>> THANKS.
JOE CONCHA, CHARLIE HURT.
IT’S PERPLEXING.
NOW AS CONGRESS RAMS THROUGH THE
DISASTROUS 1.7 TRILLION OMNIBUS
SPENDING BILL, WE’RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE EGREGIOUS -- HOW
MORE ABOUT THE EGREGIOUS -- HOW
EBBGREGIOUS THE SPENDING IS.
LITTLE FOR SECURING OUR SOUTHERN
BORDER.
EVEN AS THE CRISIS RAGES ON.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT’S RECKLESS
SPENDING GOES WAY BEYOND THE
OMNIBUS.
SENATOR RAND PAUL DETAILED
NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF WASTEFUL
SPENDING.
ACCORDING TO PAUL, THE NIH SPENT
2.3 MILLION INJECTING PUPPIES
WITH COCAINE.
THERE’S EVIL TO THAT, ISN’T
THERE?
THE SENATOR SAYS THAT OVER $30
MILLION OF COVID RELIEF FUNDS
WERE USED TO BUY LUXURY CARS.
PAUL SAID ASK YOURSELF IN THE
LEADERSHIP OF BOTH PARTIES IS
ALL THAT MUCH DIFFERENT ON
SPENDING OR ENDLESS WARS FROM
BLOATED
BLOATED BUREAUCRACY.
JUST LIKE I’VE BEEN SAYING
AGAIN, IT’S WASHINGTON VERSUS
THE REST OF US WHERE THE
INTERESTS OF HARD-WORKING
AMERICANS TAKE A BACK SEAT TO
THE SPECIAL INTERESTS OF THE
SWAMP.
NOW HERE FOR REACTION.
FORMER REPUBLICAN SENATOR SCOTT
BROWN ALONG WITH THE FOUNDER OF
THE COMMITTEE TO UNLEASH
PROSPERITY, STEVE MOORE AND
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
HERITAGE FOUNDATION, JESSICA
ANDERSON.
THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING ME
TONIGHT.
I THINK THAT RAND MIGHT BE A
LITTLE COY IN ASKING THE
QUESTION IF THERE’S ANY
DIFFERENCE, STEVE MOORE, BETWEEN
THE PARTIES.
THERE’S A UNI PARTY, THERE’S AN
INTEREST IN THE MENTALITY AND
THE CULTURAL SENTIMENT OF
WASHINGTON.
WOULD YOU AGREE THAT IN FACT --
I SENSE THAT THIS ARGUMENT
BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND
REPUBLICANS IS REALLY JUST PART
OF THE THEATER.
THAT THERE’S ONE INTEREST AND
THAT IS GROWING GOVERNMENT,
WHICH REQUIRES OF COURSE A
GROWING CONTENT FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I WANT TO CORRECT YOU ON ONE
THING WHEN YOU SAID THERE’S NOT
MONEY FOR BORDER ENFORCEMENT.
THERE IS MONEY FOR BORDER
ENFORCEMENT.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS.
IT’S JUST NOT TO PROTECT OUR
BORDER.
YOU CAN’T MAKE IT UP.
>> GREAT POINT.
>> IT’S ALMOST LAUGHABLE THE
WASTE IN THIS BUDGET.
MY FRIENDS AT HERITAGE HAVE JUST
LITERALLY SCORES AND SCORES OF
PAGES OF THESE PROGRAMS.
I THINK THIS IS A TOTAL
POLITICAL DISASTER FOR THE
REPUBLICANS, TAMMY.
BECAUSE THEY’RE IN ON THIS.
I’VE BEEN ON THIS SHOW MANY
TIMES BLAMING NANCY PELOSI AND
CHUCK SCHUMER AND BIDEN FOR
THEIR OVERSPENDING.
THEY DID.
THEY OVERSPENT BY $4 TRILLION,
THIS IS A BIPARTISAN HEIST WHERE
YOU HAVE MORE THAN TWO DOZEN
REPUBLICAN SENATORS VOTE WITH
THE DEMOCRATS TO PASS THIS AND
THE REASON THEY DID, TAMMY, IS
THEY WANTED THE PORK BARREL
SPENDING FOR THEIR DISTRICTS.
>> A GREAT REFERENCE TO THE
HERITAGE FOUNDATION.
LET’S GO TO JESSICA FOR A
SECOND.
THIS IS NOT NEW FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
THIS IS -- THEY SAID WE WOULD
GET BACK TO NORMAL, THIS IS
EXACTLY NORMAL.
THIS KIND OF SPENDING, THIS IS
HOW OBAMA CARE WAS PASSED.
I UNDERSTAND THE REPUBLICANS
DON’T VOTE FOR SOMETHING OR VOTE
TO GET IT OUT OF COMMITTEE BUT
ALL VOTE AGAINST IT.
THEN THAT WASN’T THE CASE WITH
THE OMNIBUS WHEN IT COMES TO THE
SENATE.
THE SENATE KNEW THAT THE
REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE THE HOUSE
AND NEXT YEAR.
THEY DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, JESSICA, THIS
MEANS WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT THE
AGENDA OF THE REPUBLICANS ARE
AND WHAT THE NEXT TWO YEARS WILL
LOOK LIKE?
>> WELL, THE ENTIRE PROCESS THAT
ACTUALLY PUT TOGETHER THIS DEAL
HAS BEEN COMPLETELY FRACTURED
AND IS REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW
BROKEN WASHINGTON IS.
SO MANY PEOPLE IN BACK ROOMS
THROUGHOUT THE LAST SIX MONTHS
WERE WRITING THIS BILL.
YOU KNOW WHO WASN’T LOOKING AT
IT?
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WE HAD LESS THAN TWO DAYS TO
READ IT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS
IN IT AND TO PASS IT.
SO THE PROCESS IS A PROBLEM.
BUT THEN AS STEVE MENTIONED, THE
ACTUAL POLICIES THAT ARE IN THIS
PACKAGE IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
OVER 7,200 INDIVIDUAL EAR MARKS
TOTALLING OVER $15 BILLION FOR
THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER ARE JAM
PACKED IN TO THIS OMNI BILL.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR US?
IT MEANS OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS
ARE GOING TO FUND LGBTQ CENTERS
IN NEW YORK AND L.A., CLIMAT
INITIATIVES, NONGENDER
CONFIRMING HOUSES.
A MICHELLE BOMB HIKING TRAIL FOR
$3.5 MILLION IN GEORGIA THAT IS
NOT WHAT OUR AMERICAN TAX
DOLLARS SHOULD BE GOING FOR.
IT’S ASHAME THAT CONGRESS JAMMED
THIS THROUGH RIGHT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.
>> SCOTT BROWN, WE DON’T -- I
SUPPOSE IF A TOWN WANTS A GAY
AND LESBIAN MUSEUM, THAT’S
GREAT.
THEN HAVE THAT TOWN FUND THAT,
RIGHT?
DO A GO FUND ME.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE AMERICANS
DOING TWO AND THREE GIG KIND OF
JOBS TO PAY THE RENT AND TO TAKE
A SECONDARY JOB SO THAT THEY CAN
GET ENOUGH GAS TO BE ABLE TO GO
TO THEIR NORMAL JOB.
WE SEE THIS, THIS VOMITOUS
SPENTING OF TAX DOLLARS THAT WE
ALSO DON’T HAVE.
IS THIS -- ALMOST SEEMS LIKE A
DELIBERATE -- I CAN’T USE THIS
WORD BECAUSE IT’S TELEVISION.
IT’S LIKE A BIG FOAM FINGER HAND
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN A WAY
BECAUSE THAT WE VOTE SOMETIMES
AGAINST THEIR WISHES.
WHAT IS FEEDING THIS MANIA IN
WASHINGTON?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I
OBVIOUSLY WAS THERE.
I SAW IT FIRST HAND.
SENATOR BUNTING HAD THE VERY
SAME TYPE OF DOCUMENTATION THAT
RAND PAUL PUT OUT ABOUT THE
TREMENDOUS WASTE.
BEFORE WE ASK THE TAXPAYERS FOR
MORE MONEY, WE SHOULD GET RID OF
THE FRAUD AND ABUSE IN THESE
THINGS.
WE GO WHAT?
SHOOTING COCAINE IN PUPPIES?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
SEEMS CRIMINAL TO ME BEING AN
ANIMAL LOVER.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT IT REALLY
SHOWS ME IS THAT MITCH McCONNELL
DOESN’T HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN
OBVIOUSLY -- I DON’T THINK HE
WILL GET IT, BUT McCARTHY.
HAD THEY DID A SHORT TERM
CONTINUING RESOLUTION, THEY
WOULD HAVE HAD A BETTER SHOT TO
GET A BETTER BUDGET.
IT SHOWS ME THAT McCONNELL IS
MORE LIKELY -- FEELS BETTER TO
WORK WITH SCHUMER AND THE
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS THAN WORK WITH
HIS OWN PARTY.
THAT’S VERY SAD.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SENT THE
HOUSE MEMBERS TO GET A HANDLE ON
OUR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
ISSUES.
THE INFLATION IS OUT OF CONTROL.
THE HEATING OIL IS STILL OUT OF
CONTROL.
I WENT TODAY AGAIN TO GET SOME
EGGS.
$1.82 SIX MONTHS AGO.
IT’S $5.89.
PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON ARE
CONTINUING TO SPEND AND SPEND.
PEOPLE NEED TO GET INVOLVED.
ENOUGH.
ARE WE DONE ALREADY WITH THIS
STUFF?
THIS IS LIKE THE LAST CHRISTMAS
AS YOU SAID, THE FINGER SAYING
HEY, WE’RE HERE.
TOO BAD.
LIVE YOUR BORING LIVES.
YOU KNOW, COME ON.
WE NEED TO WORK TO RECTIFY THESE
PROBLEMS.
>> Sean: THEY FORGET WHAT GOT
THIS COUNTRY TRUMP.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE BEHAVIOR.
IT’S AS THOUGH NOW THEY’RE
STANDING ON THE HILL SAYING WE
WON, WE GOT YOU.
WE GOT HIM.
LOOK, WE’RE NOW GOING TO DO THIS
AGAIN.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
VOTE OTHER PEOPLE IN.
WE ALL HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE
STABILITY OF THIS COUNTRY.
THIS IS JUST -- DOESN’T SEEM TO
