He's going to be brought down. 36 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.040 He has to be brought down. And I don't mean physically, 37 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.079 I'm talking about politically. We will bring him down. He 38 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:46.719 will be impeached again. 39 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:54.319 Welcome my friends to the Tuesday edition of bosnurlei'es rush Hour. 40 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.439 Of course, the two voices that let us off of 41 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:06.799 both Texas Democrats, very familiar Democrats, Jasmine Crockett and Al Green. 42 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.759 Texas Democrats are of course defiant, hiding out as they 43 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.280 are in New York, in Illinois and in other places 44 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.319 to avoid doing their duty. This thing is still going on. Sadly, 45 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:31.439 there are some Republicans who seem to be not as 46 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.400 geared up for the fight as they should. NBC News 47 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.960 reports and some swing state swing district Republicans in blue 48 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.360 states object to what's happening with Texas doing their redistricting, 49 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:55.360 and they want to put a stop to jerry mandering. 50 00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.560 Kevin Kylie, we played a lot of soundbites from him. 51 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.319 He's one of the California Republicans in the House, one 52 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.639 of the few in a very heavily gerrymandered state. And 53 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:17.080 Mike Lawler from New York have called to impose nationwide 54 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:25.680 limits on partisan jerrymandering. Of course, Democrats have jerrymandered their 55 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.560 way into being competitive in the House, even though on 56 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.759 the basis of House districts around the country and populations, 57 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.719 perhaps they should have nowhere near the numbers they do. 58 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.639 So I guess these two Republicans want to lock it 59 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.319 in place so that Democrats, no matter how they fail 60 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:50.919 in elections, will still have a competitive edge in House races. 61 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.360 Now to Kylie's defense, he's also suggesting that Gavin Newsom 62 00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.919 is trying to subvert the will of the voters by 63 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.800 doing lasting damage to democracy in California. Fortunately, Congress has 64 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.120 the ability to protect California voters using its authority under 65 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:13.080 the Election Clause of the US Constitution, and he says 66 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.519 that would also stop damaging redistrict wars from happening around 67 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:25.319 the country. Mike Lawler, second term Republican in New York, 68 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.240 gerrymandering is wrong and should be banned everywhere, including New York, Texas, California, 69 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.360 and Illinois. He's introducing legislation to ban it. So I suppose, 70 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.800 in all fairness, one could say, Okay, they have a point. 71 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:49.360 I believe that what we need is, which I've said 72 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:57.680 will never happen, a really scientific method of doing district 73 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.439 thing where you don't get these quiggly dist tricks that 74 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:08.439 are contoured for incumbents to prevail. But in the midst 75 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.959 of this fight, to suggest that all of a sudden 76 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:18.519 we want to put a stop to jerry mandering, okay, 77 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.720 but are you going to go back as part of 78 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.920 that fight and take away the jerrymandering advantages? And we 79 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.639 talked about that in detail yesterday. Let me just pull 80 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:37.920 excuse me a moment, I'm reaching away. Yeah, let me 81 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:43.759 just look at some of the places Illinois fourteen representatives 82 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:49.399 for Democrats, three four Republicans. Despite destroying Republican president press 83 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:55.639 population presence. In Illinois, Maryland, they've all but gotten rid 84 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.639 of Republicans, even though Republicans still have a significant presence 85 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.639 in that state seven representatives to one. There are no 86 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.360 no Republican representatives at all in Massachusetts. And you can 87 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.480 go down the list. You look at what California has done, 88 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:20.680 how they have divvied up their votes. Fifty two representatives, 89 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.759 fifty two in the entire state, only less than ten Republicans. 90 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.639 And California is estimated that Republicans go from anywhere from 91 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.959 thirty six percent of the vote of voters, in some 92 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.199 cases maybe forty. No one thinks that California is a 93 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:48.639 majority Republican state anymore, thanks to certain factors over these 94 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:56.439 twenty thirty forty years, certain factors that are starting to 95 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:04.120 be adjusted for now ice. But California has jerry mandered 96 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.560 their way into a super majority where Republicans have a 97 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.000 voice in virtually nothing. And yet you have Gavin Newsom 98 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.160 saying that he's going to do his best to if 99 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.839 Texas reflects the voters. By the way, you know, you 100 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.199 hear a lot about how racist this is from people 101 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:31.879 like Crockett down there in Georgia, and I'm sorry in Texas. 102 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:39.040 But Bacha Unga Surgan was on CNN and she laid 103 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:44.399 out an interesting fact about these districts, and so let's 104 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.480 just take a listen at that and understand what these 105 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.399 districts are that are being proposed. 106 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.160 Well, jerrymandering is one of those things that everybody does. 107 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:53.279 Like. 108 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.360 The idea that Donald Trump made this up is I think, 109 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:57.759 kind of insane. I don't think you really think that. 110 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.759 I mean, you know, definitely didn't say they fled to Illinois, 111 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.120 which is one of the most you know, gerrymandered state 112 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.800 states in the Union. I happen to love this story 113 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.839 because I love the political theater of it all. I 114 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.399 love that they absconded. I love that now there are 115 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.160 arrest warrants out. I think that the American people don't 116 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.759 care at all about this. But what's most interesting to 117 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.120 me about this is that these new five you know, 118 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:28.040 potential Republican controlled districts are all majority Hispanic. The Republicans 119 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.759 are leaning into the victories that Trump had with Hispanic 120 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.600 voters in twenty twenty four and saying, hey, we're gonna 121 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.519 bet on ourselves. We're gonna bet that we're gonna keep 122 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.399 these voters and we're going to try to get them 123 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.559 into our coalition via these districts. And it's amazing to 124 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.639 me that the Democrats, instead of fighting for those voters, 125 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.440 are just kind of running away and seeing the point 126 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.399 that these that these Republican districts full of Hispanics are 127 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.559 now going to go for Republicans eternally. 128 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.799 Yeah, Now that's really interesting because if these district lines 129 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.120 are changed, they're still going to be majority Hispanic districts, 130 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.000 which one would think under the old way of thinking 131 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.639 pre Trump, means that Democrats would certainly own them. But 132 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.679 Democrats are scared. Now who are the congress people that 133 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.679 are going would be affected if this happens? Well? Al 134 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:25.159 Green is one, Vicenta Gunzalez, Henry I use I just 135 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.200 I always mispronounced his name. I call him sailor, but 136 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:34.039 that's not his name. Quelar Henry Kuehlar, Lloyd Doggett is 137 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.720 another one, and Greg Cisar. So I mean, you would 138 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.120 think that in a heavily Hispanic district, certainly Greg Cizar 139 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.720 would have nothing to worry about. Vicentake Gunzalez would have 140 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.240 nothing about Henry Sela would have nothing to worry about. 141 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.639 If if we were just playing identity politics, which the 142 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:02.159 Democrats play, Al Green to a li lesser extent. Lloyd Doggett, 143 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:07.799 longtime fixture in Texas politics, another that should have a 144 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:12.840 base no matter how the lines are drawn. But Democrats 145 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:20.879 nonetheless are frightened and worried, even though they don't want 146 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:26.120 to admit it now. Yesterday we reported that Greg Abbott 147 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.039 said he's going to perhaps if Democrats took money from 148 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:36.200 other people to aid their escape into these other states, 149 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.120 that might be considered bribery, might be considered a felony. 150 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.200 He's also looked and look. Kim Paxton, the Attorney General, 151 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.960 was on Fox yesterday. He said democratrats fleeing Texas to 152 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.559 avoid a vote would face consequences either from the state 153 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:59.200 House or from the state Supreme Court. But he's saying 154 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:04.679 the speaker can find them. There are other consequences in 155 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:09.440 the House. But this is he's not saying that this 156 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.440 is going to be an easy matter. Typically, what we've 157 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.799 done is we have governors, the Republican governments. We just 158 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.200 keep calling special sessions because ultimately these people don't want 159 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.840 to typically live in the state that they were going to, 160 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:27.519 and they ultimately come back. Patson said yesterday, if we 161 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.440 can't arrest them, we want to have an opportunity potentially 162 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.440 to take them out of office, force them at least 163 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.480 force them to come back to Texas for a court hearing. 164 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.080 These radical Democrats are spitting in the face of every 165 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.600 Texan they swore to represent. Now, yesterday the Texas House 166 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.840 passed a motion to issue arrest warrants for the Democrats 167 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:59.279 who fled the state. So we shall see what happens there. 168 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.720 The FBI has been asked. Senator John Cornyn of Texas 169 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.440 has asked the FBI today. He asked them to help 170 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:14.879 locate and arrest dozens of Democrat state lawmakers who left Texas. Now, 171 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:19.559 I don't know, what do you think the chances are 172 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.279 the FBI wants to be involved in this? What do 173 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.919 you think the chances are that Pam Bondi cash Petel? 174 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.000 What do you think Donald Trump would offer even though 175 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.360 he doesn't run it. This is the FBI is under 176 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:38.879 DOJ But what do you think the chances are of 177 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:44.600 the FBI getting involved, going to hunt these Democrats down 178 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.879 in different states and then arresting them and sending them 179 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:55.039 back to Texas. I don't. I don't know. It would 180 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.600 be a very aggressive move. Do you think they're gonna 181 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:06.919 do it? I don't. Yeah, cashpatlogies, reassigned people. I still 182 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.679 don't think politically that's going to happen. I don't think 183 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:12.879 it's a good political look. I don't think they're going 184 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:18.279 to want to do that. But yesterday, as he said, 185 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:23.840 Governor Abbot said that Democrats were committing could be committing 186 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:29.960 felonies if if they solicit funds to pay the five 187 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:35.720 hundred dollars in daily fines that they face for skipping 188 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:40.960 this session. He was on with Hannity. That's cut four, Carlos. 189 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.720 Let's just listen to what Governor Greg Abbot said last 190 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.200 night while he was with Hannity. 191 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.440 For example, I think Donald Trump won in all five 192 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.879 of these seas that we will be making Republican seats. 193 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.799 The same thing. 194 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.200 Should apply in all those other states. 195 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.799 Sean that you mentioned in. 196 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.519 Your monologue where you pointed out the gross jurymandering in 197 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:06.000 these blue states have rejected Republican candidates for office that 198 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.480 should be serving those states, should be serving our country. 199 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.559 It's a jerrymandering in the blue states that has started 200 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.960 the politics in America. 201 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.799 All right, Governor, good for you, good for the fight. 202 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.480 We'll see if these guys show up and do their job. 203 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.200 And Yeah, well, good luck on that.

I you know, there's some things that I 209 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.679 found regarding work. We talk all the time as Republicans 210 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:46.879 about the work or conservatives rather about the work ethic. 211 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.600 There are some things I want you to hear on 212 00:14:52.759 --> 00:15:03.080 social media concerning the work ethic in America. Nineteen ninety two, 213 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:12.039 Toto's drummer Jeff Picaro, brother of Steve Piccaro, the Percaro Brothers. 214 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.559 They were amazing, passed away from a heart attack. He 215 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:21.879 was just thirty eight years old. Controversy in the death. 216 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.200 Some say it was caused by an allergic reaction to 217 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:29.279 garden pesticide. Others say, and what was the coch chain 218 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:35.039 and Henry smoking? Uh Anyway, Yeah, I we don't weigh 219 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.600 in on that. We just remember Jeff Picaro and the 220 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.399 great music from Toto. 221 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.360 The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple 222 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:58.320 Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and 223 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.519 informative on the Red Apple podcast networks. 224 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.759 I was so looking forward to just right after that 225 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.600 commercial break, telling you about Chuck Todd and what he 226 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:14.240 had to say, recognizing in his cut that Illinois is 227 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.519 one of the and no one can deny it jerry 228 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:20.879 mandered states, how ironic Democrats chose to flee there. Carlos 229 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.360 always ask interesting questions. I'm so glad he does, he said. 230 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.600 He asked me about the term jerrymandering, and I used 231 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.600 to know it, and I forgot it over the years, 232 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.840 so I revisited it. The term jerry mandering began in 233 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:39.919 eighteen twelve. And where else Massachusetts, which to this day 234 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:46.879 has zero Republican representatives in that state. In eighteen twelve, 235 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.919 Governor l Bridge Jerry G. E. R. Roy signed a 236 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:59.240 bill redrawing the electoral boundaries of Massachusetts for the state Senate. 237 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.960 It favored his own party, something called the Democratic Republican Party, 238 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:10.799 which sounds like a yata. One of those districts, located 239 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.960 in Essex County, was drawn in a in a bizarre 240 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:21.680 elongated shape, so the Boston Gazette published a political cartoon 241 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:28.720 depicting this oddly shaped district as a monstrous salamander with 242 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:37.799 claws and wings. The cartoon titled the Jerry Mander. It 243 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.319 combined his name, of course, with that salamander imagery, and 244 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:47.039 ever since then, the term jerry mandering has been used 245 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:55.160 to describe the manipulation of political districts for political advantage. 246 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.759 Now he signed the bill. The redistricting was supposed to 247 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:04.599 benefit his party, but despite the success of the redistricting 248 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.799 for his party, he lost in the next gubernatorial election. 249 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.960 That wasn't the end of his political career, Olbridge. Jerry 250 00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:21.079 became vice president of James Madison. We'll be back, folks, 251 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.680 don't go away. 252 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.839 The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple 253 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:38.759 Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden Entertaining and 254 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.960 informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 255 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.759 I want to shift gears here, folks. Yeah, we're going 256 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:50.039 to continue to talk about the Texas redixtract thing, but 257 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.920 this may be a little bit closer to home for all. 258 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.720 I wonder if any of you have had an experience 259 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.400 like this woman. 260 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.640 I'm not sure what has happened, but I went into 261 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.240 a sandwich shop and I went up to the window 262 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.839 ordered the sandwich. I wanted which was a pre built menu. 263 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.680 It wasn't like I went down the line and you 264 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.160 built the sandwich for me in front of me. I ordered, 265 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:13.599 and I got a drink and I went to pay 266 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.480 for it, which I picked up at a different window, 267 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.559 and I went to go pay and I pressed no 268 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.519 on a tip and the transaction went through, and she said, 269 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.359 you didn't tip me. I said, I know, I know, 270 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.480 and I was very kind, very polite, like right. She said, 271 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.720 well why not? And I said, well, I just I 272 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.839 ordered a sandwich and I'm getting it to go. There 273 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:36.319 was you know, I didn't feel like there was a 274 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.920 tip needed. She goes, well, everybody tips us, and she goes, 275 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.880 we were making your sandwich for you. And I said, 276 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.960 isn't that what your hourly salery wage is for? And 277 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:49.640 I guess I was like dumbfounded just a little bit. 278 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.039 And I I still feel like I'm in shock and 279 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:56.519 speechless just a little bit. But I am all for 280 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.599 tips where it's deserved, you know, bartenders, servers. Wa Eature says, 281 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:04.200 you know your hairstylist sometimes and however that works and 282 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.519 you're part of the if it's built or you go 283 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:09.599 to a car whatever, I am all for leaving a 284 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.480 tip when it's a service job that you have given 285 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:16.519 me a service for and an appropriate tip. But all 286 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:20.720 I did was walk to the window, order and take 287 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:24.319 it with me. Why should I have been felt guilty 288 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.720 to not have left a tip on an eight dollars 289 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:28.799 sandwich that was on your menu? 290 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.279 You shouldn't. I don't know. 291 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.400 I gotta get over that one before I drive away. 292 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.240 What would you tell the woman? What would any of you? 293 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.440 I know the three letters that I would that are 294 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:48.000 an acronym for what I would want to say O 295 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:58.440 KM anyway, twenty seven Beatles fans, not the Beatles. Beatles 296 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.680 fans were a little bit outrage by what they considered 297 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:09.319 to be the misuse of Beatles music. The big joiant 298 00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:15.119 conglomerate Procter and Gamble had purchased the rights to use 299 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:25.519 this song, so they put it on an ad featuring 300 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.400 a baby jumping on a Teddy Bear in a disposable 301 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:40.599 nappy diaper which offered the ultimate leak protection. And Beatles 302 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:53.400 frands are like, really, this great song for leak proof diapers, Hey, 303 00:21:54.359 --> 00:22:00.279 and leakproof diapers, and make sure that the older doesn't 304 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.720 come out either. Well, you know they don't just leak. 305 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:13.039 They do other things with those nappies. James Golding surly 306 00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:15.799 here with you. Okay, we started, we might as well 307 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:23.759 continue down this work trail. Let's see the AX Secretary 308 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:29.279 Brooke Rollins was on Fox Business and she was asked 309 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.799 about jobs, jobs, because you know, previously she said, look, 310 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.400 when people were complaining about unemployment, unemployment, especially among government workers, 311 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:42.079 she was saying, look they can there are jobs out here, 312 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.480 get a job on a farm, even, and some people 313 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.039 just took that and ran with it. So she was 314 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.839 asked about it literly bonic there, and this is what 315 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.240 she said, cut fifteen. 316 00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.200 And we're moving the people at USDA closer to those 317 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.000 we serve, the farmers, ranchers, and producers. So we're about 318 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.119 fifteen thousand jobs less than we were when we started 319 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:04.359 several months ago. 320 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:05.640 So let me get this right. 321 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.880 You've got fifteen thousand. I'm not going to call them 322 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.200 job cuts, but there are fifteen thousand fewer people at 323 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.640 your department than there were a few months ago. 324 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:14.839 And that's right. 325 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.559 You're moving two thousand, six hundred people out of DC 326 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.519 and you're putting them in regional offices. Is that decentralization? 327 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:24.279 We are. 328 00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.759 That's what we call draining the swamp. We are deconstructing 329 00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:31.640 the Washington administrative state. Listen, the founding fathers had a 330 00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.119 vision that the federal government should be small, that the 331 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.599 government closest to the people under the Tenth Amendment is 332 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.839 the government that should be in charge of America. Of course, 333 00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.559 that's gone completely upside down over the last one hundred 334 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:46.240 or so years under frankly, both Republicans and Democrats. This 335 00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.079 president's vision is to move government out of Washington, and 336 00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.599 USDA is one of the largest agencies, and we we're 337 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.119 basically enacting his vision at warp speed. So we're really 338 00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:59.319 proud of this plan and we think it's going to 339 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.440 be great for amy at you now. 340 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.240 She also wanted to say that we need to really 341 00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:10.000 think about the way that people that we work nothing wrong. 342 00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:13.599 We're working on farms, nothing, so they're reducing jobs over there, 343 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:20.839 they're reducing jobs. Some people are complaining, well, everybody doesn't 344 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:24.440 have the same kind We know this, folks, everybody doesn't 345 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:28.599 have the same kind of work ethics that many of 346 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:33.920 us grew up with. I have two sound bites or 347 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:39.119 like you to pay attention to with regard to work, work. 348 00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:45.240 If you come from a family where you are taught 349 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.960 the value of hard work, you grow up understanding this 350 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:55.640 what happens if you don't cut fourteen. This is what 351 00:24:55.759 --> 00:25:00.240 happens when you grow up in a family where work 352 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:04.519 is not considered a way of life. 353 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.519 So my sister made a video about how my whole 354 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.720 entire family gets EBT and everyone is calling us bombs 355 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:14.119 because we don't work and we live off the government, 356 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:15.119 and we are. 357 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.720 Proud of that. 358 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.599 Growing up, this is what we were taught. We were 359 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.680 taught to not have to work. We were taught to 360 00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.519 live off the government because it is there for us 361 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:27.279 to use. And from what I could remember, it all 362 00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.599 started back with my grandparents. My grandparents used to get 363 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.680 the paper, like the paper coupons to go and pay for. 364 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:35.000 You know, food and stuff like that. 365 00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:37.599 And that's when I was like, this is free money, 366 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.480 like what So living off of EBT is literally a 367 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.880 tradition in our family. Once my grandparents passed away, my 368 00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.079 mom started, you know, applying, and she got approved for 369 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:50.119 off six. 370 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:50.960 Of us kids. 371 00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.759 And then you know, once my sister got older, she 372 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:56.720 had her first child, she applied for food stamps and 373 00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:58.680 she got you know like it was.
