0.299 - 20.657 Ryan Reynolds

Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. At Mint Mobile, we like to do the opposite of what big wireless does. They charge you a lot. We charge you a little. So naturally, when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due to not hating you. That's right. We're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month.

So that's the moment the MAGA Republican members of Congress were cheering that they passed their CR, their continuing resolution. That reminds me of something. Where have I seen clapping like that before, where people look terrified by clapping at the same time? Oh, yeah, I think I've seen that before. It looks like that's what these MAGA Republicans have become these days.

61.946 - 66.167 Ben Meiselas

It looks a little bit Kim Jong-un-ish, and I guess there's a reason why Donald Trump

66.607 - 88.353 Ben Meiselas

looks up to kim jong when you look at this continuing resolution there are about 22 different instances at least although i want to see if there may be even more than that in this bill where the funding for certain programs is set at zero dollars um and if you look at the types of things that are being cut go back to to that last graphic as well there, Salty.

88.713 - 113.569 Ben Meiselas

I mean, you're looking at things like EPA, healthcare, education, things that are going to also harm red states. So these MAGA Republicans are quite literally cheering on the fact that they're harming their own constituents. By the way, these are the same MAGA Republican Congress members who for years have now been saying, we will never pass a continuing resolution again. The days of CRs are over.

113.87 - 128.761 Ben Meiselas

And if there is a CR, it's going to be clean CRs. This was none of that. But then they tried to spin it, I think, in kind of Pyongyang fashion. This is MAGA Republican Congress member Tom Emmer just saying how great things are. Play this clip.
