0.069 - 1.192 Interviewer

Did you vote for President Trump?

0

1.533 - 8.43 Donald Trump

I did three times. Why? Because I thought he was the right person for the job and I didn't expect this.

9.833 - 30.04 Ben Meiselas

I didn't expect this. You know, they say all politics is local. And when you go and speak to people now at the local level, you're hearing stories like that individual, a disabled veteran who was recently fired from his job after glowing performance reviews. More on him in a moment, that three time Trump voter who now has regrets.

30.68 - 44.131 Ben Meiselas

You look at red states like Iowa, a recent town hall that was held there with Senator Chuck Grassley, who's been representing that state for like literally decades and decades. Here's what happened at that town hall in Ruby Red, Iowa.

44.151 - 87.85 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

Let's play it. My question to you is, why do you believe that President Trump is above the law? And I'll just reinforce what other people have been saying here. Why have you not spoken out for it? And we have trusted you with our votes. We have sent you to Congress for decades. We expect you to follow through on what we Iowans really want our government to do and not to have a federal government

88.134 - 96.153 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

that is being dismantled by this President Trump and Elon Musk. Please, stand up for what's right and do your job.

99.718 - 111.822 Ben Meiselas

Please stand up for what's right and just do your job. I'll take you to a Pennsylvania butcher who's commenting on how Trump's tariffs crushing their business. Let's play it.

112.082 - 123.105 Interviewer

Here, this is all domestic. But as you know, you used to work at Costco. The big chains, they get a lot of their beef from Canada and Mexico. If you get a 25% tariff on that, what's that do?

123.565 - 128.607 Pennsylvania Butcher

It's going to increase the price. The consumer's going to pay for it.
