What the Democrats need to do to win, With Virginia Congressman Don Beyer. [10:17-15:20]

The main thrust of which was to continue the Trump tax cuts from when he was in the office the first time. He says that these are tax cuts for all Americans. Who benefits from the tax the Trump tax cuts. Bill I'm sure you've seen those wonderful bar charts that are broken into the court the quintiles the top 20% the lowest 20%. And almost all that is going to the top 20% and most of that's going to the top 5%. And then it's a joke the whole no tax on tips which only affects about a quarter of the tips that people get and the no tax on overtime. You still got to pay taxes on everything up to that just not the extra. And what you end up with when they take away their Medicaid and when you hit them with tariffs on goods which is what people with the lower end overwhelmingly spend their money by. They're way behind where they were before. In the meantime the rich have just gotten richer and it's true offset. This is the greatest transfer of wealth from normal Americans to rich Americans in the history of mankind. Wow. Yeah. And of course to pay for those tax cuts right. One of the parts of the OBBB was to cut what 10 million people. 10 million people from Medicaid. 10 million. Yeah. And that could be right now it's likely to go to 17 or 18 million by the end of the year because they have. Have said that they're not going to renew the premium tax credits for the affordable care act. That's another 7 to 8 million people that won't be able to afford the affordable care act. The interesting statistics today coming out from two of the big university laboratories about the number of people that are going to die per year because of these cuts. I think the number was around 45,000 per year additional Americans will die as a result of this. And that's not one time that's every year. So, Congressman, the cuts in Medicaid, according to the law, what's now the law of the land. Don't kick in until after the midterms. Are the American people going to know how bad this is going to be and maybe react accordingly or will they be unaware of what's headed their way? Yeah. Bill, it seems that it's a drip. There's no one cataclysmic event that's changing everybody's mind. But from, it came into office with the lowest approval rating of any president of modern times. And there's now down to 38, 39%. He's down in the high 20s among independents. People are realizing that the destruction that he's wreaking, the stupid and competent people he's put in place, Hegseth, and Bondy, and Patel, and Kennedy, all that's adding up. And people are seeing a chaos on a level of incompetence that we've never seen in American government. Whether the Medicaid stuff kicks in by the next midterm, I don't know. But people do know it was coming. And they do know that, for example, you have the work reporting environment. You've got to work twice a year. For many people, you can't just go online. You've got to show up someplace and show that you've done your work. You have your employment check or your paycheck stub. People are not going to do it or they're not going to do it. And then they're going to be denied the care that they need. Despite the fact that they're, when you throw 10 million people off a Medicaid, they keep saying it's waste fraud and abuse. There aren't 10 million 28 year old young men playing video games at home and avoiding going to work. These are people in nursing homes and people taking care of disabled children. And people that are just poor and sick. And in fact, aren't many of them people who are working maybe in fast food restaurants or something. But they don't make enough money to buy health care on their own. And therefore, they qualify for Medicaid. And as the only health care, they actually get anyway. Exactly. And if you know, so most of those folks work with car business. A lot of people that were at the lower level, the washing cars and moving cars, would just automatically assume they had to have a second and a third job. We would always go out on our way to make sure that they can make at least 10 or 12 hours of overtime every week so that they didn't have to get that second job. But when you have two and three jobs, when do you have time to go find some government office and prove that you're still working? Is this an opportunity do you believe, Congressman, for Democrats to make the case about how bad the Trump economy is or the Trump? What damage would Republicans or Congress are doing and maybe lead to a little better success in 2026? We sure hope so. We picked up a bunch of seats the last time. But for the immoral redistricting in North Carolina, Hockey and Jeffries would be speaker today.
