Schumer Shutdown-The Chaos the Dems have Unleashed, and Why

•

Cause of Shutdown: (https://www.foxnews.com/politi....cs/shutdown-fight-ca


•

Shutdown occurred after Congress failed to pass funding past September 30.


•

Cruz argues Democrats deliberately blocked a CR to appease their progressive base.



•

Senate Dynamics:


•

A CR passed the House but failed in the Senate, receiving 55 votes instead of the required 60.


•

Three Democrats (Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Angus King) voted with Republicans to keep government open.



•

Partisan Framing:


•

Democrats are motivated by hatred of Trump and internal party pressures.


•

Schumer is depicted as fearing a primary challenge from AOC and pandering to the left wing.



•

Policy Disputes:


•

Republicans claim Democrats demanded benefits such as free healthcare for undocumented immigrants and removal of work requirements for welfare.


•

The conversation suggests these were “unrealistic demands” meant only as political theater.



•

Impact of Shutdown:


•

Essential services (military, law enforcement, FAA) continue, but workers go unpaid temporarily.


•

Nonessential services like national parks and Smithsonian museums shut down.



•

Political Messaging:


•

Cruz and the host argue this is the “Schumer shutdown,” not a bipartisan failure.


•

They highlight Democrat statements from past years criticizing shutdown tactics, suggesting hypocrisy.

•

Strategic Angle:


•

The Trump administration is said to plan permanent layoffs (“reduction in force”) of federal bureaucrats during the shutdown, targeting those seen as left-leaning.


•

This is framed as a strategic opportunity to reshape the federal workforce.
