Why Should Service Members Suffer Because of Political Predilections? | America Reports | 10.23.25

[00:00:00] The vote is still open but looks [00:00:02] destined to fail. Your reaction? [00:00:05] >> My reaction is is that this is sad. I [00:00:07] mean, think about this now. We're asking [00:00:09] our military servicemen and women who [00:00:10] wear the uniform of this country, who [00:00:12] are on active duty. We're asking them to [00:00:14] go out and perform that duty, keep us [00:00:15] safe, but the Democrats are saying, [00:00:17] "We're not going to pay you." Our cops, [00:00:19] Capitol Hill police, other federal law [00:00:21] enforcement, FBI, Border Patrol, not [00:00:24] going to get paid. Our veterans not [00:00:26] going to get care. I mean, I I don't [00:00:27] understand it. I don't understand what [00:00:29] they're doing. I don't understand why [00:00:30] you would want people to suffer because [00:00:32] of your political predelections. I mean, [00:00:35] you don't like the president. They don't [00:00:36] like the president. Fine. I get it. Get [00:00:38] over it. He won the election. Stop [00:00:40] punishing the American people for it. We [00:00:43] need more people like John Federman. [00:00:44] More people who put country over party [00:00:46] and are willing to say, "Hey, I'm going [00:00:47] to be an adult here. I'm going to stop [00:00:49] punishing the American people. Let's [00:00:51] come to the table, get the government [00:00:52] reopened, and get this done. This is [00:00:54] absurd.
