00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.639
The one you trust and in studio
with this is Senator Julie Daniels. How

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:07.280
are you, good morning, Tom. I'm just fine. Well, it's

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:09.640
good to be home. Oh,
it is, it is, it is.

4
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.320
It's been busy. And first of
all, I thank the House and

5
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:18.039
Senate for the forty five million dollars
in relief that was passed yesterday. And

6
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.120
now onto the governor's Yes, we
did that. We've confirmed the new Emergency

7
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.079
Management director who's done such a good
job in the aftermath of the two storms.

8
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.920
And yeah, we're you know,
following through with the Oklahoma standard and

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.320
making sure that we take care of
people the best of our ability. And

10
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.240
so that was a very good use
of one time money. Is to get

11
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.000
those into the those dollars into those
communities and help those folks. And I

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.280
will say to anybody no matter where
you live, but particularly in the Barblesville

13
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.759
area, if you have deeds,
do call my office four oh five five,

14
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.520
two one six three four. I
know. I talked to the deputy

15
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.320
director of the Department of Human Services
the other day and they have some programs

16
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.240
that could be helpful. And he
just said, if you don't necessarily think

17
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.239
of reaching out to DHS. He
wanted me to know that sometimes there are

18
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.319
things they can do to help.
So anyway, whatever your need is,

19
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.400
call and we will try to get
you connected with the right entity. But

20
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:19.640
certainly putting that money into those two
disasters and creating that revolving fund for Oklahoma

21
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.200
disasters was a very good thing that
we did. This week, Senator,

22
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.400
you are running for re election and
we've got the primary coming up, and

23
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.879
just a little bit to a little
bit about the books about why do you

24
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.480
want to do this again? Well, I am thoroughly enjoying being allowed to

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:40.439
represent the citizens of Senate District twenty
nine. This is my eighth year.

26
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:47.840
I've been highly successful in advancing good
policy. I've had some opportunities while in

27
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.840
the Senate to be in leadership positions, which has also increased my ability to

28
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.239
be effective for my constituents. And
I am a very hard worker and a

29
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.920
committed conservative, have been my whole
life. And so what I've done is

30
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.040
take a conservative philosophy and apply it
to government, and it's working very well

31
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:12.080
in my view, and certainly I'm
able I think to address a lot of

32
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:16.800
the issues my primary voters are concerned
about, and the Senate district itself.

33
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:22.360
Beyond that, I want to say
before I do, before I forget,

34
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.560
how to be in touch with me. My website is danielsokasenate dot com danielsokasenate

35
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.840
dot com. You can write to
me there, or you can text or

36
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:39.159
call me at nine one eight three
three one seven two six seven, or

37
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:46.639
my personal email is Julie Daniels seven
nine eight eight at gmail. So those

38
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.240
are three ways to be in touch
with me, and I try to be

39
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.080
responsive. Yes, I've also got
my Facebook Senator Julie Daniels, which is

40
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.560
my personal campaign Senate page, and
you can message me there, and I

41
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.719
try to get round to looking at
all those things multiple times a day.

42
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.120
I want to cover two things in
particular this morning. First, the immigration

43
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:15.319
issue, which just continues to escalate
and become more troublesome to Americans nationwide.

44
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.840
And I know when we passed our
bill a couple of weeks ago, we

45
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.800
knew that it was bold saying that
if you are in our state illegally,

46
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:31.080
you are subject to a misdemeanor,
and if you are apprehended a second time,

47
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.599
it's a felony. And if you
are apprehended you have seventy two hours

48
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:43.120
to leave the state of Oklahoma if
you are here illegally, and we know

49
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.360
that's bold. As I am saying
about my vote on that is that we've

50
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.879
had enough, the states, the
nation as a whole, we can't take

51
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.719
this anymore, the failure to enforce
our laws, the failure, if necessary,

52
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.960
to work together to reform the laws. But we are being overwhelmed,

53
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:08.039
and it is also creating a division
between US and legal immigrants, and that

54
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:14.000
I think is one of the sad
repercussions of this vote. But I voted

55
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.199
for that bill. I had already
voted for any opportunity to get law enforcement

56
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:25.639
to cooperate with ICE and to ban
sanctuary cities in Oklahoma. And also when

57
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.439
we took up that immigration bill,
someone tried to amend it to allow tax

58
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:38.000
paying illegal residents to have the option
to apply for a driver's license, and

59
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:45.920
I voted against that amendment, so
that option to allow some illegal residents to

60
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.800
be eligible to apply for a driver's
license fail, and I was part of

61
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:57.120
that vote. The issue of uninsured
drivers and the problem that causes for law

62
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.720
enforcement is indeed an issue that is
taught up somewhat with illegal immigration. But

63
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:08.560
we in the Senate and the House
have determined that we've moved well beyond being

64
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:14.360
able to address that issue, because
the problem with illegal immigration has just continued

65
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.920
to escalate. So I opposed that
amendment. It did fail. We now

66
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.519
know that there is a lawsuit,
which certainly is no surprise to any of

67
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.839
us. A lawsuit has been filed
challenging the authority of the state of Oklahoma

68
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.360
to do anything to try to enforce
immigration law, because that is completely within

69
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.560
the purview of the federal government.
So we will see how that goes.

70
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.240
But I consider it consider this vote
a shout out to Congress and to the

71
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:48.480
President. You have to fix this
because we're overwhelmed and it's creating public safety

72
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:57.160
issues for both citizens of Oklahoma and
legal immigrants. And it's just a sidebar

73
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.519
to this time costs more of your
tax dollars. The more enforcement that we

74
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.800
have to try and do, the
more we have to deal with any public

75
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.759
safety issues that are a result of
the presence of illegal aliens, just cost

76
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.000
you, the taxpayer, more money. We know that some of these folks

77
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:19.519
are engaged in fentanyl trade, human
trafficking. The illegal marijuana grows, this

78
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.079
is not to speak of all immigrants. We know that, but to the

79
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.639
extent that illegal immigrants are engaged in
these illegal acts, they are costing us

80
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.720
both in terms of our safety and
in terms of having to dedicate more and

81
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:39.920
more taxpayer dollars to trying as a
state to overcome or at least deal with

82
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.560
some of the issues related to illegal
immigration. So that's a big one.

83
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.600
I know there was a rally at
the capitol this week among the Hispanic community,

84
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.560
and I'm sure many of the people
there were legal immigrants. There may

85
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.279
also have been illegal immigrants among them. I know it's complicated for those folks

86
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:03.040
who have both legal and illegal folks
in their families. It's just all round

87
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:08.839
a problem that has to be solved, and the federal government has to do

88
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.560
it. And I'll just end by
saying I think the left enjoys this.

89
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.079
The left wants to create as much
chaos as they possibly can, whether it's

90
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.360
at the federal level or now at
the state level, having legislators be combative

91
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.680
on this issue. This is something
that they're doing, I believe intentionally,

92
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.240
and so we as a state are
responding the best that we can. Another

93
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.560
thing I wanted to touch on today
because I think we have a couple more

94
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.240
minutes, is when you're in the
middle of a campaign, you are required

95
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:45.920
by ethics laws to put anything you
send out to the folks the fact that

96
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.199
it was authorized and paid for by
your campaign. So anything I send says

97
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.160
authorized and paid for by friends of
Julie Daniels twenty twenty four. You will

98
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.480
see that on anything that comes through
the mail. You will see that on

99
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.480
anything that comes as a text that
is on my billboards. I believe the

100
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.360
only place you don't have to have
it is on yard signs, because you

101
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.480
drive by those so fast you can't
see them. So if you are receiving

102
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.800
anything that you think is from me
and you don't like quite the way I

103
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.000
sound, because I don't sound like
the Julie that you usually know, check

104
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.160
very carefully and I will tell you
those are coming from independent expenditure groups.

105
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.040
They cannot tell you to vote for
me. They can say tell her she's

106
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.080
doing a great job, or call
her and say she's doing a great job.

107
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.720
And two of those have come out
so far in the form of texts,

108
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.559
and they are causing people to call
or text and say I don't like

109
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.759
the way you sound. This isn't
this isn't the way you normally talk.

110
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.120
I don't want this text or they
call my office, and of course we

111
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.279
are not allowed to campaign from our
office, so my assistant either needs to

112
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.960
tell them call her cel phone or
delete the voice because she is not allowed

113
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.279
to engage or help me engage in
any campaign related work. So if you

114
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.519
see something, go to the fine
print see if it's come from me or

115
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.559
from somebody else. I don't know
who they are. Now, if it

116
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.519
comes from a group like the American
Federation for Children, they will put on

117
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.639
their mailers. We appreciate what she's
done for school choice, we appreciate what

118
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.960
she's done for tax credit scholarships.
They will put on there. That's one

119
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.519
group. I think Americans for Prosperity
is another one who will put on their

120
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.960
mailers. Who they are These other
groups, I don't know who they are,

121
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.159
and honestly, I've not had time
to go and try to research.

122
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.320
So that's just to clarify. There
are some things I can control and some

123
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.440
things I cannot. So before you
get a little bit upset about the tone

124
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.000
of something or just that you're receiving
it, check to see if it actually

125
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.279
came from me. There you go. There's a lot of that going around,

126
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.559
a lot of AI stuff too,
and you got to watch it quickly.

127
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.799
Experience. You got a little bit, don't you, just a little?

128
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.720
I do. I have my experience
from being on the city council and

129
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.679
being involved in Bartlesville for thirty five
years now, lots of experience within my

130
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.519
Republican Party, but certainly at the
Capitol. I know, I've just counted

131
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.879
today. I've had ten bills signed
by the governor thus far. I have

132
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.399
another about ten out there. I
don't think all of those are going to

133
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.679
make it past this last two weeks. But I've been able to be judged

134
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.919
on I would say, more than
one thousand votes in eight years. And

135
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.799
certainly there are conservative groups who rank
me very high in terms of my consistent

136
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.919
conservative voting record. And so I
will say to the primary voters and other

137
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.679
voters, you have in me somebody
who gets results. You have in me

138
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.679
a true trusted conservative leader. You
have in me someone who's fully engaged.

139
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.759
This is a full time job,
and I do it full time. I'm

140
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.399
already making a list issues I would
like to continue to address or address for

141
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.600
the first time. Even as I'm
trying to get some judicial reform past this

142
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.080
session, I will be in meetings
on Monday. This is not something I

143
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.320
had counted on doing in the last
couple of weeks, but we are trying,

144
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.240
and it might be tied up with
some budget negotiations. So I just

145
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.919
want people to know that I am
always thinking and working towards good policy from

146
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:30.000
my constituenc and for the state of
Oklahoma, and I would certainly appreciate your

147
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.399
vote on June eighteen. The primary
election will decide this Senate seat, so

148
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.519
I would appreciate your vote on June
eighteen. Thank you, Senator Daniels.

149
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:39.519
Thank you Tom
