Strategy we need to have in the united states that speaks to our food system, our agricultural subsidy system. it speaks to what we feed our kids in our schools. how much sugar is put, additive sugar is put in these products that give these kids in our society diabetes. thats the real strategy that we need to talk about. not just whacking medicare so cancer patients cant get their drugs. >> all right. congressman tim ryan of ohio. always good to talk to you. michael steel, this tax bill if you...

Soon to be welalthy kids. it is true the mandate is not popular but the way this works for tax reform or the tax cut, i should say, is that it gets rid of subsidies by getting rid of the mandate, and i dont believe getting rid of subsidies is going to end up being popular. >> well see about that. the mandate is unpopular. we know that. it polls unpopular no matter how you slice it. and the fact of the matter if the republican party is not a tax-cutting party, then it literally has no definition....

Able to get treated for anything at any stage of their life no matter the ka cost? >> single payer systems they rationalize health care toward the end of life. >> exactly. >> put another way, more than half the you and me on health care is going to be spent in the last year of our life, trying to prolong our life for a few weeks or months. >> and you get into incredibly expensive drugs that youll need for an extended period of time. we should accept the consequences, which is as you point out, a...

One of his key promises. >> not only that. well, i would agree. everything thats been said this morning, i concur with the analysis. i think what was so refreshing about mccains statement was it sounded like a legislator. it sounded like someone who understands how policy is made and why policy is made. for him to state that look, i think theres shortcomings in obama care, this is him talking, but im unwilling to deprive millions of americans who now have health insurance of affordable insurance...

Reason. >> or argue that the fbi director did that. >> you might. but thats not a special prosecutor. and theres a reason we do that. theres a reason we did in iran contra and post-watergate why special prosecutors are needed at times and i think in this case, its absolutely warranted but im not a prosecutor, a defense lawyer. i dont want to get into the weeds of the exact statutes. i think whats more important is that she was reckless with the national security. i think the american people know...

Really a discussion. >> well hsh, he is leading in t polls, and a frontrunner. >> well, i would dispute that he is the frontrunner. i think that he is leading in the polls, but he is not the frontrunn frontrunner. i dont believe he is the likely nominee, and people watching his campaign dont believe it. there is not a discussion, and every republican office holder have weighed in and most of them condemned it strongly, but what trump is doing is to get us to talk about him, and the whole campaig...

Populous tea party parts, but this is a good bernie sanders crowd. >> very interesting. do you think you will see tax reform in the next 18 months or next president? >> easier said than done. ill believe it when i see it. >> thank you, greg. you know, interesting he said it polls well, but how realistic is the tax plan? >> you have to deal with congress. >> the little thing. chinas president is in the united states. he has been hanging without with some tech executives and the white house. t...

Him being smart. he doesnt have a college degree. that doesnt matter. harry truman didnt. i think its a question of awe then tis ti-- authenticity. you have to be authentic. im not sure scott walker passed that test yet. >> a new chapter for the characters from "to kill a mockingbird." it is so popular it polls higher than the bible. but an unearthed novel by harper lee paints the central character in a very different light. well talk about that and the must-read opinion pages straight ahead on ...

Girls get into the race. which is why fox and cnn have announced debate criteria to limit the numbers. the democrats have the opposite problem kind of. with hillary clinton dominating the polls, how much attention should omalley and sanders and maybe chafy really get from the press? should we make editorial decisions based on the reality of polls or the possibilities that anyone could win? so lets bring in two people who thought a lot about this. ron fournier a columnist with the national journa...
