Ro Khanna

He did this on foreign aid.

He's done it on some of the things with Department of Education.

We can go through other programs.

I got into an argument with Elon when he was there.

I originally said, look, I'm open to working with Doge if there are reasonable things that we can say, but you got to do it through a process.

And they have a view.

Their view is, well, Congress is never going to do this.

So we're just going to go there and we're going to do it.

And that's not the way the Constitution works.

And so you can't expect Democrats to say, OK, we're going to give you our votes for a budget if it's all discretionary and Trump can do whatever he wants anyway with the budget.

And that's that's the basic fault line.

The second argument is over over health care.

This is just factual.

If the tax credits expire on the exchange, people who were paying about $7,000 on the exchange would go up to about $21,000.

I mean, you'd basically be kicking off a ton of people off the exchanges.

And Democrats just can't do that.

Now, you can say, well, you lost the election.

Then

I have no problem getting rid of the filibuster and the Republicans have the votes in the Senate and the House and the Trump and they can they can pass pass the budget.

But my my hope is that they will realize that these tax credits are worth saving, that they're not going to want people kicked off health care and they're not going to want these premiums going up high.
