‘The Five’: Be careful what you shut down…

>> WELL, IT’S FRIDAY AND IT’S ALSO DAY THREE OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SEEMS WILLING TO LET IT ALL JUST BURN TO THE GROUND. ALL FOR LETTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GET TAXPAYER FUNDED HEALTHCARE. ONCE AGAIN VOTING DOWN A CLEAN RESOLUTION TO GET THE GOVERNMENT BACK UP AND RUNNING, AND TODAY WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KAROLINE LEAVITT BRINGING RECEIPTS TO THE BRIEFING. >> IN 2023 UNDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA’S, QUOTE, ENTIRE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WAS BEING BOMBARDED WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND FORCING AMERICAN PATIENTS TO ENDURE LORENING WAIT TIMES. IN DENVER COLORADO THE CEO OF DENVER HEALTH STATED THAT 8,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MADE 20,000 VISITS TO THE CITY’S HEALTH SYSTEM IN 20 23 LEAVING AN UNCOMPENSATED BILL TOTALLING OVER $10 MILLION. SO WHEN AN ILLEGAL ALIEN GOES TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHO’S PAYING FOR IT? THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER. >> BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SHUT DOWN FOR BECAUSE THIS FIGHT IS SHINING A BIG UGLY SPOTLIGHT ON JUST HOW BAD THE DEMOCRATS’ MESSAGING REALLY IS. AS WELL AS HOW FRUSTRATED THE RANK AND FILE ARE WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF HAKEEM JEFFRIES AND CHUCK SCHUMER CASE IN POINT THEIR BIG SHUT DOWN LIVE STREAM YOUTUBE MARATHON IS GETTING MOCKED ACROSS THE BOARD AFTER IT MANAGED TO PULL IN BARELY, LISTEN TO THIS, 400 VIEWERS. I KNOW. >> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY. >> DON, WE CAN’T HEAR YOU. >> GENZ IS IN THE HOUSE. >> THAT’S RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING THAT I HEAR IS FROM THE PROVIDERS. >> SHE JUST TEXTED ME. OH, I THINK WE’RE ON. >> BUT ARE YOU REALLY, REALLY READY TO FIGHT FOR HEALTHCARE OVER BILLIONAIRES? OH, COME ON. I CAN’T HEAR YOU. ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT FOR HEALTHCARE OVER BILLIONAIRES? THAT’S MORE LIKE IT. >> SURE CHANGED HEARTS AND MINDS THERE, WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS THE SCARE TACTICS ALWAYS COME OUT. DEMOCRATS ARE GOING FULL APOCALYPSE MODE OVER THE SHUTDOWN. >> WE ARE LIVING IN AN UNPRECEDENTEDLY DANGEROUS MOMENT, MAYBE THE WORST CRISIS IN AMERICA LITERALLY SINCE THE CIVIL WAR. >> THERE ARE GOING TO BE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THESE DECISIONS, AND THAT, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, THE REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT. >> WE’RE NOT GOING TO SIT THERE AND SIMPLY RUBBER STAMP DONALD TRUMP’S EXTREME AGENDA AND THE HARM THAT THEY CONTINUE TO DO ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. IT’S AN CONTINUATION ON AN ALL-OUT ASSAULT ON THE HEALTHCARE AND WELL-BEING OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> LISTLESS AIMLESS IF HE CANLESS WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE MESSENGER OF THE BUNCH. >> Jesse: I LIKE ALL BECAUSE THEY’RE SO BAD. POLITICS IS A LOT LIKE TELEVISION AND THAT’S A LOT WHY HEGSETH IS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND TRUMP’S PRESIDENT. >> WAR. >> Jesse: WAR, EXCUSE ME. AND EVERYONE AROUND THE TABLE KNOWS YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST LIGHTING AND WARDROBE AND WRITERS AND IF THEY PUT THAT SPOTLIGHT ON YOU AND YOU HAVE NO TALENT, YOU HAVE NO SHOW. >> Greg: I DISAGREE BUT ANYWAY GO AHEAD. >> Jesse: WELL YOU LOOK AT CNN MAYBE. BUT WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE — WE’VE GIVEN THEM EVERYTHING AND THEY JUST FALL FLAW ON THEIR FACE. YOU WOULD THINK THE DEMOCRATS WITH BIG TECH, WITH HOLLYWOOD, WITH ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET, THEY CAN’T PULL IT TOGETHER. AND YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE MOST UNINSPIRING, NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE, DUMB, LACKEY PEOPLE, AND THEY’RE BEING EXPOSED. IT’S THE KAMALA PROBLEM. THE MORE YOU SEE THEM AND THE MORE YOU HEAR FROM THEM, THE LESS YOU LIKE THEM. AND IF YOU CAN’T PRODUCE SOMETHING WITHOUT AUDIO PROBLEMS AND WITHOUT DEAD AIR, HOW ARE WE GOING TO PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF HEALTHCARE? THE PEOPLE WHO YOU PUT OUT THERE, IT’S ALMOST LIKE SUBCONSCIOUSLY, DO I WANT TO BE WITH THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE WHEN I LOOK AT THEM. YOU KNOW? DO YOU WANT TO BE WITH A GUY WHO HAS A SOMBRERO ON HIS HEAD AND WHO’S COMPLAINING THAT THERE’S A SOMBRERO AND WHO THINKS THE SOMBRERO’S RACIST? DO YOU WANT TO BE ON THE SIDE OF SOMEONE THAT LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE CHUCK SCHUMER OR ON THE SIDE OF SOMEONE THAT SOUNDS LIKE CROCKETT? NO. AND SO POLITICS IS VERY STUPID THAT WAY. IT’S VERY SIMPLE. BUT WE GET IT. AND IT’S BEING EXPOSED RIGHT NOW, AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOOD ON IT ON THEIR SIDE ARE THE DUMB ONES. LIKE AOC AND BERNIE. THEY’RE TELEGENIC KIND OF GOOD COMMUNICATORS BUT THEY HAVE THE WORST IDEAS. SO YOU HAVE ONE WING OF THE PARTY AND THE OTHER WING OF THE PARTY AND THE TALENT GAP IS JUST OFF THE CHARTS AND IDEALOGICALLY THEY’RE AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER. SO YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT YEARS FOR THIS TO END AND RIGHT NOW YOU’RE SEEING THE SHUTDOWN EXPOSE IT ALL. >> JESSICA WHY DOES YOUR PARTY WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT FOR TAXPAYER FUNDED HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS >> Jessica: IT’S JUST NOT WHAT’S GOING ON AND WE KNOW THAT THAT’S THE CASE BECAUSE LEADER JEFFRIES, WHEN HE WAS BEING INTERVIEWED, SAID THEY KNOW THAT IT’S A LIE BECAUSE WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY IN THE OVAL OFFICE IT CAME UP FOR A SUM TOTAL OF TEN SECONDS. MIKE JOHNSON, TOON HIS CREDIT HE DOES A TON OF INTERVIEWS, BUT EVERYBODY IS PUSHING BACK SHOWING THE ACTUAL TAX WHICH SAYS, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE LAWFULLY HERE. IF YOU WANT TO PULL IT OUT, GO TO THE SECTION THAT ACTUALLY DELINEATES. >> PAGE 57, I’LL PASS IT OVER. THAT’S THE BILL FROM CHUCK SCHUMER. >> NO, I KNOW, AND IF YOU GO TO THE PART BELOW THE ONE BEING HIGHLIGHTED ON ALL THE GOP ACCOUNTS YOU’LL SEE THAT IT’S FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE LAWFULLY PROTECTED STATUS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MATTERS WHATEVER. >> Greg: THAT’S WHAT’S BEING EXPLOITED. >> Jesse: WHEN YOU’RE AN ASYLUM SEEKER YOU GET FREE HEALTHCARE >> Jessica: YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT, YOU WANT TO MAKE FUN OF US. >> Greg: NO, WE JUST WANT YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT YOU’RE IDENTIFYING AS LEGITIMATE ISN’T. >> Jessica: THE THING IS, YOU CAN MOCK DEMOCRATIC MESSENGERS ALL THAT YOU WANT, BUT THEN THAT JUST SAYS SOMETHING TERRIBLE ABOUT THE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE WE ARE LAPPING YOU WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. WASHINGTON POST, 17 PERCENTAGE POINT ADVANTAGE FOR THE REPUBLICANS AS TO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. MARIST NEW YORK TIMES SIENNA MOURNING CONSULT SHOULD WE EXTEND THE ACA SUBSIDIES. THE KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION 78% SAY YES INCLUDING A MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS, INCLUDING A MAJORITY OF MAGA REPUBLICANS. WASHINGTON POST 71% YES. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTING TODAY, INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AIDS ARE DISCUSSING PROPOSALS TO EXTEND THE ENHANCED SUBSIDIES FOR THE FORDABLE CARE ACT HEALTH OFFICIAL PLANS OFFICIALS SAID. REPUBLICANS KNOW THEY’RE BEING BLAMED FOR IT AND RIGHTLY SO THEY’RE TRYING TO KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD SAYING WE’LL DEAL WITH IT NEXT TIME BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR PLAN CHOICES IN NOVEMBER, NOT IN DECEMBER WHEN WE’RE GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS AGAIN. SO GO AHEAD, MOCK THE LIVE STREAM. ALSO CHECK OUT THE GOP ACCOUNT ON YOUTUBE, THE VIDEOS REGULARLY GET FOUR OR FIVE HUNDRED VIEWS. IT’S KIND OF REMINDING ME OF 2020 WHEN EVERYONE WHO WOULD FAN OUT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS WOULD SAY DONALD TRUMP WON, JOE BIDEN WASN’T REALLY ELECTED AND THEN THEY GET IN A COURTROOM AND THEIR TAIL IS BETWEEN THEIR LEGS AND THEY’RE LIKE NO, NO, NO, I DON’T THINK THAT, I DON’T THINK THAT. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS. YOU’RE IN THE OVAL OFFICE YOU ACT LIKE A BIG BOY AND DEAL WITH HAKEEM JEFFRIES AND CHUCK SCHUMER GET ON TISSUING V AND SAY IT’S ABOUT ILLEGALS. >> Greg:S ABOUT ILLEGALS. >> GREG, THE POLLS ALSO SAID, JESSICA YOU LOVE THE POLLS, IT ALSO SAID KAMALA HARRIS WOULD BE THE 47TH PRESIDENT. THAT DIDN’T QUITE WORK OUT. >> Greg: FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS KIND OF LIKE THE TOUGH SPOT THE DEMS ARE IN. IF THEY AGREE WITH YOU IN THAT YOU’RE FUNDING ILLEGALS THEY’RE SCREWED AND IF THEY SAY THEY AREN’T THEY EXPLAIN SOMETHING THEY ARE OBLIGED TO DRILL DOWN FURTHER ON WHICH IS WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE ASYLUM PROCESS, WE KNOW IT’S A CORRUPT PROCESS AND KAYLEIGH’S RIGHT IF YOU LOOK AT 71109 YOU SEE MEDICAID ALIEN ELIGIBILITY. THIS IS A PROCESS THAT WAS GAINED BY ILLEGALS, OKAY. FIRST OF ALL THE LIVE STREAM I LOOKED BACK AND I FOUND OUT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAS MORE VIEWS THAN THEIR LIVE STREAM? ROSIE O’DONNELL’S COLONOSCOPY. >> Jesse: NO. >> Greg: WASN’T EVEN RECORDED, 400 REAL PERSON VIEWS. NO SURPRISE NOBODY’S WATCHING THIS AND WHY IT LOOKS BAD AND IT DOES LOOK BAD. THEY ARE HUMORLESS AND BORING BUT THEY ALSO DON’T HAVE ANY CREDIBILITY. THIS PARTY, YOUR PARTY, LIED TO ALL OF AMERICA ABOUT BIDEN’S STATE SO HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ANYBODY TO SHOW UP FOR YOUR LIVE STREAM AFTER GAS LIGHTING THEM ABOUT THE BIGGEST POLITICAL RISK EVER TAKEN. THAT’S LIKE EXPECTING PEOPLE TO COME TO YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY AFTER YOU BURN DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT YOU DID. YOU BURNED DOWN THE PARTY. SO I DO THINK ABOUT SHUTDOWNS. HOW IS IT A SHUTDOWN WHEN ESSENTIAL SERVICE RESIST MAINTAINED, NOT UNESSENTIAL. I KNOW THAT KENNEDY AGREES WITH MOW ON THIS. IT CREATES A QUESTION IN YOUR HEAD. WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED IN THE FIRST PLACE IN NON-ESSENTIAL SERVICES THAT WE ARE PAYING FOR. BY ITS VERY DEFINITION, THE GOVERNMENT MAINTAINS STUFF THAT YOU CANNOT DO YOURSELF. SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ESSENTIAL STUFF, LAW ENFORCEMENT, MILITARY OPERATIONS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICAL CARE, VA BENEFITS, THESE ARE ALL NOT AFFECTED BY THE SHUTDOWN. THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T HEAR ANYBODY COMPLAINING. THAT’S WHY IT DOESN’T MAKE NEWS EXCEPT ON SHOWS LIKE THIS. SO IF THAT IS ESSENTIAL, ISN’T THAT ENOUGH? THE DEMS HAVE TRANSFORMED THE IDEA OF GOVERNMENT, WHICH WAS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE, INTO AN ENDLESS WELL OF FREE BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY DON’T FEEL THE PAIN OF PAYING FOR IT WE DO. WE WON’T NOTICE WHEN THEY NICKEL AND DIME US TO DEATH. I WANT TO STEP BACK FROM THE SQUABBLE AND GET TO THE ESSENTIAL POINT. HOW DO WE GET HERE AND HOW DO WE PREVENT IT FROM DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY? IF AMERICA, BEFORE TRUMP, WAS A BOAT WITH A BIG LEAK IN IT, HE CAME AND HE SEALED THE BOAT, BUT IT’S STILL FILLED WITH WATER. SO HE’S IN THE PROCESS OF EXTRACTING THE WATER. MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS IN THE BOAT SOAKING UP BENEFITS, DRAINING RESOURCES, BURDENING CITIZENS WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE YOU CAN’T HAVE — MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE FREE BENEFITS BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CLOSED BORDER, RIGHT? OR YOU CAN HAVE AN OPEN BORDER AND NO FREE STUFF. BUT HOW DO THE DEMOCRATS, AND THEY CAN’T EXPLAIN THIS, HOW CAN A COUNTRY SURVIVE WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPEN BORDER AND FREE STUFF? NO ADULT CAN REASONABLY ANSWER THAT AND SAY IT CAN HAPPEN. IT’S A RECIPE FOR DOOM. IF YOU HAVE A FREE CANDY STORE NEXT TO A SCHOOL IT’S GOING TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS IN A DAY. THE DEMS SHOULDN’T BE DEFIANT ABOUT THIS, THEY SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT THE ADULTS ARE BACK IN THE ROOM, JESSICA, AND TAKING THE HEAT THAT YOUR PARTY SO COWARDLY AVOIDED. IN YOUR FACE. >> Jessica: MY GOD I’VE HAD A TOTAL CHANGE OF HEART, THANK YOU SO MUCH! >> I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT ROSIE’S COLONOSCOPY. >> Greg: YOU WANT TO SEE SOME STUFF ON MY SNOEN CHECK THIS OUT LOOKS LIKE THE HOLLAND TUNNEL. >> GREG DOWNLOADED IT. KENNEDY. >> THE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THAT HAS GONE AWAY BECAUSE WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS, ROSIE’S COLONOSCOPY AND THE HOLLAND TUNNEL AND WHATEVER EUPHEMISM WE CAN APPLY HERE BECAUSE IT IS ALL A GIANT HOT TURD OF OVERSPENDING AND SORRY TO SAY IT BUT BOTH PARTIES ARE TO BLAME AND WE GOT HERE BECAUSE THE MORE MONEY YOU GET FROM TAXPAYERS, THE MORE CONTROL YOU HAVE OVER THE GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG THERE. ARE MANY THINGS THAT MIGHT GO AWAY THAT, HONESTLY, WE WON’T REALLY MISS. BUT IT IS A DISINGENUOUS ARGUMENT TO SAY THAT THE MEDI-CAL SPENDING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS ONLY STATE SPENDING FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE STATES WHERE GOVERNOR NEWSOM DECIDE IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO JUST START WRITING CHECKS TO PEOPLE HERE ILLEGALLY. THAT IS MEDI-CAL. IT WAS EXTENDED TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SO MARK POE CAN, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM WISCONSIN SOYED THAT’S NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISN’T FUNDING THAT, ACTUALLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES BECAUSE MEDI-CAL IS FUNDED BY MEDICAID, MEDICAID IS FUNDED HALF BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND HALF BY THE STATE UNLESS YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THE 90% OF PEOPLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE ACA, WHICH IS A HORRIBLE SYSTEM WHICH ALREADY HAD HIGH PREMIUMS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND GOT A GOOSE SO PEOPLE WOULDN’T DIE SO THEY DO AFFORD THEIR HEALTHCARE AND NOW THAT THE PANDEMIC IS OVER, YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN SPENDING AT THOSE LEVELS. AND TO DO SO WAS A HEARTLESS GAMUT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THAT WAS RUN BY DEMOCRATS WHO MADE THE BIG PROMISE OF SOCIALIZED MEDICINE BUT THE REALITY IS THE MORE GOVERNMENT YOU HAVE, THE MORE PROBLEMS YOU HAVE, ESPECIALLY A
