00:00Dustin Gardner from Politico. I'm curious what you think it says the fact that
00:03Republican leadership told their members not to hold town halls on this issue.
00:07What does that tell you about the state of play on the ground?
00:11The leadership told them not to have town hall meetings.
00:16Well, the optics have been terrible. If you see the clips from Republican town halls, they are facing their voters
00:23and their voters are making it very clear that they're unhappy with the direction
00:27that the Republican leadership in the House is going. We are holding town halls.
00:31I'm holding a town hall Thursday night, which is sold out at Carlmont High School in Belmont.
00:38And I look forward to hearing from my voters, who also, I think, are expressing just dismay
00:44at what's happening in this country. The authoritarian moves by Trump and Musk,
00:50they are at their wit's end. I'm going to hear from them. But that is our job to listen,
00:55not just to niceties from our voters, but the reality that they're facing.
01:01And I'm sure we'll also be hearing from, I'll be hearing from Medi-Cal recipients
01:05who are very concerned about the $800 billion, which, by the way, is in the resolution.
01:10The $800 billion is coming to my committee, Energy and Commerce, and we're going to fight like hell
01:15to block those cuts.
