Theo: "Who is behind the healthcare/insurance...that whole thing? It feels like Chuck Schumer is [a] deviant mastermind back there somewhere?"

Trump: "Well, he is one of the people that has hurt- he is one of the people that keeps the prices high."

They are both idiots. I don't necessarily blame Theo. Trump is an impossible guest for something like this. You kind of need someone who knows what they are talking about and is honest for "Non-Expert Talks to Politician" stuff and Trump checks neither of those boxes. Listening to Trump, it is pretty clear that he doesn't really know what he is talking about most of the time and is just bullshitting. 

Well, it's a least addressing issues, not once have I seen the other side pressed on issues. You got this side that you say are idiots but you got the other side who just skirts around the issue and says a whole lotta nothing, nice soundbites that'll make them sound intelligent and make you think they are saying something but they're really not saying anything at all. 

Except they didn't address the issues. They mostly pivoted to lobbying and even on that front, Trump didn't endorse much in the way of solutions. 

As far as Harris, given how late she started her campaign, she doesn't have a complete platform available on every issue but the talking point that she doesn't talk about issues is nonsense (especially when Trump is the counterpoint). For example, do you want to talk about medical debt? Harris has pointed to the fact that she has prevented medical debt from being included on credit reports and worked with Biden to begin price negotiations for prescription drugs for Medicare patients. These negotiations will expand every year. As for her future plans, she has highlighted North Carolina's Medical Debt Relief Incentive Program as a model and has promised to work with states on similar proposals to forgive medical debt. 

Since he didn't really talk about it here, what is Trump's plan to deal with medical debt?
