The MeidasTouch Podcast · DNC Chair Ken Martin Reacts to Trump’s Disaster Shutdown · 29 Oct 2025 podcast

The reality is, is they don't want to release the Epstein files, and they'd rather just selectively decide what parts of government they're going to actually keep open.

And I thought the point you made earlier, by the way, was really important here, which is they can find money for everything else, $200 million for a gaudy ballroom that they're building, $130 million from some

you know mysterious donor uh some melon that no one's ever ever heard of uh who can pay the military they've got 400 million dollars for jets that they're finding but they cannot find any money for starving families in this country they cannot find money for the seniors who are going to be kicked out of the quarter of nursing homes that are going to close

Well, that's exactly right.

And as you remember earlier this year, when Mike Johnson decided to be a coward, as is prone to his character, and say that he was going to cancel those town halls, I said, well, you know what?

If they're going to be cowardly and refuse to meet with their constituents and actually be held accountable to what's happening in this country, we'll do their job for them.

And we had Democrats

all throughout the country, not just do town halls in their districts, but we went out and held 150 town halls in Republican districts to make sure that constituents could be heard.

Why weren't they holding those town halls?

It's very important to realize that the reason they weren't holding those town halls was not just that they didn't want to be held accountable, but they did not want those stories of Americans whose lives were being destroyed and whose communities were being shattered

to actually be amplified in any way, to actually get the attention that it deserves, right?

They wanted to bury those stories of everyday Americans who are suffering under this administration and the reckless policies that Trump and Republicans continue to push.

So I said to hell with it.

We're going to do their job for them.

We're going to go out there and hold those town halls.

And we continue to do that.

Look,

You know what?

I am absolutely convinced.

We've got momentum on our side.
