i m obviously hoping for the best but i m very worried about jana i m very worried about her situation and all of us who are being asked to reveal sources or have the government to try to spy on us to find them out. jon: kirsten a quick thought on this case? i m an absolute purestist on this issue. i don t even understand how gag orders to start with are constitutional and i think this is extremely chilling, that the government is basically, they want her to give up her sources under no circumstances should reporter have to give up their sources. i think they want to give them up also to find out who spoke. again they shouldn t be able to control what other people say. this is government two times infringing on free speech. jon: courts in colorado paraded all kinds of law enforcement people in front of them. couldn t find the answers. so now they re going after the reporter. unbelievable. kirsten powers, judy miller. unbelievable. thank you,. jenna: meantime the president s apology
to pay and limiting doctors and hospitals this. is the reality of modearn liberal government. joseph rago, pulitzer prize-winning columnist and member of the wall street journal editorial board. thanks for having me. jenna: we re looking at polls last few weeks certainly seen the democrats take a hit. the favor hasn t shifted to republicans. if this is some sort of a statement about liberal government why isn t the conservative movement gaining ground here? they re kind of slip streaming along, taking things as it comes. i think they re starting to but they haven t really articulate ad genuine reform alternative. people are losing their choices and so forth. what they should be saying, you know, these are tangible things being taken away from you. here s a better option. i think, that house bill that they re going to vote on later today is the start of that kind of agenda where they re trying to revitalize some kind of private insurance market, have a
