| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com. |
| 0:06.5 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:15.9 | well, there's nothing you can't pass on the Savage Lovecast. Honestly, you can't pass on Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:23.6 | Honestly, I don't know where to start this week. |
| 0:27.6 | I could start with how Trump's efforts to gut Obamacare halting the Affordable Care Act's cost-sharing payments to insurers. |
| 0:34.4 | That's going to result in not just fewer people having health care. |
| 0:57.2 | It's not just going to disproportionately hurt people living in states that voted for Trump. It's also going to cost the federal government an additional $200 billion.

| 1:31.2 | Don't do nothing, Democrats. |
| 1:33.1 | Or we could start with the piece in The New Yorker this morning right when I was sitting down to record about Vice President Mike Pence. |
| 1:40.3 | Apparently, Donald Trump thinks it's hilarious that his VP wants to hang gay people. |
| 1:46.1 | So here's hoping Robert Mueller indicts Pence, along with Trump Ivanka Donald, Jr. Jared, |
| 1:50.1 | Rince, Steve O'Bannon, and the rest of Vladimir Putin's he-ha gang. |
