1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Democrats are holding Americans hostage, refusing to do what Republicans 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: did seven times during the Biden administration simply agreed to 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: a continuing resolution until the broader government plan, the financial 4 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: plan could be agreed to. But this time the Democrats 5 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: said no. Why they want to hurt Americans and they 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: want to put illegal immigrants first. We have a lot 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: to talk about when it comes to what all happened, 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: and now this all comes down to the Senate because 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: the overall plan has already made its way. 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: Out of the House. So what is next. 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: I want you to hear what Senator Cruz had to say, 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: because all this revolves around what's happening in the Senate. 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: The United States government is shut down. The Democrats they 14 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: did it on purpose. Apparently it was their plan. And 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: the question is for how long have they been planning 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: on doing this sat This is going to be a 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: very interesting show. This all revolve around the Senate. That 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: is something that maybe some people don't realize. Everything's come 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: out of the House. We're now to the Senate side 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: of things, and I want you to explain what it 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: was like in the hours leading after this shutdown. Was 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: there ever a chance in hell, that the government wasn't 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: going to shut down. 24 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: No, that there was never a chance. It is just 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: after midnight, so the government is shut down just for 26 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 3: a few minutes. But I think the government shutdown is 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 3: going to last at a minimum of days. It may 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: be weeks, and it may even be longer. Really, yes, 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: this could extend for a significant period of time. And 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: understand this is the Democrats roar that they hate Donald Trump. 31 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 3: So I got to say. We had the vote tonight. 32 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: There was no surprise. Everyone knew the outcome. Out of 33 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: one hundred senators, all of us knew the outcome. The 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: vote was fifty five to forty five. So three Democrat 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: senators voted to keep the government open. 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: You have a pretty big deal, right, I mean, did 37 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: you think those three were going to go? 38 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: Where? Did you think it was going to be a 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 2: unanimous vote? 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: I mean Fetterman and two others like that's that is significant. 41 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, look Fetterman, I was not surprised. So Fetterman voted 42 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: to keep the government open. Courtes Master voter to keep 43 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: the government open, and Angus King voted to keep the 44 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 3: government open. That's not shocking to me. It's fifty five 45 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: to forty five. Now why did the government shut down? Look, 46 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: the basic operation of government is the federal government cannot 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: continue to operate unless Congress appropriates funds. Under the Constitution, 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: Congress has the power of the purse, So Congress appropriates 49 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: the spending of money. A typical fiscal year is October 50 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 3: first to September thirtieth. 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: YEP. 52 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: This particular funding ended at midnight on September thirtieth. You 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: and I are recording this just after minutes after midnight 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: on September thirtieth. The appropriation, the authorization for Congress to 55 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: spend money expired minutes ago. Now, there are a couple 56 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: of ways you can extend the government funding. One is 57 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 3: an appropriation and so they're typically in a good year, 58 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: they're thirteen appropriation bills that fund each different kind of 59 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: major segment of government. For a number of years, the 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: appropriation bills have not passed. The other major way that 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: government authorization occurs is through what are called crs. CR 62 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: is short for continual resolution. A continue resolution is essentially 63 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: Congress saying, what we are spending. Now, we can continue 64 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: continue the status quo identically for x period of time. Now, 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: the House of Representatives passed a CR, a clean CR 66 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: to fund the federal government through the middle of November. 67 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: So if the Senate had passed it. 68 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: Oh, let's be clear. When you say a clean that 69 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: means no political sananigans in it. It's literally saying, we're 70 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: taking the twenty five budget year and we're going to 71 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: say the exact same amount we spent in August, we're 72 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna spend September, October, November until we get the new budget. 73 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: There is no port barrel extras. There's no political cigan 74 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: against from either side. 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, okay. A clean CR says what we 76 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: spent yesterday is what we'll spend tomorrow, that everything just 77 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: continues the same, and that's what the House has passed. Now. 78 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: The challenge is for anything to pass the Senate that 79 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: is in the nature of an appropriations or a CR, 80 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 3: it takes sixty votes because under the filibuster rule, you've 81 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: got to have sixty votes to move forward on legislation. So, 82 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: as I mentioned, we got fifty five, we got three Democrats, 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: but we need sixty, which means we need at least 84 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: seven Democrats, and actually here we need eight Democrats because 85 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 3: ran all voted no. So we had fifty two Republicans 86 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: vote yes, and we needed eight Democrats to vote yes 87 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 3: to fund the government. Well, we only got three, and. 88 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: That was on purpose. 89 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: And I want to pause just for a second to 90 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: go back to the cr historically. Let's just go back 91 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: to Biden's time in office when you guys were in 92 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: the minority. If I'm not mistaken, you guys did this 93 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: more than a dozen times where you came to go. 94 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: And say, hey, we machanged a thirteen time. 95 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: All right, So thirteen different times y'all came together and 96 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: said we're gonna spend exactly what we spent yesterday to 97 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: keep the government open so we avoid a government shut down. 98 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: And you put the American people ahead of politics. And 99 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: that is a bipartisan moment, right, They had to have 100 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: some of your votes. 101 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: So look, every time we came to the end of 102 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: government funding, you would have enough Republicans join with Democrats 103 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,119 Speaker 3: to keep the government funded. Now, what has changed, Well, 104 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: several months ago we had another expiration of government funding. 105 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 3: And what happened is Chuck Schumer and the Democrats decided, okay, 106 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: let's keep the government going. A very reasonable and very 107 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: common sense, a very normal decision. The Democratic left wing 108 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: base lost their mind and Chuck Schumer nearly lost his 109 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: job because Schumer allowed the government to be funded several 110 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 3: months ago. The left wing rose up against him. And 111 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 3: you want to understand why we have a shutdown. It's 112 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: one thing. Schumer is looking over his left shoulder and 113 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: he sees AOC running up behind him, and he is 114 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: terrified he's going to lose his job. So listen, Schumer 115 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: knows this is not going to work. He knows this 116 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: is failures. 117 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: See just pure cover your als politics one oh one 118 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: by Schumer. 119 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 3: So the radical left wing, they hate Trump and they 120 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: want today to be a giant f u to Trump. 121 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: They want it to be we hate President Trump, and 122 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: we hate President Trump so much we're gonna shut the 123 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 3: entire government down because arar. That's what we're watching now. 124 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: By the way, So then hold on, when did this 125 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: become the plan? Was this weeks ago? Months ago? Was 126 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: this when they had the last year? As I got 127 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: the next time it comes up, I have no choice. 128 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: I got to shut down the government to flex my 129 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: muscles and also to there is a real concern by 130 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: him that AOC is going to run against him primary 131 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: him in the Senate, by the way, that is after 132 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: the next president's election cycle? 133 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 4: Was that? 134 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: And that isn't he up two years after? If I'm 135 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: not mistaken, so be a gout five plus years from now. 136 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: So, and to be clear, I predicted on this podcast 137 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: the inaugural member the chairman of the AOC for President 138 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: campaign is Chuck Schumer because he is desperate for AOC 139 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: not to primary him. Yeah, he's gonna say, Alexandra, you 140 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: are such a big deal, you were so important. Really, 141 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: the Senate's too small for you. Why do you want 142 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: to bother being in the Senate? Sue should be in 143 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: the White House. Schumer is going to be all in 144 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: on that, but he is living with absolute PTSD. He 145 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: is traumatized. He sees left wing antifa crazies coming around 146 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: on every side, and so from his end, this shutdown 147 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: is necessary politically. Now, what did the Democrats demand? They 148 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: demanded a lot of things, you know what the number 149 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: one demand was. 150 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: What's that? 151 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 3: Free healthcare for illegals all over the country. 152 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: By the way, I mean, when you think about that 153 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: and the polling data and what it says, I don't 154 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: understand why that would make your number one thing, Because 155 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: it's clear that the people are behind President Trump. Securing 156 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: our borders, stopping government waste, front of use doges was 157 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: a big part of it. And also making sure that 158 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: we're not giving out benefits to illegal immigrants. Right, no, no, no, 159 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: we want to spend one point five trillion if you 160 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: want our votes, and it has to be for health 161 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: care for illegal immigrants and food stamps for people that 162 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: are able bodied, for example, that refuse to work. That's 163 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: another thing, and they're like, no, no, no, we buy glly. 164 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: You better get minded people that are just straight up lazy, 165 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: that aren't that have the ability to work, but you 166 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: got to pay them to stay home. 167 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 3: Yeah. A huge pump chunk of this is getting rid 168 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 3: of the work requirement for government benefits. Democrats don't want 169 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: anyone to have to work. They wanted them to be 170 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 3: able to sit at home and get government checks. But 171 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: did you see the AI video of the White House 172 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: put out? 173 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: Which one they put out a couple different things. Which 174 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: one are you talking about? 175 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: I want you? I want I want to play this 176 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: for everyone. This is fake So so all the nattering 177 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: nabobs this is fake news. But it is absolutely hysterical 178 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 3: that the White House put out. This is Chuck Schumer 179 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: and a Keem Jeffery is explaining what this shutdown is 180 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: all about. 181 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: Take a listen to this. 182 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 5: Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes 183 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 5: Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all 184 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 5: of our woke trans Not even black people want to 185 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 5: vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we 186 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 5: need new voters. And if we give all these illegal 187 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 5: aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get them 188 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 5: on our side so they can vote for us. They 189 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 5: can't even speak English, so they won't realize we're just 190 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 5: a bunch of woke pieces of shit, you know, at 191 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 5: least for a while until they learn English and they 192 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 5: realize they hate us too. 193 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: See, this is when I love AI. This is when 194 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: I absolutely love the spoof from the President. And if 195 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: you can't see this, you need to go look at it. 196 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 2: We put up on. 197 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: Social media, the videos and Importphreeze has got a really nice 198 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: Hannibar mustache and a sombrero on. 199 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 3: So look, pause for a second and realize that was 200 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: released by the White House. That was released by the 201 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 3: President of the United States. I feel a little guilty 202 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: because we've got some cursewords in there. We try to 203 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 3: avoid cursewords on this podcast. But what do you do 204 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: when the president has put that out? You put it? 205 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: And I gotta say, the video sits today at lunch. 206 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: So every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, all the Republican senators 207 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: have lunch together. Yeah, today at lunch, John Thune met 208 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 3: with the President, met with Schumer, met with the King 209 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: Jeffries at the White House. And so Thune was giving 210 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: us a download on that. And you know, Thune was 211 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 3: talking about, Okay, the Democrats they don't want to cut 212 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: a deal. They're not willing to give it on anything. 213 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 3: And I will confess. I raised my hand. I question. 214 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: I said, John was a King Jeffries wearing the sombrero. 215 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: And what did he say? 216 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: He just laughed. But look and everyone cracked up. But 217 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 3: that image. Listen, the Democrats have literally shut down the 218 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 3: federal government because they want free health care for every 219 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 3: illegal alien in America. Yeah, you want to talk about, 220 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 3: like on every issue that's eighty twenty or even n 221 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: they're on the twenty or the ten side. The American 222 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: people do not support. If you want to have a 223 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: referendum in this country, should we give illegals free health care? Wow? 224 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 3: That will be overwhelming. But here's the secret. This shutdown 225 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 3: is not actually about free health care for illegals' that's 226 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 3: what the Democrats have hung their hat on because they 227 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: got to say they want. 228 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: So they gotta say something, right. 229 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: This is all about just we hate Donald Trump and 230 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 3: it is Chuck Schumer job preservation. And that also means 231 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 3: the end of this. Okay, there's no universe in which 232 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer will get President Trump to agree to let's 233 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: give free health care to illegals. 234 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, not gonna happen. They know that. 235 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're entering. There's no universe in which Republicans in 236 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 3: Congress are going to say, hey, that's a great idea, 237 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 3: let's give free health care to every illegal. Like that's 238 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 3: you might as well ask for Area fifty one, like 239 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 3: to release the Martians and let them take over the country. Yeah, 240 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 3: that is as likely to happen as free health care 241 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 3: for illegals from Republicans. The Democrats know that this is 242 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: not about getting what they're demanding. This is about how 243 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: long do they want to demonstrate Orange Man bad? 244 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so do you actually believe. And let's go 245 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: back to the history of the Senate here. I don't 246 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: believe that Chuck Schumer actually wanted to shut down the government. 247 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 2: No, No, I think he was forced to do it. 248 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, he would lose his job. He would lose his 249 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: job if the government. 250 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 2: It was help preservation. 251 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 3: Yes. 252 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 2: In other words, this is weird. 253 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is being held hostage by the Marxist communists 254 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: and socialists in his party, which they did not police 255 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: and they allowed to take over their party. Then he's 256 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: now holding the American people hostage with a government shut down, 257 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: which brings me the big question. Even when we've had 258 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: shutdowns in the past, there has been some agreement center like, hey, 259 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: certain people should deserve to get paid, those that are 260 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: in the military, those badges, like the list is not 261 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: that long, but the essential important people that deserve to 262 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: get a paycheck. We don't screw with them when they're 263 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: protecting to fing this country, can you guys, at least 264 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: was there an agreement to pay them? 265 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: Really? 266 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: Okay, so walk us through that, because I'm assuming that 267 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: came up at lunch. 268 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: So one of the things I did today is I 269 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: sent a letter because under the Constitution members of Congress. 270 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: Our pay cannot be stopped. It's actually unconstitutional to reduce 271 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 3: the compensation for members of Congress during the term we're 272 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 3: elected to. So I sent a letter and I've done 273 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 3: this during every shutdown, saying while the government is shut down, 274 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 3: don't pay me. It's not fair. It's not right for 275 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 3: an elected member of Congress to receive a paycheck when 276 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: federal workers are not. Now, to be clear, I don't 277 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: lose my pay when the shutdown is over. I'll get 278 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: its just deferred, but it's deferred. 279 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: But a lot of people don't understand that. 280 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: The long which if I think just asinine and I 281 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: have family members work in the federal government, and they're like, 282 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: the dumb part about this that I think a lot 283 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: of Americans don't understand, yep, is that you don't miss 284 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: a paycheck in your calendar year. You just miss a 285 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: month and then you get it back data, you get 286 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: it back the next time whenever the government does open 287 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: back up. And so I know people that are in 288 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: the FA for example, and they're like, dude, we just 289 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: plan our vacations like great trips around shutdowns because we 290 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: know we're still getting paid. 291 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: We save not everybody can do that. 292 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: But like they've almost pre planned for this bonus vacation 293 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: and they're going to get paid back. 294 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but let me make several points of clarification. Sure 295 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 3: number one, government shutdown is a misnomer. More than eighty 296 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 3: percent of the government will continue to operate. So the 297 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 3: basic principle is everything that is essential keeps going. So 298 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: the military, our activity and military like defending the nation 299 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: against bad guys, that keeps going. The FBI catching criminals, 300 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 3: that keeps going, the border patrol and ice that keeps going. 301 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: The FAA air traffic controllers. Tomorrow, if you get on 302 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: an airplane, the air traffic controllers all go to work. 303 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: By the way, the air traffic controllers are not getting 304 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: a paycheck, so they're going to work. But every two 305 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: weeks federal government employees get paid. Air traffic controllers, coast guardsmen, military, 306 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 3: the federal government nobody gets a paycheck. And so what 307 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: shuts down. Every cabinet secretary was assigned designate among your 308 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: employees who is essential and who is not essential. I 309 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 3: remember when Bill Clinton was president, we had to shut down. Then, 310 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 3: remember Nude Gingrich and the Republican Congress were fighting with 311 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: Bill Clinton, we had to shut down for a number 312 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 3: of weeks, and I remember there was a headline that 313 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: said the Department of Commerce designated thirty percent of their 314 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 3: employees is essential and seventy percent is non essential. I 315 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 3: remember thinking, that's great, we just set a new benchline 316 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 3: all those non essential. That's seventy percent they ought to 317 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 3: be done. But what that means, so what will be 318 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 3: shut down? Starting October one? National parks will be shut down. 319 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 3: So I gotta say, if you were planning to take 320 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 3: your family to Yosemite this weekend, yeah, I'm I'm sorry 321 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 3: to say you're out of luck. Yosemite will be closed. 322 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 3: If you were coming to d C to tour our 323 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: nation's capital, you wanted to go to the Smithsonian, go 324 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: to the Air and Space Museum, it's the Smithsonian will 325 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 3: be shut down. If you look at things like the 326 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 3: National Institute of Health, like research on cancer, much of 327 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 3: that will be shut down. 328 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 2: All across that non essential. 329 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: When people were gonna say that seems insane, Why wouldn't 330 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: we fix that to make sure when we have these 331 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: Shenanigan's happened that that's not affected. 332 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 3: And I think this shutdown will extend. I think it'll 333 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 3: be weeks. I think it will be Schumer is trying 334 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 3: to protect his own rear end and everything else is 335 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 3: secondary to protecting his own political life, So I think 336 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 3: we will see an extended shutdown. 337 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: So is this polling then? 338 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you decide when you won or 339 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: you lost if you're Schumer, Because this is not about 340 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: the country hating Schumer. This is only about New York. 341 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm protecting a seat from AOC. So in essence, you 342 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: don't care how many people hate you in the country. 343 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: It's only a New York thing, is that. I mean, well, 344 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: they do polling. I mean this is weird. 345 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, so this is being called the Schumer shutdown. Yeah, 346 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 3: and I got to say, the Democrats are losing the 347 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 3: messaging battle. It is clear this is a Democrat shutdown. 348 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: There was actually exchange right before we had the vote 349 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 3: on the CR to keep the government open, and this 350 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 3: is a clean CR. No riders know nothing. This is 351 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 3: just keep every keep the lights. 352 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 2: On, status quo. 353 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 3: Schumer stood up and was speaking, and all the Senators 354 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: or most of us were standing on the Senate floor, 355 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 3: and Schumer said, look, there's been reference to polling, but 356 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: the polling has been biased. It's been right wing polling, 357 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 3: for example, the New York Times. And I got to 358 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: tell you, I and every other Republican we just started 359 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 3: cracking up, laughing, and you could see Schumer he actually 360 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: turned red, he looked sheepish because he just said on 361 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 3: the Senate floor that the New York Times was a 362 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: biased right wing poll. 363 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously. 364 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 3: And it was a moment where where like Schumer, you 365 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 3: saw Democrats looking at him going, dude, you look like 366 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: that's weak. And that's because the New York Times did 367 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 3: a poll if the Democrats don't get everything they want, 368 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 3: should they shut the government down? And sixty five percent 369 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 3: of America and said no, don't shut the government down. 370 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: It was a small percentage. It was just over twenty 371 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 3: percent of Americans that said yes, shut the government down. 372 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 3: So that's who the Democrats are responding to. But they've 373 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,239 Speaker 3: got Schumer's message is the New York Times is a 374 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 3: right wing mouthpiece, and how dare you tell the American 375 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: people that we the Democrats, are shutting the government down. 376 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: This is headed to failure. Everyone knows that, every Republican 377 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 3: knows that every Democrat knows that is there an outcome 378 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 3: where Republicans say, okay, great, let's fund healthcare free illegals. No, 379 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 3: the Democrats will give in. Three Democrats voted to fund 380 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 3: the government. What will happen is the government is shut down. 381 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: People are gonna get ticked off, people are gonna want 382 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 3: to like use by the way, things like passport services 383 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 3: will be greatly reduced. All sorts of government. Now now listen, 384 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 3: the military keeps going, law enforcement keep going, Social Security 385 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 3: keeps going, Medicare keeps going, Medicaid keeps going. An awful 386 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 3: lot of government keeps going. But the lack of government 387 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 3: being open will be a serious function. And at some 388 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 3: point we will see seven or eight Democrats say enough 389 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: is enough, reopen the government. That will happen. But let 390 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 3: me tell you a huge piece that is an X 391 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: factor in this, which is Russ Vote, who is the 392 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 3: head of OMB, the Office of Management and Budget works 393 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: for the White House. He put out a memo a 394 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 3: week ago that said, if there is a government shutdown, 395 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: we are going to lay off federal workers. We're not 396 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 3: going to give them a furlough. 397 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: This is the brilliant game of chess that was early 398 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: on preemptive yep, warning you do this, and here's what 399 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: we were going to do. And this might be one 400 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: of the best moves I've seen politically in a long 401 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: time in DC, which is go ahead, do it and 402 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: watch what happens, because as a lot of people that are 403 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: gonna get lose their job, and that's going to be 404 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: on you guys for allowing it to happen. 405 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 2: Right, So explain all that. 406 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 3: Yes, So Russ is a good friend, he's a strong conservative, 407 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: he's a strong fiscal conservative. And what he said is, listen, 408 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 3: if Congress decides not to fund the federal government, we're 409 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 3: going to react to that. By the White House has 410 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 3: instructed every cabinet agency to prepare a plan for a 411 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 3: riff a reduction in force to give permanent layoffs pink 412 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 3: slips to government bureaucrats who are left wing bureaucrats who 413 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 3: are advancing the priorities of the Democrat Party. So what 414 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 3: you are going to see in the next few days, 415 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: you are going to see bureaucrats at the EPA fired. 416 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 3: You're going to see bureaucrats at the Department of Labor fired. 417 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 3: You're going to see bureaucrats at the RS fired. And 418 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 3: within a couple of days, we're going to see Democrat senators. 419 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 3: They're going to be in their lunches screaming at each 420 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 3: other because this is frankly an excuse for the Trump 421 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 3: administration to do what they wanted to do anyway, which 422 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 3: is get rid of left wing bureaucrats. But they now 423 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 3: have an incredible justification, which is, hey, Congress chose not 424 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: to fund them, so instead of giving them a paid vacation, 425 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: stay home several weeks and then we'll pay you back 426 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: pay and come back to your job. They're gonna even 427 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 3: pick slip and say you're done, you no longer have 428 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 3: a job. And I think that is going to ratchet 429 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 3: up the pressure on Democrats massively. 430 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: So how quickly can these firings take place? How massive 431 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: could they be today? And how much research has been 432 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: done behind the scenes to get rid of a lot 433 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: of these woke bureaucrats that we that we've been wanting 434 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: to get rid of, that the presidents wanting to get of, 435 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: the cabinet secretaries of wanting to get rid of like 436 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: how I mean, I'm assuming they're burning the midnight oil 437 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: kind of like doage did. Let's find the people we 438 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: want to get rid of and this is our chance 439 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: to do it, and we and by once it's done, 440 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: like it's not like he got one from their jobs back, 441 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: like it's done. 442 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 3: So I think that starts happening today. I think October one, 443 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: you start seeing pink slips. I think we will see 444 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 3: left wing bureaucrats fired today. I think we'll see them 445 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 3: fired tomorrow. You know. This evening, I had dinner with 446 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: the Deputy Secretary of HHS who's a longtime friend of mine. 447 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 3: He was actually a groomsm in my wedding. Great guy, 448 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 3: I asked him. I said, okay, the White House asked 449 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: every cabinet agency preparing list of people for the riff 450 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 3: and he said, yeah, we're doing that. He said, every agency, 451 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 3: when the White House directs us to do that, we 452 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 3: do that. We're going to see I think hundreds, if 453 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 3: not thousands, of left wing bureaucrats fired in the next 454 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 3: several days. I think that's going to put the Democrat 455 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: Party in crisis. And by the way, we're not going 456 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 3: to fire people that are critical for the priorities you 457 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 3: and care you and I care about. So we're not 458 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 3: going to see order patrol agents who are securing the 459 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 3: border fired We're not going to see ICE agents who 460 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 3: are deporting gang bangers fired. We're not going to see 461 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 3: FBI agents who are catching pedophiles, We're not going to 462 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 3: see them fired. We're not going to see soldiers and 463 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: sailors and airmen and marines who are keeping this nation safe, 464 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 3: We're not going to see them fired. We're going to 465 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 3: see bureaucrats who are shutting down factories, who are destroying jobs, 466 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 3: who are pursuing radical left wing agendas. They're going to 467 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 3: be the ones fired, and ultimately the Democrats are going 468 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 3: to cave. The only question is how long Schumer wants 469 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: to go through this charade before he gives. 470 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: In, which brings me my final question, that is the 471 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: media does seem to be covering this a little bit 472 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: more with honesty than I've ever seen them before. Today 473 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: there was a viral clip that is, the tables have 474 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: been turned. Democrats are now literally under fire for a 475 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: clip that shows them slamming government shut down tactics, the 476 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: same ones they're accused of using right now. And here's 477 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: what it sounded like back in twenty eighteen. In December 478 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, Donald Trumps President Chuck Schimer Nain's peosi 479 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: in the Oval office. 480 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 5: Listen, we do not want to shut down the government 481 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 5: because you can't shut down. 482 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: Can me say something, mister President North Dakota and. 483 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 4: The most Unfortunately, we came in here in good faith 484 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 4: and we're entering into this kind of a discussion in 485 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 4: the public. 486 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 2: Transparency. 487 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 4: I know, it's high transparency when we're not stipulating to 488 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 4: a set of facts. 489 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to that one. They're like, we're 490 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: not in favor of it. And then the speaker also 491 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: put out a very interesting yes video montage reminding people 492 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: the same thing, like, Hey, you guys think that it's 493 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats. Mike Johnson putting this out and here he 494 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: is and what he said to remind the people about 495 00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: Democrats in their own words, it is not. 496 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 3: Normal to shut down the government when we don't get 497 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: what we want. 498 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 5: If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans 499 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 5: who suffer most. A government shutdown means seniors who rely 500 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 5: on Social Security could be thrown into chaos. Families will 501 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 5: be hurt, Farmers will be hurt. 502 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 4: It's the service members who will work without a pay 503 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: check any It's the firefighters who will be furlough. 504 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: This shut down, you know who's going to feel the pain. 505 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 3: You know who it hurts you, everyday people and the 506 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 3: most vulnerable seniors, veterans, working families, hungary kids. 507 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 4: Y'all. 508 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 2: Democrats are signaling that they're ready for a fight this time. 509 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 5: Schumer tells me associated press, Well, things have changed. It 510 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 5: is not normal to shut down the government when we 511 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 5: don't get what we want. 512 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I love them using AOC's words. I feel 513 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: like the media has changed a little bit. Here your 514 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: thoughts on. 515 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 3: That, well, I'm impressed that you recognize AOC's voice. I 516 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 3: didn't know. I knew that was a shrill Democrat. I 517 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 3: didn't know who that was. So I appreciate that clarity. Listen, 518 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: every single Democrat, I think, without exception, has gone on 519 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 3: record being against shutdowns. The fact that they shut it 520 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 3: all down today demonstrates what utter hypocrites they are. And 521 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 3: I got to say as I was walking off the 522 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 3: Senate floor, so I voted to fund the government this afternoon. 523 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 3: The Democrats voted against it and caused a shut down. 524 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 3: All the reporters were circling, and their talking point that 525 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 3: they really wanted to press is they said Okay, Cruise. 526 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 3: In twenty thirteen, in the fight over Obamacare, you Ted 527 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 3: Cruz forced to shut down. Isn't that what the Democrats 528 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: are doing now? And I just started laughing at them, 529 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: and I said, look, number one. In twenty thirteen, when 530 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 3: I did a twenty one hour filibuster on the floor, 531 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: I was fighting for Americans. I was fighting for American 532 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 3: citizens whose healthcare premiums had skyrocketed. And they had skyrocketed 533 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 3: because Obamacare was a train wreck. It was a disaster. 534 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: It caused a massive increase in health insurance premiums. It 535 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 3: made the health insurance companies rich, and it made millions 536 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: of ordinary Americans unable to afford health insurance. And by 537 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 3: the way, I was also fighting for it at a 538 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: time when the House of Representatives that was Republican had 539 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 3: voted to fund the federal government, fund the entirety of 540 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 3: the federal government, but not fund Obamacare, so not fund 541 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 3: the law that was causing damage to American citizens. And 542 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: I said, here, what's happening is Chuck Schumer is shutting 543 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: down the federal government not to help American citizens who 544 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: were getting hurt, but he's shutting down the federal government 545 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 3: in order to help millions of illegal aliens and give 546 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 3: them free health care. And he's willing to shut down 547 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 3: your federal government to give free health care to illegals, 548 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: and that fundamentally there's a hypocrisy to it. And I 549 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 3: also said, you know, the reporters were like, isn't it 550 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 3: the same? And I said, listen, let me be clear. 551 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 3: In twenty thirteen, it was Chuck Schumer who shut the 552 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: government down. Then I was trying to fund the entirety 553 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 3: of the federal government except for Obamacare, and Chuck Schumer 554 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: and Harry Reid decided, no, we'll shut it all down 555 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 3: because we care so much about socialized medicine. And I 556 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 3: told the reporters we had like fifty reporters standing outside 557 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 3: the Senate Florida. I said, look, none of you guys 558 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 3: reported that. You all blamed the shutdown on me because 559 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 3: you're all left wing hacks. Today, all of you are 560 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: still left wing hacks. You agree with the Democrats, But 561 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 3: the facts are so overwhelming. It is Chuck Schumer and 562 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 3: the Democrats who are shutting the government down that even 563 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 3: you dishonest liars are reporting. This is the Schumer shutdown 564 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: because the House has funded the government exactly the status quo. 565 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: The funding yesterday has continued to tomorrow. It is the 566 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 3: Democrats who said let's shut it down, and I think 567 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: at the end of the day they're going to lose 568 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 3: that battle. But this is what you got to ask 569 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 3: yourself is how long do the Democrats have to perform 570 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 3: for their crazy left wing activists before they allow the 571 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 3: government to reopen. 572 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and 573 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: your friends wherever they are, and I will see you 574 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: back here tomorrow.
