Ja jos hän sanoo jotain, voi mennä takaisin. Sanoit, että hänen puolestaan ei ole tarpeeksi. Sanoit, että hänen puolestaan ei ole tarpeeksi. Sanoit, että hänen puolestaan ei ole tarpeeksi. Mitä tarvitset nähdä? Mitä tarkoituksia tarvitaan? Luulen, että tarvitaan inkki paperissa. Luulen, että tarvitaan inkki paperissa. Luulen, että tarvitaan lainsäädäntö.

on the floor of the House and the Senate and signed by President Trump. I don't accept IOUs. I don't accept pinky promises. That's not the business that I'm in. Okay, so you need a signature from President Trump in order to vote to reopen the government.
Toivottavasti ei, toivottavasti kukaan ei tuntunut siltä. Luulen, että se myös kertoo ison erityisen yhdessä Trumpin kautta ja minun kautta tai Bernien kautta, joka on se, että Trump uskoo, että jos sinä et valita hänelle, hän ei tarvitse olla sinun johtaja. Jos sinä et valita hänelle, sinä ei tarvitse hyviä asioita tapahtumaan sinulle. Minä en huolta.
if someone voted for me or not. I don't care if someone is a Republican or an Independent or a Democrat. I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have healthcare. I want MAGA to have healthcare. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage. But he doesn't want

The end of December, obviously, open enrollment starts November 1st over in the House.
There are 14 House Republicans who have said that they will sign on and they will vote for a one year extension of the subsidies.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he thought that proposal was laughable.
Do you think that's laughable, or is that something you could get behind?
Yeah, no, let me tell you why it's laughable.
Because it's cynical.
Republicans want to sign on to just a one little extra year of these ACA subsidies.
You want to know why?
What's happening next year?
Midterm elections.
They want to extend these subsidies just a year extra so that people don't realize the dupe that they are pulling on everyone.
so that they can all re-elect themselves and allow those things to expire the moment that they win re-election.
And it is time to get politics out of what should be a guaranteed universal right in the United States of America, and that is healthcare.
And so I will not accept a measly one-year extension of the ACA,
We need to make sure, and as a member of the party, we put negotiations in the hands of our party's leadership with Hakeem Jeffries.
