Congressman Eli Crane says we have $33T in national debt, we bring in $5T in taxes but spend $7T. It’s really a $3T deficit because $1T goes to paying interest on our debt. Those in Congress fighting to cut spending to get the woke and the weaponized out of the budget, are considered “legislative terrorists” by the majority in the House. Crane says he didn’t come to Congress to fall in line. The Republican Party is not his chain of command. He says his chain of command is the 2nd District of Arizona. That makes him unpopular for not falling into line with party leadership. Crane says so far they’ve passed one Appropriations bill out of the House and they’re working on four more. But he expects McCarthy to bring a Continuing Resolution (CR) to the floor on Friday and Crane believes he has the votes to pass it. Crane says it doesn’t make sense that Congress is up against the September 30th deadline before the govt. runs out of money. It doesn’t make sense to him that Republicans are pushing for a Continuing Resolution. It doesn’t make sense that McCarthy and 149 other Republicans voted this year to increase the debt ceiling by $4T. And it doesn’t make sense to him that Republicans aren’t willing to impeach Joe Biden or Sec. Mayorkas.

GUEST: REP. ELI CRANE, ARIZONA, 2nd DISTRICT
