00:00Recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Republican Majority Leader said, you can be what you want in America. That's what he said. But you can't be what you want in Republicans, America. Factually, the top 1% of billionaires and millionaires in America are worth more than the 291 million Americans, 90% of the country, because we're rigging the economy against them.
00:28That's what Republicans are doing. 801 U.S. billionaires have $6 trillion of wealth, and now Republicans want to give a $4.5 trillion tax cut to the wealthiest billionaires. That's what Donald Trump said. You're rich as hell. We're going to give you more tax cuts.
00:47And on the backs of working Americans, because voting yes for this resolution is voting for a minimum of $880 billion cuts to Medicaid. That's health care taken away from 72 million Americans.
01:02That's nursing homes taken away for 5 out of 8 seniors. And that's health care taken away for 38 million kids. Vote no on this disastrous Republican resolution.
01:13Good.
