Not accurate. and like i said, when committees write their bills and put their bills out there to mark up, everybody will see what they have done. spirit republican kentucky senator rand paul joined me now albert senator, good evening. >> thank you. >> he said this is just a start and it's up to the committee, and you are not part of that committee. >> i think it's actually more about substance than anything else. my concern is a little bit about transparency but a lot about substance. i'm annoyed that we are getting the bill from politico and not from the leadership of either the house or the...

So a lot of conservatives will be upset to know that we are keeping those things from obamacare and there needs to be an open debate about that. >> bret: is that all true? >> no, it's not. i think -- i like rand, but i think he is looking for a publicity stunt here. the committees of jurisdiction are drafting the frustration in getting feedback from their members. that's exactly how legislation is supposed to be written. the things he described are just not accurate. like i said, when the committees write their bills and put them out there to mark up, everybody will see what they have done. >>...
