  Speaker 1: Fraud has become a major headline, especially when it deals
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with the Affordable Care Act, which we now know is
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: anything but affordable. And now we're finding out more about
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: your tax dollars going to insurance programs companies, and in
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: fact the beneficiaries don't even know it's even giving them coverage.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I want to take you backwards to where we learned
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of this from the GOA fraud investigation. The
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Government Accountability Office, used by Republicans of the centerpiece of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: their new expose A has found significant fraud vulnerabilities in
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: how the ACA, the Affordable Care Act marketplace processes enrollment
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and taxpayer subsidies. Some of the key findings are truly shocking.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The GOA created fictitious applicants with fake or invalid social
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Security numbers, and the ACA marketplace still approved them for subsidies,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and in fact, nearly all of the fake applicants were accepted.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: The report found instances of duplicate and repeated subcy payments
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: tied to the same social security numbers, including one social
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Security number appearing on many separate policies, and that suggested
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: poor verification systems.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: In other words, the insurance companies.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Know that they're going to get paid for people that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: don't deserve the coverage, But who cares if you're getting paid.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Tens of thousands of subcy payments also were connected to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: deceased individuals as well. That's right, your tax dollar is
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: going to dead people. And what better client for these
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: big insurance comings than someone that's literally dead. You don't
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: have to worry about any claims at all. It's free money,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: all because of fraud. We also now know that the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: payments were going to brokers. Brokers were able to enroll
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of people and switch plans on half of
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: people without clear verification procedures.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Big incentives for them, Commissions going for each person they
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: were signing up, including multiple people under the same Social
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Security number, or dead people all together. The estimates are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: also rising. Republicans are now suggesting billions, not hundreds of millions,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but billions in improper payments annually, including potentially twenty seven
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: billion they're now saying in inproper subsidy payments, though exact
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: figures are hard to find. Why because there's so much
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: fraud now, Republicans are now demanding that the system be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: changed because it is filled with systemic fraud, waste, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: abuse in the ACA marketplace known as Obamacare. It's costing
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: taxpayers and then driving up dreemiums for legitimate human beings
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that aren't dead, legitimate enrollees. And that is where John
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Thune comes in center. Thoom, the Democrat from South Dakota,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and other GOP leaders are now citing the GOA findings
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: as a justification for opposing the extension of the Affordable
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Care Act and the premium tax credits without structural reforms.
• 3:25

• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Right now, here's.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Senater Thune talking about Obamacare and just how broken this
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: system is perception.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: A little over a decade ago, premiums have gone up
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty one percent.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Here's what you said last time we talked.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: End of September. The premium tax credit issue is something
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: we're willing to have a conversation about. But the fact
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: of the matter is it is rife with waste, fraud,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and abuse. It needs reforms. But you're willing to work
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: on this issue in particular. Yeah, I mean, part of
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: this is that the base Obamacare program is not going
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to be affected. What's going to be affected is the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: enhancements that the Democrats added when they had the majorities.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: But we're willing to have that conversation.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: But you got to do that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: You know, you can't do that in the context of
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: a hostage taking situation. Did they win the hostage taking situation?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: As far as the politics here, because there's a lot
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: of people that are going to see their healthcare premiums skyrock.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and there in that marketplace, which represents about self
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: percent of the American people who get their insurance through
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the Obamacare exchanges, particularly those that are above the four
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: hundred percent poverty level, which is where the Biden COVID
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: bonus is kicked in. Yeah, there's seeing some increase. Now,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: there are other things they can do, they can shift
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: around at different markets, but the fact of the matter
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: is We're open to fixing and addressing this, but you've
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: got to do it in a way bread that actually
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: solves the problem and lowers costs if you stay on
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: this path right now with all the waste, fraud and abuse.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: The same thing is true today that I said last September,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and that is that there are no income caps, there
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: are zero dollar premiums. There are literally millions of people
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: in the exchange. You don't even know they're covered because
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the payments go directly from the federal government to the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: insurance companies, and so people are automatically they're auto or
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: rolled by the insurance companies. And there's no accountability in
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: this program. And the Government Accountability Office justted and audited
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: this program and of the twenty fake claims they submitted,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: nineteen of them got approved. That's a ninety five percent
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: failure rate. So it's got to be reformed and we're
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: open to that, and if the Democrats want to work
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: with us, we won't get it done before the Christmas holiday,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: but when we come back in January. There are discussions
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: that are going on right now. We have folks who
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: are interested in fixing it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: There seems to be real momentum now by Republicans because
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of this amount of fraud that they should oppose the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: extensions of the ACA and the premium tax credits because
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there needs to be reformed. The insufficient fraud protections in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the Democratic proposals is also a major problem. Democrats don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: want to fix this problem because they're biggest donors, which
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is the healthcare industry. The health insurance companies are giving
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: them millions and millions of dollars in campaign donations, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: that's exactly why Democrats are doing this right now now.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Pressuring Democrats to include verification and anti fraud measures in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: these subsidy extensions is something Republicans need to date. Senaer
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Thune and other Senate Republicans have framed the debate as quote,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you can't extend subsidies without fixing fraud and integrity issues first.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: They want legitimate legislative language requiring stricter eligibility checks and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: stronger fraud deterrence mechanisms before supporting further funding.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Here's also with the House Speaker Mike Johnson had to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: say about this on CNBC of.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: The COVID Era enhanced subsidy, the premium tax credit has
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: been a big issue around here of debate for months now.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: We knew that we were coming to the end of
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: the year when it would expire. And remember, the Democrats
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: created this COVID era subsidy. They are the ones that
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: put the expiration date on it. And now they're turning
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: to Republicans as if we should we should save that
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: in some way, we couldn't find consensus on it with
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: the body in order to pass it. Here's the reason
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: everybody needs to understand. There's a false narrative out there
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: about these these subsidies. It's subsidized in insurance companies, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: when you do that, you're masking the costs, the rising
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: cost of healthcare, and you're rising making the premiums rise
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: even further.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: But here's here's the false narrative.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: The Democrats are pretending as though this affects everybody in
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: the country. It affects seven percent of Americans this extended subsidy.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: And of those, even if it was extended without any
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: reforms at all, it would only reduce that small group
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: of Americans premiums by five point seven percent.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: The Democrats are twenty two to four million Americans. No,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: I understand that this is not for everybody, but it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: twenty two to twenty four million Americans, and there are
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: Republican some Republican Republicans whose districts are going to face
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: some real trouble and some real issues with us. We've
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: talked to some of them. I understand that Michael Awler
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: from New York was particularly upset yesterday that he was
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: kind of furious about it. Said, it's idiotic, it's political malpractice.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: That's what he told Axio some of this. They said
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: they could hear him yelling from outside the room yesterday
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: where all of you were meeting.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Well, no, no, I was in that room with him,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: and Mike Lauler is one of my close friends. In fact,
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: I was with him in his district in New York
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: City just two weeks ago, campaigning for a couple of days,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: raising him money and helping him get reelected. He's an
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: essential member of our conference and a really smart guy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: And what he was arguing for is this seven percent
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: of Americans. But here's the point. What we're going to
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: do today is the first of multiple steps to help
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: not just seven percent of Americans, but one hundred percent
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: of Americans reduce their premiums, actually reduce their premiums, not
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: subsidized insurance companies to raise the premiums, but reduce them.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: And the first of those votes is today. This is
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: the Lower Premiums for All Americans Act we're going to
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: have on the floor, and it's going to actually achieve
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: if it's signed in a law, exactly what we're saying.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: It has many components. Among them are the cost sharing
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: reduction programs, which will reduce all premiums across the board
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: by at least eleven percent and by the way, save
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. We have the help
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Association Health plans that will be a part of this today,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: which will give more flexibility to small businesses and others,
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: and insurance in the marketplace. You've got PBM transparency as
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: a part of this, and the choice accounts, so there'll
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: be a lot more flexibility in the system. Consumers will
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: be able to have more choices and their cost will
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: go down. Will also increase access to care through these reforms,
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: and again this is just the first of many. We're
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: going to do more of this in the first quarter
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: of next year. Republicans are the ones who will fix healthcare.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: It is the Democrats who broke it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Republicans will fix healthcare, and Democrats are the ones who
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: broke it. Operation Overlord the D Day Beaches. You and
• 11:42

• 12:41
  Speaker 1: move from the Trump administration that we all should be celebrating.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: RFK Junior has announced actions finally some sanity against transgender
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: procedures being done on children. As RFK Junior put it,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it is not medicine. It is mal practice, and there's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: many who are getting rich off of this mauch practice.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration is taking six decisive actions against transgender
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: procedures on children, Health and Human Services Secretary announced on Thursday.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: According to the press release detailing the actions, HHS is
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: aiming to carry out President Donald Trump's executive order directing
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: HHS to in the practice of sex rejecting procedures on
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: children that expose young people to irreversible harm quote unquote,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the doctors assume a solemn obligation to protect children. Doctors
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: across the country now provide needless and irreversible sex rejecting
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: procedures that violate their sacred hippocratic oath, endangering the very
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: lives that they are sworn to safeguard, Kennedy said during
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the announcement. He went on to say more, and I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: want you to listen to what he had to say.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Doctors assume a solemn obligation to protect children. At doctors
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: across the country now provide needless and irreversible sex rejecting
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: procedures that violate their sacred hypocratical oaths and dangering the
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: very lives that they are sworn to safeguard. The American
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Medical Association the American Academy of Pediatrics battled the lie
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: that chemical and surgical sex rejecting procedures could be good
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: for children who suffer from gender to ysphoria. They betrayed
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: the estimated three hundred thousand American youths ages thirteen to
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: seventeen conditioned to believe that sex can be changed. They
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: betray their hippocratic oath to do no harm. So called
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: gender affirming care has inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: on vulnerable young people. This is not medicine, it is
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: is malpractice. We're done with junk science driven by ideological pursuits,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: not the well being of children. A beer reviewed report
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: published by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Health last month confirms that sex rejecting procedures imposed medical
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: dangers and lasting harm on children who receive these interventions.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: So today we are taking six decisive actions guided by
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: gold standard science and the week one executive order from
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: President Trump to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: This morning, I signed a declaration sex rejecting procedures are
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: neither safe nor effective treatment for children with genderness.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: For you, it's really sad that it took this long
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: for us to get back on track with the insanity
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: of the medical community and the radical laugh that have
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: been forcing this for years and ruining young people's lives.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that the RFK.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Junior said, quote, We're done with junk science driven by
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: ideological pursuits, not the well being of children. A peer
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: reviewed report published by the HS Office of the Assistant
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Health last month confirmed that sexual rejecting procedures
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: impose major medical dangers and lasting harm on children who
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: receive these interventions. These six decisive actions, guided by what
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: he described as the gold standard of science, as well
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: as the executive order from the present, is about one thing,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: protecting children from chemical and surgical manipulation. The Centers for
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Medical and Medicaid Services will release a notice by the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: way of proposed rulemaking to bar hospitals from performing sex
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: rejecting procedures on children under the age of eighteen, as
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: it can condition a participation of Medicare and Medicaid programs.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Nearly all US hospitals participate in Medicare and Medicaid, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this action is designed to ensure that the US government
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: will not be in the business with organizations that intentionally
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: or unintentionally inflict permanent harm on children. The CMS is
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: proposing this rolemaking pursuant to its long standing authority, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: they say it is the Social Security Act as well,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: which authorize the agency to establish standards necessary to protect
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: patient health and safety and Medicare and Medicaid participating hospitals.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Now to Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy Junior today
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: signing this declaration based on the peer review report finding
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: that the procedures do not meet professionally recognize standards of
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: health care, and under the declaration, practitioners who perform sex
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: rejecting procedures on minors would be deemed out of compliance
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: with these standards. The CMS administrator, doctor Oz, in a statement,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: said this children deserve our protection, not experimental interventions performed
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: on them that carry life altering risks with no reliable
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: evidence of benefit. This proposal, he went on to say,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: seeks to clarify that hospitals participating in our program cannot
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: conduct these unproven procedures on children. CMS will ensure that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: federal program standards reflect our responsibility to promote the health
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and safety of children. The press release also notes that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the AHHS is working to reverse the Biden administration's attempt
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to include gender dysphoria within the definition of a disability.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: That's the loophole. This all represents a drastic change, by
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the way, from the Biden administration, which actually had Rachel Levine,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a man who believes he is a woman, serve as
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the Assistant Secretary for Health while advocating for transgender procedures
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: on children. For example, Levin said quote, it only takes
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: one supportive adult to increase a queer young person's quality
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: of life and reduce the risk of self harm. It
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: can be a parent or family member, but it may
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: not be It can be a doctor, coach, or other
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: supportive figure, even if they don't work in healthcare, asserting
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that transgender procedures, or as the Left calls them, gender
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: affirming care, are medically necessary, safe, and effective for transgendered
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to non binary youth and adults. That is literally the
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: policy of the Biden administration. It is again shocking that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it took us this long to get back to sanity.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: He also went on to claim in the same speech,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: those who attack our LGBTQ plus community are driven by
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: an agenda that has nothing to do with science and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: medic which brings me to one final point. How did
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: we get to this? It's real simple, follow the money.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: A perfect example is Vanderbilt University. They were making millions
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of dollars and basically looking at children and his cash
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: cows because they know that once you start the process,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the treatments and the drugs never stop, because you're trying
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to fake your body into believing it's the opposite sex
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: of what it actually is. And what did Vanderbilt University
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: do And how bad did they want to get these
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: kids and take all their money for the rest of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: their lives when all Vanderbilt had what they described as
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: gender affirming care and a Buddy system to normalize their treatment.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to the trans Buddy program coordinator who
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: is on tape.
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: My name is Sean Riley, and I'm the program coordinator
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: for Transbuddy at the Program for LGBTQ Health at Vanderbilt University.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Transbuddy provides gained peer advocates for transgender patients who are
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: coming for doctor's appointments.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: Or other healthcare related services.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: Whether you're looking for something that's related to medical transition,
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: such as formone therapy, or something completely unrelated like breaking
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: an arm or going to an ant, we are here
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: to help support any transgender patients that come through our doors.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: The Transputty program was organically created through the efforts of
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: transgender people and continues to consistently be led by trans
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: people in Middle Tennessee. Transputty program is one of a
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: kind in the nation, and institutions are looking to Vanderbilt
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: to replicate and expand programs like ours.
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: We're not seeking to find solutions often for people's problems.
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: We're just seeking to be there into a company and
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: to be a friendly face and to be a non
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: medical face in a place where everybody coming in the
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: room is going to be a health care provider and
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: may be unsafe.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Nothing says healthcare like playing Lulla By music for children
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: while trying to recruit them. Vanderbilt also said the time
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: that they had some individuals who started gender affirming hormones
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: at thirteen.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Why because they can make millions.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So here we are another example of the President of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the United States of America working with his administration to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: protect our children from the radicals at Vanderbilt University and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: other universities claiming a healthcare when really it's all about
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: making money.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Could it be that the media and.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: The Democrats got it wrong yet again on the economy.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: The same people that try to convince you that there
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: was no such thing as Biden inflation, and instead they
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: wanted you to believe that the economy was incredible shape
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: when Joe Biden was in office. Well, once Donald Trump
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: got elected, they want you to believe everything is terrible.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Well guess what, now there's more data show they're just
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a bunch of liars. And this time it was bigger
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: than even conservative could have imagined. There was a sharp
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and honestly an unexpected tumble, not a decline, but a
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: tumble in inflation to two point seven percent is more
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: than just positive data point. It's a clear rebuke of
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the economic pessimism pushed by critics of President Donald Trump.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: It's also a powerful validation of Trump policies that administration
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: has been advancing, saying, trust me, it's going to work.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: The White House was absolutely right. For months, economists and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: political opponents of Donald Trump have worn that Trump's aggressive
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: economic agenda, including the tariffs that have brought in record
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: dollars to the US, the energy expansion, deregulation, and pressure
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: on global trade partners, would fuel, as they described it, inflation. Instead,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the opposite has happened. Inflation not only did it not spike,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it fell in a major way, and it fell faster
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: than anyone, including those at the White House, were even
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: willing to mention, much less claim it was going to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: become a reality. Energy dominance is doing exactly by the way,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: what Donald Trump said it was going to do. One
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: of the biggest drivers behind the falling inflation is energy prices,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and this is where Trump's policies are having an outsized impact.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Under Trump, federal barriers to domestic oil and gas production
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: have been rolled back, leasing and drilling approvals have accelerated.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: The administration signaled clearly that America would return to energy
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: independence and even a bigger way than it did when
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: he was in office the first time. That confidence alone
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: stabilized the markets, and then when supply expectations rise, prices fall,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: not just at the pump, but across the entire economy,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what we are now witness having a
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: huge impact on inflation. Lower energy costs, reduced transportation expenses,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: manufacturing input costs, and grocery distribution prices. All of that
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: good for the economy. As President Trump said on the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: campaign trail, energy and the price touches everything. Trump understood
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that from day one, and inflation numbers are now proving
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: him to be exactly right. We also know that the
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: media and the Democrats lied to you about the tariffs.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: They said over and over and over again, the tariffs
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: were going to cause massive inflation. They said that shelves
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: would be empty at places like Target, Walmart, Costco, and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Sam's Club. That also never happened. One of the loudest
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: criticisms of President Trump's economic strategy was by the left
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of the media, and they said the tariffs would not
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: only raise consumer prices, but there would be mass of
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: supply chain issues. They then said that would make inflation
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: skyrocket even more. That argument has also now flat out collapsed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: What actually happened is this, the tariffs pressured foreign producers
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: to actually absorb the costs that did not get passed
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: on to Americans. The way that the left tried to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: claim supply chains adjusted instead of breaking again, no empty
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: shelves and no backlogs of basic necessities that Americans need.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: That was also a lie. It also had another huge impact.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: American manufacturing expanded rapidly, reducing the reliance on volatile foreign inputs,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: something the President said was a part of us having
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: security and safety literally on a national security forefront. Instead
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of inflation spiraling upwards, which the left in the media
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: said was a guaranteed thing, prices stabilized and markets recalibrated.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Trump's tariffs weren't random, they were targeted leverage, forcing fairness
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and restoring balance. Inflation falling to two point seven percent
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: shows that smart trade and enforcement doesn't punish the consumers,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: it actually protects them. And then the issue of deregulation,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that is something that I had a huge impact on
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the numbers we're witnessing right now. Deregulation reduced hidden inflation
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and Americans have never been able to see the receipts
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: before until Trump got into office. Inflation isn't just about
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: sticker prices. It's also about compliance costs, regulatory delays, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: bureaucratic drag from a government that just got way too big.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Trump administration said, Hey, we're going to cut thousands of
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: pages of federal regulations. We're going to reduce permitting delays.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: We're going to lowered compliance costs for small and medium
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: sized businesses with something else they said was vitally important.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: And when businesses spend less money navigating Washington, that's when
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you get what we're witnessing right now. Products that are
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: fast the market. They end up hiring.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: More people and they keep prices lower.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: This invisible inflation, as the White House described it, rarely
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: makes headlines, but removing it has a real, end measured effect.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: The two point seven percent inflation figure reflects those savings
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: working their way through the economy, and then it comes
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: down to confidence has returned to the marketplace and the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: markets have actually responded. Inflation is also psychological. When consumers
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and businesses believe prices will rise, they behave in ways
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that make it happen well. Trump's leadership clearly restored economic confidence.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Businesses began investing again, consumers stopped panic buying, markets adjusted
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: expectations downwards. That confidence reduces volatility, and volatility is a
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: major inflation driver. Washington elites expected chaos, the markets and
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the people saw clarity and they understood the rules of
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the game because of a president that was transparent, which
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: brings us to fiscal discipline, and that was reassuring itself
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to the American people. A renewed emphasis on fiscal restraint
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of our government DOGE was a large part of that. Again,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: made people feel more confident in their government. Trump is
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: consistently pushed for cutting wasteful spending, targeted bloated bureaucracies, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: challenged runaway federal programs. Even the signal of restraint matters.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: When investors and lenders believe government spending will be controlled,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: inflation expectations drop, which is exactly what we're seeing now.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: All of this has turned into one thing. Now it
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: showing in the real numbers. So what is the massive
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: takeaway from this? This is a gigantic win for every American,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: especially lower and middle class American families. The drop in
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: inflation to two point seven percent didn't happen by accident,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and it didn't happen despite Donald Trump's policies. It happened
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: because of Donald Trump's policies. Energy dominance lowered costs, economy
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: wide tariffs restored balance without triggering price spikes. Deregulation reduced
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: hidden inflation, confidence, return to the markets, fiscal discipline, signal stability.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: The so called experts yet again predicted disaster. The data
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: delivered a reality check to them. So this inflation report
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: isn't just good news. It's proof that Trump's economic playbook
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: works even under intense political and global pressure. Thank goodness,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: we have a present that's willing to stay the course
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: and not chase an approval rating number. And now what
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: we're witnessing is the real effects of what Trump's economy
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: is at the end of his first year. And now
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you know what to expect moving into twenty twenty six.
