1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: It is official at twelve oh one am. The governments 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: shut down. Why because Democrats are holding Americans hostage, refusing 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: to do what Republicans did seven times during the Biden 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: administration simply agreed to a continuing resolution until the broader 5 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: government plan, the financial plan could be agreed to. But 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: this time the Democrats said no. Why they want to 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: hurt Americans and they want to put illegal immigrants first. 8 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: We have a lot to talk about when it comes 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 1: to what all happened. And now this all comes down 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: to the Senate because the overall plan has already made 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: its way out of the House. 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 2: So what is next? 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: But first I want to talk to you about my 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: friends over at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: choices for cell phone service, with new ones popping up 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: all the time. But if you want to make a 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: difference and you want to stop giving your money to 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: liberal companies, well way you can do that is by 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: getting rid of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. 20 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: That is where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: coming together and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: They've been in service now for thirteen years, and right 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: now is the best time ever to switch because it's 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: never been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: I want you to know why switching is so important. 26 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: Because every time you make a call, every time you 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: send a text, and every time that you pay your bill, 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in. 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: Your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of 30 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: unborn children. And you stand with our military, our veterans, 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it 34 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now, 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade. 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile's got one hundred percent US based customer service 38 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: team and literally they can now with technology, get you 39 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: activated in minutes from the comfort your home or your office. 40 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: You're second a contractor owe money on your phones, no worries. 41 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program and this is 42 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: how we win, folks by aligning our spinning with our values. 43 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: Every dollar we spend matters.

So the 52 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: government is shut down right now, and the question is 53 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: where do we go from here. I want you to 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: hear what Senator Cruz had to say, because all this 55 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: revolved around what's happening in the Senate. The United States 56 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: government is shut down. The Democrats they did it on purpose, 57 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: apparently it was their plan. And the question is for 58 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: how long have they been planning on doing this? Center 59 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: This is going to be a very interesting show. This 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: all revolves around the Senate. That is something that maybe 61 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: some people don't realize. Everything's come out of the House. 62 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: We're now to the Senate side of things, and I 63 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: want you to explain what it was like in the 64 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: hours leading up to the shutdown. Was there ever a 65 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: chance in hell that the government wasn't going to shut down? 66 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: No, that there was never a chance. It is just 67 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: after midnight, so the government is shut down just for 68 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: a few minutes. But I think the government shutdown is 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: going to last at a minimum of days. It may 70 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 3: be weeks, and it may even be longer. Really, yes, 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: this could extend for a significant period of time. And 72 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: understand this is the Democrats roar that they hate Donald Trump. 73 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: So I got to say. We had the vote tonight. 74 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: There was no surprise. Everyone knew the outcome. Out of 75 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: one hundred senators, all of us knew the outcome. The 76 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: vote was fifty five to forty five. So three Democrat 77 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 3: senators voted to keep the government open. 78 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: You have it was a pretty big deal, right, I mean, 79 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: did you think those three were going to go? 80 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: Where? Did you think it was going to be a 81 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: unanimous vote? 82 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean Fetterman and two others like that's that is significant. 83 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, Fetterman, I was not surprised. So Fetterman voted 84 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: to keep the government open, courtes Master voter to keep 85 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: the government open, and Angus King voted to keep the 86 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: government open. That's not shocking to me. It's fifty five 87 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 3: to forty five. Now, why did the government shut down? Look, 88 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 3: the basic operation of government is the federal government cannot 89 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: continue to operate unless Congress appropriates funds. Under the Constitution, 90 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: Congress has the power of the perse, so Congress appropriates 91 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: the spending of money. A typical fiscal year is October 92 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: first to September thirtieth. 93 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: YEP. 94 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: This particular funding ended at midnight on September thirtieth. You 95 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: and I are recording this just after minutes after midnight 96 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: on September thirtieth. The appropriation, the authorization for Congress to 97 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: spend money expired minutes ago. Now, there are a couple 98 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: of ways you can extend the government funding. 99 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: One is an. 100 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: Appropriation and so they're typically in a good year. They 101 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: are thirteen appropriation bills that fund each different kind of 102 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: major segment of government. For a number of years, the 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: appropriation bills have not passed. The other major way that 104 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 3: government authorization occurs is through what are called crs. CR 105 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: is short for continual resolution. A continued resolution is essentially 106 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 3: Congress saying what we are spending now, now we can 107 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: continue continue the status quo identically for x period of time. Now, 108 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: the House of Representatives pasted a CR, a clean CR 109 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: to fund the federal government through the middle of November. 110 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: So if the Senate had passed it. 111 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: Oh, let's be clear. 112 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: When you say a clean CR, that means no political 113 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: shenanigans in it. It's literally saying, we're taking the twenty 114 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: five budget year and we're going to say the exact 115 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: same amount we spent in August, we're gonna spend September, October, 116 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: November until we get the new budget. There is no 117 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 1: port barrel extras, there's no political sag against from either side. 118 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, okay. A clean CR says what we 119 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 3: spent yesterday is what we'll spend tomorrow, that everything just 120 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: continues the same, and that's what the House has passed. Now. 121 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: The challenge is for anything to pass the Senate that 122 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: is in the nature of an appropriations or a CR, 123 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: it takes sixty votes because under the filibuster rule, you've 124 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: got to have sixty votes to move forward on legislation. So, 125 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: as I mentioned, we got fifty five, we got three Democrats, 126 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 3: but we need sixty, which means we need at least 127 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: seven Democrats. And actually here we need eight Democrats because 128 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: Ran Paul voted no. So we had fifty two Republicans 129 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: vote yes, and we needed eight Democrats to vote yes 130 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: to fund the government. Well we only got three. 131 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: And that was on purpose. 132 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: And I want to pause just for a second to 133 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: go back to the cr historically. Let's just go back 134 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: to Biden's time in office when you guys were in 135 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: the minority. If I'm not mistaken, you guys did this 136 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: more than a dozen times where you came to. 137 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: Go and say, hey, matained a thirteen time. 138 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: All right, So thirteen different times y'all came together and 139 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: said we're gonna spend exactly what we spent yesterday to 140 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: keep the government open so we avoid a government shut down. 141 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: And you put the America can people ahead of politics, 142 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: and that is a bipartisan moment, right, They had to 143 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: have some of your votes. 144 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: So look, every time we came to the end of 145 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: government funding, you would have enough Republicans join with Democrats 146 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: to keep the government funded. Now what has changed, Well, 147 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: several months ago we had another expiration of government funding. 148 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: And what happened is Chuck Schumer and the Democrats decided, okay, 149 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: let's keep the government going a very reasonable and very 150 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: common sense, a very normal decision. The Democratic left wing 151 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: base lost their mind and Chuck Schumer nearly lost his 152 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: job because Schumer allowed the government to be funded several 153 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: months ago. The left wing rose up against him. And 154 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: you want to understand why we have a shutdown. It's 155 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: one thing. Schumer is looking over his left shoulder and 156 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: he sees AOC running up behind him, and he is 157 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: terrified he's going to lose his job. So listen, Schumer 158 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 3: knows this is not going to work. He knows this 159 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 3: is failures. 160 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: Just pure cover your als politics one oh one by Schumer. 161 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: So the radical left wing, they hate Trump and they 162 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: want today to be a giant f you to Trump. 163 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 3: They want it to be we hate President Trump, and 164 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: we hate President Trump so much we're gonna shut the 165 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 3: entire government down because rar that's what we're watching now. 166 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: By the way, So then hold on, when did this 167 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: become the plan? 168 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: Was this weeks ago? 169 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: Months ago? Was this when they had the last year? 170 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: As I got the next time it comes up, I 171 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: have no choice. I got to shut down the government 172 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: to flex my muscles. And also there is a real 173 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: concern by him that AOC is going to run against him, 174 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: primary him in the Senate. By the way, that is 175 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: after the next president's election cycle? 176 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 4: Was that? 177 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: And that isn't he up two years after? If I'm 178 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: not mistaken, So you got five plus years from now. 179 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 3: So, and to be clear, I have predicted on this 180 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 3: podcast the inaugural member the chairman of the AOC for 181 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: President campaign is Chuck Schumer because he is desperate for 182 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: AOC not to primary him. Yea, He's gonna say, Alexandra, 183 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 3: you are such a big deal, you were so important. Really, 184 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: the Senate's too small for you. Why do you want 185 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 3: to bother being in the Senate? You should be in 186 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 3: the White House. Schumer is going to be all in 187 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: on that, but he is living with absolute PTSD. He 188 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 3: is traumatized. He sees left wing antifa crazies coming around 189 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: on every side, and so from his end, this shutdown 190 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: is necessary politically. Now, what did the Democrats demand? They 191 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 3: demanded a lot of things, you know what the number 192 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: one demand was. 193 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: What's that? 194 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: Free healthcare for illegals all over the country. 195 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: By the way, I mean, when you think about that 196 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: and the polling data and what it says, I don't 197 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: understand why that would make your nonumber one thing, because 198 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: it's clear that the people are behind President Trump. Securing 199 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: our borders, stopping government waste for aunt of abuse dogs 200 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: was a big part of it. And also making sure 201 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: that we're not giving out benefits to illegal immigrants. So like, no, no, no, no, 202 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: we want to spend one point five trillion if you 203 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: want our votes, and it has to be for health 204 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: care for illegal immigrants and food stamps for people that 205 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: are able bodied, for example, that refuse to work. That's 206 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: another thing, and they're like, no, no, no, we buy gal. 207 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: You better get mind to people that are just straight 208 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: up lazy, that aren't that that have the ability to work, 209 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: but you got to pay them to stay home. 210 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. A huge pump chunk of this is getting rid 211 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: of the work requirement for government benefits. Democrats don't want 212 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: anyone to have to work. They wanted them to be 213 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 3: able to sit at home and get government checks. But 214 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: did you see the AI video the White House put out? 215 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: Which one? They put out a couple different things. Which 216 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: one are you talking about? 217 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: I want you, I want I want to play this 218 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: for everyone. Okay, this is fake, So so all the 219 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 3: nattering nabobs, this is fake news, but it is absolutely hysterical. 220 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 3: The White House put out This is Chuck Schumer and 221 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: a Keem Jeffries explaining what this shutdown is all about. 222 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: Take a listen to this. 223 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 5: Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes 224 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all 225 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 5: of our woke trans bullsh Not even black people want 226 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 5: to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. 227 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: So we need new voters. 228 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 5: And if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare, 229 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 5: we might be able to get them on our side 230 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 5: so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English, 231 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 5: so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke 232 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 5: pieces of shit, you know, at least for a while 233 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 5: until they learn English and they realize they hate us too. 234 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: See, this is when I love AI. This is when 235 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: I absolutely love the spear from the President. And if 236 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: you can't see this, you need to go look at it. 237 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: We put up on social media, the videos and Jeffries 238 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: has got a really nice Hannibar mustache and a sombrero on. 239 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 3: So look, pause for a second and realize that was 240 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: released by the White House. That was released by the 241 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: President of the United States. I feel a little guilty 242 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: because we've got some cursewords in there. We try to 243 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: avoid cursewords on this podcast. But what do you do 244 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: when the president has put that out? 245 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: You pay it. 246 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 3: And I gotta say the video sits today at lunch. 247 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: So every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, all the Republican senators 248 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: have lunch together. Today at lunch, John Thune met with 249 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: the President, met with Schumer, met with the King Jeffries 250 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: at the White House. And so Thune was giving us 251 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 3: a download on that. And you know, Thune was talking about, Okay, 252 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: the Democrats, they don't want to cut a deal. They're 253 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: not willing to give it on anything. And I will confess. 254 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: I raised my hand. 255 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: I question. 256 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 3: I said, John was a King Jeffries wearing the sombrero. 257 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: And what did he say? 258 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 3: He just laughed. But look and and everyone cracked up. 259 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: But that image. Listen, the Democrats have literally shut down 260 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 3: the federal government because they want free health care for 261 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 3: every illegal alien in America. Yeah, you want to talk about, 262 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 3: like on every issue that's eighty twenty or even ninety ten, 263 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: they're on the twenty or the ten side. The American 264 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: people do not support if you want to have a 265 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: referendum in this country, should we give illegals free health care? Wow? 266 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: That will be overwhelming. 267 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: But here's the secret. 268 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 3: This shutdown is not actually about free health care for illegals. 269 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 3: That's what the Democrats have hung their hat on because 270 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: they got to say they want. 271 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: Some they gotta say something, right. 272 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: This is all about just we hate Donald Trump and 273 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: it is Chuck Schumer job preservation. And that also means 274 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: the end of this. Okay, there's no universe in which 275 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer will get President Trump to agree to let's 276 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: give free health care to illegals. 277 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, not going to happen. They know that, Yeah, they're entering. 278 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: There's no universe in which Republicans in Congress are going 279 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: to say, hey, that's a great idea, let's give free 280 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: health care to every illegal. Like that's you might as 281 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: well ask for Area fifty one, like to release the 282 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: Martians and let them take over the country. That is 283 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: as likely to happen as free health care for illegals 284 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 3: from Republicans. The Democrats know that this is not about 285 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: getting what they're demanding. This is about how long do 286 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 3: they want to demonstrate Orange Man bade and so. 287 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: Do you actually believe And let's go back to the 288 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: history of the Senate here. I don't believe that Chuck 289 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: Schumer actually wanted to shut down the government now, No, 290 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: I think he was forced to do it. 291 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, he would lose his job. He would lose his 292 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: job if the government was Yes. 293 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: In other words, this is weird. 294 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is being held hostage by the Marxist communists 295 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: and socialists in his party, which they did not police 296 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: and they allowed to take over their party. Then he's 297 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: now holding the American people hostage with a government shutdown, 298 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: which brings me the big question. Even when we've had 299 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: shutdowns in the past, there has been some agreement center like, hey, 300 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: certain people should deserve to get paid, those that are 301 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: in the military, those badges, like the list is not 302 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: that long, but the essential important people that deserve to 303 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: get a paycheck. We don't screw with them when they're 304 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: protecting to fing this country. Can you guys, at least 305 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: was there an agreement to pay them? 306 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: Really? 307 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so walk us through that, because I'm assuming that 308 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: came up at lunch. 309 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 3: So one of the things I did today is I 310 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 3: sent a letter because under the Constitution, members of Congress, 311 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 3: our pay cannot be stopped. It's actually unconstitutional to reduce 312 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: the compensation for members of Congress during the term we're 313 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 3: elected to. So I sent a letter, and I've done 314 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: this during every shutdown, saying while the government is shut down, 315 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 3: don't pay me. It's not fair. It's not right for 316 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: an elected member of Congress to receive a paycheck when 317 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 3: federal workers are not. Now, to be clear, I don't 318 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: lose my pay when the shutdown is over. 319 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: I'll get it's just deferred. But it's deferred. 320 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't understand that the long 321 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: which I think just asinine, and I have family members 322 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: work in the federal government, and they're like, the dumb 323 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: part about this that I think a lot of Americans 324 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: don't understand, yep, is that you don't miss a paycheck 325 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: in your calendar year. You just miss a month and 326 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: then you get it back data, you get it back 327 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: the next time whenever the government does open back up. 328 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: And so I know people that are in the FA 329 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: for example, they're like, dude, we just plan our vacations 330 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: like great trips around shutdowns because we know we're still 331 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: getting paid. We save not everybody can do that, but 332 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: like they've all was pre planned for this bonus vacation 333 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: and they're gonna get paid back. 334 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, but let me make several points of clarification. Sure 335 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 3: number one, government shut down as a misnomer. More than 336 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 3: eighty percent of the government will continue to operate. So 337 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: the basic principle is everything that is essential keeps going. 338 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 3: So the military, our activity and military like defending the 339 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 3: nation against bad guys, that keeps going. The FBI catching criminals, 340 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 3: that keeps going. The border patrol and ice that keeps going. 341 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: The FAA air traffic controllers. Tomorrow, if you get on 342 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 3: an airplane, the air traffic controllers all go to work. 343 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: By the way, the air traffic controllers are not getting 344 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 3: a paycheck, so they're going to work. But every two 345 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 3: weeks federal government employees get paid. Air traffic controllers, coast guardsmen, military, 346 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: the federal government nobody gets a paycheck. And so what 347 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: show down. Every cabinet secretary was assigned designate among your 348 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: employees who is essential and who is not essential. I 349 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 3: remember when Bill Clinton was president, we had to shut down. 350 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 3: Then remember Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress were fighting 351 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 3: with Bill Clinton. We had to shut down for a 352 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 3: number of weeks, and I remember there was a headline 353 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: that said the Department of Commerce designated thirty percent of 354 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 3: their employees is essential and seventy percent is not essential. 355 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 3: I remember thinking, that's great, we just set a new 356 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 3: benchline all those non essential. That's seventy percent they ought 357 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: to be done. But what that means, so what will 358 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 3: be shut down? Starting October one? National parks will be 359 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 3: shut down. So I got to say, if you were 360 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 3: planning to take your family to Yosemite this weekend, I'm 361 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: sorry to say you're out of luck. Yosemite will be closed. 362 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 3: If you were coming to d C to tour our 363 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 3: nation's capital, you wanted to go to the Smithsonian, go 364 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,479 Speaker 3: to the Air and Space Museum, it's the Smithsonian will 365 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 3: be shut down. 366 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: Uh. 367 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 3: If you look at things like the National Institute of Health, 368 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 3: like research on cancer, much of that will be shut down. 369 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: All across that's non essential. When people are just say 370 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: that seems insane. Why wouldn't we fix that to make 371 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: sure when we have these shenanigans happen that that's not affected. 372 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 3: And I think this shutdown will extend. I think it'll 373 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: be weeks. I think it will be Schumer is trying 374 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 3: to protect his own rear end and everything else is 375 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: secondary to protecting his own political life. So I think 376 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 3: we will see an extended shutdown. 377 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 2: So is this polling? 378 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 4: Then? 379 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you decide when you won or 380 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: you lost if you're Schumer, Because this is not about 381 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: the country hating Schumer. This is only about New York. 382 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm protecting a seat from AOC. So in essence, you 383 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: don't care how many people hate you in the country. 384 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: It's only a New York thing, is that. I mean, well, 385 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: they do polling. I mean this is weird. 386 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, so this is being called the Schumer shutdown. Yeah, 387 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 3: and I gotta say the Democrats are losing the messaging battle. 388 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: It is clear this is a Democrat shutdown. There was 389 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 3: actually exchange right before we had the vote on the 390 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 3: CR to keep the government open, and this is a 391 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 3: clean CR. No rioters, no nothing, this is just keep 392 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 3: every keep the lights on, status quo. Schumer stood up 393 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 3: and was speaking, and all the senators or most of 394 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 3: us were standing on the Senate floor, and Schumer said, look, 395 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 3: there's been reference to polling. But the polling has been biased. 396 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: It's been right wing polling, for example, the New York Times. 397 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 3: And I got to tell you, I and every other 398 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 3: Republican we just started cracking up, laughing, and you could 399 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 3: see Schumer. He actually turned red. He looked sheepish because 400 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 3: he just said on the Senate floor that the New 401 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 3: York Times was a biased right wing poll. Yeah. And 402 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 3: it was a moment where where like Schumer, you saw 403 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 3: Democrats looking at him going, dude, you look like that's weak. 404 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 3: And that's because the New York Times did a poll 405 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 3: if the Democrats don't get everything they want, should they 406 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 3: shut the government down? And sixty five percent of Americans 407 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 3: said no, don't shut the government down. It was a 408 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: small percentage. It was just over twenty percent of Americans 409 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 3: that said yes, shut the government down. So that's who 410 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 3: the Democrats are responding to. But they've got Schumer's message 411 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 3: is the New York Times is a right wing mouthpiece, 412 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 3: and how dare you tell the American people that we 413 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 3: the Democrats, are shutting the government down. This is headed 414 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 3: to failure. Everyone knows that, every Republican knows that, every 415 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 3: Democrat knows that is there an outcome where Republicans say, okay, great, 416 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: let's fund healthcare free illegals. No, the Democrats will give in. 417 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 3: Three Democrats voted to fund the government. What will happen 418 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: is the government is shut down. People are gonna get 419 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 3: ticked off, people are gonna want to like us. By 420 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 3: the way, things like passport services will be greatly reduced. 421 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: All sorts of government. Now listen, the military keeps going, 422 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 3: law enforcement keep going, Social Security keeps going, Medicare keeps going, 423 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: Medicaid keeps going. An awful lot of government keeps going. 424 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 3: But the lack of government being open will be a 425 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 3: serious function. And at some point we will see seven 426 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 3: or eight Democrats say enough is enough, reopen the government. 427 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: That will happen. 428 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: But let me tell you a huge piece that is 429 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: an X factor in this, which is Russ Vote, who 430 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 3: is the head of OMB, the Office of Management and 431 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: Budget works for the White House. He put out a 432 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: memo a week ago that said, if there is a 433 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: government shutdown, we are going to lay off federal workers. 434 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: We're not going to give them a furlough. 435 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: This is the brilliant game of chess that was early 436 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: on preemptive yep, warning you do this, and here's what 437 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: we were going to do. And this might be one 438 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: of the best moves I've seen politically in a long 439 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: time in DC, which is go ahead, do it and 440 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: watch what happens, because as a lot of people that are 441 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: going to get loser jobs, and that's going to be 442 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: on you guys for allowing it to happen. 443 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: Right, So explain all that. 444 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 3: Yes, So Russ is a good friend, he's a strong conservative, 445 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 3: he's a strong fiscal conservative. And what he said is, listen, 446 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 3: if Congress decides not to fund the federal government, we're 447 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 3: going to react to that. By the White House is 448 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 3: instructed every cabinet agency to prepare a plan for a 449 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 3: riff a reduction in force to give permanent layoffs pink 450 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 3: slips to government bureaucrats who are left wing bureaucrats who 451 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 3: are advancing the priorities of the Democrat Party. So what 452 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: you are going to see in the next few days, 453 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 3: You're going to see bureaucrats at the EPA fired. You're 454 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 3: gonna see bureaucrats at the Department of Labor fired. You're 455 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 3: gonna see bureaucrats at the RS fired. And within a 456 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: couple of days we're gonna see Democrat senators. They're gonna 457 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 3: be in their lunches screaming at each other because this 458 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 3: is frankly an excuse for the Trump administration to do 459 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: what they wanted to do anyway, which is get rid 460 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 3: of left wing bureaucrats. But they now have an incredible justification, 461 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 3: which is, hey, Congress chose not to fund them, so 462 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 3: instead of giving them a paid vacation, stay home several 463 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 3: weeks and then we'll pay you back pay and come 464 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 3: back to your job. They're gonna even pick slip and 465 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: say you're done. You no longer have a job. And 466 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 3: I think that is going to ratchet up the pressure 467 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 3: on Democrats massively. 468 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: So how quickly can these firings take place? How massive 469 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: could they be today? And how much research has been 470 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: done behind the scenes to get rid of a lot 471 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: of these woke bureaucrats that we that we've been wanting 472 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: to get rid of, that the President's wanting to get 473 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: the cabinet secretaries of wanting to get rid of, like 474 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming they're burning the midnight oil kind 475 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: of like doag did. Let's find the people we want 476 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: to get rid of. And this is our chance to 477 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: do it. And and by the way, once it's done, 478 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: like it's not like he got from their jobs back 479 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: like it's done. 480 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 3: So I think that starts happening today. I think October one, 481 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 3: you start seeing pink slips. I think we will see 482 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: left wing bureaucrats fired today. I think we'll see them 483 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 3: fired tomorrow. 484 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: You know. 485 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 3: This evening, I had dinner with the Deputy Secretary of 486 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 3: HHS who's a longtime friend of mine. He was actually 487 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 3: a groom some in my wedding. Great guy, I asked him. 488 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: I said, okay, the White House asked every cabinet agency 489 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: preparing list of people for the riff, and he said, yeah, 490 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: we're doing that. He said, every agency, when the White 491 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 3: House directs us to do that, we do that. We're 492 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 3: going to see I think one hundred, if not thousands, 493 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: of left wing bureaucrats fired in the next several days. 494 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 3: I think that's going to put the Democrat Party in crisis. 495 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 3: And by the way, we're not going to fire people 496 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 3: that are critical for the priorities you care you and 497 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 3: I care about. So we're not going to see border 498 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 3: patrol agents who are securing the border fired. We're not 499 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 3: going to see ICE agents who are deporting gang bangers fired. 500 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 3: We're not going to see FBI agents who are catching pedophiles. 501 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 3: We're not going to see them fired. We're not going 502 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: to see soldiers and sailors and airmen and marines who 503 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 3: are keeping this nation safe, We're not going to see 504 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: them fired. We're going to see bureaucrats who are shutting 505 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 3: down factories, who are destroying jobs, who are pursuing radical 506 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 3: left wing agendas. They're going to be the ones fired, 507 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 3: and ultimately the Democrats are going to cave. The only 508 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 3: question is how long Schumer wants to go through this 509 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 3: charade before he gives in. 510 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: Brings me my final question, that is the media does 511 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: seem to be covering this a little bit more with 512 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: honesty than I've ever seen them before. Today there was 513 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: a viral clip that is, the tables have been turned. 514 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: Democrats are now literally under fire, uh for a clip 515 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: that shows them slamming government shut down tactics, the same 516 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: ones they're accused of using right now. And here's what 517 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: it sounded like back in twenty eighteen. In December of 518 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, Donald Trump was president. Chuck Schimer Nain's Posi 519 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: in the Oval office. 520 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 5: Listen, we do not want to shut down the government 521 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 5: because you can't you shut it down. Yeah, let me 522 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 5: say something, mister President North Dakota. 523 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 4: Most unfortunate that we came in here in good faith 524 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 4: and we're entering into this kind of a discussion in 525 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 4: the public. 526 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 2: Transparency. 527 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 4: I know, it's high transparency when we're not stipulating to 528 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 4: a set of facts. 529 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to that one. They're like, we're 530 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: not in favor of it. And then the speaker also 531 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:04,719 Speaker 1: put out a very inter yes video montage reminding people 532 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: the same thing, like, Hey, you guys think that it's 533 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats. Mike Johnson putting this out and here he 534 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: is and what he said to remind the people about 535 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: Democrats in their own words, it is not. 536 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 5: Normal to shut down the government when we don't get 537 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 5: what we want. If the government shuts down, it will 538 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 5: be average Americans who suffer most. A government shutdown means 539 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 5: seniors who rely on Social Security could be thrown into chaos. 540 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 5: Families will be hurt, Farmers will be hurt. 541 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: It's the service members who will work without a pay chet, 542 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 4: It's the firefighters who will be furlough the shut down. 543 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 2: You know who's gonna feel the pain. You know who 544 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 2: it hurts you. 545 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 3: Everyday people and the most vulnerable seniors, veterans, work in families, 546 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 3: hungary kids, y'all. 547 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: Democratic signal in that they're ready fight this time. 548 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 5: Schuma tells the Associated Press, Well, things have changed. It 549 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 5: is not normal to shut down the government when we 550 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 5: don't get what we want. 551 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I love them using AOC's words. I feel 552 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: like the media has changed a little bit. 553 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: Here your thoughts. 554 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 3: On that, well, I'm impressed that you recognize AOC's voice. 555 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 2: I didn't know. 556 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 3: I knew that was a shrill Democrat. I didn't know 557 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 3: who that was. So I appreciate that clarity. Listen, every 558 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: single Democrat, I think, without exception, has gone on record 559 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: being against shutdowns. The fact that they shut it all 560 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 3: down today demonstrates what utter hypocrites they are. And I 561 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 3: got to say as I was walking off the Senate floor, 562 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 3: so I voted to fund the government this afternoon. The 563 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 3: Democrats voted against it and caused a shut down. All 564 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: the reporters were circling and they're talking. Point that they 565 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 3: really wanted to press is they said, Okay, Cruz in 566 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 3: twenty thirteen in the over Obamacare, you Ted Cruz forced 567 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 3: to shut down. Isn't that what the Democrats are doing now? 568 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 3: And I just started laughing at them, and I said, look, 569 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 3: number one, in twenty thirteen, when I did a twenty 570 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: one hour filibuster on the floor, I was fighting for Americans. 571 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 3: I was fighting for American citizens whose healthcare premiums had skyrocketed. 572 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 3: And they had skyrocketed because Obamacare was a train wreck. 573 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: It was a disaster. It caused a massive increase in 574 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 3: health insurance premiums. It made the health insurance companies rich, 575 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 3: and it made millions of ordinary Americans unable to afford 576 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 3: health insurance. And by the way, I was also fighting 577 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 3: for it at a time when the House of Representatives 578 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 3: that was Republican had voted to fund the federal government, 579 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 3: fund the entirety of the federal government, but not fund Obamacare, 580 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 3: so not fund the law that was causing damage to 581 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 3: American citizens. And I said, here, what's happening is Chuck 582 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 3: Schumer is shutting down the federal government not to help 583 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 3: American citizens who are getting hurt. But he's shutting down 584 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 3: the federal government in order to help millions of illegal 585 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 3: aliens and give them free healthcare. And he's willing to 586 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 3: shut down your federal government to give free health care 587 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 3: to illegals, and that fundamentally there's a hypocrisy to it. 588 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 3: And I also said, you know, the reporters were like, 589 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: isn't it the same, And I said, listen, let me 590 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 3: be clear. In twenty thirteen, it was Chuck Schumer who 591 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 3: shut the government down. Then I was trying to fund 592 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 3: the entirety of the federal government except for Obamacare, and 593 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,239 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid decided, no, we'll shut it 594 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 3: all down because we care so much about socialized medicine. 595 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 3: And I told the reporters we had like fifty reporters 596 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 3: standing outside the Senate Florida. I said, look, none of 597 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 3: you guys reported that. You all blamed the shutdown on me, 598 00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 3: because you're all left wing hacks. Today, all of you 599 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 3: are still left wing hacks. You agree with the Democrats. 600 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 3: But the facts are so overwhelming. It is Chuck Schumer 601 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 3: and the Democrats who are shutting the government down that 602 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 3: even you dishonest liars are reporting this is the Schumer 603 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 3: shutdown because the House has funded the government exactly the 604 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 3: status quo. The funding yesterday has continued to tomorrow. It 605 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 3: is the Democrats who said let's shut it down, and 606 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day they're going 607 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 3: to lose that battle. But this is what you got 608 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 3: to ask yourself is how long do the Democrats have 609 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 3: to perform for their crazy left wing activists before they 610 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 3: allow the government to reopen. 611 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and 612 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: your friends wherever they are, and I will see you 613 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: back here tomorrow.
