planned parenthood have come big in the race. on the rhetoric side when the when the alabama senate candidate roy moore was running last year casten tweeted that the republican party is the pedophile party and that tweet is still out there if you want to go find it, rhetoric of that kind whether suburban moms will go for that in the end. paul: he s green energy executive. what is roskam use to to fight back? he s talking about rhetoric. they ve had four debates so far, every time he brings up the tweets, he says my opponent has called the republicans the pedophile party, called morons, that s the line wherever he goes he says that, there s play there.
every instrument the government has, federal government has to push china back or prevent china from changing the balance. paul: so that would be manifest say in new tariff policies, for example, tougher trade negotiations, how would it manifest itself militarily and diplomatically? militarily you will see we ve got some of that which is the large military build-up and i think this is signal it will continue and these new military assets clearly a proportion of them is going to western pacific where that s been talk that the balance between the u.s. and china shifting in china s favor. diplomatically i think the u.s. is going to continue to work with japan and other very close regional allies to encourage other countries who were willing to stand up to china, i suspect
democratic party. absolutely take the claim seriously. paul: what do you make of the president s laying down this week in op-ed in usa today what is going to be a theme for the republican party which is to portray the democrats now between now and the election, polarize around some issues like immigration, open-borders immigration, for example, accusing the democrats of, economic battle like venezuela, for example, and calling them radicals. but i think he has a point that we have democrats now campaigning calling for abolishing ice and this is getting into the mainstream, democrats are starting to normalize it. i think he has a right to explain to voters that even if republicans aren t delivering on everything they promised like repealing obamacare there are reasons to think that the alternative is not a very palatable. as far as trump s personality
paul: a respected financial fiscal analyst, dan, so it s fascinating issue, dan, because, you know, we will see who wins this healthcare debate? well, yeah, i mean, i think the democratic position is they run on this idea of health care for all take power and deal with the wreckage afterwards just like they did with obamacare. let s try to understand something, they call it medicare for all, universal health care or single payer, it all means the same thing. the 155 million people who have employered-sponsored insurance, that would end, okay, you go into the government, medicare, that system would be dismantled, those people would go into the government, it s the only way the system works. i think republicans have got to put that directly to their democratic opponents who deny it and say, you have to explain why medicare for all doesn t mean one government running everyone s health care. you can call medicaid for all
paul: casten is using opposition to trump, drive turnout, also some maybe republicans who are shaky? correct. he sees himself and presents himself as teller of bold truth in alternative facts era, he he says that he is in favor of impeachment theoretically but doesn t necessarily think it s the best idea when you don t have enough senators to convict because that would that would embolden trump. paul: i guaranty you he votes for impeachment if they bring vote of impeachment to the house? this is one to have seats that hillary clinton won in 2016. one of the 23 seats. if roskam can hold, it means the republicans have a chance to retain the house majority. right, but the swing there is interesting too while hillary clinton won by 7 points, roskam won reelection by 18 points and a similar sort of story in 2008,
