I got 1.2 Million more votes in Florida than DeSanctus. Also, Bill Hemmer at FoxNews just used an old April Poll showing me leading by 51% to 25%. Why doesn’t Fox get a more up to date poll, 72% to 18%, with the other candidates much lower. Just like 2016!!! It’s why people are leaving FoxNews. P.S. Without me, DeSanctus would have lost the Primary and the General. Thank you President Trump!

Markup: H.R. 277, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act
Mr Johnson (LA):
I think that the American people are behind us here and I think they would support this amendment for certain, if they're paying attention and following what all this is about.
Here's the simple fact and I explain this in town halls back home all the time and I'm sure some of you do similar things, but we have to acknowledge that the federal government is way too big and it does way too many things and very little of what it does does it do.
Well, the administrative state has grown exponentially over the recent decades and it, as stated earlier, has consolidated governmental powers in the executive branch.
And what that's done then is it's usurped the proper and constitutional role of Congress.
Our article one authority over lawmaking and policy making and that consolidation of power has become really very dangerous.
It's created an administrative state that is out of control.
t's contrary to the separation of powers doctrine in our constitution, our matchless constitution and it diminishes the political accountability of the people who set policy.
If you have nameless, faceless bureaucrats who are effectively making law, they are by definition unaccountable.
We literally do not know who to hold accountable.
The people do not know who to hold accountable when you have bureaucrats making all the laws and that's effectively what's happened.
Now, Congress allowed this to happen over a series of decades as the power as you serve.
But it creates a real problem in our system.
Our, our matchless system that everybody around the world tries to emulate.
The reason it works so well is because we have separation of powers.
We have checks and balances as members of the house, we have to run for office every two years.
Why?
Because we're closest to the people, we have accountability.
If we don't do our jobs, well, then they'll send someone else to do it.
But we can't do that with the administrative state because we don't even know who they are.
And so by limiting this lowering the threshold to 50 million is an essential thing to do.
We're going to be 247 years old as a nation on July 4th, we are still a very young nation.
You know, if a high school civic student looks at 247 years, they think that's a life, that's an eternity.
But we know that's just a small speck on the span of human history and we don't know how long our constitutional Republic is going to endure.
The founders didn't know, but they said there are certain foundations that you have to maintain and the reason that they were so insistent about the checks and balances and the separation of powers is because they understood that all men are fallen and corrupt and that power corrupts.
And as Lord Acton said, absolute power corrupts.
Absolutely.
We are veering towards absolute corruption in the administrative state.
That is why so many agencies in our, in our weaponization select Committee.
Why we're so busy because so many of the agencies that were designed to protect and serve the American people have been turned against them and are being used against the very citizens they're supposed to serve.
How did that happen?
It's because we allowed our article one authority to be served.
So the Reins Act is essential.
I think this threshold of 50 million is very reasonable.
And I would just close by reminding us of the words of John Adams.
He said, you know, explaining the difference between us and what was happening in the monarchy and in Great Britain, he said, you know, we're a nation of laws not of men.
It's the rule of law that defines who we are.
That's why our system works so well
And as the great evangelist Charles Spurgeon said, the best of men are but men at best, we better maintain this system of checks and balances.
And I think this would be a really, really important step to prevent this death by 1000 little cuts of our liberty and our oversight and allowing the government to grow so out of control, we wouldn't have a $31.8 trillion federal debt if Congress was more involved in these decisions.
And so I'm in full support of this amendment.
I think everybody should.
And I think, as I said, at the outset, if the American people understood and were following this argument, they would absolutely be in favor of the Biggs Amendment.
So with that, I yield back.

Ms Hagerman:
0:00
First of all, the non delegation doctrine is a constitutional provision indicating that the legislative branch does not have the authority to delegate our legislative authority to administrative agencies.
0:12
So what the ranking member is suggesting is unconstitutional in and of itself.
0:17
With that said, I'd just like to provide some very specific statistics from the 10,000 commandments from 2022 published by the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
0:27
Federal spending surged to 6.8 to $2 trillion in 2021.
0:32
These federal outlays are projected to reach 5.872 trillion in fiscal year 2022.
0:38
The burden of regulatory regulatory regulation is equivalent to 33% of these projected federal outlays regulatory costs of $1.927 trillion amounts to 8% of the US gross domestic product, which is estimated at 23.99 trillion for 2021.
0:57
When regulatory costs are combined with federal outlays of 6.8 to 2 trillion in 2021 the federal government's share of the entire economy reached at least 36%.
1:08
If, if it were a country US regulation would be the world's eighth largest economy, not counting the US, but ranking behind France and ahead of Italy, the regulatory or hidden tax associated with the regulatory burden a individual income taxes by several billion dollars.
1:29
If one assumed that all costs of federal regulation flowed all the way down to households, us, households would pay $14,684 annually.
1:39
On average in a hidden regulatory tax, that amounts to 17% of the average pretax income of $84,000.
1:48
The regulatory tax exceeds every item in the household budget except housing.
1:52
That means a typical American household spends more on embedded regulation costs than on health care, food, transportation, entertainment, apparel, services or savings.
2:02
Trump's total of 2964.
2:05
Final rules in 2019 was the lowest count since records began being kept in the 19 seventies and is the only tally below 3000 during calendar year 2021.
2:17
While agencies issued 3257 rules.
2:22
Congress enacted only 143 laws.
2:26
Thus agencies issued 23 rules for every law enacted by Congress.
2:30
This unconstitutionality index which is the ratio of regulations issued by agencies to laws passed by Congress and signed by the president highlights the entrenched delegation of lawmaking power to unelected agency officials.
2:46
President Biden had the largest or highest number of pages in the federal register of over 95,894 pages.
2:55
In 2021 the federal register contained 74,532 pages of regulations.
3:01
Since 1993 when the first edition of 10,000 Commandments was published, agencies have issued 114,821 final rules of the 95% 1008 148 final rules issued since the congressional review act passed in 1996.
3:19
Under President Bill Clinton, there's been a revocation of just 20 rules.
3:24
The Weidenbaum Center at Washington University in ST Louis and the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center in Washington DC.
3:32
Jointly estimate that agencies spent $78 billion in fiscal year 2020 just to administer and police the federal administrative apparatus.
3:45
At the end of the calendar year, 2021 20 and 94 proposed rules had been published in the federal register 272 of them deemed significant which the federal government divines as those rules having an annual economic effect of $100 million or more.
4:02
The reality is that we are not being governed by the legislative branch, by the people who are accountable to the American citizens, to the those who are elected pursuant to our constitution and our laws.
4:16
It is the unelected bureaucrats that are dictating the laws in this country.
4:20
I support the reins Act, I support the amendment.
4:23
It is time that Congress took back its rightful constitutional authority to legislate and we need to take it away from unelected bureaucrats who are abusing the power that this body has illegally granted to them.
4:37
And with that, please, to me, madam MS Hageman.
4:41
General Lady, yield to the gentleman from Arizona.
4:43
Yeah, I just wanna point out something on pages nine and 10, of the underlying bill.
4:49
It, it negates the argument.
4:52
Oh, that, oh my gosh, we're not gonna regulate anything.
4:55
This will bring it to Congress.
4:57
It doesn't mean that there are no regulations to be issued.
5:00
It means that we will be the ones and we're the ones that get held accountable and we should be held accountable.
