in 2018, steward shutdown the regional medical center in youngstown, ohio, closing the only labor andery unit in that city for pregnant women and their babies, and laying off 468 healthcare workers in the process. last year, stuart shutdown the texas physical healthcare center, the main healthcare option for san antonio's southside after he missed over $650,000 in payments to medical suppliers, leaving the hospital with a severe shortage of respiratory masks among many other things. last month, state regulators required steward to shut down st. luke's behavioral center in phoenix, arizona. after they found that it had been without air conditioning in phoenix, as temperatures soared past 100 degrees for me putting more than 70 patients at risk of heat exposure. steward has also shutdown pediatric wards in massachusetts, louisiana , closed neonatal units in florida, texas, and eliminated maternity services at a hospital in florida. we know that steward has gone bankrupt . we know that several of its hospitals have already been forced to close their doors , because they ran out of money.

>> it's such a tragic -- i come from outside of youngstown, ohio, old industrial town. hard times. they're trying to repopulate, rebuild. the business owners want these workers. the republican represented that area for a long time said there's zero problem. were they trying to assimilate -- yes, do they need help with health care and housing? yes, there are issues. and the people love the haitian immigrants who came. i think this is an indicator, willie, just how crass donald trump and jd vance are. they don't give a damn about who they use, which bodies they step over in the process to gain power. and i think it's sickening that they would use these immigrants. all they want to do is scare people. they want to scare us about immigrants. they want to scare everybody about the liberals trying to get you. transgender coming to get you. world war iii is going to happen. the economy is going to collapse. it's so fear-based. i think they're two scared little boys that want everybody else to be scared with them. how hard is it going to be, i spent 20 years in congress, joe, y
