Are right good, i will leave. [laughter] anybody have a question . Of course, have to get funding somehow from the paul ryan ways and Means Committee but as a know from past experience with shuster at the helm riding shotgun good things can happen. Also for the record for the 10 billion he got back and he was secretary that is the great airport with 100 million for that one. But we want to move right along first average just like to get each member of the panel to be recognized. First of all, of the president and ceo and regina who was president and ceo of the society of america. And the congressman from utah the knowledge of his house on a lot of good things including trade in then we have Michael Lewis president and ceo of the deputy secretary of transportation got a few things going but then allowed him a to ease out with the panel. But i think the timing is significant as a leadership in the senate with the infrastructure funding we need to do what is necessary with though whole pa
Going to happen. So that would be kind of my report. I appreciate. I appreciate. Thank you very much. A quick question because i no you have so many. Since the congress eliminated earmarks on special projects projects that are essential to being authorized and approved come back to allowing those type of endeavors . I think that what happened with the earmark debate is it got out of hand numerically and they got out of and in substance, board it really is traditionally when shuster held the gavel they would use of the individual members of the house. Already heard from mayors and county commissioners and governors and state legislators so you had an idea. It adds up to about 125 million. The state was ready to go for it. Well, your not going to get that. That is that. That is where i think a lot of the leadership came from because suddenly that county commissioner, the city council everyone had by an. Right right now it is sort of an academic thing. It gets fuzzy. Not sure who actually
Message where it needs to be delivered, that the time is critical and i look forward to being part of the solution. Thank you very much, mike, for your comments and your contributions. Ill take it a little bit out of order now and take my law partner and former member of congress, state of georgia, congressman Jack Kingston to give his perspective on some of the things theyre doing down in georgia, particularly in the port project area and hes now with us, with these projects probably had something to do with them back when you were in congress yourself. Jack, why dont you go ahead and tell us about what is happening down there. Thank you very much, senator. I have to take a point of personal privilege that i really came here to lobby jennifer on going ahead and getting a fast lane on 395. I think we all would like to see that happen. And, mike, i want to say my mother actually lives in louisville, colorado, and your toll road is great. Thank you. Ive driven it many times. It is such a
Fight. To burn down what we should be building up. Senate republicans should stand united. I call them legislative arsonists. Burning down the house good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thanks for watching. This is a followup to friday nights program, when i talked about the moral compass of america. And this is right at the heart of what the Republican Party is doing. When it comes to threatening to shutown the government, when it comes to defunding obamacare, when it comes to going after poor people on food stamps. They have spent more time telling americans what they are against instead of purporting what they are actually for. And i think america is starting to wake up and realize how this republican plan to defund obamacare is morally bankrupt. The republicans are willing to shut down the government to deny 30 million Americans Health care . Obviously, the democrats are outraged and most americans are. They wasted no time, calling out republicans on their reckless behavior ove
