Americans are wondering right now why the heck Elon Musk has access to their Social Security numbers, why he knows who's paying child support, why he sees people's tax refunds.
I think they're wondering why this unelected billionaire knows information about them that he has no business knowing.
And the answer, Chris...
is that Doge is a magic trick.
And the key to all magic tricks is misdirection.
Keep the audience's eyes on one thing while you work your real will somewhere else.
Elon Musk is talking nonsense and he's causing chaos and he's distracting Americans because what's actually coming down the pike is a trillion dollars of Medicaid cuts that congressional Republicans are gonna walk off the gangplank and vote for this month.
And for the life of me, I don't understand why.
I know why Donald Trump wants to do it.
He's got to pay for the tax cuts for the billionaires who sat at his inaugural address.
But I don't know why someone like Representative Sessions would vote for it.
The Texas 17th has 100,000 people on Medicaid.
The majority of them are children.
And for every dollar they get spent on their primary care visits, on their vaccinations, on their at-home care for the elderly...
The federal government picks up 66 cents.
So who's going to pay for that when you take out $888 billion out of Medicaid?
What are you going to say to your constituents back home?
are in the budget resolution.
They are coming this month, $888 billion of Medicaid cuts.
And I think Mr. Sessions is going to vote for them.
