1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't even know how I made it to

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: work today with the government being shut down for seventeen days.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: I really, I mean, I've been on vacation, but like

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think. I called in this morning to see

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: if anybody needed me because the government shut down.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: You know, well, it looks like all of our bosses

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: took that seriously, because there hasn't been a boss in

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: this building for about two weeks.

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: In this building, I thought, is the government shut down

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: affecting Radio one any way shape or for WIBC.

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: I saw a tumbleweed blow past, and I was walking

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: back to my office earlier today. We talked about this

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: while you were gone night. I will say this because

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: I went to two national parks on my vacation. Cool.

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: What was great is that the government shut down, so

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: those parks weren't taking admission. You could just drive right

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: through and do your stuff and see the park and

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: drive right up.

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: They'd let you in.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Grandee and Yellowstone. You're kidding me. When you pull

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: up to the little shack where normally it's like thirty bucks,

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: thirty five bucks a car, whatever it is, there was

23
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: a sign up there a government shut down, Please pull forward. Well,

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: all right, big about a boom. We got ourselves a

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: ball gow.

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought they'd let you in at the

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: very least pay some guy twelve dollars an hour to

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: sit there and take you know, sixty dollars a car load. Nope, Instead,

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: they're turning away money during a shutdown when they're losing

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: money government stuff. Wow, No, that's awesome.

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: I made the comparison that I think the government shutdown

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: is like Caitlin Clark's groin. We kind of thought it'd

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: be you know, a couple of days, maybe no more

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: than a couple, you know, weeks. We're starting week three

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: of this thing, and I'm starting to get the feeling

36
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: that the government may be out for the year, just

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: like Caitlin Clark with the groin and the ankle. You

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: kept waiting to hear that she was gonna come back,

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: and she never did.

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: Those pesky groin injuries a lot, a lot worse than

41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: we thought. Maybe it's the same thing with a shutdown.

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: Maybe the government is out for the year. It's on

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: the injury report. It's going to be back in twenty

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: twenty six. It's gonna have to have a little rehab

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: stint in the minor leagues, and then it's gonna be

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: back up by being by a boom stronger than ever.

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: House Speaker Mike Johnson Tenson kind of listing off a

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: ridiculous amount of things that the Democrats are still holding

49
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: on to, like grim death. Like if you're wondering why

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: the government is still shut down, right, here's a partial

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: list of some of the things that the Democrats want

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: to spend your hard earned money on.

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: And they would send a half a billion dollars to

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: liberal news outlets by refunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: It would also restore up to five billion dollars of

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: American taxpayer funds for wasteful spending for international projects. Here's

57
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: a couple of examples. This is in their legislation, their

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: kindter proposal on the SR to keep the lights open.

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: This is what they want to do. They want to

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 3: spend twenty four point six million of your hard earned

61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: dollars as a taxpayer for climate resilience in Honduras. They

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: want to spend thirteen point four million for civic engagement

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: in Zimbabwe. They want to send three point nine million

64
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: for LGBTQI plus democracy grants and the Western Balkans. They

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: want to spend two point nine million of your dollars

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: for desert locust risk reduction in the Horn of Africa

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: and two million for quote organizing for feminist democratic principles

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: in Africa. We are not doing that.

69
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Hey, look man, I'm all for Honduras. You know, I

70
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: know a guy from there and his families here legally

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: and they're great, and they're awesome. But I ain't paying

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: my tax dollars for climate resilience studies in Honduras.

73
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: What does that even mean? Climate resilience? Are you walking

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: over to like the ocean? Hey, keep your head up.

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: You can do it. Stay resilient, climate resilience.

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: Those were all ridiculous things.

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Now, look, the Republicans have done their share a big

78
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: spending too. Let's not act like they haven't. But listen,

79
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: if you're going to tell me my money is going

80
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: to be spent on something like, it's not going to

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: be used to pay the debt off. If you're telling

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: me it's going to be used on something, I could

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: listen to the argument if it's something that has to

84
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: do with the United States. But you're telling me you

85
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: want to take this money and do research in Zimbabwe

86
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: and work on the locusts and parts of Africa.

87
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: And not only that. On top of that, they're arguing

88
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: over spending that was supposed to end this year anyway

89
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: because of COVID. That's what they're they want to keep spending.

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: I know this. I know all the healthcare and all

91
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: the handouts are supposed to end because of COVID. This

92
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: was the end date, but now we want to keep

93
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: those going. No eh, Democrat Senator Mark Kelly out of Arizona.

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: He went on CNBC and the host of CNBC basically

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: let Senator Kelly up and.

96
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: Only one person and the Democratic Party has broken with

97
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: the ranks. It's like, I don't understand it. It hasn't been

98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: working well for demostrats.

99
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 5: But the government does not have to be shut down.

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 5: It doesn't have to be shut down. We can we

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 5: can now you're just part of the matter of just

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: a couple days. I mean, this could this could be

103
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 5: easily solid opating Gager at the day past sixty.

104
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: To get past sixty, you need some Democrats to reopen

105
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: the That's what's going to have to happen.

106
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: Senator.

107
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: You close the government down because you're you want one

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: point five trillion for all these different things that Schumer

109
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 4: wants that it's obvious to everyone, although you know, maybe

110
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 4: you can convince the public that it's the Republicans, but

111
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: it's not.

112
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: And it's interesting that he ends that conversation that way

113
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: because a new ABC poll shows that Americans have moved

114
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: toward blaming Republicans, Democrats, and Trump equally for all of this.

115
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: So despite the messaging that it's the Schumer shutdown that

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: keep in mind it's an ABC poll, so take that

117
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: for what it's worth. But ABC says, I think most

118
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: Americans view all of you guys to blame for this,

119
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: and maybe there's something to that. Real quick, on the

120
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: subject of spending here
