Marking two years to the day since the terrorist attacks by Hamas inside Israel, where 1,200 Israelis were killed and scores of others were kidnapped as hostages, Ryan joins Bill Maher in bewilderment at the Left tolerating its ignorant youth who support a 'Free Palestine' at the expense of any decency toward Jews or the very existence of Israel.
Rep. Gabe Evans (R, CO-8) joins Ryan to update on the ongoing government shutdown in Washington, D.C. and why Democrats continue to hold out on passing a continuing resolution for federal spending - one which is identical to the last CR passed through both houses of Congress.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Whatever you want to call me, Zionist baby, this, anything
you want to I'm begging you right now, all of us,
all of you, all of us, the entire world, for Hamasta,
please take this deal. For everybody to encourage that, because
if it's not taken now, if you think it's been bad,
(00:21):
it is going to get bad for the people that
you say you care so much about.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm saying that from the bottom of my heart.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And I believe in Michael Rapaport, pro Israel Jewish comedian.
He has really changed I think his whole perspective, his worldview,
his reality based on the events of October seventh, two
years ago. And he posted that video as part of
his podcast I Am Rapaport on x and that was
(00:49):
a portion of it. And he was talking to the
pro Palestine crowd, which we'll get to in just a moment,
those that are rooting for Romaus, rooting to global the Intafada,
chanting from the river to the sea. Palestine must be free,
which means of course, the eradication, the erasure of Israel.
(01:10):
But that Rapaport has a bigger prize in mind tells
you I think a lot about him as a person
that he's willing to put all that aside to end
this war, to return the hostages and the bodies of hostages,
which in my cynical but I think reality based view.
If I was advising BB Nat Yaho and Israel, it
(01:34):
would be with the assumption go in with the assumption
that worst case scenario, all of the hostages are deceased.
I don't know that there's proof of life videos recently
for any of them. There might be some still alive,
and that would be a pleasant surprise. But unfortunately, with
the brutality that we've seen from Homas, the lack of
humanity from them, they are a terrorist organization that rules
(01:57):
by FIAT over Gaza voted in and Dan and I
have had debates about that, whether it was legitimate, whether
the elections were fake. They haven't held elections since that
was going back to about two thousand and seven. But
as with any populace, it is incumbent upon the people
to rise from wherever they are, the squalor the despair,
(02:23):
and to launch a revolution of their own. This cannot
happen and be forced upon them from without. We learn
that the hard way, unfortunately, in my opinion, in both
Afghanistan and Iraq, that we can't go around nation building
through wars of misadventure. It didn't work in Vietnam certainly
did not, and it just won't work. We will not
(02:44):
be greeted as liberators. As Dick Cheney infamously once said,
it is not mission accomplished. As the banner behind President
George W. Bush aboard the aircraft carrier said when Saddam
Hussein was deposed in Iraq, there is so much more
complication to the thousands of years of history in that
(03:06):
region than I think many of us are able to comprehend.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And I say that for myself as well.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't understand all the customs, the rituals, the history,
the brutality of that region. I don't. I did not
grow up in it. I'm not familiar with it. I
haven't lived it. I'm not going to pretend that I do.
And I think it comes with that humility when you
approach a situation that sure our way of life for us,
(03:33):
Western civilization founded upon Judeo Christian work, ethic and values,
a nation built upon a declaration of independence and a
constitution that has lasted now almost two hundred and fifty years,
but think about everything we've been through over that quarter
of a millennia to get to where we are now,
and still and still not all of our problems are solved.
(03:54):
So for us to have the audacity, the arrogance to
believe that we can go around and just change the
world with a stroke of our pen or a wave
of a wand, or a dropping of a bomb, or
a conquering of a dictator overthrowing that dictator, it is foolhardy,
It is foolish, It is naive. And I don't subscribe
(04:18):
to that any longer as it maybe I once did.
I think many of us were fooled, those of us
who supported George W. Bush for two terms. And I did,
And if I had it to do over again, I
would still vote for George W. Bush over Al Gore
John Kerry. That was an easy call for me both times.
I think on the whole, President George W. Bush meant
(04:40):
to do the right things, did some of the right things.
I think he fell short in many ways where President
Trump is delivering. One of the things that President George W.
Bush wanted to do during his eight years in office,
and it never even really got to the table, was
to privatize social Security, and that scares a lot of people.
What should scare you more is that the government it
runs our social security. That any government run program is
(05:04):
going to be subject to waste, fraud, and.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Abuse, as we've seen with DOGE, to delays.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
In service, as we've seen with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Not to pick on anybody, but as you observe any
government run endeavor, it is not fueled on efficiency.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
In fact, that is not a primary motive.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
When the government doesn't have to compete in the private
market enterprise of ideas, consumer goods, and services, you had
better get the job done at a high level or
somebody else is going to beat you.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And that is the beauty of capitalism and.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Why state, central government run programs are almost always destined
to fail. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. I know
that sounds like an oversimplification. Look that term up, What
does it mean? What is it reference? It is kicking
the can down the road, hoping and counting upon younger
(05:58):
workers to contribute their hard earned dollars into a program
to fuel and fund those retirees who are now in
a position to collect. And I know the argument, and
I get it from a lot of you. Hey, I
paid into it. Yeah, are you going to see a
return on that investment. It's the worst investment structure ever
devised by the American government.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And had George W.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Bush allowed for something along the lines of as I
work in a show sponsor Trajan wealth to build your well,
to have a motivation and incentive structure for that to happen,
then you would see maybe tenfold, perhaps even higher, of
a program that is destined for success based on the
(06:41):
American dollar, based on the American stock market, through smart
systemic investments over the long term. Social Security counts on
another couple of things, the retirement age of sixty five,
which at the time it was founded, we're talking nineteen thirties,
the life expectancy was much lower than it is now.
(07:02):
I mean, on average, you can count on the average
person living what eighty one maybe eighty three years if
you're a female, that's sixteen eighteen years of collecting beyond
the sixty five retirement age of Social Security. And who's
going to pay into that. We're not having as many kids,
our population is on the decline. We don't have enough
workers to replace the ones that are retiring.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What do you think is going to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Everything's going to fall under the weight of itself and
fall apart. So it was never a good idea to
begin with. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions,
but it was not smart. It was not business savvy.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That model.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It's erroneous. That all being said, five seven seventh, three nine.
You can contribute texts to the program today again. October seventh,
twenty twenty five, marking two years since Hamas invaded Israel, kidnapped, raped, murdered,
(08:00):
burned alive many Jewish Israeli citizens who were innocent, many
of whom were young people attending a music festival. And
I would venture to say many in attendance at that
music festival would have, in theory maybe supported a Palestinian state.
(08:22):
Maybe we're more left of center politically certainly than me personally,
or maybe you out there in our listening audience. But
that's not how Hamas operates again as a terrorist organization.
And until or unless the Palestinian people rise up and
overthrow Hamas, they own it, they're responsible for it. You
might say it's a dictators Okay, We the American people
(08:44):
are founding fathers, led by George Washington and a rag
tag bunch of swamp foxes and militias, pulled together the
ministers and steel worker Like what.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Do they call him? Blacksmiths?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know, how did that bunch overthrow the greatest military
force of its era, the British Empire, their Royal Navy,
their army. We didn't have great odds if they were
going to be laid in Vegas at that time, in
seventeen seventy six, but we went for it anyway.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was a risk.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
We must all hang together or will surely hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin said, all of them, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson,
John Adams, Washington himself, James Monroe, James Madison, Samuel Adams,
they knew this was maybe not a fool's errand it
(09:40):
was for a just cause. You wanted to be free,
You wanted to declare your independence, you wanted to found
a new nation. But the odds were long, and our
American founding fathers overcame those odds and established this country.
There was a lot of death involved in sacrifice. Was
not going to come easy, It was not going to
come cheap. So I don't want to hear it stories
(10:00):
whether and I support through overthrowing let's say the Mullahs
in Iran, but we can't do that from the outside.
The Iranian people have to want it, and they have
to organize. They have to win over probably the military stage,
a coup, overthrow the leadership and establish a free country.
We did it, We did it. It is incumbent upon
them to do it. So I don't want to hear
(10:22):
it when it comes to the Palestinians and the yoke
of hamas shirt. But they own it. That's their leadership,
that's who represents them. If they don't like it, they
need to do something about it, and they're not. And
in what world history class have you ever learned during
a war were the warring factions that one side is
(10:43):
responsible for the welfare of the civilians of the other side.
Were we flying in aid to the German people during
World War two? Or were we trying to destroy Adolf
Hitler in the Nazis and defeat them. Look up the
number of civilian casualties that took place during World War Two.
(11:03):
It will blow your mind if you haven't done it before.
Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands in Germany. In Great Britain,
Keep calm and carry on, Winston Churchill. There are a
lot of British civilians killed by the dropping of bombs
by the Nazis. We tend to forget this, or you
haven't studied it, or we're now a couple generations removed
(11:25):
from it. So I can't talk to my grandfather about it.
But I know I've done the studying. I've studied the
history of this war as hell. It should be avoided
at all costs, and in some cases it's not avoidable.
World War II, unfortunately, was not avoidable, and millions died.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Millions died. And I don't get it that.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
We have become so super sensitive to the civilians in Gaza,
the Palestinians, and I don't want any of them to
die any innocence. But when you're fighting a war and
one side is so cowardly at being amas, they're willing
to use women and children and the elderly as human shields.
They are willing to stage their military bases underneath schools
(12:09):
and mosques in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
What is Israel supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I've never understood this, even from like a military tactical standpoint,
and they've gone out of their way. Israel has to
notify civilians.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But when you do that, you've got.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Collaborators and sympathizers with the Hamas that will alert the enemy.
How are you supposed to fight a war on those terms.
I don't understand it, and I'm right where Bill Maher is,
and he addresses this very issue that the Democrats they
have a bit of a intafada problem with their young people.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
They're young voters, they're young people their key constituency not
only don't like their own civilization, they like the wrong one.
They actually think Hamas is a liberation movement.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
They chant for the Hoho Thies. They're chanting we.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Will honor our martyrs and Yale they're looking for in
all the wrong countries. Someone needs to tell the kids
that America is not the society where women basically have
no rights, where there's zero freedom of religion, and where
just sent is punishable by death. Our democracy may be
on life support, but we still have elections.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They don't.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And this is where I sided with David Cross, maybe
for the first and only time politically speaking, as he
I thought had some righteous indignation that was legitimate and
calling out the likes of Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle
and many others Luis c k for going over to Riad,
Saudi Arabia and performing for a comedy festival over there
(13:39):
where you know they could not criticize MBS or any
of the leadership regime of Saudi Arabia, and Dave Chappelle
had the nerve to say that he felt freer doing
comedy in Saudi Arabia. Dave, I love you, but STFU
dude and GTFO, you know, damn well, you had to
agree to some kind of condition and terms in which
(14:01):
you would not criticize the regime in Saudi Arabia. You
can make all the Trump jokes you want, and we
joke about he's a dictators. He's trying to take Jimmy
Kimmel and Stephen Colbert off the air. Those two are
losing their shows because they don't get ratings. If they
got ratings CBS, ABC, they would stand by their man
and they would go down in the fight. But it's
not worth it to them because you've amienated half the country.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Continuing now with Bill Maher.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
And yet at Coachella this year, when an Irish rap
group projected onto screens, Israel Free Palestine got big applause.
Globalize the Intifada is the catchphrase that's really catching on
these days, as if worldwide suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic
revolutionaries is the answer to our problems. At an AOC
(14:50):
Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a
Palestinian flag over an American flag and the crowd erupted
in approval. What should have happened after that is one
of the adults on stage should have told their young
royal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
This is he shows the American flag. You talk to,
Bill Maher is one of these rare specimens these days.
It's an endangered species. And that is a classical liberal
who's still pretty damn patriotic about his country. Good luck
finding on the left they are enabling this America hating
(15:30):
far left element, you know, the Zoran.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The Kami Mamdani, that guy.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But how if we just did socialism a different way,
it'll work in New York City. I know it's never
worked anywhere else at all. But capitalism is the root
of all evil, don't you know?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It's greed? Or mar if The thought leaders.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
In the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking the
idea that America is cringe and the people who run
Gaza are great. The Democrats are doomed. Alyssa Slotkin's right.
Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones, and
they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids, a
pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Last election, it was all the.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Gender stuff, the insistence that men can have babies and such,
and now I fear that we like the terrorists is
the new that Liberals need to push back on the
dumb ideas that come from their children. The Democrats' problem
is the energy of the parties with the young and
the younger with the terrorists.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
This is where Ben Shapiro took the conversation yesterday, and
it's glorious and it's hilarious in its irony. It is,
for the most part, those that are extremely liberal that
are supporting violence as a means to an end, that
the assassination of Charlie kirk or a healthcare CEO, was justified.
(16:56):
The further along the coast you live, toward the coast
you live. The more so called college education you have,
the younger you are, and yes what Bill Maher just said,
the whiter you are, the more likely you are to
have this liberal white guilt and overcompensate for it.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's what this is. I'm woke. Please don't hate me.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I don't I don't want to be called racist or xenophobic,
or sexist or misogynist or anything. You know, you can't
help it. You can't apologize enough to these people. So
you genuineflected and you bend the knee, and you become
one of them, and you join the mob.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You join the mob. Mar's final point.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
So talk to your children and remind them you don't
really want to live like your heroes in Hamas. All
you do all day it was all made in America.
Your smartphone, your grub hub, up, your freedom to bitch
about America.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's all American stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You tell your phone you want a milkshake and a
guy brings it to your house.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Please.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You couldn't survive a week living into thought of this.
You're like the girl in White Lotus who is going
to live in a Buddhist monastery and then lasted one
night to.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That point, all these young women. I'm sorry, but it's
college educated white women. We're gonna call it what it is.
And they have a lot of money. They're very wealthy.
It's also directly proportional to how much you support the Intafada,
And it's crazy because what they feature over there is
the complete subjugation of women mandatory jjab You can't drive
(18:30):
a car, you can't own property, you can't vote. How
do you square that left with all these supposed feminist
virtues and values that you hold now, I get second
wave feminism, Glorious Stein and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I don't
understand third wave feminism, in which you want biological men.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
In your locker room, on your sports teams.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
How do you square that with standing up for the
rights of women and not landing on the square where
jk Rowling is. How do you have the nerve to
threaten and to criticize jk Rowling, which she's the one
standing up for women. Even Martina Navratalova, one of the
most liberal women in the world who hates Donald Trump,
(19:14):
is on jk Rowling's side on that one. What happened
to the educated left? They're not so educated after all?
Unlike the changing leaves of fall, which I'll be going
home to observe and witness in the upper Lower Peninsula
of Michigan this weekend, and you can check out everything
(19:37):
going on. Still peak fault colors here, maybe up in
the mountains, but that is waning. Don't waste any more time.
But unlike those changing leaves, our money does not grow
on trees. Now, social security, that's a part of it.
We've talked about that on this program. But you want
a lot of different avenues to work toward your wealth
building and retirement planning. And how do you get there?
(20:00):
Check in with Trajan Wealth. Give them a call to

your future, and do that at seven two oh four

that call, you will be reassured that they have your
best interest in mind as a fiduciary, because when you succeed,
that's how they succeed, and they are interested and they
are invested in your success. It's one thing to say
for retirement, but it's another to feel ready for it.
And Trajan Wealth helped me build a real plan with
less guesswork and more peace of mind. And I really

Speaker 3 (21:15):
It's time to head to Cajuncreole Country with Louisiana Republican
Senator John Kennedy for today's installment of Buy You Bits
of Wisdom on by.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
On on.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
By. Well, let me.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Explain what's going on.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
The country was just rocking along, minding its own business,
and our budget expired midnight two ste night. So the
Republicans went to the Democrats and said, well, let's just
extend the then current budget for seven more weeks while
we negotiate a new and to our surprise, the Democrats said, no,
(22:04):
we will not vote to do that. In fact, for
we're shut down government unless you agree to give us
one point five trillion dollars and we'll tell you how
to spend it. Well, I mean, you know, our heads
snapped back. Look, I wasn't about to vote for that.
My mother didn't raise a fool, and if she did,
(22:25):
it was one of my brothers. And every Republican felt
the same way.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Senator John Kennedy, there's only one like him, Republican Louisiana,
explaining what the Democrats are angling for, and he's not
gonna buy it. He's not going to fall for it,
and neither is our next guest. Representative Gibe Evans, eighth
Congressional District joins us on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Congressman Evans, thanks for your time. As always, it's all
he's good to be on with you now.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Senator Kennedy said that his mother didn't raise a fool,
and if it was, it was one of his brothers.
Did your mom raise any fools, not you one of
your siblings.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Well, I'm the oldest of four boys, you know, so
I'm sure we would. We would all have our opinion
depending on the particular day of the week on you know,
who's doing the smart things are and you know it's
four boys, right.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I was going to say, your mother deserves I think
consideration for sainthood having raised four boys.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But rather than go down kind of memory lane with
your family there, we're dealing in the here and now.
And what Senator Kennedy is you know, making light of,
but it's a serious topic is the shutdown of our government.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And Gabe, I think it's important for.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Our listeners to know exactly what you are dealing with
there in the House with this clean bill, this continuing
resolution that is identical, I believe in virtually every way
is the last one that was passed. So why are
the Democrats choosing to obstruct it now? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
So, in DC slang, clean CR clean continuing resolution means
a preservation of the status quo. Whatever is currently funded,
We continue to fund that at current levels. There's no
backroom deals, there's no sneaky poison pills or anything.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Like that.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
It's truly a continuation of the status quo. This is
how the Democrats kept the government funded under Biden thirteen times.
Their problem is earlier this year, Republicans, and you know,
Senator Kennedy mentioned that one point five trillion dollars. I
don't think that number is an accident, because earlier this year,
Republicans cut one point five trillion dollars of deficit spending,
(24:29):
of fraud, waste, and abuse out of the federal budget,
and we put some common sense reforms in place, things
like no taxpayer money going to illegal immigrant health care.
We gave tax cuts to the tune of in my
district it's about three thousand dollars for every taxpayer, about
three thousand dollars worth of tax cuts for hardworking Americans,
(24:52):
and Colorado's again to the tune of about one point
five trillion dollars that we reduced in deficit spending. Democrats
can't stand that, and so they are trying to roll
back all of those different reforms and tax cuts that
we made. And that's why, you know, I think the
price tag for their proposal to fund the government is
(25:13):
one point five trillion dollars more in deficits spending, because
that's all the stuff that we cut out in terms
of broad waste and abuse earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It doesn't make any sense politically that they would assume
or expect that Republicans would just seed that ground right back,
because Congressman Evans, you know, I can think back to
a Biden administration that ram rotted a so called Inflation
Reduction Act through without a single Republican vote. The Republicans
were in the minority, and they weren't going to die
on that hill politically, mainly because I think the mainstream
(25:42):
media would have given them all hell, which of course
is not happening to the Democrats right now. But I
don't remember the Biden administration seeding any ground after getting
that political victory.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
To you, well, let's talk about the Inflation Reduction Act,
because that's one of the smoke and mirrors things that
the Democrats are pulling out right now. When they ramrodded
some of their signature pieces of legislation through when they
had the House, the Senate and Biden as the president.
One of the things that they did was they removed
(26:13):
the income cap to qualify for a federal subsidy to
co pay for healthcare. So when the Democrats talk now about, oh,
we're trying to have affordable healthcare for everyone, what they're
really saying is they want to continue the Biden era
COVID era policy by which somebody that's making five hundred
thousand dollars a year can still go get a subsidy
(26:33):
to help pay for healthcare. And as we all know
federal subsidies, that money doesn't just grow on trees. That's
coming from the pockets of hard working Americans. And so
the question a lot of Republicans have been asking is
why should somebody that's making seventy or eighty thousand dollars
a year pay to go subsidize somebody that's making solid
six figures two, three four, five thousand dollars, Because that
(26:55):
was something that the Democrats ramrodded onto the American people
under Biden during covid.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Congressman Gabe Evans joining US eighth Congressional District. Many of
you are lucky enough to have him as you're a
member of the House. I got stuck with Jason Crowe.
I might just move, but you're looking at the Democrats
in the Senate, and I know this is the other
governing body, Congressman Evans, and you guys have passed it
through the House, so you're just waiting on Chuck Schumer
and the Democrats got to peel off. I believe it's
(27:22):
seven of them to get to the number sixty of
filibuster proof majority, and that's not happening. And two of
the culprits are two that are representing the state of Colorado.
As you posted here on Acts quote, for the fifth time,
Senator Hick and Senator Bennett voted to block a clean
bill to reopen the government, denying paychecks and critical services
to thousands of Colorado's. They've once again proven they'll put
(27:44):
political stunts over the American people.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
This is unacceptable.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Now, the dissonance on their side, Representative Evans, is that
they're going to be claiming the Republicans.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Are shutting down the government. It's the Republicans that are.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Denying these paychecks to federal workers in healthcare, don't you know,
to Colorado citizens and American citizens, And they will deny
that any of those benefits are going to illegal aliens.
But this is an issue that you, in particular Gabe
has stood firm on and it's one word, in my
view fungible. Can you explain that to our audience as
to why absolutely Democrats want funding of healthcare services for
(28:20):
illegal aliens.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Yeah, it's really not that hard to wrap your mind
around because you can go see it in their own words,
or in the case of the two senators, you mentioned
the fact that back in twenty nineteen, when both of
them were running in the Democrat primary for presidents, there
was a debate question that was asked to them, will
your healthcare plan cover illegal immigrants? And on stage on
(28:45):
TV National TV, both of our current US senators here
in Colorado raised their hand and said, yes, their healthcare
plan will cover illegal immigrants. You can look at the
state of Colorado, which earlier this year, despite the so
called one point two billion dollar budget defail set, which
I disagree with, but that's a different topic. Earlier this year,
the state of Colorado voted to give ninety four million
(29:07):
taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants for healthcare here in the
state of Colorado. And again you don't have to take
my word for it. You can go to the official
website for that healthcare run here in the state of Colorado,
where it clearly says, this is the state medicaid program.
Your immigration status shouldn't deter you will take anybody, regardless
of your status, and enroll you in the state medicaid
(29:28):
program here in Colorado. It's on their website.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
That's right there, Congressman Evans, as you kind of watch
this play out, and there's not a whole lot you
can do personally. President Trump has said he'll meet with
Democratic leadership and try to hammer something out. I'm not
sure where that's going to go. And I'm not sure
I haven't seen the latest Senate vote if any Democrats
have come over, maybe even John Fetterman, the only moderate
Democrat in my view in the Senate.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But how do you see this playing out?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Will the Democrats finally give in having kind of given
this the hat tip to their left base.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
You've had three Democrat senators vote with the Republicans the
last couple of vote series Fetterman's one. You've got two
others that have joined with the Republicans. I think your
next big benchmark, you know where the pressure in this
showdown is really going to increase, is October fifteenth. And
the reason for that is, you know, you know my background,
(30:22):
I was in the army for twelve years. Military gets
paid on the first and the fifteenth of the month,
so all of the military got their paycheck.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I big gloss Gabe there just for a moment, see
if he comes back on with Shannon there, But just
to fill in the gaps there on the information that
he mentioned. The three Democrat senators, or at least those
that caucus with Democrats who joined the Republicans in voting
for the clean bill to continuing resolution, we're John Fetterman
of Pennsylvania, Senator Catherine Cortes Masto on Nevada, and Independent
(30:54):
Senator Angus King of Maine. So it looks like we're
going to have a cliffhanger there. We might have join
us if he's got something to add on the other side,
but in the meantime, we'll take this time out and
come back. He's back, Okay, sorry, Live Radio. We'll just
have him put a fine point on it and.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Need to grab that line right there.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, and Gabe just continue your thought you talked about
serving in the military, and just kind of wrap that
point up if you would please.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, I have four bars. I don't know what happened
there anyway. Yeah, I served in the military. You get
paid on the first and fifteenth. If we don't get
the government opened, then the fifteenth is where service members
are going to actually start going without a paycheck. And
the votes are very, very clear. The Democrats have voted
against the bill to open the government, so they can
(31:42):
blame and point fingers all the time, but the fact
of the matter is if seven Democrats vote with Republicans,
the government opens up because the Republicans have voted to
keep the government open.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Keep an eye.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
That's Representative Gabe Evans joining us some cell phone problems.
They're proof that the show is indeed live, as the
title of the show suggests, Ryan Schueling Live. You can
follow him at Rep. Gabe Evans. But my fine point
that I'll put on this whole conversation. So you got
fifty three Republicans, you gotta get to sixty for a
filibuster proof majority. Fetterman's already along with it. He is
(32:14):
going to soar to reelection. He's one of the few
Democrats that I think is in store for that coming
up in twenty twenty six. Cortes Masto, She's in a
purple state that recently went read that's Nevada.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
She's not stupid.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
And Senator Ingus King also in a purple state in Maine,
keep an eye. So that's three Democrats coming over for
a total of fifty six. There need to be four
more Democrats. I'm telling you right now. As a Michigan native,
Alissa Slotkin, she can't afford to stay on this hill.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
She cannot.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
She knows that Michigan's a purple state that Trump won
twice out of three times. So these purple state senators,
especially those that are coming up a reelection in twenty
twenty six, keep an eye on John Ausoff Georgia. He's
on the ballot. Those types, they're gonna fold because they
have to. They're political future depends on it. They cannot
keep the government closed. And that'll close the topic for
(33:05):
right now. We'll come back wrap up our number one
of Ryan Schuling Live. After these words two minute warning
before halftime here on Ryan Shuling Live.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The kids call it RSL. I don't know that they
call it that.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I just said that, But Shannon Scott is on either
side of the glass and he might call it that.
The Detroit Connection re established and in real time, if
you're listening live. We are still waiting on first pitch
for the Mariners and Tigers in the American League Division Series,
Game three, series tied one game apiece. I'm a nervous wreck.
I'm trying to do this and get through it with
(33:39):
all of you. Get through this. That was the album
by Hole in Courtney Love from the mid nineties, as
written by Kurt Cobain. That's my theory and I'm sticking
to it. Let's go to the tax five seven seven
three nine, Ryan, it is far safer in bag Dad,
ah Rock than it.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Is in Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You might not be far off there, and I don't
know that the people of Baghdad would be riling up
and protesting against those trying to keep their straights safe.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What do the Democrats love about crime? They love crime.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
They love it. They don't want to get rid of it.
They want to wear it like a badge of honor.
They don't want any help in getting rid of it.
They're gun crime in Chicago off the chart. They just
blame Indiana because what they think is now people just
go to Gary, Indiana, across the border and get their
guns and then come back to Chicago and kill a
bunch of people. But if you outlawed all guns, If
you outlawed all guns, there would still be a massive
(34:34):
amount of murders in Chicago with the strictest gun laws
in the world. Why well, because criminals by definition break laws.
They're not going to obey gun laws, so they'll continue
to commit crimes. They'll continue to get guns, and the
crimes that are being committed are being committed with handguns, which, again,
unless you outlaw all guns, which don't be fooled, a
(34:57):
lot of Democrats want to do just that, then you're
not gonna get rid of.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
The crimes in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Ryan our I should say the lefts softness is like
the ultimate and permissive parenting. It creates horrible behavior and entitlement,
and it's born from weakness and fear.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Everyone suffers. It's sick. You're right. It is the spoiled
rich kid phenomenon.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
These youngsters haven't had to go through a hard time,
so they don't know what hard times are. Daddy, as
Dusty Rhodess the American Dream used to say in wrestling
back in the eighties, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
When they don't have real problems.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
They have boutique kind of luxury problems and then they
wear a cafea and post for a selfie in front
of ballerina.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Did you see that one Shannon from about a year ago.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
My god, these three like college age women, maybe mid
twenties somewhere in there.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
They're like, uh, it's cafea.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Day's in Defada day. Like what, Ryan, Wait, you're going
to the upper Lower Peninsula of Michigan. You mean the
northern Lower Peninsula. Is there a lower Upper Peninsula too?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
You're You're wrong.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
No, oh no, I'm going to northern Lower Michigan. It's
in the lower Peninsula. That's what the lower means. Northern
portion of the Lower Peninsula is. Like you know Saint
Ignas Maginaw City, you know that bridge that connects the two.
That's what I'm talking about, Potaski. It's beautiful there. Stay
tuned more RSL straight ahead
Whatever you want to call me, Zionist baby, this, anything
you want to I'm begging you right now, all of us,
all of you, all of us, the entire world, for Hamasta,
please take this deal. For everybody to encourage that, because
if it's not taken now, if you think it's been bad,
(00:21):
it is going to get bad for the people that
you say you care so much about.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm saying that from the bottom of my heart.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And I believe in Michael Rapaport, pro Israel Jewish comedian.
He has really changed I think his whole perspective, his worldview,
his reality based on the events of October seventh, two
years ago. And he posted that video as part of
his podcast I Am Rapaport on x and that was
(00:49):
a portion of it. And he was talking to the
pro Palestine crowd, which we'll get to in just a moment,
those that are rooting for Romaus, rooting to global the Intafada,
chanting from the river to the sea. Palestine must be free,
which means of course, the eradication, the erasure of Israel.
(01:10):
But that Rapaport has a bigger prize in mind tells
you I think a lot about him as a person
that he's willing to put all that aside to end
this war, to return the hostages and the bodies of hostages,
which in my cynical but I think reality based view.
If I was advising BB Nat Yaho and Israel, it
(01:34):
would be with the assumption go in with the assumption
that worst case scenario, all of the hostages are deceased.
I don't know that there's proof of life videos recently
for any of them. There might be some still alive,
and that would be a pleasant surprise. But unfortunately, with
the brutality that we've seen from Homas, the lack of
humanity from them, they are a terrorist organization that rules
(01:57):
by FIAT over Gaza voted in and Dan and I
have had debates about that, whether it was legitimate, whether
the elections were fake. They haven't held elections since that
was going back to about two thousand and seven. But
as with any populace, it is incumbent upon the people
to rise from wherever they are, the squalor the despair,
(02:23):
and to launch a revolution of their own. This cannot
happen and be forced upon them from without. We learn
that the hard way, unfortunately, in my opinion, in both
Afghanistan and Iraq, that we can't go around nation building
through wars of misadventure. It didn't work in Vietnam certainly
did not, and it just won't work. We will not
(02:44):
be greeted as liberators. As Dick Cheney infamously once said,
it is not mission accomplished. As the banner behind President
George W. Bush aboard the aircraft carrier said when Saddam
Hussein was deposed in Iraq, there is so much more
complication to the thousands of years of history in that
(03:06):
region than I think many of us are able to comprehend.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And I say that for myself as well.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't understand all the customs, the rituals, the history,
the brutality of that region. I don't. I did not
grow up in it. I'm not familiar with it. I
haven't lived it. I'm not going to pretend that I do.
And I think it comes with that humility when you
approach a situation that sure our way of life for us,
(03:33):
Western civilization founded upon Judeo Christian work, ethic and values,
a nation built upon a declaration of independence and a
constitution that has lasted now almost two hundred and fifty years,
but think about everything we've been through over that quarter
of a millennia to get to where we are now,
and still and still not all of our problems are solved.
(03:54):
So for us to have the audacity, the arrogance to
believe that we can go around and just change the
world with a stroke of our pen or a wave
of a wand, or a dropping of a bomb, or
a conquering of a dictator overthrowing that dictator, it is foolhardy,
It is foolish, It is naive. And I don't subscribe
(04:18):
to that any longer as it maybe I once did.
I think many of us were fooled, those of us
who supported George W. Bush for two terms. And I did,
And if I had it to do over again, I
would still vote for George W. Bush over Al Gore
John Kerry. That was an easy call for me both times.
I think on the whole, President George W. Bush meant
(04:40):
to do the right things, did some of the right things.
I think he fell short in many ways where President
Trump is delivering. One of the things that President George W.
Bush wanted to do during his eight years in office,
and it never even really got to the table, was
to privatize social Security, and that scares a lot of people.
What should scare you more is that the government it
runs our social security. That any government run program is
(05:04):
going to be subject to waste, fraud, and.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Abuse, as we've seen with DOGE, to delays.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
In service, as we've seen with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Not to pick on anybody, but as you observe any
government run endeavor, it is not fueled on efficiency.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
In fact, that is not a primary motive.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
When the government doesn't have to compete in the private
market enterprise of ideas, consumer goods, and services, you had
better get the job done at a high level or
somebody else is going to beat you.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And that is the beauty of capitalism and.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Why state, central government run programs are almost always destined
to fail. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. I know
that sounds like an oversimplification. Look that term up, What
does it mean? What is it reference? It is kicking
the can down the road, hoping and counting upon younger
(05:58):
workers to contribute their hard earned dollars into a program
to fuel and fund those retirees who are now in
a position to collect. And I know the argument, and
I get it from a lot of you. Hey, I
paid into it. Yeah, are you going to see a
return on that investment. It's the worst investment structure ever
devised by the American government.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And had George W.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Bush allowed for something along the lines of as I
work in a show sponsor Trajan wealth to build your well,
to have a motivation and incentive structure for that to happen,
then you would see maybe tenfold, perhaps even higher, of
a program that is destined for success based on the
(06:41):
American dollar, based on the American stock market, through smart
systemic investments over the long term. Social Security counts on
another couple of things, the retirement age of sixty five,
which at the time it was founded, we're talking nineteen thirties,
the life expectancy was much lower than it is now.
(07:02):
I mean, on average, you can count on the average
person living what eighty one maybe eighty three years if
you're a female, that's sixteen eighteen years of collecting beyond
the sixty five retirement age of Social Security. And who's
going to pay into that. We're not having as many kids,
our population is on the decline. We don't have enough
workers to replace the ones that are retiring.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What do you think is going to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Everything's going to fall under the weight of itself and
fall apart. So it was never a good idea to
begin with. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions,
but it was not smart. It was not business savvy.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That model.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It's erroneous. That all being said, five seven seventh, three nine.
You can contribute texts to the program today again. October seventh,
twenty twenty five, marking two years since Hamas invaded Israel, kidnapped, raped, murdered,
(08:00):
burned alive many Jewish Israeli citizens who were innocent, many
of whom were young people attending a music festival. And
I would venture to say many in attendance at that
music festival would have, in theory maybe supported a Palestinian state.
(08:22):
Maybe we're more left of center politically certainly than me personally,
or maybe you out there in our listening audience. But
that's not how Hamas operates again as a terrorist organization.
And until or unless the Palestinian people rise up and
overthrow Hamas, they own it, they're responsible for it. You
might say it's a dictators Okay, We the American people
(08:44):
are founding fathers, led by George Washington and a rag
tag bunch of swamp foxes and militias, pulled together the
ministers and steel worker Like what.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Do they call him? Blacksmiths?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know, how did that bunch overthrow the greatest military
force of its era, the British Empire, their Royal Navy,
their army. We didn't have great odds if they were
going to be laid in Vegas at that time, in
seventeen seventy six, but we went for it anyway.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was a risk.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
We must all hang together or will surely hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin said, all of them, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson,
John Adams, Washington himself, James Monroe, James Madison, Samuel Adams,
they knew this was maybe not a fool's errand it
(09:40):
was for a just cause. You wanted to be free,
You wanted to declare your independence, you wanted to found
a new nation. But the odds were long, and our
American founding fathers overcame those odds and established this country.
There was a lot of death involved in sacrifice. Was
not going to come easy, It was not going to
come cheap. So I don't want to hear it stories
(10:00):
whether and I support through overthrowing let's say the Mullahs
in Iran, but we can't do that from the outside.
The Iranian people have to want it, and they have
to organize. They have to win over probably the military stage,
a coup, overthrow the leadership and establish a free country.
We did it, We did it. It is incumbent upon
them to do it. So I don't want to hear
(10:22):
it when it comes to the Palestinians and the yoke
of hamas shirt. But they own it. That's their leadership,
that's who represents them. If they don't like it, they
need to do something about it, and they're not. And
in what world history class have you ever learned during
a war were the warring factions that one side is
(10:43):
responsible for the welfare of the civilians of the other side.
Were we flying in aid to the German people during
World War two? Or were we trying to destroy Adolf
Hitler in the Nazis and defeat them. Look up the
number of civilian casualties that took place during World War Two.
(11:03):
It will blow your mind if you haven't done it before.
Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands in Germany. In Great Britain,
Keep calm and carry on, Winston Churchill. There are a
lot of British civilians killed by the dropping of bombs
by the Nazis. We tend to forget this, or you
haven't studied it, or we're now a couple generations removed
(11:25):
from it. So I can't talk to my grandfather about it.
But I know I've done the studying. I've studied the
history of this war as hell. It should be avoided
at all costs, and in some cases it's not avoidable.
World War II, unfortunately, was not avoidable, and millions died.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Millions died. And I don't get it that.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
We have become so super sensitive to the civilians in Gaza,
the Palestinians, and I don't want any of them to
die any innocence. But when you're fighting a war and
one side is so cowardly at being amas, they're willing
to use women and children and the elderly as human shields.
They are willing to stage their military bases underneath schools
(12:09):
and mosques in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
What is Israel supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I've never understood this, even from like a military tactical standpoint,
and they've gone out of their way. Israel has to
notify civilians.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But when you do that, you've got.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Collaborators and sympathizers with the Hamas that will alert the enemy.
How are you supposed to fight a war on those terms.
I don't understand it, and I'm right where Bill Maher is,
and he addresses this very issue that the Democrats they
have a bit of a intafada problem with their young people.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
They're young voters, they're young people their key constituency not
only don't like their own civilization, they like the wrong one.
They actually think Hamas is a liberation movement.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
They chant for the Hoho Thies. They're chanting we.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Will honor our martyrs and Yale they're looking for in
all the wrong countries. Someone needs to tell the kids
that America is not the society where women basically have
no rights, where there's zero freedom of religion, and where
just sent is punishable by death. Our democracy may be
on life support, but we still have elections.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They don't.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And this is where I sided with David Cross, maybe
for the first and only time politically speaking, as he
I thought had some righteous indignation that was legitimate and
calling out the likes of Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle
and many others Luis c k for going over to Riad,
Saudi Arabia and performing for a comedy festival over there
(13:39):
where you know they could not criticize MBS or any
of the leadership regime of Saudi Arabia, and Dave Chappelle
had the nerve to say that he felt freer doing
comedy in Saudi Arabia. Dave, I love you, but STFU
dude and GTFO, you know, damn well, you had to
agree to some kind of condition and terms in which
(14:01):
you would not criticize the regime in Saudi Arabia. You
can make all the Trump jokes you want, and we
joke about he's a dictators. He's trying to take Jimmy
Kimmel and Stephen Colbert off the air. Those two are
losing their shows because they don't get ratings. If they
got ratings CBS, ABC, they would stand by their man
and they would go down in the fight. But it's
not worth it to them because you've amienated half the country.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Continuing now with Bill Maher.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
And yet at Coachella this year, when an Irish rap
group projected onto screens, Israel Free Palestine got big applause.
Globalize the Intifada is the catchphrase that's really catching on
these days, as if worldwide suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic
revolutionaries is the answer to our problems. At an AOC
(14:50):
Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a
Palestinian flag over an American flag and the crowd erupted
in approval. What should have happened after that is one
of the adults on stage should have told their young
royal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
This is he shows the American flag. You talk to,
Bill Maher is one of these rare specimens these days.
It's an endangered species. And that is a classical liberal
who's still pretty damn patriotic about his country. Good luck
finding on the left they are enabling this America hating
(15:30):
far left element, you know, the Zoran.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The Kami Mamdani, that guy.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But how if we just did socialism a different way,
it'll work in New York City. I know it's never
worked anywhere else at all. But capitalism is the root
of all evil, don't you know?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It's greed? Or mar if The thought leaders.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
In the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking the
idea that America is cringe and the people who run
Gaza are great. The Democrats are doomed. Alyssa Slotkin's right.
Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones, and
they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids, a
pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Last election, it was all the.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Gender stuff, the insistence that men can have babies and such,
and now I fear that we like the terrorists is
the new that Liberals need to push back on the
dumb ideas that come from their children. The Democrats' problem
is the energy of the parties with the young and
the younger with the terrorists.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
This is where Ben Shapiro took the conversation yesterday, and
it's glorious and it's hilarious in its irony. It is,
for the most part, those that are extremely liberal that
are supporting violence as a means to an end, that
the assassination of Charlie kirk or a healthcare CEO, was justified.
(16:56):
The further along the coast you live, toward the coast
you live. The more so called college education you have,
the younger you are, and yes what Bill Maher just said,
the whiter you are, the more likely you are to
have this liberal white guilt and overcompensate for it.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's what this is. I'm woke. Please don't hate me.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I don't I don't want to be called racist or xenophobic,
or sexist or misogynist or anything. You know, you can't
help it. You can't apologize enough to these people. So
you genuineflected and you bend the knee, and you become
one of them, and you join the mob.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You join the mob. Mar's final point.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
So talk to your children and remind them you don't
really want to live like your heroes in Hamas. All
you do all day it was all made in America.
Your smartphone, your grub hub, up, your freedom to bitch
about America.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's all American stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You tell your phone you want a milkshake and a
guy brings it to your house.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Please.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You couldn't survive a week living into thought of this.
You're like the girl in White Lotus who is going
to live in a Buddhist monastery and then lasted one
night to.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That point, all these young women. I'm sorry, but it's
college educated white women. We're gonna call it what it is.
And they have a lot of money. They're very wealthy.
It's also directly proportional to how much you support the Intafada,
And it's crazy because what they feature over there is
the complete subjugation of women mandatory jjab You can't drive
(18:30):
a car, you can't own property, you can't vote. How
do you square that left with all these supposed feminist
virtues and values that you hold now, I get second
wave feminism, Glorious Stein and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I don't
understand third wave feminism, in which you want biological men.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
In your locker room, on your sports teams.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
How do you square that with standing up for the
rights of women and not landing on the square where
jk Rowling is. How do you have the nerve to
threaten and to criticize jk Rowling, which she's the one
standing up for women. Even Martina Navratalova, one of the
most liberal women in the world who hates Donald Trump,
(19:14):
is on jk Rowling's side on that one. What happened
to the educated left? They're not so educated after all?
Unlike the changing leaves of fall, which I'll be going
home to observe and witness in the upper Lower Peninsula
of Michigan this weekend, and you can check out everything
(19:37):
going on. Still peak fault colors here, maybe up in
the mountains, but that is waning. Don't waste any more time.
But unlike those changing leaves, our money does not grow
on trees. Now, social security, that's a part of it.

a lot of different avenues to work toward your wealth
building and retirement planning. And how do you get there?

Speaker 3 (21:15):
It's time to head to Cajuncreole Country with Louisiana Republican
Senator John Kennedy for today's installment of Buy You Bits
of Wisdom on by.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
On on.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
By. Well, let me.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Explain what's going on.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
The country was just rocking along, minding its own business,
and our budget expired midnight two ste night. So the
Republicans went to the Democrats and said, well, let's just
extend the then current budget for seven more weeks while
we negotiate a new and to our surprise, the Democrats said, no,
(22:04):
we will not vote to do that. In fact, for
we're shut down government unless you agree to give us
one point five trillion dollars and we'll tell you how
to spend it. Well, I mean, you know, our heads
snapped back. Look, I wasn't about to vote for that.
My mother didn't raise a fool, and if she did,
(22:25):
it was one of my brothers. And every Republican felt
the same way.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Senator John Kennedy, there's only one like him, Republican Louisiana,
explaining what the Democrats are angling for, and he's not
gonna buy it. He's not going to fall for it,
and neither is our next guest. Representative Gibe Evans, eighth
Congressional District joins us on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Congressman Evans, thanks for your time. As always, it's all
he's good to be on with you now.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Senator Kennedy said that his mother didn't raise a fool,
and if it was, it was one of his brothers.
Did your mom raise any fools, not you one of
your siblings.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Well, I'm the oldest of four boys, you know, so
I'm sure we would. We would all have our opinion
depending on the particular day of the week on you know,
who's doing the smart things are and you know it's
four boys, right.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I was going to say, your mother deserves I think
consideration for sainthood having raised four boys.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But rather than go down kind of memory lane with
your family there, we're dealing in the here and now.
And what Senator Kennedy is you know, making light of,
but it's a serious topic is the shutdown of our government.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And Gabe, I think it's important for.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Our listeners to know exactly what you are dealing with
there in the House with this clean bill, this continuing
resolution that is identical, I believe in virtually every way
is the last one that was passed. So why are
the Democrats choosing to obstruct it now? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
So, in DC slang, clean CR clean continuing resolution means
a preservation of the status quo. Whatever is currently funded,
We continue to fund that at current levels. There's no
backroom deals, there's no sneaky poison pills or anything.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Like that.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
It's truly a continuation of the status quo. This is
how the Democrats kept the government funded under Biden thirteen times.
Their problem is earlier this year, Republicans, and you know,
Senator Kennedy mentioned that one point five trillion dollars. I
don't think that number is an accident, because earlier this year,
Republicans cut one point five trillion dollars of deficit spending,
(24:29):
of fraud, waste, and abuse out of the federal budget,
and we put some common sense reforms in place, things
like no taxpayer money going to illegal immigrant health care.
We gave tax cuts to the tune of in my
district it's about three thousand dollars for every taxpayer, about
three thousand dollars worth of tax cuts for hardworking Americans,
(24:52):
and Colorado's again to the tune of about one point
five trillion dollars that we reduced in deficit spending. Democrats
can't stand that, and so they are trying to roll
back all of those different reforms and tax cuts that
we made. And that's why, you know, I think the
price tag for their proposal to fund the government is
(25:13):
one point five trillion dollars more in deficits spending, because
that's all the stuff that we cut out in terms
of broad waste and abuse earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It doesn't make any sense politically that they would assume
or expect that Republicans would just seed that ground right back,
because Congressman Evans, you know, I can think back to
a Biden administration that ram rotted a so called Inflation
Reduction Act through without a single Republican vote. The Republicans
were in the minority, and they weren't going to die
on that hill politically, mainly because I think the mainstream
(25:42):
media would have given them all hell, which of course
is not happening to the Democrats right now. But I
don't remember the Biden administration seeding any ground after getting
that political victory.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
To you, well, let's talk about the Inflation Reduction Act,
because that's one of the smoke and mirrors things that
the Democrats are pulling out right now. When they ramrodded
some of their signature pieces of legislation through when they
had the House, the Senate and Biden as the president.
One of the things that they did was they removed
(26:13):
the income cap to qualify for a federal subsidy to
co pay for healthcare. So when the Democrats talk now about, oh,
we're trying to have affordable healthcare for everyone, what they're
really saying is they want to continue the Biden era
COVID era policy by which somebody that's making five hundred
thousand dollars a year can still go get a subsidy
(26:33):
to help pay for healthcare. And as we all know
federal subsidies, that money doesn't just grow on trees. That's
coming from the pockets of hard working Americans. And so
the question a lot of Republicans have been asking is
why should somebody that's making seventy or eighty thousand dollars
a year pay to go subsidize somebody that's making solid
six figures two, three four, five thousand dollars, Because that
(26:55):
was something that the Democrats ramrodded onto the American people
under Biden during covid.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Congressman Gabe Evans joining US eighth Congressional District. Many of
you are lucky enough to have him as you're a
member of the House. I got stuck with Jason Crowe.
I might just move, but you're looking at the Democrats
in the Senate, and I know this is the other
governing body, Congressman Evans, and you guys have passed it
through the House, so you're just waiting on Chuck Schumer
and the Democrats got to peel off. I believe it's
(27:22):
seven of them to get to the number sixty of
filibuster proof majority, and that's not happening. And two of
the culprits are two that are representing the state of Colorado.
As you posted here on Acts quote, for the fifth time,
Senator Hick and Senator Bennett voted to block a clean
bill to reopen the government, denying paychecks and critical services
to thousands of Colorado's. They've once again proven they'll put
(27:44):
political stunts over the American people.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
This is unacceptable.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Now, the dissonance on their side, Representative Evans, is that
they're going to be claiming the Republicans.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Are shutting down the government. It's the Republicans that are.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Denying these paychecks to federal workers in healthcare, don't you know,
to Colorado citizens and American citizens, And they will deny
that any of those benefits are going to illegal aliens.
But this is an issue that you, in particular Gabe
has stood firm on and it's one word, in my
view fungible. Can you explain that to our audience as
to why absolutely Democrats want funding of healthcare services for
(28:20):
illegal aliens.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Yeah, it's really not that hard to wrap your mind
around because you can go see it in their own words,
or in the case of the two senators, you mentioned
the fact that back in twenty nineteen, when both of
them were running in the Democrat primary for presidents, there
was a debate question that was asked to them, will
your healthcare plan cover illegal immigrants? And on stage on
(28:45):
TV National TV, both of our current US senators here
in Colorado raised their hand and said, yes, their healthcare
plan will cover illegal immigrants. You can look at the
state of Colorado, which earlier this year, despite the so
called one point two billion dollar budget defail set, which
I disagree with, but that's a different topic. Earlier this year,
the state of Colorado voted to give ninety four million
(29:07):
taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants for healthcare here in the
state of Colorado. And again you don't have to take
my word for it. You can go to the official
website for that healthcare run here in the state of Colorado,
where it clearly says, this is the state medicaid program.
Your immigration status shouldn't deter you will take anybody, regardless
of your status, and enroll you in the state medicaid
(29:28):
program here in Colorado. It's on their website.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
That's right there, Congressman Evans, as you kind of watch
this play out, and there's not a whole lot you
can do personally. President Trump has said he'll meet with
Democratic leadership and try to hammer something out. I'm not
sure where that's going to go. And I'm not sure
I haven't seen the latest Senate vote if any Democrats
have come over, maybe even John Fetterman, the only moderate
Democrat in my view in the Senate.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But how do you see this playing out?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Will the Democrats finally give in having kind of given
this the hat tip to their left base.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
You've had three Democrat senators vote with the Republicans the
last couple of vote series Fetterman's one. You've got two
others that have joined with the Republicans. I think your
next big benchmark, you know where the pressure in this
showdown is really going to increase, is October fifteenth. And
the reason for that is, you know, you know my background,
(30:22):
I was in the army for twelve years. Military gets
paid on the first and the fifteenth of the month,
so all of the military got their paycheck.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I big gloss Gabe there just for a moment, see
if he comes back on with Shannon there, But just
to fill in the gaps there on the information that
he mentioned. The three Democrat senators, or at least those
that caucus with Democrats who joined the Republicans in voting
for the clean bill to continuing resolution, we're John Fetterman
of Pennsylvania, Senator Catherine Cortes Masto on Nevada, and Independent
(30:54):
Senator Angus King of Maine. So it looks like we're
going to have a cliffhanger there. We might have join
us if he's got something to add on the other side,
but in the meantime, we'll take this time out and
come back. He's back, Okay, sorry, Live Radio. We'll just
have him put a fine point on it and.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Need to grab that line right there.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, and Gabe just continue your thought you talked about
serving in the military, and just kind of wrap that
point up if you would please.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, I have four bars. I don't know what happened
there anyway. Yeah, I served in the military. You get
paid on the first and fifteenth. If we don't get
the government opened, then the fifteenth is where service members
are going to actually start going without a paycheck. And
the votes are very, very clear. The Democrats have voted
against the bill to open the government, so they can
(31:42):
blame and point fingers all the time, but the fact
of the matter is if seven Democrats vote with Republicans,
the government opens up because the Republicans have voted to
keep the government open.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Keep an eye.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
That's Representative Gabe Evans joining us some cell phone problems.
They're proof that the show is indeed live, as the
title of the show suggests, Ryan Schueling Live. You can
follow him at Rep. Gabe Evans. But my fine point
that I'll put on this whole conversation. So you got
fifty three Republicans, you gotta get to sixty for a
filibuster proof majority. Fetterman's already along with it. He is
(32:14):
going to soar to reelection. He's one of the few
Democrats that I think is in store for that coming
up in twenty twenty six. Cortes Masto, She's in a
purple state that recently went read that's Nevada.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
She's not stupid.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
And Senator Ingus King also in a purple state in Maine,
keep an eye. So that's three Democrats coming over for
a total of fifty six. There need to be four
more Democrats. I'm telling you right now. As a Michigan native,
Alissa Slotkin, she can't afford to stay on this hill.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
She cannot.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
She knows that Michigan's a purple state that Trump won
twice out of three times. So these purple state senators,
especially those that are coming up a reelection in twenty
twenty six, keep an eye on John Ausoff Georgia. He's
on the ballot. Those types, they're gonna fold because they
have to. They're political future depends on it. They cannot
keep the government closed. And that'll close the topic for
(33:05):
right now. We'll come back wrap up our number one
of Ryan Schuling Live. After these words two minute warning
before halftime here on Ryan Shuling Live.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The kids call it RSL. I don't know that they
call it that.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I just said that, But Shannon Scott is on either
side of the glass and he might call it that.
The Detroit Connection re established and in real time, if
you're listening live. We are still waiting on first pitch
for the Mariners and Tigers in the American League Division Series,
Game three, series tied one game apiece. I'm a nervous wreck.
I'm trying to do this and get through it with
(33:39):
all of you. Get through this. That was the album
by Hole in Courtney Love from the mid nineties, as
written by Kurt Cobain. That's my theory and I'm sticking
to it. Let's go to the tax five seven seven
three nine, Ryan, it is far safer in bag Dad,
ah Rock than it.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Is in Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You might not be far off there, and I don't
know that the people of Baghdad would be riling up
and protesting against those trying to keep their straights safe.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What do the Democrats love about crime? They love crime.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
They love it. They don't want to get rid of it.
They want to wear it like a badge of honor.
They don't want any help in getting rid of it.
They're gun crime in Chicago off the chart. They just
blame Indiana because what they think is now people just
go to Gary, Indiana, across the border and get their
guns and then come back to Chicago and kill a
bunch of people. But if you outlawed all guns, If
you outlawed all guns, there would still be a massive
(34:34):
amount of murders in Chicago with the strictest gun laws
in the world. Why well, because criminals by definition break laws.
They're not going to obey gun laws, so they'll continue
to commit crimes. They'll continue to get guns, and the
crimes that are being committed are being committed with handguns, which, again,
unless you outlaw all guns, which don't be fooled, a
(34:57):
lot of Democrats want to do just that, then you're
not gonna get rid of.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
The crimes in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Ryan our I should say the lefts softness is like
the ultimate and permissive parenting. It creates horrible behavior and entitlement,
and it's born from weakness and fear.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Everyone suffers. It's sick. You're right. It is the spoiled
rich kid phenomenon.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
These youngsters haven't had to go through a hard time,
so they don't know what hard times are. Daddy, as
Dusty Rhodess the American Dream used to say in wrestling
back in the eighties, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
When they don't have real problems.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
They have boutique kind of luxury problems and then they
wear a cafea and post for a selfie in front
of ballerina.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Did you see that one Shannon from about a year ago.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
My god, these three like college age women, maybe mid
twenties somewhere in there.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
They're like, uh, it's cafea.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Day's in Defada day. Like what, Ryan, Wait, you're going
to the upper Lower Peninsula of Michigan. You mean the
northern Lower Peninsula. Is there a lower Upper Peninsula too?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
You're You're wrong.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
No, oh no, I'm going to northern Lower Michigan. It's
in the lower Peninsula. That's what the lower means. Northern
portion of the Lower Peninsula is. Like you know Saint
Ignas Maginaw City, you know that bridge that connects the two.
That's what I'm talking about, Potaski. It's beautiful there. Stay
