The MeidasTouch Podcast · Rep. Janelle Bynum Shares Playbook for Dems Winning in Red States · 22 May 2025 podcast

So that the American public knows what this bill does. One of the little things that it does, would you please read page 901, line 20?

Oh, he doesn't want to read it. I'll read it.

It was a question. We would read it. So I'll ask Ranking Member Moore to read the text. This is in their bill. They don't want to read a line from their own bill. Ranking Member.

Okay, I am, I am, this is amazing.

So they're going to repeal, they're repealing an excise tax. On tanning beds. Okay, so if you have a tanning bed, you get a little bit of a tax break. And if you need a hospital bed in rural America, I'm sorry, you're out of luck. Right? And I don't know where this particular provision came from.

We do know that there are certain elected officials who appear to have a certain orange hue about them, that maybe they want to make sure that tanning beds get a little bit of special credit. But really, really, we are prioritizing tanning beds over hospital beds in rural America.

The MeidasTouch Podcast · Trump Witnesses Collapse Under Cross-Exam at Hearing · 15 May 2025 podcast

Hey, I had a town hall. I had a fire captain show up to this town hall. Somebody who worked at Ground Zero. And he is somebody who said he was diagnosed with cancer. He said he's on borrowed time. And he was livid, absolutely livid about what he said, the administration gutting the World Trade Center health program.

And we've talked through some of these cuts that have happened before, some staff cuts, some maybe brought back on, the administrator cut. I just need to hear from you. I promise as fire captain, I'd ask you about this. What in the world happened? Why was the staff cut for this program? What are we to expect going forward? I restored the staff to the program. Why was it cut to start with?

Were you unaware or were you aware that the decision to cut NIOSH staff would cut that World Trade Center health program?

I don't think you were trying to be as careful as you can. I mean, that's the problem that we've seen by rushing these decisions forward. This was, I know, early in your time there.

So where is this going to land now? Can you tell us right now that the World Trade Center health program will go back to where it was before you became secretary?

The MeidasTouch Podcast · Republicans Caught Altering Evidence at Major Hearing · 11 May 2025 podcast

Right here for transparency. Let's go. Did you recently change your social media profile from public to private?

Okay. Was that before or after you got wind that you might end up being here today?

Also happened to be right after you found out that you might be here. Correct? Correct.

Yes, that is April 14th. And he did it after. So I'm going to give you another F, two counts for transparency.

placed on leave FBI employees responsible for the investigation of January 6th. That sounds political to me.

So if they were investigating January 6th, you believe they were violating an ethical obligation?

Well, you did place on leave an analyst responsible for investigating Russia's meddling in the 2016 election. Is that politicization? Is that retribution?

With all due respect, this whole argument about these Venezuelan gang members or people who say they aren't in a gang but they've got MS-13 and code on their knuckles. That's a fake photo. Well, whatever it is. You've also sat here and argued against using tattoos to say if someone's a member of MS-13.

So anyone who has a tie to MS-13 or the government suspects of it, if you tell me that they deserve due process, I'll tell you that I know Lake and Riley's dad and I would go out and kick every one of them off out of this country just because of Lake and Raleigh. So when Frederica Wilson said something like more people are getting rolled up because of Lake and Raleigh, you're damn right they are.
