0.149 - 13.285 Ben Meiselas

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.

14.238 - 32.051 Molly Jong-Fast

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.

32.432 - 50.483 Molly Jong-Fast

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.

50.803 - 56.386 Molly Jong-Fast

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.

56.586 - 82.227 Ben Meiselas

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.

82.247 - 103.72 Ben Meiselas

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.

104.18 - 115.346 Ben Meiselas

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.

116.823 - 135.454 Judge Susan Crawford

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.

135.814 - 157.851 Judge Susan Crawford

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?
