Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we have set the all time record for
government shutdowns and it's causing problems. You know, we were
talking this morning about the FAA cutting back on flights
by ten percent. It's going to impact Houston flights, both
Hobby and Bush, mainly with I'm guessing United Airlines, and
mainly to places that are not hubs that they may
(00:20):
be flying to from this hub, at least according to
the airline. So we'll see how that all works itself out.
But but why are we still dealing with this? The
election is over. Before we bring on our guests, I
want to I want to share a clip I heard
on the Joe Rogan podcast with Elon Musk speculating about
why he thinks the Democrats shut the government down, and
then we'll get doctor Cabala's reaction to it.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The reason you have the standoff is because if the
hundreds of billions of dollars to create a finationals set
up to like to have this giant magnet to attract
legals from every part of earth to these states, if
that has turned off, the illegals will because they're no
longer being paid to come to the United States and
(01:05):
stay here. Wow. And then then then they will lose
a lot of voters. The party will lose a lot
of voters.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And they would have a very difficult job if this
is kicked out of reintroducing it into a new bill.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yes, especially once things start normalizing. Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So like in a nutshell, the Democratart Party wants to
destroy democracy by importing voters, and the you know, the
Republican Party disagrees with you, and the ruses that if
you don't accept what they're doing, then you're a threat
to democracy.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yes, as they try to destroy democracy.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yes, by importing voters, go to people to only vote
for them and overwhelming the system.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And by the ways, the strategy that if allowed to work,
would work and in fact has worked California a supermajority Democrat. Yeah.
And there's so much sherrymandering that that cause it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So it's worked if allowed to work. Doctor Bokaballa joins
those political science expert Tarlington state, is that too far
out there for you? Good morning? Is that too far
out there for you? Do you think there's some legitimacy
to that?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You know, that was a great conversation and are there
real elements of truth to that? I think there are
One of the things the big beautiful Bill Donald Trump,
Donald Trump's signature accomplishments not to accomplish was make it
much much harder for fraud to occur in medicaid, whereby
people here illegally would receive benefits. So how much overall
(02:43):
of fraud and abuse is there in government? We know
it exists. And that magnet theory again, I think there's
elements of truth to that. And this is why the
government shut down this time around, the longest on record
is getting more interesting, if dangerous, by the minute.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well certainly was effective, I believe in the Virginia election,
don't you. Northern Virginia is comp comprised of you know,
when you take a look at all the people either
working for the federal government who live there, which is
the big population center, or are receiving benefits from the
federal government. If you actually believe that, you know they're
(03:22):
trying to Trump is potentially trying to take your job
away or some of your benefits away. Which way are
you going to vote?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, exactly so, unemployment or temporary unemployment in Virginia huge
impact on the race there between Spanburger and Sears. No
doubt about it. This is, you know, and it's a
separate question from should the government be shut down on principle?
It may be. I think it is right for the
(03:50):
president to stand on principle, but then you have to
be aware of what the secondary impact is from all
those unemployed folks. And I think he's got a plan.
He's calling loudly now to end the filibuster. And I
think Donald Trump, the President, understands what the risks are.
Absolutely that contributed to the Virginia outcome.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well, if you were going to end the filibuster, shouldn't
that have happened before the election? Why wait until after
the election to do that?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well, And I don't think it's even ending. To be clear,
what President Trump has called for is a sort of
it's setting a precedent. It's the nuclear option. It does
not involve a rewrite of the Senate rules. Of course,
the Senate philibuster currently exists in Senate rules, so those
rules have been rewritten before. He's not asking for that.
(04:43):
He's asking for a majority of the Senate to disagree
with the likely interpretation of what the Senate parliamentarian would
likely say, and so the rule would still remain in place,
and even if we were changing the Senate rule, you
could chang injured back with the Republican majority in the
next Congress. But I think the risk that the president
(05:05):
sees has increasingly. I mean, we saw the election result.
Even Rasmussen has more Republicans being blamed for the shutdown
than Democrats. I think the President appreciates this is a
danger zone for Republicans the longer this shutdown goes on.
And just imagine the pr we ended the Filipbuster because
(05:25):
we had to feed you, because we had to take
care of the American people. That would be a powerful
talking point.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah. Well, it'll be interesting to see if that is
indeed what happens. Doctor Kabala, thank you, sir, interesting talk.
I enjoyed it. Doctor Bocabala the local science expert at
