Co-host Lindsey Keith pointed out that Paul is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gop-senators-demand-vote-to-defund-biden-vax-mandates-or-government-shutdown\">six Republican Senators<\/a> who signed a letter refusing to pass a Continuing Resolution on an expedited basis unless the Senate allows a vote on an amendment defunding enforcement of the Biden administration\u2019s remaining vaccine mandates for federal employees and medical workers. Keith then asked Paul to comment on the efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow this should not shock you, the government is going to run out of money, again,\u201d said Paul. \u201cThe government is always running out of money, because we\u2019re perpetually spending more than comes in. So yes, there will be another deadline.\u201d Paul pointed out that he had previously proposed a legislative concept he called a \u201cshutdown prevention bill,\u201d which would decrease government spending by 1% every 90 days if Congress fails to pass a budget resolution before funding expires. Paul argued that his idea would be good for the country because it would actually lead to \u201creal cuts,\u201d which would compel Congress to \u201cscamper around and immediately pass more bills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul then shifted to the topic of mandates specifically. \u201cNow what we\u2019ve said [in regard to] the vaccine mandates is, we\u2019re sick and tired of the government mandating our behavior and taking our liberty away, and I\u2019m as mad as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-these-very-powers-are-why-we-are-here-canadian-protesters-dig-their-heels-in-against-trudeaus-crackdown\">Canadian truckers<\/a> are. I want to end,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThere\u2019s no science behind these mask mandates, we\u2019re just punishing our children, let\u2019s end it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, it\u2019s beginning to unravel,\u201d Paul continued, pointing to the fact that a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-york-business-mask-mandate-to-end\">Democratic Governors<\/a> are beginning to \u201cback away\u201d from their statewide mask mandates. \u201cBut we need to push from here in Washington [D.C.].\u201d He then announced that he was gathering signatures from fellow lawmakers to force a repeal of the federal regulation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-signs-order-requiring-travelers-to-wear-face-masks\">mandating masks to be worn on airlines<\/a>. \u201cYou know, cloth masks don\u2019t work, the virus goes through the cloth mask and around the cloth mask. It\u2019s a joke, it\u2019s theater, and there\u2019s no reason to be wearing them on the planes. we are just punishing ourselves. And I, for one, I\u2019m tired of paying the airlines to be treated like crap when I get on the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to be treated like a paying customer, and I want them to bring me at least a glass of water and peanuts, and I don\u2019t want somebody jammering at me to put my mask on in between peanuts,\u201d Paul joked, eliciting a laugh from Spicer. \u201cI mean, for goodness\u2019 sakes, I\u2019m paying you money, treat me like a customer. So I\u2019m tired of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen they hide behind this federal law, saying, \u2018Oh the federal law makes us do this,&#8217;\u201d he added. \u201cOnly because the airlines begged the federal government for the federal law so they could hide behind. So let\u2019s get rid of it. I\u2019m gonna force a vote on it, we\u2019ll see where the Democrats are, but I think the people are like me, fed up and tired of all these regulations and mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
