Ryan Grimm is by far my favorite political commentator. That sub-stack he works on is legitimately putting out some of the most incredible journalism I’ve ever seen on a regular basis.
Being on Medicaid radicalized me. It gave me a sense of security that every American deserves to have. I will always be incredibly grateful and thankful to the taxpayers and myself, as I also paid into Medicaid while on it (for about 4 years) and have been paying into it since I was 15 1/2 years old without stop. It probably saved my life. #medicareforall I needed it after I had to travel across the country for specialized reproductive healthcare, which was physically an extremely dangerous ordeal. I could have put myself in real danger with internal hemorrhaging while traveling back. But not many doctors will give a hysterectomy to a 25 year old, so that she can participate in life again. Women can die from internal bleeding if they physically overstrain themselves. I had to beg to save my own life. All these trials. Americans and women do not need them. A person is the only expert of their own lived experience. Causing harm on people doesn’t make them stronger or better. I have medical trauma. I have reproductive health trauma. None of that has improved my life or made me a better, stronger person. I experience that trauma with every woman whose medical and personal trauma is trodded out in front of the media while they experience their nightmare. No woman should have to prostrate herself before a law enforcement official or judge and relive her trauma in order to get the healthcare she needs. Women who receive reproductive healthcare and abortion care deserve privacy, dignity, and respect.
As a young taxpayer who might never see Medicaid benefits, I am SO HAPPY that my tax dollars get to directly help you, my fellow countryman, receive healthcare that improves your quality of life. I wish all my tax dollars could go to social support systems like this to improve people lives, rather than funding bombs or billionaires.
It’s because their states taxpayers don’t create enough taxes, to fund education. Good thing Trump will fix things by shutting down the department of education, see what voting against your own interests does. 😂
If somehow this goes forward, I hope that opens the door for some future president to get into office and be like, "I'm only giving the military 25% of its expected budget, we have to stop wasting all this money." I kind of love the idea of defense contractors not getting paid, bunch of scummy vultures. Imagine what the government could do if it cut their budget from $824.3 billion to $206 billion. That's a huge sum of money we could use to make America better.
This was my first thought. Why not freeze the pentagon? Since they haven’t passed an audit and can’t account for billions of dollars…. nope, goes after aide
Authoritarianism is always bad, that will never happen. Checks and balances exist for a reason. Would you crown someone king cause they might do something good? No. There's a reason congress has the power of the purse, not the president. This is not a good thing.
Because Ryan and Emily are just kinda chill. Krystal and Saagar seem to just wanna get one up on each other’s ideologies which is only really fun for people looking to affirm their political beliefs rather than commentary
Trump world assured everyone that they are competent and more prepared this time but the shit show continues. A circus will always be a part of this administration
It’s how some biased pundits report it. I guess you forgot all the BS from his first term. The people who watch corporate news and it’s imitators(BP) are the clowns.
"Biden Admin has been spending money like drunken sailors?" Last time Trump was in office, he added $7.5T to the national debt, or 1/3 of what it was before he took office. 🤣🤣🤣
It's actually $8.4T, $4.8T was non-covid and $3.6T was the CARES Act and other relief. Biden admin's total spend was $4.7T, less than Trump's non-covid spend.

How about FEMA and FHWA grant funds that hundreds of small towns across the East Coast are using to recover and rebuild from this summers flood/hurricane damage? This hits close to home for me. I manage a small town, and we've contracted for almost $3 million in infrastructure work to reopen roads and bridges to our residents this year. Without these funds, dozens of roads would have been left impassible. Hundreds of residents would have been with either no access, or limited access, to emergen services. To put that number in perspective, because for some $3 million wouldn't be a lot of money, our Town's operating budget is just over $4 million. This has serious implications across the board. (Edit: The Trump Administration has rescinded the order following U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan placing a temporary freeze on EO)
He has said the money would go directly to the state so they can deal with the disasters since they have a better idea what is needed in their own areas and should be able to mobilize faster than using FEMA.
@blammela yeah cut it too. But see how you moved the goalpost? He mentioned FEMA but you started the classic "whatabout........". There is plenty to manage waste, including FEMA
I work with the county homeless response and it was CHAOS & PANIC yesterday as NO ONE knew what he was talking about, which of our funding was even affected, and how long it would last.
The irony is. It's the country that has lost its mind. Somewhere we went from free, self sufficient, to begging for handouts from a wolf and thinking the system works as we go farther into debt. We wouldn't need 3/4 of this crap if a ponzi pyramid scheme hadn't been created and if war and inflation wasn't the only correction method. People don't see the bigger picture anymore, they have forgotten what the United States was intended to be.
Never had one and this was always Trump: hiring cronies and a sellout to the highest bidder. You just never paid attention and ignored those of us who pointed out the facts.
Wait, wasn’t Krystal just reporting incorrect/misleading info in the segment about the Colombian president? I’m not a Trump supporter but I do appreciate balanced coverage about what’s going on. Saagar hasn’t been doing a good job lately either.
As grateful as I am to Krystal and Saagar for starting this whole thing and keeping it steady, I really prefer listening to counter points lately. (Referring to where he jokingly called them Krystal and Saagar)

The windows phone was actually pretty good and ran really well. A few of my friends had it in high school and my brother kept his until 3 or so years ago. The issue was is that they were charging app developers to create apps for their store so a lot of startups did not elect to create apps for it. I remember it being very stable compared to Android and smooth. In 2013 or so they released this phone with like a mammoth 40 megapixel camera which was crazy back then.
The thing i was confused about was if the medicaid portal came back up after the admin scrambled realizing a mistake or if it came back up because of the Judges Stay?
Unfortunately, it's not "common sense." If it were that would imply that the vast majority of the population has read and understood the Constitution, but that's simply not the case.
It's really not that absurd... and perhaps not even false at all. Thomas Jefferson helped to write the Constitution... and as the 3rd president, HE thought he could do it... in 1801.
@@Nyet-Zdyes It is as congress has the power of the purse not the executive. This essentially gives the executive a line item veto on anything they don't like which was also ruled unconstitutional.
Right.... just because The Heritage Foundation would LIKE the president to have that power, doesn't mean the president indeed has it. People just want to freak out about Trump. I gotta be careful with my emotions. The internet's gonna be so negative, no matter what he does.
Id also encourage people to NOT give in to fear mongering as well.... the panic is causing strains in personal relationships and were all just mice eating each other before dust can even settle....
Who actually gets medicaid? My grandma who paid taxes her entire life got denied because her modest burial plot (6"x12"x12" box in a wall) made her net worth "too high" to receive medicaid. She had $5 in her bank account. We can get rid of it but needs to be revamped.
That's what sucks about the Luigi thing. Instead of being a catalyst for the dissolution of privatized insurance, we have the soulless GOP who continue to be outright hostile to their constituents about healthcare.
This is what people want. People voted for this. So it is way better optically to do this stuff and let people see that other people like judges etc are trying to stop it than doing it in silence behind the scenes and fighting it in secret.
I feel like I'm actually getting a look into real US politics, from a historical POV.... probably the most obvious power-pushing among the three branches of government since it's all online now.
Or....maybe Buttigieg moved to the area that his husband spent his entire childhood and openly discussed wanting to move back to once his husband's political career was over?
Both can be true at the same time, but I suspect this is more about keeping a spouse happy, especially given how rough it is being married to a cabinet secretary and in the spotlight all the time.

LOL no. Not even remotely. But sure . Let’s pretend that’s true. Are you claiming these same people would have preferred Harris? Because if they are having buyers remorse, they would have bought Harris instead? All because of what trump has or hasn’t done IN THE FIRST WEEK? Just imagine if you lunatics actually held Biden in 4 years,to even 5% of what your holding trump to, in 4 days.

I know he’s not in this video, but just want to take the opportunity to say that Saagar is a joke and a shill
Damn bruh🤣
Hi Krystal.
@Spookyghost777 That is not necessary or kind to say
@@zenabadjei2991 nor accurate, to be honest. Saagar's a moron, but not a shill.
This short notice wide budget freeze decision was barbaric.
Except we know the dems have been very busy shoveling money on their friends and corruption is rife. Why can’t the president review spending?
I would gladly take 2017 Trump over what he is round 2 so far. He has lost his mind
The irony is. It's the country that has lost its mind. Somewhere we went from free, self sufficient, to begging for handouts from a wolf and thinking the system works as we go farther into debt. We wouldn't need 3/4 of this crap if a ponzi pyramid scheme hadn't been created and if war and inflation wasn't the only correction method. People don't see the bigger picture anymore, they have forgotten what the United States was intended to be.
How about neither? Both are horse shit
He never had one.
Never had one and this was always Trump: hiring cronies and a sellout to the highest bidder. You just never paid attention and ignored those of us who pointed out the facts.

Real Michigander here. 5th generation. Mayo Pete leaves me cold. Give me Nina Turner-she could just come on over-Ohio doesn’t deserve her.
Ryan did pop up on my TikTok feed lol. Had to give him a follow.
Wait, wasn’t Krystal just reporting incorrect/misleading info in the segment about the Colombian president? I’m not a Trump supporter but I do appreciate balanced coverage about what’s going on. Saagar hasn’t been doing a good job lately either.
Somehow I doubt Space-X will lose funding... weird
I really enjoy the insight and humor between Ryan and Emily. The other reporter did a good job explaining things.
Yeah, microsoft can't make a good product; now excuse me, I have a power point to present.😂
at this point we need a Grim-Stein deadpan comedy hour
The "rule of law" --that's a cynical joke regarding American government at this point.
Funny Biden spent money like a drunk sailor? Trump 1.0 spent just as much
If you cut out the cVid spending for both, Trump spent way more. And we got virtually nothing for it.
As grateful as I am to Krystal and Saagar for starting this whole thing and keeping it steady, I really prefer listening to counter points lately. (Referring to where he jokingly called them Krystal and Saagar)
The best we can hope for are Republicans allowing us to get Social Security at age 77.5 🙏
democrats judges will block everything trump does.,, what is the point of a president if judges have more power??
The best we can hope for is that SS will have been scrapped and replaced with a system that works, rather than a blatant Ponzi scheme
You’ll get the “opportunity “ to receive social security
Hopefully democrats won’t give all our social security to illegals 🙏🏾
@@AB-nk5wv The best we can hope for is that that Ponzi scheme is scrapped and replaced with a system that works for the people, instead of the other way around
The windows phone was actually pretty good and ran really well. A few of my friends had it in high school and my brother kept his until 3 or so years ago. The issue was is that they were charging app developers to create apps for their store so a lot of startups did not elect to create apps for it. I remember it being very stable compared to Android and smooth. In 2013 or so they released this phone with like a mammoth 40 megapixel camera which was crazy back then.
Emily..That's Ryan's bands name...lol❤🎉😊
The thing i was confused about was if the medicaid portal came back up after the admin scrambled realizing a mistake or if it came back up because of the Judges Stay?
I was confused about this too.
It came back up because of the judges order
“ is that a still up look?” 😂😂
Ryan!! We love you!!! 😂😂😂

@ you ain’t doing to bad
It's common sense the president cannot withhold funding. The idea that President can choose not to spend is absurdly false.
Unfortunately, it's not "common sense." If it were that would imply that the vast majority of the population has read and understood the Constitution, but that's simply not the case.
It's really not that absurd... and perhaps not even false at all.
Thomas Jefferson helped to write the Constitution... and as the 3rd president, HE thought he could do it... in 1801.
@@Nyet-Zdyes It is as congress has the power of the purse not the executive. This essentially gives the executive a line item veto on anything they don't like which was also ruled unconstitutional.
@@keiththoma2559 wrong.
Right.... just because The Heritage Foundation would LIKE the president to have that power, doesn't mean the president indeed has it. People just want to freak out about Trump. I gotta be careful with my emotions. The internet's gonna be so negative, no matter what he does.
I hope things will be alowed to get better
beautifully uttered
Jeff Stein is always a great guest. Good stuff Ryan and Emily!
Here's the deal. Trump has a point about figuring out where the money is really going by doing this. However, his way of going about it is wrong.
Incredible segment! What a treasure your guy's reporting. Thank you so much.
The most PEAK oxymoron of all time:
Microsoft Works
their laptops sck so bad ! I can't believe I asked a surface pro for my graduation gift!!
Id also encourage people to NOT give in to fear mongering as well.... the panic is causing strains in personal relationships and were all just mice eating each other before dust can even settle....
Ryan, explain it using football terms.😂
Who actually gets medicaid? My grandma who paid taxes her entire life got denied because her modest burial plot (6"x12"x12" box in a wall) made her net worth "too high" to receive medicaid. She had $5 in her bank account. We can get rid of it but needs to be revamped.
u got 2 b DEI, otherwise they won't give it to you
These EO's are coming fascist and furious.
LOL cool story bro. Trump is totally hitler. after all, that worked so well for you guys in nov. Keep calling him hitler. We love it
It’s like they’re just waiting for everyone to look away…
That's what sucks about the Luigi thing. Instead of being a catalyst for the dissolution of privatized insurance, we have the soulless GOP who continue to be outright hostile to their constituents about healthcare.
Now there’s so much concern about transparency and specifics but was not the case with the previous press secretary
Hey @Breaking Points... having those time-stamp things in the video would def be great. Makes it easier to click around to the topics im looking for
Legendary duo.
This is what people want. People voted for this. So it is way better optically to do this stuff and let people see that other people like judges etc are trying to stop it than doing it in silence behind the scenes and fighting it in secret.
I feel like I'm actually getting a look into real US politics, from a historical POV.... probably the most obvious power-pushing among the three branches of government since it's all online now.
Emily's show "Undercurrents" is really good 👍
Or....maybe Buttigieg moved to the area that his husband spent his entire childhood and openly discussed wanting to move back to once his husband's political career was over?
Both can be true at the same time, but I suspect this is more about keeping a spouse happy, especially given how rough it is being married to a cabinet secretary and in the spotlight all the time.
All good. He doesn't have a chance in Indiana and politicians move all the time. Mitt Romney didn't live in Utah.
Yuck. Michigander here, don't want him.

Thats great i just wanna know what is going on my kids have appointments scheduled that take months to get into
Tell your kids to pull themselves up by their bootstraps
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I knew this presidency was going to be as "unconventional" as his last term but I didnt count on a fire hose of raw idiocy right out of the gate. I want some of the things he talked about. Border security, lower taxes, cleaner foods. What I dont want is millions of my fellow Americans having their lives upended to get it.
Those aren’t fellow Americans brother. They are poorS. 😮
Which fellow Americans are having their lives upended? And honestly, did you believe that huge changes can be made, without anyone lives being affected? You aren’t a trump supporter so stop pretending you are, a

Their lives will be upended and you still won't get any of the things you want, big dog.
People panicked for a few hours. The beauty of having opposing sides is the checks and balances that are in place. Trust the system. Nothing horrible happened. It’ll be okay.
"Condoms for Gaza" - that's Ryan's band name. Lol, Emily!😂
Please let these two be the primary show. Krystal and Saagar have become the parents you know are getting divorced and are getting unhinged.
I just can't take Krystals shrill lefties nonsense. Ryan can bring it without the shrill talking over everyone.
Emily pronounced "Murtaza" perfectly!
Better than his colleague, Ryan, always does.
A bunch of NPC’s just realized their entire life is funded by the government and that it can be turned off in a moments notice
this guy isnt just cooking he's burning the food lol
Condoms for Gaza? Guess what's on the list for items that Israel blocks from Gaza....condoms.😂
where'd you hear that, buddy?
The condoms for Gaza line from Emily was hilarious
Why…?
Ahh the only day I can still stand this show.
The vast majority of Congressionally authorized spending is unconstitutional in the first place, if we're going to be concerned about the niceties of the Constitution all of a sudden.
We agree on one thing: "Microsoft has never made a consumer product worth using."
That is quite stupid

@@andresabourin2423 All trash.

WINDOWS. As much as people might dislike it there's no real other alternative
"Gazan condoms"? Does Jeff Stein think this is funny? Or appropriate for a population with 20,000 children slaughtered by Israel? No credibility or class Jeff Stein.
BUYERS REMORSE..........
Not too many have that.
None what so ever 😊. MAGA !!
No one has buyers remorse. lol the strange world progressives live in
@@AlfonsoRamirez-k5l so you like the chaos mayhem and terrible fascist policies, lmao i mean that says a lot about you
LOL no. Not even remotely. But sure . Let’s pretend that’s true. Are you claiming these same people would have preferred Harris? Because if they are having buyers remorse, they would have bought Harris instead? All because of what trump has or hasn’t done IN THE FIRST WEEK? Just imagine if you lunatics actually held Biden in 4 years,to even 5% of what your holding trump to, in 4 days.
Sad to say these two are the best part of breaking points now
The click bait titles on these videos have been out of control for many, many months in both directions. Please be better.

@@brickgoat1017 I don't think having issues with portal logins qualifies as a Medicaid COLLAPSE
