Everyone else in that room. The late senator john mccain was so right, i thank god for the words he said before he passed away, he talked about oppressing and suppressing the press, if you begin down that line you begin a dictatorship, who are we in 2018 . What are we . Fred time such as this i just think about that in these books that are out right now, its not a coincidence about these books talking about the dysfunction god bless him, he has gone into the stratosphere because he has painted the picture that we already knew but he is putting something to it and he is giving you texturing contents and even amoroso with her takes, god bless her, i wish her well. [laughter] and then you have me, we are all talking about the dysfunction, there is some kind of commonality that is true and bob woodward, how you gonna call bob woodward an idiot, bob woodward was part of that reporting team that uncovered what . Watergate. Uncovered what . Watergate. And for many of you who were around at that time, you remember what it smelled like what it tasted like and what it felt like, president nixon tried to do what . Discredit the reporters and look at what happened. And then in 2018 what is happening again . Theres a threat and theres a reason for that, theres a reason for that, were still trying to find out, but there is a reason for that. So, ill start off with chapter one of my book. The chapter is called the rebuke and from i think about how, when donald trump decided to run, people thought it was a joke. Stop it cspan is filled, be careful, behave. And then, even his own party the Republican Party, the Republican Party says was not going to happen i will never forget a cold night in washington, d. C. And listen to this this is in chapter one, going to paraphrase it because i want you to read it. [laughter] i didnt mean it the way it came out but yeah, its a good idea. I will never forget a cold night in washington, d. C. I was leaving the white house invited to the Republican National committee and Reince Priebus at the time was the head of the rnc and year sean spicer with the consultant for the rnc. They had at some of the of the crop black reporters to parents because they were the black vote yes. They were on the dry thing this is what were going to do it is going to happen if it happened before i were going to clinch it because this is what we are going to do enemy and myself im always raising my hand i said, wait a minute, theres a candidate out there in this field of 25000, i said that is talking of vision and its not about coming together are unifying to win. And i will never forget how rights and sean were up against a wall like theyre the kingmakers, like they knew what was going to happen. Its gonna happen this way. When i said, but you have a candidate who is dividing the nation on race and i said, how are you going to get him to conform to what you want . And he said well hes going to need our data. What we found from donald trump cold words, at events and these private rallies addressed against the press and i think about how he galvanized people how he brought people together. We are like minded people in this church listening to something tonight. There is another side that uses the same formula but in a different manner. You have to think critically when youre watching the news. Sometimes things just arent rate. Another tactic that trump used came to me in an aha moment in the summer of 2017 i took my kids to new york city to see the Broadway Musical wicked for the third time. See mac more importantly to see Shirley Brouse who played madame marable. The headmistress of the school. My friend was the first black woman to play on broadway. They make the green which the wizard of oz. Mind you wicked it was published in 1985 and the plate was a Broadway Musical in 2003. It was laid well before donald trump decided to make a condom common enemy. Have a bring people together. Find a common enemy. There was a lot of other stuff. And we see it now with the press. The press is a threat with the enemy of the people. We are asking questions that make sense we are asking questions that help america.

Youre looking live at Trinity United Methodist church home of the savannah book festival we will be back with more author programs in just a few minutes. While we wait for the next author event to begin we want to show you a portion of this weekends afterwards program. Specific research institutes. They offered their offer their thoughts on health care reform. You are from canada and you mention that a number of times. Being a native you have seen it firsthand. I grew up under it. The federal government fully took over. In 1984. No a private coverage is allowed for anything considered medically necessary. A couple of things that arent. All procedures were the same. The government is not involved. In canada and 84 the government took it over. I worked at the Fraser Institute where we started a project in 1988. A guide to a hospital waiting lists. In 1983 the first year the average wait time you dont call your ob gyn in canada. In 1983 that weight was 9. 3 weeks. Last year the average wait time have increased to 20. 9 weeks. 608,000 canadians cross the border every year. Orthopedic surgeries hip replacements. Valve replacements. Things like that. They feel like their health is too important to have to wait so long. Where we can ago. Like doctors like tom price and others will be having to practice offshore. So we can continue to get the very best in medicine. The American People demand. Its a very wealthy country and my mom used to say theyre not becoming one of those in place inpatient americans. You cant get an appointment. For eight months to a year. Even though when you have a problem. A lot of people there just so polite and they dont know anything different. Most people growing up had a growing up they started under that. They were all and in 1984. There are a number of proposals out there. Is that what they head in canada the same as the sanders policies. There is no apparent private coverage for anything considered necessary. You can get private insurance if you are canadian. What they pay would not cover any of the costs here. People get private coverage for traveling. For having a private room in the hospital. Is not part of the system. Bernie sanders plans. Even more comprehensive. Over five weeks weight for seeing a primary care dr. The average weight in canada for neurosurgery is 33 weeks and for every 1 Million People 16 mri machines versus 44 in the u. S. Twentyfour in lithuania. They wanted to add a free eye care, free dental care. When they said 30 to 40 trillion for ten years. And they agreed that would be the price until he didnt. He tore told Norah Odonnell i just dont know how much my plans are going to cost. He knows it is going to be very expensive and as we decide today the increase in the federal deficit under the plan would go up 20 trillion over ten years. If you add more than canada. They tried to bring in the free free drugs several years ago. And they found out it was so expensive they just cannot afford to do it. Bernie wants to make our system even more comprehensive no referral to a specialist. The demand for health care will fall or exceed the supply of healthcare that can be given. Its probably on the low side. The two most prominent examples if you well. Medicare for all systems. There are other countries that have it. In canada and in the United Kingdom you still have an outofpocket expense. In an outofpocket responsibility as well as in denmark, norway and finland. There are some outofpocket risks expenses you have responsibility for. Canada is one of the best examples of singlepayer healthcare systems. They have what we call universal coverage system. The National Health service asserted in 1971. It covers about 90 . They allow private coverage to run parallel and there is a british policy. This is becoming more palace popular. There were over 4 million brits on a waiting list to get treatment. In the Cancer Treatment is not supposed to be delayed. More than 62 days. They have not met that standard for over five years. And more important under the World Health Organization study brits are the bottom of the run in most industrialized countries in all forms of cancer survival rates. With cancer under a government controlled system. You mentioned a few minutes ago and then obviously i be concerned how much is this can accost. The figure is 32 trillion. Not million or billion. They had costed that. That would even include if they have some reduced administrative costs. And that would be the increase in federal spending over ten years. It would be somewhere at 50 to 60 trillion over ten years. It wont be free. Taxes well had to go up. They would have to be a new 4 income tax. That is very little income in this country. And it has hit a lot of people. Thered be a new 7. 5 payroll tax. Her plan would not increase taxes on anyone in the middle class. The people that pay the employer tax are the employees. And then there would be a new tax on the wealthy. There would be new taxes on large financial institutions. If you doubled all of the Corporate Income tax in this country. It would not be enough to cover this plan. Taxes would have to go up even further and as i said it wont be free. In terms of when you were in pain and cant work. And not been able to get access to timely care. [inaudible conversations] book tvs live coverage of the savannah savanna book festival continues now.
