WEBVTT - Government Shutdown Clock 0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:12.400 Sn Jesse Kelly show. Let's have some fun on a Monday, 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:18.360 A magnificent Monday. And it's magnificent for a variety of reasons, 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.760 not the least of which is it is the two 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:27.040 hundred and fiftieth birthday of the finest fighting force in 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:35.479 the history of mankind, Semper five Marine. I'm just warning 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:40.000 you right now, you're gonna hear this song maybe twenty 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.479 times during the show today. I'm Chris. Can we just 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.920 play it on a three hour loop behind the entire please, Chris, Please, 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.520 I have to have Chris turn it back up, turn 0:00:50.560 --> 0:01:04.039 it up. Oh, happy birthday, Marines. I love you dearly, 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.960 My brothers and sisters, I love you all Right. Beyond 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.480 the Marine Corps birthday, there's obviously a lot we have 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.040 to get to. The government shut down is ending. What happened? 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.199 Why did we have a shutdown? Why is it ending? 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.280 We will discuss that at length tonight. We are going 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:24.360 to discuss the coming times, the economic troubles. In the 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.760 various ways both both parties will fail in attempting to 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.840 address these problems. Of course, we still have to talk 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:38.120 about mass deportation, Islamic Somali clan wars, in Minneapolis. The 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.319 newspaper is trying to tell you to drink when you travel, 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.720 and we have families broken up from communism, all that 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.120 middle of Honor Monday and hour from now, all kinds 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.680 of wonderful emails, and so much more coming up tonight 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.960 on the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the United 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.680 States Marine Corps on a Monday. Before we get too 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.760 any of the other things, though, let's talk about the 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:07.760 shutdown itself, the shutdown, the shutdown coming to an end 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.919 before we discuss it. In order to set it up, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.720 we have to have a talk that we've had over 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.880 and over and over and over and over again. We 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.960 have to go after this basic fact because once we 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.800 understand this basic fact what has happened inside the Democrat Party, 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:32.760 then everything that happens from there is understandable. And what 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.880 we're about to talk about. It will explain the behavior 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.079 of elected Democrats, Democrats in the media. It will explain 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.960 the behavior you see from the liberal ant Peggy in 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.320 your life, your mom, your dad, your sister, your son, 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.280 your coworker, your friend, your whoever, the Democrat in your life. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.560 Why do they act the way they act? Why do 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:57.839 they say the things they say. So first, let's understand 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.720 there are two different kinds of people in this world. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.680 And I'm not actually saying that one is better and 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.040 one's not. I don't know how much of this is 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.640 nature or nurture, whether you are born this way or 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.600 not born this way. I'm not going to speak to that, 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.679 and we can dig into that another time. But there 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.760 are two kinds of people in this world. There are 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:29.560 people who want to be individual thinkers and there are 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:35.240 people who want to belong to the group. And I'm 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.680 actually not going to insult or complement either type, but 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.760 we must understand there are these two types of people. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.520 If if you're sitting in class, let's go back to 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.560 high school, it's your freshman year. You're sitting in class 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:58.680 and you love vanilla ice cream and the teacher. The 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.320 teacher says, hey, show of hands, We're gonna have ice 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:09.320 cream this Friday. How many of you want chocolate ice cream? 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.000 And you see twenty other kids in the class raise 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.880 their hand. Everyone but you raises their hand for chocolate 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:22.360 ice cream. In that moment, being honest with yourself, are 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:27.279 you tempted to raise your hand again? I'm just stunning 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:32.359 insult to human nature. Everyone else wants chocolate. Are you 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.040 tempted to raise your hand or is that just not 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.719 something that would even occur to you. No, I like vanilla. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.080 Screw all these other kids. I want vanilla. Two different 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.400 types of people, many people. I would argue the majority 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:51.040 would at least feel some tug to raise their hand. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.280 But there are people, and you are probably like, this 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.760 doesn't matter what everyone else is doing. You don't care 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.120 about what the group says. If you have a vote, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:07.719 you're using it your way. The Democrat voter is a 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:15.120 herd animal, and herd animals they will do things that 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.640 can even be harmful to themselves, to their families, to 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.520 their communities in order to keep themselves as part of 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.440 the herd. This is not even something we're about to 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.320 discuss right now, but it goes perfectly along the lines. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.640 We're talking about. Jimmy Kimmel. He's that late night host 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.559 that's going to get fired next year. His wife cut 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.360 ties with Trump voting family. It's a headline from the 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:43.839 New York Post. She cut off her own family. Why, well, 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.599 she's part of the herd, and if the herd is 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.760 going a different direction than her mother, her father, her sister, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.200 her brother will she's got to go with the herd. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:59.960 Democrats are heard animals. You must understand that about them. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:05.440 They are heard animals. And so because they are heard animals, 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:10.600 should you find yourself yourself in position as a shepherd. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:15.520 If you will, you can guide that herd in many 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.520 many different ways and into many many different directions. You 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:24.320 know they're all going to stay together as group. Now, politics, 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.960 we just had an election last Tuesday, an election where 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.560 we didn't farewell. And of course, as we discussed, is 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.000 all kinds of different reasons here or there. But what's 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.080 one of the main reasons we didn't fare that well. 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.719 Republicans lost in places like Georgia, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:44.880 and Virginia. But why all of it? Not all of it? 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:50.960 Much of it comes down to simply motivation. Why? Why 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.400 are Democrats probably going to do well in the midterms, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.719 But normally the president of the United States, whatever political 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.440 party he's in, his party loses. There's a lot of 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:06.000 seats in the midterms. Why motivation. You're on the outs, 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.200 you don't have power, you're angry, you don't have to 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.640 be told to go get out there and vote. You 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.480 don't have to be told to tell friends and family. 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.640 You don't need any of that motivation. You're ticked off 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:27.640 and you're going motivation. Who's angrier? Now? For ten years? 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.440 Ten years? Think about how long that is. Where were 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.440 you ten years ago? What did you look like? I 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:38.880 still i'd hair? What were you doing for ten years? 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:46.480 The already programmable herd animals in the Democrat Party. Democrat 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:51.680 voters have been told over and over and over and 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:56.640 over again that Donald Trump is the sum of all fears. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.560 He is the devil, he is a Nazi, he is Hitler, 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.160 He's an authoritarian, he is you name it. And they've 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.240 said it over and over and over and over and 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.320 over and over again. And they've said it because it 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:15.720 has helped them motivate their voters. It just has they all. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.800 There's a reason the Democrat in your area, you know what? 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.160 Set aside national politics. I don't want you to think 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.000 about the House or Senate, and I want you to 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.120 think about Gavin Newsomber, Chuck Schumer. We'll get to them 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.200 in a minute. Have you heard a Democrat in your state, 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.920 maybe running for a state seat, a county seat, a 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.800 local seat in your town or city, have you heard 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.319 any Democrat running for office talk about fighting Trump or 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:46.400 standing up to Trump? Of course you have, In fact, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.400 that probably is the central theme. Well that's weird. Why 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.400 is the guy running for your local county board of 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.960 supervisors discussing fighting Trump when at no point is he 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.839 ever going to have any political power to fight Trump 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.360 or stop Trump in any way. If it's not true, 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.800 why would he run on it? Because he understands Donald 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:14.080 Trump's name motivates Democrats. The democrat in your life, the 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.760 liberal aunt pegy in your life, hates Donald Trump. I 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.640 know you already know this. I can see you nodding 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:24.679 your head. Hates Donald Trump in an unreasonable fashion. And 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.800 they can't even properly explain why. If you ever and 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.360 I've always encouraged you to do this, if you've ever 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.880 had a calm conversation with him and just started asking 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:40.880 probing questions, why I ain't Trump is an authought there? 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.719 Why the devil? He's a Nazi? Why what is? They 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.080 can't they can't even get the words out? Why can't 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.000 they lay it out in detail? If you ever asked 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.520 me to lay out in detail why I despise Joe Biden, 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.280 I would tell you how much time do you have? 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.760 And I could simply sit and explain all of it. Why, Well, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.760 they've never they were never taught the why. The why 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.480 doesn't matter. What they were taught and they believe it 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.360 in their bones is that Donald Trump is the end 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.839 of everything they care about. They have been thoroughly programmed 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:21.160 for ten years. That brings us to the shutdown and 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.480 the why and why it's ending. It is the Jesse 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.079 Kelly Show, Chris who told you from the music? Who 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:28.319 took you? 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:28.440 All? 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:28.720 Right? 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.520 Fine, Okay, there we go. Just a couple more seconds, 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.679 It's all I wanted, Just a couple more seconds on. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:38.480 A wonderful birthday, a marine court birthday, Happy birthday, Devil 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:43.079 dogs talking to you post well, not quite post government shutdown, 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.080 but we're about there. 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.120 Before we get into the wy I just kind of 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:47.840 gave you a little bit of background on that. I 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.720 wanted to let you know why the government isn't open 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:56.320 right now. Just a couple of things I know about 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.920 the Senate vote. There are all these rules that get 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.320 very convoluted and confusing. So don't worry if you don't 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.200 know all these rules. Even the people in the House 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.200 and Senate don't know all these friggin rules. They have 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.600 to have somebody who tells them. Here's the skinny of it. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.439 The Senate, Okay, Senate does what it does. The House 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.880 now has to do it as well. But they're not 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.600 all sitting there on the House floor at all times 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.960 waiting to have a vote. Whenever the time comes, there 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.080 has to be a certain amount of time the speaker 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.280 gives the members of the House to get back and 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.880 have the long story. It's going to be a day 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.640 or two, all right. I don't know exactly when they're 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.280 going to get everything through, but it's going to be 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:44.400 a day or two. Now, why the shutdown at all? 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:50.120 What is it? Well, this is the part on top 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.160 of what we already discussed. This is the part we 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:57.600 have to get. You can in various places, various ways, 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.800 not just in politics, for your sports team, for your business, 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.719 for your church, for your you can if you are 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:11.640 not careful, you can create a monster that you will 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.920 no longer be able to control. That old doctor Frankenstein's story. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.120 I always come back to it because it is so 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:26.679 incredibly true. Democrats have for a decade thrived on outraging 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:31.280 their base about Donald Trump, a decade. Okay, well, they've 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.360 lived high on the holme, they've won a lot of 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.240 seats on that it's it's done them very very well. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:47.720 But now they have demands. Now they have demands. Uh 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.960 pause on them for a moment. Let's let's make this 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:55.120 about you or about me. Let's talk about immigration, because 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.240 you know that's something that I'm hot on. I know 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.760 you're hot on. We need the mass deport of fifty 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.840 million foreigners to make your life more affordable, your country cleaner, safer, 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.520 better in every imaginable way. It has to happen, you know, 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:14.360 because you've learned over the years how many freaking foreigners, 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.240 en mass, we have welcomed into this country, to the 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:22.400 point that now the Somali clans are having voting wars 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.319 in Minneapolis depending on which clan you're from. That's your 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.720 chances of winning the primary. That's how bad immigration has gotten. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.920 All right. So you're you're already there, you got got it. 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.360 We're mad about immigration. I'm mad, You're mad. We're both mad, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:41.600 all right. Now. I'm a GOP politician. I'm a low 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.480 t weenie loser like James Langford, Republican Senator of Oklahoma. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.079 I come out and I say to you right now, Hey, guys, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.960 that's kind of how he talks. That's at least that's 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.760 what I hear. Hey, guys, you know what, I don't 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.679 want to deport anybody. In fact, I think we should 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.439 go get another five hundred thousand people from Somalia and 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.800 bring them in. Do I even have the option for that? 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.600 Amnesty loving losers like James Langford even he knows he 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:20.080 has to sell his amnesty bills as border security bills 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.440 because I'm already mad about immigration. You don't have an 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.720 option now as a senator. You have to serve me 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:32.600 in my interests, in my anger, in my fear at 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:37.080 some level. Well, take your anger at immigration and crank 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.480 the volume up on that up by about one thousand. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:45.400 And that's how angry the average Democrat voter is about 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.360 Donald Trump. Why is he there? He shouldn't be there. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.760 I don't understand. He should be in prison. We arrested 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.640 and we tried to kill him two times. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.040 Ah. 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.840 This is how these people think he shouldn't be there. 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:05.320 And now they are making demands of their representatives in 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:10.600 the House and their senators. You better stop Trump. I'm 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.560 telling you stop Trump. You told me you would stop Trump. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.040 You told me he's the devil. You told me he's 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.560 Adolf Kitler, and you ran for office and you told 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.400 me you would stop him. But here's the thing about 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.080 the way the House and the Senate works, Even if 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:31.600 you have the majority, it's really hard to get anything 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:36.080 actually done. Really by design. Think about this. We have 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.880 the House, we have the Senate, we have the presidency. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.560 How many bills have passed? I mean bills that you 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:47.240 would love or I would love. The best we've gotten. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.080 The best in a year has been what Trump called 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.600 the One Big Beautiful Bill, which was just really a 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.320 continuation of things with a little extra here and a 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:01.520 little extra there. With the House, Senate and Presidency, we 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:07.520 haven't gotten anything done, nothing, virtually nothing. When you're the 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:15.160 minority party, you you have nothing. Well I misspoke there. 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:20.560 You do have one thing, and only one thing. You 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.240 do have leverage. We need to do this while we 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:28.160 have the leverage. Of course, there will be you know, 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.160 families that are going to suffer, but it is one 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.760 of the few leverage times we have. You reopen the 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.680 government and we lose our leverage. There has to be 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.120 an agreement right now. That's what this whole shutdown is about. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.000 Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:49.760 Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage. 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.000 Leverage, leverage, But what leverage is that. We'll get to 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:56.400 that in a moment. Before we get to that. You 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.680 know what I did today? I went for a walk. 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.440 You know, that's my thing. I love walking. I walk 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:07.400 around my area. When I travel, I walk. I walk cities, 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.959 I walk mountains. I like to hike. I like to walk. 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.479 It's my thing. I don't run. I walk. And I 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.080 think I thought about it today. What if there's a 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.159 day when my knee hurts and I can't Is there 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:26.399 something physical you enjoy that you can't do anymore because 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:32.320 it hurts. Maybe it's pounds and nails. Maybe maybe it's walking, swimming, 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.920 playing pickleball. What if you could do it all over again? 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.440 Pain free relief factor can give that back to you 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:47.119 by taking the pain away, not temporarily, not masking it 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.280 for a couple hours, going to the root of the problem, 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:55.840 the inflammation. Take it every day. It will build up 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.480 in your system and the pain will disappear. One eight 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.280 hundred the number four relief or go to a relief 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.800 factor dot Com. We'll be back. It is the Jesse 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.399 Kelly Show. I almost forgot to mention I think I 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.520 got shot this weekend. I will explain, and well, hopefully 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.399 as soon as I'm done with this, I'm going to 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.960 explain exactly what happened. I'm not sure I got shot, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.639 but I do think I probably got shot. I'll explain 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.000 in just a little bit, Chris, let's finish up on 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:30.600 this government shutdown stuff. So Democrats have been radicalized. Their 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.240 base believes that Donald Trump is the end of all things. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.080 And now they have made demands of their members in 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:40.480 the House and their senators. They've made demands. They want you, 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.159 you have to do something, do something. Why won't you 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:48.239 stop Trump? Give me something? So Democrats are desperate to 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:54.280 give their people a win. This is generally a very 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:58.199 dangerous place to be in politics when you feel like 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.400 you have to give the people some kind of win 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.640 at some point in time. So what was the gamble. 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:10.679 The gamble was simple, use the leverage they had to 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:16.159 shut down the government and cause pain, the only leverage 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.240 you have when you're the minority party. Yeah, you can 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.119 stop this law or stop that law. But if you 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.920 actually want to get things given to you, you have 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:30.879 to be a terrorist? Is that too far? But you 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:36.719 essentially have to do that. No, we'll just make everybody miserable. 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.680 Sean Duffy said this, I think there's a Saturday answer question. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.359 It's a long going to get worse. I look to you, 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.240 the two weeks before Thanksgiving, you're going to see air 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.040 travel be reduced to a trickle. We have a number 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.920 of people who want to get home for the holidays, 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.120 They want to see their family, they want to celebrate 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.800 this great American holiday. Listen, many of them are not 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.679 going to be able to get on an airplane because 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.159 there are not going to be that many flights that 0:19:58.200 --> 0:19:59.760 fly if this thing doesn't open back up. 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:02.879 I had a flight canceled on Friday. I was supposed 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.560 to fly out, gone cancel it. People having their flights 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.920 get it. The only leverage Democrats had was to shut 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:16.240 down the country. So why did it take so long? 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:20.120 Angus King, he's one of the Democrats who actually voted 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.680 to reopen it, went on the news, said this, you have. 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.359 To go back to what the strategy was at the 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:26.760 beginning of the shutdown. There were two goals, both of 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.399 which I support. One was standing up to Donald Trump. 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.720 The other was getting some resolution on the ACA Premium 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.640 tax credit issue. The problem was the shutdown wasn't accomplishing 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.560 either goals, and there was practically well, there was zero 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.359 likelihood that it was going to In terms of standing 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.520 up to Donald Trump, the shutdown actually gave him more power, 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:51.639 exhibit A being what he's done with Snap and SNAP 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.040 benefits across the country. 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:54.880 Here was Senator Shaheen. 0:20:55.320 --> 0:21:00.320 Unfortunately, we've got after forty days, we've gotten, as you 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.080 pointed out, air traffic control. 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:02.840 That's a mess. 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.800 We've got government workers who are not getting paid. We've 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.639 got people who can't get food. We've got mothers and 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.919 children who can't get their WIG benefits, and so we 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:14.320 need to end that suffering. 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.440 Chicken is a very dangerous game. You know what chicken is? Right, 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.919 This goes back to movies like Rebel without a Cause. 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.199 That's an old James Dean movie, Chris, don't watch it. 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.159 It's really old and boring. But Rebel without a Cause. 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.240 But you know what chicken is. Two cars line up 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:38.720 facing each other, start driving towards each other, and the game, 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.680 if you can call it, that is who's going to 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:47.600 swerve first. But it is a dangerous game because you're 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.680 banking on the other guy swerving first, and if he's 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:58.320 not swerving, how long do you last before you swerve? 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:04.880 Is a dangerous game. Democrats, in their desperation to do 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:10.080 something to stop the Big Eagle notesee Donald Trump, Democrats 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:14.159 decided to play chicken, and they were banking on the 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:20.000 low t GOP doing what it has always done, caving 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:24.560 on something, even if it was something small. Give them 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:28.720 a little morsel, and they could call that little morsel 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.800 a win. And so I'm about to do something I 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.320 don't know if I've ever done on this show. Honestly, 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:39.919 I feel kind of icky even saying it, but I 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:45.560 have to give the GOP props. It doesn't look like 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:50.159 they're going to give up anything for this. I know 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.760 there's a promise of a future vote on something, but 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:56.639 not even not even a promise anything will pass. The 0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:04.159 GOP didn't blink, didn't swerve. Now here's the disaster for 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.240 some Democrats. And all you and I can do is 0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:09.560 sit back and enjoy watching the circus monkeys throw poop 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:15.080 at each other. Guys like Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:20.760 obviously the Senate minority leader, an enormously powerful man United 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.640 States senator, longtime senator from the state of New York. 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.360 But Chuck Schumer, as we've discussed, doesn't really believe in anything. 0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:30.840 He doesn't believe in Democrat politics or Republican politics. Are 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:36.840 is not a communist, but he has to pretend the 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:42.120 insane people have taken over his party. The Democrat base 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:46.920 is fully radicalized, violent and communists. Now. There are radical 0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:51.520 communists inside the House and Senate now, and Chuck Schumer's 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:56.640 hold on power is fading away. To put it mildly, 0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:03.879 Chuck Schumer couldn't afford to have the shutdown end. They're 0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:08.120 already on television calling for his head because it ends. 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.600 You think Chuck Schumer needs to go after tonight. 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.919 He should have gone a year, a week ago, a 0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:18.320 month ago, a year ago. Yes, yes, you talk about 0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:20.840 him and not meeting the moment right every time he 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.760 gets in front of the camera, the average Democratic voter 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:27.280 out there screams, be done with you, be done. 0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.359 And now let's focus on that. What he just said, 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:34.920 What does that mean? Meeting the moment? He's not meeting 0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:39.639 the moment. Far be it for me? To defend Chuck Schumer. 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:45.119 But what's he supposed to do if you've decided to 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:53.199 play chicken and they're not swerving, what's the plan? What 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:56.560 is the plan? What are you supposed to do? He 0:24:56.640 --> 0:25:00.800 had no options. His only option now is to pathetically 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:05.480 go on to the Senate floor and fake outrage as 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:09.879 he reads this speech, demon, I must vote no. 0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:16.040 This healthcare crisis is so severe, so urgent, so devastating 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:18.600 for families back home, that I cannot in good faith 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:24.720 support this cr that fails to address the healthcare crisis. 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:29.720 The American people know who is inflicting this healthcare trauma 0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:34.439 on them, Donald Trump and the Republicans. Health Care costs 0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.240 made a major impact on the twenty twenty five election, 0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:41.159 and they will certainly have an even greater impact on 0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:42.719 the twenty twenty sixth election. 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:46.080 Chuck Schumer is a man desperately trying to keep his 0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:50.080 seat in the Senate. He's desperately trying to stay minority leader. 0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.920 In case you're wondering what that does for you. While 0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:56.600 all United States senators are very powerful, there's no question 0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.440 about it. When Senator well, I just read her name, 0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:03.560 Senator or Shaheen, when she walks out of her office building. 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.240 She may have a staffer or two, but she actually 0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:08.679 has to walk over to her car and hop in 0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:12.760 her electric powered Kia and drive to whatever apartment she's in. 0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:16.120 When Chuck Schumer walks out of his office, he's flanked 0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.919 by armed security with the fleet of armored vehicles waiting 0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:23.120
