This year has been a disaster, reflecting the failures of Washington, D.C. I ran for Congress to address these issues, but it seems nothing has changed. It's frustrating to see celebrations over Doge while we're about to add another billion dollars to the deficit. Regarding Speaker Johnson, I'm disappointed; he has the potential to communicate more effectively. It's unacceptable that we haven't seen the proposed language yet, especially with a vote scheduled for this week.

We're getting close to a number on appropriations, but Democrats are trying to add something new that's never been part of this before. They want to limit the executive branch's ability to do its job, which would tie the President's hands on expenditures. This is a gross separation of powers violation and a terrible precedent. It's a nonstarter for us, and the Democrats know that. So it looks like they're making individual appropriations bills almost impossible. There's more discussion to be had as we near the March 14 deadline. I'm hopeful they'll back off those outrageous demands because they're unprecedented and unconstitutional. The Democrats are likely trying to address the unitary theory of the executive, limiting the executive branch's ability to impound or rescind funds. This is a constitutional fight, and you likely won't get any Democrat votes on this CR. Get ready for a potential government shutdown.

"I think we'll eventually get there." "the folks who stayed up all night to go through the 34,000 individual pages have found that they're so redacted as to be useless and that many of them were already available." "the scope of their investigation is to investigate the investigators." "they don't ever intend to have any criminal referrals." "but they're not going in and trying to identify who these perpetrators were of these heinous sexual abuse crimes." "Well, I made the mistake of getting 12 cosponsors and the so the White House knew who to target." "So I'm not gonna name anybody who's thinking about joining." "They're literally calling it a hostile act to sign this discharge petition now."

The speaker criticizes both parties for engaging in "political theater" with the annual budget process, resulting in a continuing resolution (CR) and omnibus bill instead of 12 separate appropriations bills. Democrats want to grow the welfare state, and Republicans want to grow the military-industrial complex. The speaker highlights exposed lies and unconstitutional actions by various agencies, which will continue to be funded. The speaker points out that a previous debt limit increase included a provision for automatic 1% cuts if a CR extended past April 30th. The current CR is set to expire on March 28th to avoid triggering these cuts. A "bright shiny object," the SAVE Act, is attached to the CR, which is designed to prevent illegals from voting. The speaker predicts the SAVE Act will be removed, and Republicans will ultimately cave and fund the CR without it. The speaker refuses to participate in this "failure theater."

Can anyone argue that our government isn't broken? We frequently face potential shutdowns. The process has become a cycle of voting to spend money we don't have, then deciding whether to pay the bills. One party often threatens to crash the economy by withholding payments, leading to temporary votes just to keep the government running. It feels like when I was broke and could only afford to put a dollar of gas in my car each time. This is clearly a broken system.

Calls the rally 'the Hate America rally' and says it will collect 'the radical leftists in their party'—'the Marxists', 'the Antifa advocates', and the 'pro Hamas wing'—as 'the radical left' descend upon the National Mall in cavalcade. He asserts 'Chuck Schumer frightened to death,' noting they were terrified to reopen the government before those radical leftists show up on the National Mall, because it would be a big price to pay. He claims they have no intention whatsoever of reopening the government anytime before October 18 when the Hate America rally takes place. He says it's disgusting and cites harm to Americans—missing paychecks and services being stalled, including border patrol agents, TSA, air traffic controllers and flood insurance policies in the middle of a hurricane season. He concludes, 'Chuck Schumer is hurting real Americans for his own political survival. That is a fact that nobody can refute.'

Speaker calls it the 'Schumer shutdown' and the 'Schumer Siesta,' saying he put the government on Siesta to give illegal aliens your health care. 'We're not gonna let it happen.' He says, 'I looked at both of them.' 'I said, we're not gonna let it happen. It's no bueno.' They begged me, 'but, senor, por favor, please give illegal aliens the health care.' 'Said, we're not gonna do it. We're never gonna do it. It's not gonna happen.' He notes they're upset about 'our big, beautiful sombreros. You look at them.' 'These are the greatest sombreros the world has ever seen. We really have the best sombreros, and everybody wants one except Crying Chuck and El Hakimo, Jefe Jeffries.' 'They don't want one, but they're gonna wear one when all is said and done.' 'We're gonna end the siesta. We're gonna reopen the government, and we will not give in to the demands of Chuck and El Jefe.' 'We're not gonna do that.' 'Thank you. God bless you. Diolo Bendiga, and God bless America. Thank you for your attention to this matter.'

**Speaker 0:** 212 Democrats voted against no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. If the government makes money and spends it responsibly, taxes aren't necessary. The new administration is holding the government accountable, and people are mad about it. **Speaker 1:** There's no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security in the budget resolution. Taxes are normal. This utopia where nobody pays taxes isn't going to work. Read the budget before lecturing people about it.

Speaker 0 calls it the Schumer shutdown, the Schumer Siesta, saying "he put the government on Siesta, crying Chuck." He taunts "El Hakimou Hefei Jeffries," noting "we used to call him Dallas or Obama till we realized, he's worth far less than a dollar." He claims "they put the government on Siesta to give illegal aliens your health care" and asserts, "We're not gonna let it happen. It's no bueno." When asked to "please give illegal aliens the health care," he replies, "We're not gonna do it. We're never gonna do it." He mocks concerns about "big, beautiful sombreros," declaring "these are the greatest sombreros the world has ever seen." He promises to "end the siesta. We're gonna reopen the government, and we will not give in to the demands of Chuck and El Jefe." He closes with "Diolo Bendiga, and god bless America."

Do you see the idiocy I'm talking about? Why would 22 Democratic senators echo the same thing, thinking it would resonate with Americans? It just shows how unchanging our democracy's fabric is in the eyes of some officials and their constituents, which is why Trump is in office. Do I have to go to Capitol Hill and give lessons? You don't get it? Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer—you all get together, put something in a prompter, and say the same thing into a microphone in separate rooms. You think that's going to resonate? Then you wonder why you're no longer in power and why Trump is in the White House.

The speaker criticizes both parties for engaging in "political theater" with the annual budget process, resulting in continuing resolutions (CR) and omnibus bills. They claim that Democrats want to expand the welfare state, while Republicans want to expand the military-industrial complex, leading to increased spending regardless of which party is in power. The speaker highlights alleged lies and overreach by various government agencies, which they claim are consistently funded despite Republican opposition. They point out that a proposed 1% cut to spending, tied to a previous debt limit increase, is avoided by the speaker's choice of a 6-month CR. The speaker also dismisses the "SAVE Act" attached to the CR as a "bright shiny object" designed to excite Republicans, predicting it will be removed and never become law. They urge Republicans to fight for the Act, forcing Democrats to publicly support allowing "illegals to vote," but ultimately believes the CR will pass without it.

Here's the truth about what's happening in Congress: it's political theater, a repetitive cycle leading to a continuing resolution (CR) and then an omnibus bill, regardless of which party is in control. We never address the real issues, like reining in spending or cutting wasteful programs. Democrats want to expand the welfare state, and Republicans want to grow the military-industrial complex, and bureaucrats are being allowed to run wild. This CR is a six-month extension, strategically avoiding automatic cuts. The "SAVE Act" attached to it is just a shiny object, a false promise meant to appease Republicans before it disappears. We need to stop funding things we claim to oppose and address our spending addiction. I refuse to participate in this charade any longer.

Republicans' nihilism has brought the country to the brink of a government shutdown at midnight unless Congress acts. Democrats offered to fund the government for another month, but Republicans rejected this because Donald Trump wants full control over government spending. The choice is between proceeding with the bill or risking a shutdown, which would give Trump more power. While the Republican bill is deeply partisan and doesn't address many needs, allowing Trump to take more power via a shutdown is worse. No one wants a shutdown. Members who oppose the CR want Republicans to take their responsibilities more seriously and negotiate spending bills that address the needs of the American people. The Republican party is the party of Trump, and allowing him to take more power via a shutdown is a worse option than passing the CR.

Speaker calls the situation the 'Schumer shutdown' and the 'Schumer Siesta,' insisting 'we're not gonna let it happen' and vowing to 'end the siesta' and 'reopen the government.' He claims 'they put the government on Siesta to give illegal aliens your health care' and repeats 'There's no bueno.' He recalls 'l Hakimou Hefei Jeffries, we used to call him dollar store Obama till we realized, he's worth far less than a dollar.' He notes 'these are the greatest sombreros the world has ever seen' and says 'everybody wants one except Cryin' Chuck and, El Hakimo, Jefe Jeffries. They don't want one, but they're gonna wear one when all is said and done.' He adds 'we will not give in to the demands of Chuck and El Jefe.' 'Diolo Bendiga, and God bless America.'

Speaker 0 criticizes Speaker McCarthy for taking credit for the single subject appropriations bills, stating that it was not his original plan. They argue against lumping together departments like Education and Labor with the military and border patrol, calling it chaotic. Speaker 0 claims that they forced the change and warns that if Speaker McCarthy continues, the appropriations process will become a sideshow controlled by lobbyists and special interests. They express frustration with how the American people have been mistreated for decades and vow to fight against it.

Speaker denounces the 'Schumer shutdown' and the 'Schumer Siesta,' claiming he 'put the government on Siesta' to 'give illegal aliens your health care.' He vows, 'We're not gonna let it happen' and says 'it's no bueno' after noting, 'They begged me. They said, but, senor, por favor, please give illegal aliens the health care.' He mocks 'Crying Chuck' and 'El Hakimo, Jefe Jeffries,' noting, 'El Hakimou Hefei Jeffries, we used to call him Dallas or Obama till we realized, he's worth far less than a dollar.' He adds, 'We're gonna end the siesta. We're gonna reopen the government, and we will not give in to the demands of Chuck and El Jefe.' He laments opposition to 'our big, beautiful sombreros'—'These are the greatest sombreros the world has ever seen'—and says, 'everybody wants one... they don't want one, but they're gonna wear one when all is said and done.' 'Diolo Bendiga' and 'god bless America.'

"That was so crazy about that incident is not even that it happened, but that it happened on the Capitol Steps right in front of a Capitol police officer." "And he wasn't even asked to take a step back." "And it just like I really just can't help but think about all of that footage and evidence that we saw the day of all these Capitol Police officers helping and being sympathetic to the insurrectionists on January 6." "But if you raise questions about that or if you don't feel safe, it's construed as you attacking the entire institution of public safety." "And we saw a lot of that show up not just in our politics now but even the State of the Union because now both parties are in a contest of how much money they can shovel in the system without critically holding any of it accountable."

"We have to realize the democrats, their whole argument is we are going to shut down the government unless you give a trillion dollars for medical benefits for illegal aliens." "And they're saying that unless you give that money to those legal aliens, unless you give those benefits to those illegal aliens, we are going to shut down the people's government." "It's such a stark contrast between two parties priorities." "We want to put the government to work for the American people first." "We're not gonna be taken hostage by the Democrats' desperate desire to give your tax money to illegal aliens." "We're just not gonna do it."

The speaker believes American people are tired of lies in Washington D.C. and fake fights. They cite a vote on July 10th that now requires voting for a continuing resolution that continues the Biden administration's budget, including the Green New Deal. The speaker believes this is absurd and will frustrate the Republican base, who are tired of being lied to, especially with the November 5th election approaching. Creating a fake fight could cause Republicans to lose the House. The speaker suggests being honest about aligning with Democrats, rather than pretending to fight for spending reduction. They are unlikely to participate in a fake fight but are open to a real one. The speaker believes the Speaker needs to be honest with President Trump about plans for September 30th, which they don't believe has been the case.

The speaker presents a conditional scenario directed at the president: if the president said today that he would be happy to meet with the Democrats if they stop holding the government hostage, then Democrats could walk in tonight, pass the continuing resolution (CR), and provide seven weeks. The speaker believes the president could then bring everyone together, and that the Democrats would likely negotiate on a number of issues and reach an agreement. The speaker emphasizes that the president does not want to negotiate under duress. This point is tied to a claim about Democratic sentiment: anonymously, a Democrat senator told the speaker that none of them want to vote to open the government because, in their words, “we’d face the guillotine.” The speaker notes that these words came “from our base,” suggesting this is the view of the president’s political allies or supporters. In summarizing the exchange, the speaker asserts that this line of reasoning reflects a critical dynamic in the current standoff: the possibility that a straightforward, pressure-free offer from the president to engage with Democrats could break the deadlock and lead to a constructive dialogue on policy issues. The implication is that the threat or perception of political duress is a barrier to reaching a resolution, and that a different approach—one that signals openness to negotiation without coercion—might unlock bipartisan progress. The transcript includes the assertion that if the president were to publicly welcome negotiations under a non-duress framework, there would be movement toward a compromise on multiple issues, facilitated by a temporary timeline (seven weeks) and a renewed, inclusive negotiation process. The speaker underscores the idea that such an approach could shift dynamics away from fear of political punishment within the base toward substantive agreement. Towards the end, the speaker remarks, “Look. Think you just made a very important,” indicating that the argument is intended to highlight a potentially pivotal point about how the administration’s stance could influence willingness to engage and resolve the government funding impasse. The transcript ends with this incomplete thought, leaving the broader implications implied but not fully explicit.

Thank you. It’s good to be here. We've been discussing how to pay for my plans. They're logical, but Washington isn't. How will I convince a divided Congress to support them, given their past behavior? It will involve taxes. Economists across the spectrum agree, although Congress isn't made up of economists. I understand the concern, but that's the reality.

The Republicans are currently voting on amendments for funding bills, and it's crucial that they come to an agreement to avoid a government shutdown. This disagreement is essentially between the hard right and the even harder right within the GOP. Unfortunately, under Kevin McCarthy's leadership, it seems difficult to govern. However, it's important that they find a way to keep the government running because ordinary Americans will suffer if they don't. There's a bipartisan continuing resolution supported by both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, and I hope the House will have the opportunity to vote on it and work together in a bipartisan manner.

parliamentarian ruled that sections of it were outside of the process that they're using to get this through. Do you think that senators should respect the decisions of the parliamentarian? And what have you personally done in the last forty eight hours to try and get Republican senators who are against the bill to a yes? 'If it's not approved, your taxes will go up by 68%. Think of that. 68, a record, the highest in the history.' 'The Democrats won't approve it only because, politically, it's so good for the Republicans.' 'They're not approving border security.' 'We've done a great job at the border, but we have to add some wall.' 'We have no money for that.' 'But if the Democrats it'll be interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes. We should.' 'If I were a Democrat, I would vote for this bill all day long because it's tax cuts and so many other things that are common sense.'

We filed the continued resolution on Saturday, but the House Democrats leadership team released a statement on Friday panning a bill they hadn't even seen yet. They claimed it would cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance, and veterans benefits. But every single word of that is a lie. The clean CR contains no policy riders at all, no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security, and no cuts to veterans benefits. In fact, we plus up the accounts for veterans. I'm asking reporters to call out Democrats for making these intentionally false claims. The American people deserve clarity from our press corps.

The American people are sick of the lies, cheating, and spending. We're seeing the climax of living beyond our means, fueled by the dollar's reserve currency status. The country is bankrupt, morally and financially, with moral bankruptcy leading to abuse of power. Some in Congress want to cut back spending, but there are loopholes. Congress is not doing its job by passing appropriation bills. Trump is asking Republicans to vote for a bill that largely maintains current spending levels, with an additional $8 billion for military spending. They are always trying to kick the can down the road, they are not cutting spending. The whole system is massive, abused, and immoral. It's going to take some time to fix this issue.
