I know this is a very important week and I want to talk to you about some of these things
00:08
because there's so much happening in the news and once again we have to make sure
00:15
that we are not in a reactive state. I know there is a lot of crazy, dangerous,
00:28
terrible things that are going on. It does not mean that we don't care about them,
00:35
but it's that they always want us on our back foot reacting to things that have just happened.
00:41
We can do that, but they also don't want us on our front foot preparing for what they are going to do
00:50
next. And what I want to talk to you all about today is some of the things that they are planning
01:01
to do next week and how we can prepare because we have a very unique opportunity
01:08
to derail and get ahead of the game and derail what they are about to do. And I want to talk to you
01:16
about that because I've talked in past lives about how the number one priority
01:24
for Republicans this year is to pass this massive tax cut for the rich
01:33
and to attack and gut Medicaid in order to pay for it.
01:39
And the first major step that one of the first major steps that we have that they are going to
01:46
be doing to proceed on that process is next week. It's in fact, it's on Tuesday so far.
01:54
And so I want to talk about what we can do to prepare for that next week. And yes, I will be
02:00
answering some of your questions and talking about some of the other stuff that's going on. We saw some
02:05
of the horrible stuff that happened in Newark, ICE kind of arresting the mayor of Newark and some
02:14
other things that are going on. So I'll talk about that, but I want us to get ahead of the game.
02:21
Right now, there is a link in my bio, ocasiocortez.com save Medicaid. I want to talk about
02:29
what's about to happen on Tuesday and what we can do to change what is going on and also some
02:36
of the things that are happening within the Republican Party.
