Speaker 2 (00:07):
Boston six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty
eight is the number, am I the only one. I
really would like to take the temperature of Cooner Country
and and get a sense of what many of you
are thinking. I don't mind this shutdown. I mean I
think it's disgusting. Please don't get me wrong. Uh, you know,
(00:28):
I can't stand the fact that you know you're going
to have people aren't going to get paid. I mean
just that you know, some basic services now are not
going to be rendered at least for a while. So yeah,
I think it's horrible. I don't think it's a good
look for our country. But part of me is like, Okay,
(00:48):
if the Democrats want to commit political suicide, if you're
that determined, you know, it's like, don't jump. Well, if
you really want to insist on jumping off the ledge, okay,
I don't want to standing your way jump Like that's
part of this. I look at this and I'm like, Okay,
you asked for it, you wanted it, you got it.
(01:14):
Listen now to President Trump talking to reporters and saying, look,
number one, we're not going to give free health care
to illegal aliens. They're on drugs. So and you're going
to shut the government down over that issue and you
think you're gonna win. And number two, we're now going
(01:35):
to go on offense. A lot of bureaucrats are going
to be permanently laid off. We are going to fire
them in agency after agency. These are these unnecessary parasites,
as I call them. These are these unnecessary deep state
Democrat bureaucrats and operatives. You want to talk about rooting
(01:58):
out waste, fraud, and abuse, That's exactly what we're gonna
do in agency after agency, program after program. In fact,
as I speak to you, now, listen to this. That's
why part of this I'm like, keep it going. Really,
part of it is like, yeah, this is good. Really,
this is good. A. The Democrats already are underwater in
(02:22):
the polls, that's number one. So politically they're already paying
a price. But apparently now one hundred thousand federal bureaucrats,
one hundred thousand now plan to resign today en masse
in protest of Trump, in protest of him not wanting
(02:47):
to support this massive healthcare package, this one point five
trillion dollars in extra spending that the Democrats are pushing,
and angry that Trump now wants even more permit layoffs
if there is a government shutdown. So already one hundred
thousand are saying we're gonna leave. That's one hundred thousand. Now,
(03:09):
I'm telling you you can hold me to this. The
one hundred thousand that tender their resignations today, nobody will
feel it at all. That is to me what the
most incredible part of all of this. It's like what
Doge exposed. They're laying people off, firing people left, right
(03:30):
and center, and like, we don't feel it at all.
You want to talk about absolute dead weight. You want
to talk about eating up our money and wasting our money,
and just very quickly before I pay that play the
Trump cut. Look, I remember I had a friend in Washington, DC.
I mean he was open about it. He was one
(03:51):
of these federal you know, basically permanent civil servants. He
had a six figure salary, by the way, gold play
healthcare plan. And this guy bragged every time I met him,
he bragged. He goes, Look, I'm telling you, I don't
do anything all day. I'm like, well, you gotta do something.
(04:12):
He's like, really, I watch movies, I read novels, I
go on sports websites. He goes, I don't do anything.
I'm paid to do nothing. And he says, a lot
of my colleagues are the same. And what was I
think it was a GS eleven. I think that's the term.
In other words, they rank you in terms of your
(04:34):
seniority in the federal government. He retired, retired with an
eighty thousand dollars a year, an eighty K pension a year,
And I remember thinking, how are we going to afford
this as a country, Like it's theft. This guy does nothing,
(05:00):
and we're not just paying for his salary and his benefits,
but then we're paying for this outrageous pension for the
rest of his life. We're gonna go bankrupt. Man. That's
where my money is going. That's where our money is going.
So that's why I was always a huge supporter of Doge,
and I'm a big supporter of Trump. When he says, oh, no, no, no,
(05:22):
we're gonna lace these people. They're not coming back like
in the past. No, no, this is not gonna be
a long vacation. No, no, this time, many of them
are never coming back. Listen now to Trump telling Democrats
you want to shut down, We're gonna give you one roll,
cut one Mike.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Stay of the Democrat Party, when they have a thirty
three percent favorability rating on average in.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Recent months and they're willing to shut down the government
over our health care A shutting it down.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
We're not shutting it down. We don't want it to
shut down because we have the greatest period of time ever.
I tell you, we have said seventeen trillion dollars being invested.
So the last person that once they shut down is us. Now,
with that being said, we can do things during the
shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and
irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out,
(06:16):
cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I'm amen, brother, That's why part of me is like, no,
keep it going. No.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The longer disc goes on, the more people they can
let go, the more waste, fraud, and abuse they they
can they can root out. You can fire more of
these dead beats and parasites. Listen to Trump saying they
think I'm going to give free health care to illegals. Right,
they're on drugs up there in the Democratic Party. Roll
(06:49):
cut one a Mike.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
They're taking a risk by having a shutdown because because
of the shutdown, we can do things medically and other ways,
including a bet. If it's we can cut large numbers
of people. We don't want to do that, but we
don't want fraud, waste, and abuse. And you know we're
cutting that good.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I'm honestly, I'm happy. I mean, I'm sorry. It's you know,
the country should never have a shutdown, but you know what,
this could be a very very good thing for the
whole country and more importantly, for Trump and his presidency.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
