What they're doing again is stealing money from us to do this tax cut. So I'm going to make sure that people in Wisconsin aren't getting ripped off. So I've done several town halls in Derek Van Orden's district. He's never done an open public town hall in two and a half years. So, you know, people want to be heard. I did one last week in La Crosse and 350 plus people showed up. They want to talk about those cuts to Medicaid and long term care. (07:45–07:50)
