The only alternative to the continuing resolution at this stage would have been a government shutdown. “It would be political malpractice to shut the government down,” Johnson said. “I think everyone understands that. Johnson warned that when the new extension expires in December, he will not support a massive, catchall bill to fund the government, referred to as an omnibus, so another stopgap may be needed that would allow the new president and Congress to have the final say on fiscal 2025 spending levels.

[00:00:25] Alright, happy to have you along my fellow Americans.
[00:00:28] Sam Bushman Live on your radio hard hitting news that I refuse to use.
[00:00:32] No doubt continues now.
[00:00:34] The news cycles that continue them that just never seems to end.
[00:00:38] This is the broadcast for September 26th in the year of our Lord,
[00:00:42] 2020.
[00:00:43] This is our one of two in the Gulf all ways to protect life, Liberty and property,
[00:00:47] to promote God-family and country and the news on your radio.
[00:00:50] In the traditions of our founding fathers using the Supreme Law of the Land,
[00:00:54] the Constitution of the United States of America, that is our goal,
[00:00:57] that is our guide, that's who we are, what we do if it's God-family and country. We love it.
[00:01:02] Welcome to the broadcast, hope you're all doing absolutely fantastic.
[00:01:05] And I might add, man, I don't know what on earth the government's doing but they are out of control.
[00:01:11] Pete SEP with us today, ladies and gentlemen, President of the National Taxpayers Union,
[00:01:18] NTO is the voice of the American taxpayer, mobilizing elected officials and citizens
[00:01:26] on behalf of tax relief and reform, NTO that's the National Tax Pasion, NTO.org.
[00:01:32] I'm not usually fond of unions because they're forced unionism. I don't believe in forced anything.
[00:01:37] Nevertheless, I do like the NTO because they don't believe in forced. They're just a good group
[00:01:41] of folks doing a phenomenal job partnering with people all the way for the local level,
[00:01:45] all the way to the even the world level, believe it or not. They help leadership or provide
[00:01:49] and help with leadership around the world even, helping people understand the proper
[00:01:54] of appropriate taxes but nothing more, nothing less. Pete SEP, welcome to Liberty Round
[00:01:59] Life Center. Always great to be here. All right, I don't know how to start this discussion but
[00:02:05] here it is. Congress approves short term spending bill to avert a government shutdown
[00:02:13] New York Times in a quote, pair of votes in quick succession. I guess they moved to keep
[00:02:20] government money flowing through December 20th and they left the bigger spending fight until
[00:02:25] the year. The Senate vote was what 78 to 18 I think it is. The House approved the bill in a,
[00:02:33] let's say 341 to 82 deals so it was a pretty big overwhelming vote for about 80 Republicans
[00:02:41] voted against in the House not remaining in the Senate but yet the Democrats all partnered with
[00:02:47] Mike Johnson to pass it before we let you come in on this one last little tidbit that I think was
[00:02:54] interesting. The only alternative to the continuing resolution at this stage would have been a
[00:03:01] government shutdown. It would be quote political malpractice to shut down the government. Johnson said,
[00:03:09] I think everyone understands that. Anyone understand? Won't be voting for a big,
[00:03:13] underless spending bill by the end of the year what I'll probably do is work on another.
[00:03:18] Kick the ball down the road and let the 20 25 folks deal with it. I like it to say as shame on
[00:03:25] Mike Johnson, shame on the Democrats, shame on most of the Republicans, shame on them all ladies and gentlemen,
[00:03:31] this idea that we can just continue to kick the can down the road will never work right when they
[00:03:37] reduce interest rates and we think the economy is going to get better. This clown show happens.
[00:03:41] I can tell you as folks we have got to have people that understand responsibility. Pete SEP,
[00:03:47] your thoughts? Well, putting taxpayers first and foremost at the beginning of this year would have
[00:03:55] been the best start we could have had to a discussion that, well, might have yielded budget
[00:04:01] process reform, might have yielded more action than the passage of the house bill to extend
[00:04:09] some of the vital 2017 tax cuts. Maybe the Senate could have gotten into the act. Unfortunately,
[00:04:17] this is in your own word Sam, a clown show that we keep seeing year after year. I looked back
[00:04:24] for a history of continuing resolutions and even I was shocked that in 44, 44 of the past 47
[00:04:34] years there has been at least one continuing resolution and in some years there have been 34,
[00:04:43] five of them even more. This is a sign of failure of the budget process. I mean it's not like
[00:04:51] Congress spent the last nine months of this session arguing over budget process reform and just
[00:04:59] couldn't get a package over the line. They've been dithering over appropriations, especially
[00:05:05] in the Senate for many, many months. They have been talking about budget process reform for years,
[00:05:14] but haven't adequately moved on it. We're seeing good hearings now in the House budget committee
[00:05:20] on reforming the Congressional Budget Office. They're doing their job reporting out good bills,
[00:05:27] talking about how to put together a comprehensive package, but they're not getting to the floor for
[00:05:35] votes and advancing with enough bipartisan support that the president can't veto it. And these are
[00:05:43] problems we've known year after year and saying, well, we had no choice. Well, I suppose not
[00:05:51] given the way the clock ran down. That doesn't mean taxpayers like it. It doesn't mean taxpayers
[00:05:58] haven't seen this before. Let me tell you specifically why I call it a clown show. Not only is this
[00:06:05] happened over and over and over. I get if you really have a crisis, I get saying we don't want
[00:06:10] to crash the plane. We got to have a continuing resolution resolution to give us time to work on this.
[00:06:15] But when you do this, 44 out of the last 47 years, many times, multiple times a year, including
[00:06:21] this time it's going to have to happen at least twice this year or the meltdown happens at Christmas,
[00:06:27] they always put it off-chill Christmas because hey, no one wants to deal with it at Christmas.
[00:06:32] They right now are putting it on the table because they want to go home and work on their campaigns.
[00:06:38] They've already just come back from a massive vacation and now they want to go home and work
[00:06:43] on having you elect them once again people. And this is the problem that I have with it. Now,
[00:06:47] if you came back and said listen to me, Sam, we have put a plan in place and here it is. It's really
[00:06:52] simple. If something is clearly constitutional and you can back it up with common auditing
[00:06:57] practices with every line item we spend, we have to have a justification for that expenditure.
[00:07:03] It's auditing 101. Okay, and we're going to have a documentation for each line item. They're
[00:07:10] going to be justified. Line my line in every line that has constitutional backing or in other
[00:07:15] words support legitimate spending it's going to go through immediately. Okay, every line item
[00:07:20] that does not have constitutional authority or backing or justification, we are going to put on
[00:07:25] hold until we figure it out. It may and it may not. We might need to do some research who knows.
[00:07:29] Every item that's clearly unconstitutional is off the table and not going to get fun that ever.
[00:07:34] And any item that is unconstitutional but would crash the plane status,
[00:07:39] then we will go ahead and say we're going to put a sunset provision or a reducing plan in place
[00:07:48] to where we could eventually sunset that without crashing the plane. In other words, we've made
[00:07:52] promises. We'll do our very best to keep them and so you've got four categories of reality here.
[00:07:57] And we're going to do it. And we're going to do it now. Now that would get my attention,
[00:08:02] that would be impressive and that would be the ultimate irresponsibility pizza.
[00:08:07] Yeah, I have to agree and let me say I think Mike Johnson was not handed a great set of cards here.
[00:08:15] I think he is a solid fiscal conservative. He's spoken at some of our events.
[00:08:21] He is doing his best with a very slim majority that is going every which way in a bunch of directions.
[00:08:31] I think that still we've got to establish a process here where there are enough
[00:08:37] responsible people acting early in the year to ask some of the questions and make some of the points
[00:08:46] you just did Sam. I mean, Jeb Hempserling was a member of Congress during the mid 2000s
[00:08:54] was a keen mind on behalf of budget process reforms and thought, you know, why don't we borrow an
[00:09:02] idea from my home state of Texas? He represented a district there and have a sunset commission.
[00:09:09] Why not say for every single federal program? No exceptions. There is a time limit and each
[00:09:18] say do it on a five year rolling basis 20% of the federal government each year has to be evaluated
[00:09:27] for whether it's one constitutional two actually working and three is effectively managed.
[00:09:35] And fill in the criteria with other details but have a systematic evaluation of everything
[00:09:42] the federal government does. If you don't think five years will do the job make it three years.
[00:09:50] Whatever the time frame, make sure you have something that is methodical, mechanical
[00:09:56] and becomes ingrained in the muscle memory of members of Congress like it has been in Texas.
[00:10:04] And I agree Mike Johnson is probably a good person internally. I agree that he cares about
[00:10:10] fiscal responsibility. I agree that okay, I agree with all that. I'm not here to attack Mike Johnson
[00:10:14] specifically because the problem is beyond one person. Let's be honest fair and clear about this.
[00:10:20] At the same time though, Pete Sep, into you.org, I'm convinced why can't he put together a plan
[00:10:27] like I've done? People like you and others have already done the work to put something
[00:10:32] on this on the table very quickly. I agree that it would be nice to have some time for ramp
[00:10:37] up at some time for education and some time to lay out the plan and debate the plan and get clarity
[00:10:42] and I agree with all those things but at the same time I kind of said, you know what?
[00:10:47] It isn't that hard to put a plan together like that. We're going to find the constitutional
[00:10:51] things right now. We're not going to find the okay so a lot could go through by line item, by line
[00:10:56] item, by line item, by line item. And any of them that gets held up that are constitutional,
[00:11:00] you could beat them to pieces in the media and say, this is clearly a constitutional proper
[00:11:04] role of limited government funding and these people for a clown show politics have this held up.
[00:11:10] And you could push and push but you could get a lot done in a very little amount of time.
[00:11:15] And the work's been done by people like you and others to get this done. How come no one's
[00:11:19] putting a plan on the table like I am? You could say, well, Sam, your plan's just too simplistic but
[00:11:24] you're you're just kind of a, you don't really know. You know what? I've been through massive
[00:11:28] audits. I do understand, and then I do know what it takes. And I do know how when you when you have
[00:11:33] line items that you have to justify before the auditors get to approve them, you've got a rail letter
[00:11:38] of intent or a letter of you've got to justify the line item for the file. You've got to, but this isn't
[00:11:43] that hard. It really isn't. I know we want to believe it's hard, but it's not Pete. Am I out
[00:11:49] trying to hire him? Am I just too naive? Well, it's hard for a bureaucracy to want to do anything but
[00:11:56] seriously Sam, you're right in the fact that it's not rocket science because virtually the entire
[00:12:03] private sector does this every day. It's something you must go through if not to be accountable
[00:12:10] to your shareholders and to be accountable to your customers. And ironically, often to be accountable
[00:12:16] to the government itself. And you don't do it. And you don't have it together by the time it's
[00:12:22] could leave your assets and or go to jail over it, Pete. That's right. That's right. And yet
[00:12:29] taking just one example, the Pentagon, they have not been able to pass an audit of their own finances
[00:12:36] ever. And they were supposed to have begun doing so. Some point in the 1990s now,
[00:12:44] the joint chiefs of staff and others are saying, well, we might get around to it by 2028 at least
[00:12:50] a Marine Corps God bless them as made a good effort. And they're okay with their finances.
[00:12:58] They got a clean bill of health this year for the first time ever. The other services,
[00:13:04] well, they'll get around to it when they feel like it. That's the kind of attitude that we need to
[00:13:09] overcome and say, no, this is important even in the military. An army that doesn't count its
[00:13:15] sons, sons, stars. I don't know who said that first, but they were right. Amen to that.
[00:13:22] Brian Rust with us and Brian is a constitutional currency educator. And over the past 50 years,
[00:13:31] three generations of the Rust family have been working to educate customers about precious metals,
[00:13:37] free watercoin code.com. Am I making this too easy, Brian?
[00:13:43] No, you've got a right, Sam. I've been listening to kind of you and Pete discussing this.
[00:13:51] You know, my question is, and I've kind of said this over the number of years is,
[00:13:56] let's just shut the government down and see where we stand. And then obviously create a plan
[00:14:01] moving forward, but they don't want to shut the government down. I would ask maybe Pete what would
[00:14:08] what would happen if we did shut the government down? How would that work? And then what could we do
[00:14:14] going forward to, I heard some of the a little bit of the three to five years thing. But what would
[00:14:20] happen then if we did actually just shut it down? Yeah, because Johnson says there'd be political
[00:14:26] malpractice to shut it down. I agree with Brian, I think it's the thing to do Pete, your answer.
[00:14:31] Well, political malpractice is a term that can encompass a lot of things. Certainly,
[00:14:40] Washington, the entire establishment gets blamed in the mainstream media and the bureaucracy
[00:14:48] cooperates during the government shutdown to portray it as the end of civilization as we know it.
[00:14:55] First places to close are all of the museums. Oh poor school kids can't go to see their favorite
[00:15:03] exhibit. The mean old Republicans have shut down the government. Then they start saying, well,
[00:15:10] hospitals are going to be emptied. Veterans are not going to be taken care of. The military isn't
[00:15:16] going to get paid. What generally happens during shutdowns is that the federal treasury tries
[00:15:23] to prioritize its borrowing and its receipts so that some of the most important programs can
[00:15:31] continue functioning for a while. So again, a lot depends there on how long the shutdown takes place.
[00:15:39] These things are pretty disruptive. On the other hand, we need to start thinking about how disruptive
[00:15:46] federal borrowing has been to our economy. How disruptive that bureaucracies that bumble around
[00:15:54] and over-regulate businesses are to the economy and the business life of America. We got to
[00:16:01] think about how disruptive it is for families who are expecting simple competence out of their government
[00:16:08] and they're not getting it. Those things need to be taken into account too. Again,
[00:16:15] we always seem to get to this point where we have no choice but to do continuing resolution.
[00:16:22] That's the crisis of the day. Pete, we got a crisis on our hands 44 out of 47 years in a row.
[00:16:28] Multiple times a year. We have this same crisis that we seem to always put ourselves in the,
[00:16:34] okay, here's my question. Isn't it political malpractice to fund ourselves into oblivion
[00:16:39] and destroy the whole country? Well, I'm afraid that's an important question because
[00:16:45] we no longer have the fiscal space we did even 10 years ago to go on these borrowing sprees
[00:16:53] and you know, Mr. Rust can do this history far better than me but you know, when our
[00:17:00] country was on a gold standard it was way more difficult for the federal government to borrow
[00:17:06] well beyond its means because certain impacts were immediately felt in the economy when Washington
[00:17:13] got out of line. That's been a problem and there is much, much more at stake here than just
[00:17:22] three months continuation of government. Fine, no Christmas, I'm neve a spill. I would agree
[00:17:31] with Speaker Johnson about that. That's a prescription for mischief. We need to start asking
[00:17:37] though, are we going to take all of this good legislation in these good ideas off the shelf and push them
[00:17:44] now or are we going to do another three month extension? Isn't it political malpractice
[00:17:50] though to say we're going to pass it off to the next Congress in 2025 and to the next presidential
[00:17:55] whoever it be and everything else is political malpractice to just push off your current
[00:17:59] day responsibility for somebody else to handle? And if we're going to talk about political malpractice,
[00:18:04] let's go. Let's just do this. Come on. Right. I mean, some would say, okay, let's wait until
[00:18:13] there's a more advantageous conservative majority in the next Congress. Well, no, they're well
[00:18:20] we don't believe there is such a thing. That's right. And there are plenty of bipartisan
[00:18:26] budget reforms that we could be doing right now and acting right now. Why not get that head
[00:18:34] start? Whoever is in next year fine if it's a bigger conservative majority than they can pick up
[00:18:40] that slow rolling ball and make it roll faster, but roll it now at whatever speed you can.
[00:18:49] Brian? Yeah, you're very good. Good points. The issue, the issue I see is the factor
[00:18:57] we've been doing this for the last while you say 44 to 47 years and it's not working. And that's
[00:19:05] the issue I think most American people say, well it's it's not working and I get the fact of
[00:19:10] if we shut the government down it's going to hurt people but I would hope that it would also
[00:19:14] have some accountability. We've got elected officials in there. I'd like to see how many of
[00:19:20] them are voting, constitutional guidelines and hold them accountable and just stop the bleeding here
[00:19:29] because we're bleeding and I just I see no way out and I don't know if they see any way out
[00:19:35] and if we go if we look back at history we will repeating the fact of these countries don't
[00:19:41] survive and history shows they don't survive. You go back to the Roman area and so on they don't
[00:19:46] survive. So realistically our dollar power which has no power right at all we're not going to survive.
[00:19:55] And so what so at this point it's better to maybe change what's going on because we've got
[00:20:00] to stop this bleeding. And I would say this, hey Mike Johnson isn't political malpractice to continue
[00:20:08] to fund unconstitutional government. What about that? I mean these people are criminals
[00:20:14] if they fund unconstitutional government. I hate to be so bold but somebody's got to start to up
[00:20:18] this game or we're just going to be here for the next 47 years Pete. I think Speaker Johnson
[00:20:24] would agree that a lot of unconstitutional funding is going on right now and I would hasten to add
[00:20:32] if we went through the process that you outlined Sam and we went with Article 1 of the U.S.
[00:20:39] Constitution what are the enumerated powers of Congress? How are they linked to what they're
[00:20:44] funding now? Okay whatever's an enumerated power and is being funded fine. The pass muster
[00:20:52] if it's questionable well let's do what you said. Funded at the margin until we can figure out
[00:20:59] whether it's absolutely constitutional or not. Unconstitutional we're going to stop. You do that
[00:21:06] the deficit disappears. I'm pretty confident that the multi trillion dollar shortfall
[00:21:13] we have in the federal budget right now would just go away because there's that much
[00:21:19] unconstitutional funding going on in government right now. And my problem with that is Johnson
[00:21:25] if Johnson is going to pass that in two continuing resolutions and leave it for a next group of
[00:21:31] people to handle. To me he should be impeached right now he should be gone you can't do that. What if
[00:21:38] I did that as a CEO of a company hey you know I'm going to be a CEO for the next five years
[00:21:43] I'm going to continue to take my pens and they're going to continue to write me a check
[00:21:46] you know the next CEO could deal with the fact that we're underwater to the tune of a billion
[00:21:50] I'm sorry but the next CEO's got this I promise we're good let's fly anywhere Pete nowhere.
[00:22:00] Well it's all agreed a disagree on that I think Mike Johnson is a good man. I do agree those
[00:22:09] things have got to change and if that's going to take more committee heads that are willing
[00:22:16] to stick their next out like Jody Arlington the chair of the budget committee and telling his
[00:22:21] fellow Republicans stop looking the other way on deficits. Well we got to do that. He's another
[00:22:28] fellow in there who's sounding the alarm and telling Republicans they have lost their credibility
[00:22:35] on so many fiscal policy fights and they're going to have to struggle hard to get it back
[00:22:41] and Democrats have got to help lift this boat too. Hi, Grant Pete on every point that he's made
[00:22:49] Brian I just think at some point though Mike Johnson's got to be put he's got to do something
[00:22:54] though you can't just do nothing in your tenure and push it off push it off and let somebody else
[00:22:59] deal with it. I mean what if the next guy says that do we give him a pass and how long you know
[00:23:03] what point is the question Brian? Well that's a good point I agree with P2 he's doing
[00:23:09] great great knowledge there and well put you know we've looked in the past where we've had CEOs
[00:23:17] of companies they're taking their company into the ground and yet at the end the company fails
[00:23:23] people that are left jobless and now they have to come up with some kind of a new income and yet
[00:23:30] then they give the CEO a bonus of $8 million even though it's bankrupt. And we've seen that in
[00:23:36] the past and I never understood how that work if I'm the CEO and I drive my company into the ground
[00:23:42] but yet I get a $8 million bonus all those poor workers that are laid off and don't have a job
[00:23:48] and now need to find work and so on it's not a good thing enough going to where we're at now.
[00:23:55] Alright Pete, the final word to you sir I don't want to bring this up in the nutlete you have
[00:23:59] the final word go ahead my friend. Brand Paul has a great start with his new six penny plan to
[00:24:06] reduce federal spending and I think he was the smart guy in saying during this appropriation
[00:24:11] fight stop rewarding failure and we got to do that throughout the entire federal bureaucracy stop
[00:24:19] rewarding failure. God bless you Pete, sir thank you sir we'll chat soon. Take care.

[00:29:29] and for me someone who had spoken to the media and had said you know we're about reducing
[00:29:34] the number of abortions we're about prevention all these other services i was shocked
[00:29:40] she actually worked at a plant parent but give us some sense of the relative number of abortion

[00:30:38] a phenomenal job you know we had people like peat up there i don't think would have these crises
[00:30:43] on our hands whatever mean by him up there i mean his ability to literally make decisions and that
[00:30:49] kind of stuff the problem is you know my johnson i believe i agree with peat sap my johnson's probably a good
[00:30:55] moral man i don't agree with kick in the ball down the you know kick in the can down the road though
[00:31:01] okay you know what Mike you've had a year to solve this thing it's not like you're at you know you've got a day
[00:31:07] you've had a year nine months to solve this already um and kick in the can down the road now
[00:31:16] plus already indicating before you even get there three months and advance you're going to kick
[00:31:20] the can down the road to the next congress in fact you're not really going to do anything about it
[00:31:25] at some point i can't just let that pass Brian right and rest with me rest queen or uh free one
[00:31:33] free water queen code dot com sorry guys i just then ten plus years of word i just got to get this
[00:31:40] together free water queen code dot com but Brian i can't give it a pass any more though and i'm not
[00:31:45] here to attack my johnson but i am here to say this cannot continue well i agree with you Sam it's
[00:31:54] it's just it's been going on forever and i think when they when they come to this point every year
[00:32:00] every two or three time a year whatever uh we're we're going to have to shut down the government they just
[00:32:05] that's just words just just words that mean nothing anymore it's just it's just part of the
[00:32:11] the routine that we go through and and i i agree with you that i'm all about just shut it down let's just
[00:32:16] see let's wear the where the pieces fall make those accountable and say you know we're done
[00:32:21] we're done playing your game you if you you don't really think there's going to be a budget cut or
[00:32:27] balance a budget of any kind you're you you have guidelines constitutional guidelines that you should be
[00:32:34] doing this you're not doing this and haven't forever why it's like calling uh wolf or whatever
[00:32:40] and and you've done it so long we don't even trust you now it doesn't mean nothing and so that's
[00:32:45] where we're at it's that now if you had really worked on it said listen to me Sam we've broken
[00:32:51] down what's constitutional what's not we've got you know 762 bills to pass we've passed 800
[00:32:57] or i'm sorry 762 bills to pass we passed 240 of them that are constitutional we've basically
[00:33:04] shut down and here's here's the you know even when you buy a product it's like hey here's your
[00:33:09] receipt you know here's your amount of savings okay so you could say we have not spent this much money
[00:33:14] here's your savings we had a report for the american people that said since my god's took a
[00:33:18] ownership in january it's been nine months and here's the progress it made here's the money we've
[00:33:22] saved here's what's left on the table we're not going home for elections people you're just
[00:33:27] not gonna be able to to run for election right now you're not gonna be able to campaign i'm sorry
[00:33:31] the reason you're not is because you haven't done a good enough job during the tenure you were here two
[00:33:35] years as a congressman or senator or two years of congressman six years as a senator you haven't
[00:33:40] done a good enough job with your time here so i hate to say you don't get a recess you don't get
[00:33:45] go home and run for office you know that you can just tell people that your heart at work and they
[00:33:49] hope you hope that you get reelected again and it now we've worked on this now it's Christmas
[00:33:55] we will take a few days off for Christmas but we'll come back even before the year starts again
[00:34:00] to work on this thing now if they're doing that kind of stuff i would say you know what
[00:34:03] maybe a CR a continuing resolution might have a little common sense to say listen we're doing
[00:34:09] our very best we're really working hard we're giving up a lot to make this happen or if they
[00:34:14] have voted and said we're not gonna take a salary till we get something done on this something
[00:34:18] serious i would give them a lot of leeway brine but right now they're doing nothing they're taking
[00:34:23] vacations they're already signaling they've failed even before they even get their three months
[00:34:27] in advance they're kicking the ball to the next congress or the next presidency whichever you
[00:34:32] know the next whatever you want to call it not not us to decide in other words i can't accept it
[00:34:39] yeah i can't either say them it's you know by their fruits and we're seeing their fruits they
[00:34:43] don't see if they're gonna if they're going on vacation all during this they don't care about
[00:34:48] the people they don't care about anything but themselves so so how about a political report card
[00:34:53] that we can actually see you know as we go to school we've been brought up through this or so on we
[00:34:58] we get an F on a report card perhaps that's what we should be giving them is your grade is an F
[00:35:03] so you're in the room you stay in the room till you you know make some headway or improve
[00:35:10] your card or get out we're just done well and peace you get you know and they're just
[00:35:17] has to be from accountability and we have to stop the bleeding you know i like this
[00:35:23] some of these words stop rewarding failure i like you know Rand Paul those are good
[00:35:30] points and we need to we need to have these points because we're just fed up with what's going on there
[00:35:36] and they don't seem to care to prove the point even further i don't know if you know but
[00:35:40] Ron Paul's plan that that pizza called the six penny plans used to be a one penny plan
[00:35:46] but because we've got so bad and so abusive is had to raise it to six cents to keep up with
[00:35:51] the abuses and the inflation and everything else to make the point and that's why i'm saying
[00:35:55] I'm not attacking Mike Johnson but look Kevin McCarthy got a pass and passed it to Mike
[00:35:59] and you know what pizza's right Mike got a handed i really bad deal i i don't
[00:36:04] know disagree with him but so did Kevin McCarthy is so to the other guys forty four out of the
[00:36:09] forty seven years were talking about this they all got a bad deal handed to him we've had a bad
[00:36:14] deal handed to us since they took us off the federal reserve and see that's what i mean no one's
[00:36:18] having these real discussions are real conversations whereas gold by the way
[00:36:24] gold is twenty six sixty ten twenty six sixty ten k silver
[00:36:33] thirty one eighty two thirty one eighty two it's going up folks yeah a little bit right
[00:36:44] yeah all right you know he's moved this and moved that needle and so on and we're seeing
[00:36:49] they're still strengthened the metals you know and where's the money going well if the money
[00:36:54] going the fact of central banks and countries are buying gold faster than anything else
[00:36:59] you know gold's how to thirty percent increase outperforming any other benchmark investment so
[00:37:07] i mean it's the writings on the wall this is one of the issues we're we're looking at you know
[00:37:14] economy and a money that just isn't gonna hold on your your spending this into destruction
[00:37:22] i like the your your message because yeah i remember you're saying how about we we take a one
[00:37:28] percent or one cent now it's six cents i mean it's it's the writings on the wall and i don't
[00:37:34] I agree maybe they got a raw deal to been passed to them but somewhere on this path we have to stop
[00:37:42] it's just like any common sense then you have to stop and and stop the bleeding and correct
[00:37:49] even correct it so we're moving in a better way and we're not moving in a better way imagine this idea
[00:37:57] all the republicans two hundred and eight team majority forget the extras
[00:38:04] have a press release that says we have voted and the houses passed a one percent real pay cut and
[00:38:10] government not i were gonna have less of an increase lie but a real pay cut of one percent
[00:38:16] and we've passed it in the house democrat's are going berserk but we got it on
[00:38:20] the republicans took together we got it on maybe a few constitutional democrats joined us so the
[00:38:24] numbers are even greater and we passed this now we wrote a press release about it explaining we're
[00:38:29] not talking about a less of an increase we're talking about real cut of one percent it's now in
[00:38:36] the hands of the senate it was Rand Paul's plan so we know we have one senator aboard for sure
[00:38:42] it's passed the house and we're gonna put pressure on lame dot joe and clown kamaala
[00:38:47] to pass this thing now senate get it done joe get it done we will not take a recess
[00:38:55] we will not go home we will not run for election and have town halls we're just telling you that
[00:39:00] we are voting for accountability and responsibility and if you want us to continue this push
[00:39:05] elect us now and we're going to stay in Washington and we're going to try to talk people
[00:39:10] to make this happen it needs to happen now now that would be literally a five line bill
[00:39:17] or less it would be something so simple everybody in their dog could understand it and appropriate
[00:39:22] press release of two hundred and eighteen congress members will be absolutely unprecedented
[00:39:27] and the house could stand on that and say hey if you want the republicans to continue this agenda
[00:39:33] elect us now and you wouldn't need to campaign you wouldn't need to do anything you just need
[00:39:38] simply stay there and say we're not leaving we're not going home we're not running for office but
[00:39:43] if you want to remove us over this fine but we are serious about this it's got to happen it's got
[00:39:47] to happen now you wouldn't need the senate to do this you wouldn't need the president to do this
[00:39:52] you wouldn't need the vice president you wouldn't need anyone and even if you didn't get enough
[00:39:57] people to do it you could say that's what we're pushing for but what right now is Mike Johnson
[00:40:02] even telling me he's doing all he said was we funded it we had to the next one that comes I'm
[00:40:09] not going to sell out so we're going to pass it down the road again by the way we're going home
[00:40:14] to run for office will you please consider electing us because whether Republicans were the
[00:40:18] fiscal responsibility people we're going to get this done so we'll see you next fall I mean we'll
[00:40:23] see you next whatever I mean am I crazy on this or something it just seems like this could be so
[00:40:30] easy good to get the break Ryan I think you're you're right on Sam and it's so it's so frustrating
[00:40:39] that you know that's what I'm saying is the fact of I don't think they care I don't think they together
[00:40:45] they might talk the talk but they sure their actions don't show any of this and I'd love to see
[00:40:51] it wow what a great you know impact statement this would be if they would do something like this I'd
[00:41:01] love to see it now here's what's interesting I'm putting this plan together I'm just a redneck
[00:41:05] clueless talk show host man but you got Donald Trump has been the president for four years before
[00:41:12] he wants you to give him the handle again you've got Mike Johnson has been in the Republican you
[00:41:18] whatever ranks for literally years he's now the speaker of the house you've got all these people
[00:41:25] is anybody coming up with plans like I've gotten it so how can we not hear about him the only one I
[00:41:29] know that's doing that in a real sense his plans are slightly different than mine but I agree with them
[00:41:33] 100% hit probably beyond board of my plans not beyond board of his plans too is Rand Paul he's the only one
[00:41:42] yeah you're not a redneck caradia host you're right on that's why I'd love to have you put
[00:41:49] your group together of you know you let's get Pete in there with you let's get Dr Bradley let's get
[00:41:56] Sheriff Mack let's get your your people yeah but Ryan arrested charge of the treasury baby
[00:42:02] well I don't know about that but we you're you because the digital currency wouldn't you Brian
[00:42:10] I would that's the only qualifications we need right
[00:42:15] good point but okay you know your group that's all we need
[00:42:20] alright it's a shame what they're doing it's a clown show and I don't mean to be so offensive I
[00:42:25] understand Pete's hesitancy to want to take on Mike Johnson I get it and I don't mean to just blame
[00:42:29] all on Mike the poor guy has got a tremendous load on his shoulders I get all that
[00:42:35] but I also say when you aren't standing even on the right thing the only alternative to the continuing
[00:42:40] resolution that this stage would have been a government shutdown wow that would be political
[00:42:46] malpractice to shut down the government man Johnson said wow I think everyone understands that no I
[00:42:53] don't I don't at all neither does Brian by the way Johnson basically said hey you know
[00:42:58] when the new extension expires in December around Christmas time he will not support a massive
[00:43:04] catch all bill to fund the government I appreciate that but then he says referred to as an
[00:43:11] omnivis in other words a huge spending bill so a stop gap maybe necessary again so he's already got
[00:43:17] that on the table for December he's already set the stage for the feet that's my problem with this
[00:43:22] we're not gonna work on it for the next three months and see what we can get done Brian
[00:43:24] we're gonna admit defeat before Christmas already we're gonna throw the time we're gonna pass it
[00:43:29] to the next group what kind of leadership is that Brian now if you came back with a plan and no one
[00:43:34] supported your plan or no one was on board with you you could say hey at least I've got to plan people
[00:43:39] okay like Rand Paul's at least got a plan but what kind of a plan is that from your leader
[00:43:45] yeah we're already we're already losing and we're already saying we're losing before they even
[00:43:51] hit that mark so I love it and that's exactly right James you brought that up and it's
[00:43:57] true I'd like to see let's let's go back and see let's make a count let's count up and put it out
[00:44:03] there and so everybody can see how many of these have we gotten to and said oh we're gonna shut down
[00:44:09] the government oh we're gonna shut down the government oh we didn't we didn't we didn't we didn't
[00:44:13] I've been doing that more than once or at least once every year we know that
[00:44:22] so that's my problem with my guns in fact why don't you just say we're gonna have a continuing
[00:44:26] revolution whatever this thing expires we're just gonna have the the CR going place and we're
[00:44:31] gonna put it on automation I mean why have them why have them literally just grow the
[00:44:38] every every three months or whatever it'd be and you'd be like oh the world's ending I got a
[00:44:43] past this or man I don't want to be guilty of some kind of political now peasants or something
[00:44:49] I you know I don't want to be now practice over here so I got to okay why not just put it on
[00:44:54] automation then why not just you know say hey there there is no ending of government funding period
[00:45:02] why not just do that yeah I think that would be great I said let's let's get a commercial
[00:45:08] thing that's running on all channels all across all media here's the can and what does it say on
[00:45:14] that can that we keep kicking down the road boom in big ladders right there here's the can we
[00:45:19] keep kicking down the road you know how we failed and we're gonna continue to fail let's I mean
[00:45:25] yeah we need a butter kicker going on right now he had just kicked that thing so far down
[00:45:30] the road without the worry about it for a couple of decades you know why don't we just insanity is
[00:45:36] when I'm talking about right here's what's interesting to me too while this is going on while
[00:45:41] clown shows literally happening and while we're on the brink of war New York City mayor Eric Adams
[00:45:50] I guess got in tight about a federal grand jury now he calls the the indictment totally false
[00:46:00] but Casey Elcourt says hey he's got his step down over this so you even got one of the largest
[00:46:06] cities in America with a mayor that's stepping down because of abuse of finances there's nothing else
[00:46:14] imagine that man didn't go after a sponis I was reading something about the
[00:46:20] we were seeing his phone yeah they're gonna write on his house and only question I
[00:46:25] have is heck of a minute into the raid public like they did to our our friend uh oh what's
[00:46:30] this name oh what's his name they had TV there seen in and everything for it here here locally
[00:46:39] no it was that oh what's his name he lives in Florida oh I have to get his name and tell you
[00:46:44] it's a Roger Stone I'm so sorry Roger Stone they literally had that scene and they had the
[00:46:49] media there they literally kicked in his door had an unnatural TV and the big takedown arrived
[00:46:54] your stone and Trump had to have pardoned him and all that kind of stuff but I just think are you kidding me
[00:46:58] right now and these members of Congress literally just be like oh yeah we can't be guilty of uh
[00:47:02] what do you call that political uh um political malpractice can't have that brand
[00:47:10] you know don't want to be guilty of political malpractice here and I just think man
[00:47:17] at some point I don't know who the whole accountable or how the only way I think that we the people
[00:47:22] can hold them accountable is everyone in your devoted for this continuing resolution now your out
[00:47:26] office is that simple you're gone you're absolutely gone and if the people would send that
[00:47:31] kind of message it could be solved as well the sad part is the people are up the up the speed they
[00:47:36] won't do that right yeah I agree Sam and that's I agree it's the accountability factor and
[00:47:42] there's just not a lot of accountability or no one wants to hold anybody don't want to don't want
[00:47:46] to hurt or rock this boat I mean we're all in this boat you know and we have the power that's
[00:47:51] not rock the boat we don't want anybody falling out we just want to let's keep going we're doing
[00:47:55] all good and we're making money for everybody in this boat the American people are we're they're
[00:48:01] not helping them but it's helping us I don't know it's well and you have this candidate running
[00:48:05] for office that I have a problem with too you got this uh clown stove running for office where
[00:48:13] Kamala Harris the people never even voted for her they skipped the primary entirely
[00:48:20] now when she was asked about this Kamala says oh I back Joe 100% Joe's finally totally capable of
[00:48:25] running the country he's all good but then my response for her is why not let him do it
[00:48:32] why did he step down so now Joe Biden gets on TV with the view hosts Biden says quote I would
[00:48:39] have beaten loser Donald Trump president tells the view but no worries he's at peace with his
[00:48:45] step down plan that's newser the other article related to this is that he or time says this
[00:48:51] Biden on TV calls Trump a loser who lacks redeeming value well this is very simple then
[00:48:59] if Joe's that capable of beating Donald and Joe's that capable of running the country like they say
[00:49:04] make him do it right if he did not you know then what gives but I have a problem with the fact
[00:49:13] he didn't and now Kamala didn't have to have a primary I have a problem with that we've
[00:49:18] circumvented we've committed election fraud Brian and it's so plain to see it's not available now
[00:49:23] because if he's sick and we say he can't run the country I get this change okay it's like
[00:49:30] we didn't intend on it but the health of the person is like if somebody died in the car crash or
[00:49:33] he can't help it right I get that but if you're capable of running the country and you could beat
[00:49:38] this loser for sure but you're stepping down how does that work it's it's vote fraud Brian
[00:49:45] well it is and either he should be a remove from office and where she would have taken place
[00:49:52] or he's still in office which he is and I'm wondering if he doing anything as a person in
[00:49:58] office that he's supposed to be doing or is he he's just now relieved of his duty even though he's
[00:50:09] and they just were less scrambling to what to do and we can see it but the process is wrong
[00:50:15] they don't they don't seem to care well well president Biden or Joe and and Klaw was in in office
[00:50:22] they were doing all kinds of things that were wrong and didn't seem to care had no jurisdiction
[00:50:28] in what they were accomplishing wasn't under their jurisdiction as a president and so on but they didn't
[00:50:33] care that's that's kind of what we've been seeing all along and I just I find it very interesting
[00:50:38] that nobody on the other side or none of these are congress are house people that we voted for
[00:50:45] don't seem to bring any of this stuff up they just let them can keep kicking
[00:50:49] well just I'll just do my little work in my office but I you know we'll let them do there I mean
[00:50:54] it's it's reckless abandon on the highest scale that's why the country the world is laughing at us
[00:51:02] like this is a joke over here how did you know anyway and they love it they love it anyway
[00:51:13] I don't really know how to respond to this exactly because I look at this stuff and I just
[00:51:18] I don't I don't know how to respond I don't know what to think about this if he says I would
[00:51:25] beat in the loser Trump who has no value and I'm capable of this but yet he somehow stepped out
[00:51:34] in his push to side can you really do that after the primaries to where there's no primary now
[00:51:42] like I say it if there's an act of god or there's some legitimate justifiable there's nothing we
[00:51:47] can do about it Sam he's not capable of running the country or he's dead or I don't know what but
[00:51:54] I get it okay I get that that's reality you can't change but if you can and you don't because you
[00:52:01] at some point it's the most in your face election for other ever was you're correct yeah it's like
[00:52:09] what we we've been seeing in other countries where they they house their present okay well now
[00:52:13] we have to reform this or the bat you know we see all this stuff happen in all these other countries where
[00:52:19] they kind of remove their president or kill their president or whatever someone else has to come in
[00:52:24] whether it be good or bad well here in this country I'm sure they didn't want to kill Joe
[00:52:29] but they didn't know what to do and so they they've not obeyed any kind of political
[00:52:34] you know common sense you know the constitutional guidelines none of that and here she is
[00:52:43] but I agree let's let's have him run he's already there he lives and he thinks he can win let's have
[00:52:48] him run but they know he can't that's why they're playing this game then you've got to admit that he can't
[00:52:55] right and then you've got to ask Kamala clearly if he couldn't and was unable to didn't you
[00:53:00] and all your you know minions in the administration's running him realize this
[00:53:07] right because we really got a question your judgment at this point if you didn't really know
[00:53:13] and but also no overnight you admit it yeah anyway I'm not very smart but I just kind of
[00:53:23] questions Brian I'm the only one little asking these kind of questions right that's because you are smart Sam
[00:53:29] they don't want to hear you what is going on earth I feel like the dumbest guy in the room
[00:53:34] is like dirt ask all these questions and everybody else goes on oh no sound it's weird isn't it
[00:53:42] yeah it is weird and then they're calling us weird because we're asking about this
[00:53:48] right it's awesome to you're all man everybody's just weird you know weird people are
[00:53:53] all tell you right now it's weird everything is just weird it's weird that they skip the
[00:53:58] primary and nobody cares it's weird that Joe says he's totally capable of the bleating
[00:54:02] the aisle but yet they remove him but they insist that he's capable of it he could beat
[00:54:07] I mean he could beat dull with his hands tied behind his back kind of like Rush Limbaugh kind
[00:54:11] beat dull you know beat him to a pulp there he's totally capable and then it's weird they're like
[00:54:17] well let's just keep the can down the road there running you're talking about the budget we're just
[00:54:21] gonna in three months we've already failed Merry Christmas and then I'm going these people are weird you know
[00:54:29] right or else you got nickels huh we got nickels we got other hey Sam gather your team together
