General, Merry Christmas. Thanngk you for joining us on ty christmas morning. De thi really do see this as a National Security risk. Human trafficking, drugs, weal s have people coming for more tha 15fr0 countries and we have absolutely no idea who thecoy a. Just a matter of time until something really disastrousme happens. How dothreal you see it . First of all, Merry Christmaf to a you. Merry christmas to pepper and madison, alex and luke that aret watching right now. Theyght are my grandkids. I look at it besides the numbers. It is the way it is being handled. It is being handled by being ignored. How it was done with president ho trumps you have to get Theum Mexicans involved becausp,e thee are comingd through their bord. The president called and saidid this is basically your problem, tio. He put a lot of pressure on it. If you cannot solve this problem, we will solve this problem. Comments about us using Someomme Type of force. The white house did Announceo Thatn President Biden the secoe week of january will be going to mexico city. Ry he will fly over the borderof c again. He has not been to the borderth and his 50 plus years in washington, d. C. I remember brandon judd the Border Patrol Council Talkinge about the strategy of the cartels. They dont have these people gor to Thets Ports Of Entry which would be the legal way to do itl they go between the ports of entry, suck in all the resourcen that way creating Open Coredo Doorors so they can move that human trafficking, do then nefarious things they want to be doing. E defend against that . They are arguing that title 42, they have no justification. They could keee p it in place, they could do an Executive Order they chose not to. Ey they are taking away another t tool that we have to secure that border. Rd yeah. Two parts to this. T if youre worried about securing the border, you have already lost the fight. That is the reason we looked forward with president trump. Me we tolxid the mexicans, we wille target ther cartels. They are bringing drugs across and they are getting involved in human trafficking. There were comments being made. H the former secretary of defense made a comment, the president talked about targeting militarily the cartels. President trump said we will t have to take some executivo e e action andxe he said you cannot control it. We will ask you to control it oe we will control it ourselves. On we havtre just overwhelmed our community. When they come across a border right now, we have lost that fight. By that time ithatt has will hit local communities and they have not prepared to take the influx the criminals coming across and the refugees themselves. I could talk about this for hours but it is so fundamentalll wrong. S Another Subjecbut has to do with ukraine. President zelinski came before congress. In addition to what wasdo previously out there. A a Patriot Battery Thatnd will be there in ukraine. What will that do to help secur the fight for the ukrainians . This is a great question. Whether we like it or not, complaining about it, we just, need tweo stop it. That train has left the station. We are a proxy to this war. It will be better four everybody. Th e e only place we are heading to H Inea Ukraine and Supportingkr Ukrainiansai right now is eitheb negotiation or russian defeat. They will not negotiate. Neit we have to put ourselves on aat path and we need to tell the russians that. He heading towardads a Military Defeat and what biden needs to do and he has not done it is pick up the phone, he talks about personal diplomacy all the time. You pick up the phone and yout call putin. You say this is what we arel going to do. E militaryph support for ukrainia to defeaist the russian army. F you havetw two options. A Military Defeat of the russiai army or you negotiate. Putin is a historian. Ne this kind of happened back in 1917 when the russian army they can be defeated right now because the russian army has badly badly hurt. They have lost frontline units. They are now refurbishing p 62 tanks. They have not beene used sincewe 1975. We nee need d to apply that pre. The president needs to apply that pressure. Th we are in a fight whether we like it or not as a proxy too th this war. This is the time we need someone like a ronald reagan. Peace through strength. If you dont have that, theve other side does not believe you, it is hard to negotiate. Keith kellogg, Merry Christmas to you and your family and especially your grandkids. Get back to them now. G, thank yo mu for joining us on Sunday Morning Futures. Unda t inflation is throughhr the roof. The crisis at our southern border only keeps getting worse. Instead of doing anything substantial about either of those things, democrats just ran through a massive Spending Bill with the help of senate t before therigh christmas break. Now, how that is going on Withh Republicans in the house when congressman pat phelan joined us next. Not again. Oh no. For the gifts you wont forget. Happy holidays from mercedesbenz. See your mercedesbenz dealer today for exceptional offers. sfx crowd noise. Ref whistle sarah, you got this. Ok . sfx Referee Whistle say, what you wanna say and let the words fall out honestly, i wanna see you be brave with what you wanna say and let the words fall out and let the words fall out but they lost and let the words fall out not really. What you wanna say not where it counts. I wanna see you be brave just wanna see you be brave maria let me get your take on what happens with the lameduck session that starts on wednesday. What bills are in the running for action . They were also need to be a Spending Bill passed, there are those including most democrats and some republicans that want to ram through a major omnibus Spending Bill. If republican take both houses of congress, i think that would be a major mistake if we take control of even one house of congress, i think that would be a mistake. Jason that is senator mike lee warning his fellow republicans back in november not to vote for a Spending Bill if the gop wins control of the house. The 18 of the Republican Senate colleagues did not listen and they help the democrats pass in omnibus bill right before the cosmos break, joining me now and in exclusive interview, republican congressman pat fallon from texas. A member of the Oversight Committee who voted against the bill. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us on Sunday Morning Futures this monstrosity of a bill happened very similar to what i was first in congress and nancy hello waited until december 23 and then she passed through the big bad bills. I am fundamentally not understanding why the senate decided to take it up. They did not have to. Jason the last minute this is Nancy Pelosis mo as you just said, 4155 Page Bill Shutdown occurs at the last minute and a lameduck session and is littered with pork, 12 billion additionally for the irs and the irs agency just got 80 billion in the inflation enhancement act, there i therem is 1000 worse than under president trump. 234,000 illegal border crossings in april, that was 1247 worse, may it was 2,041,000. Which is 937 worse. The problems are the thousand worse. Nancy pelosi in the democrats delusion increase portable Ritual Agents by 1 . It is absolutely absurd. Jason youre a congressman from texas took over the seat held by John Ratcliffe the national intelligence, a good friend of mine from my service in congress with him. But in the last 72 hours, the biden of administration has again argued in court that title 42 is not liable and theyre not going to support it, plus an arizona the Coronado National forest, their forcing governor ducey to take away the border wall that they had put in place. How do they argue this with a straight face when they see the pictures of these people pouring across the board . Jason they are catering to the far left in their party, its a de facto open border, we have 160 countries representing my people that are crossing illegally, 98 people on the terrorist watch list, drugs and the cartels, its unbelievable the policies that joe biden put in place to empower the cartels. We had 28000 pounds of fat know that it been seized since joe biden has been in office we lost 107,000 americans to oakwood overdose, 80000 to fentanyl, most of the fentanyl made in china and ferried to mexico. Basically this is asymmetrical warfare by the Communist Chinese in our country and joe biden does not have the guts to even bring it up to xi jinping when he talks to him. Jason Went 70s Come in here and go to a Port Of Entry and want to claim asylum thats the lawful way to do it but cartels are not pushing them to the Port Of Entry there pushing them through the middle so when they get detained they are supposed to be under the law detained, incarcerated, fined and deported and they are not doing that at all and we see the numbers coming across by hundreds of thousands. I have to move to another topic. I get fired up about that one. I want to talk about the power of the purse, youre on the Oversight Committee. I used to be on the chair of that committee. Nothing to be more bonkers than the appropriators giving these Agencies Money when theyre not complying with the oversight request, the Federal Bureau Of Investigation they got Hundreds Of Millions, the Department Of Justice got Hundreds Of Millions of dollars more money and yet were having all these problems. How are you going to try to tackle that . Just as you said we need to use the power of the purse and paint with bold colors as president reagan said and not soft pastels. These agencies will continue to do what theyre doing unless we show them theres going to be consequences to the actions. If you have information requested by congress to better darn well comply. If you dont this would be repercussion. Its just like a child, if you tell them to stop doing something and theres no repercussion and saying stop it, stop it that will keep doing it and doing it. Thats what we see. Thats why the American People voted for the republicans, we won the popular vote by three and half million votes. The American People want a new direction in this country as well. Jason i would open up the graphic of the 18 republican senators who voted for this monstrosity, these are the people that you can go and you can write questions that you can call and say hey, What In The World were you doing, 18 republicans, there they are, the reason this bill came about and it passed, those people, if they vote know this bill doesnt move forward and yet the cavalry coming over the hill with republicans in control of the house and the bill would look a whole lot better but it didnt happen that way. Congressman pat dowling, thank you for joining us on Sunday Morning Futures. Merry christmas to you and your family. Thank you very much. We celebrated the return of wnba star Brittney Griner who was jailed in russia over drug charges.

Senator mike lee did some great job on that omnibus and making sure he continues to get paid, but this guy had a medical emergency, it resulted in the death of two, you know, unfortunately, too japanese. I would think the good people of japan would see fit to let him tcome home to the united state. Well, you are right, jason. Gi the whole situation was tragic. The lieutenant was driving withf his wife and family. Ude he had Altitude Sickness and passed out. As a result of passing out was in a vehicular situation and toj japanese citizens Wereap Killedn that accident. Tragedy, but it was an accident. The japanese and because of some passing that have happened Withp Americanpe servicemen through tm in jail. Now his wife and three kids doot not have a dad home for the holidays. We need to get them out. We understand the pain that the japanese people went through losing a couple of their citizens. This waswe an auto accident, ito was nougt a crime.

A thank you so much for having me. Merry christmarry s to you and y christmas to all of our troops around the world serving ouroops first responders. The gary Sinise Foundation ise here tgao serve in honor of the men and women who serve our country and i have been at this for a very long time. E, the foundation is in its 12th year now. Years ago, because of the m veterans in my own family and g getting involved with vietnams veterans iinn the 80s and then playing Lieutenant Dan in forrest gump and starting the support for first responders, military personnel, after 9 11, i really got involved. Eventually, i started workingipe with multiple nonprofits arounde the country and trying to raise money for them and Support Themo in differentr ways. And the programs that they were supporting, i started the gary Sinise Foundation. We launched in 2011 and now we w are in our 12th year. We support first responders, military personnel, veterans,el gold star families, we built homes, there are multiples programs amut this foundation. It is all just to remember and honor and serve the men and women who keep us free. D wowe can never take that for granted. Freedom has to be fought for. There is a price to pay. From i benefit from that, personallyl i want to do everything that i can to support them. I am so grateful for that. I am also a member of a Gold Star Family my uncle lost his life in world war ii. Unfortunately, my family neverti got his remains back because heh was blown up in burma and he was an incredibly courageous man. An he lost his life so young. He they brought my grandmother, obviously, the american flag. We we always remember what he did and how he did it. My entire family served the military. My grandfather was in world war, i. My m v father vincent who passed away earlier this year, he served in the korean war. Al so, it is really personal to me what you are doing. I wear my fathers army tags on the air a lot to honor him and all of the work that he did in the korean conflict. But ive got to tell you, gary,e your performance as Lieutenant Dan resonated with me so much. I was so grateful for that performance because it really brought us on to the reality of what so many of us have to watcs from our own families and friends. S an do you take on roles like that because of your interest here,rt because of your motivation too support our troops . Well, you know, you do not often get to just sign up and get the part. T i had to audition for it and everything. Yt but hii will tell you, that like you, with so many veterans in my family going back to world war i and vietnam, and getting involved, very specifically inyp the 80s with Vietnam Veterans when the opportunity to play Lieutenant Dan came along in the 90s, having worked with t Vietnam Veterans and supportingn them over the years, in the chicago area, i very much wanted to play that part. T i auditioned for it, i was lucky to get it and i did. Was that particular role had a special significance. He was a wounded soldier. E he was a vietnam veteran. Na our Vietnam Veterans were not treated well when they came home. E i was in high school in 1973 at the end of Combat Operations in vietnam and then i met the womam who would become my wife about four years later and she introduced me to her brothers, both had served in vietnam, her sisters husband, and i got very involved with trying to supportp Vietnam Veteransor back then and then this opportunity came along to play the wounded soldier, ah vietnam veteran, Lieutenant Dand taylor. That started me on Tstar A Misso make sure that what happened to our Vietnam Veterans when they came home and they were forgotten and fell into thewe cracks and they were, you know, victims of a divided nation, at that time, we do not want thatim to ever happen to the men and women who volunteered to serve our country. Rve after he started applying, i just thought, i will go out there and do whatever i can to c support them. At that manifested itself into a fulltime, nonstop, you know, mission, to do whatever i can to serve and honor. I want to say this, with worldr. War ii veterans in my family asn wells , maria, one of the great programs that we have at the gary Sinise Foundation is callei soaring valor. It is a partnership with the National World War Ii Museum in new orleans. American airlines who provideseu all of the travel. To we have Traveled Hundreds Off World War Ii veterans down to new orleans to see the museum for themselves. An it wass inspired by My Uncle Jk Who served on a b17 in world war ii, 30 missions over europe. I took him to the museum when he was still alive and when hess passeded away, i created this program at the gary Sinise Foundation to make sure that asn many Worldda War Ii veterans ass still have them, as possible,to can go to the World War Ii Museum, see the museum for themselves. We all actually record their stories on video and preserve them there on the archives. We can never forget what our world war ii veterans did for a us. All of us lived free todayd al because of all they did those years ago. Ago. That is exactly right. Thank you for doing that. It is also important for thehe rest of us to understand whatrs these metan and women go throug. They are going in to serve ourgr great country as young people. They do not know what they are p about to experience. To e my uncle died, lost his life as a teenager. My grandfather came here with 12 in his pocket from italy. First thing he did was go overseas to serve in world war i. We cannot forget this. We need to keep telling Theor Stories Overie and over so that younger generations understandsn the sacrifice that so many of our family and friends have made. Ma gary, dode you get that Kind Ofa Reaction when you talk about the foundation . Do you feel that it is resonating for people, on peoplp that may not be in a military family . We are seeing issues in Terms Oo Recruitment right now in the military. We need to keep driving home tha stories, the Story Of Evil Fromt Thhee Nazis and why our men and womelin put their lives in harmw way toay ensure our freedom and liberty. Well, absolutely. Gure as a public figure, somebody who has, you know, a little bit of e spotlight because of the moviemo and Television Business and everything, i found that that was a way that i could serve, take that spotlight and pointedp in different directionots and shine that light on the Men Andd Women who serve our country. Certainly, world war ii, when you go to the National World War Ii Museum, have a great program, this soaring valor program, not only do we take world war ii veterans to the museum, but we pair each one of these veterans. Lets say we have 40 veterans on a charter airplane. We pair them up with high schooe students. R a High School Student Get Tooo Travel to new orleans to see that museum with somebody who lived the stories that are told at that museum. That is a way that we can passea on the lessons of World War Iire and ensure that future generations understand that freedom is not free. It comes at a cost. There is a price that is paid. L what happened all those yearsan ago is important, not only then, but critically important to what we are living through now and we can never take for granted thatr people thaitt served our countrv and protect our freedom. If you have never been to the World War Ii Museum in newif y orleans, i encourage you to go. We just opened up a massive new sound and light show called expressions of america. It is really a magnificent place. I encourag ae everybody in the country to get there, if you can that is just wonderful. Well said. God bless our veterans. God bless our men and women serving today. Across the world. Gary sinise, thank you very much for being here and for all of your efforts. Have a Merry Christmas. Thank you, sir. Merry christmas. Thank you. Morning futures. Stay wit noth us.

Looking at bringing together what is not a Special Needs park, a facility, a venue for everybody to truly enjoy. It has opened the eyes of so many people about the idea of inclusion. That is what we are about. Making sure everyones included when youof think about it, 15 5 the population has some force. P many times they feel like they are not included.

We are just Getting Started because we believe our friends i with Special Needs andsabi disabilities deserve this a opportunity. It was something that was started maybe 12 years ago, butt where we are going and where we will be 12 years from now is unimaginable. Peopleinab have come together to make this happen. What are you charging these people to get in the door . D, it is really expensive. Ge they dont get charged for anything. It already can be a barrier for them. M morgan ians one of the lucky ono she has the opportunity because of her parents and because we m have been blessed. An many of those with special need and disabilities dont. T we dont want to have another barrier, a financial barrier. Sa anyone whobi comes with them is charged a very small fee to participate. Par it is very low. Re we are not here to make money, we are here to serve our friende with Special Needs and disabilities. I think that that is the point.
