story that came out today that suggested in fact kimmel s staff had actually been in contact with chuck schumer s staff to get information about the nature of the bill so when he did deliver his monologues he would actually be armed with some degree of facts. and i believe politifact rated some of his more recent monologues and did stretch the truth or exaggerated i want to move on. i want to talk about the i m sorry. finish your thought. sorry about that. no. that was all i was going to say. the vice president today said if you aren t voting to repeal obamacare, you re voting to save it. watch this. a vote against graham/cassidy is a vote to save obamacare. the republican majority in congress in particular was not elected to save obamacare. they were elected to repeal and replace it, and it s time for every member of the republican majority to keep their word. matt, is he right?
with chuck schumer s staff to get information about the nature of the bill so when he did deliver his monday logs he would actually be armed with some degree of facts. and i believe politifact rated some of his more recent monday logs and he did stretch the truth or exaggerated. i want to move on. i want to talk about the i m sorry. finish your thought. sorry about that. no. that was all i was going to say. the vice president today said if you aren t voting to repeal obamacare, you re voting to save it. watch this. a vote against graham/cassidy is a vote to save obamacare. the republican majority in congress in particular was not elected to save obamacare. they were elected to repeal and replace it, and it s time for every member of the republican majority to keep their word. matt, is he right? should republicans that are voting, not like rand paul and
politifact rated it, in a substantive way like you just did, they say this class understand obamacare previously had as you just referred to still continue to have coverage. but the federal government shift, 90% as you just referred to 57% in 2024. it s possible that individuals enrolled in medicaid under the obamacare compangs would lose coverage if states decline for the shortfall that they will face after the government reduces its share of expanded medicaid costs. is it not possible, if not likely, that some individuals will lose coverage? i ve always acknowledged that a governor or state government could make that decision, but it would be their decision. and think about what that implies, if a governor were to decide to cop this coverage, what that governor is staying this program is worth it to me when i can buy it 10 cents on the dollar but if i have to pay
candidate for president. judge alex ferrare is ticked off about the ad that politifact rated mostly false that goes after him for allegedly seeing the iran issue as president obama does. right. politifact declares the ad mostly false and rand paul s lawyer sends a letter to whom? he sent the letter to the stations telling them they better take the ad off the air, which is kind of a bizarre move. let s face it nobody is shocked with the fact that political ads are false. everybody takes shots at each other. most know how to handle it, and the way is not to threaten litigation. can you shut it down? what they allege is that it is defamatory. of course. but nobody is protected against defamatory. if a tv station publishes something false and defamatory, in the sense that it hurts the reputation and it is not true they could be subject to
liability. nobody sues for a variety of reasons. one, you re not going to get any damages. what are your damages? you re going to say if not for that, i would have won the presidentiaí6 ñelection? you re one horse in a stable, not even counting the democrat. two, you re a political person you re a known figure. you end up being applied the highest standard. to defame a public figure is hard given the way the law is. it is impossible and the defendant is the media. you say why would they do this i think it is to have a segment like this they probably hope somebody will come out, discuss that he says it is false that it is rated mostly false, and that s his way of fighting back. the way most deal with it, they respond calmly, it is not true, let me show you why, and politifact rated it you know, five pinocchios. but nobody reads plit fact they watch fox news. that s true.
