00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: We need to take over.

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: That was think coming into Israeli territory to show you

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: what they don't want you to see.

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 3: It's still a disaster.

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:16,959

8
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,759

00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,160

13
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 5: Sounds to me bad, like we're all be happy until

14
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,400

Speaker 4: top stories. Liberation Day is upon us. But what is next?

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: We're scheduled to find out in about an hour when

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 4: President Trump rolls out his plan for reciprocal tariffs against

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: our trade partners. In minutes, here from congressional lawmakers who

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 4: are weighing the impact of those tariffs on their constituents. Plus,

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: House Speaker Mike Johnson sends all members of Congress home

29
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: after losing a key vote. The woman behind the Speaker's

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 4: hissy fit, Florida Congresswoman Annapaulina Luna, joins US Live to

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: discuss and later the Senate could vote as early as

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 4: this week on President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. We'll take

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: a deep dive into the fiscal framework and how it

34
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 4: would extend expiring tax cuts and cut overall government spending.

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: All of that and so much more coming up right

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: now on America's Voice Live. While the eyes of the

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: world are on the White House as President Trump is

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: scheduled to announce a series of reciprocal tariffs this afternoon.

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: The press conference is dubbed make America Wealthy Again. On

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: a day the President is calling Liberation Dawn. Today's announcement

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: will be an addition to tariffs already in effect. For instance,

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: some Canadian and Mexican goods are already being taxed at

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: a twenty five percent rate, and China is paying a

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 4: twenty percent tariff on some of its exports to the

45
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: United States. The Commander in chief will double down on

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: his tariff plan tomorrow, when he's expected to slap twenty

47
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: five percent tariffs on foreign made vehicles and car parts.

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: Georgia Congressman Andrew Clyde joins me this afternoon to discuss

49
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: his expectations on how these tariffs will impact American workers

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: and farmers. Congressmen, good afternoon, Good to see you as always.

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: Well, good afternoon, Terren's great to be with you.

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: All right, So let's start in your state of Georgia.

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: What do you expect the impact of the tariffs to

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: be on the farmers in your state? When, of course

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: you think of Georgia, you think of peaches, corn, peanuts,

56
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: that kind of thing.

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: So there very well could be an impact.

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 4: And as I understand it, your district is one of

59
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: those kind of rural agricultural districts as well.

60
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, it's quite rural.

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 7: Well, you know, first of all, I think that we

62
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 7: should be giving President Trump the benefit of the doubt

63
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 7: here because this is his second term. He used tariffs

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 7: very effectively in the first term, and I don't think

65
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 7: the tariffs that he has in mind are going to

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 7: be long term. I think he's using them as leverage,

67
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 7: and he's a very effective negotiator.

68
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: So I think we just need to.

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 7: Wait and see in the Rose Garden ceremony to see

70
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 7: what he's going to do. But I trust President Trump.

71
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 7: I think he's got this well under control, and he's

72
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 7: got great advisors around him.

73
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: You use the word leverage.

74
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: One of the things President Trump has said repeatedly is

75
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: that he's hoping that these teriffs will ultimately lead to

76
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: more manufacturing here in the United States, that the companies

77
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: or countries that are being tariffed will build their products

78
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: here and then won't have to pay those terrafts.

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: How would that potentially benefit Georgia.

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 7: Well, I think you would see unemployment go down. We've

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 7: got a number of folks that don't have jobs that

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 7: could certainly be working. We have seen that, and so

83
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 7: I think these pro growth states like Georgia, We're a

84
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 7: great state for business, will actually greatly benefit from manufacturing

85
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 7: coming into our states.

86
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: Manufacturing is also I've been looking up the statistics. I

87
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: almost feel like I'm stalking you. I've been looking up

88
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: some statistics about your district and One of the things

89
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 4: that came up that I was somewhat surprised about is

90
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: that manufacturing is actually a pretty big deal there and

91
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 4: Ta CoA specifically that it's one of the major industries.

92
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: So I would imagine that you're watching that pretty closely

93
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: as well, thinking there.

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: Might be opportunities for Tacola.

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 7: Absolutely to CoA, Gainesville, I mean, Clarksville. There's a lot

96
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 7: of manufacturing in the ninth district in Northeast Georgia. So

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to seeing more manufacturing coming into our district,

98
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 7: promoting more jobs and giving more opportunity for folks. So

99
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 7: I think this is going to be a good thing,

100
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 7: and I think President Trump's got it under control.

101
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 3: When it comes to leverage.

102
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: The president, of course putting out these tariffs. How many

103
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: international companies or international companies in general are doing business

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 4: particularly and I'll just focus on your district.

105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: In your district, are you seeing.

106
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: More domestic companies or do you have some international influence

107
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: there that hopefully will spur even more growth.

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 7: We do have some international influence in the district. We've

109
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 7: got some manufacturing companies that come from overseas. But honestly,

110
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 7: I would like to see more American growth in coming

111
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 7: into the ninth district, you know, and these American companies

112
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 7: will be able to invest more when you have the

113
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 7: Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which we're going to pass,

114
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 7: and we're going to extend those tax cuts. So I

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 7: think this is all going to be very very good

116
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 7: for growth and for an increase in gross domestic product

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 7: here in the United States.

118
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 4: We'll all, of course be keeping an eye on the

119
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: Rose Garden at four o'clock to see exactly what the

120
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 4: President says. Obviously we're so nising at what's going to happen,

121
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: but he's pretty much kept his specific plans close to

122
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: his vest I'm curious, are you at home right now

123
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: or are you in Washington, d C.

124
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: I can't quite make it out from the background.

125
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: No, I'm at my desk in Washington, d C.

126
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 7: I'm still here, and I will be here tomorrow too,

127
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 7: So okay, home, I've worked.

128
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: Here, chuckling because you know where I'm going next.

129
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 4: Most of your colleagues are at home right now, after

130
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 4: Speaker Johnson sent them home yesterday. Following those nine Republicans

131
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: voted against a measure of pretty much blocker resolution that

132
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: would have allowed for proxy voting. Explain what happened here,

133
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 4: and kudos do you for stay in Washington, but explain

134
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: to us really quickly what happened here.

135
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: Well, I was.

136
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 7: Very, very disappointed that the rule got taken down by

137
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 7: these nine Republicans. You know, it's all about proxy voting,

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 7: and no matter who you're claiming the proxy voting is for,

139
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 7: in this case, it's for expectant mothers and new fathers.

140
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, but proxy voting is not constitutional. Requires that

141
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 7: we come and we assemble and that we vote. If

142
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 7: we're going to be here and we're going to do

143
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 7: our job, then we actually have to congress. We have

144
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 7: to debate, We have to bring our ideas and.

145
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: Talk to them and talk to folks face to face.

146
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 7: You know, communication is seventy percent nonverbal, only thirty percent verbal,

147
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 7: So if you're not in the room, then you're not

148
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 7: contributing as much as you could. We saw proxy voting

149
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 7: as a disaster during the Pelosi regime.

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: I experienced two years of it myself.

151
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 7: I mean, there were many abuses of proxy voting on

152
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 7: both sides of the aisle, and it would, in my opinion,

153
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 7: forever harm the institution if we allowed if we start

154
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 7: allowing proxy voting under Republican control. Now we can't control

155
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: the Democrats. You know, if the Democrats ever get power,

156
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 7: they may want proxy voting to come back, but not Republicans,

157
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 7: or we will forever change the institution for the worst.

158
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 4: Well, you've made it clear where you stay on the

159
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: whole issue of proxy voting in its constitutionality. But where

160
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: do you stand on Speaker Johnson deciding to send.

161
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: Your colleagues home.

162
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: I called it, and please correct me if I'm wrong.

163
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: But it seems from the outside looking in, like you

164
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: pitched a hitch, Like you pitched a hissy fit and said.

165
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: You know what, I didn't get my way, so go home.

166
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: How do you see it?

167
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 7: Well, when a rule comes goes down, then you're not

168
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 7: able to vote on what the rule was covering, all right,

169
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 7: So in one respect, it was not possible for us

170
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 7: to actually go and vote on what we had intended

171
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 7: to vote on the.

172
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Very next day.

173
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 7: There would have had to been a new rule brought forward,

174
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 7: that new rule being voted on, and then you have

175
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 7: a time frame that has to exist before you can

176
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 7: actually bring that piece of legislation to the floor. So

177
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 7: that's a problem in and of itself, and I was

178
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 7: very disappointed that the rule was taken down by nine

179
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 7: of my colleagues.

180
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 4: So what happens next? Obviously, and again, kudos to you,

181
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: I'm going to say this time and time again. I

182
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: appreciate you at least staying in Washington, d C. So

183
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: if something comes up, you can get to work. But

184
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 4: what happens next, because let's just be honest, time is

185
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: running out, and unfortunately you and some of your colleagues,

186
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: not you specifically, but some of your colleagues haven't necessarily

187
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: shown the urgency to get the work of the American

188
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: people done. And I hate to sound critical, but I

189
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: suspect there are many people who would agree.

190
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 7: Well, right now we're waiting a little bit on the

191
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 7: Senate for them to complete their budget resolution so that

192
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 7: we can start the reconciliation process, which is truly the

193
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 7: process that will increase or continue rather the tax cuts

194
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 7: and jobs acts, and then it will also give us

195
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 7: additional gross domestic product, and then also the tax cuts

196
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 7: that are within the budget reconciliation bill, the one point

197
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 7: five minimum trillion in tax cuts and with an upper

198
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 7: air area there, upper level that that really could be anything.

199
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 7: So that's what we have to work on, and we're

200
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 7: waiting on the Senate for that, but we have other

201
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 7: pieces of legislation that we can bring across the House floor.

202
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 7: Exactly how that's going to happen is going to be

203
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 7: up to Speaker Johnson. I think on Monday we'll see

204
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 7: a new rule come up and then, but I don't

205
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 7: know right now. I'm not on the Rules committee to

206
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 7: tell you exactly how that rule will be crafted, but

207
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 7: we will vote on it again and will it will

208
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 7: be Monday.

209
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: Now there is word that the Senate could come out

210
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 4: with its budget framework by the end of this week.

211
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: Are you optimistic that it's going to be something that

212
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: will be palatable? I'll use that word for you and

213
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 4: your Republican colleagues in the House.

214
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 7: Well, right now, the minimum tax cuts not tax cuts,

215
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 7: but spending cuts in the Senate is three billion dollars.

216
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 7: That's barely palatable at all. In fact, that's not palatable.

217
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 7: Ours is one point five trillion dollars in tax cuts

218
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 7: over the ten year budget cycle. We have been communicating

219
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 7: constantly with the Senate that what needs to happen is

220
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 7: they need to bring up the House resolution and pass

221
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 7: the House Resolution as we have presented it, it's a

222
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 7: very very good resolution. We spend a lot of time

223
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 7: working on it to make sure that we could get

224
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 7: the Republicans on board necessary to pass it.

225
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: And it extends the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

226
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 7: It comes, it gives the President the wins that he

227
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 7: has promised the American people with regard to the TCJA,

228
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 7: and then also it funds it neutrally so that it

229
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 7: does not increase the deficit whatsoever.

230
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: In fact, as.

231
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 7: Growth continues, I think it would decrease the deficit.

232
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 4: Congressmen, these days, I think it's impossible to talk about

233
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: the budget and not bring up dogs.

234
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: So here we go with that.

235
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: The latest news from doges that Health and Human Services

236
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 4: is laying off about ten thousand employees based on some

237
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: of what's been happening with dogs. How satisfied are you

238
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: with the work that's happening under DOGE, And what are

239
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: you hearing in terms it's law, in terms of its

240
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: long term future, and maybe even more importantly, it's near

241
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: term future. The end of May, when that one hundred

242
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: and thirty days elapses.

243
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 7: Well, I will tell you that the intent of DOGE

244
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 7: was to be here until the two hundred and fiftieth

245
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 7: anniversary of our country was July fourth of next year.

246
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: I think Doge is doing a phenomenal job.

247
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 7: Eli Musk is doing an incredible job of identifying fraud, waste,

248
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 7: and abuse and then leaving it to the secretaries of

249
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 7: each of the of the branches to make the decisions

250
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 7: as to what they're going to do. I think during

251
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 7: the Biden administration you saw a tremendous expansion of the

252
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 7: federal government. When they wanted job numbers, they said, Okay,

253
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 7: go and hire more federal employees to kind of fill

254
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 7: in that job number gap. And so that was very

255
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 7: disingenuous by the Biden administration. So we're seeing these employees

256
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 7: which really have not led to efficiency. In fact, they've

257
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 7: led to exactly the opposite, being let go. And that's

258
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,359
Speaker 7: what needs to happen. We're bringing business, solid business principles.

259
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: I'm a businessman, Elon Musk is a businessman. Donald Trump

260
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: is a businessman.

261
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 7: But he's bringing solid commercial business principles into the government

262
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 7: and that is only going to help us be more

263
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 7: efficient and spend our tax dollars more Wisely.

264
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: Congressman, we appreciate your time and again, kudos to you

265
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: for sticking around Washington, d C. Despite some of your

266
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 4: colleagues having been sent home. Next time I'm in DC,

267
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 4: I'll treat you to a red hot at Ben's Chili

268
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 4: Bowl just for staying around. Thanks so much for being here, sir.

269
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: I will take you up on that. Thank you, Terrence.

270
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: All right, By the way, that's really just an excuse

271
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 4: for me to be able to go to Ben's Chili Bowl.

272
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 4: All right, folks, coming up after the breaker. Hearing was

273
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: recently held by a Congressional Task Force that was led

274
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 4: by Representative Annapolina Luna on the newly declassified JFK assassination files.

275
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: I'll be discussing that with her next here on America's

276
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: Voice Live. Calling back to America's Voice Live. The JFK

277
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 4: assassination is once again making headlines this morning, decades after

278
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: the case was officially closed. However, in the court of

279
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: public opinion, the investigation continues and is far from open

280
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 4: and shut. Enter the Congressional Task Force on the Declassification

281
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 4: of Federal Secrets, which held a hearing on the topic

282
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: on Tuesday. Florida Congresswoman Annapaulina Luna chairs that committee and

283
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: has been vocal critic of past government efforts to withhold

284
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: information about the assassination from the public. All of that

285
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 4: has changed under President Trump, though, who ordered the JFK

286
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: files to be declassified and released to the public. Congresswoman

287
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 4: Luna joined us on the phone to discuss Good afternoon.

288
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 6: Congresswoman, Hey, thanks for having me on.

289
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure to have you on.

290
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: Before we get to that, you are making big headlines

291
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: across the country, So let's.

292
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: Get right to the elephant in the room.

293
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: I'd like to get your thoughts on the pushback that

294
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: you're receiving on your bipartisan resolution that would have allowed

295
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: lawmakers who are new parents to vote by proxy. Has

296
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: this really turned into a bigger issue than you expected.

297
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: Speaker Johnson sent everybody home and said, forget all of this.

298
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 6: I mean, the fact is is that Speaker Johnson ended

299
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 6: up getting community noted by x which, as you know

300
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 6: is formerly known as Twitter with the correct information and

301
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 6: really the attack here, and I put out a letter earlier,

302
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,359
Speaker 6: is that, Look, you have some of the most conservative

303
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 6: Republicans in Congress that said you have to respect the

304
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 6: process of collecting signatures and allowing a piece of legislation

305
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 6: like this to come to the ground, to the floor,

306
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 6: because that's the rules that we agree to, right. So,

307
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 6: like let's say you have a bill on Urnam's for example.

308
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: Do you know how many times people have introduced legislation

309
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: on term moments and leadership will not bring it to

310
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 6: the floor. It's happening all the time. In fact, I'm

311
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 6: thinking about doing a discharge petition on termamus as well.

312
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 6: But the point is that what they try to do

313
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 6: is they tried to in order to block this, attach

314
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 6: it to the Save Acts, which as you know, we've

315
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 6: had Congress now for over what seventy days, and we've

316
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 6: put nothing on the floor to do anything for President

317
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 6: Trup's agenda until twenty four hours before the twenty four

318
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 6: hours after they realized that my dissearch petition was successful.

319
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 6: So you know, look, the argument here is that you

320
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 6: have the Supreme Court that's ruled that this is legal.

321
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 6: I've never voted by proxy, But where you're seeing is

322
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 6: even Mike Johnson, some of the most vocal advocates against

323
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 6: vote by proxy, all voted by proxy. In fact, Mike

324
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 6: Johnson voted over four times, as well as the majority

325
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 6: of leadership and a majority of the people in Congress

326
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 6: that are making videos and posts all about this all

327
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 6: voted by proxy. What I am saying is we have

328
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 6: the slightest, our slimitest majority in US history, and you've

329
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 6: only ever had now thirteen. With kat Camus as a

330
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 6: Republican pregnant, she's going to be the fourteenth legislator in

331
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: US history to ever give birth. If she can't come

332
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 6: up to vote because there's a medical complication within the

333
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 6: first couple of days of her delivering, that can and

334
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 6: it has a very big likelihood stop her from being

335
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: able to carry out President Trump's agenda. We need every

336
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 6: vote that we can get.

337
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: Congressman Luna, what do you make of the argument?

338
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: And we just had one of your colleagues on moments

339
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 4: ago who said that voting by proxy is unconstitutional?

340
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: Do you buy that argument? Do you agree?

341
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 6: So? I actually specifically addressed this, and in the Constitution

342
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 6: it says members must be present to establish a quorum,

343
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 6: And in the language that I wrote, I said members

344
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 6: shall only shall only be able to vote by proxy

345
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 6: without establishing a core, meaning I remove that so it's

346
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 6: in line with the Constitution, but not to mention the

347
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 6: amaricust brief that went up to the Supreme Court in

348
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: one hundred and seventeenth Congress was actually ruled against by

349
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 6: the Supreme Court. They said Congress has the authority to

350
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 6: govern themselves, and so this would be part of the

351
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 6: governing process. To say that this is just like to

352
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 6: vote by proxy so that you can attend a Space

353
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 6: Shuttle launch is crazy and it's disingenuine, which is why

354
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 6: we're going on and we're sharing this backs to the

355
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 6: American people. The fact is is that we have a

356
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 6: female lawmaker that's pregnant. She is not the only one.

357
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 6: There's also three other Republicans that have children on the way.

358
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 6: And the fact is is that we have one of

359
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 6: the most narrow majorities in your history, and so we

360
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 6: want to be able to give those people the ability

361
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 6: to still carry through not just for their contients but

362
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 6: for the president. But either which way, let's take this

363
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 6: conversation off the table. What you have now is a

364
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 6: group that's saying, if you even allow this to play

365
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 6: through the process and come to the floor, we won't

366
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 6: even support the president's agenda. And that's the problem here

367
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 6: is you have a very manipulative tactic on the back

368
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 6: end and I would say that the American people don't care.

369
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 6: They just want Congress to pass legislation. So then I

370
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 6: would turn it to the speaker, say, mister speaker, why

371
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 6: have you waited seventy days to put anything in regards

372
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 6: to what we've campaigned on. We promised the American people

373
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 6: on to put any legislation on the floor until now,

374
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 6: and then you lie about it and then you get

375
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 6: fact checked about it. The American people should be calling

376
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 6: that's the question. I assure you. We will pass the

377
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 6: Save Act and we are going to be falling through

378
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 6: on everything that we've promised to do. But I don't

379
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 6: control the legislation, and I definitely don't control sending people home,

380
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 6: and so the fact that they did that was honestly shameful.

381
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 6: I think that that was wrong. And as you're seeing

382
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: while they're getting called out about it online and you

383
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 6: saw them they get community noted on.

384
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 4: It, you use the word disingenuous, and that seems to

385
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 4: be thematic throughout this debate about what happened here. D

386
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: you see Speaker Johnson's reaction to all of this, particularly

387
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 4: in terms of sending you and your colleagues home, as

388
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 4: being disingenuous as well, and I'm just using a word again.

389
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that the statements that were made to

390
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 6: the public were intentionally misleading, and I think that that's

391
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 6: why you're seeing that he's getting called out about it,

392
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 6: and that's why you're seeing that community note come out

393
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 6: about what actually happened. The fact is, and I know

394
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 6: that this is a lot of parliamentary procedure, and that's

395
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 6: really what this is they try to make us look

396
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 6: bad because they didn't like that we were successful at

397
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 6: using a tool because they can't silo the control in

398
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 6: the majority, right, and so they wanted to stop it,

399
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 6: and so they try to make us look like we're

400
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 6: for if I elected an integrity efforts and they were

401
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 6: doing something when in actuality, I'm telling you right now

402
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 6: and I have the receipts to prove it. You guys

403
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 6: can see the letter that I wrote to the conference.

404
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 6: We found out maybe two days prior to that vote

405
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 6: coming up that they were going to try to do

406
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 6: that to make us look bad, and so I put

407
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 6: it out there for the American people to read. What's

408
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 6: interesting those yes, a lot of the members you know

409
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: that Tim Burchett voted to remove Speaker McCarthy because he

410
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 6: didn't follow through on his campaign promises. So the fact

411
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 6: that people would say Tim Burchett needs to resign, or

412
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 6: Greg Suby needs to resign, or Wesley Hunt needs to resign.

413
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 6: Either are some of the most conservative members of the

414
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 6: body that supported the president. And I would argue supported

415
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 6: the president when it wasn't cool to support the president.

416
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 6: So I would tell you, ask people why they're not

417
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 6: being honest with you. I've always been honest. You have

418
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 6: the trail that I've set, here's a fact pattern. But

419
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 6: I really don't like how the Speaker handled this, and

420
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 6: I really think that it's going to hurt him in

421
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 6: the long run. I understand that he's up against a

422
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 6: lot of pressure here, and I also understand that there's people,

423
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 6: you know, saying, if you don't do this, I'm not

424
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 6: going to do this. But we've played by the rules

425
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 6: and portrayed to the American people that were somehow obstructing

426
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 6: working with Democrats. That's also not correct. There's been multiple

427
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 6: discharge petitions that were signed in previous congresses. Lest Congress

428
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 6: included that include suftware, emergency relief, and then also on

429
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 6: Social Security. So it's just it's not a valid argument,

430
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 6: and it's only done to try to hurt people.

431
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 4: Just really quickly, and then I promise we were going

432
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 4: to move on. But do you see all of this

433
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: having created a rift within the Republican conference there in

434
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 4: the House.

435
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 6: No, I think that as long as you know, whenever

436
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 6: you start a new Congress, they say, people, you know,

437
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: turn over the new page. And so the discharch petition

438
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 6: and these rules we actually all voted on and agreed

439
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 6: to as a conference. Now you're seeing them try to

440
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 6: change it, and you're also seeing the same people. Remember,

441
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone watching RIV has never

442
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 6: wanted to support Ukraine. I'm very proud of say that

443
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 6: I've never supported Ukraine. But you guys realized that the

444
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 6: people that are saying that were the rhinos, The people

445
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 6: that are saying that we're the ones weren't you with

446
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 6: Democrats and were people to blame the are the same

447
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 6: ones that literally have like voting records to show that

448
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 6: they're not exactly being honest with the American people.

449
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: As I said at the top, you're making headlines for

450
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 4: many different reasons. So let's switch over to the JFK files.

451
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: One of the highlights of your hearing yesterday was a

452
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: call to reopen the investigation into President Kennedy's assassination. What

453
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 4: do you think is that going to actually happen? Should

454
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: that happen?

455
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will tell you that as of right now,

456
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 6: we are doing everything that we can in order to

457
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 6: follow up on documents that are still outstanding, whether they're

458
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 6: from the CIA or from the SBI, wherever they might be. Remember,

459
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 6: there's been eighty thousand pages of documentcy classified that there's

460
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 6: a lot to go through. But I do think that

461
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 6: Congress should consider actually setting aside budget and money to

462
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 6: actually have forensics investigators come in. And remember President tron Tulci,

463
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 6: Gabbert and to the CIA directors his credit have all

464
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 6: pushed for this transparency, and that's the transparency that this

465
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 6: country's so desperate they needed. So many people had questions

466
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 6: about DFK right, they had the inclinations, it was usually

467
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 6: hearsay or they had some evidence but not the full picture.

468
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 6: And I think that these documents have provided a lot

469
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 6: of context for people to answer those questions that they

470
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 6: might have had. Outstanding. Mister Morley, who was one of

471
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 6: the witnesses as well as mister Oliver Stone. Actually it

472
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 6: was mister Morley that said that because of the new

473
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 6: documents that came out that he believed that the CIA

474
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 6: played a more nesarious role, and he actually was on

475
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 6: Jesse Waters last night addressing this. And so I think

476
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 6: that it needs to be done yet.

477
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: All right, So one last question I've been burning to

478
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 4: ask you this, since you are the chair of this

479
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 4: task force on the declassific declassification of secrets. I wanted

480
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: in federal secrets. I want to make sure I got

481
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 4: that right. What are some of the other secrets that

482
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 4: we don't know about?

483
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 6: Well, as you know, we are still witting on the

484
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 6: release of the MLK files and the RSK files, and

485
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 6: as some of you might know too, I was able

486
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 6: to connect with Robert F. Kennedy Junior specifically on witnesses

487
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 6: that we should potentially bring in and also that investigation.

488
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 6: But we're also pushing for transparency on things that aren't

489
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 6: considered declassified yet, that is on UAPs usos. And remember

490
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 6: I've been very vocal about pushing for the release of

491
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 6: the Jeffrey Epstein files. I have been probably on the

492
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 6: front lines, and if you see how many people are

493
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 6: in Congress are calling for the release of the Epstein files.

494
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 6: I think I'm the only one. I might be like

495
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 6: one of like five. Maybe that is wrong. Everyone deserves

496
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 6: to know what's in there, I think, and I encourage

497
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 6: the Department of Justice to get those files to the

498
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 6: American people. But more importantly, if you have a bunch

499
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 6: of rich and powerful people that did something bad in

500
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 6: regards to trafficking underage women and potentially children, and you

501
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 6: have them not in jail, you only have Goleen Maxwell,

502
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 6: I mean, what does that say about the standard of

503
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 6: justice in this country? And so that's why it's important

504
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 6: for the file to be released. But again, I'm not

505
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 6: over at the Department.

506
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 4: Of Justice, Tinders, Woman Anna Paulina a Luna. We appreciate

507
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: your time. Thank you so much for that wide ranging conversation.

508
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 6: Thanks so much for thank you.

509
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 4: All Right, we're back in a moment. It's the nation's capital.

510
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 4: Welcome back everyone, Tarrance Bates here at your service. The

511
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 4: Senate could vote as early as this week on the

512
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: fiscal framework for President Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill for

513
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 4: Economic Issues. It would extend expiring tax cuts and implement

514
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 4: his tax cut promises. The measure is also expected to

515
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 4: boost funding for border security and national defense. In terms

516
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 4: of spending cuts, however, Republican senators are talking about including

517
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 4: around two trillion dollars over a decade. Here with me

518
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 4: now to discuss is the president of the National Taxpayers Union,

519
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 4: Pete Sep Pete.

520
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 3: Always a pleasure, my friend. Good to see you saying here, sir, so,

521
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: how do you.

522
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 4: Foresee the reconciliation process ultimately playing out?

523
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 8: Well, what we're going to have to see is the

524
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 8: two chambers of Congress coming together on a common game plan.

525
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 8: It seems clear that both the House and the Senate

526
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 8: want to avoid a tremendous four trillion dollar plus tax

527
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 8: hike on the economy that would throw it into a

528
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 8: recession for sure. Now, the question of spending restraint is

529
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 8: a very important one. The House passed to budget resolution

530
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 8: that calls for two trillion dollars less in federal spending

531
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 8: over a nine year period. The Senate's budget resolution is saying, well,

532
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 8: certain committees may have the option to do the two trillion,

533
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 8: but I think we need to be more forceful here

534
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 8: lock those in because we're really not talking about two

535
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 8: trillion dollars of cuts to federal spending. We're talking about

536
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 8: a two trillion dollars slow down in the rate of increase.

537
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 8: Taxpayers are already sacrificing a whole lot accepting a massive

538
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 8: run up in federal spending since the pandemic, over seventy

539
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 8: percent since twenty nineteen. I think it's time to acknowledge

540
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 8: we need to do even better than two trillion dollars

541
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 8: in spending restraint.

542
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: Two trillion needs to be the floor.

543
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought that up, because it seems that

544
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 4: that is a major foundational disconnect between.

545
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: The two houses.

546
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 4: No matter how much you ultimately want to see, that's

547
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 4: a huge disconnect that ultimately could throw a monkey wrench

548
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: in this entire thing.

549
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 8: It sounds like, yeah, it's very important for both chambers

550
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 8: to say, look, we may have differences on where we

551
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 8: want to see savings in the federal budget, and tire

552
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 8: programs might actually be cut, but we're still going to

553
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 8: have plenty of room for the federal budget to keep

554
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 8: growing under even a two trillion dollar spending restraint scenario.

555
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 8: You take Medicaid, for example, that's a really hot topic

556
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 8: right now. Democrats in Congress are saying, oh, oh, it's

557
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 8: nearly a nine hundred billion dollar cut in federal spending.

558
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 8: It's nothing of the kind. There is no cut in

559
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 8: medicaid spending being contemplated, either in the House's version of

560
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 8: this budget or in the sentence. In fact, the House's

561
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 8: version of the budget is saying, we just want to

562
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 8: slow the growth rate of medicaid spending from a little

563
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 8: under five percent that's projected annually for the next nine

564
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 8: years to a little under three percent. Now, how is

565
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 8: that some kind of end of the world doomsday scenario.

566
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: It isn't.

567
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 8: Because there is so much fifty billion dollars worth of waste, fraud,

568
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 8: and abuse and medicaid alone, that's a great place to

569
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 8: start pulling back the rate of increase.

570
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: Pete. I'm going to tell all the congress members that

571
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 4: we have coming on that they need to call you

572
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: because I think you've got some great ideas there and

573
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 4: things they should consider. Pete. Step We appreciate your time.

574
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: My friend, pleasure.

575
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 4: Well, folks, the IRS is the largest collection agency in

576
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: the world, and with April fifteenth fast approaching, it's more

577
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 4: aggressive than ever.

578
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five.

579
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 4: Enforcement is really ramped up, and if you happen to

580
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 4: owe back taxes, or if you've got unfiled returns, well,

581
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 4: waiting just isn't an option. April fifteenth marks another tax

582
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: year that has passed you by, and getting ahead of

583
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: it now is probably the smartest move.

584
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: But here's something else to consider.

585
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 4: Never ever ever contact the IRS alone. Instead, let the

586
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 4: experts at Tax Network USA handle it for you. Why

587
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: you ask, Well, it's because not all tax resolution companies

588
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: are the same. Tax Network USA has a preferred direct

589
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 4: line to the IRS, which means they know exactly which

590
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 4: agents to deal with and which ones to avoid, with

591
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 4: proven strategies to settle your tax problems in your favor,

592
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 4: whether you owe ten thousand dollars or ten million. Tax

593
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: Network ussa's attorneys and their negotiators have already resolved over

594
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 4: a billion dollars in tax debt. Call eight hundred nine

595
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: oh five eight thousand or visit TANUSA dot com slash

596
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 4: rab for more information. Remember, April fifteenth is right around

597
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 4: the corner, so you may want to act now before

598
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 4: the IRS acts first. Well, as we've discussed all show long,

599
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 4: today's liberation Day for President Donald Trump.

600
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: We'll talk to Congressman Tim Burch at a good friend

601
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 3: of the show about that that's so much more.

602
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 4: Next, it's cherry blossoms and waterfall time there in Washington, DC.

603
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 4: Welcome back to America's Voice Live. President Trump is delivering

604
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 4: on his promise to put America first when it comes

605
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 4: to trade and everything else. Since returning to the White House,

606
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: he's implemented a twenty percent tariff on Chinese imports and

607
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 4: a twenty five percent levy on steel and aluminum from

608
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 4: our North American neighbors. The latest round of tariffs, being

609
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 4: rolled out in a few hours, actually in about less

610
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: than an hour from now, is expected to be the

611
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 4: most comprehensive yet. While there's no word what specific industries

612
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: will be targeted for the reciprocal teriffs in which countries

613
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 4: would be most immediately affected, the White House is predicting

614
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 4: a six hundred billion dollar a year return. On Tuesday,

615
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt made it clear that

616
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 4: April second, which is today, will go down as one

617
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: of the most important days in modern American history. Joining

618
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 4: me now to discuss is Republican Congressman from.

619
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: Tennessee Tim Burchett.

620
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 4: Okay, we don't have Congressman burchet just yet, but I

621
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 4: promise you we will get him on here momentarily. In

622
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: the meantime, we want to shift to some other news.

623
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 4: Attorney General Pam Bondi ordering federal prosecutors to seek the

624
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 4: death penalty against the man accused of murdering United Healthcare

625
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: CEO Brian Thompson. The twenty six year old also faces

626
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: both state and federal charges in New York. The state

627
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: charges include murder as an act of terrorism, along with

628
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: weapons offenses. The federal case is the only one involving

629
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 4: the potential of the death penalty, and deciding to move

630
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 4: forward with the ultimate punishment, Bondi saying, quote, after careful consideration,

631
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 4: I have directed federal prosecutors to say to seek the

632
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: death penalty in this case, as we carry out President

633
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 4: Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and make America safe again.

634
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 4: The Attorney General lifted a moratorium on federal executions back

635
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 4: in February. The pause had been an effect since twenty

636
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 4: twenty one. All Right, folks, we're going to take a

637
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 4: great break. When we come back. We're going to try

638
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 4: to get you to Tim burch At, the congressman there

639
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 4: from Tennessee.

640
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: All of that and so much more.

641
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 4: Coming your way after this break. Welcome back everyone. In

642
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: about fifteen minutes, President Trump is set to deliver on

643
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 4: his promise to put America first when it comes to

644
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 4: trade and everything else. Since returning to the White House,

645
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 4: he's already implemented a twenty percent tariff on Chinese imports

646
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 4: in the twenty five percent levee on steel and aluminum

647
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: from Canada and Mexico. Well, the latest round of terrifts

648
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 4: that's being rolled out in about fifteen minutes, as I

649
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 4: just mentioned, is expected to be the most comprehensive yet.

650
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 4: While there's no word what specific industries are going to

651
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 4: be targeted for these reciprocal tariffs in which countries are

652
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: going to be most immediately affected, the White House is

653
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: predicting a six hundred billion dollar a year return. On Tuesday,

654
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt made it clear that

655
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 4: April second will go down as one of the most

656
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 4: important days in American history. Joining me now to discuss

657
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: that and so much more. Republican Congressman from Tennessee, Tim Burchett, Congressman,

658
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 4: always a pleasure to see you. Your immediate thoughts. With

659
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: about fifteen minutes left until this big announcement in the

660
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 4: Rose Garden good for America or do you have concerns?

661
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 5: Of course I always have concerns, But I trust Press Trump.

662
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 5: He's been pretty smart. The guy negotiates with tagsters. I'm

663
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 5: pretty sure he can. He can handle some foreign laters.

664
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 5: I think you're already seeing a lot of them come

665
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 5: into our fold. I think Israel, Vietnam and some other

666
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 5: folks have basically said, if y'all do away with ours,

667
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 5: will do away with yours, and that's all. We wants

668
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 5: a level playing field. And you know as well as

669
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 5: I do, Terrance that at Congress has not been too

670
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 5: kind of the working people in our manufacturing base.

671
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 3: In this country.

672
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 5: We seem to always have room for China and the

673
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 5: rest of them, but when America it seems to be

674
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 5: down and out, we have a real problem helping them out.

675
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 5: So I'm hopeful this will cleaning the field for our country.

676
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 5: And I'm as we've seen already, there's already rumors that

677
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 5: some of the countries have already decided to fold, and

678
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 5: there'll be others coming in as well.

679
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 4: One of the things we're hearing when it comes to

680
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 4: these tariffs is.

681
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: Short term pain for long term gain.

682
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: I suspect that you've heard some of that, even from

683
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: your constituents. What are some of the concerns that you're

684
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 4: hearing or does everyone seem to be optimistic there in

685
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 4: East Tennessee.

686
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 5: Well, everybody's optimistic, but they are concerned. You have car

687
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 5: dealers that are import car dealers. Now, I don't think

688
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 5: the good people at Porsche are going to immediately start

689
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 5: manufacturing into our country. So there there's got to be

690
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 5: some room there for us to work. But also they

691
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 5: got to be fair with us. You know, China, I

692
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 5: used to I don't own any individual stocks anymore, own

693
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 5: a mutual fund, as I've stated many times on your show.

694
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 5: But the I remember when Harley Davidson they went public

695
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 5: and then you know, and then I own stocking it

696
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 5: and I watched South China had brought we're bringing them

697
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 5: over there, and everybody thought, this is great, China's coming

698
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 5: to the table. And China didn't do anything by coming

699
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 5: to the table. They I wanted us to manufacture more

700
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 5: parts over there. They limited who we could sell to

701
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 5: with an a radius of their dealerships, and they had

702
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 5: to be members of the Communist Party. I mean it

703
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 5: was just crazy, the limitations. But that's what you got

704
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 5: to do if you want to be exposed to the

705
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 5: world's largest market. And we don't do that. We let

706
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 5: them come over here and they just run over us.

707
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, Japan dealing with Harley Davidson,

708
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 5: if you remember, Ronald Reagan put a tariff on the

709
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 5: thousand CC and above bikes because Japan was dumping them

710
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 5: into our economy and our gutless politicians allowed them to

711
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 5: do that, dumping them at a rate lower than we

712
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 5: could actually manufacture them. So all they were doing was

713
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 5: putting us out of business being able to manufacture anything.

714
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 5: And our politicians let them do that. And Ronald Reagan

715
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 5: stepped up in a bold move. I remember Willie G. Davidson,

716
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 5: the grandson of one of the founders. They said, they said,

717
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: Congress saved saved Harley Davidson. He said, no, Ronald Reagan

718
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 5: saved Harley Davidson. So tariffs can work in a very

719
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 5: positive manner. And yeah, you're right, there is going to

720
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 5: be some pain. There's going to need people. I was

721
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 5: talking to some people that own a liquor store, not

722
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 5: a drinker, but but they're in business and a legal

723
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 5: business in this country, I heavily regulated business. And they

724
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 5: were saying how that oversees the wine market, they have

725
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 5: a very thin margin, and how that's really going to

726
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 5: crush them when they have a fifty percent or one

727
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 5: hundred percent tariff. So those kind of things we better

728
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 5: take into consideration, all.

729
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 3: Right, Congressman. So I notice you've got on a ut shirt.

730
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 4: There's also not a whole lot of traffic, so I

731
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: know you're not pulled over on the side of Pennsylvania Avenue.

732
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: You must be back home in East Tennessee.

733
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 4: That's because Speaker Johnson sent many of you and your

734
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 4: colleagues home following that Big Anna, Paulina Anna, Paulina Luna.

735
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 4: I'm going to call it debacle for now. Let's start

736
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 4: the conversation here.

737
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 3: Your vote or your.

738
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: Thoughts on proxy votes, because that's really at the heart

739
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 4: of what.

740
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: We're dealing with right now.

741
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 4: There are a number of your colleagues who are you

742
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 4: that it's unconstitutional. Your position on proxy votes.

743
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: I don't like them.

744
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 5: I did never. I never asked anybody to vote for

745
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 5: me by proxy. I'm one of the few that has

746
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 5: our leadership. I think all I have you have some

747
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 5: members in our party that have voted twenty or thirty

748
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 5: times by proxy, and they're the ones yelling the most

749
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 5: about it being wrong and unconstitutional, yet they took full

750
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 5: advantage of it.

751
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 4: So I'm not.

752
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 5: Sure that a lot of those people have a leg

753
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 5: to stand on. And I think you have to understand

754
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 5: the way it's done. It's been described as this is

755
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 5: a tool of the minority, when in fact the Republics

756
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 5: they're in the majority. But if you remember last Congress,

757
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 5: Greg Stuby used this very same tool to do this.

758
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 5: Because what it is, the House of Representatives is the

759
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 5: people's House. And if you have a strong leader who says,

760
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 5: in fact, your bill is not going to get to

761
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 5: the floor, I'm not going to let it. I'm not

762
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 5: going to let it be hurting. Committee. You have the

763
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 5: right by rule to petition Congress if you get I

764
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 5: think it's two hundred and I can't remember two hundred

765
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 5: fourteen or so members.

766
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: To sign a petition.

767
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 5: It's called a discharge petition on the floor and you

768
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,959
Speaker 5: go sign it. And many of my colleagues on both

769
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 5: sides of the aisle signed it, of course, and it

770
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 5: just said that in fact, we want to vote on

771
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 5: the issue of allowing women to vote, and the reason

772
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 5: a lot of people, myself included, just out of principle.

773
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 5: We voted on this rule in Congress and I think

774
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 5: it passed unanimous. If not, maybe one person might have

775
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 5: voted against the whole package. But the very first day

776
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 5: of Congress we passed the rules, and this was in

777
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 5: the rule. And so how you use this rule?

778
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 4: Go ahead? I'm sorry, comes, I'm sorry, sorry to interrupt,

779
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 4: but I'm curious. I'm trying to make sense of this.

780
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: So your vote yesterday wasn't for proxy. Basically wasn't for

781
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 4: allowing proxy voting for women or men and women who

782
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 4: are new parents and who need twelve weeks or whatever

783
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 4: to take care of their child.

784
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: But was it more for the rule? Explain your vote yesterday?

785
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 6: Yeah?

786
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 5: Well, actually, I mean I go on both ways on that.

787
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 5: I think I think that there is an exception that

788
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 5: you make. We're the supposes to be the party of

789
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 5: family values. We've had fourteen now that cat Caammick is pregnant.

790
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 5: Fourteen members of Congress that have been pregnant. It's not,

791
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 5: like my wife said, it's not like a bunch of

792
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 5: bunch of the female members are going to run off

793
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 5: and get pregnant to get out of being in Congress now.

794
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 5: But I think it's an exception you can make because

795
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 5: it is different when the rules were originally written, when

796
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 5: our Constitution was signed. I mean, women weren't even do

797
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 5: in the right to vote until it was passed. Matter

798
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 5: of fact, I'm at Tennessee, and which his vote was

799
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 5: the reason that it that it actually passed. So uh,

800
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 5: it's there's a lot of things there that there's the

801
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 5: principle of the of the of the issue, and there's

802
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 5: there's the principle of the rule, and it was leadership's

803
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 5: decision to decide to attach that to all that other stuff.

804
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 5: They could have done an individual rule on just that

805
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 5: and it would have been voted up or down on

806
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 5: the floor. Yet they chose not to do that. They

807
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 5: chose to combine them all. And you know, it was

808
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 5: a matter of strategy, and and I don't think it

809
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 5: worked very well.

810
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 4: Congressman Tim Burcher will have to leave it there. Enjoy

811
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 4: your time home, even though you should be in Washington,

812
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 4: d C. But it is what it is, as the

813
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,960

Speaker 3: Well, folks, we've got.

821
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 4: More Americans with voice Live coming your way right after

822
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 4: this break FIGURETTE. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

823
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 4: is being run by its acting director right now, as

824
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 4: the man that President Trump tapped a head up the

825
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 4: agency saw his nomination withdrawn literally minutes before his confirmation hearing.

826
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 4: Joining me now to discuss is the director of Functional

827
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: Medicine for the Wellness Company, doctor Hadarilboz. Doc. Good to

828
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: see you.

829
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 3: How are you good to see you too.

830
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me here.

831
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 4: So what are some of your concerns if we can

832
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 4: just get right into this, about the recension of the

833
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 4: nomination and the impact that it's going to have on

834
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 4: medical freedom in this country.

835
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 9: So we're talking about doctor Weldon being not confirmed and

836
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 9: Susan Manara is being confirmed.

837
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 3: It's a little disconcerting.

838
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 6: To be honest.

839
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 9: I mean, I would have preferred that doctor Weldon would

840
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 9: have been nominated instead. Because he was very much a

841
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 9: line with RFK and it would have been better on

842
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 9: vaccines and you know, the looking into autism like he

843
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 9: was trying to do, and everybody debunked it, and it

844
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 9: really shouldn't be debunked. There so many studies showing the

845
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 9: correlation and we know that for a fact, for so

846
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 9: many reasons. But her being nominated, I mean, she was

847
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 9: pretty forgiving during COVID and I'm really hoping that she

848
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 9: would be a good team player should we have another outbreak,

849
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 9: and that she would look into the safety and bio

850
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 9: you know, pharmaceutical securities and upper canalysis if we have one.

851
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 9: Hopefully we don't have another one, but I really hope

852
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 9: she becomes and is a good team player and is

853
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 9: going to be aligned.

854
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 4: With RFK when it comes to issues of medical freedom.

855
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 4: What are some of the successes of the Trump I

856
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 4: administration so far in your view?

857
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, so, I feel like, you know, cutting away the

858
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 9: food dies first of all, that's a huge step in

859
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 9: our way in medical freedom and children's health and chronic.

860
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 2: Disease, which we've seen on the rise.

861
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 9: We have a lot of health crisis that we've seen

862
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 9: in the last several years from the you know, nutrition,

863
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 9: whether it's uh sky being sprayed, geoengineering, seed oils, toxines,

864
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 9: heavy metals, vaccines, mandatory vaccinations. Unfortunately, so we've seen so

865
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 9: much people in the health you know, with American and

866
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 9: worldwide really but mostly Americans. And so I feel like

867
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 9: they've really they're turning around, their sticking to what they're

868
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 9: saying they will do, and they are looking to you know,

869
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 9: they are banning already fluoride, also taking it out of

870
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 9: the water, banning hopefully seed oils down down the road,

871
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 9: banning food dye, is looking into baby formulas, really turning

872
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 9: around the health issue with what we're seeing now, and

873
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 9: when it comes to health reform, especially.

874
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 4: All of what you described really puts the United States

875
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 4: in its own category, if you will, because when you

876
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 4: look at Europe and really other countries around the world,

877
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 4: they don't have the additives that we've got in our

878
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 4: food supply.

879
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 3: What do you attribute to that?

880
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 4: And do you think that eventually, within say one administration,

881
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 4: we'll be able to get in line with the rest

882
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 4: of the world.

883
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 3: I sure hope.

884
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 9: So, I mean they are already banning, as I said,

885
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 9: food dies and food colorings in some of the cereals

886
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 9: and foods, especially in children's food. We know that our

887
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 9: food is definitely not aligned with European food. If you

888
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 9: take the same cereal, ours will have so many more

889
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 9: food colorings and additives and seed oils, whereas in Europe

890
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 9: you won't see that, and children there are much healthier.

891
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 9: Chronic diseasier has skyrocketed in the last we know.

892
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

893
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time.

894
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 4: We appreciate you being here with us, and we appreciate

895
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 4: you being here with us as well. Have a good

896
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 4: rest of the day, folks.

897
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 8: Thank
