so, former-president trump and governor stitt have had a lot of praise for each other. um, here s just so everyone can hear for themselves. kevin stitt. newly-elected governor of oklahoma. and excited to be here and was wonderful getting a phone call from you after our primary victory. that was a great victory. thank you. great job. we re glad to be joined, as well, by a man that i ve gotten to know. he s done an incredible job with covid and with everything else he touches. governor kevin stitt. i was so proud that 7:04, they called the state of oklahoma for my president and your president, donald j. trump. so, obviously, a lot of mutual admiration between the two of them. the point there that governor stitt makes, though, called the election at 7:04. trump did win your state by 33 percentage points. carried every county. yet, despite all that, you re going against the governor and you are doing it as a democrat.
fight. when it came to supporting our teachers, i led the way. and when it came to fighting for our public schools, especially our rural schools, i was there. and state superintendent of public instruction hofmeister is outfront. so, superintendent, lifelong republican and i know a proud one throughout your life. and now, making a decision not just to leave your party but join the democratic one. why? well first of all, thank you, erin, for having me. and, you know, this has not been a swift decision. but one where i ve had a lot of personal reflection. um, watching the leadership here in um our governor s office. where really, governor stitt has hijacked the republican party here in oklahoma. and the extremism and divisive partisanship has really left a lot of oklahomans behind, and i think there s too much to fight for to simply let that go.
$100 million a year in each state to run these. this is not a simple thing this is not off the shelf software. there is complex bureaucracy and regulate all the new regulations of the federal law and be compliant with the state regulations in each state. many states looked at rules out of the fed, guys, you will micromanage every aspect of this but we have to pay for it that doesn t make any sense for us. it is your mess and deal with it. they dumped it back on the feds. they don t have the money or mon power to do it and i think this whole law could unravel. megyn: really? at least in the states. if they get the things up and running and if they are effective in any way. megyns other aspect there is legal challenge oklahoma has brought. they argue that the irs rule that provides subsidies in federally run exchanges is unlawful. i think they have a very strong argument for that. if they prevail, there might not be new obamacare subsidies in the states that don t set up exchanges. meg
