What are Donald Trump's inhumane policies?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is brutally screwing over his own voters. Those in the red states are going to be hit the hardest based on Donald Trump's schemes and scams. Don't trust me. How about 2017 J.D. Vance? Play the clip.
Molly Jong-Fast 0:14
And as we've been talking about, this is not just a policy problem. There's obviously a significant issue of folks potentially losing access to their health care. But if you think of the political problem, you know, folks have always asked, what is it that's going to drive Donald Trump's voters away from them? Well, losing their health care may actually be the answer to that question. And unfortunately, the Republicans, who I think have been very smart and frankly correct in the fact that Obamacare hasn't solved a lot of the core problems of the American health care market, now own the problem. They're going to learn very quickly, unless they craft a better bill, that it's not just enough to critique the bill that has failed in the past.

You have to actually offer a better alternative. And we're going to see if the Senate is able to actually put forward that alternative.
Ben Meiselas 0:56
Democrats have also been. We all know under the new GOP budget scam, 13, 14 million Americans are going to lose their health care. They're going to lose access to supplemental nutrition assistance program food stamps. They're going to lose access to programs that provide cost of living and rental assistance. But. There's no longer regulation on silencers and silencers get tax exemption. So I guess silencers were a big winner. Also, of course, billionaires and oligarchs were a big winner, getting trillions of dollars in tax cuts from stealing from the poor. Then you've got these like Trump officials like Jeanine Pirro. making these like selfie videos of herself, like Jeanine Pirro, that yes, the Fox host is now the top federal prosecutor in Washington, DC.
Ben Meiselas 1:44
And she's like making selfie videos, whining over water and that she has to pay $7 for what, I don't even know what she's whining about, but let them eat cake, huh? Here, play this clip.
Judge Susan Crawford 1:56
Hi everyone, it's Judge Jeanine. I'm at the water cooler in the United States Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. And you may recall that the United States gave something like $44 billion a year through USAID for things like dance classes in Wuhan, China, and Sesame Street in Iraq. But here in the United States, in the United States Attorney's Office, where we prosecute crime on behalf of the victims, On behalf of the people who are targeted by criminals, the U.S. attorneys, as well as the staff, in order to get water, they have to join a water club. And they have to pay. It's a dues-paying membership. And today they asked for our patience. Why? Because we couldn't get water delivered today. Today there was no water delivered to the United States.
Ben Meiselas 2:45
That's what they're doing. I mean, you just can't make this stuff up. And also, Donald Trump last Thursday had his meeting with his meme coin wallet holders. Most of them are from foreign countries. And here, Donald Trump's... Press Secretary Chief Propaganda says you're not going to get to know who was there because this is his personal time. He's on personal time, so we don't know the people who have paid millions of dollars to buy access. You're welcome. Thanks for being here. Garrett, go ahead.
Garrett Haake 3:20
Caroline, you guys are very proud of your record on transparency. I have two transparency-related questions for you. Sure. On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president?

How will Trump's policies affect healthcare access?

Ben Meiselas 3:34
Well, as you know, Garrett, this question has been raised with the president. I have also addressed the dinner tonight. The president is attending it in his personal time. It is not a White House dinner. It's not taking place here at the White House. But certainly I can raise that question and try to get you an answer for it.
Garrett Haake 3:50
OK. And on the Qatari aircraft, the Air Force has said they're going to classify.
