1 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: Well, folks, welcome back this continuing resolution. This spending bill 2 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: that we called out as a piece of garbage last 3 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: night is now on the ropes. I would thank all 4 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: of you out there for raising the alarm about this, 5 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: and i'd also thank President Trump and his team. 6 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: They don't like it. Why don't they like it? 7 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: Fifteen hundred pages Apparently there's at least one hundred billion 8 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: dollars in new spending, not even kick the can down 9 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: the road spending. This is like literally new spending in Washington. 10 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a stopgap to get us to 11 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: President Trump's next term. 12 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: Instead it's a wish list for not. 13 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: Just Democrats, but Republicans as well. So inside this massive 14 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: piece of legislation, do you believe these members of Congress? 15 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: And again, this was supposed to be a simple yes 16 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: or no, should we continue spending until we get President 17 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: Trump in? 18 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: Instead they added everything to this. Do you know what's 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: in this? A pay raise for members of Congress. 20 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: Members of Congress hadn't had a pay raise in fifteen years, 21 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: But this takes away blocking a cost of living increase 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: that has been blocked for the last fifteen years. It 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: would give them a massive pay race. Members of Congress 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: could also opt out of Obamacare. Wouldn't it be nice 25 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: if all of us could opt out of Obamacare again, 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: members of Congress here making themselves into special classes of people. 27 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: And you know how I feel about special classes of people. 28 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: I don't like it. 29 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: So President Trump, Elon Musk, Avek Ramaswami, jd Vance, they. 30 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: All say kill the bill. 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: President Trump directly saying no Democrat giveaways. This bill is 32 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: totally filled with all of them. Elon Musk even said, hey, 33 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: shut down the government. Tell what January twentieth, when President 34 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: Trump takes over and he could get sworn in and 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: we get a Republican Congress and a Republican Senate in place. 36 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: Tim Burchett, our friend, just on last night, spelled it 37 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: out like. 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 3: This, the CR which is a big bloadd monstrosity that 39 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: everybody is pulling off of, and everybody cut a deal, 40 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 3: and the deal just got too big. I told you 41 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: all from the ginning out was against it. And so now. 42 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 4: They'll try to pass what was called a clean CR. 43 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 4: But you got to remember a continued resolution of clean CR. 44 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: It's just a continuation of the bad spending policies that 45 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: Pelosi and Schumer put in during COVID. 46 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: So I think in a perfect world we would stand 47 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: firm and make them make cuts. But I don't think 48 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I'm okay with limping in a 49 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: clean cr because I think you get that passed very easily, 50 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: but not drawn out until March. Make Congress work right 51 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: away January twenty first, Okay, that's what it should be 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: funded through. Make them work up until then. President Trump 53 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: is wielding great power. You could see the power he 54 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: already has it in Washington. 55 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: Between him and. 56 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, they're like the District of Columbia avengers here, 57 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: I mean, all of a sudden, giving everybody the will 58 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: to fight. 59 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: And now this bill may be dead here Senator John Thune. 60 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 5: Tweets from Musk and as that complicated this. 61 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think that there's always a. 62 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: Lot of interest in what's happening up here, and this is. 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: More than interest. 64 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: They're telling people if they vote yes, they should be 65 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: voted out. 66 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 6: The social media world is a part of our politics, and. 67 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 7: I think the numbers have to expect that, and there'll 68 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 7: be a lot of hard votes in the next couple 69 00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 7: of years. 70 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. He is a swamp creature. He 71 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: may be a nice guy, but he's a swamp creature. 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: And the reality is, they hate people like Elon. 73 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: Musk and the vek Ramaswami. They hate people like me. 74 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: They hate people like you that take to social media 75 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: and call out all the nonsense, call out all the 76 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: bloated spending, call out the road to destruction, which is 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: what we're on if we'll continue on this path. 78 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 2: So a guy like John Thune. 79 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Hates when Elon Musks speaks some common sense. Now here's 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: what's happening. President Trump once again is giving members of 81 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: Congress the. 82 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: Will to fight. Did you notice when he left office 83 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: the last. 84 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Time around, everybody just went silent. Everybody just turned into 85 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: limp little flowers. Well, all of a sudden, now President 86 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: Trump now takes heat. He stands in the gap, but 87 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: he gives everybody a will to fight. And so now 88 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: they know they better get with the program. Tim Burchett 89 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: literally spells out exactly what's going on again here. 90 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: They'll cut all the garbage out of there, the pay 91 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: raises and all this other stuff, and then they'll pass 92 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: the c R and all these people who claim they're 93 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 3: big doge people, which aren't. 94 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: We'll go home and say, look, we stopped that horrible spending. 95 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 3: Bill, and now we've got a great you know, we 96 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: had a great thing, which is still a terrible thing. 97 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: Wouldn't have been nice if they were there before President 98 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: Trump and Elon Musk had. 99 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: To speak up. That's all. 100 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: I want to see some cajones from our members of Congress. 101 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: We put them there with a mandate so citizens are 102 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: fed up with the garbage going through the fifteen hundred pages. 103 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: It's going to take all of you out. 104 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: There to read it, because I promise you every congressman 105 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: can't read fifteen hundred pages in just forty eight hours. Well, 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: this gentleman, John Harold found a provision in here that 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: really makes me sick. Apparently it looks like the legislation 108 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: they wanted to pass would squash outside third party subpoenas 109 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: of men Members of Congress's electronic communications. 110 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: So they're emails and the like. 111 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: It means if a third party subpoena came in, they're 112 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: making it law that they. 113 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: Don't have to comply by it. Listen to him spell 114 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: it out. 115 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 8: And it came across this in section six oh five 116 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 8: Title six Treatment of Electronic Services provided four House Offices. 117 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: I thought it was a little weird. 118 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 8: So so this allows any House member who gets their 119 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 8: emails subpoena, let's just again hypothetically by a grand jury 120 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 8: to quash that subpoena pretty much, no questions asked. Says 121 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 8: here that is insane. 122 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: It's absolutely insane. You know what I worry about is again, 123 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: members of Congress aren't above the law. They're no better 124 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: than all of us. If there's a federal investigation, let's 125 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: hope it's not a politicized one, but if there's a 126 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: federal investigation into legitimate allegations, well, their emails are public record. 127 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: Now you're going to squash their emails. 128 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: What is this due to a J six investigation, to 129 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: an investigation into the J six sham committee members? 130 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 2: They're gonna squash emails coming out that way? I don't know. 131 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: The whole thing smells fishy. 132 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: So they need to stop acting like swamp creatures. They 133 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: need to get with the program, stop bowing down to 134 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: Democrats once and for all. 135 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: Congress and Ralph Borman, I. 136 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 9: Think if we're going to continue, and I just said this, 137 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 9: we're going to continue to. 138 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 5: Let the Democrats use the shut the government down. 139 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 9: I dare you if we're going to continue to capitulate, 140 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 9: we're gonna be in the same box. 141 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 10: Now. 142 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 11: It's the time the American. 143 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: People spoke seventy six million of them and gave us 144 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: a clear signal. I promise you right, we don't have 145 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 2: to worry about it. 146 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Shut it down till January twentieth would maybe do us 147 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: some good. Remember, just about everything runs and people get 148 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: all their back pay back. 149 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: So I don't think it's so bad. 150 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: Now. You want to talk about fighters. It's no coincidence. 151 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: The people you see on this. 152 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: Program over and over and over again. 153 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: Are constant fighters up there, from Ralph Norman and Burchett 154 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: and Bobird and Marjorie Taylor Green. 155 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: Oh, Marjorie Taylor Green.

You know, 200 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 13: they waited until Wednesday night to release the to release 201 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 13: the text, and then we found it was fifteen one 202 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 13: hundred pages, fifteen hundred and forty nine pages long, and 203 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 13: there's so many little provisions in there that are big 204 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 13: wins for Democrats. They was a big pharma win. I mean, 205 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 13: big pharma is dancing in the streets for this bill 206 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 13: because it goes after the pharmacy benefit managers that negotiate 207 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 13: against pharmaceutical companies trying to bring prices down, and it 208 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 13: decaps that effort so big pharma can charge a lot 209 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 13: more and make a lot more money. There's a lot 210 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 13: of pork and boondoggles in this thing. And I'm so 211 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 13: grateful for the. 212 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: American people. 213 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 13: For Elon Musk and Ramaswami and even and President Trump 214 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 13: for chiming in and calling this what it is, which 215 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 13: is a piece of garbage. And I'm glad that it's 216 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 13: not going to pass. 217 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: It seems to me, Congressman, that that was really the 218 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: difference maker here, that we had the youth I'll call 219 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: them the usual suspects, Marjorie Taylor, Green Birchett, now yourself, 220 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: and Norman and all these guys Andy Biggs that say, hey, 221 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: enough is enough here. As soon as President Trump says that, 222 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the bill's killed and everything's done. 223 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm glad he's back, But why do people 224 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: not have a backbone up. 225 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: There without President Trump. 226 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 13: There's so few people that are up here for the 227 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 13: right reason. Sadly, a lot of people did not come 228 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 13: up here to save this country. They don't have the 229 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 13: political will to try to make the cuts that are 230 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 13: necessary or to say no at times. And we need 231 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 13: people that have the boldness to say no to all 232 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 13: the reckless spending and all the requests. And it's not 233 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 13: popular sometimes, you know, I'll tell you being up here 234 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 13: and being part of the Freedom Caucus and somebody that 235 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 13: votes the way I do and says what I say, 236 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 13: I don't get invited all the cool parties. I don't 237 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 13: get you know, all the money showered on me from 238 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 13: lobbyists on K Street. I'm not you know. That's but 239 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 13: that's that's not why I came up here. I came 240 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 13: up here to save this country. And there are a 241 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 13: handful of us, like Marjorie and like Tim Burchett that 242 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 13: are that are here for that reason. And what's great 243 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 13: is we have a president that has this, has the 244 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 13: same attitude, and we have Elon and by Beck who 245 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 13: are coming up that are going to put have a 246 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 13: stick if you will. Their their threat. That tweet that 247 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 13: went out that Elon put out that said members who 248 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 13: vote for this should not will will be primary to, 249 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 13: will not. 250 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: Return in two years. 251 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 13: That sent a chill through through the halls of Congress, 252 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 13: and it's it's exactly what's going to need to be done. 253 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 2: Well, certainly people took it seriously. 254 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: So let's strategize now, Congress and Burlison, what would you 255 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: like to see happen between now and hopefully we can 256 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: get you home for Christmas. 257 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: What would you like to see happen. 258 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 13: Well, I'd love to see happen us past the twelve 259 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 13: appropriation bills, which is what our job was to do. 260 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 13: But the Speaker and this system is designed to put 261 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 13: everything into one package. So if he's going to do it, 262 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 13: then I think that what they're working on as a 263 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 13: continued resolution. As Tim Burchett said, I still am not 264 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 13: going to support a continued resolution that's clean because you're 265 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 13: extending all the horrific programs and expenditures that we currently have. 266 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 13: But I think that that's on the table for Johnson. 267 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,479 Speaker 13: That's what I understand they're exploring. 268 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: So I know President Trump and his truth that he 269 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: put out also said raise the debt ceiling. It's surprised 270 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: to me now his political maneuver is it's going to 271 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: get raised most likely raise it on Joe Biden's watch, 272 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: not on his watch. But I'd love to use it 273 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: as a tool to cut spending and not have to 274 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: get to this debt ceiling. 275 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 13: Again, I agree, and I think that I think that 276 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 13: what we can do is in the reconciliation bill that 277 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 13: the first one that comes up. I think Trump politically 278 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 13: is worried about the debt ceiling being raised because he's 279 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 13: going to have to ask Democrats to help him get 280 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 13: that done. And I think that he's worried about what 281 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 13: Chuck Schumer is going to is going to demand or 282 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 13: get out of that. So if we can, I think 283 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 13: Trump his goal is to raise it now, but you can. 284 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 13: You can achieve the same thing if we can raise 285 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 13: it in the reconciliation bill along with cuts. Right, So 286 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 13: if we're making significant cuts, if we're cutting the debt, 287 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 13: the budget and significantly, then you're going to see conservatives 288 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 13: like me. I'm a fiscal conservative, and if we get 289 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 13: significant spending, I might even vote for that. 290 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, it's about an end goal. Sometimes it's not 291 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: pretty high you get there, but right now, the way 292 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: Washington operates, there's no end goal but totally bust, broke 293 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: down and out, and that's where our country's headed. Which 294 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: you think they'd get the message here? Last question for 295 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: you this issue with Speaker Johnson. I know the guy's 296 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: a nice guy, right, but I don't think nice guys 297 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: play well as Speaker of the House. You got to 298 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: have some mean and grint to you. This isn't working. 299 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: Where do you stand on Speaker Johnson. 300 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 13: You know I'm gonna I'm not going to commit to 301 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 13: how I'm going to vote, but I will say I 302 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 13: like him as an individual. I think he can do better, 303 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 13: and I think that he's quick to learn from some 304 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 13: of the mistakes that he's made, but he definitely can 305 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 13: do better. 306 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I'll give him this. 307 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: It's not easy being Speaker of the House with a 308 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: slim majority like this, but you make a few promises 309 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: that are pretty darn easy to keep. 310 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: Give you time to read the bill. 311 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: Let's go to appropriations bills and these very simple things that. 312 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: Can be done, and they're not at opening. We'll keep 313 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: an eye on it for you, though. 314 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: Missouri Congressman Eric Burleson, I so appreciate you coming on. 315 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: Thank you. I can't wait to get you back on 316 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: soon too. 317 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 11: Thank you anytime. 318 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely, we appreciate you. 319 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: And you know, look, I saw him and I said, hey, 320 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: there's a guy I haven't heard from really before. I'm 321 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: getting a lot of publicity. Let's get him on because 322 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: that's a new fresh voice. And we get more new 323 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: fresh voices. Things start to change in Washington. Here's why 324 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: we need to change things in Washington. There's a report 325 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: out from Open the Books. Do you know you worked 326 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: for just three years for the federal government as a 327 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: federal employee, You're averaging about forty four days off now 328 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: nine weeks after three years vacation nine weeks. 329 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: This is insanity. The private worker in. 330 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: America today average is about fifty four thousand dollars a year. 331 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: Do you know how much the average worker for the 332 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: federal government averages, Well, at least in one hundred and 333 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: nine out of one hundred and twenty five agency over 334 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars. That's double the average American worker. 335 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: And you wonder why the federal government is going broke? Now, 336 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: how about this? What about mystery employees and locations? 337 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: Says Grant. What are you talking about mystery employees? 338 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: Well, in twenty sixteen, there were twenty three hundred government 339 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: employees that were redacted. We didn't know what their salaries were, 340 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: we didn't know where they worked secretive. 341 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: Okay, maybe there was a reason for it, I don't know. 342 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: But by twenty twenty two, thanks to Barack Obama, that 343 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: number has grown to three hundred and fifty thousand secret employees. 344 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: We don't know how much they're paid. We don't know how 345 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: much they're worth. 346 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: It could be as much as thirty six billion dollars 347 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: hidden from the American taxpayer. 348 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: In these salaries. And here's the kicker. 349 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: No one apparently in the federal government actually shows up 350 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: to work. 351 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: Roland cut fourteen, cut fourteen. 352 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 11: Asians capitals go town. 353 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 14: So only six percent of the federal workforce are in 354 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 14: person full time, one third of workers are home full time, 355 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 14: and then there are others in between on a hybrid basis. 356 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 14: So before the pandemic, only three percent worked remotely daily. 357 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 11: Now we're at thirty three percent. 358 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. Elon Musk doesn't like this 359 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: at all. Nobody with common sense does well. Joining me now, 360 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: investigative journalists from Open the Books. 361 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: Jeremy Portnoy is with this. Jeremy, it's good to see you. 362 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 363 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 11: Good to see you too, Grant. 364 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 1: All right, this goes on and on and on. I mean, 365 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: I only read a few things from your report. But 366 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: the money wasted, the secrecy, I guess it's par for 367 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: the course. Did you have any takeaways from this investigation 368 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: you guys conducted. 369 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think the biggest statistic here, like you already said, 370 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 15: only six percent of federal employees that are coming to 371 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 15: the office every single day full time in person. So 372 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 15: that means we're paying for office pace that they're just 373 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 15: not using. The Department of Energy was one of the 374 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 15: craziest examples we found. They've got a two million square 375 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 15: foot office they're renting out. On an average day, there's 376 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 15: eight people in the entire building. 377 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, all right, So I was torn 378 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 2: on this. 379 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: So for many of you out there are new to 380 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: the program, I'm a small business owner. 381 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: I had trucking companies. I had oil change and. 382 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: Auto care shops, and you know, I'm always working the 383 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: expenses versus my revenue. If you're stay at home and 384 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: don't have the office space, well now I don't need 385 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: an office. I'm cutting expenses. But they're staying home and 386 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: having the office. That makes absolutely no sense. 387 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 11: Jeremy right. 388 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 15: A lot of what we found is that these employees 389 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 15: are getting paid bonuses for working in person even though 390 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 15: they're not actually doing it. 391 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 11: It's a bookkeeping error. 392 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 15: They're getting bonuses for working in a city with the 393 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 15: high cost of living like Washington, d C. But then 394 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 15: we found that they're actually living two thousand miles away 395 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 15: from Washington, d C. And rarely, if ever comes to 396 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 15: the office and keep collecting these bonuses regardless. 397 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: How are they getting forty four days off after only 398 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: three years of work? 399 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 15: I mean, it's just a generous federal contracts, right, and 400 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 15: that's typical for any level of government, local, state, federal. 401 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 15: Doesn't sound like it should be, but it is generous, 402 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 15: paid time off, generous sick leave. I mean, not that 403 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 15: those things shouldn't be included with any employment contracts, but 404 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 15: you know, if you're working for the government, you're serving 405 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 15: the people, and those things should be dulled out at 406 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 15: the same rate that they are in the private sector. 407 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: All Right, what's been the reaction from lawmakers? Do you 408 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: take this study to any of them, try to invoke 409 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: some change. We've got this budget battle going on, as 410 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: we just talked about. What's the reaction from Capitol Hill. 411 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 15: Yeah, we've been working on this with Senator Joni Earns. 412 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 15: She's been a big help. She's introduced what she's calling 413 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 15: the Remote Act, So that would require federal agencies to 414 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 15: monitor what all these remote employees are actually doing on 415 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 15: their computers during the day, make sure they're working efficiently 416 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 15: and conduct some studies to see if they should get 417 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 15: back into the office. Trump saw these numbers, he said 418 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 15: he's going to fire every single person that doesn't reports 419 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 15: to the office. I don't know how realistic that is, 420 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 15: but he definitely seems to be taking the issue seriously. 421 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: I had read that Joe Biden signed a contract with 422 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: some of these workers' unions that lock them into this 423 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: not have to work in the office for like five years. 424 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 11: Right exactly as he's leaving office. 425 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 15: It's about forty nine thousand workers now that have signed 426 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 15: a deal to work remoly until twenty twenty nine, when 427 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 15: Trump is going to be leaving office. So that's kind 428 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 15: of what sparked some of that outru just Trump where 429 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 15: he's saying he's going to start firing people, But that 430 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 15: deal seems pretty locked in and secure. It's going to 431 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 15: be now in the new administration to see if they 432 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 15: can get more workers to get back into the office. 433 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 2: The question will be can Trump back them out of 434 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: that contract. 435 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's hard to do. If anybody could do what 436 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: President Trump can. But I'm grateful for the investigative work 437 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: that you do. Jeremy Portnoy and the folks that open 438 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: the books. It's eye opening. Nobody in government's really doing this. 439 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: Thankfully you guys, are we appreciate. 440 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: You coming on today. 441 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 11: Yeah, we appreciate your support. 442 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: Grant absolutely, buddy.

Do you know Canada now, after President Trump's 474 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: threat of tariffs, is now vowing to spend a billion 475 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: dollars on border security, border security that would protect America. 476 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: This is what we need. This is what leadership really 477 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: is now. This is also having a negative effect on 478 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau, because Justin Trudeau came out the other day 479 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: and he basically slammed President Trump after meeting with him. 480 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: Cut four. 481 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 10: Just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for 482 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 10: a second time to not elect its first woman president. Everywhere, 483 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 10: women's rights and women's progress is under attack, overtly and subtlely. 484 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 10: But I want you to know that I am and 485 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 10: I always will be a proud feminist, you will always 486 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 10: have an ally in me and in my government. 487 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: No, no, no, you're not a proud feminist. You're proud 488 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: to be feminine, is what you are. And people are 489 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: fed up with his nonsense. They really really are. You know, 490 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: he's so concerned with this woke garbage he's forgetting about 491 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: people are having a hard time surviving in Canada, just 492 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: like Biden, the are economies not doing great up there. Well, 493 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: this is one woman who's had enough of Trudeau. 494 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 12: Canadian citizen, you've sold us out to globalism. You are 495 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 12: not working for Canada. You are working for your globalist partners. 496 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 2: I wonder how. 497 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 12: Much they're paying you to betrade Canada. What do we 498 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 12: do with traders in Canada, mister Trudeau? We used to 499 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 12: hang them, hang them for treason, and you're doing that 500 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 12: very same thing to us now. 501 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: Calls treason. Iss. It's hard stuff. 502 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of momentum right now to try to 503 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: get him to step down. 504 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 2: What does all this mean for America? I want to 505 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: bring in now. 506 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: Senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Border Security and 507 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: Immigration Center, Simon Hankinson, is with us. 508 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: Simon's great to have you on the program. 509 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 11: Thanks for having me, all. 510 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: Right, Simon. 511 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: So a lot of people tune the story out. It's Canada, 512 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: it is what it is. But what does this mean 513 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: for us? Where would you like to see things play out? 514 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: What would be the best for America? 515 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 6: Well, Canada is our think biggest trading partner. We're talking 516 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 6: about trillion dollars a year almost you know, we need 517 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 6: to have a good relationship with this country. But as 518 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 6: you said, for ten years they've been led by this 519 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 6: Liberal party and justin Trudeau that's kind of gone further 520 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 6: and further down the woke road. They're suffering from some 521 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 6: of the same problems we are. They've had massive immigration 522 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 6: in the past ten years, almost uncontrolled. About a half 523 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 6: a million people came in last year, and their population 524 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 6: of students and temporary workers is about seven percent of 525 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 6: the entire population. 526 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 11: So Trudeau's backs against the wall. 527 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 6: He absolutely has to call an election by October, and 528 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 6: I very much doubt he'll last that long. 529 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: You know, one of Canada's issues is they let people in, 530 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: kind of like the CBP one app that Biden has concocted, 531 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: but they let people in, and they had a real 532 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: problem with people coming from terror torn countries. 533 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: Those terrorists easily could be sneaking into. 534 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: America, I think, which is why as in Trump put 535 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: the screws to Trudeau and Canada saying, hey, shut that 536 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: border down. 537 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 14: Yeah. 538 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 6: I've been up there to the Canadian border in New 539 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 6: York State not so long ago. 540 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: We're talking about four to five thousand. 541 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 6: Miles, depending on how you count all the lakes and 542 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 6: coasts and stuff. And it's pretty much flat and entirely. 543 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 11: Undefended for almost all of that. 544 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 6: And last year there was something like twenty three thousand 545 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 6: people caught coming south from Canada into the US. 546 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 11: These are not Canadians. 547 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 6: These or people from India, from Africa, from all over 548 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 6: the world. And they were like a thousand people caught 549 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 6: going north into Canada, and it's very difficult to stop them. 550 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 6: The Canadians are going to spend you mentioned about a 551 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 6: billion dollars. That's over six years. It's not a lot 552 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 6: of money, it's not a lot of border guards and 553 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 6: dogs and drones and helicopters. It'll make some difference, but 554 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 6: the task is really quite extraordinary given the size of 555 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 6: that of that topography. 556 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell people going all the way back to two 557 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 1: thousand and one. After September eleventh, I did just what 558 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: you were talking about. I hyped up to the hiked 559 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: around the Canadian New York border. 560 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 2: Nobody, I mean. 561 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: There's no you can cross in and out, and I'm 562 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: sure it appears to be the same situation going on 563 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: there now. So the question now becomes, Simon is if 564 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: Trudeau steps down, who leads Canada? How does that play out? 565 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: Is there any move to the right in that country? 566 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 6: Well, right now, the conservative part of the opposition is 567 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 6: about twenty points up in the polls against Trudeau's party, 568 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 6: the Liberals, So the odds are very strong that this party, 569 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 6: led by a man called Pierre Poitiere, is going to 570 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 6: run Canada at least in October and probably sooner. And 571 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 6: they're a conservative party, you know, by American standards, not 572 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 6: as a conservative as the Republicans are now under Donald Trump, 573 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 6: but definitely going to be much tougher on border and 574 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 6: immigration and probably trade, and hopefully more in favor of 575 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 6: free speech and less wokery than the current government. 576 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: Well, Pierre that you talk about, he's been a big, 577 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: outspoken critic of Trudeau and of course a lover of 578 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: freedom here's a clip of him talking about where he'd like. 579 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 2: To see his country go. 580 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 17: A country where people are proud again to fly the flag, 581 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 17: where they know the government is a servant and not 582 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 17: a master, where they understand that every day the commons 583 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 17: this place works for the common people, not for the 584 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 17: ego of one man desperate. 585 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 4: To cling on to his job. 586 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 17: We must remember that we are servants in this place. 587 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: We have a. 588 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 17: Job to do on behalf of the people who sent 589 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 17: us here. 590 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: I love it. 591 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: He could come to work for Real America's Voice, probably 592 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: the Aeronest Foundation too. 593 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 2: Simon. 594 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 11: He's a very impressive speaker. 595 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 6: If you google a Pierre Poi ever eating an apple. 596 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 6: He once just took down a reporter in this most 597 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 6: incredible interview. Well, he's just very calmly eating an apple, 598 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 6: And I think that's the kind of cool that we 599 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 6: need under fire President Trump.

We know that illegal immigration has had 679 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: a negative effect on this country in so many ways. 680 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 2: Crime is one of them. 681 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: Remember that apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, trend dear Agua 682 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: taken over, wreaking havoc and stealing fear in the residence there. 683 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: Over a dozen gang members arrested in that complex this week. 684 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: Why for kidnapping and torturing residents in that complex. 685 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 2: This is the police chief. 686 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 5: They were accosted by approximately thirteen to fifteen armed individuals. 687 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 5: Thirteen of those were males and three of those were 688 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 5: possibly females at this time, it's what we're thinking. They 689 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 5: were taken to an adjoining apartment complex against their will 690 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 5: at that same Dallas complex and they ended up at 691 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 5: one two six ' eight Dallas. Again, this is the 692 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 5: same complex, same area. The victims were held against their will. 693 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 5: They were actually bound, both the male and the female. 694 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 5: They were pistol whipped, they were beat they were victimized, 695 00:34:59,000 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 5: they were terrorized. 696 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: So, folks, guess what is on the way right now? 697 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: Another group of them.

This is a brand new caravan headed for 700 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: the United States, knowing that come January twentieth, it all 701 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: gets shut down. The race to put your name on 702 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: that CBP one app is on well. Joining me now 703 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: from Tijuana, Mexico. Real America's voice correspondent who shot that video, 704 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: Oscar Ramirez, is back with us. 705 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 2: Good evening, Oscar, welcome. 706 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 4: Back, Grant. Is always an honor to be with you. 707 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 4: Thanking for the invitation, all right. 708 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: So, honestly I almost thought we were done with these caravans. 709 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 2: Not so much. Huh. 710 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 19: Well, the thing about it is what we have been 711 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 19: talking about, Grant, that we said this there are is 712 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 19: going to get exacerbated in the last days before Donald 713 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 19: Trump becomes president. Now, this is the eighth caravan that 714 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 19: has left since the new president will make equal cloudl 715 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 19: and Shane Bawn House taken power. All the seven caravans 716 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 19: that they have left before the seven of them have 717 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 19: been dismantled into little groups and a lot of them 718 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 19: they have been processed into this CVP one app that 719 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 19: is still continuing. And until Donald Trump becomes president, it 720 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 19: won't be eradicated and eliminated, you know, that is what 721 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 19: they're saying. But ultimately, until this point, Grant, another caravan 722 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 19: has left us out of the border. Fifteen hundred individuals, 723 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 19: the majority men from Central America and South America and 724 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 19: the efforts and the essence to try to make it 725 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 19: into the northern borders and try it to cross illegally 726 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 19: CVP one app whatever is the case, Grant, they are 727 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 19: trying to make a run for it before January twentieth, Oscar. 728 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: So the one group we're looking at is one caravan. 729 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 1: You're telling me there's another one that's fifteen hundred people 730 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: large on the way now. 731 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 4: No, this is the one that left this morning. 732 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 19: This fifteen hundred around two o'clock at night, left this morning, 733 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 19: and there's another one that is planning to leave after 734 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 19: the second of January. They're planning a massive one that 735 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 19: it's going to be called the mother of all caravans, 736 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 19: that is going to be planned out to leave entering 737 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 19: the year, Grant. That is what we're hearing right now 738 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,959 Speaker 19: with speculations from many activists downside of the border. 739 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: Why can't Mexico shut their southern border down, Why can't 740 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: they say no, no, no, no, nobody else is coming 741 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: in through our southern border. 742 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 2: That being Mexico. 743 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 19: You know, Mexico has a big thing that is also 744 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 19: the United States has right now that is a global 745 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 19: compact on migridge and that is an open border ideology 746 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 19: to receive people from nonports of entry. That is the 747 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 19: first thing that the United States needs to do you 748 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 19: to get out of it. This is why you have 749 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 19: this massive problem on the US borters Mexico. It is 750 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 19: part of the global compact on migrig. This is why 751 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 19: the threat of a tariff, it is so important to 752 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 19: keep the pedal on the vehicle and to continue to 753 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 19: threat Mexico with this tariff to you know, not only 754 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 19: to shut down their border or to regularize and to 755 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 19: create a filter for people to enter normally legally in 756 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 19: through the side of the border, because the border is 757 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 19: wide open brand and it is still continuing to be 758 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 19: wide open between Watemala and Mexico. 759 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 4: And the only way to. 760 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 19: Decrease this flow is to put that threat of a 761 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 19: tariff continuously into the government of Mexico. 762 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 2: All Right. 763 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: I understand that many of these people coming are well intentioned. 764 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: I get that they want a better life. I'd want 765 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: to come to America too. I totally understand that many 766 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 1: of them are not well intentioned. We never talk about 767 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: the effect on Mexico. Does Mexico not have the same 768 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: situation as the United States, where it draws you down economically, 769 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: crime problems. 770 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 2: As they come through here. 771 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: I imagine they're going to steal in America. Why not 772 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: steal in Tijuana. 773 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 19: Well, the thing about it, Grant, is the negative effect 774 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 19: on the country of Mexico is that a lot of 775 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 19: these bad people that they are not received in the 776 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 19: United States and they were deported. They come and saw 777 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 19: a lot of them, and they were for the cotail 778 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 19: and they end up working for the organized crime, these 779 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 19: bad omens, as Donald Trump talks about it. And also, 780 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 19: you know, a lot of the migrants stay over here 781 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 19: on the efforts of one day, particularly save a lot, 782 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 19: you know, save a little bit of money and get 783 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 19: their process to come into the United States with the smuggler, 784 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 19: with the coyote or ultimately with the process. So at 785 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 19: the end of the day, Grant, the number one objective 786 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 19: is to out of the United States, not particularly to 787 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,280 Speaker 19: stay in Mexico. 788 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 2: Is there any group. 789 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: In Mexico that's putting up political opposition to this open 790 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 1: border policies that says, yes, let's partner with the United States, 791 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: let's shut these borders down, and let's all be successful. 792 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 793 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 19: One of the one of the leaders that has you know, 794 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 19: and that is trying to make a political party movement 795 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 19: over here is one of the et Asketegi that is 796 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 19: a close friend to Donald Trump and it is a Mexican. 797 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 4: He is a Catholic and also a Christian. Uh. 798 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 19: He has been continuously in the efforts to make a 799 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 19: political movement to rise this into bringing you know, the 800 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 19: nationalism into Mexico and ultimately. 801 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 4: To fight the corruption and to fight the cartel. That 802 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 4: is the number one thing, Grank. 803 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 19: That is our polluted system is a corruption, is the 804 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 19: pollution of these cartels that they are so implemented in 805 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 19: corruption with politicians and international investors. So yes, there's some hope, 806 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 19: there's some political movements and there's some political parties and 807 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 19: also international investors that they want to contra attacked. What 808 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 19: the you know, the ideologies of this socialist president that 809 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 19: we have as we speak right now and we still 810 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 19: have six years ago, Grant. So you know, Donald Trump 811 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 19: needs to come in and come in with authority and 812 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 19: set the. 813 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 4: Pace over here on what he needs to do. 814 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: Well, look, we see the tariffs already started to work 815 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: with Canada. We see them somewhat starting to work with 816 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: Mexico and they're doing some things. 817 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 2: I think it'll only get better. 818 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: The closer we get to President Trump coming in office 819 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: and they realize that he means business. 820 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 2: Oscar Amirez, you do such great work there. 821 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: Please stay safe and just keep us posted as you 822 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: get stuff. 823 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 2: We're happy to have you on any night. 824 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Grandon has always an honor to 825 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 4: be with you. 826 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 2: Honor is mine, my friend, it really is. Oscar's doing great, 827 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 2: great work down there. 828 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: All right, folks, this continuing resolution now on shaky ground. Right, well, 829 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: we will talk about what this means for what was 830 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: the only. 831 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 2: Bright spot in the bill next. 832 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: All right, so most of you have probably not heard 833 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: of what a pharmacy benefit manager is. They're basically a 834 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: middleman between the drug company and consumers, and they're widely 835 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: known to jack up prices. This is Senator James Langford 836 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: got a little shaky on, by the way, talking about 837 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: pharmacy benefit managers. 838 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 20: That is one of the most common questions. Everyone says, 839 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 20: what is a PBM. They've never heard of a pharmacy 840 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 20: benefit manager and it' said never talked to a pharmacy 841 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 20: benefit manager? Is because they are the middleman they're the 842 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 20: one in between. They're between the drug companies, the insurance companies, 843 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 20: the pharmacists, and the patients. They're facilitating the price negotiation, 844 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 20: but they're actually the ones actually setting the formulary. They 845 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 20: determine often if you get a generic drug, a biosimilar, 846 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 20: or a brand drug, what that cost is. And they're 847 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 20: also negotiating with all of them so that they increase 848 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 20: profits and everyone else's detrimental. 849 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 2: So it sounds like we all lose. 850 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: I want to bring in now AMAC Association of Mature 851 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: American Citizens AMAC action, Your vice president, Andy Mangioni is here. Andy, 852 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: Welcome program and Grant, good to see you all. Right, 853 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: what would AMAC look you? But you're American citizens? We 854 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: fill a lot of them are using prescription drugs, right, 855 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: So what would you like to see happen with these 856 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: pharmacy benefit managers legislation in Congress? What's the best thing 857 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: for seniors in America today when it comes to this? 858 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,959 Speaker 9: Well, right now, there are proposals that are in this 859 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 9: in the CR, this controversial huge money spends CR that 860 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 9: everyone's been slamming, and rightfully so, because there's so much 861 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 9: waste in it. But there are some silver linings that 862 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 9: are in the CR now. I don't know if it's 863 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 9: going to survive, but what's in it right now are 864 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 9: things that AMAC Action has been advocating for for the 865 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 9: past six years, things like increased transparency and grant. What 866 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 9: that means is that PBMs would be required to disclose 867 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 9: the rebase and the fees and the price concessions that 868 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 9: they receive from manufacturers. And what this does is enhance 869 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 9: transparency and drug pricing and aims to reduce costs for 870 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 9: consumers and medicare beneficiaries. There's also a provision that prohibits 871 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 9: spread pricing. This is a tactic used by PBMs where 872 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,919 Speaker 9: they charge payers more for medications than they reimburse pharmacies. 873 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 9: So what this does GRANT is reduce successive pricing practices 874 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 9: and ensures fair payment for pharmacies. This provision alone could 875 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 9: keep rural pharmacies in business. There are other provisions include 876 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 9: pass through of rebates, So the objective here is to 877 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 9: ensure that the rebates that the PBMs negotiate with manufacturers 878 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 9: are passed through to health plans or patients. 879 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 2: And what the impact here is. 880 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 9: That it would directly reduce out of pocket costs for patients, 881 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 9: especially those with high drug expenses. And there's one of 882 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 9: the most important components that's currently in this package is 883 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 9: regulatory oversight. 884 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 2: We've been screaming. 885 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 9: If there is an industry and a supply chain that 886 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 9: needs some oversight, it's the outpatient prescription drug supply chain 887 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 9: that is controlled by pharmacy benefit managers. The oversight here 888 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 9: with strengthen federal and state oversight of PBAM activities that 889 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 9: would ensure compliance and transparency for pricing rules. 890 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: All right, let me explain that like this to my 891 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: viewers out there, because many people say we don't want regulation, 892 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,879 Speaker 1: we hate regulation. But to quote Building Friedman, it's noth 893 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: that you don't want any regulation. You need regulation when 894 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 1: there are two or more people involved in a deal 895 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: and one or more of those people don't get a say. 896 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: In this case, the consumer is not getting a say, 897 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,399 Speaker 1: which is why you would end up needing regulation. They're 898 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: certainly part of the deal, but they don't have a 899 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: say in it. Anny am I summon that up correctly. 900 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 9: I think you've done a marvelous job of summing up 901 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 9: what that means. 902 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 2: We're not big regulators. 903 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 9: Okay, we'd like to see the government off the backs 904 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 9: of small businesses. But in this case, in the outpatient 905 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 9: prescription drug supply chain, this is a supply chain and 906 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 9: an industry that is screaming for regulation, streaming for sunlight. 907 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 9: We don't want to see PBMs go away. We want 908 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 9: to see their anti competitive business practices go away. We 909 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 9: want to see an injection of the free market into 910 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:11,919 Speaker 9: the supply chain. 911 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: All right, this is an example of AMAC working for 912 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: consumers out there. It's maybe the only bright shining light 913 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: in this CR. I'm hoping no offense to you, Andy, 914 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: I'm hoping this whole CR gets killed and maybe we 915 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,919 Speaker 1: get our good friends in Washington to put this into 916 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 1: the next bill where it should be and get it 917 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: through that way. 918 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 2: But it's great work that you guys are doing. Yeah, 919 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 2: if I can. 920 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 9: Mention grant, you know, all these provisions are basically budget 921 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 9: budget neutral, and I agree with you is this is 922 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,320 Speaker 9: an absurd package. I'd love to see whatever next version 923 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 9: of this thing is because it looks like it's going 924 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,840 Speaker 9: down includes some of these healthcare provisions, including PBM reform. 925 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,240 Speaker 2: If not, we'll. 926 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,280 Speaker 9: Start twenty twenty five on the ground running with Pharmacy 927 00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 9: Benefit Manager reform because President Trump wants to see PBM reform. 928 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: Real quick, and I mean real quick on this because 929 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: we're up on this break. There's no budget increase for 930 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 1: what you're proposing here. 931 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 2: This is literally just boom. 932 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: You change things around, consumers say, if you're not spending 933 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 1: any more money to get it done. 934 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 9: Correct, As I mentioned, most of these provisions are budget neutral. 935 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 2: You are correct? 936 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, perfect, all right, AMAC Action Senior Vice President Andy 937 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: MANGIONI thank you so much. 938 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 2: Let me tell people how. 939 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 1: They can get with AMAC and start making some changes 940 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: in America. 941 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 2: And you get that great magazine too, which I just 942 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 2: got mine.
