1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Well, it's ending exactly as we told. Jude's ending, and 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: everyone's all it's the Kendall and Casey John rob Ethan's 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: in for Casey today. Happy birthday to Ethan. Okay, so 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: it appears now we have a deal to reopen the government. 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this last night, Ethan. The 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: Democrats are so awful and ridiculous that somehow the Republicans 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: are coming off as the good guys and all this 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: even though all they've done is continued the very government 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: they spent years railing against with it, which is Joe 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: Biden's spending levels, most of Joe Biden's spending priorities. They 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: totally lied to the voters again. And yet because the 12 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: Democrats are so bad, people are like, well, the Republicans 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: won this one, here's a notch for them. There is 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: so much dishonesty in both parties that is being perpetrated 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: right now, where Republicans are somehow celebrating biden eras spending 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: levels as a great win, and Democrats are acting as 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: if Biden and Era spending levels that they are now 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: a large defeat. I don't understand. But of course the 19 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: Democrats were always going to take the blame here for 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: the simple fact that Republicans did not have the numbers 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: to end debate. It takes sixty votes to get a 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: cloture vote in the Senate. Republicans have fifty three seats. 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: I believe there was one independent, one Democrat that ed 24 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: switch sides that took it to fifty five, and you 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: needed another five Democrats swing votes to come over and 26 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: debate and let the government reopen. That was always the case. 27 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: Republicans did not have the power to end the debate themselves. 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: But the takeaway from this is really how ineffective the 29 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: Republicans have been because look at it. Look the Democrats lost. 30 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: Whatever society's losing on this, right, we're all losing because 31 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: they're going to keep renting money, spending money. Inflation is 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: going to keep getting worse, all that stuff. Right, You've 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: given away money to the mega corporations and the insurance companies. 34 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: Wonderful self. Sure, as part of the deal is they 35 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: say the claim there's going to be a vote on 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: Obama here or now. The Republicans are like, well, we 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: didn't agree to. Look they're going to It may not 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: look exactly by the letter what it is today it 39 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: ain't don't get any better. But the point in all 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: this is, look at how hard the Democrats fought for 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: forty days for nothing. You never see the Republicans when 42 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: they were in the minority fight like this on the spending. 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: Like they never They never do this stuff. They never, 44 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's been the last time. The last shutdown 45 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: was about the border wall, and then Trump ended up 46 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: just taking money from one department and pushing over theyn't 47 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: even get the money for the border wall. The last 48 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: like shutdown shutdown I believe was twenty thirteen. That was 49 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: over Obamacare. The Republicans caved on that. So they never 50 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: do this on the spending, and it shows they could 51 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: even though when they'd have the presidency impact the spending, 52 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: if they'd fought the way the Democrats fought. All you 53 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: need to know about how unseerious Republicans in Congress are, 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: and at the presidential level too for that matter, are 55 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: about addressing government spending. Where did Doge go? Remember that? 56 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: Oh? 57 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Doge was, you know, this big thing for a 58 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: couple of months, and then Elon stepped away from the government. 59 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: Doge has fallen into the background and with the big 60 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: beautiful bill, the spending increases outdid any cuts that Doge 61 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: had made. Yeah, And then the part of this bill 62 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: because remember and this is the Republicans they lie about everything, 63 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: And people got why are you so mean to the 64 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 1: Republicans because they lie? Because they lie. The big part 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: of this was Trump was like, I can't wait for 66 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: this shutdown. We're going to reform the government. We're going 67 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: to fire all these people. We'll do all these cuts 68 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: just by the government being shutdown. Part of the deal 69 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: is all these people are coming back, So it means 70 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: there's not one cut to the government. All the people 71 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: who didn't get paid are get paid, which is fine, 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: right if you're working to get paid. But even the 73 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: people weren't working are gonna get paid. And all these 74 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: people who quote unque get fired are coming back. They're 75 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: going to vote in Obamacare. Even if it doesn't pass 76 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: in its exact current form, there's still gonna be a 77 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: massive giveaway, Like there's nothing. Why do we go through 78 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: the rigormarole of attempting to paint government shutdowns as this 79 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: big deal when for the most part, the government still operates. 80 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: The air traffic controllers were still helping the planes land, 81 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: most of the government employees were still working, our military 82 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: was still defending the country. And for those whose paychecks 83 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: were temporarily held over, the expectation has been outlined in 84 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: previous government shutdowns that they will be paid, they will 85 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: be brought back to work, and everything will continue functioning. 86 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: As it was. 87 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: That's what's happened the last several times. All right, let's 88 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: hear some audio. There is a Trump This was the 89 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: last yesterday upon the announcement that we might have a 90 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: deal on this. 91 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: Look like we're getting very close to the shutdown. We'll 92 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: never agree to give any substantial money or any money 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: to really prisoners illegals that come into our country. And 94 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: I think the Democrats understand that. And it looks like 95 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: we're getting close to the shutdown ending. You'll know very sure, 96 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: thank you very much. 97 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: Except in the big Bullcrab bill they specifically allocate all 98 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: sorts of revenue to services to illegal immigrants. So, I mean, right, 99 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: remember this was a big deal. It was not in there, 100 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: and then they forced them to put it back into 101 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: the bill. So it's just categorically untrue when he says 102 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: these things. Now, this is not over yet, even though 103 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: it has started. It will be over soon. But Mark 104 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: Wayne Mullins, he is a Republican Senator from Oklahoma, he 105 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: kind of laid out what the next several days is 106 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: going to look like because as with everything, it's the government, 107 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: so it's going to be a colossal mess. Here is 108 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: how the next several days are going to unfold. 109 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: Right now, we've got to have a motion to proceed. 110 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: It means to get on the bill. Once we pass that, 111 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: which we've already had. Ten Democrats have agreed to vote 112 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: with us, so we had the votes. Once it's passed, 113 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 3: technically it invokes twenty hour or thirty hours of debate. 114 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: Now the Democrats can yield all that back if they 115 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: want to. After that, we have another vote, and that's 116 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: to amend the clean cr the House sent over. Now 117 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: what that means is the House and over or a 118 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: clian CYR and all twelve appropriation bills. We have three 119 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 3: appropriation bills that we're amending, so we have the Ledge, 120 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 3: we have milkon, which is military and AG. Now AG 121 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: is where the SNAP program is. So we're going to 122 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: have to amend three of the twelve appropriation bills and 123 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: then see are the rest of the nine and then 124 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 3: send that back to the House after we vote on it. 125 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: But once we vote to amend it, it invokes another 126 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: thirty hours of debate and before we can actually vote 127 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: on the bill. So if the Democrats want to drag 128 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: this out, they can drag it out for sixty hours. 129 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: And we wonder why everything is is such a mess? 130 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 2: Right. 131 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: So one of the things Rand Paul hit on this, 132 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: and he is the one Republican who has voted no 133 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: throughout all of this, which is that the hypocrisy of 134 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: these people. So the official policy right now of the 135 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: government is what they call pago, which is in order 136 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: to spend more money, if to cut money, it's called pago. 137 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: And what they do every time is they just suspend pego. 138 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: It's an actual policy of our government and it's gone 139 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: back years, but because they don't want to bide by it, 140 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: they just go, well, we're suspending the rules on pago. 141 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: And that's what he's pointing out in this bill is 142 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: it just basically another permanent suspension of pago, which is 143 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: the actual policy, unless they don't like the policy, like yeah, 144 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: we're not doing that, We're not doing that. Man. It's 145 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: almost like these people can't give up taxpayer subsidized vote 146 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: buying program. That's what it is. It's legalized. Okay, real 147 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: quick before we go. I think what this came down 148 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: to was you're coming up on Thanksgiving travel. Clearly, these 149 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: air traffic controllers were calling it sick. They're walking off 150 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: the job. They were looking at a complete, complete dumpster 151 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: fire for Thanksgiving. And Sean Duffy was the Transportation Secretary. 152 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: I think he was on. I think this was Fox 153 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: News that he was on. He was talking before on 154 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: the news shows. He was talking yesterday before the deal 155 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: was announced about what Thanksgiving was going to look like. 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 4: As I look two weeks out, as we get closer 157 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 4: to Thanksgiving travel, listen, I think what's going to happen 158 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 4: is you're going to have air travel slow to a 159 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 4: trickle as everyone wants to travel to see their families. 160 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 4: I think we're going to see air traffic controllers very 161 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 4: few of them coming to work, which means, yes, you'll 162 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: have a few flights taken off and landing at our 163 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: different airports across the country. But the thousands of flights 164 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 4: that happen every day to move people around the country 165 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 4: for this great American holiday, it's not going to happen, 166 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 4: You're going to have massive disruption. I think a lot 167 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 4: of angry Americans, and I think we have to be 168 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 4: honest about where this is going. It doesn't get better, 169 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 4: it gets worse until these air traffic controllers are going 170 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 4: to be paid. 171 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: I think they were. I think the Democrats reached a 172 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: point where they were like, we're not going to get 173 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: exactly what we want and everything, you know, everything sort 174 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: of then just becomes Chaosville if people can't get where 175 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: they want to go on Thanksgiving. You already seeing the 176 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: flight delays, and I think they were like, we got 177 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: to wrap this up now. Well, I mean, hey, don't 178 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: put it past the Democrats to shut down the entire 179 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: country over a manufactured crisis. They did it during COVID. 180 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure under a certain circumstance they'd be happy to 181 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: do it again. Oh no, no, I don't dispute that I've 182 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: just said. I think they realized we're not gonna get 183 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: an Obamacare vote until we open this thing back up, 184 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: and we're gonna get most of Obamacare anyway. We might 185 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: as well just get this train moving. And there's no 186 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: government cuts as a part of this, So what are 187 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: we even what are we doing here? Do you think 188 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: that the decision to reopen the government was influenced by 189 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: polling results that they've seen, okay? Or do you think 190 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: that this was always the plan to wait for it 191 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: after election here because they believe they could capitalize on 192 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: the controversy. I think to their and I'm not giving 193 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: Republicans credit because what they're doing is very harmful to 194 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: the country, but I think to their credit they stayed 195 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: more united on this in terms of not giving it 196 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: on the Obamacare vote until it until the government was reopened, 197 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: and I think they were a little de dating. The 198 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: Democrats were a little surprised. Republicans state united on that. 199 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: They probably had, you know, some sort of group meeting, 200 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: and they were those moderates were like, we're gonna get 201 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: most of what we want anyway. We've played this out. 202 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: It's not going any further. Why would we shut down 203 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: the country over Thanksgiving and they open it up.
