Tim Faust returns to the show to look at the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and its dire consequences for American medicine. We discuss Medicaid as a load-bearing feature of our healthcare infrastructure, how this bill will affect millions of Americans using the program, and the potential ways forward in the wake of its evisceration. We also look at last week’s absolute omnishambles article on Zohran’s college admission, a perfect encapsulation of the Failing New York Times approach to just about everything.

My ass is full of cum and I must fart 🥵 💨

Mike Mariano

Love Tim and I hate that we only bring him around to give us bad news. I am thankful that he keeps himself upbeat. Not to lib out, but I hate looking at Trump’s face in the thumbnail. This guy sucks!

John LeTourneau

Every needs to stop using Medicaid and start embracing big N2O

JD Nonce

Masturbating on Onlyfans with my left hand to afford surgery for my right hand which was crushed in a car door. The pain is intense because my wounded right hand is not yet treated, but I can still cum to earn that money because I took a 30mg edible 🇺🇸🦅🍆💦

Trebor

President Grimus

Reed

I have no butthole yet I must fart

Reed

This is definitely going to get my mom kicked off Medicaid, but anyway this podcast turned me gay

Reed

That thing about the autistic kid with the job probably going to lose it due to this bill is sad around 30:10

Hot Rod

Mudhoney.

Ana

There are only a couple of states with Medicaid exemptions specifically for autism - which for all the jokes people make legitimately has one of the highest rates of unemployment of any disability and on average results in a significantly shortened lifespan in the U.S. but is also extremely difficult to actually get SSI for. It can take years to get approved even for ASD Level 2 DX'd individuals, and that's assuming the autistic person has family or a social worker who can help them navigate the bureaucracy (many actually don't, despite constant panglossian assumptions to the contrary). One of the justifications I've heard for this in my state - no kidding - is that Medicaid expansion has made such an exemption unnecessary. 🤦‍♀️ On top of that, the job market in many places is going to hell. These bullshit "work requirements" are going to be murder.

Jonny on the spot

Anyone else hear a phone being failed around 12 minutes?

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 2 minutes and 58 seconds

Frank

Yes lmfao

Comrade Trash Panda

Do the Democrats have one of Tim's kids? Trying to figure out why he's so terrified to even imply that the Dems are complicit in all of this

Quadabyte

28:04 Will just described Google stadia, and we all know how well that went.

Throw Away

Moving back into my moms basement and grinding death stranding 2 so JD Vance knows that im against this bill

justdave

This is the pyramid on your fukn money.

Brent

I’m not sure the polling on low awareness of this bill is accurate. It’s just anecdotal, but many of the politically ignorant people in my life are actually talking about this / how bad it is.

Brent

Will’s “good cop, bad cop” description is a better take

Zen Ben

"The biggest retrenchment of healthcare capacity in the U.S."

Pancy Nelosi

The NYT is so disgusting. It’s always been better as toilet paper and not as a source of honest reporting.

Jordan

Cuz hes a lib. Hes a cool lib but hes a lib at heart

Kentucky Shitlib

Im old enough to remember when the NYT helped manufacture consent for our invasion of Iraq.

Natalie

Polling is always a limited scope, but maybe more people have become aware since its passing

Blank

We love Tim don’t we Faust

Cullen S

Just preordered my copy of Year ZERO yesterday! Pretty goddamn pumped about it!!

Conor

Mayor McCheese, sir: this bill will kick 16 million Fry Kids off of the dollar menu! Have you no shame, sir!?

T

How does anyone still trust the NYT at all? Do people just forget everything immediately?

T

It's shameful that the best thing in the NYT is Wordle, a game. And they even made Wordle worse (e.g. censoring "fetus" because of Dobbs)

T

He really looks like he's played Galaga while eating a reuben

Hardcore Virgin

I know this is the least relevant thought but I’ve had it since the game came out. Felix what is your opinion about the death stranding games

Doug Cartel

It's fine, we can just finance healthcare via 24/7 twitch stream donations

Standing the Gaff

ATTN: Chris and Will RE: NYC trains + labor + shitty NTSB This is right up Chapo's alley. There is a campaign to reinstate unjustly fired MTA worker, Andy Valentine, who was fired for doing his job and being a hero during the Jan.2024 subway crash that injured dozens. Here is the GoFundMe link. Not sure the actual contact info but he is a member of TWU. https://www.gofundme.com/f/we-need-you-chip-in-now?attribution_id=sl:031fb059-b339-40eb-b703-8ecf4cd55dcb&lang=en_US&ts=1751501491&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=native_options

Another thing that normal people cannot afford at all without massive federal subsidies propping up the industry is gasoline

Mungo Franczak

Looking forward to the Gaming Grindset ep ranking the Death Stranding 2 feet

Benj

Tim Faust!

LET ME DELETE MY ACCOUNT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES

the demanded perfectionism from such failed sad people, people who revel in telling everyone "theres actually people worse off, so..." at the Lower/Middle Class Children With Cancer rally, it's a really disgusting trait.

hrtzgod314

I think they're talking about how aware people were of Medicaid cuts, specifically

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

"Elon Musk is 'African-American'. Checkmate liberals" "Why Zohran Mamdani claims he's 'African-American'!

Seth Baker

This hit real close my mom is actually going to her disability meeting today to see if she finally qualifies after 2 years of Dr appointments and mountains of paperwork if I wasn't living with her I can't even think of how she would survive

Brent

Most of the “this bill is bad” talk is specifically about how many will lose Medicaid. But again, anecdotal on my part

THEKILLERWHALE

As much as Tim is convinced of the importance of explaining that the healthcare bill is bad and that it has very direct consequences for a huge portion of people, the remarkable thing is just how resistant people have been to this kind of information. From the huge number of stories of people with deported spouses weeping and saying that they would still vote for Trump again, or just how much cognitive dissonance we find in our own parents, the dominant motive in the boomer brain is simply to not get owned. They will cut off their own hand rather than that.

Mac

As a former theater kid I can’t agree with Felix more. Theater kids grow up to be real estate agents or lead an insurance or dentist office, they are NOT writing articles.

Trebor

Thank you JD, that was beautiful

Jacob Garza

I played using the free NYT games app and the Zohran piece made me delete it. Fuck those assholes getting even a penny from me in ad revenue

Amanda LaMountain

I'm afraid they're gonna JFK Zohran. The people who want him to lose, also want him dead. *All* of them.

Jonathan Thomas

They say that murdering the families of the 1% won’t matter, but I feel like no one’s really given it any concerted effort

K H

Mamdani is from Uganda no? So he is African. Is there controversy around this? Not all African Americans are Black. Shocking as this may be to people. Race is as made up as gender though engaged with more honestly in that it understands you can't totally control the perception of others which ultimately defines it. For more information, see the body of work of one Solomon Chow.

Invarios

we may be culling poor people and kidnapping children but at least we'll use that money to build the least interesting ace combat superweapon

K H

There was that lady that saw she saved money with Obamacare and just argued against math. These are the same people inserting a ball peen hammer into their urethra and saying they don't know how it got there 20 years later when they go in for abdominal cramps. They will push a calcified shop tool through their urethra or literally die before admitting they're wrong. Remember when that one guy was talking about how money wasn't that important when Trump's tariffs were spiking the economy into the ground?

K H

Sorry man. You're doing well by her.

K H

Kind of wonder if they will cut that as well. Makes as much sense as cutting SNAP and medicaid. Maybe because they buy gasoline they are smart enough to understand not to? Obviously Trump doesn't buy it, but he knows gasoline being cheap=good.

Karl Childers

i'm a 35 year old who lives with his mom & only works part time. sorry guys, this one is on me, my bad.

Peanut Horse

Culling everyone that lives more than 20 miles from a big city so we can build the golden dome that will just immediately start shooting commercial airplanes every 4th of July

Gubriel

Tim Faust is a great guest

Seth Baker

Thank you I appreciate that

Erik Weissengruber

Creamy takes his nom-de-phrenology from a French colonial race law in Algeria. Deep creep cut.

K H

Finally Felix has a friend to talk to.

Nate Franz

“Passive Aktion T-4 ” 😆😆😞

Eric

I've been on Medicaid for 18 months now and it fucking rules, literally fixed a limp that I was walking around with for 4 years. Also, the streaming services are becoming healthcare-ized because now Hulu and Netflix lock out my home IP as being "not in the household" and I have to contact support just to watch my stories, so a coupon to watch Bosch would actually be a pretty good deal

T

You can play Wordle here without going on an NYT app/site: https://wordle.linkaiwu.com/ It's always the same word as the one the NYT uses that day.

K H

We should start a Defense of Israel party and get Democrats and Republicans to join. To get their platform maximum possible exposure for how popular it is. Take the ambiguity out of it.

ERIC

I will wait til the paywall comment section to ask about guns.

K H

Hell yea Elena.

Zach Pierce

We are all sick of this badtard. Ten (will be 13) years of one fucking person being omnipresent will drive any normal human insane. Ready for his dirt nap!

Urdnot Wrex

I would support this current administration if they actually develop a Metal Gear, but so far we are only on track to develop the Patriot AI so no thank you buddy

Natalie

Can anyone enlighten me as to what Mamdani should've put for his race if not Asian/African American? I feel like it's not exactly the most wide-ranging options most of the time, and he comes from a diverse background no?

Keef McSpleef

Who the fuck gave Will the T-slur pass? Bro’s saying it with no hesitation. Hesse, I’m coming for you!! /hj

Michael Hess

Tim so badly wants a Democrat party we can be proud of.

Jerry Cornelius

Will is right. Good cop, bad cop is correct. Faust says he doesn’t want to imply that Democrats supported this bill, having just described their total abdication of duty, ASIDE from zesty speeches on the House and Senate floor. All the Democrats have to do is deliver a sassy rebuke of the bill in (planted, hopefully viral) videos and register hopeless votes against it. These one-act morality plays preserve their brand without requiring a genuine application of pressure behind the scenes. This is the architecture of neoliberal PR. Democrats have massive networks of influence and a model of minority party success provided by Republicans, and yet they’re utterly toothless. Why? Because there is NO ideological warfare between Republicans and Democrats. Because the permanent contradiction at the heart of the Democratic Party is this: all of the popular, progressive policies they claim to support are ferociously opposed by their donors and favor-dealing lobbyists. As long as that contradiction exists, they will move right and punch left. For EVERY elected Democrat who accepts donations outside the grass roots model and plays ball with lobbyists, the appearance of opposition is theater. Heads. Spikes. Walls.

Jim Veil

Throwing in Mudhoney for us ancient millennials.

I.P. Freely

Taleb vs Felix deadlift competition live show when?

Woke Batou

Mike Israetel is the only person I know of who talks about race and IQ and isn't a total loser, but also he may have made himself stupid with steroids. He legit said AI made him cry with how human-like it's become.

Ben Dayho

Shoulda called the ep One Foot Over The Line Sweet Jesus

ERIC

There is no answer. They are bankrupt. They have nothing to pull on ideology warfare from so now they are race baiting and hoping enough libs get tied up in some appropriation shit. It's not like he's lying Liz saying he's native American because meemaw said there might be. He's born in fucking Africa and claims it as his heritage. Just like white people in Australia say they are from Australia.

DT

Dr Hardblink is a great argument for nobody actually being smart, they're just good at different things. Want to talk about optimal set/rep ranges for hypertrophy? He's your guy. If you want to be vaguely confused and irritated by an incoherent vision for a libertarian crypto fueled future with some weird self deprecation and body dysmorphia, also your guy.

Natalie

Like as far as I know there usually isn't even an option for brown people. It's usually white, Asian, black/african American, Pacific Islander, then you select if you're Hispanic or not. Like blaming him for not having comprehensive options is wild. It literally just makes the most sense for what he could do

Liam Hoover

On the topic of immigration in agribusiness, chicken processing plants hire mostly undocumented people, and in order to keep wages low will call immigration anonymously. Cool stuff

Schaeffer Mallory

Wait honestly what is even theoretically wrong about Mamdani's ethnicity checkbox lol? Isn't he literally of African and Indian descent?

Austin Williams

anybody have the porno eugenics guy's contact info. I wanna see my Columbia file for when I run for dogcatcher on a "space lasers for lebanon" platform.

Austin Williams

also remember very clearly the most conservative dude I knew at columbia loving to say "I'm an african american" as a second generation white algerian.

Munir hakim

My mom works at a county healthcare system as a social worker. She may lose her job and the countless people she helps will now just be fucked and die I guess

ERIC

You are correct.

Matthew

Love closing out with some Mudhoney!

protob1

I NEED to see that missile shield!

Kinetics Video

He never wore parachute pants and a large clock medallion, the fundamental rites of passage for Black Americans

Kinetics Video

Not even getting that. I think they're going to hire some guys that kind of look like Swartzenegger, say they're cyborgs, and have them guard obscure military bases

Chapo Bath House

I'm not American, so idk what a good or a bad SAT score is. Just that talking about a 30 year old's SATs is PATHETIC

Michael

JD Vance’s next book “Hillbilly Eulogy, the solution to a culture in crisis.”

The Real Spiro Agnew

You'd be surprised just how many Libs haven't lost a single shred of faith in the NYT

Wyatt the Wallaby

I remember going out with this girl who lived off medicade and this honestly makes me feel scared for her

Lcfitz

Would love chapo to get a healthcare worker on at some point.

Lcfitz

More specifically, some type of OBGYN that’s a female. That’s a really good perspective. It’s shocking to me how many nurses and doctors voted for trump. It’s depressing

smooth trill player

as someone who says the F word a lot, i appreciate how much Tim uses the F word

Sai

time until Tim drops his customary totally unnatural f-bomb in an attempt to seem cool on the hip new podcast chapo trap house: 13 minutes 54 seconds

etienne

anecdotally I would say no one around care whatsoever about the the big national newspapers say, in the best case they have a pet independent project with a direct crowdfunding model or they just watch Fox News and/or Tik Toks

etienne

these days I'm wondering if they're going to be able to put everyone in concentration camps in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles or it's going to be a constant open pogrom on international travelers

Tea for the Tillerman

Hope I’m wrong but I see “Medicare for whites only” happening before Medicare for all

JC

yeah like isn’t he from Uganda? lol

Jonathan G

Not that big a deal but would help Tim if he didn’t answer questions like Beto (i.e., talking about someone he met at a gas station once)

K H

Bringing the Crusades to you!

K H

Stupidity is not solely or even mostly a lack of intelligence. It is its own totally parallel thing.

Chapo Bath House

See, I believe Tim talks to guys at gas stations tho

K H

Correct.

Chapo Bath House

Dude, this is like my friend's dad from Egypt who takes great joy in ticking off a different box every census

K H

I fuckin love Dr. Mike. Him and Jeremy Fragrance were so formative for me. I'm not even joking a little bit. I did get the cologne Mr. Jeremy said not to get for reasons I'm pretty sure were vaguely racist. Women loved it. Of course I'm now I'm gay though.

K H

Hand job?

K H

Literally just wasted 1 guy and it already had good results. At the very least we would probably get gun control.

K H

I think if an LBJ type just bullied them until they cried or threatened to destroy their lives it would do. That's how I know AOC is never going anywhere, 0 kills and too much crying. Dissappear some of these nobodies slighting you if you want to be serious.

Khaqan Ahmad

love you guys, thank you for still having on experts esp about something as important and complex as healthcare.

Eamon Short

Yeah, the wonks like Tim are useful, but a true on-the-ground, in the trenches, insight would be appreciated

Eamon Short

But Mr. Agnew, I thought you died in 1996! I knew the cloning chambers were real!

Eamon Short

Dont really expect anyone to go to the effort of reading this (a real 'congratulations or sorry that happened to you' kinda post). But it helps me process things to speak or type them. So, dor what Tim says about getting on disability, I'm in Australia where the healthcare system is widely lauded and welfare state is somewhat okay. It took me four applications across 3.5 years to get disability. I got paperwork from my rhematologist, psychologist, GP, Psychiatrist, four discharge summaries from times where I had to be picked up by an ambulance and was hospitalised. I got knocked back. Being unable to afford to see a specialist directly I had to wait 6 months to get into the pain clinic and get paperwork from them. Then I resubmitted it all again. Then they said, the stuff from my rheumatologist was out of date (when talking about a lifetime diagnosis. Where the best I can hope for is remission, but I'll always have it to some degree). So I saw them, got new paperwork, along with new stuff from my GP psychologist and psychiatrist. Then I waited three months to get a call from a physician who works for Centerlink to call me. He interviewed me, said I was a solid candidate, then I had to wait FOUR months from a call similar, except a psychiatrist not Physician. When she decides to call me, I was in an appointment with another doctor so I missed the call, I had to wait 11 weeks to schedule a call back. Then I got rejected (after waiting three months again) then something similar again. Ultimately, I had to collect another fresh round of that paperwork, along with taking out a PAYDAY LOAN to see a pain specialist and psychiatrist who specialised in adult psychological disabilities and get paper work and submit it again. So it took nearly four years, ages of of gathering paperwork, a total of 20 months waiting for me to be cleared and processed through various stages of the bureaucratic process, having to wait for phone appointments with these people or those, ELEVEN hospitalisations in that time period and 880 fucking dollars to finally get on a payment that keeps my head BARELY above water. Point being, if it's like that here, my heart goes out to folks in The States. I can't imagine how hard it already was and how much harder it's about to become. My heart breaks for those people.

THEKILLERWHALE

Yeah, I love nurses, but they all have at least one totally out there opinion.

THEKILLERWHALE

They try to avoid utterly depressing episodes which this would surely be. And I actually think that they have had someone on in the past year or so who was a health care worker, but not with that as the topic. Maybe one of the E1 guys or something like that.

THEKILLERWHALE

He even wrote "Ugandan" on the form just to make sure this blunt instrument could correctly gauge his racial identity. Maybe he should have included his skull size.

THEKILLERWHALE

Alright, I have figured out how elite opinion defines African American. If you are a descendant of the original slave population, you are in. If you are a descendant of someone from sub-Saharan Africa and live in America, you are in. The same does not apply if your ancestor was from Egypt or if you are from a diaspora population living in sub-Saharan Africa. Have I got this right? The upshot is that Obama can say some of the wildest shit ever about black people ("stop watching ESPN and raise your damn kids!") while Zohran cannot correctly fill out a census form without being ridiculed by the world's smuggest editorial board.

etienne

measuring your skull to decide if i need to be condescending or just racist

Kyle Serfass

Great ep. Gentle critcism: please don't use the t-slur, even to point out how hateful someone else is for using it. If his handle had the n-word in it, you wouldn't repeatedly say his full handle for emphasis. No hate, all are doing great work.

Dang

And Chapo guys? Not so much, clearly

Dang

Tim is a fantastic guest. Appreciate that he doesn't always take the bait on the most inflammatory takes but doesn't shy away from the most serious consequences of the current situation.

pixelsnbits

I don't get the Rupar hate? But still agreeing with the message? He doesn't feel like a Pod Jon to me .. the clips are helpful (rage bait maybe but also informative). What's the issue?

George P

World Cup next year will be the test run

K H

They're Dutch and had laws prohibiting breeding with the native population they subjugated. Africa has brown people natively. So no. Glad you asked, because I figured it wasn't worth bothering to explain initially.

Nathan

He’s only of Indian descent. He was born in Uganda but his parents and grandparents are all Indian.

etienne

I love when people dunk on Joshermentun and Rupar lol of course a guy who spends 17 hours a day watching CNN or reading opinion polls is gonna have Lib tendencies. Either you just forget about electoral politics and legacy structures altogether and become a Maoist or you keep some sickos like them around to explain to you what the libs are up to when you need

justdave

Sooo... how it is now?

Chris

Andrew Hudson from E1 was a nurse. Check out Ep 590 when he was on talking about why COVID finally made him quit. It's one of the aforementioned depressing episodes

Shane Baker

The paperwork requirements also serve to convince these same people that government healthcare sucks. In this way it serves as a propaganda win, the worse it is.

Woke Batou

The Hasan hypothesis: lifting makes you gay, sad to see it. Seriously though Dr. Mike was great for me and taught me a lot which is why he legit bums me out now

Woke Batou

You see this with Neil Tyson too. Has a PhD, dumb as shit outside that field

K H

His name is Israetel and he has been to Israel. That's all I needed to know I didn't need to hear his personal social opinions beyond what he inserts into commentary on exercise advice. Like being named Reichmeister. I just won't even ask. He still seemed cool on a clip of Hasan's stream. I literally don't know his specific personal opinions and I don't care to investigate. Same for Jeremy Fragrance, who seems to not be doing well, but I wish him the best in following the teachings of number 1 best friend Jesus Christ.

At this point I'll take a Democratic Party as ashamed of themselves as I am of them

Apologies to anyone who was able to see how much of a piece of shit Natalie Wynn is beforehand, you see more clearly than I do

Mark Schneider

If Tim ever captures a Leprechaun, he has a chance at that. Otherwise, fugittaboutit!!

Schaeffer Mallory

Ahhhh I see. So the race scientists at NYT are saying he's not "indigenously" African, just African as in from Africa. I assume they also believe that all Mexicans of Spanish descent aren't Mexican lol

Chapo Bath House

And that only Native Americans can call themselves American. Whites are mostly just some weird type of German

Israetel has a 2nd channel where he espouses his personal views, such as America as World Police is good actually, and speculates on the IQs of different races etc (it really sucks)

Woke Batou

It really does. YT suggested it to me and I really regret seeing that. Bummed me out

RE: Who is a person obsessed with race and IQ with actual accomplishments? I vaguely recall that one of the DNA helix guys, James Watson, is a race and IQ guy, but also he famously stole a lot of the credit for that discovery from Rosalind Franklin.

I saw this available for free on YouTube I think. How is it?
