1
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Good evening, America. Welcome to the Thursday edition of Justin

2
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Use No Noise. I'm your host. John Solomon reported to you,

3
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: you know this always, from the Nation's capital, where day

4
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: two of the shutdown of the government has continued with

5
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: some significant savings for the American public. Billions of dollars

6
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: of Biden era green energy and transportation grants shut down

7
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: today by the Trump administration and many employees, thousands of them.

8
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: In fact, they are expecting to get furlough notices tomorrow,

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: terminating them, not putting them on leave because they're shutdown,

10
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: where they'll get their pay back when it reopens, but

11
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: literally ending their jobs. That's just a little bit of

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: what's going on. We got a little sense of what

13
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: the Senate's thinking today. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: that if the vote tomorrow fails, are can try one

15
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: more time. They will likely not be staying around during

16
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: the weekend to try to get more government funding votes.

17
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: In other words, the government will stay shut down as

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: we carry into a second leak. Mike Johnson has already

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: explained that he will not be reconvening the House until

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: next week either. So this is Democrat's last chance to

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: get aboard. That doesn't mean the Trump administration won't still

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: be working. And as we reported to you yesterday, they're

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: trying to make this shutdown work in the favor by

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: cutting of everyone's American spending. By cutting spending. The announced

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: today all different ways, and they'll be doing that. The

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: President also addressed a very important issue today in that

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: is what's going on with the military action against the

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: drug cartels that are trying to bring those poisons into

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: our country and kill our young people. We've seen several

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: boats blown out of the water by the US military.

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: President Trump today saying we're in an armed conflict with

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: the cartels. While that was going on, several members of

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Congress and the Senate we're behind closed doors at interviewing

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: the President of the Pentagon's Chief Council to understand the

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: rationale behind them. But a lot has been going on there. Meanwhile,

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: as we send here, the Democrats are trying to explain

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: just what they're doing and whether or why. Senate Minority

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Leader Chuck Schumer has changed his tune from just a

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: few months ago when it comes to shutdowns. Look at

40
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: this side.

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Here, Chuck Schumer did the right thing in the spring

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: and led the Senate to a claim CR. What we've

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: got here is the House has they have passed to

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: clean CR. The Republicans have the votes in the Senate,

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: and he will not allow his members to come across.

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: And what's changed since then is it's his.

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Poll numbers, you know.

48
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: So you know the President, Vice President, vance Speaker Johnson, leaders.

49
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 2: They're not negotiating with Chuck Schumer and King Jeffreys. They're

50
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: negotiating with a representative, Acasio Cortez.

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer was AOC. I think that's how we look

52
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: at it, Amanda. It's a really remarkable moment. You had

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: a great story this morning about Republicans winning the messaging

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: war early on in this you can see that they've

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: got a clear narrative and they can point to the proof.

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: And when Democrats were like, well, we're not paying forly

57
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: Gwilly as well, Yeah, you are different from any shutdown

58
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: I can remember in recent history.

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, when I was writing that, I was

60
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: thinking about how it was kind of like a legislative.

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: It's typically a legislative, he said, he said, she said

62
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: to the game, but this time around, it's all Republicans said,

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: because Republicans are winning the messaging war on this for sure.

64
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: But I have three things that I might want to

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: get to. First, a little update on President Trump's DC

66
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: crime crackdown after they've expanded that program to places like Memphis,

67
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: Tennessee in recent days and since then the federal takeover

68
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: here in DC. Since it began in August, ICE has

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: made twelve thousand arrests. That's coming from a New York

70
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: Times report, and the Times also recorded that ICE had

71
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: only made a five arrests in the Nation's capital for

72
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: the previous months of this year, so that means a

73
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: lot of criminals have been taken off of this city's streets.

74
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: And Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: statement that immigration officials in the Nation's capital had arrested

76
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: gang members, kidnappers, drug traffickers, and other violent thugs.

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: And that leads me to some more news dealing with

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: border security.

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: As John just told you, the President has told the

80
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: Department of War to ramp up quote armed conflict against

81
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 3: drug cartels. That according to a memo from the Trump administration,

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: who also went on to say that the United States

83
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: has now reached a.

84
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: Critical point where we must use force.

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: In self defense and defense of others against the ongoing

86
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: attacks by these designated terrorist organizations. So it doesn't look

87
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: like the president's policies on the drug cartels are going

88
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: to be easing anytime soon. But one more story, Americans

89
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: trust in the media has hit a fifty year low.

90
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: I can't say that's exactly shocking, but that headline comes

91
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: from a new Gallop survey that says only twenty eight

92
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: percent of respondents had some type of trust in the media,

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: with another thirty six percent saying they didn't have much trust,

94
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: and thirty four percent saying.

95
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: They had no trust at all.

96
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: So compare that to the nineteen seventies when seventy percent

97
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: of the public had a great deal or fair amount

98
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: of trust in the media. John, it's not too surprising,

99
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: but it's a pretty stern indictment for our industry.

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: I hate it.

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty remarkable, not a surprise. That's why RAV

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: and Justin News and other places keep going because people

103
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: look at that.

104
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: We're going to make a correction. Please, did I say

105
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: twelve thousand?

106
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: I think you've got twelve hundred right.

107
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 5: We've not read that.

108
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: I was thinking, Holy mackerel. That's more than ten city blocks. Yeah,

109
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: twelve hundred is still wonderful.

110
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think eighty the whole rest of the year.

111
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: So you can just see how fast. And these are

112
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: all legal aliens. That's why I says wrestling, it's an

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: amazing number. Right. Joining us now to kick off our chote,

114
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: Montana Congressman Troy Downing. He's been at the forefront of

115
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: so many of these big issues that playing themselves out

116
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: in Washington. Congressman, great to have you on the show today.

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 6: Well, thanks for having me.

118
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 7: I've just been listening to your comments there and there's

119
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 7: just so much to unpack here, but thank you for

120
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 7: having me on here.

121
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: There is news. The velocity of news in the Trump

122
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: administration is remarkable. I want to start with a shutdown

123
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: because I think when Democrats are done, they're going to

124
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of remorse that they let this shut

125
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: down a curb. Billions of dollars of grants canceled today,

126
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: there's a belief that tomorrow furlough notices will go out

127
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: to thousands of workers. The government's going to get shrunk

128
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: just because Democrats closed it down.

129
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's the key point there. Is the Democrats

130
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 7: shut this down. They've taken politics. This is completely a

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 7: political move, not a policy move. To shut the government down.

132
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 7: They wanted to cram policy into just an agreement to

133
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 7: keep the government open for seven weeks so that we

134
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 7: could go through regular order and actually do the business.

135
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 6: Of the government.

136
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 7: But rather than that, they threw politics in there to

137
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 7: completely circumvent this and throw the entire nation into disarray.

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 7: And now the entire country is paying the consequences of this,

139
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 7: with folks note not getting paid, uncertainty, you know, folks

140
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 7: worried about getting you know, nfiped flood plans together while

141
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 7: they're trying to sell property that they're developing. And this

142
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 7: just has so many tendrils of hurting so many Americans.

143
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 7: And the funny thing is is that the Democrats, they've

144
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 7: completely you know, overplayed.

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: Their hand here.

146
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 7: They've tried to add all this policy in there and

147
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 7: try to convince the American people that the Republicans are

148
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 7: unwilling to discuss policy, which can't be farther than the truth.

149
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 7: This is just not the right place to put permanent

150
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 7: policy in without having it go through the normal process

151
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 7: of debating it in committee and passing it on the

152
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 7: floor or passing in the Senate.

153
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 6: It's just completely ridiculous. This is on Schumer's hands.

154
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 7: It's clearly he's worried about the far left, he's worried

155
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 7: about his his reelection, and he's making decisions harming the

156
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 7: American people because of politics, not because of policy.

157
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we've seen so many eighties and nineties

158
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: remakes of movies lately.

159
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: I think the written Mariana should come out with Honey,

160
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: I shrunk the.

161
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: Government, because that's exactly what's happening in President Trump and

162
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: russ vote. Folks like that are championing at the bit

163
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: to make this happen. But what do you make of

164
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: the fact that typically in every shutdown in the past,

165
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: you've got Republican and Democrat messaging wars, and you've got

166
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: plenty of folks on the left who are willing to

167
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: toe the line for Democrats and say, yeah, this is why, yeah,

168
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: this is true. But when it comes to this messaging

169
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: about Democrats trying to protect health care for illegal immorants,

170
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, I don't see a ton of

171
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: folks on the left side who are coming to their

172
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: defense because you guys have done a really great job

173
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: of putting it out there black and white.

174
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 6: Well, I mean it's really simple.

175
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 7: I mean, this is an extension of policy that they've

176
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 7: voted for in the past, just to get us some

177
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 7: time to finish the work of the government. And they're

178
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 7: throwing in these crazy things, I mean, everything but the

179
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 7: kitchen sink of using taxpayer dollars, your dollars to pay

180
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 7: for medical issues for illegal immigrants. And they're trying to

181
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 7: say that that's not it. Just read the bill. Don't

182
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 7: listen to me, don't listen. Just just read what they're

183
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 7: trying to put in their cr They're trying to take

184
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 7: your tax paid dollars and misspend them on things that

185
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 7: we shouldn't be spending them on. And that should be

186
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 7: part of a discussion and regular order and committee, not

187
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 7: as a last ditch effort to hold the American people

188
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 7: hostage and keep the government from operating as it should.

189
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, really important. So I want to talk about if

190
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: the Trump administration carries out the plan that is laid

191
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: out for the American public, will shrink down, We'll cancel

192
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: grants when Congress comes back, do you codify that to

193
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: make sure it doesn't rear its head in a future

194
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: lawsuit or in a future administration. Do you get if

195
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: the Trump makes some hard decisions, does Congress back them

196
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: up and make them permanent?

197
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 6: Well, here's the thing is, you know, leadership, you know

198
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 6: the rank.

199
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 7: And file, we're all in conversation with the administration on

200
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 7: how this affects us. Everybody knows that we're spending ourselves

201
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 7: into oblivion.

202
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 6: Everybody knows we need to make cuts.

203
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 7: I think that the Democrats in some way have played

204
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 7: into the President's hand and giving them tools to accelerate

205
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 7: some of this. And I think it's really important that

206
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 7: we cut programs that are not in the interest of

207
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 7: the nation, programs that we don't support, make sure that

208
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 7: we're cutting that fat. And I think that it's up

209
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 7: to Congress, It's up to the House and the Senate

210
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 7: making sure that we codify these parts that are important

211
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 7: and continue moving forward.

212
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 6: I think one of the things that you.

213
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 7: Hear a lot is making sure that we're very thoughtful about,

214
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 7: you know, where we do these cuts, so that really

215
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 7: is cutting the fat and not having to restructure. And

216
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 7: I think that the administration is going to be thoughtful

217
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 7: about that. I think the votes can be thoughtful about that,

218
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 7: and I think that this Congress is going to be ready,

219
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 7: willing and able to codify that.

220
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 3: Sir, you served this nation with honor in the Air Force,

221
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: I believe, and so you have had many conversations about

222
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 3: military readiness.

223
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: We are seeing the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

224
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: That speech that he gave a few days ago, just

225
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: breaking it down to no nonsense, just military preparedness, preparing

226
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: for the next war. And we've now seen the President

227
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: and his posture on what the cartel, what our conflict

228
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: with the Cartels looks like. Is our military, Harry now

229
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: prepared to take that head on as though it were

230
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: a war, because it pretty much is.

231
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: And there's a lot to unpacked there too.

232
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 7: I mean, first of all, a lot of that speech

233
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 7: about having our military ready to fight wars and win wars,

234
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 7: I mean really a lot of that messaging I thought

235
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 7: was right on point. And I'll tell you a lot

236
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 7: of the folks that I've served with, we're happy to

237
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 7: hear that. Let let's make sure that we are building

238
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 7: the you know, the planet's strongest fighting force, and again

239
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 7: not to not to go to war, but to make

240
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 7: sure other people are afraid to go to war with us.

241
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 7: In terms of the cartel wars, I mean, this is

242
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 7: a big issue.

243
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 6: It's a big issue across this country.

244
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 7: A lot of people think that this is a southern state,

245
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 7: you know, border state issue, but we have the same

246
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 7: problem in Montana. We have cartels that are operating in

247
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 7: and around Montana that are causing trouble. They're running law

248
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 7: enforcement ragged and this really is a war, and we

249
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 7: need to make sure that we're protecting the American people.

250
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 6: That's one of the.

251
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 7: Fundamental charters of having a government is making sure that

252
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 7: you're you're protecting you know, the city, national defense, and

253
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 7: this is a national defense issue because.

254
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 6: We are at war with these people and this.

255
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 7: Is not just you know, random, you know interactions that

256
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 7: these are dangerous criminals that are creating violence, that are

257
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 7: threatening people on the streets of the US and the

258
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 7: streets of Montana. We need to make sure that we

259
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 7: take this seriously. And I'm really glad that this administration

260
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 7: is taking it seriously and taking action because people need

261
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 7: to feel safe in their own homes. And now we've

262
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 7: got an administration that cares about law and order, cares

263
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 7: about national security, cares about safety and is actually doing

264
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 7: something about it.

265
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, now the results are measurable. You can really see it.

266
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: So I want to turn to another form of warfare,

267
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: law fair. We saw the weaponization of the government for

268
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: about ten years. We had a story a couple of

269
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: weeks ago confirming that scores of FBI agents told the

270
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: FBI back in twenty one they believe that the agency

271
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: had become biased under the James Comy Chris Ray era

272
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: of the FBI. James Comy then gets indicted a couple

273
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: of days after that story for low to Congress. First

274
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: time one of the top two law enforcement officials in

275
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: this country had been indicted in a half century. Last

276
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: time was Watergate. John Mitchell, your thoughts on what message

277
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: to the comby indictment says and where the weaponization unraveling

278
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: goes next.

279
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 7: Well, here's the thing is, we need confidence in the system,

280
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 7: and we need to know those folks in the FBI

281
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 7: and these agencies and law enforcement are following the law

282
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 7: and not political agendas. And if the grand jury had

283
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 7: enough evidence to indict, then absolutely this this should be

284
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 7: you know, we should go down this path and see

285
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 7: where this leads. And I'm just happy because I think

286
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 7: people are they're distrusting, and we can't bring trust to

287
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 7: the people if we don't start bringing this to the forefront.

288
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 6: So I'm really happy about that.

289
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 7: And I'm just going to tell you I've been very

290
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 7: pleased with Director Patel on what's going on with the

291
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 7: FBI right now. He's actually, you know, opened a new

292
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 7: office here in Billings, Montana to deal with a lot

293
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 7: of the issues that we have here, and he's taken

294
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 7: the job seriously. In terms of the indictments. Like I said,

295
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 7: if a grand jury has the evidence that they think

296
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 7: to indict, then we need to go down that path

297
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 7: and see where it leads us, because we need to

298
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 7: make sure that the American people have faith in the

299
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 7: institutions of this nation, especially you know, institutions such as

300
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 7: the such as the FBI.

301
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 4: Congressman, before we let you let you go.

302
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: Farms across this country, even there in Montana, have been

303
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: crushed for years, whether it is regulatory, whether it's the taxes.

304
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: They have not been able to function and flourish the

305
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: way that we would like them to so that they

306
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: can feed America. And the Trump administration is set to

307
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: offer them some major relief next week. What do you

308
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: think is most important for these folks to hear so

309
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: that they can feel settled and feel like they can

310
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: actually thrive again.

311
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I understand a lot of our farmers and ranchers

312
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 7: are suffering right now. They're they're concerned, especially in Montana,

313
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 7: our grain grain producers are very concerned. There's a lot

314
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 7: of grain, you know, on the ground. We're trying to

315
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 7: figure out, you know, how to how to survive. But

316
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 7: I'm just going to put this in.

317
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 6: A really simple, simple format.

318
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

319
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 7: You know, the agricultural sector is incredibly important to my district,

320
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 7: incredible to the economy and my district. It's incredible, incredibly

321
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 7: important to the economy of my state. But it's above that.

322
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 7: This is a national security issue. Throughout the history of humanity,

323
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 7: if you want to bring a country down, you make

324
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 7: it so it can't feed itself. And we need to

325
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 7: make sure that our farmers and ranchers are being taken

326
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 7: care of, and we need to make sure I know,

327
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 7: a lot of the stuff that they were concerned about.

328
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 7: We got into the one big, beautiful bill, but that's

329
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 7: only part of it. We need to make sure that

330
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 7: we get a new farm bill in there that we've

331
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 7: got all the things that they need, from crop insurance.

332
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 6: To everything that's in there.

333
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 7: We need to get a long term reinstatement of that,

334
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 7: and that's very important to them. But the bottom line is,

335
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 7: this is not just about a local economy of a

336
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 7: rural state. This is about national security. And I'm happy

337
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 7: that the President is taking this seriously because we need

338
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 7: absolutely to make sure that our farmers and ranchers continue

339
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 7: to do what they do best and feed this nation.

340
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and feeding the world. They're so good at it.

341
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: It's such an amazing industry of the world. Congressman, such

342
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: a great honor to have you on the show. We

343
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: always thank you for your great service and your continued

344
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: service in Congress. Good to have you on today.

345
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 6: Hey, thank you so much for having me you you

346
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 6: have a great day.

347

Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, appreciate you very much. All Right, folks,

348
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: after the break, we'll have another great congress a person

349
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: here on to talk about the latest shutdown. I have

350
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: a Congressman, Marrey that Miller Meeks. She always brings a

351
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: lot of interesting issues at the forefront. We'll have her

352
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: next one. That's for these messages. Hey, folks, I've got

353
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: an important message for you about high blood pressure. It's

354
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: one of the highest risk factors for mentality. Nearly one

355
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: in two adults have high blood pressure meeting there's about

356
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty chance you could be affected. Getting

357
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: help and taking control of your blood pressure is crucial

358
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: for your health and longevity, and one way to do

359
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: that is by using one twenty life. And one twenty

360
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: life is not just to help manage high blood pressure.

361
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: It also can be beneficial for those with diabetes because

362
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: managing high blood pressure can help with diabetes, making one

363
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: twenty life a valuable tool for overwall whelmings. One twenty

364
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: life is trusted by healthcare professionals, with over one thousand

365
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: doctors recommending it to help manage your blood pressure naturally.

373
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody to just the News, No noise. It

374
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: is day two of the government shutdown, and it doesn't

375
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: look like Democrats are going to be coming to the

376
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 3: table to negotiate anytime soon. So what's next and how

377
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 3: can Republicans and the Trump administration use this to their favor.

378
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: Joining us now to discuss that and more is Iowa

379
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: Congresswoman Marionette Miller meets Congresswoman, Thanks so much for being here.

380
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 8: It's great to be with you both.

381
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: I actually want to skip that for a moment and

382
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: start where we left off with Congressman Troy Downing with

383
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: this farm package. Now, Secretary Bessett doesn't strike me as

384
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: a farm boy, but it seems like he, along with

385
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: the rest of the Stripe administration, cares very much about

386
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: helping out farms that have been crushed under crushing policy.

387
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 3: Tell us about what you anticipate is going to come

388
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: from this, because a lot of good stuff was in

389
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: OB three.

390
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 9: There is some very good stuff in OB three, very

391
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 9: good stuff for farmers and for agriculture in general, also

392
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 9: agricultural manufacturers.

393
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 8: But you know, the ability to pass on a farm.

394
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 9: The forty five Z and forty five Q tax energy

395
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 9: tax credits were important.

396
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 8: We worked hard to get those. We've worked since the

397
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 8: beginning of.

398
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 9: The year to get the r vos up so that

399
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 9: that would increase the amount of both ethanol and biodiesel

400
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 9: that comes from commodities grains. So, you know, farmers are

401
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 9: happy to have the relief, but they are struggling. Quite honestly,

402
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 9: the farm economy has been struggling since twenty two twenty three,

403
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 9: but it's worsened. So action on the tariffs, action on

404
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 9: new markets. Remember, through the Biden administration, we had four

405
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 9: years of doing nothing on trade whatsoever. So Secretary Rollins

406
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 9: as she's looking and going on trade missions, trying to

407
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 9: open up new trade packages.

408
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 8: That is critically important to our farmers.

409
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 9: We're competing with Brazil for ethanol and biodiesel as the

410
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 9: Chinese Communist Party has opened up the market in South America,

411
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 9: and so it's very important for farmers to number one,

412
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 9: have access to these resources, have access to new markets,

413
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 9: and then hopefully see some relief through the tariffs as

414
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 9: trade deals are negotiating.

415
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so very important. And I want to turn to

416
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: the shutdown. On the way the studio, man and I

417
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: passed a great group of National Guard patrolling our streets,

418
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: making us safe in the Capitol. They're working today, but

419
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: they're not getting a paycheck because the Democrats shut the

420
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: government down. What are the Democrats really holding out for.

421
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: We have a lot of back and forth over this,

422
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: but it seems like they're just trying to help big

423
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: insurers and legal immigrants. Am I overstating it?

424
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 9: Well, you're not overstating it. And thank you for mentioning

425
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 9: about our military. I actually had a veteran contact me

426
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 9: and said, why are you saying that the military aren't

427
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 9: going to be paid?

428
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 8: Well, the reality is the military's essential.

429
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 9: Workers, just like customs and border protection law enforcement via hospitals.

430
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 9: But they have to work, but they don't get paid

431
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 9: up until about October fifteenth. They've already received their paycheck

432
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 9: for the first of October, but if the shutdown goes

433
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 9: on longer, they will have to continue to be working

434
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 9: and not be paid.

435
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 8: I've talked extensively.

436
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 9: On this issue, and one of the reasons why I

437
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 9: voted for continuing resolutions despite criticism and condemnation in the past,

438
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 9: was because of the effect it has on our military. Military,

439
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 9: customs and border protection law enforcement are out there working.

440
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 9: If they're federal, they're not going to be paid if

441
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 9: they're paid twice a year. So it is very important

442
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 9: that we in this shutdown. And as I said, why

443
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 9: I have voted for this continuing resolution which was clean

444
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 9: and bipartisan and seven weeks and in the past. Now,

445
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 9: why are the Democrats doing that? They say it's about healthcare. Well,

446
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 9: let's examine that. If it were only about health care

447
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 9: and not getting illegal immigrants to get Medicaid, then they

448
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 9: could have isolated this section in their own CR that

449
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 9: dealt with the premium tax credits under Obamacare.

450
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 8: But they didn't.

451
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 9: They specifically wanted to repeal this section that has to

452
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 9: do with Medicaid going to illegal immigrants. And people will say, well,

453
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 9: they're not allowed to have Medicaid.

454
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 8: It's illegal, it's illegal, but states have worked around it.

455
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 9: And the prime example of that is Gavin Newsome, when

456
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 9: we passed the Working Family's Tax Cut Bill, came out

457
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 9: and said, we're going to have to rethink our policy

458
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 9: of giving health care to everyone and to illegal immigrants

459
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 9: because it's costing US twelve billion a year. And what

460
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 9: they were doing was using the expansion of Medicaid, the

461
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 9: expansion population where the federal government your tax dollars, the

462
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 9: federal government would cover ninety percent instead of the typical

463
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 9: state federal match for Medicaid, and so they were shifting

464
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 9: those moneies around. That's what they were doing. And then

465
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 9: the next is on the enhanced premium tax credits. You know,

466
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 9: they like to pretend like this is something that goes

467
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 9: to help low income Americans.

468
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 8: And Chris Coons, Senator Kuons.

469
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 9: Actually let the cat out of the bag in an

470
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 9: interview on CNN. He said the premium tax credits were

471
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 9: put in to make the Affordable Care Act affordable BINGO,

472
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 9: it was never a marketplace solution.

473
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 8: Obamacare has only led to higher and hire premiums since

474
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 8: its inception.

475
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 9: And John, I know you and Amanda will recall that

476
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 9: President Obama said at the time premiums would come down

477
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 9: by twenty five hundred dollars. If you liked your dot org,

478
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 9: you could keep your doctor, If you like your health pen,

479
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 9: you can keep your health plan. And even the Washington Post,

480
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 9: I don't think that's a conservative newspaper the last time

481
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 9: I checked, but even the Washington Post gave it four

482
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 9: pinocchios as some of the greatest lies. And premiums have

483
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 9: skyrocketed so what did the Democrats do. The original premium

484
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 9: tax credits were for people making up to four hundred

485
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 9: percent of the federal poverty level to purchase insurance on

486
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 9: the exchange. The money goes directly to the insurance company.

487
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 9: It goes directly to the insurance company. This is a

488
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 9: bailout to the insurance companies. And under COVID in March,

489
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 9: when they passed the American Rescue Plan, the COVID funding,

490
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 9: they extended and took the income cap off of the

491
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 9: tax credits and had enhanced premium tax credits to any

492
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 9: income level. So a family of four could make up

493
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 9: to six hundred thousand a year and qualify and only

494
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 9: pay up to eight point five percent of their income

495
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 9: in health insurance costs and the rest of that money

496
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 9: is going to the insurance company.

497
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 8: And so the enhanced premium tax.

498
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 9: Credits were supposed to be temporary under Obamacare. But what

499
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 9: the Biden administration and the Democrats were really doing where

500
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 9: they were hiding the true nature of how much insurance

501
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 9: was costing because the Affordable Care Act and all of

502
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 9: its regulatory structure made it unaffordable and so it was

503
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 9: supposed to expire. They then extended it in the IRA

504
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty two to expire in December of twenty

505
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 9: twenty five. All of it goes directly to the insurance companies.

506
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 9: It is a bailout to big insurance companies, and it

507
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 9: was all to hide the fact that they didn't want

508
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 9: people to have high insurance, higher insurance premiums. In the

509
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 9: twenty two elections, they were hiding the fact that the

510
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 9: Affordable Care Act has made insurance unaffordable.

511
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 3: I wonder which party health insurance companies predominantly donate to.

512
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 8: Well, let's look up. Let's look that up.

513
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we do what congress Woman said.

514
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 9: I want private health insurance, make no mistake about it.

515
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 9: But extending these enhanced premium tax credits for high income individuals.

516
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 8: Already four hundred percent of the poverty.

517
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 9: Level is almost sixty three thousand or more for individuals

518
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 9: and about one hundred and twenty nine thousand for a family,

519
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 9: so they're already significant, and they could get insurance on

520
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 9: the marketplace, which is what we did, not the Obamacare exchange,

521
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 9: but in the marketplace.

522
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 8: That's what we did. In the Working.

523
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 9: Families Tax cut, was trying to make health insurance affordable.

524
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 9: So if they really want to talk about healthcare and

525
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 9: trying to make insurance affordable, let's have that discussion, but

526
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 9: not a one point five tree in spending in a

527
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 9: seven week continuing resolution. Let's get the government open, Let's

528
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 9: get our military paid for, Let's get our veterans the

529
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 9: care they need, Let's help our families and our low

530
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 9: income individuals, and then we can do reform for healthcare

531
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 9: in the appropriations process, which.

532
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 8: Is where it belongs.

533
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely sense, Congress Oman said this week as a wash.

534
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: So let's just assume that next week you guys come

535
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: back together.

536
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 4: What moves the needle for Democrats? What do they bend on?

537
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: Because frankly, there I don't feel like the leverage is

538
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 3: really with Democrats. The Republicans don't have to bend on

539
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 3: much of anything because Trump and Vestment and vote are

540
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: just going to just keep chopping the federal government down.

541
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 9: Well, you're correct, We've already passed a continuing resolution in

542
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 9: the House, so we have done our job. We passed

543
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 9: a continuing resolution. This is Schumer's shut down, and they

544
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 9: have no plan to reopen the government. So we're not

545
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 9: going to cave on one point five trillion spending over

546
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 9: a seven week period. We're not going to give up

547
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 9: those hard fought changes we made to prohibit illegal immigrants

548
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 9: from having Medicaid. We're not going to We're not going

549
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 9: to cave on that. And as I and I've had

550
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 9: people come talk to me in Washington about the premium

551
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 9: tax credits, and even people in our own party, and

552
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 9: I said, hould the phone, old military talk here, old phone.

553
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 8: There's two things.

554
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 9: One is the premium tax credits from the Original Affordable

555
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 9: Care Act Obamacare. The second is the enhanced premium tax credits.

556
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 9: I said, I am not voting to extend enhance premium

557
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 9: tax credits that have no income limits.

558
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 8: I'm not voting to extend.

559
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 9: Then, so what are the Democrats going to do? How

560
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 9: are they going to get themselves out of this mess?

561
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 9: And so people say, it doesn't matter who's to blame

562
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 9: for the shutdown, It doesn't matter if it's Schumer's shut down.

563
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 9: Get the government back open, negotiate. We are negotiating, but

564
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 9: you have to be reasonable in negotiation, and they are

565
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 9: not reasonable. Is insane for us to go along with

566
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 9: what they want. But nonetheless, we have been very clear

567
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 9: we're happy to have this discussion on healthcare and premium

568
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 9: credits the original ones and how do we make health

569
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 9: insurance affordable in the appropriations process, not in a seven

570
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 9: week continuing resolution. Well, they may be, by the way,

571
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 9: voted for thirteen times. Thirteen times they voted for continuing

572
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 9: resolutions under the Biden administration.

573
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 4: That's right. Well, someone who brings sanity two hour show.

00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 11: who he is, why he cares so much about health

627
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 11: in the country, and how his family legacy continues even

628
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 11: after family members pass on far too soon.

629
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 12: I don't know if there's a curse. We do what

630
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 12: we're supposed to do, the outcomes in God's hand.

631

Speaker 5: Orlando's beautiful this time of year.

639
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: It is, indeed, and a lot of anticipation. The Angel

Speaker 5: That's right, Jim Caviz is in this picture.

643
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 11: You probably recognize him as Jesus and Passion of the

644
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 11: Christ is directed by Alejandro.

645
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 5: Monteverde, which I'll give you just a little hint. I

646
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: am going to be interviewing him tomorrow.

647
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 11: He's the famed director of Sound of Freedom, and I

648
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 11: know that everybody in this audience knows the title Sound

649
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 11: of Freedom.

650
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 5: You think back John and Amanda to Angel Studios, the

651
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: little Studio that Could, this.

652
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 11: Little tiny studio started by a bunch of brothers in Provo, Utah,

653
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 11: and what they did with the series The Chosen, and

654
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 11: what they did with Sound of Freedom.

655
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 5: When Disney wouldn't. Disney wouldn't put it out.

656
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 11: Twenty century Fox wouldn't put it out because they didn't

657
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 11: like the subject matter. Well, now you have a studio

658
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 11: that is totally designed to amplify light. And I'll be

659
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 11: honest with you, John and Amanda, and being at this

660
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 11: conference and seeing these storytellers, these content creators, these documentary makers,

661
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 11: they are wanting it's in their heart, it's in their mission,

662
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 11: it's in their ethos to amplify light.

663
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 5: We're in a dark culture, We're in a dark world.

664
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 11: And what Angel Studios and what this conference does is

665
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 11: brings Christian filmmakers together to help them to create the

666
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 11: content that will amplify that light.

667
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing.

668
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: Well, were you finding as you talk to people there

669
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: on the marketing side of things, what does it look

670
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: like for them as far as their customer base, Because

671
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: it seems to me that as the quality has increased,

672
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: that there are a lot more people who are placing

673
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: eyeballs on these types of things.

674
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 11: There are a man, and I know that you and

675
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 11: I share a common background in entertainment.

676
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: This is no longer preaching to the choir.

677
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 11: I want to be very clear about this, and I

678
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 11: say this as someone who is in two projects actually

679
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 11: being pitched for distribution here full disclosure. But the type

680
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 11: of content people want to see now is not just

681
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 11: that cheesy Christian content that used to be made. ICVM

682
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 11: has been around for about fifty years. This is the

683
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 11: fifty third conference. So when you see the types of

684
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 11: things that are being released, and let's use RFK Legacy

685
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 11: as an example, Testament, which is about the Book of

686
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 11: Acts set in modern times. You look at a week Away,

687
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 11: you look at Sketch, you look at the film about

688
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 11: That's Going to Come about the Present, about George Washington,

689
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 11: Young Washington. These are films and pieces of content that

690
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 11: are accessible and interesting to a much much wider diverse

691
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 11: audience than it used to be. So this is no

692
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 11: longer just Christians talking to Christians. This is also about

693
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 11: expanding that base and finding people who want to see

694
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 11: content that is very well made. But also as a message,

695
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 11: and let's be honest, John and Amanda, we think about

696
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 11: what happened in the wake of Charlie Kirk's untimely death.

697
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: People are hurting.

698
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 11: There's a lot of disaffected young men out there. We

699
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 11: need to be producing content that serves them. So that

700
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 11: they don't go on to dark webs and I think

701
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 11: that's what ICVM and Angel Studios are all about.

702
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an amazing time. What are some of the

703
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: you've been wandering around walking around at this conference. There's

704
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: always amazing things. What are some of the things that

705
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: most surprise you as you were taking in all that's

706
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: going out at the conference.

707
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 11: I'll tell you what surprised me, John is distributors here

708
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 11: from Estonia, from Brazil, from Portugal, from places all across

709
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 11: the world that say, if you just have a product,

710
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 11: we'll subtitle it, just send it over there. There is

711
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 11: an incredible need, an incredible desire for content. There's actually

712
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 11: someone speaking right now who's a producer of film I

713
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 11: was in about four or five years ago. It kind

714
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 11: of has an Amish plot, and apparently people all across

715
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 11: the world are very interested in plots that have the

716
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 11: Amish stories, for instance, but these biblical tales, and in

717
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 11: seeing what's happening in the United States especially, Let's be honest, guys,

718
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 11: that the revival that's happening right now in this country

719
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 11: in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, what Erica Kirk said,

720
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 11: You've unleashed something, you've started something. There's a palpable feeling

721
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 11: in this world right now that it's happening right now

722
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 11: in this country. And thankfully there's an ICVM and there's

723
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 11: an Angel Studios to help these filmmakers tell those stories

724
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 11: that amplify like we've got to serve that community.

725
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 3: Before we let you Gobo zero AD that comes out

726
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 3: in December, right, just give us a little tease about it.

727
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, it comes out in December. Actually, there's a premiere

728
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 11: that's happening tomorrow night. I have not seen it yet.

729
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 11: I can't wait to see it. But of course you

730
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 11: all know Jim Cavizel in that incredible name. But Angel Studios,

731
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 11: I just want to say this before we go. There

732
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 11: is a new partnership that we have with Angel Studios

733
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 11: where if you go to Angel dot com slash rev

734
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 11: you can become a Guild member.

735
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 5: Now, I may say, why would I do that?

736
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 11: Well, because Angel Guild members get to vote on what

737
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 11: is actually created by Angels, so you have a vested

738
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 11: voice in the content that gets made. So Testament, RFK, Legacy,

739
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 11: zero AD, Young Washington, these are all projects that have

740
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 11: to have an overwhelmingly high threshold of voting in order

741
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 11: to go past the guild and get made.

742
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 5: And I think that's an amazing.

743
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 11: Part of this because Hollywood is pretty much doesn't have that.

744
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 11: This is up endo the Hollywood model, and Angel's got

745
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 11: the solution to that, and they're one of many distributors

746
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 11: that are here. But I think it's just important for

747
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 11: our audience to know that if you go to Angel

748
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 11: dot com slash rev you can become a guild member,

749
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 11: vote on all the great content that's there, and also

750
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 11: get exclusive behind the scenes access to a lot of

751
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 11: these projects as well.

752
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: So please do that one exciting opportunity. I'm signing up

Speaker 1: We're going to talk remind you about one of America's

762
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: fastest growing crimes and why it's getting so easy to

763
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: commit and go right after your most valuable asset, your home.

764
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that after the commercial break Bulge Back America.

765
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: I promise this here that I was going to get

766
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: everybody educated on the growing crime of home title theft

767
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: and really stealing your equity, because that's really what it is.

768
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: This month, every week we're going to do a segment

769
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: in bringing you into some new details, massive new case

770
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: in Detroit, Michigan that just shows how fast growing and

771
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: terrible this crime is. It's more than home title theft,

772
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: it is stealing your most valuable asset in your portfolio. Well,

773

Speaker 1: John. All right, this is a pretty remarkable moment. We've

779
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 1: been talking about this crime for a couple of years now,

780
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: but a local nonprofit director gets charged with a pernicious

781
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: deed fraud scheme targeting low income people in Detroit. This

782
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: is like the worst case scenario, isn't.

783
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 14: It It is because we have vulnerable victims in this case,

784
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 14: people who are actually gone to this charity to try

785
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 14: to get help with their because they're behind in their

786
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 14: property taxes, only to have their houses stolen out from.

787
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 13: Under them by this woman who was arrested by the FBI.

788
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, just this crazy, and it also shows how systematic

789
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: and easy it is to do. There really are no protections.

790
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: These county clerks are register of deeds. They've got no

791
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: say if that document comes insigned, they got to process

792
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: it right.

793
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 14: In their defense, their job is not to investigate in

794
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 14: the validity of a deed coming into their office that's

795
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 14: going to transfer title from one person to another. They're

796
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 14: solely by statute allowed to record those deeds in the

797
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 14: public record. So unless you're keeping track of your own

798
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 14: the status of your own home title, there's really no

799
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 14: one watching the store.

800
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so great. That's why it's so important, all right.

801
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: So in the past, a lot of these cases are

802
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: a one to one relationship. One bad guy pulls off

803
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: a scheme, rips some people off, and then eventually gets caught. Here,

804
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: it looks like you had a ring no miss working

805
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: because the indictment talks about other people playing with this

806
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: nonprofit director to create this, and I think there are

807
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: about thirty properties that they stole. Do you think this

808
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: could be a trend line that now you're going to

809
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: see rings committing this together.

810
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 13: Well, we've seen this before, right.

811
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 14: I investigated a case when I was an FBI agent

812
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 14: in Honolulu against a couple, John and Julianne Dimitrian, who

813
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 14: were stealing equity from the homes of people and their

814
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 14: fugitives to this very day being.

815
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 13: Hunted by the FBI.

816
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 14: I retired before I could catch them, so I failed

817
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 14: in that regard.

818
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 13: But they got a lot of people.

819
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 14: Then we take a look at a case from Chicago

820
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 14: where it was an actual county clerk accepting two hundred

821
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 14: dollars bribes to file false.

822
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 13: Deeds so they could steal equity.

823
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 14: And so this isn't a brand new crime, but it's

824
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 14: something that appears to be increasing, probably due to the

825
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 14: use of AI and easy photo editing software like where

826
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 14: you can attach fake names and fake signatures to documents

827
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 14: to file them with the county clerk.

828
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: You obviously remember a case poignantly yourself because you wanted

829
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: to solve it and you know how victimized the victims were.

830
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: But a lot of times law enforcement doesn't have this

831
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: as a top priority, particularly at the local level, because

832
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: they got so many other things to work about. Tell

833
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: us a little bit about the limitations of what local

834
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: police particularly can do.

835
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: Well.

836
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 14: Again, I'm a big fan of local police, so I'm

837
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 14: not here to denigrate them, and I know you are

838
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 14: as well, John, But the fact of the matter is,

839
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 14: most police departments are overworked, and the idea of kind

840
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 14: of a sophisticated paper caper that may actually go beyond

841
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 14: the jurisdiction of their county often isn't a high priority

842
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 14: for local police. And the other thing is a lot

843
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 14: of these cases go unreported because people just don't know

844
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 14: what to do about it. They spend a fortune on

845
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 14: civil attorneys to try to unwind the mess and restore

846
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 14: that home back into their own name.

847
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a lot. I've talked to people who

848
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: actually either went to law enforcement went to a prosecutor,

849
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: said this is probably better if you just go get

850
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: a civil attorney. That's a big process once you go

851
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: to the civil isn't it. It is.

852
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 13: It's incredibly expensive.

853
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, and I know how much lawyers costs,

854
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 14: and the idea of hiring an attorney when you've done

855
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 14: nothing wrong to unwind the situation and get this home

856
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 14: back into your name can end up being very expensive.

857
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 14: And it's also terrifying because while that's happening, you continue

858
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 14: to get foreclosure notices from the bank that you that

859
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 14: land on this home as collateral.

860
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: A lot of us are too busy to go and

861
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: check on our title every few weeks. So tell us

862
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: how home Title Lock makes this a much easier process

863
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: to protect what is it really our most valuable asset

864
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: for most of us.

865
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, like you said, you drive yourself crazy trying to

866
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 14: check the status of your home title every single day.

867
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 14: So home Title Lock offers a service that they call

868
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 14: triple lock Protection where they're going to monitor the status

869
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 14: of your title and they're going to notify you if

870
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 14: anything should go sideways with that or if there's any

871
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 14: change whatsoever, including a lean being placed on your property.

872
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 14: And then the third thing is if the bad guy

873
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 14: is able to get away with transferring the title of

874
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 14: your property to someone else, they're going to spend a

875
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 14: million dollars on attorneys to restore that home back into

876
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 14: your name so you could sleep easy.

877
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, That is a remarkable thing,

878
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: as lawyers are pretty expensive. Having that protection is going

879
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: to give someone the peace to sleep at night and

880
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: not worry about it. It's such an easy thing, and

881
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: we have such a great partnership. What I love about

882
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: Home Title Lock is they have so many great law

883
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: enforcement experts that work with them, like yourself. They really

884
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: understand how the crime is committed and that's how they're

885
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: protecting us so well. That's a big part of this company,

886
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: the law enforcement connection. Right.

887
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 14: They are the perfect goalie in this hockey game against

888
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 14: home title defrauders, that's for sure.

889
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. That's a great analogy goalie. Absolutely, time. Simon,

890
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: what a great honor to have you on the show.

891
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for your service to your country as an FBI.

892
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,279

00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: It's great to have you on today.

Speaker 1: back in a second with more news.

905
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 3: Welcome back to our final segment of the night. The

906
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: Texas redistricting map was a big point of debate in America,

907
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 3: and if you remember, some of those Democrat leaders in

908
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 3: Texas even ended up fleeing to other states to avoid

909
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 3: voting on it. But the Texas redistricting map did finally

910
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 3: get past. Governor Greg Abbott made it official on August

911
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 3: twenty ninth. While most would think that that's how the

912
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 3: story ends, judges in Texas have decided to hear arguments

913
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 3: against that new maps. So joining us now to discuss

914
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 3: as Texas State Representative Steve Toath, he's also running for

915
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 3: US Congress Steep, thanks so much for joining us.

916
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 15: Hey, Amanda, Hey John, great to be with you guys.

917
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no I mean, there is absolutely no

918
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 3: surprise that Democrats are fighting this, but what are their

919
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 3: chances in front of this court?

920
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 16: You know, since the Pedaway case scales and Pedaway don't

921
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 16: I don't think, you know, and there have been multiple

922
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 16: there have been multiple cases. And I think the reason

923
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 16: why Peedaway went the way it went in twenty.

924
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 15: Twenty four was because the courts were.

925
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 16: Starting to say, if you've got to take these, you know,

926
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 16: incredibly heroic, gymnastic measures, with this ridiculous jerry manderin to

927
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 16: try and get a majority minority districts, It's it's ridiculous.

928
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 16: And Texas just went ahead when we drew these maps,

929
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 16: as John Huffman said, I drew the maps line.

930
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 15: To race and that's what we did.

931
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 16: And you know, the courts, the courts have got to

932
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 16: start protecting equal representation across the land. You've got New England,

933
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 16: six states, fifteen million people, guys, fifteen million people, forty

934
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 16: three percent Republican, and not one, not one congressional Republican district.

935
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that really is an issue. And you pointed out

936
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: something important here, which is the storyline Democrats and their

937
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: liberal friends like to say is, oh, this is being

938
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: done by Texas for jerrymandering and for political gain in

939
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth election. But in fact, the Justice Department

940
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: required the state to do this because there were appellate

941
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: court rulings that said Texas was out of compliance with

942
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: the current law. So this isn't actually Jerry Manning. This

943
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: was actually required to be done right.

944
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 16: It was required of us to do it in it, Yes,

945
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 16: in response to Petaway to get compliant. But look, guys,

946
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 16: I mean at the end of the day, I still

947
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 16: struggled with what we did that we didn't go far enough.

948
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 16: If we had used the same metrics that Illinois uses

949
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 16: and California uses, we'd only be given the Democrats three

950
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 16: seats instead were leaving them.

951
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 13: With eight seats.

952
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 16: So look, I'm happy that we've done what we've done.

953
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 16: I think we're really trying to strike a balance of

954
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 16: true equal representation across the state of Texas, while California,

955
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 16: in Illinois, in New England and the rest of the

956
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 16: Blue states don't give a damn about it.

957
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to ask you, since it's because I

958
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 3: think we had a conversation with you about the legality

959
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 3: of those Democrats who fled the state using any type

960
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 3: of campaign money to flee.

961
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 8: Did you find out.

962
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 4: That any of them ended up using any official money.

963
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 16: We haven't opened up an investigation, and honestly, I'm just

964
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 16: really disappointed in the Speaker of the Texas House, Dustin Burroughs.

965
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 16: He could have convened the General Investigative Committee to do

966
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 16: a full investigation, but he refuses to do it. Why

967
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 16: because I think we know what he's going to find.

968
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 16: We know that they took money. We know that Neil's

969
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 16: transportation hotels were all paid for by Better Work and

970
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 16: his political Action Committee, And we need to investigate it

971
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 16: and not leave it to anyone else to do this

972
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 16: but ourselves.

973
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so very important. There's an extraordinary streak going on,

974
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: and that is a Texas month over month, year over year,

975
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: is winning the expansion battle on jobs, on new investment,

976
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: and it is the number one state in America attracting

977
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: business investment. What is that recipe that the legislators and

978
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: the governor and the great business climate of Texas has

979
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: that is getting so much attention to the business world.

980
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 16: You know, in two thousand and nine, coming out of

981
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 16: the two thousand and eight recession, forty percent of the

982
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 16: jobs in the United States were created in Texas.

983
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 15: Eighty percent of those jobs for small businesses.

984
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 16: This is the place for entrepreneurs to come and take it,

985
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 16: take a chance, and that's what It is just small

986
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 16: business owners like myself. I have a small service company.

987
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 16: We have twelve employees, and it was twenty years ago

988
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 16: that I rolled the dice and worked hard and I

989
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 16: could not have picked a better place to do it

990
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 16: than Texas.

991
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. Sir.

992
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 3: You are running for US Congress, and you know there

993
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 3: are a lot of opinions out there about Dan Crenshaw.

994
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 3: It seems that when I look at the comments to

995
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: his post, his base, his own constituents have major issues

996
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 3: with his funding of Ukraine, his support of that, calling

997
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 3: MAGA supporters terrorists, that the ground is rife for someone new.

998
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 4: They're in Texas.

999
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 16: Yeah, sure is so two years ago when someone ran

1000
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 16: against him, they spent no money. Nice guy, but he

1001
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 16: really couldn't spend He didn't raise any money, so he

1002
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 16: didn't spend any money and he got forty three percent

1003
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 16: of the vote.

1004
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 15: Which who does that? And that's what the polling's showing us.

1005
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 16: Right now, that it wants a strong MAGA America first

1006
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 16: conservative that has some strong name idea, that has a

1007
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 16: consistent voting record.

1008
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 15: And that's me.

1009
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are the issues you're seeing? Real quickly before

1010
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: we let you go what are the issues you're seeing

1011
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: that most resonate with voters? What mood are voters in

1012
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: now that we got to shut down here in Washington

1013
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: via right.

1014
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 16: Yeah, so the issues are in this order, the border,

1015
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 16: then second is the border, and then third is the border.

1016
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 16: And while Dan Crenshaw's been looking out for Ukraine's border,

1017
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 16: he's been a wall. In fact, he got together with

1018
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 16: a group of Democrats in the Senate and tried to

1019
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 16: give us a like anytime you hear about a bipartisan

1020
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 16: border deal with Democrats, just run run the other way.

1021
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 15: But he didn't.

1022
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 16: He tried to work with a Biden administration to pass

1023
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 16: this legislation. While Trump was saying close the border, you

1024
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 16: don't need any legislation. I didn't need it in twenty sixties,

1025
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 16: demonstrated in twenty twenty four that he didn't need it.

1026
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 16: He closed the border. But Crenchhall want to do this

1027
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 16: bipartisan deal. It allowed five thousand people into the country

1028
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 16: a day. That's one point eight two five million in

1029
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 16: a year, which is ridiculous.

1030
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 15: It's breaking our economy.

1031
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,359
