Speaker 1 (00:01):
Michael, I heard you might have some issue with someone
listing their fitness achievements on their resume. Well, I'm wondering
just how big a boy are you, because my fitness
achievement is I'm able to open a fifty five gallon
drum of what bass with one hand, and I'm sure
(00:21):
as hell going to be listing that on my resume.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yesterday, it was so glorious to see the people's voices
heard and speaking up on X pressuring Congress to not
vote for the absurd continuing resolution bill, which was over
fifteen hundred pages anything but a continuing resolution full of
(00:45):
pork and was complete bull beep trying to give Congress
raises they don't deserve it. Be sure you update your
iHeart app to see an even uglier looking app than before.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Way to go.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Remember a few months ago how Speaker Mike Johnson told
us we would not be in this situation where they
were trying to push a bill through right before Christmas.
He lied to us again. Also, Congress was scheduled to
work about one hundred and thirty eight days in twenty
twenty four. For US average people, we have about two
(01:24):
hundred and thirty days. We work if you take into
account holidays and vacation complete bs. Remember a few months

Congress was scheduled to work about one hundred and thirty
(01:46):
eight days in twenty twenty four. For US average people,
we have about two hundred and thirty days we work
if you take into account holidays and vacation complete BS.
What insane is this? We just forgave Somalia a one
point one four billion dollar loan. Now Somalia has hired
(02:09):
a DC lobbying firm so that they can get more
money from US. As a nation, we are trillions of
dollars in debt and our people can't afford food and gas.
But this is what we're living through. Thanks Congress, Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
This is Couber seven three one six and Louisville.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Okay, Hey, I happen to be out in Colorado today
and I'm on Lukiland Avenue, and I tell you what
man you gave Dragon and his wife.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Oh, come on, we don't need to know what was
in the cr it's dead. Leave it alone.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Michael, I completely agree with you. We need to go
over what was in that ce our bill and how
much our congress people were trying to get away with,
in addition to the beyond frivolous study on completely least
stupid stuff. Please go over all the highlights of that bill. Thanks, Mike.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I know math isn't your strong suit, but the average
weekly pay of a congressman is triple the average weekly
salary of the American worker, not double, Michael.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Sounds like the Senate dining room is no different than
going out with your mom to lunch at the hospital.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You know, somebody's got to pay for it.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Well, well, Mike, that's very interesting about the congressional dining room.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
It sounds like the pigs get the milk.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Good morning from South Dakota. My pay increase through Social
Security is two point five percent for twenty twenty five,
and with the cost increase of the supplements that erases
about half that. So there you go, everyone, have a
great day.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Michael. I find it more than a little ironic that
our government had to create an entire new department to
try to root out all this waste and try to
make things efficient. I think what Ramaswami and Musk are
going to do could turn out to be really important.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Michael tom from South Dakota. According to my stats, thirty
two percent of the five hundred and thirty five members
are lawyers and twenty percent or one hundred and seven
members are from the teaching profession. So we know what happens.
Their attorneys are never paid enough, and the teaching profession
(04:35):
has always been told they don't make enough. So you
have fifty two percent of the people wanting more money
because they don't make enough.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Michael.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Mike Johnson's such a rhino.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
He was trying to push such a garbage bill through.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Oh, we got to push it through.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
We gotta push it through.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh my gosh, this guy's gotta go, Mike.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Maybe Doze can be like the Tea Party used to be,
just making recommendations and not actually being the politician. Zish, Michael,
it was the Ministry of disinformation straight.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Out and ran.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Mike. Here's my question. We've all watched this over the
last four years. The Democrats have been absolutely horrible. It
seems like they're on the wrong side of every policy.
My question to you is why.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Hey, Michael, I'm not sure if you've talked about this
yet or not, but I heard that Congress is trying
to opt themselves out of Obamacare.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Why would they want to opt themselves out of something
that works so well?
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Subway problem?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Do you remember back in Frankfurt, Germany a few years ago,
every time you went into that airport there was big
men with big guns and big dogs. I think we
got to turn loose a couple of our good military
trainers with a couple of those big German shepherds walking
through there. I think that would stop the crime. I
(05:59):
don't know about you. I may not be afraid of
a gun, but you have that big old dog sticking
his nose in your crotch. You're gonna do whatever they
want you to do.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Michael, if we subtract how many minutes of advertising time
we listen to you in a given hour, I think
he only worked maybe twenty minutes an hour,
