How long 164 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: think she lasts in this building? 165 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: She drops in f and a. 166 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: Oh my, that just a stroy just made my day 167 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: to day, just made my day. 168 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: There is a reason why I love that woman. 169 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: And I think it's because I know and I can 170 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: see her, and I can just see her kind of 171 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: did she kind of lean forward and did she point 172 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: or not point? 173 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: No, I don't believe so, but I mean it was 174 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: very clear as to who. 175 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: She was speaking to, right, but she went, but she 176 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: went to make sure that that person heard. But then 177 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: in doing so, everybody else heard too. Did they all 178 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: like stand up and give her a standing ovation? 179 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: But they all did some kind of smirk and like thank. 180 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: You, thank you, thank you, But we're glad we don't 181 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: work for you yet. 182 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: Pretty much. 183 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: So the Schumer shut down. The Schumer shutdown the Schumer shutdown, 184 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: Senate Democrats are trying are tying passage of a short 185 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: term spending build called a Continuing resolution a CR. All 186 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: the CR does is just say we're spending one thousand 187 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: dollars month. We will continue to spend one thousand dollars 188 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: a month until and I forget what the date is 189 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: on this one, November second, November twenty first, whatever it is, 190 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: doesn't make any difference. Whatever that date is, we will 191 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: continue spending exactly the same amount we are today until 192 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: such and such date in the future, which will give 193 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: us enough time to pass the separate appropriations bills. That's 194 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: all we're fighting about. Is so stupid and I'm sick 195 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: of it. So they're trying to tie. This is what 196 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: the Senate Democrats are doing, and quite frankly, this is 197 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: what only five Senate Democrats are trying, because it only 198 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: takes five and well, actually it only takes two now 199 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: because Feederman and two others have already voted to stop 200 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: the shutdown. They're tying passage of a short term spending 201 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: bill to the rollback of strict immigration related benefit restrictions 202 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: that they enacted ninety days ago, only three months ago. 203 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: And that's what's triggered this budget standoff that we're all 204 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: suffering so irreparably under right now. So at the center 205 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: of this dispute is whether Congress should once again they 206 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: don't now so once again allow certain categories of illegal aliens, 207 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: including those without legal status. I'll explain why I say 208 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: that in just a second, But yes, including those who 209 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: have come across the border illegally without authorization and are 210 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: in the country without authorization as defined in the statue, 211 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: which makes them illegal aliens. Got it, So it would 212 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: allow again certain categories of illegal aliens, including those very 213 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: simple to find illegal aliens, to access Medicare, Medicaid and 214 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies. So it would allow 215 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: them again because we stopped allowing them to access Medicaid 216 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: or Medicare and the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies. Just 217 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: as short parenthetical here, isn't it hilarious that we call 218 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: it the Affordable Care Act when it's some of the 219 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: highest premiums in the entire insurance industry. So if you 220 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: want to know what socialized medicine would do to your country, 221 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: all you have to do is look at the premiums 222 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: that you pay even with government subsidies, to be on 223 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: the so called exchanges, the Affordable Care Act exchanges. In 224 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: these negotiations over the stupid Continuing Resolution to keep the 225 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: government funded, the Democrats have included language to repeal. I 226 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: know this is it's in the negative. So to keep 227 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: the government open, they've included language in their version of 228 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: the Continuing Resolution to repeal several provisions from the One 229 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill Act signed back in July. That legislation 230 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: tightened the eligibility for public health benefit programs. It restricted 231 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: access to US citizens, lawful permanent residents, Green card holders, 232 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: Cuba and Haitian entrance, and individuals covered under the Compacts 233 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: of Free Association. Before the Big Beautiful Bill Act, there 234 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: was a broader class of qualified aliens. That's how that's 235 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: the language and the bill. Qualified aliens. Now here's where 236 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: the rub starts to get kind of itchy. Qualified aliens 237 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: included parole assilees and other immigrants in temporary statuses. So 238 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: if you're someone who is here like a parole from 239 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: Venezuela or Haiti, you've been given temporary protected status, you 240 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: would qualify or you are here seeking asylum. Maybe you 241 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: came here from Ukraine and you got through on an 242 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: asylum request, or in a broader term. And I'm not 243 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: quite sure what this would mean, but a broader term 244 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: would also be any other immigrant in a temporary status. 245 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't practice immigration law, so I'm not quite sure 246 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: what that would be, and I didn't take the time 247 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: to look it up. They could all qualify. Democrats now 248 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: want to reverse those restrictions as part of a continuing resolution, 249 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: and that's what has set up the high stakes policy 250 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: fight that is causing this partial government shut down. Now. 251 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: According to the legislative text inserted into Senate Bill twenty 252 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: eight eighty two, that's the bill that they're trying to pass, 253 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: which is, as best I can tell, identical to the 254 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: House bill that has passed the Democrats resolutions. The Democrats 255 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: resolution specifically targets several of these One Big Beautiful Bill provisions. 256 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: There are four such provisions. Now, remember this is from 257 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. 258 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,239 Speaker 1: I kind of hate that. That's so cheesy. Anyway, Medicaid restrictions. 259 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: That's the first one. The Big Beautiful Bill Act narrowed 260 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: the immigration categories eligible from federal Medicaid benefits, cutting out 261 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: those in temporary or uncertain legal statuses. So yes, it 262 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: became illegal for those people to get Medicaid that were 263 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: in temporary or uncertain legal statuses. That's the first category. 264 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: Then there's a second category, emergency Medicaid funding. Again in 265 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: the big Beautiful Bill, that law lowered the federal reimbursement 266 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: rate for er services given to unlawfully present immigrants in 267 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: states like Colorado that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. 268 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: Now just a footnote here. At the time that they 269 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: allowed states that wanted to expand medicaid, all of us screamed, no, 270 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: don't do that. That's going to cost you a boatload 271 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: of money somewhere down in the future, because that acts 272 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: as an inducement, and that acts as an enticement to 273 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: get illegal aliens to come to your state and then 274 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: get on the Medicaid rolls. And that's precisely what is happened. 275 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: Democrats would restore that reimbursement to a ninety match, So 276 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: Colorado's still going to be out money, but Colorado lost 277 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: any reimbursement. Democrats say, Okay, we will compromise and we'll 278 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: give them a ninety percent match. We'll match ninety percent 279 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: of what they paid out, so we'll still pay you. 280 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: We'd still be paying out. That's the second one. We 281 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: got two more to go. 282 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: So so far. 283 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: The general the general statement would be yes, what Democrats 284 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: are trying to do is to again give illegal aliens 285 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: in certain statuses access to our medical systems. 286 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 4: Michael, I got a question, with this big budget stand 287 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 4: up looming right now, does that lends some credence to 288 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 4: the idea that DOGE really just barely scratched the surface. 289 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 4: If we're lucky, it didn't really accomplish all that much. 290 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: That's my question. Didn't really do anything the dog worth 291 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 4: all this fuss. 292 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: That is a great question, and the answer depends on 293 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: your perspective. From my perspective, DOSEE didn't accomplish much in 294 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: terms of the actual downsizing of the government, but from 295 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: the standpoint of we've never done it before, it accomplished 296 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: the whole hell of a lot by at least showing 297 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: that you can do it. And I do believe that 298 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: dose was incredibly worthwhile, and it showed that, yes, just 299 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: by barely scratching the service, you can find lots of 300 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: stuff that is unnecessary and that we don't need to 301 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: be spending money on, or that you've got too many people. 302 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: It's the whole thing about you know, you've seen the 303 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: tip and I know it's stereotypical, but you've seen, you know, 304 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: a road crew and you got five guys standing around 305 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: while one guy's down in the hole working on a 306 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: line of some sort. Well, we found that there's a 307 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: whole lot of that in the federal government. And so 308 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: from that perspective, those accomplished a lot and showed that, 309 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: oh yeah, you can eliminate If there are ten positions 310 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: in this office, you can eliminate two or three of 311 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: them and nothing changes. They they can still get the 312 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: work done. But in the grand scheme of things, it 313 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: was a drop in the bucket. Then there's this question 314 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: from Gubert ninety six twenty four, Mike, serious question. When 315 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: Colorado takes our tax payer money and pays for illegal 316 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: aliens to have healthcare, housing, et cetera, does that affect 317 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: the amount of money we get back for tabor or 318 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 1: is that a different make of money. No, it is, 319 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: generally speaking that comes out of the general fund. So 320 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: when Colorado decides, yeah, we're going to expand medicaid, and 321 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: we're going to provide it to the illegal aliens. They 322 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: are a assuming that they're going to get reimbursed by 323 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: the FEDS for some of that, so it won't come 324 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: out of the general fund. But then when that FED 325 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: money dries up, plus the delta between what the FEDS 326 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: provide and what we spend on medicaid for illegal aliens, 327 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: that delta, so that difference over here does come out 328 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: of the general fund, and they have to make up 329 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: that shortfall, which is one of the reasons that we 330 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: had this big budget shortfall this year, because they shouldn't. 331 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: They should never have done this in the first place, 332 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: but they did, and now they're facing the consequences, which 333 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: I find is so freaking hilarious. I saw higgin Looper yesterday, 334 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: really weird. He was doing it. He was doing an 335 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: interview via zoom or teams or something. He was in 336 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: a hotel room and he and he had the camera 337 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: set up so that you could see you could see 338 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: the hotel door behind him, and it's like, hey, bucko, 339 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: what you doing. We're gonna turn the camera around and 340 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: show us the baby you got with us in the 341 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: hotel room. Oh that'd be kind of interesting. Where are 342 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: you what you pay for that rumor? We're paying for it? 343 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: It's a campaign paying for it, taxpayers paying for it. 344 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: Who's paying for that? What an idiot? But anyway, he 345 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: was talking about that it's just not right that we're 346 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: doing this, and I'm going to stand firm because everyone 347 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: deserves healthcare. Yeah, okay, so you're kind of admitting that 348 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: what I'm telling everybody right now is the truth. So 349 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: I said, there were four provisions in the One Big 350 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill. There were the Medicaid restrictions that narrowed the categories. 351 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: There was the Emergency Medicaid funding section in the One 352 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill that cut back the reimbursement, which is 353 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: what it's costing Colorado. Then there was number three, the Medicare, 354 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: the Medicare limits again out of the Big, one Big 355 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill. Eligibility restrictions were extended to the Medicare program, 356 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: and it revised the definition of eligible illegal aliens. So 357 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: even if they came here and they were going to 358 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: qualify for Medicare, One Big Beautiful Bill said nope, there's 359 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: this category. Worry, We're not going to pay that anymore. 360 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: Then the last one were the premium tax credits the 361 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: eligibility for subsidies on the exchange marketplace, the Affordable Care 362 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: Act exchange. Those plans were now limited to illegal aliens 363 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: that are considered lawfully present, and it linked Medicaid eligibility 364 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: to those requirements. Democrats want to undo those restrictions, so 365 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: they want to once again Number four provide Medicare, in 366 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: this case Medicare premium tax credits to those illegal aliens. 367 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: But beyond the immigration specific provisions, the One Big Beautiful 368 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: Bill also tightened enrollment rules across both Medicaid and the 369 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act programs. And they did so. I know 370 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: this is going to shock you, and it's going to 371 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: piss me any of you off. But here's what it did. 372 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: Here's what that One Big Beautiful Bill bit did. It 373 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: imposed work requirements for Medicaid recipients. Oh, illegally, or you're 374 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: even here legally as a US citizen and you on Medicaid, 375 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: we have a work requirement for you. Now. Those work 376 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: requirements are as big as the Grand Canyon, as wide 377 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: in as big a hole as the Grand Canyon. Are 378 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: you looking for a job? Okay, that's good enough. Do 379 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: you do X number of hours of volunteer work for 380 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: some charitable organs. Okay, yeah, that's good enough. Are you 381 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: working one hour doing greeting at Walmart? Okay, that's good enough. 382 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: But you had to do something that was number one. 383 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: Number two it imposed stricter income verification and you actually 384 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: had to have an immigration status checked in order to 385 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: be eligible for the subsidy. Oh, what's wrong with that? 386 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,239 Speaker 1: The third one was there was going to be an 387 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: increase in the redetermination of your eligibility. So it replaced 388 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: the Biden era rules that just encourage that once you 389 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: got qualified, you just stayed qualified. No, the one big 390 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: beautiful bill said no, you have to requalify once a 391 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: year or sometimes even more often. And then the fourth 392 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: thing it did it put new limits on special enrollment 393 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: periods in the Affordable Care Act exchanges. Now the Democrats 394 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: are saying what they want to do is they they 395 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: want to roll back those measures because they argue that, well, 396 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: they're punitive and that it risks dropping vulnerable populations from coverage. Yes, 397 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: that's one way of putting it. I would say it 398 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: risks dropping illegal aliens from coverage, and in some cases 399 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: actually does remove them from coverage, to which I say, 400 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: that's right. If you're in this country illegally, I don't 401 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: want to pay for your healthcare. Now. I want to 402 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: be clear about something though. If someone if an illegal alien, 403 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: is in a car wreck, or they suffer a gunshot wound, 404 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: or they have a heart attack, or they cut their 405 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: big finger and unfortunately they get a cold, what are 406 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: they doing They're showing up in the ers. 407 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 3: Now. 408 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: I understand showing up in the r for a car 409 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: wreck or a gsw or you know you've broken your arm, 410 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 1: But to show up in the emergency room because you've 411 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: got a cold or your kid's got the flu or whatever, No, 412 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: that's not what an eer is designed for. But why 413 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: do they go there? They go there because federal law 414 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: requires that they treat them. That hasn't changed. Now. What 415 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: has changed is on the backside is how much is 416 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: that hospital going to get reimbursed for that? And the 417 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: one big beautiful bill said, yeah, you're not going to 418 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: get reimbursed as much, and in some cases you're not 419 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: gonna get reimbursed at all. That's what Democrats are fighting for. 420 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: They want to provide all of those benefits to illegal aliens. Now, 421 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: the Republicans. They're pointing to a study by the Heritage 422 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: Foundation that did an analysis and other conservative policy arguments. 423 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: They contend rightfully, so that loosening the rules amounts to 424 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: extending taxpayer funded benefits to individuals who lack legal status, 425 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: and that is true. And Republicans are arguing that encourages 426 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, and of course it continues the drain on 427 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: federal and state budgets, which is true. The One Big 428 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill Act reforms were carefully crafted to ensure that 429 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: only those who are lawfully and permanently in this country 430 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: received benefits. That's what I voted for, and that's what 431 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: I want. So Schumer shut down. Damn right, it is, 432 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: and it's over this now. The Democrats say, well, these 433 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: are unnecessarily harsh, and they're going to leave you know, 434 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: illegal alien families without essential medical medical care. Then go home. 435 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: Then go home. Hell's bills were still paying for you 436 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: to self deport, so pack up your bags and go home. 437 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 3: Now. 438 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: In the meantime, there's nothing I can do about the 439 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: fact that if you're you know, you're a gang banger, 440 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: and you get shot by a fellow gang banger and 441 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: you show up at general Denver General, you're gonna get treated. 442 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: I can't. 443 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: I can't change that law. I can't do that. But 444 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: if you're here because you came here because you wanted 445 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: medical care, then you know what, go home because we 446 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: got rid of that. Am I am I an ahole 447 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: for saying that, no, you shouldn't be here in the 448 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: first place. If I, if I go to if I 449 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: go to Germany next year, or I go to Greece, 450 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: or I go I, you know, instead of going to 451 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: New York this month, I go, I go, I go 452 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: to I go to London. I go to London with 453 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: the Broncos and I get sick. The National Health Service 454 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: is going to give me incredible care. You know why, 455 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: because I have insurance. I'm not in their country illegally. 456 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm there as a tourist. And I show up at 457 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: a hospital because I got a GSW or I've had 458 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: a heart attack, or I've I've broken a leg, or 459 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm just I've got I've got you know, illness, And 460 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: so I go to you know, a let's just say, 461 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: I go to an urgent care. They love me because 462 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: I've got an insurance policy that will pay that. When 463 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm traveling overseas people that go to the country illegally 464 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: do not, so with the government partially shut down, as 465 00:28:53,720 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: these negotiations kind of stall, this fight reflects even broads 466 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: between Democrats and Republicans over immigration, welfare policy, and just 467 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: federal spending. And the outcome of this fight is going 468 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: to determine not only the immediate status of Medicaid and 469 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: the exchange the ACA benefits for illegal aliens, but it's 470 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: also going to draw a distinction over whether Congress draws 471 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: a sharp line between lawful and unlawful residency in accessing 472 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: federal aid programs. That's what the fight's about, and in 473 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: that regard, Republicans are right, Democrats are wrong as far 474 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, because what Republicans are standing strong on 475 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: right now is exactly what I voted for. 476 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: So I'm wondering if this continuing Resolution requires more than 477 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 3: just a simple majority, because we do have that in 478 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 3: both houses of Congress. So are there Republicans that are 479 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: also against it, or is it truly just the Democrats. 480 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: It's just the Democrats, and it's not a simple majority. 481 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: It requires sixty votes to invoke cloture, which is a 482 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: just a fancy way of saying stopping the debate. So 483 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: the debate over the bill, the CR in the Senate 484 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: is ongoing, and they can't stop that debate because they 485 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: can't get to the sixty votes it It requires that 486 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: sixty votes to invoke culture and so you need you 487 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: need those five Democrats because you can have JD. Evans 488 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: break the tie. So forty five Republicans five Democrats gets 489 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: you to fifty. Jdvans breaks the breaks the tie, and 490 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats are down three because again I forget the 491 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: other two, but three Democrats, including John Fetterman, have said 492 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: this is absurd, and you know, let's let's move forward 493 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: in an entirely different area. Remember our discussion last week 494 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: about the Komy indictment and how he had, in my opinion, 495 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: he committed perjury lied to Congress when Senator Cruz asked 496 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: him the questions about have you ever done certain things 497 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: like have you ever authorized somebody at the FBI to 498 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump 499 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: investigation or the Clinton investigation? Or have you ever liked 500 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: leaked any classified information related to President Trump with the media, 501 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: And he answered no, Well, I came across the original 502 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: of where he was asked that question by Senator Grassley 503 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. Listen to how he gives the same 504 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: answer in twenty seventeen that he did when Cruz asked 505 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: him the question earlier this year, which by dropping the 506 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: indictment as they did last week, beat the expiration of 507 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: the statue limitations, which I think was last Wednesday. 508 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 5: Director Cony, have you ever been an anonymous source in 509 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 5: news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or 510 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 5: the Clinton investigation? Never question two one, relatively related, have 511 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 5: you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be 512 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 5: an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation 513 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 5: or the Clinton investigation? Now, has any classified information relating 514 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 5: to President Trump or his associations associates been declassified and 515 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 5: shared with the media. 516 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: Not to my knowledge? Not to my knowledge? Notice Suddenly, 517 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: because this is where he gave them the information directly 518 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: to the professor from Columbia University, he answers unequivocally no, no, no. Then, 519 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: when Grassley asked him, have you ever released classified information 520 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: we got him President Trump and his associates to anyone 521 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: in the media, the answer suddenly becomes not to my knowledge. 522 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: He lied. Now that sets up the situation where the 523 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: prosecutors will have to prove by corroborating evidence from other 524 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: witnesses that indeed he is the one that did it, 525 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: and he knew that he did it. In fact, that 526 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: would probably be person number three, as I said last week, 527 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: which will be oh, the professor himself, because he's not 528 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: going to perjure himself in a criminal case. No, it's 529 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: one thing to lie to Congress. It's a whole different 530 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: story to lie to a court, to lie to a judge. 531 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: Tomys thinks he's too smart by half.
