What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, what's up? Of course you're in our kitchen. Do you even need to ask me why? No, because we're going to have a tasting menu for eight different dishes in the kitchen. Probably because you bought all these amazing kitchen tools for a good price. They're made for use.
But who's going to take care of the dishes? It's nice that you asked, because in fact... In fact, there are good tools for every business. The question was then about your or your friend's project.
Tulosyy, terveystalon määräaikaistarkastus. Välillä kipua hartioissa, sormissa puutumisoireita. Asiakas kertoo tekevänsä kausiluonteista tiimityötä pakkauslinjastolla, ajoittain epäergonomisissa asennoissa. Pitkän työkokemuksen myötä löytänyt kuitenkin toimivattavat tonttuilla, vielä seuraavatkin sata vuotta.
Maga Mike Johnson made a stunning admission during the morning press conference where he was asked, so why don't you just bring the Republican members back to the House? Why don't you support... funding and paying essential workers. Why don't we start there, Mike Johnson? Because the Senate seems willing to do that. Why don't you do that? Why do you keep telling the House members that they need to be on vacations and not show up and not speak to Democrats, let alone negotiate with Democrats? Isn't schoolhouse rocks? Isn't fifth grade government like the parties are supposed to talk to each other? Why are you telling your members don't talk to Democrats? That's kind of odd, Maga Mike, don't you think?
Here's what he says. Here, play this clip.
Well, no, I don't know that.
We just demonstrated it's not true, Chad. We passed the CR to get everybody paid. If I brought everybody back right now and we voted on a measure to do this to pay essential workers, it would be spiked in the Senate. They're going to show you this afternoon that they would spike that bill. So it would be a waste of our time, and it would take the pressure off Chuck Schumer to get his job done and open the government again. This is what's so infuriating to us. Yes, sir.
As Maga Mike says, you don't want to see mad Maga Mike. He wants to be the happy warrior is what he's been repeating over and over and over again. Well, then he threatens people who are going to football games. I think that's their approach. I guess first it was blame immigrants, then transgender people in Peru, and then go back to immigrants and now say Democrats are destroying football. Here, play this clip.
We are rounding into a holiday season, as we all know. And we're in the middle of the height of the football season. This is peak travel time for the U.S. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are going to travel to football games this weekend, for example. And if the current trajectory continues, many Americans could miss watching their favorite teams and reconnecting with friends and family. So football fans, hey. If you're stuck in the airport this weekend while your favorite team is about to kick off, you can blame the Democrats for that, all right?
I mean, who's writing these scripts for him? I mean, this would be like on Saturday Night Live and maybe mildly funny if they weren't ripping away the health care of 20 million people. Hey, football fans. Blame the Democrats. Who writes these things?
What happened during Mike Johnson’s chaotic morning press conference?
And then they claim that they're the party of health care as they're ripping away health care from 20 million Americans. And everybody knows it. Just extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies and protect Medicaid. But he goes, we've shown that we're here to do it. Remember that budget bill? We saved it. We did it. We gave you health. No one believes this.
Here, play this clip. When the government dumps more money on a bad system, it makes it worse. And that is the reality. We have to make everybody face that, and then we've got to build the consensus around the solutions. We have lots of ideas. The Republican Party is the party ready to fix that, and we're demonstrating that every day. We brought down costs in Medicaid, and we strengthened the program in the big, beautiful bill because we got ineligible enrollees off the program, and we brought down the cost.
