I believe she is saying "hole", referring to a financial predicament.

"My favourite part of looking at this hole ... we got in this hole ... uh, uh ... one billion ... uh ... one trillion dollars on tax cuts for the rich under George Bush. We got into this hole two trillion dollars on two wars that we put on a credit card for our children and grandchildren to pay off ..."

"My favourite part of looking at this hole" does not totally make sense to me.

"a Medicare drug program that's (a) was not paid for, and (b) is 40% more expensive than it needs to be because it was a giveaway to the drug companies."

She meant to say "that" not "that's".

At 0:37-0:40

"So when you check, I mean that's just four trillion right there."
