this law needs to stand up. those will happen on february 25th. for the first time democrats are really pushing to save the affordable care act. 2010, 2014, oh, never mind. better late than never. as he makes the rounds in the senate, the president s supreme court pick has a guy who knows the shortcuts, the back stairways and members on a first-name basis, former new hampshire senator kelly ayotte, she s judge gorsuch s sherpa, guiding him through the process including the courtesy calls. it was a surprising choice and she lost her seat in november and in that campaign had some not so complimentary things to say about candidate trump and he returned the favor with not so nice names of his own and senator mcconnell said she could be helpful because she s well-liked among her colleagues. some in the though say she wants to raise her profile to land some corporate post and friends
this is a tea party for the left and if so, what lessons did you learn in 09 that you think can be learned by the democrats now? no, it s not a tea party because the tea party was essentially funded by the billionaire koch brothers families. this is a grassroots uprising of the american people. you may be the first to hear this, on february 25th, two weeks from yesterday there is, in fact, going to be rallies all over this country and i think you ll see people in conservative areas and progressive areas asking the republicans what are you going to do when you throw 20 million people off of health insurance? how many of them are going to die? what s your plan? what are you going do when you
vermont and all around this country, is people see this president as a total hypocrite, someone who campaigned before the american people, saying i m a different type of republican, i m not going to cut social security medicare and medicaid, then he appoints people to those important positions whose whole life s work has been cutting social security, medicare and medicaid. he says i m going to take on wall street, then he appoints the head of goldman-sachs, one of the largest financial institutions as his right hand guy and surrounds himself with billionai billionaires, so i think there s consternation in this country and you re seeing people stand up and filing back. you re seeing it in utah and elsewhere. hundreds and hundreds of people coming out. on february 25th, two weeks from tomorrow, there will be, whirals all across this country, where
a role to play, but i don t see myself at this late stage of my career, which has been quite varied over four decades, going and taking something in the administration. i want to stay right here in congress and conclude my career as a congressman. so tell us how that call went. what did you discuss with the president elect? well, he and ivanka called me. i was honored to have gotten that call. we reminisced about the campaign from february 24th when i endorsed him, to some spots where you and others put me on the hotseat from time to time. he was watching and we chatted about those things. we also, as i said, talked about what s going on in the administration. he asked me actually was i surprised last night? and i said, mr. trump, no. if you remember on february 25th, i drew that exact path of
but democrats defend the move. welcome back to the ed show. thanks for watching tonight. they re our last hope for the middle class. when the legislators left, that changed almost everything. it s almost, like, wow, sort of an outlaw them. people have crossed borders. they re hiding out. yet, even with the wisconsin 14 outside the state, the governor and republicans in the legislature find ways to press on. if we do not get these changes and the senate democrats don t come back, we re going to be forced to make up the savings in layoffs and that, to me, is just unacceptable. the republicans break the budget bill into different parts, and at 1:00 in the morning on february 25th, despite not having a quorum, they invoke a rarely used parliamentary rule to call a vote. the bill passes. in the end, they still did all the things they wanted to do. that day i think the governor felt like he had prevailed.
