And welcome to the Dom Salvia show.
Thank you so much for hanging out with us You can be a part contribute to this fine programmed call us or text us same number 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 Civic got just piece working hard on the board for you folks today And we got some breaking news we want to share with you ABC news is reporting judge orders Trump administration to preserve signal chat
on Yemen strikes.
The messages had been set to delete in violation of record-keeping requirements.
Now we are already past a week, so it's certainly possible that they're gone.
At least the original
ones.
The original ones.
We got the
screenshots
obviously.
We have screenshots and we did see...
for those of us who read through the screenshots that it looks like the setting had been changed from four weeks to one week and then at the end of this exchange back to four weeks.
So potentially there's still something in that chat.
Yeah, but that really came down to they this broke the other day.
So,
you know, they may have gone in there.
They're burning the records.
I mean, the old, the old, you know, man, back in the old days, you had to get the 55 gallon drum, right?
Put a bunch of gasoline and paper in it and burn it all
on the one hand.
Things are so much easier to get rid of, but also
them screenshot to forever.
Yes, yes, they are.
ABC News reports, federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to preserve the contents of the chat in which top national security officials use the signal app to discuss military strikes in Yemen as they were taking place earlier this month.
Let's use the app.
Hey, they got an app for that.
Let's go bomb some places.
Hey, we got an app for that.
That's a great idea.
The U S district judge, James Bosberg ordered the top cabinet officials named in the lawsuit by the government transparency group, American oversight.
Check them out folks.
I follow them or the on my radar, American oversight to retain any messages sent and received over signal between March 11th and March 15th.
Benjamin Sparks, the lawyer representing American oversight, raised concerns that these messages are in imminent danger of destruction.
Due to the settings within signal that can be set to delete messages automatically, prompting the judge to order the Trump administration to file a sworn declaration by this Monday to ensure the messages are preserved.
Yeah, did he give him a verbal order or a written order?
Right, because this is that same judge, Judge Bozburg, who issued the ruling saying that the Trump administration could not deport people based on that 1798 wartime act and...
critically and in the verbal order, turn those planes around.
Do you understand my order?
Yes, Your Honor.
Ah, but apparently some other people did not.
Yeah, same
judge.
And Trump's really mad about that.
Now these judges are assigned randomly.
Right, this just happens to...
You know, and I wasn't, uh, who was, who was the judge, uh, in Florida when he was randomly, when Trump was randomly given that judge, uh, uh, Eileen Cannon,
he was very
happy about that
random selection, wasn't
he?
But not so happy about this random.
Oh, right.
This, you know, radical left judge who was initially appointed to the, the federal bench was it by
Bush Bush and then, uh, promoted essentially by
Obama.
Right.
Republican and a Democrat, thinking this guy's worthy of the role that he's in.
Man, maybe he's an objective jurist.
Shocking.
Do they make those anymore?
Can I get one?
We're trying to get one for the Supreme Court.
How much do I gotta pay for my objective jurist?
Apparently about $20 million.
ABC News continued.
The lawsuit, again, the American oversight lawsuit.
which names Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Treasury Secretary Scott Bassent, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the National Archives as defendants, asked the federal judge to declare the use of signal unlawful in order the cabinet members to preserve the records immediately as signals deleting of messages violates governmental record keeping requirements.
Uh, we know that they're going to some of the background.
We've covered that, uh, uh, quite a bit when we jumped on here, uh, interesting thought here, uh, Judge Bozber.
Oh, here we go.
According to screenshots, shots public by the Atlantic messes were set to just be at a certain time frame.
Originally messes were set to be always mentioned one week.
And then according to screenshots, uh, they were updated.
Um, Bosberg declined for now to order the administration officials to disclose if signal had been used by the Trump administration in a wider context.
When I thought, I think that's very interesting that
at
this moment right now, because this is a question everyone wants to know, right?
Is this administration using signal in a wider context?
The judge.
declined for now to order them to disclose that.
I quote, I don't think at this point that that's something I would be prepared to order.
So if you see or feel all the lights dimming,
that's all the
signal deletions going on in the Trump
administration of
all those things.
Cause I mean, good
luck.
I feel like it's pretty obvious.
Of course, they're using signal for things.
There's a reason why no one on that signal chat went, hey, maybe we shouldn't be using this platform for our classified exchange of information because it's the platform that they're using.
For everything.
For everything.
And that's, again, there's lots of cases right now, people getting renditioned.
Is that the term?
They're getting plucked up.
pulled away and set somewhere else, right?
And if that were to happen, call to, I don't know, it's bad enough that happens to folks that are, are, are, are citizens of other countries in here legally, and perhaps, you know, put an op-ed in the school newspaper, you know, criticizing the administration's efforts or criticizing Israel's efforts, whatever the case may be.
If that happens or if it happens to you or me Jess or me or any of our audience members and these cats are using signal to communicate.
Hey, go get that cat go
get go get
them Well, there's no record of that just gone
paper trails gone
just gone and that's the whole point That's one of the reasons they use it.
They've been using it since the rusher rusher rusher thing in the Mueller report one of the reasons Robert Mueller couldn't get the detailed evidence that he needed that was most certainly there is because they were using these kinds of apps
Yeah, yeah, I said it on the heels of Trump early Thursday accusing Boseberg on social media of grabbing the Trump cases all to himself the judge began the hearing by providing a Detailed description of the DC district courts automated system for assigning cases including how each judge is allotted electronic cards to ensure cases are fairly distributed That's how it works, and that's how all cases continue to be assigned in this course
Judge Bosberg said I
mean we can't be expecting the Trump administration to understand how our government works.
It
doesn't matter They don't give a damn either you're with us and do what we say or if you're against us You're a hoax.
You're at this.
You're at that.
It's a witch hunt It's a witch
hunt.
It's all these things over and over and over again I mean everything you ever find it weird that every time you know a guy gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar It's a witch hunt I mean he's very he's very deliberate in his attacks.
I mean
is actually right on schedule.
You know
he's
guilty when.
You
know
he did it when.
Wasn't it just last week that we heard from one of the secretary members, Lutnik, about who a fraudster is.
It's the one who complains the
loudest.
Yes.
And that reference about those who call and complain that their social security checks
might be late.
Correct.
Those that are...
His mother-in-law, you know, the billionaire's mother-in-law wouldn't,
but
yeah, he said the same thing though.
And he was complaining about he was doing it.
So
he was
also kind of giving a tell.
Same with this administration, same with Trump, same with, you saw the body language of Pete Hakeseth when he's asked questions.
And I go,
how dare you?
And you see this, everything's a personal attack.
No, man.
Oh, they're, they're, they're getting eight.
Well, you know, ask getting asked a firm question is not abuse, man.
It comes with the job.
And we
should be asking hard and tough.
Fair questions all the time of everybody who gives a damn man man Political persuasions do not matter in that regard.
This is coming from you know a journalist like me Hey, I asked questions of a journalist Eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five seven six, so Judge Boseburg ordering the Trump administration and you know
How's you gonna force it?
You know, if someone goes and delete something for real, hey, you got to keep this.
Just like you said, turn the planes around.
Right.
They didn't do it.
And they said, oh, you know, national seat, they're gonna say the same thing, national secrets, right?
National security.
We're not going to do that.
I'm anxious to see how the Trump administration, you know, continues to push the envelope of, you know, constitutional crisis because they got caught doing something really, really stupid and literally putting people's lives in danger.
And they don't even acknowledge it.
They don't.
And that's, and there's so many different parts of it know how the, the Cavalier way in which, you know, we go about our war efforts.
It looks like a bunch of frat boys with their, with Remoji.
What did Jane call them?
The emoji boys.
And the, the, the doge bros, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, this is pervasive through it.
Yeah.
You know what?
I want people in these roles that, that are a little more considerate.
I really do.
I don't, I don't think.
you know, emojis of the American flag and a fist bump and an explosion, you know, if that's the extent of your intellect and your analysis of what are we're doing and what we're trying to do as a country in our name to open up shipping lanes to, to what, shakedown Egypt and Europe to some amount of dollars that haven't been defined and perhaps based on the way the SM, Stephen Miller, believe in that text stream said that they don't even know this was coming.
Hey, bang, bang, bang, we did you a favor, pay us.
And who are you paying?
How's it getting paid?
By whom?
And where are you getting for that?
And if you get a little more, and where's it going?
The whole thing is terrible.
And on every single level.
Tell me from breaking the law, right?
These are supposed to be kept.
This is why Judge Boesberg has ordered them to do this.
So right off the bat, they're doing this.
In this manner to evade these open records kind of request we evade the requirements of our federal government boom breaking the law then then they go up and they try to spin in front of in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee right spin lie call what you want Not good literally putting Members armed forces members lives in danger the bragging
Bragging I don't know why why Higgs thought that this was necessary put this kind of Detailed agenda the breakdown of the timing and the weapons and all you didn't need to do that.
No, I mean, so what was that?
Well, that was that was him bragging I guess that didn't need to be done There's there's there's so many different ways in every single way you look at this in every angle in every aspect It is terrible and it is getting worse and there's no contrition.
There's no admission.
There's no nothing.
There's no consequence yet No, nothing yet
But I'm telling you Republicans I mean you got family and friends and you care about the military right make America great again Is that making America great when you're just so cavalier with this kind of thought with this kind of the effort and a war effort?
It's like it's a big party joke man.
Hey look at the emojis.
God bless.

A new topic we'll get to next.
After the calls, Trump administration has shrink the federal health agencies by 20,000 employees.
Oh, great.
Because
25,000 was too much and 15,000 not getting her done.
I will get there to your calls and texts as well.
Don from Milwaukee, you will be next.
Welcome Don, what do you
got for us?
staffer.
He was he has been aided a crime ring.
They call him a ring of cyber criminals.
And he he's what he called a muscle says he's just awesome.
He's a 19 year old kid.
And he's got a his chosen nickname is big balls.
Anyhow, good, good all big balls.
He's giving information to a ring of cyber criminals.
And
I guess they're infiltrating, uh, uh, law enforcement emails or hijacking phone numbers.
They're stealing cryptocurrency.
And, uh, so I'm just kind of wondering, hey, are our bank accounts, are we going to have any money left in our bank account?
Well, Don, I mean, that's fair question, man.
Fair question.
And it's all over the place.
The independent is reporting this USA today.
Yahoo.
I mean, this, this guy was basically what tech support for a cyber criminal organization.
Yeah.
Well, no worries.
Hell of a resume, man.
If you want to get in and do some climbing, some real climbing, come and join the doge, man.
I'll put you in.
This is, it's yeah, Don, check your bank accounts, eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two.
Mark from the sack.
You're next.
Welcome buddy.
What do you got for us?
Oh, there you go.
Welcome.
Pulling me in all kinds of different directions here.
I mean that since this information goes away, it's kind of like those old spy movies where they, they watch the little video discs now and that all of a sudden it goes burst into flames.
This
message
will
self-destruct in five seconds, man.
I mean, right?
Mission impossible.
They're still making those movies, Mark.
This information just evaporates.
So these guys could be.
Yes,
we have no idea.
Let's be frank about this.
Mark, based on the letter of the law, this very activity of using signal in this manner, in this way, is a crime.
It's criminal activity based on my understanding.
of the records retention laws, let alone, let alone, obviously the problem of putting, you know, the, the journal was done there and who was supposed to, oh my God, just so much.
So.
Yeah, these are the best, huh?
Making America great again by what?
And what are all these efforts for again?
Why are we doing this?
Why is this happening?
Why, as I get into this new topic, the new headline, why does the Trump administration want to shrink the federal health agencies by 20,000 employees?
Well, Dom, it's so that they can just squeeze just enough.
to give their billionaires a nice old tax cut of four trillion dollars.
Four and a half trillion.
Four and a half trillion.
I
mean, but you know, a half a trillion.
Half a trillion was that.
That's
only 500 billion who's counting that.
Right.
This is what, this is, this is the, this is the umbrella.
This is what they're telling us.
And it's really hard to believe.
It's really hard to believe.
My understanding of the, you know, the dashboard of
the
billions saved that continues to go up.
But we know that there was a bunch of BS in there first.
I didn't mean to look at it because.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
They've provided no reliable receipts.
There's nothing that we can actually look at and say, yeah, you seemingly have actually saved a lot of money.
What they have put up is riddled with errors and flat out lies.
Hey, we canceled this big contract that was canceled on the Biden administration That's been done
for a decade
billion dollars.
No
man
million
at most
at most and even that was like two million, right?
I mean, it's it's it's not great But this is what we're dealing with this is what I guess the people want and where's where is the savings?
Like is that in the council where like where is the money?
Where is that money?
855-752-4842.
Trump administration plans to shrink the workforce of the Department of Health and Human Services by nearly a quarter.
Officials announced today it's part of a major restructuring.
Changes announced on Thursday amount to a workforce that will be around 33% smaller than it was at the end of the Biden administration.
There were 92,620 employees at the department in September of 24 up from 81,000 at the end of the Trump administration.
Around 10,000 full-time employees will be cut.
through the layoffs, in addition to other vacant positions that will not be replaced.
Thousands of full-time staff have already left the department in recent months, in addition to thousands more contractor and fellowship positions that were also eliminated.
A quote, when combined with HHS's other efforts, including early retirement and fork in the road, the restructuring results in a total downsizing from 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees, the department said in a release,
estimating that taxpayers would save $1.8 billion from the changes.
A fact sheet shared with reporters and senior health officials says that no additional cuts are currently planned beyond those announced Thursday and in recent weeks.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy will cut 3,500 jobs from the FDA according to the fact sheet and the administration also also cutting 1,200 jobs from the National Institutes of Health.
This reduction will not affect drug, medical device, or food reviewers, nor will it impact inspectors, the fact sheet says.
How?
Great!
Great!
Could you tell me how that works exactly?
I mean, just on the labor hours alone, who's picking up the slack or were they all just really watching Netflix and listening to the Dom Salvia show?
855-752-4842, come back with us.
And welcome back to the Dom salvia show eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five Civic, it's a phone line.
It's a text line.
You got just PS on the board.
So many folks texting in reading Steve from La Crosse so tired of Elon and Donald.
Let's stop this madness in Wisconsin.
They like someone who will really represent each and every one of us.
Oh man.
That's what I'm saying.
Steve from Milwaukee.
throws out the emojis, the infamous emoji.
I mean, get in these now, the
fist
bump, the American flag and the explosion.
It's like, it's a thing now.
Steve wonders how many innocence innocent people died.
Yeah, right?
And that's, and that's the thing.
It's, it's seriousness matters.
I just think it does.
And this, this isn't, you know, party time joy.
We're putting our people in danger.
We're obviously killing other people.
I mean, this is, this isn't a video game, man.
And you, you emoji boys out there.
This is, it's just so, that's such a disservice.
It's just,
it's just terrible.
From the party that calls themselves pro life.
It's a little
ironic.
Right.
As mentioned, CBS reporting that HHS is going to.
shrink their workforce.
They're going to fire, lay off about 10,000 people, and they're going to let about another 10,000 positions go on.
filled, which will be totally fine.
I mean, that, you know, now you're down
from
82,000 employees to 62,000 employees.
And I guess there'll be no interruption in the services or the efforts that are put forth by HHS,
which is anyone who has ever worked in any healthcare position ever knows there's so many extraneous people.
So, you know, you'll be fine.
Yeah, I mean, people just sitting around doing nothing, you know, you know,
I guess, watching Netflix, as they say.
CBS goes on, they put the letter out there.
Specific notices to employees may be sent as early as Friday, March 28th, nothing like a one-day notice, but also another quote from Kennedy in the video of this announcement.
Here's what Kennedy had to say, talking to the troops.
the entire federal workforce is downsizing now.
So this will be a painful period for HHS.
It will be a painful period for HHS.
Now, does that pain, does that translate over to those who use the services of HHS?
just asking for those who use the services of HHS.
The health officials had been bracing for steep cuts to be announced this week as part of sweeping restructuring architect with the White House Doge.
Several agency officials have seen stepped up security measures coming into work this morning.
You're gonna pack up your desk and get escorted out managers have been Largely in the dark about the changes officials said and aside from a handful of changes already announced with the department We do have some sound I believe of our senator Tammy Baldwin right here from the great state of Wisconsin She has some comments about these cuts and what's going on over at HHS What these cuts will mean for us if you would just let's
Let's do Senator Tammy Baldwin.
We're talking about more kids getting sick from infectious diseases.
We're talking about less support for seniors who rely on Medicaid and Medicare.
We're even potentially talking about families getting sick from things that they buy at the grocery store.
Kennedy said earlier this week at the White House that he and the doze headed by Moscow identified extraordinary ways to my department at HHS.
Oh yeah, they did that, huh?
He said what they considered duplicated work for communications, procurement, IT and HR departments across 40 operating divisions of HHS.
We are with ELONS help eliminating the redundancies.
All right, there you go.
Efficiencies, 855-752-4842, 855-755.
Civic, Lee Roy from Milwaukee.
You're up.
Welcome.
What do you got for us?
Yes.
You know, they had announced when they made the cut of employees at the IRS that there was no delay in processing the tax forms that are being mailed in.
Well, we just had an experience, my brother did, that he got a letter from IRS indicating that the payment that he sent in was missing and they wanted to send him a new bill for that amount.
And so what we did is went to the cashier's check that was mailed to the IRS to make that payment.
So we went to the bank.
They gave us a copy of the cancel check with the signature on the back that it had been processed.
Oh, yeah.
Come
on.
When you if you call the IRS Wisconsin right now, there's going to be a voice message saying that they are apologizing because people are saying that payments are not posted and that they're behind in posting payments to the tax forms.
So I just want to let you know about that.
And if you, if you take a time and give them a call, you'll hear the message and they are apologizing for the delay in accepting tax payments.
You can imagine if someone didn't, you know, go and double check, make sure that check wasn't clear.
They went and got another, you know, cashiers check and send and have that one.
I mean, it's just, it's.
It's terrible.
Hey, thank you so much.
We really appreciate you sharing that with us.
And I think this is going to be, it's going to be across the board, man.
I mean, it's, hey, we're not going to eliminate it.
We're just going to break it.
Right.
And that will be so much more efficient because Leroy, how much time did it take out of your day?
Right.
Right.
How much time is it going to take out of every person's day when the services that they need, that they are relying on, that they've known how long it takes?
Now with...
25% fewer staff members, a third fewer staff members, how in the world- Will it take that much
longer?
Will it take that much longer to-
No, it's gonna take more than that, because people are going to get burnt out.
You can't just increase someone's workload by 25%, 33%, and expect to have the same level of efficiency every day.
You can't
if you're doing it in this department now.
Guess what congratulations now you're doing it in all 40 departments, right?
You got a raise.
Well, you get you got a promotion, but you didn't get a raise correct And and to what end why are we doing this?
Why why why is it so important?
Why as as they're claiming here that this reorganization is gonna claim what what's how many billions of dollars I'd see if I can find it here quick while I talk about it.
Oh
Apparently, going from 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees, they're going to save taxpayers $1.8 billion.
Oh,
good.
So that's not even a tenth of a percent of what they need to give four and a half
trillion dollars.
Hey, you can't get to four and a half trillion dollars in tax cuts for the rich if you don't start with $1.8 billion here and $1 billion there.
And again, there is a cost to this, certainly to the folks that are getting fired.
No doubt about it.
And honestly, if you want to have a different conversation about how AI is going to impact a lot of positions, I think that's something to be said.
Finance, HR, I think there's going to be a continued evolution in many ways, certainly in the workforce.
But we're not there yet.
We're not here now.
And what is the point of this?
What is the point?
We're going to save $1.8 billion.
So they can go and give that to
The billionaires now if we're if we're here's appears also the point if we're looking for Savings in these areas.
Are we gonna really really save it or are we just going to?
reduce the taxes of those rich people and and and then so we also reduce the revenue So we're really not saving it.
This is not like there's gonna be money left over They're gonna take that savings and they're gonna reduce the tax burden on the very rich,
right?
This isn't money that's coming to us
Exactly
this this is money that is being taken away from us.
These are services that are being taken away from us
In order to
save just a little bit of money for those trillionaires billionaires trying to become trying you
know all you can do is try Well, I'll tell you what you know, you know the theory and these guys they would give it all away
Just a little bit more
eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five Seven five civic but but but not all hope is lost.
Oh, no Kennedy.
He's got an idea.
Oh, yeah,
he's gonna spend some money
Yeah, we're actually we for all of the services that we're cutting for all of the research that we're cutting Yes, we are actually gonna be investing just a little bit of money into some very very important research
We want to know is there a link between vaccines and autism
or doing this again.
We're doing this again Because you know the last study didn't go the way they wanted to New York Times report he Kennedy turns to a discredited vaccine skeptic for autism study I mean who better to lead the study than a discredited vaccine skeptic again.
That's the New York Times
Claiming this, David Geier, G-E-I-E-R, has been hired as a senior data analyst at HHS.
Well, I guess they're firing some people.
They fired 20,000 and they hired the discredited vaccine skeptic.
According to several people, he will examine any potential links between vaccines and autism that were debunked long ago.
Here's the link.
Some people get vaccines.
Some people have autism.
The link there, people.
And, you know, 98% of them drink milk at some point in their life.
Shocking.
Oh, I mean, is it milk?
What's going on here?
A steadfast figure in the anti-vaccine movement, according to the New York Times, who has helped shape.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'
's thinking on a possible link to autism has joined the department to work on a study examining the long debunk theory, according to familiar, people familiar with the matter.
David Geyer has published numerous articles in the medical literature attempting to tie mercury in vaccines to autism.
In 2012, state authorities in Maryland found that he had been practicing medicine without a license, without a license, alongside his father, who was a doctor at the time.
I mean, hey, pause the doctor and he's, he's in the building.
So I'm a doctor.
Let me just come on, man.
You know, you gotta be a licensed bartender in the state of Milwaukee.
You can't, you can't serve the drinks unless you're a bartender.
And if you're not, you, you can get around that.
So long as there's like a licensed bartender on site, you know, then you can do it.
I don't think it works the same in the medical community.
I hope it doesn't.
No, I don't.
Wow.
Wow, okay.
I didn't know that little part.
So there we go practicing without it without a license It's bad Marilyn authorities also suspended his medical license following claims that he endangered children
with
autism and exploited their parents according to state records
Huh, yeah, let's let's have this guy.
Let's have this guy lead the study
federal judges have rejected their research on autism and vaccines as
too unreliable to stand up in court.
Well, good news.
Now you got all sorts of space and money to go through this process again.
David Geyer's new government role has stunned public health experts who had already expressed concerns about Kennedy's decisions to cancel a long-held vaccine meeting and cut grants focused on understanding vaccine hesitancy.
Well, give me the money.
I'll tell you why.
People like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
That's why.
In addition, David Guyer's involvement in government research heightens their fears that vaccine confidence could be further eroded, especially after Kennedy's recent embrace of questionable alternative treatments for measles during the sprawling outbreak in Texas.
I believe that continues to go, continues to grow.
Dr. Christopher
Birer, director of the Duke Global Health Institute.
If we increase vaccine hesitancy and immunization rates go down further, we will see more vaccine preventable disease outbreaks.
That's how it works.
What do you say?
When the measles out, let's take your vitamins.
What was this?
Oh yeah, cod liver oil, vitamin A, something that does not in any way prevent the measles.
Occasionally, occasionally used as supportive.
for those who have deficiencies of vitamin A, not a cure, not a preventative measure.
You know, he probably just wants to cut the head off the cod and then tie it to the roof of his car.
Probably.
And then bring it home and have the brain head guts spill into the car
on his kids.
Yeah, definitely.
Or you could take that baby, the cub and put it in the park.
Right, as a prank.
It's
funny.
Yeah, these guys are great.
So there are priorities over at HHS.
And it's not what you think it is.
Come back with us.
One final segment will get your calls up, but you know the rules.
You know the rules.
Final segment of the day.
You got to tell us something good.
You got to put a smile on our face.
We'll wrap the day up with a great attitude.

Welcome back to the Dom Salvia.
So last segment of the day, if you guys have something to say, hit us up right now, eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two, eight, five, five, seven, five, a civic, but you know the role, man, tell us something good.
And the day with a smile on your face.
Let me throw out there quickly just a little bit more and then we'll get to the callers eight, five, five, seven, five civic RFK junior reorganizing HHS based on the.
Recommendations of the very smart, knows everything, never makes a mistake, Elon Musk.
Here's what our FK Jr.
had to say.
We aren't just reducing bureaucratic sprawl.
We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic.
This department will do more, a lot more, at a lower cost to the taxpayer.
Just
not how it works.
Now, just for the record, HHS is the umbrella agency that includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Food and Drug Administration, we don't need that, the National Institutes of Health and other smaller divisions.
Medicare, huh?
You gonna make sure Medicare is gonna keep working?
Yeah, all the, all those older, very, very involved and active older folks that are on Medicare.
They're, they think they're going to handle and put up with your nonsense.
They think that you can do more with 20,000 less people because you got what redundancies and 40 departments because there's 40 IT departments and 40 HR departments.
Okay.
855-752-4842.
Be careful what you wish for.
Ah, let's get to it.
Tell us something good.
Oh, real quick.
Cam from Appleton, you're up.
Go.
Oh, hey, something good.
I don't know.
I mean, my dogs bring me a lot of happiness.
They got stupid, derpy smiles on their face all the time, and ball is life, man.
All right, man.
I had originally called in to help
illustrate very easily for folks to understand why the return from office order and the fact that they're consolidating stuff like IT is not going to save anyone money and it's actually going to cost way more.
A
lot of the government sold a lot of their office spaces and buildings which office space whenever a company hires an employee it's about 120% of whatever their salary is is the cost to house them in office per year.
And then the...
All the office spaces are going to be repurchased.
Um, everything else costs way more than it did when they had office
space.
Right.
And Cam, my understanding, I hate to cut your show.
We got another caller.
We got to get to my understanding is that some people are going back to no office.
It ain't there.
Uh, thanks for calling Mike Clemens, civic media's sports reporter, checking in.
Uh, thank you for doing so, Mike.
I was hoping to catch you at the last minute here.
Welcome back to the show, man.
Opening day, the brewers today, how to go and how you feeling, buddy?
Well, I don't have good news for you.
They ended up losing to the Yankees 4-2.
It was dramatic at the end.
Remember Devin Williams, who they traded to the Yankees after he had blown save in the playoffs against the Metz.
So today he comes on top of the ninth.
He's got a 4-1 lead.
He loads the bases with no outs.
Oh, baby!
Oh, baby!
and uh... they you know jake bauer came in he mentioned uh... to get another run across but then devin o'aim's you know settled in and he struck out jackson trio and christian yellowish to uh... so it's not able to get it we're not able to get a lot of uh... base runners on today you know carlford almost former white socks and and uh... giant picture did a good job that will be all the guy you know one thing today was to find out so who is you know
Who is this new team going to look like?
You
know, Churio was the leadoff batter.
Yelich was the DH, Contreras, Reece Hoskins, Sal Freilich is back.
So the new name is the third base was that Vinnie Capra, this kid that had six home runs in spring training.
He had a solo shot for the Brewers at Yankee Stadium.
Yeah.
And so that was nice.
Bryce Terang, he had a shoulder injury, but he was able to play second base.
and look good there so you know it it looked okay you know it the the the brewers pitching i mean uh... pat murphy told joe buck as the game was on the spn that of the thirteen pitchers the brewers got the roster right now eight of them are currently injured so that's going to be hard you know getting into this season right and then the brewers home opener on monday
Mike Coleman, Civic Media's sports reporter, Christian Yellich.
I saw a picture of him with a fine suit paying homage to you today.
This is the first time and it's, it's hard to believe in, in how many years since you has not been a part of a brewer broadcast and opening day.
Well, you know, forever,
40 years, I mean, 53,
53, I think.
Yeah.
No, a Yelly came in with a loud plan.
Isn't that the best?
That is the best.
That is, that is.
Uh, so Mike, uh, no, I was joking when, when the Brewers lost cause you know how we fans are sometimes they're so fickle and oh, they lost the game is totally
over.
Some of you
are, some of you
are.
Uh, it's a long season.
We got a lot to go.
Um, and what do you think?
Maybe we got 60 seconds less.
How hopeful are you for the Brewers this season?
You know the thing is the ends of bitters of Brewer's seasons Dom are so bitter sweet, right?
Yeah, but then you forget These guys have gone to the postseason six of the last seven years and they've won the division You know back to back to two of the last three years or so
So, you know, Matt Arnold is the unsung hero, the GM.
He keeps fighting this great young talent.
It should be probably another good year at American Family Field.
All right, we appreciate it.
Thank you, Mike Levin, Civic Media Sports reporter, opening day brewers.
Take the loss in New York against the Yankees opening day here, I believe, next week.
Thank you, Mike.
Now, folks, stick around.
Pete Schwabber from the Nightlight is coming up next.
We'll be back tomorrow.
Have a wonderful evening.
