All right, folks, good morning. Today is Wednesday, November the 11th. We got a lot to get

into. So let's do exactly that. It appears that after the Democrats caved, and I know people are

taking issue with the idea that I and others have said the Democrats caved, because only eight of

the Democrats cave, all I'm going to say is if those Democrats, the eight of them were under the

leadership of Nancy Pelosi, they would never, okay? Because if they really, if it really was that these eight Democrats went rogue and I know people want to say that and frame it that way, where is the punishment for going rogue? Because I wish a motherfucker would go road on a Nancy Pelosi and still keep their committee assignments. I wish you would go rogue on a Nancy Pelosi

and buck what the rest of the caucus is doing and still maintain your staff, still maintain your

office. None of those things seem to be in play for the Democrats who decided to cave. And so I'm not

with this whole idea that we're going to reframe this as Chuck Schumer didn't really know and Chuck Schumer wasn't aware of what was happening. There is no way that you are in leadership

and that is the case that you don't know what your body, what your constituents are doing, what your members are doing. And when we have people like Representative Sheehan who's already gone on Fox News and said, yeah, no, leadership was fully aware of what was happening, We know it was not something that just these eight rogue Democrats were engaged in.

So sorry, I respectfully fully. fully aware of what was happening. We know it was not something that just these eight rogue

Democrats were engaged in. So sorry, I respectfully fully disagree with people who are trying

to reframe it that way. And considering that they got a whole bunch of nothing, well,

let's talk about what is currently in play. And it appears, at least as of the time of this recording. by the time y'all hear this afternoon, y'all know News be News and so there could be updates that are necessary. But as of the time of this recording today, this morning, it appears the knives are out for the Democrats and the Republicans seem like they're on the attack. I don't know if these attacks are going to work, however, but let's get into it because

what you need to know is that they're not trying to pass a clean resolution. They are instead

trying to pass a resolution that's got a whole lot of substantive elements baked into it that defies

the notion of a clean CR. And some of those restrictions include restrictions on abortion. Yeah,

according to the reports,

Senate Republicans have now declared that they are open to having a conversation about extending

the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, but only and only if Democrats will comply with

their stricter abortion restriction mandates. The Republicans are basically trying to use the Hyde

Amendment, which is a piece of legislation that basically says federal funds cannot be used for
