so now that I've outlined to you some of the media coverage that's going on
around the government shutdown let's actually Explorer in detail
the broader yuri the broader hypothesis
that it is president Obama's shut down a number republicans have been saying
this is O'bama shut down he is not talking to us he is not negotiating in
our good friend Bill share
as a really great article which I have here in the week
and it's called 5 bogus republican arguments to justify
a government shutdown so at the top of the list and
and just read the article because it is very good Obama won't negotiate right as
we know
Sean Hannity literally getting caught five minutes after saying that Obama's
not talking to anybody
by a breaking news alert saying Obama's calling all sorts of people
not true don't believe it number two that republicans have already
compromised
ladies and gentlemen Obamacare
was passed democratically and upheld by the highest court in the land
it is the law period to say that
republicans are compromising and its democrats who won't
further That Bird the hold up their end of the compromised by allowing the
defund
the defunding repealing or otherwise delaying a vote Obama Care is a
completely bogus and ridiculous argument number three
that Republicans are just demanding what the people want
incorrect at number one the idea that people don't want Obamacare
is absurd we know that individually americans overwhelmingly support all
aspect including the individual mandate Obamacare
and broadly speaking are are are
it average individuals if you want to take the argument that we should do
whatever the average person says
about dat or or our budgets or whatever
I'll will be there any number of things that we don't put up the popular votes
and this could be one of those as well number for Harry Reid shut down the
government
this is just not true and number five since O'bama is delaying Obamacare for
his friends
he should for everyone else and the real story is that this delay we talked about
which is for the mandate on employers with 50 or more workers
was really around a paperwork issue the idea that the law is in principle being
delayed or altered for Obama's
friends but not for everyday people just isn't true
so Lewis that none of these theories about President Obama is
at fault here make any sense yet there is not
overwhelming evidence that americans understand this yes more americans blame
Republicans than Democrats for this
but there are still many Americans who just don't know or do blame Democrats
right and this is unfortunate I mean I I know that
there's always confusion when something this big goes down there's always
misinformation everywhere
and politicians on either side of the issue telling people
what they want people to hear why I mean all we can hope for is that there's a
positive affect
I soon and that all americans realize that
I just don't understand how you can say that with any with any level love
dignity that because Democrats won't
compromise with Republicans to allow the defunding
a democratically past and Supreme Court upheld law
they're not compromising imagine Louis if in order to pass a spending bill
democrats decided okay
will pass the spending bill but we want something in there that says
if you work for an oil company you've got to pay an extra 10 percentage points
love your income in tax right obviously it wouldn't pass there's there's a law
about taxation we have tax bracket you can't just throw something like that in
the bill
imagine then if democrats came out in blamed Republicans
were not compromising with them to pass a spending bill
nobody would buy that and this is the same
thing but I don't know for some reason because it Obamacare people don't seem
to get it
this is a you know if you were one of those Republicans who is
behind be a I the republic in
elected officials were you were doing this I you would probably be completely
convinced that Obamacare will bankrupt this country
and that you will be under the control some death panel
and that your life is over Lewis had a run in with the pyramid scheme are in
Austin Texas the other day and today's bonus show we're gonna hear about I'll
