HOW ABOUT THAT?
THAT’S MY RIFF TONIGHT.
JOINING ME NOW, TWO GREAT
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, CLAUDIA
TENNEY OF NEW YORK AND BETH VAN
DUYNE OF TEXAS.
LADIES, YOU’RE VERY KIND TO COME
ON.
WE ARE HONORED AND WE APPRECIATE
IT.
BETH, I’LL START WITH YOU WITH.
WITH THE COMMITMENT TO AMERICA,
DO I HAVE THIS ABOUT RIGHT?
IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE LET’S GET
THE INFLATION RATE DOWN AND GET
THE CRIME RATE DOWN.
THERE’S LOTS MORE HERE, BUT
THOSE SEEM TO BE THE HEADLINERS.
WHAT YOU THINKING?
>> YEAH.
WE’VE ALL GONE BACK TO OUR
DISTRICTS AND LISTENED TO WHAT
OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE TELLING US
IS MOST TROUBLING TO THEM, WHAT
THEY’RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH
THEM, THE ISSUES THEY WANT US TO
ADDRESS IN D.C.
AND THE ISSUES THEY WANT US TO
ADDRESS IS INFLATION, RISING GAS
PRICES, WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE
PUMP.
THEY’RE LOOKING AT WHAT’S
HAPPENING AT THEIR GROCERY
STORES, THEY’RE LOOKING AT THEIR
PAYCHECKS AND RECOGNIZING FROM
THE TIME THAT BIDEN BECAME
PRESIDENT THAT THEY HAVE
LITERALLY LOST ONE MONTH OF
THEIR INCOME DUE TO INFLATIONARY
KANSASS.
WE ARE GET -- COSTS.
WE ARE GETTING BACK TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS AND BRINGING
FORWARD PRAGMATIC SOLUTIONS.
WE’RE TELLING THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WHAT WE’RE COMMITTED TO
DO TO SOLVING THE ILLS RIGHT NOW
THAT THEY’RE FACING AS A DIRECT
RESULT OF POLICIES THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS PUT INTO
PLACE.
LARRY: NOW, CLAUDIA, I’M
COUNTING ON YOU TO CUT SPENDING,
CUT TAXES AND CUT REGULATIONS,
AND I’M COUNTING ON YOU TO GO
BACK TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.
>> WELL, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE
DID WHEN WITH I WAS IN MY FIRST
TERM WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP AS
PRESIDENT AND YOU THERE TO GUIDE
US WITH ECONOMIC POLICY.
THAT’S WHY WE SAW SO MUCH
GROWTH.
WE SAW CUTTING REGULATIONS,
CUTTING TAXES.
NOW WE NEED TO MAKE THE JOB, THE
TAX CUTS AND AND JOBS ACT
PERMANENT.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT REALLY
HELPS A TATE LIKE NEW YORK.
CONTRAST TO REPRESENTATIVE VAN
DUYNE’S STATE, THE FREE STATE OF
TEXAS, WHERE MANY OF THESE
POLICIES ARE ALREADY IN PLACE,
THIS WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS BOOST
TO NEW YORK STATE IN SPITE OF
OUR ONE-PARTY RULE, OUR
REGRESSIVE POLICIES IN MISSOURI,
OUR ANTI-ENERGY POLICIES -- IN
NEW YORK.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY
HELPED US THROUGH PRESIDENT
TRUMP, THROUGH YOUR POLICIES,
AND WHEN I WAS IN THE MAJORITY
IN MY FIRST TERM IN CONGRESS.
SO WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THOSE
POLICIES.
AND THIS COMMITMENT TO AMERICA
IS A ROAD MAP FOR HOW WE DO CAN
THAT, HOW WE GET TO THAT
PROSPERITY, ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
AND MAKING SURE THAT THE
AMERICANS WE’RE VISITING AND
SEEING IN OUR DISTRICTS -- I
JUST SPENT THE WHOLE DAY ON A
FARM TODAY AND, BOY, DID I HEAR
A LOT ABOUT MULTIPLE PROBLEMS
THAT OUR FARMERS ARE FACING
WHETHER IT’S, YOU KNOW, TRIPLE
THE COSTS FOR ENERGY, TRIPLE THE
COSTS FOR D.C. CAN EL,
FERTILIZER -- DIESEL,
FERTILIZER.
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE MAKING
IT VERY DIFFICULT TO FEED THE
WORLD, AND IF WE DON’T HAVE
RELIABLE ENERGY THAT’S
AAFFORDABLE AND CLEANER WITH
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, WE’RE
BOEING TO POTENTIALLY SEE A
PROBLEM EXPORTING THESE AND
SEEING A FOOD SHORTAGE AROUND
THE WORLD IF WE CONTINUE ON
THESE NAIVE POLICIES THAT THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE IN PRAISE IF IN
ENERGY.
AND I POINT TO NONE OTHER THAN
NEW YORK STATE WITH THE HIGHEST
MIGRATION, THE HIGHEST TAXES,
THE LEAST FREE, IN GREAT
CONTRAST TO BETH VAN DUYNE’S
STATE OF TEXAS.
WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT THOSE
POLICIES, AND THIS IS THE PLAN,
THE COMMITMENT TO AMERICA THAT
KEVIN McCARTHY AND THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE PUT OUT WILL BE
THE ANSWER TO BRING HOPE AND
PROSPERITY BACK TO UPSTATE NEW
YORK.
LARRY: YEAH, LISTEN, I THINK
PUTTING LEE ZELDIN IN THE
STATEHOUSE WOULD BE A BIG
BOOSTER SHOT FOR THE AGENDA YOU
JUST DESCRIBED.
BETH VAN DUYNE, LET ME COME BACK
TO YOU.
ALSO IN HERE IS A STRONG
COMMITMENT TO CURB ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
YOU’RE DOWN THERE IN TEXAS ON
THE BORDER.
>> YEAH.
LARRY: TALK TO US ABOUT THAT.
BECAUSE I ALSO THINK THAT MAY
NOT BE THE TOP TWO OR THREE
ISSUES, BUT WITH ALL THE DRUG
TRAFFICKING AND FENTANYL AND SO
FORTH, I STILL THINK THAT’S
HUGE.
>> I THINK YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
WE’RE SEEING MORE FEINT9AL
DEATHS, YOU KNOW -- FENTANYL
DEATHS CONTRIBUTING TO OUR DEATH
RATE.
IT’S THE NUMBER ONE DEATH RATE
FOR ADULTS UNDER 45 IN THE U.S.
RIGHT NOW.
WE’RE SEEING THOUSANDS OF POUNDS
COME OVER OUR BORDERS ILLEGALLY.
WE’RE SEEING OVER 3 MILLION
PEOPLE ENTER OUR COUNTRY THAT
HAVE -- WE CAN ACTUALLY TAG THAT
HAVE ENTERED OUR COUNTRY
ILLEGALLY SINCE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TOOK OVER.
I HEAR ERIC ADAMS IN NEW YORK
COMPLAIN ABOUT THE 1,000 ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS THAT HAVE COME INTO
HIS CITY, A CITY OF 8 MILLION.
YOU LOOK AT McALLEN, TEXAS, A
CITY OF 140,000, THEY HAD #
1,000 IN ONE WEEK.
THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE.
AND BACK WHEN OBAMA WAS
PRESIDENT, WHEN I WAS MAYOR OF
THE CITY OF ERR SPRING, WE WERE
SEEING THIS. -- IRVING.
WE WERE SEEING THE CRIME
INCREASE IN OUR CITIES.
WE GOT A PARTNERSHIP WITH
IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS
ENFORCEMENT THAT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAS STOPPED,
THEY’VE CUT.
YOU CAN’T DEPORT CRIMINALS NOW
THAT HAVE COME INTO YOUR COUNTRY
ILLEGALLY.
YOU CAN’T DEPORT THEM.
WHAT WE FOUND WHEN WE DID THAT
IN IRVING WAS IT BECAME THE
FIFTH SAFEST CITY MT. COUNTRY.
ALL THE TOOLS THAT THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION PUT IN PLACE THAT
ACTUALLY MADE ORDERLY CONTROL9
AT OUR BORDER THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAS
SYSTEMATICALLY GOTTEN RID OF.
AND THEY’VE DONE IT OUT OF
SPITE.
WE’VE SEEN CRIME INCREASE IN ALL
OF OUR CITIES.
EVERY CITY AT THIS POINT IS A
BORDER CITY.
WE NEED TO HOLD MEXICO
ACCOUNTABLE FOR HELPING US SINCE
THEY’RE CROSSING INTO THEIR
COUNTRY, AND YOU KNOW WHEN MIKE
POMPEO WAS SECRETARY OF STATE,
THAT WAS A PRIORITY.
FOR SOME REASON, FROM DAY ONE
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
MORE OR LESS AN OPEN BORDER
POLICY, AND THEY WON’T EVEN GO
DOWN THERE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
SOLVE IT.
AND INSTEAD, THEY ARE IN DENIAL
UNTIL IT’S AT THEIR FRONT DOOR
AND AND THEY CAN’T DENY IT ANY
LONGER.
THIS IS A PLAN WITH THE
COMMITMENT FOR AMERICA THAT WE
ARE GOING TO GIVE RESOURCES TO
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION
THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO
PROTECT OUR BORDERS, BE ABLE TO
HAVE NORMAL IMMIGRATION BECAUSE
THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE
DOING.
THEY’RE GOING TO BE PROCESSING
PEOPLE AS OPPOSED TO ACTING LIKE
BABYSITTERS AND TAXI DRIVERS.
WE NEED THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING
RIGHT NOW IN TEXAS.
LARRY: YEAH.
CLAUDIA TENNEY ALSO, I DON’T
WANT TO LOSE SIGHT, STUCK IN
HERE IS A PARENTS’ BILL OF
RIGHTS, THE IDEA THAT PARENTS
SHOULD REALLY HAVE THE RUN IN
THEIR SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR THEIR
KIDS AND THAT PARENTS ARE NOT
DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.
THAT MAY NOT BE IN THE, YOU
KNOW, INFLATION, CRIME
IMPORTANCE, BUT I THINK THAT’S A
SLEEPER ISSUE THAT’S GOING TO
RESOUND AS LONG AS Y’ALL PUSH IT
WELL IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
NOT SOMETHING THAT’S ON THE TOP
OF THE AGENDA -- THAT’S
SOMETHING THAT’S ON THE TOP OF
THE AGENDA FOR LEE ZELDIN AS
WELL WHO’S ALSO IN OUR
CONFERENCE.
LOOK, I’M A PARENT, I WAS A
SINGLE PARENT.
MY SON ENDED UP DOING GREAT IN
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, BUT OUR
SCHOOLS HAVE CHANGED.
THEY’VE MOVED MORE TOWARDS THE
PUBLIC UNIONS AND LESS TOWARDS
CHOICE.
AND WE NOW KNOW, IT’S BEEN
PROVEN THAT CHOICE WORKS.
GIVING PARENTS A CHOICE TO
DECIDE WHERE THEIR CHILDREN ARE
GOING TO LEARN, TO MAKE SURE OUR
CURRICULUMS ARE WHOLESOME,
THEY’RE LEARNING THE BASICS OF
READING, WRITING AND IOWA RATE
ME TICK THAT WE ALL LEARNED WHEN
WE WERE YOUNGER, AND I THINK
WHAT’S HAPPENED IS THE PANDEMIC
OPENED US UP TO THE REALITY OF
WHAT’S GOING ON IN OUR SCHOOLS.
AND IT’S THE REASON YOU SAW
GOVERNOR GLENN YOUNGKIN COME TO
PLAY, BECAUSE THIS ISSUE CAME TO
THE FOREFRONT.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE’VE HAD THESE
ISSUES IN THE PAST IN NEW YORK
WITH COMMON CORE THAT WE
SUCCESSFULLY THOUGHT -- FOUGHT
OFF.
BUT AGAIN, EVEN ON THE FEDERAL
SIDE SOME OF THESE COMMON SENSE
POLICIES, IF WE COULD GET THEM
ADOPTED, IF WE COULD ALLOW THE
STATES TO HAVE THEIR RIGHTS AND
THE FREEDOM AND PARENTS TO HAVE
THEIR FREEDOM, YOU’RE GOING TO
SEE A MORE VIBRANT ECONOMY
COMING IN THE FUTURE.
AND I’M JUST HOPING PEOPLE SEE
THIS AND REALIZE THERE IS A
CLEAR CHOICE FOR NOVEMBER.
BOTH THE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE
GOING TO BE -- WE’RE GOING TO BE
COMMITTED TO THIS JUST AS NEWT
GINGRICH’S TEAM WAS COMMITTED TO
THE CONTRACT FOR AMERICA.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO FREEDOM,
PROTECTING INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS,
PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY.
AND I’M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
THIS.
I I THINK IT’S GREAT.
I’VE GOT GREAT COLLEAGUES LIKE
REPRESENTATIVE VAN DUYNE FROM
TEXAS.
YOU KNOW, SHE WAS A MAYOR, SHE’S
GOT GREAT EXPERIENCE.
WE WORK TOGETHER AT THE IRON
LADIES, AND WE LOVE WHAT LIZ
TRUSS IS DOING TOO BECAUSE, BOY,
WOULDN’T THAT BE WITH GREAT IF
WE COULD HAVE A PARTNER THAT
UNDERSTANDS COMMON SENSE ENERGY
POLICY?
WHICH IS REALLY WHAT’S GOING TO
HELP BE THE FULCRUM OF GETTING
US OUT OF THE WOES THAT WE’RE
EXPERIENCING AND THIS ENERGY
CRISIS THAT WE’RE EXPERIENCING
THAT ICE AFFECTING EVERYONE
ACROSS THE NATION AND THE WORLD.
LARRY: I THINK IT’S INTERESTING
THAT THE LIZ TRUSS STUFF COMES
UP.
YOU KNOW, THEY ARE -- IT’S A
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP ARE.
THEY ARE OUR LONGTIME ALLIES.
I KNOW THERE WAS A WEE BIT OF
DISAGREEMENT BACK IN THE 18TH
CENTURY --
[LAUGHTER]
BUT WE SHARE MORE IN COMMON THAN
NOT.
BETH VAN DUYNE, I’M GOING TO
GIVE YOU THE LAST WORD.
JOE BIDEN WILL DO ALMOST
ANYTHING, HE’S GOING TO CALL US
NAMES, BASH US -- FASCISTS,
DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, BLAH, BLAH,
BLAH -- HE’LL DO ALMOST MiG
BUT TALK ABOUT THE KEY ISSUES
THAT ARE INSIDE THIS COMMITMENT
TO AMERICA.
>> HE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT
THE KEY ISSUES.
HE DOESN’T HAVE A PLAN FOR THE
KEY ISSUES.
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY’RE DOING
EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN TO
DESTROY AND DEMONIZE AMERICAN
BUSINESS, AMERICAN ENERGY ON THE
AMERICAN ECONOMY, AMERICAN
WORKING FAMILIES.
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE COME
TOGETHER, WE HAVE WORKED ON A
PLAN THAT IS A COMMITMENT THAT
WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS WHAT
THOSE ISSUES ARE.
WE’RE GOING TO LOOK AT SAFETY IN
OUR -- AT OUR BORDER, SAFETY IN
OUR COMMUNITIES.
WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT
ACCOUNTABILITY, HOLDING OUR
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
ACCOUNTABLE.
SHOCKING.
REALLY THAT RADICAL.
WE’RE LOOKING AT RESPECTING THE
FREEDOMS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE
ARE HAVING A FREE FUTURE WHICH
MEANS NOT OVERTAXING AND
OVERBURDENING WITH REGULATION,
YOU KNOW, OUR FUTURE PERFORMERS.
AND IT ALSO MEANS MAKING SURE
THAT OUR ECONOMY IS SOUND,
BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE
SUSTAINABILITY.
AND IN NOVEMBER AS WE’RE MOVING
FORWARD, PEOPLE HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A GAME.
WHEN YOU’VE GOT RUSSIA INVADING
UKRAINE AND NOW THREATENING TO
USE, TO USE, YOU KNOW, WEAPONS
OF MASS DESTRUCTION, WHEN YOU’VE
GOT I CHINA WHO IS LOOKING TO BE
ABLE TO TAKE OVER ALL THE
MINERAL RIGHTS PRETTY MUCH IN
EVERY COUNTRY THAT WE ARE
DEPENDENT ON FOR OUR ECONOMY,
WHEN YOU HAVE ALL OF THIS
UNREST, WHEN YOU’VE GOT GERMANY
RIGHT NOW THAT IS PACING GOING
INTO A WINTER WITHOUT HAVING
ENERGY PRODUCTION, WITHOUT BEING
ABLE TO ACTUALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW,
HEAT, THIS IS NOT A GAME.
AND AMERICANS ARE LIVING THIS
REALITY EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SEEMS
TO BE IN COMPLETE DENIAL OF IT.
BUT REPUBLICANS ARE COMING UP
WITH A PRAGMATIC,
SOLUTION-FILLED PLAN THAT WE ARE
COMMITTING TO AMERICANS THAT WE
WILL ADDRESS CAN THOSE ISSUES IF
YOU GET TO THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER
AND SUPPORT US.
AND I THINK THAT IT’S IMPORTANT
TO LAY OUT WHAT THE PARTY STANDS
FOR AND WHAT WE PLAN TO DO
WITHIN THAT TIME THAT WE’RE MT.
MAJORITY.
LARRY: SO LET ME GET THIS RIGHT,
ON THE SAME DAY -- IT’S A GOOD
DAY, ACTUALLY.
WE HAVE THE MAGNA CARTA ON ONE
SIDE OF THE POND AND THE
COMMITMENT TO AMERICA ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE POND.
[LAUGHTER]
I LIKE THAT.
IT’S A GOOD MIX.
AND WE HAVE PERMANENT TAX CUTS
IN BETWEEN.
ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
