I also asked her if Dems should file impeachment articles. Here's the key exchange on all this:

The release of the Epstein files will never happen. It's not to protect Trump's "friends." What friends? Trump is loyal to no one. I think he ordered Epstein's death. It's always smelled fishy. Guards both take a break at the same time. Camera misfunctions... And Epstein had evidence on Trump.

Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

Could someone please ask him -- or any Republican -- how this is supposed to reduce costs?
Trump: "We want a healthcare system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. We're gonna be working on that very hard over the next short period of time. Where the people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars."
