what i want. we just went through a terrible episode here with the debt ceiling and shutdown of government. we have other deadlines imposed, 13th of december, 7th of january, 15th of january, 7th of february. real focus should be on getting a budget deal. shortly thereafter my focus is fixing my health care program and ensuring people can enroll and as we move forward. then if there s time left then focus on something else. i m for immigration reform. i m not defending the republicans but you have to understand agree with all that. you got to try to get things done. i agree with all that. but to your point it s sort of absurd the reason to oppose immigration because you don t want to hand the president a victory. you oppose it because it s bad policy you don t want people in. those are reasons to oppose it.
i think we have to look at it as a much more fundamental question. we need to break out of this washington model. i mean, this is a system that isn t working. and it s not working in the bureaucracy, it s not working in the congress, it s not working with the presidency. you re going to now see the budget committees come together for the first time in four years and we are expected to magically produce something by the 13th of december. i don t quite know how that is going happen because all of the habits of the city right now are exactly backwards. 50 minutes past the hour. deck cheney says he felt so close it dying three years ago he actually said his final farewells to his family. the doctors were rushing to implant a device in his chest to keep him alive. our dr. sanjay gupta sat down
all about. if we want things to be very efficient, you ll have one person rule. that s the most efficient way to do things. but when you have a democracy, you have to take into account everybody who is in the process, both the minority and the majority, and sometimes you have to look at the minority within the majority, and that s what s been going on with speaker boehner. so that s the way democracy works. it s not always real pretty. in fact, often it s not. but i believe it s the most effective and most productive way to get things done. so i m pleased to see that we have gotten to the point where we are today. i m not going to make any promises beyond the budget, that is beyond the 13th of december. no other thenor beyond the 1
florida, into the 20s overnight tonight. so winter is here! and it s not even officially winter on the calendar. arthel: exactly what i m thinking. i m looking at the numbers, saying those are actual numbers. i m glad you cleared that up. that s not how it feels, this is the way it is. these are not the wind chills. people need to stay indoors and watch you guys on fox. arthel: i like the way you think! bill: bah humbug on the 13th of december. january, okay, but now? you want to see how bad it was, for minneapolis, minnesota yesterday, check out this amazing videotape. that s the metro dome, cameras rolling as the inflatable roof collapses. got about 17 inches of snow on top that thing, heavy snow bringing it down, the football field, unfit for play. that s remarkable. the nfl postponed the game between they and the vikings, they will play in
trump. do you know when you became first aware of that? i believe it would have been sometime in the fall of 2017 as i think i told you last time. mr. orr was never working to my knowledge on that russian investigation. his wife was, right? like, he s your assistant your associate deputy attorney general, and his wife gets hired for that. i actually i asked you this question on the 13th of december, i wrote you a letter on the 18th of december, nine months ago, you have not responded to it. we need a date when you found out that the wife of your deputy was working for people who are actively trying to undermine president trump? don t you think that s a really important date for you to know about your the spouse of your own associate deputy attorney general? yes, i think it is important for you to understand, congressman, mr. orr is a career employee of the department. he was there when i arrived. to my knowledge he wasn t working on the russian matter. i don t i think
