Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy National Coffee Day. Yeh woooooo did you know?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Did I know?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Did you know that coffee can protect the liver against disease?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's probably why I'm so healthy.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Coffee has more benefits than we knew. A new review
published in NANA adds an evidence suggesting drinking coffee regularly
can help protect and restore liver health. Consuming coffees believed
to slow liver diseases progression, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and so on,
because a mix of bioactive compounds, and it has anti
(00:42):
inflammatory effects as well. Coffee also helps balance the gut microbiome.
Is that how you say that?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I don't know. I'm still trying to figure out if
ANANAA is a quarterly publication or if it comes out
monthly monthly?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, yes, also there. Yeah, they're consuming over five cups
coffee daily can increase bad cholesterol levels though, so if
but that's not been the case with you.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
No, my my numbers are really good.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You drink five cups?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh at least I put away like four of these things.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, of course it is probably more like that's closer
to seven or eight. Yeah, yeah, because that's huge.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, this is I think either twenty eight or thirty ounces.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So National Coffee Day today, But there it is.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I don't know about that anti inflammatory thing though, because
you would think i'd be pain free.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, you would think.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Congressman Jim Jordan joining us, Now, are you coffee drinker?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Two cups today? One in the morning for sure, and
then usually one at night with you know, after a
nice meal with a dessert. And it never keeps me
awake at least.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I am at all of people who my father in
law does the same thing, Congressman. He'll drink coffee at
night and they go to bed, and I look, I
drink my fair share of caffeine. Some of it is
Red Bull, some of it is coffee. I start in
the morning with coffee. I'm kind of a kind of
a coffee snob. At the house. I'm kind of bougie.
(02:04):
But I will do that at the house. But I
can't what it is is I can go to bed,
but then I can't stay asleep if I've drank it
too late. If it was like.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
This bucket is on my night stand at night, I
will fill it before I go to bed, and during
the night I'll get up several times and you know,
drink coffee. It'll be going by more.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Shut the front door. You drink it all all night.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yes, not that bad. But I I can drink good,
but I don't drink anything else. I don't know Red
Bull of that stuff. I don't do any of that.
But I gotta have a cup of coffee in the
morning for sure, and then usually one to night.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Well, I know that you are health conscious, congressman. I
mean it's pretty obvious. Anybody who looks at you can
tell that. But I just so you know, as far
as the Red Bull, I am doing the sugar free
Red Bull. When I do, it takes the chemicals much
better for it. Well, the chemical part, no, but yeah,
the sugar part I'm not because one of those is
(02:59):
like drinking candy bar and a half probably or maybe
even two candy bars, like it's like forty sugars ed
it or something silly like that. But yeah, I don't.
I don't drink soda either. Really to speak up, so
it's you know, it's I do have a little bit
of a vice with you know, and it does give
you wings.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I will say, yeah, it give you.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So yeah, sheets to today because it is did you
know is National Coffee Day.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I didn't, but I had my I had. I had
one of those fancy cups this morning though, I got
like the white moch car whatever. You know, you're the
ones that cost like thirty dollars some ridiculous but.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
There's a lot of sugar in those.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I'm surprised too much.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Is that your whole breakfast? No, you're like, do you
even consume any like actual solid food.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
With that or you're just like, yeah, that's there. I
don't normally that's breakfast at also no food with that
this morning?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, sheets is given away free self serve coffee with
any purchase. Uh. This is in Ohio though, and so
you know, if you're if you're in the swamp thing,
I don't know. But then Tim Horton's they're doing free
small coffee with the purchase of a dollar or more today,
So a lot of those. If you're out, if I
don't know, you're probably like no, I mean it's not
like you can just run out, and especially they're in
(04:13):
the swamp, you probably get people bothering the heck out
of you. It's like if people just so you know
that's out there, you know, wow, as far as free stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You always learned something on your show, but they always
always learned something. When we start your show at five o'clock,
I'm like, I'm gonna get you know something you didn't
know today five on Monday.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, I also have it on. Okay, I'm making this
part up good authority, but that you were really excited
about Bad Bunny performing for the time. I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I got admit I didn't know who that was. I
saw that and I'm like, who is that? I didn't
Are you like into it the pop culture that you
knew who was?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Hell? No, I don't know who Bad Bunny is. No,
I you know, I had heard of Bad Funny. He's
actually plays in this in the second Happy Gilmore, the
Newest One.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
He is.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
He is Adam Sandler's caddy in this, which I would
have I would have not known my son. So my
eleven year old son goes, that's Bad Bunny. Like when
we had it on, I go, oh, it's Bad Bunny.
I go, all right, who's Bad Bunny. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You know some concerts how a performer will fly in
on wires, or some of them pop up out of
the trap door in the stage or something. Like that,
if your name is Bunny, if you do not come
out of a top hat, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, well Happy Gilmour, by the way, the Happy
Gilmore too was was funny.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I thought so too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Especially I thought when when Scheffler is in in uh
in the jail and hit your butt down, We're watching
golf and the guy change the channel.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I thought it was good. And then I also thought
where he's like, oh not again, you know he's making fun.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Of Yeah, you knew that joke was coming, and I
thought that was funny too. Then when he's in the jail,
I thought it was even funnier that. Yeah it was.
Is it typical Adam Sandlor movie? I liked it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah. I thought it was really good too. And then
what wasn't good is over the week, and I'm sure
you watched some of the Ryder Cup. That's that was
incredibly disappointing. We got curb stopped Friday and Saturday, and
then you know, yesterday they almost pull off the impossible, right.
I mean it's just like we literally were so close
with that, and I couldn't believe we almost came storming
(06:26):
back being down what it was like insane. We were
just getting killed. So yeah, that was that was a
bit disheartening to watch that. But we you know, we
go singles, we go singles, you know, match head up,
heads up, and man, the USA is always so hard
to beat in those, it seems like, so.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Now it's fun to watch. I enjoyed it. I watched.
I watched a lot of it, not all of it,
but I watched five and then yes, I thought they
were out of it. We got home about five and
we clicked it on. I'm like, I got a chance.
And then of course Hindley. You felt bad for Hindley
because he missed those two. Bertie putts that he had
chances for Birdie on seventeen and eighteen, which would have
wanted for him and maybe given him a chance. Although
(07:08):
I guess Burns Burns tied on is the last the
last match, maybe maybe they wouldn't have got there.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Right right. I just hate that it was Shane Lowry
that got their final half point because that guy was
so irritating to me. And look, I get it, he's
fantastic golfer and all of that, but just the USA
and me watching him, you know, run his mouth him
and Rory, you know, everybody's shirping. And then you know,
as far as I mean, could you believe that Bryce
(07:35):
and d Chambeau and Justin Rose almost like got into it.
I was like, wow, this is crazy, man. So yeah, yeah,
it was pretty nuts.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It's always fun, it's always fun to work.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So since nineteen eighty, there have been fourteen government shutdowns, Congressman,
most of which lasted a few days. The longest one,
of course, in history, was when President Trump was forty five.
When he was twenty eighteen, twenty nine, team that was
thirty four days. Before that, the record was twenty one
days when Clinton was in office, so on and so forth.
(08:07):
So obviously me saying all that is, you know, is
this thing going to happen? Are we going to is
the government going to get shut down? How many times
do we do this a year now? It seems like,
you know, multiple times.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, And I think the country is just like,
come on, well, this is ridiculous. So there's a there's
a people of legislation that I strongly support. Senator Johnson's
been the champion of at the Senate, and it's called
the No Shutdown Act. And what it says, is if
you get to the end of a fiscal year and
you haven't you haven't done the appropriations, you haven't funded
the government, then there's an automatic two week continuing resolution
(08:42):
that kicks in. So right now we we've passed a
seven week one that that is, you know, funding the
government at the levels that I won't agree to before
Democrats agree to Chuck Shum, we're now just taking a
crazy position. But why not just take this off the table,
pass legislation says automatically every two weeks to just continue
at the current level. I think that would makes so
much sense, and then you can just focus in on
(09:03):
what we're supposed to be doing, which is actually writing
the appropriation bills, putting in the appropriate policy with those bills,
funding the government at the at the dollar level that
that the Congress thinks is appropriate, versus this shutdown, showdown
politics game that gets played now it seems like, you know,
every single year. So that's what I hope we do
is pass that bill. We'll see what the centem would
(09:24):
do with it if we passed it, probably the same
thing they would do with the actual cr which we passed,
and of course they did it.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, so it looks like what Wednesday by Wednesday, and
I'm so I get so confused because I saw at first,
you know, Schumer's out there, and now I saw the
headline they did in about face or or whatever with this,
and you know, you always say to yourself when you
see something like that, and I would just have paying
attention because quite frankly, I don't feel like this is
(09:54):
really this is going to be much ado about nothing,
because all of a sudden, at the very end, somehow
they gets figured out, you know what I mean, Like
that we end up getting everything, gets funded, and we
go another stretch before we start this whole thing again.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, I would, yeah, I would encourage your listeners to
take a look at Kim Stossel's piece in the Wall
Street Journal last Thursday kind of lays this out, I
think in a very appropriate way. Second, I do think
we're going to go into a shutdown, and I think
this is kind of ridiculous because Chuck Schumer, he agreed
to fund the government at the current levels back in March,
and he took a lot of heat from the left,
(10:27):
which now controls the Democrat Party, and so now it's
it's the exact same thing. This is the level do
you agree to fund the government at We're going to
continue that, And he says, no, I'm not going to
do it now because he's facing pressure from the left
and Chuck Schumer. He's got to choose between common sense
or AOC. And he's back in March he picked common
sense up on the government at the level I already
(10:47):
agree to, and he did. Now he's picking the AOC
point because he's nervous about AOC running against him in
twenty eight and he's nervous about the left, which is,
as I said, unfortunately now controls the Democrat Party, and
they're all enough about going against President Trump and trying
to get you know, health care for illegal aliens and
all kinds of stupid things they want to try to
get into this into this bill, and it just makes
(11:10):
no sense. So I think we're going to get into
a shutdown and we'll see how it checks out.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Healthcare for illegal aliens has nothing to do, as they say,
with running the government with you know all of that.
It's just they're trying to stick that pork in there, right.
I mean, that's probably the way to say it, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
So yeah, and they're asking for a trillion. The letter
that since the president a trillion more dollars in spending
on top of what they agree to, you know, back
in back in March, it makes no sense. So yeah,
but that's that's where we're headed.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I just I don't know. I'm not sure that
the THEOC is that much of a threat to Schumer,
quite frankly, because you know, it was simply telling the
party you can disagree with everything that I say, but
you know that I am not lying to you, and
then put up you know, all of the video recorded
lies of her. She's as bad as Hillary when it
comes to making up. To go back to her January
sixth stuff, she was afraid of death, she was afraid
(12:02):
she'd be raped. She wasn't even there. I mean, how
ridiculous is that? Is that who you want his leadership?
So I don't see why why Schumer would be thrown.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I would want her more than Chuck. She's prettier.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
See, And that's exactly the problem. Is he worried. Is
he worried that the supporters of the Democrats are so
ridiculous and so frivolous that the fact that she's an
attractive female outweighs his experience and as honesty with them.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, I think it's I think the energy in their
party comes from the radical left. I mean this is
evidence by mom Donnie, who helps to be the guy
who's going to be the next mayor of New York,
our biggest in this great city. That's where the energy
is and she is part of that, that segment of
the of the Democrat Party. And while it may not
(12:49):
be a majority of the Democrat Party, it's it's the energy,
it's the driving force of the party. So I do
think he's a little concerned about that. Now, Chuck Schumer
has been elected in either the House of the Senate
now for for forty some years. I believe he's been
in the Congress. So yeah, it'll be hard to beat.
But but I do think he's a little nervous about
(13:10):
the left and the energy they now have in the
in the party.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
He is on that strong Thurman planet, isn't he.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Never going away, man.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I was hoping on a side note real quick, Congressman.
I was hoping to to maybe see you at Balterson's
thing last week that I was at and a speaker
Bayner was there, and I don't know if you heard
anything about it, but I was kind of I was
open somehow some way you'd be there. But yeah, obviously
(13:39):
I was standing the way it works.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
So yeah, yeah, I was at toys event in DC
a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't able to
what you're talking about the bit in back here in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, it was at Mierfield. Yeah, I was at Mierfield.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah, I wasn't able to. I was not able to
make it. I traveled. We were in Indiana last week,
in our last thursday, doing the event for one of
our colleagues over there. And then I didn't travel every
week help helping colleague. So but now we're in Ohio.
So it's kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Your job is never done, right, as they say, so.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Well, we're always busy, almost as busy as Mark plays
are running that amazing radio.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's awesome. Congressman Jim Jordan, thank you for joining us.
We'll take care see you all right. Try he's so nice.
Now I got to send him a payment. I'm just kidding. Please,
oh my gosh, that was coming out of my mind.
A campaign contribution. That's it. That's better. And please let
me reiterate I was just kidding again, as I was
(14:30):
just saying that, I'm like, I probably shouldn't have even
joked about that.
Happy National Coffee Day. Yeh woooooo did you know?
Speaker 2 (00:11):

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, yes, also there. Yeah, they're consuming over five cups
coffee daily can increase bad cholesterol levels though, so if
but that's not been the case with you.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
No, my my numbers are really good.
Speaker 1 (01:09):

so irritating to me. And look, I get it, he's
fantastic golfer and all of that, but just the USA
and me watching him, you know, run his mouth him
and Rory, you know, everybody's shirping. And then you know,
as far as I mean, could you believe that Bryce
(07:35):
and d Chambeau and Justin Rose almost like got into it.
I was like, wow, this is crazy, man. So yeah, yeah,
it was pretty nuts.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It's always fun, it's always fun to work.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So since nineteen eighty, there have been fourteen government shutdowns, Congressman,
most of which lasted a few days. The longest one,
of course, in history, was when President Trump was forty five.
When he was twenty eighteen, twenty nine, team that was
thirty four days. Before that, the record was twenty one
days when Clinton was in office, so on and so forth.
(08:07):
So obviously me saying all that is, you know, is
this thing going to happen? Are we going to is
the government going to get shut down? How many times
do we do this a year now? It seems like,
you know, multiple times.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, And I think the country is just like,
come on, well, this is ridiculous. So there's a there's
a people of legislation that I strongly support. Senator Johnson's
been the champion of at the Senate, and it's called
the No Shutdown Act. And what it says, is if
you get to the end of a fiscal year and
you haven't you haven't done the appropriations, you haven't funded
the government, then there's an automatic two week continuing resolution
(08:42):
that kicks in. So right now we we've passed a
seven week one that that is, you know, funding the
government at the levels that I won't agree to before
Democrats agree to Chuck Shum, we're now just taking a
crazy position. But why not just take this off the table,
pass legislation says automatically every two weeks to just continue
at the current level. I think that would makes so
much sense, and then you can just focus in on
(09:03):
what we're supposed to be doing, which is actually writing
the appropriation bills, putting in the appropriate policy with those bills,
funding the government at the at the dollar level that
that the Congress thinks is appropriate, versus this shutdown, showdown
politics game that gets played now it seems like, you know,
every single year. So that's what I hope we do
is pass that bill. We'll see what the centem would
(09:24):
do with it if we passed it, probably the same
thing they would do with the actual cr which we passed,
and of course they did it.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, so it looks like what Wednesday by Wednesday, and
I'm so I get so confused because I saw at first,
you know, Schumer's out there, and now I saw the
headline they did in about face or or whatever with this,
and you know, you always say to yourself when you
see something like that, and I would just have paying
attention because quite frankly, I don't feel like this is
(09:54):
really this is going to be much ado about nothing,
because all of a sudden, at the very end, somehow
they gets figured out, you know what I mean, Like
that we end up getting everything, gets funded, and we
go another stretch before we start this whole thing again.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, I would, yeah, I would encourage your listeners to
take a look at Kim Stossel's piece in the Wall
Street Journal last Thursday kind of lays this out, I
think in a very appropriate way. Second, I do think
we're going to go into a shutdown, and I think
this is kind of ridiculous because Chuck Schumer, he agreed
to fund the government at the current levels back in March,
and he took a lot of heat from the left,
(10:27):
which now controls the Democrat Party, and so now it's
it's the exact same thing. This is the level do
you agree to fund the government at We're going to
continue that, And he says, no, I'm not going to
do it now because he's facing pressure from the left
and Chuck Schumer. He's got to choose between common sense
or AOC. And he's back in March he picked common
sense up on the government at the level I already
(10:47):
agree to, and he did. Now he's picking the AOC
point because he's nervous about AOC running against him in
twenty eight and he's nervous about the left, which is,
as I said, unfortunately now controls the Democrat Party, and
they're all enough about going against President Trump and trying
to get you know, health care for illegal aliens and
all kinds of stupid things they want to try to
get into this into this bill, and it just makes
(11:10):
no sense. So I think we're going to get into
a shutdown and we'll see how it checks out.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Healthcare for illegal aliens has nothing to do, as they say,
with running the government with you know all of that.
It's just they're trying to stick that pork in there, right.
I mean, that's probably the way to say it, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
So yeah, and they're asking for a trillion. The letter
that since the president a trillion more dollars in spending
on top of what they agree to, you know, back
in back in March, it makes no sense. So yeah,
but that's that's where we're headed.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I just I don't know. I'm not sure that
the THEOC is that much of a threat to Schumer,
quite frankly, because you know, it was simply telling the
party you can disagree with everything that I say, but
you know that I am not lying to you, and
then put up you know, all of the video recorded
lies of her. She's as bad as Hillary when it
comes to making up. To go back to her January
sixth stuff, she was afraid of death, she was afraid
(12:02):
she'd be raped. She wasn't even there. I mean, how
ridiculous is that? Is that who you want his leadership?
So I don't see why why Schumer would be thrown.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I would want her more than Chuck. She's prettier.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
See, And that's exactly the problem. Is he worried. Is
he worried that the supporters of the Democrats are so
ridiculous and so frivolous that the fact that she's an
attractive female outweighs his experience and as honesty with them.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, I think it's I think the energy in their
party comes from the radical left. I mean this is
evidence by mom Donnie, who helps to be the guy
who's going to be the next mayor of New York,
our biggest in this great city. That's where the energy
is and she is part of that, that segment of
the of the Democrat Party. And while it may not
(12:49):
be a majority of the Democrat Party, it's it's the energy,
it's the driving force of the party. So I do
think he's a little concerned about that. Now, Chuck Schumer
has been elected in either the House of the Senate
now for for forty some years. I believe he's been
in the Congress. So yeah, it'll be hard to beat.
But but I do think he's a little nervous about
(13:10):
the left and the energy they now have in the
in the party.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
He is on that strong Thurman planet, isn't he.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Never going away, man.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I was hoping on a side note real quick, Congressman.
I was hoping to to maybe see you at Balterson's
thing last week that I was at and a speaker
Bayner was there, and I don't know if you heard
anything about it, but I was kind of I was
open somehow some way you'd be there. But yeah, obviously
(13:39):
I was standing the way it works.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
So yeah, yeah, I was at toys event in DC
a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't able to
what you're talking about the bit in back here in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, it was at Mierfield. Yeah, I was at Mierfield.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah, I wasn't able to. I was not able to
make it. I traveled. We were in Indiana last week,
in our last thursday, doing the event for one of
our colleagues over there. And then I didn't travel every
week help helping colleague. So but now we're in Ohio.
So it's kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Your job is never done, right, as they say, so.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Well, we're always busy, almost as busy as Mark plays
are running that amazing radio.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's awesome. Congressman Jim Jordan, thank you for joining us.
We'll take care see you all right. Try he's so nice.
Now I got to send him a payment. I'm just kidding. Please,
oh my gosh, that was coming out of my mind.
A campaign contribution. That's it. That's better. And please let
me reiterate I was just kidding again, as I was
(14:30):
just saying that, I'm like, I probably shouldn't have even
joked about that.
