Jshd committee and 20 years on the finance committee. we had a good friendship. he has contributed so much to the people of utah and. as you mentioned it s not just republicans we are hearing democrats offering their condolences. democratic senator amy klobuchar said. she tweeted senator hatch was kind to me and worked together well there were a lot of differences. but somehow we always looked for common ground. prayers for his family today. you know, orrin hatch was a real conserve, an old school conservative. oversaw the passage of the 2017 tax law, when he was the head of the finance committee. he oversaw a number of contentious confirms hearings when he headed up the judiciary committee. but at the same time he was someone who really valued bipartisanship and he reached across the aisle on multiple occasions to pass legislation including the americans with disability act. in fact at the time of retirement he passed more bills
Conservativism. by the end of his career in a different place. he was known for being able to work with democrats. he worked on the americans with disability act and critical in working with ted kennedy on creating the children s health insurance program and the second clinton term. so in many ways i think his kind of how he positioned relative to the overall party really underscores the kind of changes we have seen in the gop over the last five decades since the raegen era, which is a pretty steady move to the right and toward more confrontational posture toward the other party. dana bash i want to bring you in. you spent years reporting on capitol hill. if you re there dana bashible on the phone. yes. dana, you knew him, spent years on the hill reporting on orrin hatch. and, you know, this is another old school republican. um-hum. he was not afraid to work across the aisle. that s gone. well, it is it is not even
President bush changed the americans with disability act. a wall fell in berlin, a dictator s aggression did not stand. it was an immensely important four-year period, but politically in 1992 only 39% of the country wanted to rehire him and that s an inescapable fact. what you have to decide is if you re a president and ideally you want to do both if you re president is are you working toward history? are you working toward changing things for a generation or are you worried about a more short-term political benefit? as you and i know every president ever wants to do both but you can t always do both and i think these polls will go back up. they won t go up dramatically because of the polarized era we re in but if you ask me what the most important sign that we
25 restaurants and i asked them would you bar my friend if i came and she has m.s. and can t get the vaccine? they all said yes, i m sorry. i m just following the orders of the mayor. will: we have heard that before. i wish i didn t have to do this but that s the truth we are going to implement it now. will: that s a scary refrain i m just following orders. tim, i know you are not a lawyer but a wonderful investigative journalist who is vested in this topic. how is this discrimination legal? i mean, we do have the americans with disability act. i don t know, i am an attorney, i m not sure yet, whether or not cover something like this. i no he would on the frontlines, exploratory phase of discrimination right here. imagine a mayor issuing a mandate allowing racial segregation trying to supersede u.s. federal law either the ada or civil rights act. that s akin to what we are seeing. again, i m not a lawyer. did i speak with a lawyer. i said the question is, would multiple sclerosis or epilepsy, or cancer, would this be
Again, those changes happened last year. but this situation we re talking about here happened a year earlier in 2017. attorneys for the man who is suing says delta should have enforced the policies from the very beginning. let s to to ashley merchant a criminal defense attorney. is either delta or the dog s owner liable here? yes, they both face liability. the big problem is for delta and what they re going to do going forward. a couple of laws that govern this. one is the air carrier accessibility act. the ada, the americans with disability act is what we normally think about when we think of accommodations for service dogs. the airlines don t have to follow the ada. they have their honey separate act. that act is broader. it also covers the companion-type dogs, the emotional support dogs. delta has to follow the laws and regulations in that act. what they re allowed to do,

25, 28 years until his death. you had a chance as the chair of that to actually interview him not long ago, two or three years ago about the subject of disability. he of course signed the americans with disability act when he was president, he believes one of his most significant achievements. what was that discussion like? you know, he has always been a strong proponent ever since that day on the lawn 25, 28 years ago and it was easy to have the conversation with a friend and he alluded to that moment and said quite proudly of all the things that he had done maybe i don t take it out of context, that might have been the thing of which he was most proud because he elevated the rights of people with disabilities. remember, when we concluded the conversation we both agreed now having elevated the rights of people with disabilities, one more effort we have to make and that s get more of them in the workforce and he agreed with that. when he s having this discussion with you at that point he is in a wheelchair. absolutely. governor, this is a tough time for you, not only did you
Especially, as it became clear that he was heir apparent, if you will, to win the presidency, i think there was a real mutual admiration. it developed over time, clearly, they were adversaries politically prior to reagan s winning the white house. but once in the white house, they were partners. it became very clear at the end of the reagan administration how much that became to be true. shannon: bret, another one of the funnier nuggets we dug up, he said, i m conservative but i m not a nut about it. we remember back on the fact that he wanted very much to encourage this idea of compassionate conservatism, of having a heart for people who were poor and disadvantaged. i talked earlier about how he was instrumental in planting the americans with disability act.
But for republicans this is really about a bet. a bet that if they rush this through as quickly as possible people won t get to the bottom of how truly evil this bill is. they know this is an embarrassing product. they know this is going to hurt millions of americans and they hope that if they rush this thing through people won t have the time to figure it out. but they will. they already have. they know that this is a big bill that is essentially a cost shift from all of those people that you just showed, the disabled, the poor, middle class americans who have gotten insurance through the affordable care act through drug companies and millions. $800 billion cuts in health care to pay for $600 billion dollars in tax cuts for people who don t need it. i don t think they re going to be able to pull this over on the american public but that s what they re trying to do. by tlushds rushing this threw. you re a democrat.
Louisiana, minnesota and colorado combined. plus some. 75 million americans all have the same health insurance. and the big health bill that the republicans in the senate unv l unveiled today takes a meat ax to that health insurer. more than anything else it does. if you want to know one thing about it. let s say you want to know one good thing and one bad thing. the good thing for rich people is that it s a huge tax cut for rich people. that s one really good thing. the bad thing is it takes, as i said, a meat ax to that one health insurance provider, biggest health insurance provider in the country. singles it out above everything else related to health care in this country. cuts more than $800 billion out of that health insurer. that insures more than 75 million americans in this
