Steve King

So, hopefully he'll, he'll have that shortly and be joining us here at any moment.

It is the ever fun, always knowledgeable Steve King that's going to join us.

We're gonna talk about several things today, and I'm actually giving him his choice of topics today, but he'll be joining us shortly.

Before we get there, let me tell you thanks for joining us every Monday through Friday, noon central time.

They're all on the ballot, and we've gotta do what we can to keep Americanism, liberty at the forefront in this nation.

All right.

I see my guest in the studio, Congressman Steve King, the honorable Steve King, um, a delight for all of us here in Iowa.

[laughs] When he walks into a room, he still rocks the room.

[laughs]

You don't remember that? Was that Steve King? Uh, Steve Kon- it was a Republican, uh, congressman, uh, it was the anti-immigrant congressman that said that [laughs] he was...

It was a little homoerotic, actually.

He was like, "You won't believe the legs on these immigrants," the drug, because they're carrying all the drugs on their back every time they go across the border.

Yeah.

You were like, "Hey, do you know Steve King?" And I was like, "Yeah, Steve's, you know, Steve's been on the, uh, show," and I almost bought his autobiography.

Yeah.

But, you know, I...

"Stay strong.

God bless.

Steve King."

[laughs] That's a pretty good impression.

And now McCarthy's saying, well, he's going to strip you know, whoever Democrat of their, you know, he's going to go after the Democrats as a way of getting back at them for holding Marjorie Taylor Greene accountable.

And it's funny because it shows how crazy the Republican Party has gotten because even a few years ago, When you had Steve King from Iowa, who was a real white supremacist and shared white supremacist talking points and really acted in a pretty horrendous way.

Even then, the Republicans still took him off committee assignments.

Now, Republicans are so partisan that they won't even hold their own people accountable for something they did.

I mean, you might lose a primary there.

I mean, they finally got tired of Steve King after years.

But at any rate, I, you know, I do think there's a writing on the wall there.

But, you know, this has been a real, real problem for the administration.

It's been something that we have been fighting against for over a decade.

Originally, it was called the King Amendment, which was Representative Steve King of Iowa was the first to introduce this amendment to put into the Farm Bill almost a decade ago that would take away states' rights from being able to protect animals.

whether it's the king amendment and then it turned into the eats act and now it's the save our bacon act so they're doing it for marketing purposes it is essentially an attempt by a handful of lawmakers in federal in congress on the national level to take away states abilities to pass laws to protect farm animals And for our movement, decades and decades ago, we have been passing laws in multiple states that protect farm animals.

Now, granted, if you actually look at the laws themselves, it's really for an animal to be able to stand up, turn around and extend their limbs, namely egg laying hens.
