I mean, they're the ones that can vote to keep the government open if they wanted to, unless there's some kind of problem with the vote on their side of the aisle.
I don't know where they need some democratic help.
Maybe, you know, it has more to do with the Republicans shutdown than it has
The thing is, they have a tremendous push right now blaming the Democrats.
Of course they do.
And the reason they're doing it is they want to identify Democrats as the people who have shut down the government.
They're there first.
They're defining them first.
And the Democrats are doing, I think, a pretty good job of getting out there saying, no, it's not us.
But they were a little late to the game because they came up with this thought yesterday.
Remember, we're talking about it.
Well, OK, it's great idea.
Thanks for coming up with it a day before the shutdown, not even a day before the shutdown, during the shutdown.
Um, anyway, this is, uh, this is it.
This is where we're at.
It's, uh, referrals for a lot of, uh, the government workers layoffs.
Uh, and the thing that kind of boggles my mind when I get, we're going to keep talking about this all morning long, but, uh, uh, the, uh, the threat from Trump over this shutdown is so stunning to me how.
The American public, the voters out there, even the Megas, even the CJs and my mega friend in Milwaukee, they have not noticed that he's threatening to fire people permanently.
Is that a positive thing for voters to think about?
I mean, you know, he's gonna crush the voters.
He's gonna crush Americans to make his point.
Is that really the thing you want people to think about?
One
who wants to blame the Democrats for everything, but he's the one that's sending the military into the streets.
He wants disruption.
He wants chaos.
He wants to make people upset about the government shutdown, so they'll go out in the streets and they'll demonstrate and then...
and stir things up and blame the Democrats for all that and then call an emergency.
You know, it's like an emergency.
We got to
send
I have so many voices that I put on.
You know, I like to have them say it in their own words.
I don't want to sit here and read what they're saying.
Could we queue up, cut five?
We'll be playing this a few times this morning, but this is Trump in his threat that I just made.
If anybody said this to you, would you think kindly of them?
Would you forgive them?
No, let's listen.
So the last person that wants to shut down is us now.
With that being said, we can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them.
Like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like.
And you know all you all know Russell vote.
He's become very popular recently because he can trim the budget to a level that you couldn't do any other way.
So they're taking a risk by having a shutdown because because of the shutdown, we can do things medically and other ways, including benefits.
We can cut large numbers of people.
We don't want to do that.
But we don't want fraud, waste and abuse.
And, you know, we're cutting that.
It's the plan not medically but surgically is they're going to make those cuts We're gonna make those cuts medically all right My head just can't wrap around most of this but anyway, that's his threat now if you get a threat like that Do you think well gee?
I really I'm glad I voted for him He's targeting
us.
He's targeting us with these threats to cut things we need and love and cherish in this country.
And it's specific to one party.
He's doing this to the Democrats, the
There were some very dangerous calls to action from the president.
Wow.
And we'll get, by the way, we're going to get to that.
That is I mean it is a total takedown of this country if you thought we were in a dictatorship Maybe now you know we are and you can take my word for it who called it early on this thing, but yeah
Yeah, this is a dictatorship and he's just kind of rolling everything out at this point and in front of the generals, in front of the admirals, they're just sitting in silence.
His threat was just...
Wonderful at the beginning.
Yeah, you know, yeah, thanks for it.
You don't have to clap.
You don't have to come.
No one clapped.
Morning, guys.
I have to be honest, it's me.
I'm the head of Antifa.
It was all my idea.
I tried to get all my top brass together to raise them about their weight and their attire and how they carry themselves
Protesting for us is serious business, you know.
F-A-F-O guys, right?
hurting cats.
A lot of my people have multiple jobs and they're just lazy.
I wanted to meet at Starbucks to discuss things, but I don't want to support the man so we can't buy anything there, right?
But the main reason to get everybody together was try to figure out, you know, what is the radical left?
We don't we can't quite figure that out.
Somebody help me out.

Our soldiers are too overweight apparently coming from the orange clown that is 300 pounds.
That's right.

58 degrees currently highs today into the upper 70s.

We'll take care of that.
We can't get to our text right away here, but we love to hear from you.
Go to the Sipping Media app, choose WMDX, text us or voice notice.
We'd love to hear from you or give us a call as well.
We're listening and we want to have that conversation
probably secret if there is well then we'll we'll do what we can to tell people where it is but I want to get to this cut this is again the big argument is from the right side of the aisle the magas are saying that Democrats are demanding health care money for health care for illegal
immigrants, okay, which is a complete lie and the fact that they feel so free to lie.
Every one of them is saying this.
They are lying through their teeth and they have this freedom now to say anything they want because the megacult believes
everything they hear these people say.
And they're saying it with authority, so it must be true.
But here's Caitlin Collins on CNN.
She was grilling Mike Johnson about this supposed demand to pay for illegal immigrants' health care.
Let's listen.
We've rolling the
media.
Yeah, I'm just saying that the point about giving people who are here illegally health care is not exactly what is in their No, it is it
what they're immigrants who have legal status on who's eligible I looked at it actually because I was curious about your argument.
You should
Yeah, I saw that but the one to 1.2 million people you're basically arguing about who has who has legal status people who are seeking refuge year
no This is how Christians lie, you know truthfully of course You know he got caught in this thing they're here legally and a few immigrants in this country legally can get health care through the ACA
And it's a very, very, very small percentage.
And he said, well, that's the whole thing right there.
You know, he didn't have to say that.
I mean, he could have gone along with her.
Yeah, it's a small percentage, but we don't want them to get it.
He could have said anything, but he didn't.
And and and truly what of course the Democrats are demanding is that the COVID tax credits that were put in place the additional tax credits made healthcare premiums very affordable for every American on the Marketplace on the ACA and those are going away and and insurance companies are abandoning Obamacare their
Going away because they can't afford it because they know they're not going to get these subsidies to pay for these premiums.
So they're not going to make the kind of money that they have been making.
And by the way, that's another discussion which shouldn't be happening.
They shouldn't be doing this.
It shouldn't be driven by profits.
But anyway, these guys are abandoning the market.
The premiums are going up.
They're already warning states that the premiums are going to increase dramatically 70% for some, 35% for most.
This is going to affect everybody and we're all just, our jaws are gonna drop.
The Republicans, the Megas are gonna be on the wrong side of the aisle and this one, this is gonna, this could really do it for them in the midterm elections.
And that's what I'm thinking.
are gonna
because people are gonna find out and they're really gonna be angry.
This is something that the Republicans are pushing hard on.
They're not going to allow these tax credits to continue.
Now, haven't we been saying it on this program for the, well, I don't know, maybe for
the last five
As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point, a dumbing down, until humanity was incapable of solving even its most basic problems.
What an
idiot.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.
the
on around
here?
s**t. Idiocracy.
For the smartest guy in the world, you're pretty dumb sometimes.

I was listening of course, and I'm glad you mentioned the Alzheimer's walk But I want to encourage folks.
We are almost halfway to our goal,
I just made it a thousand dollars.
That's all so
If everybody who is listening is going to think about giving to the Alzheimer's Association or any non-profit this year before the end of the year to get your tax deduction, I recommend the Alzheimer's Association.
It affects virtually everyone.
I suspect anyone hearing this is saying, yeah, my grandmother, yeah, my parents, my sister, whatever.

That's an easy link to remember demo curmudgeon.
Can I spell it?
I can't spell it.
Really?
D-E-M-O.
curmudgeon.com.com.
Some people say crumbudgeon and that's what throws them off.
So anyway, check it out because you can look up Tom Tiffany there.
He's a Republican candidate for governor, also a representative in Congress doing nothing at all.
And he wants to do that here.
So plug it into the search engine at my blog.
It's up.
in the upper left and put in Tom Tiffany and you will come up with a history of Tom Tiffany's problems and stupid things that he did in this state.
Every one of those links are there.
So
check it
One of these
That's it.
Now let's go on to, uh, let's go on to something that, uh, that Trump said yesterday, which, uh, scared the daylights on almost everybody, I think, uh, in front of the admirals and generals sitting in the audience who weren't reacting because they didn't know what the hell to think.
All right.
So now I have two cuts here, uh, Trump and Hickseth together.
But we're
At least when they're wearing a uniform, you can take them out.
These people don't have uniforms.
But we are under invasion from within.
The Democrats run most of the cities that are in bad shape.
We have many cities in great shape, too, by the way.
I want you to know that.
But it seems that the ones that are run by the radical left Democrats, what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago,
New York, Los Angeles.
They haven't
And we're going to straighten them out one by one.
We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, national guard, military.
Because we're going into Chicago where that's a big city.
It's the enemy from within.
And we have to handle it before it gets out of control.
It won't get out of control.
Our history is filled with military heroes who took on all enemies, foreign and domestic.
You know that phrase?
Very well, that's what the oath says, foreign and domestic.
You are brilliant.
We also have domestic.
So there it is.
An amazing jaw-dropping comment.
Marbles are just rolling around in his brain.
It's just, wow.
So the military is going to use our cities as training grounds.
Yeah.
Oh.
There's an idea.
Yeah.
Sure.
That's not good.
I really want to know.
Red flags are popping up all over the place.
I want to know what you are thinking.
Give us a call, Texas.
Let us know.
I think this is probably one of the most profound comments that the president has made ever, or any president has ever made, saying that the military will use our cities as training grounds for their activities.
what they can do, what they can't do.
But they're, you know, citizens out there aren't wearing the uniform,
I mean,
Speaking of the shutdown, Scott asks, how are the Democrats going to delay the shutdown?
The simple thing is the Republicans need the Democratic votes in order to approve anything at this point and the Democrats are not going along with voting.
to continue a continuing resolution or raise the debt limit or anything like that.
They don't want to pay for anything until they're working for you.
They want you to get your tax credits for healthcare.
They want that.
That is the main thing they want.
So, again, the Republicans needed the Democratic vote, and that's how the Democrats can keep this thing shut down.
But really, if the Republicans had it together, they could move on.
Even though the government shut down officially at midnight.
Right.
Still get your mail.
Essential services.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There are a few things going on out there.
Yep.
All right.
Let's go to the phones.
Mark is on the line.
Good morning, Mark.
What do you have for us today?
Yeah, but are the essential services people are providing for the essential services going to be paid?
Right.
And Trump wants to call out the army against American citizens.
So they're going to be willing and able and happy to be going out.
and taking military action against fellow citizens and not being paid for it at the same time.
It boggles the mind that he is saying this stuff about calling out the military against Americans.
I mean, sorry to sound like a broken record here, but that's right out of the Declaration of Independence and what King George was doing against people who were English citizens at the time when George III was defying troops against them.
Because they were they were not happy about the way the government was being Yeah, yeah And you know Trump's tariffs are merely taxation without representation and That just because you call it a tariff it doesn't mean it's not a a tax.
Intenses hack.
It's about a group of militants who are out there freeing immigrants from the detention camps.
Oh, really?
And this is their...
Lot in life.
This is what they're doing constantly and they're doing and it seems like it's going on now This movie is so current so it feels so up to date and it was Amazing the thing that scared me about this was how the military Can track us down if they wanted to yeah, we don't stand a chance against the military in this country Whether it's the police force whether it's the National Guard whether it's the actual military
We don't stand a chance.
All of us have this incredible trail that they can follow.

There's always someone to blame.
Never anywhere to hide.
Thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers.
Boy, I don't know if I'm going to be any source of a comfort or solace.
What's being talked about in front of the generals and the admirals was kind of let's rally the troops because here's what you're going to do.
There's a great article in a publication called Truth Out from September 29.
And with this title that sort of lays it out, National Security Directive Declars War.
on those who don't support the Trump agenda.
So what it is, I didn't realize that there's executive orders which sort of direct the day-to-day governing of our government.
But what this is is a national security presidential memorandum, which directs things in a very, very broad way.
So it's giving policy decrees for defense, foreign policy, intelligence, law enforcement, both at national and then down to the local level.
And he's got a list here, this NSPM7, which just rolls off the tongue.
And we talked about this
through the
Anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, support for the overthrow of the United States government, which is happening, by the way, in front of us, extremism on migration, extremism on race, extremism on gender, hostility toward those who hold traditional American views on family.
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.
Wow.
Yeah, and I'm sorry I missed the discussion yesterday.
I'll go back and listen, but I think you could really benefit the audience by bringing this up every single
Because these two
You know, they're going to use the military in our cities as practice.
Right.
And they're looking for all of these very simple
Leafs, you know, I mean it's what we believe it's our it's our freedom It's the first amendment and they're going after everything in the first amendment everything
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so it is, it's right to say that I think, I think it's right to say that they are paired.
They're being told what to do.
And this is what the president wants
do.
It's really, we are at the minority report level where it's pre-crime.
That's our thoughts can, can get us in trouble with the administration.
So thanks you guys.
This is really
it in
I'm sure you all understand the legalistic drawback to pre-crime methodology.
Here we go again.
Well, let's not kid ourselves.
We are arresting individuals who have broken no law.
But they will.
You ever get any false positives?
Someone intends to kill his boss or his wife, but they never go through with it.
How do the precogs tell the difference?
Precogs are to see what you intend to do.
Only what you will do.
You didn't hear that okay, all right
I mean it is so I like movies with happy ending, but it feels like it was made yesterday
this movie.
It was just an incredible performances and truly inspiring things that they did, some of the things they shouldn't have done, which brought many of these individuals down in the movie.
It is not super violent or anything, but it is just, it's like Civil War.
Now, remember when we saw Civil
we crushed by the violence
precision and ferocity of the War Department.
In other words, to our enemies, FAFO.
A few months ago, I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy.
It was a landmark day.
Well, today is another liberation day.
The liberation of America's warriors, in name, in deed, and in authorities.
You kill people and break things for a living.
You are not politically correct and don't necessarily belong always in polite society.
I'll have a one-two punch from this administration.
crusades?
Yeah, that's
Yeah.
And if you had any curiosity about what the military does, that's what they do.
They kill.
They're trained to kill and if they're going into our cities as testing grounds military testing grounds and practice well That's what we're looking at.
Okay, and and here we are with our wonderful message of the morning We
Yes.
All right, we've got news weather Updates straight ahead and when we come back we'll reveal the keyword
In our go for the green and gold text to win contest, it's all coming up and Mike McCabe will join us in our 7 o'clock hour too.
