This, right as much as they may not want to acknowledge,
that The democrats lost in a, huge huge. Way they
gave up The republicans gave up nothing, whatsoever, which of
course nobody was supposed to give up. Anything it was
just a clean cr no additional spending allowed by The,
democrats no additional cuts allowed by The. Republicans it was
just a place old continuing resolution to fund the government

(08:03):
at its current. Levels but they made it a fight
in which there had to be winners and. Losers, well
the losers were The, democrats very, clearly and that's why
their party is. Splintering and as they, splinter some of
them Like Alexandria Ocassio, CORTES i think it's pronounced incorrectly that.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
So Senator John fetterman has had a bit of a.
Problem took a tumble, apparently and the response and the
reaction to it from the political left is well, EXPECTED i.
Guess Senator, fetterman according to a spokesperson for the, senator
said just yesterday quote during an early morning, Walk Senator
fetterman sustained a fall near his home In, braddock out

(13:13):
of an abundance of, caution he was transported to a
hospital In. Pittsburgh upon, evaluation it was established that he
had a ventricular fibrillation flare up that led To Senator
fetterman feeling, lightheaded falling to the ground and hitting his,
face and suffering minor. Injuries the spokesperson added that he
is currently doing well and receiving routine observation at the.

(13:35):
Hospital now most people of, goodwill decent people are online
wishing him well and hoping for a full return to good.
Health Liberal democrats who elected him to The senate are
not among. Them in, fact the denizens Of Blue, sky
which of course is the left Wing. Twitter when they

(13:55):
Lost twitter to free speech And Elon musk actually took
over and allowed people to interact with it with them
rather than canceling, people they all flocked to the left
Wing twitter Now Blue, sky and there they are wishing
for his untimely death in words THAT i won't read
on the, radio but just know that these people are

(14:16):
unhinged and, evil and they are suggesting That John, fetterman
The senator that they elected In pennsylvania and fought for
so hard even when he was a stroke victim and
could not. Speak they championed him over Doctor mebdaz simply
because he had been a stone cold hard left wing

(14:39):
democrat up up to that, point a strong union left wing,
democrat so they wanted him to get. In even though
he could not. Speak they got him. In and now
that he has recovered from the stroke and he no
longer has communication, problems no longer has brain processing, problems
he suffered some severe effects from, that he's becoming more
and more. Moderate and in, fact you could say from

(15:02):
some of the things that he said and has done
over the course of the forty three days shutdown that just,
ended that he's becoming more. Conservative and the left wingers
are going crazy over. It how dare He they would
prefer him with brain damage and being liberal than being
a clear headed thinker and being. Conservative John, fetterman by the,

(15:22):
way is living proof then that What Michael savage said for,
decades and a lot of people have picked up over
the last ten twenty, years liberalism is a mental. Disorder
when your brain is not functioning, properly your. Leftist when
your brain gets, clarity you become a little bit more.
Conservative John fetterman best wishes for his. Recovery all, right

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Get IT but i did not know.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
About this and now that the lawsuit is in, THE
news i am going to look this up and it's
going to give a whole lot. Of publicity i'm sure
a lot of other people like me are going to, be.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
Like oh what's? This Brand uh so this MIGHT.

Speaker 16 (18:40):
BE u i.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Don't know we'll see if it's. A. Backfire uh, Thank.
You cliff Speaking to jdvan since you brought up the.
Vice president he sat down last Night With sean hannity
and covered a wide variety, of topics including the rapid
rapid EXPANSION. Of ai artificial intelligence is going to change.
The world make no mistake. About that it has already changed.

(19:01):
THE world i think we can really truly. Acknowledge that
but there is great concern that many people have that
it is going to. Cost jobs and we're talking about
potentially millions of jobs nationwide because it's going to replace
what a lot of things that a lot of people,
you know are doing, right now and it's going to
be done a lot more efficiently and a lot more
cheaply for companies that choose to.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Use IT.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
And jd vance wants to warn people off about. Those
things don't FRET about ai because people are just going
to have to learn how TO.

Speaker 25 (19:32):
Use.

Speaker 26 (19:32):
Ai now ON the, ai, ISSUE look i understand why
people are, worried that, you know if you have a
robot doing, that job is a takeaway from a blue
collar worker who can do that job? Right now the
EVIDENCE that i see is that if we really lean
into robotics, and technology it's going to raise everybody's wages
and make everybody. Better off the EXAMPLE that i often

(19:52):
give is a. Bank teller's if you go back to
when the automated teller machine, was invented everybody said it
was going to.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Destroy the jobs of all the.

Speaker 26 (19:59):
Bank tellers what actually happened is that today you have
more people working in bank telling than you did fifty.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Years ago they're doing.

Speaker 26 (20:07):
Different jobs they're not just handing, people money they're doing,
different jobs but they they have. Higher wages so sometimes
what technology does is it allows somebody to do something
a little, bit different to use their mind a little
bit more than some of the road tasks they might have,
been doing and that actually means they're, more productive.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
They get, better wages and everybody becomes.

Speaker 26 (20:27):
Better OFF so i don't think that we're going to
ever eliminate the construction industry in this country.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Just because you've.

Speaker 26 (20:33):
Got robots what you're going to have is a lot
of construction workers who are using, those robots who are directing,
those robots who are actually able to do more with
less because they're using technology to. Help them you're always
going to need construction workers in, this ECONOMY.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
But i want their wages to, go UP and i think.

Speaker 26 (20:50):
If we lean, into technology that's what's going.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
To happen, it's strong it's a strong argument that. He
makes i'm NOT sure i. Buy IT and i like
to buy Things that jadvans. IS selling i think he's an.
EXCEPTIONAL speaker i think he's an exceptional, vice president and
happy that he's a senator or was.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
A senator i'm NOT sure i.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Buy all, of, that though people who you know people
probably said the same thing back about, manufacturing lines, you,
know factories automobile manufacturers and. So, forth well, you know
when the, robots come somebody has to run. Those, robots
yeah and. They did but the robots are running, the
shop and the robots are making all of, the parts
and the robots are screwing things that men used to
screw in and people lose jobs because of. Those things

(21:26):
i'm a little worried, about that to. Be truthful and
other THINGS that, ai does including, you. Know copywriting college
STUDENTS use ai to write their papers, For them, they
chat gpt their papers. For, them well guess what people
in the, creative fields, you know people who are already,
using computers, for example are not going to be able to,
keep up not even close with WHAT the. I mean

(21:47):
ai can produce a ten minute turn paper with six
in text citations and sourced and ready to GO in
i don't know how long does it take to print?
Thirty seconds it takes hours and hours and hours for
students to. Do, it well what's going to happen when
it comes to the work WORLD and ai can do
those things that people used, to DO so i think
there's a legitimate. Concern there interested in your, Thoughts too

(22:08):
hit us on that talk Pack that mike's always, talking
about or send me. An email, my name my email
Address is bob at strictly speaking. Dot org bob at

jimmy it is six.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Thirty eight if you just joined, the show and you know,
that shutdown, of course led to a lot of really
negative consequences for a lot, of people including these. SNAP
recipients i will not make the same mistake that many
of our elected officials have and say that there are
forty two Million hungry americans that weren't getting their benefits because.
There weren't the reality is of the forty two million

(31:18):
who were taking money and benefits for food and, you know.
Supplemental food millions of them were, illegal aliens and others
were simply not allowed to be on.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
The program what do? We know we.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Know This Agriculture Secretary brook rawlins revealed This just wednesday
THAT the snap program currently paying benefits pays them to
dead people in just the twenty nine states, that reported,
you know their demographics and their recipients and, so forth
to the. Federal government upon request By the Department, of

(31:51):
agriculture twenty nine red states reported and there are at
least five thousand individuals on who are dead who ARE receiving.
Snap Benefits and, i'm sorry but the nutrition program isn't
going to help you when you're.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
Already dead and.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Then five hundred thousand more are receiving them how.

Speaker 37 (32:10):
And twenty twenty plus others, did not and. We're suing
we're in a litigation. Right now but if the twenty nine,
that complied what we have found is staggering half a
million people getting benefits two times under the.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Same name double benefits going to some recipients who are
not even using a different name in committing fraud, that
way they're just applying FOR their snap benefits under. Their
name then they get, their benefits and then they go
ahead and, apply again and they get. Them again and
that's just in the twenty nine states that responded To
the Department of agriculture's request. For information the other twenty

(32:44):
one states that you heard are referring to there at
the Beginning are blue states that simply refuse to comply
with the request because they know they are feeding more
illegal aliens in those, blue states sanctuary states with large
sanctuary cities than we can. Even imagine probably way more
dead people receiving benefits in, those states and certainly way
more people ineligible either because of double filing like you,

(33:07):
just heard or because of.

Speaker 25 (33:12):
Their.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Work status in, other words they are, work eligible they,
are able and they are choosing not. To work they're
choosing not to get, a job and they're just living
in a lifestyle off of the largesse OF the. Us
taxpayers so those twenty one blue states will not. Even
comply two Of those blue states sued the federal government
for even asking the question about illegal aliens and people

(33:35):
who are not eligible to Be on medicaid and food
stamps OR the snap program but Are, so yeah the
whole thing is just rife with fraud and it needs
to be completely blown up. And Reimagined and i've got
an idea how that can Look and i'll talk about.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
It later, right now it's five forty five. Forty, one,

america's energy get it, back down get us back to
being exporters, of energy and continue the resurgence of the fossil,
fuel industries, including oil and get away from all of
the nonsense that we had experienced During the. Biden year
so we're going to check in. ON that a couple of,
big news big announcements were made this week From The
energy department and contracts awarded to buy a whole lot of,

(37:20):
crude oil and we're going to talk about that coming
up With car ingham in just a. Few minutes but
super quick to follow up on what we were just
discussing about the end of the shutdown and the end
of the Quote unquote. SNAP problem I said i would
come forward with a reimagining Of the, snap Program and
i'm going to deliver that. Real quick if the whole
thing has to be Blown up that doesn't mean we

(37:41):
don't give assistance to actually needy.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
People anymore it means.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
The whole thing needs to be blown up because of
all of the fraud and waste and abuse that is.
In it, RIGHT now i think they need to completely
abolish it and then start funding the states only after
the states can actually. Set up each state should have
to do the, same thing and that is set Up proof,
number one proof. Of citizenship no illegal aliens can get
stack benefits From the american. Taxpayers too proof of identity with,

(38:08):
photo identification just like you would need if you were
opening up a bank account or. Anything else if we're
talking about commerce like this and we're talking about the,
people's money you have to prove you are who you say.
You Are, number three we need to make sure that
if you do have a claim of elderly persons or
children in the home that you. Can't work that's why you,

(38:29):
can't work because you have to care. For them there
needs to be medical documentation of the same for whether
it's children or. Elderly parents and, then finally the most
important one is what are we giving? Them this that
program is giving all kinds. Of it we've seen story
after story after story of all of the luxury items
that are provided to people who are on. Food assistance

(38:50):
people on, food assistance in many cases are filling their
carts with better food than the people who are paying.
For them talking about the other taxpayers who. Are working
are you ready, for. This MREs they're good enough for.
Our military they are good enough to provide enough calories
twice a day, for everybody and it should be a

(39:10):
temporary situation. For everybody use meals ready to eat the
same thing that our troops eat and make sure that everybody. Is,
healthy remember this is supposed to be. Supplemental ASSISTANCE the
snap program is, nutrition assistance and that is.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Enough assistance you.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Don't need to be buying everybody cakes and ice cream
and lobster and, everything else especially when we are a

Alliance Of. Energy Producers car, good morning thanks for, The, Time.

Speaker 17 (42:07):
Bob good morning.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
To you how, Are, You bi, We're good thanks. Very
much i'm really GOOD when i hear stories. Like this
promises made and. Promises Cat president trump talked About restoring
america's energy independence and a. Big move some announcements were
Made on wednesday By The. Energy department what can you, Tell, us.

Speaker 17 (42:25):
Well the big announcement, THIS week i think was That
the president of, this administration announced By the Secretary, of
energy are putting barrels back Into The Strategic. Petroleum reserve
this is a store of crude oil That The united
States of america designated decades ago to keep on hand
in case of a. Supply emergency and by, SUPPLY emergency

(42:47):
i mean a supply shock of. Some sort this could
be a major, weather event this could be a major
geopolitical event that disrupted supplies of crude oil flowing Into The.
United states and by, the way we import much less
crude oil than we. Used to but this strategic patrolum
reserve was, DRAWN down i thought extremely improperly By the,

(43:11):
biden administration drew it down to historically, low levels really
for the purpose of pushing prices of gasoline and other
products down in an, election year which is twenty. Twenty
two and Now the president is adding barrels back into
that strategic, patrolum reserve buying those BARRELS from, us producers

(43:32):
and by, the way Getting that i'm a bit of
a discount now because prices are lower in twenty twenty
five than they were in twenty. Twenty.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
FOUR yeah i recall a lot of people in your
position and those who were in, the know how incredibly
irresponsible it Was For president biden to, do this simply
to try to control gas prices that had spiked only
because of their energy policies in the. First place putting
gas national average at one point in twenty, TWENTY one
i think was early twenty, twenty two it over five,

(44:02):
DOLLARS again, i think five dollars and one penny per,
gallon nationally and they had no way to bring, them
down so they just went ahead and tapped into, the
reserve putting us in quite.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
Frankly, Danger, right well that's.

Speaker 17 (44:15):
EXACTLY right, i mean you just don't want to get
caught flat footed with an event that would occur that
the strategic pratorium reserve was designed to mitigate AGAINST for.
Us consumers and you're. EXACTLY right, i mean it is
TRUE that covid made a mess. Of things it made

(44:35):
a mess of markets in virtually every sector, of society
and one of guests being one. Of them but this
was in twenty, twenty two and we did have, Price
increases We had russia Invading the ukraine early in, the
year and again one of those geopolitical events that, you
know we're trying to guard against the with the, petroleum

(44:59):
reserve and so most of us, just thought let markets
do what. They do let Prices incentivize TEXAS and us
producers to produce more and bring it to. The marketplace
that's what we do, extremely well and we do it
Better in texas. Anywhere, Else amen let markets play out
and bring production back up and leave that for drowing.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Reserve, alone yeah probably didn't help matters when he was
promising all of these. Ev mandates weren't going to be,
any more, you know gasoline powered engines and, so forth whether,
you know whether it be lawnmowers or anything else of.
That matter so the futures of course were affected by that.
As well so it was really, really irresponsible and then
that that strategic reserve, got depleted and now it is

(45:45):
time to. Refill It So president trump is taking great
steps in. That Regard, Car ingham President Of texas Alliance
Of Energy, producers kart thank you.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
SO much i. Appreciate it god. Bless Her.

Speaker 17 (45:56):

FRONT as well i don't mean to beat.

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
THIS dead horse i really Don't About the, jeffrey epstein
thing but it continues to be a Saga because the
left is grabbing onto anything and everything they can to
try to cover for their loss in. The shutdown, fight they're,
desperate they're infighting there's, a civil war so they're trying
to do something to. Score POLITICAL points, and i Know.
Let's accuse trump they did this on the Day that

(01:14:35):
the house was going To vote on wednesday to. End
the shutdown so they started the day with completely out
of context and ridiculously redacted messages from twenty thousand. Some
odd documents they chose three that Had the name trump
in them to make It look like trump was complicit,
in some way shape or Form In the jeffrey epstein.

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
You know crimes that's, what they are so they continue.
To Do THIS.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
And stephen a smith is a left, wing sports reporter,
as everybody. Knows not reporter he's A, commentator on espn
and he's really delving into politics and has been for.
Some time now he's a Regular guest on hannity and
some of. The other places he's tired. Of it himself
he is A, left wing democrat and this is what
he had To say About Democrats attacking Donald.

Speaker 5 (01:15:22):
Trump, over epstein now, ladies.

Speaker 46 (01:15:24):
And gentlemen keep in Mind that the epstein files were
in existence and free to have been Opened during.

Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
The biden administration you were in.

Speaker 18 (01:15:33):
For four years.

Speaker 5 (01:15:38):
How come you didn't open It as?

Speaker 46 (01:15:39):
A democratic party THEN.

Speaker 9 (01:15:42):
What?

Speaker 5 (01:15:42):
Am i missing. I'M not saying i know it's. A
LEGITIMATE question maybe i don't.

Speaker 46 (01:15:48):
Remember the answer maybe my extraordinary producers should be able
to help me doing. A commercial break but, from my
understanding the same files that, will opening now with the
two hundred and twenty pages of documents or, whatever it
is with various emails that could have Been done when biden,

(01:16:12):
Was in office.

Speaker 5 (01:16:13):
That could have been done.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Before the, election for sure if there was Anything Truly
implicating donald trump with anything having To Do with jeffrey epstein.

Speaker 5 (01:16:23):
In any way you don't think they would have.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
Peeled That back merrick garland would have unsealed everything as,
the attorney general and they would have rolled that out,
on a great big semi truck to every media outlet,
in the world Just To stop donald trump from even
running and having a chance to be re elected. To
the presidency but, there was nothing and that's the reason why,

(01:16:46):
They did nothing and now. They have nothing so they're
trying to go, back and saying let's. Ring that bell
now look at That the name. Trump was there somebody
said that she Saw. Him, at marlago well let somebody
happen to be the Now Deceased. WOMAN virginia guffrey i
can't remember how to pronounce, her last name but She Said.
That donald trump she was on the Record Of saying

(01:17:07):
donald trump did nothing wrong when. HE was there i
WAS there when, i saw him and he did nothing
wrong to. Or with anybody that's why they redacted her
name so that it would look like an Unnamed Person
saw donald trump there. And said what so the, Desperation
is pathetic it really. Really is lame and the fact
that you have left Wing COMMENTATORS. Like steven, a, smith, saying,

(01:17:30):
so really really lets you know what kind Of State
the democrat party is. In right now didn't mean to
beat that down, into the ground but it really does need,
to be said and he says it a little bit
more PASSIONATELY than.

Speaker 5 (01:17:39):

Traffic band weather next On, The Ten okay cliff sander
has had a Story, on Jd Vance, the vice president
in that bottom of, the hour newscast Calling out the
democrats for the shutdown that absolutely did not. Have to Happen,
AND jd, vance i think is getting a lot of
rave reviews, for his performance at. Least from conservatives, he
is clearly even though we are not even into, twenty

(01:22:53):
six yet he is considered the front Runner for the
republican nomination for.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
Twenty twenty eight and he was asked About This on sean.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
HANNITY last night i swear, HE was as i have
all kinds of, tech G literacy and i don't, know
EXACTLY why but i am having a huge. Tech glitch
here and that means that's a fancy way of saying
that the video and slash audio for you will not

inopportune time i'm going to try. It Again Here, vice
president vance can you? Load? Quickly enough yeah. Here we
go he Was On, With sean, handity we're good but,
in all seriousness this.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
Is, coming fast sure sure you thinking?

Speaker 26 (01:23:41):
ABOUT it all i WOULD say that i thought about
what that moment might look like after. The, Midterm ELECTIONS
sure but I also whenever i, THINK about that i
try to put it out of my head and Remind
myself the american people elected me to do a, job
right now and my job is. To do it and
if you aren't getting distracted and focused on, WHAT comes

(01:24:02):
next i think it actually makes you worse of the job.
That you have and here's. WHAT will, happen, i mean
look we're very focused on. THE midterm elections i think
Because what the president has set in motion is a
long term economic revitalization effort. FOR this country i really
want us to win the midterms Because of the democrats, get.

Speaker 5 (01:24:19):
In power they're going to try to screw up a
lot of the.

Speaker 26 (01:24:21):
Great things the President Of the united states has done
over the. Past, ten months again trees that, have been
planted some of which won't even bear fruit for. A
few years i Don't want the democrats to. Screw that
up so we're gonna. Win the midterms we're gonna do
everything that we can to. Win the midterms and, Then
after that i'm gonna sit Down with The President of
united states and talk to. Him about it but let's focus,
on the now because we've got well over.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
A year to do as much as we Can for.

Speaker 26 (01:24:44):
The american people and my attitude, Che, on is look
if we do, a good job the politics will take.
Care of itself if we do, a terrible job the
politics will take care of itself and.

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
The Other direction so i'm just going to focus on
THE job. That i have i'll tell you, a little
secret not that. It's really.

Speaker 3 (01:24:59):
Secret before jd vance even, became known politically he was
known for his book And His Movie, H'll billy elogy
and what an extraordinary success story that was coming, from
you know family that was racked by drug addiction from
his mother and Dirt poor and appalachia, and you know
rose up, to you know end Up Becoming A, united
states marine then, going to College going to yale and.

(01:25:21):
All the rest when he was he was, known for
that but politically he. Was a nobody and when he
decided To run for senate in The state of ohio
back in. Twenty twenty two AND the first i, was
covering him he Was starting For, senate FROM ohio and i,
was covering this and he from the very first time
he stepped on, A debate stage, i SAID this and
i said it on the radio, the next day that

(01:25:44):
man is going to be running.

Speaker 5 (01:25:45):
For president someday, he has very.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Very LOFTY ambitions and i could tell by that, At
THAT point, like i said, the first debate he was
so much smoother than everybody else, on that stage Including
the Current, senator from Ohio Which. Is bernie marino And
Of course bernie Marino Just beat shard brown last year to.
Take This Office but jadie vance, was just amazing even

(01:26:09):
as a, first time candidate as a first time politician
having a debate. On A stage and i said, at
THE time and i should probably pull the audio, at
SOME point, but i said that man is running for
something much.

Speaker 5 (01:26:20):
Bigger than senate. HE has going i didn't think it would.

Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Come this fast neither Did He that donald trump would
tap him to be his vice president in, twenty twenty,
Four you know november. Of last year but here we
sit and now he is in prime position To be
the republican nominee to take The Baton from president trump
and be the standard Bearer For. The REPUBLICAN party and
i felt serious ABOUT it when. I said it i

(01:26:44):
just didn't think of what. Happened this fast, but boil
boy it's really really really playing out, just YOU know,
just aasa envision just on a. Much faster track but
he's smart to say we're focusing on the midterms because
he's also. Right about this if, the president loses Meaning
if the republicans lose the Midterms and the president cannot
Advance The full america first agenda that he ran On

(01:27:05):
and the democrats spend the last two years of his
term putting him in hearings and impeachments and impeachments and investigations,
and so forth there's a very good Chance that no
republican will win in. Twenty twenty eight so the midterms
do have, to come first Well Said By. Vice, president
vance okay it is. Six fifty Six This Is. Houston's

Year in Jail on news RADIO. Seven forty, ktrh all
right it is seven minutes. After, the hour now good
morning to, you once again thanks for being With Us
on bob france if you're just tuning. In this morning It,
is a friday the fourteenth morning of, the eleventh Month
in The Year, of our lord, twenty twenty five and the,
shutdown is over but the ramifications of it. Continue to

(01:35:54):
linger the flights. Are still delayed about one thousand more flights,
are being delayed and they're trying to ramp everything back
up and get back up. To working speed that may
take a little. Bit of time, the OTHER thing and
i want. TO revisit this i talked about. It last
hour they need to Ramp Up The supplemental, nutrition PROGRAM again,
the snap program because forty two million people we were told,

(01:36:16):
didn't get there didn't get their food and their money
for food on time in this month because because. Of
the shutdown well not that they're, back open again they're
starting to dole that, money out again but who they're.
Given it to according, to multiple reports specifically One from The,
department of agriculture they're giving it.

Speaker 5 (01:36:34):
To dead people wait WHAT they're given snap?

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
To, dead people yeah at least five thousand of them
in twenty nine states that actually reported This is The,
Secretary Of.

Speaker 5 (01:36:44):
Agriculture brooke rollins twenty.

Speaker 37 (01:36:46):
Other twenty plus, others did not. And we're suing we're
in a. Litigation right now but of the twenty nine,
that can blide what we have found is staggering half
a million people getting benefits two times under. The same
name five one, thousand dead people eighty percent of The,
able bodied americans meaning, they can work they don't have small,

(01:37:06):
children at home they're not taking care of. An elderly parent,
they can work and they choose, not to, work of
course because they're getting significant benefits. From the taxpayer, So,
this light laura that has now been shined on what
is perhaps one of, the most corrupt Dysfunctional programs, in
american history that we, are working now very big announcements
coming next.

Speaker 27 (01:37:27):
Week on this we.

Speaker 37 (01:37:28):
Are cracking down we now have a plan, to fix
it and we're really really excited about doing That for.
The american people.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
I'm so looking forward to seeing what that plan is
next week because what she just said is outrageous and
just to be again put the, context around that twenty
nine states Responded to The department of agriculture's requests slash
demand for information about the recipients in each of, the
fifty states and only. Twenty nine responded all twenty nine
of them are Believed to. Be red states and Even In,

(01:37:54):
the red states five thousand dead people getting snap benefits
from my. Paycheck in yours everybody who pays taxes, is
funding this and the money is going to accounts. Of
dead people who's actually? Taking that money and what are they?
Doing with it then five hundred thousand people receiving it
twice under, the same name you understand that that means

(01:38:17):
they're not even trying to be tricky with their Fraud
And Saying, i'm joe SMITH, give me snap and then
going later And Registering as john THOMAS. Give me snap
they're using the same name and getting it twice because.
They don't care the states that are issuing these are
not monitoring very closely to see who's eligible and.

Speaker 5 (01:38:33):
Who is not and those are.

Speaker 3 (01:38:34):
The red states can you imagine how much worse it
is in The twenty one blue states that rejected the
Request from The department of agriculture. For their Records twenty
one blue states will not show them because the number
of illegal aliens that are likely receiving these benefits is
going to be. In the millions they. Wouldn't even respond and,

(01:38:55):
two of Them That's what brooke rollins referenced at the beginning.
Of that clip two of them filed a Lawsuit against
The department of agriculture For EVEN asking the snap program
needs to be, completely shut down dismantle it and start over.

talk about them. Again seven eleven now let's do. Trafficking weather,

THIS right now I fully welcome trump voters. Into our coalitions.

Speaker 17 (01:43:54):
You, know that?

Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
VOICE of course, aoc of course was Who Was terrifying
chuck schumer during. The entire shutdown according to those now
engaged in the civil war, on the left she's going
to Run. For the senate she's Probably Gonna take. Chuck
Schumer spot chuck schumer is on, his way out but
he's on his way out of the minority leadership, position
before that and the question is who could possibly?

Speaker 5 (01:44:13):
Take his place the options.

Speaker 3 (01:44:16):
Are not great joining Us Now, Is Amanda head white
House correspondent For.

Speaker 5 (01:44:19):
Just, the news, amanda good, Morning.

Speaker 11 (01:44:23):
Good morning thanks so much for having Me.

Speaker 12 (01:44:25):
Have, this friday yeah it's.

Speaker 5 (01:44:27):
SAME to you i appreciate.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
You BEING here so i think most people who are
watching this CLOSELY realize that aoc who is, an avowed
socialist Especially after The Democrats In new york city just
went full socialist For a mom donnie feels like she
is the future of their very very. Far left party
but the immediate future doesn't Look Good for. Chuck Schumer
Either the civil war is going to cost him, his

(01:44:49):
leadership position.

Speaker 5 (01:44:50):
It would appear what, Are, The options amanda, Oh, my
gosh well.

Speaker 11 (01:44:55):
They're not great and let me JUST, say for, aoc
you know there's a lot of, TALK out there i
feel like amongst the youngest generation of both sides of conservatives,
and also liberals and they talk about. You shape politics
SO you've got aoc OUT there Saying i welcome maga. Into,
The party, okay i'm sorry what part of your platform

(01:45:18):
do you think IS.

Speaker 5 (01:45:19):
Appealing to maga is it.

Speaker 11 (01:45:20):
The abolish ice part? Of your platform is it the,
defund The Police The, Green new deal, medicare for all
the wealth tax that, she has supported abolishing, the electoral college,
federal jobs guarantee she thinks that housing is, a human right.
FREE public, college i mean there is nothing in her
platform that appeals TO. Most of maga maybe there's some

(01:45:44):
FRINGE elements of maga that subscribe to something. Along that
list but the bench is So.

Speaker 5 (01:45:51):
Short for democrats, and you know This Is.

Speaker 11 (01:45:54):
Something president trump has talked about anytime anyone asks him
about a potential contender for. Twenty twenty eight the list
goes on and. On and on but when It Comes,
to CHUCK schumer and i am hearing murmurings that he's
not going to he's not going to run.

Speaker 5 (01:46:08):
For reelection in.

Speaker 11 (01:46:09):
Twenty twenty eight and you got, To just know bob
that he's reading the tea leaves and he's seeing a
party move further and further away from everything that he
has stood for, for the last, by the way. Over
fifty years it's time.

Speaker 5 (01:46:21):
To get check.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
That's pretty wild it is. Time to go There's No
question amanda head is Our Guest, from Justin News who's. White,
house correspondent, yeah you know he's been there far too
long and the party has just gone. Far TOO left,
like i, said you know not that he was ever
anything close, to a moderate but he was. Not a
socialist he was. Not a communist and, now that particular
that particular flavor of liberalism has taken over in The.

(01:46:42):
Form of mamdani and Obviously We've had BERNIE sanders and
aoc there. For, a while no some of the names
that have been floated as a potential minority leader if
they do indeed run Him Out Are, Hawaii's Brian Shatz,
Wisconsin's tammy Baldwin minnesota Is, Amy Kloviachar In New Jersey's.
Spartacus corey booker any of those seem more likely or
less to you to be the standard bearer for the.

(01:47:05):
Minority leader, position.

Speaker 11 (01:47:08):
YOU know when i look, AT that list I Feel
like amy klobashart is kind of, the one, who you
know if This is, a goldilock scenario it's, not too
hot it's. Not too cold she's kind of right there.

Speaker 18 (01:47:18):
In the Middle She's, not chuck schumer but she is.

Speaker 11 (01:47:21):
Younger, and somewhat fresher and. She's a woman and when
it Comes To the democrat, party right now checking off boxes,
matters to people not necessarily what they believe or what they,
want to do or even their capability to do what they.
Want to do but she does check off one of those,
all important, BOXES and she i think is much more

(01:47:44):
palatable to Whatever remaining. Reasonable democrat base. They have left
most of them have left and they either don't, participate
electorally anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:47:54):
Or they have left.

Speaker 11 (01:47:55):
Because, They said look i'm looking in my rear View
At the democrat party and looking to, my front windshield
and It looks like republicans picked up a lot of
THE policies that i used to.

Speaker 5 (01:48:04):
See over It.

Speaker 11 (01:48:05):
With THE democrats so, i don't, KNOW you know i
think that she probably has a better shot at getting
a stronger coalition than one of. The more radicals but at, The,
SAME time, Bob i mean. Democrats aren't stupid they're looking
at the future of their party and they have to
know the. Direction it's going i'm sure that they. Will
fight it but you look at the young folks who

(01:48:26):
and the things that they believe moving closer and, closer
to socialism and that's that's who their. Party appeals to.

Speaker 3 (01:48:33):
Axios poll, From last week i'm sure you, saw it
too sixty seven percent of college students either have a
positive or neutral. Position on socialism forty percent of those
college students had a positive or neutral. Position, on, capitalism
so yeah that tells you where the, party is headed
and maybe obviously where the younger. Generation is headed Even

(01:48:54):
though gen z came Up strongly For, trump in, november
you know that might be shifting because of the ongoing
doctrination in these colleges and So.

Speaker 12 (01:49:02):
They have, YEAH you know i would like to think
that the reason For that gen z shift was because
they liked The. POLICIES of trump i honestly think a
lot of them just learned to burn. The SYSTEM down
and i think that they have been failed by, their
education system and that's why they they have no idea
what socialism looks like when it is carried out to it's.

Speaker 3 (01:49:21):
For this extent there's a video. That's flying around. It's
gone viral it's it's images of women who have been
brutalized by socialism And, particularly by islamism which of course
is all Reflected. In zoron mamdani this red green axis
of evil quite frankly that is making its way through the,
party has, indeed you know claimed, so many, Victims particularly,

(01:49:44):
women and, yeah you're right they don't know what. They're
asking for if they embrace socialism and if they are
not on guard against The, rise of islamism it's a.
Really dangerous Combination Amanda had white House correspondent From, JUSTIN
is amanda i really appreciate, You coming on thank you,
for the insights and have.

Speaker 5 (01:50:00):
A great weekend thank you the.

Indeed Except for jimmy barrett has The Day And i'm

Speaker 5 (01:57:10):
In for him hopefully you're Having. A great friday it is,
seven THIRTY seven.

Speaker 3 (01:57:13):
So i kind of want TO share something i was
talking Earlier On. About John fetterman john fetterman has become
AN absolute hero i think For. Most moderate americans he
stood up to the socialist Wing Of, the democrat party which,
by the way has now Taken Over. The democrat party
and he has earned the enmity and the scorn of
A lot of democrats, because of it for, simply being reasonable,

(01:57:35):
simply for, saying you know we should. Pay our bills
we should open the government and. Pay our bills we,
can negotiate healthcare but we cannot. Shut everything Down and the.
Democrats Hated that the democrats seem to want to get
him to be. SOMETHING he's not i want you to
listen to This Exchange. With Katie kirk katie cork is
desperately Trying To bait john fetterman into saying something horrible

(01:57:57):
and negative About The. Late Charlie kirk john fetterman will
not bite much to her. Anger.

Speaker 49 (01:58:02):
And dismay listen flags should have been flown. At half
staff do you think his body should have been flown on?
Air force too do you think he should have posthumously
Be Given the Presidential. MEDAL of freedom i think some
people felt that that was perhaps over the top in
terms of Mourning Someone. Like charlie kirk some people IS.

Speaker 5 (01:58:27):
Code for i that's what she. MEANS to Say I,
hated CHARLIE kirk and i think it was. Over the
top how.

Speaker 13 (01:58:34):
Did you, Feel about that i'd say that that was
his choice, and his prerogative and that's that's where that's
and that was that was really entirely.

Speaker 49 (01:58:43):
Up to him did you have, any issues now in
hindsight over some of The Things that charlie kirk said
and some of the rhetoric he used. DURING his life.

Speaker 13 (01:58:55):
I didn't agree with with. MUCH of it i didn't
closely followed his civic, kinds OF views.

Speaker 49 (01:59:01):
But i did i'm sure you learned about them, after, His,
DEATH though.

Speaker 1 (01:59:07):
No i.

Speaker 3 (01:59:07):
Haven't done it she's desperate to get him to say
something negative because she hated him, so very much because
she is one of, the most hateful vile people in
The history of american.

Speaker 13 (01:59:16):
Media and journalism you, dive on, IT you KNOW i,
described i mean we've all seen. That terrible video perhaps
if you've seen THE actual, video i have and, it's
like appalling and that's part of. The political violence And from,
what i'm saying it's like that's unacceptable and engaging in
a DEBATE and views i. Strongly disagree on that's Part of,

(01:59:38):
the american democracy, and for me it's that would never.
Justify WHAT'S happened and i just chose not to take
the opportunity to argue his views after after children loft
his father in the most. VIOLENT public, way i MEAN

(01:59:58):
so that's i would, Say the equivalent the equivalent on the, left,
might Be, SAY mister piker i strongly disagree, with HIS
views but i would am appulled if.

Speaker 5 (02:00:08):
Something like that. Happened to him.

Speaker 13 (02:00:10):
OH my, god i mean, that's you know like we
have to we have to disagree in better ways where
you know you're going to solve it. By shooting people
and that's why the kinds of rhetoric we have to turn.
The temperature down extreme rhetoric makes it easier for extreme
reactions or.

Speaker 5 (02:00:27):
To Justify them.

Speaker 3 (02:00:29):
John fetterman has become the voice of Reason In, the
democrat party and, because Of That the democrat party is
trying to Rid Themselves. Of john fetterman they want no
reason they want, no reasonable ness they want simply that. Type,
of aggression okay. It is one let's do traffic. And
weather stuff you got my, back RIGHT always except I
don't want. Christmas music, here OH.

Speaker 5 (02:00:50):
Shit Yeah i want we're. Not going there, that's all, right.

Speaker 4 (02:00:52):
THAT'S right dude i just, want TO say if i
Ever od on blue Cho Just play katie kirk's voice and.

Speaker 5 (02:00:59):
That'll fix. It right there she's going to feel that in.
The morning too six.

me like the wreck is Really Right. Before the east
texas this is westbound. Either way without laneas you've got

Speaker 5 (02:05:07):
So sky mike cast what's?

Speaker 3 (02:05:08):
Coming UP after him and i want to give you
a little bit to Close The Show From United states
Senator bernie Marino. IS senator from ohio i had a
chance to talk with him yesterday. About the path forward
because the shutdown is the shutdown and it. Is now
the past but what?

Speaker 5 (02:05:21):
Was the Shutdown Over for.

Speaker 3 (02:05:23):
The democrats two things one political power they had to
show going into the midterms that they're, bigger and they're
tough and They Stood up. To orange man bad So
it's a political it, was a political shutdown but it
was Also over. The broken, obamacare, System. Obamacare failed period americans.

Speaker 5 (02:05:40):
It Was Never.

Speaker 3 (02:05:41):
The affordable care act, it was always unaffordable and it
was designed to be so so that eventually it would
be so bad nobody. Could pay for anything they would
beg the, government to rescue them and the only way
they could do that would be with what a national
healthcare system, that means socialized. Medicine single payer healthcare so
this is. All all about healthcare and if we Are

(02:06:01):
to blow up obamacare and replace, it with something better
it's going. To take some time what do? We Do
about it comes january. WHEN the subsidies expire i Asked
That Question, of senator burnie marino and, Here's What, he
said senator marino what? About the immediate future meaning let's
say that the three point plan you laid out. Is
the right plan it's not something that can get. Done

(02:06:22):
in short order it certainly will Not get done. By
december Thirty first so when december thirty first comes and
these subsidies are not, extended past that deadline and people's premiums,
do double or triple Which is what the. Democrats, have
been warning. Again it's their fault they're the ones, who
made the decision. So they're warning themselves but nonetheless they are.
Accurate in that. Regard it will happen so will there

(02:06:44):
be any kind of a short term fix to make
sure people don't lose their healthcare coverage altogether because.

Speaker 5 (02:06:48):
They, CAN'T afford premiums.

Speaker 25 (02:06:50):
Yeah i think there's an appetite for Us To EXTEND
the biden kuamacare covid subsidies for one year, to give
that relief but with those three, modifications, meaning income taps
restored elimination, of zero dollar premium and having the money
go direct in, a health savings account not check. To
THE insurance company and i think we can pass that

(02:07:13):
before class so that the subsidies expend for one more,
year for the people and then take the next few
months after that to actually pass a healthcare build That delivers.

Speaker 5 (02:07:23):
For the american people, it's not it's hard.

Speaker 17 (02:07:26):
But it's worth doing is it Fair.

Speaker 3 (02:07:28):
To say that obamacare absolutely must die for health insurance
in this Country to become afford it's funny They Called It,
the affordable care act and they say that, with a
straight face but it is, literally unaffordable they. Admit without
taxpayer subsidies so is it fair to say that it
has to end for healthcare to actually?

Speaker 5 (02:07:44):
Recover in this.

Speaker 25 (02:07:45):
Country absolutely need we need to re envision healthcare in
this country in a way. That Actually delivers affordability that
obamacare should Have Been Called The healthcare Enrichment Healthcare, company
in richmond act because you got to look at the status.
Of it's pretty startling you look at the stock price
of health insurance, providers since twenty fourteen and they outperformed

(02:08:07):
any other corporation by magnitudes of like. TEN to, twenty
x i mean this enriched these companies in a way
that you. Could never even fathom so we. Need to
fix it we will fix it now that We have
these eight democrats that have understood that destroying the country
is not what we are. Get Elected to do We're,
republicans WHO are democrats and i won't agree with everything

(02:08:30):
that these guys do by probably a lot of things
that we don't do that, we have disagreements on But deliver.
For the american people everybody should rally around.

Speaker 3 (02:08:40):
The question about it and here's the real kicker here
to put. A bow on this they could have been
negotiating a way to fix the premium problem and the
deductible problem for the, last forty three days now forty.
Five since it's over but for forty three days they
could negotiate because they would not negotiate at the tip
of a spear or at the point the. Business center
a on they weren't. Going to do that but now that,

(02:09:01):
the government is open they can sit down and start
negotiating a way to make sure that healthcare is affordable
in the short term when The subsidies, end on january
first and then work for.

Speaker 25 (02:09:12):
A long.

Speaker 3 (02:09:12):
Term solution that's it that's all the time we've got.
For you This Morning thank you jimmy barrett for trusting.

the show it's a better. WAY to say that i
appreciate that everyone have a Great Weekend. And enjoy michael
