First, quick reminder, you're spending too much money on your cell phone bill like you are. The reason for that is because your cell phone provider, your coverage provider is probably not telling you the truth about all of what you actually need versus what you are actually getting. So they're telling you that what you need is unlimited talk text and unlimited data. You don't need unlimited data. You need like two gigs of data because if you actually got the Pure Talk USA version of cell phone coverage, you'd have the exact same towers, the exact same coverage, and you'd be spending like half of what you're spending with a big cell phone coverage provider. Right now, you can get unlimited talk, text, and two gigs of data for just 20 bucks a month. And if you go over on that data usage, Pure Talk USA will not charge you for it. So, why exactly are you spending as much money as you are on your cell phone coverage right now? There is no reason to do so. Save a bundle of money.

senators voted against the COVID relief bill. And in the House, it was like low double digits

of people who had actually voted against the COVID relief bill. So finally, the checks were out

the door. Everything looked like it was fairly solid. And as I went through yesterday on the program, there were some things that I think were wrong with the bill, like many things that were wrong with the bill.

The biggest thing that was wrong with the bill is that, as always, every giant bill from Congress is a crap sandwich.

And for ease of passage, what had happened is that the federal government, the legislature,

they had actually put together the omnibus budget bill, which is $1.4 trillion.

They'd put that together in one giant package with the COVID relief bill.

So many of the complaints you were hearing about money going to Israel, for example,

or about money being spent on the Kennedy Center, all of that was in the omnibus package.

It wasn't necessarily in the COVID relief bill as it was originally constituted, right? They were passed together, but they were actually two separate bills. So last night, President Trump decided that now that the thing had been passed, now that it had been negotiated, now that had been passed, and this was a better version of the bill than what Democrats had proposed earlier or even than Steve Mnuchin had been proposing to Nancy Pelosi months ago.

Remember, Democrats turned down a $1.8 trillion deal just a few months ago, and in return,
