Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
We have a Congressman Josh ra Keen on with us today and exciting a
couple of days here we finally have a speaker. Your comments, Oh,
I'm thrilled. I think the American people are seeing a taste that Mike Johnson
is a person of an impeccable character. He's just got a resume and a
reputation that's beloved. And what happened with so many people people getting around him
so quickly in that last twenty four hours to come it was it wasn't contrived,
it was it was organic, and people were looking around and said,
why not Mike Johnson? Who could be against Mike Johnson? Because he's so
well respected, He's got a deep rudder of faith. He's a constitutional attorney,
he works with the Alliance of Sense Fund on religious liberty principles. He
understands first principles, founding principles. He's got a good conservative record. So
you know, there's one often isn't around McDonald Going now, when it gets
back to the economy here, I know that we have a twelve appropriation bills
we've got to get rolling through and but what happens in the meantime, he's
got to kind of get everything set up and ready to go. But I
hear he's a pretty good task master. Yeah, look he's doing a quick
study. I'm sure. I mean, Comngress is still moving forward. We
held it hearing yesterday in regards to what we need to be concerned about the
United States specific to Iran, and most people, you know understand this massive
tragedy of you know, twenty fifteen hundred is lately losing their lives, but
we had thirty two Americans that lost their lives, you know. There in
Israel, we had eleven Americans that are missing among the two hundred that have
been taken captive. And so the part of the whole Man Security Committee,
what we're trying to do is make sure that the we're sounding the along of
this administration. They've already called him theircrats to prole somebody did a mass parole
into the United States. And with Gaza strip, you have you have a
Washington Institute cole that shows you within that area does a strip, fifty seven
percent of them have a favorable opinion of I'm as so, homp, can
you imagine what would happen if we start bringing those people in the United States
with the same betting. I will say this lack of that, and that
happened that under Afghanistan ripping g reallocation under parole. Even the Investigator General when
that was occurring, was saying, this administration of my administration wasn't doing a
thorough dub of velion. They didn't really know who we were bringing in the
United States. So I've signed onto a letter pushing back on this administration directly
to the President. Had several colleagues that joined me on that and said,
we can't do this. And let me pause and say this. We had
a lady in our hearing yesterday who's an Iranian American. She fled came over
here a few years ago, several years ago. She's a journalist and I
ran began to speak against the regimes. And there's already been two direct threats
from her life that occurred in the United States. That guy shows up on
her doork steps with an AK forty seven chary killer. They tried to abduct
her out of Brooklyn and send her and put her on a ship to get
her back to Iran. She had a fellow colleague that they were able to
do that to in France and and Uh and execute him in Iran. And
we know that you had a plot against George W. Bush that was discovered
because of somebody trying to coming across the southern border. The FBI uncovered a
plot to kill President George W. Bush. And then they're specific to Iran.
There was in the last couple of years an uncovering of a plot to
take out Bolton and Mike Pompeio, and that's specific to the Iran Revolutionary Guard.
So we have to be on heightened alert because when hamas says in the
Islamic world is calling for the end of Israel and calling them little Satan,
calling us great Satan, we have got to be on our high horse and
and be watchmen on the wall because they're I mean to infiltrate in the United
States and do us harm. It isn't wake up calling. I'm grateful to
the chairman, Yes Suy, for holding this hearing we talked about in my
comics yesterday. In the last year or two, you had a guy who
wrote a book, skating book in the United States, this is in New
York against the Iranian regime and he was stabbing in New York by somebody who
ascribes to the revolution Iranian Revolutionary Islamic Revolutionary Guard ideology. So these people are
in the United States. Me let me say that we know that we've had
over one hundred and fifty people that are on a specialized alert system that have
come from Iran across that southern border, that specific to Iran, that are
on a special trip wire of seventy thousand individuals that have come across our southern
border that we are heightened alarm one hundred and fifty specific to Iran. But
that's not even inclusive of the two hundred and fifty the last two years that
have come across our own Cherish walk list. This is a separate category of
people that we've got a heightened alarm that'll come across that southern border. So
when you have one point five million got aways, we don't know who those
are. They've come across the southern board, there's been no contact. That's
just by watching tracking the footprints to the southern border, and they weren't encountered.
Now we don't know what's gotten in the United States. And when you
think of your water system, you think you'll let your grid. Do you
think of the ability to kidnap families? Imagine what would have on the coordinated
effort of kidnapping families, but political pressure on people. So I mean this
is when I say this, maybe the Lord be getting every one of us
on our knees in prayer for this nation. Number one, they're repent to
turn from our moral and cultural rot and then have the ability to position in
God we trust to protect this nation. I want to get back to the
CRS. I guess we're going to have to do one, probably here pretty
quick. But I understand the rest of the money business will kind of fall
into order and take shape pretty much the way the twenty would like to see
it operate here pretty soon. Quite correct. Well, we look one of
the things that the new Speaker, Mike Johnson has said is let's getting back
to the business of trying to finish our op proparation bills, and so that
started yesterday. I'm hopeful that we could send forward a completed product that gives
us the strongest negotiating position. I just got wored this morning. Just it's
in the first thirty days of this fiscal year. Our deficit is already five
hundred million dollars in one month, five hundred billion dollars. In nineteen eighty,
the size of our entire debt was one trillion in one month. Already,
our annual deficit for one month is five hundred million, half of what
it took us two hundred years of debt accumulation to get to total debt to
this nation in nineteen eighty, and we've already overspent it in this first month
in this fiscal year. We're in a scary situation financially. Hey, Josh,
anything folks need to know they can get a hold of you. You're
a pretty accessible guy. Well thanks an. Yeah, town halls, we
tend to do a lot of those. We had fifteen of those planning that
got canceled during the past three weeks because of the speaker's situation. We'll be
doing some more town halls in the months ahead. In church, you will
pay attention to social media, Congressman Josh Urkeen. We try to keep that
information on social media. D also also they can reach out to Burkeeen dot
house dot gov, d r E d h e E N d r E

Claremore office or our DC office and then have a field rep. We've got
guys that are out there in the community that are walking in business to business,
Get in information and get with one of our field drips and let us
know what's your thoughts on Josh. Thanks. I know you've got a lot
going on today, but I appreciate you as always taking time out for us
