WEBVTT - Why Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is BAD for Americans

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>It is Monday, June thirtieth. This is the morning.

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 2>It was a momentous weekend in the United States. As

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 2>one of the singularly most pernicious pieces of legislation in

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 2>American history.

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>The perversely named.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Big Beautiful Bill slithered its way through the United States Senate,

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>and never ever in the affairs of the United States

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 2>has there ever been a piece of legislation that took

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:39.319
<v Speaker 2>from so many to give to so few. It is

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the most regressive piece of legislation ever passed by an

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>American Congress, that has saddled ordinary people, ordinary Americans like plowhorses,

0:00:55.400 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 2>yoked to the billionaire class, as indentured servants, the richest

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 2>people in America, individuals who have the ability to fly

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>themselves to space, or the beneficiaries of legislation that will

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>beggar our children four trillion dollars of debt added to

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>thirty six trillion dollars for no purpose except.

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>To take and take, and take and take. This bill

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>will do.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>It will take healthcare from seventeen million Americans. This piece

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>of legislation almost sold off one hundred and thirty two

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>million acres of public land. It funds ice to the

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>tone of forty five billion dollars.

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>The United States is about.

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>To have a real deal secret police for of masked

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>thugs that is funded like an army running wild.

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>From coast to coast.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 2>And of course, all of this obscenity was passed by

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>the Republican Congress that worships Donald Trump. No differently the

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 2>National Socialists worshiped their fearer or the Soviet polla bureau

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>acquiesced to the whim of the General Secretary.

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 3>President Trump promised no Medicaid cuts.

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 4>Is the big Beautiful bill a broken promise?

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely not.

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 5>What we're doing is cutting the waist fraud and abuse,

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 5>and I want to use that word abuse out of

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 5>the Medicaid system and make sure it's for the people

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 5>that it was originally attended for.

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 4>We've got to make sure that these overpayments under payments

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 4>that are happening. We've seen it in our own state

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 4>where people's benefits are being stolen from other states, that

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 4>that stuff stops if state's obviously under the bidmant We

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 4>stopped that accountability during for the SNAP program. Reinstituting it

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 4>and ensuring that states have some skin in the game

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 4>will ultimately help us be able to deliver these resources

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 4>and services that these people so desperately need.

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Everyone in the House they know the peril they're in

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.239
<v Speaker 3>if they vote no on this thing.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:19.839
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean the peril they're in.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 3>I think, first of all, it's good for the nation. Secondly,

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 3>they know that their jobs or risk just from the President,

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>but from the voting the American people.

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 6>But at the end of the day, this is the

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 6>biggest tax cut on working class families. If we don't

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 6>pass this bill, everyone's taxes on average will go up

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 6>two thousand dollars a household. And that's not fair to

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 6>the regular Americans who work hard every day.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what this bill is all about.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 5>The bottom line is that we're just we're not taking

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 5>away anybody's medicaid. We're definitely not taking away anybody's medicare.

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 5>What we're doing is we're going off after waste, fraud, abuse,

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 5>and there's a heck of a lot of it out there.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 5>Is it about election or is it about no?

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 3>It's about this right, It's great for the country. Of

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 3>outline the three top points.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>When we look out across the country, the people are

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>not cheering, The people are screaming. They are against this,

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:20.799
<v Speaker 2>and so while in Venice, Donald's plutocrats celebrate. Here at home,

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 2>the hungry kid gets the knife in the back, and

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the person who put it there, who helped Trump close

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the rural hospitals, is Susan Collins and Senator Moran in Kansas,

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and all of these Republicans Joni Earnst in Iowa.

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>They believe they're in safe seats. They believe with all.

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Of their heart and soul that they can get up

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>every morning, do as they please, do as they want,

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>take as they please, take as they want, lie to

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 2>their constituents, and run on a campaign of saying you

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>to the folks back home, I'm with Trump one hundred

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>percent of the time, no matter what, because I'm afraid

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>of him and.

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Not of my voters. That's all about to change.

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>The cheers of this corrupt mag of Congress, the one

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 2>hundred and nineteenth American Congress that will live in infamy

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>as amongst the very very worst in the history of

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>the country, if not the worst. What they have done

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>as they are cheering is write out their suicide notes.

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>They're political suicides, and they won't be cheering on election day.

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Susan Collins has every right to be concerned because Susan Collins,

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 2>with an approval rate of fourteen percent, is in her

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>last term in the United States Senate. In this awful

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 2>this honest woman opposer, a phony moderate, is a scratchy

0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 2>voiced extremist. That's the only difference quiver in her voice

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.239
<v Speaker 2>from that of her male colleagues. She represents the state

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 2>that Margaret Chase Smith came from, who delivered a conscience

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>of a conservative speech.

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>What a disgrace. But the die is cast.

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Democrats will have to set a plan and a course

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 2>to make things right. Two corrupt establishments circling each other.

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Won't cut it anymore.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 2>We need visionaries, we need leaders, and we need a

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 2>plan or the country's gone.

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>It's as simple as that. What this bill is done

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is give.

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Away trillions to the richest people in the world, funded

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>a secret police force, at tempted to sell off one

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty million acres of public lands, and has

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 2>denied healthcare in the richest country in the world, the

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 2>upwards of twenty million people. And this is what Trump

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>says makes America great again.

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, the choices are followed by consequences, and in a democracy,

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>one half of the country has the ability to poison

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the other half.

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>And so it came to be with forty nine point

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 2>five percent of the vote, and with.

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>A lot of good reasons.

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>People looked at the Democratic Party and they said no,

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and they played Russian Roulette, and there's a bullet in

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the chamber. What's happening is real, what's happening is frightening,

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and what's happening.

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Must be stopped, must be opposed.

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>We must brace an American identity to oppose the Maga

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>onslaught and the Maga identity which has swallowed for tens

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 2>of millions their Americanism, their American identity. We have to

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 2>fight very, very hard to reach those people and to

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>remind them they're Americans, not cult members. Boy oh boy,

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>do we have a lot of work to do. Bob Steve,

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 2>this is the warning. I invite you to join this

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>community where I promise to be honest, blunt and direct

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>about what is happening in this country. America is in crisis.
