Max, watch the video clips and tell me what is the story.

So everyone's filing for unemployment, including Amazon people, robot men.

The story is, you know how you go to a job fair and you go there and there's a whole bunch of jobs?

Well, America's kind of the opposite of that right now.

Microsoft cutting another 9,000 workers in its latest round of layoffs, bringing the Workforce reductions to 15,000.

Target announcing it's going to cut 1800 corporate jobs.

Lots of companies are having layoffs right now in this country.

Let's start with Amazon, who announced that they're cutting 14,000 jobs this week.

But inside sources say it's really more like 30,000 jobs.

You know how Amazon be double charging, so you know, they numbers might not be right.

Does anyone know where within the company that Amazon is making those cuts?

Hopefully they're cutting the job of the guy who puts the thing I ordered in a box and then in a second box and fills that with peanuts and puts it in the final third box.

Amazon is cutting jobs across several areas like human resources operations and Amazon Web Services.

Why might it be bad for Amazon to cut the staff of their web services team, the AWS team?

If you're watching Netflix, watching this show streaming, you might be getting it through Amazon.

So Amazon is also the Amazon of the Internet, I'm sorry to tell you.

I guess I thought the Internet was just sort of housed everywhere and nobody controlled it.

But you're telling me Jeff Bezos owns the Internet?

Amazon doubled down on their commitment to artificial intelligence, saying, quote, this generation of AI is the most transformative technology we've seen since the Internet.

And it's enabling companies to innovate much faster than ever before.

I mean, they're talking about putting robots in the warehouse.

But honestly, I think that a lot of times when we see these headlines like, they're not.

They haven't actually figured out how to replace people, they're just kind of using it as an excuse.

I think it's obvious the billionaires don't like people.

Not only do they prefer robots, they also don't even like the name AI.

According to the New York Times, they're telling people over at Amazon to not call it AI.

In a review of an internal Amazon document, the company suggests, quote, use terms like advanced technology or replace the word robot with cobot, which implies collaboration with humans.

You know, collaboration, like in Terminator.

It would be really funny if we found out that AI was the one that.

Can you fire enough employees to create more revenue to invest in AI?

And the other thing is, if you fire a bunch of people, it kind of looks bad.

But if you fire everyone and say it's the AI doing it, investors think that's cool.

For some reason, all the job losses are starting to pile up on top of all of the government layoffs that are happening because of the shutdown.

Next week, the shutdown will set the record for the longest in history.

What can the party that is controlling the White House, the Supreme Court, the Senate, and

the House of Representatives do to end the shutdown?

look, I'm not a political science guy, but

it seems like if there is one party, as you suggested, they shut the government down.

What they could do is push a button, turn the brake back on.

According to Mike Johnson, the Republicans can't do a damn thing about the shutdown.

Democrats are required to open the government.

They keep saying Republicans are in charge of government, we aren't.

I think Americans have had it because he has a lot of power, but

he bends his knee every single day and his testicles are in Donald Trump's desk drawer in the Oval Office.

I would suggest he's not bending just one knee.

This week, the Democrats rejected a government funding bill for the 13th time since this all began last month.

Why are the Democrats still rejecting funding bills?

If they do not reject that, then health insurance premiums on the poorest of Americans are going to go through the roof.

The Democrats haven't agreed to a spending bill because they won't budge on their demands to extend the ACA's health insurance subsidies that are expiring soon.

And without those, analysts predict that people's average insurance premiums will go up by an average of 30%.

What other big cut goes into effect this month?

SNAP benefits, the assistance program formerly known as food stamps that over 42 million people count on for grocery assistance.

That's on average one in eight Americans without a budget in place, those benefits could end for everybody this weekend.

Okay, Amber, you sweet summer child, there's no good news coming.

The good news is that thankfully, there's a $5.5 billion contingency fund set aside for the program of emergencies just like this.

All week, the White House said that they couldn't touch that money.

But on Friday, two federal judges ruled that the administration must tap into that reserve, even if it only partially funds.
