Vlad Davidiuk - Political Strategist Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, we've been here before, haven't we. Six twenty two
is our time. You're in Houston's want to he is glad.
The video joins US political strategist to talk about the
Dems threatening a shutdown. Of course, it never seems to happen.
We always get to the eleventh hour and they work
something up, but unfortunately they usually work it out. Glad
by Republicans capitulating. Does that happen this time?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I think it's going to be extremely hard for Republicans
to be able to fall on their sword like they
usually do. They have strong leadership in the White House
and in both chambers of the United States Legislature, and
so it's inconceivable at this point that they're going to
back down to people like Chuck Schumer at Kim Jeffries.

(00:42):
I think the demands that demands are the Democrats are
making amount to a one trillion dollar ransom because they're
holding the American people hostage, They're holding American government hostage.
I don't think Trump but it is going to back
down to that kind of demand.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Well, I certainly wouldn't expect him to do it, and
I'm and if he doesn't want it done, I'm pretty
sure he's going to try to make sure that leadership
in both the Senate and the House understand that. So
exactly what is it the Democrats are looking for to
avoid the shutdown? You mentioned a one trillion dollar ransom?
What does this included that one trillion dollars?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, like they want crazy things like restoring funding for
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, or they want they want
money that allows them to provide healthcare and services for
a legal aliens. It's it's not really a serious demand
and a serious negotiation for all intents and purposes. Every

(01:40):
single time a Democrat goes on television and speaking about
the looming shutdown, they're basically tricking and hoodweeking the American
people over their demands, because what it amounts to is
they want to find a way to keep that slush
fund going that they got so spoiled on when Joe
Biden was in office. They loved the amounts of money

(02:04):
that Joe Biden and his team were shoveling toward every
single leftist agenda item, and they want that to continue.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
And I would guess too that they probably want to
be able to have the talking point right. They want
to be able to say, hey, listen, we tried to negotiate.
The President wouldn't even meet with us. The Republicans are
the reason why there's a government shutdown. It's not us.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, And that has always worked in the past, going
back twenty thirty years, that whatever happens, in every single case,
Republicans are going to get blamed for the shutdown, even
if it was something that Democrats did. But that is
no longer the case. That metric no longer applies. That
narrative will not hold, especially given the fact that Republicans

(02:46):
hold not only the White House, but the Senate and
the Congress, and that people are starting to wake up
to the fake news that the Democrats keep pushing. The
fact that President Trump has announced publicly and spoken publicly
about his negotiations about the failures that the Democrats bring
about his refusal to give into their creavy demands has

(03:07):
really set the table because now Americans understand what republic
what Democrats are asking for. It's not only unreasonable, but
it's already out of the question to half the country.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
And to be clear, for the majority of Americans, the
government shut down, they aren't even going to notice it,
are they if it does shut down.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
The vast majority will not even see what a government
shut down equates to in their life. The unserious, the
ridiculous demands that Democrats are making is to keep fringe benefits.
It's to keep flush funds, flush funds going. It's not
to keep the essential services. No one's going to miss
out on their Social Security check, no one's going to

(03:48):
miss out on mail delivery. Police and fire services will
continue the military will continue to stand strong defending our nation.
The vast majority of those impacted by the government shutdown
are people who are protected by, implemented by, and managed
by Democrat controlled cities and Democrat controlled districts across the country.

(04:12):
And what they're trying to do is they're trying to
keep that bloat. They're trying to keep that that that
overspending in place.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Could this backfire on Democrats? Could they end up losing
some of these people through through through a firing for example,
Would the president have the ability to fire any of
these people who end up going out on a government
shutdown or shutting any of these departments down or thinning
them out.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I think I think it could very seriously and very
quickly backfire. On Democrats. I think most Americans have had
to deal with a contracting economy and we're in a
worse seeing comomy that manifested under Joe Biden, with much
higher inflation, higher taxes, and they've all had to tighten
their belts, they've had to find ways to manage their resources.

(04:57):
And now Congress refuses to do so, even though they
see the evidence of what happened in twenty twenty four
when President Trump won re election, and they've seen the unification,
really the increasing unity across our country following democratic violence
across the country, including with the murder of Charlie Kirk.

(05:19):
This is a time for us to come together and
focus on our priorities and focus on buildings stronger, not
giving in to the leftist agenda.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
All right, Glad, thanks as always appreciate it. That is
