You're listening to the no Spin News Talking Points edition. You know I went out to LA on Wednesday night. Airport was packed on a Wednesday night, no holidays. I mean it was jam packed. Flight to la, sold out. So Americans are doing what they always do. They're traveling, spending money. I mean I know some are cutting back but boy, I gotta tell you, and everywhere I went this weekend in la, Southern California, tons of people spending money. American consumers drive this economy and the worldwide economy and they need the government to be open to maximize American potential. And that is the subject of this evening Talking Points Memo. So finally after 41 days and it was, this was all contrived. I'll explain it in a moment. The government is now looks like it's going to be reopened. There are more procedural things, but they got 60 senators to okay opening up the government and 10, eight Democrats, eight Democratic senators. And if you want their names, all you got to do is google and then pop up there. And they said okay, but you know most Democrats want to keep the government closed because they closed it, the Democratic Party closed it. What the Republican proposition was, well look, just extend the government spending into January because there's another rigor, moreau has to go in January and we'll talk about the extension of Obamacare fees. That's what it was all about, health care. And Democrats said, no, you got to give everything we want now. And Trump said, blank, you, we're not giving you everything you want. Government shut down. That's it. That's it. Now the Democrats believe they won this controversy because of the election last week. Maybe they did. The polls are back and forth, but a lot of polls say that American people blame Republicans. Okay, that's not true. But what are you going to do? So anyway, it's a complicated but interesting exercise in how corrupt our government is. It is corrupt. It's still the best government in the world as far as our freedom is concerned, but it's corrupt. So Schumer, the senator from New York who's the minority leader, he want to keep the government closed. And since it's not going to stay closed, there are left wing Democrats who are mad at Schumer. Roll the tape. Breaking news. Chuck Schumer needs to be replaced as minority leader for caving to Donald Trump. Look, I may be the first and only member of Congress to say this, but someone needs to start speaking the truth. If you're not willing to fight to stop premium hikes on 20 million Americans, then what are you willing to fight for? There are no premium hikes. There is going back before COVID because during COVID so many people were ill. The government had to spend the money to help those people who were ill. And now by law, the spending for Obamacare is supposed to go back to pre Covid letter. But Democrats don't want that. Ro Khanna doesn't want that. He wants to keep the COVID level spending and then add to it. The ultimate goal being the national health care system is run by Washington D.C. that's what the Democratic Party wants. Okay? Now Schumer, you may remember last March, voted to keep the government open. Okay? He was savagely attacked by the far left. Roll the tape.

Schumer signaled he was going to fight and then he didn't fight.

C
Why was there such a disconnect?
- [05:53]
B
Not even between House leadership and Senate leadership, but between what the Senate minority leader was saying and then what he ultimately did?
- [06:02]
C
Because Schumer acted responsibly in March, but he got hammered so badly that he said never again. Now I'm going to be irresponsible. And he is. And he was intimidated by the far left because Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is going to primary Schumer and she'll beat him in New York State unless things change. I don't think Schumer's even going to try it. Okay, he'll hang it up. I think the elections in four years or whatever. But Schumer does not want to be brutalized by the far left. He's a coward. He is. He's always been that way. He's not going to stand up for anybody but himself. So Schumer knows the right thing to do is to keep the government open, but he's not going to do it because he voted against it, because he doesn't want to get that grief again. And that's the truth. That's absolutely true. Now, Shewin doesn't really care about, in my opinion, I could be wrong socializing medicine in this country. Cares about himself. As I said, that's it. Let's hold onto his power. But the real far left, liberals, they want that socialized medicine. Let me just give you one startling fact. And our friends in Canada can confirm this. There are about 40 million Canadians. There are 343 million Americans. So like Sweden and like other European countries, Ottawa runs the health care system and it tells the doctors what they're going to make and the nurses and the drug companies and sets all the prices. Well, if you want a knee replacement or any kind of what they call elective surgery, got to wait a long time in Canada, sometimes more than a year. You'll be limping around if you need a knee. Okay, so many Canadians come to the United States. There's also a shortage of surgeons in Canada. You know that. Because why spend all that money going to medical school and all that time and then you get out and you're making, you know, okay, money, but you're not making American doctor money. So if that the Canadian system were brought down here, and I was talking to Howie Mandel about that, he's a Canadian, Mandel, and I was on his podcast. I think it's going to be out tomorrow, but we'll get, we'll signal you that when it comes out. And I was talking to him and saying, Howie, the American health care system will collapse because many, perhaps most doctors, particularly in Los Angeles, New York to big cities, they're not going to go into the government run system. They'll go to concierge service and they'll charge whatever they want to charge. And the Constitution allows them to do that. Government's not going to be able to force them. So you have two tiers. The wealthy people like O'Reilly and Howie Mandel, we can buy the concierge service and get our knees replaced anytime we want, but the regular folks can't. They'll get much less care. They'll get physicians assistants instead of doctors because there will be a shortage of doctors if the government runs it. So all it is, I'm sorry to be complicated, but everybody, all of us watching me, listening to me, you're all going to have to go into the health care system, even if you're healthy now, will go wrong. Just know what you're doing. And that's the memo. You're listening to a special edition of the no spin News. Last night, 9 Eastern Time, the Senate voted 60 to 40 to reopen the government. Now, 60 is the threshold of votes the Senate needs to advance a bill to the floor. Got to have 60 votes because that overrides a filibuster. President Trump wanted to blow up the filibuster. That would be a disaster not only for the Republican Party but for the country because if you had a lower threshold majority then you could change laws every two years. You wouldn't have any laws. They'd need to be changing and changing and changing and changing and changing. And that's not what the founding fathers wanted. They wanted stability. All right, so now the bill goes to the House and it will be voted upon tomorrow afternoon and it will pass very enough votes. In the vote last night, the only Republican who defected was Rand Paul. Now I know Dr. Paul and I don't want to say bad things about him, but this guy is not helping the country right now. And it's not anything to do with Republican or this or that. I respect the fact that he's an independent thinker, but he's an obstructionist. Now, he doesn't want to spend any money on anything and he knows that's not the way this system is going to work. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

Support his own party and that causes all kinds of havoc. So they just reached the 60 vote threshold because eight Democrats to their credit said, you know, we've had enough of this shutdown. And they were fettermen. Angus King, Maine. Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada. Jackie Rosa, Nevada. Dick Durbin, Illinois. Jean Shaheen, New Hampshire. Maggie Hassan, New Hampshire. And Tim Kaine, Virginia. I was surprised by Kane. He's a kind of a radical leftist now. So they said, no, we're not going to have it. We'll join the Republicans. And that got passed. All right. We all have. What happened? 41 days to do that. Okay. The longest running governor shutdown in history. Now, the whole thing, as I said, was contrived. And it goes back to last March when the Democrats did open the government because of Chuck Schumer. And we went over this last night. If you are a concierge member, you can get a free transcript of every word I say. I'm not going to repeat the reporting tonight, but I'm going to tell you that the goal of the Democrats was to increase spending on Obamacare. That was the goal for this shutdown. And they said the Republicans will shut it down until you increase the spending. And the Republicans said no. Now, Schumer got hell in March from his own party and saw Ocasio Cortez, the radical leftist congresswoman from New York, start to raise money to run against Schumer the next time around, which I think is four years. And Schumer got nervous. But Schumer is through. He's finished, right? This is his last go around. Now, we looked at this very hard and I'm going to just simplify it. There was a law signed by President Obama to help Americans who cannot afford health insurance get it. And that is called Obamacare. That is worthy. There are some people for no fault of their own who I don't have Any money, they got to have health insurance. Now, in order to give them that or make it very low health payments, other Americans have to buy into the government insurance. You have to have money to give away health insurance. There was a spending level on it for the federal government subsidies. There's a spending level. Once Covid hit, that spending level went whoop, way up because people weren't working, couldn't buy it. But after the COVID stopped, the Obamacare spending is supposed to go back down to the original point in 2010 when it was passed. Democrats said, no, we want to keep the higher spending that was mandated under Covid. The Republicans said, no, we have a $38 trillion debt. You can't spend any more. Now, the Democrats knew the Republicans were going to say that because it would be like a Republican saying the Democrats, we're going to shut down the government unless you back abortion being illegal. Democrat Party's never going to do that. It's the same thing. So Schumer knew the Republicans are going to say, we're not going to increase the spending. We'll talk about a new threshold in negotiations, but we're not giving you a permanent bump up in health care spending. We're not. And that is what shut it all down. Does everybody understand it? I hope so. I can't make it any simpler than that. Now, after the election of last week, where the Democrats did well, a segment of the Democratic senators said, okay, we won. We got our people elected. So we don't want to continue this because millions of people are being hurt. And that's to their credit. Those eight senators I mentioned, the other senators on the Democratic side don't care how many people get hurt, led by Uncle Bernie Sanders. Go. Look, I think it was a terrible, terrible vote. At a time when we have a broken health care system, this is going to make our health care system even worse. And that vote last night paves the way for 50, 13 million people to be thrown off Medicaid. Not telling the truth. Nobody's thrown off Medicaid. The rules changed. If you are an adult who can work, you must look for work or volunteer in order to get Medicaid. Is that unreasonable? No, it's not. There are medical exceptions. There are mental health exceptions. There are every exception. But if you can work and you're getting free health care from your state through Medicaid, you got to look for work. Sanders never mentions that. He has lost all of my respect. He is a charlatan. He's a communist, hardcore radical, dangerous. Now, why don't Americans understand what I'm just telling you? Because they don't get accurate information. We have millions of people watch and listen to me. But there are 343 million people in this country, okay? And most of them don't listen to me because they don't care or they can't, whatever, I don't know. But they don't know what happening. All they hear is the media, 80% supporting the Democrats. Never tell you the truth, okay? This is what they hear. Roll the tape. Democrats. You sold out the entire shutdown not to get what you wanted, but for a promise to not get what you wanted later. Where in the art of war. Hold on. Where in the art of. Okay, here it is. I got it. Sun Tzu said, never press your advantage. It's unseemly. Fighting's hard. How about a snack? No surprise the vast majority of Democrats do not want this. None of those eight Senate Democrats are up for reelection next year. And two have announced they are retiring from the Senate. What a disappointing way to end your career. Reminds me when Journey released their last single, we Stopped Believin'. All right, so this is the drumbeat in America. The late nights, the Saturday night lives, the street press on television, on and on and on, never explaining what the real subject is. So the people who don't know much, all right, they absorb this and you hear them in the crowd. Yeah. What are you yaying for? If you come on and I interview you, I can guarantee 100% you won't know anything. Okay? Now, it worked for the Democrats. NBC News poll, a very simple poll. Thousand registered voters. Who do you think is more to blame for the government shutdown? Democrats, 42%. Republicans, 52%. Okay, it worked. It worked because most people do not pay attention. They don't know what's happening, and they're besieged on television news by Donald Trump's latest.

And restrictions may apply Statement about whatever it may be. That's all they hear. You're listening to a special edition of the no Spin News. So the battle for power in America hinges on how are you doing? If Americans are doing well on November 3, 2026, the midterms, then Trump will retain his power control over the House and the Senate. If the economy is not doing well, the Democrats will make gains. That is the truth. All right? No excuses, no looking back. It's Biden's fault. None of that's going to matter. It's how much money you have and how comfortable you are in your day to day life. Now the Democrats are already telling the world that the US Economy is terrible. Roll it. Trump's economy sucks. Last month the jobs report was so bad that Donald Trump felt compelled to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to distract from how bad the report was. That's just a lie. So unemployment right now last month 4.3%. When Trump took office, it was 4.0%. So it ticked up point three, which is nothing. Nothing. If you want a job, you can get a job. Maybe not the perfect job, but there's plenty of jobs. So Lou, as usual, is misleading whoever listens to him. And I think that's only his wife and maybe his mom. Okay? Nevertheless, the Democrats and the corporate media that supports the Democratic Party is pounding that the economy is terrible. So Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besant goes on MSNBC to try to counter this go. So you don't believe that all the people went to vote last Tuesday on the issue of affordability. My rent's too high. I can't afford to buy a house. Groceries are too expensive. You think they're just misperceiving what's happening in their lives? I think that they, that they're in that we inherited an affordability crisis. We have slowed the price increases down, and they are going to continue to slow down and that real working class wages will go up and that that will address the affordability issue. And, you know, I think this is what Democrats are afraid to do. The they've gone to the courts to try to stop President Trump and this great economy. He's talking about the tariffs. Of course, now that's a hope. It's not a policy. The Treasury Secretary hopes that things will improve for all Americans, and I hope that, too. I'm not for political reasons, but I want you to be prosperous. Okay, let's look at the facts as they stand now. Oh, food. All right, we all have to eat. And since President Trump took office, overall grocery prices are up 1%. That's it. So four years of Biden, one year of Trump, a little less, up 1%. Certainly that's flat, what they would call flat. Bacon is up 5%. So if you're a big bacon person, you pay a little bit more, but not a lot. Ground beef steak thing, that's up 12%. That's a lot. So the steak people, the beef people, they got to pay more. How about eggs? Spaghetti and eggs down. Eggs are down 16% since Trump took office. All right, Spaghetti and macaroni, down 12%. Those are significant declines in food. Boneless chicken, up 2%. Chicken is American's favorite meal. Do you know that? Chicken up to, it's flat. Okay, how about utilities? Home heating, air conditioning, up 11%. Kind of. That's kind of disturbing. That's something, you know, that can hurt you. Gas at the pump. This is the national average now down 1%. But here's the scandal. Okay. No, the real scandal's coming up. Here's. This is not great, but if you get Obamacare, that means you're a lower earner. Wage earner, it's down 14%, which is good. Okay. But if you're working in a corporation, family of four, your health insurance is up 7%. That's not good. And health insurance is a problem. We got to redefine it in Congress. But the Republicans should be leading the way to redefine how this is doled out. Here's the worst insurance. Oh home insurance across the country up an average of 3. 38% since Donald Trump took office. Auto insurance up 15% on average. That's where people are getting hammered right there. Now insurance is a state situation. States run the insurance this holiday.

But I'm telling you, President Trump's got to get involved with this. You got to because this can bankrupt you. That's an enormous jump. And the reason is that the insurance companies are paying for the storms and all that, the hurricanes, the fires and then they pass the cost onto all of us. If you live in Maine, if there's a hurricane in Florida, the Allstate and the get go and all these people, they just slap it on there. I'm telling you that's got to be dealt with. So if you add it all up unemotionally, economy, this cost of living in America could be lower, should be lower, but it's not a disaster. But that's not the way the voters are seeing it. Finally, home mortgage rates. You want to buy a house under Trump today 6.22% when Biden left office 6.85% home buying more affordable today. Do you know any of this? Because the media doesn't report, it won't report anything that's favorable to the Republican administration. Summing up, I don't know how it's going to go, but by April of this year, if people feel better about their financial situations, the Republicans will probably hold. They feel worse. You're listening to a special edition of the no spin News. After 43 days, the House voted last night 222 to 209 to open up the government. Six Democrats crossed over swazi New York, Perez, Washington, Wayard Texas, Davis, North Carolina, Golden, Maine, Gray, California. Two Republicans defected, Massie of Kentucky and Stubby of Florida. Gray re Stube. Okay, so by capitulating to the Republicans. And what do I mean by that? Well, Democrats whole thing was we're not going to open a government until you allow the COVID level spending for Obamacare. And the Republicans said no, by law that spending has to come back down because it's crazy anyway. And we have a $38 trillion debt. So you're not going to blackmail us into closing the government to get subsidies you're not entitled to. It was never a chance Republicans would cave to that. Never. And the Democrats knew it. So the government shut down. Here's what I said on News Nation last night. So on the record, I don't care about the complaint. Who cares what they say on the record is we, the Democratic Party shut down the United states government for 43 days and got bupkis. That's pretty embarrassing I think, right? Isn't that embarrassing? Well, I mean. Go ahead. Yes, Bill, it's embarrassing if you're looking at it from the macro. If you're somebody that's just paying attention to the final result. But what other result is there? So both of my colleagues Cuomo and Stephen A. Were saying, well now the country's more aware of spending on health care. Okay? Millions of people have to suffer for that. Come on. I mean any government policy that hurts the people has to be re examined. Okay? Now the Democrats may have won a small victory last week in the Guberturo race in New Jersey. It was never in play in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Couples ran a bad candidate and it was never even close. But New Jersey was kind of close, quoting the polls. And then Mandani wasn't close either in New York City. But the Democrats are saying, well people were angry. And that's true, absolutely true. People are angry about high prices and they were angry about the government shutdown. And when Americans get angry, non ideological Americans who's not involved in party politics, they vote against the incumbency. John Adams started with John Adams. People were teed off about Adams and they elected Jefferson because Adams a little arrogant and haughty and did some stuff that people don't hold it. It's always that way. So the Democrats might have won that, but again overall they were embarrassing. It was absolutely embarrassing. So you've got a situation where the press, the corrupt media supports The Democrats about 80% even they couldn't make this a victory for the Dems. They tried. They couldn't do it.
