stephen paddock i know that you want to talk about drugs, that s where you always go. it s not just the nra hold on, let me pose my question to you, because it is connected to mental health. big pharma doesn t want to discuss it. jen, how does it help to have somebody mentally ill be able to print their own gun, make their own gun off a 3d printer at home? stephen paddock obtained his firearm legally i m curious, this is my question. just answer this question. how does it help to be able to have a mentally ill person create their own gun at home? mentally ill people can create their own guns regardless of the law. but this makes it easier. no laws alisyn, i m sorry you can t get this, but no law is going to stop a criminal or terrorist or crazy person i giuess we don t believe tht laws are completely ineffective. people don t believe laws never stop anything. look at chicago. chicago has more gun control laws, we already have over
other companies should pay more and americans should pay less? yeah, i think that s the idea. i mean, trump always has this obsession that we re getting taken advantage of by other countries, he does it on nato, that they re not paying enough, that other countries aren t paying enough for defense in the middle east and now he s applying it to drug prices. there may be some truth in there that they re heavily subsidized in europe and elsewhere and not as much here. but we lose the forest for the trees. the big thing he promised, the thing he said he was going to do was allow medicare to negotiate drug pirices. but big pharma doesn t want that and big pharma doesn t want us to be able to import drugs from canada and elsewhere. those two big things that he could have bun he s not doing. there s a bun of small bore stuff in here that maybe helpful at the margins but this is the not big thing he promised. it s not that other countries are better doing cheaper drugs than we, we could mayb
they could call that the novartis effected. the trump administration does do a very good job touting and ticking through trump campaign promises and when the president fulfills then what it s the paris climate accord, whether it s tpp, or most recently the iran deal. what is the white house s rational though it it can t be big pharma told us not to. what is the white house explanation for not fulfilling the promise to drop medicare prices? medicare drug prices? i don t think they have one, to be honest with you. i ve read what was said at the briefing last night. they sort of said they don t think it s a good idea an it s not the main problem we have here. i have not seen and maybe ron or your other guests can explain it to me, i ve not seen a rational for why it could be a bad idea for this giant buyer of drugs to be able to negotiate lower prices for medicare consumers other than what your explanation is people like novartis got to
healthcare and that the government shupt shount be throwing it s weight around. it is bottom line big pharma writes us big checks, lobbies enormously and they don t like the idea of lower prices foyer their sitting drugs agnature dr get congress to oppose it. this is such a critical issue for americans, they care about their gas prices and the cost of the drugs when they go to the drugstore to buy them. he tapped moo that smartly opt campaign trail. but now he seems to have fallen victim to the exact same thing that members of congress does, we have to do what big pharma wants, this is the big scary thing that they don t want. maybe he throws a curveball and says i m going to let the government negotiate. but with trump we never know until he says it. we ll see. had is the kind of thing that trump campaigned on. i think he believes in, and he d
primary language, very well educated man, served in world war i at a time when it was not popular for italians to do so. these kind of floating criteria for what constitutes a good prospect to become an american citizen, completely arbitrary. it s a conversation we ve been having since 1840 about the italian, about jews, about eastern europeans. you can find this in any literature you want. the arguments have been exactly the same. they ve all been wrong. it does not affect wages. it adds to the economy. it s a specious argument across the board and it just continues on, even despite all the evidence in the face of these untruths, if you will. the latest developments surrounding senator john mccain. remarks from a white house aide are getting a furious reaction from mccain s fellow republicans and any human being who supports common decency, prompting damage control inside the west wing. yet i haven t heard an apology. nbc s peter alexander is live at
