President obamas sitting legacy. President elect trump expressed his compassion for those with preexisting conditions. Are you going to make sure people with preconditions are still covered . Yes, because it happens to be one of the strongest he sets, also for the children living with their parents for an extended period. Well try to keep that. This entitlement is so deeply linked with our economy its impossible to pull out one of the gooey arms. Mr. Trump wants to keep the preexisting caveat, forcing Insurance Companies to provide service to the sickly but without forcing people to buy insurance they dont need. Its like forcing someone to sit down and have a baby when all they want to do is fool around. Obamacare got us pregnant and now we are found out we are not just a little bit pregnant. We thought we could be pregnantish and at the end of the day wear our skinny jeans. But now we are stuck with a baby and our new boyfriend just got elected president and he will be too busy and tired to give the baby a midnight bottle. Hes got a crying, teething infant. There is no easy fix. Some people say leave it to the free market. We wanted to do that on a vegas girls weekend. Just when you were ready to pull out of this horrible entitlement program, you sweet talk us. Well, now we have a baby and we cant gift away. Lord knows we cant sell it, can we . And we cant pretend we never got pregnant in the first place. I guess well have to buy guaranteed renewable insurance contracts and hope our new baby daddy is more hand on than the deadbeat leaving the oval office. Babies are one hell of a preexisting condition. President elect trump plengd to repeal and replace obamacare. But thats easier said than done. What should we do . I think we should turn to his president ial director. Can you possibly do that and keep the individual mandate . And what does it do to the Health Insurance market. The whole point repealing obamacare is to make coverage more secure for people with expensive medical conditions. The problem is obamacare is not doing that. The provisions president elect trump wants to keep supposedly ban discrimination against people with preexisting conditions dont end discrimination against people with preexisting conditions. Instead they are causing a race to the bottom where coverage is available to continuously degrade year after year. There is a coalition of patient groups that says this ongoing discrimination completely undermines the promise of the aca. In spite of obamacare, and because of obamacare, thats why we need to get rid of all of obamacare including the supposedly popular conditions supposedly banning discrimination against patients with pretesting conditions. Kennedy if you weed out the bad parts of the aca you dont like, you are left with the status quo. You could argue it was the impending failure of obamacare that got donald trump elected in the first place. Lets say you do what you just suggested. Lets say you scrap the whole thing. What do you do for the 20 Million People who have insurance because of obamacare. And how can you create a system in a short amount of time that fixes the daily Healthcare Market . You stop the bleeding. Obamacare and other government leaders are exacerbating this problem of preexisting conditions. You want to put in place reforms that allow people to have secure access to care when they get sick. What was where that was happening was in the individual market that obamacare pretty much abolished. If you allow people to purchase insurance without tax penalties, tell them to buy insurance from an employer, to purchase insurance directly from an Insurance Company, that insurance is more secure than obamacare, than employersponsored insurance. It will do a better job of providing access to care for the sick. There are so many people who are victims of obamacare and other government failures that there will have to be some form of transitional assistance for people currently in the exchanges and wont be able to afford coverage in a market where obamacare has been repealed. It needs to be transitional and only transitional. Kennedy was the law designed so there wouldnt be a transition so there was no way of take out major parts of the law and dismantling it so you had to keep the entire thing tore scrap it completely. Was it designed that way . What he were designing is the three legged stool. Between the Community Rating price controls, what we call the ban on discrimination and the individual mandate and the subjects does, you have the three legs of that threelegged stool. Donald trump is saying he can knock out two of those legs. Which is why you need to get rid of all of obamacare. For the vast majority of people in the exchanges, the premiums will fall. It will be more affordable and more secure. For the people who were the victims of obamacare, you need a high risk pool or giving people more flexibility with medicaid funds. And that solves that transitional problem and we build a Healthcare System that provides secure access. Kennedy well see who is going to take care of the baby. Michael cannon, thank you so as much. American healthcare may be racing down the drain. But not my party panel. Harris faulkner, and we have michael malice. And democratic strategist steven sigmund. Its so nice to have you here. Are you going to admit it was obamacare that leveled the fatal blow to Hillary Clintons president ial aspirations . It didnt help. Politically getting rid of obamacare will help democrats in the long run its been an enormous albatross around them. From a policy perspective. I disagree the with the notion that throwing 20 Million People off of healthcare. Kennedy i dont think he was saying that. He was talking about a transitional program. I think you are sort of one cancer diagnosis or Traffic Accident away from bankruptcy. But you bring up the idea of a Traffic Accident. On some level perhaps every Insurance Company is not morally obligated to cover every person who comes to them. If you get in feanlder bender and you have insurance, can you call geico . Maybe you would have been able to under the Hillary Clinton administration. This was intentional. When f. D. R. Had Social Security passed, he night wasnt something you could repeal. Once you pull them out you are left with nothing and it becomes a calamity. So what trump and republicans would have to do is repeel it and replace it in the exact same moment or you have a boulder of economic problems. This aspect of obamacare is extremely popular. Just because something is popular, its disastrous economically. Kennedy it creates a death spiral where healthcare premiums become cost prohibitive. I was taking notes as you were interviewing. As i haired, kennedy, you were wondering whether the system were designed to be tinkered with. I agree with you. Thats where Hillary Clinton was trying to go. Her husband said on the campaign trail it was the craziest thing and he had to walk it back. His wife was going to try to fix it the way we may see it fixed. Donald trump may be able to do a move. The irs is tasked with collecting the revenue stream. Thats how its being paid for. You cant rip off the bandaid. This is how you rip off the bandaid, having the Supreme Court do the dirty work for you. You have a Republican Congress who didnt repeal it 60 times for nothing. They dont care about the politics aspect of it. They will vote to repeal. Kennedy well see what happens. Coming up, leftists are enraged donald trump will make former breitbart ceo steve bannon his breitbart ceo steve bannon his chief as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Someone of president elects first appointment was naming steve bannon as his chief analyst. He helped trump stay on message during the campaign. Bys accused of using breitbart to spread racist, nationalistic propaganda. So malice, i will start with you. A lot of people on twitter confuse the altright and steve bannon is associated with the altright base the difference . They are next door neighbors. They are part of this new right. I have a lot of friends call me asking if we should be worried about the trump presidency. If bannon is there they should be very worried. He understands the left and he wants to destroy them. He doesnt want bipartisan discourse. He wants these people to be if not in jail, at least driven out of office. First thing he will be gunning for is the universities because thats where the poisoning starts. Hes really shopping for blood. Kennedy do you think thats dangerous to have someone with access to the most powerful person in the government. Dangerous is best thing ever. These people are the devil. Their joins to brainwash Young College students to make them into the shock groups for the lefts militia. Kennedy steven, you are shaking your head. My father was a college professor. Do you need a safe space . I need somebody who is more honest. Twhawts very honest. Having them all it many the truth. Give me a break. Steve bannon when your chief clear leaders are the American Nazi Party and david duke you have a problem. In terms of who reacted positively to his appointment, those are the people who reacted positively to his appointment and everybody else reacted negatively. I dont think it matters to donald Trump Supporters. Its been very clear the people who surround him. Kennedy is he dangerous . Steve bannon . I have no idea. I know his website headlines are pretty gross, and he has no experience to be that close to the president of the United States. But again his supporters, donald Trump Supporters dont car all they want him to do is deliver on his prom is for jobs and change washington. If he doesnt deliver on bringing back manufacturing jobs that have been gone for 40 years he will have a problem. Kennedy you have got a counter balance with reince priebus. There is no lo lost between paul ryan werent new speaker of the house as of a few hours before the show tonight there is no lo lost between him and steve bannon. So thats our counter balance. I know you are going back emotionally about a lot of things that have been said by steve bannon in places he stepped in and out of and his track record as a conservative. But hes tightly yoked to the military and military families will tell you they longed for and enemy shell obama did some of this, they lodged for somebody who served as a naval officer to speak up big and bold. We have a shrinking military. Its one of the things donald trump ran on. This is a good fit for him in terms of steve bannon. He served as special assistant to the chief of Naval Operations in the pentagon. Thats something about bannon people dont know. Hes not single faceted but he does have a colorful past. Kennedy well see what elements of your experience you bring to the white house. Google and facebook are working to delete fake news sites. What does this mean for your free speech . First, europeans drawing up defense plans that dont include america. What could a Trump Administration mean for the kennedy donald trump wont be in Office Another two months, by the looks like hes already flipping the world order on its head. Yesterday he spoke with Vladimir Putin and they reportedly discussed bringing the two countries closer together diplomatically and militarily it also has leaders in europe on edge who have been worried about putins aggression. Now europe considering building their own military separate from nato. The host of kfi radio show in los angeles. Brian also a combat veteran of iraq and bass ania. Welcome back. Thanks for having me, kennedy. Kennedy im glad you brought the pipe. What should the u. S. Do . They should remind the europeans that trump in the first debate said he gets nato. He will support nato. But they are still reacting to what he said in july when he said i dont know if well come to your defense. They are reacting like a mistress who overheard her sugar daddy talking to his old girlfriend. Our politicians say why are we sending our boys oversea. The World Without the United States involved in europe is a bad world. And the europeans now they know they are incapable of cutting off their addiction to generous social program and actually pay for what would be. Hundred billion dollar defense. Kennedy thats not the worst thing for fuss they have that selfexamination and figure out maybe they need to buy some new kevlar vests up pointy guns. They have woken up and they had their come to pierre moment. They realize we cant afford to do with what the United States does with just one of its 13 battle carrier groups. The newest members of nato, polled and estonia. The french have no room to cater wall when they are spending 12 . And they have maintained these social program for the last 50 years. Kennedy how is this clintontrump souffle the putintrump souffle . I dont like that, but when i hear the name john bolton being thrown around. That guy is a realist. He knows the cut of putins jib. Kennedy im curious about ambassador boltons name being floated because of the connection he has with steve bannon. They are close. Do you think he has ruffled feathers over russia still keeps him in the running . I hope so. I think hes trumps kind of buy. If bannon says so, then he will be trumps guy. Steve bannon also is a guy who knows what we are dealing with in the kremlin. If he has trumps ear than a lot of my concerns are assuaged. Kennedy thank you for being here as always. Liberals doubled down on executive orders under obama. Kmele foster joins me with his kennedy president obama has used executive orders to use controversial decisions from targeting and killing people with drones to committing america to the Iran Nuclear Deal and the Paris Climate Accord without involving congress. Now the shoe is on the other foot and the democrats are crying foul. It seems they forgot pendulum swings both ways. Kmele foster is here, and hes one of the cohosts of the fifth column podcast. Lets talk about this. The quon season tracing of president ial power should be unsettling for both sides. But it seems as though democrats and leftists have forgotten when your philosopher king is no longer in power, some of the power you have given him or her remains. Yes, and in this case barack obama used to talk these issues a lot. When he was the senator repairing to run for president , one of his minnesota scathing criticisms of the Bush Administration was their secrecy and use of power. He said that the Bush Administration was abusing its authority by going to war in all sorts of area and places without consulting congress. He promised he would change things when he got into the white house. In fact he did the exact opposite. He doubled down on what the administration was doing before him and he went even further if all of those areas you talked about with respect to immigration reform, trade policy. Some of those things we might have liked like immigration reform. Having a broader more comprehensive immigration policy that gives people peace of mind who happen nobody this country is a good thing. But you have to go about it in the right way. Kennedy knowing what the rules are. I always thought it was foolish for the democrats to pass amacare versus immigration reform. Because we are left in a polarizing situation where the incoming president be use those orders those Supreme Court has pushed back. Here is someone running on extending and protecting civil liberties, but he expand the surveillance state and domestic mass spying. Thats something we get it was a complete diametric shift. Now you have someone coming into Office People worry has an her td has anauthoritarian streak. If we are holding out hope for anything, because donald trump is who he is, both the left and certain elements of the right arent going to allow him to get away with some of the things president obama has. President trump, it would be unlikely he could have drone strikes in 7 Different Countries people dont know about and not have members of the media talk about it constantly. Because he has enemies within his own party, maybe there is a fracture. It does have enemies on the left. Do you think there is going to be more accountability because of that . The left seems to have rediscovered the things called executive powers. They seem to be concerned about people who grab their phone and pen to take actions unilaterally despite the fact they are facing congressional opposition. I am glad they have dont. I wish they had dont sooner. Some consistency would h
