00:00
The gentleman is recognized for two minutes.
00:01
Thank you, and I thank the chairman.
00:03
You know, President Trump had issued some statements throughout this process saying
00:09
and urging, insisting, that this bill does not cut Medicaid.
00:14
He's also said some things.
00:16
You know, he says he doesn't think I'm too much of a smart person.
00:20
And I'll tell you one thing.
00:22
It doesn't take a smart person to know if you're being lied to.
00:26
So, President Trump, you're either being lied to or you are lying to the American people
00:34
because this bill represents in the text of this bill the largest and greatest loss of
00:42
health care in American history.
00:45
17 million Americans will lose their health care on this bill.
00:50
Not undocumented people, not quote-unquote the disgusting term illegal, but 17 million
00:57
Americans will have their health care cut from this bill.
01:02
On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off
01:08
of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam of that text, a little bit of the
01:13
fine print there.
01:14
The cap on that is $25,000, while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000
01:25
across the United States, while taking away their SNAP, while taking away their Medicaid,
01:32
while kicking them off of the ACA and their health care extensions.
01:36
So if you're at home and you're living off tips, you do the math.
01:40
Is that worth it to you?
01:42
Losing all your health care, not able to feed your babies, not being able to put a diaper
01:48
on their bottom in exchange for what?
01:50
This bill is a deal with the devil.
01:54
It explodes our national debt.
01:57
It militarizes our entire economy.
02:00
And it strips away health care and basic dignity of the American people for what?
02:08
to give Elon Musk a tax break and billionaires the greedy taking of our nation.
02:14
We cannot stand for it and we will not support it.
02:18
You should be ashamed.
