Welcome back, my friend. 9 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.320 It's a pleasure having you on my program. 10 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.000 Wow, I feel like I've been run over by a 11 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:29.559 freight train. 12 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:30.879 That's good to be on. 13 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.359 Well, you know, I z Iggy Pop observed the lust 14 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.039 for life. You know, I've had it in the year before. 15 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:36.719 You've got in the year before. But have you ever 16 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.399 got into the ear before? From Tom Donald Trump? He 17 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:41.600 came out swinging the other day on social media and 18 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.039 asking the UV primary because you set it out loud 19 00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.320 in advance of the Continued Resolution vote that you would 20 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.880 be a no, and you delivered on your promise. It 21 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.320 was a two seventeen to two thirteen pass with one Democrat, 22 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.520 Jared Golden from Maine, defying his party. But you defied 23 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.280 your party and said no. What was the premise behind 24 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.000 your Well, first of all, if your reaction to Donald 25 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.520 Trump actually singling you out. 26 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.159 Well, you know, President Trump went after Canada and me yesterday, 27 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.760 and the difference is Canada is eventually going to cave. 28 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.359 Yeah, I know you're not one to cave, standing on principle, 29 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:17.760 now your principal. 30 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.640 Yeah, let me give you the simplest description of what 31 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.120 this bill does. This is a continuing resolution. It's a 32 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:29.560 cut copy paste of last year's budget, which means yesterday 33 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.640 every Republican except for me, voted to lock in Biden's 34 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.040 agenda and the exact same spending levels on the exact 35 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.239 same things until September thirtieth. Like they have now tied 36 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.519 Trump's hands until September thirtieth on all the discretionary spending. 37 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:48.959 It's off the table. 38 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.280 Doach, you can't cut it, et cetera, et cetera. Now 39 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.719 there is one chance, a last ditch chance, which is 40 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.359 you can do recisions. You can get Bill's pass with 41 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.480 fifty one votes in the Senate to take some of 42 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:03.239 the spending out. 43 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.040 But for now they. 44 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:10.280 Have respent, refunded all of the DOGE cuts, those waste 45 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.360 fraud abuse that we're supposed to get cut. Congress just 46 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.439 re upped it. And Brian, I love coming on your show, 47 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.120 because we could go back and find the history of 48 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.560 me telling you what's going to happen, and then it happened. 49 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.120 Yeah, it's true. Yeah. 50 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.840 This spending bill was due on September thirtieth of last year. Okay, 51 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.560 and instead of doing the twelve separate bills, which is 52 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.840 what we should be doing, people are always like, well, 53 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.599 Connor's and Massy, what would you do. I would do 54 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.439 twelve separate bills and take the threat of a shutdown 55 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.960 off the table. Because if you put twelve bills over 56 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.199 in the Senate and they don't like three of them, well, 57 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.039 there's only three things that are not funded. Nine tenths 58 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.400 nine twelves of the government gets funded. So they didn't 59 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.199 do twelve bills by September thirtieth, So they did a CR. 60 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.639 They said, Okay, we don't want to before the November election. 61 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.639 It's too important. We might lose the majority if we fight, 62 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.479 and we might not win the White House if we fight. 63 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.120 So let's fight after the election. 64 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:10.080 So they punted it. 65 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.280 They punted the spending bill using a CR into December 66 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.159 of last year. 67 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.240 Okay, Oh, guess what. 68 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.800 We won the election, guys, we won the Senate. We 69 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.319 kept the House and we won the White House. But 70 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.360 you know what, it's not time to fight. We shouldn't 71 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.960 fight yet because let's let's wait until we're in charge 72 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.199 of the Senate, until we have the Senate majority leader, 73 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:32.919 until we have a. 74 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.280 President who can signed the bill. 75 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:39.199 And instead of going to January, because January a cr 76 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.960 from last December to this past January. Well that won't 77 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.800 give Trump enough time to get his feet underneath of him. 78 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.800 So let's do it until March. Okay, well, here comes, 79 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.520 here comes March. This is this is where we are, Brian. 80 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.439 Tomorrow the funding runs out. And what's their excuse. Now 81 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.479 they've used two excuses. They used, oh, wait till the election. 82 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.560 The second excuse was wait until everybody gets sworn in 83 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.520 the new majority. And now the excuse is we don't 84 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.639 have we need more time. We need more time. That 85 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.319 is the worst excuse in the world. That's basically saying 86 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.560 we've run out of excuses. Because what happens with time 87 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.120 is the mandate that President Trump achieved in that in 88 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.560 the victory, that overwhelmed the victory, It wears off, it 89 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.600 doesn't last four years. In fact, when I talked to 90 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:33.240 President Trump two weeks after the election last November, I said, 91 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.759 you've got I think you got about six months to 92 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.160 get all this done, and then they're going to try 93 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.759 to bog us down and tie us up. And he 94 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.399 seemed to agree with me then. But now the strategy is, 95 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.600 let's wait nine months to fight. 96 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.000 What is I guess by way of you know time 97 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.199 you mentioned the twelve appropriations bills. We've talked about this 98 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.800 so many times. Congress hasn't done their job. Now for 99 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.199 how long with twelve individual appropriately bills as are required 100 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.639 to do onto the terms of their job descriptions? Where 101 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.800 were those in process before we got to the fall 102 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.120 and the need to do a continuing resolution? 103 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.439 Well, under Kevin McCarthy we got like six or nine 104 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.680 of them done, depending of the twelve, depending on what 105 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.040 you count as done, whether it's in committee or whether 106 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:26.800 it's on the floor. Last year none zero, and this 107 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.000 year I don't think they're even going to try. But 108 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.079 here's the thing, Brian, even if you didn't go through committees, 109 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.399 you know, even if you didn't do the regular order, 110 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.399 the process that we're supposed to follow, we would still 111 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.360 be better off if they went in the back room 112 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.680 and wrote twelve separate bills instead of going in a 113 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.160 back room and shaking hands with Hakeem Jeffries and agreeing 114 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.959 to a fake fight and just extending Biden's spending levels 115 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.839 into the first nine months of Trump's administration. 116 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.959 Like this fight was so fake. 117 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.759 Yesterday, and you know, I was taking the brunt of it. 118 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.519 I'm good, I'm okay with that because I was calling 119 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.399 it out as a fake fight because all but one 120 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.439 Republican voted for this bill, and all but one Democrat 121 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.480 voted against it. So they made it look like conservative 122 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.759 versus liberal fight, which wouldn't this thing gets to the Senate. 123 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.959 They need sixty votes in the Senate. I called up 124 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.399 a certain senator over there, and I'm like, how many 125 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:25.199 Democrats are going. 126 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.639 To vote for this? And he said between ten and fifteen. 127 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.319 They've they added some money in this thing to sweeten 128 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.279 it up for the Democrats. They made it look like 129 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.639 a fight in the House. And here's how sure that 130 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.040 I am that this is a fake fight that's not 131 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.160 even going to get fought in the Senate, even though 132 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.199 it was the fake fight in the House. They've sent 133 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.639 us all home, Like I'm still in DC, but they 134 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.399 put everybody on planes last night and today and said 135 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.879 we're done in the House. And by the way, the 136 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.079 funding doesn't run out until Friday, so the Senate has 137 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.480 two days to do this. They know the Senate's going 138 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.079 to pass it if they because if they so much 139 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.519 has changed the punctuation, they have to call everybody back 140 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.360 from the House Representatives. 141 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:10.759 And past that version. 142 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.279 Well, as you observe, this continues the spending levels under 143 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.879 the Biden administration. So why would the Democrats vote against it? 144 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.199 Oh? 145 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.920 I just talked to a I can't say somebody used 146 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.399 to be in Congress, and he's like, I don't get it. 147 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.639 Tell me what you all are doing, Tell me what 148 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.160 you are to do it, because it looks like this 149 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.199 is the Democrats dream. Here's something else that happened, Brian. 150 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:43.120 Remember under the FRA two years ago when we raised 151 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.120 the debt limit and I took a lot of flak 152 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.600 for agreeing to vote for that. 153 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:48.759 And the Rules Committee. 154 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.079 The reason I voted for it, we got a deal 155 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.879 where if they do a cr that goes past April thirtieth, 156 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.839 everything gets cut one percent. 157 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.120 Right, And I was taking the bet. 158 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.800 I was making the at that these jokers up here 159 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.120 wouldn't get the twelve separate bills done, that they wouldn't 160 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.240 even get an omnibus done, that they would eventually just 161 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.360 do a CR for the whole year. Well, guess what, 162 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.720 that's just what they did. And that term it's called 163 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.240 a sequester. It's in language, it was passed into law, 164 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.399 and they got a bunch of legal parliamentarians up here 165 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:25.720 who huddled and decided that if this r goes past April, 166 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.120 it would be a one percent cut. But since they're 167 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.160 going all the way to September thirtieth, not September twenty nine, 168 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.440 Since they're going all the way to September thirtieth for 169 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.519 the purposes of that one percent cut, it is the 170 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.039 one percent cuts no longer valid because they're counting it 171 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.000 as an omnibus, as a full year spending omnibus. 172 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:43.279 What. 173 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.360 Yeah, So basically they're turning off the one percent across 174 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.200 the board cut that was agreed to and signed into 175 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.799 law as a sequester two years ago. 176 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.279 Well that sounds that sounds rather orwell, and that you 177 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.639 can you can call it an obolost when it's a 178 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:02.639 continued resolution. 179 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:08.919 Yes, correct, they've just decided for the purposes of since 180 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.480 it suits their purposes not to. 181 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:11.000 Have the cut. 182 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.480 It's like t ball, Bryant. All all Speaker Johnson had 183 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.759 to do was walk up to the plate and swing 184 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.679 the bat. The ball was already on the tee to 185 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:23.960 cut things one percent. Here's the problem. The military guys were. 186 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.080 When I say military guys, I mean military industrial complex. Yes, I. 187 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.000 Don't mean the soldiers, right. 188 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.879 The soldiers deserve a pay raise, they deserve the veterans 189 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.000 deserve to be taken care. 190 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:35.919 Of all that. 191 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.720 What I'm saying is the people who are here for 192 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:44.080 Lockheed Martin and raze On and Boeing and GE. I 193 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.519 know there's GE jobs in today, but all of those 194 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.200 because they make the motors for the engines for these things. 195 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.240 Those lobbyists and those congressmen that are most subservient to 196 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.799 those lobbyists demanded that they're not be. 197 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:03.279 A one percent cut. And I'm talking about Republicans. That's 198 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:04.559 I don't know. 199 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:08.000 I'm struggling to find something that's FCC compliance by way 200 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.159 of reaction in or Congressman Massey. 201 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.480 So I'm just laying it all out there for you, Brian, 202 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.399 and for your listeners. And I know there's a lot 203 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.919 of crazy terms like cr onto this blah blah blah. 204 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.720 All you got to remember is what just happened in 205 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.679 the House yesterday, and it's going to happen in the 206 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.600 Senate today or tomorrow. Is going to lock in the 207 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.759 spending levels of Biden's last fifteen months his term. Those 208 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:40.799 will be locked in until September thirtieth. That Trump's agenda, 209 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.320 if he's going to do it through spending, which is 210 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.600 basically how you do ninety percent of this, either cutting 211 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:51.639 or expanding spending in different regions, he can't implement it 212 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.679 until September thirtieth because it's already locked down. The Biden 213 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.960 money is locked down the Democrats. It was a fake 214 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.600 fight in the House, and you're going to find out 215 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.639 when this thing passes the Senate that the Democrats actually. 216 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.879 Like it well at the risk are running over. I 217 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.080 just got to ask this, But for their part, what 218 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.080 do the Republican side of the ledge, of the ones 219 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:11.480 that you had to deal with at voter for this, 220 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.720 how do they defend what you just pointed out? What 221 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.639 is their motivation? This running out of time when they 222 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.720 could have you know, done some cuts or at least 223 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.919 not called it an omnibus and left it as a 224 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.360 cr so we would be guaranteed the one percent cut 225 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.639 across the board. Is it all this nefarious type of 226 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.759 military industrial complex type Republicans? 227 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.600 Well, that's that's part of it. But the question is 228 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.360 how did the Freedom Caucus come along? 229 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.039 Yeah, yeah, exactly, And. 230 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:41.080 The answer is Trump's advisor said, you don't. We got 231 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.279 to avoid a shutdown, and the Democrats are itching for 232 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.480 a shutdown, but so basically, give them what they want 233 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.559 so we don't have a shutdown, and then we'll try 234 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.120 to take a different bite at the apple. Another bite 235 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.360 at the apple September thirtieth. That's a false promise and 236 00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.840 a different bite of the apple with the reconciliation to 237 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:02.279 early summer. 238 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.080 But I guess ex mandatory spinning. 239 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.159 Recognize they were at least believing in part and ignoring 240 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:09.360 the military industrial complex. 241 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:09.799 States. 242 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.759 If you had cut the problem didn't lie in the House, 243 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.759 you probably would have. Let's assume you had enough votes 244 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:17.559 to vote for something that reduced the size of scope 245 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.720 of government. But these had some cuts in it, and 246 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.039 all the Republicans got there together and said, yeah, that's fine. 247 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.440 The problem was that would be the Senate then, right, 248 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.639 because they wouldn't get sixty votes in the Senate for this, 249 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.159 they will because it extends everything. The Democrats wont because 250 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.360 it's one of the Biden and Jenna spending levels. But 251 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.720 they the shutdown would have come as a consequence of 252 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.240 the vote in the Senate though, right. 253 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:40.559 Well, listen, if you if if you resign yourself to 254 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.879 that mass and that logic. By the way, that's one 255 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:45.960 of ten things they pull out of the hat the 256 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.519 reasons not to fight ever versus we don't have the 257 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:50.679 Senate or we don't have. 258 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.080 The White House. 259 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.679 But when you get the White House, the Senate, in 260 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.440 the House, they say, we don't have sixty. 261 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:55.039 Votes in the Senate. 262 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.279 If you, if you believe, if you truly believe that, 263 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.159 then you absolutely know on September thirtieth of this year, 264 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.279 we are not going to fight because there we aren't 265 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.159 picking up eight seats in the Senate. That's right, Like 266 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.759 there is no election between now and September thirtie. So 267 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.600 if you believe that logic, which I don't buy, I 268 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.720 say you put them on the spot. And by the way, 269 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.320 crs are a crappy way to do it, like even 270 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.360 the one percent cut CR is a crappy way to 271 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.720 do it, and omnibus is a crappy. 272 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:27.720 Way to do it. 273 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.960 But because then you have this giant shutdown where everything 274 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:32.440 shuts down if you don't if you don't get it 275 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.720 past the Senate. That's why you should send twelve separate 276 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.120 bills to the Senate, like the law prescribes the nineteen 277 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.279 seventy four budget control. 278 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:39.799 At amen to that. 279 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.600 Let's pause, we're in congressom MESSI back after these brief words, 280 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.039 beginning with Chimney Care Fireplace in Stove.

We'll get 283 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.559 some more cold weather, but every time, anytime of the 284 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.279 year is a great time to have your chimney inspected, 285 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.879 because you should do it annually.

I think we 334 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:12.919 can do in both. 335 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:17.759 Safer Voter Act stands for second amendment for every registerable voter. 336 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.120 So what I'm doing is tying the age that you 337 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.320 can buy a handgun to the age at which you 338 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.519 can vote. There should be basically one age of adulthood, 339 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.960 and I believe it's eighteen. The problem right now is 340 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.159 you are not allowed to buy a handgun from a 341 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:41.000 licensed FFL if you are eighteen, nineteen or twenty years old. 342 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:43.840 Right, you have to register for the draft. 343 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:47.000 You can go die for your country, but or somebody 344 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:47.759 other's country. 345 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:53.120 Unfortunately, same thing with alcohol or Yeah there's another one 346 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.399 now that one's ostensibly a state issue, but they've mandated 347 00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:58.159 it through. 348 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.360 A traffic total highway dollar. Yeah. 349 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:07.079 Yeah, but the federal firearms you know, laws prevent eighteen, 350 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.440 nineteen and twenty year olds from buying. Now, you could 351 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.720 buy one off of a family member, you can buy 352 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.559 one off of a friend. 353 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.119 This is the irony. I don't think the liberals realize this. 354 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.400 They want everybody to go through a background check, but 355 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.319 you're not even allowed to go through that if you're eighteen, 356 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.960 nineteen or twenty anyone who you got to find one 357 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.920 in the back alley or get it for Christmas. So 358 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.640 I want to change that by lowering that age to eighteen. 359 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.920 And so that's the easy one. In the FED, this 360 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.680 should be obvious. We should end the Federal Reserve. Somebody 361 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.119 asked me at a speech after a speech last weekend 362 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.640 in Kentucky, do you think Trump went into the federal Reserve? 363 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.160 I said no, I think he wants to be the 364 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.920 federal Reserve like he would he would like to have 365 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.000 a knob with the interest rates, and he would like 366 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.799 to turn the knob right. But the reality is we 367 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.720 shouldn't be turning that knob, shouldn't be fine monetizing our debt. 368 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:08.160 Yet that's what we do, and it's really Congress uses 369 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.440 the Federal Reserve to devalue the dollar. 370 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.920 We shouldn't be doing that. 371 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.519 And then the Federal Reserve is supposed to be independent. 372 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.519 They're not really. It's a revolving door between bankers, investment bankers. 373 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.200 And the Treasury. 374 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.160 They go to the FED and they turn knobs and 375 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.920 then they come back and collect on whether or their 376 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.920 friends are collecting on the benefits of the way they 377 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.279 set the knobs there at the FED. 378 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.559 That's why it needs to be audited. That's my other bill. 379 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.160 Some people say, if you audit to FED find out 380 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.039 what's really going, you'll want to end the FED. 381 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.960 So I've introduced both bills, one to audit it and 382 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:42.680 one to end it. 383 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.640 All right, any tu reading on whether either or both 384 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:46.240 will pass. 385 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.200 I don't think we're going to get into Fed. Audit 386 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.200 to FED. We've got that pass in the House a 387 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.079 few times, it goes through the Oversight Committee, and it's 388 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:57.920 passed the House. 389 00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.279 I think they. 390 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.640 Should bring it up in the Senate. You've got Democrats 391 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:03.359 over in the Senate. You know, you've got to get 392 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.880 to sixty. Like Bernie Sanders, who voted for audit the 393 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.200 FED in the House, but now that he's a Senator, 394 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.200 maybe he doesn't want to. 395 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:10.759 Audit the FED. 396 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:16.039 It might be too revealing and it might cause Congress 397 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:19.880 the well yeah, yeah, uh huh. Monetizing the we're going 398 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.000 to end up the Fiat currency is just going to collapse, 399 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.240 and the whole world's going to fall apart Congress from messy. 400 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.920 That's when the music stops is when they stop using 401 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.759
