Democratic leaders criticized President Donald Trump's “big, beautiful bill” and the Republicans who passed the legislation last month, which included tax breaks and spending cuts. But, some Republicans have now expressed regrets after discovering provisions they were unaware of in the 1,037-page package.
00:00Republicans in Congress don't care if your health care is too expensive, and they don't
00:18care if you can't afford your medical bills.
00:22They voted for what Elon Musk called the disgusting abomination, a Republican budget that throws
00:27millions of Americans off of their health insurance.
00:32Republicans don't care if their tariffs are raising your prices across the board and making
00:38it harder to make ends meet.
00:41They voted to take away food assistance for families, seniors, veterans, and they'll continue
00:49to reward billionaire donors who keep them in office with tax breaks so they can hold
00:55on to power.
00:58When confronted with the truth, they often just lie.
01:02Or they show their true colors, like one Republican senator did by dismissing concerns that Medicaid
01:07cuts might lead to unnecessary deaths as a result of their disgusting abomination kicking millions
01:14off of their health care.
01:16We're all gonna die, she said.
01:19That is the Republican health care plan in a nutshell.
01:22And that's why Republicans can't be trusted to make your health care or anything else more
01:27affordable for working families.
01:3041 acts of healing in the gospel.
01:33That's what Jesus did in truth.
01:35I'd like to now talk about Senator Joni Ernst's statement that we all are going to die.
01:41She is correct that we all are going to die, but it shouldn't be at the hands of Republican
01:47legislation.
01:49And the Republicans' big, ugly bill is going to cause unnecessary death.
01:55And now we see some Republican members who are opposed to it because guess what?
02:00They didn't read the bill.
02:01So Marjorie Taylor Greene, yesterday, opposes a provision which is a 10-year moratorium on
02:09states regulating artificial intelligence.
02:12So I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene once every 100 years.
02:15This is that time.
02:17I agree that this 10-year provision is extreme.
02:21It's going to cause unnecessary harm.
02:24And look, I think the federal government is fine doing preemption.
02:28When we preempt with something, you can't just preempt with nothing.
02:33And this is a bad provision.
02:34And I hope the Senate will take out this 10-year moratorium.
02:38This seems like the upside down, right?
02:40Donald Trump's former friends and Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk are now not besties.
02:45I can't keep track of it anymore.
02:48But Russia is a threat.
02:52We have voted for sanctions for Russia previously.
02:56We continue to view it through the lens of national security.
03:00And we will be willing and ready to make deliberations and votes if there are packages and proposals.
03:08But I think right now the effort that the Senate is undertaking is more of an effort to get Donald Trump to be supportive of Russian sanctions than it is to get the House of Representatives to be supportive of Russian sanctions.
03:20They clearly are trying to work Donald Trump to get to this position.
