Ben Myselish

It's two weeks.

Have a serious plan.

So I actually had the opportunity to grab dinner last night with the Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries.

And I think we may have a photo of he and I together.

And I left and I left that dinner.

feeling very comfortable that he is going to fight fight for the american people especially on this issue and we're seeing him fight for the american people and saying i'm not buying i'm not getting tricked by these republican gimmicks we're holding the line right now there we are together we're whole i'm holding the line right now looking good looking good ben

yeah no b that's a great q zip you got there i appreciate it he got showered ben i say yeah i mean exactly exactly i guess that's what it takes that's what it takes so anyway that's where that's where we are now but again going back to what i said earlier this is an issue that psychologically tortures the american people though right like this is their health care people are seeing the deadlines coming up the enrollment period right now is happening

I can't afford to buy this healthcare.

I can't afford to enroll without the subsidies.

What do I do?

This is real stuff.

This requires leadership.

This requires compromise.

This requires actually getting things done.

And the theme of this episode is that this current regime, it's not just woefully unable to meet the moment.

They are the ones, affirmatively, inflicting the pain in this moment.

Brett.

Well said, Ben.

And, you know, the one thing I'll just add before we wrap up, because I think we covered a whole lot on this episode, is...

You know, when we come up with the programming for the Midas Touch podcast and for the network as a whole, one of the things that is always our north star is, is this rooted in our shared humanity?
