00:00:25.760 rest of his presidency golfing at mar-a-lago this man is on a mission he has come into office

00:00:31.380 like a freight train which is good good news i'm scrolling on x every day and like my timeline has

00:02:33.480 since i have found myself in this position and where this has become a passion for me uh but i was

00:02:39.380 watching pete hex has a senate confirmation hearing a few weeks ago as i imagine many of you were

00:02:45.580 and i was so just enthused to see someone in in that position the position of authority to so plainly

00:02:55.880 call it the hypocrisy that we have seen time and time and time again from our elected officials uh not

00:03:01.760 even elected unelected and elected bureaucrats on both sides of the aisle might i add uh so we're going 1.00

00:03:07.540 to get into that today we're going to talk about the lake and riley act we are going to talk about

00:03:35.200 governor stitt i believe he is one of the best he may objectively be the best governor in the nation

00:03:42.160 um of course oklahoma was one of only what two states uh i think the other one was west virginia

00:03:47.620 that turned totally and entirely red on november 5th so very big fan over here uh i saw you this

00:03:56.880 weekend too i didn't see you personally i wish i got to meet you in in real life but i watched a video

00:04:01.180 on x and it it struck a chord in my heart as someone who's very close to to my own dad uh and

00:04:09.420 it was this beautiful amazing video with you and your daughter uh dancing you're wearing your cowboy

00:04:15.360 hat and and i believe you're true fashion right at one of these inaugural balls and so more before we

00:04:23.640 get into to the conversation today i just want to ask you how are you feeling in what the the four days

00:04:29.560 since the inauguration now yeah excited uh excited uh i you know riley i was i was the next night i was

00:04:38.560 on cnn and they asked me you know how was your day today and i said you know i woke up uh the air

00:04:44.620 just for some reason filled my lungs a lot better um the sunshine and the sunrise was just beautiful

00:04:50.740 and my protein shake for the first time tasted great and that's so funny it just it just gave so

00:04:57.620 much um i i guess hope because i've been up here for 12 years and for four other years we had

00:05:05.240 president trump in office and it was a it was a breath of fresh air but at the same time it was a

00:05:09.940 very controversial time in our country uh and then you had four years with biden and it was like where is

00:05:17.220 this world going to i mean it's what drove you in into the to i wouldn't call it the limelight but to

00:05:23.720 the front lines literally to the front lines and and started taking the fight on which you know god's

00:05:28.980 always got a plan for us and a path for us and we just don't know it until we walk down it and then

00:05:32.980 we see okay thank you lord but it because of that four years it's really brought america together

00:05:38.860 and open their eyes to what this what the left was selling and even president trump and i were having

00:05:45.500 a conversation uh after the election and he was talking about you know people coming to mar-a-largo

00:05:52.280 and meeting with him and he says it's amazing to me because these people were nowhere when i first

00:05:56.780 was in office and i said sir i if if you would have made it back into the white house four years ago

00:06:03.660 it would have been different but people appreciate you more because of what they had to go through the

00:06:09.380 last four years and he says yeah yeah that's right that's right and american people feel that way

00:06:13.260 you wasn't seeing the riots like you did in 2017 cars being burned uh riots happening in seattle

00:06:20.160 and in portland and in new york and in chicago and massachusetts and you just go through every

00:06:25.580 liberal city you want to and they were all having riots in 2017 this time this time in 2017 and it

00:06:32.300 said people are excited about it more people are coming out for it and i think we all see that the

00:06:37.380 country is it has a real possibility to get back on track absolutely yeah uh i mean total lawlessness

00:06:44.960 and chaos ensued then and certainly during president biden's administration uh and things have

00:06:52.100 changed right they've changed a lot in the past i guess you would know in the past five years uh since

00:06:57.540 you and tulsi gabbard bipartisanly introduced at the time of course introduced the protect women's sports 0.82

00:07:04.600 act uh now you are here we are where this is an issue that has seemingly fallen almost entirely on

00:07:12.440 party lines uh at least in terms of elected representation i understand the senate will hear

00:07:17.580 this bill soon i mean do you think you can can convince some some democrats maybe in those swing

00:07:23.380 states uh who very narrowly won their election to to get on board with something like uh what you and

00:07:30.560 tulsi introduced five years ago way ahead of your time by the way yeah i think 20 to yeah 2018

00:07:37.560 i think so what was when uh tulsi and i first introduced it and uh and because at that time

00:07:43.900 i had my girls wrestling and they're still wrestling in fact i'll show you a picture real quick you can

00:07:47.980 see this i don't know if you can see my daughter that's her just she has pulled weight and uh that 0.90

00:07:52.940 she just made weight she literally just sent this to me she's just totally white because she had to 1.00

00:07:56.620 pull four pounds and since yesterday and that was a look of death on her face by the way 1.00

00:08:01.560 but uh and she's a patient that athletes have you know right but and she's a three-time state 1.00

00:08:07.320 champion um she's extremely extremely competitive of course her brothers are competitive as we said

00:08:13.240 before the show her brothers two wrestle at oklahoma state one wrestles at ou and she's got two

00:08:17.880 younger sisters that wrestle too and i've always said that my girls can compete with anyone as long 1.00

00:08:23.820 as it's a level playing field and uh and it's the same thing with as women begin to speak out 1.00

00:08:30.840 about this but it took it literally took you standing up because i remember when this first

00:08:36.320 started happening my wife at the time was the director of usa wrestling in oklahoma and we were

00:08:41.560 pushing to get girls wrestling into high school it seems like it's always been there now because it's 0.98

00:08:46.400 the fastest growing sport in in high schools across the country now but it wasn't at that time there

00:08:51.840 was only a few states that actually had it and um and when this issue first started coming up where they

00:08:58.100 started letting uh biological males

00:09:00.840 compete in in female sports the first person i talked to was an olympian from hawaii and that's

00:09:08.220 why tulsi had brought her to me to talk to me and um she was a uh she was a um uh uh she ran the 400 1.00

00:09:16.700 and her daughter does the same thing and her daughter had just got beat in the state finals by a 1.00

00:09:25.120 biological male and her daughter was the fastest female on the islands and they were showing the 0.98

00:09:32.160 times that this guy would have ran if he was running against uh male competitors and was like 230th

00:09:39.940 i don't know i just throw a number out it was over it was 230 but let's say 238

00:09:44.500 um in the country and yet he he won and and stole her state title and prevented her from being a four

00:09:51.240 time state champion and the 400 and she was upset by it we started taking this to usa wrestling at the 0.96

00:09:58.480 time and saying hey this is maybe the sport that could lead this i never thought about swimming i never

00:10:04.080 thought riley you'd be the one that was leading this with swimming but we're like look maybe this

00:10:08.560 should be wrestling should take the lead on it and i remember when i started talking to people no one

00:10:12.320 wanted to touch it it was political and people didn't want to touch it with a with a 10-foot pole

00:10:17.000 and now it's became such a problem that i do think these senators in these states that president trump

00:10:24.180 won are going to have to take a hard look at this position we saw it uh with um uh you know with the

00:10:32.180 uh recent border bill what was a border bill what bill was it it was the even the lincoln riley

00:10:37.800 lincoln riley bill we saw that there was 10 senators democrat senators that switched and 12 there was

00:10:47.260 12 of us sorry i've got my team over here give me numbers so there was 12 senators that had ended up

00:10:52.300 coming across um the the uh the aisle and voting with republicans on that and by the way if you look

00:10:58.220 at those out of those out of those 12 um nine of them are up for re-election this cycle of course

00:11:06.700 of course but it doesn't but it's politics i'm sorry politics is more important than policy

00:11:11.360 and the only thing that's more important than policy is the timing and so it's timing it's politics

00:11:16.760 it's policy it does it doesn't go policy politics timing it's completely backwards here because it's

00:11:22.100 all about perception of course of course yeah and you mentioned the lake and riley act

00:11:26.140 uh huge huge win uh very excited to see that go through uh to see it pass on president trump's

00:11:33.060 desk i had uh your colleague senator brit on last week uh how's awesome oh my gosh she's just like 1.00

00:11:39.220 salt and light uh what an amazing person very grateful for for her leadership and of course your

00:11:44.700 support have you ever met her husband wesley i have not met him but i know a lot you know being an

00:11:50.860 sec athlete myself again big fan over here he is a massive individual i mean he is huge and we have

00:11:59.340 been friends since the first time i met him we walked in and we were at a uh because we were

00:12:03.360 freshmen together and we walked into a freshman event and wesley's standing there and i was like

00:12:09.100 oh my lord and i walked up to him and i said i said uh wesley you and i are going to be friends

00:12:13.280 and he looked at me he kind of laughed he's a big old teddy bear and he laughed and he goes

00:12:16.700 he goes oh yeah why and i said why well when i see someone i'm not sure i can i i can whip in a

00:12:22.800 fight and i'm going to be friends with you so i don't have to find out he started laughing and we've

00:12:29.620 been we've been very close friends ever since that that's a good strategy and she's like a little tiny 0.83

00:12:34.540 she's so sweet even yes i was you know watching back the podcast that that her and i filmed together

00:12:40.100 and even when she's talking about uh and you can feel her passion how horrific of a situation

00:12:45.240 she's still her demeanor is is you can tell she's just one of the good ones yes so nonetheless it was

00:12:51.940 a big win uh and we've seen lots of wins over the past like i said four days i forgot our government

00:12:58.900 could actually do things that benefit people over the past since the past four years uh but it hasn't

00:13:06.040 all been wins uh because this past week we saw senate democrats block the uh born alive bill so first

00:13:14.500 can you clarify what this bill would do because there seems to be some misconceptions and and

00:13:20.820 deceit from the media of course uh and i think why this issue in particular is important to you

00:13:26.660 well uh so let me start with the with the first one why is it important to to me you know being i was

00:13:32.800 raised conservative i was raised in church and you know everybody's pro-life really but it didn't

00:13:38.800 really become a passion of mine until uh my wife and i had a um a pretty late miscarriage and we had

00:13:46.660 been trying for seven years to have children my wife and i got married and uh i was wrestling college

00:13:51.620 she was she was cheering in college i was 19 she was 18 and you know it was we thought it was a great

00:13:57.420 decision it worked out great we've been married 27 years but i wouldn't want my kids to do that

00:14:01.340 uh but um we we tried for seven years to have kids and when we finally got pregnant we found out on

00:14:08.560 christmas morning and that was actually my christmas gift she she gave me the pregnancy test and man we

00:14:14.180 were so excited uh and we went to the doctor you know several weeks later heard the heartbeat went

00:14:20.580 through other other um you know doctor visits and you know her christy's body obviously started changing

00:14:26.520 uh we had got you know pretty excited about names and uh you know later on down through the pregnancy

00:14:33.400 she went to um the doctor visit and i hate to say it i didn't go it was one of the few that i didn't go

00:14:38.480 to uh and uh she called me and she was distraught and i ran to the to the uh ran to the clinic and there

00:14:46.140 was no heartbeat and that was a death to us and that at that point on no one's ever can convince me

00:14:53.020 that that was a fetus because that was our that was our child that we lost and it was much much

00:14:58.460 harder on christy than it was me because her body went through the changes i mean it was it hurt me

00:15:02.840 too but i had to learn to to why it was so much harder and hurt i actually read a book on it and fast

00:15:08.840 forward we ended up getting pregnant again nine months later we have three just beautiful kids we

00:15:13.880 think life is going good and then these two beautiful twins came into our life at you know later at two

00:15:19.360 years old and my wife it took her months to convince me to um uh to go through the adoption with them

00:15:27.020 and and i'll tell you i actually pushed back a little bit i feel sad about that because i felt

00:15:31.940 like i feel so such a selfish man right now but i i just didn't see it and my wife is very patient

00:15:39.260 with me and she finally just pulled the ultimate trump card and said um would you just pray about it

00:15:44.700 and riley you're like okay how do you pray about that hey lord make my wife's heart as selfish as 1.00

00:15:49.280 mine uh or do you say you know lord enlarge my heart and since then just lord has blessed us

00:15:55.500 abundantly so we have three now that uh i i say three we chose and three we got stuck with

00:16:02.260 so tell me you tell me which one we love the most and uh and so we have um uh jace who's 21

00:16:09.260 and he he wrestles at oklahoma state he's our he's our oldest and then the twins our bookends

00:16:14.860 um are the ones we chose and and i would have six more if it was up to me i mean i we have six kids

00:16:21.940 and i i i i don't like my house being empty we got three in college right now so that's and i tell

00:16:28.080 people all the time if you're going to be pro life you need to be also pro adoption

00:16:33.900 because if we want these these these courageous women to go through um the pregnancy even though 0.99

00:16:43.300 when people are around them are probably telling them to abort the baby and at the time it might

00:16:46.940 sound like the easiest way out then we have to make sure when they when they do go through that

00:16:53.140 pregnancy and they're brave enough to actually have that child that that child has a loving home to go

00:16:59.020 home too and so it's it's it's it's very important that that that those of us that are pro-life we had

00:17:05.840 to be pro-adoption and be very much involved in that as my wife would say put your put your money

00:17:11.580 where your mouth is and and by the way people come to us all the time and say um i bet i mean you're

00:17:18.980 you're such a blessing to them and i'm like no no no no they're a blessing to us i've never been able

00:17:25.320 to love so much because of them and it's it's changed our life and it's changed our family's

00:17:32.160 life and it's changed the projection of our life and it's it's blessed us more than you can ever

00:17:37.300 ever ever imagine and people's like well has it always been great listen you have kids i don't care

00:17:44.440 what kid it is you're going to have challenges i was on the phone with lara at five o'clock this

00:17:49.320 morning because she was throwing a fit about having to lose weight it wasn't a pleasant conversation

00:17:54.060 but raising kids as a whole is a blessing and so i i say all that because that's where the the

00:18:01.140 passion comes from and i there's very seldom a day that comes by that i don't thank the lord

00:18:05.360 for giving the the the the the the the the individuals the ladies that gave birth to to our

00:18:12.460 children giving them the courage to go through the pregnancy and i mean that sincerely so let's talk

00:18:19.440 about the born alive bill um you know the the democrats will out there and say this doesn't

00:18:25.720 this isn't true that there's already laws that protect the the the fetus when it's born alive

00:18:31.080 and you're going no no that there's there's actually a misunderstanding on that the baby is never

00:18:36.980 considered a baby until it is actually given life preserving measure so right now say you're in

00:18:46.320 minnesota and you you go in for a for an abortion and when the baby is discharged if the baby at that

00:18:55.980 point is showing lines uh signs of life unless they actually put their hands on the child and begin

00:19:04.920 life-saving measures it's never considered a child it's still considered a fetus so what they do is they

00:19:11.980 literally walk away from the the discharge is what they call it the discharge the fetus and let the 0.84

00:19:19.540 let the fetus at that point because they call a fetus it's a baby to us let it simply die on its own

00:19:25.700 makes you sick it's sick and how do you how are you a doctor or how are you a nurse and be able to be okay 0.64

00:19:34.760 with that it just it absolutely just is mind-blowing to me how how anybody can even do that i didn't i've

00:19:43.380 said this before it's like genocide and i get the genocides is typically religious or or or a race to

00:19:50.160 which they're trying to run out but tell me what you want is more horrific when you start talking about

00:19:56.400 genocide you hear the most horrific things they treat things less than a human you treat them less

00:20:02.420 less than a dog less than than than a bird and that's the way they treat these babies when it's a botched 0.95

00:20:08.800 abortion because technically it's still an aborted fetus and so they don't have to give life-saving measures

00:20:14.760 so they just leave the room this born alive bill would stop states like minnesota from being able to do that

00:20:20.440 uh and uh and and yet every single democrat voted against it

00:20:27.420 so again just to clarify it would just ensure if a woman shows up to an abortion clinic to have

00:20:36.640 an abortion but as you said it's a botched abortion the baby is is um alive right it would ensure the 1.00

00:20:45.160 doctor uh take life-preserving measures to save this baby that that otherwise is is born i mean it's it's

00:20:54.120 right right it's it the baby is completely out of the birth canal and is on the the i wouldn't say

00:21:02.500 the delivery table it's you know it's about ready to be thrown out like trash just i hate to say that

00:21:07.920 but it's i don't mean to be graphic but that's what it is and if it if it if the if the the baby now

00:21:14.340 is showing live signs of life they had they would be required to do life-saving measures what happens

00:21:21.920 in a lot of these abortions is that um they're not accurate on the time and so they'll say the baby

00:21:28.780 is at 22 weeks and a baby might be at 31 weeks and or 32 weeks and so when the when the the whatever

00:21:39.560 procedure they do for the abortion which i won't get into the graphic part of it but whatever that

00:21:45.800 procedure is they're they're doing it for a 22 week baby and and when it when it actually starts

00:21:54.420 leaving the birth canal they realize that it wasn't enough chemicals that they put in the baby to kill

00:22:00.380 it and uh therefore the baby is still alive and it has the ability at at 32 weeks to to still survive

00:22:08.940 um and so that's what we're saying is at that point you have to give life-saving measures and yet

00:22:15.620 every single senate democrat voted against it yeah i can't even imagine i say they voted against it

00:22:21.400 they filibustered it so they wouldn't they didn't have to take the vote but all of them had signed up

00:22:25.820 saying they're going to filibuster it so technically they never took the vote but every one of them

00:22:29.800 said they're going to filibuster so the same thing they voted against yeah that's not a new tactic

00:22:34.980 but i can't imagine someone like yourself who tried and your wife who tried i mean seven years

00:22:40.780 to conceive to ultimately lose your first child i can't imagine what i mean i i'm sure you have a

00:22:47.720 different perspective uh than they do on this measure um i want to very briefly touch on uh president

00:22:56.020 trump's nominees and all the confirmations that uh that we have seen the hearings that have already

00:23:02.780 happened taking place the hearings to come i've got to bring up uh how you spent your time on the mic

00:23:09.280 during hegs has uh pete hex has hearing i think we have a video of it can we play that the senator

00:23:14.620 from virginia starts bringing up the fact that what if you showed up drunk to your job how many senators

00:23:20.920 have showed up drunk to vote at night have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign for their

00:23:28.900 job and don't tell me you haven't seen it because i know you have and then how many senators do you

00:23:34.940 know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives did you ask them to step down no but it's for

00:23:43.320 show you guys make sure you make a big show and point out the hypocrisy because the man's made a mistake

00:23:49.880 it was perfect one thing that clip did not show uh the little stitch of you was uh coach tupperville's

00:23:57.340 face in the back which was uh pretty similar to i would imagine many people's faces in that room and

00:24:03.920 those who were watching uh on tv that day it was perfect uh calling out the hypocrisy in plain

00:24:11.400 language that everyone can understand and giving us a little behind the scenes because again uh if you're

00:24:17.380 not immersed in the the swamp right uh you don't want to believe that that stuff is happening because

00:24:25.020 i think innately we want to trust our government we want to believe that they have our best interest but

00:24:30.900 uh i can only imagine the things you've seen i know what i've seen uh from both sides of the aisle

00:24:36.540 might i add spending the time that i have in dc so i thought it was just perfect it's wild though i it i

00:24:43.720 was watching hr 28 on the house floor the protection of women and girls in sports act

00:24:48.520 and the democrats they pull up with this big poster behind them that says the child predator empowerment

00:24:54.420 act and i'm watching this i'm confused i thought oh this isn't time for the women's sports bill yet 0.97

00:24:59.200 what what what bill is this i haven't heard of this what's on the docket uh and they literally were

00:25:03.940 saying that by preventing men from entering into the women's locker room and flashing themselves you

00:25:09.580 would be uh putting women girls in a harm's way with child predators i mean i couldn't even like 0.97

00:25:16.640 my my brain couldn't even i i still can't grasp exactly what the point they're making is it didn't

00:25:23.180 make sense but again uh to the point it's a very hard argument for them to make yeah i mean i i don't

00:25:29.420 even it doesn't make sense where they're saying it and i think that's why the american people on

00:25:33.380 november 5th overwhelmingly uh put in president trump and put the republicans back in charge of

00:25:39.840 of congress because they it doesn't make any sense their arguments are so absurd and also inconsistent

00:25:49.000 that you sit there and you go i i don't i don't know what planet they're walking on do they just

00:25:54.480 expect for us to believe every word they say that there's no reality on earth except what they say

00:25:59.580 becomes truth and and like you said the character attacks they just don't stick anymore we saw that

00:26:04.940 this week it didn't even take them 24 hours uh since president trump took office to to already start

00:26:10.760 again with the the nazi hitler stuff people see through that people know that elon musk is is maybe

00:26:16.960 like a a neurotypical he calls himself autistic right like people see through that we've had enough and 0.74

00:26:24.280 so uh by all means i guess keep doing it have you seen the videos of tim waltz

00:26:29.580 all right yeah tim waltz doing this and throwing his hand out just like i mean you can't see it on

00:26:34.160 video but i mean he was doing the exact same thing he tim wager either way with both hands or he would

00:26:40.040 do this whole heart you know hell hitler look if that's what you want to say they didn't say anything

00:26:46.620 about that oh and then probably he did it yeah so i mean last thing for you what are some other

00:26:52.620 priorities for you uh this congress well the our the most important thing that we have is we've got to

00:26:59.400 reel in uh we've got to reel in government we got to get government working for the people

00:27:03.940 again and that means that the over regulation that's stymie in everything that we do and bringing

00:27:09.200 up cost is a huge focus so when when you start talking about what do we have to get and get

00:27:15.380 accomplished first and foremost and this sounds pretty wonky but we have to get permit reform in

00:27:20.800 because without permit reform it's very hard to build infrastructure and you can't build factories

00:27:25.360 you can't get the permits done to put in the factories a real quick example we have a company

00:27:30.400 wanting to come into the united states right now that makes 70 of the antibiotics in the world

00:27:35.000 at one time the the united states made over 90 of the antibiotics today we only make less than one

00:27:40.680 percent now that's a huge national security risk because god forbid that if we were to have to go to

00:27:46.860 war again antibiotics is kind of important and who makes 80 of the world's antibiotics right now is china

00:27:52.540 so if if we could bring this one company in it'd be great this one company was told it would take

00:27:58.560 seven years and over a billion dollars if they could even get permitted i i was personally working

00:28:04.360 on this case and of course that was underneath the obama administration we have to change that with the

00:28:08.740 trump administration if you want to start talking about inflation bringing inflation down you can't

00:28:12.400 bring inflation down unless you bring energy costs down because energy is the backbone of our economy

00:28:18.680 you cannot produce a product or deliver a product without factoring in the energy cost it takes

00:28:24.720 to do both so you have to go after that well one of the big things is how do you get that product

00:28:31.160 and how do you get the the natural gas how do you get the crude and how do you get the refined products

00:28:37.120 from point a to point b meaning from from from concept to delivery it without pipelines and we have been

00:28:44.720 getting one pipeline after the next after the next denied by these agencies uh and definitely

00:28:51.380 underneath the the biden administration our supply and demand is growing because our population base is

00:28:56.620 growing and we have to put more pipelines in the ground you just have to this most efficient way to do

00:29:01.160 it is through pipelines if you want to take it through truck and through rail that's fine but then

00:29:05.300 once again delivery costs is factored into that um and then when you start talking about our our national

00:29:10.860 debt there's a lot of things that can be done with that but it's becoming where it's not sustainable

00:29:16.180 so you have to really get into the national debt part of it i think there's a unique way that we can

00:29:22.220 do this and and i'll be quick because this gets boring and people you lose people when they don't

00:29:26.880 i mean if you're not into this you lose attention span i get it i do the same thing it's like swirl

00:29:31.580 but when uh when you start talking about um how can we bring down the national debt well just

00:29:37.320 just just an off the wall idea right you start looking at saudi arabia uae the cutaries you start

00:29:44.440 looking at some very wealthy oil uh countries and yet the united states has more reserve oil than

00:29:52.700 and then any other country in the world but you start looking at these other countries that are very

00:29:56.760 wealthy countries why it's because they own the energy that the um that their sovereign nation 0.85

00:30:05.080 is is is in in trust of and then they can take royalties off of that well we have a tremendous

00:30:12.240 amount of public land that um and i'm not talking about private people's land i'm talking about public

00:30:18.220 land so i own a lot of land and i own the mineral rights on that so if there's mineral rights coming

00:30:23.520 out of it i get i get a percentage of that i get royalties off of it we take public land and we just

00:30:29.200 simply sell the permit and whoever buys the permit off of it drills it and they get they treat it just like

00:30:34.520 they own all the reserves to it well if we were to keep the royalties to it rather than selling the

00:30:39.380 permit but we actually join in a partnership because it's it's it's the american taxpayers

00:30:44.480 um uh uh oil and gas if we were to actually grab it and start using it as a um and we were to start

00:30:52.840 using it as uh maybe a possibility to pay off the debt and all royalties go directly to the debt

00:30:59.060 we could start paying that off much faster than anything we could ever do by cutting spending

00:31:03.640 so it's just if you say what i'm looking working on that's kind of stuff that i'm working on yeah

00:31:08.100 well these are things that i think your average american doesn't necessarily think about uh but it

00:31:13.780 certainly affects uh having my husband is a contractor he he's a builder he does all that stuff so

00:31:20.340 dealing with the permit process even here in a conservative well i know it well i i know the trouble

00:31:26.500 that we've had building our own house we've got lots of land so so all this it it matters it affects

00:31:31.700 real people and like you said policy matters because people matter uh so very grateful for

00:31:38.320 for you for everything uh that you have done uh for the stands that you have taken i know that

00:31:44.280 lots of lots of craziness uh has ensued on capitol hill uh especially with with this week you've got

00:31:51.780 the march for life all all the senate confirmations uh so i just appreciate you taking the time to

00:31:56.940 talk with with me uh my listeners uh and i would love to shake your hand when i'm back in dc

00:32:02.500 we will definitely meet up absolutely maybe i can get my wife and maybe my girls up here too 0.70

00:32:11.420 they might break they might break my knuckles no no they're they're just they're sweet little

00:32:16.820 girls until they get on the mat that's it that's it well um i appreciate you and for being a fantastic

00:32:22.540 dad like i said that video struck a chord it really did because i know your daughter uh she'll remember

00:32:28.720 that that experience that moment for the rest of her life so creating that core memory is is um i think
