Sabotage: Schumer blocks popular AI bill, looking to boost Democrats’ midterm prospects

Josh Holmes (0:00)

There is this rape payer protection pledge. You've heard the White House talk about this before. The champion of this in the United States Senate is Senator Husted.

Comfortably Smug (0:09)

Senate Democrats blocked Husted's bid to pass the bill by unanimous consent earlier this month, even though the legislation cleared the House 417 to three. That, I mean-

John Ashbrook (0:21)

Mother's Day resolution doesn't do that well. The Democrats at the top who are trying to recapture the majority want to slow this effort down because they think it will help their cause.

Comfortably Smug (0:33)

Rather than let Americans get that win, Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats are trying to stop this from happening.

Josh Holmes (0:41)

Everybody thinks Chuck Schumer is a schmuck.

It also tells you how fake so much of the left wing outrage around the data center debate is entirely just a fictional thing.

Cancer, a life changing, terrifying diagnosis millions of Americans receive every single year. But thanks to American innovation, patients can fight back and take back control of their lives. Breakthroughs in cancer treatment are delivering for American patients. Therapies that once required long visits to specialized facilities to sit for hours in a fusion chair can be ministered more affordably, quickly and conveniently in a shot closer to home. But bureaucrats in Washington are threatening to change that. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, quietly proposed a little known rule called the fixed dose combination drug policy. It sounds harmless, but this is a dangerous expansion of Joe Biden's price controls in the Inflation Reduction Act. This policy punishes cancer patients by targeting the faster, less invasive treatments they overwhelmingly prefer with a policy that makes this innovation disappear. There is still time to stop this, but only if you make your voice heard. Tell your senator to stand up for cancer patients by standing up to Washington bureaucrats. Protect the treatments patients prefer and deserve. Make your voice heard at americancommitment.org/cancer.

The midterm elections are here. If DSA Democrats win, they'll push a radical socialist agenda and drown President Trump in endless investigations. We've seen their playbook before. They tried impeaching him. They tried putting him in prison. They've tried everything.

Don't let them win. Because if we lose, they'll undo everything our movement has fought for. I need you to vote early. You can bank your vote and fight back against the left's turnout machine.

Good Tuesday to you.

Josh Holmes (3:56)

Welcome back to an action pack week here at the Ruthless Variety Program. Josh Holmes along with comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook left to right across your radio dial. Listen, we're getting down to it, fellas. There's not a lot of days between now and the midterm elections. A lot happening. And we announced last week we were going to do a fourth show.

So we're going to do that this week. And one that is entirely focused on getting up to date on what's happening in all these states in terms of bowling and ads running and what things are looking like.

Comfortably Smug (4:33)

And it's great because it's like not just that there's more content than we could even fit into three episodes. What this is about is the polls, the movement, the things that are happening, the ad buys that are happening. What we're seeing from the candidates, what we're hearing from folks down there in the states individually, we're getting all that information, so it's like you're one stop shop.

Michael Duncan (4:54)

Well, and things are moving very quickly in this election season.

SPEAKER_8 (4:58)

For better and worse.
