00:01:26.000You know one thing that's never been worth zero?
00:01:35.000Alrighty, so the most trusted name in news has now, at long last, suspended Chris Cuomo.
00:01:41.000And what's weird about the suspension of Chris Cuomo is it's not like we didn't know this stuff.
00:01:45.000We've known for months and months and months that Chris Cuomo was basically advising his brother while simultaneously covering his brother on television with regard to COVID.
00:01:52.000Again, we got the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour with the governor, the LoveGov.
00:01:56.000He literally called him his own brother, the LoveGov, on national TV while his brother was shipping COVID-positive elderly people back into nursing homes, killing all of them, and then suggesting that they had not died, or at least if they had died, they had not died inside nursing homes.
00:02:09.000Underestimating the number of nursing home deaths by thousands in the state of New York.
00:02:13.000He was not ousted from that position because he had killed all the old people in New York.
00:02:17.000He was ousted from his position as governor because Letitia James, the very aggressive attorney general who had her eye on his gubernatorial mansion, decided to issue a report without a prosecution suggesting that he likes to play grab ass with every woman within a 32-mile radius.
00:02:31.000And Chris Cuomo was trying to help his brother cover that up, track down some of the women who were making the accusations, spin the media on his behalf.
00:02:39.000So there were new revelations that came out on this. Thanks again to Letitia James, whose unbridled ability to simply throw out chum in order to smear the guy so she can grab a seat.
00:03:26.000Jim Acosta is your White House reporter.
00:03:29.000I'm pretty sure that our trust in CNN was relatively gone by the time we got to Chris Cuomo hanging out with his bro.
00:03:36.000But you have to at least maintain appearances over at CNN.
00:03:39.000And so now, CNN has suspended Cuomo over new details that were revealed this week about the amounts of help he allegedly provided to his brother.
00:03:45.000They pretended these were all new revelations.
00:03:48.000Here is CNN releasing its statement via Anderson Cooper, the wolf husky, who appears on that network nightly.
00:03:54.000Here's a statement released tonight from a CNN spokesperson, quote, The New York Attorney General's Office released transcripts and exhibits Monday that shed new light on Chris Cuomo's involvement in his brother's defense.
00:04:05.000The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions.
00:04:10.000The spokesperson continued, quote, when Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother's staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledge that publicly.
00:04:18.000But we also appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second.
00:04:24.000However, these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother's efforts than we previously knew, the spokesperson added.
00:04:31.000As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely pending further evaluation.
00:04:58.000One of the general principles is you can fight against the other party.
00:05:01.000You can fight against the media, but only if you have your party.
00:05:04.000Andrew had his party enforcing a rule against him that if you have accusations, you have problems.
00:05:07.000You don't really get to vet the accusations.
00:05:10.000You don't get to go against your accusers.
00:05:12.000And Chris Cuomo said that his brother's resignation was forced in part because he had Republicans hating him and because the media never really liked him.
00:06:16.000So yeah, he didn't commit a crime, so I guess it's okay now or something.
00:06:20.000Remember, CNN spends every waking moment watching Fox News and covering the media malfeasance on Fox News.
00:06:25.000So I wonder if last night they covered Fox News covering CNN completely imploding over Chris Cuomo, who again, they put on the air covering his own brother for like months and months and months in the middle of a pandemic where his brother was completely botching it in the state with the biggest outbreak in the country at the time.

00:07:52.000All righty, so again, the level of systemic distrust that we have in the media is well justified at this point.
00:08:05.000Jason Reilly has a good piece over at the Wall Street Journal talking about how the media has suddenly discovered colorblindness again when it comes to walk-a-shop.
00:08:12.000He says, in the aftermath of George Floyd's death last year, employers offered black workers time off to deal with the news.
00:08:17.000UCLA suspended a professor who refused to grade his supposedly traumatized black students more leniently than their non-black peers.
00:08:24.000Such gestures may have been well-meaning, but they were also nonsensical and reeked of condescension.
00:08:28.000Are black psyches really this fragile?
00:08:30.000Are blacks so starved for exemplars that miscreants must be treated like martyrs?
00:08:34.000Should Floyd's death matter more to them than the huge number of black homicides that don't involve police?
00:08:38.000And why would people who aren't black Be any less disturbed by a video showing a police officer kneeling on the neck of a defenseless suspect for nine minutes.
00:08:45.000The protests that followed Floyd's death rested on two assumptions.
00:08:48.000The first is that Floyd, a career criminal and drug addict, was somehow representative of Black America, which is not only false, but deeply insulting.
00:08:54.000The second, says Jason Reilly, is that police acted out of racial animus, which has never been proven.
00:08:59.000This is what happens when racial identity becomes the centerpiece of politics and public life in a multiracial democracy.
00:09:05.000The political left often pretends to pine for a post-racial America, but that's the last thing it really wants.
00:09:10.000People who are interested in a post-racial America don't name their organization Black Lives Matter or welcome racial propaganda like the 1619 Project into elementary schools.
00:09:21.000They don't call for white people who are never slaveholders to pay reparations to black people who are never slaves.
00:09:26.000The Biden administration, says Jason Reilly, has picked up where Obama left off.
00:09:29.000The unwarranted racialization of the Kyle Rittenhouse saga, which concerned one white man shooting three other white people, was a clumsy attempt by President Biden and his allies to further a narrative about bias in the criminal justice system.
00:09:41.000The same press outlets that portrayed Rittenhouse as a white supremacist have had remarkably little to say about the racial identity of Daryl Brooks, the black suspect in Wisconsin who was accused of plowing his car through an annual Christmas parade last month and killing six people, including an eight-year-old boy, all of whom were white.
00:09:55.000Given the suspect's history of posting messages on social media that called for violence against white people and praised Hitler for killing Jews, you'd think his race and the race of his victims would be relevant to reporters.
00:10:04.000Race is all anybody would be talking about if a white man had slammed his vehicle into a parade full of black people.
00:10:09.000Yet suddenly, the left has gone colorblind.
00:10:12.000Liberals want us to believe that racial disparities in police shootings and incarceration rates stem from a bias system and have little to do with racial disparities in criminality.
00:10:19.000They want to talk about so-called hate crimes that involve white assailants and black victims, but not those involving black assailants and white or Asian victims.
00:10:25.000They want headlines to read, white cop shoots black suspect, even when there's no evidence the encounter was racially motivated.
00:11:34.000And the Karen isn't actually a Karen, it's just a lady who is walking her dog in Central Park or something.
00:11:39.000And then calls the police because a guy is acting weird and threatening.
00:11:42.000But some of these videos actually are kind of relevant.
00:11:45.000But according to the Wall Street Journal, Twitter said users will no longer be able to share private media such as photos and videos of another person without their permission.
00:11:53.000Twitter said the misuse of private media can affect everyone.
00:11:56.000It can have a disproportionate effect on women, activists, dissidents, and members of minority communities.
00:12:01.000So now we are now to believe that the widespread dissemination of videos that are newsworthy must be suppressed on behalf of women, activists, dissidents, and members of minority communities.
00:12:15.000This is not an unbiased free exchange of ideas public town hall.
00:12:22.000Now it is just the elites at Twitter deciding what you should and should not see.
00:12:27.000Twitter said it can take enforcement action when private media is posted without the consent of someone included in it.
00:12:32.000It said the change is part of its work to align its safety policies with human rights standards and better prevent so-called doxxing the publishing of private information with malicious intent.
00:12:40.000But this policy seems to be too broad.
00:12:44.000Now, they are saying that the policy wouldn't apply to images or videos taken from large public events, like sporting events or protests, but how much newsworthy stuff happens that's not a sporting event or protest?
00:12:55.000Emerson Brookings, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, tweeted it's basically an anti-doxing rule, which is fine, but it's written so broadly, most anyone can lodge a complaint against anybody.
00:13:06.000So, should you be concerned about the bottlenecking of information?
00:13:10.000Especially because, again, all this does is it just means whoever has the biggest loudspeaker is the person who wins.
00:13:16.000And if you control who can use that loudspeaker, it makes it very difficult to challenge the legacy media's narratives, which sort of seems to be the point.
00:13:22.000Meanwhile, the media doing their best to rehabilitate the Biden administration, So the New York Times published a piece, I'm not kidding, called Jill Biden's White House Christmas Looks Very Normal.
00:13:34.000You won't find any blood red trees this year.
00:13:36.000This is the important stuff according to the media because remember that Melania Trump had put up some red trees and this of course was it showed that she was basically a child of the devil because of course the devil likes red and the Christmas trees were red and this means that she's very very bad but Jill Biden Who is a doctor, let me tell you.
00:13:53.000She has put up regular Christmas trees and this means that she is an amazing person.
00:13:57.000According to the New York Times, gone are the blood red trees, gone are the icy sparkling boughs and the imagery of a woman isolated in a winter wonderland or horror story Depending on your point of view.
00:14:08.000In their place, white and red striped knit stockings with green heels dangling brightly from a hearth, family photos, handwritten thank you notes, and an arch of presents in bright red boxes.
00:14:18.000The Biden White House Christmas decor unveiled on Monday isn't nearly as stylized or surreal as the Trump-endorsed looks that preceded them.
00:14:25.000Oh, it's plenty cheerful and sparkly, but in the context of recent White House holiday styles, it's positively Accessible?
00:14:31.000They're people of the people, don't you see?
00:14:39.000And her stylistic choices are a return to normalcy as opposed to the evil Trumps.
00:14:44.000Remember when we had a booming economy and pretty much everybody was free to do what they wanted without masks and vaccine mandates and all that?
00:14:52.000Yeah, that was bad because there were red Christmas trees.
00:14:54.000Now there are green Christmas trees and everything is great.
00:14:59.000According to the New York Times, in this, the White House is fully in line with the tactile, unpretentious image that the current first couple likes to project.
00:15:08.000When I think about Jill and Joe Biden, I think about accessible people who are definitely people of the people, not People who got very wealthy off their political background and or sending their bagman hunter to trot around the globe picking up cash.
00:15:31.000I swear to God, I had not read that line, and now I just did, in the New York Times.
00:15:34.000The President and First Lady, just like us, their home is your home, only a little more so.
00:15:40.000It did, after all, require 6,000 feet of ribbon, over 300 candles, more than 10,000 ornaments, and about 78,750 holiday lights to dress the White House for the holidays, according to the Office of the First Lady.
00:15:50.000That may sound extravagant, but like Dr. Jill Biden herself, I'm never going to get over the fact that the media acquiesce to Jill Biden's demand that they call her Dr. Jill based on her doctorate in education.
00:16:04.000Can you imagine if Melania Trump had said, I need you to call me by X title, and the title was just something that had nothing to do with the actual role of, say, a doctor?
00:16:14.000You think the media would have gone along with that?
00:16:18.000Is that something they liked to do with Dr. Gorka?
00:16:22.000But now it's like, oh, you know, Jill Biden insists we call her doctor, even though, man, if you're having a heart attack and Jill Biden approaches you, To give you a community college lecture, you are in serious trouble, my friend.
00:16:34.000I love how they just go right along with it.
00:16:35.000The propaganda, the Pravda wing of the Democratic Party here.
00:16:40.000The New York Times says, that may sound extravagant, but like Dr. Jill Biden herself, whose unofficial job it is to oversee the declaration, the effect was rather homey.
00:16:47.000Social media categorized it as normal.
00:16:49.000Whether the response was complimentary or pejorative, it nodded to part of her husband's campaign self.
00:16:54.000A return to normalcy after the turbulence and extremes of the Trump years.
00:16:58.000Since his election, it's been an underlying theme, a foundational element of Build Back Better.
00:17:02.000For the holidays, it's gifts from the heart.
00:17:07.000That's why Christmas at the White House is such a useful moment of pageantry, says the New York Times, especially at a time when the usual communicative ceremonies of office, state dinners, White House tours are on hold.
00:17:17.000I love the fact that they're telling you the substitute for things being normal, which they totally are, by the way, in large swaths of the country.
00:17:27.000We ain't running things like Joe Biden's White House.
00:17:29.000But up at the White House, everything is closed, and Joe Biden is still masking up occasionally in front of the cameras to demonstrate that he loves masks and then taking off cameras when he's actually not in camera view, he thinks.
00:17:40.000But things are very abnormal there, but at least we have the look of normalcy inside the White House, says the New York Times.
00:17:46.000Dr. Biden's office said she had been working on the decorations since late May.
00:18:48.000It's why Melania Trump's choices caused so much controversy.
00:18:51.000Some, especially late-night TV hosts, found her alley of unnatural trees alienating.
00:18:56.000Others saw them as aspirational, if unachievable.
00:18:58.000And it's why the fact that the Biden look is so unremarkable is itself worth remarking on, apparently over the course of several thousand words.
00:19:04.000It's a hard balancing act to pull off, walking the fine line between fancy and folksy, between representing the Republic to the most polished degree and relating to the Republic, not just politically, but visually.
00:19:14.000Yet it's a look that has come to define Dr. Biden's style.
00:19:19.000As a person who has a wife, who went through medical school, I'm just gonna say it drives me up a wall.
00:19:27.000They keep calling her Dr. Biden over and over and over in this article.
00:19:30.000They've called her Dr. Biden more than I call my wife a doctor on this show, which is a hell of a lot.
00:19:34.000The difference is my wife's an actual f***ing doctor.
00:19:38.000It's a look that has come to define Dr. Biden's style, which can pretty much be summed up in the dress she wore to her Christmas hostess duties.
00:19:44.000A short-sleeved, full-skirted, forest green, Oscar de la Renta number splashed with white magnolias.
00:20:03.000Okay, we do well in my family, my wife being an actual doctor and all, and my wife has never worn a $4,000 dress unless we were talking about like her wedding.
00:20:14.000And I'm pretty sure her wedding dress did not cost $4,000.
00:20:16.000So she's just what, people of the people here.
00:20:19.000They're, they're just, these are, the media are working overtime to try and spin and massage this administration into something worthwhile and they're having a hard time doing it.
00:20:28.000But again, this is why When Chris Cuomo gets suspended at CNN, it's like, OK, what about all the rest of you?
00:20:47.000Like them, Dr. Biden understands the decoration of her house, of her person, is a tool at her disposal.
00:20:51.000But unlike them, she's using it to normalize what is, by any account, an abnormal time.
00:20:56.000Just like the way she's using tinsel and turtle doves.
00:20:59.000They are secular expressions of the faith, family, and friendship described in the welcome letter of the commemorative 2021 White House Holiday Guide.
00:21:06.000Everyday examples of the things, sometimes as simple as favorite shirt dresses and poinsettias.
00:21:12.000Yes, nothing unites us like spending six months planning Christmas decorations while people can't get actual gifts for their kids for Christmas because of your supply chain crisis, can't pay for gas at the pump, are suffering from another round of COVID lockdowns.
00:21:27.000But here's the thing, it's a return to normalcy because Dr. Joe Biden, the greatest of all doctors other than Dr. J, She has a $3,900 Oscar de la Renta dress, so she is a woman of the people.
00:21:41.000None of this is going to play with the American public.
00:21:43.000You can try to massage this into reality, media, but you're going to have a real problem because people are still feeling the fact that the country is in serious and dire trouble.
00:22:17.000I'm not saying this is far from mission accomplished.
00:22:20.000We still have too many people dying from COVID.
00:22:22.000We still have problems with inflation, prices, gas prices.
00:22:26.000We have a lot of work to do on both fronts, but we have made significant progress already, and we're going to make a lot more progress in the months ahead.
00:22:35.000So what we've got right now is the media attempting to spin the Biden administration back into the realm of normalcy and completely failing at it.
00:22:43.000And the way that they're going to try and spin the Biden administration back into normalcy is not the only way that you possibly could, which is, Joe, take your hands off the steering wheel.
00:22:51.000Like really, your hands on the steering wheel are worse than no hands on the steering wheel.
00:23:24.000The only crisis we see is at the pump.
00:23:26.000The only crisis we see is in the supply chains.
00:23:28.000The only crisis that we see is not enough people getting back into the workforce, all of which are the direct results of Joe Biden policies.
00:23:34.000But when it comes to, like, everyday life?
00:23:48.000We're all back to normal, and we don't care what Joe Biden has to say about it.
00:23:52.000But because the media are invested not only in Joe Biden as a president, they don't care about Biden per se, because they're invested in a picture of top-down elite control solving all of your problems, they have to, every solution is a top-down elite control solution.
00:24:06.000Which is why, as Omicron supposedly threatens the globe, you're having media members who are coming out and saying, I want top-down control, more top-down control.
00:24:16.000Last night, for example, on CNBC, Jim Cramer started ranting about how Joe Biden should force every person in the United States to get vaccinated.
00:24:34.000The government must require vaccinations, not of this group or that group, not company by company, not cruise ship by cruise ship, or airline by airline, or governor by governor.
00:25:08.000It started in, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, South Africa.
00:25:11.000Which, as it turns out, is quite far away from the United States, where they have a vaccination rate of something like 27%.
00:25:16.000There are vast swaths of Earth right now where people don't have the vaccine.
00:25:20.000In fact, one of the controversies over the booster is why we are boosting 18-year-olds when we could actually be using those doses to vaccinate people in the third world.
00:25:29.000And by the way, all of this panic is completely overwrought.
00:26:12.000Nothing I have seen about this new variant warrants the extreme action the UK government has taken in response to it.
00:26:18.000No one in South Africa is known to have been hospitalized with Omicron, nor is anyone here believed to have been fallen seriously ill with it.
00:26:35.000She says, yet Britain and other European nations have reacted with heavy travel restrictions on flights from across southern Africa, as well as imposing tighter rules at home on mask wearing fines and quarantines.
00:26:44.000The simple truth is we don't know anywhere near enough about Omicron to make such judgments or to impose such policies.
00:26:50.000We've been accustomed here to new COVID variants.
00:26:53.000So when our scientists discovered yet another, nobody made a huge thing of it.
00:27:16.000Okay, there are indications that individuals fully vaccinated against Corona within six months or with the booster are also protected against Omicron, according to Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz.
00:27:27.000Another two cases were identified in Israel, bringing the total caseload to four.
00:27:30.000By the way, they've not released data so far on whether if you've had two doses, you're also safe.
00:27:36.000If you are young and you've had two doses, generally speaking against Delta, for example, the booster only very, very mildly increases your protection against the virus in terms of hospitalization and death.
00:27:47.000It increases your non-infection rate, but you weren't going to die or get hospitalized anyway.
00:27:53.000If you had two doses in your 20, you're pretty much good to go.
00:27:57.000And there's no evidence to suggest that Omicron is somehow so much more deadly or hospital worthy than Delta when it comes to people who have had two doses and who are young.
00:28:06.000If you're over 60, you should have gotten boosted anyway.
00:28:09.000If you're under 40, you should probably get the vaccine.
00:28:13.000If you are between the ages of like 18 and 40, if you're like five.
00:28:20.000Okay, but again, Omicron is not the issue here.
00:28:22.000The issue here is when you have a problem in the world and you have suggested, it's your own damn fault, when you guys keep suggesting over and over, you have the solutions, and then it turns out you can't solve the problem, you've made a George H.W.
00:28:34.000Bush, read my lips, no new taxes pledge, except about everything.
00:28:39.000You've done, read my lips, no new lockdowns, read my lips, no new mandates, read my lips, no new disease, read my lips, economic recovery.
00:28:46.000You're not making any of those things happen, my friends.
00:28:49.000And no matter how much the media try to spin in favor of you having more control, we don't want to give you more control because you're a failure.
00:28:56.000Right now, the United States is weighing stricter coronavirus testing for all travelers to the United States, including, by the way, people who test negative.
00:29:05.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:29:07.000First, let's talk about your sleep quality.
00:29:10.000So, when I hop on my mattress at night, I want to be able to sleep.
00:29:26.000It's the material that's made from that matters.
00:29:27.000Bull & Branch knows this, which is why they make the best sheets on planet Earth.
00:29:31.000When you shop Bull & Branch during Cyber Week, You're supporting a family-run business that crafts the highest-quality, toxin-free, pure organic cotton sheets.
00:29:39.000In fact, Bowen Branch was the first Fairtrade-certified bedding brand, and they give fair pay to every one of their farmers and factory workers.
00:30:29.000Okay, so you've got CNBC's Jim Cramer calling for the authoritarian notion that we are going to force every person in the United States to vax.
00:32:21.000So I've been on Zoom calls with the leaders of the South African public health system.
00:32:25.000They're worried that that may have been a premature declaration of mildness of the illness because most of the early cases were in college students who tend not to get very sick anyway.
00:32:35.000So let's hold off on that before concluding that this is not a virus that can cause people to get sick enough to be in the hospital.
00:32:42.000Okay, I just want to pause for a moment on the fact that he says college students don't really get sick from this.
00:32:50.000Because I've been told that we're not allowed to say that, even though that's 100% true.
00:32:55.000So he's saying we need to worry more, worry more.
00:32:57.000The Biden administration is worrying more because, again, they have to keep that implicit promise that they can control all bad things in life.
00:33:03.000According to the Washington Post, the Biden administration is preparing stricter testing requirements for all travelers entering the United States, including returning Americans, to curb the spread of potentially dangerous Omicron, according to three federal health officials, as part of an enhanced winter COVID strategy.
00:33:19.000It's like pumpkin spice latte or something.
00:33:23.000So if you go abroad as an American, they will force you to get a test, even if you're vaxxed.
00:33:26.000everyone entering the country to be tested one day before boarding flights regardless of Vax status or country of departure. So if you go abroad as an American they will force you to get a test even if you're vaxed and by the way even if you come up negative they're gonna force you to quarantine.
00:33:43.000Administration officials are considering a requirement that all travelers get retested within three to five days of arrival and it would require all travelers including US.
00:33:54.000citizens, to self-quarantine for seven days, even if their results are negative.
00:33:59.000And if you flat the requirements, you would be subject to fines and penalties.
00:34:03.000So if you are an American and you travel abroad for business, you have to get tested before you get back on the plane.
00:34:08.000If you end up positive, you can't get on the plane.
00:34:10.000If you end up negative, they will still force you to quarantine when you come back into the United States for seven days after getting the vaccine.
00:34:17.000And this is their way of doing what exactly?
00:34:57.000Virtually all Americans who are not living under the thumb of blue governments are ready to go back to real life and already have, months ago.
00:35:04.000My family and I, we've been living free and easy here in the state of Florida since we moved here.
00:35:54.000You think I'm, like, anxious to jab my one-and-a-half-year-old with a COVID vaccine that has not been sufficiently tested on small children, that has no longitudinal data whatsoever to prevent my tiny baby from getting a disease that will do nothing to her by the stats?
00:36:16.000They find a couple of anecdotes of paranoid crazies, and they're like, these people have been desperately waiting for a vaccine, and until these people can get vaccinated, you must mask up, and your children must mask up, and we must all panic.
00:36:27.000According to Lindsey Bever at the Washington Post, even with the recent authorization of a COVID vaccine for children aged 5 to 11, many parents and grandparents are still in limbo, anxiously awaiting shots for younger children.
00:36:38.000When's the last time in human history, seriously, that parents and grandparents were like, you know what we have to do?
00:36:43.000We have to jab our babies to protect us.
00:36:57.000Although children are less likely to suffer disease, says the Washington Post, they can still contract and transmit the virus to others.
00:37:04.000Those who test positive must quarantine, and children may even have to stay home from daycare or preschool when their classmates become ill after exposure to the virus.
00:37:11.000This forces parents to find alternative child care or take time off from work to care for them, which some families say has become common.
00:37:47.000Because you got a bunch of paranoid parents who will talk to the Washington Post.
00:37:51.000Diana Joaquim, a 31-year-old in Columbus, Ohio and mother of a 2-year-old said, quote, It's nice that 5 to 11-year-olds have this option, but we're just sort of sitting here and twiddling our thumbs and thinking, when are we going to be protected?
00:38:01.000When can we keep our son safe and ourselves safe?
00:38:28.000I believe that the central governments of the world should not have the sole ability to define the worth of your money, which is what they can do with centralized currencies.
00:38:37.000And a hedge against that is crypto, which again is independent of the central banks.
00:38:41.000With an Alto Crypto IRA, you can trade crypto like Bitcoin and avoid or defer the taxes.
00:39:57.000It's an exhilarating, inspiring tale of a young boy who pretends he's a walrus.
00:40:01.000It's all pretend until mommy and her yoga class begin to believe that perhaps Johnny is a walrus.
00:40:08.000And his mom starts to believe she has to uphold his trans walrus identity.
00:40:11.000If you know mass brain, you will, um, laugh.
00:40:15.000hysterically reading this to your kids, or not to your kids, or handing it to a relative who needs to know about the struggles of those with a trans walrus identity.

00:41:18.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:41:22.000All righty, so meanwhile, the media, which again, they have a vested interest in the idea that the government solves all of your problems.
00:41:32.000They are fighting mad that there are members of the government who actually would like the government to butt out of your business.
00:41:37.000So right now, the Republicans are considering the possibility of pushing the Democrats to get rid of the VAX mandate in order so they can pass their new debt ceiling increase.
00:41:48.000Hey, this is a good idea because frankly, Democrats need to have their feet held to the fire on this.
00:41:52.000The Democrats have been embracing these VAX mandates via OSHA.
00:41:55.000They've not been forced to a vote on it yet.
00:41:57.000And so the Democrats who had like pretty much six weeks to figure out this whole reconciliation debt ceiling thing, and then they just didn't do it.
00:42:05.000They waited until the last minute, again.
00:42:25.000Capitalizing on a last minute scramble to fund the government, a group of Senate conservatives is planning to object to quick consideration of a stopgap measure to extend funding into early 2022, unless Democratic leaders agree to deny money to enforce the mandate.
00:42:37.000Because of the tight schedule and Senate rules that require unanimous consent to move quickly, the Senators believe they will be able to drag out the process well past midnight Friday when funding officially expires.
00:42:49.000Full disclosure, I'm friendly with Senator Lee because he's a terrific senator, because I'm sure we would all like to simplify the process for resolving the CR, but I can't facilitate that without addressing the VAX mandates.
00:42:58.000Given that federal courts across the country have raised serious issues with these mandates, it's not unreasonable for my Democratic colleagues to delay enforcement of the mandates for at least the length of the continuing resolution.
00:43:09.000It's unclear how many Senate conservatives are willing to follow through on the shutdown threat, but apparently, 15 Republicans have signed a letter spearheaded by Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas in early November, vowing to use all means at our disposal to block passage of a continuing resolution that doesn't stop implementation of a VAX mandate.
00:43:40.000Republicans gave them another, another stay of execution.
00:43:44.000And then Mitch McConnell said, we're not doing this again.
00:43:47.000And Democrats were like, well, what if we just push it to the last minute again?
00:43:49.000The strategy, according to Politico, means the government will likely shut down for several days, even if appropriators strike a bipartisan agreement to extend funding by the end A Senate Democratic leadership staffer told Playbook, without an agreement to truncate the timeline, the Senate would need at least five days to process the continuing resolution.
00:44:07.000That would mean a brief shutdown ending Sunday at the earliest, but possibly dragging into next week if a deal is not reached today.
00:44:13.000Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared to nod to the possibility of trouble, seeking to preemptively blame the GOP.
00:44:21.000Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell predicted Tuesday we won't shut down, arguing, quote, nobody should be concerned about a government shutdown.
00:44:28.000The issue came up in the Senate GOP lunch on Tuesday.
00:45:10.000Aren't all members of Congress, folks, come on members of Congress, aren't you embarrassed by the silliness of this debt limit thing that we go through, this shenanigan?
00:47:21.000Because frankly, we here at The Daily Wire, we are happy to eat your lunch as more and more people continue to look elsewhere for better sources of news.
00:47:29.000Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.
