i m worried though. you guys know about this more than i do. i appear in whatever air i m in, what s the relationship between greed, selfishness and racism? oftentimes we would think that the person who is pulling back from the culture stuff, i m not that but i like this tax cut. i m not that, but i like deregulation. i m not that but i like these policies that are actually helping my small business. so you get this intersection of racism and greed and selfishness that he might be banking on. you can go from the few to the many because you think some folks are going to double down and being selfish. i want to you answer that but we asked the question about misogyny after the access hollywood tape. and i was loud and wrong. we will not elect somebody who is so flagrantly misogynist. and we did. do you have an answer? it s so interesting. i spoke with kellyanne conway for this book. she said something that really
representatives, what the public option wanted to do. it wouldn t have passed muster in the senate. it looked like a liberal program. the question here is this. would it bring the prices down enough for people? what the former vice president is betting on, is banking on, is the fact that people do not want to get rid of their private health insurance. bernie sanders, snenator warren senator harris are putting in a box and going against the liberal wing of the party. this is the most distinction he has made yet. it s a distinction that can make a world of difference. senior adviser to the biden campaign, you know this from every angle. as a general idea, a lot of people like the idea of medicare for all. that s in part because it sort of rings like it s free. medicare for all.
he left the door open and this president plans to barrel through it. so, is the president banking on chief justice roberts or constitutional legal ground as kellyanne conway describes it? i would love to know what their strategy is. bill barr, the president have said there is some sort of strategy to get this thing, excuse me, to get this thing on the census. but they had conceded a week ago. the justice department saw no way to get this on the census. the census is being printed as we speak without the question and the justice department had previously represented to the court if they couldn t get it on by a date certain by july 1st, i think it was, then they were done. and now, apparently, they re not. but no one is really willing to say what they re going to do. i think inside the justice department, i know inside the justice department there is a fear that they re on pretty shaky legal ground. they just had to swap out the whole team of lawyers that was on this case. so, i thin
for, your tax dollars here, is closed for business for the 15th day. the vice president mike pence will lead a meeting between leadership staff from both parties later this morning. you know the museums and the zoos are closed in washington. but it s so much bigger than that. and it will likely affect you or someone you know or something you care about. if this is the year that you wanted to start a small business, the agency that handles small loans for that is not processing loans right now. maybe you re planning for a major life event like getting married. congratulations, but you may have to wait because the d.c. court that handles marriage licenses is closed. and in just a few days, all federal courts could be impacted because they re projected to run out of money on january 11th. maybe you re thinking about or in the middle of buying a house. depending on your type of loan, your closing could be delayed. the irs is impacted, too. most workers there are off the job. that s great,
these people, michael cohen, paul manafort, papadopoulos, would have gotten away with it if they had not made donald trump president of the united states. i think that s what they all were banking on. you know paul manafort is saying if only, if only, if only. it is 1:52 of this hour turned into 1:53 but i guess i should bring up the government shutdown. my favorite quote of the day came from john cornyn. john cornyn for what it s worth, he doesn t speech much on camera, but when he speaks, boy are there a lot of messages here. this is what he says about the president s ultimatum to do the border wall. i don t understand the strategy, but maybe he s figured it out and he ll tell us in due course, but i don t understand it. john cornyn is he barely hides his contempt for what he thinks, i think, is wasted time. i think he s a man of efficiency, i think is a fair
