What happens at the southern 242 00:16:17,636 --> 00:16:18,637 What happens at the southern border? What’s coming in 243 00:16:18,637 --> 00:16:19,237 border? What’s coming in affects us and the third point 244 00:16:19,237 --> 00:16:22,403 affects us and the third point was budget. 245 00:16:28,036 --> 00:16:32,370 Being a Republican from a 246 00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:35,970 Being a Republican from a fiscal conservative, we’re 247 00:16:35,970 --> 00:16:36,936 fiscal conservative, we’re spending so much money on 248 00:16:36,936 --> 00:16:41,136 spending so much money on things that we don’t need to 249 00:16:41,136 --> 00:16:44,370 things that we don’t need to spend money on and our National 250 00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:47,670 spend money on and our National debt is now up to over $25 251 00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:51,203 debt is now up to over $25 trillion dollars. We can’t keep 252 00:16:51,203 --> 00:16:53,970 trillion dollars. We can’t keep kicking I think that was a good 253 00:16:53,970 --> 00:16:55,403 kicking I think that was a good thing. However, I think when we 254 00:16:55,403 --> 00:16:56,936 thing. However, I think when we look back, we’re going to say 255 00:16:56,936 --> 00:16:58,437 look back, we’re going to say this is one of the largest 256 00:16:58,437 --> 00:17:00,303 this is one of the largest National mistakes that we made. 257 00:17:00,303 --> 00:17:02,170 National mistakes that we made. We just added a huge amount of 258 00:17:02,170 --> 00:17:04,170 We just added a huge amount of debt and the things that we 259 00:17:04,170 --> 00:17:07,869 debt and the things that we spent the money on we’re really 260 00:17:07,869 --> 00:17:09,736 spent the money on we’re really an ineffective. so I think that 261 00:17:09,736 --> 00:17:12,669 an ineffective. so I think that we try to take the health 262 00:17:12,669 --> 00:17:13,870 we try to take the health precautions that we’re still 263 00:17:13,870 --> 00:17:15,603 precautions that we’re still taking them and it’s getting 264 00:17:15,603 --> 00:17:17,470 taking them and it’s getting worse, but I think when we’re 265 00:17:17,470 --> 00:17:18,870 worse, but I think when we’re gonna look back in retrospect 266 00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:22,303 gonna look back in retrospect and say this was pretty much a 267 00:17:22,303 --> 00:17:27,336 and say this was pretty much a a Super influenza and we highly 268 00:17:27,336 --> 00:17:28,603 a Super influenza and we highly overreacted and we also took 269 00:17:28,603 --> 00:17:31,270 overreacted and we also took away a lot of people’s rights. 270 00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:32,136 away a lot of people’s rights. so I’m I don’t think that if I 271 00:17:32,136 --> 00:17:36,204 so I’m I don’t think that if I were in Congress today I. Pull 272 00:17:36,204 --> 00:17:38,970 were in Congress today I. Pull the plug on the additional 273 00:17:38,970 --> 00:17:41,569 the plug on the additional spending. Alright, I’ll keep 274 00:17:41,569 --> 00:17:43,503 spending. Alright, I’ll keep going with chef. What do you 275 00:17:43,503 --> 00:17:45,703 going with chef. What do you think of how Congress has 276 00:17:45,703 --> 00:17:49,436 think of how Congress has reacted to this pandemic? I 277 00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:51,536 reacted to this pandemic? I think it was a huge tobacco. I 278 00:17:51,536 --> 00:17:53,203 think it was a huge tobacco. I mean when you take a look at 279 00:17:53,203 --> 00:17:55,937 mean when you take a look at what happened, first of all the 280 00:17:55,937 --> 00:17:59,803 what happened, first of all the newest one that Nancy Pelosi, 281 00:17:59,803 --> 00:18:01,937 newest one that Nancy Pelosi, she wants to give money to 282 00:18:01,937 --> 00:18:03,303 she wants to give money to illegals and all these 283 00:18:03,303 --> 00:18:04,870 illegals and all these immigrants. I would definitely 284 00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:06,837 immigrants. I would definitely vote against that. I think that 285 00:18:06,837 --> 00:18:08,870 vote against that. I think that the problem is it goes all the 286 00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:10,471 the problem is it goes all the way back as the same old 287 00:18:10,471 --> 00:18:11,969 way back as the same old Congress. You got a bunch of 288 00:18:11,969 --> 00:18:12,603 Congress. You got a bunch of people who have been there. 289 00:18:12,603 --> 00:18:13,470 people who have been there. They have become a strange from 290 00:18:13,470 --> 00:18:16,637 They have become a strange from the people. 291 00:18:17,037 --> 00:18:19,937 Cannot relate to the everyday 292 00:18:19,937 --> 00:18:21,604 Cannot relate to the everyday person They can’t relate to the 293 00:18:21,604 --> 00:18:23,970 person They can’t relate to the person who is a small business 294 00:18:23,970 --> 00:18:25,237 person who is a small business owner who have their mortgages 295 00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:27,270 owner who have their mortgages tied in life’s work tied into 296 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:30,337 tied in life’s work tied into their businesses and so what we 297 00:18:30,337 --> 00:18:32,470 their businesses and so what we had was, we had a Congress who 298 00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:35,703 had was, we had a Congress who put together this package where 299 00:18:35,703 --> 00:18:36,770 put together this package where basically they did the same 300 00:18:36,770 --> 00:18:38,303 basically they did the same thing that they’ve been doing 301 00:18:38,303 --> 00:18:41,037 thing that they’ve been doing forever. They bailed out the 302 00:18:41,037 --> 00:18:43,570 forever. They bailed out the banks of the question is if if 303 00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:46,570 banks of the question is if if banks are making billions of 304 00:18:46,570 --> 00:18:47,370 banks are making billions of dollars per quarter, why do 305 00:18:47,370 --> 00:18:49,103 dollars per quarter, why do they need to continue to be 306 00:18:49,103 --> 00:18:52,637 they need to continue to be bailed out, big businesses and 307 00:18:52,637 --> 00:18:54,503 bailed out, big businesses and corporations? Meanwhile, the 308 00:18:54,503 --> 00:18:56,970 corporations? Meanwhile, the little man was left with his 309 00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:58,003 little man was left with his hands standing out and standing 310 00:18:58,003 --> 00:19:01,137 hands standing out and standing out the 1200. 311 00:19:02,836 --> 00:19:04,470 Per person that that barely 312 00:19:04,470 --> 00:19:07,603 Per person that that barely pays any bills, it’s like all 313 00:19:07,603 --> 00:19:09,304 pays any bills, it’s like all they cared about really was big 314 00:19:09,304 --> 00:19:13,237 they cared about really was big business big and nothing about 315 00:19:13,237 --> 00:19:14,870 business big and nothing about small business owners nothing 316 00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:18,270 small business owners nothing about the everyday average 317 00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:20,803 about the everyday average worker. So I think it was a 318 00:19:20,803 --> 00:19:21,437 worker. So I think it was a huge mistake. I don’t think 319 00:19:21,437 --> 00:19:23,003 huge mistake. I don’t think that they thought it through. I 320 00:19:23,003 --> 00:19:24,369 that they thought it through. I think the President Trump had 321 00:19:24,369 --> 00:19:26,304 think the President Trump had to do something by the time the 322 00:19:26,304 --> 00:19:28,104 to do something by the time the Bill got to him. You know 323 00:19:28,104 --> 00:19:30,604 Bill got to him. You know because people were hurting so 324 00:19:30,604 --> 00:19:32,437 because people were hurting so I think that he did right by 325 00:19:32,437 --> 00:19:35,571 I think that he did right by signing it because if he had 326 00:19:35,571 --> 00:19:37,370 signing it because if he had taken more time and pushed it 327 00:19:37,370 --> 00:19:38,003 taken more time and pushed it back, then people would have 328 00:19:38,003 --> 00:19:39,570 back, then people would have continue to struggle even 329 00:19:39,570 --> 00:19:40,437 continue to struggle even further. So no, I think that we 330 00:19:40,437 --> 00:19:43,670 further. So no, I think that we need some. 331 00:19:44,071 --> 00:19:46,670 Some different some new blood 332 00:19:46,670 --> 00:19:49,104 Some different some new blood in Washington with with more 333 00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:52,403 in Washington with with more forward thinking and I I plan 334 00:19:52,403 --> 00:19:55,237 forward thinking and I I plan on being the type of person. 335 00:19:55,237 --> 00:19:56,937 on being the type of person.

We will have not just the trade that 542 00:30:27,036 --> 00:30:30,270 have not just the trade that talks about welding plumbing 543 00:30:30,270 --> 00:30:31,903 talks about welding plumbing electricians, but multifaceted 544 00:30:31,903 --> 00:30:34,236 electricians, but multifaceted tradesmen because as we move 545 00:30:34,236 --> 00:30:35,136 tradesmen because as we move forward in the future, even if 546 00:30:35,136 --> 00:30:36,469 forward in the future, even if you look at what’s going on at 547 00:30:36,469 --> 00:30:38,570 you look at what’s going on at the shipyard part of the 548 00:30:38,570 --> 00:30:39,536 the shipyard part of the problem that they have and the 549 00:30:39,536 --> 00:30:40,869 problem that they have and the restructuring of the shipyard 550 00:30:40,869 --> 00:30:43,003 restructuring of the shipyard was the fact that they had 551 00:30:43,003 --> 00:30:43,603 was the fact that they had workers that were not quite 552 00:30:43,603 --> 00:30:48,203 workers that were not quite equipped on how. Fix the 553 00:30:48,203 --> 00:30:49,969 equipped on how. Fix the vessels you see and so that was 554 00:30:49,969 --> 00:30:51,903 vessels you see and so that was a huge problem and a part of 555 00:30:51,903 --> 00:30:53,869 a huge problem and a part of that also had to do with not 556 00:30:53,869 --> 00:30:54,703 that also had to do with not being able to have the 557 00:30:54,703 --> 00:30:56,370 being able to have the schematics because certain 558 00:30:56,370 --> 00:30:58,569 schematics because certain companies weren’t allowed to to 559 00:30:58,569 --> 00:31:00,469 companies weren’t allowed to to be privy to that information. 560 00:31:00,469 --> 00:31:01,935 be privy to that information. But the huge problem was the 561 00:31:01,935 --> 00:31:03,303 But the huge problem was the fact that we didn’t have the 562 00:31:03,303 --> 00:31:04,136 fact that we didn’t have the skilled labor, but the people 563 00:31:04,136 --> 00:31:05,369 skilled labor, but the people who knew how to work on a bit 564 00:31:05,369 --> 00:31:08,336 who knew how to work on a bit work on the vessels through 565 00:31:08,336 --> 00:31:12,069 work on the vessels through this plan that I wrote and it 566 00:31:12,069 --> 00:31:12,803 this plan that I wrote and it includes the funding we’ll be 567 00:31:12,803 --> 00:31:15,370 includes the funding we’ll be able to do all of that. So 568 00:31:15,370 --> 00:31:16,869 able to do all of that. So hopefully that we got a couple 569 00:31:16,869 --> 00:31:20,336 hopefully that we got a couple of retired military and. 570 00:31:20,435 --> 00:31:22,903 The view I’m sure you’re aware 571 00:31:22,903 --> 00:31:23,969 The view I’m sure you’re aware obviously the shipbuilding 572 00:31:23,969 --> 00:31:25,469 obviously the shipbuilding should prepare a very important 573 00:31:25,469 --> 00:31:28,036 should prepare a very important in the third district and I 574 00:31:28,036 --> 00:31:30,936 in the third district and I think is probably the correct 575 00:31:30,936 --> 00:31:32,703 think is probably the correct that we don’t have enough 576 00:31:32,703 --> 00:31:35,169 that we don’t have enough people coming in to the skilled 577 00:31:35,169 --> 00:31:36,869 people coming in to the skilled trades. A lot to a lot of them 578 00:31:36,869 --> 00:31:39,936 trades. A lot to a lot of them are getting ready to retire. 579 00:31:39,936 --> 00:31:42,670 are getting ready to retire. this is a big issue for our 580 00:31:42,670 --> 00:31:44,136 this is a big issue for our entire region here in Hampton 581 00:31:44,136 --> 00:31:46,803 entire region here in Hampton Roads. What’s the role of the 582 00:31:46,803 --> 00:31:48,436 Roads. What’s the role of the congressman in addressing it? 583 00:31:48,436 --> 00:31:51,703 congressman in addressing it? Doak is why don’t you go? Okay? 584 00:31:51,703 --> 00:31:53,403 Doak is why don’t you go? Okay? We’ve had a federal approach of 585 00:31:53,403 --> 00:31:55,670 We’ve had a federal approach of looking at goals 2000 that Bill 586 00:31:55,670 --> 00:31:56,703 looking at goals 2000 that Bill Clinton actually tried to draft 587 00:31:56,703 --> 00:31:57,536 Clinton actually tried to draft and then we had no child left 588 00:31:57,536 --> 00:32:00,538 and then we had no child left behind during the. And then we 589 00:32:00,538 --> 00:32:04,705 behind during the. And then we have the common core criteria 590 00:32:04,705 --> 00:32:05,938 have the common core criteria for our education system in 591 00:32:05,938 --> 00:32:07,805 for our education system in America. I think the federal 592 00:32:07,805 --> 00:32:09,439 America. I think the federal government is kind of failed on 593 00:32:09,439 --> 00:32:11,772 government is kind of failed on all three of those particular 594 00:32:11,772 --> 00:32:14,805 all three of those particular areas. I believe that education 595 00:32:14,805 --> 00:32:16,439 areas. I believe that education here at our local level. It’s 596 00:32:16,439 --> 00:32:17,839 here at our local level. It’s not a federal function. It’s 597 00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:20,005 not a federal function. It’s not one of the express powers 598 00:32:20,005 --> 00:32:21,672 not one of the express powers of Congress, so I think that 599 00:32:21,672 --> 00:32:22,372 of Congress, so I think that the Department of Education 600 00:32:22,372 --> 00:32:24,672 the Department of Education could be shut down now. what we 601 00:32:24,672 --> 00:32:26,272 could be shut down now. what we do here locally is important 602 00:32:26,272 --> 00:32:27,938 do here locally is important and the private public 603 00:32:27,938 --> 00:32:30,439 and the private public partnerships are we have a 604 00:32:30,439 --> 00:32:32,405 partnerships are we have a unique opportunity here in the 605 00:32:32,405 --> 00:32:33,372 unique opportunity here in the ship building and then the 606 00:32:33,372 --> 00:32:34,571 ship building and then the other trades to be able set up 607 00:32:34,571 --> 00:32:34,905 other trades to be able set up some of these schools to be 608 00:32:34,905 --> 00:32:38,172 some of these schools to be able to train. 609 00:32:38,705 --> 00:32:41,005 People and in the shipyard 610 00:32:41,005 --> 00:32:41,638 People and in the shipyard skills and the other skills 611 00:32:41,638 --> 00:32:43,471 skills and the other skills like the Madison said. So I 612 00:32:43,471 --> 00:32:45,438 like the Madison said. So I think that we should be giving 613 00:32:45,438 --> 00:32:47,138 think that we should be giving our students a classical 614 00:32:47,138 --> 00:32:48,672 our students a classical education and then at some 615 00:32:48,672 --> 00:32:51,972 education and then at some point to a better counseling 616 00:32:51,972 --> 00:32:53,305 point to a better counseling system, steer the people to the 617 00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:54,672 system, steer the people to the correct place where they wanna 618 00:32:54,672 --> 00:32:56,438 correct place where they wanna go and make their living. It 619 00:32:56,438 --> 00:32:58,672 go and make their living. It shouldn’t be all free College 620 00:32:58,672 --> 00:33:00,172 shouldn’t be all free College and it shouldn’t just be 621 00:33:00,172 --> 00:33:01,905 and it shouldn’t just be teaching them trades. So we I 622 00:33:01,905 --> 00:33:03,304 teaching them trades. So we I think if we did it smarter, we 623 00:33:03,304 --> 00:33:05,105 think if we did it smarter, we can do it better Well, let me 624 00:33:05,105 --> 00:33:06,706 can do it better Well, let me ask you about scaring people 625 00:33:06,706 --> 00:33:07,538 ask you about scaring people because you’re correct a lot of 626 00:33:07,538 --> 00:33:10,672 because you’re correct a lot of people. 627 00:33:12,005 --> 00:33:13,672 Did go into the trades during 628 00:33:13,672 --> 00:33:15,505 Did go into the trades during earlier generations, but the 629 00:33:15,505 --> 00:33:18,272 earlier generations, but the trend in this country has been 630 00:33:18,272 --> 00:33:20,005 trend in this country has been go to College. You’re gonna do 631 00:33:20,005 --> 00:33:22,272 go to College. You’re gonna do much better in life if you have 632 00:33:22,272 --> 00:33:25,304 much better in life if you have a four -year degree, How do you 633 00:33:25,304 --> 00:33:26,605 a four -year degree, How do you steer people when right now 634 00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:28,339 steer people when right now that I’m looking at these jobs 635 00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:29,605 that I’m looking at these jobs as ones maybe they want 636 00:33:29,605 --> 00:33:32,805 as ones maybe they want to pursue? 637 00:33:33,171 --> 00:33:35,538 If they gets toward College and 638 00:33:35,538 --> 00:33:37,172 If they gets toward College and then they fail, then they’re 639 00:33:37,172 --> 00:33:38,905 then they fail, then they’re placed in the other category. 640 00:33:38,905 --> 00:33:40,805 placed in the other category. It’s a delicate question. It’s 641 00:33:40,805 --> 00:33:41,805 It’s a delicate question. It’s hard to decide what you wanna 642 00:33:41,805 --> 00:33:43,505 hard to decide what you wanna do when you grow up And I’m 643 00:33:43,505 --> 00:33:44,972 do when you grow up And I’m sure there’s a lot of trades 644 00:33:44,972 --> 00:33:46,705 sure there’s a lot of trades people that started out in the 645 00:33:46,705 --> 00:33:48,972 people that started out in the College track or there’s traits 646 00:33:48,972 --> 00:33:50,471 College track or there’s traits people that started out in the 647 00:33:50,471 --> 00:33:52,071 people that started out in the trades and ended up going back 648 00:33:52,071 --> 00:33:53,605 trades and ended up going back to school. I think it’s just a 649 00:33:53,605 --> 00:33:55,472 to school. I think it’s just a question of being able to to 650 00:33:55,472 --> 00:33:57,971 question of being able to to really spend a little more time 651 00:33:57,971 --> 00:34:00,005 really spend a little more time and attention figuring out what 652 00:34:00,005 --> 00:34:01,572 and attention figuring out what they wanna do when they grow up 653 00:34:01,572 --> 00:34:02,505 they wanna do when they grow up and then start having some kind 654 00:34:02,505 --> 00:34:05,705 and then start having some kind of plan like Madison was. 655 00:34:05,872 --> 00:34:07,972 To be able to get them to the 656 00:34:07,972 --> 00:34:10,538 To be able to get them to the right place, Alright John. What 657 00:34:10,538 --> 00:34:12,405 right place, Alright John. What what do you think as I said big 658 00:34:12,405 --> 00:34:15,572 what do you think as I said big issue for the third district 659 00:34:15,572 --> 00:34:16,772 issue for the third district because the Navy has basically 660 00:34:16,772 --> 00:34:18,238 because the Navy has basically said that you know we’re 661 00:34:18,238 --> 00:34:22,005 said that you know we’re building carriers and subs and 662 00:34:22,005 --> 00:34:22,838 building carriers and subs and Newport News. We’re repairing 663 00:34:22,838 --> 00:34:25,538 Newport News. We’re repairing them up and down the James and 664 00:34:25,538 --> 00:34:27,205 them up and down the James and Elizabeth River. That’s the 665 00:34:27,205 --> 00:34:29,871 Elizabeth River. That’s the third district. It’s a very big 666 00:34:29,871 --> 00:34:33,138 third district. It’s a very big issue basically what we need is 667 00:34:33,138 --> 00:34:37,105 issue basically what we need is we need to regional vocational 668 00:34:37,105 --> 00:34:38,872 we need to regional vocational technical high schools. We 669 00:34:38,872 --> 00:34:40,172 technical high schools. We don’t need to shop classes. 670 00:34:40,172 --> 00:34:41,039 don’t need to shop classes. Some of the high school still 671 00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:41,772 Some of the high school still have the shop classes and we 672 00:34:41,772 --> 00:34:44,939 have the shop classes and we need something. 673 00:34:46,305 --> 00:34:48,272 Now, how do we stare people 674 00:34:48,272 --> 00:34:49,572 Now, how do we stare people toward that?

We that is gonna pick this area up so much and we 738 00:37:15,705 --> 00:37:18,272 this area up so much and we have such an ability to do that 739 00:37:18,272 --> 00:37:20,705 have such an ability to do that because we’ve got so many young 740 00:37:20,705 --> 00:37:23,139 because we’ve got so many young kids young adults really who 741 00:37:23,139 --> 00:37:25,205 kids young adults really who need to work.

I mean this is a unique opportunity and with the 746 00:37:31,438 --> 00:37:34,739 unique opportunity and with the unemployment. 747 00:37:35,006 --> 00:37:37,539 Hi, I mean the sky’s the limit 748 00:37:37,539 --> 00:37:39,572 Hi, I mean the sky’s the limit for here, so we absolutely have 749 00:37:39,572 --> 00:37:42,339 for here, so we absolutely have to have those schools. Alright, 750 00:37:42,339 --> 00:37:46,772 to have those schools. Alright, let me I think that’s the 751 00:37:46,772 --> 00:37:48,338 let me I think that’s the response as he said that 752 00:37:48,338 --> 00:37:50,638 response as he said that basically my plan wouldn’t work 753 00:37:50,638 --> 00:37:52,339 basically my plan wouldn’t work and he obviously hadn’t put a 754 00:37:52,339 --> 00:37:54,306 and he obviously hadn’t put a plan together. Secondly, when 755 00:37:54,306 --> 00:37:55,672 plan together. Secondly, when he start talking about regional 756 00:37:55,672 --> 00:37:56,872 he start talking about regional schools, you’re already talking 757 00:37:56,872 --> 00:37:59,506 schools, you’re already talking about exclusivity, you’re 758 00:37:59,506 --> 00:38:00,871 about exclusivity, you’re excluding children. a part of 759 00:38:00,871 --> 00:38:01,904 excluding children. a part of raising IQ is allowing them to 760 00:38:01,904 --> 00:38:03,770 raising IQ is allowing them to be able to be Associated with 761 00:38:03,770 --> 00:38:04,471 be able to be Associated with something. That’s a huge part, 762 00:38:04,471 --> 00:38:05,004 something. That’s a huge part, but he’s not working in 763 00:38:05,004 --> 00:38:08,637 but he’s not working in education. So, how would he 764 00:38:08,637 --> 00:38:10,504 education. So, how would he know other than reading a book? 765 00:38:10,504 --> 00:38:13,138 know other than reading a book? So what I’m talking about is 766 00:38:13,138 --> 00:38:14,904 So what I’m talking about is actually having the experience 767 00:38:14,904 --> 00:38:16,504 actually having the experience and knowing what it takes in 768 00:38:16,504 --> 00:38:18,737 and knowing what it takes in order to raise up to alright, 769 00:38:18,737 --> 00:38:20,370 order to raise up to alright, Let’s plan that I wrote is is 770 00:38:20,370 --> 00:38:21,737 Let’s plan that I wrote is is so and it’s foolproof. Thank 771 00:38:21,737 --> 00:38:24,670 so and it’s foolproof. Thank you. Alright. Well, let me talk 772 00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:27,204 you. Alright. Well, let me talk about the the policy.

The 869 00:42:59,173 --> 00:43:01,306 manufactured overseas. The reason is because they’re 870 00:43:01,306 --> 00:43:03,640 reason is because they’re willing to work for a much 871 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,740 willing to work for a much lower wage 872 00:43:07,140 --> 00:43:09,373 and Americans like the low cost 873 00:43:09,373 --> 00:43:13,140 and Americans like the low cost of those products because of 874 00:43:13,140 --> 00:43:16,773 of those products because of the labor cheap labor costs. 875 00:43:16,773 --> 00:43:19,606 the labor cheap labor costs. those are kind of jobs we want 876 00:43:19,606 --> 00:43:20,173 those are kind of jobs we want in the United States of 877 00:43:20,173 --> 00:43:23,306 in the United States of America. 878 00:43:23,973 --> 00:43:26,140 President Trump had exactly the 879 00:43:26,140 --> 00:43:28,673 President Trump had exactly the right idea as far as making 880 00:43:28,673 --> 00:43:32,139 right idea as far as making sure that we use bilateral 881 00:43:32,139 --> 00:43:33,639 sure that we use bilateral agreements and we go to the 882 00:43:33,639 --> 00:43:36,406 agreements and we go to the bargaining table. The level of 883 00:43:36,406 --> 00:43:39,573 bargaining table. The level of the balance of payments was for 884 00:43:39,573 --> 00:43:42,240 the balance of payments was for a particular year, billions and 885 00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:45,107 a particular year, billions and billions of dollars were were 886 00:43:45,107 --> 00:43:47,873 billions of dollars were were buying much less and we’re 887 00:43:47,873 --> 00:43:49,440 buying much less and we’re buying much more in selling 888 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,606 buying much more in selling much less. So I think I used to 889 00:43:53,606 --> 00:43:57,506 much less. So I think I used to be opposed to using tariffs and 890 00:43:57,506 --> 00:44:01,306 be opposed to using tariffs and those extra fees because I 891 00:44:01,306 --> 00:44:02,540 those extra fees because I thought a free trade was 892 00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:03,240 thought a free trade was better. That’s what the the 893 00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:06,673 better. That’s what the the said. but now I. 894 00:44:07,039 --> 00:44:10,840 But we should tackling and 895 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,873 But we should tackling and artistically use these tariffs 896 00:44:13,873 --> 00:44:17,139 artistically use these tariffs and the other methods that we 897 00:44:17,139 --> 00:44:20,839 and the other methods that we have to restrict the flow of 898 00:44:20,839 --> 00:44:23,006 have to restrict the flow of these cheap imports that are 899 00:44:23,006 --> 00:44:29,039 these cheap imports that are coming in that will boost our 900 00:44:29,039 --> 00:44:30,606 coming in that will boost our American economy and the level 901 00:44:30,606 --> 00:44:31,573 American economy and the level the playing field because we 902 00:44:31,573 --> 00:44:33,273 the playing field because we are not playing with level 903 00:44:33,273 --> 00:44:35,173 are not playing with level playing field, especially with 904 00:44:35,173 --> 00:44:37,540 playing field, especially with the intellectual property and 905 00:44:37,540 --> 00:44:40,773 the intellectual property and and the subsidies that these 906 00:44:40,773 --> 00:44:43,473 and the subsidies that these countries use we need to do 907 00:44:43,473 --> 00:44:46,606 countries use we need to do something a level of field. 908 00:44:46,606 --> 00:44:48,773 something a level of field. John Collin let’s talk about 909 00:44:48,773 --> 00:44:50,139 John Collin let’s talk about human rights violations and in 910 00:44:50,139 --> 00:44:53,473 human rights violations and in China, you know they. 911 00:44:57,539 --> 00:45:02,273 Seeing them to rise up and take 912 00:45:02,273 --> 00:45:04,940 Seeing them to rise up and take over their governments in some 913 00:45:04,940 --> 00:45:08,473 over their governments in some form of fashion at some point, 914 00:45:08,473 --> 00:45:12,540 form of fashion at some point, but in Hong Kong instance, you 915 00:45:12,540 --> 00:45:16,273 but in Hong Kong instance, you know a hundred years of British 916 00:45:16,273 --> 00:45:22,306 know a hundred years of British rule and then the next day they 917 00:45:22,306 --> 00:45:25,206 rule and then the next day they become Chinese. that was wrong. 918 00:45:25,206 --> 00:45:27,340 become Chinese. that was wrong. That should have never 919 00:45:27,340 --> 00:45:29,106 That should have never happened. We should be 920 00:45:29,106 --> 00:45:31,473 happened. We should be definitely supporting the 921 00:45:31,473 --> 00:45:36,073 definitely supporting the people of Hong Kong and Taiwan 922 00:45:36,073 --> 00:45:38,972 people of Hong Kong and Taiwan And again Taiwan’s an ally of 923 00:45:38,972 --> 00:45:41,873 And again Taiwan’s an ally of ours. If we turn our back on 924 00:45:41,873 --> 00:45:45,440 ours. If we turn our back on Taiwan and we expect. 925 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,107 Our allies to be there when we 926 00:45:49,107 --> 00:45:52,840 Our allies to be there when we really need it, we’ve got to 927 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,974 really need it, we’ve got to support 928 00:45:56,540 --> 00:45:59,207 them. How would you support 929 00:45:59,207 --> 00:46:03,138 them. How would you support them? Well? I mean, when did 930 00:46:03,138 --> 00:46:08,139 them? Well? I mean, when did the other day we just had a 931 00:46:08,139 --> 00:46:11,205 the other day we just had a black man getting killed by 932 00:46:11,205 --> 00:46:15,039 black man getting killed by officers having a knee on his 933 00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:17,305 officers having a knee on his neck. You know, I mean, there’s 934 00:46:17,305 --> 00:46:19,038 neck. You know, I mean, there’s been a smooth. These things 935 00:46:19,038 --> 00:46:20,971 been a smooth. These things happen right here in this 936 00:46:20,971 --> 00:46:22,705 happen right here in this country. I think that we need 937 00:46:22,705 --> 00:46:26,271 country. I think that we need to do is worry about ourselves. 938 00:46:26,271 --> 00:46:29,572 to do is worry about ourselves. First, you know you know, I’ve 939 00:46:29,572 --> 00:46:31,071 First, you know you know, I’ve heard a lot of stories about 940 00:46:31,071 --> 00:46:33,405 heard a lot of stories about you know people who are having 941 00:46:33,405 --> 00:46:35,338 you know people who are having problems outside the country or 942 00:46:35,338 --> 00:46:37,271 problems outside the country or you know immigrants that have 943 00:46:37,271 --> 00:46:38,971 you know immigrants that have come here and they wanna talk 944 00:46:38,971 --> 00:46:39,771 come here and they wanna talk about the plate and so on and 945 00:46:39,771 --> 00:46:40,338 about the plate and so on and so forth. I’m more concerned 946 00:46:40,338 --> 00:46:43,505 so forth. I’m more concerned about. 947 00:46:44,204 --> 00:46:46,537 Going on right here in America, 948 00:46:46,537 --> 00:46:48,771 Going on right here in America, I’m concerned about American 949 00:46:48,771 --> 00:46:50,705 I’m concerned about American workers being overlooked for 950 00:46:50,705 --> 00:46:53,705 workers being overlooked for foreign workers with these 951 00:46:53,705 --> 00:46:55,937 foreign workers with these visas. We need to shut that 952 00:46:55,937 --> 00:46:58,105 visas. We need to shut that down. I’m concerned about 953 00:46:58,105 --> 00:47:01,971 down. I’m concerned about people’s human rights going on 954 00:47:01,971 --> 00:47:04,138 people’s human rights going on being violated and rights 955 00:47:04,138 --> 00:47:05,705 being violated and rights constitutional rights being 956 00:47:05,705 --> 00:47:07,705 constitutional rights being violated right here in our 957 00:47:07,705 --> 00:47:09,871 violated right here in our state. So I think that before 958 00:47:09,871 --> 00:47:11,371 state. So I think that before we start worrying about what’s 959 00:47:11,371 --> 00:47:13,871 we start worrying about what’s going on at the course, we want 960 00:47:13,871 --> 00:47:16,971 going on at the course, we want to support them. Hey, get your 961 00:47:16,971 --> 00:47:17,471 to support them. Hey, get your stuff you know we wanna make 962 00:47:17,471 --> 00:47:19,737 stuff you know we wanna make sure that you’re good. If you 963 00:47:19,737 --> 00:47:22,704 sure that you’re good. If you need some help we can do what 964 00:47:22,704 --> 00:47:25,071 need some help we can do what we can, but right now we need 965 00:47:25,071 --> 00:47:25,938 we can, but right now we need to worry about what’s happening 966 00:47:25,938 --> 00:47:26,271 to worry about what’s happening right here in Virginia. We need 967 00:47:26,271 --> 00:47:29,505 right here in Virginia. We need to worry about what’s. 968 00:47:30,771 --> 00:47:32,837 With other people right here in 969 00:47:32,837 --> 00:47:34,472 With other people right here in America, we need to make sure 970 00:47:34,472 --> 00:47:37,105 America, we need to make sure we’re secure in our borders. We 971 00:47:37,105 --> 00:47:39,038 we’re secure in our borders. We need to make sure that it’s 972 00:47:39,038 --> 00:47:42,605 need to make sure that it’s Americans first period bar none 973 00:47:42,605 --> 00:47:43,505 Americans first period bar none that’s it. But before we start 974 00:47:43,505 --> 00:47:47,105 that’s it. But before we start looking outside, that’s my take 975 00:47:47,105 --> 00:47:49,437 looking outside, that’s my take on it Doctor cuz he just raised 976 00:47:49,437 --> 00:47:52,538 on it Doctor cuz he just raised an interesting point. I’m 977 00:47:52,538 --> 00:47:58,471 an interesting point. I’m trying to stay topical here. 978 00:47:59,037 --> 00:48:01,471 And I also think that we have a 979 00:48:01,471 --> 00:48:03,171 And I also think that we have a certain level of corruption in 980 00:48:03,171 --> 00:48:05,105 certain level of corruption in some of the material that we 981 00:48:05,105 --> 00:48:08,905 some of the material that we get to be seen on the news and 982 00:48:08,905 --> 00:48:11,005 get to be seen on the news and so forth. I think that if 983 00:48:11,005 --> 00:48:14,804 so forth. I think that if there’s been misconduct by the 984 00:48:14,804 --> 00:48:17,171 there’s been misconduct by the law enforcement and police, 985 00:48:17,171 --> 00:48:19,271 law enforcement and police, they should be prosecuted fully 986 00:48:19,271 --> 00:48:21,838 they should be prosecuted fully and they pay the penalty. I 987 00:48:21,838 --> 00:48:23,737 and they pay the penalty. I think also that we should be 988 00:48:23,737 --> 00:48:27,439 think also that we should be able to be able to discern when 989 00:48:27,439 --> 00:48:29,105 able to be able to discern when something is legitimate and 990 00:48:29,105 --> 00:48:32,772 something is legitimate and something is a fake news. I’m 991 00:48:32,772 --> 00:48:33,538 something is a fake news. I’m not saying that this was I’m 992 00:48:33,538 --> 00:48:35,705 not saying that this was I’m just saying that it’s important 993 00:48:35,705 --> 00:48:38,038 just saying that it’s important for us to understand what 994 00:48:38,038 --> 00:48:38,538 for us to understand what happened and then treated 995 00:48:38,538 --> 00:48:41,738 happened and then treated appropriately and 996 00:48:44,172 --> 00:48:45,972 With dignity for the people 997 00:48:45,972 --> 00:48:51,472 With dignity for the people that are the victims should 998 00:48:51,472 --> 00:48:55,238 that are the victims should Americans be upset about this 999 00:48:55,238 --> 00:48:59,972 Americans be upset about this or I mean we don’t wanna stop 1000 00:48:59,972 --> 00:49:01,573 or I mean we don’t wanna stop police officers from enforcing 1001 00:49:01,573 --> 00:49:05,140 police officers from enforcing the law. Where’s the fine line 1002 00:49:05,140 --> 00:49:08,140 the law. Where’s the fine line there 1003 00:49:08,340 --> 00:49:11,606 well, every police officers 1004 00:49:11,606 --> 00:49:13,940 well, every police officers take an oath. Okay.

I think a better use that money we’re 1245 01:10:02,343 --> 01:10:04,377 better use that money we’re working on a nuclear subs and 1246 01:10:04,377 --> 01:10:05,609 working on a nuclear subs and aircraft carriers. you know 1247 01:10:05,609 --> 01:10:08,442 aircraft carriers. you know like we’re 50 It’s into ships 1248 01:10:08,442 --> 01:10:09,675 like we’re 50 It’s into ships continental down you 1249 01:10:09,675 --> 01:10:10,543 continental down you communications, but we also 1250 01:10:10,543 --> 01:10:15,343 communications, but we also need them for defense. Okay, we 1251 01:10:15,343 --> 01:10:17,876 need them for defense. Okay, we need to be able to shoot down 1252 01:10:17,876 --> 01:10:19,342 need to be able to shoot down into an intercontinental 1253 01:10:19,342 --> 01:10:22,609 into an intercontinental ballistic missiles that may get 1254 01:10:22,609 --> 01:10:25,843 ballistic missiles that may get fired at us and yes some 1255 01:10:25,843 --> 01:10:26,743 fired at us and yes some countries do have other 1256 01:10:26,743 --> 01:10:28,643 countries do have other countries are working on them, 1257 01:10:28,643 --> 01:10:33,076 countries are working on them, so we need to be a step ahead 1258 01:10:33,076 --> 01:10:35,243 so we need to be a step ahead of all those counties for our 1259 01:10:35,243 --> 01:10:38,410 of all those counties for our National defense. In addition, 1260 01:10:38,410 --> 01:10:42,043 National defense. In addition, if we go back in history, we 1261 01:10:42,043 --> 01:10:44,009 if we go back in history, we look at some of the things that 1262 01:10:44,009 --> 01:10:45,343 look at some of the things that have been developed through 1263 01:10:45,343 --> 01:10:46,543 have been developed through space travel some of our 1264 01:10:46,543 --> 01:10:47,010 space travel some of our medical advances. Some of our 1265 01:10:47,010 --> 01:10:50,143 medical advances. Some of our foods are. 1266 01:10:51,276 --> 01:10:54,743 Hydrated foods that we now use 1267 01:10:54,743 --> 01:10:56,076 Hydrated foods that we now use for survival, they were 1268 01:10:56,076 --> 01:10:58,110 for survival, they were originally developed. You know 1269 01:10:58,110 --> 01:11:01,374 originally developed. You know using the space system. so I I 1270 01:11:01,374 --> 01:11:02,474 using the space system. so I I think it’s a good thing for a 1271 01:11:02,474 --> 01:11:05,408 think it’s a good thing for a buck when we get it and I think 1272 01:11:05,408 --> 01:11:07,941 buck when we get it and I think it’s important for National 1273 01:11:07,941 --> 01:11:15,374 it’s important for National security as well. I have a two 1274 01:11:15,774 --> 01:11:17,774 doctor. I think there’s a 1275 01:11:17,774 --> 01:11:19,874 doctor. I think there’s a there’s a defense function 1276 01:11:19,874 --> 01:11:21,174 there’s a defense function that’s constitutional that we 1277 01:11:21,174 --> 01:11:23,408 that’s constitutional that we should continue and develop a 1278 01:11:23,408 --> 01:11:25,474 should continue and develop a space force as well. If it 1279 01:11:25,474 --> 01:11:27,274 space force as well. If it comes to the as far as the 1280 01:11:27,274 --> 01:11:27,641 comes to the as far as the moon, I think private 1281 01:11:27,641 --> 01:11:28,174 moon, I think private developers if they wanna for a 1282 01:11:28,174 --> 01:11:31,308 developers if they wanna for a fee take. 1283 01:11:32,241 --> 01:11:34,741 Send them to the moon and so 1284 01:11:34,741 --> 01:11:38,507 Send them to the moon and so forth that should be a private 1285 01:11:38,507 --> 01:11:39,974 forth that should be a private company and it doesn’t it 1286 01:11:39,974 --> 01:11:42,274 company and it doesn’t it shouldn’t be a federal 1287 01:11:42,274 --> 01:11:44,108 shouldn’t be a federal function. I think it’s the as I 1288 01:11:44,108 --> 01:11:45,774 function. I think it’s the as I agreed that we should spend the 1289 01:11:45,774 --> 01:11:49,641 agreed that we should spend the money elsewhere or stop 1290 01:11:49,641 --> 01:11:53,241 money elsewhere or stop spending.
