1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: If you're flying, Democrats are playing with your safety. They 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: know that they're playing with your safety, and they're wanting 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: it to hurt. They're wanting you to miss flights, they're 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: wanting you to stand in long lines, and they want 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: you to blame Donald Trump. But what they're not talking 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: about is how unsafe the skies have become because of 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: the pressure they've deliberately chosen to put on the system. 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: And the Federal Aviation Administration has directed airlines to reduce 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: flight operations at forty of the busiest US airports by 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: four percent, immediately ramping that up to six percent by 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: November the eleventh. If the deal isn't done now, the 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: present telling FAA you better get back to work. And 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: those that were true American patriots, he wants to give 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: them a big bonus. I'm gonna tell you more about 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: that coming up now. Part of this shutdown is gonna 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: cost you a lot of money. Obamacare is going to 17 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: be the center of that, and that's what the big 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: fight is over right now. In fact, Obamacare insurers bet 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: four hundred billion on the shutdown of the Democrats. 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 2: That's right. 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: Health insurers have never had it so good. Their stocks 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: are up more than one thousand percent since Obamacare passed, 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: and they now receive roughly a trillion dollars per year 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: and federal government subsidies. Remember when Obama said that the 25 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: costs were going to come down, No, it's now costing 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: you a trillion dollars per year, your tax dollars. Now 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: that much tax money is at stake. So politics are 28 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: seeing a massive flow of cash going to hard left 29 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: leaning candidates and elected officials. In the last presidential campaign, 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: for example, insurers gave five times more money to Kamala 31 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Harris to protect their one trillion dollars a year from you, 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: then to Donald Trump. Blueshit of California donated a half 33 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: a million. In United Health donated seventy five thousand, for example, 34 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: to Governor Gavin Newsom's ballot measure effort Proposition fifty. Why Well, 35 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: that could hand Democrats a big advantage, and that would 36 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: hand health insurance a big advantage as well, because adding 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: five additional seats in Congress to the Democrats Jerrymanner in California, 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: that is clearly good for the increases that the Democrats 39 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: are giving to the insurance companies. Now, the strategy also 40 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: appears to be paying off. Democrats in Congress are repaying 41 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: the favor by shutting down the government in order to 42 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: keep four hundred billion in Obamacare sepsies flowing from the 43 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: American taxpayer directly to the insurance company's pockets. Now you 44 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: understand why Democrats were so held bent on shutting down 45 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: the government. Now, by the way, these and I want 46 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: you to listen carefully, we're temporary. The four hundred billion 47 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: in Obamacare subsidies were temporary during the COVID era in 48 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: hand subsidies. So when COVID nineteen happened, there were these 49 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: enhanced subsidies at the Democrats and their insurance company benefactors. 50 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: They want them. 51 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: Even though there's no COVID right now, and they want 52 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: to make it permanent. Insurers have been enrolling people who 53 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: aren't even aware that they have coverage and don't use 54 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: the policies. Why because it pours more federal cash into 55 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: insurance companies coffers without requiring any outlays on the insurer's part. 56 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: It is a scam whose scale and duplicity is only 57 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: achievable at the intersection of corporate cronyism and a massive 58 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: bloated federal budget. We keep sending them the money, they 59 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: keep deposing the checks they're winning, and the political patronage 60 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: doesn't stop there. Health insurance are already paying back the 61 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: Democrats this year. They're hiking the Obamacare premiums by twenty 62 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: six percent, even though overall US healthcare costs are up 63 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: only about six percent. The Obamacare premiums up twenty six 64 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: percent because it's guaranteed tax dollars from you to the 65 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: insurance companies. Now that is a sharp contrast to last year, 66 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: when insurers held premium hikes to just four percent as 67 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were running for reelection they 68 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: needed the cost to stay low. After Donald Trump got elected, 69 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: premiums are jumping by twenty six percent. 70 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: Now here's the question. 71 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: Did insurance company simply defer those losses into this year? 72 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: Are they actively punishing Republicans who face midterm election year 73 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: and they want them to lose? You can decide, because 74 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: both our goals that the left beliefs are actually achievable. Now, 75 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: this health insurance company led government shut down has had 76 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: the effect of supporting Democrats and other controversial shutdowns the 77 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: pass that make no sense, such as keeping, for example, 78 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: nearly two hundred billion and free healthcare benefits flowing to 79 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. 80 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: Yes, that is how corrupt this shutdown is. 81 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: They want you to give two hundred billion and free 82 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: healthcare to illegal immigrants that broke into this country. Meanwhile, 83 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: while that's happening, health insurers are not putting federal substats 84 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: to use for the benefit of rate payers and taxpayers. 85 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: In fact, keeping with tradition, right with much of what 86 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: the federal government does in the federal budget, your money 87 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: is actually going directly down the drain. 88 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: How do we know this? 89 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: Federal auditors project that the Medicare advantage over billing will 90 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: exceed one trillion dollars this decade, meaning that this year 91 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: you're going to overpay by about one hundred million dollars. 92 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: The Trump administration has increased Medicare payments by twenty five billion, 93 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: of which United Healthcare, for example, alone may receive about 94 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: seven billion dollars in guaranteeing funds from the federal government. 95 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: Again, your tax dollars. 96 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: Soon after that, the Wall Street Journal reported that United Healthcare, 97 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: the biggest Obamacare insurer, paid nine billion, nine billion dollars 98 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: to AARP. I've been warning you for years about the 99 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: corruption of ARP. They paid them nine billion to ARP, 100 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: essentially to stamp its name on the company's Medicare plans. 101 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: That comes as United faced a federal investigation and a 102 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: Medicare over billing at risk that could threaten its long 103 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: term solvency. Now, imagine if that nine billion had gone 104 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: to patients instead of to the insurance company. How many 105 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: of those seniors could have actually gotten help. Now, if 106 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: Republicans agree to extend the Obamacare subsidies, it should come 107 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: with a condition making sures pay for the privilege. One 108 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: option is to pass the bipartisan No Upcode Act, which 109 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: would curb the industry's at Medicare advantage over billing. It 110 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: would help put an end to the practice of using 111 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: inaccurate or exaggerated diagnosises to inflate the claims that are 112 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: being reimbursed by US the taxpayers. The Congressional Budget Office, 113 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: for example, estimates the measure would save taxpayers one hundred 114 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: and twenty four billion dollars. 115 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: That's why they don't want to do it. 116 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: That's why Democrats are fighting so hard to mandate these 117 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: substas are extended. 118 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: Now, of the one. 119 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: Hundred and twenty four billion that could be saved. Half 120 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: could extend Obamacare substies for two years. The rest could 121 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: be used to reduce the deficit. Another reason why Democrats 122 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: are saying no, so here we are after raising the premiums, 123 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: cutting the benefits, facing federal investigations for overbilling Medicare. Insurers 124 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: need to rebuild public confidence, not get rewarded for their corruption. 125 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: Backing a government shutdown to get foreigner billion is the 126 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: wrong approach. But now you understand why Democrats are doing 127 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: it and why there should be backlash from conservatives now 128 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: that you know the facts, if Republicans go along with it, 129 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: every so often something happens that reminds us just how 130 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our 131 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: rights for granted. We must draw a line in the sand, 132 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: and our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just 133 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: that for more than twelve years.

How do we 165 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: know this, Well, it was leaked this week that one 166 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: of those on Capitol Hill had this to say about 167 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: you flying. 168 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: Senator Fetterman, a member of this committee, has said, quite candidly, 169 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: this is a Democrat shutdown for the sake of the 170 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: TSA agents, for the sake of the air traffic controllers, for. 171 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: The sake of the flying public. 172 00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: Let's not test that idiot Democrat staffer who told Politico 173 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 3: will keep the shutdown going until planes start falling from 174 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 3: the sky. 175 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: That's not funny. 176 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: And I do believe my colleagues on the Democrats side 177 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 3: they don't want to see that happen. But every day 178 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 3: that they starve the system of the resources it needs, 179 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: they increase the chances of a tragedy like that occurring. 180 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: Politico reporting that the top Democratic staffer said that they 181 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: are going to hold us hostage until planes start falling 182 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: from the sky. 183 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: That is their goal, hold us all hostage. 184 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: Fast forward after that, Democrats getting in line, making it 185 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: very clear they think this government shutdown is amazing for them. 186 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: A perfect example of that is the partisan hack Democratic 187 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: Center Richard Blumenthal. He was in front of the cameras 188 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: and if you think he's doing this for America, you're wrong. 189 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: He's doing this for the partisan politics, and he wants 190 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: it to hurt. Here's what he has to say about 191 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: the government's shutdown. 192 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: Yes, it is just a game to him. 193 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 4: I think that there is no reason to surrender now, 194 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 4: every reason to stand firm. 195 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: No reason to surrender now, and every reason to stand 196 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: firm now. Is that what's best for the American people. 197 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: Of course not, but that doesn't matter because it's all 198 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: about power, Which then brings us to Senator Chuck Schumer. 199 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: He decided to go to the floor of the Senate 200 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: on Friday talking about the government shut down with new mandates, 201 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: new demands, and the Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer said, quote, 202 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: They're offering to reopen our government if Republicans agree to 203 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: be held hostage and pay the ransom of a one 204 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: year extension of the premium tax credits under the Affordable 205 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: Care Act known as Obamacare, Schumer saying this about reopening 206 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: the government as law as long as the hostage deal 207 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: is taken by the Republicans. 208 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 5: So let's find a path to honor both positions. Democrats 209 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 5: would like to see an end to this shutdown, and 210 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 5: we want to respect Leader Thun's desire not to negotiate 211 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 5: on ACA until after the government reopens. Therefore, we'd like 212 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 5: to offer a simple proposal that would reopen the government 213 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 5: and extend the ACA premium tax credits simultaneously, and then 214 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 5: have the opportunity to start negotiating longer term solutions to 215 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 5: health care costs. Let's do all three. I've spoken with 216 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 5: my caucus, and Democrats are offering a very simple compromise. 217 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 5: Democrats are ready to clear the way to quickly pass 218 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 5: a government funding bill that includes healthcare affordability. Leader Thun 219 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 5: just needs to add a clean one year extension of 220 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 5: the ACA tax credits to the c Are so that 221 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 5: we can immediately address rising healthcare costs. That's not a negotiation, 222 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 5: it's an extension of current law, something we do all 223 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 5: the time around here, as we all know. But we 224 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 5: also offer this, let's create a bipartisan committee that will 225 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: continue negotiations after the government reopens on reforms ahead of 226 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 5: next year's enrollment period to provide long term certainty that 227 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 5: healthcare costs will be more affordable. This proposal reopens the 228 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 5: government and insures working families who are shopping right now 229 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 5: for their healthcare get certainty and financial relief while open 230 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 5: enrollment has begun, Insurers can update their rates after we 231 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 5: pass a simple extension of the tax credits. With this approach, 232 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 5: we do not negotiate healthcare in the shutdown, as Leader 233 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 5: Thun has maintained he wished, and the American people get 234 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 5: the tax credit extension they want. That is what many 235 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 5: of our Republican colleagues have floated over the last six 236 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 5: weeks as a compromise, a one year tax credit extension 237 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 5: and reforms to the credit. Beyond that, we will agree 238 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 5: with the Republican Republican request not to start negotiations until 239 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 5: after the government reopens. All Republicans have to do is 240 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 5: say yes to extend current law for one year. It 241 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 5: makes sense, and since what we're proposing is only a 242 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 5: simple extension of current law, the Senate could do this 243 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 5: within a few hours. This is a reasonable offer that 244 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 5: reopens the government, deals with health care affordability, and begins 245 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 5: a process of negotiating reforms to the ACA tax credits 246 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 5: for the future. Now the ball is in the Republicans court. 247 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: We need Republicans to just say yes. 248 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: So there he is, in his own words, making it 249 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: clear we're holding America hostage and we're proud of it. 250 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: The shutdown chaos is dominating America, certainly the skies, and 251 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: that's where the bigger warnings are coming. In flight numbers 252 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: we're now being told will continue to be reduced. And 253 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: the only way to fix is if Democrats open the 254 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: damn government. That is the exact quote from the Transportation 255 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: Secretary Sean Duffy saying this during a discussion in Washington, 256 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: d C. The recent announcement indicates that there will be 257 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: a four percent reduction in flights across the country do 258 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: the government shutdown that is expected to scale up to. 259 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: Ten percent by next week. 260 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: Offering a breakdown the situation, Duffy said, air traffic controllers 261 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: are in a tight spot, expected to miss a second 262 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: full paycheck as the first was owned a partial Here's 263 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: more of what Delphi had to say about how chaotic 264 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: it's going to get in the skies. 265 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 6: You guys announced yesterday and this has started to go 266 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 6: into effect today four percent reductions today in flights across 267 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 6: the country because of the ongoing government shutdown. That's going 268 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 6: to scale up to ten percent next week. Can you 269 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 6: give us a breakdown of how, first off, why this 270 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 6: is necessary, and then how these decisions were made and 271 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 6: where and how this is going to impact mere Yeah. 272 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 7: So, first off, air traffic controllers a critical part of 273 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 7: our aviation infrastructure. Wonderful men and women who serve the 274 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 7: American people. They do a great job. They have had 275 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 7: one paycheck where they got a partial payment. A second 276 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 7: paycheck was flat zero. They just got noticed that the 277 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 7: second full paycheck will be a big fat zero that 278 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 7: comes next week. And so there's been a lot of 279 00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 7: pressure on the controllers and when that happens, there asking 280 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 7: them to come to work. That's important they come to work, 281 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 7: But some of them are new to the business. They 282 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 7: don't have a nest egg that they've been able to 283 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 7: plan for and prepare for. And if you don't get 284 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 7: two paychecks, they're confronted with like anybody else would be 285 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 7: confronted with, how do I not just pay the rent, 286 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 7: pay the car payment. 287 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 8: But there's a gas. 288 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 7: Bill, electric bill, there's a TV bill, there's food on 289 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 7: the table, there's gas in the car, real life expenses 290 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 7: that they're having to think through. And some of them 291 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 7: have made the decision to not come to work but 292 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 7: go take a second job. And what that has done 293 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 7: is put a lot of pressure on the air traffic 294 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 7: control system. And you've seen that play out over the 295 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 7: course of the month with more delays and more cancelations. 296 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 7: And by the way, it's not in the same place 297 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 7: every day. One day it might be in La then 298 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 7: it might be in New York, and then it's Houston 299 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 7: or Dallas or Orlando. It's never the same place. And 300 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 7: so we look at data. What is the data telling 301 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 7: us to And just as a side note, these two 302 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 7: things are not related. But for the issue of data, 303 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 7: we had a DCA air crash, and before that crash, 304 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 7: there was information. Had someone looked at the data that 305 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 7: there were near misses and someone should have said, listen, 306 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 7: stop the cross traffic. The data says, don't do it. Well, 307 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 7: no one looked at the data. Well, we learned from 308 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 7: that we should look at data and what's happening, and 309 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 7: so as we've done that through the FA Safety team, 310 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 7: we're seeing a loss of separation in the airspace. There's 311 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 7: spacing for aircraft, there has been there's been incursions in 312 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 7: those separations. 313 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 8: Those numbers have gone up. 314 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: Not only have the numbers gone up, but Secretary Duffy said, 315 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: this is being done deliberately on purpose by Democrats knowing 316 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: they are putting your lives at risk. 317 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: I also, I want to be clear about something. 318 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: Republicans had a clean bill to pay government essential workers, 319 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: the workers that are forced to come in even if 320 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: they're not getting a paycheck. That includes air traffic controllers. 321 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: And what are the Democrats do? They said, no, that 322 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: is how you know that this is being done deliberately. 323 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to more of what the 324 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy had to say when he was 325 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: sitting down on Friday at a bright Bart conference. 326 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 327 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 7: There's more incursions on the ground, and then we've had 328 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 7: more complaints from pilots that have said, well, the controller 329 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 7: is less responsive to me, or controllers seem to be 330 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 7: more stressed. So we looked at that data and the 331 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 7: numbers are going in the wrong direction. This is a 332 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 7: really long answer, but I want. 333 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 6: To expect, yeah, please do. 334 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 7: The numbers are going in the wrong direction, and so 335 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 7: then what is our response to that? And the response 336 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 7: is to take pressure out of the system. And through 337 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 7: the safety team, We've talked about lowering the number of 338 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 7: flights and so we were going to do ten percent 339 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 7: right away. The safety team said that could be even 340 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 7: more disruptive. We should we should actually phase this in, 341 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 7: to which we've done that. Today is the first day, 342 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 7: four percent reduction, four days later another two percent, two 343 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 7: days after that, two percent, and then you know, two 344 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 7: percent on. And what I'm hoping to do is again 345 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 7: take the pressure and more risk out of the system. 346 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 7: We always try to manage the risk. Nothing is ever 347 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 7: fully safe. A car is not safe, walking down the 348 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 7: streets not full I mean, there's risk and everything we do. 349 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 7: I'm trying to minimize the risk through this government shutdown 350 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 7: and bring us to a matrix that matches what we 351 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 7: had before the shutdown. And I've had some complaints from Democrats. 352 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 7: They've said, well, we want to see the data, and 353 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 7: why are you looking at data? And this is political? 354 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 7: This has not been political. We have worked over time 355 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 7: to make sure that we minimize the impact on the 356 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 7: American people. 357 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 8: We're trying to help the American people. 358 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 7: And when I start to get attacked by Democrats, that 359 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 7: also gets frustrating because there's a very easy solution to 360 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 7: the problem that they put directly on my lap, which 361 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 7: is open the day i'm government, vote to open the government. 362 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 7: So those who snipe at me for having to take 363 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 7: really unique action, they put that on my on my plate, 364 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 7: so open it up. And by the way, I didn't 365 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 7: remember the last some of the last shutdowns I was. 366 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 8: I was part of those. 367 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 7: We stayed here for a month. I gained ten pounds, 368 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 7: I think cause I ate pizza and the junkiest food. 369 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 7: But you sit here every weekend, every day while the 370 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 7: government is shut down and your your family's upset, your 371 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 7: kids are annoyed. That people would go home during a 372 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 7: shutdown when the American people are suffering, is just flat 373 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 7: out wrong. 374 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 8: Everyone should be here, everyone should be working. 375 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 7: No one should go home because, by the way I 376 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 7: saw it today, I was at DCA. 377 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 8: I'm just I'm not I'm let you ask me questions. 378 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 7: There's people going to funerals, There's people were trying to 379 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 7: get home. They can't get home while senator's going home. 380 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 7: Keep them here, and especially the senators who voted know 381 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 7: to open the government off. 382 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 6: Maybe we could put the senators who keep voting to 383 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 6: shut the government down on the no fly list. 384 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 8: That would be a great well played. 385 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: You listen to the games they're being played, and he's 386 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: absolutely right. In a government shutdown. When he was in Washington, 387 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: d C. Serving you stayed in town. The families were 388 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: frustrated because they weren't coming home. The constituents weren't seeing 389 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: their congressmen in their district or the senators in their state. 390 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: But what are we watching this time? All of these 391 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: people are going home. I would argue that there's no 392 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: way this government shutdown would be this long if they 393 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: forced the congressman and the senators to stay in town. 394 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: So if this is what is happening and what we're 395 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: witnessing right now, it's probably going to continue. Democrats feel 396 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: like they're holding America hostage, and they feel like that 397 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: is a good thing. 398 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: They also believe that this. 399 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: Is actually working to their advantage, especially after the big 400 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: wins they said they got on Tuesday in hardcore liberal states. 401 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: So here we are in a full government shut down, 402 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: the longest one in history. And what are Democrats saying? 403 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: They're just simply saying, We're going to keep doing it. 404 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: Why in essence, why not? We love that this is 405 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: happening right now, We love that this is where we are, 406 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: and we love that you are being held hostage now. 407 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: Tommy Tuberbilt Center from Alabama. He said this even about 408 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: the issue of the filibuster earlier on Fox Well. 409 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 9: In the last week or so, Martha, the Democrats have 410 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 9: snuck around behind the scenes and worked with our leadership 411 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 9: team knowing that they want to get out of this themselves. 412 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 9: Not all of them, but a few of them, and 413 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 9: hopefully it would be enough to open up. But I 414 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 9: think they really feel emboldened that they wont a couple 415 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 9: of blue state elections this past Tuesday. And I don't 416 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 9: know whether the deal is still on the table. You know, 417 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 9: it's about three appropriation bills that we'd put in the 418 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 9: CR put a date in there, get it done, voted in, 419 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 9: and possibly kick the can down the road to January. 420 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 9: Here's a problem with Marsha. These people feel empowered on 421 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 9: the Democratic side. They can't control President Trump, but they 422 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 9: think they can control the United States Senate. And that's 423 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 9: the reason. As President Trump had us in the White 424 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 9: House there stay for breakfast. He said, if you don't 425 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 9: bust a filibuster, we won't get anything else done. There's 426 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 9: gonna be more closures. So we got to make a 427 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 9: decision on our side. I'm all for going to fifty one. Now. 428 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 9: I was totally against it until I saw really how 429 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 9: this place works. And I've been up here five years, 430 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 9: and there's not gonna be anything done if we don't 431 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 9: do something about this filibuster. Pass it up and let's 432 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 9: go and just kick the Democrats to the side and 433 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 9: get something done for the American people they are suffering. 434 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: Now you hear that from Tommy Tubverbilt. There is always 435 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: a cause and effect. When Democrats get back and control 436 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: will at some point in my lifetime, maybe multiple times 437 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: in my lifetime, they will then kick the Republicans the 438 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: corner and go full blown communists, like we're witnessing in 439 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: New York City. Even Democrats are getting in on this. 440 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: John Fetterman speaking to reporters about the same issue, and 441 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: here's what he said. 442 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 9: Some of your Republican colleagues have proposed nuking the filibuster 443 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 9: to force the government to reopen. 444 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 4: What do you think, Yeah, of course, of course, carve 445 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 4: it out for that. Absolutely, we ran on that. We 446 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 4: ran on killing the philibuster, and now we love it. 447 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 4: You know, it's like, carve it out so we can 448 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 4: move on. And I support it because it makes it 449 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 4: more difficult to shut the government down in the future. 450 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 4: And that's where it's entirely appropriate. And I don't want 451 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 4: to hear any Democrats clutching their pearls about the filibuster. 452 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 4: We all ran on it. I ran on that in 453 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 4: mid so like that's. 454 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, so there is again, Fetterman. We ran on killing 455 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: the philibuster and now we love it. Carve it out 456 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: so we can move on. I support it because it 457 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: makes it more difficult to shut the government down in 458 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: the future, and that's where it's entirely appropriate. I don't 459 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: want to hear any Democrats clutching their pearls about the filibuster. 460 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: John Fetterman also calling out his own party, saying it's 461 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: very clear that the Democrats are holding the American people hostage. 462 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 4: It's like, that's why shutting the government is really what 463 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 4: the Democratic Party wants to do, and I follow country 464 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 4: then party, and it's the wrong thing for the country 465 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 4: in a period of chaos. I refuse to vote to 466 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 4: shut our government down. I absolutely would love to have 467 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 4: I would love to have a conversation about extending the 468 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 4: tax credits for healthcare. Absolutely, but I would remind everybody too, 469 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 4: this was designed by the Democratic Party to expire at 470 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: the end of the year. This is not something taken 471 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 4: from by the Republicans. That's they were designed to expire. Now, 472 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 4: let's have a conversation to extend it and not shut 473 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 4: our government down, and let's continue the help. 474 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: Has already agreed to that. 475 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 4: Well, I mean that you know that. Well for me, 476 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 4: I do believe. I do believe Leader Thun is an 477 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 4: honorable man, and I do believe. Well, you're not gonna lie. 478 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 4: I mean, you can't guarantee any outcome. But what I'm 479 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 4: what I'm saying it that's talking about what's wrong for 480 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 4: the country. I can't vote for a thing. I can't 481 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 4: vote to shutting our government down. 482 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: You wonder where the other statesmen are. John Fetterin been 483 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: calling out his own party. Democrats choose party over country. 484 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: I follow country then party, and it's the wrong thing 485 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: for the country in a period of chaos, saying I 486 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: refuse to vote to shut our government down. You wonder 487 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: when this will actually stop the insanity.
