to push back, right, since when did we as democrats start with the other argument in frame, people don t trust government? our whole point has always been that government aught ought to t of important solutions to important problems people face. 5% to 10% of your population still doesn t have health care, we pay more in health care than any other country in the world and still in a position where those costs are increasing, we got to stand up and say this is the solution that we have to push. this notion that we re putting the cart before the horse starting with the politics, rather than the policy, that s never been how we moved it. one more point. there have been many, many, many reformers who tried to move an idea of a national health insurance. and every single time, the polling on the issue was strong until you had a junta of corporate executives come together, put a whole bunch of money into changing public opini opinion. we ve got to start with our arguments to say that the po
mueller testimony. there are so many details well, yeah. there was a dramatic reading with jonathan lithgow i think on broadway a couple of weeks ago of the mueller report. but that was a different thing there. one more excuse me, one more sneak peek for you. elena treene has details on axios just after 6:00 a.m. on how the democrats plan to make it live on. after the mueller report, after that testimony, they re hoping to extend the fight into the fall. you can look for house speaker nancy pelosi to push to pass a package of bills that would target money in politics, that would increase government accountability. look for house democrats to increase their house their accountability over the executive branch. those are all tactics that are being revived from democrats in the post watergate years and one more thing to extend your broadway recollection, there s
representative. sometimes you get out there and you say things and you try correct it for any of us that are on television like right now you get questions, you make responses or you put out a tweet trying to be funny or to try to press a point and sometimes did you go over the line on that. martha: do you agree with him at all. absolutely. i think we should certainly september apology. my concern is a deeper concern that there is a pattern that we are seeing manifested in public forums from politics to campuses, college campuses where this anti-semitism seems to be moving very quickly throughout this country. we have an explosion of the number of incidents in this nation and frankly around the world. so it s important for us to push back on hate and, frankly, the party of identity politics seems to have this new sense of challenges and troubles on their own side of the aisle. i would just suggest that hate is a human problem and not a partisan problem. but what we re starting to s
pro choice movement of being racist. i think one reason whoever had this information held it in reserve until this moment is because it is just so explosive. and suffice to say that audio of him, 069 governor talking about this is going to have a long life beyond this week. let s pull back and we re getting to it a little bit here sort of what this means for politicians on a national level. the state of the union is coming up. and i think it would be a point for the president to push back on. i do think that northam has some leverage. the leverage is he s in the job and he has to make the decision to resign. his support is dissolving. it s hard to escape the conclusion that he would be completely ineffective after this but he s got the job and
it was on january 29th. at that time, there was no thought that the government would still be shutdown. in my further correspondence of january 16th, i said we should work together to find a mutually agreeable date when government has reopened. i hope we can still do that. i m writing to inform you that the house of representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the president s state of the union address in the house chamber until government has opened again. i look forward to welcoming you to the house on a mutually agreeable date for this address when government has been opened. sincerely, nancy pelosi. so, if the president still wants to go forward with the state of the union address, he s going to have to find somewhere else. there s been talk among the president s allies about maybe going somewhere outside of washington, d.c. that could be meaningful to the agenda and the platform that he s trying to push. but we don t have any specifics
