Jedediah, we are back with a fox Jedediah. We are back with a Fox news alert. Thousands of national guard troops could be stationed in our nations Capitol even longer. Will news comes why some were forced to take preax in the parking garage. Pete Michael Waltz calls the treatment of these guardsmen despicable. Thank you for joining us this morning, thanks PETE, we have seen the photos of you there on Capitol Hill talking to these guys supporting them. Have you also seen your governor? There are say thats it this mission, as he called it, is half cocked. They are coming home. Talk to me overall treatment of the National Guard, their ongoing mission. We are hearing reports. They will be there a couple more months up to five thousand seven thousand troops. What do you make of it all? Well, the treatment is disgusting and it is despicable. Im hearing that im hearing that members and staff were complaining and thats what drove the capitol police to then ask our guardsmen and women to leave.

I want to say I offer my office. I offer every facility I have for them to stay in im. Speaking my role as a congressman, not a colonel in the National Guard, but I want to know what mission analysis and driving this presence to have five times in d, DOT C five times what we have in Afghanistan and what we have in Iraq. Two and a half divisions sitting in our nations Capitol this isnt, the active duty military, this isnt their day, job these men and women have lives, they have jobs, they have businesses. Many of them are single parents that had to make arrangements for their kids, and they did this on just a few hours notice. For what rightly you know was an emergency and a failure of law enforcement. The guard should be. They

should be an option of absolute last resort and now it seems like they are becoming Nancy Pelosis Private police force, and that is not an appropriate role for our men and women in Uniform PETE. Real, quick clarification. Are you saying that some members, or some staffers complained that there were too many national guardsmen in the halls and thats why the request was made to put them in a parking garage thats? What im hearing from you know, obviously in touch with folks on the ground, and that is just disgusting its telling, though PETE it is, and I want to get to the bottom of it. But the bigger question in my mind: is it an appropriate use of our military to be standing fifteen feet apart literally staring at a fence, I mean literally thats what theyre doing and if thats going to be the mission going forward and they are going to be out of their lives. Remember you know they have been activated for Covid states still need them for vaccines, describz

they have been, will activated for natural disasters, hurricanes and wildfires social unrest, which was happening over the summer and still ongoing in parts of the west and while trying to maintain civil YAP careers and families. All of those things need to be taken into account im going to be asking those hard questions. What are the threat that are driving a number of six thousand to seven thousand going forward in the coming months and whats? The mission analysis behind that Jedediah congressman you mentioned Covid. We now know there are at least one hundred positive tests among those national guardsmen that were confined in that area and pretty much sleeping on top of each other. No surprise there. Based on what we see in a lot of those images, I want to shift over to a topic on a lot of peoples. Minds could have potentially pretty big consequences. That is the likelihood or possibility of d dot c statehood. Jen Psaki, weighed in on that at the White House.

The president has supported D, dot c statehood in the past. That certainly remains his position. Buff I dont have anything for you on the timeline or next steps. There, Jedediah D, DOT C mayor, saying we are going to bring it to his desk. What happens here? You know a few things here, obviously politically thats, two more senators for the Democrats and the d dot c statehood issue, rather than being a separate bill, has been included in Nancy Pelosis HR, one which will dramatically change the way we vote in this country to make it match what they do in California, ballot harvesting dropping the voting age to sixteen. This is part of the effort to basically normalize how California does things and make it nationwide. The other piece on d, dot c statehood that folks need to understand is: is our federal capitol shouldnt be subordinated to and under the

direction of a state entity and thats? What thats why the founders put it in the constitution, but this is just this is naked politics right and to make it a much to ever come back in the Senate or the house thats whats going on here will congressman. We talked about the special Georgia Senate runoff. Would there be an attempt at the top of their agenda to coalesce power, certainly pushing for d dot c statehood would help, as you point out, that adds two more senators. One of the other thing that stands in their way. By the way is the Senate filibuster? Thats right will they are going after that? Here is the filibuster, which would require sixty votes instead of fifty and Kamala Harris breaking the tie at fifty one here is the newest member of the squad. Jamaal Bowman. Will the filibuster is a pill early of upholding white supremacy? Its time to end it your thoughts, this is falling into the bucket of just throw. You know,

throw the term of racism on anything that you want to change. Listen. The filibuster is broken audio to have bipartisan. You have to get the other side on board, because its very rare that one side or the other has over sixty. If you drop that down to fifty one, it is Katie BAR the door in terms of stacking, the Supreme Court, going after the Electoral college D, dot c statehood changing the way we vote. Another thing thats in that bill from Nancy Pelosi is banning any state from asking for voter, I dot d, the integrity of the vote. This is a massive power grab, broken audio will we are losing the congressman. Otherwise, that is a headlong drive toward socialism. Pete there you go and Congressman Waltz, perfect guest. Today we are losing your shot a little bit. If you find the names of those staffers and congressman who complained about those pesky national guardsmen in the hallway, please bring them to us,

so we can talk about them. How about we fund the police and let the police do their jobs, PETE Novel idea.
