prisons has tried to tackle for a while. and then, katie, at least one of the guards it s being reported may have been on the fifth shift. is there an inference there that someone may have been watching but may have fell asleep? or the follow-up question is aren t there cameras and wouldn t there be a way in which to review what could have happened in terms of the watch of epstein? of course. so on the cameras issue first, if the cell block that epstein was in looked like similar cell blocks, we have been told that certainly there would be cameras. so i think we re all very eager to see what the justice department has to say about that and what they find in any footage they may have. in terms of this one guard s overtime, we found that in our reporting as well he had been working his fifth overtime shift. the question arises then why is that guard guarding a prisoner who is considered so in danger within the prison population and possibly in danger of harming
civil attorneys swarming. in fact, he had a private forensic pathologist attend this autopsy. their statement said that s not unusual. is that true? i think that s accurate, especially when there s civil litigation. in a case like this, particularly when the president of the united states is trafficking conspiracy theories about it, the medical examiner wants to be absolutely sure they ruled out any other possibility. again, nbc news has been hearing all day long there are no indications of foul play and this looks like a suicide that he hung himself in his cell. do we know if we have video of this? i m led to believe that there is likely not video because of the way that special meeting was set up and there are hundreds of inmates there and not enough cameras for each cell. really there s no necessarily for anyone to prove exactly what happened in this case? well, we have to see what the evidence is. the big question right now is whether the guards in that facility were ch
describe the differences? i think it s important to remember the democrats all want to get to the same place. they want everybody to have insurance. they have different ways of getting there. some of them have different time lines of getting there using pretty much the same way. it s a decision of how much do you want the private sector involved, how much public sector do you want involved. rye now the u.s. health system is a hybrid. we re partly public and partly private and democrats want to sort of push it more public and republicans want to push it more privatep the question is really how much. one of the other points of argument is how realistic are these plans of action? if bernie sanders says in four years, i think is his timeline, you could have medicare for all, should people believe him? it would be extraordinarily difficult. you were there when they were passing obamacare and couldn t even get a public option into the bill through the senate when the democrats had 60 v
confident now than they were in 2013. because obama s not there. but they re not saying it s obama s but it s real. this is the president actually does have an opportunity as you point out they trust it. the one thing i want to disagree on the nra management, administration of the nra versus membership is they still have the ability with the help of rush limbaugh to tell their members that even a low-grade not universal, not strong background check is the beginning and giant gun grab. president trump wants to talk about confiscation with those on camera. yes they have the ability via the worldwide remember to do a lot of harm into this effort and scare the members of thinking this is the beginning of a complete lockdown. my question, a.b., why is mitch mcconnell saying what he s saying? is it because he recognizes that the president is saying a certain set of things? or he really sees a shift? mitch mcconnell knows exactly what s going on, what i just
remarkable political sense. the question is what is the world of feasibility this the point? honestly, that s a question for the parliamentary system of the united states. that is the geekiest book i ever heard on the program. we had such a nice conversation about public health care policy. let me put it this way, what we re talking about in this presidential campaign is sort of surreal. in the end if it has a 68-vote threshold, it won t matter. it seems unlikely they had 60 votes for obamacare. for a while. this is a case while incrementalism works. they could have said without a public option in 2010, we don t want it but they didn t. he built on a very conservative idea of health care reform and said we will take another whack of it down the road. we re now down the road. now the moderate position is, of course, a public option. if they can get that, maybe that would be an expansion of
