What government does is unnecessary. Did you notice the government shut down . If they dont notice it then just just shut it that is our show tonight. John just shut it that is a road idea that some people tell me but my hope is this current partial shutdown at shut down as the government ceases to operate that some pauses at teaching moment even politicians might realize we dont need all of this sid given that america is going broke we should cut it now. I am probably deluding myself given what i read in the media but not senator lee so you kick started said senator Lee Obamacare movement that led to the shutdown in you dont think that partial shutdown is a bad thing . I say that it is unfortunate we had to get to shut down in the first place. We should never be in a position amir told we have to fund all of government to fund any of government. It should not be an end all or anything we usually take a segment of federal spending and rigo and independently before the last four and a half years we are operating on a continuing resolutn that is an all or nothing funding proposition to keep the government running. It makes n sense to do things that way especially when we expand government even further to expand programs like obamacare that hurts the ability to maintain Health Insurance or get jobs. John i dont want to talk about the procedure but this might be a teaching moment . 3. 7 trillion . Do we need to spend all that . Is a legitimate question if you look at the facts of nearly one quarter of every dollar that moves from the american and its economy taken up prior federal government it is a big problem when people work months every year just to pay federal taxes that the new state or local, that is a problem to. When government is a part of peoples lives we have good reason to worry about that. Ino reexamine the government we want. John you guys are bein trashed it is the strategy you cannot get rid of the Affordable Care active has been passed the president says it is a lot and the Supreme Court ruled it is settled and here tuesday but congress has the power of the purse and James Madison said that is the most important power that we give to congress. If they pass a law that they had not read and nancy pelosi said we have to pass it to read it is seems reasonable congress can leader say weve read it now we will not fund it. Exactly. Remember there are lots of programs and authorize that dont end up getting funded. It is not uncommon for congress to pass a law of the not too find it later. Also remember when the president says tis is the loss we have to follow it but the president is refusing to follow the law and has repeatedly rewritten the law without statutory or Constitutional Authority to do that. The Supreme Court had to rewrite the law of war were twice to make a constitutional. John he may wind in the end because most media pulled the government and they hyped it. How does that impact you . Of National Parks and museums including those to. The last time is because our hurricane this time because of republican ideology. So many in the media edge to oppose the effort to shrink or control the growth of government but fortunately there are a few exceptions in your helping us have this conversation but the American People overall understand one thing very clearly that obamacare puts them into a state of uncertainty so how many more americans have to lose their jobs or lose access to insurance as the 20,000 home depot employees before congress will step in to protect them . One valid criticism from somebody who is totally wrong. They will cut the government but this is the government. Most of it goes to defense, medicated and social security. These big tough guys have not put those items on the table. John he has a point. All of the Discretionary Spending. It is important to emphasize with mandatory spending that is about to kick in. This is another increase of the one way ratchet that will kick in on january january 1st. That is what we try to prevent is expanding the entitlement state that many are saying it is unsustainable even before obamacare. The least we can do to protect the American People is to protect them from more expansion of government that we cannot afford. John thank you senator lee. Know i am told is shutting down government is terrible for the economy. Simply not paying the government workers takes off the gdp he says there that customers of the business in this country and it sounds enormous if you listen to him but economist at ben powell says the opposite is true. The shutdown could be good for america. First of get some perspective if mcdonalds laid off 40 percent of non Food Production workers and closed up the drive through it and stop putting the toy is is the happy meal we would not city shut down. The govement has not shut down when people get their paychecks the irs is still stealing wages i got frisked today by the gsa the nsa is still probably listening to our phone calls in another part of the world somebody is in the military cross hair is not shut down. It is a step in that direction and it is a good step especially if the public realize that maybe they could make it permanent. John the president said to do this for the Agriculture Department helping farmers make a modest profit. No, no, no. The government should not do this in the first place. John now they cannot make a profit without the Agricultural Department . They should they should not be farmers. But if they permanently got out of this line of business they would rely on themselves or the voluntary americans not the government john the last time it shut down both parties agree it was a terrible thing. Never ever shut the federal government down again. [cheers and applause] john they applauded. Of course, because some of the start to realize that these busybodies in washington d. C. Are not necessary for our daily lives. And then of course, that is bad for both republicans and democrats. John the stock maet did fine in this time there has not been a crash. But if it shrink city should be good for the economy and the stock market. John this sequester cut 5 from Discretionary Spending which is onethird of the budget. Politicians screamed it would be terrible. We are hurting the military community, and middleclass families, and that is what this socalled sequestered means. Thinks. Katy think one thing in your life that changed after the sequester . My guess is the vast majority is nout the other things it is not the extra debt that they were walking up. John the extra dash i thought that was a wonderful thing that i thought it may significantly postpone the bankruptcy but here is a video from the petersen foundation. When economists make for a bit projections over the next two decades we clearly had to a crisis. Surely the sequestered change the picture and again it seems only to have bought a little bit more time. John and a barely makes any difference. We need to make much bigger fundamental cuts. Also nancy pelosi said there is nothing left to cut there is plenty to eliminate the deficit is returning to a budget when bill Clinton Left Office it is hardly an era of small government. John none of them want to talk about entitlements. They are both politicians to benefit from the existing system. And neither one wants to makehe fundamental cuts necessary to get their fiscal house in order. The poll shows those that oppose the shutdown . If i could carry a tune i would sing the song i just say just shut down a chance hopefully the numbers will go the other direction if they realize they do not impact their lives than we really should shut it down. John it is hard to peep to get people to change the way of thinking looking at greece and only after riots and months of threats did they do things like reduce required, every business severance pay at one full year it used to be two years this is the austerity that europe screams about. But how valley actually stop collecting taxes or giving them liabilities that the see how popular the cats had. John not will not happen. But thank you ben powell from the independent institute. Coming up i hear this partial shutdown creates hardship but lets not forget the Political Class has been doing very well. A gourmet kitchen. What i wall of windows. Housing prices went down.

[ male announcer ] get away fast with unlimited double miles from the capital one venture card. Youre the worlds best teacher. This is so unexpected. Whats in your wallet . John what is an essential government worker . Any job is essential. Every job. 4 million workers than they are all the essential . Yes. You are very important to them. John i was stunned when several people told me every government job is essential even if it is not needed because it is essential for the worker so the partial shutdown is a tragedy because it takes jobs away from people like faith the government creates jobs out of thin air and they dont understand the government has no money when it pays people it takes money and jobs from other people the real job creators people like Tax ProfessionalFootball Player tyoka jackson. How you were creating jobs as a defensive end but it is now clear as you were a Business Owner employing 150 people. A big difference with he private sector . It appears to be. We have to produce every day to go to the bottom line. It appears to be that we have a bunch of people playing highstakes poker with other peoples money and that is scary to me. John you run to i top restaurants but in football you lost a couple jobs. You did not feel you were entitled and you learn from that. That is what makes sports great the life lesson i was cut twice i had to have a real conversation with myself i have to get better. These are the lessons that i transferred to the Business World every day Ongoing Skill Development you are Getting Better or getting worse you see it every day. John sometimes you have to fire it employees. I have never fired anyone they fire themselves the Job Description is and i hired you because you can do but if you decide your actions or lack thereof that you do not deserve to be here in the morning did you make the decision for me. Is sometimes they go to a job where they are more suited in to look at the private sector all the companies that announced job cuts hewlettpackard, a jpmorgan 70,000 and so on. This goes on all the time that if government cuts anybody, which he almost never do it is a crisis . You dont want to see people lose their livelihood but we have competitors. We have to win we have to sit we have to stay lean widows to the federal government competing so getting lean is not necessary if you get what eyes and saying. John government has used it for a visit if they have it they wasted. And that is not special to any party. I a bet on the earth 41 years and it seems like government intends to be that way that is unfortunate i oked at it that way. John we tried to sign up for obamacare to s see with the experience was like. Most of us could not even get through with the error message or the page did not load and the president responded to complaints with the business comparison. A couple weeks ago apple rolled out with a new operating system and within one day they found a glitch and fixed it. I dont remember anyone suggesting apple should stop selling the iphone or the ipad. John but they still work. Only in government can you offer something that is not available to people to say it is the same thing but in the private sector you have to do better. Absolutely or you dont survive it was not the greatest rollout i have ever seen that i expect them to get better. That is a huge difference we compete every day against other brands by duty to mention them but i compete every day and we have to stay relevant to our customers that government does not have to worry about john where did you learn this . Actually in football. It is highly competitive and it is a privilege to play in the nfl. Bill the privilege to be there you have to develop your skills every single y to get better because they are looking for someone better video. John thats business. Thank you teeeighteen the media and the love of government. Embarrassing reality of the government shut down. So i can reach ally bank 24 7, but there are no branches . 24 7.

Fall in love with progressives claims service. John did you notice the government shut down . I noticed it when i saw it on tv but not with any of my activities. John that is what everyone said except for a few tourist because the statue of liberty was closed. Why is it . People just look at it and was not closed for the last shut down it is more shutdown theater but it is in the crisis most of us will not miss the 1,000 furloughed employshat the nlrb know they cannot stop pulling for building a factory in South Carolina i dont miss the 1,000 bureaucrats at the eeoc that souders for not employing more bad. I am thrilled temporarily fewer government workers are able to cripple the economy. Maybe this will wake people up to the benefit of Less Government but it is tough because the media loves Big Government they tell us the shutdown threat in our fragile economy and there is nothing bad about trashing those extremist. Some people say the media hates republicans and it is true they have a slobbering love affair with barack obama that is from Bernie Goldberg last book but they have a bigger love affair with government. Yes. That w interesti lead by the way. But liberals in general like Big Government. They have more confidence than in you or i do. And that they have the same values and priorities. Theyo love Big Government but. John the media in general it is easy to cover central planning. It is happening everywhere. This is what is easy to cover in a shutdown you do that cliche mandatory stories tall the panda camera is offline. We knew they would do that and they did not disappoint but here is much bigger behind the scene is a story but mostly about television is not covered why is president obama being so obstinate or uncompromising . I personally think because he is the one who wants the shutdown and is a routine for chaos. P understands according to all the polls the of publicans will get the lions share of the plane and this is his only way to win the house in 2014 then he can fulfill his Campaign Promise to fundamentally transform the United States of america. John i dont hear any reporting on it or how congress exempted itself from obamacare. Thats my point. Youll hear about the smithsonian or the family that disappointed but this is a much more important story that goes to the reason we have to shut down. By the way that is only part number one he has already indicated he will be just as uncompromising about a much more serious national deb showdown that is coming. File was a hard nose reporter i would find serious people who are not partisan to save you think the president is doing this for political gain to throw the economy under the bus to when the house next year . That is a legitimate question. John i dont think we will have chaos. Who knows. But what is different this time is we have alternative media last time the drug report, reason, blaze, more talk radio facebook, a twitter, its terrible things still happen why we spend so much might be different this time. Even i have not seen the hard News Coverage with a blatant bias it was despicable. John that was disgusting. Disgraceful. Growing up in new york my father would bring home the new york tv n
