Speaker 1: I mean, I knew Gavin for four years. I got
Speaker 1: along great with him. If you take a look at
Speaker 1: what he's done. So they lost twenty five thousand houses.
Speaker 1: Do you know they haven't issued one building for him?
Speaker 1: And yes, so these people are trying to rebuild the houses.
Speaker 2: But he does something. He did something even worse than that.
Speaker 2: He's now taking a big section.
Speaker 1: Of Palisades or some area and he's going to build
Speaker 1: low income housing where they used to have luxury housing.
Speaker 1: He's going to put low income housing in. Honestly, I
Speaker 1: always like him, but he's a horrible governor.
Speaker 3: If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with
Speaker 3: Ben ferguson.
Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning, nice to have you with us on
Speaker 4: the forty seven Morning Update, America still being held hostage
Speaker 4: by the Democratic Party, massive flight delays, and many Democrats
Speaker 4: who are now calling for Chuck Schumer to lose his job.
Speaker 4: This is the story today. When will the government officially reopen?
Speaker 4: I have the latest for you on that, but first
Speaker 4: want to tell you about our friends of her Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 4: Every so often something happens that reminds us just how
Speaker 4: fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our
Speaker 4: rights for granted. We must draw a line in the sand,
Speaker 4: and our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just
Speaker 4: that for more than twelve years. The truth is there
Speaker 4: is only one provider that boldly stands in the gap
Speaker 4: for Americans who believe freedom is worth fighting for, and
Speaker 4: that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading
Speaker 4: the red economy, they're also outpacing the competition and technology.
Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile is one of the only carriers offering premium
Speaker 4: access to all three major US networks, giving you nationwide
Speaker 4: coverage and service that you can count on day after day.
Speaker 4: They also offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming,
Speaker 4: internet backup in so much more, and switching has never
Speaker 4: been easier. You can activate in minutes on your phone
Speaker 4: from your home or your office, and you keep your
Speaker 4: same number. You've got now keep your same phone, or
Speaker 4: upgrade to a new one. And this is where the
Speaker 4: matter it happens. Every month, about five percent of your
Speaker 4: bill is given back to conservative causes at no extra
Speaker 4: cost to you that stand up for our First and
Speaker 4: our Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children, and
Speaker 4: are wounded warriors and those that have fought for a
Speaker 4: country and wear a badge.
Speaker 2: So take a stand today.
Speaker 4: Go to Patriotmobile dot com slash Ben forty seven or
Speaker 4: call ninety seven to two Patriot and if you use
Speaker 4: the promo code BEN forty seven, you're gonna get a
Speaker 4: free month of service. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash
Speaker 4: Ben forty seven or nine seven to two Patriot and
Speaker 4: make the switch today. It's a forty seven morning update
Speaker 4: and it starts right now.
Speaker 2: Story number one.
Speaker 4: We're starting with good news sort of day forty one
Speaker 4: of the longest federal shutdown in US history. There is
Speaker 4: movement now, there's still a shutdown in the deal points
Speaker 4: that Democrats are fighting over this all while there's still
Speaker 4: chaos in the sky. Snap benefits are in limbo, and
Speaker 4: we now know that lawmakers in the House are in
Speaker 4: a thirty six hour return notice. This is the longest
Speaker 4: ever government shutdown and it's on the verge of ending
Speaker 4: food aid benefits remaining again in limbo. Why is this
Speaker 4: happening Because Democrats are still wanting you to blame Donald
Speaker 4: Trump and they believe they have the upper hand. That's
Speaker 4: also happening while we're seeing massive flight cancelations and delays
Speaker 4: they're disrupting travelers all over the US and international travelers
Speaker 4: coming into the US. Now, the Senate on Sunday took
Speaker 4: the first major step towards voting on a biperson deal
Speaker 4: reached between some Democrats, eight of them, and Republicans and
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump. Now, this would fully reopen the government
Speaker 4: until January the thirtiest, so there's still going to be
Speaker 4: work to be done after that. The agreement would also
Speaker 4: keep various other federal benefits, including snap benefits and veteran
Speaker 4: services funded through the next year.
Speaker 2: That's a positive. Now. A decision by a small group
Speaker 2: of moderate.
Speaker 4: Democrats that defected from the rest of their party marked
Speaker 4: the biggest turning point since the shutdown began on October
Speaker 4: the first, But it also prompted immediate political blowback, as
Speaker 4: many Democrats are now urging those colleagues to quote hold
Speaker 4: out for greater spending on things like Medicaid and Obamacare.
Speaker 4: That is what they're doing. So what happens next is
Speaker 4: the question that so many of you are asking. Well,
Speaker 4: now that there are eight Democrats that have signaled support
Speaker 4: for reopening the government, Congress has to clear a number
Speaker 4: of procedural hurdles they could have done this, by the way,
Speaker 4: on Sunday night, Democrats deliberately wanted it to hurt a
Speaker 4: little bit longer. This means this could delay things as
Speaker 4: far as Friday, if no one to now. When the
Speaker 4: new funding deal passes the Senate, which could come as
Speaker 4: soon as late Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, the package will
Speaker 4: then have to pass the House of Representatives, which hasn't
Speaker 4: taken a vote in weeks. Lawmakers in the House have
Speaker 4: now been put on a thirty six hour return noticed
Speaker 4: as I mentioned earlier, so it would likely take quote
Speaker 4: several days, barring any travel issues lawmakers in my experience,
Speaker 4: to get back to DC because of the shutdown for
Speaker 4: them to even pass any of the Senate bills. The
Speaker 4: Senate Majority leader John Thune indicated last week that he
Speaker 4: didn't think the shutdown would last pass Thanksgiving. Now again,
Speaker 4: you're dealing with Democrats that are wanting this to happen now.
Speaker 4: President Trump has also come out saying he supports the
Speaker 4: Senate deal to reopen the government that's been broken between
Speaker 4: Republican leaders and the eight Democratic lawmakers, saying, quote, based
Speaker 4: on everything I'm hearing, they haven't changed anything. Trump told
Speaker 4: reporters in the Oval Office, and we have support from
Speaker 4: enough Democrats. We're going to reopen our country. It's too
Speaker 4: bad it was closed, but we'll be reopening our country
Speaker 4: very quickly.
Speaker 2: Trump went on to say, now, the.
Speaker 4: Agreement would reverse Trump's recent firing of federal workers during
Speaker 4: the shutdown, but the President suggested he's fine with that, saying, quote,
Speaker 4: I'll abide by the deal.
Speaker 2: The deal is very good.
Speaker 4: So then the question becomes, what's actually in this deal?
Speaker 2: Let me explain that for you.
Speaker 4: The agreed to deal as it stands right now, would
Speaker 4: reopen the government until January thirtieth. It would also include
Speaker 4: full year funding for several agencies and programs, including food Aid,
Speaker 4: veterans benefits, SNAP funding with continued food stamps through the
Speaker 4: September at higher levels. It also includes a commitment to
Speaker 4: vote on a bill to potentially extend the expiring Obamacare subsidies,
Speaker 4: the tax credits which millions of Americans rely on to
Speaker 4: help pay government premiums. So that's part of this welfare
Speaker 4: program since it happened because of Obamacare. Now, in addition,
Speaker 4: the deal would reverse the layoffs of thousands of federal
Speaker 4: workers while barring any potential firing until January thirtieth, the
Speaker 4: terminations have been temporarily blocked by a federal court judge.
Speaker 4: A handful of Senate Democrats have backed the compromise to
Speaker 4: reopen the government, but it didn't make them any popular
Speaker 4: with their fellow leftists anarchists that are holding us all hostage.
Speaker 4: Making this deal is malpractice, is what the new Jersey
Speaker 4: governor elect said in a statement. Pathetic is what Governor
Speaker 4: of California Gaven Newsom said, and most Senate Democrats balked
Speaker 4: at the compromise. Mark Warner, Democrat from Virginia, said Quota
Speaker 4: cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans
Speaker 4: wondering how they're going to pay for their health care
Speaker 4: or whether they will be able to afford to afford
Speaker 4: to get sick at all.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: President Trump is also tried to deal with what's happening
Speaker 4: in our airports. He has ordered all air traffic controllers
Speaker 4: back to work. Trump threatening to dock the pay of
Speaker 4: air traffic controllers who haven't reported to work as flight
Speaker 4: delays and cancelations have spiked all over the country. He
Speaker 4: said it this way, very simply, quote, all air traffic
Speaker 4: controllers must get back to work now. Anyone who doesn't
Speaker 4: will be substantially docked. Many air traffic controllers continued working
Speaker 4: without a paycheck during the shutdown.
Speaker 2: They will get back paid, just so you know.
Speaker 4: But many have refused or didn't report to airports across
Speaker 4: the country. That's what prompted the FAA to order airlines
Speaker 4: to cancel four percent of their flights over the weekend.
Speaker 4: Trump has urged the controllers who didn't show up for
Speaker 4: work to quit, and he pledged to recommend ten thousand
Speaker 4: dollars bonuses to controllers who continued working, saying this for
Speaker 4: those air traffic controllers who were great patriots and didn't
Speaker 4: take any time off for the Democrats shutdown hoax, I
Speaker 4: will be recommending a bonus of ten thousand person for
Speaker 4: distinguished service to our country. For those that did nothing
Speaker 4: but complain and took full time off, even though even
Speaker 4: though everyone knew they would be paid in full shortly
Speaker 4: into the future, I am not happy with you.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: How bad are the cancelations? Delta Airlines announced it's canceled
Speaker 4: nearly five hundred flights under a government directive during the shutdown,
Speaker 4: and that all cancelations through November twelfth have been completed.
Speaker 4: The airline canceled two hundred and eighty mainline flights and
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifteen Delta Connection regional flights. Additional delays
Speaker 4: and cancelations, they say still may be needed to cope
Speaker 4: with air traffic control restrictions. The airline is now warning quote,
Speaker 4: Delta teams continue to safely manage our operations and care
Speaker 4: for customers who have experienced cancelations and delays. United Airlines
Speaker 4: this is what they've said. They said it is sticking
Speaker 4: with the government ordered flight cancelations through at least November
Speaker 4: the twelfth, as Congress debates the potential end of the shutdown.
Speaker 4: The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered airlines to reduce their
Speaker 4: flights four percent November seventh to cope with strains on
Speaker 4: air traffic controllers who suffered absences while continue to work
Speaker 4: during the shutdown, saying quote, we will continue to make
Speaker 4: rolling updates to our schedule if the government shutdown continues,
Speaker 4: and share the latest information as we have it. The
Speaker 4: airline sentness statement as well on social media. Now, Republicans
Speaker 4: say that, well, you cannot hide from the crisis that
Speaker 4: was created by Democrats, And I want you to hear
Speaker 4: what Speaker Johnson had to say about the Democrats using
Speaker 4: the American people as leverage.
Speaker 5: Figure Johnson, I loved your quote. It's the beginning of
Speaker 5: the end of the shutdown, very Churchillian. I like that
Speaker 5: very much. But you know, but at the end of
Speaker 5: this whole thing, they're basically going back to your CR.
Speaker 5: I know there's a few add ons here veterans construction,
Speaker 5: no at tax destruction, but basically they could have just
Speaker 5: voted yes on your CR in the first place. And
Speaker 5: I don't understand how stupid this is. And I think
Speaker 5: millions of Americans are very aggravated over this.
Speaker 6: They are, and you're right, it was stupid. To your's
Speaker 6: word and my word is utterly pointless. I mean, forty
Speaker 6: days we've had the country wandering in the wilderness because
Speaker 6: of the Democrats in transigence, and they've made the American
Speaker 6: people suffer needlessly. And at the end of all this,
Speaker 6: you now have a handful of Democrats who have come
Speaker 6: to their senses. They're prepared to do the right thing
Speaker 6: reopen the government. They're going to do, Larry, to your point,
Speaker 6: exactly what we asked them to do.
Speaker 2: Weeks ago.
Speaker 6: I mean, all of this was really for nothing. And
Speaker 6: it's so sad that they have used the American people
Speaker 6: as their leverage, that's their own quote, as ponds in
Speaker 6: this political game, so that Chuck Schumer could have political
Speaker 6: cover back in New York. I mean, it's really unconscionable.
Speaker 4: Now anestly, there's also another aspect of this shutdown, and
Speaker 4: that is the civil war that's happening as we speak
Speaker 4: right now within the Democratic Party. Senator Dick Durbin, for example,
Speaker 4: openly admitted the Democrats knew the damage that they were
Speaker 4: going to cause the families by shutting the government down,
Speaker 4: saying from the four of the Senate earlier today, I
Speaker 4: cannot accept a strategy which wages political battle at the
Speaker 4: expense of my neighbor's paychecked or the food for his children.
Speaker 2: Now, Chuck Schumer, and this was the Schumer shut down.
Speaker 4: He was forced to do it, held hostage by the
Speaker 4: extreme wing of the Democratic Party, the aocs of his
Speaker 4: party that he's afraid are going to actually come after
Speaker 4: him in a primary. Well, now Democrats are mad that
Speaker 4: this deal is getting done. In fact, one Democratic strategist
Speaker 4: today on MSNBC said this about Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 7: Chuld Chuck schumergh and yet yes, Chuck Schumer should go.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry to say, Chuck schumershag go. I voted for
Speaker 7: many times. I am ideologically quite aligned with where he
Speaker 7: is as a Senator, but he's no longer capable of
Speaker 7: running this caucus. He's no longer capable leading the Democratic Party.
Speaker 7: I am a lifeline. I mean, I am an establishment Democrat,
Speaker 7: and I'm here to say that Bernie Sanders is much
Speaker 7: more in line with where I and many other Democrats
Speaker 7: are today than Chuck Schumer is. And you know, if
Speaker 7: you would have asked me that five years ago, I
Speaker 7: would have laughed at you. So that just to the
Speaker 7: underscore exactly how furious, how furious Democrats are today for
Speaker 7: putting the country through this without having it.
Speaker 4: Out, without having an out. This is the Democratic Party
Speaker 4: right now telling you how bad the Civil War is.
Speaker 2: It wasn't enough that.
Speaker 4: They actually decide to shut down the government for the
Speaker 4: longest period in history. They're now saying Chuck Schumer must
Speaker 4: go and the extreme of the party should be mainlined.
Speaker 2: Seth Moulton on Chuck Schumer saying this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and do you think that change, that need for
Speaker 6: a change in leadership would also extend to Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 6: If you were elected to the Senate, would you want
Speaker 6: to see, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 8: Not going to run on a new generation of leadership
Speaker 8: platform here in Massachusetts and then go down a wat
Speaker 8: Washington and vote for the status quo. And so I've
Speaker 8: been very public about that. Again, you know, respect his service,
Speaker 8: but time to move on. And you know my opponent
Speaker 8: has not. He keeps dodging the question.
Speaker 4: That is a man who's running for Senate in Massachusetts
Speaker 4: saying this will be over if I am elected and
Speaker 4: we will get rid of Chuck Schumer one more that's
Speaker 4: also saying the same exact thing. Democrats continuing to call
Speaker 4: for him to be done, and the media following suit.
Speaker 4: On the View today, Sonny Houston saying this about it's
Speaker 4: time for Schumer to be gone, saying his days are over.
Speaker 9: You know, you do something like this, shame on you
Speaker 9: the first time. You do it twice, three times, four times,
Speaker 9: Shame on me, Shame on the Democrats. We're even believing
Speaker 9: that the Republicans will you know, even vote on it.
Speaker 9: There's no guarantee in this new deal that there's going
Speaker 9: to be a vot. There's no even commitment to have
Speaker 9: a vote. So the bottom line is the Democrats went
Speaker 9: into this after a blue wave out of the American
Speaker 9: people saying we do want the opposition, the working people
Speaker 9: want the Democratic Party to fight for them, and now
Speaker 9: they just cave and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer his
Speaker 9: days are over.
Speaker 4: His days are over. So there it is Democrats admitting
Speaker 4: they did it on purpose. They're hurting Americans on purpose.
Speaker 4: They're delaying open the government right now, even as they
Speaker 4: agree to open the government on purpose, and they want
Speaker 4: it to hurt on purpose, and there is a civil
Speaker 4: war in the Democratic Party. Chuck Schumer is no longer
Speaker 4: extreme enough for the Democratic Party. So if you think
Speaker 4: this was a grand success for Democrats, look at what
Speaker 4: they're saying about their own party right now. And Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: as he made it clear today, it's time to get
Speaker 4: our government back open and get us back to working.
Speaker 4: And that's the most important thing for so many Americas
Speaker 4: hit insteader being held hostage by the Democratic Party.
