Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Senate rejected a Republican back spending measure that would
have ended the government shutdown. It's the eighth time lawmakers
have failed to advance the build up's already passed by
the House, and it came after President Trump said yesterday
that he's in the process of closing programs popular with Democrats.
Despite those threats and the layoffs of thousands of federal workers,
Democrats aren't budging. They're still demanding an extension of the
(00:22):
enhanced Obamacare subsidies. Yesterday's failed vote makes this shutdown the
fifth longest in US history, and House Speaker Mike Johnson
spoke about the shutdown, saying this, This.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Government shutdown is plainly and simply an exercise in image rehabilitation.
This is an attempt at image rehabilitation for Chuck Schumer
so selfishly completely about himself. He is shutting the government
down to hurt other people.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I'm not sure there's anything that Chuck Schumer can do
to rehabilitate his image at this one. Johnson also said
this about the demands from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
These are unseerious proposals from unserious people, and they are
playing games while real Americans are being harmed adversely by
the shutdown.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Democratic members of Florida's congressional delegation also spoke out yesterday,
with Brower Congresswoman de Wie Wasserman Schultz saying this, of.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
The top twenty five congressional districts with the highest percentage
of people who use the Affordable Care out coverage, seventeen
of them in Florida. But if Trump and Republicans continue
to refuse to negotiate our way out of this healthcare
coverage crisis, it's going to be absolutely brutal, disproportionately for Florida.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And Congressman Darren Sodo added this, there.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Is nothing normal about two million Floridians losing their healthcare,
especially when you add on top of it a massive
Medicaid disenrollman.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
So there's no place for them to go.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And you know, Democrats aren't wrong about the impact this
could have on our state.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Let me break a few things down real quick.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Right now, you've got about four point seven million Floridians
on Obamacare. Alexis Bakowski, the Deputy Commissioner of Life and
Health Insurance for Florida's Department of Financial Services, said rates
could increase by thirty four percent year over year, with
one provider projecting a fifty one percent increase, and that
(02:09):
could lower enrollment by twenty five to thirty percent.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Meeting.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Basically, you've got over one million people, about one point
four million people that could go uninsured next year who
had insurance this year. Now, a lot of the people
who are on those Obamacare exchanges here in Florida won't
be impacted even if the enhanced tax credits go away,
because they're close enough to the poverty line that they'll
(02:33):
still get their subsidies. But there was another interesting notes.
It came during a recent Florida House subcommittee meeting on this.
So what happens in these kinds of situations is if
you have someone who's really sick, who has you know,
pre existing conditions things like that, and they lose their subsidies,
(02:53):
they'll generally try to find the money to keep their coverage.
It's more cost effective for them than losing the cover.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
And then the actual bills.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
But people who are healthy, they'll just drop it, and
so that makes the risk pool for insurers worse, which
leads to rate increases. Sense, Yeah, it has kind of
a domino effect at this point, I think the bottom line,
you know, it's a problem the Congress has to solve
one way or another. They have to make a decision
on this. I didn't think Democrats needed to shut down
(03:23):
the government over it, but here we are, so like,
just negotiate and figure out a fix and I think
your best but probably like a one year extension with
some caveats built in that Republicans want, and you just
push this past next year's election.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But we're still a ways away from any kind of
deal like that.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Let's go to the high line and bring in Fox
News Radio congressional correspondent Ryan Schmels. You can follow him
on x for all the latest from Capitol Hill at
Ryan Schmell's Fox and Ryan. Yesterday, another day ending and Why,
which meant another failed vote in the Senate on ending
the government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
What's the latest?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
You're right, Yeah, we're getting to the point where they
don't even have full attendance for these votes anymore. I
think yesterday it was forty nine to forty five or
something like that. So yeah, it's interesting, another drag on process.
It appears that there are some talks now that are
there starting or that Leader Foon has eluded this idea
of there maybe being an off ramp.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
For some Democrats and maybe some type.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Of compromise that could be worked on with the Affordable
Care Act tax subsidies, but still nothing on paper just yet.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's sounding more and more like like everyone Democrats, Republicans
in the White House, they think this is going to
be a long shutdown. I mean, even if they start
having those kinds of talks, it's going to take a
minute to reach a deal.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Exactly. And that's going to be the problem.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
If Democrats decide that, you know, there is some type
of handshake agreement or or something like that that works,
you know, they still have to negotiate the actual details
of it and what it's going to look like. And
I'll obviously that they have to negotiate something that would
be able to pass both the Senate and the House.
The Senate would be the easy part. So that that's
(05:07):
kind of where I think the problem is right now.
And you know, Democrats to keep alluding to this lack
of trust that they had with.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Republicans, that's why they need this to be resolved right now.
But Republicans is still said, you know, this is a
way too complicated of a policy issue for you to
just throw it all together right now and attach it,
especially a seven week spending bilad.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It doesn't sound like the layoffs of federal workers or
the threat that we've heard from the President to get
rid of some programs that are backed by Democrats, that
that's having any real impact on the coalition, the Democratic
(05:50):
coalition that that is in favor of this shutdown.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah, it hasn't yet.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
I think there's always the fun on law longer and
longer it becomes a severe problem, you know, But it
hasn't moved Democrats just yet. And Democrats have talked about
how they believe there.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Are going to be legal ramifications and ways in which
they can go about challenging some of these firings in court,
but we haven't really seen exactly what that looks like
just yet. But you know, four thousand employees throughout the
various different government agencies, you know, education, whatnot.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
And that's just the beginning. Possibly.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
We're joined by Fox News Radio congressional correspondent Bryan Schmels.
When was the last time the House did any actual work?
I mean, they had their summer break from late July
and till September then you had the whole Epstein files
tied to the and the and the shutdown. It all
kind of came together for a break that's gone on
since late September. I mean, how's han't done anything in forever.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Now.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
They haven't been in session since they actually passed that
bill to the cent Lee reopened the government, uh or
to keep the government open, and ever since then they've
they've been out of session.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
And Speaker Johnson has said the reason he's doing this
is because it's I mean.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
It's in some ways it's a strategy, right.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
The idea is we leave town, or we vote for
our bill, we leave town, and we're not coming back
to you pass it. The Senate did the same thing
with the one big.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
Beautiful Bill Act of the House, and essentially they've got
to either I mean, figure John's tell them we'll come
back as soon as you reopened the government.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
And that's kept ADELIEA. Grhalva from being sworn in. It's
it's it's I mean, it's I.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Leader Scalize yesterday, this is going to be a problem
for the actually getting the actual budget done, and he
didn't seem like you.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I mean, he said that pretty much put the blame
on Democrats once again.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
A right Foston Is Radio Congressional correspondent Ryan Schmells with us.
Ryan really appreciate the time, Thanks so much, Thank you, Ryan,
And yeah, I just wanted to bring that up because
again they had their summer break that was that was
like the last week of July until the beginning of September.
Then remember that that issue over the Epstein files came up,
(08:12):
and so House Speaker Mike Johnson, he kind of shut
everything down. That led right into the shutdown which has
gone on and slipped. I mean, they haven't they have
been doing any work in DC and forever I know, yes,
freaking ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Yeah, and even when they are like working there stuff,
actually getting anything.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Done right exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, let's bring in our national correspondent Rory O'Neil, whose
report is brought to.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You by Mark Spain real Estate.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So, Rory, the government shutdown continues with honestly no immediate
end in sights.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
No, not at all.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
You know, even the latest vote in the Senate on
that continuing resolution, it lost a vote last night because
John Fetterman didn't even show up. The Democrat from Pennsylvania
had been voting with Republicans to support the CR that
would keep the government going through November twenty first, although
we are hearing more grumblings though they may never pass
the CR and instead just turn their attention on the
(09:04):
full spending plan for next year. Some senators said, look,
we're already what eighty five percent of the way there,
Let's just do the last fifteen percent and do this
in one fail swoop, because otherwise we're just setting ourselves
up for the same dance a month from now.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Look, I didn't think that Democrats needed to shut down
the government over this Obamacare enhance subsidy issue, but you
know we're here now. Just negotiate and figure out a
fix one way or the other. But this is a
problem that is going to have to be tackled at
some point.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You're either going to extend the subsidies, you're going to
make changes to them, or you're not going to extend
them at all. It seems like there is a push
among not just Democrats, but even some Republicans to do
some kind of an extension because you've got a lot
of voters in red districts here in Florida. You've got
(10:00):
about four point seven million Floridians on Obamacare. Not all
of them are getting those enhanced subsidies, but it impacts
the marketplace overall what happens there, So you know, you
would figure I think at this point the best bet is, like,
you know, went to a one year extension, push this
toll after the election and maybe build in a few
(10:21):
caveats that Republicans want and move on.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
Well, and there are no negotiations happening, right, I mean,
that's the other thing is that it's not as if
both sides are huddling up to see where do we
go from here?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
You know, there aren't any talks.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
There are no the President Trump hasn't hosted anyone at
the White House again to try to break through the
impass or nothing dramatic like that.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Understandably, the President's been a little busy lately.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
Yeah, but you know, we're not seeing that kind of
symbolism we're seeing again. I just think some polling up
this morning showed that the gap between blaming Republicans and
Democrats is now closing, So it's now closer to being
an evil equal amount of blame on both parties. It's
still Republicans by six points. I guess get More blamed
(11:08):
was eleven, so that has been cut in half. So yeah,
so far it doesn't seem like anyone is winning it now.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
No, it's funny. I think both sides think they're doing well.
That's why they're so dug in. I think most of
us are looking at it like nobody's winning this thing.
It's a bunch of nonsense, like figure it out, and again,
maybe that is what they do. Just go and get
the whole budget package done instead of this continuing resolution
at this point, but start doing something up there. I mean,
(11:36):
because what's happening right now with these votes that are
automatically going to fail, it's a waste of everyone's time.
We're joined by our national correspondent Rory O'Neil. So there
are rumblings that an indictment is coming for a former
Trump national security advisor, John Bolton. You have this press
conference in the Oval Office schedule today at three o'clock
(11:58):
with President Trump and FBI Director Ashtel. Don't know if
that has anything to do with it, but you can
obviously see a pattern here. First it was former FBI
Director James comy Uh. Then you had New York Attorney
General Letitia James. Uh, now we could see Trump former
Trump National Security advisor John Bolton indicted.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
Well, right, and to have if this is the announcement
that's happening in the Oval Office today, Boy, that would
violate every protocol of you know, I mean because now
there's no separation between Ralph Office and the Justice Department.
Keep in mind it is cash Betel, not ag BONDI there,
so i'd be the maybe files.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, yeah, maybe that's what it is. Yeah, I wouldn't
hold your bread not from the Oval. There's certainly not
from the Oval. And that's the other thing.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
So yeah, I'm not sure what this afternoon is specifically
going to be about. Maybe Antifa related, I think, probably
more related to Portland and Chicago. We'll see, because again
we like to think there's that wall between the Oval
Office and the d o J.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, I don't think there is, uh these days.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
And I think the Comy case, Uh, that's one that
the Department of Justice they're not gonna win.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
And you've heard how the Comy allegation. What it is
that he was sending himself notes to his AOL account.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's just it seems very uh convoluted and
a bit of a stretch. The Letitia James case. Uh,
I think there's some problems with that one. Probably maybe
a little bit better of a case, uh there than
than the Comy case.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And then and then John Baldon.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I don't know, we'll see once.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I'm pretty sure an indictment's coming uh at some point.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You also have Adam Schiff, I know they're they're looking
at him. Who else are there? Are there more?
Speaker 9 (13:47):
I again, a few more J six Committee people might
be in the mix there, you know, I'm not sure,
you know, Adam Kinzinger maybe in the mix or well,
I guess they're all they're all protected now.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
But it's yeah, we don't think we're done here.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, all these indictments and Hillary Clinton never got locked up,
that's true, you know, Yeah, all those chants.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Years ago, Yeah, she she got away with it. And
the Biden crime family too.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Our national correspondent Rory O'Neill with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Rory, thanks so much, Thanks Bryan.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
The Ryan Gorman Show five to nine every weekday morning
on news radio tell U f l A

know we're here now. Just negotiate and figure out a
fix one way or the other. But this is a
problem that is going to have to be tackled at
some point.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You're either going to extend the subsidies, you're going to
make changes to them, or you're not going to extend
them at all. It seems like there is a push
among not just Democrats, but even some Republicans to do
some kind of an extension because you've got a lot
of voters in red districts here in Florida. You've got
(10:00):
about four point seven million Floridians on Obamacare. Not all
of them are getting those enhanced subsidies, but it impacts
the marketplace overall what happens there, So you know, you
would figure I think at this point the best bet is, like,
you know, went to a one year extension, push this
toll after the election and maybe build in a few
(10:21):
caveats that Republicans want and move on.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
Well, and there are no negotiations happening, right, I mean,
that's the other thing is that it's not as if
both sides are huddling up to see where do we
go from here?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
You know, there aren't any talks.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
There are no the President Trump hasn't hosted anyone at
the White House again to try to break through the
impass or nothing dramatic like that.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Understandably, the President's been a little busy lately.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
Yeah, but you know, we're not seeing that kind of
symbolism we're seeing again. I just think some polling up
this morning showed that the gap between blaming Republicans and
Democrats is now closing, So it's now closer to being
an evil equal amount of blame on both parties. It's
still Republicans by six points. I guess get More blamed
(11:08):
was eleven, so that has been cut in half. So yeah,
so far it doesn't seem like anyone is winning it now.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
No, it's funny. I think both sides think they're doing well.
That's why they're so dug in. I think most of
us are looking at it like nobody's winning this thing.
It's a bunch of nonsense, like figure it out, and again,
maybe that is what they do. Just go and get
the whole budget package done instead of this continuing resolution
at this point, but start doing something up there. I mean,
(11:36):
because what's happening right now with these votes that are
automatically going to fail, it's a waste of everyone's time.
We're joined by our national correspondent Rory O'Neil. So there
are rumblings that an indictment is coming for a former
Trump national security advisor, John Bolton. You have this press
conference in the Oval Office schedule today at three o'clock
(11:58):
with President Trump and FBI Director Ashtel. Don't know if
that has anything to do with it, but you can
obviously see a pattern here. First it was former FBI
Director James comy Uh. Then you had New York Attorney
General Letitia James. Uh, now we could see Trump former
Trump National Security advisor John Bolton indicted.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
Well, right, and to have if this is the announcement
that's happening in the Oval Office today, Boy, that would
violate every protocol of you know, I mean because now
there's no separation between Ralph Office and the Justice Department.
Keep in mind it is cash Betel, not ag BONDI there,
so i'd be the maybe files.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, yeah, maybe that's what it is. Yeah, I wouldn't
hold your bread not from the Oval. There's certainly not
from the Oval. And that's the other thing.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
So yeah, I'm not sure what this afternoon is specifically
going to be about. Maybe Antifa related, I think, probably
more related to Portland and Chicago. We'll see, because again
we like to think there's that wall between the Oval
Office and the d o J.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, I don't think there is, uh these days.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
And I think the Comy case, Uh, that's one that
the Department of Justice they're not gonna win.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
And you've heard how the Comy allegation. What it is
that he was sending himself notes to his AOL account.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's just it seems very uh convoluted and
a bit of a stretch. The Letitia James case. Uh,
I think there's some problems with that one. Probably maybe
a little bit better of a case, uh there than
than the Comy case.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And then and then John Baldon.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I don't know, we'll see once.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I'm pretty sure an indictment's coming uh at some point.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You also have Adam Schiff, I know they're they're looking
at him. Who else are there? Are there more?
Speaker 9 (13:47):
I again, a few more J six Committee people might
be in the mix there, you know, I'm not sure,
you know, Adam Kinzinger maybe in the mix or well,
I guess they're all they're all protected now.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
But it's yeah, we don't think we're done here.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, all these indictments and Hillary Clinton never got locked up,
that's true, you know, Yeah, all those chants.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Years ago, Yeah, she she got away with it. And
the Biden crime family too.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Our national correspondent Rory O'Neill with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Rory, thanks so much, Thanks Bryan.
