E57 Redistricting

Yeah, so it's been a long time.

This was the longest shutdown in government history, which it funny the second longest was also from Trump's first term and that they both happen in a similar way different points of elections But Democrats are so desperate now that they did it before the midterms.

So in the past, when they did this government shutdown, I think it was for 30-ish days.

That was because they wanted to pump up the base to get back to majority for the midterms.

And now they did the same thing, but even worse.

Snap benefits, like, okay, we can have a conversation about that.

I'm not all for that.

But they also wanted to...

Get a 1.5 trillion dollars for health care is the way that they claimed it.

It was not for United States citizens health care.

Some of it would have been, but the majority of that money and you can they'll say it doesn't happen.

You can go look at state laws like New York.

Where they actually have written into their health care bills in the state.

that a lot of that money was going to go to would be given to illegals for their health care for, quote, emergencies.

But let's be honest, they probably used it on everyday-type health care, too.

So they wanted money out of it, right? That's one thing they wanted.

They didn't get that part.

Sam mentioned this before the show, that they did get the main thing was to turn their base up.

And so that was a lot of it.

But I am proud, I'll give credit where credit's due, that the Republicans did not let them put the one and a half trillion in there.

What makes me mad is all the lies that were being told in the media, how the Republicans have the majority.

So it's on us that the shutdown's happening.

And it's just so simple that when a filibuster is in play, you have to have 60 votes.

There are 53 Republicans in the Senate.

That means we need seven more votes.
