Senator John Kennedy

There are things we could do on housing.

There are things we could do on regulation.

I know of over 200 tax changes we could make to stimulate the economy and increase people's wages, and we're not doing that.

And I think it's a huge mistake, and John Thune is a good friend of mine.

Only he can bring a bill to the Senate floor.

I can't make him do it.

But I have begged him, pretty pleased with sugar on top and a cherry, to please bring bills to address the cost of living in America.

Now, I haven't convinced him yet, and time's running out.

But I'm going to keep chasing him on that like he stole Christmas, man, because we could get beat if we don't do that.

Well, I'll give you an example on housing.

This is a bill.

I'm the lead author, but my co-author of all people is Elizabeth Warren.

And this is what our bill would do.

We give, I don't know, billions, I think three to four billion dollars a year, maybe more, to the cities every year in America.

They're called Community Development Block Grants.

They come through HUD.

This is free money, not a lot of strings attached.

The cities can spend it how they want.

What Elizabeth and I want to do is turn to the cities and say, here's the deal.

Every single city has to increase housing starts every year by, let's say, 3%.
