And again, thank you so much for 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,559 your support. All righty, so we're going to plan see everybody, 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,719 Plan see in effect Plan C. That what's Plan C, 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,000 We don't know yet, but that's what we're doing. Okay, 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,960 Plan C for the shutting down of the government, but 13 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:52,840 not the essential workers who are basically like everybody. And 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,920 then the ones that that gets sent homent are not essential, 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,880 but well we'll pay them back to so it's basically 16 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:04,280 like a vacation for them. This is government efficiency, everybody, 17 00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:11,200 all right. So, right now, as I understand it, House 18 00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:17,239 Republicans are trying to hammer out some sort of continuing 19 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,680 resolution to fund the government for some period of time, 20 00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:28,079 not really sure, but some period of time for some 21 00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:32,760 amount of money, maybe a disaster relief bill, thrown in 22 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,040 there too, so there's a couple different components to this. Also, 23 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,359 the White House Press briefing gets under way of twelve fifteen. Now, 24 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,200 I normally don't dip into that or jip it, as 25 00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:47,079 they say in the biz, which means join in progress jip. 26 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,879 But today I feel like I might be somewhat interested 27 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:58,200 in the line of questioning that the White House Press 28 00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:05,480 Corps will choose to pursue. Namely the Wall Street Journal 29 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:11,800 report with fifty sources that said Joe Biden was basically 30 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,599 infirmed from day one. I also just saw this, haven't 31 00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:21,719 even read it yet, but the New York Post headline 32 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,879 Biden lacked energy for phone call with House Armed Services 33 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,360 Committee chairman before the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. What did I 34 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:41,000 say yesterday? I said this, like, maybe now we'll be 35 00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:45,080 able to tell the stories of what was really going 36 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,319 on in Biden world. And I remember getting some pushback 37 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,400 on that. No, no, Pete, that's not going to happen. 38 00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:56,520 They're going to still protect them, Like I'm not so sure. 39 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,919 Those are pretty big stories, and so we're gonna we're 40 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,280 to pasaki back to all of that too. But I 41 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,960 might jip it I don't know, but I got to 42 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,080 start with this continuing resolution. Well, let me see here, 43 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,360 what do I want to do? Because I was going 44 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:15,240 to start with the plan because I understood that they 45 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,599 were going to be fixing to vote. Hm hmm, twelve fifteen. 46 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,479 I call the audible and start with the Biden stuff. 47 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,520 I finished with that yesterday. Okay, we're going to start 48 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,879 with the Biden stuff. So that's see, that's how I 49 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,439 make these decisions. I have a trusted group of advisors 50 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:43,039 on this, all right, Yeah, much like Joe Biden. Okay, 51 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,599 so the Wall Street Journal, Oh sorry, I almost forgot 52 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:50,800 to mention, much like the Department of Defense forgot to mention, 53 00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:54,360 we do not have like eight hundred troops in Syria. 54 00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:58,199 We actually have just a smidge more, just a little 55 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,159 bit a tenC ween. See it's like two thousand, see, 56 00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:07,599 like more than double. But you know, Pentagon math, What 57 00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:11,479 can I say? I do? Wonder? Is this also a 58 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,279 product of not having a functioning commander in chief? The 59 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:24,800 Wall Street Journal report shows how Biden's close knit circle 60 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,959 of advisors sought to swindle the public, the press, and 61 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,439 even Biden's legislative allies and cabinet appointees about the rapidly 62 00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:44,800 deteriorating state of the president's mental health. Non compassmantis. That 63 00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:49,800 is the Latin for what we are describing here. He 64 00:04:49,959 --> 00:05:01,279 is mentally incompetent because he's an idiot. He's just gone. 65 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:06,560 Jeff Blair, writing a National Review, quotes Kingsley Amos' response 66 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,160 to being proven right about Stalinist Russia, saying, quote, we 67 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,480 told you so, you bleep in fools, except he didn't 68 00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:20,519 say bleeping. There are so many anecdotes piling up chronologically 69 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,680 and escalating despair as the lengthy expose proceeds that by 70 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:26,839 the end of the Wall Street Journal report, you are 71 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,560 left reeling with anger at the near criminal irresponsibility of 72 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:39,000 Biden and his staff. In the spring of twenty twenty one, 73 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:42,879 a national security official explained to another quote, he has 74 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:45,879 good days and bad days. I mentioned this quote yesterday. 75 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,199 He has good days and bad days. Jeff Blair says, 76 00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:55,040 I read this with a clenched fist. In spring of 77 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,600 twenty twenty one, that is to say, a month or 78 00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:03,079 so after he took all thins, our commander in chief 79 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:09,720 was already having good days and bad days. I want 80 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,120 to say this again at the beginning of his presidency, 81 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,839 Joe Biden was showing visible signs of major mental decline. 82 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,839 All of this was concealed from the world, and this 83 00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:34,480 guy ran for reelection. What in the world. This is 84 00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,240 the biggest scandal the presidency has ever seen, He says, 85 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,160 I would submit it's this may like depending on how 86 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,480 bad this was, because this is just sort of the 87 00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:48,439 first run at this kind of a story. People are 88 00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:52,639 going to be writing books about this, okay, And this 89 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,600 isn't like the olden times when it took a really, 90 00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:58,959 really long time for a lot of people to get 91 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,360 up to speed, because you know, books were the only 92 00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:05,000 way that you could communicate this stuff, and you had 93 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:08,560 a media that just would never go back and cover 94 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:13,319 this stuff. There's too much media now right. Everybody's got 95 00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:19,120 their own printing press, so you can't contain this any longer. 96 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,399 Blair says, it's the biggest scandal the presidency has ever 97 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:25,399 seen because it runs to the core of what the 98 00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:30,680 presidency is supposed to be. For practically his entire term, 99 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680 I would submit it was his entire term. Joe Biden 100 00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:38,000 has been If not non compost mentis on a rare 101 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:44,639 good day, then at least severely mentally diminished or periodically incapacitated. 102 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,319 By the way, Do you think that's why Russia did 103 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,319 what it did. Do you think that they were unaware? 104 00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:56,199 Do you think Vladimir Putipoot was unaware of the mental 105 00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,560 fragility of Biden? Do you think he didn't know that? 106 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:03,639 Do you think he doesn't have spies inside the US 107 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,800 government that would report back, like, whoa this guy he's 108 00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:15,360 out to lunch. At no point during his time in 109 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,920 office has Joe Biden been fit for the presidency? Think 110 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:23,720 about that. Think about all of the stuff that Joe 111 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,319 Biden supposedly signed off on. You would not be able 112 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,360 to sign contracts, You would not be able to sign 113 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,240 your signature to anything if you are in this kind 114 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,200 of a mental state. Yet this guy is signing into 115 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,919 law trillions of dollars in debt. That's what he did. 116 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,320 That's what he did. The withdrawal from Afghanistan, the forgiveness 117 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,600 of Oh, hang on a second, we got news on 118 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,600 that too. Somebody in the administration is now canceling more 119 00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,000 federal student loans. Another fifty five thousand people are getting 120 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,639 ding student loan quote unquote forgiveness, which isn't theirs to forgive. 121 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,440 It isn't those bureaucrats or the administration officials. It's not 122 00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:15,399 their debt to forgive. It's ours. It's mine. I have 123 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,799 to pay that back. That's not forgiveness. That's a buy off. 124 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,120 The closest parallel Edith Wilson. That's why I've been calling 125 00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:32,759 her doctor Jilson all this time, Joe Biden, doctor Jilson. 126 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,279 That's why because what she has been doing with her 127 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,120 husband and for her husband, and instead of her husband, 128 00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:45,200 is exactly what Edith Wilson did when her husband became incapacitated. 129 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,559 She could not give up the ring. 130 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: For over a month now, I have been reminding you 131 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,039 to preserve your precious photos and slides, films and tapes 132 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,480 with Creative Video based in mint Hill.

There are not a 151 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,120 lot of people sitting in the seats at the White 152 00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,360 House Press briefing, which was supposed to start at twelve 153 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:12,320 fifteen but hasn't yet. Why are people so disinterested? Well, 154 00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:14,799 I guess because it's Christmas. Is not a lot going 155 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,720 on up up on Capitol Hill or at the White House. 156 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 3: And. 157 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,639 Speaker 1: No no big stories to respond to, no breaking developments 158 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,240 going on with like government shutdowns or anything like that. 159 00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:28,759 So I guess it makes sense that people wouldn't be 160 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,200 very interesting. I'm sure it'll fill up. Oh, I'm sure 161 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,080 it'll fill up. So the White House Press Briefing we 162 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,519 are waiting, and when it starts up, I will I'll 163 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,000 be sure and bring it to you if I can. 164 00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,519 Got a message from Steve who says, Pete, I and 165 00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:49,639 many others already knew that the cheese had slid off 166 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,440 of Joe's cracker before he took office. I am mad 167 00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:58,480 as hell. Yeah, same, I've been saying. I've been saying 168 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,519 this for the entire duration of Joe Biden's term. It 169 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,200 has gotten worse and worse and worse. And honestly, the 170 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,000 gaslighting over the four years it did make me question 171 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,360 whether I was reading too much into stuff or whatever. 172 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,080 But I remember seeing these same signs, these same symptoms 173 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,679 when it was my grandfather. So I knew what I 174 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,879 was looking at, and half the country knew what they 175 00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:31,480 were looking at, and probably more than half the country, 176 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,000 but we were being gas lit. Ace of Spades. Ace 177 00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:47,960 of Spades HQ is the website on the new found 178 00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:54,399 you know, focus of the press Corps about you know, 179 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,879 the mental abilities, the cognitive acuity of the incoming president 180 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,879 or of the president or he says yeah, we're yeah, 181 00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:06,879 we media really let Biden lie and lie and take 182 00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:09,720 foreign money. But we'll correct that by getting tough on 183 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,879 who's coming in here, Oh, that's right, a Republican. That 184 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,759 is always the game they play. They have the blinders on, 185 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:23,000 they're sniffing the throne, and when it's a Democrat and 186 00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:27,440 then incomes a Republican and it's like, we are truth tellers. 187 00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:32,360 We are firefighters rushing into the blaze of democracy in 188 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,759 order to save the people. They claim that they are 189 00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:41,279 a new kind of journalist. They would never have covered up, 190 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:48,399 you know, powerful people lying like Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson 191 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,759 is the historical parallel to Joe Biden. His wife Edith 192 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,960 concealed from the public the stroke that Wilson had had 193 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,159 in nineteen nineteen. She acted as de facto president for 194 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,159 the rest of his term, and her incompetence destroyed the 195 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,159 effort to ratify the Versailles Treaty in the Senate, ensuring 196 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,960 the failure of his internationalist legacy. Much the same could 197 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,960 be said about the historically disastrous economic, immigration, and international 198 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,440 policy drift of the Biden era, as might as might 199 00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:28,480 well be expected from a president who began his term 200 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:32,240 already asleep at the wheel. That's what the Wall Street 201 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,080 Journal has uncovered that a lot of people already knew, 202 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:43,240 way too many people knew for the entire tenure of 203 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,320 his presidency.

He understands the 219 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,200 Congress works. He's been around for some time. He understand 220 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,679 what strategy works here. 221 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,279 Speaker 1: It doesn't. 222 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 4: This done so This is. 223 00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: Not this is not the first time that we're running 224 00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:42,440 the fact that you would. 225 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,279 Speaker 4: About the president and his outreach. I just mentioned he made. 226 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,639 Speaker 1: The fact that you would get up there and say 227 00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:52,679 this stuff after that Wall Street Journal report is just astounding. 228 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,919 The level of huzba, as they say. 229 00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:56,879 Speaker 4: But this is the mess. 230 00:15:56,799 --> 00:15:58,559 Speaker 5: That was created by Speaker Johnson. 231 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:00,399 Speaker 1: Oh stop needs to fix this. 232 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 5: That's what the American people need to be very clear about. 233 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,639 Speaker 1: Now. Very clear, very clear, very clear. I'm clear, you're clear. 234 00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:08,320 The President's been very clear up. 235 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,559 Speaker 4: His side of the bargain here. 236 00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 6: You hear that message from you, But why aren't we 237 00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:13,039 hearing that directly from the president. 238 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,519 Speaker 5: Yes, we've seen or heard his president. This is a 239 00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:19,519 strategy that we have done many times before. 240 00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:22,919 Speaker 1: We're aware, Yes, we know the strategy. 241 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: For Republicans in Congress, in the House specifically to fix 242 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:32,679 they created this mess. There was a bipartisan agreement, there 243 00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:36,120 was there was a bipartisan. 244 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,679 Speaker 4: Agreement to come in front of cameras, always a bipartisan agreement. 245 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: She does not want to talk about that. Huh. This 246 00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:43,200 is a great question. 247 00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: We want to do and what we want to what 248 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:48,559 the president wants to make sure we do is he 249 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,399 stands to ready to help get a bipartisan. 250 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: Deal breaking news the president can stand to see. 251 00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 3: And you know this is something that republicankins should own. 252 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: Here, she has no other talking. 253 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 3: Point, doesn't reflect and what the deal, what that by 254 00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:13,319 person deal that they came up with, obviously with Democrats, 255 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,680 And you know they're showing Republicans are showing a disregard 256 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,079 for the American public. 257 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,039 Speaker 6: Lstly, some leading Democrats are calling Elon Musk President Musk 258 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,640 or co President Musk. What is the White Houses and 259 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,359 President Biden's reaction to this labeling of Elon Musk and 260 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,920 whether or not House Republicans are listening more to this 261 00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:35,279 billionaire than the president. 262 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: What I can say is Congressional Republicans at the direction 263 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,200 and you all know this. 264 00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:41,759 Speaker 4: You will reported this of President. 265 00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 5: Trump and Elon Musk. 266 00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 4: Are and me to pay. 267 00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: The way and me I sent stuff on Twitter to five. 268 00:17:49,519 --> 00:17:53,319 Speaker 3: Trillion dollars to Nash to our national debt. That's what 269 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,720 this decision does. I mean, you're talking about what cuts 270 00:17:57,759 --> 00:18:03,799 for billionaires, les, social Security, slashing medicare, slashing headstart, what 271 00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:07,640 are you talking? Congressional Republicans did what they did because 272 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,960 of what the President alex said. 273 00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: What is she even talking about? There's no plan. 274 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 3: That's the reality. You guys all reported this. That's why 275 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,799 we are where we are today. So this is for 276 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,799 Speaker Johnson to fix. This is the mess that he created. 277 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,920 He needs to fix this. I get a bipartisan agreement. 278 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,559 There is a bipartisan agreement. 279 00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:33,839 Speaker 1: Is a bipartisan he hits the table too much? Isn't 280 00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:37,720 that support a four bill strategy that we've seen discussed today. 281 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 5: Which can separate our cr from a pharm of extension, 282 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,440 a disasterate and with. 283 00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:45,519 Speaker 1: The President support splitting it up. 284 00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 3: And says clean bills, there is a buyer. I'm going 285 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,200 to get very repetitive here because it is true and. 286 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: You have nothing else in your notebook. 287 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 4: Partisan agreement. 288 00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:57,319 Speaker 3: There's a deal that was agreed upon and that's what 289 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,480 they need to move forward with. 290 00:18:58,519 --> 00:18:59,519 Speaker 4: And when I mean day, I. 291 00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: Mean see, this is the problem. There was a deal 292 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,359 that was agreed upon by four people, by leaders. That's it. 293 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,720 There are four hundred and thirty one other people they 294 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,839 didn't get there, or five hundred and thirty one other people. 295 00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:13,720 They didn't get all of them on board. They were 296 00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:16,440 just like here's our deal. We're going to negotiate this. Now, 297 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,599 go get your people and Johnson couldn't do it. 298 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 4: John Stevens this morning. But this is a Biden problem. 299 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:27,920 But Republicans can help solve it. They will. I imagine 300 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,559 there's goible to be some of what you just signed. 301 00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:33,559 Speaker 3: But in response to that, Congressional Republicans made their decision 302 00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:39,279 because of what the President elect said, at their direction, 303 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,400 the direction of the President elect, in the right direction 304 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,160 of Elon Musk, there was a. 305 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 4: By person deal on the table and we're moving forward. 306 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 3: The Speaker agreed to do this, to move forward with 307 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,720 the bipartisan deal, and they stop that because of what 308 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,920 the President elect said and what Elon Musk said. They 309 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,559 wanted to clear away for their billionaire friends tax cut 310 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,680 five trillion, five trillion to the national debt with tax. 311 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: Cuts, to do you spend trillions that we didn't have. 312 00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:11,759 Speaker 4: That's the reality. You've all reported this, We've seen this. 313 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: By the way, that's her hitting the desk every time. 314 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 3: What was being put out there by the President elect 315 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,799 and Elon Musk. 316 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 5: There's no hiding from that. That's the reality. 317 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: Uh And and so you know we're talking about this 318 00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:28,079 is not politics here. 319 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,319 Speaker 4: We're talking the American people. 320 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: Oh my god, she is so bad. 321 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:33,799 Speaker 4: Who need it? 322 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 3: And so political playbook said had to say what they 323 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:40,880 had to say about this. 324 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 4: Trump picked the fight. 325 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,319 Speaker 3: He picked the fight, and it was Trump well with 326 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,680 him and Elon Musk who sank the bipartisan deal. 327 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 5: You can't it's the facts or change history here. 328 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,559 Speaker 1: I love how the she just automatically assumes that the 329 00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:02,480 bipartisan deal was a good deal because it was bipartisan. 330 00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:04,839 And the fact that the process I went over this 331 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,079 yesterday right did not include any of the members of Congress. 332 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,000 It was just these as Mike Lee calls them, the firm, 333 00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:16,559 the four leaders House and Senate Majority and Minority leaders, 334 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,000 and they hammer out whatever deal they they're wanting to do. 335 00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:23,240 This was the Democrats last bite at the apple, and 336 00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:25,759 now they're crying that they're not going to get to 337 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,440 swallow it. It's like they took the bite, or they 338 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,720 were going to take the bite. Maybe they got off 339 00:21:31,759 --> 00:21:33,519 a little bit and then somebody smacked them in the 340 00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:35,200 back of the head and the spit out the piece 341 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,640 of the apple. No, they want their apple back. It's 342 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,960 a terrible analogy. I know, Caringe. Jempierre will not say 343 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,680 whether Joe Biden is going to stay in DC to 344 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,279 try to help get a deal done. She keeps saying 345 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,640 that this is Speaker Johnson's mess. There was a bipartisan deal. 346 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,599 I think she has said the word bipartisan I think 347 00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:02,640 about thirty two times at this point, saying that basically 348 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,839 they need to go back to the fifteen hundred page 349 00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:09,519 cramnibus and that's not happening. That is not happening. That 350 00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:12,480 was Plan A that went down in flames. Plan B 351 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,839 was the House running Donald Trump's idea, which was to 352 00:22:16,839 --> 00:22:20,119 eliminate the debt ceiling and just do a clean CR 353 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,480 with disaster relief, and that went down in flames. And 354 00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:26,480 so now they're working on a Plan C, Plan C, 355 00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:32,000 and I would recommend clean CR disaster relief, two different bills, 356 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,079 and then go home. Make Democrats vote against it all 357 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,240 just a continuing resolution and disaster relief, and then they 358 00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:47,920 go home. Nothing gets passed. That's all on Democrats. And 359 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,160 if the House Democrats vote for it, now you're going 360 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,519 to jam up the Senate Democrats. All right, let me 361 00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:54,160 see what she's saying. 362 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: Now, it's happening. 363 00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 3: The President looks forward to it, and we certainly will 364 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,920 have more to share as we get closer, like we 365 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,160 normally do win in Acona Strip. Should we expect domestic 366 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,039 travel for the President in January? 367 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,759 Speaker 6: Is he going to be out there doing any farewell 368 00:23:09,839 --> 00:23:12,400 speeches on policy issues in other parts of. 369 00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: The country, so nobody is asked and. 370 00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:16,039 Speaker 5: Will certainly have more to share about what January. 371 00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: Nobody has asked yet about the Wall Street Journal dementia report. 372 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:29,559 Speaker 7: Trying to ask us a different way President, the American 373 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:32,079 people really haven't heard from him on whether or not 374 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,599 the government is going to shut down. Wouldn't the message 375 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,960 hit differently if the President we're out there, this is 376 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,200 so stupid. 377 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,559 Speaker 1: This is so stupid. So you hear what they're doing 378 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,559 right there. The reporters are asking is he non compassment this? 379 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,359 But they're asking it in the frame of will he 380 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,599 come out and talk about this topic. They know why 381 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,799 he won't come out and say these things. He cannot, 382 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,720 but they don't want to put Coringe in some sort 383 00:23:58,759 --> 00:24:04,640 of awkward position. She's been lying to you, you dupes. 384 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 4: Make it harder to offshore jobs to China. 385 00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:10,519 Speaker 1: We're talking about She's still talking about the fifteen hundred 386 00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:14,880 page monstrosity Plan A that again went down in flames. 387 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:18,680 That's not going to pass, it's not being revived, and 388 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,319 they're desperately trying to cling to that as their talking 389 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,519 point after we've already gone past that where it planed B. 390 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,079 Now that got shot down last night, and so now 391 00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:31,400 they're trying to develop a Plan C, which would be 392 00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:36,279 too Simply do a continuing resolution, keep funding the government 393 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,319 right through two or three weeks a month, maybe do 394 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,119 the disaster relief without a pay for it. Would be 395 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,680 new debt, no doubt about it. One hundred billion dollars 396 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,759 we have spent. We have spent twice as much on Ukraine. 397 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,599 So make Democrats vote against this and if it doesn't pass, 398 00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:59,200 which by the way, I don't even know if Republicans 399 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,839 will all get on board with those two things. 400 00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 7: Any thoughts or feelings on the President elect and Elon. 401 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: Musk again with this, like how many different ways can 402 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,440 you ask this stupid question to get the same stupid 403 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,480 talking point answers like this is willful on the part 404 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,160 of the press corps. Here, this is willful. You just 405 00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:23,920 had fifty sources tell you that the president has been 406 00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:29,119 basically mentally incapacitated for the last four years, And you're 407 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,359 asking about Elon Musk, and you're asking about why Joe 408 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,319 Biden isn't coming out and making a speech with a 409 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:42,799 biparson agreement, the bipartisan agreement not too long ago, the 410 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:47,599 shrug of the soldiers and the pounding of them. She's 411 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,400 so bad? Has agencies? 412 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 6: Has the government started informing employees who might aid furloughed? 413 00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:57,559 Speaker 4: You know those specific posts, especially headed into the holiday season. 414 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 5: Are they being informed that they might not get their paycheck? 415 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,799 Speaker 1: So why do you think this is happening like this? 416 00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:05,039 What do you think all these reporters from all these 417 00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:07,440 different outlets, and all of them I don't see Peter 418 00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:11,160 Doocy there, but so far they're all asking the same 419 00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:15,599 question about the shutdown, Right, why do you think they're 420 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,839 doing it? I would submit this is pack journalism. This 421 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,640 is all of them not wanting to be the proverbial 422 00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:24,640 floater in the punch bowl. They're all on the same side. 423 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,799 Look at us, we're all journalists. And oh, I'll ask 424 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,519 it a different way and I'll get in a good answer. 425 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,359 And now here comes the crafting of the narrative. We 426 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,039 got to do all of these stories about the shutdown 427 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,160 and how it affects real people and all that. Eryl 428 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,519 Atkinson at a fantastic post about this very thing from 429 00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:46,119 her time at CBS during one of the other shutdowns, 430 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,640 and how they could not find literally could not find 431 00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:53,400 people to talk to that were affected by the last 432 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,359 shutdown under Obama, and so they had to like go 433 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,519 to Democrats and say, hey, can you give us some 434 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:03,160 example of people that are affected. They literally asked Democrats 435 00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:05,920 for their stories. Very easy for them to fix this, 436 00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:07,799 It's not very easy to fix. 437 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,839 Speaker 4: Move forward, Keep your work. Republicans in Congress, keep your work, 438 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,200 keep your work. 439 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,519 Speaker 1: Nobody on China. 440 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 6: In the final month of administration, we're talking to high 441 00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:22,640 level of hawks between US. 442 00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: In China, including story. Okay, a question on China. But 443 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,640 Republican lawmakers did not promise you, Jack crap. Okay, they 444 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,480 didn't promise you anything. Mike Johnson might have made some 445 00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:39,559 promises that he would put all this stuff together on 446 00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:41,240 a bill, and maybe he promised you that he could 447 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,519 get the votes, and now he can't. That deal is dead. 448 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,200 All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you 449 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,359 so much for listening.
