00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
00:00:09.260 So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.
00:00:16.640 Make sure they're all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
00:00:22.380 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.
00:00:29.300 Let's get it.
00:00:59.300 lane to lane on I-75, almost hitting other drivers multiple times and leading to several 911 calls.
00:01:05.220 The Florida Highway Patrol says the driver was Newman Asimov, who lives in New York but is
00:01:09.660 originally from Uzbekistan. Asimov allegedly told the trooper he'd been drinking buzz balls.
00:01:14.240 After several deadly crashes that police say were caused by truckers who were in the country
00:01:19.440 illegally with these CDLs that investigators say they should have never obtained. Two vital bridges
00:01:24.220 along the Alaska Highway are looking at being replaced after federal officials announced more
00:01:28.420 than $100 million in funding. The two bridges spanning the Johnson and Gerstle Rivers between
00:01:34.720 Delta Junction and Toke were constructed during the 1940s, built to last 50 years. A year ago,
00:01:41.200 Secretary Duffy outlaid a strategy to modernize the air traffic control system, moving away from
00:01:47.000 the copper lines and the floppy disks and paper strips that were in all of our 318 FAA facilities
00:01:55.040 and moving us more into the 21st century.
00:01:57.680 And so today we get an opportunity to talk about how we're progressing
00:02:00.560 in terms of restructuring and revitalizing air traffic control systems across the country.
00:02:05.820 And so as we've gone through this conversation with the American people,
00:02:10.780 we have committed to being radically transparent.
00:02:15.120 We are going to tell you where we are, where we're going.
00:02:19.080 Are we on time? Are we ahead of schedule? Are we behind schedule?
00:02:23.160 So America can follow the progress of a build that's critically important for their safety, but also for the efficiency of the airspace.
00:02:34.820 And I think as the greatest country on Earth, the most technologically advanced country on Earth, our people deserve the most technologically advanced air traffic control system.
00:02:46.900 And that's what we are going to deliver for the American people.
00:02:53.160 well ladies and gentlemen welcome aboard today's edition of human events daily we're here live
00:02:58.520 it's april 21st 2026 anno domini as you can see we're not in our usual studios we're actually in
00:03:05.240 the command center of the united states department of transportation and we're sitting with the
00:03:11.000 commander or secretary if you will of that department secretary sean duffy so how are you
00:03:16.920 man i'll take commander that's great great to have i mean it's a command center so i feel like
00:03:20.920 The commander, you know, tell us a little bit about this room that we're in right now.
00:03:25.240 What is this spot?
00:03:26.340 This actually is the command center.
00:03:27.660 So the FAA has its own command center if there's aviation incidents.
00:03:31.120 But everything else, you can't see now, but we have, we actually pull up all the flights, all the shipping traffic.
00:03:39.980 And if there's incidents that happen outside of aviation, this is the command center in which we all come to respond out of this facility.
00:03:49.580 So it's, by the way, it's new, but the way technology changes, like all this stuff has to be updated.
00:03:57.200 I mean, I'm looking at, you know, some of this, it's reminding me of being in Navy intelligence sitting in here.
00:04:01.580 Because, I mean, you have the, I can see you've got the flight, you know, the air traffic control, the different regions.
00:04:06.900 And then over there, I don't know if we can even show this because, I mean, it's not classified.
00:04:10.800 But, folks, we've got the full Stratohormuz.
00:04:13.040 So, obviously, we've been talking about that on my show and, you know, everyone for quite some time.
00:04:17.060 And you guys are right on top of it.
00:04:18.420 You're tracking all the transportation, all the shipping, everything.
00:04:21.980 Obviously, it's international, but you've got American and American-flagged, American-insured ships that are going through there as well.
00:04:27.340 No, we do.
00:04:27.800 So, again, American sailors.
00:04:30.440 So we'll track if there's a real incident. 0.74
00:04:33.620 You saw with East Palestine. 0.78
00:04:34.980 Of course. 1.00
00:04:35.240 This is the command center for that.
00:04:36.840 Or when the Francis Scott Key Bridge goes down, this is the command center for that.
00:04:41.260 That was shipping and roadways.
00:04:44.040 But, again, this is the heart of crisis.
00:04:48.420 and we don't like to use this because that means we don't have crises and our
00:04:52.800 job is to do all we can to make sure that everything runs well and safely and
00:04:57.500 hopefully we don't have to use it.
00:05:01.300 It's a big country a lot of these systems are out there and so it's
00:05:04.240 incredible to see and you know I have to get some b-roll shots of this for
00:05:08.140 for later because the way you have these systems here it's it's it's pretty
00:05:11.920 remarkable and it's not exactly the you know sort of 1970s 60s technology that
00:05:17.580 we're used to seeing. And when we look at some of the FAA stuff, which we'll get into it. We have a
00:05:22.380 little break, but I want to get into it. What you see here is newer technology. And you mentioned
00:05:27.060 the FAA. And again, this is the FAA equipment. You'd be shocked to see how it operates because
00:05:32.300 this is state of the art compared to what we use in aviation. And by the way, the system is
00:05:38.420 incredibly safe. We have great air traffic controllers. We have great pilots. Everyone's
00:05:43.020 well-trained, but the system on which they all run is really old.
00:05:47.240 And by the way, just welcome to the command center, welcome to D.O.T.
00:05:49.280 Thank you.
00:05:50.280 No, I appreciate it.
00:05:51.280 Thank you.
00:05:52.280 You know, with my boys at home, we were watching Artemis and I was like talking to them about
00:05:58.080 that.
00:05:59.080 Wasn't that cool?
00:06:00.080 So cool.
00:06:01.080 And no, we're going back to space finally.
00:06:02.080 Right.
00:06:03.080 And, you know, they wanted to get more interested in it, so I was showing them some of the old
00:06:07.800 Apollo movies.
00:06:08.800 There's a great documentary, Apollo 11, and we're looking at the old mission control
00:06:13.000 right from houston and i was thinking in my mind that wow this is the real deal for what we are now
00:06:19.300 but then in some cases you know you're looking at the level of technology they had and their
00:06:23.400 computers are basically you're just you're just kind of typing you're not really actually connected
00:06:26.920 to real systems it was like a modern day calculator it was a calculator yeah really i mean
00:06:30.120 how smart they were to actually do what they did yeah you got neil and and uh i guess uh mo collins
00:06:36.100 and basically on a joystick you know point point for the white thing and then you point for the
00:06:40.280 blue thing on the way back a hundred percent but um but but even nasa if you you look at how old
00:06:45.740 some of their systems are uh and i think that there's a there's a lot of fumes off of the
00:06:50.740 apollo program and even the shuttle program right then we had this this time frame in which we got
00:06:56.340 wrapped around the the axle of safety and we all listen you got to be safe in everything we do but
00:07:00.240 we need that but now it's but if you're pushing towards innovation secretary we're coming up on
00:07:03.960 a quick break though because that is going to be a great segue into explaining how we can be safe
00:07:09.680 but also have the advanced technology and revamp these systems for the 21st century.
00:07:14.520 Right back, Jack Posobiec, Secretary of Sean Duffy, Department of Transportation,
00:07:17.980 here on Human Events Daily. Right back.
00:07:25.060 We'll stand in our way, and our golden age has just begun.
00:07:29.320 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:31.100 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:35.540 Welcome to the second American Revolution.
00:07:44.640 All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back.
00:07:46.880 We're in the command center, this incredible modern command center of the Department of Transportation,
00:07:52.740 sitting down with Secretary of Transportation, Secretary Duffy.
00:07:55.860 And Mr. Secretary, when we last left, we were talking about sort of modernization,
00:07:59.820 and I sort of made this connection.
00:08:01.700 It's like going from the Apollo program to the Artemis program.
00:08:04.800 And when you look at the different systems, right, if you just look at the rocket, it might seem kind of similar.
00:08:10.700 But when you look at the different systems and everything behind the screen, if you will, you see it's that Elon Musk edge.
00:08:21.320 It's that SpaceX kind of edge. It's that new level of innovation because we're in the computer age now.
00:08:26.100 And so that's what you're trying to bring across the board to FAA, to air traffic control. Walk us through that.
00:08:32.240 So, first, you have to break this cycle of, again, everything we do is about safety.
00:08:36.020 And when I was at NASA, NASA is about safety and FAA is about safety.
00:08:40.180 But if you let safety drive everything, you'll chain up planes.
00:08:44.340 You'll chain up rockets.
00:08:45.440 Like, you know, who's going to get on a rocket if, like, it's 100% safe?
00:08:49.640 Like, there's a risk getting on a rocket.
00:08:51.780 That's a balancing act.
00:08:52.440 It is.
00:08:53.620 And you do everything you can to drive that safety, but there is risk in all we do.
00:08:57.120 and getting these institutions to think we take calculated, very calculated risks,
00:09:03.820 but we have to do that.
00:09:04.620 And so I saw that at NASA, but with the FAA, everything is old.
00:09:10.980 And so to update every aspect of it, we're using copper wires.
00:09:15.100 We have to go to fiber.
00:09:15.820 We're analog.
00:09:16.300 We have to go to digital.
00:09:17.580 I mean, I don't know.
00:09:18.160 You probably didn't see this, but we have.
00:09:20.000 So think of a calculator, right?
00:09:21.880 It can fit in the palm of your hand.
00:09:23.280 But 50 years ago, the compute power of that calculator was half the size of this room.
00:09:29.260 And so our radar are like massive, old, you know, like cabinets from the 60s.
00:09:36.440 And now they're sleek, slim.
00:09:38.920 The technology has evolved so much.
00:09:40.400 So the Congress gave us $12.5 billion.
00:09:44.620 We are deploying this, we got it six and a half months ago.
00:09:48.220 We have this massive build underway.
00:09:49.880 This is, I mean, 10,000 man hours.
00:09:52.480 We have all these contractors that are participating, really smart companies that are helping us
00:09:58.100 think through how we do it.
00:10:00.200 And one of the issues we have is 25 years ago, the FAA promised to do what they call
00:10:06.080 next gen, basically get rid of the floppy disks and the paper strips and redo it all.
00:10:11.040 And the Congress gave them billions of dollars.
00:10:12.840 You know what they built?
00:10:14.720 Nothing, like virtually nothing.
00:10:16.600 Where'd the money go?
00:10:18.540 a lot of conferences and studies and philosophies and let's study it again and it was never deployed
00:10:25.100 and so there's a lack of trust and so to come out today and say you gave us the money you put some
00:10:30.940 faith in us and actually we've already we've already laid and replaced 50 of the copper
00:10:36.780 to fiber we did more in one year than the last administration did in four like it's happening
00:10:42.060 and happening fast this will be done this part of the bill will be done by uh the time trump
00:10:47.420 company's office. I mean, that's that's incredible because, you know, and I remember, you know,
00:10:53.040 you're, I think, day one on the job. You know, there was this horrific incident at at Reagan
00:10:58.340 National. And I think that's what kind of sparked a lot of the conversation, at least in the modern,
00:11:04.800 you know, this year, really, the last year that, you know, going from that, hey, you know,
00:11:09.880 what can we look at in terms of the system? What can we look at in terms of optimization and
00:11:14.540 updating to prevent something like that from ever happening again.
00:11:17.300 So I didn't realize how old it was.
00:11:19.400 That prompted the president and me to say, let's look at what we have.
00:11:22.860 And what we found is, again, we're using radios from the 70s and 80s.
00:11:27.980 And there's a lot of static.
00:11:28.980 There's a 1970s radio, like the crystal clear communication you get from a modern radio.
00:11:36.660 Like none of this was updated.
00:11:38.480 So first we had to identify the problem, which was like, everything's a problem.
00:11:42.560 Everything is old.
00:11:43.680 And then we had to develop a plan on, well, how do you actually build a brand new air
00:11:47.540 traffic control system?
00:11:49.300 And we gave that to the American people less than a year ago, and we're already well on
00:11:53.420 our way.
00:11:54.420 But here's the key.
00:11:55.420 So you can build all this infrastructure, but have a new telecom, new fiber.
00:11:59.920 That doesn't change the experience of you when you fly.
00:12:02.720 Or a new radar, that doesn't change your experience.
00:12:05.680 Or moving from a paper strip.
00:12:06.840 By the way, controllers, if we're going to pass an airplane off from one controller to
00:12:11.000 the next. They pass a paper strip from one controller to the next. We're going to digitize
00:12:15.540 all that. The magic of what we're doing is when you get a new software system, right?
00:12:21.780 So think of, you're too young for this, but think of Windows 95 or Windows XP, these really old
00:12:28.460 software systems that you could write Word documents and have Excel spreadsheets on.
00:12:34.200 And how far we've come in 25 years with AI tools and technology has just radically changed.
00:12:39.760 Well, we haven't updated the system in 25, 30 years.
00:12:42.200 So if we do new software, so think of this.
00:12:45.180 In a 10 o'clock hour, we have a capacity, let's say it's of 100, of departures and arrivals.
00:12:53.540 Well, in that time frame, we're going to have 150.
00:12:56.120 Well, if you schedule it that way, well, of course, you're going to have delays.
00:12:59.220 You're going to have massive congestion.
00:13:00.840 You're going to have gridlock.
00:13:03.740 And so if we can now see that with these simple tools, we can spread the flights out and go,
00:13:09.360 well, maybe we should have some flights leave a little bit earlier, 3, 5, 7, 10 minutes earlier,
00:13:13.780 and some flights leave 3, 5, 7 minutes later, and we can spread that congestion out.
00:13:20.080 All of a sudden, you don't see the delay.
00:13:22.020 Or we can see in this system that two airplanes are in the air and they're two hours from now,
00:13:29.160 we see that they're going to conflict.
00:13:32.260 Well, two hours before that with AI tools, we can give notice to the controller,
00:13:36.560 hey, change the flight path slightly of one of the airplanes,
00:13:39.960 and two hours before it would happen, they will de-conflict them.
00:13:43.660 And so the tools make the job of the controller so much easier,
00:13:46.880 and it's going to drive safety, and it's going to drive efficiency.
00:13:49.840 The only problem I have is the Congress was very specific in how I have to spend the money,
00:13:55.200 and none of the money is for software.
00:13:57.840 So I'm starting to develop it.
00:13:59.240 We pulled money out of couch cushions, and we've pulled the change out,
00:14:02.320 and we've given money to three amazing companies that are developing this.
00:14:06.060 By the way, you can't buy this off the shelf.
00:14:08.420 This is developed technology for us, right?
00:14:13.080 But the Congress has to give me the additional money.
00:14:16.280 We don't want the software fix to be done five or ten years from now.
00:14:20.140 You want that fix done today in conjunction with this other build of the infrastructure
00:14:25.640 that's going to run the national airspace.
00:14:27.900 so the idea being then that that allocation was very specific when you got it was for the build
00:14:33.080 but what you're also looking for is for this new software updates you can actually run everything
00:14:37.300 in a new way and i and and so i can't fix the weather for you or i can't fix um that you might
00:14:44.680 have a a mechanical issue with your airplane but i can fix the congestion that happens in the
00:14:50.220 airspace and by the way so if you think of like this is one of the like this this department which
00:14:54.360 which probably a lot of people don't think about it this way,
00:14:56.920 but the greatest, newest technology outside of AI is all coming through DOT.
00:15:03.140 So think of drone deliveries.
00:15:05.500 Drones can be used for war, but the economics of drones is very real.
00:15:10.540 The Evitols, the human drones, these massive, these are going to come online,
00:15:15.800 and it will change the way that people move.
00:15:19.920 We're at the cusp of bringing back land-based supersonic flight,
00:15:23.480 So a supersonic fight from L.A. to New York in two and a half hours?
00:15:30.340 Every time I fly by somewhere and I see the Concorde just sitting propped up, I say,
00:15:36.320 we had something so great and so cool, and we just gave it up, and why, why?
00:15:42.400 This new technology, the sound waves, and how the computer-
00:15:45.560 It was too loud, yeah.
00:15:46.560 It's too loud, right?
00:15:47.560 It'll shatter windows, but what they'll now do is they can get the right speed at the
00:15:51.240 right altitude, and those sound waves will come down and they'll bounce off the atmosphere
00:15:56.780 before hitting the ground.
00:15:58.620 So if you can do it in a way that the wave doesn't hit the ground, it'll bounce off before,
00:16:03.740 you can have supersonic flight over land, which is what we're looking at.
00:16:06.800 This isn't aviation, but the whole autonomous vehicle revolution where you see what Waymo
00:16:12.860 is doing or what Tesla is doing, it'll, again, I don't know about you, but I look at people
00:16:17.420 that drive and grab their phones when they're driving.
00:16:19.540 distraction that happens Jack you see it the distraction you see it will save
00:16:23.860 lives and it's going to change the way so all this new technology is coming
00:16:27.700 through transportation people's products it's all gonna modify over the next 5
00:16:33.160 7 10 years now I saw a commercial or an ad a recruitment ad that was kind of
00:16:39.880 interesting you're talking about new technology any people who understand
00:16:42.880 technology to be able to you know to access it and and to to control it did I
00:16:48.340 Did I see something where you guys are trying to recruit gamers to run these systems?
00:16:52.980 So moms and dads across the country were like, finally, my son or daughter has been training.
00:16:59.340 You know, obviously you're a family man as well, but I remember my mom and dad saying,
00:17:03.680 you play those games, you don't come out to anything, there's no career with this.
00:17:07.100 Yeah, so here's what we've talked about.
00:17:08.100 Walk me through the logic on this.
00:17:09.100 Yeah, so we have, you don't have to have to be a college graduate to be an air traffic
00:17:13.140 controller, right?
00:17:14.140 There's some minimal requirements.
00:17:16.720 What we did is said, listen, we polled 250 of our students at our academy, and out of the 250 students polled, all but three of them were gamers.
00:17:28.820 They're all gamers.
00:17:30.160 And so if you think of gaming, you're dealing with multiple issues at the same time.
00:17:34.480 You're problem solving.
00:17:37.760 So what they do as they're gaming, it's also a lot of what a controller is doing, managing different screens and different conflicts,
00:17:45.360 and they're communicating with airplanes.
00:17:47.860 So we put out an ad.
00:17:49.040 We had like 2 million views.
00:17:52.640 We had, we crushed the record.
00:17:56.720 So in 24 hours, we had 12,000 applications, double what the prior record was.
00:18:03.040 So 12,000, most of those are qualified.
00:18:06.000 We're sending them off to the skills training test as well.
00:18:09.760 But we want the best and the brightest.
00:18:11.520 And if gamers are good at air traffic control, well, man, let's get the best gamers to come and control our airspace.
00:18:16.800 It's not a game at all.
00:18:18.640 But the skill sets developed.
00:18:20.440 Man, if they can help us control the airspace, and I can encourage really bright young people to come in, that's what I want.
00:18:27.140 The last starfighter, right?
00:18:28.360 It reminds me of that one.
00:18:30.080 Yeah, that was a good one.
00:18:30.800 It's not a game.
00:18:31.560 What do you mean it's not a game?
00:18:33.640 Yeah, I mean, but it had a point, right?
00:18:36.720 But there was a point to it that said, if you could be good at this, these skills possibly
00:18:42.260 could be translated into other things.
00:18:45.240 And why not give it a shot?
00:18:46.700 So I think that's really cool that you guys are looking at that.
00:18:50.980 So coming up on a quick break, I want to get into that.
00:18:53.760 I want to also ask you about CDLs and some of the work that you've been doing there.
00:18:57.040 Incredible work, by the way, my audience is very interested on that.
00:19:00.220 We're sitting down with Secretary Sean Duffy here in the Palatial Mission Control Center
00:19:06.160 Because it feels like I'm in Mission Control Center.
00:19:08.080 It's Command Center, but to me, it kind of feels like Mission Control Center.
00:19:10.720 Right back to Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:19:17.200 You talk about influences.
00:19:18.920 These are influences.
00:19:20.800 And they're friends of mine.
00:19:23.180 Jack Posobiec.
00:19:24.720 Where's Jack?
00:19:25.640 Jack.
00:19:26.760 He's done a great job.
00:19:28.060 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live with Secretary Duffy here in the Department
00:19:37.800 of Transportation.
00:19:38.800 Mr. Secretary, I've got to ask you this question.
00:19:41.280 We get asked it constantly.
00:19:42.280 When I told people that I was going to be coming here today, our whole audience was
00:19:45.560 asking this question of CDLs and the people driving these big rigs on the highway.
00:19:53.880 And something's changed where I remember, even as a kid, you see a big rig and you do
00:19:59.020 the toot-toot thing and the guy does it back.
00:20:02.100 Actually when I was growing up, my dad was a big CB radio guy.
00:20:06.720 So he kind of caught the wave when it really got popular in the 70s and he kept it going.
00:20:11.760 And we always had a CB radio, so we're always talking to the drivers and it was a great
00:20:16.940 thing.
00:20:17.940 It was just that kind of camaraderie of being out on the open road from Pennsylvania.
00:20:22.260 a lot of road trips now it seems that that whole camaraderie and and you know thinking
00:20:30.320 that you can trust those trucks it it seems like it's broken quite frankly and now we're
00:20:35.180 finding out in many cases that people are driving those things that either don't have
00:20:39.880 the training don't have their respect for others on the road or shouldn't even be in
00:20:44.820 this country in the first place huge problem you've been dealing with it talk us through
00:20:50.160 what you found so you see these these crashes that are happening across the
00:20:54.960 country and oftentimes they're with drivers who should never have a driver's
00:20:58.140 license and just so there's a broader problem in trucking where over the last
00:21:02.160 10 20 years you've seen a lot of fraud come into the space and it was just a
00:21:07.860 lot of format and we're trying to root that fraud out but to your point the
00:21:13.140 last administration what they did is said okay we're gonna bring all these
00:21:18.180 people into the country, right in, whether it was 12 million, 15 million, however many
00:21:23.000 people Joe Biden let into the country, a lot of the states then would say, well, what's
00:21:28.420 a great way to work?
00:21:29.540 Well, let's have you drive truck, which by the way, Americans drive trucks too.
00:21:33.440 Yes.
00:21:33.720 And you're taking jobs away from great Americans because you're competing with someone who
00:21:38.860 is cheating the system.
00:21:40.100 And so the problem is the last administration said for the CDL schools.
00:21:45.860 Well, it's good money.
00:21:47.020 Well, it is good money.
00:21:47.940 or it was good money until these people came in and they'll sleep in their cars or in their trucks
00:21:53.860 and they'll mess with the hours of service and they'll drive more than their hours of service.
00:21:59.700 So if you follow the rules, you can't compete with the guys that are breaking the rules and the laws.
00:22:03.320 But what they did is they said, okay, well, you can self-certify that you have a commercial driver
00:22:07.960 license school that meets our standards. Like what? So what happens is it's like the learning
00:22:13.120 center in minneapolis right you have people that you will go like this give me a thousand dollars
00:22:18.400 i'll give you a certificate that you completed the coursework to you know have the knowledge
00:22:22.480 for it to be a commercial driver um you in in these schools they didn't have a curriculum
00:22:27.840 they didn't have any trucks for any drivers any of these students to to drive so they get to the
00:22:32.800 school they pay for it and then a lot of states will um outsource the testing of a commercial
00:22:39.200 driver. And if you don't do oversight over the third party testers, you can pay off the tester
00:22:46.220 as well to then give you a license and you never went to school and then you get in an 80,000 pound
00:22:51.980 big rig and you hit the road, which is insanity. We have longstanding rules that say you have to
00:22:58.060 be able to speak English to a drive truck because if you crash, you need to be able to talk to law
00:23:02.940 enforcement, what's on your rig. You have to understand road signs. And I've had, under the
00:23:09.180 Barack Obama era, they basically made it a slap on the risk if you violated that rule. We brought
00:23:13.560 real penalties back. But then in our states, we said, hey, listen, someone has to meet the criteria
00:23:20.880 to get, they're called non-domiciled CDLs, their commercial driver's license for foreigners. 0.96
00:23:26.940 We said, hey, you've got to follow the rule of states. So for instance, California and New York
00:23:32.520 were the worst offenders, if you were in the country illegally, on occasion these states
00:23:36.640 would give them a commercial driver's license.
00:23:38.300 And you're here illegally, right? 0.85
00:23:40.260 Number one. 0.58
00:23:41.260 Or you're going to be legally here for another two months.
00:23:44.120 New York will give you a commercial driver's license for eight years.
00:23:49.580 So we just said, hey, follow our rules.
00:23:51.700 Go back and review these licenses that you've given out.
00:23:54.700 And California fought us at the start.
00:23:56.260 We pulled multiple tranches of money from California.
00:23:59.800 They've now decided to come into compliance.
00:24:01.880 But as we pulled, we did an audit of New York, 53 percent of their non-domiciled or commercial
00:24:09.740 driver's licenses issued to foreigners were issued illegally or contrary to our rules.
00:24:14.500 I'm sorry, 53 percent.
00:24:16.340 53 percent.
00:24:17.340 More than half they've unlawfully given.
00:24:22.000 And so we usually give them 30 days.
00:24:24.600 I gave New York four months.
00:24:25.600 I go, hey, come on.
00:24:26.600 I got this way to comply.
00:24:28.540 Because if you get a commercial driver's license in New York, you don't just drive
00:24:31.620 in New York, you're driving through Pennsylvania and you're driving across the country.
00:24:35.520 So you endanger all Americans.
00:24:38.220 And they basically told me to pound sand.
00:24:40.700 So we just pulled $73 million.
00:24:43.780 We will eventually pull more money from the state of New York.
00:24:47.140 And if they don't come into compliance, what I'll eventually do is I can pull their ability
00:24:51.760 to issue commercial driver's licenses.
00:24:54.400 But this is just good government.
00:24:55.400 Like, you should say, well, having safe roadways, having, you know, well-skilled drivers on
00:25:00.880 the roads, like, that's good policy.
00:25:03.400 That's good government.
00:25:04.400 Like, I don't speak liberal, so I don't understand, like, I don't, I don't understand why they
00:25:09.940 would want an unqualified driver who is here unlawfully to be on American roads.
00:25:16.520 Like, that makes no sense to me, Jack.
00:25:18.520 No, the level of care isn't there.
00:25:20.560 at my home state in Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, just as bad in terms of this, and there's
00:25:25.800 been incidents.
00:25:26.800 And, you know, they respond and say, oh, and every time, oh, this is so horrific, it's
00:25:30.620 so terrible.
00:25:31.620 But they don't follow through.
00:25:33.120 And it'd be nice to say, hey, let's partner together.
00:25:36.860 This is not a, there's a lot of partisan issues that-
00:25:39.220 How is this left and right?
00:25:40.220 There's no left and right here.
00:25:42.000 There's absolutely none.
00:25:43.440 It's just about safety.
00:25:44.440 Well, except the side of the road you're supposed to be driving on, which occasionally
00:25:47.500 they have issues with.
00:25:48.500 But but I think they think they're serving the the the undocumented legal community in the marginalized of the world.
00:25:56.420 And we're, you know, but when you hurt your own citizens, when Americans die on the way to church or on the way to Walmart because of one of these drivers, that's a bridge too far.
00:26:06.140 And what's happened for our truckers, and by the way, they're the most rabid ex-users.
00:26:11.960 I get a lot of feedback from the trucking community.
00:26:14.220 I love it. Big podcasters. Well, good.
00:26:16.100 That's awesome.
00:26:17.240 But I get good feedback from them. 1.00
00:26:19.980 But because these foreigners aren't following the law, they're driving down the rates and 1.00
00:26:27.520 the pay for the actual great Americans who are making a great living to support their 1.00
00:26:32.060 families.
00:26:32.520 They now can't make a living.
00:26:34.180 And so we are working overtime.
00:26:37.480 And it takes time.
00:26:38.360 We're working overtime to make sure we have the right rules in place to support them.
00:26:40.720 Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for sitting down with us.
00:26:44.460 And I look forward to seeing the next video game competition.
00:26:48.780 I'm sure you'll be holding here.
00:26:50.140 Maybe the vice president.
00:26:51.220 I don't know.
00:26:51.900 Get involved.
00:26:52.860 But thank you for joining us here at Human Events Daily.
00:26:54.500 Thank you for having us.
00:26:55.080 This is great.
00:26:55.660 This is really great.
00:26:57.540 Be right back.
00:26:58.300 A little bit more here at the Department of Transportation.
00:27:00.880 Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:27:02.520 Give him a follow.
00:27:03.280 Secretary Duffy on X.
00:27:05.360 You can find him everywhere.
00:27:11.600 Where is Jack?
00:27:12.620 where's jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:27:19.020 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always
00:27:26.480 talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys who be getting
00:27:31.420 all right folks we're back live here human events daily real america's voice and folks
00:27:42.020 We're doing the sit down here at the Department of Transportation.
00:27:44.660 We're going to have some other guests coming along very shortly.
00:27:46.880 But before that happens, I've got to tell you something.
00:27:49.280 I have a message for you, and I'm going to be blunt.
00:27:51.640 Because before the crashes, the stock market crashes of 99 and 2008, what did we see?
00:27:57.540 A rare market signal.
00:27:59.760 And what was that?
00:28:00.440 It was something that most people ignored, but the smart money did not.
00:28:03.860 Gold and stocks were rising at the same time.
00:28:06.620 And that is not normal.
00:28:08.080 Stocks are supposed to rise when confidence is strong.
00:28:10.580 Gold rises when confidence starts to break.
00:28:14.160 They move in opposite directions until something underneath the system is off.
00:28:19.240 And now they're both breaking records again.
00:28:22.360 This has only happened twice before major market repricing events.
00:28:27.000 Does that mean it crashes tomorrow?
00:28:28.280 Not necessarily, but it does mean that risk may be dangerously mispriced.
00:28:33.600 Gold doesn't surge because it's popular.
00:28:35.940 It moves when currency confidence weakens.
00:28:38.220 Debt explodes, and central banks prepare quietly behind the scenes.
00:28:42.220 Here's what should get your attention.
00:28:44.200 Banks are buying gold at record levels right now.
00:28:48.220 They're not guessing.
00:28:49.460 Gold does not depend on earnings.
00:28:52.040 It doesn't depend on credit markets.
00:28:53.980 It doesn't depend on political promises.
00:28:56.540 Stocks do.
00:28:57.400 If you have a savings or retirement account, you don't get a do-over.
00:29:00.800 This is about protection, not speculation.
00:29:03.740 Call 844-577-POSO or visit protectwithposo.com.
00:29:09.460 That's 844-577-7676 or protectwithposo.com.

00:29:25.040 Remember, that's protectwithposo.com.
00:29:28.640 So, folks, we're here with the Department of Transportation.
00:29:31.680 It's an incredible day that we've been having.
00:29:34.500 And this is something, guys, when it comes down to everything that we've been talking about, folks know.
00:29:40.340 And remember that when we used to do thought crime with Charlie Kirk, they would get on Charlie so much because what did he talk about?
00:29:47.720 He talked about DEI when it comes to air travel.
00:29:52.040 And he said, look, I don't want to have a pilot that was some DEI hire.
00:29:56.920 Now, the whole media lost their mind over this.
00:30:00.000 Barack Obama brought it up, even in the wake of everything that happened in September.
00:30:04.100 But let's go back to what Charlie was actually talking about.
00:30:07.280 He was talking about, we want the best of the best.
00:30:10.860 And that includes pilots.
00:30:12.660 That includes air traffic controllers.
00:30:14.540 That includes anyone who's involved with keeping your plane in the air
00:30:19.400 and making sure your plane gets to the destination that it is supposed to in a safe manner.
00:30:27.340 You'd think that after all these years that we would have gotten to the point where something like that is simple.
00:30:33.340 But unfortunately, because government's involved in many of these cases, there's so much go along to get along that happens, and they don't do what they need to do.
00:30:44.480 And then you start adding ideology on top, whether it's DEI, whether it's illegal aliens like we see in the CDLs, or fraud like we see with so many of the migrants coming over, Somali migrants, Asian migrants, whatever it is.
00:30:57.380 Bangladesh migrants that I've seen a couple of times in some of these crashes, it all needs to stop. 0.75
00:31:03.400 And so when the secretary was here talking about good government, that's what he means. 1.00
00:31:07.300 He's talking about ending the free ride, whether you're from another country or someone who just shouldn't be in the job to begin with,
00:31:16.240 because you don't have the qualifications, you've got to go, because jobs like this are no-fail. 0.50
00:31:21.900 These are no-fail missions, whether it's air traffic controllers, whether it's CDLs, whether it's pilots, et cetera, et cetera.
00:31:28.160 It's really that simple.
00:31:30.200 And this isn't something where we have the opportunity or we have any bit of leeway to play these games.
00:31:35.340 Or, oh, we want to get it looking a certain way, when you want to have a certain quota of hires.
00:31:40.840 No, no, that's not how it works.
00:31:43.060 You want safety.
00:31:44.560 Because when you have safety, you can have trust.
00:31:47.720 And you need to put safety as your top priority.
00:31:50.800 safety performance excellence real standards here at the Department of
00:31:55.780 Transportation you know when we talk about these things we're talking about
00:31:58.600 our airways we're talking about our roadways we're talking about our
00:32:00.820 railways East Palestine right when you have software that is 50 years old you
00:32:07.460 have people who don't know how to operate things you have systems that
00:32:11.080 don't even know how to talk to each other well guess what that's when you
00:32:14.540 have problems that's when you run into what we used to call the collapse of
00:32:19.840 of complex systems and the collapse of complex systems is a huge issue in the united states and
00:32:25.600 it's something that we saw all throughout the biden administration we saw east palestine we
00:32:30.160 saw crashes we saw all of it happening over and over and that's why and people say oh you know
00:32:36.240 department transportation you know maybe not maybe not gets as much attention as the department of
00:32:41.200 war the department of state but when you actually look at the day-to-day issues that are focused on
00:32:47.520 Americans, your basic quality of life. It really is those transportation issues. And when the
00:32:53.780 secretary was here, he also talked about the innovations in automated driving that are coming
00:32:57.980 up, the innovations in whether it's driver assist or whether it's driver aid, those come in as well.
00:33:07.640 I believe our guest is here. We're very excited. Hey, Jack. Congressman White, how are you? Let's
00:33:11.680 get you mic'd up here and then we'll get it all set up because you know I was just kind of talking
00:33:17.880 about the secretary was just here incredible you know incredible situation and he was talking about
00:33:22.740 the need for revamping so many of the systems that the Department of Transportation has and I
00:33:29.640 understand your relationship obviously with the secretary and you know when it comes down to it
00:33:33.860 we're talking about safety and excellence right this isn't a left versus right issue is it
00:33:39.000 It is not. Secretary Duffy is a great leader, great communicator. And really, we have made a
00:33:45.300 huge investment. I mean, today we talked earlier and with the announcement this morning and really
00:33:50.820 investing a lot of money into air traffic control. And, you know, whether that's pulling off the,
00:33:56.280 you know, the copper wires and turning them into fiber and just totally revamping the way we do
00:34:02.440 air traffic control and great leader, happy to support him and will continue to support
00:34:07.040 him in all of the initiatives. We have also a resurface authorization coming up this year. I'm
00:34:12.240 on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, but it's great to have a strong
00:34:16.080 leader and a strong Department of Transportation. Is that like resurfacing runways? Well, it's
00:34:19.880 basically concrete and asphalt. What we're doing, it's highways, it's airplanes, it's water.
00:34:26.380 Funny enough, I have a friend who's in that business. Oh, really? Yeah. Actually, he does
00:34:32.640 the the pressure washing for for the surfaces oh cool yeah but you know the highway bill or the
00:34:38.600 resurface off is really concrete and asphalt and really what we're doing is getting away from
00:34:43.020 you know the old way the past administration where you had a lot of woke projects focusing
00:34:48.040 on bike trails and dei initiatives where you know that's gone we're focused on concrete and asphalt
00:34:54.740 and really you know taking care of the infrastructure everybody uses in our country and
00:34:58.540 everybody uses highways. Everybody uses roads. Whether you make $15 an hour or you make $1,000
00:35:03.840 an hour, it's the common good. And that's why I think transportation infrastructure is a great
00:35:09.580 committee. And it's great, again, to have a strong secretary like Secretary Duffy.
00:35:14.560 Well, it is. And, you know, there are times where people say like, oh, it doesn't always
00:35:17.780 drive the media. I was just saying it doesn't always drive the media narrative as much until
00:35:22.060 there's a problem. And then all of a sudden someone says, hey, how come this wasn't taken
00:35:25.720 care of. And that's kind of where you're coming in, isn't it? Exactly. And especially as it relates to
00:35:29.980 aviation, you know, is it safe now to fly? Yes, it is safe. But we need to be the best in the world.
00:35:36.920 And that's what the secretary talked about this morning and have the best technology, the best
00:35:41.660 software to make sure that we are not only safe or efficient and we have great experiences when
00:35:47.580 people are flying in our country. And that's exactly what we're doing. No, we need it. And,
00:35:51.680 And people were, I've kind of made this crack where I said, you look at the Artemis program
00:35:57.680 and it's as incredible as it is, but then you go to the FAA and it's like they're using
00:36:01.200 Apollo era equipment sometimes and these air traffic control offices.
00:36:05.140 And not to say that it's not safe, but it's like, guys, maybe we could do a little better
00:36:08.080 here.
00:36:08.640 Exactly.
00:36:09.240 I mean, they're literally writing down the air traffic controllers, and these are some
00:36:13.460 of the smartest people I've ever met.
00:36:15.380 They're literally writing things down and handing them off or sliding down tubes.
00:36:19.840 I mean, it's it's an antiquated system. It's certainly safe. And these are these are great, great people that are doing it.
00:36:25.880 But again, we're going to make this investment to make it not only safe, but more safe, but efficient.
00:36:31.140 Having I'm a prior Navy officer. And so, you know, you go on some of these ships that have been they've been at sea since the 70s.
00:36:39.400 And you see these systems, you see the technology on them and you say, wait a minute, this is what we're using.
00:36:44.660 that it just seems that, you know, you come out of your civilian life
00:36:48.440 where you've got smartphones and laptops and all the rest,
00:36:51.920 and then you go into, in my case, the military, you go on a Navy ship.
00:36:55.260 Even some of our aircraft carriers, that's starting to change over.
00:36:59.500 But even some of the older aircraft carriers,
00:37:01.400 you're looking at systems that are just so incredibly outdated,
00:37:06.400 and you realize we're putting, or had been, you know,
00:37:09.700 putting our national security in the hands of these systems
00:37:13.360 that, you know, are just so much older than anything that we would use on a regular basis.
00:37:17.880 It's great that we also have a president now that is such a strong leader that, you know,
00:37:22.640 not only from an aviation perspective, I mean, people have been talking about our antiquated
00:37:26.560 aviation for 25 years and nothing's been done. But now as you go over to from a national defense
00:37:32.200 perspective and, you know, he's committed and our president is committed to having the best
00:37:37.240 in our armed forces and using all the technologies that are available to make sure that that we're
00:37:42.740 the strongest armed forces in the world.
00:37:45.260 Obviously, that's the peace through strength mentality,
00:37:47.380 but it does take strong leadership.
00:37:49.580 And thankfully, we have a strong president.
00:37:51.560 Absolutely.
00:37:52.100 A quick second because I'm getting a message.
00:37:54.340 We are about to go to a break.
00:37:56.300 We'll be right back here.
00:37:57.340 Human Events Daily.
00:37:58.800 We're live doing today's show at the Department of Transportation.
00:38:02.160 Right back.
00:38:06.140 This is the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour.
00:38:08.380 I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro
00:38:11.420 would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobiec.
00:38:14.340 And that is, I'll be honest.
00:38:22.680 All right, really excited to be here with Congressman Tony Wyde
00:38:25.900 from the great state of Wisconsin.
00:38:28.520 Congressman, so we're here at the Department of Transportation.
00:38:30.780 We're talking transportation issues, but one of those issues,
00:38:33.200 because we were just talking about this, had to do with driver's licenses
00:38:37.340 and particularly CDLs.
00:38:38.860 But another huge piece of legislation that is directly involved in all of this and has to do with how states distribute and hand out those licenses is the Save America Act.
00:38:50.420 And, you know, I keep hearing that it's stalled in the Senate.
00:38:53.500 Can you give us an update on where exactly we are on this?
00:38:56.180 Because I hear it from our audience every day that we need to get this thing out.
00:38:59.480 I think it's the most important piece of legislation that we can do right now.
00:39:03.080 And I'm glad in the House we passed this.
00:39:05.700 We passed this legislation multiple times.
00:39:08.260 and it's it's a common sense thing some states are already doing some measures
00:39:13.360 that that are working but there's a lot of states in our country that don't and
00:39:16.720 what it requires is that you are a citizen to vote and you have to show
00:39:21.220 your ID to vote it's very I don't know getting on an airplane yeah getting on
00:39:25.500 an airplane or renting a hotel you know maybe you're grabbing a rental car
00:39:29.380 anything without you if you want to shovel snow in New York you have to get
00:39:34.300 I mean, it's completely common sense.
00:39:37.540 Look over 80% of people agree that you should be a citizen to vote and showing an ID just
00:39:42.340 simply just shows that you're a citizen.
00:39:45.820 And so I don't understand what could possibly be the hold up.
00:39:49.540 The House, like I said, has gone alone.
00:39:51.540 Republicans have gone alone, but we passed it and sent it to the Senate and it continues
00:39:55.400 to get held up in the Senate.
00:39:57.420 It's something that has to get done.
00:39:58.860 I think it will absolutely save our country calling on the Senate to do whatever it takes
00:40:04.040 to get that done, and whether that's working with the filibuster, whatever the technicalities
00:40:10.000 are.
00:40:11.000 But it's what America wants, and if 80 percent of Americans want it, it needs to get passed
00:40:15.440 through the Senate.
00:40:16.440 And, of course, the president will sign it right away.
00:40:18.480 He's certainly made it a high priority for legislation, he's made it a high priority
00:40:23.780 for the administration, as well as in terms of the legislative agenda.
00:40:27.900 The one big beautiful bill, that got passed, took some lifting, got it done.
00:40:32.660 The Save America Act is something, to your point, it really speaks to this idea, and
00:40:37.840 I think for a lot of people, especially in our audience, when they see this, they say
00:40:40.840 that it's like when the American people want something so much and they can't get done
00:40:47.520 in Congress, this is why people think that there's something wrong with our politics
00:40:53.820 where special interests or whatever group you want to describe it to are able to get
00:40:58.060 in and somehow kill pieces of legislation like this that are so popular, yet they have
00:41:04.280 their own reasons for not wanting them put across the board.
00:41:07.160 Right.
00:41:08.160 And I think over, I think the polls are showing over 70% of those that vote Democrats are
00:41:13.760 in favor of you being a citizen to vote in our country.
00:41:18.140 What an honor and a privilege it is to be able to vote, that we live in a free society,
00:41:22.100 the greatest government ever with the constitutional republic.
00:41:26.760 It does not make any sense to me unless it's strictly political.
00:41:30.560 Maybe that is what it is, right?
00:41:31.640 It's political.
00:41:32.640 They don't obviously feel that it would be good for Democrats in the election.
00:41:37.740 And so that's got to be why.
00:41:39.460 And this creates a census issue as well, isn't it?
00:41:41.580 It does.
00:41:42.580 Yeah.
00:41:43.580 So it's a common sense issue.
00:41:44.580 It has to get passed.
00:41:45.580 Again, I think it's the most important thing.
00:41:46.580 I really hope that there's got to be some mechanism in the Senate to get that passed
00:41:51.340 because, again, I think it's the most important thing that we can do right now.
00:41:54.080 And then you look at, obviously, Virginia has their fight, which is going on today.
00:41:57.620 You look at it because it seems like when it goes to the Democrat side of the House,
00:42:01.720 they're directly focused on apportionment.
00:42:05.060 They're focused on census.
00:42:06.200 They understand the game.
00:42:07.220 They understand the system.
00:42:08.280 In any cases, they made the system, right?
00:42:10.120 This is, you know, conservatives, you're not always a systems thinker.
00:42:14.240 You're focused on innovation.
00:42:15.840 You're thinking of going ahead.
00:42:16.440 But you're not thinking of how can I game the system to, you know, give myself an unfair advantage.
00:42:24.180 That's not a conservative way of thinking, is it?
00:42:26.420 Right.
00:42:27.020 And I was looking at if you're here in the D.C. area, you see commercials on TV.
00:42:31.880 And the way the commercials are for, they're calling it the fair maps.
00:42:36.100 And they have people on there that are talking about.
00:42:37.920 The lobster.
00:42:39.240 You've seen the lobster, right?
00:42:40.340 The lobster district they're doing. 0.98
00:42:41.420 It's ridiculous. 0.87
00:42:42.180 Yeah, that's, I mean, it's anything but fair. 0.75
00:42:44.280 It could very well go to a 10-to-1 map, but the way the ads are written, it's just so underhanded.
00:42:51.300 Since I've been here in the area, Barack Obama is all over the ads, Spanberger's out there.
00:42:56.980 And to your point, the way it's written, and I believe the way it's written on the ballot as well, it's all about fairness.
00:43:01.140 It's absolutely tricking people.
00:43:02.640 There's no question, because you would vote to say, well, no, I want fair maps.
00:43:05.620 But in reality, vote for it, it's definitely not a fair map.
00:43:09.840 It does not give a representation of the voters in Virginia.
00:43:13.720 So that's a that's a good example. Right. And so I use that as an example to say that when when they get in power, what do they do?
00:43:20.400 They game the system or they change the system so that it gives themselves an unfair advantage.
00:43:25.640 It's the same thing with the Save America Act. It's the same thing with the way apportionment works when it comes to the census as well,
00:43:32.360 because they're counting illegal aliens in so many of these districts. So what do they do?
00:43:36.840 They don't enforce these areas, so sanctuary cities then get these massive, overblown representations of people who aren't citizens in the first place.
00:43:46.160 To your point, that's got to be the only agenda, right, is to have people voting that shouldn't be voting in order to win elections.
00:43:53.740 That has to be, because I cannot find any other logical reason why Democrats in Congress would not want people to show an ID or be a citizen to vote in the federal elections.
00:44:03.960 It does not make any sense unless it's political.
00:44:05.480 I've got to give him legal immigrant, by the way, Elon Musk.
00:44:09.200 He's talked about this on Rogan.
00:44:10.740 He's talked about this all over the place to say that if these fixes are not made,
00:44:15.820 that we could very quickly find ourselves in a situation where we have one party control of the government.
00:44:21.240 Yeah, we will.
00:44:21.980 And you know what will happen if that were to happen?
00:44:24.040 And, you know, we go into the minority and Democrats go into the majority.
00:44:27.500 It's going to be nothing but chaos here on the Hill.
00:44:30.260 It's going to be for never ending impeachments.
00:44:32.440 It's going to be all about chaos.
00:44:34.200 And it's really all about politics and continuing to have control and manipulating the system.
00:44:38.680 That's the way I see it.
00:44:39.740 And I've only been here a little over a year.
00:44:41.880 And that's exactly what I'm seeing right now from the other side of the aisle.
00:44:45.620 We did, I think we have a couple minutes left, right, guys?
00:44:51.180 Going that?
00:44:52.780 Okay.
00:44:53.400 And you did mention that.
00:44:55.460 And we have seen a number of, so I released a video a couple weeks ago about one of your
00:45:01.560 former Congressman, Congressman Eric Swalwell, and we've heard that there are some more expulsion
00:45:07.080 votes that are possibly in the works. Have you been read in on that? Are you focused on that at
00:45:12.120 all? Well, right now we have one that went through the ethics committee and that that'll be coming up
00:45:17.460 through the committee. Yeah, yeah, that's gone through the ethics committee and I think we'll
00:45:20.060 have the final. Yep, exactly. That'll be coming up soon and I'm looking forward to taking a look at
00:45:25.720 that. I think it should go through the ethics committee on these types of situations and then
00:45:29.960 we'll be, you know, obviously taking a vote on it. But I think people are sick and tired of the
00:45:34.320 corruption. They're sick and tired of the people that are representing them acting in, you know,
00:45:38.200 these heinous ways. And, you know, Representative Swalwell and Gonzalez are too. I mean, those
00:45:44.020 types, you can't act like that and represent our country. And I'm glad they resigned, but we need
00:45:50.040 to get these people out that are acting like this and get back to doing business. People need good
00:45:54.940 leaders and people want good leaders and that's what people um deserve to have so i'm glad they
00:46:00.480 left and i'm looking forward to uh a vote here on and looking at the findings through the ethics
00:46:05.040 committee look and when it comes down to it you know i i understand people say oh well you know
00:46:09.660 we because you know obviously you know it's a tight majority but at the same time if we don't
00:46:14.700 have the ethics if we don't have these uh these these standards that we hold ourselves by then
00:46:20.000 then what was the point of any of it what point i mean you have to come into this and you got to
00:46:24.260 act trust where you just earn the trust of the people that are in your district. And that's what
00:46:29.100 I said coming into this. And that's what drew me here. I continue to see people that I didn't
00:46:33.840 believe. I think they were lying to me, whether that's in Congress or working for the government,
00:46:38.240 hit an all-time high during the COVID, you know, during the way the government handled that in
00:46:43.960 such a terrible way. That's what really drew me to this and motivated me that people need good
00:46:48.820 leaders that are going to tell the truth. And Congressman, tell people where they can go and
00:46:52.520 follow you and get more information about everything you're doing what you're putting out
00:46:55.520 well thanks so i'm on all the the social media channels uh rep tony weed and uh just honored
