So to recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.
Earlier this morning, we got some troubling news that jobless claims in America are spiking worse than expected. There were an estimated 242,000 jobless claims that were filed last week. This exceeded the expectations above most economists. And We're hearing now from Democratic voters, Republican voters, independent voters, people who aren't even all that political, just how pissed they are.
And we're learning about a lot of stories from people who were former Trump supporters as well, who are regretting their votes. We're seeing in ruby red districts as well, these red state voters showing up and saying, this is not what I voted for. You promised this, you promised that. None of the promises are happening anymore. And in fact, prices are surging. I mean, you've got posts like this.
The Let's Go Brandon store has its, they lost their lease. You have people posting on the various right-wing subreddits and social media chats saying that they're losing their jobs right now. A lot of people on Trump's social media platform responding to that bizarre post that he made about Trump, Gaza. And they were like, what the hell are you even doing?
And I think people are realizing that this tax cut is a scam that's just going to be helping the billionaires and screwing over working people. Well, all of that's happening. You've got like Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that these federal jobs that are being cut are not even real jobs and the people who are losing their jobs deserve it. Here, let's play this clip.
You can protest all you want outside of departments of this government. You can protest all you want. But the American people disagree with you. You're protecting the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy is not a business. Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue. By the way, they're consuming taxpayer dollars.
Those jobs are paid for by the American tax people who work real jobs, earn real income, pay federal taxes, and then pay these federal employees. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks. And these are jobs that can be fired at will.
Wow, let's bring in Democratic Congress member Suhas Subramaniam. Congress member, first off, welcome to the Midas Touch Network, your first time appearing. You are a Congress member from Virginia's 10th. What do you make of that? I know your district is being impacted by these cuts.
Yeah, you know, she said a couple interesting things. She also said that Congress couldn't cut Medicaid, but that's exactly what they're trying to do right now. But, you know, I represent a lot of federal workers and contractors And those are real jobs. They're real people with real families. So certainly the government does actually employ a lot of people that many of them are veterans.
