We'll be deploying over the next one hundred 6 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: days and beyond, and over the next hour, we're going 7 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: to be talking to some of the players on the 8 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: front lines of that extraordinary transformation of America. Now, we're 9 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: very lucky to bring you this conversation tonight in partnership 10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: with our friends at AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens. Now, 11 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: over the summer and fall of last year, I was 12 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: fond of telling our viewers that the easy job of 13 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election would be winning the election, 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: and that the harder job would be governing a country 15 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: that suffered so much harmed the last four years from inflation, 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: in security, and insanity. It's a big job for Republicans 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: who now control the House and Senate and White House, 18 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: but it's made more challenging by the GOP's raise your 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: thin margins of the House and Senate. They're all going 20 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: to need to be on the same page to get 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: major progress done. Now that said, the new Trump administration 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: got off to a roaring start in Congressional Republicans now 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: have a chance to help the president do something great. 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: And as President Trump has said numerous times since taking office, 25 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: it's about launching a new golden age for America. Now, 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: how can they do that? Well, getting off to a 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: good start is a must, and that's why the Trump 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: two point oh Agenda needs to tackle topics like taxes 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: to unleash the American economy. It needs to put a 30 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: final end to dei policies that are crippling the government's 31 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: ability to govern effectively and have the most effective workforce. 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: They also need to put a stop to the outrageous 33 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: government spending that has created a national jet which is 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: turned into an existential crisis for the nation. And they must, 35 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: of course also protect free speech, something we're going to 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: talk about up in one of the blocks tonight. All 37 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: of these things got a running start with President Trump's 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: executive orders earlier this week, but a lot more work 39 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: ahead now.

When 43 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: we're talking here about dismantling DEI programs and policies in 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: our government.

So I'll help us understand 47 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: how they're going to cut the size of government and 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: spending and make it more efficient. And we're also going 49 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: to talk to the author of President Trump's groundbreaking executive 50 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: order ending censorship by the government.

I know 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: you guys are ready for the job. 59 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: We sure are, and Borrior, we thrilled talk about a 60 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: roaring success, a whopping forty six presidential actions taken on 61 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: January twentieth, the loan for appointment announcements. I mean, John, 62 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: as you outlined in a very recent article, President Trump 63 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: has articulated a vision and that's centered on security, prosperity, accountability, 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: and fairness. And we heard that throughout his inaugural address. 65 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: And while executive orders have been instrumental in initiating these changes, 66 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: President Trump recognizes that the lasting and comprehensive reforms do 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: require legislative action. That's where AMAC comes in. AMAC Action 68 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: plays a critical role in really shaping and supporting legislation 69 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: that aligns with the values and priorities of America's seniors 70 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: and American patriots. AMAC Action is a powerful voice, John, 71 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: very powerful on Capitol Hill. We're building relationships with lawmakers, 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: testifying before congressional committees, rally and grassroots support to influence 73 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: policy decisions.

Two million extraordinary patriots working together. It makes 78 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: change happen, and it's going to be fun in this 79 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: new environment to see how that change goes. And over 80 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: the next hour, we're going to work on that together 81 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: and help people understand what's on theirrizon.

You are 88 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: eating sleeping tax cuts day in and out. Tax policy. 89 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: Tell us what's on the horizon and in your committee. 90 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: You know, John, we have control. Republicans have control of 91 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 3: the White House, the House, and the Senate because of 92 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: President Trump. Would not have any of those if it 93 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: was not for what he campaigned on, what he pushed for. 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: Seventy seven million Americans supported that, and President Trump has 95 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: not been wasting one second and delivering on everything that 96 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: he promised. When it comes to growing the economy, making 97 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: sure that businesses are not strangled by regulations, you name it. 98 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: And so what we are focused on is making sure 99 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: we're delivering on the President's economic proposals. When it comes 100 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: to tax relief for small businesses, for working families, from farmers. 101 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 3: We have to extend and make permanent President Trump's tax 102 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: cuts that will be expiring at the end of this year. 103 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: If we don't, every single American john will face the 104 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: highest tax increase in the history of our country. And 105 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: failure is not an option. We will not allow that 106 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: to happen. But Congress should not be kicking the can 107 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: down the road. Let's deliver on those policies. Now we 108 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: know exactsactly what the President's ask for and what the 109 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 3: American people expect. Let's get the job done. 110 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely excellent under a Trump administration, How should Congress 111 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: address the challenges of balancing tax cuts with funding these 112 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: critical programs like Social Security and medicare? Are there any 113 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 2: specific tax reforms that you would prioritize really to ensure 114 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: economic growth but also safeguarding these important programs. 115 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 3: Well, for the last two years, we've been reviewing and 116 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: looking at the expiring tax provisions, but the entire tax 117 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: code of what are the things that we could do 118 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: that create economic prosperity and growth. We need to increase 119 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 3: our GDP. If you increase our GDP to three percent, 120 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: that's not a huge number. If you increase that by 121 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 3: three percent, you'll bring in more than three trillion dollars 122 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: of revenues into the coffers. That will help lower the deficits. 123 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: But also we need to be cutting spending. Think about this. 124 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: Over the last fifty years, revenues coming into the country 125 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: has consistently stayed right at seventeen percent of GDP. However, 126 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: spending has typically been about twenty percent of GDP. However, 127 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: in the last five years, we have seen spending of 128 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: a percent of GDP being twenty six percent. That's why 129 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: you're seeing record deficits. And it's discretionary spending and mandatory 130 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: spending that we have to look at. And there's a 131 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: lot of waste, there's a lot of fraud, there's a 132 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: lot of inefficiencies. I think just providing efficient technology when 133 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: it comes to healthcare can save a lot of money, 134 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: hundreds of billions of dollars within our system. 135 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's clearly a strong evidence. I had a 136 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: lot of good research on that. So I want to 137 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: ask a little bit about if there are some savings 138 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: from dode is ore and appetite in Congress to take 139 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: some of those savings and buck up the Social Security 140 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: and Medicare funds which are hurtling towards insolvency and in 141 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: less than a decade. 142 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: Now, you know, the President has been crystal clear we 143 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: need to protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare. We 144 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: all know that both of these programs become insolvent by 145 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: twenty thirty two, twenty thirty three. That year shifts back 146 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: and forth, and Congress is going to have to act. Unfortunately, 147 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: you see Congress too often you kick the can down 148 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: the road, and they like to pass things in an emergency. 149 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: Some of my colleagues on the other side of the 150 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: building are like, well, we can just extend the Trump 151 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: tax cuts in December. Are you kidding me? This is 152 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: what everyone hates about Washington. John, There's twenty six million 153 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 3: small businesses right now that's making the decisions of how 154 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: to invest in their companies, worried do they have a 155 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: tax rate of forty three point four percent or a 156 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: tax rate of twenty three point four percent. Congress need 157 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: to do their job, deliver create certainty for the economy. 158 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: Important you mentioned social Security, and we understand the looming threat. 159 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: It's often referred to as the third rail of politics. 160 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 2: How do you think the next administration who can really 161 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: break through the political gridlock implement meaningful reforms. What role 162 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: do you see bipartisan cooperation playing in this effort. 163 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 3: Anything that you do in regards to Social Security and 164 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: Medicare has to be bipartisan. It is not something that 165 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: one party can do. These are two programs that are 166 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 3: too important for the American people and it's something that 167 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: they need to have certainty in if you do it 168 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: bipartisan and accomplish successful bipartisan policies and reforms within Social 169 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 3: Security and Medicare to make sure that those programs do 170 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 3: not become insolvent. That is the key. Partisan partisan changes 171 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: will never ever last. 172 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point. That's too important to not 173 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: to have bipartisan buy in on them. So I want 174 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: to ask a little bit about two very popular ideas 175 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump ran on during the campaign. No tax 176 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: on tips, no tax on Social Security. You'll get that done. 177 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: This Are you confident you can get that done? 178 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: I don't see any kind of plan where eliminating no 179 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: tax on tips is not in any tax bill that 180 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: I send out of the House of Representatives. The President 181 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 3: has made that a top priority, John, we are the 182 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: party of the working class. No tax on tips is 183 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 3: in the Republican Party platform. It was put in it 184 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: in July. Republicans need to deliver on that proposal. Tax 185 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: relief for seniors is also something that we have to 186 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 3: deliver on. Reconciliation creates an obstacle where you can't touch 187 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 3: Social Security, but you bet you we can still provide 188 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 3: tax relief for seniors who who are paying high taxes, 189 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 3: and we're we're going to deliver on that. 190 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: Wow. 191 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: Exciting, Yeah, Chairman. The national debt is continuing to climb, 192 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: economic pressures are mounting on American families. Share a little 193 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: bit more about what the Houseways and Means Committee's top 194 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: priorities are for really addressing these issues. 195 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: But in the short term, well, when you're looking at 196 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,239 Speaker 3: the debt, we're focused. The House Ways and Means Committee 197 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: is what's in charge of all the revenues coming into 198 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 3: the country, and so we're focused on what are those 199 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: policies that can be pro growth, that can bring in 200 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: those revenues that can reduce deficit spending. The President has 201 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: made it very clear that he's going to be implementing 202 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: teriffts that's revenue that will be coming into the United States, 203 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: and those are things that we have to consider when 204 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 3: we're looking at the overall fiscal health of the nation. 205 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: We also have to cut some serious spending. There's no 206 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 3: question about that. I mean, they're spending still left over 207 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: from COVID programs. Have Congress withdraw all that money. There's 208 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: at least over one hundred billion dollars. There's employees like 209 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: the employee Retention tax Credit program. It is a very wasteful, 210 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: fraudulent program. Eliminate that program. You could say fifty billion dollars. 211 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 3: There's numerous ways to cut the spending, create more efficiencies, 212 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,599 Speaker 3: and grow the economy. Those are the items in the 213 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: overall broad schemes of what we are doing in the 214 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 3: Ways and Means Committee. 215 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty exciting, sir. There are COVID chows us. Another thing, 216 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: which was that we had a big problem in our 217 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: supply chain and the opportunity that President Trump and I 218 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: know you've talked about a lot too, is to create 219 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: a manufacturing renaissance in America. Talk a little bit about 220 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: the opportunity for insourcing and getting supply lines back in 221 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: the United States, and how tax policy and your economic 222 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: policies might help us spur that. John. 223 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: We have to make sure that our country is secured 224 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: with our supply chains when it comes to food, when 225 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: it comes to energy, when it comes to healthcare. We 226 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: need to be secure. If we're not, that means our 227 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 3: country is dependent on another nation, and we need to 228 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 3: help bring these supply chains back to the United States. 229 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 3: That's why President Trump campaigned on creating tax incentives for 230 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 3: manufacturing here in the United States, and those are the 231 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: policies that we will be pushing and advocating for in 232 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: this tax bill, but also in the trade policies moving forward. 233 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: We need to make sure American manufacturers, American workers, American 234 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: farmers are first, not foreign manufacturers, foreign farmers, and foreign workers. 235 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: An exciting notion, something that's been missing for the last 236 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: four years, but seems to be on the horizon now. Sir, 237 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: what a great honor for having you on the show today. 238 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us.

Listen. No conversation about what Donald Trump 258 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: is going to accomplish in the next four years would 259 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: be complete without talking about the war against DEI. A 260 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: liberal philosophy that puts equity ahead of merits, something most 261 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: people in this country don't agree with. Our next gues. 262 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: This has been on the front lines of this battle 263 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: long before it was on most people's radar. He's been 264 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: fighting DEI for years. He's a Congressman from the great 265 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin and Sherman and one of Congress's most 266 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: important oversight committees subcommittees. He is Congressman Glenn Growthman, Congressman. 267 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: Good to have you back on the show. 268 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: Let's be on the show all right. 269 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: You have always taught me about this, and I love 270 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: the history of this. But Duy's been around with different 271 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: names for a long time. It just keeps creeping back 272 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: into government, doesn't it. 273 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 4: Well, right, I think a lot of your listeners don't 274 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 4: know because they imply we've got some white racism problem 275 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 4: here if they're listening to Joe Biden. But we've had 276 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 4: affirmative action in this country that every business going back 277 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 4: to nineteen sixty four with at least fifty employees has 278 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 4: had to fill out a form connected with it. And 279 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 4: even though they say it doesn't result in affirmative action, 280 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 4: it does. 281 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 5: So. 282 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 4: Evan Essen has been discriminated against white guys in this 283 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: country since nineteen sixty four. More recently, these horrible big 284 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 4: cooperations have picked up and gone beyond what the government requires, 285 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 4: and even had DEI departments in which they hire employees 286 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 4: to tell their employees how horrible and racist and sexist 287 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 4: America is, and how we got to look out for 288 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 4: the transgenders and this and that, and of course they're 289 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 4: all around the government, they're all around universities. Donald Trump 290 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 4: and one of his great first things he did is 291 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 4: he shut down the DEI agencies in the federal government. 292 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: And the purpose of those, like I said, was just 293 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 4: great discord among Americans of different ethnic groups. It seems 294 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 4: a little ridiculous on its face, because immigrants coming here 295 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 4: do better than native born. I don't care whether you're 296 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 4: talking about people from India, from China, from Philippines, from Cuba, 297 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 4: any one of these countries. They do better than the 298 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 4: native born. But nevertheless, a goal of the hard left 299 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 4: has always been to tear America apart, and one way 300 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 4: to do it is get a president there like President 301 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 4: Biden who talks about white supremacy or the clergy woman 302 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 4: we had the other day talking about how we're all 303 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 4: picking on the transgenders or whatnot. But Donald Trump has 304 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 4: removed from the federal government anybody pushing this DEI stuff, which, 305 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 4: by the way, really got a second life, you might 306 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 4: say in the nineteen seventies when the radical the borderline communists, 307 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 4: and there are such people in the United States. They 308 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 4: had wanted to destroy America in the nineteen sixties by 309 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 4: dividing America by wealth, and they wanted to make people 310 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 4: really jealous of successful people, and they were hoping that's 311 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 4: the way they could take down America as they took 312 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 4: down Russia about sixty years before that. It didn't work 313 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 4: in the sixties. Americans are too happy and well adjusted 314 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 4: to say I want a revolution because some guys got 315 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 4: a big mansion or whatever. However, their fallback position was 316 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 4: trying to divide America and set everybody against quite frankly 317 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 4: white males. And they've been pushing this in the universities, 318 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 4: in big corporations since the seventies and eighties. It really 319 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 4: picked up steam under Joe Biden, who really bought into 320 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 4: this idea that we've got to tell all the young 321 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 4: people that we have a horrible white society and we've 322 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 4: got these white supremacts every year, even though I've never 323 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 4: run into one of them, but they sure had a 324 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 4: lot of influence on federal government. They hired these bureaucrats 325 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 4: who educate their employees how horrible America is. Obviously, the 326 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 4: universities that was right up their alley hire a bunch 327 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 4: of professors, and whether you're major in the field or 328 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 4: even just taking a random class. Why in the world 329 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 4: we'd be paying people to tell our young people we 330 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 4: have a horrible country. I don't know, but I'm glad 331 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 4: President Trump is on the case. I'm glad we got 332 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 4: rid of some of these federal employees. The next thing 333 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 4: up is we have to make sure that when we 334 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 4: give out government contracts, we give them out to the 335 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 4: best company or the lowest bidder, not discriminating against people 336 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: because they're white males. And that's what was going on 337 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 4: under Joe Biden. Hopefully Donald Trump is going to get 338 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 4: rid of all of that affirmative action stuff that has 339 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 4: been around by law since nineteen sixty five under Lyndon Johnson. Amazing, 340 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 4: it is amazing here Joe Biden talking about all the 341 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 4: white supremacy and actually what's been going on. They've been 342 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 4: discriminating against the white guy for sixty years. That's true. 343 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: If I could ask you quickly, President Trump's recent executive 344 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: order that reaffirms the biological reality of male and female. 345 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: With this clear directive, how do we ensure that our 346 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 2: public schools stop pushing dangerous gender ideologies on children and 347 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: really prioritize parental rights. 348 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 4: Really hit an important issue here, you know, being a politician, 349 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 4: I was out bringing doorbells a few months ago. I 350 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 4: ran into two grandmothers, two different households in which their 351 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 4: grand children were becoming transgender. And of course this is 352 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 4: something that you never saw when I was a child. 353 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 4: It's what happens when we have these horrible people in 354 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 4: the schools and in the popular culture educating young kids, Oh, 355 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 4: you may be a transgender, and it just breaks the 356 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 4: hearts of the grandmothers. If the kids don't snap out 357 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 4: of it, it makes the mess of their whole life. 358 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: So I'm glad President Trump has made it clear where 359 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 4: he stands on the issue. And as far as schools 360 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 4: that are out there, I think you just have to 361 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 4: monitor what's going on, monitor make sure your school board's 362 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: doing the right tame thing. And if they're getting any 363 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 4: push to this transgender thing, and they do make progress 364 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 4: in the schools, you just have to raise holy hell 365 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: at the next school board meeting and say what in 366 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 4: the world are we doing having guidance counselors tell the 367 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 4: young children, you know that if you're a boy, you 368 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 4: might be a girl, or vice versa. And I don't 369 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 4: mean to pick on the schools, they're a problem. Even 370 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 4: worse are the doctors. You have doctors. I know in 371 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 4: the state of Wisconsin they're cutting off the breast of 372 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: fifteen year old girls. Can you believe that? I mean, 373 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 4: they're out of their mind. It lowers your opinion. I 374 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 4: used to think that it was the smart kids who 375 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: went to medical school. Turns on it's the douvest kids 376 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 4: who went to medical school, which is kind of scary. 377 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: Well, we know you're going to be on this for 378 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: all the time in Congress and the great work you 379 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: do with your Oversight committee, sir, good to have you 380 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: on the Showtay, thanks for joining us there.

AMAC. 389 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: Do us slash no noise right now. Welcome back in America. 390 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: One of the big expectations American voters have is that 391 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his partners in Congress will shrink the 392 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: government and make it less expensive, less indebted, more responsive 393 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: to the American people. Well, in order for that to happen, 394 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: our next guest is going to be on the front 395 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: lines of exposing how we went off the rails and 396 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: how we can fix it. She is the chairwoman of 397 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: the sub committee that is in charge of DOGE, that 398 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: the Government Efficiency Operation. She's a good friend of the 399 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: show as well. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green from Georgia, congress Woman, 400 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: good to have you on the show. 401 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 6: Hi John, good to be here. 402 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: We love having you every time you come on. You've 403 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: been fast that word from the moment you got this assignment. 404 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: Give us an early idea where Americans might where some 405 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: of these counts might actually come from. 406 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 6: Well, a lot of these cuts can come from common 407 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 6: sense places. Believe it or not. The problem here in 408 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 6: Washington is a lot of Americans hard earned tax dollars 409 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 6: get spent in ways that really is incomprehensible, and there's 410 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 6: a lot of waste that goes with it, and actually 411 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 6: there's tremendous amount of fraud. And so we're going to 412 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 6: be holding hearings and investigations to uncover where this US 413 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 6: cash is going that we need to keep right here 414 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 6: at home, and that we can cut spending. So I 415 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 6: don't want to unveil all of our plans yet, but 416 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 6: we can't wait to get started. 417 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: I bet exciting. 418 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 2: Yes, And President Trump's recent executive order eliminating DEI programs 419 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: from federal agencies has really sparked some debate. What impact 420 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: do you believe that this move will have on federal 421 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: hiring practices and really government operations. The critics who argue 422 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: that it undermines efforts to create a more inclusive and 423 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: equitable workplace, what is your response. 424 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 6: Well, you know, actually President Trump campaigned on something that 425 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 6: many Americans agree with, and that hiring people, they should 426 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 6: be hired on merit, not by their skin color, their gender, 427 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 6: their their ideology. It should be about can they do 428 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 6: the job. And so President Trump has put an executive 429 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 6: order in place with a hiring freeze for all federal workers, 430 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 6: and that was so important to do. He also signed 431 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 6: an executive order getting rid of DEI. Well, you can 432 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 6: see the resistance is already back at work here in Washington. 433 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 6: We just learned recently that someone was the DEI director 434 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 6: in one of the departments quickly changed their name to 435 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 6: something like Senior Policy Administrator or some other title. So 436 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 6: I think what we're going to what we're going to 437 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 6: see happen. And John, you are so well aware of this, 438 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 6: you've you've watched it and covered it for years. Is 439 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 6: the same resistance move meant that was in place in 440 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 6: President Trump's first administration is going to be coming back 441 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 6: in place and trying to resist President Trump's policies and 442 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 6: executive orders. Again, just recently, there was a poll, I 443 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 6: think it was done by CBS maybe ABC, I could 444 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 6: be wrong over which one asking federal employees if they 445 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 6: planned to resist President Trump's policies, and I think it 446 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 6: was something like forty seven percent said they were going 447 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 6: to resist his policies. So it's been a breath of 448 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 6: fresh air watching President Trump sign these executive orders. But 449 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 6: it's going to take diligent and important hard work in 450 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 6: the PPO Department of going through and finding these federal 451 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 6: employees that need to be fired, that we need to 452 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 6: let go, and making sure that when the freezing, the 453 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 6: hiring freeze goes away, we're hiring people based on merit, 454 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 6: just like President Trump is asked, great idea, I just. 455 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: Want to follow that up with a question. Given the 456 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: often polarized I guess i'd call it political climate, how 457 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: would you describe the current dynamics and really working relationships 458 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: among members of Congress, particularly within the House under the 459 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 2: Trump administration. Have you noticed any shifts in collaboration or 460 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 2: overall attitudes compared to previous terms. 461 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've seen a big change ever since President Trump's 462 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 6: historic election landslide. I've seen a lot of my Republican 463 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 6: colleagues that really weren't Trumpers, maybe were against President Trump. 464 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 6: I didn't like Maga. Well now they're singing praises to 465 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 6: the Maga agenda. I think that's pretty funny because I've 466 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 6: watched that big swing of support to President Trump, especially 467 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 6: after seeing and knowing these Republican colleagues for pretty much 468 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 6: who they really are. But you want to you want 469 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 6: to know something. I want President Trump to have all 470 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 6: the support. I want all my Republican colleagues in the 471 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 6: House to support his agenda because this is the mandate 472 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 6: that the American people voted for. This is what they deliver, 473 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 6: This is what they want Congress to do, is to 474 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 6: support President Trump. Next week we have our Republican Issues 475 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 6: Conference down in Miami, where our entire House Conference will 476 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 6: be going down getting to work on the reconciliation bill 477 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 6: that we've got to produce, and hopefully we'll come together 478 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 6: and get something good for the American people. 479 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: Pretty exciting, a lot of work to be done that week, 480 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: and I'm sure Congress from I want to turn to 481 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: something that a lot of Americans probably don't understand until 482 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: they read about it, and that is that the government 483 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: is in the news business. They have all these news 484 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: organizations or so called news organizations, Voice of America, there's NPR, PBS, 485 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: the Board of Broadcasters. At this moment when we're thirty 486 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: six thirty seven trillion, and do we need a government 487 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: fund of news meeter? Is that something that's going to 488 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: get some good scrutiny from you. 489 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 6: A you know, I look forward to having MPR and 490 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 6: PBS come before my committee where that is one we're 491 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 6: working on, John, and I'm glad to throw that hent 492 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 6: out there. I had also posted about it. You know, 493 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 6: PBS attack Elon Musk just last week and basically called 494 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 6: him a fascist when he said I give my heart 495 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 6: to you. He put his hand over his heart and 496 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 6: put his hand out to the people and he said, 497 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 6: I give my heart to you. That doesn't sound like fascism. 498 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 6: That sounds like tremendous support from Elon Musk to the 499 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 6: American people. But he was attacked, nevertheless by PBS, who 500 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 6: receives American people's harder and taxpayer dollars. And I think 501 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 6: they need to come before the committee and explain to 502 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 6: us why they deserve that money. When they're going to 503 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 6: be basically the mouthpiece of the Democrat Party and attack 504 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 6: the Democrat Party's political enemies. This can't be allowed. But 505 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 6: I look forward to seeing them and having them come 506 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 6: before the committee. 507 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: That's going to be a fun one, no doubt. 508 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: Sure will be. Congresswoman. So many AMAC members were grateful 509 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: that Trump pardoned the individuals involved in January sixth, But 510 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 2: how might you compare those pardon those pardons granted by 511 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: President Biden, specifically the members of his own family. Can 512 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: you provide some context, I guess on these actions and 513 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: share your thoughts on whether there has been any prosecutorial overreach, 514 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: particularly concerning those imprisoned for their involvement at the Capitol 515 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 2: on January. 516 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 6: Sixth, you know January sixth offendants. I have been supporting 517 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 6: and defending them from day one. I was by myself 518 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 6: for a long time there. I was one of the 519 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 6: first members of Congress to go in the DC jail, 520 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 6: and we wrote a report it's still on my website 521 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 6: green dot House dot gov called Unusually Cruel that came 522 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 6: out in December of twenty twenty one. This was long 523 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 6: before any it was popular for any Republican to actually 524 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 6: defend these people and expose how horribly they were being 525 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 6: treated and how their rights were being abused. Basically, I've 526 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 6: said from the beginning, I was so thankful I had 527 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 6: urged President Trump to give them pardons, full pardon, because 528 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 6: these people truly were persecuted by the weaponized government. They 529 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 6: you didn't see ANTIF and BLM rioters get prosecuted this way. 530 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 6: Over ninety five percent of BLM and antif rioters charges 531 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 6: were dropped and they walked free after burning down American 532 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 6: cities and communities night after night and attacking police officers. 533 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 6: Then we have President Biden pardoned his own family, pardon 534 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 6: January sixth committee members, Pardon Anthony Fauci, Pardon Mark Milly, 535 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 6: and he pardoned a lot of horrible criminals, rapist murderers, 536 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 6: child murderers, He pardoned them as well. So, you know, 537 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 6: I pretty much let the press have it yesterday because 538 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 6: they have a sick obsession with January six and they 539 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 6: wanted to ask me and Pepper me about, you know, 540 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 6: how can President Trump pardon these January sixth defendants and 541 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 6: what I had to say about that, And so I 542 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 6: pretty much let him know exactly what I think. And 543 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 6: I think those videos have made the rounds. Here's the 544 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 6: good news. When the press acts like political activists, like 545 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 6: Democrat activists, and they abuse their power, which is the 546 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 6: power of the press, the good news is the American 547 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 6: people now have a platform like x and other social 548 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 6: media where they can post the truth and their entire 549 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 6: story with it, and we don't have to we don't 550 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 6: have to be controlled by the media anymore. We can 551 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 6: go directly to the American people, and that's what I 552 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 6: definitely will do. 553 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, You've done that time and time again and very effectively. 554 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: I've seen it with my own eyes. Co Gus Won. 555 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: We got about a minute left. I just want to 556 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: ask one quick question. As you start to rack up savings, 557 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: and I know you'll rack up a ton of savings 558 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: with Elon Musk, can some of that money be put 559 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: towards Social Security Medicare so that seniors have a longevity 560 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: of confidence in the programs because they're both heading towards 561 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: bankruptcy in thirty two. 562 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 6: I think, yeah, these are very important programs that seniors 563 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 6: depend on. You know, these these are our grandparents and 564 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 6: great grandparents work their entire lives, and they paid in 565 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 6: and they deserve every single penny back, and they deserve 566 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 6: to be taken care of. The government has no right 567 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 6: to rob their hard earned dollars and take it away 568 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 6: from them and in these benefits, and Republicans have said 569 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 6: that over and over again, even though Democrats lie about 570 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 6: us and say that we're going to hurt their benefits 571 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 6: and take away their money. Thankfully, President Trump one of 572 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 6: his campaign promises was no taxes on Social Security benefits. 573 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 6: I think that is a no brainer. It's just common sense. 574 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 6: And so I've actually shockingly had to argue with some 575 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 6: of my Republican colleagues as they don't support that. Some 576 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 6: conservatives you wouldn't believe it, do not support President Trump's 577 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 6: policy of no tax on Social Security. Well, you know what, 578 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 6: I've taken to the microphone and our conference meetings several 579 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 6: times argued back with them and urged them to go 580 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 6: back to their districts and tell the seniors that vote 581 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 6: for them and live in their districts that they don't 582 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 6: support that. I don't think that would go very well 583 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 6: for them. But what we've got to do is we've 584 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 6: got to make sure that we make these government programs efficient. 585 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 6: That means when they need to run well, they need 586 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 6: to cost less so they can serve the people that 587 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 6: have paid in. 588 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: That's going to be a big mission and one everyone 589 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: in America is going to be watching closely. Congresswoman, it 590 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: is always an honor to have you on. It's also 591 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: fun to just watch you in action. Thanks for joining us. 592 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 6: Today, you bet, Thanks for having. 593 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: Me great, Thank you so much. All Right, folks, we're 594 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back. 595 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: Another big topic for the Trump two point OHO agenda 596 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: is ending censorship, protecting free speech in America. And after 597 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: the break, we're going to talk to the man who 598 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: authored President Trump's executive order protecting free speech. Mike Benz 599 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: will be here right after the commercial break. Welcome back 600 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: America to this just toitus Real America's Voice special, brought 601 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: to you by AMAC. Now. New conversation about the Trump 602 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: two point oh agenda could be complete if we didn't 603 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: talk about all the gains that President Trump is already 604 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: making to protect free speech and end censorship in federal agencies. 605 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: A lot of that work was laid early by a 606 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: group called the Foundation for Freedom Online and its groundbreaking 607 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,959 Speaker 1: founder Mike Benz, who was an aid to President Trump 608 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: in the first administration. He took on censorship head on, 609 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: and he was the author of that amazing executive order 610 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: that President Trump signed on money to ban all federal agencies, 611 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: federal contractors, and federal subcontractors from getting involved in censorship anymore. 612 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: And we're lucky to be joined by him right now, Mike, 613 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: could have you back on the show. 614 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 5: Great see John I, Rebecca all right, tell. 615 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: Us about this executive order and why it is so 616 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: important to protecting free speech in the long term. 617 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 5: Well, the Executive Order is designed to stop the government 618 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 5: grants and contracts that provide the economic lifeblood of the 619 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 5: censorship industry. It's important to understand that while we have 620 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 5: a censorship industrial complex, the lifeblood of. 621 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 4: It is the industry. 622 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 5: Just like in a war, mercenaries don't work for free, 623 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 5: it requires money. In the information war, these censorship mercenaries 624 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 5: get their money primarily from the US government, and about 625 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 5: twenty different government agencies and bureaus all provide various forms 626 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 5: of economic rants and contracts to do counter misinformation work, 627 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 5: to do media literacy work, digital resilience work, information integrity work. Now, 628 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 5: none of this existed at all until the twenty sixteen 629 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 5: election of Donald Trump. The entire field was birth in 630 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 5: order to stop the thing that just happened in November 631 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 5: of twenty twenty four, that is the election of a 632 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 5: populist candidate, whether here in the US or in Europe. 633 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 5: And it's The Executive Order is broadly defined in terms 634 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 5: of the infringement against First Amendment protected speech. But what 635 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 5: it does is it's not just the direct ban on 636 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 5: federal agencies in bureaus from recreating, for example, DHS's Office 637 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 5: of misdis and Malinformation, but also bars the pass through 638 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 5: grants and contracts and any activity that facilitates the carrying 639 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 5: out of infringement of First Amendment protected speech. So there 640 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 5: are some loopholes in the sense that some of these 641 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 5: censorship programs are farmed out to foreign countries nominally to 642 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 5: insulate their populations against propaganda from say Russia or China, 643 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 5: and there remains the possibility that those programs will simply 644 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 5: use those funds to target Americans while not telling anyone. 645 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 5: So there has to be a very vigilant effort to 646 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 5: stay on top of this. We're actually seeing a similar 647 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 5: fight happen in the DEI space right now. We're in 648 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 5: response to the DEI Executive Order. There have been at 649 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 5: the ATF and at NASA and other agencies a simple 650 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 5: renaming of the office or of the titles of the 651 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 5: executive so that they can do what they're doing but 652 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 5: evade the EO. There's now effectively a BOLO be on 653 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 5: the lookout for this at all of the different federal agencies. 654 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 5: The same thing is going to need to be done 655 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 5: in the censorship space. 656 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 2: Amazing now AMAC formed as the Conservatives alternative for people 657 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 2: fifty plus, over two million members. They're curious how many 658 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 2: NGOs were working with social media companies to suppress content. 659 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 2: Can you elaborate there? 660 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 5: Oh, it's thousands globally and hundreds within the US. The 661 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 5: NGOs formed the plausible deniability layer for the US federal 662 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 5: government to coordinate and implement this activity under what they 663 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 5: call the whole of society doctrine. When Trump won the 664 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 5: twenty sixteen election, all these folks got in a room. 665 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 5: I literally watched them and have posted many of these 666 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 5: clips online and said, Russia and China don't have this 667 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 5: problem where an upstart populist politician can upend the political 668 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 5: orthodoxy in their countries. But we can't do We can't 669 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 5: do the Russia China technique because that would be autocracy. 670 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 5: We need to come up with some other structure to 671 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 5: accomplish the same result, but do it through a slightly 672 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 5: different process. And what they arrived at was this concept 673 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 5: of instead of a top down total government control mechanism, 674 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 5: they would create a whole of society partnership, a vast 675 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 5: web of public private partnerships between the Department of Homeland Security, 676 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 5: the Department of State, the FBI, the National Science Foundation, USAID, 677 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 5: and then fund all these different NGOs, all these different 678 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 5: activist groups, all these different university centers, as well as 679 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 5: private sector pop up censorship mercenary firms, so that they 680 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 5: would be getting government money in government direction, but the 681 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 5: technical pressure would be primarily being applied through the NGO layer. 682 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 5: So it's become basically a giant growth industry in the 683 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 5: nonprofit space to move into so called disinformation studies or 684 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 5: disinformation work because of the handouts from the federal government, 685 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 5: much in the same way that DEI was. But it's 686 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 5: hundreds in the US and thousands across the world. 687 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: Amazing. 688 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,479 Speaker 2: Wow, that's really amazing. Do you trust the social media 689 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 2: companies who are now aligning with President Trump and his 690 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 2: initiatives for free speech? 691 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 5: I trust them as far as I can throw them, 692 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 5: and I'm not sure that I could throw them very far. 693 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 5: But the nice thing about the system that I see 694 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 5: being erected currently is that trust is not a necessary 695 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 5: prerequisite to being able to work together. Frankly, I think 696 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 5: that Elon Musk has his heart in the right place 697 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 5: and also has a strong backbone. I think that Mark 698 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 5: Zuckerberg did not want to do ninety five percent of 699 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 5: the censorship that Meta has done since twenty sixteen. But 700 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 5: he's you know, I think he's got a good heart, 701 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 5: but a weak spine. And I think what we've moved 702 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 5: into now as a movement in terms of free speech 703 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 5: activism is really a reconstruction of that same whole of 704 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 5: society pressure and motivation of good incentives that we effectively 705 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 5: copied from the sensors, which is to say that, as 706 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 5: we speak, if these social media companies were to go 707 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 5: too far in the other direction, we have congressional subcommittees 708 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 5: who can subpoena them and effectively put them on public 709 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 5: trial through hearings or bring them in for on the 710 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 5: record penalty of perjury transcribed interviews. We have legal folks 711 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 5: like America First Legal under Stephen Miller and Gene Hamilton, 712 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 5: who've been very effective in this space. We now have 713 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 5: a robust press, including you and John and the work 714 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 5: that FFO is doing. And we now have an executive 715 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 5: branch who is dedicated to wiping this out in the 716 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 5: same way they're wiping out DEI. So the nice thing 717 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 5: about what we're what we're building now is it doesn't 718 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 5: really require trust. The simple ability to modify the incentives 719 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 5: by creating good governance structures is probably the strongest asset 720 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 5: or our disposal. 721 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: And you played such a big role, Mike in building that. 722 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,479 Speaker 1: You illuminated first that industrial complex of censorship we didn't 723 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: know existent, and then you created a deturn system to 724 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: protect us in the future. Of the work that you 725 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: did at the Foundation for Freedom Online truly made this 726 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 1: a for your country. It's such a great honor to 727 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: having the show tonight, my friend. 728 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 5: Thank you, John, Thanks for Becca. 729 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: Good to have you on.

We know that a lot of the big 756 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: fights that are going to happen in Congress in Washington, 757 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: our issues that AMAC has been leading on for years. 758 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: Tell us how the AMAC Grassroots Army is going to 759 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: get involved and make a difference in the beginning of 760 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: this Trump presidency. 761 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,240 Speaker 7: Well, John, We're very blessed to have such an active 762 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 7: and engaged membership and one of the most effective ways 763 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 7: that we marshal the grassroots is through our call to 764 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 7: action campaigns, where we activate the AMAC membership to contact 765 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 7: an election an elected official on a specific issue. These campaigns, 766 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 7: John could be directed to committee members to pressure them 767 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 7: to move a bill out of their committee and onto 768 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 7: the floor for a vote. They can be directed to 769 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 7: the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or both 770 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 7: to compel them. 771 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 4: The past vital legislation. 772 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,399 Speaker 7: And we also use this same strategy on the state level, 773 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 7: where we were successful in twenty twenty four and getting 774 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 7: key election integrity and parental rights bills passed in states 775 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 7: throughout the country. We can deploy these campaigns on a 776 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 7: micro or a macro level, and AMAC members have made 777 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 7: us so successful using the strategy that we now count 778 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 7: hundreds of thousands of campaign participants among our AMAC army, 779 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 7: and we can do these with very little notice. And 780 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 7: we stand ready, John to activate this army when the 781 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 7: situation calls for it. 782 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: Pretty impressive, So. 783 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 2: Great, Andy. You know, we heard President Trump and his 784 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 2: inaugural speech. He emphasized the importance of strength and in 785 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 2: national security, fostering economic growth, among so many other things. 786 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 2: Share with us the key and main focus area for 787 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 2: AMAC action during the first one hundred days of the 788 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 2: Trump presidency, there's a. 789 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 4: Lot going on. 790 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 7: It's been a flurry of activity, and we've been tracking this. 791 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,839 Speaker 7: We've been trying to keep up with the president. It's 792 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 7: been said that he's done a month's of work in 793 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,240 Speaker 7: a day and a half, and I have a tendency 794 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 7: to believe that. But as far as key issues for 795 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 7: the first hundred days, we want to see those Trump 796 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 7: tax cuts, we want to see them made permanent. A 797 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 7: lot of our members are still working, as you know, Rebecca, 798 00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 7: AMAC members skew younger than other members of senior organizations 799 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 7: and a. 800 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 4: Lot of them still work. 801 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 7: A lot of them own small businesses and making these 802 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 7: Trump Trump tax cuts permanent would benefit them to expand 803 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 7: their businesses, give them the confidence they need to hire 804 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,280 Speaker 7: more people and jumpstart the economy. That's a very important 805 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 7: issue to us, and all the work that's done on 806 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 7: the border protecting seniors in that respect, they are very, 807 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 7: very vulnerable to these attacks that we've been witnessing by 808 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 7: illegal aliens in cities across the country. The President has 809 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 7: done yeomen's work already, but we want to make sure. 810 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 7: We want to get that wall bills, we want to 811 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 7: make sure that the deportation efforts are underway and that 812 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 7: we will support them in any way that we can 813 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 7: to protect our seniors from this invasion of illegal aliens. 814 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 4: We also want to see. 815 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 7: President Trump follow through on no taxes on Social Security. 816 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 7: We want to make sure that seniors have as much 817 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 7: money as they possibly have can have in their pockets 818 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 7: during their retirement years. 819 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, very important. 820 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 2: In fact, Andy has amac actions any legislative successes thus 821 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 2: far in the new Congress. 822 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 7: We have Rebecca amac actions supported the Lake and Riley Act, 823 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 7: and if you recall, this bill is named after Lake 824 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 7: and Riley, a college student who was tragically murdered by 825 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 7: an illegal alien who had been arrested on a shoplifting 826 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 7: charge before the attack. This legislation ensures that illegal aliens 827 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 7: who steal or assault a law enforcement officer are detained 828 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 7: by Immigration and Customs enforcement instead of being allowed back 829 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 7: onto the streets. This bill passed both chambers of Congress 830 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 7: and it will now head to President Trump's desk to 831 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 7: hopefully become the first bill he signs into law during 832 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 7: his second term. 833 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: It's pretty exciting. There's a dynamic that this president and 834 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: the Congress will face. There are a lot of anti 835 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: Trump activists embedded in the government. There are lots of 836 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: groups that are going to sue and try to stick 837 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: their leg out and try to trip up the agenda. 838 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: Talka a little bit andy about how the grassroots can 839 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: come over some of that resistance just by having every 840 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: day Americans get active. 841 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 7: Well, you know you've said it all in that statement. 842 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 7: People don't realize them. This is what we try to 843 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 7: emphasize that AMAC Action people can make a difference by 844 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 7: just getting involved on any level of government, getting involved, 845 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 7: for example, bringing us issues in their hometown or in 846 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 7: their state that we need to take a look at 847 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 7: as an advocacy organization, working the polls, getting involved in 848 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 7: the election process. They don't realize how much power they 849 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 7: have as constituents and as everyday Americans and everyday citizens, 850 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 7: and our demographic, the AMAC demographic has the time to 851 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 7: get involved on a local level, on a state level, 852 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 7: and on a federal level. And what we do at 853 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,240 Speaker 7: AMAC Action is try to educate them specifically on issues, 854 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 7: have them, encourage them to have those kitchen table conversations 855 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 7: with their neighbors, with people they go to church with, 856 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 7: and get them involved in the political process and the 857 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 7: legislative process as well. 858 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 2: Good point, Andy, Can you share with us quickly the 859 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 2: recent call to action campaign in California that focused on 860 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 2: the state legislatures in action to address the victims of 861 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 2: the deadly wildfires that have occurred in that state. 862 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,320 Speaker 7: Well, absolutely, Rebecca, Just to catch our audience up. AMAC 863 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 7: Action has regional representatives who live in California and they're 864 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 7: dealing firsthand with the failure of leadership in that state 865 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,879 Speaker 7: with regard to the devastating wildfires, and they were particularly 866 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:31,360 Speaker 7: outraged that the state legislature was preoccupied with debating on 867 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 7: how to trump prove the state rather than focusing their 868 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 7: efforts on helping people that are affected by these deadly wildfires. 869 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 7: So last week we ran a campaign to let our 870 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 7: California members voice this concern directly to the legislature, to 871 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 7: call them out to get their priorities straight. The campaign 872 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 7: generated over one thousand messages that were sent to the 873 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 7: legislature and Governor Newsom. And just today, the California Legislature 874 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 7: is expected to vote on a two point five billion 875 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 7: dollar aid package as initial funding to jumpstart recovery efforts. 876 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 7: I'd say AMAC members in California had their voices heard. 877 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: That's a tsunami and that has impact.
