Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: But first tonight it is shut down showdown.
- 0:03Speaker 2: We are twenty seven hours away from another government shutdown,
- 0:07Speaker 2: and there is just one party that is political to blame,
- 0:10Speaker 2: and that would be the Democrats, led by Senate Minority
- 0:13Speaker 2: leader in name only, that would be Democrat Chuckie Schumer
- 0:16Speaker 2: and the House Minority Leader in name only, Hakim Jeffries,
- 0:20Speaker 2: two guys from Brooklyn, New York, have been in the
- 0:24Speaker 2: past big opponents of government shutdowns over the years. Is
- 0:27Speaker 2: a reminder of how much it has mattered to them in.
- 0:30Speaker 1: The first place and in the past. Take a look.
- 0:37Speaker 3: It is not normal to shut down the government when
- 0:39Speaker 3: we don't get what we want.
- 0:40Speaker 4: If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans
- 0:43Speaker 4: who suffer most a government shutdown. Mean seniors who rely
- 0:47Speaker 4: on Social Security could be thrown into chaos.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Families will be hurt, Farmers will be hurt.
- 0:54Speaker 5: It's the service members who will work without a paycheck.
- 0:58Speaker 5: It's the firefighters who will be furlough this shutdown.
- 1:02Speaker 3: You know who's gonna feel the pay You know who
- 1:04Speaker 3: it hurts you everyday people and the most vulnerable seniors, veterans,
- 1:09Speaker 3: working families, hungering kids. Y'all Democrats are signaling they're ready
- 1:18Speaker 3: for a fight this time. Schumer tells the Associated Press quote,
- 1:22Speaker 3: things have changed. It is not normal to shut down
- 1:25Speaker 3: the government when we don't get what we want.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Ah.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Democrats have a favorite method of keeping the government open,
- 1:33Speaker 2: something known as a clean cr continuing resolution. It just
- 1:37Speaker 2: keeps the government funding at current levels, no strings attached,
- 1:41Speaker 2: keep funding the government. Nobody gets laid off. Essential and
- 1:44Speaker 2: non essential services continue. Schumer loves clean crs so much
- 1:49Speaker 2: he once demanded one from President Trump back during Donald
- 1:52Speaker 2: Trump's first term. He even just ushered one through the
- 1:55Speaker 2: Senator earlier in the year to avoid a government shutdown.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Guess what Umer's radical leftist base they turned on him
- 2:02Speaker 2: like no tomorrow. They did not like the fact that
- 2:05Speaker 2: he did the very thing that he is champion for
- 2:08Speaker 2: his entire career, keeping the government open at all costs.
- 2:11Speaker 2: But now the party that he leads in name only,
- 2:15Speaker 2: he has zero power. Chuck knows he would face a
- 2:18Speaker 2: primary challenge from AOC at any moment. He must obey
- 2:22Speaker 2: his radical base, and the same goes for King Jeffries,
- 2:26Speaker 2: another leader in name only.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So here we are a government shutdown is looming.
- 2:30Speaker 2: The House passes a clean cr Schumer's favorite thing, keem
- 2:34Speaker 2: Jeffrey's favorite thing, and guess what, they're suddenly opposed Chucks.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Saying everything has changed now.
- 2:41Speaker 2: House Speaker Mike Johnson called him out today and Vice
- 2:44Speaker 2: President Van said, well, we appeared to be headed for
- 2:47Speaker 2: a real shutdown.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 2:49Speaker 5: The original thing they did with this negotiation was a
- 2:52Speaker 5: one point five trillion dollar spending package, basically saying to
- 2:55Speaker 5: the American people, we want to give massive amounts of money,
- 2:58Speaker 5: hundreds of billions of dollars to a league aliens for
- 3:00Speaker 5: their health care while Americans are struggling to pay their
- 3:03Speaker 5: health care bills. That was their initial foray into this negotiation.
- 3:07Speaker 5: We thought it was absurd. We told them it was absurd,
- 3:10Speaker 5: and now they come in here it's saying that if
- 3:12Speaker 5: you don't give us everything that we want, we're going
- 3:15Speaker 5: to shut down the government.
- 3:16Speaker 1: During the Biden administration, they were thirteen threatened shutdowns. The
- 3:20Speaker 1: Republicans in the minority did the right thing. We kept
- 3:22Speaker 1: the government open. We're simply asking for the Democrats do
- 3:26Speaker 1: the same.
- 3:27Speaker 2: All right, Chucky Schumer saying he's done with no strings.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Suddenly he's very into strings. A lot of them and
- 3:33Speaker 2: it's very expensive. But since he knows that he must
- 3:36Speaker 2: bow at the altar of the radicals that really run
- 3:39Speaker 2: his party in order to keep his job, now he
- 3:42Speaker 2: wants one point five trillion dollars tied to a mere
- 3:46Speaker 2: four week cr Schumer and his Democratic friends they want
- 3:51Speaker 2: free health care for illegals as part of that deal,
- 3:54Speaker 2: which is interesting because Democrats used to be totally against
- 3:58Speaker 2: free health care and befits for illegals.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Let's take another trip down memory lane.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I promise you're not going to see this in the
- 4:06Speaker 2: legacy media mob, fake news CNN or MSDNC.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Take a look. This is an anti fraud amendment.
- 4:13Speaker 4: All over where we go, people say, well, why can't
- 4:17Speaker 4: you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here? And
- 4:22Speaker 4: the number one answer we give our constituencies when they
- 4:25Speaker 4: come here they can get jobs, get benefits against the
- 4:29Speaker 4: law because of fraud.
- 4:30Speaker 6: And then, finally, as to illegal aliens, we agree with
- 4:34Speaker 6: you that we do not think the comprehensive healthcare benefits
- 4:38Speaker 6: should be extended to those who are undocumented workers and
- 4:41Speaker 6: illegal aliens. We do not want to do anything to
- 4:44Speaker 6: encourage more illegal immigration into this country. We know now
- 4:49Speaker 6: that too many people come in for medical care as
- 4:51Speaker 6: it is, we certainly don't want them having the same
- 4:54Speaker 6: benefits that American citizens are entitled to have.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Oh, Schumer and Hillary Ronal Clinton no healthcare for illegals. Now,
- 5:05Speaker 2: Schumer and the Democrats want PBSMPR. They want to get
- 5:08Speaker 2: all of their funding back. They for some reason want
- 5:12Speaker 2: to cancel out all of the money given to rural
- 5:15Speaker 2: hospitals in the One Big Beautiful Bill. And yeah, they
- 5:19Speaker 2: want all of us to keep funding woke programs all
- 5:22Speaker 2: over the world.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Let's bring back that spending.
- 5:25Speaker 2: And then the Democrats want something else as well, and
- 5:27Speaker 2: this is important. They want an extension of Joe Biden's
- 5:30Speaker 2: Obamacare subsidies. They were designed to be a temporary measure
- 5:35Speaker 2: during COVID a health emergency. What does that mean, Well,
- 5:39Speaker 2: thanks to the brilliance of Obamacare, anyone in America doesn't
- 5:43Speaker 2: have health insurance, legal or illegal basically has two options.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Get on government funded Medicaid or buy a plan on
- 5:51Speaker 2: the Obamacare exchange. Unfortunately, most of those Obamacare exchange plans
- 5:56Speaker 2: are basically useless. They cost a ton of money and
- 5:59Speaker 2: they cover almost nothing. And remember, until Donald Trump came along,
- 6:03Speaker 2: there was a major tax penalty for any American that
- 6:06Speaker 2: didn't have Obamacare. People were being forced by the government
- 6:10Speaker 2: to buy allows they product as part of Joe Biden's
- 6:13Speaker 2: America Rescue Plan. That's the two trillion dollars that he
- 6:18Speaker 2: dropped into the economy at the start of his term
- 6:21Speaker 2: to quote spike inflation while the government heavily subsidized the
- 6:25Speaker 2: cost of those Obamacare exchange plans that Medicaid instead of
- 6:30Speaker 2: improving the products. As a result, Democrats decided the government
- 6:34Speaker 2: would pay for it now. And those subsidies are expiring,
- 6:37Speaker 2: and guess what Republicans are not going to fund it.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Democrats want, Oh, let's pay all this healthcare in perpetuity, basically.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Universal health care.
- 6:46Speaker 2: And by the way, that would be trillions of dollars
- 6:49Speaker 2: in exchange for keeping the government open for what a
- 6:51Speaker 2: mere four weeks. It's never going to happen, and I'm
- 6:55Speaker 2: going to be probably the only consistent one. I don't
- 6:58Speaker 2: care if the government shuts down. Our military will still
- 7:01Speaker 2: be defending us. We'll still have border patrol working, well
- 7:04Speaker 2: of law enforcement working. We will also have Social Security
- 7:10Speaker 2: and Medicaid provided to the elderly in this country. Those
- 7:13Speaker 2: in need will get their checks, etc. Doesn't scare me,
- 7:18Speaker 2: never has, never will. But Schumer, the Democrats, they better
- 7:22Speaker 2: be careful here. Shutting down the government means the White
- 7:25Speaker 2: House and the Office Management and Budget OMB. They got
- 7:28Speaker 2: a lot of control over what will stay open and
- 7:31Speaker 2: what will be closed. Essential services our military again they
- 7:34Speaker 2: will continue. But for all those deep state bureaucrats in DC,
- 7:39Speaker 2: many of which probably need to move to the public sector,
- 7:42Speaker 2: you might actually be looking at the greatest well economic
- 7:47Speaker 2: Washington bureaucracy jiu jitsu and history, and that would be
- 7:51Speaker 2: Doze two point zero. So good luck Chuck, good luck Hakeem.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Be careful what you wish.
