‘ASTONISHING’: JD Vance calls out Democrats’ hypocrisy

‘ASTONISHING’: JD Vance calls out Democrats’ hypocrisy

>> Ainsley: A FOX NEWS ALERT, U U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN AFTER LAST-DITCH SENATE VOTE FAILED TO KEEP IT FUNDED. >> Lawrence: VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE JOINS US NOW. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. YOU BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH AND HAD LEADERSHIP OVER, WHAT ARE THEY ASKING FOR? BECAUSE YOU GUYS MADE IT CLEAR, YOU WANT A CLEAN CR, WHAT DO THEY WANT IN RETURN? >> I WANT TO ANSWER THAT, LET’S STEP BACK FOR A SECOND, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE TO REALIZE FAR LEFT FACTION OF SENATE DEMOCRATS SHUT DOWN GOVERNMENT BECAUSE WE WOULDN’T GIVE THEM HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. IT IS NOT ALL, I WAS GRATIFIED TO SEE MODERATE DEMOCRATS VOTED TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPEN. THIS IS BASICALLY CHUCK SCHUMER, HE IS WORRIED HE WILL GET A PRIMARY CHALLENGE FROM AOC, HE IS SHUTT DOWN TO GIVE IN TO LEF WING COALITION AND PEOPLE WILL SUFFER BECAUSE OF IT. PEOPLE WHO BENEFIT FROM LOW INCOME FOOD PROGRAM WILL SUFFER. IF YOU ARE FLYING TODAY, I HOPE YOU ARRIVE SAFELY AND ON TIME BUT YOU MAY NOT ARRIVE ON TIME, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER IS NOT GETTING PAID TODAY. MILITARY IS NOT GETTING PAID TODAY. WE ARE WHERE WE ARE AND TO YOUR POINT, WHAT DID SENATE DEMOCRATS ASK FOR? INITIALLY THEY WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP WAS A DICTATOR. ABSURD. THEN THEY WANTED HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. NOW THEY SAY THEY WANT AMERICANS TO HAVE LOW COST HEALTHCARE. I AGREE, OF COURSE WE WANT AMERICANS TO HAVE LOW COST HEALTHCARE. LET’S WORK TOGETHER ON THAT, YOU DON’T TAKE THE GOVERNMENT AS HOSTAGE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO ENGAGE IN NEGOTIATION ABOUT HEALTHCARE COSTS. DO NEGOTIATION IN CONTEXT OF OPENING THE GOVERNMENT AND ENSURING ESSENTIAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> Ainsley: SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS A VIDEO RUNNING CONTINUALLY OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE DEMOCRATS IN THE WAY-BACK MACHINE WERE ALWAYS THE ONE THAT THOUGHT SHUTDOWNS WERE R RECKLESS. LISTEN TO THIS. >> IT IS NOT NORMAL TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT WHEN WE DON’T GET WHAT WE WANT. >> IF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN AVERAGE AMERICANS SUFFER MOST. SENIORS WHO RELY ON SOCIAL SECURITY COULD BE THROWN INTO CHAOS. >> FAMILIES WILL BE HURT, FARMERS WILL BE HURT. >> THE SERVICEMEMBERS AND FIREFIGHTERS WILL WORK WITHOUT A PAYCHECK AND BE FURLOUGHED. >> YOU KNOW WHO HURTS? YOU, EVERYDAY PEOPLE AND MOST VULNERABLE, SENIORS, VETERANS, WORKING FAMILIES. >> Ainsley: WHY DIDN’T THEY VOTE TO CONTINUE THE FUNDING? >> SUCH A GOOD POINT. MIKE JOHNSON HAS LEARNED FROM THE TROLLING MONSTER DONALD TRUMP THROWING DEMOCRATS WORDS BACK AT THEM. YOU DON’T SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A POLICY DISAGREEMENT. THERE ARE ESSENTIAL SERVICES APPROPRIATED WE WANT MILITARY TO HAVE PAYMENT AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND ENSURE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS FOOD BENEFITS. YOU DON’T SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE POLICY DISAGREEMENT AND THAT IS WHAT DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE. IT IS ASTONISHING TO GO BACK 20 YEARS, PRETTY MUCH ENTIRE TIME I’VE PAID ATTENTION TO AMERICAN POLITICS I’VE SEEN DEMOCRATS STAND BEFORE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND SAY YOU DON’T SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENTS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT. FAR LEFT FACTION OF DEMOCRATS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GETTING WHAT THEY WANT. WHAT MAKES IT PREPOSTEROUS, THEY SAY THEY WANT TO ENSURE IT IS PREMIUM SUPPORT PROGRAM UNDER O OBAMACARE AND THEY WANT TO KEEP GOING. THAT PREMIUM SUPPORT PROGRAM DOES NOT EXPIRE UNTIL NEXT YEAR SO WHY SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT ON OCTOBER 1 BECAUSE OF PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT EXPIRE FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS. TALK ABOUT IT, NEGOTIATE AND DO WHAT YOU DO IN WASHINGTON, D.C., DON’T SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE YOU DON’T GET WHAT YOU WANT, THAT IS WHAT SENATE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE. >> Brian: FULL SCREEN. YOU MENTIONED POTENTIAL EFFECTSES, MASS FURLOUGH, FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY DON’T GET PASS CHECKS. TRAVEL DELAYS, TSA, SOCIAL SECURITY AND SNAP AND WIC APPLICATION, DELAY IN MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS AND CAREER COUNSELING. THESE ARE SOME THINGS, SMITHSONNIAN AND NATIONAL ZOO COULD BE CLOSED. HOPE SOMEONE FEEDS THE ANIMALS. COULD DEMOCRATS BEGIN TO CRACK? RAND PAUL PAUL ON HIS OWN PLANET BUT FETTERMAN AND ANGUS KING AND CORTEZ-MASTO VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS. COULD OTHER DEMOCRATS NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS BEFORE THE WEEKEND AND VOTE WITH YOU? >> YEAH. BRIAN, I THINK THERE WILL BE. IF YOU LOOK FRANKLY WHEN I TALK TO THE PRESIDENT AND OUR LEGISLATIVE TEAM YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, I THOUGHT WE WOULD GET 53, 54 VOTES, WE GOT 55. THAT MODERATE FACTION OF SENATE DEMOCRATS RECOGNIZES THIS IS UNREASONABLE POSITION. YOU WILL NOT SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE ABOUT A FUNDING PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT EXPIRE FOR A FEW MONTHS. AS POLITICAL PRESSURE BUILDS AND WE HAVE NEGOTIATIONS YOU WILL SEE MORE DEMOCRATS COME TO SIDE OF REASON AND REOPEN GOVERNMENT. I OFFER TO SENATE DEMOCRATS, I AM HAPPY, I’LL GO TO THE CAPITOL NOW TO TALK TO CHUCK SCHUMER AND DEMOCRATS ABOUT PREMIUMS FOR AFFORDABLE EDUCATION ACT AFTER THEY REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. YOU CAN’T REWARD THIS HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING IF WE ALLOW IT TO BE CONDITIONAL ON DEMOCRATS POLICY DISAGREEMENT. WE WILL NEGOTIATE, WE WANT TO LOWER HEALTHCARE COST FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE INHERITED THIS ECONOMY FROM BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, WE KNOW HEALTHCARE COSTS WERE TOO HIGH UNDER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. IT IS ONE REASON THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY WE’RE LOWERING PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS FOR ALL AMERICANS BY FORCING EUROPEANS AND OTHER COUNTRIES TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE SO AMERICANS CAN PAY LOWER COSTS. WE CARE A LOT, BULLET — BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO NEGOTIATE WITH HOSTAGE TAKERS AND THAT IS WHAT DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE. BRIAN, YOU LISTED OFF THE PROBLEMS, LET ME ADD ANOTHER ONE, THIS IS OCTOBER, WE ARE GOING HURRICANE SEASON, FLOOD INSURANCE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM HURRICANES OR COULD, IS GOING TO DISAPPEAR BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SHUT DOWN. REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT AND NEGOTIATE ABOUT DEMOCRATS HEALTHCARE POLICY IDEAS WHICH WE’RE HAPPY TO DO ONLY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS OPEN. >> Lawrence: MR. VICE PRESIDENT, ONE LIE CONTINUING TO BE TOLD THEY ARE NOT GIVING FUNDING TO ILLEGAL HEALTHCARE. CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO OUR AUDIENCE WHY THAT IS NOT TRUE? >> YEAH, THIS IS A DEMOCRATIC TALKING POINT, THEY SAY WE ARE NOT GIVING HEALTHCARE BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS. THERE ARE TWO BIDEN-ERA PROGRAMS THAT GAVE TAXPAYER HEALTHCARE MONEY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT WE TURNED OFF WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK OVER IN JANUARY. PROGRAM ONE, THERE IS A LOT OF EMERGENCY HEALTHCARE AT HOSPITALS PROVIDED TO ILLEGAL ALIENS FUNDED BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WE TURNED OFF THAT FUNDING, WE WANT AMERICAN CITIZENS TO BENEFIT FROM HOSPITAL SERVICES NOT TO BE TAXED AND HAVE HOSPITAL SERVICES GO TO ILLEGAL ALIENS. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GAVE MASS PAROLE TO MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY MADE PAROLEES ELIGIBLE FOR HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS. IN THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL REPUBLICANS TURNED OFF THAT FUNDING FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS AND DEMOCRATS WANT TO TURN IT BACK ON. IN THEIR INITIAL PROPOSAL, FIRST THING THEY WANT TO REOPEN GOVERNMENT, THEY TURNED THAT MONEY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS BACK ON. IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE MADE UP, NOT A TALKING POINT, IT IS IN THE TEXT OF THE BILL THEY GAVE TO US TO REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. IT IS PREPOSTEROUS TO RUN AWAY FROM IT NOW. SET THAT ASIDE, OPEN GOVERNMENT AND NEGOTIATE ON HEALTHCARE ISSUES. WE WILL NOT SUPPORT HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS, WE WILL WORK WITH THEM TO LOWER HEALTHCARE COSTS FOR AMERICANS IF THEY ARE WILLING TO DO SO. >> Ainsley: PRESIDENT TRUMP SHARED PICTURE FROM MEETINGS WITH HAKEEM JEFFRIES, CHUCK SCHUMER, LEADER THUNE AND MIKE JOHNSON. LAST SHUTDOWN WAS 35 DAYS, AMERICANS CANNOT GO THAT LONG WITHOUT GETTING A PAYCHECK. CAN YOU GIVE US INSIGHT INTO WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT AND HOW WE CAN COMPROMISE? >> Brian: AND THE HATS. >> Lawrence: TRUMP TROLLING THEM WITH HATS. >> THANK YOU, LAWRENCE, MOST IMPORTANT PART, ALSO TRUMP 2028 HAT MADE THEM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THE FOUR OF THEM PLUS ME AND THE PRESIDENT HAVING A GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT HEALTHCARE POLICY. THE PRESIDENT THREW UP HIS HANDS AND SAID, LET’S WORK ON HEALTHCARE POLICY DISAGREEMENT, WE WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE, WE WILL NOT BE TAKEN HOSTAGE. WE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AND GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT. WE WILL NOT REWARD THIS BEHAVIOR. THEIR FIRST PROPOSAL A WEEK AGO WAS TO GIVE HEALTHCARE MONEY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THEY CAME BACK AND SAID WE DON’T HAVE TO DO THAT, LET’S DO THIS OTHER THING. YOU DON’T DO NEGOTIATION LIKE THAT. YOU DON’T TAKE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY HOSTAGE AND THEN TELL THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, GIVE US EVERYTHING WE WANT OR WE WILL SHUT DOWN THE PEOPLE’S GOVERNMENT. IT IS RIDICULOUS. WE HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION, WHERE THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR NEGOTIATING TACTIC WAS UNREASONABLE. IF YOU TAKE HAKEEM JEFFRIES WORDS OR CHUCK SCHUMER’S WORDS AND THEY HAVE SAID FOR DECADES, YOU DON’T SHUT DOWN OVER POLICY DISAGREEMENT AND THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. OPEN UP THE GOVERNMENT AND SIT DOWN AND TALK. >> Brian: YOU HAVE TALKED ENOUGH, YOUR TEAM SAYS YOU HAVE TO GO. MR. VICE PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> Ainsley: THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE AT CHARLIE’S MEMORIAL SERVICE, MILLIONS WATCHED THAT, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, I’M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, HE WAS YOUR GOOD FRIEND. >> THANK YOU, VERY GOOD GUY, TRAGIC FOR OUR
