WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh August 21st, 2017

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>President Trump's efforts to build a wall continue. The Department

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>of Homeland Security is getting bids from lots of companies

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>that want to help build it. Trump administrations asking Congress

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>for a billion dollars to spend on it this year. Now.

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Senate Democrats want no part of this. They met with

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Larrazza and promised that they'll make sure it doesn't happen.

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Schumer told a Raza, Democrats will do whatever it

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>takes to stop the wall. Robert Menendez, New Jersey said

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>that Congress shouldn't pay a dime because, after all, Trump

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>claimed he'd make Mexico pay for it. Now, Larazza asked

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrats to do whatever they had to, including shutting down

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the government when a stop gap spending measure comes up

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>in April. Schumer didn't commit the Democrats to it, but

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>he said he hoped Republicans would not put the wall

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.599
<v Speaker 1>funding request in the spending measure. Well, it looks like

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Schumer's hope is the Republican's command. Senator Roy Blunt, top

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Republican Senate Committee on Appropriations, just said that they probably

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>won't include Trump's request to fund the wall until next year.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>So the News Isn't that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>are pressured by Larazza News is that the Republicans are

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:15.119
<v Speaker 1>afraid of a Democrat government shutdown because they think they'll

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>get blamed for it, even though the Democrats are responsible

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>for it and they're probably right.
