the way you ve changed the country for the past eight years and offer some thoughts on where we all go from here. we may get some clues from recent tweets he put out as well over the weekend about what he ll talk about. he said after decades of rising healthcare costs, today nearly every american has access to the financial security of affordable healthcare. also this, quote, we brought home more of our troops and strengthened u.s. leadership leading with diplomacy and partnering with nations to meet global problems. we should know specifics soon. it s next tuesday in chicago. some say it s important for him to have that moment of going home to where all of his political ambitions and aspirations started. we ve heard so much from the white house about running through the tape, really finishing his presidency strong. he says how much of this is about that, about the fight over his legacy? i think a lot of it will be about that. you know, we ve talked about the fact that he continual
remember obstruct was a bad thing, according to the washington most, new york post, obstruction will be a good thing. they aren t going to get away with obstructing it, harry reid showed us the road map for getting rild of the filibuster and giving everything the bum s rush. the democrats did to it get it passed in the first place. couple of other things and we mentioned this a little bit. some the republicans want to make sure that some of these misnomers out there and i think were you going to talk about one of them, jessica, 20 million people will lose healthcare coverage. they say that s not true, that that kind of is the new lie of what the other one was, which is if you like your healthcare, if you like the doctor can you keep your doctor. that wasn t true. that didn t end up being true. there are a lot of lies thrown around in politics. we know the democrats passed obamacare without republican support. it s a partisan piece of legislation. more democrats like it than repub
the united states paying attention. we talked about sanctions but we have not been serious. we ve been more concerned about not alienating beijing than doing something with regard to north korea. i hope that ends right away. we ll see. it s coming up quickly, the changeover. thank for joining us. happy new year to you. thank you, heather. leland. president-elect trump responding as russian diplomats leave the united states over election hacking allegations. why his words are warning cyber security experts and president obama heading to capitol hill for a last minute, last-ditch effort to save obama care before lawmakers begin a new session. what s it like to be in good hands? like finding new ways to be taken care of. home, car, life insurance obviously, ohhh. but with added touches you can t get everywhere else, like claim free rewards. or safe driving bonus checks.
we have a pollster and strategist for shchlt o. en consulting. happy new year to both of you. happy new year. hey, heather. shaping up to be a busy new year on capitol hill. we have january 15 coming up, chris, the call to action day to protect one of the president s key, what, legislative pieces, part of his legacy. what do you think about that? well, i think that elections have consequences, as president obama said in 2009, on the republican control of the white house, will soon. and the senate and the house. and they re going to be able to have their way with president obama s signature piece of legislation. which by the way, my personal experience is quite catastrophic when it comes to obamacare. i personally went from $300 a month to more than $900 a month. the women who i blissfully live in sin went from $250 a month to
$800 a month. i certainly hope they repeal it? you aren t alone. a lot of people seem to disagree, jessica. you can look at the outcome of the election, you can see people wanted changes, most recent poll by the kaiser family foundation, 26% of people want it repealed all together, 17% want to scale it back, only 19% want to move forward as is. but that s actually a shift. that s a positive shift for the law from where it started. beggars can t be choosers. so, it s doing better than we thought it would. public approval is about split on it. chris is completely right, premiums have been going up even though the overall cost of healthcare has been gaining at a slower rate than the ten years before obamacare was implemented. but there s no doult ocean bam a has to try to preserve this, woupt obamacare his legacy is looking bleaker. is it just about his legacy or the people? it s making sure americans have affordable health insurance. i know the premiums are going
