Speaker 1 (00:00):
As everybody knows. Just on Tuesday, we had an election
all over this country. And what the election showed is
that the American people want us to stand up to
trump Ism, to his war against working class people, to
his authoritarianism. That is what the American people wanted. But
tonight that is not what happened. So we've got to

(00:22):
go forward and do the best that we can to
try to protect working class people, to make sure that
the United States not only does not throw people off
of healthcare, but ends the absurdity of being the only
major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee healthcare to all people.
We got a lot of work to do. But to
be honest with you, tonight was not a good night,

(00:44):
thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
That was a Bolshevik Bernie. That's Bernie Sanders. He's not happy.
You can tell it's a bad vote. It's a bad night.
He's not happy. AOC's not happy, the squad's not happy.
Elizabeth Warren isn't happy. Frankly, ooh, I'd say about eighty
to ninety percent of Democrats are not happy. And the

(01:10):
liberal media is pulling its hair out.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Uh. They are mad. They're mad at the eight.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Democrats who crossed over to end the shutdown, and ultimately
they're mad at Schumer because Schumer picked a fight and
he didn't win. Six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty eight seven twenty one. Now on the Great
WRKO Jeff Kooner, Boston's Bulldozer. Okay, so let me ask

(01:37):
you in this really it was a battle of wills
between Trump and Chuck. You Schumer? Did Trump break Schumer?
Is Trump the reason why the Schumer shutdown failed? Six
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Bob

(01:59):
in Fall, Thanks for holding Bob, and welcome.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Good morning. I just I really, I really do hope
that this doesn't affect the fact that I think they
should do the filibuster.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
And let me.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Kind of preface that last week, when it started to
be said that they should do the filibuster, I was
against it. I think that tradition is important. I do
think that the Senate is a more deliberative idea. But
when when Trump said we can get voter registration passed,

(02:39):
it started to click in my head. You know, they
have been like kind of leveraging just that small number.
I mean, you just saw it for forty days. They
held and they and like you said, and I agree,
they got nothing out of it. However, right you can
start to pass stuff which would make it virtually impossible,
even in bluest dates for Democrats to win, right, because

(03:03):
if you take away that advantage of like I think
you've said at numerous times, like there we don't even
actually know the number of illegals, and also people who
shouldn't be dead people you know, voting to have a
voter ID would be so substantial. So I really hope

(03:23):
that yes, this got settled, but I really think that
the filibuster should actually now be turned around because I
wasn't looking at it from that perspective, But once you do,
you can see a lot of different things can get
done within a year's time too, Like if he gets this,
if you were to get voter ID approved, like say

(03:44):
in January, it would be on the rolls for November.
So I do feel that they need to go further
now because you know, because this can't happen, say in
March it comes up for another cr they can do
this again. So I think that that kind of has
to has to be the way to go now. And
you could even do stuff to me the idea of

(04:08):
and I don't know how realistic this is, but get
rid of this month long voting process, you know. I mean,
I would imagine at state levels you couldn't do it.
But for federal office, I'm certain that like you shouldn't
have like a month before. Oh yeah, I can just
go walk in and vote if I mean, I'm certain
this should be exceptions, but it should not be the

(04:29):
mandate that well oh yeah, ye, Bob.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
I don't want to get You're right, Look, you're right,
but I don't want to get lost on these side points.
I want to I want to drill down to your
main point. And you know, Bob, I don't know if
you and I were separated at birth, you know, or
you're just a.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Brother from another mother. I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
But I was on Newsmax yesterday morning, and this is
what I said on Newsmax, and I also said it
in my post on X Yeah yesterday as well up
until about ten days ago. And we even had this discussion.
And I'm reversing myself, and I'll explain why I said no, no,
don't get rid of the filibuster exactly for the reasons

(05:13):
you pointed out, not just because it's tradition.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, that's part of it.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
But I always said, look, it's the ultimate check and
balance on the Democrats. Right, you're not going to be
in power forever. So say an AOC becomes president, or
a Bernie or whoever, a Mam Donnie. You know, if
the Democrats control the Presidency and the House and the Senate.
I said, if we don't have that filibuster, you're gonna

(05:39):
get a packed Supreme Court. They're going to end the
Electoral College. They're going to admit Puerto Rico and Washington
BC estates. In other words, they're going to implement policies
they're going to ram it through that will give the
Democrats a permanent majority and they will then impose communism

(06:01):
and destroy America. And so I always said, no, you
gotta keep the filibuster. You have to keep the filibuster.
I'm with Donald Trump now. I think it's time to
end the filibuster. And I'll tell you why. Exactly to
your point, Tuesday's election I think was a watershed. Bernie

(06:25):
Sanders has openly said, we get back power, we're nuking
the filibuster. The Democrats have openly said we get back power,
we're gonna nuke the filibuster. Mom, Donnie and part of
his revolution with AOC and others. They go, no, no, no, no,

(06:46):
the filibuster that's gone. So as Trump is saying, don't
be stupid, don't bring a knife to a gunfight, the
filibuster is going to be ended. Jeff Kooner Boston's bulldozer.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, just very very quickly, because I

(07:08):
do want to talk about this in greater length later
in the show. But the Coooner man has changed his mind.
And it's not that there's anything wrong with saying we
should uphold the filibuster. It's I it was my position
up until ten days ago. I think it's a very reasonable, logical,
respectable position, there's no question. But the Democrats have changed,

(07:34):
and I think Trump is right. They're determined now they're
going to end the filibuster if ever they take back power,
and eventually they will, they're going to end the filibuster. So,
you know, the expression don't bring a knife to a gunfight.
What is clear, this is the Democrats strategy. Eat up time,

(07:55):
you know, shut the government down for forty days. Nothing
can get done. Now we're going to have Thanksgiving, then
we're going to head into Christmas. By the time it's over,
it's already you know, January of next year. That's what
eleven months until the midterms if you need to shut
the government down again if they don't reach a deal

(08:16):
by January thirty first. So what I'm saying is eat
up clock, extend time, stretch the Trump presidency out. Then
you get to the mid terms. The Democrats are planning
to take back the House. Then they impeach Trump again
and again, they defund him, and before you know it,

(08:38):
the Trump presidency is over. And there are many many
establishment Republicans who secretly, privately agree with that strategy because
they believe they can put the genie back in the bottle.
And you know that Trump was just an exception, an aberration,

(08:59):
that the establishment, the globalists that used to run the
Republican Party will come back and everything will be back
to normal in the swamp. So Trump is arguing, and
he's right, You've got to end the filibuster now because
if we don't, the Democrats will come back to power

(09:23):
and then they will nuke the filibuster, invoke the so
called nuclear option and get rid of the filibuster, and
then everything will be fifty plus one. And he goes,
what do you think they're going to do. They're going
to pack the Supreme Court. They're going to add Puerto

(09:46):
Rico and Washington DC estates, giving them four extra votes
in the Senate. They're going to end the electoral College.
They're going to give amnesty to illegal aliens. You know,
you write, you go down the list. He goes, they're
gonna make themselves a permanent one party majority. So he's like,

(10:08):
the Republicans are being absolutely foolish. Those are his words,
not mine, saying now is the time to strike before
it's too late, And he says, if we nuke the filibuster,
we can never have another government shut down again as
long as we're in control. But more than that, we

(10:29):
can pass the entire MAGA agenda, voter id laws, we
can end mail in balloting. We can really then ramp
up deportations and really secure that border. We can end
election fraud once and for all. We can completely wipe

(10:52):
out illegal aliens getting any kind of welfare or healthcare benefits,
which would be a massive impetus for them to self deport.
In other words, we can solve most of the country's problems,
and we could do it within a year and make

(11:13):
it almost impossible for Democrats to cheat in future elections.
In fact, listen now to President Trump, this was I
believe in a back and forth with reporters, and he said, look, yeah,
it was Friday, just Friday, and he's saying, look on

(11:33):
the filibuster, saying, it's no longer a question of whether
it's gonna go. It's gonna go. The only question is
who's gonna nuke it first, us or the Democrats. Let's
not play defense, let's play offense. Roll cut four, Mike.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
If we terminate the philibuster, the country will be open
within ten minutes after that termination, because we'll take a
second vote, which is the opening of the country, and
the Republicans will vote to open the country. It'll take
ten minutes and the country will be open. Partisans because
it seems like that the mean purpose of the philibusters

(12:19):
to create some for commonid So it didn't work. Obviously,
you're right, that was that was the purpose of the filibuster, bipartisanship,
But that didn't work. Well, no, if there's If the
filibuster is terminated, we will have the most productive three
years in the history of our country. If the filibuster

(12:41):
is not terminated, then we will be in a slog
with the Democrats, and very little for either party will
be done.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
He's right, paralysis, and then eventually the Democrats may one
day come back to power and then, believe me, they'll
terminate that filibuster so fast, your that is going to spin,
and then we're done. America's finished. They will destroy America.
So Trump is basically saying, look, do you want to

(13:10):
win or do you not want to win? I mean,
that's the question now. And so you know, I was
always for the filibuster, but Tuesday changed me last Tuesday.
And it wasn't just the election of Mom Donnie, although
that to me is clearly a watershed Jay Jones. You

(13:32):
stand behind and vote for a man who literally openly
fantasizes repeatedly about murdering Republicans and watching their children die
in the arms of their mother. I'm like, look, if
they're willing to accept homicide, the murder of their political opponents,

(13:59):
if they're willing to vote an Islamo communist into power.
By the way, it's come out now Mamdanni is an
open admirer of Vladimir Lenin. Lenin, you think they're going
to keep the filibuster?

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
In fact, and Trump was the one again who made
this point. He said, the Democrats voted the last time
to end the filibuster. They're on record, you're not to
even speculate what they're gonna do. And the only two
there were two Democrats that defected, and it was those
two Democrats that kept the filibuster because the Republicans all

(14:38):
voted to keep the filibuster. So which two Democrats voted
against the filibuster? It was Kirsten Cinema Arizona and Joe
Manchin West Virginia. Well, guess what mansion is gone retired.
Cinema is gone retired. In other words, they get back in.

(15:01):
The two people that voted against nuking the filibuster are
no longer there. They're gonna terminate the filibuster. So why
are we gonna be stupid? We know they're gonna cheat,
we know they're gonna use mail in balloting, ballot harvesting,
have illegals vote, don't require any voter ID This is

(15:23):
beyond suicidal. And so that's why I'm being honest with you.
I've changed my mind, not that I want to change
my mind, but I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
We have no choice.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
We have to recognize reality. We have to recognize who
and what the current Democratic Party is. And as Trump
put it, it's now dominated by crazed, lunatic leftists. They're unhinged,
they're crazy, they're Marxist, they're radical, their revolutionary, they're a

(16:02):
communist party. They don't care about any tradition, and certainly
they don't care about the filibuster.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Now.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Bernie even said, we keep the filibuster for now because
we use it against Trump and the Republicans. But then
when the party says we have to change opinion, then
which inch. So it's obvious the filibuster is a tool

(16:34):
to stop Trump, that's it. And when they get power back,
then they're gonna end that filibuster and they're gonna ram
socialism and communism right down our throats and you will
never recognize the United States again. So it doesn't matter

(16:55):
that this filibuster is now over. It doesn't matter that
this shutdown is now over. Remember this only keeps funding
the government open until the end of January. They could
fill a buster again and shut the government down at
the end of January again and drag this thing into

(17:15):
February in March, just to keep blocking and paralyzing and
obstructing Trump. Six one seven two six, six sixty eight
sixty eight is the number. Okay, let's throw this mother
log on the fire. I mean, what the hell you know,
go big or go home. So Trump victorious. Now the

(17:39):
shutdown is going to be over the next couple of days.
Eight Democrats have now bolted from Schumer, from their main
from Democrats. These eight Democrats now are voted with Republicans
to end the filibuster. The shutdown will now be over.
They will fund the government until the end of January.

(18:01):
And the Democrats got nothing. They did not even get
a one year extension on the subsidies for Obamacare, no
free health care for illegals. They couldn't even get circumcisions
for Zambia. They got nothing, absolutely nothing. No bailout for NPR,

(18:23):
no bailout for the liberal media, no bailout for PBS, zilch, nada, nothing.
The filibuster. Is it time to end it? And should
the Republicans be the one to terminate it. This is
from a good friend of mine, Rick texted me on

(18:45):
my personal phone. Jeff, I yes, I agree, do it
now before Thanksgiving. The Democrats have never been by partisan
in a world where people all play by the same rules,
the filibuster is a noble idea and sharing bipartisan support. However,

(19:09):
that's not where we are now. And Rick goes on,
it's a bit of a long text, but basically, you're
dealing now with people who abuse the system for their
own benefit, and they want to undermine our country and
eventually infiltrate our government and destroy it. And so why

(19:30):
would you give them that power over Republicans when we
know that the moment they get power, they're going to
end and terminate the filibuster and literally destroy the United States.
Let's end the filibuster, put in voter id laws and

(19:50):
mail in balloting, restore integrity to our elections, and pass
the entire MAGA agenda. Save our country before the Democrats
steal it. Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight agree, disagree? All right, let's go to the
blazing phone lines. Mike, Maestro, Mike, who do you want

(20:14):
me to go to first Maggie and Namesbury. Thanks for
holding Maggie and welcome.

Speaker 7 (20:22):
Good morning, Jeff.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Hi.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
Now I am a registered independent, but that Trump never
ceases to amaze me. I mean, Phuda, who's to him?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
And I'm with you.

Speaker 7 (20:34):
I changed my mind about the filabuster for a couple
of reasons, many of which you already said. I would
like to add a couple of things, Jeff. If they
do end it and can get through legislation, let's put
a package, a legislative package together that prevents a government
shut down in the future. I mean, to me, my

(20:55):
anger was like, wait a minute, Congressman. You work for
a woman, you work for us. This is our tax
payer money that you're messing around with. Enough is enough.
There must be something we can put together. If we
can end the filibuster and get it passed, you could
do a couple of things that force negotiation. You could
add some sanctions on to congressmen and women should they

(21:17):
vote for a government shutdown in the future. You can
put some things in place that enforce that certain parts
of the government maintain getting money so that those important
parts can continue even if they can't decide on a budget.
I mean, it's some creative things you can do to
create this crap from both sides of the aisle. It's

(21:38):
not okay to the American people to say, hey, we're
not going to work and we're not going to give
you the money that you guys are paid in taxes. No,
that's not okay. And another thing that they might do
if they end the filibuster now is reassessed in three years,
you know what, put it back in. Put it back
in while you can before the next election. I mean,

(21:59):
if they had to. But I agree with you, as
I said, on the reasons that you laid up for
the filibuster. But Jeff, we have to work on something
so that doesn't happen again. They're playing games with our money,
they're playing games with our lives. And sometimes it's both
sides of the isle. In this case it was the Democrats,
and thank oh we have Trump in power quite frankly,
but anyway, those are my thoughts. What do you think
about it?

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well, Maggie, look, I like them, I really do. And look,
one of the things to me, this is what they
call a layup. This is a no brainer, which is,
you know, all these lawmakers, all these politicians, members of Congress.
The government is shut down, they're all getting paid. They're
all getting paid. Their salaries are being paid. So let

(22:42):
me get this straight. Air traffic controllers are not being paid.
Our military people in our military. Now Trump raised private money,
he got private donations to fund, you know, the checks
of our military. But I mean this is pathetic. Where
the Unite States of America we got to rely on

(23:02):
charity to pay the members of our military during a shutdown.
It's outrageous. So, you know, the military, they don't get paid,
I mean through the government when there's a shutdown, So
no checks for them, no government checks the air traffic controllers. Look,
air traffic controller is a very stressful job. I mean,

(23:26):
you know, you got all these planes in the sky
at the same time. You make one mistake. We saw
that in that terrible plane accident in Reagan Airport in DC.
You lose concentration, you make a mistake, and literally hundreds
of people are dead. It's it's a high stress job,

(23:48):
very high burnout. They work very long hours. They're not
getting paid. But you, the senator or the member of
Congress who voted for this shutdown, you're getting paid. It's
to me, it's out it's sickening, it's outrageous. So at
a bare minimum, they shouldn't get paid, I think moreover it, No,

(24:08):
it's it's illegal, like we're just every other government on
the face of the earth. I've never heard of this,
no other country. The only time you hear about a
quote unquote government shutdown is in a kind of banana
republic where the government just goes, you know, caput, like
it's bankrupt.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Like that's it.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's bankrupt, like there's just no money. So parliament is disbanded,
the military literally there's a military coup. The military has
to take over the country to preserve basic order, and
then they got to find a way to pay their creditors.
And but I mean, outside of an absolute national bankruptcy,
I've never heard of a government shutdown ever. I mean,

(24:49):
that's your most basic function. Pass a budget every year.
We're not asking for the sky. You know that that's
your job. So if they can't do their basic job,
then you know, either sanction them or it automatically leads

(25:14):
to them losing their seat, or they pay a massive fine,
or they go to jail. I mean, however you want
to do this, But there should be a law on
the books that a government shut down is illegal. Period.
Now you want to say you can't reach an agreement

(25:35):
on something, fine, pass a continuing resolution, a stop gap
funding measure which funds the government at the current level,
and pass it for four weeks or six weeks, and
you continue to negotiate. But what you don't do is
what the Democrats did in this case. Sometimes it's the Republicans,
you're right, but in this case it was the Democrats.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Schumer, really it was all Schumer.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
You mean, just just the whole damn thing down, Yeah,
and throw the country into crisis and chaos.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
So no, let me tell you a big reason why
the Democrats folded. It wasn't just anymore that flights were
being canceled. They didn't care that people are being massively inconvenienced.
And by the way, this isn't just you know, vacations,
which is bad enough, but business trips, people having to

(26:30):
go on business people fly all the time, you know,
for business purposes. This was really starting to impact the economy.
The fear now was that more and more air traffic
controllers were not showing up at work because they hadn't
been paid in a month, and they said, I can't
do it anymore. I just can't.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
So there were.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Less and less air traffic controllers at these airports, to
the point that people were saying, planes are going to
collide in the middle of the air in the sky.
You're gonna see planes falling out of the sky, do
you understand. So it got to such a dire situation

(27:11):
that they finally said, what are we doing. No, it's over. Well, no, Chuck,
it's over. And this is the part, Maggie that to
me turns my stomach.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
If we were talking.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
About I don't know, we're about to invade a country,
it's a war, and the president won't take it to
Congress for a vote. I'm just giving you an imaginary scenario, hypothetical.
And they said, well, we're gonna shut the government down
because my god, we're going to go to war with China.
You know, we're gonna go to war with Russia. Just

(27:47):
could be a nuclear war.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Damn it. Congress should vote.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
So it's not as if some big issue was at
stake where you would say, look, they had no choice.
I mean, this is of such magnitude and such importance.
They shut the government down because Schumer feared a primary

(28:11):
challenge from Alexandria Ocazio Cortes, because the radical left wing
of the Democrat Party said, you have to stop Trump,
stand up to Trump, burn him down, because if you
don't burn him down, Chuck, we're gonna burn you down

(28:33):
in a primary. And so to save his political rear,
end Chuck Schumer through the entire country into anarchy and chaos,
literally putting people on the verge of going hungry and

(28:54):
planes falling out of the sky. And after forty days
of this is suffering by millions of Americans, which on tape,
Democrats were caught saying, it's the only leverage we have.

Speaker 8 (29:10):
Why.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
I'm sorry these people are suffering, but they're too bad.
They cave, they surrender for nothing, and they got nothing.
So all of this was for nothing. And now because
he's so stupid, now he's guaranteed a primary challenge for

(29:30):
AOC And I'm telling you she is going to destroy
Schumer the way Mam Donnie destroyed Cuomo.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Last night.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
The reason why Chuck, he was on the verge of tears.
I mean, I played some of the cuts. You should
have seen him face read. I thought he was gonna cry.
And it's not just because this is a personal, humiliating
defeat for the Chuckster, but because he knows this is
now his political obituary. Trump just buried him, and AOC

(30:06):
is going to be the shovel that does it.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
Final word to you, Maggie, I agree, Jeff, and you
know what, go Trump, but use this time to make
sure this never happens again. And I hope jd Vance
follows Trump. He will be phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
I agree, I truly agree, Maggie. Thank you very much
for that call. I really appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Mark in Medford, Mark, thanks for holding and welcome.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Jeff.

Speaker 8 (30:36):
While people are starving, Trump is building a.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Ballroom with gold plated toilets.

Speaker 8 (30:44):
What they go to, Jeff, This is what they do
every time they lose. They always bring up a lie.
Because he knows full.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Well, Jeff, that the government.

Speaker 8 (30:55):
Or the taxpayers did not put a single red scent
into that ballroom. But yet he's gonna keep up with
the lies, and they're gonna keep saying it's it's it's
so so predictable now. And if they were dead serious,
they wanted caved. They did all of this because of
the hatred of one man's end of story. And guess what,

(31:18):
that one man just kicked your ass.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Uh, you know, you make a very good point if
they if it really was about kids not getting treatment
for cancer, elderly people dying because they can't get medical care,
you're Mark, you know you're right. If you just take
their rhetoric at its word, then you wouldn't cave. I mean, Mark, honestly,
if kids are dying because they're not getting cancer treatment,

(31:46):
if the elderly are just you know, at home and
neglected and they're just dropping dead because nobody's getting healthcare,
would you cave?

Speaker 7 (31:55):
Mark?

Speaker 4 (31:55):
I wouldn't cave, would you.

Speaker 8 (31:59):
It's like when there were threats of the of the
shutdown before it happened. Right away they said, oh my god,
you're not going to get your solid security, You're not
going to get this, You're not gonna that didn't stop.
They just fear monger. They scare everybody into hating Donald Trump.
After this, that people should realize that the Democrats are

(32:22):
nothing but full of You know what.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Mark, the fact now that the Democrats have waived the
white flag of surrender, what do you think the implications
are going forward? For Trump, for the Republicans, and for
the Democrats. What's the political fallout? In other words, Mark.

Speaker 9 (32:44):
I think a lot more people now will realize that
Donald Trump wants to do nothing but help this country,
save this country, and help the people that live in
this country legally. And for the Democrats, I think it
just I think this is going to be the collapse

(33:06):
of the entire Democratic Party. No one is ever going
to trust these people again. No one is ever going
to believe anything that comes out of their mouths ever.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Again, Mark, thank you very much for that call. Rick
in the great state of Tennessee. Thanks for holding Rick,
and welcome.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
When I heard Schumer talking about kids with cancer, all
I could remember was when Donald Trump was addressing a
joint session of Congress and he appointed a little thirteen
year old to the Secret Service that was suffering from cancer.
Not a Democrat stood up and collapse clapped. They couldn't

(33:51):
even do that. Now, all of a sudden, they're worried
about that.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Oh that's a great point, Rick.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Honestly, to Shay, as they say to Shay, Rick, are
you surprised because the Democrats never cave? You know, these
shutdown battles like ever, they caved. A are you shocked
that they surrendered? And b are you surprised unbelievably that

(34:20):
the Republicans held the line? What say you, Rick?

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Is this? In other words, are we watching now the.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Rise of a new Republican party, a Trump party, a
Maga party, a party now that's willing to fight and
go to the brink. I'm just curious, what say you?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I think we are because normally they cave. And what's
his name? Scott Benson was on with Stephanoffolis the other
day and he said he brought up the fact that
when they had a shutdown during Clinton and Stepanoffal, it's
called the Republicans terrorists when they shut down the government.

Speaker 10 (35:01):
George, the best way to do it. And look, you
were involved in a lot of these in the nineties,
and you know you basically called the Republicans terrorist and
you know you said that it is not the responsible
party that keeps the government closed. And so what we
need is five brave, moderate Democratic senators to cross the aisle,

(35:21):
because right now it is fifty two to three, fifty
two to three, five Democrats can cross the aisle and
reopen the government. That's the best way to do it, George.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
I can disagree with you about the history there, but
we don't know about history lesson.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Right, George, you talk about George, George, let's talk about
what's happening.

Speaker 10 (35:41):
Right yet, I had all your quotes here, I've got
all your quotes, and I'm.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Sure you do.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
And let's talking about that situation.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Red your book.

Speaker 10 (35:50):
So you got one one purchase on Amazon this week,
and that's very much what you say.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
No, it's true.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
He called really they were calling Republicans terrorists. And there's,
by the way, Rick, to show you the hypocrisy of
these people in the media. You know, it's like all
the Republicans, how dare they how dare they not give
health care? You know, Obamacare extensions, on the subsidies and on.
The Democrats are doing the right thing and shutting the
government down. But when you were the press secretary, the

(36:21):
press hack for Bill Clinton and the Republicans shut the
government down, you said, any party that shuts the government
down are a bunch of terrorists.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
So they're not now the Democrats, No, they're.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Not terrorists now, Georgie, Hey, Stephanie Steppodopolis, No, besn't humiliated
and exposed him for the hack that he is.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
And Rick, I gotta.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Tell you, look at the liberal media response A Yai Yai,
The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, this
is CNN, MSNBC. They are flailing the Democrats. They are roasting,
I mean, they're eviscerating the Democrats. So you know, Trump

(37:10):
won just by the reaction of the other side. Rick,
final word.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
To you, my friend, Trump's got some great fighters in
that cabinet. Boy, I'll tell you that forty years off
gave him a lot of time to really arm up
and do some hallmark on these people that he's got
on his team. It's and you know what, I'm far
abolishing the filibusta because you know that the Democrats are

(37:38):
going to do it.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
I'm with you. No, I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
You've got to go on offense.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
I agree with you. I'm not one hundred one thousand percent. Rick,
thank you very much for that call. No notice the
other thing that's changed the second term versus the first term. Yes,
the quality of the cabinet members, the personnel is better,
much better in fact. But notice now I don't care
if it's JD. Vance, I don't care if it's Rubio,

(38:03):
I don't care. If it's Scott Bessant, I don't care.
If it's Tulca Gabbard, I don't care. If it's RFK.
I mean, I don't want to list the whole cabinet.
But when they do media interviews with the fake news,
now they're not a punching bag.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Now. If you notice, they hit back and hit back
and hit.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Back, and you can see it now, they keep delivering
blow after blow after blow. They are fighting back, not
just against the Democrats, but they're fighting back against the
fake news.
