If you want to be a part of the program, now six hours and what is it?
54 minutes, 55 minutes until the government shutdown is official, the Schumer shutdown, as we're calling it on this program.
Schumer and Democrats, and we've been playing it all day, I won't play it again now, you know, for years have condemned the idea of shutting down the government and how bad and horrible it is.
And because Schumer, who is leader in name only, just like Hakeem Jeffries is leader in name only, Schumer got excoriated when he went along with the CR the last time.
He is his entire career.
He's never supported a government shutdown, but he wants to stay in power rather than stand on principle and stand up against the radicals in his party.
So he's not going to shut down.
He's going to shut down the government.
It's going to happen.
It may be longer than we usually think.
I've been pretty consistent about government shutdowns over the years.
They really don't bother me.
I know people get offended when I say that.
I'm not being insensitive to good workers.
I feel for you if you're not going to get a check.
But what always happens is they eventually reopen the government fully.
Essential services will continue, which is imperative.
Grandma and grandpa will get their social security checks.
They'll have access to their health care.
Our military will be up and running.
Homeland Security will be operational, as will the Border Patrol people.
But there are going to be others that are called, quote, or viewed as non-essential, and they will be sent home.
What always happens at the end of the process is they get a free vacation and back pay.
That part is frustrating.
The fact that people have to live without a paycheck in the interim, I know it's inconvenient.
I do.
I am very sympathetic towards it.
However, you've got to understand where this is coming from.
Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion in reckless spending, and that means they want to rob from our children and grandchildren even more to push their radical agenda.
They are not in power.
When they've been in power and Republicans have made any demands or requested any negotiation, they have been shut down and shut out.
I'll quote Barack Obama.
Elections have consequences.
And I think the American people have had it.
They see through the Schumer shutdown for what it is.
He is scared to death.
He'll be primaried by AOC.
He's scared to death to take on the radicals that now run his party.
And, you know, look at, for example, in his state of New York, his city of New York City, you know, and then you got Zoron, Kami, Marx's Momdani.
We will fight the Trump administration's attempt to exert leverage over New York City.
Okay.
And then he's going to raise taxes on New Yorkers, and they're going to leave in droves.
And if you think that Wall Street South, where I live in my free state of Florida, is going to grow, you're right.
They're going to do great.
People in New York City are going to see their property values go down.
They're going to see the crime rate go through the roof.
And they're going to have the worst management in the history of that city.
Here's Zoron, Kami, Marx's Momdami, pledging to fight Trump.
So the number this year from the federal government was $7.4 billion to New York City.
Are you okay if New York City loses that?
No, we will fight for every single dollar that the city currently receives from the federal government.
And I look for examples across this country that showcase the best way to respond to Donald Trump's strengths is not collaboration, is his threats, rather.
It's responding with strength.
And what we see in California is an attorney general of the state has estimated that for every dollar they spent on lawsuits against the federal government's threats to withhold funding, they won more than $30,000 in what would otherwise have been lost.
And so we will take that same approach.
Well, good luck with that.
Become Gavin Newsom 2.0.
Anyway, joining us now is Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, who is from New York.
What has happened?
And what's going to happen?
What's happened to Chuck Schumer?
What's happening to Hakeem Jeffries?
They seem impotent and totally paralyzed in fear of the radicals in their party.
I think you're exactly right.
And they're both former members of the New York State Assembly where I served.
And Hakeem Jeffries used to sit next to me in the state assembly.
He's no different than the Democratic Socialists of America that are now embracing Zoran Mondami, who I think is really Marxist, anti-Semite, anti-police.
I mean, the worst form.
But they dominate and control Albany.
And Schumer is terrified.
And AOC is out there with Mondami.
And I think it's brilliant, Sean, that you are actually saying what I think is going on here.
I think this shutdown talk from Schumer is a distraction from the fact that he's going to end up with Zoran as the mayor if we don't take rash action.
And he's trying to distract from this using this shutdown because it's all Democratic spending levels, as you accurately pointed out.
And now this is a huge problem for the Democrats.
It's colossal.
It is the Democrats allowing somebody of this ilk to run the largest city in our nation, which has caused all kinds, as you know, when you left, I'm still in New York fighting the fight.
The reason that things are so bad in New York is because of the Democrat policies and the weakness and the fecklessness of Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to stand up to this far left.
And this is what you get.
Well, it's not just, it's not New York State.
I mean, Long Island, we saw the reception at the Ryder Cup that Kathy Hokle, your governor, got.
We saw the reception that Donald Trump received.
Hokle was booed.
Trump was, you know, greeted with loud chants of Trump, Trump, Trump, and USA, USA, USA.
It's not Westchester.
It's not upstate New York.
You've got this one little strip of land called New York City that is so densely populated with radical leftists that I am pretty convinced that Mamdani is going to win.
If I had my choice, I'd pick Curtis Liwa.
I think Curtis Sleewa would be most like Rudy Giuliani.
He'd be Rudy 2.0.
Polling-wise, if you believe the polls, he can't, at this point, unless things change dramatically, he's not going to have the votes in that Democratic city to win.
And it seems like Cuomo is just not liked by anybody.
Yeah, I agree.
But I think this is the reason, Sean, that Albany is part of it.
You know, when the Democrats are all crying about redistricting, the harsh redistricting that the Democrats have always controlled, at least controlled for a long time, the last cycle, is, remember, when they create districts for the Senate and the Assembly, the New Yorkers, they're very small in number.
They violate the Constitution so they can pack in as many Assembly and Senate members into the New York City and the Democrat areas.
And then where I am in upstate New York, you have these gigantic districts with huge numbers of constituents.
And that's how they control the legislature in Albany, even though the vast majority in my district, everyone, I mean, Trump won big here.
He won big in upstate New York when even when the governors are running, whether it's Cuomo or even Kathy Hochl, you know, something like out of the 62 counties in New York, you see 55 are won by Republican, the Republican wins.
It's those isolated areas, and they do everything they can to shoehorn as many of these Democrat leaders or Democrat voted, they're not leaders at all, but these Democrats into these positions, and that's how they retain power.
As you know, Sean, it's always process.
It's always cheating.
It's never by policy.
Policy, we'd win.
I mean, we wouldn't have a problem with that.
And I think a lot of New York City people feel that way.
I do think that it's going to be interesting, though.
I don't see how he loses.
I would love to see Curtis Sliwa take the lead here, and maybe Adams getting out will send votes to Sliwa.
But we need, this is going to be disastrous for not just the city, but the whole state.
Well, you know, the interesting thing is, I mean, New York could be rescued.
And for a long time, when even when Andrew Cuomo was the mayor of, I'm sorry, the governor of New York, before he ran for reelection the first time, I had been very vocal about saying, I need to get the hell out of here because I saw no hope.
And I had all these governors from all over the country very graciously, you know, kind of surprise me, inviting me to move to their respective states.
I mean, from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas.
All these wonderful people were calling this show and saying, we'd warmly welcome you here.
And I eventually, you know, settled on Florida because I'd always had property down here.
I'm glad I did.
The best decision I made.
And it's for a whole host of reasons.
I feel bad for the people that I left behind, but many of them are making plans to escape or they've already escaped and they've followed me down here.
And the feeling that most people are telling me, and we'll see this in the next census, New York's going to lose a number of congressional seats.
California is going to lose congressional seats.
I would imagine New Jersey is going to lose some.
Illinois will probably lose some because there's been a mass migration out of these deep blue states that cling to the idiocy of sanctuary state and city policies, that cling to the idiocy of defund, dismantle, no bail laws, reimagine the police.
In other words, that cling to the commie Marxist Momdani mentality, the AOC mentality.
I tell you this, and I also think that if AOC challenges Chucky, he's done.
He's finished.
He'll get slaughtered.
I agree with you.
But this is, again, the problem.
I mean, we have the highest out migration.
You know, when you talk about we had 45 congressional seats in the 60s.
We're down to 26.
And a lot of it was because we included illegal immigrants wrongly on our census.
Otherwise, we probably would have lost another one to Florida.
And we're definitely going to lose more.
But, you know, the people, the people that govern these states, like Schumer and Hakeem, who grew out of the state assembly, he was a nothing in the assembly, you know, because of a lot of his really anti-Semitic stands in his family, his racist kind of stands that he takes, his anti-conservative.
You know, any black who's conservative is somehow, you know, not a legitimate or credible person.
And, you know, all that stuff is the old mantra of the old Democratic Party.
And they're even fighting that because now we have Mondami, who is basically Marxist.
I mean, this is not, and unfortunately, a lot of the immigration that went through Obama, we've brought people in, you know, whether they were refugees or now illegal immigrants, and they get a free reign here.
The northern border, which I represent a lot of, Sean, this in Canada, 90% of the people on the terror watch list are coming across the northern border because they have access to New York State and New York City, which has all these laws put in place by Andrew Cuomo, by the way, that allow, you know, we are the city that had the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history on our soil, yet we took away and didn't listen to what the 9-11 Commission actually asked us to do, which is to get our police to work with us to protect our communities.
You've got a guy that's going to work against all of that.
New York City is in peril, as is the state, because of the influence that Zoron is going to have with the state legislature.
When I served in the legislature, it was only 2016, there were no Democratic Socialists of America.
They're dominating the Democratic Party in the legislature now.
And this will only be a big win for them.
Right now, the Democrats like Schumer should be standing up to them.
And he will get wiped out by AOC, absolutely, because they've allowed this to happen.
And Schumer's weak.
They never have tough races, Sean.
They never have tough races.
They just kind of walk in because they've got the population.
But now, I mean, AOC is going to give a run for his money.
And I bet you anything he doesn't run.
If she gets in, he's out, guaranteed.
And I bet they're having private conversations, and he's trying to find out if she's going to run or not.
There's no way he would run for reelection because he knows he'd lose.
Quick break.
We'll come right back more with the New York Congresswoman, Claudia Tenney, on the other side.
Then we'll get to your calls.
800-941-Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, we continue now with New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney is with us.
The reason that Chuck Schumer, who's always been against government shutdowns his entire career, is now going to shut down the government is because he has to give in to the radicals that run his party.
And maybe he's become more radicalized himself.
Hakeem Jeffries is now going to follow Kathy Hochul and endorse Mom Donnie.
And I would imagine before Election Day, so will Chucky Schumer, in spite of not condemning the global anthrafata forever.
They can't say no.
And I'll tell you something, Sean, that I heard from a Democrat from a blue state several weeks ago said to me, there are a lot of anti-Semitic things coming up on the floor of the House.
And he said to me, if we put out a bill today that said globalize the intifada, I bet there'd be 15 Democrats in the House of Representatives that would vote for it.
That's what's happened.
And that's why, you know, this election of President Trump was a godsend.
Us being able to keep the majorities very slim, obviously, ably run by Mike Johnson.
And also in the Senate right now, not having that 60-vote threshold, you know, is putting Chuck in a position.
Because remember, the Democrats annihilated Chuck for supporting the CR, the continuing resolution, earlier.
Now he's afraid of going down that road again.
But he's making a fool's errand, I think, because right now he's voting against himself and he's voting against the American people.
And this is going to be, he's going to catch 22 when it comes to Democrats.
It's great for us, but I think he's going to see this is not going to have good results in the end.
I wonder how long we have a bet going on in our office how long this shutdown will really last because Chuck has got a cave.
They've got a cave.
These Democrats are not going to be able to risk having us take on even more seats in the next election where we actually could get a 60-vote majority in the Senate because I think it's starting to look that way.
You're seeing people rejecting the far left and the Democrat Party in other parts of the country.
And I'll leave New York.
Listen, Jack Chittorelli really has a shot to win in New Jersey.
He has a real shot.
Listen, I applaud you for fighting.
I'm torn because I don't want my friends that are still in New York to suffer anymore.
I feel bad for them.
On the other hand, I want my state of Florida to do even better.
So I really, I'm kind of torn here, Claudia, but I wish you the best.
Thank you.
And if you want a nice break from the winner that's coming your way, just let me know.
Come down to Florida.
We'd love to have you.
Oh, Linda, did you see Josh Hawley call out this guy today?
Oh, this was epic.
He's a defund, dismantled, no-bail law guy.
And then he denied it.
And then just Hawley just rips into him, just tore him up.
I want to play it.
It's a long stop, but it's a long piece of sound, but it is entertaining.
Listen.
This is your report, a policymaker's playbook to reduce gun violence without policing communities.
Community Justice Action Fund, Copyright 2023, when you were executive director.
Now you say you don't know anything about it.
Now you say that you haven't heard of it.
Just like the Democrats who all of a sudden say, oh, we're all for the police.
They've been advocating defunding them for years.
Okay, well, you look, you can look at documents or you can look at.
My question is, do you renounce this report now?
You say you no longer agree with this.
And my answer is that I led the efforts to invest $42 billion in law enforcement.
You've advocated defunding the police as executive director of an organization that you still lead and are affiliated with.
Never see me advocate for that directly.
What you see me advocate for a comprehensive approach to reducing violence.
The comprehensive approach is defunding.
Which is what this says.
This is so typical of what the Democrats do now.
After your policies have transparently failed and led to the deaths of millions of Americans, now you say you've never heard of defunding the police.
Your own report recommends it on page after page after page.
Let me ask about something else you say.
Here's what you say we ought to invest in.
Instead of funding the police, here's what we ought to invest in.
We need to invest in programs that acknowledge the need for safe space initiatives led by lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirit, trans and gender non-conforming people.
What's two-spirit?
Well, look, I don't know exactly.
You guys will pull in some interesting quotes.
This is from your report.
If you look at the report, the focus is on investing in violence intervention, outreach workers.
You say that you shouldn't invest in the police, but we ought to invest in two-spirit community programs that acknowledge two-spirit, and we are not going to discriminate against that.
We're not going to discriminate against any nonprofit that violence is.
What is two-spirit?
You say, don't fund the police, but do fund programs that create safe spaces for two-spirit people.
I just want to know.
I don't know what that is.
I have no idea what that is.
Well, honestly, I'm not completely aware of the language of the written.
I mean, that was just an epic beatdown.
I mean, that was Holly at his best.
Pretty amazing.
I don't know if you knew this.
There's a story out today, Linda.
I want to bring this to your attention.
You know that I'm big into artificial intelligence, and I just dabble in it.
Just like I've been teaching myself chess by playing chess.com.
And I am a complete loser.
I admit it.
Well, you and James play it together.
I watched that in real life.
That was interesting.
No, I will just take he has it on a, I don't have a on an iPad, I know.
Yeah, so he has it on that iPad-y thing, and I play it on his because it's better than playing on my phone, which is very small.
Now, I'm a big Grock guy, which is that's Elon Musk's company.
And OpenAI, the company that developed ChatGPT, announced new parental controls on Monday aimed at helping protect young people who interact with AI and AI programs.
Anyway, in August, this company had to pledge to implement changes to their flagship product after facing a wrongful death suit by parents of a 16-year-old who allege that the chat bot led to their sons taking his own life.
And apparently, the controls will allow parents to link their own chat GPT accounts to the accounts of teenagers and customize settings for safe, age-appropriate, age-appropriate experience.
Apparently, what it said, you could actually go on there.
I don't even really want to say it.
Let's put it this way: you can ask, you know, how can you harm yourself?
How to do it?
I don't like that.
They have to have some control over this.
Now, for those that say AI is the future, no, AI is the present.
You better understand it is the present.
You know, they have these new robo taxis.
They're experimenting with them.
For example, in New York City, San Francisco has them, a lot of other places.
They even have 18 wheelers that are driverless and that are proving to be safe.
I've got my new Tesla S-Plaid, and I hit auto-drive after you put in your destination.
You don't have to do a thing.
You don't touch the steering wheel.
You don't touch the gas pedal.
Nothing.
And it I mean, it's crazy, the technology that's out there.
And it's you know, you have to be careful, depending on what line of business that you're in, that you adapt to what are going to be coming changes in pretty much every industry.
I think that's why it's prophetic.
You know, I think there's going to be certain fields of endeavor, certain skills that there's no way that anything robotic or artificial intelligence is going to be able to replace.
You know, a friend of mine who's very into this actually has a phrase.
He says, you know, don't think.
I'm like, huh?
What do you mean, don't think?
I can't not think.
He goes, no, don't think.
Just ask Grock.
He knows I'm a big Grok guy.
Which one do you use, by the way?
I really like Grok.
I made up some funny Chuck Schumer for the Schumer shutdown memes today.
I had some fun with that.
That was a good time.
Have you ever put Grok on extreme mode?
You'll love it.
I have.
It was definitely.
It was extreme.
They have extreme mode, which is like, whoa, like, holy moly, you know, perverted.
It's like, you know, F-bombs.
It's everything.
It's like hardcore.
It's definitely a little bit intense, but I think, you know, if you're looking to laugh and you're with adults that understand that it's a joke, then it's fine.
But it definitely is not for children.
Definitely not for kids.
So they're going to have to, you know, do that.
By the way, I don't know if you noticed this too.
Hollywood talent agencies now are looking to sign an AI actress named Tilly Norwood.
Did you see that?
They think this person will be like the next.
They think this will be the next Scarlet Johansson.
It's founded by an actor-comedian and the AI Talent Studio have set their sights on creating digital movie stars.
I mean, it's so real, it is chilling.
Yeah, but see, that's where it gets weird, right?
Like, I'm sorry.
I like regular people.
I want to just know regular people.
If you want to make up funny pictures, funny memes, funny whatever, that's fine.
But when we start replacing people in like those sorts of jobs, that's just weird to me.
It's just a bridge too far.
There are people now dating artificial intelligence people.
Yeah, they're not dating.
They're just living in their room pretending to date.
They're freaks.
But the thing is, it's so smart.
You can design it to talk to you any way you want.
It's like the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend.
It's hilarious.
Yeah, but it's just weird.
Physical contact.
I mean, it's kind of taking the whole like blow-up doll thing to like another level.
It's like, oh, this is my girlfriend.
And like, you carry it around.
You're like, it's not.
It's plastic.
And those people are very, very weird to me.
It's no different, man.
Now we got AI.
You know, it's not a real thing.
Those people, if you're doing that, here's something really off.
Like, we need the about so many things right now.
The common sense.
I mean, it's almost like we've bred an entire generation.
The boomer generation has lost their mind.
The younger generation is finally getting it back.
And the ones in the middle never had it.
It's just a hot mess out there.
It's very scary.
You mean you never date a doll?
No, it was never on my bucket list.
Isn't that funny?
Never on my bucket.
I honestly, I watched this, and I don't know if you've seen any videos like online of the, they have assembly lines where they make these companions and people think they're dating them.
And they talk to them.
See, this is the fact that they have sex with them.
It's sick.
Here's the problem.
That is so psycho-bizarre to me.
That is the nth degree of psycho.
We are at a special place in the world where there has to be some sort of regular, like I always say all the time, Katie and to Ethan always laughing.
I'm like, this person doesn't have one friend, not one friend in the world.
I'm like, what the hell is going on?
You don't have one person in your life to go, listen, I got to tell you something.
This thing was made on an assembly line in China.
You know, it's not real.
It came here in a box.
UPS left it at the door.
It's not a human being.
Like, let's go outside.
Let's touch grass.
You know, let's get back to like, you know, basics.
Nobody's doing that for these people.
They don't have one friend, one family member, one neighbor.
I don't know.
Listen, it was sort of like, unless you're like a kid in college and you go to a strip club, there's a part of me that can kind of sort of maybe understand that part.
But my attitude is, is if you're 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, and you're going to those places, you're creepy.
You're really bizarre.
I got news for you.
You're going to those places.
Go get a real girlfriend.
Listen, it's all perversion.
It's all creepy.
You shouldn't be in those places.
It's creepy.
None of that is normal.
I don't care what age you are or why you're going to go.
I am talking about like the stupid frat guys at college.
Yeah, that's gross.
If you're a frat guy, go date a college girl.
There's plenty of them.
All right.
I agree with you, but they're not at the point that to me, I would define them as weird and strange and psycho and creepy.
I find older guys that do this and get addicted to this crap or get addicted to porn.
I'm like, go get a real girlfriend from.
Why do you think that that's weird?
That's just that frat idiot all grown up.
Nothing else.
But, well, no, they didn't grow up, which is the problem.
A real frat idiot would grow up and grow out of it.
I disagree.
I think if you do that when you're young, you're going to do it when you're older.
That's my humble opinion.
I don't think you should do it at all.
I'm not.
There you go.
It's never been.
It's never been my thing.
And it's never been a thing for my friends either.
You know, most of my friends, they either have girlfriends or had girlfriends or they have wives and that's it.
Good.
That's the way it should be.
My friends are my friends are normal.
My friends are, you know, hardcore.
You know, they're usually, you know, they God, faith, family, country, you know, and and they're just they live by a code.
They live honorably.
They're good people.
You know who I saw today?
One of your friends.
Guess who I saw today?
I sent you a picture of him this morning.
I don't know.
I didn't see it.
Curtis Lewa.
Oh, on the subway.
I was on the subway platform.
I look across the platform.
Everybody's freaking out and taking pictures.
I'm like, what the hell's going on?
And sure enough, I see the red cap.
I'm like, oh, it's Curtis.
And there was no way for me to yell because it was, you know, the A train and the E train and it's mad loud.
but I saw him and I was like, see, Kami Donny would never do that.
Forget about it.
He doesn't have to do that.
I'll tell you one other thing.
And he didn't have an entourage.
He didn't have a million security people around him.
He did not.
He just goes into the subway alone.
I know, because I've been there with him many times.
But you know what was cool?
All of the people around him got up and took pictures and were hugging him and saying hello.
And they were every age, every race, women, men.
He's the best retail politician I've seen.
100%.
He's great at it.
He's real.
I think he'd be Rudy 2.0.
I think he'd be the biggest thing for New York City.
Want him to win.
But objectively looking at the polls as of now, and it's still, yeah, it's not early anymore.
It's just game time.
I would love to see, I want to see a post-Adams exit poll to see where the numbers are now.
A credible one, a real one.
He's going to win.
Anyway, I'm behind Curtis.
I am too.
I want him to win.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
We have a great show tonight, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
Are we headed for a government shutdown?
Senator Markway Mullen, Senator Katie Britt, the one and only Stephen Miller, Tommy Laron, and an exclusive interview with Carter Page.
He speaks out for the first time over the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, who signed three of the four Pfizer warrants using Hillary's dirty dossier as the basis for those warrants.
