Is Congress's chaotic budget battle setting the stage for a government shutdown? Join us for a no-holds-barred discussion on The Ryan Samuels Show as we dissect the current state of American politics. We tackle the controversial budget bill, which is bursting at the seams with unrelated pork spending, and explore the implications of such legislative practices on the call for a government shutdown. With voices like Vivek Ramaswami demanding greater accountability and Elon Musk pushing for transparency in congressional processes, we highlight the growing frustration among Americans with the opaque nature of government operations. Also, listen in as we unravel the confusion surrounding the drones over New Jersey and discuss the tragic case of Natalie Rupnow, emphasizing the necessity of stable family environments.
Our conversation doesn't shy away from criticizing systemic corruption and inefficiencies plaguing Washington, D.C. As we explore Ron DeSantis's harsh critiques of Congress's fiscal management, we shed light on the insufficient disaster aid for North Carolina's struggling agricultural sector. Marjorie Taylor Greene's insights into the shifting budget dynamics, moving towards an omnibus bill, paint a picture of a legislative process in disarray. We also scrutinize Speaker Johnson's controversial legislative maneuvers and the broader implications for transparency and accountability, especially in sensitive investigations like those concerning January 6th. This episode pulls no punches in uncovering the bipartisan issues of corruption that persist, regardless of which party is in power.

media.

politics.

Here is your host, ryan Samuels.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Hello Patriots, welcome to the show.
We have a good show here today.
We're going to follow up onNatalie Rupnow.
We have some new information onthat killer in madison,
wisconsin, with the school um,uh, shooting there.
Um also, congress is in chaos,threats of a government shutdown
(01:17):
and drones turned out to be amassive popcorn fart over new
jersey.
Apparently, these are ourdrones.
This is something that I hadalluded to.
I'll take to be a massivepopcorn fart over New Jersey.
Apparently, these are ourdrones.
This is something that I hadalluded to.
I'll take partial credit for it.
I didn't really say.
I said it's probably either anenemy that they know about or
(01:39):
they're our drones and they didnot seem very concerned at all.
The government with thesituation, very concerned at all
the government with thesituation.
Turns out it's a local AirForce base testing out some new
equipment who already put out arequest for the FAA and got
approval, which is all publicknowledge which anybody could
(01:59):
have found.
So a lot of poor journalism inthe government if it wasn't some
top secret operation.
They just couldn't come out.
They just didn't come out andsay like hey, uh, we're, uh,
yeah, we're doing that, like thegovernment didn't even know
they were acting like.
It was like this, this bigsecret, and it wasn't, because
(02:20):
all the information waspublished, you know, months ago.
So that turned out to benothing, burger, um, and that's
okay.
That's why we look for things,okay, um, and that's why we seek
the truth.
Now there are a little bit ofconspiracy theories saying, oh,
they backdated these reports,these, these requests for
flights have been out for months.
Like you, you can't just gopublish things from months ago
(02:48):
and then redo it.
So, natalie Rupnow it turns outshe was living in what they call
a tumultuous situation.
Her parents have been divorcedand back together and then
divorced and divorced and backtogether, apparently very, uh,
not a very good relationship.
(03:09):
The nuclear family is extremelyimportant to a child.
Um, that's something that Ibelieve firmly.
I believe that, um, if you'regoing to have a child, you need
to, it needs to be planned andyou need to be with the person
that it's going to be withforever, and not just
recklessness, um, which we see alot in our youth today.
(03:34):
But congress is going throughit right now.
They're trying to pass thisbudget bill which is just full
of just pork right now.
If you don't know what pork ina bill is.
It's just a whole lot ofnonsense, things that have
nothing to do with the actualbill.
The Americans are calling forCongress just to shut the
(03:57):
government down.
We don't care.
That's kind of what's going on.
We're going to cover that andwe'll be right back.

So the calls for the governmentshutdown are out there.
They are being led by VivekRamaswani, who's part of the new
Department of GovernmentEfficiency, which isn't an
actual department of the federalgovernment.
(05:21):
It's just a clever name thatElon.
Elon came up with that uhrelates to the dogecoin that he
loved so much, but they'retasked with finding just
wasteful spending in thegovernment and getting rid of it
.
And this is the.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
The budget bill came out and they're both looking at
it, and here is what vivekramaswani had to say this is
about to pass a bill that blowsaway your taxpayer money, but
they made it over 1500 pageslong so you wouldn't read it.
I did you a favor.
I read it for you.
It's supposed to be aboutkeeping government operations
open and providing disasterrelief aid to hurricane victims,
which I'm sympathetic to.
(05:56):
But if you read the billcarefully, it contains pay
raises for members of Congressand I'm not making this up an
expansion of their federalhealth benefits.
It contains all kinds ofspecial interests and pork
funding, including opening up anew stadium in Washington DC.
It renews the Global EngagementCenter, which the government.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We see this all the time in local cities where the
city will pay for, like YankeeStadium to be built or the
Jacksonville Jaguar Stadium.
No, like your taxpayer dollarsshould not.
If your government has enoughmoney to build stadiums with
your money, then they need tocharge you less money, not
figure out how to spend it more.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Which is a key node of the censorship industrial
complex, and the worst part isthey didn't want you to know
about any of it and that's whythey made this a last minute jam
job.
The reason I'm co-heading Dogeis I think we need outsiders to
bring actual accountability toWashington DC, so feel free to
call your congressman and lethim know how you feel about it.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Call your congressperson.
This is, this is something Istress, I stress, I stress every
day on this show that youshould be calling your Congress
people all the time.
They should know who you are,they should know exactly who you
are.
They should roll their eyeswhen you're on the phone.
We're just going to kind of gothrough these videos.
(07:21):
Congress is giving themselves apay raise.
Okay, Is that a horrible thing?
No, but they're sneaking it inand that's kind of what they do.
So they'll say that, oh, thisis just a bill for whatever it
is.
You know, I'll just use likethis is a bill for Medicare, but
then in the Medicare bill,congress gets a pay raise, or
(07:45):
the president gets a pay raise,or they get their health
benefits, and it's like what?
Like, what does that have to dowith a Medicare bill?
So they jam all these things inthere and hide it to make sure
that these things pass, andthat's why we have these laws
that are so out of controlcontrol.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Why should we give them more?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
money.
What about the media?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
think about that for a second, and we're not paid by
public money I know you're not,but I mean half of your
listeners are not there anymore.
You're still getting the samepaycheck.
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
why should we give them?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
oh, that's funny.
That's senator uh, dick durbin.
So congress has not gotten apay raise since 2009.
That's, that's a very long time.
Um, he just destroys this guyasking him why should congress
get a pay raise?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
let's listen to that again why should we give them
more money?
What about the media?
Think about that for a second.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And we're not paid by public money I know you're not,
but I mean half of yourlisteners are not there anymore.
You're still getting the samepaycheck.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
oh, that's so funny because it's cnn and it's so
funny um, because it's true.
Given um, given congress.
A raise is always controversial.
Now, congress does make goodmoney.
They make good money, they havegreat benefits and they do
(09:11):
pretty well for themselves.
Okay, so let's just look up thecongressional salary.
USA USA $174,000 a year.
(09:34):
That's pretty fricking goodmoney, considering all you do is
a whole lot of nothing, andplus, once you're a
congressperson or a Senator orany really politician, you get a
huge following on social mediawhich you can create revenue
from.
You get paid to go on Fox newsor CNN or all of these other
(09:58):
shows, but you know, it'sinteresting, to say the least.
So here's Ryan Forner.
Congress has a 13% approvalrating and they're asking for a
$70,000 raise?
Absolutely not.
So they're not asking.
Just so we're all clear.
(10:23):
Congress is not saying, hey, we,we would like a raise.
They're giving it to themselvesand, uh, they're snuck it in a
bill.
Um, and didn't want you to knowabout it.
Here's somebody else dearmembers of congress, you've done
a shitty job and deserve, anddon't deserve, a pay raise.
If not for x, congress wouldhave gotten away with the
ridiculous spending bill.
Business as usual is over.
Yeah, so we're seeing not onlyare we seeing a um shift in the
(10:49):
things that are no longer ableto be hidden, um, like so back
in the day, like the news isn'tgoing to post this, nobody's
going to.
You know, they're not going totalk about this on the news
because the news has no ideathat it's even there.
So now that it's being outed onX and everybody can see it,
(11:10):
they're in a lot of trouble,because now we have free speech
back and this is a.
This is a a very, very goodthings.
Let's hear what this guy has tosay.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I need somebody anybody to get this video to
every single Republican inoffice right now.
If you vote yes on that CR bill, your ass is grass.
Oh yeah, we will vote you outthe next election.
Play with us if you want to Tryus.
Play with us.
Play with us if you want to.
I triple double dare you toplay with us.
(11:40):
Play with us if you want to.
I triple double dare you toplay with us if you want to.
You better vote no.
You better vote no you heardhim.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I mean there's, they're really not.
Uh, there won't be.
There's not going to be likemajor backlash if they pass this
.
You know, 70 grand a year is aton of money for a raise, I mean
.
So they're going to be making$240,000 a year.
They're getting a raise from$174,000 to $243,000, while
(12:19):
Americans are struggling to buyfood for our families, which is
why they voted in Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has come out andsaid not to pass the bill.
He does not want the bill, hewants it dead, which I think is
a good thing.
(12:40):
Congress last passed a realbudget in 1997.
Since then, congress hastypically relied on continuing
resolution or omnibus spendingbills to fund the government,
rather than completing the fullbudget process as intended by
the 1974 Congressional BudgetAct.
Shut it down.
I think they should shut itdown and I think they should get
shut down a lot more than theythey.
(13:04):
You have to pass a budget andhe's right, they haven't passed
the budget since the 90s like areal budget.
Uh, they just, you know, peppercrap and and find loopholes and
move things around and, um,meanwhile, the united states is
going bankrupt.
Know, we elect them to do a joband they're not doing it.
They have not been doing it.
(13:25):
Here is former Congressman MattGaetz.
He put this out on X and itsaid someone suggested the
following plan to me Show upJanuary 3rd 2025 to Congress,
participate in speaker electionI was elected to the 119th
Congress after all Take the oath, file a privileged motion to
(13:46):
expose every Me Too settlementpaid using public funds, even
for former members.
Resign and start my at OANNprogram 9 pm Eastern Standard
Time, tuesday at 6,.
January 6th at 2025.
That's awesome.
Yeah, so that's Matt Gates justlooking for clicks there.
(14:07):
But people are not happy.
People are not happy about this.
The United States, the Americanpeople, demanded change.
That's what they wanted.
They wanted change.
They wanted something differentthan what it is, and this is
not a good start, even thoughthe transition has not
(14:30):
completely happened yet.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Merry Christmas, american taxpayer.
We're going to buy you aCorvette Now.
You can't pay for it for 100years, but we're going to buy
you a Corvette.
It's absolutely ridiculous ofwhat we're doing here.
We should get a clean CR.
Mike Johnson promised that.
The two things that we reallyneed, though, is we need help
for American farmer, because thefarm bill has been kicked down
the road for two years.
Maria, we're going to lose50,000 farms in the next
(14:54):
probably six months, 50,000 more, and we lost 150,000 in the
last three or four years.
And then, of course, thedisaster aid for North Carolina.
The Biden administrationabsolutely has dropped a ball on
this, but to go out and buildstadiums in DC hell, they can't
even cut the grass in themedians up here.
It's a disaster.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, here is a.
I'm going to try to zoom in onthis.
Here's a piece of the bill.
Can't really zoom in.
(15:40):
Let's see what this says here.
Yeah, it's just talking aboutthe budget.
It's the same stuff that we'retalking about, but the
government shutdown.
It has happened before.
(16:00):
It is a dumpster fire and it'sthe American politics.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
It's a total dumpster fire.
I think it's garbage.
This is what Washington DC hasdone.
This is why I ran for Congressto try to stop this, and sadly,
this is happening again.
I think that it's shameful thatpeople that celebrate Doge
coming in I can't and yet we'regoing to vote for another
billion dollars to be added tothe deficit, and so it's ironic.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
What does this mean for Speaker Johnson's future?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Personally, I'm disappointed.
I think that he can do better.
Um, he can communicate better.
The fact that we haven't seenthe language today and we're
supposed to vote on it this weekis is unacceptable so here's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I'm going to explain something to you.
If you were getting a raise for74 000 a year on top of what
you're making now, would you bemad at your boss for trying to
do it?
The answer is absolutely not.
No, no, and they're going tocome out.
(17:14):
They're going to act likethey're so mad or some of them
are Other ones are going tostand up and say no, I think
that we deserve a raise.
Blah, blah, blah.
Cost of living has gone throughthe roof.
Uh, since 2009.
I have, you know, buying a.
A steak at the store wasn't 30,it was like 10, but you know
(17:36):
it's.
The bill is massive.
That's what they do, they, they.
They get these bills and thenthey convince everybody to sign
them.
And the other thing you have tobe cautious of is that the
reason there could be a $74,000raise in there is because
there's other things in therethat if they are found out by
(18:01):
Congresspeople, they will notvote for it.
But then it's like oh well,we're going to pass this.
We're going to give you know,I'm just making this up $1
trillion to Ukraine, but you'regoing to get a $74,000 raise.
So that's something that youneed to look at too.
(18:23):
Are they being bribed forsomething?
So I have not read the bill.
I will, and we'll go over it.
It's 1,500 pages, but it's likelegal form, so it's two inches
wide and down.
It's like legal form, so it'stwo inches wide and down.
It's incredibly ridiculous, butthis is breaking news.
(18:46):
Elon Musk agrees that thereshould be a law that all bills
introduced at Congress should bedigitally acceptable to the
public at least six, seven daysbefore any vote in Congress.
Yes, yes, yes.
Congress deserves a pay cut.
Yeah, that's pretty funny.
So here is Marjorie TaylorGreene.
(19:10):
Let's see what she has to say.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Well it's really turning into it's not a CR,
which is a continuation of thebudget, it's turning into an
omnibus is what it sounds liketo me where they're packing in
everybody's, packing in whatthey want here and there and
using the pressure and thesituation of the government
shutdown.
Of course, tragically, farmersare being dangled, americans
(19:36):
that suffered through naturaldisasters they're being dangled
with disaster relief, and Ithink that's incredibly unfair.
And you know, think about itlike this If this is going to
turn into a three-month omnibus,basically think about it like
this if this is going to turninto a three-month omnibus,
basically, um, then why aren'twe doing the heavy lifting on,
uh, you know, the upcoming debtceiling, uh, situations that we
(19:57):
have to deal with in march,government funding, um, but no,
and we don't have any bill text.
I have no idea what's in the cr, except just basic things that
we were told in there, um, andthen reading often you guys's ex
accounts, because somehow y'allmagically know things,
oftentimes more quicker than Ido uh, but, but reality is, uh,
(20:18):
there is no cr text out yet.
We don't know what's in it.
And, um, I, here we are.
What is today, tuesday?
Yeah, okay, so that's it.
What is the mood?
Mood?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, well, it's out now.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
It's out now At the time of this filming it was not
out, but it is out now.
I mean, obviously you have beencritical of Speaker Johnson in
the past, but you seem to have,you know, given him a little bit
of grace here, since somebodyelse was running against him.
What are your sort of thoughtson how he's handling the
situation?
Well, I haven't been in any ofthe conversations on building
(20:59):
the CR out, so I haven't beeninvolved in that process.
So I can't criticize not beingin the room.
I mean that's fair.
But here we are today.
On Tuesday we haven't seen anybill text we're supposed to fly
out on thursday.
We've had a long time to dealwith it.
So it's the same uh, basicallysame pattern of behavior.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
And here we are now yep well it's business as usual,
uh, buried deep within the cr.
Congress is allowed to blocksubpoena for house data.
This includes emails, whichmeans this could prevent
(21:37):
investigations into the January6th committee.
Absolutely not Make this goviral on X.
All right, so this is notcommunity.
Noted Motions to quash ormodify.
Upon a motion made promptly bya house office or provider for
an office, a court competentjurisdiction shall quash or
(21:58):
modify any legal processdirected to the provider, a
house or office.
If compliance with the legalprocess would require the
disclosure of house data of thehouse office, okay, that's a
problem.
So what are they trying to hide?
Why are they mashing this?
They're trying to hidesomething.
It sounds like if they passthis bill, then they can't have
(22:21):
the debt, which is just okay.
First of all, congress, likeevery single thing you do is
available to the public, that'sexactly exactly what you are
there for.
You work for us, you work forthe taxpayers, you work for the
American citizens.
If I would like to look at youremails, I should be able to
(22:42):
look at them at any moment intime, because you work for me.
You are an elected official.
It's for your work email.
I'm not talking about yourprivate phone or your personal
email, but if you're using yourCongress email and you're doing
something nefarious like yes,you should be subjected to that.
(23:03):
If they have the January 6thcommittee if anybody on that
committee everything that youare doing and talking about
should be made public, all of it, all of it.
And it's insane to believe thatyou should not be held
accountable and that all of yourdata and all your information
that you found is just wild,wild.
(23:26):
Let's see, wild wild.
Let's see.
This is somebody.
Speaker johnson just said thiscongress held the biden
administration accountable.
Are you kidding me?
Johnson funded everything bidenwanted, while doing nothing to
stop millions of illegals frominvading the us.
(23:48):
Let let's hear what SpeakerMike Johnson had to say.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
And despite all the challenges we had, we were able
to secure key wins in thisCongress.
You heard Blake and Steverecount some of that, beginning
with HR 1, the energy policythat we advanced, and HR 2 on
the border.
We held this disastrousadministration accountable.
We impeached Secretary Mayorkas.
We held Merrick Garland incontempt of court.
We fought to secure the border.
We passed, as I noted, HR 2, thestrongest border security
(24:16):
legislation in history, andlegislation to stop taxpayer
funds from going to sanctuarycities and to deport illegals
who've been arrested forcommitting crimes like violence
against women and DUIs andsocial security fraud and
fleeing law enforcement.
We did that.
We advanced that legislation.
We exposed Democrat support fornon-citizen voting and we
passed legislation that wouldensure that only Americans vote
(24:39):
in American elections.
I think the attention that waspaid to that had a big deterring
effect in the election cycle.
I think we put people on notice.
That's a violation of the lawand a serious offense and we
have to get that legislationcodified in the year ahead.
We launched a housewideinvestigation into anti-Semitism
on college campuses to protectour Jewish students and hold
administrators who sympathizewith pro-terrorist students
(25:02):
accountable.
We passed legislation tocounter our adversaries.
Since the Biden administrationrefused to.
We passed a CR to overturn theBiden-Harris administration's
radical rewrite of Title IX thatallows men to compete in
women's sports.
We cut funding for military DEIprograms and eliminated the DEI
office within Congress.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
So I mean, that's not what he's saying this person is
.
I don't know what the hellthey're talking about.
He's just saying they had somewins right, like they did the
best they could, that theydidn't roll over and just take
it and whatever.
Here's Ron DeSantis.
He is weighing in on it.
(25:45):
Congress is attempting todeflect criticism of the
grotesque CR by hiding behinddisaster relief funding, a small
fraction of this massivespending bill.
This is an insult to Americans'intelligence.
Since 2022, florida hasinvested over $3.4 billion in
Florida's Emergency Preparednessand Response Fund and raised
(26:06):
nearly $100 million intoFlorida's disaster fund, which
is used for disasters thataffect our state.
Over the same time frame, whileFlorida was weathered several
catastrophic hurricanes, westill paid down $3.6 billion in
tax-supported debt.
Florida proves that fiscalsanity is a choice.
(26:27):
With this CR, congress haschosen the opposite path to
continue wasting our tax dollars, exacerbating inflation and
driving our nation deeper intodebt.
They shouldn't hide behinddisaster relief.
They're willingly making thesepoor choices.
Yes, they are.
This is what they do, and Iwill tell you that it's
Republicans too.
Listen, hold on.
(26:50):
The entire system is corrupt.
The, the P, democrats orRepublicans, I don't give a crap
If we had 100% Republicangovernors, republican state
senators, republican um stateall state legislators,
republican mayors.
If every single politician inthis country was a Republican,
(27:12):
it would still be screwed.
It would still be screwed.
The problem is not who theparty is in power.
The problem is that the powerthat they wield once they get
there and those that have thatpower are not going to give it
up, they're not going to turnover deny themselves $75,000 a
year raise.
(27:33):
Why, for principle, get thehell out of here, dude.
That is not going to happen.
I mean, if there's enoughpolitical pressure, it will.
But a $75,000 a year raise,that's almost doubling the money
that they're making now, almostdoubling the money that they're
making now.
Almost doubling the money thatthey're making now.
(27:55):
We need to pressure our Congresspeople to shrink the size of
government, to shrink the powerof the presidency, to shrink the
power of the FBI, the DOJ.
They should be cut.
Half of them should be gone.
Half of them should just goaway and never come back.
(28:20):
The only legal law enforcementofficer is a sheriff, the one
elected by the people.
He has deputies that heappoints.
Right, which is your localsheriff, police officer, but all
of these other things areillegitimate.
They're not constitutional Lawenforcement agencies are
designed to be elected by people.
So if you don't like whatthey're doing, you can unelect
(28:40):
them.
That's the way that it'sdesigned.
That's the way that it'sdesigned.
That's the way that it'sdesigned.
So call your congressperson,shoot them an email.
(29:01):
If you look up who yourcongressperson is, you can
contact them and say hey, listen, I heard about the CR bill.
I'm politely requesting thatyou vote no on this.
I mean, do it and send them anemail.
They will email you back.
They will do anything for you.
I promise you that I had asituation where I had to get my
congressperson involved insomething and they squashed it
(29:21):
like immediately.
It was awesome.
So let's make sure that we getthis bill declined.
No, we're not going to toleratethis.
We're in a new era of politics.
We're shrinking the size of thefederal government.
This is partially why Trump isdoing the Doge thing so that
(29:43):
they can call these things outand hold them accountable.
Even if they don't get them tostop, you at least have the
transparency to see what they'redoing.
If it wasn't for Elon Musk andknown this Elon Musk and X in
the free speech you wouldn'tknow any of this.
(30:05):
It would just pass and youwouldn't know, you'd have no
clue.

media.

politics.

Here is your host, ryan Samuels.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Hello Patriots, welcome to the show.
We have a good show here today.
We're going to follow up onNatalie Rupnow.
We have some new information onthat killer in madison,
wisconsin, with the school um,uh, shooting there.
Um also, congress is in chaos,threats of a government shutdown
(01:17):
and drones turned out to be amassive popcorn fart over new
jersey.
Apparently, these are ourdrones.
This is something that I hadalluded to.
I'll take to be a massivepopcorn fart over New Jersey.
Apparently, these are ourdrones.
This is something that I hadalluded to.
I'll take partial credit for it.
I didn't really say.
I said it's probably either anenemy that they know about or
(01:39):
they're our drones and they didnot seem very concerned at all.
The government with thesituation, very concerned at all
the government with thesituation.
Turns out it's a local AirForce base testing out some new
equipment who already put out arequest for the FAA and got
approval, which is all publicknowledge which anybody could
(01:59):
have found.
So a lot of poor journalism inthe government if it wasn't some
top secret operation.
They just couldn't come out.
They just didn't come out andsay like hey, uh, we're, uh,
yeah, we're doing that, like thegovernment didn't even know
they were acting like.
It was like this, this bigsecret, and it wasn't, because
(02:20):
all the information waspublished, you know, months ago.
So that turned out to benothing, burger, um, and that's
okay.
That's why we look for things,okay, um, and that's why we seek
the truth.
Now there are a little bit ofconspiracy theories saying, oh,
they backdated these reports,these, these requests for
flights have been out for months.
Like you, you can't just gopublish things from months ago
(02:48):
and then redo it.
So, natalie Rupnow it turns outshe was living in what they call
a tumultuous situation.
Her parents have been divorcedand back together and then
divorced and divorced and backtogether, apparently very, uh,
not a very good relationship.
(03:09):
The nuclear family is extremelyimportant to a child.
Um, that's something that Ibelieve firmly.
I believe that, um, if you'regoing to have a child, you need
to, it needs to be planned andyou need to be with the person
that it's going to be withforever, and not just
recklessness, um, which we see alot in our youth today.
(03:34):
But congress is going throughit right now.
They're trying to pass thisbudget bill which is just full
of just pork right now.
If you don't know what pork ina bill is.
It's just a whole lot ofnonsense, things that have
nothing to do with the actualbill.
The Americans are calling forCongress just to shut the
(03:57):
government down.
We don't care.
That's kind of what's going on.
We're going to cover that andwe'll be right back.

So the calls for the governmentshutdown are out there.
They are being led by VivekRamaswani, who's part of the new
Department of GovernmentEfficiency, which isn't an
actual department of the federalgovernment.
(05:21):
It's just a clever name thatElon.
Elon came up with that uhrelates to the dogecoin that he
loved so much, but they'retasked with finding just
wasteful spending in thegovernment and getting rid of it
.
And this is the.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
The budget bill came out and they're both looking at
it, and here is what vivekramaswani had to say this is
about to pass a bill that blowsaway your taxpayer money, but
they made it over 1500 pageslong so you wouldn't read it.
I did you a favor.
I read it for you.
It's supposed to be aboutkeeping government operations
open and providing disasterrelief aid to hurricane victims,
which I'm sympathetic to.
(05:56):
But if you read the billcarefully, it contains pay
raises for members of Congressand I'm not making this up an
expansion of their federalhealth benefits.
It contains all kinds ofspecial interests and pork
funding, including opening up anew stadium in Washington DC.
It renews the Global EngagementCenter, which the government.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We see this all the time in local cities where the
city will pay for, like YankeeStadium to be built or the
Jacksonville Jaguar Stadium.
No, like your taxpayer dollarsshould not.
If your government has enoughmoney to build stadiums with
your money, then they need tocharge you less money, not
figure out how to spend it more.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Which is a key node of the censorship industrial
complex, and the worst part isthey didn't want you to know
about any of it and that's whythey made this a last minute jam
job.
The reason I'm co-heading Dogeis I think we need outsiders to
bring actual accountability toWashington DC, so feel free to
call your congressman and lethim know how you feel about it.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Call your congressperson.
This is, this is something Istress, I stress, I stress every
day on this show that youshould be calling your Congress
people all the time.
They should know who you are,they should know exactly who you
are.
They should roll their eyeswhen you're on the phone.
We're just going to kind of gothrough these videos.
(07:21):
Congress is giving themselves apay raise.
Okay, Is that a horrible thing?
No, but they're sneaking it inand that's kind of what they do.
So they'll say that, oh, thisis just a bill for whatever it
is.
You know, I'll just use likethis is a bill for Medicare, but
then in the Medicare bill,congress gets a pay raise, or
(07:45):
the president gets a pay raise,or they get their health
benefits, and it's like what?
Like, what does that have to dowith a Medicare bill?
So they jam all these things inthere and hide it to make sure
that these things pass, andthat's why we have these laws
that are so out of controlcontrol.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Why should we give them more?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
money.
What about the media?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
think about that for a second, and we're not paid by
public money I know you're not,but I mean half of your
listeners are not there anymore.
You're still getting the samepaycheck.
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
why should we give them?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
oh, that's funny.
That's senator uh, dick durbin.
So congress has not gotten apay raise since 2009.
That's, that's a very long time.
Um, he just destroys this guyasking him why should congress
get a pay raise?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
let's listen to that again why should we give them
more money?
What about the media?
Think about that for a second.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And we're not paid by public money I know you're not,
but I mean half of yourlisteners are not there anymore.
You're still getting the samepaycheck.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
oh, that's so funny because it's cnn and it's so
funny um, because it's true.
Given um, given congress.
A raise is always controversial.
Now, congress does make goodmoney.
They make good money, they havegreat benefits and they do
(09:11):
pretty well for themselves.
Okay, so let's just look up thecongressional salary.
USA USA $174,000 a year.
(09:34):
That's pretty fricking goodmoney, considering all you do is
a whole lot of nothing, andplus, once you're a
congressperson or a Senator orany really politician, you get a
huge following on social mediawhich you can create revenue
from.
You get paid to go on Fox newsor CNN or all of these other
(09:58):
shows, but you know, it'sinteresting, to say the least.
So here's Ryan Forner.
Congress has a 13% approvalrating and they're asking for a
$70,000 raise?
Absolutely not.
So they're not asking.
Just so we're all clear.
(10:23):
Congress is not saying, hey, we,we would like a raise.
They're giving it to themselvesand, uh, they're snuck it in a
bill.
Um, and didn't want you to knowabout it.
Here's somebody else dearmembers of congress, you've done
a shitty job and deserve, anddon't deserve, a pay raise.
If not for x, congress wouldhave gotten away with the
ridiculous spending bill.
Business as usual is over.
Yeah, so we're seeing not onlyare we seeing a um shift in the
(10:49):
things that are no longer ableto be hidden, um, like so back
in the day, like the news isn'tgoing to post this, nobody's
going to.
You know, they're not going totalk about this on the news
because the news has no ideathat it's even there.
So now that it's being outed onX and everybody can see it,
(11:10):
they're in a lot of trouble,because now we have free speech
back and this is a.
This is a a very, very goodthings.
Let's hear what this guy has tosay.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I need somebody anybody to get this video to
every single Republican inoffice right now.
If you vote yes on that CR bill, your ass is grass.
Oh yeah, we will vote you outthe next election.
Play with us if you want to Tryus.
Play with us.
Play with us if you want to.
I triple double dare you toplay with us.
(11:40):
Play with us if you want to.
I triple double dare you toplay with us if you want to.
You better vote no.
You better vote no you heardhim.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I mean there's, they're really not.
Uh, there won't be.
There's not going to be likemajor backlash if they pass this
.
You know, 70 grand a year is aton of money for a raise, I mean
.
So they're going to be making$240,000 a year.
They're getting a raise from$174,000 to $243,000, while
(12:19):
Americans are struggling to buyfood for our families, which is
why they voted in Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has come out andsaid not to pass the bill.
He does not want the bill, hewants it dead, which I think is
a good thing.
(12:40):
Congress last passed a realbudget in 1997.
Since then, congress hastypically relied on continuing
resolution or omnibus spendingbills to fund the government,
rather than completing the fullbudget process as intended by
the 1974 Congressional BudgetAct.
Shut it down.
I think they should shut itdown and I think they should get
shut down a lot more than theythey.
(13:04):
You have to pass a budget andhe's right, they haven't passed
the budget since the 90s like areal budget.
Uh, they just, you know, peppercrap and and find loopholes and
move things around and, um,meanwhile, the united states is
going bankrupt.
Know, we elect them to do a joband they're not doing it.
They have not been doing it.
(13:25):
Here is former Congressman MattGaetz.
He put this out on X and itsaid someone suggested the
following plan to me Show upJanuary 3rd 2025 to Congress,
participate in speaker electionI was elected to the 119th
Congress after all Take the oath, file a privileged motion to
(13:46):
expose every Me Too settlementpaid using public funds, even
for former members.
Resign and start my at OANNprogram 9 pm Eastern Standard
Time, tuesday at 6,.
January 6th at 2025.
That's awesome.
Yeah, so that's Matt Gates justlooking for clicks there.
(14:07):
But people are not happy.
People are not happy about this.
The United States, the Americanpeople, demanded change.
That's what they wanted.
They wanted change.
They wanted something differentthan what it is, and this is
not a good start, even thoughthe transition has not
(14:30):
completely happened yet.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Merry Christmas, american taxpayer.
We're going to buy you aCorvette Now.
You can't pay for it for 100years, but we're going to buy
you a Corvette.
It's absolutely ridiculous ofwhat we're doing here.
We should get a clean CR.
Mike Johnson promised that.
The two things that we reallyneed, though, is we need help
for American farmer, because thefarm bill has been kicked down
the road for two years.
Maria, we're going to lose50,000 farms in the next
(14:54):
probably six months, 50,000 more, and we lost 150,000 in the
last three or four years.
And then, of course, thedisaster aid for North Carolina.
The Biden administrationabsolutely has dropped a ball on
this, but to go out and buildstadiums in DC hell, they can't
even cut the grass in themedians up here.
It's a disaster.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, here is a.
I'm going to try to zoom in onthis.
Here's a piece of the bill.
Can't really zoom in.
(15:40):
Let's see what this says here.
Yeah, it's just talking aboutthe budget.
It's the same stuff that we'retalking about, but the
government shutdown.
It has happened before.
(16:00):
It is a dumpster fire and it'sthe American politics.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
It's a total dumpster fire.
I think it's garbage.
This is what Washington DC hasdone.
This is why I ran for Congressto try to stop this, and sadly,
this is happening again.
I think that it's shameful thatpeople that celebrate Doge
coming in I can't and yet we'regoing to vote for another
billion dollars to be added tothe deficit, and so it's ironic.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
What does this mean for Speaker Johnson's future?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Personally, I'm disappointed.
I think that he can do better.
Um, he can communicate better.
The fact that we haven't seenthe language today and we're
supposed to vote on it this weekis is unacceptable so here's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I'm going to explain something to you.
If you were getting a raise for74 000 a year on top of what
you're making now, would you bemad at your boss for trying to
do it?
The answer is absolutely not.
No, no, and they're going tocome out.
(17:14):
They're going to act likethey're so mad or some of them
are Other ones are going tostand up and say no, I think
that we deserve a raise.
Blah, blah, blah.
Cost of living has gone throughthe roof.
Uh, since 2009.
I have, you know, buying a.
A steak at the store wasn't 30,it was like 10, but you know
(17:36):
it's.
The bill is massive.
That's what they do, they, they.
They get these bills and thenthey convince everybody to sign
them.
And the other thing you have tobe cautious of is that the
reason there could be a $74,000raise in there is because
there's other things in therethat if they are found out by
(18:01):
Congresspeople, they will notvote for it.
But then it's like oh well,we're going to pass this.
We're going to give you know,I'm just making this up $1
trillion to Ukraine, but you'regoing to get a $74,000 raise.
So that's something that youneed to look at too.
(18:23):
Are they being bribed forsomething?
So I have not read the bill.
I will, and we'll go over it.
It's 1,500 pages, but it's likelegal form, so it's two inches
wide and down.
It's like legal form, so it'stwo inches wide and down.
It's incredibly ridiculous, butthis is breaking news.
(18:46):
Elon Musk agrees that thereshould be a law that all bills
introduced at Congress should bedigitally acceptable to the
public at least six, seven daysbefore any vote in Congress.
Yes, yes, yes.
Congress deserves a pay cut.
Yeah, that's pretty funny.
So here is Marjorie TaylorGreene.
(19:10):
Let's see what she has to say.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Well it's really turning into it's not a CR,
which is a continuation of thebudget, it's turning into an
omnibus is what it sounds liketo me where they're packing in
everybody's, packing in whatthey want here and there and
using the pressure and thesituation of the government
shutdown.
Of course, tragically, farmersare being dangled, americans
(19:36):
that suffered through naturaldisasters they're being dangled
with disaster relief, and Ithink that's incredibly unfair.
And you know, think about itlike this If this is going to
turn into a three-month omnibus,basically think about it like
this if this is going to turninto a three-month omnibus,
basically, um, then why aren'twe doing the heavy lifting on,
uh, you know, the upcoming debtceiling, uh, situations that we
(19:57):
have to deal with in march,government funding, um, but no,
and we don't have any bill text.
I have no idea what's in the cr, except just basic things that
we were told in there, um, andthen reading often you guys's ex
accounts, because somehow y'allmagically know things,
oftentimes more quicker than Ido uh, but, but reality is, uh,
(20:18):
there is no cr text out yet.
We don't know what's in it.
And, um, I, here we are.
What is today, tuesday?
Yeah, okay, so that's it.
What is the mood?
Mood?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, well, it's out now.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
It's out now At the time of this filming it was not
out, but it is out now.
I mean, obviously you have beencritical of Speaker Johnson in
the past, but you seem to have,you know, given him a little bit
of grace here, since somebodyelse was running against him.
What are your sort of thoughtson how he's handling the
situation?
Well, I haven't been in any ofthe conversations on building
(20:59):
the CR out, so I haven't beeninvolved in that process.
So I can't criticize not beingin the room.
I mean that's fair.
But here we are today.
On Tuesday we haven't seen anybill text we're supposed to fly
out on thursday.
We've had a long time to dealwith it.
So it's the same uh, basicallysame pattern of behavior.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
And here we are now yep well it's business as usual,
uh, buried deep within the cr.
Congress is allowed to blocksubpoena for house data.
This includes emails, whichmeans this could prevent
(21:37):
investigations into the January6th committee.
Absolutely not Make this goviral on X.
All right, so this is notcommunity.
Noted Motions to quash ormodify.
Upon a motion made promptly bya house office or provider for
an office, a court competentjurisdiction shall quash or
(21:58):
modify any legal processdirected to the provider, a
house or office.
If compliance with the legalprocess would require the
disclosure of house data of thehouse office, okay, that's a
problem.
So what are they trying to hide?
Why are they mashing this?
They're trying to hidesomething.
It sounds like if they passthis bill, then they can't have
(22:21):
the debt, which is just okay.
First of all, congress, likeevery single thing you do is
available to the public, that'sexactly exactly what you are
there for.
You work for us, you work forthe taxpayers, you work for the
American citizens.
If I would like to look at youremails, I should be able to
(22:42):
look at them at any moment intime, because you work for me.
You are an elected official.
It's for your work email.
I'm not talking about yourprivate phone or your personal
email, but if you're using yourCongress email and you're doing
something nefarious like yes,you should be subjected to that.
(23:03):
If they have the January 6thcommittee if anybody on that
committee everything that youare doing and talking about
should be made public, all of it, all of it.
And it's insane to believe thatyou should not be held
accountable and that all of yourdata and all your information
that you found is just wild,wild.
(23:26):
Let's see, wild wild.
Let's see.
This is somebody.
Speaker johnson just said thiscongress held the biden
administration accountable.
Are you kidding me?
Johnson funded everything bidenwanted, while doing nothing to
stop millions of illegals frominvading the us.
(23:48):
Let let's hear what SpeakerMike Johnson had to say.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
And despite all the challenges we had, we were able
to secure key wins in thisCongress.
You heard Blake and Steverecount some of that, beginning
with HR 1, the energy policythat we advanced, and HR 2 on
the border.
We held this disastrousadministration accountable.
We impeached Secretary Mayorkas.
We held Merrick Garland incontempt of court.
We fought to secure the border.
We passed, as I noted, HR 2, thestrongest border security
(24:16):
legislation in history, andlegislation to stop taxpayer
funds from going to sanctuarycities and to deport illegals
who've been arrested forcommitting crimes like violence
against women and DUIs andsocial security fraud and
fleeing law enforcement.
We did that.
We advanced that legislation.
We exposed Democrat support fornon-citizen voting and we
passed legislation that wouldensure that only Americans vote
(24:39):
in American elections.
I think the attention that waspaid to that had a big deterring
effect in the election cycle.
I think we put people on notice.
That's a violation of the lawand a serious offense and we
have to get that legislationcodified in the year ahead.
We launched a housewideinvestigation into anti-Semitism
on college campuses to protectour Jewish students and hold
administrators who sympathizewith pro-terrorist students
(25:02):
accountable.
We passed legislation tocounter our adversaries.
Since the Biden administrationrefused to.
We passed a CR to overturn theBiden-Harris administration's
radical rewrite of Title IX thatallows men to compete in
women's sports.
We cut funding for military DEIprograms and eliminated the DEI
office within Congress.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
So I mean, that's not what he's saying this person is
.
I don't know what the hellthey're talking about.
He's just saying they had somewins right, like they did the
best they could, that theydidn't roll over and just take
it and whatever.
Here's Ron DeSantis.
He is weighing in on it.
(25:45):
Congress is attempting todeflect criticism of the
grotesque CR by hiding behinddisaster relief funding, a small
fraction of this massivespending bill.
This is an insult to Americans'intelligence.
Since 2022, florida hasinvested over $3.4 billion in
Florida's Emergency Preparednessand Response Fund and raised
(26:06):
nearly $100 million intoFlorida's disaster fund, which
is used for disasters thataffect our state.
Over the same time frame, whileFlorida was weathered several
catastrophic hurricanes, westill paid down $3.6 billion in
tax-supported debt.
Florida proves that fiscalsanity is a choice.
(26:27):
With this CR, congress haschosen the opposite path to
continue wasting our tax dollars, exacerbating inflation and
driving our nation deeper intodebt.
They shouldn't hide behinddisaster relief.
They're willingly making thesepoor choices.
Yes, they are.
This is what they do, and Iwill tell you that it's
Republicans too.
Listen, hold on.
(26:50):
The entire system is corrupt.
The, the P, democrats orRepublicans, I don't give a crap
If we had 100% Republicangovernors, republican state
senators, republican um stateall state legislators,
republican mayors.
If every single politician inthis country was a Republican,
(27:12):
it would still be screwed.
It would still be screwed.
The problem is not who theparty is in power.
The problem is that the powerthat they wield once they get
there and those that have thatpower are not going to give it
up, they're not going to turnover deny themselves $75,000 a
year raise.
(27:33):
Why, for principle, get thehell out of here, dude.
That is not going to happen.
I mean, if there's enoughpolitical pressure, it will.
But a $75,000 a year raise,that's almost doubling the money
that they're making now, almostdoubling the money that they're
making now.
Almost doubling the money thatthey're making now.
(27:55):
We need to pressure our Congresspeople to shrink the size of
government, to shrink the powerof the presidency, to shrink the
power of the FBI, the DOJ.
They should be cut.
Half of them should be gone.
