Speaker 1 (01:17):
All Right, thank you, good afternoon, and happy Wednesday. As
we head into a Thanksgiving and the holiday season, millions
of Americans who rely on affordable healthcare continued to worry
as it was leaked that President Trump was set to
unveil a new healthcare plan aiming to temporarily extend Affordable
Care Act subsidies. That didn't happen. It was delayed due
to backlash from House Republicans, King Jeffries telling CNN.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
These Republican extremists have been playing games with the healthcare
of the American people all year, and things appear like
they're going to get worse because of Republican unwillingness to
address the Affordable Care Act tax credit issue in advance
of the end of this year.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Jeffrey says that despite the headlines. There are Republicans in
the House and Senate who are in of the extension.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
But unfortunately House Republican leaders have zero interest in doing that.
This is the same group of people who have brought
us this Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating people all
across the country. Keep in mind that Republicans this year,
in their one Big Ugly Bill, enacted the largest cut
to Medicaid in American history.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Republicans remained divided, with many still wanting to repeal Obamacare altogether.
The President recently agreed, but admitted that he may have
to back down and call for the proposed two year extension.
The expiration of the tax credits could double in some cases,
leaving millions of Americans without health care. Meanwhile, after a
decade in office, DC Mayor African American Mural Bowser says
it's time to pass the baton. She made the announcement Tuesday. Bowser,

(02:43):
the district's first black woman mayor, serve three consecutive terms.
She faced some pretty tough fights managing DC through the pandemic,
the removal of the Black Lives Matter mural, federal job losses,
and most recently, National Guard deployments along with pressure from
President Trump. She spoke about the Bowser effect on ms
NOW earlier today.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
I have tried my level best to deliver DC out
of an unprecedented situation where President who's allowed by law
to declare an emergency here did so. And I got
us out of that emergency. And we are going to
be on track to reshape our economy and get back

(03:21):
to the DC.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
We all love.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Bowser's tenure featured historic lows and unemployment record, housing startups,
and other challenges. She championed her leadership will always be
deeply connected to DC's black community, and as a native,
she says it's time for new leadership and the door
is wide open and finally, Detroit native CC Winings will
deliver the national anthem at the eighty six Thanksgiving Classic

(03:43):
game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers.
Winans call the opportunity a blessing and recently reflected to
the media how football, family, and food have always been
staples in their family life and by the way, the
Lions and Feeding America are partnering up to address hunger,
calling on viewers to donate and for ticket holders to
pitch in and make meal kiss before the kickoff. Stay informed,
