Mike Davis: If Democrats Want To Shut Down The Government To Give Health Care To Illegals, Keep It Shut Down
Article III Project founder Mike Davis discussed the government shutdown and why it has had little impact on ordinary Americans during an interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
STEVE BANNON: Is anything here, I mean, we’re at a leverage point right now with the Democrats shutting down the government, Schumer shutting down the government over giving illegal aliens health care, and that’s a hill they’re prepared to die on. So, in this leverage moment, what would be your recommendation to Russ and Paoletta and Jeff Clark and the team? MIKE DAVIS: Well, they’re more bold and fearless than even I am, so I don’t need to throw gas on the fire. I mean, there’s going to be enough gasoline at OMB where I don’t need to cause any more problems. But look, what I would recommend, if I were Russ, what I would recommend to the president is if the Democrats want to shut down our government so they can give a trillion dollars in free health care to illegal aliens, keep the government shut down. And then, remember during shutdowns with Democrat presidents, the Democrat presidents and their administration, their OMB, Office of Management and Budget, make it as painful as possible on real Americans and real America. They shut down the national parks, they shut down post offices, they make it very difficult for real Americans and real America during shutdowns. I would recommend to President Trump and his team, make it very difficult on the D.C. swamp. Lay off these workers. And look, if the government’s been shut down, how long has it been shut down? For two days? Does anyone feel the difference? I don’t. Do you, Steve? I mean, maybe, just maybe, if the government’s shut down and we don’t feel it, maybe that government agency that shut down is utterly useless and should be permanently shut down. So I would do permanent layoffs of these useless government workers in Washington, D.C. who are overpaid and underworked. They wouldn’t show up to work for four years during COVID. They pissed and moaned because they got ordered by President Trump to actually show up to work. Get rid of them. Fire these people. Make it painful for the D.C. insiders and don’t make it painful for real Americans and real America.
