a pin so you could attach it to your shirt,

was still a feather on one part of it. And
the lady was like, yeah, this still has a feather
on it. You're And I said, oh, well we charge

Got to start charging more of you own the business.
I mean, it's not rocket science.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Chris Rock once said in one of his comedy shows,
minimum wage a nothing except the boss's ways, saying if
I could pay you less, I would.
Speaker 1 (03:19):

That is absolutely accurate.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah. So the government shutdown is looming, as they say
a little over six hours from now, they're predicting it's
going to happen. Will social Security checks go out? Yes,
(03:43):
they're going to continue. What happens if the government shuts down.
It's a whole. This is a six page article on
what's going to happen. There is so much common sense
attached to will this happen if the government shuts down?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know, playing on people's fear.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Is that side of the fence is all about the
government's shut down and what will you do when your
children will won't have any food in the sun won't
come up in the morning. And yeah, that's not it.
Essential services will continue, You'll get your Social Security checks,
the military will continue to protect. It's just it's a
(04:22):
bunch of political negotiation, it's all it is.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You know that King Jeffries is saying Conservatives are in
control of the House, Conservatives are in control of the Senate,
and there is a Republican in the White House. If
this shuts down, it's their fault. Yet you know, they
definitely are not going to take any blame, even though
(04:46):
they're trying to hold a hostage for this. Do you
happen to have that the Vice president?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You do?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Okay, this was just one of the little things he said.
I believe this was earlier today or it was yesterday,
but it was there yesterday or today. Check it out. Now.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
We have to remember they're they're very frustrated. They say
that they're very frustrated about the fact that this negotiation
has not taken place until today. But if you look
at the original, uh, the original thing they did with
this negotiation, it was a one point five trillion dollars
spending package, basically saying to the American people, we want
to give massive amounts of money, hundreds of billions of
dollars to illegal aliens for their health care while Americans
(05:23):
are struggling to pay at their healthcare bills. That was
their initial foray into this negotiation. We thought it was absurd.
We told them it was absurd, and now they come
in here saying that if you don't give us everything
that we that we want, we're going to shut down
the government. We think that's preposterous. That we think it's
totally unacceptable, and we think the American people are going
to suffer because these guys won't do the right thing.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, that's it's jammed into them, going all people are
going to be affected there with medical but jammed in
there are the illegal, right. But then they're going to
they're going to position this as look what the Conservatives
are doing to your medical.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
They're cutting Medicaid. Know, what they are doing is eliminating
access to taxpayer funded healthcare to people who aren't supposed.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
To be here.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 2 (06:11):

fortune on millions upon millions of people who are here
illegally for Medicaid needs. And that's what the Trump administration
is trying to eliminate.

(06:45):
making sure everything's safe.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Remember during COVID when the people making your fast food
burger were considered essential services and get to keep working. Yeah, yeah,

going until they get this worked out.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
