00:00:48.400 welcome back to firebrand we are broadcasting live out of room 2021 of the rayburn house office

00:00:58.820 building here at the capitol complex in washington dc we've got the uniparty moving massive spending

00:01:04.620 bills with a ton of waste can't wait to talk about that also out in california if you can believe it

00:01:10.120 they're actually extending even more benefits to illegal aliens we've got great news in the state 1.00

00:01:15.180 of florida where our friend state representative joel rudman is advancing sound second amendment

00:01:20.460 policy so that gun owners have the opportunity to purchase firearms lawfully in our state without

00:01:26.120 these background checks in any way delaying that lawful access of rights and to talk about all of it

00:01:31.840 i've got my very good friend from pennsylvania scott perry joining me scott uh has been in congress how

00:01:37.240 many terms now i think five i think five yeah it's some days it feels like a minute some days it feels

00:01:44.620 like a lifetime scott perry is the former chairman of the house freedom caucus someone who is a mentor

00:01:49.500 of mine and always can be found ensuring that we've got less spending he's been a true warrior to try to

00:01:56.440 close the southern border and really to use leverage and that's what we're here to talk about scott you

00:02:01.180 know you have led the freedom caucus a lot of the conservative leaning members both in and out of the

00:02:05.900 freedom caucus look to you for leadership and what we saw on the floor of the house today was an

00:02:11.180 abomination a spending bill was moved with all the democrats with a majority of republicans no debate

00:02:19.020 no debate uh it had overwhelming support i don't think we got a hundred no votes against it they

00:02:24.120 worked it really hard to make sure that they they that as many people voted for it as they could

00:02:29.600 possibly get they worked it really hard how would you describe the spending bill that just passed

00:02:34.420 obscene um look it's devastating to the country people might not realize it we're we're at about

00:02:42.940 a hundred days 120 days we're we're spending a trillion additional dollars every 120 days it just

00:02:49.600 keeps getting faster and faster we just went uh 34 trillion between january or december and january will

00:02:57.100 be at 35 trillion by may people say well why should i care you know you guys just print the money what

00:03:03.340 does it matter because if you can't afford your meals if you can't afford gasoline if you can't

00:03:07.880 afford your credit card bills your house payment if you're trying to decide between insurance payments

00:03:13.320 or electricity payments it's all caused by what we just did today and and unfortunately there's a

00:03:20.200 whole bunch of folks that will come to your town and run for office and say if you vote for me i'm going

00:03:25.200 to end all that stuff and a whole bunch of them just voted for it a whole bunch and why i mean

00:03:29.960 the the viewers to this program the folks who get these updates see what is happening to the country

00:03:35.540 and they've seen the promises regarding the power of the purse right what is the essential element that

00:03:41.520 you think is lacking in our colleagues to push back against this excessive spending uh yeah i would

00:03:47.300 characterize it as two things one is courage the other is integrity so you always say this is what i'm

00:03:53.380 going to do this isn't the integrity part but there's always some reason look i i got an earmark

00:03:58.920 what we had 6 000 earmarks in this half of the bill and this half so earmarks used to be gone

00:04:04.580 well they were here then they were gone now they're back again and so they're buying votes 0.99

00:04:08.140 with earmarks did you have a favorite earmark in this bill well that was the stupidest craziest 0.79

00:04:13.040 thing that there's a lot to choose from that's a big that's a pretty big menu matt uh the one in 0.80

00:04:18.240 pennsylvania that senator casey and senator senator fetterman originally um supported was for 0.97

00:04:25.600 some building where they were having as i understand this i don't know um gay sex parties 0.92

00:04:31.980 and we're going to spend a million dollars on that and then they came out afterwards and said well hold

00:04:37.520 on a second we don't support that so pennsylvania so did that receive a lot of support from like the

00:04:42.200 pennsylvania dutch community like where where is the constituency in the in pennsylvania for the public

00:04:48.420 funded erotica is it a senator casey priority is it a senator fetterman priority well it was one of

00:04:54.700 their priorities until it wasn't one of their priorities so what this was for those of you who

00:04:59.500 are watching there is some lgbtq community center in pennsylvania and these senators sought an earmark

00:05:07.100 to give them extra funding for their operations million dollars and the libs of tiktok account went

00:05:11.980 and found what some of the planned activities were there and they were bdsm activities and you know

00:05:18.280 bring your handcuffs and whips and chains and we're not judgers here we're not the bedroom police but if

00:05:22.820 you want to do that stuff you should do it on your own time and on your own dime and there should not

00:05:26.560 be public funding right for that question is is why is there federal funding for this and a whole

00:05:31.080 range of earmarks trails and roads and state things and they might be great projects but what does it

00:05:37.380 have to do with the federal government but they bought the votes with so so integrity um there's

00:05:43.320 always some programming you know i didn't want to vote for the whole thing but this was in here i had

00:05:46.960 to do it because i needed this one thing and then courage you know the the rest of the crews going this

00:05:52.560 way and if we don't do this the only alternative is a shutdown we're going to be accused of shutting

00:05:58.360 down the government let's be clear here 85 percent of the government operates even through a shutdown so

00:06:03.800 we're talking about 15 percent nobody came here not matt gates not scott perry to shut down the

00:06:09.500 government what we did come to do is save the republic and and and if democrats and and i hate

00:06:16.940 to say it some of our friends on the republican side of the aisle if it's worth it to them uh to keep on 0.95

00:06:22.760 bringing in illegal foreign nationals to kill and rape our children such that we don't shut down the 1.00

00:06:28.820 government have a conversation about it then they should defend that but i'm certainly not going to 0.92

00:06:32.960 the chuck schumer center for environmental justice in new york well that's important

00:06:39.340 that's a federal that's a can't you see the federal i just don't understand how they're going to invest

00:06:45.360 a million dollars in the center for environmental justice without enhancing the carbon footprint of

00:06:49.760 the center of environmental justice uh well it's and increasing the carbon footprint in pursuit of

00:06:57.120 reducing carbon is always justified yeah the twin lakes reservoir floating solar project

00:07:03.360 two million dollars for floating solar yeah because we don't want to take up land space so it's okay to

00:07:09.500 take up water space so you get your yeah no in florida people might not know this everywhere but

00:07:13.640 electricity and water are a bad thing well usually you don't like to mix those two yes put them on

00:07:18.380 there so many earmarks you made mention of the funding of the va right uh as a part of this program

00:07:23.500 and i know as a veteran you care deeply about the va we actually want a veteran health care system

00:07:29.740 that that is focused on veterans yeah and and the best health care it was it was designed originally

00:07:35.300 to be the best health care on the planet for veterans that have said they will sacrifice their

00:07:41.940 life for their country that's what it was that was what it was designed or originally envisioned to be

00:07:47.500 i know you know otherwise and and your criticism of our funding of the va includes a critique of us

00:07:54.400 continuing to fund vax mandates right that's exactly right veterans who pledge their lives

00:08:00.360 ought to be able to decide we understand if you've got to get a vaccine to go overseas to fight the enemy

00:08:06.200 and and and make sure that the force is secure and safe in the combat zone we get that here's what

00:08:11.780 we don't get forcing people that are willing to give up their lives to put something that's experimental

00:08:15.980 in their bodies and then throw them out if they refuse to do it that's what we don't get and then

00:08:20.520 and then for the va to force people to go to the va or work at the va to to put something like that in

00:08:26.080 their body so that they continue to go to the va or work at the va is this is this communist a communist 0.58

00:08:32.820 country i thought there's america but we have to fight back against that my frustration is that when

00:08:37.060 we see the va pushing these experimental vax mandates on people we shouldn't we should demand

00:08:43.460 different in order to continue their operations and you know we've got people like mike bost who

00:08:48.760 have oversight capability chairman of the va committee and i haven't heard mike bost once

00:08:52.800 uh offer a a substantive and leveraged criticism of the va such that we could actually change exactly

00:09:00.340 what you say we should push back we should object to that matt gates and scott perry do but you had

00:09:06.240 the chairman of the house armed services committee agreeing with the vax requirements for service members

00:09:11.100 and agree with throwing them out if they didn't do it he was for it gosh it's so frustrating so the va

00:09:16.780 has had quite a week we had the assistant under secretary for health operations issue a memo that

00:09:23.800 canceled the vj day kiss in times square so we are familiar with this iconic image of a u.s service

00:09:31.820 member coming home and getting the kiss of a lifetime and according to this memo our evolving

00:09:38.200 sensibilities around sexual assault should have prohibited the publication of the the vj day

00:09:45.360 kiss now ultimately uh this this was reversed uh kareen john pierre having to eat crow ticklish

00:09:52.280 uh just i want to be really really clear the the va is not going to be banning this photo from

00:10:01.320 uh va facilities i just want to be super super clear about that i know as you just said

00:10:05.760 uh you described it as a kerfuffle uh there was uh obviously some reporting on that i can say that

00:10:11.120 uh i can definitely say that the memo was not sanctioned uh so it's not something that we were

00:10:16.120 even aware of until you all started reporting on it uh but uh we are not banning that photo uh and uh i'm

00:10:23.600 just going to be super clear about that any specifics about the memo and the process over there

00:10:28.500 certainly i would refer to the va so what she didn't say is is that we had every intention of doing

00:10:34.420 that until we got caught right and she said it was unsanctioned which should lead you to believe

00:10:38.920 the truth which is all these people that work in the biden administration do these things because

00:10:44.500 that's what they do they don't have to look for approval they were hired to do this stuff and they

00:10:49.820 do it of their own volition because that's what the administration wants them to do and finally i

00:10:53.640 don't know whether you knew that that photograph was staged right it wasn't like some guy just went

00:10:58.920 on the street and found some random girl who wasn't interested in getting a kiss that was a time 0.94

00:11:03.320 life photo that was actually staged they have no clue these people have no clue what they're talking

00:11:07.680 about or quite honestly the magnitude of the ending of the war with japan on on service members and the

00:11:13.400 country yeah the uh the axiom personnel is policy really flourishes here right because the biden

00:11:21.700 administration they go and find these people and promote these people that are total woketopians right 0.64

00:11:26.780 and then when you get a crazy decision by one of their employees like this they do what they can to

00:11:33.160 distance themselves now in in my district in florida one post-deployment lust actually leads directly

00:11:40.020 to family formation so we don't we don't uh discourage yeah we do not discourage post-deployment

00:11:46.280 lust in florida's first congressional district but uh you know it it does dovetail into these very

00:11:53.120 serious discussions we have about what kind of military we have right now and and what kind of

00:11:58.360 value proposition are we offering young people who made the decision you did to serve talk a little

00:12:03.640 bit about like why you signed up to serve in the military and kind of how you would might see a

00:12:08.640 young person going through that decision making process today well for me i didn't really have a

00:12:13.220 plan coming out of high school you know i kind of grew up like a weed because my family situation i

00:12:18.220 think a lot of people find themselves or you just don't know it's time to grow up and you don't know

00:12:21.800 what you're going to do and i had an opportunity to enlist and and i was always enamored by that

00:12:29.760 service in uniform i i found it to be uh very alluring to me and and i will tell you matt it

00:12:36.240 was one of the it was one of the seminal things in my life in my career that i did um that changed

00:12:43.560 the trajectory of my entire life and it was so great for me i got to do awesome things that people

00:12:49.480 only dream about right i really did and um but i will tell you and i could never imagine wanting

00:12:57.660 to retire i started out as an enlisted guy i went to officer candidate school i got to go to flight

00:13:01.760 school i got to fly all kinds of stuff and do incredible things deploy uh lead troops in battle

00:13:07.880 and all that stuff and i never thought about retire i watched guys and gals retire and i thought well

00:13:12.520 how could they leave what they're so you're the military it reflects you and you reflect it and they

00:13:18.120 always said well you'll know when it's time when i got the um the order from my boss i'm i'm a one

00:13:24.020 star general at the time and he says um one of your jobs one of your duty is to enforce the gender 1.00

00:13:29.540 reassignment policy it kind of took stock in my in my time and in uniform and i said you know

00:13:35.760 i reflect it and it reflects me but it's not reflecting me anymore i i that's not what i stand for i'm not

00:13:43.280 going to force um these people that accept that and uh and so when you can't take orders anymore

00:13:50.020 it's time it's time to go and i look at the value proposition that young people i'm so happy that

00:13:55.420 people are willing to join but i watched a service member in uniform self-immolate in front of the

00:14:03.120 israel embassy in washington in uniform um and then i we looked at his social media feed i don't want

00:14:09.780 to serve next to a communist that hates our country i and and i think that young people that are 0.56

00:14:15.580 smarter looking at it they say yeah i'm not going to pledge my life to serve with somebody that might

00:14:20.720 shoot me in the back because it didn't agree with my political position i think that's the circumstance

00:14:25.960 that we find ourselves in and that's why recruiting and retention is very difficult right now and of

00:14:31.280 course the army and its infinite wisdom when you can't when you can't find people to meet the standards

00:14:36.500 they're just lowering the standard that's not a plan for success against a military like china 1.00

00:14:41.440 or any of our other adversaries that are serious about defeating the united states of america here's

00:14:46.500 what i worry about when people kind of a self-deport from the military as as you're describing and as

00:14:54.100 people of good virtue and patriotic spirit make other choices in their life does that then create a

00:15:00.460 self-fulfilling prophecy in the military where it it veers even harder left i i think it does because

00:15:07.740 what you're left with as as the pot boils down is a concentration of people where you might have

00:15:14.460 different viewpoints when the pot's full but when as the pot as everybody that loves the country that

00:15:20.120 will give their life for the country and wants to serve in a merit-based system that is fighting for

00:15:25.420 the ideals of america when they all leave what is left is those who won't who don't believe in

00:15:30.760 that's all that's left and and with all due respect to my colleagues here they say we got to buy more

00:15:35.160 airplanes and ships and so on and so forth if we don't have the personnel that are willing to

00:15:39.460 put themselves in them and go fight the enemy with their life it doesn't matter how capable the machinery is

00:15:45.480 or how many you have that doesn't matter an army is and a military is based on its people and their

00:15:51.660 beliefs and i guarantee you there's some 15 year old boy in china who's putting a 50 pound back

00:15:56.960 pack on his back and going and marching 15 miles to impress his father that's who we're going to

00:16:02.060 have to face not people that come into our military and say well i've got a different standard of dress i

00:16:08.580 don't like this whole uniform thing so i got to be me sorry it's called the uniform service one form

00:16:14.900 uni you're going to change who you were and now you're going to accept this or and if you don't want

00:16:20.360 to we're good with that then go do something we need car salesmen and insurance people and but if

00:16:25.400 you want to be in the military and potentially uh lose your life defending your country and and making

00:16:31.800 the other person die for their country if you're not into that then you don't belong here you talk

00:16:38.280 about your own life and how the military enriched it so much and i see in my own family and i see in my

00:16:43.740 community so many for whom that has been true and and many for whom that is still true today and we

00:16:50.440 can't ever let that flip where we're going into the military has has the outcome where people become

00:16:57.780 less patriotic less virtuous less devoted to the principles that are central to the american experience

00:17:03.440 we're not there yet but i think we're on the way to i do worry that i agree with you matt i mean it's

00:17:09.160 uh i mean you're a great defender of our military and and you call the balls and strikes and some of

00:17:16.060 our military leaders like we just because they're wearing a uniform doesn't mean they're they're doing

00:17:21.940 the right thing at the right time for the right reasons and that's why we have to right that's that

00:17:26.260 that is the obligation that we feel because that lieutenant or that sergeant or that airman they don't

00:17:32.700 have the ability to question they deserve it it's our duty to do it because they can't right as we say in

00:17:37.460 the military yours is not to question why yours is just to do and die but that's not matt gates and

00:17:42.940 scott perry wearing this uniform ours is to question why that's right and we will continue to do so

00:17:47.840 we've also got troubling reports from the border and what the state of california is doing to draw more

00:17:53.420 people across the border illegally this just in from our friends at the national pulse california

00:17:58.160 lawmakers are now proposing expanding the state's zero down home loan program to illegal aliens that's

00:18:04.780 right so assembly bill 1840 gives zero down home loans to illegal aliens it is a slap in the face

00:18:11.560 to the californians who are already struggling with some of the highest home prices in the nation

00:18:15.840 97 higher than the national average like originally the california dream for all shared appreciation loans

00:18:22.740 was launched in 2023 they put 300 million dollars into that the intent was to help first generation and

00:18:28.800 first time home buyers but the california politicians could not help themselves their bleeding hearts and

00:18:35.160 lack of brains prevailed in this case and in the filing of this bill california has already extended

00:18:41.000 its taxpayer funded health care programs to illegal aliens right now 40 percent of the people in

00:18:46.760 california are on cal med their medicaid product that means every person who is has a job who's paying for

00:18:52.480 their own insurance is having to pay for like 80 percent of someone else's insurance as well and i would

00:18:59.420 say there's not a single entitlement program now in california that somebody is not going to try to extend

00:19:04.600 to illegal aliens all of this comes at a time when housing is unaffordable younger generations are seeing

00:19:10.620 health care costs rise more bankruptcy for the working class and for the first time in america's history

00:19:15.980 future generations expect to be worse off than their parents representative perry how do we deal with 0.93

00:19:22.580 the fact that you've got states like california literally creating the pull factor across our border

00:19:28.820 well i i think i'm a big believer in states rights that having been said the federal government doesn't need

00:19:36.080 to participate and so if california wants to continue to elect leadership that disrespects and has

00:19:43.700 contempt for its citizens i guess that's their business but the federal government should be

00:19:49.720 should should quite honestly we shouldn't be spending a dime in california to make sure that

00:19:54.940 these programs can can continue that if you've got enough money to give zero down home loans to

00:20:00.620 illegal aliens crowding out americans and hard-working people then then you've got it so good 1.00

00:20:07.320 you probably don't need a single federal dollar for anything well they do use federal dollars and if they

00:20:12.240 didn't have them they wouldn't be able to do that but i imagine that california is trying to do whatever

00:20:16.340 it can to um to make up for the loss of people that are disgorging from california right california

00:20:22.560 is finally unfortunately losing population because citizens have had enough of being disrespected and

00:20:29.740 and they're and they're leaving now in droves to arizona like people are leaving right the most temperate

00:20:36.060 climate right boundless natural resources beautiful state yeah oceans yeah mountains vineyards they're

00:20:42.380 leaving that for the deserts of arizona that were so inhospitable they were the last place that the u.s

00:20:47.180 army stopped hunting the mormons and and it is it is because of policies like this and it's a really sad

00:20:53.280 thing and you know uh you're from pennsylvania i'm from florida different than california but we have

00:20:59.540 patriotic americans that live in every jurisdiction and i worry when we just look at a blue state and say

00:21:04.840 oh well a bunch of crazies are running that place like we we leave our brothers and sisters behind 0.89

00:21:09.600 who want to want a good life and deserve it they do deserve it this experiment of 50 individual states

00:21:16.500 will only work if we allow there to be accountability for each individual state well i don't like i don't

00:21:22.540 like and i don't agree with what california is doing to its citizens they keep electing those people

00:21:28.400 and i can't fix that right but what i can do or i can i try to do as a federal guy is make sure that

00:21:34.440 pennsylvania's hard-earned tax dollars don't go out to support that and quite honestly neither

00:21:38.720 do florida as a matter of fact i don't think anybody's hard-earned tax dollars california

00:21:42.720 wants to be crazy god bless them but they should pay for it you've got you and i are going to be

00:21:47.660 getting together after the state of the union we got the state of the union coming up tomorrow

00:21:50.940 at 11 30 on friday uh after the day after the state of the union we're going to be breaking down

00:21:56.960 all of the biden blunders how can folks watch that and keep up with it uh it's going to be on a

00:22:01.900 rumble channel you're the mess what's your rumble channel this is your chance to pitch

00:22:05.320 rep rep scott perry at rumble oh my gosh you're such a boomer sometimes well on the rumble app

00:22:11.980 if you follow the channel at reps i can do things you can't do matt gates many many like a push-up

00:22:17.060 or a pull-up i can't do those things but you still can so so you're going to want to follow that you're

00:22:21.800 going to want to subscribe and turn notifications on scott perry and i are going to be breaking it down

00:22:25.900 what do you expect to hear from joe biden a lot of lying uh a lot of complaining a lot of blaming

00:22:30.540 matt gates they were blaming you this morning on on morning joe by the way oh yes it's it's really

00:22:35.260 my fan club on morning so i i expect on so i find it fascinating that they're telegraphing

00:22:40.880 openly that they're gonna that president biden's going to talk about a reset does he not know that

00:22:45.840 he's been president for three years so he wants to reset his own set and uh so i'll be happy to hear

00:22:53.200 that because he's destroying the country financially he's projecting weakness internationally

00:22:58.540 and if he wants to reset i'm all ears but i want to see what's actually going to change other than

00:23:04.280 the rhetoric he's going to blame us i'm sure he's going to blame president trump for the border crisis

00:23:09.080 who knows what he'll blame you for but uh but i want to know and i think americans the people that

00:23:15.000 i work for the people that are struggling to pay their bills they want to know what reset's going to

00:23:19.600 happen that's actually going to make a difference in their ability to afford you know college or

00:23:24.400 well i guess he's he's kind of already done that right he's he's going to give he's going to give

00:23:28.620 but that's going to make college more expensive right it's going to create a it's going to create

00:23:32.540 a moral hazard right where if you're if you're just a hard-working joe or jill and you want to go to

00:23:37.680 college you're going to see that bureaucracy increase as a consequence of this and ultimately

00:23:43.100 those costs get get pushed everything we subsidize costs more because the people that are being

00:23:47.340 subsidized say well we're going to get their prices raise the prices yeah exactly so it it it will be a lot

00:23:52.640 of that i don't know that octogenarians are best positioned to sell resets like whenever someone

00:23:59.180 over 80 says that something needs to be reset they're usually going through some sort of cardiac

00:24:03.220 conversion uh not not a series of policy changes um but i do think that biden understands that if this

00:24:10.840 election is a referendum on his policies that uh that he will be packing soon they they do he does

00:24:17.360 clearly understand that and i think you know it as well matt i think america does uh so what i expect

00:24:23.240 he's going to do is make it a contest between himself and people like us who is going to who

00:24:29.080 he's going to characterize as destroying democracy and he's going to go back to that hallowed ground of

00:24:34.600 january 6 that they can't seem to leave behind uh and blame all of us for that and try and reinvigorate

00:24:41.840 that and put that for that in the forefront of everybody's minds i i literally think he's going to

00:24:46.480 invoke that in the speech and say right now in the in this place this is where it happened and and

00:24:51.780 these people did it i i guess there are some republicans and some democrats who want to make

00:24:58.040 every day january 6th oh there's you know i believe january 6th was a bad day for the country

00:25:02.600 i don't feel the need to relive it every day and in your district and mine people are more worried

00:25:07.680 about their tomorrow yeah right than joe biden's january 6th but that's all they have to hang on

00:25:12.540 what else what else are they going to what what successes have they had is it afghanistan is it

00:25:18.720 energy policy is it the middle east is it uh is it the economy and jobs what success have they had

00:25:27.040 that he's going to go out and tell us that the state of the union is strong meanwhile all the

00:25:31.640 350 million americans that are living in it are going i don't think so what they want to sell as

00:25:37.600 their success are these bills that have spent all this money but what we have to do is connect that

00:25:42.920 spending to the pain that people are feeling and by the way i think that's why joe biden's

00:25:47.000 underwater right now because people are making that connection for themselves and maybe we don't do a

00:25:52.320 great job of course you have the media which is you know part of joe biden's operation but they act

00:25:57.180 like everything's fine too but i know that the people i represent and i suspect the same same for you

00:26:02.340 they tell me when i'm at the grocery store like ladies yell at me i'm not paying five dollars for 1.00

00:26:07.220 eggs and you shouldn't have to but there it is i'm not paying 750 for a gallon of milk but there it is

00:26:12.200 it didn't used to be that way and literally you know he's talking about he's got sesame street street

00:26:17.560 talking about downsizing product you know cookie monster cookie monster when you've lost cookie

00:26:22.460 monster yeah i think the politics have really gone a negative direction joe biden losing cookie

00:26:28.080 monster we have not lost our true north that is standing up for the constitutional

00:26:32.160 principles that would constrain government constrain its spending scott perry is one of the best in

00:26:36.680 congress a true fire brand a leader a mentor someone we're very grateful to have how can folks

00:26:41.560 follow your work on social media rep scott perry and uh your website what's your website

00:26:46.880 perry.house.gov perry.house.gov all right sign up for scott perry's newsletter go to perry.house.gov

00:26:52.340 it's an honor to have my friend here i do want to update everyone on an important story in florida

00:26:56.880 you'll remember we had a recent field hearing regarding the abuses of atf and state representative

00:27:03.040 joel rudman who comes from the florida panhandle pitched his legislation to stop background checks

00:27:08.560 from impairing people's constitutional rights take a listen

00:27:11.800 as was stated this bill does not prohibit background checks nor does it do away with any

00:27:18.960 waiting periods we don't even remove the three-day waiting period that was added to long gun purchases

00:27:24.720 back in 2018 although i could have i decided against pursuing that after talking to the families

00:27:31.280 at parkland back in october historically ladies and gentlemen when the brady bill was passed back in 1993

00:27:39.280 the fbi was originally given five days to do background checks and that was considered an

00:27:44.800 awfully long period of time back then because every inquiry resulted in a phone call once the nix national 1.00

00:27:52.320 database came online that federal policy changed to three business days which it still remains in fact

00:28:00.720 technology has improved so much over the years that back in 2013 it was democratic senator joe manchin

00:28:08.880 who suggested lowering the federal requirement to one business day for background checks

00:28:16.880 now i'm not even asking for that i'm not even adding a single piece of language to the statute my bill

00:28:24.720 simply removes the one sentence that's causing the issue and allows fdle to use the current three-day

00:28:32.960 background checks procedures that are already in our statute that's right according to existing statute

00:28:40.080 fdle is supposed to give firearm purchases and answer a decision in 24 working hours three business

00:28:47.360 days i repeat it's already in statute my bill simply removes the one sentence that creates the ambiguity of

00:28:56.000 the law florida statute 790.065 which i do not touch says that after three business days fdle must say one of

00:29:06.400 three things you're either approved denied or they have a third option fdle can say we haven't found

00:29:13.600 anything on you in three business days so you can receive your firearm but we reserve the right to take

00:29:20.240 it back and this is how the majority of states operate and this is not risky only four conditional

00:29:29.200 approvals out of every 10 000 background checks nationwide ends up being reversed and those

00:29:38.000 firearms are retrieved by the atf rep escamani asked me friday and she mentioned today about the proper

00:29:44.240 role of the atf not only is it the job of the atf to retrieve firearms from criminals who are disqualified

00:29:52.720 from having them but the atf in my opinion should also do their job and prosecute them while they're at

00:29:58.320 it because these individuals have committed a felony by lying on their background check that's how you do

00:30:05.040 it not by persecuting my law abiding citizens in district three and making them wait six months for

00:30:10.960 their legal purchase but by aggressively going after the criminals who aren't supposed to have these guns in

00:30:18.000 the first place you cannot delay the expression of someone's god-given rights when they've done nothing

00:30:26.320 wrong a right delayed is a right denied mr speaker my idol may have said these famous words back in 1775

00:30:37.120 but they are no less true today i know not what course others may choose mr speaker but as for me

00:30:43.840 give me liberty give me liberty or give me death with that i close

00:30:54.800 the clerk will lock the machine and announce the vote 78 yeas 36 nays mr bigger show the bill passes read

00:31:00.480 the next bill

00:31:03.600 we are back live congratulations to representative rudman for standing up for gun owners we encourage

00:31:08.800 the florida senate to take up representative rudman's good bill and pass it for the good folks in the

00:31:13.360 sunshine state just another thing i want to update you on there's this great project a friend of mine
