Own new program which will air 6 00 p. M. Weekdays. Well announce the start date eventually. But you can mark your calendar in a rough way if you want. A big breaking news night. So im happy to hear what Rachel Maddow has in store for us. Youre giving us a calendar alert that could exist in the age of digital calendars. Youre telling us to pencil this in in general but i cant give you a start date. Write a macro so at some point that stakicks in and it starts. Thats all i was allowed to say. A very Laurie Approawyerly a tonight i had an a block all set and ready to go. We worked on it this weekend. All this Breaking News Stuff this evening and then this happened this evening and we had all of this crazy stuff happening with the legal teams that are trying to defend or
senator rand paul from kentucky said he wouldnt vote for it because Repealing Obamacare was still too much like obamacare. Whatever. For whatever reasons the two of them said they wouldnt vote it. So we were heading into
number two, a lot of if president s fate will be decided on what gets done or doesn t get done in congress. if you feel the transition from the obama cair repeal to the tax cuts, change in how the white house treated that. paul: and the one thing we haven t mentioned is infrastructure which the president wants. the democrats are going to use infrastructure as a wedge issue against the republicans. the republicans don t want to spend public money. and the democrats are going the say how can you be against anything as pure as spending on infrastructure. anything on health care like lie to come out of this? expwhr the shor the short ansd the long answer is no. if democrats refuse to play ball on infrastructure, they might end up hurting themselves because this is an opportunity to spend cash money on stuff that they like. and if it s left to republicans, they might leverage public/private partnerships. th.
moran have come out and openly said this needs to be an open process, so for some of these senators who said essentially we need hearings, we need to have committees look into this, we need regular order. we want some democrats on the books. potentially and julie was talking about how unstable things are already. republicans know this. they are not unaware there s a lot of trouble with obama cair, certain things that need immediate attention and republicans are now openly saying this is something we need to work on potentially with democrats. it s interesting, julie, this is obviously so much for the republicans about getting the tax savings, that is the genius behind the president s offer of repeal now, give yourself a date certain to come up with a replacement plan that will create political pressure, but you ll get those tax savings right now from repeal, that s what repeal would mean, right, is that you would be able to repeal a lot of the tax structures that go into the subs
it will be a different outcome, president trump will sign it. then we can come together and work on a replacement to deal with the key issues to bring down premiums for middle class families. the criticism is casualties, what you call tax savings takes the form and practicality of subsidies, and money that the most needy, the most vulnerable among your voters needs to support their health care, and you d be taking all that. the casualties are right now. crawford county, ohio, a county i get the privilege of representing has no insurers in the exchange plans right now. the casualties are what obama cair has done to premiums for middle class and working class families. casualties is what we currently have. that s what has to change and what the american people elected republicans to do in 2010, 2014, and of course last november. so let s just simply do what we said, repeal it, then replace it. the president is right, two separate bills.
addressing concerns about this. he did not get on the bandwagon. he still has not gotten on the bandwagon. at times i wonder if he s got special permission to oppose the president or at least not cheerlead for them. this is in line for how he s been for a long time and i m hoping it starts a momentum because i too believe this bill does not move away from obamacare in any substantial sense. all of this happening as many are pointing out without hearings. in politics as we all know, where there is action there is reaction. and where there is void, it is often filled. and i wonder you as someone who has studied the grass roots and the democratic can speak to the fact that by denying hears hearings in the public forum, did the republicans create a void filled by the grass roots events that may have been more helpful to obama cair. i think it s damned if you do, damned if you don t. i understand from the campaign standpoint the idea that we re going to repeal every single word of obamaca
