Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Glad to have you.
Joe Pag's in for Sean Hannity.
1-800-941-Shawn, 1-800-941-7326.
That's the number to get uh to get a hold of us.
Very busy phone lines today.
We'll try to get uh more phone calls in this hour.
We had one or two earlier, but there's a lot going on.
I've got Tony Gonzalez, the U.S. representative, District 23 Republican, the great state of Texas.
He's got the largest border district in the country.
And he's actually, I talked to him from the border.
You want to see it, just go to uh you can go check out my website and click on watch now and you'll see the interview.
All these great radio stations will hear the interview, and it's real what's happening at the border, but there's also real hypocrisy coming out of Washington, DC.
So uh we we're gonna get in depth into that.
I also want to talk about you here in Sean's open, and by the way, he's back on television tonight.
He'll be on Fox tonight, so make sure you tune in.
You hear it is open where they're talking about the the the loon uh the the student loan payback, the student loan forgiveness, the student loan cancellation.
And when they're asked how are you gonna pay for it, specifically by Peter Ducey, how are you gonna pay for it?
They don't have an answer.
The answer is they cut the deficit or something.
What?
Well, no, no, how are you gonna pay for half a trillion to a trillion dollars in loan forgiveness?
And what about those who've already paid off their loans?
Well, they get something.
What about those of us who didn't ever get loans?
Do we get a little piece of the action?
And how do you pay for it?
And there just isn't an answer.
But the narrative that they're going with, and and I was gonna give you my parody, and I'll do that in a second, which is about free college.
Um what bothers me is that every single day now, some doofus from this administration, whether it be O'Biden himself or Obama in the background, or Rice or Jarrett, or Karine Jean-Pierre, who, by the way, is female black and gay.
Now I knew that because on day one, she seemed to to think that was the most important part of what she does.
I don't care what her race is, what her gender is, nor who she sleeps with.
What I care about is are you gonna give me real information that I deserve from the from the White House that I pay for and the people that occupy it?
And she's made it clear she's not going to.
But this jumped out at me during the break, and it really, really bothers me because they're going after so-called MAGA Republicans now.
MAGA Republicans are a threat to democracy.
MAGA Republicans are terrorists, MAGA Republicans don't believe in the rule of law.
MAGA Republicans don't believe in freedom and liberty.
So I'm gonna play what she just said today.
This was just I saw this post over on Twitter.
And I I want you to to really think about the words she's saying, and then I'll tell you exactly what a MAGA republican is uh in just a moment.
But you you that you need to see and hear, well at least hear what this person's saying.
The president thinks that there is an extremist threat to our democracy.
Uh the president has been clear as he can be on that particular uh piece when we talk about a democracy, when we talk about our freedoms.
Uh the way that he sees as the MAGA Republicans are the most energized part of the Republican Party.
Uh the that extreme, this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, uh, to our rights.
I mean, I don't know what she's talking about.
It's it's a an extreme threat to our freedoms, our liberties, and our rights.
Now, let's break down what's really happening.
Linda, had you seen that?
Because she she stepped up to the podium and said that dumb line a little while ago.
This paper in front of her, she's an embarrassment.
It it it doesn't I don't understand.
And she doesn't understand.
Well, no, I I agree with you.
She's told what to say, and she didn't even say it very well.
No, but but at the end of the day, what we have is somebody who is showing a clear, a clear sign that she doesn't trust the American people with the truth, or she's just the messenger and isn't very smart.
And again, if I showed up and said, Hey, Linda, can I sit in for Sean today?
I'm 6'1 Italian, and I'm straight.
Does that get me the job?
No, it doesn't.
It's certainly.
It doesn't hurt.
I mean, I having uh having qualities and characteristics, I I think she's a pretty young lady.
I'm glad about her ethnicity.
Hey, she's gay, great.
I don't care.
I just Linda, I just want the truth.
Problem is is that we aren't really concerned with the truth as a nation anymore.
We're concerned with identifiers, right?
So it's like I identify as, you know, X fill in the blank, you know, and it's just like, you know, hashtag the current thing.
Like I can't I can't keep up anymore, nor do I, you know, desire to do so.
I'm kind of over it because I think what we've done is we filled in people's inabilities with excuses, and you're not allowed to say anything about the fact that they're not good at their job because it offends them because they're XYZ.
When in fact it's really just a cover-up for what they're not able to do.
Linda, you nailed it.
She walked out and said I'm black, female, and gay, as a preemptive salvo to say, Don't you dare criticize me, because I'm all this intersectional.
And if you dare criticize me, you're gonna be the one who's canceled because you can't.
If you say she's bad at her job, you're a racist.
If you say she's bad at her job, you're a homophobe.
You say she's bad at her job, you're a misogynist.
That was the game going in.
And it makes me sick to see her spew this garbage every single day, and only one reporter is willing to question her on it.
And it makes me crazy.
Let me let me just explain the MAGA Republican.
MAGA stands for Make America Great Again.
If you want to make America great or make it great again, you're somebody who loves America.
You're not a white nationalist or a black nationalist or a Hispanic nationalist.
You're just a nationalist.
You love your country and you're proud of USA, USA, USA.
Now does that mean less freedom?
Of course not.
You had lower regulations, you had lower taxation, you had more freedom and liberty.
You had the ability to go and get jobs that weren't available before because of the MAGA president.
The guy came in and literally lifted the regulation, which is allowing for more freedom for you to have less constraints, less shackles by government.
So anybody on the opposing side, which is the side of liberalism, larger government, more government employees, higher taxes, higher regulation, less freedom, less liberty, and the government controls every second you're alive.
If you're on that side and you're calling the other side, you know, the horrible people, you're just uh doing what progressives have done for 150, 200 years.
I mean, the progressives are the ones that started Planned Parenthood because of eugenics because Margaret Sanger hated black people and wanted to weed them out of society.
That's just a fact.
Now they're acting like those who are make America great freedom people really want to take away women's reproductive rights.
I I don't I don't get why we're here.
I guess we're here because somebody has to listen to what they say and then explain to you why they're lying and then give examples of their lies.
Because again, take out the personality.
Linda and I talked about this earlier.
Take out the I like Trump's personality.
I I like him as a person.
I know the guy.
But I understand why people would be turned off by a mean tweet or by him saying, you know, a profanity in a microphone.
I I get that.
So take the personality out of it.
Lower regulations.
He said he'd do it, he did it.
Lower taxes for all people paying taxes, he said he'd do it, he'd do it.
Not for his rich friends, everybody paying taxes.
Yeah, lower taxes.
Said he would move the embassy to Jerusalem, the rightful capital of Israel, like twelve other presidents said and never did, and he did it.
Freedom and liberty, energy independence, going and getting her own resources, strength through power.
He did all of it.
He said he would he screwed up because he said he would do it on the campaign trail and didn't realize he didn't have to do it.
You can just say it and not do it.
That's the American way.
He literally did it, so they have to make him the boogeyman.
Linda, is any of that make any sense?
It makes a lot of sense, actually.
It makes a whole lot of sense.
Does it matter what the personality is?
Joe Biden might be great to play Mario Kart with, but I don't care.
As soon as Joe started gripping up little girls and smelling their hair when they were taking pictures, I'm sorry.
I do not understand how we as grown-ass adults are not able to hold him accountable.
Like, why are you grabbing little kids?
Why are you wishing in their face?
That's a problem.
And yesterday, by the way, in Pennsylvania, he he points out a young girl and says, Hey, baby.
It's gross.
And he says, How old are you?
She has an answer.
How old are you?
How old are you, baby?
Nine years, almost double digits.
Woo!
Yeah, I mean, it's what?
I'm sorry.
People just don't talk like that to children.
And from a from an entire obsessed, you know, media that all they did was talk about Trump and how inappropriate it was and all things.
He said, you know, he never said anything like that to kids in his audience.
I'm sorry.
Never.
Never sniffed a uh uh a the wife's hair of somebody being sworn in for office.
He he never grabbed, you know, the their little children and and I mean the one girl admitted that she took it down, admitted that he actually pinched her nipple.
I'm going to go.
I didn't see that.
When was that?
Uh one of the one of the daughters of one of the people being sworn in and then took it down pretty rapidly.
Um it does to me.
I don't how are we looking at this guy like like and again?
Let's take let's take all personality out of it and only look at these are two machines making rules and regulations and laws and taxation for our country.
MAGA Republicans did it right, and it means freedom and liberty.
The uh the The party that's in there now has done it wrong.
And they've done it wrong for all of time.
And yet they're claiming that the MAGA Republicans are the bad guys.
I want calls on this.
1-800-941-SHAWN.
I'm going to get some calls after the break.
But I'd be remiss if I didn't give you this thing.
I stayed up until like 2.30 in the morning, Linda, to put a song together.
You up at night?
That's so weird.
Like we haven't texted each other at 4 a.m.
Alright, so um uh this is a little something I call free college.
And I thought that it made sense uh because what Biden's doing and the lies coming out of the White House about how they're gonna pay for it, just make me sick.
We will take calls after the break, however.
Yes, I if you like Tom, I'm sorry, I ruined a Tom Petty song.
My bad.
Let's go.
She took out all to go to college.
Had to be paid back.
She had that knowledge.
Let's go.
She got her degree in some woke study.
Now her job hoax All kind of money You're going to get harmony in everything in this song.
It's only a couple of minutes long.
Take a breath, people.
Warren and Biden.
And other lefties started saying, these debts are too hefty.
Then they all said we'll cancel these loans, expecting to get tons of more votes.
Everybody, let's go.
Biden said free.
Free college.
No.
He said free.
Free college.
Come on, people, turn it up.
You know the hook now.
Sing it with me next time.
Let's go.
It was not cheap.
Thou'd have a trill.
Taxpayers will now put that bill.
Of course it's not fair.
It's just not right.
Even some Dems say against this will fight.
Biden says free.
Free college.
Turn it up.
Sing it.
Biden says free.
Free college.
I bring you four part harmony here because I can.
Let's go.
Free college!
Free college.
Free to tax parody called Free College.
I'll play it again later on my program.
It's a it's a little some.
So I had to.
It's only a couple of minutes long.
Linda, I'm sorry.
But I but I had to.
I mean, listen, you couldn't have picked a better uh parody.
I mean, it's certainly timely, and the song it works great.
Katie and I were just texting about it.
We were listening.
It works it worked out okay, I think.
So if you like that, you can stop by uh my website, Joe Pags.com, sign up for all the social media.
Let me know what you thought about it over on Twitter, on Getter, on Truth, on whatever.
We've got Tony Gonzalez, U.S. Representative, District 23, Republican, Great State of Texas, at the bottom of the hour.
Hopefully some time for a couple of phone calls after the break.
Not uh 1-800-941-Shawn.
1-800-941-Shawn.
1-800-941-7326.
Go to Hannity.com for all things Sean Hannity.
He will be back on TV tonight.
Joe Pag's back for Hannity after this.
Go to the very busy phone lines in a second.
1-800-941-Shawn.
1-800-941-7326.
Glad to have you here.
Joe Pags in for Sean Hannity.
A lot of people were very nice about the parody over on Twitter at Joe Talk Show.
Twitter would hate for me to f to get more followers at Joe Talk Show.
Also at Joe Talk Show on Getter.
We've got a ton of followers there.
And on truth, it's at Joe Paggs.
Make sure you stop by.
Let me go to the phone lines.
I appreciate you waiting.
It's going to be Kevin in New York.
Kevin, what's going on?
Hi.
Hey, Joe, how are you doing?
First of all, you did a great job.
You did a great job interviewing Paul Manafort.
Excellent.
My second question is um Do you think now if the Republicans say um take the house?
Do you think they'll have the guts to um interview?
investigate uh Biden and his son?
What's your opinion on that?
Well well, they can't.
Um the the investigation Kevin, thank you.
I appreciate you.
The investigation has to be done by the Department of Justice.
What they can do is they can investigate the FBI and why they didn't do anything.
What they can do is they can they could air all of the grievances of the whistleblowers that had been what are there, 20 of them now, something like that, maybe more, who keep on bringing up information about how they hid this.
Suddenly in the dark of night, Tim Tebow, not the the b the football player, is escorted off campus after twenty-five years of service because allegedly because of how he handled or mishandled or or hid Hunter Biden's laptop that they had since nineteen.
So I don't know that they can investigate Hunter Biden specifically.
That's up to the DOJ.
And unfortunately the DOJ falls in the executive under Joe Biden, but they can certainly bring in the FBI agents and find out why they acted like this.
Uh they can bring in uh the the Merrick Garland and question him.
But the the investigation is never the Congress does the the investigation and then levies the charges.
They bring in the people that aren't investigating and aren't levying the charges, or they bring in the people that are levying charges wrongly, or they bring in people that go and raid Mar-a-Lago for no reason.
There is no reason that warrants should ever have been issued.
Ever, ever, never, ever.
So that's sort of the way it works.
There is a a hierarchy and there's a mechanism in place.
The DOJ does the investigating, they do the charging, they they they ask for the warrants and so on.
They go to the to the judicial to make that happen.
But then the oversight happens in the House of Representatives in the Senate.
If the House goes to the Republicans, which we feel good like it might, but you gotta go vote, and if the set the Senate should go, both bodies can do individual hearings and investigations on the way the DOJ has been acting, and the way it's been acting has been really, really bad for the American people.
Good question.
That's not how it works.
Uh 1-800-941 Sean, 1-800-941-7326.
Joe Pags in for Sean Hannity, Tony Gonzalez, when we come back.
Stay right here.
Great to have you along for the ride.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.
Always glad to have this guy back.
District 23 Republican, the great state of Texas.
It's Tony Gonzalez.
Tony, how are you?
Good to see you.
I'm doing great.
Thanks for having me back on, Pags.
You're very welcome.
Are you at the border now?
I am.
I'm actually in Eagle Pass.
All right, explain explain to people what Eagle Pass is, because um I I I think people might know they have casinos there, but I'm not really sure they understand.
It literally is a passageway from Mexico to to to Texas and and the other way around, right?
Exactly.
Eagle Pass is is uh it's been it's really the epicenter of the border crisis.
Uh it's right on the border.
It it shares a uh a city with Piedras and Egaz in there.
You know, all these photos that you're seeing on Fox of these thousands of people walking over the border, that's an Eagle Pass.
So uh we're here today, and I'll be in uh Del Rio a little bit later, which is a little further about it, maybe 45 minutes an hour uh from here, and that's where those Haitians were, those thousands of Haitians under the bridge.
So this this part of the border, very active.
I've got to ask you about something Joe Biden said last night in Pennsylvania.
He said that we've got a a real crisis with the fentanyl coming across the border.
We've got to stop it, and we're gonna we're gonna do it and we're gonna stop the fentanyl.
Uh Tony, we know that that tons of this stuff is coming across.
In fact, there are two drugs that are that are much harsher than fentanyl as bad as fentanyl is that are coming across and killing a hundred thousand Americans a year.
When you hear rhetoric from Biden, the guy that opened the border, the guy that stopped building the wall, the guy that decided open borders and globalism and no and no borders, that's the way to be.
When you hear him trying to act tough on the border and on fentanyl, what do you think?
You know, uh Joe Biden is exactly right that fentanyl is killing our our kids, uh but he is the reason why this is happening because of the way he is the inaction that they have done on the border, and it's killing all of our kids.
And here in Texas included, you know, just a couple of days ago, we had four kids die in Del Rio due to fentanyl.
A lot of it that they believe it's fentanyl associated.
So no city, it doesn't matter the size, small, big, on the border, uh, you know, on the other on the other end of the country, we are all getting sucked up into this, and it does not end, Pags.
It only gets worse.
You know, we right now we're seeing firefighters and uh that are getting sucked up into these migrant centers.
What this is what an America last agenda looks like, and it'll only get worse.
We're we're what twenty-one months into this?
Imagine eight years of an American last agenda.
I I I can't even imagine that.
It's uh it's uh unbelievable to see what we see here in Texas every day.
They're getting a little taste of it in New York and Washington.
It's actually kind of funny to me, um, because in New York you've got eight million plus people, yet Eric Adams, who said, We're we're we're a city for everybody.
Documented, not documented, we don't care.
Come to New York, and then we send people to New York, he's gotten a total of 7,000 now.
That's it.
Just 7,000.
We get that in what, a day in some of these border crossings.
So he gets 7,000, and he's crying that that Greg Abbott's messed up New York and that it's unfair and it's wrong, and he's gonna now campaign for Beto uh in Texas against Abbott because of how horrible this is.
Tony, they aren't seeing anything compared to what we see here, and he's acting like the world is ending.
I mean, Murell Bowser in Washington, D.C. asked for the National Guard because of the few thousand she's gotten by bus.
What are your thoughts when you see them reacting this way after they welcomed an open border policy?
New York City and and Washington, D.C. have gotten a small taste of what life is every day in Eagle Pass or Del Rio or anywhere along the border, and it's not going to stop there.
I'm hearing they're gonna be sending buses to Chicago next, and you know, maybe San Francisco after that.
I think everybody, because the reality is every city in America has become a border city.
We need to put it on the forefront of them.
You know, if you want to welcome folks, I I understand that, and this is not about immigrants.
I mean, look, I I support legal immigration.
Yes.
We have vacancies in every single industry.
I wish there was a way for folks to come over and work, not vote, not become citizens, but work and fill some of these gaps.
That's not what this administration is doing.
They're going all in on illegal immigration, people that are getting exploited.
And the reality is they're putting America last.
And our resources, our firefighters, our police officers, our hospitals.
I'm right now at the hospital in Eagle Pass.
You know, look, my district is very compassionate, Pags.
Many of us, many of us who live in the first, second generation Americans, and they're having to choose between their families and these migrants.
I was at a gas station uh just the other day, and there was a teacher uh pumping gas next to me.
She had three small kids in the school here in Eagle Pass in the in the car here in Eagle Pass.
And there was a migrant that came up to her and panhandled.
She gave him $10.
And I look over and she had put $10 in her gas tank.
So, I mean, these are the these are the decisions people are making, and they're willing to do it because they'll give the shirt off the back, but it's wrong.
What's interesting is you've got the largest uh representative district on the border in this country, uh District 23 Republican, it's Tony Gonzalez.
And the vast majority of people in Eagle Pass in Del Rio and and Uvaldi, uh, these are people who are generally speaking Latin.
They're Hispanic people.
I'm an original Latino, I'm Italian.
My people came, I'm second generation American.
My father was first generation American.
Um we do have compassion for those who want to come here and immigrate.
We we we have compassion for people who even listen.
I grew up in South Florida.
We had migrant workers who came legally every year and took care of the sugarcane fields, and they took care of the orange groves.
Then they went back with the money that they earned.
This is a different thing, Tony.
People who are of backgrounds like you and like me, we are compassionate when it comes to building a better America and seeking the American dream.
But the people that are majority Hispanic on these borders, uh in these border towns, are against what they're seeing.
I mean, make sure that the people around the country understand that.
This is not Latino versus non-Latino.
This is American and those people who want laws to mean something.
You are a hundred percent right.
I'm you know, I'm Mexican American descent.
My district is over 70% Hispanic.
This has nothing to do with race.
This is about security.
This is about feeling safe in your own home.
Every American deserves the right to feel safe in their own home.
I don't care if it's rural America or urban America, if it's the Midwest, the East Coast, West Coast, the South, it doesn't matter.
And the reality is people in my district do not feel safe in their homes.
And this is the part Biden and and Nancy Pelosi don't understand Bethel, they don't understand.
People do not feel safe in their homes.
Right.
And why?
Because Joe Biden has opened up the borders.
Yeah, it's Tony Gonzalez, uh again, U.S. representative.
He's right there on the border right now, even as we speak.
Uh, and he's getting a job done right.
I appreciate the job that you do, and I appreciate you telling the truth.
What I don't appreciate is what we're getting from this administration.
And let me give you an example.
Um, Novak Djokovic is one of the best tennis players on the planet.
He's great.
Uh, I I like watching tennis.
The guy's a winner.
The guy comes from a very harsh part of the world.
I mean, he was war-torn not very long ago, and he's made good for himself, his family, and his community.
He is not allowed to come here because he is not vaccinated.
He has decided, through informed consent, like I have, to not get the shot.
He's allowed to decide that.
Doesn't have COVID.
He's willing to show you that he doesn't have COVID.
He is literally not allowed to come into the country and play in a tennis tournament for two weeks in New York.
Yet every single day, we've got people coming across the border that are not asked to show their vaccination card.
They're allowed to stay, and the taxpayers will fly them somewhere, give them a free smartphone and some money.
Tony, explain to me what what I'm getting wrong here when Karine Jean-Pierre says this is not hypocrisy.
Yeah, Joe Biden's Joe Biden's words do not equate to their actions.
Yes.
They are the exact opposite.
And actions say everything.
And they are choosing winners and losers.
And the losers are the American public.
I mean, there's a lot of people that did not want to get vaccinated for various different reasons.
This is America.
You get to choose, not the government dictating.
Yes, you know, uh, I'll go back to the border and and and the border patrol agents.
I have many, you know, a large percentage of border patrol agents that still have not been vaccinated.
Oh, by the way, going back to you know the demographics, the the bulk of it uh of uh border patrol agents are Hispanic, right?
And they don't want to get vaccinated for various different reasons.
Yet you have the DHS secretary and the and the Biden administration threatening to fire them.
We've seen them already fire uh military military members.
We've seen them do this.
Weaponizing our government policy, it is dangerous.
And and to pick winners and losers and the losers being the American public, it's unfair.
We've got verifiable studies now that say that men 40 years old and younger are getting myocarditis, a major heart issue by getting the vaccine.
In fact, in the Nordic countries, they stopped giving it to males 30 years old and younger because of the fear of myocarditis.
We know there are issues with these shots.
We also know that the CDC has changed its guidance.
And it's it was always just guidance, they were just suggestions.
We didn't have to do it, but for some reason it was forced upon us.
But they said even if you had COVID, you don't have to wear a mask if you're non-symptomatic.
Um and they say that no, you don't have to worry about uh uh treating vaccinated people differently than unvaccinated people.
Why then isn't this administration getting in lockstep?
They keep pretending the CDC has all this power, except when the CDC says something they're not they're not okay with.
Tony, in your heart of hearts, do you believe like I do that this is just about controlling the people, and it's not really about our health?
It is 100% about control.
It's 100% about being in an ivory tower, and it's an elitism that this administration has.
I know what is best for you little people.
Right.
And it is absolutely wrong.
You know, look, you want to get four shots, you want to get 10 shots, you want to wear three masks, do whatever you like, and that that makes you feel comfortable, but don't dictate to others.
One, don't dictate to others.
Two, don't fire those that are doing the work because they don't believe in this system.
And so that's the dangerous part of it.
A large part, I believe, a large part of it is is they're trying to reshape America in a different image.
And that image is a is one that does away with law enforcement, any type of law enforcement, military, border patrol, local law enforcement.
They want to re the and they want to have a social worker come out and to your 911 call instead of a law enforcement officer.
It's very systematic in what they're doing.
This isn't by chance.
And they've literally said that.
Uh don't call the police if the actor is already gone.
Call a social worker.
It's Tony Gonzalez, U.S. representative, District 23 Republican, great state of Texas, go to Gonzalez with an S at the end.
House.gov, find out more about the good work that he's doing.
Title 42 was protecting us from people who had disease from coming into the country.
Tony, tell the people watching and listening if you don't mind.
Are there people coming across the border right now that are COVID-19 positive?
Every day, every minute, we have hundreds of people coming back.
Do we send them back immediately?
Many in many cases they don't.
In many cases, they are sent to your neighborhood.
Because this isn't just about Texas.
They're going every state in America, I guarantee you, they are illegal aliens that are being flown or bust to your community.
And and uh there is no end in sight.
Uh, Part of what we've done in Congress is to go not only highlight the problems, but to go when Republicans win back the house, what are we going to do?
You're going to see Republicans here in about two weeks roll out this commitment to America.
And part of that commitment to America is going to be how we're going to secure the border from a legislative standpoint.
Now we won't have all branches of government.
Biden will still be in the White House, but we will be able to stop the bleeding.
And you have to remember the power of the purse starts in the house.
And I think it's time that House Republicans start wielding it to prevent some of this erosion of what America looks like and going forward.
You know, I talked to former U.S. Representative Ted Poe yesterday, who said the same exact thing.
All funding starts in the House of Representatives.
So let's get specific in the last minute or so that we have here, Tony.
When it comes to you guys taking the house back, which I I believe it's going to happen if people go and vote, and if people don't sit back in their laurels, you guys will get the house back.
What can you do when it comes to defunding what it is?
I mean, do we have to fund plane trips to White Plains, New York for people who want to go there who came across illegally?
Do we have to give them free phones?
Do we have to just let them uh get some free money and get some entitlements as soon as they get here?
Can you defund that in the house?
Is that in the plan?
You absolutely can.
Now you have to understand the problem.
And the last thing you want to do is break anything.
Yeah.
But you have to realize to go, wait a second here.
You know, in San Antonio, you've got you've got firefighters and police officers that are sucked up into this migrant center.
And you have a mayor that is saying, we're going to be refunded.
You know, the federal government is going to give us money, uh, reimburse us for this.
That money's coming from FEMA.
So you have to look into these specific accounts and be able to go, you know what, you pick or choose where you want to go.
There absolutely is an opportunity an appetite for that.
And I think you're going to see how you're going to see House Republicans uh find ways to force the administration to do what is right.
To that point, Tony, can you also stop this free college stuff?
Again, the House of Representatives has to do anything that has to do with funding or giving away some free money.
The Department of Ed doesn't have the power to do it.
Biden doesn't have the power to do it through executive fiat.
Can the House of Representatives say we're not going to give people a half a trillion dollars in free college?
Can you do that?
I think you can.
I think I've I've learned the fight is never over.
There's a lot of ways to be able to prevent bad legislation.
This isn't even legislation, bad policy from the White House from enacting.
Another one is you're going to see House Republicans very much committed to to doing away with these 87,000 new IRS agents.
I I go all over my district.
Not one person has said, hey, Tony, if you could just do one thing, can you double the size of the IRS for me?
You know, can you audit me and my neighbor?
Right.
Not one person is saying that.
They're going, hey, you know, I'm paying, I'm paying the inflation is through the roof.
The borders going out of control.
So I I believe, you know, when Republicans win back the house, we have a duty to the American public to stop the bleeding.
And I think you're going to see us committed more than ever.
Bonzales.house.gov is doing a great job.
District 23 Republican.
Uh, it's Tony Gonzalez from the great state of Texas, where I am.
Tony, thanks a million for coming on.
And uh, we're looking forward to that commitment to America.
