MCS #2230 – Taxpayers Celebrate The Government Shutdown

• This last week was the longest break we have taken since we started this little Crusade Channel.
• Thank you all for being patient with us while we took off to celebrate our daughters wedding in Utah.

QUESTION: When was the last government shutdown? 

ANSWER: 2018-19 for 35 days that was in Trump 1.0

• How many ‘essential’ government employees do we currently have?
• What exactly happens during a government shutdown?
• Who is effected the most? 
• In the event of a government shutdown, active-duty military members, including the National Guard and reservists on active duty, are required to report for duty but are not paid. Their paychecks are delayed until Congress passes new legislation and ends the shutdown. The Coast Guard is also affected, as it is funded through the Department of Homeland Security, so its members would also not be paid. 

• What is going on over there?
• Did you hear what Trump said in the Oval Office the other day?
• Trump said he would NOT let Benjamin annex Gaza.
• Netanyahu went to the UN and 2/3 of the delegates walked out. 
• So all of Earth according to Netanyahu are anti-semites now.

Charlotte, NC – committee hearing held on Monday.

HEADLINE: Grieving father blasts pols for allowing daughter Logan Federico’s career criminal killer to remain on the streets by Richard Pollina 

• Stephen Federico delivered a raw, gut-wrenching address during a congressional hearing in Charlotte aimed at tackling growing concerns over violent crime and repeat offenders — speaking just weeks after the high-profile murder of Ukrainian national Iryna Zarutska.
• His daughter, Logan Federico, was fatally shot on May 3 while visiting friends at USC in Columbia, South Carolina, after 30-year-old “career criminal” Alexander Dickey broke into the Cypress Street home.
• The father said that she apparently laid there for 7 hours before she was discovered.
• Alexander Dickey was committing 2.65 crimes a year since he was 15 years old. But nobody could figure out that he couldn’t be rehabilitated. Well, you’d have to put him in prison to see if he could be rehabilitated. Isn’t that the idea of prison?
• How have we allowed this to be the norm in our country?
• Something has to be done about these violent recidivist. 
• Perhaps it may be prudent for Attorney Generals to go back through their logs of violent offender cases. 

• The troops would “support state and federal law enforcement agencies in addressing ongoing public safety concerns regarding high crime rates” throughout Louisiana, Landry wrote. Landry requested the troops under Title 32, which means that he retains command and control; however, the troops’ duties are federally funded and regulated.
• In his request, Landry said there have been “elevated violent crime rates” in Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans, as well as shortages in local law enforcement. He said the state’s vulnerability to natural disasters made the issue more challenging, as public safety resources are strained, and that extra support would be especially helpful for significant events, including Mardi Gras and college football bowl games.
• You can’t go around yelling secede and then ask for Federal troops to keep the crime rates down.
• Why should taxpayers pay to enforce laws in other states?
• So why should a Texas taxpayer pay for Louisiana security and safety? 

• I watched it yesterday and I’m still not sure what I watched.
• I watched from start to finish, he did not appear in court physically.
• The Judge issued an order stating there would be no media contact w/ anyone who was a witness or anyone who would be called as a witness.
• I’m still trying to figure the whole thing out.
• Here is what I found disturbing about it…

Father Dave Nix on X: I’m against abortion and for the death-penalty for criminals.  I’m also against open-borders.  But by the theology in this video, I’m considered “not pro-life.”  (Neither is St. Thomas Aquinas or any of the Church Fathers.)

• How does Pope Leo not know who Dick Durbin is?
• He is one of the loudest voices for pro-choice legislature? 
• How does the Pope not know this?
• He seemed to know how long he has been in office.

• During COVID we were taken off of YouTube.
• They cut us off with 2 strikes because we didn’t tow the company line on face masks and social distancing.
  We also got kicked off of Facebook for the same thing.
• We had over 20,000 followers there. I just killed the page.
• Twitter, before you could stream live I was put in Twitter jail over face masks too.
• Nothing has still been written about social distancing.
• They lied about who could catch COIVD.
• Then the PCR test we discussed that too and boom, nuked. 

• We are in the beginning of the counter revolution.
• Repealing or undoing the damage done by a prior revolution. 
• There are trillions of dollars at stake and they are violently reacting to defend what they believe is rightfully theirs.

• Things that DOGE cut are still in this CR bill.

HEADLINE: Father of murdered aspiring teacher berates lawmakers for soft-on-crime policies that kept releasing her killer by Melissa Koenig 

• How could that man still be on the streets to commit this murder?
• Alexander was a career criminal.
• Federico grew emotional as he recounted how his young daughter had been visiting friends in Columbia, South Carolina on May 3 when she crossed paths with Alexander Dickey, 30, a repeat offender with a rap sheet of 39 arrests, including 25 felonies.
• His crime spree began the night before. 
• How many more Dickeys are roaming the streets?

• It is DEMOCRACY that has led us here.

• What kind of a Christian civilization has monsters like Alexander roaming its streets?
• Alexander Dickey was 30 and Decarlos Brown was 34. Both in the same generation so what does that say?
• You have laws that protect men and women in white lab coats. 
• How much longer can you pretend ‘protecting the right’ to abortion doesn’t affect the culture?

AUDIO/VIDEO: Pete Hegseth Secretary of War – Women In Combat Roles – Today, at my direction, each service will revert back to Male Only Service REQUIREMENTS for combat roles…because these decisions are about life and death!

• Why is flying so terrible?
• We flew on a Boeing 737 series to Salt Lake City UT. 
• We planned for this for months.
• The flight itself wasn’t terrible but the getting into the plane is just awful.

• The average American really doesn’t care about a government shutdown. 
• How is it possible that so many people became so dependent on the Federal Government to basically live?
• Purchasing food will be interrupted – that means we have far too many people on government food assistance. 
• What kind of welfare state are we actually funding and running?
• Government shutdown effects WAY more Democrat voters than Republican voters. 
• Hakeem Jeffries never had the support of the Democrats, he was pushed in by Nancy Pelosi. 

AUDIO/VIDEO: Rep Hakeem Jeffries – Illegals and Benefits – Under the current law undocumented immigrants are already ineligible for benefits. Not a single undocumented immigrant in this country gets a dime in Federal taxpayer dollars for any part of comprehensive Medicaid coverage. Nearly 14 million people will be thrown off their health insurance. The largest cut to SNAP, we are talking about American children. When it comes to nutritional assistance, we are talking about veterans that sacrificed for our country, we are going to cut them off. Those are the facts. We are fighting to stop this GOP tax scam.

• So who is really running the Democrat party?
• It isn’t Nancy Pelosi. 
• Is it AOC at this point?
• Imagine living in such an expensive place and you need an exit strategy. 
• I get the same information from people living in LA.
• I’d say this is an average American w/ and average income, that is probably a regular situation for those living in LA. After 1 year they are leaving, they just can’t stay there. They say it is a fight for survival daily with the crime.
• How long before these major cities become inhabitable? 
• I think the rhetoric of ‘government shutdowns hurt the American people’ is terrible.
• I think Elon Musk was right, we didn’t vote for half measures.
• We aren’t getting what we voted for when it comes cuts and justice.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Stephen Miller on Sean Hannity – Democrats The Party of Violence – The Democrat party has become the party that openly calls for violence. A bullet came w/in a centimeter of taking POTUS life. We watched in horror as Charlie Kirk was murdered on a college campus. What do all these assassins have in common? They have been radicalized by Democrat rhetoric.  They are using this language to mark people.

• Stephen Miller is a Jew!
• Democrats have created time bombs over the last few years. What did you think would happen when you have called the right Fascist for years?
• When Gavin Newsom’s people tweet out in all caps that is incitement. Trump has ALWAYS done it, it does’t incite violence as that has always been his style.
• Newsom knows what he is doing.
• There is this weird lunatic faction in the Democrat party.
• We haven’t been strong enough with this. 
• These people should be silent and apologetic.

• I think we were too willing to celebrate the goodness of Turning Point

AUDIO/VIDEO: President Trump in Oval Office – Democrat Shutdown – When you shut it down, we’d be laying off a lot of people. And they’re gonna be Democrats. A lot of good can come from shutdowns. We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn’t want. 

• Democrats just aren’t afraid of us enough.
• They need to be afraid of our effectiveness. 
• We need to stop holding back, they aren’t getting the message, they have learned nothing. 
• To walk this back, I think that what Brendan Carr did was quite possibly the most brilliant media move in the last 30-40 years. 
• All he did was put the FCC in broadcasting conversation again.
• All he did was make the FCC relevant again. 
• How do you rebrand now if you are the Democrat party?
• For AOC to say come talk to me directly to members of Congress is insane.
• Imagine if Hakeem said that while Nancy was in power.
• Hakeem Jeffries has been a failure for years.
• They put in 2018 the first round of Communist to the Squad. 
• They can’t be trusted to represent House leadership.
• If you call a House election right now they will elect AOC.
• The Muslims, especially the Orthodox ones can’t be Democrats. Sharia Law is incompatible w/ what the Democrat party thinks is the American way.
• What happens to 2 party politics?
