I just dropped United Health Care, and will probably leave AARP. UHC rejected an denied me an appeal that would cost me $93000!!! They are heartless profiteers!
insurance is a predatory, parasitical industry ... it always feels like legalized extortion to me. praying your health is improved and your future is bright and happy ...
Yes. Elon Musk wants less or no money spent on human services and instead spend that money on his Space X company. As a taxpayer, I do not want any of my money spent on Space X. Not one cent.
Elon did not make his money legally. The Holy Bible is very clear, the true DRV. Even Rome, has introduced a altered changed DRV now. Watch what you read? As if you could believe in the word vatican II? All the word trully means, vatican, is extermination of lies. NOW, you tell me, how could they make a second one of that exact word. and it not be a lie
Giving a COLA increase to members of Congress no matter how small is a slap in the face to working class citizens who haven't received an adequate salary increase in 12 years. Umm hell no!
Or, they could offer a sliding scale raise for congress members? The vast majority of congress members are extremely wealthy and don't need a government paycheck to survive on. I only know of one congresswoman who lives entirely off of what she earns as a member of congress. In other words, any potential raise would depend on how much each member relies on their government paycheck, if at all?
Greediness/love of money and power applies to President Biden and Trump and many politicians in power lording it bigly over the people/those they're supposed to represent and look out for
"Everybody want's to be my friend" even when your sweet 3rd grader gushes such a statement; you gently tell them that some will try to befriend just because they like the snickerdoodle the kid shares. Trump golfed away his last term; stood next to smarter guys like Fauci looking like the idiot he is; once Trump came to know that science is not lighting in a bottle; he doubled down on quince meds, bleach, sunshine and other nonsense; Elon recognizing a blundering fool; leaped on board; bought Twitter, bought Trump too; difference - twitted team left, fired, pushed out, smelled the coffee; meanwhile Trump is like the 3rd grader - gushing about friends that will use him. President Musk was rich as Hades in 2012, he was also pretty much silent, begging Obama to save his business.
12:42 someone should have recommended to cut out Elons 15 billion dollar contract from the budget. That would save tax payers a lot of money. Elon has doubled his wealth since the election so he has plenty of money to fund his companies without the govt handouts. He should be exploring space on his own dollar.
.... and WHO is going to change the Constitution? The same Congressmen who made the rules to give themselves their free junket? Are you expecting the wolves in the hen house to go and lock themselves out of the hen house?

Symbols of the castrated member, the tie and bow-tie, are mandatory accoutrements of the political wardrobe and phallic monuments are erected to commemorate the minds conquered long ago. Brute force is no longer necessary. The capitalist priest class of Psychiatry, working in tandem with the State bureaucracy, regulates and polices the new Restriction and gelding of desire. Psychiatrists, along with other legal arbiters, help to obscure justice with grey areas of intentionality, mental state, etc. Some mistake this as a system of Liberty, ignorant of the fact that Psychiatric Control is a cornerstone of the perfected Totalitarian State. All modern illnesses come from the absurd and tragic struggle of man's inability to bridle Nature.

Ad Baculum + Ad Populum = Democracy "Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. [...] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." - Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation - 1981) "Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions.

Watch the Meidas Touch brothers on their own network. They are the most honest of all news sources I have ever found besides Democracy Now. They're great attorneys working to keep our democracy in our country.
It is indeed, but it's extremely concerning that Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now!" is alone in a field of exactly one progressive daily news show, for the 330 Americans who are progressive by a substantial majority, yet live in a media culture that is 99% pro-corporate, and anti-worker, with dozens of media outlets which are essentially in the business of "manufacturing consent" for the establishment and all it's big policy priorities, including every single war, and let's keep in mind that the US has invaded countries nonstop since WWII, every single instance of which was a criminal act of aggression against a country that didn't attack us. All of our wars were unpopular to begin with, and some of them became popular after billions of dollars worth of propaganda were cranked out by the corporate establishment media in support of the criminal aggressions. In other words, we not only live in a failed state that's unresponsive to the progressive majority and extorts us to pay for their criminal invasions of other countries against our will, but a state which has no progressive media other than some RUclips channels, Amy Goodman and Mehdi Hasan and his new outlet. Meanwhile the right wing billionaires have bought hundreds of radio stations across the country including Spanish language stations, to broadcast non-stop pro-fascism, anti-democracy anti-American bigoted messaging. That's why the orange sack of excrement somehow manages to get a bunch of Hispanic votes in spite of his hateful Nazi rhetoric against them. It turns out propaganda doesn't have to make sense; enough repetition will convince the morons to abandon their common sense and argue against improving their own lives on behalf of the billionaires that exploit them, and when it comes to a choice between improving everyone's lives including theirs and the brown and black people they hate, or making all working class People suffer including themselves, they will choose the latter every time, because they think it is better to force the people they hate to suffer even if it means doing the same to themselves, rather than have good lives when it means risking the dreaded outcome of allowing those they hate to also be happy.
@@marianne8705 I know. Someone here, Tyrese, does not get it. When the other party has the White House, they suddenly find themselves capable of speaking truth. All media does the same thing, right or left.
It is so disgusting to watch these companies and/or individuals give monies in millions while we have schools with antiquated books, teachers need more pay; homeless families and our entire government is talking millions/billions and playing with people's lives. I detest our politics and these reports. I am a veteran, as was my dad who died from agent orange. Keep making these people richer, while the average American becomes poorer and can't do anything. I am getting more disgusted each day and wonder why I even served this country the way it is now.
Truthfully said. That's their mastermind evil plan to get richer and stay in power, by dumbing down the masses/future generations. We truly need Jesus Christ to liberate/rescue us, and he will!

I remember when AARP magazine covered the issue of anti-psychotics given to seniors in nursing homes. This is an extremely dangerous practice leading to many deaths including a friend's mom after a single forced use. (The woman was dehydrated - that was the actual issue.) And I was thrilled with the implication or outright statement that AARP would in six months have accomplished a lot in this direction and would share the news at that time. I waited. and waited. Then... NOTHING. I was terribly disappointed. Now I understand. If ever there IS a group looking out for elderly in terms of stopping crippling and lethal practices, I hope they would stop that particular abuse AND that of the use of ECT - electroshock "therapy" - a practice which is dirt cheap to do, allows charging of heftly fees and makes lots of money, but is characterized by cognitive losses and decline in health and function. Both of these leave people with little ability to complain, or often, to speak at all. That is probably the main benefit to those who are prescribing or administering them.
We the American people are ridiculous. We the people can't seem to unite and organize to fight the 1% oligarchy. For decades we've been trained to be "Rugged individuals" (selfish and ignorant). Fighting each other over *culture wars* (fomented by the rich) Half of Americans are still a sleep to the realization that 1% billionaires and their system of greed -Capitalism is root to the problems. They will excuse it. deflect blame away from it. defend it. and go vote for a fake populist like Trump twice. I really hope the economic devastation will come really hard and real fast on all of us, that all of us non rich are forced to organize and fight the oligarchs. Do away with Capitalism. Tax billionaires out of existence and transition Socialism - Economy owned by the people (Public) controlled by the working class Socio-economic freedom and justice for all not for the 1% that bought it.
Let's hope it happens soon. But don't neglect the fact that all the people whom CFdjt has named to his cabinet are billionaires with morally smeared histories, likely watching Musk with envy, watching his fortune ratch up & up, and wishing theirs could do the same. The fall of Musk would be in the national interest, but would not provide all the protection needed against the ambitions of the rest of the inner circle, and definitely not against the man at the hub.
Keep calling Musk President bc that is already bothering him…two times he has spoken publicly about how Musk is not President…. Narcs will clash…probs by the time Trump takes office!
This country needs to come together and unite against the billionaires who want to take “any wealth we the people have accumulated. Our 401k ‘s and homes are burning a hole in their pocket. Divide and conquer is too true.
This is real life for most women who enforce their boundaries. I have experienced this kind of attack from men I rejected. They destroy your reputation and social standing and you end up shunned and ostracized.
An Aesop comes to mind: “The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny, and it is useless for the innocent to try by reasoning to get justice, when the oppressor intends to be unjust."
Just another corporate chess player making moves with the top one percent that broadens their profit margins while the average taxpayer takes a bath in their own debts. Anyone wanting to drain the swamp may want to stop and think where the water comes from and who holds the plug.
I think everyone should read what Vivek Ramaswamy said about our nation on X. He said our nation did not graduate anyone capable of being good computer engineers. He said everything about American culture is mediocre, shallow, basically worthless, and we have to have people from India do our important high paying jobs. When I was in finance, they had a third party vendor shipping Indian coders into the United States to work for $10 an hour, no benefits, to make more profits. They couldn’t code their way out of a paper bag, and my American citizen project coordinator had to clean up their shoddy work.
Illegal/H1B immigrant workers have made Americans dumbed down or mediocre as more and more are dropped from the middle class and can't afford owning a house/pay high bills, so of course they're laughing at us as they brag about how great the H1B Indian workers are, etcetera. Vivek spoke like a racist hater and praised his nation/culture/people
@@caliguy1260 you mean, invest in education? In the long term vs. an immediate gain? Why would they do that when they can get H1B workers for cheap right now?
@christopherhiggins8238 the thing is that Musk isn't complaining about where he works. He's complaining about the taxpayers, whose money he's using to do what he does. The utter gall and lack of self awareness it takes to do that🙄🙄
@@LindaDianeBroomhead-eu2ry I have been with Kaiser Permanente ever since. They also have their issues, but coverage of claims and costs are not among them. It sometimes takes longer than you would expect to get in to see a doctor, but that seems to be the case in general these days.
@@LindaDianeBroomhead-eu2ry I got hit by a taxi and was on straight medicare. Medicaid picked up for me because I was in rehab for 101/2 months. My roommate had very similar injuries and had United Health Advantage plan. They threw her out as the insurance denied rehab and luckily she was married to a younger man who could do a fireman's carry to get her into her house. She did not heal up as well as I did with my rehab. She had a farm so needed the supplement because Medicaid would take her house. That is what is so despicable about our health system. There is really no good choice, it is designed to pauperize all of us and have us leave this earth with nothing much sooner than we should. Prayers
"Eventually they'll get sick of being a rubber stamp" lol no they won't. Imagine having a job that makes you rich with money and power with no responsibility whatsoever.
Elon also wants power and is likely a hater/dislikes American people and envisions himself as the president of the U.S. but he's more like a cruel greedy dictator
It is official the oligarchs have come out to show who really are running the country and who's interest are more important, Not yours Mr and Mrs Taxpayers
Why did they wait so long to get this bill together and get it in for review? Why has this become the norm? Where is the budget that should be presented, haven't seen one in years? USA is $36trillion in debt with no attempt by government to pay back. Why are you not mad about that? This bill also included more billion in funding for any country but America. It also included a new football stadium in Washington. Stop, just stop. Get angry about the debt. We are all to blame. The government for being so reckless with our tax dollars and tax payers for being pushovers. As a tax payer I don't have $208,000 to pay my share of the corrupt/waste that has been going on. Do you all? Our government needs to work together and get this straightened out. We are foolish to keep blaming someone. Its done. Its over. Lets look for solutions. Start the conversation.
Well, NO SHIT!!! What other objectives could the man whose money and power hungry could have had in mind? The wellbeing of the American people? Let’s all remember that he rejoices in the fact that he can fire people who are even thinking of joining a union.

Much better for someone to have their own money than to want to profit off of being in Congress or becoming president... let’s look at Nancy Pelosi for starters, she’s worth multi millions of dollars off of just over $100 thousand a year. So we’re in the San hell did she get all that money from?? Just like Biden she sold our Country off one million dollars at a time. Also look at the Obama’s they’re worth millions as well and never did squat to earn any of that money, used his black card to get in the White House and didn’t help the black community what so ever. Trump has done more for black America than the so called black guy did. And thank HaShem EVERYONE saw through the democrats trying to turn Harris black we so saw through that.
You guys don’t know either men... so how can you sit there and talk about what is in their hearts?? YOU CAN’T!!! So therefore you are creating lashon jars EVIL SPEECH and it has the same consequences ss murder according to G-D!! Spiritually you are committing murder when you speak about someone when you have no idea who they are or what they believe. I’ve had the pleasure of being with Trump on many occasions and I will tell you he is one of the nicest men I have ever met. He is also one of the most respectful men I have ever met. I’ve never heard anyone speak badly of him until he switched from being a democrat to becoming a Republican and running for President. Got democrats pantries all up in a bunch bc all his money wasn’t theirs use for running for different offices any longer. Unless you know someone personally you didn’t speak badly about them bc you have no idea so they are

Thank you Musk for saving the taxpayers billions in government waste. Musk is Trumps advisor. If Musk advise save government and puts American first. A rather have a genus advise . If you find a insurance thats pays 100% let me know.
@artstrology Thank you. Some of these politicians are like a parasite, fungi, bacteria, lacking any sympathy, compassion or remorse. Like a Psychopath. Non-sentient means something is inanimate and lacks consciousness. It can also mean something is incapable of feeling physical or emotional pain or pleasure, or has no senses. Synonyms of non-sentient include: insensible, apathetic, senseless, and indifferent. Beings that lack centralized nervous systems, such as bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, and plants, are not sentient.
@artstrology Most of the extremely wealthy people aren't "hording wealth." Elon Musk isn't hording wealth, his wealth is his ownership stakes in the companies he founded. By maintaining those stakes he maintains control over the companies and is able steer those companies in the direction he wants.
I think that's theonly think musk couldn't have and he now got he couldn't be president of us he had all the money but he couldn't just be president now he has president of a powerful country in his pocket its a shame that he got is so easy just by freida got trump

💙💙 I'm particularly angry about the degree of power and influence Elon Musk has in government (even prior to Trump's inauguration) ... for someone the American people has not elected or approved of in any way, shape or form. His role in blocking childhood cancer research funding, etc., is immoral if not illegal. And, on top of that, one who entered the United States under false pretenses. He started out as a liar and continues to be a hypocrite and negative influence --- we need more oversight and controls over his endeavors and actions.
Musk didn't become the richest man in America without bribing U.S. officials/politicians/people in power. He said in an interview that he doesn't care about money because he has evil plans to overtake the White House policies/finances through Trump by controlling/bribing him and Mike Johnson/J.D. Vance, etcetera and that way he keep replenishing his bank account with even more bigger filthy money/laughing heartily all the way to the bank
Exactly, and when Trump went greeting other nation's leaders in France they all knew he was going to con the American people, as they stared at him in unison, because most are in on it. Jill Biden had a laugh she couldn't contain because she knew Trump is no different then her and Biden in their love of money, and they'll take million dollar bribes anytime

It’s good to see that we’re no longer worried about not having a separation of the branches of government and from corporate influences. We don’t need to play the charade any longer. They can just go ahead and take away the will of the people overtly.

I'm dismayed, no other media or Congress person, including Jeffries, talked about this China provision and Musk's Tesla factories in China. Are Dems afraid of Musk?
Trump said he likes having smart people around, and he is 100% correct. We are all better off when Trump surrounds himself with Musk and the others as well.

Yea, them Congress who live (and paid) on taxpayer money 😑😤
Absolutely
And who is going to pay for this healthcare coverage? Taxpayers?We have one of the most inefficient healthcare systems in the world.

Malum In Se/Malum Prohibitum
Nothing moral requires authority. Authority is the claim to the exclusive exemption to morality. It is a monopoly on violence. Violence is a violation because it is the initiation of aggression, not self-defense. Offense/defense are ontologically distinct. All crime has a legal equivalent (ie, taxation is extortion).

"Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. [...] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." - Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation - 1981)
"Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions. And so it goes, on and on." - Alfred Korzybski (Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics - 1933)

"Leadership in government is political power, and political power is an official form of antagonizing the people. Politics are rules imposed upon the people. They have every man in a straight jacket and without a passport he cannot move a toe. In a free world, they violate the natural rights of every citizen.

It was recently born. I think it happened on November 5, 2024. It usually has a very short life.
It is indeed, but it's extremely concerning that Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now!" is alone in a field of exactly one progressive daily news show, for the 330 Americans who are progressive by a substantial majority, yet live in a media culture that is 99% pro-corporate, and anti-worker, with dozens of media outlets which are essentially in the business of "manufacturing consent" for the establishment and all it's big policy priorities, including every single war, and let's keep in mind that the US has invaded countries nonstop since WWII, every single instance of which was a criminal act of aggression against a country that didn't attack us.
All of our wars were unpopular to begin with, and some of them became popular after billions of dollars worth of propaganda were cranked out by the corporate establishment media in support of the criminal aggressions.
In other words, we not only live in a failed state that's unresponsive to the progressive majority and extorts us to pay for their criminal invasions of other countries against our will, but a state which has no progressive media other than some RUclips channels, Amy Goodman and Mehdi Hasan and his new outlet.
Meanwhile the right wing billionaires have bought hundreds of radio stations across the country including Spanish language stations, to broadcast non-stop pro-fascism, anti-democracy anti-American bigoted messaging.
That's why the orange sack of excrement somehow manages to get a bunch of Hispanic votes in spite of his hateful Nazi rhetoric against them.
It turns out propaganda doesn't have to make sense; enough repetition will convince the morons to abandon their common sense and argue against improving their own lives on behalf of the billionaires that exploit them, and when it comes to a choice between improving everyone's lives including theirs and the brown and black people they hate, or making all working class People suffer including themselves, they will choose the latter every time, because they think it is better to force the people they hate to suffer even if it means doing the same to themselves, rather than have good lives when it means risking the dreaded outcome of allowing those they hate to also be happy.

I remember when AARP magazine covered the issue of anti-psychotics given to seniors in nursing homes. This is an extremely dangerous practice leading to many deaths including a friend's mom after a single forced use. (The woman was dehydrated - that was the actual issue.) And I was thrilled with the implication or outright statement that AARP would in six months have accomplished a lot in this direction and would share the news at that time. I waited. and waited. Then... NOTHING. I was terribly disappointed. Now I understand.
If ever there IS a group looking out for elderly in terms of stopping crippling and lethal practices, I hope they would stop that particular abuse AND that of the use of ECT - electroshock "therapy" - a practice which is dirt cheap to do, allows charging of heftly fees and makes lots of money, but is characterized by cognitive losses and decline in health and function.
Both of these leave people with little ability to complain, or often, to speak at all. That is probably the main benefit to those who are prescribing or administering them.

Also look at the Obama’s they’re worth millions as well and never did squat to earn any of that money, used his black card to get in the White House and didn’t help the black community what so ever.

Thank you Musk for saving the taxpayers billions in government waste. Musk is Trumps advisor.
If Musk advise save government and puts American first.
A rather have a genus advise .
If you find a insurance thats pays 100% let me know.
That Cybertruck is the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen on the road. I burst out in laughter whenever I see it on the road.
Cool opinion brah
Same!😂 Just saw one the other day... hideous.🙄
Always make sure to give them the one finger salute to those brave Americans 😆
@@vh9network i call it "the vehicle born in a K hole by an A hole".
I'm glad it's not just me
Why is this not in the mainstream media...OMG.. the slight of hand will be massive in the next 4 years
Because all of you are easy to distract with balloons & Russia
Because it’s Bullshit! Get over it.
Because they're owned by MAGA millionaires/billionaires.
@Jmons-v8p it's not, MAGAt. You're a traitor to democracy!!!
...& We, the People, will become less informed as legacy media bend to the extrtionist whims of the orange mafia.
The best government money can buy!
Being rich doesn't mean that you are intelligent. 💰=😳?
In fact, hoarding wealth is a non-sentient behavior. It is a learned behavior that is unnatural.
@@artstrology Can I have your bank account details then? lol
@artstrology
Thank you.
Some of these politicians are like a parasite, fungi, bacteria, lacking any sympathy, compassion or remorse.
Like a Psychopath.
Non-sentient means something is inanimate and lacks consciousness. It can also mean something is incapable of feeling physical or emotional pain or pleasure, or has no senses.
Synonyms of non-sentient include: insensible, apathetic, senseless, and indifferent.
Beings that lack centralized nervous systems, such as bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, and plants, are not sentient.
@@bucketsbucket1593so you're admitting you're a non sentient hoarder?
@artstrology Most of the extremely wealthy people aren't "hording wealth."
Elon Musk isn't hording wealth, his wealth is his ownership stakes in the companies he founded. By maintaining those stakes he maintains control over the companies and is able steer those companies in the direction he wants.
So Elon pulled a Trump on Trump.
And won't Melania look good on Elon's arm, holding hands. When trump has to deport them.
I think that's theonly think musk couldn't have and he now got he couldn't be president of us he had all the money but he couldn't just be president now he has president of a powerful country in his pocket its a shame that he got is so easy just by freida got trump
Impeach President Musk!
... And Drumpf
Johnson thinks being speaker of the house is the hardest job in the world? 😂😂😂😂😂
I know. That was hilarious.
The hardest job Johnson has is trying to hide his porn viewing from his son
Yes. It’s tough for Mike Johnson to put on a good clown costume and makeup everyday 😅
Shepherds, Sawyers and fishermen have the hardest jobs in the world. Johnson is simply running a daycare center for the billionaire baby men.
All the billionaire CEO's that capitulated to Donald Trump think Luigi is a terrorist. Gee I wonder why?
Luigi is a psychopath
Plus AARP has no problem with Advantage plans, that’s when I realized something was wrong
Its a shame that AARP went 'on the take' and became nothing more than a veiled insurance marketer...
@@XX-qd6ke
Worse than a shame. AARP gets millions from seniors who pay for subscriptions under the illusion that AARP has their best interests at heart.
Shoulder that be a crime? Fleecing seniors?
Isn't it fraud?
@@XX-qd6keBut AARP was founded as an insurance sales engine!
great interview, valuable information we can't get anywhere else.
It's always about the money with those people
U voted for Kamala. Predictable.
@@JohnSmith-xx5ir yes, i did vote for kamala, i don't vote for corrupt, pathological, racist TRAITORS like your orange jesus.
💙💙 I'm particularly angry about the degree of power and influence Elon Musk has in government (even prior to Trump's inauguration) ... for someone the American people has not elected or approved of in any way, shape or form. His role in blocking childhood cancer research funding, etc., is immoral if not illegal. And, on top of that, one who entered the United States under false pretenses. He started out as a liar and continues to be a hypocrite and negative influence --- we need more oversight and controls over his endeavors and actions.
Musk didn't become the richest man in America without bribing U.S. officials/politicians/people in power. He said in an interview that he doesn't care about money because he has evil plans to overtake the White House policies/finances through Trump by controlling/bribing him and Mike Johnson/J.D. Vance, etcetera and that way he keep replenishing his bank account with even more bigger filthy money/laughing heartily all the way to the bank
A con artist conning a con artist? No honor among thieves is there, I guess!! 😊
No wonder all other countries are laughing big time at USA😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
You mean Biden, Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Chenney, Gates, Soros, Fink, etc.
Exactly, and when Trump went greeting other nation's leaders in France they all knew he was going to con the American people, as they stared at him in unison, because most are in on it. Jill Biden had a laugh she couldn't contain because she knew Trump is no different then her and Biden in their love of money, and they'll take million dollar bribes anytime
Can’t we send musk back to South Africa.
Only by forcefully chasing him out!
I want to send him to prison
It's going to get far worse!!! These people's kids are going to be waaaaay waaaaaay richer. I don't even think we can imagine the wealth and power those individuals are going to have.
Throw Musk out of America..
@@JAMR0716Good luck! Lol
@@michaelc821 US didn't want to throw Justin Bieber out of LosAngeles after his repeated violation of the law. You think they want to throw Elon out with many times more wealth?
Why ? He owns more of it than most Americans and has the money to pay the taxes on it, unlike Trump, he can continue to do business in New York State. I know, he's not a convicted felon but does he really have to be one to run for office of the United States ?
Scam
Can someone please start a petition to kick apartheid South African born Elon Musk out of America?
It’s good to see that we’re no longer worried about not having a separation of the branches of government and from corporate influences. We don’t need to play the charade any longer. They can just go ahead and take away the will of the people overtly.
Citizens United. Buy a political campaign and force a return on investment. It's straight forward. Legalized bribery and corruption.
Thank you for keeping me clued in 💙
Makes me sick to see Musk jumping around so uncoordinated on the stage like a toddler.
He is showing Who has the Power by being so jubilant.
Me too! There’s a biography by Walter Isaacson about Elon Musk we should all read. Musk is mercurial.
Musk was greedily jumping and showing how he despises the American Trump supporters whom he and Bill Gates want to eradicate/replace with their slave classes, currently it's the Indians
THANK YOU for getting to the heart of the matter that has been ignored by MSM! It was ALL about protecting his current and future ventures in China! And he GOT what he wanted!
I'm dismayed, no other media or Congress person, including Jeffries, talked about this China provision and Musk's Tesla factories in China. Are Dems afraid of Musk?
And Dems lost some important things.
Trump said he likes having smart people around, and he is 100% correct. We are all better off when Trump surrounds himself with Musk and the others as well.
Just NO
Holy Sheeit. There was a lead buried in the fact that AARP is in cahoots with United Healthcare. Evil effers.
Excellent reporting thank you Amy.
Brilliant report!
thank you Amy.......you're the only group who gave the WHOLE STORY
Manipulated??
Came on!!! Who gives you 218 millions without expecting something in return????
Bought and paid for "ya bought it". Highest bidder wins 😊
Soros? Gates? Zuckerberg ?
That is manipulation also known as being bribed and Trump accepted the money which tells you all you need to know about him. He's no different than all the greedy Americans last politicians
Elon did it because he's a great guy
@@iainmrodgers9991bezos gave a non endorsement why?
It would be nice to hold public officials to account... make it better for us or be sentenced to a life of minimum wage existence
Trump is having a hissy fit with everyone and the media calling Musk president 😂 Carry on 😅 !
Who voted him In this is foul bu they know until it affect them personally then it's too lateur problem when old folks with dementia.cant get any care they r thr mo t difficult to take care of I n nursing homes the r threatening the staff and their famy wonhelp theyhave to work and these folks need 24 hr care and they cutting mrdicare
Well then he shouldn’t let him be involved with any governmental decision. Why on earth would you let the Fox guard the henhouse? Obviously a ridiculous decision- anyone could have told Trump. Same for Vivek. Look at their backgrounds. Sleezy America hating no talent vultures. Musk gets billions from our tax $$ to make himself rich not to benefit our country our citizens or anything American. He’s not the person behind the technology- you must know that right?? He’s a snake oil salesman
Nothing will change till we get.big.momey out of politics
What is the U.S. selling price? Musk could buy the nation. It is a corporatocracy after all.
Sorry couldn't tell you the asking price?
@ Quora says:Adding it all up, buying the land and properties of the US would cost $46.058 trillion.
@@kristiandoon8976 so you're saying President Musk got it at clearance price?
Great explanation of the debt ceiling
At least we can now see all the fat in these spending bills. I'm thankful Musk is educating the public. Our politicians prefer to keep us in the dark.
Did you not listen to this commentary at all?
Thank you for this coverage Amy!
At last, a succinct explanation of what we saw transpire/expire this past week re the 3 attempts to avoid a government shutdown, the threats involved, and Musk's role in obtaining his objective. Thank you Robert Kuttner.
Elon Musk has no business interfering with the business of Congress. I was born in the United States and therefore have more of a right to be present during a session of Congress than Musk!!!
Mainstream media continues to help keep the public in the dark about the truth.
And gaslight the public 😢
When it comes to the government giving money to corporations it's business when it comes to the government giving money for Health Care education regulation so that junk fees and price gouging stops it's called a handout or communism
Literally the oligarchs have socialism.
Jokes on us all. Taxes are socialized funding for the gov. The gov is already a form of socalism 😂
Yes, you've got it.
It's about time these two grew up their behaving like children, it's like
I'm the boss, no your not I'm the boss scenario. You truly deserve each other. The world is loving it
Thank you for not missing it!
LUIGI TO THE RESCUE ❤🇺🇲
I think luigi has close friends that could be hired.

Imagine pretending you care about democracy then endorsing the political assassination of your opponents.
I rely on Democracy Now for thorough coverage of these issues.
I owe, I owe it's off to work I go for President Musk.
