these MAGA Republican Congress members and senators are in panic mode before New years. They're going on their state regime media Fox and saying, don't you worry right around the corner. Maybe sometime in Easter, the economy is going to get better. And you've got other MAGA Republicans saying, don't worry, I know we're taking away the Affordable Care Act subsidies. We know your premiums are about to skyrocket, but we're going to come up with a plan next year. Okay, we promise you. So here you have MAGA Republican Congress member Michael Roolie. And here he says, by Easter, next Easter, I think that's when the economy starts looking a little bit better here, play this clip. And then two two thirds say that things are getting worse. This to me is a messaging issue. How do you continue to tell the American people, look, the big, beautiful bill is now law. And that is going to translate into 2026 for you. There's only one path, Cheryl, and that's going to be in the pocketbook. I think the first and second quarter of 26 is going to show a lot. Remember, all those tax cuts have not been implemented yet in the great, big, beautiful bill interest rates were just cut. I just had a meeting with my brothers yesterday. All the prices in our grocery stores are dropping like a rock. Eggs are going all the way down the 99 cents. We see the beef market is dropping. We see sugar is dropping. We see all aspects of the grocery store prices are falling gas prices in Trumbull County right $2 a gallon. Once all this starts to happen and those tax breaks happen. And I think we're going to really see an economy hopefully by Easter that is roaring. And if you want to win this midterm and you want to keep the gavel, the answer 1000% is going to be in the pocketbook. They understand what they keep. He spoke to his brothers, everybody. I mean, maybe he should speak to his constituents. Maybe he should go out himself and actually see what's happening. And I don't like how the state regime media host is like, what we really have here is just a messaging issue. No, it's an issue issue because the American people are feeling it. Then you've got Maga Republican Congress member Dan Crenshaw saying that what's really going to happen with these because the ACA subsidies don't affect anybody. It's really not what's causing your premiums to rise. And we're going to have our own plan. But it's next year. I know we took a vacation and didn't address this. But maybe next year we'll deal with it here. Play this book. You're pretty America. Your premiums are not going up because these tax credits are expiring. They affected very, very few people. And to the extent that they even affect them, you're talking about 4% of the actual increase. No, that's their plan. Let's bring a democratic Congress member Raja Christopher. I mean, you can make this stuff up. I mean, between both of them, I'll tell you what they don't want to talk about Trump's cover up of the Epstein files, which we'll talk about in a little bit. But first, this is what your colleagues are doing when they have control of all the branches of government. They could have come up with their own plans and fixed it. But now it just hopes just wait till next year, waited till the, didn't Donald Trump say on day one, this would all be fixed? He did. And obviously it hasn't happened. I can just, I can just see a viewer like kind of scratch their heads and look at the screen as they hear these guys talking and be like, you know, I was born at night, but not last night. And I think that, you know, we're kind of seeing a situation where, you know, people go to these grocery stores. They don't know what he's talking about, about a grocery store in Trumbull County that seeing prices fall like a rock. What they're seeing is prices are skyrocketing, whether it's on produce, but also just on daily staples of life, housing, health care, childcare, education. And with regard to health care, we have 22 million people who are going to see their premiums skyrocket by on average 114% according to Kaiser Family Foundation. And so for Dan Crenshaw or anyone to say that, you know, the expiration of the ACA tax credits has nothing to do with premiums increasing for people is misleading at best and just flat out false. And then they have the destruction of Medicaid that they time after the midterms. And so
