Representative Tom Suozzi

government, the largest drug purchaser in the world. through Medicare and Medicaid, using our power to negotiate prices will save us a lot of money. So it's such common sense. We passed the bill in the Biden administration where, you know, we can negotiate the prices for like 10 drugs. I mean, we should be doing this with all the drugs.

Let me just follow up on one thing about the primary system, what the problem is. We have 435 seats in Congress. Of the 435 seats in Congress, 380 of those seats are safe seats you can't lose because they're gerrymandered, they're drawn. You pack all the Republicans in 190 seats over here.

They're usually pandering to that small base of people that vote in the primary because they don't have to listen to the people, the whole population, because they're going to win the general election. They only have to listen to this small group that can kick them out in the one way they can lose, which is in a primary. So they pander to those extremes instead of talking to the people generally.

Right, in the next couple of years. And you'll see a response from the people for the things that are not popular, because some of the things that are happening right now, as we've seen, are not popular. People don't like to see the prices going up. They don't like to see the stock market going down.

They want a secure border, and the border is more secure now than it was before, but they don't like people being shipped away without going through due process. They don't like us treating our allies the same as we treat our adversaries. So these certain things are unpopular.
