=== New Tech for Air Traffic Control (15:08) ===

[00:00:02]  Hey guys, it's Jack.
[00:00:03]  I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
[00:00:09]  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]  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]  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]  Let's get it.
[00:00:34]  This is what happens when the Fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
[00:00:43]  A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
[00:00:49]  This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobic.
[00:00:53]  Christ is king.
[00:00:54]  This terrifying dash camera video shows a semi truck driver swerving from lane to lane on I 75, almost hitting other drivers multiple times and leading to several 911 calls.
[00:01:05]  The Florida Highway Patrol says the driver was Newman Asimov.
[00:01:08]  Who lives in New York but is originally from Uzbekistan.
[00:01:11]  Asimov allegedly told the trooper he'd been drinking buzz balls.
[00:01:14]  After several deadly crashes that police say were caused by truckers who were in the country illegally with these CDLs that investigators say they should have never obtained.
[00:01:23]  Two vital bridges along the Alaska Highway are looking at being replaced after federal officials announced more than $100 million in funding.
[00:01:31]  The two bridges spanning the Johnson and Gersel rivers between Delta Junction and Togue were constructed during the 1940s.
[00:01:38]  Built to last 50 years.
[00:01:40]  A year ago, Secretary Duffy outlaid a strategy to modernize the air traffic control system, moving away from the copper lines and the floppy disks and paper strips that were in all of our 318 FAA facilities and moving us more into the 21st century.
[00:01:57]  And so today we get an opportunity to talk about how we're progressing in terms of restructuring and revitalizing air traffic control systems across the country.
[00:02:05]  And so as we've gone through this conversation with the American people, We have committed to being radically transparent.
[00:02:15]  We are going to tell you where we are, where we're going, are we on time, are we ahead of schedule, are we behind schedule?
[00:02:24]  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]  And I think, as the greatest country on earth, the most technologically advanced country on earth, our people deserve the most technologically advanced.
[00:02:45]  Air traffic control system, and that's what we are going to deliver for the American people.
[00:02:53]  Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
[00:02:57]  We're here live.
[00:02:58]  It's April 21st, 2026, Anno Domini.
[00:03:01]  As you can see, we're not in our usual studios.
[00:03:04]  We're actually in the Command Center of the United States Department of Transportation.
[00:03:09]  And we're sitting with the commander or secretary, if you will, of that department, Secretary Sean Duffy.
[00:03:16]  Sean, how are you?
[00:03:17]  Thank you, man.
[00:03:17]  I'll take commander.
[00:03:18]  That's great.
[00:03:18]  Great to have you on.
[00:03:19]  I mean, it's a command center, so I feel like commander, you know, it's.
[00:03:22]  So tell us a little bit about this room that we're in right now.
[00:03:25]  What is this spot?
[00:03:26]  This actually is the command center.
[00:03:28]  The FAA has its own command center if there's aviation incidents, but everything else, you can't see now, but we actually pull up all the flights, all the shipping traffic, 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]  So it's, by the way, it's new, but the way technology changes, all this stuff has to be updated.
[00:03:57]  I'm looking at some of the stuff, it's reminding me of being in Navy intelligence sitting in here, because you have the.
[00:04:02]  I can see you've got the flight, you know, the air traffic control, the different regions, and then over there.
[00:04:08]  I don't know if we can even show this because, I mean, it's not classified, but folks, we've got the full Strait of Hormuz.
[00:04:13]  So obviously, we've been talking about that on my show and, you know, everyone for quite some time.
[00:04:17]  And you guys are right on top of it.
[00:04:18]  You're tracking all the transportation, all the shipping, everything.
[00:04:21]  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]  No, we do.
[00:04:27]  So we, and again, American sailors.
[00:04:30]  So we'll track if there's a rail incident.
[00:04:33]  You saw with East Palestine, this is the command center for that.
[00:04:37]  or when the Francis Scott Key Bridge goes down, this is the command center for that.
[00:04:41]  That was shipping and roadways.
[00:04:44]  But again, this is the heart of crisis.
[00:04:48]  And we don't like to use this because that means we don't have crises.
[00:04:52]  And our job is to do all we can to make sure that everything runs well and safely.
[00:04:56]  And hopefully we don't have to use it as a last resort.
[00:05:00]  Right, absolutely.
[00:05:01]  It's a big country.
[00:05:02]  A lot of these systems are out there.
[00:05:03]  And so it's incredible to see.
[00:05:06]  We'll have to get some B-roll shots of this for later because the way you have these systems here, it's pretty remarkable.
[00:05:12]  And it's not exactly the sort of 1970s, 60s technology that we're used to seeing.
[00:05:18]  And when we look at some of the FAA stuff, which we'll get into it, we have a little break, but I want to get into it.
[00:05:23]  What you see here is newer technology.
[00:05:26]  And you mentioned the FAA.
[00:05:27]  And again, this is the FAA equipment.
[00:05:30]  You'd be shocked to see how it operates because this is state-of-the-art compared to what we use in aviation.
[00:05:37]  And by the way, the system is incredibly safe.
[00:05:39]  We have great air traffic controllers.
[00:05:41]  We have great pilots.
[00:05:42]  Everyone's well trained.
[00:05:44]  But the system on which they all run is really old.
[00:05:47]  And by the way, just welcome to the command center.
[00:05:48]  Welcome to DOT.
[00:05:49]  Thank you.
[00:05:49]  No, I appreciate it.
[00:05:50]  Thank you.
[00:05:51]  No, it's, you know, with my boys at home, we were watching Artemis and I was like talking to them about that.
[00:05:58]  So cool.
[00:05:59]  And no, we're going back to space finally, right?
[00:06:02]  And, you know, they wanted to get more interested in it.
[00:06:05]  So I was showing them some of the old Apollo movies.
[00:06:08]  There's a great documentary, Apollo 11.
[00:06:10]  You were looking at the old.
[00:06:12]  Mission Control, right, from Houston.
[00:06:14]  And I was thinking in my mind that, wow, this is the real deal for what we are now.
[00:06:19]  But then in some cases, you know, you're looking at the level of technology they had.
[00:06:23]  And their computers are basically, you're just kind of typing.
[00:06:25]  You're not really actually connected to real systems.
[00:06:27]  It was like a modern day calculator.
[00:06:28]  It was like a calculator, really.
[00:06:30]  I mean, it's how smart they were to actually do what they did.
[00:06:33]  Yeah, you got Neil and I guess Mike Collins basically on a joystick.
[00:06:37]  You know, point for the white thing and then you point for the blue thing on the way back.
[00:06:42]  100%.
[00:06:42]  But even NASA, if you look at how old some of their systems are, And I think that there's a lot of fumes off of the Apollo program and even the shuttle program.
[00:06:52]  But then we had this timeframe in which we got wrapped around the axle of safety.
[00:06:58]  And we all, listen, you've got to be safe in everything we do.
[00:07:00]  We need that.
[00:07:00]  But now we're pushing towards innovation.
[00:07:03]  Secretary, we're coming up on a quick break, though, because that is going to be a great segue into explaining how we can be safe, but also have the advanced technology and revamp these systems for the 21st century.
[00:07:14]  Right back, Jack Vasovic, Secretary, Sean Duffy, Department of Transportation, here on Human Events Daily.
[00:07:20]  Right back.
[00:07:25]  We'll stand in our way and our golden age has just begun.
[00:07:29]  This is Human Events with Jack Possovich.
[00:07:31]  Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
[00:07:35]  Welcome to the second American Revolution.
[00:07:45]  All right, Jack Dosobic, here we are back.
[00:07:46]  We're in the command center, this incredible modern command center of the Department of Transportation, sitting down with Secretary of Transportation, Secretary Duffy.
[00:07:56]  Mr. Secretary, when we last left, we were talking about sort of modernization, and I sort of made this connection.
[00:08:02]  It's like going from the Apollo program to the Artemis program.
[00:08:05]  And when you look at the different systems, right?
[00:08:07]  If you just look at the rocket, it might seem kind of similar, but when you look at the different systems and everything behind the screen, if you will, you see it's that.
[00:08:19]  Elon Musk edge, 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]  And so that's what you're trying to bring across the board to FAA, to air traffic control.
[00:08:31]  Walk us through that.
[00:08:32]  So, first, you have to break this cycle of, again, everything we do is about safety.
[00:08:35]  And when I was at NASA, NASA is about safety and FAA is about safety.
[00:08:40]  But if you let safety drive everything, you'll chain up planes, you'll chain up rockets.
[00:08:45]  Like, who's going to get on a rocket if it's 100% safe?
[00:08:49]  Like, there's a risk.
[00:08:50]  Getting on a rocket.
[00:08:51]  It's a balancing act.
[00:08:52]  And getting, it is, and you do everything you can to drive that safety, but there is risk in all we do.
[00:08:57]  And getting these institutions to think we take calculated, very calculated risks, but we have to do that.
[00:09:04]  And so I saw that at NASA, but with the FAA, everything is old.
[00:09:10]  And so to update every aspect of it, we're using copper wires, we have to go to fiber, we're analog, we have to go to digital, we have, I mean, I don't know, you probably didn't see this, but we have, so think of a calculator, right?
[00:09:21]  It can fit in the palm of your hand.
[00:09:23]  But 50 years ago, the compute power of that calculator was half the size of this room.
[00:09:29]  And so our radar are like massive, old cabinets from the 60s.
[00:09:36]  And now they're sleek, slim.
[00:09:38]  The technology has evolved so much.
[00:09:40]  So the Congress gave us $12.5 billion.
[00:09:44]  We are deploying this.
[00:09:46]  We got it six and a half months ago.
[00:09:48]  We have this massive build underway.
[00:09:49]  This is, I mean, 10,000 man hours.
[00:09:54]  All these contractors that are participating, really smart companies that are helping us think through how we do it.
[00:09:59]  And one of the issues we have is 25 years ago, the FAA promised to do what they call next gen basically, get rid of the floppy disks and the paper strips and like redo it all.
[00:10:11]  And the Congress gave them billions of dollars.
[00:10:13]  You know what they built?
[00:10:14]  Nothing, like virtually nothing.
[00:10:16]  Where'd the money go?
[00:10:18]  Into a lot of conferences and studies and philosophies and let's study it again.
[00:10:24]  And it was never deployed.
[00:10:25]  And so there's a lack of trust.
[00:10:27]  And so to come out today and say, you gave us the money, you put some faith in us, and actually we've already laid and replaced 50% of the copper to fiber.
[00:10:37]  We did more in one year than the last administration did in four.
[00:10:41]  Like it's happening and happening fast.
[00:10:43]  This will be done, this part of the bill will be done by the time Trump leaves office.
[00:10:48]  I mean, that's incredible because, you know, and I remember, you know, you're, I think, day one on the job.
[00:10:55]  You know, there was this horrific incident at Reagan National.
[00:10:59]  And I think that's what kind of sparked a lot of the conversation, at least in the modern, you know, this year, really, the last year, that, you know, going from that, hey, you know, what can we look at in terms of the system?
[00:11:12]  What can we look at in terms of optimization and updating to prevent something like that from ever happening again?
[00:11:17]  So I didn't realize how old it was.
[00:11:19]  That prompted.
[00:11:20]  The president and me to say, let's look at what we have.
[00:11:22]  And what we found is, again, we're using radios from the 70s and 80s.
[00:11:27]  And there's a lot of static.
[00:11:28]  There's a 1970s radio, like the crystal clear communication you get from a modern radio.
[00:11:37]  None of this was updated.
[00:11:38]  So, first we had to identify the problem, which was like everything's a problem, everything is old.
[00:11:43]  And then we had to develop a plan on, well, how do you actually build a brand new air traffic control system?
[00:11:49]  And we gave that to the American people less than a year ago, and we're already well on our way.
[00:11:54]  But here's the key.
[00:11:55]  So you can build all this infrastructure, but have a new telecom, new fiber, that doesn't change the experience of you when you fly.
[00:12:02]  Or a new radar, that doesn't change your experience.
[00:12:05]  Or moving from a paper strip, by the way, controllers, if we're going to pass an airplane off from one controller to the next, they pass a paper strip from one controller to the next.
[00:12:14]  We're going to digitize all that.
[00:12:16]  The magic of what we're doing is when you get a new software system.
[00:12:22]  So think of, you're too young for this, but think of Windows 95 or Windows XP, these really old.
[00:12:28]  You know, software systems that you could, you know, write Word documents and have Excel spreadsheets on, and how far we've come in 25 years with AI tools and technology has just radically changed.
[00:12:39]  Well, we haven't updated the system in 25, 30 years.
[00:12:42]  So if we do new software, so think of this, in a 10 o'clock hour, we have a capacity, let's say it's of 100 departures and arrivals.
[00:12:53]  Well, in that time frame, we're going to have 150.
[00:12:55]  Well, if you schedule it that way, well, of course, you're going to have delays.
[00:12:59]  You're going to have massive congestion.
[00:13:00]  You're going to have Gridlock.
[00:13:03]  And so, if we can now see that with these simple tools, we can spread the flights out and go, well, maybe we should have some flights leave a little bit earlier, three, five, seven, ten minutes earlier, and some flights leave three, five, seven minutes later, and we could spread that congestion out.
[00:13:20]  All of a sudden, you don't see the delay.
[00:13:22]  Or we can see in this system that two airplanes are in the air and they're two hours from now, we see that they're going to conflict.
[00:13:32]  Well, two hours before that, with AI tools, we can give notice to the controller, hey, change the flight path slightly of one of the airplanes.
[00:13:40]  And two hours before what happened, they will de-conflict them.
[00:13:43]  And so the tools make the job of the controller so much easier.
[00:13:46]  And it's going to drive safety and it's going to drive efficiency.
[00:13:49]  The only problem I have is the Congress was very specific in how I have to spend the money.
[00:13:55]  And none of the money is for software.
[00:13:58]  So I'm starting to develop it.
[00:13:59]  We pulled money out of couch cushions and we've pulled the change out.
[00:14:02]  We've given money to three amazing companies that are developing this.
[00:14:06]  By the way, you can't buy this off the shelf.
[00:14:08]  This is developed technology for us, right?
[00:14:13]  But the Congress has to give me the additional money.
[00:14:16]  We don't want the software fix to be done five or ten years from now.
[00:14:20]  You want that fix done today in conjunction with this other build of the infrastructure that's going to run the national airspace.
[00:14:28]  So the idea being then that that allocation was very specific when you got it, it was for the build, but what you're also looking for is for this new software up.
[00:14:36]  You can actually run everything in a new way.
[00:14:39]  And so I can't fix the weather for you, or I can't fix that you might have a mechanical issue with your airplane.
[00:14:47]  But I can fix the congestion that happens in the airspace.
[00:14:50]  And by the way, so if you think of this department, which probably a lot of people don't think about it this way, but the greatest, newest technology outside of AI is all coming through DOT.
[00:15:03]  So think of drone deliveries.
[00:15:05]  Drones can be used for war, but the economics of drones is very real.

=== Commercial Driver License Compliance Issues (12:01) ===

[00:15:10]  The EVATOLs, the human drones, these massive, these are going to come online and it'll change the way that people move.
[00:15:20]  We're at the cusp of bringing back land based supersonic flight.
[00:15:23]  So, supersonic flight from LA to New York in two and a half hours.
[00:15:30]  Every time I fly by somewhere and I see the Concorde just sitting propped up, I say, why?
[00:15:36]  We had something so great and so cool and we just gave it up.
[00:15:41]  Why?
[00:15:42]  This new technology, the sound waves, and how the computer.
[00:15:45]  Because it was too loud, yeah.
[00:15:46]  It's too loud, right?
[00:15:47]  It'll shatter windows.
[00:15:48]  But what they'll now do is they can get the right speed at the right altitude, and those sound waves will come down and they'll bounce off the atmosphere before hitting the ground.
[00:15:58]  So if you can do it in a way that the wave doesn't hit the ground, it'll bounce off before, you can have supersonic flight over land, which is what we're looking at.
[00:16:06]  And this isn't aviation, but the whole autonomous vehicle revolution, where you see what Waymo is doing or what Tesla is doing.
[00:16:14]  It'll again, I don't know about you, but I look at you know people that drive and grab their phones when they're driving.
[00:16:19]  The distraction that happens, Jack, you see it, the distraction, you see it, will save lives and it's going to change the way.
[00:16:26]  So, all this new technology is coming through transportation, people's products, it's all going to modify over the next five, seven, ten years.
[00:16:35]  Now, I saw a commercial or an ad, a recruitment ad that was kind of interesting.
[00:16:40]  You're talking about new technology, and you need people who understand technology to be able to access it and to control it.
[00:16:48]  Did I see something where you guys are trying to recruit gamers to run these systems?
[00:16:51]  So, moms and dads across the country were like, finally, my son or daughter have been training.
[00:16:54]  I know, I know, Yeah, so here's what we found.
[00:17:09]  Walk me through the logic of this.
[00:17:10]  Yeah, so we have, you don't have to be a college graduate to be an air traffic controller, right?
[00:17:13]  There's some minimal requirements.
[00:17:16]  But 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.
[00:17:29]  They're all gamers.
[00:17:30]  And so if you think of gaming, you're dealing with multiple issues at the same time, you're problem solving.
[00:17:37]  Right.
[00:17:38]  So what they do as they're gaming.
[00:17:40]  It's also a lot of what a controller is doing, managing different screens and different conflicts, and they're communicating with airplanes.
[00:17:47]  So we put out an ad.
[00:17:49]  We had like 2 million views.
[00:17:54]  We had, we crushed the record.
[00:17:56]  So in 24 hours, we had 12,000 applications, double what the prior record was.
[00:18:03]  Wow.
[00:18:03]  So 12,000.
[00:18:04]  Most of those are qualified.
[00:18:05]  We're sending them off to the skills training test as well.
[00:18:10]  We want the best and the brightest.
[00:18:11]  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]  It's not a game at all.
[00:18:18]  But the skill sets developed, man, if they can help us control the airspace, and I can encourage really bright young people to come in.
[00:18:25]  It's a little bit like The Last Starfighter, right?
[00:18:28]  It reminds me of that one.
[00:18:29]  Yeah, that was a good one.
[00:18:30]  It's not a game.
[00:18:31]  What do you mean it's not a game?
[00:18:32]  Yeah, I mean, but it had a point, right?
[00:18:36]  There was a point to it that said if you could be good at this, these skills possibly, Could be translated into other things, and why not give it a shot?
[00:18:46]  So, I think that's really cool that you guys are looking at that.
[00:18:50]  So, coming up on a quick break, I want to get into that.
[00:18:53]  I want to also ask you about CDLs and some of the work that you've been doing there.
[00:18:57]  Incredible work, by the way.
[00:18:58]  My audience is very interested in that.
[00:19:00]  We're sitting down with Secretary Sean Duffy here in the Palatial Mission Control Center.
[00:19:04]  I'm going to call it Mission Control Center because it feels like I'm in Mission Control Center.
[00:19:08]  It's Command Center, but to me, it kind of feels like Mission Control Center.
[00:19:10]  Right back, human events daily, Real America's voice.
[00:19:17]  You talk about influencers.
[00:19:19]  These are influencers.
[00:19:20]  And they're friends of mine.
[00:19:23]  Jack Posobiec.
[00:19:24]  Where's Jack?
[00:19:25]  Jack.
[00:19:26]  He's done a great job.
[00:19:33]  All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live with Secretary Duffery here in the Department of Transportation.
[00:19:38]  Mr. Secretary, I've got to ask you this question.
[00:19:41]  We get asked it constantly when I told people that I was going to be coming here today.
[00:19:44]  Our whole audience was asking this question of CDLs.
[00:19:49]  And the people driving these big rigs on the highway.
[00:19:53]  And something's changed where I remember even as a kid, you see a big rig and you do the two-two thing and the guy does it back.
[00:20:01]  Actually, when I was growing up, my dad was a big CB radio guy.
[00:20:06]  So he kind of caught the wave when it really got popular in the 70s and then he kept it going.
[00:20:11]  And we always had a CB radio.
[00:20:13]  So we're always talking to the drivers and it was a great thing.
[00:20:17]  There was just that kind of camaraderie of being out on the open road from Pennsylvania.
[00:20:22]  So a lot of road trips.
[00:20:25]  Now, it seems that that whole camaraderie and thinking that you can trust those trucks, it seems like it's broken, quite frankly.
[00:20:34]  And now we're finding out in many cases that people are driving those things that either don't have the training, don't have the respect for others on the road, or shouldn't even be in this country in the first place.
[00:20:47]  Huge problem.
[00:20:48]  You've been dealing with it.
[00:20:49]  Talk us through what you found.
[00:20:51]  So you see these crashes that are happening across the country, and oftentimes they're With drivers who should never have a driver's license.
[00:20:59]  So there's a broader problem in trucking where over the last 10, 20 years, you've seen a lot of fraud come into the space and it was just allowed to format.
[00:21:09]  And we're trying to root that fraud out.
[00:21:11]  But to your point, the last administration, what they did is said, okay, we're going to bring all these people into the country, right?
[00:21:20]  And whether it was 12 million, 15 million, however many people Joe Biden led into the country, a lot of the states then would say, well, what's a great way to work?
[00:21:29]  Well, let's have you drive trucks, which by the way, Americans drive trucks too.
[00:21:33]  Yes.
[00:21:34]  And you're taking jobs away from great Americans because you're competing with someone who is cheating the system.
[00:21:40]  And so the problem is the last administration said for the CDL schools.
[00:21:45]  Well, and it's good money.
[00:21:46]  Well, it is good money.
[00:21:48]  Well, it was good money until these people came in and they'll sleep in their cars or in their trucks and they'll mess with the hours of service and they'll drive more than their hours of service.
[00:21:59]  So if you follow the rules, you can't compete with the guys that are breaking the rules and the laws.
[00:22:03]  But what they did is they said, okay, well, you can self certify that you have a commercial driver license school that meets our standards.
[00:22:10]  Like, what?
[00:22:11]  So, what happens is it's like the Luring Center in Minneapolis.
[00:22:15]  You have people that will go like this, give me $1,000.
[00:22:18]  I'll give you the certificate that you completed the coursework to have the knowledge to be a commercial driver.
[00:22:25]  In these schools, they didn't have a curriculum.
[00:22:27]  They didn't have any trucks for any drivers, any of these students to drive.
[00:22:32]  So they get to the school, they pay for it.
[00:22:34]  And then a lot of states will outsource the testing of a commercial driver.
[00:22:40]  And if you don't do oversight over the third party testers, you can pay off the tester as well.
[00:22:47]  To then give you a license and you never went to school, and then you get in an 80,000 pound big rig and you hit the road.
[00:22:54]  Which is insanity.
[00:22:56]  We have long standing rules that say you have to be able to speak English to drive truck because if you crash, you need to be able to talk to law enforcement what's on your rig.
[00:23:04]  You have to understand road signs.
[00:23:06]  And I've had, under the Barack Obama era, they basically made it a slap on the wrist if you violated that rule.
[00:23:13]  We brought real penalties back.
[00:23:16]  But then in our states, we said, hey, listen, someone has to meet the criteria to get, they're called non domiciled CDLs, they're a commercial driver's license for foreigners.
[00:23:27]  We said, hey, you've got to follow the rule states.
[00:23:30]  So, for instance, California and New York were the worst offenders.
[00:23:33]  If you were in the country illegally, on occasion, these states would give them a commercial driver's license.
[00:23:38]  And you're here illegally, right?
[00:23:40]  Number one.
[00:23:40]  Or you're going to be legally here for another two months.
[00:23:44]  New York will give you a commercial driver's license for eight years.
[00:23:49]  So, we just said, hey, follow our rules, go back and review these licenses that you've given out.
[00:23:54]  And California fought us at the start.
[00:23:56]  We pulled multiple tranches of money from California.
[00:23:59]  They've now decided to come into compliance.
[00:24:01]  But as we pulled, we did an audit of New York, 53% of their non domiciled or commercial driver's licenses issued to foreigners were issued illegally or contrary to our rules.
[00:24:14]  I'm sorry, 43%.
[00:24:17]  53%.
[00:24:18]  More than half, they've unlawfully given.
[00:24:21]  And so we usually give them 30 days.
[00:24:24]  I gave New York four months.
[00:24:25]  I go, hey, come on.
[00:24:26]  I got a sweetie to comply.
[00:24:28]  Because if you get a commercial driver's license in New York, You don't just drive in New York, you're driving through Pennsylvania.
[00:24:33]  Of course, you're driving across the country.
[00:24:35]  So you endanger all Americans.
[00:24:37]  And they basically told me to pound sand.
[00:24:40]  So we just pulled $73 million.
[00:24:43]  We will eventually pull more money from the state of New York.
[00:24:46]  And if they don't come into compliance, what I'll eventually do is I can pull their ability to issue commercial driver's licenses.
[00:24:54]  But this is just good government.
[00:24:55]  Like, you should say, well, having safe roadways, having, you know, well-skilled drivers on the roads, like, that's good policy.
[00:25:03]  That's good government.
[00:25:04]  Like, I don't speak liberal.
[00:25:06]  So I don't understand.
[00:25:07]  Like, I don't understand why they would want an unqualified driver who is here unlawfully to be on American roads.
[00:25:16]  Like, that makes no sense to me, Jeff.
[00:25:18]  No, the level of care isn't there.
[00:25:20]  And at my home state, Pennsylvania, Josh Pirro, just as bad in terms of this.
[00:25:25]  And there's been incidents.
[00:25:26]  And, you know, they respond and say, oh, and every time, it's so horrific.
[00:25:30]  It's so terrible.
[00:25:31]  But they don't follow through.
[00:25:33]  And it'd be nice to say, hey, let's partner together.
[00:25:36]  I got this.
[00:25:36]  This is not a.
[00:25:37]  There's a lot of partisan issues that.
[00:25:39]  How is this left and right?
[00:25:40]  There's no left and right here.
[00:25:41]  There's absolutely none.
[00:25:43]  It's just about safety.
[00:25:44]  Right.
[00:25:44]  Well, except the side of the road you're supposed to be driving on, which occasionally they have issues with.
[00:25:48]  But I think they're serving.
[00:25:52]  The undocumented, illegal community.
[00:25:54]  We're helping the marginalized of the world, and we're, you know.
[00:25:58]  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]  And what's happened for our truckers, and by the way, they're the most rabid ex users.
[00:26:12]  I get a lot of feedback from the trucking community.
[00:26:14]  I love it.
[00:26:14]  Big podcasters.
[00:26:15]  Well, good.
[00:26:16]  That's awesome.
[00:26:17]  But I get good feedback from them.
[00:26:19]  But because these.
[00:26:23]  These foreigners aren't following the law.
[00:26:25]  They're driving down the rates and the pay for the actual great Americans who are making a great living to support their families.
[00:26:32]  They now can't make a living.
[00:26:34]  And so we're doing, we are working overtime.
[00:26:37]  And it takes time, but we're working overtime to make sure we have the right rules in place to support them.
[00:26:41]  Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for sitting down with us.
[00:26:44]  And I look forward to seeing the next video game competition.
[00:26:48]  I'm sure you'll be holding here.
[00:26:50]  Maybe the vice president, I don't know.
[00:26:52]  Get involved.
[00:26:52]  But thank you for joining us here at Human Events Daily.
[00:26:54]  Thank you for having us.
[00:26:55]  This is great.
[00:26:55]  This is really great.
[00:26:57]  We'll be right back.
[00:26:58]  A little bit more here at the Department of Transportation.
[00:27:00]  Cuban Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
[00:27:02]  Give him a follow.
[00:27:03]  Secretary Duffy on X. You can find him everywhere.

=== Market Protection Over Speculation (02:16) ===

[00:27:12]  Where is Jack?
[00:27:14]  Where is Jack?
[00:27:16]  Where is he?
[00:27:17]  Jack, I want to see you.
[00:27:21]  Great job, Jack.
[00:27:22]  Thank you.
[00:27:23]  What a job you do.
[00:27:24]  You know, we have an incredible thing.
[00:27:26]  We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting politicians.
[00:27:36]  All right, folks, we're back live here.
[00:27:37]  Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
[00:27:42]  We're doing the sit down here at the Department of Transportation.
[00:27:44]  We're going to have some other guests coming along very shortly.
[00:27:46]  But before that happens, I got to tell you something.
[00:27:49]  I have a message for you, and I'm going to be blunt.
[00:27:51]  Because before the crashes, the stock market crashes of 99 and 2008, what did we see?
[00:27:57]  A rare market signal.
[00:27:59]  And what was that?
[00:28:00]  It was something that most people ignored, but the smart money did not.
[00:28:03]  Gold and stocks were rising at the same time.
[00:28:06]  And that is not normal.
[00:28:08]  Stocks are supposed to rise when confidence is strong.
[00:28:11]  Gold rises when confidence starts to break.
[00:28:14]  They move in opposite directions until.
[00:28:16]  Something underneath the system is off.
[00:28:19]  And now they're both breaking records again.
[00:28:22]  This has only happened twice before major market repricing events.
[00:28:26]  Now, does that mean it crashes tomorrow?
[00:28:28]  Not necessarily.
[00:28:29]  But it does mean that risk may be dangerously mispriced.
[00:28:33]  Gold doesn't surge because it's popular, it moves when currency confidence weakens, debt explodes, and central banks prepare quietly behind the scenes.
[00:28:42]  Here's what should get your attention banks are buying gold at record levels right now.
[00:28:48]  They're not guessing.
[00:28:49]  Gold does not depend on earnings.
[00:28:52]  It doesn't depend on credit markets.
[00:28:54]  It doesn't depend on political promises.
[00:28:56]  Stocks do.
[00:28:57]  If you have a savings or retirement account, you don't get a do over.
[00:29:00]  This is about protection, not speculation.

=== Revamping Antiquated Aviation Systems (08:25) ===

[00:29:28]  So, folks, we're here with the Department of Transportation.
[00:29:31]  It's an incredible day that we've been having.
[00:29:34]  And this is something, guys, when it comes down to everything that we've been talking about, folks know 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]  He talked about DEI when it comes to air travel.
[00:29:52]  And he said, Look, I don't want To have a pilot that was some DEI hire.
[00:29:56]  Now, the whole media lost their mind over this.
[00:29:59]  Barack Obama brought it up, even in the wake of everything that happened in September.
[00:30:04]  But let's go back to what Charlie was actually talking about.
[00:30:07]  He was talking about we want the best of the best.
[00:30:10]  And that includes pilots, that includes air traffic controllers, that includes anyone who's involved with keeping your plane in the air and making sure your plane gets to the destination that it is supposed to in a safe manner.
[00:30:27]  You'd think that after all these years, we would have gotten to the point where something like that is simple.
[00:30:33]  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]  And then when 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, Haitian migrants, whatever it is, Bangladesh migrants that I've seen a couple of times in some of these crashes.
[00:31:01]  It all needs to stop.
[00:31:03]  And so when the Secretary was here talking about good government, that's what he means.
[00:31:07]  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 because you don't have the qualifications.
[00:31:18]  You got to go because jobs like this are no fail.
[00:31:22]  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]  It's really that simple.
[00:31:30]  And this isn't something.
[00:31:31]  Where we have the opportunity or we have any bit of leeway to play these games, or oh, we want to get it looking a certain way when you want to have a certain quota of hires.
[00:31:40]  No, no, it's not how it works.
[00:31:43]  You want safety because when you have safety, you can have trust and you need to put safety as your top priority safety, performance, excellence, real standards.
[00:31:55]  Here at the Department of Transportation, when we talk about these things, we're talking about our airways, we're talking about our roadways, we're talking about our railways, East Palestine, right?
[00:32:04]  When you have software that is 50 years old, you have people who don't know how to operate things, you have systems that don't even know how to talk to each other.
[00:32:12]  Well, guess what?
[00:32:14]  That's when you have problems.
[00:32:16]  That's when you run into what we used to call the collapse of complex systems.
[00:32:21]  And the collapse of complex systems is a huge issue in the United States, and it's something that we saw all throughout the Biden administration.
[00:32:29]  We saw East Palestine, we saw crashes, we saw all of it happening over and over.
[00:32:34]  And that's why, and people say, oh, you know, the Department of Transportation, you know, maybe not gets as much attention as the Department of War, the Department of State, but when you actually look at the day to day issues that are focused on Americans, your basic quality of life.
[00:32:51]  It really is those transportation issues.
[00:32:53]  And when the Secretary was here, he also talked about the innovations in automated driving that are coming up, the innovations in whether it's driver assist or whether it's driver aid, those come in as well.
[00:33:07]  I believe our guest is here.
[00:33:08]  We're very excited.
[00:33:10]  Hey, Jack.
[00:33:10]  Congressman White, how are you?
[00:33:11]  Let's get you mic'd up here and then we'll get it all set up because I was just kind of talking about the Secretary was just here, incredible.
[00:33:20]  You know, incredible situation.
[00:33:21]  And he was talking about the need for revamping so many of the systems that the Department of Transportation has.
[00:33:29]  And I understand you have a relationship, obviously, with the Secretary.
[00:33:32]  And, you know, when it comes down to it, we're talking about safety and excellence, right?
[00:33:37]  This isn't a left versus right issue, is it?
[00:33:39]  It is not.
[00:33:40]  Secretary Duffy is a great leader, great communicator.
[00:33:43]  And really, we have made a huge investment.
[00:33:46]  I mean, today we talked earlier and with the announcement this morning and really investing a lot of money into air traffic.
[00:33:53]  Control and you know, whether that's pulling off the copper wires and turning them into fiber and just totally revamping the way we do air traffic control and great leader, happy to support him and will continue to support him in all of the initiatives.
[00:34:09]  We have also a resurface authorization coming up this year.
[00:34:12]  I'm on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, but it's great to have a strong leader and a strong Department of Transportation.
[00:34:18]  Well, it's basically concrete and asphalt.
[00:34:21]  What we're doing, it's you know, highways, it's the airway, you know, the air.
[00:34:25]  Airplanes, it's water, and so on.
[00:34:28]  Who's in that business?
[00:34:30]  Oh, really?
[00:34:31]  Yeah, actually, he does the pressure washing for the surfaces.
[00:34:35]  Oh, cool.
[00:34:36]  Yeah.
[00:34:36]  But, you know, the highway bill or the resurface auth is really concrete and asphalt.
[00:34:41]  And really what we're doing is getting away from, you know, the old way, the past administration where you had a lot of woke projects focusing on bike trails and DEI initiatives where, you know, that's gone.
[00:34:53]  We're focused on concrete and asphalt and really, you know, taking care of the infrastructure that everybody uses in our country.
[00:34:58]  And everybody uses highways, everybody uses roads.
[00:35:01]  Whether you make $15 an hour or you make $1,000 an hour, it's the common good.
[00:35:06]  And that's why I think, Transportation infrastructure is a great committee, and it's great, again, to have a strong secretary like Secretary Duncan.
[00:35:14]  Well, it is, and you know, there are times where people say, like, oh, it doesn't always drive the media.
[00:35:19]  I was just saying it doesn't always drive the media narrative as much until there's a problem, and then all of a sudden someone says, hey, how come this wasn't taken care of?
[00:35:26]  And that's kind of where you're coming in, isn't it?
[00:35:28]  Exactly, and especially as it relates to aviation, you know, is it safe now to fly?
[00:35:34]  Yes, it is safe, but we need to be the best in the world, and that's what Secretary talked about this morning, and have the best technology, the best software.
[00:35:42]  To make sure that we are not only safe, we're efficient.
[00:35:45]  And we have great experiences when people are flying in our country, and that's exactly what we're doing.
[00:35:50]  No, we need it.
[00:35:51]  And, you know, people were, I've kind of made this crack where I said, you know, you look at the Artemis program, and as incredible as it is, but then you go to the FAA, and it's like they're using Apollo era equipment sometimes in these air traffic control offices.
[00:36:05]  And not to say that it's not safe, but it's like, guys, maybe we could do a little better here.
[00:36:08]  Exactly.
[00:36:09]  I mean, they're literally writing down the air traffic controllers, and these are some of the smartest people I've ever met.
[00:36:15]  They're literally writing things down and handing them off or sliding down tubes.
[00:36:19]  I mean, it's an antiquated system.
[00:36:22]  It's certainly safe, and these are great, great people that are doing it.
[00:36:26]  But again, we're going to make this investment to make it not only safe, but more safe, but efficient.
[00:36:32]  I'm a prior Navy officer, and so you go on some of these ships that have been at sea since the 70s, and you see these systems, you see the technology on them, and you say, wait a minute, this is what we're using?
[00:36:45]  It just seems that you come out of your civilian life where you've got.
[00:36:49]  Smartphones and laptops, and all the rest, and then you go into, in my case, the military, you go on a Navy ship, even some of our aircraft carriers, that's starting to change over.
[00:36:59]  But even some of the older aircraft carriers, you're looking at systems that are just so incredibly outdated, and you realize we're putting our national security in the hands of these systems that are just so much older than anything that we would use on a regular basis.
[00:37:18]  It's great that we also have a president now.
[00:37:20]  That is such a strong leader that, you know, not only from an aviation perspective, I mean, people have been talking about our antiquated aviation for 25 years and nothing's been done.
[00:37:29]  But now, as you go over to from a national defense perspective, and, you know, he's committed, and our president is committed to having the best in our armed forces and using all the technologies that are available to make sure that we're the strongest armed forces in the world.
[00:37:45]  Simple as that.
[00:37:45]  Obviously, that's the peace through strength mentality, but it does take strong leadership, and thankfully, we have a strong president and President Trump.
[00:37:53]  Because I'm getting the message.

=== Senate Passes Save America Act (09:01) ===

[00:37:54]  We are about to go to a break.
[00:37:56]  We're right back here.
[00:37:57]  Human Events Daily.
[00:37:58]  We're live doing today's show at the Department of Transportation.
[00:38:02]  Right back.
[00:38:06]  This is the Jack Posobic Appreciation Hour.
[00:38:08]  I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobic.
[00:38:14]  And that is, I'll be honest.
[00:38:22]  All right, really excited to be here with Congressman Tony Wide from the great state of Wisconsin.
[00:38:28]  Congressman, so we're here at the Department of Transportation.
[00:38:30]  We're talking transportation issues, but one of those issues, because we were just talking about this, had to do with driver's licenses and particularly CDLs.
[00:38:39]  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]  And, you know, I keep hearing that it's stalled in the Senate.
[00:38:53]  Can you give us an update?
[00:38:54]  On where exactly we are on this, because I hear it from our audience every day that we need to get this thing out.
[00:38:59]  I think it's the most important piece of legislation that we could do right now.
[00:39:03]  And I'm glad in the House we passed this.
[00:39:05]  We passed this legislation multiple times.
[00:39:08]  And it's a common sense thing.
[00:39:11]  Some states are already doing some measures that are working, but there's a lot of states in our country that don't.
[00:39:16]  And what it requires is that you are a citizen to vote.
[00:39:20]  And you have to show your ID to vote.
[00:39:22]  It's very.
[00:39:23]  I don't know, getting on an airplane.
[00:39:24]  Yeah, getting on an airplane or renting a hotel.
[00:39:27]  You know, maybe you're grabbing a rental car.
[00:39:29]  I don't know if you can rent anything without showing an ID.
[00:39:31]  If you want to shovel snow in New York, you have to get two forms.
[00:39:35]  I mean, it's completely common sense.
[00:39:37]  Look, over 80% of people agree that you should be a citizen to vote, and showing an ID just simply just shows that you're a citizen.
[00:39:45]  And so I don't understand what could possibly be the holdup.
[00:39:49]  The House, like I said, has gone alone.
[00:39:51]  Republicans have gone alone, but we passed it and sent it to the Senate, and it continues to get held up.
[00:39:56]  In the Senate.
[00:39:57]  It's something that has to get done.
[00:39:58]  I think it will absolutely save our country.
[00:40:01]  Calling on the Senate to do whatever it takes to get that done, and whether that's working with the filibuster, whatever the technicalities are, but it's what America wants.
[00:40:12]  And if 80% of Americans want it, it needs to get passed through the Senate.
[00:40:16]  And of course, the president will sign it right away.
[00:40:18]  Well, no, he's certainly made it a high priority for legislation.
[00:40:22]  He's made it a high priority for the administration, as well as in terms of the legislative agenda.
[00:40:27]  The one big, beautiful bill that got passed.
[00:40:30]  That got passed, took some lifting, got it done.
[00:40:32]  The Save America Act is something, to your point, you know, it really speaks to this idea.
[00:40:37]  And I think for a lot of people, especially in our audience, when they see this, they say that, you know, it's like when the American people want something so much and they can't get done in Congress.
[00:40:48]  This is why people think that there's something wrong with our politics where special interests or whatever group you want to ascribe it to are able to get in and somehow kill pieces of legislation like this.
[00:41:02]  That are so popular, yet they have their own reasons for not wanting them put across the board.
[00:41:07]  Right.
[00:41:07]  And I think over, I think the polls are showing over 70% of those that vote Democrat are in favor of you being a citizen to vote in our country.
[00:41:18]  What an honor and a privilege it is to be able to vote.
[00:41:20]  Certainly.
[00:41:20]  That we live in a free society, the greatest government ever with the Constitutional Republic.
[00:41:26]  It does not make any sense to me unless it's strictly political.
[00:41:30]  Maybe that is what it is, right?
[00:41:31]  It's political.
[00:41:32]  They don't obviously feel that it would be good for Democrats in the election.
[00:41:37]  And so that's got to be why.
[00:41:39]  And this creates a census issue as well, isn't it?
[00:41:41]  It does, yeah.
[00:41:42]  So it's a common sense issue.
[00:41:43]  It has to get passed.
[00:41:44]  Again, I think it's the most important thing.
[00:41:46]  I really hope that there's got to be some mechanism in the Senate to get that passed because, again, I think it's the most important thing that we can do right now.
[00:41:53]  Well, and then you look at, obviously, Virginia has their fight, which is going on today.
[00:41:57]  You look at it because.
[00:41:58]  It seems like when it goes to the Democrat side of the House, they're directly focused on apportionment, they're focused on census, they understand the game, they understand the system.
[00:42:08]  In many cases, they made the system, right?
[00:42:10]  This is, you know, conservatives, you're not always a systems thinker.
[00:42:14]  You're focused on innovation, you're thinking, go ahead, but you're not thinking of how can I game the system to, you know, give myself an unfair advantage.
[00:42:24]  That's not a conservative way of thinking, is it?
[00:42:26]  Right.
[00:42:26]  And I was looking at, if you're here in the D.C. area, you see commercials on TV.
[00:42:31]  In the way the commercials are for, they're calling it the fair maps, and they have people on there that are talking about.
[00:42:37]  Yeah, it's fair.
[00:42:38]  With the lobster.
[00:42:39]  Have you seen the lobster, right?
[00:42:40]  The lobster district they're doing.
[00:42:41]  It's ridiculous.
[00:42:42]  Yeah, that's, I mean, it's anything but fair.
[00:42:44]  It could very well go to a 10 to 1 map, but the way the ads are written, it's just so underhanded, and it just really.
[00:42:51]  Since I've been here in the area, it's, and they're in it.
[00:42:53]  Barack Obama is all over the ads.
[00:42:55]  Spamberger's out there.
[00:42:56]  And then 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.
[00:43:00]  It's all about fairness.
[00:43:01]  It's absolutely tricking people.
[00:43:02]  There's no question, because you would vote to say, well, no, I want fair maps, but in reality, Vote for it is definitely not a fair map.
[00:43:10]  It does not give a representation of the voters in Virginia.
[00:43:13]  So that's a good example.
[00:43:15]  Right.
[00:43:15]  And so I use that as an example to say that when they get in power, what do they do?
[00:43:20]  They game the system or they change the system so that it gives themselves an unfair advantage.
[00:43:25]  It's the same thing with the Save America Act.
[00:43:27]  It's the same thing with the way apportionment works when it comes to the census as well because they're counting illegal aliens in so many of these districts.
[00:43:35]  So what do they do?
[00:43:37]  They don't enforce these areas.
[00:43:38]  So sanctuary cities then get.
[00:43:40]  These massive overblown representations of people who aren't citizens in the first place.
[00:43:46]  To your point, that's got to be the only agenda, right?
[00:43:50]  Is to have people voting that shouldn't be voting in order to win elections.
[00:43:53]  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]  It does not make any sense unless it's political.
[00:44:05]  I've got to give them credit.
[00:44:06]  The Glimmer Group, by the way, Elon Musk, he's talked about this on Rogan.
[00:44:10]  He's talked about this all over the place to say that if these Fixes are not made that we could very quickly find ourselves in a situation where we have one party control of the government.
[00:44:21]  Yeah, we will.
[00:44:22]  And you know what will happen if that were to happen, and we go into the minority and Democrats go into the majority, it's going to be nothing but chaos here on the Hill.
[00:44:30]  It's going to be for never ending impeachments.
[00:44:32]  It's going to be all about chaos, and it's really all about politics and continuing to have control and manipulating the system.
[00:44:38]  That's the way I see it.
[00:44:39]  And I've only been here a little over a year, and that's exactly what I'm seeing right now from the other side of the aisle.
[00:44:45]  We, uh, I think we have, we have a couple minutes left, right guys?
[00:44:52]  Okay, and you did mention that, and we have seen a number of.
[00:44:56]  So I released a video a couple weeks ago about one of your former congressmen, Congressman Eric Swalwell, and we've heard that there are some more expulsion votes that are possibly in the works.
[00:45:09]  Have you been read in on that?
[00:45:11]  Are you focused on that at all?
[00:45:12]  Well, right now we have one that went through the Ethics Committee, and that'll be coming through the committee, yes.
[00:45:18]  Yeah, that's gone through the Ethics Committee, and I think we'll have the final.
[00:45:20]  That's Jill McCormick.
[00:45:22]  Yep, exactly.
[00:45:22]  That'll be coming up soon, and I'm looking forward to taking a look at that.
[00:45:26]  I think it should go through the Ethics Committee on these types of situations, and then we'll be, you know, obviously taking a vote on it.
[00:45:32]  But I think people are sick and tired of the corruption.
[00:45:34]  They're sick and tired of the people that are representing them acting in, you know, these heinous ways.
[00:45:39]  And, you know, Representative Swalwell and Gonzalez are too.
[00:45:43]  I mean, those types, you can't act like that and represent our country.
[00:45:48]  And I'm glad they resigned, but we need to get these people out that are acting like this.
[00:45:52]  And get back to doing business.
[00:45:53]  People need good leaders and people want good leaders, and that's what people deserve to have.
[00:45:59]  So I'm glad they left, and I'm looking forward to a vote here and looking at the findings through the Ethics Committee.
[00:46:06]  And when it comes down to it, I understand people say, oh, well, because obviously it's a tight majority, but at the same time, if we don't have the ethics, if we don't have these standards that we hold ourselves by, then what is the point of any of it?
[00:46:21]  What point?
[00:46:22]  I mean, you have to come into this and you've got to act trustworthy, earn the trust.
[00:46:27]  Of the people that are in your district.
[00:46:28]  And that's what I said coming into this.
[00:46:30]  And that's what drew me here.
[00:46:32]  I continue to see people that I didn't believe.
[00:46:34]  I think they were lying to me, whether that's in Congress or working for the government.
[00:46:38]  It hit an all time high during the COVID.
[00:46:41]  You know, during the way the government handled that in such a terrible way.
[00:46:45]  That's what really drew me to this and motivated me that people need good leaders that are going to tell the truth.
[00:46:50]  Congressman, tell people where they can go and follow you and get more information about everything that you're doing, what you're putting out.

=== Need Leaders Who Tell Truth (00:46) ===

[00:46:55]  Well, thanks.
[00:46:56]  So I'm on all the social media channels, Rep. Tony Weed and just honored to represent the great people in northeastern Wisconsin.
[00:47:03]  We're cheese heads, we're Packer fans, and get to represent Lambeau Field.
[00:47:08]  I encourage people to check us out on social media.
[00:47:11]  No, no, as an Eagles guy, I know I'm not exactly encouraged to go to the territory.
[00:47:16]  That's a good territory when I'm up there.
[00:47:17]  Oh, yeah, I know.
[00:47:18]  But I will say, though, that having traveled to Wisconsin a couple of times now, I really do love the cheese curds.
[00:47:24]  I've totally fallen in love with them.
[00:47:26]  I can't quite figure out how to make them myself, but I'm going to try.
[00:47:29]  I'm going to really try to get them.
[00:47:30]  I'm going to really try to get them.
[00:47:32]  All right, folks, thank you so much for having us today.
[00:47:35]  Thank you for being here, Congressman Tony Weed.
[00:47:38]  Really appreciate you having us.
[00:47:39]  Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
