durham with grand jury usage, with tough questions put to witnesses and with a whole different kind of exposure for the people that are the subject of the report. neil: jim trusty, i always learn so much. thank you very much, my friend. have a good weekend. you, too neil. neil: impeachment heating up why does it seem in swing states for voters it s turning them off?ph selfie-ing. and whatever this is. available to the public. never. smartdogs are not the answer. but geico has a simple tip. turn on do not disturb while driving mode. brought to you by geico. it is nice. his haircut is nice. this is the most-awarded minivan three years in a row. the van just talked. sales guy, give em the employee price, then gimme your foot.
just simple this wills. what about the guys that have some stuff that needs to be looked at. you don t want to take that spot. so i went and got tri-care. i have not had tri-care since got out of the army, so i m just going to the va and i ve been fairly healthy, and that s another thing, too neil, real quick. when i was recovering in san antonio texas for three years when i was in the hospital, during that time they were pretty adamant, are you ready to go? almost kind of, let get you out and make room for the next patient. understood. i never jumped and i never signed the paperwork quickly because i was rade to move on will be life because i heard the horror stories within the va and how much time it would take to get an appointment and friends who have burns have gone to the va for treatment and gotten infections because they re not trained 100% no different than the hospital here in san antonio. so, for me, just kind of tell i just say to guys, take
thing through with a clean bill, with a clean debt ceiling hike. this is not the time to fight. those were conservative members. i know. i understand where they are coming from. i understand their fear. let s talk about obamacare. well that s what they want to do. we will see what happens. thank you. thank you, neil. meanwhile, the senate speeding up that debt limit vote ahead of this massive winter storm, they want to get out of dodge before dodge is buried in snow. it is already hitting georgia. the republican governor of that very fine state, nathan deal. governor deal, how are you holding up? i m doing good. we are doing the best we can. and this has been an unusual storm so far but we think we are ready as we can be. the difference this time versus the last storm a couple of years i m sorry, a couple of weeks ago, i m talking about the one in 2011, which is another doozy is that this one, people had ample warning and you wanted to make sure that ample warning to av
good to see you, neil. kind of a mixed bag for the president. as you say, there are some positives there, more than 1.1 million people signing up in january. that s very strong month, according to the administration. you also have now cumulatively, 3.3 million people, going back to october, if you add it all up, signing up for private insurance. but what these numbers also show is that not enough people are gonna sign up, very likely, no toward meet the initial goal of 7 million people signing up by the end of march, the end of the enrollment period and what republicans like mich mcconnell are saying is that there are studies out suggesting that a lot of these people who are signing up are actually people who had insurance before and are just moving to new plans, so they are not really new people getting new insurance. take a listen. what i am confident of, after a very rocky start to healthcare.gov, we have seen a significant increase in enrollments, in signups, and we
the senate. everything is about the next election. and maybe, maybe, maybe then, we will have a force we can work with and change things the way we like. that s sort of like waiting for political godot here. it doesn t pap out. every time you delay like that, the debt just keeps piling up. yeah, but this is not a theoretical discussion that we are having, neil. we just lived through this a few months ago with the shutdown and the brinksmanship. and republicans got just slammed in public polling after all of that the public blames them. did they rein in spending? did they slow the growth of spending? they didn t. no. i mean, no a hell of a lot more than they did just taking a pass on this thing. but neil, my point is, it does not make any sense, in into no universe does it make sense for the republican party in this city right now to say, hey, let s have another brinksmanship fight do they didn t even bother to raise the brinksmanship fight,
