I remember that. 71 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: Uh the story about Paul Ryan. He was like the 72 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: time that I like remember why I got into politics. 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: Was that a keg party with somebody talking about how 74 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to like bring the deficit down.

Uh, it's like opaque because 79 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: they don't tell you who exactly is part of it. 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: I mean there are people who you know outwardly are 81 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: The Pew Research Group said it's around maybe forty nine lawmakers. 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: So keep that in mind, you can only lose three votes. 83 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: They're forty nine of these people who are sort of 84 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: aligned with this agenda. They released Republican Yeah, forty nine Republicans. 85 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: You got to get all forty like basically forty six 86 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: of the forty nine, forty seven of the forty nine.

One, it actually increases the deficit, 90 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: which is a huge thing for them again because they're 91 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: a horny for deficit to come down. It quote waters 92 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: down cuts to propose infrastructure investment and Jobs Act funding, 93 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: and fails to ensure illegals are fully removed from Medicaid roles. Again, 94 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: undocumented people are already ineligible.

You know, Paramount. What do we need more 372 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: than anything right now? We need a corporate merger. We 373 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: need a Paramount and Skydance Media to merge. And Paramount 374 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: did it. They managed to give the Trump administration sixty 375 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: million dollars in a payoff slash legal settlement. But their 376 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: legal settlement. 377 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: I don't like that people are saying they bribed the 378 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: administration to allow the sky Dance merger to go through. 379 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: I think that's important taste, just because they paid sixteen 380 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: million dollars transactionally. 381 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: To the merger to go through, so that for people 382 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: weren't following the story, they wanted this merger to happen. 383 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: It was going to make all the like leaders in 384 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: the c suite a bunch of money. And then like 385 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: sixty minutes had a interview that was critical of Trump 386 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: and he was like, well, maybe maybe a merger doesn't 387 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: go through, and filed a lawsuit against CBS, and they 388 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: both like got rid of the CBS news like leadership 389 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: and then also paid Trump sixteen million dollars. And now 390 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: he's like, huh, all right. 391 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 2: Okay, actually I have a bad protocol.
