Speaker 1 (00:00):
Democrats shut down the government in a foot of peak,
James Commy faces justice in or Retribution, and the Department
of War gets a facelift. The times they are a
change in according to this week's did they really just
say that? Audio clips? I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Bob Dylan.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, actually, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
This is Newspye.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
You're good with the government shutdown, even if it means
giving healthcare to people who aren't Americans.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
You're trying to make me say that somehow we are
going to put non citizens over America's quit it, stop it.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I said, my heart is broken for the Department of Justice,
but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system
and I'm innocent.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
No more identity months, DEI offices dudes in dresses. As
I've said before, we are done with that.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well that, my friends, was this Secretary of War.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
War.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, warning, I think it's interesting because they changed the
Department of Defense to the Department of War, and I
started thinking, you know, they they could do that with
every department, so like you can name it, yeah, rename
every department, and you know you have to come up
with some good names. I mean, war obviously makes sense
because you got the military, so they're going to go
to war. But like the Department of Education, you could
call it like the Department of Smarty Pants or something,
(01:28):
or these.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Days the Department of Illegal Aliens department the superintendent Illegal
alien superintendent who then ran from police with three thousand
and cash and a gun into the woods Department of Justice,
and then the breaking news was he has to resign.
Really you think so you think maybe that's the I.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Mean, yeah, right, But the Department of Justice could be
like the Department of Jail, which is good because we
wouldn't have to change the letters. It would still be
the DOJ. So you can come up with a list
of all of the all of the departments and change
them up. Department of War is good obviously because well he.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Was confirmed as the Secretary of Defense, but he is
now the Secretary of War. Pete heg Seth is and
he's warning the generals and others at the Pentagon that
the days of DEI are over.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Eighteen A no more identity months.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Dei offices, dudes.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
In dresses, no more climate change worship, no more division
distraction or gender delusions, no more debris. As I've said before,
and we'll say again, we are done with that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm in a miss.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Corporal Clinger, he was trying to get out of the military.
That's why he did that. Remember he was that was
a ticket out.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They said, we're not getting the outfit. You can keep wearing.
Speaker 8 (02:44):
We like you, we like you. You can keep it up here.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
By the way, if if somebody was like a Corporal
Clinger who was a funny guy also a hard worker,
if you remember he uh and he liked the Toledo mudheads,
uh he you know, you could deal with that like, okay,
we got a few. You know, it's fine, you want
to work.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, But yeah, that's no, no, no, right, well then
Secretary Hekeseeth also says no fat generals need apply. We
got to get back into shape cut seventeen A.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
But when it comes to any job that requires physical
power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be
high and gender neutral. If women can make it excellent,
If not, it is what it is. If that means
no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.
That is not the intent, but it could be the result.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So be it.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
It will also men that we mean that weak men
won't qualify because we're not playing games.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
This is combat. This is life or death. By the way,
you could be fat and still qualify. I mean if
you can run fast enough, or do enough pull ups
or do.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Whatever you have Oh no, oh no, got news for you.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We put a weight limit.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Pass your PT test twice a year and that means
you have to be at a reasonable wait for your height.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, is that part of it? Yeah, because you could
beat like you No, that's part of people who are
overweight but are better shape than all everything that could be.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But if they don't meet the guidelines, they got a
big problem to see. They're going to help you if
you need to if you need to lose weight to
keep your job, they're going to help you do it.
But you got to meet certain guidelines. They're not screwing around.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You feel like and maybe if some people will get
kicked out of the military for this, But don't you think, like, uh,
there's always a few people who are pacifists or don't
want to fight, don't or don't want to get shot,
which of course most people don't, but you know, wouldn't
you think that eventually there's going to be a few
people who are like, oh, I either can be fat
or go to war. They just sit there and eat
cupcakes all day so they don't have to get to
(04:40):
sent to the job.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Basically, it's not it's not a case of combat duty
or fat. It's you have your job or you know so,
I mean, it's not. It doesn't matter if you want
to sit behind a desk or not.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
You're still got to be in shape. So that's that's.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The department of cupcakes.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's the new Department of war, the bakery department, right,
And all of this begs the question, is he planning
to go to war?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I mean, is that? What's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't think you planned to go to war. But
you have to be prepared for war, don't you.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I guess so. And that's what he's doing. And but
according to President Trump, we may be going to war,
but we also may be going to war with ourselves.
Basically cut thirteen A last.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
Month, they signed an executive order to provide training for
a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances.
This is going to be a big thing for the
people in this room, because it's the enemy from within
and we have to handle it before it gets out
of control. It won't get out of control once. Once
you're involved at all, they all joke, they say, oh,
(05:43):
this is not good. You saw it in Washington. We
had gangs of trend dea ruga, ten twelve, fifteen kids
and there's no there. Guys walk up to and they
treat them with disrespect, and they just got pounded. They
just got pounded.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
They just pounded the enemy within.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
That's a scary enemy and it is us.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I mean he's referencing people that are on American soil
as opposed to Americans. But still it's a scary phrase.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You should see. You should see driving a work you
think there's not a war within? Yeah, yeah, he's a tank.
I'll get in shape. Listen, I'll get in shape if
the Secretary of War will give me a tank to
drive to work in.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Tanks aren't very fast.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't take you like five hours.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
When there's a traffic jam, you you go right over
things you do. I maybe an armored home vy then
maybe that's.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
See that's I had a friend who really wanted a humpy.
He was in the Air Force and he really wanted
a humpy. But he found he had no place to
park it when he got it.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Home on top of my neighbors cross.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Nice, yeah, very nice, very very dice.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So when the President was talking about the enemy within,
it made me think that there was one enemy within
this week that got exposed by the and that would
be a former FBI director, James comy. Our So says
President Trump, cut number one.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They made you go and take a month shot. It's
this more about justice or is it about revenge?
Speaker 11 (07:17):
It's about justice, really, it's not revenge.
Speaker 12 (07:19):
It's about it's.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
Also it's also about the fact that you can't let
this go on.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They are sick, radical left.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
People and they can't get away with it and call me,
call me. Was one of the people. He wasn't the biggest,
but he's a dirty cop. He's always been a dirty cop.
Everybody knew it. And it's uh, you know, as far
as the case is concerned. He gave an answer. It
was a strong answer.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
He then verified.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
It a couple of times because that was a very
important answer. If he would have equivocated, if he would
have been like a little bit less sure, that would
have been very bad for him. So he gave an answer.
The only problem is for him, he didn't think it'd
be caught, and he got caught.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Him, and he got caught, And James Commy says, uh uh,
he is innocent. He's going down fighting cut to a
My family and I have.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Known for years that there are costs to standing up
to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any
other way. We will not live on our knees, and
you shouldn't either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said
that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she's right.
(08:34):
But I'm not afraid, and I hope you're not either.
I hope instead you are engaged, You are paying attention,
and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it,
which it does. My heart is broken for the Department
of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal
(08:54):
judicial system. And I'm innocent.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So let's have a trial.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Keep the faith.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Not everybody's buying it, But not everybody's buying that Holy
is now innocent.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I'm the victim.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Atics Well, you know, here's the thing too, with and look,
I know there's plenty of people who think the way
Comy does about Donald Trump. I mean there's a lot
of people don't like Donald Trump. But these are two
separate issues, right, Even if you think Donald Trump's a tyrant,
you can still think that James Comy is guilty. And
I think that he is. I mean, he's basically basically saying,
and I'm not going to be on the jury or
(09:29):
anything else. I think he's done wrong. How much wrong,
I don't know. But here's the thing. He's trying to
deflect whatever he's done wrong by saying Donald Trump is
a tyrant and a jerk and all this stuff. And
you might believe Donald Trump is a tyrant and a
jerk and all that stuff, but you can't let it
block out the fact that, okay, because Donald Trump's this
(09:51):
Comy's innocent. No, I mean, they are two separate issues,
So knock it off. When you're assessing this stuff. Everybody
tries to throw Donald Trump under the bus. Maybe fair
enough in some cases, I don't know, but that doesn't
take away from whatever the hell you're accused of or
what you're doing. Like when Congress does dumb stuff and
then they blamed Donald Trump. No, you did the dumb stuff,
(10:12):
you dummy.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
True enough, but many people are screaming that because he
hates Donald Trump, that this is about political persecution. But
what's interesting to me is Scott Jennings.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Who is a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Token I guess conservative on CNN, says not so fast
cut number five.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Please spare me the outrage over political prosecutions. For all
of you who ever said no one is above the law,
or said that institutions of justice are sacred and cannot
be questioned, or described Donald Trump as a thirty four
did felon you know what I say, Choke on it.
(10:53):
Just choke on it. Honestly, If you cheered the political
prosecutions of Donald Trump, cases that were clearly novel and
made up just for him, just for politics, choke on it.
If you are lamenting today, oh this was five years ago,
and yet you cheered on the criminalization of a UHM
(11:16):
liaison Trump had in two thousand and six, Choke on it.
If you're whining about the use of process to punish people,
but you cheered the use of process to cripple Trump
the candidate, Trump the president and his people, choke on it.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Choke on it.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
That's I think it's gonna be a bump protect.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Choke on it. I'm gonna I'm gonna go way over
the top to prove a point here, though, Okay, I
get it right. Political prosecutions, I thing do happen. I mean,
obviously people hold grudges or they want to frame somebody
for doing something they didn't do, that type of thing.
But in reality, you can't just use, well, it's a
political prosecution because he doesn't like him. Maybe he doesn't.
(11:57):
I'm sure Donald Trump doesn't like him. They are political
enemies or whatever you want to call it. But let's
just be ridiculously stupid here for a second. Let's say
that Charles Manson had been running for governor of California
after he did all the crap he did with the
Manson family, should he not be prosecuted because it's a
political prosecution by his opponent. No, he did the crime,
(12:18):
he shouldn't prosecuted. So there's two different things here. You
can hate somebody politically, but if they committed a crime,
then they should be prosecuted. And by the same token,
if they didn't, they shouldn't. So you've got to be
careful with political prosecutions because they're not all political prosecutions.
They're just playing prosecutions of someone who you happen to
be on the opposite side of the aisle of I.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Agree, I thank you, I agree with you.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So, but here's a thing that might get your blood
back up and going again. Well, no, it's not stopping
at James Commy, the Vice President says, there's more coming
cut number two.
Speaker 12 (12:55):
Well, there's certainly going to be more indictments coming over
the next three and a half years. The Trump administration,
we're always going to let the law drive this stuff
and the facts of the case, and not political motivations,
which frankly makes us so much different from the Biden administration,
where they indicted not just the prosi of the United States,
but so many people who were just engaged in the
basic job of politics, who were engaged in policymaking, who
(13:15):
disagreed with the Biden administration, and because that they faced
prosecution from that same administration. If you look at the
Comy indictment, Martha, this was a grand jury indictment delivered
in Alexander in Virginia, not exactly a hotbed of Donald
Trump's political support. They were there were three requested indictments.
The grand jury returned two of those three indictments so
(13:37):
I think they showed they were judicious. I think that
it showed clearly that there were a couple of things
that James Comy did wrong.
Speaker 8 (13:44):
Yeah, so there's more. It's not going to end with Comy.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And he makes a good point there. You know, these
are these are cases and even if you look, I
don't like him. So I'm going to bring a grand
jury together. Okay, fair enough, some people maybe do that,
but you then you have a impartial grand jury and
they're making a decision. If they think it's bs, they're
just gonna say, we're not indicting. So there's there is
(14:09):
something the back stuff there. And for those who say
and this is this is the problem, right, people will
then say, well, the grand jury wasn't fair, the grand
jury was was rigged, the grand jury was this You
start saying that pretty hardy. Well, true enough, but if
you start claiming that grand juries are rigged, you're basically
taking the whole justice system of the United States and
(14:31):
dumping it's on its head. So, look, I trust the
grand jury. I don't necessarily always agree. I trust juries too,
and I definitely do not agree with how juries come
back with verdicts sometimes, but look, fair is fair. Maybe
whoever brought the indictments doesn't like James call me fair enough,
But you're telling me an entire grand jury was was
(14:52):
in on it.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Yeah, so no, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Now, normally the indictment of the former FBI director would
be the big story of the week, you know, wouldn't
you say? I mean that generally is one of the
headlines that's usually a big thing. Yeah, but that was
not the big story this week. The big story was
Chuckle Schumer. Senator Chuck Schumer, senior senator from New York,
former minority leader or majority leader, actually shut down the government.
(15:21):
And this is according to Speaker Mike Johnson, that Schumer
is directly responsible for what happened last night at midnight
cut nine.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Please.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Lawmakers left and right have been saying, we've got to
get back to pre COVID spending. How do you get
back to pre COVID spending when you're bringing some of
those subsidies that were issued during COVID emergency.
Speaker 13 (15:41):
Well, we're not. I mean, the subsidies for Obamacare is
an issue that would expire, that those would expire at
the end of the year. There's plenty of time for
us to hash all that out. I'm not in favor
of that. I think it's a bad policy, but that's
not an issue for right now. Right now, we just
need a stop gap funding measure to keep the government
open and so we can have those debates. They're trying
(16:02):
to equate the issues, and they're not being honest with
the American people. There's one reason and one reason alone,
that Schumer and Jeffries are doing this. They're trying to
show a fight. I think it's very important to point
out there's no partisan provision in the CR. They have
already voted for this exact these exact levels of spending.
We're just keeping the doors open. But they want to
(16:22):
shut it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They want to shut it and why Because what they're
trying to do is are you ready for this? Get
health care for illegals? And this is something that Vice
President Vance exposed after meeting at the White House on
the continuing CR cut to B.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
We just had a very frank conversation with the Senate
and House Democratic leadership. Look, the principle at sake here
is very simple. We have disagreements about tax policy, but
you don't shut that government down. We have disagreements about
healthcare policy. But you don't shut the government down. You
don't use your policy disagreements as leverage to not pay
our troops, to not have essentials for services of government
actually function. You don't say the fact that you disagree
(17:01):
about a particular tax provision is an excuse for shutting
down to the people's government and all the essential services
that come along with it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, but you know, and here's President Trump responding to
basically the same situation, Cut one hundred staying.
Speaker 14 (17:16):
Out the Democrat Party when they have a thirty three
percent of favorability.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Rating on average in recent months, and they're willing to
shut down the government over our healthcare data.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Are shutting it down. We're not shutting it down.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
We don't want it to shut down because we have
the greatest period of time ever. I tell you, we
have seventeen trillion dollars being invested. So the last person
that once they shut down is us. Now, with that
being said, we can do things during the shutdown that
are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them,
like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that
(17:47):
they like, cutting programs that they like.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And what all this has to do with is they're
trying to get a situation in the continuing CR where
you could put illegal aliens on get their health care
paid for. And this is enraged President of Effisada. I'm
not agreeing to that these are new things that are
in the CR, not continuing along the way it's been
for the past year.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
They want to add.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
New that they thought they could hold hostage the government
and say you pay for legal aliens and okay, we'll
give you your CR.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
And they said no.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
And so the Democrats now have to own what is happening,
and they are furious, furious at being held accountable. Here
for instance, you heard this in the open. This is
Maxine waters cut ten A.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
That's why Democrats are demanding health care for everybody. We
want to save lives. We want to make sure that
healthcare is available to those who would die but having
the help of their government.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So you're good with the government shutdown even if it
means giving health care to people who aren't Americans.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Well, you keep that's what you're pushing on. What you're
trying to do is you're standing here and you're trying
to make me say that somehow we are going to
put non citizens over Americas. Quit it, stop it. This
is the kind of journalism we don't need. You have
the divisive No, you're not you're being divisive. No, please,
(19:18):
you don't need to ask that question. You're just trying
to get controversy here. You're not going to get it
from me. We want to save health care for all people.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
She said that twice, all people, that includes the legal aliens.
That's exactly what they're doing. And she's bull bleep that
the press is actually coming up to her and saying,
how dare you? How dare you ask the question? Are
you supposed tob to ask any question? It's up to
the to the person you asked the response, No, we're
not doing that. Did she say that? She didn't say that?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Why?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Because it's not true. They know they can't defend it.
And even Nancy Pelosi, what they've done when they're in
the corner now is they either lie or they start swearing,
and in Nancy Pelosi's case, she started doing both.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Cut six.
Speaker 12 (20:00):
You have confidence that this is actually a real negotiation
that is going to happen.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
As a White House leader.
Speaker 10 (20:05):
Today, oh, I have no idea I'm going into it.
Let's review what the President have said. What we're talking
about is meeting the healthcare needs of the American people.
Little babies, moms with breast cancer, dads with a stroke,
and all of that. The President has said, I hear
what they're saying. It's all unseerious and ridiculous. In fact,
(20:26):
I've listened to there and I tell them to go themselves.
So that's I can't believe I use that word. My
kids will be shocked, my grandall will be further shocked.
I'm just quoting the President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
First of all, the President never said that. He's never
said that. That's Nancy Pelosi saying that and then trying
to put that on Donald Trump. Then here it's gotten
so ludicrous that here is Senator Chuck Schumer on the
floor of the Senate and he's trying to answer critics
and the words Americans are going, okay, we're not buying it.
(21:01):
The Democrats are behaving badly. You're shutting this down. What
is your problem. There's a New York Times poll that
says Americans are not with you on this. Knock the
crap off. So Schumer gets up and tries to tell
everybody that that poll is biased. Don't believe it. It's
so ludicrous that people on the Senate floor burst out laughing,
and even Schumer starts laughing at himself. Cut three B.
Speaker 15 (21:24):
Now, I want to know the leader is going to
show a poll that says that Democrats will be blamed
for the shutdown. There are many more polls that show
Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased,
biased in the New York Times, but it's biased if
you turn the court.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That's true.
Speaker 15 (21:47):
I don't always believe the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
You can be sure of that, neither, do you? Okay?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, I mean it was just so ludicrous, and he's right.
The Majority Leader Senator soon did point out the poll.
But the poll, oh, was accurate, And he said, why
why would they possibly be doing this aggravating Americans? And
you know they've been peeing on us telling its raining
and the Americans stopped and said you're peeing on us,
stop it, and they still don't stop.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, Majority Leader Thoon had a response.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Cut four a.
Speaker 14 (22:20):
New York Times and basically the question on views on
whether the Democrats should or should not shout down the
government if their demands are not met. Sixty five percent
should not, twenty seven percent should now granted, I mean,
I don't think the issue here is who gets the blame,
who gets the political blame. That's not what this should
be about. This issue, honestly, folks, is about the American people.
(22:42):
A lot of Democrats, a lot of Republicans, a lot
of independents want us to keep the government open. So
why are the Democrats doing this? As was mentioned thirteen
times when they had the majority, we did short term
continuing resolutions, Republicans delivered voted with Democrats to fund the government. Well,
(23:03):
I know why we're doing this, mister President. The Democrats
far left base said jump and Democrat leader said how high.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That's exactly what's going on. And it really comes down
to the fact that Senator Schumer is facing a challenge
from far left AOC Congressman Alexandria A Casio Cretz and
has basically put it to him that this needs to
be he needs to carry the water for what the
(23:34):
progressive left want or she's going to challenge him, and
he wants to keep his job and just to show
you how hypocritical the Democrats are in this particular case.
This is a montage that actually Speaker Johnson's office put together.
It's of the Democrats in the past before this shutdown,
criticizing the government shutdown as something that hurts the American people.
(23:57):
But so when it's the other side threatening it, it's bad,
but not when they do it.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Cut one bee, it is not normal to shut down
the government when we don't get what we want.
Speaker 15 (24:06):
If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans
who suffer most. A government shut down means seniors who
rely on Social Security could be thrown into chaos.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Families will be hurt, Farmers will be hurt.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
It's the service members who will work without a paycheck.
It's the firefighters who will be furlough this shutdown.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You know who's going to feel the pain.
Speaker 12 (24:29):
You know who it hurts you?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Everyday people and the most vulnerable seniors, veterans, working families, hungary,
kids at all.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So that was the Democrats. You know, last year when
it was Republicans who were threatening a shutdown, you heard
Alexandria Kazi Cortez, you heard Chuck Schumer, you heard Ayana
Presley you heard Hokim Jeffries. Those are the people that
were screaming bloom Order down. But now they want to
shut it down. Why because the progressive left want illegals
(25:03):
to get free healthcare. That's what it comes down to.
And another point, a very interesting hypocrisy is the fact
that it used to be that Democrats despised free healthcare
for illegal AOMs and said it was a problem that
we should not do it. Here's Chuck Schumer nineteen ninety
six and Hillary Clinton in nineteen ninety three talking about
(25:25):
how we needed to stop illegals from getting healthcare.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Cut one A, this is an anti fraud amendment.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
All over where we go, people say, well, why can't
you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here? And
the number one answer we give our constituencies when they
come here they can get jobs, get benefits against the
law because of fraud.
Speaker 17 (25:47):
And then finally, as to illegal aliens, we agree with
you that we do not think the comprehensive health care
benefits should be extended to those who are undocumented workers
and illegal aliens. We do not want to do anything
to encourage more illegal immigration into this country. We know
now that too many people come in for medical care.
(26:08):
As it is, we certainly don't want them having the
same benefits that American citizens are entitled to have.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But now that illegal aliens are viewed as a voting
block for the progressive left, the progressive left wants those
people to come in, wants them to get free healthcare.
And that's why you have Schumer and friends shutting everything down.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Hold on a second, let me lick at my finger
and see which way the wind's blowing it.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's called it's called hypocrisy, and it's sickening.
And who knows how far this will go. As of
this recording, the government is still shut down, so we
will see by the way it comes out.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Just in case anybody was concerned. Even after the government
shut down, I was fine, getting to work and everything.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
So it was okay, everybody is, you know, feeling so
much better?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Right. Look, obviously it's going to hurt people, not on
day one necessarily because it is like the first few
hours and all that. But yeah, I mean people are
going to suffer. Not every single person, mind you. Some
people will just go about their lives like nothing ever
happened because they don't need the well well, they don't
need the government. Yeah, but I did hear one of
the things. And if you happen to be flying, there
(27:17):
could be issues with delays of planes because of the
issues with the air traffic controllers and all of that.
So clearly not just people who rely on money and
funds and stuff from the government, but even just general services.
And you mightn't even equate with the government, like I'm
getting on a plane. Government has nothing to do with it. Wrong.
So I mean, obviously there will be problems. And the
(27:38):
longer this goes on, and as we record it, I've
had no problems yet. Just wanted you to know.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I know everybody is resting easy.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Now good.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
That's so much better.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We end every week with the truth Control and as
is ninety percent of our truth controls. This one too
is President Trump. Do you remember how he used to
do that program before he got into politics called The
Apprentice and at the end you would go, you're fired fired. Well,
he appears to be threatening generals at the Pentagon with
a you're fired moment. And my question is is he
(28:07):
just screwing with him because he can or does he
really mean it?
Speaker 11 (28:10):
Cut twelve A, these are our generals our admirals are leaders,
and it's.
Speaker 16 (28:15):
A good thing.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
A thing like this has never been done before because
they came from all over the world, and there's a
little bit of expense, not much, but there's a little
expense for that. Wouldn't liked to wasted.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Would rather spend it on.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Bullets and rockets, frankled. But this was the one time
we had to do a great spiritizing. It's going to
be great.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I've seen it already.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
We have every general, every admiral, We have great people.
We have our real warriors over there. And when they're
not good, when we don't think they're our warriors, you
know what happens. We say you're fired. Get out.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He had a big meeting in Virginia. You heard a
secretary of war Hegsath talking before, and it looks like
he's having the presence can have an apprentice meeting with him.
Do you think he really intends to fire generals or
is he just stirring stuff up because you know what
he can, Well, he is the commander in chief, I.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Think, and he obviously can send things down the pipeline
and tell this general or this colonel, there's so and
so to do this, or that or the other thing.
I think he would intend to remove people who defy
him from high posts. For example, if you're a general
and you're serving in a certain place and maybe maybe
(29:28):
you like it, maybe it's a nice place, maybe end
up doing your next tour in a place that's not
so nice. So I don't know about firing, but certainly
moving them around to where they may or may not
want to be, or doing a job they may or
may not want to do.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
True enough, So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So you can let Ben and I know if you
believe President Trump is strolling, you can contact us on
x at news by three or on Facebook at newsbyite.
We upload a new episode every single Monday, so check
back next week and see what new offerings we have. Meanwhile,
let's see if the government comes back. I'm Nancy Shack,
maybe I'm Ben Parker. This is newspaper
Democrats shut down the government in a foot of peak,
James Commy faces justice in or Retribution, and the Department
of War gets a facelift. The times they are a
change in according to this week's did they really just
say that? Audio clips? I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Bob Dylan.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, actually, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
This is Newspye.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
You're good with the government shutdown, even if it means
giving healthcare to people who aren't Americans.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
You're trying to make me say that somehow we are
going to put non citizens over America's quit it, stop it.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I said, my heart is broken for the Department of Justice,
but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system
and I'm innocent.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
No more identity months, DEI offices dudes in dresses. As
I've said before, we are done with that.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well that, my friends, was this Secretary of War.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
War.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, warning, I think it's interesting because they changed the
Department of Defense to the Department of War, and I
started thinking, you know, they they could do that with
every department, so like you can name it, yeah, rename
every department, and you know you have to come up
with some good names. I mean, war obviously makes sense
because you got the military, so they're going to go
to war. But like the Department of Education, you could
call it like the Department of Smarty Pants or something,
(01:28):
or these.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Days the Department of Illegal Aliens department the superintendent Illegal
alien superintendent who then ran from police with three thousand
and cash and a gun into the woods Department of Justice,
and then the breaking news was he has to resign.
Really you think so you think maybe that's the I.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Mean, yeah, right, But the Department of Justice could be
like the Department of Jail, which is good because we
wouldn't have to change the letters. It would still be
the DOJ. So you can come up with a list
of all of the all of the departments and change
them up. Department of War is good obviously because well he.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Was confirmed as the Secretary of Defense, but he is
now the Secretary of War. Pete heg Seth is and
he's warning the generals and others at the Pentagon that
the days of DEI are over.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Eighteen A no more identity months.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Dei offices, dudes.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
In dresses, no more climate change worship, no more division
distraction or gender delusions, no more debris. As I've said before,
and we'll say again, we are done with that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm in a miss.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Corporal Clinger, he was trying to get out of the military.
That's why he did that. Remember he was that was
a ticket out.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They said, we're not getting the outfit. You can keep wearing.
Speaker 8 (02:44):
We like you, we like you. You can keep it up here.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
By the way, if if somebody was like a Corporal
Clinger who was a funny guy also a hard worker,
if you remember he uh and he liked the Toledo mudheads,
uh he you know, you could deal with that like, okay,
we got a few. You know, it's fine, you want
to work.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, But yeah, that's no, no, no, right, well then
Secretary Hekeseeth also says no fat generals need apply. We
got to get back into shape cut seventeen A.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
But when it comes to any job that requires physical
power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be
high and gender neutral. If women can make it excellent,
If not, it is what it is. If that means
no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.
That is not the intent, but it could be the result.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So be it.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
It will also men that we mean that weak men
won't qualify because we're not playing games.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
This is combat. This is life or death. By the way,
you could be fat and still qualify. I mean if
you can run fast enough, or do enough pull ups
or do.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Whatever you have Oh no, oh no, got news for you.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We put a weight limit.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Pass your PT test twice a year and that means
you have to be at a reasonable wait for your height.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, is that part of it? Yeah, because you could
beat like you No, that's part of people who are
overweight but are better shape than all everything that could be.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But if they don't meet the guidelines, they got a
big problem to see. They're going to help you if
you need to if you need to lose weight to
keep your job, they're going to help you do it.
But you got to meet certain guidelines. They're not screwing around.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You feel like and maybe if some people will get
kicked out of the military for this, But don't you think, like, uh,
there's always a few people who are pacifists or don't
want to fight, don't or don't want to get shot,
which of course most people don't, but you know, wouldn't
you think that eventually there's going to be a few
people who are like, oh, I either can be fat
or go to war. They just sit there and eat
cupcakes all day so they don't have to get to
(04:40):
sent to the job.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Basically, it's not it's not a case of combat duty
or fat. It's you have your job or you know so,
I mean, it's not. It doesn't matter if you want
to sit behind a desk or not.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
You're still got to be in shape. So that's that's.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The department of cupcakes.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's the new Department of war, the bakery department, right,
And all of this begs the question, is he planning
to go to war?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I mean, is that? What's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't think you planned to go to war. But
you have to be prepared for war, don't you.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I guess so. And that's what he's doing. And but
according to President Trump, we may be going to war,
but we also may be going to war with ourselves.
Basically cut thirteen A last.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
Month, they signed an executive order to provide training for
a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances.
This is going to be a big thing for the
people in this room, because it's the enemy from within
and we have to handle it before it gets out
of control. It won't get out of control once. Once
you're involved at all, they all joke, they say, oh,
(05:43):
this is not good. You saw it in Washington. We
had gangs of trend dea ruga, ten twelve, fifteen kids
and there's no there. Guys walk up to and they
treat them with disrespect, and they just got pounded. They
just got pounded.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
They just pounded the enemy within.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
That's a scary enemy and it is us.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I mean he's referencing people that are on American soil
as opposed to Americans. But still it's a scary phrase.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You should see. You should see driving a work you
think there's not a war within? Yeah, yeah, he's a tank.
I'll get in shape. Listen, I'll get in shape if
the Secretary of War will give me a tank to
drive to work in.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Tanks aren't very fast.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't take you like five hours.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
When there's a traffic jam, you you go right over
things you do. I maybe an armored home vy then
maybe that's.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
See that's I had a friend who really wanted a humpy.
He was in the Air Force and he really wanted
a humpy. But he found he had no place to
park it when he got it.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Home on top of my neighbors cross.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Nice, yeah, very nice, very very dice.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So when the President was talking about the enemy within,
it made me think that there was one enemy within
this week that got exposed by the and that would
be a former FBI director, James comy. Our So says
President Trump, cut number one.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They made you go and take a month shot. It's
this more about justice or is it about revenge?
Speaker 11 (07:17):
It's about justice, really, it's not revenge.
Speaker 12 (07:19):
It's about it's.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
Also it's also about the fact that you can't let
this go on.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They are sick, radical left.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
People and they can't get away with it and call me,
call me. Was one of the people. He wasn't the biggest,
but he's a dirty cop. He's always been a dirty cop.
Everybody knew it. And it's uh, you know, as far
as the case is concerned. He gave an answer. It
was a strong answer.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
He then verified.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
It a couple of times because that was a very
important answer. If he would have equivocated, if he would
have been like a little bit less sure, that would
have been very bad for him. So he gave an answer.
The only problem is for him, he didn't think it'd
be caught, and he got caught.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Him, and he got caught, And James Commy says, uh uh,
he is innocent. He's going down fighting cut to a
My family and I have.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Known for years that there are costs to standing up
to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any
other way. We will not live on our knees, and
you shouldn't either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said
that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she's right.
(08:34):
But I'm not afraid, and I hope you're not either.
I hope instead you are engaged, You are paying attention,
and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it,
which it does. My heart is broken for the Department
of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal
(08:54):
judicial system. And I'm innocent.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So let's have a trial.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Keep the faith.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Not everybody's buying it, But not everybody's buying that Holy
is now innocent.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I'm the victim.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Atics Well, you know, here's the thing too, with and look,
I know there's plenty of people who think the way
Comy does about Donald Trump. I mean there's a lot
of people don't like Donald Trump. But these are two
separate issues, right, Even if you think Donald Trump's a tyrant,
you can still think that James Comy is guilty. And
I think that he is. I mean, he's basically basically saying,
and I'm not going to be on the jury or
(09:29):
anything else. I think he's done wrong. How much wrong,
I don't know. But here's the thing. He's trying to
deflect whatever he's done wrong by saying Donald Trump is
a tyrant and a jerk and all this stuff. And
you might believe Donald Trump is a tyrant and a
jerk and all that stuff, but you can't let it
block out the fact that, okay, because Donald Trump's this
(09:51):
Comy's innocent. No, I mean, they are two separate issues,
So knock it off. When you're assessing this stuff. Everybody
tries to throw Donald Trump under the bus. Maybe fair
enough in some cases, I don't know, but that doesn't
take away from whatever the hell you're accused of or
what you're doing. Like when Congress does dumb stuff and
then they blamed Donald Trump. No, you did the dumb stuff,
(10:12):
you dummy.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
True enough, but many people are screaming that because he
hates Donald Trump, that this is about political persecution. But
what's interesting to me is Scott Jennings.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Who is a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Token I guess conservative on CNN, says not so fast
cut number five.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Please spare me the outrage over political prosecutions. For all
of you who ever said no one is above the law,
or said that institutions of justice are sacred and cannot
be questioned, or described Donald Trump as a thirty four
did felon you know what I say, Choke on it.
(10:53):
Just choke on it. Honestly, If you cheered the political
prosecutions of Donald Trump, cases that were clearly novel and
made up just for him, just for politics, choke on it.
If you are lamenting today, oh this was five years ago,
and yet you cheered on the criminalization of a UHM
(11:16):
liaison Trump had in two thousand and six, Choke on it.
If you're whining about the use of process to punish people,
but you cheered the use of process to cripple Trump
the candidate, Trump the president and his people, choke on it.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Choke on it.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
That's I think it's gonna be a bump protect.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Choke on it. I'm gonna I'm gonna go way over
the top to prove a point here, though, Okay, I
get it right. Political prosecutions, I thing do happen. I mean,
obviously people hold grudges or they want to frame somebody
for doing something they didn't do, that type of thing.
But in reality, you can't just use, well, it's a
political prosecution because he doesn't like him. Maybe he doesn't.
(11:57):
I'm sure Donald Trump doesn't like him. They are political
enemies or whatever you want to call it. But let's
just be ridiculously stupid here for a second. Let's say
that Charles Manson had been running for governor of California
after he did all the crap he did with the
Manson family, should he not be prosecuted because it's a
political prosecution by his opponent. No, he did the crime,
(12:18):
he shouldn't prosecuted. So there's two different things here. You
can hate somebody politically, but if they committed a crime,
then they should be prosecuted. And by the same token,
if they didn't, they shouldn't. So you've got to be
careful with political prosecutions because they're not all political prosecutions.
They're just playing prosecutions of someone who you happen to
be on the opposite side of the aisle of I.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Agree, I thank you, I agree with you.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So, but here's a thing that might get your blood
back up and going again. Well, no, it's not stopping
at James Commy, the Vice President says, there's more coming
cut number two.
Speaker 12 (12:55):
Well, there's certainly going to be more indictments coming over
the next three and a half years. The Trump administration,
we're always going to let the law drive this stuff
and the facts of the case, and not political motivations,
which frankly makes us so much different from the Biden administration,
where they indicted not just the prosi of the United States,
but so many people who were just engaged in the
basic job of politics, who were engaged in policymaking, who
(13:15):
disagreed with the Biden administration, and because that they faced
prosecution from that same administration. If you look at the
Comy indictment, Martha, this was a grand jury indictment delivered
in Alexander in Virginia, not exactly a hotbed of Donald
Trump's political support. They were there were three requested indictments.
The grand jury returned two of those three indictments so
(13:37):
I think they showed they were judicious. I think that
it showed clearly that there were a couple of things
that James Comy did wrong.
Speaker 8 (13:44):
Yeah, so there's more. It's not going to end with Comy.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And he makes a good point there. You know, these
are these are cases and even if you look, I
don't like him. So I'm going to bring a grand
jury together. Okay, fair enough, some people maybe do that,
but you then you have a impartial grand jury and
they're making a decision. If they think it's bs, they're
just gonna say, we're not indicting. So there's there is
(14:09):
something the back stuff there. And for those who say
and this is this is the problem, right, people will
then say, well, the grand jury wasn't fair, the grand
jury was was rigged, the grand jury was this You
start saying that pretty hardy. Well, true enough, but if
you start claiming that grand juries are rigged, you're basically
taking the whole justice system of the United States and
(14:31):
dumping it's on its head. So, look, I trust the
grand jury. I don't necessarily always agree. I trust juries too,
and I definitely do not agree with how juries come
back with verdicts sometimes, but look, fair is fair. Maybe
whoever brought the indictments doesn't like James call me fair enough,
But you're telling me an entire grand jury was was
(14:52):
in on it.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Yeah, so no, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Now, normally the indictment of the former FBI director would
be the big story of the week, you know, wouldn't
you say? I mean that generally is one of the
headlines that's usually a big thing. Yeah, but that was
not the big story this week. The big story was
Chuckle Schumer. Senator Chuck Schumer, senior senator from New York,
former minority leader or majority leader, actually shut down the government.
(15:21):
And this is according to Speaker Mike Johnson, that Schumer
is directly responsible for what happened last night at midnight
cut nine.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Please.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Lawmakers left and right have been saying, we've got to
get back to pre COVID spending. How do you get
back to pre COVID spending when you're bringing some of
those subsidies that were issued during COVID emergency.
Speaker 13 (15:41):
Well, we're not. I mean, the subsidies for Obamacare is
an issue that would expire, that those would expire at
the end of the year. There's plenty of time for
us to hash all that out. I'm not in favor
of that. I think it's a bad policy, but that's
not an issue for right now. Right now, we just
need a stop gap funding measure to keep the government
open and so we can have those debates. They're trying
(16:02):
to equate the issues, and they're not being honest with
the American people. There's one reason and one reason alone,
that Schumer and Jeffries are doing this. They're trying to
show a fight. I think it's very important to point
out there's no partisan provision in the CR. They have
already voted for this exact these exact levels of spending.
We're just keeping the doors open. But they want to
(16:22):
shut it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They want to shut it and why Because what they're
trying to do is are you ready for this? Get
health care for illegals? And this is something that Vice
President Vance exposed after meeting at the White House on
the continuing CR cut to B.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
We just had a very frank conversation with the Senate
and House Democratic leadership. Look, the principle at sake here
is very simple. We have disagreements about tax policy, but
you don't shut that government down. We have disagreements about
healthcare policy. But you don't shut the government down. You
don't use your policy disagreements as leverage to not pay
our troops, to not have essentials for services of government
actually function. You don't say the fact that you disagree
(17:01):
about a particular tax provision is an excuse for shutting
down to the people's government and all the essential services
that come along with it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, but you know, and here's President Trump responding to
basically the same situation, Cut one hundred staying.
Speaker 14 (17:16):
Out the Democrat Party when they have a thirty three
percent of favorability.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Rating on average in recent months, and they're willing to
shut down the government over our healthcare data.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Are shutting it down. We're not shutting it down.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
We don't want it to shut down because we have
the greatest period of time ever. I tell you, we
have seventeen trillion dollars being invested. So the last person
that once they shut down is us. Now, with that
being said, we can do things during the shutdown that
are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them,
like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that
(17:47):
they like, cutting programs that they like.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And what all this has to do with is they're
trying to get a situation in the continuing CR where
you could put illegal aliens on get their health care
paid for. And this is enraged President of Effisada. I'm
not agreeing to that these are new things that are
in the CR, not continuing along the way it's been
for the past year.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
They want to add.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
New that they thought they could hold hostage the government
and say you pay for legal aliens and okay, we'll
give you your CR.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
And they said no.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
And so the Democrats now have to own what is happening,
and they are furious, furious at being held accountable. Here
for instance, you heard this in the open. This is
Maxine waters cut ten A.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
That's why Democrats are demanding health care for everybody. We
want to save lives. We want to make sure that
healthcare is available to those who would die but having
the help of their government.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So you're good with the government shutdown even if it
means giving health care to people who aren't Americans.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Well, you keep that's what you're pushing on. What you're
trying to do is you're standing here and you're trying
to make me say that somehow we are going to
put non citizens over Americas. Quit it, stop it. This
is the kind of journalism we don't need. You have
the divisive No, you're not you're being divisive. No, please,
(19:18):
you don't need to ask that question. You're just trying
to get controversy here. You're not going to get it
from me. We want to save health care for all people.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
She said that twice, all people, that includes the legal aliens.
That's exactly what they're doing. And she's bull bleep that
the press is actually coming up to her and saying,
how dare you? How dare you ask the question? Are
you supposed tob to ask any question? It's up to
the to the person you asked the response, No, we're
not doing that. Did she say that? She didn't say that?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Why?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Because it's not true. They know they can't defend it.
And even Nancy Pelosi, what they've done when they're in
the corner now is they either lie or they start swearing,
and in Nancy Pelosi's case, she started doing both.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Cut six.
Speaker 12 (20:00):
You have confidence that this is actually a real negotiation
that is going to happen.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
As a White House leader.
Speaker 10 (20:05):
Today, oh, I have no idea I'm going into it.
Let's review what the President have said. What we're talking
about is meeting the healthcare needs of the American people.
Little babies, moms with breast cancer, dads with a stroke,
and all of that. The President has said, I hear
what they're saying. It's all unseerious and ridiculous. In fact,
(20:26):
I've listened to there and I tell them to go themselves.
So that's I can't believe I use that word. My
kids will be shocked, my grandall will be further shocked.
I'm just quoting the President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
First of all, the President never said that. He's never
said that. That's Nancy Pelosi saying that and then trying
to put that on Donald Trump. Then here it's gotten
so ludicrous that here is Senator Chuck Schumer on the
floor of the Senate and he's trying to answer critics
and the words Americans are going, okay, we're not buying it.
(21:01):
The Democrats are behaving badly. You're shutting this down. What
is your problem. There's a New York Times poll that
says Americans are not with you on this. Knock the
crap off. So Schumer gets up and tries to tell
everybody that that poll is biased. Don't believe it. It's
so ludicrous that people on the Senate floor burst out laughing,
and even Schumer starts laughing at himself. Cut three B.
Speaker 15 (21:24):
Now, I want to know the leader is going to
show a poll that says that Democrats will be blamed
for the shutdown. There are many more polls that show
Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased,
biased in the New York Times, but it's biased if
you turn the court.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That's true.
Speaker 15 (21:47):
I don't always believe the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
You can be sure of that, neither, do you? Okay?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, I mean it was just so ludicrous, and he's right.
The Majority Leader Senator soon did point out the poll.
But the poll, oh, was accurate, And he said, why
why would they possibly be doing this aggravating Americans? And
you know they've been peeing on us telling its raining
and the Americans stopped and said you're peeing on us,
stop it, and they still don't stop.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, Majority Leader Thoon had a response.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Cut four a.
Speaker 14 (22:20):
New York Times and basically the question on views on
whether the Democrats should or should not shout down the
government if their demands are not met. Sixty five percent
should not, twenty seven percent should now granted, I mean,
I don't think the issue here is who gets the blame,
who gets the political blame. That's not what this should
be about. This issue, honestly, folks, is about the American people.
(22:42):
A lot of Democrats, a lot of Republicans, a lot
of independents want us to keep the government open. So
why are the Democrats doing this? As was mentioned thirteen
times when they had the majority, we did short term
continuing resolutions, Republicans delivered voted with Democrats to fund the government. Well,
(23:03):
I know why we're doing this, mister President. The Democrats
far left base said jump and Democrat leader said how high.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That's exactly what's going on. And it really comes down
to the fact that Senator Schumer is facing a challenge
from far left AOC Congressman Alexandria A Casio Cretz and
has basically put it to him that this needs to
be he needs to carry the water for what the
(23:34):
progressive left want or she's going to challenge him, and
he wants to keep his job and just to show
you how hypocritical the Democrats are in this particular case.
This is a montage that actually Speaker Johnson's office put together.
It's of the Democrats in the past before this shutdown,
criticizing the government shutdown as something that hurts the American people.
(23:57):
But so when it's the other side threatening it, it's bad,
but not when they do it.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Cut one bee, it is not normal to shut down
the government when we don't get what we want.
Speaker 15 (24:06):
If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans
who suffer most. A government shut down means seniors who
rely on Social Security could be thrown into chaos.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Families will be hurt, Farmers will be hurt.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
It's the service members who will work without a paycheck.
It's the firefighters who will be furlough this shutdown.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You know who's going to feel the pain.
Speaker 12 (24:29):
You know who it hurts you?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Everyday people and the most vulnerable seniors, veterans, working families, hungary,
kids at all.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So that was the Democrats. You know, last year when
it was Republicans who were threatening a shutdown, you heard
Alexandria Kazi Cortez, you heard Chuck Schumer, you heard Ayana
Presley you heard Hokim Jeffries. Those are the people that
were screaming bloom Order down. But now they want to
shut it down. Why because the progressive left want illegals
(25:03):
to get free healthcare. That's what it comes down to.
And another point, a very interesting hypocrisy is the fact
that it used to be that Democrats despised free healthcare
for illegal AOMs and said it was a problem that
we should not do it. Here's Chuck Schumer nineteen ninety
six and Hillary Clinton in nineteen ninety three talking about
(25:25):
how we needed to stop illegals from getting healthcare.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Cut one A, this is an anti fraud amendment.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
All over where we go, people say, well, why can't
you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here? And
the number one answer we give our constituencies when they
come here they can get jobs, get benefits against the
law because of fraud.
Speaker 17 (25:47):
And then finally, as to illegal aliens, we agree with
you that we do not think the comprehensive health care
benefits should be extended to those who are undocumented workers
and illegal aliens. We do not want to do anything
to encourage more illegal immigration into this country. We know
now that too many people come in for medical care.
(26:08):
As it is, we certainly don't want them having the
same benefits that American citizens are entitled to have.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But now that illegal aliens are viewed as a voting
block for the progressive left, the progressive left wants those
people to come in, wants them to get free healthcare.
And that's why you have Schumer and friends shutting everything down.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Hold on a second, let me lick at my finger
and see which way the wind's blowing it.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's called it's called hypocrisy, and it's sickening.
And who knows how far this will go. As of
this recording, the government is still shut down, so we
will see by the way it comes out.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Just in case anybody was concerned. Even after the government
shut down, I was fine, getting to work and everything.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
So it was okay, everybody is, you know, feeling so
much better?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Right. Look, obviously it's going to hurt people, not on
day one necessarily because it is like the first few
hours and all that. But yeah, I mean people are
going to suffer. Not every single person, mind you. Some
people will just go about their lives like nothing ever
happened because they don't need the well well, they don't
need the government. Yeah, but I did hear one of
the things. And if you happen to be flying, there
(27:17):
could be issues with delays of planes because of the
issues with the air traffic controllers and all of that.
So clearly not just people who rely on money and
funds and stuff from the government, but even just general services.
And you mightn't even equate with the government, like I'm
getting on a plane. Government has nothing to do with it. Wrong.
So I mean, obviously there will be problems. And the
(27:38):
longer this goes on, and as we record it, I've
had no problems yet. Just wanted you to know.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I know everybody is resting easy.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Now good.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
That's so much better.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We end every week with the truth Control and as
is ninety percent of our truth controls. This one too
is President Trump. Do you remember how he used to
do that program before he got into politics called The
Apprentice and at the end you would go, you're fired fired. Well,
he appears to be threatening generals at the Pentagon with
a you're fired moment. And my question is is he
(28:07):
just screwing with him because he can or does he
really mean it?
Speaker 11 (28:10):
Cut twelve A, these are our generals our admirals are leaders,
and it's.
Speaker 16 (28:15):
A good thing.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
A thing like this has never been done before because
they came from all over the world, and there's a
little bit of expense, not much, but there's a little
expense for that. Wouldn't liked to wasted.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Would rather spend it on.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Bullets and rockets, frankled. But this was the one time
we had to do a great spiritizing. It's going to
be great.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I've seen it already.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
We have every general, every admiral, We have great people.
We have our real warriors over there. And when they're
not good, when we don't think they're our warriors, you
know what happens. We say you're fired. Get out.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He had a big meeting in Virginia. You heard a
secretary of war Hegsath talking before, and it looks like
he's having the presence can have an apprentice meeting with him.
Do you think he really intends to fire generals or
is he just stirring stuff up because you know what
he can, Well, he is the commander in chief, I.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Think, and he obviously can send things down the pipeline
and tell this general or this colonel, there's so and
so to do this, or that or the other thing.
I think he would intend to remove people who defy
him from high posts. For example, if you're a general
and you're serving in a certain place and maybe maybe
(29:28):
you like it, maybe it's a nice place, maybe end
up doing your next tour in a place that's not
so nice. So I don't know about firing, but certainly
moving them around to where they may or may not
want to be, or doing a job they may or
may not want to do.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
True enough, So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
