Governor discusses economic responsibility with Kristen (Part 2)

Prices have gone up recently. Yes, it's because of what's going on in the Strait of Hormuz. I actually just read an article from the Wall Street Journal about this. The insurance costs of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have gone up substantially even though there's more oil going through the strait today than there was pre war. And so I think that, you know, the number one thing we want for our state and for our country is we do want those gas prices coming down, that conflict coming to an end. We'll see those gas prices come down very, very rapidly. But I didn't really hear Republicans blaming gas prices on Joe Biden. I didn't hear that. So. And we did, we should note, have a number of Republicans on this program who pointed the finger at Joe Biden. But I think the question becomes Governor, do you believe Republicans, the president should take responsibility for the economy in order to win back the trust with voters that that was clearly lost in this election cycle? Oh, I do, absolutely. And I think, look, you look at the election results, they speak for themselves. Like I told you, Kristen, it's gas and groceries that was on the mind of everybody. I couldn't help but, but I did listen to what Senator Sanders was talking about, about their proposal for Medicare for all. This is going to be the next battle line in American politics. It's going to be over health care. And let's be very clear, if you want to talk about the rising costs in our country, health care is center to all of it. And we are living under Democrat healthcare policy here in the United States of America. It's been 15 years since Obamacare. The Affordable Care act was passed. We were promised that premiums were going to go down. We were promised you could keep your doctor, you could keep your plan. None of that occurred in healthcare in country the last 15 years. And instead of fixing the Affordable Care act, having market center reforms that can stabilize healthcare costs, lower healthcare costs in this country, you have Bernie and the Democrats now want government takeover of all healthcare in our country. We know that would be a failure. Care would be rationed to the people of this country. They would not be able to have the free flowing access that they currently have today. The prices would get significantly higher. Of course nobody would have to pay that directly, but it would all be paid for by future debt on the backs of our children. That's the wrong way to go. If Republicans in my view want to be serious about anything, we have to start having this real political conversation and economic conversation around health care to stabilize health care costs, lower health care costs. And there are major Republican policies that can actually stabilize and lower health care costs in this country, provide more access to the people of our country, and that will help make lives better. Governor, electricity.
