Tulosyy, Terveystalon määräaikaistarkastus. Pientä kremppaa ollut polvissa ja selässä. Kausiluonteista kiirettä tasapainottavat lämmin työyhteisö- ja merkityksellisiksi koettu työ. Terveyden tila pitkään ikään nähden hyvä. Kokonaisuudessaan oikein hyväkuntoinen mies. Voisi jopa sanoa, terve kuin pukki. Me keskitymme terveyteen, jotta joulupukki voi keskittyä tärkeimpään.

Tietenkin sä oot meidän keittiössä. Tarviiks mua edes kysyä miksi? Ei, sillä nyt tulee kahdeksan ruokalajin maistelumeny tuossa tuokiossa pöytään. Varmaan, koska ostit nää kaikki upeet keittiövälineet tosi edullisesti. Käytettäväksi ne on tehty. Mut kuka hoitaa tiskit? Kiva kun kysyit, sillä itse asiassa... Itse asiassa.

81.516 - 89.185

Biilteemasta löytyy edulliset välineet hommaan kuin hommaan. Oli kysymys sitten omasta tai kaverin projektista.

90.987 - 107.258 Ben Meiselas

Where is Donald Trump? I'll tell you where. He is in hiding from his own shutdown. Utterly pathetic, as California Governor Gavin Newsom noted. He is rotting away. He is stewing in his misery and his hate.

107.238 - 136.484 Ben Meiselas

for our country and like the coward that he is as his hand rots away he is hiding right now he sent out jd vance and caroline levitt yesterday to spew the same old nonsense blaming migrants and transgender people for the shutdown it's not working donald people know that you control all branches of government. And in government in the United States, you have to reach compromise.

136.524 - 162.095 Ben Meiselas

You have to behave like an adult and stop posting your stupid memes of leader Jeffries wearing a sombrero and having a mustache with mariachi bands. That's not funny during a situation as serious as this. And it's just weird and bizarre as well. You were the person, Donald Trump, who said that It is the president who gets blamed for shutdowns.

162.135 - 183.114 Ben Meiselas

Maybe that's one of the reasons that you are in hiding right now, because you do know that it's your fault, and you do know the American people are blaming you right now, so you don't want to be the face of it. So you're putting JD Vance. And I could show you all a dozen clips of this, but I'll just show you one clip. As Governor Newsom says, call it the Trump effect. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 2: Why is Donald Trump hiding from his own shutdown?

397.943 - 413.082 Ben Meiselas

Well, it has an end in sight if Republicans just protect the American people's healthcare. All of their lies that the money's going to unlawful migrants, it's not allowed to go there under federal law. Transgender surgeries in Peru, transgender for everybody. What the hell are you even talking about?

0

413.562 - 433.003 Ben Meiselas

Americans who are on Affordable Care Act plans, like 20 million, are going to either lose their healthcare or it's gonna become so expensive I saw some data right here that like the average family, take a look at this. This is the stat from Steve Ratner. Pull this one up, guys. Democrats are fighting to preserve an Obamacare tax credit.

433.364 - 463.696 Ben Meiselas

Without it, a 55-year-old couple making $85,000 would see their premiums more than triple to $24,000 a month. More than 24... How does a couple that makes $85,000 a year... pay $24,000 in health insurance. That's ridiculous. So Trump and all these maggots just stop blaming migrants and stop blaming transgender people. This is a real issue that's going to bankrupt most Americans.

0

464.016 - 469.142 Ben Meiselas

So let's act like adults and stop with your stupid memes and behave like freaking grownups. Nope.

0

Chapter 3: How is Trump blaming others for the government shutdown?

469.162 - 485.507 Ben Meiselas

But they want to do their memes right here. This is what the White House account was posting. Chuck Schumer dressed as a hot dog. Oh, very funny. I mean, I know the meme. And By the way, you won. I'm good. You like humor. All good. I like a joke, but not in this context right here.

485.888 - 506.2 Ben Meiselas

When you're the president of the United States and you've told Democrats last week, go F yourself in response to serious good faith negotiations. When our government. Depends on good faith negotiations between both political parties. When you told Republicans do not negotiate with Democrats, don't even speak to them, was your position before.

0

506.56 - 521.978 Ben Meiselas

When you've referred to Democrats as the enemy from within and held a meeting in front of 800 military generals and admirals telling them to invade American cities and that the real wars they're going to fight are wars against American people in Democratic cities.

0

521.958 - 546.058 Ben Meiselas

when you've just stripped tens of billions of dollars more in funding from democratic cities when by the way former president biden his inflation reduction act and all of his plans helped red states even more than the blue states i mean texas received 20 of all inflation reduction act funds and biden was like oh that's a state that tends to vote republican no he was the president for all america so

0

546.038 - 551.227 Ben Meiselas

Texas and red states, they get to keep their funding, but you go after the blue states. How utterly pathetic.

551.247 - 570.358 Ben Meiselas

That's why when you do memes like this, while Americans are suffering, while Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and facing the psychological torture of that, while Americans can't afford their groceries right now, while Americans can't afford a home, if they're lucky enough to have a home with a mortgage, they can't afford to pay their mortgage. Worst housing market.

570.338 - 599.552 Ben Meiselas

since 1995 right now and if you're renting you probably can't pay your rent you can't pay your mortgage if you have a house and now you've got to bail out farmers remember what i said at the outset how donald trump bailing out argentina destroying our farmers then we got to bail out our farmers this is the height of a ponzi scheme robbing peter to pay paul or in this case robbing our farmers to pay argentina to then rob more from the taxpayers to pay our farmers do you see what's happening here people

599.532 - 622.974 Ben Meiselas

Isn't it so freaking obvious? And I don't care what political party you're from. This should just be self-evident, right? Like it's self-evident that Donald Trump is a fraud. He's a bankruptor. He's a sexual abuser. He's a felon. And he's behaving as such right now in the Oval Office. That's what he's doing or what's going to be left of it after their stupid 90,000 square foot golden ballroom.

623.375 - 646.379 Ben Meiselas

Here's what Donald Trump actually posted yesterday. The audacity. Here's what he posts. The soybean farmers of our country. are being hurt because China is for negotiating it. But that in quotes reasons only not buying. We've made so much money on tariffs that we are going to take a small portion of that money and help our farmers. I will never let our farmers down. You did pause.

Chapter 4: What are the consequences of Trump's tariffs on American farmers?

853.561 - 879.686 Ben Meiselas

August was revised down by 57,000 jobs going backwards. So August actually had negative 3,000 jobs. Now, September was negative 32,000 jobs. ADP was expecting 51,000 jobs to be created. Do you remember under former President Biden when I would do reports? I'd be like 150,000 new jobs were created, 50,000 new. There was massive job creation month after month after month.

880.067 - 899.738 Ben Meiselas

And Donald Trump took it and just destroyed it. And now he wants to blame Biden for what he's doing. We saw the direction that it's going in, you moron. He's so dumb, these people, and dangerous. Carl Quintanilla also posts the following. There's only one sector truly holding up in ADP job numbers now.

0

899.778 - 928.986 Ben Meiselas

So even with those bad job numbers, the only thing that's holding up the job numbers, even to have a negative 32,000 number, guess what it is? Health services and education. Health services and education. The main areas that these MAGA idiots want to cut. The one area of growth under Trump is the area they're attacking right now. And that the Democrats want to preserve and save. Like...

928.966 - 947.643 Ben Meiselas

Do you see what's happening? I mean, look at the chart. Manufacturing in a recession. Construction in a recession. Trade transportation utilities getting crushed. Go ask truckers and freight shippers what the hell's going on there. Leisure and hospitality may as well be considered a depression. at this point with the whole world boycotting the United States.

0

947.663 - 978.715 Ben Meiselas

The one area that's doing good is education and health services, and that's what the Trump regime is going after. New York Post is even reporting, beef prices reach record highs as droughts leave cattle inventory depleted. Food inflation, 3.2%. Meat inflation, 5.4%. Ground beef inflation, 12.8%. Beef roast, 13.6%. Steak inflation, 16.6%. That's what's happening. And meanwhile, you have J.D.

978.756 - 984.125 Ben Meiselas

Vance showing up on Fox and all they want to talk about is sombrero this, sombrero that, play this clip.

984.285 - 989.935

So can you give us some insight into what they talked about, maybe how we can come to a compromise? And the hats?

990.255 - 993.06 Ben Meiselas

The Trump trolling them with 28 hats.

994.677 - 1004.593 JD Vance

Yeah, thank you, Lawrence. That's the most important part. They're also the Trump 2028 hats, which I think made the majority or the minority leader in both the House and the Senate very uncomfortable.
