00:54I want to build on the question about Medicaid in the budget resolution that you voted for.
01:02$880 billion is targeted to be cut in 10 years from mandatory spending of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
01:12The total projected outlay of that committee, as per the Congressional Budget Office, is $8.8 trillion.
01:22If you back out Medicaid, the balance outlay is $581 billion.
01:30If you back out Medicaid, CHIP, which I'm sure you know is children's health insurance, as well as the budget neutral items, the balance is $135 billion.
01:44Where are you going to find $880 billion other than from Medicaid?
01:50So, when it comes to budget reconciliation, it is the Senate number that governs, not the House number.
02:04The Senate number that they passed, just two weeks ago, was $4 billion total.
02:10$4 billion total across the entirety of the government.
02:14Not $1.5 trillion, $4 billion.
02:16The objective to me has always been, you have to find 218 votes.
02:24And I can tell you right now, there will not be 218 votes to cut Medicaid to eligible recipients, period.
02:34There is a whole group of us that, going back to last year and then in January, we made it very clear to leadership.
02:44I met with the President at the White House with a group of about 20.
02:48We made it clear to the President.
02:50The President actually agreed with us about not wanting to cut Medicaid.
02:54The issue, the issue, the issue, okay, the issue is getting a budget resolution, which was the first step in the reconciliation process, passed.
03:08That's what we did.
03:09We passed a budget resolution that has a framework.
03:13As far as I'm concerned, that is as good as the paper it was written on.
03:21The issue is the actual reconciliation bill.
03:25That is the bill that matters.
03:27That is the one that will determine what, if any, changes there are to any spending.
03:32And the question will be, can you get to 218 votes?
03:36I've been very clear.
03:38I will not support a reconciliation bill that cuts Medicaid benefits to eligible recipients.
03:45And I will not support a reconciliation bill that does not lift the cap on salt.
03:50Period.
03:51I will vote no if it does either of those things.
03:54So she seems to be repeal-
03:59Yes!
04:00Monsieur Fraktion!
04:01Ma'am, we said no yelling out, can you please-
04:10The state, the States run the Medicaid program.
04:16Okay, the numbers 4, 3, 9, 1, 8, 8.
04:21four three nine one eight eight
04:36thank you for taking my question I want to follow up on some other things that
04:39have been said and I ask that people let me finish please
04:42and that you answer my question on Friday this administration deported three
04:46children ages two four and seven who are US citizens the four-year-old with a
04:53rare form of metastatic cancer receiving treatment and deported thank you
04:58without medication and all without consultation with their families
05:02attorneys or physician physician all of the families were complying with law a
05:07routine check-in only to be detained and then deported these continuing illegal
05:13actions by the administration cannot be tolerated by Congress but you said you
05:18are not concerned with what what authoritarianism since there are three
05:23equal branches of government on the Brian Lehrer show on Friday when I heard you
05:29you're consistently seen as a bipartisan member of Congress but your actions speak
05:34louder than your words when will you uphold and adhere to the Constitution where is
05:40your line on all of these illegal actions do you want to be known
05:43so I said the other day when I was on CNN actually when the Supreme Court ruling came
06:02out 9-0 against the administration with respect to the deportation of mr.
06:10Abrego Garcia and I said that the administration should abide by the
06:15Supreme Court ruling period if if our if as co-equal branches of government okay it's
06:23not superior it's not the executive above the legislature or folks let me explain
06:30please it's not it's not one branch above the other we are all co-equal and what has
06:38happened over many administrations is executive power has become condensed in in the
06:49executive and I fundamentally believe both Congress and the judiciary have to
06:56reassert their rightful powers so with respect to with respect to with respect to
07:06okay with respect to okay with respect to the deportation of US citizens that should not happen they should
07:22be immediately returned and the administration should facilitate their return now as the as the Supreme Court ruled on the on the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia
07:33they said there was a court order prohibiting his deportation to El Salvador despite him
07:42being in El Salvador national and they said that he should not have been and I
07:47agree with that because you had a court order they also said that the
07:54administration should facilitate his return and go through the deportation process and
08:00that's exactly what they should do they should follow the administrative law they
08:07should follow the court orders period I fundamentally believe that and obviously
08:15the courts are going to weigh in again here and what you will have if the
08:23administration does not facilitate the return of both either a US citizen or in
08:29the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia you will you will have the courts take significant
08:35action holding numerous people in contempt and that and that will happen if they do
08:42not abide by the court ruling and so they should sir I already I have and I
08:54just did again in front of you congressman would you like to talk excuse me everyone just keep going
09:02questions okay I said they should be returned I just said that okay if you if you
09:17take the opportunity to listen instead of yelling you might actually hear the
