1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Howard Grounds, where generations of American heroes rest and eternal glory.

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: We gather to fulfill the sacred duty of every free

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: men and woman. On Veterans' Day, we honor those who

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: have worn the uniform, who have borne the battle, who

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: have stood to watch, whose ranks have formed a mighty

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: wall of flesh and blood, bravery and devotion that has

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: defended our freedom for two hundred and fifty years.

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 4: Sir, nice have you with us in the forty seven

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 4: Morning Update, And we've got one big story for you

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 4: this morning, and that is the government reopening.

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: So how is it going to work?

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: How long is there going to be chaos at America's

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 4: airports and the cancelation of flights at record numbers. When

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: will Americans get paid that work for our government. We've

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 4: got those answers for you, But first want to tell

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: you about our friends over Patriot Mobile. Every so long,

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 4: often something happens that reminds us just how fragile our

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 4: freedoms are. We can't afford to take our rights for granted.

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: We must draw a line in the sand and our

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: more than twelve years. The truth is there is only

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: one provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 4: who believe freedom is worth fighting for, and that company

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading the red economy,

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: they're also outpacing the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 4: one of the only carriers offering premium access to all

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: three major US networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: that you can count on day after day. They also

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup,

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: and so much more. And switching has never been easier.

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: You can activate in minutes on your phone from your

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: home or your office and you keep your same number.

Speaker 4: You now keep your same phone or upgrade to a

36
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: new one, and this is where the magic happens. Every month,

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: about five percent of your bill is given back to

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: conservative causes at no extra cost to you that stand

39

Speaker 4: rights of unborn children, and are wounded warriors and those

41

49
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: Story number one.

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: The government shutdown is over, sort of Democrats caving and

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: they are finally saying we can open the government again.

52
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: This is the longest government shut down in history. But

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: the real question is for many of you, is well,

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: when will things actually be reopen? How much chaos is

55
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: are going to be in the skies, When will people

56
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: start getting their paychecks? Maybe you or your family members

57
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: who have been furloughed in essence by our government. Well,

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: we have a lot of answers to those questions, and

59
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, called Republicans and

60
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: Democrats back to Washington to vote on the bill to

61
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: get the government back open. Hear all the details of

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: what Speaker Johnson had to say about moving forward, how

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: things are going to work.

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: Very thankful to see you all this morning.

65
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 6: I'm thankful to welcome you to what appears to be

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 6: the beginning of the end of the longest government shutdown

67
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 6: in US history. As shameful as that is, I don't

68
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 6: think it's coincidental, you know how I think. But it's

69
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 6: after forty days of wandering in the wilderness and making

70
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: the American peace people suffer needlessly, some Senate Democrats finally

71
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 6: have stepped forward to end the pain. It appears to

72
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 6: us this morning that our long national nightmare is finally

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 6: coming to an end, and we're grateful for that at

74
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 6: least some Democrats now finally appear ready to do what

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 6: Republicans and President Trump and millions of hard working American

76
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 6: people have been asking them to do for weeks. As

77
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 6: we said from the beginning, the people's government cannot be

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 6: held hostage to further anyone's political agenda. That was never right,

79
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 6: and shutting down the government never produces anything. It never

80
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 6: has if you study history, and so here we are.

81
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 6: I want to remind everybody this morning of another critical

82
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 6: point that you've heard me here repeat over and over

83
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 6: over the last several weeks. It's something that I and

84
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 6: Leader John Thune and President Trump and every Republican leader

85
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 6: have all said repeatedly from the beginning, we have always

86
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 6: been open to finding solutions to reduce the oppressive costs

87
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 6: of health care under the Unaffordable Care Act. We just

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 6: made clear that we would not and should not ever

89
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 6: do that that is negotiate as hostages. And I've also

90
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,119
Speaker 6: reminded you here every morning at this press conference. Throughout

91
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 6: the shutdown, Republicans have not just been talking about reducing

92
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 6: costs and fraud and abuse in so many areas and

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 6: in healthcare. We've been actually passing new laws to accomplish

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 6: that urgent mission for the people, and we will continue

95
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 6: to do so. So here's where we are by way

96
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 6: of schedule, just so you know you're following, if you're

97
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 6: not at home, if you're waking up to this good

98
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 6: news this morning that the Senate's vote last late last

99
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 6: night of.

100
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: Sixty to forty opens the door.

101
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 6: Now the Senate is moving forward on an amended House

102
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 6: cr continuing Resolution that will reopen the government until January thirtieth.

103
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 6: Added to that are provisions to fully fund snap provisions

104
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 6: through the end of the next fiscal year, which is

105
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 6: September twenty twenty six, guaranteed back pay for all federal

106
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 6: workers who have been made to endure these hardships over

107
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 6: the last several weeks. And it also includes passage of

108
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 6: three appropriations bills, which we're grateful to be.

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: Moving through the process.

110
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 6: That is the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs Bill, It's the

111
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 6: Agriculture Bill, and the Legislative Branch Bill. The Senate will

112
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 6: be back in session this morning to finish their job,

113
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 6: and we're certainly praying that they do. They'll need unanimous

114
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 6: consent from all senators to fast track their final vote.

115
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 6: As you know, there's some procedural hurdles that one or

116
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 6: more could throw in the way, but we certainly hope

117
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 6: that they won't do that because so many people across

118
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 6: this country are desperate for the government to reopen. At

119
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 6: the very moment that they do that final vote, I

120
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 6: will call all House members to return to Washington as

121
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 6: quickly as possible. We'll give a thirty six hour formal

122
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: and official notice, so that we can vote as soon

123
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 6: as possible to pass the amendedcy Our Bill and get

124
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: it to the President's desk. As you all know, and

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 6: he said as recently as last night, I was with

126
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 6: him and he told the press he said, we want

127
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 6: to get the government open. He's very anxious to get

128
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 6: the government reopened and to end the Schumer shutdown. All

129
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 6: are with regard to the travel challenges. I spoke yesterday

130
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 6: at some link with the Transportation Secretary of Sean Duffy,

131
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 6: my former colleague and good friend, and he lamented the

132
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 6: serious situation that we have with air travel in the US.

133
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 6: He's bent over backwards, as all members of the administration

134
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 6: and the Cabinet have done in all of their areas

135
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 6: of jurisdiction, to try to keep the government working for

136
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 6: the people and to mitigate the pain and the harm.

137
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 6: But the problem we have with air travel is that

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 6: our air traffic controllers are overworked and unpaid, and many

139
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 6: of them have called in sick. That's a very stressful job,

140
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 6: and even more stressful exponentially when they're having trouble providing

141
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 6: for their families. And so air travel has been grinded

142
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 6: to a halt in many places, and as of Sunday,

143
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 6: nearly half of all domestic flights and US flights were

144
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 6: either canceled or delayed.

145
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: And it's a very serious situation.

146
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 6: So I'm saying that by way of reminder, I'm stating

147
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 6: the obvious to all my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats in

148
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 6: the House.

149
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 5: You need to begin right now, returning to the Hill.

150
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: We have to do this as quickly as possible.

151
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 6: Now we look forward to the government reopening this week's

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 6: so Congress can get back can get back to our

153
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 6: a regular legislative session. We have a lot of business

154
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 6: to do, as you all know, and we will be

155
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 6: working in earnest will be There'll be long days and

156
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 6: long nights here for the foreseeable future to make up

157
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 6: for all this lost time that was imposed upon us.

158
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 6: I want to close with something that's important. I think

159
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 6: it's important to say that this is genuine. I mean

160
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: this sincerely. We applaud the seven Senate Democrats and one

161
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 6: independent Senator who did the right thing. They decided to

162
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: put principle over their their personal politics and and my

163
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 6: urgent plea of all my colleagues in the House, and

164
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: that means every Democrat in the House is to to think, carefully, pray,

165
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 6: and finally do the right thing and help us to

166
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 6: bring an end to the pain of the American people.

167
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 6: This has gone on too long. Too many people have

168
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 6: suffered and it's long overdue. And that's the update I

169
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 6: wanted to give you this morning. There are probably lots

170
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 6: of questions, but I'm going to get a lot of

171
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 6: my own questions answered later today, so stay tuned for more.

172
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 5: Thanks.

173
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: So there it is a Speaker of the House explaining

174
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: exactly how this is going to go down and how

175
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: quickly we could see things turn back to normal.

176
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: It's going to be a little chilly, but I will

177
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: do my duty.

178
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: I'm getting back to DC and we're going to open

179
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: this country back up and get it back on track.

180
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 4: That is another aspect of what has been said by

181
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 4: many Republicans are saying, hey, we've got thousands of flights

182
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: canceled in recent days to the shutdown. Some lawmakers opted

183
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: for the modes of translation to the Capitol like they're

184
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 4: actually driving. One Republican representative, Derek Van Orden, said he

185
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: was making the sixteen hour drive from his Wisconsin district

186
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: because air travel is just too unreliable.

187
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: And the Republican controlled House is.

188
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: Due to vote Wednesday afternoon on a compromise that would

189
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 4: restore funding the government agencies and into shutdown that start

190
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: on October one. The Republican controlled Senate approved the deal

191
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: Monday night. House Speaker Johnson said he expected to be

192
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 4: pass his chamber as well, and then President Donald Trump

193
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 4: has come out calling the deal very good. Expected to

194
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 4: obviously sign it into law immediately. Now, within days, the

195
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: US government could be fully functioning again, bring relief to

196
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 4: federal workers who have missed paychecks and low income families

197
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: who defend on food subsidies as well. It could take

198
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: several days. And this is the problem so many have

199
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 4: asked me about this. It could take several days for

200
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: the nation's air travel system to return to normal. The deal,

201
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: by the way, which has divided Democrats because they love

202
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: holding you hostage, had sought to extend healthcare substias for

203
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 4: twenty four million Americans past the end of the year

204
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: when they were due to expire. Now this also tells

205
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: you just how broken Obama here is that these types

206
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 4: of substas are actually needed.

207
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: Yesterday, it was very interesting on CNN.

208
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 4: One of the things that was said there on CNN

209
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: about the subsidies was that they were talking about like

210
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 4: how much they'd actually gone up, like how much the

211
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 4: subsetas had skyrocketed, And you just kind of have to laugh.

212
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: When you see that Anavar has said, quote, American healthcare

213
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: premiums are going up one hundred two hundred three hundred percent.

214
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 4: I thought Obamacare fixed that.

215
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: It didn't. It didn't fix it. It's a disaster.

216
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: It's going to be another thing that could easily bankrupt

217
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: this country.

218
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: You want to know why we're in so much debt right.

219
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: Now when you have premiums in Obamacare going up again.

220
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: I want to make sure I quote on Navarro correctly

221
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: one hundred two hundred three hundred percent.

222
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: Obamacare is an utter disaster.

223
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: It is a total disaster, and everyone knows it. By

224
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 4: the way, like this is not something that's hard to

225
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 4: figure out. It is very easy to understand that this

226
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: is going to bankrupt us. So there's going to have

227
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: to be reform with Obamacare. There's no way around it. Okay,

228
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: Like there's just no way around it. We have to

229
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: have major reform here, and if we don't, then it

230
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: will continue to be a political football and it will

231
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: continue to be a political disaster. And Democrats knew this.

232
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: I go back to what did it and Nancy Pelosi

233
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: say her words, not mine. We won't know what's in

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: the bill until we pass the bill, and that is

235
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: Obamacare summed up perfectly. We won't know what's in the

236
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: bill until we pass the bill, and so when we

237
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: pass the bill, we'll figure it out later. It's just

238
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 4: a big old government subsidy. That's all it is. It's

239
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: just a government subsidy. One other thing I want to

240
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: say about this government shutdown. I think it also tells

241
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: you just how bloated our government is. The majority of

242
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: americans lives have really not been affected at all by

243
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: the government shutdown. I think that's actually pretty incredible that

244
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 4: we think our government is just so important and in

245
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 4: reality it's really not. It's just not Our government has

246
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 4: gotten way too big, and our government should be a

247
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 4: lot smaller.

248
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: Than it actually is.

249
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: Right now, all right, don't forget share this show, Share
