ess the government shutdown isn't inevitable now. And that happens in the next day or so. The government's going to shut down. Now it's not the whole government. It's a whole bunch of non-essential stuff. And I say this every time we're in this situation but doesn't it seem weird to you? And would you have designed this system if you were the founders of the country? You're sitting around in your non-air-conditioned room trying to figure out how to make a constitution. Would you have designed a system where the only way you can get a budget passed is by seeing who's willing to torture people not involved in the budget the hardest?

So the way this will work is if the Democrats are willing to torture the people who are going to lose their jobs at least temporarily and they're willing to torture the public for making sure they don't have access to these services while everything's closed. If they can handle the torture longer than the Republicans can torture that same group of people, then they win. They get their way. So whoever is the best torturer of citizens gets to decide what the budget is. Can you imagine a worse system?

If you were going to sit down and no system existed you'd be like all right this is what we're going to do. I think a good way to do a budget would be we will torture third parties, people who are not part of the budget process. And somebody would raise their hand in the back and say excuse me, wouldn't we get a much better result and faster if the only people who were tortured were the people doing the budget? Because then they'd say oh it hurts so bad, I'm going to have to hurry up. No, that feels like that would be painful. So instead we'll torture other people. We'll just torture nameless citizens that we don't know personally but we'll torture a lot of them. We'll get a lot of them. And then it doesn't matter if we do the job or not. We don't even have to do the work of the people. We'll just torture people and however it comes out that's just the way we'll do it. So great job government.

According to the Daily Caller News Foundation there's a Soros-backed group, a leftist group called Indivisible that's trying to work the Democrats to make sure that they stay tight and keep the government closed until all of their stupid funding is returned. Now that would be the funding for exactly the things that we don't want. But they're going to work hard to keep that government closed.

Governor Newsom said in a post talking about the impending shutdown, he says Republicans have control of the House, the Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down, it's on them. Now most of you know that you got to get 60 votes. And that means you need I think seven, probably around sevenish Democrats have to vote for it. And of course they won't. So when Gavin says that the Republicans have control, if you don't pay attention too closely you think hey that means they can do it if they want to. So it's all on them. No, they don't have any power. They have no power.

But his base is probably, let's say 90% of them don't know that it will take some Democrat votes. They just won't even know that. So his post on X works for them because they think oh those stupid damn Republicans, they ruin everything. Then the people who do know that he's lying are going to say oh that's a good post. Because people won't know he's lying. He's a good liar. He's a very good liar. That's why he is dangerous. It's not because he's not capable, it's because he's too capable at the wrong things. Not so good at running a state, but boy can he lie. He's a good liar.

Well YouTube has agreed to pay a 24 million dollar settlement to Trump over a lawsuit about being suspended because of January 6th. So now he's gotten Meta to pay him, let's see Meta paid him 25 million, X paid him 10 million, which seems unfair because you know X was after Twitter and Twitter was the one that kicked him off. Anyway so he's got all this money now coming in and I guess he's going to direct it for the construction of the new White House ballroom. How awesome is it that Trump sued them for his balls? For the balls in the ballroom. I don't know what you're talking about but apparently he's going to get them to pay for his balls.

And you know I'm going to say again what I often say, that Trump has figured out how to monetize all of his problems. So here he is monetizing the fact he got kicked off these platforms and he's going to use that money to build himself a nice ballroom. How much do I love that? I love it totally. It'd be one thing if he was planning to spend that money on himself, you know he doesn't need it, but watching him monetize it for the benefit of the people because we'll get a new ball
