    Yes, ma'am. I'm call from West Virginia and which was a red state for Donald Trump and they have a place called down here Public debt. And a lot of my neighbors would vote for Trump. They walking around scared, crime nervous and they were forever Trumpers. But on a personal note, I'm a diabetic and I'm on Medicare and when Joe Biden was in there, My insulin was $6 for 28 day supply. I just went to CVs to get my new supply. It went back up to $80 they said because the American Recovery act was canceled. So it went from dollar to dollar. I don't know if anybody else out there on Medicare.

    Speaker 1 yeah, there are a lot of people reporting the same thing. Now. I think it's important to be honest and accurate. The reason why people's end user cost for insulin changes are numerous and it doesn't always have to do with Trump necessarily. It depends what insurance you're on. This individual said Medicare. So that is governed by government negotiations. But others have jumped in and said, oh, you know, I have Aetna and my insulin price change. There's a lot of different reasons why this can go on. But that call is what could be the undoing of this fiasco known as Trump term number two. Now, as is always the case, I it would be wrong for me to ignore that. We've seen this game before where people suffer because of something a Republican does and somehow they figure out a way to blame Democrats. And sort of a version of that is when Obamacare started and a lot of Republican governors said we're not going to do the Medicaid expansion.

    And people in red states said Obamacare didn't work. Thanks Obama. It was actually the fault of their Republican governor. So the question as to who gets blamed is a real practical one. But the more calls like this that start floating around, the worse it's going to be for this Trump presidency and this administration. The polling is going down, inflation is going up and these calls are becoming more and more frequent. Where will we be six months from now? Scary to think about. Well, I wrote a book. After a long journey and a ton of work, I am really thrilled with how it turned out and I hope you'll read it. The book is called the Echo Machine and in a nutshell. It looks at how American politics got so broken, who has already figured out solutions, and how we can try to fix it and stop the terror of Trump for the next four years.

    With Trump winning this election, the Echo Machine couldn't be more relevant. Not only a warning about how we got here, but also about what might be coming and how to prevent the worst outcomes. We've got to stay engaged. We need a plan, and that's what the book is about. There's a belief out there that unless you have corporate media behind you, you can't have a successful political book launch, that it's not possible. I think we can prove that wrong.
