now not only was bannon a key proponent of the big lie, he was actively involved behind the scenes. as the committee pointed out, he was communicating with trump during the insurrection. he attended a meeting with lawmakers at the willard hotel about decertifying joe biden s election victory. and he famously hinted on the day before the insurrection that january 6 would be more than just a protest. all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. just understand this. all hell is going break loose tomorrow. it s going to be moving. it s going to be quick. but for all his chest thumping around january 6, bannon is now hiding behind trump s dubious claims of executive privilege. why? because trump told him to. bannon s lawyer wrote the committee yesterday saying trump s counsel stated they were invoking executive privilege. the thing is, bannon s no-should before the committee today has opened him up to criminal charges. as betty thompson said today, we reject his position entire
with a compromise and it was called the private option. to make a long story short, it was about taking the medicaid expansion dollars that were available but using them to purchase private insurance on the health insurance exchange. this was a really innovative approach. it didn t mean that it passed easily. i think we had to take about six or seven votes mainly because extremes on both sides we were just hear about were pretty dug in on the issue. i will tell you even though we were able to pass the private option, there were members of both parties who lost elections as a result afterwards, just in 2014. people were primaried, people instrumental passing that policy lost their elections but i ll tell you, i m a democrat. i was for moving forward with the expansion from the beginning but part of, i think one. biggest things we had to do on our side was keep our mouth shut and not put the other side in two difficult of a position as well. again i see a lot of nodding heads,

could do that, but it wouldn t fully replace the benefits that children now derive from marriage itself. we had a lot of debate around the production of the volume and amongst the authors about whether or not or why there s been this decline. everybody agreed there was a decline. the issue is why. and these are the usual factors that get debated and talked about. women s new opportunities have made them clearly less dependent on marriage. it s no longer something they need for their economic well-being. and then there s the argument that men, especially less-educated men, have not been doing well in the labor market. declining employment and earnings. and that has made them less marriageable. and this the lack of marriageable men, it is argued, has been a contributing factor to the decline in marriage. finally, there are arguments about whether government programs are inhibiting marriage, because if you marry somebody that has additional income, you may become ineligible for
