Joining us 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,240 this afternoon on the Peak Calendar Show, Brianna Kramer, reporter 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,280 over at Carolina Journal dot com, joins us. Branda, thanks 17 00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:57,439 for the time you were just at this press conference 18 00:00:57,479 --> 00:00:59,560 down at the GA. What is the Rains Act and 19 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,880 why is it relevant to our listeners this afternoon? 20 00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:06,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, nix, So the Rains Act is being discussed 21 00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:10,680 this afternoon in Raleigh at the North Carolina General Assembly. 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,719 It was in the House Regulatory Committee this morning and 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,560 it did pass through, and then state legislators just held 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,359 a press conference one hour ago talking about the Rains Act, 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,959 which has been filed now in both the House and 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,319 the Senate, and leaders are going to push this forward 27 00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:31,200 together in both chambers, so very good likelihood that this 28 00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,120 is going to be a big push in the next 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,560 couple of weeks. So really what they are trying to 30 00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,760 do with the Rains Act is kind of have a 31 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:44,719 little bit of more authority over the executive branch in 32 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:48,560 North Carolina and really the different rules and regulations that 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,760 come out of the Council of States Offices that the 34 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,319 General Assembly doesn't necessarily have control over, and there's like 35 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,319 some big regulations that can come out of the executive branch, 36 00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:05,760 and they want to be able to monitor these rules 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400 and put some checks and balances in place to kind 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,240 of rein in on the executive branch. 39 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,039 Speaker 2: At Representative Alan Chester held the press conference this afternoon, 40 00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:18,319 and this is how he explained it to North Carolinians. 41 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 4: The people of North Carolina deserve to know what regulations 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,960 cost them, especially when they're affecting their day to day lives. 43 00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:28,319 Doesn't matter if you live in Murphy Maneo or the 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,840 greatest county in the state Nash. This bill requires agencies 45 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:37,439 to quantify those costs and explain why they can't quantify them. 46 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,240 We understand that some of these things are hard to explain, 47 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,319 but it does not mean we don't make an effort 48 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,840 to explain to the people why we're doing what we're doing. 49 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,280 This allows for robust public debate and preserves the regular 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,960 legislative order. This is not a power graph, to be clear. 51 00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:59,599 It's returning power to the people and their representatives. Polling 52 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,120 shows that this idea has strong bipartisan support, and for 53 00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:07,639 good reason. It's about trust, transparency, and accountability. I urge 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,840 my colleagues and the General Assembly to support the nc 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,439 Rains Act and give North Carolinians the oversight that they deserve. 56 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: Talking about the oversight that they deserve, brand it looks like, 57 00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:20,159 as I'm reading this legislation, for things coming out of 58 00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,039 the Executive Branch, or really any member of the Council 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,159 of State that has an economic impact of over a 60 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,039 million dollars over a twelve month period, there would be 61 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,520 some sort of review process for that. Walk us through it. 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,199 Speaker 3: Yes, it's really interesting they were describing why this is 63 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,560 necessary in the state government, and they explain that we 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,439 have roughly one hundred and ten thousand regulations in the 65 00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:46,000 state of North Carolina, and they have a really high 66 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,240 success rate of going through the executive branch, around a 67 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,240 ninety eight percent success rate of just getting approved through 68 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,840 the regulatory process that just exists within the state government. 69 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,919 And so this really inhibits taxpayers and the citizens from 70 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,840 kind of being represented by their state legislators when they're 71 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,599 trying to hold someone accountable for the rules that affect 72 00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:12,759 our everyday lives. And so they kind of took that 73 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,439 into consideration and wanted to put in some kind of 74 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:20,480 restraints on anything that could have an economic impact of 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,439 over one million dollars. And so the check that they 76 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:29,720 are proposing is having the General Assembly give them an 77 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,000 approval arm within the regulatory process of anything over a 78 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,319 million dollars. And so the General Assembly would have a 79 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,639 role to play in creating government regulations. 80 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: Well, and obviously you know that we talk about two 81 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,879 different things, and we've talked about this a lot on 82 00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:50,199 the Carolina Journal News Hour. You have regulation and then 83 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,600 you have laws, and laws go through the process of 84 00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:55,959 the General Assembly through the various committees. Most of the 85 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,279 time there's public comment and public hearing, Brandon, many of 86 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,839 the times when we talk about these regulations that come 87 00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:04,720 out of government that doesn't go through that similar process 88 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:06,639 at all. Essentially, it's the stroke of a pen and 89 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,839 it's done exactly. 90 00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 3: And that's what they are saying is that, you know, 91 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:14,319 you have the General Assembly and everybody throughout North Carolina 92 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,399 is represented by their elected officials. But then you have 93 00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:19,800 the executive branch and you have a lot of staffers 94 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,639 and a lot of people you don't know of who 95 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,360 are implementing regulations over us, and you know that may 96 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,519 be taxing with how going through the state legislature as well, 97 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,720 and so there's really no representation right now, is what 98 00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:39,839 the Republicans are arguing. And so by giving the General 99 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:47,399 Assembly this authority, they're taking away that that lack of accountability, 100 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,120 and they're giving that to state legislators because right now, 101 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,319 any kind of regulation would go through a commission, and 102 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,000 the commission is appointed by the Speaker of the House 103 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,519 and the President pro tem of the Senate, and so 104 00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:05,480 that's not including everybody in the General Assembly, and they're 105 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,000 direct voters. 106 00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 2: Now I heard some comments and reading your story that 107 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:12,839 you had up last week over at Carolina Journal dot com. 108 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,759 Listening to the comments from Representative Alan Chesser at this 109 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,160 press conference that took place in the one o'clock hour 110 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,079 this afternoon, he mentioned that this is not a power grab. 111 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,920 Is that what's being claimed by some folks on the 112 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,800 political left, that this is an attempt by the Republican 113 00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:31,000 led General Assembly to grab even more power from the 114 00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:32,560 governor and the executive branch. 115 00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: Yes, and that's actually what I was discussed during the 116 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,959 committee meeting this morning. There was a little pushback. It 117 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,040 didn't pass unanimously because they had some Democrats not in 118 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,079 support of this, and one of the main reasons was 119 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:49,399 Democrats saying that you're actually creating burdensome and problematic extra 120 00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,800 layers that get in the way and calling it, of 121 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,639 course a power grab because it really is going to 122 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,439 reign in you know, Josh Stein and Democrats in the 123 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Council of State. But what Republicans said to that was 124 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,879 that you actually have a five to five Republican a 125 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,879 Democrat representation and Council of State seats, so it's going 126 00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,600 to affect everybody. And they also said this was introduced 127 00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:15,120 many years ago when we did have a Republican governor 128 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,160 as well, so it's not really supposed to be targeting 129 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:24,079 any any political party. This is just trying to say that, 130 00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:28,079 you know, we want representation in this regulatory process. And 131 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,000 interestingly enough, it was also brought up that if we're 132 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,600 going to do this at the state level, maybe we 133 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,879 should also be doing this at the federal government level 134 00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:36,279 as well. 135 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, these regulations oftentimes can be overburdensome and have a 136 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,600 huge impact on your day to day life. Branda Kramer 137 00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:46,439 from Carolina Journal dot com is joining us this afternoon 138 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,240 on the Peak Counter Show.

Are they preserved because over time these precious 151 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,759 memories can fade and deteriorate, losing the magic of yesterday. 152 00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:33,120 At Creative Video, they help you protect what matters most. 153 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:37,200 Their expert team digitizes your cherished family moments and transfers 154 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,039 them onto a USB drive, freezing them in time so 155 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,120 they can be enjoyed for generations to come.

This all surrounds his 166 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,759 decision and his comments throughout the middle and latter parts 167 00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:26,159 of last week over this continuing resolution where he broke 168 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,519 ranks from Democrats in the House and told and requested 169 00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:34,080 his Senate colleagues to vote in favor of the GOP 170 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,039 led CR that would keep the government funded through September. Now, 171 00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:42,200 there's been many comments and many points made of Chuck 172 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,679 Schumer's decision. He was blasted immediately by both the current 173 00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:52,200 and former Speaker of the US House. You had Kim Jefferies, 174 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,600 currently the minority leader in the House, but Nancy Pelosi, 175 00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:58,799 the former House Speaker, blasting him in a comment on 176 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:03,320 social media. King Jefferies holding an entire press conference last 177 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,759 Friday to throw stones and shade at Chuck Schumer over 178 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,840 his vote and his encouraging vote for his Senate Democrat 179 00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:15,840 colleagues to vote in favor of this CR. And as 180 00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:19,840 we sit here this afternoon, he continues to face very 181 00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:23,799 sharp attacks from his party and the base over his 182 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,879 vote to advance this CR. And it's a very interesting 183 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:33,919 political predicament that Chuck Schumer is in. As we talked 184 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:38,879 about yesterday afternoon, Chuck Schumer is reading the tea leaves 185 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,360 right now on the political pulse of America. Two polls 186 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,919 out over the weekend, one from NBC News, the other 187 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,960 from CNN show that Democrats approval rating is the lowest 188 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,000 that it has ever been. In the case of the 189 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,440 NBC News poll, it's like thirty five years. They've been 190 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,919 doing the pull since the early nineteen nineties, and for 191 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,279 the CNN pulicles all the way back to two thousand 192 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,360 and six, and in both of those polls it is 193 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:09,279 the lowest approval rating ever for Democrats. And so for 194 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,360 Democrats like Chuck Schumer, King Jefferies is kind of irrelevant. 195 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:13,799 Speaker 5: Right. 196 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,879 Speaker 2: Republicans in the House don't have to work with him. 197 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,279 He is in the minority. All you need is a 198 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,000 simple majority to pass things through the House. They don't 199 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,840 have to work with him. His thoughts, his party's thoughts 200 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,279 on things in the House, for a larger part of 201 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:30,879 the issues that we'll be seeing over the next couple 202 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,600 of years, is mostly irrelevant. It just doesn't matter that 203 00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:37,000 Republicans don't have to work with the King Jefferies, and 204 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,679 they're not going to. But in the Senate, where you've got, 205 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,960 of course, the sixty vote threshold, things become very interesting 206 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,080 for Chuck Schumer. The way that it's set up right now, 207 00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,679 Chuck Schumer is the one that essentially gets to decide 208 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,120 whether things go through or not under the regular process 209 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,360 with that sixty vote threshold, that sixty vote margin, and 210 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,879 so he decided that he was going to encourage Senate, 211 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,840 his Senate Democrat colleagues to vote for the continuing resolution. 212 00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,240 Since then, he has been getting torched, as I've mentioned, 213 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,039 from his own party. 214 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 6: Now. 215 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,879 Speaker 2: He was on and making his media tour today. He 216 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,639 was on a couple of different shows. He was on 217 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,039 CBS's morning news program. He was also on the Illustrious 218 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:29,120 View program. And this first clip is from CBS this 219 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,480 Morning with Chuck Schumer going back and forth with Gail 220 00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:36,200 King over this vote and over the Democrats for the future. 221 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 6: Take a listen, Hakim and I. We have a day 222 00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:41,879 of action on Medicaid in every state, in every corner 223 00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:45,919 of the country. Democrats are talking about they're going to 224 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Medicaid centers, They're going to people who would be described. 225 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 7: And Senator Biale don't have faith in the Democrats. 226 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:52,799 Speaker 6: Well, let me say this. 227 00:12:53,919 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: Wow, Gail King roasting Chuck Schumer. Well, Senator, people don't 228 00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:04,720 have faith than the Democrats. This party is dealing with 229 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,039 a major political issue right now, where you've got individuals 230 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,039 that are not in favor and individuals that do not 231 00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:19,559 believe and do not trust their own party. And for 232 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,240 Chuck Schumer, he is in a very very interesting position. 233 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:25,039 Speaker 6: Now. 234 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 2: I heard the framing from Hakeem Jefferies that you know, 235 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,080 after all this is said and done, it's really the 236 00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:32,440 Republicans that we're going to shut down the government, not 237 00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:36,799 the Democrats. That's not going to fly anymore. This idea 238 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:40,360 of you being the party in the minority, which Democrats 239 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,240 are in Washington, d C. And you guys spiking the 240 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,519 football on Republican led continuing resolutions and blaming the GOP 241 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000 for a government shutdown, It's just not going to happen. 242 00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 6: Now. 243 00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:55,399 Speaker 2: You can preach it from the mountaintops of MSNBC, you 244 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,399 can scream it day and night on CNN, it doesn't 245 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,840 hit with the American public, doesn't resonate with them. And 246 00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:05,360 I think that's why you're seeing some of this approval rating, 247 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,960 some of these approval ratings as low as they are 248 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,440 as the Democrats continue to struggle with this identity crisis 249 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,600 that's existing right now, voters very much upset with the 250 00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:20,799 results of the election in November and not sure where 251 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,480 to go forward with the party. Schumer has postponed a 252 00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:28,000 book tour that he was supposed to be going on 253 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:34,279 due to security threats, not risks coming from Republicans or Conservatives, 254 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:41,039 risks from his own party. This is a remarkable situation 255 00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:43,759 that is unfolding publicly. And I say remarkable because I 256 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:49,200 truly mean it. Democrats fight their battles behind the scenes. 257 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,879 They work out their issues, they work out their disagreements 258 00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:57,159 behind closed doors, and they emerge a unified front. That 259 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,600 is how the Democrat Party has been incredibly sick successful 260 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,360 in their operation of government over the last couple of years. 261 00:15:04,919 --> 00:15:09,559 They've been able to have their disagreements come to consensus, 262 00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:13,519 come to conclusions privately, emerge and say this is our 263 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,519 path forward. We as Democrats are going to sing off 264 00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:19,600 of this sheet of music. Everybody's marching and walking the 265 00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:24,320 same way. This is really the first time in a 266 00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:27,519 very long time that you've seen something like this go 267 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:30,279 on in the Democrat Party. Now, if you are a conservative, 268 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,159 if you're a Republican, this is just another Tuesday, right. 269 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,240 This is very typical for the Republicans. Those fights always 270 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,799 spill over into the public and they always just turn 271 00:15:38,879 --> 00:15:41,159 into it in many cases, just a complete and total 272 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,720 laughing stock for the party, not for the Democrats though, 273 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,360 and so Schumer's facing this criticism. He's doing the TV 274 00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:54,080 tour to try and rehabilitate his image. I guess now 275 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,720 the idea is he's not going to go anywhere, or 276 00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:59,360 the idea that Democrats are going to oust Chuck Schumer. 277 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:02,840 I don't see that happening in any way, shape or form. 278 00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:05,519 But this criticism is pretty legit. And it's not just 279 00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:10,759 coming from the radical elon Omar aoc Rashida Talib wing 280 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,799 of the Democrat Party. This is coming from Hakeem Jeffreys, 281 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,399 Nancy Pelosi, individuals that have a large amount of pull, 282 00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:24,200 a large amount of influence within the operation of Democrat politics. 283 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to 284 00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:31,519 a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. 285 00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:33,799 Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of 286 00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:38,159 Asheville is your connection.

As Democrats continue to set their 307 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,880 sites in on Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority leader in 308 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,880 the United States Senate, over his decision late last week 309 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,279 to vote for the Republican led Continuing Resolution that has 310 00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:03,119 sparked an encl credible amount of outrage amongst Democrats. You 311 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,839 had to Keem Jefferies, Nancy Pelosi, and many other Democrats 312 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,680 calling out Schumer in his decision to vote in favor 313 00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:14,279 of the CR. And as I was mentioning before the break, 314 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,400 Chuck Schumer is in a really tough spot right Hakim 315 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,559 Jeffries can say whatever he wants from the House, his 316 00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:22,200 opinion and what he does in the House is irrelevant. 317 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,400 Republicans have the majority, and as long as they stay together, 318 00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:29,160 as long as Republicans work together, what the Democrats want, 319 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,720 what the Democrats think, what they care about, it's for 320 00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:35,039 the most part pretty irrelevant. It doesn't really matter what 321 00:18:35,079 --> 00:18:38,480 they want to do. He's got control of the Republicans 322 00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:42,279 rather have control in the House, so it's kind of irrelevant. 323 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,119 And so that puts Schumer in the Senate in a 324 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,319 very very precarious situation. Does he stonewall everything that the 325 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,400 Republicans want to do and deal with the negative media 326 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,880 press of which there will be for things like a 327 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,559 government shut down, or does he step across the does 328 00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:05,039 he work with his colleagues in the United States Senate. 329 00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:08,160 Does he attempt to work with the Trump administration to 330 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:10,759 get something done? Now, of course it's not going to 331 00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:13,680 be everything that the Democrats want, but they're in the minority. 332 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,400 And so the report this morning is that he had 333 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,720 to cancel a book tour that he was planning due 334 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:25,200 to security risks and security threats. As Democrats are setting 335 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,319 their sites in on Schumer and there were reports of 336 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,079 mass protests that were set to take up at these events. 337 00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:37,920 Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, our favorite Barista Democrat representative from New York, 338 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,039 called Chuck Schumer and his decision a betrayal of the 339 00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:47,119 Democrat party. Also went on to call it quote a 340 00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:52,720 huge slap in the face, brutal for Chuck Schumer. Definitely 341 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,440 the largest political backlash that he's received from his party 342 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,160 thus far. Seven oh four or five seven eleven ten 343 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,519 is our studio hotline. That's seven oh four or five 344 00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:06,160 seven oh eleven ten. Let's head on over the line. 345 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 6: One. 346 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,519 Speaker 2: Chris is hanging on the line this afternoon. Chris, you're 347 00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,559 on the Peak Counter Show with Nick Craig. Good afternoon. 348 00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 5: I'm really digging you Nick here, You're a great addition 349 00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:17,079 to the family here. Even though I'm partial to Jason 350 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,079 Lewis where he'll fill them sometimes, still you're a great 351 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,680 So anyway, let me get right down to it. In 352 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,079 relation to Schumer's reason reasoning for voting, was he correct 353 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,759 when he said that Trump would have more power than 354 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,000 he would have right now? Was that true? He's like 355 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:40,400 he's saying he could cut down whole groups of things. 356 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,519 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's true. 357 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: Or was that just a The claim that Schumer made 358 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,960 was in his justification to the public and to his 359 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,559 Senate colleagues, was that if we shut down the government 360 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:56,119 by not voting for this cr we give Trump more power. 361 00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:57,680 And I think there's some truth to that. 362 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,599 Speaker 5: Okay, good, okay, So kind of the party's kind of 363 00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:04,119 messed up. So let me let me what it really 364 00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:06,240 quickly explained? Kind of the play I kind of see 365 00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:08,799 here in relation to kicking the can down the road 366 00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:12,519 continue resolutions and stuff like that. So what I saw 367 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,359 is Trump comes in and doge and there's two things 368 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,640 going on with those. There's stopping current payments near the 369 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,240 end of the last Contunion resolution in November whatever it 370 00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:29,440 was December, and then also the savings of the payments 371 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,599 that hadn't been made, right, So so we have the 372 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,759 promise of the future, no spending, and then we have 373 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,240 money in the bank for surplus, a little bit of surplus. Right, 374 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:43,440 So when when you get to the Cotunga Grace Resolution 375 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,200 th September, we have a humongous surplus at this point 376 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:51,319 in time, and then at that point in time, we've 377 00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:54,960 seen what can be cut and we get a full 378 00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:00,759 through budget from the Republicans. And is that what I 379 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,680 see is that we get a big surplus on top 380 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,680 of being able to now we need reconciliation. I don't 381 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,000 know if that implies that we what we do with that. 382 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:13,119 If we give it's just a simple majority, we win 383 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,400 in that too, right, Yeah, And I mean. 384 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:19,759 Speaker 2: I think yeah, And Chris, I appreciate your calling and 385 00:22:19,799 --> 00:22:22,000 I really appreciate your kind words. It means a lot. 386 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,559 I think what you laid out there is pretty spot on. 387 00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:27,440 I mean, let's be honest with this. I don't think anybody, 388 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,759 myself included, I'm not a fan of continuing resolution. I mean, 389 00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:34,240 the idea that our government has to operate under CRS 390 00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:40,720 constantly is incredibly frustrating. However, with this guy being in office, 391 00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:44,279 Trump at this point in time, less than two full 392 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,960 months and already dealing with a government shutdown, it would 393 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,400 be incredibly tough for Trump to continue with any of 394 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,440 his agenda, with any of the agenda that got him 395 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,440 the massive electoral victory that he had in November, with 396 00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:01,240 the government shutdown. Now, from Schumer standpoint, when he makes 397 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,720 the argument, we've got more leverage, we've got more power 398 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:06,680 with the government open than closed, I think he's right 399 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,200 about that on two fronts, both from the physical elements 400 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,480 of the government and the second part of it, from 401 00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:16,559 the perception of it. This government shut down, if it 402 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,000 did happen, would have fallen exclusively at the feet of 403 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,160 Senate Democrats, a party that, as we saw over the weekend, 404 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:30,119 is struggling big time as it relates to their polling 405 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,720 and trust from their own voters and from the American 406 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:37,279 public as a whole. So this idea that you're going 407 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,680 to go in vote or vote against the cr and 408 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,720 shut down the government and then what make demands of 409 00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:48,119 the administration try and win favor with the American public 410 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,920 When you just voted to shut down the government, it's 411 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,119 too pronged. There You've got the physical part of shutting 412 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,880 down the government, and then you've got the public perception battle, 413 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,720 which is a very important piece of this equation. And 414 00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:04,880 I think, if anything, the public perception is probably a 415 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,480 large reason why Schumer changed his tune earlier last week. 416 00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:10,079 He was I'm not going to vote for a CR. 417 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,440 I'm not going to vote for a CR, to then 418 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:14,680 saying now, oh, we've got to vote for this thing, 419 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,119 and he himself and nine other Democrat senators in fact, 420 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,559 came along and it passed with sixty two votes. Government 421 00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:25,119 is open and funded until September, and you've got Democrats 422 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,880 spiraling out of control about this very issue. I've got 423 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,319 a clip from CNN last night with Scott Jennings, who 424 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,039 is just phenomenal on their late night show, going back 425 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:39,559 and forth with a Democrat lawmaker from New York about 426 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,440 the continuing Resolution. I'll have that coming up here in 427 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,240 just a few minutes. I'm Nick Craig, host of the 428 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,480 Carolina Journal News Hour on WBT, in for the Great 429 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:52,160 Pete Kallaner a Newstock eleven, ten ninety nine to three WBT. 430 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 431 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,440 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 432 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,559 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 433 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:02,640 me say get your news from multiple sources.

And now you've got Schumer who's 457 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,680 having to cancel book tours. He's taking heat from Hakeem Jefferies, 458 00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:29,200 Nancy Pelosi, AOC, a lot of big time names and 459 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,359 very influential people within the Democrat Party. Now, this was 460 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,680 a bit of a discussion last night on CNN. Scott Jennings, 461 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,039 in his typical form, was battling back against the liberal 462 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:45,039 hosts and panelists on the CNN Show last night. Take 463 00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:47,000 a listen to this back and forth exchange. 464 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 8: You know, the proposals they're bringing are horrendous enough for 465 00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:52,920 us to do that, and we should do that. 466 00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 7: What's a fright us about the CR It continues putting 467 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,240 in the government that it is a cut. 468 00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:01,599 Speaker 8: No, yes, it is if you do not if you 469 00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:07,160 do not consider the cost of doing business, if you 470 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,519 do not consider that the cost of living, for example, 471 00:27:10,519 --> 00:27:12,519 has gone up, that everything has gotten. 472 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 7: Now you're changing it's not a cut, you're being a. 473 00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:16,759 Speaker 2: Cut and I appreciate Scott Jennings calling him out there. 474 00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:20,400 That's typical Democrat reframing an argument. They claim, oh, it's 475 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,400 a cut, and instead of arguing the point as to 476 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,680 why it's cut, he goes, well, everything is more expensive, 477 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,640 so it's like a cut. Typical Democrat reframing of an 478 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,440 argument when you call them on their nonsense, it is a. 479 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 7: Cut, continues government at the same levels. It's not a cut. 480 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,279 You voted to shut down the government. You voted to 481 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,880 lay off every veteran in the federal government. You're making 482 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,640 a passionate plea for why Democrats didn't shut down the government. 483 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,440 And now Chuck Schumer can't even have a book tour 484 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,240 because Democrats are so enraged that the government was And 485 00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:53,319 I'm just confused because last week I was told that 486 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,240 people going and expressing their First Amendment rights was part 487 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,759 of their democratic and civic duty, and now Chuck Schumer 488 00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:04,960 can't even have a book. Actually think that that Democrats 489 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,000 are in agreement with you in the sense that they 490 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,839 probably think Chuck Schumer should, yes, exactly. 491 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 9: Take the weeks ago show up, and take the show 492 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,799 up and take the l as a well, no one's 493 00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:16,920 saying he can't have its. 494 00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:18,559 Speaker 2: Guy show up and take the l You mean show 495 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,519 up and be harassed by Democrats and have threats of 496 00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:24,119 violence thrown against him and his family. It's not showing 497 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,039 up and taking the al. He doesn't want a radical 498 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,440 leftist mob threatening to kill him showing up and add 499 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,279 his book tour. I don't think that's a realistic framing 500 00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:33,599 at all. 501 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 9: He can do whatever he chose to, but once again 502 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:38,799 another example of him deciding to hide. I would love 503 00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,000 for him to go on the book tour so that 504 00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:42,839 he can answer the questions of the American people. Security 505 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,200 risk perhaps may be true according to what Abby has 506 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,720 said and what his office is saying. 507 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,279 Speaker 7: Who would be the security risk though I don't know who. 508 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: And the Democrats I don't know who the security risk 509 00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:57,000 could be. You mean maybe the same people burning tesla's 510 00:28:57,039 --> 00:29:00,279 throughout the United States right now. Maybe some of the 511 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,799 same cast of characters that were chanting about how much 512 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,559 they love Hamas the Iranian backed terrorist organization on college 513 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:12,039 campuses last year. You know, the deranged left that loves 514 00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:15,880 burning cities to the ground, threatening violence against their political opponents. 515 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,720 You think maybe those are the individuals that might have 516 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:22,799 shown up to Chuck Schumer's book tour to voice their 517 00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:26,839 concern and of course, you know Democrat. Oh, he's got 518 00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:30,200 to take the l he's got to face the American people. 519 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:35,000 He's got to face his voters, a crazy radical leftist 520 00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:37,279 mob that hates him now because he didn't vote to 521 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:41,559 shut the government down. No, thanks, great work there, Continuing 522 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,680 from Scott Jennings, all. 523 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: Right, that'll do it for this episode.
