1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are last break of the

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: day on this Thursday. It's been a fun day and

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: we want to say thank you, as we always do

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: to our audience for listening every single day, loyally, loyally

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: for twenty years. Loyalty, loyalty. We appreciate that. All right, Steve.

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: So earlier we had a phone call from a federal

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: worker who was very much affected by the government shut down.

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: You know, this is like the second one, Yeah, the

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: second longest government shut down in the history of our country.

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: So here's what she had to say.

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: Take a listen what they had.

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 3: Yep.

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 4: Morning, I was watching listening to your morning show this

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 4: morning while we're talking about the government shutdown and as

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: a better wire work, and I'm actually a federal teacher

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: and we are not getting hey, but we still have

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: to fill up the work the supplements that income what

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: come of our and myself has been doing. We have

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: been doing DoorDash and left, but we still we're still

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 4: coming to work every day with files on our face,

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 4: but late at night and when we get off, we're

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 4: doing door dash and we're doing lift and things like that.

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 4: So it's really really sad that we have to come,

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 4: Tobi Hum.

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean I feel for you, I really really do.

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: I can only sympathize with you because I'm not in

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: that position that you're in, because I don't have a

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: job where you're gonna not pay me and I'm still coming.

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: I don't have that type of position.

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: The moment, the moment family feud or this radio show

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: or anybody else for that matter, tells me, Steve, we

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: don't have your money, immediately after you say that, you

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: don't have me. So I can't even I can't even

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: really wrap my mind around that. How unfair this is

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: to these federal workers, how unfair it is that this

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: government is shut down. The part that I don't like

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: about any of this it's all politically based. It's not

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: none of this is for the good of the people.

39
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: Because if you listen to the Republicans, the Democrats shut

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: the government down because they needed at least twelve of

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: the Democrats to agree to keep it open and they didn't.

42
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: So they're blaming the Democrats. The good Democrats are blaming

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: the Republicans because they're saying in this bill and the

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: way they want to craft this thing is that it's

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: going to hurt a lot of people's health care if

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: they allow this to go down the way it's going down.

47
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: And they're saying let's negotiate, well, the Republicans are saying,

48
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 3: open the government and let's negotiate, Well, all your negotiating

49
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: power is gone at that point.

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: You do know that, you do know that you can't.

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: So either way you look at this, it's the Democrat's

52
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: fault and it's the Republican's fault. But guess who pays

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: for this? The people the House and the Senate. They

54
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 3: still getting a check and why And Mike Johnson has

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: sent everybody home, the speaker during the shutdown. They should

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: be at work trying to resolve this thing. But you

57
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: all listen to me. This is a very very different

58
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: political climate we're in. We're in a political climate where

59
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: rules don't matter anymore. Normality is gone out the window, judges,

60
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: orders are disrespected. Nothing is the same anymore. Nothing is

61
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: the same. We're living in a time now where we

62
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: have a president that has supreme rule and command and

63
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: we have to grapple with that.

64
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: And I mean, and it's going down whether you like

65
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: it or not.

66
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: And they can shape this anyway they want to they

67
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: can say, this is not what we're doing, but this

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: is exactly what we're doing, and this is exactly what's happening,

69
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 3: and for anybody to be okay with this. And the

70
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: thing that I'm afraid of most is it has redefined

71
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: the way politics will be played in this country from

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: now on, because Donald Trump has laid down a blueprint

73
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: that has worked. And if you don't think the next

74
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 3: one coming along is gonna follow that exact same blueprint,

75
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: you are sadly mistaken.

76
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: It's because politics is just replication.

77
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: They look before and see what work that got them

78
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: where they are, and that's what they're gonna do.

79
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: The Republican Party is.

80
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: Forever changed, forever change, and the Democratic Party has changed also,

81
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: And if the Democrats don't become the same gangsters that

82
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: the Republicans are, they're gonna get gangsted right out of

83
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: business because Democrats cannot show weakness. The only two people

84
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: I see three four really, these are the four people

85
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: that I think have a chance in the Democratic Party.

86
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: Jasmin Crockett, Hakeem Jeffries.

87
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: More than out of Baltimore, out of Maryland, Moreland, and

88
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom.

89
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Out of California.

90
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: Them the only four that I see that have the

91
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: the the guts to stand up.

92
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: Now, is any of it working? I don't know how

93
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: it is.

94
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom seems to be the one closest to making

95
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: the most noise with it, but he gonna need a

96
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: running mate.

97
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: One of them brothers would be it.

98
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we not Wes Moore.

99
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Wes.

100
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: I like West a lot, and I like Hakeen Dreffies

101
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: when he speaks tough. But we need somebody tough man.

102
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: And because you ain't gonna beat Trump, because Trump is

103
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: gonna run again in twenty twenty eight.

104
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: I don't know how, but you don't. You know their

105
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: preparing to rule.

106
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's nothing you can do about it. Hey, y'all,

107
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 3: But either way, guess what, I'm gonna have a great

108
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: life because I serve a great God and ain't nobody

109
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: in charge of me but Him. So now I invite
