theme for the next year and a half up to the election. that is just the way it will be. guest: and we cannot change the media but we can confront it and defeat it part of the big government operation. most of the people in the media are liberals, and we know this time and time and time again from the surveys, whining will not fix it. i hope the candidates if though go on shows like meet the press, or deface the nation, if they go on the program dozen not take this crap. you can be professional and responsible. but get back in their face. neil: but here is the thing. everyone says, agenda-based coverage, but as i told my guest behind the new ad of grandmother being thrown off the cliff. would you do the same if it looked like the president s health care plan could potentially have the same
the f35 that george bush and obama and gates didn t want, $3 billion. neil: we have a program that by the government s own estimates is losing money faster and sooner than we thought. we are not destroying this, we are talking about curtailing the growth of the program, yet, even dressing it, and you can have your qualms with the details of the ryan map or any other plan, you are telling anyone who wants to tackle this, this is how we will treat this. guest: i am doing something different. what i would like to do, we are in an important moment. we have important choices to make. and i want to make sure that people understand the choices. look what is happening. neil: do you think you elevated the debate? guest: we have a lot senior
afford it. we can swap out fighter jets all you want, but the growth spectrum is on, something that is unsustainable. are you willing to concede anything, anything at all, to correct it? guest: i am willing to concede the fact that we make a lot of stupid choices in our budget and those too mid choices are made by both democrats and republicans. neil: in a system that is inefficient. you can say what you want about private and efficiency, will you make any concessions about the program you love that going bankrupt? guest: i make the concession we need to find ways to make the moral obligations we have. neil: you are telling me you would not change a thing. guest: i would not cut millions of people out of medicare and make choices in the budget. neil: do you see what i am saying? you know we have a budget, a
citizens who will be in a bad spot if we don t make the right moral choices in this. neil: why not an ad if we do nothing this what about those seniors now, who will face higher costs, higher deductibles, more responsibility for their own coverage, if we do nothing. this is the same group that will be affected by this national health plan that over the next decade is going to take half a trillion out of medicare. now, you could be right, it could be swept out for manage better and nighter but to say that any effort to bring in the growth of the program is like killing grandmother is wrong. guest: i am not saying an effort to address the challenges the program fateses are faces wrong, but what the republicans have thought of doing is privatizing medicare. that sundays good and you think private industry does a good job but my grandmother died at 96.
