It's starting to 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 2: make the judges and the prosecutors in this city look 6 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 2: like a holes. And if you just want to reset 7 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: that real quick, I appreciate it. 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 3: I love that the rest of the country is finally 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 3: seeing what we see on the regular. But the story is, 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 3: there was a guy that was recently arrested for an 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: attempted stabbing, and they originally charged him with an attempted murder. 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 3: Since then, because it's Marion County, before it even went 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 3: to a judge, they lowered the charge. Ah FOP president 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: Rick Snyder talked about that yesterday on our program. If 15 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 3: you missed that conversation, go back and listen to the 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 3: podcast at WIBC dot com. 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: Pretty powerful. 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: But the guy that did it has now been arrested 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 3: ninety nine times is stabbing. 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: It was the stabbing the ninety ninth or is that 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: ninety nine? 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: Okay, that was ninety nine, and the prosecutor has already 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 3: downgraded the charge from attempted murder to aggravated battery, which 24 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 3: allows for lower bond, less jail time, and a suspended sentence. 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: How convenient for the assailant. Right, oh well, thanks judge, 26 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: Thanks prosecutor. 27 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 3: Like this didn't even get into the weeds of the 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: legal system yet.

You know, he was a for 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: trespassing a lot. Where did you want him to go? Look, 35 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: being autistic does not give you a green light to 36 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: break the law. 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Where did you want him to go?

That's 44 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: Marion County for you.

You're not supposed to 59 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: set a record every year. I say it all the time. 60 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: So when you tell me crime is down over the 61 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: last five years, well, the last five years have been 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 3: the most violent five years in the history of the city. 63 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 4: So let's just pump the brakes a little bit. 64 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: The last two years. 65 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: Last five days, right, five people were murdered in a 66 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 3: twenty four hour span. Indianapolis is outpacing Chicago in homicides 67 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: per capita by at least ten percent, according to the 68 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: latest numbers given to us by the FOP. 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: You're saying this guy that's been arrested ninety nine Times 70 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: latest for attempted murder downgraded to what aggraded. Battery is 71 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: making national headlines. People, it's getting national attention. It is. 72 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: This is a story that just shows how broken not 73 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: just Indianapolis, but I'll lot of justice systems all around 74 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: the country. Stephen Miller, he is the Deputy chief of 75 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: Staff for policy under Donald Trump. He's like the bald guy, 76 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: but he's super smart and he always is the smartest 77 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 3: guy in the room. That cat he retweeted libs of TikTok, 78 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: who had shared this story, and Stephen Miller writes, quote, 79 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: we don't have to live this way. And he's absolutely 80 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: right now Stephen Miller, He's also big into what Trump's 81 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: trying to do in some of these high crime Democrat cities. 82 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: She'd come here, right, Maybe the next time the governor's here, 83 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: we can have a conversation. 84 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 85 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: I believe that governor might be here October eighth for 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: his next visit. So if that's the case, put this 87 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: on the docket of things to talk about. 88 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: So Trump's in Memphis now, like he's sending is he 89 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 2: sending the guard? 90 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 3: What's he doing sending anyone available ice the guard? Every 91 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: thing that he did in Washington, d C. That's happening 92 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: in Memphis, and it's about to happen in Portland. Those 93 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: are the next steps. 94 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 5: Now. 95 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: ICE is working overtime in Chicago right now, but they 96 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 3: haven't brought in National Guard yet. But in Memphis, it's 97 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: anybody that's available. They held a press conference last night. 98 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 3: Here is Stephen Miller. 99 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 6: We will liberate this city from the criminal element that 100 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 6: is plagued it for generations. This is not just a 101 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 6: strategy shift, this is an attitude shift. We are not 102 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 6: going to live in an environment every war anywhere where 103 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 6: there is a street that belongs to a criminal, where 104 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 6: there is a neighborhood that belongs to a gang, where there. 105 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 7: Is any physical space anywhere that belongs to anyone other 106 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 7: than the law abiding citizens and families of Memphis. The 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 7: idea that there is a square inch of block in 108 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 7: this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable. 109 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 7: This is Memphis, this is the United States of America. 110 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 4: And all that is done, it's over, it's finished. 111 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: Replace. I mean, could you imagine hearing that if you're 112 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 2: living in Memphis, in one of those high risk areas 113 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: where there's a lot of poverty and a lot of crime. 114 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: Could you imagine just you know, wanting to live your 115 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: life and hearing someone and say those words, and how 116 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: that would be amazing. 117 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: And look, there's a lot of people that probably didn't 118 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: vote for Trump that live there, right that would be 119 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: happy to hear. 120 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: That, right. I'd be happy to hear it here, right. 121 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: And I think it's been said here by IMPD and 122 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: the upper echelon of their leadership, but man coming from 123 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: Trump's cabinet is something totally different that was pretty powerful. 124 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: Now, in order to pull this off, you have to 125 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: have enough federal prosecutors to come in. 126 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: That's the problem with Indianapolis right now. 127 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: You could have the National Guard come in, but if 128 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 3: it has to go through Captain woke Pants Prosecution Office, 129 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: then they're just going to kick those people back out 130 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 3: to the streets. You've got to bring in some sort 131 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: of outside prosecutors. And I know that the IMPD and 132 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: even Boss Hog set have been trying to do this 133 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: as much as they can, but you can't do it 134 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: all the time unless it's a federal issue. The White 135 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: House now saying that mass layoffs are imminent with no 136 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: end to the shutdown in sight, so. 137 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: I'm trying to decide if that's a good thing or 138 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: a bad thing in terms of the shutdown, because I 139 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: thought that's what Doge was supposed to do. 140 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: Correct, But it's also a little bit of mixed messaging. Okay, 141 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: So jd Vance, he spoke yesterday and he admits, you know, 142 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: he could be wrong, but he doesn't think this thing's 143 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: going to be very long. 144 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 8: I actually don't think it's going to be that long 145 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 8: of a shutdown. This is a pure guess from the 146 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 8: Vice President the United States, because I think you already 147 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 8: saw some evidence that moderate Democrats are cracking a little, 148 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 8: but they understand the fundamental. 149 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: Illogic of this. 150 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 8: Look for years, every single one of us, we can 151 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 8: remember Barack Obama on the White House lawn, we can 152 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 8: remember Chuck Schumer, we can remember you know, Nancy Pelosi 153 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 8: for years, in Chuck Schumer's case, for literally decades, we've 154 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 8: heard them say, you don't shut the government down over 155 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 8: policy disagreement. Okay, Republicans think this thing about healthcare, that 156 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 8: thing about healthcare. Democrats think this thing about immigration. Republicans disagree. 157 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 8: Whatever those disagreements are, you don't shut down the government 158 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 8: over it. For the first time since the Democrats have 159 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 8: been in politics, they're now saying that unless we get 160 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 8: every policy item that we demand, we're going to shut 161 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 8: down the people's government. They're trying to take a hostage 162 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 8: and we're not going to let them. 163 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 3: Okay, So that was Jda Vance, a Democrat shut down, 164 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: No question. It's really down to one issue. And I 165 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: know we've debated with Rob Kendall about this because Rob 166 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: wants to take you down some rabbit hole of Obamacare 167 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: this and Obamacare that.

This time is different, and 332 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: that is one reason why I think that Republicans actually 333 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: have a chance to win the messaging battle and maybe 334 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: get a little bit more out of this one as well. 335 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: Talk a little bit about the messaging battle here, because 336 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: I know for guys like us, you know, we talk 337 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: about this stuff every day we live. 338 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: In this world. 339 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 4: We see it, we get it. 340 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 3: But I feel like if you go into any barber 341 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 3: shop across America, you go into any Denny's or a 342 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 3: waffle house and say, hey, who do you think is 343 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: winning the messaging battle. I don't even think half the 344 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: people know the government's shut down because their mail still 345 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: being delivered and checks are still being passed out. Is 346 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 3: there really a messaging battle. 347 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: That's a very good point that you're making. And the 348 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: Democrats want this to become more widespread, they want it 349 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: to be talked about in barbaris, but it's not. Donald 350 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: Trump totally controls the narrative right now. He's sucking up 351 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: all the oxygen. Democrats are so desperate they don't even 352 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: want to win the shutdown, and they're making unreasonable demands 353 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: that they know will never happen. They just want to 354 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: force a national conversation on healthcare because that's the one 355 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: issue where they feel like they might have some kind 356 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: of advantage of Republicans. But they're doing a terrible job 357 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: at it. They can't say on message. They're getting distracted 358 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: by Donald Trump posting memes online of Democrat leader Hakeem 359 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: Jeffries in a sombrero in a Vexican ow fit, and 360 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: what the king Jeffries do? He pivots to talking about 361 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: Trump being referenced. He can't even say o message to 362 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: make this about health care Meanwhile, Republicans are just punneling 363 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: Democrats talking about how they're trying to provide taxpayer funded 364 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: healthcare to illegals. CNN says that that's not true. Republicans 365 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: are lying, but you have even Democrats in Congress saying 366 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: that's exactly what we're trying to do. So Democrats for 367 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: once are stepping all over their message while Republicans are 368 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: united and saying, you know what, all we want to 369 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: do is keep the government. 370 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: Open, and make no mistake about it. Big picture here, 371 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 2: this is a Democrat government shutdown right. 372 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: Unquestionably, Republicans have the White House, Republicans have the House, yep, 373 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: Republicans have the Senate. The only reason that the short 374 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: term seven week cr has not been passed is because 375 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: there are only fifty three Republicans and you need sixty 376 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: to advance this, so Democrats have a little bit of leverage. 377 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: But this is only a short term funding bill. This 378 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: isn't the kind of legislation that you want to make 379 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: these huge, gargantuine changes to. And the thing is there 380 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: actually would be a time for that over the next 381 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: seven weeks in Congress works on a broader, longer term 382 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: government spending plan. But Democrats are sabotaging that. They are 383 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: nuking their own chases of that by blowing up this 384 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: seven week cr It's just total political malpractice. 385 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 3: Bradley, one more thing on this government shut down deal here. 386 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 3: This happened before during Trump's first presidency, and he was 387 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 3: pretty you know, proud to say I'm happy to shut 388 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: down the government. It went on for you know, a 389 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 3: number of days, but at the end of it, he 390 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: didn't really get the funding for his wall that he wanted. 391 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: How is Donald Trump different now? How is this Republican 392 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 3: Congress different now than they were back in his first term. 393 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: I think that there's no question that Trump has I 394 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: almost want to say matured. I don't know if that's 395 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: quite right, but you can tell he's much more comfortable 396 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: and confident in his role, partly because he doesn't have 397 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: every other Republican in Washington, DC waiting to knife him 398 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: in the back like in his first term. Looking the 399 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: last shutdown in eighteen a b bled into twenty nineteen. 400 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: Republicans had just lost the House. This was in the 401 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: lame duck session. Trump wanted four to five billion dollars 402 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: four or five billion, that's almost nothing. When you consider 403 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: that the one big beautiful bill passed earlier the year 404 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: had oh gosh, I think like forty five billion just 405 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: for a wall, on top of billions and billions more 406 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: for border security. But all of the Republicans at that time, 407 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: back in eighteen were not aligned around Trump. Trump shutting 408 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: down the government over that. It's also worth noting that 409 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: was not a full government shutdown. It was only a 410 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: partial government shutdown. Some of it was funded. But also 411 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: Democrats they were just days away from retaking the House 412 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: and getting more leverage, so they had no incentive to 413 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,479 Speaker 1: go along with Trump. Then this is an entirely different 414 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 1: ballgame of Democrats are looking silly, They're making demands that 415 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: are changing from day to day. They're getting distracted. And again, 416 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: Republicans have such a straightforward request. We want to keep 417 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: the government open just for seven weeks so that we 418 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: can actually continue by partisan negotiations, and Democrats don't want that. 419 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: I mean, the few Americans who are paying attention just 420 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: aren't buying what Democrats are selling. 421 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: Well, there's some military people that are paying attention during 422 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: the Schumer shutdown, right, I mean, Chuck Schumer's shutting down 423 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: some military paychecks. There are real people being affected by 424 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: the Democrats shutdown, right, Oh, you're you're. 425 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: Right, and it's primarily those people who do rely on 426 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: government checks for their livelihood. All that could end tomorrow 427 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: is Chuck Schumer and his Democrats just a handful. They 428 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: only need five more of them in order to pass 429 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: that r But Democrats would say, you know what, we 430 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: don't think it's appropriate for us to force us shut 431 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: down where the men and women serving in our military 432 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: continue to get or do not get paid, while members 433 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: of Congress do get paid. You even had Senator Ruben 434 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: Gego from Arizona come out and very publicly say say, 435 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: I'm not giving up my paycheck. I don't have a 436 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: lot of money. I've got alimony, tainments, and bills to pay. 437 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna continue accepting my paycheck. What a wonder. 438 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: But this is what Democrats are doing, and the reason 439 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: why is they don't have a leader, they don't have 440 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: a message, they don't have an agenda, And you're exactly right, 441 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: they're tone deaf because they're not in tune with where 442 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: the American people are. 443 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 3: Hey, Bradley, speaking of the military here, what did you 444 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 3: think of the big speech that Pete Hegsath gave to 445 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 3: all the leaders that gathered there in Virginia. I mean, 446 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: it feels like it's been years since the Joe Biden 447 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 3: present sidency to the Donald Trump presidency. It's only been 448 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 3: like one you know, it's been one and a half years. 449 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 3: It feels like it's been an eternity. When you talk 450 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 3: about the differences in the military. 451 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: Not only was that speech important in the history of 452 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: the military and a shift in military stary culture, that 453 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: was a shift in American culture. It was a return 454 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: to normalcy in so many ways, and a lot of 455 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: these themes and initiatives had been talked about before by 456 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: the President, by Secretary of Hexit. But I mean, if 457 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: you have it, it was a forty five minute speech, 458 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: but it should just be required listening or reading, not 459 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: only for everybody in the military or in listening, but 460 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: probably for people applying for citizenship too. It was just 461 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: it was it was a call to what made America great. 462 00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: High standards, no special carve outs for anyone, know, dudes 463 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: and dresses. I mean, it was so again, like nineteen 464 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: ninety it would have seemed perfectly normal. It's wild that 465 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: we've experienced so much in the past few years that 466 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: everything that Secretary of Hexs has said is almost radical. 467 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: But it really was a pivotal moment for this country, 468 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: and he Secretary Hexits really planted the flag that said, 469 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: you know what, we know what made our country great, 470 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: we know what made our military grade. It's not this 471 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: diversity junk, and we're going to get back to high 472 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: standards and around the focus of actually serving our war 473 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: fighters and being an effective military force, not this cultural experiment. 474 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: Bradley, what are you currently working on at brightbar dot com. 475 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: We are following this shutdown very closely. The Senate took 476 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: a break today for the Jewish holiday. They're given Democrats 477 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: one more day to think about it, but the and 478 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: it's going to vote again Friday. They're going to vote 479 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: again Monday. If it doesn't to see our doesn't pass Friday. 480 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a possibility that Democrats will come to 481 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: their senses because they're just getting blistered even by their 482 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: establishment media colleagues. But if they don't come to their 483 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: senses by Monday, we might be looking at a long shutdown. 484 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: That'll be interesting, But we're going to stay on top 485 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: of it.

So a reporter asked old Lady Pelosi, 662 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 3: who doesn't really like AOC, if you remember Nige when 663 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 3: the big Green Deal was rolled out whatever it was called. 664 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, there, dream or whatever, dream or whatever. 665 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 3: Heloc, not a big fan of AOC, gets a little 666 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 3: mouthy when asked if this whole shutdown is led behind 667 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 3: the scenes by AOC. 668 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 5: Who is a thought from the Republicans that AOC is 669 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 5: directing this, And she said that senators are welcome to 670 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 5: go to her office directly. 671 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 2: She is, she driving out, why are. 672 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 17: You saying such a ridiculous thing. I'm just quoting what 673 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 17: AOC said, she said, go to her office directly. 674 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 2: Do you think there's any credibility to. 675 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 17: That directing this? She's wonderful, she's a real team player. 676 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 17: In the rest of it. You started by saying Republicans 677 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 17: say that she's directing this. She is not how King 678 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 17: Jeffries is. And this takes a lot of experience, a 679 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 17: lot of unity from the caucus in terms of the 680 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 17: point of view, and that's what this is. She's an 681 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 17: articulate spokesperson for her point of view. 682 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: She talks like this on TikTok. I definitely think we 683 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 2: should do with government shut down because I'm AOC. 684 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 3: Let's get done of the nitty gritty AOC hot or 685 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 3: not nuge hot Kurt Gerald's hot. I hate myself for 686 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 3: saying this, but that's three for three. Even if she's 687 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 3: put on a little bit, you know what, so have I. 688 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 3: That happens when you get older. A lot of people 689 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 3: thought AOC was knocked up. Not true, she just put 690 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 3: on a little bit. That's okay. 691 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 4: I disagree with. 692 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 3: Everything she has to say, but man, if I were 693 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,919 Speaker 3: single and it's a one night type of situation, I'm 694 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 3: gonna hit it with the socialist sweetheart. 695 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 2: Schumer is Chuck Schumer is very scared he's gonna get 696 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 2: primaried by the congresswoman. 697 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 4: There's a lot of chatter about that. 698 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 3: So I guess that becomes the question, is AOC as 699 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 3: batcrap crazy as she is going to become the face 700 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 3: of the Democrats? And before everybody laughs at that, if 701 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 3: you're a Republican and you laugh and scoff. 702 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 2: At that, I still kind of do. 703 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 3: She's a fundraising machine. She brings in more money than anybody. 704 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 3: She appeals to a younger generation of Democrats. She's active 705 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 3: on social media. I'm telling you you can't laugh at 706 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 3: AOC because people laughed at Donald Trump one point exactly. 707 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 2: That was my point. You can't laugh at anything at 708 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 2: this point in terms of who's running for office, who's 709 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 2: going to get elected? Where president, senator, congressman? Because Donald 710 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 2: Trump did it in twenty fifteen, and they were laughing 711 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 2: their asses off at him. 712 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 4: Right the minute he came down the escalator. 713 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 3: They thought, what the host of the Apprentice running for president? 714 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 4: Who could see that? 715 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 3: And now he's in his second term as President of 716 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 3: the United States. All I'm saying is Republicans don't get 717 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 3: cocky because AOC is a threat. 718 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 4: She has mass appeal to young voters. 719 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 3: Now you can argue whether or not young voters are idiots, 720 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 3: We could have that conversation, but she appeals to them. 721 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 3: They see something in her and she raises a buttload 722 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: of money, So keep an eye out for that. Meanwhile, 723 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 3: on CNN, they're tackling the big issues in regards to 724 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 3: this government shutdown host John Burnan Berman and Caitlin Collins. 725 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 4: They can't believe that during a government. 726 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 3: Shutdown, the Trump administration is doubling down with memes, sombreros 727 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 3: and mariachi music making fun of Hakeem Jeffreys. And it's 728 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 3: not just him, it's the fact that he's the face 729 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 3: of the Democrats. 730 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 4: He's the minority leader in the House. 731 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 2: This is part of the shutdown is they want Democrats 732 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 2: want health care for illegal aliens. 733 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 4: Right, That's what it is. That's what this is about. 734 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 3: It's about health care for illegal aliens, and the Republicans 735 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 3: are like, no, we're not going to do that. So 736 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 3: they're taking the face of the House Democrats, Hakim Jeffries, 737 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 3: the minority leader, and they're doing a bunch of memes 738 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 3: with him, where he's celebrating people from other countries. They're 739 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 3: putting somebreros on him, they're playing mariachi music, and boy CNN, 740 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 3: they were melting down. 741 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 18: So we played sound from Vice President of Vance not 742 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 18: just defending that AI racist video of mineral leader Jeffries 743 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 18: warning a sombrero, but also like celebrating that video, and 744 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 18: it was playing out a loop in the briefing room today. 745 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 19: It was not only just playing on a loop in 746 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 19: the briefing room. If you've never been in the press 747 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 19: briefing room for those who haven't, there are loudspeakers overheads 748 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 19: so you can hear announcements or what's being said, or 749 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 19: if there's an event going on with the President in 750 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 19: the Rose Guard, for example, they were playing that mariachi 751 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 19: music as well over the loudspeakers. For all the press 752 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 19: that was coming in and out of the White House 753 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 19: today inside the cross briefing room. It just kind of 754 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 19: gives you a window, John into how they're dealing with 755 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 19: this and how they believe they have the upper hand 756 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 19: when it comes to the messaging here and this time, 757 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 19: you know there's a moment here they're being heavily criticized 758 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 19: over this, over these posts by the President by Democrats, 759 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 19: and instead of backing off or apologizing for it, they're 760 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 19: leaning into it. And they're playing the music over loudspeakers 761 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 19: and on repeat inside the briefing room because they simply 762 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 19: don't care about that criticism. 763 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 3: Imagine being that upset over Trump's social media putting a 764 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 3: sombrero on Hakem Jeffries because he wants to take care 765 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 3: of illegal aliens more so than United States citizens. 766 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 2: They care more about the people here that are illegal 767 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 2: they don't have a right to be here, than the 768 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 2: people that are citizens. It's easy, it's easy enough to understand. 769 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 3: So earlier this morning, I put out on social media 770 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 3: it's the roast of me.

No, you know, 1021 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 2: you get up, you're shamed, you go back into rehab 1022 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,359 Speaker 2: and do the same things. Am I wrong? 1023 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 14: No, You're not wrong at all, And that's what you do. 1024 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,799 Speaker 14: That's what recovery is, coming back from recovery over and 1025 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 14: over again, as some of the past some of us 1026 00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 14: take and that's unfortunately, but it is true.

That's the joy of recovery. The thing is, 1183 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 14: when you're recovering now alcoholic, you have to put in 1184 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 14: the work. But I and it's sometimes it's a little arger, 1185 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,120 Speaker 14: but sometimes there's. 1186 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 10: There's a lot to it. 1187 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 14: One of the recovery centers I was at it was 1188 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,920 Speaker 14: a step study. It was a step study for troubled children, 1189 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,919 Speaker 14: except we're all forty and we go through the NA 1190 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 14: workbook for step one, complete surrendering, step one that your 1191 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 14: alcoholic and addict has to make to begin their recovery journey 1192 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 14: in Arnest and there was sixty nine question Yeah, I know, 1193 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 14: it's a lot of questions, and they were saying, yeah, 1194 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 14: if you're write yes or no, you got to go 1195 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 14: back and do the whole thing again.

Is Nigel Jason Hammer right over there with 1225 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 2: a very special and familiar guest on the hotline. 1226 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 3: No stranger to this program, although the title is a 1227 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 3: little different. He's now the principal deputy spokesperson with the 1228 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:24,400 Speaker 3: State Department. Tommy Piggott joins us. Tommy, good to have 1229 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 3: you back. 1230 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:25,240 Speaker 4: How are you. 1231 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 5: I'm doing well. 1232 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:28,640 Speaker 15: Thanks for having me on. It's been a while. Great 1233 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 15: to be back on the show. 1234 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:33,600 Speaker 3: Your job affected at all by government shut down that's 1235 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 3: happening right now. 1236 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 15: Tommy, Well, naturally it is the State Department's affected. Naturally, 1237 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 15: there are people that are furloughed, and our ability to 1238 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 15: be proactive. Quite frankly, it is sometimes hurt by this, 1239 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 15: our ability to host events or reach out. Of course, 1240 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 15: we're doing everything we can to maintain our critical functions 1241 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 15: here at the State Department, to maintain those services that 1242 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 15: we have to maintain. We're doing everything we possibly can, 1243 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 15: but of course it's affected. It's affected by the sense 1244 01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,920 Speaker 15: that we're not able to do a lot of that 1245 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 15: proactive diplomacy. And I think the contrast that we're seeing 1246 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 15: from President Trump's leadership and really the conflicts he stopped 1247 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 15: that the foreign policy that he has put in places 1248 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,080 Speaker 15: that's been yielding so many results. The contrasts we have 1249 01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 15: there into what Democrats congression Democrats and the fact that 1250 01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,440 Speaker 15: they oppose that Congressional resolution. I mean it really the 1251 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 15: continued resolution excuse me. It really is quite the contrast 1252 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,840 Speaker 15: I think between the two. 1253 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:28,640 Speaker 3: So what does this shutdown mean for the talks in 1254 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 3: the Israeli Palestinian War, Because it feels like there was 1255 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,440 Speaker 3: some real progress there. There was some optimism that maybe 1256 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 3: some sort of agreement could be made. There was a 1257 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 3: lot of chatter of that, but then the government shutdown 1258 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 3: took place. 1259 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 4: Do those talks end or what happens here? 1260 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 15: Well, we're continuing those critical missions, We're continuing trying to 1261 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 15: have those talks. We're continuing also trying to get to 1262 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 15: that peace agreement. I mean the fact that President Trump 1263 01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 15: announcing that historic peace plan that he put in place 1264 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 15: and then a few hours later having the shutdown talk. 1265 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 15: I think it also shows, I mean, to be quite frank, 1266 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 15: as secretaries in the past have said Secretary John Kerry, 1267 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 15: secretaries under previous administrations have talked about the damage that 1268 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 15: shutdowns due to our foreign policy, the message that descends, 1269 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 15: and I do think it's quite ironic for all the criticism, 1270 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 15: misplaced criticism that people have leveled at a President Trump 1271 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,680 Speaker 15: saying that somehow he's undermining confidence in our foreign policy. 1272 01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,640 Speaker 15: First of all, nothing could be further from the truth. 1273 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 15: But a shutdown undermines that confidence in our foreign policy. 1274 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 15: If anything, a shutdown has that effect on other countries 1275 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,440 Speaker 15: view our foreign policy. So these critical missions are continuing, 1276 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,720 Speaker 15: and thank goodness, we have President Trump in office who's 1277 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 15: able to command the respects of leaders on the world stage, 1278 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,880 Speaker 15: who's able to bring parties together. But there can be 1279 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 15: no doubt that shutdown, of course, affects how other countries 1280 01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 15: view our nation and critics of our administration, of President 1281 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,240 Speaker 15: Trump's administration. Of course, all of us serving under him 1282 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,400 Speaker 15: only have to look to previous comments from Democrats secretaries 1283 01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 15: of state to show that this affec confidence and the 1284 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:05,880 Speaker 15: government and really does do damage tower viewed internationally. And thankful, 1285 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 15: thankfully again, President Trump is our president and able to 1286 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 15: bring people together and command such respect on the world stage. 1287 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 2: And Tommy, let's be clear, this shutdown is a direct 1288 01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 2: result of the Democrats. So this is a Democrats shutdown, 1289 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 2: is it not? 1290 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean there are facts here. I mean there's 1291 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 15: a continuing resolution that is supported by President Trump. There's 1292 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,720 Speaker 15: a continuing resolution that was passed by the House, and 1293 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,879 Speaker 15: there's a continuing resolution that was blocked by the Democrats. 1294 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,679 Speaker 15: This is a Democrat led shutdown. That is a fact. 1295 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,080 Speaker 15: That is just the facts of the matter, and they're 1296 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,559 Speaker 15: shutting this down for unnamed reasons. I mean, the Vice 1297 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 15: President spoke so eloquently to that just the other day, 1298 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,640 Speaker 15: just yesterday, so I mean he really laid it all 1299 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 15: out there. So there are real consequences to how our 1300 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,759 Speaker 15: country is viewed on the international stage, and it's unclear 1301 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 15: why this is even happening. I mean, we should have 1302 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 15: this continued resolution. The administration supports a continuing resolution, and 1303 01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 15: President Trump stands ready to sign resolution so that we 1304 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 15: can put this behind this and get back to work 1305 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,040 Speaker 15: to actually solving conflicts and putting America first. Even though 1306 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 15: President Trump continues to you that to this day, it's 1307 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 15: just this is one of those things that is standing 1308 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:11,800 Speaker 15: in the way and making it harder to do that. 1309 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,599 Speaker 3: And Tommy, just so our audience is clear, there might 1310 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 3: be some folks listening that don't follow this kind of 1311 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 3: stuff as closely as we all do. Let's just say 1312 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 3: somebody tries to attack the United States, or there's a 1313 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 3: world situation that takes place right now. Just because there's 1314 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,679 Speaker 3: a government shutdown doesn't mean that leaders of the United 1315 01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,280 Speaker 3: States and the US military are unavailable. 1316 01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:33,960 Speaker 4: Is that correct. 1317 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,639 Speaker 15: That's correct, So we're talking about critical missions continuing. We're 1318 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 15: also seeing, for example, passport services and consular services, which 1319 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 15: are our services the State Department provides, those are also continuing. 1320 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,800 Speaker 15: So we are doing everything possible to make sure that 1321 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 15: we are continuing critical missions here at the State Department. 1322 01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,879 Speaker 15: And I know that's the posture during a shutdown across 1323 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 15: the government, to make sure that we are continuing these 1324 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 15: critical services. There are opportunities that will be missed from 1325 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 15: a proactive standpoint, though, and that's just the fact of 1326 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 15: the matter, the fact that you have so many people furlough. 1327 01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,800 Speaker 15: There are less people today at the State Department than 1328 01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 15: there were when the government was open. There are less 1329 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 15: events that are happening, there's less proactive diplomacy that is happening, 1330 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 15: there's less trying to move the ball forward in so 1331 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 15: many different areas of the world, and a lot of 1332 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,240 Speaker 15: work is happening at the State Department behind the scenes. 1333 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,120 Speaker 15: Of course, there are the main issues that get the 1334 01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 15: new news coverage every single day, but lots of times 1335 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 15: even those issues are the results of day in and 1336 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,599 Speaker 15: day out proactive diplomacy, the hard work of people out 1337 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,880 Speaker 15: here at the State Department, and during a shutdown, a 1338 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:35,839 Speaker 15: lot of that work has to come to a stop. 1339 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,000 Speaker 15: So we're continuing the critical missions. We're continuing the critical 1340 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,679 Speaker 15: services we have to provide here that the American people 1341 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,000 Speaker 15: needed to provide. But there is damage being done because 1342 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,799 Speaker 15: of that lack of proactive diplomacy because of the shutdown. 1343 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, you talked about the image of the United States 1344 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 2: on the world stage. We're speaking with Principal Deputy Spokesperson 1345 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 2: Tommy Piggott of the State Department. I'm wondering your thoughts, 1346 01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 2: just generally speaking, your analysis of what Donald Trump's speech 1347 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 2: at the UN at the UN and how it was 1348 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 2: perceived on a world stage. 1349 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 15: Yeah, it was very powerful. I think it was basically 1350 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 15: a wake up call for the free world. It was 1351 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 15: a wake up call for the free world and was 1352 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,640 Speaker 15: a call to action for the free world. He identified 1353 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,479 Speaker 15: key policies that have done such damage to our countries, 1354 01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 15: and they've been self destructive policies because there have been 1355 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,599 Speaker 15: policies that have been put in place by a lot 1356 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 15: of countries in Europe and by the previous administration, and 1357 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,720 Speaker 15: then Trump coming in thankfully and reversing so many of 1358 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 15: those dangerous policies, when it comes to climate extremism, when 1359 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 15: it comes to the open borders, solving those problems. The 1360 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 15: fact that we have zero illegal immigration, illegal immigrants crossing 1361 01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 15: the border four months in a row. I mean, that 1362 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,800 Speaker 15: is the type of success of this leadership. But the 1363 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 15: speech called out the failures across the Western world and 1364 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 15: really was a call to action to defend our values. 1365 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,400 Speaker 15: I think it was meeting this moment and the fact 1366 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,920 Speaker 15: that it was received extremely well by leaders across the world, 1367 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 15: and it was perceived with respect respect that President Trump commands. 1368 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 15: So these were hard truths that we said. This was 1369 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 15: a frank conversation with countries around the world. But countries 1370 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,400 Speaker 15: understand what President Trump is saying. They respect him, they 1371 01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,720 Speaker 15: respect his leadership. And all you have to see is 1372 01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 15: all the countries that are working with President Trump to 1373 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,560 Speaker 15: solve problems to see that respect in action. So the 1374 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 15: speech was really a powerful speech. I think the historic 1375 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 15: speech outlining the way forward and some of the problems 1376 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,720 Speaker 15: that we need to solve and policies that we need 1377 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 15: to stop as a Western world in order to really 1378 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:32,519 Speaker 15: meet the challenges of the twenty first century. 1379 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,320 Speaker 4: Tommy before we let you go here. 1380 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,080 Speaker 3: Do you have an update, because I think this story 1381 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:42,679 Speaker 3: went very much underreported. The American who was wrongfully detained 1382 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:48,200 Speaker 3: in Afghanistan wrongfully detained in Afghanistan. I know the Trump Administration, 1383 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,840 Speaker 3: the State Department, they were working really hard to get 1384 01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:52,720 Speaker 3: this guy out of there. 1385 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:53,639 Speaker 2: Do we have an update. 1386 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 15: I don't have an update for you here, but what 1387 01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,080 Speaker 15: I can say is our highest priority here at the 1388 01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,280 Speaker 15: State's Department is the safety and security of the American people, 1389 01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 15: both at home and abroad. And I can also say 1390 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 15: point you to that recent executive order, for example, that 1391 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,600 Speaker 15: President Trump signed about giving you authorities new abilities to 1392 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:14,439 Speaker 15: hold country's accountable accountable who wrongfully attained Americans. We have 1393 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,160 Speaker 15: been continually working to bring Americans home. We've brought a 1394 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,679 Speaker 15: series of Americans home who have been wrongfully and unjustly attained, 1395 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,720 Speaker 15: and we will not stop working until we see every 1396 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,439 Speaker 15: American who's wrongfully attained brought home. That's a commitment from 1397 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 15: this administration. We've been working every day to live up 1398 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,840 Speaker 15: to it, and every single day working to provide the 1399 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 15: tools and another diplomacy necessary to achieve that goal. 1400 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:37,280 Speaker 3: Tommy Pikett, the principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, Tommy, 1401 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 3: thank you so much for the updates and clarifying things 1402 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:44,040 Speaker 3: for us, and let's have this conversation again sometime for sure. 1403 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 15: Thank you for having me on. 1404 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 4: Are you really? 1405 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 6: Are you okay? 1406 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,439 Speaker 2: Yeah?

Here 1607 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,400 Speaker 20: the Republicans are taking a victory lap that they passed 1608 01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,040 Speaker 20: Biden level spending. 1609 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 4: I mean that's is that the big beautiful bill. 1610 01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,760 Speaker 20: Oh no, I mean that's what That's what Basically what 1611 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 20: they've continued, the continuation has been is I mean, they 1612 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,320 Speaker 20: have taken, they've paired back a few of the Biden programs, 1613 01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,280 Speaker 20: but by and large we're talking Biden level spending, which 1614 01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,599 Speaker 20: is why Ran Paul in the Senate voted against it 1615 01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 20: because he said, look, we're supposed to be the party 1616 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,080 Speaker 20: of low taxes and limited government, and every time we 1617 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,680 Speaker 20: get in charge of anything, we just keep spending and 1618 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 20: growing the government.

And then you have 1630 01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:33,240 Speaker 20: the Democrats who are like, yeah, the Biden level of 1631 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,400 Speaker 20: government not enough. For us anymore. We're gonna need some 1632 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 20: more government. On top of that, we are thirty seven 1633 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 20: trillion plus in debt, and nobody takes any of this 1634 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:43,040 Speaker 20: seriously whatsoever. 1635 01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:45,640 Speaker 3: But does it come down to the issue, And it 1636 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:49,120 Speaker 3: feels like it's come down to this of the Democrats 1637 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:50,880 Speaker 3: want a crap ton of money to go to the 1638 01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:55,520 Speaker 3: states so those states can pay the healthcare of illegal aliens, 1639 01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,479 Speaker 3: and the Republicans are like, we'll give the states money, 1640 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,080 Speaker 3: but you are not going to give it to illegal aliens. 1641 01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,240 Speaker 3: It feels like that's the one issue that we're coming 1642 01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 3: down to here. 1643 01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 20: Well, Republicans are wholly invested in Obamacare the same way 1644 01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,320 Speaker 20: the Democrats are. And what Obamacare is is it was 1645 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,479 Speaker 20: a massive expansion of medicaid. And if you look at 1646 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 20: what the Republicans are doing after fifteen years of huffing 1647 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:17,520 Speaker 20: and puffing and saying. 1648 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 2: Oh, Obamacare bad, we gotta do this. 1649 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,080 Speaker 20: So we gotta do that fifteen years other than let's 1650 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:25,799 Speaker 20: see two of those years. So thirteen of the fifteen 1651 01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 20: years since Republicans took the House in twenty ten, they've 1652 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:31,439 Speaker 20: had at least some control of the government, and they've 1653 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 20: done absolutely nothing about Obamacare other than in many ways 1654 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,120 Speaker 20: to strengthen it. And so now what the Republicans are 1655 01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,040 Speaker 20: doing is they're saying, well, we're not opposed to keeping 1656 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:44,160 Speaker 20: Obamacare going and fully funding Obamacare. We just need to 1657 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,920 Speaker 20: pass this government funding thing first. Then we'll come back 1658 01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 20: and do what you want in Obamacare. And the best 1659 01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 20: part about this is their quote unquote they have what 1660 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,439 Speaker 20: are they like, working group now or focus group or whatever, 1661 01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,679 Speaker 20: where a bunch of these senators are working together. Their 1662 01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:59,599 Speaker 20: new thing that they're gonna sell in Obamacare is well, 1663 01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,160 Speaker 20: we're pairing it back to where it was before twenty twenty. 1664 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:08,040 Speaker 20: So during COVID, massive amounts of people were thrown onto 1665 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,240 Speaker 20: the Medicaid rolls and it's there's all sorts of waste 1666 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:12,960 Speaker 20: fraud abuse, which there was all sorts of waste fraud 1667 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 20: abuse before COVID. But now the Republican's new victory lap 1668 01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,360 Speaker 20: they're gonna take is what we're just pairing it back 1669 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,680 Speaker 20: to where it was before COVID. 1670 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,040 Speaker 3: But in terms of the shutdown itself, this can't go 1671 01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:28,160 Speaker 3: on forever. I think some people would like it forever, 1672 01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 3: but it seems like, again, if I'm a pro handicapper, 1673 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 3: if I'm a degenerate next door here. The Democrats don't 1674 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,680 Speaker 3: have the cards, they don't have the leverage, and they 1675 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 3: don't like Chuck Schumer, and that's a big part of this. 1676 01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:41,919 Speaker 2: Well, what they'll. 1677 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,360 Speaker 20: Probably do, And look, Schumer is doing this because he's 1678 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 20: scared that he's gonna get primary challenge from AOC. What 1679 01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,599 Speaker 20: is most likely to happen is this focus group, working 1680 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,679 Speaker 20: group whatever. They're gonna cut some sort of side deal 1681 01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:56,120 Speaker 20: on Obamacare where they're promised to vote. And that's what 1682 01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 20: will probably happen is they will then be promised to 1683 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:01,080 Speaker 20: vote on Obamacare. They know the Republicans will pass it 1684 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:04,320 Speaker 20: because the Republicans are just as invested in the legalized 1685 01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:08,280 Speaker 20: vote buying business as the Democrats are. And look, that's 1686 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 20: what Obamacare has become. Are your guys, insurance any cheaper 1687 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:13,800 Speaker 20: than it was fifteen years ago? 1688 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:15,960 Speaker 4: I freel it off my wife, so you'd have. 1689 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:21,920 Speaker 2: To everything's more expensive of everything's expective. What are you 1690 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 2: talking about? Obama promised your insurance wouldn't go up one 1691 01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 2: one dime and then Hama got fired. Yeah, so because 1692 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 2: of Obamacare. 1693 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,240 Speaker 20: All Obamacare is is a massive giveaway to the insurance companies. 1694 01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,240 Speaker 20: That's all it's ever been. That's all that's happening with Obamacare. 1695 01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 2: Now. 1696 01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:40,040 Speaker 20: Nothing got any better, nothing got any more affordable. What 1697 01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 20: happens is they take money from us and then they 1698 01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,519 Speaker 20: give it to the insurance companies so that people can 1699 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:49,200 Speaker 20: buy unaffordable insurance. That's all it is. Hey, what's it called? 1700 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:51,559 Speaker 20: If you take money from somebody, you can't give it 1701 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,840 Speaker 20: to yourself. You give it to somebody else who then 1702 01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 20: gives it to you. There's a name for that, money laundering. 1703 01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:58,559 Speaker 20: That's what it's called. 1704 01:27:58,680 --> 01:27:59,679 Speaker 2: That's what it's called. 1705 01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 20: And that's what's happening here. And the Republicans will cut 1706 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,479 Speaker 20: a deal you watch with the Democrats that in order 1707 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,200 Speaker 20: for them to vote for this budget, they will guarantee 1708 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 20: a vote on Obamacare which will pass. 1709 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,360 Speaker 3: Okay, tenfoil hat here. Tell me if I'm completely out 1710 01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,240 Speaker 3: of left field here, I think there's a lot of 1711 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 3: Democrats that want Chuck Schumer to fail miserably here so 1712 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:19,600 Speaker 3: they can replace him. They can primary him when the 1713 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,040 Speaker 3: time comes around, and this will be the death knell 1714 01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,240 Speaker 3: on the coffin. They can get a little bit younger, 1715 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:26,719 Speaker 3: they can just go all in too, the young, crazy 1716 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,840 Speaker 3: radical side bring in AOC, whoever it is. I think 1717 01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:32,280 Speaker 3: they want Chuck Schumer to fail. 1718 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,639 Speaker 20: I think the base does. I think the institution, though, 1719 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,120 Speaker 20: which almost always wins out. I think the institution is 1720 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,720 Speaker 20: fine with Chuck Schumer being there, and so that will 1721 01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:43,680 Speaker 20: be an interesting battle, but we all lose in the end. 1722 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:44,080 Speaker 2: Anyway. 1723 01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 20: There's nothing either of these parties are doing to make 1724 01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,360 Speaker 20: life more affordable. There's nothing they're doing that's going to 1725 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,000 Speaker 20: fix inflation. There's nothing that's gonna make goods and services 1726 01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:51,680 Speaker 20: more readily of it. 1727 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,160 Speaker 2: And most people in the government. 1728 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,559 Speaker 20: Are still working well, of course, and they're gonna get 1729 01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,519 Speaker 20: paid when they come back. Like I remember the first 1730 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,760 Speaker 20: time the government's shut down happened in twenty thirteen, and 1731 01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:02,479 Speaker 20: I was all. 1732 01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,639 Speaker 2: Jazzed up about it. I was a young elected official. 1733 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,680 Speaker 20: I was like, Yeah, the Republicans are growing affair, let's go. 1734 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:09,360 Speaker 20: And then whatever it was they caved on and then 1735 01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:11,840 Speaker 20: everybody got their money. I was like, wait, people got 1736 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,240 Speaker 20: their money to not work. Oh yeah, that's how it works. 1737 01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 2: Well what the hell is that? 1738 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,599 Speaker 3: So basically your first reaction to a government shut down 1739 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,519 Speaker 3: was how I felt after I bought that many Paqi 1740 01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:24,559 Speaker 3: how Floyd Mayweather. 1741 01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 2: You get all. 1742 01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:30,719 Speaker 3: Excited, You're ready to go, and then afterwards you find 1743 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,040 Speaker 3: out Paqiao was hurt. 1744 01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 4: They just kind of hugged each other for an hour. 1745 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:35,080 Speaker 2: What the hell was that? 1746 01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:37,120 Speaker 20: Where did you guys? Did you watch it at your house? 1747 01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:42,720 Speaker 20: Did you actually buy? I paid twenty five dollars to 1748 01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:46,599 Speaker 20: get into Kilroy's in Broad Ripple and there was lines. 1749 01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:48,559 Speaker 20: Every place had a line and it was like sold out, 1750 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:50,639 Speaker 20: so you had to get there. This was the greatest 1751 01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 20: scam and scheme in American history because everybody made out 1752 01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 20: like bandits on this fight because you had to get 1753 01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,360 Speaker 20: there like six hours early, so you just had to 1754 01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,000 Speaker 20: sit there for the undercart and drink for like six 1755 01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 20: hours and like one hundred. 1756 01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,160 Speaker 2: Dollars bar tab by the time it was time to leave. 1757 01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,559 Speaker 20: And that fight, you're right, it was horrible and the 1758 01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:08,760 Speaker 20: guy was hurt and didn't disclose it right. 1759 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 2: That pissed me off more than anything else. 1760 01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,559 Speaker 3: Either cancel the fight and reschedule it, but don't go 1761 01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:15,719 Speaker 3: out there hurt and just go through the motions. 1762 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,040 Speaker 2: Hey, can I tell you switching subjects here? One of 1763 01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,439 Speaker 2: my favorite moments this week on the Kendeling Casey Show. 1764 01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 2: You were pissing Casey off because she said, Pete Heggseth, 1765 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:26,080 Speaker 2: the Secretary of War, is kicking out all the women 1766 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 2: in the military. That's right, this big grand speech that 1767 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:32,880 Speaker 2: he made. 1768 01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:33,880 Speaker 4: But you didn't. 1769 01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 2: But seriously, though, this thing with Pete hegg Sath, you 1770 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:39,559 Speaker 2: had a little bit of a problem with it, didn't 1771 01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:42,320 Speaker 2: you at some point when he was talking about the 1772 01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:43,440 Speaker 2: female perspective. 1773 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,519 Speaker 20: Well, sometimes I just do things to see how mad 1774 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,280 Speaker 20: I can make Casey. Casey'll do this thing where she 1775 01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 20: sticks her tongue in her cheek. Yeah, and she's like 1776 01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,080 Speaker 20: grinding her teeth over it, and I can see she 1777 01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 20: really wants to say something, and it's like, okay, big. 1778 01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:57,559 Speaker 2: Girl, come on, you want to dance, let's dance. And 1779 01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:59,400 Speaker 2: then she wisely decides not to dance. 1780 01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:03,240 Speaker 20: My issue with it is this, how many people do 1781 01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,400 Speaker 20: we actually have in the military. We've all heard about 1782 01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:08,200 Speaker 20: declining enrollment in the military, et cetera, because we've so 1783 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,320 Speaker 20: demonized the military and we don't reward the military properly. 1784 01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,439 Speaker 2: If we have enough people to. 1785 01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:18,080 Speaker 20: Do the thing, which is engage in frontline combat missions 1786 01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:21,600 Speaker 20: if necessary, then fine, kick all the women out that 1787 01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,040 Speaker 20: can't meet the standard. But I just don't know do 1788 01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:25,760 Speaker 20: we have enough people now to be able to pull 1789 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,440 Speaker 20: that off? And I didn't think the interesting the phraseology 1790 01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:32,400 Speaker 20: they used was highest male. Was it like highest male standard? 1791 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 20: I thought, wow, talk about deliberately trying to piss a 1792 01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:38,680 Speaker 20: group of people off and make horrible headlines go for 1793 01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 20: If we have enough people to do it, great, That 1794 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:43,120 Speaker 20: was my only point in all this. I don't know 1795 01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:43,800 Speaker 20: if we do or not. 1796 01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,840 Speaker 3: Somewhere there's a guy that's had a drill sergeant in 1797 01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,200 Speaker 3: his face, like what he was going through basic listening 1798 01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,360 Speaker 3: to you right now, going oh, the last thing we 1799 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:55,120 Speaker 3: wants to have people get their feelings hurt. Somebody was 1800 01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:58,799 Speaker 3: probably called filth Floren Floren filth right to their face. 1801 01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 3: Somebody went full full metal jacket on somebody, and we're 1802 01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:03,479 Speaker 3: going back to that. 1803 01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:03,880 Speaker 2: Look. 1804 01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,240 Speaker 20: I love that they've said the people in charge can't 1805 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 20: be big fatties and lazy people either. 1806 01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:08,800 Speaker 2: I love that. 1807 01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:12,120 Speaker 20: But I also wonder though, like, Okay, let's take patent 1808 01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:17,720 Speaker 20: during World War two, Shorts cough or Schwartz cough or Eisenhower, 1809 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,599 Speaker 20: would they have met the physical requirement. I think they 1810 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,280 Speaker 20: did a pretty good job. But look, if there's enough 1811 01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:25,920 Speaker 20: people I'm fine with it. I just wonder, in the 1812 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,679 Speaker 20: era where it's so hard to get people to engage 1813 01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 20: in the military, if you're actually gonna have enough people 1814 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:32,759 Speaker 20: to pull off what you want to do. I guess 1815 01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:35,080 Speaker 20: we'll see. Hopefully we never see. Hopefully there are no hopfelly, 1816 01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:35,519 Speaker 20: you don't. 1817 01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:36,200 Speaker 2: Have to send troops anywhere. 1818 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 3: I'm confused by what the womenists want. That's what they 1819 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:42,120 Speaker 3: called them in PCU, the movie The Womenist. Do you 1820 01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:43,760 Speaker 3: want to be treated like men? Do you want to 1821 01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:45,560 Speaker 3: be treated like everybody? Do you want to play the 1822 01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:48,679 Speaker 3: sports with the men? Okay, then the standards are the same. 1823 01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,080 Speaker 3: You've got to pass the same test that this dude 1824 01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:53,639 Speaker 3: has to pass, because if you have to rescue somebody 1825 01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:55,320 Speaker 3: from the field of battle, you got to pick them 1826 01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:55,800 Speaker 3: up and move them. 1827 01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:55,960 Speaker 15: Look. 1828 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,880 Speaker 20: I don't have any problem with that, and at least 1829 01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:02,360 Speaker 20: we're finally admitting out loud that men, biological men, all 1830 01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 20: things being equal, are physically superior, stronger than women. Now, 1831 01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,320 Speaker 20: of course it doesn't mean everybody that Rhea Ripley checked 1832 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,639 Speaker 20: from WWE could break me in half, right, But I'm 1833 01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:14,360 Speaker 20: just saying generic man versus generic woman. At least we're 1834 01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:16,479 Speaker 20: the admitting that outloud, and I think this is great. 1835 01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:18,800 Speaker 20: My only point on it was do you have enough 1836 01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,760 Speaker 20: people to actually pull this off? And if not, how 1837 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,200 Speaker 20: are you going to get enough people? 1838 01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:23,200 Speaker 4: Come back for one more? 1839 01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:23,719 Speaker 14: Yeah? 1840 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:25,639 Speaker 4: Rob Kendall going off the rails. 1841 01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 3: This is the Hammer and Nigel Show. 1842 01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:30,920 Speaker 2: It's back. 1843 01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 3: But Rob Kendall of the Kendall and Casey Show nine 1844 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 3: to nude here at ninety three WIBC. 1845 01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:37,640 Speaker 2: So this story is. 1846 01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:41,920 Speaker 3: Making national headlines now, like Trump's Deputy chief of Staff 1847 01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:44,400 Speaker 3: on policy, Stephen Miller, was tweeting about it. 1848 01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,040 Speaker 4: The dude that has been arrested. 1849 01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:52,200 Speaker 3: Ninety nine times for various crimes here in nd now 1850 01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:56,400 Speaker 3: he's charged with stabbing somebody.

It was right right there. 1854 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,519 Speaker 3: They've lessed the charge of this already. I mean, this 1855 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:10,880 Speaker 3: is laughable. You should be humiliated if you work in 1856 01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:13,160 Speaker 3: the prosecutor's office here in Marion County. 1857 01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:15,320 Speaker 4: But I got a feeling they're not well. 1858 01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:17,280 Speaker 20: So this is interesting. A couple of weeks ago, we 1859 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 20: played this clip Josh Bain, who's a City County councilor 1860 01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:21,800 Speaker 20: was interviewing one of these I think it was a 1861 01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,320 Speaker 20: Superior court judge during their budget hearing, and he asked 1862 01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:27,360 Speaker 20: about this issue about these people getting back out on 1863 01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,759 Speaker 20: the street, and the judge's response like, when you actually 1864 01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,000 Speaker 20: just listen to the words, not all that bad, right, 1865 01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 20: Like he was making some decent points. I was trying 1866 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,320 Speaker 20: to listen to it objectively, but he was so like 1867 01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:42,880 Speaker 20: flippant and arrogant in his response back to Bain, and 1868 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,960 Speaker 20: that was what really set me off. And it's sort 1869 01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:47,559 Speaker 20: of a microcosm of what's going on here in which 1870 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,240 Speaker 20: everybody kind of points their finger at somebody else, Like 1871 01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:53,400 Speaker 20: the judges point at the prosecutor, the prosecutin the mayor. 1872 01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:56,040 Speaker 20: The mayor points back at the prosecutor. The mayor points 1873 01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:58,960 Speaker 20: at the judges. Like everybody's pointing at each other instead 1874 01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:02,360 Speaker 20: of saying, look, we were at crisis point here and 1875 01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:04,200 Speaker 20: we've got to come together and figure out what's going 1876 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:05,280 Speaker 20: on in Hey, if we need to help with the 1877 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:07,720 Speaker 20: legislature to do it, great, but nobody seems to be 1878 01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:08,599 Speaker 20: leading on this. 1879 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:10,640 Speaker 3: And when did it become such a bad thing to 1880 01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:15,000 Speaker 3: lock people up, Like somehow in this county.
