  Scott. I'm Preston. That's Grant. Great to be with you. Day
• 0:22
  eight thirty two of America held hostage and I am thrilled to have with us
• 0:27
  once again for a monthly visit chat, if you will us Congresswoman Cat Camick
• 0:33
  from Florida's third congressional District. Congresswoman, how are you? Good morning?
• 0:38
  How are you? I'm doing well? Dude? Do your friends call you
• 0:41
  congresswoman? No? God, no, are you kidding me? Well?
• 0:51
  I was just curious. I mean, I mean, it's it's it can
• 0:55
  be a term of endearment and it could also be a term of great insult.
• 0:58
  I mean, I don't know. No, I don't even let my
• 1:00
  team call me congresswoman. Every one calls me Cat. And as we speak
• 1:06
  right now, I'm literally helping take the trash out with my husband. So
• 1:08
  if that's any indication of how they keep me humble, there you go,
• 1:15
  come on, take it out the trash. So am I to assume you're
• 1:22
  in Washington? Then no, No, We've got we've got some trash down
• 1:27
  here too. You know bananigans that we seem to always find ourselves dealing with
• 1:34
  Hey, I gotta ask you, um the the White House secretary, who
• 1:38
  is just remarkable in her own light. Oh my gosh, what a peach.
• 1:44
  Yeah boy, Um Joe Biden is reduced to illegal immigration. Oh my
• 1:52
  gosh. You know present last night I ended up doing an entire Facebook live
• 1:57
  on one of the other lives that this administration had told recently, which was
• 2:02
  that Republicans wanted to cut veterans benefits, which it went so far as to
• 2:07
  actually issue a press release about this on their website and do the whole song
• 2:13
  and dance over the debt ceiling negotiation, which, as we all know,
• 2:16
  is complete BS. It's a nonsense. You can do a quick Google search,
• 2:21
  you can lead the text of the bill. Veterans aren't mentioned once.
• 2:23
  Now they're saying that he's reduced immigration illegal immigration by nine I think they meant
• 2:28
  to say he's increased it by ninety percent infectually more than that. If you
• 2:31
  look at their own data from Homeland Security, it's absurd. I mean,
• 2:37
  this is what I know. We all get frustrated, but looking more broadly,
• 2:43
  think about what they're saying and how they're saying it. On not just
• 2:47
  this but everything. They have destroyed the credibility of the United States by straight
• 2:55
  up lying, and then they act shocked and appalled when people don't believe their
• 3:00
  lies. And then our allies abroad are sitting there saying, how can we
• 3:05
  depend on these people? You can't trust the thing that they say. They
• 3:07
  lie to their own people all the time. And then our enemies are saying,
• 3:12
  they don't have a clue what's going on. They're on people don't even
• 3:15
  trust them. This administration is dangerous. How is it possible that and this
• 3:22
  is a common refrain with you and me, how is it possible that the
• 3:27
  for example, the Republican Senatorial Committee, the Republican House Committee, why are
• 3:31
  they not running ads, grabbing all of these sound bites, one issue at
• 3:37
  a time, and just running it, just letting people hear and see the
• 3:43
  lies and then the counterbalance the truth. So you and I have agreed on
• 3:49
  this for as long as I can. Remember that Republicans have always been slow
• 3:53
  and weak on the messaging, and I am eternally optimistic. So I think
• 4:00
  that's going to turn around. That we're starting to see some signs of life,
• 4:03
  and we are starting to do that. So there's thirty one targeted seats
• 4:08
  around the country where we're trying to take out Democrats, and there's digital ads
• 4:15
  going up with those kinds of clips, billboards, you know, things like
• 4:20
  that. All that is starting to happen because voters in these particular targeted seats,
• 4:28
  they I think, do not understand how radical of the left has become.
• 4:32
  So this is happening. We of course don't see it in our neck
• 4:38
  of the woods because we've got Republican's representing so many of our seats, and
• 4:43
  so we wouldn't see those types of ads. So it should be a little
• 4:46
  bit encouraging that Republicans are starting to target and use the dollars that they raise
• 4:53
  and work hard to raise a little bit more efficiently. The Morning Show with
• 4:56
  Preston Scotty one News Radio one hundred point step WFLA. She represents Florida's third
• 5:08
  congressional district as Congresswoman Cat Camick with us this morning on the Morning Show,
• 5:14
  Let's set aside the obvious answer of Joe Biden and the extreme of the Democrat
• 5:19
  Party, which is at this point, I think a majority of the party
• 5:24
  in Congress, in your opinion, what is the single biggest problem issued danger
• 5:30
  that Congress can address. Oh ah, do we have eight hours? Well,
• 5:40
  and that's I mean, and there's that's part of the problem, Kat.
• 5:44
  But but still if we if if let's say the United States gives you
• 5:49
  a White House and the Senate is their consensus in your caucus, what is
• 5:59
  job one? Hyps? Okay, there's two. There's two hypotheticals here.
• 6:04
  There's one of what can we do today with just the Republicans in the House,
• 6:11
  and then the hypothetical two of what we could do if we had the
• 6:13
  Senate, the House and the White House. Right, So hypothetical one with
• 6:18
  us just having one chamber. And this is happening. It is taking on
• 6:25
  the regulatory regime. People don't realize this, and you're probably sitting here saying,
• 6:30
  this is probably the least sexy thing you could talk about at eight o'clock
• 6:33
  on a morning. I'm sixty two years old. I don't go with sexy.
• 6:42
  This is why we don't have nice things. Preston, honestly, come
• 6:45
  on, come on, let's just deal with it. So think about this
• 6:49
  regulatory regime. It is I call it affectionately the fourth branch of government because
• 6:57
  the regulatory regime are really the core, the rotten core, where we have
• 7:04
  all of these issues with beer. Crops that are unelected, can't be fired,
• 7:11
  don't have names, you can't find out where they are, and they
• 7:15
  cost off as taxpayers two trillion dollars a year more in what we pay for
• 7:20
  our goods and services. We can't even get a ballpark on what those regulations
• 7:26
  cost us taxpayers in hiring, keeping those people employed, enforcement compliance. That
• 7:32
  number doesn't even exist. So in the short term, with one chamber,
• 7:36
  strategically we're trying to jam the Senate in the White House into forcing them to
• 7:43
  cut down the regulatory regime significantly. So that's a huge, huge thing that
• 7:48
  people don't even realize exists. It's the regulatory environment that kills industry. That's
• 7:54
  the thing that they're using to get their political agenda done. That's something we
• 7:57
  can do right away. Second thing that you ask me on that hypothetical was
• 8:01
  what would be order of business Number one? I think you got to secure
• 8:03
  the border. You have to secure the border in like a real meaningful way.
• 8:09
  That has to happen because if we don't stem that flow, if we
• 8:13
  don't stop the illegal immigration, that's coming across. We're gon we're just going
• 8:18
  to be irreparably harm second thing we need to do is the spending and the
• 8:26
  debt. You got thirty two trillion dollars in debt and you have a deficit
• 8:30
  that we keep tinkering with. What we would need is someone to have a
• 8:33
  backbone of steel who stands up and says, y'all, this is going to
• 8:37
  be painful, but we can no longer sustain the interest alone on the debt.
• 8:41
  We have to start paying down the principle, which means we're going to
• 8:45
  tighten our belt significantly and we're gonna pay down this debt. We could put
• 8:48
  in place a structured debt repayment plan that would get this country back on track
• 8:54
  and save generations from that burden. And when we are strong economics, when
• 9:00
  we have our ducks in a row here, we are the powerhouse that we
• 9:03
  need to be. And until we address that, everything else takes a back
• 9:09
  seat. God bless you for finally saying it. I can. I have
• 9:13
  been waiting for members of Congress to step up and say, especially in the
• 9:20
  Republican Party, hello, let's deal with the debt, because that's been that
• 9:24
  was even a failure under the Trump administration. We did not address the debt,
• 9:30
  but all right, stand by, we're gonna pick up right there.
• 9:33
  I feel so bad not just cutting off our conversation, but there are birds
• 9:37
  singing in the background, for Pete's sake. I mean, when you're talking
• 9:43
  to somebody and birds are singing in the background, you just feel evil for
• 9:46
  stopping it. Sixteen minutes after the hour, more with Congresswoman Catchmock on The
• 9:52
  Morning Show with Preston Scott. WLA on your phone with the iHeart radio app
• 9:56
  and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox and so so
• 10:00
  here we go my Hearts radio station. The US Congresswoman Cat Cammock with US
• 10:09
  Florida's third Congressional district our guests here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
• 10:13
  One more segment, Cat EV's it seems like every automobile manufacturer in the world
• 10:18
  is going ev ev EV And if we went all evs tomorrow, we couldn't
• 10:24
  handle it. We can't power the grid, we can't charge them up.
• 10:28
  The cost of replacing the batteries is crazy. Is there a role Congress needs
• 10:31
  to play looking down the road to slowing this train down because we're not there
• 10:37
  yet. That's that's the crazy part about it. You have these these evy
• 10:43
  batteries that you know, when you go to replace them, they're ten thousand
• 10:46
  dollars. You can't sustain them. You've got, you know, the electric
• 10:50
  charging stations to take forty five minutes. And the government is subsidizing this,
• 10:56
  which means you and I are subsidizing this. This is a faulty strategy.
• 11:00
  And when I met with one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world the
• 11:03
  other day, they said, and I quote, we need help. While
• 11:07
  we appreciate the big push that um, sorry, my neighbor's driving by right
• 11:15
  now, I'm walking on the road present. Listen, my neighbor Bubba literally
• 11:24
  just drove by in his four truck. He would say in half when when
• 11:28
  they say we appreciate the emphasis, we appreciate that you guys are trying to
• 11:35
  push us in this direction. We need currently three hundred mind new mind to
• 11:43
  sustain the minerals that are for the batteries that are currently inexistence, the cars
• 11:50
  that are on the road. Where in the heck are we going to get
• 11:54
  those minds? If the Biden administration refuses refuses to allow us to mind for
• 12:00
  our own critical mineral. Well, I was just gonna I was gonna tie
• 12:03
  this, kat I was going to tie this to the fact that he's pushing
• 12:05
  the military to go electric. And all of this makes us more dependent on
• 12:09
  China because they're cornering the lithium market exactly, everything from cobalt to nickel to
• 12:16
  the lithium one hundred percent. We are seeing where even the projects that we
• 12:22
  are financing abroad, like in Australia, for example, there is no restriction
• 12:28
  on paxed, hail funded mining in Australia being sold to China. Tell me
• 12:33
  that's not crazy. Tell me we're not insane. That right, there is
• 12:37
  something that people should be screaming at the top of their lungs. But it's
• 12:41
  almost like lackable. You cannot in but one person simply cannot stand there and
• 12:46
  say they're spending out of control. In the ev situation is a mess,
• 12:50
  and here's all the things that we're uncovering. You start to feel crazy.
• 12:54
  And so that's why I think we have to be so dedicated in getting the
• 13:01
  House to a supermajority, getting the Senate to the majority, and winning back
• 13:07
  the White House. We have got some serious damage control to do. We
• 13:09
  basically need to put a tourniquet on this thing and stop the bleeding. That's
• 13:13
  the level that we're out, and we're going to bleed out in a few
• 13:16
  in a few years if you don't stop this. All right, So let
• 13:18
  me end where you and I almost kind of started when we first started these
• 13:24
  little meetings every month, I had told you that, in my opinion,
• 13:30
  Well, let me set this up. Barack Obama said when he took when
• 13:33
  he took over the White House, that his goal was to transform the economy
• 13:39
  and this country. I think most of us would agree. He went in
• 13:43
  that direction, but he didn't do nearly what's been done just in the last
• 13:46
  two years alone. And so my question is this, If all of this
• 13:52
  that we're talking about, and the myriad of issues that we haven't even touched
• 13:56
  on today, if it's not intentional, what is it. I go back
• 14:05
  to what I said, then, The ultra progressive left agenda is not about
• 14:11
  a singular issue. It is about the agenda of dependency and control. They
• 14:18
  grow the size of government, They make people dependent on programs so that they
• 14:22
  being the big government, individuals can stay in control and in power. That
• 14:28
  is all. This is When people ask me, why do we do the
• 14:31
  spending, why are we doing this ev stuff, Why are we expanding welfare?
• 14:35
  Why are we doing all these things, it's because they want people beholden
• 14:41
  to government. Because human nature, you're not going to vote against your quote
• 14:46
  unquote best interests, even when the best interests would be for you to be
• 14:50
  free and independent and not beholden to a government entity. In the short term,
• 14:54
  if the government is paying subsidizing your mortgage and paying for your and covering
• 15:01
  the bills for your kids, and your healthcare is covered by the taxpayers,
• 15:05
  do you really think you're going to vote for the person who turns around and
• 15:09
  says, hey, for the long term sustainability, health, in ordination,
• 15:11
  and our people people to be independent and not tied to government. It's a
• 15:18
  hard message to sell the people who have their entire life wrapped up in government
• 15:24
  dependency, in control. That's what it is.
