You'll only have your podcast and a lecher from time to time.

For $299, I'll bring you a pizza with sushi. Mmm, lecher.

And for $199, I'll give you a little bit of ice cream.

For all the news, you'll always get it.

Pretty good? Then try the snack time-sushi box at $225 for $299. Or mochi sandwich ice. $8 for $199. That's good for all of you at the price.

Now in your filial. ID, utis filial. Accordingly, the house stands adjourn until noon on Tuesday, next for morning hour debate. Magamike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, shut down Congress once again. You heard it right there.

The next time Congress gets back into session tomorrow. They just don't do any work under Magamike Johnson.

Magamike was panicking because the Senate parliamentarian knocked out the $1 billion funding that

the house was going to give in the reconciliation bill for Donald Trump's golden ballroom. So Magamike shut down the House of Representatives in order to regroup and figure out how

to loot and pillage $1 billion from American taxpayers to now pay for the golden ballroom.

So because this was a reconciliation bill, the magas were trying to do an end run around the 60 vote, closure requirement in the United States Senate. Otherwise it would be subject to a filibuster because they really wanted to get Donald Trump that $1 billion for his golden ballroom. But you see the Senate parliamentarian.

It's this little known position, but has a lot of power when the Senate tries to pass things to reconciliation with the House versus needing the kind of 60 vote marker in order to avoid a filibuster. But the Senate parliamentarian made a ruling that this reconciliation bill cannot have the golden ballroom $1 billion of funding in it.

Here's how it was announced.

Senate parliamentarian just knocked out the provision and the Republican bill to spend $1 billion

on Trump's ballroom per the budget committee Dems. They challenged it and they won the challenge in front of the parliamentarian. While we expect Republicans to change this bill, Senator Merkel, he says, "This bill to appease Trump, Democrats, are prepared to challenge any change to this bill whatsoever. Might as touch networks, chief DC correspondent Scott McFarlane says, "Tough break for Donald

Trump's ballroom." The Senate parliamentarian rules that the $1 billion project would require 60 votes for approval per Senate budget committee Democrats, a very, very steep climb. It cannot pass with 50 as the magas were trying to jam this one in. So what are the maga Republicans doing right now in addition to shutting down Congress,

shutting down the House of Representatives? I mean, you probably like, "Penice, this stage I've who you told us in the last video last week, they shut down Congress." Then you did one, two weeks before this is what maga Mike is doing because he runs the House like the Russian Duma, a rubber stamp for dear leader, Donald Trump.

It's so sickening. But in addition to shutting it down, the maga Republicans over the weekend held something called Rededicate 250, Rededicate 250, where it basically was this kind of right wing kind of phony, Christian nationalism like Jesus Jesus Jesus, but not actually living the values, just like treating Jesus like it was like a football game or something.

And they're like, they bring up these like so-called pastors and these so-called religious leaders. And they're like, "God bless us to keep Donald a ballroom that's golden, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna give him a golden ballroom." I'm serious.

Well, that's my impression right there, right, here is one of these pastors, God wants him to have a ballroom. So as the ballroom has been struck down by a court and by the Senate parliamentarian, here's what's going on. Here play this clip.

It's hard to believe that I would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand. It's extraordinary. He only had to wait 200 years. Then you have Mago Republican Senator Tim Scott, give a speech and he's like, "And

everybody, when I say Jesus, I want to hear you shout, Jesus." And it's like, "Okay, like y'all are covering up the Epstein files.

Like you're covering up child sex trafficking rings, okay?

Donald Trump is like the Mo-- I don't care if you're religious or not religious.

Donald Trump's the most low class, low character immoral sicko that freaking ...

or at least one of them here.

But we can play this clip so you can hear for yourself. Jesus, just Tim Scott, let's play it. Hey y'all, how many of you love Jesus?

I can't hear you, I say, how many of you love Jesus?

Oh yeah. And they bring on Reverend Franklin Graham and Reverend Franklin Graham says, "We need to stop gay marriage. We need to stop the change, gender. We need to stop people from loving people and we need to hate in the name of Jesus.

We need to hate each other." And this is what I'm going to say. This is what Franklin Graham says. It's a Christian nationalism eight rally on the National Mall here, play this clip. America has become morally wrong, completely sick with sin, transgenderism, same sex marriage,

opening women's locker rooms to men are just a tip of the iceberg. Why do we need to re-dedicate ourselves? When God sent the flood and destroyed the earth, it was because man's heart had become so evil and violent. And then use we see unimaginable violence, rapes, murders, mass shootings on YouTube, there's

so much violence, movies, video games are full of violence. We have an insatiable appetite for violence.

And I believe this grieves the heart of God and we're bringing his judgment if we don't

repent as a nation. And then you had another so-called pastor, a maga pastor, Robert Jeffers tells the people gathered that if the founding fathers were around today, they would call themselves Christian Nationalists also, here let's play this clip. These leaders who loved our country and loved our God would be called Christian Nationalists

today. And it is a title they would have gladly embraced. By the way, if being a Christian nationalist means loving Jesus Christ and loving America, count me in. And then you have J.D. Vance, he appeared by a pre-recorded video at this thing and he's

like, "Pray for me, will you? Will you pray for me? I ask you from the bottom of my heart. Pray for me. I need your prayers right now, more than ever."

These people are the biggest con artist in the world. And like you know, J.D. Vance is history, right? In high school, J.D. Vance said that he was gay and then he said he got gay conversion. His name wasn't even J.D. Vance. He was another name and then he said that he's not gay because he got gay conversion.

And then he came out as like a Appalachia, I'm an Appalachia, one of the Appalachia is like from the suburbs of Cincinnati and he was trying to act like, "And I'm an anti-Trumper and Donald Trump is Hitler," is what he would say. And then he became like an anti-gay, like Trump's sick of it. Like this guy's, and then he's involved with three different names, so he goes, "Pray

for me. I'll play this clip." And just as I pray for all of you, I ask for your prayers.

For me, for the president and for the entire cabinet, I always ask people to pray for

wisdom and for courage for their leadership. Pray for wisdom that we know the path God wants us to walk, pray for courage, that we have the ability to walk that path. You'll be in my prayers as I hope I'll be in yours. Make God bless you all.

And Magamai Johnson who shut down the house, he gives a speech and just goes, "And it's time."

We rededicate ourselves and say, "God, God, do we know what you need to do?"

I mean, it's just stop with this stuff and again, if you're religious, if you're not religious, if you're no religion, I want you just to be a good person. And I don't want you to use the Bible or any religion as a pretext to harm people. Like these magas, how dare they use the Bible and religion in order to engage in such sickening, disgusting behavior.

Here's what Magamai says, "Let's play it."

More today, we pray that you grant us that same devotion to these United States. Give us courage, Lord. Make us worthy of all those who devoted and sacrifice their lives so that a government of the people, by the people. Just for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Almighty God, we ask that you hear these solemn petitions. Just as we in the beginning dedicated this land to your most holy name today, here, Lord, in this 250th year of American Independence, we hereby rededicate the United States of America

As one nation under God.

And they bring on Marco Rubio and Marco Rubio is like, before the West in the United States,

history was filled with all of these other civilizations that went nowhere because they didn't

have the right religion. But because we've got the right religion, we are thrive. It's like, "Okay, dude, shut that heck up. You idiot." You're a clown, you're a fraud, you're a phony, nobody's buying your stick.

Here's what Marco, pathetic Marco, he's like, sweaty too, he looks like sweaty and freaking

gross here. Play this clip. It is no coincidence that America from the very beginning has occupied a unique and exceptional place in world history. Before the Christian West, most societies and civilizations, for that matter, thought and stagnant

cycles, the flooding of denial, the return of the reigns, the cycle of the harvest. History for them was a wheel to nowhere, it turned and turned only to end up back where it began. But our faith causes outwards into the litmus darkness of the unknown. It tells us to go forth and preach the gospel to the world as a witness and to all nations onto the ends of the earth.

From that command came America. The next generation, more than any other in history, was shaped by this Christian idea. Before continuing one quick PSA for the Midas Mighty, when it comes to Medicare, most Medicare agents push Medicare advantage plans even when they're not right for you because they make more money doing it.

That's why we strongly recommend you do what thousands.

In our audience have already done, speak with chapter please. They don't just share the amazing benefits of Medicare advantage. They explain the pros and cons of all your Medicare options. Original Medicare, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage and Part D. Chapter supports you in comparing every plan against your specific health care needs because

they want to ensure you have the best coverage for you. One chapter member Jill said her advisor presented options. She didn't even see on the Medicare.gov website. And in many cases, chapter saves people over 1,100 dollars a year by getting them on the right plan.

So, if you're on Medicare or will be soon, dial 82 Medicare and get honest advice from chapter. That's 82 Medicare. It's free and quick. They can review your options in under 20 minutes.

If you're on the right plan already, they'll tell you. If you're not, they can help you save thousands the way they have with thousands of members of the mightest mighty. And just so you also see how Fox was covering it.

Here's what they were covering in on Fox.

Let's play it. We're back alive from the National Mall at the rede dedicate to 50 event where thousands are gathering for a day of prayer and faith. For more, let's bring in the Gen Z faith influencer Anthony Gross Anthony here everywhere now.

What is your hope for this event? For people watching this event, what do you want them to take away? I think hope is my hope and getting a lineman and unification. As Anarchy Princess also explains, they gave out swag bags at this event, this rede dedicate, but you weren't allowed to bring the bags in.

These magas aren't exactly good planners, as we see all over the place, or moves everybody. So they gave out swag bags right before people entered and then it's no swag bags allowed.

So here's your swag bag and then you have to throw it in the guy stupidist people in the world.

So that's what they did. And then the big speech of Donald Trump and rede dedicate to 50. And as our editor-in-chief Ron Philip Kowsky says, "Holy shit. This is a pre-recorded message with lots of obvious edits." And this is the best he can do.

He looks like a cadaver sounds like he's on a ventilator and can't even properly read

sections that come from a book he's never read.

And then his own house, he prespirously affected. And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locust you devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people. If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

But he did post lots of bizarre memes like coming soon, they're reflecting pool.

News is going to drive the lips angry man.

And when it grows additional algae and you'll see it more because there will be bright blue, so you'll see all of the green.

And as it continues to lead, that's going to own the lips, man.

That's what we do. What do we stand for around the right wing?

We're own the lips, man. Like Americans are suffering. They can't afford anything groceries, gas. We have like the highest credit card. The linkancy in generations, student debt delinquencies, the highest in generations. You've got people who can find a job, but they can't buy a home. They can't pay their rent. But we're going to own the lips with reflecting pools, man. Okay guys, he's so stupid.

And then manga Mike Johnson, shutting down Congress and talking about the issues that I know are on the top of Americans mind banning myth of pristone, a big deal for maga michael. Let's play it. This other legal big case that came out of Louisiana, which is you guys essentially down there have been

fighting the use of the abortion pillar myth of pristone because Louisiana is basically outlawed

nearly all abortions, but people can get this through the mail. It went to the Supreme Court

about whether it would pause and order that meant you had to at least have an in-person visit.

The court's not going to do that while the case plays out. They were objections by just as Thomas and Alito saying, essentially by allowing these pills to flow into states where abortions not widely available, it's going around the dobb's decision. And there are calls for the administration to do something more about it. Thomas and Alito were exactly right. It's an android around state laws and you have a number of states who have acted through our small

de-democratic process to address that issue. And by mailing the drugs to women across state lines,

you go around the state laws. And they're exactly right. It's a serious problem. abortions

have increased in numbers since dobs over turn row. And that's a great concern to us. The mailing of this drug is a very dangerous thing. You're sending it to young women without physician oversight or assistance and people are being harmed in more ways than one. And so I think it's a big issue. You know, I'm encouraging the administration to assist with that. And I think there's a lot of evaluation on how they can handle it. Yeah, and there's pressure that the FDA could be doing more

potentially to oversee how that moves through the system. Okay, I want to ask you, we're obviously here at this faith event. And so Megan Mike, what do you say to black voters about redistricting here play this clip? So what is your message to black Americans? Black voters about this redistricting? The Supreme Court issued a long-awaited opinion. I think it was long overdue. And they stated the obvious that drawing congressional lines must be fair. You cannot draw lines

on the basis of race. And that's what was done in Louisiana. So they declared it to be an

unconstitutional gerrymander. And it was, this is brings back fairness and certainty to the system. And I think a lot of states are looking to make sure that their maps are not unconstitutional like Louisiana as well. Mm, very votes. As you invoke the word of God, Megan Mike, that's exactly what disenfranchising black voters and gutting the voting rights act. So what are we going to get back to talking about? I don't know, kitchen table issues, Megan Mike. You want to

talk about the suffering of the American people. Now, once we deal with her moves, we'll deal with it here. Play this clip. All right. So see this news had some pulling out this morning, showing 76% of people are concerned. 67 say they are stressed about their own personal financial situation. You know that generally the incumbent is punished in the midterms. And people are feeling very uncertain about how they're doing personally. How do you campaign against that? Well,

this relates to the last segment. We're talking about the street of farmers really all points lead back to that. Gas prices are too high because of that. And then that hasn't effect on how goods are transported to the grocery store and all the rest. So as soon as we get that straight now, we will get back to the kitchen table issues, the economic issues that we put in place to make the economy grow. I know so utterly pathetic. But, you know, if you take a look at Donald

Trump's approval right now, you see record lows, the latest CBS Ugov poll, April was the last one that was taken. Donald Trump's approval was 39% in that one. Now, it's a 37% approval, 63% disapproved on the issue of immigration, Donald Trump's net negative 14 on the Iran war, net negative 32 on the economy, net negative 34 on inflation, net negative 46. These are historically bad numbers and magas gearing up right now. This is how seen and reported it.

Magas are already planning to run the same playbook across the country, but specifically in Ohio, attacking Democrats as being out of step on immigration and transgender rights. It was going to attack the transgender community. And so the Magra Republicans are like shared brown, who's the Democratic candidate running president there. Is the absolute perfect political cicada? This is a guy who comes out of the ground and pretends he's moderate working class

American.

such a hardcore liberal, you know, it's like giving people fair wages and health care and fighting

for people to have affordable homes and supporting unions and work with such a hardcore liberal

man was you support marginalized communities man like come on get with the program man. I mean, these people are, again, we just have to mock these people. They're so damn pathetic. They're all

a bunch of losers. Truthfully, there's like the biggest losers in life. And here's finally

what they're as they shut down Congress. Here's what the big thing they were talking about. This is

Maria Varna Roma, bringing on an acting attorney general Todd Blanch. Like Tony, Tony, are we going to be able to, are we going to be able to prove that the at the 2020 election was stolen? This is what the American people want. Can we prove that the 2020,

with that's what we taught as was the 2020 still? That's my Maria Varna Roma impression. Let's play.

So you believe they will be at some point a definitive answer to whether or not the 2020 election was stolen. I don't, I'm not going to promise there's going to be a definitive answer. That wouldn't be fair to you or anybody else. But we are looking at it and we're hoping to get one. There you have it folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. If you like this video,
