And as we've been talking about, this is not just a policy problem. There's obviously a significant issue of folks potentially losing access to their health care. But if you think of the political problem, you know, folks have always asked, what is it that's going to drive Donald Trump's voters away from them? Well, losing their health care may actually be the answer to that question.
And unfortunately, the Republicans, who I think have been very smart and frankly correct in the fact that Obamacare hasn't solved a lot of the core problems of the American health care market, now own the problem. They're going to learn very quickly, unless they craft a better bill, that it's not just enough to critique the bill that has failed in the past.
You have to actually offer a better alternative. And we're going to see if the Senate is able to actually put forward that alternative.
You know, what's so interesting about this administration is at every point, they're sort of rediscovering government, like they're learning how government works. You know, Judge Pirro, Judge Jeanine, Judge Box of Wine, as she's called, she has this, you know, here she is, you know, learning about government. It's not fancy, right? There is money that's spent for foreign aid.
I mean, I thought that was bizarre, very specious, you know, that somehow millions of dollars of foreign aid should be sort of spent on government workers. And the funny thing that government workers' offices, what I think is the funniest part of this whole thing is that
These people actually they do, in fact, like they made this whole case to their people that somehow government workers were making all this money and government was filled with fraud, waste and abuse. And here is Judge Pirro going like, oh, actually, there's not even bottled water here. So it turns out the federal government is not as fancy as a Fox News green room.
Well, with the structure, it's a question of the structure. So a lot of these blue states have high state taxes. When you have a high state tax, it means you get more money from the state. If you have a lower state tax, you have to get more money from the federal government. And those red states are the states with the lower state taxes. So they get more money from the federal government.
What does Donald Trump want to do? What does the big, beautiful bill do? It actually cuts federal services for a lot of states I mean, cuts federal services broadly across the board, but the people who are going to be affected the harshest are going to be people who live in red states. For example, Trump World is obsessed with getting rid of the Department of Education. They're doing this because
They're sort of obsessed with Carter, and Carter created the Department of Education. So there's a feeling that if they could just get rid of the Department of Education, then they can, you know. But the things that the Department of Education do, right, Pell Grants, that's college for kids who can't afford it. Title I, that's money for schools that don't have any money.
