Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is
the number. Okay, everything is on the table this morning.
Chuck Schumer now livid eight Democrats to be technical, seven Democrats,
one independent Senator Angus King from Maine who caucuses with
the Democrats, so eight in total have now bolted. They
(00:22):
have defected, and they voted with the Republicans late last
night until early this morning to end the filibuster, effectively
ending the shutdown. It will take a few more days
for the government to technically reopen, but in essence, now
the shutdown is over. They will pass a continuing resolution
(00:45):
that will fund the entire government until January thirty first
of next year. And they're going to pass it looks
like what are called a minibus, not an omnibus, but
a minibus, three funding bills that will pay the military
and military construction and veterans affairs to the legislative branch.
(01:09):
So all these staffers and aids, all these people in Congress, yep,
they're going to take care of their own people. They're
all going to get paid all of next year. And
the United States Department of Agriculture, why because that's where
the food stamps come from. That's the snap comes from
the USDA, So snap Wick. All of these programs will
(01:32):
be fully funded until October of next year. That's the
fiscal year. It's October first in Congress. That's how they
do the fiscal year October to October, so it will
all these three will be funded all the way until
October of next year. No extensions on the Obamacare subsidies. Nothing,
(01:55):
No free health care for illegals. Nothing, No circum decisions
as I said in Zambia, or gay rights in the
Baltic States, or transgender surgeries in Serbia. No massive liberal
media bailout. They wanted twelve billion for failing liberal outlets
(02:16):
that are losing money like NPR, PBS and others. Nothing,
NATA zero. The only thing they got was that John
Thune will give them a vote just to vote on
extending the ACA subsidies the Affordable Care Act sometime before
(02:37):
the second week of December. But the Republicans say they
will not vote for it, meaning it's going to go down.
So in essence, the Democrats held the American people hostage.
They shut the government down for forty days. They imposed
immense pain, suffering, and misery upon the entire country, and
(03:03):
in the end it was all for nothing. They got nothing,
and the result was a complete and utter failure and
a complete and utter defeat. Dan in Plymouth, Thanks for
holding Dan, and welcome.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Hey Jeff, I'm going to throw another log on the bio. Yes,
may disagree or disagree, but I totally agree with you.
This is a total capitulation by the Democrats to President Trump.
But what remains is the high price and cost of
private health insurance. You see it, I'm sure you see
it in your pay stub. I pay over four hundred
(03:44):
dollars every two weeks for two adults and a young buck,
my son who just graduated college, and it's in You
have co pays, You've got detuctables. The only thing I
get for free is a is a colonoscopy. Ironically enough, so,
I think what President than Trump must do is, in
my opinion, get the risk pool of health insurance. The
(04:07):
OLDU are the high the risks. Perhaps expand medicare to
the generation that elected him. It was our generation, Jeff,
generation X that elected Trump in twenty twenty four, expanded
to probably fifty five years of age. Get that risk
(04:27):
pool out of the private health insurance. And I think
that would cement his legacy and perhaps stop the Democrats
in taking over next year.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Wow do you think of that? I didn't even think
of that. That is very very interesting. Dan. Let me
ask you this, what do you think of Trump's proposal?
It's actually Senator from Louisiana, Bill Cassidy, who's a physician
or whatever, was a physician. This is really ultimately his
original idea. He's the brainchild of it. But Trump loves it.
(05:00):
He's jumped all over it, and there are even some
Democrats now who say, you know what, I may be
willing to take a look at this, which is the
three hundred billion dollars, which is an unbelievable amount of
money that Obamacare is shoveling to these big insurance companies
to keep these premiums, you know, relatively reasonable that Trump
(05:23):
is saying. It's a massive payoff. They're stealing a lot
of the money. It's providing garbage healthcare. It's the most
inefficient way to fund the healthcare system ever, he says,
cut out the middleman completely, take the three hundred billion,
and literally give people who are on Obamacare a check,
(05:44):
a direct check right to their health savings. Account and
it's going to be you know, thousands, thousands and thousands
and thousands of dollars and you get the healthcare plan
that's best for you and your family.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
What say you, Jeff, I thought of that. I'd like
anything that mixes up changes the system. My only fear
is that people that get that money, and you've got
to trust people. I understand that they may not use
those funds for healthcare. And then you and I, the
responsible ones, are going to be flipping the bill, paying
(06:19):
the bill when we go to the hospital because our
insurance is going to be paying for their non coverage.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That's another good point. Yeah, they know they would have
to provide safeguards that the money can only be used,
you know, for healthcare. Or six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay. I
know we've talked about it a little bit in the
last hour and it's not technically the pole question of
the day. The pole question is about Chuck Schumer and
(06:49):
do you think he's now going to retire and basically
to avoid a primary and a crushing defeat by AOC
Alexandria Fidel Castro Cortes, or do you think he's going
to try and run for reelection and good luck. But
we did a poll question a couple weeks ago on
the filibuster and should we end the filibuster? And most
(07:14):
of you in this great audience, and like me at
the time, said no, we shouldn't end it. Why well,
you know we're gonna need it when the Democrats come
back to power one day after Tuesday's election. After now
what we've seen the Democrats, what they're capable of, what
they truly want to do after this punishing forty days shutdown?
(07:38):
Is Trump right? Is it time to terminate the filibuster?
And so I want to ask all of you in
Kooner Country whether you're you know, keeping your fore keeping
the filibuster or you're for nuking the filibuster. I want
to hear from you. Tell me why you believe we
should either keep it or kill it. Two sixty six
(08:02):
sixty eight sixty eight is the number you can also
text the Kooner Man seven zero four seven zero seven
zero four to seven zero. This is from six one
seven Jeff. There is no question the Democrats caved on
the shutdown, and this is a big victory for President
(08:25):
Trump and a crushing defeat for Chuck Schumer. But the
question I have, Jeff is a simple one. The Dems
could have done this deal thirty five days ago. In
other words, this was purely political. They hurt people for
(08:46):
nothing other than politics. I can't disagree. You're completely right.
In fact, you're a thousand, not one hundred. You're a
thousand percent correct. That's the question the country's going to
be asking this deal could have been done? What thirty
five days You could have done this deal forty days ago.
It's a forty day shutdown. You could have done this
(09:08):
deal forty days ago, thirty nine days ago. So in
the end, this was all political. So you put us
through this suffering and misery for nothing, for cheap politics,
to pander to the radical left wing base of your party.
(09:30):
Ay ya yai, seriously, a ya yai, Jim in the
state of Illinois. Thanks for holding, Jim, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, go ahead, you just I just wanted to say
go ahead. I mean in the filibuster by all means.
But we have to realize the power that we would
be giving to the rhinos.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You're saying if we end the filibuster with our.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Thin margin of you know the number of votes that
we have. It would take just a handful of rhinos
to do what rhinos do.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You know, well, Jim, look, that's an excellent point. Let
me just let me ask you this. But they already
do what they do write in other words, like they
already sabotage us. At least I'm just saying from just
as Trump's argument, and you tell me what you say,
(10:37):
at least now we don't have to reach sixty. We
don't give that power to the Democrats. So yeah, we've
got to still deal with these treacherous Judas rhinos. Jim
and Illinois. You're right, But at least now, if I
want to get something done, I just need fifty plus one.
I don't need sixty. And on fifty plus one, Trump
(10:59):
thinks I can get you the voter ID national law.
We can end mail in balloting. We can end, as
he put it, finally, end men in women's sports and
women locker rooms. He ran down the whole list. We
can clean up our elections. We can really start doing
(11:20):
mass deportations with almost no resistance from judges. We can
have you know, legislation backed by Congress. In other words,
he says, we can fix all of the problems in
the country and enact a Maga agenda and clean up
our corrupt elections and end voter fraud, because if we don't,
(11:42):
the Democrats will come back, and then, Jim, they will
end that filibuster, and unlike the Rhinos, they are thickest thieves,
and before you know it, the Supreme Court will be packed. Jim,
You're gonna have new states like Puerto Rico and Washington DC.
You're gonna have the end of the electoral college. You're
(12:03):
gonna have amnesty for illegal aliens, and god knows what
else these people are gonna conceive, probably socialized medicine. In
other words, basically, Trump is saying, either we end the
filibuster or they end the filibuster. If we end it,
at least we have a chance at cleaning up the
country's problems and keeping the Democrats at bay prevent them
(12:27):
from stealing future elections. If we wait, then we know
they're gonna end it, and then they're gonna steal elections forever.
What say you, Jim.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Exactly ended I said, do it, you know, from day one,
almost But I'm saying, we absolutely need to find a
way to deal with Collins and Murkowski and you know
Bryan Paul and of course McConnell's not long long on
the tooth, but you know, he's gone. He's gone in
a couple of years, I think. But that's enough to
(13:03):
really throw a wrench into everything unless we find a
way to deal with them.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Jim, do you have any suggestions on how to deal
with them?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, open their folders and auder them and you know,
give them, give them something to think about.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
In other words, Jim, do it the Chicago way. Jim,
thank you very much for that call. I appreciate it. No, look,
I mean that's the Achilles heel of the Republican Party
that it's the rhinos, there's no question. And Trump has
(13:42):
been complaining about this day one. He complained about it
his entire first term and ever since he got into office.
He's like, boy, they love to stab their own. They
they it's like they live to stab their own, these rhinos.
Derek in Brighton, Thanks for a hold, Derek, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Love your show.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Thank you, Derek.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
My question is is you were saying earlier, you know,
if you get rid of this nuclear option, this filmbuster,
you know, if Trump gets rid of it, he can
accomplish what he needs to accomplish in the short time
he has, which is a little wonder, I don't know,
(14:31):
thirty eight months to clean up voter id and do
all these other things. But if you get rid of
it and the Democrats get back in power and you
said eventually they will, aren't they going to do exactly
what you said they're going to do. They want to
(14:56):
make Puerto Rico and Washington the fifty first and fifty
at the state they want to and then they'll have
fifty four more US senators they have a permanent majority
to the Republicans fifty, so they can get rid of
the you know, electoral college and go by popular vote
(15:19):
and not give the other state to stay and who
they want to elect for president, you know, give the
legal aliens, make them citizens, you give them citizenship. How
is that going to help the Republicans? And Trump wants
to get rid of that nuclear option, isn't it going
to have the opposite effect?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well, I mean you're right in a sense. There is
a risk in the sense that now the Trump you know,
the Republicans will do it, then the Democrats when they
come back to power, will say, hey, look at us.
You Republicans made the new rules. It's no longer sixty
votes that's needed to pass these big pieces of legislation.
It's fifty plus one six one seven two six six
(16:06):
sixty eight. Sixty eight is the number. You can also
text us seven zero four seven zero seven zero four
seven zero. Okay. I want to go right back to
Derek in Brighton. Look, Derek makes a very very good point,
which is and I don't want to put words in
your mouth, Derek, but essentially your argument is, look, if
(16:27):
the Republicans blow up the filibuster, if they end the
filibuster as Trump is calling for, well the next time
the Democrats come to power, you've just laid the groundwork
for them to come in and do everything you're warning
they're going to do, which is all they need is
fifty votes plus one. Pact thee Supreme Court, abolish the
(16:50):
electoral college at Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, as states,
give amnesty to illegal aliens, a ram down socialized medicine,
national government, run healthcare down our throats, and instead of
needing sixty votes, which is what they needed in the past,
(17:10):
now all they need is fifty and the Vice President
as the tie breaking vote. So in a sense, you're
almost giving the Democrats the rope to hang the country
with by blowing up the filibuster. Now, you're right, it's
a risk. There's no question it's a risk, Derek, the
counter argument that Trump is making. And by the way,
(17:31):
just so that you know, I don't think it's going
to happen. I don't think the filibuster is going to end.
It's not going to be terminated. The Senate majority of
leader John Thune has said it's not going to happen
under his watch. He says he will defend the right
of the filibuster to the end. There are other Republicans
who say, no, absolutely not. We are not going to
(17:53):
blow up the filibuster. So right now, the Republicans don't
have the votes to do it. They don't have fifty
one votes to do it. So this whole conversation technically
could be moot. But Trump's counter argument is this, when
the last time the Democrats are in control of the Senate,
(18:15):
they actually voted on a bill that would end the filibuster,
the so called invoke the nuclear option. They would have
passed it except that two Democrats voted against it. It
was Joe Manchin, a moderate from West Virginia, and Kirsten Cinema,
another moderate from Arizona. Otherwise the Democrats would have ended
(18:40):
the filibuster. Mansion and Cinema are now gone, and so
they're gonna have the votes to end the filibuster the
next time. Furthermore, Bernie Elizabeth Warren Schumer in private AOC
(19:00):
the congressional Democrats have now they're telling their supporters the
filibuster's coming down. These idiot Republicans they may hang on
to it, and we're going to use it to block
Trump as best as we can. But the moment we
get pack power, we're gonna end the filibuster. In fact,
they say it's the first thing they're gonna do. So
(19:23):
Trump's argument is it's going down, it's going down, it's dead.
Let's get in front of it. We can be the
ones who can be proactive and end the filibuster. And
the key is to clean up the elections. And you
know it's not just voter id which is important. They
(19:46):
want to end mail in balloting. You get rid of
mail in balloting, plus ending all welfare, healthcare, federal benefits
to illegals, says, I don't see how the Democrats win
an election in the near future. So if we end
voter fraud, how do the Democrats win? So Trump's argument
(20:10):
is for the survival a of the Republican Party, but
more importantly, for the survival of the country. We have
to end the filibuster. It's gonna go no matter what.
Better us than them. Now Thune's argument, just so that
you know there was a counter argument to Trump's counter argument.
Thune says, well, then let the Democrats do it. I
(20:34):
don't want the Republicans to be stained with this. In
other words, let if they're gonna go and vote the
nuclear option, let it be on the Democrats's hands, not
our hands. And Trump just Thinkstune is being naive. Well, okay,
I mean they can, you know, they can have their
hands dirty, but in the end they're gonna ram everything
(20:58):
down our throats and it'll then be too late to
stop them. So that's where we are right now. Derek,
final word to you, go So.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
It's a damn that you do and damn don't think
I guess right, Jeff.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I mean that's what it is. Uh, it's political war.
I mean, Derek, what you're seeing now this is a
political civil war and now they're taking casualties. That's that's
what it is. No no more bipartisanship, no more room
(21:34):
for independence, no more room for good faith and you know,
checks and balances and the system that we used to have.
Now it's survival of the fittest, who wins our side
their side, That's what it's now come down to. It's
it's political trench warfare.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Uh what about the midterms, Jeff. That Look for the
Republicans in the midterms, I mean, do you think they
have a good chance Now, Well, if.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
The economy picks up, I think they're gonna hold on
to the House. And I got to say, look what
changed for me, derekuse I. I was in the filibuster camp.
I always said, you got to have the filibuster. It's
the ultimate check in balance, especially on socialism on the Democrats.
(22:27):
But when I saw that they elected Mam Donnie and
what you know, and I saw how radical and revolutionary
they've now become. And Mam Donnie right away said, we're
getting rid of that filibuster. Oh, we're getting rid of
you know, we're going to pack the Supreme Court, We're gonna. No, no,
we're gonna, We're gonna end America as we've known it.
(22:50):
When I saw how extreme and radical the Democrats have become,
I said, no, you've got to You've got to get
rid of the filibuster. You gotta do it now. You
have about a year to save the country. Because what
scares me is this. Derek Mamdani won the foreign vote
(23:11):
in New York and in fact, I had no idea
under Biden, listen to this, he imported just in New
York City alone, one million Muslims, just in four years,
one million Muslims. There are now almost as many. Remember
(23:32):
New York City. Historically, the saying was, there are more
Jews in New York City than any other city in
the world except Tel Aviv, even more than in Jerusalem,
even more than name your other Israeli city. So it
was always known to have a very strong Jewish population.
In four years, Biden now is essentially brought in almost
(23:55):
as many Muslims as there are Jews now. Point being
a lot of these foreign born voters, many of them illegals,
many of them non citizens, voted for Mamdani. There's no question,
no question that you have a lot of these illegals
(24:18):
who were brought in by Biden. Because there's no voter
ID laws, they can use mail in balloting, they can
use ballot harvesting, ballot trafficking. This is what's propping up
the Democratic Party. If there's an honest election, I don't
think the Democrats can win. So Trump's argument is, let's
(24:42):
end the filibuster, pass election integrity laws. In other words,
end voter fraud, end it, ban it, make it illegal,
and he goes the Democrats won't take back anything, and
in fact, it will be hard for them to win
an election for a generation to come. So he's basically saying,
(25:03):
look who's going to strike here. He's not using this analogy,
but basically, if you sat down with him, let's say
in a living room, so you would say, you're basically saying,
we're dealing with Hitler. Don't make a deal with Hitler.
You can't trust anything. This guy signs he's determined to
go to war. You're saying, hit him before he hits us.
(25:26):
In other words, the Democrats are determined to blow up
the filibuster. They're gonna go to war. So either we
hit them before they hit us, or else They're gonna
hit us and we'll never get a chance to hit
him back. And that's basically Trump's thinking. So there you
have it, my honest opinion, Derek. I think if they
(25:49):
end a filibuster, especially if the economy comes back, the
Republicans are not just gonna hold the House. I think
they're gonna gain a lot, maybe another fifteen twenty seats
in the House. They're going to expand in the Senate.
And I think Trump is going to have the most
spectacular successful presidency in the history of the United States.
But if this continues the way it's been, where it's
(26:12):
shut down after shutdown, resistance after resistance, you know, as
Trump said, it's a slog. It's a tough slog. It's
constant obstruction, constant paralysis, constant blocking and and and you know,
and freezing and and and keeping the Republicans unable to
(26:35):
do anything. Then who knows. With the way they reg elections,
you know, you look at Mamdani. I mean, hell, they
stole it from Cuomo. I mean right underneath his nose.
They went to the establishment Democrats and they stole an
election from the Democrats, you know, the more old guard.
(26:59):
I'm i mean, these people are out of control. So
you know, you look at California, you look at Oregon,
you look at Illinois, you look at Chicago, you look
at Philadelphia, you look at New York. Frankly, you look
at Boston. Elections are very dirty, very dirty, a lot
of electoral corruption. So I've always said this, to survive
(27:23):
as a country, we have to have clean elections. If
we don't, it's over. It's over. Derek, thank you very
much for that call. Six one seven two six six
sixty eight sixty eight is the number again, agree, disagree? U. Now,
(27:43):
I just want to read to you what Trump said. Okay,
he did a back and forth and so and then
with reporters, and the reporters were saying, well, why are
you really pushing now Republicans to end the filibuster? And look,
this is what he said. I'm just going to paraphrase
(28:04):
because he gave a long answer. He said, look, yeah,
for a long time, he goes, I was in favor
of the filibuster. He goes, of course I was. But
he says, the Democrats today are not the Democrats of yesterday.
These are crazy lunatics that we're doing it, that we're
dealing with and he goes, quote most of you will admit,
(28:26):
talking out of the press corps, that the Democrats are
going to end the filibuster, So why aren't we doing it?
And I think only a foolish person would be against that,
meaning Thune, especially when you realize that these are crazed people.
These people are absolutely crazy Trump derangement syndrome. And I
(28:50):
am totally in favor of terminating the filibuster and so
and then they say, well, but that would be you,
that wouldn't be the Democrats. Then the Democrats could do
anything they want, and you guys would be the ones
who handed them the key to the kingdom. And he said, look,
we have to end the filibuster. And then look what
(29:13):
we can pass. And I'm just quoting now directly, voter
id laws, no more mail in voting, no more cash bail.
In other words, ending no cash bail crime. It would
improve crime significantly. I mean they would improve fighting crime significantly.
(29:35):
Ending no cash bail, no men in women in sports,
no welfare for illegals. You could go on and on,
he goes, I could give you two pages worth, he goes,
but we can't pass anything because you can't deal with
these Democrats. They're really irrational, they really are. So his
(29:57):
argument is, yeah, yeah, sure, if you add an honest
Democratic party and an honest Republican party traditional parties, of
course you keep the filibuster. But when your enemy is
telling you that they're going to invoke the nuclear option
and end the filibuster, terminate it, and then destroy the
(30:20):
United States of America as we know it, then, according
to Trump, you're crazy. It's almost a form of unilateral surrender.
So we should end the filibuster and make sure the
Democrats can never steal another election again. And this way
the country has a chance. Agree, disagree. Dave in Vermont,
(30:47):
Thanks for holding Dave, and welcome bonjeour. How are you,
my French friend?
Speaker 6 (30:58):
Oh good good. I'd been taking I've had a vision
listening to about Chuck maybe losing his position and everything.
A vision came to my mind. I can see it now.
Chucky's cheeseburgers, world famous, with dogs, wild animals and gastro
intestinal doctors everywhere.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Dave, I got to ask you, my friend, are you
shocked that the Democrats have completely capitulated and that Trump
just I mean he whipped them. I mean he broke them.
You know, forty days of all of this they put
the country through, and in the end there was all
for nothing. They got nothing, and it was all for nothing.
(31:47):
In other words, were you surprised that the Republicans finally
held the line.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Yeah, I'm a little bit surprised at that. But the
Democrats did get something. They got a hell of a
stain on their name right now, and that's I think,
if we can I didn't want to get rid of
the filibuster before, but now I changed my mind. I
think if we can do that, get rid of the filibuster,
clean the garbage out of Congress for one thing, and
the garbage out out of the goat government. The more
(32:16):
the better. And there are a lot of people in
this country that would agree with that, and Democrats and
Independence alike would agree with a lot of Democrats and
Independence alike would probably agree with getting rid of the
garbage and having things run smoother. But if we could
do that and concentrate on getting the economy back in
shape where people make it a lot more affordable for
(32:37):
people to own a home, have help, put some gasoline
in your car and fill your fridge again, I think
you're going to change the minds of a lot of
people if the country can get run smooth again, get
rid of the voted crap, the idea voter ID, get
that in place, get rid of the mailing stuff so
we can get the clean voter rolls. We'll be appeasing
(32:59):
the American public, the American citizens, and not the aliens
and imported people. That's my view.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Dave Obama now is in private, apparently going berserk. Reports
are coming out that he is furious. He's furious at
the Democrats who defected. He's furious at Schumer. He thought
Schumer was a horrible leader, that he led them to
disaster in the showdown with Trump, and that now he's
(33:30):
petrified that Trump. And these are now almost verbatim now
apparently what Obama is saying behind closed doors that Trump
is going to quote unquote undo everything that I've done.
And the centerpiece, his crown jewel is Obamacare. And I
think now the Democrats really sense the pressure on Obamacare
(33:54):
that if you take away all of these hundreds of
billions of dollars, these corrol up subsidies, that Obamacare will
now crash, collapse under its own weight. That clearly they
lie to us. Everything they said it was going to do,
it didn't do, and that Trump now is ready to
replace it with a real viable alternative. If Obamacare goes
(34:19):
down in flames, is Trump in many ways now undoing
Obama's legacy? Will he be known in some ways as
the anti Obama? I'm just curious. Should Obama be worried?
I guess that's what I'm asking you.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
I would say, yeah, Obama should be worried. There's a
lot of garbage and a lot of dirt that's gonna
that's gonna be undug and I think, yeah, I think
things things are going to fall apart for them pretty
pretty quickly. And the thing is, we've got to make
sure we hold the offices of both the House and
the Senate. We've got to hold that because if we
(34:56):
lose that, we're on the way down. We won't regain
it again, because we won't be able to get things
passed yet we want to get passed. We won't be
able to advance the agenda that should be advanced for
the benefit of the American citizens and not the aliens
and illegals.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Dave, thank you very very much for that call. I
really appreciate it. I think that's another thing now that's
really you know, you put it. They've got you know,
they've been stained by this right, and you're right, the Democrats.
There's a massive stain on them, moral staying, political stain.
And one of the things is I think people are shocked,
(35:36):
and just compare it to Obamacare. They're shocked that Democrats
are fighting to give hundreds of billions of dollars in
taxpayer funded quote unquote free healthcare to illegals. But if
you notice, under Obamacare, if you don't want Obamacare, if
you say no, I just I won't take health and
(35:58):
I don't want to I don't want to take health
insurance coverage, you get fined. So an American citizen will
get fined if that person doesn't want Obamacare. But they're
gonna give health care free to illegals. So US citizens,
we find you illegals, you get it free. And notice
(36:24):
you don't get Obamacare for free. In fact, nobody gets
their health care for free. We'll say, well, Jeff, I'm
on Medicare. No, even then, you had to pay into Medicare.
And if you want extra things in Medicare, you got
to pay for that as well as many of you know.
So notice the only group in the entire population that
the Democrats really want to give quote unquote free healthcare too,
(36:49):
are illegals. Everything is for the illegals, everything, And the
American people now are saying, why is that? And now
it's all like a light bulb, it's all all. They're
an anti American party. They have no loyalty, no allegiance
(37:13):
to the United States. All they care about is stealing elections.
It's obvious. Keep the illegals here, don't allow them to
be deported, and give them all the welfare and freebies
you can give them, because then they will keep voting
for you again and again and again. And Trump is
(37:37):
saying no more, no more. Pass laws that end all
welfare benefits to illegals, ban it completely, ban it, put
up voter id laws across the entire country, and mail
in balloting and ballid harvesting make it impossible for illegals
(37:58):
to be able to vote. He goes, who's going to
vote for the Democrats. They're a minority party. And by
the way, one of the things he also wants, and
he's right, pass a law in which in the US
census Only citizens can be counted, not total population, meaning
(38:19):
not illegals. But what do you think is going to
happen if that happens, if you just count citizens in
the census.
Six seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is
the number. Okay, everything is on the table this morning.
Chuck Schumer now livid eight Democrats to be technical, seven Democrats,
one independent Senator Angus King from Maine who caucuses with
the Democrats, so eight in total have now bolted. They
(00:22):
have defected, and they voted with the Republicans late last
night until early this morning to end the filibuster, effectively
ending the shutdown. It will take a few more days
for the government to technically reopen, but in essence, now
the shutdown is over. They will pass a continuing resolution
(00:45):
that will fund the entire government until January thirty first
of next year. And they're going to pass it looks
like what are called a minibus, not an omnibus, but
a minibus, three funding bills that will pay the military
and military construction and veterans affairs to the legislative branch.
(01:09):
So all these staffers and aids, all these people in Congress, yep,
they're going to take care of their own people. They're
all going to get paid all of next year. And
the United States Department of Agriculture, why because that's where
the food stamps come from. That's the snap comes from
the USDA, So snap Wick. All of these programs will
(01:32):
be fully funded until October of next year. That's the
fiscal year. It's October first in Congress. That's how they
do the fiscal year October to October, so it will
all these three will be funded all the way until
October of next year. No extensions on the Obamacare subsidies. Nothing,
(01:55):
No free health care for illegals. Nothing, No circum decisions
as I said in Zambia, or gay rights in the
Baltic States, or transgender surgeries in Serbia. No massive liberal
media bailout. They wanted twelve billion for failing liberal outlets
(02:16):
that are losing money like NPR, PBS and others. Nothing,
NATA zero. The only thing they got was that John
Thune will give them a vote just to vote on
extending the ACA subsidies the Affordable Care Act sometime before
(02:37):
the second week of December. But the Republicans say they
will not vote for it, meaning it's going to go down.
So in essence, the Democrats held the American people hostage.
They shut the government down for forty days. They imposed
immense pain, suffering, and misery upon the entire country, and
(03:03):
in the end it was all for nothing. They got nothing,
and the result was a complete and utter failure and
a complete and utter defeat. Dan in Plymouth, Thanks for
holding Dan, and welcome.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Hey Jeff, I'm going to throw another log on the bio. Yes,
may disagree or disagree, but I totally agree with you.
This is a total capitulation by the Democrats to President Trump.
But what remains is the high price and cost of
private health insurance. You see it, I'm sure you see
it in your pay stub. I pay over four hundred
(03:44):
dollars every two weeks for two adults and a young buck,
my son who just graduated college, and it's in You
have co pays, You've got detuctables. The only thing I
get for free is a is a colonoscopy. Ironically enough, so,
I think what President than Trump must do is, in
my opinion, get the risk pool of health insurance. The
(04:07):
OLDU are the high the risks. Perhaps expand medicare to
the generation that elected him. It was our generation, Jeff,
generation X that elected Trump in twenty twenty four, expanded
to probably fifty five years of age. Get that risk
(04:27):
pool out of the private health insurance. And I think
that would cement his legacy and perhaps stop the Democrats
in taking over next year.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Wow do you think of that? I didn't even think
of that. That is very very interesting. Dan. Let me
ask you this, what do you think of Trump's proposal?
It's actually Senator from Louisiana, Bill Cassidy, who's a physician
or whatever, was a physician. This is really ultimately his
original idea. He's the brainchild of it. But Trump loves it.
(05:00):
He's jumped all over it, and there are even some
Democrats now who say, you know what, I may be
willing to take a look at this, which is the
three hundred billion dollars, which is an unbelievable amount of
money that Obamacare is shoveling to these big insurance companies
to keep these premiums, you know, relatively reasonable that Trump
(05:23):
is saying. It's a massive payoff. They're stealing a lot
of the money. It's providing garbage healthcare. It's the most
inefficient way to fund the healthcare system ever, he says,
cut out the middleman completely, take the three hundred billion,
and literally give people who are on Obamacare a check,
(05:44):
a direct check right to their health savings. Account and
it's going to be you know, thousands, thousands and thousands
and thousands of dollars and you get the healthcare plan
that's best for you and your family.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
What say you, Jeff, I thought of that. I'd like
anything that mixes up changes the system. My only fear
is that people that get that money, and you've got
to trust people. I understand that they may not use
those funds for healthcare. And then you and I, the
responsible ones, are going to be flipping the bill, paying
(06:19):
the bill when we go to the hospital because our
insurance is going to be paying for their non coverage.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That's another good point. Yeah, they know they would have
to provide safeguards that the money can only be used,
you know, for healthcare. Or six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay. I
know we've talked about it a little bit in the
last hour and it's not technically the pole question of
the day. The pole question is about Chuck Schumer and
(06:49):
do you think he's now going to retire and basically
to avoid a primary and a crushing defeat by AOC
Alexandria Fidel Castro Cortes, or do you think he's going
to try and run for reelection and good luck. But
we did a poll question a couple weeks ago on
the filibuster and should we end the filibuster? And most
(07:14):
of you in this great audience, and like me at
the time, said no, we shouldn't end it. Why well,
you know we're gonna need it when the Democrats come
back to power one day after Tuesday's election. After now
what we've seen the Democrats, what they're capable of, what
they truly want to do after this punishing forty days shutdown?
(07:38):
Is Trump right? Is it time to terminate the filibuster?
And so I want to ask all of you in
Kooner Country whether you're you know, keeping your fore keeping
the filibuster or you're for nuking the filibuster. I want
to hear from you. Tell me why you believe we
should either keep it or kill it. Two sixty six
(08:02):
sixty eight sixty eight is the number you can also
text the Kooner Man seven zero four seven zero seven
zero four to seven zero. This is from six one
seven Jeff. There is no question the Democrats caved on
the shutdown, and this is a big victory for President
(08:25):
Trump and a crushing defeat for Chuck Schumer. But the
question I have, Jeff is a simple one. The Dems
could have done this deal thirty five days ago. In
other words, this was purely political. They hurt people for
(08:46):
nothing other than politics. I can't disagree. You're completely right.
In fact, you're a thousand, not one hundred. You're a
thousand percent correct. That's the question the country's going to
be asking this deal could have been done? What thirty
five days You could have done this deal forty days ago.
It's a forty day shutdown. You could have done this
(09:08):
deal forty days ago, thirty nine days ago. So in
the end, this was all political. So you put us
through this suffering and misery for nothing, for cheap politics,
to pander to the radical left wing base of your party.
(09:30):
Ay ya yai, seriously, a ya yai, Jim in the
state of Illinois. Thanks for holding, Jim, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, go ahead, you just I just wanted to say
go ahead. I mean in the filibuster by all means.
But we have to realize the power that we would
be giving to the rhinos.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You're saying if we end the filibuster with our.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Thin margin of you know the number of votes that
we have. It would take just a handful of rhinos
to do what rhinos do.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You know, well, Jim, look, that's an excellent point. Let
me just let me ask you this. But they already
do what they do write in other words, like they
already sabotage us. At least I'm just saying from just
as Trump's argument, and you tell me what you say,
(10:37):
at least now we don't have to reach sixty. We
don't give that power to the Democrats. So yeah, we've
got to still deal with these treacherous Judas rhinos. Jim
and Illinois. You're right, But at least now, if I
want to get something done, I just need fifty plus one.
I don't need sixty. And on fifty plus one, Trump
(10:59):
thinks I can get you the voter ID national law.
We can end mail in balloting. We can end, as
he put it, finally, end men in women's sports and
women locker rooms. He ran down the whole list. We
can clean up our elections. We can really start doing
(11:20):
mass deportations with almost no resistance from judges. We can
have you know, legislation backed by Congress. In other words,
he says, we can fix all of the problems in
the country and enact a Maga agenda and clean up
our corrupt elections and end voter fraud, because if we don't,
(11:42):
the Democrats will come back, and then, Jim, they will
end that filibuster, and unlike the Rhinos, they are thickest thieves,
and before you know it, the Supreme Court will be packed. Jim,
You're gonna have new states like Puerto Rico and Washington DC.
You're gonna have the end of the electoral college. You're
(12:03):
gonna have amnesty for illegal aliens, and god knows what
else these people are gonna conceive, probably socialized medicine. In
other words, basically, Trump is saying, either we end the
filibuster or they end the filibuster. If we end it,
at least we have a chance at cleaning up the
country's problems and keeping the Democrats at bay prevent them
(12:27):
from stealing future elections. If we wait, then we know
they're gonna end it, and then they're gonna steal elections forever.
What say you, Jim.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Exactly ended I said, do it, you know, from day one,
almost But I'm saying, we absolutely need to find a
way to deal with Collins and Murkowski and you know
Bryan Paul and of course McConnell's not long long on
the tooth, but you know, he's gone. He's gone in
a couple of years, I think. But that's enough to
(13:03):
really throw a wrench into everything unless we find a
way to deal with them.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Jim, do you have any suggestions on how to deal
with them?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, open their folders and auder them and you know,
give them, give them something to think about.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
In other words, Jim, do it the Chicago way. Jim,
thank you very much for that call. I appreciate it. No, look,
I mean that's the Achilles heel of the Republican Party
that it's the rhinos, there's no question. And Trump has
(13:42):
been complaining about this day one. He complained about it
his entire first term and ever since he got into office.
He's like, boy, they love to stab their own. They
they it's like they live to stab their own, these rhinos.
Derek in Brighton, Thanks for a hold, Derek, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Love your show.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Thank you, Derek.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
My question is is you were saying earlier, you know,
if you get rid of this nuclear option, this filmbuster,
you know, if Trump gets rid of it, he can
accomplish what he needs to accomplish in the short time
he has, which is a little wonder, I don't know,
(14:31):
thirty eight months to clean up voter id and do
all these other things. But if you get rid of
it and the Democrats get back in power and you
said eventually they will, aren't they going to do exactly
what you said they're going to do. They want to
(14:56):
make Puerto Rico and Washington the fifty first and fifty
at the state they want to and then they'll have
fifty four more US senators they have a permanent majority
to the Republicans fifty, so they can get rid of
the you know, electoral college and go by popular vote
(15:19):
and not give the other state to stay and who
they want to elect for president, you know, give the
legal aliens, make them citizens, you give them citizenship. How
is that going to help the Republicans? And Trump wants
to get rid of that nuclear option, isn't it going
to have the opposite effect?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well, I mean you're right in a sense. There is
a risk in the sense that now the Trump you know,
the Republicans will do it, then the Democrats when they
come back to power, will say, hey, look at us.
You Republicans made the new rules. It's no longer sixty
votes that's needed to pass these big pieces of legislation.
It's fifty plus one six one seven two six six
(16:06):
sixty eight. Sixty eight is the number. You can also
text us seven zero four seven zero seven zero four
seven zero. Okay. I want to go right back to
Derek in Brighton. Look, Derek makes a very very good point,
which is and I don't want to put words in
your mouth, Derek, but essentially your argument is, look, if
(16:27):
the Republicans blow up the filibuster, if they end the
filibuster as Trump is calling for, well the next time
the Democrats come to power, you've just laid the groundwork
for them to come in and do everything you're warning
they're going to do, which is all they need is
fifty votes plus one. Pact thee Supreme Court, abolish the
(16:50):
electoral college at Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, as states,
give amnesty to illegal aliens, a ram down socialized medicine,
national government, run healthcare down our throats, and instead of
needing sixty votes, which is what they needed in the past,
(17:10):
now all they need is fifty and the Vice President
as the tie breaking vote. So in a sense, you're
almost giving the Democrats the rope to hang the country
with by blowing up the filibuster. Now, you're right, it's
a risk. There's no question it's a risk, Derek, the
counter argument that Trump is making. And by the way,
(17:31):
just so that you know, I don't think it's going
to happen. I don't think the filibuster is going to end.
It's not going to be terminated. The Senate majority of
leader John Thune has said it's not going to happen
under his watch. He says he will defend the right
of the filibuster to the end. There are other Republicans
who say, no, absolutely not. We are not going to
(17:53):
blow up the filibuster. So right now, the Republicans don't
have the votes to do it. They don't have fifty
one votes to do it. So this whole conversation technically
could be moot. But Trump's counter argument is this, when
the last time the Democrats are in control of the Senate,
(18:15):
they actually voted on a bill that would end the filibuster,
the so called invoke the nuclear option. They would have
passed it except that two Democrats voted against it. It
was Joe Manchin, a moderate from West Virginia, and Kirsten Cinema,
another moderate from Arizona. Otherwise the Democrats would have ended
(18:40):
the filibuster. Mansion and Cinema are now gone, and so
they're gonna have the votes to end the filibuster the
next time. Furthermore, Bernie Elizabeth Warren Schumer in private AOC
(19:00):
the congressional Democrats have now they're telling their supporters the
filibuster's coming down. These idiot Republicans they may hang on
to it, and we're going to use it to block
Trump as best as we can. But the moment we
get pack power, we're gonna end the filibuster. In fact,
they say it's the first thing they're gonna do. So
(19:23):
Trump's argument is it's going down, it's going down, it's dead.
Let's get in front of it. We can be the
ones who can be proactive and end the filibuster. And
the key is to clean up the elections. And you
know it's not just voter id which is important. They
(19:46):
want to end mail in balloting. You get rid of
mail in balloting, plus ending all welfare, healthcare, federal benefits
to illegals, says, I don't see how the Democrats win
an election in the near future. So if we end
voter fraud, how do the Democrats win? So Trump's argument
(20:10):
is for the survival a of the Republican Party, but
more importantly, for the survival of the country. We have
to end the filibuster. It's gonna go no matter what.
Better us than them. Now Thune's argument, just so that
you know there was a counter argument to Trump's counter argument.
Thune says, well, then let the Democrats do it. I
(20:34):
don't want the Republicans to be stained with this. In
other words, let if they're gonna go and vote the
nuclear option, let it be on the Democrats's hands, not
our hands. And Trump just Thinkstune is being naive. Well, okay,
I mean they can, you know, they can have their
hands dirty, but in the end they're gonna ram everything
(20:58):
down our throats and it'll then be too late to
stop them. So that's where we are right now. Derek,
final word to you, go So.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
It's a damn that you do and damn don't think
I guess right, Jeff.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I mean that's what it is. Uh, it's political war.
I mean, Derek, what you're seeing now this is a
political civil war and now they're taking casualties. That's that's
what it is. No no more bipartisanship, no more room
(21:34):
for independence, no more room for good faith and you know,
checks and balances and the system that we used to have.
Now it's survival of the fittest, who wins our side
their side, That's what it's now come down to. It's
it's political trench warfare.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Uh what about the midterms, Jeff. That Look for the
Republicans in the midterms, I mean, do you think they
have a good chance Now, Well, if.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
The economy picks up, I think they're gonna hold on
to the House. And I got to say, look what
changed for me, derekuse I. I was in the filibuster camp.
I always said, you got to have the filibuster. It's
the ultimate check in balance, especially on socialism on the Democrats.
(22:27):
But when I saw that they elected Mam Donnie and
what you know, and I saw how radical and revolutionary
they've now become. And Mam Donnie right away said, we're
getting rid of that filibuster. Oh, we're getting rid of
you know, we're going to pack the Supreme Court, We're gonna. No, no,
we're gonna, We're gonna end America as we've known it.
(22:50):
When I saw how extreme and radical the Democrats have become,
I said, no, you've got to You've got to get
rid of the filibuster. You gotta do it now. You
have about a year to save the country. Because what
scares me is this. Derek Mamdani won the foreign vote
(23:11):
in New York and in fact, I had no idea
under Biden, listen to this, he imported just in New
York City alone, one million Muslims, just in four years,
one million Muslims. There are now almost as many. Remember
(23:32):
New York City. Historically, the saying was, there are more
Jews in New York City than any other city in
the world except Tel Aviv, even more than in Jerusalem,
even more than name your other Israeli city. So it
was always known to have a very strong Jewish population.
In four years, Biden now is essentially brought in almost
(23:55):
as many Muslims as there are Jews now. Point being
a lot of these foreign born voters, many of them illegals,
many of them non citizens, voted for Mamdani. There's no question,
no question that you have a lot of these illegals
(24:18):
who were brought in by Biden. Because there's no voter
ID laws, they can use mail in balloting, they can
use ballot harvesting, ballot trafficking. This is what's propping up
the Democratic Party. If there's an honest election, I don't
think the Democrats can win. So Trump's argument is, let's
(24:42):
end the filibuster, pass election integrity laws. In other words,
end voter fraud, end it, ban it, make it illegal,
and he goes the Democrats won't take back anything, and
in fact, it will be hard for them to win
an election for a generation to come. So he's basically saying,
(25:03):
look who's going to strike here. He's not using this analogy,
but basically, if you sat down with him, let's say
in a living room, so you would say, you're basically saying,
we're dealing with Hitler. Don't make a deal with Hitler.
You can't trust anything. This guy signs he's determined to
go to war. You're saying, hit him before he hits us.
(25:26):
In other words, the Democrats are determined to blow up
the filibuster. They're gonna go to war. So either we
hit them before they hit us, or else They're gonna
hit us and we'll never get a chance to hit
him back. And that's basically Trump's thinking. So there you
have it, my honest opinion, Derek. I think if they
(25:49):
end a filibuster, especially if the economy comes back, the
Republicans are not just gonna hold the House. I think
they're gonna gain a lot, maybe another fifteen twenty seats
in the House. They're going to expand in the Senate.
And I think Trump is going to have the most
spectacular successful presidency in the history of the United States.
But if this continues the way it's been, where it's
(26:12):
shut down after shutdown, resistance after resistance, you know, as
Trump said, it's a slog. It's a tough slog. It's
constant obstruction, constant paralysis, constant blocking and and and you know,
and freezing and and and keeping the Republicans unable to
(26:35):
do anything. Then who knows. With the way they reg elections,
you know, you look at Mamdani. I mean, hell, they
stole it from Cuomo. I mean right underneath his nose.
They went to the establishment Democrats and they stole an
election from the Democrats, you know, the more old guard.
(26:59):
I'm i mean, these people are out of control. So
you know, you look at California, you look at Oregon,
you look at Illinois, you look at Chicago, you look
at Philadelphia, you look at New York. Frankly, you look
at Boston. Elections are very dirty, very dirty, a lot
of electoral corruption. So I've always said this, to survive
(27:23):
as a country, we have to have clean elections. If
we don't, it's over. It's over. Derek, thank you very
much for that call. Six one seven two six six
sixty eight sixty eight is the number again, agree, disagree? U. Now,
(27:43):
I just want to read to you what Trump said. Okay,
he did a back and forth and so and then
with reporters, and the reporters were saying, well, why are
you really pushing now Republicans to end the filibuster? And look,
this is what he said. I'm just going to paraphrase
(28:04):
because he gave a long answer. He said, look, yeah,
for a long time, he goes, I was in favor
of the filibuster. He goes, of course I was. But
he says, the Democrats today are not the Democrats of yesterday.
These are crazy lunatics that we're doing it, that we're
dealing with and he goes, quote most of you will admit,
(28:26):
talking out of the press corps, that the Democrats are
going to end the filibuster, So why aren't we doing it?
And I think only a foolish person would be against that,
meaning Thune, especially when you realize that these are crazed people.
These people are absolutely crazy Trump derangement syndrome. And I
(28:50):
am totally in favor of terminating the filibuster and so
and then they say, well, but that would be you,
that wouldn't be the Democrats. Then the Democrats could do
anything they want, and you guys would be the ones
who handed them the key to the kingdom. And he said, look,
we have to end the filibuster. And then look what
(29:13):
we can pass. And I'm just quoting now directly, voter
id laws, no more mail in voting, no more cash bail.
In other words, ending no cash bail crime. It would
improve crime significantly. I mean they would improve fighting crime significantly.
(29:35):
Ending no cash bail, no men in women in sports,
no welfare for illegals. You could go on and on,
he goes, I could give you two pages worth, he goes,
but we can't pass anything because you can't deal with
these Democrats. They're really irrational, they really are. So his
(29:57):
argument is, yeah, yeah, sure, if you add an honest
Democratic party and an honest Republican party traditional parties, of
course you keep the filibuster. But when your enemy is
telling you that they're going to invoke the nuclear option
and end the filibuster, terminate it, and then destroy the
(30:20):
United States of America as we know it, then, according
to Trump, you're crazy. It's almost a form of unilateral surrender.
So we should end the filibuster and make sure the
Democrats can never steal another election again. And this way
the country has a chance. Agree, disagree. Dave in Vermont,
(30:47):
Thanks for holding Dave, and welcome bonjeour. How are you,
my French friend?
Speaker 6 (30:58):
Oh good good. I'd been taking I've had a vision
listening to about Chuck maybe losing his position and everything.
A vision came to my mind. I can see it now.
Chucky's cheeseburgers, world famous, with dogs, wild animals and gastro
intestinal doctors everywhere.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Dave, I got to ask you, my friend, are you
shocked that the Democrats have completely capitulated and that Trump
just I mean he whipped them. I mean he broke them.
You know, forty days of all of this they put
the country through, and in the end there was all
for nothing. They got nothing, and it was all for nothing.
(31:47):
In other words, were you surprised that the Republicans finally
held the line.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Yeah, I'm a little bit surprised at that. But the
Democrats did get something. They got a hell of a
stain on their name right now, and that's I think,
if we can I didn't want to get rid of
the filibuster before, but now I changed my mind. I
think if we can do that, get rid of the filibuster,
clean the garbage out of Congress for one thing, and
the garbage out out of the goat government. The more
(32:16):
the better. And there are a lot of people in
this country that would agree with that, and Democrats and
Independence alike would agree with a lot of Democrats and
Independence alike would probably agree with getting rid of the
garbage and having things run smoother. But if we could
do that and concentrate on getting the economy back in
shape where people make it a lot more affordable for
(32:37):
people to own a home, have help, put some gasoline
in your car and fill your fridge again, I think
you're going to change the minds of a lot of
people if the country can get run smooth again, get
rid of the voted crap, the idea voter ID, get
that in place, get rid of the mailing stuff so
we can get the clean voter rolls. We'll be appeasing
(32:59):
the American public, the American citizens, and not the aliens
and imported people. That's my view.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Dave Obama now is in private, apparently going berserk. Reports
are coming out that he is furious. He's furious at
the Democrats who defected. He's furious at Schumer. He thought
Schumer was a horrible leader, that he led them to
disaster in the showdown with Trump, and that now he's
(33:30):
petrified that Trump. And these are now almost verbatim now
apparently what Obama is saying behind closed doors that Trump
is going to quote unquote undo everything that I've done.
And the centerpiece, his crown jewel is Obamacare. And I
think now the Democrats really sense the pressure on Obamacare
(33:54):
that if you take away all of these hundreds of
billions of dollars, these corrol up subsidies, that Obamacare will
now crash, collapse under its own weight. That clearly they
lie to us. Everything they said it was going to do,
it didn't do, and that Trump now is ready to
replace it with a real viable alternative. If Obamacare goes
(34:19):
down in flames, is Trump in many ways now undoing
Obama's legacy? Will he be known in some ways as
the anti Obama? I'm just curious. Should Obama be worried?
I guess that's what I'm asking you.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
I would say, yeah, Obama should be worried. There's a
lot of garbage and a lot of dirt that's gonna
that's gonna be undug and I think, yeah, I think
things things are going to fall apart for them pretty
pretty quickly. And the thing is, we've got to make
sure we hold the offices of both the House and
the Senate. We've got to hold that because if we
(34:56):
lose that, we're on the way down. We won't regain
it again, because we won't be able to get things
passed yet we want to get passed. We won't be
able to advance the agenda that should be advanced for
the benefit of the American citizens and not the aliens
and illegals.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Dave, thank you very very much for that call. I
really appreciate it. I think that's another thing now that's
really you know, you put it. They've got you know,
they've been stained by this right, and you're right, the Democrats.
There's a massive stain on them, moral staying, political stain.
And one of the things is I think people are shocked,
(35:36):
and just compare it to Obamacare. They're shocked that Democrats
are fighting to give hundreds of billions of dollars in
taxpayer funded quote unquote free healthcare to illegals. But if
you notice, under Obamacare, if you don't want Obamacare, if
you say no, I just I won't take health and
(35:58):
I don't want to I don't want to take health
insurance coverage, you get fined. So an American citizen will
get fined if that person doesn't want Obamacare. But they're
gonna give health care free to illegals. So US citizens,
we find you illegals, you get it free. And notice
(36:24):
you don't get Obamacare for free. In fact, nobody gets
their health care for free. We'll say, well, Jeff, I'm
on Medicare. No, even then, you had to pay into Medicare.
And if you want extra things in Medicare, you got
to pay for that as well as many of you know.
So notice the only group in the entire population that
the Democrats really want to give quote unquote free healthcare too,
(36:49):
are illegals. Everything is for the illegals, everything, And the
American people now are saying, why is that? And now
it's all like a light bulb, it's all all. They're
an anti American party. They have no loyalty, no allegiance
(37:13):
to the United States. All they care about is stealing elections.
It's obvious. Keep the illegals here, don't allow them to
be deported, and give them all the welfare and freebies
you can give them, because then they will keep voting
for you again and again and again. And Trump is
(37:37):
saying no more, no more. Pass laws that end all
welfare benefits to illegals, ban it completely, ban it, put
up voter id laws across the entire country, and mail
in balloting and ballid harvesting make it impossible for illegals
(37:58):
to be able to vote. He goes, who's going to
vote for the Democrats. They're a minority party. And by
the way, one of the things he also wants, and
he's right, pass a law in which in the US
census Only citizens can be counted, not total population, meaning
(38:19):
not illegals. But what do you think is going to
happen if that happens, if you just count citizens in
the census.
