- 0:04Speaker 1: The speech that the Secretary of War and that's right.
- 0:07Speaker 1: His title now is the Secretary of War, not the
- 0:10Speaker 1: secretary to make you feel better about yourself. Not the
- 0:13Speaker 1: Secretary of the military is a social experiment. No, the
- 0:17Speaker 1: Secretary of War, Pete Hegsith turned in what was and
- 0:21Speaker 1: I mean this one of the greatest speeches in American
- 0:24Speaker 1: history yesterday and you're thinking, oh, you're just biased in
- 0:27Speaker 1: your you're just like, No, it truly was. If you've
- 0:31Speaker 1: got people in your life and God forbid this ridiculous
- 0:33Speaker 1: media we have now that are telling you that that
- 0:35Speaker 1: was some sort of a hackneyed speech, it tells you
- 0:39Speaker 1: everything you need to know. It was. It was excellent.
- 0:42Speaker 1: It was. And if if there are people that can't
- 0:45Speaker 1: recognize the power of what that was, and that'll go
- 0:48Speaker 1: down to the record books, and what a good communicator
- 0:51Speaker 1: that guy is, they don't understand anything or they're lying
- 0:55Speaker 1: to you, because that was very impactful. But of course
- 0:59Speaker 1: the melt is well underway, and it began almost before
- 1:02Speaker 1: even stepped off the stage yesterday. The media meltdown from
- 1:06Speaker 1: all the typical characters, people who are coming out coming
- 1:09Speaker 1: out of the woodwork, and then you have the people
- 1:11Speaker 1: who he was talking to directly going on their TikTok
- 1:13Speaker 1: accounts in their car after the speech and complaining about it.
- 1:16Speaker 1: And well, it's different because is there an organization, Is
- 1:19Speaker 1: there a specific body that was more in need of
- 1:23Speaker 1: reform than the US military, which is so sad. And
- 1:26Speaker 1: I say this as somebody that did not serve Unfortunately
- 1:28Speaker 1: I did not, But just like you, I'm an American
- 1:31Speaker 1: citizen who understands what their job is is to not
- 1:34Speaker 1: make people feel better, and it's not to include you.
- 1:40Speaker 1: A perfect example of an organization that has one direct
- 1:43Speaker 1: purpose as the US military. It is to kill our enemies.
- 1:47Speaker 1: That's it. And that sounds harsh, but that's exactly what
- 1:50Speaker 1: it is. Just another reason why what he said yesterday
- 1:53Speaker 1: was so impactful. We'll get to that as well as
- 1:55Speaker 1: all the media meltdown. Also have a government shutdown? What
- 1:58Speaker 1: does that mean exactly?
- 1:59Speaker 2: For us?
- 2:00Speaker 1: Yes, forever, for all the normal be What does a
- 2:02Speaker 1: partial government shutdown mean for everybody? It's a bad time
- 2:05Speaker 1: to be a quote unquote non essential government employee because
- 2:09Speaker 1: if it didn't come back, is that the worst thing?
- 2:12Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 2:12Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. And it's October Welcome to October.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Lighten it up. At the end of this thing, talk
- 2:17Speaker 1: about some great things to look forward to, because there
- 2:19Speaker 1: are some great things happening this month. Besides that, this
- 2:22Speaker 1: is great too. Thanks for finding the Wicked Radio live
- 2:24Speaker 1: stream and the replay audio podcast listeners and all you folks.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Thanks for being here. Appreciate you. Let's get right to it,
- 2:29Speaker 1: and I mean this sincerely. I look at everything through
- 2:33Speaker 1: a communication lens. I just do you know, to have
- 2:35Speaker 1: to be in a broadcaster and communication coach in one
- 2:39Speaker 1: way and looking at this stuff. I look at it
- 2:41Speaker 1: this way. Take whatever bias, whatever preconceived notion you have
- 2:46Speaker 1: of Pete hagg Ziff, of this administration, out of it,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and look at this as just a talk, a public talk.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And you can put this up against anybody you like,
- 2:55Speaker 1: any of the motivational speakers, any of your favorite politicians,
- 2:59Speaker 1: any of the Ted Talk people that put it together.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Just take away what you know about Pete Hegzith, yay
- 3:06Speaker 1: or nay, and judge this on the effectiveness of this talk.
- 3:11Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, when you do this, you realize
- 3:13Speaker 1: how incredible this was. It was incredible. He had teleprompters.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I don't think he used them. But then of course
- 3:20Speaker 1: there's the message. Let's get to some of the basic points.
- 3:22Speaker 4: This administration has done a great deal from day one
- 3:25Speaker 4: to remove the social.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Justice, politically correct and toxic ideological garbage that had infected
- 3:31Speaker 3: our department, to rip out the politics, no more identity months,
- 3:39Speaker 3: DEI offices, dudes in dresses.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And the first reaction to this as people at MSNBC
- 3:48Speaker 1: and you know, the DNC, we're all to live posting
- 3:52Speaker 1: as he's talking, you know about this because they're threatened
- 3:54Speaker 1: by it, because this was the grand social experiment. You know, Well,
- 3:57Speaker 1: he's exaggerating all of that, is he? I've seen them
- 4:00Speaker 1: because I pay way too much attention to social media,
- 4:03Speaker 1: so I can talk about this stuff with you. I've
- 4:05Speaker 1: seen it. Maybe you have to just as a casual observer,
- 4:08Speaker 1: or maybe you're even more attuned to it than I have.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I've seen over the past few years because the advent
- 4:13Speaker 1: of of real promotion of social media, all the videos
- 4:19Speaker 1: of the military rainbow flags. How did we get to
- 4:25Speaker 1: that point? There was the navy dude, I don't know
- 4:27Speaker 1: if he's still there, but he was serving on a ship.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Would go on his account and would be in a
- 4:35Speaker 1: Navy uniform. Swear to god, this was a thing Navy
- 4:38Speaker 1: uniform would snap his fingers and then all of a sudden,
- 4:40Speaker 1: he's in his cross dressing outfit happened like this kind
- 4:45Speaker 1: of stuff happened. We know about the military standards, oh,
- 4:49Speaker 1: the physical fitness standards that have been lessened. Again, let's
- 4:52Speaker 1: not forget the basic mission of the military. It's to
- 4:56Speaker 1: kill our enemies. It's not to make you feel good
- 4:59Speaker 1: or to find your self or you could develop. I
- 5:01Speaker 1: know a lot of people personally heard from a lot
- 5:03Speaker 1: of people who you know, straightened out their lives, found themselves,
- 5:06Speaker 1: find out what they are in the military. Not that
- 5:10Speaker 1: not coming out of the closet in a public way
- 5:12Speaker 1: do That's totally fine. You don't have to promote it
- 5:16Speaker 1: in a military uniform. And how about those physical standards.
- 5:19Speaker 1: So this is the thing is which was interesting to
- 5:21Speaker 1: me that the keyed in on. I thought they were
- 5:23Speaker 1: I thought they were going to attack Pete hegsit the
- 5:25Speaker 1: most about the getting rid of the woke stuff, the politicization,
- 5:31Speaker 1: the unnecessary bureaucratic fat and red tape that's in the military.
- 5:36Speaker 1: I thought they'd attack him on most of that they
- 5:38Speaker 1: keyed in on the physical fitness standards, and they attacked
- 5:42Speaker 1: him most on that, which I found was interesting. But
- 5:44Speaker 1: here's what he said, and this is the one that
- 5:46Speaker 1: got them all in it with physical fitness and appearance.
- 5:49Speaker 4: If the Secretary of War can do regular hard pt,
- 5:53Speaker 4: so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's
- 5:58Speaker 4: tiring to look out at combat formations or really any
- 6:01Speaker 4: formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to
- 6:06Speaker 4: see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the
- 6:08Speaker 4: Pentagon and leading commands around the country, in the world.
- 6:11Speaker 1: It's a bad look. It is bad. Oh, he used
- 6:15Speaker 1: the F word. He called people fat. Have you seen
- 6:19Speaker 1: some of them? Have you seen some of them in
- 6:21Speaker 1: that room? And it's amazing. The criticism here now on
- 6:24Speaker 1: the mainstream media, of course, and we'll get to that.
- 6:25Speaker 1: We'll get the hysterical idiots on the view in MSNBC
- 6:28Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. But the criticism from the
- 6:31Speaker 1: what Trump is always called the TV generals, you know,
- 6:34Speaker 1: the bureaucrats. They've never won a war, they've never done anything,
- 6:37Speaker 1: They've never they couldn't do a push up. But they're
- 6:39Speaker 1: the ones criticizing all of this and well, that's not
- 6:42Speaker 1: that's not what we represent. Are you sure, because let's
- 6:47Speaker 1: not forget about this. Going back to his title for
- 6:50Speaker 1: a second, as Secretary of War. That's what it was
- 6:52Speaker 1: always called. It was the Department of War before we
- 6:55Speaker 1: softened it up and called it the Department of Defense. War.
- 6:59Speaker 1: It is there. They are there to protect us and
- 7:02Speaker 1: to kill our enemies if we need them to. That's it.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Why would this giant organization, well we know why. It's
- 7:08Speaker 1: because he has massive funding. Why would this become a
- 7:11Speaker 1: social experiment for all these people and to lessen the
- 7:14Speaker 1: physical fitness standards. What I loved about what he did,
- 7:18Speaker 1: and this is another great speech about the content, not
- 7:21Speaker 1: just delivery, but the content he put in there was
- 7:23Speaker 1: how he made sure that he included the counter argument
- 7:27Speaker 1: in it. And he said, if females in the military,
- 7:29Speaker 1: we love them, we accept them, they're great. If they
- 7:32Speaker 1: can meet these physical standards, fantastic. This isn't any kind
- 7:35Speaker 1: of a slight against women, but there happened to be
- 7:37Speaker 1: women who need to be powerful warfighters as well. And
- 7:40Speaker 1: he included that, now your favorite idiotic news sources that
- 7:44Speaker 1: are out there, Yes, I'm thinking MSNBC, whatever the hell
- 7:48Speaker 1: else that thing is called. They never talked about that.
- 7:50Speaker 1: They keton on the language, that's not what we're about,
- 7:53Speaker 1: not we're about unity, and we're about No, you're not.
- 7:56Speaker 1: But here they were unhinged immediate reaction. Listen to how
- 8:01Speaker 1: outraged they were that you would dare up the physical
- 8:05Speaker 1: standards of our warflight.
- 8:07Speaker 5: Other individuals who are supposed to be leadership are using
- 8:09Speaker 5: this kind of language. I call that the meritocracy myth.
- 8:13Speaker 5: And it feels as though that that myth of meritocracy,
- 8:16Speaker 5: this idea that the women and the people of color,
- 8:19Speaker 5: the anybody in the LGBTQ folks, they are all there
- 8:22Speaker 5: because of some help or some preference.
- 8:25Speaker 1: That idea is a lie.
- 8:27Speaker 5: But it feels as like it's a lie that they
- 8:29Speaker 5: feel like Heike Sith especially has to tell because then
- 8:33Speaker 5: they can twist the narrative. They can twist the truth.
- 8:35Speaker 1: You can hide X what's been twisted. It was twisted before.
- 8:38Speaker 1: There have been standards, he pointed them out. We've all
- 8:41Speaker 1: seen them. There have been standards of promotion based on
- 8:45Speaker 1: some sort of lack of perceived tough upbringing you had,
- 8:48Speaker 1: or whatever your gender is, or how you qualify. And
- 8:51Speaker 1: I love the first line out of her mouth, this
- 8:54Speaker 1: myth of meritocracy. Is there any organization outside of the
- 8:58Speaker 1: military where meritocracy, advancement based on merit and what you
- 9:02Speaker 1: deserve should be exemplified in the US military, that should
- 9:06Speaker 1: be the example of it. Myth of meritocracy. You know
- 9:10Speaker 1: what it's about. It's about power, and it's about advancing
- 9:14Speaker 1: people that really don't deserve it, but they would get
- 9:18Speaker 1: there because they are of a race or preferred gender
- 9:21Speaker 1: or any of this other crap that existed there before.
- 9:24Speaker 1: That's not what the military is. And again fascinating, fascinating.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Oh and there was another host on there, and I'll
- 9:30Speaker 1: have the clip for you, but another host on that
- 9:32Speaker 1: very same panel, she was upset, very upset at Pete Hegseth,
- 9:37Speaker 1: Secretary of War, saying that, uh, you know, diversity is
- 9:42Speaker 1: not our strength, the unity is. They're all upset about that. Oh,
- 9:44Speaker 1: how can you how can you say that diversity is
- 9:46Speaker 1: the magic word. It's the d word. It's the magic Oh,
- 9:49Speaker 1: it's the magic fix. Diversity is the magic fix for everything.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Diversity without that unity aspect he was talking about, is deadly,
- 9:58Speaker 1: absolutely deadly. The divide is in the word. Diversity is
- 10:03Speaker 1: great as long as it winds up with unity. But
- 10:05Speaker 1: they were horrified at him saying that. Absolutely horrified, which
- 10:09Speaker 1: should tell you what their agenda is. And horrendous that
- 10:13Speaker 1: they picked on the military to use their social experiment.
- 10:15Speaker 1: And this isn't recent It's been bad recently, this wasn't
- 10:18Speaker 1: in the last administration. You could blame other presidents as well,
- 10:21Speaker 1: even some of your favorites. You could blame Bush for this.
- 10:24Speaker 1: You could blame Clinton for this, certainly blame Obama. You
- 10:26Speaker 1: could go back to Reagan where all this started. This
- 10:29Speaker 1: isn't just a Democrat Republican thing. This is the Henhouse
- 10:34Speaker 1: getting overtaken by some bad roosters, is what this was.
- 10:37Speaker 1: And that rot is finally being fixed, and there are
- 10:39Speaker 1: people in this administration not afraid to fix it. I
- 10:42Speaker 1: will tell you that that much. He is the good guy.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Another thing about that speech, and why I keep going
- 10:46Speaker 1: back to this as a communicator, how effective this was.
- 10:49Speaker 1: There is a now clear determining factor with people in
- 10:53Speaker 1: this administration. You may not like the policy, you may not.
- 10:56Speaker 1: You may not like them personally, you may not every
- 11:00Speaker 1: single one of them are great communicators. They are, Oh,
- 11:04Speaker 1: but Trump's he's an idiot up there and he sounds
- 11:07Speaker 1: like a truck driver. That that means nothing when it
- 11:10Speaker 1: comes to communication, because he's a billionaire and a president.
- 11:15Speaker 1: They can speak to a dockworker, that's a great communicator.
- 11:20Speaker 1: But those same boneheads on MSNBC will tell you something different.
- 11:23Speaker 1: They don't understand what good communication is because they're simply
- 11:26Speaker 1: Propaganda's all they're doing, or reading the copy points and
- 11:29Speaker 1: getting the same propaganda lines out from their masters at
- 11:32Speaker 1: the DNC. That's what's happened. That's what's happened to people.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Let's go to some other boneheads. Nobody dumber on television
- 11:38Speaker 1: than the idiots on the view. What was their ticket
- 11:40Speaker 1: to see? Actually?
- 11:41Speaker 6: Really good fuddle by Why he did that? The optics
- 11:45Speaker 6: were terrible, meaning all of our top military brass are
- 11:48Speaker 6: all in one place, and we spent six million dollars
- 11:51Speaker 6: to get them there. That didn't make a lot of
- 11:53Speaker 6: sense to me. It also didn't make a lot of
- 11:55Speaker 6: sense to me that he was saying that he was
- 11:58Speaker 6: going to toughen physical standard and review the anti hazing
- 12:02Speaker 6: policy by sort of implementing a hazing policy.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Tough again, we're not talking about high schools, even though
- 12:12Speaker 1: that should happen too, in my opinion, we're talking about
- 12:14Speaker 1: the United States military, toughening fit upping our physical fitness
- 12:19Speaker 1: standards and standards across the board in our US military
- 12:22Speaker 1: for our warfighters. She sees as some sort of a
- 12:26Speaker 1: hazing policy. You can't, you just can't, and she believes it.
- 12:30Speaker 1: She's not just reading a copy point. I mean, these
- 12:32Speaker 1: are these are people that are just I'm sorry to
- 12:35Speaker 1: throw insults, just just just base level stupid. I mean,
- 12:39Speaker 1: that's what they are. And she brings up a point
- 12:41Speaker 1: I had forgotten about because this is one of the
- 12:43Speaker 1: ridiculous narratives they had last week when this this meeting
- 12:46Speaker 1: was announced, brought in all of our top brests in
- 12:51Speaker 1: one point, and then they criticized the expense of that
- 12:53Speaker 1: and how much at all it is. Do you remember
- 12:56Speaker 1: I looked past this, didn't talk about it on the podcast.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Do you remember the criticism of this again, same criticism
- 13:03Speaker 1: and the same wording through all the networks, which is
- 13:05Speaker 1: how you know it's propaganda. Do you remember what they
- 13:07Speaker 1: were saying about this last week? I forgot about this
- 13:10Speaker 1: until she mentioned it. They said, gathering together, all of
- 13:15Speaker 1: our generals in one place. You know who else did that? Oh,
- 13:18Speaker 1: that's right, Hitler did that. They actually tried to use
- 13:23Speaker 1: that criticism. It was so insane at the time, I
- 13:25Speaker 1: didn't even bring it up to you, but she reminded
- 13:26Speaker 1: me of that. They actually tried. They actually tried to
- 13:29Speaker 1: push that lie. These people are insane. But the reaction
- 13:32Speaker 1: also came from acting US military members. Now I know
- 13:37Speaker 1: this for a fact, as I've heard from some after
- 13:38Speaker 1: the speech, some people who are active military and some veterans.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Again full disclosure, I'm not, but I heard from them
- 13:44Speaker 1: who loved this, loved it. But you know the ones
- 13:48Speaker 1: that would dare to go on Instagram or TikTok or
- 13:52Speaker 1: Facebook or x or whatever it is to complain about this,
- 13:54Speaker 1: you know the ones that are most affected. Again, the
- 13:57Speaker 1: ones you're not going to hear about. Active military members
- 14:00Speaker 1: that loved this, that have been saying for years, Yes,
- 14:03Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for flaying the fat out of
- 14:05Speaker 1: our organization. Thanks thanks for toughening the US standards, Thanks
- 14:09Speaker 1: for getting refocused on what we're supposed to be as warfighters.
- 14:13Speaker 1: You'll never hear from them because they're doing their jobs right.
- 14:17Speaker 1: But of course, oh millions. And I just cherry picked
- 14:19Speaker 1: this one because she's getting a lot of hits. They
- 14:21Speaker 1: went on TikTok to complain about it. They went on Instagram,
- 14:24Speaker 1: they complained about all this stuff. These are the ones
- 14:26Speaker 1: that are the problem. Here's one. I don't know her name,
- 14:29Speaker 1: but she's just one example. Went on TikTok and she
- 14:31Speaker 1: getting a lot of hits about this, and she's a
- 14:33Speaker 1: drill sergeant. Seems to be in good physical fitness. I
- 14:37Speaker 1: don't know what she's complaining about, but she's not happy
- 14:40Speaker 1: about this. Watch what she says, Listen to what she says,
- 14:43Speaker 1: and tell me this isn't part of the problem.
- 14:45Speaker 7: Good afternoon everyone. So today I just wanted to come
- 14:49Speaker 7: on here and tell you that a your leader, it
- 14:55Speaker 7: doesn't any type of leader.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Ryan.
- 14:59Speaker 7: You could be a drill sergeant like me, a section NCO,
- 15:02Speaker 7: a platoon sergeant, a first sergeant.
- 15:07Speaker 8: And if you think that you are going to have
- 15:12Speaker 8: the capability to be disrespectful, to be malicious, to be
- 15:18Speaker 8: spiteful with people's careers, with the people that work for
- 15:23Speaker 8: you in general, just remember Karma knows your name.
- 15:33Speaker 1: You get the point. Well, first of all, what I
- 15:35Speaker 1: would say to that person is thank you for your
- 15:37Speaker 1: service and what you do. And the second thing I
- 15:39Speaker 1: would say is I think you should be court martialed
- 15:41Speaker 1: to be honest with you, And that's just a citizen
- 15:43Speaker 1: talking because I don't want you going on. First of all,
- 15:46Speaker 1: here's the first problem. She sees that as disrespectful for
- 15:51Speaker 1: the Secretary of War, the boss of all these people
- 15:55Speaker 1: that were in that room, all the fat generals he called.
- 15:58Speaker 1: She calls that disrespectful for upping the stand to protect
- 16:00Speaker 1: the American citizens. Do you think that's somebody that understands
- 16:03Speaker 1: what her role is. Here's the other question I thought
- 16:05Speaker 1: about this. She says, she's a drill sergeant. If she
- 16:08Speaker 1: happens to get a sense that you disagree with her politics,
- 16:11Speaker 1: how do you think she's gonna treat you? Probably not well, yeah,
- 16:15Speaker 1: probably not well. I think that's what that's what needs
- 16:17Speaker 1: to go, not just the fat generals. I think that
- 16:20Speaker 1: anybody that would first of all, go on a social
- 16:22Speaker 1: media account to complain about your boss in the military.
- 16:26Speaker 1: You know this isn't you know, you know, you know,
- 16:28Speaker 1: working for corporate America, you're in the military. That's part
- 16:32Speaker 1: of the standards that need to be up, So no
- 16:35Speaker 1: sympathy whatever happens to her or anybody else complaining about it.
- 16:38Speaker 1: But remember this, truly remember this, because it was great
- 16:41Speaker 1: because this did this speech did happen before all of
- 16:44Speaker 1: the top rasts and was directed to all of the
- 16:46Speaker 1: military members. Most of them, the ones sadly you're never
- 16:49Speaker 1: going to hear from because they're too busy doing their jobs,
- 16:51Speaker 1: loved it. Hardcore military members that love our country, that
- 16:56Speaker 1: love you and me, that want to protect us, that
- 16:58Speaker 1: will that would die for us. They're happy as hell
- 17:03Speaker 1: to have the military cleaned up. They loved it. The
- 17:06Speaker 1: ones that Pete Hagsith was talking about directly, the fat generals,
- 17:10Speaker 1: the woke people in the military, the fat bureaucrats that
- 17:14Speaker 1: do nothing, they and her, just rank and file military
- 17:19Speaker 1: members that think it's a social experiment or think that
- 17:22Speaker 1: they have super rights. They hate it, and that should
- 17:24Speaker 1: tell you everything you need to know. Oh and don't
- 17:27Speaker 1: even get me started about the media idiots who hate
- 17:30Speaker 1: this kind of thing because this was their grand experiment.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I honestly think the divisive people in the country, the
- 17:36Speaker 1: leadership that had a determination to divide this with the
- 17:41Speaker 1: woke politics, and it started with political correctness, and then
- 17:45Speaker 1: DEI stuff and all of this stuff. I think they
- 17:48Speaker 1: directed that at the media, approval, at the military, to
- 17:50Speaker 1: prove a point I really did. I think they looked
- 17:52Speaker 1: at that those who want to tear this country apart.
- 17:55Speaker 1: I think they looked at the military, and they said,
- 17:57Speaker 1: if we can get this done in the US military,
- 18:00Speaker 1: we can tear anything aparts. Can we can turn it
- 18:02Speaker 1: into our image. I truly truly believe that. All right,
- 18:06Speaker 1: let's get out of that. Let's talk about this government shutdown. Yes,
- 18:08Speaker 1: there is a partial shovernment government shovernment government shutdown. What
- 18:12Speaker 1: does it mean to you and me? They didn't pass
- 18:14Speaker 1: a resolution bill, So it means quote unquote non essential
- 18:17Speaker 1: employees are going to be off. Some services won't be there. Basically,
- 18:21Speaker 1: you're not really gonna feel it, are you? For now?
- 18:24Speaker 1: Non essential some things parks, data and reports won't be there.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Mandatory programs are going to be are going to continue
- 18:33Speaker 1: under interrupted, like Social Security, Like I said, traveling parks.
- 18:39Speaker 1: It's going to be costly until they figure all this out.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Here's where it really matters. Federal employees. But two million
- 18:46Speaker 1: workers face furloughs or unpaid work. Now, this has already
- 18:51Speaker 1: been a discussion point about quote unquote non essential employees.
- 18:55Speaker 1: It's kind of a harsh term. You know, all humans
- 18:57Speaker 1: are essential, but still there's been talk about getting rid
- 19:01Speaker 1: of them. Anyway, What happens if the end of this
- 19:04Speaker 1: they don't come back. We were just talking about the
- 19:07Speaker 1: military and how bloated and over budget that thing is.
- 19:10Speaker 1: How but just the federal employees, because there has been
- 19:14Speaker 1: talk one of the threats out of the administration is
- 19:16Speaker 1: getting rid of up to one hundred thousand, maybe more
- 19:19Speaker 1: of these federal employees that aren't really doing too much.
- 19:24Speaker 1: We all know what we're talking about, their government employees,
- 19:26Speaker 1: not all. What if they don't come back and nobody
- 19:30Speaker 1: notices a difference, This is going to be a bad
- 19:33Speaker 1: time to be a career bureaucratage. It just that may
- 19:37Speaker 1: be the lasting result of this thing. I mean, who knows.
- 19:40Speaker 1: They may figure this out pretty soon, they may settled
- 19:42Speaker 1: it down. They may not be an impact at all.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Who the heck knows, But this is one of those shutdowns,
- 19:49Speaker 1: and this happens all the time. They didn't come up
- 19:51Speaker 1: with a continuing resolution. They're fighting about who's to blame,
- 19:53Speaker 1: who's not to blame, this one's a little more revealing.
- 19:56Speaker 1: It's revealing on who's essential and who's not, first of all.
- 20:00Speaker 1: And the second thing is and yes, this goes back
- 20:02Speaker 1: to the nasty meme that Trump was putting out there
- 20:04Speaker 1: because people started to question what this fight was over.
- 20:07Speaker 1: And now they understand. Now it's revealing exactly what this
- 20:10Speaker 1: shutdown is over. Now. There was a reporter, small outlet
- 20:14Speaker 1: I think she was from, like Lindell TV or something.
- 20:16Speaker 1: You know, Mike Lindelda, my pillow guy. He's got a
- 20:20Speaker 1: network now. Anyway, she asked a great question of Maxine
- 20:22Speaker 1: Waters on the Capitol steps yesterday. Fascinating, fascinating answer that
- 20:28Speaker 1: I haven't heard any of the other smarter Democrats actually admit.
- 20:31Speaker 1: She's in so many words, admits that this is for
- 20:33Speaker 1: health care. For a leader, Democrats want to prioritize the
- 20:36Speaker 1: healthcare of illegal aliens over a government shutdown, because if
- 20:39Speaker 1: the government does shut down America, excuse.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Me, stop it right there, we're not prioritizing. What we're
- 20:46Speaker 2: doing is saying simply, we want to keep the government open,
- 20:50Speaker 2: and we want to work with the Republicans and have
- 20:53Speaker 2: a bipartisan agreement to keep this government open and healthcare
- 20:58Speaker 2: is at the top of agenda.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Acrost's demanding health care for illegal aliens.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Democrats are demanding health care for everybody.
- 21:07Speaker 1: So illegals. Why can't reporters like she did. I don't
- 21:13Speaker 1: know her name, she did a great job. Why can't reporters,
- 21:16Speaker 1: even from like Fox and of course the other mainstream networks.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Why can't they ask direct questions like she did. She's
- 21:23Speaker 1: talking to one of the most prominent members of Congress,
- 21:26Speaker 1: and she asked her the direct question we all want
- 21:28Speaker 1: to know. So are they fighting for health care for illegals?
- 21:32Speaker 1: And her answer was, for all you know, the standard
- 21:35Speaker 1: lineup for all Americans, which tells you what they mean
- 21:38Speaker 1: is they're they're fighting for healthcare and benefits for illegals.
- 21:41Speaker 1: She got the answer right there, very revealing. This partial
- 21:44Speaker 1: government shut down unlike the other ones. So I don't know.
- 21:48Speaker 1: We'll see what comes out of this thing. But a
- 21:49Speaker 1: lot of the it's a bad time to be a
- 21:52Speaker 1: career bureau right, I'll tell you that much. They may
- 21:54Speaker 1: not be coming back, who knows. All right, let me
- 21:56Speaker 1: wrap this up. All of this stuff is frustrating, but
- 21:58Speaker 1: don't be frustrated. It's October. First of all, let's celebrate
- 22:02Speaker 1: that fact you made it this far through the long
- 22:04Speaker 1: hot summer. For the most part. Stuff to look forward
