Last year, President Moon Jae-in s son Joon-yong was in a war of words with a main opposition party lawmaker over a 14 million won emergency relief fund the President s son received from the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture.
Rep. Kwak Sang-do of the People Power Party initiated the wrangling by openly addressing the concern about a conflict of interest. I wonder if it was appropriate for the President s son to receive the state subsidy aimed to help the pandemic-stricken artists, the prosecutor-turned-lawmaker wrote on social media.
the vast majority of the dollars. we ve not going to let those people go by the wayside. finding ways whether it is high risk pool funding or reinsurance funding through the individual and even employer market to be able tie louou some of the high-cost i have able to allow some of the high-cost individuals to pull out so families paying 300, 400, $500 a month only to have the luxury of having a $6,000 deductible can see the costs come down. the bulk of healthy people supporting a small group of high-cost patients. thank you for joining us. that was interesting. thank you. up next, spoiled children at middlebury college in vermont forced the cancellation of a speech but charles murray, they said his ideas about inequality were so offensive, they could not be heard. we talks to someone who says his ideas are that offensive and shouldn t be heard.
passion. now, i obviously, have a different view than they do. but you have to respect the fact that they are doing what they believe was fulfilling their commitment to the voters that sent them there. and we all know that the speaker has a great deal of difficulty in controlling 30 or 40, whatever it is, of his conference. which would then make him have to rely on democratic votes to achieve something, and obviously, he doesn t want to do that. it is a very difficult situation. but one that i m afraid that when government is shut down for a few days that the american people will blame congress. and that is not some clairvoyance on my part. you can see the cnn poll, they said they were acting like spoiled children. who do you blame, republicans,
guess whose paychecks will not stop coming? you guessed it, congress and the president. hello, everyone. welcome to legal view i m ashleigh banfield and it is monday september 30th. with just 13 hours the go, it looks like we are going to need more than luck to stop a government shutdown from actually taking effect. right now all eyes are on the senate which appears ready to reject a house-passed spending plan from this weekend that would again have a big effect on the obama care. it would delay it by a year. lawmakers are going the join us this hour before the senate meets at 2:00, and we could also hear from president obama later on as well. the american people are not one bit happy with any of them right now. take a look at the latest polling from cnn/orc and 69% of the people who were asked say that republicans were acting like spoiled children, and the blame didn t stop there, and 58% said that the same thing about
government. that becomes a larger problem. when the strategic competitors around the world look at the fact that the u.s. congress is the single most liability to the economic recovery, they laugh at us, and that should frustrate folks on main street as well. the congress is in large part the problem right now, and that goes to the heart of the faith in government. so let me ask you a hard question. what do we do about it? what can we do about it? i mean, people elect these people into office, right? well, i don t believe in kicking the can to the next election. i do believe it is one of the moments where the average americans need to speak as loud as the activists, and if they are frustrated with the government gridlock and dysfunction and the fact that the divided government means dysfunctional government, they need to speak up to have their voices heard. it is so often the activist class on either side with a disproportionately loud voice. the folks on capitol hill need to hear
