Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's go straight to the hotline now and bring in
Fox and THEWS Radio congressional correspondent Ryan Schmels. You could
follow him for more on X at Ryan Schmell's Fox
and Ryan. Government shutdown continues, and it doesn't look like
there's an end in sight at.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
The moment, and not right now. Leader fun Ryan has
alluded to some discussions that are on going between a
bipartisan group of lawmakers, but that has not really materialized
in any type of plan as of right now. So it
looks like this The strategy right now is to have
a boat later today on the exact same bill that
(00:34):
Republicans have continued to bring to the floor over and
over again and see if any Democrats flop today.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, he had some interesting comments yesterday.
He's pushing for another meeting between congressional leaders and President Trump.
Any indication that that is something that might happen.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Maybe a little bit of possibilities. Speaker Johnson's supposed to
talk a little bit later on today. We'll see if
he's open for it. But Speaker Johnson was pretty firm
on Friday that you don't think there's anything to negotiate.
He thinks that Democrats should take the deal it's on
the table because the Republicans feel that it's a good deal,
which is a clean extension of government funding until late November.
But Democrats have held firm that they want these healthcare
(01:16):
provisions or some type of check on President Trump's ability
to cut spending as an agreement to get them to yes.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And then Democrats they're going to be holding some like
virtual meeting later on today. Any chance that could lead
to some movement or that's more a rallying the troops
around the cause kind of deal.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
They've been doing a couple of these late ladies conference
calls now. Of course, if anybody starts to signal any
type of you know, breaking of the damn type of
mentality where they might be willing to jump off board.
You know, back in March, when they last time we
were in a government shut funding battle, there was a
closed door meeting amongst Democrats and you could hear people
(02:00):
yelling through the walls, and Kristen Gillibrand was telling them,
you know, we're going to get blamed for the shutdown
if we shut down the government. And then you saw
enough Democrats break to get to break that filibuster, but
that has not been the case this time around. And
I think there's a feeling amongst Democrats that they feel
it Republicans will be the ones to get blamed for this.
So there's kind of a messaging war going off on
(02:22):
top of all this.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
And last thing, real quick, any indication the White House
is ready to move forward with those firings of federal
workers in the next day or two. Is that still
something that's being talked about, but no real readiness to
move just yet.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, President Trump had a meeting with Russfolte last week
on this. You know, it seems like this is something
they're going to move forward with if the shutdown drags on.
So I think it certainly still is a possibility. Caroline
Levitt said it could be upboards of thousands of people
who could who could be laid off because of this,
So I don't see this as something that is going
(03:01):
away anytime soon. So I think it certainly is still possible.
Just the logistics are still up in the air now.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I Fastin is ready of Congressional correspondent Ryan Smells with us.
Ryan always appreciate the insight. Thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Hey, thank you Ryan. Everyone.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Let's bring in our national correspondent, Rory O'Neil, who supports
brought to you by Mark Spain real Estate. So, Rory,
the government shutdown continues, and it doesn't look like there's
an end in sight, at least in the near term.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, because the House is not in session. Actually, the
members have been told to go back to your districts.
This is district work time. So now you're forcing the
hand of the Senate Democrats. The only thing they have
to vote on will be this continuing resolution, which has
failed several times, although three who caucus with Democrats have
flipped so as one Republican flipped to the Democratic side,
(03:50):
and it looks like they'll have more votes on it.
But yeah, there really isn't much to negotiate without the
House being nearby.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, And the reason that I don't think this is
going to end, of course, the next couple of days.
First of all, you have both sides. They think they're
winning the messaging battle right now. I don't necessarily think
anybody's winning, but they think that they're holding their own
and people really aren't feeling the effects of the government
(04:19):
shut down, So you don't have federal workers or members
of the military missing their paycheck yet that'll come later
this month. So yeah, they've got a little room to
maneuver and drag this out before things start to get dicey.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
And also you have Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
They are trying to hang in there with this shutdown
as people are getting those notices about their health insurance
premiums if they have policies on the marketplace for twenty
twenty six. Yeah, yeah, so they're wanting more and more
people to get those in hopes that it will boost
support for what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Right, I sent you to say, what do you mean
my health insurance is going up thirty percent or whatever
it may be that that might then get them to
direct anger appropriately. But you know, it's still a bit
of a gamble. As you said, you know, it seems
to be a pox on both their houses and not
that either side is really winning here.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, And the other thing to watch is what the
Trump administration decides to do. If they start these mass
firings of federal workers and using the government shutdown in
order to carry that out, then the messaging might change.
So if I were Trump, I would just you know,
(05:41):
sit back right now and you know, keep blaming the
Democrats because they are the ones who decided to shut
things down. I mean, they have the power here, the leverage.
It's like the only thing they have any leverage of
at this point. But if that happens, if you start
seeing some mass firings, then the narrative could change and
that could make a difference as well.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Do you think though, that you know this argument that
well it's that I'm firing these people because of the
Democratic shutdown.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Is that going to fly? I don't think so. I
think it's I think it's a mistake.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And some Republicans have even come out and said, you know,
don't don't go down that road.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
It'd be an unforced error.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
What what I do think is interesting is the talk
that we heard from the President and the Senate Majority
leader over an extension of those enhanced Obamacare subsidies and
what Thune said. John Thune, the Senate Majority leader, he
said that there would have to be big reforms because
(06:39):
the whole Obamacare system is flawed. And Trump said, essentially,
Obamacare is a disaster. We have to have it fixed.
But we haven't seen any we haven't seen any plan
for how to fix it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well, we're still waiting.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I mean, President Trump promised a healthcare plan in his
first administration that he never offered. Well, it's gonna be
those are two weeks, two weeks, I'll get you my
health care plan.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
And that was you know, seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, the initial one that was voted down, remember John
McCain with thumbs down. But then, yeah, there have been
promises of plans to replace Obamacare.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
We haven't seen them.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So you know, if Democrats start putting pressure on Republicans
to call their bluff essentially say all right, you want
to fix Obamacare, Well what is it that you want
to do, that's when things will get interesting. Right now,
we're not at that point, but that could be where
we're headed. And look, Republicans have been how many years
to come up with the repeal and replace plan, so
(07:40):
I kind of want to see what they have at
this point.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, they're not talking about well, and that's not something
they talk about much anymore because it has become popular
or at least if not popular. Certainly there are tens
of billions of Americans who rely on right so you know,
and again the pricing, the pricing isn't very popular. That's
for sure, or the quality of the healthcare plans themselves,
the subsidies of populars. The subsidies are popular, but yeah,
(08:04):
but a lot of people are not happy with the
plans as they are.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I would certainly like to see a potential fix and
a replacement for that, but so far we haven't seen
any details yet. All right, let's get to another story
you're covering this morning. We're joined by our national correspondent
Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
What the hell.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Happened with former Jets quarterback and Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez.
I was following this story all weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Huh fund early Saturday or crazy. So a guy has
a company. He's driving his box truck backed up into
an alley. The business is essentially pumping out used cooking
oil at restaurants. So it's twelve thirty in the morning.
It's that kind of overnight work that you do. And
then Sanchez, who's in town to cover the Colts game
(08:47):
the next day, apparently smelling of alcohol, goes up and
gets into a fight with this guy. Is climbing into
the truck, out of the truck, back in again. He
picked up the guy, threw him to the ground. The
sixty nine year old has some grizzly, grizzly injuries and
Sanchez himself, the old man was able to stab him
repeatedly and cover him with pepper spray. Sanchez stumbled over
(09:10):
to a nearby bar to get help. Blood and then
blood everywhere, and then apparently was arrested at the hospital.
So h with a series of misdemeano charges against him.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Now, yeah, I saw the headlines Mark Sanchez stabbed and
you know in the hospital and serious condition.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I'm like, oh my god, what happened? And then you
learned that it's like his.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Fault, Yeah, for no reason, just got into this beef
with this cat.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, and then he couldn't call obviously the game that
he was in Indianapolis to call, they had to bring
somebody else in.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
So really weird story.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So it will be I'm guessing he's going to be
wished well in his future.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah. Ever, thank you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Rory O'Neil, our national correspondent with US Rory, thanks so much.
Thanks Ryan Mark Sanchez. He was not a very good
quarterback for the Jesse. He didn't have a great NFL career.
He's been pretty good as an analyst, you know, back
in the day. It really was in his on the
field performance that was getting a lot of acclaim. It
was off the field before he was hooking up with
like Eva Longoria. Oh really, Oh yeah. He had quite
(10:16):
Kate OpEd in. He had a little list there of
women that he was associated with. He's supposed to be
a family man now and have gone down. But federal
judge has blocked the Trump administration from sending members of
the National Guard to Portland. US District Judge Karen Emergat
issued a temporary restraining order last night, halting the planned
(10:38):
deployment of up to three hundred California National Guard troops.
The order came in response to a motion found at
the State of California, which i argued the deployment was unconstitutional.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Murgat, who was appointed by Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
In twenty nineteen, said Trump's description of Portland as war
ravaged was simply untethered to the facts. It's a pretty
rough thirty one page a pin. When asked about the
judge halting his efforts to send in the Guard, Trump
trashed her and repeatedly misidentified her as a man. She's
not transgender or anything. I think he just was confused,
(11:12):
and then Stephen Miller he slammed the ruling, calling it
a legal insurrection. Now, over the weekend, crowds of protesters
grew at an ice facility in South Portland, and eventually
federal agents fired off tear gas canisters. They also fired
flash bang grenades and pepper balls after demonstrators blocked the
road in front of the building. Something about the Northwest?
(11:35):
What is it with Portland and Seattle and these demonstrations
that turn violence? Is it because it's always like cloudy
and rainy.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I think there's probably part of it, like people just
have like like what is it seasonal effectiveness her or something. Yeah,
they just have it all the time because it's gloomy
and cloudy there, and it's just it's very very liberal,
are too, Yeah, it's part of it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's liberal. But you know, Connecticut's liberal. And I don't
know this.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Something's rich, that's true. That's a really good point. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think of Oregon and Washington, the Northwest, the trees,
nature hiking, but.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Now I just think of like Antifa and rocketers and stuff. Yeah,
my bomb's angry.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Right, And I was looking at some of the video
of this now, I look, Portland's not war ravaged, and
I think the Trump administration they just hurt themselves in
court all the time by overstating things. So that was
a big part of the problem with that battle in
court again with the Trump appointed judge. Although I do
think if the Trump administration wants to send the National
(12:46):
Guarden to specifically protect like an ice facility, a federal
building or something like that, I think eventually they'll win
that in court. But I was looking at some of
the images and these protesters they've got some serious gear now,
like they've got helmets and.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Oh yeah, it just looks like it looks like riot.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, it was hard to tell for a second the
difference between the federal agents and the protesters.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
So where are they getting the money from? That's a
good question.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's fancy stuff they've got because they know now that
they're going to get the pepper spray and all of that,
so they're planning for that.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
And who are these people?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
People talk about Antifa, and I think Senator Rick Scotty
wants to designate them a terrorist organization.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And all of that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I don't I don't know who's the leader of Antifa
like that I don't know that hierarchy.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I don't know that they have a leader.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
But they're typically young men or angry young women, and
they just, yeah, this is what they do. Is they
just protest and stuff. But do they have jobs? Is
this like a secret sidelife that they're living.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I don't know, and they're I guess.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I mean, some of them, I do think come from
out of state and cause trouble.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But you know a lot of them, they got to
be living up there in Portland or so.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, I think they should maybe they should move to
the Sunshine State. And you know, we don't well, we
don't want their politics, but I think a little sunshine might.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Change their perspective a little bit. I think that's part
of the problem.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Apple and Google have blocked downloads of apps used to
crowdsource ice agent sightings, following pressure from the Trump administration
and Attorney General Tambondi. Bondi argued the apps, including the
popular ice block, endangered immigration officers. Apple confirmed it removed
several similar apps after law enforcement said they violated rules
(14:35):
by sharing law enforcement location data.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Then Google followed suit.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Developers and immigrant rights advocates condemned the move as a
violation of free speech and government overreach, calling it a
chilling President and ice Block creator Joshua Aaron said the
app was meant to protect immigrant communities and work like
Ways or Google Maps, allowing users to report enforcement activity.
So the problem with these apps, I think was that
(15:02):
they were being used to actively hinder federal immigration operations.
If it was just you know, here's where they are
or something along those lines, then I think, you know,
you have some free speech protections and some First Amendment
rights and things like that. The problem was they were
(15:23):
being used to either help people actively evade immigration enforcement
or in some cases organize and make it more difficult
make it dangerous for ICE agents to conduct these operations.
That's where I think it crossed a certain line. But
I will be honest with you. As much as I
don't like those apps and I think these cities and
(15:45):
states should be cooperating with federal immigration enforcement operations, I
get nervous when like Apple, Google start Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Well, and when you see Tim Cook and the Google
CEO hanging out with Trump, then yah know that it's
the relationship there that's making them make these decisions.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It goes back to like during the Biden administration with COVID,
the pressure on the tech companies to follow suit, So
that does make me a little bit nervous.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
There
Let's go straight to the hotline now and bring in
Fox and THEWS Radio congressional correspondent Ryan Schmels. You could
follow him for more on X at Ryan Schmell's Fox

the truck, out of the truck, back in again. He
picked up the guy, threw him to the ground. The
sixty nine year old has some grizzly, grizzly injuries and
Sanchez himself, the old man was able to stab him
repeatedly and cover him with pepper spray. Sanchez stumbled over
(09:10):
to a nearby bar to get help. Blood and then
blood everywhere, and then apparently was arrested at the hospital.
So h with a series of misdemeano charges against him.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Now, yeah, I saw the headlines Mark Sanchez stabbed and
you know in the hospital and serious condition.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I'm like, oh my god, what happened? And then you
learned that it's like his.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Fault, Yeah, for no reason, just got into this beef
with this cat.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, and then he couldn't call obviously the game that
he was in Indianapolis to call, they had to bring
somebody else in.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
So really weird story.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So it will be I'm guessing he's going to be
wished well in his future.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah. Ever, thank you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Rory O'Neil, our national correspondent with US Rory, thanks so much.
Thanks Ryan Mark Sanchez. He was not a very good
quarterback for the Jesse. He didn't have a great NFL career.
He's been pretty good as an analyst, you know, back
in the day. It really was in his on the
field performance that was getting a lot of acclaim. It
was off the field before he was hooking up with
like Eva Longoria. Oh really, Oh yeah. He had quite
(10:16):
Kate OpEd in. He had a little list there of
women that he was associated with. He's supposed to be
a family man now and have gone down. But federal
judge has blocked the Trump administration from sending members of
the National Guard to Portland. US District Judge Karen Emergat
issued a temporary restraining order last night, halting the planned
(10:38):
deployment of up to three hundred California National Guard troops.
The order came in response to a motion found at
the State of California, which i argued the deployment was unconstitutional.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Murgat, who was appointed by Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
In twenty nineteen, said Trump's description of Portland as war
ravaged was simply untethered to the facts. It's a pretty
rough thirty one page a pin. When asked about the
judge halting his efforts to send in the Guard, Trump
trashed her and repeatedly misidentified her as a man. She's
not transgender or anything. I think he just was confused,
(11:12):
and then Stephen Miller he slammed the ruling, calling it
a legal insurrection. Now, over the weekend, crowds of protesters
grew at an ice facility in South Portland, and eventually
federal agents fired off tear gas canisters. They also fired
flash bang grenades and pepper balls after demonstrators blocked the
road in front of the building. Something about the Northwest?
(11:35):
What is it with Portland and Seattle and these demonstrations
that turn violence? Is it because it's always like cloudy
and rainy.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I think there's probably part of it, like people just
have like like what is it seasonal effectiveness her or something. Yeah,
they just have it all the time because it's gloomy
and cloudy there, and it's just it's very very liberal,
are too, Yeah, it's part of it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's liberal. But you know, Connecticut's liberal. And I don't
know this.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Something's rich, that's true. That's a really good point. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think of Oregon and Washington, the Northwest, the trees,
nature hiking, but.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Now I just think of like Antifa and rocketers and stuff. Yeah,
my bomb's angry.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Right, And I was looking at some of the video
of this now, I look, Portland's not war ravaged, and
I think the Trump administration they just hurt themselves in
court all the time by overstating things. So that was
a big part of the problem with that battle in
court again with the Trump appointed judge. Although I do
think if the Trump administration wants to send the National
(12:46):
Guarden to specifically protect like an ice facility, a federal
building or something like that, I think eventually they'll win
that in court. But I was looking at some of
the images and these protesters they've got some serious gear now,
like they've got helmets and.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Oh yeah, it just looks like it looks like riot.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, it was hard to tell for a second the
difference between the federal agents and the protesters.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
So where are they getting the money from? That's a
good question.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's fancy stuff they've got because they know now that
they're going to get the pepper spray and all of that,
so they're planning for that.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
And who are these people?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
People talk about Antifa, and I think Senator Rick Scotty
wants to designate them a terrorist organization.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And all of that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I don't I don't know who's the leader of Antifa
like that I don't know that hierarchy.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I don't know that they have a leader.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
But they're typically young men or angry young women, and
they just, yeah, this is what they do. Is they
just protest and stuff. But do they have jobs? Is
this like a secret sidelife that they're living.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I don't know, and they're I guess.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I mean, some of them, I do think come from
out of state and cause trouble.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But you know a lot of them, they got to
be living up there in Portland or so.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, I think they should maybe they should move to
the Sunshine State. And you know, we don't well, we
don't want their politics, but I think a little sunshine might.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Change their perspective a little bit. I think that's part
of the problem.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Apple and Google have blocked downloads of apps used to
crowdsource ice agent sightings, following pressure from the Trump administration
and Attorney General Tambondi. Bondi argued the apps, including the
popular ice block, endangered immigration officers. Apple confirmed it removed
several similar apps after law enforcement said they violated rules
(14:35):
by sharing law enforcement location data.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Then Google followed suit.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Developers and immigrant rights advocates condemned the move as a
violation of free speech and government overreach, calling it a
chilling President and ice Block creator Joshua Aaron said the
app was meant to protect immigrant communities and work like
Ways or Google Maps, allowing users to report enforcement activity.
So the problem with these apps, I think was that
(15:02):
they were being used to actively hinder federal immigration operations.
If it was just you know, here's where they are
or something along those lines, then I think, you know,
you have some free speech protections and some First Amendment
rights and things like that. The problem was they were
(15:23):
being used to either help people actively evade immigration enforcement
or in some cases organize and make it more difficult
make it dangerous for ICE agents to conduct these operations.
That's where I think it crossed a certain line. But
I will be honest with you. As much as I
don't like those apps and I think these cities and
(15:45):
states should be cooperating with federal immigration enforcement operations, I
get nervous when like Apple, Google start Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Well, and when you see Tim Cook and the Google
CEO hanging out with Trump, then yah know that it's
the relationship there that's making them make these decisions.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It goes back to like during the Biden administration with COVID,
the pressure on the tech companies to follow suit, So
that does make me a little bit nervous.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
