- 3:07Speaker 3: Update and it starts right now.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Story number one.
- 3:10Speaker 3: It was called the Schumer shut down, but now you
- 3:13Speaker 3: need to add a name to that. Now it should
- 3:16Speaker 3: be called the Schumer Hakeem Jeffries shut down. This after
- 3:21Speaker 3: late breaking news that Hakeem Jeffries has rejected legislation to
- 3:26Speaker 3: extend Obamacare's subsidies for one year. The House Minority leader
- 3:31Speaker 3: rejecting that one year extension of Obamacare subsidies, and Democrats
- 3:37Speaker 3: had said that if they got this extension that the
- 3:40Speaker 3: government could have a clean cr and move forward. Well,
- 3:43Speaker 3: now the Democrats are proving that this is all being
- 3:47Speaker 3: done and orchestrated to hurt Americans. Democrats have not only
- 3:52Speaker 3: shut down the government over the issue, but also they've
- 3:55Speaker 3: shut down the government so Chuck Schumer can show just
- 3:57Speaker 3: how radical he is, hoping to avoid plaid a primary
- 4:01Speaker 3: for his Senate seat by aoc NA. Hill reported that
- 4:06Speaker 3: while Representative Jen Kaigins, a Republican from Virginia's advocating for
- 4:11Speaker 3: legislation that would extend it hands to Affordable Care Act
- 4:15Speaker 3: tax credit until the end of twenty twenty six, Hakeem
- 4:19Speaker 3: Jeffries criticized Republicans for thinking, quote, Democrats are going to
- 4:25Speaker 3: go along with a one year extension of the Affordable
- 4:28Speaker 3: Care Act subsidies. The congresswoman from Virginia is pushing legislation
- 4:34Speaker 3: to extend enhance Affordable Care Act tax credits, which expire
- 4:39Speaker 3: on January one, through the end of twenty twenty six.
- 4:43Speaker 3: The proposal has bipartisan support, and some political observers view
- 4:48Speaker 3: it as a launching pad for securing a deal to
- 4:51Speaker 3: reopen the government. Jeffries, though, has other ideas, saying that
- 4:57Speaker 3: this is well a moving goalpost. A one year extension
- 5:00Speaker 3: is quote now a non starter. That is not what
- 5:04Speaker 3: they were saying just days ago before the government shut down.
- 5:08Speaker 3: He emphasizes, well, the President Trump and Republicans had adopted
- 5:13Speaker 3: a permanent extension of the tax cut for the country's
- 5:16Speaker 3: wealthiest people earlier this year, and he says with that
- 5:19Speaker 3: in mind, he's now demanding a permanent extension of the
- 5:23Speaker 3: enhanced ACA subsidies, which overwhelmingly help working class people. They claim,
- 5:30Speaker 3: quote what world are these maga extremists? Yes, the rhetoric
- 5:35Speaker 3: has not been toned down by the left, even after
- 5:37Speaker 3: the assassination attempt on the President and the assassination of
- 5:41Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk, calling Conservatives now maga extremists living in right now.
- 5:47Speaker 3: He went on to say, to think that Democrats are
- 5:50Speaker 3: going to go along with a one year extension from
- 5:53Speaker 3: a group of people, meaning the Republicans who just permanently
- 5:57Speaker 3: extended massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors, is what
- 6:01Speaker 3: Jeffreys told reporters on Capitol Hill. Now, we also know
- 6:05Speaker 3: that real Americans are going to feel the effects that
- 6:08Speaker 3: the government shut down. Also the workers, many of them
- 6:11Speaker 3: being furloughed and are going to be missing paychecks. The
- 6:15Speaker 3: President United States of America saying this from the Oval Office.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Well, they're the ones that started it, they're the ones
- 6:21Speaker 1: that have it, and it's almost like a Kama Kazi
- 6:24Speaker 1: attack by them. You want to know the truth, this
- 6:27Speaker 1: is like a Kama Kazi attack. They they almost you know,
- 6:32Speaker 1: they have nothing to lose. They've lost the elections. They've
- 6:36Speaker 1: lost the presidential election in a landslide. I saw the
- 6:40Speaker 1: other day where Kamalissa. This was a very close election.
- 6:44Speaker 1: This was one of the biggest sweeps that anybody's ever had.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Won the popular vote by millions, won the electoral college
- 6:51Speaker 1: by a massive amount. They said, if I got two
- 6:55Speaker 1: hundred and seventy, that would be great, but I got
- 6:59Speaker 1: I think three hundred, well but three hundred and fifteen
- 7:02Speaker 1: and they got to twenty. So you know, we won that.
- 7:05Speaker 1: But we want counties. The big thing is counties. So
- 7:08Speaker 1: out of all of the counties, thousands and thousands we
- 7:11Speaker 1: got two thousand, five hundred. They got five hundred and
- 7:14Speaker 1: twenty five. It was a landslide, and we listen, Oh,
- 7:18Speaker 1: yes it was. It was one of the greatest victories
- 7:21Speaker 1: ever and it was a mandate to do what we're
- 7:24Speaker 1: doing now.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Donald Trump isn't the only one talking about how Democrats
- 7:28Speaker 3: are putting Americans at risk. The man in charge of Transportation,
- 7:33Speaker 3: Secretary Sean Duffy saying this today about air traffic controllers
- 7:38Speaker 3: and what Democrats are causing.
- 7:40Speaker 4: They work six days a week, right, so we don't
- 7:41Speaker 4: enough control, so they have to work overtime. And they're
- 7:45Speaker 4: family people, right, this is their living. They're concerned now
- 7:48Speaker 4: they don't get their pay tricks. How do I pay
- 7:50Speaker 4: my mortgage? How do I pay my car payment? What
- 7:52Speaker 4: do I do to put food in the kids table?
- 7:54Speaker 4: So the controllers yesterday were saying, we actually have to
- 7:57Speaker 4: think about working six days a week and then do
- 7:59Speaker 4: I go and take an uber job and try to
- 8:01Speaker 4: make extra money to put the food on the table.
- 8:04Speaker 4: All because Chuck Schumer is trying to have this political
- 8:06Speaker 4: fight instead of saying, let's do a clean cr let's
- 8:09Speaker 4: open the government up, Let's have a conversation about what
- 8:11Speaker 4: Democrats want to talk about. But do that over the
- 8:14Speaker 4: course of the next several months. Don't shut it down
- 8:16Speaker 4: and affect our airspace, our controllers and against it's a
- 8:21Speaker 4: huge problem. And again Burbank zero controllers came to work.
- 8:24Speaker 4: I don't support that they should. They should come to work.
- 8:26Speaker 4: They're supposed to come to work. But this is they
- 8:29Speaker 4: miss a paycheck yet, So why aren't they coming to work.
- 8:31Speaker 5: I mean it's only been six days.
- 8:33Speaker 4: So well, the paycheck, the pay the pay cycle ended yesterday, right,
- 8:41Speaker 4: their paychecks come next week, and they see it's on
- 8:43Speaker 4: the horizon, Brian, They're like, listen, do I see the
- 8:45Speaker 4: shut Do I see resolution of the shutdown? I don't
- 8:47Speaker 4: see it. So guess what I'm concerned about my own life,
- 8:51Speaker 4: my own family. And what we do is say again,
- 8:55Speaker 4: I want people when they travel to get to where
- 8:56Speaker 4: they're going. So if we don't have controllers, we're going
- 8:59Speaker 4: to make sure there's face is safe. So what we
- 9:01Speaker 4: do is we'll slow traffic, we'll shut down traffic. And
- 9:04Speaker 4: that's what you saw in Burbank. We saw, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 4: significant delays because controllers weren't.
- 9:08Speaker 3: There significant delays in Burbank and there's a very good
- 9:12Speaker 3: chance those delays could extend around the country. We also
- 9:16Speaker 3: know that Democrats are filling the heat is their constituents
- 9:19Speaker 3: are trying to get very angry about what is happening
- 9:22Speaker 3: right now. A perfect example of that is signor Agnes
- 9:26Speaker 3: King saying this on the vote count.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Where things stand with the shutdown. I've seen some polls
- 9:32Speaker 5: showing both parties the public is blaming both of them
- 9:35Speaker 5: for where things stand. What do you think about the
- 9:39Speaker 5: Democrats handling of it so far?
- 9:42Speaker 6: Well as you know. As you may know, I've voted
- 9:44Speaker 6: yes on the Continuing Resident the Republican House pass continuing
- 9:49Speaker 6: resolution because I'm concerned about the effects of the shutdown
- 9:54Speaker 6: on the country. On the other hand, I'm also concerned
- 9:57Speaker 6: that the Republicans have not forward to even commit to
- 10:03Speaker 6: serious discussions about the ACA issue, which is a big issue.
- 10:08Speaker 6: People are going to see double digit double digit is
- 10:11Speaker 6: the right word, could see more than ten thousand dollars
- 10:14Speaker 6: increases in their insurance premiums in a month, and I
- 10:20Speaker 6: think that's something we have to deal with.
- 10:23Speaker 3: You'll listen to the center there. That is a guy
- 10:25Speaker 3: that's an independent quote unquote. He's now even saying you
- 10:28Speaker 3: might change his vote and oppose a GOP build in
- 10:31Speaker 3: the shutdown if the Democrats are successful enough in their
- 10:35Speaker 3: new move, which is to say, you must give us
- 10:38Speaker 3: all the money we say we need for those subsidies
- 10:41Speaker 3: for the Obamacare Affordable Care Act, which has never been affordable,
- 10:46Speaker 3: and now we're witnessing just how much money it takes
- 10:49Speaker 3: to underwrite it. So here we are another day of
- 10:52Speaker 3: a shutdown, a president United States of America that clearly
- 10:56Speaker 3: is still doing his job and doing what he said
- 10:59Speaker 3: he was going to do for the American people. There
- 11:01Speaker 3: also is another part of this, is there a chance
- 11:04Speaker 3: we can get rid of a bunch of bureaucrats almost
- 11:07Speaker 3: with Doge two point zero. That may be the leverage
- 11:11Speaker 3: that Republicans have to move the needle, as they're making
- 11:14Speaker 3: it clear now that they are looking at getting rid
- 11:16Speaker 3: of quite a few many who are bureaucrats that may
- 11:21Speaker 3: not be actually serving the American people instead they are
- 11:25Speaker 3: serving themselves. So here we are the shutdown is real.
- 11:29Speaker 3: The President also saying hang in there when it comes
- 11:32Speaker 3: to shutdown because he promises good things are coming.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Then the Democrat on all of this, because you know
- 11:39Speaker 1: the inrodment. People are expression law paying any government shut down.
- 11:45Speaker 2: And while you're dealing with the Democrats, of course, Republicans
- 11:47Speaker 2: are standing or ground.
- 11:49Speaker 1: What is your message to repas the Erican people who.
- 11:52Speaker 2: May encounter some of this pain and the air?
- 11:55Speaker 1: How do you get a well up till now that
- 11:57Speaker 1: hasn't been a great deal of pain. It'd be a
- 12:00Speaker 1: great deal of pain, but up till now that hasn't been.
- 12:02Speaker 1: I will say this, just hang in there, because I
- 12:04Speaker 1: think a lot of good things are going to happen,
- 12:06Speaker 1: so totally can say it. I mean, I think a lot
- 12:08Speaker 1: of good things could happen, and that could also pertain
- 12:11Speaker 1: to healthcare.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Good things are going to happen. President saying that, and
- 12:16Speaker 3: I think many that voted for him believe the President
- 12:19Speaker 3: when he said it.
