WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.400 Dot Com, your summer pocket knife of information. 2 00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:05.919 That's the only way to stay in form. 3 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:13.919 Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station. It's eight oh five, 4 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.160 fifty five KRC the Talk Station. 5 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.559 And a very happy Wednesday to you. 6 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.600 A little less happy because no Judge Ennan of Polatana, 7 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.800 considering he's on vacation this week and next week. But 8 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.640 we still get usually the Hour of Power, my favorite 9 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.800 hour radio is, and we get Congressman Thomas Massy follow 10 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.079 by Napolitana. I'll take half of the dynamic duol. Welcome 11 00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.479 back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Congressman Thomas Massy. 12 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.520 I love having you on the show. 13 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:37.920 Well, Brian, I stirred it up in DC. 14 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.039 You good time. 15 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.520 Well you stirred it up. I guess you incurred the 16 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.000 wrath of Donald Trump. I've seen the add the running 17 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.560 against you and attacking you. It's obviously a very distorted 18 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.359 perception of where you stand and your values and your principles. 19 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.840 But is it a campaign? Is it an election year? 20 00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.600 Because it's sure season. It seems like when you watch 21 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:00.359 televisi in the. 22 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:05.400 Evening, Oh man, I you know they try to do 23 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.920 these TV ads and put me with the squad. But 24 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.599 they've they replaced one of the squad with the Ayatola. 25 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.280 So I tell Rashida to leave. She's been bumped from 26 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.920 my TV at Ayatola. But they're just so ridiculous and 27 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.760 so over the top. But here's the thing. I hope 28 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:33.000 your listeners remember. Dogs don't bark at parked cars. The reason. Look, 29 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.400 I wasn't the only one to vote against the big 30 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.680 beautiful bill, but I'm the only one they're running ads 31 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.599 against because I'm I can mobilize people in Congress. I 32 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:49.200 can build coalitions, and that's what I did yesterday. I 33 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.599 put in a bill that will force the release of 34 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.239 the Epstein files. Yeah, this is legislation, and I used 35 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.760 a method that I learned from the Rules Committee and 36 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.000 some people there about how to do a discharge petition. Now, 37 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:10.879 this is going to get a little bit wonky, but 38 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.560 you know, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson's not 39 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.280 going to bring a bill to release the Epstein files 40 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.759 to the floor. If he was going to do that, 41 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:18.360 he would. 42 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.159 Have done it a year ago, right, I guess. 43 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:25.240 So there's something called a discharge petition where you can 44 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.840 if you can get two hundred and eighteen signatures, you 45 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.039 can bypass the speaker and the committee chairman and bring 46 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.759 a bill straight to the floor. And normally you have 47 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.719 to wait thirty seven days for that to ripen before 48 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.319 you can start collecting signatures. But I figured out a 49 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.919 way to do it in seven days. So in seven 50 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.080 legislative days, y'all are going to find out who wants 51 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.159 the Epstein files released and who doesn't among the four 52 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.960 hundred and thirty five members of Congress, because they can 53 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.000 either sign this petition to bring the bill to the 54 00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.400 floor or not sign it. 55 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.080 Well, it's I guess the big question looming in the 56 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.599 room is why wouldn't you release them now? If you 57 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.759 take the administration at their word, there's nothing there. The 58 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.360 only thing in the assortment of documents is a bunch 59 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.759 of downloaded child porn which they won't release, thank god, 60 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.319 and they can. But beyond that, we've been listening for 61 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.800 years and years the screams and cries about the Epstein 62 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:26.719 client lists, the bribery, the extortion, the sexual abuse of miners, 63 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.520 that it seems to be fairly well documented. There's got 64 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.280 to be something there, So why wouldn't you just release 65 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.120 it now? Maybe it'll be a big bubble burst for 66 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.639 all the conspiracy theorists out there. But fine, let the 67 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.360 bubbles burst. Here's the documents we told you, and there's 68 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.159 nothing here. Or alternatively, let us draw our own conclusions 69 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:45.759 about those who interacted with Epstein. 70 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.199 We're entitled to have that, yes, And my legislation is 71 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.840 carefully crafted to protect the victims, yes, And to prevent 72 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.039 the release of child pornography. Yes, it's got an exemption 73 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:04.879 for that. Don't give us that information. But one thing 74 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.039 they're not allowed to redact is embarrassing information and specifically 75 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.240 put that in there. And the victims, you know, they're 76 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.600 victims speaking out. They want just as the American people 77 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.199 were guaranteed transparency. I mean, this was part of the election. 78 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.519 It's part of what we all voted for to drain 79 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.240 the swamp. And so that's what my resolution will do. 80 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.720 It'll fulfill that promise. And uh, you know, I you know, 81 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.519 my personal opinion is he probably wasn't, you know, reporting 82 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.639 to a cubicle at some intelligence agency, and he probably 83 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.160 wasn't on a W two paying you know, withholding on 84 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.279 on his salary from an intelligence agency. But I think 85 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:54.600 that he was wrapped up in a collection of information 86 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.759 about high profile individuals. Was there blackmail involved? I don't know, 87 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.959 but I certainly think that he was part of this. 88 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.319 He was probably associated with Massad, the Israeli intelligence agency. 89 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.680 And you know, we've got proof of that. There are 90 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:18.240 court records. Back when they first declined to really prosecute him, 91 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.319 they said in the court records that he was associated 92 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.319 with intelligence collection. 93 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:25.720 Yeah. 94 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.480 One of his former attorneys, Alan Dersher, wrote a piece 95 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.439 for the Wall Street Journal. It showed up in today's 96 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.199 journal inside Scoop on Jeffrey Epstein, and he addresses each 97 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.480 of these arguments and he said, I have absolutely no 98 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.759 doubt that Epstein never worked for any intelligence agency. If 99 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.519 he had, he would have surely told me this and 100 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.560 his other lawyer and his other lawyers who would have 101 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.639 used that information to get him a better deal. Apparently 102 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.600 the one and a half years he agreed to serve 103 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.639 in a local jail did not resonate well with Epstein. 104 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.040 So having information along those lines would have been presented 105 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.959 to the court. Perhaps. I don't know, but that's the 106 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.600 argument that Dersh. Sure it's made, but it's either true 107 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.279 or it's not, and we should be able to know 108 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.519 that what the hell do you make Congressman Massey of 109 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.079 of Trump now make arguing that this is along the 110 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.920 lines of Russian collusion of these documents and these these 111 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.839 arguments and these these conspiracy theres were whole cloth made up, 112 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:20.639 because that flies in the face of a lot of 113 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.160 things that he said prior to now. It just doesn't 114 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.920 make any sense to me, because, of course he says 115 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.639 that knowing full well that something like what you're doing, 116 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.759 which is passed potentially passing a bill to get these 117 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.199 documents out there, that could end up flying if his 118 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.319 face flying in his face, Well. 119 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.560 Let's get the documents out there and this vet them, 120 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.839 you know, yeah, give them the light of day, and 121 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.959 if they were made up, we can figure out how 122 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.199 they were made up and who made it up exactly. 123 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.120 Got the tools that are disposable disposal, The dj and 124 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.959 the FBI are there, so let's get it all out there. 125 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.480 To say that there's no more files and then to 126 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.160 say that it's made up. See takes the question, wait, 127 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.800 what what's made up that you're not sharing? Right? 128 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:06.639 Yeah? 129 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.560 That came out of nowhere for me. I just I 130 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.759 didn't understand why he even made that as an argument. 131 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.240 I don't think it helps his case at all. 132 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.279 You can go back and find you know, the Deputy 133 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.360 Director Dan Bongino talking about these files. You can go back. 134 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.879 You can you can find Donald Trump's children talking about 135 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.199 these files during the election. You can find the vice 136 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.680 president talking about these files even more recently, and even 137 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.600 the Attorney General Pam Bondi talking about these files. Let's 138 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.879 just get it out there and let the public decide. 139 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.240 And you know, I'm sure there are some things they're 140 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:49.079 still going to try to hold on to. But my 141 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.519 my provision, my legislation has the force of law. And 142 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.040 so people are saying, oh, well, they'll use this or 143 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.279 that to keep from giving it to you. And we 144 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.360 do grant them certain exceptions. If there's some thing in 145 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:05.279 there that would compromise our national security, okay, don't disclose that. 146 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:12.759 But everything else, it's this resolution which brings forward legislation 147 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:14.639 has the force of law. 148 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.000 Well, it's going to be interesting to see how the 149 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.000 vote comes out. I know you're pushing forward this with 150 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.000 the backing of Representative ro Kanna, no conservative heat Democrat 151 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.480 from California, so you can call it bipartisan legislation. And 152 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.639 I think it's appropriate label for it. Do you get 153 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.759 a sense of where folks are in terms of how 154 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.000 they're going to vote on this, Congressman Massy, Yeah. 155 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.200 So let me give you the timeline here. Rocanna and 156 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.559 I introduced this together. He's my co sponsor on this. 157 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.679 I'm the lead. I can control the timing of it. 158 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.360 But Roe is sort of person and on croda among 159 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.840 the Democrats a lot of times too. But he assures 160 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.879 me that he thinks most of the Democrats will sign 161 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.279 on to this discharge petition to get the vote and 162 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.919 this more learning. I talked with Marjorie Taylor Green and 163 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.759 she signed up this morning. Now Jesus close as you 164 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.440 can get to the President and Maga, she talks to 165 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.159 President every week and so she signed onto it. That's 166 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.600 a big step. I think. You know, all it takes 167 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.840 is every Democrat plus four Republicans, and there's two of 168 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.679 us already, so I think it's going to get a vote. 169 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.399 Here's but here's what's going to happen the leadership. Once 170 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.879 I start getting momentum on this, they want to probably 171 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.720 deprive me of the victory, so they may introduce their 172 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.399 own legislation or take some other action. To try to 173 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.799 preempt what I'm doing. And by the way, it'll be 174 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.919 seven legislative days before anybody can actually sign the discharge petition. 175 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.759 They can co sponsor my resolution to bring up the bill, 176 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.399 but to force it around the speaker, it takes us 177 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.600 seven days to legislative days to get to that point. 178 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.159 So it might we might go into the August recess 179 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.840 without two hundred and eighteen signatures. But that'll be a 180 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.159 great time for people to contact their congressmen and tell 181 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.799 them when they get back in September signed the Dagon 182 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.919 discharge petition to get the Epstein files out. 183 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:17.399 Amen. 184 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.759 And you know, I think the best thing could happen 185 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:21.720 of all this. We find out there is no there there. 186 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.080 We put a stake in the heart of all the 187 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.360 conspiracy theories, and we move on with our lives without 188 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.039 having to talk about it anymore. But as long as 189 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:31.279 the documents are withheld, it's not going away. Congress mass 190 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.320 applaud your efforts. Let's pause and bring it back.

Congressman Thomas Massey on the line, let's pivot 237 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.960 over what you call medical malpractice martial law. This relates 238 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.240 to something called the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness the 239 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.639 PREP Act. This one looks really tasty, Congressman Massy, let 240 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:57.679 my listeners know about this. 241 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.639 Yeah, a lot of people know that vaccine manufacturers have 242 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:07.919 been shielded for decades from liability. But what they're not 243 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.840 fully aware of is there's an even worse law that 244 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:16.279 shields everybody from liability during a pandemic. If the President 245 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.639 declares a pandemic, as he did in during COVID, but 246 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:25.440 we've still got like multiple pandemics, they never undeclare the pandemic, right, 247 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.559 So what happens, for instance, during COVID is not only 248 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:34.720 are the vaccine manufacturers not liable for harm they cause 249 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.000 to know their users or citizens, neither are the people 250 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.559 who make the masks. So if you somebody made a 251 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.000 mask that had cancer particles on it and you inhaled 252 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.879 the particles for six months. Too bad, they're covered by 253 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.720 the prep BacT. The prep BacT says that during a 254 00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.320 pandemic declared by the President, nobody who makes anything to 255 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.840 deal with the pandemic can be sued even if they 256 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.639 cause harm to people. 257 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:12.759 So a completely negligently manufactured product, like a tainted mask, 258 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.440 there's still immune from product liability under the under the 259 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:17.279 urgency use. 260 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:18.799 One. 261 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.799 The only way they can be liable is if you 262 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:27.039 can prove they did it on perp with the intent 263 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:27.759 to harm. 264 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.000 Right. 265 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.399 So the problem, Look, I don't like lawsuits, but they 266 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:37.320 do keep corporations sort of in check. There's this incentive 267 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.440 not to you know, harm people if you're gonna have 268 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.960 to pay for it becomes if it becomes unprofitable, right, right, 269 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.600 because ultimately that's what corporations are driven by his profits 270 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.159 and making a dollar. So you need to have this 271 00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.039 these uh, these injury laws for better or worse, and 272 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.840 it's actually for better and almost all of them are 273 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.440 state laws. So here's why I call it the prep 274 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.559 BacT Medical malpractice martial law. It's a federal law that 275 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.679 says none of the state laws apply. And I think 276 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.559 it's a violation of the tenth Amendment. There's nowhere in 277 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:22.159 the Constitution that lets the federal government say that all 278 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.840 state laws dealing with liability are null and void, because 279 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.799 when the founder set up this country, they intended liability 280 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.360 issues to be at the state level, and that's where 281 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:38.320 they are. So anyways, my bill would repeal the PREP 282 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:42.279 fact it's been around since two thousand and five. We 283 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:47.000 got along just fined before two thousand and five. And 284 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.919 I mean, it's just crazy the way that the PREP 285 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:54.080 Act has been employed by corporations to shield themselves from 286 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.480 the dangers and harms they've caused individuals. 287 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.279 I've state the obvious on this one congressrom that, see, 288 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.840 you were going to invite the full force and weight 289 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.320 of the billions of dollars the pharmaceutical companies have in 290 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.759 opposition to this effort, and I know they carry a 291 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.919 lot of weight among elected officials in DC. 292 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.039 Well, now you know one of the reasons. Again, you're 293 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.200 seeing one point eight million dollars of negative ads being 294 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.320 run against me in the Cincinnati market a year before 295 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.720 the election. They're trying to tune me up. They're trying 296 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.720 to put me in my place, and I'm sorry, my 297 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:32.679 place is protecting the citizens of the fourth District of Kentucky. 298 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.879 So this would be a retroactive repeal the emergency authorization 299 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.960 for the for the COVID vaccine. Yes, wow, wow, you're 300 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.240 in for a hell of a fight, Congressome natsin what 301 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:43.679 hell of a fight? 302 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:51.679 The COVID vaccine would still have immunity under the vaccine law. Well, 303 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.480 some of the COVID vaccine, by the way, is covered 304 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.519 by the vaccine law, and some of it wasn't. Once 305 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.559 they got it on the schedule, it was covered, okay, 306 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.679 but the PREP Act covered it for a while. And 307 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.759 so I've also co sponsored a bill by Paul Gosar 308 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.559 to get rid of the vaccine immunity thing. But you've 309 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.599 got things like grim Dezi beer, for instance, which caused 310 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:16.799 kidney failure and he killed a lot of people. It 311 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:21.880 was over prescribed, killed a lot of healthy people who 312 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.279 would have recovered from COVID without it, and that would 313 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.720 be subject to liability. 314 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.920 Well, it'll be interesting. I have my popcorn out waiting 315 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:32.920 to see how this one unfolds. And like I said, 316 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:35.799 big farm is going to throw bi millions and millions 317 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.440 of dollars in opposition to you keep fighting a good 318 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.960 fight on that one. Let's move over to the Prime Act. 319 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.519 You've been working on this one for a while. 320 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.079 I know you're a. 321 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.839 Self sufficient farmer yourself, and you raise your own cattle, 322 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.039 and you have it slaughtered, and appreciate the opportunity to 323 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.759 enjoy some of that beef thanks to your gift to 324 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.359 my son when he was out at your place. But 325 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:58.319 what's the Prime Act and does it have any chance 326 00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:58.960 of moving through? 327 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:05.079 By the way, your son helped me slaughter chickens, that's right, Yeah, 328 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.480 we should have. We should have. The beef are a 329 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.720 little too hard to handle myself, so I did take 330 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.759 them to the processors. Thanks for saving the tastiest part for last, Bryan, 331 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:19.039 the Prime Act. So I'm reintroducing this bill, uh, And 332 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.640 it's you know, it's urgently needed. I just look this 333 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.440 fact up. Us herd inventory of cows the United States 334 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:34.559 is lower than it's been in seventy three years nineteenth. Yeah. So, 335 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.480 and why is that reason? Because it's harder and harder 336 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.640 and harder for farmers to make a profit. All of 337 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:46.799 the branchers. The profits are being made by the four processors. 338 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.400 Two of them are four and owned that process all 339 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.880 the meat in the United States, practically all the meat. 340 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.559 And so what the Prime Act does is it says 341 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:58.880 that as long as you're complying with state law and 342 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:02.880 local health authority, and you're not crossing state lines, that 343 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.559 you don't need the USDA to come in and send 344 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.759 a full time inspector with their own office and their 345 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:13.759 own bathroom in your small mom and pop facility in 346 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.799 order to process meet for your friends and family and 347 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:21.720 neighbors in the community. And I've got some exciting news. 348 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.599 Not only am I reintroducing the Prime Act, which would 349 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.400 allow it to be sold in local restaurants and local 350 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.559 grocery stores, but I've got a pilot program for the 351 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.279 Prime Act that's in the base text of the Farm Bill. 352 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.319 I convinced the Chairman to last Congress to allow this, 353 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.440 and so it actually passed through the Ag Committee and 354 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.319 was in the base text of the Farm Bill. Unfortunately, 355 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:50.119 the Farm Bill did not pass. They haven't brought it up, 356 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.519 but if the Farm Bill passes, we've got a pilot 357 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.519 program for the Prime Act. Now, it wouldn't allow you 358 00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.200 to sell it in restaurants or grocery stores, but it 359 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.559 would allow you to to sell beef by the cut. 360 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:04.880 This is the key beef by the cut and pork 361 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:09.240 by the cut from a local process or directly to consumers. 362 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.839 Right now, you have to buy half the cow to 363 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.200 do this. 364 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.240 Yeah, isn't it crazy how micromanaged we are? And you know, 365 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.960 if it wasn't for one single Supreme Court case, the 366 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.960 federal government would have no control over things that aren't 367 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.960 involving interstate commerce. I mean it's Wickered versus Philbourn, where 368 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.039 they said anything that impacts commerce in the United States, 369 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.160 like grazing your own beef, that impacts the available beef 370 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.240 herds generally speaking, ergo, the federal government can come in 371 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.440 and regulated. That's a preposterous bastardization of the reality of 372 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.799 the Constitution. This prime Act involves beef that is not 373 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:48.039 sent out of state, locally processed, locally raised, locally grown, 374 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.119 locally slaughtered, and sold within the state. So you're not 375 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:52.640 even engaged in interstate commerce. 376 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:59.359 Correct. So you know this is the what is it 377 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.680 the Revenge of Wicker v. Film? Yeah? What Mike Lee 378 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:08.759 calls it. I can't remember who was the defendant. There 379 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:11.960 was it Philburn? Anybody? 380 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:12.839 Yeah? 381 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.720 Growth growing weak on his own property. If I recall correctly, 382 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.640 and he was only using it for his own home consumption, 383 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.559 the ultimate independent farmer doing an independent thing and not 384 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.279 selling it, just using it for his own consumption. And 385 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.160 that opened the door for nationwide regulations which have just 386 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.480 gotten Oh my god, how out of control has that 387 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:37.039 case created for our growing, ever growing federal government bureaucracy. 388 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.000 It was Pandora's box. But we can put this back 389 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.640 in the box for beef, pork, and lamb, and most importantly, 390 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.359 create a path to profitability for farmers. Yes, so that 391 00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:52.720 instead of getting out of the cattle business, to get 392 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.079 into cattle business and for consumers to buy good, locally 393 00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.759 raised beef. And by the way, it's going to get 394 00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.359 it expensive gone again you don't start doing things like this. 395 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.680 There's no amount of money you can subsidize the beef 396 00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.599 industry with that's gonna make up for the prices that 397 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:12.960 are coming. It's already twenty dollars a pound at Kroger's 398 00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:17.640 I've seen. And what's happening, Brian is people when you know, 399 00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:19.640 when you have a calf, it can be a heifer, 400 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.160 it can be a bull, and a bull usually becomes 401 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.039
