1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,199 Speaker 1: Michael or Mike. Hey, I listened to the podcast nowadays, 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: and I don't really know or care what your topics 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: are for this morning, so I'm leaving this after hours. 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: But I'm just wondering when I go back to how 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: much you were wringing your hands over Donald Trump during 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: the primaries and the nomination and you wanted DeSantis. Do 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: you think you could have got the job done that 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: Donald's doing? 9 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: To Michael, I got a question. 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: With this big budget stand up looming right now, does 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 3: that lend some credence to the idea that Doge really 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 3: just barely scratched the surface. If we're lucky and it 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 3: didn't really accomplish all that much, that's my question. 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 2: Did it really do anything? So Doge worth all this fuss? 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: Michael or Mike? I know I left to talk back earlier, 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: but I was getting to the end of and you 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: were talking about the lady that couldn't afford to pop 18 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: and stuff for her child. How does she afford a 19 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: phone or computer to post that kind of stuff? You 20 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: know what? I think? We're Upsiddale, Good morning from South Dakota. 21 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 4: It was tough, but I survived the first day of 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 4: the shutdown. 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: Everyone, have a great day. 24 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 5: How did everybody survive the first day of the government shutdown? 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 6: Hey, I'll tell you this to everybody. We need a 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 6: third way in the United States. I'm non American. I 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 6: live in Canada. But in Canada we have the New 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 6: Democratic Party. And God rest his soul. Jack Layton was 29 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 6: one heck of a man. And if we could follow 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 6: in the footsteps of Jack Layton and Democrats like John F. Kennedy, 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 6: I think we'd all be better off. 32 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 7: What amazes me is that so many of our elected 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 7: officials who are Jewish like the holidays, like Young Kapor, 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 7: and they'll like Honika. But yet at the same time, 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 7: they really don't practice their faith and just honor the 36 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 7: religion of progressivism. Yes, progressivism is not just political, it's 37 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 7: a faith. 38 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 8: Okay, Michael. 39 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: It's Ken and Sarasita. 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 8: Just back from the rural environs of Morocco in the 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 8: Atlas Mountains, where it was mostly difficult to find you 42 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 8: because of the great coverage over there. But I do 43 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 8: buy my rubber bands at office depot, and I buy 44 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 8: my nail again nails at home depot. 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: Have a great day. 46 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 5: Decades ago, a friend of mine who says he doesn't 47 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,559 Speaker 5: like people. Was so happy when gas stations in Colorado 48 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 5: quit having an attendant come to pump your gas and 49 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 5: check your oil and we finally had self service gas stations. 50 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 5: Self service. 51 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, Michael, Just a clarification, The Big Beautiful Bill did 52 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 9: not make it illegal for illegal immigrants to be covered 53 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 9: by Medicaid. States are still free to do that. The 54 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 9: only thing is said is if you do that, the 55 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 9: federal government is not going to reimburse you for any 56 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 9: of the costs you incur associated with providing medical care 57 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 9: to illegal aliens. 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 10: Hello, Mike or Michael. So I'm hoping that there are 59 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 10: a whole bunch of demon cats that are as pissed 60 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 10: off as I am, you know, because I make money, 61 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 10: not enough to afford health insurance, but too much to 62 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 10: get any subsidies, and yet those idiots in Washington want 63 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 10: to just give it all away to illegals, Like how 64 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 10: dare they? 65 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 11: So I'm wondering if this continuing resolution requires more than 66 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 11: just a simple majority, because we do have that in 67 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 11: both houses of cong Chris, So, are there Republicans that 68 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 11: are also against it? Or is it truly just the Democrats? 69 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 12: My wife and I are both retired, we're both on Medicare, 70 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 12: we both have supplemental insurance. So we're paying out the 71 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 12: ying yang for our health problems, and the Democrats want 72 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 12: us to pay more for these illegals. Hell, no, old 73 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 12: glory this I will defend Michael. 74 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: When AFC says four million Americans won't have insurance health insurance, 75 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 2: she means four million people in America, because all you 76 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 2: have to do is stick over the border, and to her, 77 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: you're an American. I think that's what she really means. Scary, 78 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: isn't it. 79 00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 13: Hey, Mike, If the furloughed U government employees are going 80 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 13: to get paid anyway, then all we're really doing is 81 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 13: paying them for a vacation. So if I get furloughed, 82 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 13: I don't get paid, and if I want to get paid, 83 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 13: I have to use vacation time. But if a government 84 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 13: employee gets furloughed, they still get paid. 85 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 9: Michael AOC said she was concerned about four million Americans 86 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 9: without health insurance. The CDC said as of the end 87 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 9: of twenty twenty four, there were twenty seven point two 88 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 9: million Americans without health insurance. Does she not know the 89 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 9: correct number or is she only concerned with the subset 90 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 9: of that twenty seven point two million. 91 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 14: Hey, Michael, I thought you were going to tell the 92 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 14: story of Mike is Al Green, the Texas House member 93 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 14: who is going to confront Donald Trump with his cane 94 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 14: on the floor. I thought that would have been really 95 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 14: funny too, So we've had multiple cainings. I guess thanks 96 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 14: for the history lesson too. 97 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: Twenty seven million people without health insurance. I thought Obamacare 98 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 4: was supposed to provide health insurance for everybody despite my 99 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 4: insurance quintupling or was it more than that between the 100 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 4: time Obamacare started today? 101 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 15: Michael Tom from South Dakota calling about the government shut 102 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 15: down and Trump truly is a threat to democracy. The 103 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 15: shrine to democracy last night didn't light up and it 104 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 15: was dark in South Dakota. Can you help me with 105 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 15: a GoFundMe to raise enough money to pay the guy 106 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 15: to flip the switch to light up the sky with 107 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 15: the shrine to democracy. Jeez, this is hard on us 108 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 15: in South Dakota. 109 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 16: Michael, I would sure like to hear you and capitalists 110 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 16: and others start tying this illegals first to Bennett and 111 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 16: his run for governor. 112 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 17: Thank you, good morning, Michael. You are right. It is 113 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 17: a very very sad day for the world. Jewish people 114 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 17: just being persecuted over and over and over. Good morning, Michael. 115 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 17: It is a very sad state of affairs for the 116 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 17: Jewish people, just continued persecution and open hate around the world, 117 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 17: certainly here in America not immune to it as much 118 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 17: as they say that it's typically the liberals. Unfortunately, I 119 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 17: think we've seen some on the far right, or at 120 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 17: least those with a big platform, join that fight with 121 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 17: the socialists.
