Speaker 2 (00:13):
Welcome to the Brian Mud Show. Thanks for listening. Passion
plus talent is unstoppable. It's time for today's top three takeaways.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Trump's agenda it is on track, and Noah's Florida impact
the news this morning. The One Big Beautiful Bill is
very close to becoming your reality by a two fifteen
and two fourteen vote in the House of Representatives. It
is signed, sealed, and delivered to the United States Senate the.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Obb B are you down with this thing?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Che you?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Are you down with this though?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
With the changes I've heard about and you're about to
tell us about. Yes, So Joel's back down with you
know me? There we go.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Okay? And by the way, I am too. There are
things I.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Was a little bit busy, with a little bit slow
answering you. I was taking food out of children's mouths.
Oh you're busy.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
He came, did Jeffreys and his impassioned plea there right
before the final vote, did say that literally food was
being taken out of the mouths of children. But aside
from the fact that I don't know that you're actually
going to see members of Congress go into the mouths

(01:32):
of children with food, well, you like they're chewing and
going hang on, open those open those jaws, and then
got it.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I tried to steal, you know, food out of the
mouths that I didn't like the kind of food they
were eating.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Right, So, aside from from that aspect, probably not taking place.
The reality is that one of the big changes between
this time yesterday and today is on the Medicaid work
requirements side, which is where they're saying that in snap
work requirements, the food is going to be taken out
of the mouths of children. Here is Fox's Chad program

(02:08):
with an overview of some of the key changes.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
We have what's called a manager's amendment. These are changes
to the bill that Mike Johnson has crafted to try
to coax some of those skeptical members to vote yes.
The Medicaid work requirement that will start now in December
twenty twenty six, the Green Energy tax credit some.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Of them will end in twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
And also there is now an incentive to harness some
of the expansion of Medicaid into these non medicaid states.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Okay, so yes, lots of additional savings. We are talking
about hundreds of billions of dollars in additional savings with
what was just described there over this time yesterday, and
there's even more that comes into place.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'll talk about that in a second.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
But since we're talking about the work requirements, so the
work requirements on Medicaid and SNAP, I've covered this, but
a bears repeating in case you missed it, and for
anybody who may have forgotten. Is the most absurd thing
in the world to try to assert.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
We're taking healthcare away from people. We're literally taking food
away from babies. Here is the change.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
If you do not at least work twenty hours if
you are of working age enabled bodies, so in other words,
you are not disabled and you're of working age, if
you do not do at least twenty.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Hours of work in a week.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
If you do not, if you're not working, work, look
for work for at least twenty hours a week, or
volunteer do community service for at least twenty hours a week,
then you no longer get Medicaid or SNAP. So what
had Keme Jeffries and the Left is saying is that

(03:52):
people should not have to that are able bodied, should
not have to work for twenty hours a week, or
look for work for twenty hours in a week, or
do community service for twenty hours in a week. They
should just get to sit on their lazy butts, collect
money from you, and then do whatever the heck it.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Is they want to do. That is what they are
advocating for.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
And the only children they're going to have food that
would not be provided are by children that already are
unfortunately with those kinds of parents, which in the grand
scheme of things, the problems are probably much bigger at
that point. That is the reality on the ground. Lazy
slugs the only people that have any change un Medicaid

(04:40):
and snap. And we are always supposed to be providing
a safety net, not a net for slugs. They want
to live off of us, off of us that you know,
actually get to work and pay taxes and do things
like that productive members of society. If it were twenty
hours a week, I mean, I still think that's way
too generous.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I still I'm glad they pushed it up because it
was I think it was twenty twenty nine. It was
going to take effect these work requirements, and I'm glad
they pushed it up. I would have preferred a little
earlier than December of next year, but I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I guess yes.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, a big part of that too is, you know
the budget years and the way they run too anyway,
so the new budget year doesn't hit to September. So
basically what it is, it's a one year ramp before
that hits, all right, So we just kind of broke
that down. This is past the House of Representatives. The
other thing that's going to hit. That's a very big

(05:32):
piece of this continued dose savings. So all the additional
savings that DOZE finds along the way that will still
be applied. All the additional savings that agency heads and
the Trump administration find will still be applied above and
beyond savings on some of these programs. So, in other words,

(05:54):
the deficit spending outlook, what you hear today is the worst.
It'll be actually be getting progressively better from here. And
so that is why one I am down with the
OBBB and enough House Republicans were to make it become reality.

(06:16):
In the House of Representatives and so now the Senate
see how that comes together. My second takeaway for you
today and related to the budget. Noah Way, Noah Way,
Congressman and de Harris, we want.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
To deliver the president's agenda.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
The bottom line is he said, n waste, drawden abuse
in Medicaid, which is a hugely popular issue with the
American people.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
And he said, and the Green new Scam, and about
the Green New scam.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
So the Green New Deal never came to fruition, but
elements of it did during the Biden administration, and a
lot of those were passed through Noah. So Noah in
many ways has been politicized and a lot of what
they have been working on in recent years has been
relayed to the left green agenda and politicize largely so

(07:05):
as Congressional Republicans were working on the Big Beautiful bill,
they ended up putting Doge findings into it pertaining to
Noah and a couple things about the political left that
you probably know, as the detesting of Doge has shown,
it is never okay in the eyes of the left
to cut government spending anyway, even with Doge having saved

(07:28):
the average taxpayer over one thousand dollars today by not
funding things like transgendered Provian comic book Heroes, which was
one of the many projects undertaken by USAID, or funding
a Taliban terrorist. Yes, did you know we were funding
Tailiban terrorists through the US Institute of Peace. That's fun,

(07:49):
or heck, just parties of Caesar's Palace because why not.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, let's have a good time. It's only taxpayer money, right.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So, naturally, when it comes to a government agency that
you actually know and probably like, the left is absolutely
ready to fight. And that is the case with pending
Noah cuts. There is a full court press on across
our state right now trying to scare you over Noah.
Noah is currently the third most approved off government agency,

(08:17):
only behind the National Weather Service in NASA, with a
net positive approval rating of fifty points, meaning you got
fifty percent more people that take a look at Noah
and go yeah, yeah, I like them than those that
don't at the recommendation of DOGE and as is currently
being accounted for in the Big Beautiful Bill because of

(08:38):
Green Initiatives Biden administration, Green New Deal is kind of
stuff that was pushed through in Noah. You have cuts
of one and a half billion dollars per year, or
about twenty two percent of the Noah budget. That is
going away to trivia time. How many employees? What do
you expect Noah to have? What do you think Noah

(09:00):
would have? We have our ideas of what Noah kind
of does. I'm not sure the entire scope whatever you know? Okay,
you think, Okay, Hurricane Center, you got the the Noah
Hurricane Hunter aircraft. The answer was over twelve thousand until
just recently, over twelve thousand. By the way, it stands
at about eleven thousand employees as of today after the

(09:21):
initial Dojing, but just under one thousand more that are
unlikely to stay. So it is likely safe to say
that you hadn't noticed. Have you noticed any any changes
in employment? I Noah, Joel no, no, yeah, I don't
think anybody other than those people actually had, which is
kind of the point. And within all federal government agencies,

(09:42):
by the way, and this takes me to my next takeaway.
What large federal government agency do you think has been
running that peak efficiency?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Jill, go which one? Zero? Oh?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Come on, and I don't mean there's some government agency
called zero. I mean none of them be great, just
then get my hopes up. So here's a hint on
this one. If you name any if you name any.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Federal agency that you think is running a peak efficiency,
you have no credibility with me or anyone who has
actually researched this stuff. Seriously, there is no less efficient
entity in this country than a federal government agency. As
I've done the average efficiency ratings that brought this to
you previously, eighteen percent efficiency is the average outcomes efficiency

(10:34):
in private enterprise. It tends to be over ninety percent
with your average nonprofit. It is eighty percent eighteen with
federal government agencies. So Noah probably does better than most.
But to suggest that there's no bloat, I mean please.
So anyway, here is a story that has been moved

(10:56):
around the state and is being used right now to
try to actively scare people about Noah. It originated in
a golf Coast online publication, sun Coast Searchlight, written by
a reporter originally from Madison, Wisconsin who's worked for left
wing outlets The Progressive and The Guardian. It's been picked

(11:18):
up by news outlets from around the state under multiple headlines,
always trying to make it sound as dire as possible
for the targeted audience, like this in the Miami Herald,
most recently, how budget cuts could harm Florida's fishing economy,
threaten red tide research, and the story goes on to
say stuff like this, Sweeping cuts to the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration could imperil Florida's multi billion dollar fishing

(11:41):
industry and in coastal economy. Industry leaders and scientists warn
a dire prospect for a region built on tourism, seafood,
and the health of its waters. At one point in
the story, with the reporting reporter showing her true color,
she said, the Gulf of Mexico recognized federally as the
Gulf of America by Trump's executive order any like?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Seriously? That means it actually is the way that is
federally recognized. Period.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Should I also point out that it is the Gulf
of America by law in the state for which the
story is written. Just details here, right, But anyway, the
story goes on in great detail and with many anecdotes
about how vital Noah's work is to Florida's coastal sustaina building.
This includes numerous projects and grants from the agency that

(12:30):
supports them. And by the way, as a conservationist, I
am supportive of a lot of Noah's work. They do
a lot of good work, and I don't want to
suggest otherwise. But here's the thing, and it's a considerable one.
And also my second trivia question for you. I did
a little work on this yesterday. What percentage of Noah's
budget goes to Florida's specific projects?

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Do?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Do?

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Do?

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Do?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Got a number of mine?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Here's the story about how if these Noah cuts go through,
it's the end of the world for Florida's fishing economy,
for our water, everything, it's all We're done.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
The answer is one percent.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Okay, so technically one point one seven percent of what
Noah does is Florida's specific To boil this down even
further somehow or another, I'm sure that our state will
pull through if Noah has only and I say that
in quotations about ten thousand employees and spends seventeen point

(13:34):
three million fewer dollars on Florida's specific projects. Yes, that
is what the figure would be if the cuts are
applied equitably, seventeen point three million dollars save it. People
I mean, there is a chance there wouldn't be any
meaningful impact, like nothing, anybody would notice a period in
our state. But I mean seventeen point three is like

(13:55):
the high water mark. So yes, they're trying hard. This
one was a good effort. They still need to fail better,
at least if they're going to be able to fool
me and by extension, you
