Part 4/8:
The episode critiques how the Democrats initially demanded sweeping changes: restoration of all spending, undoing electoral mandates, and continued funding for controversial programs such as the illegal migrant healthcare pipeline. Over time, these demands have been whittled down, now focusing solely on Obamacare subsidies—a much narrower issue that, insiders argue, was never the original focus.
The host points out that Democrats own the legislation that set the expiration dates for Obamacare subsidies through the Inflation Reduction Act, implying that their current crisis is of their own making. The notion that this is a “crisis” driven by Republicans is dismissed as disingenuous.
