Full Episode
So who would have thought ripping away people's health care, making prices surge even more in the United States while bragging about all the gold in the Oval Office and how rich you are and maybe adding to that now launching a Qatari military base in the United States and that's somehow supposed to be helpful to America. Those things aren't popular.
Who would have thought those things are unpopular when you actually take a look at some of the states that were voting for Donald Trump in this past election, whether you look at Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, you look at it, Donald Trump's deeply underwater in these states. I just think people want normalcy. They want promises kept about making things affordable.
I think people are just seeing in particular what's going on with this government shutdown as their health care is being ripped away and They're absolutely livid. I mean, just take a look right here. Let's go to Arizona. Let's take a look at Arizona's fifth congressional district because this guy is running for governor. He's the Republican candidate, Andy Biggs.
Andy Biggs says we're not going to talk to Democrats about giving people health care at all. They're terrorists. We don't talk to terrorists. Okay, Andy, let's take a look at your district right here because in 2024 or 2025, a couple earning $82,000 a year, they're paying $492 a month in premiums on their Affordable Care Act plans.
plan um but if the affordable care act subsidies are not extended they'll be paying what three times as much one thousand four hundred and eighty one dollars a month what family making eighty two thousand dollars a year is able to afford close to fifteen hundred dollars a month so andy maybe you should do what we teach fifth grade students to do in american government classes which is
You talk to the other side. You figure it out. You don't rule like dictators. By the way, this is what Big said. Just so you know, he called him a terrorist. Yeah, watch what Big said. Here, play this clip.
I don't think you should be negotiating with these people because they're political terrorists just like they are domestic terrorists. I think they do.
I think they care about health care. And I think they want to open up the government, but ensure that people get health care and not just billionaires are the ones getting subsidized. And then Andy Biggs has said that we need to eliminate all courts, just get rid of federal judges.
Just if the federal judge doesn't, you know, rules against Donald Trump, I guess the federal judge in Portland, Oregon, for example, who ruled against Donald Trump. Are these the types of judges who need to be eliminated? Here, play this clip.
