Thank you.
Thank you very
much.
Excuse me, I know it used to
be a church, but we're acting like
it's a church.
There are two seats up front.
So there's three over here, and I
count to be ten up here.
So if you'd like to sit, and you're
standing, please come on up,
and you'll be a little more
comfortable.
I want to start out just a picture,
in case he has the wrong chair.
Is it here, or here?
Okay, he's not.
So, we do have a sheriff army that
shows up, but look,
the 101 of your job as a
member of Congress is really two
things.
Taking the views of the people of
your district, so people from
the cross area, Russia, Wisconsin,
taking that to Washington, and
then the Harvard part, sometimes
explaining Washington back home.
But you can only do that
by doing this, having town halls.
Open public town
halls where you can have a
conversation with your constituents.
And not doing that, even telephone
town halls, even virtual town
halls are not
the same.
We did some during COVID because we
had to, but I'll be
honest, you can send a question up
that says, will you
promise to never cut Medicaid?
And the question they may read is,
Why is your beard true so nicely?
Because you don't see the question,
only they knew on their end.
So it's not a real town
hall.
This is a real time hall.
So thank you so much for being here.
Second, I have to ask this question,
because your congressman said the
reason he doesn't do public town
halls is because people
are busted by George Soros.
Who here got a ride from George
Soras?
Does anyone?
No, you wouldn't pretend that you
don' Anyone that arrived from George
Soros here?
Really, anyone?
No one got busted in by George?
Okay.
Anyone work for George Soro?
Okay.
So, in case Derek asks
where he shows up, we will let him
know that no one came
on behalf of George Soroz.
This is just real people from
different parts of the district.
So, want to yell out where you're
from in a few minutes so we get an
idea what to share?
We're in Alaska.
We're the first.
Okay, this was a good idea, wasn't
it?
But I think it's suffice it
to say you're from all over Western
Wisconsin, right?
How many of you, Jared, is your
member of Congress?
Make some noise.
So, got all that
out of the way. I think that's
important.
I want to start just by talking
about five subjects that come up
every time I do a town hall.
We did one last week in my district
in Monroe, Wisconsin, found in
Greene County. It's about 10,000
people in Monroe.
Traditionally, I'll hear about 75
people at a time off.
This year, we had 260
people show up.
This is wrong.
We'll see you in a couple days.
So, people just want to be
heard. That's why the
election in April,
the real news was not who
won, or the fact they won by
10 points in a purple state.
The real news, was the turnout.
Because I talked to a Republican
colleague of mine from Wisconsin,
who said that Trump had a pollster
come in, and they showed them
down 5 to 6 points, and I know we
had heard that we were up
5 points, often, leading to
the election. But,
if we got to the level of
turnout that we had two years ago,
and the quarter flicks with Janet
Rosales ran, and
because that was flipping for such a
huge turnout, if we could only get
to that, we could win
by about the 10 points.
Now, here's what happened.
More people turned out than
turned out two years go for Janet
Rosale.
Thank you.
What we hear is, you're
pissed.
You're concerned.
You are scared.
There's a lot of those emotions.
And you know what? I share all those
emotions as I'm looking at
what's happening.
And I think that's the real story
that didn't get recorded.
Because people just want to be
heard. And that's why you have to do
town halls.
So what I want to do
is, without a lot questions from
you, there are five areas that come
up a bunch. And I'm just going to
front load those if that's alright,
it just makes a little more sense,
this is generally how we do the
count off.
And then, also, I think
we have a special polling
gas in a little bit.
So I'm going to take my phone out,
not to be rude, but to make sure I'm
on time. So let me start with the
first issue, and this is the
biggest issue, is the
issue of the tax cuts for the
wealthiest in this country.
They are flooding the zone with lots
of stuff, right?
Lots of all the things that we're
all trying to deal with with your
own attack.
But their whole prayer is
the tax cuts for the wealthiest.
They want to extend the tax
cut that they did last time for the
wealthy for another 10 years.
And if they do that,
we were told just the exact same
tax cuts, 83%
of the money would go to the top 1%
at the end of this next 10 year
period.
But unfortunately, it's even worse
than that, because the bill that
just got passed that the Senate sent
over to kind of reconcile how they
were moving forward changed
a few things.
So it's not just $4.5 trillion
that we heard over and over is
what they're trying to extend again.
But the Joint Committee on Taxation
looked at what the cost of those tax
breaks are now, and it's now
$5.5 trillions.
When you have a trillion,
it's not a small amount of money,
right? So now we're at five and a
half trillion.
Also, if they slipped in there from
the Senate side, even though the
cuts were only at two percent,
what the House Republicans and Derek
Pandorgan voted for, he
voted for a trillion and a halve of
cuts to be targeted at committees,
and I'll come to that in a second.
But they have
another trillion and half for other
tax cuts as well.
So we're up to potentially $7
trillion of tax
cuts that largely are
stealing money from things that not
even the middle class and those
aspiring to be in the middle-class
that are going to the wealthiest.
So that's what we're
fighting, and that is their holy
grail, is to get that done.
And they want you to think about
Greenland, all of you can think
about greenland, and they want to
you to wonder if academy's gonna
become the 51st state.
They want you be distracted, But
what they really want is what's in
your pocket.
They want your money and they want
to give it to Elon Musk and Donald
Trump and Jeff Bezos and Marcus
Underwood, alright?
So, let me tell you where that's
coming from and then we're going to
wait for the special guest and I'll
come back.
But... The original
bill that Derek Bailey reported for
said you had to cut a minimum
of $1.5 trillion and they
gave targets to communities who come
up with that that have to come back
for votes by Congress.
The target was $880
billion from the
Energy and Commerce Committees
jurisdiction.
Now you've probably heard Derek and
other people tell you that nowhere
in the bill does it say they're
cutting Medicaid.
Well, that's like a fourth
graders argument.
Let me tell you the rest of the
story. That $880
billion cut for
energy and commerce, their
jurisdiction is
Medicaid, Medicare,
and everything else in their
jurisdiction adds up to $581
billion.
So on its face, they've never
said they're going to cut every
single thing under their
jurisdiction. That means $299
billion minimum has to come
from Medicaid or Medicare.
So, on its face, it's
a lot, right, but they're saying
that living in Medicaid is health
insurance and long-term care.
It's one out of three kids in
Wisconsin gets their health
insurance from Medicaid.
It's 45% of adults
with disabilities living in it who
have Medicaid hits.
So, it is health care and long term
care that they want to come so that
a few folks can get a really big tax
break.
Second, they want to cut $230
billion from the Committee of
Agriculture's jurisdiction.
Now, that could be real broadband,
it could be some support that goes
to farmers, but most likely
the biggest pool of money is
the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, or the SNAP
program, that's food assistance.
That's $6.20
a day in food assistance,
the number one program keeping kids
out of poverty in the country.
That 620 is not a lot of money.
My freshman term, I
did a challenge, which I
could tell I was a freshman, but I
made it the smartest part of the
challenge. Some people did one day
of living on staff, some of us
did one week, I chose the one
week. And that was a not-as-smart
opportunity. So it was $31.50
at that point for a week's worth of
support.
I bought ramen noodles,
peanut butter, and in general my
office told me I was really
important.
Right?
Because it's not a lot, and if you
take away that, you're really taking
food from the mouths of children in
order to fund the tax cut.
The third area, there's four areas
and then we've got our special
guest, the third area was
$330 billion from
education.
That's 45% of the federal spending
on education.
It could mean things for higher
education like health grants.
I got Pell Grades.
I grew up with a more middle class
family. That's how I was able to go
to college.
But it's very, very likely going to
affect Pell grades.
But K-12...
The A funding is special.
That funding, Title I, is for
lowering the interest rates, which
you have all over rural parts of
Western Wisconsin.
So if
you do that, you either are going
to cut teachers, have bigger class
sizes, or you're going to have to
raise that money at the local level.
So you're going to increase your
local taxes and fewer services
to pay for.
And the fourth area is the subsidies
for the Affordable Care Act.
If you take away the subsidies, it's
not the Affordable care Act.
So at this point, we're going to
break because we do have a guest
that you're not going to see but
you're going to hear.
So is everybody ready for the
introduction, Sean?
Are we ready?
Not quite there yet.
Okay. Now, let me go into the second
area, uh, that is
Doge.
Oh, he's here.
Okay, all right.
We have a special guest, someone who
I had the fortune, ability
to join in Kenosha a
number of weeks ago.
And other members of
Congress, and other leaders, and
he is doing the
job of so many to help
expose what happened this morning.
Thank you very much.
Can you guys hear me?
Yes!
Take an ear and come in.
Well, listen, let me say, Congress
is in want of a handoff.
I have done not only an outstanding
job, but was constantly one of the
greatest members of the
U.S. Congress and other working
people all over the country.
Let me thank those people
who organized this event.
It's not like you guys made a
turn out of that.
And hopefully let me thank everybody
for coming out.
Oh, I don't have to tell anybody,
I think.
That we are living in
an unprecedented moment
in the life history of
this country.
Donald Trump is turning our
government over to the power of
the wealthiest people in America.
He is moving up rapidly towards
an authoritarian form
of society.
His government is
becoming more and more cut-to-crack,
of making individuals making money
out of it.
What goes on in his government,
and one of the things I'm going to
be talking about tonight,
is the fact that
at the time of taxes,
unprecedented income and wealth
inequality
Thanks for watching!
I've got to apologize for the
public interest, but the
billionaires here,
video of us, and other very,
very wealthy people, because
we need huge
tax breaks.
I mean, one of the things about
the tax break,
at a time when our healthcare system
is broken,
where 85 million people are
uninsured or uninsure from there,
I find that the pollution and the
way that they tax break the
billionaires is cut
in many ways by
800 billion and
80 billion dollars
I've had to create a program
of a hungry kid,
a housing program at
a time when you say
something is coming,
a huge housing
crisis.
Oh,
you have a congressman or
a president, and most of you should
have to make a choice.
And that choice has to do with
increasing affiliation goals
that come down the line.
And he uses the sense
that the working family won't
have people of different interests
who get to be needed out there,
who get these nutrition programs.
Whose parents need to gain access
to nursing homes, which is
what Medicaid is specifically
funding, or whether the
Billionaire Fund needs a time to be
definitely submitted to funding,
has to do with people being
spolganized and the grass
roots left.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
If you say it works for you, you
work for a living, you're not
supposed to ask, you have no money,
you are powerless.
We don't have the money, we don't
the power, we only do what we do, we
own this living system.
And what I would like to offer you
right now is to turn that on its
head.
And say, you know what, we are the
99% of your country.
There are a lot more of us
than there are of you.
We have serious needs
to this country.
You guys are not going to need any
more tax payers.
And the way to be a corrupt
political system is
by doing exactly what you are doing.
And I have serious discussions
about serious needs with
great leaders, right-wing
conservatives, Okanagan, and others.
And you mobilize our
people to understand
what they want, not want them to
head out to huge social media
in a effective way.
When people understand the civil
law, they are not going to be
supported by tax-free people in
there and cut to the program that
we're going to meet with them in the
end.
So, once again, let me thank
our law school, we thank
all of the organizers for
this event, and that is to
conclude I think
that there has just
been one day in
the monitoring of the country
than the moment we are living
in right now.
Although I believe absolutely
in Washington that when
we stand together,
when we don't let confidence spread
to divide us up by
where we were born, whether it was
in our political orientation
or our religion or left, When
we stand together, there is nothing
we cannot accomplish.
We can defeat capitalism.
We can beat this.
We can still create things built.
We can create a government that
works for all of us, not just for a
few. So once again, everybody,
thanks so much for coming out.
Keep up the great work.
We're going to be getting back to
the consensus in the near future.
Take care.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
And one of the things that he's
talking about is
the fact that, it's about the
oligarchs, right?
That he bridges folks that,
unfortunately, are calling shots
that are unelected.
And one those people is Elon Musk.
Elon Musk has been making
the charge, I guess
you'd say, at Doge.
And Doge is a mess.
And this is the second subject I'm
talking about. So they said they
were going to cut trillion dollars
of waste, fraud, and abuse.
But, you must have no experience
in fellow government, nor do most of
the people that have brought in to
do this.
In fact, you know, he's got a bunch
of young people, and they've
downgraded that $1 trillion to
$150 billion they're going
to save. So they're already at 15%
of their original goal.
But, what they're doing is
chaotically harmful, taking
away services that we rely on.
They're firing people in a way
that makes no
sense. They completely
got rid of, essentially,
USAID, which provides assistance
around the world, which helps us
as we're trying to open up markets
and do things around the rural.
But, you know, firings of
probationary employees have affected
things like people who work at the
IRS, so that if you've got a
question you need it, you've gotten
someone you can talk to.
When you're trying make an
appointment at the VA hospital, a
bunch of those people that take the
phone calls aren't working there
anymore, so it's harder to get that
doctor's appointment.
They're fighting 7,000
people at Social Security.
So when you want to be able to call
and get, you know, an answer about
Social Security or your application
to folks that need it, you're not
going to be able to do that disease.
They fired 10,000
at the Department of Health and
Human Services, 25% of their
staff.
And then had to rehire 2,000
of them because they don't
know what they're doing.
Now that is waste,
fraud, and abuse, right?
And either it's scary, or it's
really bad.
But their duty is
the pride, because they're
just fires in the middle of the
night. That's what they're doing,
that's what we are doing.
You
So they fired all the people who
worked on nuclear weapons, not all,
but the people working on nuclear
weapons have had to be hired.
They fired the people that do Indian
flu research, bird flu, which
we just paid one price because of
that. Now they're the ones
that have to try to rehire people.
And it's just a chaotic thing.
When they first put out the first
savings they had, the top item
they said was an $8 million savings,
that later they realized they meant
$8,000,000.
That's a big difference.
And even then, That's two and a half
billion above the eight million that
are even spent?
Like, they, so it's
a real problem that Elon Musk has
the ability to turn on and off that
spigot of funding.
Now, I did something in response
to this, and I have to look it up
because I always forget the exact
wording of it.
I introduced a bill called the
Eliminate Looting of Our Nation
by Mitigating an Ethical
State Kleptocracy Act.
Thank you.
Which, if you think
about it, you're probably going to
miss out on the fact that this
provider got that locked in.
One of the signs of
corruption, and there are many in
this administration we're seeing, is
with you, I must have a disability,
he has federal contracts.
He was making $8 million
a day on federal contracts,
they were first on social security,
made $65 a day,
on social secure, $8 billion a day.
And I can't have a federal contract,
as a member of Congress.
Federal employees can't federal
contracts and anything they have
jurisdiction over.
Why couldn't he have allowed this
guy? So that bill would
say that either he can continue the
role he has at Dover,
but he
has to give up contracts.
He can't do that.
Or he can keep having contracts,
but you can't be the guy in charge
of moving money around right and
left, right?
Otherwise, it's corruption.
It's just so much corruption that
we're seeing in this administration.
The first thing I want to talk
about, and I'm sure it's going to be
a question, but again, I've been
doing a lot of top politics, that's
why these five are the ones that
come up the most, and why not
mention them up front, is social
security.
Nothing in the bill that's
currently moving forward to try to
steal the $20.5 to pay for the
tax cut is directly
affecting your social security,
it is saying you're firing 7,000
people, that's going make the
performance of social security work
less well. But here's
why you should care about social
security.
It's clearly got a target out of it.
First, Elon Musk has said
it's a potency, right?
Now, it's, first of all, it is
our damn money, right,
that we paid for it.
And I was really disappointed in
him, and I let him sit with me for a
second. The promise is,
you hold it until we need it, right?
But he's calling it a Ponzi scheme.
Then you've got the President,
and hope none of you actually did
this, because I kind of laid out for
90 minutes, but anyone watch the
State of the Union speech?
Anyway, he spent a lot,
like he, the president, spent a
lot of real estate in that speech
talking about social security.
And he was talking about the people
who are getting it, that should be
getting it that are 100 to 110 years
old. 110 to 120
years old, 120 to 130
years old 140 to 150,
and I think you get the idea.
He went all the way up to 360.
Here's the thing, we don't, we're
not, Social Security is
not for people who keep track of
life and death in this country,
right? That's down at the local
level where we keep track on this,
but it doesn't mean that if you're
still on there, you're getting a
Social Security check.
Two different Inspector General
reports have said, I suppose,
that he spent a lot of time lying
to the American people about it.
In fact, in 2015,
a hall was passed that said you
cannot give a check to
anyone over 115 years.
So again, what he spent all that
time on was a lot, so that's why
I think you should be concerned.
The next thing to think
about is the Secretary of
Commerce, Mr. Lettening,
who's a billionaire, by the way.
And there are a lot of billionaires.
One fact, that to take
home, there are more billionaires in
the Trump administration than
there are trans athletes in
the NC double bank.
13 billionaires.
But the fact that he was in
an interview, and they said with all
this disruption you're doing, what
if someone doesn't get their social
security check? And he said, well,
my mother-in-law is 94,
and if she didn't get her social
security check, she would just
assume there was a mistake and
she'll get it in the next month.
Only a fraudster would
call and complain that they didn't
their social security check.
40% of people live
solely on
Social Security and many,
many more is the primary source of
their income.
So the fact that all of that
is going on and then throw on
top of it the largest caucus on
the Republican side in Congress,
the Republican Study Committee,
has a stated goal of raising the
retirement age to 70, Means,
we gotta watch our social security
because, don't forget,
it's our damn
money, right?
Thank you.
We're going to talk about these
chairs.
And I have a position that's a
little bit finesse and I want to be
able to explain it because I think
it's important.
You can use targeted tariffs wisely,
alright?
If China is dumping cheap
steel in the United States,
we can protect the steel industry,
the workers, the ripple effect
industries by putting a tariff
on that cheap steel, right?
So if someone's playing unfairly,
you can use a targeted tariff
and be very smart.
Or, you can apply
tariffs to just about everything,
including countries that only have
penguins,
by throwing them around like monkey
throws their dome, and
then you don't have such an
effective tariff policies.
And that's exactly what we're seeing
right now.
I'd advise anyone to actually
tell me exactly today, right now,
where we're having tariffs.
Because some are off a bunch of
their own, but actually some
are going to stay with China, but
not the number one thing they said,
like it's impossible to keep up
with the chaos.
And the problem is when we do them
indiscriminately like we're doing,
it becomes, Trump's tariffs become a
tax on us.
Because countries do not pay
tariffs, we pay tariffs when
things come here, the cost of goods.
And if you saw, even American Navy
cars could see a $8,000
increase, they said due to the parts
that come from overseas.
So you have to have policy.
And the problem is, Dr. Trump put
out his formula for how he figured
out tariffs.
Oh my God, I mean, now I understand
why his doctor said he's
224 pounds, right?
This guy does not understand
numbers.
And that is what we're facing
with tariffs right now.
So it's a big concern.
We really do have to watch what's
happening.
Hopefully, you saw what's happened
to the stock market and everything
else because of this, but what we
need is industrial policy that
doesn't incentivize things to be
made here, But simply, changing the
tariffs right now, by the time
you've got a line up to make things
in certain areas, it could be years
down the road, right?
So you need industrial policy,
like Joe Biden had us doing with
renewables when he was president,
but you don't see that coming out of
Donald Trump. So that's the issue of
tariffs. The final subject
I was going to bring up, and we're
going to go right to the questions,
is the rule of law.
Uh, and...
This is going to get positive,
right, so I haven't been able to
share a whole lot of positive things
with you yet.
We're seeing a lot of the rule
of law challenge, right?
That's why there's so many lawsuits
that are happening. There's over
160, I think, now lawsuits,
whether it be on firing employees or
taking people out of the United
States or what DOJ is doing.
All the different areas have legal
challenges. And in particular,
the one that right now we're getting
the most calls on is
the situation of Mr. Garcia from
Maryland, who is
then sent to Australia.
The administration admitted it was
a mistake, but they won't
honor their mistake.
So the Supreme Court said you have
to facilitate this return because
there's due process in this country.
That's part of our rule of law we
have is due process.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.
So I don't know how to
help this defying it by saying,
well, they only said I got a
facility.
Alright, I understand that he's
just playing Donald Trump with all
of this, but at some point,
we could hit that constitutional
crisis of the court is saying I'm
not the attorney person, and he's
saying I am not going to.
It's that and the AP case I think
are the ones that are the farthest,
but this is the front I want to say
that's positive. Also,
the area that we're having the most
success right now is
in losses.
Through litigation, we have
had over 60 positive
adjudications on losses
on behalf of the American people
because the legal system is
working.
60-Plus adjudication came
from over 40 different judges.
It's not like one judge is just
working overtime doing this.
Over 40 judges, including judges
appointed by Donald Trump.
So I think a real positive
sign is that the rule of law
largely is working.
I have a podcast that,
if you ever get a chance, we started
it a couple months back.
It's called The Liberty and Justice
for Some.
And I interviewed Josh Hall.
I think last week we brought that
one out. And he told me on
behalf of the lawsuits that, by the
way, the Democratic Attorney General
is doing an amazing job of bringing
the lawsuits, and Josh is a part
of that. He's the one who said, by
they way, they are writing by
mostly every fourth order when it
comes up.
It's just there's a couple high
profile that he's kind of doing, and
because, you know, the way he does
everything, he talks about
everything through eight different
perspectives, so that everyone hears
what they want to hear or not.
The reality is, we're
having some success in that area, I
think that's really positive.
So let me stop talking
at this point.
I just want to cover those areas
because I guarantee they come up
every single town hall.
I'm sure they'll come up, and maybe
we'll talk a little more in depth
with the questions.
I asked the folks to stack them by
subject, so I spent the most time on
the biggest pile of questions.
And then I'll open it up at that
point if people have specific
questions in that area, right,
so we can wrap up the subject here.
And there's probably going to be
some overlap, but we'll do the best
we can, if that's all right.
So, let me...
And grab a piece of the big pile and
start with this one.
Do you still support or do
you know on the late in the ride
they have, what
do you suggest are the best ways to
take action in support of democracy?
I am very concerned for democracy,
what is being done and
can be done to stop
authoritarianism.
We know that Congress has the
power of the first.
Okay, there's a lot of different
subjects here, I guess.
You know, this lady's thoughts, let
me, what actions, authority,
of course, does the Supreme Court,
Congress, and federal courts have to
force judgements on?
Let's just start right there, okay?
I think I just did kind of talk
about that one, but we are winning
on that. By and large,
they're abiding by court orders,
but, you know, if you go back to
court and say, okay, well, what's
facilitating that's part of the
legal process, and they have a right
to do that, it may be
something I think they're a really
awful human being would do.
I don't know if they're bothering the
court that we're going to do that,
but that's the reality.
So of that, largely it's working.
Power of the first.
This is one of the biggest problems.
And if Jared were here,
I would say, Article One of the
Constitution, we'll see if he's read
it or not, says that
Congress has the power of the First.
And yet what we're watching is their
effective funding,
congressionally directed funding,
against the law, which are some of
the lawsuits that we're seeing.
So.
That is our prompt.
We need the Congress to stand up.
If only three Republican
members across the country
stand up, we can block them.
So our job is to
make sure that your member of
Congress knows where you stand on
any given issue, because if
they really would like to come back
to office after next fall,
they better listen to you before
next fall.
Thank you
very much.
So the fourth question about
democracy and authoritarianism,
and you know, I think this is where
I would say the two things that we
could do, and hopefully this answer
is that I understand, I don't,
but I keep trying on stuff, but
um...
The two things that we can do the
most right now, three,
litigation, communication,
and then the work that you're doing
by being here, by reaching out to a
member of Congress on a regular
basis, and making sure that you are
heard.
Litigation explains there are groups
that you Google Trump litigation
tracker, there are trackers that
we're getting the names of, that
have all the different lawsuits.
So who's doing the lawsuits?
Support the groups doing the losses,
right? Because that is something
that we're having the greatest
victories on, and that's
really important.
Communication, look, it's not
misinformation that's out there, it
is disinformation that's
There are times when we lie about
those things. Thank you.
Thank you.
We really need to use our
social media and our contacts
with folks to put out the right
information. So when they say
something that's blatantly false,
we've got to take that out and put
that information out there.
So when I say I didn't vote to
cut Medicaid, you say
you said the Energy
and Commerce Committee has to cut
$880 billion and the
entire budget that isn't
Medicaid or Medicare is $581
billion, so you're lying,
right? You are coming, you voted
to cut Medicaid by
that vote, and that's how we
make sure we get the information out
of it.
They can write the act, now there's
two of them that we could possibly
get mixed up with two of the switch,
but again, both had due process
problems.
Look, I understand that insurgents
don't think due process, they're
buying with what's happening right
now with shipping used to Garcia and
Del Salvador, but we have to have
due process.
And one of the bills
that people like to refer to about
throwing people out of the country
is that they say, well, you want to
get a bill to throw criminals out
of a country. Now, first of all, you
can do that, right?
You don't need additional laws.
But what that bill said is if you're
even accused of a crime,
you could be thrown out of country.
There's due due process for people
who've been thrown out other
country. And I actually have to put
it back. It's something that no
politician really likes that much
Because if you don't say exactly the
right word, they might say you said
something wrong.
An example I hate, but I got a true
one, so I'm glad to share this one.
But it was, if you had six
teenagers going to a corner
convenience store, and they thought
one of the kids stole a candy bar,
so they called the police.
If one of kids who did absolutely
nothing was an after recipient,
they've been here since they were
one month old, they could be kicked
out of the country.
They may not speak the language of
the countries they're going to, they
may know nothing about it, but under
those bills, that was enough.
I don't vote for crack.
I don' vote for that kind of stuff.
I support due process because
that's where I'm coming from.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
That was kind of a mixed pile,
but I think if I get a subject area,
we'll open it up a mix.
There's probably a whole lot of it.
Trent's here, we're opening it up.
So, I just wanted to make sure you
know.
What can be done to eliminate or
make illegal farm factories, capos,
and support family farmers instead?
Trump's policies are supposed to
kill Americans, cutting money
from food, health care, and then
that goes to the question of
self-nutrition and other things.
What can dealt with most of you
observing Medicaid?
Medicaid, what is this law on the
tax cuts?
I work in public health, see the
cuts. The HHS staff,
especially CDC staff, we can have on
in our field.
I'm concerned, sorry, very
broad question and comment.
I'm certain we're getting so far
down the fashion path.
I think it's more to do something
than to band together and stand
up to them. But we'll talk about,
let me talk about that a little bit.
So this is a good one where I
had two different Republicans from
the state delegation, not your
number of Congress, but
one who came up to me and
said, And I said, you're going to do
something about them just kind of
capturing them, giving tuffs,
and whisking them away like that.
And I say, oh yeah, we're doing
something, but you can
too, right?
And they're afraid to.
And then another member, a judge,
said, we don't even know what
they're doing. They don't tell us
anything.
I have some intellectual curiosity
about what's going on, but here's
the reality.
Right now,
there are at least four senators,
according to Mark Warner, Senator
Warner, who...
Who would have voted against some
of the nominees,
some of awful nominees that came
through as cabinet secretaries, but
the reason they didn't privately,
they told him, was because it wasn't
just that they were getting death
threats, because I signed up for
this, I shouldn't kill them, but I
do right tomorrow, I knew what
I would do, but their family members
were getting death threats and
they just couldn't do it.
So, look, profile is
encouraged, you may not have a lot
of chapters added in this session, I
understand that, but that's the
reality that many of them are afraid
of. But you know what?
I'm okay as long as they
speak out in their private caucus,
and they find three people to say, I
can't vote for these Medicaid cuts,
and I can vote for the cuts to food
assistance, and I can't go for the
cut to education, then we
beat them on that and it's worth it.
So let's just, you know, remember
that.
On agriculture, I think, let me see
if there's any good people, I'll try
to come back to that. Given the
economy is better off with
$1,000 billion companies
and $1 trillion into my company,
what we encourage is reverse the
consolidation.
Okay that's can i trust um
let me try to come back to something
is there a little bar in what we're
seeing right now if i can't hurt
you
Yeah, big picture right, yeah, let
me, I'd like to make a picture
in general, okay, at the end,
just because I want to focus on the
stuff we're seeing from the
administration, um, primarily.
Do you know anything about future
cuts to a rear car?
So, that's one
of the problems, is we don't know
how they're doing cuts, and again,
that should be Congress's,
I serve on the Appropriations
Committee, this is what I'm supposed
to do every day, And unfortunately,
we don't know what they're going to
do because Congress is standing up
for Article 1 constitutional
authority. As long as that happens,
it's a real problem.
So we haven't seen what
the appropriation process is going
to look like yet this year.
They froze a bunch of funds up
front of them with 2600 lines,
things like Head Start mothers, and
then all of a sudden they abruptly
restarted them.
But it took, for some cases,
ten days for people to get their
money again. And Head Start schools
tried to get loans to survive
during this period of time.
So it's really chaotic when it comes
to the cuts, because they're not
following the law.
And unfortunately, they have had to
restore funding in many cases
because of court cases.
But this is one of the areas that
we need Congress to stand up and do
a whole lot of work.
There's a question about I.E.
And that's supporting people through
energy assistance,
with cuts in Social Security and
First Personnel offices.
Will there be cuts in services, at
least delays?
Yes, that was the 7,000
employees that are being cut in
Social security.
I think we're going to feel that.
Medicaid cuts?
94-Year-old mother,
memory care, will need Medicaid
soon.
My mom lived in
Kenosha right until she was 91.
And finally, after going to assisted
living, she had to go to nursing
home. She came to our county nursing
home, which is a really great home,
a vegetarian in Morona, Wisconsin,
in County Merlin.
And she lived there for the other
two years and then passed through
COVID.
But, you know, Medicaid is how she
got by. I grew up in a lower middle
class family.
You know, she only lived through
resources.
And I have a quarter of Congress
showed that she got $1,100
in law from Social Security.
And I didn't realize I couldn't do
it. When I first got to Congress,
I had a board and a pen that
wrote down all her expenses that
were more than that $1 100 a
month. And yet that's what she
lived off. Which had an 1899 power
full of scratches and dents at the
time, everything else.
I didn't realize you can't do that
on the floor, so I got my hands
wild. But, um,
that's the reality for so
many seniors who
might not be on Medicaid.
That's the realty for people who
are adults with a disability,
right, who live independently, that
they have to have that additional
support of a caregiver on them.
And that support is coming from
Medicaid. The one out of three kids
in the state that
get the health insurance, that
comes directly from Medicaid.
So Elizabeth Warren spoke to
a group of us, and she does a
great job of making the complex
simple. And I love how she does
that. And she's like, quit just
saying Medicaid.
You've got to say it's healthcare
along with care, because that's what
Medicaid is, and that's where it's
at risk. How can
a DBO swear that he never ever
voted to cut Medicare, Medicaid,
Social Security, and SNAP after
voting as he has?
Well, he's lying.
That's a simple answer, okay?
Thank you.
He's lied on stamp because
he's voted for the house
farm bill that they
never could get done over almost two
years now, a year and a half.
But that had a cut to stamp.
He came into my office
when he got elected and said that I
would never vote to cut stamp
because I grew up on
stamp at the time, right at the end
of it.
And yet he has done that over
and over. They had these two
instances that I know of.
So, I know he recently met
with folks from Opportunity
Wisconsin and said he won't cut
Medicaid, Medicare,
Social Security, and
STEM, but he has in
the past.
So, hold him accountable,
right? That's what we need to do.
I'm going to keep that one in the
last category.
There's a few in there, let's see.
Considering all the executive orders
and actions following us, what are
some of the concerns specific to
Wisconsin?
We should be alert to, as the CFO
of a small rural hospital,
I was asked to turn them around.
Not once did I go and fire
people.
You need to know who the final root
cause was.
That's exactly what we're not
doing right now.
I think for Wisconsin, the biggest
issues really are probably the same
issues across the country.
It's this tax cut for the
well-beingists, right?
They're gonna find up to $7
trillion, and they're gonna have
to do it by cutting programs that
benefit the middle class versus
quite a few people in the
middle-class.
I also think, by the way, some of
that tariff revenue, Donald Trump
does believe in tariffs, but
I also believe in a lot of the
tariff money is funny
money, because he wants it
to last, and at the end of the day,
it doesn't materialize, because it
won't, because countries don't pay
tariffs. We do,
what happens is it goes on the dept.
So Donald Trump has put more on the
debt than any president in history
and the most recent stat
we got, right now we have about $36
trillion in debt is that if
the bill has passed just by the
House and the Senate that's setting
up these cuts, if it passes as
they recommend it it would
bring our national debt by
2035 from $36
trillions to $50 trillion.
So, don't let
any Republican or Chilean or
fiscally conservative of your age is
the answer.
Alright, um... All right.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so
much.
The Democrats have experienced
severe uncertainty as tariffs
and threats their
plundered economy of recession and
their farms in the balance.
One of the best true Democrats, not
only quite, but way back,
to support rural family farms.
This seems a good time to
de-emphasize traditional party
deficits and appeal to conservatives
who are on great trouble to speak to
this possibility. Okay.
So, um,
I'm not sure if your group is quite
the way out of this thinking, but
let me try to take on the
agriculture one, because there's
a lot of agriculture in Wisconsin,
and there's a lot agriculture
specifically in the third
congressional district.
Our number one trading partner for
agriculture in Wisconsin is
Canada.
Our number two partner is Mexico,
our number three is China.
The first three tariffs that came
out were Canada, Mexico,
and China. So, if you're a
crime that is enough of
a size that you're sending bodies
overseas, you're
absolutely affected by these
terrorists. We're hearing from all
the groups that they're afraid what
that means, and then the terrorists
that come back, and where you go
from there.
But if you are a small farmer, and
I was at the Wisconsin Farmers Union
event probably six weeks or so
ago in Chippewa Falls, And
we had 75 farmers.
They invited Derek, myself,
and Tom Tiffany, as well as all the
Democratic and Republican state
legislators from the area.
The only people who showed up were
me from the Congressional delegation
and the Democratic state legislators
from the areas. No Republicans came
at all. They were in no show.
But for an hour and a half we
listened to concerns.
This is what John said.
No farmers had their phones frozen.
We had at least eight people raise
their hand and start to tell us
about their phones. That have been
frozen that they can't get.
But when it comes to generous, this
one farmer stood up and
he has a small CSA.
So, you know, selling vegetables and
dairy to a hundred families and
his dairy is outside elsewhere.
And he said that the
milk bottles that he sells his milk
in, the raw product comes from
the United States that goes
to Canada.
They're made in Canada and the
bottles come back to the United
State. So they're getting in
tariffs, going to Canada because
the tariffs are good.
They're getting tariffs on the way
back. And the price of milk bottles
is going to double for what he's
currently doing. So he's impacted
by the tariffs.
By the way, also at this event,
at the very end of listening to
farmers for 90 minutes, talk about
all the ways they're impacted.
This was relative, actually maybe a
few weeks ago, it was relatively
early on in the administration.
The head of the farmers union stood
up and said, hey, many of you know,
and I'm not going to say the
person's name, who worked
with many folks
on, I'm going to use an agronomist
on issues that were federal
related to
their farmers.
I'm trying to be careful how I say
this but see why in a second.
They wanted everyone to know that
the week prior he went home
from work and he found
out that he had lost his job because
of Elon Musk and he
took his life back.
These are the
real-life impacts of
not having plans and
just doing this stuff and not
knowing what you're doing.
Agriculture is really impacted
in a very big way, and on
top of it, the fact that that farm
mill, the way the House passed it,
the way Garrett Van Orton voted for
it, it, because
so many Republicans come from the
South, it has all kinds of
incentives for peanut farmers and
cotton farmers and all these
southern crops.
We don't have peanuts and cotton.
We have dairy and other products
that did not get treated as well,
and yet he voted for them.
So, there's a lot
of harm received right now
out of this Republican caucus and
out of this administration and
across the park.
I may get pretty good through these,
so we will open it up in just a
second, but if this helps,
it's just to define these four
methods of question.
What are the plans to work on
immigration and not have to work
our way out of the problem?
Please stop illegal deportations,
especially to Ulaan,
and tell people about many things
with Mark and Tom Harkin.
I'm trying to get a watch party here
at Dell in La Crosse.
It's a radio station.
It's on, I know, Progressive Radio,
it was on the Radio Station's Tom
Harken show. I do that every other
week for an hour or
two questions.
So people call up and have been
doing this for a while.
So you get a chance to listen to
that. And what is Congress doing
about the significant situation?
Anything that Congress can do to
remove HexF?
Congress must come together to
protect our social security.
Okay,
so immigration and then
immigration.
You know, this is an issue that I
think, while it doesn't directly
affect the tax cuts that
I think it is, again, the holy grail
for them, this works at a
core constituency of the
model movement, right?
And that's why Donald Trump is going
to keep doing what he's
doing where he can.
The problem is, remember
what that is exactly right, we can't
just, you know, deport people out
and fix the problem.
We have had broken laws for decades.
The Congress has not
And because of it, when I
first got to Congress back in 2013,
there was a bill that came out of
the Senate that said it was 69 by
partisan votes.
It wasn't perfect, but it had extra
protections in the border.
It had a halfway citizenship for
aspiring Americans.
It was actually moving to address
it, and then the House Republicans
never put it on the floor ever
again.
Since then, it became very
politicized, certainly the Trump
administration, and it's a lot more
difficult. But what's happening
right now, again, is just by
our rule of law, but we are
our core as a country if we're not
going to respect due process and
respect people along the So
this is one where...
I think you're going to find very
few Republicans to speak up, but
more should, given how many people
work in agriculture, right,
who are in this area.
And the fact that we're just not
seeing enough is a real problem.
Single gate, I'll tell you, P-97
is what they just said, right?
This is what happens when you
don't ask for people's credentials,
you ask for video of them on TV,
when you decide to do a point, and
that's what he did. I'm going to
present you a video of a volunteer
camp pointy so you
can see what they look like on TV.
In two obvious only ways, and the
fact that the single aid Secretary
had said was told not to use that
channel by staff.
He did, and then he still did again,
during that same period of time,
is enough that he shouldn't be there
in English. But the problem is,
and this is an answer usually that
happens to a lot of questions and
elections that have consequences, we
do not have the votes in the
House and the Senate, unless
Republicans come and join us.
Three in the House, we've got the
tightest margin, even though it's
three in Senate, that's different,
right? Because if we have 100, we
have 435.
But if we can't get those three
votes, not much we can do.
There's one process that
you can try to use in the
house, but I don't know what the
process exactly is, if they have one
in the Senate, called a discharge
petition, where if you get 218
people to sign a discharge petition,
essentially if you want us to vote
on a bill.
In practice, in theory,
it's supposed to mean they have to
put it on the floor, but in reality,
we just have to. We had ten
Republicans join all
the Democrats to say that
if there's a member of
Congress who gives birth, that they
should be able to vote in a proxy to
take care of their kid.
And we had enough signatures to do
it, and they still followed a way to
convince that member to withdraw, to
give something along the way to
figure this out, and you still can't
have it happen. So, a big part
of the consequence we have is we
have to be able
to have our fellow candidates pass
over, and right now,
that's been pretty hard to do.
Which is why someone like Eric
VanOrden, who represents the
swing district, should understand
it swings open, and
it also swings closed.
And every two years, the district
has had to fight.
I'm concerned about everything
that's happening about my expertise
in the environment.
What can we do to ensure
environmental improvement as we've
heard? I'm sorry, the environmental
improvement that has occurred over
the last couple of questions continues.
Yeah, that's part of the problem.
Part of the funding they stopped was
the Inflation Reduction Act.
There's a lot of investment in
renewables, even some
of the infrastructure dollars.
And as they're stopping these
dollars, they're stoping the
programs.
In fact, that is one of the areas
where farmers are getting cuts.
Part of that money was to help them
with conservation practices.
They had signed contracts
that now got unhonored
and they now got their funds and
they might have already took out a
loan based on that signed
contract and now they're going to
face the consequences of that.
So again, there are a lot of
lawsuits out there, some are
in this area.
This one has got four
questions. So I'm trying to decide
how to handle a loan.
It's mainly about, I think,
stock, the bond market,
how many people are
involved, here are involved in the
stock or bond market.
How many see major losses.
Oh, and they're actually really
proud.
Do it one at a time!
Okay, how many people here have
retired?
Alright,
how many people here are involved
in this, are invested
in this
stock or bond market?
How many have seen
major losses in their retirement?
What is Congress doing to reclaim
its power under Article 1, Section
8, or chair of policy?
That is another area where
Congress isn't standing
up for our constitutional rights.
And it's, again, elections have
consequences.
We have to pick up three
seats to be able to do more on
that front.
And I'm going to have to be
entirely... So this is the last
file, and then I'm gonna put it up.
But let me...
This is the last file that I'm going to put up, but let me just fill this
back in.
Do you need to make more noise on
this one? I'm sorry?
Can't you just roll over?
Do you want to make MORE noise on
that one?
Yeah, I can tell you people are
making noise. Bernie Sanders going
around the country getting 30,000
people a pop to come and listen to
him, right? We've got Chris Murphy
and Maxwell Frost doing the same
thing. I've done, I think, four town
hallstallas in the third
congressional district.
By the way, I represented the second
congressional district
Thank you.
I think we have about 30
members now going into other
districts like I'm doing.
And by the way, I'm going to be back
again.
And again.
Thank you very much.
But let me just do some,
when will the Democratic Congressmen
start yelling?
I think that was exactly what we
were just asking.
And, I'll tell you, this is one of
my, part of these bumper stickers
once from my campaign, and I really
believe it, if the people lead,
eventually the leaders will follow.
You're leading right now, trust
me. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I think we've seen more numbers of
Congress doing things because of it.
So, thank you for what you're doing.
It really does matter. Every week, I
get, and I think every member of
Congress says this, and I this is
true of our state legislature as
well, a report for how many calls,
how many emails, and it used to
be I got the top five, but I asked
how I'd get the top ten.
I know what's coming in.
And even if someone you know is
always going to disagree with you,
I'll love Ron Johnson,
or someone you think is going to
always agree with you.
It's still important to contact
them, because it's a number, and
they can see the intensity
of what people believe.
There's five calls that when people
are using that, it's really helpful
to contact people.
But it is really important
to do that kind of work.
How can DOJ be qualified in review
departments?
They aren't.
Is it legal?
We don't think so.
There's a lawsuit on that.
And how is our personal information
going to...
This one
A Republican and Trill will argue
that I'm going into conspiracy
theory, but this is
what I truly believe.
I think a lot of the reason why they
want access to our personal data is
because Elon Musk wants this
for his own business interests.
Has an AI business,
and he recently tweeted back
to Spinner, a cartoon of,
with, on one side of the road was
his AI, and the other side was
Microsoft, Google, and everybody
else, the woke AIs,
right? So now we're going to be
stupid and, you know, like, woke and
not woke AI.
But if you
fire all these people and no one's
there to answer the phone call so
you get your services, you're going
probably have to eventually contract
with AI.
And if he's the guy who has all
the data in him, which is why we're
fighting and we're winning, we play
the way we're protecting them from
getting a lot of data, that's
why I think a lot of that is out
there. That's why it's corrupt to
have more funds.
Thank you very much.
The question about Megalore is that
there's probably more street
and local law, so I'm going to pass
on that.
We can't get Republicans
on each side to
turn this around.
I'm talking about social security.
I'm afraid to go through customs
if I travel all over the country.
Will they search my phone?
Worry about group questions.
I literally, for the first time
ever, had a meeting yesterday where
two people in the meeting,
one was an international student,
afraid to tell me their name because
they don't want any
problems.
And all there is an international
students, but they're afraid because
of all that's going on, and that's
part of what we're seeing.
As an advocacy team member with the
Friends Committee, thank you to the
Friends committee, they did a great
work for our peace of justice.
On the national level, it's the
Quakers, I regularly lobby a
man on peace and justice issues I've
met with his across staff several
times, but I'm unable to meet with
him in person.
He is reluctant to meet
with me. Do you have any
suggestions?
I have suggestions, I won't say
where you can
find them.
But, look,
you keep it up.
And if he doesn't want to do public
town halls, and he's meeting with
the Chamber, or he's meeting with a
business group, show up.
Be outside.
Make it a town hall.
He's going up to the stage and
there he is.
There's one more time to go.
We've heard so many of them all.
And shit is shit, Tom.
So A, you
need this,
the ability to actually look someone
in the eye, follow up on a question,
and actually make him give you an
answer. And by the way, if someone
does this, do you know what it
means? It means they have
muscles in the back of their neck
that allow them to have a bomb.
If you need a yes or a no from
him, don't just take anything
else, but you have to force
those mini-tell-tells
of where he's going to be at.
I appreciate you being outspoken
in this impact.
Thank you.
You have a DVD over there right now.
What would you say to them?
Oh, there he is, over there, um,
I mean, Derek,
representative of the Stichens, you
know, you know what?
And if you guys are former Navy
SEALs, are afraid of the people,
then you are...
That you represent, then you've
got a problem, right?
So thank you.
We're doing lots of flutters, we're
doing a lot of things to try to
raise awareness.
Again, communication is the
same strategy as we're following
right now.
Because electorally we can't do as
much, but we can all work together
on that. And the last one
on...
9-11 system.
I'm going to pass on that, so once I
ask it, we're generally going to
respond, because that's very, very,
very specific.
Slightly B.
So, that was these.
I want to make sure that I see your
hand. Just one second.
I'll call on you.
I'll open it up for folks to ask
questions, and we'll
try to cover what
we can.
Do we have a mic for people?
Unfortunately, we only have one mic.
Okay.
No problem. Okay, so if we could
just jump and have a stand-up first,
and then we'll join in.
Yeah, I don't know.
We're gonna be chilling sir, hang on
one second.
Congressman Andy Parrish, we
actually go back and forth on
Twitter and there's like 12,000
viewers, wasn't enough for you on
a show, but I
think it's important that we
recognize that the groups that
put this together tonight
donated $15,750,388
to government-backed candidates and
exactly zero to Republican
candidates.
And there were three Democrats and
zero Republicans.
So that's not my question.
I just think we should acknowledge
that. And that's why Gary's not
here. And I'm just going to go with
the other. Gary, can I have a word
with you?
Okay, so before we do we
now, I'm very glad you just
said that you wanted direct answers
from members of Congress, so
I'm going to ask you a direct
question. I want a direct answer.
You brought up trans athletes to
find women.
I think the audience is here.
Go, go, go!
This is
such a bogus issue.
You
Thank you to the students.
Thank you.
This is about the community.
Thank you for your questions.
Thank you guys for your question,
okay?
I'm answering it the way I'm going
to answer it, right?
Just like you're answering it right
now.
Oh my god, it's
so cool.
Alright, so
what I mentioned one was
there are tens of trans athletes
in all the NCAA there's 13
billionaires in Trump you're
making law for such
a small number of billionaires.
A very best
answer is
what he wrote.
The very best answer is what the Republican
governor of Utah did.
The Republican governor
of Utah, when the Republican
legislature passed a law to ban
trans girls from sports in K-12
level, he vetoed the
bill.
And the reason the Republican
governor vetoed
a bill was for two reasons.
One, there were 75,000
kids in organized sports
and K- 12 schools in Utah.
Three were trans,
and one was a trans girl.
The legislature literally is taking
time passing the law for
one kid in the entire
state of Utah.
And two, about 80%
of trans teens, because
of bullying of adults,
can think about suicide.
So, I want to thank one of the
people who invited me to join,
and that's how I'm going to end
today.
What are you going to do to try to
defeat the S.A.V.E.
App, which I don't consider a S.
A.V..
So the same act is
one of these things that's going to
make it harder for people to vote.
And it's being sold under the,
this will make sure if you're not a
citizen you can't vote.
Guess what?
If you're now a citizen, you can.
In the last several weeks, all we've
done are passed CRAs,
which are compressor resolutions of
disapproval of things Joe Biden's
done. They don't like the energy
efficiency on fridgerators,
but because they can't pass anything
else, they did one bill on the
energy efficiency of home fridgers,
another bill on energy efficiency of
commercial refrigerators, another
bill of energy efficiency of
stoves.
This is my life, right?
This is what we're doing these days
in the caucus.
The state act, though, could be
consequential if it passes the House
and the Senate in the same form.
I do think the Senate will probably
do some changes, and that means it's
gonna be some bouncing back and
forth. But they're fixed to make
sure that non-citizens don't
vote, which, by the way, you can't
do already, is if you're
a woman and you got married
and you changed your
name, which is, by the way, 70
million women in this
country, your
birth certificate won't have your
name, right?
So if you go into register, you
can't. That's not good enough
because it doesn't add your
married name.
If you're in the military sent
overseas, you have
to do it in person.
You can't apply to vote
when you're serving the country and
putting your life on the line
overseas.
I mean, that's just a couple of
examples of idiocy of
the SAVE Act.
So again, a lot of this is
they say stuff that
they think sounds good.
A citizen should vote, but
it's usually focused to begin with,
and usually it has these other
ramifications that they never
address to the public debate or
anywhere else. So we'll do our best
to surely come back to the House,
but I did pass the House.
And right now I think it's time to
get this up.
Hi. Thanks for being here.
I had a kind of a public health
question.
So what we're seeing is that
we're understanding that our public
health funds are there.
But because of all the staff
cuts to CDC,
the money that's supposed to go to
the states is being held
up. So like, I work on a grant that
is supposed to end at the end of
this month, and we have no idea if
we're getting our money or not.
And I'm just wondering, like, are
there things that Congress can do?
Because, like state programs can't
even communicate with anybody
because there's...
Unfortunately, this goes to,
we need your number of Congress to
stand up for your constituents
and say it's
Article 1, powers of
the Constitution that give the power
of the person of Congress.
You can't just stop
funding or you can't fire people
that facilitate the funding
and that's the problem we're having.
We don't have, unfortunately,
a lot of other pathways to try
to do that and you're not the only
person. We hear this from lots of
non-profits right now, for example,
taking out loans, just trying to see
a flow, but there's no guarantee at
the end of the day these funds are
going to come unless the members of
Congress stand up for what is
congressional authority and
appropriations is congressional.
One of my main concerns is,
what are we going to do if
the Trump administration defies...
Thank you very much.
I'm fairly inferred
that that's what we're looking at,
maybe in this case with Mr. Garcia
or the AP news
organization.
Those are the two that right now
seem to be hitting as
far as they can go.
Right now they're arguing over what
facilitated meant.
We know it's a ridiculous argument,
but it's their way of trying to
still not do their job and do this
job of that.
But that's the good constitutional
crisis, like we'll figure out what
happens. The good news, again,
is in almost every case, they have
to apply for orders.
Few of these extra noisy ones you're
seeing right now, we're doing the
right thing by pushing back on
those, but we're not at that point
yet to see what happens.
I mean, the good news is,
the Supreme Court this weekend,
literally as they're bussing people
to say, to Venezuela,
stop the court order,
the bus had to turn around.
So they are confined by and large,
but you're right, that is gonna be
the $100,000 question.
When that happens,
what do we do?
And I think, you know, the
situation is the closest
that we're at at that point.
I've got a couple of people already
on the set up, so I'm going to do
this in order of way.
I'll do it with my grandkids.
I just wanted to say one thing,
and that is I have not
been satisfied by my
representative in D.C.
And I have, for
a long time, I don't think
anybody should
be satisfied with a performance
of a member of Congress.
And I don' think a member should be
happy with their own performance.
I think they should all be restless
for somebody better.
That's all I have to say.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
My question involves the Fourth
State and how important
they are.
And I just saw that C.D.A.S.S
has resigned because
of the pressure.
So we attack on
the Fourth of State, a vital
institution to our
democracy in their press.
And how do you see that in
terms of economy?
That is one of the main concerns
right now.
AP is one case where they're kicking
them out of the car and blocking
access, threatening
them while the student lost it.
But in our journalism interest,
I completely appreciate what you're
saying and the concern that we have
to have over this.
I'm also really concerned about how
we get our information now because
we get it largely through social
media and people largely get
what they want to get.
Even though they're not actively
doing it, it's the way it's pushed
to them, right?
So people aren't seeing all the
information that's out there.
And also these companies are
collecting our private data in
ways and then selling it without our
authorization. So,
my biggest concern really is around
the fact that we don't even have
traditional ways that people get
information.
I think they said 45%
of undecided voters towards
the end of the November election did
not get their news through
mainstream media.
So, part of what we're
trying to do, and that's why I
started Podcast, is to try to
find new channels.
We really need all of you through
your channels to use it to talk
to the folks that you talk to.
And it's not a direct answer to the
Fourth Estate question, but it's
something we certainly, I think, can
do. And I hope it can improve the
situation.
But there's a lot of disinformation
out there, and we just have
to do our best to get it the right
information.
Hello, Senator John
Hatton from La Crosse.
I teach here in La Cres and
my concern is education.
If they are going to shut down
the Department of Education,
I teach K-12,
that's maybe 7 to 10 percent of our
budget comes from the feds.
And so what can you do or
can we do to present that?
That's the name of a running game.
All right, so this is
one of the most immediate concerns
we have. In order to fund this
tax cut bill, or the role
it is, is what they're doing
in the four or five quarters,
as I mentioned earlier, but one of
them is education.
You're cutting 45%
of federal funding to education,
and that's for higher education and
K-12. The problem is,
if it's K-12 funding, it's
likely IDAA funding or Title
I, Title I loyals districts IDAA
is special added.
If you cut back on that, districts
will have less funding for teachers.
That means you're going to have bigger
class sizes.
That means, you're likely
going to be having a local property
tax increase in order to fund for
some of that. So think about it.
You not only are getting ripped off
of those services that you've paid
for in your taxes because they're
giving that money to the wealthiest.
But now you get the privilege of
being more at the local level to
also fund them.
So, this is go time.
This is, Derek, I remember,
doesn't get a runaway on his
motorcycle in time, right?
He's got to, wherever he goes,
you have to have a time halt.
If he has to answer for these,
he'll definitely answer next
November.
But he needs to answer right now,
because it's too late to
answer the question right now.
Thank you.
Would you guys raise your hand if
you support gender babies?
All right, Mike here voted
against the corner-life
abortions of other survivors and
protectors.
It was a bill that requires doctors
to care for babies who suffer from
abortions,
and I want to know why you have
that.
My question was,
why did you make that book?
It's a question on a specific piece
of legislation about abortion.
I'm going to answer a little more
than 30,000, but this is
one where I know people feel very
strongly about it.
Some people think it's their body,
their choice, and they have a right
to make their decisions.
Some people are generally connected
to their faith and have a very
strong position that they think
it's a lie for us to
take, you know, a lie. So it's one
of the most divisive issues
I think that we have in the country.
Unfortunately, almost every piece of
legislation that's come has pinballs
in the details of what they're
putting there. There's like
overreach.
This is one of most frustrating
aspects of God.
So, when you
talk about, you know, some of the
acts about deporting
someone who's not
here legally, who did a criminal
action, that's already law.
But then when you add in aspects
of due process and you take
away that, that is against what we
are fundamentally here.
And that bills like that
often have those little pitfalls in
there, so it's not quite as simple
as I think most people would
like to make it right, but it's,
it's So, I believe personally
that it's a woman's decision if
you can bring your doctor.
But I also look at the
number of hypocritical
Republicans who have had abortions,
who want to stop it and never do it
again.
But I don't think that's going to
make a difference, whatever it is,
it's just I also have a right to
my opinion, my belief, and
I vote based on that.
So I'd like to thank everyone for
coming here.
We're all making the same,
we need support.
And we'll please, please
hope that you can come
find us.
Thank you very much.
We might not have evidence,
but God bless you all, come in
and let's keep the fight going.
I have a unique
pleasure in being a
senior who has retired
in May only because I
require five or nine jobs
because I am concerned.
I was ready to give them all up,
but my drunk was elected and now I'm
concerned that I won't have Social
Security, which I've been into
since I was 16.
But my question kind of goes
to a different thing.
My question is, over
the past...
Six months or more
we've heard at different times that
there are a tremendous
number of republicans
and the number seems to be
increasing in congress whether it
be the congress or the senate
that are
fed up with trump don't
like this policy or that
policy but when
it comes The question of both
takes hold of mine.
I would like to know.
If you see among your
colleagues, any that
are a little bit soft.
That we could attack and
win them over so that
we would be able to get our
accomplishes on.
Because I've called, I've
written to the president, I know
he doesn't read those letters, I
know his staff doesn't really read
those, although I was very
courteous, very nice,
very So, but
I think he got my point.
That was really a good conversation,
isn't it? So maybe he did.
But I would really like to
know, who can I hire?
I have called Town of Tumperville's
office. I have call
some others' offices on
specific issues.
That I felt they
needed to stand up,
get some balls, and
follow what their constituents were
asking for.
I'd like to know why.
There's no question we're targeting.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you so much.
You have a unique power.
You have remember in a swing
district who
won by 2.6%
that if he doesn't listen to you,
you can fire him next year.
Thank you very much.
Traveling to the third congressional
district all over Western Wisconsin
is beautiful.
I live in the beautiful discovery,
living in this area in Western, game
coming.
If I didn't believe it's so
important what you're doing right
now, we only need three
members on any issue
to stand up and do the right
thing.
And your member has said he won't
vote for staff pets.
Hold him to it.
He said he's not going to vote for
Medicaid pets.
Hold him.
He says he's going to not vote for
Medicare Association. And hold him
to it, hold him what he's saying,
and I know that Tom Holt tomorrow is
BS, it's not real, but then make
interactions like this happen,
but you have the best power.
I also will say, if you
already contact my office, I would
probably not ever see the message,
because we have over 700,000
constituents, and about 16,
17 staff that cover everything
from policy to communications
back to folks,
And the way our software operates,
if your zip code isn't from the
district, if you can't even get it
right, it's because you just don't
have the ability to.
So you do have the able to contact
Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin
statewide, but your
member of Congress is the person who
you have to contact to.
And honestly...
This district is crucial
to whether or not
there's a Congress that's going to
block and be a goalie to Donald
Trump's agenda.
So, you have more
power than you know.
I hear all the folks from my
district are like, what can we do,
what do we do?
I go, well, I'm your member, so I
don't know. I don' know which amount
is all good, but we need to
organize in the other six districts.
But honestly, the number one
of those six districts that's
political is this district.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you!
A suggestion for you,
because the congressperson is
exactly right, if you don't live in
the right zip code, you can't
get through.
Those are your powers.
What I'm going to suggest to you,
because what I get totally
frustrated with is there is a
congressperson from Maine, Jared,
Gold, something or other,
who is a Democrat, who
consistently asks
for donations, alright,
and consistently votes
as it would not sound to
vote, but you can't contact him.
What you can do
is you can look up
the address of a library
within this district,
use that address and telephone
number, and you can,
indeed, email.
I did that with Lindsey
Graham.
I understand.
I don't see anything.
I was 75-year-old
when this was the first obscene...
Thank you. Bye.
Thank you very much.
I wish I
were as sanguine as you
above the courts of this country.
Four years after
January 16th, there were
no repercussions.
None.
The stunning classified
documents, no
repercussion.
We are relying on the
6-3 Supreme
Court.
I wish I could share
your optimism,
I cannot.
Now, my question for
you is, if
the Republicans are
successful in their reconciliation
effort, they threaten
to include
a $4 trillion increase
in the deficit limit.
If they are not successful
at doing that, are you personally
willing to invoke the nuclear
option and vote against
an increase in the deadline?
That is not our
position.
Let me just go to the first part,
we'll answer your question.
I wouldn't recommend finding a fake
address in the district to contact
someone because it just,
we'll figure it out, but they'll
never see it, and someone will
figure it all along the way.
You're real.
Good.
I'll make sure to film you guys
again.
Pedicab, all right, let's do that
instead. I just don't think it's
probably worth doing that.
So, like I said, reconciliation,
I should have did this in the
beginning and thank you for
mentioning. So we talked about a
reconciliation bill, which is like
talking inside your ballot book.
What a reconciliation means is
there's a rule that once
a year,
and our fiscal year is September,
October 1st to September 30th,
The way to get around the 60-vote
filibuster rule is
to do reconciliation.
And there are rules around what are
included in reconciliation.
In the Senate parliamentary
exercise, they could say
some of these things aren't at some
point, but right now we'll find out
as they'll come back to us.
But that's what reconciliation is,
and I'm sorry I didn't prevent by
getting it explained. It's really
just a loophole once a
year to get round the normal
60-volt rule.
So, generally, though,
anything that's probation is just
being the subject of the charge.
I want to say that part of that bill
was to lift the debt ceiling of $4
trillion so they can do all the
tax cuts.
And right now, there's no way I
would ever go to lift a debt ceiling
so they could do a tax break for
Donald Trump.
Thank you.
Applause .
The gentleman across the aisle
encouraged all of us to vote,
and the woman on the work across
the echo was
concerned about voting that.
Is there a way here
in the grassroots that we
can help people
check and
find out whether or
not they're going to be able to vote
and help them get the proper
documentation?
This will not be the best place for
all of them, but I think there are a
lot of groups that help people with
this, from the League of Women
Voters, and others.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Can you bring us up-to-date
about the selling of federal
public lands and
Mr. Trump's setting up the
Sapper Wealth Fund?
And is there a list of federal
private public lands that are
vulnerable?
I think the lesson is two
microphones.
I'm going to get a second of
everything, okay?
Some of these just don't think of
whatever it is.
That's all right, this is a big
group.
So, again, this
part of, I think, again things that
we don't know about Trump may have
all the powers that he wants to.
He's closing a lot of offices,
right? Here in La Crosse, some of
his federal offices, in Northern
Wisconsin, some federal offices.
He wants to sell some of the federal
buildings, some public lands,
and we're not sure.
Some, he may have some authority
to do as the executive
branch, largely he may not,
because I think of the fiscal nature
of things. I don't know if there's a
list, I'm sorry, there may be, but I
just don't know offhand, but this
is absolutely one of the concerns,
and National Parks too, and some of
the cuts that are happening there.
I want to let you know, I am a huge
fan of National Parks.
Part of the problem is we're
flooding the zone with everything
that's happening, right?
And that's partially intentional.
Partially it's because, like,
when he answered the question in the
debate whether or not he had a
health care plan, he had the concept
of the plan.
A lot of what he does is a concept
of a plan, so it's chaotic.
The first time Trump was president,
10% of what we said...
Happened. This time, I'm going to
argue 25% of what he says
is likely to happen at the heart of
our job, the superior other than 25%
is, and that's also a difficulty.
Will Greenland be acquired
by the United States?
I don't think so.
Is Canada going to become the 51st
state? I wouldn't say so, right?
But I do have to worry about
all these other things.
I do know that the Holy
Grail, everything that they're
doing, is out of
Project 2025, right.
We did, I did a
town hall here in La Crosse
before the election, they were in
Eau Claire, and what he wants up
Green Bay, Jamesville,
and Madison to try to talk and learn
people about this.
And I never thought it would go up
this fast in what they're doing.
So that in many ways is what to
look at if you wanna know what they
are gonna do. The only thing not
mentioned really in Project 2025
that they said is they didn't have
room, it's because they didn' have
the guts to do it, as mentioned
Social Security, but they're
absolutely accurate.
They just didn't wanna touch the
third rail when they mentioned it.
But when it comes to public lands
and other issues, I would say take a
look at what's in Project 2025
that's like the direction they're
going.
Questions over here at one time.
I'm not much concerned about the
ideology coming out of the White
House.
We are learning the White Washington
history.
And I'm honored to introduce you to
some civil disobedience, especially
the arrest... So that was something
like that.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'm grateful for my friends.
And I think it's been a great time.
So we're talking about specific
people getting
exported.
People in our federal prisons
are concerned about
being such a hard country.
Also, the federal bureau of prisons
is in total chaos right now.
They're missing 4,000 employees.
The upper level administration is
half gone.
Just selected
a new director.
What's going on.
Okay.
The second one, I can tell you, so I
serve on the Appropriations
Committee, and my two
subcommittees, you know, there is
your, right, so there's a
lot of things I can't, I don't know
a lot about what your business is,
to be honest with you, so I'm not
going to be able to view a lot.
I deal with labor issues, human
services, and education issues.
That's my main subcommittee.
That is the second biggest pool on
the health and defense.
So I feel more on that front,
so I just, sorry I really don't have
a great answer for you on that.
On your other question, I think what
we're trying to do right now is
figure out ways to lift these
issues. There's all different ways
to do it. Right now we have members
going to El Salvador, right, to try
to talk to Mr. Garcia, to inform
members of Congress who are on some
of the right committees of oversight
to do that.
Some of us are doing town halls
and they bring districts.
You know, we're all doing different
things.
So I don't know if there's any one
silver bullet, I don' think there is
at all. But I think what we're
trying to do is more, if that's
what everyone wants of us.
But you have such
a unique power, I'm just going to
say it again, you're in a district
that if your member of Congress
doesn't listen, he's
not going to be in Congress.
And for most members of Congress,
unfortunately, the number one thing
they care about is coming back
to Congress, not what they do once
they're there. So, you
have so much power
out of that drug, please
use it in every way possible,
because if he doesn't
want to do the right thing,
then there are consequences.
And I'll tell you, it's a different
Derek Redford, by the way, than it
was last session.
He is Mata.
That is who he is.
He feels comfortable because
he has to,
if he's smart, listen to your
constituents.
So, thank you for being here and
thank you to whoever else you keep
doing that for.
Just a quick reminder, if anyone is
not super used to using a
microphone, it is kind of difficult
to hear in the back, so do please
keep the microphone very close to
your face.
My question for you
is, should we do something as
a consumer, because consumerism is
70% Thank you very much.
Should we have a national strike,
or we make an impact against certain
businesses, not every business,
because there's great small business
owners out there that don't
stop show
up shopping low, for example.
But what about if you made an impact
and you're not finding new Facebook
in that day?
Maybe you can do too many things in
that, but the sale is out for the
day.
Would that be worthwhile in your
opinion, as far as
what's the market consumers in that
way?
I can tell you that people are doing
that right now with Tesla, and I
think the news today was that it's
going to stop.
Let's give a round of applause to
Dr. Kelly and Dr. Scott for
the talk.
So, I see
what you're saying.
Honestly, the world I live in mostly
is how we convince a
member of Congress like yours to
try to do the right thing.
And if they're not going to, then
you switch people off.
Right?
So, honestly, I mean, you know,
that's where most of my
brain is trying to focus on how we
make sure we get that communication.
I mean I do think that if things get
bad enough, you now, there's a
little conversation about a wildcat
strike, right? That you can do,
and you shut down everything for a
day and show people what it could
be, and I think that's where the
groups ultimately decide depending
what happens.
I'm not sure we're there yet.
I don't know if in one day I'm not
selling on a Facebook.
We probably have the effect that
we'd like it to, because I think
Mark Zuckerberg, instead of making
oodles of money, we'll make
lots of money regardless
of the size.
Don't worry about the same impact,
but using our political power
with our elected officials.
And the same is true of legislation,
by the way. We have some really
great state senators and
state representatives from this
area.
Thank you all for coming.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you.
Like that, you know,
you stop some of these funds and
stop the funds to the state, and
that's where it will end up.
And your local communities
also are going to feel that.
I used to, I served on the Clean
County Board of Supervisors, and
then the Legislature and the
Congress.
In that point, you have nowhere else
to go in the local government,
right? You're just stuck, you're
asked to go onto taxes,
which is why education issues.
You know, if you cut the kind of
funds like that, either you really
hurt kids and you hurt the
performance, or if you're going to
ask for more taxes in order to do
it, and that, the buck does stop
there.
I don't know if it's a direct
answer, but I do think that, you
know, doing
what we can to hold our elected
officials accountable, I think,
is something that we can all do, and
we all can do that.
Thank you.
So, as painful as it's
been, I have been to
Banner on his town hall, and
he of course will not answer a
question from an intelligent woman.
Because I want to help you.
Thank you very much.
Four, three. 38 of my 39 years in
my career.
So one thing is that when we call
everybody.
What do you need to do when you are
talking about
Medicaid and Medicare for
the $880 billion cut?
That impact is
going to hit every single one of you
because approximately 25%
of the reimbursement that your
local health systems get is
from Medicaid.
If 25%
of the reimbursement for the local
hospitals goes away,
what happens?
You know I'll forget the
newest equipment.
You know, I'll get doctors
who know what the hell they're
doing.
You don't want to get pay
increases for the staff.
So you're going to have less staff.
They're going find something else to
do.
So you need to see that
not only does this hurt
those who it is helping the
most, it is going to hurt you.
Because if you think it takes 6
months to see a specialist now,
it's going to take you a year if
that specialist is even here.
Thank you very much.
I am honored to
have this conversation with Derek
Van Horne.
More than once, I called his
office and loved the young boy
who was in his car.
He cannot repeat back to you what
you have told him, but
he does answer.
He is very pleasant.
I have sent questions to
Mr. Van Horner.
He will not answer them on a town
hall, Because I specifically
go to, you voted for,
this $880 million for
this committee to do, and you
and I both know it's been
hit Medicaid and possibly
Medicare.
So he doesn't
listen to the
questions that are reasonable.
Can you take your socks off?
Stop all questions and kiss
some of his ass.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you.
The reason I went over here while
you were speaking can be rude, but
it's $1.7 billion
impact on the third congressional
district if they cut
Medicaid.
So it has the ripple effects
that you are going to all see in
many areas, and that's why it's
important. And the second thing I
just want to say is...
Thank you for saying about how nice
the person was who answered the
phone, that you were nice to that
person.
Always, please be
nice. If someone is answering,
because not all offices are able to,
be nice to the person who answered
the phone in Jarek's
office, in anyone's office.
Camp Baldwin's, Ron Johnson's.
Offer their interns, offer their
entry level staff, they're doing
their best.
And please always treat
them with the utmost courtesy like
you did. Thank you saying that
because it really doesn't matter.
I'm going to try to speak for the
crowd size. Is anyone under here
now?
I think it's 10, 12, 12.
10? 10?
Can we just read about 10 minutes
left?
If you have a
burning question that has not come
up, have your hand raised and
we're going to go and take all the
questions and I'll do my best to
remember and I may not otherwise
have you reassist me if I
could be missing one. Alright?
That's alright?
I'm sure other people can answer
this, how the hell did you let
Musk become president?
You
I lived in Boston on
9-11, about 2
million people travel by
plane every day.
I'm curious if there's a bill in the
Senate to prioritize TSA.
We haven't had a terrorist attack
for 23 years, and
I can't understand why they're
proposing to undo that.
I don't know if you have any insight
into the Republican caucus,
and if there is support for this.
This is something that happens
on both sides.
There's a lot of insight and
training going on in
our government, our representatives,
names are identified in the hands of
the full-seat department.
Recently, Marjorie
Taylor greened some of the nodes.
We have people... We have people
that we are wanting to
represent us.
They are going in there
with maybe
their total assets
out to $12,000.
They go then to office,
and they leave office
in multiple millionaires.
So what's going to be done about
this? I mean, isn't this
last?
Run around with a stock
market crashing and people
cashing in and
Orwell sitting in her scraping
buy-in by a dozen eggs.
And they're going to copy millions
and millions of
dollars.
So I want to know, is there
something going to be done about it
once and for all?
He led us to get elected to
anything, so,
but he's got as much power
almost as the president, and that's
part of the problem, that's why we
either have to stop his ability
to get contracts and he can still
serve the federal government,
because he does have a right to do
that, or he can't serve the
government,
you know what I'm saying, right? He
either gets contracts he can serve
or he would serve and not get
contracts, but no one elected
him, and he's been given
unprecedented power.
Yes, as a citizen.
So, TSA question.
Look, 10,000 bills get introduced a
year. Many are really stupid.
That one would be really stupid,
clearly. But we're having plane
crashes, things that we haven't had.
And, like, we've got the Secretary
of Transportation, Sean Duffy,
who originally was from Wisconsin,
talking about—the president one day
said he was going to do an executive
order on water flow in
shower heads.
And he was ITV
talking about water flow and shelter
management. He probably shouldn't be
talking about airplane safety.
That's part of the problem we see in
general with Donald Trump.
But I don't think that bill will
move very far.
What you have to do to worry about
is bills that...
Right now they can't pass a lot of
bills because they're very structural
in the House, that precinct
majority.
But anything that gets added to a
bus pass piece of legislation in
the Washington court, I don' think
it's a priority. I think it's one of
the 10,000 bills that's introduced.
And to your question, I
absolutely agree with you.
We should fire members of Congress
who may be able to buy the stocks.
Thank you very much.
I know companies in my
district that are trying to, if they
get approval from CMS or Medicare,
or whatever it is, they're about to
go skyrocket, right?
I am trying to help them, because
that's jobs to the district, right,
so when I get that information,
I go to classified briefings where
I'm going to find out something's
going to happen in 48 hours that
could be impacted and effectively
stop. I shouldn't be able to do
that. The best news
I can tell you, because members
of Congress haven't been great at
basing themselves on this at all,
is Haki Jeffries, the Democratic
leader, he's
one of our most powerful people,
just came out and supports that
now because of the way Donald Trump,
the day he reversed the 90 days
on the terrace, he said first
on social media, now is a good time
to buy stocks, which is corruption,
plain and simple.
The fact that we now have someone
like that, that's very powerful,
but we do have to pass it as members
of Congress, but I completely agree
with everything you said.
Yeah, there's bills already in
place.
Yeah, there's bills already, but I
don't think Mike Johnson's probably
going to put him on the
docket unless there's support
for him.
So let's do the last three
questions, okay?
Not a question, but you're
all here, you're always here.
If you want to get more involved,
join your local democratic
party with the commons that you're
in, and join the
indivisible, so you can move
together and work together on
an issue, or get on 51
on 21.
So there are lots of things you can
do, protests, protests, protest,
because it makes a difference.
So that's my only question.
Thank you very much.
Good night everyone.
I don't believe that
anybody has complimented
the Trump supporters and have
dared to show up today.
I mean, thank you for supporting...
Thank you.
When I came back my car,
it says...
And I
would invite the
Trump supporters to
consider that Fox
lies and see if
you can get some balanced
information from a few
other sources.
Thank you.
I think you did a really good job
of making it the point of making
comments, right?
So I don't want to hold folks who
have been here for two hours.
Thank you very much for being here
today.
Thank you all.
Thank you so much.
