00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.620
framework to set up Democrats are too busy trying to you know

2
00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:07.960
Democrats are too busy trying to set up Andrew Cuomo is the next mayor of New

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:08.260
York

4
00:00:08.260 --> 00:00:10.800
because God forbid

5
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.760
God forbid the DSA back like socialist adjacent anti-Zionist Zoron actually

6
00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:17.800
becomes the mayor that would be terrifying

7
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.400
Democrats are also too busy. I don't know prosecuting

8
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:27.120
Children for being pro-Palestine. That's what they're doing. They're also cour

9
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.560
ting Silicon Valley tech CEOs to say

10
00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:31.320
I promise when we get back in power

11
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.260
We will give you the same level of access that Trump has given to Elon Musk and

12
00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:36.240
these other right-wing billionaires

13
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.100
That's what the Democrats are doing right now. Democrats are also doing this

14
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:43.680
You know what they're doing aside from Cuomo seen as possible White House

15
00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:46.960
candidate by some Democrats aside from running for New York

16
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.800
Mayor, whereas the other thing that the Democrats are doing hold on

17
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:51.800
Let me see if I can find it real quick

18
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:56.800
I

19
00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:00.720
retweeted it earlier today if you want to understand where the

20
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:06.180
Democratic party's attitudes are where they're going. Okay. Here. This is who

21
00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:09.680
they picked to represent the party and respond to Trump's speech

22
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.380
Eliza

23
00:01:12.380 --> 00:01:16.730

Lake and Riley Act

25
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.950
Which is the if you suspect a person who is Brown who happens to be

26
00:01:21.950 --> 00:01:23.360
undocumented of doing a crime?

27
00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:25.360
They can be deported instantly act

28
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.240

As a senator one of 12 Democrats who voted for the anti-migrant lake and Riley

33
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.280
act that empowers Donald Trump's ice to detain people without due process

34
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.340
voted for eight of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees while his administration

35
00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:53.840
dismantles the entire government as a house member

36
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.440
She was one of 62 Democrats who joined a hundred and forty eight Republicans to

37
00:01:57.440 --> 00:01:59.920
express disgust at South Africa's

38
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:03.280
international court of justice suit accusing Israel of genocide and

39
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:08.240
To praise the White House spokesperson John Kirby calling the case meritless

40
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.080
counter-productive and completely without basis in fact whatsoever

41
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.920
Eliza Slotkin also voted for the TikTok ban and the forcible sale bill

42
00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:22.880
Eliza Slotkin opposed student debt assistance on a vote supported by 93% of her

43
00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:23.440
caucus

study the impact of its sanctions on

46
00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:33.720
other countries

As a house member she voted against 94% of her caucus to bar security clearance

50
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.380
from anyone who is used

51
00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:52.750
Cannabis on the UAW strike Eliza Slotkin from Michigan. By the way, remember,

52
00:02:52.750 --> 00:02:54.240
that's pretty significant

53
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.180
She said you can't let a perfect deal be the enemy of a good deal. Okay. She

54
00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:02.200
doesn't care about her own constituents

55
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:06.000
She doesn't care about her own caucus. She is a light

56
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.600
Republican and that is the person that the Democratic Party is tasked with

57
00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:13.120
responding to Donald Trump

58
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.680
former CIA, of course. Yeah

59
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.560

U.S. A. Desati Arabia's war on Yemen

62
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.730
Remember Bernie wanted a veto on aiding Saudi Arabia because they were doing a

63
00:03:34.730 --> 00:03:36.960
fucking genocide in Yemen. Remember that?

64
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.560
As a house member, she also voted against a bill to remove U.S. troops from

65
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:42.920
Syria

66
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:50.870
And also she's a CIA agent or was a CIA agent. I guess you don't really ever

67
00:03:50.870 --> 00:03:52.880
quit being a CIA agent

68
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:54.880
It doesn't work that way

69
00:03:54.880 --> 00:04:07.400
It's great America is a real

70
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:12.370
Democratic country there's so much democracy look at all of our beautiful

71
00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:14.160
options. Oh my god

72
00:04:14.160 --> 00:04:19.080
I can't I can't understand how Donald Trump won the election. Oh my god

73
00:04:19.080 --> 00:04:23.270
He's destroying the administrative state. What are the Democrats doing in this

74
00:04:23.270 --> 00:04:23.560
process?

75
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.750
Oh, just voting for his cabinet picks and not really saying anything about it

76
00:04:27.750 --> 00:04:30.480
and kind of showing their bellies waiting for the

77
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.880
opportune moment to farm you for fucking campaign contributions once again

78
00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:39.600
Hoping that you recognize the harm that the Republicans have done and be

79
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.760
fearful enough to you know

80
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.350
They expected Democrats to at least win a majority in the House or the Senate

81
00:04:46.350 --> 00:04:48.060
during the midterms so they can

82
00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:49.600
obstruct

83
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.600
the Republican agenda

84
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.620
Well, there won't be an agenda remaining by the time the midterms come around

85
00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:58.040
if Donald Trump keeps bouldering over the

86
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.480
administrative state like this anyway

87
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.000
Why are the Democrats doing this don't they want to win? No, dude. They don't

88
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.480
okay. They don't they don't they don't they just want your fucking

89
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.940
donations and they want to maintain the same

90
00:05:11.940 --> 00:05:16.900
Corporate hegemony they want to because they're funded by the same exact

91
00:05:16.900 --> 00:05:18.840
corporations that the Republicans are funded by

92
00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:23.120
They want to look like they're marginally better than the Republican Party by

93
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.480
saying hey, you know, we're pro this

94
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.040
We're pro that that the that the Republicans are not in favor of hey

95
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.230
We don't want to kill trans people but also we won't do anything to fucking

96
00:05:33.230 --> 00:05:36.720
defend trans people and maybe we defend to trans people too much

97
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.090
We should also kill trans people. We don't we're better than the you were

98
00:05:41.090 --> 00:05:42.560
better than the Republican Party

99
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.560
We care about undocumented migrants. This is a nation of immigrants also when

100
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:46.520
we're in charge

101
00:05:46.520 --> 00:05:51.240
We won't do shit about the undocumented migrants. We won't actually push for

102
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.360
amnesty or anything. God forbid

103
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:59.360
Their strategy is quite literally do nothing and expect W's James Carvel openly

104
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.440
said this by the way

105
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:05.160
The best thing Democrats can do in this moment is to roll over and play dead.

106
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.400
That's what James Carvel said

107
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:15.120
We stand for nothing. We won't do anything

108
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.520
Yeah

109
00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:21.520
But hey, we're marginally better

110
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:26.540
Yeah, this stand for nothing and not do anything party is still marginally

111
00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:29.640
better than we want to fucking kill you party, okay?

112
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.960
And then every single goddamn liberal that is unconditionally loyal to the

113
00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:39.560
Democratic Party that does not care about their fucking well-being

114
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:44.520
Whatsoever will forget all of the instances where the Dems didn't do shit, okay

115
00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:47.040
stood idly by and let the Republican roll over

116
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:52.080
The entire administrative state will come into my chat and be like

117
00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:58.160
Hassan sweetie are you telling me that the Democrats are not marginally better

118
00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:04.780
Not realizing that year over year the marginally better position is basically

119
00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:05.160
just

120
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.890
You know the Republican position from fucking four years ago. That is precisely

121
00:07:09.890 --> 00:07:11.500
what happened with Kamala Harris's

122
00:07:11.500 --> 00:07:14.960
idiotic campaign

123
00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:24.320
Oh

124
00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:29.950
What will come the reconciliation process, it's gonna take us five or six weeks

125
00:07:29.950 --> 00:07:32.600
probably to dig through all those details and come up with the

126
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.700
The final proposal so everybody just reserved judgment watch watch this work

127
00:07:36.700 --> 00:07:38.160
and you'll you'll like the final product

128
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.350
I'm very excited about the moment that we're at you say Democrats are lying

129
00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:44.120
when they they say you're gonna cut Medicaid

130
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.480
The plan that you passed doesn't struck the house energy and commerce to

131
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.720
committee and committee to find eight hundred and eighty billion dollars in

132
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.600
cuts, right?

133
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.830
That's right. That's one of the Caitlin eight hundred eighty billion dollars

134
00:07:56.830 --> 00:07:58.920
and cuts from that committee without touching Medicaid

135
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.640
Because ENC has one of the it actually has the broadest jurisdiction of any

136
00:08:03.640 --> 00:08:04.560
committee in Congress

137
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.750
It covers everything energy and commerce, you know the name indicates how broad

138
00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:11.920
the jurisdiction is I challenge you or anybody on your step

139
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.540
Do a word search for Medicaid on the on the resolution that we passed last

140
00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:17.720
night you will not find it that is not part

141
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:22.410
Yeah, because Medicaid is a part of the expenditure that the committee that you

142
00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:25.880
've tasked with cutting billions of dollars. Okay

143
00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:29.160
This is so stupid

144
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:35.530
This is so incredibly fucking stupid. Oh wait. What do you mean Medicaid is not

145
00:08:35.530 --> 00:08:36.280
in the bill?

146
00:08:36.280 --> 00:08:40.080
Yeah, no shit dumbass. That's why Caitlin Collins is saying yeah

147
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.120
Medicaid is not directly mentioned in the bill, but you have passed

148
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.010
Every committee to cut billions of dollars. They have to cut Medicaid in that

149
00:08:50.010 --> 00:08:50.680
situation

150
00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:56.460
Part of this equation, okay? We're talking about finding efficiencies in every

151
00:08:56.460 --> 00:08:59.760
program, but not cutting benefits for people who rightly deserve that

152
00:08:59.760 --> 00:09:03.950
We you know, that's the that's a little twisted tongue to people who rightly

153
00:09:03.950 --> 00:09:04.440
deserve it

154
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:09.630
There's people who wrongly are getting far too much far too much Medicaid, you

155
00:09:09.630 --> 00:09:09.800
know

156
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.210
We're we're gonna we're gonna make sure that those fucking pours are not

157
00:09:15.210 --> 00:09:19.000
getting that extra health care that they don't deserve

158
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.000
We're only going after

159
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.410
You know, we're only cutting the the people that don't deserve the health care

160
00:09:25.410 --> 00:09:26.400
that are getting it

161
00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:31.390
Working requirements work requirements for Medicaid that is a something that is

162
00:09:31.390 --> 00:09:33.720
public opinion polls almost 90 percent

163
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.440
You don't want able-bodied workers on a program that is intended for example

164
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.360
for single mothers with two small children

165
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.070
Who's just trying to make it. That's what Medicaid is for not for 29 year-old

166
00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:46.440
males sitting on their couches playing video games

167
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.720
We're gonna find those guys and we're gonna send them back. Oh

168
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.240
Oh, so the so you are cutting Medicaid

169
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.360
Okay, got it. Oh

170
00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:01.800
Oh, so you are cutting Medicaid you're just you're just deciding, you know who

171
00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:04.760
to cut Medicaid for so it wasn't about waste fraud and abuse

172
00:10:04.760 --> 00:10:08.440
Nice

173
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.000
Yeah, of course. They're gonna fucking tack work

174
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.720
Assignments on to it. It's a idiotic way that they try to do this. You mean as

175
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.760
man goes audience. Yeah

176
00:10:18.760 --> 00:10:23.040
Yeah, they'll they'll think it's based though when Donald Trump says, no

177
00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:26.680
It's only the Mexicans who are no longer getting any sort of Medicaid trust

178
00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:31.360
They'll be like, oh, I don't understand. Why did the federal government cut off

179
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.560
my my Medicaid? I don't get it

180
00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:36.120
you know I

181
00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:41.180
Don't get it. I'm literally beneath the poverty line. That's why I need this

182
00:10:41.180 --> 00:10:41.600
fucking

183
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.480
I need this additional aid from the federal government

184
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.280
Why did they do this to me?

185
00:10:48.280 --> 00:10:51.360
I thought it was based

186
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.840
I guess you're Mexican now. That's right

187
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:01.450
To work that's what everybody supports. That's what the Republicans are for and

188
00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:03.080
by the way we find dignity in our work

189
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.150
That's gonna be good for everybody. And I want to follow up on that but but on

190
00:11:06.150 --> 00:11:09.880
that energy and commerce committee the vast majority of funds that they have

191
00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:12.520
Are Medicare and Medicaid so when you talk about

192
00:11:12.520 --> 00:11:18.170
Not true so where are you coming from good at that committee energy and

193
00:11:18.170 --> 00:11:21.320
commerce is jurisdiction would take us 20 pages

194
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.940
Yeah, able-bodied is all without dependence is built into Medicaid processing.

195
00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:25.520
He's our right lying

196
00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:28.280
I mean, that's what I'm saying there they know they want to

197
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:34.840
They want to add additional work requirements, okay, and if you're literally

198
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:36.280
ineligible for work

199
00:11:36.280 --> 00:11:41.120
They will find some bullshit reason and it's also an incredibly costly endeavor

200
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.600
other right-wing states have also tried this before

201
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:50.240
Okay, this failure of a program to add additional work requirements to

202
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.140
government-funded health care. What is Medicaid?

203
00:11:54.140 --> 00:11:56.120
Medicaid

204
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.770
Medicare is for older people, okay? Your eligibility usually means that you're

205
00:12:01.770 --> 00:12:03.960
above a certain age you've retired and

206
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.240
And that's why you need it or you're disabled, okay?

207
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:13.900
Medicaid on the other hand also works with disabled people as well
