0:00.0	Welcome, everybody.
0:08.3	I've been teasing this all week and now let's actually do it.
0:11.6	I want to talk about the slice of America, the Trump voters, who are going to get absolutely
0:20.1	steamrolled by the policies of their dear leader in a second
0:24.6	term, some of whom are already seeing this firsthand with the brief Medicaid state system
0:31.6	frees out earlier this week and in other ways. As always, the people who cheer the loudest for Trump
0:39.5	are often the ones who end up holding the bag when the dust settles. So first I want to look
0:44.7	at the rural working class voters. This is the backbone of Donald Trump's base, and these are
0:50.6	some of the folks that if Trump gets his way are going to be absolutely brutalized.
0:56.7	These are the folks who apparently bought into Trump's promises of bringing back manufacturing jobs,
1:04.6	revitalizing coal, imagine that, making the United States, the economic powerhouse that it supposedly once was.
1:12.7	But the thing is that Trump's trade wars, which he's doubling down on in 2025,
1:18.4	are already wreaking havoc on farmers and small businesses, and there's only going to be more of it if Trump gets his way.
1:25.3	Tariffs on foreign goods, sure, they sound very tough, but they mean
1:30.2	equipment will be more expensive, supplies will be more expensive, consumer goods are going to be
1:35.5	more expensive, and when other countries retaliate with their tariffs, it's the farmers in Iowa
1:41.9	and the factory workers in Ohio who are going to get hit the hardest.
1:46.4	But at least Trump got to tweet about winning again, right?
1:51.0	There's some Pyrrhic victory there, maybe.
1:54.8	Then we go to the health care debacle.
1:57.4	Trump has promised yet again to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The problem is he still has no plan to replace it with anything of substance. The attempt that Trump previously made to do that in 2017 was analyzed. And if it had become the law, it didn't. Even Republicans were like, this is crazy. But if it had become the law, Trump's 2017 plan would have led to 24 to 32 million people losing health care coverage. So they didn't do it. August of 2020, Trump said his health care plan was two weeks away. During debates in 2024, Trump said he had concepts of a plan. Later, he was asked about it again.
2:37.2	He said the concepts are developing. But when millions of Americans, many of them in red states,
