with the families of vets in the care of the VA. And we'll also see how much Musk gets to do with Social Security. That's the most popular federal program in history by all measures. But Musk has compared Social Security to an illegal private investment swindle. He did that on Joe Rogan's podcast last month.
Yes, Newsom took a more centrist position on bans on trans athletes in school sports. Now, Scott, I remember when would-be presidents would go on Larry King's CNN talk show to say they were thinking about the White House. Now, there may be a trend, as you suggest, towards starting your own pod. No one can be surprised that Newsom is thinking about what he may do for a living next.
He's term limited as governor after 2026. So why not start a pod and start having guests who might attract an audience outside your own political base? And certainly Charlie Kirk at age 31 with millions of followers hoping to be influential even after the Trump era, he certainly speaks to people far from Newsom's base.
Far apart and possibly getting farther even as we speak. Speaker Mike Johnson has said he wants a clean bill to extend current spending commitments through the end of the fiscal year in September and That sounds like the simple, typical kick-the-can solution here.
But House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries points out that the bill Johnson is backing would actually be a setup for the new Trump-Musk budget regime, with all that implies and sets in motion. And Johnson himself says the new spending bill would get the ball rolling on the next era of Trump-Musk cuts.
So there will not be any Democratic votes for that, meaning the Republican leaders in the House will have to get a majority. and in the Senate, a supermajority with the votes of their own members alone. And it's going to be tough bringing every last Republican on board for all this controversial stuff. That's not impossible, but the odds are not good.
So right now, it seems likely that next week at this time, we'll be in a shutdown, at least for a short period of time.
Thank you, Scott.
I tell my pediatric moms and dads. If they get a rash after the MMR, it's okay. It's not measles. It's just your body's reaction to the vaccine.

In 2007, 2008, I went out and I bought the most popular luxury mattresses. I tore them apart and I realized, based on the raw materials cost and the analysis that I had done, that I was able to sell that level mattress, but with a very affordable price.
