. good to be with you, i m katy tur, former vice president mike pence is putting up a fight. a moment ago in minnesota, he told reporters he is pushing back on special counsel jack smith s subpoena requiring him to testify about january 6th. pence is citing the speech and debate clause, something normally reserved for sitting lawmakers. my fight is on the separation of powers. my fight against the doj s subpoenas very simply is on defending the prerogatives that i had as president of the senate to preside over the joint session of congress on january 6th. for me, this is a moment where you have to decide where you stand and i stand on the constitution of the united states. yesterday if you were with us, you would have heard former federal prosecutor paul butler tell us that argument, that speech and debate clause would be a good academic paper for a law student but not as good of an argument in court. after all, pence was not a legislator, technically. he was vice presi
spending he set into law that were approved with wide bipartisan majorities in most cases on capitol hill. this is not a this is a staring contest that s very far from over, and i agree with kayla. i do think according to the experts i talked to, the real likelihood here is sometime middle of july to end of july, so that s what i think that s where i think we re heading. hope you don t have a concert to go to. seven shows at msg, we re screwed once again. let s talk about social security and medicare. the cbo says both programs need more money. by the time you and i will be taking out social security, not even us, ten years from now, if you re taking out social security, you re not going to get your full benefit, unless more taxes are raised or spending is cut and put into medicare and social security.
eminent, common sense. i would like to say that this is a triumph of common sense in washington, which we all like to have those stories from time to time. i was blown away when i saw the roll call vote, because i expected it to be one of these, party line votes, and the house was team this up for the senate, who knows if it goes anywhere, and there is 441 votes, you have 100 republican votes, you have got enough cosponsors in the senate, what does this do? does it just take away this onerous pension pre funding requirement? that is one of the major aspects. it takes away the pre-funding requirement, which takes close to 30 billion dollars of liability which is on the books right now for the postal service, which makes no sense for the reasons that we talked about. it also allows the employees as they retired to go into medicare, and integrate with medicare, which every company in america does with their employees as they retire, they go into medicare, and it is something that post
who knows if it goes anywhere, and there is 441 votes, you have 100 republican votes, you have got enough cosponsors in the senate, what does this do? does it just take away this onerous pension pre funding requirement? that is one of the major aspects. it takes away the pre-funding requirement, which takes close to 30 billion dollars of liability which is on the books right now for the postal service, which makes no sense for the reasons that we talked about. it also allows the employees as they retired to go into medicare, and integrate with medicare, which every company in america does with their employees as they retire, they go into medicare, and it is something that postal employees have actually been paying into medicare throughout their career, now they will be a part of that like other companies. but we also put in some service standards to make sure that we have six-day delivery, so people can count on that mail coming, particularly if they are delivering critical drugs to
and asking for an explanation on medicare for all, so maybe she needs to come up with a plan for losing. if you look at the iowa caucus. jessica: i feel if that will just come naturally. lisa: one thing that s really interesting if you look at votes in iowa and new hampshire, voters are still wide open to changing their opinion. this whole thing for the democrat nomination is really anyone s game. melissa: it was like that for republicans, too, it was a flavor of the week. especially in the early days somebody was always surging and somebody was always falling and you have the sense that everyone was going to have their day and it was just, could you keep it going? lisa: what about the question of authenticity. elizabeth warren caught on tape saying her kids went to public school, that s not true, questions of her getting fired over her maternity leave, questions about her 1/1,024th
