1 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: Hello America, Happy Monday. Welcome to Just the News, No Noise. 2 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to this post Christmas, pre New Year's episode of 3 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: Just the News, No Noise. It always kind of feels 4 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: like this period between Christmas and New Year's it's like 5 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: it's definitely no man's land for the diet. Everybody is 6 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: just kind of picking on Christmas food, which if I 7 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: look a little puffy, that's why I've been doing a 8 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: whole lot of picking. But alas, we have a great 9 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: show queued up for you tonight. But before we get 10 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: into some of those interviews, you know, President Trump build 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: himself the first time around, especially with the Abraham Accords, 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: as the President of Peace and continuing on that mission 13 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: in his second term. He is staying on top of 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: the situation between Russia and between Israel and Iran and 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: a lot of these other boiling Trump is trying to 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: find solutions and resolutions for So. President Trump, as many 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: of you probably know, met with Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine 18 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: yesterday and he said that they are closer to a 19 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: peace deal than ever before. 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: To check this out, I really believe we're probably, mister President, 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: closer than by far closer than ever before with both parties. 22 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: We had sometimes when he was close and President Putin wasn't. 23 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: Then when that President Putin was close and he wasn't. 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: You saw that in the White House. But I think 25 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: they both want to see it happen. 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 3: All right. 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: And in this next clip I want to show you, 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: President Trump talks about the possibility that he could go 29 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: to visit Ukraine. Now, if you think back to President 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Trump meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, this is one 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: of those situations where when President Trump is involved, according 32 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: to the left, he's darned if you do, darned if 33 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: he does, and darned if he doesn't. Just like with 34 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: Putin coming to Alaska. Of course the left said, oh, 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: I can't believe he welcomed him on to US shore. 36 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: But if President Trump had gone to Russia, they would 37 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: have said, I can't believe he capitulated to Putin and 38 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: went to Russia. So this is one of those situations 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: where President Trump goes with his business instinct, that gut 40 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: instinct that he has, and so he talked about the 41 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: prospect of him possibly visiting Ukraine. 42 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: Here it is, you know, I have. 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: No problem with it, don't anticipate it would like to 44 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: get the deal done and not necessarily have to go. 45 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: I've offered to go and speak to their parliament, and 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: you know, if that would help. I don't know that 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: would help. I think it would probably help, but I 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: don't even know if that's welcome. Yeah, no, I know, 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: so I'm not sure that it would be really necessary. 50 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: But if it would help save twenty five thousand lives 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: a month or whatever it may be, I would certainly 52 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: be willing. 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: To do that. 54 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Not right, And as I tickled at the top of 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: the show, President Trump also keeping his eye on Iran 56 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: and Israel. And I will admit that for a lot 57 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: of folks who are foreign policy minds, who are national 58 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: security experts, they looked at this deal that President Trump 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: broker between Israel and hamas, this twenty point piece plan 60 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: that the UN sanctioned by the way, or that the 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: UN put their stamp. 62 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 5: Of approoval on. I suppose I should say in. 63 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: This context, but the first part of that peace plan 64 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: has gone relatively smoothly. Iran and Israel have and I 65 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: use the term relatively because they have relatively adhere to 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: that first point. Now, the second point is going to 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: be tricky because it requires Hamas to give up their 68 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: weapons and it requires Israel to remove their troops. So 69 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: this is going to be a really tricky part of 70 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: this peace plan. But presidents spoke yesterday regarding this as well. 71 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: Check it out. 72 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: And speaking of Iran, I hope they're not trying to 73 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: build up again, because if they are, we're going to 74 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that build up. 75 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: So I hope Iran is not trying to build up, 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: as I've been reading that they're building up weapons and 77 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: other things. And if they are, they're not using the 78 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: sites that we obliterated, but they're using possibly different sites. 79 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: We know exactly where they're going, what they're doing, and 80 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: I hope they're not doing it because we don't want 81 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: to waste the fuel on a B two. It's a 82 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 2: thirty seven hour trip both ways. I don't want to 83 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: waste a lot of fuel. 84 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: And that was today, By the way, my producer let 85 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: me know that I accidentally said yesterday. 86 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 5: I was thinking today. 87 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: I meant to say today, but apparently I didn't say today. 88 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: All right, everybody, and one more clip I want to 89 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: show for you, because President Trump always you know, there's 90 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: always a carrot and stick scenario here, and there are 91 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: two different sides of what the results could be. And 92 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: President Trump talked about what the stick side of things 93 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: could look like. 94 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: We talked about hamas, and we talked about disarmament, and 95 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: they're going to be given a very short period of 96 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 2: time to disarm and we'll see how that works out. 97 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of 98 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: that from our side. But if they don't disarms as 99 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: they agreed to do, they agreed to it, and then 100 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: they'll be hell to pay for them. And we don't 101 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: want that. We're not looking for that hell to pay. 102 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: And I do believe him, all right, everybody, So let's 103 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: start tonight with an interview that I did with Georgia 104 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Congressman Austin Scott. This is something that we did a 105 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: little bit before Christmas, but we talked about what the 106 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: priorities were going to be for twenty twenty six, and 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: one big topic is going to be healthcare. Of course, 108 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: how Republicans can fix it. 109 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 5: Take a listen. 110 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: We are here with Congressman Austin Scott. Congressman, it's so 111 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: great to see you. 112 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 5: In person. 113 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: Good to be here. 114 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 6: It's been a while since I've seen you in person. 115 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: Has indeed, so it's great to be here up on 116 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. And for our audience watching, we are here 117 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: at on Capitol Hill. This is one of the caucus rooms. 118 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: This is my favorite building. The Canon Building is, in 119 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: my opinion, the most beautiful of all the Congressional office buildings. 120 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 5: But this is an important event because. 121 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: You guys are talking to new media a lot of 122 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: folks like us, and it's important because you guys have dealt. 123 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 5: With traditional media for a very long time. 124 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 7: That's right, and without you guys, we would be having 125 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 7: a very very difficult time getting the truth out. And 126 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 7: so I appreciate you and everything that you do. It 127 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 7: is important that the American citizens know the truth. I 128 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 7: am a firm believer that our democracy will take care 129 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 7: of itself as long as the citizens know the truth. 130 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 7: A certain number of people are going to vote Democrats, 131 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 7: certain numbers are going to vote Republican. But as long 132 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 7: as everybody knows the truth, our democracy will be okay, 133 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 7: and therefore our country will be okay. 134 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 5: I want to ask you about Republican unity. 135 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: I do think that it certainly seems like, you know, 136 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: at this point, heading into the Christmas holiday and New 137 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Year's it seems like you guys are more aligned than 138 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: you have been in a long time on priorities. 139 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 5: Is that the reality it is? 140 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 7: And if you look at how slim the margin is 141 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 7: and you look at what we've actually been able to 142 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 7: get done, we're not getting a whole lot of credit 143 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 7: for the things that the Republican majority has done, the 144 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 7: thing that President Trump has done. 145 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 6: And so if you. 146 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 7: Look just back at the at the tax bill that 147 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 7: we got passed, I mean, every American citizen out there 148 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 7: would be getting a big tax increase starting about a 149 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 7: month from today, and so we stopped that. And uh, 150 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 7: you know, the Democrats have said a whole lot of 151 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 7: things about it, but the bottom line is, you know, 152 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 7: we we have cash flow issues in the American household 153 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 7: right now. It came from the inflation from the American 154 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 7: Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act. Those are, by 155 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 7: the way, the Democrat names for the piece of legislation, 156 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 7: just like they call the Affordable Care Act affordable. You know, 157 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 7: when the Democrats name something, the best thing about the 158 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 7: the ink on the paper is the name of it. 159 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 7: What's actually written it. It's what you need to be 160 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 7: afraid of. 161 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: Uh. 162 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 7: But but then you'd be getting a huge tax increase 163 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 7: starting in January, and so we stopped that. 164 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 4: Uh. 165 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 7: The government's opened, as you know, Senator Schumer did what 166 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 7: he does and creating the chaos over the last several months. 167 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 7: And so we're hopeful that we get a full year 168 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 7: budget done. If not, you'll end up with a full 169 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 7: year continuing resolution, which is not. 170 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 6: What we want. 171 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 7: They are not willing to vote with us on much 172 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 7: of anything right now. And so what you're going to 173 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 7: see us do as Republicans is we're going to continue 174 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 7: to put forward pieces of legislation that would actually help 175 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 7: people with their. 176 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: Health care costs. 177 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 6: And so let me say this to the American systems. 178 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 6: I have been covered in the private sector. 179 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 7: I have been covered by the state merit system when 180 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 7: I was a state legislator. In the public sector, I've 181 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 7: been covered by the federal Employee Health Benefit Plan, and 182 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 7: today I'm covered under Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act. 183 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 7: So I've had federal coverage, state coverage from the government, 184 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 7: and the majority of my life covered in. 185 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: The private sector. 186 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 7: This is the worst health insurance that I have ever 187 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 7: had in my life. I literally, when I go to 188 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 7: the pharmacists, do not use my health insurance card because 189 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 7: it's cheaper for me to pay cash than it is 190 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 7: to file for the copey on my insurance card. We 191 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 7: had a claim a couple of years ago. Now I 192 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 7: saved the receipt from it because I thought it was 193 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 7: so ridiculous but symbolic of what the Affordable CARECT does. 194 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 7: The bill was one hundred and eleven dollars for a 195 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 7: doctor's visit. My copay was sixty dollars. The insurance company 196 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 7: paid eight dollars and they wrote the doctor down the 197 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 7: other forty plus dollars of the bill, and so I 198 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 7: pay sixty, the insurance company pays eight, the doctor has 199 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 7: to take forty something dollars in a discount. 200 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 6: I mean, that's not insurance. And so we're getting the 201 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 6: rate increases to right now. 202 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 7: The way to fix this is to put competition back 203 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 7: into the system and so get rid of the pharmacy 204 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 7: benefit rent managers, get rid of all of these middle 205 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 7: people that have driven up the cost of health care. 206 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 7: And we have to differentiate between health care and health insurance, 207 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 7: and so we have to we have to reduce the 208 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 7: cost of health care, and then we have to get 209 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 7: more competition back into the insurance industry. And if you 210 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 7: don't think that matters, look at what has happened to 211 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 7: the stock price of the major health insurance companies since 212 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 7: the Affordable Care Act pasted. The only people that legislation 213 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 7: helped were the people that own stock in the companies. 214 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: Well, what do you do about people like Senator Raphael Warnock, 215 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: who gets so much money from the medical sector, from 216 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies. 217 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 5: I mean, how do you disincentivize that? 218 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I will tell you. 219 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 7: I think transparency is the key to that. And then 220 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 7: hold and then holding people accountable. I've got better things 221 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 7: to do than to look at people's financial disclosures. 222 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 6: So I'll leave that to you to do that. 223 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 7: But but ultimately, the accountability, you know, comes at the 224 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 7: ballot box, and we as Republicans, we have to be uh, 225 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 7: very very clear about our solutions to the challenges that 226 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 7: the American citizens face does not come in the form 227 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 7: of control or more federal legislation. It comes in the 228 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 7: form of competition and choice for the American consumer. 229 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: Is there a mechanism built in because you sound like 230 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: you have so many great solutions to a lot of 231 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: the problems that Obamacare presents. Cross state competition has got 232 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: to become a thing because right now it's a market 233 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: within your own state. 234 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 7: So so cross state competition can can happen. I will 235 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 7: I will tell you right. 236 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 6: Now we have so few insurance carriers. 237 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 8: I think. 238 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 7: I think the thing we need to make clear is 239 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,479 Speaker 7: that an individual state has the right to license individual 240 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,359 Speaker 7: health insurance products to be sold. 241 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 6: In that individual state. 242 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 7: And then if they want to have some type of 243 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 7: almost like a joint service agreement between I'm from the 244 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 7: state of Georgia, so if they want to have a 245 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 7: joint agreement between Alabama, Georgia, Florida, makes plenty of sense 246 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 7: to me. But we we have to we have to 247 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 7: recognize that we have to get smaller companies into the 248 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 7: business to put pressure on the big companies. And so 249 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 7: I'm interested in making sure that someone can move into 250 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 7: a market in Georgia and not have to be so 251 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 7: large that they can cover the whole United States of America. 252 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 7: So I represent thirty counties, A lot of them are 253 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 7: which are rural. In many cases, the people in my 254 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 7: counties only have one choice by the way. Another problem 255 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 7: with this the current piece of legislation is that if 256 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 7: you buy your plan in January and you don't like 257 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 7: your plan in February, you're stuck with it for the 258 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 7: rest of the year. And so so why why shouldn't 259 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 7: can the consumer be able to change their coverage. 260 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 6: Let's if you don't want to do it in any 261 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 6: given time, let's give. 262 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 7: Them the opportunity to change at three, three times or 263 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 7: four times a year, once a quarter, you could change 264 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 7: uh and as long as you have continual coverage and 265 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 7: you have no lapse and benefits. We did this in 266 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 7: what was called no loss, no gain in years going past. 267 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 6: Then you know, no preachias and conditions, clauses, you know, 268 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 6: and we can do better. We can do better. It 269 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 6: will require Democrat votes to do better, prior. 270 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 7: To us getting a larger number of Senators and a 271 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 7: larger member of the House representatives. I don't think the 272 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 7: Dems are going to vote with us because they think 273 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 7: they think federal control is better for the American citizens. Obviously, 274 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 7: in anything that we did that fixed the system, it 275 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 7: would not be more federal control. 276 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: Sir, you're one of those folks up on Capitol Hill, 277 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: you're always ruminating over legislation to propose or to co 278 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: sponsor to be a part of. When you look at 279 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: next year's priorities for you, what are you wanting to 280 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: put out there. 281 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, so look, as someone who's owned the Armed Services 282 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 7: Committee and the Intelligence Committee, I'm very concerned about the 283 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 7: critical minerals. I do believe that we need to have 284 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 7: a plan for critical minerals that will include the various 285 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 7: countries in the Western hemisphere where we can get them, 286 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 7: and I think we have to include Africa in that. 287 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 7: We have to have the critical minerals, we have to 288 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 7: process them. If you just look at a map, geographically, 289 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 7: it's a whole lot easier for us to get those minerals, 290 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 7: process them, and transit the Atlantic Ocean than all the 291 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,479 Speaker 7: way around the world. And so I'm looking towards legislation 292 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 7: that would help with that. Obviously, agriculture is a big 293 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 7: part of what I do as well, and so want 294 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 7: to do a lot of things to help the American 295 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 7: farmer with regard to. 296 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 6: Their choice as well. 297 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 7: They have very little choice in fertilizer and chemicals and 298 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 7: other things. And we do need to get the tariffs 299 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 7: off of all of the inputs that are used in 300 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 7: in agriculture production. 301 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: Congressman, you are so beloved by the people of Georgia. 302 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: We love having you come on and talk about all 303 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: the importance if you're doing absolutely all right, everybody and 304 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: stay with us, because on the other side of this break, 305 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: we are going to have a Congressman Eric Meurlinson to 306 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: say on this topic of healthcare, it's really important. 307 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: It's one of the few. 308 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: Wins that Republicans can get next year, a tangible win 309 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: that can help propel them into the midterms.

So here 347 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: is my interview with Congressman Eric Burlson. 348 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: I actually just. 349 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 10: Had you on my podcast last week, and you know, 350 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 10: it's funny because a lot of the ideas that you 351 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 10: brought forth on my podcast, I've been discussing with other 352 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 10: members of Congress here because you have such such a wide. 353 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: Dearth of solutions for Obamacare. Talk to us about these 354 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: health savings accounts, these MAGA savings Health savings. 355 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 11: Account Yes, so you know this town loves to just 356 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 11: tinker around the edges, right, and not really do anything inspiring. 357 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 11: I think the American people, they demand and they need 358 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 11: something that's radically going to improve their lives. And that's 359 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 11: what I envision is called the MAHA accounts. Okay, and 360 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 11: imagine instead of buying insurance through your employer, and your 361 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 11: employer picking that you're going to be a Blue Cross 362 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 11: customer and what network and what hospital system that you're in, 363 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 11: you instead your employer sends money monthly to your new 364 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 11: MAHA account. 365 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 8: You put in your money pre tax tax free, and then. 366 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 11: You go pick whatever insurance you want to purchase, whether 367 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 11: it's a state sponsored product I mean, or a if 368 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 11: you want to buy you know, God forbid ACA. If 369 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 11: you really like Obamacare, God bless you, you can buy 370 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 11: that crappy product. If you like your crappy plan, you 371 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 11: can keep it. But we're providing people a choice and 372 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 11: a life preserver to get off the sinking ship that 373 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 11: is Obamacare. And what you'll suddenly see again is you'll 374 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 11: see insurance companies start competing for people, so you'll like 375 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 11: like Progressive and Liberty mutual and I mean people will 376 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 11: American Family you know, you might the same American Family 377 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 11: agent you purchase auto insurance from. We could sell you 378 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 11: a health insurance policy, right, and if you don't like 379 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 11: that policy, you can go to the one down the street, 380 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 11: right pick a different policy. 381 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 8: But the end of the day, the choice is back. 382 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 11: In the hands of the person who's consuming the healthcare. 383 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 11: And whatever money that you don't spend on your health 384 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 11: insurance premium, So if you want to save some money, 385 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 11: then that money would grow to like a health savings 386 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 11: account tax free as well. 387 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 8: And then any money Also that's. 388 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 11: That is in that account you can use to purchase 389 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 11: your to pay your copays, pay deductibles. If you want 390 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 11: to do a direct primary care plan, you could do that. 391 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 11: You know, the options are endless. And then here's where 392 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 11: the kicker is. And because we want people to be healthy, 393 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 11: being healthy, you know, having health insurance does not necessarily 394 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 11: equate to being healthy. And so in this MAHA account, 395 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 11: we're allowing people to purchase each month protein, produce, vitamin supplements, 396 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 11: and maybe even a gym membership from to stay healthy. 397 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 5: It's such a great idea. 398 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: And I know you talked about how it can You 399 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: know this, this Maha account can be filled by your employer, 400 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: It can be filled by you. It can also if 401 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, it can be filled if you're receiving 402 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: government assistants or anything like that. 403 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 8: That can also, that's right. 404 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 11: And you know if you're receiving government assistants or let's 405 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 11: not forget charity, right, Charitable care used to be the biggest, 406 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 11: an important part of health care. There there was a 407 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 11: time when hospitals were funded by the Catholic Church, they 408 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 11: were funded by Protestant churches. Right that it was an 409 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 11: important it is always going to be an important aspect. 410 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 11: Why not let if you have a coworker or someone 411 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 11: that you know that's in need that why not let 412 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 11: people donate to to that person's account, right and get 413 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 11: a tax deduction and help help somebody that maybe having 414 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 11: having a difficult time, you know, actually do the Christian 415 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 11: thing right and uh, and I think that that's what 416 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 11: we need to be doing. 417 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean what I have found is that 418 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: when you allow the private market, especially because we are 419 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: a nation of believers. I know Democrats don't want to 420 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: admit that, but we have so many Christians in this 421 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: country who you know that they tied, but then on 422 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: top of that they donate to food shelters and things 423 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: like that. 424 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 5: And what it seems like, you know, the American spirit 425 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 5: is all. 426 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: About grit and ingenuity, but it's also about it's about charity, 427 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: and it is about filling in and not only fill 428 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: in because the government was supposed to fill in where 429 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: private organizations fell short. But we've gotten to the place 430 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: now where it's the government who futs the bill for 431 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: everything and takes care of everything, and then private organizations, charities, whatever. 432 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, what's happened is government has stepped in and they've 433 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 11: crowded out private charity, and the result is that you 434 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 11: have a church that is no longer has the salt 435 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 11: that it needs, right, And so I think that we 436 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 11: really need to reverse that. 437 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 8: The other result is that it becomes. 438 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 11: A cold system, right, because now people, if my neighbor 439 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 11: is in need and I give personally and I recognize 440 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 11: that need, then that now there's there's that heart connection, right, 441 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 11: You're praying for them, you care about their lives. But 442 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 11: if my neighbor is now getting I'm being forced to 443 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 11: pay taxes to a government agency, and then I then 444 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 11: that money is flowing to Now I have that it's 445 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 11: no longer a love connection of caring. It's it's kind 446 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 11: of a resentment. It creates up an attitude of resentment. 447 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: There's something I wanted to ask you that I asked 448 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: you on my podcast, but I wanted to reiterate for 449 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: my audience when it comes to the failures of Obamacare, 450 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: because I remember when Obamacare first started to be a 451 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: part of the conversation and one of the things, as 452 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: they said, you know, you can keep your crappy plan 453 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: if you want to keep it, But they also said 454 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: that they were going to reinvent the doctor patient relationship. 455 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: They were going to reconnect the doctor and the patient, 456 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: and they were gonna, you know, it was going to 457 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: remove the burden of paperwork. 458 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 5: But that has not happened at all. 459 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 11: No, it has it at all, And and it's what 460 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 11: you're seeing is a breakaway where you have direct primary 461 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 11: care and people are basically, you know, they're paying their 462 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 11: health they're paying for a health insurance product through their employer, 463 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 11: and they're not able to utilize that care and they 464 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 11: don't really want that care. And then they're going out 465 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 11: on their own with after tax money and paying direct 466 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 11: primary care to get the actual health care that they want. 467 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 8: That's ridiculous and we need to correct that. 468 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: Do you think, you know, with this government shut down, 469 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people learned some really gross 470 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: things about the SNAP program. Do you think that that 471 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: will bring about more outraged by the American people in general? 472 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: Because I know, I know how you feel, I know 473 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: how Republicans feel about Obamacare, but Democrats have been slow 474 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: to the trough when it comes to admitting that Obamacare 475 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: is a disaster. But maybe SNAP kind of pulled back 476 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: the curtain on a lot of these government programs that 477 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: revealed just how. 478 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 5: Bad it is. 479 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean the fact that we don't we don't 480 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 11: don't qualify people anymore to be to receive government food 481 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 11: and assistance is absurd and it's not sustainable. And so 482 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 11: I really think that we did that within the One 483 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 11: Big Beautiful Bill, we did a very strategic and laser 484 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 11: focused policy changes to try to eliminate the waste frawden 485 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 11: abuse within SNAP, within medicaid, within TANAF and hopefully, you know, 486 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 11: we might be able to do I'm sure we can 487 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 11: do more, but at least we did for the first 488 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 11: time in generations some welfare reform. 489 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: Do you think that if Republicans are successful with the 490 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: MAHA accounts and this actually hits home, it gets past, 491 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: and the American people start feeling that is that is 492 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: that one of those things, like the One Big Beautiful Bill, 493 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: that's a feather in your cap so that you can 494 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: go to the voters in November and say, look what we. 495 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 11: Did, absolutely and look, this is not a time to 496 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 11: be safe. If we don't demonstrate that we're here to 497 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 11: save this country, then the American people are going to 498 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 11: fire us and like it's not about keeping your job. 499 00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 8: It's about doing the right thing. 500 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 11: I think that I think that when we do bold 501 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 11: things like the MAHA account, then the American people will 502 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 11: reward us and continue to elect us. 503 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: You know, you started this interview with using the word radical, 504 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: and I think that's exactly right. I think that the 505 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: American people want radical change. They want radical solutions, and 506 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: I love your solutions, and they do seem radical, but 507 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: I think that they just might were. Congressman Eric Williston, 508 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: thanks so much for being here. Absolutely all right, everybody, 509 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: and guess what John is going to be back in 510 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: the next block. But because we both sat down with 511 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: Forty Days for Life President Sean Carney right before Christmas 512 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: to discuss a special Nativity scene that they helped put 513 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: together that was shouted out by the Vatican. And we 514 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,239 Speaker 1: also talked about what twenty twenty six will mean for 515 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: the pro life movement. So that's coming up right after this. 516 00:25:48,640 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 4: Break, Welcome Back in America. 517 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 9: Twenty twenty five was a year of significant debate and 518 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 9: policy changes when it came to the pro life movement 519 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 9: to the abortion industry. Everything from reducing federal subsidies for 520 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 9: abortions to significant litigations in the States and at the 521 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 9: national level. I thought it'd be a great time to 522 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 9: bring in the CEO and president of Forty Days for Life, 523 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 9: our good friend Sean Carney, to help us understand it all. 524 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 4: Sean, great to have you back on the show. 525 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 3: Good to be here. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. 526 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 9: Merry Christmas, my friend, Happy New Year. I want to 527 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 9: start with something a little closer to my own personal faith. Obviously, 528 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 9: I'm a Catholic. The Vatican had a pretty remarkable anti 529 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 9: abortion Nativity scene over the Christmas holidays. 530 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 4: Tell us a. 531 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 9: Little bit about the message it sent and the reaction 532 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 9: to it. 533 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 12: I didn't know you were kethlic That's good to know. 534 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 12: So yeah, I'm Catholic as well. And we were honored 535 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 12: with this invitation that they wanted to have a Nativity 536 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 12: scene at the Vatican that honored the twenty five thousand 537 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 12: babies who have been saved through forty Days for Life. 538 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 12: And so the artist, who was a Costa Rican woman, 539 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 12: very talented. She used the straw of the nativity scene 540 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 12: to put ribbons in. Each ribbon says forty Days for 541 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 12: Life on it, and there are twenty five thousand ribbons, 542 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 12: each of which represents a baby boy or baby girl 543 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 12: saved through a forty Days for Life campaign, and so 544 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 12: it was absolutely beautiful. It was a tremendous honor. Pope 545 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 12: Leo had wonderful comments about the pro life display, this 546 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 12: sort of pro life themed Nativity scene, and it was 547 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 12: just very, very beautiful and a great honor for our 548 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 12: one million volunteers who have gone out and prayed at 549 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 12: a local forty Days for Life vigil. 550 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 5: Absolutely beautiful, Sean. 551 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: If we know anything, it's that the other side of 552 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: this argument fights very hard and sometimes even up against 553 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,479 Speaker 1: something that should be as universally beautiful as a Nativity display. 554 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 12: What's been the reaction, Yeah, Well, over the years, Pearenthood 555 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 12: has had an awkward relationship with Christmas. They ended up 556 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 12: firing Gloria Felt their CEO years ago because she did 557 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 12: a choice on Earth a Christmas card with the Holy 558 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 12: Family on it, and so they've all they've some locations 559 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 12: actually do abortions on Christmas Eve. I've witnessed that myself 560 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 12: here in Texas, and so it's always anger, I guess 561 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 12: from the other side. Of course, every Nativity scene is 562 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 12: pro life. Jesus came to us through the womb, which 563 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 12: is now statistically speaking, the most dangerous place America in 564 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 12: the world, and so it's a beautiful thing. 565 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 3: We have seen some absurd reactions, but overall. 566 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 12: Especially in a time in our country where we need 567 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 12: good news, this has been good news. This has been 568 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 12: very heartwarming during the time of year where we need 569 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 12: our hearts warmed. 570 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, so very important, Sean. I want to talk about 571 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 9: twenty twenty five year. A lot of big developments in 572 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 9: the abortion and pro life debate and policies. 573 00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 4: Planned Parent had. 574 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 9: Had a pretty rough here when it came to funding 575 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 9: and state laws. Tell us a little bit about the 576 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 9: gains made by the pro life movement in the last 577 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 9: twelve months. 578 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 12: It was the best year in the history of the 579 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 12: pro life movement by far. What you saw is the 580 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 12: reality that the pro life movement in the grassroots, particularly 581 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 12: was ready for the overturning of Roe v. Wade and 582 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 12: plant Parenthood, who was very top heavy in New York 583 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 12: and DC, was not ready. They're not only out of 584 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 12: touch with many of the women that they market to 585 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 12: by promoting in fanticide and abortions up to forty weeks, 586 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 12: they're out of touch with their own employees. 587 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 3: They had a lot of legal issues with employees. 588 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 12: They had employees trying to unionize, they had employees protesting 589 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 12: their own abortion facilities, sometimes alongside Forty Days for Life participants. 590 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 12: That was definitely comical this year. And then you saw 591 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 12: the historic defunding of Plant Parenthood. But what you also 592 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 12: saw is in blue states where they still get funding, 593 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 12: record funding. In places like California, they were still closing locations. 594 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 12: They closed over six locations this year, many of them 595 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 12: were in blue states where they didn't lose their funding. 596 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 12: They are hurting on a cash flow standard and it's 597 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 12: probably because they have, in my view, a very ineffective 598 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 12: and incompetent CEO, and they didn't always have that with 599 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 12: the late Cecil Richards, she was a very effective. Unfortunately 600 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 12: CEO for Planned Parenthood Alexis mcgil Johnson is not, and 601 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 12: that was highlighted this year because everything that could possibly 602 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 12: go wrong went wrong for them. 603 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: Sean looking forward to next year, I mean, we know 604 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: what's happening on the level of Roe v. Wade being 605 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: stripped away and that being a decision that's left up 606 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: to the states. But what about culturally, Are you finding 607 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: that hearts and minds are changing culturally? 608 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 3: Yes, and in places you really wouldn't expect. 609 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 12: I think that after Kamala ran on abortion first, you 610 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 12: know president to ever run on abortion, they had abortions 611 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 12: at the DNC for her to try to market abortion 612 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 12: is this thing to be celebrated and something that's good, 613 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 12: and to lose so handedly to Trump. You really saw 614 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 12: many on the left basically trade abortion and trands for 615 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 12: immigration as their new sort of moral crusade. And we 616 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 12: saw the left get fairly silent on substantive conversations and. 617 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 3: Dialogue regarding abortion. 618 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 12: It's all we heard about in twenty twenty two through 619 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 12: twenty twenty four, and that really evaporated for the most 620 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 12: part in twenty twenty five because their abortion stance is 621 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 12: that we're not going to give medical care to babies 622 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 12: who survive an abortion, and that we want abortion with 623 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 12: no regulations. Through all forty weeks, that was a dismal failure. 624 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 12: They're starting to get away from it. I think that's 625 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 12: why you see them aligning with the immigration issue more so, 626 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 12: and because they're losing on trans and they're certainly losing 627 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 12: on the abortion issue. And that's why we're going to 628 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 12: hit the ground running in twenty twenty six. We have 629 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 12: a lot going on. We'll have record numbers of forty 630 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 12: days for life campaigns. We're making progress on the abortion 631 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 12: pill front as well with litigation, and so I think 632 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 12: you're going to see the pro life movement continue to grow, 633 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 12: particularly as Generation Z gets more involved. There by far 634 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 12: the most pro life generation at their age than any 635 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 12: previous generation. 636 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, really amazing moment. 637 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 9: It's an amazing moment in time and culturally and historically. 638 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 9: What are the big issues for next year? What should 639 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 9: we be looking for in twenty six when it comes 640 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 9: to the pro life movement. If you have this much 641 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 9: momentum and you do from twenty twenty five, where does 642 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 9: this go next? 643 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 12: I think it's regulating the abortion pills at the state level. 644 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 12: Many states it doesn't get reported. A lot have effectively 645 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 12: done this. We'll be defending the state of Missouri against 646 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 12: a lawsuit for plain pearenthood in Missouri in January. We 647 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 12: will litigate that case to protect their wonderful pro life 648 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 12: laws and their ban. 649 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: Of abortion pills, so we will have that front. 650 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 12: Eighty percent of abortion pills are still distributed through brick 651 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 12: and mortar, so we will be there physically. The plame 652 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 12: parenthood locations and other locations that distribute are you forty 653 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 12: six to offer alternatives? And of course this is a 654 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 12: peaceful approach. So many women take us up on it, 655 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 12: and it's a beautiful thing. And so they don't have 656 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 12: that at the grassroots. They don't have the pregnancy resource 657 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 12: centers that outnumber abortion providers five to one. So the 658 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 12: momentum is in the grassroots part of the pro life movement. 659 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 12: And that's so important now that Roe v. Wade was 660 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 12: overturned and it went back to the States. 661 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, really remarkable, Sean Corney.

So what is the reality 703 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: and how can you ensure a healthy diet for yourself 704 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: and your children. Joining us to discuss this is the 705 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: director of product Development a Native Path, Elijah Magrain. 706 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 5: Elijah, thanks so much for being here. 707 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: I am my little southern heart is so happy hearing 708 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: that butter is good and Marjor, let's face it, it's 709 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 1: one hundred percent seed oil. So maybe we all should 710 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: have picked up on this fact sooner. 711 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 4: But here we are. 712 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 14: Yes, that's one hundred percent true. Yeah, So this is 713 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 14: this has been an interesting, interesting development just kind of 714 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 14: in the food landscape. You know, nutrition has always seems 715 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 14: to kind of go through these phases, right, So, I 716 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 14: mean the most classical one is eggs, right, Eggs were good, 717 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 14: then they're bad, then they were good, then they're bad, 718 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 14: and it kind of kind of goes back and forth. 719 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 14: Now it seems like the the latest thing is is butter. 720 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 14: So really the biggest thing is and as you mentioned, Margarine, right, 721 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 14: so margin was actually creative from seed oils originally, and 722 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 14: we found out It was supposed to be this kind 723 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 14: of you know, miracle when it was first first. 724 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 15: Invented in the in the nineteen fifties. 725 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 14: But when they found it that it contained hydrogenative fat 726 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 14: or entrance fat, which we now know is is very 727 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 14: very bad for you, way worse than saturated fat. So 728 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 14: it seems like now the tide is kind of shifting 729 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,479 Speaker 14: towards butter. And one of the main things is really 730 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 14: because it's all whole foods, it comes from, it comes 731 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 14: from animals. It's we've been you know, using it and 732 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 14: making it for hundreds of years. People haven't been using 733 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 14: and making you know, canola oil, you know, for hundreds 734 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 14: of years that was originally a byproduct from you know, 735 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 14: industrial manufacturing that we decided to put into our bodies. 736 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, something that starts with volume and involves hexsane in 737 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: the process probably. 738 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 15: Not great, exactly exactly, all right. 739 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 9: So you mentioned saturated fat, and I think that is 740 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 9: one of the learnings. Obviously we want to get it right. 741 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 9: Too much saturated fat still isn't good either, but a 742 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 9: good mixture, healthy, healthy, mount but not too much seems 743 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,479 Speaker 9: to be the growing thinking in America right now among 744 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 9: the medical folks talk a little bit about that nature 745 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 9: verse factory tension that we've been on over the last 746 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 9: few years. 747 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 15: Yeah. 748 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 14: Sure, so I think we've sacrificed a lot for convenience, right, 749 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 14: And that's and that's really what it comes down to. 750 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 14: We know that, you know, seed oils like canoya, canola 751 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 14: and soybean oil are very very inexpensive to produce. 752 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 15: There's a goot, there's there's a great profit margin for them. 753 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 14: However, they're not they're not they're not nature made, right, So, 754 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 14: and I think there's the shift now that's that's realizing 755 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 14: that you know, things like like butter and even other 756 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 14: fats like I mean, because we can put butter, but 757 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 14: other fats that that have been around for a very 758 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 14: long time, like olive oil. Right, So if you're you're 759 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 14: somebody that's you know, just may not prefer butter on everything. 760 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 14: There's there's other fats, uh, like for example, olive oil, 761 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 14: which is not industrial process meaning it's not treated with 762 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 14: chemicals and different solvents. That undergoes what's called being cold pressed, 763 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 14: meaning that it's just kind of squeezed and outcomes outcomes 764 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 14: the olive oil. And so there's this really this shift 765 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 14: going back to what we like to call ancestral wisdom, 766 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 14: and that's really just simply referring to things that our ancestors, 767 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 14: the things that have been time tested and approved, that 768 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 14: our bodies are are designed, and our and our biology 769 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 14: h is in sync with consuming it's not going to 770 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 14: make us sick. There's a lot of evidence right now 771 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 14: to suggest that seed oils well and specifically what's called 772 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 14: a mega sixes that are found in high concentration. 773 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 15: In seed oils, can make us sick. 774 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 14: They give us this what's called pro inflammatory state, meaning 775 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 14: that our body is just in this constant state of stress. 776 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 14: We don't see that same with butter And as you said, John, 777 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 14: it's important to have a balance, right. I mean, if 778 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 14: you eat too much of anything, you're not going to 779 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 14: feel great. 780 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: Elijah, Ancestral wisdom is so important for the medical community 781 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: to meld into their recommendations. It's also important for them 782 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,479 Speaker 1: to admit when they're wrong. 783 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 5: But Elijah, for. 784 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: So long we had this ridiculous food pyramid that they 785 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: doubled down year after year after year. Have we moved 786 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: into a space at least with this administration, with folks 787 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: like RFK at the helm of our health industry or 788 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: at the head of our health governmental agencies, that we're 789 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: moving into a space where we can admit that we 790 00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: were wrong and we can change things. 791 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 15: I hope so. 792 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 14: And that's the food pyramid is really was created by 793 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 14: a bunch of interest groups in the food industry, you know, 794 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 14: you know, thirty forty years ago, and the largest interest 795 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 14: groups at that time were cereal and grain processors. So 796 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 14: it's no surprise that they made at the base of 797 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 14: the food of the food GUD pyramid, and then you 798 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 14: see you know, fats and protein at the very very 799 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 14: very top. I think we're definitely shifting away from that, 800 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 14: and I think it's it's going to take a little 801 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 14: bit of time, but I think this administration and RFK 802 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 14: are very are very focused and are sending the right 803 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 14: message by trying to redefine the dietary landscape. 804 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, fresh meat, fresh festivals, regular dairy products, saturated fast, 805 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,879 Speaker 9: all common sense things that served our ancestors well before 806 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 9: we got into this processed food movement. When you look 807 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 9: ahead of logic real quickly, what are some of the 808 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 9: trend lines you think we'll continue into twenty twenty six 809 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 9: with the get the Make America Healthy Again movement. 810 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 15: Yeah, that's a great question. 811 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 14: So I think the real focus on just getting chemicals 812 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 14: out of our food. I think that's going to be 813 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 14: continue to be a focus, and that's a and that's 814 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 14: a tough, tough, I think, thing to do across the 815 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 14: whole entire food industry. Food industry is very large, but 816 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 14: I mean, as Urk has definitely said, is that not 817 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 14: the food industry kind of positions different foods by the 818 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 14: country based on the legislation, so we know, we know 819 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 14: that they can do it. You know, the additives and 820 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 14: the cereal, for example, in Canada are different in the 821 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 14: US and then are different in Europe. So it's just 822 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 14: a matter of you know, just kind of changing the 823 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 14: conversation and then passing the legislation that's forcing them not 824 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 14: to basically put put chemicals in the food. And I 825 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 14: think once we have that landscape, I mean that that 826 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 14: problem kind of solved. I think it will naturally just 827 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 14: kind of go back to what we talked about, focusing 828 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 14: less on refined processed food and more on whole food 829 00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 14: with you. 830 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 15: Know, things that we can recognize and pronounced. 831 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think all along it has been a lack 832 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: of will, not a lack of way, because, as you said, 833 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: other countries figured. 834 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:08,800 Speaker 3: Out how to do it. 835 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: Director of Product Development over at Native Path, Elijah Magraine, 836 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us and folks right now 837 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: get a very special bundle deal over at native Path. 838 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: It's a fraction of the retail price plus free shipping. 839 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: It's available at get nativepath dot com slash just news 840 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,760 Speaker 1: with over four million jars sold, thousands of five star reviews, 841 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: and a three hundred and sixty five day money back guarantee. 842 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: This is your moment to take control of aging before 843 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: symptoms get worse.

They're in Minnesota, 880 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 1: and I am seeing reports that this is happening in 881 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 1: cities all over the country. I am positive that it 882 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 1: is happening in places like Los Angeles. There are folks 883 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: who are sounding the alarm in places like Ohio and Boston. Listen. 884 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 5: I am not an expert in geography. 885 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: My husband laughs at me when I tell it, when 886 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,280 Speaker 1: I show my ignorance in geography. 887 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 5: But I happen to know that. 888 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,800 Speaker 1: Boston is not landlocked, and for a twenty mile radius 889 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 1: around Boston, a corner of which is water, four thousand 890 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: daycare clinics. So I have a feeling that the Department 891 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,879 Speaker 1: of Justice is going to have their hands full when 892 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 1: it comes to investigating fraud in daycares in food delivery services. 893 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: So that's going to be interesting to watch through the 894 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: rest of the year and heading into next year. But 895 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 1: I've got a few video clips that I wanted to 896 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: show you. Many of you are from with Rob Schneider, 897 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 1: a comedian and actor, very very funny, and he was 898 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: talking about the sense of humor that folks on the 899 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: left have, and I'll just let you take a look. 900 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:19,800 Speaker 17: When Hillary Clinton lost the election, and I tweeted, I 901 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:25,360 Speaker 17: haven't seen the Democrats. They're angry since we freed the slaves. 902 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 19: That was. 903 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 17: A something that went everywhere, and then yeah, they didn't 904 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,280 Speaker 17: like that. I remember my old boss at Saturday Night Lives, 905 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 17: Lauren Michaels, would say that the Democrats are more sensitive 906 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 17: and they don't have quite the sense of humor to 907 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 17: take the laugh at themselves as Republicans. 908 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: Well, I know one Democrat who needs to laugh at herself. 909 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: Her name is mar Gay. And for those of you 910 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 1: who don't fall the news enough to know the names 911 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: of these people, which I don't blame you one bit, 912 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: but it's my work. Margay as a staff writer over 913 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 1: at the New York Times, and if you remember a 914 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: few years ago, she became a bit of a laughing 915 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: stock because she was on a segment I believe it 916 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: was on CNN, could have been MSNBC, same same anyway, 917 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: they were talking about five hundred million dollars spent on 918 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 1: an election campaign. I think at the time they were 919 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: talking about Bloomberg, and they deduced that with five hundred 920 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: million dollars spent on a campaign that with three hundred 921 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: and twenty eight million people in the country, that meant 922 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: that instead of spending this money on his campaign, he 923 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: could have given one million dollars to every American and 924 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 1: had money left over. Now, if you do the math, 925 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: you know that that would be one dollar for every American, 926 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 1: not a million dollars for every American. But you know, 927 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: some of us journalists were not known for our mathematician skills. Anyway, 928 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 1: she was talking about all of this that has been 929 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: revealed in Minnesota, and she feels bad for the scammers 930 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: check this out. 931 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 19: Let's recall too that there's also other scandals in other states, 932 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 19: for example, the Mississippi welfare scandal, and this is not 933 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 19: unique to politics. Americans know that. 934 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,760 Speaker 3: But of course, the other. 935 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 19: Factor here is that because it looks like the Somali 936 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 19: population in Minnesota, the Smali immigrant population may have been 937 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 19: at some involved in some way, those people are being scapegoated, 938 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 19: and that community is being scapegoaded in a way that 939 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 19: certainly serves the far right. 940 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: So sad food kitchens that took in twelve million dollars 941 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,959 Speaker 1: of taxpayer money and didn't give out a single meal, 942 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 1: they're being scapegoated. Uh huh. Well, Nick Shirley, the journalist 943 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: who has exposed all of this, talked about why there 944 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: aren't more of us talking about this here? It is? 945 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 18: Are there local reporters like that in your area. 946 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 13: And why do you think they weren't doing the work 947 00:48:59,120 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 13: that you did. 948 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 4: I don't know. 949 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,760 Speaker 20: I like that they're scared of being called nowadays because 950 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 20: it's some aliums that are committing this product. People are 951 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 20: scared of be calling Islamophobic, racist, in which has nothing 952 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 20: to do with what's going on. 953 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 3: Because fraud is fraud. 954 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,439 Speaker 20: It doesn't matter if it's a black person, white person. 955 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 20: Agent verson Mexican fraud is fraud, and we work too 956 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 20: hard simply just to be paying taxes in enabling fraud 957 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 20: to be happening. 958 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 1: So you know, if you have a transaction over six 959 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: hundred dollars on Venmo, then IRS is going to be 960 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 1: keeping a very keen eye on you. But if you 961 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 1: scam the American people out of millions, and what it 962 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: seems like now, I think the last count I saw 963 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: was fourteen billion dollars worth of fraud, no big deal, 964 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,359 Speaker 1: No big deal, It's just some mollis who are being escaped.
