have the flexibility -- so when we need to hold them accountable because i didn't think were good to see that in the midterm elections. americans want to help people. but first we need to take care of herself. i used the example when you're on an airplane and the flight attendant as telling you about safety procedures they say when the oxygen meant mass comes on take care of yourself first. it's not that we don't help other people as americans. written questionnaires nation on the face of the earth. the fact is we need to be safe i'm good with people coming across our border that are on the terror watch list. we have fentanyl coming across the border at record levels. we need to take care of our southern border and take care of americans first know we can take a look at gallipolis is tell people in other countries. but right now need an american first mitt administration and were going to do everything we can then force them to do that. whether it's through administration, we can highlight some of these things and force them to change their policy. >> congressman, brad keller stealing my airplane analysis
