Government Shutdown Continues As Senate Vote Fails — “Dems are looking really, really unreasonable”

Ahhh, it’s a beautiful thing!

The Government REMAINS shut down as another round of voting today in the Senate failed yet again:

BREAKING: Senate proposal to end government shutdown fails

Can we just keep this going for the next 3 years?

That works for me, does that work for you?

Has your life changed in any meaningful way with Government “shut down”?

The risk these losers in Congress now face is that the longer life goes on without Government, the more people will soon start to ask why we need them in the first place…

SPOILER ALERT: we don’t!

I thought this clip from Laura Ingraham was spot on…it’s the Democrats who are starting to look “really, really unreasonable” — because they are!

President Trump is perfectly fine letting this go on for weeks, months or years.  I think it’s actually better for him the longer it goes.

So Chuck Schumer has painted himself deep into a corner: he either caves and everyone knows he lost, or he loses at the long game.

Either is fine with me!

Watch this:

TRANSCRIPT:

Martha: Mike Tobin in Chicago, thank you.

With that, we bring in Laura Ingraham, host of The Ingraham Angle.

We just watched that there was never a command to stand down for the Chicago Police Department. You see the evidence that is contrary to that, but this video is incredible.

What is your take on what you are seeing in Chicago, Laura?

Laura: I watched his entire presentation, and it was long.

And it reminded me of something else — remember, it depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is, from Bill Clinton?

Listen closely to what he said. He said, “I would never tell anyone to quote, stand down.”

But the transcript doesn’t say “stand down.” It says, “We won’t send anyone over there.” So, you know, I don’t know if that’s the game he’s playing, but the transcript does not lie — nor does the dispatch audio itself.

They made a decision not to assist federal authorities.

They may claim that they were still processing the other scene where they had the other unrest, but they did not send manpower when it was requested.

Now, there were forty-one minutes before people ended up responding to help those federal officials. But we have people’s lives on the line.

This is a very dangerous situation, and they made a decision not to deploy resources to assist federal authorities — and they got caught.

Now they’re trying to say, “We work together. We don’t collaborate, but we support one another.”

That was also an odd phrasing on his part, so I did not find it compelling in the slightest.

Although in some cases he did say you can’t box in law enforcement officers, whether they’re federal or state — that’s common sense.

There was no great revelation on his part.

Martha: If you are ramming a federal agent’s car, you should expect that there will be ramifications for that.

I think a lot of this comes from the job in Chicago and the way they will receive this.

Here is Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, talking about this at 10:00 a.m. in Chicago. Watch this.

Brandon Johnson (clip): A couple of years ago, I said very candidly that the right wing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War.

I want that to sit in, because the President of the United States of America has declared war on the people of Chicago and people across America.

Martha: That is pretty strong stuff.

Laura: What does he expect will come after that?

He’s not a stupid person.

And you use words like “Hitler” or “Stalin” or “Nazi,” or “declaring war on your own people,” which is ludicrous.

He loves New York, loves Chicago, and thinks he can return them to their former stellar selves — and that’s what he’s trying to help do.

You might disagree around the edges on the decisions being made; I think he’s doing what needs to be done.

But that’s different from saying he is declaring war and this is a federal invasion of the city — which they also said today, in Portland and Chicago.

So this police superintendent is hearing it from Pritzker, the governor, and from Brandon Johnson.

And no one is going to convince the average American watching this that that does not have an effect on the superintendent.

I don’t believe that for a second.

Martha: What is the ultimate impact of all this?

President Trump wants to make the cities of America safer. I think you are right when you say he loves America’s great cities and wants them to be restored to their greatness.

Politically, socially — what is the impact of the presence of the National Guard in the cities?

Laura: I think we are going to see decreases in crime.

You saw it in D.C., obviously — but that’s a little different because it’s a federal district, as you know.

They have more leeway in D.C. and a longer deployment. But in the areas of the cities where federal facilities have been under seizure for weeks and sometimes months, that will end.

And those individuals will be prosecuted in federal court, not state court.

You tend to have more activist judges in state court, but in the federal proceedings, these individuals — playing cute with their little masks and early Halloween getups — will find themselves in real legal trouble.

I think that will have a big and positive effect.

And I think the Trump administration’s messaging on this has to be: We love these cities. We are going to restore these cities.

Unfortunately, we don’t have willing partners on the other side of the aisle — which is sad.

Because if they did assist a little bit, or said, “Let’s do this together,” I think Trump is willing to sit down with anybody and say, “Give me your ideas. How could we improve this, or what would you do?”

I honestly think he would bring Pritzker in and these guys and say, “What are your ideas?” — and they could work together.

I think the Democrats will look really unreasonable here.

Martha: We see what’s happening in Memphis, where their response is, “We have a lot of guns off the street and criminals off the street.”

That will make it safer for people to walk around the city of Memphis — which is their hope.

And a little coordination can go a long way in these situations.

But the language of Brandon Johnson, saying the President of the United States has declared war on the people of Chicago and the people across America, is very dangerous indeed.

Laura: Yes, Martha, it really is.

Because when you use that kind of rhetoric — “war,” “fascism,” “authoritarian takeover” — it creates fear and division, and it emboldens people who already distrust law enforcement or federal authority.

It’s reckless, and it does nothing to help the people who are genuinely suffering in these communities from rising crime and lawlessness.

What it does do is make everything more volatile.

At the end of the day, what President Trump is trying to do is restore order.

He’s saying, “We’re not going to let these cities burn, we’re not going to let federal property be destroyed, and we’re not going to let law-abiding citizens live in fear.”

That’s the fundamental role of government — to protect its people.

And when local officials won’t do it, the federal government has to step in.

You can debate tactics all day long, but to accuse the President of “declaring war on his own citizens” — that’s just absurd.

And I think the more Americans watch this, the clearer it becomes who’s actually trying to solve problems and who’s playing politics.

People want safe streets, they want functioning cities, and they want leaders who are serious about fixing what’s broken.

This shouldn’t be partisan, but unfortunately, that’s what it’s become.

Martha: Yeah, and I think Americans watching this are saying exactly that — “We just want safety and stability back in our neighborhoods.”

Laura Ingraham, always great to see you.

Thank you so much for your perspective tonight.

Laura: Thanks, Martha. Always a pleasure.
