What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everybody. Welcome. We're going to start with something that is helpful to you. You know how I like to unwind with a drink every now and then, maybe at dinner, out with friends, or a long night after the show. But I have learned the hard way that a good night shouldn't mean a bad morning. That's why I use Z Biotics pre-alcohol. It's a probiotic drink. It is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic made by real PhD scientists, and it helps your body process what actually makes you feel rough after drinking. I first tried it at night. before I went out to a friend's party in the city, had my cocktail, got home late, woke up early the next day feeling surprisingly fresh, like I'd actually slept for eight hours and, you know, nothing the night before.
Now I make it my first drink of the night and I drink responsibly. So if you've got holiday party plans, tailgates, or just a weekend out, bring Z Biotics with you. Go to zbiotics.com slash lemon to get 15% off of your first order with the code lemon. They've got a 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked.
Tonight, eight Democrats voted with the Republicans to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution. And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote. What it does, first of all, is it raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans by doubling and in some cases tripling or quadrupling. People can't afford that when we're already paying the highest prices in the world for healthcare. Number two, it paves the way for 15 million people to be thrown off of Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act studies show that will mean that some 50,000 Americans will die every year unnecessarily. And all of that was done to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1%. As everybody knows, just on Tuesday, we had an election all over this country.
And what the election showed is that the American people want us to stand up to Trumpism, to his war against working class people, to his authoritarianism. That is what the American people wanted. But tonight, that is not what happened. So we've got to go forward, do the best that we can to try to protect working class people, to make sure that the United States not only does not throw people off of health care, but ends the absurdity of being the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all people. We have a lot of work to do. But to be honest with you, tonight was not a good night.
Thank you.

So thank you guys for joining us. Look, when I told you guys I was coming here and I had no idea that this was going to happen. I just happened to get to DC. Let me tell you my journey last night. Now I understand people are like, they're saying people are hurting. We went through the airport last night, Mike and I. When I got there, the TSA line was not that long because there were so many flights that had been delayed and canceled. I think people probably, before they got to the airport, they said, plus it was Sunday in the middle of the afternoon, it may have been a bit different.
