Today, dysfunction and stupidity. A Government Shutdown is looming one week from today as a group of conservative lawmakers blow up republican chances to fund the government at a time that americans are hurting from the impact of the biden administrations terrible policies where pictures expose an invasion underway at the u. S. Southern border. Sky high inflation bankrupting families and businesses and corruption is in plain sight. Republican disrupters are trying the stop funding the government, take down the speak speakerover the house and destroy the victories republicans have had in reversing this bad policy. Now the house gears up to the vote on four Appropriations Bills this upcoming week to partially fund the government just days before the funding deadline. Coming up, House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan On The Budget Battle and if what it means for current leadership. Plus, will Chuck Schumer and the democrats beat the republicans to the punch this week with their own Continuing Resolution . Senator mike lee on what happens to the Funding Bills once they reach the senate. Then, the disrupter trying to blow up the gop unity the, take down the speaker and shut down government. Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz on his motives to disrupt the republican wins including investigating Potential Bribery from joe biden and a coverup underway at the Department Of Justice. Have you had personal contact with anyone at fbi headquarters about the Hunter Biden Investigation . Uh, i dont recollect the answer to that question with, but fbi works for the justice department. Im sorry, im sorry, you dont recollect, you dont recollect whether youve talked with anybody at fbi headquarters about an investigation of the president s son . I dont believe that i did. Maria no recollection from the Attorney General. Then, just three days away from the second gop debate and a new poll finds President Trump leading President Biden by a full 10 percentage points. Will any of the candidates cut into President Trumps faraway lead . Republican president ialing candidate Lahr Ily Elder is hero assess the current field. Plus, mark levin is out with a new book on why the democrats agenda is hurting america. Hes coming up. Its all right here, right now on Sunday Morning Futures. Maria and we begi on spending in washington and a countdown to a potential Government Shutdown. A weekend of talks amongst House Members to come up with a solution to avoid a Government Shutdown one week from today. October 1st. Speaker mccarthy told us weeks ago that he would pursue a socalled Continuing Resolution to fund the government for 30 days past next weeks deadline as congress now has just with six days to prevent that shutdown. I would actually like to have a shortterm c. R. Only to make our argument stronger. Because, maria, if we shut down, all of government shuts down, investigation and Everything Else. It hurts the american public. But if were able to pass our Appropriation Bills, were many a stronger position to remove those pelosi policies that are locked into law right now. Maria among the challenges, a group of conservatives who refuse to agree to any Continuing Resolution, a resubject of current Spending Levels even if its the just 30 days to allow the house to finish the 11 remaining Appropriation Bills to fully fund the government. As the United States National Debt is now over 333 trillion 33 trillion with interest alone on that debt nearly a trillion dollars. Now lawmakers will return on tuesday with hopes to push through at least four Appropriations Bills to partially turned the government by September 30th. Of joining me now with the very latest on these negotiations is this Sunday Morning Futures exclusive interview House Judiciary Committee chairman, chairman jim jordan. Mr. Chairman, thanks very much for being here. Can you tell us where we stand in terms of funding the government . Well, Everyone Wants to get the 12 Appropriation Bills done. Im all for that, thats how we should operate but, frankly, were not going to get it done in the next six days, so theres going to have to be some stop gap measure. Lets win something when we do it, lets do something that actually benefits the entire country. And everyone knows what that issue is. This is literally politics 101. One really good issue beats fifteen pretty good issues every single time, and the one really good issue right now is the problem on our government. Lets say well fund the government for 30 days, Chuck Schumer, but were going to include a measure that says no money can be used to process or release any new My 2k3wr57b9s into the country. Were on pace to break the record of last year which broke the record for the year before which broke the record for any other year. Year after year after year weve seen this unbelievable open border under joe biden, so lets fix it. Lets demand that. And, oh, by the way, maria, even democrats agree with this. Look at mayor eric adams in new york. Lets do that, lets get a win for the American People, and then lets finish these appropriation bill, fund the government the way we should, the right way, the republican way, and lets get all that done. Maria i feel like we were talking about this very scenario six or eight months ago when Speaker Mccarthy was going through all of those rounds, and we knew then that you needed to get those bills done. Why werent the Appropriations Bills done in time . Well, theres been a fight over the number, what level were actually going to fund at. Look, i want to reduce spending too. But in divided government, theres been a number thats agreed on to to fund the government and, frankly, its less than the year before which is a huge step. When we control onehalf of onethird of the government by five votes and weve actually got a negotiated number thats less than joe biden and the democrats spent last year, i think thats a win. So lets hold on that number if we can. Theres some debate within our conference, and i get that. Lets hold on that number if we can, but lets win the policies. The other policy, frankly, we should consider putting on these bills is the policy that says you cant, you cant fund the attack on your political opponent, which is exactly what joe bidens doing when hes funding this jack smith operation going after his political opponent. And the American People, i think, see that for what it is. Its one of the reasons why President Trumps up ten points in the latest poll, for goodness sake, because they know his policies work and joe bidens policies dont. And they see that joe so thats another policy win we could go for that, i think, makes a lot of sense. Maria and i know there are different people who have different priorities. You and Marjorie Taylor greene want to see that in there, no money, no more money for jack smith, no prosecuting of your political enemies. But theres Common Ground on the border. Everybody knows whats going on you not using that conning resolution with Continuing Resolution with one major focus, make sure youve got money to the border and then work on Everything Else within this months time . How come thats not happening . Well, were trying. Look, i respect e money. I get that. We understand how bad the Debt Situation is. But i really think in divided government like were in right now, the one thing we should focus on is that. Were trying to bring the team together. I still think we can. But i think the its important if we can send that c. R. , that stopgap measure, i think its important that that we send it first to Chuck Schumer, because we know what hes going to try to do. Hes going to try to increase spending, put additional dollars for ukraine. Thats a nonstarter for so many of us in the house. So lets focus on getting that that one thing done, serving it over there sending it over there first. Thats exactly what were trying to do in our conference. Maria i want to ask Chuck Schumer and the democrats why it is we have sent 113 billion to ukraine for their border, and is weve got no money going to the u. S. Border. Great question. Maria can anyone answer that question . Great question. And, again, maria, if we say no money can be used to process or release any new migrants into the country, were going to stop it, were going to fix the problem, we send it over there and Chuck Schumer says no to it, then hes in in essence saying its more important to shut down the government than it is to secure our border. I dont think the American People are there. Thats why its so important we send it over there. And frankly, with the ukraine question, no one can ever answer the fundamental question, what is the goal . What ises the objective from is it to get russia out of the Eastern Ukraine . Is it to get them all the way out of crimea which they took when president obama was, their administration . If. Maria yep e. What is the objective . And until someone can define the goal, i dont think i should continue to send tax dollars from the hard working people from the 4th district of ohio. I dont think we should send american taxpayer money there if no one can tell us what the antibiotickive objective is. Until we know that, why should we send money there . Maria i want to turn to the Judiciary Hearing in a second with Merrick Garland, but real quick, youre going to work on four Appropriations Bills this week. Is that going to be enough do you think youre really going to get four bills through this week, and you actually get those done and partially fund the government after September 30th . Thats well, thats the plan, thats the objective. I think we can. I dont think we can get all twelve of them done, but i think we can get those four, and those are the bulk of the spending for the overall budget. So i think we can. We need to work through as much as we canning, but we do need, as we talked about, we need that c. R. Sent to the senate with that one key provision or maybe those two key provisions, focus on those two key policies. Maria all right. And those four are Homeland Security, Department Of Defense, what, foreign ops meaning the embassies, etc. , and agriculture. Yep, those are the four. Maria okay. Congressman, ive got to get your take on what took place last week. Lets roll this sound of Merrick Garland testifying. Watch. Do you know about the money that move through rob walkers Shell Companies, yes or no . As i have said repeatedly, i have left these matters to mr. Weiss. Ive not intruded, ive not interfered listen to the ignorance, its like youre looking the other way on purpose because Everybody Knows this stuffs happening. And, you know what . People dont pay bribes to not get something in return, right . The China Initiative resulted in the convictions of a harvard professor, of someone at monsanto. So we were working against the chinese, they paid the bidens, and now youre sitting here telling me that north koreas the big threat. Maria congressman, thank you for that hearing. It exposed so much. Merrick garland said he did not recollect ever talking about the Hunter Biden Investigation. What are the next steps here . Well, were going to continue to dig. Were going to continue to do our constitutional duty of oversight. And as the speaker announced two weeks ago, we are now in the impeachment inquiry phase. So weve got a number of witnesses at doj we want to depose, and david weiss has committed to come many front of the committee on october 14th. You can boil in this down to the burisma situation. Matt was right to talk about the china issue, but burisma, i think, captures it all. Hunter biden getr two, he wasnt qualified to be on the board. Fact number three, the Burisma Executives asked him, can you help us with the pressure we are facing . Fact number four, joe biden gets the prosecutor fired, lev racks leverages american tax dollars to accomplish that. And then whathey try to sweep ie rug so much so that they allowed the statute of limitations to lapse for the most serious tax, felony tax concerns hunter biden had in 2014 and 2015. They let it lapse because those were the years that dealt with the burisma income. And they were going to sweep it all under the rug but for two brave whistleblowers and a judge in delaware who called bologna on their crazy plea deal. Thats the whole story, and it captures the whole story right there. But then you add in all the other fact, and thats why were in an impeachment inquiry phase. Maria unbelievable. Mr. Chairman, that sounds like bribery and a coverup. Well, they i think they were definitely going to sweep this under this is what were focused on in the Judiciary Committee, how the weiss and Garland Justice Department handled in this investigation. Maria well be watching, and we will watch the see if theres any accountability there, congressman. Thank you. House Judiciary Committee cht exclusive. Now joining us, one of the People Holding up an agreement to fund the government, Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz. Congressman, thank you very much for being here this morning. Well, thank you. Im glad i get to respond to you are your monologue, because if youre saying that im standing in the way of all the republican wins, id love you to enumerate them. Watching my friend and mentor jim jordan, it was quite painful because he started by saying we should only pick one fight, the border. But as the interview went on, he said we should pick a second fight, jack smith, and by the time the the interview rounded out, he said we shouldnt be funding ukraine without a plan, yet the Continuing Resolution continues to have 3000 million more for ukraine 300 republican Border Policies is to pass the county of Homeland Security department of Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, do that with the other three, well have 73 of the discretionary budget funded. And, you know, if the Department Of Labor and education have to shut down for a few days, thats certainly not something that is optimal, but i think its better than continuing on the current path we are to americas financial ruin. Maria congressman, i understand, and that is why you are on this program this morning, because i want to give you a fair shot. And i want to get you heard. So tell me why you are threatening Speaker Mccarthy and trying to shut down this government at a time that the republicans have finally gotten some upper hands here in terms of wins, able to investigate President Biden on what looks like bribery . Yeah, we dont put our pencils down in the investigation of President Biden during a shutdown. So the premise is false. Second, if Kevin Mccarthy was actually serious about pursuing the bidens, he would have sent hunter biden a subpoena by now. Thats how you know this is sort of Failure Theater that youre observing. During the first year of democrat control of the congress, they brought in donald trump jr. Three timeses over nothing, over a nothing burger. We seem to be fundamentally unserious in our oversight. But what is serious is the fact that we are spending more than 7 trillion a year bringing in around 5 trillion a year, and i want to fund the government. Im not proshutdown. But the way to fund the government is not the same way weve been doing it since the mid 90s where its one Up Or Down Vote on the entire government all at once. You should have separate, singlesubject Spending Bills. Kevin mccarthy promised that in january, he is in breach of that promise. So im not here to hold the government hostage, im here to hold Kevin Mccarthy to his word. Maria are there Freedom Caucus members also out of compliance . They were also on the appropriations committee. Where is the responsibility for them . Are they also out of compliance . No. Im not a member of the Freedom Caucus, ill let them speak for themselves. Take, for example, the border, this issue you think has great primacy, and i would agree with you. The department of Homeland Security Appropriations Bill was passed out of if ploaptions committee in june, and yet Kevin Mccarthy hasnt put it on the floor in more than a hundred hundred days. Do you know why Kevin Mccarthy didnt move our border Appropriations Bill . Because the lobbyists and the special interests who own Kevin Mccarthy want to put us in this position what were backed up against the wall facing shutdown politics. And what that does the is it centralizes Power To The People that they buy off with pac donations and lobbyist donations. And then the membership doesnt get to make real contributions to that process. Im trying to democratize it. Maria congressman, the bills are being worked on. You just heard jim jordan say they are efforting four bills this week, Appropriations Bills this week to get through. That would partially fund the government. The defense bill as well, you wanted the defense bill to move if forward, did you not . Yes. Thats why i voted for it, and i voted for the rule to proceed on to to it. And, by the way, dont give Kevin Mccarthy credit for the fact that were moving on these Appropriations Bills, that was the deal that house conservatives foisted upon Kevin Mccarthy when he couldnt just move the big Spending Bills without moving the bills to cut spending. We said, no, no, no, you have to move the state and foreign ops bill because we dont think we should be borrowing money from china to go fund gay pride parades in prague. We dont think thats a good use of our money. And the only way to do this is line by line. Kevin wants it in one big Up Or Down Vote, im saying singlesubject Spending Bills is the only way to lib right ourselves from this caught of liberate ourselves maria well, hes doing the four bills next week. Because were making him. Maria the push now to blow up all of the wins that you all have had which winsesome please enumerate them. Maria okay. How about the fact that he has set up a Weaponization Committee to investigate the the koj thats process maria hold on. Hold on. How about the fact that he has set up the China Select Committee to keep china to account and, of course, he has launched this inquiry into impeachment potentially for President Biden. Is that not what you want . None of those things are deliverables. Those are steps in a process. Setting up a committee is an end unto itself only in washington d. C. Maria but these committees hold on. I let you talk maria okay, go ahead. Go ahead. These committees have done nothing to reduce inflation. Theyve done nothing to actually constrain the biden government. We can set up committees and have hearings and yell at people, but at the end of the day if we still send the check to fund a weaponizedded government, having a Weaponization Subcommittee is little relief to the American People. And if any of this was serious, we would be sending out subpoenas and compelling process the way the January 6th Committee did. We should be operating like them. Instead, were Playing Patty Cake with the bidens. Of we. Ask were funding it. Were sending the money. If we were serious, use the power of the purse. Maria the speaker joined me a week ago and told me that he will, in fact, subpoena hunter biden. He said at the appropriate time well, its its been eight months. When do you think the appropriate time is . How many months sho wait before that subpoenas sentsome you tell me. Maria we would not know anything that we know about the biden family, 176 suspicious activity reports, 20 Shell Companies set up while he was Vice President , the whistleblower testimony, we would not know any of this if not for those committees that he set up exposing all of this we shouldnt still fund it. You have the follow that to its natural conclusion. Its not enough to expose facts that get people angry and animated. You then have to follow those facts to a conclusion and to accountability. You see, thats what republicans are bad at. Were great at having the hearings and putting on the performances, before but if youre still going to underwrite bidens debt and if youre going to join up with democrats to still fund this government, Merrick Garland will sit there and answer my tough questions obfuscate ask is and then, guess what . He goes back to the justice department, and the coffers are full with money from the american taxpayer that a gets turned against the brave patriots in this country. What about the january 6th case . He promised he was going to release those, and he still hasnt. Maria well, the january 6th tapes are available to anybody who wants to see them. He gave them to Tucker Carlson its not true. Maria congressman, them. That is a factual misstatement. They have been curated for some people in the media and some defense attorneys, but any american cannot see any of the january 6th that is a false statement. Maria are you not right now indirectly working with democrats, because you are going to allow Chuck Schumer to comp with a Continuing Resolution next week to fund the government. Thats what your actions are doing. Thats why some people feel this is a personal vendetta you have against the speaker. No. My vendetta is against a washington system that allows corruption to put the interests of lobbyists and pacs above the interests of the American People. Kevin mccarthy facilitates that system, and i do deeply resent that, but im not working with Chuck Schumer or any other democrat. I am the one working with maria youre enabling them. No, no, no. You guys criticize me for forcing singlesubject Spending Bill, then you give Kevin Mccarthy to maria no, i actually agree you should do the single bill. I think the single bills why hasnt he done them . Its september. We knew September 30th was coming all year, and Kevin Mccarthy has been fiddling like maria as we unit, as we understand it, theyre doing it this upcoming week. Right. Because we are making them. Maria congressman putting a political gun to their head, and you are welcome, america. Were going to keep making them do it. Maria Congressman Matt Gaetz joining us this morning in tha oh booking.

Well, the fallout continues over the indictment of longtime new jersey democrat senator bob menendez and his wife on bribery charges. Senator menendez is accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for using his power and influence as a senator to benefit three new jersey if businessmen and the egyptian government. Menendez and his wife arin manhs wednesday. Joining me right now with reaction to all of this this morning in this Sunday Morning Futures exclusive is utah republican senator mike lee. Senator, thanks very much for being here this morning. Want to get your take on this it of bob menendez . The allegations in the indictment are serious, and if true, if proven, these are certainly criminal offenses. I dont know whats going to happen. He has yet to have the opportunity to present his case and to make his argument. I look forward to hearing those. It is interesting though, i was noticing this morning youve got a number of democratic politicians in washington and around the country who are calling for his resignation. Thats somewhat unusual at this stage, but thats a signal, and its a troubling one for senator menendez. Maria senator, what is your take on this budget battle . You just heard my conversations with jim jordan and matt gaetz. Do you expect a Government Shutdown . I think a Government Shutdown is possible. I think its avoidable, i think we should avoid it. I think the best way to proceed at this point would be to passes something that keeps the government funded for a few weeks. Look, the husband of representatives has got House Of Representatives has got things moving to the point where we may have as many as four of these Appropriations Bills that you mentioned earlier in the program passed perhaps in the next few days. Thats going to take some time though. They might not be able to get it done next week, and even if they did, it would probably take longer than that to get it through the senate. I think the best way to move it forward would be to extend the Government Spending for a few weeks to keep it open so that we can pick up these bills one by one. Because its absolutely true, for a long time the law firm of schumer, mcconnell, mccarthy and jeffreys, year after year in all of its iterations has waited til the last minute and written up an omnibus Spending Bill which it drops on congress at the worst possible up until Cloo Christmas and then they use christmas extortion to to get people to vote for it not wanting to cause a shutdown and be delayed for getting home to their families just before christmas. This has got to stop. And the best way to top that is by doing these Appropriations Bills one by one. Fund one part of government after the other one at a time until its all done. Maria what youre saying is very important and sounds quite practical, but we are looking at an offset within the members. You just heard matt gaetz. If we see a Government Shutdown, does the inves and his Family Hn Doing in the last decade. Yeah. Look, and those allegations are very troubling, and they need to be investigated. And i applaud Speaker Mccarthy for launching this inquiry. I am aware of no reason, maria, why that inquiry could not continue maria okay. Even if the government were to shut down temporarily. Theres nothing suggesting to me that congress cant do its work if that happens. Many any event, we shouldnt use that as an excuse unilaterally to just accede to what the democrats want. Maria yes. Utah senator mike lee, thank you so much. We appreciate your time. Thank you. Maria quick break, and then mark levin is here. Hes got reaction to this Budget Battle In Washington along with his thoughts on the biden Family Business amidst charges of bribery and Money Laundering against this president.

Have you had personal contact with anyone at fbi headquarters about the Hunter Biden Investigation . Uh, i dont, i dont recollect the answer to that question, but fbjustice departm. Its im sorry, im sorry, you dont recollect, you dont recollect whether youve talked with anybody at fbi headquarters about an invi did. Maria that was Attorney General Merrick Garland testifying in front of the house jewish dish cannily committee, repeatedly testifying that he did not recall anything, he did not recollect whether the investigation into his boss son was ever discussed with him. He refused to acknowledge the biden Family Influence Peddling and played i dumb to the 176 suspicious activity reports on the biden family bank accounts, the 20 Shell Companies set up by biden Family Members while joe was Vice President and whistleblowerses saying joe and hunter biden may have accepted 5 million apiece from the head of burisma for getting the prosecutor investigating The Gas Company fired. Instead, the doj claims to be investing hunter on gun charges. The first son is scheduled to appear on october 3rd for federal arraignment on gun charges which, if convicted, could face 25 the years in prison which, of course, is highly unlikely. This after a plea deal on gun and tax charges was rejected by a federal judge over concerns biden could be exempt from all certain future criminal charges. All of this as democrats defend President Biden. Joining me right now is the host of life, liberty and levin, mark levin is with us. Mark has a new book out called the Democratic Party hates america. It is number one on amazons bestseller list. Mark, congratulations to you on the book, the new show on fox news and all of your success. I want to talk about everything being discussed in this morning. First, lets take a look at that testimony by Merrick Garland. Your reaction. My reaction as a former Chief Of Staff to an Attorney General who who handled an awful lot of bigtime cases is hes a liar where. Hes not just a liar, hes a serial liar. The idea that the Attorney General of the United States watches television, sees a deal break down in front of a judge, doesnt say to the Public Integrity division or his Deputy Attorney general or associate Attorney General i need to be briefed on committee thats controlled by the republicans in the House Judiciary Committee, the idea that he doesnt know whats taking place with joe biden, with hunter biden, with donald trump, he is a flatout, serial liar. He knows it, i know it, and anybody who ever served as an foreign general or Chief Of Staff to an Attorney General knows it. Ill give you a little bit of information. At least when i was there, and i was in charge of what went in and out of the Attorney Generals office, at least twice a day we would have a stack of articles about matters relevant to the Department Of Justice small and large that would be provided not just to the Attorney General, but every senior person who reports to the Attorney General. The idea that this Attorney General doesnt know exactly whats going on and why wouldnt he . It doesnt mean hes involved hi know whats going on but, you know, i have a Special Counsel, so i havent gotten involved in that and so forth. They have an allhands meeting there probably once a week like we used to have with the Attorney General, the deputy, the associate, the heads of the acquisitions, criminal, civil rights and so forth and so on, and they talk about the most important cases that are going on. So we have an Attorney General who says i dont want to know anything about hunter biden, i dont want to know anything about joe biden, i dont want to know anything about donald trump, i dont want to know anything about anything. Well, why is he there . Again can, it doesnt mean hes involved in these decisions, but i can also tell you he is involved in these decisions. A Special Counsel by regulation. So its so preposterous, its so outrageous. And heres our problem how do you get to this idea . My idea, maria, is this we ought to subpoena all the texts, all the emails, subpoena all the communications between can and among the senior staff at the Department Of Justice. And if the county of justice, the the Department Of Justice, the pexert executive privilege, lets have that constitutional fight and get to the bottom of this, because i think he is a liar. Maria and im wondering what his number two is doing in terms of her involvement, lisa monaco. Thats the one who many people believe is really calling the shots. Including me. Maria yeah. She is a political bomb thrower, hard core leftist, an obama acolyte. L rights tuition was a loudmouthed racist for the longest time, the number three, same damn thing. They loaded up that Department Of Justice with these radical, political bombthrower leftists. And you notice how quiet they are publicly. They leak like hell, they picked this guy, smith, to be the head of the investigation of trump. Now smiths brought his number two in. These guys investigate maniacs overseas, now theyre investigating trump . They purposefully made their decisions on what that deal was going to be with weiss, then They Reappoint Weiss in violation of the rules, and nobody knows anything thats going on. That is bull crap. They all know exactly whats going on maria yeah. And that committee, my dear friend, jordan and the others, subpoena them, get the communications, find that that they committed perjury and lets go for it. Maria mark, let me move on to the budget battlingses. You just heard both sides, congressman jim jordan and matt gaetz. It looks like we will see a Government Shutdown one week frommed today. Your reaction. Look, i used to like matt gaetz politically. To im no big fan. Hes not mr. Conservative to me. I worked for mr. Conservative for eight years, his name was ronald reagan, and we shut the government down six times. You shut the government for a very specific reason, and it needed to be shut down. The democrats were spending all kinds of money, but they wouldnt fund, for example, the trident missile system. Reagan said you dont put that in the budget, im not signing a budget. So the government was shut down for a few days, and we got the missile system. And he did this because he was up against a House Of Representatives that was controlled by the democrats. He brought in the senate, the republicans in the senate. Heres a couple things i want to point out. Just because you want to be pickett in the civil war, doesnt mean were all going to follow you up the hill. You may sound good, you may make all these allegations and all the rest, thats not conservative. Conservative is, okay, byron donalds, chip roy, others. Maria right. The vast majority of the Freedom Caucus does not support these five, four of whom want to run for statewide office which is fine by me. Thats what politicians do, theyre constantly looking for ways to run for office. But dont confuse that with conservative. Thats not conservative. Im a conservative. Other people are conservatives. Were saying you were just offered an 8 cut across the board in domestic spending. Im 66 years old, that has never been proposed by a republican ever. You were also told as part of that deal were going to move resources to secure that damn border thats killing this country, except were not going to cut for the military and the vets. This is the best with we can do in the next two weeks, and youre told these guys are selling out . Oh, no, we need 12 bills. Let me tell you a little scent, maria, the American People dont know 12 bills from 12,000 bills. Maria thats right. They want that budget cut, they want that border secured, i do too. They want our Department Of Defense to be able to defend us, and we want our vets taking care of us. Thats a pretty good package for a Continuing Resolution when the republicans havent done a damn thing except endorse Chuck Schumers Spendingly Ed he blows the cap off in may. What the democrats are going to do in the house, theyre going to pull three of four of these d mcconnell in the senate, well have people like matt gaits, biden will sign it, then what are we going to do . Is that conservative . Thats knot conservative, that is insane not conservative, that is insane. Maria that is the exact point i was trying to make with matt gaetz. And and putting all of that aside, the republicans have actually had success in terms of exposing Potential Criminality of a sitting president. And i dont know if that Investigation Connells or shuts down continues or shuts down. Im not afraid of a Government Shutdown. I agree with you, mark. But at the same time, we are where we are. Those bills are or the bulk of them should have been done. They werent with. We are where we are. So in the next five days, what do you do . Attack the house, take it over, blow it up even after the victories that weve seen many terms of this criminality . Heres the problem. Matt gaetz has four colleagues, had five. Matt gaetz wants to do all these things, hes going to need more than himself and four others. The vast majority of republicans, the overwhelming majority of the free come caucus, conservatives all, disagree with matt gaetz and the other four. So what are we supposed to do . They represent five congressional districts. Well, they say theres a lack of leadership. Well, how is it that the current leadership in the house whos been there for eight months, by the way, how is it possible that he is the failure when . Maria right. I mean, what it is, its a minuscule majority. You could actually have three of them shut down the House Of Representatives and not get anything done. So i think theyre exploiting this situation. They dont have any kind of practical way to get to where they claim they want to go. Maria yeah. Mark, real quick, your book, bestseller once again. Whats your main point . My main point is the greatest threat we have in this country is not china. Theyre the second greatest threat. Maria yeah. Its the Democrat Party. Border, finances, safety in our streets. You go down the list, i couldnt write a book that the Democrat Party loves america, because theres nothing i can say about it. If you want to fundamentally transform america, transform it into what . Well, or theyre showing us what. Were not going to produce things we used to produce, he was their face in our homes telling us what kind of lightbulbs we can have, theyre destroying the family, the classroom.

I need to be at 1 or better in order to qualify for the first debate. I got shafted, Ronna Mcdaniels said i couldnt use one of the polls because its affiliated with trump. I dont know what i was supposed to do, i got shafted. Im very ang angry about that, but maria what are you going to do, if given the chance, about the wide open Southern Border . Last week was a complete disaster. On wednesday and thursday we saw 10,000 migrants somewhere this country enter this country. They are entering nd then theyre being released into the country. Many of them are going to new york and other big cities. Thats why eric adams is out of control upset about it. Lets look at these pictures while you tell us what your plan is. Well, my plan is to reinstate the trump policies on the border. If it werent for these governors in texas and florida sending these illegal aliens to the blue cities, it wouldnt be cover. Even people on the left are getting upset about it. Californias an even bigger sanctuary state, so thats why in the book as goes ca and democrats have done to california, its even a worse with state when it comes to coddling illegal aliens. Gavin newsom has expanded the amount of illegal aliens who get taxpayerpaid health care and on and on and on. Maria yeah. We need to stop this from nee the opponent of no, he wont. More.
