Austin Rogers

Hey, Austin Rogers, running for Congress in the second congressional district of Florida.

Good point.

From the panhandle and for the panhandle is our slogan.

And in my district, it matters that you know how to throw a cast net, that you know how to tie a fishing knot.

I know how to do that, but also have experience in Washington.

serving as chief counsel on Senate Judiciary Committee and serving as Senator Rick Scott's general counsel.

So not a swamp creature, but know the swamp, know firsthand how it's broken, and looking forward to fixing it.

Without objection.

My first reaction is on the declaration of war front.

That's something that, according to Article 1, Congress does.

And that is a speech act that invites all sorts of

differences of legal rights, they can create a blockade that helps them control the economy.

So article two, the executive acting in a way that's addressing conflicts and hostilities is quite a different thing than a declaration of war.

I think Trump has shown with Venezuela and with

Iran previously that he's been pretty surgical and that he's willing to take isolated sort of discrete movements to address the issue so

Oh, man, because I think he has been 20, 20.

I think I think Homan, I think they've they've generally cracked down.

Yeah.

To your point earlier and to something that you said, I think Republicans, there's a strong contingent of Republicans that are rightly skeptical of forever wars, of oil wars, of, you know, foreign intervention.

But I think Trump has demonstrated time and again in this administration that he is being surgical.
