good afternoon, Welcome to the Bill Martinez

8
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.479
Show. We've got something real special. I always appreciate whenever we get a

9
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:04.200
chance to to get the whole truth
and nothing but from somebody who is in

10
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.000
the room and is on the front
lines, especially when it has to do

11
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.920
with the bureaucracy and what's going on
in Washington, DC. Congressman Kevin Kylie

12
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.040
was part of the incoming freshman members
of Congress that would give the majority to

13
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.760
Republicans. We've heard a lot about
the investigations into the alleged Biden pay to

14
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.640
play, a two tiered justice system, a compromised FBI, but there's more

15
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.920
that we the people are not hearing
about, but we should be aware.

16
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:36.400
The Congressman reviews what has been accomplished
in these initial months of this Congress and

17
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.599
what he sees next. Welcome US
Congressman Kevin Kylie, Kevin, welcome the

18
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.159
show. Good to have you with
us. Thanks very much, Bell,

19
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.719
It's great to be with you.
Kevin. I am so grateful to you

20
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:53.040
because you have been accessible back in
the days when you were representing the state

21
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:59.840
of California in the Assembly and even
during your campaign. I have just been

22
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:07.200
so gratified and encouraged in getting to
know you and appreciate your passion for the

23
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:12.599
Constitution and the American dream. Well, thank you, very kind to you,

24
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.560
and I've appreciated the opportunity to join
you and have these discussions about how

25
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.840
we can restore some sanity to our
country. Well, Kevin, people are

26
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.919
confused because they're hearing the narrative that
comes from a mainstream media, you know,

27
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:32.000
from the left. It just seems
like there's a you know, a

28
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:38.159
dual you know, or you know, multi level scheme of what reality is.

29
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.479
Because when I hear the Democrats talk, uh, you know, whatever

30
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.439
it is, if it has to
do with the southern border, or it's

31
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.319
the Biden pay to play. Here's
all this evidence, and they act like

32
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.759
what evidence? And uh, you
know, so what is going on with

33
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.680
the with the disconnect of being able
to talk across the aisle because even back

34
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.479
in the old days, of course, you know, before you actually got

35
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.680
into office, Uh, the left
used to be able to talk to the

36
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.639
right. They may not have you
know, agreed, but they seem to

37
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.599
agree on what the end destination is. And right now there seems to be

38
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.120
a clear divide on where, you
know, what the vision for this country

39
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.879
is and what they want versus what
Republicans want. Well, I think that

40
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.759
yes, there's a lot of truth
in that, in the sense that the

41
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.400
narrative seems to matter more than the
facts in a lot of cases. And

42
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.759
you have, you know, some
who are using their positions of influence and

43
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:42.840
power and their platforms to push a
narrative. And the narrative is predetermined,

44
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.719
you know, it is, uh, and then whatever facts there may or

45
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.840
may not be are simply used in
service of it. Whereas you know,

46
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.159
when you look at the work that
we're doing in the House in terms of

47
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:59.840
the proper oversight function of Congress,
the ongoing investigations on any number of fronts.

48
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.759
We're taking the exact opposite approach,
which is that we're looking for facts

49
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.680
and we're letting the facts go where
they lead, and not you know,

50
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.879
deciding where they're going to lead in
advance. Well, Kevin, I get

51
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.759
lots of investigative reporters who come on
the show, Trevor Louden, for one,

52
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.759
and he's made it clear that Congress
is captured, especially on the Democratic

53
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:28.639
side, with antifical forces. In
other words, they have abandoned their oath

54
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.360
of office to defend and support the
Constitution from all men and enemies, foreign

55
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:40.439
and domestic. And that sounds pretty
harsh and a pretty serious accusation, But

56
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.920
Trevor Louden has the facts. It
says that there are congressmen in Congress,

57
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:54.199
uh in in your association, there
in the US representatives over one hundred representatives

58
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.120
that are, for all intent and
purposes, card caring socialists. So how

59
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:04.160
does the socialist mindset in vision comport
with our US Constitution. Well, I

60
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:11.040
do think it's true that in the
House in particular, the Democratic Caucus has

61
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:16.160
really veered much further to the left
than it ever has and is much further

62
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.319
to the left than even the Democrats
and the Senate are. So you see

63
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:26.079
examples of bills that we've passed in
the House that got minimal, if any

64
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.480
support from the Democrats in the House, but then ended up getting overwhelming support

65
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.199
from both parties in the Senate.
And so that's you know, the good

66
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.000
news is that they're not the majority
in the House, so we have the

67
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.000
ability to set the agenda, and
I don't think they will be the majority,

68
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.680
given how out of step they are
with you know, what Americans are

69
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.160
looking for, and in particular,
you know, I think they're pushing policies

70
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:00.319
that, as you say, veer
very far from what this country is about,

71
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.319
from its founding principles, and which
here in the present have taken us

72
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.879
down a disastrous road when it comes
to the economy, when it comes to

73
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.439
immigration, when it comes to crime, and when it comes to a whole

74
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.920
host of other areas exactly well,
And as you say, and I understand,

75
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.600
you know, some people argue polling
doesn't mean everything. I think it

76
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.279
gives you an indication of where people
stand. But this is where leadership comes

77
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.319
in, and we're vision. If
you believe that you know the country is

78
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.959
on the wrong track, which what
we have right now. Majority of America

79
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.680
believes we're on the wrong track.
But if you believe that you have a

80
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:45.800
better offering, well, traditionally we
would do that through debate and a presentation

81
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.079
of your policies, not by compelling
people to do so. Because you've got

82
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:58.040
banks to limit their ability to be
able to have checking accounts if their program

83
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.600
doesn't comport with a green energy agenda, and on and on. I mean,

84
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.399
it just seems to be kevin that
our government has become so weaponized that

85
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:12.360
the idea of freedom and the American
dream is a thing of the past if

86
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.480
they have it their way, well, I think that's you know, there

87
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.079
are a number of threats in that
regard, Like you just alluded to one

88
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:26.480
central bank digital currency exactly they're trying
to push that would give the government this

89
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:31.279
chilling and unprecedented control over Americans,
where if you don't tow the line of

90
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.439
the government's ideological program, then suddenly
you're going to have your legs cut out

91
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.759
from under you. You're going to
lose your ability to engage in transactions,

92
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.360
You're going to have your assets frozen. I mean, it's no wonder that

93
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.560
the CCP in China is so excited
about this technology and is already trying to

94
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:57.560
develop it. So I've actually sponsored
legislation in the House to prevent the FED

95
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.199
from issuing a central bank digital current
see. And I think you're also correct

96
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.480
that this is one particular example,
but it is a symptom of a broader

97
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.199
trend of increasing government control. And
we saw that, of course during the

98
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.680
COVID shutdowns reach heights we never would
have imagined happening in this country. And

99
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.000
I think I think it's so important
that those of us who are committed to

100
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.199
fighting for the founding principles that this
country has been about fight harder than ever

101
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.639
right now so that we don't normalize
the heightened levels of government control that took

102
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.440
hold over the last few years.
Kevin, with all the indictments that have

103
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.559
been coming down against Donald Trump,
the frustration for everyday Americans that I speak

104
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:50.279
with is that here we've spent so
much money on January sixth investigations, but

105
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.399
the big elephant in the room that
people keep stepping over and ignoring is that

106
00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.399
you've got sixty two percent of the
country they still don't believe in the assaults

107
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.399
of twenty twenty. And I'll tell
you this is one of the rare shows

108
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.120
that you can come on and we
can have a conversation about it. There

109
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.679
are so many other places that I
go to that I'm invited on, and

110
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.159
it's interesting. You know, they'll
ask about the voting, the question of

111
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.879
voting and the results, but they
don't want to hear the answer. And

112
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.879
I'm saying, you know, people
say, well, don't you believe in

113
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.159
the in the results of twenty twenty. I say, honestly, it's not

114
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.639
a matter of believing. I don't
know. And the fact is an everyday

115
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.799
citizen along with you know, millions
of other Americans, they don't know for

116
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.480
sure. And that's pathetic when you
consider, you know, all that's involved

117
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.759
here, not only for three hundred
and forty million Americans, but the world

118
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.039
that looks to America as an example. And is that shining hill, that

119
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.399
shining light on a hill, Kevin, Well, yes, and I think

120
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.240
that you know what you're alluding to
is, you know, we have a

121
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.759
governing class in this country which,
in collusion with big tech and others in

122
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:13.320
the media, has taken it upon
itself to define the boundaries of acceptable political

123
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:20.799
discourse, and to simply rule certain
topics as altogether forbidden and you know,

124
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.840
worthy of censorship if someone has the
audacity to utter them, which, of

125
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.799
course, nothing could be more antithetical
to the idea of freedom of speech that

126
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:39.559
is the core of our First Amendment
and indeed sort of undergirds our entire republican

127
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.600
form of government. And so I've
tried, in my role in the House,

128
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:50.840
in every way I can try to
push back against this tendency to criminalize

129
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.639
speech, to censor speech, to
you know, make it so only some

130
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.960
topics are allowed in the public sphere. For example, we have a bill

131
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.200
on co sponsoring with Jim Jordan that
says that if you are someone in government

132
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.720
and you order, let's say,
a post on social media to be censored,

133
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.960
and you'll be subjected to fines and
other penalties for doing so. Because

134
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.840
of course, we've seen many,
many examples of this. Now, you

135
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.120
know, without a doubt, we're
talking with Kevin Kylie, a US Congressman

136
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.440
from California's third district, and we're
talking about, you know, this current

137
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.440
session. We're on break right now, getting ready to come back. And

138
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.639
boy, the agenda is you know
that you're looking at has a lot of

139
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:43.080
expectation, and I believe, Kevin, it has hope. And it has

140
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.120
hope because you and I and others
believe in the American people, and we're

141
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.879
trusting in our elected officials, no
matter how compromise maybe some have been.

142
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.440
And I praise you for your courage, because this is not necessarily an easy

143
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.559
battle, even with a what do
you got a five seat majority in the

144
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.919
House right now? Right? That's
right. It's a very slender majority,

145
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.679
and of course the House is the
only house chamber where we have the majority.

146
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.159
We have divided government where the Dems
controlled the Senate and the White House,

147
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.279
and so that, you know,
creates a very delicate balance and a

148
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:28.039
fairly slender window of opportunity for getting
the country back on the right course and

149
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.799
preventing further damage. But I think
that so far we've managed to sort of

150
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.399
maximize that opportunity in a way that
really has at least stopped us from going

151
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:43.240
even further down the road that this
administration was taking us in its first two

152
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.399
years. Yeah, you definitely hit
the brakes, There's no doubt about it.

153
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.360
I only wish that the previous Congress, Kevin and you probably look at

154
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.679
it as well, is they didn't
accept, you know, Nancy Pelosi's budget

155
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.120
because I know that you're trippling,
You're you're tripping over some of that,

156
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.320
you know, the lingering budget constraints
that were established from the previous Congress,

157
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.240
which you know, ironically, you
know, the Democrats didn't allow the Republicans

158
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.639
to do that. But yet the
Republicans, for some reason, somehow,

159
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.279
thinking they're going to be nice guys, empowered Nancy Pelosi and allowed their budget

160
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.519
to carry over. Is that fair? Well, what Pelosi did and you

161
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.039
know, and the Congress of the
last couple of years, is they escalated

162
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.639
spending to simply unprecedented levels. They
went on a multi trillion dollars spending spree,

163
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.039
which was something that actually even Barack
Obama's Bamba's top economic advisor said was

164
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.759
a bad idea because it would trigger
an inflation crisis, which of course it

165
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.919
did. And the thing about inflation
is it's you know, even if you

166
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.240
bring inflation levels down, it doesn't
only reverse the damage that was done.

167
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.240
So they did this damage. It's
now baked in to our economy. And

168
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.000
what's more is they sort of created
this much higher baseline for federal spending,

169
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.240
and once you create that higher baseline, it's really hard to yank it down.

170
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.440
So we're doing the best we can. And in fact, we have

171
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.440
lowered the baseline somewhat from last year, which really has never happened where you

172
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.039
get spend less one year than you
did the year before. But we certainly

173
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.519
have a long way to go to
get a return to some sense of reasonable

174
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.960
spending levels. And it's because of
the way that Pelosi governed over the last

175
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.600
couple of years. Well, yeah, the tradition has been we'll spend money

176
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.799
and figure out how to pay for
it later. But at least with Donald

177
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:37.080
Trump as a businessman psyche and mentality
understood that GDP was king. If we

178
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.759
could increase the GDP, then we
can start to buy down some of this

179
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.720
debt. At least there was some
consideration for it. But you know,

180
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.200
we've got to find a way,
Kevin, at least in my humble opinion,

181
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.200
to get all the cylinders working,
because we have the manpower, we've

182
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.320
got the creativity, we've got the
I believe, the industry, and uh,

183
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.240
you know, the American people.
You know, the work ethic of

184
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.879
the American people to you know,
increase the GDP, which is you know,

185
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.919
controversial as far as Barack Obama is
concerned, because he felt, and

186
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.960
you talk about being baked in the
cake, that America would be forever mired

187
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.519
somewhere around less than two percent GDP. And I've always felt that if we

188
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.360
could get everybody on the same page, we could realize as Trump talked about,

189
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.919
you know, maybe a four four
to five percent GDP possibly, But

190
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.759
we can't do it if you're going
to kill the energy sector like you know

191
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.519
what Biden did on his first day
of office. That's a great point.

192
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.399
You know, they have this mentality
where while the size of the pie is

193
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.480
fixed and we just need to extract
more a larger and order share of that

194
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.840
pie to go to the government,
to go to government programs. Whereas you

195
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.000
know, we have a much different
view, which is that if you could

196
00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.799
have sound economic policies that encourage growth, that empower business creation, that encourage

197
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:07.360
work, then the entire size of
the pie grows. You have a larger

198
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.879
economy, and then you don't need
to raise taxes. You actually will be

199
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:18.840
able to raise revenue to pay down
the debt simply because keeping the share of

200
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.200
the pie that goes to the government
the same or even making it lower might

201
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.279
result in a net increase in revenue
just because there's uh, you know,

202
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:33.720
a larger amount of total economic value
in a way, Kevin, and I've

203
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.399
said this to me, I just
with my father growing up. You know,

204
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.720
we've had these discussions while he was
alive, and that is that you

205
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.919
know, maybe we needed to call
a pause or a time out on the

206
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.679
government. You know, almost like
a Chapter eleven, you know, reorganization

207
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.559
to where all the sacred cows are
looked at, and we really bring these

208
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.759
things into order that all our departments
are held into account. You know,

209
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.960
you don't have something like you know, the military spending, you know,

210
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:07.480
the amount of money they're spending without
any accountability. I mean that's unacceptable.

211
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.599
I mean that's the people's money.
There is a fiduciary responsibility. But for

212
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.319
some reason, the bureaucracy and the
elites believe is somehow they're above that,

213
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.440
and that's not the way to run
a government, isn't not at all.

214
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.480
I mean we have been spending I
mean, there is so much waste for

215
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.839
autumn abuse in the federal budget.
It is absolutely unbelievable. So what we

216
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.279
really need to do is go with
a fine tooth comb through every department and

217
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.880
every agency and look at, Okay, what are they actually supposed to be

218
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.240
doing and things they're not supposed to
be doing. We need to make sure

219
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.920
they stop doing them and stop spending
money on them. And you know,

220
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:51.319
we need to look at the abundant
levels of waste that exists even within authorized

221
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:56.480
programs. And so you know,
if we were to actually undertake that task

222
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.400
in a serious way, we could
save an incredible out of money. Exactly

223
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.680
well, you know, even Donald
Trump did an analysis what we had seventeen

224
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:10.480
agencies that had overlapping programs left wasn't
talking to the right and you know,

225
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.039
like you said, just the built
in waste right there alone. The other

226
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.319
thing that I have been yelling and
screaming for years, Kevin, is that,

227
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:19.920
you know, when we get to
the end of the fiscal year,

228
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.759
that's when you get an emptying of
all the budgets. Everybody's got to spend

229
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.279
their money, and that's when you
get these stupid spending things because they have

230
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.480
to empty their budgets. And I
say stupid things when they start, you

231
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:36.480
know, buying a box of Tai
Conderoga number two. You know, pencils,

232
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.279
you know, for for a million
bucks, you know, because they

233
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.799
just got empty their budget. Because
if it's not empty, then they don't

234
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.359
get that that back. God forbid, they would leave it there. So

235
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.680
it would, you know, go
forward into the next fiscal year and help

236
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:56.400
the taxpayer that you know, and
that kind of irresponsible spending is frustrating,

237
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.240
especially where we are right now at
thirty two trillion dollars in debt and our

238
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:07.920
interest payment alone is approximating our military
budget. That's crazy. Well, that's

239
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.240
right exactly. You know, the
incentives are all wrong. What you want

240
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.680
to do is incentivize savings, but
instead the incentive is often as exactly as

241
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.119
you said, you need to spend
all the money otherwise you know, you

242
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.839
might not be able to ask for
more in the next year's budget. And

243
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.119
as far as the interest payments go, that too is correct and alarmingly so

244
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.279
you know, within the next decade
we're going to reach a point where we're

245
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.920
spending a trillion dollars each year just
on interest payments servicing the national debt.

246
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.440
That isn't a staggering sum. That's
money. It's not going to pick whatever

247
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.279
spending you think is most important,
whether you think it's social welfare spending,

248
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.079
whether you think it's military spending.
What do you think, Whatever it is,

249
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.000
that's money that's not going to that
rather than it's going to servicing our

250
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.359
debt. And of course that number
will continue to grow the more we continue

251
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.680
to spend, and god forbid,
we hit a bump and interest rate and

252
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.000
all of a sudden that you know, that spikes up. Now what are

253
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.279
we looking at, Kevin? Well, of course, yeah, exactly,

254
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:10.839
and so we make ourselves very vulnerable
to those sort of forces. Well,

255
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.720
we're talking with US Congressman from California's
third district, Kevin Kylie. Kevin,

256
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.240
Uh, let's look back and the
you know, the first session. I

257
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.319
mean in a lot of ways.
I mean, I appreciate that this Congress

258
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:29.680
has really taken up you know,
this session very seriously and has moved quickly.

259
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:32.960
There is a sense of urgency,
and I am grateful for that.

260
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.160
Uh. What is your read and
how you would evaluate, so to speak,

261
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.920
the state of the Union, if
I might put it in those terms

262
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.200
of this this Congress that you're you're
part of this freshman class. Well,

263
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.359
I think the state of the Union
is we are headed in the wrong direction,

264
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:53.519
but we at least have you know, reigned in the administration so that

265
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:57.799
we're not heading as rapidly in the
wrong direction as we were. In other

266
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:04.160
words, we've managed to put the
brakes on the truly radical policies that caused

267
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:10.240
us to have you know, this
economy that almost every American says they're dissatisfied

268
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:15.440
with, that caused us a record
shattering number of illegal border crossings of the

269
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:22.200
southern border that have caused you know, crime to reach alarming levels in many

270
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.599
parts of this country, and of
course that have caused spending to go absolutely

271
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.039
out of control. So we came
into office and have put the brakes on

272
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:37.559
all of that. We've restored a
sense of accountability. We're actually conducting meaningful

273
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.119
oversight of the executive branch, which
is something that the Posy Congress absolutely refused

274
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.400
to do. We're restoring a sense
of how the legislative process is supposed to

275
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:53.079
work. We reopened the capital to
the US public. We ended proxy voting,

276
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.119
so people aren't just voting from the
beach or the golf course. They

277
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:02.400
actually had to show up and do
their job. We're restoring regular order so

278
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:07.680
that individuals spending bills will be voted
on, you know, individually and considered

279
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:12.400
on their merits, as opposed to
having a multi trillion dollars omnibus bills rammed

280
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.799
through at the end of the year. So I think we've gone a long

281
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.839
way towards the course correction that we
so desperately need. But I think it's

282
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:23.759
also true that, you know,
it's only been seven months, We've got

283
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.200
a long way to go. Well, he had a meth to clean up

284
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:32.319
that you inherited, no doubt,
and Leader McCarthy, I mean, I've

285
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.559
got to give him credit and I
would encourage him just you know, for

286
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.920
me to you to him is that
he would somehow be able to unify the

287
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.680
Republican Party and the representatives in such
a way to where they stay focused,

288
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.920
they stay on point as to the
priorities, so that you know, what

289
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:56.000
we're hearing out of Washington is consistent. I think that's something that they could

290
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.319
possibly learn from the Democrats, right
or wrong. I mean, they day

291
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.839
on the same talking point. Republicans
have a tendency to you know, go

292
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:10.480
off the reservation at times, and
I think that that kind of defeats what

293
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.720
we're trying to accomplish here. That's
just in my humble opinion, Kevin,

294
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:18.039
what are your thoughts? Well,
I think that it is important that we

295
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.160
really stick together when it comes to
the important things, making sure that the

296
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:29.480
abiding administration does not continue to lead
the country in the wrong direction. And

297
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.359
we have such a small majority in
the House that it makes that sort of

298
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.440
cohesion that much more important. So, of course, different members are going

299
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:45.039
to have different priorities, and you
know, no one should ever feel tethered

300
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.880
to do what the party is doing
just for the sake of doing so.

301
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:53.160
Everyone has a responsibility to their constituents. But I think that we were realizing

302
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:57.359
that, you know, we are
able to fulfill that responsibility to our constituents

303
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:07.960
best if we find the common ground
that is necessary to put meaningful constraints on

304
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.079
the agenda that this president has been
pushing forward. And I think that that

305
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:18.319
level of cohesion has enabled us to
do more than many expected given the dynamics

306
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.920
that exists right now in Washington,
without a doubt. You know, you

307
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:27.680
mentioned earlier the southern border. This
is amazing that the amount of people coming

308
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:36.839
through our border illegally and Biden's policies
not really doing anything, you know,

309
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:41.480
to protect the national security. We've
got with this new movie, The Sound

310
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:47.160
of Freedom, really bringing to light
human trafficking and sometimes people all human trafficking.

311
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.759
It's adults, No, we're talking
children talking seven eight year olds that

312
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:56.079
are coming across the border that are
controlled by the cartel. That's just one

313
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.240
element. And you know, and
then you've got you know, the thousands,

314
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.119
thousands of American citizens who are dying
because of fentanyl and the illegal drug

315
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:12.640
trafficking that's coming through this portal.
And unless we forget also, this is

316
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:18.839
all part of the supply chain that
is controlled by the cartels that no longer

317
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.359
operating just south of the border.
They're well into the interior of our country.

318
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:27.599
Kevin, yes, of course.
And it is you know, directly

319
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:33.880
connected to the crisis that we have
in this country right now with fentanyl that

320
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:38.519
is taking lives in numbers we have
never seen. It is directly connected to

321
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:45.480
the horrors of human trafficking. Like
you mentioned, it's posing national security risks,

322
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:52.079
it's overwhelming social services, and it
is all because of the complete one

323
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.519
eighty that this administration did immediately upon
taking office, where they reverse the common

324
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.839
sense policies that we're working. They
stopped building physical barriers, they ended the

325
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:07.640
Remain in Mexico policy, They took
resources away from our border patrol. They

326
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:15.160
basically have turned the asylum process into
a de facto amnesty program. So it's

327
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:21.400
just been one thing after another.
Uh, and the results speak for themselves.

328
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:25.680
It is. You know, twenty
twenty one broke previous records for illegal

329
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.640
border crossings, and then twenty twenty
two broke those records exactly. Well,

330
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.880
it's no wonder Hispanic communities and the
Hispanic numbers that you know, some would

331
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.559
say traditionally voted Democrat are moving.
They're they're not walking, they're running away

332
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:44.759
from the Democratic Party because you know, these illegals that come into the country,

333
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.359
you know, common sense tells you
birds of a feather flocked together.

334
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.920
They're not going to the Hamptons.
They're going where Hispanic communities have been thriving

335
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.680
and done well. And now they're
up in arms because what they're dealing with

336
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.839
is MS thirteen, gangs. They're
dealing with an increase in crime. Uh.

337
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.640
You know, their children are being
captured into sex trafficking. I mean,

338
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.880
the pain that's coming out of these
minority communities is unconsciable, Kevin.

339
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.400
I mean, it's it is beyond
disgusting. It really is criminal, that's

340
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:22.400
right, absolutely, and this is
all done and by my Orcus. It's

341
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.559
no wonder the American people, I
mean you're hearing this, Kevin, they

342
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:32.240
want my Orchis impeached because they see
him as as the one who is of

343
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:36.200
course he's carrying the water for the
Biden administration and others, but you know,

344
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:41.200
he he just seems to be so
conveniently ignorant about the simple operations of

345
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.799
how the car tells. He doesn't
even know about the risk bands and how

346
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:51.400
they discern, you know, for
the car tells how each of these you

347
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.319
know, modern slaves are coming into
the country, and what jobs they have

348
00:27:55.359 --> 00:28:00.599
been assigned to. Right well,
the level of you know, the lack

349
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.000
of responsibility that he is willing to
accept for what has happened has really been

350
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.799
stunning to me. I mean,
he testified before the Judiciary Committee that he

351
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.960
doesn't think that the administration's policies have
anything to do with the crisis that we're

352
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.519
seeing at the border. So it
really begs the question, Okay, then

353
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.240
what exactly did cause it? If
it's not the change in policies that immediately

354
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:26.079
led to record chattering numbers of illegal
crossings. Why can't they be honest and

355
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.039
just say this is what we want. I mean, I've heard this narrative,

356
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.039
Oh, you know, they're letting
them in for you know, future

357
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.240
Democratic voters. Maybe that's part of
it, but I think it's there's got

358
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.119
to be more to it than that, Kevin. I mean, this is

359
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:47.720
totally nefarious. I mean, this
absolutely erodes the foundational principles of you know,

360
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.880
what this country stood on and what
it's all about. Absolutely absolutely.

361
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.960
I mean, is it that diabolical
that they just want to bring down this

362
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:59.759
country? Well, I don't know
what their motivations are, but what I

363
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.559
do know is that they're unwilling to
be direct and unwilling to accept responsibility.

364
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:08.000
And I think they've realized that this
is a huge liability that their Americans overwhelmingly

365
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:14.960
disapprove of the president's border policy and
the terrible consequences that it is unleashed on

366
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.720
our country, and yet they've been
unwilling so far to take any meaningful measures

367
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:22.799
to reverse course. You know,
well, Kevin, you definitely have made

368
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:29.039
an impact on this, you know, freshman class. How you've come on

369
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:32.759
to Congress. What are you on
five or six committee? I mean you're

370
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:36.079
an attorney. I mean you have
a lot of passion for education. We're

371
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:41.240
gonna talk about education in a moment. Uh, you know your position on

372
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:47.599
the Judiciary Committee and others. Man, I mean did you volunteer or they

373
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:49.319
just said, Hey, we got
a sharp guy here that knows what he's

374
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.759
doing. We're going to get him
on every committee we can get him on.

375
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.759
Well, you know, I was
very fortunate that I was able to

376
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.920
get onto the committees that I really
wanted to get on. I mean,

377
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:02.519
I knew the Judiciary was going to
be the center of the action as far

378
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:06.359
as holding this administration accountable. And
then as a former high school teacher and

379
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:10.279
someone that was very involved in trying
to fix our school system in California,

380
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.880
education was really where I thought I
could have a large impact as well.

381
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.799
So those are the committees that I
really wanted to be on, and I

382
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.640
was fortunate to have the chance to
serve on them. Well, update is

383
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:25.160
on education. We got a new
school year just around the corner. Uh.

384
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.559
You know, we've got parents that
have been up in arms about critical

385
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:37.440
race theory. What's happening in public
education Daughters being raped in unisex bathrooms because

386
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:45.359
schools have deemed it okay if somebody
is fluid with their sexuality and can go

387
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:51.000
ahead and violate our children. And
the kind of curriculum and pornography that's been,

388
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:55.160
uh, you know, thrust upon
our kids not to mention, you

389
00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:02.200
know, all the gender you know, the gender agenda and transformation. And

390
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:07.160
somehow these public schools thinking that they
have a right, they have first right

391
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:12.039
over our children and that parents are
no longer in that pre eminent position.

392
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:15.960
Yeah, and we passed the Parents'
Bill of Rights in the House, which

393
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:22.319
is aiming to get at this issue
because we do have some truly alarming things

394
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.839
going on in our schools, and
certainly during the COVID shutdowns, we saw

395
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:32.240
parents being dis empowered like never before, and so we're disempowered and arrested,

396
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.640
you know. So we're seeking to
do is to change the paradigm of public

397
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:41.319
education towards one that is parent directed
and student centered, because you know,

398
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.519
we have gotten so far from that. And I think that you know,

399
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.160
the movement of parents that is building
across this country is becoming a very powerful

400
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.799
political force that is making its voice
fell at the local level and at all

401
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:57.279
levels, and I think that frankly, on the other side, they're starting

402
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:02.319
to realize that they have alienated American
parents, and so I do hope that

403
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.839
we'll have an opportunity to at least
restore some sanity. And I think that

404
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.519
the Parents' Bill of Rights was a
good start. Well, and parents will

405
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:14.440
say, well, wait a minute, how is this enforced? But you

406
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.279
know, I think you bring up
a good point here that people need to

407
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:22.000
get their brains around, is that
legislation is only part of it. You

408
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.920
know, we have this is a
government of and by and for we the

409
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.880
people, which means we the people
need to activate. And so we need

410
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:35.599
to be vigilant and stand on our
constitutional rights and to help follow through and

411
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.839
partner with this legislation. Because the
Left has proven time and again, Kevin,

412
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:44.599
they don't care about breaking the law, they don't care about the constitution.

413
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.799
And so if we don't and are
not prepared to meet them in the

414
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.799
same force, we're going to get
run over, aren't we. Well,

415
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:58.559
we certainly need to fight for the
principles that have made this country what it

416
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.359
is, because there are many some
in this country and positions of power that

417
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.119
are trying to move us away from
those principles. And so I do want

418
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.559
to thank you for having me on
again. Bill. It's really great to

419
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.000
have the chance to talk with you, and I know that you're doing a

420
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:15.359
lot to get the word out about
what's been going on and what you know,

421
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.440
patriotic Americans throughout the country can do
to fight back. And I think

422
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.440
that this is an incredibly important moment
for our country, and I think that

423
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:28.720
everywhere I go, it's really encouraging
that I see that people understand that and

424
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.880
more people are getting involved, getting
involved at the local level, doing everything

425
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:36.559
that they can to get out the
word and to fight back and to fight

426
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.559
for our country. So thank you
for what you do, and I really

427
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:44.519
look forward to the chance to join
you again at some point in the future.

428
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:49.880
Well, we want to keep the
lines of communication open because this is

429
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.960
critical, Kevin, our audience,
the American people need to hear from somebody

430
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:59.559
who's in the arena, somebody who's
there. And you have fought, you

431
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:07.559
know, undyingly for constitutional principles,
being an attorney, being a conservative,

432
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:13.960
interested in families and education and all
these issues. Now are you limited on

433
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.840
time here? Is that what I'm
hearing? Because I want to respect your

434
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:22.239
time because I know that you know, this show normally runs about fifteen minutes,

435
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.119
and we've got another you know,
maybe another fourteen fifteen minutes ago,

436
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.320
if you have, I would love
to stay with you. Unfortunately I am

437
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.719
late for my next engagement here,
but I appreciate the chance to be on

438
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.880
and look forward to joining you again
sometimes. Okay, we will definitely do

439
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.199
that. Kevin Colley, thank you
for being with us. He's the freshman

440
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:45.440
US congressman from California's third district,
you know, talking about you know,

441
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:52.679
what's going on in Congress and updating
on us that is just been so critical

442
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:59.039
and to get it from him and
have an inside look into what's happening at

443
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:02.639
the Beltway and understand that he's fighting. He's fighting for us. So whatever

444
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.559
you can do to drop him a
line or call his office and uh,

445
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.800
you know, just give him,
you know, hey, way to go,

446
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:14.199
Kevin, Thanks for fighting for us. We'll go a long way because

447
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.960
you can only imagine the situation that
he's in, you know, uh,

448
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.400
and and and where we are in
the government. I mean, you know,

449
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:28.159
we see it here just in our
everyday lives. I mean, at

450
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.800
the grocery store, trying to have
a conversation with somebody even the other day,

451
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:35.960
I just, you know, I
made a mistake. Usually I try

452
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.280
to listen to people first, but
I just happened to make a comment about

453
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:43.880
the indictments on Donald Trump and a
person that I thought was, you know,

454
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.280
conservative, And it wasn't like I
was maligning anything. I just said,

455
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:52.079
Wow, what do you think about
these indictments? And oh my goodness,

456
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:59.159
they they were very animated in uh
spouting their position that they really believe

457
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:00.559
that, you know, Trump deserved
that, that he's guilty, and then

458
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:05.199
go whoa, Okay. So you
know, when you get in those kind

459
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.079
of situations, you're liking a bucket
of gum and you just kind of let

460
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:14.480
it go. And it just kind
of reminds me of what is becoming my

461
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.599
favorite allegory. I don't know if
I told you the story or not yet,

462
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:22.840
but there was a story about a
donkey and and it was it was

463
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:28.000
a donkey and a tiger, that's
what it was. And they were in

464
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.760
an argument over the color of grass. The donkey insisted the grass was blue,

465
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:35.880
just upset, very animated, you
know, just kind of like some

466
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:37.920
of the conversations we can have.
Right, Oh, the grass is blue.

467
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.920
The grass is blue, And of
course the tiger was, what are

468
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.159
you thinking, your knucklehead is it's
obviously greenian is not blue, and they

469
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.800
going and on and so finally they
said, okay, let's just settle this

470
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.559
once overall. We're going to the
lion. We're going to talk to the

471
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.400
lion and get his judgment on this. Okay. So they go to the

472
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:59.920
animal Supreme Court, headed by the
lion, and they they present their case

473
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.719
and the donkey says, the grass
is blue, and the tiger looks at

474
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.199
the lion like, you see what
I'm dealing with this knucklehead. He thinks

475
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:13.840
it's blue. Everybody knows it's green. So anyway, the lion renders his

476
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:19.480
judgment and he says the grass is
blue, and the donkey runs off kicking

477
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:22.599
his heels. He's all excited.
He's right, He's been proven right by

478
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.559
the eye magistrate, the lion himself. And meanwhile the tiger is dumbfounded,

479
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:35.599
going what that happened? And the
judgment against against the tiger was that his

480
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:39.119
sentence was five years of silence for
five years, he couldn't say anything.

481
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:44.960
He's gonna wait a minute, this
knucklehead is buying it, telling a lie

482
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:46.519
that it is blue. It's really
green. We all know it's green,

483
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:52.079
and I get sentenced. What's wrong
with this picture? So he says to

484
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:55.000
the line, he goes, wait
a minute. You know the grass is

485
00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:59.760
green. Everybody knows. This guy
thinks it's blue, and the line says,

486
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.599
of course, the grass is green. He says, okay, So

487
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.159
why am I being punished? I
was right the grass is green. He

488
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.440
says, You're getting punished first of
all, because you spent so much time

489
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:15.039
arguing with his knucklehead to begin with, you know it's green. Why are

490
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:19.119
you arguing whether it's green or blue? What a waste of time? And

491
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.320
as if that's not enough, you
bring the case to me and you want

492
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:28.400
to waste my time over this stupid
argument, so you get five years of

493
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:35.280
silence. You know, and I
thought that allegory is so pertinent for where

494
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:40.519
we are today and today's America.
We argue over so many things that it's

495
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:43.920
like, why are we arguing?
It's like, okay, you want the

496
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:46.119
grass to be Okay, it's blue, we'll pretend it's blue. I'm not

497
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:50.599
going to argue with you. And
you know, whatever it is, especially

498
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:55.559
with the body politics, it's just
insane. And you know when it comes

499
00:38:55.559 --> 00:39:00.920
to Trump and all the indictments,
you know, I mean, I mean

500
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:06.480
it's clear. I mean, there's
no doubt there's political prosecution and persecution it's

501
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.119
taking place. You know, the
Democrats are at I mean, these are

502
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:16.719
four Democratic operatives who have come after
the number one Kenada. This guy's got

503
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:22.119
the highest rate five polling numbers right
now, and they're going after him to

504
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:27.039
kneecap him so that they can not
only suppress the vote, but they want

505
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:31.840
to control who we can vote for. And so here they are leveling all

506
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:37.840
these indictments, which is unheard of. This is unprecedented what they're doing and

507
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:44.639
how they are truly interfering with the
people's right to vote who they want to

508
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:50.599
be president. It's not about let's
argue and debate on the merits and talk

509
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:54.639
about the things like we were talking
with with Congressman Kevin Kylie. You know

510
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:59.400
that that's irrelevant. No, I'm
going to force you. I'm going to

511
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.159
because this is what the Democrats do. Sadly, and I say Democrats as

512
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:07.400
a brush is not all Democrats,
but it is the leadership of the Democratic

513
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:13.039
Party. They want, they want
to determine an outcome, they want to

514
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.760
have full control of it. And
they cannot trust the American people to quote

515
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:22.280
unquote make the right decision because the
American people are part of those basket of

516
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.440
deplorables. Remember that Hillary Clinton referred
to like, we don't know what we're

517
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:30.039
talking about, we don't know better. The Nancy Pelosi said, thank God

518
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:36.559
for these brilliant attorneys that led the
impeachment against Donald Trump. And they did

519
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:39.239
such a great job that they didn't
prove anything. Uh, you know that

520
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:44.079
was really you know, had any
basis to impeach the president. It was

521
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.599
just they decided to attack him,
and you know, impeach him over a

522
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:52.320
phone call, over a phone call
questioning what Joe Biden said and did and

523
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:57.000
we know even more so what he
did and we even had, you know,

524
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:01.880
the fundamental understanding of what he did
in Ukraine, but no on a

525
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:07.039
phone call because President Trump asked President
Zelinsky at the time, he said,

526
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:12.360
look at it seems a little fishy, seems like there's some corruption. And

527
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:15.159
he checked into it for me,
that's all. He didn't withhold anything.

528
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.320
He didn't say, hey, if
you don't do this, I'm going to

529
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:22.239
hold back all this armament and all
this ammunition, which the Biden Obama administration

530
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:29.239
had done routinely to Ukraine until he
became president. Remember, they held back

531
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:35.880
things that the Ukrainians needed in order
to defend themselves against the Russians. But

532
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:39.880
no, you know, here it
is Donald Trump is the one that's being

533
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:45.280
being targeted. And as he says, inappropriately, so it's not just him,

534
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:50.760
it's us because if they're getting him
for thinking that there was something wrong

535
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:53.920
with you know, with the twenty
twenty election, look at polling says sixty

536
00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:59.639
two percent majority of Americans believed something
was wrong. Okay, And what further,

537
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:02.920
ascerbates, the problem is we got
these policies and all these things that

538
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:08.480
are injuring the American people on top
of it. So it makes us feel

539
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:15.280
all the more uncomfortable and question all
the more the legitimacy of this presidency under

540
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:22.719
Joe Biden. It should not be
that way. This is not the America

541
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:28.079
that we would want to pass on
to the next generations that our kids and

542
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.159
our grandkids will look back on and
thank gosh, Grandpa, what the heck

543
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:37.320
were you guys thinking? Well,
you know, these are challenging times,

544
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:40.719
no doubt, But I believe and
my hope is in the American people,

545
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:45.679
the cumulative intelligence of the American people. And I would say, at large,

546
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:50.440
don't let them shut you up,
don't let them censor you. I

547
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.880
mean, this whole idea. I
mean, even you know, to be

548
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:58.199
honest with you, With this particular
platform that we're on, you know,

549
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:01.159
I dance a raisers edge in some
cases, and some things that we can

550
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:06.199
talk about at the risk of being
censored. And I think it's a matter

551
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:08.320
of time, believe it or not, that even things that I'm sharing with

552
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.880
you right now could be censored.
Because if they can censor you for thinking

553
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:16.639
that something's wrong and you just think, I mean, that's where it all

554
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:21.719
begins. That's what makes us better. As a thought, an idea comes

555
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:23.800
about says wait a minute, there's
there's something here, Maybe we can do

556
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:30.079
it better. But if it happens
to be the wrong thought, those that

557
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:35.559
are in control they want to punish
you because how dare you have the wrong

558
00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:40.199
thought? The thought that doesn't comport
with their collective mindset. That's not the

559
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:46.280
American way. It dums us down, it makes us less intelligent. And

560
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:51.760
what we are about in this TV
show and even in the daily radio show

561
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:58.360
that I do that airs nine to
noon Eastern, it's about enlarging your capacity

562
00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:00.599
for knowledge. And what I'm sharing
with you, I say, please,

563
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:05.280
don't take at wholesale value. Don't
say well because Bill Martinez said it,

564
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:07.039
I need to believe. Really,
don't do that. I mean, you're

565
00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:12.800
smarter than that. Check it out
for yourself, own your own knowledge.

566
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:16.000
Okay, even what Kevin shared with
you, be challenged by that. Check

567
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:22.079
it out to see. Okay,
is this credible? Is it something that

568
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:27.679
needs to be discussed, whether we're
talking about the southern border, what's happening

569
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.800
in human trafficking. I mean here
it is this country that's been battling against

570
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:36.039
slavery all these years, we're creating
a new form of slavery. I mean,

571
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:39.639
this is this is unbelievable to me. I don't know you, I

572
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:43.840
don't know about you, but this, Joe just blows me away. But

573
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:49.199
this is why, again, the
hope of America is its people. Three

574
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:51.679
hundred and forty million people, for
the most part. And now I get

575
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:53.719
it. There's some people who are
donkeys out there that want to tell you

576
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:58.159
the grass is blue. Okay,
fine, leave them alone, let them

577
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:01.599
pretend, let them live in their
bluegrass world. That's okay. But for

578
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:05.840
the rest of us, we you
know, we have a country to say,

579
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.559
we have a country to turn over
to the next generation. Hopefully that's

580
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:13.840
better than the way we found it. And yes we're off track, but

581
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:16.559
I haven't lost hope. I really
believe that we can write the ship here.

582
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:21.320
But we need to come together,
not under a political party, because

583
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:24.920
if you're hearing, you know,
a Republican call or a Democratic call,

584
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:31.079
and it's not that at all.
It's about America. It's about the red,

585
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:35.119
white, and blue, it's about
our flag. It's what unite as

586
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:39.119
those first principles that we all agree
on. That's what we need to come

587
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:42.880
together. That's why I was talking, you know, to Kevin about is

588
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.360
that, you know, even from
a standpoint of the political party, they

589
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:50.400
need to unite. They need to
be singing from the same choir book as

590
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:53.800
we used to say in church,
right the same verse. That's that's what

591
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:58.800
they need to do. I understand
everybody has their their own opinion, they

592
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:04.960
have their constituency to support, but
there should be a basket of key principles,

593
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:09.119
core principles that they must adhere to. That those talking points need to

594
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:14.480
be consistent, and if it is, then the American people will begin to

595
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.639
realize, hey, they're serious about
it, and the message will get through

596
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:22.599
because the fact of the matter is
is the counter measures and message from the

597
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:28.639
mainstream media and social media is being
poured out there. And what are the

598
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.480
people to believe, you know,
I mean, are you supposed to believe

599
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.079
in bigenomics and think, oh,
it's wonderful and it's working. Really when

600
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:42.760
they know that, you know,
even though Biden may call it their lying

601
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:46.400
eyes, their eyes are telling them
the truth. It's more expensive when they

602
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:51.079
go to shop for everyday groceries or
you know, go and put fuel in

603
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:55.960
their gas tanks. You know,
this is sadly the America that we live

604
00:46:55.960 --> 00:47:01.199
in today. So we have a
choice in much the same way that Germany

605
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:07.559
had a choice in the early days
of you know of Adolph Hitler and what

606
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:12.760
the Nazis did to that country.
I mean amazing when you think back,

607
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.360
I mean, here it is Germany
was very religious. They were a religious

608
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:22.239
country and they were taken over by
ten percent. Ten percent was all it

609
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.920
did, and it took over that
country. It's amazing. So don't think

610
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:30.920
it can't happen here. Back we're
seeing, you know, we're seeing the

611
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.719
tentacles. We're seeing what's happening in
this country right now. It's not a

612
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.440
lie, ladies and gentlemen. You
need to see it for what it is.

613
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:40.599
You know, the pressures, like
we were talking with Kevin Kylie,

614
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:45.199
the pressures of socialism. Even though
President Trump said socialism will never come to

615
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:50.239
America, we'll guess what. It
has already been here and it's well entrenched

616
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:58.639
and you know, discounters everything.
The frame markets encounters the original principles.

617
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:01.920
I say, the founding princes,
those first principles that we must return to.

618
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:07.320
It counters that uh. And this
is where the war is lais,

619
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:14.320
gentlemen. But again, my faith
is in the cumulative intelligence and desire of

620
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:19.320
the American people to want the right
thing for themselves and for their family and

621
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:25.920
this country. But it starts one
person at a time, one person at

622
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:30.840
a time, to decide no,
it doesn't have to be this way.

623
00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:36.920
We're seeing it for what it is. We're seeing how these policies are injurious,

624
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.320
how giving up our energy and dependence, how costly has that been.

625
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:45.239
That opened the door to all this
inflation. It opened the door to you

626
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:53.000
know, these these the desperate and
lies that we're purported and we're poured out

627
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:57.320
on the American people. And the
bottom line, if the truth being known,

628
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.679
one of the reasons why they ravaged
our treasury is because there were political

629
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:04.880
debts that were owed. That's what
happened. I mean, think about it.

630
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:08.119
You know, common sense will tell
you when Hillary Clinton lost. See,

631
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:13.519
they had big donors, they had
big plans, everything was all set

632
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:16.920
to happen with Hillary Clinton as the
president of the United States, and Donald

633
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:21.599
Trump came in. Well, guess
what, all those people that funded her

634
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:24.000
campaign are saying, Hey, you
better pay up, you owe us.

635
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:30.519
So all that's happened since Joe Biden
took office, a big part of that

636
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:36.559
was to pay back all these people, all these donors that supported the Democratic

637
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:40.159
cause all these years. That's the
reality. And of course the other reality

638
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:44.400
is what we know and what we
experience with our wallets and our eyes every

639
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:46.639
day. Your eyes are not lying
to you you're seeing the truth, the

640
00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:52.119
ugly and scary truth that's having an
effect on our kids, whether it's at

641
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:58.760
school and open border, our national
security compromised on so many levels. Sadly,

642
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:01.039
this is the America that we live
in, and that's the whole truth.

643
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:05.920
I want to thank our guests,
Kevin Kylie, the US Congressman from

644
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:08.519
the third District of California, being
with us, and I want to thank

645
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.559
you for sharing a part of your
day with us to be a part of

646
00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:15.960
this Mighty Martinis movement to return to
God, because I believe that's what this

647
00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:20.639
country needs to do if we're going
to right the ship and truly get this

648
00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:23.119
country back on track. May God
bless you and keep you, and may

649
00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:28.800
his face shine upon you, and
maybe he'd be gracious unto you and give

650
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:42.320
you peace. Thank you so much
for being with us. Have a great day.
