This message presented by the Arizona Interscholastic Association and the Arizona Interscholastic Athletic administrator says. This is a man like in the morning from Westwood One News I'm John trout It's Wednesday December 4th 2019 coming up on American Morning the House Intelligence Committee impeachment report is out this is about our democracy this is about our national security I'm Linda Kenyon in Washington in London President Trump defends NATO but has a lengthy spat with finances president McComb by Bob Constantini another Democrat pulls out of the presidential race I'm Bill Michaels in Washington after months of claiming innocence to campaign finance fraud done nothing wrong public and Representative Duncan Hunter pleads guilty in federal court in San Diego I'm Jim Roope stocks in the red with the Dow taking its biggest tumble in 3 months on trade war worries investors are asking when is this thing going to and I'm Jessica adding her ever heard of Atlas Obscura the Out to care website that could Care dot com which is how they both stock is now has 20000 places I've just bought added with more coming up all ahead on America in the morning. 7 minutes now after the hour the House Intelligence Committee releases their impeachment report as the process moves to the next phase correspondent Linda Kenyatta has our top story it's a $300.00 page report that details what it describes as presidential misconduct and obstruction of Congress Committee chairman Adam Schiff put it this way it involves a scheme in which Donald Trump withheld official acts a White House meeting as well as hundreds of millions of dollars of needed military assistance in order to compel that power to deliver to investigations that he believed would assist his reelection campaign it is a scheme says Schiff that's a President Trump strong arming a u.s. Ally for the president's personal political gain this report chronicles a scheme by the president I'd States to coerce an ally Ukraine that is at war with an adversary Russia into doing the pleasure the president's political dirty. Works the report says the schema showed the president put his own interests above those of the nation this is about whether the American people have a right to expect that the president I States is going to act of their interests with their security of mind and not for some illicit personal or political reason House minority leader Kevin McCarthy accuses chairman Shifa of bending the facts Adam had made his mind up long before he just didn't have the proof so he had to write his own story and McCarthy accuses the Democrats of trying to undo the results of the 2016 election they're concerned that if they do not impeach this president they can't beat him in an election the report does not recommend specific articles of impeachment leaving those decisions to the House Judiciary Committee which takes up the next phase of the impeachment process later today but in a section marked key findings of fact the report concludes that the president directed executive branch agencies to defy lawful subpoenas and withhold the production of all documents and records from the investigating committees that he directed current and former executive branch officials not to cooperate with the committees including in defiance of lawful subpoenas for testimony and that he intimidated threatened and tampered with perspective on actual witnesses in the impeachment inquiry in an effort to prevent delay or influence the testimony of those witnesses House minority leader Kevin McCarthy doesn't buy it there's nothing compelling there's nothing overwhelming fellow Republican Jim Sensenbrenner who sits on the House Judiciary Committee doesn't feel the president did anything impeachable either I don't think the president has committed an impeachable offense no president should be above the law but they shouldn't be below the law either the president says Adam Schiff believes he is above the law and that's something Congress cannot ignore if the Congress allows a president to so fully and blanket Lee obstruct the work of Congress even involving an impeachment Avesta geishas into the president's own misconduct then we are begging for more of the same Linda Kenyon Washington 10 now after the hour another day of NATO meetings on tap for President Trump and leaders. Of the 27 other nations that make the alliance Bob Constantini has more it would have been unheard of the past 2 years but President Trump is a great defender of the NATO alliance relatively pleased that he pressured some member nations to boost their own levels of defense spending but we've increased the numbers a user pays by a $30000000000.00 And while European leaders have worried Mr Trump might try to blow up the alliance France's president Emmanuel McCall arrived saying he thinks NATO is brain dead very very necessary say or to essentially 20. 1 here trying to. Put greater France France is not doing well economically at all another factor France is tacking on new terrorist for u.s. Technology imports and then they met media were allowed to stay in as the president made his French counterpart and the microphones were there as they aired out their differences on top of a blossoming trade war between the 2 countries McCall was one of the European leaders to criticize President Trump's decision to withdraw a small contingent of u.s. Forces from northern Syria what would you like surmise ISIS fighters could give them if you could say everyone you want. We're not going to find the wrong. Place the move by Mr Trump also allowed Turkey to take over parts of northern Syria and force Kurds out Turkey's attacks on Kurds is a sore spot in fact crones updated relations with President Trump when I. Say no fighting against those who fight with this. Show the show that they're going to fight with microphones and cameras present the American leader did not specifically counterpunch but did say the Kurds are in good shape and helping keep ISIS prisoners locked up a lengthy question and answer session with reporters for the president in his opening remarks at the NATO meetings in London well he's often said a trade agreement with China is near helping prop up American stock markets optimism in short supply now you want to. Make it so where it is better to go at it with missed. Trump says he's happy with tariffs on Chinese imports bringing in billions of dollars and China's technology theft is supposed to be a topic for NATO leaders as they gather I'm Bob Constantini it's 12 after coming to Harris is ending her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 more from Correspondent Bill Michael Senator Harris told supporters in an e-mail Tuesday that her campaign simply did not have the financial resources to continue there's also released a video to Twitter with the news I've taken stock and I've looked at this from every angle and over the last few days I have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life a senior campaign aide says Harris made the decision Monday after discussing the path forward with family and other top officials over the Thanksgiving holiday her departure erodes the diversity of the Democratic field whose top tier is white and mostly male Bill Michael's Washington the Justice Department has charged 8 people with conspiring to conceal the source of more than $3500000.00 in 2016 campaign donations to Hillary Clinton the $53.00 count indictment unsealed yesterday in federal court in Washington it's 13 past coming up congressman pleads guilty of misusing campaign funds when American Morning returns after these messages.

Of our elections by this president but we also invited of the next president shift also accused of obstructing congressional investigations speaking in London at the big NATO summit the president again scoffed at impeachment we had to decide and maybe month after we had less whatever it was unbelievable I had my best hold of at the Republican Party is that it is there you know as it is right now I have never seen a Trump also said he is winning so big and he called House Democratic leaders de ranged I'm Terry Moore in Washington 22 till now welcoming in his guests health care is in the spotlight with Jimbo Hannan we're joined by Seth densities president and co-founder of g.d.p. Advisors and also the author of the new book The Cure from Clover cross publishing subtitle a blueprint for solving America's health care crisis regarding Obamacare a couple of things 1st of all I was signed up so he had to sign up there are continuing to go on I'll go on through December the 15th for affected 8th of January 1 in general sign ups are. Consistent where where they have been in the past last year saw a little bit of a decline roughly 300000 fewer overall sign ups but in general the Affordable Care Act is still very much the law of the land and available to consumers across the country and this year unique 2 years in the past the average rate of increases is significantly less than it's been in the past then there is a federal lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality again of Obamacare it is at this time last year Judge Reed O'Connor out of Texas ruled that the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional as part of a law that was passed in 2017 a budget reconciliation law where in the the federal tax mandate was reduced to 0 dollars and as such it was ruled in the lower courts that because the individual mandate penalty was no longer really validated that in turn the the Affordable Care Act was no longer validated as well it is currently in the 5th circuit and we would expect a ruling on the 5th Circuit really any day now I never understood the original Supreme Court ruling that Obamacare was a tax and therefore constitutional the instant they declared to be a tax the law was then acted unconstitutionally all taxes that is to say revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives Obamacare originated in the Senate now that may sound like constitutional nit picking to some but such is the basis of living under a system of laws and yet the Supreme Court seemed to overlook that it did indeed matter fact one what one could argue that it was the supreme court that made it a tax that that was the argument back the Democratic led legislature fought to make it not a tax because they didn't like the idea of taxing Americans as a political statement but unfortunately want to read got to the Supreme Court it quickly became a tax and it was found constitutional as a tax because Congress has the right to tax the challenge with the law that is been overturned by. Joe Connor in the 5th circuit is today why I think at the end of the day the Affordable Care Act will be upheld if attacked didn't actually go away it just was reduced to 0 dollars so that if it were used to 0 by definition it goes away right I mean if I I face a tax that 0 dollars and 0 cents I'm not being taxed I mean that's that's that's what I think we would call stupid lawyer tricks Well it is but the foundation of the law if you remove the law is still very clearly says state that there's an individual mandate and then and then effectively a u.s. Citizen has the choice of electing insurance to purchase insurance or paying the tax and the taxes here forth that at the row dollars All right tell us a bit about what you've written in the cure that somebody ambitious subtitle a blueprint for solving America's health care crisis so mighty good my exhibit a work at all that now for close to a century yeah and I think that if we would just take a basic economic approach to health care we could actually solve this thing versus a bureaucratic approach to one and what I've done it over the last 20 years of my being in the industry of look at the system and how it operates and we have a great health care system in the United States but the challenge that we have is the cost of it and there are a lot of things that Washington could do to drive down the cost that they really want to get serious about it and allow the consumer to drive the market which it doesn't every other aspect of our economic system and so I actually sat down and wrote this book after the Republican led push to to overturn the Affordable Care Act and really sat down and said Here are the compromises that could be made that would actually solve the problems of health care in the United States most of the problems seem to be if you go more toward a centralized system more people are covered and yet it seems that coverage is only on paper in some cases the people can't get the procedures done that's right well you know if you did extend to a we'll call it a. Medicare for all or universal health care system in the United States a couple of key things happen One is we just quite frankly don't have the infrastructure to support every American having unlimited free access to health care you would look no further than across the pond to see restricted coverage in places like Great Britain or the national health care system but you also have this loss of innovation the United States is responsible for roughly 70 percent of all the world innovation health care and that's because of our capitalistic system and if we if we forfeit that if we go away from that we lose medical innovation in the process and yet none the less I mean nobody needs insurance to cover an aspirin I mean we need insurance for the catastrophic health care the the thing where you discover your kids going to die unless he gets $50000.00 worth of treatment a month that's what we needed surance for that's exactly right and that's what it was originally intended to be it's morphed into what it is today which is really what I call the minimum payment on the credit card and and people are walking around wanting to cover their flu shots and everything through their health insurance but we should just pay for those things we should be a consumer shop for them like we do for every other goods and service that we get and then have insurance for the big stuff the things that are life and death scenarios and if we would move back into a system more of that structure the actual overall cost of the system would go down greatly so that the president and co-founder of g.d.p.
