That hardwon progress. It is aggravating. Kennedy you know whats aggravating . Trying to convince people they have to maintain his legacy. Its frustrating to have to mobilize every couple months to keep our leaders from inflict real human suffering on our constituents. But typically thats how progress is won. Kennedy do you know what real human suffering is . Forcing Healthy People to pay for sick people with an immoral mandate. And its much worse in places like alaska. Here is their insurance director. On average in alaska in 2013 paying a monthly premium of 3 344 a month and in 2017, that premium is 1,041 per month. Kennedy passing those savings on to hurting families, thats human suffering. I hope to god there is some nongovernmental free market savior in this. Im so sick of being probed by the aggressive tentacles of obamacare. But i fear republicans still have no way to slay the monster. Lets get into it. Im kennedy. Senate majority leader mcwhere says he wants a vote on the repeal and replace effort next week. A handful of republican senators say they may scuttle the plan as well. But as fraud as the grahamcassidy healthcare bill may be, but as flawed as the grahamcassidy healthcare bill may be. Fox Business NetworksDagen Mcdowell and steve hilton. Preexisting conditions. Its confusing with the state of preexisting conditions is. Is it in limbo . There is language in it that says states with have to provide adequate and affordable coverage to people with preexisting conditions. For people on the left to say this doesnt provide any protections is patently false. But it does leave room for states for people with preexisting conditions to be charged higher premiums. But with the individual mandate you were forcing Healthy People to buy understand and cover people, some of whom didnt take care of themselves and are sick because of their own personal behavior. If purchase free market, thats unfair. Kennedy there is no incentive to keep your body healthy if you think the government is going to pay for every surgery. Lap bands and stents. Because of obamacares complexity, its impossible to scrap it completely. Starting over to design a federally controlled Central Healthcare system. This is based on an idea which i commit support which is devolving power. Everything today is too centralize. Thats where you have these giant bureaucracies. I dont understand why of course its not perfect. But i think its at least its a step in the right direction. Kennedy there are parts of it that are good and vastly improving what we have got now. But its still a trillion 1 2 dollars. There are always good intentions in socialized medicine. Your worry is it wont cover enough. Yes, but thats because americans have gotten used to getting certain thing for the last 8 years, they feel like if congress is taken away for preexisting conditions, Mental Healthcare was something that was really big as part of this legislation and something advocates on the hill myself included have been working on for years. If you get treated early and you are able to be a productive member of society and the economy, which we all want. This is the last good chance to repeal obamacare. Better than the last one. And the last chance republicans have. Kennedy i think you are right about that. Here is my area of disagreement with you. There are a lot of things that are wonderful and it would be great if insurance would cover everything. It cant. And thats not the function of the federal government. And people have the right to choose what kind of understand they have. If you want to choose a basic catastrophic plan you should not be forced to buy a plan with Mental Health and maternity and drug addiction. I hear republicans say we need to get the government out of our healthcare, but they are the ones who will not stand up and fix medicare. You have single payer going broke in 12 years. Here is the underlying problem. Because of medicare, then medicaid and obamacare, a vast majority of americans see the roll of the government as health insurance. Kennedy the good news is we have a lot to talk about and well continue with the panel in just a little bit. Right now we are going to make a shift. There is a truly stunning report on the extent the Obama Administration is spying on americans as well as the trump campaign. Fox news reports that foreigner u. N. Ambassador Samantha Power unmasked americans at one a day in 2016 right up until the inauguration. If that werent enough. The former director National IntelligenceJames Clapper told cnn its possible president trumps voice was picked up in a wiretap of his former campaign chief paul manafort. Catherine joins me now. What are we learning about the unmasking of Trump Officials . Catherine Samantha Power is not a household name. At her role at the u. N. She had a diplomatic function. Even in that roll she decided she wanted to know who these americans were who were swept up in foreign intelligence reports. What we learned through two sources familiar with the matter is the number was well in excess of 260 during 2016 and just for context we spoke to a former u. N. Ambassador, one of the fox news contributors john bolton and he said in his 15 months at the u. N. He unmasked 11 people. You can seed the difference in the number. Earlier this year congressman gowdy who is on the House Intelligence Committee investigating the unmasking was already on to the issue with power and put a series of questions to the former cia director john brennan and you can see by the exchange it got a little awkward. Do you really u. S. Ambassadors asking names be unmasked . I dont know. Maybe it many ringing a vague bell. But i could not answer with any confidence. January 19 up until noon january 20, did you make any unmasking requests. I do not believe i did. Kennedy a couple things here. Brennan later i dont know if he was thrown off in that line of questioning but he came back later in that same hearing and said i misspoke. I was at the cia on january 2 some, the day of the inauguration. And a second thing for folks at home, typically the kinds of person who asks to have the americans whose names are blacked out or shielded in these reports, they want that information because they are primarily in an intelligence role within the administration its hard to argue that Samantha Power had that kind of role in the last white house and certainly with the numbers, its a lot the critics would say it goes to the idea there was a lot of curiosity and they were gathering information for personal interests or political purposes. Kennedy the new director National Intelligence clarified you cant just unmask on a whim or for your own curiosity. It has to be related to your job. It doesnt seem 268 unmaskings relate to the am bass dorms role. How did this come to light . Catherine herridge iher. Catherine it has been in the pipeline for several months. Devon nunez brought it to light in the spring. He issued subpoenas for handful of officials with the Obama Administration. Samantha power, susan rice, the former National Security advisor to the president and former cia director john brennan and a separate set of requests for ben rhodes that did not require a subpoena. Like washington has taken a long time to churn through the system. Not you records are coming to light and that committee is pulling those individuals before them saying now that we have the documents maybe you can explain why you requested 260 unmaskings. Why did you request this particular meeting sat trump tower . Kennedy there are serious implications how people caught up in the net, how they came to be unmasked and why. Is there any statement from powers team . Catherine Samantha Powers team did not respond specifically to our questions about the request numbers. But emphasize she did have a role in the National Security council and she was making these requests in the spirit of further trying to understand the intelligence reports. A lot of her job at the u. N. Is understanding proliferation rights. She wants to know who in the u. S. May be selling Component Parts that could be used by iran or north korea. But based on the volume thats not what these requests were about. The other thing is when you look at this data, you see a level of people use the word surveillance you see a level of tracking on american citizens i dont think we have seen before. And putting that to one side, think about how much of the information ended up in the media. So its not only classified information, but its closely held. If i can explain. If you kennedy requested the name an american to be unmasked in an intelligence report. That would come directly back to you. It wouldnt come to me or anyone else in the organization. Kennedy those names showed up in the New York Times and Washington Post and other news outlets. These people who had that power have a lot to answer for to make sure there were nor abuses of power. Right now its very, very fishy. Coming up. Maria has ripped through puerto rico and left devastation in her wake. We have a lot of rebuilding to do after irma and harvey.

The island will face a massive rebuilding effort. The combined cost between the three hurricanes will be 300 billion. This mossive skills gap could place a roadblock to the rebuilding. What can we do to speed up the process . Let me bring in mike rowe. Hes the host of the podcast, the way i heard it and a new facebook show called returning the favor. Mike rowe, whats up . So i like my favorites thing about you, you are a Solutions Oriented person. Someone is going to have to fix them and that speaks to the heart of your personal cause you have been talk going for years. How can we speed up this process and help people rebuild . Im not beyond saying id told you so. For 10 years my Little Foundation has been saying this is a math problem. Its also a p. R. Problem. But for instance, last month before houston, there were 267,000 openings in the construction trades. That number is about to double. After the florida thing i think its what tripled maybe . With for the rico . Its just math. The Skilled Trades people who will rebuild these cities and countries are not in these cities and countries. They have to come from somewhere else. So nell come from different parts of america creating larger deficits from the areas they vacate to do the work. We ignored a big chunk of our work force for 40 years. I dont mean we deliberately derided them. I mean we havent made a persuasive kids and shown them the many benefits for learning a trade. Kennedy you have parents with High Schoolers and they are thinking where am i going to send my kid to college. Maybe their child wouldnt do well in college. There are vast entire sectors that pay really good money. You get to that money a lot quicker when you are not going to that Traditional College route. Its easy to talk in cookie cutter terms. This path for the most of people, this path for that group of. But that doesnt work. But in general terms. 6. 2 million jobs are available that dont require a college degree. We still tell people in a general way the best path for everyone is the most of expensive path. So its not just duffel on the front ends financially. Unintended consequence quenls of that after four decades of it are real shortages in the kinds of rowcation that make the workforce healthy and balanced. Thats the problem. It takes a disaster to prove it sometimes. Kennedy unfortunately this disaster has proven itself 10 times over. They need people to work with their hands. People with skills, you are begging people to take your money to get those skills. You are doing a new show on facebook. I want to show a quick clip. Watch. The crew and i are back on the road searching america for bloody dogooders. People who are slightly better than us doing nice things for their community in a pretty selfless way. We finds them, we meet them, then we surprise them. Kennedy how has the response been . The feelgood hit of the summer. 22 million views on the first episode. Im not a genius. But i can look at my news feed and look on cable news and say the country feels bad. The country has been exposed to a relentless parade of horribles. Just bad news after bad news. There are still some decent people. Kennedy after Hurricane Harvey you realize people have an appetite for the heroes living among them. And people who reach out and help them if god forbid the same thing would happen to them. Our state of minds collectively is a function of what we look at. If all we look at is pain and protest and divisiveness, eventually well feel awful. Its not about putting your head in the sand and ignoring the news. But dont ignore the good news going on in your own zip code. Its there, this show finds it. People dig it, im happy. Kennedy coming up. Apple ceo and frequent critic tim cook says Big Companies should get involved in politics. Should get involved in politics. So why do they whine when why should over two hundred years of citi history matter to you . Well, because it tells us something powerful about progress that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. As long as they have someone to believe in them. Citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. And the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. We backed the Marshall Plan that helped europe regain its strength. And pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. For over two centuries weve supported dreams like these. And the people and companies behind them. So why should that matter to you . Because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. And the next great idea could be yours. Kennedy are corporations people . And should they get involved in politics . The left slammed the Citizens United ruling that determined companies can spend money on elections and president obama preyed on romneys word that corporations are people. But tim cook seems to agree with romney. Saying companies are a collection of people. As a ceo its a responsibility to decide what the values of your company are and lead accordingly. Trumps repeal of daca is one of the biggest issues of our time. Joining me, brian brenberg, this is briannomics. On the one hand you agree with tim cook that its a wonderful thing for a company to have some sort of value. An organization has to have value to unite people around a cause. But its a different thing to say we are going out into the political sphere and i as a ceo am going to speak on all my employees. Thats stifling speech within the organization. Kennedy it sounds like a collective and that sound like communism. If hes talk about specific political causes and the people in his company have values. Hes saying they all value the same political opinions. Which means hes either shortsighted and los angeles selfawareness or he only hires people who agree with him. Manage if you work for apple maybe you see things exactly the way tim cook does. But there might be people there who take different stances on these complicated issues. How does that make you feel when you say my boys out there saying im supposed to feel this way. Can i speak up. If you cant challenge conventional views you wont do anything creative. That spells problems for Companies Like apple that have to stay on top of whats going on in the world. You look at the last election and you see so many elites who couldnt understand where this came from. Maybe its because you have been too concerned about voicing your opinion and stating your values instead of listening to what people are saying. Leave a little room for disagreement and tension, yes it might be uncomfortable but you wont stifle free speech. Kennedy especially in a place like Silicon Valley which is the birthplace of the free speech movement. We have free speech week all next week. I appreciate this. Because i know you are pro busines
