boyle: yes, i am.ne of the core functions of congress, legislation, is to preside, provide oversight of the executive agencies. a number of the hearings we have tend to be oversight hearings. in budget committee, we have oversight, for example, of omb, as well as -- office of management and budget, congressional budget office. i'm on the ways and means could deep. we have jurisdiction over the irs and provide oversight over irs as well as treasury at large. it is very disturbing what is going on right now. as recently as the last few hours, a report going out there telling everyone at usaid not to report for work or to cease what you are doing. i believe that also happened at cfpb, the consumer protection financial bureau. very disturbing things that are going on that frankly are autocratic. tara: the threat is basically to seize these congressionally approved payments he with the truth is, they have a budget coming up in the next few months. they could change the way money is appropriated. rep. boyle:

boyle. thank you for having us. while the unelected billionaires raid our government and strip it for its parts, and let's be clear, not only has our government been bought but america has been bought for $300 million. that was the cost of this election. and that's the cost, it seems, of america right now. republicans are handing out trillions in tax cuts to the you will extra wealthy and big corporations at the expense of vital programs and services. many in the middle class have individuals that are not concerned about medicaid and snap programs for children and not concerned about school lunches. but you're going to pay for it. you're going to pay for it because the upper class, the most wealthiest americans are not going to pay for the programs that still exist. you americans are going to pay for it because all the services that haven't been there the middle class have been paying for to fund the tax cuts for the ultrawealthy. trump and his far right maga allies are turning their backs on the very people they cl

boyle: someone who has spoken well on this topic repeatedly was barack obama. he has referenced the fact that we all have older relatives who might put something in a way that might not be entirely politically correct or the language used today. it doesn't necessarily mean they're bad people or should be canceled. there are a lot of people with a good heart and good intentions but might put things in a different way. i very much believe we should not be about canceling them or dismissing them. and i think that sort of instinct actually turns a lot of people off. >>right, definitely. >> i'm from pa-5, tellco so happy p.a. is in the house. it really seemed like joe biden with not push back on the left at all and felt like bernie sanders was running his economic policy and my question is how can democrats, it seemed like obama did this more, push back on the left than sort of staying moderate because i feel a lot of people were turned off by some of joe biden's policies. >>it's interesting you have that perception because i have heard the same question in reverse.

. >> hi, my name is abbey and i have a question for congressman boyle. trump and republicans did really good breaking into this man sphere, on the podcast and tiktok and really targeting that young audience on social media. democrats tried but in 2026 and 2028, how do you think the democrats can be better at breaking the nontradition media. >>i'm very partial to anyone named abbey. it's my daughter's name. but it's something i find myself asking. it goes to what i talked about earlier about the rise of these nontraditional or nonmainstream sources of media. i will go basically on any podcast that i'm asked. i'll be true to who i am. i think people can smell a phony a mile away. so you know, my best advice is just be who you are and don't try to be anything that you're not. but i will say in general, if any candidate came to me asking for advice, i would say don't be so risk averse you turn down those opportunities. you might be on a podcast where you say the wrong thing and put it inartfully. i'm answering any question you have here. god knows i've proba
