if you look at all the crazy things happening, north korea, michael cohen, sexual harassment allegations, an emergency declaration where trump i think overreaches and tries to grab power from the legislature. and then you there are disciples. i think once donald trump has opened doors that cannot be closed, and if he s a two-term president which i think is within the realm of possibility, you are going to have a generation of young people who came of age, young republicans, for example, watching this guy, he s there ronald reagan. this is the model, this is what works in politics at least up until now. have any of you seen any republican sitting congress member, senate, anybody, lawmaker really vehemently speak out against this? no, not yet.
it this way or that way. i disagree with that. i taught constitution for ten years and believe in the constitution and will oboy the constitution of the obey the constitution of the united states. how do you square that, mike? i agree. the way you square it is there are different versions of up constitutional statutes and there are different degrees of problems in the statutes. the president in that statement, i think he has some language in it that was inartful and he would probably like to have back with the experience of office, but the key point is when you have a critical threat to the president s core constitutional authority such as the authority and the duty to be the commander in chief of the armed forces the president is not required let me ask you this, congressman. do you think this is a good thing we re getting people out of guantanamo and headed towards closing? it has been republican s chiefly who have tried to aattach as many strings as possible to make sure
hi bill. bill: we watched the whole thing, the whale seven whole 7 1/2 hours of it and i think it sorry about that. bill: it s okay, it s your job and our job, too. two words, sir: what now? i think we need to hear back from the american people. what we ve been hearing is they don t like the bill that they ve seen, they wanted us to try something new, we had an opportunity to get ideas out and we think we ought to bring costs down in health care while still giving people the kind of choice and flexibility they need and they want to get the kind of health insurance that they deserve. and we also think that we should address the issue of preexisting condition. there is probably the most common ground on that, however, we want to look at it in the context of an approach to health care reform that does not start and end in washington, d.c. bill: if you pick up any newspaper today, they seem to pick up on the same two angels in angle in every paper, the summit shows the difference
thank you, sir. hope so, thanks. bill: onto health care, wondering about reconciliation and the nuclear option, the only way to pass health care and did president bush ever use the reconciliation method? because you asked on that and we ll get you an answer and name the record-breaking 10 billionth song downloaded from itunes. martha: what was it? bill: you d never guess! after this. want to know how fast it took my stiff joints to feel better? one pack. 6 days. that s elations. new elations. clinically proven to improve joint comfort. in as little as six days.
are a couple of ways it could be improved and we ought to do more to reduce costs and we re going broke and i talk to so many families and small businesses who cannot afford double-digit increases in premiums every year, and i think reforming the fee-for-service system driving so many procedures and tests we don t need, and bankrupting so many employers and individuals across colorado and the country, is a mistake. martha: i read on your web site, last night, you are in favor, ultimately of a single payor health care system, where the government runs the health care system, kind of like they have in canada now, is that right? no, that is not entirely accurate. i propose a universal system of coverage in which every american can get access to insurance, a couple of ways to do that but in which the private sector continues to provide health care. i think that is a better approach than the one for example in britain where the government owns the hospitals and employs the doctors and nur
