Welcome everybody to The Buck 4 00:00:21,537 --> 00:00:28,537 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. On this episode, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, which 5 00:00:28,617 --> 00:00:30,217 Speaker 1: is so fun to say because I knew her when 6 00:00:30,257 --> 00:00:33,657 Speaker 1: she was just Anna Paulina, a friend of mine for years, 7 00:00:33,857 --> 00:00:37,457 Speaker 1: and now she is a member of United States Congress. 8 00:00:37,497 --> 00:00:41,057 Speaker 1: She's also a veteran and somebody who's got a whole 9 00:00:41,297 --> 00:00:43,857 Speaker 1: range of things to talk to us about today, Anna Paulina, 10 00:00:44,297 --> 00:00:47,217 Speaker 1: Great to have you on the program, very exciting, very 11 00:00:47,217 --> 00:00:49,817 Speaker 1: happy to be back. Buck. So I don't want to 12 00:00:49,857 --> 00:00:51,617 Speaker 1: start with this. There's a lot of big issues. We 13 00:00:51,657 --> 00:00:54,297 Speaker 1: got to save America. It's keeping me busy, keeping you 14 00:00:54,337 --> 00:00:57,097 Speaker 1: busy different ways, but we're rowing the boat in the 15 00:00:57,137 --> 00:01:02,177 Speaker 1: same directions. How's being in Congress? You know, this is 16 00:01:02,177 --> 00:01:04,177 Speaker 1: funny because really you're like a peer of mine that 17 00:01:04,217 --> 00:01:06,537 Speaker 1: I knew outside. And there were a whole bunch of 18 00:01:06,537 --> 00:01:08,657 Speaker 1: friends of mine who ran in this last cycle. By 19 00:01:08,657 --> 00:01:09,897 Speaker 1: the way, you were one. I think I had about 20 00:01:09,897 --> 00:01:13,017 Speaker 1: say or seven friends running for Congress. You're the only 21 00:01:13,097 --> 00:01:17,097 Speaker 1: one who won, So thank you. Well done, and what's 22 00:01:17,097 --> 00:01:21,377 Speaker 1: it like. It's been a pretty crazy learning experience. What 23 00:01:21,577 --> 00:01:23,897 Speaker 1: I keep what really blows my mind is how time 24 00:01:23,937 --> 00:01:26,857 Speaker 1: works in Washington. So I've only been in for a 25 00:01:26,897 --> 00:01:29,497 Speaker 1: little over two months now, maybe going on three months, 26 00:01:29,857 --> 00:01:31,897 Speaker 1: But the craziest thing is that I feel like I've 27 00:01:31,937 --> 00:01:33,937 Speaker 1: already been there for like ten years. And then when 28 00:01:33,937 --> 00:01:36,777 Speaker 1: I go up to Washington, you know, you live your 29 00:01:36,817 --> 00:01:39,777 Speaker 1: life in fifteen minute increments, whether it's meetings, whether it's 30 00:01:39,857 --> 00:01:43,457 Speaker 1: running in between committees, hearings, testifying, all of that, and 31 00:01:43,497 --> 00:01:46,537 Speaker 1: so it's a huge learning curve. But really everything that 32 00:01:46,657 --> 00:01:49,537 Speaker 1: I thought going into this, you know, one of my 33 00:01:49,617 --> 00:01:52,337 Speaker 1: biggest goals for why I wanted to run is I 34 00:01:52,377 --> 00:01:55,097 Speaker 1: really wanted to help change the national discussion on issues 35 00:01:55,097 --> 00:01:57,857 Speaker 1: and how to fix these problems. And as a member 36 00:01:57,857 --> 00:02:00,617 Speaker 1: of Congress, you know, my hunch was correct. Now when 37 00:02:00,617 --> 00:02:03,497 Speaker 1: I send out press releases, when I'm debating on the 38 00:02:03,497 --> 00:02:05,977 Speaker 1: House floor, when I'm talking in committee, the press picks 39 00:02:06,057 --> 00:02:07,857 Speaker 1: up on that, and it really does contribute to not 40 00:02:07,897 --> 00:02:10,857 Speaker 1: only educating the American people, but also just solving some 41 00:02:10,897 --> 00:02:13,777 Speaker 1: of these problems. So it's been a really rewarding experience. 42 00:02:13,777 --> 00:02:15,897 Speaker 1: It's a ton of work, I definitely am not going 43 00:02:15,977 --> 00:02:18,697 Speaker 1: to be doing it forever, but I don't ever anticipate 44 00:02:19,137 --> 00:02:20,657 Speaker 1: or take it for granted that I'm just going to 45 00:02:20,697 --> 00:02:23,177 Speaker 1: get reelected. So I'm making account while I'm there, and 46 00:02:23,217 --> 00:02:26,937 Speaker 1: I'm very honored to represent Florida's thirteenth Congressional district. So, no, 47 00:02:27,057 --> 00:02:32,137 Speaker 1: what do people who were paying very close attention to 48 00:02:32,217 --> 00:02:34,617 Speaker 1: the Rebels? I don't know if you guys ever had 49 00:02:34,657 --> 00:02:40,097 Speaker 1: an official an official name, but the rebels pretty good, right, 50 00:02:40,217 --> 00:02:42,937 Speaker 1: you know, insurgence makes people think of something else, so 51 00:02:42,977 --> 00:02:46,177 Speaker 1: I think Rebels is probably pretty pretty good. But you 52 00:02:46,177 --> 00:02:49,697 Speaker 1: guys didn't just go along with the McCarthy speakership. You 53 00:02:50,057 --> 00:02:52,217 Speaker 1: there was wrangling for a few days. I remember saying. 54 00:02:52,257 --> 00:02:53,737 Speaker 1: I was like, Yeah, isn't this what is supposed to 55 00:02:53,737 --> 00:02:56,497 Speaker 1: happen in Congress? What do people need to know about? 56 00:02:56,537 --> 00:02:59,217 Speaker 1: What really came out of that? What happened? So there 57 00:02:59,297 --> 00:03:03,857 Speaker 1: was the speakers fight, McCarthy became the speaker, but some stuff, 58 00:03:03,897 --> 00:03:07,137 Speaker 1: some concessions were made. What do people need to know? Well, 59 00:03:07,137 --> 00:03:10,057 Speaker 1: all so some of the biggest concessions were actually already 60 00:03:10,217 --> 00:03:12,457 Speaker 1: seeing it play out. And really this was when I 61 00:03:12,497 --> 00:03:15,217 Speaker 1: tell people, it's like, if you have an argument with 62 00:03:15,297 --> 00:03:17,497 Speaker 1: your brother or sister, right, like, sometimes it's really good 63 00:03:17,537 --> 00:03:19,577 Speaker 1: to just clear the air. You guys, come to an agreement, 64 00:03:19,817 --> 00:03:22,217 Speaker 1: and then you move forward. And as a result of that, 65 00:03:22,297 --> 00:03:25,177 Speaker 1: I mean, not only did other members in our Republican 66 00:03:25,217 --> 00:03:29,217 Speaker 1: delegation actually see what we were negotiating, and actually during 67 00:03:29,257 --> 00:03:32,577 Speaker 1: that entire time, through all fifteen rounds, we're pulling us 68 00:03:32,617 --> 00:03:35,297 Speaker 1: aside and saying like, look, we really appreciate what you're doing, 69 00:03:35,817 --> 00:03:37,657 Speaker 1: we support it. We don't really want to say anything 70 00:03:37,697 --> 00:03:41,937 Speaker 1: because we don't want to get in trouble necessarily, But ultimately, 71 00:03:41,977 --> 00:03:45,177 Speaker 1: as a result of that, the entire conference feels a 72 00:03:45,217 --> 00:03:47,937 Speaker 1: lot more united. But one of the biggest things that 73 00:03:47,977 --> 00:03:50,857 Speaker 1: we did was we set the bar and negotiating platform 74 00:03:50,937 --> 00:03:52,737 Speaker 1: for whether or not we were going to be raising 75 00:03:52,737 --> 00:03:56,097 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling. We set the terms and conditions for 76 00:03:56,217 --> 00:03:59,617 Speaker 1: ultimately getting rid of the consolidation of power that existed 77 00:03:59,617 --> 00:04:02,617 Speaker 1: in the House. So under Nancy Pelosi, she got rid 78 00:04:02,657 --> 00:04:05,857 Speaker 1: of an accountability mechanism called the motion to vacate the chair, 79 00:04:06,217 --> 00:04:08,177 Speaker 1: which means that if you have a Speaker of the 80 00:04:08,217 --> 00:04:10,497 Speaker 1: House and they go back on their promise to the 81 00:04:10,577 --> 00:04:13,857 Speaker 1: delegation and to the American people, on what their goals 82 00:04:13,897 --> 00:04:16,737 Speaker 1: and objectives are for the country. You can actually do 83 00:04:16,817 --> 00:04:19,497 Speaker 1: something called vacating the chair. And it was actually put 84 00:04:19,497 --> 00:04:22,297 Speaker 1: in place by Thomas Jefferson, which stood for over two 85 00:04:22,377 --> 00:04:25,377 Speaker 1: hundred years. And of course Pelosi got the gabble and 86 00:04:25,457 --> 00:04:29,617 Speaker 1: she basically ran it like she was basically the Supreme Chancellor. 87 00:04:29,657 --> 00:04:33,097 Speaker 1: I mean, there was no voices for the representatives. We 88 00:04:33,137 --> 00:04:35,937 Speaker 1: couldn't bring amendments to the floor. You had the Rules 89 00:04:35,977 --> 00:04:38,577 Speaker 1: Committee that a lot of people might not realize, but 90 00:04:38,617 --> 00:04:41,497 Speaker 1: it's a small group of elected representatives. A lot of 91 00:04:41,497 --> 00:04:44,097 Speaker 1: them were moderates. And so when people want to know, 92 00:04:44,257 --> 00:04:46,697 Speaker 1: you know, why was it in twenty sixteen when President 93 00:04:46,737 --> 00:04:50,577 Speaker 1: Trump had the White House, the Congress, and Senate, why 94 00:04:50,577 --> 00:04:53,457 Speaker 1: couldn't he pass certain legislation. Well, it's because the Rules 95 00:04:53,497 --> 00:04:57,297 Speaker 1: Committee killed that legislation. And so we actually fought to 96 00:04:57,377 --> 00:05:01,777 Speaker 1: get conservatives people that actually have, in my opinion, being 97 00:05:01,817 --> 00:05:05,377 Speaker 1: a conservative, better approaches not just to fiscal responsibility, but 98 00:05:05,417 --> 00:05:08,777 Speaker 1: also to to backing the constitution. Get these conservatives in 99 00:05:08,897 --> 00:05:11,017 Speaker 1: positions where they can have a voice, whether it is 100 00:05:11,057 --> 00:05:13,857 Speaker 1: on appropriation with the budget plan, whether it is on 101 00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:15,857 Speaker 1: the rules Committee, so that we can bring rules to 102 00:05:15,857 --> 00:05:18,417 Speaker 1: the floor. And then obviously one of my favorite is 103 00:05:18,457 --> 00:05:21,537 Speaker 1: I ran on term limits, and we actually have an 104 00:05:21,577 --> 00:05:23,937 Speaker 1: agreement to bring a bill to the floor to vote 105 00:05:23,977 --> 00:05:25,537 Speaker 1: on whether or not we were going to pass term 106 00:05:25,577 --> 00:05:27,137 Speaker 1: limits in the House. And so you will be able 107 00:05:27,177 --> 00:05:30,457 Speaker 1: to see exactly what members of Congress are for and 108 00:05:30,537 --> 00:05:32,497 Speaker 1: against term limits, which is something we really need in 109 00:05:32,497 --> 00:05:37,257 Speaker 1: this country. The dead ceiling fight that looms, is it 110 00:05:37,417 --> 00:05:39,777 Speaker 1: going to be a real fight? And do you think 111 00:05:39,817 --> 00:05:43,137 Speaker 1: we could actually get something out of it? Yeah, we 112 00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:45,017 Speaker 1: will be getting something out of it. And I say 113 00:05:45,057 --> 00:05:48,057 Speaker 1: that I was actually just at an event with Representative 114 00:05:48,137 --> 00:05:51,457 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan and Chairman Scott Perry of the Freedom Caucus 115 00:05:51,897 --> 00:05:55,337 Speaker 1: and we actually, as a Freedom Caucus adopted an official 116 00:05:55,377 --> 00:05:58,057 Speaker 1: position and put it out for everyone to see. So 117 00:05:58,097 --> 00:05:59,537 Speaker 1: if you really want to look into that, you can 118 00:05:59,537 --> 00:06:01,817 Speaker 1: head over to the Freedom Caucus website and check it out. 119 00:06:02,137 --> 00:06:05,337 Speaker 1: And not even two hours after we did that press conference, 120 00:06:05,417 --> 00:06:08,937 Speaker 1: you had the Biden White House saying that MAGA extremists 121 00:06:08,977 --> 00:06:11,937 Speaker 1: were basically trying to shut down the country, which is 122 00:06:11,977 --> 00:06:14,657 Speaker 1: not true. All we're simply saying is we're not going 123 00:06:14,697 --> 00:06:17,697 Speaker 1: to continue down this path of reckless spending. We you know, 124 00:06:17,737 --> 00:06:19,857 Speaker 1: the Biden budget, which he's not going to get, by 125 00:06:19,897 --> 00:06:22,977 Speaker 1: the way, wanted to increase by trillions of dollars. And 126 00:06:23,017 --> 00:06:25,297 Speaker 1: we're saying, hey, COVID is no more. Why are we 127 00:06:25,417 --> 00:06:29,377 Speaker 1: still operating in pandemic level spendings when it's been declared 128 00:06:29,497 --> 00:06:32,057 Speaker 1: not even a national emergency anymore. So we're going to 129 00:06:32,137 --> 00:06:33,977 Speaker 1: go back to or attempt to go back to twenty 130 00:06:34,057 --> 00:06:36,857 Speaker 1: nineteen fiscal spending, and then we are going to do 131 00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:39,977 Speaker 1: something called recisions, which is a mechanism that Congress has 132 00:06:40,337 --> 00:06:42,617 Speaker 1: to actually claw back some of the money that was 133 00:06:42,657 --> 00:06:44,737 Speaker 1: already allocated to be spent for a lot of these 134 00:06:44,777 --> 00:06:47,937 Speaker 1: woke programs, and we're actually going to bring that back. So, like, 135 00:06:48,017 --> 00:06:50,617 Speaker 1: even if we don't raise the debt ceiling and just 136 00:06:50,737 --> 00:06:53,857 Speaker 1: operate as is, what ends up happening is that's gonna 137 00:06:53,857 --> 00:06:56,057 Speaker 1: be the first time and I'd say over a decade 138 00:06:56,057 --> 00:06:58,577 Speaker 1: that we haven't raised the debt ceiling, and in my opinion, 139 00:06:58,577 --> 00:07:01,737 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be raising it. You know, at some point 140 00:07:01,857 --> 00:07:03,537 Speaker 1: someone's going to have to pay for this. And I 141 00:07:03,577 --> 00:07:06,257 Speaker 1: hate to bring up what happened with SVB Bank, but 142 00:07:06,457 --> 00:07:08,337 Speaker 1: that's a bailout. You know, a lot of people don't 143 00:07:08,337 --> 00:07:10,377 Speaker 1: want to call it that, but it is and we're 144 00:07:10,377 --> 00:07:12,817 Speaker 1: going to be the ones paying for it. So conservatives 145 00:07:12,817 --> 00:07:15,017 Speaker 1: are being branded as you know, kind of the leper, 146 00:07:15,497 --> 00:07:18,417 Speaker 1: the lepers in Washington because we don't want to, you know, 147 00:07:18,537 --> 00:07:21,297 Speaker 1: just cave roll over and say we'll deal with it later. 148 00:07:21,337 --> 00:07:22,737 Speaker 1: We're going to handle it now. And I think that 149 00:07:22,777 --> 00:07:25,737 Speaker 1: we'll actually get something done this cycle. So remember we 150 00:07:25,777 --> 00:07:27,977 Speaker 1: have those twenty names, and those twenty names aren't playing, 151 00:07:29,457 --> 00:07:32,017 Speaker 1: you know, you, Chip Roy Massey. I mean, some of 152 00:07:32,057 --> 00:07:36,217 Speaker 1: the names that have been involved so far, it makes 153 00:07:36,257 --> 00:07:37,657 Speaker 1: me think these are people who are going to see 154 00:07:37,697 --> 00:07:41,497 Speaker 1: this through. Yes, and yeah, I think I think that's 155 00:07:41,497 --> 00:07:44,057 Speaker 1: one lesson that people should take from all this. But 156 00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:47,137 Speaker 1: what does victory in a debt ceiling fight look given 157 00:07:47,137 --> 00:07:52,097 Speaker 1: the realities of where we are, you know, politically, what 158 00:07:52,177 --> 00:07:54,537 Speaker 1: does victory in the debt ceiling fight this year look like? 159 00:07:54,617 --> 00:07:57,497 Speaker 1: Meaning best possible? I'm not saying what will happen? What 160 00:07:57,657 --> 00:08:02,617 Speaker 1: is best possible scenario? From a conservative perspective, I'd say 161 00:08:02,657 --> 00:08:05,737 Speaker 1: best possible is, if possible, not raising the debt ceiling, 162 00:08:05,897 --> 00:08:09,177 Speaker 1: going back to pre pandemic level spending, and then recisions. 163 00:08:10,097 --> 00:08:13,697 Speaker 1: Visions are important because when you have the administration and 164 00:08:13,817 --> 00:08:16,857 Speaker 1: really what they did with the Omnibus, which let's be clear, 165 00:08:16,897 --> 00:08:18,857 Speaker 1: that was completely wrong. They should have not done that, 166 00:08:19,297 --> 00:08:22,017 Speaker 1: and really we were stabbed in literally not even the back, 167 00:08:22,017 --> 00:08:24,737 Speaker 1: but in the front by you know, Mitch McConnell in 168 00:08:24,777 --> 00:08:26,497 Speaker 1: regards to that, But with a lot of what we're 169 00:08:26,497 --> 00:08:29,137 Speaker 1: seeing happening is, you know, we need to be able 170 00:08:29,177 --> 00:08:31,737 Speaker 1: to take that back and a lot of these programs. 171 00:08:31,737 --> 00:08:33,897 Speaker 1: You have pots of money that are basically sitting in 172 00:08:33,937 --> 00:08:36,817 Speaker 1: different programs, different places around the country that are untouched, 173 00:08:37,257 --> 00:08:40,697 Speaker 1: and yet you have different entities of the federal government 174 00:08:40,737 --> 00:08:42,577 Speaker 1: that are saying that they can't operate if we don't 175 00:08:42,577 --> 00:08:46,377 Speaker 1: continue to raise it, when again, we're out of a pandemic. 176 00:08:46,457 --> 00:08:49,577 Speaker 1: So we need to seriously look at this. I frankly 177 00:08:49,617 --> 00:08:51,497 Speaker 1: don't care if people don't like me for saying this, 178 00:08:51,577 --> 00:08:55,137 Speaker 1: but like you would never operate your own bank account 179 00:08:55,177 --> 00:08:57,937 Speaker 1: the way that some of these representatives operate the federal 180 00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,657 Speaker 1: government's budget, and so I think that that's important to 181 00:09:00,737 --> 00:09:03,217 Speaker 1: note that you have people up there that are basically 182 00:09:03,297 --> 00:09:05,737 Speaker 1: spending I don't know if they don't realize that if 183 00:09:05,737 --> 00:09:08,217 Speaker 1: you spend recklessly, it leads to inflation and it's going 184 00:09:08,257 --> 00:09:11,017 Speaker 1: to tank our country. But every single you know, major 185 00:09:11,097 --> 00:09:14,137 Speaker 1: empire has failed because of what we're seeing happening now, 186 00:09:14,217 --> 00:09:16,177 Speaker 1: and so it would be stupid to continue down the 187 00:09:16,217 --> 00:09:18,537 Speaker 1: same path of doing the same thing over and over again. 188 00:09:19,737 --> 00:09:21,617 Speaker 1: And I want to ask me come back in a second. 189 00:09:21,657 --> 00:09:23,217 Speaker 1: I've just got to have a word from our sponsor, 190 00:09:23,297 --> 00:09:25,417 Speaker 1: but I want to ask you, what are some of 191 00:09:25,417 --> 00:09:29,417 Speaker 1: the things that conservative colleagues in Congress are considering down 192 00:09:29,457 --> 00:09:33,537 Speaker 1: the road that you think are transformative, really important ideas 193 00:09:33,577 --> 00:09:36,337 Speaker 1: that Look, we know Biden the Senate, it's not going 194 00:09:36,377 --> 00:09:38,257 Speaker 1: to happen now, but twenty twenty four is going to 195 00:09:38,337 --> 00:09:39,657 Speaker 1: be here soon. So I just wanted to put that 196 00:09:39,697 --> 00:09:41,937 Speaker 1: thought out there as to what are some things that 197 00:09:41,977 --> 00:09:46,057 Speaker 1: you think could be achieved if we have the kind 198 00:09:46,097 --> 00:09:48,257 Speaker 1: of victory in twenty twenty four that I do think 199 00:09:48,337 --> 00:09:50,257 Speaker 1: is possible, especially if we go into a recession, which 200 00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:52,697 Speaker 1: I also think is more than possible. I think it's likely, 201 00:09:53,497 --> 00:09:54,977 Speaker 1: but we'll get to that in a second. Just talking 202 00:09:54,977 --> 00:09:57,617 Speaker 1: about recession, the bank failures we've seen are the largest 203 00:09:57,657 --> 00:10:00,577 Speaker 1: since the collapse of a financial institution known as Lehman 204 00:10:00,617 --> 00:10:02,617 Speaker 1: Brothers back in two thousand and eight. So if you've 205 00:10:02,657 --> 00:10:05,057 Speaker 1: been on the fence about buying gold then silver. Now 206 00:10:05,177 --> 00:10:07,217 Speaker 1: is the time to make the call.

But you know, it's just because valuable things 229 00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:14,457 Speaker 1: go together, and I think my gold bars are very valuable, 230 00:11:14,497 --> 00:11:18,097 Speaker 1: as I do think it's also valuable protect yourself and 231 00:11:18,337 --> 00:11:20,977 Speaker 1: enjoy your secondment rights. So anyway, they're behind me. People 232 00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:22,697 Speaker 1: on video can't see them right now, they're kind of 233 00:11:22,697 --> 00:11:27,297 Speaker 1: off to the side. So best things that Congress could do, 234 00:11:27,457 --> 00:11:29,657 Speaker 1: like the kind of things that they should be saying 235 00:11:29,697 --> 00:11:32,657 Speaker 1: they will do if all goes according to plan for 236 00:11:32,697 --> 00:11:34,617 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, what are they give me one or two? 237 00:11:35,977 --> 00:11:39,057 Speaker 1: Number one that's very realistic that we're already starting to 238 00:11:39,097 --> 00:11:42,817 Speaker 1: see movement on is decoupling from China. So I'll give 239 00:11:42,817 --> 00:11:45,977 Speaker 1: you an example. We basically one of the committees that 240 00:11:46,017 --> 00:11:48,657 Speaker 1: I'm on, I'm on Oversight, which conducts the investigations, and 241 00:11:48,697 --> 00:11:51,457 Speaker 1: then Natural Resources, which handles a lot of our American 242 00:11:51,537 --> 00:11:54,137 Speaker 1: energy independence and the natural resources here in this country. 243 00:11:54,417 --> 00:11:57,057 Speaker 1: But you know, we passed an amendment to really prevent 244 00:11:57,257 --> 00:12:01,457 Speaker 1: any company that is engaged in illegal mining operations or 245 00:12:01,537 --> 00:12:03,817 Speaker 1: human rights abuses and other parts of the world to 246 00:12:03,937 --> 00:12:05,777 Speaker 1: actually be able to mine here in the United States. 247 00:12:05,777 --> 00:12:07,817 Speaker 1: So China has a lot of these companies and then 248 00:12:07,857 --> 00:12:10,537 Speaker 1: they work with American based companies, and yet, for example, 249 00:12:10,777 --> 00:12:14,497 Speaker 1: their cobalt minds in the Congo, you actually have young 250 00:12:14,657 --> 00:12:18,337 Speaker 1: people that sometimes young is two years old up to seventeen, 251 00:12:18,337 --> 00:12:21,337 Speaker 1: that they're drugging, starving, and basically operating slave minds. And 252 00:12:21,377 --> 00:12:22,937 Speaker 1: then we buy it here and consume that here in 253 00:12:22,937 --> 00:12:25,857 Speaker 1: the United States. So I think from a humanitarian perspective 254 00:12:25,937 --> 00:12:30,937 Speaker 1: and American abundance for energy, really allowing that that angle 255 00:12:30,977 --> 00:12:33,097 Speaker 1: to operate here at home is the best right. Even 256 00:12:33,097 --> 00:12:35,297 Speaker 1: if you look at it from a climate change perspective, 257 00:12:35,777 --> 00:12:38,337 Speaker 1: China is destroying the environment, and so I've actually gotten 258 00:12:38,337 --> 00:12:41,697 Speaker 1: to a few of these debates on natural resources. Even 259 00:12:41,777 --> 00:12:44,177 Speaker 1: if you're talking from that perspective. Let's say you believe 260 00:12:44,177 --> 00:12:46,977 Speaker 1: in climate change, will China's destroy the environment? So why 261 00:12:46,977 --> 00:12:49,017 Speaker 1: wouldn't we do it here at home? And So I 262 00:12:49,057 --> 00:12:53,017 Speaker 1: think that d couple, whether it's from a production perspective 263 00:12:53,577 --> 00:12:56,417 Speaker 1: or from just a human rights perspective, I think that 264 00:12:56,417 --> 00:12:58,697 Speaker 1: that's going to start to happen. And then my number 265 00:12:58,697 --> 00:13:00,897 Speaker 1: one thing that I've been talking about for years and 266 00:13:00,937 --> 00:13:03,737 Speaker 1: I still think is probably single handedly the most important 267 00:13:03,777 --> 00:13:06,377 Speaker 1: thing that we can do as a country is really 268 00:13:06,417 --> 00:13:08,977 Speaker 1: to break up big tech and so as I'm sure 269 00:13:09,017 --> 00:13:11,737 Speaker 1: you saw with that oversight hearing where I had Yo 270 00:13:11,817 --> 00:13:14,737 Speaker 1: Roth from Twitter in there and we were questioning them 271 00:13:14,737 --> 00:13:18,057 Speaker 1: about Tierra and how they were illegally coordinating with the 272 00:13:18,097 --> 00:13:21,457 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security and some of these outside organizations 273 00:13:21,457 --> 00:13:25,177 Speaker 1: to censor the American people. You know that should never happen, 274 00:13:25,297 --> 00:13:28,577 Speaker 1: But realize that these companies, being as powerful as they are, 275 00:13:28,857 --> 00:13:31,417 Speaker 1: they are still actively engaged in suppression and they are 276 00:13:31,457 --> 00:13:35,297 Speaker 1: really tilting the balance in regards to some of these elections, 277 00:13:35,377 --> 00:13:38,297 Speaker 1: even with information just for presidential cycles. And so we 278 00:13:38,337 --> 00:13:41,017 Speaker 1: have to break that up. That's kind of our new fight. 279 00:13:41,097 --> 00:13:43,897 Speaker 1: That's going to be our generation's version of the Alama. 280 00:13:44,017 --> 00:13:48,177 Speaker 1: And so I'm peer for it. I'm leading it. I 281 00:13:48,217 --> 00:13:50,817 Speaker 1: think right you're yelling, yelling for the rampart, You're you're 282 00:13:50,857 --> 00:13:52,817 Speaker 1: throwing down over this. You're not You're not just on it. 283 00:13:53,057 --> 00:13:57,017 Speaker 1: You're not just president you are you are storming the barricades. Um. 284 00:13:58,097 --> 00:14:01,017 Speaker 1: I actually want to ask you also about because you mentioned, 285 00:14:01,057 --> 00:14:04,497 Speaker 1: you know, China and foreign influence and all the rest 286 00:14:04,497 --> 00:14:09,737 Speaker 1: of it, does anything actually happen to any of the 287 00:14:09,817 --> 00:14:13,697 Speaker 1: Buyiden family members with all the CCP money that's come 288 00:14:13,737 --> 00:14:18,417 Speaker 1: in all the kami cash from Beijing that's been floated 289 00:14:18,457 --> 00:14:21,217 Speaker 1: into the coffers of the Biden family. Do you think 290 00:14:21,217 --> 00:14:26,697 Speaker 1: anything really happens. You're on House oversight. So we last 291 00:14:26,737 --> 00:14:29,777 Speaker 1: week we just received information in regards to know this 292 00:14:29,897 --> 00:14:31,537 Speaker 1: is from the Treasury, so it's not just from a 293 00:14:31,657 --> 00:14:35,497 Speaker 1: random sources, from the actual treasury that showed that the 294 00:14:35,577 --> 00:14:39,497 Speaker 1: Biden and the Biden family was receiving wire transfers from 295 00:14:39,537 --> 00:14:42,657 Speaker 1: the CCP into the millions of dollars within months of 296 00:14:42,737 --> 00:14:45,537 Speaker 1: him leaving office as Vice president. And then from the 297 00:14:45,537 --> 00:14:50,697 Speaker 1: administration's perspective, we see this massive soft on China approach 298 00:14:50,777 --> 00:14:54,737 Speaker 1: where they are literally coddling the CCP. So you cannot 299 00:14:54,737 --> 00:14:58,817 Speaker 1: tell me that this administration, that this president is not compromised. 300 00:14:59,177 --> 00:15:03,577 Speaker 1: But in my opinion, the Justice Department is compromised. And 301 00:15:03,617 --> 00:15:06,577 Speaker 1: so what ends up happening is where they would typically 302 00:15:06,657 --> 00:15:09,937 Speaker 1: bring investigations forward, where you would typically have that account 303 00:15:09,937 --> 00:15:13,737 Speaker 1: of accountability mechanism. Right now, I don't think that that 304 00:15:13,817 --> 00:15:16,577 Speaker 1: really exists. Like if that was like that was me, 305 00:15:16,817 --> 00:15:20,177 Speaker 1: for example, and my husband was receiving wire transfers from 306 00:15:20,177 --> 00:15:22,577 Speaker 1: the CCP, like I'd probably be in jail. I wouldn't 307 00:15:22,577 --> 00:15:25,537 Speaker 1: be able to hold office, and so the fact is 308 00:15:25,537 --> 00:15:28,617 Speaker 1: is that it's wrong what's happening. We have something that 309 00:15:28,657 --> 00:15:32,577 Speaker 1: we also negotiated in the speakers debate known as the 310 00:15:32,617 --> 00:15:35,937 Speaker 1: hallam And Rule, and that can defund any federal position 311 00:15:36,417 --> 00:15:38,817 Speaker 1: and basically remove the job. We actually put it in 312 00:15:38,817 --> 00:15:41,497 Speaker 1: place because of what happened with doctor Fauci and the 313 00:15:41,537 --> 00:15:44,417 Speaker 1: fact that he was obviously not working in the best 314 00:15:44,497 --> 00:15:47,377 Speaker 1: interests of the American people during Code or Response. But 315 00:15:47,577 --> 00:15:49,897 Speaker 1: I believe that we can use that position as well 316 00:15:49,977 --> 00:15:52,217 Speaker 1: for you know, the DJ if they're not going to 317 00:15:52,297 --> 00:15:55,137 Speaker 1: do their jobs, and these people that are corrupt, why 318 00:15:55,177 --> 00:15:57,857 Speaker 1: should we be paying them. That's kind of that accountability 319 00:15:57,897 --> 00:16:00,737 Speaker 1: mechanism that Congress has. We have the purse strings, right, 320 00:16:00,777 --> 00:16:02,817 Speaker 1: and so that's what we're going to try to use. 321 00:16:02,897 --> 00:16:06,697 Speaker 1: But it's really upsetting sometimes, especially as a member of Congress, 322 00:16:06,737 --> 00:16:11,257 Speaker 1: because you realize that as a Republican, as a conservative, 323 00:16:11,817 --> 00:16:15,057 Speaker 1: even when we take back the White House and the Senate, 324 00:16:15,497 --> 00:16:19,897 Speaker 1: that the corruption and bureaucracy in Washington, DC, it's there. 325 00:16:19,937 --> 00:16:22,577 Speaker 1: And that's why I encourage people if you are looking 326 00:16:22,577 --> 00:16:24,977 Speaker 1: to get involved in politics, if you're really just tired 327 00:16:24,977 --> 00:16:28,657 Speaker 1: of seeing what's happening get go to DC, like, be 328 00:16:28,777 --> 00:16:32,057 Speaker 1: the new blood that we need there because people get 329 00:16:32,177 --> 00:16:35,657 Speaker 1: entrenched and really a member, you know, whether you're in Senate, 330 00:16:35,657 --> 00:16:38,897 Speaker 1: whether you're in Congress, even a president, it's still a term. 331 00:16:38,937 --> 00:16:41,137 Speaker 1: You have to get reelected. But these bureaucrats stay there 332 00:16:41,177 --> 00:16:43,457 Speaker 1: for decades and so they're the ones that have the 333 00:16:43,497 --> 00:16:46,177 Speaker 1: consolidation of power that I think are responsible for. This 334 00:16:47,057 --> 00:16:52,417 Speaker 1: is the swamp drainable. It is, but it's going to 335 00:16:52,497 --> 00:16:55,417 Speaker 1: take more people getting involved. You know, a lot of 336 00:16:55,417 --> 00:16:56,977 Speaker 1: people say, well, I'm going to do it by running 337 00:16:57,017 --> 00:16:59,377 Speaker 1: for Congress. I'm gonna do it by running for a Senate. 338 00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:02,297 Speaker 1: That is only one part. We actually have to have 339 00:17:02,457 --> 00:17:05,857 Speaker 1: good people up there that are pushing in new blood, 340 00:17:05,857 --> 00:17:07,817 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, and this is the one thing 341 00:17:07,857 --> 00:17:10,457 Speaker 1: I will say, whoever the next president is, which I've 342 00:17:10,457 --> 00:17:14,937 Speaker 1: already publicly pledge my support for President Trump, but either 343 00:17:15,017 --> 00:17:19,297 Speaker 1: which way, we need people from outside Washington to be 344 00:17:19,337 --> 00:17:23,017 Speaker 1: appointed to some of these positions because it has become 345 00:17:23,097 --> 00:17:26,057 Speaker 1: so bad up there right now that what ends up 346 00:17:26,137 --> 00:17:28,857 Speaker 1: happening is we might have ideas, right like, let's say 347 00:17:28,857 --> 00:17:30,617 Speaker 1: I go up there and I have this great idea 348 00:17:30,697 --> 00:17:35,737 Speaker 1: for you a car that doesn't emit any pollution. This 349 00:17:35,897 --> 00:17:38,417 Speaker 1: is just an example. Well, if you have someone up 350 00:17:38,417 --> 00:17:40,417 Speaker 1: there that doesn't like your idea, even if it's at 351 00:17:40,417 --> 00:17:42,497 Speaker 1: a lower level, they're going to kill that before it 352 00:17:42,617 --> 00:17:45,137 Speaker 1: even has a chance to survive. And that's ultimately what 353 00:17:45,177 --> 00:17:48,097 Speaker 1: we're seeing happening, not just from a policy perspective, but 354 00:17:48,257 --> 00:17:52,097 Speaker 1: from a justice perspective. And I believe that this country 355 00:17:52,257 --> 00:17:55,097 Speaker 1: is worth saving and we cannot continue down this path. 356 00:17:55,297 --> 00:17:59,057 Speaker 1: But what I have seen from an insider perspective now, 357 00:17:59,177 --> 00:18:01,097 Speaker 1: just in the last couple of months, has really opened 358 00:18:01,137 --> 00:18:02,977 Speaker 1: my eyes and shown me that we need a lot 359 00:18:03,017 --> 00:18:05,497 Speaker 1: more people, a lot more good people involved, because right 360 00:18:05,497 --> 00:18:07,577 Speaker 1: now we're really fighting with one hand behind our back. 361 00:18:07,977 --> 00:18:11,897 Speaker 1: And you brought it up that would you would vote 362 00:18:11,897 --> 00:18:14,057 Speaker 1: for Trump in this primary? So I want to come 363 00:18:14,057 --> 00:18:16,657 Speaker 1: back to I want to ask you why. I'm very curious. 364 00:18:16,697 --> 00:18:18,617 Speaker 1: I want to hear it. I think everybody else curies too, 365 00:18:18,857 --> 00:18:21,097 Speaker 1: So we'll come and I just just put that out there. 366 00:18:21,097 --> 00:18:22,897 Speaker 1: I want to know what your reasoning is. We'll come 367 00:18:22,897 --> 00:18:24,817 Speaker 1: back to that in a second, but first, The Tunne 368 00:18:24,817 --> 00:18:28,537 Speaker 1: of the Towers Foundation does such critical work honoring the 369 00:18:28,577 --> 00:18:31,937 Speaker 1: fallen and severely injured heroes of the Nine to eleven 370 00:18:31,937 --> 00:18:35,577 Speaker 1: era and beyond.

That's t the number two T dot org. 387 00:19:19,777 --> 00:19:24,537 Speaker 1: All right, Anna, So, first of all, your husband's Special 388 00:19:24,577 --> 00:19:27,137 Speaker 1: Forces veteran, and you yourself or an Air Force veteran. 389 00:19:27,697 --> 00:19:31,337 Speaker 1: So does it, ever, does it feel like we've moved 390 00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:34,577 Speaker 1: on a little bit too quickly here past what a 391 00:19:34,697 --> 00:19:36,457 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of our men and women in 392 00:19:36,577 --> 00:19:38,777 Speaker 1: uniform had to do to serve our country overseas. It 393 00:19:38,777 --> 00:19:40,377 Speaker 1: feels like we don't hear as much about it these 394 00:19:40,457 --> 00:19:44,937 Speaker 1: days now. In fact, this is again some i'd blowing 395 00:19:44,937 --> 00:19:48,497 Speaker 1: stuff I've actually witnessed as an insider now, is that 396 00:19:48,937 --> 00:19:52,497 Speaker 1: if you are a conservative and a Republican that that 397 00:19:52,577 --> 00:19:56,417 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. There is no respect level for serving your country. 398 00:19:56,497 --> 00:19:59,417 Speaker 1: And in fact, I'm actually conducting an investigation right now 399 00:19:59,457 --> 00:20:03,337 Speaker 1: with House Oversight looking into how it was that the 400 00:20:03,497 --> 00:20:07,897 Speaker 1: Air Force managed to release the private documents health information, 401 00:20:07,977 --> 00:20:12,457 Speaker 1: social security numbers, and entire unredacted service records of sitting 402 00:20:12,497 --> 00:20:15,097 Speaker 1: members of Congress as well as candidates that were running 403 00:20:15,097 --> 00:20:18,217 Speaker 1: for office in the twenty twenty two election cycle. And 404 00:20:18,297 --> 00:20:20,937 Speaker 1: so I figured that the Air Force would probably not 405 00:20:21,017 --> 00:20:23,417 Speaker 1: play ball, especially being that we have Lloyd Austin right 406 00:20:23,417 --> 00:20:26,217 Speaker 1: now that's in charge of everything. And so two days 407 00:20:26,257 --> 00:20:29,097 Speaker 1: after I sent my request to the Air Force, I 408 00:20:29,177 --> 00:20:33,497 Speaker 1: actually also decided to work with Judicial Watch Tafoya Information, 409 00:20:34,057 --> 00:20:36,697 Speaker 1: And of course last week we got a response from 410 00:20:36,697 --> 00:20:38,737 Speaker 1: the Air Force basically telling us to go pounce in 411 00:20:38,817 --> 00:20:41,657 Speaker 1: and that they would cooperate with our inquiry and so 412 00:20:41,937 --> 00:20:43,977 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, we're going to get the information anyways. 413 00:20:44,017 --> 00:20:46,817 Speaker 1: But there is a lack of respect for service in Washington, 414 00:20:46,897 --> 00:20:49,777 Speaker 1: and unless you're really a warhawk, I think that they 415 00:20:49,817 --> 00:20:52,417 Speaker 1: try to suppress your voice. And it's interesting because most 416 00:20:52,457 --> 00:20:55,297 Speaker 1: people that see war and long term inpucts of that, 417 00:20:55,337 --> 00:20:57,697 Speaker 1: I don't think that they would advocate for the way 418 00:20:57,697 --> 00:21:00,297 Speaker 1: that some of these people do in Washington, DC. And 419 00:21:00,377 --> 00:21:03,777 Speaker 1: so I actually recently got on board with Representative Gates 420 00:21:03,777 --> 00:21:06,417 Speaker 1: and a few others, and surprisingly a quarter of Congress 421 00:21:06,457 --> 00:21:09,857 Speaker 1: actually voted to actually withdraw from Syria. And so you 422 00:21:10,217 --> 00:21:13,177 Speaker 1: starting to see I think that be more of a 423 00:21:12,657 --> 00:21:16,177 Speaker 1: popular perspective and that we don't want endless wars, especially 424 00:21:16,177 --> 00:21:19,137 Speaker 1: in this generation and this Congress. But it's still going 425 00:21:19,177 --> 00:21:20,977 Speaker 1: to take a lot more people that I think have 426 00:21:21,537 --> 00:21:24,017 Speaker 1: the ability to have a voice and aren't afraid of 427 00:21:24,057 --> 00:21:28,657 Speaker 1: the military industrial complex. Somebody who's definitely not afraid of 428 00:21:28,697 --> 00:21:31,937 Speaker 1: the military industrial complex is former President Donald Trump. And 429 00:21:32,017 --> 00:21:34,697 Speaker 1: you have already said, you've said it here on the podcast, 430 00:21:35,297 --> 00:21:38,817 Speaker 1: that he is your guy. You'll support another Republican. If 431 00:21:38,817 --> 00:21:40,777 Speaker 1: the Republican is up against a Democrat, but he is 432 00:21:40,817 --> 00:21:44,177 Speaker 1: your guy for this twenty twenty four election from the 433 00:21:44,217 --> 00:21:49,737 Speaker 1: GOP side. Why you know, what I've learned as a 434 00:21:49,897 --> 00:21:52,897 Speaker 1: candidate running for office and now as a member is 435 00:21:52,937 --> 00:21:57,897 Speaker 1: that when people are worried about being elected again, sometimes 436 00:21:57,897 --> 00:22:02,137 Speaker 1: it ultimately prevents them from being as effective as they 437 00:22:02,137 --> 00:22:04,777 Speaker 1: could be if they weren't concerned about that. And I 438 00:22:04,817 --> 00:22:08,617 Speaker 1: feel like right now, from a international perspective, the United 439 00:22:08,657 --> 00:22:12,217 Speaker 1: States is not respected. We have a lot of stuff happening, 440 00:22:12,457 --> 00:22:15,777 Speaker 1: not just with our oil and gas industry, but from 441 00:22:15,777 --> 00:22:19,297 Speaker 1: a perspective of Russia is aligning with China, who's aligned 442 00:22:19,297 --> 00:22:22,017 Speaker 1: with Iran, and they don't respect us, and they don't 443 00:22:22,017 --> 00:22:25,417 Speaker 1: respect us because of our leadership. And I want someone 444 00:22:25,657 --> 00:22:28,817 Speaker 1: that from an economic and policy perspective, can run this 445 00:22:28,897 --> 00:22:31,057 Speaker 1: country how it should be run and get us back 446 00:22:31,097 --> 00:22:33,817 Speaker 1: to not only being a world superpower, but a world 447 00:22:33,857 --> 00:22:38,217 Speaker 1: superpower that's respected and that doesn't necessarily have World War 448 00:22:38,257 --> 00:22:40,297 Speaker 1: three knocking at our front door as it is right now. 449 00:22:40,337 --> 00:22:43,817 Speaker 1: And so when I look at the field of candidates 450 00:22:43,817 --> 00:22:46,857 Speaker 1: and I look at who can actually make those decisions, 451 00:22:47,217 --> 00:22:51,577 Speaker 1: who's unconcerned about seeking a second term in presidency. I 452 00:22:51,617 --> 00:22:55,377 Speaker 1: think that that's President Trump. Penny he's elected, he will 453 00:22:55,417 --> 00:22:58,737 Speaker 1: be probably one of the most effective presidents because of 454 00:22:58,777 --> 00:23:01,657 Speaker 1: the fact that he's not worried about that second term 455 00:23:01,697 --> 00:23:04,617 Speaker 1: in office. And I think that that's what we need 456 00:23:04,697 --> 00:23:06,497 Speaker 1: right now. And also too, I mean, I think it's 457 00:23:06,497 --> 00:23:10,297 Speaker 1: a pretty good, pretty good thing to say that when 458 00:23:10,337 --> 00:23:14,337 Speaker 1: you have the entire Washington establishment against you and you're 459 00:23:14,377 --> 00:23:17,137 Speaker 1: fighting for the American people, that's who I want representing me. 460 00:23:17,177 --> 00:23:19,497 Speaker 1: I don't want someone that's going to be basically bought 461 00:23:19,497 --> 00:23:22,977 Speaker 1: and paid for by special interests. And now something else. 462 00:23:23,017 --> 00:23:25,217 Speaker 1: I wanted to switch gears a little bit. I know 463 00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:28,817 Speaker 1: you have an interest you mentioned reigning in big tech, 464 00:23:28,537 --> 00:23:30,857 Speaker 1: which is which is essential. I keep telling people, if 465 00:23:30,897 --> 00:23:33,337 Speaker 1: big tech is able to collude with the federal government, 466 00:23:33,337 --> 00:23:36,137 Speaker 1: with the Democrat apparatus within the federal government and the 467 00:23:36,177 --> 00:23:39,617 Speaker 1: cabal at place like dj you can talk about you know, 468 00:23:39,657 --> 00:23:41,297 Speaker 1: mail in ballots and a lot of other things, but 469 00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:44,417 Speaker 1: we might lose anyway because the power that they have 470 00:23:44,537 --> 00:23:48,057 Speaker 1: to move the narrative and to create perception. There has 471 00:23:48,137 --> 00:23:50,537 Speaker 1: never been in the history of the planet a more 472 00:23:50,657 --> 00:23:54,577 Speaker 1: powerful propaganda machine than big tech. I think that's very clear. 473 00:23:55,777 --> 00:24:01,537 Speaker 1: But as I artificial intelligence may take this to another level. 474 00:24:02,177 --> 00:24:04,137 Speaker 1: And I wanted you to speak about what you see 475 00:24:04,177 --> 00:24:05,817 Speaker 1: on the horizon because I know you're looking at this 476 00:24:05,857 --> 00:24:09,377 Speaker 1: as a former member of the Air Force and as 477 00:24:09,377 --> 00:24:13,497 Speaker 1: the United States congressman right now, congresswoman by the way, 478 00:24:13,937 --> 00:24:16,337 Speaker 1: just quick question, qu quick question? Is that a thing 479 00:24:16,417 --> 00:24:19,377 Speaker 1: like are we supposed to say congressman congresswoman or do 480 00:24:19,377 --> 00:24:20,777 Speaker 1: people just say, I know, you can just be a 481 00:24:20,857 --> 00:24:23,377 Speaker 1: member of Congress, but are we supposed to gender or 482 00:24:23,657 --> 00:24:25,297 Speaker 1: is it like, you know, actor Now, I know it 483 00:24:25,377 --> 00:24:28,937 Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but you're not supposed to say actress. Everyone's 484 00:24:28,977 --> 00:24:31,257 Speaker 1: just an actor. They just use the term actor. They 485 00:24:31,297 --> 00:24:33,777 Speaker 1: don't want actress. So do we still we still go 486 00:24:33,817 --> 00:24:38,257 Speaker 1: with congressman congresswoman? Right? Who usually do? I usually actually 487 00:24:38,257 --> 00:24:41,977 Speaker 1: prefer representative just because I feel like it's more approachable, 488 00:24:42,057 --> 00:24:45,217 Speaker 1: like repolunas like usually what I respond to. But you know, 489 00:24:45,337 --> 00:24:47,537 Speaker 1: I'm really used to I think this is probably an 490 00:24:47,537 --> 00:24:48,977 Speaker 1: air force in me. When I was in the Air Force, 491 00:24:49,017 --> 00:24:51,257 Speaker 1: I just went by airmen, you know whatever, And so 492 00:24:52,017 --> 00:24:54,297 Speaker 1: when people call me congressman, I don't get offended or 493 00:24:54,337 --> 00:24:56,137 Speaker 1: you know, member of Congress, you know, I just I 494 00:24:56,177 --> 00:24:59,257 Speaker 1: respond to ases. But it is really interesting that a 495 00:24:59,337 --> 00:25:01,577 Speaker 1: lot of the people that use pronouns in Washington and 496 00:25:01,617 --> 00:25:05,497 Speaker 1: their you know, email bios still go by congresswoman. So yes, 497 00:25:05,777 --> 00:25:08,457 Speaker 1: it is interesting indeed. All right, so back to back 498 00:25:08,457 --> 00:25:12,217 Speaker 1: to this so big tech is the most effective propaganda 499 00:25:12,297 --> 00:25:16,377 Speaker 1: machine ever built. We agree on that AI may do 500 00:25:16,537 --> 00:25:20,057 Speaker 1: something even beyond what we've seen. What could that be? 501 00:25:21,457 --> 00:25:25,377 Speaker 1: AI is scary, you know, I've had this debate because 502 00:25:25,377 --> 00:25:28,777 Speaker 1: we actually just had a hearing with actually the founder 503 00:25:28,817 --> 00:25:31,457 Speaker 1: and engineer of Google came in and testified to one 504 00:25:31,457 --> 00:25:34,297 Speaker 1: of the subcommittees. An oversight that I'm on and what 505 00:25:34,457 --> 00:25:39,217 Speaker 1: scares me about AI is that it really has the 506 00:25:39,257 --> 00:25:44,217 Speaker 1: ability to make us obsolete. And what stops a machine 507 00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:47,777 Speaker 1: something that can't learn empathy, that doesn't really have the 508 00:25:47,937 --> 00:25:52,057 Speaker 1: human perspective, doesn't have a spirit, and cannot really truly 509 00:25:52,137 --> 00:25:55,377 Speaker 1: understand the spiritual aspect of like what is right and 510 00:25:55,417 --> 00:25:59,177 Speaker 1: what is wrong? From thinking that humans are basically a 511 00:25:59,217 --> 00:26:02,777 Speaker 1: parasite to Earth and destroying us all. And that's really 512 00:26:02,777 --> 00:26:05,897 Speaker 1: what I'm concerned about. You have countries like Iran, China, 513 00:26:06,017 --> 00:26:09,457 Speaker 1: Russia that could weaponize this or terrorists, let's say there's 514 00:26:09,457 --> 00:26:12,697 Speaker 1: crazy people out there, and so I think it can 515 00:26:12,737 --> 00:26:15,857 Speaker 1: be both good and bad. But it's definitely something that 516 00:26:16,017 --> 00:26:18,137 Speaker 1: I didn't want to have to deal with in my generation, 517 00:26:18,177 --> 00:26:20,257 Speaker 1: but I think that we're going to, and so I 518 00:26:20,257 --> 00:26:22,057 Speaker 1: think that we have to be very careful with it. 519 00:26:22,097 --> 00:26:25,097 Speaker 1: There's an aspect of national security that goes along with 520 00:26:25,097 --> 00:26:28,497 Speaker 1: it and an aspect of human survival that I think 521 00:26:28,537 --> 00:26:31,017 Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't mentioning, and so it's going 522 00:26:31,097 --> 00:26:32,737 Speaker 1: to be interesting to see how it plays out. But 523 00:26:32,817 --> 00:26:34,897 Speaker 1: AI will have the opera. It's really going to make 524 00:26:34,937 --> 00:26:38,457 Speaker 1: I think many jobs that we have that humans participate, 525 00:26:38,457 --> 00:26:41,657 Speaker 1: whether you're a doctor, whether you are a mathematician, whether 526 00:26:41,657 --> 00:26:44,817 Speaker 1: you're engineer, architect it it's going to make those jobs obsolete. 527 00:26:45,177 --> 00:26:48,377 Speaker 1: And so it'll be interesting to see how society changes 528 00:26:48,417 --> 00:26:51,817 Speaker 1: as a whole as we move forward with this evolution 529 00:26:51,897 --> 00:26:54,377 Speaker 1: of AI and how it's going to really, I think 530 00:26:54,417 --> 00:26:56,977 Speaker 1: impact US long term as a culture, not just from 531 00:26:57,057 --> 00:26:59,417 Speaker 1: the United States perspective, but I think from around the world. 532 00:26:59,977 --> 00:27:01,737 Speaker 1: I should have asked us when we're talking about the 533 00:27:02,337 --> 00:27:04,097 Speaker 1: big tech side of it, But just a circle back 534 00:27:04,097 --> 00:27:06,217 Speaker 1: to that before maybe I ask you another AI question. 535 00:27:06,857 --> 00:27:11,337 Speaker 1: TikTok should it be banned by the federal government and 536 00:27:11,337 --> 00:27:14,057 Speaker 1: then comma, where am I going to find out the 537 00:27:14,097 --> 00:27:16,817 Speaker 1: best way to see a wag you steak and meltwall 538 00:27:16,857 --> 00:27:19,657 Speaker 1: grow on top of it at the same time. So 539 00:27:19,857 --> 00:27:24,137 Speaker 1: I did. I did co sponsor a bill to actually 540 00:27:24,177 --> 00:27:26,937 Speaker 1: band TikTok, and I did that because TikTok is probably 541 00:27:26,977 --> 00:27:31,137 Speaker 1: the biggest intelligence gathering operation for the CCP. Not just that, 542 00:27:31,257 --> 00:27:33,897 Speaker 1: I mean it's literally brainwashing our kids. When you look 543 00:27:33,937 --> 00:27:36,377 Speaker 1: at actually what China is showing their youth on their 544 00:27:36,537 --> 00:27:39,537 Speaker 1: version of TikTok versus what they show our youth here, 545 00:27:39,617 --> 00:27:43,057 Speaker 1: I mean you have literally women twerking and you know, 546 00:27:43,297 --> 00:27:46,657 Speaker 1: not all of its steaks. But when you ask young 547 00:27:46,737 --> 00:27:48,857 Speaker 1: people what the number one job is they want to 548 00:27:48,897 --> 00:27:51,417 Speaker 1: have when they grow up, they say influencer. In China, 549 00:27:51,417 --> 00:27:54,257 Speaker 1: it's astronaut. And that's because of what they actually show 550 00:27:54,337 --> 00:27:57,857 Speaker 1: their people. Now, I'm not advocating for China censorship, because 551 00:27:57,857 --> 00:28:00,377 Speaker 1: that's what it is. But they have specifically engineered TikTok 552 00:28:00,817 --> 00:28:04,137 Speaker 1: to target young people with an effort to brainwash. And 553 00:28:04,177 --> 00:28:07,297 Speaker 1: then they also found that on TikTok they actually will 554 00:28:07,417 --> 00:28:13,097 Speaker 1: artificially inflate the algorithms of certain inciniary content to make 555 00:28:13,177 --> 00:28:17,337 Speaker 1: political parties fight. So you know, you have this app 556 00:28:17,617 --> 00:28:21,537 Speaker 1: that's gone viral, that's intentionally being used against the American people, 557 00:28:21,617 --> 00:28:24,137 Speaker 1: using our own First Amendment against us. And back to 558 00:28:24,217 --> 00:28:26,337 Speaker 1: what you said about writing in big tech and really 559 00:28:26,537 --> 00:28:30,297 Speaker 1: being a massive propaganda machine. I mean, you're absolutely right. 560 00:28:30,337 --> 00:28:32,137 Speaker 1: When they looked at you know a lot of people 561 00:28:32,177 --> 00:28:34,857 Speaker 1: were saying, oh, the mid terms weren't as successful, why 562 00:28:35,057 --> 00:28:37,617 Speaker 1: was it in there? You know, sideline quarterbacking. Everything that 563 00:28:37,697 --> 00:28:41,097 Speaker 1: happened one you had the maps aspects, so certain states 564 00:28:41,177 --> 00:28:44,337 Speaker 1: got obliterated by the activists attorneys that were set up 565 00:28:44,377 --> 00:28:46,537 Speaker 1: by some of these left leaning nonprofits to fight on 566 00:28:46,537 --> 00:28:52,417 Speaker 1: the constitutional redistricting. But then you had literally young people 567 00:28:52,697 --> 00:28:55,657 Speaker 1: gen z showed out and drugs outpaced baby boomers and 568 00:28:55,697 --> 00:28:59,297 Speaker 1: actually voted for these left wing politicians and Biden. A 569 00:28:59,337 --> 00:29:01,257 Speaker 1: lot of the reason was because it was what they 570 00:29:01,257 --> 00:29:03,577 Speaker 1: saw on their phones, and so what they saw in 571 00:29:03,617 --> 00:29:06,777 Speaker 1: these apps, whether it was Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, That targeting, 572 00:29:06,817 --> 00:29:09,577 Speaker 1: which can be done literally down to a science, is 573 00:29:09,617 --> 00:29:11,977 Speaker 1: what they're doing to young people. And so that's why 574 00:29:12,057 --> 00:29:14,297 Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, you know, especially some 575 00:29:14,337 --> 00:29:17,217 Speaker 1: of the older representatives. I'm saying you don't understand, but 576 00:29:17,377 --> 00:29:19,857 Speaker 1: you know your kids, your grandkids are on this and 577 00:29:19,897 --> 00:29:23,617 Speaker 1: this is basically how we're getting all of our information. 578 00:29:23,697 --> 00:29:26,057 Speaker 1: We don't read the newspaper, we don't watch television, we 579 00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:28,977 Speaker 1: don't read the radio, or we don't listen to the radio. 580 00:29:29,417 --> 00:29:31,737 Speaker 1: This is one hundred percent of digital age. And so 581 00:29:31,977 --> 00:29:35,057 Speaker 1: getting them to understand that has been something that everyone's 582 00:29:35,057 --> 00:29:36,697 Speaker 1: starting to come on board with now and realize how 583 00:29:36,737 --> 00:29:39,777 Speaker 1: much of a threat it is. So what's top of 584 00:29:39,777 --> 00:29:42,697 Speaker 1: the agenda for you from now until the end of 585 00:29:42,697 --> 00:29:45,457 Speaker 1: the year. What are you focused in on? By the way, 586 00:29:45,657 --> 00:29:48,177 Speaker 1: just giving somebody easy to close us up here, do 587 00:29:48,217 --> 00:29:50,537 Speaker 1: you just tell us you know what or to close 588 00:29:50,617 --> 00:29:53,497 Speaker 1: us out rather tell us you know what? Are you 589 00:29:53,497 --> 00:29:57,897 Speaker 1: trying to get done? Personally, professionally, anything, you just you 590 00:29:57,977 --> 00:30:01,457 Speaker 1: take it. Yeah. Number one is the debt ceiling, So 591 00:30:01,497 --> 00:30:03,697 Speaker 1: we're working on that now. Number two would be I 592 00:30:03,737 --> 00:30:06,857 Speaker 1: actually just sponsored or I just wrote a bipartisan bill 593 00:30:06,897 --> 00:30:09,977 Speaker 1: that we got a few Democrats to co sponsor we're 594 00:30:10,137 --> 00:30:12,897 Speaker 1: with Republicans to actually prevent sexual assault in the military, 595 00:30:13,257 --> 00:30:15,057 Speaker 1: and so we think that that's actually going to pass 596 00:30:15,137 --> 00:30:18,057 Speaker 1: and it would do something This is so much common sense, 597 00:30:18,137 --> 00:30:20,977 Speaker 1: but it would actually require service members to do one 598 00:30:21,057 --> 00:30:22,937 Speaker 1: day out of the month during the time that they 599 00:30:22,937 --> 00:30:26,617 Speaker 1: would do PT combatives training for self defense. And so 600 00:30:26,657 --> 00:30:29,297 Speaker 1: you'll be surprised to learn that not all branches do that. 601 00:30:29,417 --> 00:30:30,937 Speaker 1: You might if you're in the Marine Corps, but I 602 00:30:30,977 --> 00:30:34,097 Speaker 1: definitely did see in the Air Force and other branches 603 00:30:34,137 --> 00:30:37,497 Speaker 1: as well don't necessarily have that combatives training. So it's multifaceted. 604 00:30:37,577 --> 00:30:39,937 Speaker 1: It helps a service member, both men and women, but 605 00:30:39,977 --> 00:30:44,577 Speaker 1: then it also too prepares permission readiness. And then number 606 00:30:44,577 --> 00:30:46,897 Speaker 1: three would be I'm trying to find a chocolate Miran 607 00:30:47,097 --> 00:30:49,857 Speaker 1: chicken because I obviously, as you might have seen all 608 00:30:49,857 --> 00:30:52,777 Speaker 1: my social media, have chickens and they lay eggs, and 609 00:30:52,817 --> 00:30:55,457 Speaker 1: these chocolate Mirans have their chocolate covered eggs, and they're 610 00:30:55,457 --> 00:30:57,577 Speaker 1: hard to find, their considered designer chickens, and so I'm 611 00:30:57,577 --> 00:31:00,097 Speaker 1: looking for one. Oh whoa, whoa. You can't just you 612 00:31:00,137 --> 00:31:02,137 Speaker 1: can't just like sprinkle this in at the end and 613 00:31:02,177 --> 00:31:05,537 Speaker 1: think that I'm just gonna let you. I know you're busy, Rep. Luna, 614 00:31:05,617 --> 00:31:07,777 Speaker 1: but first of all, you have chickens. I did not 615 00:31:07,897 --> 00:31:11,457 Speaker 1: know this. Second of all, your chickens lay chocolate eggs. 616 00:31:11,577 --> 00:31:15,217 Speaker 1: You gotta tell everyone, so so every type. So I 617 00:31:15,257 --> 00:31:18,097 Speaker 1: have three chickens, but the different breeds of chickens will 618 00:31:18,177 --> 00:31:21,257 Speaker 1: lay different colored eggs. So right now, with the chickens 619 00:31:21,257 --> 00:31:23,657 Speaker 1: that I have, I have two Easter eggers, one of 620 00:31:23,657 --> 00:31:26,697 Speaker 1: which lays a bluish colored egg, and then I have 621 00:31:26,897 --> 00:31:29,337 Speaker 1: a black rock, which lays a brown egg. And then 622 00:31:29,417 --> 00:31:32,697 Speaker 1: they have these breed of chickens called chocolate Moranes that 623 00:31:32,777 --> 00:31:37,177 Speaker 1: lay a very dark like hershey, chocolate colored egg. And 624 00:31:37,257 --> 00:31:39,777 Speaker 1: so when you actually go and collect your eggs in 625 00:31:39,777 --> 00:31:41,937 Speaker 1: the morning, which we do every morning, we have this 626 00:31:42,137 --> 00:31:44,697 Speaker 1: great array, an assortment of eggs. It literally looks like 627 00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:47,457 Speaker 1: Easter eggs, okay, like they're all different colors. And so 628 00:31:47,497 --> 00:31:49,417 Speaker 1: I've been looking for one of these chickens for like 629 00:31:49,497 --> 00:31:51,497 Speaker 1: six months, but they're so hard to find because they're 630 00:31:51,537 --> 00:31:54,857 Speaker 1: like a designer chicken now in the egg community, and 631 00:31:54,897 --> 00:31:56,337 Speaker 1: so I'm trying to find one. So if you know, 632 00:31:56,417 --> 00:31:58,297 Speaker 1: we'll let me know. By the way, this is probably 633 00:31:58,337 --> 00:32:00,257 Speaker 1: a great side hustle because if you were to just 634 00:32:00,337 --> 00:32:03,297 Speaker 1: like have Eddy your husband go out and sell eggs, 635 00:32:03,297 --> 00:32:05,617 Speaker 1: are like they're like one hundred dollars eats, they're like 636 00:32:05,657 --> 00:32:10,297 Speaker 1: Faberge eggs. Now they've gotten really expensive organic. Yeah, sure 637 00:32:10,297 --> 00:32:13,337 Speaker 1: they're free range, are they? I see? I've actually thought 638 00:32:13,337 --> 00:32:15,377 Speaker 1: about this. Now I'm still an apartment, but the wife 639 00:32:15,377 --> 00:32:17,737 Speaker 1: wants me to get a house, and we're talking. I've said, fine, honey, 640 00:32:17,937 --> 00:32:20,537 Speaker 1: because happy wife, happy life turns out very true. I 641 00:32:20,577 --> 00:32:23,137 Speaker 1: have found out by gotta keep her happy all the time. 642 00:32:23,657 --> 00:32:25,217 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get a house at some point. And 643 00:32:25,257 --> 00:32:27,057 Speaker 1: I would love, you know, with a yard and grass 644 00:32:27,097 --> 00:32:28,577 Speaker 1: and so then chickens would be a thing that we 645 00:32:28,617 --> 00:32:33,217 Speaker 1: could do. How much work are they? And then also 646 00:32:33,657 --> 00:32:36,337 Speaker 1: do you feel like the chickens? So I had a 647 00:32:36,337 --> 00:32:37,977 Speaker 1: pet bird for a little while growing up, and I 648 00:32:37,977 --> 00:32:42,257 Speaker 1: always tell people listener's like, birds are weirdly smart and 649 00:32:42,377 --> 00:32:46,497 Speaker 1: when you spend time around them, they absolutely recognize different people. 650 00:32:46,737 --> 00:32:48,817 Speaker 1: They have people, they like people they don't like, they 651 00:32:49,137 --> 00:32:52,097 Speaker 1: show affection whatever. But that was like a little parrot 652 00:32:52,097 --> 00:32:55,377 Speaker 1: basic It was actually a cocateal. Do you like do 653 00:32:55,497 --> 00:32:58,017 Speaker 1: the birds? Do the chickens are? They're like, oh what's up? Rep? Luna? 654 00:32:58,097 --> 00:32:59,697 Speaker 1: Like good to see? Or does it not matter? Do 655 00:32:59,737 --> 00:33:02,817 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? No, they have personalities for sure. 656 00:33:03,417 --> 00:33:07,697 Speaker 1: They are actually surprisingly easy. So I have a gravity feeder, 657 00:33:07,737 --> 00:33:09,777 Speaker 1: which means I fell at my feeder about once every 658 00:33:09,777 --> 00:33:13,737 Speaker 1: three weeks, and then they like literally will go down, 659 00:33:13,817 --> 00:33:16,337 Speaker 1: and so they're self sufficient. I have an outdoor coop. 660 00:33:16,817 --> 00:33:19,377 Speaker 1: I have a door on the coop that opens when 661 00:33:19,417 --> 00:33:21,937 Speaker 1: the sun rises and closes when the sun sets, and 662 00:33:22,057 --> 00:33:25,297 Speaker 1: they literally debug my garden. I mean like they're the 663 00:33:25,297 --> 00:33:27,257 Speaker 1: easiest things. And they just rum around our front yard 664 00:33:27,257 --> 00:33:28,817 Speaker 1: and our backyard because we cut a little hole in 665 00:33:28,817 --> 00:33:30,897 Speaker 1: the fence. So it's funny because I'll see like my 666 00:33:30,977 --> 00:33:33,697 Speaker 1: post office guy or the Amazon delivery people and they're 667 00:33:33,777 --> 00:33:35,337 Speaker 1: used to the chickens now, but they can leave the 668 00:33:35,337 --> 00:33:37,617 Speaker 1: gate open. They stay in the front yard. They're literally 669 00:33:37,657 --> 00:33:40,377 Speaker 1: the easiest thing. And then we have a water feeder 670 00:33:40,417 --> 00:33:43,257 Speaker 1: that basically feeds them themselves. So they are the easiest 671 00:33:43,297 --> 00:33:45,657 Speaker 1: things on earth. That's why I tell people buy chickens, 672 00:33:46,297 --> 00:33:49,097 Speaker 1: so much more easier to get your eggs their organic, 673 00:33:49,097 --> 00:33:51,177 Speaker 1: free range. And then also too, I get a weird 674 00:33:51,217 --> 00:33:52,897 Speaker 1: sense of pride when I go to the grocery store 675 00:33:52,897 --> 00:33:55,097 Speaker 1: and I see eggs are like ten bucks and you 676 00:33:55,097 --> 00:33:56,737 Speaker 1: can just go home and get them from my chickens. 677 00:33:57,337 --> 00:33:58,857 Speaker 1: I know what your answer is going to be, but 678 00:33:58,897 --> 00:34:00,417 Speaker 1: I just have to get you on the record. For this. 679 00:34:00,977 --> 00:34:04,057 Speaker 1: If I gave you one of your you know, blindfolded 680 00:34:04,097 --> 00:34:06,017 Speaker 1: obviously right blindfold to tape. If I gave you one 681 00:34:06,017 --> 00:34:12,257 Speaker 1: of your chocolate blue whatever fancy eggs, and I just 682 00:34:12,297 --> 00:34:14,097 Speaker 1: gave you like an egg that you'd get from one 683 00:34:14,097 --> 00:34:17,697 Speaker 1: of those kind of depressing styrofoam containers at a gas 684 00:34:17,697 --> 00:34:21,737 Speaker 1: station somewhere, could you tell the difference? Yes? And this 685 00:34:21,857 --> 00:34:24,617 Speaker 1: happened to me in Washington. I was downstairs in the 686 00:34:24,737 --> 00:34:28,817 Speaker 1: chowd that's not a chowld, the cafeteria of the Capital, 687 00:34:29,257 --> 00:34:31,657 Speaker 1: and I went and got about four hard boiled eggs, 688 00:34:31,777 --> 00:34:33,577 Speaker 1: and I went up to my office to taste them, 689 00:34:33,617 --> 00:34:36,057 Speaker 1: and they taste like absolute garbage. Like I can tell 690 00:34:36,097 --> 00:34:39,017 Speaker 1: the difference. The yolks are actually a lot darker and 691 00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:41,697 Speaker 1: the shells are actually a lot harder. So whenever I 692 00:34:41,857 --> 00:34:43,777 Speaker 1: go out now I can actually tell them. Like I 693 00:34:43,817 --> 00:34:45,577 Speaker 1: don't even eat eggs when I'm out. I just wait 694 00:34:45,617 --> 00:34:49,377 Speaker 1: till i'm home. Wait, do you is dark yolk better 695 00:34:49,417 --> 00:34:53,857 Speaker 1: quality egg? Or lesser better quality? Now it's better quality. Yeah, 696 00:34:53,897 --> 00:34:56,337 Speaker 1: you'll actually see two. Like you can tell what the 697 00:34:56,417 --> 00:34:58,777 Speaker 1: chickens diet was if they're free range and they're eating 698 00:34:58,857 --> 00:35:01,697 Speaker 1: literally as scavengers, which is what they're supposed to do anyways, 699 00:35:01,697 --> 00:35:04,017 Speaker 1: and they're not eating feed. They're yolks will actually be darker. 700 00:35:04,337 --> 00:35:07,577 Speaker 1: Our chickens literally ate everything though the lizards. They eat bugs. 701 00:35:07,577 --> 00:35:10,257 Speaker 1: I feed them scraps from I mean like they love cheese. Use, 702 00:35:10,297 --> 00:35:12,457 Speaker 1: I feed them scraps from my salads. I mean. They 703 00:35:12,497 --> 00:35:14,377 Speaker 1: are just they're very well filled, the chicken, and they 704 00:35:14,377 --> 00:35:17,217 Speaker 1: love watermelon. It's great. You do not have a rooster, 705 00:35:17,297 --> 00:35:20,297 Speaker 1: so you do not have the cockadoo loo in the morning, right, 706 00:35:20,337 --> 00:35:25,017 Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, correct, But they are the one thing. No, yeah, 707 00:35:25,097 --> 00:35:27,897 Speaker 1: I have no roosters. They're fairly quiet. The one issue 708 00:35:27,937 --> 00:35:29,617 Speaker 1: I am having those they keep trying to eat my 709 00:35:29,657 --> 00:35:32,137 Speaker 1: dog's dog food. So they'll sneak in the back and 710 00:35:32,137 --> 00:35:33,337 Speaker 1: then try to get into some. I'm like, what do 711 00:35:33,377 --> 00:35:35,657 Speaker 1: you guys do they love his dog? They like they 712 00:35:35,697 --> 00:35:39,097 Speaker 1: like its dog food. Fair enough. Interesting, I gotta tell 713 00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:42,017 Speaker 1: the wife brothers, we gotta get some chickens. Representative Luna 714 00:35:42,297 --> 00:35:45,537 Speaker 1: and Napolina.
