obamacare. we didn t like that. we couldn t support that. we could not in good conscious vote for that. fast-forward to today. everything that is in the bill democrats support and have voted for previously. this is pure politics. back in 2013 it had a much larger component of a principal involved to it. if you vote against a bill that you like, that s an entirely thing than voting against a bill you don t like. we ll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time there and good luck with this mess. thanks, jake. i appreciate you having me. president trump is pointing fingers at democrats for the government shutdown but some members of his own party voted against the government funding bill too. one of those no votes is senator paul next. senator bernie sanders is here too. he s ahead. stay with us. at don t have a l. finally, it was like the sun rose again and i was going to start
in stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and more, swanson® makes holiday dishes delicious! we just watched that strong speech on the senate floor by senator elizabeth warren. here was the response to that from senator lindsey graham of south carolina. let me respond to my good friend from massachusetts. you re tired, you re frustrated, you re upset about a provision in the bill you don t like, you think it takes the country down the wrong road. you have every right to be upset. you have every right to vote no and to argue to bring the bill down. you know what a lot of people on our side are tired of? the president changing the law whenever he would like. hardball, back after this.
mcconnell makes a deal with the white house and then the house has a governing coalition of democrats and some republicans? mark, help me out here. is that the deal? he s going to interrupt you. no, i don t understand. is harry reid such a nonplayer in washington, d.c. because i don t fault mitch mcconnell. what mitch mcconnell was doing was what harry reid is incapable of doing. making something pass out of the senate that actually counts. so i don t blame mitch mcconnell. but he gave away a ton. the reason you have the bill you don t like is because mitch mcconnell agreed to it. no, this is the way american democracy works. the senate passes a bill. it is a democratic senate. that is a bill i would expect out of a democratic senate. then the republican house is supposed to pass its version of a bill, and then they compromise. what does harry reid do exactly? because he doesn t pass budgets. he certainly wasn t talking to joe biden trying to make
i don t know if it happened to you, it happened to me, the feds broke down my front door and stole my turkey. the battering ram. i said what are you doing here? they said we passed obamacare. we are going to now confiscate your turkey. right off the table. did that happen to you in oh, yeah. atf. all these republicans on the floor saying freedom died, they re right. it s over. how many times has freedom died over the past three years, four years, according to republicans on the house floor? it s died quite often on both sides, as i recall. why don t we do this. we don t we have a couple of rules. rule number one, stop calling people nazis. good call. rule number two, stop proclaiming the death of american freedom when somebody passes a bill you don t like. i m for that. everybody, can we have that rule? mike? around this table, i think that makes sense. it may not extend beyond this table, i m afraid. people are crazy. i went on the twitter this weekend.
