, and that's exactly what our. 442 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 11: Legislature did, and they have every right. 443 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 12: As you know, there are what nine democratic states that 444 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 12: have no Republican representation. They've completely jerrymandered the state. It's 445 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 12: about time, and I think the President Trump was right 446 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 12: when he suggested that we should go forward in Republican 447 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 12: states and start doing some of the same things. 448 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 11: It's clearly allowed by the law. And it's really unfair 449 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 11: for us not to do it. 450 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 12: And that's why I encourage other states as Missouri has 451 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 12: already done, hopefully Indiana and there's any others to. 452 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 11: Do the same thing. They should absolutely do it. 453 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 12: Why not if these other states like Massachusetts have no 454 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 12: Republican representation in states like Illinois only have three Republicans 455 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 12: out of seventeen. 456 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 3: And Jeff supposed that with California, California is going to 457 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 3: be defending Prop fifties passage in their state and what 458 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 3: they want to do with their jerry mandering. If you 459 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 3: were attorney general of California, would you say it's defensible. 460 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 11: So I don't know their state. 461 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 12: It's all based on state law and they had to 462 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 12: go maneuver around their state laws. I know that the 463 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 12: Justice Department is looking at that, and I think they're 464 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 12: involved in the case against California. So look, I don't 465 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 12: I don't know how that's going to turn out because 466 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 12: I don't really know California state law. But it does 467 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 12: seem like they had to maneuver around their own constitution 468 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 12: to get it through, so I would my guess is 469 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 12: that it's not constitutional under California's constitution. 470 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: The Louisiana case, well, I think ultimately addressed the issue 471 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: that came all the way from the Civil rights there, 472 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: and that's racial jerrymanding. Seems like the equal Protection clause 473 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: of the Constitution may give us a different format going forward. 474 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: Your state is sort of insulated from that, but Louisiana 475 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: could change the rules for some of those Blue states. 476 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 6: Right. 477 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's actually correct, and we've been fortunate we got 478 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 12: out of some of the that we got other preclearent 479 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 12: stuff that DJ used to impose on all states. It's 480 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 12: ridiculous that we ever had to deal with the Department 481 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 12: of Justice overseeing our state elections. For independent states, we 482 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 12: were created independently before the federal government existed. 483 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 11: They created the federal. 484 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 12: Government, so we the federal government should not be overseeing 485 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 12: our elections. 486 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 6: In Texas, I want to switch gears to your race 487 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 6: because you are primary in John Cornyan someone who has 488 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 6: been in office, as you said, since you were in college. 489 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that you're definitely not old, but 490 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 3: it's still a long time for someone to serve in office. 491 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 492 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 12: So he's asking for a fifth term from Texans, which 493 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 12: no Texan has ever served five terms, not Sam Houston, 494 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 12: not John twer now LBJ, not Phil Graham. 495 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 11: And he's doing that. He's been in office since I 496 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 11: was in college. 497 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 12: And I'm turning sixty three this month, so that tells 498 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 12: you he's been over four decades. 499 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 11: And the question that I ask everybody. 500 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 12: I told you this earlier is can you name my 501 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 12: best every group, every individual? Can you name one accomplishment, 502 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 12: one good accomplishment, not the bad accomplishments. We have plenty 503 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 12: of those from John Cornyn, but can you name one 504 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 12: good accomplishment? And so far is ever giving me an 505 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 12: answer that question, not one in forty four decades. 506 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 5: That's a political problem. 507 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 12: If you're John Corny, there's no double kerry constituents with 508 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 12: John has not you need to go home. And it's 509 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 12: time that we had representation more like Ted Cruz than 510 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 12: John Cornyn. 511 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: So I want to talk about some of the innovative 512 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: things that Texas has set, I think the standard for 513 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: addressing a lot of the ills in this country. You 514 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: were the first on the border, the first to declare 515 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: Muslim brotherhood of terrorist organization. You went in and started 516 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: looking at these nonprofits that funded the border invasion and 517 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: used your regulatory capability to give them a license to 518 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: do fundraising, to really start to rein in what they 519 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: were doing. You've been affirmed about three or four times 520 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: in the course. Now, is this a model for other 521 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: states to do the same thing. 522 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 12: Absolutely, Look, we were suspicious of these nonprofits because we 523 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 12: thought they were receiving large sums of federal money. 524 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 11: And as it turns out, we believe. 525 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 12: The Biden administration was washing their money to help bring 526 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 12: all these illegals and pay for all their stuff through 527 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 12: these nonprofits. Because of nonprofit have to report well in Texas, 528 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 12: the Attorney General's office that me, the Attorney General has 529 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 12: oversight to make sure that there's not deceptive trade, deceptive practices, 530 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 12: or fraudulent practices by nonprofits. So all we did was 531 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 12: start asking questions. And as soon as I start asking questions, 532 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 12: they suit us. And I started getting attacked by all 533 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 12: these democratic politicians I meant attack I. We got attacked 534 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 12: by the Pope as being supposedly anti Catholic. And all 535 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 12: I did was ask some questions about how they were 536 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 12: spending money, and they suit us, and so we've been 537 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 12: in litigation with them and several other nonprofits about this 538 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 12: washing of federal money and then using it potentially for 539 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 12: illegal activities like trafficking humans from you know, other countries. 540 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: I can just follow up on that. You now are 541 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: starting to see some of the records from this. What 542 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: is the Democrats motive? Is it a rig apportionment? 543 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 12: There's no doubt they want to They want more illegal 544 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 12: so they can they can control congressional apportionment. They also 545 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 12: eventually want them voting in their favor, and they think 546 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 12: by giving them free stuff and taking care of them, 547 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 12: you know, free housing, free healthcare, you know, cell phone money, 548 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 12: that they're basically buying votes. And they're using trillions of dollars, 549 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 12: billions of dollars our money to buy these votes. And 550 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 12: that's not the way our Republic's supposed to operate. 551 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about what we have seen 552 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 3: in Minnesota this what could end up being historic fraud 553 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: in that state that's being uncovered. I don't think that 554 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 3: could happen in Texas, not only because you're in office 555 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 3: as attorney general, but there just doesn't seem to be 556 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: the political infrastructure in place in Texas for that type 557 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: of fraud to happen on that level. 558 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 2: Is it on purpose that it's happening in blue states. 559 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 12: Yes, absolutely so, Yes, and it could happen in Texas. 560 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 12: We had laws in place that allowed me to go 561 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 12: after for instance, what happened to Donald Trump in twenty twenty. 562 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 11: It was happening in Texas. We were the target. 563 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 12: We were a target state, just like Georgia, just like Michigan. 564 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 12: I filed twelve lawsuits and all these liberal counties, all 565 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 12: these liberal judges were having mail. We're going to have 566 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 12: mail in ballots go out everybody in violation of Texas 567 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 12: law because we had COVID and we were losing because 568 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 12: we're in liberal counties all like Austin and Houston and 569 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 12: Alice and San Antonio. 570 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 11: We're losing. Court of Appeal is saying liberal. 571 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 12: I had to get it to the Sex Supreme Courts 572 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 12: and a pretty you know, unique maneuver to avoid having 573 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 12: a Georgia situation in Michigan. So they've tried, and they 574 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 12: also tried to disarm me. This Quarter of Criminal Appeals, 575 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 12: which is our highest court on criminals, stop me from 576 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 12: prosecuting voter fraud. Now we're getting that back. I've got 577 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 12: the legislature to reauthorize it. We're electing new judges, but 578 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 12: it has been a fight to stop voter fraud even 579 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 12: in my state. So if you don't have active sort 580 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 12: of focus on integrity of elections, which is the most 581 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 12: important issue nationally because we don't have safe elections, then 582 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 12: all the other issues don't matter. 583 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 11: We lose. 584 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: The Democrats seem to be much more demoralized about their 585 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: chances in Texas. If Jos mcrockett turns out to be 586 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: the best I could put up against you, they're yielding 587 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: the race, aren't they. 588 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 12: I know she and John Corner are good friends, and 589 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 12: John Corner said they are dance partners, like he said, 590 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 12: you need, you know, people in both houses. And so 591 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 12: she's she's, you know, I've offered to be her dance partner. 592 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 12: So there, and she's actually said very nice things about 593 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 12: John Corner, saying he's the right kind of Republican for 594 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 12: for us in Texas. 595 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 11: And so Jasmine and John Corner are great. That they're 596 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 11: neither one of them going to serve as our next 597 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 11: to us. 598 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 12: Like a great political app it's a great I want 599 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 12: to ask. 600 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 3: You about these audits that you are demanding from cities 601 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 3: across Texas, because we you know, it doesn't matter if 602 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 3: it's a red county or blue county. We see this 603 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 3: all over the country for aud existing within within those 604 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 3: types of governments. 605 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 2: What are you doing about it? 606 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 3: And is this something that could be propagated at the 607 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: federal level. 608 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, so it's a pretty reasonable requirement. It's put in 609 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 12: place by our text legislature. I think is a very 610 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 12: reasonable that their books be audited and that it would 611 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 12: be fully transparent how they're spending their Money's how's that 612 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 12: a bad idea? 613 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 11: Well, some of them haven't done it. 614 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 12: In order in order to raise your taxes, you have 615 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 12: to have your books auditor. 616 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 11: Well, several of our cities says we're not doing it. 617 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 12: Of course, they don't want the voters to know how 618 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 12: they're spending their money, and so we've gone after them 619 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 12: for trying to raise their taxes without following tax slaws. 620 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 12: So is that if their voters know what they're spending, 621 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 12: then they have they're authorized to raise taxes a certain 622 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 12: percentage property tax and by the way, we have very 623 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 12: high property taxes in Texas which should be fixed by 624 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 12: the legislature. And this is something we're now addressing through 625 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 12: these types of statutes to try to prevent unnecessary spending 626 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 12: without the voters understanding how their dollars are being spent. 627 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 5: Ready aansparency. What a great idea. 628 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: I love it. 629 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 3: You have done so much innovative stuff in Texas as 630 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 3: Attorney General, and looks like your Senate. 631 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: Races is going quite well. People recognize that in the 632 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 2: lone star state. 633 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 12: Look, Texans, they should get better results than they've gotten 634 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 12: over the last twenty four years with John cornon Senate. 635 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 12: And I just looked at it and thought, it's time 636 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 12: for change. He's had his chance, he hasn't performed, and 637 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 12: I think Texans deserve better and the nation deserves better 638 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 12: because Texas needs to have leadership and right now we. 639 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 11: Just haven't had it well. 640 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: And you were talking about John Cornyn's accomplishments the last 641 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 3: two years for us at the top of our show, 642 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 3: and we're talking about news of the day so often 643 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 3: we mentioned Texas Attorney General can pact it because of 644 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: something you were doing in Texas so well. 645 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 12: And on the other hand of the bad things, like 646 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 12: you know, he sided with Joe Biden with a second 647 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 12: amendal restrictions, He fought President Trump on the border while 648 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 12: and was now trying to claim it. He voted for 649 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 12: amnesty like fifteen different times, and he certainly was not 650 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 12: a proponent of President Trump being president either in twenty 651 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 12: sixteen or in twenty twenty four, and yet he's running 652 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 12: as if all of that were false. 653 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 3: Revised history, Texas Attorney General compacts, and thanks so much 654 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 3: for being with us.

But in the meantime, Congress 686 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: is about to do something it hasn't done since the 687 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: Nixon administration environmental permitting perform.

Thank y'all. 696 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: This is I think one of the more transformational pieces 697 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: of legislation that could get through the Congress this year. 698 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: We had the big beautiful bill, but permitting reform, these regulations, 699 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: he's zoning all these things. They've slowed down trillions of 700 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: dollars of projects over the last few decades. How important 701 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: is it And do you think you'll get some bipartisan support? 702 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, John's a great question. And permitting is 703 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 13: one of the biggest problems that we've had out there. 704 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 13: Every time I talked to constituents or I talked to stakeholders, whatever, 705 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 13: the industry is permitting, permitting, permitting, and how slow and 706 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 13: how Cumberson has gotten over the decades that we've just 707 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 13: let the federal agencies just get out of control with 708 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 13: their overreach. And the only thing we're doing with the 709 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 13: Permit Act is we are telling the federal government that 710 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 13: you are going to be more efficient, more productive, and 711 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 13: we're going to make life more affordable for the American 712 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 13: people out. 713 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 3: There, Hairessman, I've looked into this. In over thirty percent 714 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 3: of the time on construction sites, whether it's business, whether 715 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 3: it's residential, is spent just waiting for permits to clear, 716 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 3: waiting to get the green light from the government, whether 717 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 3: it's state or local, to pass through on a job. 718 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 3: This is going to affect Democrats and Republicans, So I 719 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 3: would like to think that this might be something that 720 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 3: could draw some bipartisan support. 721 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, Amanda, exactly right, and I think we 722 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 13: all hear it whether you're Democrat or Republican. When I 723 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 13: taught to folks, you take the road construction for instance, 724 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 13: you were talking about your construction companies out there are 725 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 13: padding their bids by thirty percent because they know, on 726 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 13: average that are road construction from the time that they 727 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 13: say they want to do the project to the time 728 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 13: you put the first automobile on that road is ten years. 729 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 8: In the first seven seven and a half years are just. 730 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 13: Getting permits and fighting all of these frivolous lawsuits that 731 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 13: are going on out there. So all we're doing is 732 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 13: speeding this thing up. And when you do that, naturally, 733 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 13: it's going to make things more affordable. And that's just 734 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 13: on road construction. You know, you could take the energy 735 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 13: sector as well, because we have so many people that 736 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 13: these power companies want to build natural gas electric generating 737 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 13: facilities now, and it takes over ten years just to 738 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 13: get a pipeline permit to lay the natural gas pipeline. 739 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 13: So many things are just way out of control, and 740 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 13: like I said, all we're doing is just speeding up 741 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 13: the process. 742 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 8: We're not doing anything other than that. 743 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, a remarkable opportunity though, something that could have been 744 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: done for a long time. There is a potential, huge 745 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: pent up economic boom that this permitting reform, particularly when 746 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 1: combined with things that were in the big beautiful build, 747 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: It seems like twenty twenty six that maybe shaping up 748 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: to have a real run of economic success in America. 749 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: Tell us what you think about what this and other 750 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: new pieces of legislation you passed might do for the 751 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: economy in twenty six. 752 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 8: Yeah, No, you're exactly right. 753 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 13: You combine this because everybody knows that you can't just 754 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 13: put one piece of the puzzle back on the board 755 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 13: and then just say, okay, we call it a day. 756 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 13: Because there's been so much influx from so many different 757 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 13: agencies over the years, especially due to the fact that 758 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 13: we've only been passing these crs and these continuous resolutions, 759 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 13: and we haven't been holding people accountable from the federal 760 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 13: agency standpoint. 761 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 8: And so now that. 762 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 13: We've got the big beautiful bill, we've got energy independence 763 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 13: set up, we've got the tax structure set up right, 764 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 13: We've got American people wanting to bring their jobs and 765 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 13: bring their businesses back to the shores of this country. 766 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 13: We've got to be able to make sure that we 767 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 13: can permit that we can get these jobs, these businesses 768 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 13: up and running in short order. This is just one 769 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 13: of the pieces of the puzzle. It's going to be 770 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 13: able to allow us to do that, and it is 771 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 13: I tell people every day, John, this is the most 772 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 13: incredible time to be a member of Congress right now, 773 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 13: especially if you are a small business person and you 774 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 13: want to see this country get back to produce and 775 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 13: producing not just goods and services, but jobs for the 776 00:36:59,000 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 13: American people. 777 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 4: So important, Sir. 778 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 3: I suppose everyone except for the Boomer generation and the 779 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 3: remnant of the Greatest Generation, everyone else is experiencing practically 780 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 3: the housing shortage and the housing crisis. When it comes 781 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 3: to affordability. This is going to reign supreme on voters' 782 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 3: minds next year. So removing these roadblocks in the way. 783 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 3: That's also going to bring down the cost of housing 784 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 3: how much? 785 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, sure it is, Aman And you talk just 786 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 13: on the housing with the water. There's so many permits 787 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 13: that you have to get to buy a house. And 788 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 13: the people that are out there building sub divisions, most 789 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 13: of the time they don't know whether they fall under 790 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 13: federal waters, state waters, or no waters. So they're just 791 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 13: out there buying permits and passing that onto the end consumer, 792 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 13: which is the person trying. 793 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 8: To buy that house. 794 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 13: And these young people today, you know, the next generation 795 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 13: coming up. One of the main reasons I came up 796 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 13: here to DC was to make sure that they have 797 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 13: the opportunities I had. This is going to help give 798 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 13: them the opportunity just by making these houses more affordable 799 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 13: from a permitting standpoint, and sometimes that's ten to fifteen 800 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 13: percent of a house total costs just on permits. 801 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: Sir, you have recently launched they bid for the United 802 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: States Senate. You're up a good margin, more than ten 803 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: points right now. Tell us what's on Georgia voters' minds. 804 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: Heading into the midterm elections. 805 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 13: The same thing that has always been affordability. They want 806 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 13: to make sure that they have the ability to afford gas, food, clothing, 807 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 13: shelter for their families and hopefully put away a little 808 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 13: money and sock it away so that they can go 809 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 13: on vacation. And the thing is, you know, back in 810 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 13: the first Trump administration, the people I know that I 811 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 13: surround myself with, they knew what it was like, they 812 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 13: knew what it was like to win, and they have been 813 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 13: looking forward to getting that back. And with what we 814 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 13: set up with that big beautiful bill of the Working 815 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 13: Families Tax Cut Plan as we'd like to call it, now, 816 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 13: you're going to see more cash out there private sector 817 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 13: and that's going to keep rotating over and over and 818 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 13: over again. That's where your economy. This economy is about 819 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 13: to take off. And like I said, it is an 820 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 13: exciting time to be up here. And that's what Georgia 821 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 13: voters want. They want someone that reflects Georgia values in 822 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 13: this US Senate race, and we know that we have that. 823 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 13: I think that's why we've been number one in the polls. 824 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 13: That's why we've been number one in raising, fundraising and 825 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 13: in grassroots supports and getting the amount of elected officials 826 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 13: behind us in this US Senate bid. 827 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of momentum, Congressman, something else. You have 828 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 3: a lot of knowledge and look ninety nine times out 829 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,760 Speaker 3: of one hundred, I am going to say less government 830 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 3: is better. However, when it comes to permitting, there is 831 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 3: one area, and I know you've got expertise in this 832 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 3: commercial driver's licenses where permitting should be stronger. We're seeing 833 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 3: these catastrophes out of California. They're you know, people who 834 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 3: should not have CDLs. We're doing dangerous things on the freeways. 835 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 3: How do we reform that in states? Because these are 836 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 3: guys who drive across the country, so it doesn't just 837 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 3: affect people in California. 838 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 13: Oh amen, Amen, here's the thing, and this is my question. 839 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 13: What I do not understand is the fact that you 840 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 13: have to take three to six weeks of just classroom 841 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 13: study right now. So if you can't speak or read English, 842 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 13: how did you pass that? How did you pass the 843 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 13: pre trip inspection? How did you pass the road trip 844 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 13: with someone sitting beside you grading you if you cannot 845 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 13: read or speak English. In other words, there's something wrong 846 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 13: with this already, and it has to do with the 847 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 13: states that were out there issuing these license. In my opinion, 848 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 13: that's where you need to look at the problem. My opinion, 849 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,439 Speaker 13: those states need to be held liable for what they've 850 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 13: done because they have put approximately over one hundred thousand 851 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 13: drivers out there on the road, and a lot of 852 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 13: these drivers are just out there getting trucks and they're 853 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 13: running their own business and they don't know how to 854 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 13: run a truck and company, and they're running the rates 855 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:53,720 Speaker 13: in the ground. 856 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 8: They're running our accident rates up. 857 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 13: And the people that actually issued these license they're the 858 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 13: ones that we need to be looking to to hold accountable. 859 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 5: Man sir. 860 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: The NDA is a major accomplishment for the House. It 861 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: delivers on the pay troops raise, It delivers on the 862 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: Golden Dome. It delivers on a long delayed counter drone 863 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: technology for our troops. This seems to be pretty transformation. 864 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 1: I'll talk a little bit about what the Pentagon will 865 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: get out of this. 866 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 13: Yeah, no, sure, Johnny, exactly right on all those fronts, 867 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 13: our military people are going to get to pay raises 868 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 13: they need. We're going to address the drones out there. 869 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 13: We are going to make sure that the world knows 870 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 13: that we are the number one superpower.

You are 971 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: using this to also inspire the next generation children, to 972 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: teach them about the cost of freedom, to give it 973 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of a civics lesson that maybe they 974 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: didn't always get in school. Talk a little bit about 975 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,720 Speaker 1: how young people get integrated into this and the legacy 976 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: they learn, particularly with us about the seller two hundred 977 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 1: and fiftieth birthday here in America. 978 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, it really is true. It's important to remember, 979 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 7: it's important to honor, but the object is to teach 980 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 7: a great man. Roger Donald, first medalvan and recipient for 981 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 7: the Vietnam War. I asked him before he died, what 982 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 7: the most important thing was that our organization could do 983 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 7: and without beating and I he said, teach our kids 984 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 7: to love our country. And we're so fortunate to be 985 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 7: able to do that by sharing the stories of seconds 986 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 7: to serve. And I'll tell you one of the most 987 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 7: poignant things you can see is a ghost mom talking 988 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,919 Speaker 7: about our son or daughter that they buried. But they're 989 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,839 Speaker 7: the most patriotic people yet. And to help kids try 990 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 7: to understand that that this country and one of stands 991 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 7: far is the worth fighting forlaw and in some cases 992 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 7: dying flaw. And that's been happening ever since the first 993 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 7: show is growing out during the revolution. So we have 994 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 7: an incredible curriculum online we just across America dotterg and 995 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 7: it's also available on teacher page teacher Free, and we 996 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 7: just passed the milestone that is that curriculum based on 997 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 7: the characteristics of the United States Military.

So it's very 1000 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 7: much about teaching kids that freedom isn't free, but it 1001 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,680 Speaker 7: also comes with responsibility, and we need to do a 1002 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,760 Speaker 7: better job. We teach kids a lot about their rights, 1003 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 7: but they need to know that wo that comes responsibility. 1004 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:21,959 Speaker 2: I'm Karen. 1005 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 3: There are so many wonderful organizations out there that serve 1006 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 3: our arm services community, but Reason across America is very unique. 1007 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 2: Tell us how and why it was founded. 1008 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 7: Well, actually accident. My husband, we've been in the restuff business, 1009 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,840 Speaker 7: production business, and I met him back in the early 1010 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 7: seventies and in nineteen ninety two he had a surplus 1011 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 7: of breaths. He was called being at Allenson National Cemetery 1012 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 7: as a twelve year old boy, and he wanted our 1013 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 7: children to experience that. So we called around, got permission 1014 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 7: to go to Allington. Took five thousandrees. A friend had 1015 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 7: a truck and they went down. Took all day where 1016 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 7: a handful of volunteers to place them, and it was 1017 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 7: in factful they couldn't help us say the names. And 1018 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 7: the kids came home and sat in research and names. 1019 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 7: And we see that all the time. We see now 1020 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 7: families will come into Allington and these other cemeteries and 1021 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 7: kids who play the reef and we encourage them write 1022 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 7: down the name and go do a little research. Because 1023 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 7: we've talked a lot about it in the last couple 1024 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 7: of days. These are people, These are people that had 1025 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 7: dreams and aspirations of their own that set them aside 1026 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 7: to protect us, and many of them have died as 1027 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 7: young people. They've sacrificed life. It's not you know, they 1028 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,320 Speaker 7: had life before and the ghosts that mothers talk about 1029 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 7: the dash, they talked about the day they were born 1030 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,919 Speaker 7: and the day they were dyed, but not to lose 1031 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 7: the track of the dash in the middle, because that 1032 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 7: was the life that they sacrificed. So I can I 1033 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,879 Speaker 7: can attest to how powerful it is because this year 1034 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 7: I have three of my grandsons with me, and one 1035 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,440 Speaker 7: in seven and the other two or twelve and thirteen. 1036 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 7: They've been writing down each day what they've learned, and 1037 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 7: it's credit incredible. 1038 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: Two thousand and five, a viral photo put this movement 1039 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: on stair right, So it's just real cookie about that. 1040 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 5: We got about a minute left. 1041 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 7: Yeah it did. A photograph is taken as a reason 1042 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 7: of snow and it went viral.

I've filled up for gas 1070 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: at two fifty nine the other day. A gallon eggs 1071 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: or down beef is starting to come down. He just 1072 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: sees to tell the American people how much he's done 1073 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,240 Speaker 1: and then also describe how he gets the path. 1074 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 5: To the next thing. 1075 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: And that I think particularly involves regulatory reform for the 1076 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,480 Speaker 1: zoning regulations that make houses or more expensive in blue cities. 1077 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 1: I think that'll be a big part of his speech 1078 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 1: next week when he speaks from the Old Office. 1079 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 2: I think so too. 1080 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 3: And you know, these are things that affect every American. 1081 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 3: Every American has to buy groceries. Obviously unless you're a child, 1082 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,879 Speaker 3: but every American has to buy groceries. At some point, 1083 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 3: you're going to be looking at housing prices, and even 1084 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 3: if you're not currently in the market for our house, 1085 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 3: you're still trying to look towards the future so that 1086 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 3: you can have a piece of that American dream. So 1087 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 3: I think President Trump is absolutely right to be out 1088 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 3: there a year ahead of time getting that affordability message 1089 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 3: out there. And as we were talking about with Congress 1090 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 3: and Collins, these deregulation measures by Republicans. That is what 1091 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 3: could quite possibly save their majority. That and repealing or 1092 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 3: patchworking or whatever you want to call it with Obamacare. 1093 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see what happens in the Senate with. 1094 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 1: Their I wouldn't be surprised if the President for the 1095 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 1: first time opens up competition so that state insurers who 1096 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: can't compete state to state can outcome in and create competition. 1097 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 5: That could bring down the market. 1098 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: The health he said it in the gaggle with Brian, 1099 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 1: the health savings accounts and giving the money to people 1100 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,399 Speaker 1: that then decide how to do it in the return 1101 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: of catastrophic health insurance so that you only have to 1102 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: cover big events, I think that could be a bigger 1103 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: play for American public. 1104 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:10,879 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1105 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 3: Congressman Eric Burlison, who is in the House Oversight Committee, 1106 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 3: but he's got some great ideas when it comes to 1107 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 3: what he calls MAHA accounts, and they serve as health 1108 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 3: savings accounts, and they can be filled by a person's 1109 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 3: tax free. It can be filled by any type of 1110 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 3: social program that you participate in. 1111 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:27,720 Speaker 2: It can be filled by your. 1112 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 3: Employer and you put in tax free and you take 1113 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 3: out tax free. And I think that that could benefit 1114 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 3: a lot of Americans out there, some great ideas on. 1115 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 2: The Republican side. 1116 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 3: They just have to get it across the finish line, 1117 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 3: or at least get it out for We're. 1118 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 1: Going to have the courage, I think, to actually do it, 1119 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: starting with the vote in the Senate next week. 1120 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,919 Speaker 3: I think that's going to be really interesting to watch. 1121 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 3: All Right, everybody, so keep an eye out. President Trump 1122 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,640 Speaker 3: is there on the ground in Mount Pocono and he's 1123 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,240 Speaker 3: going to be taking the stage soon to talk to voters. 1124 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,320 Speaker 3: Grant Sinchfield, Well, he is going to take you straight 1125 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 3: into the next segment because we're not going to take 1126 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,239 Speaker 3: a break, letting you have a great night. 1127 00:53:58,360 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 2: Seemark
