the confession from millionaire real estate air robert durst that is causing a stir. and is cia money ending up in the hands of al-qaeda? we will get into that. bill: what the administration plans to do if the supreme court overturns obamacare.
voters. and they absolutely will make determine the outcome of this one way or the other. jon: so much has been made of medicare, is that the big issue that brings seniors out to vote? i think absolutely, especially this year where you have democrats making this argument that paul ryan s budget, which was a tough reform budget that changed the calculus for how medicare money is spent and things like that, democrats are returning very hard against republicans including, you know, even though mitt romney had nothing to do with it, president obama has sort of hit mitt romney on the issue of supporting paul ryan s budget. on the other hand you have obamacare, which was very much funded by cutting $500 billion over ten years out of medicare payments in order to pay for obamacare. so we are going to hear a lot of
that in the coming months, the blaming back and forth about who has done more to sort of undermine or strip away medicare. jon: well, you argue in a newspaper column that democrats, and the obama administration have essentially launched a war on seniors. what do you mean by that? what is the justification? quite frankly, you know, the issue the issue of paul ryan s budget, it was a reform budget, it changed the way the calculus for how medicare is paid for, but it preserves it. the problem with obamacare not only does it raid $500 billion out of medicare over ten years, but it doesn t change, it doesn t fund today mentally make it more sound. it adds to it. twice now, once last year with the negotiations over raising the debt ceiling president obama made the strange threat that social security checks wouldn t go out if we didn t raise the
debt ceiling. well, of course, you know the president determines which checks go out and which checks don t go out if we run into a problem like that, and it was a very strange but very successful tactic, and it terrified republicans, it terrified seniors and they quickly raised the debt ceiling. quietly last week his lawyers petitioned the supreme court and said that after having sort of tried everything else said that if the supreme court overturns obamacare it s going to put all these burdens on making payments to medicare. it s just kind of a shocking tendency to keep going back and making these kind of threats that i don t know if they are valid or not, but it s kind of an alarming thing to always go back to that whenever you get yourself into a political bind. jon: something we ll keep an eye on as the election approaches. charlie hurt from the washington times. thank you. jenna: now to to west r-frplt
is something overall. does hannity know that reagan raised taxes? hannity knows all. oh, okay. he knows more than you. you re a democrat. you re not on the payroll over there, but you can sound like it sometimes. this tribe, this conspiracy loyalty you have. so christie doesn t run. and then you re going to end up with some nominee who then you ll pretend you didn t say this, right? i already told you, i could be wrong. prediction is a prediction, but i do think that christie is our very strongest candidate. and by the way, come august, if the supreme court overturns obamacare and if the republicans manage to cut spending, maybe i tell christie don t run this year, obama will get re-elected. if republicans manage to cut an enormous amount of spending and obamacare is overturned, obama will probably get reelected. ann coulter s strategy for the re-election of obama. my former colleague at msnbc, ann coulter, thank you very much for braving that position at the table to
