The Left - elected Democrats, mainstream media, online influencers - continue to freak out over President Trump's construction on an elegant, privately-funded, ballroom to replace the old East Wing of the White House, while claiming he's only building it because he's not planning to leave once his second term expires.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R, CO-4) joins Ryan to discuss the 'Schumer shutdown' entering Week 4 after Senate Democrats have repeatedly blocked a vote on a continuing resolution.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In Southeast DC. This food bank line just for federal workers.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You have to have your government added.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Stretches around the block.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Many furloughed federal employees like Anthony spikee now waiting hours
for help.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
If I have a feed I have a family to
take care of, I have a mortgage to pay, So
it's a lot of uncertainty.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
The Bipartisan Policy Center reports one point four million civilian
federal employees like Spiite did not get paid today.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I never thought that I would be in this predicament
where I'm in need of assistance and.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Thinks under a twenty nineteen law, federal workers will be
reimbursed at the end of the government shutdown, but that
help could still be a long way away with Congress
not in session. How does make you feel that members
of Congress are still getting a paycheck right now?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
You know, if we're not getting paid, I honestly felt
that they should be.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Their checks should be withheld as well.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And as food banks face an influx of federal workers
is scary.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
The clock is ticking for millions more with the shutdown.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
I believe that we'll get double the amount, maybe even
triple the amount that we see now.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Federal funding for food programs like SNAP and WICK in
danger of running dry by the end of the month.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
To last all the way for the next month, even
to cover December, it won't booby starving.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Our NBC affiliate in Kansas City breaks down what that
assistance looks like for the forty one million Americans who
rely on the program.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
I'm megan to bud this grocery shopping in South Kansas City.
This cart full of staples, some fresh produce, fresh fruit,
some meat, and bread represents what the average person on
SNAP benefits or food stamps can afford for.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
An entire week.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
The national average benefit for a breakdown per person per
week is about forty six to seventy four dollars. That's
what we've spent here, forty eight dollars and sixty eight
cents for this cart full of groceries.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Here you doing, man? You can choose one.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I With no end to the shutdown in sight, many
now preparing for what could be a long road ahead.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
What can I do about it?
Speaker 8 (02:02):
Let just keep pushing forward, as they say, push until
something happens.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
The food bank that we went to today had over two
hundred people show up, all of them federal workers or
government contractors, and the organizers who we spoke to said
they're prepared to hold these types of weekly donation events
as long as the government shutdown continues.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
We're live here on Ryan Schuling Live this Monday edition.
Speaker 9 (02:25):
Shannon Scott is working on some technical things behind the scenes.
The Detroit Connection reunited. It feels so good. And that
was Melanie Zanona from NBC News. And what you hear
in that package is the largest federal workers union calling
for an end to the government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
We're here entering the fourth.
Speaker 9 (02:43):
Week, and in so doing, I thought it would be
time to speak with the congresswoman from the fourth Congressional district,
and that will be Representative Lauren Bobert joining us at
the bottom of this hour, So you want to tune
your radios in for that as well. You've got a
question for the congress women, you can pass those along
via ten next at five, seven, seven, three nine. But
(03:03):
what this spells out and what you've witnessed over this
weekend are the exact reasons why the Dems know they're losing.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
On this issue on this topic, but in general.
Speaker 9 (03:13):
And then two, they are running out of time and
I've made this point and we'll go over it with
Louren coming up at about two thirty three here, that
once November first hits and we go through the first
full month of this shutdown, and the Trump administration will
still try to bankroll and backfill and pay our military
service members for that first pay period. And in the
(03:35):
federal government, you're paid on the first, in the fifteenth,
the thirty first, and the fifteenth, final day of the month,
and the fifteenth, and that by the fifteenth that will
not be the case. That will not be possible any longer.
And further to that point, the federal workers are not
being paid and won't be paid beginning with the month
of November, and the snap benefits for all of these
(03:59):
individuals who count on them will not be paid out either.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
In a lot of those largely.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
Are constituents who vote in democratic districts urban districts to
be more specific, and the dams just can't afford the
political capital that's going to cost them. In this imaginary
argument about healthcare that we'll talk about with Representative Bobert
as well, healthcare for the working class, the middle class.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
What this is and what it has always been is.
Speaker 9 (04:26):
A maneuver by the Democrats to try to parlay into erasing.
We talked about Thoative Gabe Evans last week. Erasing the
trumpet executive order and the big beautiful bill that revoked
Medicaid payments and various taxpayer funded subsidies for illegal aliens
(04:47):
in this country has nothing to do with American citizens,
has nothing to do with the working class, the middle class,
the in between class, any class other than people that
do not have legal status in this country, and therefore
should not be conferred upon benefits that we, American taxpayers
pay for. There was a graph illustrating the percentage of
(05:08):
benefits being collected by those who are foreign born nationals
who are not citizens of this country, and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Many of whom who are here illegally.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
There are some who have been offered some form of
asylum from other countries, and they are largely dependent on
our federal government.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
On us.
Speaker 9 (05:27):
When you hear that, when you hear that federal government
is paying for we are paying for that. American taxpayers
are paying for that. That is money that is going
out that is not going to other things that it
could be spent on to benefit American citizens. And this
was all part of the plan when President Biden the
Democrats threw open our borders and allowed so many illegals
(05:49):
to stream into the country, somewhere in the vicinity of
twenty million by most estimates. But the reason that you
know that the Democrats are losing, They're flailing here. They
don't know which direction to go, and they don't know
what their true north is. Here's Governor Kathy Hokel finally
being cudgeled into endorsing zoron the Kami Mom Donnie for
(06:14):
Mayor in New York City.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Alen, we take back America.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Thank you Queens, Thank you New York I love you.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
Take back America from whom and for whom these are
radical hard left socialists bordering on communists. Zoramondani is a
self avowed Democratic Socialist of America, aligned with AOC, aligned
with Bernie Sanders and the Democrats, the mainstream whatever is
(06:46):
left of them. They are quaking in their boots because
they can't afford to lose this far left flank of
their So what are they honing in on?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
What are they focusing on?
Speaker 9 (06:56):
Well, it's just like John Fetterman said and warned about
when Trump won.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
When Trump was.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
First sworn in that the Democrats cannot afford to be
like cats chasing the red laser beam everywhere everything Trump does,
they respond to it, and they fall into that trap
every single time. There are two points right now that
the Democrats are hyper focused on and hyperventilating about. They
have nothing to do with what affects the American people,
(07:23):
which right now is the government shut down, federal workers
not being paid, benefits not being distributed. But they are
obsessed with Donald Trump and his every move. He has
really executed a Jedi mind trick on them.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And it's twofold.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
It's this construction of a ballroom in the place of
the East Wing where there was nothing of historical significance,
and it's been modified many times over the last century
or so.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And it's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
But you see all the Democrat talking points being trotted out,
and whether it's the mainstream meeting, the Democrats themselves or
people online who are influences or have been fed these
talking points, you hear them regurgitated the same way every
single time. And it started once again this past weekend
(08:16):
with some comments made by Eric Swalwell, Representative California and
Julie Rojinski, a DENE strategist, is somewhat of a level
headed person in the past, She's been on CNN panels
with Scott Jennings.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But she's tying together the thread.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Of this ballroom construction and whether or not Democrats should
be against it, or once a Democrat wins the office
again to the presidency, they should tear it down. That's
what Eric Swable's They got tear it down, and nobody
should be on the ticket in twenty twenty eight without
making that pledge that if they are elected they will
tear it down. But Rojinski threads the neil between the
(08:55):
other concern that I guess is cropped up once again,
and that is Donald Trump is never leaving off this.
He's an author authoritarian dictator who is going to run
for a third term. And they base it on this
following statement and play it in two parts. The first
part is kind of where the money quote is Donald
trumpleboard Air Force one, and then the second one is
(09:16):
just for comic relief and humor value.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
Oh, we have great people.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
Well I don't have to get into that, but we
have one of them standing right here.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
Well, we have JD.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
Obviously, the vice president is great. I think marn't Go
is great. I think I'm not sure if anybody would
run against us. I think if they have performed, the
group would be unstoppable.
Speaker 10 (09:37):
I really do. I believe that I would. I would,
I would love to do it, and I have my
best numbers. Ever, it's very terrible. I have my best numbers.
You read it. Am I not ruling it out. You'll
have to tell me.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
You'll have to tell me. This is Trump completely trolling.
It's what he does. The media takes it, hook line
and sinker. They take the bait, and the left runs
with it as well. He says things, these are Trumpian expressions.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
It'd be a shame if I had to leave office.
Speaker 12 (10:04):
My numbers are so good, and say, really would be
a shame, I would like to say, because my numbers
are so good.
Speaker 9 (10:10):
But then he's talking about in that same breath, about
Vance and Rubio and how he imagines that might be
the winning ticket in twenty twenty eight, folks, he ain't
running again.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Battle Trump's going to be eighty two years old.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
He wanted to sail off into the sun set following
this last term, and he told people that when he
was running once again this third time, if the Democrats
had just left well enough alone, I would have already
been gone. And he would He said that so, meaning
if he had defeated Biden in twenty twenty served out
his eight years, he would have tipped his cap and
(10:42):
gone off played golf Mary Largo. But he thought he
had unfinished work in business and a lot of stuff
that Joe Biden did as president that he needed to undo.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And I'm thanking God that he is in position to
do just that.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
He doesn't want to serve another term until he's eighty
six years old. That is not in the cards, that
has not been in the cards. You are a maniac
if you believe that. And then Trump goes in and
goes after Jasmine Crockett and AOC again, Trump being here.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I took a test. It was cognitive. I a stit.
I got a perfect score.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
All I can tell.
Speaker 11 (11:17):
You is that we have a great, a great group
of people, which they don't. They have Jasmin Crockett, a
low IQ person. They have AOC's low IQ. You give
her an IQ test, have her passed. Like the exams
that I decided to take when I was at Walter
reed I took that was a very hard.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (11:38):
They really have to to tests, I guess at the
cercond way, but they're cognitive tests.
Speaker 10 (11:43):
Let aoc go against Trump.
Speaker 11 (11:45):
Let Jasmine go against some I don't think, get a jasmine.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
The first couple of questions, there isy a tiger an
elephant that you're have.
Speaker 11 (11:52):
You know, when you get up to about five or six,
and then when you get up to ten and twenty
and twenty five.
Speaker 10 (11:59):
They couldn't. I'm close to answering any of those questions.
Speaker 12 (12:02):
First questions are easy. Tiger, elephant, giraffe. These are animals.
I love animals. I love those three animals. They're great man,
woman camera, and then they get tough.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He's just kind of shooting the breeze here, so to speak.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
But here's Julie Rajinski as I afore mentioned, reacting to this.
Speaker 13 (12:21):
Harco Werby has a very good, like resting face. He
just you know, didn't even respond to that. But the
question is is it Donald Trump to decide who succeeds him?
That's a nominee.
Speaker 14 (12:33):
Nobody's going to succeed him. He's going to succeed himself.
Let's just be real. He's not building that ballroom because
he's planning on leaving. He's not going anywhere, and nobody's
going to get him out of there. And by the way,
the Supreme Court says you can't run again. He will
just ignore the courts. And I'm happy to see Marco
Rubio without Steve Wickoffer's our secretary of State, so I'm
happy to see that he's appeared and pops off somewhere.
But he's not going to be the nominee. Gg Vans
(12:55):
is not going to be the nominee because Donald Trump
is not going anywhere. And I understand that sounds crazy
and wacko if you think about all the other crazy,
wacko things that this president has done that we could
not believe he'd ever do, and you see why he's
going to run again in twenty twenty eight. And he's
not going anywhere unless no, the ravage is a time
take him away. He's not leaving that way house.
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Well, again, the talking points have been trotted out, Razinski
is reciting them, and they're talking about it.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
You guessed it on the view.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
So just so we're clear, you have nothing to say
about any of this. Just understand that, Okay, Republicans have
pretty much given him free reign up till now. Are
they going to let this happen?
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Y'all won't let it happen.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
No, we just ever let that happen, says the clapping
seals audience assembled for the view. There's a lot of
stupid packed into the next and what is that twenty
seconds only?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
This might be a record.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Actually, Notre Dame, the fighting Irish that campus in south
in Indiana should be ashamed that they can third upon
sunny hostin a law degree a juris doctorate. This is
so stupid and I'm gonna have to pause it at
various times to highlight the stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Okay, the twenty second Amendment is so clear you learn
in law school no president can run twice.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Because we incorrect.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
A candidate for the office of the presidency can indeed
run exactly twice, two terms, two times.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
That's the twenty second amendment. She got that wrong.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
It really came into effect in the forties after LBJ
had like four terms.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Rosel she conflated LBJ with FDR. Okay, that's a pretty
big botch.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I have four terms and then you had like the
other one Truman, who didn't run for reelection but kind
of said that he could.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And so Harry Truman, I'm gonna have an ice cream headache.
Brain freeze here. Harry S.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Truman assumed the office of the presidency upon the death
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in nineteen forty five. He was
sworn into off office the vice president, as our constitution states.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
He then won election.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
You remember the famous photo Dewey defeats Truman. They called
that race to early Thomas Dewey looked like he was
going to win. Truman pulls off the upset. He holds
up the newspaper and give them hell. Harry won that election.
Harry Truman, by law and in the constitution, because he
had inherited the office of the presidency as vice president
(15:27):
upon the death of FDR, had every right to run
again in nineteen fifty two.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
But he was very unpopular.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
By that time. We were in the midst of the
Korean War, the Korean conflict. It's not going well. Kind
of battled to a draw there. South Korea stayed free,
North Korea remained communist. And he decided, Harry Truman, that
he was not going to run in nineteen fifty two
he could have he didn't, and Adlai Stevenson was the
nominee instead for the Democrats and got walloped by one
(15:57):
of the maybe the hero of the twentieth cent entry
in the world, Dwight David Eisenhower, who would win two terms.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Now, let let's see what else does he say here?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Okah, we put this into the constitution for a reason.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, but you don't know what it says.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
You have no knowledge of this amendment or what it
does or what it says. Because not only Harry Truman
could have run again LBJ who she mentioned he could
have run again. LBJ assumed the office of the presidency
upon the assassination of John F. Kennedy in nineteen sixty three.
He ran against Barry Goldwater in nineteen sixty four, the
(16:33):
famous countdown ad with a daisy. Remember that Barry Goldwater
was going to at least nuclear war upon the planet.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
LBJ one.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
He could have run again in nineteen sixty eight. He
chose not to because he was very unpopular in the
midst of a very unpopular war in Vietnam, and he
knew he wasn't going to win, so he would not
accept the nomination of his party. Instead, it was Hubert H. Humphrey,
his vice president, who got wallop by Richard M. Nixon,
(17:02):
who would serve two terms. You see the pattern here developing. Yes,
a third example dating back to Fdr Gerald R.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Ford, my Michigan guy.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
He assumes the office of the presidency upon the resignation
of Richard M.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Nixon, and then he runs in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
Had Ford one in seventy six over Carter, very close election,
he did not win. He lost, But had he won, yes,
Gerald R. Ford could have run again for reelection in
nineteen eighty. You can run twice. Truman didn't run when
he assumed the presidency in nineteen forty five. LBJ didn't
(17:40):
run when he assumed the presidency in nineteen sixty three,
and Gerald Ford didn't run when he assumed the presidency
in nineteen seventy four upon the resignation of Richard M.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Nixon. So therefore that candidate could run again.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Sunny hostin mishandles that very premise of the twenty second
Amendment and then this description.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Sonya Sodamiora is interested.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
When you asked Tathamiora that question, she said Wow, it
hasn't been tested, and that told me everything that I
needed to know because I think that she is a
very faithful constitutionalist. I think that she but she also
understands that the Constitution can be interpreted as a living
and breathing thing as opposed to sort of this thing
that was written eons ago.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, again she doesn't. I wish Michael Brown were here
because he's be getting very angry now.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
He's a constitutional scholar and he taught constitutional law in college. Brownie,
heck of a job. The Amendment is living and breathing
in the sense that it can be amended by Congress.
That's how it's changed, not by the courts, not by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
They are there to interpret the laws that have.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
Been presented to them, that are on the books in
front of them, according to the Constitution, which can only
be amended by everyone Congress, not the judges. They don't
make the law from the bench. Thank god, they're unelected.
They're appointed for life.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Many people who say there's no way he would do it, well,
those are the same people that said he's The Supreme
Court is never going to get rid of Roe v.
Wade Those are the people that said things like he's
never going to have these mass men disappearing people all
over the country. Those are the same people that said, oh,
my goodness, are you kidding. He's never going to get
rid of the Rose Garden, He's never going to get
(19:28):
rid of the East Wing.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Well, this is the same talking Points memo that Julie
Rojinski got. We'll have Lauren Bolbert, the representative from the
fourth District, joining us next on Ryan Shielding Live.
Speaker 15 (19:40):
Donald Trump has shown zero interests and Republicans have shown
zero interests and reopening the government. Our view from the beginning,
leaders whim as Senate Democrats, House Democrats, we've all made
clear that we will sit down with anyone, anytime, any place,
either at the Capitol or back at the White House,
to negotiate a bipartisan agreement that actually meets and theeds
of the American people. But at the same time, we
(20:03):
have to decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis because it
is crushing every day Americans, working class Americans, and middle
class Americans.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Again, the talking Points memo went out, and you're going
to hear this one regurgitated not just by members of Congress,
like Minority Leader Representative Hakeem Jeffries there who you just heard,
Democrat New York and Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It is the Schumer shutdown. All they would need to.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
Do is past the current Continuing Resolution in its present form,
as it has been done for several cycles now, going
back several quarters. And only now are the Democrats deciding
that they're not going to get past the Philip buster
proof majority sixty votes in order to pass a clean bill,
a clean bill continuing resolution and then maybe open up
(20:50):
these talks that they're wanting to discuss about healthcare.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
But this is really the shell game that they're playing.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
And it goes to this first question for our next
guest back here on Ryan Schuling Live and Lauren Bobert
fourth Congressional District joins us. And the question from our
Texter at five seven seven thirty nine is along the
lines of what Jeffreys just said, Why are the Republicans
so intent on hurting some of the poorest citizens of
our country via higher premiums for their healthcare? Representative Bilbert,
how do you respond to that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Republicans, Brian, are not doing anything of the sort to
hurt folks in America. This is this is one of
our going on, our longest shutdown in history, and it
is sinnet Democrats who are continuing to vote against a
bill that they have already voted in favor of and
passed thirteen times. This is a clean continuing resolution. It
(21:42):
is the most reasonable approach that we could take. I
would even prefer we had taken a more aggressive approach
in the House, but we decided to be as bipartisan
as possible to have a short term spending gap and
pass this continuing resolution to keep the federal government open.
(22:02):
But unfortunately, Democrats, who want more control of americans lives,
they are the first to shut off the lights and
lock the doors, and now many American federal workers are
going to be without paychecks. Some have already missed their
first paycheck. President Trump has donors who are stepping in
for our military, and even he has moved around funds
(22:24):
within the government to pay our military, and many of
them are going to be looking for these checks. And
unfortunately it's because of Senate Democrats and even House Democrats
who are encouraging them to keep the government shut down,
that they will not be able to receive that check
and potentially miss important bill payments and struggle to get
(22:46):
food on the table for their families.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Lauren, We've heard Speaker Johnson on this point, and I
think it's right on the money. With regard to the
Democrats trying to appease and appeal to they're far left
lunatic fringe base that is up in arms about what
you've done in the Congress with a big beautiful bill
to recind all the wasteful spending. I've talked with your counterpart,
(23:08):
Representative Gabe Evans about this in which a lot of
these government funded, ie taxpayer funded benefits, medicated, et cetera,
have been.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Going in large numbers to illegal aliens.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
That until or unless Chuck Schumer Hakeem Jeffries are able
to resind that part of the big beautiful bill. That's
what this is all about, and that's the only sticking
point is that accurate.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That is accurate. So they want to continue the COVID
Earro Obamacare subsidies that were passed to match state dollars
with federal dollars. And it's not just a regular match
like we've seen in the past with Obamacare, where the
state puts in one dollar and the federal government matches
it with a dollar thirty three. No, this extended subsidy
(23:52):
has the state puts in, putting in one dollar and
the federal government matching that one dollar with nine federal dollars.
And this is going to illegal aliens healthcare. And it
was going to able bodied adults as well. And this
is something that we corrected in the Big Beautiful Bill,
and also those COVID era Obamacare extensions, those enormous subsidies
(24:18):
are set to expire at the end of the year.
And so Democrats right now are decrying healthcare for illegal
aliens and making Americans suffer in the meantime. You know,
here in Colorado, our military families, we're seeing an increase
up to thirty percent at food pantries. And there's more
(24:40):
than thirty six million dollars in FEMA funding in Colorado
that is currently on hold because of this shutdown. Ryan,
you saw last week the Democrats had an opportunity even
to pay our federal workers, our air traffic controllers, our
TSA agents, are border patrol agents, are federal law enforcement officers,
(25:03):
our military men and women, as they even voted against that,
they would have had all of the others shutdown that
they are fighting for, the government would still not be opened,
but those checks would have been sent to those who
receive a check from the federal government, and they refuse
to do so. And now Snap is in danger. Wick
(25:24):
is in danger. I'm hearing from local counties that are
in fear of their food pantries running empty because there
will be such an increase of people going to them.
And this is a really, really unfortunate that the Democrats
have chose this issue to politicize and harm American families.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Representative Lauren Bolbert joining us for congressional district, and of
course she is right there in Washington watching all of
this unfold in real time, and Lauren, I know something
that you do along with me as you watch how
the left reacts response to something like this, and rather
than focus on fundamental issues like you just did about
what happens during a government shutdown, they're trying to take
(26:05):
the public's eye off the ball with these other issues
that have nothing to do with that. I'm going to
start here. Let you hear Mara Gay New York Times, MSNBC.
They're really fixated on this whole ballroom thing, and that's.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
So disturbing about this, Joe is when you talk to
people who aren't journalists, don't work in politics. On both
sides of the Aisle, Americans just cannot understand how the
President has been able to do this. They are watching
daily the destruction or they were of the East Wing,
and no one is stopping him.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Representative Bobert, what is this reaction, this hyperventilating to not
only the remaking, the remodeling, reimagining, to borrow one of
their favorite terms of the East Wing, and to have
a ballroom that can host heads of state in large numbers.
We know what the President said right now, only about
seventy nine people can be accommodated. That's not acceptable for
twenty twenty five year of our Lord United States of
(27:02):
America having these big events that I know you've attended
as well. And this is something Speaker Johnson has said
it will benefit presidents for decades and maybe even a
century to come.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
So why are they so upset about this?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Anything that President Trump does, the Democrats are going to
display utter outrage. The man could walk on water and
every media station, every liberal media would say, look, he
can't even he can't even swim, and it doesn't matter
what he does, they are going to find an error
in it. The White House has been renovated and additions
(27:38):
have been made for decades, for over a century, certainly,
and this certainly isn't the first, and it won't be
the last. But to be able to, like you said,
bring in heads of states and have these events and
not have them on the lawn under a tent is
something that actually shows strength in America. I mean, President
(28:00):
Trump goes to these events worldwide and it's not stuck
in a tent whenever he is greeted in another country,
So why shouldn't we demonstrate that same excellence here. And
also he has received the last I checked, over three
hundred million dollars in donation. This is at no cost
to the American taxpayer that this is being done, so
(28:21):
he doesn't need approval from the House of Representatives to
get it done, because if there was a bill attached
to a dollar amount, then that's where we would have
to come in. But they're in their demolition phase and
they are working on those renovations. It's going to be
extremely beautiful and as you said, President, for decades to come,
(28:42):
we'll be able to enjoy this I've seen House Republicans
think that they will not support any Democrat candidate for
president in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
It's their number one.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Promise and priority is not to demolish the ballroom that
is being built. That's not an a priority that anybody
wants from a candidate. But you know, this isn't this
doesn't come as a surprise. Everything that President Trump has
said in the past and his campaigned on is what
he is doing. And then the Democrats just show their
(29:17):
utter despise for not only him, but for American greatness
at every turn. If there's anything that they need to
be talking about, it's they're embarrassing shut down and keeping
federal workers unpaid and causing there to be ground stopped
at airports, and of course our troops, who, as I said,
(29:38):
we're seeing in Colorado a more than thirty percent increase
of food pantries, which is unacceptable.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Representative Lauren Bobert joining us here in Ryan schuling Live
one final point to respond to, and it's kind of
a threading of the needle between the ballroom and what
Trump's true intent is with it.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Here's Julie Rojinski.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
Democrat strategists responding to Chris Jansen on it.
Speaker 13 (29:59):
Has a very good, like resting face. He just, you know,
didn't even respond to that. But the question is, is it
Donald Trump to decide who succeeds him a phrenominee.
Speaker 14 (30:11):
Nobody's going to succeed him. He's going to succeed himself.
Let's just be real. He's not building that ballroom because
he's planning on leaving. He's not going anywhere.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
And so now they're saying Representative Bobert that Donald Trump
intends on running yet again to find the Constitution the
twenty second Amendment. I think this is just hilarious that
this is what they're really concerned about in trying to
sell this the American people, that he truly wants to
rule as a dictator.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Well, let the headlines read if President Trump can find
a way to legally run for a third term, Mobbi
the first to endorse him. I cannot believe that that
is his plans with building a ballroom on the east
side of the White House. I hope the president, excuse
Vice President Jadie Vance, decides to run. He's done an
(30:57):
amazing job so far being at the right side of
President Trump, but also we have a very very deep
bench in the Republican Party, so we have a lot
of great people to choose from. And President Trump is
not doing this for selfish reasons. The media loves to
the left wing media loves to paint President Trump as
a selfish man, and they use all of the adjectives
(31:20):
to describe that. But if they were actually to get
to know him, say like Bill Maher did, when Bill
Maher was invited to the White House to have dinner
with him, he said, he's actually a pleasant man, and
he actually listens. He wants to hear what you have
to say, and everything that he does is to benefit
our country. When you have a radical Democrat, a true
(31:43):
blue liberal like Bill Maher who is taking heat from
his base who are far more radical than him, apparently
to defend the honor and integrity and the person the
personal touch that President Trump has, you know, that's really
saying a lot. And if any of them were at
to actually watch what he does and see who benefits
(32:06):
from his victories, they would see that none of this
is about him and him alone. It is about America
and rebuilding the strength that we have lost under Democrat
one party rule in the past and really getting us
better to a better place than we ever have before.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Follow her on X at Rep.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
Bobert boe b e r T Lauren Bolbert, the congresswoman
for Colorado's fourth district.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Lauren, you have the winning hand.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
I know you and Speaker Johnson and I'm hoping Senate
Majority Leader soon all know this.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
The Democrats are going to fold. They have to.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
They will don't give an inch. I know you won't,
but I'm just hoping that this turns out the way
that we know that it can. Absolutely, Thanks so much, Ryan,
all right, Representative Lauren Bobert joining us here on Ryan
Schuling live your thoughts and reaction at five seven seven
three nine, closing out our number one.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
After this, I'll stop the world and melt with you.
Speaker 9 (33:03):
Thanks for that, Shannon Detroit connection re established. It always
feels amazing. And then Lauren Bobert joining us also feels amazing.
Always thankful for her time. She's a star and you
know it, and you can respond five seven seven three nine,
and many of you have.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
We're going to get to a lot of these.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
Please remind Lauren that illegal undocumented aliens are not eligible
for healthcare coverage.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Obamacare or any other texture. You're exactly wrong.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
I've had this very in depth conversation where Representative Gabe Evans,
who's extremely knowledgeable on that subject, and many others, and
this from the Washington Examiner. You can check it out
for yourself from Sally Pipes, and she's.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
A very rock solid journalist reporter.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
Now, this talking point that you have echoed that a
King Jeffries and Chuck Schumer has as well, saying that
Democrats are not trying to provide healthcare for undocumented immigrants, period,
full stop, anyway, shape.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Or farm, etcetera.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
But as Pipe's rights here, the truth is more complicated. Quote,
federal money does indeed make it possible for states to
extend medicaid to millions of illegal immigrants illegal aliens as
I prefer to call them. They were immigrants, they would
come here the right way like my mom did. Democrats
have shut down the government in part.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
To keep things that way.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Pipes continues, Quote one of the methods states used to
federal to funnel federal dollars to health care for illegals
is through quote emergency medicaid. This is the part of
the program intended to reimburse hospitals for providing emergency care
to uninsured patients. In recent years, the amount of federal
(34:43):
money used to provide such care to illegals has soared.
In twenty twenty, emergency Medicaid spending on illegal immigrants was
just two point zh six billion dollars, still a lot,
according to the Foundation of Government Accountability. Four years later,
through the term of Joe Biden, by twenty twenty four,
(35:03):
that figurehead ballooned from two point zero six billion to
six point one five billion dollars allocated for that purpose.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Let's go to another text here, Steven Littleton, retired law.
Speaker 9 (35:16):
Enforcement officer, It's disgusting that the Dems have any support
for being the victims of the problems that they are causing.
Well stated Steve, as always, and petty Patty right here,
very petty here, Patty, she says sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Maybe as a troll only Trump should.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Throw out to the press that alongside the new ballroom,
he will be making room for the Bill Clinton cigar lounge.
Petty Petty Petty strikes again.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Ryan.
Speaker 9 (35:46):
The shutdown issue is leftists protecting their billionaire donors insurance companies.
These are direct payments to the insurance companies once again,
big medicine, big insurance, and you're not wrong. Somebody else
who's not wrong, at least not often. The former host
of this very day part on six point thirty k
how Leland Conway, will join me next. Traffic cameras going
(36:08):
up and north of Denver and throughout the Denver Metro
Are these constitutional?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
It's been a cause celeb from him. He'll join me
to talk about it. Next. Leland Conway Straight Ahead on
Ryan Schuling Live
In Southeast DC. This food bank line just for federal workers.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You have to have your government added.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Stretches around the block.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Many furloughed federal employees like Anthony spikee now waiting hours
for help.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
If I have a feed I have a family to
take care of, I have a mortgage to pay, So
it's a lot of uncertainty.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
The Bipartisan Policy Center reports one point four million civilian
federal employees like Spiite did not get paid today.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I never thought that I would be in this predicament
where I'm in need of assistance and.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Thinks under a twenty nineteen law, federal workers will be
reimbursed at the end of the government shutdown, but that
help could still be a long way away with Congress
not in session. How does make you feel that members
of Congress are still getting a paycheck right now?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
You know, if we're not getting paid, I honestly felt
that they should be.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Their checks should be withheld as well.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And as food banks face an influx of federal workers
is scary.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
The clock is ticking for millions more with the shutdown.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
I believe that we'll get double the amount, maybe even
triple the amount that we see now.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Federal funding for food programs like SNAP and WICK in
danger of running dry by the end of the month.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
To last all the way for the next month, even
to cover December, it won't booby starving.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Our NBC affiliate in Kansas City breaks down what that
assistance looks like for the forty one million Americans who
rely on the program.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
I'm megan to bud this grocery shopping in South Kansas City.
This cart full of staples, some fresh produce, fresh fruit,
some meat, and bread represents what the average person on
SNAP benefits or food stamps can afford for.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
An entire week.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
The national average benefit for a breakdown per person per
week is about forty six to seventy four dollars. That's
what we've spent here, forty eight dollars and sixty eight
cents for this cart full of groceries.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Here you doing, man? You can choose one.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I With no end to the shutdown in sight, many
now preparing for what could be a long road ahead.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
What can I do about it?
Speaker 8 (02:02):
Let just keep pushing forward, as they say, push until
something happens.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
The food bank that we went to today had over two
hundred people show up, all of them federal workers or
government contractors, and the organizers who we spoke to said
they're prepared to hold these types of weekly donation events
as long as the government shutdown continues.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
We're live here on Ryan Schuling Live this Monday edition.
Speaker 9 (02:25):
Shannon Scott is working on some technical things behind the scenes.
The Detroit Connection reunited. It feels so good. And that
was Melanie Zanona from NBC News. And what you hear
in that package is the largest federal workers union calling
for an end to the government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
We're here entering the fourth.
Speaker 9 (02:43):
Week, and in so doing, I thought it would be
time to speak with the congresswoman from the fourth Congressional district,
and that will be Representative Lauren Bobert joining us at
the bottom of this hour, So you want to tune
your radios in for that as well. You've got a
question for the congress women, you can pass those along
via ten next at five, seven, seven, three nine. But
(03:03):
what this spells out and what you've witnessed over this
weekend are the exact reasons why the Dems know they're losing.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
On this issue on this topic, but in general.
Speaker 9 (03:13):
And then two, they are running out of time and
I've made this point and we'll go over it with
Louren coming up at about two thirty three here, that
once November first hits and we go through the first
full month of this shutdown, and the Trump administration will
still try to bankroll and backfill and pay our military
service members for that first pay period. And in the
(03:35):
federal government, you're paid on the first, in the fifteenth,
the thirty first, and the fifteenth, final day of the month,
and the fifteenth, and that by the fifteenth that will
not be the case. That will not be possible any longer.
And further to that point, the federal workers are not
being paid and won't be paid beginning with the month
of November, and the snap benefits for all of these
(03:59):
individuals who count on them will not be paid out either.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
In a lot of those largely.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
Are constituents who vote in democratic districts urban districts to
be more specific, and the dams just can't afford the
political capital that's going to cost them. In this imaginary
argument about healthcare that we'll talk about with Representative Bobert
as well, healthcare for the working class, the middle class.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
What this is and what it has always been is.
Speaker 9 (04:26):
A maneuver by the Democrats to try to parlay into erasing.
We talked about Thoative Gabe Evans last week. Erasing the
trumpet executive order and the big beautiful bill that revoked
Medicaid payments and various taxpayer funded subsidies for illegal aliens
(04:47):
in this country has nothing to do with American citizens,
has nothing to do with the working class, the middle class,
the in between class, any class other than people that
do not have legal status in this country, and therefore
should not be conferred upon benefits that we, American taxpayers
pay for. There was a graph illustrating the percentage of
(05:08):
benefits being collected by those who are foreign born nationals
who are not citizens of this country, and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Many of whom who are here illegally.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
There are some who have been offered some form of
asylum from other countries, and they are largely dependent on
our federal government.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
On us.
Speaker 9 (05:27):
When you hear that, when you hear that federal government
is paying for we are paying for that. American taxpayers
are paying for that. That is money that is going
out that is not going to other things that it
could be spent on to benefit American citizens. And this
was all part of the plan when President Biden the
Democrats threw open our borders and allowed so many illegals
(05:49):
to stream into the country, somewhere in the vicinity of
twenty million by most estimates. But the reason that you
know that the Democrats are losing, They're flailing here. They
don't know which direction to go, and they don't know
what their true north is. Here's Governor Kathy Hokel finally
being cudgeled into endorsing zoron the Kami Mom Donnie for
(06:14):
Mayor in New York City.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Alen, we take back America.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Thank you Queens, Thank you New York I love you.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
Take back America from whom and for whom these are
radical hard left socialists bordering on communists. Zoramondani is a
self avowed Democratic Socialist of America, aligned with AOC, aligned
with Bernie Sanders and the Democrats, the mainstream whatever is
(06:46):
left of them. They are quaking in their boots because
they can't afford to lose this far left flank of
their So what are they honing in on?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
What are they focusing on?
Speaker 9 (06:56):
Well, it's just like John Fetterman said and warned about
when Trump won.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
When Trump was.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
First sworn in that the Democrats cannot afford to be
like cats chasing the red laser beam everywhere everything Trump does,
they respond to it, and they fall into that trap
every single time. There are two points right now that
the Democrats are hyper focused on and hyperventilating about. They
have nothing to do with what affects the American people,
(07:23):
which right now is the government shut down, federal workers
not being paid, benefits not being distributed. But they are
obsessed with Donald Trump and his every move. He has
really executed a Jedi mind trick on them.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And it's twofold.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
It's this construction of a ballroom in the place of
the East Wing where there was nothing of historical significance,
and it's been modified many times over the last century
or so.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And it's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
But you see all the Democrat talking points being trotted out,
and whether it's the mainstream meeting, the Democrats themselves or
people online who are influences or have been fed these
talking points, you hear them regurgitated the same way every
single time. And it started once again this past weekend
(08:16):
with some comments made by Eric Swalwell, Representative California and
Julie Rojinski, a DENE strategist, is somewhat of a level
headed person in the past, She's been on CNN panels
with Scott Jennings.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But she's tying together the thread.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Of this ballroom construction and whether or not Democrats should
be against it, or once a Democrat wins the office
again to the presidency, they should tear it down. That's
what Eric Swable's They got tear it down, and nobody
should be on the ticket in twenty twenty eight without
making that pledge that if they are elected they will
tear it down. But Rojinski threads the neil between the
(08:55):
other concern that I guess is cropped up once again,
and that is Donald Trump is never leaving off this.
He's an author authoritarian dictator who is going to run
for a third term. And they base it on this
following statement and play it in two parts. The first
part is kind of where the money quote is Donald
trumpleboard Air Force one, and then the second one is
(09:16):
just for comic relief and humor value.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
Oh, we have great people.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
Well I don't have to get into that, but we
have one of them standing right here.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
Well, we have JD.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
Obviously, the vice president is great. I think marn't Go
is great. I think I'm not sure if anybody would
run against us. I think if they have performed, the
group would be unstoppable.
Speaker 10 (09:37):
I really do. I believe that I would. I would,
I would love to do it, and I have my
best numbers. Ever, it's very terrible. I have my best numbers.
You read it. Am I not ruling it out. You'll
have to tell me.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
You'll have to tell me. This is Trump completely trolling.
It's what he does. The media takes it, hook line
and sinker. They take the bait, and the left runs
with it as well. He says things, these are Trumpian expressions.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
It'd be a shame if I had to leave office.
Speaker 12 (10:04):
My numbers are so good, and say, really would be
a shame, I would like to say, because my numbers
are so good.
Speaker 9 (10:10):
But then he's talking about in that same breath, about
Vance and Rubio and how he imagines that might be
the winning ticket in twenty twenty eight, folks, he ain't
running again.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Battle Trump's going to be eighty two years old.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
He wanted to sail off into the sun set following
this last term, and he told people that when he
was running once again this third time, if the Democrats
had just left well enough alone, I would have already
been gone. And he would He said that so, meaning
if he had defeated Biden in twenty twenty served out
his eight years, he would have tipped his cap and
(10:42):
gone off played golf Mary Largo. But he thought he
had unfinished work in business and a lot of stuff
that Joe Biden did as president that he needed to undo.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And I'm thanking God that he is in position to
do just that.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
He doesn't want to serve another term until he's eighty
six years old. That is not in the cards, that
has not been in the cards. You are a maniac
if you believe that. And then Trump goes in and
goes after Jasmine Crockett and AOC again, Trump being here.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I took a test. It was cognitive. I a stit.
I got a perfect score.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
All I can tell.
Speaker 11 (11:17):
You is that we have a great, a great group
of people, which they don't. They have Jasmin Crockett, a
low IQ person. They have AOC's low IQ. You give
her an IQ test, have her passed. Like the exams
that I decided to take when I was at Walter
reed I took that was a very hard.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (11:38):
They really have to to tests, I guess at the
cercond way, but they're cognitive tests.
Speaker 10 (11:43):
Let aoc go against Trump.
Speaker 11 (11:45):
Let Jasmine go against some I don't think, get a jasmine.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
The first couple of questions, there isy a tiger an
elephant that you're have.
Speaker 11 (11:52):
You know, when you get up to about five or six,
and then when you get up to ten and twenty
and twenty five.
Speaker 10 (11:59):
They couldn't. I'm close to answering any of those questions.
Speaker 12 (12:02):
First questions are easy. Tiger, elephant, giraffe. These are animals.
I love animals. I love those three animals. They're great man,
woman camera, and then they get tough.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He's just kind of shooting the breeze here, so to speak.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
But here's Julie Rajinski as I afore mentioned, reacting to this.
Speaker 13 (12:21):
Harco Werby has a very good, like resting face. He
just you know, didn't even respond to that. But the
question is is it Donald Trump to decide who succeeds him?
That's a nominee.
Speaker 14 (12:33):
Nobody's going to succeed him. He's going to succeed himself.
Let's just be real. He's not building that ballroom because
he's planning on leaving. He's not going anywhere, and nobody's
going to get him out of there. And by the way,
the Supreme Court says you can't run again. He will
just ignore the courts. And I'm happy to see Marco
Rubio without Steve Wickoffer's our secretary of State, so I'm
happy to see that he's appeared and pops off somewhere.
But he's not going to be the nominee. Gg Vans
(12:55):
is not going to be the nominee because Donald Trump
is not going anywhere. And I understand that sounds crazy
and wacko if you think about all the other crazy,
wacko things that this president has done that we could
not believe he'd ever do, and you see why he's
going to run again in twenty twenty eight. And he's
not going anywhere unless no, the ravage is a time
take him away. He's not leaving that way house.
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Well, again, the talking points have been trotted out, Razinski
is reciting them, and they're talking about it.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
You guessed it on the view.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
So just so we're clear, you have nothing to say
about any of this. Just understand that, Okay, Republicans have
pretty much given him free reign up till now. Are
they going to let this happen?
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Y'all won't let it happen.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
No, we just ever let that happen, says the clapping
seals audience assembled for the view. There's a lot of
stupid packed into the next and what is that twenty
seconds only?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
This might be a record.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Actually, Notre Dame, the fighting Irish that campus in south
in Indiana should be ashamed that they can third upon
sunny hostin a law degree a juris doctorate. This is
so stupid and I'm gonna have to pause it at
various times to highlight the stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Okay, the twenty second Amendment is so clear you learn
in law school no president can run twice.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Because we incorrect.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
A candidate for the office of the presidency can indeed
run exactly twice, two terms, two times.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
That's the twenty second amendment. She got that wrong.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
It really came into effect in the forties after LBJ
had like four terms.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Rosel she conflated LBJ with FDR. Okay, that's a pretty
big botch.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I have four terms and then you had like the
other one Truman, who didn't run for reelection but kind
of said that he could.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And so Harry Truman, I'm gonna have an ice cream headache.
Brain freeze here. Harry S.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Truman assumed the office of the presidency upon the death
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in nineteen forty five. He was
sworn into off office the vice president, as our constitution states.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
He then won election.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
You remember the famous photo Dewey defeats Truman. They called
that race to early Thomas Dewey looked like he was
going to win. Truman pulls off the upset. He holds
up the newspaper and give them hell. Harry won that election.
Harry Truman, by law and in the constitution, because he
had inherited the office of the presidency as vice president
(15:27):
upon the death of FDR, had every right to run
again in nineteen fifty two.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
But he was very unpopular.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
By that time. We were in the midst of the
Korean War, the Korean conflict. It's not going well. Kind
of battled to a draw there. South Korea stayed free,
North Korea remained communist. And he decided, Harry Truman, that
he was not going to run in nineteen fifty two
he could have he didn't, and Adlai Stevenson was the
nominee instead for the Democrats and got walloped by one
(15:57):
of the maybe the hero of the twentieth cent entry
in the world, Dwight David Eisenhower, who would win two terms.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Now, let let's see what else does he say here?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Okah, we put this into the constitution for a reason.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, but you don't know what it says.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
You have no knowledge of this amendment or what it
does or what it says. Because not only Harry Truman
could have run again LBJ who she mentioned he could
have run again. LBJ assumed the office of the presidency
upon the assassination of John F. Kennedy in nineteen sixty three.
He ran against Barry Goldwater in nineteen sixty four, the
(16:33):
famous countdown ad with a daisy. Remember that Barry Goldwater
was going to at least nuclear war upon the planet.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
LBJ one.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
He could have run again in nineteen sixty eight. He
chose not to because he was very unpopular in the
midst of a very unpopular war in Vietnam, and he
knew he wasn't going to win, so he would not
accept the nomination of his party. Instead, it was Hubert H. Humphrey,
his vice president, who got wallop by Richard M. Nixon,
(17:02):
who would serve two terms. You see the pattern here developing. Yes,
a third example dating back to Fdr Gerald R.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Ford, my Michigan guy.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
He assumes the office of the presidency upon the resignation
of Richard M.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Nixon, and then he runs in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
Had Ford one in seventy six over Carter, very close election,
he did not win. He lost, But had he won, yes,
Gerald R. Ford could have run again for reelection in
nineteen eighty. You can run twice. Truman didn't run when
he assumed the presidency in nineteen forty five. LBJ didn't
(17:40):
run when he assumed the presidency in nineteen sixty three,
and Gerald Ford didn't run when he assumed the presidency
in nineteen seventy four upon the resignation of Richard M.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Nixon. So therefore that candidate could run again.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Sunny hostin mishandles that very premise of the twenty second
Amendment and then this description.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Sonya Sodamiora is interested.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
When you asked Tathamiora that question, she said Wow, it
hasn't been tested, and that told me everything that I
needed to know because I think that she is a
very faithful constitutionalist. I think that she but she also
understands that the Constitution can be interpreted as a living
and breathing thing as opposed to sort of this thing
that was written eons ago.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, again she doesn't. I wish Michael Brown were here
because he's be getting very angry now.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
He's a constitutional scholar and he taught constitutional law in college. Brownie,
heck of a job. The Amendment is living and breathing
in the sense that it can be amended by Congress.
That's how it's changed, not by the courts, not by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
They are there to interpret the laws that have.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
Been presented to them, that are on the books in
front of them, according to the Constitution, which can only
be amended by everyone Congress, not the judges. They don't
make the law from the bench. Thank god, they're unelected.
They're appointed for life.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Many people who say there's no way he would do it, well,
those are the same people that said he's The Supreme
Court is never going to get rid of Roe v.
Wade Those are the people that said things like he's
never going to have these mass men disappearing people all
over the country. Those are the same people that said, oh,
my goodness, are you kidding. He's never going to get
rid of the Rose Garden, He's never going to get
(19:28):
rid of the East Wing.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Well, this is the same talking Points memo that Julie
Rojinski got. We'll have Lauren Bolbert, the representative from the
fourth District, joining us next on Ryan Shielding Live.
Speaker 15 (19:40):
Donald Trump has shown zero interests and Republicans have shown
zero interests and reopening the government. Our view from the beginning,
leaders whim as Senate Democrats, House Democrats, we've all made
clear that we will sit down with anyone, anytime, any place,
either at the Capitol or back at the White House,
to negotiate a bipartisan agreement that actually meets and theeds
of the American people. But at the same time, we
(20:03):
have to decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis because it
is crushing every day Americans, working class Americans, and middle
class Americans.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Again, the talking Points memo went out, and you're going
to hear this one regurgitated not just by members of Congress,
like Minority Leader Representative Hakeem Jeffries there who you just heard,
Democrat New York and Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It is the Schumer shutdown. All they would need to.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
Do is past the current Continuing Resolution in its present form,
as it has been done for several cycles now, going
back several quarters. And only now are the Democrats deciding
that they're not going to get past the Philip buster
proof majority sixty votes in order to pass a clean bill,
a clean bill continuing resolution and then maybe open up
(20:50):
these talks that they're wanting to discuss about healthcare.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
But this is really the shell game that they're playing.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
And it goes to this first question for our next
guest back here on Ryan Schuling Live and Lauren Bobert
fourth Congressional District joins us. And the question from our
Texter at five seven seven thirty nine is along the
lines of what Jeffreys just said, Why are the Republicans
so intent on hurting some of the poorest citizens of
our country via higher premiums for their healthcare? Representative Bilbert,
how do you respond to that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Republicans, Brian, are not doing anything of the sort to
hurt folks in America. This is this is one of
our going on, our longest shutdown in history, and it
is sinnet Democrats who are continuing to vote against a
bill that they have already voted in favor of and
passed thirteen times. This is a clean continuing resolution. It
(21:42):
is the most reasonable approach that we could take. I
would even prefer we had taken a more aggressive approach
in the House, but we decided to be as bipartisan
as possible to have a short term spending gap and
pass this continuing resolution to keep the federal government open.
(22:02):
But unfortunately, Democrats, who want more control of americans lives,
they are the first to shut off the lights and
lock the doors, and now many American federal workers are
going to be without paychecks. Some have already missed their
first paycheck. President Trump has donors who are stepping in
for our military, and even he has moved around funds
(22:24):
within the government to pay our military, and many of
them are going to be looking for these checks. And
unfortunately it's because of Senate Democrats and even House Democrats
who are encouraging them to keep the government shut down,
that they will not be able to receive that check
and potentially miss important bill payments and struggle to get
(22:46):
food on the table for their families.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Lauren, We've heard Speaker Johnson on this point, and I
think it's right on the money. With regard to the
Democrats trying to appease and appeal to they're far left
lunatic fringe base that is up in arms about what
you've done in the Congress with a big beautiful bill
to recind all the wasteful spending. I've talked with your counterpart,
(23:08):
Representative Gabe Evans about this in which a lot of
these government funded, ie taxpayer funded benefits, medicated, et cetera,
have been.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Going in large numbers to illegal aliens.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
That until or unless Chuck Schumer Hakeem Jeffries are able
to resind that part of the big beautiful bill. That's
what this is all about, and that's the only sticking
point is that accurate.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That is accurate. So they want to continue the COVID
Earro Obamacare subsidies that were passed to match state dollars
with federal dollars. And it's not just a regular match
like we've seen in the past with Obamacare, where the
state puts in one dollar and the federal government matches
it with a dollar thirty three. No, this extended subsidy
(23:52):
has the state puts in, putting in one dollar and
the federal government matching that one dollar with nine federal dollars.
And this is going to illegal aliens healthcare. And it
was going to able bodied adults as well. And this
is something that we corrected in the Big Beautiful Bill,
and also those COVID era Obamacare extensions, those enormous subsidies
(24:18):
are set to expire at the end of the year.
And so Democrats right now are decrying healthcare for illegal
aliens and making Americans suffer in the meantime. You know,
here in Colorado, our military families, we're seeing an increase
up to thirty percent at food pantries. And there's more
(24:40):
than thirty six million dollars in FEMA funding in Colorado
that is currently on hold because of this shutdown. Ryan,
you saw last week the Democrats had an opportunity even
to pay our federal workers, our air traffic controllers, our
TSA agents, are border patrol agents, are federal law enforcement officers,
(25:03):
our military men and women, as they even voted against that,
they would have had all of the others shutdown that
they are fighting for, the government would still not be opened,
but those checks would have been sent to those who
receive a check from the federal government, and they refuse
to do so. And now Snap is in danger. Wick
(25:24):
is in danger. I'm hearing from local counties that are
in fear of their food pantries running empty because there
will be such an increase of people going to them.
And this is a really, really unfortunate that the Democrats
have chose this issue to politicize and harm American families.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Representative Lauren Bolbert joining us for congressional district, and of
course she is right there in Washington watching all of
this unfold in real time, and Lauren, I know something
that you do along with me as you watch how
the left reacts response to something like this, and rather
than focus on fundamental issues like you just did about
what happens during a government shutdown, they're trying to take
(26:05):
the public's eye off the ball with these other issues
that have nothing to do with that. I'm going to
start here. Let you hear Mara Gay New York Times, MSNBC.
They're really fixated on this whole ballroom thing, and that's.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
So disturbing about this, Joe is when you talk to
people who aren't journalists, don't work in politics. On both
sides of the Aisle, Americans just cannot understand how the
President has been able to do this. They are watching
daily the destruction or they were of the East Wing,
and no one is stopping him.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Representative Bobert, what is this reaction, this hyperventilating to not
only the remaking, the remodeling, reimagining, to borrow one of
their favorite terms of the East Wing, and to have
a ballroom that can host heads of state in large numbers.
We know what the President said right now, only about
seventy nine people can be accommodated. That's not acceptable for
twenty twenty five year of our Lord United States of
(27:02):
America having these big events that I know you've attended
as well. And this is something Speaker Johnson has said
it will benefit presidents for decades and maybe even a
century to come.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
So why are they so upset about this?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Anything that President Trump does, the Democrats are going to
display utter outrage. The man could walk on water and
every media station, every liberal media would say, look, he
can't even he can't even swim, and it doesn't matter
what he does, they are going to find an error
in it. The White House has been renovated and additions
(27:38):
have been made for decades, for over a century, certainly,
and this certainly isn't the first, and it won't be
the last. But to be able to, like you said,
bring in heads of states and have these events and
not have them on the lawn under a tent is
something that actually shows strength in America. I mean, President
(28:00):
Trump goes to these events worldwide and it's not stuck
in a tent whenever he is greeted in another country,
So why shouldn't we demonstrate that same excellence here. And
also he has received the last I checked, over three
hundred million dollars in donation. This is at no cost
to the American taxpayer that this is being done, so
(28:21):
he doesn't need approval from the House of Representatives to
get it done, because if there was a bill attached
to a dollar amount, then that's where we would have
to come in. But they're in their demolition phase and
they are working on those renovations. It's going to be
extremely beautiful and as you said, President, for decades to come,
(28:42):
we'll be able to enjoy this I've seen House Republicans
think that they will not support any Democrat candidate for
president in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
It's their number one.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Promise and priority is not to demolish the ballroom that
is being built. That's not an a priority that anybody
wants from a candidate. But you know, this isn't this
doesn't come as a surprise. Everything that President Trump has
said in the past and his campaigned on is what
he is doing. And then the Democrats just show their
(29:17):
utter despise for not only him, but for American greatness
at every turn. If there's anything that they need to
be talking about, it's they're embarrassing shut down and keeping
federal workers unpaid and causing there to be ground stopped
at airports, and of course our troops, who, as I said,
(29:38):
we're seeing in Colorado a more than thirty percent increase
of food pantries, which is unacceptable.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Representative Lauren Bobert joining us here in Ryan schuling Live
one final point to respond to, and it's kind of
a threading of the needle between the ballroom and what
Trump's true intent is with it.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Here's Julie Rojinski.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
Democrat strategists responding to Chris Jansen on it.
Speaker 13 (29:59):
Has a very good, like resting face. He just, you know,
didn't even respond to that. But the question is, is it
Donald Trump to decide who succeeds him a phrenominee.
Speaker 14 (30:11):
Nobody's going to succeed him. He's going to succeed himself.
Let's just be real. He's not building that ballroom because
he's planning on leaving. He's not going anywhere.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
And so now they're saying Representative Bobert that Donald Trump
intends on running yet again to find the Constitution the
twenty second Amendment. I think this is just hilarious that
this is what they're really concerned about in trying to
sell this the American people, that he truly wants to
rule as a dictator.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Well, let the headlines read if President Trump can find
a way to legally run for a third term, Mobbi
the first to endorse him. I cannot believe that that
is his plans with building a ballroom on the east
side of the White House. I hope the president, excuse
Vice President Jadie Vance, decides to run. He's done an
(30:57):
amazing job so far being at the right side of
President Trump, but also we have a very very deep
bench in the Republican Party, so we have a lot
of great people to choose from. And President Trump is
not doing this for selfish reasons. The media loves to
the left wing media loves to paint President Trump as
a selfish man, and they use all of the adjectives
(31:20):
to describe that. But if they were actually to get
to know him, say like Bill Maher did, when Bill
Maher was invited to the White House to have dinner
with him, he said, he's actually a pleasant man, and
he actually listens. He wants to hear what you have
to say, and everything that he does is to benefit
our country. When you have a radical Democrat, a true
(31:43):
blue liberal like Bill Maher who is taking heat from
his base who are far more radical than him, apparently
to defend the honor and integrity and the person the
personal touch that President Trump has, you know, that's really
saying a lot. And if any of them were at
to actually watch what he does and see who benefits
(32:06):
from his victories, they would see that none of this
is about him and him alone. It is about America
and rebuilding the strength that we have lost under Democrat
one party rule in the past and really getting us
better to a better place than we ever have before.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Follow her on X at Rep.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
Bobert boe b e r T Lauren Bolbert, the congresswoman
for Colorado's fourth district.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Lauren, you have the winning hand.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
I know you and Speaker Johnson and I'm hoping Senate
Majority Leader soon all know this.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
The Democrats are going to fold. They have to.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
They will don't give an inch. I know you won't,
but I'm just hoping that this turns out the way
that we know that it can. Absolutely, Thanks so much, Ryan,
all right, Representative Lauren Bobert joining us here on Ryan
Schuling live your thoughts and reaction at five seven seven
three nine, closing out our number one.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
After this, I'll stop the world and melt with you.
Speaker 9 (33:03):
Thanks for that, Shannon Detroit connection re established. It always
feels amazing. And then Lauren Bobert joining us also feels amazing.
Always thankful for her time. She's a star and you
know it, and you can respond five seven seven three nine,
and many of you have.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
We're going to get to a lot of these.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
Please remind Lauren that illegal undocumented aliens are not eligible
for healthcare coverage.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Obamacare or any other texture. You're exactly wrong.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
I've had this very in depth conversation where Representative Gabe Evans,
who's extremely knowledgeable on that subject, and many others, and
this from the Washington Examiner. You can check it out
for yourself from Sally Pipes, and she's.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
A very rock solid journalist reporter.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
Now, this talking point that you have echoed that a
King Jeffries and Chuck Schumer has as well, saying that
Democrats are not trying to provide healthcare for undocumented immigrants, period,
full stop, anyway, shape.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Or farm, etcetera.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
But as Pipe's rights here, the truth is more complicated. Quote,
federal money does indeed make it possible for states to
extend medicaid to millions of illegal immigrants illegal aliens as
I prefer to call them. They were immigrants, they would
come here the right way like my mom did. Democrats
have shut down the government in part.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
To keep things that way.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Pipes continues, Quote one of the methods states used to
federal to funnel federal dollars to health care for illegals
is through quote emergency medicaid. This is the part of
the program intended to reimburse hospitals for providing emergency care
to uninsured patients. In recent years, the amount of federal
(34:43):
money used to provide such care to illegals has soared.
In twenty twenty, emergency Medicaid spending on illegal immigrants was
just two point zh six billion dollars, still a lot,
according to the Foundation of Government Accountability. Four years later,
through the term of Joe Biden, by twenty twenty four,
(35:03):
that figurehead ballooned from two point zero six billion to
six point one five billion dollars allocated for that purpose.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Let's go to another text here, Steven Littleton, retired law.
Speaker 9 (35:16):
Enforcement officer, It's disgusting that the Dems have any support
for being the victims of the problems that they are causing.
Well stated Steve, as always, and petty Patty right here,
very petty here, Patty, she says sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Maybe as a troll only Trump should.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Throw out to the press that alongside the new ballroom,
he will be making room for the Bill Clinton cigar lounge.
Petty Petty Petty strikes again.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Ryan.
Speaker 9 (35:46):
The shutdown issue is leftists protecting their billionaire donors insurance companies.
These are direct payments to the insurance companies once again,
big medicine, big insurance, and you're not wrong. Somebody else
who's not wrong, at least not often. The former host
of this very day part on six point thirty k
how Leland Conway, will join me next. Traffic cameras going
(36:08):
up and north of Denver and throughout the Denver Metro
Are these constitutional?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
It's been a cause celeb from him. He'll join me
to talk about it. Next. Leland Conway Straight Ahead on
