Bunch of jerks. You have to dominate. Will you commit here today for a peaceful transfer of power after the election. Well have to see what happens. You know that. So, some remarkable things that, actually, could be both shocking and not surprising at the same time considering that they come from donald trump. But, mika, there you had the president of the United States yesterday saying that he would not commit to a peaceful transfer of power. That was a question. So lets, again, say that for the first time in the history of this republic, you have a president of the United States, who will not commit to a peaceful transfer of power. At the same time hes asking republicans to lie to their constituents and go back on what they said four years ago and ram through a Supreme Court justice. Why . Because he needs that Supreme Court justice to vote for him on any election disputes that he stirs up. Thats that is pretty much a fivealarm fire. Thats where we are. And you invoked maya angelou in
Yeah. In the mortal words of abraham lincoln, that administration will be me. Are we sure . Are we sure he doesnt drink . I mean, i understand that would be a relief. Yeah. His brother drank, so he didnt. Weve heard that. Man, hes got to be on something. Its just fullblown crazy, mika. Yeah. Heres the thing, like, if youre going to say that, and im sorry to even try to suggest a logical sequencing to the crazy things he does, but if youre going to say that, if youre going to take that position, take it before the election. With this election as close as it is, a lot of democrats are even saying, if he had supported a 1,200, 1,500, i mean, he could have won the election. Now, hes talking 2,000. Just break the bank, mika. Ill tell ya, if he had done this earlier, as close as the election was and, also, i will say, if he were smart enough to do what i was saying he needed to do every day, which was talk about the economy, talk about the economy, talk about the economy, and then talk about
So from the standpoint of eliminating that possibility that there was in this case a conus in the United States connection, i think thats another important attribute of section 215. Thank you. General alexander, under current law when one of these socalled mistakes occurs that you refer to in your testimony, i believe you said they were somewhat less than 3000 of them had occurred, that the current law requires at the immediate report those to the fisa court, which you do. The current law does not require that the report those mistakes congress. But you do so on your own. And i assume you have no objection to us changing the law to mandate that nsa report both to the fisa court, the administration, as well as the congress for any of those instances that might occur . I personally have no objection, senator, to that. I think it makes sense. I would just add that both 2776 include executive orders and fisa court your so its all the possible areas we make across all our authorities. Only
Republicans want to repeal. Although its interesting, when you ask republicans whether they would repeal the benefits i just mentioned, when you say to them do you think its the right thing to do to let young people stay on their parents plans . Do you want to prevent seniors from getting more discounts on their Prescription Drugs . No, no. We like those. Those things are ok. So they dont like obamacare in theory, but some of the component parts, those that poll well, they dont mind. But thats already in place. Now, heres the second thing you need to know. If youre one of over 40 million americans who dont have Health Insurance, including hundreds of thousands of folks right here in maryland, starting on tuesday, five days from now, youll finally have the same chance to buy Quality Affordable Health Care as everybody else. And i want to i want to break this down for you. I want you to know exactly how it works. The major reason why people dont have Health Insurance is, not that they do
