Hey folks, I'm your host, Rick Wilson, and welcome back to the enemies list podcast. We're going to do a double header today.

We're going to go a little longer than usual today, because we've had two major events this week that really deserve your focus and attention.

The first was the Hegg Seth Trump addressed to 800 general staff and flag officers in Quantico, Virginia.

And the second is Donald Trump's government shutdown.

I want to start with the government shutdown because Donald Trump for years jumped up and down. Oh, if a president shuts down the government, it's a shame. He should take the blame.

state of governance in this country. Absolutely. They control the Supreme Court. Absolutely.

What they're asking Democrats to do is to publicly cut their own throats and accept the continuation of Project 2025, except Donald Trump bailing out his buddies in Argentina, accept the government continuing to put mask thugs and mass troops on the streets, to terrorize American citizens and American cities.

The big lie, they have told over and over and over again,

that the Democrats are trying to keep the government closed

so that we can pay for health care for illegal aliens.

First off, you should have heard that phrase

and understood what it was. It was

vomited out of some focus group that Tony Fabrizio did, and now they're going to run with this
