Republican Leaders, Healthcare Chaos, and 15 Years of Empty Promises

(00:01.026)

Republican losers and healthcare. I’m gonna take it back in time. This was the first Tea Party, first Tea Party event when it first got kicked off. 2009, April 15th, 2009, I gave a speech, thousands of people. This was in Southwest Florida, Sarasota. And I started off my speech and I said, I said, listen, I said, I’m up here. I’m not here to go after

Democrats not gonna do it not going after Democrats. I’m not going after Obama at least they’re honest At least they are honest in the sense that when they say they’re gonna do something they do it and they get it done I’m sick and tired of Republicans that say they’re gonna do something and they don’t follow through I actually did a piece on this and talked about this a long time ago. It was

I talked about the size of government and I compared it to Steve McQueen’s blob. 1956, bloated by the blood of its victims. Yeah, that’s government as it continues to get bigger and bigger and bigger. I’m watching these Republican losers, because that’s what they are. You can, that old song by Beck from the 1990s. I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? Republican loser, I’m watching this.

bacon on with Thomas Swozy from Long Island. Oh, we got to worry about the here and now that those two want to extend the Biden, Biden Obamacare subsidies for two years. And you know, what’s funny is this, we’re gonna do away. We’re gonna put income limits in and we’re gonna do away with a lot of the fraud. How? Because in what they’re proposing doesn’t say anything, doesn’t say anything.

about doing away anything in regards to income limits doesn’t say anything in regards to doing away with fraud. We even talking about it here on the program. 90 % of the people that putting in fraudulent applications, fake social security, no income verification, they get subsidies. Oh, you’re going to change that all of a sudden. They’re saying they’re able to deal with that, but they’re saying they cannot deal with the entire problem with

(02:22.816)

Obamacare in the first place, that’s going to take years. Meanwhile, again, they’ve had 15 years of Republicans, losers. Yeah, there’s my Ace Ventura, pet detective, sub reference, losers. So you want to extend this. Democrats, they want to extend it for three years. That’s the non-compromised position.

the compromise position where I got, don’t know, got like 13 Democrats, 13, excuse me, 13 Republicans signed off on this. They want to extend it for two. Democrats just want to make it three. Make it three. How about this? This is what I would do if I was here. So, okay, you want to extend for three? It’s going to cost how much? How much is it going to cost to extend for three years? I tell you what, let’s cut that from someplace else in the budget.

(03:20.174)

Cut that from someplace else in the budget. It’s that simple. It’s that important. It’s that important. You’re the one. but it’s going to not allow this to happen. My people’s insurance is going to go up by $2,000. They’re not going to afford it. I tell you what. OK, fine. We’re going to operate like Americans. We the people have to operate. no. I got a hole in the roof of my house. I’m going to fix that.

How much money do I have to budget? you know what? I can’t afford it. I’m going to have to take it out of our vacation fund. Looks like we can’t go on vacation, but at least we’ll fix the roof on the whole of roof of our house. You can’t do that. Cut somewhere else. You want all this money? And it’s a lot of money. A lot of money. You want to hand all this money to these insurance companies?

cut it someplace else out of the budget. Yeah. Oh, Republicans, you want this? Cut it out of the defense budget. Let’s see you do it. No, I didn’t think so. No, I didn’t think so. You’re just going to print more money. You’re going to borrow more money and you’re to put it on my kids and grandkids credit card. Losers. Losers. In all due respect. Here’s another. I’m to get I know I’ve mentioned this before. OK, this is I’m going to give you real world.

Okay, what’s going on? The insurance companies right now are, how shall I put this? Pissing in their pants. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, you don’t think that there’s, you think the American people, oh, am I insured, oh, we’re looking at these costs and insurance premiums are gonna go up? Don’t pay it. Sorry, can’t afford it. Well, then I can’t go, no.

Just go. I’m telling you right now, just go. Continue to go. Don’t pay the bill. What are they gonna do? What are you gonna do? The Legals do it all the time.

(05:24.056)

Illegal’s doing it all the time. I’m telling you right now. You gotta buy, you gotta pay for that insurance. You had your mind? Don’t pay it. What do you think is gonna happen to the stock price of all these insurance companies? Everybody’s just like, you know what? Yeah, I’m not gonna buy it. Not gonna buy it, sorry. Not gonna do it.

No, force their hand. Insurance companies don’t allow that to happen. They’re gonna have to figure something out. They’re gonna have to lower their prices. they’ll hold out for a little bit. But as that stock price tanks, which it will, they’re gonna have to do something. They’re gonna have to do something. Let’s, I’m gonna be perfect.

(06:09.688)

Do your own homework. Trust me on this. Why don’t you go and take a look at the recipients of donor money from the insurance companies and their executives and see where that money goes. See what members of Congress continue to get massive checks from the health insurance companies. yeah, it’s just gonna flow. It’s gonna flow. It’s just flowing to them. had a status quo. They don’t wanna change anything. This, again.

This is part of the problem. Okay, and I want you to pay very close attention. This is a teachable moment to many out there. I did my podcast a couple days ago, talked about the enemy, know, almost famous. You’re on the left, you’re on the right. For the most part, most part, we want the same things. We want what’s best for our neighbors, our fellow citizens.

The people in Washington, D.C. have managed to do is they’ve managed to, smart on their part, Machiavellian type stuff, Pitting us against one another. Pitting us against one another. And they had to say that we can save you, they can save you, they’re ripping you off, they’re this, they’re that. They’re the enemy in D.C. They’re not there for us. They’re not there.

to help you, again, they’re gonna tell you that we’re looking out for the folks, we’re doing all that. They’re not doing crap, okay? It’s by design, okay? They keep us focused on each other and fighting each other and watching arguments on Fox News or CNN or MSNBC, that’s the crap, that’s day one.

Hey, what do you think? You don’t think that we’re having a grand old time for crying out loud. Money keeps flowing. And you take a look at their the net worth of these people, the type of money that they make. They’re glorified influencers for crying out loud. That’s all they are. They’re not there for us by any stretch of the imagination. You want to

(08:34.988)

New Year’s resolution for 2026. This would be one of the best things. This would be great for the country, okay? Stop, stop watching political influencers that are just married to one side. I’m not talking about actual free thinkers out there. Free thinkers equal opportunity bashers. And I know I’m biased because I’m one of them. I’m one of them. Will you come to this podcast?

you know, it’s like the Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates. You never know what you’re to get here on the program in regards to what direction I’m going to go, who I’m going to back, who I’m going to go against. What you are going to get is I’m going to be brutally honest. I’m not going to take any side. You look at all these influencers out there. Scott Jennings is a genius. I’m under at CN. He’s paid. He is paid handsomely. Handsomely to.

Always back the president no matter what. Have you ever heard him not back the president? Yeah, you have. That was before he was getting paid to back the president. How do you give that guy any credibility? What, he’s got some snide comments? I’m not saying that he’s wrong all the time. He’s right. But again, he’s not a reliable source. Stop paying attention to those people. Stop paying attention to political interests and stop watching the

Damn, debate shows on cable news. In fact, turn them off. Turn them off. How much better would the country be if they just the ratings went in the toilet and they just went away? Went away. I know, I’m sure they’d have to probably manufacture some scandal or some war somewhere to get people paying attention again and glued to the TV. You know, it was funny. I just thought about this. There was a was a Simpson episode.

Simpson episode years ago where they had all of the network’s heads meeting because they were trying to get ratings and they’re all summer the shark is sold out they came up with I kid you not cat flu cat flu and great Simpsons episode but again it was basically playing saying this is what they do

(10:54.19)

Don’t allow them, okay? You’re letting them live in your head, okay? You wanna make the country better, because I think most of us do. Most of us do, most of are frustrated with what goes on in Washington, D.C., local.

Local I don’t I don’t turn on Okay, i’m turning loose. I don’t know what’s the point? great. I’m up little cable news. I watch CNBC in the morning That’s it squawk box That’s it And again, you got three anchors up there and you know, you got a guy that’s on the right got becky quick was the best female in the country by far And you got andrew ross sorkin who’s on the left?

Decent human being, good guy, and they have debates and they talk about things. They have different opinions and it’s okay. It’s best by far. There’s nothing better. You’re gonna watch Squawk Box. I know a lot of people are not into the business, but they cover a bit of everything. And I don’t always agree with them, but it’s still the best. There’s nothing better out there. Fox and Friends? Yo, in between them kissing Trump’s ass at this point in time and having some barbecue guy commercial outside. I mean, come on. I don’t wanna lose brain cells. It’s either that or I watch my local news.

I’m going to old school. I’m watching local news. Pay attention to what’s going on in your community. I know this veered off track. He’s talking about health care. But again, it’s par for the course for everything. For everything. This is who these people are. And it was, you know, again, I’ll veer again, veer again. I gave credit to Ron DeSantis. And again, it’s a no brainer.

know what Ron DeSantis was pushing for again yesterday? Term limits. That’s right. Term limits. Not in the state of Florida, he’s termed out as governor, national. Members, Congress, everything. Term limits. I’ve talked about this for years. And again, it’s not just termed out of the House or the Senate. You need to be termed out of Washington, D.C. Yeah.

(13:08.29)

You need to leave. You need to get the hell out. That’s right. Ten years. That’s my thing. You get ten, you get a decade. You get a decade, you can, I don’t care. Ten years, you can be in the House, be in the Senate. you know, that’s eight years right there. You run for the presidency, you I’m sorry, you got two years, you gotta leave. That’s it. That’s all you get. Ten years, go home, get yourself a real job. You stay there for too long. Yeah, it’s…

You all get attracted to that ring of power. know, Tolkien was on to something there. The precious. I want the precious. And again, it’s all about power. All about power and again, making yourself enormously wealthy.
