1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: All right, So Donald Trump has come out and is 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: kind of swinging on an issue of our tariffs. There's 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: a lot of Americans are like, well, I don't know 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: if I like these tariffs. The media has been fighting 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: against own Trump on these tariffs and acting like it's 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: a disaster and it's costing you a bunch more money. 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 2: YadA, YadA, YadA. Now a lot of it's lies. 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: You remember the Democrats said early on with the tariffs 9 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: that they were gonna be empty shelves going into Christmas, 10 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: that you weren't gonna be able to find Christmas gifts. 11 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: You were gonna be finding basic goods and necesses if 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: you went to think place like Walmart. Like this is 13 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: what they actually said at the time. We know that 14 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: was a total lie. We know it was total crap, 15 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: and it was pathological and they knew it. These are 16 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: the same Democrats, by the way, that are holding Americans 17 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 1: hostages with snap benefits and held Americans for the last 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: forty days with the government shutdown. We're now coming out 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: of that shutdown. We'll have more about that in a moment. 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump and what he is now saying is 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: tells you two things about this country. Number one, just 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: how messed up our government is that people can't even 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: get their head around the idea of the government sending 24 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: you a check for two thousand dollars. Now, we send 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: money to the government if you work every month, right 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: like you get doctor. You pay your taxes quarterly, annually, 27 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: whatever however you do it. My point is, every day 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: when you go to work, you are paying taxes. It 29 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: may be deferred for a few weeks or months, but 30 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: you're going to pay every day. The majority of Americans 31 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: it worked three to four months a year just to 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: pay their taxes. So January, February, March into April, that's 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: just paying your taxes, which is shocking. So now you 34 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: fast forward to where we are with tariffs. We've got 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: a lot of money that's been collected in tariffs, and 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: the President says, you know what, maybe it's time to 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: return some of that money to the American people. Here's 38 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: the part that blows my mind on this, the fact 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: that there are so many Americans that just can't believe 40 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: the idea. And this is how much of an abusive 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: relationship we are all in with our federal government. That 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump saying this seems like it's crazy talk that 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: the president of the United States. Americans like, look, we 44 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: just collected a whole lot of money we weren't planning on, 45 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: and we're going to give it back to the American people. 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: And people are like, wait, wait, wait, huh, well, you 47 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: can't have that happen. 48 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: That can't happen. What do you mean? 49 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: And this is, by the way, what government should look like. 50 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: They should not be mandating so much money from us. 51 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: They should be spending our money wisely, and if there's 52 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: any left over, they shouldn't hold it for the next 53 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: Port Bret project. They should send it back to the people. 54 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Donald Trump is advocating for and 55 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: what he's saying right now. But first we want to 56 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: tell you about our friends over Patriot Mobile. Every so often, 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are. 58 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: We can't afford to take our rights for granted. We 59 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: must draw a line in the same and our friends 60 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for more 61 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: than twelve years.

For and that company is 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading the red economy, 65 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: they're also outpacing the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is 66 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: one of the only carriers offering premium access to all 67 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: three major US networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service 68 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: that you can count on day after day. They also 69 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup, 70 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: in so much more, and switching has never been easier. 71 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: You can activate in minutes on your phone from your 72 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: home or your office and you keep your same number. 73 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: You've got now keep your same phone or upgrade to 74 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: a new one.

I want you to listen, 87 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: and this is I think really important. Okay, I want 88 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: you to listen to Donald Trump in his own words 89 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: about this describing who will get this money and these 90 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: tear freebait checks for the American people, and why by 91 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: the way he believes it should be saying it's actually normal, 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: not abnormal. 93 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: Listen carefully. 94 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 3: Without tariffs, we would be this country would be in 95 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: such trouble as they were for many years. That's why 96 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: we owe thirty eight trillion dollars. And one of the 97 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 3: things we're going to do we're going to issue a 98 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: dividend to our middle income people and lower income people 99 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: of about two thousand dollars, and we're going to use 100 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: the remaining tariffs to lower our debt. We're going to 101 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: be lowering our debt, which is a national security thing. 102 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: So we were doing a lot of good work and 103 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: the numbers were reported so incorrectly. The real numbers are 104 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: trillions of dollars have been taken in or gotten in 105 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: terms of investment from the tariffs. And so if that 106 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: were ever reversed, it would be a disaster. Frankly, it 107 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 3: would be a national security problem for our country. And 108 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: nobody thinks it's going to be reversed. I think we 109 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: had a very good court case, as you know, it's 110 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: before the Supreme Court right now. But if that were 111 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: ever reversed, you know, people are saying, oh, it's a 112 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: billion dollars. Some people said, oh it's two billion. Well 113 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 3: that obviously we can handle very easily. But this is 114 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 3: trillions of dollars we're talking about terms of the tariff 115 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 3: income and all the investment income that's come into our country. 116 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: You know, we have Well let me just stop there, 117 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: and I want to just dissect what the President just said. 118 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: Everything that he said was going to happen when the 119 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: tariffs has happened. He said we were going to collect collect, 120 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 1: He said it hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars. 121 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: It's now in the trillions. That was unexpected money that 122 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: is coming in now. Notice he didn't say I'm going 123 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: to spend on port raow projects. No, No, He's like, 124 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: we should give the money back to the American people. 125 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: We should give a two thousand dollars tariff freebate check 126 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: to Americans that desperately need it. By the way, he 127 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: didn't say he's going to like reward the richest in 128 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: this country. And we can have a debate over should 129 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: they get their two thousand dollars back too, and in 130 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: a moment, but you remember this is all member all 131 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Democrats like, oh, Donald Trump only takes care of the rich. 132 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: It never takes care of the port. 133 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Well, he's sent in two thousand dollars to the poorest Americans, 134 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: not the richest Americans. So screw you for that lie. 135 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: And it's part of what you should share. By the way, 136 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: this is why I do this show, and I hope 137 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: that when I give you info like this, you share 138 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: the show, share the POW podcast wherever you can on 139 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: social media, because this is what the media is not 140 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: going to cover from what the President described. And not 141 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: only do we get literally a trillion plus dollars and 142 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: now it could be into the trillions that he wants 143 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: to give a lot of this back to the American people, 144 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: but he's also talking about there's another. 145 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: Aspect of this, and that is job creation. 146 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: When the President was doing these trade deals, one of 147 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: the things that he made clear is that you have 148 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: to invest in America. You have to invest in the 149 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: United States of America. You have to come here, you 150 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: have to do things here. You have to make sure 151 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: that we get something back from your country instead of 152 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: you just taking advantage of us as a nation. That 153 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: is extremely important. And so what we are seeing is 154 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: job creation in America. So not only are people literally 155 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: getting jobs, but then there's all businesses that are expanding 156 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: to service. These jobs are being created, these industries that 157 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: are being created by the President of the United States 158 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: of America. So this is twofold. It's not just one. 159 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: It's twofold. And it's truly, I mean incredible if you 160 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: think about it, it's unbelievable that we have a president 161 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: that said, A, We're going to do this right and 162 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: B we're going to give the money back to the 163 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: American be when we have a surplus. When was the 164 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: last time a politician did that. I want you to 165 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: actually think it's a real question. I want you to 166 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: think about. You know, I go back to the last 167 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: time we had something that that felt close to this. 168 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: It was the government program which ended up being a disaster. 169 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: It was cash for clunkers. Do you remember that? And 170 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: what happened is is a bunch of people turned in cars. Now, 171 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: really we found out what this was actually about was 172 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: they wanted to get rid of a bunch of gas 173 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: guzzling cars. They were evil, and so they want to 174 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: take them off the marketplace. And so that was the 175 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: liberals incentive for doing it. Consernatives like, all right, well, 176 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: let's do this cash for Conger's thing. We'll get people 177 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: a big rebate. It'll be super coomed by. Yeah, everybody's 178 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: gonna love it. YadA YadA, YadA. Right, what ended up 179 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: happening is it costs you a lot more money. You 180 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: may have gotten a rebate, but then you got screwed 181 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: when there was no used cars for sales, and it 182 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: actually hurt poor people. It was a bad program. It 183 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: was a disaster when you look at the data after 184 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: the fact. This one has nothing to do with anything 185 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: like that. This isn't any type of like voodoo economics. 186 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: This is just straight up we took in a bunch 187 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: of money and it's the American people's money. It's not 188 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: the government's money. It's American people's money. And we want 189 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: to give the money back to the American people. Now, 190 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: let me also go to the second aspect of what 191 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: Trump has said about this tariff success. Not only is 192 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: it the money we're gonna get back, but it's the 193 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: businesses in the infrastructure that's been built, creating American jobs 194 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: in this country. 195 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: Listen to Donald Trump in his own words. 196 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to back it up about ten seconds here 197 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: so you can hear what he said about that. 198 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: Take a listen carefully the president coming all. 199 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: The investment income that's come into our country. You know, 200 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: we have more than I would say right now, more 201 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 3: than eighteen trillion dollars. The biggest number ever is a 202 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: tiny fraction of that for any country, China, the United 203 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: States the biggest number of it. If you look at 204 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: the past administration Biden, he did less than a trillion 205 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 3: in four years. We're over eighteen trillion. By the time 206 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: my first year ends, we're gonna have over twenty trillion 207 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 3: dollars of investment coming into the United States. It's unheard of. 208 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 3: We have AI factories, We're leading China by a lot. 209 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 3: We have cars and you know, car plants coming in 210 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 3: by more than we've ever had built before. All of 211 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: that would go away if we lose the tariff case, 212 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: so all of it would go away, So they're not 213 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: giving the right numbers. There would be an economic disaster, 214 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: it would be a national security disaster if we lost 215 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: the case in the Supreme Court. 216 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: So the President talking about this going to the Supreme Court, 217 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: and you can hear the President there going back to 218 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: the core. I want two thousand dollars tear freebate checks 219 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: to go to Americans. I want more American jobs to 220 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: be created, more industries to be created, more national security 221 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: issues that it will be fixed, by the way, by 222 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: having many of these industries that we've relied to heavily 223 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: on our adversaries, foreign countries for And so the President's like, no, no, 224 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: Like this is how we're going. 225 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: To do this. 226 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: So let's just take a little bit of a recap 227 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: here so that you understand how all this got started. 228 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: Two days ago, are three days ago, November the ninth, 229 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: depending on when you're listening to this. Trump put it 230 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: out there on True Social This reminds me, by the way, 231 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: so much of when the President put out on True 232 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: Social note tax on tips and then it became a reality. 233 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: And this is where I love the President. He's a 234 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: practical guy who clearly believes his job is to help 235 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: you succeed, not to hold you back, and so he 236 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: says people that are against tariffs are fools. A dividend 237 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: of at least two thousand of person, not including high 238 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: income people, will be paid to everyone. He framed this 239 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: as a result of the large tear revenue his administration 240 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: is collecting, which democrats said was going to ruin our economy. 241 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: Was going to have empty shelves, no presents for your 242 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: kids for Christmas, and everything was going to be skyrocketing 243 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: and you couldn't afford anything, and Walmart was going to 244 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: be empty and target right, none of it happened. 245 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: They were pathological liars, he said. 246 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Quote we are now the richest, most respected country in 247 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: the world, with almost no inflation in a record stock 248 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: market price. He says the money would also be used 249 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: to pay down the national debt, which is thirty seven 250 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: trillion or more. 251 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 2: That's a problem. 252 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: In a most recent post, he clarified the first payments 253 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: would go to low and middle income US citizens, and 254 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: then remaining tear for revenue would go to substantial debt reduction. 255 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: So again, this isn't something that's going to help the rich. Okay, 256 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: but it's going to pay down our debt, and it's 257 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: going to and then a lot of rich people are 258 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: in favor of that, and it's going to go to 259 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: up low and middle income American citizens US citizens. Knows 260 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: he didn't say illegal immigrants, which Democrats love to give 261 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: money to. Now, the key details of this are obviously 262 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: another aspect of what Democrats are losing their mind over, right, 263 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: like what's the eligibility? 264 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Trump's words. 265 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: Trump says quote not including high income people, but he 266 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: has not specified what high income means, right, So Democrats say, well, 267 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: he might end up doing this. I look, if he 268 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: says it, I believe him. I doubt high income people 269 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: are gonna get the check. He called it a dividend 270 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: from the tariff revenue. His Treasury Secretary Scotts said he 271 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: has not discussed the plan with Trump and indicated that 272 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: the dividend could simply be tax cuts rather than a 273 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: direct check as they figure. 274 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: Out the deal. 275 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: Well, look, I don't care if it comes in two 276 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: thousand dollars check or it comes into two thousand dollars 277 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: rebate on my taxes. 278 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: I'm fine either way. 279 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: Now, the tariffs from which the revenue would flow under 280 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: legal challenge, right because the Democrats are freaking out. 281 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: They're going for the spreeing court on this now. 282 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: And that's why the present's warning, look at the tariffs 283 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: are struck down, revenue may be refunded. That would be 284 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: incredibly stupid. I don't believe that the Supreme Court is 285 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: going to do that. Democrats hate Trump so much that 286 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: they actually want to handback trillions of dollars to foreign countries. 287 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: Like you want to know whose side they're on, They're 288 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: not on your side now. According to the Treasury data 289 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: three September twenty twenty five, the US government has collected 290 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: about one hundred ninety five billion teriff related customs duties alone. 291 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: Analysts estimate that if the payments were two thousand per person, 292 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: for say one hundred and fifty million Americans adults earning 293 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: under hunter K, that would cost about three hundred billion, 294 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: and if children were included, even higher than that. 295 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: Now there's no indicasion kids are going to be included 296 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: in this. 297 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: We if more tariff money comes in, I don't actually 298 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: think the President would be against that, but he's probably 299 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: not going to add kids in there right away, because 300 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: we're not going to lose money on this deal. He's 301 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: going to say, here's what we've collected, let's give it 302 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: back to the American people. 303 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: We're not going to go in to more debt to 304 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: do this. 305 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: Now, if you look at even more conservative math, when 306 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: you count for the net revenue right tearf revenue offsetting taxes, 307 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: payroll reductions, then you're about one hundred billion. So this 308 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: program is clearly putting Americans first and saying we're not 309 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: sitting here trying to like. 310 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: Give you a little bit back. We want to give 311 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: it all to you back. 312 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: And Democrats are like, well, there's a shortfall here, right, 313 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: so it's not feasible. Again, I go back to the 314 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: president's words. President United States America is saying, I want 315 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: to give you the money. I want to give you 316 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: the money. And that's why Democrats are so mad over this. 317 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: That's why the media is so mad over this. They 318 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: don't believe that your money is your money. They believe 319 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: that the government is who should get all of your money. 320 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: They believe they should be in charge of all of it. 321 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: They think that a better stewards of it. This goes 322 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: back to what we just saw in New York City. 323 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: Mandani believes that everything in your life should be controlled 324 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: by the government, that the government should pick every single problem, 325 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: fix it, I should say, and that there's as he 326 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: described it, there's no problem that is, whether you say, 327 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: too small or too big for the government, like that's 328 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: what he believes. It's crazy. I mean, for me, it's 329 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: truly truly crazy that this is what they believe. And 330 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: so this is a grand divide. Do you want to 331 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: present the believes that your money is your money, that 332 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: your tax dollars are your tax dollars, and that if 333 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: the government gets back a lot of money, right, more money, Okay, 334 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: if the government gets back more money than they planned on, 335 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: then they should give it back to you or should 336 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: they keep it for some government program or hijack things 337 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: like a That's a very very very real difference in 338 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Now, I think 339 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: most Americans are going to love having a two thousand 340 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: dollars check show up or a two thousand dollars rebate 341 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: show up on their taxes. I think most Americans don't 342 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: care how you get the two thousand off as long 343 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: as it's two thousand off. Now if they add kids 344 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: into here, that would be totally insane, it would be incredible. 345 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: But I also think the president understands that we have 346 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: to pay down our debt at some point, and that's 347 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: a real issue. We've got to pay down our debt. 348 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: And so you give this to middle and lower class 349 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: individuals in this country, income earners, and then you move 350 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: on from there. 351 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: That's what you do. 352 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: You do it, and you move on and look for Democrats, 353 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: they hate empowering Americans. They absolutely despise having Americans succeed. 354 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: I've said this for a long time. Why is it 355 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: that Democrats despise American succeeding because when they do, they 356 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: don't have to depend on them, They don't own them 357 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: like modern day slaves. When Donald Trump was present the 358 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: first time, sixteen to twenty, you're the lowest unemployment rate 359 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: in history for African American men and women, Asian Americans 360 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: and Latinos in this country. And what did Democrats do? 361 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: They couldn't stand it because they would rather have people 362 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: living in poverty depending on them for their handouts or 363 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: government food stamps and going to the poles saying if 364 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: you don't vote for me, you might not get that 365 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: free housing check, or that free health care or those 366 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: or those groceries. What did Donald Trump want to do? 367 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: He said, I want you to succeed. I don't want 368 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: you to need the government. I don't want you to 369 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: live in poverty. He empowered people, and that's exactly what 370 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: he's doing this time as well. Sorry, I want to 371 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: move to the government shutdown update for you, so you 372 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: know where we are on that as of this moment. 373 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: And this is changing quickly, so depending on when you 374 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: listen to some of this may have changed. 375 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: Okay, number one. 376 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: The members of the House representatives have returned to Washington today, 377 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: braving the nation's tangled airports, for a vote that could 378 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: bring the longest US government shut down in history to 379 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: a close. The Speaker of the House, talking amid the 380 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: government shutdown, saying this about where we are and what 381 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: is happening. 382 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 4: Very thankful to see you all this morning. I'm thankful 383 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 4: to welcome you to what appears to be the beginning 384 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 4: of the end of the longest government shutdown in US history. 385 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 4: As shameful as that is, I don't think it's coincidental, 386 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: you know how I think. But it's after forty days 387 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 4: of wandering in the wilderness and making the American people 388 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 4: suffer needlessly, some Senate Democrats finally have stepped forward to 389 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 4: end the pain. It appears to us this morning that 390 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 4: our long national nightmare is finally coming to an end, 391 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 4: and we're grateful for that at least some Democrats now 392 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 4: finally appear ready to do what Republicans and President Trump 393 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 4: and millions of hard working American people have been asking 394 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 4: them to do for weeks. As we said from the beginning, 395 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 4: the people's government cannot be held hostage to further anyone's 396 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 4: political agenda. That was never right, and shutting down the 397 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 4: government never produces anything. It never has if you study history, 398 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 4: and so here we are. I want to remind everybody 399 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: this morning of another critical point that you've heard me 400 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 4: here repeat over and over over the last several weeks. 401 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 4: It's something that I and Leader John Thune, and President 402 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 4: Trump and every Republican leader have all said repeatedly from 403 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 4: the beginning. We have always been open to finding solutions 404 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 4: to reduce the oppressive costs of health care under the 405 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 4: Unaffordable Care Act. We just made clear that we would 406 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 4: not and should not ever do that. That is negotiate 407 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 4: as hostages. And I've also reminded you here every morning 408 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 4: at this press conference. Throughout the shutdown, Republicans have not 409 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 4: just been talking about reducing costs and fraud and abuse 410 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 4: in so many areas and in healthcare. We've been actually 411 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 4: passing new laws to accomplish that urgent mission for the people, 412 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 4: and we will continue to do so. So here's where 413 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 4: we are by way of schedule, just so you know 414 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 4: you're following if you're not at home, if you're waking 415 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 4: up to this good news this morning that the Senates 416 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 4: vote last late last night of sixty to forty opens 417 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: the door. Now the Senate is moving forward on an 418 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 4: amended House cr continuing resolution that will reopen the government 419 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 4: until January thirtieth. Added to that are provisions to fully 420 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 4: fund snap provisions through the end of the next fiscal year, 421 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 4: which is September twenty twenty six, guaranteed back pay for 422 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 4: all federal workers who have been made to endure these 423 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 4: hardships over the last several weeks. And it also includes 424 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 4: passage of three appropriations bills which we're grateful to be 425 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 4: moving through the process. That is the military construction Veterans 426 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 4: Affairs Bill, it's the Agriculture bill and the Legislative Branch bill. 427 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 4: The Senate will be back in session this morning to 428 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 4: finish their job, and we're certainly praying that they do. 429 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: They'll need unanimous consent from all Senators to fast track 430 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 4: their final vote. As you know, there's some procedural hurdles 431 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: that one or more could throw in the way, but 432 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 4: we certainly hope that they won't do that because so 433 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 4: many people across this country are desperate for the government 434 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 4: to reopen. At the very moment that they do that 435 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 4: final vote, I will call all House members to return 436 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 4: to Washington as quickly as possible. We'll give a thirty 437 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 4: six hour formal and official notice so that we can 438 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 4: vote as soon as possible to pass the amendedcy Our 439 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 4: Bill and get it to the President's desk. As you 440 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 4: all know, and he said as recently as last night, 441 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 4: I was with him and he told the press he said, 442 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 4: we want to get the government open. He's very anxious 443 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 4: to get the government reopened and to end the Schumer shutdown. 444 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 2: We all are. 445 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 4: With regard to the travel challenges, I spoke yesterday at 446 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 4: some link with the Transportation Secretary of Sean Duffy, my 447 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 4: former colleague and good friend, and he lamented the serious 448 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 4: situation that we have with air travel in the US. 449 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 4: He's bent over backwards, as all members of the administration 450 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 4: and the Cabinet have done in all of their areas 451 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 4: of jurisdiction, to try to keep the government working for 452 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 4: the people and to mitigate the pain and the harm. 453 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 4: But the problem we have with air travel is that 454 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 4: our air traffic controllers are overworked and unpaid, and many 455 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 4: of them have called in sick. That's a very stressful job, 456 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 4: and even more stressful exponentially when they're having trouble providing 457 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 4: for their families. And so air travel has been grinded 458 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 4: to a halt in many places, and as of Sunday, 459 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 4: nearly half of all domestic flights and US flights were 460 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 4: either canceled or delayed. And it's a very serious situation. So 461 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 4: I'm saying that by way of reminder, I'm stating the 462 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 4: obvious to all my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats in the House. 463 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 4: You need to begin right now, returning to the hill. 464 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 4: We have to do this as quickly as possible. Now 465 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 4: we look forward to the government reopening this week so 466 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 4: Congress can get back, can get back to our a 467 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 4: regular legislative session. We have a lot of business to do, 468 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 4: as you all know, and we will be working in 469 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 4: earnest will be There'll be long days and long nights 470 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 4: here for the foreseeable future, to make up for all 471 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 4: this lost time that was imposed upon us. I want 472 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 4: to I want to close and with something that's important. 473 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 4: I think it's important to say that this is genuine. 474 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 4: I mean this sincerely. We applaud the seven Senate Democrats 475 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 4: and one independent Senator who did the right thing. They 476 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 4: decided to put principle over their their personal politics and 477 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 4: my urgent plea of all my colleagues in the House, 478 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 4: and that means every Democrat in the House is to 479 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 4: to think, carefully, pray, and finally do the right thing 480 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 4: and help us to bring an end to the pain 481 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 4: of the American people. This has gone on too long, 482 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 4: too many people have suffered, and it's long overdue. And 483 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: that's the update I wanted to give you this morning. 484 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 4: There are probably lots of questions, but I'm going to 485 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 4: get a lot of my own questions answered later today, 486 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 4: so stay tuned for more. Thanks. 487 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: So there it is, the Speaker of the House, explaining 488 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: exactly how this is going to go down and how 489 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: quickly we could see things turn back to normal. 490 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 2: It's going to be a little chilly, but I will 491 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: do my duty. 492 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: I'm getting back to DC and we're going to open 493 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: this country back up and get it back on track. 494 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: That is another aspect of what has been said by 495 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,479 Speaker 1: many Republicans are saying, hey, we've got thousands of flights 496 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: canceled in recent days. 497 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 2: Do the shutdown. 498 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: Some lawmakers opted for the modes of translation to the 499 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: Capitol like they're actually driving. One Republican representative, Derek Van Orden, 500 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: said he was making the sixteen hour drive from his 501 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: Wisconsin district because air travel is just too unreliable. 502 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: And the Republican controlled House. 503 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: Is due to vote Wednesday afternoon on a compromise that 504 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: would restore funding the government agencies and into shutdown that 505 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: start on October one. The Republican controlled Senate approved the 506 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: deal Monday night. I'll Speaker Johnson said, expected to be 507 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: past his chamber as well, and then President Donald Trump 508 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: has come out calling the deal very good. He's expected 509 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: to obviously sign it into law immediately now within days. 510 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: The US government could be fully functioning again, bring relief 511 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: to federal workers who have missed paychecks and low income 512 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: families who defend on food subsidies as well. It could 513 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: take several days. And this is the problem so many've 514 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: asked me about this. It could take several days for 515 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: the nation's air travel system to return to normal. The deal, 516 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: by the way, which has divided Democrats because they love 517 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: holding you hostage, had sought to extend healthcare subsidies for 518 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: twenty four million Americans past the end of the year 519 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: when they were due to expire. Now, this also tells 520 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: you just how broken Obamacare is that these types of 521 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: subsidies are actually needed. 522 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: Yesterday, it was very interesting on CNN. 523 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: One of the things that was said there on CNN 524 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: about the subsidies was that they were talking about like 525 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: how much they'd actually got on up, like how much 526 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: the subseason had skyrocketed. And you just kind of have 527 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: to laugh when you see that. Anavar said, quote, American 528 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: healthcare premiums are going up one hundred, two hundred, three 529 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: hundred percent. I thought Obamacare fixed that. 530 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 2: It didn't. It didn't fix it. It's a disaster. 531 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: It's going to be another thing that could easily bankrupt 532 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: this country. You want to know why we're in so 533 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: much debt right now when you have premiums in Obamacare 534 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: going up again. I want to make sure I quote 535 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: on a Navarro correctly one hundred two hundred three hundred percent. 536 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: Obamacare is an utter disaster. It is a total disaster, 537 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: and everyone knows it. By the way, like this is 538 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: not something that's hard to figure out. It is very 539 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: easy to understand that this is going to bankrupt us. 540 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: So there's going to have to be reform with Obamacare. 541 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: There's no way around it. Okay, Like, there's just no 542 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: way around it. We have to have major reform here, 543 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: and if we don't, then it will continue to be 544 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: a political football and it will continue to be a 545 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: political disaster. And Democrats knew this. I go back to 546 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: what did Nancy Pelosi say? Her words, not mine. We 547 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: won't know what's in the bill until we pass the bill, 548 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: and that is Obamacare summed up perfectly. We won't know 549 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,479 Speaker 1: what's in the bill until we pass the bill, and 550 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: so when we pass the bill, we'll figure it out later. 551 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: It's just a big old government subsidy. That's all it is. 552 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: It's just a government subsidy. 553 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: One other thing I want to say about this government 554 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: shut down, I think it also tells you just how 555 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: bloated our government is. The majority of Americans' lives have 556 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: really not been affected at all by the government shutdown. 557 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: I think that's actually pretty incredible that we think our 558 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: government is just so important, and in reality it's really not. 559 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 1: It's just not Our government has gotten way too big, 560 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: and our government should be a lot smaller. 561 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 2: Than it actually is. 562 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: Right now, all right, don't forget share this show, share 563 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: the podcast wherever you can. We'll keep you updated on 564 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: the government shutdown. What's happening with the government shutdown, obviously, 565 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: is we're going to continue to see this move forward
