Today we begin the beginning of the end for one Charles Schumer's political career, as the Democratic base is in an unhinged uproar, and the childish elitist folks on Blue Sky are absolutely going berserk.
00:09:07.100uh what it does first of all is it raises health care premiums for over 20 million americans by doubling
00:09:16.100and in some cases tripling or quadrupling people can't afford that when we are already paying the highest prices in the world for health care
00:09:23.600number two it paves the way for 15 million people to be thrown off of medicating
00:09:28.980the affordable care act studies show that will mean that some 50 000 americans will die every
00:09:34.360year unnecessarily and all of that was done
00:09:39.740to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the one percent as everybody knows just on tuesday we had an election all over this country and what the election showed is that the american people want us to stand up to trumpism to his war against working-class people to his authoritarianism that is what the american people wanted but tonight that is not what happened
00:09:50.740so we've got to go forward to the best that we can to try to protect working-class people to make sure that the united states
00:09:56.120to make sure that the united states not only does not throw people off of health care but ends the absurdity of being the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all the people that are trying to protect working-class people
00:10:07.120To try to protect working class people, to make sure that the United States not only does not throw people off of health care, but ends the absurdity of being the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all people.
00:10:21.420We have a lot of work to do. But to be honest with you, tonight was not a good night. Thank you.
00:10:28.860Do you realize everything he said in that was a lie?
00:10:31.980The millions of people being thrown off of health care, health care premiums.
00:10:40.840That was all made possible because of Obamacare.
00:10:44.540The man is just an absolute blatant liar.
00:10:49.300I mean, it's so sick and nobody calls him out on it.
00:11:37.100If you're joining us on audio, please be sure to give us five stars and leave us a good comment.
00:11:43.220So, as I said, folks, the Marxist purge is continuing.
00:11:48.420Another Democrat representing announcing their retirement after Pelosi calling it quits.
00:11:53.200Marxist Dem, Bonnie Watson Coleman, announced this afternoon she wouldn't be running for re-election in 2026.
00:11:59.520She was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2015.
00:12:02.740The 80-year-old Democrat served over 50 years in public service in New Jersey.
00:12:06.860Obviously, Watson Coleman was one of the New Jersey Democrats who stormed the detention center earlier this year to protest ICE.
00:12:15.160So, now she's going to be heading off into the sunset to let another Marxist take over to continue to destroy the Marxist Democrat Party.
00:12:23.740So, folks, some of the people, one of the, some of the eight people who voted in favor of keeping this government, ending this government shutdown or reopening, the government was Dick Turbin, who will not be seeking re-election, had this to say for his Marxist Dem counterparts.
00:12:41.960After lengthy negotiations, an agreement was reached with the Republican Senate leader, John Thunen.
00:12:47.900We will agree to open the government until January 30th, 2026.
00:12:54.740During that time, we will pass three bipartisan appropriation bills that will fully fund SNAP, WIC, and all the veterans programs and finish our work on the remaining spending bills for this fiscal year.
00:13:09.060The agreement would also reverse the Trump administration's mass firing during the shutdown and prevent future ones through January 30th.
00:13:18.880We credit Senator Kaine of Virginia for this provision.
00:13:23.600Leader Thun has also promised the Democrats an opportunity before mid-December to present a Democratic bill on the floor with proposals to change the law and protect American families from dramatic health care premium increases.
00:13:38.040It is my fervent hope that this ends up being a bipartisan effort.
00:13:43.020It would be such an achievement of the Senate to finally return to that status.
00:13:48.540I've served in the Senate for 29 years, and I've never seen that kind of offer from a Senate majority.
00:13:56.340During the historic roll call last night, I walked across the aisle and met with Senator John Thun, the Republican leader.
00:14:04.180I told him that I was counting on him to keep his word on this agreement.
00:14:29.220They think we should have kept our government closed indefinitely to protest the policies of the Trump administration.
00:14:35.940I share their opinions of this administration, but cannot accept a strategy which wages political battle at the expense of my neighbor's paycheck or the food for his children.
00:14:48.640So, Durbin pretty much admitting that it was, I mean, it was all just political the whole time, which we knew, but now they're admitting it out loud.
00:14:59.480It's just weird that they come to this conclusion now.
00:15:02.560The interesting part about this whole thing will be some of those eight, like I said, Durbin not running for re-election, but some of those eight who may vote with the Republicans more.
00:15:13.700Because clearly the Dems are going to, I mean, the Marxist wing of the party are absolutely going to alienate Durbin, alienate, you know, the seven other ones, August King,
00:15:27.920Cortez Mastro and the rest of them for voting with the Republicans.
00:15:36.440Now, Bernie Sanders, we use him here as a staple all the time because he's the one who really started this entire thing, you know, with his backing of AOC, going on a hate-filled tirade last night.
00:15:50.360He always talks about health care, but I don't think the man knows what the hell he's talking about.
00:15:55.420This was just moments after they voted last night.
00:15:58.100I think it is important that the American people fully understand what is being voted on today.
00:16:06.440Everybody in America knows that our current health care system is broken, it is dysfunctional, it is cruel, it is by far the most expensive health care system in the world,
00:16:18.880and the only health care system of any major country that does not guarantee health care to all people as a human right, covering every man, woman, and child.
00:17:33.380Our job is to create universal health care.
00:17:37.160Guarantee health care to every man, woman, and child.
00:17:39.840Not throw 15 million people off the health care that have low-income and working-class people.
00:17:46.240And, my friends, know what you are voting on.
00:17:49.420Studies are out there that when you throw 15 million people off of health care, some 50,000 of our fellow Americans will die unnecessarily every single year.
00:18:12.520Now, I know as part of this resolution that the majority leader is going to say, well, Democrats can create, put together their own bill, and it will come to the floor here in the Senate for a vote.
00:18:25.160As everybody here knows, that is a totally meaningless gesture.
00:18:30.000You can get 100 votes here in the Senate.
00:18:32.340Won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.
00:18:35.920And the President of the United States certainly will not sign it.
00:18:52.140I mean, everything out of the man's mouth is a total lie.
00:18:55.240But this is the direction that they want to go in.
00:18:58.960Now, let's take a listen to one of these Democrats who voted in favor, Angus King, from Maine, who's an independent caucusing with the Democrats.
00:19:33.240Maybe August King woke up to the fact about what happens to some of these people that you're not paying, including the air traffic controllers.
00:19:42.680I don't want to land at an airport in the United States with a with a sleepy air traffic controller because they're working double shifts.
00:19:52.640So the any good general, if the strategy isn't working, you change tactics and particularly you change tactics if your own troops are at risk.
00:20:07.240There was collateral damage to the American people.
00:20:10.080At the same time, the goal wasn't being achieved.
00:20:14.320So we're going to change we're going to change the narrative.
00:20:18.920And now we have a guaranteed vote within the next month on the ACA tax credits drafted by the Democrats that the majority leader has agreed to bring to the floor.
00:20:29.440And it gives us a chance to put the Republicans to the test.
00:20:33.220Are you going to work with us on this issue or not?
00:20:36.040In the midst of the shutdown, they just weren't talking.
00:20:38.600Yeah. So Bernie Sanders and other progressive leaders have said that that you and other moderates that have voted to reopen the government are going to cause great damage to the Democratic Party.
00:20:53.340And many will see it as a betrayal and that that voters will remember next November.
00:21:01.560What what do you say to Bernie Sanders?
00:21:04.460Well, I think what I'm saying is, what was your strategy, man?
00:21:09.960If we're going to extend the shutdown another week, another month through Christmas, Thanksgiving, is that going to get us anywhere?
00:21:18.940The point is, there never was an end game if the initial strategy didn't work.
00:21:23.360And now we have one. We're going to have, as I say, a guaranteed vote on the ACA and it may not succeed.
00:21:29.320I grant that. But a reasonable chance, 10, 20 percent, 30 percent is a lot better than zero percent, which is where we were as of yesterday morning.
00:21:38.840So I understand everybody wants to stand up to Donald Trump.
00:21:43.220Everybody wants to deal with the ACA tax credits.
00:21:45.640I do, too. The question is, is this the right tool to do it?
00:21:51.160And it's it's becoming counterproductive and you can't ignore 42 million people not getting their SNAP benefits.
00:21:59.800Told you exactly what it was, the end game, which is what it is for Bernie Sanders.
00:22:04.160And he's right. It's actually a little bit of breath of fresh air.
00:22:07.640Obviously, I don't agree with any of the Marxist policies that he wants to put forward.
00:23:01.280Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show.

00:23:09.400Speaker Mike Johnson holding a press conference earlier today.
00:23:12.740And I got to give him a great deal of credit because credit where credit's due.
00:23:16.700I've been tough on him when I need to be tough on him and give him credit when credit is deserving.
00:23:21.720Because he's, you know, stood through this whole entire process and haven't they haven't caved one inch, folks.
00:23:28.320And I think that's far different than what we would have gotten out of Speaker McCarthy, what we got out of Speaker Paul Ryan, what we got out of certainly John Boehner.
00:23:37.880So you got to give credit where credit's due.
00:23:44.180I'm very thankful to see you all this morning.
00:23:46.600And I'm thankful to welcome you to what appears to be the beginning of the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, as shameful as that is.
00:24:15.740At least some Democrats now finally appear ready to do what Republicans and President Trump and millions of hardworking American people have been asking them to do for weeks.
00:24:27.420But as we said from the beginning, the people's government cannot be held hostage to further anyone's political agenda.
00:24:43.380I want to remind everybody this morning of another critical point that you've heard me here repeat over and over over the last several weeks.
00:24:51.560It's something that I and Leader John Thune and President Trump and every Republican leader have all said repeatedly from the beginning.
00:24:59.720We have always been open to finding solutions to reduce the oppressive costs of health care under the Unaffordable Care Act.
00:25:09.060We just made clear that we would not and should not ever do that.
00:25:15.900And I've also reminded you here every morning that this president, Republicans have not just been talking about reducing costs and fraud and abuse in so many areas and in health care.
00:25:27.920We've been actually passing new laws to accomplish that urgent mission for the people, and we will continue to do so.
00:25:36.000So here's where we are by way of schedule, just so you know.
00:25:38.520You're following, and if you're not at home, if you're waking up to this good news this morning, that the Senate's vote late last night of 60 to 40 opens the door now.
00:25:48.540The Senate is moving forward on an amended House CR, a continuing resolution, that will reopen the government until January 30th.
00:25:57.120Added to that are provisions to fully fund SNAP provisions through the end of the next fiscal year, which is September 2026,
00:26:05.660guaranteed back pay for all federal workers who have been made to endure these hardships over the last several weeks.
00:26:11.480And it also includes passage of three appropriations bills, which we're grateful to be moving through the process.
00:26:17.380That is the Military Construction Veterans Affairs Bill, it's the Agriculture Bill, and the Legislative Branch Bill.
00:26:24.460The Senate will be back in session this morning to finish their job, and we're certainly praying that they do.
00:26:30.460They'll need unanimous consent from all senators to fast-track their final vote.
00:26:34.440As you know, there are some procedural hurdles that one or more could throw in the way,
00:26:38.280but we certainly hope that they won't do that, because so many people across this country are desperate for the government to reopen.
00:26:46.780At the very moment that they do that final vote, I will call all House members to return to Washington as quickly as possible.
00:26:55.040We'll give a 36-hour formal and official notice so that we can vote as soon as possible to pass the amended CR bill
00:27:02.860and get it to the President's desk, as you all know.
00:27:04.920And he said as recently as last night, I was with him, and he told the press, he said, we want to get the government open.
00:27:10.800He's very anxious to get the government reopened and to end the Schumer shutdown.
00:29:42.600Just say two edges, like off the edge of a cliff, which is where they were taking us, by the way.
00:29:48.800Buttigieg was the Secretary of Transportation, and he spent billions of dollars trying to patch together our air control, our air traffic control system, which was a conglomeration of all different systems in all different cities.
00:30:04.840He spent, they had hundreds of countries, companies working on it, and they were spending billions of dollars.
00:30:11.000And when they turned it on, it didn't work.
00:31:36.540The numbers were reported so incorrectly.
00:31:38.480Obviously, the real numbers are trillions of dollars have been taken in or gotten in terms of investment from the tariffs.
00:31:47.840And so if that were ever reversed, it would be a disaster.
00:31:50.980Frankly, it would be a national security problem for our country.
00:31:53.940And nobody thinks it's going to be reversed.
00:31:56.180I think we had a very good court case.
00:31:57.820As you know, it's before the Supreme Court right now.
00:32:00.160But if that were ever reversed, you know, people say, oh, it's a billion dollars.
00:32:04.880Some people said, oh, it's two billion.
00:32:06.300Well, that obviously we can handle very easily.
00:32:08.440But this is trillions of dollars we're talking about in terms of the tariff income and all the investment income that's come into our country.
00:32:27.280I think we should be paying down our debt, but if President Trump likes it, I guess I like it.
00:32:31.960And an unlikely Marxist dem, folks, before we wrap up, caught cheating.
00:32:36.440Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio appears to have ended his most recent relationship after having an affair with an elected official.
00:32:44.060De Blasio, 64 years old, had been in a 10-month relationship with a 41-year-old lady going public at the Fling in February.
00:32:52.300The lady Const, Namakiri Const, is a progressive activist who has formerly been an investigative reporter for the Young Turks podcast, as well as a campaign surrogate for former Marxist-Democrat presidential candidate and current Marxist-Democrat senator Bernie Sanders.
