WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:01.720 Hear about it. 2 00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.080 Understand the ignorant chick on the campuses talk about it. 3 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.080 They're just getting away with all this rather than knowing fact. 4 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:13.960 Fifty five KRC at six at fifty five r C 5 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.000 DE talk station Happy Thursday Extra Special. Happy Thursday didn't 6 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:22.079 get him yesterday in advanced to Judge Jennitapolitano, but we 7 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.960 get him today. Congressman Massey, welcome back to the fifty 8 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.839 five KRC Morning Show. It's always a pleasure to have 9 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:27.719 you on my program. 10 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.679 Great to be back on Brian. 11 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.280 How you feeling post election, Congressman. 12 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.479 Oh, it's so great up here. The Liberals are just deflated. 13 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.320 Yesterday I walked out of our conference where we're voting 14 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.560 for Speaker and Majority Leader and whip and everything down 15 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.479 to executive Vice Deputy prom queen. 16 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.119 I call it. It's like prom court for the GOP. 17 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.039 Anyways, I walked out of that meeting and I was 18 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.960 the only Republican who wasn't in the meeting. So I 19 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.359 got swarmed by the media and I'm trying to go 20 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.439 up the escalator and escape them, and they keep pelting 21 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.920 me with what about Matt Gates? 22 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.280 What about that? Can he be confirmed? 23 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.879 And I I just kind of turned around and smiled 24 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.319 and I said, hey, you can do recess appointments. 25 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.079 And they were like, but what, And I looked at him, 26 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.079 I said, suck it up. He's your ag. 27 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.159 And they caught it on video. So now I'm in 28 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.599 a little bit of trouble telling reporters to suck it up. 29 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:24.519 But if you could have seen the looks on their 30 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.879 faces when I said recess appointments, and they went from 31 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.680 shock to terror when I said suck it up. 32 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.959 So you're okay with with Gates? And iad some listeners 33 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.760 bad ideas. Some listeners say it's a great idea. You 34 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.840 can't please all the people all the time, that's one thing, 35 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.480 I know. And you don't throw out the good for 36 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.560 the sake of trying to find the perfect because that 37 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.159 person doesn't exist. But overall you're comfortable with it. 38 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.560 Oh well, listen, I've got disagreements with Matt Gates. He 39 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.439 should have never pulled the trigger on Kevin McCarthy because 40 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.120 he ended up with Mike Johnson, who was not doing 41 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.680 the job that Kevin did. And so you know, but 42 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.560 Matt and I we talk, we're friends. We've had that discussion, 43 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.280 but we also serve together on the Judiciary Committee, and 44 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.599 we get Merrick Garland, who comes in there, and may 45 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.400 Orcus comes in there, and the ATF director comes in there, 46 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.560 FBI Director Christopher Ray, and they all give us these Well, sir, 47 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.599 that's the subject of an ongoing investigation, and it's our 48 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.120 long standing policy. Not the comment. But Matt just he's 49 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.800 been tearing them up for years. He and I have 50 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.360 been passing the ball back and forth. 51 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:33.400 If I get. 52 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.680 Five minutes and I only need three of it, I 53 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.560 give two to Matt. And I told Matt I can't 54 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.199 wait till he comes to Judiciary as the age and 55 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.960 I get to pelt him with questions. 56 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.639 Ah, well, I'm glad you know you Obviously you sound uplifted, bubbly. 57 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:56.039 Obviously you're enjoying the schadenfreud of the Democrats are allowing you, 58 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.120 So I am as well. I'll have to admit. 59 00:02:58.400 --> 00:02:58.520 Now. 60 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.639 The other day I saw was posted somewhere on the Internet, 61 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.840 some place out there, Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Massey, and 62 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.479 I echoed that on my Facebook page, and some people said, no, no, no, no no. 63 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.360 If he was Secretary of Agriculture, then we'd lose him. 64 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.159 In Congress. We can't afford to lose anybody, so not 65 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.759 as sure how a replacement will be put in for 66 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.159 you if that were to happen. But I thought to 67 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.000 myself this morning, even said it on the program. Well, 68 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.080 Thomas Massey's the kind of guy that if he was 69 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.000 Secretary of Agriculture, he would do everything in his power 70 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.919 to whittle away the Agriculture Department of virtually nothing and 71 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.039 maybe even eliminated so he would be out a job. 72 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.840 He's the kind of person that would do that. What's 73 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.800 your reaction to the concept of being agricultural secretary and 74 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.520 what would you do if you were in that role, 75 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.400 either really or under a hypothetical scenario. 76 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.960 Well, first of all, my approach would not be to 77 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.319 do what you just said. I think there's some important 78 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.919 things that the USDA does, and you know, we've got 79 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.759 big ag and then we've got small farmers. We've got 80 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.800 the corporate you know, industrial meat complex where you've got 81 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.960 four meat processors touching eighty five percent of the meat 82 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.479 in the United States, and then you get the small 83 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.360 farmers trying to sell directly to consumers. My approach would 84 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:18.040 not be to do anything that would hurt our agriculture industry, 85 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.199 and I think there are things that we could do 86 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.680 to strengthen our agriculture industry, and that includes big companies, 87 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.120 but we need to create a parallel path for small 88 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.360 farmers and for consumers because these these are part of 89 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.680 the coalition that helped Trump get elected, particularly in Pennsylvania 90 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.199 where you know you had Amos Miller being prosecuted for 91 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.240 trying to sell raw milk and meat to directly. Well, 92 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.399 the problem is we don't have that alternate path right 93 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:54.160 now in the agriculture sector. And you know, the usda 94 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:59.759 IS has been captive to the big corporations, and somebody 95 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.839 needs be there to create this parallel path for healthy 96 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.439 food that's not you know, grown the way everything else 97 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:07.959 has grown. 98 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.839 We need a way to get food that's. 99 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:16.439 Not you know, ultra ultra processed, and that would be 100 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.800 my approach to it. Create this off ramp, this parallel 101 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.160 path for those folks and make sure that we are 102 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.600 still the strongest agricultural producer in the world. We have, 103 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.959 for instance, four times the arable land that China has. 104 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.800 Our land mass is about the same North America, but 105 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.120 we've got four times the arable land that they have. 106 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.120 And one quarter of the population they have. So our 107 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.720 race of arable land to people is sixteen times greater 108 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.240 than China and we need to take advantage. 109 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:46.399 Of that resource. 110 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.879 Another thing, Brian, you know people are upset that are, 111 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.600 and rightfully so, that our farm land is being sold 112 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.399 to China, or that our farm land's getting covered with 113 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.120 solar panels. By the way, I love solar panels, nothing 114 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.800 against them, but it's stupid to cover up your farmland 115 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.839 with solar panels. And the question is not how do 116 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.639 you get the toothpaste back in the tube. Like there's 117 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.800 some people say, well, we should pass laws to prevent 118 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.480 China or corporations from buying up all this farm land. 119 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.600 We should pass laws to keep the solar panels out 120 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.759 of the fields. The reality is that's trying to put 121 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.040 the toothpaste back in the tube. What we need is 122 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.240 an economic model for farmers who own this land that's 123 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.480 better than selling their land to China or for solar panels. 124 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.040 They need to be profitable. 125 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.480 Again, that's because having China buy our land or having 126 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.199 solar panels go in it, that's a symptom of a problem. 127 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.319 That's not the problem. The problem is there's not. 128 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.720 A profitable model for small farming in the United States anymore. 129 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.319 It's too hard to achieve. 130 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.480 Well, it's also a symptom of one of the reasons 131 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.800 farming has gotten more expensive, like global warming or temperature 132 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.800 change or whatever, which reduces the amount of available fertilizer 133 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.040 because they won't allow us to tap into our petrochemical 134 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.759 the oil and the natural or gas and things that 135 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.160 are necessary to make fertilizer. That's the reason they would 136 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.879 make a field of solar panels. I mean, I am 137 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:14.040 just beyond myself with relation to this religion, this pseudo religion, 138 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.920 that is, we are exhaling our way to devastation. I 139 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.920 don't buy it, and I view it as a mechanism 140 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.199 to simply liberate money from the very wealthy countries of 141 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.240 the world and offload that via the claims of climate 142 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.160 alarmism to third world countries who haven't really, you know, 143 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.759 passed the test of economic mustard. 144 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.240 This is a scientific fact. People can argue about this, 145 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.399 but they're just ignorant. If they do, you get more 146 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.639 cropial per acre as the concentration of CO two, which 147 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.319 is a very small trace gas. 148 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.800 In the atmosphere, goes up. 149 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.519 Plant food. 150 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.519 It is plant food, it is plant fertilized. When everybody 151 00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.680 knows that plants take CO two and they make oxygen 152 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.879 or transform it into oxygen, the question, and there's water 153 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.879 involved there too. The question is what happened to the carbon? Right, 154 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.360 you've got a carbon dioxide molecule. It doesn't just turn 155 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.360 into an oxygen molecule. The carbon goes somewhere. Where does 156 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:21.360 it go through? Yeah, it's it's the glucose that becomes 157 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.959 other forms of sugar and carbohydrates. They're called carbohydrates for 158 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.560 a reason. Right, there's water and carbon involved, and people 159 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.959 forget that all of the carbon that you end up 160 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.480 eating it came originated not in the ground, but from 161 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:35.879 the air. 162 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.759 It's I remember learning that when I was in I 163 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.000 was like K through twelve. 164 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.799 Or the eighth grade. 165 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.840 I think is the last time they show you that 166 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:52.559 chemical equation where water plus CO two becomes oxygen and glucose, 167 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.519 and everybody just remembers that on one side is carbon 168 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.399 dioxide and on the other is oxygen. They forget that 169 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.320 there's water on the left side of that equation and 170 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.120 glucose on the right side of the equation, and sunlight 171 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.799 is what helps put the energy in to transform that. 172 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.799 Well, of course, that's why we have you here on 173 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.559 the Morning show to help back up my point. Would 174 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.240 I make almost every day anymore on that subject matter 175 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:19.080 Congress from Massey and hopefully this administration will open itself 176 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.559 up to some more greater scientific reality. 177 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.200 Well, so, by the way, I haven't been chosen. There's 178 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.919 a rumor on the internet that I've been chosen. I've 179 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:32.840 not been chosen. There are people advocating on the inside 180 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.919 for me to have that position, But I have not 181 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.840 been chosen by any stretch of the imagination. But you 182 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.879 would consider it, oh, I would absolutely consider it. 183 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.879 Embrace it. It sounds like there's so much. 184 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.639 That's going on at the USDA for which there is 185 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.799 no congressional mandate. There's no congressional authorization. And this if 186 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.720 you go into any branch of the administration you will 187 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.120 see this. They're promulgating rules and as you said, some 188 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.039 of them are make it most stuff that make it 189 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.519 harder for small farms to exist. But they're promulgating these 190 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.559 rules whereas Congress never told. 191 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.120 Them to do that. For instance, electronic ID for cattle. 192 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.679 Congress never passed the law asking the USDA to require 193 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.519 that all cattle and bison in the United States get 194 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.120 an electronic tag in their ear. 195 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.840 Yet the USDA is promulgating that. 196 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.200 I'm sorry, I'm just laughing at the idiot who came 197 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.200 up with that idea and what the purpose of it is. 198 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.679 Let's pause. We'll bring you back in comment further on that. 199 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.519 We obviously got a lot more to talk about Congressman 200 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.600 Thomas Massey on the fifty five Carty Morning Show. First though, 201 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.679 twenty two to three, Firearm Store and Range got a 202 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.960 Mantis demo day coming up this Saturday. Now, this demo 203 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.320 takes place between ten am and two pm. You can 204 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.440 check it out yourself. The Mantis Live or dry fire 205 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:55.120 training system. This system helps you dramatically improve your accuracy 206 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:59.159 with pistols, rifles, and even shotguns by giving you trackable data, 207 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.200 congestions for improvement, and creative and challenging drills. It's a 208 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.519 multifaceted system and it's a great idea. So it's a 209 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.919 heck a great gift idea for the shooter in your 210 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.879 world or for someone who's just starting out wants to 211 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.159 be able to train at home again. You can do 212 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.679 it live or dry fire, So stop by twenty two 213 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.039 to three for a free Mantis demo day Saturday between 214 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.279 ten am and two pm. You can find them online 215 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.279 at twenty two three the number twenty two five by 216 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.799 the word three spelled up. Please tell him, Brian said, 217 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.399 high when you stop in greatest gun shop and firing 218 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.799 range indoor firing range around twenty two to three on 219 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.559 Route forty two between Mason and Lebanon. 220 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.559 Fifty five krc is the cost of health insurance making 221 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.360 you sick real quick. 222 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.679 Before we leave the topic of agriculture, and yes, you 223 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.080 would take the role as agriculture secretary if it's offered 224 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.360 to you. So let's get him in that role. One 225 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.000 thing I want to know, and again it springs from 226 00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:03.639 this climate religion. Can we stop burning and are gasoline tanks? Congressomassy. 227 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.879 It definitely raises the price of food in the supermarket, 228 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.919 but the farmers like it because it also raises the 229 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.919 price of cornet. They get I'm sure there's something we 230 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.720 could do that would make more sense. 231 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.840 You're like not doing that well. 232 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.159 And you know, here's what I would like to do. 233 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.720 Like to talk to Elon and vivek Over at their 234 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.960 department of government efficiency that's been set up by the 235 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.039 way I've been I've been talking to Viveik. In fact, 236 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:34.720 the other day I said, I tweeted this. Look, Congress 237 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.720 takes over on January third, and you'll have a new 238 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.600 majority in the Senate on January third, for instance. But 239 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.720 the president's not sworn in until January twentieth. We've got 240 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.279 seventeen days. We should put at least a dozen bills 241 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.840 on Trump's desk that are ready to sign when he 242 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.320 sits down. Oh yeah, I know, he's got a list 243 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.039 of things to do by executive order and executive orders 244 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.879 to resind. But to make this stuff stick, you need legislation. Yes, 245 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.440 so and so, Viveik asked me, well, what's some of 246 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.200 those bills, And I said, well, the first one I 247 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.440 would put on his desk is one that's passed the 248 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.759 House multiple times. It's been debated, it's been amended, it's 249 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.759 been perfected, the Rains Act. 250 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.039 Oh yeah, right. 251 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.440 If anything's got more than one hundred million dollars of 252 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:22.440 economic impact, and it's a rule that's being promulgated by 253 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:27.000 an administrative branch, say, for instance, the USDA, then it 254 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.960 needs to come back to Congress for a vote. 255 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.799 That's just common sense. 256 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.440 And we've already amended and debated and written that bill. 257 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.399 That thing is now we'd have to pass it again 258 00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.360 between January third and January twentieth and send it to 259 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.440 the Senate and they would have to pass it. But 260 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.320 why couldn't we get that passed and get it on 261 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.159 President Trump's desk and then we're ready to go on 262 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.559 day one and make it law. It's something that would 263 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.200 then be in law, and it would be forever until, 264 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.720 for instance, the Democrats got control of the both chambers 265 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:02.960 and the Presidency in order to reverse it. 266 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.320 If they could try, if. 267 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.519 They could try, if they dare to do that politically 268 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:10.039 it maybe they're undoing. Now back to the Department of 269 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.799 Government Efficiency, which I love the idea. How you could 270 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.200 put elon Musk and Viva Grammar swimming in a room 271 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.559 and just stick the word doge on the wall and 272 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.840 that would be a department. They don't have to be funded. 273 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.639 Judseh Polyotonic got a little bent out of shape yesterday 274 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.639 over the idea of having a new department that isn't 275 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.799 authorized by the Constitution. I said, well, you don't need 276 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.360 to make an apartment. You just have two guys with 277 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.440 a pair of scissors just starting to cut the fat 278 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.720 out of it. But it's an unlimited amount of fact 279 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.240 they can cut out. Do you think it will be effective? 280 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.240 Do you think they can actually get something accomplished by 281 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.960 what way of pairing down the size and scope of government? 282 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:49.519 Well, but eventually that has to be enacted either through 283 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.919 an Act of Congress or through an executive act, because 284 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:57.600 the Office of Government Efficiency won't be an official office, 285 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.600 per you, like these other offices, and so somebody will 286 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.320 have to implement it. 287 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.080 So it's going to be a list of recommendations. By 288 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.200 the way, back on the. 289 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.200 Ethanol thing, there's a certain amount of ethanol that makes 290 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.840 sense because you can change the octane rating of gasoline. 291 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.799 But the problem with where we are right now in 292 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.720 ethanol policy is when you push it to be over 293 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.960 a certain amount, it becomes economically inefficient. 294 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.200 So that's something to. 295 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.720 Look at, but it's unnecessary. If you ignore this religion, 296 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.480 then it wouldn't have happened in the first place. My 297 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.159 problem is the genesis of the idea of burning food 298 00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.240 in the gas tank comes from the whole concept of 299 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.080 global warming or something you know. 300 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.879 What I found interesting is when gasoline got high, it 301 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.240 is Biden's policy to allow more ethanol to be put 302 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.120 in the gasoline in California where it causes a smog problem. Yeah, 303 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.120 and he said, well, you know what, We'll let you 304 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.639 have a little bit of smog from the increased ethanol 305 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.519 if it will lower gasoline prices in California. So it's 306 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:03.799 funny that cling to these things until it becomes apparent 307 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:05.000 to the public what's. 308 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.399 Causing the increase in price, and then they go the 309 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.679 other direction. I don't know. 310 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.480 I guess everyone's running around in advance of the elections 311 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.879 screaming about this project twenty twenty five as if it 312 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.279 was something that was part of the Republican Party strategy. No, 313 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.039 it was recommendations from an entity and a group of 314 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.399 people outside of government. They got the whole thing together. 315 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:25.919 It's a think tank paper. Here's every wish list we've 316 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.000 got going back to the Department of Government Efficiency. I 317 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.200 don't know why would have to be funded or anything 318 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.919 other than a couple of guys going through the books 319 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.440 and writing down all the stuff that is fraud, waste 320 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.120 and abuse and handing it over to you. Congressman Massey 321 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.039 to just put it into legislation and start cutting I mean, I. 322 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.200 Got to tell you, Congress came up with this thing 323 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.159 inside of the Patent Office that invalidates patents. Now here's 324 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.360 the funny thing. The Patent Office, in the same branch 325 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.679 of government. They issue patents, and then they have this 326 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.279 kangaroo court that invalidates patents after they've issued them, so 327 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.879 that they're literally creating patents and destroying them in the 328 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.319 same agency. 329 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.279 It's a self licking ice cream cone. 330 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.160 And the and the part of the Patent Office that 331 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.000 destroys the patents, it's a it's a court room, but 332 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.279 we already have courts to. 333 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:14.119 Settle these matters. 334 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.880 So they created another judicial branch inside of the patent 335 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.920 office to kill patents. It's a It's one example of 336 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.960 how government is basically, you know, making windows and then 337 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.599 breaking the windows, and we need to find things like 338 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.920 that and and eliminate them. 339 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.119 Couldn't agree more. There's one right there. Just put it 340 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.559 in a piece of legislation and eliminate it. It's done. 341 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:37.960 It doesn't require a new department to do that. It 342 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:43.400 requires someone with a pen and ability to creatively write legislation. 343 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.240 Pursuing to the rules of legislative drafting. See law school 344 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:48.519 for that. 345 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:50.680 Yeah, we've got a lot of We've got a lot 346 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:51.240 of good stuff. 347 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.480 By the way, Briant, this pent up that we've passed 348 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:57.119 the House, or it's passed our Judiciary committee, like giving 349 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.640 a right of action for people to sue government agents 350 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.400 that in front on their first Amendment. Like, that's another 351 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.240 bill we should send right over to the Sinne. 352 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.359 Oh, that would be great, no more standing arguments, you 353 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.240 would have standing wonderful. Oh, I'm getting excited about the 354 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.680 future here.
