  Speaker 1: All right, now back to the show. The government has
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: now been shut down for thirty one days, and President
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Trump is telling Senate Republicans to use the nuclear option
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: before SNAP benefits expired tomorrow.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: This has more airports are experiencing major delays caused by
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: staffing issues ahead of the holiday travel season.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Doug Lazader joins US Life from Washington with the latest.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Doug, Good morning everyone. President Trump says enough
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: is enough. It is time to nuke the filibuster and
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: reopen the government. Here's what he posted last night on
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: truth Social It's now time for Republicans to play their
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Trump card and go for what is called the nuclear option.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Get rid of the filibuster and get rid of it now.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: That would allow Senate Republicans to reopen the government on
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: their own, even though Senate leaders generally don't like the
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: idea of ending the filibuster, but pressure is mounting. Troops
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: are getting paid today after the Pentagon shifted some funds around,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: but federal SNAP benefits run out this weekend, and we're
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: already seeing major flight disruptions in places like Orlando and
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: in Washington.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Look, it could be a disaster. It really could be,
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: because at that point, you're talking about people have missed
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: three paychecks, they've missed four paychecks. On what happens when
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: pilots start not showing up for work because they're so
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: focused on paying the bills, they can't fly the plane safely.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: That's going to lead to massive delays. We want people
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: to be able to get home for Thanksgiving.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: And Delta Airlines joining the calls for Congress to pass
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: the Republican bills, saying Delta Airlines implores Congress to immediately
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government so
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: that our air traffic controllers TSA ANDCBP officers charged with
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the safety and efficiency of our national airspace can collect
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the paychecks they deserve.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: They're going to have to go take a second job,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: and you're going to have mass issues throughout the airspace.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: People will not be able to go from one place
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: to the other because of the government shutdown, and I
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: hope Democrats don't take it to that point.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: A new Washington Post ABC News poll shows more Americans
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: blame Republicans for the shutdown, but some here on Capitol
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Hill think Democrats are about to cave even even as
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: they push for expanded Obamacare subsidies. And we'll see. Here
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: we are on day thirty one of this shutdown. The
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: record is thirty five days, so this one could become
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: the longest on record next week.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Brian, Wow, it's getting so close to Thanksgiving two. Thanks
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: so much, Doug. Hey, let's go over just even this
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: past week what's taking place, and this is why tempers
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: are flaring. The Senate rejected the House built for the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: thirteenth time, and we only had I think three Democrats
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: without Rampaul by a Republican vote for it. So you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: need five more to get to sixty in order to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: get the government queued up again. So on Wednesday, the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Congressional Budget Office reported that this is costing us overall
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: between seven to seven and fourteen billion dollars. That's what
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the presidency is when he gets back, and that's why
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he is so upset today. He's trying to rebuild the economy,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: put it on jet fuel. And now this happens on Thursday,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the remainder of the federal agencies will miss their first paycheck.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I talked to a group of PEP people the other
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: day who work as staffers in Washington. They say it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: tough every month just to pay for your rent. Can
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you imagine you have no money to pay for anything?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Even a promisory note doesn't really isn't really effective. It's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: affecting real people. You talk about the military, they stop
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: getting paid, But the president has found a donor for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: one week and other ways to pay them this week.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So for now the military is getting paid on Saturday.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: This is really going to hurt in various states, especially
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: some states have about seven percent of people on SNAP programs,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that aid program for food and basic staples. You have
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: now SNAP payments not being issued. The WHIP program will
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: run out of funding this week, and open enrollments for
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: ACA begins, and people are looking at it and saying, well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the Biden subsidies are gone, the pandemic is finished. The
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: big beautiful bill is queuing in, queuing up. So this
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is your chant. These are your new bills for the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: upcoming year. Didn't the Democrats say the whole reason for
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: their walkout was because of the Obamacare set well, people
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: were already seeing it. But I think the big picture, guys,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is the reason why those prices are going up, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: premiums are going up, is not because of anything. The
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Republicans did. It's because Obamacare is not working. The subsidies
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic put a band aid on a problem
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that is now para for everyone to see. I'm not
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: sure that people are getting that message though.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham said that he thinks Democrats will cave next week.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: But Hakeem Jeffrey says, you're delusional. We're not. Or he
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: didn't say that specifically to Lindsay, but they were asking
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: him when we all fold, and he said he said
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that the Republicans are delusional for thinking that Democrats will fold.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: They call it a dirty deal, Coldstone liars. President Trump
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: says this is all about the legendary Trump derangement syndrome.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: They just hate him, so they don't want to give
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: him more.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Well, they're trying to hurt him in the process as well.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: But they're hurting the country right now. And when you
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: talk to people we all know, federal workers that we
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: know and care about, it's tough for them already. Some
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of them live in paycheck to paycheck. Do you really
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: want some one that's an air traffic controller to have
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a second job when they need the focus to navigate
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the airwaves. I just don't think it's smart at all.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I do disagree with the president. I think it's a
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: bad idea to eliminate the filibuster. But I understand that's frustration.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: It looks like they're not willing to compromise or have
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: some type of debate or anything like that. They just
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: want to hurt him the process.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But I think that what he's saying is, hey, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: did it for judges, but you kept the filibuster for legislation.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Why don't we just do it for shutdowns? And that's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: where I think that Mitch mcconnald's not going to go
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: along with that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: We know that for sure.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Traditional Republicans don't. And also, I mean they want hard
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to stop President Biden from blowing up the filibuster. We
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: would have had two more states, we would have had
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a pack Supreme Court and Joe Manchin and Senator Cinema
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: save the day. So I understand the frustration, but I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: don't think that's necessarily a good move. I just think this,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: how about this, how about you get in writing the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: O ANDB director will not blow up any of the programs.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Number one, how about you get in writing for the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: next four weeks they will examine premiums and subsidies for
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Obamacare to see if they can fix it, because nobody
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: wants to see families and I think seventy percent of
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: from paycheck to paycheck suddenly realize I don't have enough
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in my account. So that's something the President has always
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: had a heart for it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: But they've already Aisley tried to do individual bills. Let's
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: just fund the military and get them their pay for
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the federal workers, let's just fund the snap let's do
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: these individual things. And they're voting against that as well.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: So it's like, I don't know what type of compromise
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: they're able to reach. If you can't even vote on
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: the basic essentials.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Well, we won't have an answer until next week for sure,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: because they're not in session today. They're home and they
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: won't be back until Monday.
