Speaker 1 (00:05):
Yes, Welcome to the show, grated the number one most
listened to podcast on Fluida. So join us now as
we discuss news, politics, current events, aid so much more,
but through the airwaves and strapped in as we do
because three Burr broadcasting from WEAPONI Sloft Production's mobile studio.
(00:37):
Welcome to the Ho Host Show and as always I'm
your host, Ho Ho. So how y'all's doing. I hope
you're doing good? I really do, because today we're going
to be talking about the imminent government shut down starting
tomorrow September first. So, as I'm sure you are aware,
today is the end of the fiscal year and tomorrow,
(00:59):
September first starts the new fiscal year. And the problem is,
our lovely congressmen and women have yet to pass a
budget or do a continuing resolution or anything. Now, in
all honesty, in a matter of speaking, I am completely
against continuing resolutions. I mean, it has been since Obama's
(01:25):
administration that we actually operated on a budget. Has been
continuing resolution and omnimus bills every single year since every
single year, and even the Republican Congress has yet to
actually do their job since then, regardless of whether or
(01:49):
not they had a majority, they failed to do their job. Now, look,
appropriation bills is not something that requires a supermajority, just
a simple majority, so I mean, there's no reason for
them not to do it. But for some reason, these
people feel they act as though they need to have,
(02:11):
you know, cooperation from people across the island, of which case,
that's hogwash. I mean, think about it. How many Republicans
were involved in oh, let's say Obamacare something else that
required just a simple majority. And in fact the bill
was so huge that, you know, and so convoluted, and
(02:32):
they didn't they didn't allow for enough time for people
to read it. They were like, hey, we got to
get this done. We got to get this done now,
and if you want to know what's in it, you're
going to have to pass it. And it was a
crap bill, it really was. It was absolutely trash. They
had no business being passed, and it was something that
(02:54):
on the whole the American people didn't want in the
first place, you know. And I remember during that time,
whenever it passed, I mean you had some people, you know, organizations, businesses,
what have you, that were like, oh, yeah, we're all
for it, and then they found out that they weren't
one of the special ones and that they were going
to be held to account under this bill. And then
(03:15):
all of a sudden they changed their tune. They're like,
oh wait, we're not for this. You know, we're we're
going to be held to account. You know, we're going
to be subject to this just like so many other Americans.
We don't like it now. But it was like, you know, uh,
why didn't you sing that tune from the get go.
The point is they were all fine with it up
(03:38):
until the point they realized that they're going to be
held subject to it just like everyone else. But here's
the thing with the government shut down, or I guess
I should say with the you know, continuing resolutions versus
the twelve appropriation bills or omnibus bills. You know, an
omnibus bill is in matter is speaking kind of like
(04:01):
all twelve appropriation bills thrown together into one, hence omnibus bill.
And they do that on purpose, They really do. They
do this to hide spending. They make it so big,
so huge, full of so much stuff that it's you know,
and they don't allow enough time for it to actually
(04:24):
be read that they're able to slip stuff into it,
get their little projects funded at the expense of the
American people. That's what they do. They pay for things,
They pay for things that we have no business funding.
They pay for things that the majority of the American
people do not want. But yet they choose to do
(04:46):
it anyway. Why because it will. LETSIU just be honest.
It lines their pockets. I mean that's what it amounts,
do you know. And no party is immune to this,
no party is is without blame because you know, they
both do it. I mean, let's just be honest, right,
(05:07):
they both do it. Republicans and Democrats will like you know,
Republicans they like the little kickbacks too, and they throw
their own stuff in there, funding their own pet projects
and making sure that they are getting kickbacks. That's just
how government works, or at least I should say, that's
how Washington works, DC. And I don't know about you,
(05:30):
but I'm totally against that practice. But here's you know,
there's a couple of things I want you to realize
with the government shut down. Okay, Now, first and foremost,
I didn't exactly misspeak whenever I was talking about, you know,
the government shut down and different funding things of that nature,
(05:53):
but I didn't. I didn't fully explain myself in the
ramifications of it. Okay, because I did mentioned that, you know,
Social Security payouts are still going to happen, and while
that is true, I want to explain it a little
bit because all right, first, before we go into government,
(06:13):
let me go into your own household. I'm going to
separate your expenses into two different categories. That is uh
oh wow, I just had a brain fart. It's uh
(06:36):
necessary and unnecessary, I guess she used to say. I mean,
there's a spiffy word that government uses, you know, and
I don't remember what that is. You know, before I
got on the microphone, I remember, but now for some
reason it just slips my mind. But let's just say
necessary and unnecessary until I remember what that phrasing actually is.
(06:58):
So you've got your necessary things, you know, and again
this is you know, being paid out of two different
checking accounts, because that's what you're going to do out
of one checking account. You're going to have your necessity
your necessities, you know, things like your rent or your mortgage,
your insurance for your house. You know, you're we're going
(07:20):
to throw your phone bill, your water bill, your electric bill.
Undiscretionary funding. There we go. That's the word I was
looking for, or necessary necessity funding, all right, these are
the things that are necessary to run your household. And
then in your or discretionary undiscretionary is those things right there.
(07:44):
Discretionary funding is things like your Netflix, your Hulu, you know,
name your streaming service that you do, right your Amazon,
stuff that you don't actually need, you just want. That's
discretionary spending. Your underdiscretionary spending is your you know, your
(08:05):
your electric bill, your water bill, your your mortgage, your
insurance for your house, all that other kind of stuff.
You know, maybe even gas for your vehicle to get
to and from work. That's pretty necessary, right, So that's
non discretionary funding. And then your discretionary funding is the
things that you don't actually need but you just want. Okay,
(08:27):
that's how it goes. And what's happening tomorrow is in essence,
your discretionary funding is no longer budgeted anymore, and the
funding has run out, so you're no longer going to
have the Hulu, the Netflix, the other things that are
discretionary that are not necessary for the function of your house.
(08:49):
That's what's going on, and you also have things to
where like, oh, of for instance, people that are employed
at your house, if they are unnecessary, they're no longer
going to have a job. You know, you're no longer
going to be going to the bar ordering a few
(09:09):
extra drinks. You know, you're not going to be going
to a restaurant as many times. And you know, those
people that you were funding are no longer going to
get your money because it's discretionary. It's not necessary that
it gets paid out. It is not necessary for the
working of your house for those payments to continue to
(09:30):
go through. In government, it's the same. Now here's a
thing too, well, no, I'll get into that here in
a second. So what is stopping is discretionary funding paying
(09:54):
for the things that we don't actually need for the
function of America. That's what's happening. What isn't getting cut, well,
things like Social Security, that money is still going to
be there, those payments are in essence still going to
make you know, they're still going to get paid. But
the problem is they see those people that work in
(10:17):
Washington that are going to have their jobs taken away
because they are unnecessary. You know, they're unnecessary for the
function of America. So they're no longer going to have
a job starting tomorrow. You see, these people are big babies,
and like toddlers, they throw a fit whenever they don't
get their way because they want the money to continue
(10:39):
to go. They wanted to continue to flow, they wanted
to continue to go in their pockets and go into
places that they want. And in essence is what they
do is they don't make these funds of the you know,
non discretionary money get paid out as quickly as it
(11:00):
should whenever the government is fully funded. And in all honesty,
that's a complete it's horseshit. I mean, I'm just going
to be completely honest with you because I mean, okay,
let me ask you this. Well, no, let me start
with me. I'll start with me. Like, ninety to ninety
(11:23):
five percent of all of my bills I can pay automatically.
It's called autopay. You know, you set it up and
you don't even have to think about it. When the
payment comes due, it automatically comes out of your account,
easy pasy, lemon squeeze. That's how ninety to ninety five
percent of my bills are done is done through auto pay.
(11:46):
I don't have to think about it. The money's there,
I don't have to think about it. Bills due, it
gets paid. That's how it's done. I mean, I don't
know about you, but how many of y'alls out there
have that same type of thing happen? You know, your
Netflix accounts on automatic payment? There you go. I can
put my mortgage payment automatic. I can pay my water
(12:09):
bill automatic. I can pay my power bill automatic. I
don't have to think about it. It just automatically gets
taken out of my account when the bill comes due.
I don't have to think about it. There's no processing.
It's a wire transfer anyway. There you go. Now you
mean to tell me, with the government being so big
(12:29):
that it is, that they don't do things like that.
They absolutely do. Don't let them lie to you. They
absolutely do. But the thing is, whenever they hurt, they
want you to hurt. So it's what they do on
their way out the door. They remove all the automatic
(12:50):
payments because they want you to suffer, because in their
mind they're suffering. That's what they want. It's not that
the money isn't there, it's just that they are assholes
and they want to hold back things. They want to
delay things to make you hurt. That's all it amounts to.
(13:11):
I mean, in all honesty, that is the absolute truth.
They hold these things back because they want you to
suffer because of it. They want you to get mad,
and they want you to get mad at whomever they
place to blame on, which you know, in the Democrats
eze is always the Republicans and the Republican eyes, it's
(13:31):
always the Democrats, even though both of mur to blame.
But they want you to blame the people that they
want you to blame, as in mainstream media, legacy news media,
all these other kind of places. They're going to place
the blame firmly in the lapse of Republicans. That's what
they do. That's what they always do. But I mean,
(13:53):
truth be told, both of mr to blame. So if
they truly wanted to, all of these payments in nondiscretionary
spending would get paid automatically, no problems whatsoever none. But
(14:13):
like I said, this whole thing is done through politics.
They want the American people to hurt through these government shutdowns,
even though it shouldn't it shouldn't affect you whatsoever. I mean,
think about it, it's the only part of the money
that's going away is discretionary spending, the spending that isn't
(14:39):
necessary for the function of the country. That's it. Non
essential employees are going home and they're not getting paid. However, normally,
whenever this happens, their paychecks are furloughed. In other words,
they go home, they take a vacation for however long
it takes to get a working budget or continuing resolution
(15:02):
or whatever for the money to come back, and then
they come back to work and then they but they
get back pay though too, they get back pay. So
I mean, it's like taking a paid vacation. It's not
like they go you know, they're being laid off. It's
like they're going on a paid vacation, and when they
(15:23):
come back to work, whenever the money is there, they
get all that back pay. That's what that means. That's
what furloughed means. You go home, you take a vacation
only because non essential employees go home, But when you
come back to work, well, there's your money paid vacation.
(15:44):
Now what Trump has announced instead of that happening, what
he's going to do now, this is what's absolutely amazing
in my opinion, he's saying, go ahead, I dare you
shut the government down because the president doesn't necessarily have
(16:04):
to he doesn't. He can fund things through his discretion
that coincides with his agenda for government. I don't know
exactly how much leeway he has on that, but in
(16:25):
a matter of speaking, that's what it amounts to. Because
Congress didn't do their job and past the twelve appropriation
bills that they are supposed to pass, the President has
the ability to pay for things and keep the government
going on a limited budget. That's what happens. But here here,
(16:54):
you know. But I've talked about this a little in
the past because I don't necessarily know in this particular
point how I feel about a continuing resolution versus the
twelve appropriation bills. I really don't. And let me explain.
(17:14):
For years, Republicans me included, are like, why don't these
people do their job. Their job is to pass twelve
appropriation bills every single year to keep the government funded,
to keep it going. That's their job. If they're not
doing their job, what the hell are they there for? Right?
(17:36):
I mean, imagine you go to work and you're there
to do a job and you have X amount of
time to do it in. I mean, you have a deadline, right,
and you don't get that done. You don't meet your deadline.
And you know it's not even a one off, you
don't meet your deadline. I mean it's a continuous thing.
(17:56):
I mean, think about it. It's been since Obama, early Obama.
I mean it's been it's been a long time that
they've actually passed a budget, since I've actually done their job,
done the twelve appropriation bills. If you go to work
and you don't meet your deadlines, and it's say it's
(18:17):
an ongoing issue, you don't meet your deadlines, are you
still going to have a job. I mean more times
than not, No, you're going to be let go. You're
going to be fired. They're going to bring somebody in
who can do the job. I mean that's how the
real world works, right. You don't do your job. Your
(18:39):
job is to do X, and you go in and
you do everything. But you know, you're a cashier. But
instead of going into your job and you know, running
a register, you go outside and you start pushing cards.
Why it's not your job, you know, I mean it's
one thing. If they overstay and they ask you to
(19:01):
go do something different. It's another if on your own volition,
just because you feel like it. It's a beautiful day outside,
you're going to go outside and push carts. No, it
doesn't work like that. Your job is the runner register.
That's what they hired you for. You don't necessarily have
the freedom to just do whatever the hell you want to.
But that's how these people in Congress operate. They like
(19:24):
to not do their job, and then whenever their job
doesn't get done, they place the blame on everybody but themselves.
And like I said, Democrats and Republicans alike are both
guilty of this. But here's the thing. Though they have
actually passed a couple appropriation bills, the problem is they're
(19:47):
shit because the Democrats and some Republicans too, they put
funding in there for things that we don't want there
to be funding for. I mean, that's truly what it
amouse was like, dude, why did you fund these Democrat
shit force us to pay for it? I mean, why
did you do that? This isn't what Republicans want and
(20:09):
this isn't what we sent you to Washington and elected
you in the office to fund this isn't what we
wanted you to do. So in this case, because we
have a bunch of mansy pansy Republicans in there that
don't actually you know, they don't feel it necessary to
(20:31):
do the job that we sent them the Washington to do,
you know, eliminate some you know, some red tape regulations,
to you know, actually fund the things in government that
Republicans want funded. I mean, let's not forget all five
swing states voted Republican. Trump won a majority of voters.
(21:01):
That's over fifty percent voted for a Republican voted for Trump.
That means that we wanted his agenda to be carried
out in Washington, DC. Why aren't they doing their job?
You know, forget your party politics. Why don't you start
(21:21):
doing the will of the people instead. That's what takes
us off, or at least it takes me off. I
don't know if it takes you off the same way
it does me, but it definitely takes me off. I
wish the government would actually do their job instead. They
don't feel it necessary because the American people, after everything's
(21:47):
all said and done, we don't hold them accountable. We don't.
It's sad, but It's true. I don't hold the people
that we send up to Washington to represent us accountable
for their poor actions. We don't hold them accountable for
(22:10):
them not doing their job. And as far as I
can tell, how's that worked out for us? Not very good.
So they've already passed some bills that really don't farewell
for Republicans. They've already slipped things in their Democrats has
(22:33):
already slipped things in there that Republicans on the whole
don't want funded anyway. And it may actually be not
entirely bad if we do a continuing resolution at least
this time. Why, let me tell you, Because if Republicans
(22:56):
actually hold their you know, hold of their guns, and
if they actually are able to stand on principle and
do what the you know, their constituents, what me and
you want them to do, then hey, there you go.
All the things that they slipped into the appropriation bill
(23:16):
isn't going to get funded as long as they actually
stick to their guns. Now, do I think that's actually
going to happen? No, not at all. I mean I
really don't. But it's not like they haven't been doing
some negotiating as well. I mean, I know President Trump
(23:37):
was supposed to meet with Chuck Schumer and I think
it was Scheff. I don't remember. I don't care because
the biggest thing that I heard about that is some
of the things that Democrats demanded, they get paid, They
get put into the appropriation bills or a continuing resolution.
(23:57):
And President Trump is like, absolutely not, because what the
Democrats demanded was free healthcare, free housing, free education, free
everything to illegal aliens. And President Trump was like, not
(24:20):
going to happen. No, you have no leg to stand on.
You are not in the majority, you are in the minority.
Why are we cowtowing to you? You're really going to
hold us hostage because you want to fund and pay
for the very thing, the very reason why I got elected,
(24:41):
which was to defund that shit. And you mean to
tell me you're going to try to strong arm the
President the American people into funding things that we don't
want funded. Absolutely not, That's what the President said, Absolutely not.
Not giving illegal aliens access to tax payer dollars. I'm
(25:04):
not going to do it. They shouldn't have access to
taxpayer dollars. Anyway they want to come here, they can
do it the legal way. Right now, they need to
get their ass, pack their shit, and go home. That's it, period,
end of story. I have no sympathy for these people, Sorry,
but I don't. My time for sympathy is gone. I'm
(25:29):
not going to feel sorry for him. I don't. They don't.
They don't belong here. Yes, we are a nation of immigrants, absolutely,
but not illegal immigration. That's not acceptable. That's not acceptable
in this country, nor is it acceptable in any other
country across the world. Why because people take advantage of them,
(25:51):
because they know that that just pure open border for
the sake of having an open border is really bad
for the people that live there, really bad for the citizenry.
I mean, G, the fix is in. I mean, you
look at how the European Union is doing right now.
(26:12):
Not very good. You want to know why, too many
open border policies of some countries. That's why it's shit.
They're being overrun. They can't pay for this thing, and
the citizens are hurting, they're suffering, and now they're like, eh,
you know, maybe we shouldn't have done this, right. I mean,
(26:34):
that's more or less what their whole thought process is
going on right now. G. We are, you know, hurting
for the policies that we've been enacting and this really
isn't good. Maybe we shouldn't have done that. They're changing
their policies, their role in it back. I mean, I
really wish that Democrats and Republicans alike would do the
same damn thing. You know, maybe we shouldn't do this.
(26:57):
It's hurting first and foremost of people that we are
supposed to be representing. But they don't really seem to care.
So that's what it amounts to. Starting tomorrow twelve oh
one a m. The new fiscal year starts and all
(27:23):
discretionary spending ceases. All unnecessary employees are going home. And
one of the things President Trump said, and I tell
you what, I am super excited about this. I was like,
this is awesome. You see, they're unnecessary employees, right. I
(27:47):
mean my question has been for quite some time. If
they're unnecessary for the function of government, then why do
they even have a job in government? I mean, that's
been a question I have had for you years. If
you've heard this podcast before, then you've heard that exact
same argument. If they're unnecessary employees in the federal government,
(28:09):
why do they have a job. Nobody can seem to
answer that question. People in Washington cannot answer that question.
The people that are going to be losing their job,
that are going to be sent home, say hey, you
gotta wait until you know the budget gets passed. These
people can't even answer why they're there. I mean, it's
(28:34):
it's really is pathetic, It really is. Do you remember
whenever Elon Musk bought Twitter changed the name to X,
he liquidated like what, eighty percent of the employees in
a very short amount of time, he liquidated like eighty
percent of the employees, and in all honesty the same
(29:00):
a matter of work was getting done, because, as it
turns out, most of those people that were being terminated,
like the absolute vast majority of these people they got terminated,
didn't actually do anything. I mean, remember the emails that
(29:23):
he did, you know, list five things you did this week?
You know, kind of a validation of employment that they
did in government. How many people got angry about that?
I mean, it's it's a productivity review, a performance review. Right,
(29:51):
eighty percent of Twitter was liquidated because most of them
weren't doing anything anyway. And when I tell you that
things in government is just as bad, probably worse, that's
actually kind of an understandment. Things in government's worse. Most
(30:16):
of these people don't do jack. They actually get reprimanded
if they do too much work, if they do their
job too good, too effectively, they get in trouble. Ge
tone it down. You're making the rest of us look bad. So,
(30:37):
like I said before, the only funding that ran out
is discretionary funding. That's it. The only employees that are
getting sent home are non essential. Essential government employees are
still going to have a job. Non discretionary funding is
(31:01):
still going out. Your Social Security, your Medicaid, Medicare, those
things are still being paid for. And in a world
where auto pay is the norm, the only reason why
(31:21):
checks may get delayed is because the government wants to
delay your check. It ain't because they have to. It
ain't because the funding ain't there, And truth be told,
it's not even because people ain't there to process it.
The only reason why they're doing it is because they
want to. I want I want that to soak into you.
(31:44):
I want you to hear that the only reason why
they would in those cases that is tied to non
discretionary funding is because they want you to hurt. They
want you to call your congressmen, call your congresswoman. They
want you to pressure them into coming up with an
(32:06):
immediate solution that is going to benefit Democrats. That's what
they want, and that's all they care about. That's it.
That's all they care about. They don't care about you,
They don't care about me. They want you subservant to them.
(32:28):
They want you to be a subject to them. They
want you to be a slave to them and their will.
They want every last thing, every pet project, to line
their pockets and the pockets of all their friends. They
want all that stuff funded, and they are willing to
(32:48):
burn it all to the ground to get what they want.
It ain't pretty, but it's the truth. Let me see
what else I was wanting to get into today. Let
me pop over to here and yep, okay, got to
(33:09):
open it up, got to get into it. Opening up up.
I do have a magazine with some articles in here.
Over on the flipboard, you can head on over to
theho Hotshow dot com. Click on that newsfeed tab and
it'll take you to the most recent magazine, which is
not today's magazine. I can only do that from a
home computer. Unfortunately, I can't do that over the road,
(33:32):
but by clicking into that most recent magazine over on
thehost show dot com. That will take you to flipboard
and it will get you access to the magazine for
today's episode nine thirty twenty twenty five. So just go
ahead and check that out. So I am going through
(33:53):
to today. Oh yeah, here's something I forgot to talk about. Now,
here's one of the things that the president is talking
about doing with the government shut down starting tomorrow, starting
ten to one October. First. Yeah, yeah, this headline from
justinews dot com Levitt mass firings will occur if Democrats
(34:17):
allow shut down. And yes, that's absolutely true. I mean
not exactly true. You know, like I said, like I
already said, you know, Democrats and Republicans alike, because you
got too many, right, no Republicans that fall in line
with the Democrats every step of the way. There you go.
But this headline said, mass firings are going to happen. Now,
(34:38):
I am truly excited about this, I really am. And
I kind of alluded into this, but I forgot to
go into any detail on it whatsoever because I was
talking about these government employees, these non essential government employees
that are going to be sent home before how it
happened was they got it paid vacation. They got sent home,
(35:00):
and when a bill was passed, they got to go
come back to work, and they got back paid for
all the time that they didn't have to go to work.
So it's like a paid vacation. This time, the president
is talking about doing something different. This time, the president
is talking about firing as many people as he possibly can.
(35:25):
These are non essential employees. These are positions that are
not required for the everyday function of government. That's why
they were sent home. He's talking about getting rid of him. Oh,
you want to play games. You don't want to cooperate
with the funding the you know the budget that I
(35:46):
want to do. Okay, all right, go ahead, go home,
but don't expect there to be a job when the
bill gets passed, because you may go home, but you
may not come back to work. Let me think about it.
The president has been wanting to fire people and has
(36:06):
been trying to fire people for quite some time. In
this time, he actually has a legal legitimate I mean
not like he didn't before, but he has a legal
legitimate reason to send these people home and to terminate
their employment. I'm like I said, it's not like he
didn't have that before, but he really has that now.
(36:27):
And boy, hottie, let me tell you, I'm excited about that.
I really am. It's like, dude, yes, finally we can
get some of the get rid of some of the
bloats in Washington, DC. Let me ask you a question.
When was the last time you purchased a cell phone?
(36:51):
When was the last time you purchased a new computer?
How many programs or apps was on that device that
you didn't put on there yourself? You didn't want, you
don't use, And you don't like that as taking of
space in your hard drive. You don't like that, it's
(37:11):
taking of space in your phone's memory. You don't like
that it's taking of space. You didn't want it, you
have no intention of using it, but you're stuck with
it because it was put on your phone without your
consent as part of the phone itself. Bloatwear Right, How
(37:37):
many of y'all have ever played a game on your
computer on your phone? How many of you have done that?
I know I have? Raise your hand, yeah, my hand's up,
My hands raised. You know, you get so far in
a game, you complete a level, you do something, you succeed,
you fail, doesn't matter, then what happens bam ad. In
(38:02):
order to get rid of that ad, you gotta pay money. Hey,
I want an add free experience, even though I mean
sometimes you just you just can't get away from AD free.
You know, from ads. You're kind of forced to watch
them all the time. It's ridiculous. I hate it. You
want to know, what takes me off sometimes more than
anything else, is watching an AD for game that claims
(38:25):
that it doesn't have ads. I mean, how many times
have you done that? You downloaded a game because I
said it didn't have ads, just to find out, Oh,
it's god, ads ridiculous, isn't it? Does it? Does it
take you off as much as it does me? Because
I know it takes me off. It irritates the wholy
hell out of me. But here's the thing in Washington, DC,
(38:49):
that's what we have a lot of bloatwear, a lot
of unnecessary programs and unnecessary people that are not necessary
for the function of And President Trump is saying, if
you don't want to pass my budget, if you don't
want to operate this country in the way that the
American people have spoken up and said that they want
(39:11):
this party going as If you don't want to do that,
if you want to play games, that's fine, Go home,
stay home. We're tired of blot We're tired of ads,
We're tired of all the wasteless spending that doesn't do
anything more than lining the pockets of government. We're done
(39:34):
with it. We don't want it anymore. Go home and
in the lonesty. I have no sympathy for these employees.
I really don't. I don't have any sympathy form whatsoever.
You want to know why? You want to know why
I have no sympathy for him? Where were they when
(39:59):
they told American citizens to stay home if they refused
to get a jab? Where were they? Where were they
whenever they took your job away and gave it to
an illegal alien? Where were they? Where were they whenever
(40:19):
their policy shut down an industry and thousands of people
lost their jobs? Where were they? Did they help you
at all? Know? They didn't? What did they say, Hey,
learn to code right, pick up a hammer, pick up
a saw, learn how to do something different? That's what
(40:39):
they said. There was no sympathy, There was no remorse
for what they did, none whatsoever. Why should I have
sympathy for them when they don't have any sympathy for me.
They don't give a damn that the things that they
do cost Americans citizens their job, their housing, their livelihood,
(41:04):
their everything. Look at what they have done to us
over the past ten years. Look what they've done. Do
they have any remorse? Do they care? Are they concerned
or are they only concerned when it actually affects them,
(41:24):
because that's the only time they care when it affects them.
Its bloated, bureaucratic nonsense. And it is unnecessary for the
function of our government. Why do they have a job
in the first place. If they are non essential employees
(41:48):
in government, why are my tax dollars funding their lifestyle?
They don't need to be there. What is non essential mean?
Let me put it to you straight. It means if
they go home, the government still works just as it should.
(42:11):
I mean, truth be told, That's exactly what that means.
They're not essential to the function of government. They can
go home and the American people would never know that
they left, never know. I mean, in fact, I mean
if it wasn't for a few minor things. And sometimes
(42:32):
they close things down that they don't actually have to
close down. They do it because again, they want to
cause a stink. They want people to get angry and
upset and try to, you know, force the citizenry to
contact their representatives and their senators and say pass something,
(42:52):
even if it's wrong. They're non essential andmployees, and the
things that they are voting on funding is discretionary funds,
things that aren't necessary for the function of government that
(43:14):
they can do without, right, I mean, do you actually
need Netflix, Hulu, you know name your streaming service. Do
you actually need it? Now? It may be a feel
good apparently it is something that you want, but it
(43:34):
isn't something you need. Unlike your house payment, your car payment,
your insurance, unlike your power bill, your water bill, your
cell phone bill. These are things that are necessary for
the function of your house. What you need to keep going.
(44:00):
That funding is remaining. That funding isn't going anywhere, and
at a digital day and age, it is horseshit to
say that what we need to pay these bills on
time is in person employees that will push a button.
That's bullshit. And we all know it. Auto pay Baby,
(44:23):
auto pay, right, we all know it. Anyway, That's all

Yes, Welcome to the show, grated the number one most
listened to podcast on Fluida. So join us now as
we discuss news, politics, current events, aid so much more,
but through the airwaves and strapped in as we do
because three Burr broadcasting from WEAPONI Sloft Production's mobile studio.
(00:37):
Welcome to the Ho Host Show and as always I'm
your host, Ho Ho. So how y'all's doing. I hope
you're doing good? I really do, because today we're going
to be talking about the imminent government shut down starting
tomorrow September first. So, as I'm sure you are aware,
today is the end of the fiscal year and tomorrow,
(00:59):
September first starts the new fiscal year. And the problem is,
our lovely congressmen and women have yet to pass a
budget or do a continuing resolution or anything. Now, in
all honesty, in a matter of speaking, I am completely
against continuing resolutions. I mean, it has been since Obama's
(01:25):
administration that we actually operated on a budget. Has been
continuing resolution and omnimus bills every single year since every
single year, and even the Republican Congress has yet to
actually do their job since then, regardless of whether or
(01:49):
not they had a majority, they failed to do their job. Now, look,
appropriation bills is not something that requires a supermajority, just
a simple majority, so I mean, there's no reason for
them not to do it. But for some reason, these
people feel they act as though they need to have,
(02:11):
you know, cooperation from people across the island, of which case,
that's hogwash. I mean, think about it. How many Republicans
were involved in oh, let's say Obamacare something else that
required just a simple majority. And in fact the bill
was so huge that, you know, and so convoluted, and
(02:32):
they didn't they didn't allow for enough time for people
to read it. They were like, hey, we got to
get this done. We got to get this done now,
and if you want to know what's in it, you're
going to have to pass it. And it was a
crap bill, it really was. It was absolutely trash. They
had no business being passed, and it was something that
(02:54):
on the whole the American people didn't want in the
first place, you know. And I remember during that time,
whenever it passed, I mean you had some people, you know, organizations, businesses,
what have you, that were like, oh, yeah, we're all
for it, and then they found out that they weren't
one of the special ones and that they were going
to be held to account under this bill. And then
(03:15):
all of a sudden they changed their tune. They're like,
oh wait, we're not for this. You know, we're we're
going to be held to account. You know, we're going
to be subject to this just like so many other Americans.
We don't like it now. But it was like, you know, uh,
why didn't you sing that tune from the get go.
The point is they were all fine with it up
(03:38):
until the point they realized that they're going to be
held subject to it just like everyone else. But here's
the thing with the government shut down, or I guess
I should say with the you know, continuing resolutions versus
the twelve appropriation bills or omnibus bills. You know, an
omnibus bill is in matter is speaking kind of like
(04:01):
all twelve appropriation bills thrown together into one, hence omnibus bill.
And they do that on purpose, They really do. They
do this to hide spending. They make it so big,
so huge, full of so much stuff that it's you know,
and they don't allow enough time for it to actually
(04:24):
be read that they're able to slip stuff into it,
get their little projects funded at the expense of the
American people. That's what they do. They pay for things,
They pay for things that we have no business funding.
They pay for things that the majority of the American
people do not want. But yet they choose to do
(04:46):
it anyway. Why because it will. LETSIU just be honest.
It lines their pockets. I mean that's what it amounts,
do you know. And no party is immune to this,
no party is is without blame because you know, they
both do it. I mean, let's just be honest, right,
(05:07):
they both do it. Republicans and Democrats will like you know,
Republicans they like the little kickbacks too, and they throw
their own stuff in there, funding their own pet projects
and making sure that they are getting kickbacks. That's just
how government works, or at least I should say, that's
how Washington works, DC. And I don't know about you,
(05:30):
but I'm totally against that practice. But here's you know,
there's a couple of things I want you to realize
with the government shut down. Okay, Now, first and foremost,
I didn't exactly misspeak whenever I was talking about, you know,
the government shut down and different funding things of that nature,
(05:53):
but I didn't. I didn't fully explain myself in the
ramifications of it. Okay, because I did mentioned that, you know,
Social Security payouts are still going to happen, and while
that is true, I want to explain it a little
bit because all right, first, before we go into government,
(06:13):
let me go into your own household. I'm going to
separate your expenses into two different categories. That is uh
oh wow, I just had a brain fart. It's uh
(06:36):
necessary and unnecessary, I guess she used to say. I mean,
there's a spiffy word that government uses, you know, and
I don't remember what that is. You know, before I
got on the microphone, I remember, but now for some
reason it just slips my mind. But let's just say
necessary and unnecessary until I remember what that phrasing actually is.
(06:58):
So you've got your necessary things, you know, and again
this is you know, being paid out of two different
checking accounts, because that's what you're going to do out
of one checking account. You're going to have your necessity
your necessities, you know, things like your rent or your mortgage,
your insurance for your house. You know, you're we're going
(07:20):
to throw your phone bill, your water bill, your electric bill.
Undiscretionary funding. There we go. That's the word I was
looking for, or necessary necessity funding, all right, these are
the things that are necessary to run your household. And
then in your or discretionary undiscretionary is those things right there.
(07:44):
Discretionary funding is things like your Netflix, your Hulu, you know,
name your streaming service that you do, right your Amazon,
stuff that you don't actually need, you just want. That's
discretionary spending. Your underdiscretionary spending is your you know, your
(08:05):
your electric bill, your water bill, your your mortgage, your
insurance for your house, all that other kind of stuff.
You know, maybe even gas for your vehicle to get
to and from work. That's pretty necessary, right, So that's
non discretionary funding. And then your discretionary funding is the
things that you don't actually need but you just want. Okay,
(08:27):
that's how it goes. And what's happening tomorrow is in essence,
your discretionary funding is no longer budgeted anymore, and the
funding has run out, so you're no longer going to
have the Hulu, the Netflix, the other things that are
discretionary that are not necessary for the function of your house.
(08:49):
That's what's going on, and you also have things to
where like, oh, of for instance, people that are employed
at your house, if they are unnecessary, they're no longer
going to have a job. You know, you're no longer
going to be going to the bar ordering a few
(09:09):
extra drinks. You know, you're not going to be going
to a restaurant as many times. And you know, those
people that you were funding are no longer going to
get your money because it's discretionary. It's not necessary that
it gets paid out. It is not necessary for the
working of your house for those payments to continue to
(09:30):
go through. In government, it's the same. Now here's a
thing too, well, no, I'll get into that here in
a second. So what is stopping is discretionary funding paying
(09:54):
for the things that we don't actually need for the
function of America. That's what's happening. What isn't getting cut, well,
things like Social Security, that money is still going to
be there, those payments are in essence still going to
make you know, they're still going to get paid. But
the problem is they see those people that work in
(10:17):
Washington that are going to have their jobs taken away
because they are unnecessary. You know, they're unnecessary for the
function of America. So they're no longer going to have
a job starting tomorrow. You see, these people are big babies,
and like toddlers, they throw a fit whenever they don't
get their way because they want the money to continue
(10:39):
to go. They wanted to continue to flow, they wanted
to continue to go in their pockets and go into
places that they want. And in essence is what they
do is they don't make these funds of the you know,
non discretionary money get paid out as quickly as it
(11:00):
should whenever the government is fully funded. And in all honesty,
that's a complete it's horseshit. I mean, I'm just going
to be completely honest with you because I mean, okay,
let me ask you this. Well, no, let me start
with me. I'll start with me. Like, ninety to ninety
(11:23):
five percent of all of my bills I can pay automatically.
It's called autopay. You know, you set it up and
you don't even have to think about it. When the
payment comes due, it automatically comes out of your account,
easy pasy, lemon squeeze. That's how ninety to ninety five
percent of my bills are done is done through auto pay.
(11:46):
I don't have to think about it. The money's there,
I don't have to think about it. Bills due, it
gets paid. That's how it's done. I mean, I don't
know about you, but how many of y'alls out there
have that same type of thing happen? You know, your
Netflix accounts on automatic payment? There you go. I can
put my mortgage payment automatic. I can pay my water
(12:09):
bill automatic. I can pay my power bill automatic. I
don't have to think about it. It just automatically gets
taken out of my account when the bill comes due.
I don't have to think about it. There's no processing.
It's a wire transfer anyway. There you go. Now you
mean to tell me, with the government being so big
(12:29):
that it is, that they don't do things like that.
They absolutely do. Don't let them lie to you. They
absolutely do. But the thing is, whenever they hurt, they
want you to hurt. So it's what they do on
their way out the door. They remove all the automatic
(12:50):
payments because they want you to suffer, because in their
mind they're suffering. That's what they want. It's not that
the money isn't there, it's just that they are assholes
and they want to hold back things. They want to
delay things to make you hurt. That's all it amounts to.
(13:11):
I mean, in all honesty, that is the absolute truth.
They hold these things back because they want you to
suffer because of it. They want you to get mad,
and they want you to get mad at whomever they
place to blame on, which you know, in the Democrats
eze is always the Republicans and the Republican eyes, it's
(13:31):
always the Democrats, even though both of mur to blame.
But they want you to blame the people that they
want you to blame, as in mainstream media, legacy news media,
all these other kind of places. They're going to place
the blame firmly in the lapse of Republicans. That's what
they do. That's what they always do. But I mean,
(13:53):
truth be told, both of mr to blame. So if
they truly wanted to, all of these payments in nondiscretionary
spending would get paid automatically, no problems whatsoever none. But
(14:13):
like I said, this whole thing is done through politics.
They want the American people to hurt through these government shutdowns,
even though it shouldn't it shouldn't affect you whatsoever. I mean,
think about it, it's the only part of the money
that's going away is discretionary spending, the spending that isn't
(14:39):
necessary for the function of the country. That's it. Non
essential employees are going home and they're not getting paid. However, normally,
whenever this happens, their paychecks are furloughed. In other words,
they go home, they take a vacation for however long
it takes to get a working budget or continuing resolution
(15:02):
or whatever for the money to come back, and then
they come back to work and then they but they
get back pay though too, they get back pay. So
I mean, it's like taking a paid vacation. It's not
like they go you know, they're being laid off. It's
like they're going on a paid vacation, and when they
(15:23):
come back to work, whenever the money is there, they
get all that back pay. That's what that means. That's
what furloughed means. You go home, you take a vacation
only because non essential employees go home, But when you
come back to work, well, there's your money paid vacation.
(15:44):
Now what Trump has announced instead of that happening, what
he's going to do now, this is what's absolutely amazing
in my opinion, he's saying, go ahead, I dare you
shut the government down because the president doesn't necessarily have
(16:04):
to he doesn't. He can fund things through his discretion
that coincides with his agenda for government. I don't know
exactly how much leeway he has on that, but in
(16:25):
a matter of speaking, that's what it amounts to. Because
Congress didn't do their job and past the twelve appropriation
bills that they are supposed to pass, the President has
the ability to pay for things and keep the government
going on a limited budget. That's what happens. But here here,
(16:54):
you know. But I've talked about this a little in
the past because I don't necessarily know in this particular
point how I feel about a continuing resolution versus the
twelve appropriation bills. I really don't. And let me explain.
(17:14):
For years, Republicans me included, are like, why don't these
people do their job. Their job is to pass twelve
appropriation bills every single year to keep the government funded,
to keep it going. That's their job. If they're not
doing their job, what the hell are they there for? Right?
(17:36):
I mean, imagine you go to work and you're there
to do a job and you have X amount of
time to do it in. I mean, you have a deadline, right,
and you don't get that done. You don't meet your deadline.
And you know it's not even a one off, you
don't meet your deadline. I mean it's a continuous thing.
(17:56):
I mean, think about it. It's been since Obama, early Obama.
I mean it's been it's been a long time that
they've actually passed a budget, since I've actually done their job,
done the twelve appropriation bills. If you go to work
and you don't meet your deadlines, and it's say it's
(18:17):
an ongoing issue, you don't meet your deadlines, are you
still going to have a job. I mean more times
than not, No, you're going to be let go. You're
going to be fired. They're going to bring somebody in
who can do the job. I mean that's how the
real world works, right. You don't do your job. Your
(18:39):
job is to do X, and you go in and
you do everything. But you know, you're a cashier. But
instead of going into your job and you know, running
a register, you go outside and you start pushing cards.
Why it's not your job, you know, I mean it's
one thing. If they overstay and they ask you to
(19:01):
go do something different. It's another if on your own volition,
just because you feel like it. It's a beautiful day outside,
you're going to go outside and push carts. No, it
doesn't work like that. Your job is the runner register.
That's what they hired you for. You don't necessarily have
the freedom to just do whatever the hell you want to.
But that's how these people in Congress operate. They like
(19:24):
to not do their job, and then whenever their job
doesn't get done, they place the blame on everybody but themselves.
And like I said, Democrats and Republicans alike are both
guilty of this. But here's the thing. Though they have
actually passed a couple appropriation bills, the problem is they're
(19:47):
shit because the Democrats and some Republicans too, they put
funding in there for things that we don't want there
to be funding for. I mean, that's truly what it
amouse was like, dude, why did you fund these Democrat
shit force us to pay for it? I mean, why
did you do that? This isn't what Republicans want and
(20:09):
this isn't what we sent you to Washington and elected
you in the office to fund this isn't what we
wanted you to do. So in this case, because we
have a bunch of mansy pansy Republicans in there that
don't actually you know, they don't feel it necessary to
(20:31):
do the job that we sent them the Washington to do,
you know, eliminate some you know, some red tape regulations,
to you know, actually fund the things in government that
Republicans want funded. I mean, let's not forget all five
swing states voted Republican. Trump won a majority of voters.
(21:01):
That's over fifty percent voted for a Republican voted for Trump.
That means that we wanted his agenda to be carried
out in Washington, DC. Why aren't they doing their job?
You know, forget your party politics. Why don't you start
(21:21):
doing the will of the people instead. That's what takes
us off, or at least it takes me off. I
don't know if it takes you off the same way
it does me, but it definitely takes me off. I
wish the government would actually do their job instead. They
don't feel it necessary because the American people, after everything's
(21:47):
all said and done, we don't hold them accountable. We don't.
It's sad, but It's true. I don't hold the people
that we send up to Washington to represent us accountable
for their poor actions. We don't hold them accountable for
(22:10):
them not doing their job. And as far as I
can tell, how's that worked out for us? Not very good.
So they've already passed some bills that really don't farewell
for Republicans. They've already slipped things in their Democrats has
(22:33):
already slipped things in there that Republicans on the whole
don't want funded anyway. And it may actually be not
entirely bad if we do a continuing resolution at least
this time. Why, let me tell you, Because if Republicans
(22:56):
actually hold their you know, hold of their guns, and
if they actually are able to stand on principle and
do what the you know, their constituents, what me and
you want them to do, then hey, there you go.
All the things that they slipped into the appropriation bill
(23:16):
isn't going to get funded as long as they actually
stick to their guns. Now, do I think that's actually
going to happen? No, not at all. I mean I
really don't. But it's not like they haven't been doing
some negotiating as well. I mean, I know President Trump
(23:37):
was supposed to meet with Chuck Schumer and I think
it was Scheff. I don't remember. I don't care because
the biggest thing that I heard about that is some
of the things that Democrats demanded, they get paid, They
get put into the appropriation bills or a continuing resolution.
(23:57):
And President Trump is like, absolutely not, because what the
Democrats demanded was free healthcare, free housing, free education, free
everything to illegal aliens. And President Trump was like, not
(24:20):
going to happen. No, you have no leg to stand on.
You are not in the majority, you are in the minority.
Why are we cowtowing to you? You're really going to
hold us hostage because you want to fund and pay
for the very thing, the very reason why I got elected,
(24:41):
which was to defund that shit. And you mean to
tell me you're going to try to strong arm the
President the American people into funding things that we don't
want funded. Absolutely not, That's what the President said, Absolutely not.
Not giving illegal aliens access to tax payer dollars. I'm
(25:04):
not going to do it. They shouldn't have access to
taxpayer dollars. Anyway they want to come here, they can
do it the legal way. Right now, they need to
get their ass, pack their shit, and go home. That's it, period,
end of story. I have no sympathy for these people, Sorry,
but I don't. My time for sympathy is gone. I'm
(25:29):
not going to feel sorry for him. I don't. They don't.
They don't belong here. Yes, we are a nation of immigrants, absolutely,
but not illegal immigration. That's not acceptable. That's not acceptable
in this country, nor is it acceptable in any other
country across the world. Why because people take advantage of them,
(25:51):
because they know that that just pure open border for
the sake of having an open border is really bad
for the people that live there, really bad for the citizenry.
I mean, G, the fix is in. I mean, you
look at how the European Union is doing right now.
(26:12):
Not very good. You want to know why, too many
open border policies of some countries. That's why it's shit.
They're being overrun. They can't pay for this thing, and
the citizens are hurting, they're suffering, and now they're like, eh,
you know, maybe we shouldn't have done this, right. I mean,
(26:34):
that's more or less what their whole thought process is
going on right now. G. We are, you know, hurting
for the policies that we've been enacting and this really
isn't good. Maybe we shouldn't have done that. They're changing
their policies, their role in it back. I mean, I
really wish that Democrats and Republicans alike would do the
same damn thing. You know, maybe we shouldn't do this.
(26:57):
It's hurting first and foremost of people that we are
supposed to be representing. But they don't really seem to care.
So that's what it amounts to. Starting tomorrow twelve oh
one a m. The new fiscal year starts and all
(27:23):
discretionary spending ceases. All unnecessary employees are going home. And
one of the things President Trump said, and I tell
you what, I am super excited about this. I was like,
this is awesome. You see, they're unnecessary employees, right. I
(27:47):
mean my question has been for quite some time. If
they're unnecessary for the function of government, then why do
they even have a job in government? I mean, that's
been a question I have had for you years. If
you've heard this podcast before, then you've heard that exact
same argument. If they're unnecessary employees in the federal government,
(28:09):
why do they have a job. Nobody can seem to
answer that question. People in Washington cannot answer that question.
The people that are going to be losing their job,
that are going to be sent home, say hey, you
gotta wait until you know the budget gets passed. These
people can't even answer why they're there. I mean, it's
(28:34):
it's really is pathetic, It really is. Do you remember
whenever Elon Musk bought Twitter changed the name to X,
he liquidated like what, eighty percent of the employees in
a very short amount of time, he liquidated like eighty
percent of the employees, and in all honesty the same
(29:00):
a matter of work was getting done, because, as it
turns out, most of those people that were being terminated,
like the absolute vast majority of these people they got terminated,
didn't actually do anything. I mean, remember the emails that
(29:23):
he did, you know, list five things you did this week?
You know, kind of a validation of employment that they
did in government. How many people got angry about that?
I mean, it's it's a productivity review, a performance review. Right,
(29:51):
eighty percent of Twitter was liquidated because most of them
weren't doing anything anyway. And when I tell you that
things in government is just as bad, probably worse, that's
actually kind of an understandment. Things in government's worse. Most
(30:16):
of these people don't do jack. They actually get reprimanded
if they do too much work, if they do their
job too good, too effectively, they get in trouble. Ge
tone it down. You're making the rest of us look bad. So,
(30:37):
like I said before, the only funding that ran out
is discretionary funding. That's it. The only employees that are
getting sent home are non essential. Essential government employees are
still going to have a job. Non discretionary funding is
(31:01):
still going out. Your Social Security, your Medicaid, Medicare, those
things are still being paid for. And in a world
where auto pay is the norm, the only reason why
(31:21):
checks may get delayed is because the government wants to
delay your check. It ain't because they have to. It
ain't because the funding ain't there, And truth be told,
it's not even because people ain't there to process it.
The only reason why they're doing it is because they
want to. I want I want that to soak into you.
(31:44):
I want you to hear that the only reason why
they would in those cases that is tied to non
discretionary funding is because they want you to hurt. They
want you to call your congressmen, call your congresswoman. They
want you to pressure them into coming up with an
(32:06):
immediate solution that is going to benefit Democrats. That's what
they want, and that's all they care about. That's it.
That's all they care about. They don't care about you,
They don't care about me. They want you subservant to them.
(32:28):
They want you to be a subject to them. They
want you to be a slave to them and their will.
They want every last thing, every pet project, to line
their pockets and the pockets of all their friends. They
want all that stuff funded, and they are willing to
(32:48):
burn it all to the ground to get what they want.
It ain't pretty, but it's the truth. Let me see
what else I was wanting to get into today. Let
me pop over to here and yep, okay, got to
(33:09):
open it up, got to get into it. Opening up up.
I do have a magazine with some articles in here.
Over on the flipboard, you can head on over to
theho Hotshow dot com. Click on that newsfeed tab and
it'll take you to the most recent magazine, which is
not today's magazine. I can only do that from a
home computer. Unfortunately, I can't do that over the road,
(33:32):
but by clicking into that most recent magazine over on
thehost show dot com. That will take you to flipboard
and it will get you access to the magazine for
today's episode nine thirty twenty twenty five. So just go
ahead and check that out. So I am going through
(33:53):
to today. Oh yeah, here's something I forgot to talk about. Now,
here's one of the things that the president is talking
about doing with the government shut down starting tomorrow, starting
ten to one October. First. Yeah, yeah, this headline from
justinews dot com Levitt mass firings will occur if Democrats
(34:17):
allow shut down. And yes, that's absolutely true. I mean
not exactly true. You know, like I said, like I
already said, you know, Democrats and Republicans alike, because you
got too many, right, no Republicans that fall in line
with the Democrats every step of the way. There you go.
But this headline said, mass firings are going to happen. Now,
(34:38):
I am truly excited about this, I really am. And
I kind of alluded into this, but I forgot to
go into any detail on it whatsoever because I was
talking about these government employees, these non essential government employees
that are going to be sent home before how it
happened was they got it paid vacation. They got sent home,
(35:00):
and when a bill was passed, they got to go
come back to work, and they got back paid for
all the time that they didn't have to go to work.
So it's like a paid vacation. This time, the president
is talking about doing something different. This time, the president
is talking about firing as many people as he possibly can.
(35:25):
These are non essential employees. These are positions that are
not required for the everyday function of government. That's why
they were sent home. He's talking about getting rid of him. Oh,
you want to play games. You don't want to cooperate
with the funding the you know the budget that I
(35:46):
want to do. Okay, all right, go ahead, go home,
but don't expect there to be a job when the
bill gets passed, because you may go home, but you
may not come back to work. Let me think about it.
The president has been wanting to fire people and has
(36:06):
been trying to fire people for quite some time. In
this time, he actually has a legal legitimate I mean
not like he didn't before, but he has a legal
legitimate reason to send these people home and to terminate
their employment. I'm like I said, it's not like he
didn't have that before, but he really has that now.
(36:27):
And boy, hottie, let me tell you, I'm excited about that.
I really am. It's like, dude, yes, finally we can
get some of the get rid of some of the
bloats in Washington, DC. Let me ask you a question.
When was the last time you purchased a cell phone?
(36:51):
When was the last time you purchased a new computer?
How many programs or apps was on that device that
you didn't put on there yourself? You didn't want, you
don't use, And you don't like that as taking of
space in your hard drive. You don't like that, it's
(37:11):
taking of space in your phone's memory. You don't like
that it's taking of space. You didn't want it, you
have no intention of using it, but you're stuck with
it because it was put on your phone without your
consent as part of the phone itself. Bloatwear Right, How
(37:37):
many of y'all have ever played a game on your
computer on your phone? How many of you have done that?
I know I have? Raise your hand, yeah, my hand's up,
My hands raised. You know, you get so far in
a game, you complete a level, you do something, you succeed,
you fail, doesn't matter, then what happens bam ad. In
(38:02):
order to get rid of that ad, you gotta pay money. Hey,
I want an add free experience, even though I mean
sometimes you just you just can't get away from AD free.
You know, from ads. You're kind of forced to watch
them all the time. It's ridiculous. I hate it. You
want to know, what takes me off sometimes more than
anything else, is watching an AD for game that claims
(38:25):
that it doesn't have ads. I mean, how many times
have you done that? You downloaded a game because I
said it didn't have ads, just to find out, Oh,
it's god, ads ridiculous, isn't it? Does it? Does it
take you off as much as it does me? Because
I know it takes me off. It irritates the wholy
hell out of me. But here's the thing in Washington, DC,
(38:49):
that's what we have a lot of bloatwear, a lot
of unnecessary programs and unnecessary people that are not necessary
for the function of And President Trump is saying, if
you don't want to pass my budget, if you don't
want to operate this country in the way that the
American people have spoken up and said that they want
(39:11):
this party going as If you don't want to do that,
if you want to play games, that's fine, Go home,
stay home. We're tired of blot We're tired of ads,
We're tired of all the wasteless spending that doesn't do
anything more than lining the pockets of government. We're done
(39:34):
with it. We don't want it anymore. Go home and
in the lonesty. I have no sympathy for these employees.
I really don't. I don't have any sympathy form whatsoever.
You want to know why? You want to know why
I have no sympathy for him? Where were they when
(39:59):
they told American citizens to stay home if they refused
to get a jab? Where were they? Where were they
whenever they took your job away and gave it to
an illegal alien? Where were they? Where were they whenever
(40:19):
their policy shut down an industry and thousands of people
lost their jobs? Where were they? Did they help you
at all? Know? They didn't? What did they say, Hey,
learn to code right, pick up a hammer, pick up
a saw, learn how to do something different? That's what
(40:39):
they said. There was no sympathy, There was no remorse
for what they did, none whatsoever. Why should I have
sympathy for them when they don't have any sympathy for me.
They don't give a damn that the things that they
do cost Americans citizens their job, their housing, their livelihood,
(41:04):
their everything. Look at what they have done to us
over the past ten years. Look what they've done. Do
they have any remorse? Do they care? Are they concerned
or are they only concerned when it actually affects them,
(41:24):
because that's the only time they care when it affects them.
Its bloated, bureaucratic nonsense. And it is unnecessary for the
function of our government. Why do they have a job
in the first place. If they are non essential employees
(41:48):
in government, why are my tax dollars funding their lifestyle?
They don't need to be there. What is non essential mean?
Let me put it to you straight. It means if
they go home, the government still works just as it should.
(42:11):
I mean, truth be told, That's exactly what that means.
They're not essential to the function of government. They can
go home and the American people would never know that
they left, never know. I mean, in fact, I mean
if it wasn't for a few minor things. And sometimes
(42:32):
they close things down that they don't actually have to
close down. They do it because again, they want to
cause a stink. They want people to get angry and
upset and try to, you know, force the citizenry to
contact their representatives and their senators and say pass something,
(42:52):
even if it's wrong. They're non essential andmployees, and the
things that they are voting on funding is discretionary funds,
things that aren't necessary for the function of government that
(43:14):
they can do without, right, I mean, do you actually
need Netflix, Hulu, you know name your streaming service. Do
you actually need it? Now? It may be a feel
good apparently it is something that you want, but it
(43:34):
isn't something you need. Unlike your house payment, your car payment,
your insurance, unlike your power bill, your water bill, your
cell phone bill. These are things that are necessary for
the function of your house. What you need to keep going.
(44:00):
That funding is remaining. That funding isn't going anywhere, and
at a digital day and age, it is horseshit to
say that what we need to pay these bills on
time is in person employees that will push a button.
That's bullshit. And we all know it. Auto pay Baby,
(44:23):
auto pay, right, we all know it. Anyway, That's all
I got for y'all today. That is it. If you
