WEBVTT - Democrat Infighting Fuels Government Shutdown 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.800 Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine four one. 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:05.160 Shawn is on number if you want to be a 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.119 part of the program. Former House Speaker KNW. King Rich, 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:12.400 you know, blaming obviously the ongoing shutdown, the radicals have 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.959 taken over the Democratic Party and blaming Schumer and said 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.840 Schumer saw this as an opportunity to hold the entire 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.640 country hostage to prove that Democrats could get a supposed win. 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:28.960 This has been Schumer his position on government shutdowns the 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.880 entire time he's been in the US Senate. This is 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:37.519 critical to understanding, you know, how dominant the mom Donnie 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:42.640 aoc Wing, Jasmine Crockett squad wing is and how powerful 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.280 they are that Schumer is leader in name only like 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.240 Hakeem Jeffrey's leader in name only. 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.800 Listen, what if I persuaded my call is to say 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.320 I'm going to shut the government down. I am going 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.920 to not pay our bills unless I. 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:56.400 Get my way. 0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:01.200 It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. It's 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.320 sort of like this, someone goes into your house, takes 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.520 your wife and children hostage, and then says, let's negotiate 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.679 over the price of your house. You know, we could 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.080 do the same thing on immigration. We could we believe 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.759 strongly in immigration reform. We could say we're shutting down 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.920 the government. We're not going to raise the debt ceiling 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.040 until you pass immigration reform. It would be governmental chaos. 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.640 Speaker McCarthy needs to stop letting the MAGA radicals drive 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.920 his decisions and do the obvious and sensible thing, follow 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:34.039 the Senate's lead and pass a bipartisan cr to prevent 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.400 this reckless shutdown. We do not want to let a 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:42.880 Trump temper tantrum govern our policies or cause the shutdown 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.959 of a government which everyone on both sides of the 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.680 aisles knows is the wrong idea. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.720 All right, So that's been his history until now. Now 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.320 it's fascinating to watch this unfold because Democrats are at 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.680 each other's throat, because now you have, you know, enough 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.280 Democrats in the Senate to open up the government. We 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.920 see what's happening with their traffic controllers with snap benefits, 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.960 forty two million Americans impacted by that. Hakim Jeffrey's, when 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.919 pressed on supporting a bill that would include Obamacare subsidies, 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.240 says that they're not prepared to support a promise from folks. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.920 This is their healthcare bill. It's called Obamacare. They're the 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.600 ones that shoved it down our nation's throat, and John 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.800 McCain then, unfortunately had the opportunity to get rid of it, 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.320 and his animist towards Donald Trump got in the way. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.519 Listen to Hakeem another Leader in name only, Leader Jeffery 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.680 is just very quickly yes or no? Do you rule 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.480 out supporting a bill that would include a promise to 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.280 vote on Obamacare subsidies? 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:47.440 Yes or no. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.600 I don't think that. I don't think that the House 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.959 Democratic Caucus is prepared to support a promise, a wing, 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.000 and a prayer from folks who have been devastating the 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.480 healthcare of the American people for years. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.320 They're the ones that passed the bill. I kept warning 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.240 at the time Obamacare would be a disaster. You know, 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.959 millions lost their doctors, millions lost their plans. Forty plus 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.639 percent of the country has one Obamacare exchange option. And 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.160 you know the big promise, the average family will save 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.080 twenty five hundred dollars per family per year. Every family's 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.480 paying over three hundred percent more. Here's Achem Jeffries again, 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.359 Leader in name Only, No matter what legislation comes from 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.920 the Senate, they're voting no, doesn't matter what they pass. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.440 And far too many people are struggling to live paycheck 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:43.640 to paycheck. They can't thrive, they can barely survive. And 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.640 that's why Democrats have been waging this fight, and we'll 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.520 continue to wage this fight no matter what comes over 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.960 to us from the United States Senate to the House 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.760 of Representatives at some point this week. And so as 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.800 House Democrats, we know we're on the right side of 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.640 this fight, the right side of the American people, and 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.160 we're not going to support partisan Republican spending bill that 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.000 continues to gut the healthcare of the American people. And 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.160 we're going to continue the fight to extend the Affordable 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.240 Care Act tax credits. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:22.000 Now, remember they're looking to extend health benefits that were 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:27.400 designed to be temporary for COVID for people eight hundred 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:32.040 percent above the poverty line. Okay, that is unsustainable. They're 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.080 demanding to keep the government open seven weeks, one and 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.640 a half trillion dollars, including health care for illegal immigrants, 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:45.480 including funding MPR and PBS, including DEI programs abroad. That's 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.520 all been part of their spending plan. The problem they 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.640 have is the party has been radicalized. Even Tim Kaine, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.400 you know, who represents Virginia and all the DC employees 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.080 in his state that have been laid off. He voted 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.000 in the shutdown because it's not working any way. Joining 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.120 us now, Senator Mark Wayne mull and our friend from Oklahoma, 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:08.800 Senator how. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.680 Are you, Sean? I'm doing good. How are you doing? 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:12.960 I'm good? 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.000 Ten days in the Senate, but at least finally you 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.400 make the progress. You know, I've never been a big 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.479 believer that government shutdowns matter much until we get but 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.200 we've never had one goal this long and it be 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.800 this impactful to so many Americans at once. 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:27.800 This is getting bad. 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:33.800 Yeah, right today, we're going to have more cancellations on 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.240 flights than anytime in the American history other than nine 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.960 to eleven. And it's all because of the shutdown that 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.400 we find ourselves in. And now the Democrats and by 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.000 the way, the Democrats didn't get anything to reopen the government. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:50.400 Leader Thune offered them a ACA vote, but couldn't guarantee 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.880 which ACA affordable healthcare, which is completely unaffordable. They he 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.120 offered that back October sixteenth. We have been shut down 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:02.120 for weeks because for their own personal leverage. The whole 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.520 plan was to get it past on November election so 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.840 they could vote for their communist mayor in New York. 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.160 But the truth is they're out there now spending it. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.080 And Sean, you were alluding this just a second ago. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.400 They're out there right now spending saying it's all about 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:20.120 health care. It's about the Republican Party is to blame 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.480 for having unaffordable health care. And you remember President Obama 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.000 said that our premiums were going to go down by 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.560 twenty five percent. Today we stand at two hundred and 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.080 twenty one percent increase. And even if we were to 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.760 extend the premium tax that the Democrats voted for unanimously 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.680 back in twenty one, they made it design to expire. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.839 Even if we did extend it, your premiums would still 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.919 go up eleven to twelve percent. So it's not affordable. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.640 It's not working. And I think President Trump was absolutely 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.480 brilliant when he said, hey, instead of giving the premium 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.680 tax to the insurance companies, how out we give it 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.919 straight to the American people and let them use it 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.919 to buy the insurers plan they want. I thought that 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:02.400 was absolutely brilliant. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.560 The President said that, I mean, there's so many innovative, 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.760 creative ways to redesign healthcare, and maybe this will become 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.320 part of the debate, you know, post you know, the 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.120 reopening of the government, and you know that would include 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:20.840 healthcare cooperatives, healthcare savings accounts. You know, we really we 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.720 have great innovation in healthcare. I've had on this program 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:29.640 many times. Doctor Josh Umber, he's at a Wichita, Kansas. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.240 You know, he had a healthcare cooperative, twenty four hour 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.840 access to doctors that would take care of most things, 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.400 including you'd get he would negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.760 at a ninety plus percent discount and fifty bucks a 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.960 month for adults, ten dollars a month for children. It 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.480 includes telemedicine a lot of times you don't need to 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.920 go to a doctor or an emergency room. A lot 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.240 can be done with modern technology and FaceTime for crying 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.400 out loud, and you know, all of these things save 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.040 money ultimately. But you know, people funneled into a government 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.960 system where promises were made and none of them were kept. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.680 Is has not worked, and they're kind of trying to 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.360 die on this hill of turning something that they designed 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.120 to be temporary into something permanent. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.520 Well, I think it's absurd that they're trying to turn 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:27.280 the healthcare crisis against on the Republican's fault. But keep 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.400 in mind, you had a community organizer, the one that 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.840 came up with this healthcare plan and Nancy Plosi who said, 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.520 if you want to know what's in it, pass it, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.720 then you can read it. If we want to fix 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.600 a healthcare system, you can't fix this. You can't fix 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.319 affordable health care. That's like trying to fix a bone motor. 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.400 You got to rebuild a bone motor. In this Fickler case, 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.400 you need President Trump. He's a business guy. He knows 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.960 how to make business successful. He will bring in the 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.280 brightest minds, the best minds together and negotiate a deal 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.720 that will actually get American healthcare working for the American 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:04.200 peace people, not working for consolidation and large insurance companies. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:09.280 And listen, I'm not against companies being profitable. I'm a capitalist. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.240 I believe in companies being profitable they hire employees. But 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.560 there's no reason why we would continue to subsidize insurance 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.920 companies that are making record profits right now. The reason 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:26.640 why We had the Democrats passive premium tax program last 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.520 in twenty twenty one during COVID was because the insurance 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.360 companies said they were going to go broke because of 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.679 the high expensive cost. Now even if you did away 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.600 with that, they would still be making around fifteen percent 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.120 profit even if you took out their premium tax, So 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.480 we don't need to be subsidizing them anymore. What we 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.400 need to be doing is looking at why is self 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.720 care costs continuously and going through the roof. Why not 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.760 take a deep dive look underneath the hood and say, 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:57.000 let's scrap this program altogether and build a program back 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.800 by getting a Marcus working and allowing people to have choice, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.520 choice in their market and what fits them best, rather 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:07.600 than requiring all programs to have maternity care. I mean, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.480 it's absurd with the regulations they put on it because 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.320 of a community organizer trying to fix our healthcare system. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.280 Well I said in the beginning, and remember that there 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.840 was a mandate associated with us where everybody was ultimately 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.680 going to be funneled into a government system. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:24.760 This was really. 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.760 Their big step towards universal healthcare or a single payer system, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.720 which is what I think they ultimately wanted, and I 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.520 think what they ultimately want now looks like they're progressing 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.760 towards reopening the government, which means if they would expedite 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.800 it in the Senate, then the House could open the 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.280 government as early as Wednesday. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.320 Have you spoken to these senators? 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.199 Are they going to stand firm now at this point 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.040 that they took this test vote last night? 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:55.640 Yeah, we had thirteen Democrat senators had agreed to vote 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.560 with us last week as long as they could get 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.520 past the two day election. That was their whole plan 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.640 they had. They said that Chuck Schumer this is a quote, 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.480 would take off the handcuffs and allow themselves plus Dick 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.679 Durbin to vote for it. After the Tuesday election, they 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.120 came out with just ridiculous demands, I mean sewn. They 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.520 came in and they wanted the President to rescind all 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.840 pocket decisions and guarantee he wouldn't do it for another year. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.440 He wanted the President to reinstate the security clearances from 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.880 all those that he has tripped the security clearances from. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.800 They wanted a guarantee that the guarantee outcome on the 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.760 ACA vote and that the House would pick it up. 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.200 I mean just ridiculous stuff. We told him a go 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.800 pound sand and it literally took user point three seconds 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.680 to reject their offer. And then because of the mounting 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.480 pressure of their body of their especially with Tim Kaine 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.840 with a three hundred and fifty thousand federal employees he 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.360 has in Virginia, the mounting pressure finally came back. And 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.560 what we settled on is, well, we give you an 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:02.480 ACA vote. That's it. And so we know that these 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.200 eight that's already walked the plank, they're going to stay strong. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.679 The question is the other five that said they were 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.240 going to vote with us, are they going to have 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.439 the backbone to actually do what's right for the American 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.640 people rather than continue using the American people as hossage 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:17.760 and leverage points. 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.720 Okay, you're in the room, you're in the clok groom, 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:21.680 you're on the sun of floor. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:22.400 What are you hearing? 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.360 Well, technically, if this thing, if they run out every hour, 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.959 they could run this thing all the way to Friday 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.160 evening because of the amendment boats they could have on it. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.920 If they just run out the debate time, it would 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.040 be Wednesday. Because remember right now we're on the motion 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.120 to proceed. So the Motion proceed comes with a thirty 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.079 hour debate time. Once we end with the motion proceed, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.120 we got to mend the House clean CR because we're 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.960 going to replace all. Instead of having twelve continued resolution 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.319 of funding bills, we're going to have nine and then 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.040 three funding bills. It's going to be at present Trump levels, 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.200 which means this ag mil coon which is military and alledge. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:05.280 And then we got to change the date, so we 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.640 got to change the House version. Once we do that, 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.400 it opens another thirty hour debate and that since we're 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.959 open it to mend, it can be amended. Right now, 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.760 we have a problem with Ran Paul you know, or 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.000 Senator from Kentucky. I to take a deep breath there. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.959 He is demanding a HEMP vote on this because he 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.240 wants to up the THHD levels and HEMP, which could 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.719 really draw the process out. If he does that, then 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.240 we could see this thing could roll out all the 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.959 way to Friday. We're trying to push back if he 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.640 demands to have to have this amendment vote. I have 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.600 said no. He said he will hold it up, he 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.320 won't release the debate time. I don't at this point, 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.760 I really don't care. Ran is on his own heel. 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.520 To think he's going to hold the American people hostage 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.319 like them over him is ridiculous. But we don't need 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.360 his vote, so we can go around him. We haven't 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.439 had his vote this sole time, so that's not important 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.000 to us. But if he if he demands that, then 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.400 he could drag that out a lot further. The Democrats 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.360 have told us, the ones I've talked to today, they're 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.480 ready to go home. They're done. They already know they 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.160 lost the vote, so they went radio silent today. They're 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.720 not talking to us. Least the leadership isn't. The ones 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.160 I'm talking to said they're, well, they're willing to yield 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.240 back to time and we'd be done today and then 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.120 they'd call back the House. The House would go to 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.920 on a Wednesday, and we could reopen the government. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.680 But it takes that would be a best case scenario. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.120 Too many people of suffering, Senator, and a clean cr 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.640 is what Democrats always said they wanted. So, uh, Senator 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.960 Mark way Mullen, Well, it's gonna be fascinating. Uh. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:39.560 I don't know. 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.600 I think this party's gone, you know, radical suicidal at 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.280 this point. But if they think this is gonna you know, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.920 Americans are getting angry and they have every right to 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.600 be a clean cr funding the government and current levels 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.440 is exactly what Democrats always said they wanted. Thank you, sir, 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:56.240 appreciate it. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:57.000 Uh. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:01.440 You know it's when I say them Democratic Party is hijacked. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:06.320 You need look no further than Zoron Marxist Kami Mamdani. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.440 You know, we played remarks last week of AOC, you know, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.840 basically telling Chuck Schumer get out of the way, the 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.240 old guard has to make way for the new guard, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:24.480 and then went straight at Hakim Jefferies telling him, you know, well, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.600 Mamdani is the future of the party. I mean that, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.520 that to me is a very critical moment. And you 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.920 know the leaders of the Democratic Party now, the poster 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.040 child of the Democratic Party would be you know, Zoron 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.000 Mamdani and AOC. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.200 She's I've been saying for years, she's the leader. You know. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.080 Nancy Pelosi at the time was leader, you know, a 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.240 speaker in name only. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:49.400 She had no power. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.080 Hakiem Jeffries now has no power, and the Senate, Chucky 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.120 Schumer is done, It's over. I think Hakim Jefferies is 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.200 very likely done himself. And then you have Grandpa Bernie, 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.520 you know that this is his moment. He now is 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.680 the dominant voice within inside the Democratic you know, the 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.880 radical Democratic socialists that run this party. Here's what he said, 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.800 speaking out against the deal to end the shutdown. I mean, 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.560 it doesn't matter that, you know, nearly forty two million 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.600 Americans and not getting food benefits that they desperately need. 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.240 I thought Democrats cared about the poor. Apparently not when 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.920 it matters. You know, if they want political leverage, they 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.280 acknowledge people who get hurt, but we need the leverage. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.920 That's what they've kept saying openly. Now here's what he said. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:39.160 Yet tonight, what this Senate is about to do is 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.880 make a horrific situation even worse. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.320 So let's be clear what this vote is about. 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:53.320 If this vote succeeds, over twenty million Americans are going 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:58.440 to see at least a doubling in their premiums in 0:16:58.480 --> 0:16:59.920 the Affordable Care Act. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.120 In my statemum minded throughout this country. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.359 For certain groups of people, it will be a tripling 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.159 and a quadrupling of their premiums. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.080 And my friends, know what you are voting on. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.600 Studies are out there that when you throw fifteen million 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:20.359 people off healthcare. Some fifty thousand of our fellow Americans 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:26.919 will die unnecessarily every single year. Anyone think that's funny, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.720 something to laugh at something if you just go past, 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.560 I don't fifty thousand Americans die unnecessarily. 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:40.440 I mean this rhetorical insanity. You know, in the minds 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.560 of Democrats, the only answer is going to be a 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:50.040 government answer. Meanwhile, Obamacare has been proven to have failed spectacularly. 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.400 You know, just like most government programs, they make these 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:58.399 glorious promises, cradle to grave, wound to the tomb, Social 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:04.520 Security lock box rated money spent, headed towards insolvency. How's 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:09.159 Medicaid doing same problem, headed towards insolvency? Thirty eight trillion 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.680 in debt. We're putting that on our children and grandchildren. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.200 How are your government schools doing not very well, especially 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.240 in blue states and blue towns and cities around the country. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.960 How law and order and safety and security under the 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:28.240 defund dismantled no bill reimagine the police people not very well. 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.480 You know, the military is about it, and even that 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.320 deteriorated when Democrats were in power. And this is what 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.840 they want to convince you. You know, when millions lost 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.360 their doctors plans, and you're paying three hundred percent on average, 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.720 more than you were paying when you were told you'd 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.240 save on average twenty five hundred dollars a year. We're 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.440 now going to double down on dumb, dumber, and stupid 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.919 when there are creative, free market solutions. If we'd only think, 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.400 you know, telemedicine should be a part of the equation. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:03.080 Now moving forward, you know, artificial intelligence can can detect, 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.640 you know, disease early. You know, in five years from now, 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:08.840 your odds of living to one hundred are going to 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.720 go up exponentially. Anyway, let's get to our phones. Marie 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:16.240 is in Pennsylvania. Hey, Marie, how are you glad you called? Hi? 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.640 Sean, Thanks for taking my call. I'm a longtime Sean 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.719 Hannity fan, and I'm calling today about John Fetterman. So 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.840 I'm a Pittsburgh area Republican. Of course I didn't vote 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.120 for John, but I have been very impressed with him, 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.879 and I was just curious if you have any insights 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.840 as to his real influence with his colleagues in Washington 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:38.720 this last time. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.679 He's by the way, he's on TV tonight and he 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.480 is he surprised me too. And and I like doctor Roz. 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.200 Doctor Oz, you know, got killed by Doug Mostriano, who 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:54.080 you know, took a position on abortion that I think 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.480 it just was out of sync with the people of Pennsylvania. 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.520 I'm not getting into that issue right now. And you know, 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:04.080 he lost like fourteen points, the largest margin to Joshapiro 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.000 of for against the non incumbent governor since the nineteen forties. 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.119 And Oz lost by three or three or four percent. 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.760 And you know, Mastriano lost by fourteen There's only so 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:16.680 much ticket switching that was gonna go on. But he's 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.199 been a real pleasant surprise. And I will tell you 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.640 haven't spoken to him privately and on the air. He's 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.439 a nice guy and he's reasonable. He does not like 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:32.160 this nazi, fascist, racist hitler Stalin Mussolini, you know, insightful 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:37.240 and dehumanizing rhetoric. He has supported closed borders, he has 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:42.000 supported you know, he understands radical Islamis, he understands Israel's 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:46.640 right to defend itself. I just find him an old school, 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:52.000 old fashioned, you know, Democrat, which is almost nonexistent today. 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.119 The fact that we even got to the longest you 0:20:54.119 --> 0:21:00.160 know shutdown in history now impacting so many millions of Americans, 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:04.280 and but for just the bare minimum, you know, we're 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.240 going to get the government open. It looks like just 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.280 tells you everything you need to know about his party. 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.040 He's not been a part of that. And I tipped 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.240 my hat to him, you know, But I didn't love 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.720 the election results, you know, I was my expectations were 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:22.800 not high. I think that Virginia's a blue state. I 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.159 think Glenn Younkin was the outlier. I think wins Series 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:28.439 did not run the best campaign. To be very frank, 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.960 Jack Chidarelli had the problem. In the last three years, 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.280 they lost, you know, a quarter of a million people 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.840 in New Jersey. He got one hundred and fifty thousand 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.320 more votes and they got the last time and still lost. 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:43.000 And you know, this migration is impacting a lot of 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:47.919 states like New York, New Jersey and California and Illinois. 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:52.520 So there's a lot going on here and the country 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.720 is divided, and he's just not going to be part 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:56.720 of that cancer. And I applaud him for I'm not 0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:02.119 going crazy, you know, streaming nazi, fascist, racist because you know, 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.679 because the worst I affectionately called zoron, you know, you 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.800 know Marxistkami Mamnani, but you know he is a comedy. 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:13.240 I mean he is, that's his positions. 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.520 Do you think Setterment's really making a difference with his colleagues? 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:18.359 Are there more like him that are just afraid to 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.720 speak up? Do you think that there'll be a turn 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.040 from some others to join him in his perspective? 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.439 If I'm right in my prediction that Donald Trump has 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:33.680 laid the foundation for economic success that will be historic. 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:39.240
