[0:31] We will give you the same level of access that Trump has given to Elon Musk and
[0:34] these other right-wing billionaires
[0:36] That's what the Democrats are doing right now. Democrats are also doing this
[0:40] You know what they're doing aside from Cuomo seen as possible White House
[0:43] candidate by some Democrats aside from running for New York
[0:46] Mayor, whereas the other thing that the Democrats are doing hold on
[0:49] Let me see if I can find it real quick
[0:51] I
[0:56] retweeted it earlier today if you want to understand where the
[1:00] Democratic party's attitudes are where they're going. Okay. Here. This is who
[1:06] they picked to represent the party and respond to Trump's speech
[1:09] Eliza
[1:12] Slotkin she was the first Democrat ever endorsed by Liz Cheney voted for the
[1:16] Lake and Riley Act

[1:21] undocumented of doing a crime?

[1:25] Okay, which is a violation of the Constitution anyway violence due process
[1:30] Empowering Trump to detain people without due process and is a top Democrat
[1:35] voter of Trump's and is a top Democratic voter of Trump's cabinet
[1:39] Okay
[1:41] As a senator one of 12 Democrats who voted for the anti-migrant lake and Riley
[1:45] act that empowers Donald Trump's ice to detain people without due process
[1:48] voted for eight of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees while his administration
[1:51] dismantles the entire government as a house member
[1:53] She was one of 62 Democrats who joined a hundred and forty eight Republicans to
[1:57] express disgust at South Africa's
[1:59] international court of justice suit accusing Israel of genocide and
[2:03] To praise the White House spokesperson John Kirby calling the case meritless
[2:08] counter-productive and completely without basis in fact whatsoever
[2:12] Eliza Slotkin also voted for the TikTok ban and the forcible sale bill

[2:31] other countries
[2:33] Eliza Slotkin as a house member voted to overturn locally enacted criminal
[2:37] justice and voting rights reforms in Washington, DC
[2:40] As a house member she voted against 94% of her caucus to bar security clearance
[2:45] from anyone who is used
[2:47] Cannabis on the UAW strike Eliza Slotkin from Michigan. By the way, remember,
[2:52] that's pretty significant
[2:54] She said you can't let a perfect deal be the enemy of a good deal. Okay. She
[3:00] doesn't care about her own constituents
[3:02] She doesn't care about her own caucus. She is a light
[3:06] Republican and that is the person that the Democratic Party is tasked with
[3:11] responding to Donald Trump
[3:16] former CIA, of course. Yeah
[3:18] She voted I'm not done yet
[3:21] Eliza Slotkin as a house member voted with Republicans against the bill banning
[3:27] U.S. A. Desati Arabia's war on Yemen
[3:29] Remember Bernie wanted a veto on aiding Saudi Arabia because they were doing a
[3:34] fucking genocide in Yemen. Remember that?
[3:36] As a house member, she also voted against a bill to remove U.S. troops from
[3:42] Syria
[3:45] And also she's a CIA agent or was a CIA agent. I guess you don't really ever
[3:50] quit being a CIA agent
[3:52] It doesn't work that way
[3:54] It's great America is a real
[4:07] Democratic country there's so much democracy look at all of our beautiful
[4:12] options. Oh my god
[4:14] I can't I can't understand how Donald Trump won the election. Oh my god
[4:19] He's destroying the administrative state. What are the Democrats doing in this
[4:23] process?
[4:23] Oh, just voting for his cabinet picks and not really saying anything about it
[4:27] and kind of showing their bellies waiting for the
[4:30] opportune moment to farm you for fucking campaign contributions once again
[4:34] Hoping that you recognize the harm that the Republicans have done and be
[4:39] fearful enough to you know
[4:42] They expected Democrats to at least win a majority in the House or the Senate
[4:46] during the midterms so they can
[4:48] obstruct
[4:49] the Republican agenda
[4:51] Well, there won't be an agenda remaining by the time the midterms come around
[4:55] if Donald Trump keeps bouldering over the
[4:58] administrative state like this anyway
[5:00] Why are the Democrats doing this don't they want to win? No, dude. They don't
[5:04] okay. They don't they don't they don't they just want your fucking
[5:08] donations and they want to maintain the same
[5:11] Corporate hegemony they want to because they're funded by the same exact
[5:16] corporations that the Republicans are funded by
[5:18] They want to look like they're marginally better than the Republican Party by
[5:23] saying hey, you know, we're pro this
[5:25] We're pro that that the that the Republicans are not in favor of hey
[5:29] We don't want to kill trans people but also we won't do anything to fucking
[5:33] defend trans people and maybe we defend to trans people too much
[5:36] We should also kill trans people. We don't we're better than the you were
[5:41] better than the Republican Party
[5:42] We care about undocumented migrants. This is a nation of immigrants also when
[5:45] we're in charge
[5:46] We won't do shit about the undocumented migrants. We won't actually push for
[5:51] amnesty or anything. God forbid
[5:52] Their strategy is quite literally do nothing and expect W's James Carvel openly
[5:59] said this by the way
[6:00] The best thing Democrats can do in this moment is to roll over and play dead.
[6:05] That's what James Carvel said
[6:06] We stand for nothing. We won't do anything
[6:15] Yeah
[6:19] But hey, we're marginally better
[6:21] Yeah, this stand for nothing and not do anything party is still marginally
[6:26] better than we want to fucking kill you party, okay?
[6:30] And then every single goddamn liberal that is unconditionally loyal to the
[6:35] Democratic Party that does not care about their fucking well-being
[6:39] Whatsoever will forget all of the instances where the Dems didn't do shit, okay
[6:44] stood idly by and let the Republican roll over
[6:47] The entire administrative state will come into my chat and be like
[6:52] Hassan sweetie are you telling me that the Democrats are not marginally better
[6:59] Not realizing that year over year the marginally better position is basically
[7:04] just
[7:05] You know the Republican position from fucking four years ago. That is precisely
[7:09] what happened with Kamala Harris's
[7:11] idiotic campaign
[7:14] Oh
[7:25] What will come the reconciliation process, it's gonna take us five or six weeks
[7:29] probably to dig through all those details and come up with the
[7:32] The final proposal so everybody just reserved judgment watch watch this work
[7:36] and you'll you'll like the final product
[7:38] I'm very excited about the moment that we're at you say Democrats are lying
[7:42] when they they say you're gonna cut Medicaid
[7:44] The plan that you passed doesn't struck the house energy and commerce to
[7:47] committee and committee to find eight hundred and eighty billion dollars in
[7:50] cuts, right?
[7:52] That's right. That's one of the Caitlin eight hundred eighty billion dollars
[7:56] and cuts from that committee without touching Medicaid
[7:58] Because ENC has one of the it actually has the broadest jurisdiction of any
[8:03] committee in Congress
[8:04] It covers everything energy and commerce, you know the name indicates how broad
[8:08] the jurisdiction is I challenge you or anybody on your step
[8:11] Do a word search for Medicaid on the on the resolution that we passed last
[8:15] night you will not find it that is not part
[8:17] Yeah, because Medicaid is a part of the expenditure that the committee that you
[8:22] 've tasked with cutting billions of dollars. Okay
[8:25] This is so stupid
[8:29] This is so incredibly fucking stupid. Oh wait. What do you mean Medicaid is not
[8:35] in the bill?
[8:36] Yeah, no shit dumbass. That's why Caitlin Collins is saying yeah
[8:40] Medicaid is not directly mentioned in the bill, but you have passed
[8:45] Every committee to cut billions of dollars. They have to cut Medicaid in that
[8:50] situation
[8:50] Part of this equation, okay? We're talking about finding efficiencies in every
[8:56] program, but not cutting benefits for people who rightly deserve that
[8:59] We you know, that's the that's a little twisted tongue to people who rightly
[9:03] deserve it
[9:04] There's people who wrongly are getting far too much far too much Medicaid, you
[9:09] know
[9:12] We're we're gonna we're gonna make sure that those fucking pours are not
[9:15] getting that extra health care that they don't deserve
[9:19] We're only going after
[9:22] You know, we're only cutting the the people that don't deserve the health care
[9:25] that are getting it
[9:26] Working requirements work requirements for Medicaid that is a something that is
[9:31] public opinion polls almost 90 percent
[9:33] You don't want able-bodied workers on a program that is intended for example
[9:38] for single mothers with two small children
[9:40] Who's just trying to make it. That's what Medicaid is for not for 29 year-old
[9:44] males sitting on their couches playing video games
[9:46] We're gonna find those guys and we're gonna send them back. Oh
[9:48] Oh, so the so you are cutting Medicaid
[9:52] Okay, got it. Oh
[9:55] Oh, so you are cutting Medicaid you're just you're just deciding, you know who
[10:01] to cut Medicaid for so it wasn't about waste fraud and abuse
[10:04] Nice
[10:08] Yeah, of course. They're gonna fucking tack work
[10:12] Assignments on to it. It's a idiotic way that they try to do this. You mean as
[10:16] man goes audience. Yeah
[10:18] Yeah, they'll they'll think it's based though when Donald Trump says, no
[10:23] It's only the Mexicans who are no longer getting any sort of Medicaid trust
[10:26] They'll be like, oh, I don't understand. Why did the federal government cut off
[10:31] my my Medicaid? I don't get it
[10:33] you know I
[10:36] Don't get it. I'm literally beneath the poverty line. That's why I need this
[10:41] fucking
[10:41] I need this additional aid from the federal government
[10:45] Why did they do this to me?
[10:48] I thought it was based
[10:51] I guess you're Mexican now. That's right
[10:55] To work that's what everybody supports. That's what the Republicans are for and
[11:01] by the way we find dignity in our work
[11:03] That's gonna be good for everybody. And I want to follow up on that but but on
[11:06] that energy and commerce committee the vast majority of funds that they have
[11:09] Are Medicare and Medicaid so when you talk about
[11:12] Not true so where are you coming from good at that committee energy and
[11:18] commerce is jurisdiction would take us 20 pages
[11:21] Yeah, able-bodied is all without dependence is built into Medicaid processing.
[11:24] He's our right lying
[11:25] I mean, that's what I'm saying there they know they want to
[11:29] They want to add additional work requirements, okay, and if you're literally
[11:34] ineligible for work
[11:36] They will find some bullshit reason and it's also an incredibly costly endeavor
[11:41] other right-wing states have also tried this before
[11:44] Okay, this failure of a program to add additional work requirements to
[11:50] government-funded health care. What is Medicaid?
[11:54] Medicaid
[11:56] Medicare is for older people, okay? Your eligibility usually means that you're
[12:01] above a certain age you've retired and
[12:03] And that's why you need it or you're disabled, okay?
[12:08] Medicaid on the other hand also works with disabled people as well
