  Speaker 1: You guys doing okay, because if you watch the media
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: right now, I think they think we're all in the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: feedile position and we don't know what to do because
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: there's a government shutdown. Meanwhile, I'm like, this is awesome,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Like let's start firing some people. Let's get rid of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: some bureaucrats, let's save some money.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Of course, somebody's gonna freak out that I said that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and take it out of context. They're gonna be that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: be at Ferguson wants people to lose their jobs only
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: if you suck at your job, Like if you're a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: partisan hack in the government and you suck at your
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: job and we haven't been able to fire you before, Like,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: let's do it right now. I'm in favor of doging
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it up, as they say, in a very very very
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: big way. But if you look at the media right now,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they're going out there to find little Susan, little Timmy
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: who are crying tonight because they were coming to the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: US capital.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And it's shut down.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Of course they're gonna try to blame that shutdown on
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and conservatives. We all know this is a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Schumer shutdown. That is what this is. And if you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: just want to know how bad the Democrats are. They
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: don't want like serious people in our government to get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: paid during the government shutdown. But damn it, they're going
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to get paid. Some lawmakers are actually saying they are
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: going to send a letter many of them have to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: withhold their paychecks during the shutdown. But other lawmakers are like, no,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I ain't doing that. Quote I'm not wealthy and I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: have three kids. I would basically be missing mortgage payments,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: rent payments, child support. That is what Senator Rubin Galago
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: had to say, the Democrat from Arizona to NBC News.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So it's not feasible, it's not gonna happen. So like, yeah,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'll make sure because we're playing politics at the Americant
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Party that other people that maybe have three kids or
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: have a mortgage payment or rent payment or child support,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: they'll go without a paycheck. But I'm a senator, damnit,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm a Democratic center and it's not feasible for me.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It's not going to happen.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Well, where is the same passion, Senator, Yeah, I goo
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: for all the average government workers. Remember, they don't give
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a crap about you. Now, there are other members of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Congress that have sent the letters, because that's how it
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: works to say don't pay me. And also, let's style
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: down the crazy for a second. Everybody is gonna get
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: their pay it's.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Just gonna be delayed.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It depends on how long Chuck Schumer wants to delay
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: people getting paid, right or is this And by the way,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I put the tweet out there so you guys can
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: see it. My good buddy Steve Guests put this tweet
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: out and retweeted a moment ago so you can follow it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You can send out there, go online at Ben Ferguson
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: show on X and you can see all of these
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: lawmakers and just their scumbaggery one oh one.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Like oh I can't miss a paycheck. I just I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: just can't do it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But let me go back to why this is actually
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: even happening right now. This is the part that all
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of you need to understand, which is like, why is
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this a thing?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Well, let's just start with the basics. Chuck Schumer is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: terrified of AOC primarying him. That is why Chuck Schumer
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: has shut down the government because if he didn't shut
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: down the government, he's afraid he's going to lose his
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: leadership position and he will be primary Senater. Ted Kruz,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: who is one of those in the Senate dealing with this,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: here's what he had to say on his show Verdict
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: with Ted Cruz podcast.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Listen and Chuck Schumer nearly lost his job because Schumer
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: allowed the government to be funded several months ago. The
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: left wing rose up against him. And you want to
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: understand why we have a shutdown. It's one thing. Schumer
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: is looking over his left shoulder and he sees aoc
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: running up behind him, and he is terrified he's gonna
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: lose his job. So listen, Schumer knows this is not
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: gonna work. He knows this is failures.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: He just pure cover your als politics one oh one
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: by Schumer, And there it is. That's what it is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It is cover your aas one oh one. That is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: why you have these Schumer shut down and that's why
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Democrats are like, dude, I got to take my paycheck.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I got too many babies, defeed, I got mortgage and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: rent payments. Now the government workers that make less than
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the United States centater, screw them, right. I also just
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: had to bring this up, and I'm not trying to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: be mean, but I'm gonna just I'm just gonna just kind.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Of state the obvious here.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: If you are a United States senator and you can't
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: miss a single paycheck, do we really want you running
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the country? I mean, senators, what is the in fact,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask what the I'm gonna ask? This is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: what I love technology, Hey, Siri, what does a United
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: States senator make per year?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Wait for it, one.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Hundred and seventy four thousand dollars annually. All right, So
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we got this guy who's a senator saying, quote, I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not wealthy, and I have three kids, and I would
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: basically be missing mortgage payments, rent payments, child support. So
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it's not feasible, not gonna happen, but I will happily
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: shut down the government. Be a part of that shutdown
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: with Chuck Schumer because he's afraid of AOC and screw
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the other workers who are in this situation. And somehow
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he wants me to be sorry for him making one
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four thousand dollars a year. If you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: are a United States center and you can't miss one paycheck,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: do I really want you? If you're teetering, you're living
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I mean what Scott, I mean what the Senator Ruben
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Gallaga was saying is I can't afford to miss the paycheck.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I am living paycheck to paycheck. Dude.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: That is messed up on so many different levels. Because
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you're in charge of the United States government, but you're
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: living paycheck to paycheck. I thought we were supposed to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: send our best and our brightest to do this job.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: If I'm making one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a year, I assure you I Am not going to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: be a scenario where I can't miss a payment, like
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: my whole life is screwed in one month. Like one
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four thousand dollars, you should have some
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: emergency funds, to quote the great Dave Ramsey, right, you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: should have a couple months. And also, let's be clear,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat and you know that Democrats love
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: shutting down the government, right, like I'm being serious, Okay,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: If you are a Democrat and you know it's coming,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: then why didn't you plan ahead for this?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Wait, because you don't give a crap about the people
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you're hurting. You don't give a crap about the workers
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that are actually living paycheck to paycheck like you don't care.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It is all about you, full stop, plain and simple,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Which brings me back to the Democrats in general. This
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is the same party, by the way, that has been obsessed,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: right like completely obsessed with this idea that we should never,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: under any circumstances shut down the because that's just wrong
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and evil. We have montage after montage after montage of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Democrats who are saying it. I'm gonna play that for
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you in a minute. But here's the other thing. Listen
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to Keem Jeffries on the House side. He was asked
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: about cashing their checks while the troops are going unpaid
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: during the Democratic shutdown. So you're you're halfway around the world,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you're protecting, defending this country, you're not getting paid, but
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: damn it, the people wearing suits in DC are.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: So this is something.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Still case a shutdown. E sense advice semotime members that
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: one is a Dutch dug.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a question that every individual member is going
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: to have to make on their own, as has always
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: been the case in the past. Uh, First of all,
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: that question is not even a ripe one because we're
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: anticipating that this shutdown issue will be resolved.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I love this right. Well, I'm not gonna answer that question.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not. That's something I I'm not
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: going to answer that question. Okay, So we have Democrats
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that are holding America hostage. Democratic represented Maxing Dexter, who
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: voted to shut down the government said this about Democrats today.
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: I'll just say it again. We did not shut down
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: the government. The Republicans right, by the way, yes you did.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: You literally voted to shut down the government. Democratic represent
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: A Maxing Dexter went on NewsNation and just lied to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the American people. I'll play it for you again. She
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: voted literally to shut down the government.
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: I'll just say it again. We did not shut down
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: the government. The Republicans have not been at the table
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: bringing us into the negotiations. They need sixty votes in
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: the Senate. So there is no debate here on who's responsible.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: On who's responsible for shutting down the government. Okay, let's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: go to the record. Did you vote to shut down
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the government? Representative Maxing Dexter, Yes, So, then why did
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you say that Democrats did not shut down the government.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Then you acknowledge the Senate needs sixty votes to pass
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a federal funding bill, which Democrats voted against. It's how
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: we didn't get the sixty votes. Republicans weren't voting against it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I think there was one Ram Paul who always votes
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: against it. At least he's a principal guy. And Democratic
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: California Representative Peter Aguilar, he went in front of the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: media earlier today and here's what he said, again, lying,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he believes that you the American people are in favor
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of the shutdown.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: The American people are focused on this.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: They support our efforts to protect their health care funding.
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: The American people.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Hold on a second.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: The American people are in favor of this. They support
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the Democratic shutdown. What poll are you reading is at
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the bottom of a picture of beer? Is it next
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to some illegal drugs or fentanyl? I mean, what world
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: are you in? Oh wait, hold on a second. Let
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: me go to the New York Times real quick, because
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: what he just said was the American people are in
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: favor of this.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: New York Times seeing a poll views on whether the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Democrats should or should not shut down the government if
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: their demands are not met all respondent sixty five percent
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: said should not. Only twenty seven percent of the psychos
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: out there said should. Even among Democrats, forty three percent
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of Democrats said they should not shut down the government.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Forty seven percent of Democrats they should. Of Independence, fifty
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: nine percent said they should not shut down the government.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Only thirty two percent said they should. And then let's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: go to the Republicans. Ninety two percent of Republicans said
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: we should not shut down the government, only five percent
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: said we should. So let me go back to the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: liar here, Democratic representive Peter Agolar lying to you the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: American people.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yet again, the American people are are focused on this.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: They support our efforts to protect their health care funding.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That's a lie, by the way, you guys aren't supporting
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: our health care fundings. You know what was in their demand.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Their demand was, yes, we're going to shut down the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: government for illegal immigrants. Democrats blocked the Republicans clean meaning
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: no add ons continuing resolution that would have kept the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: government open at the same exact burn rate of money
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: as it was yesterday. Instead, Democrats demanded one point five
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: trillion for their radical agenda that the American people voted
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: down in the last presidential election. That also includes government
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: funding for illegal immigrants' health care. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett said, quote,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the government's officially shut down. Make no mistake. Republicans control
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the House to sent in the White House. This is
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: their shutdown.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You have to have sixty votes in the Senate. There's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: not sixty republiclkens in the Senate.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You're a liar.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: They had every tool to govern and choose chaos instead.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: The American people are the ones paying the price. Jasmine,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you are a liar. You're a scumbag liar. She knows,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: maybe she doesn't. She might actually be this dumb. So
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: let's just give her a quick history lesson. The Senate
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: requires sixty votes to pass the funding bill. Maybe Congresswoman
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett is too stupid and spending too much time
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: on TikTok and doesn't.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Know that, but now she does.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: So here's what's even more interesting, by the way, about
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Democrats and just they're lying. So you've got some Democrats
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: out there like, well, the Republicans chose to do this,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and then there's others that say, well, well, the American
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: support the Democratic shut down. So that's another spin. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: there's actually three kind of stories here. And then there's
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: this other story Jasmine Crockett saying the Republicans are the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: ones that did this, she's an idiot. And then you've
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: got this weird Democrat who actually is at the airport
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: putting up a video admitting as a congressman, the Democrats
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: chose to shut down the government. So my question the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Democrats is like, can you guys at least get your
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: story right, Like can you don't text each other and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, we're all going to go with this.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Returning back to Detroit this morning after the Republicans failed
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: to show up in the US House, we got to
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: make sure Americans have the healthcare that they need.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And if that means you got to chuck this.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Government down, and so be it.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean we got to just shut down
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that it means if we got to shut down the government,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: so be it. So there's a weird congressman, Democratic New
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Hampshire Senator Shahean. Here's what she had to say about
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the government and the shutdown, and listen to who she's blaming.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So like, none of their stories even match within their
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: own party.
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: The reality is the Republicans control all three branches of government.
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: They control the White House, they control both Houses of Congress,
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: and many would say they control the Supreme Court. So
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: I think ultimately people will question why given that they
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: have not been able to avoid a shutdown.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: It takes sixty votes.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: That means Republicans are the ones that have to have
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Democrats that agree to a cr and then ultimately defunding
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the government. You idiot White House Press secretary saying this
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: today about the government shut down, Listen carefully.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Democrats in Congress have officially shut down the United States government.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: House Republicans passed a nonpartisan, clean piece of legislation to
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: extend current government funding until November twenty first, but nearly
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: every single Democrat senator voted against this bill. To be clear,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: this was the exact same bill that Democrats approved six
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: short months ago in March, just adjusted for inflation. This
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: is the same kind of clean funding bill that Democrats
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: passed thirteen separate times when they held the Jordy during
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden's administration. So the American people woke up this
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: morning and asked the obvious question, why is the government
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: shut down right now? The answer is pure partisan politics
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: being played by the Democrat Party. The Democrats shut down
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the government because President Trump and the Republicans will not
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: force American taxpayers to pay for free health care for
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: illegal aliens. America is thirty seven trillion dollars in debt.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: We cannot afford to provide taxpayer funded free healthcare to
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: illegals who broke the law to enter our country.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, isn't that interesting? Wow?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: So Republicans are not going to force the American tax
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: payers to pay for free health care for illegal aliens
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: because we're thirty seven trade in debt and we can't
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: afford to pay for that free health care for illegals
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: who broke this country.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my friends at
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: kirk Elliott Precious Medals. Two days ago, I got my
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: new order of silver. Now I'm investing in silver right
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: now because the pricing on it is amazing and the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: upside well, it's real. I actually have a one hundred
• 16:07

• 18:07
  Speaker 1: just back up for a second. I'm going to back
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: it up about ten seconds, and I want to play
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: in its entirety with the White House Press Secretary Kroen
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Levit said about the Democratic Democrats shutting down the government.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Where there are Democrats.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: On record elect officials who said that they were shutting
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: down the government, voted to shut down the government, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: then they want to act like, oh, we didn't actually
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: do that, like I'm sorry, I'm calling bs.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Keep listening.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: So the American people woke up this morning and asked
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: the obvious question, why is the government shut down right now?
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: The answer is pure partisan politics being played by the
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Democrat Party. The Democrats shut down the government because President
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Trump and the Republicans will not force American taxpayers to
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: pay for free health care for illegal aliens. America is
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: thirty seven trillion dollars in debt. We cannot afford to
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: provide taxpayer funded free healthcare to illegals who broke the
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: law to enter our country. To put this all into perspective,
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: the Democrats refused to keep the government open over health
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: care to illegal aliens and now now have jeopardized critical
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: health care programs for American citizens. Instead, the Women, Infants,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: and Children Program, community health center funding, Medicare, treatment options,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: and other health programs are now all at risk because
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: of the Democrats rejecting the clean cr The most vulnerable
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: in our country are being punished because the Democrats want
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: to prioritize illegals over American citizens. And if Democrats actually
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: cared about health care, they would applaud the actions taken
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: by President Trump. Just yesterday in the Oval Office, he
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: took a bold and massively popular action to improve our
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: health care system. He announced the first agreement with a
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: major pharmaceutical company, Peiser, to lower drug costs for Americans.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: This is a historical achievement long sought by past Democrat
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: presidents that only isident Trump was able to get done.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: So you Listen to that, and again she's right about
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: all of it. Now, what is the media saying about this, Well,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: let me take you to Atlanta, CBS News Atlanta. They
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: want you to cry and feel sorry for the TSA
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: officers who are just living paycheck to paycheck.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Listen carefully.
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Most TSA officers live paycheck to paycheck. The issue comes
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: in is when I don't receive a paycheck, how am
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: I supposed.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: To get to work?
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: Where am I going to get the gas to put
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: in my car to come to work? Or how do
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: I feed my family? Or how do I buy diapers.
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: Aaron Barker is a TSA officer in the president of
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: AFGE Local five five four, the union that represents TSA officers.
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: He says that the shutdown lasts longer than a few days,
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: travelers will fill the.
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: Impact without having a paycheck as one of the problems
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: will arise most CSA.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta laugh because they do this ad
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: like somehow to make it seem like I call it
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: an ad. It's not news. It's an ad for the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Democratic senaters ossif An Warnock voted for this,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: go look at their votes. So, if you're a tsa
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: officer in Atlanta at the airport there. You should be angry, Okay,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: like you should be furious, Chuck Schumer five hours ago.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: It is not radical to say Americans don't deserve to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: see their premiums double because of Republicans. By the way,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: it's also not radical to say Americans shouldn't pay for
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: medicaid for illegal immigrants. Local News, again Georgia. Two of
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the senators there, Ossif and Warnock, both of them voted
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to shut down the government. Here's what a Georgia veteran
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: said to the local news.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Alonzo Sermons is now a veteran, but he remembers the
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: fear of being a service member during shutdowns.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: It's really a tough time.
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: It's always last minute, which is the challenge.
• 22:03
  Speaker 12: And not only that, it's impacting not only just average people.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: But my fellow veterans who work out on base. They're
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: impacted by it. And we're so close to the holidays
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: and we're talking about people's livelihoods, they're revenue.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Alonzo Sermons is now a veteran.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, Like this is a Georgia veteran
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: describing the consequences, and not one but Two of the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: centators in Georgia, Warnock and Ausif, both voted for this shutdown,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: which in other Democrats like, goold, second, we didn't shut
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: on the government.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Yes you did, Yes you did.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Let me also tell you what different states are doing
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: so you understand how bad it is. All right, you
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: should find out what's happening in your state where you
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: are right now, because Rhode Island's Medicaid program proudly states
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: online that undocumented residents are eligible. Yeah, go to the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Rhode Island Medicaid Programs website and it says health insurance
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: for your family. Then it says Medicaid helps you get
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: affordable health care when you need it. You can enroll
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: any time, but don't wait. Make sure you and your
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: family stay healthy year round. So who may be eligible
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: they have with a big question mark on their website.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Here's what it says, children and teens up to nineteen.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: All children are eligible under cover all kids, regardless of
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: immigration status. Okay, so that would be illegal immigrants, including
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: children who are undocumented and DACA recipients. So any illegal immigrant,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: just come on down in Rhode Island and we're happy to.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Cover your health care.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Before that okay, So they put this who's eligible Their
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: number one question they answer Rhode Island is illegal immigrants.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Then number two they put families and children, then pregnant women,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: then older adults, and then people with disabilities. So if
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you want to know where you are in the pecking
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: order and woke, Rhode Island illegal immigrants are their top
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: priority based on how they're listing those that are eligible.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Then it's his youth aging out of foster care, then
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: US citizens and certain lawfully resident president immigrants. So if
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you're a US citizen, you're like the last one on
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the list in Rhode Island, But the first group they
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: want to talk to is illegal immigrants. So healthcare for
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: legal immigrants is the new immigrants are eating cats and
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: dogs in Springfield, is what Sheldon white House said. Senator
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: white House saying the Republican playbook is simple, makeup, baseless lies,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: repeated every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: blames Democrats. That's why I'm telling you exactly what is
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: on the website in Rhode Island. Senator white House, you're
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a lying scumeback. New health insurance options for undocumented immigrants
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: over sixty five New York State of Oh.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Get it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: There's a website.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: The Senator from New York shut down the government because
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the far left wants Americans to pay for medicaid for illegals.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: And here's what it says on their website. Quote starting
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: January one, twenty twenty four, there's a new option for
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: health insurance available for undocumented immigrants that would be illegal
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: immigrants over age sixty five. It's on their website, folks,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it is on their website. The Senator from New York.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Here's the video he put out about Washington, d C.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And the shutdown, and listen to his lies.
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: Hey, everybody, I'm still down here in Washington, d C.
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: The Senate just had a vote which failed, which means
• 25:47
  Speaker 12: a shutdown at twelve o'clock tonight is very very likely.
• 25:49
  Speaker 12: And this is going to be very painful for a
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: lot of people and very difficult. This whole idea of
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: my way or the highway that the Republicans have been
• 25:57
  Speaker 12: pushing is not the way to go. We've got to
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: negotiate to try and keep the government open, or get
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: it reopened, I should say. Number two, We've got to
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: try and do something to keep the health insurance cost
• 26:07
  Speaker 12: of people down there about the skyrocket because of the
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: expiration of these premium text credits. It's going to be very,
• 26:13
  Speaker 12: very painful and very shocking for a lot of people
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: all over the country. It's going to affect your health
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: insurance premiums because more people that get kicked off of
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: their insurance because they can't afford it makes everybody else's
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: health insurance more expensive. And the President and the White
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: House have got to stop these unilateral cuts of this
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: chaos they're trying to promote and this idea that they're
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: looking forward to a shutdown because they can do a
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: lot of more cuts that they wouldn't be able to
• 26:36
  Speaker 12: do otherwise. I'm very concerned about that. I did a
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: post about that earlier today. So please everybody stay in touch,
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: keep track of what's going on, follow what's going on.
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: Let's work together to solve problems that face the people
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: in the United States of America.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: This guy just put this video out is the guy
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: who just should have said, hey, I just left the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Senate floor. I voted to shut down the government, and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I voted to shut down the government because I was
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: angry that we weren't giving illegal immigrants healthcare. The Schumer
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: shut down is a disaster. There's actually absolutely no point
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in the government being shut down right now now. They
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: shut down the government because of their demands. What were
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the Democrats' demands. They wanted to add one point five
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars to the national debt just to fund the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: government for three months. By the way, that's insane, it's
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: not sustainable. And it was for every port barrel, crazy
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: project like transition surgeries being covered and illegal immigrants getting healthcare.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: And they wanted you to spend one point five trillion
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of your tax dollars in a ninety day period to
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: keep the government open. Government shut down, by the way,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: is pure political theater.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: We know this.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: We know what the media does every single time. We
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: know what the media does, and they don't tell you
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the full story and they lie to you. And there
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: was no real negotiations here. This was clearly pre planned
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and even the Democrats can't decide did they do it?
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Did they not do it?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Because many Democrats are now furious, were the Indian Indian
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: born representative for admitting that they shut down the government.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I played it earlier, I'll play it again because its important.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think he realized what a dumba was being,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: but he told the truth.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Returning back to Detroit this morning after the Republicans failed
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: to show up in the US House, we got to
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: make sure Americans have the healthcare that they need. And
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: if that means you got to chuck this government down
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: and so be it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing. So they're telling you they did it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Now they're saying that they didn't do it, and now
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: trying to say that it's somehow not their fault, that
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they were being insane, trying to relitigate what the American
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: people just voted on.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: What did the American people vote on?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: They voted on Donald Trump cutting the spinning of government
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: number one. They voted to stop allowing for open borders.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: They voted to stop the insanity with illegal immigrants being
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: treated better than American citizens. And only forty seven percent
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: of even Democrats support a shutdown over their party's demands.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: So why did Schumer do it? It was one reason.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: It was one reason only. They decided to shut it
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: down because Chuck Schumer was afraid of the Marxist communists
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: and socialists in his party, and AOC is someone he
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: is terrified of absolutely terrified to be around because he's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: afraid that she's going to primary him, so he's had
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: to show I can be crazy, interrational and insane too.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Jadie Vance at the White House saying this.
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: That's a lot Matt boil this President. There's two key
• 30:18
  Speaker 13: Democrat lives I would like you to get you gone
• 30:21
  Speaker 13: to see if you can address. The first is is
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: that you're seeing a number of top Democrat leaders from
• 30:25
  Speaker 13: Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer to King Jeffries claim that
• 30:29
  Speaker 13: it is a Republican shutdown caused by Trump. The second
• 30:32
  Speaker 13: days is that they're out there now claiming that they
• 30:34
  Speaker 13: don't want to give healthcare to illegal aliens. Can you
• 30:38
  Speaker 13: address both of those laves from the Democrat Party.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so on the point that to say Republican shutdown, look,
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: it's obviously a Democratic shut down. Just look at the
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: vote totals in the House, look at the vote totals
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: in the Senate, and look at the President of the
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: United States own action and conduct throughout this crisis. Nearly
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: every single House Republican voted to open the government mat
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Nearly every single Senate Republican voted to open the government
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: last night and even to their credit, a few moderate
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Democrats voted to open the government. That's not a Republican
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: shut down. When nearly every single Senate Democrat votes to
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: shut it down and every Republican voted to open it up,
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: It's just obviously not true. Now, you can disagree about
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: a number of things, but you can't disagree about the
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: obvious fact that Republicans voted to open the government. The
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: President stands ready to sign that opening of the government.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: We just need a few more Democrats to join us
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: in that effort to open the government. Your final question
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: about illegal alien benefits, Look, the text is very clear
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: and I even saw I think it was George Stefanovoulis
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: and an interview with Mike Johnson did a fact check
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: that was totally rooted in baseless claims. It was basically
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Democrat propaganda. If you look at the legislative text that
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: they gave us, they tried to turn on two separate
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: provisions that would give health care benefits to illegal aliens.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Number One, if you're an American citizens, you've been to
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: a hospital in the last few years, you probably noticed
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: that wait times are especially large and very often somebody
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: who's there in the emergency room waiting is an illegal alien,
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: very often a person who can't even speak English. Why
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: by American citizens. The answer is a decision made by
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: the Biden administration that the Trump administration, working with Congressional Republicans, undid.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: We turned off that money spigot to healthcare funding for
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: illegal aliens. The Democrats, in their legislative texts, want to
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: turn it back on. That's one thing. The second thing,
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: Matt is, we all know that there are various ways
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: in which the Biden administration waved away illegal immigration status.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: They gave paroleees, they gave asylum claims to people who
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: were really claiming asylum, and when they waived the magic
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: want of amnesty, giving millions of people legal status even
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: though they were in the country illegally, they also gave
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: those people access to health care benefits. So what the
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Democrats are engaging in is a slide of hand. They're saying, no, no, no,
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: those weren't illegal aliens who were getting health care benefits
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: even though everybody, excuse me, he knows they were in
