Brecheen Town Hall 2-19-2024

So let's listen. What was so good last year we talk at last year is it really was the chance for us to listen to each other and you all yesterday's gonna talk to me like we're learning from each other. So let's let's create an opportunity. Of course, be civil with one another. There'll be some things I'm gonna say, You're just we're gonna disagree with. You

may have something to say that others disagree with. Or let's just you know, have a peer pressure environment that says we're gonna speak in kindness and perspect and trying to hear people have. So Derek couple will do this and we're gonna let people go to You'll have the microphone and take you around. Okay, so Derek taking the microphone around and who wants to be first? Right?

Uh? Congresman, have you talked to please? I can have you talked to our senator's bone and lay for about the nineteen ninety four Blue passes agree when they claim that we are on our mound to support Ukraine. As a result, that you're going because Bill Clayton talked to the Ukrainians into given up their nuclear weapons and exchange or character par of themes. Does that ever

understanding of our obligation of Ukraine? If that was not in treaty or gratifying the two thirds, then the way I read these supremacy clause, the supremacy clause in Article six, I think section two talks about the treaties are to be adhered to. I'm a supremacy absent treaty confirmation by two thirds of the

sendant. I don't know how that case can be made. So my intake on Ukraine is that when we have sent I have corrected myself purposely a couple of times today, not we you You have sent one hundred and thirteen million dollars thus far to Ukraine. Bilious a million million? No, it's billion billion. I'm glad that you're directed me. It's a billion. We're paying

attention, Mu's rye. And so because of that one hundred and thirteen million dollar commitment, and look, let's be honest that we have we really sent it for it. We send it on the backs of the standard are living our kids who sending the back and standing are living on our children, and so we're at a much different This is my table, this is what town halls about for us to listen to another dollar. Okay, my take is that one hundred and thirteen million dollars spend and NATO, will you take that

one hundred and thirteen compared compared to the entire expenditure of NATO nations. They don't max one hundred and thirteen billion, even get some tone. In fact, when you go about ten years ago when the NATO commitment was that they would give two percent of their first domestic product for their own actual defense, you got only eighteen that are meeting that pressure. There were thirty one nations in there. So what does that do when you had you know, only

eighteen out of thirty one who are spending two percent of their GDP? Why two percent? Because there's some somebody who said that formula strikes fear in the heart of enemies and maybe want nav because they think you might be seriously about defending yourself and not align upon your allies. So the two percent of matters. And yet you've got an owner who are choosing to spend their money elsewhere domestic spending those where it fees, but they're not defending themselves. And so

as long as America ninth highest in debt to GDP ratio. Now we're moving up the list. They last year culture were eleven, when we have one of the highest depth of GDP ratis of any nation one hundred and ninety five. Thus nations, we will continue to foot the bill as long as the majority of the put NATO allies us too. So I think outside of my concerns constitution, outside of it, some of you have have how many of you in this room started in Vietnam? The view one? Who else?

Who else? Servant Sergeant Coating? Who else? In dudos? Thank you, thank you, very ardly. I was very present the tire because just they don't actually go there really need so South Korea, I'm sorry, South Vietnam, North Vietnam, similar language. What do you have going on in Ukraine? An Siveral language? Similar culture. Do y'all remember if you read these his history, the JFK actually gave the ok to led to two the

president of South Vietnam being assassindent. Do y'all remember that that there was a coup that our US government bay the okay on because they were there was some impression of Buddhist greets and otherwise, and there was a coup took place in these state wives the South of NISA government, and then that perpetuated CIA involvement, and then we progressively guide involved with Vietnam. So for those of you, and I don't ask you for those of you inserted in Vietnam fliberty,

you had to wisdom out on that. So I bring that up because there is some concern the way Vietnam started gradually, the way Vietnam was maintained absolute declaration of war in the nineteen seventy three war pipes that that I can can and is still got constitutional adherence to the decoration of war of our under one section eighty Constitution that leaves the power to the Congress. We've got some real opportunity to reavisits of history if we're not careful with Ukraine. The difference is

in nineteen seventy our debt to GDP ratio was twenty five percent. The only other time in our nation's history our depth to GDP ratio has been this high was between nineteen forty five and nineteen forty seven. But you know the difference also, I just we just wrote a peace for the American Conservative Review. The difference was that they they fought the more and they catered off to My grandfather was one of the generation. Now I don't anyway from World War Two

anybody in this room that served. Okay, I I want to miss the opportunity to acknowledge that the case, but that great generation they follow the war and then they can paint off the debt of day in current our founding fathers talked about that extensively, about the peace to not paying off the debt and not let the pop starity bear that earned and so we were higher that the GDP ratio that we've never been a nation's history except at World War Two.

And then promise that this could drag us into a lengthy engagement without a decoration for the war, and the fact that the NATO has in their own backyard. Laty chosen not to get you called. I asked the question, is there not the potential mischif be none of being an Ontop seven situation. So I would love your response again, this is a chance for meeting you to educate a meaning and I mean, this is what you're found on is life. I wasn't worried about that, sir. My adopted daughters you and she

tells me if it's knock the Civil War. Ukrainians are not aggressions. They have been in independence since nineteen ninety one. They're United Nations members and they were depending on health when this conflict started. Okay, so on this school stuff is talking for off. This is your over state, your viewpoint. Do we have a constitutional duty? Is there anything in the Constitution as a declaration of war that gives us permission to do this? Let them let me

just so. I cannot be a hydocrytic moment. Inrael, we've been hit one hundreds. Our US forces had directly been hit one hundred and six times in Israel. R Number two gives our president the opportunity to operate a defensive mechanism. We have expended about three million dollars because of defensive position character airstrikes in the Red Sea area. Also the shipping lane between the SEUs Canal and

Red Seed. I didn't know this until recently, but the efficiency of moving goods within limited companies and moving cargo around the globe, that is an efficient trip of the SEUs canl for the Red Sea that connects Asia into Europe. And once that's taken off the table, what is happening is we have people that are I visited with the DC that are saying, in addition to the inflationary impacts of government over spending, we are going to have the inflationary impacts

because of the target by the newtheast in the Red Sea area. So I have a different take on Israel Israel. Who else stands in Israel except the United States? And so don't mistake do I think a check on what Poger is doing is valuable? I do, But why does it have to be the United States in Kennedy and with what happening with especially what's happening is you is in not a dangerous situation to find ourselves with our debt to GDP load

and find ourselves in the two conflicts like this. I contended this, so someone will continue this. So the others don't want to call on the speaking of the death, Why don't it has close the border, start fists where we can on the democratic cards you've got in the confefication. I'm a post to your last point, to the first point. Totally agree that any border

solution absent might protection protocols. I believe is laughing because even though the Obama administration, they said above a thousand people was overwhelming a day coming across the southern border border. So I totally agreed. And also Joe Biden actually in two thousand and six as a state senator agreed these physical barriers. He actually sent the reason why by leaving physical barriers there's a little bit of is not

so much about the at least say this basically something of the drugs. You can find that that's similar quote in two thousand and six the reason why I support physical barriers that it has to do with the drugs. So there was a time where one hundred miles for the wall construction occurred under the Abotment administration that that was supported by Biden as VP, and there wasn't so long ago

that physical barriers were something of the people embraced. I will contend to think the news is barry in this out that once Texas was able to put up physical barriers, where's the migration going at? So instead of the fifteen million between New York and New Jersey, they're telling our homeless security could be that I said alone that they're shared with us, that they spend defensive Austria of pain, more medical our ceration, education, the downstream impact of illegal immigration.

That same amount of money forty to one of our status. Looking now, for every five million dollars, you can put one hundred and fifty Mildred mil a border wall. We lack about nineteen hundred mile. It's our twelve hundred dollar order physical barriers and that plus technology. There are some places where you five an optic cables where you can actually you know, if the videos

are mad LUs. There's some places in the physical barrier. You're not gonna be able to get that done, but you can do the technology hype physical technology type system. And what that will do is it forces people that have to go to boards of injury. And that is the solution to our southernumber

border is secure the border, then many of us. After the border is secure, we'll open the conversation for the conversations about visas and in a number of the different things that people are trying to put the car before the hours one. But we have to work from in a stadium ABC this that if you don't seal the border and you give three million entrants, then you're just gonna compound the problem of yours. On number right, I'll look there,

I'll let you keep out of the crowd actually being there. So Ansel Yeah. Uh. Two things have struggled up to the top of the terior mom instuments or one of who and when they're trying to control and the other one is is this air up this decision to airport were Tulsa where the seventy plans to day in the border community process and tells So in in terms of Tulsa, we have docimating the verify and information that's been talking about the airport.

We've had a number of things in the last week and the coming at us with numbing them to verify some into this. So I want to wattle trepidly on that, and Derek, we need follow all the answer and once we get some more informations. I got solid on in regards to the who. The person that is following the loudest voice on this is Michelle Bachman and so Michelle was DC and there was a hundred day after the October seven where we

did a visual off the capital step like Johnson just becomes speaker. And one of the very first things is that we made the days where we're standing out there with the candlelight. I look out and I need my mother told me she was coming to d C with the group they were coming to praying. I look out there and I see my mother standing next to Michelle walk and and I'm what is happening? He said, I'm under here and I've never met at Michelle. She was kind enough to do an endorship to me by

reputation a couple of years ago. So we get this group gets done, and then I walked up and I got to get visit with her, and then John, her chief estaffs in the back of the room, and like he is, we told her she she is the hefties on paying attention to this and we as an office and given her over communication John's dialogue in and been to at least one event that she was a part of. And then oddly enough, uh, she made sure to tell me about the Peggy down.

Michelle Affman does Peggy down, and and she she we were sitting there peggy'sday and not brought up, but she Michelle Auchman knows Peggy down. So if you want to get some of the double w a show Peggy's to go to. I hope you got to speaking out. Yeah, I was just I'm frustrated. I was scorning graces the Mulahoma. Okay, I've had all ocahamlands most help mahomes stay together, especially as a state, and what we

could do as a stage to be recognized as special. Last week, it seemed to me that if there, if all our representatives in DC has gotten behind our own senator like Brea and supported him because he got every single thing that was being requested. If you read the papers, yes you're every single stage that the GOP requestioned was in that bill, and we would have been

an international hit. We would head supported the Ukraines. And I've got friends in Ukraine when I'm a flag hole of but we could have supported Ukraine and at the same time we could have secured our order with I had to put up brains to require that linse that people. Okay, so let me share with number one. I would tell people, and I want to tell you this, James Lankert is a good man. James Lankerd is a good man. I'll be the verse to tell you, Davis like it's a good man.

Would I have to look at the elements of a particular measure, and I'm trying to be a careful because I don't want to. I think some grace for those who had my position needs to be extended. I don't think he went into that negotiation wanted to get to a place to where microp protections

protocol is not a part of that. But I will tell you I think he would want a micro protection protocol if you could think like you would never dinner prest to go to it. But Michael, I don't want to speak for center like, okay, micro protection protocol was not a part of it. And what that means is the remain in Mexico policy was central to twenty

seventeen the lowest numbers in forty years. The building of immigration is coming, and so if you put together a solution that has one of those very key components missing, and I don't I'm not going to tell you he didn't do everything he could try to get that position moved for the Democrats. But I

think it's like going through the dealership. You got ten thousand dollars to spend on your next speed truck, and you walk in and you hear that the trucks are cost a ninety thousand dollars for a world drive, and all of a sudden, you realize there's not going to be a medium in minds on this because that done pencil owed. So my point is is, if look, I tell you, I don't believe the Democrats Chuck Schumer really wants secure doors. I believe he wants the facade of the secure border and is willing

to go down the pathway of the Kenny. He does. But I'm the whole in security committee that in May he passed HR two. I was a part of the twofold Judiciary Homeless Security track. Can Okay, Well, I have an expert, and I can tell you there's a number of Conservatives who differ with Mitchell Coamine and multitude of issues. So so he is a Republican.

But in terms of people feel like he's leaking that conference with singular focused on original tent or a constitution centers or really understanding the diary moment of our debt are death sit loading, I don't think people will see him as turning the status quote. So now my reprotection protocol, let me let me just let's talk through symptoms of provisions. Okay, if you learn people come across the border you allowed only come in your country, and you increase the deport

you, increase detention centers. I've been to a detention center. The astronaut going cost to you, the tax payer, astronom going costs, chimper ten housing. It is unbelievable, the expense for persons wast detention seris. But let's just pretend for a moment that we are not that I didn't just finish the entire year as a Member of Commerce voting on twelve appropriation bills that were fully borrowed money. Let's just pretend for a moment, I didn't spend an

entire year of debating twelve appropriation bills. By the time we pay off mandatory spending based upon the revenue of the Guardia, consider every bit of the revenue and the twelve appropriation bills that is left up to be appropriated money. Where we have now got to the place were one hundred percent, including all defense spending, is borrowing money, right. I'm not trying to ward pres unless here. So I want to respect you, and I want to keep this

conversation where we couldn't guard through each other. Kay, So let me let me, let me let me just say that it's okay, it's I've lost my drink. Thought we're ahead, So why your protection? Let me let me it is the effectual part of HR two. It's I was a part of development, an alledge security committee. Judiciary had a part, Our committee had a part. It would passed the full House, it passed, passed back in May, we would handed it off the Senate and we said twenty

seventeen formula. Here you go, twenty seventeen lowest number forty years of village of immigration. If you want to codify something, conify this. They've done enough thing with it. Okay, let me tell you what happens when they come across the board. Let's say you increase the tension up to fifty thousand. Now where you run past the fifty thousand and you say we're past that,

we don't have a detention space. The immigration nationality I says you are to be detained until there is a proceeding, and that proceeding is a determination of innocence or guilt, whether that's your asylum plan for credit fear is accurate or not. But but and to the credit there is we absolutely need to

expect that decide like some of those are lasting up into ten years. But if you're if you if you expot the side of claim and you said, we're gonna have the detention space and we're gonna put an ankle partroll on you, and we're gonna allow you to go into the interior United States. Right now, like seventy five percent of everyone playing in creditble fear who has a notice to appear which the border patrol lasts cycle or notice to disappear, they

don't show up for the corner proceeding. Why do you think that is now? The new quotations have dropt off the deportator no talk we made any move on, but we have decreased deportations in the last three years by two thirds. We and they have purposely this administration has has purposely produced the number of detention deads. Yet they're claiming the media is they're doing all that. They don't have out giving them the funds to detain so the bast don't wear out

was just saved. We have the deportations of decreased. I have that the alleged ray in front of us, I think it was him been talking about the fact that even the prosecution with the Justice Department don't think another HIDS period or another period even the prosecutions. Prosecutions are down, so not just deportation. So and at the end of the day, my architect's protocol, how

dis fix what's gonna say? The huge put an ankle monitor on someone, and seventy five percenters showed up to the asylum hearing because they want to disappear in the interior United States. All it takes to cut off on ancome monitors and pair of scissors is in many cases or mold pods. Do you think people who couldn't hear it illegally have already broken the law? The propensity by what we see in evidence of people who aren't showing under the heeras, do

you think ankle monitors will actually lead to people being found fully complied? And it's really about race and religion and persecution of the nationality. Common sense are telling me underwise. So I'm not trying to play whacking role with somebody, somebody that really respects us starting out this conversation, I just think the policy is lacking, and that's why I think that we produced other house is the real solution? Let me say, is it if we go down the track

of something is not a solution? And then there's the defense and we won't be done that. We've always we wanted done a solution and you have anywhere a love of one thousands to day. I'm not going to use the other

one. But if they took a twelve one thousands a day after the all administration, they said that that was basically causing assistant to crash and we normalize high rates, then what would happened is is when the opportunity presents itself and my home biz that we have a president of the years of the law, that we have a new Senate that is the years to the law, then

an opportunity for meaningful reform secure. The more they didn't talk about the systems, they didn't talk about the other stuff, but getting the border secure by our account, the same sixty billion dollars it's been an advocate to go to Ukraine, we'd finish the twelve thirty miles of border ball and that has proactives to be the port were they would be us on our future because as we look at Faris accountating and John hors lock up back here, I actually had

a had a meeting with with it in the budget. CBO professional bloods off of non artist. In the last week, they're giving us numbers saying that the positive count of wages over the illegals. But when you read Fair's report, Fair's report tells you that sixty sixteen billion dollars. I want better taxpayers come in because of increased wages to illegals, but their cost to the taxpayer

sixty six billion. So when I get back to DC, we're gonna be setting down our opposite to the CBO to make him prove his math on because of my intention is is we know they're utilizing medical services. We know that. You did you know that once you have a baby as an illegal here's somebody you've heard the illegals to be access to all these social services, then

you can people say they don't. You're ready for the facts because I finally figured out where the disknet is. They're not legal until there's a child that's born. The child that's boring the just sids the Social Security number. Then the household gets eligible for the child and you have they just a minute. But they aren't income tax credit or the of the child tax payer or the additional child who is the deduction applied to, Never the child. It's the

tax final. So if the file taxes, they can also get access to the additional child tax credits. That's a refundable tax credit. And that's why I was ring to view last week, who was a couple of weeks ago. Even though there were some good tax divisions, I wanted there were so many ninety one ninety percent to ten percent ratio of refundable tax credits going to

people who don't have sizeable incommermience compared to normal flanness. And so look, the math matters, the details math, And I think the ladies left well. I won't say this shaw, I'm want to hear in an atmosphere when we're doing this town halls a little bit to Dona eighteen of them, it's okay for us to disagree. And I don't know if you've been putting a

memory a quote by Washington Huns will mean something to you. He said, if the great Powerbove could erect a standard of infallibility among political opinion, there is no one who would resort to it with more egn than myself as long as I am main a servant of the public. But given I found no better guide hitherto, that's a tough one, then upright intentions and close investigation. I shall adhere to these maxims as long as I keep the watch.

What's he saying, nobody's gonna be perfect? People live opinion? Well, will you have to ask for your public officials? Is they got to upright intentions that it's about others not themselves in another re election, and then they need to study things. They have close investigation. So what I liked to tell her before she left is that's why I want to hear people out.

I used to doctor Kober Dan Donald if he ever did this with you, Tom Cooper will be driving keep listening in PR And I'm like, he's danning here, yes, yes, oh, but did you ever listen to NPR in another road? And I'm like, what do you know? He said? His strength is me. I'll need to be able to give an account to the opposite side. So I'm an areable and shutting somebody down who has an a position. You can out of constitution positions, then you come to

read. So that's what these town halls are for. You know, we we we gleaned fruit you. I ran a bill last year came from a town hall about the healthy sound based upon the wig and making sure that we're not going to have healthy outcomes on the medicaid medicaris side because of the ten percent of our total twenty percent of our total food experience, you're on saund which makes up eighty five percent of the farm bill, by the way,

is just jumping food. Ten percent of it's just sugar, diabetes, water based coax. So we we cook something we want round a town. I'm leven minute legislation last year, all right where else there? I got this two after we get done, he's asked plus of qu ahead, all right, that's gonna say it on any twelve twenty dollars for our initial Dad, they spoke to ourselves to about government eighty disease. I long twelfth twelve twentyonn thirty one issue two only to govern, not the self. Can I can?

I ask him? He is impossible at six? Is it possible at six to it's possible? Point when against well, okay, go ahead, put the shirts. The reason why I asked you how our thirty four are what's called our publicly held debt, which means DAN helped by the public. That is the twenty seven Now in twenty seven trade the thirty four and so what are the difference of the math is between thirty four moving down the thirty

five at the rapid pace back to twenty seven. That's according to well the people that are giving me, that's what is owed to the trust funds, that's the InTru government. Dad go ahead. So I think we justiniants forty prank. Can't mans find every good round mutch er Europe otherwise it's supposed to go all for chub thrust out of line. But it's on the can I ask you question, is it possible that Europe can do more? I can't.

And Germany is as third contribution the corporals in place, and you're talking to about two percent for miner stay in Germany and Estonia have been maybe the

two countries if you give me, put a plus side too. But what here's my ass if America continues as not highest in all nations in our daily it was what we're facing is in the closest about is why is it that America needs to show over the burden of this and if we continue to be the one and puts the massive billions of expenditure, it's remember what I told you one about discretion must one hundred percent of Moorrow money at the first time

last year one percent, not a dime. We spin that we took care of the mandatory spending. Lad what what do you go out? Hello, test here's matter without it that's curified. Get everybody here, you gotta go out of line. Okay, So the fact that we move for that place and if that statistic happen, wait, you can wait for what I would be really heavy on what it is they're gonna They're gonna be tring felling, being plasy min They said, is this okay? We'll try to say,

my boys, y'all for eighteen pound halls, I don't get done. This is also the first year I just had to see the ogre here in front of our committee and I said, well, you've confirmed this. This is the first year twenty four where our entire after defending was supposed to be twenty eggs when we were gonna get this end point. But now because of interest rates that what they have jumped. This is the first year they suspicion that

our interest cans mass hard defense spending eight hundred and fifty billion dollars. Teachers just shot a children so pushing that on you continue first and then we're to a quick But yeah, since the RS got funded this year, now the do text all building the task. There's been a top hundred million recutter within this year from nine hundred individuals that are multimillionaires because that was past to it. I think if you did the sporting, you sure and that can help

increase or decreasing are manual. So I did really together. Day we were saying there was how much washing cover five hundred million? I said, we need to work five hundred billion from nine hundred individuals yet after So if you can put that in context, five hundred million dollars, the multipliers you have to get to to get to a billion, and multipliers you have to think not don't hear me, I would sound like something's been a DC too long.

If I said that's a small amount, but comparative to the size and

more problems, not discount at five hund million. I'll run legislation. We'll say five and million every day, But in terms of it being a significant amount of money to move the needle of or we're headed financially, We've got in a bigger, go bigger than last from after your individuals in two months level and if they're funding and half higher they need we get a lot of the mine and drive out that before Well, I'm open for if you want

to get that information to Derek, who's walking back on around. We're happy to look in lean into anything we can do to put forth legislation to encourage savings and look, that's a defensive park. Were also a billion I like, I sent a letter to the HASS committed chairman under the six six billion dollars was about the Ukraine when missing as of Office of last year said you may remember this well, they said, all of a sudden, we think

we've got six billion more to spend an authorization in Ukraine. We think that we calculated wrong and our replacement cost doesn't match actual value. Now what I would contend is I've been a little sending year. But I will contended if it was done as a way under by Commerce and to milk another six billion dollars because they saw the Commerce was the thinking maybe it's just time for Native step up to the play, and so I sent a letter. I slid

a committee. I sent that information over to the HASH chairman and going on that committee and I ended up sending him a letter saying, what can I need to get priviage information? Even though I'm a member of this committee, I never got a response. So look, I'm for all areas of governor to be inspected for efficiencies because we've got to We're gonna have a chance by next Okay, thank you for your votes of minutes. Now I had to

a famlia trying to continue into the US. Can I tell you that I'm embarrassed when people give me youngratulations that I don't tell you why I'm embarrassed. It should have happened long ago, and it should happen in a place where any entity crosses the line where they don't have to get more spendable law. And he's to be so immediate and the conference doesn't even think about it.

It doesn't take a year of twisting and rambling. And I mean, I'm an embarras insted and took that for people to say that a bureaucrat who refuses to enforce the law because now it goes to the Senate, and the Senate has to aanging for the Senate. I'm not talking about Oklahoma's too republican, never notice, but the Senate has to answer for the Senate led by the Democrats, and the Democrats we know are you're gonna take up anotherwhere and y'all,

whether it's Republicans in charge or Democrats in charge, the rule of law

has to start matter in this country. And I was a couple of weeks ago and this lady Don't see Ann started going after me because she asked me about my position, and I told her that the contingent over the asylum and then the even perhaps in any change of law, think I think it's Aposto thousand Sea was lost trans So CNN is is laying into the fact that a couple of years ago that following twenty seventeen moistors and forty years of the legal

immigration, that asylum the I'm sorry that the concept of section two twelve F, which in the Immigration Nationality Act says the President any moment, by class or whole, can can suspend in legal sorry illegal immigrations in this country if he considers it to be a detriment to our nation. Two twelve F. He used it on NY five and he suspended all actions from the United Kingdom South aka remember in Ireland. He used sectional law and so I said,

we're talking about change introgressional law. The difference between twenty seventeen and today is somebody actually followed the Immigration Nationality Act for President one nine. She refuses to do so. She pushes back, and then she talks about the Supreme Court decision on asylum, who said basically that because asylum was something that the commerce are supposed to give an extra level of attention to, that that overrides the

president's abilities to spend the entirety of all illegal immigration or immigration period. The Supreme Court, the ninth Circuit of the Supreme Court had that moment. What do you know about the nine circuits? The three importer they're liberal to the left, and the Constitution clearly says that it judges are immitior to be retained

for good behavior. So if commerce getting their acts together to get constitutional do you know there's how many words are representative Article one, which is the Legislati body two thousand? How many words represent the executive one thousand? How many words are in the judiciary three hundred? The Constitution of the areusim I'm sorry the feederalist figures to make it clear that the predominant ways to be left in the answer the legislator. That's why they took it most time to restrict me.

And so what's happened is, as Thomas Jefferson Vegas has said to someone, I think it's getting knox. You, sir, suppose that the judges are going to be the ultimate arbitrator of all constitutional questions. That is a dangerous doctrine, indeed, and would lead us to the desk physism of an oligarch, desert pistm is absent to control of men. The word despotism is in the Declaration of Independence as a part of just before it lists out the

grievances of King George Sis despatism are founding. Bothers hated it was an absent

representative of a republic. So what point I'm trying to make it? And if Congress doesn't get us act together and start bringing about the impeachment on judges who don't follow the law clearly stated and then eurocratics better than sixty five, It clearly spells at that, And I was asked this, go read it better than sixty five, where Alexander Hamilton says that impeachment's talking specifically about impeachment and he says, we're following the British charlet Wull where and if the states

have also employed and that the impeachment is to be a bridle in the hands of the legislative body, to be used upon the executive servants of the development. I wrote enough cousin of verses to tell you what a bride's supposed to be used in one of them. Whoa, whoa with a good courage. Cha right, he's next year couple minutes on your positions, which a creative

funding. I'm curious how that doesn't apply naser A billions and billions dollars you hear in the militaria to a country that is, I believe in the top third nations on Earth to wealth and then a number two. When is the

border issue? And as far as I saw the trafficking in the neigh of a big cry accas with it dealistic drugs that are coming over that are killing hundreds of millions of Americans, when does this become like in treats of this issue, because I would literally have people sitting in office that are responsible for people dying. Industry, so I live. I looked at the I looked at a couple of mothers who wanted lost their job to thin the blue sile.

And a few weeks ago and I asked a question about blood Alliance and about I didn't hid the secretary of my work is a director of the NBIRA, director of FBI. Ray is already coming out and saying that what's happening on the border is the hype of the national security risk. It has been greatest enough to say that I've been serving this administration. So I made sure they're making even though people setting the next point orcus in our committee hearing probably

a month or two ago, you could bother the clip of this. I looked at him, and I didn't choose to speak to the second verse. I wasn't trying to slide it. I just knew he would turn the words and fill a muster, And so I loved a director Ray. I said, are your hands clean? Have you done all that you can? You've gone far a little bit farther, but have you done all that you can?

Are your hands clean? I actually used a scripture that apparently that's what grew up my orcer strong, because even though I didn't ask a question, he had to give you a reply. When I talked about Zekiel thirty three and three that he talks about watching you see from the wall, they seem destructures coming and if they don't cry out the Old Testament, the tour Jews they all believe this too, if you don't cry out the bloods of your hands, so I said, included the director, I said, do you

see destructure coming seventy thousand? This potential for terrorism? Are you doing? Director Ray? I did you a purpose you doing? Director? Because I knew my orgest would. I knew I couldn't get it past this. The director Ray, it's a conscious of being moved on him and start talking about this as a national security with and even though I didn't ask my orders' question, I made him so angry he had nursie. He's really hard. Okay. In an issue, let me tell you why I have a different Feelo

issue number one. I believe that we are alike to the world, and I believe visuals alive to the world. And I'm gonna share somethingay through that comes from a sense that is in tandem with what you all figured out. I think I have a biblical world heave, and I believe in that blessed An issue or is something that is being much different situation than what's going on

with your credit. I also will pretend we've been him one hundred and sixty times argue as to armed forces had been targeted one hundred and sixty times in the Middle East after our twitter seven Arl two of the Constitution said the president is in power if absolute declaration war, and we even hint as commander in chief, we can respond. So we've already spent three billion dollars in fuel

and otherwise, plus in our national security interests. If you look at what's must describe about the goods that are flowing through with the increase of costs, it's not very similar to what's happen in Ukrainia. So there's an element in the constitution that says, I call it the piracy of the atm rade dollars one one, Section eighty. But it says the pops about our ability to defend ourselves in the high season. We have our shipping lands that were being

targeted over there in the red seed um down. So am I weaving Some constitutional things are pretty thick on you. But can I tell you the big one that stands out to me? I would bless those of message, and if you look historically inty, you really story, really story, really. There are times of greg lesson in America. What happened in the fifties, right after the establishment in America's grave orld of forty eight? What happened to

us after the embassy was put in juries or whatever? It says, you'll cause more. Word three a great blessing. So I do believe there's a blessing. Do I think we need to be fruit money by fight for ever return for what josph putting more to pay for it? Yeah, I know. My preference is sixty million dollars a year. This is the one percent that everybody makes us a small feature on our foreigner and a it's still sixty billion a year. We need to be cutting the funding going to unwar under

the United Nations that was used to undermine Israel. There's a significant amount of bundy. We need to be less set in our funding to Umn given we need to use the power of the First because of the things they continue to do than under my eye values. Then we need to be looking at the money we're suing to Jordan and in Syria, and we need to be saying we've got a real issue at all post October seven Israel. Sorry, but

this fund is going to be sent somewhere else. So if we need department through the povers different from what Center Ford, if I got a chance to do, there's no prioritization. It is mond not fully money. Don't look maybe in terms of you've got to cut, you gotta as set, you gotta move from it. It's just what other new money proof can we create in our minds and spend. And that's the embarrassment of a of an approval

talk. Can you imagine spending our entire session ten years ago voting on money there was one hundred borrowed the whole gonna get my name and David Columns and I think the proby guy I have. I want to thank you for represent

and weave of the people that I don't know if you're aware. Senator Marquee in the Senate with Senate Bill thirty five eighty nine and Congressman Ranked and Rash I'm charge uh and in the House with an HR of sixty nine, are both trying to pass le legislation preventing private paramilitary activity of four And if that passes in an essence, what it would do. It would need any church security or any security law. Know that I'm crazy past agency. That's bad.

I don't think it will pass, but I'm disappointed in anger that it would even be if a deferredentu if everything it's incentive. The other thing I want to say is the three Letter agencies have been in fact that we the people for years. I would like to see them defunded and get them under control so that they stopped where So when we started this process last last year with a four day standoff that led to We're going to do some things a

different way. A part of that was any spending cuts. I had a larger role to play it as my biggest ass is any spending commendents would be made. We made in the order on the floor, so you can go back and down compared to the year prior and you can see where every Member

of Commerce in the House voted you want spending cuts. So I had a number of amendments and collectively the Freedom Comcas, which exists of about forty people that are among the most concerned the anytime I get a chance to say, I'm grateful to have the opportunity under Congressman Kern who allowed me to settle on his Republican Study and committed many budget committing on a big client on the three

D concuss Win. So you've got the guys who are giving on freedom, commers life and like a Congressman Hern, who are taking our debt debtloading seriously. So I want to say that it's not just freedom costs. You've got a Republican Study Committee which a chair chairman Hern, he chairs it. So there are others, but there's not enough. Once when I include going back just to twenty nineteen spending level, a mindence on the floor this last year.

Now there's no preperatures people to go back and look because my congressman just telling me they're conservative and not voting like a concernative. I was kidding anywhere from eighty to one hundred and twenty votes of two hundred and twenty Republicans just to go back to twenty nineteen spending levels to remember this boss, discretionary spending two unreds of my budget. How's a mandatory mandatory? Is social Security,

Medicare and Medicaid food stamps? All we can in justice? Eligibility is Congresses made it now in the WARLD. That's all we can do. Thinking we spending them all of our time as these twelve appropriations heals one third of our budget and yet one hundred per cent to borrow money. We've broken that out. We're doing the twelve appropriations. When we got to the area is a Department of Justice, it was the biggest cut agencies where we were getting support

among the Republican comments. So I want you to know the three hundred goddesses taking those claims serious, and we were using the power of the personal maketure to the end, and THEI, the partal Justice was getting the message. Now with what happened at the end of the year, the appropriation bills and all, when it got scuttled and we didn't get to finish the process, but that was where our name was at. And that see if the biggest cd C I, s c jis Justice Department was in with internet, what

was that? That was the accorhate you might remember, John, you remember what the Yeah, that's okay, But anyways, that was a preparation field that we had a bigga superstia becas so point taking Hey, Congress, were they small? Thanks for the thanks for being here. Yeah, and I just wanted to say that for every one person that came here said been plain about it, there's a big side of us and that loved you. Continue

langage und to twenty. What do you be doing now for the future that can help put us on a better path and mean the new paths across their vis coming. We had God that had unbration into movement that it becomes more popular to get our physical house in order than to allow somebody to run in Congress and promise and more benefits. It has to be the narrative among your friends and their neighbors that we have to comp start calling people out for that

branding politics. I was reading the news spectrum if someone is going to retire, and the way this mistakes away okay, and the way that they can congratulates mercy was by saying that they've got so many more dollars to their congressional district and they can't be replaced because they're not an congression of bollify rock to their digit. Now, look, if you want to have that mind seteen years ago without the understanding that we're living one hundred percent tomorrow time and borrowed

money, I wouldn't be so down on that. But we have to adult in the moment. Yes, it's no longer when Nan and I were working with Tom Poko twenty years ago, saying in twenty years when man a care, when a social security hid insolvency, y'all, we're a matter of a few years away. That's happened in a few years. Twenty twenty eight medicare here, you say it is, I'm broke the record ten percent cut by actually analysis Medicare twenty twenty eight, So it's all security twenty thirty three,

twenty five percent cut. That's because even though that this is all fully funded now the two thirty minutetory spending, the payroll tax can't keep up. So now moving took place. When we get to twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty twenty thirty three, those of us have the budget committee. Those are Appropriator's

committee because they've so been in power to consult. Believe the bypassing the budget committee, they're going to be as we pull out of this fund over here called discretionary spubility, to be able to asset the lack of the twenty five percent company the average versus getting fourteen MS line now it's gonna be one thousand. The pressure is gonna be so intense in the numbers of Congress to pull

out nothingness. Here what I'm saying, there's nothing to pull out of every bit of the revenue the four point four trillion is taking to sustain Medicare and medicated social security and food stamps have been locked and you tell me how fair this is. Food stamps has been locked into mandatory spending and on the discretionary

side of true pay is not mandatory. And for those of you who are constitutionals and can recite the eighteen numerate powers, and you know that the bore of the eighteen are directed to our military, and you can't buy the food stamps. In fact, that you can't buy it is James Madison, father of our constitutions, standing on the floor at seventeen ninety two when he says

to his entire cold he's the father of the Constitution. In his early seventeen ninety two, they're trying to take the General Welfare Clause and apply its bailing out of industry. And he stands up when he says this. He says, when the fabers, it's funny. He talks about a master tact. He's a slop founder. When we've been brought fourth. We never admit the

pre end whe to take the authority over the specified powers. When he's talking about the preim we the people in the order for one more perfect union, established justice, and you're domestic premit ability, providing then the common defense, both the general welfare, secure the blessed deliberty to ourselves in our posterity. He says, in this an area, but look it up to all the confisis based seventeen ninety two. We never went through the pre am. It

was a general terms. The specified terms of what Congress is supposed to do is in is in the one to one section eighty. Had to know that that that's what he's talking about it And he says, if you do this, if you open this up with jimal well under clause to make it where we can do this, and what your path is is the Conress and then get involved in policing the streets, providing the primal provisions for the poor, direct education in the county parishes, in the states of education, and never

get other level of governments. That's where we're at. We are here because people are not as hearing to the founder's wisdom. We wanted a limited government, eighteen things, everything else left to this days, and we're losing.

So you ask him what can I do or what can you do? He's because your generation it's going to take a shlat even I'm not, they're gonna be there with it because I'm forties, dude, My forty is still but there's nothing for you except for a little standard of living when you're dead. I wish to somebody had a baby in the room so I can kiss it, so I could use it to say it owes one hundred and one thousand dollars that baby. It was one hundred and one thousand dollars, says sure.

The national debts and every day that o'clock goes up, that child's standard or live in your student. Look, look, how what will that one hundred thousand and one meeting paid by either no medicare, no social security or what. I will tell you what's likely to happen if they build out social security by pretty more money, hyperinflation and then we roll into the financial despot.

So we've got to build a grassmates movement where he did it over Lahoma, that if if people want talking about spending cuts, the people generally informed, knowing the math, saying them police be playing in politics. Please do be worried about your next election. Please stop pay the three kens. You you've gotten to be the adulthood, the room, hope, pulpless gods to take our values and represented the say old untry. So help the build a dress. It's a good one. And you I saw the second aggressions.

Joy the judgment because there are definitely of rowing judges out now on the state level. I think you need well, just as generals be considered legislating removing judicial community. I just put the fear of God. I don't know if you could go after their pension, but consider the pension too, and then as far as the federal judge is absolutely impeached, start going after those judges.

And then I don't think it we need in the federal adition in in Washington, DC, so deep funding and get rid of them and good reds. Let me me thank you for that. Let me just say it, guys, I'm not well. I'm gonna talk about it like nearly Willie doing

teaches. I'm talking about a serious mind an approach when you go through and we stop the allowance of original ten being the minutia the libers did on the Hawk when you planly read something and somebody says, yeah, I could extract this out of it and you got found documents and say otherwise, look we

have that has to be a sepreal tolerance to that. And we I've never form thinking to carls Will talking about how we're getting in when we had the first present United States, he issued eight executi quarters, the next three accurate issues one a piece, and then you get the ten. Most of the Republican issues one thousands and executive corts are Article one, Section one says all

legislative powersh we bested the commerce. And then you get get the Theodore or Record or Frankling Delaware, Roosevelt, this cousin, this to cousin who's a Democratic, and he issues three thousands. And then when an average priverage of two hundred per Republican and per democraph, this has to be reset meaning I'm okay about the first day, take it again and then fix it the wrong but we have to reset it. When the Republican to get somebody in the

White House and say we have to be the rule of law team. Now that that's what Mike John said. Look, we say to somebody kindness, he's a good man. There are a lot of us that he respects a lot as he likes that we're I'm trying to keep my mouth off of some decision that our figures make it and I'm like, I know what's in it, and I'm trying to as a friend to help him bring that to the

top. And so I just want to say, for those who would look at the chance and go, is there a difference I can tell you above the internal respect of the politics, there is any difference of people who really respect this man. We're still pushing on him, still pushing on him to convicts some but that is a significant change versus if we hear it bas to Washington, DC, and you vote for somebody because you're afraid of what they'll do to you, versus somebody you really know whether in the cord is a

good person. I'm a big friends became in nineteen cent maybe with my family from where from Cuba, Well, wow, economist country, yes, And this country has changed a lot since nineteen seven. And from where I as stand with the experience that I have my family. I'm very fearful world infusion of the United Spaces. So my question to you is, are you up to miss uh uh the fusion with the United States? Because from where I stand, it feels like the gen is out of the pot and it's very

scary. Okay, so the sert I man I nobody's asked me quite that bloodline's let me give you quite a better response. There's been a heaviness on me for about two months, and I've talked a lot about it, a heavenness because I just see the lack of a true desire to do what I've talked about with you. Only I wasn't the only number of the build last yeven four six million on the boards across sixty wasn't any more way than describing

the CBO scorecard. And I had this nice lady. He walks over to me, and I start talking about and I start talking about and emmemorating powers. I started talking about all one section Nay. He said. She wanted to know why you gonna this my mood? And I told her, I said, I have to be truthful to what I said, and I can't make this and only she said, but what does that have to do with

my mood? I went through it again. She said, we're gonna be really hoodling this some member of comers and Scott period might d Scott Perrys Uteri of gree of Pope's sitting right there. He said, Hey, these boys trying to tell you is this not a constitution? But what does that have to do with my mill? But not making this up like it wasn't exactly if it's not the constitution, But that's what she kept saying. I was

like, oh my gosh. So when there's an education that has to happen in a nation for people not to think that you a let a populace to just do what they dmit in these positions. It has to be under the rule of law. It's why they don't get rid of Judgseph don't adhere to original intents, who don't adhere to their rollable. It's why at lawlessness of

bureaucracies. It's because they don't themselves understand that. They say. Because if John had said that you are to be a nation of a government of laws, not a government me, you shouldn't have elected me to make my decisions. You should elect it elected me to make decisions under constitutional adherence. Yes, Josh, Josh and me, and they under setting me on welcomes the city. Now, I know I followed her those as closely as probably anywhere

in the state you follow as close as Thomas Massey's thought. But I'll start at the time. And nobody, nobody wants to blesses RT more than I think he hold all that semester, sure, and I just kind of want to be differentiate this idea between blessing Israel and spending finals. It is Josh and I can't do the math right, So you're talking about king On, who know the numbers? You know the math, and you know how about

that's the choice she is And I'm like, hi, Okay. A year ago to copeheated and I was talking about how I was talking about how can I applause you to tell you something? So Thomas mass is a Josh likes Thomas Masses. You don't know that Thomas and Mass he is Thomas, Okay, Thomas one of my Thomas is one of my favorite big kay. I stood on the floor with him last week on the individual Ady will Osuel king

up and I said to him, I'm talking about you. I said, there is a younger man that I have to be able to max your moot. I'm not kind of kicking with him. Guy's okay, and and uh Thomas, he Thomas will tell you how want you're concern. Thomas will tell you. But I looked at him last week on a issue there was my choice of me. A few weeks ago, an Isia get jammed by the Senate and them send one hundred and thirteen billion dollar age pack I think it

was at that time. Or we put up a standalone boat and I wanted an Austin board, but that offset wasn't there. Okay, I voted under the Austin in the first time. Or call the president now to him hard before the bill went up. They're saying that he was doing Let to it well. That measure was designed to do is good the massiful pressure to stop Ukraine. So it was a calculating decision. Would I tell you that even if inspired the calculating decisions, I feel like he was the right move.

But I believe it was the calculating decision to buy Cocate could stop the Ukraine at the pressure they would try to jam the house. Does that make sense? I understand the political mfication undilion verses seventeen billion to go ahead and then give one more thing. Gary Kalmer had an offset. The building was gonna be twenty seven billion. I'm a final off sets and so Gary Ball, but they don't want to be truthful to you. His was going to run

as a trader. I've wanted my good morning a number of us A freedom cock was warned on that is Israel bill, but Byron Donalds, who is very sharp, was one of those. Basically I think he's saying this right. He was the only way he could try to jam the Senate to keep up get the one hundred million of jam us, because it would he would show the American people we willing to do some vision. But the American people

hopefully saw the President doesn't want it. But if they breaksision. But did you see that when we send the state little bill, it's not easy that he's had. It's Ukraine. So to try to show the American people. So let me say this, so Garry commerce follow up bill was not attached to it, and we did a lot of I was going to go nowhere, but we also knew the Israel A bill was not gonna be anywhere,

please Cotin and I don't disagree. I think, oh, I think a lot of what you're describing can also be solved by the fact that if David Johnson's gonna be as strong as he's starting to show them, he's starting to talk about was declining bills to the floor, which if he keeps doing that, that gives you guys an even more power, and that doesn't keep happ like what I'm sitting there, that needs to keep happening. And so I get I get more excited want service that because it shows that the House and

actually make this serious. But then just as far as the reason that a freefor picture is the sual the thankfully it didn't pass, I just followed your vote, my thoughts, and it's just gonna be there. You know how much hardware that how was? Do you know some free of college like like, I can't get how much I want one off set whatever. And that's why I'm still on them. That's why you still haven't know if that's the

two Chase, Josh. But if I have looted, know if I'd have voted no, and that thing we couldn't have got it passed couldn't it comes? Then it comes. Then it comes to Speaker Johnson and he declines anythinting that is absurd, like that's what we need. We need to put the speaker for you has the courage to stop garpentry the center. But that's the only villa you hold against me after this year? Is that the issue of

my keeping? That's a good effer. And then so here's why all that's a matter if you and I'll actually touch on some of the comments that when we made the previous leading. First, the gentleman who was talking to me about the five hundred million numbers savings, the dead is rising two point eight billion per day. So earlier I shouted out, that's the snow afternoon. I wasn't a kidding. Second, the spending. It was that there was

an exploded under the previous president of Trump, which is clearly felt. He was making a comment. I wonder to support her on that because she's a packer on that, and it's importing that's your public gaze and recognize things like that. And it's also important, can I say, and I don't feel like I would be under minding. I had one conversation it was forty five about strain and growing govern in point person, I was very agitate about that.

So I've already had the opportunity to have that conversation. I had very often just to beat that. I crushed that point, handled it with the expectation, with a great hope and expectation it was changing. There was one in the computer's meeting mooted against the giantic ports expect you foms massy followers suspected me out the dat and told me how that all the play So I had the I will fell the flumless that no ball lestill remaining the second favorites all

right, keep going. Yeah, So just finally I just wanted to my question when you've worded, just some further comments on yes, this the individual's vending deals I wouldn't see. I definitely want to see that happened. And then also just seeing the comments you have, that's part of what we're seeing schizing if it's gonna start having minute players, if we want to see.

But then finally the mating the final worth throw one away you're gonna say that is that last year I was talking about the discretionary spit when you were talking about how all these things that are gonna go away like I've been run around them and chicken my head put off on the seven for over two years. Now when I when I figured the math out, I'm figured out how broken it was. The discretionary spinning is not the only thing that's gonna eat into

it. The thing that's really going to kill us is the escalating interest cost. Last year was a defense budget, mister pass interest Now last year, last year, the two year real was three point four percent. It got as high as five point one percent or so just a few months ago. It's back down and it's gonna go way past the guys in places not mean to stop. And when the bond market, the bond marketing is one really rules the roost. It's not social charity payments. In my pay pays,

the bond margument will be paid. And when that happens that all the rest of this is annoying. It's like it's the Israeli Ukraine ad. It's all just, but it's high in the skies because we won't have it all right, So let me be back up what he's saying it because he is right. I still was with the Congressional Budget Office again, I just told you we got the budget rereading we had in front of us. He answers to

the Budget Committee CBO director. I asked him, can you confirm what the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget is saying that by twenty fifty forty percent of our entire federal budget and we change nothing, No more Coco billauts, no more expenditures in other countries, if we change nothing. This is glad pack. Can you confirm that in twenty five years of our interest is just on our day, our interest payments will be forty percent of our budget? He said

this, So it's our interest piens. We were spending two hundred to three hundred billion of dollars tres marks a few years ago. We're now just shot at tillion dollars before year and just start interest. Plush down the toy. It's my chief for defense. So why have some plus but putting these amendments going back to twenty nineteen spending bills because I know I can't get something into Republican collers to go back to, you know, real solid cuts on things

that are in the memory of the age and num red cars. The political will is not there with the freedom costs made a calculated decision to do maybe maybe something in the Republican study. Cony also is the amendments we've ran in this whole year, where I hold my team twenty nineteen twenty nineteen. They could try to get twenty sixteen. I've got twenty nineteen because I wanted to building a narrator Cato. I do not agree with Cato on some things,

some things like catos can be good over. Cato has a scenario that if we go back quickly reset the twenty nineteen on the discretion area pre codd w there's thirty sin less and we only grow the government at two percents with the idling gimmicks on our growing rate of our economy, then within ten years we can hold study in our debt to GDP ratio that is huge compared to the alternative, adding eighteen and a half truly to a gross national debt over the

next ten years. That seems interesting. And then that's the other that's the death spiral financially looks like folks, that's you. I'm not kidding about the grassroots movement. The map is happening, Inflation is happening. It's now thirteen hundred dollars worth among the average family, or we'll spend it this month compared to January twenty twenty one, it's fifteen dollars on the course of a year. That there's no change in what you thought. That is the loss of

buying power because of the evaluations your currency. And if that's not enough, get people getting stirred about count of spending. Whatever government, your link you're giving you by bringing more home, more home, you're taking it from this inflation area index. That is just widening people's ability to be able to afford

the daily because Dan, okay, whatever. So one morning, okay, I will stick around and this individually given I'm not sure what the hard heart stop is and I want to catch you so listen, Thank you guys, so much like BR's on is such a treat. Dan took me through through Ramona South just at the east. Just as we went through Ramona was what was the drive? Man, y'all gotta have cond trees like I have where I'm from. That's a good wall of land over there. So it's just

like, man, this is like my own area is. So it was beautiful coming in in, y'all. Of course, you know that Dan lives in your community. He's our district director. Katie In he's like, she's not employed. I'm grateful and gall for all of you to hang out on Katie Inn and we'll claim her as its extended part of our team. If you can't get an old day, Hey Dan, thank you. If you're

still in the room, and then Derek is our field reverences area. Make sure that you agree with you if you want to get something to me. I actually read these fielding points, so get into telling them something. I read it eat And of course you could call our office and they turned down on a call of ords. But better than the four years to get get

these field of port called more detail. The God bless you guys. Want to stick your out to the WAMAS day let me you don't make you believe me someone thank you all
