Key Discussion Points & Insights

President Trump White House Updates

[00:43–02:16]

  The hosts open with Trump’s speech from the White House ballroom, noting, “Obviously no one knows building better than he does.” They discuss various renovations and how left-wing critics decry his changes—“they're already plotting to ‘steamroll all of it outside and turn it back into the rose garden’s crap.’”
  Quote [01:03]:
  Host: “He’s shown it off in quite a different number of fashions… it’s just, it’s a huge improvement.”

Judge Blocks Trump Administration Layoffs

  Host: “This judge… always looks the part… they come from the right part of the country.”

Obamacare — GOP Failures and Continuing Impact

[34:18–44:50]

• 2013 Showdown Revisited:
  The host delivers a passionate “first word,” recounting how GOP lost an opportunity to block the ACA due to lack of unity. Blames establishment Republicans for undermining Cruz, Lee, others, while praising their warnings as prescient.
  Quote [35:24]:
  Host: “Republicans should have dug in their heels and forced the debate. Instead...they acted like the issue is some sort of dusty relic in the attic.”
