Latest / First Thing Today with Joe Thomas / "Shutdowns" (Friday September 26, 2025, Hour 3)
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: This is at the beginning of a large accountability round up.
- 0:05The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 0:08Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Moon Jeorde said, steal me.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Have a day, wait at least for work.
- 0:19Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scook.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Then Joe has everything, agenda, all the treasures seven, the
- 0:29one that Joe's as smiled.
- 0:31Speaker 5: He only is yes, yes.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Yes, some people think it's vacuous, but I actually am happy.
- 0:39I want to be here, hold these truths.
- 0:45Speaker 6: Recommendations under statement least a couple of days.
- 0:50Speaker 7: Our judgment, no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
- 0:57Speaker 2: The good old days. James Comey, apparently not facing any
- 1:01reasonable prosecutor anymore, indicted yesterday. We'll get into that with
- 1:06our first things. But based in our conversation with Amon
- 1:09Blair Bob in Moscow, it's like, you know, good and bad.
- 1:18He's like, well, you good things, bad things, and what
- 1:21you said saying I mischaracterize the Crimea and don Bass
- 1:28region in the analogy with Russia. But also I don't,
- 1:34Bob real quick before we have to get our first
- 1:37things out here.
- 1:37Speaker 8: So what do you mean, Well, it.
- 1:42Speaker 9: Was the Dawn Bath.
- 1:43Speaker 10: The Crimea region technically succeeded from Ukraine.
- 1:48Speaker 8: And a democratic vote.
- 1:50Speaker 10: They had elections, and you have to understand the Nextican
- 1:53Crimea at that was always seventy to eighty percent Russian
- 1:59ethnic path, So they're obviously going to vote stay with
- 2:04the Russian government. So if the United States says that's
- 2:10in the legitimate election, it wasn't proper and everything else,
- 2:14So then what do we say about our own election
- 2:16in twenty twenty. So either we have to accept the
- 2:19fact that our own election in twenty twenty was totally
- 2:22legit and all these Republicans in President Trump crying fall
- 2:27are not being truthful, or we say our own twenty
- 2:30twenty election was rigged. So what's the difference between the two?
- 2:36Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and I go ahead. I'm sorry as you
- 2:40paused there and I thought that was my entrede.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Well, you can't have it both ways.
- 2:47Speaker 10: Well, once considered proper, then the other one has to
- 2:51be considered proper because it's under the same conditions.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Well, and I don't accept that premise, because corruption can
- 2:58happen in a lot of ways. I mean, hack Barack
- 3:00Obama bragged about you know, influencing Ukraine's elections, especially you
- 3:05know when they got the un TO authorized just leaving
- 3:09the Dawnbos out of some of their prime ministerial parliamentary
- 3:14elections because of the ethnic Russian population there. But my
- 3:19point was more to say, what would stop Claudia Shinbaum,
- 3:23who apparently has already been saber rattling on this, to
- 3:26say the same thing about the southwest of the United States.
- 3:29That's all I was getting at in that thirty seconds.
- 3:33Speaker 10: Oh, I agree, yeah, I agree totally with you. But
- 3:36what's to stop the Mexican people, which is a major
- 3:40population in California, to do the same thing that they
- 3:44did in the next decaid they want to succeed from
- 3:47the United States and become their own state.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Well, there's a rule of law that governs how how
- 3:52those things get done. They'd have to call and convention
- 3:55the states to that. Thank you, Bob, he's gone. Sometimes
- 4:02it's like you remember, you remember back during the First
- 4:05Gulf War, You know when Wolf Blitzer was on the
- 4:08satellite phone from Kandahar and and and the anchor would
- 4:14ask him a question and there would be like twenty
- 4:15seconds of dead air until the transmission got to him.
- 4:18Sometimes it happens even in our modern parlaance. Hey, our
- 4:23first things this morning, James Comey, as we alluded to,
- 4:30indicted yesterday on criminal charges and fairly important ones. If
- 4:34you're the head of a law enforcement organization making false
- 4:39statements an obstruction of justice. School districts in New York City, Chicago,
- 4:45and Fairfax, Virginia could lose twenty four million dollars in
- 4:48federal funds because they missed the administration's deadline to address
- 4:53civil rights violations. President Trump signed an executive order extending
- 4:59the TikTok headlines so that US and global investors will
- 5:02meet the requirements of a twenty twenty four law. Rumor
- 5:06has it out of the administration that Oracle will be
- 5:09taking over US operations. President Trump met with Turkish President
- 5:15Raja Erdigan at the White House yesterday, saying that they
- 5:19may lift the ban on US fighter jets being sold
- 5:22to the NATO ally after they purchased some defense systems
- 5:30from Russia. President Trump, during the Oval Office ceremony, was
- 5:34asked about Israeli allegations that they might move into the
- 5:37West Bank and occupy it. He said, quote, I will
- 5:40not allow Israel to annex the West Bank, Alan Greenspan,
- 5:45Ben Bernanki and Janet Yellen. Speaking of banks, also other
- 5:49top economic affil officials were at the Supreme Court to
- 5:54plead in favor of Lisa Cook being allowed to stay
- 5:58on the Central Bank's board. The Ivanpa solar power facility
- 6:03in the Mahabi Desert is shutting down two decades ahead
- 6:07of schedule after killing tens of thousands of birds and
- 6:10failing to meet even the lowest electricity output goals. Built
- 6:15on three four hundred and seventy one acres of public
- 6:18land and with one hundred and seventy three heliostad mirrors,
- 6:24and US credit card debt reached a record high in
- 6:27the last quarter one point two trillion dollars. Is your

- 10:03neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
- 10:08heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 10:12Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 10:15few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 10:21Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
- 10:24diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 13:11Speaker 1: Question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 13:18Speaker 23: Is no.
- 13:28Speaker 9: More cows.
- 13:29Speaker 15: We don't want cows, and now I I want to
- 13:31kill all the cows. It's the greatest con job ever
- 13:34perpetrated on the world.
- 13:35Speaker 2: In my opinion, Remember all those hours ago when President
- 13:40Trump said that to the United Nations. Having survived escalator
- 13:45Gate and teleprompter Gate, and what many of my New
- 13:51York friends have said is the predictable New York City
- 13:56traffic whenever the President is there and I when I
- 14:03read that the President was blaming somebody on the traffic.
- 14:07You've never been in New York City traffic when the
- 14:10President of the United States is visiting the un You're
- 14:13not going to win a lot of sympathy votes in
- 14:16New York City over that. But remember all those hours
- 14:19ago the way back machine, when President Trump called it
- 14:24this great con, this amazing con perpetrated on the world.
- 14:29Speaker 11: In my.
- 14:32Speaker 2: And this story out of southern California, this massive electric
- 14:36and there's a Virginia compartment to it. So Virginians and
- 14:40several of my friends who just they blanch at my
- 14:44analogous relationships. But we have what I refer to it's
- 14:48not its actual name, but I refer to it as
- 14:51the Ralph Northam Memorial Wind Turbine Installation. Hundreds of wind
- 14:56turbines that supposedly we're going to spend trillions of dollars
- 15:00to build hundreds of miles out in the Atlantic Ocean.
- 15:07And we're going to do this presumably because a it's
- 15:10windy all the time out in the Atlantic Ocean, which
- 15:14it's not. And well, mostly we're building them there because
- 15:22then we can't see them. And I feel like we've
- 15:28traveled this road so many times, you and me, even
- 15:32the new adopters of the program at four three, four
- 15:36eight eight two four two one seven text message that
- 15:41number if it's easier for you. I know, I fancifully
- 15:44imagine that the word morning comes from the ancient Greek
- 15:48word for last minute, because that's what mornings are. Everything,
- 15:54everything you put off, has to be done before you leave.
- 16:00But we've traveled this road before, whether it be wind
- 16:03turbines that were promoted on tops of mountains only to
- 16:09have the residents vacate their intestines over it, and then
- 16:17when presented with the possibility of a pipeline going across
- 16:21their mountain, they vacated their intestines over it. It's amazing
- 16:28to me, and the con has always been apparent to
- 16:43me ever since I met Chris Horner, the author of
- 16:45Red Hot Lies, Power Crab, Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming,
- 16:49and more importantly, not just to listen to Chris, who
- 16:53was a lawyer in the room with Enron when California
- 16:57and ge came in and said, hey, what if we
- 17:00ten we have power shortages and that the only way
- 17:04to deal with them is to sell wind turbines and
- 17:07solar panels to everybody.
- 17:10Speaker 24: And if they don't buy them, they might not have
- 17:12electricity when it's one hundred and ten degrees in the
- 17:15Mahafi Desert where we're shutting down Giant, one of the
- 17:20most massive solar facilities are What is California?
- 17:24Speaker 2: What is Gavin Newsom going to do? Asking you there
- 17:28at KMET, what is Gavin Newsom going to do with
- 17:33all those solar panels? Because one of the things we
- 17:37like to bring up is that California, for all of
- 17:40their addiction to solar power, also classifies the spent solar
- 17:45panels as hazardous waste. Seems to me to be an
- 17:52important thing to discuss since we're talking about being clean, right,
- 17:58this is clean energy. We haven't even brought up where
- 18:04all the power cells for all your electric vehicles are
- 18:08going to be buried. I think it was Andy Biggs
- 18:13middle of last year said that we would need a
- 18:16Yucca Mountain sized installation just for these automobile batteries currently
- 18:23on the road and the solar panels that are currently
- 18:26in use. Never mind if we go more. But I
- 18:31brought this up to some people when I first saw
- 18:33the story yesterday about the Mojave desert solar installation. Going
- 18:38to put, I said, then why are we going forward
- 18:42with this wind turbine project in the Atlantic Ocean. You
- 18:50know what their answer was, because the law says we
- 18:53have to. Oh oh oh, oh Cutner, mister cutter, I
- 19:05know people who can change that law. And I love
- 19:10these folks who are such junkies to Well, the law
- 19:14says we have to spend all of your tax dollars
- 19:17plus your higher energy rates to build these solar facilities
- 19:20or these wind turbine facilities, because we wrote a law
- 19:26three years ago that says we have to do it. Yeah.
- 19:30These are the same people who want the district attorneys
- 19:33and the commonwealth's attorneys in their home counties to disregard Oh,
- 19:37I don't know, crimes like theft and burglary and assault
- 19:44unless you say something mean to somebody like climate change
- 19:48is a con.
- 19:50Speaker 24: He committed violence against me because I disagree.
- 19:54Speaker 8: I don't think it's a con.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's a con, but it's not a
- 19:57con on me, so it's a con.
- 20:00Speaker 8: Non.
- 20:00Speaker 2: People I don't like. These are all the people who
- 20:04watch White Collar and go, yeah, you con. The guys
- 20:10I don't like so you see one of the problems
- 20:18I have with these legislations. Oh, Joe, wow, Yeah, it's
- 20:22just a it's a law, it's fans of all, it's aspirational.
- 20:26Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't have to worry about it, Joe m.
- 20:30Speaker 7: A.
- 20:31Speaker 2: And then three years later when you say, hey, before
- 20:34we start spending trillions of dollars, I'm building these damn things.
- 20:38Let's look out to the Mohave Desert and see what
- 20:40happened there. Two point two billion dollars on the How
- 20:49is it pronounced? I'm pretty sure I'm mispronouncing the name
- 20:54of the Vanpa solar power facility. Two point two billion dollars,
- 21:01three thousand, four hundred and seventy one acres that could
- 21:04have had affordable housing on it, four hundred and fifty
- 21:09nine foot tall power towers, one hundred and seventy three
- 21:18thousand heliostat mirrors. What happens with all the solar panels?
- 21:26Where do they go? All the rare earth minerals that
- 21:30will poison the soil longer than you can say crete,
- 21:36faster than you can say crete. This is why you
- 21:43don't just do things. To do things because they make
- 21:46you feel. You do things that make sense, and when
- 21:52things don't make sense, you don't spend trillions of dollars
- 21:55because you think you're just going to get more trillions
- 21:58of dollars later.

- 28:15Joe Thomas.
- 28:16Speaker 2: It is time for our sports stricter Mac McDonald to
- 28:20tune in drop out. Spent such a busy time in
- 28:24the baseball home run Derbies that I think even mac
- 28:27McDonald was credited with hitting two home runs yesterday. You
- 28:31know a man who once saw the headline McDonald blasted
- 28:35Friday and wrote a nasty letter to the editor saying, no,
- 28:38I wasn't Good morning Mac. How you doing, Buddy?
- 28:41Speaker 8: Good morning jud Joe.
- 28:42Speaker 21: The forty fifth Ryder Cup is underway. The home country
- 28:46has won eight of the last nine. First hole, Bryson Deshambo.
- 28:51They're playing Foursome's. It's alternate shot, okay. De Shambo hit
- 28:54his first drive three sixty over trees and almost drove
- 28:58the green. It gave just the Thomas a chip which
- 29:02he blew. But then Deshambo makes the putt. So they're
- 29:05one up, and now as I sit and watch real
- 29:07quick to go two up justin Thomas Birdie putt missed it. Okay,
- 29:12So anyway, they're one up, going to three, and it
- 29:15looks like also in the second match with Scheffler playing,
- 29:19and that's anyway. We'll have a recap for you in
- 29:22about twenty five minutes and you know, gets you up
- 29:24to date on what's happening at beth Page. It is crazy.
- 29:27I can tell you that the Americans chose fors them.
- 29:30This is a Keith and Bradley thing. He chose Forsom's
- 29:33the alternate shot to start, despite dropping last time in
- 29:37Rome a four nothing deficit in the format. As a
- 29:39matter of fact, there were so many mistakes that Zach
- 29:42Johnson captained that team. There were so many mistakes that
- 29:45they made in Rome. But anyway, John Rahm and Tyroll
- 29:50Hatton went two and one. Forsom's in Rome and they're
- 29:52playing against Justin Thomas and Bryson Dshambo, which can be
- 29:55a lot of fun, but a lot of talk of
- 29:56course about Bryson d Shambo and the Rory rivalry and
- 30:01if it happens. But Bryson is in his element. He
- 30:04loves the fans, He has signed a lot of autographs.
- 30:07He just loves this atmosphere.
- 30:09Speaker 27: New York fans are incredible. Having Keegan be from around here,
- 30:12Saint John's and what he's done to fire up the state,
- 30:16city and our team ultimately is inspiring for us. I
- 30:21couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to hopefully get
- 30:24them riled up and you know, excited for what's to come.
- 30:27Speaker 21: And I told you the first of the week about
- 30:29the little the barbs going on between Rory and Bryson DeChambeau.
- 30:34It had to do with, you know, they played in
- 30:36the Masters the final pairing, and the Masters didn't talk
- 30:40the whole time.
- 30:41Speaker 8: Bryson said something about, you know, hey, I think there's
- 30:44a rivalry here. He says rivalries are good for golf.
- 30:47And then Rory comes back and says you know what
- 30:49he goes.
- 30:49Speaker 21: Bryson just won social media attention and that's why he
- 30:52mentions other people, and that started the whole thing. So
- 30:55now the rivalry Bryson is secretly hoping he gets a
- 30:59chance where to play against McElroy.
- 31:01Speaker 27: Rivalries are good for the game of golf, and albeit
- 31:04I have the ultimate respect for Rory as a player,
- 31:07it's going to be fun to go up against him
- 31:09this week, you know, whether it's against him directly or
- 31:12through other players, I think it's going to be a
- 31:16fun challenge this week.
- 31:17Speaker 8: All right.
- 31:18Speaker 21: So then as you get ready for uh the you know,
- 31:22the day Roy McElroy of course had some time to
- 31:25say a couple of things and look the v I
- 31:28just want points for my team.
- 31:31Speaker 6: All I want to do is go and try and
- 31:32put blue points on the board. I don't care who
- 31:34it's against. If I come up against Bryson at some point,
- 31:38that's that's great. I think that's wonderful for the championship
- 31:42and wonderful for us as well in some ways. But
- 31:45I just want to go out there and put blue
- 31:47points on the board and do what I can for
- 31:49the European team.
- 31:50Speaker 21: Way right there, you go anyway, it's underway and the
- 31:52fans are just I mean, I just you know, bananas.
- 31:55Speaker 8: And right it's seven o'clock.
- 31:57Speaker 21: USA Network was supposed to start their coverage and I
- 32:00think their service crashed.
- 32:02Speaker 8: So I hope that's not a sign of hey, I
- 32:03know how they feel.
- 32:04Speaker 21: It was because my at least at YouTube TV, my
- 32:09my USA channel just went black, just went dark, and
- 32:12they were supposed to have.
- 32:13Speaker 8: The they were supposed to have the first.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Round called it hold it? Did they mention Ivermectin because
- 32:18that happened to me on YouTube once and they're saying, hey,
- 32:21I feel them. That happened to me yesterday morning. Our
- 32:24network went down at four fifty nine, right Eastern time,
- 32:27right before we were supposed to hit the air, and
- 32:30it was an hour of like scramble and bamble for
- 32:33it there. But yeah, it's it's fun. And you know,
- 32:37any any group of New Yorkers that are up at
- 32:39seven Eastern time are going to be interesting. It's going
- 32:43to be an interesting crowd at Bethpage Black.
- 32:45Speaker 8: Yeah. They had to be.
- 32:46Speaker 21: They had to be at the game by five, just
- 32:48you know, they had to be. And uh and I
- 32:51got to tell you we spoke. We did a seminary
- 32:53yesterday for our school. We had about thirty five kids
- 32:57in a classroom doing a doing the seminar on dynasties
- 33:01and what defines a dynasty and how do you break
- 33:04down a dynasty? And you know, I put together this
- 33:06whole keynote presentation, uh, this whole PowerPoint. But before we started,
- 33:10I said, okay, I want to I want to show
- 33:13of hands, how many people know what sporting event starts tomorrow?
- 33:17We didn't say to you, off it starts tomorrow. There
- 33:20were only three kids that knew that the Ryder Cup.
- 33:22Three out of about thirty five.
- 33:23Speaker 8: That knew that. The writer in a sports casting teaches
- 33:27with me. We looked at each other, went.
- 33:31Speaker 2: But if you walked into James Madison University or or
- 33:36you know, or Oregon State and said that, but this
- 33:40is a sportscaster university, a sportscasting.
- 33:43Speaker 21: Class, a sports casting curriculum, and uh, but they can
- 33:48tell me how many you know?
- 33:48Speaker 8: They can tell me John Cena's record, you know, in
- 33:51a heartbeat. So that's the you know kind of you got.
- 33:54Speaker 2: You gotta shake your money maker everything.
- 33:56Speaker 21: And also the latest Fortnight that's been released or whatever
- 33:59they know the latest war. But with all that, hey,
- 34:03real quick before we go. One of the great stories
- 34:05that emerged today too. You know cow Rawley hit that
- 34:09sixtieth home running at fifty nine and sixty before.
- 34:12Speaker 8: Peattle the Seattle fan. You remember what happened with the
- 34:16Phillies game.
- 34:17Speaker 26: And the.
- 34:19Speaker 8: Karen who went took the ball from the young boy.
- 34:22Speaker 2: I disagree with a lot of people, and I never
- 34:24made a big deal out of it. But the dude
- 34:26ran over to where she was sitting, grabbed the ball
- 34:30and ran away to his kid. And she came over
- 34:32and said, hey, I was just sitting there and the
- 34:34ball right to me, and you came over and.
- 34:36Speaker 8: Grabbed There was a lot of confidence.
- 34:38Speaker 21: Okay, so I kind of take her side, Big Gilbet Well,
- 34:40all right, this Seattle fan catches number sixty for cow Rawley,
- 34:45and the headline was, Seattle fan does something magical with
- 34:50the caw Rally ball. And I'm thinking, okay, they're going
- 34:51to tell me that he caught it. He went did
- 34:53the dugout thing like Mike Trout's four hundredth and that
- 34:56it was going to be, you know, the same kind
- 34:58of scenario.
- 35:00Speaker 8: So fast as lead Corso would.
- 35:01Speaker 21: Say, because the guy took the ball and the security
- 35:06gets to him right away, so he doesn't get the
- 35:08tar beat out of him somebody trying to steal the ball.
- 35:11Speaker 8: Security gets to him and he does give the ball
- 35:13to his kid and they walked out.
- 35:16Speaker 21: So for right now, the family owns the sixtieth home
- 35:20run ball from cal Rally, which is a record setting.
- 35:23You know, nice, get security to take you to the dugout,
- 35:27give the ball to the player.
- 35:28Speaker 8: It means you know, I mean, come on, but you know,
- 35:31it could be dollar I could pay with the kids
- 35:33college education.
- 35:34Speaker 21: I don't know what I would do in that instance,
- 35:36but I think I think I would give it back
- 35:39to the player. To me, I think it means more
- 35:41to the player than it does the family.
- 35:43Speaker 8: But then again, I haven't been put in that situation.
- 35:45Speaker 2: So at least, get you some Starbucks. I'd like to think, you.
- 35:48Speaker 8: Know, yeah, Starbucks for life or something like that.
- 35:53Speaker 21: Sure that's a you know, twelve dollar a twelve dollars
- 35:57cup of black coffee with a little cream.
- 35:58Speaker 8: I mean that makes.
- 36:00Speaker 2: Actually be able to get free windows upgrades, you know,
- 36:03or something you know.
- 36:04Speaker 21: Well, anyway, so tonight, yeah, tonight's gonna be great. Really
- 36:08looking forward to Virginia and Florida State tonight. Uh, some
- 36:11people are actually picking uh Virginia taking the points. The
- 36:15points have dropped to six and a half. It was
- 36:17seven and a half. Now Florida State's only a six
- 36:19and a half point favorite. I don't know what that means,
- 36:21but I think uh and and and Coach Elliott was praying,
- 36:27praying for a you know, a full raucous stadium, hoping
- 36:31that that you know, that that happens. But anyway, the
- 36:33renewal of the rival in the thirtieth anniversary in the
- 36:36ninety five game, which Joe and I talked about yesterday.
- 36:38But wow, what a uh what a great weekend the
- 36:41way it the way it kicks off. And by the way,
- 36:43getting back to the Brder Cup, the weather's good, blue
- 36:46sky at Bethpage Black and Farmingdale. So I was watching
- 36:50the radar last night and just watching. But the rain
- 36:52got out of there, and uh, it got out of
- 36:54there faster than they thought. But this this crowd, I
- 36:57can't tell you how many people are there, Joe, it's got.
- 36:59Speaker 2: To be man oh man, Man's remember the old days.
- 37:03Speaker 8: Here we go.
- 37:03Speaker 2: You know, hey, you kids get off my lawn. Remember
- 37:06when you used to have to just like stand around
- 37:08in the grass. Now they build grand stands along these
- 37:11And when you design a golf course, you're designing it
- 37:14with the idea of putting grand stands along the fairways
- 37:17and whatnot, which kind of looks cool. But I just
- 37:21remember the old days where you were limited to how
- 37:23many people could actually stand around the green.
- 37:26Speaker 8: Well, you know you'll get a chance this weekend.
- 37:28Speaker 21: You'll see it. It's going to be crazy, but you know,
- 37:32the Americans have got to win. They've got to show
- 37:34something in this first four sums. It really sets the
- 37:36tone for the weekend. If they get shut out again,

- 44:33Speaker 2: Shut Up, shut Up, Oh, Shutdown Mania and Washington gripped
- 44:42by it and one of my favorite stories I really
- 44:44haven't spent a lot of time with. I was saving it,
- 44:47uh for Bob in Farmville when he called in, of course,
- 44:50former chair of the House Freedom Caucus now host of
- 44:54the Good for America. And am I saying it right? Bob?
- 44:58Is it like good for America? Or it like your
- 45:00mother was going good for you? Good for America? I'm
- 45:04not sure how I get that much from mom. Good
- 45:07for you for America? All right, maybe that was just
- 45:10me a host of the Good for America podcast, Bob Good,
- 45:14Bob Good shut down Mania. How many of those were
- 45:17you privy to in your time in Congress? Shut down
- 45:21your tens?
- 45:23Speaker 7: Well, we had the thread of it, both of my terms.
- 45:27Of course, different dynamic with body control in the White House.
- 45:31But the difference, Joe, is that Democrats, of course are
- 45:35addicted to government, addicted to politics, addicted to spending. And
- 45:41you know, I call their bluff shut it down, Let
- 45:45it shut down, don't do. Let the Democrats for shiit
- 45:49the Republicans the more spending in order to try to
- 45:51keep the government open. It is a great opportunity for
- 45:55Russ vote my friend who's the director of OMB, the
- 45:57Busch Director, for the president to cut spending and to
- 46:01reduce the federal workforce taking advantage of the shutdown. Presidents
- 46:06control the shutdown, They control the circumstances and the shutdown.
- 46:10They control who are the essential or non essential workers.
- 46:15So you know, let them let Chuck Schumer shut it
- 46:18down if he wants to. Republicans can take advantage of
- 46:20it to advance the president's agenda and their agenda. If
- 46:23they say say they want to cut spending and reduce government,
- 46:25this is great, I'm going to do it.
- 46:26Speaker 2: Well, what do you think of the tactic? And I
- 46:29was pretty sure the timing of this was intentional, with
- 46:33Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer scheduled to be part of
- 46:36a lineup that included Turkish dictator I mean President rajap Ertigan.
- 46:43That you know, boy, what a prickly bunch in the
- 46:46Oval office there. Who would who would you want to
- 46:48sit down for tea with Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries or
- 46:51raj Erdigan. But they were scheduled to come in and
- 46:56talk about a clean cr with the President. Chuck Schumer
- 47:00even said so on Sunday when he wasn't at the
- 47:02Charlie Kirk Memorial too, that they were he would be
- 47:07welcomed to the idea of a clean CRN. But right
- 47:10before that RUSS vote announces that there will be mass firings,
- 47:15not layoffs, but firings of federal workforce if there's a
- 47:19partial government shutdown. I love that tactic, do you I do.
- 47:24Speaker 7: I think he's doing right by the American people to say, okay,
- 47:28we will use this as an opportunity to reduce the
- 47:31federal workforce, eighty percent of which have been working working
- 47:35remotely from home during the past four years anyway, most
- 47:40of whom aren't declared essential during a government shutdown. Why
- 47:43would we give them essentially a paid a vacation, go
- 47:46back and pay them back pay. They ought to announce
- 47:49they're not going to pay federal workers during the shutdown.
- 47:52Accept except the Republicans could pass bills in the House,
- 47:56in the Senate and say, hey, we're going to pay
- 47:59the required workers the military, those related to national security,
- 48:04law enforcement, public safety, air traffic control, and so forth.
- 48:08Will pass a bill to pay them, and then let
- 48:11Democrats decide if they want to vote for that or not,
- 48:14but to let them know, hey, if you don't pay them,
- 48:17then they're not going to get backpack. They're going to
- 48:19be forced to work without pay because Democrats wouldn't vote
- 48:21for it. But let the rest of the federal workforce
- 48:23not be paid while they are using this as an opportunity,
- 48:26as you noted, to reduce government into cut spending, which
- 48:30we need to do. And by what you said, clean CR,
- 48:32this is a Democrat cr and that's the sad part
- 48:35of it. The Republicans again are failing us on the
- 48:37fiscal issues. Let's have I hope they'll get a win here.
- 48:39We think we've just been talking about. But the CR
- 48:41is a continuation of the CR last December, which was
- 48:44a Democrat CR, which was a continuation of the previous
- 48:47year CR, which Democrats are Democrats spending levels Democrat policies.
- 48:51So it's the Republicans passed quote at clean CR, keeping
- 48:54those in place. Democrats want instead to rescind some of
- 48:58the cuts in the big bill, and they want to
- 49:01extend the Obamacare subsidies that are except to expire this year,
- 49:05so they want to spend trillions of dollars. They don't
- 49:07want to clean the online well.
- 49:09Speaker 2: And that's the problem with this. I remember one of
- 49:11your predecessors, Robert Hurt, told me before after he had
- 49:16left Congress and he was now taking on a dean's
- 49:19position at Liberty University. He said, you know, one of
- 49:22the problems is there's no give and take. It's just take.
- 49:27You know, I'll get what I want, you get what
- 49:28you want, and then the negotiation comes down to who
- 49:32pays the most for it to fund all this craziness
- 49:36and I don't know where it ends, Bob, excepting crisis
- 49:41and physical collapse.
- 49:43Speaker 7: I agree with the give and take, but I would
- 49:45characterize it differently. The American people are giving, the government
- 49:48is taking on both sides of the aisle. The Republicans
- 49:51failed us in a lack of willingness to cut spending
- 49:54in the Big Bill. Republicans have failed us with it
- 49:57passing a cr that keeps again the Democrats spending life
- 50:00and policies and places that are bankrupt in the country.
- 50:02We got an affordability crisis because of Republicans and Democrats
- 50:06over the where they've exploded the debt from a trillion
- 50:08dollars when Ronald Reagan became president, who now coming up
- 50:11to thirty eight trillion. It would be forty trillion terms
- 50:14next year. So the people are giving, the governments taking
- 50:16on both sides of the aisles. Republicans talk about it,
- 50:19feel bad about it. Democrats want to spend more, admit
- 50:22they want to spend more, but both are guilty.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Well, talk about this. One premise that was brought to
- 50:27me is that you know, these spendings that President Trump
- 50:30is fine with are designed to get the American economy
- 50:35moving again. Growth, growth helps to the mid term and
- 50:39then you'll start to see fiscal responsibility. They're a awful
- 50:43lot of your brethren and sister and from the Freedom
- 50:45concuss that look like either they're just stepping out of Congress,
- 50:48have taken administration positions, or are just aren't running again.
- 50:54Do you have faith that you know once the midterms
- 50:56have been won and Republicans keep the majority, then they'll
- 51:00start talking about fiscal responsibility.
- 51:02Speaker 7: I think conservatives in the House have damaged their brand,
- 51:06have hurt themselves with going along with the continued spending
- 51:10and failing to fight for spending cuts. Absolutely, and some
- 51:14of the best ones are the ones, as you said,
- 51:16who are running for statewide office, and so that's put
- 51:18them in a difficult political position. That is the problem
- 51:21in Washington. People do what's in their best political interests.
- 51:24I would agree with part of what you said. I
- 51:26think President Trump is trying to implement pro growth policies,
- 51:31you know, fair trade, less regulation, lower taxes, the energy
- 51:38rejuvenation there and those will help the economy grow. But
- 51:41the debt is too big, the interest on the debt
- 51:44is too big, the interest rates are crushing the country.
- 51:48Inflation is crushing the country still because even if you
- 51:51slow inflation, which I think will happen, it's still layered
- 51:54on top of the inflations. Are there's not going to
- 51:56have deflation, and so I don't think we can grow
- 51:59our way out of it. I think you've got to
- 52:01cut the spending. Even the tariffs, I hope they will help.
- 52:03The tariffs are ultimately an impact, and they could end
- 52:06up reducing our exports obviously as other coops maybe choose
- 52:12not to buy our stuff. So jury's out on that.
- 52:14I hope that it works. I'm trying to get the
- 52:15President of Bene.
- 52:16Speaker 2: Of doubt on that.
- 52:16Speaker 7: I do think Congress should be acting on the tariffs
- 52:18not present, because they are taxed and the founders intended
- 52:21that to be the responsiblit of Congress, who would be
- 52:23more accountable to the people for the taxes that they placed.
