That reward companies that stash profits overseas, we can reward companies that invest here in america. We know if we close loopholes that allow the top 1 to avoid paying taxes on their accumulated wealth, we can use that to help middle class families pay for child care and send their kids to college and that will help the entire economy grow. We need a tax code that helps working americans trying to get a leg up in this new economy. And thats what were fighting for. So we dont just talk the walk. We do not just talk the talk, we are walking the walk every day. Im telling you, democrats, we should never worry about fighting for these issues, because they are not only right, the American People stand right beside us on most of those issues. Sometimes that gets lost with all the money thats being spent by outside forces and the distortions and confusion. But when you actually look at the americans do they agree with our policies . Do they think these policies would help them . And when there is a fair presentation of the policies the other side is offering, the American People are with us every time. But maybe well bring them around. And i think there are actual places where we can work together, like reforming americas criminal Justice System so it protects and serves all of us. And it is fair. [applause] im looking forward to working with them. But until they start wanting to walk and not just talk, were going to keep offering the American People something better. Were going to offer the American People a vision that believes in opportunity, not just for a few but for everybody. Weve got to be the party that believes nobody should be treated like a second class person, regardless of what you look like, where you come from or who you love. Weve got to be the party that doesnt just recognize the threat of Climate Change but actually does something about it for the sake of our kids. [applause] were the party thats willing to make tough decisions. Weve got to be the party that practices a better kind of politics, not just in washington but in every community in america and that appeals to the basic decency of the American People, that sees our differences as a source of strength, that gives young people a sense of purpose and possibility and asks them to participate in our great democracy, that appeals not to fear but to hope. [applause] because this is not just about us in this room. This is not just a sports contest. This is not just about who is up and down at any given point, not about notches on a belt, not about ideological battles, proving how smart you are. Not about the backandforth of politics. Its about doing things that make peoples lives better. Its about doing things that make us confident that america will continue on this upward trajectory that began so many years ago. Its about making this nation we love more perfect. [applause] we are democrats we dont just want people to share in americas success. We want to see everybody contributing to americas success and building a smarter and stronger economy, forging a better and kinder society. And writing the next great chapter in this great countrys amazing story. That is what we are doing together. Still moving forward. Thank you, democrats. God bless you God Bless America lets get to work [applause] [music] on wednesday, former new york city mayor and republican president ial candidate Rudy Giuliani said, quote, i do not believe that the president loves america. At his daily briefing, white house spokesman josh earnest was asked to comment. Do you think Rudy Giuliani had lost it . I i dont know. Will you will you you but look, anytime we have will you there is somebody who has attained a certain level of public stature and even admiration, to see that person aadmiration, to see that person so thoroughly that are nish their tarnish their legacy, its sad. You will again, theres no element of that the people are feeling around here. I think what people are feeling is sorry for Rudy Giuliani. Again on this specific allegation, which, you know, however you want to characterize it, he says he doesnt believe the president loves america. Well, again, there are a number of examples. And john, youve traveled around the world with the president. So you know firsthand that there are a number of situations which the president said exactly that. The most high profile example was the last line of the state of the union, in which the country said god bless this country we love. What makes somebody of that stature, Rudy Giuliani, what makes them Say Something like that . I dont know. Josh earnest was also asked about a recent judicial ruling and striking down the president s executive actions on immigration. A couple of days ago, you said that the administration would make a decision in a couple of days about whether to [inaudible] has a decision been made . Roberta, what i can tell you is that the department of justice has made a decision to file a stay in this case. I would anticipate that they will file documents at the District Court level on monday at the latest. And so when they have filed those documents, they and we will be in a position to talk a little bit more about our legal strategy. That, of course, is separate and apart from our intents to pursue an appeal. That was something we announced in the immediate aftermath of the decision. And we will seek that appeal because we believe that when you evaluate the legal merits of the arguments, that there is a solid Legal Foundation for the president to take the steps he you announced late last year to reform our broken immigration system. Thats consistent with the way that previous president s over the course of several decades have used their executive authority. And that is why, you know, were going to continue to pursue this case through the legal system. So by filing a stay, what does that mean for people who are considering filing their paperwork for the department of Homeland Security has also put out a statement indicating that at this point theyre not prepared to accept applications for the program that the president announced at the end of last year. But once we have taken some additional steps through this legal process, we may be in a position to give you an yaup date about the status an adate about the status an update about the status of implementing the program. Some of this will depend on the in way that the question of the stay is resolved. You can watch the rest of the White House Daily briefing on our website, cspan.

The memories come flooding back for so many people who until today, had lost such a big part of their childhood. Some bearing the memories and with it, the history of this camp. Now more than 60 years later this sunday on q a the real reason for this camp. The government comes to the fathers and says, we have a deal for you. We will reunite you with your families in the crystal city internment camp, the family internment camp. If you agree to go voluntarily and then i discovered what the real secret of the camp was. They also had to agree to voluntarily repatriate to germany and japan is the government decided they needed to be repatriated. The truth of the matter is that the crystal city camp was humanely administered by the ins , but the special ward divisions of the department of states used it as roosevelts primary Prisoner Exchange. It was the center of roosevelts Prisoner Exchange program. Sunday night at eight eastern and specific cspans q a. Governors from around the country are in washington, d. C. For the National GovernorsAssociation Winter meeting. Some of them sat down for interviews with politico to discuss health care, job creation and the 2016 president ial race. Including tennessee governor bill haslam, Florida Governor rick scott, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo and Virginia Governor terry mcauliffe. This is two hours. [applause] thank you. Thank you. Thank you, marty. And thank you again, the second or third team, for bearing the elements to be here. Its a really exciting lineup. Were lucky to start with governor haslam, who just had how did i get the morning call . [laughter] record lows. He said, you come in early. Just one reelection with 70 of the vote. Congratulations on the second term. As i think was just said, former mayor of knoxville, one election in 2010. Since youve taken office, youve done a lot. You stripped back teacher tenure protections, enacted tort reform, expanded Charter Schools. Now youll have four more years. Well talk about some of your agenda for that. Youve earned a reputation in tennessee for kind of an ernest nodrama guy, practical. A lot of governors have talked about you, describe you as a workhorse, not a show horse, someone who is eager to talk to both sides of the policy ideas and actually wants to talk about policy, kind of that selfdefacing manner that has helped make you very popular in tennessee, so much so that no real democrat really ran against you last time. All of those things made you, to some, a surprising pick to be the republican Governors Association chair. Its typically a job where you throw a lot of red meat. Youre an attack dog. Thats just not your style. Its not. I think in politics you start to get in trouble when youre not who you are, when you try to wear someone elses clothes and it doesnt work. Thats not who i am, not why i ran for service. That might not be me, but i still think r. G. A. Has a really Important Role to play, and for r. G. A. To be successful matters to republican governors like me and a lot of other people. First, i do want to start on the policy front and on the state solutions. You just called a special session at the start of your new term, to expand medicaid. You spent months negotiating with the federal government. You got buyin from the hospitals, from the chamber, a whole host of different groups. Then it got killed. Quickly. It died a quick death in a special committee. I want to talk about what the future is there. But i also want to get the big picture, because were talking to a lot of governors today. Its the National Governors association weekend here. Matt in wyoming tried to do the same thing. Rick scott, our next speaker said he wanted to expand medicaid, got nowhere. Dead on arrival in the state legislature. John kasich in ohio had to go around his legislature to do it. Weve seen a lot of republican governors say lets do this, lets get people coverage. Then their own partys legislature blocks it. Its not unique. What do you think is going on there . What is driving that . I think, from my standpoint listen, im not a fan of the Affordable Care act either. But not really for the reasons that most people start with. The thing i think they messed up with was this. There are two huge issues around health care in our country. Number one, access. And no matter what party youre in, you should see that if someones primary method of health care is going to the emergency room, its not good for them. Not smart costwise, so access is an issue. Everybody should say that. The second thing is cost. My issue with the Affordable Care act, and if you look at how they did it, they didnt really attack the cost side in ways that they could. Everything from, you know, medicare being able to negotiate for pharmacy benefits and you can keep on going down the line for things they could have done at the time. So the issue is this. If youre going to attack a problem, you should be really upset when people take the easy apple but dont go get the hard one. The easy apple is lets cover more people. Thats hard for people to argue against politically. A if you get everybody, the Health Little care providers are getting paid for people they werent getting paid for, and now they are. The hard thing was to attract the hard thing was to attract cost. In State Government, the federal your government, thats eating up everybodys government. Youve all heard the joke that the u. S. Government is about to be a Large Health Care system one ofbe a Large Health Care system thats got an army and a navy. Your thats got an army and a navy. That is why tuition is going up. We have to do something to address the costs. Our revised kind of proposal for what to do about medicaid, we think, addresses the cost side on both the users side by having some incentive for thehaving some incentive for premiums and copays, but that you could get reimbursed for if you made healthy choices. If you got an annual physical, things anybody can do regardless of their economic circumstances. You could get credit back to your account for that. On the providers side, to really move toward more of an outcome based system instead of just fee for service. Youre paying the anesthesiologist, the pharmacist, and say, no, were going to pay exdollars and xdollars and pay even more if you have a good result. Obviously what happened is, in on our state, we have a very red state. We have 132 state legislators. 100 of them are republican. Im the first governor in will history to ever serve with a republican majority. So we went from rarely ever having a republican majority to having these i used to call it we went from a majority to a supermajority. Now they call it a super duper majority. [laughter] anyway, we had this history kind of blue to red switch. We have so many legislators that were terrified of being identified with something that said obamacare. Is the obamacare just brand so toxic that even though you can argue its not obamacare theres no question. And when we made the argument, we said heres what obamacare is, everything from the individual mandate, everything they did. And heres what were saying, in a program that, again, had premiums and copays, that really was a different idea. But it was hard to get away from that. And i think some of that i mean, you can say, well, they should get past the politics. Some of that urn fortunately is the leftover residue on passing something on a totally partisan basis. That all led people to say well, we cant really trust them. In your state of the state speech you asked if it is such a toxic brand in the went and did some of her to get there, is Medicaid Expansion going to happen while youre governor . I certainly hope so. Again, we think that the approach we made was a really practical, smart answer to a real problem. We still have you know, the program we think would have covered an additional 285,000 tennesseeians who dont have health insurance. Theyre getting health insurance, just in the wrong way. The emergency room is getting care at the wrong place, wrong time, wrong way. So what we want to do is provide a different way to get health coverage, which is still important, and to do something to attack the cost curve, which is still important. We have providers willing to work with us on payment reform. But theyre going to work with us a little more wholeheartedly if they see coverage for people that theyre not getting paid for now. One of the opponents arguments, and its a substantive argument, is that the federal government is going to leave States Holding the bag, that theyre going to cover for the first couple of years, then theyre just not going to provide the money and all these people are going to have care and it will be a tough situation. Do you think the federal government will be good for the money . Well, let me say this. This is going to sound like an odd thing for a problem to argue. For a republican to argue. But were talking about the United States of america has never missed a medicaid payment. Thats what were talking about. Thats important to remember. There is some fear from folks, and thats, if you like it, you can keep it, all that stuff kind of built into the fear that people have. But in our case, we actually had really what the Supreme Court ruling said, that said that the federal government couldnt force states to expand who they covered. So if they cant force you to ex
