President Trump has said the federal government will send every American adult a five-thousand check if the Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate after the midterm elections. House Speaker Mike Johnson was a guest on KEEL Radio in Shreveport and says the proposal will need Congressional approval…
Cut 3 (09) “…part of the discussion.”
Democratic New York Congressman Dan Goldman called the pledge corrupt and blatantly illegal. The top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, says called the proposal a political bribe. Johnson pushed back on the idea that it is a bribe…
There are some Republicans who do not support the five-thousand dollar dividend check, because the country faces 40-trillion dollars in debt and the checks could lead to more inflation. Johnson’s argument to those concerns is that the Republican-led Congress has taken steps to reduce spending…
Cut 5 (09) “…government spending.”
The payments would cost more about one-point-two trillion dollars.

The Saints were unable to complete a 21-point comeback and lost to the Lions 31-30 in overtime. During a scoreless first half for the Black and Gold, defensive end Chase Young strip sacked Lions quarterback Jared Goff, and safety Jonas Sankey scooped it and scored. The fumble was controversially overturned despite Goff’s pass going backwards, but head coach Kellen Moore says the team has to live with it.
Young said that he had never seen anything like it but that he and the defense just moved on to the next play. Linebacker Kaden Elliss says the team had the rule explained by the referee.
The Saints forced a fumble on the following drive and allowed just 18 yards the rest of the second quarter.
