Schumer Shutdown-What to Expect plus Dem Rhetoric Keeps getting Worse, Inciting Violence & Endangering Law Enforcement

•

Michigan Church Attack •

•

The discussion opens with news of a violent attack at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan, where a man drove a truck into the building, opened fire, killed four people, injured ten, and set the church on fire. • •

The speakers frame the attack as part of a wider trend of violence against religious institutions, emphasizing hostility toward people of faith. • •

They highlight the quick response of law enforcement, using it to argue against what they see as Democratic “demonization” of police and ICE agents. • • •

The “Schumer Shutdown” •

•

Cruz and Ferguson repeatedly call it a “Schumer Shutdown,” arguing Democrats are deliberately causing it to appease their progressive base and avoid criticism from figures like AOC. • •

They claim Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution (CR) to keep government open, but Democrats opposed it for political reasons. • •

They warn of shutdown consequences, such as furloughed workers, closed national parks, and delayed paychecks, while also suggesting it could be an opportunity for Trump’s administration to terminate “deep state” bureaucrats in agencies like the EPA, IRS, and Labor Department. • •

The commentary portrays Democrats as inconsistent, citing their past statements opposing shutdowns. • •

Escalating Democratic Rhetoric and Its Effects •

•

The episode then devotes significant time to Democratic leaders’ rhetoric about Republicans, ICE, and law enforcement. • •

It cites examples: Gavin Newsom calling Stephen Miller a fascist, Hakeem Jeffries describing Trump’s inauguration as a “supervillain convention,” and others comparing ICE to the Gestapo or slave patrols. • •

The speakers argue this rhetoric incites violence against conservatives and law enforcement, linking it to incidents like the assassination of Charlie Kirk and attacks on ICE facilities. • •

They present this as part of a broader Democratic strategy to delegitimize institutions like ICE, police, and the Supreme Court. • • Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
