00:00Now Savannah, I'm here with a report from our nation's capital and it's not
00:12good news. See it turns out that when Donald Trump said he was going to fight
00:22for working-class Americans. What he really meant was he was going to take away your
00:30health care to cut taxes for the rich. That's what he really meant. Now you may
00:40remember we were told that this was a different Republican Party. We were told
00:47Donald Trump's new GOP cared about working people. But Savannah, Savannah you
00:58can't claim, you can't claim to be for working men and women when you defund
01:02their hospitals and nursing homes. You can't claim to be for working men and
01:09women when you defund school lunch programs to help feed little boys and
01:13little girls whose hard-working parents are struggling to fill the fridge. You
01:20definitely can't claim to be for working men and women when you do these things so
01:24you can cut taxes for the richest people in the country. Now there was a
01:31Republican senator with the integrity to oppose this. Tom Tillis of North Carolina.
01:37Did y'all see that? He was on the Senate floor. He was pleading with Republicans to do the right
01:45thing. Senator Tillis warned that 663,000 North Carolinians will be pushed off Medicaid. He warned that
01:56President Trump was breaking his promises. He took a stand and he voted against the bill and they ran him
02:04right out of the Republican Party for. Now it took courage what Senator Tillis did. But
02:13among the Republicans who represent Georgia in Congress, no such courage was to be
02:17found. Just yes sir, no sir, Mr. Trump. Now let me tell you-
02:26Let me just tell you what it was like in Washington these last six months. See, we had the leaders of
02:39Georgia's clinics and hospitals and nursing homes, caregivers for seniors and the disabled, nurses and
02:45doctors, teachers and school principals, the folks who run food pantries, they all came up to Washington and
02:51they begged Georgia's representatives in Congress. They said, please don't do this.
02:56They said it's going to be devastating for health care and kids and seniors. And I want you to know, but Senator
03:05Warnock and I, we listened. We listened. And we fought that bill with everything we have and we voted no. We put Georgia
03:17first, Savannah. But every single Republican member of Congress who is supposed to represent Georgia, who is supposed to put loyalty to Georgia as their highest priority,
03:36instead they chose loyalty to Donald Trump.
03:44Think about this. They're destroying the Medicaid program when 40% of all kids in Georgia are covered by Medicaid.
03:5250% of all births, 50% of all births in Georgia are covered by Medicaid. 70% of all seniors in nursing homes in Georgia are covered by Medicaid.
04:07There are now 37 Georgia nursing homes at risk of closure because of this law. And seven of them are less than two hours from where we are right now.
04:20Do you all remember what Donald Trump said about Medicaid? He said, we're not going to touch it. We're not going to touch it. Direct quote.
04:30It's like, it's like Senator Tillis said, a broken promise. And one of many.
04:36President Trump promised to end the wars.
04:40He promised to release the Epstein files.
04:46Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?
