escalate right now. yeah. i couldn t agree more about the midterm moment, the timing of this right now. every republican strategist you ve spoken to, i ve spoken to, i m sure, for the last year-and-a-half, they kept saying, the one thing that really concerns me is complacency on the republican side, which happens when you have power. when you have all the levers of power, that happens electoral to both parties. and it s been such a concern for the republicans. and they just got such a boost in the arm today. that s the one side. that they re really jazzed up about this, and that helps elevate them, especially in those red states where these democrats are running for re-election in the senate. but we also know that this plays into the unbelievable energy we have seen on the democratic side this entire trump era. democratic turnout, breaking records, special elections. and in the house map, where white college-educated women and suburbanites dominate the landscape. if the republicans a
been the auto industry. the trade deficit autos alone 74 billion dollars. if you took that out actually we would be running a trade surplus with mexico of $10 billion. so that s really where the focus needs to be if they want to make any progress. bill: someone must like nafta then right now. which one or who? well, that s why we re on a farm today, bill. you know, farmers have long been free traders because it opens up markets to their commodities, their corn, their soybeans, their wheat and the rest and the corn growers association has put out a statement on this potential renegotiation of nafta. i read it to you because it s pretty dramatic. today agriculture is experiencing the fourth year of downturn. i can t stress enough say the corn growers how important export markets are to our ability to stay in business.
the good samaritan kicked the gator underneath the belly, three or four times. i guess the gator decided after getting kicked and punched. he finally released and i was able to get my son and walk to shore. reporter: joey was rushed to a nearby hospital. remarkably with only minor injuries. like any 6-year-old would, he says he s glad his dad was there to help him out. of course. reporter: mom believes there was an angel watching over her son during that death-defying scare. why my son has an arm today, why he doesn t have puncture marks, it s a miracle. i know why. joey is one tough kid. of course, did you hear what he said, of course. i like his big wheel. in the old days they were orange and pink. he is running around. not a scratch on that child. you know what, in ten years he won t remember this happened. maybe charmed. one of the kids who will defy all daredevil stuff.
steve, the rising cost of health care is a real issue no matter what political party you re a part of. i was thinking this morning if health care costs is really the issue, do any plans address the fact that health care costs are going up? say your child breaks an arm today, that it is not going to be such an exorbitant fee in 10 years no one will be able to afford it? that seems to be more of the path we re on. does any side address that core issue about rising health care costs? one thing that surely will make the rising health care cost problem worse, you re right, this is a big problem with the u.s. economy and budget but obamacare makes it much worse because it adds 30 million more people to medicaid. that doesn t cut costs the thing that is interesting about paul ryan s budget, he does things to allow senior sit to have medical savings accounts. puts the patient back in the equation. the reason education, health care, those are two industries costs are out of control we divorce
