issues of ░░░░░░░░ day Louisiana senator Bill ░░░░░░░░ bill cassidy we welcome ░░░░░░░░ this morning to tune ░░░░░░░░ So thanks for this ░░░░░░░░ We just found out ░░░░░░░░ after midnight that he ░░░░░░░░ passed away And so ░░░░░░░░ lot of people waking ░░░░░░░░ to this news You ░░░░░░░░ the pleasure of seeing ░░░░░░░░ speak to Congress 2 ░░░░░░░░ to impressions with the ░░░░░░░░ the pope He my ░░░░░░░░ impression was when he ░░░░░░░░ became pope And courses ░░░░░░░░ added to was showing ░░░░░░░░ to those who are ░░░░░░░░ and it was in ░░░░░░░░ and there was someone ░░░░░░░░ was so disfigured and ░░░░░░░░ think it was terrible ░░░░░░░░ They have it as ░░░░░░░░ sort of terrible disease ░░░░░░░░ people would just instinctively ░░░░░░░░ touch Imagine the modern ░░░░░░░░ version of leprosy and ░░░░░░░░ got on his knees ░░░░░░░░ he washed the feet ░░░░░░░░ so kind of emblem ░░░░░░░░ how he was going ░░░░░░░░ conduct his ministry Want ░░░░░░░░ mercy Then he spoke ░░░░░░░░ Congress and I always ░░░░░░░░ notes I have a ░░░░░░░░ so they don t ░░░░░░░░ knows my brains all ░░░░░░░░ the place and then ░░░░░░░░ out his script And ░░░░░░░░ I m looking at ░░░░░░░░ script but I m ░░░░░░░░ notes and he departs ░░░░░░░░ the script and he ░░░░░░░░ acknowledging the Catholic church ░░░░░░░░ had some issues but ░░░░░░░░ something like we can ░░░░░░░░ focus on the past ░░░░░░░░ we can fulfill our ░░░░░░░░ for the future And ░░░░░░░░ thought that was so ░░░░░░░░ so the fact that ░░░░░░░░ took notes and that ░░░░░░░░ different than his prepared ░░░░░░░░ I feel like I ░░░░░░░░ a little bit of ░░░░░░░░ that might not otherwise ░░░░░░░░ there on the world ░░░░░░░░ What do you think ░░░░░░░░ Francis is legacy is ░░░░░░░░ to well clearly he ░░░░░░░░ an advocate for those ░░░░░░░░ such as the vicar ░░░░░░░░ that would decrease the ░░░░░░░░ of war clearly continue ░░░░░░░░ advocate for showing mercy ░░░░░░░░ the marginalized His last ░░░░░░░░ with vice president Vance ░░░░░░░░ is Catholic was along ░░░░░░░░ lines So I think ░░░░░░░░ kind of moral push ░░░░░░░░ has been the role ░░░░░░░░ the Catholic church at ░░░░░░░░ best through history is ░░░░░░░░ he Was just so ░░░░░░░░

░░░░░░░░ have a fence around ░░░░░░░░ and the measles can ░░░░░░░░ get to But the ░░░░░░░░ people who are not ░░░░░░░░ the lower that fence ░░░░░░░░ they can leap that ░░░░░░░░ vax infect those people ░░░░░░░░ going back to a ░░░░░░░░ who is And not ░░░░░░░░ it can get inside ░░░░░░░░ and go to or ░░░░░░░░ then our child all ░░░░░░░░ s terrible And all ░░░░░░░░ preventable Let s quickly ░░░░░░░░ you re on been ░░░░░░░░ the forefront of this ░░░░░░░░ Trump wants this metal ░░░░░░░░ department Put it back ░░░░░░░░ the hands of the ░░░░░░░░ What do you think ░░░░░░░░ that and what would ░░░░░░░░ do for Louisiana Well ░░░░░░░░ things One the amount ░░░░░░░░ money coming to the ░░░░░░░░ remain the same And ░░░░░░░░ important thing to know ░░░░░░░░ that only about 5 ░░░░░░░░ 10 of the money ░░░░░░░░ comes to the states ░░░░░░░░ to 10 that the ░░░░░░░░ spends on education comes ░░░░░░░░ the federal government and ░░░░░░░░ money is going to ░░░░░░░░ the same But about ░░░░░░░░ of the regulations come ░░░░░░░░ the federal government And ░░░░░░░░ if you can peel ░░░░░░░░ those regulations then states ░░░░░░░░ do things that are ░░░░░░░░ experimental Does this work ░░░░░░░░ our child If it ░░░░░░░░ the maybe work for ░░░░░░░░ children as one example ░░░░░░░░ I think that this ░░░░░░░░ the potential to be ░░░░░░░░ positive So we still ░░░░░░░░ accountability If you re ░░░░░░░░ federal dollars you have ░░░░░░░░ spend it wisely But ░░░░░░░░ don t need to ░░░░░░░░ wrapped in red tape ░░░░░░░░ keeps you from doing ░░░░░░░░ things Well senator Bill ░░░░░░░░ thanks for joining us
