do is maintain and grow the Affordable Care Act, but I, I'll, I'll get to that, Lindsay. I just need to respond to a previous point that the former president has made. I've made very clear my position on fracking, and then this business about taking everyone's guns away. Tim Walls and I are both gun owners. We're not taking anybody's guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff. As it relates to the Affordable Care Act, understand, just look at the history to know where people stand. When Donald Trump was president 60 times he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. 60 times. I was a senator at the time when I will never forget the early morning hours when it was up for a vote in the United States Senate and the late great John McCain, who you have disparaged.

I want to move to an issue that's important for a lot of a mistake at number one, John McCain fought Obamacare for 10 years, but it wasn't only him, it was all of the Democrats that kept it going and you know what, We could do much better than Obamacare, much less money, but she won't improve private insurance for people, private medical insurance, that's another thing she doesn't want to give people are paying privately for insurance that have worked hard and made money and they want to have private.
