1:05Now PlayingKentucky Governor and California Congressman on Trump's Government Shutdown
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and California Congressman Robert Garcia join Jim Acosta to discuss the Republican-led government shutdown and its real-world impacts.
Beshear explains why he considers GOP tactics "blackmail" while they control all three branches of government, detailing how Medicaid cuts threaten to close 35 rural Kentucky hospitals and force pregnant women to travel hours for care. Garcia provides updates on the Epstein files investigation, noting that newly-elected Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva hasn't been sworn in—which would give Democrats the 218th vote needed for a discharge petition to release the documents.
The conversations cover healthcare premium increases, tariff impacts on Kentucky's bourbon and furniture industries, Trump's plans to send National Guard troops into Democratic cities, and new revelations from Epstein documents including references to Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon. Beshear also discusses his approach to winning in red states and hints at considering a 2028 presidential run.About Jim Acosta:
