Speaker 1: Native Land Pod is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership
Speaker 1: with Reason Choice Media.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 1: Welcome, Hello, everyone, Welcome to a special and said edition
Speaker 1: of Native Lamppod. I am your host, Angela Raie. Shout
Speaker 1: out to my host Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillim in
Speaker 1: their absence today, but you all will be hearing from them,
Speaker 1: I'm sure very soon. On some solo pods. We're trying
Speaker 1: something new where we are going to do a sidepod
Speaker 1: or a solo pod when there are issues that are
Speaker 1: so pressing that we just want to get in front
Speaker 1: of you and make sure that we're in community with
Speaker 1: you talking about what's going on. So we are on
Speaker 1: YouTube Live, and I want to talk to you all
Speaker 1: about this memo that came from Matthew J. Vase, the
Speaker 1: acting director of the Office of Management and Budget. Everyone
Speaker 1: is knowing is aware of this right now by the
Speaker 1: federal funding freeze, and let me tell you was not
Speaker 1: frozen your tax payments. They are still expecting your tax
Speaker 1: payer dollars to fund these initiatives. And I want to
Speaker 1: go into just briefly what this funding freeze is calling for.
Speaker 1: And first we make sure my laptop is plugged in
Speaker 1: so I don't lose y'all along the way. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We should talk about what Donald Trump actually has the
Speaker 1: power to do and the power that Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: going to test during his presidency. We will talk about
Speaker 1: what is at stake with this potential funding freeze, what
Speaker 1: is being asked of different agency heads, cabinet secretaries and officials, etc.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about the potential violation of the law.
Speaker 1: If there is time, we will get to a few
Speaker 1: other executive orders which also may be of importance. I'm
Speaker 1: telling our producer Lolo, I forgot to call her, so
Speaker 1: she should just make sure that she that she texts
Speaker 1: me just again there's anything she wants to flag. So
Speaker 1: I first want to just mention that we will be
Speaker 1: doing these lives pretty regularly, at least every Tuesday, so
Speaker 1: you will hear from us on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
Speaker 1: for sure. We're working through a Wednesday and Friday option
Speaker 1: as well. Now this is the memo. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: the memo we're looking at. This is from the Executive
Speaker 1: Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget Control,
Speaker 1: Management and Budget. Here's what you all need to know
Speaker 1: there is broad sweeping authority that omb. That's what Office
Speaker 1: of Management Budget has in this memo. The acting director,
Speaker 1: because Donald Trump's nominee has not yet been confirmed by
Speaker 1: the Senate, the person who will be confirmed by the
Speaker 1: Senate most likely is a man named Russ Vaut and
Speaker 1: he is a prior ob director. And it is very,
Speaker 1: very chilling. And let me tell you why. You know
Speaker 1: that podcast we did on what is Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: and you know how a lot of folks were blowing
Speaker 1: off this whole idea of Project twenty twenty five. Well,
Speaker 1: the thing is real and it was sworn in on
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King day, and he is controlled by many parts.
Speaker 1: This is Stephen Miller's White House. Donald Trump is not
Speaker 1: running this thing. His deputy chief of Staff for policy is.
Speaker 1: And you remember how Donald Trump tried to distance himself
Speaker 1: from Project twenty twenty five and he even put out
Speaker 1: his own thing, the Agenda forty seven. Right, Well, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. Project twenty twenty five is coming
Speaker 1: to fruition every single day. Russell Veout, who wrote the
Speaker 1: chapter about O ANDB and Project twenty twenty five, is
Speaker 1: who Donald Trump is seeking to confirm for O ANDB. Now,
Speaker 1: this is what I want to tell you that he
Speaker 1: says on page twenty, so you guys can fact check me, okay.
Speaker 1: On page twenty in Project twenty twenty five, they quote
Speaker 1: Russell Balt as saying O and B should establish a
Speaker 1: reputation as the keeper of Commander's intent. Yet O and
Speaker 1: B is dominated by career employees who often try to
Speaker 1: overrule political appointees serving in the various executive departments. Empowering
Speaker 1: political appointees across the administration is crucial to a president's success.
Speaker 1: Now what does that have to do with this federal
Speaker 1: funding freeze today? Well, this is putting the power back
Speaker 1: into the hands of Donald Trump's political appointees. So this
Speaker 1: is how this memo starts. Because a lot of you
Speaker 1: are reading the articles, but you aren't necessarily seeing what
Speaker 1: is in the actual document. So it's a short document.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to read the whole things, but there's
Speaker 1: a couple of points I want to share with you.
Speaker 1: It starts with the American people elected Donald J. Trump
Speaker 1: to be President of the United States and gave him
Speaker 1: a mandate to to increase the impact of every federal
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollar They go on to say that the federal
Speaker 1: government spends nearly ten trillion dollars, or the spent nearly
Speaker 1: ten trillion dollars in fiscal year twenty twenty four, and
Speaker 1: more than three trillion of that was for federal financial
Speaker 1: assistance such as grants and loans. They go on to
Speaker 1: kind of demonstrate why the loan money, why the grant
Speaker 1: money that has been spent in this three trillion dollar number,
Speaker 1: should be reviewed. This is what they say that I
Speaker 1: think is important for you all to know. Financial assistance
Speaker 1: should be dedicated to advancing administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars
Speaker 1: to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial
Speaker 1: burden of inflation for citizens. I think we generally agree
Speaker 1: with that, unleashing American energy and manufacturing. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: what they mean by unleash. There's an executive order for that,
Speaker 1: by the way, ending wokeness. We don't even say that
Speaker 1: no more, but ending wokeness and the weaponization of government.
Speaker 1: You know what they mean by that, Read between the lines.
Speaker 1: Also read the executive orders that support that language. Promoting
Speaker 1: efficiency in government. That's that DOGE entity that elon Musk
Speaker 1: is running and making America healthy again, which is where
Speaker 1: they hope to put RFK junior. So this is the thing.
Speaker 1: They go on to say, the use of federal resources
Speaker 1: to advance Marxist equity. Now, striving for equity, equality injustice
Speaker 1: is a Marxist concept. Transgenderism and Green New Deal social
Speaker 1: engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does
Speaker 1: not improve the day to day lives of those who
Speaker 1: we serve. They say, now, y'all, they have mastered weaponizing
Speaker 1: our language against us. The Green New Deal is to
Speaker 1: preserve the planet for folks who look like me and
Speaker 1: you a little longer. The Green New Deal is about
Speaker 1: ensuring that Flint has clean drinking water. They talk about transgenderism,
Speaker 1: we're talking about making sure that all humans have access
Speaker 1: to resources and the ability to survive, regardless of whatever
Speaker 1: identity you claim. And then Marxist equity again, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the policies that began to really take root and
Speaker 1: take hold after George Floyd was murdered on camera for
Speaker 1: nine minutes and thirty seconds, many of us thought, for
Speaker 1: the first time in our black lives, our brown lives,
Speaker 1: or indigenous lives, or whatever lives, maybe your white lives
Speaker 1: do that things were going to finally shift, that we
Speaker 1: were going to finally see justice served. And little do
Speaker 1: we know that it was a marketing ploy on behalf
Speaker 1: of many companies, including Target, that is now trying to
Speaker 1: dial back where George Floyd was killed. Imagine that, and
Speaker 1: entities that, including those in the federal government, weren't going
Speaker 1: to push this for too long. And now they're trying
Speaker 1: to blame our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion for
Speaker 1: why Democrats lost the election, because you know, justice should
Speaker 1: not be served for the least of these. And here's
Speaker 1: what I take real issue with with this particular executive memo.
Speaker 1: The people who will be hurt the most are the
Speaker 1: most vulnerable amongst us. They are the people who benefited
Speaker 1: greatly from a Trump check, right from that stimulus payment,
Speaker 1: from a STiMi. They are the folks who thought that
Speaker 1: they would get a second chance in this administration because
Speaker 1: that check meant so much. I understand it. But now
Speaker 1: some of the things that you rely on every single
Speaker 1: day to keep your lights on are now in harm's way.
Speaker 1: So what they say in the next part of this
Speaker 1: memo is that each agency must complete a comprehensive analysis
Speaker 1: of all of their federal financial assistance programs. They're requiring
Speaker 1: a temporary pause on all activities related to obligation or
Speaker 1: disbursement of all federal financial assistants this assistance. That means
Speaker 1: they're not cutting no checks right now. It's a temporary
Speaker 1: pause that was effective as of yesterday at five pm.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry today, and it is in effect until February tenth.
Speaker 1: So there may be things that you're waiting on. Maybe
Speaker 1: you were approved for a federal grant. Maybe you were
Speaker 1: approved for an SBA loan. Depending under depending on the
Speaker 1: criteria of that grant a loan, you could be in
Speaker 1: harm's way. So that is what I want to flag
Speaker 1: for you, Lolo, text me if there are any questions
Speaker 1: that come up along the way. Now, the other thing
Speaker 1: that I think is highly dangerous is it says in
Speaker 1: the paragraph this is the second page, This is the
Speaker 1: paragraph right above the bottom. It says that OMB may
Speaker 1: grant exceptions allowing federal agencies to issue new awards or
Speaker 1: take other actions on a case by case basis. What
Speaker 1: does that mean. That means that it is solely up
Speaker 1: to their discretion. That means that it is a super
Speaker 1: subjective standard. And the folks who rely on agency funding
Speaker 1: because they are one of a few, because they are
Speaker 1: a woman owned business or a minority owned business, or
Speaker 1: doing work that would impact black maternal health or some
Speaker 1: of the things. Some of my most important work that
Speaker 1: I'm the most proud of on Capitol Hill was helping
Speaker 1: to advance centers of excellence at HBCUs when I worked
Speaker 1: for the wonderful Congressman Thompson on the Homeland Security Committee.
Speaker 1: That funding is now all at risk. Right, there are
Speaker 1: centers of excellence in all types of industry and spaces
Speaker 1: and different interests. All of that is at risk. A
Speaker 1: lot of folks have been saying, we were just talking
Speaker 1: on our pre production call before we started about whether
Speaker 1: or not Snap benefits those EBT cards that folks used
Speaker 1: to buy food at the stores and to keep groceries,
Speaker 1: you know, in their homes, whether or not school lunches
Speaker 1: for kids would be impacted, whether or now affordable housing
Speaker 1: would be impacted. Well, here's the thing. This memo is
Speaker 1: super vague, talking about Marxist equity and green New deals,
Speaker 1: social engineering policies and all of that with intention, and
Speaker 1: some of you may be saying, well, how is this
Speaker 1: even legal? Right, Like, the executive branch doesn't necessarily get
Speaker 1: to govern? Is what is funded? Because the United States
Speaker 1: House and the Congress. Why is this the other It
Speaker 1: is the United States House Congress large has the obligation
Speaker 1: of controlling the purse strings. Let's go to why you
Speaker 1: all are saying that. In Article one, Section nine, clause seven,
Speaker 1: called the Appropriation's Clause in the Constitution States impertinent part,
Speaker 1: no money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in
Speaker 1: consequence of appropriations made by law, and a regular statement
Speaker 1: and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public
Speaker 1: money shall be published from time to time. Now, this
Speaker 1: is about governing what is contained in the United States Treasury.
Speaker 1: Nothing can be paid out of the treasury, according to
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Then let's see if they hold it
Speaker 1: now nothing, no money can be paid out of the
Speaker 1: treasury unless it has been appropriated by an Act of Congress. Now,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's administration is arguing something very interesting here. They
Speaker 1: are arguing that there may be a limitation on what
Speaker 1: can be spent, that is Congress's role, but that they
Speaker 1: can cut like there ain't no tomorrow under a doctrine
Speaker 1: that they call impoundment. So this means that they have
Speaker 1: control over cuts, but they don't have control of the
Speaker 1: spin of the purse strings. That is very, very dangerous,
Speaker 1: and it sounds like Donald Trump's administration is gonna go
Speaker 1: hard to try to push this doctrine all the way
Speaker 1: to a court battle to the Supreme Court. Now, this
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, the same one that decided that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: could not be civilly or criminally liable as a president,
Speaker 1: that he had civil and criminal immunity, sides with them
Speaker 1: on They can cut whatever they want as the executive branch,
Speaker 1: but they can't spin whatever they want. Y'all, we in danger.
Speaker 1: And that's what we really need to understand. This is
Speaker 1: a very very serious memo. This current acting O and
Speaker 1: B director is pushing to broaden its authority and to
Speaker 1: ensure that the only people that can make these decisions
Speaker 1: about a federal spind are Donald Trump's political appointees. And
Speaker 1: here's what I think is scariest about this. You guys,
Speaker 1: none of this is surprising if you read Project twenty five.
Speaker 1: We have got to stay informed, y'all. We can't. We
Speaker 1: can't keep getting caught on our heels about what's to come.
Speaker 1: Because people are not informed. We have to be informed. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is a nine hundred and twenty two page document.
Speaker 1: Yes it is imperative that you read it. Yes, you
Speaker 1: need to know that many of the people who Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has put in critical roles, including Stephen Miller, which
Speaker 1: again I would argue is running the White House. From
Speaker 1: the immigration ice raids to all of the attacks on DEI,
Speaker 1: all of that is Steven Miller's brainchild. That's not Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's thoughts. That is Steven Miller, and he had to
Speaker 1: have them back in the White House because there's no
Speaker 1: ability for Donald Trump to think this way without Steven Miller.
Speaker 1: He basically has seeded his entire presidency to Steven Miller.
Speaker 1: That is a very dangerous thing. If you look up
Speaker 1: who Steven Miller is, you'll understand why. So there is
Speaker 1: the other piece of this. You will also note that
Speaker 1: when you thumb through Project twenty five and you see
Speaker 1: who wrote these pieces, you're going to recognize some of
Speaker 1: the names. I challenge you all to take Project twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, the document, just the table of contents and
Speaker 1: who wrote each chapter and compare those names to who
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has nominated for positions in his cabinet and
Speaker 1: has put into the White House to work for him.
Speaker 1: You all will see a surprising number of similarities. And
Speaker 1: if you can see those similarities, you can go into
Speaker 1: those chapters and see that the executive orders and actions
Speaker 1: that have come out of this administration so far are
Speaker 1: no surprise at all. So those are the kinds of
Speaker 1: things that we need to be paying attention to right now.
Speaker 1: If you all don't have questions about Project twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five and this federal funding freeze, then I'll go on
Speaker 1: to another executive order. Okay, Lolo sent me. This does
Speaker 1: this freeze impact state level programs? Well, everything in every
Speaker 1: single agencies under review from the United States Department of Agriculture,
Speaker 1: the Department of Energy, USAID because they talked about global
Speaker 1: a global spend as well, the State Department, which oversees USAID,
Speaker 1: the Department of Commerce. Y'all remember the Minority Business Development
Speaker 1: Agency was challenged on its merits just last year with
Speaker 1: a Department of Treasury. Every single governmental agency SBA for
Speaker 1: those of you who have Small Business Administration loans that
Speaker 1: you may have just qualified for at risk. The Department
Speaker 1: of Transportation we have. You guys know, if you go
Speaker 1: into your airports at home, you're seeing a lot of construction.
Speaker 1: It is annoying, but we'll all be happy when it's done.
Speaker 1: There are these projects, these highways that are being built.
Speaker 1: Any dB disadvantaged business enterprise that is working on those projects,
Speaker 1: that's all under review now right depending on the grants
Speaker 1: and the loans that have been let. So everything is
Speaker 1: on the chopping block because of this very vague memo,
Speaker 1: and we need to be mindful of that. That is
Speaker 1: what is at stake. Somebody asked how this can be legal.
Speaker 1: I kind of just went through that. Hopefully what I've
Speaker 1: I've said makes sense. I will go through a little more.
Speaker 1: Just to backtrack a little bit on OMB. Some of
Speaker 1: you all might be like, I didn't get here in time.
Speaker 1: What is O and B. It's the Office of Management
Speaker 1: and Budget. Its responsibility is to prepare every year presidents
Speaker 1: introduce a budget. So you guys will see if for
Speaker 1: those of you who work on the hill, you see
Speaker 1: those huge binders. When I worked on the hill, we
Speaker 1: used to divide up the sections and be responsible for
Speaker 1: a section and analyze the sections of the various sections
Speaker 1: of the president's budget. Well, they send this huge document
Speaker 1: over by agency, line by line, how much money they're
Speaker 1: going to fund the federal government. The onb direct is
Speaker 1: responsible for pulling that physical year budget together and dispersing
Speaker 1: it to the Hill for approval through the appropriations process.
Speaker 1: They also oversee the implementation of the president's priorities across
Speaker 1: the executive branch, and most of the times what we say,
Speaker 1: what we've said on the Hill is you can tell
Speaker 1: what the president's priorities are based on how they choose
Speaker 1: to fund the federal government after we received the budget
Speaker 1: the Hill. Congress, the House is responsible for passing appropriations
Speaker 1: measures that has to be signed off or also passed
Speaker 1: in the Senate. Sometimes they don't agree and so there
Speaker 1: has to be what was called a reconciliation process, and
Speaker 1: then the agencies are funded based on what is appropriated. Now,
Speaker 1: again what I was saying earlier is they are challenging
Speaker 1: the president's authority to cut I think they're acknowledging on
Speaker 1: the spend that that has to go through Congress. Again,
Speaker 1: be clear about the fact that most of Congress has
Speaker 1: bought into this to this president's agenda. So those are
Speaker 1: you who are like well, it looks like SNAP benefits
Speaker 1: or the EBT cards might not be impacted, or kids'
Speaker 1: school lunches might not be impacted. What I would challenge
Speaker 1: you with is, every single year Republicans go after snap benefits,
Speaker 1: they try to cut them. I call the Congressional Black Caucus,
Speaker 1: and they are known to be the conscience of the Congress.
Speaker 1: Every year, that's a fight that they fight to ensure
Speaker 1: protection of those benefits. So that is what is at stake.
Speaker 1: And then you guys are asking what to do. The
Speaker 1: most important thing that I would give you right now
Speaker 1: is make sure you are reading. If we are reading ahead,
Speaker 1: I know it's stressful to be seeing all of these changes.
Speaker 1: You may have folks who've been impacted by the ice raids.
Speaker 1: You may have folks who you know just qualified for
Speaker 1: a federal loan who you're like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're going to get to keep that money, or a grant,
Speaker 1: a research granted a university. Right. That is so scary,
Speaker 1: But we cannot bury ourselves in fear. We have to
Speaker 1: stay alert, and the most important way we can do
Speaker 1: that is by reading what's in front of us. Projects
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five been written Heritage Foundation been on this
Speaker 1: for years and years and years. Go and look when
Speaker 1: you see the Koch Brothers Americans for Prosperity, and we
Speaker 1: hear about fiscal conservativism, conservatism, that is what it is.
Speaker 1: It is about finding ways to cut corners so that
Speaker 1: they can ensure the rich keep their tax cuts right.
Speaker 1: They don't ever have the money to increase minimum wage.
Speaker 1: They don't ever have the money to ensure that kids
Speaker 1: can have summer jobs. They don't ever have the money
Speaker 1: to ensure that centers of excellence are fully funded, or
Speaker 1: HBCUs and Hispanic serving institutions, the institutions, tribal colleges ever
Speaker 1: have the money that they deserve. But they can always
Speaker 1: find that dollar for war and for tax cuts. And
Speaker 1: that's what we're up against right now. So I implore
Speaker 1: you to read Project twenty twenty five. I implore you
Speaker 1: to pay attention to these memos. Don't just take and
Speaker 1: the executive orders and actions that are coming out. Don't
Speaker 1: just take my word for it, read it yourself. In
Speaker 1: the last paragraph of this memo, it talks about agencies
Speaker 1: having a responsibility to look into each financial assistance program
Speaker 1: in these three ways assign responsibility and oversight to a
Speaker 1: senior political appointee. Again, we know that that means that
Speaker 1: person thinks like Donald Trump. They are so concerned about
Speaker 1: career employees federal government employees that they haven't found you
Speaker 1: at yet. I implore you to stay and make sure
Speaker 1: that you are serving the people as you know it
Speaker 1: is your obligation to do. You might not have had
Speaker 1: to take an oath, but we have to make sure
Speaker 1: that we keep people in place who will tell the
Speaker 1: truth about what this administration is doing. We need whistleblowers
Speaker 1: to talk about everything that is happening so that we
Speaker 1: can better prepare. The second thing it says is review
Speaker 1: current pending fund currently pending federal financial assistance announcements to
Speaker 1: ensure administration priorities are adjusted, addressed, and subject to program
Speaker 1: statutory authority. Modify announcements, withdraw any announcements already published, and,
Speaker 1: to the extent permissible by law, cancel awards already awarded
Speaker 1: if they are in conflict with this administration's priorities. Now,
Speaker 1: that may not be legal, but it first has to
Speaker 1: be challenged. So right now, what this says is the
Speaker 1: law of the land until it is challenged, and until
Speaker 1: a federal court agrees with the more reasonable minds among us.
Speaker 1: And last, it says, ensure adequate oversight of federal financial
Speaker 1: assistance programs, initiate investigations when warranted, to identify underperforming recipients,
Speaker 1: and address identified issues, up to and including cancellation of awards. Y'all.
Speaker 1: They put us on notice. They put us on notice
Speaker 1: that as a five PM today, everything that the federal
Speaker 1: government funds that is under these very you know, ridiculous buckets,
Speaker 1: you know wokeness and the words that they used to
Speaker 1: make the American people afraid, transgenderism, Marxist equity, everything that
Speaker 1: they can squeeze into these buckets they will, and that
Speaker 1: is to create more funding capacity for the rich. So yeah,
Speaker 1: people are asking about what the course can do. Yes,
Speaker 1: this has to be challenged in court. And for the
Speaker 1: person that said it's just an audit, it is far
Speaker 1: more than an audit, my friend. These programs are being frozen.
Speaker 1: The funds are not going to go out. They say
Speaker 1: in here that they are trying to find if any
Speaker 1: programs that fit in those buckets that I've named theness,
Speaker 1: Marxist equity, transgenderism, Green New Deal, all of those are
Speaker 1: subject to cancelation. Why because they don't fit in with
Speaker 1: the current administration's priorities. That is what That is the
Speaker 1: language and the framework that they will use to cancel
Speaker 1: the programs. So for those of you who work in
Speaker 1: the federal government, for those of you who have federal funding,
Speaker 1: I am suggesting that you figure out a way to
Speaker 1: ensure that your programs do not fall within that framework.
Speaker 1: So if you are advancing opportunities for the underserved, you
Speaker 1: better find some new language. If you are ensuring that
Speaker 1: the climate is safe and that climate change doesn't completely
Speaker 1: take us out, you better find some new language. These
Speaker 1: people ain't come to play, and they told us what
Speaker 1: they were going to do in a whole nine hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty two page manual, So we got to get
Speaker 1: on it. Well, I've been on for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: I went on pretty quickly, and that doesn't leave me
Speaker 1: any time to go through these executive orders. What I
Speaker 1: would urge you to do is make sure that you subscribe.
Speaker 1: This content will be just for subscribers soon, and then
Speaker 1: if you don't follow us on social media, make sure
Speaker 1: you do at Native Land Pod. Native lamdpod has information
Speaker 1: on other executive orders. We're going to keep you informed.
Speaker 1: As we get information, we'll share it. What we don't
Speaker 1: know will tell you. We don't know. Again, I don't
Speaker 1: know if SNAP or some of these housing programs will
Speaker 1: be impacted, but I promise you will be following it closely.
Speaker 1: We have your back, you all know. But then NLP
Speaker 1: we say all the time, welcome home, and we mean
Speaker 1: that this is your safe space. It's a safe space
Speaker 1: for us. We thank you for giving us that safe space.
Speaker 1: And what I can tell you is you are not alone.
Speaker 1: We are in this together and we will get through it.
Speaker 1: Our people have experienced so much more difficulty in the past,
Speaker 1: and we don't want to go back. We know we
Speaker 1: don't want to go back. Many of us voted to
Speaker 1: not go back. But this is where we are now.
Speaker 1: We've got to accept where we are in order to
Speaker 1: change it. So let's get to work. Our first obligation
Speaker 1: is to stand forms and whatever ideas you come up
Speaker 1: with sharing with us. We take videos for our shows
Speaker 1: every week. I would encourage you if you have questions
Speaker 1: about the executive orders or this memo that came from OMB,
Speaker 1: send those in. LOLO takes them on DM at Native
Speaker 1: lampod we'll get those videos. Tell us your name and
Speaker 1: where you're from. We'll get them uploaded for our show
Speaker 1: tomorrow that we record that drops on Thursday. Please please
Speaker 1: please stay in the loop with us. We want to
Speaker 1: hear from you. Our platform is yours too, and we
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear from you all. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for tuning in. Thank you for all of your questions,
Speaker 1: and please let me know if if there's any other
Speaker 1: questions you have. I know we only got to one
Speaker 1: executive order. I'm sorry, but I have so much to
Speaker 1: say and this was a new one, so there are
Speaker 1: others coming. If you guys want to keep hearing this
Speaker 1: content and keep engaging in this way, we will do that.
