Okay. All right. Now this shutdown's getting a little fun. Now we're ratcheting it up a little bit on both sides. Look, we all know how it's going to end or I'm telling you right now how this is going to end. The Republicans are going to strike a deal to continue Obamacare. The Democrats are going to vote to have a vote on reopening the government,

and Obamacare you'll keep paying to make insurance people very wealthy, and nothing will change

in the healthcare industry like that. That's where we're going on this. I know where we're

going to end on this, Ethan Hatcher. Politically, you're 100% correct, but I think Democrats are going

to take a real hit once again in their

approval ratings just because they are going to shoulder the burden of blame for all of this.

By the way, Ethan Hatcher's in for Casey today, Saturday night on the circle.

But so I've been totally disinterested in all of this because I know how it's going to end because the Republicans always huff and they puff and then they give in and that's how the shutdowns work.

But yesterday, now it got a little interesting because the Democrats cast a vote to tank funding of the military, the Pinnacon funding bill. And I said, all right. Now we got to,

now we got to really do that. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Now, this is how, this is how completely disingenuous

these people are. This same bill, you know, there's all these procedural votes and a blah, blah,

blah, you know, and it takes forever. By the way, the final vote, I believe it was 50 to 44.

They need 60 votes.

Democrats claiming in protest, they voted against this because Thune, John Thune,

the leader of the Senate basically said, all right, Democrats, you want to keep

voting to keep the government shut down.

I'll call your bluff.

There's no way you're going to vote against the Pentagon bill, which earlier this year, in an overwhelming fashion, Democrats and Republicans, had voted to move this bill forward that almost always happens.

And now these people are voting against some of them are voting against the very bill they had just voted to move forward, not all that long ago.

Hey, look, when Republicans are caught doing a litany of stupid things, you got to admit there

is some smart strategy behind that move to actually force them on the record to vote against

funding the military.
