Transcript

00:00:00.000 the government shutdown could mean a federal program that provides food assistance to low
00:00:07.220 income mothers and children could run out of money in days sources tell cnn white house budget
00:00:12.600 chief russ vote warned house republicans yesterday it could happen by next week the most recent
00:00:18.040 government data shows that nearly 7 million women infants and children were ineligible were eligible
00:00:22.840 i should say for wick benefits folks are really concerned about in the long run can they rely on
00:00:28.880 this program to get their needs met we know that for babies wick provides 100 of their nutritional
00:00:34.380 needs whether that's supporting their mom with lactation consulting if they're breastfeeding
00:00:39.020 or providing potentially medical specialty infant formula so that could be a real crisis
00:00:44.940 hello everybody welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us on this beautiful
00:00:50.280 day in america it's another day of government shutdown uh the chuck schumer democrat-owned
00:00:55.960 government shutdown as you just heard there cnn deciding uh they want to start covering the news
00:01:02.220 imagine that by the way folks we're live tonight we're going to be joined in just a few moments by
00:01:06.460 congressman mike herodopoulos of the great state of florida uh he also sits on the republican study
00:01:12.460 committee so we're going to get his take on uh just how long this thing's going to go can we expect it
00:01:17.260 to shut down soon can we expect schumer to cave soon because he's eventually going to have to the
00:01:23.220 republicans to have nothing to cave on uh what the democrats don't realize is the mainstream media is
00:01:29.840 actually helping the republicans get this message across and the message across is that this
00:01:35.000 continuing resolution now we don't always agree with continuing resolutions as a matter of fact
00:01:38.880 most of the time don't agree with the continuing resolution but this continuing resolution extends
00:01:44.020 to government funding for just over a month and it continues spending at the same levels that
00:01:49.140 were voted on by the democrats under joe biden that's how you know the whole thing is just a
00:01:54.940 charade and a lie on behalf of chuck schumer and the democrats the same levels folks of funding
00:02:03.420 as were voted on by the democrats take a listen to hakeem jeffries try to dodge the question from
00:02:11.280 jake tapper the mainstream media cnn here he is the partisan spending bill is that the one big beautiful
00:02:16.540 bill or the continuing resolution because this continuing resolution just funds the government
00:02:20.040 at the current level well actually the continuing resolution that they have presented to the congress
00:02:25.020 is a partisan bill house democrats voted against it in march because it hurt veterans hurt seniors hurt
00:02:31.660 children hurt child care affordability hurt housing affordability and hurt health care which is why we
00:02:38.440 opposed it you're saying that chuck schumer then voted for a republican partisan bill because he voted for
00:02:43.080 that so did nine other democrats in the march no it is just caught absolutely flat-footed there because
00:02:52.140 he's a liar hakeem jeffries is a liar chuck schumer is a liar they're both known liars it comes down to
00:03:01.020 them not being able to give donald trump a win and needless to say this is not a win for donald trump and
00:03:06.520 it's not a win for the republicans the continued level of spending is no win for anybody
00:03:11.200 it's merely just a stopgap measure for them to be able to push this thing through so that they have
00:03:18.340 a little extra time to be able to to get something more concrete done but the democrats they don't care
00:03:24.860 they they want to frame this in any way possible that this is a win for donald trump and it's not
00:03:29.940 there's no cuts there's nothing it's a continuing resolution which as i said most of the time we're
00:03:35.600 against um to to get them to a point where they can get through some appropriations bills the 12
00:03:42.700 that they had promised they were going to get us through in just a few moments as i said we're going
00:03:46.240 to be joined by congressman mike herodopoulos of the great state of florida sits on the republican
00:03:50.820 study committee so he's privy to all uh discussions on this thing and he's studied the budget and he studied
00:03:57.500 what we need and he also sat on the florida uh legislator in the florida senate so he knows a little
00:04:02.980 something about passing budgets and the democrats stonewalling so what are the democrats stonewalling
00:04:10.460 about you may ask well they were exposed in part today and i think the white house messaging on this
00:04:16.360 by the way has been absolutely absolutely brilliant donald trump mike johnson even john thune who i
00:04:24.800 don't really care for the messaging on it has been absolutely brilliant so the white house released a
00:04:32.400 memo today that's absolutely blown the lid off of the latest betrayal from the democrats i mean
00:04:37.600 should be no surprise to us these people betray the american people each and every day but buried
00:04:43.280 inside of their continuing resolution is a demand to repeal president trump's historic america first
00:04:48.340 health care reforms the very safeguards that protect u.s citizens from footing the bill for illegal aliens
00:04:55.080 and their medicare scam that they've been running for years now according to the memo of democrats
00:05:01.500 succeed taxpayers will be on the hook for nearly 200 billion dollars in health care benefits for
00:05:07.000 illegal aliens and non-citizens over the next decade that's folks get ready for this that's almost
00:05:13.480 enough to fund the entire children's health insurance program also known as chip for the same period of
00:05:21.280 time don't take my word for it here's the chart right in front of you 193 billion dollars which is what
00:05:31.040 the democrats want um for non-citizens for illegal aliens for illegal whatever you want to call them
00:05:39.060 people who are not part of this country whereas over the same 10 period 10 year period 195 billion
00:05:46.520 dollars towards uh chip children's health insurance program now of course you're not going to hear
00:05:52.800 chuck schumer talking about that on cnn you're not going to hear jake tapper talking about that but like i
00:05:58.560 said we are getting a little bit out of the mainstream media i think which is healthy calling out these
00:06:05.140 democrats for the destruction they're doing to america
00:06:09.280 they want to spend as much money on illegal aliens over 10 years as they do our children
00:06:17.280 who votes for these people how could anyone with a conscience say that it's acceptable
00:06:26.100 to spend even a dollar on illegal aliens who don't belong to this country
00:06:31.320 and spend the same amount of money that we're spending on our children the future of this country
00:06:37.960 the backbone of what this country is going to be built on that's what the democrats want and that's
00:06:45.400 what the democrats are trying to somehow shield their way around but it's great like i said on the
00:06:52.120 white house for the messaging uh that they've been getting forward and getting through to the american
00:06:57.400 people on just what they are trying to sell
00:07:01.020 so the working families tax cut act which was wftca which was signed into law by president trump
00:07:09.980 was designed to end taxpayer subsidies for illegal aliens health care and redirect these resources to
00:07:16.180 the most vulnerable americans it ended medicaid and medicare funding for most non-citizens should have
00:07:23.420 ended it for all it shut down the california loophole that allowed liberal states to siphon federal dollars
00:07:29.000 for illegal alien health care it blocked emergency medicare expansions
00:07:33.880 that reimbursed hospitals for more treating illegals than caring for american children and seniors
00:07:40.560 our most vulnerable folks the elderly and the children and it repealed the obamacare special rule
00:07:48.960 that gave subsidies to immigrants earning below poverty line while denying the poor american citizens
00:07:55.380 any sort of help think about that one think about that one think about that one leaving americans high and dry how many
00:08:14.260 homeless veterans do we see on the street corners how many homeless people do you see in your city
00:08:32.140 drugged out or cracked out or whatever they're on i mean i had dinner last night in manhattan and over
00:08:43.400 the course of about eight blocks that i walked i must have seen eight or nine homeless people
00:08:49.360 in the greatest city in the world in new york city eight or nine homeless people
00:08:55.620 one of them peeing on themselves another one in a wheelchair with no legs
00:09:02.280 panhandling begging for money i mean this is what america's come to
00:09:08.400 yet the democrats are willing to go out and die on a sword protecting illegals
00:09:15.160 when we have our own american citizens
00:09:18.260 who are living out on the street living in squalor disrupting the peace
00:09:24.960 people can't get on a subways because they have to be worried about
00:09:30.860 someone making them uncomfortable or someone doing something to them
00:09:35.040 that's the new america that the democrats are happy to get behind
00:09:42.300 it's the new america that they're happy to sit and promote
00:09:47.300 now according to this white house memo the democrat proposal
00:09:51.840 would spend 193 billion dollars as i said on this 10-year
00:09:55.660 health care program for illegal aliens it would repeal safeguards against fraud
00:10:00.640 improper payments and abuse of federal programs it would cancel president trump's
00:10:05.720 50 billion dollar rural health care investment
00:10:09.520 now those of you who don't live in big cities and i only know about this because
00:10:14.300 i read obviously i live in a big city but the 50 billion dollars in rural health
00:10:19.120 care investments is massive with the amount of health cares
00:10:22.840 i'm sorry hospitals that are closing or hospitals that are being built and bought
00:10:28.000 up by private equity firms it's gonna be a big problem that we're
00:10:32.040 gonna see here in america you know living in middle america because
00:10:35.860 you don't want to deal with the the craziness of um
00:10:39.240 you know living in a big city some people are gonna have to drive an hour
00:10:43.880 to get to any sort of health clinic
00:10:47.260 to get to any sort of help
00:10:49.900 i mean how can you be an elderly person living in middle america
00:10:53.960 and have to worry about driving an hour or two hours or get an ambulance for two
00:10:58.320 hours or an hour traffic
00:10:59.620 to get to any kind of hospital
00:11:02.300 the democrats of course don't care about any of that stuff
00:11:08.100 so that's the cancellation of the 50 billion dollars in rural health care
00:11:12.220 investment
00:11:12.600 now they want to eliminate the expanded health savings accounts for 10 million
00:11:17.160 americans
00:11:17.760 that's just another added uh uh icing on the cake for them
00:11:24.700 and of course they want to gut the work requirements for able-bodied adults
00:11:28.920 reviving the failed welfare policies that got america
00:11:32.640 into this massive hole in the first place
00:11:35.880 they don't think that you should have to work or you don't have to
00:11:40.300 you shouldn't have to be able to perform or
00:11:43.520 provide for your family if you're an able-bodied adult
00:11:48.240 now this is all part of the democrats uh american welfare society
00:11:53.940 that they love so much
00:11:55.800 they want america in a welfare state
00:11:59.640 it's it's sort of like getting someone hooked on drugs
00:12:02.880 you get them hooked on drugs
00:12:05.600 and then they got to keep coming back to you for more
00:12:08.980 because they're hooked
00:12:09.840 they're addicted
00:12:10.960 so you give people free stuff
00:12:13.960 you get them addicted
00:12:15.320 and they keep coming back to the democratic party
00:12:17.320 it's the same concept
00:12:19.720 so they want to push this on you
00:12:23.420 they want to push this on the american people
00:12:25.020 so that you keep coming back for more
00:12:26.920 but the american people see through it all
00:12:29.340 and if they didn't see through it
00:12:32.100 donald trump would not have won as decisively as he did on november 5th
00:12:37.240 he wouldn't have won the popular vote
00:12:39.120 as resoundingly as he did
00:12:42.440 so you answer that one democrats
00:12:46.860 now this white house memo goes a little bit further
00:12:49.480 it breaks down how much spending
00:12:51.160 just how much spending
00:12:53.840 uh president trump plans to repeal and reforms
00:12:58.980 and what would it cost the the taxpayers
00:13:00.840 ninety one billion dollars on restoring obamacare's funding for non-citizens
00:13:08.300 thirty five billion dollars for reopening california's medicaid scam
00:13:13.460 twenty eight billion dollars on emergency care reimbursements for illegals
00:13:18.220 twenty seven billion dollars for obamacare's special rule subsidies for non-citizens
00:13:24.880 six and a half billion dollars for medicaid for non-citizens
00:13:29.220 and five billion dollars for medicare for non-citizens
00:13:32.440 which brings that grand total bill to about
00:13:36.320 193 billion dollars
00:13:38.700 imagine that
00:13:41.600 so here's the points that i you you need to know
00:13:46.760 for when you want to talk to your to your liberal friends
00:13:49.920 or try to somehow reason with these people
00:13:52.280 that we should be funding
00:13:54.280 this stuff for illegals
00:13:57.080 it is a fact
00:13:58.720 that the democrats proposal would result in a nearly 200 billion dollar
00:14:02.440 spending spree
00:14:03.520 on health care for illegal immigrants
00:14:05.980 and other non-citizens over the next decade
00:14:08.940 enough to fund as i said the entire children's health insurance program
00:14:13.020 200 billion dollars
00:14:14.960 it is a fact that the democrats proposal would once again
00:14:18.640 allow these improperly granted asylum and parole claims under biden's open border scheme
00:14:24.600 to receive medicaid
00:14:26.180 it is a fact that democrats proposal would require medicaid to pay more for emergency care
00:14:32.380 provided to illegal aliens
00:14:34.360 than it does for american patients who are disabled elderly or children
00:14:38.920 in other words are most vulnerable in america
00:14:41.880 it is a fact that democrats proposal
00:14:44.500 would allow california to continue exploiting a loophole
00:14:47.560 to fund medicaid for illegal aliens
00:14:49.780 it's also a fact that democrats proposal would reinstate
00:14:53.640 a special obamacare subsidy
00:14:55.480 for non-citizens
00:14:56.840 for which low-income american citizens are not eligible
00:14:59.940 in other words take care of the illegals
00:15:01.840 and screw the americans
00:15:03.400 which is what the democrats have done for the last four years
00:15:05.920 it's also a fact that the democrats proposal would repeal a generational 50 billion dollar investment
00:15:11.600 in rural health care that we just spoke about
00:15:13.680 and lastly it's a fact that the democrats proposal would take the health
00:15:18.480 savings accounts away from 10 million american citizens
00:15:22.380 so what happened to the democrats all of a sudden
00:15:25.060 not caring about the health and the welfare of the american people
00:15:28.140 no the mainstream media doesn't want to call these scumbags out
00:15:32.360 because that's exactly what they are
00:15:33.940 they care more about illegals
00:15:36.540 and taking care of these illegal aliens who came to this country legally
00:15:40.000 than they care about you and i
00:15:41.780 and it's why
00:15:43.920 we resoundingly saw
00:15:45.920 what happened last election
00:15:47.200 folks we're going to take a quick break here
00:15:48.940 on the other side of this quick break
00:15:50.160 we're going to be joined by congressman mike haradopoulos

00:16:30.060 and you were going to report back on the aliens

00:16:35.300 and the skiff has probably been closed
00:16:37.040 tell us what's going on in dc
00:16:39.000 unfortunately that committee has not met
00:16:41.280 i am uh still negotiating with nicholas cage on that issue
00:16:44.880 we'll see how that goes
00:16:46.500 but uh it's been an interesting week to say the least
00:16:49.440 it's it's uh i you know sometimes you just wonder about the other side
00:16:53.700 uh but but i guess on a sour note to start
00:16:56.020 we almost came back and won the rider cup
00:16:58.440 i i mean that was a wild sunday
00:17:00.480 and had uh that one guy uh who was
00:17:03.600 who left two putts short for our team
00:17:05.960 uh it'd be uh won that race against uh
00:17:09.160 that uh match against lowry
00:17:10.840 we might be holding the the the rider cup
00:17:13.080 and the greatest greatest comeback in rider cup history
00:17:15.340 but so it's a case hurrah right
00:17:17.440 yeah you're you're right
00:17:19.160 no it's been an interesting day
00:17:20.780 uh and i'm calling the democrat party now
00:17:23.380 tuesday night football
00:17:24.380 uh they all came up here this week
00:17:27.100 all excited saying we're the republicans
00:17:29.100 i'm like hey uh we voted last week
00:17:31.160 i don't know why you're here this week
00:17:33.280 the big vote was on thursday
00:17:34.880 you guys voted to shut down the government
00:17:36.700 and here they are saying we should negotiate
00:17:38.440 open the government up
00:17:39.680 i mean yeah
00:17:40.280 it's just a unique place to work every day
00:17:42.660 i don't know if you saw this today but uh hakeem jeffries
00:17:45.680 uh your your your folks is genius leader over there
00:17:49.160 sat down with jake capper
00:17:50.280 and these guys can't congressmen
00:17:51.780 they can't stay away from the cameras
00:17:52.980 which is like as someone who's guided politicians
00:17:56.260 for 10 years of my life
00:17:57.500 i would tell the democrats to just shut up
00:17:59.600 stay away from the cameras
00:18:00.880 don't say a word
00:18:01.740 and let the republicans do all the talking
00:18:03.820 eventually someone will say something stupid
00:18:05.580 no no they can't help themselves
00:18:07.300 but to get in front of the cameras
00:18:08.360 i don't know if you saw this but
00:18:09.400 take a watch hakeem jeffries and jake ta
00:18:11.760 the partisan spending bill
00:18:12.760 is that the one big beautiful bill
00:18:14.220 or the continuing resolution
00:18:15.300 because it's continuing resolution
00:18:16.520 just funds the government
00:18:17.440 at the current level
00:18:18.460 well actually the continuing resolution
00:18:19.920 that they have presented to the congress
00:18:22.420 is a partisan bill
00:18:23.440 house democrats voted against it in march
00:18:25.860 because it hurt veterans
00:18:27.880 hurt seniors hurt children
00:18:29.540 hurt child care affordability
00:18:31.580 hurt housing affordability
00:18:33.800 and hurt health care
00:18:35.200 which is why we opposed it
00:18:36.400 you're saying that chuck schumer then voted
00:18:38.300 for a republican partisan bill
00:18:39.740 because he voted for that
00:18:40.640 so did nine other democrats
00:18:41.840 in the march
00:18:42.580 maybe hakeem jeffries
00:18:45.240 should just stick to
00:18:46.340 serving margaritas
00:18:47.420 at the local taco joint
00:18:48.740 i i you know
00:18:50.980 it's it's really interesting
00:18:52.380 watching even cnn
00:18:53.700 call out jeffries
00:18:54.840 i think the day before
00:18:55.900 they they show the videotape
00:18:58.100 of chuck schumer
00:18:58.760 called it idiocy
00:18:59.840 to shut down the government
00:19:01.200 and uh it's just a losing
00:19:03.940 set of cards for them
00:19:05.260 and every time they get
00:19:06.400 dealt some cards
00:19:07.160 they got they got some real stinkers
00:19:09.020 and it's because their policies
00:19:10.600 are really just going nowhere
00:19:11.940 and then they say
00:19:13.200 to open up the government
00:19:14.280 you've got to spend
00:19:15.000 1.5 trillion dollars
00:19:17.600 after they complained to us
00:19:19.500 saying that the big bill
00:19:20.520 that we passed
00:19:21.280 would increase the deficit
00:19:22.500 so they're okay
00:19:23.440 with adding another
00:19:24.120 1.5 trillion
00:19:25.160 they want to bring back
00:19:26.400 the usaid spending
00:19:27.740 they want to
00:19:28.580 allow people
00:19:29.660 who don't want to work
00:19:30.560 to get medicaid
00:19:31.500 they want people
00:19:32.480 who slide in their
00:19:33.840 application
00:19:34.340 to get medicaid
00:19:35.220 and of course
00:19:35.960 despite the the coverage
00:19:37.860 from the the left wing
00:19:39.300 we know full well
00:19:40.600 that the democrats
00:19:41.440 are paying for
00:19:42.920 illegals to get
00:19:44.160 health care
00:19:44.860 i mean here's the
00:19:45.940 here's the thing i have
00:19:46.860 you know from cnn
00:19:48.060 it says democrats
00:19:49.340 want to offer health care
00:19:50.680 to undocumented
00:19:51.420 and this is cnn
00:19:53.220 and then fact check
00:19:55.160 it says
00:19:56.140 trump falsely claims democrats
00:19:58.280 okay
00:19:58.620 then it says
00:19:59.200 minnesota allows
00:20:00.240 all documented residents
00:20:01.360 to enroll
00:20:01.960 undocumented residents
00:20:03.260 to enroll in
00:20:03.940 in their program
00:20:04.800 new health care
00:20:06.060 insurance option
00:20:06.780 for undocumented
00:20:07.840 in new york state
00:20:09.080 california's budget
00:20:10.680 being busted
00:20:11.400 by uh
00:20:13.260 all these things
00:20:14.040 it's just
00:20:14.680 they they wanted
00:20:16.440 that they all
00:20:17.040 raised their hand
00:20:17.600 you saw
00:20:17.940 everyone's seen
00:20:18.420 the video now
00:20:18.960 i think on internet
00:20:19.640 when all their
00:20:20.660 leading presidential
00:20:21.880 candidates
00:20:22.460 raised their hand
00:20:23.780 saying they want
00:20:24.460 to give undocum
00:20:25.220 i mean
00:20:25.420 let's let's play
00:20:26.300 we've got it
00:20:26.760 for the audience
00:20:27.100 we'll play it
00:20:27.880 for real

00:20:29.620 today on fox
00:20:30.180 i don't watch
00:20:30.600 fox news
00:20:31.000 but i haven't heard
00:20:32.760 anybody in my party
00:20:33.840 saying that illegal
00:20:34.980 immigrants should get
00:20:35.840 access to the health
00:20:37.220 insurance marketplace
00:20:38.060 i'm so glad you said
00:20:39.220 that actually i have
00:20:40.320 some tape of of your
00:20:42.040 democratic party members
00:20:44.060 saying this on the
00:20:44.860 debate stage so they've
00:20:45.840 all said and let's play
00:20:46.800 the clip
00:20:47.260 a lot of you have been
00:20:49.460 talking tonight about
00:20:50.660 these government
00:20:51.480 health care plans that
00:20:52.720 you've proposed in one
00:20:53.720 form or another
00:20:54.380 this is a show of hands
00:20:55.640 question and hold them
00:20:56.840 up for a moment
00:20:57.440 so people can see
00:20:58.860 raise your hand if
00:21:00.660 government if your
00:21:01.260 government plan would
00:21:02.260 provide coverage for
00:21:03.260 undocumented immigrants
00:21:04.640 i mean are we the dumb
00:21:13.700 ones congressman or
00:21:14.660 i don't i'm at a loss
00:21:17.040 of words i don't even
00:21:18.000 know what to say
00:21:18.780 i mean it's like nothing
00:21:20.960 to see here
00:21:21.840 it's like a guy you
00:21:23.380 catch a guy red-handed
00:21:24.340 videotaped stealing
00:21:25.820 something i didn't steal
00:21:26.680 anything i mean it's
00:21:28.260 it's bizarre and and
00:21:29.840 they and they think that
00:21:30.880 they're i guess they're so
00:21:32.180 used to having the media
00:21:33.200 you know put on the
00:21:34.360 jersey for them that
00:21:35.480 they think they'll get
00:21:36.460 away with it but you
00:21:37.780 know and you're
00:21:38.860 watching when chuck
00:21:39.980 schumer used to be in
00:21:40.640 the house of
00:21:41.080 representatives i mean
00:21:42.660 the guy his entire
00:21:43.960 career has said
00:21:45.180 shutting down the
00:21:46.180 government is idiocy
00:21:47.200 his own words and now
00:21:48.700 is he just calling
00:21:49.540 himself an idiot and
00:21:51.120 then and then you have
00:21:51.980 jeffrey's not giving
00:21:52.960 him any cover and
00:21:53.840 saying what they they
00:21:54.820 did back in march was
00:21:56.040 anti-democrat
00:21:58.080 awareness i tell you
00:21:59.680 it's it makes you a
00:22:00.800 little stir crazy here
00:22:01.740 because you think
00:22:02.560 that these guys
00:22:03.820 literally as as the
00:22:04.720 speaker put it pretty
00:22:05.400 well they have no
00:22:06.060 shame sometimes
00:22:06.900 no and they've gotten
00:22:08.160 their hands stuck in
00:22:08.940 the cookie jar and
00:22:09.700 they're caught red-handed
00:22:11.060 with crumbs all over
00:22:12.620 their face and milk all
00:22:13.920 over their mustaches
00:22:15.020 because you know why
00:22:17.260 congressman you're you're
00:22:18.280 a freshman which means
00:22:19.540 you're one of the good
00:22:20.300 guys for right now you
00:22:21.960 haven't been corrupted
00:22:22.980 all right so what what
00:22:25.520 these people have done
00:22:26.320 for years what the
00:22:27.120 republicans have done
00:22:27.780 for years is they've
00:22:28.980 allowed the democrats to
00:22:30.500 win on messaging right
00:22:31.920 they've allowed them to
00:22:32.860 win on on the messaging
00:22:34.860 battle with this and for
00:22:36.380 the first time i've been
00:22:37.980 rough on on uh speaker
00:22:39.880 mike johnson i talked to
00:22:41.580 congressman tim birchard on
00:22:42.540 the show about it all the
00:22:43.260 time and he's been rough
00:22:44.260 on him i mean because we
00:22:45.720 didn't know really what to
00:22:46.460 expect from you know the
00:22:48.120 last term whether it's
00:22:49.340 faiza where he's allowed
00:22:50.380 the democrats to continue
00:22:51.380 with the spying on
00:22:52.300 americans or losing but
00:22:54.100 for the first time we've
00:22:55.280 watched a republican
00:22:56.260 party united where these
00:22:58.820 people are are winning on
00:23:01.540 the message and they're
00:23:02.400 winning on the message of
00:23:03.960 the american people all
00:23:05.040 the polling shows that
00:23:06.340 the american people wanted
00:23:07.600 to shut down 6.8 million
00:23:10.440 americans right now
00:23:11.860 congressman women and
00:23:13.340 children over the next few
00:23:14.600 days are going to lose
00:23:15.300 their wick which is their
00:23:17.140 food payments for you know
00:23:19.140 underprivileged families the
00:23:20.740 democrats don't give a damn
00:23:22.300 about it they don't care it's
00:23:23.620 it's the same government
00:23:25.260 their funding that was
00:23:26.440 passed by the democrats
00:23:27.440 months ago but they don't
00:23:29.220 care because it appears as
00:23:30.880 a win for donald trump this
00:23:32.520 is no win for donald trump
00:23:33.700 and this is not a win for
00:23:34.640 the republicans to continue
00:23:35.760 this wasteful spending just
00:23:37.500 between you and i and
00:23:38.660 nobody else look i i just
00:23:41.000 look at it and i'm amazed
00:23:43.120 that they just can't do
00:23:44.840 things right i mean i look at
00:23:46.800 their their requests they're
00:23:48.320 all the money they want it's
00:23:49.620 it's it's for things that
00:23:51.460 people have been i've shown
00:23:53.000 is just absolutely wasteful
00:23:54.380 spending and why would you
00:23:56.020 reward why reward somebody
00:23:57.560 doesn't want to work why
00:23:58.720 reward someone who's coming
00:23:59.880 here illegally why reward
00:24:01.540 someone who's actually lied
00:24:03.000 in their application to get
00:24:04.100 free health care i mean the
00:24:05.340 average americans prime for
00:24:06.800 a family of four is probably
00:24:07.840 paying around fifteen hundred
00:24:09.780 to two thousand dollars a
00:24:11.300 month for health insurance and
00:24:13.460 they're turning around and
00:24:14.400 saying that's all right we're
00:24:15.660 going to give it to all these
00:24:16.380 people who lied or came here
00:24:17.700 illegally or refused to work
00:24:19.200 they're going to give them
00:24:19.780 free health care when a
00:24:21.000 family's paid eighteen
00:24:22.080 thousand dollars a year it's
00:24:24.060 insulting and and then on top
00:24:26.600 of that to say no we're not
00:24:27.800 really doing that so they
00:24:29.740 kind of their credibility is
00:24:30.800 kind of lost at this point
00:24:31.920 my my theory has always been
00:24:34.080 they're going to call us one
00:24:35.060 anyway no matter what we do
00:24:36.200 they said we cut medicare in
00:24:38.000 the bill last uh earlier this
00:24:39.660 year we didn't even look at
00:24:40.500 medicare or social security
00:24:41.540 which still needs some
00:24:42.740 addressing but uh they they
00:24:44.520 said that we were going to
00:24:45.160 cut off disabled kids like that
00:24:47.060 and it's like what what is
00:24:49.100 this so um it is what it is i
00:24:51.720 i just it's just frustrating
00:24:52.820 that's why i've always said
00:24:53.820 do what's right and let the
00:24:55.600 politics take care of itself
00:24:56.980 if you if you worry about the
00:24:58.320 politics the democrats will
00:24:59.560 always beat you because
00:25:00.780 they're willing to spend more
00:25:01.840 and lie more yeah i i saw
00:25:03.980 something the other day about
00:25:04.860 health care and how health
00:25:06.160 care is through the roof now
00:25:07.180 it's through the roof now
00:25:08.320 because of obamacare and the
00:25:09.840 bidding on health care if i
00:25:11.400 told you you know what i'll
00:25:12.360 tell the audience i pay nearly
00:25:13.620 a thousand dollars a month for
00:25:15.420 my health care i mean i'm a
00:25:17.600 young adult in good health i
00:25:19.420 have no pre-exist nothing
00:25:20.580 nothing wrong with me that i
00:25:22.020 know about and uh i pay nine
00:25:24.800 nearly a thousand dollars a
00:25:26.540 month for health care in what
00:25:27.980 society does that make any
00:25:29.920 sense you know how many
00:25:30.520 podcasts i gotta do to make a
00:25:31.940 thousand bucks congressman i
00:25:33.540 get it that's what i'm saying
00:25:34.600 and and here are people again
00:25:36.540 this is a two it's a two-edged
00:25:38.280 sword for you because not only
00:25:39.600 are you paying 900 bucks a
00:25:40.920 month you're paying taxes to
00:25:43.100 subsidize someone along the way
00:25:45.680 on top of it that's the thing
00:25:47.120 that's just doubly irritates
00:25:48.840 me i mean we and again
00:25:50.400 despite what people say we
00:25:52.920 actually pay for our own
00:25:53.840 health care in the congress
00:25:54.800 it's 1500 bucks for our family
00:25:56.740 a month they may be almost
00:25:57.940 600 yeah and we it's not free
00:25:59.860 insurance so those people are
00:26:01.840 wondering about that's not the
00:26:02.880 case yeah and people think
00:26:05.160 that you guys get this crazy
00:26:06.280 pension after two years there's
00:26:08.020 a lot of misconceptions about
00:26:09.280 the members of congress and if
00:26:11.500 you guys had such good benefits
00:26:12.680 nancy polls you wouldn't be
00:26:13.760 doing her insider trading gigs
00:26:15.320 that she's doing over there
00:26:16.580 once again my words not yours
00:26:18.440 um but no people don't
00:26:20.700 realize it it's it really it's
00:26:23.420 a tough position to be in when
00:26:24.720 you've got to deal with this
00:26:25.540 you guys got to fly back and
00:26:26.680 forth every week to dc get a
00:26:28.200 place there either live in your
00:26:29.660 office or pay two or three
00:26:31.020 grand a month for rent and i mean
00:26:32.680 it's a crazy it's a crazy crazy
00:26:35.020 crazy situation not to mention
00:26:36.500 some of the staffers on capital
00:26:37.640 hill are making like 30 grand a
00:26:38.980 year i was one of them at one
00:26:40.460 point so it's it's not exactly a
00:26:42.860 good lifestyle um how much
00:26:45.300 longer could we expect chuck
00:26:46.740 schumer do you think to to hold
00:26:49.220 this thing up and continue to
00:26:51.180 play with the lives of the
00:26:52.980 american people oh my my take
00:26:55.620 i don't think schumer is gonna
00:26:56.960 fold i i think he is gonna if
00:26:59.760 they cut a deal it will be with
00:27:01.520 the four or five people i think
00:27:02.960 there's what three right now
00:27:04.040 that's always said they're gonna
00:27:05.380 vote with us keep the government
00:27:07.500 open and and then move on with
00:27:09.140 the negotiations i think you're
00:27:11.300 gonna find maybe some retiring
00:27:12.660 members maybe some quote
00:27:14.320 moderate members if there's any
00:27:15.580 left in the democrat party to
00:27:17.280 get to that 60 vote threshold i
00:27:19.100 think schumer will maybe even
00:27:21.000 orchestrate it but i don't think
00:27:22.220 he ever votes yes because he is
00:27:23.960 he has kind of sold his uh
00:27:25.900 uh capabilities here on on on
00:27:29.340 taking on trump and i think i
00:27:31.140 told you before the people i've
00:27:32.280 been debating on tv from the
00:27:34.160 democrat side when you ask them
00:27:35.820 why are you shutting down the
00:27:36.980 government they're saying to to
00:27:39.080 show their people they're
00:27:40.200 standing up to trump that's
00:27:41.960 that's that's their whole
00:27:42.860 excuse and again i just don't
00:27:44.760 get that excuse because in the
00:27:47.080 end you know we're there a lot
00:27:48.460 of politics up here john but
00:27:50.080 who's really getting hurt you
00:27:52.260 know the the person who's
00:27:53.600 actually has a job uh the person
00:27:55.640 who's trying to do their job
00:27:56.820 uh people who might need some of
00:27:58.400 these benefits like the wick
00:27:59.360 benefits you're talking about
00:28:00.420 i know right now the real estate
00:28:02.020 industry in florida could be
00:28:03.160 getting hit a little bit because
00:28:04.240 you can't get flood insurance
00:28:05.560 i mean these are real issues
00:28:07.600 and and for no consequence i
00:28:09.800 mean you you called it whether
00:28:11.060 you like or not what happened in
00:28:12.300 march democrats said yeah we're
00:28:14.380 going to continue on all we did
00:28:15.580 was continue on that spending i
00:28:16.900 hope it actually comes down from
00:28:18.540 that march number but my
00:28:20.280 obligation is to keep the
00:28:21.520 government open for no other
00:28:22.820 reason
00:28:23.260 people paid their taxes they
00:28:25.800 deserve to get something in
00:28:27.240 return for those tax payments
00:28:28.560 tell me if you will for the
00:28:29.980 audience who really who's not
00:28:31.800 getting paid during this
00:28:33.240 government shutdown ice by the
00:28:34.620 way as you said the democrats
00:28:36.060 are it's a show trial because
00:28:37.800 ice is still out there doing
00:28:39.680 their their arrest of illegal
00:28:41.220 aliens and gang members uh the
00:28:43.520 the fbi is still doing whatever
00:28:45.160 work they decide that they're
00:28:46.720 going to do on any given day
00:28:48.060 uh all of president trump's
00:28:50.140 agendas are going to be funded
00:28:51.380 what i understand is eight
00:28:53.720 billion dollars is being cut in
00:28:55.360 in uh you know oregon and new
00:28:58.000 york and all these green energy
00:28:59.180 places 18 billion dollars on hold
00:29:01.780 for all the union workers in
00:29:03.740 new york who are building a
00:29:04.740 subway line and a bridge i mean
00:29:06.200 who is not being paid who's
00:29:08.140 being screwed right now uh
00:29:10.060 well let me kind of walk you
00:29:12.300 through that that's a great
00:29:13.080 question john first and foremost
00:29:14.360 people understand that if you
00:29:16.080 work for the federal government
00:29:17.240 i mean you're a federal government
00:29:18.320 employee you were paid on
00:29:20.080 october 2 all right so that
00:29:22.860 paycheck was made all right
00:29:24.400 today's october 2 right yeah
00:29:26.020 yeah and so people got paid
00:29:27.840 today now the question is on
00:29:29.460 october 16th will they get
00:29:31.680 paid that's the question so if
00:29:34.020 you're showing up to work
00:29:35.440 you're um you you hope that the
00:29:37.900 the shutdown is done before
00:29:39.320 october 16 so you can get paid
00:29:41.560 for the work you did now if we go
00:29:43.540 beyond the 16th of october you
00:29:45.840 don't get paid that day but the
00:29:48.040 second the the government shutdown
00:29:49.820 ends you get your back pay but
00:29:52.300 here's the interesting part that
00:29:53.380 i've been talking about across the
00:29:54.640 country one is if you're at work
00:29:56.880 of course you should get paid but
00:29:58.120 here's the weird thing if you're a
00:29:59.460 non-essential employee you
00:30:01.260 actually go home you don't work
00:30:03.580 but you also get the back pay i
00:30:05.900 don't know if people know that
00:30:06.820 that's pretty wild to me i think
00:30:08.940 the way i look at it maybe i'm a
00:30:10.500 little off but i think that every
00:30:12.620 federal government worker should go
00:30:13.940 to work knowing full well that
00:30:15.780 whenever this government shutdowns
00:30:17.180 over they'll get paid those are
00:30:19.080 the rules so why why have a
00:30:21.100 essential versus non-essential if
00:30:23.240 everyone's going to get paid at the
00:30:24.360 end of the day anyway because
00:30:25.720 technically be paying people for
00:30:27.520 not working under this scheme
00:30:29.060 what about the faa do they feel i
00:30:32.180 mean last night we saw i don't
00:30:33.340 know if you followed but yeah air
00:30:34.700 traffic controllers they're working
00:30:36.080 now some of the people who do some
00:30:37.980 of the and uh you know um
00:30:40.820 inspections etc they're so a lot of
00:30:42.960 those are non-essential so they'll go
00:30:44.900 home that they won't work but they
00:30:46.940 will get paid when they go back to
00:30:48.700 work or when actually when we go back
00:30:50.940 to uh opening the government so it's
00:30:53.080 it's kind of a play where like the
00:30:55.100 military or like the faa um people
00:30:58.000 who were who work in um air traffic
00:31:00.120 control i think everybody should go
00:31:01.760 to work it's you know there's a lot
00:31:02.940 of benefits you know to being a
00:31:04.260 federal worker and this is one of the
00:31:06.020 downsides i guess you you have to go
00:31:08.120 to work even though it was just shut
00:31:09.640 down because you're going to get
00:31:10.680 paid on the backside regardless that's
00:31:12.760 why i think everybody should go to
00:31:13.700 work i'm at work right now i'm in
00:31:15.340 washington i've been talking to as
00:31:16.500 many people as i can and i'm
00:31:17.880 studying up on this big fight we're
00:31:19.800 going to have about the obamacare
00:31:21.040 subsidies so we can really go at it
00:31:23.120 so the democrats can't get away with
00:31:24.540 some of their uh unique statements
00:31:26.160 i wish someone called me this
00:31:27.540 morning told me i didn't have to get
00:31:28.560 out of bed and they'll pay me next
00:31:29.580 week i'd i'd still be watching jack
00:31:31.760 reacher um that's uh that's why
00:31:34.500 people i'm just i mean look john
00:31:36.100 that's just the truth man if you're a
00:31:37.880 non-essential employee and you get
00:31:39.380 furloughed you still get paid when the
00:31:41.980 government gets opened back up even
00:31:43.960 though you didn't go to work it's a
00:31:45.500 great deal i get a lot of these
00:31:46.740 people and i don't i mean i don't
00:31:48.840 want to demean these people they do
00:31:50.080 good work yeah and if they're told
00:31:52.120 to go home they have to do it and i
00:31:53.980 don't i don't i don't be uh be smirk
00:31:56.720 any of them it just i think we if
00:31:58.180 we're a federal gun employee go to
00:31:59.440 work every day i know our office is
00:32:01.260 open open back in the district our
00:32:02.740 office is open here right now in
00:32:04.240 washington dc we're taking calls we're
00:32:06.680 working and i think it's the right
00:32:08.460 thing to do yeah it's it's uh it's
00:32:10.580 uh 6 30 p.m on the east coast uh
00:32:13.040 thursday night and you're sitting in
00:32:14.720 your office unless you've got some sort
00:32:16.300 of green screen which i don't think
00:32:17.400 you do no i do this is the real deal
00:32:19.260 you've got here yeah you've got the
00:32:23.740 capitol hill echo going out of the
00:32:25.320 background so we know you're in your
00:32:26.720 office
00:32:27.060 so let me ask you this i haven't heard
00:32:34.800 much out of aoc or like the radical
00:32:37.900 left part of the party what what's the
00:32:41.120 deal with them are they all in on this
00:32:43.400 shutdown or are they just trying to be
00:32:45.460 backbenchers so that when chuck schumer
00:32:48.120 ultimately implodes uh on his way down
00:32:51.680 to the titanic um they're there to come
00:32:54.600 save the day
00:32:55.260 now i my take on that by the way is
00:32:58.420 what they're one of the reasons why we
00:33:00.700 had this government shut everyone talks
00:33:02.120 about schumer and aoc and will there be
00:33:04.300 a senate primary and so forth here's the
00:33:06.480 here's the reality i think you and i
00:33:07.760 talked about last week the biggest fear
00:33:09.480 that most democrats have because most
00:33:11.340 democrats live in very blue areas
00:33:13.280 i mean they're not afraid to lose to
00:33:14.980 republicans they're afraid to lose in a
00:33:17.180 primary yes and so that's why they're
00:33:19.060 standing up to donald trump that's what
00:33:21.280 they're most afraid of and so i think
00:33:23.100 they're going to take go down with the
00:33:24.240 shipness they're standing up to trump
00:33:25.820 they're the most liberal people out
00:33:27.220 there because there are some um democrats
00:33:29.420 in new york especially that are in a
00:33:32.000 very um difficult spot whether this this
00:33:34.660 however this thing works out like
00:33:35.820 goldman around new york city he's gonna
00:33:37.940 have a really hard primary supposedly
00:33:39.800 against one of the guys who ran for
00:33:41.160 mayor lost him on domi that the
00:33:42.840 communist so there's a lot of action
00:33:45.360 going on here and these people fear
00:33:47.320 losing in that democrat primary and so
00:33:50.120 i think they're going to vote even if
00:33:51.980 we go back in and that some democrats
00:33:54.060 are going to vote to open up the
00:33:55.000 government you're going to see a huge
00:33:56.460 swath i think of democrats voting no
00:33:58.600 regardless if there's a deal cut or not
00:34:00.900 yeah that's that's what seems to be the
00:34:02.980 big issue i was talking i was talking
00:34:04.220 with tim burgey yesterday and he said
00:34:05.560 you know it's this big fight between
00:34:06.920 aoc and schumer because she eventually
00:34:08.440 wants a primary which obviously that's
00:34:10.320 the case you know if you're a member
00:34:11.540 of congress you want to you know some
00:34:13.780 of them want to seek higher office and
00:34:15.060 go to the senate or go to governor i mean
00:34:16.880 i'd rather go to a governorship it's a
00:34:19.440 much better job you don't have to travel
00:34:21.280 and you get like a nice mansion and all
00:34:22.780 that good stuff but aoc nonetheless is
00:34:25.300 looking to upgrade herself this is a war
00:34:27.740 right now inside the democratic party and
00:34:29.620 i believe this is the only way congressman
00:34:31.420 that and one on this that we heal america
00:34:34.300 and it's to let the democratic party
00:34:36.540 implode let them continue when you've got
00:34:39.000 john fetterman who we all thought was a
00:34:41.440 socialist communist running against dr
00:34:43.900 oz somehow he beats out a brilliant dot
00:34:47.080 whatever that's you know in the past but
00:34:49.000 when you have this in fighting in the
00:34:51.580 party this is what i think the democratic
00:34:54.740 party and what america needs to ultimately
00:34:56.980 heal there's make no mistake mom domi's
00:34:59.640 gonna win in november in new york he's
00:35:01.540 gonna go full communist he's already said
00:35:03.220 he wants to take away power uh from the
00:35:05.740 police commissioner that's fine let him
00:35:07.700 turn the city upside down maybe it's what
00:35:09.600 they need in order to save ourselves from
00:35:12.460 this destruction this wrecking ball that's
00:35:15.500 coming towards america your thoughts
00:35:16.920 congressman well like i i think the
00:35:19.260 democratic party is being exposed for who
00:35:21.100 they are now i mean they are extremely far
00:35:24.420 left uh they are they are under the thumb of
00:35:26.980 this left-wing uh group schumer's feeling it
00:35:30.380 now and and aoc is is driving the train and
00:35:34.540 it's it's just a real contrast of of just
00:35:37.600 visions i mean you're not talking about
00:35:39.040 much broad what is the difference between
00:35:40.800 the republican and democrat and the
00:35:42.500 broadest scope is that democrats want to
00:35:44.720 consolidate power in washington dc they
00:35:48.120 want to take as much wealth from people as
00:35:50.480 they can because they want to be the
00:35:52.180 deciders of where the money goes my
00:35:54.540 philosophy i hope it's a republican
00:35:55.920 philosophy is we want to empower
00:35:57.760 individuals when taxes are low people can
00:36:00.500 have more responsibility and accountability
00:36:02.300 with their own money and they can spend the
00:36:04.440 money where they see uh best fit and and
00:36:07.940 beyond taking care of the basics like the
00:36:09.760 military and and making sure uh roads are
00:36:12.640 built and we have public safety let's let's
00:36:14.900 return power back to the states we don't
00:36:17.080 want to accumulate power here in washington
00:36:18.800 dc because florida is radically different
00:36:20.560 than new york and they have different needs and
00:36:22.600 so i believe in the federal idea of
00:36:24.900 government that the state's rights mean
00:36:26.320 something the 10th amendment but you're
00:36:28.200 seeing i mean they always use this term fascist
00:36:30.300 you know fascism i'm sorry they don't even
00:36:34.280 know what the hell it means what the word
00:36:35.780 means that's what i'm saying they don't
00:36:37.280 realize that fascism is confiscating guns
00:36:39.880 there was a fascism is is is really limiting
00:36:43.040 the media to only be on their team there
00:36:45.040 was that fascism is consolidating power in
00:36:47.640 places like washington dc and and that's
00:36:50.260 why i'm so frustrated when they don't even
00:36:51.760 do their homework as as a former college
00:36:53.740 professor might say yeah it's it's it's
00:36:56.440 unbelievable uh that's all for us
00:36:59.040 congressman i appreciate you joining us here
00:37:00.780 today i want to give you the last word
00:37:02.540 uh your final thoughts your message to the
00:37:04.460 democrats uh on on the politics of this
00:37:07.800 entire thing and and realizing to maybe
00:37:10.280 you know open up your scope to care about
00:37:13.200 the american people you guys ran obamacare
00:37:15.800 through everyone's back because you you
00:37:17.760 apparently cared about people's health care
00:37:19.320 and everyone getting health care even though
00:37:21.100 it completely destroyed the health care
00:37:22.380 system in america uh but now all of a sudden
00:37:24.940 when it comes to women and children and
00:37:26.840 elderly people who are the most vulnerable
00:37:28.680 people this country has to offer
00:37:30.380 they don't give a damn because you know
00:37:33.160 they they're they're self-serving people
00:37:35.360 you get the last word here congressman well
00:37:37.600 the last word is simple i think we should
00:37:39.360 reopen the government it's the right thing
00:37:40.800 to do let's have the policy debate i'm ready
00:37:43.120 and willing to have this policy debate and
00:37:44.700 understand the good and bad of the of the
00:37:46.800 health care system but what i do know is
00:37:48.760 that since we've had obamacare we've seen
00:37:50.500 a radical radical increase in the cost of
00:37:53.660 health care and it's and we need to have a
00:37:56.360 new way of doing things giving subsidies
00:37:58.520 to people and more and more government
00:38:00.840 dollars to people has not solved the
00:38:02.580 problem and now let's go in a new direction
00:38:04.720 let's have a debate about it this is what
00:38:06.280 america's about but to shut the government
00:38:07.840 down is not hurting politicians it's hurting
00:38:10.700 the people who paid their taxes and deserve
00:38:13.520 to get back from what they invested in taxes
00:38:16.120 no doubt about it you're absolutely right
00:38:18.040 congressman mike haradopoulos where can
00:38:19.340 people follow you instagram twitter what do
00:38:21.360 you use we use um rep herodopoulos on i think

00:39:47.100 wanting to destroy america before we go

00:40:20.780 sad and we pray for everyone who's you know fallen victim uh to what's
00:40:27.540 happening out in the uk it's it's very sad but um just goes to show you
00:40:32.800 the democrats here want to talk about gun violence
00:40:35.520 where there's a will there's a way they'll get their hands on any weapons they
00:40:38.900 need there you go uk is the perfect example of that
00:40:41.780 kelly song welcome back we've missed you we appreciate you uh we've got a
00:40:46.900 comment in spanish which i'm not gonna i could speak decent spanish but i'm not

00:40:54.860 jeffries and the rest of the democratic party don't get paid while the
00:40:57.860 government is shutting down over jen on youtube
00:41:00.180 yeah it doesn't matter if they're getting paid or not jen because the truth of
00:41:03.640 matters is they got their nasty 401ks and their nasty stock accounts which uh
00:41:09.020 you know has millions of dollars and millions of dollars so they can they can
00:41:12.600 just live off the uh residuals there they don't they don't have to worry like
00:41:16.420 the average a hard-working normal american
00:41:18.940 um who's gotta pay 900 over 900 a month
00:41:23.700 for health care dems equals commies they hate the usa you are absolutely right and
00:41:29.840 for someone who's not even american to realize that you're a very very smart
00:41:33.660 man finn bar straford tapper had the opportunity right there to actually be a
00:41:38.600 journalist and he took the pass yeah he was uh i guess semi um he was semi
00:41:44.560 honest he just didn't he didn't pounce on him when he should have you're
00:41:47.760 absolutely right but at least he was sort of honest the fact that uh it's pre
00:41:52.760 uh trump level spending which they're passing in the cr
00:41:56.360 g wi-fi i get nervous when you put comments g wi-fi because i don't read them beforehand and
00:42:02.460 sometimes you write some pretty funny stuff that will get me in trouble jeffrey's will
00:42:06.940 probably be pulled over by the oklahoma highway patrol for
00:42:09.720 icde wearing a supremo while driving an 18 wheeler
00:42:14.900 oh boy that's great uh let's see over on facebook laurie and the people
00:42:21.400 who do this are commie wannabes something they will live to regret yeah
00:42:25.080 uh this is what we've been talking about um
00:42:28.600 with these democrats who are just going as far left as possible i believe they're
00:42:33.080 on an implosion mission but i think it's what's needed
00:42:35.000 in order to heal america for what the democrats have done to this country
00:42:39.660 hello maga people hey fall girl we appreciate you tuning in as always
00:42:44.080 i feel terrible for the homeless and the homeless vets jan over on youtube yes
00:42:47.780 it's sad that the democrats care more about taking care of illegals than they do our homeless people
00:42:55.320 very sad a lot of them veterans too by the way strafer interesting watching the democrats
00:43:00.420 aggressively defend something they told voters wasn't actually happening yeah
00:43:04.120 they said that there was no health care for the illegals or
00:43:07.560 this or that for the illegals or they were taken away from women and children
00:43:11.320 somehow um they've decided this is the hill uh that they're gonna go ahead and die on and
00:43:20.320 all the all the more to them we appreciate them continuing to give us more elections
00:43:26.820 roger over on facebook we the people are maga trump is got uh sorry a terrible vision
00:43:33.480 trump is god's trump card to relive the suffering of his people couldn't agree with you more
00:43:39.640 the drones in new jersey were not aliens that was chris christie ordering mcdonald's for breakfast
00:43:45.840 lunch and dinner do wi-fi told you you get me in trouble here man with some of these
00:43:52.500 oh it's great bill over on facebook democrats are thinking that making ice and other federal law
00:43:59.880 enforcement agents work without pay will affect their performance don't be fooled wanting to save
00:44:04.960 health care for everyone you're absolutely right and that's the point i think we tried to
00:44:09.020 get across to the people tonight ice is still working full force the democrats are going to lose and
00:44:16.400 they're losing on messaging i promise you i talked to mark mitchell every single day about the polling
00:44:21.660 republicans are losing on democrats are losing on the messaging they are absolutely losing on the
00:44:28.840 messaging wake up idiots from stefano over on facebook
00:44:33.980 uh let's see uh speaking of thieves in congress pelosi's net worth is over 300 million omar is a 30
00:44:47.120 million and aoc is now a 20 million all on the base salary of 170 000 a year yeah that's uh that's not
00:44:55.300 bad i would say that is really not bad i i i wish i knew how to do those returns on investments because
00:45:03.500 it's truly it's truly impressive some of the returns on investments uh that these democrats
00:45:09.960 are able to get i mean they even have hedge funds absolutely in all uh let's see
00:45:15.460 let's see here we go we've got an opposing view which we don't shy away from here on the great
00:45:22.180 american show lauren over on youtube republicans have the majority in every branch of the government
00:45:26.980 most people know the shutdown isn't the democrats fault well i'll get back to that but the gob should be
00:45:32.320 able to trick people who live in the sticks and the old folks homes that's not true lauren the fact
00:45:37.680 of the matter is is the republicans passed a continuing resolution they passed it overwhelmingly
00:45:42.980 in the house and they passed in the senate you have a 60 vote threshold over in the senate which means
00:45:50.220 you need seven democrats to come along they didn't get those seven democrats every republican with the
00:45:56.440 exception of rand paul voted in favor of and john fetterman jumped over to vote with the republicans
00:46:02.280 so it has nothing to do with that the republicans have pushed through these bills they push through
00:46:09.520 continuing resolution to fund this thing for another month or so to get the ducks in order to get
00:46:14.660 something finalized the democrats are the one so do we go nuclear here i guess we'll find out what
00:46:20.680 john thun wants to go or or how how much longer he wants to let chuck schumer implode
00:46:25.400 natural man king all congress fake wealth gains should be clawed back from them back to the 1980s
00:46:33.040 they got it by corruption yeah it's time to investigate the that's one thing that's really
00:46:39.460 like mind-blowing to me is how lenient members of congress and presidents both on the right and
00:46:46.220 the left have been on members of congress and their stock trades i mean you look at some of the trades
00:46:52.880 these people are doing and it's and it's on both sides dan crenshaw is one of the biggest
00:46:57.860 republican traders of of them all when it comes to stock trading and nancy pelosi on the democratic side
00:47:06.100 i mean you got so many democrats but um every member of congress and every you know president
00:47:14.280 has been like hesitant to look into these people i don't know what it is donald trump as far as i'm
00:47:19.940 concerned doesn't own any stocks i think he owns cryptocurrency and eric trump came out and said the reason
00:47:25.100 why they got so invested in cryptocurrency was because they got debanked back in 2020 when the
00:47:30.160 democrats went rogue on everything and i think it's a brilliant idea you can't debank somebody who's got
00:47:36.220 millions of dollars in cryptocurrency but i don't think donald trump i may be wrong but i'm pretty sure
00:47:42.420 donald trump does not own any stocks so maybe he'll be the first president to go after these people
00:47:49.280 gold went up 40 this year still rising yeah gold and silver have both been on tears finbar and uh
00:47:55.640 i think it's because it's a physical commodity that people could actually own and they can hold and
00:48:00.140 you know it'll always be work whatever it's worked uh gold's never going to go to zero and silver's
00:48:06.180 never going to go to zero so in the times of high inflation and all this government uncertainty i think
00:48:10.300 that's you know probably uh a good thing to to hold on to all right let's get to one or two more final
00:48:17.460 comments before we wrap up here folks and like i said i always appreciate you guys tuning in i hope
00:48:21.600 trump fires everyone of biden's dei hires he created fake positions for them so they can get paid for the
00:48:26.460 useless gender studies and ethnic studies crap degrees yeah president trump says those are the first
00:48:32.560 people that he's going to be going after so uh we look forward to it this is the government cleanup that
00:48:37.960 we've long long yearn for and we've long needed that's all for us folks tonight here on the great

00:49:19.960 much deserved we're playing the red socks so it's a it's a very very very uh big rival that a big
00:49:27.380 rivalry that we uh we need to uh we need to win and put to rest let's take two more here uh strafer thank
00:49:33.680 you john for pointing out the truth to the liberal all we can do is point them in the right direction
00:49:38.760 if they do their own research we might win them over that's exactly the mindset that i have every
00:49:43.260 day i want democrats to watch the show i want liberals to watch the show and no not to tell
00:49:47.660 them they're dumb not to hurt their feelings for them to open up their eyes which i think i've done
00:49:51.760 for you know a decent amount of people at least in my life who were close to me uh over my years of
00:49:57.800 being in politics and it's not been a strong arm operation it's been just me opening up
00:50:02.900 people's eyes to it i'll never forget i brought my best friend who's a lifelong democrat because of
00:50:07.500 his parents um my best friend since grade school i brought him with me to the trump rallied msg
00:50:12.440 and we're sitting there and you all remember tony hinchcliffe the comedian who came up and told us
00:50:17.480 about the floating pile of garbage puerto rico the whole joke within minutes of that coming out there
00:50:24.200 was a new york times headline trump's got a racist xenophobic anti-semitic blah blah blah going on
00:50:30.600 msg right now you're never going to believe it and i showed my buddy this headline i said
00:50:34.760 this is what we've been dealing with for the last eight nine years is fake fake news i said if you're
00:50:42.960 not sitting here right now knowing what's going on here you're going to read this headline and think
00:50:46.760 that this is like a clans meeting happening at msg meanwhile it was just all peace and love and
00:50:51.860 people were so happy to be there to watch president trump so back to your point straight for i've tried to
00:50:58.440 open up people's eyes and i hope i'm i'm doing a good job at it because uh you know all it takes
00:51:03.840 is one and then one and it compounds kelly song thank you john i may not be around tomorrow night
00:51:10.140 have a great weekend folks we'll see you back here tomorrow for the great america show truth justice
