Summary

Federal Funds for Illegal Immigrants
- The piece argues that contrary to public statements, federal tax dollars do go to undocumented immigrants through:
  - Emergency Medicaid (covering ER and maternity care).
  - Improper state claims, citing California as an example.
Democratic Shutdown Demands
- It lists alleged Democratic demands to prevent a shutdown, portraying them negatively:
  - Free healthcare for undocumented immigrants.
  - Restoring funding for NPR and PBS (described as “propaganda machines”).
  - Revoking rural hospital funding in favor of urban sanctuary cities.
  - Climate and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) funding for foreign nations.
  - Continuation of Obamacare subsidies.
Framing of the Shutdown
- Democrats are accused of orchestrating the shutdown to push these demands.
- Chuck Schumer is depicted as trying to “trick” the public into blaming Trump.
- The commentary insists it is a “Schumer shutdown,” not Trump’s fault.
Election Narrative
- The podcast emphasizes that these issues were “on the ballot” and claims voters rejected them by electing Trump.
- It contrasts Trump’s policies with Biden/Harris, presenting Trump as the true defender of rural America and fiscal restraint.
Media Criticism
- Mainstream media (NPR, PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS) are accused of being “state-sponsored” propaganda outlets for Democrats.
- Coverage of positive economic news (like stock market highs) is said to be deliberately downplayed.
Economic Impact
- The shutdown is claimed to cost Americans $400 million per day.
- The Democratic spending package is alleged to include nearly $200 billion in healthcare subsidies for non-citizens.

To great applause in the audience from the Democrats who were there. Now, what did they do? Did they follow to him in that promise? Yeah, they absolutely did.

1:26.5	Now, I'm investing in silver right now because the pricing on it
1:29.5	is amazing. And the upside, well, it's real. I actually have a 100 ounce silver bar. It is actually
