27
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.920
Thanks for spending part of your weekend with us. Our
28
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.400
top line story this week, it's a shutdown. You want it, well,
29
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.079
it's a shutdown. You got.
30
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:06.120
On this vote.
31
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.759
The a's are forty seven, the nays are fifty three.
32
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:09.719
Three fifths of the.
33
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.319
Senators duly chosen have sworn not having a vote on
34
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:12.879
the affirmative.
35
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.599
The motion is not agreed to.
36
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.639
This week, the Senate failed to pass a continuing resolution
37
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.000
to keep the federal government open, resulting in the shutdown
38
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.960
that went and to effect Wednesday morning. Here's a summary
39
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.159
of the arguments made by Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and
40
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.400
Republican leader John Thune.
41
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.879
Donald Trump and Republicans have barreled us into a shutdown
42
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:39.879
because they refuse to protect Americans' health care. It's clear
43
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:41.680
that the way out of this shutdown is to sit
44
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.280
down and negotiate with Democrats to address the looming health
45
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.319
care crisis that faces tens of millions of American families.
46
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.479
Democrats want to avert this crisis, but Republicans tried to
47
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.479
bully us, and it's clear they can't they don't have
48
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.120
the votes. The way out of this is for Republicans
49
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.639
to finally roll up their sleeves and get to work.
50
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.840
Miss President. Democrats are well aware of the damage of
51
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.719
a government shutdown. We've heard it from them time and
52
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:18.000
time again, but apparently none of that matters to Democrats today.
53
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.360
All that seems to matter is that they're far left.
54
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.879
Base sees them fighting against President Trump, and the American
55
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:29.360
people just have to suffer the consequences. Miss Present, We
56
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.479
can end this today. There is a clean, non partisan
57
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.479
continuing resolution at the desk. It has no partisan policy writers,
58
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.400
no new Republican policies. It just keeps the government running
59
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.759
until November the twenty first.
60
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.360
Basically, the issue is this. The Republicans proposed a clean resolution,
61
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.400
no writer or anything, just a continuance of spending through
62
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.000
the next two months to keep the lights on. The Democrats,
63
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.159
like by Chuck Schumer, weren't having it. Instead, they decided
64
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.120
to make a stand for what they consider to be
65
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.879
critical health care spending on medicaid in reality, though the
66
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.759
real world is far more complex than this. The Democrats
67
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.319
are trying to score political points with their base and
68
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.120
some martial independent voters by shutting the government down while
69
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.959
framing it as the Republican's fault, because well, this tactic
70
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.720
usually works, and the GOP normally doesn't message very well
71
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.319
on this kind of issue in the past. But the
72
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.600
President himself has made it clear he doesn't want the
73
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.560
government shut down, and he's willing to make the Democrats
74
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:35.680
pay for doing this.
75
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:38.000
Shutting it down.
76
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.480
We're not shutting it down. We don't want it to
77
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.879
shut down because we have the greatest period of time ever.
78
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.040
I tell you, we have seventeen trillion dollars being invested.
79
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.000
So the last person that wants to shut down is us. Now,
80
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.199
with that being said, we can do things during the
81
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.319
shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and
82
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.160
irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out,
83
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.680
cutting things that they like, cutting programs.
84
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:01.759
That they like.
85
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.759
We can cut large numbers of people. We don't want
86
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.319
to do that, but we don't want fraud, waste, and abuse,
87
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.439
and you know we're cutting that. But they want to
88
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.519
have illegal aliens come into our country and get massive
89
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.839
health care at the court to everybody else and we
90
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.360
don't have it. And that's I would say, the number
91
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.240
one reason that they want to strike is to get
92
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:25.879
illegal immigrants health care.
93
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:31.600
Now, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries disputes that back, saying
94
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.600
that it's already against the law for illegals to use
95
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.279
federal health care benefits. Yeah, dude, that's the whole point.
96
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.560
But whatever, Donald Trump and Republicans have shut the government
97
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.279
down because they don't want to provide health care to
98
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:53.360
working class Americans. Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid,
99
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.000
the Children's Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act
100
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.879
to provide health insurance in any way, shape or form
101
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.399
two undocumented immigrants, period, full stop. That's the law.
102
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.839
And Democrats, Oh yeah, then why the hell is it happening.
103
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.240
According to Whitehouse dot gov, the administration claims one point
104
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.879
for a million illegal immigrants nationwide draw Medicaid benefits. As
105
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.120
of right now, seven states already allow for state funded
106
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:30.759
coverage of adults regardless of immigration status. California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Minnesota,
107
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.199
and hikeem Jeffreys' home state of New York Maryland allows
108
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.120
illegal immigrants to purchase health care exchange plans without subsidies.
109
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.759
Now you tell me that these states aren't also getting
110
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.439
additional federal support. Hogwash. The truth is there's another dynamic
111
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:52.240
at play. This isn't about healthcare. The Democratic leadership took
112
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.519
a political hit from their face a few months ago
113
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.319
when they kept the government open. So now Schumer and
114
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.360
Jeffreys are exposed politic do they cave to their base
115
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.160
or do they keep the government open? The ever sour
116
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.639
Don Lemon summarizes their predicament.
117
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.920
The base of the Democratic Party wants the Democrats to
118
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.399
fight back.
119
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:13.720
This is fight at the end.
120
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.160
Yeah, they wanted to fight to the end. This is
121
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.879
kind of a fight for the soul of the Democratic Party.
122
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.079
So I think that they're going to They're between a
123
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.480
rock and hard place on that part of it. Whether
124
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.560
they come up with some sort of compromise or maybe
125
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.639
ten days that Chuck Schumer was saying, or whether they
126
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.360
just say shut it down. That's going to be a
127
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:29.160
tough one for the dimmer.
128
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.279
Yes, yeah, I hear you on that.
129
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.800
Yeah, yeah, See, it's not about healthcare at all. The
130
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.319
Democratic base needs energy ahead of nix year's midterms, and
131
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.120
this is what they came up with, generated based off
132
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.240
of what happened last time around. Plus, Chucky Schumer is
133
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.160
sweating in his boots about a primary challenge from AOC
134
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.839
for his New York Senate seat and is trying to
135
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.560
rally the wagons. It's basically common knowledge now, even though
136
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.480
the main players deny it, and there's still the possibility
137
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.759
she's running for president not Senate. But Chuck is right
138
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.040
to be scared, and AOC is not doing anything to
139
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.160
tamp down the rumors. Chris Hayes on MSNBC asked her
140
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.879
about it directly on Wednesday.
141
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.439
Let me ask you this. There are some people I
142
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.480
have seen who have the following theory of why we
143
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.639
why Senate Democrats have not cut a deal where they
144
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.959
give eight votes and you know, move, move along. And
145
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.160
that is that Chuck Schumer is worried about a primary
146
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.680
challenge from you and is worried about the politics to
147
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.519
his left flank, and so because of that worry about
148
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.480
a primary challenge, he's going to shut down the government. Ergo,
149
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.960
it is AOC's fault that the government's shutting down, or
150
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.879
that you're somehow the kind of full crumb of this.
151
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.600
And I want to just ask you straight up, like,
152
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.399
are you planning to primary challenge him? Do you think
153
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.279
that's why he's doing this?
154
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:52.159
This is so not about me in this moment. This
155
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:57.120
is about people being able to ensure their children. And
156
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.639
I will say because I saw some senators speculating about this,
157
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.120
and I saw some Republican members of Congress saying, oh, well,
158
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.919
if we have this shutdown, it's because of AOC. Well,
159
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.919
if that's the case, my office is open and you
160
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.480
are free to walk in and negotiate with me directly.
161
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.360
Well, she didn't exactly deny it, did she. She may
162
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.799
sound like she's speaking rhetorically, but I don't think for
163
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.759
a minute she's not relishing the prospect that some Republican's
164
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.799
doing just that she wants to be seen as a
165
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.840
key leader within the party, even if other leaders like
166
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.440
Pelosi are covering for her.
167
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:32.240
She is she driving that.
168
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.399
Why are you saying such a ridiculous thing.
169
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:36.559
I'm just quoting what AOC said.
170
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.919
She said, go to her office directly. Do you think
171
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.320

227
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.519
We're just trying to turn a nickel in to what time.
228
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:54.679
That's the bottom line?
229
00:13:55.279 --> 00:14:10.879
Can even We're back with that the bottom line.
230
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.080
I'm Jeff Lewis. When we left off, we were listening
231
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.080
to Democrats defend their position on the shutdown. There's a
232
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:21.080
superficial claim that this is about healthcare, notwithstanding quotes are
233
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.759
scrutiny shows us this is really about a power struggle
234
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.480
within the Democratic leadership. That's why, as we heard before
235
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.519
we went to break, Nancy Pelosi was so adamant on
236
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.080
deflecting away from AOC and back towards Hakeem Jeffries. Pelosi
237
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.679
doesn't want AOC looking like she's running things because Pelosi
238
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.360
wants her friend and Governor Gavin Newsom to be the
239
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:44.679
next president. Now the guy I really believe does need
240
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.519
to be the next president. Jd Vance spoke at a
241
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.720
press conference about the shutdown and on healthcare. Here. He
242
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.919
is quick to delineate that the shutdown in healthcare are
243
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:57.080
two very separate issues that the administration is willing to
244
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:57.639
talk about.
245
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.480
What we've said to the Democrats is that we're willing
246
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.799
to have a conversation about how to ensure that Americans
247
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.440
continue to have access to healthcare, and frankly, they should
248
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.440
have access to better health care at a lower costs.
249
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.840
We inherited a mess of healthcare systems in the Biden administration.
250
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.720
It's why the President has worked so hard on the
251
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.080
Most Favored Nation status for prescription drugs. It's why we
252
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.600
care so much about lowering the costs of prescriptions and
253
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.519
why we're doing everything else. We're willing to have that conversation,
254
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.960
but I think it's important to bracket the healthcare policy
255
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.840
conversation because it's separate from the government shutdown. We think
256
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.000
that we can open the government and then have the
257
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.080
conversation about what best health care policy to fit the
258
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.879
needs of the American people. That's all we're trying to do.
259
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.240
That's all we're trying to accomplish. We've got to reopen
260
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:41.720
the government.
261
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:42.039
First.
262
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.759
Notice that Vance talks about health care, but that he
263
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.360
flat out rejects the notion that the issue is somehow
264
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.960
linked to the government functioning. Do you want to talk
265
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:55.720
about healthcare Democrats? Fine, come back to work now. This
266
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.240
was the end of a response to a question asked
267
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.159
by RCP White House course Phil Wegman to the Vice
268
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.279
President about President Trump's comments that we aired in the
269
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.480
first segment. We include them again partially here, But notice
270
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.279
that the premise of the question is twofold. That the
271
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:16.399
media consensus is both that the shutdown is the Democratic's
272
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:20.440
fault and actually a political opportunity for the Republicans.
273
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:24.320
You laid out a lot of the pain and problems
274
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.840
that would come with a democratic shutdown, and yet in
275
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.679
the Oval Office yesterday, the President said that a lot
276
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.799
of could could come from a shutdown.
277
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.840
We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible,
278
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.759
that are bad for them and irreversible by them, trim
279
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:41.600
the budget to a level that you couldn't do any
280
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:42.039
other way.
281
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:47.200
So square that circle is, which is a Democratic caused
282
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.759
crisis or a Republican opportunity for reform.
283
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.720
Well, I think all the President is saying, phil is
284
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.879
that he wants to make sure the American people's government
285
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.519
functions as well as it can despite the fact that
286
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.519
we're in a shutdown. We're going to have to make
287
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.440
things work, and that means that we're going to have
288
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.519
to triash some certain things. That means certain people are
289
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.519
going to have to get laid off, and we're going
290
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.640
to try to make sure that the American people suffer
291
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.359
as little as possible from the shutdown. That's what the
292
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.839
President is saying, is that, yes, this is a bad thing.
293
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.640
Obviously the President is trying to reopen the government, but
294
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:16.160
we're going to make things work as well as we
295
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:16.880
possibly gain.
296
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.839
The Vice President went on to excoriate the Democratic position.
297
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.119
Notice that it's fans out here giving this presentation, not
298
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.480
President Trump that should tell you about the future this
299
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.079
administration has planned for the Vice president. Listen to how
300
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.440
well he frames the Republican response to the Democrats shutting
301
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:35.119
down the government.
302
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:36.599
It's number one.
303
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.720
Democrats say that they care a lot about lowering health
304
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:43.160
care costs, and yet when the President took historic action
305
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.839
to work with the drug companies to lower prescription drug prices,
306
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:48.839
the Democrats did nothing to help us. In fact, we
307
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:50.920
would have loved to have the Democrats helping.
308
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:51.599
Us, but they didn't.
309
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.400
They talk about doing something, they don't actually do the
310
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:56.759
hard work of making it happen. What they have done
311
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.920
instead is to shut down the government because we won't
312
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:02.319
give billions of dollars to health care funding for illegal aliens.
313
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.400
That is what has actually happened.
314
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.079
To the American people who are watching. The reason your
315
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.960
government is shut down at this very minute is because
316
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:13.160
despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Congressional Republicans
317
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.519
and even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government,
318
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.920
the Chuck Schumer, AOC wing of the Democratic Party, shut
319
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.599
down the government because they said to us, we will
320
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.440
open the government, but only if you give billions of
321
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.039
dollars of funding for health care for illegal aliens.
322
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.880
That's yeah, it is ridiculous. But Democrats stopped the sanity
323
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:36.079
charade years ago. But as Vice President Vance explains again,
324
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.880
it was never really about health care. Here, he directly
325
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.440
calls out Chuck Schumer for acting purely out of political desperation.
326
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.279
I think a lot of Americans are asking themselves why
327
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.519
did this happen? Why did the Democrats shut down the
328
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.640
government despite, as Caroline said, voting on the exact same
329
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.119
piece of legislation six months ago. And there are a
330
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.000
lot of different spins that we can put on it,
331
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:57.839
a lot of different answers that we could give all
332
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.160
of them. True, one answer I already gave is that
333
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.480
they want to give health care benefits to illegal aliens.
334
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.319
That is true.
335
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.599
They gave us legislative text that would have undone us
336
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.519
cutting off health care benefits for illegal aliens. That's one
337
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:13.079
of the things that they asked for. But the reality here,
338
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:15.519
and let's be honest about the politics, is that Chuck
339
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.960
Schumer is terrified she's going to get a primary challenge
340
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:23.759
from Alexandria Ocassia Cortez. The reason why the American People's
341
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.279
government is shut down is because Chuck Schumer is listening
342
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:29.720
to the far left radicals in his own party because
343
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.519
he's terrified of a primary challenge. So I'd invite Chuck
344
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.880
Schumer to join the moderate Democrats in fifty two Senate
345
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.359
Republicans do the right thing, open up the People's government,
346
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:42.039
and then let's fix health care policy for the American people.
347
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:46.720
Despite the leadership being shown by Trump and Vance in
348
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.279
refusing to be held hostage by the Democratic demands, it
349
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.319
seems that Schumer and the liberal Democrats are dedicated to
350
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.640
going down this road. They're putting their own political futures
351
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.640
ahead of the country. But that's nothing new. Question is
352
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.799
how does this all play out with the American people.
353
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.680
Will they hold Democrats to account or will they drink
354
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.519
the kool aid being offered by the legacy media networks.
355
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.160
The RCAP podcast discusses it here.
356
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.680
It does seem like Republicans have the upper hand in
357
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.519
the messaging wars.
358
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:18.640
Democrats just need to.
359
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.720
They are unified and keeping preventing this bill from going
360
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.279
to the President's desk, and so they are the obstacle
361
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.799
to keeping the government open. I think that's pretty pretty
362
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:28.920
plain and clear to everybody.
363
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.960
Well, it should be clear to everybody, Tom, but it isn't.
364
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.079
And the polling shows that more people blame slightly more
365
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.200
blame Republicans than Democrats. And I was curious about why
366
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.440
that is. My inbox was filled with dozens of emails
367
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.640
today in identical language. The DNC, all the Democratic leaders,
368
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:54.039
democratic candidates for Congress, the Republicans shutdown. I mean, it's arwelliant.
369
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.319
The Republicans have a bill to keep the government going.
370
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.640
Democrats vote against it while breaking boasting that they're doing
371
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.160
this to protect Medicare and the vulnerable people from healthcare.
372
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.640
Democrats want it both ways. They say we're doing this
373
00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:13.680
on principle, shutting the government down to protect these healthcare subjecties,
374
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.039
and then turn around say, but the Republicans shut it down.
375
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:20.079
And despite all the drama, what's really being shut down. Honestly,
376
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:22.480
a lot of government agencies are still open.
377
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.160
The Post Office is open, the VA, the IRS, the
378
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.839
National Parks, the Smithsonian student loan billing, so the bills
379
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.799
are going out. Social Security is open, the FAA. Anyway,
380
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.279
you get the idea. It's possible, or is it possible
381
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.359
that what makes this government shut down different is that
382
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.599
the government is largely operating as per normal.
383
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.279
So it sounds like, if you want to visit Yellowstone
384
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.119
National Park, it's still going to be open. If you
385
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.720
want to go on vacation, all the parks will still
386
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.400
be there. If you're drawing Social Security, still going to
387
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.119
get your check. I'm sure we'll survive. Jean's here after this.
388
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.000
Turn a neickel into a dive.
389
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:11.160
That's the bottom line. We're just trying to turn a
390
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.799
nickel into a dime. That's the bottom line.
391
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.680
Welcome back, everyone, Welcome to this edition of That's the
392
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:24.039
bottom line. And what we referred to is today's dirty
393
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:29.880
little secret. New fitness standards were ordered by Secretary of
394
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:37.720
War Pete hegseth as to new standards for American military,
395
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:43.000
including the top Brass, and what they're saying is the
396
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:46.839
top Brass isn't too happy about it. Some of those
397
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:51.680
shadow generals probably prefer not to get in shape, but
398
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:57.640
who knows. Additionally, no more beards permitted on the faces
399
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:03.559
of military officers, and there is an exception for Navy seals.
400
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.880
President Trump announced new requirements for top US officers in
401
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:13.160
the US military this week, and it's the beginning of
402
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:18.200
new physical fitness standards for members of the US military,
403
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:24.279
but more especially the nation's top generals and admirals. Physical
404
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:29.799
fitness requirements will be required among the top members of
405
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:34.519
the military and also the privates, So they're going from
406
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:40.200
privates up to the generals and semen up to the admirals.
407
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.599
Leading the new orders as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth,
408
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.319
as President Trump plans new standards for America's brass along
409
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:56.440
with common enlisted men in more simple terms, ladies and gentlemen.
410
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.839
Secretary of War Pete Hexson has declared an end to
411
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:09.359
political correctness, and so has Donald Trump. Within the branches
412
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:14.559
of the US military, Hexath announced new directives for troops
413
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:24.640
that include general new driller male level standards for physical fitness, Admirals, generals,
414
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:30.440
even those in combat zones or summoned to summoned to
415
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:35.119
the Big Meeting at Marine based Quantico this week for
416
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:39.920
a mass assembly and a lecture on how race and
417
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.400
gender in the military, underscoring the extent to which the
418
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:50.039
country's culture wars have emerged as a front and sender.
419
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:55.839
Agenda for a headsets PETACON even at a time of
420
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:03.240
broad national security concerns across the globe. An era of
421
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:10.039
politically correct, oversensitive don't hurt anyone's feelings, don't hurt their
422
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:16.759
leadership ends right now at every level. Heg Seth said.
423
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:25.519
He's loosening disciplinary rules and weakening hazing protections, putting a
424
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:30.400
heavy focus on removing many of the guardians or the guardrails.
425
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.680
I should say the military has put in place for
426
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:39.079
numerous scandals, and believe you me, we've had plenty of them.
427
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:45.279
Heg Seth said. This is not about, for example, preventing
428
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:50.160
women from serving, but when it comes to any job
429
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:58.400
that requires physical strength to perform in combat, those standards
430
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:03.920
must be high and gender neutral. He said. If women
431
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.319
can make it excellent, If not, it is what it is.
432
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:13.480
And if women cannot qualify for some combat job, so
433
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:16.519
be it. This is not the intent that it could
434
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:19.559
be the result. So as all of us can see,
435
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:24.519
the president is toughening up to the military forces of
436
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:30.480
the United States and making it less politically correct. Face it,
437
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:35.880
ladies and gentlemen, if you want a week military unable
438
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:41.039
to withstand the physical challenges of combat, then we lose
439
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.599
future war. There are plenty of jobs for women in
440
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:49.200
the military, but they don't have to be front line combat.
441
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:54.519
Political correctness doesn't work in the real world, no matter
442
00:26:54.599 --> 00:27:00.079
what liberal Democrats keep espousing. If anyone wants to be
443
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:08.160
protected by a disorganized, politically correct US military, listen to me.
444
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.119
It will be the beginning of the end for the
445
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:16.319
United States of America. An event the news is that
446
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:22.559
President Trump Defense Secretary Hegseth, both of them want a stronger,
447
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:28.519
more effective use US military to defend us and defend
448
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:34.000
the United States from all all foes. When he wants
449
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:39.240
us stronger, more effective the US military to defend us
450
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:45.200
from those foes, foreign and domestic. I might add by
451
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:50.440
putting the muscle where it is most needed. It requires
452
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:56.880
the strength, cutting willpower, and determination to succeed in winning
453
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:02.000
a military campaign. We do not native military that signals
454
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.319
the decline and fall of the American Republic by weakening
455
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:11.200
it from within. No good purpose is ever served by
456
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:17.279
having an untrained military force to defend our nation's interest.
457
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.559
It's a time to reconcile the decline of the American
458
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:28.359
military and put force behind a military capable of winning
459
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:34.839
future wars. That's really the bottom line, and all at
460
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:40.680
the left hoile and protest at their own peril. I
461
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:46.039
believe what Trump is doing everywhere, from enhancing the military
462
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:53.960
to enforcing the law in crime ridden cities is part
463
00:28:54.279 --> 00:29:00.240
of rebuilding and what will make America great again. Yet
464
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.759
we'll be backward. What's more, right after this.
465
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.319
We're just trying to turn ankel into a dime.
466
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:10.119

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to that's the

bottom line. You're a weekly broadcast on KOLBI that tells
500
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.880
it like it is well, we've been talking now about
501
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:29.960
in the last segment the new fitness standards for the
502
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:35.480
American military, which is certainly something long in coming. But
503
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:41.039
for decades now, when we're not talking about standards, we're
504

505

508
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:03.359
market risk when you using principal protection accounts. We do
509
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:07.279
it all when it comes to helping our clients put
510
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:11.400
money in the stock market. But we can also help
511
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:17.720
our clients gain market returns without exposing them to market.
512
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:20.920
To clients, now, I've told you this before and I'm
513
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.759
going to tell you again. To do this, we use
514
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:29.839
insured products that gather in gains without exposing those gains
515
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.680
to shrinkage or losses caused by market downturns. And you
516
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.400
know we have them all the time, up one day,
517
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.200
down the next, or up one week and down the next.
518
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:43.759
Kind of spinning your wheels on ice, isn't it. Well?
519
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:47.839
The plans accumulate, These plans that I talk to you
520
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:51.160
every week have been telling you about for decades now,
521
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:57.599
the plans accumulate over time, are available for withdrawals, and
522
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:01.160
do all the things a nest stay supposed to do,
523
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:07.160
and that is to accumulate your earnings and prevent shrinkage
524
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:11.319
caused by market downturns. I'll listen to me. I guess
525
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:14.960
there's no perfect planned, but really there is. If you
526
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:19.480
want to accumulate money for future use or allow your
527
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:23.000
four way four I'm sorry four oh one ky money
528
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:26.799

529
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:30.759

vested amounts and pre retirement accounts and put them into

principal protection. And then by the time you really retire,
533
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:46.359
you won't have to worry about another downturn on Wall Street.
534

551
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.880
being able to require sooner rather than later. Now you've
552
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:08.239
heard me talk about these plans for decades out on
553
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:11.440
this weekly broadcast, and with the Good Lord's help, I
554
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:14.000
hope I can continue to do it for the future.
555
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.880
For the foreseeable future. Life can be challenging at times,
556
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:22.239
but having available money in a nest egg will help
557
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:27.119
much more than you think. As time passes. Trust me,
558
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:31.639
ladies and gentlemen, it passes fasters the years go by,
559
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.239
and I'm sure many of you could agree with me
560
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:38.320
on that. But having a dependable nest day for future
561
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:42.280
use makes a lot more sense than one where you
562
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:47.039
have to pitch pennies as time slips by. Here's what
563
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:49.440

at all stages. I think in any event, we offer

plans at Asset Growth Associates which are designed to grow
573
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.880
over time and to do so without losing value during
574
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:35.000
market downturns. When the market goes down in one of
575
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:38.440
these accounts, you stay put. When the market comes up.
576

call us to evaluate your coverage. It's free, won't charge

you a dime. Are you worried about paying higher taxes
620
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:31.440
as you get older? Would you'd like to not pay
621
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:34.880
taxes at all on your retirement income, then maybe it's
622
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:39.239
time to get rothicized. By converting your traditional IRA into
623
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.840
a roth ira, you can pay taxes now instead of later.
624
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:45.880
It makes more sense to pay taxes on the seed
625
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:49.880
rather than the crop. Roth iras let you harvest your
626
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:53.079
money tax free. So let's see if a conversion makes
627
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:56.199
sense to you. And if you're interested in increasing your
628
00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:59.119
retirement income, come talk with us about our covered call
