Full Episode
more pathetic behavior from maga mike johnson and donald trump so now maga mike johnson is refusing to even take questions from the press about this disastrous budget bill also maga mike set a hearing in the rules committee at a 1am this morning or 1am in the night however you want to characterize it
hoping that the media would not cover what was taking place at all to try to push through this budget bill through the Rules Committee literally at 1 a.m. while Americans are sleeping. And I previously showed you how MAGA Mike was handing out talking points to his fellow MAGA Republican Congress members.
to try to discredit the nonpartisan CBO, Congressional Budget Office, by calling it a leftist, radical extremist organization that hates Donald Trump, despite the fact that MAGA Mike Johnson and other members of Congress previously cited to the Congressional Budget Office's nonpartisan reports
when it suited them to try to attack former President Biden, when what would have been added to the deficit under some of the proposals by Biden are way smaller than what's being caused by this disastrous Trump budget plan, which on the small side would add about $4 to $5 trillion to the deficit. But a MAGA Republican Congress member who is not happy at all with this bill
says it's going to add about $20 trillion. That would be MAGA Republican Congressmember Thomas Massie saying it'll add $20 trillion. So let's just go through what's taking place here. We have the Congressional Budget Office's recent score that just came out yesterday, where they're saying that the GOP bill would hurt the poorest 10% of Americans while benefiting the top 10% of Americans.
And at least 8.6 million people are gonna lose their health insurance on the low end. 7.6 million people will be dropped from Medicaid right away. And 1 million people will lose their Affordable Care Act plans
i mean this is one of the biggest wealth distributions from not wealthy people from poor people to the richest americans as brendan duke explains the official cbo analysis confirms the obvious the house republican tax and budget bill isn't shared sacrifice it makes poor people poorer and rich people richer it does this by cutting health care and nutrition to help finance tax cuts skewed to the very very very
wealthy. It's a really horrific, horrific budget. It's just frankly cruel. So let's go through the data points now. First, let me show you MAGA Mike Johnson yesterday refusing to answer any questions at all regarding this budget plan. Here, play this clip.
Now, we're not going to take a lot of questions this morning because we've already done a ton of media with you in the halls. The president gave you a lot. We gave you a lot. What we're leaving to do right now is gather up the small subgroups in the House Republican Conference and tie up the remaining loose ends. I'm very confident that we'll be able to do that.
