Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael and Dragon. It's called tragedy of the commons. When
it's not your bathroom, you don't treat it nicely. When
it's yours, you do treat it nicely.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's why women go hogwild on a woman's restroom in
a public place. Okay, yes, sayah clean the l pass
sale restaurant in Santa Barbara when I was very much younger,
very famous restaurant, and I figured out why the ladies
(00:30):
restroom is nasty. It's nasty because they don't give up,
you know what, because they don't have to clean it
and they're sick and tired of cleaning.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay, so now we've got the why. Kathleen and that
goober uh huh explained to us why uh huh. I
want to know the how well, I'm gonna draw you
a picture or something. I want them to. I want
them to in an FCC compliant way to tell us
(01:07):
how so ladies grab ankles and just let her rip. Ladies,
just tell us how it is when it's the what
was the commons? The theory of the commons? Right, Yeah,
you don't have to clean it. You don't have to,
so you don't care. Okay, Well, so that. So that
means you do what when you go in there, you
(01:27):
just go off and like do a sprinkler. I mean, man,
that's really good. Do that again. I think you've got to.
You have a new career. You need sound effects on
this program. Ah, you'll never get that one from me.
(01:49):
As somebody else on the text line admitted they can't
roll their rs either, and they've been trying since they
were kids. You know who says he can't do it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
He can't do it with the last name of Rodriguez, Rodriguez,
he can't.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
He can't roll his ars. Huh, Well, maybe maybe he's
a white Hispanic. Maybe he's like that guy down on
floor that killed or you'll beat up what was that? See?
I remember that game? You know, white Hispanic. Okay, let's
do another cal Let's do a different kind of California
Colorado comparison, because, uh what you maybe you're interested, maybe
(02:27):
you're not. I don't care. I'm gonna tell you anyway.
What got me interested in this is Newsom's been doing
a series of things, like on the on the energy stuff.
The California Air Resources Board started reporting out these reports,
and of course that shows up in my show prep
(02:48):
and I started doing, oh, well, how does that apply
to Colorado? And I see always the same, the exact thing.
It's like we're on a parallel track. Well, Newsom did
something else, and I want to tell you about Newsom,
and on this one, I have some specifics about the
same things happening here. And the dumbass Democrats, particularly Jared
(03:12):
poul Well for that, not particularly, They're all dumbasses, are
not paying attention, and you and I are going to
get socked with it eventually. So Newsom unveiled a proposal. Now, really,
this is a state, it's a sanctuary state. They wanted
all these illegal aliens to come in to California, primarily,
(03:35):
I think because they wanted to preserve as many congressional
seats as they could. They were losing population and they
needed to keep those seats to keep their influence in Congress.
So come on down, come to California, and let us
entice you to come to California, because will allow you,
even if you're an illegal alien, will allow you to
(03:58):
enroll in the states Medicaid program, which in California is
called medical Well, Newsom's that's what they did. And then
they realized Holy thesis. Batman, Uh, this is going to
cost us more than we could possibly ever pay. So
(04:19):
now Newsom has backtracked and he has decided that he's
put forth a proposal to freeze new illegal alien adult
enrollments in medical Now the freeze would apply to new
adult applicants over the age of nineteen, but it won't
remove current enrollies from the program. So the bathtub is flooding,
(04:45):
So he wants to keep the water level at just
at the top of the lip of the bathtub, but
he wants to turn the faucet off. In addition to
turning the faucet off, he's proposed a one hundred dollars
monthly premium for medical participants nineteen and older with and
(05:09):
I cannot believe this, but these are the words that
he uses. He wants to cap their premium at one
hundred dollars a month. If you're over the age of
nineteen and you have quote unsatisfactory immigration status. What the
(05:30):
hell does that mean? Well, that category includes individuals whose
immigration status disqualifies them from federally funded medicaid. So that's
going to encompass both illegal aliens and those with lawful status.
And that premium would take effect this coming. No, I'm sorry,
(05:53):
not this January, but the next January, first of twenty
twenty seven. Now I found that interesting because of course
they don't use the term illegal alien. They use the term,
you know, undocumented immigrants or individuals regardless of immigration status.
They use, you know, they use something like that all
(06:14):
the time. Well, a federal law p rwr A, signed
in nineteen ninety six, generally speaking, bars undocumented immigrants illegal
aliens from almost all federal Medicaid benefits except for emergency services.
So were you not going to violate federal law? I
(06:39):
don't know. It'll be tested, I hope. So the governor's
office now has to come up with why am I
doing this? Well, it's because of You're you gonna take
any guesses? Come on, you can do this. It's not
that hard. I'll even give you. It's really because of
(07:00):
two reasons, but I'll give you credit for either one.
Donald Trump and his trade policies. Quote. Trump's pendulum swings
(07:22):
on tariffs have slowed the economy and we can state
revenues by staggering sixteen billion dollars. Well, now, wait a minute,
the Trump tariffs have generated sixteen billion dollars in additional
revenue nationally, actually reducing the federal budget deficits a little bit.
(07:48):
But he continued, or I should say, his office continued
to be specific, the state to state, California must take
difficult but necessary steps to ensure fiscals to build and
preserve the long time, long term viability of medical for
all Californians. Now, this y'all, who's been governor since twenty nineteen.
(08:10):
He survived the recall election in twenty twenty one. He
is constantly criticized over homelessness. I saw a great ex
post yesterday. Somebody had asked one of the AI apps
how long has Gavin Newsom been trying to solve homelessness?
(08:30):
And it was like for twenty some years. So, yeah,
he's going to face criticism over homelessness when it's one
of the worst states for homelessness. But again, like Colorado,
so despite being seen and he is seen as a
leading figure in the Democrat Party and a potential presidential candidate,
(08:52):
Newsom's failing to attack the support of Democrat voters who
rank him behind several others in popularity. In that kind
of interesting, I wonder why now let's think about Colorado,
because there's a direct parallel here. Since Colorado began expanding
medicaid access to illegal aliens. I remember we did the
(09:14):
cover All Colorado program. That was House Bill twenty two,
twelve eighty nine. It became effective January one of this year.
So it's only been in effect since January one, But
since then the state has incurred amazingly significant additional costs.
Now that what did that bill do? That bill extended
medicaid coverage low income children and pregnant women, regardless of
(09:38):
their immigration status. So initially, I remember this is this
is a bill from twenty twenty two. When the bill
was passed, Colorado projected the program would cover about thirty
six hundred people at a cost of thirty four million dollars,
and all they'd have to do is just take Now,
remember we had a one point five billion dollar budget
(10:00):
this year. We have a shortfall. They had to make
it up. Well. In twenty twenty two, they estimated that
expanding medicaid to illegal aliens would add another thirty six
hundred people, generally about thirty six hundred, and it would
cost thirty four million dollars. Of the thirty four million dollars.
They'd take nineteen million dollars from the current Medicaid allocation
(10:23):
that we get. Plus they take fifteen million dollars from
the state's general fund. Well, that was in twenty twenty two.
Now we're in twenty twenty five. It took effect January one.
As of earlier this year, enrollment already exceeded expectations. Now,
remember the initial expectation was about what three thousand, six
(10:46):
hundred people. Well guess what we were at. More than
fourteen thousand people have enrolled. Projections suggested by the end
of the year that could exceed fifteen thousand. The total
costs for the program i AM in the fiscal years
now estimated ACT Member's gonna be thirty four million. No,
(11:07):
it's fifty one million, and they had to take thirty
nine million from the state's general fund. So when you
if you're low income, you're on a fixed income, or
you are you know, whatever you're doing, you're paying some
sort of you know, income taxes, or you're paying some
you know, state sales tax or whatever you're you're you're
(11:30):
you're you're paying for this. I know sucks to be you,
doesn't it. It sucks to be all of us in Colorado.
So that revised cost of fifty one million dollars, that's
a fifty percent increase over the initial thirty four million
dollar projection, equating to an additional seventeen million dollars in
(11:52):
cost for just the first year of implementation. And checks calendar. Oh,
it's only the middle of May. We're not even halfway
through the calendar year, and we're already expected. Now remember
that number. They are expecting, expecting the projected enrollment to
(12:14):
exceed fifteen thousand participants. Let's come back and revisit this. Oh,
I don't know, maybe in October and November we get
kind of into the fourth quarter of the year and
let's see where the enrollment is then. So you get
a spike in costs. They attribute that to higher than
(12:35):
expected enrollment. Who could have seen that coming? And that's
because of Oh, you're an El Paso you're at the
detention center and you're being asked you remember when CBP
was just acting as a travel agent and a babysitter.
Where would you like to go? Well, you know, if
you go to Colorado. They got a new program that
(12:55):
just started this year. Why go to Colorado? You can
get on Medicaid. You'll get free health care paid for
by the state, by the taxpayers of the state of Colorado.
And I would just remind people of listening to me
out of state too. You're paying for it also, because
this is a medicaid program, so some of that money's
coming from the federal government. So we had an influx
(13:17):
of illegal aliens. We got what forty two thousand or
more illegal aliens from the southern border. Now there's a
sub report just to give you an additional context Axios Denver.
They wrote that the cost for the program has spiked
(13:39):
by more than six hundred percent compared to an earlier
discretionary spending estimate of two million dollars. Now, I think
that figure probably reflects broader budgetary impacts rather than direct
medicaid costs. So just adding all of this, the influx
(14:01):
of the forty two thousand plus illegal aliens in the state, Yeah,
a six hundred increase in discretionary spending estimate of two
million dollars six percent of that, we're on the same
trajectory as California, whether it's the clean energy bull crap
(14:23):
or it's expanding Medicaid. Now, I want you to just
think about this. In the last couple of minutes, we
have a thirty seven thirty nine I've lost count trillion
dollar debt in this country. If we keep doing this
kind of stuff, there's no way that we can. I mean,
(14:47):
we would have to have uh, I'm just pulling a
number out of my butt. We'd have to have what
ten percent annual GDP growth. We'd have to like five
times what we are now, six times what we are
now in order to get enough revenue. So I think
technically we're already bankrupt because I don't think I know,
(15:09):
we could sell off all the assets that this that
make up this country, or we could just confiscate all
the wealth of this country and pay that debt off.
Or we could do something like, you know, we could
mint the uh we can meant just to be safe.
This meant forty one trillion dollar coins, and then let's
(15:30):
take those coins. I don't care what you make them
out of them. You can make them out of you know,
even with the price of gold right now exceeding three
thousand dollars an ounce, just make them out of gold
on one one ounce, you know, coin of pure go
go you know point ninety nine nine percent gold and
put on there that it's valued at we valued at
(15:52):
a trillion dollars, and we'll make forty of them. Now
I think currently Japan's one of the largest holders of
our debt, of our treasuries, of our bonds. Well, what
we'll do is we'll send sCOD Besent over to Tokyo
and we'll send them with one of those coins and say, here,
we want to buy back a trillion dollars of our debt.
(16:15):
Here's here's the coin. We're gonna pay for it with this.
What do you think the Japanese would say? Yeah, yeah,
well I can't say that on there, but yeah, that's
exactly what they'd say. I don't I don't know if
I if I knew how to speak Japanese, i'd say
in Japanese because I supposed like you get by with him,
but it starts with an F and ends with a
U and uh, yeah, it's two words. I think that's
(16:36):
what the Japanese would tell us. Oh, we can go
to China. China. You know, we're negotiation to China right now.
We could take you know, whatever whatever they owe or
I mean, whatever they own in our debt. We could
take a couple of those trillion dollar coins and take
it to Beijing and say, hey, hey, hey ging Ping,
come here, Hey Buco, come here. We wanna you know,
(16:59):
you know, how do you know when you pay off
your mortgage. Well, we'd have a ceremony when Beijing and
we'd pay off our give them a couple of coins.
You're kind of kind of like we did with the
Indians when we when we took over at Manhattan. Get
me some trinkets. Don't cry, there's no reason to cry.
It's all going to be fine, Michael. Our anatomy.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Reflects off the rounded part, the front part of the
bowl and projects it up onto the underside of the seat,
therefore leaving an incredible mess. Sorry, we can't do anything
about the way our anatomy is structured, and I'm certainly
not going to change into a meal.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Bye, thank you, sweetheart. Now I'm curious about it is?
So then do you really lean forward? Or is that
why we get the hovering motion? Oh okay, well you're
just now, you're just now thinking about the anatomy and the.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I figured grandage pull things down. As soon as liquid
gets poured out, it goes down. So I didn't really
wait a minute, think that it would get you.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Never as did you never as a ten or twelve
year old and you were out with other ten or
twelve year old see who could pee the furthest Oh
yeah sure, yeah, okay, well then you know that the
leak can be. We can be a lot more directional
until we get to be until you get to be
my age. It never looks up, that poor little thing,
(18:47):
and then.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's just like who but yeah, I mean there angled
more upwards.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Well no, I think they're just more horizontal. Horizontal, yeah, yeah,
And I think that must be why we now get
the hovering.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
See now you lean forward, so then that would go
down right.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And now I'm speculating, then why is there no mess
at home?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Because if the same anatomy is at home versus out
at a restaurant, well that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Gets to the theory of the commons, because at home
it's yours, so you angle a little bit better, you
angle or you I mean that you wipe it up.
Now I have a habit because I have I have
a a spouse who is a home hygienist. If I
could describe her that way, we we live in a
(19:45):
sterile environment hospital. You live in the hospital, so whenever
I take a whiz, I observe, and sometimes I'll reach
over and take a piece of toilet paper and I
will wipe the rim just so I don't get marry
(20:07):
you guys just right, can't you can't? You ain't any
better than Yeah. Now I'm confused about this text message though,
uh seven seven four seven from Susan Mike with an
exclamation point. By the way, if you think that because
you don't have to clean it, then you don't care.
(20:28):
You're just an a hole.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I think what that like the comments people, So if
you are out and about and if you think that
you don't have to clean it, then you are the
a hole for thinks and.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Think I can forget what I was thinking. I couldn't
forget what I was thinking about. Think about that sentence,
I couldn't forget what I was thinking about. Actually, Susan,
if that's the pression you've got, let me dissuade you
from that belief, because I've got just enough OCD that
(21:11):
even when I'm in a public restroom, one's got to
be a clean public restroom. You're the best place to
stop and pee on the road. Trip. Actually the best
place stop and pee or poop either way, when you're
in your car, you're out and about hospitals. Hospitals have
the perfect restroom and they get that super toilet whosh. Yes,
(21:35):
so you have to worry about any residents jump. I mean,
it's super suction. If you're not careful, you could end
up in the sewer system. You got to be really careful.
So when I'm out in public, if I don't have
a readily available hospital, always look for the H signs
because H really means p here. You know that you
(21:55):
can just go there to peet. Don't trust me take
my advice on that one. It is very it's a
very good place to be. Kevin mckinn oh, I'm gonna
do one more text message zero four three three. I'm
(22:17):
not sure why I listened to you. Every morning I
start getting positive thinking, I get I start getting positive
thinking things are turning around and getting better. Then I
listened to you, and I realize just what kind of
a mess we are in. You are the opposite of
a therapist. A therapist is supposed to make you feel better.
(22:39):
All you do is put the goobers in depression. Thanks Mike, well,
Mike from another Mike, I ain't no therapist, not trying
to be one. I'm a realist. I live in Realville.
Plus Scott's talking big pharma. Yeah, that's right, and I
got I was talking big pharma. And so if you
(23:01):
need and I depressant, I can recommend the doctor and
we can get you on some medication, or no in
Colorado will just put you on psilocybin. We'll just get
you some magic mushrooms and everything will be fine. I
should do this program one day on magic mushrooms and
see what happens. Might be better. Who knows in all
(23:21):
seriousness about that text message. This is why we do
things like talk about stupidity, like women being and women's restrooms,
which I never knew. I didn't know that until today,
until Dragon from his personal experience and the many of
you telling your personal experience from your jobs, I did
not know that the women's restrooms were the dirtiest. I
(23:45):
always thought they were the cleanest. And that's only based
on my personal experience using predominantly the women's restroom in
the basement of this building, because the men's restroom is
and I think that's I think you're right dragon. I
think the women's restroom the basement here is cleaner simply
because nobody knows it's there.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Now it's me and now you and who you over there?
They know too.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You think you think they know? I mean, yeah, all right,
but they can't. But but they don't have a key card.
I don't think you need a key card to get
the basement. Oh yeah, you do? You in the basement. Well,
oh you mean once the building's open, right, yeah, that's right,
truck now so the building, So the buildings open, so yeah,
you can take the elevator down to the basement. So
(24:33):
not the one that's right in front of you, not
the you gotta look to your left, don't go into Well,
you can't get in the garage. Don't you need a
key card to get in the garage? Okay, yeah, just
just just look. You'll you'll find it. You'll find it.
So if you can't find a hospital, there's always iHeart
Media to take your whiz. I always go to iHeart Media.
(25:02):
Oh it's tap. So this this comes from the idea
that who could have possibly imagined that I read this
story yesterday and I thought to myself, seriously, and I'm
supposed to be shocked. I'm supposed to be surprised, and
(25:24):
has to do with wind and solar it turns out,
And don't choke on your morning coffee or whatever you're
doing right now. But you know, all those thousands we
talked before about how the wind turbines and for that matter,
of solar panels too, they all need inverters. So whatever
(25:47):
power is generated by the wind or the sun, you
need an inverter so you can transfer that energy into
electricity onto the grid. Well, it turns out that all
those thousands of power inverters that are indeed made with
slave labor that we import from the Chinese Communist Party
(26:08):
could are you ready, actually be a security risk? Now,
I one, I am surprised, and I am shocked that
the Chinese Communist Party would engage in such a nefarious activity,
But apparently they do. Next thing, you know, we're going
to find out that China has I don't know, been
stealing patented technology from some of our tech companies, or
(26:32):
maybe even from our own defense industry. Now when I
hear that, then I'll be truly shocked. Oh wait a minute,
never mind, I got carried away there London yesterday reuters.
US energy officials are reassessing the risk posed by Chinese
made devices that play a critical role in renewable energy
(26:55):
infrastructure after unexplained communication equal whipment was found inside some
of them. According to two people familiar with the matter,
power inverters, which are predominantly produced in China, are used
throughout the world to connect solar panels and wind turbines
to electricity grids, but they're also found in batteries, heat pumps,
(27:19):
and EV chargers. Now. While inverters Reuter's right are built
to allow remote access for updates and maintenance, the utility
companies that use them typically install firewalls to prevent direct
communication back to China. However, I would have used the
(27:39):
word but however, rights routers rogue communication devices not listed
in product product documents have been found in Chinese solar
power inverters by US experts who stripped down equipment hooked
up to grids to check for security issues over the
(28:00):
past nine months. See we just gave we just had
a baby here. Just nine months later we discover it.
Undocumented communication devices, including cellular radios, have also been found
in some batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers. Reuters was unable
to determine how many solar power inverters and batteries they
these people have actually looked at. But the road components
(28:21):
provide additional undocumented communication channels that allow firewalls to be
circumvented remotely, with potentially catastrophic consequences. According to these two experts,
both did not want to be named because well, they
didn't have permission to talk to the media. Mike Rogers,
(28:43):
former director of the NSA, said quote, we know that
China believes there's value in placing at least some elements
of our core infrastructure at risk of destruction or disruption.
I think that the Chinese are in part hoping that
the widespread use of inverters limits the options of the
West has to deal with this security issue. Now. The
Chinese embassy decided to chime in and said quote, we
(29:07):
oppose the generalization of the concept of national security distorting
and smearing China's infrastructure achievements. Well, screw you, uh, routers
didn't write that, I did. Using the road communication devices
to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely or changing
their settings could destabilize power grids. Damage infrastructure and trigger
(29:33):
widespread blackouts, you know, because I gotta take a break here.
Let me just say this seems to me they have
planted in the inverters unbeknownst to us until these experts
discovered them, a somewhat like explosive device when it comes
time to just kind of, you know, screw up the
(29:55):
grid and stop the power from flowing to your home
or to your business or to I don't know, the
Pentagon or something. Eh, we'll just flip the switch. From
here in Beijing.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
You would be very surprised to know how many Chinese
radios are used in the telecommunications system, particularly the cellular system,
and the efforts that the United States government is going
through to have all of those Chinese radios removed from
(30:26):
the network.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You would be surprised. Mike.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I've been trying to teach my four year old an
eight year old how to aim for years.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Please help, boys, I'm assuming there's so many paths I
can go down here.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I'm not sure which way to go. It's simple, put
a ceial in the bowl.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
That's brilliant, because we naturally want to hit something, because
we are shooting something, so we want to hit something,
So you throw a little cheerio in there.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
They will follow along and try and drown that little
cheerio until the cheerio gets back toward the edge and
it's not going to climb up the wall. The cheerio
is not going to climb up the wall. No, I'll
just saying that, you know it is just just be
aware that during the training of aiming, you're going to
(31:26):
have misfires. Yes, yes, I don't have time for the
I don't have time for even part of this video.
So we'll we'll say, you know what, dragon, I don't
have time to do anything at this point, so we'll
do what I normally do when I reach this stage
and I can't start what I wanted to start, text messages. Yes,
(31:55):
my wife graduated in home economics. In the second year
of our forty one year marriage. She informed me that
I should begin to clean our bathrooms tub and counter sides,
as well as the seat and toilet rims when I've
completed my urination the bathroom's tub urination. Okay, well, let
me continue. As an alternative, I choose to sit when
(32:19):
I pee. It's more comfortable and complete. Once I tucked
in under the seat fifty two years later, my bathrooms
are sanitary sanctuaries. Dragon and I both agree that if
men get up in the middle of the night, and
particularly when you have early morning jobs like we do,
do not turn the light on. My only advice is,
(32:40):
if you're going to sit and pee in the middle
of the night, make sure the toilet lid cover is up.
It's so much easy.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
You don't have to turn the light on, because if
you have, if it's midnight, you got to turn the
light on. Stand there, you've or woken yourself up, turn
the light off and you're walking back.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yes, I can, but I can say from experience that
if you pop down thinking you're just gonna PLoP down
and the cheeks are gonna just like you know, it's
gonna be comfortable, and that seat cover is down, you're
gonna PLoP down and crack your ass. What are you
gonna do? All right? The video I wanted to play
(33:18):
coming up next,
Michael and Dragon. It's called tragedy of the commons. When
it's not your bathroom, you don't treat it nicely. When
it's yours, you do treat it nicely.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's why women go hogwild on a woman's restroom in
a public place. Okay, yes, sayah clean the l pass
sale restaurant in Santa Barbara when I was very much younger,
very famous restaurant, and I figured out why the ladies
(00:30):
restroom is nasty. It's nasty because they don't give up,
you know what, because they don't have to clean it
and they're sick and tired of cleaning.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay, so now we've got the why. Kathleen and that
goober uh huh explained to us why uh huh. I
want to know the how well, I'm gonna draw you
a picture or something. I want them to. I want
them to in an FCC compliant way to tell us
(01:07):
how so ladies grab ankles and just let her rip. Ladies,
just tell us how it is when it's the what
was the commons? The theory of the commons? Right, Yeah,
you don't have to clean it. You don't have to,
so you don't care. Okay, Well, so that. So that
means you do what when you go in there, you
(01:27):
just go off and like do a sprinkler. I mean, man,
that's really good. Do that again. I think you've got to.
You have a new career. You need sound effects on
this program. Ah, you'll never get that one from me.
(01:49):
As somebody else on the text line admitted they can't
roll their rs either, and they've been trying since they
were kids. You know who says he can't do it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
He can't do it with the last name of Rodriguez, Rodriguez,
he can't.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
He can't roll his ars. Huh, Well, maybe maybe he's
a white Hispanic. Maybe he's like that guy down on
floor that killed or you'll beat up what was that? See?
I remember that game? You know, white Hispanic. Okay, let's
do another cal Let's do a different kind of California
Colorado comparison, because, uh what you maybe you're interested, maybe
(02:27):
you're not. I don't care. I'm gonna tell you anyway.
What got me interested in this is Newsom's been doing
a series of things, like on the on the energy stuff.
The California Air Resources Board started reporting out these reports,
and of course that shows up in my show prep
(02:48):
and I started doing, oh, well, how does that apply
to Colorado? And I see always the same, the exact thing.
It's like we're on a parallel track. Well, Newsom did
something else, and I want to tell you about Newsom,
and on this one, I have some specifics about the
same things happening here. And the dumbass Democrats, particularly Jared
(03:12):
poul Well for that, not particularly, They're all dumbasses, are
not paying attention, and you and I are going to
get socked with it eventually. So Newsom unveiled a proposal. Now, really,
this is a state, it's a sanctuary state. They wanted
all these illegal aliens to come in to California, primarily,
(03:35):
I think because they wanted to preserve as many congressional
seats as they could. They were losing population and they
needed to keep those seats to keep their influence in Congress.
So come on down, come to California, and let us
entice you to come to California, because will allow you,
even if you're an illegal alien, will allow you to
(03:58):
enroll in the states Medicaid program, which in California is
called medical Well, Newsom's that's what they did. And then
they realized Holy thesis. Batman, Uh, this is going to
cost us more than we could possibly ever pay. So
(04:19):
now Newsom has backtracked and he has decided that he's
put forth a proposal to freeze new illegal alien adult
enrollments in medical Now the freeze would apply to new
adult applicants over the age of nineteen, but it won't
remove current enrollies from the program. So the bathtub is flooding,
(04:45):
So he wants to keep the water level at just
at the top of the lip of the bathtub, but
he wants to turn the faucet off. In addition to
turning the faucet off, he's proposed a one hundred dollars
monthly premium for medical participants nineteen and older with and
(05:09):
I cannot believe this, but these are the words that
he uses. He wants to cap their premium at one
hundred dollars a month. If you're over the age of
nineteen and you have quote unsatisfactory immigration status. What the
(05:30):
hell does that mean? Well, that category includes individuals whose
immigration status disqualifies them from federally funded medicaid. So that's
going to encompass both illegal aliens and those with lawful status.
And that premium would take effect this coming. No, I'm sorry,
(05:53):
not this January, but the next January, first of twenty
twenty seven. Now I found that interesting because of course
they don't use the term illegal alien. They use the term,
you know, undocumented immigrants or individuals regardless of immigration status.
They use, you know, they use something like that all
(06:14):
the time. Well, a federal law p rwr A, signed
in nineteen ninety six, generally speaking, bars undocumented immigrants illegal
aliens from almost all federal Medicaid benefits except for emergency services.
So were you not going to violate federal law? I
(06:39):
don't know. It'll be tested, I hope. So the governor's
office now has to come up with why am I
doing this? Well, it's because of You're you gonna take
any guesses? Come on, you can do this. It's not
that hard. I'll even give you. It's really because of
(07:00):
two reasons, but I'll give you credit for either one.
Donald Trump and his trade policies. Quote. Trump's pendulum swings
(07:22):
on tariffs have slowed the economy and we can state
revenues by staggering sixteen billion dollars. Well, now, wait a minute,
the Trump tariffs have generated sixteen billion dollars in additional
revenue nationally, actually reducing the federal budget deficits a little bit.
(07:48):
But he continued, or I should say, his office continued
to be specific, the state to state, California must take
difficult but necessary steps to ensure fiscals to build and
preserve the long time, long term viability of medical for
all Californians. Now, this y'all, who's been governor since twenty nineteen.
(08:10):
He survived the recall election in twenty twenty one. He
is constantly criticized over homelessness. I saw a great ex
post yesterday. Somebody had asked one of the AI apps
how long has Gavin Newsom been trying to solve homelessness?
(08:30):
And it was like for twenty some years. So, yeah,
he's going to face criticism over homelessness when it's one
of the worst states for homelessness. But again, like Colorado,
so despite being seen and he is seen as a
leading figure in the Democrat Party and a potential presidential candidate,
(08:52):
Newsom's failing to attack the support of Democrat voters who
rank him behind several others in popularity. In that kind
of interesting, I wonder why now let's think about Colorado,
because there's a direct parallel here. Since Colorado began expanding
medicaid access to illegal aliens. I remember we did the
(09:14):
cover All Colorado program. That was House Bill twenty two,
twelve eighty nine. It became effective January one of this year.
So it's only been in effect since January one, But
since then the state has incurred amazingly significant additional costs.
Now that what did that bill do? That bill extended
medicaid coverage low income children and pregnant women, regardless of
(09:38):
their immigration status. So initially, I remember this is this
is a bill from twenty twenty two. When the bill
was passed, Colorado projected the program would cover about thirty
six hundred people at a cost of thirty four million dollars,
and all they'd have to do is just take Now,
remember we had a one point five billion dollar budget
(10:00):
this year. We have a shortfall. They had to make
it up. Well. In twenty twenty two, they estimated that
expanding medicaid to illegal aliens would add another thirty six
hundred people, generally about thirty six hundred, and it would
cost thirty four million dollars. Of the thirty four million dollars.
They'd take nineteen million dollars from the current Medicaid allocation
(10:23):
that we get. Plus they take fifteen million dollars from
the state's general fund. Well, that was in twenty twenty two.
Now we're in twenty twenty five. It took effect January one.
As of earlier this year, enrollment already exceeded expectations. Now,
remember the initial expectation was about what three thousand, six
(10:46):
hundred people. Well guess what we were at. More than
fourteen thousand people have enrolled. Projections suggested by the end
of the year that could exceed fifteen thousand. The total
costs for the program i AM in the fiscal years
now estimated ACT Member's gonna be thirty four million. No,
(11:07):
it's fifty one million, and they had to take thirty
nine million from the state's general fund. So when you
if you're low income, you're on a fixed income, or
you are you know, whatever you're doing, you're paying some
sort of you know, income taxes, or you're paying some
you know, state sales tax or whatever you're you're you're
(11:30):
you're you're paying for this. I know sucks to be you,
doesn't it. It sucks to be all of us in Colorado.
So that revised cost of fifty one million dollars, that's
a fifty percent increase over the initial thirty four million
dollar projection, equating to an additional seventeen million dollars in
(11:52):
cost for just the first year of implementation. And checks calendar. Oh,
it's only the middle of May. We're not even halfway
through the calendar year, and we're already expected. Now remember
that number. They are expecting, expecting the projected enrollment to
(12:14):
exceed fifteen thousand participants. Let's come back and revisit this. Oh,
I don't know, maybe in October and November we get
kind of into the fourth quarter of the year and
let's see where the enrollment is then. So you get
a spike in costs. They attribute that to higher than
(12:35):
expected enrollment. Who could have seen that coming? And that's
because of Oh, you're an El Paso you're at the
detention center and you're being asked you remember when CBP
was just acting as a travel agent and a babysitter.
Where would you like to go? Well, you know, if
you go to Colorado. They got a new program that
(12:55):
just started this year. Why go to Colorado? You can
get on Medicaid. You'll get free health care paid for
by the state, by the taxpayers of the state of Colorado.
And I would just remind people of listening to me
out of state too. You're paying for it also, because
this is a medicaid program, so some of that money's
coming from the federal government. So we had an influx
(13:17):
of illegal aliens. We got what forty two thousand or
more illegal aliens from the southern border. Now there's a
sub report just to give you an additional context Axios Denver.
They wrote that the cost for the program has spiked
(13:39):
by more than six hundred percent compared to an earlier
discretionary spending estimate of two million dollars. Now, I think
that figure probably reflects broader budgetary impacts rather than direct
medicaid costs. So just adding all of this, the influx
(14:01):
of the forty two thousand plus illegal aliens in the state, Yeah,
a six hundred increase in discretionary spending estimate of two
million dollars six percent of that, we're on the same
trajectory as California, whether it's the clean energy bull crap
(14:23):
or it's expanding Medicaid. Now, I want you to just
think about this. In the last couple of minutes, we
have a thirty seven thirty nine I've lost count trillion
dollar debt in this country. If we keep doing this
kind of stuff, there's no way that we can. I mean,
(14:47):
we would have to have uh, I'm just pulling a
number out of my butt. We'd have to have what
ten percent annual GDP growth. We'd have to like five
times what we are now, six times what we are
now in order to get enough revenue. So I think
technically we're already bankrupt because I don't think I know,
(15:09):
we could sell off all the assets that this that
make up this country, or we could just confiscate all
the wealth of this country and pay that debt off.
Or we could do something like, you know, we could
mint the uh we can meant just to be safe.
This meant forty one trillion dollar coins, and then let's
(15:30):
take those coins. I don't care what you make them
out of them. You can make them out of you know,
even with the price of gold right now exceeding three
thousand dollars an ounce, just make them out of gold
on one one ounce, you know, coin of pure go
go you know point ninety nine nine percent gold and
put on there that it's valued at we valued at
(15:52):
a trillion dollars, and we'll make forty of them. Now
I think currently Japan's one of the largest holders of
our debt, of our treasuries, of our bonds. Well, what
we'll do is we'll send sCOD Besent over to Tokyo
and we'll send them with one of those coins and say, here,
we want to buy back a trillion dollars of our debt.
(16:15):
Here's here's the coin. We're gonna pay for it with this.
What do you think the Japanese would say? Yeah, yeah,
well I can't say that on there, but yeah, that's
exactly what they'd say. I don't I don't know if
I if I knew how to speak Japanese, i'd say
in Japanese because I supposed like you get by with him,
but it starts with an F and ends with a
U and uh, yeah, it's two words. I think that's
(16:36):
what the Japanese would tell us. Oh, we can go
to China. China. You know, we're negotiation to China right now.
We could take you know, whatever whatever they owe or
I mean, whatever they own in our debt. We could
take a couple of those trillion dollar coins and take
it to Beijing and say, hey, hey, hey ging Ping,
come here, Hey Buco, come here. We wanna you know,
(16:59):
you know, how do you know when you pay off
your mortgage. Well, we'd have a ceremony when Beijing and
we'd pay off our give them a couple of coins.
You're kind of kind of like we did with the
Indians when we when we took over at Manhattan. Get
me some trinkets. Don't cry, there's no reason to cry.
It's all going to be fine, Michael. Our anatomy.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Reflects off the rounded part, the front part of the
bowl and projects it up onto the underside of the seat,
therefore leaving an incredible mess. Sorry, we can't do anything
about the way our anatomy is structured, and I'm certainly
not going to change into a meal.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Bye, thank you, sweetheart. Now I'm curious about it is?
So then do you really lean forward? Or is that
why we get the hovering motion? Oh okay, well you're
just now, you're just now thinking about the anatomy and the.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I figured grandage pull things down. As soon as liquid
gets poured out, it goes down. So I didn't really
wait a minute, think that it would get you.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Never as did you never as a ten or twelve
year old and you were out with other ten or
twelve year old see who could pee the furthest Oh
yeah sure, yeah, okay, well then you know that the
leak can be. We can be a lot more directional
until we get to be until you get to be
my age. It never looks up, that poor little thing,
(18:47):
and then.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's just like who but yeah, I mean there angled
more upwards.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Well no, I think they're just more horizontal. Horizontal, yeah, yeah,
And I think that must be why we now get
the hovering.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
See now you lean forward, so then that would go
down right.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And now I'm speculating, then why is there no mess
at home?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Because if the same anatomy is at home versus out
at a restaurant, well that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Gets to the theory of the commons, because at home
it's yours, so you angle a little bit better, you
angle or you I mean that you wipe it up.
Now I have a habit because I have I have
a a spouse who is a home hygienist. If I
could describe her that way, we we live in a
(19:45):
sterile environment hospital. You live in the hospital, so whenever
I take a whiz, I observe, and sometimes I'll reach
over and take a piece of toilet paper and I
will wipe the rim just so I don't get marry
(20:07):
you guys just right, can't you can't? You ain't any
better than Yeah. Now I'm confused about this text message though,
uh seven seven four seven from Susan Mike with an
exclamation point. By the way, if you think that because
you don't have to clean it, then you don't care.
(20:28):
You're just an a hole.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I think what that like the comments people, So if
you are out and about and if you think that
you don't have to clean it, then you are the
a hole for thinks and.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Think I can forget what I was thinking. I couldn't
forget what I was thinking about. Think about that sentence,
I couldn't forget what I was thinking about. Actually, Susan,
if that's the pression you've got, let me dissuade you
from that belief, because I've got just enough OCD that
(21:11):
even when I'm in a public restroom, one's got to
be a clean public restroom. You're the best place to
stop and pee on the road. Trip. Actually the best
place stop and pee or poop either way, when you're
in your car, you're out and about hospitals. Hospitals have
the perfect restroom and they get that super toilet whosh. Yes,
(21:35):
so you have to worry about any residents jump. I mean,
it's super suction. If you're not careful, you could end
up in the sewer system. You got to be really careful.
So when I'm out in public, if I don't have
a readily available hospital, always look for the H signs
because H really means p here. You know that you
(21:55):
can just go there to peet. Don't trust me take
my advice on that one. It is very it's a
very good place to be. Kevin mckinn oh, I'm gonna
do one more text message zero four three three. I'm
(22:17):
not sure why I listened to you. Every morning I
start getting positive thinking, I get I start getting positive
thinking things are turning around and getting better. Then I
listened to you, and I realize just what kind of
a mess we are in. You are the opposite of
a therapist. A therapist is supposed to make you feel better.
(22:39):
All you do is put the goobers in depression. Thanks Mike, well,
Mike from another Mike, I ain't no therapist, not trying
to be one. I'm a realist. I live in Realville.
Plus Scott's talking big pharma. Yeah, that's right, and I
got I was talking big pharma. And so if you
(23:01):
need and I depressant, I can recommend the doctor and
we can get you on some medication, or no in
Colorado will just put you on psilocybin. We'll just get
you some magic mushrooms and everything will be fine. I
should do this program one day on magic mushrooms and
see what happens. Might be better. Who knows in all
(23:21):
seriousness about that text message. This is why we do
things like talk about stupidity, like women being and women's restrooms,
which I never knew. I didn't know that until today,
until Dragon from his personal experience and the many of
you telling your personal experience from your jobs, I did
not know that the women's restrooms were the dirtiest. I
(23:45):
always thought they were the cleanest. And that's only based
on my personal experience using predominantly the women's restroom in
the basement of this building, because the men's restroom is
and I think that's I think you're right dragon. I
think the women's restroom the basement here is cleaner simply
because nobody knows it's there.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Now it's me and now you and who you over there?
They know too.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You think you think they know? I mean, yeah, all right,
but they can't. But but they don't have a key card.
I don't think you need a key card to get
the basement. Oh yeah, you do? You in the basement. Well,
oh you mean once the building's open, right, yeah, that's right,
truck now so the building, So the buildings open, so yeah,
you can take the elevator down to the basement. So
(24:33):
not the one that's right in front of you, not
the you gotta look to your left, don't go into Well,
you can't get in the garage. Don't you need a
key card to get in the garage? Okay, yeah, just
just just look. You'll you'll find it. You'll find it.
So if you can't find a hospital, there's always iHeart
Media to take your whiz. I always go to iHeart Media.
(25:02):
Oh it's tap. So this this comes from the idea
that who could have possibly imagined that I read this
story yesterday and I thought to myself, seriously, and I'm
supposed to be shocked. I'm supposed to be surprised, and
(25:24):
has to do with wind and solar it turns out,
And don't choke on your morning coffee or whatever you're
doing right now. But you know, all those thousands we
talked before about how the wind turbines and for that matter,
of solar panels too, they all need inverters. So whatever
(25:47):
power is generated by the wind or the sun, you
need an inverter so you can transfer that energy into
electricity onto the grid. Well, it turns out that all
those thousands of power inverters that are indeed made with
slave labor that we import from the Chinese Communist Party
(26:08):
could are you ready, actually be a security risk? Now,
I one, I am surprised, and I am shocked that
the Chinese Communist Party would engage in such a nefarious activity,
But apparently they do. Next thing, you know, we're going
to find out that China has I don't know, been
stealing patented technology from some of our tech companies, or
(26:32):
maybe even from our own defense industry. Now when I
hear that, then I'll be truly shocked. Oh wait a minute,
never mind, I got carried away there London yesterday reuters.
US energy officials are reassessing the risk posed by Chinese
made devices that play a critical role in renewable energy
(26:55):
infrastructure after unexplained communication equal whipment was found inside some
of them. According to two people familiar with the matter,
power inverters, which are predominantly produced in China, are used
throughout the world to connect solar panels and wind turbines
to electricity grids, but they're also found in batteries, heat pumps,
(27:19):
and EV chargers. Now. While inverters Reuter's right are built
to allow remote access for updates and maintenance, the utility
companies that use them typically install firewalls to prevent direct
communication back to China. However, I would have used the
(27:39):
word but however, rights routers rogue communication devices not listed
in product product documents have been found in Chinese solar
power inverters by US experts who stripped down equipment hooked
up to grids to check for security issues over the
(28:00):
past nine months. See we just gave we just had
a baby here. Just nine months later we discover it.
Undocumented communication devices, including cellular radios, have also been found
in some batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers. Reuters was unable
to determine how many solar power inverters and batteries they
these people have actually looked at. But the road components
(28:21):
provide additional undocumented communication channels that allow firewalls to be
circumvented remotely, with potentially catastrophic consequences. According to these two experts,
both did not want to be named because well, they
didn't have permission to talk to the media. Mike Rogers,
(28:43):
former director of the NSA, said quote, we know that
China believes there's value in placing at least some elements
of our core infrastructure at risk of destruction or disruption.
I think that the Chinese are in part hoping that
the widespread use of inverters limits the options of the
West has to deal with this security issue. Now. The
Chinese embassy decided to chime in and said quote, we
(29:07):
oppose the generalization of the concept of national security distorting
and smearing China's infrastructure achievements. Well, screw you, uh, routers
didn't write that, I did. Using the road communication devices
to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely or changing
their settings could destabilize power grids. Damage infrastructure and trigger
(29:33):
widespread blackouts, you know, because I gotta take a break here.
Let me just say this seems to me they have
planted in the inverters unbeknownst to us until these experts
discovered them, a somewhat like explosive device when it comes
time to just kind of, you know, screw up the
(29:55):
grid and stop the power from flowing to your home
or to your business or to I don't know, the
Pentagon or something. Eh, we'll just flip the switch. From
here in Beijing.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
You would be very surprised to know how many Chinese
radios are used in the telecommunications system, particularly the cellular system,
and the efforts that the United States government is going
through to have all of those Chinese radios removed from
(30:26):
the network.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You would be surprised. Mike.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I've been trying to teach my four year old an
eight year old how to aim for years.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Please help, boys, I'm assuming there's so many paths I
can go down here.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I'm not sure which way to go. It's simple, put
a ceial in the bowl.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
That's brilliant, because we naturally want to hit something, because
we are shooting something, so we want to hit something,
So you throw a little cheerio in there.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
They will follow along and try and drown that little
cheerio until the cheerio gets back toward the edge and
it's not going to climb up the wall. The cheerio
is not going to climb up the wall. No, I'll
just saying that, you know it is just just be
aware that during the training of aiming, you're going to
(31:26):
have misfires. Yes, yes, I don't have time for the
I don't have time for even part of this video.
So we'll we'll say, you know what, dragon, I don't
have time to do anything at this point, so we'll
do what I normally do when I reach this stage
and I can't start what I wanted to start, text messages. Yes,
(31:55):
my wife graduated in home economics. In the second year
of our forty one year marriage. She informed me that
I should begin to clean our bathrooms tub and counter sides,
as well as the seat and toilet rims when I've
completed my urination the bathroom's tub urination. Okay, well, let
me continue. As an alternative, I choose to sit when
(32:19):
I pee. It's more comfortable and complete. Once I tucked
in under the seat fifty two years later, my bathrooms
are sanitary sanctuaries. Dragon and I both agree that if
men get up in the middle of the night, and
particularly when you have early morning jobs like we do,
do not turn the light on. My only advice is,
(32:40):
if you're going to sit and pee in the middle
of the night, make sure the toilet lid cover is up.
It's so much easy.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
You don't have to turn the light on, because if
you have, if it's midnight, you got to turn the
light on. Stand there, you've or woken yourself up, turn
the light off and you're walking back.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yes, I can, but I can say from experience that
if you pop down thinking you're just gonna PLoP down
and the cheeks are gonna just like you know, it's
gonna be comfortable, and that seat cover is down, you're
gonna PLoP down and crack your ass. What are you
gonna do? All right? The video I wanted to play
(33:18):
