1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 2: Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 2: these people. 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: You've not got a free shot. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 3: All these networks lying about the people, the people have 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 3: had a belly full of it. 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: I know you don't like hearing that. I know you 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: tried to do everything in the world to stop that, 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: but you're not going to stop it. 10 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 4: It's going to happen. And where do people like that 11 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 4: go to share the big line? Mega media? 12 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 5: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 13 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 5: these people had a conscience. 14 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 15 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,959 Speaker 5: If that answer is to save my country, this country 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 5: will be saved. 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 4: War Room. Use your host, Stephen Kabas. 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, one October in the year of our Lord 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: You might ask why no cold open to day? 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: Why you're not getting our blood pressure up and having 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: spit out some of the warpath coffe would be so angry. Well, 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: we're going to get to all that. Just the structure 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: of the show today. The government officially shut. 25 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: Down at midnight last night. 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: I guess one minute after midnight or one second after midnight. 27 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 2: We're in a government shutdown. A lot Traditionally, a lot 28 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: of this has been kabuki theater, except when President Trump 29 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: shut it down at eighteen and then we shut it 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: down in twenty thirteen over Obamacare. So the two big times, 31 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: in fact, President Trump's in eighteen over the border wall, 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: over the over the Pelosi and Schumer adamantly refusing to 33 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: I think it was five billion dollars at the time, 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: had the longest government shut down in history. This is 35 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: different because there's kind of, I think a method to 36 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: President Trump's madness here and with Russ vote. Russ vote 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: is going up to the Hill today, I believe, to 38 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: walk through a place plan of taking on the administrative state. 39 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: During this period of shutdown, Schumer, who had essentially no 40 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: leverage and tried to bluff his way, I. 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: Believe, stepped on the rake. 42 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: And now you have a very energized Trump administration that 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: is going to do, hear, what they were limited structurally 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: from doing before. There's going to be a press conference 45 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill in a moment between with Majority Leader 46 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: Thune and the Speaker of the House, the Speaker of 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: the House Johnson to walk us through the update. 48 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: Dune has done something very smart. Last night. I had 49 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: a couple of votes. 50 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: Guess what, A couple of Democrats, or at least the 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: Democrat senator. One of the Democrat senators in Nevada voted 52 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: to keep the government open for the clean cr to 53 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: the twenty first November. And Angus King, who's an independent, 54 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: basically causes with the Democrats. He's really a Democrat who 55 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: to Gutlass to say I'm a Democrat, tries to convince 56 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: people in Mantie's independent. 57 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: Here's what we're going to do. 58 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: The presser has not started yet, and we're going to 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: When it starts, we're going to pick it up. Wade Miller, 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: who is the individual at CRA, the former marine at 61 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: CRA that RUSS vote has holding Ford Apache, is going 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: to be on here to walk us through the logic 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: of what RUSS vote is working on. We're going to 64 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: play a cold open and then I'll be right back. 65 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and play it. The press conference 66 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: will start here momentarily. I've got d Wade Miller. We 67 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: get a packed show this morning. 68 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead. 69 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 6: Let it rip near worth thousands of years of combat 70 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 6: experience collectively in that room. As someone who served yourself, 71 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 6: what were your takeaways tonight? 72 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 7: Well, it's one of the more bizarre, unsettling national security 73 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 7: events I've ever encountered. The pregement sounded incoherent, exhausted, rapidly 74 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 7: cartisan who speaking to a political institution under the. 75 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 8: Laws of the US. 76 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 7: The Secretary of Defense gave a rambo lecture to an 77 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 7: audience that had been in war for twenty years by 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 7: a lot of these men and women have daughters and 79 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 7: sons who served in combat and were killed or wounded, 80 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 7: and then finding I think Secretary of Defense basically looked 81 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 7: at an audience of it was not just a senior commanders, 82 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 7: it was a senior enlisted command s, gardant majors, maybe 83 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 7: petty officers, and said, those of you who are a 84 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 7: minority or women probably got to where you were as 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 7: a DEEI choice as opposed to on merit. 86 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 8: Nothing could be farther from the truth. This is the most. 87 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 7: Lethal, disciplined, effective, well trained. 88 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to restart the cold open after the 89 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: press conference. Let's go down to Capitol Hill. Speaker of 90 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: the House of Mike Johnson. 91 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 9: At this capital each and every day, but today that's 92 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,119 Speaker 9: not going to be the case. 93 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 4: Today. America's boys and girls will walk up to. 94 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 9: These doors and they'll see something different, a sign that 95 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 9: says closed until further notice. And that's because at midnight, 96 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 9: the Democrats follow through on their threat to shut. 97 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: Down the United States government. 98 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 9: As we speak here this morning, there are hundreds of 99 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 9: thousands of federal workers who are getting their furlough notices. 100 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 9: Nearly half of our civilian workforce is being sent home. 101 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 9: These are hard working Americans who work for our federal government. 102 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 9: Our troops and our border patrol agents will have to 103 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 9: go to work, but they'll be working without pay. Food assistance, 104 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 9: veterans benefits, and vital support for women and children are. 105 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: All coming to a halt now. 106 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 9: Thankfully, President Trump is trying to mitigate the damage as 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 9: much as possible. His administration is working to limit the 108 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 9: harm to the American people. But the longer this goes on, 109 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 9: the more pain will be inflicted, because it is inevitable 110 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 9: when the government shuts down. The sad thing about it 111 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 9: is that every single bit of this was entirely avoidable. 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 9: Democrats could have worked with us in a bi partisan 113 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 9: manner to avert this unnecessary and very harmful shutdown. 114 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: But instead they did something that is rather shocking to us. 115 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 9: They prioritized taxpayer funded benefits for illegal aliens over keeping 116 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 9: the government open for American citizens. They themselves position that 117 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 9: as a binary choice, and it's patently absurd. Listen to 118 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 9: what the Democrats are demanding. They demanded in exchange for 119 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 9: our simple, clean, twenty four page bipartisan continued resolution, the 120 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 9: same one that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats voted for. 121 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 4: Just a few months back in March. 122 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 9: In exchange for that, they rejected it, and they demanded 123 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 9: something else. They wanted us to add over one point 124 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 9: five trillion dollars in new federal spending, paid for, of course, 125 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 9: by hardworking American taxpayers, simply were funding the government at 126 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 9: current Biden level spending levels. We are not going to 127 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 9: do that. We can't do that, we won't do it. 128 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 9: Almost two weeks ago, the House did our job. In 129 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 9: the House, we passed a common sense, non partisan bill 130 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 9: to keep the government open. 131 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: Republicans did our job. 132 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 9: We had one Democrat join us there, so it was bipartisan, 133 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 9: but every other Democrat in the House voted to shut 134 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 9: the government down. And last night, forty four Democrats in 135 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 9: the Senate did the same thing. 136 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: This is a clean resolution. 137 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 9: It would simply buy Congress a few more weeks, seven 138 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 9: weeks to finish the job. Why do we need that 139 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 9: time so that appropriators in both parties can finish their work. 140 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: They've been restoring regular order. 141 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 9: They've passed twelve separate bills out of committee in the House, 142 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 9: and the Senate has done its work as well. Three 143 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 9: bills of the twelve passed in each chamber. They don't 144 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 9: line up exactly, so there's a conference committee constituted, the 145 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 9: first time in years that that's happened. We just need 146 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 9: more time because we ran out of clock the end 147 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 9: of the fiscal year September thirty. 148 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: This is very important to note. 149 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 9: Democrats themselves have voted to pass a clean bipartisan cr 150 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 9: just like this thirteen times in the last few years, 151 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 9: during the four years of the Biden administration. Thirteen times 152 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 9: this happened. Republicans did the responsible thing even when we 153 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 9: were in the minority, to keep the government open, and 154 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 9: today should be no different. 155 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 4: There is nothing new in this legislation. 156 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 9: There's no poison pill, there's no partisan tricks, there's no 157 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 9: gimmicks whatsoever. The only difference today is the man who 158 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 9: is sitting in the Oval Office. Rather than work with 159 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 9: President Trump and Republicans to get this job done, as 160 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 9: our party has done repeatedly in the same situation over 161 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 9: the years, Democrats want to play political games with the 162 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 9: lives and the livelihoods of Americans. The simple truth is 163 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 9: Democrats in Congress have dragged our country into another reckless 164 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 9: shutdown to satisfy their far left base. 165 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 4: That is the truth. 166 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 9: Whether or not the government remains open or reopens is 167 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 9: entirely up to them. There's still time for Democrats to 168 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 9: pass this clean, bipartisan bill that's sitting before them, and 169 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 9: we encourage our Democrat colleagues to do that. I certainly 170 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 9: pray they'll come to their senses soon do the right 171 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 9: and responsible thing. The reason they will have one more 172 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 9: opportunity today is because of the sound leadership is being 173 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 9: provided in the US Senate by our colleagues who are 174 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 9: standing here with us. This is a joint press conference, 175 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 9: as you know, between the leadership Republican leadership in the 176 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 9: House and the Senate. And I'm delighted to yield to 177 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 9: my good friend and an extraordinary leader in the Senate 178 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 9: Leader John Thune. 179 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 4: All right, well, thank. 180 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 10: You, mister Speaker, and our House colleagues were doing the work. 181 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 10: You sent us a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, we are 182 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 10: here this morning in a government shutdown that Democrats wanted. 183 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 10: Chuck Schumer, at the behest of a bunch of liberal 184 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 10: far left activist groups, has walked his Democrat colleagues into 185 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 10: a boxed canyon. There's no way out, folks, there's no 186 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 10: way out. This could have been avoided. It's totally unavoidable. 187 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 10: And everybody's now asking the question, how does this end? 188 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,359 Speaker 4: Well, it ends when the Senate. 189 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 10: Democrats pick this bill up passed by the House of 190 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 10: Representatives and vote for it. 191 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 4: It's on the floor of the Senate. 192 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 10: We're going to vote later this morning on this twenty 193 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 10: four pages. Does this look partisan? Does this look dirty 194 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 10: to you? Twenty four pages to fund the government? Nothing more, 195 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 10: nothing less, nothing else. The House kept it simple, We 196 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 10: kept it simple in the Senate. This is something, as 197 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 10: the Speaker noted, that thirteen times in the past Senate 198 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 10: Democrats have done when they were in the majority and 199 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 10: Joe Biden was in the White House. This is a 200 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 10: very straightforward issue. It's not complicated they want it to end. 201 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 10: Vote with us to open up the government by voting 202 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 10: this out of the Senate today, putting it on President 203 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,359 Speaker 10: Trump's desk, and he will sign into the law. President, House, Republican, Senate, Republicans, 204 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 10: We're all united on this. And what's interesting now is 205 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 10: some of the Democrats are joining us. Our vote last 206 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 10: night was a bipartisan vote. There were three Democrats that 207 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 10: came over and voted with us because they know this 208 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 10: strategy is a losing one and it hurts the American people. 209 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 10: It's not about who wins or who loses, or who 210 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 10: gets blamed in all this. 211 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 4: It's about the American people. 212 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 10: And they have taken the American people hostage in a 213 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 10: way that they think benefits them politically, but at the consequence, 214 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 10: at the cost of what's going to happen to the 215 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 10: American families that this government shut down continues. So I'm 216 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 10: glad to be here with our Democrat or our Republican colleagues. 217 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 10: Our Democrat colleagues in the House have been around here 218 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 10: the last few days, I guess, flailing around celebrating, celebrating 219 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 10: the fact that they voted to shut down the government. 220 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 4: How ironic. Listen all end today, folks. It needs to 221 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 4: end today. 222 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 10: We will continue to work together with our House counterparts, 223 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 10: with the President of the United States to get this 224 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 10: government open again on behalf of the American people. 225 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: Next up is there, he is the leader. 226 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 3: Thank you, Leader Thune. Today marks day one of the 227 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 3: Schumer shutdown. As Speaker Johnson pointed out, this didn't need 228 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 3: to happen. House Republicans came together weeks ago to prevent 229 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: a government shutdown. We brought as straightforward of a bill 230 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 3: as you can have to say, let's allow government to 231 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 3: be funded for another two months while we negotiate our differences. 232 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: Clearly we have differences with Democrats right now. One of 233 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 3: the Democrat leaders confirmed yesterday that Democrats shut the government 234 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: down to fund healthcare for illegal aliens. That is no 235 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 3: way to hold the American people hostage over some far 236 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: left demand. You know, we had an election in November 237 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: where the country came together and said, let's send to 238 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: Washington leaders who want to solve problems and get our 239 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 3: country back on track. And we've been working feverishly to 240 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: do that, to get this country back on track, to 241 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: get the economy move in, the lower inflation, the lower 242 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: interest rates, and Democrats, just to appease their far left 243 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: radical base, have been voting no every step of the way. Well, 244 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 3: today it has consequences because when it came Jeffries whipped 245 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: every Democrat to vote no and shut the government down. Luckily, 246 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: in the House, we only needed a majority vote. We 247 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: were able to come together and do the right thing 248 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 3: and get that bill over to the Senate. But as 249 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 3: everybody knows, in the Senate, you also need Democrats to 250 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: come together with Republicans to get sixty votes. And so 251 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: when Chuck Schumer made such a fatally flawed decision to 252 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: shut the government down, ultimately, the American people, I think, 253 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 3: are going to get involved in demand that Chuck Schumer 254 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 3: reverse course because it's not sustainable. 255 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 4: The American people do. 256 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: Not want to be held hostage to Chuck Schumer's radical 257 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: demands to funding legal health care and oh, by the way, 258 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 3: to cut and cut fifty billion dollars out of rural hospitals. 259 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 3: That's in the bill that Chuck Schumer filed us his alternative. 260 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: That's outrageous. You want to talk about a partisan demand 261 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: to hold the American people hostage, that's what Chuck Schumer's done. 262 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 4: We have a bill that is clean, that. 263 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: Just keeps these negotiations going for another two months while 264 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: the government stays open. 265 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 4: And all Chuck Schumer needs to do is get over. 266 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 3: The tantrum that he's having with the results of the 267 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: election from November and vote yes to keep the government open. 268 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: Here ready to get the job done. Schumer needs to 269 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 3: end this shutdown and finally join with us and let's 270 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: start real negotiations without holding the American people hostage. With that, 271 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 3: I want to bring up my friend, the Whip of 272 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 3: the Senate, Whip Rassom. 273 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: Thanks. 274 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 11: Well, today we're in the middle of the Schumer shutdown. 275 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 4: The Democrats have caved in. 276 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 11: To the radical wing of the Democrat Party, caved in 277 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 11: completely abandoned the American people in the process. And why Well, 278 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 11: one of the reasons is Chuck Schumer wants to try 279 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 11: to prove to somebody that he's more liberal than AOC. 280 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 11: Yesterday in the Senate floor, the crack started to appear 281 00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 11: in the Democrat base. Three Democrats voted with the Republicans to. 282 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 4: Prevent a shutdown. 283 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 11: And why because they know the American people are hurt 284 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 11: when the government shuts down. 285 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 4: We hurt our military who may be without pay. We 286 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 4: hurt our veterans who may not get healthcare. 287 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 11: Today, the Senate is going to vote again and give 288 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 11: the Democrats an opportunity to open the government by passing 289 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 11: the continuing resolution to give us seven weeks to do 290 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 11: the appropriations process to. 291 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 4: Get the government open again. 292 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 11: That's what the American people want, is what the American 293 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 11: people deserve. And today we'll see how many Democrats vote 294 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 11: with us to end the Schumer shut down. 295 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 4: And now the. 296 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 11: Whip of the House of Representatives, Tom Emmer, A. 297 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 12: Government shutdown serves no one. Government shutdowns unleash chaos on 298 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 12: federal war, delay pay for service members, and we can 299 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 12: our position on the global stage to hold these people 300 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 12: hostage instead of just letting them do their jobs. 301 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: Okay, you see the messaging the Schumer shut down. Here's 302 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: what Schumer is doing this, and here's the reason. Because 303 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: it is a clean cr As you know, I don't 304 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: have to tell you. You hate that, you hate continue resolutions. 305 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 2: You're prepared to do it because they got to keep 306 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 2: quote unquote negotiating. 307 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: Now, as was it, Andy Biggs. 308 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: We talked to the other day, You're going to have 309 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 2: a worse calamity come November because we're going to try 310 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: to force through an OMDBUS. They I always just got 311 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 2: to get this done for a year or ear long 312 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: cr So the worst is still in front of us. 313 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: But because the single subject appropriations, everything we worked for 314 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: was not done, and a lot of fingers can be pointed, 315 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: including at the Speaker of the House and other people. 316 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: We kind of are where we are. 317 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 2: But the Democrats of I think, walked themselves into a trap. 318 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: And why they walk themselves into a trap because please notice, 319 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna tie a couple of things together here. This 320 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: is because Schumer and the guy and the folks that 321 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 2: voted gave him the ten votes or the seven votes 322 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 2: in March to keep the government open came under such 323 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: huge pressure because the Democratic Party has kind of lost reason. 324 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: Now it's it's not Orange Man bad anymore. There's like 325 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: a psychotic reaction to Trump. And this goes back to 326 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: the escalating violence of the left, whether it's Manginie or 327 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: the alleged shooter in Utah, or that some of the 328 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: talking hearing come out of New York City Mandami and 329 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: his dominance of this New York City race, and really 330 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: the crushing of Cuomo in the more traditional progressive part 331 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party has all these guys an alert. 332 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: Schumer's concerned about one thing, Chuck Schumer's political life because 333 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: without being a US Senator, he's nothing because you can 334 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: tell he's a guy of limited intelligence and limited talent. 335 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: He's being pressed by AOC to his left. If she 336 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 2: decides not to run for president, which has folks that 337 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: is on the table and they're thinking about it, she'll 338 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: run for the United States Senate and she would open 339 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: a can of whoop ass on Schumer in a primary. 340 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 2: And he knows that. That's why he's got to be 341 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: a tough guy here. But they stepped on the rake. 342 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 2: Here's why they stepped on the rake. President Trump has 343 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 2: a plan, and that plan, his architect of that and 344 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: the executioner of that is the great Russ Vote, who 345 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: has worked on this for eight years. And as you know, 346 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 2: given he was a big contributor to show in twenty 347 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: two when he came out and gave his first cra budget, 348 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: he talked about how to get into a balanced budget. 349 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: I think in four or five years he talked about 350 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: taking a part deconstructing the administrative state. Russ has a 351 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: plan right now, I think to be very One of 352 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: the plans is to be very aggressive on deconstruction in 353 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 2: the ministrative state during this shutdown. And so it's going 354 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: to play right into it's going to play right into 355 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: the hands of MAGA, who want to make sure that 356 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 2: we can UH. You know, we're not anarchists, but we 357 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 2: want to take we want to take UH have as 358 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: a limited government as we possibly have with the regulatory 359 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: apparatuses that you need. Russ Vote has that plan and 360 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 2: he's prepared to execute it and fight it in court 361 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: if the Democrats want to do this. So this is 362 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 2: where we stand right now. The Democrats understand they're kind 363 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 2: of cornered. There's no real off rand for them. Particularly 364 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: last night, this was huge when the senator from when 365 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: the senator from the Democrats, senator from Nevada voted with 366 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: the Republicans and Angus King. 367 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: That's two votes. 368 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: That This is why Thune can stand up there today 369 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 2: and say, well, this is a bipartisan. This is bipartisan, 370 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: and they will continue to vote every couple hours. Dune's 371 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: going to put him on the UH is going to 372 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: put him on the on the on the griddle UH 373 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 2: today That's why I believe that Russ votes plan which 374 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: he's going up to the hill. I think to walk 375 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: people through, not looking for sign off. I don't believe 376 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 2: the President of States is looking for sign off, but 377 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: he's he's clearly looking for. 378 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: To let them know that they're. 379 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 8: In the loop. 380 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: Okay, I think that's the way you say it is. 381 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 8: Wade. 382 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: Do we have Wade yet? Okay, we're trying to try 383 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: to get Wade Miller in a moment. Wade is over 384 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: at c r A and is very familiar with the 385 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: details of this plan. Let's go ahead and play the 386 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: let's play because we've got to move the show along. 387 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: Let's go and play the cold open, and we're gonna 388 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: get Wade Miller. 389 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 8: Here. 390 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: We got We're jam packed it there on Capitol Hill. 391 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: They're up there. It's all messaging. 392 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: If you heard, if you heard, if you heard Speaker 393 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: Johnson in Thune, you got the You get the point 394 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: of what we're doing and how we're driving this thing. 395 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 2: It's a Schumer shutdown, but there's a lot to do, 396 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: and this can be to our advantage. I'm a huge 397 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 2: believer in these government shutdowns because number one, you do 398 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: lots of reconstruction number two. It's been a winner for 399 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: us in thirteen, and it was a winner for us 400 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 2: in eighteen. By the way, we had a huge win 401 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 2: in the midterms in fourteen, and we picked up a fourteen. 402 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: Total seats in the House in the stolen lection. 403 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, I think a net twelve, which is 404 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 2: extraordinary given the stole the presidency from President Trump. 405 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and play the cold open. We'll 406 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: bring in We're going to bring a wayde. 407 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 13: Miller estimate for us. Give us some ballpark numbers here. 408 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 13: We've already had some sizeable reductions in force. Actually, there's 409 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 13: a number three hundred thousand floating around for this calendar year. 410 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 13: That may or may not be the right number, but 411 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 13: that number is floating around now. If there's a budget shutdown, 412 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 13: as our own chat program suggested almost intellectably, will be 413 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 13: a budget shutdown, then you have the authority to reduce 414 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 13: the federal employee count by roughly how much. 415 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to let let those kinds of questions 416 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: extend until tomorrow in the days after. Right now, where 417 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 5: we are, we have hours to go before a government shutdown, 418 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 5: and it can be avoided and then we'll get in tomorrow. 419 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 8: The preparation is all done. 420 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 5: We have many options, but we're going to get in 421 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 5: tomorrow and see where we are, and we're going to 422 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 5: manage this shutdown and try to keep the American people 423 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 5: from the havoc that the Democrats have caused on with 424 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 5: their crazy demands. But let it be said, there are 425 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 5: all manner of authorities to be able to keep this 426 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 5: administration's policy agenda moving forward, and that includes reducing the 427 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 5: size and scope of the federal government, and we will 428 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 5: be looking for the opportunities to do that. 429 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 13: And you've made that very clear to mister Schumer. It 430 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 13: doesn't seem to move him Russ vote. That's what I 431 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 13: don't understand. It will be worse. I mean, if I 432 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 13: were he, and I'm most certainly not, But if I 433 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 13: were he, I would want to continuing resolution and discuss 434 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 13: all this stuff. I wouldn't want to hand the circular 435 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 13: over to you. And he'll have to take some measures 436 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 13: that he's not going to like one darn bit. 437 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 4: Well. 438 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 5: I think he's got some time over the next several 439 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 5: hours to come back from the brink to work with 440 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 5: his moderates to get a continuing resolution passed. 441 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: We'll see how these votes. 442 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 8: Come up, and then we'll see where. 443 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 5: We are in the morning. 444 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 14: What am I going to say if I'm asked to 445 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 14: go on the street and conduct illegal actions, and I 446 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 14: guarantee you that the people in that audience will not 447 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 14: execute illegal orders. 448 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 8: We've been saying that for a long time. 449 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 14: But at the same time, all of them not only 450 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 14: were they personally embarrassed. 451 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 8: But they were embarrassed for their services. 452 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 14: That had you sit in that audience and listen to 453 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 14: this kind of stuff. 454 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 8: That's the you know, the worst part of all this. 455 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 14: You know, there's a saying in the military that's a 456 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 14: great leadership victim, you praise in public and you discipline 457 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 14: in private. This was a disciplineary approach in public with 458 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 14: cameras so the whole nation could see. 459 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 8: And it was an attempt at at. 460 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 14: Separating the military institution from the people that they defend. 461 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 8: And I don't think it worked very well. 462 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 14: But I'm sure there's a lot of people qushing what 463 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 14: the military will do next. 464 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 8: I'm sure of what they will do next. 465 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 14: They will make sure they don't follow illegal orders and 466 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 14: maintain their job. 467 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 6: Yesterday with Dave Klaumias Simpleton. Republicans do have a lot 468 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 6: to lose. The midterms are around the. 469 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 15: Corner, right, but their memory again of twenty thirteen is 470 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 15: that there was a shutdown. It lasted a while, while 471 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 15: it was pretty painful. They won the twenty fourteen midterm. 472 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 15: In twenty twenty eighteen, after the midterm, there was a 473 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 15: shutdown over border funding. Trump lost in twenty twenty, but 474 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 15: Republicans gained ground in the House. That's not remembered by 475 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 15: Republicans as a failure. That's another reason we've been just 476 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 15: piling up moral hazards and reasons that members of Congress 477 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 15: are not worried about the long term politics of this. 478 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 4: They're really not. The Only thing that's new compared. 479 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 15: To the last shuts I talked to is we've got elections. 480 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 4: In Virginia, New Jersey in a couple of weeks. 481 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 15: And Republicans I talked to said would rather the issues 482 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 15: there be about the culture and schools and agenda policies 483 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 15: than a government shutdown, because we think that's a better 484 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 15: issue for Democrats. 485 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 4: But that's pretty minor. 486 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 16: President Trump has said, you know, he could use this 487 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 16: as an opportunity to further cut government and turn some 488 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 16: of those temporary furloughs into permanent job cuts. Speaker, can 489 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 16: you assess what you're expecting in terms of the job 490 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 16: cuts and how severe they could be. 491 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 9: Yes, The President and I've talked about this at great length. 492 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 9: While a shutdown is very damaging for real American people 493 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 9: who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity 494 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 9: to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which 495 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 9: is something that we've all always wanted to do. And 496 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 9: so in a way, Chuck Schumer has now handed the 497 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 9: keys to the kingdom to the executive branch under President 498 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 9: Trump to do some things that we would not otherwise 499 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 9: be able to do because we would never get Democrat 500 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 9: votes for them. Now, Russ Vote is in charge, as 501 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 9: you know, of the Office of Management and Budget, and 502 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 9: it is his responsibility to look at all of this 503 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 9: and make. 504 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 4: Very difficult choices. 505 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 9: He gets to decide now what services are essential, what 506 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 9: programs and policies should be continued in, which would not 507 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 9: be a priority for taxpayers. That is what is about 508 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 9: to happen, and Chuck Schumer has allowed that, and so 509 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 9: from his political perspective, it's a pretty massive backfire and 510 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 9: there's a real opportunity for government to work more efficiently 511 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 9: and effectively for the people that those decisions are made. 512 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 2: Okay, so this is where we stand. The wayde Miller 513 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: is going to join us from or take a short 514 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: commercial break. 515 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: In a minute. 516 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: Gold breached thirty nine hundred dollars earlier today. What do 517 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: we tell you yet? And we also told you it's 518 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 2: not the price of gold. We don't focus on the 519 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 2: price of goal. It's the process of what drives value 520 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: in gold and why people look to it as a hedge. 521 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: Very important. 522 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 2: One of the things of this audience is understand capital 523 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: markets deficits, because at the end of the day, this 524 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 2: shutdown is going to get back to as we roll 525 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: into November, it's going to get into a very unappetizing 526 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 2: set of alternatives. 527 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen what the. 528 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: Deficit was at midnight last night. I'll double check, but look, 529 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: it's roughly two trillion dollars. So as we told you, 530 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: it's going to be. And remember we're still when you 531 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: talk about these crs, you're still dealing with Biden and 532 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: Pelosi numbers. 533 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: How does that make you feel? Not great? 534 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: Well, this is the reason that the Congress which I 535 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: think I'll start calling the Duma because they got a 536 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: budget as much power as the Duma had back in 537 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 2: pre revolutionary Russia. Right, they've been unable to address the 538 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: situation on spending. 539 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: They're just not going to do it. They're going to 540 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: continue to tap it along. 541 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: As long as you have these massive deficits adding to 542 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: the debt, you're going to have these refinancing issues. And 543 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: as long as you have that, you're gonna have to 544 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: print more. You have to print more money. This whole 545 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: issue of fiat currency and particularly the central banks asset allocation. 546 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: That's why they're buying gold at an all time record level, 547 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: and that's one of the structural things underneath gold that 548 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: continues to put the pressure on the upward pressure on gold. 549 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: You need to understand this. 550 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: Go to birch Gold dot com promo code Bannon end 551 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: of the Dollar Empire. 552 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: We did this for a reason. We started four years. 553 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 2: Ago when gold was eleven hundred dollars an ounce why 554 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: we said, the financial crisis before the United States is something. 555 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: That has to be addressed. 556 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: And during the Biden regime, the illegitimate Biden regime years, 557 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,239 Speaker 2: it was awful what they did but understand today it's 558 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: one of the reason gold is above thirty nine hundred, 559 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 2: although it just backed off a couple of bucks. Wayde 560 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: Miller is going to join us. We're going to walk 561 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: through the logic of Russ's vote and why once again 562 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: this shutdown 563 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: Is going to work in our favorite short break back 564 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: to the moment.
