This is a huge day, and 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 1: it's not the perfect bill. I'm not gonna sit here 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: and tell you, oh, this is exactly the way I 15 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: would have done. It wouldn't have happened. Sam. Part of 16 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party in the reality of the caucus 17 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: is just very very simple, and that is that there 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: are too many moderate Republicans that have no desire to 19 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: really take on repealing and replacement. But that that's fine 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: and so, but what there's a number of things in 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: play here that we've got to understand that we have 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: been lied to for so long and that we have 23 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: been this has become such an unmitigated disaster and so 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: bad for so many millions of Americans, and every promise 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: that was made they failed you on that it is 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: imperative that we understand what this turn now provides in 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: terms of an opportunity for the American people, and in 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: that case, it's a win. You know, just to talk 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: about the spontaneity of radio I just as I was 30 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: coming on the air, I got a an email from 31 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: my friend Jeff Lord, who who wrote the best selling 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: book about Donald Trump, The Case for Trump, and he 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: actually went back and looked at Donald Trump's book Never 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: Give Up, How I turned my biggest challenges into success, 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: and how the book was written by Trump, and you know, 36 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: the same guy that wrote the other bestseller, The Art 37 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: of the Deal. And now he has finally passed healthcare. 38 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: And we've learned a lot about the Republican Party, and 39 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: we've learned a lot about the people that absolutely within 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: the Republican ranks that are extraordinarily difficult to to deal with. 41 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: And then we learned a lot about the character of 42 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: people like Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows and Louis Garmer 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: and all of these people that were willing to work 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: day and night, night and day to find that ability 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: to thread that needle, to literally find that secret sauce, 46 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: to find the best that we can get and begin 47 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: the process of saving what is now a precipitous, rapid 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: death spiral, which is known as Obamacare. And what Jeff 49 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: I think points out which is so interesting to me, 50 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: is with all the attention during the campaign about the 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: art of the deal book, that he rightly points out 52 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: that that in fact Trump's book never gave up, gives 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: a lot of insight into the type of guy he is, 54 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: and of course which kind of leads us to where 55 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: we are today. And you know, the book is forty 56 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: one chapters. You know, the number of chapters ending with 57 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: a closing thought like from Coach Trump. You know, failure 58 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: is not permanent wholeness in the art of the comeback. 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: You know, the Apprentice was supposed to be a big mistake. 60 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: At the best advice you can then trust your gut, 61 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, is this a blipper catastrophe? Be prepared for 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: things that happen outside your game plan. When the other 63 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: side expects a duel, offer a partnership. That's right out 64 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: of the art of the deal. And he talked about 65 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: Trump International Golf Links in Scotland, just like you know 66 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: the woman Rink in New York. Separate yourself from the whiney, 67 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: complaining crowd. You can create your own luck. Be passionate. 68 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: It's the only way to move mountains building. You know. 69 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: Another golf club story. Don't let don't let fear stop you. 70 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: Somebody told me once there's a book. I never read it, 71 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: but I get everything out of the title, you know, 72 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: and it's a really simple one, and that is feel 73 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: the fear and do it anyway. I was not exactly 74 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: comfortable my first day on the radio and my first 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: day given a speech, or my first day on TV. 76 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: But if you don't push through that fear, and some 77 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: people don't, some people will get paralyzed by it and 78 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: it stops them and they never get the advice from 79 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: that that older person with prospectus, And don't worry. That 80 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: fear doesn't last forever. You know, once you push through 81 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: it a few times, you'll be fine. I can't tell 82 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: you how many people in my life I have given 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: that advice to. How many people scared to death to 84 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: ever try being a guest on my television show, and 85 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: that I've walked through Linda literally, you know, we will 86 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: walk through callers on this radio show. I've heard her 87 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: do it. That's all right, now, don't be nervous, take 88 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: a deep breath, and just focus on what you want 89 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: to say, not her telling them what to say. You know, 90 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: one time I was on TV. I don't know if 91 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: you remember the Terry Shivo case, and there was a 92 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: very kind, wonderful, nice woman that had taking care of 93 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: Terry Shivo and the thought that there was some legitimacy 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: to the argument that Terry Shivo had some level of 95 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: awareness and wanted to tell her story. And she'd never 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: been on TV before, and she's she's pretty, she's physically nervous. 97 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: It was. It was transparent, and I'm like, just look 98 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: me in the eye, you know, And I kind of 99 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: grabbed her hand and squeezed it, not a bad way, 100 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: not in a mean way, but in a way to 101 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: grab her attention and kind of shocked her out of 102 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: her head. Because when you're in your head, remember, thoughts 103 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: create feelings, Feelings create more thoughts. Mind begins to spend 104 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: then though, those thoughts create more and more feelings, more 105 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: and more feelings, more and more thoughts when you start 106 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, you're shaking, and emotionally 107 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: and physically. You know it can impact your whole life. 108 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: So that's a very good advice. You need to look 109 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: down from the high dive and see a pool and 110 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: just say, I have no idea how bad this is 111 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: gonna be, and just jumps once in a while in 112 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: your life. And a lot of people never take that jump. 113 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: And you gotta jump, you gotta dive, you gotta take risk, 114 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: and and sometimes if you don't do it, you us 115 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: you're just impeding any potential human growth in your life. 116 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: It's really important that you take gross anyway, don't give up, 117 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: be patient. You know you may have to wait twenty 118 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: years for a deal to pay off, and where others 119 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: fail and and all these things. So you know what 120 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: The story here is this that we've learned that there 121 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: were some Republicans that I don't like in this process. 122 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: We've learned that there were sixties show votes by Republicans 123 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 1: that they didn't mean it when they talked about repealing 124 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: and replacing Obamacare. Just the fact now with that said, 125 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: we ran into that obstacle. The friday that the vote 126 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: was scheduled, it was clear they didn't have the votes. 127 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: Then we learned that Republicans weren't prepared to manage in 128 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: the House yet, and they didn't build a consensus bill. 129 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: And this was a top down leadership bill that the 130 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: rank and file members hadn't seen. No consensus was built, 131 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: the varying factions within the Republican Party weren't consulted. So 132 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: I remember talking and I said this, I told you 133 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: other story. Yeah, today that I got on the phone 134 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: with the Freedom Caucus members who they're the people, frankly 135 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: in Congress that I admire respect the most, that are 136 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: the most conservative, most willing to fight hard, the most 137 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: willing to stand on their principles, and without which this 138 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: bill never would have passed. They'll never get credit for 139 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: what they did behind the scenes. Here the mark meadows 140 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: the Jordan's, the brats, the go Merts, the people that 141 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: worked night and day since the Friday that bill was 142 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: pill pulled with the Study Group, the Tuesday Group, the moderates, 143 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: and even members of the Senate that worked day and 144 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: night with them. By the way, the President is about 145 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: to speak. So for stations along the Sean Hannity Show 146 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: affiliates UH around the country, we will be taking that 147 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: when it happens, and we're being somewhat flexible in our 148 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: first break here today to get the president's first comments 149 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: after this, this healthcare bill of Obama's for the replacement 150 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: bill was put in place today. So then what realized, 151 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: all right, we've got challenges, we've got a diverse caucus, 152 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: we've got a hundred people we didn't know, didn't mean it. 153 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: We know all of this, all right, So but they 154 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: never stopped working. I can't tell you how many phone calls, 155 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: how many hours I spent, and and I was just 156 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: a small piece of just trying to encourage and offer, 157 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: you know, bounce ideas off of to get the bill 158 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: to a point where it's going to meet the main goals. 159 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: And the main conversation I had the Saturday after this 160 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: was pulled with the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows, 161 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: and he'll back me up on this, was all right, Mark, 162 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: what is it that you need? Remember he was getting blamed, 163 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: his caucus was getting play. Oh, the Freedom Caucus. Even 164 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: the White House thought it was the Freedom Caucus. It 165 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: wasn't the Freedom Caucus. It was poorly managed by the 166 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: House leadership. Fact end of sentence, it was it was 167 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: not the Freedom Caucus. What do we need? What are 168 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: the goals here? And he said, well, we've got a 169 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: kind of lower A memiums. We've got to bring in 170 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: free market competition. We've got to offer Americans lower premiums, 171 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: better care, more options, healthcare savings accounts emerging out of this, 172 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: and healthcare cooperatives. Now we'll talk to Dr Umber. We'll 173 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: get his take on this at the top of the 174 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: next hour. And this is the guy that has created 175 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: a model that I think can be duplicated around the world, 176 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: and now there will be an opportunity to get there 177 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: which didn't exist before. By the way, I think, here 178 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: comes the president. Oh, there's Paul Ryan, there's Kevin McCarthy. Wow. 179 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't see Mark Meadows, do you, Linda, Oh, he's 180 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: there already, Okay, where is he in the last row? 181 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus is already in the front row. Right now 182 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: you're seeing the majority of minority whip row. Wow. I'm 183 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: very impressed. That's where they should be. That's where they 184 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: should be. So maybe they are getting the credit that 185 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: they fully and truly deserve. I still don't see meadows. 186 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: He's a pretty tall guy. Where over on the left, 187 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: he's the left of the screen or the left of 188 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: where there as it will be. He's to the right 189 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: of the President, the left of your screen. So he's 190 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: to the right of McCarthy and Secretary Price. Yes, sir, 191 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: he's right behind Ryan. He's right behind Ryan. All right, 192 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: Oh there he is. Okay, very nice. We should reverse that. 193 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: But what can you do? All right? Are you done? 194 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm trying to explain the story, and so through a 195 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: series of difficulties. Now it's made more challenging because of 196 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: the parliamentary issues involving the Senate and reconciliation. But that 197 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: doesn't as I said to him that day, it doesn't matter. 198 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: Most Americans don't care about reconciliation. But anyway, here comes 199 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: the President and the Vice President up to the podium. 200 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna dip in now, shaking the hands of members 201 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: of Congress. Two seventeen boats in the House. And Obamacare 202 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: as we know it is dead and gone and thankfully buried. 203 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of conservatives that made this 204 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: day happen. There are moderates that I'm disappointed in. Though 205 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: there's Mark Meadows, Paul Ryan and Mark Meadows shaking the 206 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: President's hand. They're joking. I wish I knew what they said, 207 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: but whatever it is, I'll find out later.

Welcome to the White House, and thanks to 235 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: the leadership of President Donald Trump, welcome to the beginning 236 00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: of the end of Obamacare. It was March two thousand ten, 237 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: seven years ago Democrats passed the government takeover of health care, 238 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: and at that time Republicans in Congress promised the American 239 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: people that law would not stand. Today, thanks to the perseverance, 240 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: the determination, and the leadership of President Donald Trump and 241 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: all the support of those gathered here, we've taken a 242 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: historic first step to repeal and replace Obamacare and finally 243 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: give the American people the kind of health care they deserved. 244 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: So today, with heartfelt gratitude for all he has done 245 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: to keep his word to the American people, and for 246 00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: all he will do to continue to make America could 247 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: great again, it is my high honor and distinct privilege 248 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: to introduce to you the President. Thank you, thank you, 249 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: thank you. Mike. That's the group. Thank you, thank you 250 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: very much. This really is the group. What a great 251 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: group of people. And they're not even doing it for 252 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: the party. They're doing it for this country because we 253 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: suffered with Obamacare. I went through two years of campaigning 254 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, no matter where I went, people 255 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: were suffering so badly with the ravages of Obamacare. And 256 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: I will say this that, as far as I'm concerned, 257 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: your premiums, they're gonna start to come down. We're going 258 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: to get this passed through the Senate. I feel so 259 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: confident you're deductibles. When it comes to deductibles, they were 260 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: so ridiculous that nobody got to use their current plan. Uh, 261 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: this non existent plan that I heard so many wonderful 262 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: things about over the last three or four days after that. 263 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's I don't think you're gonna hear so 264 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: much right now. The insurance companies are fleeing. It's been 265 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: a catastrophe. And this is a great plan. I actually 266 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: think it will get even better. And this is make 267 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: no mistake. This is a repeal and a replace of Obamacare. 268 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it, make no ma said. And 269 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: I think most importantly, yes, premiums will be coming down, Yes, 270 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: deductibles will be coming down, But very importantly, it's a 271 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: great plan. And ultimately that's what it's all about. We 272 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: knew that wasn't going to work. I predicted it a 273 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: long time ago. I said it's failing, and now it's 274 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: obvious that it's failing. It's dead. It's essentially dead. If 275 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: we don't pay lots of ransom money over to the 276 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: insurance companies, that would die immediately. So what we have 277 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: is something very very incredibly well crafted. Tell you what, 278 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: there is a lot of talent standing behind me, an 279 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: unbelievable amount of talent that I can tell you. I 280 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: mean it. And you know, coming from a different world 281 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: and only being a politician for a short period of time, 282 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: how am I doing? Am I doing? Okay, I'm president? 283 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: Hey a president? Do you believe it? Right? I don't know. 284 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: It's I thought you needed a little bit more more time. 285 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: They always told me in more time, but we didn't. 286 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: But we have an amazing group of people standing behind me. 287 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: They worked so hard, and they worked so long, and 288 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: what I said, let's do this. Let's go out, just 289 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: short little shots for each one of us, and let's 290 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: say how good this plant is. We don't have to 291 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: talk about this unbelievable victory. Wasn't it unbelievable? So we 292 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: don't have to say it again. But it's gonna be 293 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: an unbelievable victory actually when we get it through the Senate, 294 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: and there's so much spirit there. But I said, let's 295 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: go out. We have a little list of some of 296 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: the people, and I think after that list goes if 297 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: they don't talk too long our first list, we're gonna 298 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: let some of the other folks just come up and 299 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: say whatever you want. But we want to brag about 300 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: the plan because this plan really oh well, yeah we may, 301 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: but we're just gonna talk a little bit about the plan, 302 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: how good it is, some of the great features. I 303 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: want to thank Paul Ryan. He has worked so hard. 304 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: And I was joking, I said, you know, Paul, for 305 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: the last week, I've been hearing Paul Ryan doesn't have it. 306 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: It's not working with Paul Ryan. He's going to get 307 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: rid of Paul Ryan. Then today I heard Paul Ryan's 308 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: a genius. He's come along. I think, whatever, you know, 309 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: the groups have all come together. We have the Tuesday Group, 310 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: we have so many groups. We have the Freedom Caucus, 311 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: we have and they're all great people, but we have 312 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: a lot of groups. But they all came together. Really, Paul, 313 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: I'd say in the last three or four days, especially 314 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: in the last day. See Mark, and I see Kevin. 315 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: I see so many people. Jim Uh. We just have 316 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: developed a bond. This has really brought the Republican Party together. 317 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: As much as we've come up with a really incredible 318 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: health care plan, this has brought the Republican Party together. 319 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: We're going to get this finished and then we're going, 320 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: as you know, we put our tax plan in. It's 321 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: a massive tax cunt. The biggest tax cut in the 322 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: history of our country. I used to say the biggest 323 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: since Ronald Reagan. Now it's bigger than that. Also, pure 324 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 1: tax reform. So we're gonna get that done next and 325 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: this really helps it. A lot of people said, how 326 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: come you kept pushing healthcare knowing how tough it is. 327 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: Don't forget Obamacare took seventeen months. Hillary Clinton tried so hard, 328 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: really valiantly, in all fairness to get healthcare through didn't happen. 329 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: We've really been doing this for eight weeks if you 330 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: think about it, and this is a real plan, this 331 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: is a great plan, and we had no support from 332 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: the other party. So I just want to introduce somebody 333 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: to say a few words who really has been I 334 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: think treated very unfairly. But it no longer matters because 335 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: we won, and we're gonna finish it off, and we're 336 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: gonna go into a lot of other things, and we 337 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: are going to have a tremendous four years and maybe 338 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: even more importantly, we're going to have a tremendous eight years. 339 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: But we're going to start off with just a great 340 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: first year. And Paul Ryan come up and say a 341 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: few words. Congratulations on a job well done. Can you 342 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: get fixed in stuff?

Of course, this would not have been possible 360 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: if that weren't for these two gentlemen behind me. This 361 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: is the fourth presidency I've served with I have never 362 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: ever seen any kind of engagement like this. I want 363 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: to thank Mike Prince and I want to thank President 364 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump for their personal involvement in working with our 365 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: members and working to get this right, for getting this 366 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: done and getting us to where we are. Thank you gentlemen. Today, 367 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: it was a big day, but it is just one 368 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: step in this process, an important step. We still have 369 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do to get this signed 370 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: into law, and I know that our friends over in 371 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: the Senate are eager to get to work. They are 372 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: We're going to see that work through. You know why 373 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: We're going to see this through because the issues are 374 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: just too important, The stakes are just too high. The 375 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: problems facing American families are real, and the problems facing 376 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: American families as a result of Obamacare are just too 377 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: dire and too urgent. Just this week, just this week, 378 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: we learned of another state, Iowa, where the last remaining 379 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: healthcare plan is pulling out of ninety four of their 380 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: nine counties, leaving most of their citizens with no plans 381 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: on the Obama market at all. What kind of protection 382 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: is Obamacare if there are no plans to choose from. 383 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: And this is a trend that we're seeing all across 384 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: the country. The truth is this law has failed and 385 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: is collapsing. Premiums are skyrocketing, and choices are disappearing, and 386 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: it is only getting worse, spiraling out of control, and 387 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: that is why we have to repeal this law and 388 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: put in place a real vibrant marketplace with competition and 389 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: lower premiums for families. That's what the American health Care 390 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: Act is all about. It makes healthcare more affordable, It 391 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: takes care of our most vulnerable, and it shifts power 392 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: from Washington back to the States, and most importantly, back 393 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: to you, the patient. Like I said, we've got a 394 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: lot of work to do, but one thing is now clear. 395 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: Republicans are committed to keeping our promise to lift the 396 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: burden of Obamacare from the American people and put in 397 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: place a better, more patient centered system. It is my 398 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: pleasure at this time to think and to welcome to 399 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: the stage someone who helped make this so possible are 400 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: very talented Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. So a big bear 401 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: hug between Speaker Paul Ryan and President Donald Trump. The 402 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: two have had some problems in the past, but there 403 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: on al right, that was a Speaker Ryan, And you know, 404 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: think about what he just said there. Iowa alone is 405 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: now counties that you know, m this was a death spiral. 406 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: That's how big a deal this really was for you. 407 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: The American people on so many different levels. You know, 408 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: I want to just how do let's go back to 409 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: Ken McCarthy. A right, here, we go counties in Iowa 410 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: out of We're not that they won't have very many choices, 411 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: They'll have no choice. How do you care for pre 412 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: existing conditions when there's no care at all? Or you 413 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: read the paper yesterday and you look at ETNA pulling 414 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: out of Virginia or the Tennessee next year with sixteen 415 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: counties with no care, or what about those families that 416 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: paid into those twenty three co ops that Obamacare created 417 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: with more than two billion dollars. Eighteen of them has 418 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: collapsed and the only answer that this American government gives 419 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: them is a penalty. You simply look at the facts. 420 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: More people took the penalty are the exemption that actually 421 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: signed up for Obamacare. I did not run to this 422 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: office to promote a party. I ran for this office 423 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: to make this country better. Yeah, and it would be 424 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: easy to say no, it would be easy to watch 425 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: it collapse. But I can't look at those families. I 426 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: don't think that's right. And that's the exact message I 427 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: got from this administration. So, Mr President, I want to 428 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: thank you. I want to thank you for your leadership. 429 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: I want to thank the Vice president. You know, I've 430 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: only been through a few presidents, but I've never seen 431 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: someone so hands on. Walk into my office. Yesterday morning, 432 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: they say the President is calling again. I pick up 433 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: the phone. I happened to be the majority leader of 434 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: the former whip. I know my members well. The President 435 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: gives me a list of who he thinks I would 436 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: be best to talk to on the list, and he 437 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: was right, and Mr President, they all voted for the bill. 438 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: Today is a start. Today is the start of a 439 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: new beginning. Yes, it's about providing better health care. But 440 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: I happen to have been a small business owner. I 441 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: listened to my district. You know how many families no 442 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: longer have a forty hour job and now have to 443 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: take two part time jobs, Or how many small businesses 444 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: told me that they couldn't expand anymore because they were 445 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: afraid of what Obamacare would do for them. We're gonna unshackle, 446 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: build an economy, let people have greater choice in their 447 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: health care, and protect pre existing conditions. And I thank 448 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: you for that word. I want to call up. I 449 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: was job before being majority Whip. I never had to 450 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: go through a bill like this, and I will tell 451 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: you to be in the whip. Really isn't one person. 452 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: The Deputy Whip should get a lot of credit as well, 453 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: Patrick mckendren, But Whip Steve Steve Scalise never gave up, 454 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: answered every question, and the team between Scalise and McHenry 455 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I put beyond any team we've ever had. I give 456 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: you the majority, Whip Steve Scalize. Yeah, today we took 457 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: the first step towards rescuing families from the failures of Obamacare. 458 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: We've been seeing a play out all across the country. 459 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: This isn't some hypothetical discussion. You see families struggling in 460 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: every part of our country. I'm from families all the 461 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: time in my district in Southeast Louisiana sharing with me 462 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: stories of double digit premium increases every single year. When 463 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: we had the twenty seven and a half hour mark 464 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: up before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, longest they 465 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: said in the history of Congress to pass this bill 466 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: out of committee, we had a long and important discussion 467 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: about health care policy in America and how this isn't 468 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: about achieving some kind of political goal. It's about families, 469 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: families who are struggling under the weight of this law 470 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: that doesn't work. And so I reached out to my 471 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: own constituents and I said, share with me some of 472 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: the stories and how this law, Obamacare, is affecting you personally. 473 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: And unfortunately I got a lot of horror stories. You know, 474 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about protecting people with pre existing 475 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: conditions in the context of this bill, and there are 476 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: so many things, multiple multiple layers in our bill that 477 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: we passed today that not only protect people with pre 478 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: existing conditions, but actually focus real targeted money on lowering 479 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: premiums for families with pre existing conditions. And so during 480 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: the committee hearing might have been around three in the morning, 481 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: I shared a story of one of those ditchents, Chris 482 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: from Sliddale, who sent me a letter and talked about 483 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: their family having pre existing conditions. They have a family 484 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 1: member with pre existing conditions and how because of the 485 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: problems of Obamacare, they're paying double digit increases. But this 486 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: is the real story for families that have pre existing 487 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: conditions that are truly being hurt by Obamacare. One of 488 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: the untold stories are the dramatic increases and deductibles. So 489 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: there are a lot of families across the country that 490 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: over ten thousand dollar deductibles. Now, for most people, that 491 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: means they really can't even use the healthcare that they 492 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: have an Obamacare. And so what Chris told me was, 493 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: not only when we go to the doctor do we 494 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: have to pay so much for our premium, but almost 495 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: everything we do we're paying out a pocket because we've 496 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: got such a large deductible. So basically, I'm paying a 497 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: lot of money for healthcare. Planet doesn't work for me. 498 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: Please provide relief for my family. We hear these stories 499 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: over and over. And what's been so encouraging about this 500 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: debate is that from the very beginning, every member of 501 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: Congress that's been involved and trying to get this bill 502 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: past has been focused on two main things. And the 503 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: first one is lowering premiums for families that are struggling, 504 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: and the second is making sure that patients and doctors 505 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: are the ones that make their own healthcare decisions. Unelected 506 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: bureaucrats in Washington should not have anything to do with 507 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: the healthcare decisions made between a patient and their doctor, 508 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 1: and that ends with this bill. And so as we 509 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: went through this process, and it took weeks. Some people 510 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: wanted it to take a couple of days, but we said, 511 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna take the time to get it right because 512 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: it affects every person in this country, and every change 513 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: that was made along the way made this bill better. 514 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: Almost every change that was made along the way was 515 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: focused on lowering premiums. Of course, you had a lot 516 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: of other things we wanted to do. We reformed the 517 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: Medicaid program, one of the most broken parts of healthcare 518 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: anybody will tell you as Medicaid. And so we actually 519 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: give governors and states the flexibility to go and be 520 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: innovative and do things that will in a much more 521 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: targeted way help low income families in a way that 522 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: Medicare is failing them today. That's another important aspect of 523 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: this bill. But we wouldn't be here today without the 524 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: work and the help of the President and the Vice 525 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: President United States directly getting involved. Because every meeting we 526 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: had with members that wanted to get additional, additional components 527 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: added to the bill, President Trump said, bring him into 528 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: the White House. I want to meet with him. I 529 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: want to talk to him about how we can actually 530 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: lower premiums. Because President Trump's focused from the beginning was 531 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. He knows Obamacare fails, but it's failing 532 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: because it's hurting families. And he said, how can we 533 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: lower premiums? How can we give patients more control of 534 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: the healthcare? And ultimately all of the meetings that we 535 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: had along the way that made this bill better. We're 536 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: focused on those objectives, and that's why it's so important 537 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: that we got this first step done today. There's a 538 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: lot of work left to be done, and I look 539 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: forward to the Senate taking the action that they need 540 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: to take, but ultimately getting a bill to President Trump's 541 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: desk that he'll sign that actually rescue families for this 542 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: incredibly failed law and put patients back in charge of 543 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: their healthcare decisions and lower premiums. And the man that 544 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: led to charge in starting this process in the committee 545 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: was the House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden. 546 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: Want to bring him up famous place, Uh, ladies and gentleman, 547 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: missed president. Mr all right, welcome back to Sean Hannity Show, 548 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: where staying with US press conferences is at the White House. 549 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: The Republicans have in fact now repealed and begun the 550 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: process of fully repealing Obamacare. A new healthcare bill has 551 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: been passed. Next stop is the Senate. I'll explain all 552 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: the ins and outs and details in just a second. Well, 553 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I think, we'll just stay with it here. 554 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: If if the Freedom Caucus is called up, we want 555 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: to get them up, because, as I was explaining before, 556 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: it wouldn't have happened without them. And how do I 557 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: know because I talked to them every day. I talked 558 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: to people in the White House throughout this process, and 559 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: I know how difficult it was. And you know what 560 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: I was saying before the break, and it's a little 561 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: frustrating for me, is that you know, yes, I think 562 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: that the Vice President had this is the beginning of 563 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: the end of the government takeover of Obamacare. This is 564 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: the beginning of the end. And the President went out 565 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: there and explained he was actually the only group he 566 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: didn't mention was the group that I make up, which 567 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: is the Saturday night drinking group. But there is a 568 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: there are coalitions within the Republican Party, and we learned 569 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: that moderates had no intention of doing what they said 570 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: they were going to do, which is repeated and replace Obamacare. 571 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: That presented a huge challenge to the conservatives are more 572 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: conservative members like Tuesday Group members and the most conservative 573 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: and I think the best, the best group in Congress, 574 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: which is the Freedom Caucus. But with that said, you know, 575 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: to begin the process and to allow free market competition, 576 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, how do you argue in nine to ninety 577 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: counties in Iowa no longer have a single option? You know, 578 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: you can allow the death spiral of Obamacare to continue, 579 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: or you've got to stop it. And I think there 580 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: was some perspective that was put into all of this 581 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: by the President when we rightly pointed out, Okay, it 582 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: took seventeen months for Obamacare to get done and then 583 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: Hillary couldn't get it done. And in reality, this is 584 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: like an eight week deal or a ten week deal 585 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: by the Republicans, so under very difficult circumstances. And Paul 586 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: Ryan rightly saying it's the first step in the process, 587 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: and there are real parliamentary things. I know, nobody wants 588 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: to hear it. I don't want to hear it, but 589 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: it is a reality of what they had to deal 590 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: with because of how it was passed in budgetary rules, 591 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: and there are parliamentary procedures and hurdles that that exists 592 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,959 Speaker 1: in the Senate that they had to factor into how 593 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: they structured this bill. All true, we didn't need the 594 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: three step process. As we learned, they never consulted the 595 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: Senate Parliamentary in but you know that was it. But 596 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: I want you to understand here, this is a huge 597 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: win for the president because the President never stopped never, 598 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: and every time I talked to anybody around him or 599 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: in the White House, every time, I gotta get this stuff, 600 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: gotta get this stuf, gotta get the urgency. And the 601 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: push came from Pennsylvania Avenue. The death spiral of Obamacare 602 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: had to be stopped. And the bill that passed the 603 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: House is not perfect. The reason why is that you 604 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: have these these moderate Republicans who didn't want to repeal 605 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,479 Speaker 1: and replace completely. That's the reality of Washington. We should 606 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: identify them, maybe before and maybe we primary them. But 607 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 1: with that said, you know what is being put forward 608 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: and what they were able to get done mostly because 609 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: of conservative members. And I'm speaking as a matter of 610 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: fact from behind the scenes knowledge that I have personally 611 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: and what has put forward is so much better than 612 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: the death spiral we were in now and the final 613 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: waiver I was watching somebody on TV. I don't know 614 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: who blaming the Freedom Caucus. Oh, the waivers, isn't The 615 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: waivers is a huge win because the waivers allow the 616 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: states to opt out the labors. The waivers now allow 617 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: for everything that that every decision by any conservative or 618 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: the Republican Party ought to be based on, which is 619 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: pre market competition. Democrats have been out to sabotage, destroy 620 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: and in spite of the public proclamations, they are not 621 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: happy this happened today. The signature achievement that they claimed 622 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 1: a Barack Obama and how many times did I say 623 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: this after the president was elected? It's going to be soon, 624 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: and today is was one of the biggest steps. It's like, 625 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: between wiping out all of the Obama executive orders, wiping 626 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: out Obama era regulations, now getting rid of Obamacare as 627 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: we know it, it's almost like Obama's eight years didn't exist. 628 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: He just you know. The only thing we're left with 629 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: is the damage, the doubling of the national debt, the 630 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: transition out of Obamacare into pre market competition and health 631 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: savings accounts and cooperatives, which we'll talk about these these 632 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: new options that now exist according to this bill that 633 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: this bill now allows, and we can we can duplicate 634 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 1: some of these great models and medical healthcare savings accounts 635 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: and cooperatives that exists. You know, but if if you 636 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: look at the insanity, it's important to know that you know, 637 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: the Republicans and I actually believe the President when he 638 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: says this finally came together, finally built consensus. They finally 639 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,320 Speaker 1: show that they can actually get something done and lead. 640 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: It's that they are willing to now take the risk 641 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: of owning something. And Democrats, you know, all they did 642 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: all day and all throughout this processes go down deep 643 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: into the utter and all they have not they're not 644 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: willing to accept that everything they said to you in 645 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: the passing and lead up to Obamacare turned out to 646 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: be a lie. Let's go back down memory lane. Let's 647 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: just take a listen what they promised and keep in 648 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,879 Speaker 1: mind this Obamacare premiums on average nationwide went up five 649 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: thousand four ars, not including the on average increase this year, 650 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: which means it's over six thousand dollars. When they promised 651 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: you'd keep your doctor, millions lost them, keep your plan, 652 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: Millions lost their plans and save on average per family 653 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: a year. No, this year alone, Arizona has a hundred 654 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 1: increase in premiums and that was going to be the norm. 655 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: This is a huge, huge, unprecedented failure that was averted 656 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: to a not perfect but it was a disaster in 657 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: the making, as evidenced by Iowa and Arizona and so 658 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: many other states. But this is what they promised you 659 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: will you hear about the Affordable Care Act Obamacare, and 660 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't mind the name, because I really do care 661 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: a system where we're gonna work with your employers to 662 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: lower your premiums by up to per family per year 663 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: added all up. And the plan I'm proposing will cost 664 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: around nine billion dollars over ten years. We will start 665 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: by reducing premiums by as much as per family. There 666 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: are also those who claim that our reform efforts would 667 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: ensure illegal immigrants. This too, is false. Here's what changes 668 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: saying to people who already had health insurance and the 669 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: employees who are providing it. And all of those two 670 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: hundred seventeen members came from different districts that represented a 671 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: different kind of people. And it's a good day because 672 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: of the number one, a president who wouldn't give up 673 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: a president who got engaged a president who said, you know, 674 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: I don't care what the mainstream media is saying. We're 675 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: gonna get this done and we're gonna make it better 676 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 1: for the American people. And Mr President and Mr Vice 677 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: President for those late night calls. I'm glad that I'll 678 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: get some rest, but I want to thank you on 679 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,959 Speaker 1: behalf of the most critical number, and that's the three 680 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: eighteen million Americans who now once again we'll be able 681 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: to get affordable health care, to allow those decisions to 682 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: be made between them and their doctor, and once again 683 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: make sure that they don't have to go begging and 684 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: figuring out how to pay for their health care premium 685 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: instead of their mortgage. So, Mr President, it's a great 686 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: day for America. It's a great day for this administration, 687 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: but it's a truly great day for the American people. 688 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:11,240 Speaker 1: God blessed. And I have the honor of introducing someone 689 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: that I didn't know real well before this all happened, 690 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 1: and I used the term gentleman in the most appropriate way. 691 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: The gentleman from New Jersey, my good friend Tom MacArthur. Uh. Look, 692 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,399 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you behind the scenes, I'm giving you 693 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: everything that I know and the insight that I have 694 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 1: is that without Mark Meadows, I don't see this happening. 695 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: And by the way, there was some great people in 696 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: the White House that worked with him every step of 697 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: the way, and they deserve credit too. So that's just 698 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: the fact, all right. So you get the idea you 699 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: were promised propell to keep your doctor, keep your pants. 700 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: It's all a lie. It was all predicated on a lie, 701 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: all predicated on broken promises. You know, look look at 702 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: for example, headlines for this week alone ETNA to exit 703 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 1: Obamacare and Virginia citing two million dollars in losses. Iowa 704 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: maybe without individual health plans. If the insurer pulls out, 705 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: that was this week alone, there was gonna be no 706 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: insurance option for anybody in Iowa. You know, this is 707 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: the death spiral lie of Obamacare. It's why the entire 708 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: foundation of Obamacare was built, predicated on a foundation of 709 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 1: lies that was repeated by every one of these Democrats. 710 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: Oh this is there's no Republicans. They're in trouble now, 711 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: and well, the country was in trouble if we kept this, 712 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: probably they did Democrats a favor, but they didn't have 713 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: any option to clean up the mess of all of 714 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: these people. You know, since Obama became present, skyrockets, you know, 715 00:42:53,680 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: premiums up, you know, overt up thirty this year alone, Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Oklahoma, 716 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: South Carolina, Wyoming. People buying on exchanges have only a 717 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: single insure to choose from. It is almost one third 718 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: of all US counties only have one option one in 719 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: America today, which is why, in spite of how difficult, 720 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: in spite of its imperfections, it is a massive wind 721 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: and a lot of leadership. As Mark Meadow said, the 722 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: President was involved. And I know this as a fact. 723 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: I know so many people he called on a nightly basis, 724 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: working the phones, just like he worked the phones with 725 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: all these companies, Uh as well. Anyway, I'm looking for 726 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: my head here to get it done and say please stay, 727 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: don't bring your don't don't build factories in Mexico, keep 728 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 1: them here, all right. We're gonna full complete analysis. Uh. 729 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 1: Christie Ford chap It is going to join as a professor, 730 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: and Josh umber is gonna join us. We're gonna talk 731 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: about the new bill and the disaster known as Obamacare 732 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: now gone and a huge win for the president and 733 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: a beginning of a process to really fix the spiraling, 734 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: the death spiral of Obamacare, and leadership at a monumental level, frankly, 735 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: at a speed that is almost unprecedented for a Congress, 736 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: especially on a bill like this. And as the President said, 737 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: now I can do my my Now I can do 738 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: my economic plan. Now I can do this.

As I look, I'm giving you the behind 789 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: the scenes insider's view because I have a day is 790 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 1: not gone by, not one well. I didn't talk to 791 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 1: the people that were most active and involved, and I'm 792 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: not mentioned in a whole bunch of names. I look, 793 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 1: I will say Mark Meadows, as one of them in 794 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,759 Speaker 1: getting this bill across the finish line. You know, think 795 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: about the consequences if we did in ninety four and 796 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: the ninety nine counties in Iowa no no choice. In 797 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 1: other way, there was no plan available for him. You know, 798 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 1: you think about every every promise that the American people 799 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: were sold by every Democrat turned out to be one 800 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: big lie by the party. And you know, if you 801 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: look at the headline at an exiting Obamacare Virginia, because 802 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: they're losing money, just like Obamacare, and just like the President, 803 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,840 Speaker 1: I think it was of that said this is a 804 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 1: death spiral and every insure now pulling out by most 805 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 1: of them pulling out or reducing their risk. And it's 806 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: the first step in the process. It's the beginning of 807 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: the end of this government takeover of healthcare. And now 808 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell has has spoken up. Congratulator. I want to 809 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: congratulate my colleague and the House of Representatives, you know, 810 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,800 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. None of that stuff 811 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: means a thing to me. But you know, we'll see. 812 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 1: I know that that Senator Rampaul was not happy with 813 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 1: this because it's not a full repair and full repeal. 814 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,320 Speaker 1: But you know bill which he said he wanted, that 815 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: wasn't a full repeal either, a little better but and 816 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: there are parliamentary obstacles. Nobody wants to hear this, but 817 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 1: you have to understand reality and facts as they exist 818 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: on the ground. And there were parliamentary obstacles, reconciliation, cloture, 819 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 1: scoring as it relates to cbo Bird rule, all this, 820 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 1: they all mean something to them in the rules of 821 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 1: the Senate. Now, with that said, it's just time for 822 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: the Republicans to just do what they need to do 823 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: and just have you win the Senate. You get a 824 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: fifty one vote majority. The Democrats starting in decided to 825 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: get rid of all civility in the U. S. Senate. Now, 826 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 1: the President did say today that he is confident that 827 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,359 Speaker 1: the Senate will in fact pass health care Ability, will 828 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 1: go to conference, and I assume that it will be 829 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,439 Speaker 1: past eventually signing the law by the President. Anyway, here 830 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 1: to go over what this means. What options now become available, 831 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: free market options, buying across state lines, portability, job to job, 832 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: health care savings accounts, healthcare cooperatives. And I think I've 833 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 1: become the biggest champion of them after. I don't even 834 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 1: know how I got to know. Poor Dr josh Umberg 835 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: probably hates me now Atlas m D. And we have 836 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,800 Speaker 1: Professor Christie Ford Chape and also with us to discuss 837 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: all of this. UM. I agree with the Vice President, 838 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: this is not everything we want. This is a real 839 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: This is the beginning of the end of a government 840 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 1: takeover of healthcare, and the American people have suffered enough. 841 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,359 Speaker 1: It has ravaged Americans to the two and of over 842 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars on average, increases which we were told 843 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 1: we'd save a year, fewer options, millions losing their doctors 844 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 1: and plans. What are your initial thoughts of where we are? Well, um, 845 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: you know again, thanks for having me on as always. UM. 846 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 1: I think it's uh, it's the right step. I think 847 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: we're still trying to figure out what all is in 848 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: the bill, but we know we want to move forward. 849 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: I think that everyone can agree what we had wasn't working, 850 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 1: and you you laid that out very nicely just a 851 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: moment ago. So we do need to move forward. And 852 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 1: the reality is, just like you said, is we can't 853 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,839 Speaker 1: do everything we want. UM. We won't get everything we want, 854 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 1: but we can't let perfect stand in the way of 855 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: better and I think this opens the door to getting 856 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: us to better. Yeah. Look, if there's one thing that 857 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 1: saddens me in the process is my full understanding that 858 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 1: there are moderate Republicans that are are just absolutely you know, 859 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 1: they're almost as bad as the Democrats. They acted one way, 860 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,240 Speaker 1: and every time there was a show vote to repeal 861 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 1: replace Obama, I were there all sixty times. And unfortunately, 862 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: the real conservatives that really meant what they said. You know, 863 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 1: they actually had to put together the coalition on behalf 864 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,440 Speaker 1: of the leadership, which I thought was lacking urgency, and 865 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, they got it done. But you know, the 866 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 1: wrong people in my view, are getting credit for it. 867 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: But that's a side note. Christie, what's your take? Uh, Well, 868 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,360 Speaker 1: my take is that unfortunately this politically is playing because 869 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 1: of it being rolled out in steps. This is just 870 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: playing as if the big takeaways people are having their 871 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 1: benefits taken away, and you know, you've been pushing for 872 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: a while, but that's not true. I mean, it's it's 873 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 1: just oh, you mean the Obamacare is taken away. Yeah, 874 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 1: Obamacare has been taking away people right. Well, what I'm 875 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,720 Speaker 1: saying is the way this is playing in the media 876 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 1: is that, UM, people are concerned about, you know, people 877 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: with pre existing conditions and such, and so that's that's 878 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 1: that was the last holdout vote. That was to protect 879 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 1: people of pre existing conditions, which by the way, I 880 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: think most Americans understand and support that they would be 881 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 1: able to get insurance. Exactly. There's concerned that the funding 882 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,720 Speaker 1: for the state pulls isn't enough. And so it brings 883 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 1: me to the point that I want to make is 884 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,799 Speaker 1: you've you've really been pushing the idea that we need 885 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 1: to structurally change the system or Medicare and Medicaid are 886 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: going to you know, eventually bankrupt the federal government and 887 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 1: state and state governments. And so you know, that's the 888 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,959 Speaker 1: difficulty here is, you know, if this is playing as 889 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, some people are going to lose from losing 890 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 1: from losing benefits, UM and and it's hard to say. 891 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,479 Speaker 1: Hopefully it'll bring down some cosses the Republicans are saying, 892 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 1: but without any kind of structural change. UM going to 893 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 1: some of the things you've you've talked about, you know, 894 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: I've I've told I've been on this program before to 895 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: speak about the fact that healthcare pre a c A 896 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,320 Speaker 1: was not based on free markets um, but on this 897 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: very specific insurance company model that that the A m 898 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,600 Speaker 1: A leaders designed back in the nineteen thirties when physicians 899 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: were trying to do the very thing that Dr Umber 900 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 1: is doing out in Kansas. And that's the kind of 901 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: plan that brings down costs. Well, the big change for 902 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus. And and they're the guys I rely 903 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: on the most as as being the most conservative, and 904 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:33,439 Speaker 1: and they were. Remember they stopped this bill, and they 905 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: made this bill better than what it otherwise would have been, 906 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 1: and their main focus. And I remember the Saturday discussion 907 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: after the Friday vote was taken back with Mark Meadows. 908 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 1: I said, Okay, what what are your goals here? We've 909 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 1: got a hundred Republicans that are moderates that frankly you know, 910 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 1: discussed me, but I didn't. I won't reveal everything. I 911 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: said to him, So what what are the goals and 912 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,880 Speaker 1: how do you get this across the finish line in 913 00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 1: a way that you know, again, counties and I will 914 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: don't have any options as of next year, none, zero zip. 915 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 1: So it's not like they could have just not done this. 916 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,360 Speaker 1: So and he said, I got my main goals to 917 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 1: get premiums down, competition up, free market incentives in place. 918 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: And after I spent a lot of time of him 919 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 1: explaining this build to me and him being on the 920 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,760 Speaker 1: program this week, he convinced me and Jim Jordan convinced 921 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,880 Speaker 1: me that they're they're that this is all existing. And 922 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: when you add to this the the flexibility, if you will, 923 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 1: or the built in authority which is pretty broad under 924 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 1: under the current law, where the Health and Human Service 925 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 1: as Secretary gets to make significant changes himself. For example, 926 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 1: he will defund Obamacare himself. I'm sorry planned parenthood himself. 927 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 1: He will, he will personally. He has the ability to 928 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 1: do that. I just wish it was more permanent and 929 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,360 Speaker 1: over time, I'm hoping we get there. But dr Umberg explained, 930 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: how you think this is in that way? Good? Well again, 931 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:03,320 Speaker 1: we need to move to something um again, abundance mindset. 932 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 1: What is a solution that's better than either party has 933 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 1: come up with before as opposed to stay in old rhetoric, 934 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 1: and that we want more care for more people, more often, 935 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 1: and we need it more affordably. That's what the free market, 936 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,240 Speaker 1: that's what the direct Primary care ATLAS in D model 937 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 1: is doing well. And there's hundreds of doctors across the 938 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: country proving this. And now we just need some support 939 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 1: from the government, which is released the restrictions on the 940 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 1: A c A and insurance rules. Let that go to 941 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 1: state by state and customization and just flexibility. What we 942 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 1: realized is maximal insurance for insurance sake isn't working. It's 943 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: so affordable that people can't afford the care they can, 944 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 1: they can barely afford the insurance. Let's reverse that. Let's 945 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,840 Speaker 1: get to something where health insurance comes down by the 946 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: savings and that helps people buy the outpatient care they need. Now, unmilily, 947 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: there's's no Code Pace nine savings on mad labs other things. 948 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 1: Now health care is affordable and health insurance is affordable. 949 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 1: So you get your health care regardless of any pre 950 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 1: existing condition. You can get your health insurance at a 951 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 1: fraction of the price. This is the collective Uh. Two 952 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: from the Democrats plus two from the Republicans equals six 953 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 1: of the American people. That's what we need to get to. 954 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: We need to get to a solution better than we've 955 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: had before. So based on what they're saying now that 956 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,240 Speaker 1: you're going to have free market competition, across the state lines. 957 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: It's etcetera. That does open up the options so that 958 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 1: that cooperatives like yours, which I mean I look at 959 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,840 Speaker 1: your Cooperative'm like wow, that impresses me because you know, 960 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,279 Speaker 1: the average adult pays fifty, the average child pays ten 961 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,719 Speaker 1: a month, fifty a month in a month unlimited care. 962 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 1: What do you pay for an X ray? Cents if 963 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: I need an X ray in your office? Who are 964 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:54,560 Speaker 1: at forty dollars? But it is about less UM So 965 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: now you don't need insurance for that. Uh, it's become 966 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: so much more affordable. It's a tank of gas and 967 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: stitches and broken bones are all taken care of in 968 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 1: your office. Stitches are free, ninety days of medicine NSA. 969 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 1: It's to the attention we've gotten from you. We've had 970 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 1: recent talks with some of the largest privately held insurance 971 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 1: broker in the country who are now seeing how we 972 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 1: synergize UM and when the insurance companies combined with this, 973 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 1: that means better care for medical better costs, better care 974 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 1: for Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Yeah, and can I 975 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: just make a comment on that point. We didn't invite 976 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 1: you on for comments. Mom, kidding, how are you head, professor? 977 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 1: I think this, and I think this is a plan 978 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 1: that sells politically very well to liberals and progressives. We're 979 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 1: talking about de centering insurance company power and putting medical 980 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: decisions back in the hands of physicians and patients UM 981 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 1: and not having whether it's a government fish or insurance 982 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: company UM telling physicians how they have to treat patients 983 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 1: in order to receive reimbursements. And you know, I've talked 984 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 1: to Dr Number about this. What my reach research has 985 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: shown in my publications is that this is exactly what 986 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: physicians were trying to do at the beginning of the 987 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 1: twentieth century, and it was something to progressives and consumers 988 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 1: and everybody absolutely loved. But it was the am A 989 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: leadership at that time. I don't you know, don't want 990 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 1: to beat up on the A m A now, but 991 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: they did everything they could to shut them down, to 992 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 1: provoke the licenses of physicians who are participating in these plans, UM, 993 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 1: to destroy this part of the market and create this 994 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 1: system that we have today that is ridiculous as far 995 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 1: as cost go. If you see that we are spending 996 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 1: almost one fifth of our economy on healthcare and the 997 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 1: number two countries in the world are so far behind 998 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,640 Speaker 1: us at between twelve and thirteen percent, when we're getting 999 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: close to twenty. Not to mention, you know, fragmented care 1000 00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: and concerns about insurance companies controlling how well not mandating 1001 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 1: what people have to pay. Like, if I'm a young person, 1002 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm healthy, I would join Dr Numbers cooperative unlimited care 1003 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 1: for everything I need. I probably wouldn't even need to, 1004 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, I probably could just walk in the day 1005 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 1: I get sick and say, okay, can I pay you doctor? 1006 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,080 Speaker 1: Would you let me do that? By the way, well, 1007 00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,960 Speaker 1: we have people who enrolled when they're sick, all right, 1008 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 1: so I would. I would walk into your place. You're 1009 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: gonna throw me out because I had I need a 1010 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: z pac.

Um, there 1027 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 1: were real challenges, as I've been pointing out procedurally parliamentary maneuvers, 1028 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 1: which it's just such an arcane pain in the ass 1029 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 1: if if I can just say it, I mean ridiculous anyway, 1030 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 1: But the Conservatives really were the ones that push this 1031 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,560 Speaker 1: over the top in my opinion, for my inside of 1032 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 1: reformation talking to these guys every day, we continue with 1033 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,040 Speaker 1: Professor Christie Ford Chapin, Dr Josh Umber of Atlas m D. 1034 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, Dr Chapin wrote a book on 1035 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 1: healthcare and uh what's it called Ensuring America's Health the 1036 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 1: public creation of corporate healthcare system? Uh So, anyway, I 1037 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,080 Speaker 1: want to just ask you this, what are the odds 1038 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 1: that this can be duplicated? Dr Umber, what you have 1039 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 1: created in Wichita around the By the way, I've ever 1040 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 1: gotten you any businesses anyone called and said I want 1041 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:07,480 Speaker 1: to I want to be on your plan because I 1042 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 1: heard that doll Panity. Sure, you crush our servers. It's 1043 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 1: ridiculous that you've gotten hundreds of doctors, hundreds of patients 1044 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,600 Speaker 1: over the last couple of months talking about direct care. 1045 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 1: But you know what, you know what I like answering 1046 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,760 Speaker 1: phones now because it's blue collar concierge. This is what 1047 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: rich people get. This is what you're offering, concierge service 1048 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 1: for the for the hard working men and women in 1049 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 1: this country. That's there's no other way to put it. Absolutely, 1050 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 1: and you agree, Dr Christie, I'm sorry, professor, right, that's fine. Absolutely. Uh. 1051 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: The great thing about uh these cooperative plans is they 1052 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 1: put the right incentives into place. We know that incentives matter, 1053 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 1: and it's the doctors who have the requisite expertise to 1054 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 1: do to think about when a patient needs care or not. 1055 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Under the current model, we have a lot of problems 1056 01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 1: with doctors overutilizing services for the insured. Offer in too 1057 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 1: many um in a way, they're they're over controlled by 1058 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,440 Speaker 1: insurers on one hand, and on the other hand, there 1059 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 1: incentivized wish I had more time. We're going to continue 1060 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 1: this discussion, but also how planned parenthood gets defunded. Next 1061 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:16,800 Speaker 1: reproductive care including birth control and free and postnatal care 1062 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 1: and cancer screenings. That's why we have to defend planned parenthood. 1063 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 1: We don't have prenato care here. Plant Parents offers abortions, 1064 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 1: so they don't offer prenatal care. Okay, just abortions. Yeah. 1065 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 1: Planted Parenthood has been around for a long time. They 1066 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:37,720 Speaker 1: provide all kinds of of prenatal and health care screening 1067 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 1: for women. Now, we don't do prenatal services. I mean 1068 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 1: it's called planed parent and I know it's kind of deceiving. 1069 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: Planned parenthood is often the only option for women to 1070 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 1: get their annual check up. It provides breast exams, contraception, 1071 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:55,360 Speaker 1: prenatal care. We don't offer prenatal care at Plant Parenthood. 1072 01:02:55,480 --> 01:03:01,520 Speaker 1: We specialize in abortions. Prenatal services go on. We actually 1073 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: don't offer a prenatal service pe enough license to do 1074 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 1: so in Origin or Washington. It was just asking what 1075 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,959 Speaker 1: kind of services you offer for pregnant women, pregnant women, 1076 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: pregnant women who want to continue with the pregnancy. Yes, um, 1077 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 1: we don't. Our first service, planned Parenthood is about providing 1078 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 1: federal funds for care like mammograms and service called cancer 1079 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,080 Speaker 1: screenings and prenatal care. I was hoping that I could 1080 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: come into Planned parent and for a mammogram. Do you 1081 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 1: guys provide mammograms? Um, we do not provide nammogram? Do 1082 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 1: you have O B du N s here? We do 1083 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 1: not know. Oh, you don't know? Okay, which is the 1084 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 1: deceptive name? Right? I think they or you know if 1085 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 1: you were looking determination actions, we can do that as well. 1086 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 1: It's an attack on every preventive health service, every safety net, 1087 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 1: everything that you care about, whether it's early childhood education, 1088 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: whether it's pap smears, whether it's mammograms, whether it's prenatal 1089 01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 1: care when you're pregnant. No plan parent had does prenatal care, Oh, 1090 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: none of them. That leaves hundreds of thousands of expectant 1091 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:09,640 Speaker 1: mothers without access to essential prenatal care and treatment. And 1092 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 1: that is where planned parenthood comes in. What pregnancy services 1093 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,920 Speaker 1: do you offer? We only offer a termination services. Do 1094 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 1: you define access to referrals to other hospitals and specialists, 1095 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: and you deny prenatal care. No, see, we don't see 1096 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 1: pregnant women as a way of giving prenatal care. We 1097 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,440 Speaker 1: see pregnant women. Um, you know that they are considering 1098 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,840 Speaker 1: other options, like what other options? Like would you see 1099 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: the doctor for at this location? Yes? Um, so at 1100 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,880 Speaker 1: this location, you guys do. These services that we provide 1101 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: through the federal programs are family planning, cancer screenings, prenatal care. So, 1102 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,400 Speaker 1: if you're choosing to terminate the pregnancy, we can make 1103 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 1: an appointment at this office. But if you're not terminating 1104 01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,760 Speaker 1: the pregnancy, if you're going to continue their pregnancy, then 1105 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,920 Speaker 1: we would refer you out. So I really don't need 1106 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 1: to see us here alright twenty four now until the 1107 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 1: top of the shawn. You want to be a part 1108 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 1: of the program. Now, you know, one of the things 1109 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 1: with this historic final you know, first big, huge step 1110 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:19,840 Speaker 1: which is so necessary as it relates to Obamacare and 1111 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 1: ultimately repealing replacement competition, pre market competition. One of the 1112 01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:28,000 Speaker 1: big issues involving this is defunding planned parenthood. Now you 1113 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 1: just heard that planned parenthood right there, that oh, we 1114 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 1: don't offer prenatal services. No, we only offer abortion services. 1115 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 1: We only do that. We only do that. And I'm like, oh, 1116 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: but that's not what they say. Anyway. There is a 1117 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 1: group that has been active and involved in this for 1118 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 1: a long time, Live Action. Lila Rose is with us. 1119 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 1: She is the head of the Live Action group. And 1120 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 1: from what we're hearing is number one Planned parenthoods two 1121 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 1: thousand five six annual report to its most recent one 1122 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 1: and five team show. The numbers of breast exams, which 1123 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:08,240 Speaker 1: they claim they do is down. PAP tests are down 1124 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 1: seventy seven percent, total cancer screening's down sixty and over 1125 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: the same period, forced taxpayer funding has more than doubled 1126 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 1: from five and fifty three million a year, and abortions 1127 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 1: are up. This is what this is. That sounds to 1128 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,440 Speaker 1: me like abortion inc anyway, and then you hear the 1129 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 1: very opposite of the talking points that liberal Democrats and 1130 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 1: Planned parent whood spews all the time. I was watching 1131 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,640 Speaker 1: on the circus the head of Planned Parenthood what's her name, 1132 01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,919 Speaker 1: Ceil Richards I think is her name on Yeah, he's 1133 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 1: out there. Oh and it's about women's health. Oh and 1134 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 1: it's about well these statistics prove otherwise from Live Action 1135 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 1: and Lila Roses with us and from what I understand 1136 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:57,240 Speaker 1: the healthcare law and of course the ability of the 1137 01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:01,080 Speaker 1: Health and Human Services Secretary, through the discretionary powers that 1138 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 1: they have, is not going to fund Planned Parenthood, and 1139 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,640 Speaker 1: the promise is going to be fulfilled. What have you've 1140 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 1: heard today is the big day, I mean, Sean, they're 1141 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: going to be they're going to be voting on the 1142 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 1: bill that would be done through reconciliation process, so that 1143 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: means that they can pass that filibuster in the Senate 1144 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,080 Speaker 1: that where they're trying to stop the defunding Plan Parent 1145 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,880 Speaker 1: with everything they've got. Pretty much every senator whose Democrat 1146 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,200 Speaker 1: has received campaign contributions from Plan Parent. So of course 1147 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 1: they're very beholden, they're very pro abortion. They're going to 1148 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 1: do everything they can to stop it. But the good 1149 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 1: news is this process with care and with defunding Plan 1150 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 1: Parent is being done through the reconciliation process to override 1151 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 1: that filibuster, and that vote is going to come down 1152 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,959 Speaker 1: here any really any hour now. This has been anticipated, 1153 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 1: This has been anticipated for pretty much ten years by 1154 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 1: the pro life movement, which we have been educating and 1155 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 1: getting information in front of people showing that Planned Parenthood 1156 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 1: is not about healthcare. They claim it, they lie about 1157 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 1: it their friends like ut or Diane Feinstein, and you 1158 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 1: know Hillary Clinton was out there lying about it, saying 1159 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 1: we need them for women's health care, fearmongering. But the 1160 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 1: reality is, like you just said, Shahn, their health care services, 1161 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,720 Speaker 1: breast cancer screenings, half tests have gone down over sixty 1162 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,679 Speaker 1: in the last ten years. Abortions are up, tax care 1163 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 1: funding is up, and they remain the biggest abortion chain 1164 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,759 Speaker 1: in the country. And that's why this vote is happening. 1165 01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 1: That's why people are excited about this, and it is 1166 01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,679 Speaker 1: a long time coming and is so we're so glad 1167 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,680 Speaker 1: that this stay. And you've been assured that all of 1168 01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 1: this has handled as long as Planned Parenthood does. In fact, 1169 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,639 Speaker 1: uh is would you refer to them as abortion inc? 1170 01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,759 Speaker 1: Isn't it mostly an abortion business? Based on the dollars 1171 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,120 Speaker 1: and the procedures, how many abortions a year and how 1172 01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:50,479 Speaker 1: much federally are they now getting Planned parent And they're 1173 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: doing three hundred over three hundred and twenty thousand abortions 1174 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: a year, So that's eight hundred and eighty seven children 1175 01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 1: killed at parent of facilities every day. That's one child 1176 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 1: every ninety seven seconds at a Planned Parenthood, and they're 1177 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: receiving every day one point five million dollars. Repeat that again, 1178 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:14,679 Speaker 1: one child every seven one one child every nineties seven seconds. 1179 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,679 Speaker 1: Every minute and a half, another child's life is snuffed 1180 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 1: out of the Planned Parenthood. They remain the biggest abortion chain. 1181 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,000 Speaker 1: In fact, sen their abortion numbers are have been going 1182 01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 1: up to each year, even as the cancers trainings decline, 1183 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 1: as a number of patients decline, as they have no 1184 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 1: natal services, no prenatal care services, virtually none. They have 1185 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,760 Speaker 1: no mammogram services, they've never had any, and yet their 1186 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 1: abortion numbers are growing up. You know, President Trump, he 1187 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: even said that if Planned Parenthood would stop doing abortions, 1188 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 1: this wouldn't even be an issue. And you know, Planned 1189 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,640 Speaker 1: parent has been claiming only three percent of what we 1190 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,320 Speaker 1: do is abortions. That's what they say to try to 1191 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 1: cover up that they are the biggest abortion chain and 1192 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,120 Speaker 1: actually abortion dwarfs all their other services when it comes 1193 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,640 Speaker 1: to the market share of what they do. But what 1194 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 1: did they say to President Trump. They said, no way, 1195 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,599 Speaker 1: They said they were insulted by his offer, and they 1196 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,000 Speaker 1: clung to their abortion because that's the heart of the 1197 01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:10,599 Speaker 1: at the heart of what they do. At the end 1198 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,840 Speaker 1: of the day, they are an abortion corporation and they 1199 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:18,240 Speaker 1: are lobbyists for the most extreme pro abortion laws, abortion 1200 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:22,080 Speaker 1: through all nine months, abortion, sex selection, killing girls instead 1201 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 1: of boys, abortion paid by the taxpayer directly. I mean, 1202 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 1: they are in line with North Korea and China for 1203 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 1: the most in Canada for the most extreme abortion laws 1204 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 1: that they want on the books to protect their interests. 1205 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 1: And that's why, of course even Democrats have voted to 1206 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,799 Speaker 1: defund them in the past, try to get them defunded 1207 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,439 Speaker 1: at the federal level. And we're going to see that 1208 01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,640 Speaker 1: legislation hit today. So the movement is really you know, 1209 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,840 Speaker 1: excited about this. We need to see it down though. 1210 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: It needs to go through the House and then it 1211 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: needs to go through the Senate. Yeah. Well, with the 1212 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,280 Speaker 1: passage of this repeal replaced bill and options and waivers 1213 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,560 Speaker 1: for the city, uh, I'm sorry for the States, and 1214 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 1: and then of course the Health and Human Services Secretary 1215 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,840 Speaker 1: pledge to defund Planned parenthood and all of the other 1216 01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,480 Speaker 1: things associated with it. There are a lot of conservatives 1217 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,000 Speaker 1: that were angry, Lila that it wasn't done During the 1218 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 1: continuing Resolution. But we were private, we were promised privately. 1219 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:15,840 Speaker 1: I know I was by many people. That's handled well, 1220 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 1: you told the same thing, we were told the same thing. 1221 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,360 Speaker 1: You know. It has been really frustrating, Sean, because it's 1222 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,160 Speaker 1: been a hundred plus days now of the Trump presidency, 1223 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 1: as we all know, and every single one of those days, 1224 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 1: every single one, eight hundred and eighty seven children died 1225 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,680 Speaker 1: at the hands of Plan Parent had pre born in 1226 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,120 Speaker 1: the womb, some of them twenty four weeks in utero, 1227 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: old enough to survive outside the womb. And every single 1228 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: day of those a hundred first days of the presidency, 1229 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 1: one point five million dollars was handed over a check 1230 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 1: from taxpayers to Plan Parented. So every day is precious, 1231 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,439 Speaker 1: lives are depending on it. Money is flowing. So we're 1232 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,600 Speaker 1: really excited that today looks to be the day and 1233 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,479 Speaker 1: we were made those promises like you just described. You know, 1234 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 1: they passed that build Continuing Resolution that did include an 1235 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 1: airmark that could go to Plan Parent under titled ten. 1236 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: So today this process using reconciliation to defund has been 1237 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 1: what we've been promised. It can be done with the repair, repealing, 1238 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 1: and replacing of the health care law, and that's why 1239 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,120 Speaker 1: all the her Life movement is saying, Okay, we're gonna 1240 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,080 Speaker 1: see this happen. But keep in mind, when this passes, 1241 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,360 Speaker 1: it's an eight percent defunding of Plan Parent for one year. 1242 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,759 Speaker 1: It's temporary because it's through reconciliation of the budget process. 1243 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,599 Speaker 1: So this issue is hot. It needs to remain hot 1244 01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 1: because we're not going to rest until Planned Parent as 1245 01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:32,400 Speaker 1: long as they're killing kids, as long as they're lying, 1246 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 1: as long as they're selling baby body parts, covering up 1247 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 1: such child sexual these all of these abuses that have 1248 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 1: been documented for over a dozen years now, they should 1249 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:44,200 Speaker 1: not receive a penny of tax their funds, and they 1250 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 1: should ultimately be prosecuted and shut down, which is another matter. 1251 01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,720 Speaker 1: We're looking forward to see the Department of Justice doing that. 1252 01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we need to jump and see 1253 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,920 Speaker 1: this moment to get the defund to happen for one 1254 01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 1: point for one year. Well, I gotta, I gotta let 1255 01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 1: it go here, But I pre sh had the good 1256 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:03,000 Speaker 1: work you're doing. And yes, this is big news with 1257 01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,519 Speaker 1: the passage of the healthcare bill. I actually think it's 1258 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 1: the best thing that they also voted to make sure 1259 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,240 Speaker 1: for once, they're not exempt from the laws they burden 1260 01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:16,799 Speaker 1: us with. Finally, which is my another huge win. And finally, 1261 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,559 Speaker 1: maybe these guys in the House are waking up and 1262 01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:23,559 Speaker 1: Congress are waking up. Right as we continue told free 1263 01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,920 Speaker 1: telephone numbers eight hundred nine for one seawn. If you 1264 01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:29,160 Speaker 1: want to be a part of this program, all right, 1265 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 1: let's do. Let's say I can't even see my screen? 1266 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,679 Speaker 1: Is it Irene in Atlanta News Talk WSB? What's up, Irene? 1267 01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 1: How are you glad? You called the House passing this 1268 01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 1: healthcare build today? And it's not perfect, as I said, 1269 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:48,799 Speaker 1: but it is a huge start. Well, Michael, is actually 1270 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,640 Speaker 1: about the wall that President Trump wants to build on 1271 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 1: our border with Mexico. And because so many Americans are 1272 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:59,080 Speaker 1: deeply concerned about it getting this done, I wondered if 1273 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,000 Speaker 1: there could be something like a go fund me program 1274 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,559 Speaker 1: set up, an account set up that Americans, any American, 1275 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,720 Speaker 1: anybody could send money to that account and help the 1276 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:14,520 Speaker 1: President keep his promised. You know, that's really very very 1277 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:19,000 Speaker 1: incredibly kind, generous, sweet and patriotic of you. But with 1278 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 1: all due respect, um, the American people pay enough and 1279 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:27,599 Speaker 1: Congress has enough money to get this done. The only 1280 01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,360 Speaker 1: thing they need is the will. And look, they're looking 1281 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,639 Speaker 1: for ways to get the biggest bang of their buck. 1282 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 1: And you know, people asking me, Hannity, do you care 1283 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,040 Speaker 1: if it's concrete, doesn't matter, if it's steel, if it's 1284 01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,160 Speaker 1: American steel, and we can and people can see through it. 1285 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,920 Speaker 1: And there's a levy, And I just wanted to work. 1286 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to do its job. In other words, it's 1287 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 1: got to be strong enough to do its job, impenetrable. 1288 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,439 Speaker 1: And I don't give a flying rip with the stupid wall. 1289 01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,160 Speaker 1: Looks like I don't care, understand that, John, But I 1290 01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 1: wonder if it isn't food for thought to allow the 1291 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 1: Americans to make their own contribution volun I mean and 1292 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 1: and uh and have an opportunity to contribute and make 1293 01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 1: this thing happen. Since the Congress doesn't seem to want 1294 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,120 Speaker 1: to go with the plan, maybe the Americans could put 1295 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:18,160 Speaker 1: the money out there on their own five choice. All right, listen, 1296 01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 1: you're you're everything that's great about this country. Do you 1297 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 1: know that? Because I know you pay your taxes, I 1298 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:25,519 Speaker 1: know you've worked hard your whole life. I know that 1299 01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,720 Speaker 1: you know probably you you would rather spend whatever you 1300 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 1: would plan to donate on something that would benefit you. 1301 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 1: And number two, I mean, I think the next most 1302 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,479 Speaker 1: important thing is they can do the job. We shouldn't 1303 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 1: have to give them more money so that they could 1304 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,839 Speaker 1: do the job that they were hired to do. But 1305 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,680 Speaker 1: but I get where you're coming from. I I do 1306 01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Shannon Portland, Oregon. Hello, how are you? How 1307 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 1: are you? I'm good? What's going on? Well? I know 1308 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:56,719 Speaker 1: the President Trump you mentioned a few times, um, while 1309 01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,280 Speaker 1: he was campaigning about limits, and I kind of think 1310 01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,800 Speaker 1: that we need to revisit that. I feel like the 1311 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 1: Republicans are watching out for their donors instead of the voters, 1312 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:11,719 Speaker 1: and they're voting against stuff because maybe, you know, somebody 1313 01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,400 Speaker 1: in the healthcare industry donated a lot of money for 1314 01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 1: the campaign, and UM, kind of you know, it seems 1315 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 1: like they're backpedaling on everything they've said when they was campaigning. 1316 01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:25,679 Speaker 1: And I just think that term limits would maybe putting 1317 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,679 Speaker 1: there at all. I love term limits because then maybe 1318 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: they'll stop doing what is in their own best interests. 1319 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 1: Maybe they'll go on the you know what, let's serve 1320 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,360 Speaker 1: the American people and not worry about whether or not 1321 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 1: we're going to get reelected because of this controversial stand 1322 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,080 Speaker 1: or that we may be standing on principle and blame 1323 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:44,360 Speaker 1: for a government shutdown. There's so much of that. There's 1324 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:48,360 Speaker 1: so there's way too much on that, and it's beyond 1325 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: any understanding or comprehension I have as a conservative. Go 1326 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,320 Speaker 1: serve your country. You asked for the right to vote 1327 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 1: the on these things. Go do your job. We do 1328 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,839 Speaker 1: our job. Go to yours. All right, quick break news roundup, 1329 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 1: information overload, our Shawn Hannity Show coming up next right here, 1330 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 1: straight ahead, all right, news roundup, information overload, our Shawn 1331 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 1: Hannity Show. Alright. Obama Care as we know it is 1332 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:22,719 Speaker 1: dead and it's gone. And yes, close margin, tough battle, 1333 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 1: not perfect, but certainly better. And that is the big 1334 01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 1: story of the day. After a long battle fight nightmare 1335 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 1: lies told, there is now an opportunity to fix America's dilapidated, 1336 01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,600 Speaker 1: broken down health care system that was nearly destroyed in 1337 01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 1: a death spiral no pun intended because of all of 1338 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,000 Speaker 1: the lies that were told and all the promises that 1339 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:50,120 Speaker 1: were never kept. And this certainly paves the way for 1340 01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,680 Speaker 1: waivers and options, health savings accounts and some of the 1341 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,840 Speaker 1: cooperatives that we have outlined on this program with Dr 1342 01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,400 Speaker 1: Umber and so many others joining us now is Han, 1343 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,800 Speaker 1: host of the ever popular, ever growing Chris Han Show, 1344 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:07,360 Speaker 1: two days a week now on how many stations, how 1345 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 1: many affiliates, three affiliates.

Alright, So 1350 01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 1: and Melissa Francis, who is the Fox News host author 1351 01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,479 Speaker 1: of the By by the Way of Lessons from the Prairie, 1352 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 1: debating the big news of the day. All right, Chris, 1353 01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 1: just you gotta answer some questions here before you give 1354 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 1: me your Chuck Schumer talking points, crocodile tears talking points. Okay, 1355 01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:44,400 Speaker 1: so I need some simple answers. Okay, did Obama promise 1356 01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:48,639 Speaker 1: yes or no, that we're gonna keep our doctors, keep 1357 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,840 Speaker 1: our plans, and the average family is going to save 1358 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,840 Speaker 1: on average dollars per family per year. That's a yes 1359 01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 1: or no question. Okay. Did the Americans, millions of them 1360 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:10,320 Speaker 1: lose their doctors? Did millions of Americans lose their plans. No, yes, yes, yes, 1361 01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,719 Speaker 1: that plans that didn't actually give them coverage. But yes, okay, okay, 1362 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,120 Speaker 1: million millions of Americans. Melissa Francis backed me up. Millions 1363 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,599 Speaker 1: of Americans lost their doctors plans? Right now? Next question, Now, 1364 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 1: did the average Americans see their premiums go up prior 1365 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 1: to this year where it went up another forty percent? 1366 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,840 Speaker 1: But prior to this year, premiums went up for her 1367 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:37,560 Speaker 1: family five thousand, four hundred dollars on average across the country? 1368 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:42,479 Speaker 1: True or false? Mr? Han, True, they are increasing at 1369 01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:48,200 Speaker 1: low rate country. But Melissa, counter factual. I love the counterfactual. 1370 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:53,720 Speaker 1: That's always the best argumentument. Melissa, did did Obama ever 1371 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 1: say I promised to reduce the rate of growth? No, 1372 01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:00,360 Speaker 1: he promised to save per family per year. What happened 1373 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 1: to listen the path let's talk about the future here, 1374 01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: hang on, before we get to before we get to 1375 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,439 Speaker 1: all your scare mongering, I just want to set the table. 1376 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,760 Speaker 1: Is how we got here today, Melissa, So all of 1377 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,559 Speaker 1: what we were sold was a lie. Yeah, and it 1378 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 1: was obviously a lie before we even got there. And 1379 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:21,599 Speaker 1: that's the point. Now, um I personally am I it's 1380 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:25,600 Speaker 1: a little frustrating because unlike the Democratic Party that just basically, 1381 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, they salute and vote, Republican Party is a 1382 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,599 Speaker 1: little bit more of a diverse party. And you've got moderates, 1383 01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 1: and you've got the study group and the Tuesday group, 1384 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,439 Speaker 1: and then you got the Freedom Caucus group, and then 1385 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,599 Speaker 1: you got the Saturday night drinking group, and and every 1386 01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:43,439 Speaker 1: other group there. The American people are ecstatic today. All right, Melissa, 1387 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,800 Speaker 1: you are really great on the economy. Tell us economically, 1388 01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,840 Speaker 1: what the waivers do here, what healthcare savings would would 1389 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 1: would create in the marketplace, What healthcare cooperatives would do 1390 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 1: to the prices, what free market competition will now do 1391 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 1: for the average consumer in terms of the premiums they 1392 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,640 Speaker 1: pay and the services they're offered. Well, step one, you 1393 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,800 Speaker 1: would be able to buy the insurance that you actually 1394 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,840 Speaker 1: want to have, as opposed to being forced to buy 1395 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,400 Speaker 1: things that you don't want, you can't afford, and you 1396 01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:18,280 Speaker 1: can't use. Step two. I love the idea of having 1397 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:23,599 Speaker 1: money put aside for people with pre existing conditions. It's 1398 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: not just the eight billion dollars. There's already another hundred 1399 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,639 Speaker 1: and forty billion dollars that the government has targeted at 1400 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,360 Speaker 1: this group that they can take and put together. No 1401 01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:36,160 Speaker 1: one likes the idea that there are there's a group 1402 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:39,160 Speaker 1: of people who need so much health care because they 1403 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,519 Speaker 1: have pre existing conditions, that they're the ones that are 1404 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,479 Speaker 1: eating up all of the everything in the system basically 1405 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 1: that needs to be used. And those people don't want 1406 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,000 Speaker 1: to do that. That's not their choice. I mean, they're sick. 1407 01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,479 Speaker 1: We all want to find a way to pay for them. Well, 1408 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:57,560 Speaker 1: you know that leads Now, hang on one second, not 1409 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,920 Speaker 1: just forget talking points, because not in the for today, Chris. 1410 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm I literally just had I known I was all 1411 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:08,800 Speaker 1: all Melissa, I would have shaved for disappearance. I love you, Chris. 1412 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:12,559 Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know what to do 1413 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,679 Speaker 1: with that insane statement of yours. I think you should 1414 01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 1: apologize now and move on and eat your words. But whatever, um, 1415 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,600 Speaker 1: the only thing I'm gonna say to you, Chris, is 1416 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,679 Speaker 1: here's the thing I did. I didn't like the Upton Amendment, 1417 01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 1: to be honest, but I do believe we need to 1418 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,800 Speaker 1: protect people with pre existing conditions. Now, even you have 1419 01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,800 Speaker 1: to be happy that that is that that people that 1420 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,320 Speaker 1: have them. That's a real problem for people that they're 1421 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,639 Speaker 1: taking care of in this bill. If you have any 1422 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 1: intellectual honest you'll say, yeah, that's a good provision. I 1423 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 1: don't believe that they're taken care of. I think that 1424 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,600 Speaker 1: there's still a major shortfall in that area, and I 1425 01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 1: think they just needs to be protection for them, period, 1426 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,360 Speaker 1: so that insurance coupies don't discriminate in that regard. And 1427 01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:54,320 Speaker 1: of course it's hard for insurance companies to cover people 1428 01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 1: with pre existing conditions if you're not requiring healthier people 1429 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 1: to get into the insured, no problem. That's the exact 1430 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 1: problem that blew up the system the exact time around 1431 01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,360 Speaker 1: last time around. And you talked about insurance companies as 1432 01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 1: if they're this entity out there that you know, isn't 1433 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 1: made up of people. What we're talking about here is 1434 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:20,760 Speaker 1: which people are going to pay for people with pre 1435 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 1: existing conditions? Is it going to be the people themselves? 1436 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,920 Speaker 1: We've decided no, okay, for they're going to pay a 1437 01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 1: portion of it. But who's going to pay the rest 1438 01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 1: of it? When you say the government, that's not the government, 1439 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 1: that's me, that's you, that's every single listener outside, every 1440 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 1: single payer and Sean, by the way, slow down. So 1441 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned single payer. Why do all these people that 1442 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 1: have a lot of money in Canada that need heart 1443 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,960 Speaker 1: surgery and cancer treatment, and it's been so well chronicled, 1444 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,040 Speaker 1: why do they pick money out of their own pockets 1445 01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 1: to come to the United States to get their care 1446 01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,760 Speaker 1: because they can't get the surgery they want fast enough, 1447 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 1: the treatment that is good enough in the under their 1448 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 1: quote care system. Uh that exists. And by the way, 1449 01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,360 Speaker 1: the same thing with Great Britain with the health uh 1450 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 1: human services uh facility over how people who hang on 1451 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 1: LASSO brings up a good point. What about the v A, 1452 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 1: How that's government run, that single payer government run. Yeah, 1453 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:31,360 Speaker 1: I think the VA needs a lot of reform. Actually, 1454 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,640 Speaker 1: so it didn't so in anute it didn't work, did it. 1455 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't bill to allow the Arizona v A to 1456 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,519 Speaker 1: to work out this v A choice method that they're 1457 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 1: doing out they help they expanded nationwide. Melissa, did you 1458 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 1: know that in Great Britain health services down there that 1459 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,439 Speaker 1: if let's say you're older and you need hip surgery 1460 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,759 Speaker 1: or hip replacement or knee replacement, that they will factor 1461 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:56,600 Speaker 1: in your age and if you are beyond your life expectancy, 1462 01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,280 Speaker 1: they'll deny you the care that you need because they 1463 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,599 Speaker 1: can't afford it. I mean, talk about making cold heart 1464 01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:07,639 Speaker 1: economic decisions. That's normally what we throw out with Chris 1465 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: hang On. Chris, Chris, Chris hang On. She's talking the 1466 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,960 Speaker 1: person you insulted earlier. Go ahead. If you hear from 1467 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,800 Speaker 1: people all the time, there's anecdotal stories everywhere. I mean, 1468 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 1: I had a friend who's lent me a text today 1469 01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 1: who's sitting at a hospital in Canada with her father, 1470 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:23,400 Speaker 1: trying to get health care for him. He's very sick. 1471 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 1: She's incredibly upset, and she's like, she said, it's ironic 1472 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm texting you on this day, you know, trying to 1473 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 1: talk about something else, and here I am. He's told 1474 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 1: the American people that this is not the way to go, 1475 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,040 Speaker 1: that this system doesn't work. It would be great if 1476 01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,680 Speaker 1: it did. I wish it did. But the problem is 1477 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 1: that people can't be forced to make decisions that aren't 1478 01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: in their own economic interest. So they are not going 1479 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 1: to buy health insurance if they are healthy, and you're 1480 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 1: paying more for your insurance than what you're going to 1481 01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,760 Speaker 1: get back. You can't force people to do things that 1482 01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,479 Speaker 1: don't work for them. That's why socialism failed. All right, 1483 01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,559 Speaker 1: let me go to a different topic we may actually 1484 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,680 Speaker 1: all agree on. Let's play us, even Colbert in the 1485 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:06,439 Speaker 1: controversy over his maddening and vicious and vile attacks against 1486 01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 1: the president. Mr Trump, your presidency. I love your presidency. 1487 01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:15,520 Speaker 1: I call it disgrace the nation. You're not the potus, 1488 01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,439 Speaker 1: You're the lotus. You're the glutton with the button. You're 1489 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 1: a regular Gorge Washington. You're the president's but you're turning 1490 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 1: into a real trictator. So you attract more skinheads than 1491 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 1: free row gain. You have more people marching against you 1492 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,519 Speaker 1: the cancer. You talk like a sign language guerrilla who 1493 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,519 Speaker 1: got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing 1494 01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,599 Speaker 1: your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's polster. 1495 01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:51,400 Speaker 1: Presidental library, your presidential library, Your presidential library is gonna 1496 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,680 Speaker 1: be a kid's men. You want a couple of Judge magazine. 1497 01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:57,800 Speaker 1: The only thing smaller than your hands is your tax returns, 1498 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,760 Speaker 1: and you can take that any way you want. All right, 1499 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,120 Speaker 1: And of course, do you think that was a homophobic 1500 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:07,960 Speaker 1: slur that Colbert made? Chris, you know, as a bald man, 1501 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm really offended by that Rogaine joke. But I think 1502 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 1: comedians need to be given a wide berth, and I 1503 01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:15,479 Speaker 1: give him a wide berth, and I give him a 1504 01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 1: complete one. Not conservative talk show hosts. Right, look, I 1505 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 1: give you all the time. Oh okay, and last word 1506 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:29,240 Speaker 1: we'll give you in this segment, Melissa, Yeah, I don't understand. 1507 01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:32,160 Speaker 1: I can't follow the rules. When is it okay to 1508 01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,120 Speaker 1: make gay jokes? When is it okay to make fun 1509 01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:39,160 Speaker 1: of someone's weight? I mean if if one group does it, 1510 01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,000 Speaker 1: if another group does it, then all of a sudden, 1511 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 1: they're the worst people on the planet. I mean, I 1512 01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 1: just I can't keep track of what the rules are here. 1513 01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 1: All I gotta take a break, will come back nine one, 1514 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:53,760 Speaker 1: Shawn as toll free telephone number if you want to 1515 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Right as we continue 1516 01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 1: with the one and Only Chris han and Melissa Francis 1517 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 1: and of course Melissa, my colleague at the Fox News Channel, 1518 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 1: is a brand new book out and it's called Lessons 1519 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: from the Prairie. You know, a lot of people don't 1520 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,439 Speaker 1: know that you're on this hit television show as a kid, 1521 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 1: and you know, one of the great tributes to you is, 1522 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, look at all of these kids that grew 1523 01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,040 Speaker 1: up in Hollywood and and more actors and actresses and 1524 01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:18,680 Speaker 1: ended up a mess and and look how normal you 1525 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 1: turned out? Debate, Well, I don't know you. Maybe you 1526 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,200 Speaker 1: had me there until you said normal, because I don't 1527 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,120 Speaker 1: know if my whole family would agree I'm normal. I'm 1528 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 1: not sure Chris would agree that I'm normal. That he's 1529 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,719 Speaker 1: not in jail, and so that's something. And I didn't 1530 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,479 Speaker 1: go into rehab, so that's something there. I do have 1531 01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:37,719 Speaker 1: a beautiful family, and I thank God for that every 1532 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,479 Speaker 1: day I have it. It's sincere faith. And I spend 1533 01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:42,800 Speaker 1: the book mostly making fun of myself and making jokes 1534 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 1: so I will make you laugh. But at the end, 1535 01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 1: there are some very basic lessons that I learned. And 1536 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot in there about fake news. And I 1537 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,519 Speaker 1: have kind of a different take on this whole debate. See, 1538 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:56,240 Speaker 1: I think that every journalist out there, every person on television, 1539 01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,080 Speaker 1: has an opinion. If you don't have an opinion about 1540 01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:02,599 Speaker 1: what's going on, you are either brain dead or stupid, 1541 01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:05,200 Speaker 1: or you don't care. You're not engaged. Why are you 1542 01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,680 Speaker 1: in news? And the fact of the matter is that 1543 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 1: viewers and listeners are too sophisticated to be sold on 1544 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 1: the idea that these people are neutral, so it's better 1545 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,880 Speaker 1: for journalists and human beings. Just be honest, just be 1546 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:20,759 Speaker 1: forthright about where you're coming from. What do you expect 1547 01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,480 Speaker 1: that they shouldn't leave, And I think they should all expose, 1548 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,559 Speaker 1: for example, who they vote for in a presidential election 1549 01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:29,200 Speaker 1: does to be honest. I don't think it's oh, was 1550 01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 1: that for Chris? No, that was for you, because we 1551 01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,280 Speaker 1: don't really care what un Let's show you gotta understand, 1552 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:36,799 Speaker 1: we don't care what Chris thinks a lot. I love Chris. 1553 01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:38,800 Speaker 1: I love Chris, and you're the only person that I've 1554 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,439 Speaker 1: ever heard say that. But go ahead. I don't think 1555 01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 1: those necessarily who you voted for. I think the idea 1556 01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,479 Speaker 1: is that if you watch me on a regular basis, 1557 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,120 Speaker 1: you know that I think the free market works. That 1558 01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:52,280 Speaker 1: I believe the government waste our money. That sending your 1559 01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 1: money to Washington so that they can waste and maybe 1560 01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,800 Speaker 1: do something gaycent with one is inefficient for the whole 1561 01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:02,439 Speaker 1: economy and doesn't make any sense. That's my guiding principle. Smarter, 1562 01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,200 Speaker 1: smaller government. Smarter government would be great, but I think 1563 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:08,240 Speaker 1: that's too much to hope for. Anyway, beyond that, you 1564 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 1: know where I'm coming from. So when I moderated debate, 1565 01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:14,759 Speaker 1: when I participate in the debate, i can defend both sides, 1566 01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,880 Speaker 1: but I'm not lying about what my basic thinking is, 1567 01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,679 Speaker 1: so the viewer can judge for themselves, issue things there 1568 01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,799 Speaker 1: or not. It's these other people that try and hide 1569 01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,840 Speaker 1: their bias, and then they try and feed you what 1570 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:31,920 Speaker 1: they call facts, and people, you know, maybe don't give 1571 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,919 Speaker 1: it the right hard look. They would they just accept 1572 01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,720 Speaker 1: it as fact. When I was at NBC, I was 1573 01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,280 Speaker 1: very censored. You know, I was trying to talk about 1574 01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:42,880 Speaker 1: Obamacare the first time around, and I said, big numbers 1575 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 1: just don't make sense. If we have more people who 1576 01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,479 Speaker 1: use more stuffs, and how did they pay less, that's 1577 01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 1: gonna cost more. And they said, oh, you know, it's 1578 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:53,000 Speaker 1: like with the widgets. If there you lose money on 1579 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:54,760 Speaker 1: each one, you make it up on volume. I mean, 1580 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,360 Speaker 1: it was the focus focus map that never made any sense. 1581 01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:00,280 Speaker 1: And when I said at CNBC that that did make 1582 01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,040 Speaker 1: any sense, the math just didn't work. I was called 1583 01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,800 Speaker 1: up to the principal's office and told that I was 1584 01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,720 Speaker 1: disrespecting the offensive the president and they were trying to 1585 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:10,800 Speaker 1: send to me in a really false way. Not we 1586 01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:13,639 Speaker 1: don't like your political opinion, or we don't appreciate your math, 1587 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 1: but you're being disrespectful. See you hang on, Let's if 1588 01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't let Chris talk. I mean he's gonna go 1589 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,360 Speaker 1: and complain to Chuck Schumer and Chuck's gonna cry again. 1590 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:23,559 Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, you just hold on a shot. 1591 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,679 Speaker 1: You know ten years ago you don't like me anymore? 1592 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,519 Speaker 1: What's going on here? A lot of stuff? Stop. I 1593 01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:32,400 Speaker 1: do like you, but I don't want anybody to know. 1594 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:36,120 Speaker 1: You don't want anybody like Alex Jones. What do you 1595 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 1: mean like Alex Jones? Pretend battle? What do you break? Listen? 1596 01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,200 Speaker 1: I actually think Alex Jones is sincere. I mean you 1597 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:48,040 Speaker 1: can't take what happens in a in a divorce or 1598 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:50,800 Speaker 1: a custody battle seriously because people say all sorts of 1599 01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,000 Speaker 1: stuff they have to his radio show last week. But 1600 01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about Alex Jones. Listen, I'm 1601 01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 1: just saying in a divorce case. You know, you know 1602 01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,759 Speaker 1: plenty of people have through that crap that they say anything. 1603 01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:09,240 Speaker 1: Sure sure said? Okay, listen, this is way off course. 1604 01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 1: Get focused. Good grief. What is wrong with you? I mean, 1605 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:16,960 Speaker 1: this is why you only have three affiliates. Is this 1606 01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:22,559 Speaker 1: what you talk about I talk about? All right, listen, 1607 01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,240 Speaker 1: we do like Chris. You don't you have an ability 1608 01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:27,360 Speaker 1: to annoy me. But I do like you. And we 1609 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 1: love Melissa's new book. It's on Amazon dot com and 1610 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,599 Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. All right, big win for the president today. 1611 01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:36,000 Speaker 1: Laura Trump is with us. We'll also talk about the 1612 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 1: censoring that's going on at CNN and now NBCs. It 1613 01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,559 Speaker 1: relates to, uh, they don't want to be exposed as 1614 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,920 Speaker 1: fake news. Pretty fascinating. We'll talk to Laura Trump next 1615 01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 1: straight a. Hess and so you would do your best 1616 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:51,640 Speaker 1: to hold the ceto. Absolutely. We are the party of 1617 01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,680 Speaker 1: the opposition, and that is our job. Gets to a 1618 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,800 Speaker 1: point where they're just not doing their job. I did 1619 01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:01,559 Speaker 1: not hear better ideas coming out of the Democrats, right, 1620 01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:04,360 Speaker 1: They were just delaying and they were saying this is 1621 01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,880 Speaker 1: just wrong. You would not sit down with President elect 1622 01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,120 Speaker 1: Trump if if, if he invited you to the White House. 1623 01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:12,080 Speaker 1: Oh no, I will go. I'm not gonna sit down 1624 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,040 Speaker 1: with him. I'm not gonna go. Each new president coming 1625 01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,599 Speaker 1: into office was allowed to get his cabinet in place. 1626 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:21,439 Speaker 1: Donald Trump deserves the same. The Party of Pelosi is 1627 01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:24,880 Speaker 1: trying to block every initiative President Trump wants institive, but 1628 01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,360 Speaker 1: will that backfire? And he said, what could you work 1629 01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:29,680 Speaker 1: with on with the President Trump? First of all? And 1630 01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:31,599 Speaker 1: we're not going with anybody says we're going to repeal 1631 01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:34,559 Speaker 1: the affordable Karen Donald Trump just last week he confirmed 1632 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:37,320 Speaker 1: the National Review that he's again considering a run in 1633 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:47,559 Speaker 1: through it who wrote you account biding check you now 1634 01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:50,679 Speaker 1: on the half of this country which does not want 1635 01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:53,880 Speaker 1: you to be president, but which badly wants you to run. 1636 01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:56,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for 1637 01:33:56,640 --> 01:33:59,439 Speaker 1: president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just 1638 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:03,559 Speaker 1: assumed was running as a joke. Is that people think 1639 01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,360 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is a clown. Donald Donald Trump is 1640 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:09,080 Speaker 1: a clown. I mean, does anybody seriously think that Donald 1641 01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:13,839 Speaker 1: Trump is serious about running for president? Donald Trump the clown? 1642 01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,920 Speaker 1: Which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the 1643 01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:21,439 Speaker 1: general election of the declared ones? Right now? Donald Trump? 1644 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 1: President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president 1645 01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:36,720 Speaker 1: in the history of the United States. Exclamation point at 1646 01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:42,960 Speaker 1: real Donald Trump, at real Donald rupp At least I 1647 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 1: will go down as a president's Basically, this is the 1648 01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:51,840 Speaker 1: beginning of the end for Trump, at the beginning of 1649 01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,120 Speaker 1: the end. The beginning of the end is probably starting 1650 01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:56,439 Speaker 1: of the beginning of the end for for Donald Trump. 1651 01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,240 Speaker 1: Donald You're not gonna be able to insult your way 1652 01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:04,080 Speaker 1: to the presidents.

Sorry to keep you waiting, 1674 01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,760 Speaker 1: complicated business. A lot of people have laughed at me 1675 01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:36,599 Speaker 1: over the years. Now they're not laughing so much. I'll 1676 01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:38,840 Speaker 1: tell you alright, twenty five now till the top of 1677 01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:42,120 Speaker 1: the hour, News round Up, Information overload. And you know 1678 01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,479 Speaker 1: you gotta love this ad. So what's happening here is well, 1679 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,320 Speaker 1: Lara Trump, for example, she is the wife of Eric Trump, 1680 01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:51,519 Speaker 1: has joined a digital company. And what the It's been 1681 01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:56,040 Speaker 1: used by President Trump's successful presidential campaign. And the purpose 1682 01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:59,000 Speaker 1: of it is you know that they are now sort 1683 01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:02,040 Speaker 1: of a liaison on outside source for getting news and 1684 01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:04,679 Speaker 1: information out there. Now, they wanted to run those ads 1685 01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:07,320 Speaker 1: on NBC. They wanted to run those ads on on 1686 01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:11,080 Speaker 1: of course CNN, and it was sensor CNN won't run 1687 01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:15,240 Speaker 1: what is ostensibly an ad supportive of the president, and 1688 01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 1: one has to ask why because you have you know, 1689 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,200 Speaker 1: and rightly so. The president's supporters are saying CNN and 1690 01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:23,679 Speaker 1: NBC are guilty of censorship for not airing an ad 1691 01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:27,200 Speaker 1: that touted the president's accomplishments in the first hundred days, 1692 01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:30,720 Speaker 1: and they rejected it because it was sort of what 1693 01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:33,720 Speaker 1: they called fake news. Interesting coming from all of them, 1694 01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,599 Speaker 1: of course, Lara Trump joins us, Now, how are you, Lara, 1695 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,160 Speaker 1: Always great to talk to you. And by the way, 1696 01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:40,920 Speaker 1: I heard the great news. Congratulations and of course I'm 1697 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,559 Speaker 1: so sorry that you and Eric have to deal with 1698 01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:48,400 Speaker 1: the b s from an abusive group of individuals and 1699 01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 1: leftists in this country. They can't even let you have 1700 01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:53,360 Speaker 1: a child without, you know, attacking you for crying out loud. 1701 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:56,040 Speaker 1: It's really sad, but you know it's Sean. We're we're 1702 01:37:56,120 --> 01:38:00,479 Speaker 1: so used to it. Unfortunately, that campaign gives you dreamely 1703 01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:03,479 Speaker 1: thick skins. So thank you though, we're very excited to 1704 01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:07,360 Speaker 1: that's that's thirty years of my life too, and it's 1705 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:11,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a baby boy and at your first child, congratulations, 1706 01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:13,720 Speaker 1: thank you. You know I've had a chance to be 1707 01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:15,519 Speaker 1: around you and Eric a lot. I mean, you guys 1708 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,640 Speaker 1: are just like the greatest couple. It's like if I 1709 01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:19,320 Speaker 1: ever met two people. Every once in a while you 1710 01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:21,240 Speaker 1: meet these couples and you say, Wow, those two people 1711 01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:23,800 Speaker 1: really belong together. That's how I see you two. Well, 1712 01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,000 Speaker 1: I agree with you, but thank you. That's so nice 1713 01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:28,360 Speaker 1: to hear. And you know, I feel really lucky. I 1714 01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:31,920 Speaker 1: I sort of feel that way around the entire Trump family. UM, 1715 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,760 Speaker 1: and this campaign of nothing else brought us all so 1716 01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:38,000 Speaker 1: much closer together. For as much hate and as much 1717 01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,519 Speaker 1: negativity as you know, with throwing our way, we really 1718 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,200 Speaker 1: all learned to stick together. And UM, I'll say that 1719 01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:46,280 Speaker 1: I feel I feel the same way about the whole family. 1720 01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:49,439 Speaker 1: Everybody is um is wonderful. The one thing when people 1721 01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:52,320 Speaker 1: ask me, either on this show or when I meet people, 1722 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:54,960 Speaker 1: they asked, well, what's Donald Trump really like? What's President 1723 01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,559 Speaker 1: Trump really like? I said, the thing that stands out 1724 01:38:57,600 --> 01:38:59,600 Speaker 1: more than anything else, and I've known him for a 1725 01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:04,559 Speaker 1: couple of decades, is he's beyond courageous. There's very few people, 1726 01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:08,479 Speaker 1: I think that have the ability and the desire to 1727 01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:12,880 Speaker 1: take on as as many hits as he's taking. And 1728 01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:16,400 Speaker 1: also just freely. You know, I think one of the 1729 01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:18,400 Speaker 1: funniest things he does is when he's out on the stump. 1730 01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 1: You see all those people in the back, all of 1731 01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,200 Speaker 1: those people, they're all liars, fake news, all of them. 1732 01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:24,960 Speaker 1: They're all fake news. They're not going to report the 1733 01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 1: size of this crowd. It just resonates. No other politician 1734 01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:32,600 Speaker 1: would ever do that, and it makes me laugh. I 1735 01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,559 Speaker 1: think it's hilarious. The rest of the media just doubles 1736 01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:38,599 Speaker 1: down on hating him and bizarre conspiracy theories. I think 1737 01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:41,559 Speaker 1: it's funny. Yeah, well listen, I mean, he's the first 1738 01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:44,600 Speaker 1: person we have ever seen run for this office that 1739 01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:47,640 Speaker 1: does not need the job. You know, Donald Trump had 1740 01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,519 Speaker 1: an incredible life before he became the president, before he 1741 01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:54,280 Speaker 1: decided to run for the presidency, and he knew going 1742 01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:55,840 Speaker 1: into this that he would give up a lot. I 1743 01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 1: don't think he could have predicted how much. But he 1744 01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:01,880 Speaker 1: doesn't need them because this campaign was it was more 1745 01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:03,880 Speaker 1: of a movement, as we all remember, you know, it 1746 01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,800 Speaker 1: was the people of the country saying we're tired of 1747 01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,400 Speaker 1: the fake news that we're seeing happen now. We're tired 1748 01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:11,960 Speaker 1: of people telling us what we should think. We're going 1749 01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,040 Speaker 1: to think for ourselves. We're going to choose for ourselves, 1750 01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:17,320 Speaker 1: and although you can see the numbers the entire campaign, 1751 01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,880 Speaker 1: we're going to vote for the candidate of our choice, 1752 01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,840 Speaker 1: and that happened to be Donald Trump. As we saw 1753 01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:26,400 Speaker 1: November eight, Well, today was obviously a big legislative day. 1754 01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:29,480 Speaker 1: I've been I've been pretty hard lately on the Republicans 1755 01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,000 Speaker 1: in Congress. You know, the phrase I use is that 1756 01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:34,000 Speaker 1: they need to keep up with the speed of Trump. 1757 01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:38,519 Speaker 1: They're obnoxiously slow, pathetically slow, lacking an urgency that I 1758 01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:40,880 Speaker 1: don't understand in my own life. But they finally got 1759 01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:44,360 Speaker 1: it done. Obamacare is gone, and I think this is 1760 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,720 Speaker 1: gonna be a huge first step towards a number of 1761 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,639 Speaker 1: legislative successes and followed up obviously by his economic plan 1762 01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:53,799 Speaker 1: and this will give a trillion dollars to the bottom 1763 01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:56,280 Speaker 1: line of that. So this was a very critical, important 1764 01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:59,400 Speaker 1: piece of advancing the economic agenda of the president. What 1765 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,360 Speaker 1: do you think of toda? Oh, I was so happy 1766 01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:03,920 Speaker 1: to see that it passed. And um, you know what, 1767 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:06,040 Speaker 1: You're right when you say that they can't keep up 1768 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:08,760 Speaker 1: with the speed of of President Trump. I mean, this 1769 01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,439 Speaker 1: is a man who works tirelessly. We saw it on 1770 01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:13,360 Speaker 1: the campaign trail. You see it now that he's in 1771 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 1: the White House. And you know, we all know the 1772 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:18,439 Speaker 1: history of government. Everything is slow. I mean, it's sort 1773 01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:20,600 Speaker 1: of a joke. Things take forever to get done, to 1774 01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:25,120 Speaker 1: get past. Legislations are extremely slow and tedious. And I 1775 01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:27,439 Speaker 1: think is there's one good thing that he's bringing to 1776 01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:30,360 Speaker 1: the Republican Party right now. It's him saying, guys, we 1777 01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:32,200 Speaker 1: have to get it together. We don't have time to 1778 01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,760 Speaker 1: waste on this stuff. And I was thrilled to see 1779 01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:36,760 Speaker 1: that it passed. And I think you're right. I think 1780 01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:39,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be a great first step for many, 1781 01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:42,519 Speaker 1: many more incredible things that are going to come. Let 1782 01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:46,080 Speaker 1: me talk about your involvement now. Um, and I know 1783 01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:49,439 Speaker 1: that Ivanka and Jared they went to the White House 1784 01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:51,240 Speaker 1: a Banka is now going to be a special assistant 1785 01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:54,639 Speaker 1: to the President and then she'll have an office inside 1786 01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:56,800 Speaker 1: the West Wing. And Jared is a top advisor in 1787 01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:00,720 Speaker 1: the White White House. Um, you eric On Junior and 1788 01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,519 Speaker 1: his family. You you guys decided to stay back and 1789 01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:06,479 Speaker 1: and run the business, but yet you're getting involved again, 1790 01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:08,880 Speaker 1: and and tell us what the process is and what 1791 01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:12,960 Speaker 1: you think about CNN and NBC and their censorship here. Yeah, Well, 1792 01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,479 Speaker 1: I work for Giles Parscal, which was our digital media 1793 01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:19,679 Speaker 1: company UM, throughout the campaign, and I've actually been hired 1794 01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:21,960 Speaker 1: essentially as a consultant to the campaign. So I worked 1795 01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,320 Speaker 1: day in and day out with the campaign for UM 1796 01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 1: and we're still here. You know, a lot of people, 1797 01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:28,920 Speaker 1: I think are surprised to know that we put on 1798 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: every rally that the president has done since his election UM, 1799 01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,400 Speaker 1: and we still want to keep the movement strong. We 1800 01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:38,200 Speaker 1: want people to know that we are still here. Just 1801 01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,200 Speaker 1: because you cast your vote for Donald Trump on November 1802 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,760 Speaker 1: eight does not mean that the campaign shuts down. We 1803 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:45,880 Speaker 1: want to stay here. We want to keep this movement going. 1804 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,960 Speaker 1: We we want to keep it alive. And so day 1805 01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:51,879 Speaker 1: to day I work with the campaign, And as you mentioned, 1806 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,840 Speaker 1: we wanted to do a hundred days ad and we 1807 01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,960 Speaker 1: wanted to let the people of the country know what 1808 01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:00,320 Speaker 1: great things the president has done in his first hundred 1809 01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:03,160 Speaker 1: days in office, because quite frankly, Sean, you watch any 1810 01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:05,439 Speaker 1: other network than Fox News and you're hard pressed to 1811 01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:07,840 Speaker 1: find anything positive that they'll have to say about the 1812 01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:10,599 Speaker 1: first hundred days. So we said we have to do 1813 01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,320 Speaker 1: something about this, and I think, Lara, I actually think 1814 01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:16,599 Speaker 1: I'm the only one that actually wrote it out put 1815 01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,880 Speaker 1: it on the screen. I honestly do. And it's all 1816 01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,599 Speaker 1: the truth. It's all They're all big accomplishments, you know, 1817 01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,559 Speaker 1: starting with Neil Gorsch now culminating a couple of days 1818 01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:29,400 Speaker 1: later with healthcare. But you know, in terms of regulation 1819 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:33,160 Speaker 1: and especially in the energy sector, such an important part 1820 01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:36,439 Speaker 1: of the the economic recovery that will need. But you know, 1821 01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,160 Speaker 1: I put everyone on the on the screen. Nobody else 1822 01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:42,040 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen in media ever did that. Yeah, 1823 01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:45,479 Speaker 1: And so we really felt it was important to highlight 1824 01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:49,679 Speaker 1: all of these incredible accomplishments, and we wanted to buy 1825 01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:53,000 Speaker 1: a standard campaign ad, and we sent it out to 1826 01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:58,920 Speaker 1: all the major networks across the board, Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, 1827 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,679 Speaker 1: And I actually just heard right before um I got 1828 01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,920 Speaker 1: on this show with you that CBS now has also 1829 01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:12,519 Speaker 1: rejected running our ad, as has follow the Loser. I mean, they, 1830 01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:14,799 Speaker 1: you know, one makes the decision and they're like dominoes 1831 01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:18,200 Speaker 1: and they all fall into place, and the reality is 1832 01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:22,799 Speaker 1: they it's it's censorship, and we are trying to speak 1833 01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:25,840 Speaker 1: directly to the American people, just like Donald Trump did 1834 01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,080 Speaker 1: the entire campaign, just like President Trump does now at 1835 01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:32,080 Speaker 1: all the rallies that he continues to hold because we 1836 01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 1: feel it's important to let the people know what's really 1837 01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,800 Speaker 1: going on, because if you watch mainstream media, you get 1838 01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: a very different view of the things that the president 1839 01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:42,200 Speaker 1: has done in this first hundred days than what the 1840 01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:46,040 Speaker 1: reality is. So I was really disappointed to hear that 1841 01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:48,920 Speaker 1: they have all come back and rejected that. And quite frankly, 1842 01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:53,080 Speaker 1: it's Unamerican. Its censorship and people should be outraged by this. 1843 01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:56,320 Speaker 1: People have a right to know. This is part of America. 1844 01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:59,400 Speaker 1: You know. It's it's very, very disappointing to hear this 1845 01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:02,960 Speaker 1: sort of saying, Um, Unfortunately, it's not that surprising. All right, 1846 01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:05,479 Speaker 1: let me play a part of the ad that you're 1847 01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:09,080 Speaker 1: talking about. And it's hard to understand the mysterious reluctance 1848 01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:12,840 Speaker 1: and resistance. Donald Trump sworn in as president one hundred 1849 01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:17,280 Speaker 1: days ago. America has rarely seen such success. A respected 1850 01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:21,759 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice confirmed companies investing in American jobs again, 1851 01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:27,520 Speaker 1: America becoming more energy independent. Regulations that kill American jobs, eliminated, 1852 01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,840 Speaker 1: the biggest tax cut plan in history. You wouldn't know 1853 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:34,439 Speaker 1: it from watching the news. America is winning and President 1854 01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:37,880 Speaker 1: Trump is making America great again. I'm Donald Trump and 1855 01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:41,360 Speaker 1: I approved this message. They can't even run that ad. 1856 01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:45,559 Speaker 1: That's what's so Yeah, it's it's terrible. You know, the 1857 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:49,520 Speaker 1: our democracy was founded on a vibrant marketplace of ideas 1858 01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,599 Speaker 1: or every American has the freedom of expression, the freedom 1859 01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 1: of speech, and this is detrimental to the American public 1860 01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:01,360 Speaker 1: that they cannot run a campaign that tells the truth. 1861 01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:04,880 Speaker 1: These are all true accomplishments of the president. And it's 1862 01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:07,800 Speaker 1: it's really disappointing, really, you know. And and this is 1863 01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:10,360 Speaker 1: why I sent out tweets. I hate Stephen Colbert what 1864 01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 1: he said about your father over that line with President Obama. 1865 01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:16,880 Speaker 1: But I also say, no boycott's no censorship. Turn your 1866 01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:18,640 Speaker 1: on and off, use your on and off button, use 1867 01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:20,720 Speaker 1: your up and down dial to click off and move 1868 01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:26,160 Speaker 1: to Kimmel or or whoever else you want to watch Conan. Dad. 1869 01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:28,840 Speaker 1: It's really sad that we live in a day and 1870 01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:32,240 Speaker 1: age where people have such little respects for the office 1871 01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:35,120 Speaker 1: of the presidency. Look, I don't care who you voted 1872 01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:38,320 Speaker 1: for in this election. Donald Trump is your president. If 1873 01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,160 Speaker 1: you are a United States citizen. He's your president and 1874 01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:45,920 Speaker 1: that demands some respect. And it's really sad to think 1875 01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:48,960 Speaker 1: that someone like Stephen Colbert would have the audacity to 1876 01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:52,880 Speaker 1: say those sorts of things. I mean, it's vile, it's disgusting, 1877 01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,840 Speaker 1: and you're right. Could you imagine if anyone had dared 1878 01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:00,120 Speaker 1: even come close to saying something like that. And I'm 1879 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,719 Speaker 1: telling my conservative friends, no, don't call for a boycott. 1880 01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:05,439 Speaker 1: Turn the dial. Turn the dial, because they're using that 1881 01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:09,400 Speaker 1: tactic to silence conservatives every day. Lara, we gotta let 1882 01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:11,160 Speaker 1: you go. It's uh, it's great to talk to you you. 1883 01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:12,840 Speaker 1: I saw the interview you guys did in the morning 1884 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,519 Speaker 1: on Fox and Friends was a great interview. Congrats on 1885 01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 1: the baby. We'll run the ad and make sure people 1886 01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:21,400 Speaker 1: are aware of it tonight on Hannity. You're gonna join 1887 01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:24,559 Speaker 1: us on TV. Big health care vote for the president, 1888 01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:26,280 Speaker 1: big win for him today, and it shows that his 1889 01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 1: hard work and and perseverance pays off because he was 1890 01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:33,800 Speaker 1: actively involved up to the last minute making sure this happened. So, uh, 1891 01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:35,160 Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. We'll see you to 1892 01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:36,840 Speaker 1: night on Hannity. Thanks then,
