1
00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:07.639
Take my beneficy.

2
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:13.640
Like you just let me eat my way.

3
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.640
Yes, yes, yes, I am changing it up. I am

4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:23.679
recording December twentieth, twenty twenty four, episode fifty four, and

5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.719
this will be the last recording before dare I say Christmas?

6
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.160
That's right, I said Christmas would be a good series.

7
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.039
I don't care. I'm not wolcome, I'm not offended in

8
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.759
saying Christmas. I'm not gonna stop saying Christmas. And I

9
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.039
wish you all a merry Christmas. I have to say.

10
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.880
If you're listening to my show and you haven't figured

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:48.320
it out by now, well, God bless you. That's all

12
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.439
I gotta say. God bless you. God bless each in

13
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.399
every one of us, because I believe that we still

14
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.640
need a bit of tradition. And if you've got a

15
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.280
giant stick up yours and you're offended by the words

16
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.200
merry Christmas, which stand four and have for so long

17
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:12.359
in America, as a day of spreading goodwill, peace to all,

18
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:18.519
happiness and spending time with friends and family and coming together,

19
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.719
then there's no pleasing you. I don't know what to

20
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.640
tell you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There's nothing I can

21
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.920
tell you. That's going to make your day. But the

22
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.599
best you can do is shut your mouth and let

23
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:39.920
other people enjoy themselves and come together and allow America

24
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:46.040
to just have a few days of just peace and quiet.

25
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.159
Just give us that. You can go back to your

26
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.680
whining and jumping up and down and screaming about you

27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.640
know how much you're offended later, but right now, Merry

28
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.480
Christmas to all, Happy Friday. As I said, Happy Friday.

29
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.920
Thanks to everybody who listens to me. If you're a

30
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.599
first time listener, thanks for stopping by, please like, follow, subscribe,

31
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.360
and share the show with others. That's all I ask.

32
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.080
And because this is kind of a pre Christmas show,

33
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.919
we do have presence. We have as the American people

34
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:19.319
received a giant present in that crazy pork filled omnibus

35
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.800
slash c our bill that was trying to get pushed

36
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.199
right through the door right under our noses, just packed

37
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:36.120
full of tremendous amounts of spending and ridiculousness. But before

38
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.120
I move forward, being that this is the morning time

39
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.199
and it's a Friday, I would assume that you're probably

40
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.439
not at work today since it is the last Friday

41
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.039
before the Christmas I'm assuming you called in sick, or

42
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:50.680
maybe you don't even want to be there, So cheers

43
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.800
to you. Now, I don't have a special beverage to

44
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.960
open pop the top, but I am neither am I

45
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.560
I mean, I will neither confirm or deny whether or

46
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.639
not there is copious amounts of whiskey within my coffee.

47
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.039
But regardless, cheers to you. Here's my big coffee. Gulp.

48
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.000
H Yeah, you know what. That's really good coffee and

49
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.479
has nothing to do with whether or not there may

50
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.479
or may not be whiskey in this cup O mine.

51
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.800
But let's get on to it. Let's move on to

52
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.639
that crazy cr bill that was fifteen hundred plus pages

53
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.840
that was just suddenly put upon everyone's desk in an

54
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.879
effort to make sure that it was voted on in

55
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.680
past so that people can go home and spend the

56
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.280
holidays with the family. You see, this is a crazy,

57
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:48.840
crazy tactic that Congress has continuously used throughout time because

58
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.960
they know nobody wants to sit there and read through

59
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.520
fifteen hundred plus pages of bullshit, and they know that

60
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:01.360
they're able to sneak in all this little nefarious crap

61
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.120
because what they do is they pull on your heartstrings

62
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.960
and go, well, look we have funding for cancer research

63
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.319
for kids, and how these cancer medications affect young children. Oh,

64
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.000
and look, we also have all this aid that we

65
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.160
want to give to people who are in need of

66
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.079
it because they've gone through a crazy, tragic disaster such

67
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.879
as Hurricane Helene. Oh and look we care about veterans.

68
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.920
Here's another few hundred couple million, which by the way,

69
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.759
should always be way more than that for a veterans.

70
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.680
But regardless, here we got this too. Oh don't worry

71
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.959
about the other shit that's in this bill though, And

72
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.639
if you don't pass it, that means you don't care

73
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.120
about kids and veterans and families in need that have

74
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.600
been displaced due to a natural disaster. You're an evil person.

75
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.000
Well not so fast there, you see. You can't you

76
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.680
can't make that statement and justify your argument based on

77
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.600
the evil that was in your own heart. And the

78
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.279
reality is this a lot of people probably know by

79
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.879
now that within this bill was also about a forty

80
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.879
percent increase in salary for the congress people who didn't

81
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.000
even take enough time to even read through this fifteen

82
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.800
hundred page bill in the first place. You know, the

83
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.759
same people that barely go to work the same people

84
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.720
that hardly ever look out for you, the person who

85
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.480
voted them into office to quite literally represent you. They

86
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.560
couldn't be bothered with any of that. But as I said,

87
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.720
we were delivered a gift. We were delivered a gift.

88
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:45.720
Upon this Christmas Eve, the bill was struck, voted new.

89
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.240
Those fifteen hundred pages were then reduced and re presented

90
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.879
to Congress, and it was voted down again. Why because

91
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.279
there was still over five trillion dollars in spending that

92
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.600
they were trying to pass through into twenty twenty five.

93
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.120
And the CR in the bill stands for continuous resolution

94
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.560
or continuing resolution. So a lot of stuff in this

95
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.519
bill was proposed previously and really should end, but they

96
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.920
want to extend the spending and allotment of funds, which

97
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.000
surprisingly most people haven't read. By the way, there are

98
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:29.639
also proposals for new spending and creation of new departments

99
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:35.240
and committees and whatnot, but most of it is continuing resolution. Now,

100
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.120
what I find funny is that they did try to

101
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.879
rewrite some of this. There's a lot, a lot, I'm

102
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.040
going to say a lot that is tied to maintenance

103
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:52.040
and infrastructure specifically, though of federal buildings and federal projects.

104
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:58.000
But within the wording there is also much there to

105
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.759
be desired, because I'll bring the SBA up for example,

106
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.720
now that this isn't part of the infrastructure allotment, but

107
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.560
there's continuing funds to be used for those who need

108
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:17.040
loans in the case of disaster relief or whatever else

109
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.519
may fall under the SB seven B. I believe it's

110
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.480
seven B, not a but B. But regardless, there is

111
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.399
also a statement in this says that those funds, those

112
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.000
funds can also, if need be, which you know they

113
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.720
always find a need, can be used to pay salaries

114
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.240
due to the increased needs to process these applications. There's

115
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:45.800
a lot of little things like that that were in

116
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:51.000
this bill. There was also more money for Ukraine, which

117
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.920
I can't verify because I personally will tell you right now,

118
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.800
I did dig through this. I spent yesterday and quite

119
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.920
a few hours in the morning going through this. But

120
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.279
there there's some funding for Ukraine to the tune of

121
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.079
over forty billion from what I've been told by other

122
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:14.000
reporters and news outlets. But I did not verify that myself.

123
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.000
So if that turns out not to be so, then

124
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.800
you can't hold that against me. Oh okay, well maybe

125
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.360
you can. I shouldn't just regurgitate what I hear. But

126
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.600
many people have confirmed and have said that that is

127
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.839
exactly what is in the bill. Other things of note

128
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.720
were large amounts of money appropriated to move a football

129
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:39.440
stadium to DC. There was immunity for the J six Committee.

130
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.799
There was misappropriations, I'll say, or well, the ability, the

131
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:51.919
ability to redirect funds that are used for social security.

132
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:57.759
There were revisions to the Pandemic Preparedness and Response that

133
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:04.080
will allow for further MASKS mandates, vaccine passports, more funding

134
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:09.080
of biolabs. By the way, under the guise of vaccine research,

135
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.200
big air quotes, there are people vaccine research. And here's

136
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.480
another one. Now not as big of an amount, it's

137
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.960
only three million dollars, but three million dollars allotted to

138
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.159
molasses inspection. That's right. Molasses. Yeah, that that stuff that's

139
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.159
kind of like honey, but it's not. It's different sugary substance,

140
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.240
syrupy thick molasses. Yes, molasses inspection, three million dollars. There

141
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.799
was also a lot of money that is allotted to

142
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.960
the Bureau of Land Management, A lot of money to agriculture,

143
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.559
but the way things were worded were almost as if

144
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.360
it was a blank check. It was very loosely defined

145
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.559
as to how this money would be awarded and justified

146
00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:00.000
for its use and who would qualify and get that much.

147
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.679
Oh oh, and here's one of my favorites that I

148
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:08.440
found that I found. So there's going to be a

149
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.200
committee that was proposed in this original bill, put together

150
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:19.720
and funded literally the United States. Yes, US, the United

151
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:26.240
States of America would have a department dedicated to literally

152
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:37.399
looking out for foreign entities and other nations who boycott Israel. Yeah,

153
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.360
that's a head scratcher. The United States was going to

154
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.480
literally dedicate resources and money to look out for good

155
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.440
old Israel, one of our allies. We were going to

156
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.399
go ahead and police everybody else in the world and

157
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.399
make them fall in line for boycotting Israel, putting our

158
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:02.039
resources behind a foreign nation to make sure that they

159
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.159
feel good and people do not treat them badly. Now,

160
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.799
of course, everybody is screaming at each other. My team

161
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.480
very so your team Democrats, like all the Republicans, they

162
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.960
don't care. They're just trying to pass tax cuts and

163
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:21.440
make sure that there's more spending that will help Donald

164
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.600
Trump and of course reposed going hold on, hold on,

165
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:29.279
you're trying to pass more funding for gender studies and

166
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:35.200
supporting biolab technologies that could be used in a nefarious

167
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.960
way in a pandemic response. And you're also trying to

168
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.080
change the language of someone who breaks the law to

169
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:49.919
a what were they called a justice involved individual. Oh

170
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:55.679
and there was also also not having to be beholden

171
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.879
to a subpoena. If you're in Congress, you can also

172
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.120
turn down obamaca and choose not to partake, but also

173
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:08.679
at the same time enhance your own healthcare. Well, the

174
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.879
millions and millions of Americans who are in need don't

175
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.559
have a choice. So I mean, is that what the

176
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.600
Democrats are talking about? Screaming at the Republicans for and

177
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.679
then and then the Republicans, I mean, they're not perfect.

178
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.320
You can't say there aren't a few people on that

179
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.159
side didn't want their pay raise. Let's just be quite honest.

180
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:32.879
But this entire cr bill is fifteen hundred plus page

181
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:37.960
of steaming pile of shit. Was never going to pass.

182
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.720
They were hoping it would. There are definitely people who

183
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.679
thought nobody would read it, and guess who they are

184
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:51.000
mad at Elon Musk. Everyone blames Elon Musk, the second president,

185
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.879
as they say, or the shadow president that nobody elected.

186
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.960
That's funny, but really, pull your head out your ass,

187
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.600
that's not what's going on here. All Elon must did

188
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.039
was bring it to everyone's attention because the media wasn't

189
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.039
going to dig into it. In fact, they didn't say

190
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.919
a word about it until they couldn't suppress the voices

191
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:17.360
of the American people on x which has become the

192
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:22.320
biggest megaphone that the American people can use to voice

193
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.080
their opinion. And once once the word got out, I mean,

194
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.720
it was as simple as Elon must have shown a

195
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:32.200
picture of how large the bill looked on a desk

196
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:37.960
with fifteen hundred pages pretty much stacked, and that got

197
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.879
people's attention, and then people started looking into say, well, hold,

198
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.000
hold on, what's in this bill fifteen hundred something plus pages?

199
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:48.120
And people started looking at and started posting, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

200
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.000
Why is Congress getting a raise? Why are we spending

201
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.919
three billion dollars to move a football stadium, Why are

202
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.639
we funding biolabs research, Why are we giving the government

203
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:01.919
more control in a pandemic situation. Uh hold on, people

204
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.080
started raising their hand and saying no. And then on

205
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:08.360
X what they did is they directly contacted their representatives

206
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:10.000
and voice their opinions, and they were like, hold the

207
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.080
fuck on, you're not you're not getting away with this.

208
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.120
You're not getting away with this, and please explain why

209
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.279
you would think this is okay. You know what that did.

210
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:19.879
It forced Congress people to actually do their fucking job,

211
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.600
thumb through the pages and realize, oh, yeah, you're right,

212
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:27.759
we can't pass this. We just can't. But of course,

213
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.960
of course the Democrats are going to go ahead and

214
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.559
they're going to start rebutton everything to virtual signal to

215
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:40.200
their to their constituents and and say, look, we try

216
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.600
to pass a bipartisan bill. But the Republicans didn't want

217
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.759
to play nice. They did everything they can to make

218
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.440
sure that that kids with cancer were hurting, and that

219
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.399
people who are in need of Medicaid didn't get get

220
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.320
their funding and and and their prescriptions, and veterans were

221
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.960
just pissed on. And people who were who were just

222
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.840
this place in a disaster, they can go fuck themselves. Really,

223
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.159
I mean, that's exactly how it came out. And it's

224
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:10.879
some bullshit there, because everything in this bill, everything in

225
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:16.120
this bill can can definitely be separated and considered separately,

226
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.679
and you can even group items. There was a lot

227
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.679
in here on health that could literally be its own bill.

228
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:25.919
They could literally take all those sections related to health

229
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.840
and welfare and make that its own bill. Anything that

230
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.720
has to do with foreign aid its own bill. Anything

231
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:38.039
that has to be related to you know, military, its

232
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.879
own bill. Anything that has to do with the administrative

233
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:46.559
expenditures its own bill. There's no reason to take everything

234
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.039
that you can under the sun because you didn't do

235
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:53.000
your due diligence to look out for the American people

236
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.399
and where our damn taxpayer dollars are going and throw

237
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:01.879
it in under one giant omnibus packet ladled with copious

238
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:09.000
amounts of gravy and molasses and just think no one

239
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.759
would pay attention. Look, those days are over. The American

240
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.840
people's spoken ever since you got to give Elon Musk

241
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.159
credit for this he lost money by an x, but

242
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.480
ever since he did so, the people's voices have been heard.

243
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:28.519
They have not been suppressed, and the politicians can't ignore it.

244
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.879
They're being held accountable not to the level that I

245
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.200
personally would like. But they are being held accountable and

246
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.159
they're realizing they can't keep getting away with this bullshit.

247
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:42.600
There are some good politicians, though, I'm going to point

248
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:47.879
to a few now, Thomas Massey. Thomas Massey predicted this

249
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:52.240
mess back in September. He knew this was coming. In fact,

250
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.000
I got a video of Thomas Massey telling everybody exactly

251
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:58.679
how it was going to go down.

252
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.200
I also predicted this would fall right before Christmas, and

253
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.079
I believe this does.

254
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.480
Fall on December twentieth.

255
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:12.559
Now, why have we picked December twentieth, Because it's the

256
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:17.720
same reason we always have December twentieth. Everybody up here

257
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.559
is human. There are no ais or robots in Congress.

258
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.920
And when you get to December twentieth, you're five days

259
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:29.680
from Christmas, You're four days from Christmas Eve, and you

260
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:31.680
desperately want to be there with your family.

261
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.519
So this is when the.

262
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.200
Leadership here has the maximum influence. And again I'm talking

263
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.599
to the Democrats and the Republicans, because you've seen it

264
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.079
on the Democrats side of the aisle.

265
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.200
They love to pick the.

266
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.640
Week before Christmas for this showdown because you can smell

267
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.920
the jet fuel fumes over at DCA. It smells like

268
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.319
Christmas that you're going to get to go home and

269
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.160
open presence. I've been in HC five when literally the

270
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.160
Speaker of the House, not the speaker we have now,

271
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.240
walks in and says, if you vote for this, you

272
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.000
can go home and unwrap presents with your kids. And

273
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:09.799
if you don't vote for this, you're going to spend

274
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:13.640
Christmas here with Nancy Pelosi. And then the chant starts.

275
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.200
Vote vote, vote, vote.

276
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:20.039
Literally, people get enthusiastic to vote for something that they

277
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.079
haven't read. So let me predict what we're not going

278
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.240
to do on December twentieth before I take a guess

279
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.240
at what we're going to do. What we're not going

280
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.720
to do. We're not going to do twelve separate bills.

281
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.319
We are not going to spend this time. We've got

282
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.119
a few months between now and December twentieth. We could

283
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.440
go back to working on appropriations bills. We are not

284
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.559
going to do.

285
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.920
This this sucker.

286
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.200
Whatever happens on December twentieth, whether it's another cr to

287
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.519
punt to kick the can down the road for three

288
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.000
more months, or whether it's an omnibus that funds all

289
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.599
of government with one bill. It's going to be written

290
00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:00.960
behind closed doors, and every lobbyist in this time is

291
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:05.160
going to try to attach their little thing to this bill.

292
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:09.039
This train is leaving the station on December twentieth. It's

293
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.279
the only one that we know is going to pass.

294
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:17.000
They call it up here, must pass legislation. So everybody's

295
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.839
going to try and get their little thing on this bill,

296
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.559
whatever it is on December twentieth, whether it's another continuing

297
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:28.000
resolution or another omnibus. It's so it's not even really

298
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:30.440
a prediction that I'm making. I'm just telling you what

299
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.039
has happened for twelve years, regardless of whether Democrats are

300
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:35.880
in charge or Republicans are in charge.

301
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.319
There may be a little twist.

302
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.240
We may do half of a CR, or it'll be

303
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.319
a whole CR, and half of it'll end in February

304
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.559
and half of it'll end in April, and they'll convince

305
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:48.920
you that got something more clever this year than they

306
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:50.160
had last year.

307
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:51.960
But it's going to be the same.

308
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:56.839
Old thing, warmed over written behind closed doors, rolled out here.

309
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:58.880
We're not going to have time to read this thing.

310
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.480
That's also predictable, and we're going to be told vote

311
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.759
for this, and you can go home and open presence

312
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.759
with your kids. Don't vote for it, and you're going

313
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.559
to be stuck here.

314
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.440
And Thomas Massey is exactly right. He's exactly right. That's

315
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.880
what is going on right now. That's exactly what happened.

316
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.920
The bill was revised because he got shot down and

317
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.559
it became a one hundred and fifty page CR bill.

318
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:23.960
And guess what happened with that one. It got shot

319
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.359
down because they found out it was still full of

320
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.759
frivolous spending. Nothing was revised to the benefit of the

321
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:37.799
American people. Now there's this whole Democrat versus Republican stance

322
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.119
on this, but it really has nothing to do in

323
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.279
my eyes, about whether or not you're a Republican or

324
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.000
a Democrat. I think that some people in Congress literally

325
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.359
still believe in America regards of what side they're on.

326
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.599
And they looked at this and said this isn't right.

327
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.000
And Thomas Massey is again correct. They always do this.

328
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.960
They slapped his giant slab of work on the table,

329
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.519
and they don't have time to even assess what it is.

330
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.559
They don't even have time to go through this thing

331
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.279
and realize what's really in it. They're just hoping that

332
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.440
due to the pressures of getting their Christmas vacation, their

333
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:17.680
Christmas break, that they're just going to blindly sign this

334
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:23.000
thing and push it through. Here's another congress person, Chip Roy,

335
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:28.680
Republican from Texas, tears other Republicans a new asshole, as

336
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:34.359
they say, and this guy gets it. He cares, he

337
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.680
cares about what's going on. And listen, I'm playing this

338
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:43.039
video right now, and I think I'm very positive as

339
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:45.039
a listener of this show, you're going to really appreciate

340
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:45.880
what he has to say.

341
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.680
I was just texting with my son back home in Austin,

342
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:51.000
who I haven't seen it in quite a long time

343
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.240
because I'm here trying to fight for him. When I

344
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.839
got through cancer about twelve years ago, I made my

345
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:58.599
promise to my kids that I would do and everything

346
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.680
I can to save this country. And what we're doing

347
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.799
right now is to continue to double down on the

348
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:09.000
things that are destroying the Republic. We are going to

349
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:12.319
increase the debt ceiling. Not just four trillion.

350
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:13.200
That's false.

351
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:16.559
We have spent four point seven trillion dollars in additional

352
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.400
debt in the last nineteen months. We're going to increase

353
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.160
the debt by five trillion dollars. That's what's going to

354
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:27.440
happen right here by Republicans increasing the debt five trillion dollars.

355
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:29.880
And what are you doing in the same bill one

356
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.759
hundred and ten billion dollars unpaid for? Because you never

357
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.079
have any ouse of self respect to go out and

358
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.359
campaign saying you're going to balance the budget and then

359
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.559
you come in here and pass one hundred and ten

360
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:49.440
billion dollars unpaid for on top of the two hundred

361
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.200
billion dollars you did for web. You guys won't agree

362
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:54.519
with that, but the fact of the matter is three

363
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:58.359
hundred and thirty billion dollars. Congratulations, you've added to the

364
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.480
debt since you were given them already again on November fifth.

365
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:06.480
It's embarrassing, it's shameful. Yes, I think this bill is

366
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:09.319
better than it was yesterday on certain respects, but to

367
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:14.519
take this bill, to take this bill yesterday and congratulate

368
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.680
yourself because it's shorter in pages but increases the debt

369
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.319
by five trillion dollars is as a nine and not

370
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.880
say precisely what Republicans are doing there.

371
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:28.519
You go see, chip Roy gets it. Chip Roy gets it.

372
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.119
Just because you reduce the amount of pages and that

373
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:38.480
fifteen hundred page bundle of pork and reduce it to

374
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.440
around one hundred and fifty pages doesn't make it better.

375
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:46.160
You didn't reduce any of the spending. And I'm gonna

376
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.759
address something here. We see, listen, we need more Chip Roy's,

377
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:52.720
we need more Thomas Massey's. Definitely. These are people that,

378
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.799
regardless of whether or not they're Republican or a Democrat,

379
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.000
get it. And they're speaking the truth here. But let

380
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:01.240
me address the debts because this comes up a lot,

381
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.000
and the US government is somehow able to get away

382
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.279
with this, but there's no way you in hell could

383
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:10.279
ever ever ever do what they do. And let me

384
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:15.160
explain what's happening here. They are literally moving the goalpost,

385
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:17.279
as they say, and if you don't understand what that means,

386
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.799
it's as if you're getting closer, you're getting closer to

387
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:26.359
that to that line, to where it's achievable or to

388
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.799
where you're going to be crossing it, and you're and

389
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:32.920
you're literally just striking that saying no, no, no, no, hold on,

390
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.880
hold on, hold on. I don't believe this is where

391
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:37.400
it's at. I think I think we should just move

392
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.440
it out there further, and they do so without taking

393
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:43.279
responsibility for their actions and where they're at currently. You

394
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:47.279
see the US literally at this point outspends their debt

395
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:52.960
is is outpacing their income. Okay, and any business by

396
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.680
now would be out of business. But let me explain

397
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.799
this much more simply. Okay, imagine you're off here here,

398
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.599
this is you, this is you, this is you. Imagine

399
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.839
yourself not saying this is exactly you. But just bear

400
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.359
with me. Here, do a little little acting, a little pretend.

401
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:17.160
Let's use the old imagination. You are one hundred thousand

402
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:22.839
dollars in debt, specifically credit card debt with high interest rates,

403
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.880
as they always are, and you decide that because you

404
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.559
make I don't know, let's say make one hundred thousand

405
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:32.720
a year. But you're in one hundred thousand dollars in debt,

406
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:39.440
and the interest on that debt is adding to your

407
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:44.640
debt ratio and your your spend to income ratio is

408
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.200
just all out of whack. No, not that makes sense,

409
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.039
but here you are. Here, you are. You want to

410
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:50.279
buy a house, a five hundred thousand dollar house, maybe

411
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:53.720
seven hundred thousand dollar house, whatever the price is you

412
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.960
are in the meeting, they're going over your finances and

413
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.960
you're sitting across from the lender. That lender is looking

414
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.359
that looking at all this debt and he's saying, I

415
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:03.960
don't know, you got one hundred thousand dollars in credit

416
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.200
card debt. You only make one hundred thousand year. Technically,

417
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:09.240
if you took everything you made, you could absolutely pay

418
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:11.640
the soot. But we know there's always other expenses in

419
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.640
life that you have to pay for. So right away

420
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.319
we know that's not gonna happen. And they're and they're

421
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:18.960
looking at us and they're telling you, I just don't

422
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:23.000
see it. Your your your your debt to income ratio

423
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.039
is too high. We can't approve this loan. And this

424
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:29.599
is the government now, so this is you. So this

425
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:33.000
is what happens. You reach out, you grab that report,

426
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:37.559
you look at it and it's a graph. You know,

427
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.000
you're looking at the graph and the table and you're like, yeah, yeah, okay,

428
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.440
so so according to this this line here, my my

429
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.480
debt to income ratio is no good. So you're not

430
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:50.119
gonna give them this loan And they go, yeah, yeah,

431
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:52.839
you know, we just can't approve it. I'm sorry, and

432
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.000
you grab a pin off the table right in front

433
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.720
of them, right in front of this person, and you

434
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.559
take it to this paper and you and you go

435
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.160
all the way to the top of the page and

436
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.799
you draw on another line and you just write debt ceiling.

437
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:09.720
And then you look at the lender in the eye

438
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:16.119
and you say, well, according to my summation here, my

439
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:20.200
analysis looks like my debt to income ratio is good.

440
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:22.680
Like I'm not even near the threshold in which you

441
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.799
would deny me alone. Now, that is what the government does,

442
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.200
and that's exactly what they've always done when they talk

443
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.000
about debt ceiling. It makes zero sense, right, it doesn't

444
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.559
make sense to me. And even you play and pretend,

445
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.880
can't play pretend enough to buy into the fact that

446
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.799
moving the debt ceiling makes no sense. You're still spending.

447
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:44.920
And then when they move that debt ceiling up, they

448
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.440
just spend more until they hit that limit, and then

449
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.839
they move it up again. They have no control. They

450
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.240
are going out of their way to abuse your hard

451
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.319
earned money, the tax dollars that they take out of

452
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:01.119
your check. They just spend so willy nilly, as he say,

453
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:05.160
and on anything they want. That they think work, including

454
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:14.400
proposing a fucking raise for them for themselves. Make it

455
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.839
make sense. Tell me how it is that this is

456
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:23.519
Elon Musk's fault for what bringing this? Bringing this to

457
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.279
the attention of the American people through the APPI owns

458
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:31.200
they call X. Are you upset that the American people

459
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:35.680
took notice and literally called you out on your shit?

460
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.880
But here's the other problem that we have with this bill.

461
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:41.599
It wasn't just all the all the pork that they

462
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.400
rolled into this, all the bullshit that they tried to

463
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:47.839
make pass through that door. I mean, you had to

464
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.279
grease this damn thing up really good to get it

465
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:53.000
to slide in there and get through that opening and

466
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.119
push it out the door to next year. But it

467
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.720
got stopped because the American people found out and they

468
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.319
made sure that they weren't happy about it. Now here's

469
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:06.799
another congressperson who let the cat out of the bag

470
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.960
and didn't vote for the second version. And of course,

471
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:15.680
let me make something very clear to everybody. I'm sure

472
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.400
most people who listen to this have an X account.

473
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.400
If you're not following me, I am at fonts Ablaze

474
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:24.559
fontes Ablaze. You can find me there and I may

475
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:28.799
say something that's pretty unpopular to the whole maga folk

476
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:32.279
out there, and you're not gonna like this because everybody's

477
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:34.319
kicking a screen about. Wow. Look, there was thirty eight,

478
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.720
thirty nine Republicans who who voted against this bill that

479
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.279
was backed by Trump and Elon U listened. First off,

480
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:44.640
it wasn't publicly backed by Trump or Elon Musk. Let's

481
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.880
just be honest. And Elon Musk being part of DOGE

482
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:55.160
who's supposed to look out for the government efficiency in spending, right,

483
00:29:55.759 --> 00:30:00.759
Department of Government efficiency is what doche stands for. He

484
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.960
went out of his way to make sure that we

485
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:06.880
knew that there was a bunch of nefarious spending packed

486
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:12.720
into this cr bill. Now a lot of people are saying, well,

487
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:15.920
he bought his way into the president's favor. It was

488
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.920
because of his spending that the president was elected and

489
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:23.880
he's just abusing his position of power. Now, before I

490
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:28.240
move on and play this video of Nancy Mace, which,

491
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:31.599
by the way, kudos to her because she said what

492
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:33.759
needed to be said. But before I do that, it

493
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.039
makes something very clear about Donald Trump. And this is

494
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.720
no way a dig at anybody who supports him or

495
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.839
who is a hardcore MAGA person. I voted for Trump, Okay,

496
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.440
I have my reasons. I think I think he is

497
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.640
the answer we needed at the time. And I don't

498
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.000
believe that he is looking out to destroy America as

499
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:59.359
many of these Democrats claim. But Trump's a smart guy.

500
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.839
Really really think that he's going to let someone else

501
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:06.799
take advantage of him like he already did that he

502
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:11.400
learned his lesson the first time around. Okay, when he

503
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:16.240
became president and was voted in twenty sixteen. In twenty seventeen,

504
00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:18.200
he's you know, he's trying to get his feel, get

505
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.160
his sea legs. As he say, he trusted people. He

506
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.880
trusted people that were supposed to be on his side.

507
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:27.240
They took advantage of him. He learned. He's not going

508
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.799
to repeat the same mistakes. You think he's not cautious

509
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.640
of Elon Musk. They're both billionaires. Elon Musk is the

510
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.759
richest man in the world. But Trump isn't stupid. He

511
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.160
didn't get where he is or got elected president because

512
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.599
he is easily taken advantage of. He's going to keep

513
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.359
Elon close and he's going to value his opinion as

514
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.759
a business person because Elon's not successful because he's an

515
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:55.079
idiot either. He's one of the smartest people on the planet.

516
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:58.599
His IQ is far beyond most anybody listening to this show.

517
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:01.880
And believe me, that includes me big time. Like I'm

518
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:04.359
not on his level. I'm not. Most of us aren't.

519
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:07.160
We don't see things the way he does, and so

520
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.279
he is definitely an asset to Trump. Another thing I

521
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:12.559
want to point out about Elon Musk and Doges Elon

522
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.599
Musk is not even receiving a salary for what he's doing.

523
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.119
Now we can say that whatever he's doing, he's trading

524
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:23.359
for favors for certain powers. But in the end, regardless

525
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:26.799
of what Elon does, whatever he does to bring to

526
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:30.160
Trump's attention, in the end will still be Trump's decision.

527
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:33.519
Is see, Elon does not have that power. He doesn't

528
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:36.759
make the decisions and the choices for Trump. Trump still

529
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.240
is his own man, and as smart as Elon is,

530
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:46.920
even Elon realizes this. So let's get off the whole

531
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:50.880
anti Elon train. He's smarter than you and me, period,

532
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:58.960
But don't discount Trump either. He's no dummy either. Okay, Well,

533
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:02.240
that being said, let's move on to this Nancy Mace

534
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:06.319
video because she says the quiet part out loud, and

535
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:11.200
I think again, we need more people like this. Mianty

536
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.000
Mace joins us tonight.

537
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:17.240
So, Congresswoman, what the heck is happening in Washington?

538
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:20.440
I sure wish I knew Jesse, but you're right. I

539
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.680
agree with you and your monologue. We've had plenty of

540
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.720
time to hash this out. This should have never been

541
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:27.839
left to the last minute. The last short term CR

542
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:30.880
we did was on September twenty sixth. We've had eighty

543
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.640
four eighty five days to figure it out. We've known

544
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:35.839
since November fifth that Donald Trump is going to be

545
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.559
the forty seventh president of the United States, and so

546
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:40.880
we've had time to figure this out. We're doing what

547
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:43.440
Washington always does, which is leave it to the last minute,

548
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.799
scare the American people with a government shutdown, which really

549
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:49.920
isn't a government shutdown, but there are lots of guardbrails

550
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.559
in place. If there isn't. Even Newt Ginbridge said today,

551
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.720
we shouldn't be afraid of one. I voted against the

552
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.039
bill tonight. It was one of thirty eight Republicans that

553
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.279
did so. Because the CR tonight spent the same exact

554
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:04.279
amount of money today as it did in the one yesterday.

555
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:06.720
Oh and while they yeah, Sam, they gotten.

556
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.440
Rid of all the electric buses and.

557
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.599
Well all the migrant money, didn't they get rid of it?

558
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:14.039
The thousand plus pages that were deleted, it's not the

559
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.280
number of pages that matters, it's what's actually in those pages.

560
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:20.159
So the thousand plus pages that were removed really had

561
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:23.679
to do with authorizations and not appropriations or spending outlays.

562
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:26.800
The actual CR in the bill yesterday and today is

563
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:30.039
only about nine pages. We all agree that we need

564
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.119
aid for hurricane victims. But my proposal is if that

565
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:36.320
we were to do this as a very short term

566
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.079
CR until President Trump is elected, get us through till

567
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.159
January twentieth. I don't want to continue Joe Biden levels

568
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.679
of spending months into Trump's presidency. Or let's do single

569
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:48.440
subject bills. Let's vote on the foreign A, let's vote

570
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.920
on farm and agriculture, let's vote on spending in the CR.

571
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:54.239
Let's do it separately. This would have been a lot.

572
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:55.840
Easier, right, I mean, but what have you guys been

573
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:58.079
doing then for the last eighty five days.

574
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.159
It's a great question. I've been filing a lot, lot

575
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:01.320
of bills legislatives.

576
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:04.639
But who's in control. Republicans have the House, right, so

577
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.000
what have the republic What has the Republican Party been

578
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.159
doing for the last eighty five days? If they leave

579
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:11.320
this to the last second and they can't even.

580
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:13.760
Agree on it, well, this is what Washington always does.

581
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.760
We've seen this movie before. It's like, it's kind of

582
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:17.079
like groundhog.

583
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.639
Day, and there you go, another another congress person speaking

584
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:24.320
the truth. But what's concerning is what Nancy may say.

585
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:25.800
They're at the end of the clip that I played.

586
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:29.840
It's like groundhog Day, and it shouldn't be, and it

587
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.840
shouldn't be. There was plenty of time for everyone to

588
00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:39.840
go to work, look at this proposed bill and really

589
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:45.079
dissect it and put something together that made sense. You see,

590
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.639
if you're an elected official working in Congress, if you're

591
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:54.239
a congress person, senator, whatever, you are, House, whatever, just Congress,

592
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.199
there was no excuse for you not to do your job,

593
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:02.599
especially when it comes to the spending of our money.

594
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.559
There just isn't. I mean, that's what you're there for.

595
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:08.679
I mean, of course, there's various other duties and responsibilities

596
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:11.480
that involve the safety and security of the United States,

597
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:21.119
but spending our taxpayer dollars uncontrollably to a point where honestly,

598
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:24.920
the United States should be in default by now. Now,

599
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:27.559
that is an extremely important thing that we can't overlook.

600
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:31.119
And furthermore, what we spend the money on is even

601
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:33.960
more important to me, because I don't want to keep

602
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.679
sending aid to two hundred countries. I don't want to

603
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:40.039
create another organization that just specifically looks out for whether

604
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:45.360
or not someone's boycotting Israel. Like, let's get our shit

605
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:49.880
together here. But listen, let's stay jolly and happy, because

606
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:54.079
this is a Christmas present, this is our pre Christmas present.

607
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:58.639
There was enough people with enough intelligence to put an

608
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:03.400
end to pass seeing another five trillion dollars in frivolous spending.

609
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.519
And that's a good thing. And just because they got

610
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.480
to sit there and work through the holidays, well, guess what,

611
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:12.440
I don't feel bad for you. You had plenty of time

612
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.320
to do your job. You had plenty of time to

613
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:18.840
do your job. There's many of Americans who unfortunately don't

614
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:22.320
get a holiday either, plenty of people working in the

615
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:24.840
service industry. I remember I used to be a waiter.

616
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.280
I worked as a waiter at a restaurant that didn't

617
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:31.400
close on the holidays, and you see plenty of people

618
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:34.719
go out to have a dinner on the holiday, even Christmas,

619
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:38.920
and guess what not everyone gets their time. So no,

620
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.199
I don't feel for you. I don't feel for anyone

621
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:46.000
in Congress because you're there working through the holiday because

622
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:50.480
of the decisions you made. This is your fault, all right, everybody,

623
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.119
that's the show. I'm going to take another big gulp

624
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.840
of my unconfirmed extremely risky laced coffee and as I

625
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:03.000
do so to take us out with a little Frank

626
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:07.039
Sinatra bells, and I'm gonna wish everybody you Merry Christmas. Sheet,

627
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:14.119
Merry Christmas to you. That's right time. Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe,

00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:17.159

629
00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:24.199
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what

630
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.159
fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

631
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:35.199
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what

632
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:39.039
fun it is to ride in a one horse open slave,

633
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:46.039
dashing through the snow, horse open slave. Good day are

634
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:52.800
the fields we go, laughing all the way, Bells on delray,

635
00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:58.480
making our spirits. Bro what fun it is to ride,

636
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:01.159
to sing and slay a song tonight
