<v Speaker 2>Take your infot to go.

3
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening through IAR powered by fifty five krs the

4
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>talk station eight o five fifty five KRSD talk station

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>named very Happy Wednesday to you, a happy birthday to

6
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>my mom, and I'm so pleased. I call it my

7
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>favorite hour, Brady. When we get Congressman Thomas Massey followed

8
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 1>by Judge Anapolitano, and welcome back to the fifty five

9
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>KRC Morning Show, Congressman Massie. It's always a distinct pleasure

10
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 1>having you on the program.

11
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Great to be on with you, Brian.

12
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about the song Missus Robinson Simon and

13
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>gar Garfuggle laugh about it, shout about it. When you've

14
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 1>got to choose, any way you look at it, you'll lose,

15
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you know. Under the first Trump administrations are our deficits swelled,

16
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you get even worse under the Biden administration,

17
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>where thirty seven trillion dollars are almost in the hole.

18
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 1>And I was had I had great expectations and since

19
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 1>we now control the House and the Senate and the

20
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>executive branch, that the Republicans would deliver on pairing back

21
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 1>the size and scope of govern most notably on the

22
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>heels of what DOGE revealed as small as it was

23
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>compared to overall government spending. We spend a lot of

24
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>money on a lot of really stupid, wasteful stuff, and

25
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>there's also a heapload of fraud, wasted abuse, and yet

26
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the so called big beautiful bill doesn't really do anything

27
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>by way of cutting the direction we're going on Congress

28
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>from Massa.

29
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Your reaction, Yeah, well, I've got a little bit of

30
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 2>good news. Let's start out with that. Oh, good to vote.

31
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 2>We're going to vote on about nine billion dollars of

32
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>recisions this week, either today or tomorrow. That's great news

33
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>because I've people are my colleagues are like, wow, Massy's

34
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>going to vote yes on somebody. And I'm telling him, yeah,

35
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>this is in twelve years, the first time I've seen

36
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 2>this actually cut spending anywhere. So yeah, you're done right.

37
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm voting yes. And there may be some moderate Republicans

38
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>who have a hard time getting to the altar on

39
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>this one, but this, you know that's going to happen.

40
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 2>But here, keep this in mind, though, Brian, these are

41
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>billion The recisions are billion dollar answers to trillion dollar products.

42
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>We have a deficit. That's how much we add to

43
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the debt every year. We have a deficit of about

44
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>two trillion dollars, and a trillion of that is interest. Yeah,

45
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>these are crazy numbers. And I did a calculation. We're

46
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>about to take a bunch of our debt that's at

47
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, zero percent or two percent or three percent,

48
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>and refinance it in the next year because it's short

49
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>term debt at five percent and above, because that's what

50
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>the thirty year notes at five percent, the twenty year

51
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>notes at five percent. These are this is what the

52
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>government pays people to finance our debt. And so I

53
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>did a quick calculation. It's going to be sixteen thousand

54
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>dollars a year in interest per American family that the

55
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>government is paying. That's sixteen thousand dollars that every family

56
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>is responsible for it ultimately in the end per year

57
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>where to get no services whatsoever. It's just interest on

58
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>the debt is like a credit card bill bill, I know,

59
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 2>the big beautiful bill. Let's put it in perspective, is

60
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>a sixteen hundred dollars tax break per per family. So

61
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>you we're racking out sixteen thousand dollars of debt per

62
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>family just an interest per year, and we're telling actually

63
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>racking up about thirty two thousand dollars of debt per family,

64
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>but it's sixteen thousand that its interest. And we're telling folks,

65
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>we're going to give you a sixteen hundred dollars tax break,

66
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to spend another They're appropriating about two

67
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty or three hundred billion dollars of money

68
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 2>in this bill, some of which I agree needs to

69
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 2>be spent for border enforcement, but some of it is

70
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>just military bloat.

71
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, I see, I'm glad you brought that up, because

72
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, while I am a supporter of the American

73
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>military and the veterans out there, and I've got their backs,

74
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 1>you can't tell me the when our military can't pass

75
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 1>an audit like eight times in a row, there is

76
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 1>insufficient information. We got a trillion dollar annual expenditure for

77
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the American military that there is not fraud, wasted abuse

78
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 1>built into that, and just scads of it. That we

79
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have to have a trillion dollar annual military budget

80
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>in order to meet the actual demands and needs for

81
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>equipment and hardware and salaries. You just need to cut

82
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>out the fraud, wasted abuse. They should be mandated to

83
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 1>have an audit. They should go through it like Doge

84
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>went through USA for example. I bet they could find

85
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>billions and billions and billions of waste and unnecessary expenditures.

86
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>But instead we're going to throw more money at right now,

87
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>here's the interesting thing. There's two buckets of money that

88
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>we spend. We spend discretionary money. That's what goes in

89
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>the omnibus or the cr that should be twelve separate bills,

90
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>that's like roads and bridges, NASA, actually, the court system,

91
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 2>the military. And then there's the non discretionary or entitlements

92
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>that would be Medicaid, Medicare, social security. That's about three

93
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>quarters of our budget. They say that this reconciliation bill

94
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>is only supposed to deal with the mandatory spending the Medicare,

95
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Medicaid because of the rules of reconciliation, you can't touch

96
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>those security, so Medicaid, Medicare and some other mandatory programs

97
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.079
<v Speaker 2>or what you're supposed to be adjusting in order to

98
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>balance the budget and a reconciliation bill. But they've discovered

99
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 2>that they can spend discretionary money on the mandatory side

100
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.959
<v Speaker 2>using reconciliation. Now I haven't got to the punchline yet,

101
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>so they're going to, you know, throw another one hundred

102
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars at the military in this reconciliation bill that

103
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>should be in the in the discretionary bill comes up

104
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 2>in September. So they're telling all of us, well, from

105
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the parliamentary rules allow us to increase discretionary spending and

106
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 2>the reconciliation bill, but they do not allow us under

107
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>a circumstance to decrease discretionary spending and the Reconciliation Bill.

108
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 2>They make up these rules and tell you what they

109
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 2>want them to be for their own convenience when they

110
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 2>want to spend the money. And the reason they're telling

111
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>me we need to spend one hundred billion dollars of

112
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.319
<v Speaker 2>discretionary money and the reconciliation bill for the military is

113
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>so that when we get to the battle over the

114
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Omnibus or the cr that should be twelve separate bills

115
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>that will already have the military plused up, so we

116
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>won't have to give the Democrats more of their money

117
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>to get more of our money priorities, which normally be

118
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 2>the military for Republicans. And they're saying this will save

119
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 2>us money if we go ahead and spend it now,

120
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 2>then we will have to Oh my lord, it's pretty crazy.

121
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 2>But here's where we are with all this. You know,

122
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm still taking heat for not voting for the big,

123
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:07.160
<v Speaker 2>beautiful bill, but it already passed the House. Now. Interestingly,

124
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it passed a couple of weeks ago. They're going to

125
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.399
<v Speaker 2>change the language of this bill today after it passed.

126
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>They said, because we haven't seen though it sounds like

127
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>you're listened to fiction at this point. Yes, Lacey said,

128
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 2>you got to vote for a bill to find out

129
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 2>what's in it. Mike Johnson says, well, we passed it

130
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 2>two weeks ago, but we're going to change what's in

131
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 2>it before we send it to the Senate. They're literally

132
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:37.879
<v Speaker 2>changing the language substantial portions of this bill after we

133
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>voted on it.

134
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 1>How can that be accomplished. I mean, there's got to

135
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.519
<v Speaker 1>be some form of protests or objections. It would need

136
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 1>to be revoted on.

137
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we are going to vote on it, but they're

138
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 2>high to hint in another resolution that's not even a bill.

139
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 2>There's a resolution to bring the recisions to the floor. Yeah,

140
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>from the Rules Committee, and inside of that resolution. They've

141
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>got what's called a self executing amendment. When you vote

142
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>for this resolution, there's an amendment that pops up and

143
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.519
<v Speaker 2>passes itself without a vote. And the way they can

144
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 2>do this is you're taking the vote. You're voting on

145
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>bringing recisions to the floor, and they've hidden this other

146
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.040
<v Speaker 2>matter inside of it, so they can say, well, you

147
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 2>voted to change the language. But the reality is no Republican,

148
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 2>including myself probably is it's going to vote against bringing

149
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>recisions to the floor, and so that's how they're going

150
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.840
<v Speaker 2>to change the language to build. Now I've I've looked

151
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>at the provisions that came out last night. This is

152
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 2>the other thing. We just last night finally got to

153
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 2>peek at what they want to change the language to today,

154
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's not I can't. I'm suspicious of some of

155
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the changes, but I haven't found the catch yet. I

156
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>think they call them technical changes. They're more than technical changes,

157
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 2>but they're not too dangerous, I think. So I'll probably

158
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>vote for this resolution that lets them do it, because

159
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 2>that same resolution brings recisions exactly and I don't want

160
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 2>to blame for stopping that. Now it'll go to the

161
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Senate and there are some senators over there who are

162
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to make this bill better, Mike Lee, Rick Scott,

163
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Ron Johnson, Ran Paul and I've said, if this thing

164
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 2>gets better in the Senate, I could vote for it

165
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>when it comes back to the House because we'll we'll

166
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>have to vote on it again if they change even

167
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the punctuation in the Senate.

168
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Right now, I guess what changes can be made in

169
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the Senate that'll make it palatable for Congress than Thomas Massey.

170
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.399
<v Speaker 2>They they can find another three trillion dollars of savings

171
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>in this bill, for instance, the Green New Deal. This

172
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>bill's you know, the House bill doesn't get rid of

173
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>the Green New Deal. They call it the Inflation Reduction Act,

174
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>but they put a lot of the deal in there.

175
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>It says, as long as you start building your battery

176
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.960
<v Speaker 2>factory or your solar panel thing or whatever by a

177
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 2>certain date, you can still get the subsidies. It doesn't

178
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>go cold Turkey. Well, in the Senate, they could move

179
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>that date closer to today and stop it and it

180
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be completely cold Turkey. There would still be people

181
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>getting subsidies from the Green New Deal, but you could

182
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>save maybe three hundred billion six hundred billion by moving

183
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>that up quicker. The biggest change you could make to

184
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>save money is there's three hundred it's about three hundred

185
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.759
<v Speaker 2>and seventy or three hundred and ninety billion dollars giveaway

186
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 2>to sanctuary cities and blue states. This state and local

187
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 2>tax deduction, okay, the best part, the best policy of

188
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Trump's twenty seventeen tax cutting jobs, which I voted for.

189
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Took it put a ten thousand dollars exactly state and

190
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 2>local tax deductions, which if you're middle class in a

191
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 2>red state, it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't really

192
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 2>a tax increase. But for people in blue states had

193
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>been getting a free ride on the local taxes. They

194
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 2>just take that off of their federal taxes.

195
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 1>We out here in the red states are subsidizing the

196
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 1>blue states with that salt, and that's what irked me.

197
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to Americans for Prosperous Donovan and Neel

198
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 1>the last hour about this, and I find that offensive.

199
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>And it could provide cover for the blue state Republicans

200
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 1>who pushed that through. That increase to forty thousand dollars

201
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.919
<v Speaker 1>if the Senate backs it up to ten thousand dollars

202
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 1>and keeps it where it is. At least they can

203
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 1>throw their hands up and say, listen, I can't vote

204
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 1>against this because it keeps American taxpayers taxes low. But

205
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I tried to get the salt increase, but

206
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't accomplish it. But being broader, tax cuts are

207
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 1>more important than me fighting for ourridiculously high tech states.

208
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Correct, and it's it's about three hundred and ninety billion

209
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>dollars transfer of money. Basically, what if the salt means

210
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.159
<v Speaker 2>We're just going to add that much more to the

211
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.519
<v Speaker 2>deficit and the people in the red states will be

212
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 2>paying interest on the debt because we had this giveaway

213
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 2>to the blue state. It's a total reversal of Trump's

214
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 2>policy in twenty seventeen. And the policy in twenty seventeen

215
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 2>is what helped turn Florida red. There were people in

216
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.159
<v Speaker 2>California and New York and said, well, if we're not

217
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>getting a free ride on our state and local taxes,

218
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>we're getting out of these hellholes exactly, and they moved

219
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>to Florida. And now you've got La Los Angeles is

220
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>a sanctuary city, and we're and with high real estate prices,

221
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 2>so this is a gift to them, to California and

222
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.399
<v Speaker 2>New York and Illinois. And you've got some You've got

223
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>some Republicans in the House who want it because they're

224
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>from this but you don't have any senators from blue states.

225
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>There's no you know, Republican senators. They should just outright

226
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Speaker 2>clean this out of the bill. So there's just a

227
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and then's the work requirements on medicator kind of a

228
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 2>joke in the House bill. They're not. The state's already

229
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 2>no ways around those to get exemptions. So they could

230
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.519
<v Speaker 2>strengthen that in the Senate. They could find another three

231
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 2>trillion dollars of cuts and send it back to the House,

232
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 2>and I could I would fear also take out this

233
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 2>crazy AI provision that I believe unconstitutional that would let

234
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 2>AI companies. It's a nod to AI companies that they

235
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 2>should be able to get expedited zoning, in other words,

236
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>override state and local laws so that they can put

237
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:53.200
<v Speaker 2>their their data centers wherever they want and states wouldn't

238
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 2>be able to regulate. They need to take that out.

239
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 2>If they did those things, skinny this thing down, send

240
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 2>it back to the House. You could probably vote for that.

241
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 2>If Mike Lee and those guys can prevail on this.

242
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, I'll bring it back. I'll get you a

243
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>quick comment or two about the riot situation in Los

244
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Angeles and elsewhere it's growing. We'll continue with Congress from Massey.

245

<v Speaker 1>It's eight nineteen to fifty five Kercity Talk station. This

266
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey twenty one fifty about KRSD talk station, Brian Thomas,

267
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 1>the Congress and Thomas Massey. All right, it broke down

268
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the big BBB and what the changes might be in

269
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the Senate that would garner Thomas Massey's vote. I love

270
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 1>your suggestions and I hope they embrace them real quick. Here,

271
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>if you had a t lea freed in terms of

272
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>what you want from the Senate in terms of changes,

273
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 1>do you think you're going to deliver on that?

274
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think you can have a good chance.

275
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>The negotiation you start when you say no, right, yeah,

276
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>And so you've got Ron Johnson and Rampaul are no,

277
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Mike Lee and Rich Scott Lean no. And if they

278
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>just tell the senators no and the President no. Look,

279
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 2>the President is not wedded to this blue state bailout. No.

280
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>I understand fault times. He in our conference, he told

281
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>him to drop it, and it's costing to it's politically,

282
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>it's costing too much, he said. He told the New

283
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>York guys, just give it up. I was going to

284
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.879
<v Speaker 2>let it pass, but now it's made such a big stink,

285
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 2>and you weren't happy with the small increase, so just

286
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.679
<v Speaker 2>give it up. So these aren't things the President is against.

287
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Also on the Green New Deal, like going cold Turkey

288
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and cutting that off quicker instead of letting it keep

289
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 2>going for a while. The president's with us on that.

290
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 2>He's just waiting to see what they'll do in the Senate.

291
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, keep my fingers crossed and maybe even

292
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>say a prayer that that it gets accomplished. Now your

293
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.399
<v Speaker 1>reaction way.

294
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 2>I learned. I learned one thing from your radio show

295
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.559
<v Speaker 2>during the break. I'm not I'm not going to get

296
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>to cut my hay this weekend. The weather reports.

297
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be wet and the No King's rally

298
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>will probably less well attended, which allows us a nice

299
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.000
<v Speaker 1>pivot over to the Los Angeles situation. You know, ICE

300
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 1>is doing its job. It's allowed to go in even

301
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 1>though law enforcement doesn't want to help them. The politicians

302
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 1>don't want to help ICE. They don't like the idea

303
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 1>of deporting these hardened, terrible criminals, or anybody else for

304
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.599
<v Speaker 1>that matter. But ICE can still come to the neighborhoods

305
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.599
<v Speaker 1>and do it and they get attacked. Newsom doesn't do anything,

306
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Bass doesn't do anything. Law enforcement there says they're overwhelmed.

307
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Enter the National Guard. Donald Trump's trying to help the

308
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.759
<v Speaker 1>citizens of Los Angeles area from the violence they're facing,

309
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 1>and of course that's met with objections. What's your take

310
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:32.759
<v Speaker 1>on all this, Congress from Assey?

311
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, the police say they can't help. The

312
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 2>reason it can't help is the locals have passed laws

313
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that made it a sanctuary city. Yep. And so you

314
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.960
<v Speaker 2>have to send in federal agents to do this. And

315
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.200
<v Speaker 2>then you've got the protesters are destroying the federal property,

316
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>federal assets, and endangering federal officers. So you got to

317
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 2>send in the guard. So and I think this is

318
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.359
<v Speaker 2>a this is a tipping point, I think Democrats. So

319
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.400
<v Speaker 2>it's the policy is right. Trump's got the policy right.

320
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.400
<v Speaker 2>You can't reward people for coming here illegally. You can't

321
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.680
<v Speaker 2>reward the sanctuary cities for harboring these people and you've

322
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 2>got to deport them. But the policy is right, but

323
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker 2>also the politics are right. I mean the the governor

324
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.799
<v Speaker 2>and Karen Bass, who actually used to be in the

325
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 2>House Representatives I served with, there's they they're losing this

326
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 2>argument in the court of public opinion with the modern

327
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, with let's say independence, and so it's you know,

328
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.160
<v Speaker 2>this is this is an issue where I think Trump's

329
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>right to double down and he just got a big

330
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 2>win from the court. The Gavin Newsom asked the courts

331
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.400
<v Speaker 2>to intervene until Trump he couldn't send in the guard

332
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's actually I think of a judge appointed by

333
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Bill Clinton said no, we're not going to give you

334
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.640
<v Speaker 2>this injunction. And so you know, Trump got to win

335
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 2>there and he just needs to keep going.

336
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the court has set a hearing for I believe tomorrow.

337
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>He denied that they denied the temporary restraining order and said, no,

338
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.519
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get the federal government, uh in the

339
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 1>state additional time to file briefs and then they're going

340
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.039
<v Speaker 1>to have actual hearing on it. So uh, no temporary

341
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>restraining order issued. So it's it's it actually deny the

342
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.440
<v Speaker 1>governor's request completely outright, there's going to be a further

343
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:30.880
<v Speaker 1>hearing on the propriety of it. So it ain't over.

344
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>The fat Lady has not yet sang on that one,

345
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.519
<v Speaker 1>but so far a win.

346
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And in this and it'll and it will set up

347
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 2>an interesting situation if the judge does, you know, ultimately

348
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:46.079
<v Speaker 2>give some kind of injunction. I mean, it's it's fisher

349
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.640
<v Speaker 2>cut bait for our country.

350
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Well true, but see, I suppose you know, the the

351
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.319
<v Speaker 1>National Guard, Trump, you know comment during the California wing

352
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of the National Guard, the governor US could send the

353
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.880
<v Speaker 1>National Guard in if this is taken away, because if

354
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it's taken away and there's no more National guardsmen on

355
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.559
<v Speaker 1>the streets, chaos will ensue and he's going to have

356
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to do something about it. So he can just basically

357
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 1>do exactly what Trump did, but just from his own

358
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:13.200
<v Speaker 1>governor's desk.

359
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 2>We could also Karen bass Is put in a curfew. Yeah,

360
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>at least there's acknowledgement that something's not right here. But

361
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 2>then you've also you've got Governor knew some inciting these folks.

362
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.839
<v Speaker 2>Though at the same.

363
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Time, indeed, because it's Trump, it's Trump doing it. Trump's

364
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 1>effort to enforce the law and protect the federal property.

365
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>And the National Guard is causing people to break into

366
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.559
<v Speaker 1>sushi stores, gas stations, burn WAYMO vehicles, and throw chunks

367
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 1>of concrete at vehicles.

368
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 2>And you know what, this would be a great moment

369
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 2>for Trump to come out and say, we're not giving

370
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 2>you state and local tax deductions to sanctuary cities and

371
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:01.119
<v Speaker 2>sanctuary states, like governor saying, you know, it wasn't the House,

372
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 2>big beautiful bill. We're taking it out the Senate. And

373
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.319
<v Speaker 2>because we're not going to give you these handouts for

374
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you to go to basically perpetuate bad policy.

375
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, behind the scenes, I hope Trump is

376
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.799
<v Speaker 1>having a conversation with some of those senators telling them

377
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to do exactly that.

378
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, behind the scenes he had that conversation

379
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:25.599
<v Speaker 2>with us. I was in the room, by the way.

380
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.839
<v Speaker 4>He asked if I was in the room, and I

381
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:36.839
<v Speaker 4>raised my hand and he said, there's there's dumb MESSI

382
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 4>he's basically you know, he and ran Paul very similar.

383
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.680
<v Speaker 2>They got the same hair. They are from Kentucky, and

384
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.240
<v Speaker 2>you can't get him to vote for anything. And then

385
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:48.559
<v Speaker 2>he said, but I like Massey's hair better.

386
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Congress of messy, take what you can get. Judge on

387
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Depoulaton is listening. He's waiting in the wings. He's a

388
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.240
<v Speaker 1>huge fan of yours, and I know you're a huge

389
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>fan of his. He's waving at you through our zoom

390
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:07.599
<v Speaker 1>conference and he's going to be joining the program next

391
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.039
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the constitutional reality of what's going on

392
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in LA. Congressman Thomas Massey, God bless you will keep

393
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>our fingers crossed that the changes you're looking for from

394
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 1>the Senate actually occur so you can vote yes on

395
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.799
<v Speaker 1>the big beautiful bill. God bless you, sir, And thanks

396
