What's up, y'all?
Super excited for today's show.
I say let's just get into it.
Benji, where do you want to start off?
MAGA Republican Congress member Brickin, I guess he was at least brave enough to do a town hall where most MAGA Republicans are not doing any town halls.
But his constituents, in a very matter-of-fact way, had some questions for him, like Donald Trump says he's reduced prescription drug prices by 1,400%.
How does that work?
Wouldn't that mean that the drug companies would be paying us money if we purchase drugs?
And we're not seeing that.
We're also not seeing things get cheaper.
Things are getting more expensive based on Donald Trump's disastrous trade war against the entire world.
So can you help us understand what you're doing, MAGA Republican Congress members, to bring down costs to which the MAGA Republican Congress members say, oh, that's not something we do at the federal level.
That's something that the states deal with.
Not our fault at all.
You need to reread the Constitution, the MAGA Republican Congress members say.
Here, play this clip.
Okay, well, that goes on and on and on.
He goes, you don't know what you're talking about.
Well, there's also something called the Commerce Clause that regulates interstate commerce.
The Congress is the one that's supposed to be in charge of the tariffs.
