00:09:23.000and I finished and I just I just crashed I fell asleep and I woke up and I was like man I do not want to do a show so so I procrastinated a little bit but I'm here now so you're getting the content regardless but I'll be here tomorrow like 10 o'clock okay I promise tomorrow I'm getting back on the program 10 o'clock show
00:09:59.000Our featured story, we're talking about the government shutdown.
00:10:03.000And I've been in support of it for the last couple weeks.
00:10:08.000We're running up against this October 1st, September 30th deadline.
00:10:15.000Where Congress has to pass a stopgap bill that will fund the government for 30 days and in the meantime they need to pass like 12 big appropriations bills which they're not able to do and
00:10:33.000There's two battles going on, and there's one going on within the House, within the Republican majority in the House, and that's between Matt Gaetz, who is leading a block of up to 15 Freedom Caucus members that will not vote for anything.
00:10:54.000So they're just not, they simply are refusing to vote for any continuing resolution, no matter what's in it.
00:11:01.000And then there's a battle between the House and the Senate because once the House passes a bill then has to go to the Democrat Senate for approval.
00:11:13.000But there's no agreement between either of them.
00:11:16.000There's no agreement between Gates and McCarthy and there's no agreement between the version that McCarthy would pass
00:12:02.000And now the big sticking point between the House and Senate is $25 billion in new aid to Ukraine.
00:12:12.000And it looks like maybe they won't get it this time.
00:12:17.000And I'm starting to suspect that this is all just a big circus to indirectly wean Ukraine off of foreign aid because they're losing so badly.
00:12:28.000That seems to me to be what this government shutdown is actually about, is a big roundabout way of
00:12:41.000Winding down our support of Ukraine's counter offensive, which is just not happening.
00:12:48.000It's just failing So I'll talk about why I think that and I'm not a hundred percent.
00:12:53.000It's just a theory, you know I'm just I'm just thinking out loud.
00:12:59.000We'll also be talking tonight about this guy in Canada
00:13:04.000Apparently the Canadian Parliament invited some Ukrainian guy for a speech by Zelensky in their Parliament and it turns out they give this guy a round of applause.
00:13:17.000They say he's this war hero and he fought for Ukraine and it turns out he's a Nazi.
00:13:23.000It turns out he fought for the Nazis in World War II.
00:13:31.000All these Libfags in the Canadian Parliament, they think they're cheering on the hero fighting the fascists in Russia and he turns out to be a literal Nazi.
00:13:41.000Turns out to be a literal Nazi soldier.
00:14:06.000I have this burst of productivity for like a week, and then gradually my sleep schedule explodes.
00:14:14.000and I just have all these problems so so I'm tired I don't even get tell but like my eyes are tired I'm like I want to go to bed I'm out of soda so I couldn't even you know usually I usually drink a cup of coffee or
00:14:32.000Can of pop or something just a little pick-me-up but I have no sugar I have no sugar I have no caffeine I am defeated I am do not talk to me tonight do not talk to me until I've had my coffee which I haven't had yet so don't talk to me because I'm not in the mood I'm tired I want to go to bed
00:15:14.000Like hey, don't forget and like it's partially my fault because no one really knows how to access it because You can't get there from rumble and like I wasn't telling people about it.
00:15:26.000So it's like my fault but Still it's like hey, you're watching the five hours of content and everyone's drinking it up.
00:20:30.000But I just want somebody to kind of pick up after me and, you know, take care of the details like that.
00:20:37.000I just I'm getting frustrated with that man this doordash.
00:20:40.000It's another symptom of this dying country You know that's really that's gonna be the thing that kicks my ass into gear I do this show and I do this kind of thing mostly for fun But you start to mess with my doordash and then it's like okay.
00:20:54.000We got to turn the ship around We got to turn this whole ship around because this isn't working for me anymore and the crime
00:21:03.000is crazy lately in Chicago they're just doing these crime sprees now I don't know if you pay any attention to this but I think it was last night there were like eight robberies in an hour same group
00:21:19.000And they're all driving around across the whole city and suburbs, and they just go and they're like cowboys.
00:21:27.000They just go and rob somebody, and they drive to another person, rob them, drive to another person, rob them, and they got rifles now?
00:23:29.000Criminals can drive around in a Nissan Altima,
00:23:33.000with guns and they could go and you know see they see some woman walking down the street and they pop out a yo gimme yo shit bitch and they they point a loaded gun in her face a loaded rifle they jump back in the car and drive away they're good but if I'm walking but if I walk down the street with a rifle to protect myself oh you're in you're a criminal now
00:23:56.000If you don't have your license in order, if you don't have your concealed carry license in order or something, and you get caught with a gun, oh, you're in big trouble.
00:24:04.000If you try to, if you try to do any kind of vigilante thing, oh, you'd be royally screwed.
00:24:11.000You'd be screwed by the city, state, the Justice Department will come after you, you're done.
00:24:17.000So, and it goes with all of it, you know, it goes with that, it goes with money, like they have,
00:24:26.000Created this system where you are incentivized to become a psychomaniac and disincentivized to do anything the right way.
00:24:36.000You know, like cops can't do their jobs, citizens can't protect themselves, people who work get taxed, people that start businesses and make money get their money taken, and people that make no money get money.
00:24:49.000People that don't work receive benefits.
00:24:53.000And people that commit crimes, they get let off the hook!
00:24:56.000They don't get shot, they don't get chased.
00:25:00.000So what do you do in a situation like that?
00:25:02.000Like, you just... What do you do when your door dash shows up and they forget your fries?
00:26:27.000But anyway, before we get into our news, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Cozy, get a push notification whenever I go live.
00:27:02.000I'm gonna do those I think at least once a week from now on because it did great I got 5,000 plus viewers And it's already at 60,000 views.
00:27:12.000It's doing really well people love it So I think I'm gonna do those more often
00:29:38.000And I languish in the wilderness for a year with no platform.
00:29:45.000Two years until, you know, about six months ago.
00:29:52.000And then I come out on the other side two and a half years later in 2023 now that some other platform comes into existence Rumble is created and I go on there and boom front page 5,000 right where we left off
00:30:07.000It's a good feeling that that still happens and that's very, it's also very amusing to me because I remember a year ago there was another attempt made on me when people went out and said, oh his viewership's fake, his viewership's fake on Cozy.
00:30:59.000So I was very pleased with the numbers.
00:31:01.000I appreciate everybody watching and You know, we'll do some more casual streams.
00:31:06.000We'll see if people keep watching and I'll keep doing them So maybe I'll do another one later this week.
00:31:11.000I'd like to play Starfield and do some more commentary and Maybe we'll make it one or two times a week I don't want to over commit because I mean I struggle doing the show on time as it is, but Maybe I'll do one or two every week
00:31:25.000And see how it goes, because people love the stream today.
00:32:00.000If I just wasn't, if there wasn't just this like resistance, like deity level, like impossible difficulty, veteran mode, Iron Man, whatever.
00:32:12.000If I wasn't on that level of difficulty, dude, it would be all Groyper.
00:32:51.000I think I'm just going... what time is it?
00:32:53.000I think I might just skip the Nazi story because I don't really care about that.
00:32:57.000Yeah, I want to talk about... well, if we have time we'll do the Nazi story.
00:33:01.000I want to talk about the government shutdown, you know, because we've been talking about it for the last couple weeks or so and, you know, I'm not gonna go through the whole thing again.
00:33:14.000But I'll just explain the background briefly, just bring you up to speed last time on the government shutdown.
00:33:24.000September 30th, the government runs out of money.
00:33:29.000We need to pass 12 appropriations bills that will fund the government for like a year.
00:33:35.000But we don't really have enough time to negotiate that.
00:33:38.000So, what they're trying to do is pass what's called a Continuing Resolution, which will fund the government for a short amount of time so that we can figure out how we're going to fund the government for a year.
00:34:41.000But there are, like I said, up to 15 members in the Republican Party that will not allow anything to come to a vote, no matter what, because they say that Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, the Speaker, they say that he isn't asking for enough concessions.
00:34:58.000These appropriations battles are really the only time when one chamber can exert leverage over the other.
00:35:07.000Because most things that pass, they require 60 votes in the Senate, and they require the President's signature.
00:35:17.000So, the House, with its flimsy majority, I mean, they can barely get consensus in their own party.
00:35:29.000But, when you have these appropriations or fiscal showdowns like we had over the debt ceiling in May, or like we have over these big package spending bills like what's going on now, what's going on this week, these are the times when Republicans can play a game of chicken and they can extract concessions from a Democrat Senate or a Democrat President.
00:35:51.000So this is when you use your leverage and the House Freedom Caucus is saying we won our majority and yet we're not getting anything.
00:35:59.000We got nothing out of the last showdown.
00:36:02.000We've came very close to a government shutdown and actually a default on our debt back in May and June and we really got nothing in exchange for preventing that.
00:36:18.000And they didn't have to trade anything for Republicans to allow that to pass the House.
00:36:25.000So it's out of a frustration over that and other things that Freedom Caucus members are saying, look, we cannot give the Democrats what they want.
00:36:34.000We're not going to fund the government until we come to a negotiation where we actually get something out of it.
00:36:41.000And they're saying that what McCarthy wants to send to the Senate is not good enough.
00:36:46.000Now, there's a new story today about this, and it's very interesting because for a long time, what Republicans wanted from McCarthy, what concession they wanted to extract out of this process, was border security.
00:37:08.000Why do they not want to send a spending bill to the Senate to avert a shutdown?
00:37:13.000Because it doesn't have enough border security concessions.
00:37:16.000They said they wanted E-Verify, and they wanted a bill called H.R.
00:37:23.000And Republicans in the conference said that that was totally unrealistic, but, you know, then the Freedom Caucus said, well, we'll shut down the government.
00:37:32.000But that was initially the primary concession that the Freedom Caucus wanted.
00:37:37.000They said, we will not vote for anything.
00:37:50.000What's interesting is that now, over the course of the last two weeks, the conversation has changed.
00:37:57.000And now they're saying that the impasse between McCarthy and the Freedom Caucus is about Ukraine spending.
00:38:08.000They say that it's about 25 billion dollars in money for Ukraine.
00:38:14.000And the person who is leading the charge to do this bait-and-switch, where now it's no longer about border security, it's about Ukraine, is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:38:23.000Marjorie Taylor Greene, as you know, is McCarthy's puppet.
00:38:27.000Marjorie Taylor Greene was removed from the Freedom Caucus.
00:38:30.000She was kicked out because she betrayed their values by siding with the establishment, by siding with McCarthy.
00:38:37.000And it's been a battle between McCarthy and the Freedom Caucus ever since Republicans won the majority a year ago.
00:38:55.000It's between the Freedom Caucus and McCarthy.
00:38:58.000Because the Freedom Caucus says that McCarthy's an establishment shill, and he's not going to give the voters what they want, he's not going to solve the border, he's not going to impeach Biden, he's not going to do these things.
00:39:08.000And so they've had this very contentious
00:39:53.000She said, no, I don't want to bring it to the floor anymore.
00:39:56.000Now, all the other Republicans that are protesting this, remember, in the Freedom Caucus, they don't want this CR because it doesn't have border security.
00:40:06.000That's why they have been shutting it down.
00:40:09.000But on Thursday, Marjorie Greene, when she flipped her vote and voted against the resolution, she said, well, I changed my vote because it includes money for Ukraine and it can't have money for Ukraine.
00:40:25.000So the House Freedom Caucus doesn't want it because of border security.
00:40:29.000It doesn't have border security concessions.
00:40:31.000She doesn't want it because it has money for Ukraine.
00:40:35.000Now the Freedom Caucus have been opposed to McCarthy from the beginning.
00:40:38.000Marjorie has been with McCarthy from the beginning.
00:40:41.000And now she is apparently changing the rhetoric on this issue.
00:40:45.000And this is a story from the New York Times that says,
00:40:50.000With the House in chaos over its spending plans, Senators of both parties were deep in negotiations on Monday over efforts to head off a government shutdown this weekend through a stopgap measure and whether to include additional aid to Ukraine.
00:41:05.000People familiar with the talks said a major sticking point was whether to add up to $25 billion in new assistance to Ukraine to what is formally known as the Continuing Resolution.
00:41:17.000Some Republicans were arguing that including money for Ukraine would present an added complication in trying to provide Speaker McCarthy with a way out of the spending logjam.
00:41:27.000Senator Mitch McConnell, the minority leader, has been one of the staunchest backers of Ukraine on Capitol Hill and has joined with Democrats to pursue higher government spending levels than House Republicans.
00:41:43.000He and other Republicans are reluctant to put Mr. McCarthy in a difficult spot by pressing the Ukraine aid, an approach that could also give the Speaker a ready reason to reject the Senate overture.
00:41:56.000Some lawmakers have said that they could quickly pursue the Ukraine spending, aid for natural disaster recovery, and some new border security provisions in separate legislation once Congress deals with the immediate crisis of the potential shutdown.
00:42:11.000Which, by the way, that's always what they say.
00:42:12.000They always say, we could deal with that later.
00:42:17.000Even if the Senate is able to assemble and pass a temporary spending measure in the next few days, it's uncertain whether McCarthy would even bring the legislation to a vote.
00:42:27.000Doing so would be likely to provoke a formal challenge to his hold on the Speakership, presenting him with a choice between keeping the government open or igniting a fight for his job.
00:42:38.000So Mitch McConnell in the Senate is trying to put together a continuing resolution to send to the House.
00:42:44.000In other words, the House can't get its act together and send the Senate a continuing resolution because of this battle with Gates and the Freedom Caucus.
00:42:54.000So the Republicans in the Senate say, well, we'll pass a CR and we'll give it to you and you can pass it and maybe that'll make it easier.
00:43:01.000But Mitch McConnell, who supports spending for Ukraine and supports this aid package, says, well, maybe we won't put this in there because, you know, it's going to make McCarthy's job harder.
00:43:36.000And let's say, even hypothetically, that after some protracted negotiation this passes.
00:43:41.000Let's say the government shuts down for 8 days, and eventually they pass a CR that doesn't have money for Ukraine, and maybe a little for border security, but not HR2, not E-Verify.
00:43:54.000Then, what's the outcome of all of this?
00:45:18.000There was a statement made just last week by the Polish president who said that they will no longer give any money to Ukraine.
00:45:28.000And that's shocking because Poland, maybe more than any other country in NATO, opposes Russia, obviously, for historic reasons.
00:45:37.000Poland has an historic axe to grind with Russia.
00:45:41.000Poland is poised to become one of the most powerful countries in Europe and stand against Russia, and they were the first and strongest to condemn Russia's invasion.
00:45:53.000They, being at the center of the Cold War, or very near the center, I should say, but on the other side, as a Warsaw Pact country, they're very against Russia.
00:46:03.000So, in other words, nobody believes in the Ukraine cause more than Poland.
00:46:08.000Nobody believes in the anti-Russia cause more than Poland, and yet they pulled their aid.
00:46:53.000And if Poland is saying, we're not going to give any more money, then you know it's over because Poland has every reason to continue giving money.
00:47:18.000And this is a signal, because if you've been paying attention, and we've talked about this here and there on the show, there have been subtle signs that the United States is beginning to break with Ukraine.
00:47:30.000If you read the regime media, if you read like the New York Times, you could see very subtle signs over the course of the last few months that they're maybe getting ready to drop them.
00:47:41.000There's been reports about how the Ukrainian generals aren't doing what the Americans tell them to do in the New York Times, Washington Post.
00:47:51.000And that's a little signal that's being put out by the Pentagon that says, oh if they lose it's not our fault, it was them.
00:47:58.000It's a little signal they're seeding that out to the people to be prepared for when they abandon Ukraine.
00:48:05.000Now, maybe the United States is in a position where they're being asked for more money.
00:48:13.000You can't go for years and say, you know, we will never surrender, we will never let go, this is our Churchill moment, we're gonna beat, we're gonna win, we're gonna beat Russia, we're never gonna stop sending money.
00:48:25.000Now if you're Biden, and the war's lost, and Poland's out, and Sarkozy doesn't believe in it, he was in the French press talking about this, and our allies are shaken, their economy's in shambles, oil prices are too high,
00:48:39.000You know, you can't go and say, alright, never mind, we're not giving you any more money.
00:48:46.000What you can do is do this dog and pony show in Congress and say, oh hey, well, the Republicans, the Republicans shut it down.
00:48:57.000Matt Gaetz, this extremist, Matt Gaetz from the Freedom Caucus prevented the aid from going through.
00:49:01.000Marjorie Greene, this radical, prevented the aid from going through.
00:49:04.000Whoops, we don't have any more aid to give you.
00:50:20.000And here was the House Freedom Caucus trying to shut down the government to achieve E-Verify, which would allow these people to be sent home.
00:53:57.00060 Minutes did a report and said, well, we're paying for 57,000 first responders, and we're paying farmers, and we're paying... I mean, we're just subsidizing their society.
00:54:14.000So she was always in favor of the aid, and she was voting for all these appropriations bills until Tuesday, then she decided on Thursday, well now I don't want to give another dime to Ukraine, it's blood money.
00:59:07.000Even though our border is being overrun with 200,000 people every month.
00:59:12.000They're gonna say, okay, we heard you guys, we listened, we know we didn't get anything with the debt ceiling, but with the government shutdown, we finally got a big concession.
00:59:22.000This time we're NOT spending 25 billion dollars on Ukraine.
00:59:56.000So Biden wins, McCarthy wins, McConnell wins, and we all lose at the border.
01:00:04.000Every immigrant that comes here is a loss for every American.
01:00:08.000So we're just losing 12,000 times a day with that continuing.
01:00:15.000like with every every time this happens it's the same joke it's the same story you know trump shut down the government in january 18 and uh november december 18 through a couple months and there was almost a shutdown over the omnibus bill i think that was in 18 and
01:02:27.000Even from 16 to 18 when Republicans controlled all three, we still never got anything.
01:02:32.000They said we can't break the filibuster.
01:02:36.000Even though we control the House and the Senate and the White House, we need 60 votes in the Senate to break the filibuster.
01:02:43.000So we really are being beholden to like eight Democrats and a couple of moderate Republicans, like I think it was Manchin and one other one we couldn't count on.
01:03:01.000You know, somehow Democrats were just... 48 senators were able to dictate the whole agenda.
01:03:10.000And, you know, and also there's a provision in the Senate procedure that says that every year the Senate can originate one appropriations bill, I think this is it, with a simple majority.
01:03:27.000They can pass one appropriations bill with 51 votes.
01:03:34.000Because everything else basically requires 60 votes to break the filibuster.
01:03:39.000Honestly, I think it's there to create the situation that I'm describing.
01:03:44.000And so, for example, the Democrats used this to pass Obamacare.
01:03:48.000Democrats passed Obamacare without one Republican vote, and it was actually kind of interesting because, you know, they passed it in, I think, the House first, and then it went to the Senate, but then Ted Kennedy died, so then they lost their majority.
01:04:05.000So they had to repurpose some veterans bill and
01:04:10.000One that was already passed by the House.
01:04:13.000They had some really convoluted trick to get this thing done.
01:04:15.000I think that's how they did it back then.
01:04:18.000And Republicans used this rule in 2017 to repeal Obamacare, and John McCain shut it down.
01:04:24.000Republicans campaigned for six years to repeal Obamacare, and they finally had the majority in the House, Senate, and they had the presidency.
01:04:33.000And in 2017, they tried three times to repeal Obamacare.
01:04:37.000And the third time, when they thought they had it, they invoked that Senate procedural rule to get it with the simple majority, and John McCain said no.
01:05:35.000They're going to make it about Ukraine and I'm sure Biden and the Democrats went to them and this is this is McCarthy working with the White House.
01:05:44.000I feel like I just like have this hunch that that's what's going on that McCarthy
01:05:48.000is working with the White House, working with Greene, and what the White House wants, secretly, is to call off the aid, and that is going to help McCarthy beat Gates.
01:05:58.000And I think Biden has some interest in that.
01:06:00.000That's the real, that's the real deal.
01:06:02.000Biden's going to give something for McCarthy to make him look like a hero.
01:06:05.000He keeps the gavel, and McCarthy and McConnell take the aid, and they take that off Biden's plate.
01:06:11.000I feel you know maybe that's totally speculative that's admittedly kind of a shot in the dark but with the timing with Poland and everything else I feel like I feel like that's it but I guess we'll have to wait and see how it plays out but if I but if that's the outcome then I'm right if when all is said and done because they'll probably what Gates is signaling is that they'll shut down the government for a week which is a bitch-ass move
01:06:35.000What Gates said is, well, not all government shutdowns are the same.
01:06:40.000If we only shut down the government for six to eight days, then all the federal employees still get paid.
01:06:46.000In other words, nothing really happens.
01:06:53.000So I think when all is said and done, when this CR passes and when these appropriations bills pass, I think we'll have basically nothing on border security and I think maybe the Ukrainian aid will be reduced.
01:07:09.000I don't think... I think they're still going to get some money.
01:07:12.000I don't think... maybe they're not going to get $25 billion in the CR, but I think when all the appropriations bills pass, I think they will get something.
01:07:21.000And I think that is what Republicans are going to say is a concession.
01:08:34.000And also we had a really big one on Friday that I missed.
01:08:40.000Because I didn't do a show on Friday so I got to read it today.
01:08:43.000And I feel bad because it was just a massive super chat.
01:08:49.000From Friday, AT Drummond, for $1,000, thank you so much, he says, please explain to Groipers that being based in Redfield isn't enough to succeed.
01:09:16.000I apologize I didn't get this on Friday.
01:09:18.000You know, we had some technical difficulties with the back end on our lobby, so I really appreciate the big super chat and all the support of the show.
01:10:54.000You know, my father, he tells me how before he even had a driver's license, he would park cars and he worked in a garage and he learned about cars.
01:11:03.000And he wasn't, you know, he's not a mechanic, but he knows his way around a vehicle.
01:11:07.000Like, that's an example of a skill that just, that's just something they did.
01:11:12.000And, you know, I feel like our parents and grandparents thought I'd do a lot of basic stuff like that.
01:11:17.000Home improvement, cars, that kind of thing.
01:11:21.000Nowadays, people don't... people are utterly useless.
01:11:26.000They go to high school and they just fuck around.
01:11:28.000They take these classes and, you know...
01:11:33.000They don't even get a driver's license.
01:11:36.000That was the other part of the study is what a low percentage of teenagers even get their driver's license.
01:12:04.000you know software they don't learn how to do a lot of them they go and like I know a lot of guys that went to high school with me that took sports management in college really you know or they graduate with an IR degree or a degree in whatever stuff like that and they graduate and they don't know how to do anything
01:13:10.000I feel like that would give you a big leg up.
01:13:15.000or whatever else anything you're interested in you know those are just things that I those would be my go-to if I were that age but you got to learn how to do something because otherwise you're just a worthless piece of shit you don't deserve anything you know how could you be a man and not know how to do anything that's just like the opposite of a man so anyway but I appreciate the big super chat let's see what else do we have here
