The government is shut down and all of the MAGA Republicans are running around lying to everybody and saying that the Democrats are doing it.

And they're lying because what they're trying to do is take away health care from their very own supporters.

And here to discuss this is Senator Chris Murphy from

Connecticut. Senator, how are you today? Hey, what's up guys? Thanks for having me. Yes.

You're here. How's it going in Washington? I mean, well, I mean, listen, Republicans, as you mentioned,

are so determined to get away with this thievery, right, cutting health care for millions of Americans

so that they can pass along a giant tax cut to their Mar-a-Lago buddies that they're willing to

shut down the government. And we're on day two, you know, and this is where it starts to hurt

because you're going to start to have real pain as folks don't get paychecks

in a week or two and Head Start centers start to turn away kids.

But you know, the pain, the cruelty has always been the point for these guys.

It's all about making people's lives miserable folks who struggling, so that they can enrich their corporate

and billionaire buddies. So it's sad, but it's just a righteous fight. I mean, that's what it comes

down to for me. So as Trump gets more sort of brazen in his illegality as he starts to hold up

funding for Democratic states and he

starts to threaten to fire employees that he has no legal right to fire. You know, for me, it just

makes my spine stiff. It doesn't, it's not, it's not for me a reason to start to acquies

because that's how bullies wins. So hopefully that's what the rest of my

colleagues are feeling as well. I have something. I want to tell you, I appreciate that you're

one of the people in the Democratic Party that is fighting because it doesn't seem like the Democratic

leadership is. But I will tell you what offends me the most about this government shutdown.

And there's a ton of them. But my number one is Donald Trump is continuing with to enrich Argentina.
