Speaker 1 (00:01):
So Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome is really
sticking it to the government employees that decided, now, screw it,
we'll just let America be unsafe from the skies. I'm
not going to work, even though they knew when the
government reopened they were gonna get back pay. There's a
lot of people in the government decided, I'm gonna go
on vacation, I'm not gonna show up for work, even
though they knew they were gonna get back pay. So
(00:23):
they decided at the White House they were going to
reward good behavior by handing out And this is, by
the way, amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I love when people win when they do the right thing.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Because people that showed up during the shutdown did not
know this was going to happen, right, It wasn't even
a rumor.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It wasn't talked about, it wasn't discussed.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They are now gonna they now have I should say,
past Tense handed out ten thousand dollars bonus checks to
TSA agents for exemplary service during the shutdown. Now look again,
every TSA agent knew they were going to get the
back pay. Now some of them were like, I'm going
to do uber lyft, and I understand that if you've
(01:02):
got no savings and you've got to go do something else,
I'm fine with that. But I do love the fact
that there were people that showed up, took their job
seriously and wanted to make sure that Americans could still
travel like they took pride in their country. And that's
exactly why the Home in Security Secretary Christy Nome handed
out these ten thousand dollars bonus checks to agents who
(01:23):
were there and working without pay during the government shutdown.
Now there are liberals now that are actually angry over this,
and they're mad.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I want you to hear.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Christinome in her own words as she spoke to reporters
in front of her at a press conference at Houston's
George Bush International Airport and turned to present about a
dozen of the TSA agents with their ten thousand dollars
bonus checks. This is like again, rewarding good behavior a
boss move as a taxpayer.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I love this because.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I fly a lot of you did, and we should
reward good workers and we shouldn't reward workers that just
don't show up when things get tough. And by the way,
I hate to be honest like to say it this way,
but like this is just reality. If you're a government worker,
you know at some point you're not going to get
paid to during a government shut down. They they happen
(02:20):
too often now to for anyone to think that like
this isn't gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And when you get hired, you should know this.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So there is a little bit of like preparedness that
should be involved here, not like, oh my gosh, I'm shocked,
I'm going to miss a paycheck. Like you're a government employee,
you know the government gets shut down a lot. You
know that Democrats are holding you hostage. You know this
is going to be a deal, and then to still
show up, God bless you.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Take a listen, Christy Nome in her own words.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So today, though we have many other TSA officers here
that I'm going to be handing bonus checks to, every
single one of these individuals served with exemplary service, which
means they were an example of not only taking seriously
the security concerns and measures that TSA has to every
(03:08):
single day in the Department of Homeland Security, but also
they went above and beyond. They helped individuals, They served
extra shifts, They helped with transportation of people getting back
and forth to work, other challenges that families may have.
They were all examples of what we need and we
will be continuing to not only recognize employees across the country,
(03:31):
but we will be looking at every single TSA official
that helped serve during this government shutdown and do what
we can to recognize that and help them financially with
a bonus check to get them and their family back
on their feet. So with that, Rico, I want to
present to you a check and say thank you from
the American people. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Ashley, thank you, yes, And is.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Leo here all right?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I'm also incredibly great for everyone in this community, this airport,
the private companies that stepped up and helped support these
families during the government shutdown when their paycheck stopped. And
I just can't say enough about the partnerships that we've
been able to build in light of this tragic situation.
When the Democrats shut down the government, that we still
(04:18):
saw the best of America. We saw people come together
and support each other, take care of each other, and
go above and beyond to make sure that the mission
of the Department of Homeland Security was fulfilled that it
was to keep the American people safe with honor and
with integrity, and that we can continue to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
One of the things that came out of this that was,
by the way, one of the lies is the left
started rumor that only the people that were with Christino
were going to get these checks and that they were
just doing this as a photo op.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Guess what, that's also a lie.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
The envelopes containing their ten thousand dollars bonus checks are
going too many more. The Truman Manifestration has said they
will be going to quote several thousand other agents who
received high performance marks from their supervisors. The press conference
being held has that record breaking forty three day government
shutdown ended, marking the beginning of TSA agents and other
(05:13):
government employees being paid again and again.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They got back pay.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Now, why all this happened is because of President Donald Trump.
He's the one that came out and recommended not like
a two thousand dollars bonus or a three thousand or
five thousand. No, he said, uh huh, I want a
ten thousand dollars bonus. Freyer traffic controllers who worked during
the shutdown as well, when asked by Fox NEWSS of
our ingram about where the money would come from, Trump's answered,
(05:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'll get it from someplace.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Which also tells you just how bloated our federal government
is and why DOGE and other groups are doing everything
they can to start protecting your tax dollars. Even more, quote,
I always get the money from someplace, regardless, it doesn't matter.
I do a lot of bonuses for people because it's
really something that is like the American way, and you
think about it, the president said. Now, the checks given
(06:03):
to TSA agents on Thursday were from carryover funds from
the fiscal year twenty twenty five. An internal memo from
the Department of Homeland Security obtained by MSNBC stated, so,
now we have a president that's saying, you're a great American.
You work hard, you show up, you're a team player.
Guess what we're going to reward you if you didn't
(06:24):
get great remarks from your supervisor because you're one of
those that called in sick or just decided I'm going
to take a free paycheck backdated because everyone got paid
even if they didn't show up for work, Well, good
for you. You got paid, right, you got paid now. Also,
one of the things that's interesting about this is that
(06:46):
Democrats are now talking about another issue, and that is
shutting the government down again. I want to just make
sure you understand how close we are to that happening again.
In fact, Democrats Representative Bell said this on TV. I
voted against reopening the government because snap recipients were happy
(07:08):
with me doing so to make a point still holding
Americans hostage. It is insane listen to this Democrat on
CNN saying I didn't want the government to open.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Democrats actually aren't happy about how the shutdown ended, especially
House Democrats. You have someone like a congresswoman at Casio
Cortez who thinks that they gained nothing from the deal.
She's used words like cowardice, and now you have to
figure out what to do after the Senate folded. I
just want to play for you what she said.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
You have the refusal and the outright cruelty among House
Republicans and the White House who went to court to
try to sue for their ability to deny people's access
to food. This is the reality that we're in right now,
and we need to act like it, and we cannot
enable this kind of cruelty with our cowardice?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Were the Senate Democrats who voted to end this shutdown cowards?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
You know, I'm not going to get into the name calling.
Let's talk about policy and what matters to the American people.
I'm not happy with this, with this resolution, I voted no,
matter of fact. I voted hell no to be perfectly
if they had that option. And when we were.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Voting, I know, but six and fifty thousand Missourians were
losing stat benefits. Would they be happy that you were
sticking it out to make a point?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Absolutely, And that's why I voted no. And now two
hundred and sixty thousand Missourians could lose their healthcare or
see their healthcare called skyrocket. But I'll say this quickly though.
The issue, though, is that I'm not going to spend
my time focusing on eight individuals when we see a
Republicans who have the House, Senate and the Presidency cutting
(09:00):
head healthcare, cutting Medicaid, and I'm going to train my
sites on them who are responsible for the Republicans, who
are responsible for a Republican health care crisis.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I think that I'm looking at a Quinnipiac pole showing
that forty five percent of voters blame Republicans. But here's
the thing, thirty nine percent blame Democrats for the shutdown.
So are you missing how much the public is disappointed
with Democrats as well?
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Yes, I think that. I think folks are disappointed in
government period, full stop. I think that we, you know,
we need to do a better job. I ran because
of that, and so I've been here now in office
ten months and I'm seeing how DC works and I'm
seeing the dysfunction. And what I'm saying is we need
(09:46):
to clean up this corruption. We need to start working
for the American people, and we need to start putting
the interests of regular working class folks first. And we
haven't seen that. And it's time that we got to
that business. Augus.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So you hear this congressman here and he's like, all right,
So I just want to be clear, like I actually
wanted to hurt the American people more. I wanted to
keep the government shut down. And I was happy because
I need to make a point. These people are totally insane.
And by the way, if you're on food stamps in Missouri,
just know that Representative Wesley Bell wanted you to starve
(10:21):
your kids just a little bit longer to quote make
a point. Every so often, something happens that reminds us
just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to
take our rights for granted. We must draw a line
in the sand, and our friends at Patriot Mobile have
been doing just that for more than twelve years. The
(10:42):
truth is, there is only one provider that boldly stands
in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is worth
fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only
are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing the
competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the only
carriers offering premium access to all three major US networks,
(11:06):
giving you nationwide coverage and service that you can count
on day after day. They also offer unlimited data plans,
mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet back up, in so much more,
and switching has never been easier. You can activate in
minutes on your phone from your home or your office,
and you keep your same number. You've got now keep
(11:28):
your same phone or upgrade to a new one. And
this is where the magic happens. Every month, about five
percent of your bill is given back to conservative causes
at no extra cost to you that stand up for
our First and our Second Amendment rights, the rights of
unborn children, and are wounded warriors and those that have
fought for a country and wear a badge. So take
(11:50):
a stand today and make a difference with every call
you make. Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine
to seven to two Patriot. Use the promo code ferguson
for a free month of service as well. That's patriotmobile
dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot,
And make the switch and make a difference with every
(12:12):
call you make. There has been a lot of conversation
about the Epstein files. Many Democrats are now obsessed over
the Epstein files and trying to use anything where Donald
Trump's name was used to connect him to some sort
of horrific behavior without any evidence to back it up. Well,
(12:32):
while they're playing checkers, Donald Trump is now playing chess.
A pretty brilliant move by President Donald Trump. On Friday,
he has now directed the Justice Department to investigate the
disgrace late financier Jeffrey Epstein and his ties to several
high profile Democrats, as well as certain banks, the President,
(12:56):
writing this now that the Democrats are using the Epstein
involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their
disastrous government shutdown and all of their other failures. I
will be asking the Attorney General Pambondi and the Department
of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI,
(13:18):
to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton,
Larry Summers, Reied Hoffman, JP, Morgan Chase, and many other
people and institutions to determine what was going on with
them and him. Trump writing this on true Social this
(13:39):
is another Russia Russia, Russia scam, with all arrows pointing
to the Democrats. He added, records show that these men
and many others spent large portions of their life with
Epstein and on his island.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Stay tuned now.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
In an earlier post on Friday, Trump said that Epstein
was a demoic and therefore is the Democrats problem, not
the Republican's problem.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
He also accused the.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Democrats of doing everything in their withering power to push
the Epstein hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing more than
fifty thousand pages of documents, Trump said lawmakers should not
waste time looking into him and instead should focus on
the Democrats. He later named in the post, announcing the
pro Democrats, of course, are trying to use this to
(14:28):
hurt the president. What's interesting is, if you go back
and look at the history of this, Democrats never gave
a damn about the victims. In fact, it's the point
that I brought up on Fox News Channel to the
Democrat's face, saying, where were you, guys when you had
the power to do something about this. Take a listen
to what I had to say on Abby Phillips show
(14:49):
on CNN.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
You guys gave us.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Much thought and much obsession over this when Joe.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Biden was president. I wish you were asking for this
much transparency when.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It wasn't about to attacking the president of the United
States of America and I scored political points. I wish
you guys cared about the victims as much as you
care about trying to attack Donald Trump. When CNN's own
reporting says, and I quote the woman who is the
survivor literally accused Democrats, not Republicans, of hiding her name
(15:21):
because she had not alleged Trump, Well, you're talking about
anything wrong.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
You're talking about Virginia, correct, who we just talked about,
And my point is she died by it. Just to
be clear, she but.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That she accused Democrats when she was alive, her words,
of hiding her name because she had not alleged Trump
to have done anything wrong. That is how sick and
partisan this has become.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You guys didn't care about the victims. You didn't care
about anything else.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
And now you're saying, well, maybe Donald Trump knew of
a crime and maybe didn't report it.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That's just straight up slander and libel.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
You're telling I have to finish the crime.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
Turn that one thing up, because I think this is important.
I don't want this most information to be out there.
When Virginia Jeffrey said that Trump had not done anything wrong,
she was not accusing the Republicans accused Democrats of withholding
her name for that reason. She just separately said that
that she did not see Trump do anything untoward.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's that's that's the point.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And so I go back to what he made because.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
People to think that that it was that she's responding
to Democrats, which she was not.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
But go ahead, here's the thing. First of all, Joe
Biden was not on the plane. He was not there.
You go jump to another because I was not on
the plane, was not there. Everybody said, well, Joe Biden
didn't do whatever. The Democrats were never saying, don't release.
The Republicans now are saying don't release.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's not true. I said release, stay consistent.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Ironically, the reason this is such an issue now is
because Republicans campaigned on it and made it Agasa Franklin,
Shame on the Biden DOJ for not having been more proactive,
and thank you to the Republicans. The man is fear,
all the bloggers, fear the Republican right wing who spent
the campaign making this into a big issue.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And I'd say, now, as long as you protect the
victim's release. But what you notice Democrats, and that's why
I went back in history, they didn't care about this
at all. The only thing they want to do now
is hurt President Donald Trump. They want to do anything
they can to try to imply that he did something terrible,
that he did something that is like awful.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
He didn't do anything wrong. That is the biggest difference here.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And so now with the President saying okay, DOJ you
guys want to go there, you want to play this game, fine,
we will investigate you. Now let's go through the names
of people. You notice he said Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton
has never been investigated for going to Epstein Island, flying
on his plane, or any of the connections there, which,
(18:08):
by the way, also brings us to another story that
involves the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation, where money was flowing
in when Hillary Clinton was a Secretary of State and
running for president, is now the center of more attention. Now,
there's a part of this story that you may not
actually even know about, and that is the IRS actually
(18:29):
opened a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But guess what.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
In twenty nineteen, a Democrat was in charge of the
White House, the FBI, and all of law enforcement. So
what happened? The investigation was abruptly stopped. Here's more of
the background on that story.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
And a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty
nineteen but then suddenly stopped. That's according to new memo
detailing how agents suddenly cut off contact with whistleblowers after
months of cooperation. The National Newsdesk Jeff Harris joining us
the federal government as we know, has long been concerned
(19:13):
about the Clinton Foundation, but these memos they only add
to that worry. What are you learning tonight?
Speaker 11 (19:19):
So the memos detail how IRS agents abruptly cut off
contact with two whistleblowers, John moynihan and Larry Doyle. They
had been working with for several weeks now, several meetings
even taking place with them between January and April of
twenty nineteen, before then abruptly getting cut. Before losing contact, Moynihan,
(19:39):
a retired DEA financial crimes analyst, in Doyle, a corporate
tax compliance officer, had spent years researching the Clinton Foundation,
even testifying before Congress.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
The investigation clearly demonstrates that the Foundation was not a
charitable organization per se, but in point of fact, was
a closely held family partnership.
Speaker 11 (20:01):
Just The News, reviewing internal IRS emails and memos, which
show an IRS office in New Jersey, initially took serious
interest in the allegations, meeting with the two in late
twenty nineteen. One memo, reading in part quote, they found
numerous problems with the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Foundation
was operating as a foreign agent. But weeks later the
(20:21):
agent's reversed course, saying, quote, we can't talk about the CF.
Others looking into the foundation include author Peter Schweizer, who
spoke with the National News Desk Thursday morning about his
own investigation.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
The Nigeria Office had phone tapped interviews with Nigerian officials
saying that they had donated at the Clinton Foundation and
they were getting favors in.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Returns, but the Clinton Foundation has long denied any wrongdoing.
Hillary Clinton even pushing back when asked about possible pay
for play during her twenty sixteen presidential campaign.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
At the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent ninety percent of
all the money that is donated on behalf of programs
of people around the world and in our own country.
Speaker 11 (21:04):
Now, just the News reports both moynihan and Doyle are
currently pursuing two whistleblower cases involving the Clinton Foundation. One
is tentatively scheduled for trial beginning December.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
First, here's what's interesting about this background of it stopping
this investigation twenty nineteen. Now the Trump administration has reopened
it and making it clear they're going to look into
a why it was stopped and what crimes could have
been committed. Again, the IRS opened the criminal probe and
(21:35):
they were shut down by the Biden administration. This is
truly shocking. But now we're going to get some answers.
We're being told moving forward, I want to move to
another story that's really important and it deals with corruption.
It is a story that you've probably not heard a
single word about this why because it is to protect
(21:58):
the leader of the day Democratic Party. There is a
front runner for the man or woman who will be
the nominee for the Democratic Party for president, and right
now that is the California Governor Gavin Newsom. Well, there's
a story that if this was connected to someone like
Donald Trump, the world would be freaking out. The media
would be covering at twenty four to seven and they
(22:21):
would say, where there's smoke, there's fire. Well, let me
tell you the story of the former Gavin Newsom chief
of staff. Now the chief of staff in your administration.
There's literally no one hire that has more influence than
the chief of staff. The chief of staff has been
arrested in charge is part of a political corruption investigation.
(22:47):
California Governor knew Some's former chief of staff was arrested
in charge with having conspired to commit bank and wirefraud,
among other things, as part of a political corruption investigation.
In a press release from the United States Office of
the Eastern District of California, it was revealed that a
(23:07):
federal grand jury charged Dana Williamson, fifty three with conspiracy
to commit bank and wire fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud,
conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruct justice, subscribing
to false tax returns, and making false statements.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
This is a crucial step in an ongoing political corruption
investigation that began more than three years ago, is what
the US Attorney at grants in a statement. As it
always has the US Attorney's Office will continue to work
tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to protect the people
of California from political corruption. Now part of the press release,
(23:50):
the political consultant Dana Williamson, fifty three of Carmichael, California,
was charged by the federal grand jury with conspiracy to
commit bank and fraud, bank fraud, wire conspiracy to fraud
the United States and obstruct justice, and then subscribing to
his false tax returns making false statements. The twenty three
count indictment was unfiled following Williamson's arrest in the morning.
(24:15):
Court documents reportedly show that between February of twenty twenty
two and September of last year, twenty twenty four, the
chief of staff for the Governor Gavin Newsom, conspired with
others to divert approximately two hundred and twenty five thousand
(24:37):
in funds from a dormant political campaign to an associate
person use. According to the press release, Williamson and other
people also reportedly funneled the money through various business entities
and disguised it as a pay for what was in
reality a no show job. This again, according to the
(24:59):
press release, Williamson also allegedly conspired with a business associates
to create false backdated contracts after receiving a civil subpoena
in January of twenty twenty regarding paycheck protection program known
as PPP loans. This also coming from the press release,
(25:22):
and then the FBI said this quote, Today's charges are
the result of a three year, relentless investigative work in
partnership with IRS Criminal Investigation and the US Attorney's Office.
This coming from the FBI Sacramento Field Office. They said, quote,
the FBI will remain vigilant in its efforts to uncover fraud, corruption,
(25:46):
and ensuring our government systems are held to the highest standard.
In a statement to Fox News, a spokesman for the
California governor clarified that Williamson, who was Newsome's chief of
staff literally in un till late last year, was no
longer serving under newsomb administration. Miss Williamson no longer serves
(26:08):
in the administration, the spokesman told the outlet, While we
are still learning details about the allegations, the governor expects
all public servants to uphold the highest standard of integrity. Now,
this just goes back to corruption one oh one. We
see a lot of corruption the Democratic Party. This time
it's Gavin Newsom's longtime chief of staff. And notice how
(26:32):
if you're listening to this show right now, this is
probably the very first time that you've heard about this story.
If this was connected to any Republican governor, especially in
a swing state, the media would cover this twenty four
(26:52):
to seven, wall to wall. So why now be silent. Well,
they've got to protect Newsom. He's their guy. They understand
that he has the best chance of winning the nomination,
and so there's many around him that I'm sure are saying, hey,
we'll just look the other way. But this goes back
(27:12):
to the core of the Democratic Party. Right now, the
rules really never seem to apply to them. You can look,
for example, on college campuses at UC Berkeley and the
radicals that went after turning point conservative kids, all caught
on camera. You can move from there to what we're
witnessing all across the country and what we've seen with
(27:35):
anti semitism and Democrats taking over college campuses, with radical activists,
kids who are now turning into anarchists. And this really
all goes back to the issue of following the money,
whether it was Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and
you go on and on with Democrats who are now
(27:57):
going after college campuses and conservative organizations. What Democrats are
clearly trying to do right now is make you feel unsafe.
If you saw the videos coming out of UC Berkeley,
I can tell you if you were there as a conservative,
you would not have felt safe. And that's exactly what
democrats want by design. They want you to be quiet,
(28:21):
they want you to be silent. They don't want you
to stand up for what you actually believe in, and
so that is what this is all about. Finally, let
me say one other thing. Democrats also are eating their
own right now, and Representative Mikey Cheryl, a Democrat from
New Jersey and the New Jersey governor elect, had this
(28:44):
to say about the Democratic Party right now and the
government shut down.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Of the Garden State.
Speaker 14 (28:51):
Congratulations on your promotion, Congresswoman. We should note, along with
other notable Democrats, you won last week after campaigning to
a large degree on the issue of affordability. Right now,
Democrats are voting on a bill that does not extend
Obamacare subsidies, so healthcare costs, insurance costs are going to
go up significantly for millions of Americans on the Obamacare subsidies,
(29:16):
on the Obamacare exchanges. How do you square what Democrats
like yourself ran on what seems to be an important
issue for Republicans to wake up and pay attention to
if they want to keep their jobs next year, and
what's playing out on the floor of the House right now, Well.
Speaker 15 (29:32):
I think you know I'm going to continue the fight.
To me, this is unacceptable that people were pretty clear
when they spoke in a Jersey that they wanted somebody
to fight for them and so I'm going to keep
fighting for affordability, to drive down cost, and will keep
fighting against all of the attacks coming from Washington. And
then you know, we are going to address the key
ways in which Trenton is not working for them either.
(29:55):
But this is a travesty right now to continue to
raise prices on people. With this bill, we're going to
see prices in the affordable care market go up by
almost one hundred and seventy five percent. It's just harming
families across the nation and certainly in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
You listen to what she had to say there, and
there's one big takeaway. She is in the party that
created the Affordable Care Act, which is no longer affordable.
In fact, many would argue it never was. It was
all smoking mirrors. And now your tax dollars, by the
billions are going to one place, the insurance companies that
(30:32):
are making record profits right now. And then there's another
president who's saying, I don't want your mind to go there.
My name is Donald Trump, and I wanted to go
directly to you, and that's where the fight is going.
Will the government be in charge of every aspect of
your life? That's what democrats are advocating for or will
(30:53):
Donald Trump do what he says is right. Give you
your money and your own options to do what's best
for you, your healthcare, and your families.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's what really this is all about.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Don't forget to share this podcast, by the way, with
your family and your friends on social media wherever you
can hit that subscribe or auto download button and I'll
talk to you again tomorrow.
So Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome is really
sticking it to the government employees that decided, now, screw it,
we'll just let America be unsafe from the skies. I'm
not going to work, even though they knew when the
government reopened they were gonna get back pay. There's a
lot of people in the government decided, I'm gonna go
on vacation, I'm not gonna show up for work, even
though they knew they were gonna get back pay. So
(00:23):
they decided at the White House they were going to
reward good behavior by handing out And this is, by
the way, amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I love when people win when they do the right thing.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Because people that showed up during the shutdown did not
know this was going to happen, right, It wasn't even
a rumor.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It wasn't talked about, it wasn't discussed.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They are now gonna they now have I should say,
past Tense handed out ten thousand dollars bonus checks to
TSA agents for exemplary service during the shutdown. Now look again,
every TSA agent knew they were going to get the
back pay. Now some of them were like, I'm going
to do uber lyft, and I understand that if you've
(01:02):
got no savings and you've got to go do something else,
I'm fine with that. But I do love the fact
that there were people that showed up, took their job
seriously and wanted to make sure that Americans could still
travel like they took pride in their country. And that's
exactly why the Home in Security Secretary Christy Nome handed
out these ten thousand dollars bonus checks to agents who
(01:23):
were there and working without pay during the government shutdown.
Now there are liberals now that are actually angry over this,
and they're mad.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I want you to hear.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Christinome in her own words as she spoke to reporters
in front of her at a press conference at Houston's
George Bush International Airport and turned to present about a
dozen of the TSA agents with their ten thousand dollars
bonus checks. This is like again, rewarding good behavior a
boss move as a taxpayer.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I love this because.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I fly a lot of you did, and we should
reward good workers and we shouldn't reward workers that just
don't show up when things get tough. And by the way,
I hate to be honest like to say it this way,
but like this is just reality. If you're a government worker,
you know at some point you're not going to get
paid to during a government shut down. They they happen
(02:20):
too often now to for anyone to think that like
this isn't gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And when you get hired, you should know this.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So there is a little bit of like preparedness that
should be involved here, not like, oh my gosh, I'm shocked,
I'm going to miss a paycheck. Like you're a government employee,
you know the government gets shut down a lot. You
know that Democrats are holding you hostage. You know this
is going to be a deal, and then to still
show up, God bless you.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Take a listen, Christy Nome in her own words.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So today, though we have many other TSA officers here
that I'm going to be handing bonus checks to, every
single one of these individuals served with exemplary service, which
means they were an example of not only taking seriously
the security concerns and measures that TSA has to every
(03:08):
single day in the Department of Homeland Security, but also
they went above and beyond. They helped individuals, They served
extra shifts, They helped with transportation of people getting back
and forth to work, other challenges that families may have.
They were all examples of what we need and we
will be continuing to not only recognize employees across the country,
(03:31):
but we will be looking at every single TSA official
that helped serve during this government shutdown and do what
we can to recognize that and help them financially with
a bonus check to get them and their family back
on their feet. So with that, Rico, I want to
present to you a check and say thank you from
the American people. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Ashley, thank you, yes, And is.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Leo here all right?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I'm also incredibly great for everyone in this community, this airport,
the private companies that stepped up and helped support these
families during the government shutdown when their paycheck stopped. And
I just can't say enough about the partnerships that we've
been able to build in light of this tragic situation.
When the Democrats shut down the government, that we still
(04:18):
saw the best of America. We saw people come together
and support each other, take care of each other, and
go above and beyond to make sure that the mission
of the Department of Homeland Security was fulfilled that it
was to keep the American people safe with honor and
with integrity, and that we can continue to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
One of the things that came out of this that was,
by the way, one of the lies is the left
started rumor that only the people that were with Christino
were going to get these checks and that they were
just doing this as a photo op.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Guess what, that's also a lie.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
The envelopes containing their ten thousand dollars bonus checks are
going too many more. The Truman Manifestration has said they
will be going to quote several thousand other agents who
received high performance marks from their supervisors. The press conference
being held has that record breaking forty three day government
shutdown ended, marking the beginning of TSA agents and other
(05:13):
government employees being paid again and again.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They got back pay.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Now, why all this happened is because of President Donald Trump.
He's the one that came out and recommended not like
a two thousand dollars bonus or a three thousand or
five thousand. No, he said, uh huh, I want a
ten thousand dollars bonus. Freyer traffic controllers who worked during
the shutdown as well, when asked by Fox NEWSS of
our ingram about where the money would come from, Trump's answered,
(05:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'll get it from someplace.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Which also tells you just how bloated our federal government
is and why DOGE and other groups are doing everything
they can to start protecting your tax dollars. Even more, quote,
I always get the money from someplace, regardless, it doesn't matter.
I do a lot of bonuses for people because it's
really something that is like the American way, and you
think about it, the president said. Now, the checks given
(06:03):
to TSA agents on Thursday were from carryover funds from
the fiscal year twenty twenty five. An internal memo from
the Department of Homeland Security obtained by MSNBC stated, so,
now we have a president that's saying, you're a great American.
You work hard, you show up, you're a team player.
Guess what we're going to reward you if you didn't
(06:24):
get great remarks from your supervisor because you're one of
those that called in sick or just decided I'm going
to take a free paycheck backdated because everyone got paid
even if they didn't show up for work, Well, good
for you. You got paid, right, you got paid now. Also,
one of the things that's interesting about this is that
(06:46):
Democrats are now talking about another issue, and that is
shutting the government down again. I want to just make
sure you understand how close we are to that happening again.
In fact, Democrats Representative Bell said this on TV. I
voted against reopening the government because snap recipients were happy
(07:08):
with me doing so to make a point still holding
Americans hostage. It is insane listen to this Democrat on
CNN saying I didn't want the government to open.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Democrats actually aren't happy about how the shutdown ended, especially
House Democrats. You have someone like a congresswoman at Casio
Cortez who thinks that they gained nothing from the deal.
She's used words like cowardice, and now you have to
figure out what to do after the Senate folded. I
just want to play for you what she said.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
You have the refusal and the outright cruelty among House
Republicans and the White House who went to court to
try to sue for their ability to deny people's access
to food. This is the reality that we're in right now,
and we need to act like it, and we cannot
enable this kind of cruelty with our cowardice?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Were the Senate Democrats who voted to end this shutdown cowards?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
You know, I'm not going to get into the name calling.
Let's talk about policy and what matters to the American people.
I'm not happy with this, with this resolution, I voted no,
matter of fact. I voted hell no to be perfectly
if they had that option. And when we were.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Voting, I know, but six and fifty thousand Missourians were
losing stat benefits. Would they be happy that you were
sticking it out to make a point?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Absolutely, And that's why I voted no. And now two
hundred and sixty thousand Missourians could lose their healthcare or
see their healthcare called skyrocket. But I'll say this quickly though.
The issue, though, is that I'm not going to spend
my time focusing on eight individuals when we see a
Republicans who have the House, Senate and the Presidency cutting
(09:00):
head healthcare, cutting Medicaid, and I'm going to train my
sites on them who are responsible for the Republicans, who
are responsible for a Republican health care crisis.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I think that I'm looking at a Quinnipiac pole showing
that forty five percent of voters blame Republicans. But here's
the thing, thirty nine percent blame Democrats for the shutdown.
So are you missing how much the public is disappointed
with Democrats as well?
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Yes, I think that. I think folks are disappointed in
government period, full stop. I think that we, you know,
we need to do a better job. I ran because
of that, and so I've been here now in office
ten months and I'm seeing how DC works and I'm
seeing the dysfunction. And what I'm saying is we need
(09:46):
to clean up this corruption. We need to start working
for the American people, and we need to start putting
the interests of regular working class folks first. And we
haven't seen that. And it's time that we got to
that business. Augus.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So you hear this congressman here and he's like, all right,
So I just want to be clear, like I actually
wanted to hurt the American people more. I wanted to
keep the government shut down. And I was happy because
I need to make a point. These people are totally insane.
And by the way, if you're on food stamps in Missouri,
just know that Representative Wesley Bell wanted you to starve
(10:21):
your kids just a little bit longer to quote make
a point. Every so often, something happens that reminds us
just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to
take our rights for granted. We must draw a line
in the sand, and our friends at Patriot Mobile have
been doing just that for more than twelve years. The
(10:42):
truth is, there is only one provider that boldly stands
in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is worth
fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only
are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing the
competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the only
carriers offering premium access to all three major US networks,
(11:06):
giving you nationwide coverage and service that you can count
on day after day. They also offer unlimited data plans,
mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet back up, in so much more,
and switching has never been easier. You can activate in
minutes on your phone from your home or your office,
and you keep your same number. You've got now keep
(11:28):
your same phone or upgrade to a new one. And
this is where the magic happens. Every month, about five
percent of your bill is given back to conservative causes
at no extra cost to you that stand up for
our First and our Second Amendment rights, the rights of
unborn children, and are wounded warriors and those that have
fought for a country and wear a badge. So take
(11:50):
a stand today and make a difference with every call
you make. Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine
to seven to two Patriot. Use the promo code ferguson
for a free month of service as well. That's patriotmobile
dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot,
And make the switch and make a difference with every
(12:12):
call you make. There has been a lot of conversation
about the Epstein files. Many Democrats are now obsessed over
the Epstein files and trying to use anything where Donald
Trump's name was used to connect him to some sort
of horrific behavior without any evidence to back it up. Well,
(12:32):
while they're playing checkers, Donald Trump is now playing chess.
A pretty brilliant move by President Donald Trump. On Friday,
he has now directed the Justice Department to investigate the
disgrace late financier Jeffrey Epstein and his ties to several
high profile Democrats, as well as certain banks, the President,
(12:56):
writing this now that the Democrats are using the Epstein
involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their
disastrous government shutdown and all of their other failures. I
will be asking the Attorney General Pambondi and the Department
of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI,
(13:18):
to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton,
Larry Summers, Reied Hoffman, JP, Morgan Chase, and many other
people and institutions to determine what was going on with
them and him. Trump writing this on true Social this
(13:39):
is another Russia Russia, Russia scam, with all arrows pointing
to the Democrats. He added, records show that these men
and many others spent large portions of their life with
Epstein and on his island.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Stay tuned now.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
In an earlier post on Friday, Trump said that Epstein
was a demoic and therefore is the Democrats problem, not
the Republican's problem.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
He also accused the.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Democrats of doing everything in their withering power to push
the Epstein hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing more than
fifty thousand pages of documents, Trump said lawmakers should not
waste time looking into him and instead should focus on
the Democrats. He later named in the post, announcing the
pro Democrats, of course, are trying to use this to
(14:28):
hurt the president. What's interesting is, if you go back
and look at the history of this, Democrats never gave
a damn about the victims. In fact, it's the point
that I brought up on Fox News Channel to the
Democrat's face, saying, where were you, guys when you had
the power to do something about this. Take a listen
to what I had to say on Abby Phillips show
(14:49):
on CNN.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
You guys gave us.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Much thought and much obsession over this when Joe.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Biden was president. I wish you were asking for this
much transparency when.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It wasn't about to attacking the president of the United
States of America and I scored political points. I wish
you guys cared about the victims as much as you
care about trying to attack Donald Trump. When CNN's own
reporting says, and I quote the woman who is the
survivor literally accused Democrats, not Republicans, of hiding her name
(15:21):
because she had not alleged Trump, Well, you're talking about
anything wrong.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
You're talking about Virginia, correct, who we just talked about,
And my point is she died by it. Just to
be clear, she but.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That she accused Democrats when she was alive, her words,
of hiding her name because she had not alleged Trump
to have done anything wrong. That is how sick and
partisan this has become.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You guys didn't care about the victims. You didn't care
about anything else.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
And now you're saying, well, maybe Donald Trump knew of
a crime and maybe didn't report it.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That's just straight up slander and libel.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
You're telling I have to finish the crime.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
Turn that one thing up, because I think this is important.
I don't want this most information to be out there.
When Virginia Jeffrey said that Trump had not done anything wrong,
she was not accusing the Republicans accused Democrats of withholding
her name for that reason. She just separately said that
that she did not see Trump do anything untoward.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's that's that's the point.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And so I go back to what he made because.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
People to think that that it was that she's responding
to Democrats, which she was not.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
But go ahead, here's the thing. First of all, Joe
Biden was not on the plane. He was not there.
You go jump to another because I was not on
the plane, was not there. Everybody said, well, Joe Biden
didn't do whatever. The Democrats were never saying, don't release.
The Republicans now are saying don't release.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's not true. I said release, stay consistent.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Ironically, the reason this is such an issue now is
because Republicans campaigned on it and made it Agasa Franklin,
Shame on the Biden DOJ for not having been more proactive,
and thank you to the Republicans. The man is fear,
all the bloggers, fear the Republican right wing who spent
the campaign making this into a big issue.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And I'd say, now, as long as you protect the
victim's release. But what you notice Democrats, and that's why
I went back in history, they didn't care about this
at all. The only thing they want to do now
is hurt President Donald Trump. They want to do anything
they can to try to imply that he did something terrible,
that he did something that is like awful.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
He didn't do anything wrong. That is the biggest difference here.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And so now with the President saying okay, DOJ you
guys want to go there, you want to play this game, fine,
we will investigate you. Now let's go through the names
of people. You notice he said Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton
has never been investigated for going to Epstein Island, flying
on his plane, or any of the connections there, which,
(18:08):
by the way, also brings us to another story that
involves the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation, where money was flowing
in when Hillary Clinton was a Secretary of State and
running for president, is now the center of more attention. Now,
there's a part of this story that you may not
actually even know about, and that is the IRS actually
(18:29):
opened a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But guess what.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
In twenty nineteen, a Democrat was in charge of the
White House, the FBI, and all of law enforcement. So
what happened? The investigation was abruptly stopped. Here's more of
the background on that story.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
And a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty
nineteen but then suddenly stopped. That's according to new memo
detailing how agents suddenly cut off contact with whistleblowers after
months of cooperation. The National Newsdesk Jeff Harris joining us
the federal government as we know, has long been concerned
(19:13):
about the Clinton Foundation, but these memos they only add
to that worry. What are you learning tonight?
Speaker 11 (19:19):
So the memos detail how IRS agents abruptly cut off
contact with two whistleblowers, John moynihan and Larry Doyle. They
had been working with for several weeks now, several meetings
even taking place with them between January and April of
twenty nineteen, before then abruptly getting cut. Before losing contact, Moynihan,
(19:39):
a retired DEA financial crimes analyst, in Doyle, a corporate
tax compliance officer, had spent years researching the Clinton Foundation,
even testifying before Congress.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
The investigation clearly demonstrates that the Foundation was not a
charitable organization per se, but in point of fact, was
a closely held family partnership.
Speaker 11 (20:01):
Just The News, reviewing internal IRS emails and memos, which
show an IRS office in New Jersey, initially took serious
interest in the allegations, meeting with the two in late
twenty nineteen. One memo, reading in part quote, they found
numerous problems with the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Foundation
was operating as a foreign agent. But weeks later the
(20:21):
agent's reversed course, saying, quote, we can't talk about the CF.
Others looking into the foundation include author Peter Schweizer, who
spoke with the National News Desk Thursday morning about his
own investigation.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
The Nigeria Office had phone tapped interviews with Nigerian officials
saying that they had donated at the Clinton Foundation and
they were getting favors in.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Returns, but the Clinton Foundation has long denied any wrongdoing.
Hillary Clinton even pushing back when asked about possible pay
for play during her twenty sixteen presidential campaign.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
At the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent ninety percent of
all the money that is donated on behalf of programs
of people around the world and in our own country.
Speaker 11 (21:04):
Now, just the News reports both moynihan and Doyle are
currently pursuing two whistleblower cases involving the Clinton Foundation. One
is tentatively scheduled for trial beginning December.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
First, here's what's interesting about this background of it stopping
this investigation twenty nineteen. Now the Trump administration has reopened
it and making it clear they're going to look into
a why it was stopped and what crimes could have
been committed. Again, the IRS opened the criminal probe and
(21:35):
they were shut down by the Biden administration. This is
truly shocking. But now we're going to get some answers.
We're being told moving forward, I want to move to
another story that's really important and it deals with corruption.
It is a story that you've probably not heard a
single word about this why because it is to protect
(21:58):
the leader of the day Democratic Party. There is a
front runner for the man or woman who will be
the nominee for the Democratic Party for president, and right
now that is the California Governor Gavin Newsom. Well, there's
a story that if this was connected to someone like
Donald Trump, the world would be freaking out. The media
would be covering at twenty four to seven and they
(22:21):
would say, where there's smoke, there's fire. Well, let me
tell you the story of the former Gavin Newsom chief
of staff. Now the chief of staff in your administration.
There's literally no one hire that has more influence than
the chief of staff. The chief of staff has been
arrested in charge is part of a political corruption investigation.
(22:47):
California Governor knew Some's former chief of staff was arrested
in charge with having conspired to commit bank and wirefraud,
among other things, as part of a political corruption investigation.
In a press release from the United States Office of
the Eastern District of California, it was revealed that a
(23:07):
federal grand jury charged Dana Williamson, fifty three with conspiracy
to commit bank and wire fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud,
conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruct justice, subscribing
to false tax returns, and making false statements.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
This is a crucial step in an ongoing political corruption
investigation that began more than three years ago, is what
the US Attorney at grants in a statement. As it
always has the US Attorney's Office will continue to work
tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to protect the people
of California from political corruption. Now part of the press release,
(23:50):
the political consultant Dana Williamson, fifty three of Carmichael, California,
was charged by the federal grand jury with conspiracy to
commit bank and fraud, bank fraud, wire conspiracy to fraud
the United States and obstruct justice, and then subscribing to
his false tax returns making false statements. The twenty three
count indictment was unfiled following Williamson's arrest in the morning.
(24:15):
Court documents reportedly show that between February of twenty twenty
two and September of last year, twenty twenty four, the
chief of staff for the Governor Gavin Newsom, conspired with
others to divert approximately two hundred and twenty five thousand
(24:37):
in funds from a dormant political campaign to an associate
person use. According to the press release, Williamson and other
people also reportedly funneled the money through various business entities
and disguised it as a pay for what was in
reality a no show job. This again, according to the
(24:59):
press release, Williamson also allegedly conspired with a business associates
to create false backdated contracts after receiving a civil subpoena
in January of twenty twenty regarding paycheck protection program known
as PPP loans. This also coming from the press release,
(25:22):
and then the FBI said this quote, Today's charges are
the result of a three year, relentless investigative work in
partnership with IRS Criminal Investigation and the US Attorney's Office.
This coming from the FBI Sacramento Field Office. They said, quote,
the FBI will remain vigilant in its efforts to uncover fraud, corruption,
(25:46):
and ensuring our government systems are held to the highest standard.
In a statement to Fox News, a spokesman for the
California governor clarified that Williamson, who was Newsome's chief of
staff literally in un till late last year, was no
longer serving under newsomb administration. Miss Williamson no longer serves
(26:08):
in the administration, the spokesman told the outlet, While we
are still learning details about the allegations, the governor expects
all public servants to uphold the highest standard of integrity. Now,
this just goes back to corruption one oh one. We
see a lot of corruption the Democratic Party. This time
it's Gavin Newsom's longtime chief of staff. And notice how
(26:32):
if you're listening to this show right now, this is
probably the very first time that you've heard about this story.
If this was connected to any Republican governor, especially in
a swing state, the media would cover this twenty four
(26:52):
to seven, wall to wall. So why now be silent. Well,
they've got to protect Newsom. He's their guy. They understand
that he has the best chance of winning the nomination,
and so there's many around him that I'm sure are saying, hey,
we'll just look the other way. But this goes back
(27:12):
to the core of the Democratic Party. Right now, the
rules really never seem to apply to them. You can look,
for example, on college campuses at UC Berkeley and the
radicals that went after turning point conservative kids, all caught
on camera. You can move from there to what we're
witnessing all across the country and what we've seen with
(27:35):
anti semitism and Democrats taking over college campuses, with radical activists,
kids who are now turning into anarchists. And this really
all goes back to the issue of following the money,
whether it was Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and
you go on and on with Democrats who are now
(27:57):
going after college campuses and conservative organizations. What Democrats are
clearly trying to do right now is make you feel unsafe.
If you saw the videos coming out of UC Berkeley,
I can tell you if you were there as a conservative,
you would not have felt safe. And that's exactly what
democrats want by design. They want you to be quiet,
(28:21):
they want you to be silent. They don't want you
to stand up for what you actually believe in, and
so that is what this is all about. Finally, let
me say one other thing. Democrats also are eating their
own right now, and Representative Mikey Cheryl, a Democrat from
New Jersey and the New Jersey governor elect, had this
(28:44):
to say about the Democratic Party right now and the
government shut down.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Of the Garden State.
Speaker 14 (28:51):
Congratulations on your promotion, Congresswoman. We should note, along with
other notable Democrats, you won last week after campaigning to
a large degree on the issue of affordability. Right now,
Democrats are voting on a bill that does not extend
Obamacare subsidies, so healthcare costs, insurance costs are going to
go up significantly for millions of Americans on the Obamacare subsidies,
(29:16):
on the Obamacare exchanges. How do you square what Democrats
like yourself ran on what seems to be an important
issue for Republicans to wake up and pay attention to
if they want to keep their jobs next year, and
what's playing out on the floor of the House right now, Well.
Speaker 15 (29:32):
I think you know I'm going to continue the fight.
To me, this is unacceptable that people were pretty clear
when they spoke in a Jersey that they wanted somebody
to fight for them and so I'm going to keep
fighting for affordability, to drive down cost, and will keep
fighting against all of the attacks coming from Washington. And
then you know, we are going to address the key
ways in which Trenton is not working for them either.
(29:55):
But this is a travesty right now to continue to
raise prices on people. With this bill, we're going to
see prices in the affordable care market go up by
almost one hundred and seventy five percent. It's just harming
families across the nation and certainly in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
You listen to what she had to say there, and
there's one big takeaway. She is in the party that
created the Affordable Care Act, which is no longer affordable.
In fact, many would argue it never was. It was
all smoking mirrors. And now your tax dollars, by the
billions are going to one place, the insurance companies that
(30:32):
are making record profits right now. And then there's another
president who's saying, I don't want your mind to go there.
My name is Donald Trump, and I wanted to go
directly to you, and that's where the fight is going.
Will the government be in charge of every aspect of
your life? That's what democrats are advocating for or will
(30:53):
Donald Trump do what he says is right. Give you
your money and your own options to do what's best
for you, your healthcare, and your families.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's what really this is all about.
Speaker 1 (31:06):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
