Full Episode
Arizona voters seem to be turning against Donald Trump. They are expressing, I would say, to put it mildly, deep reservations, even if they've supported him in the past. And those who are just not even all that political are just saying, what the heck is this guy doing? whether it's his tariffs, his attacking of Medicaid, whether it's his immigration policy.
I want to show you what people are thinking in Arizona right now. So first, I'm going to show you a lady who was a Trump supporter. She considers herself a devout Christian. She runs a business that hires people with disabilities. She's worried about Trump cutting Medicaid and the MAGA Republicans cutting Medicaid. She says she's more open to voting for Democrats now. Here, play this clip.
I'm worried about Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security. He did say that he wasn't going to cut them, that he was just going to find the waste, and I really hope that he sticks to that. Why is that so important to you?
It's important because we need to take care of our people with disabilities and our elderly and those that depend on it. And they can't survive as it is right now, and we cannot cut.
Varga is a Tucson hero. Her food truck and candy store employ 50 people with special needs. She's renovating this restaurant to employ even more. A devout Christian, lifelong Republican, but some big changes. Varga says she no longer believes Trump's claim the 2020 election was rigged.
She's now open to supporting Democrats for local offices and says Trump tariffs are one reason prices are not dropping fast enough. The items that we put in our gift baskets have gone up. So when he says there's going to be some disruption, maybe even some pain, but we're going to get there. For now, you think, okay, I'll give you some time.
I'll give him some time and I'm hopeful. But, you know, I think that if he doesn't come through, he's going to have a lot of people turning on him.
I still don't understand that. I'll give him some time. Why do we treat this guy like a baby? Isn't it just so utterly obvious? I'll show you here. I'm not sure this guy's political affiliation, but he runs a factory in Arizona, and he's explaining how the tariffs are just from a business perspective, just hurting his factories. Here, play this clip.
