-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Good morning -- -- in how are you you're out west.
Man epithet beautiful spirit -- here let me dictating gonna get -- the politics of this kind of on fire right now -- always.
All the Spin Doctors prepping for the health care decisions and then of course you get the big fights going on over older.
And everything to everybody thinks everything's gonna be -- before July 4 but I mean right now everybody's just kind of locked into anticipation about what the conversely.
What do you think ago.
The supreme -- gonna decide on health care.
Well you know initially the thought -- after the failures in the your argument that everything was going in favor.
Simply.
Saying -- -- are attracted to strong levels booked in the last week or so -- must tell you it.
Yeah but the consensus around it seems to have shifted it at the moment everything has focused on the individual mandate and can't hold -- awarded hold up but.
The expectation is that even if it doesn't hold that you're gonna have other aspect of health care bill that will be in place and then all of a sudden Republicans will be on the defensive.
As to what exactly will you guys have in mind because.
I think it's over 70% of Americans don't like instead of all our healthcare so been very idea would be a will tell us what you Republicans who blown up to help your bill wanna do it that.
And of course president and have president's reelection team would be on the offensive and saying.
You know we've got a -- Supreme Court and the overly politicized -- It's gonna be something.
So you're so what you're saying and what many are.
-- sound to me like you're hoping for.
There's says -- -- the Supreme Court.
Strikes down the mandate.
Leaves in place of rest of it and that in fact ruled drawn out to be good for the president.
Well you know what you have to do -- 360 to make -- got to be.
You know what he wanted because all along has been saying the -- -- is essential in order for the whole bill to work with and I think they're gonna pay -- -- other funding mechanism.
And we could have imposed -- straight out -- instead of I think it was an 800 dollar fine if you don't have health insurance.
But you know I mean he's a politician that meniscus economic head but yet I mean -- -- not what I'm wishing for a mean.
From my perspective I think we do need Health Care Reform in this country period give me personally it must.
You know I mean I can see clearly that when you look at the numbers on the bill I think it's.
4090%.
Of Americans say they don't like it 41 or forty to -- yet they like it you know that's -- -- -- members -- -- Not -- -- are here to talk a little some.
11 implement arms weren't toward him -- in the I was an article on this morning in the newspaper that -- -- or actually on the real website.
Which are got up early to -- of course.
God Al West Virginia Democrats.
Are turning their back actually approach and -- all right.
-- -- about it the governor and the senator mentioned that you know -- -- decided they're not going to the convention.
In North Carolina and they make it a big -- of it Obama's numbers are in the toilet in West Virginia.
And that they want to distance themselves from the president I also tighten that article you know.
What's going on with people like Claire McCaskill in Missouri even on the immigration the DREAM Act.
Step that the president took -- guess that two weeks ago which is played extremely well with Hispanic community but here's mechanical again try to appeal to independents.
Even liberal Republicans if any of those still exist.
Saying you know way I'm not sure about what the president -- on immigration so.
It did take me back and take that back in this conversation the health care bill -- -- we're you know at the end it was.
The president didn't have any both from the Republican so he ended up negotiating with conservative Democrats who put him in a box and he ended up doing things like that.
Cornhuskers deal you know for best health and Latin and the Republicans say -- this is Chicago style politics this is bribery this it's it's making.
You know it is expected in the -- I think when -- history of all this is written or read that they well Republicans didn't want to do anything to help Obama true but.
Conservative Democrat definitely took their around the place -- -- the president -- -- any help from all.
The likes of Bill Clinton never Cory -- -- there.
Well not -- -- wall streeters you know because both of those guys you know they're get money and has strong relationships on Wall Street and so.
There are lots of interesting and intriguing dynamics there profit targets therefore are -- -- -- The idea that Clinton also I think in specific just think you know.
He's still the bottom of the Democratic Party and I've never given up that title doesn't like it that anybody else which talented.
I think I think there's just so much going on inside the Democratic Party -- it you know remind you that old phrase you know.
Prayer in the parties that you want to express some -- loan -- Marco Rubio is aren't.
Well you know later we got to talk to Manuel -- -- -- who just written a book about will be in the week before I talked to rubio himself about rubio new book.
And that was great fear about.
Board friend this book because -- idea what this does is attack on rubio.
So I read the book and -- -- tell -- I'm in the book is pretty supportive than any in fact even.
A little starry eyed about rubio and its future.
They raise questions you know about rubio Stanley they didn't run away from Castro initially and challenge of a lot of narrative that we have been putting out there on -- stomp.
-- in the whole business about rubio Stanley converting from catholicism to Mormon is and then back to.
Baptism and -- Baptist and now he's.
And they'll be deemed to be going back to consultant and it's a little unclear and then there's all this talk about they're kind of money changing -- -- deals in.
Foreclosure on properties in Florida and his -- give a very close friend in the Florida legislature -- itself is under investigation for some.
Charges of corruption.
All that in the book but overall.
Let me tell you Marco Rubio looks pretty strong in the book and of course if rubio -- broker you know -- throughout the promoting -- -- I'm not sure after reading to look out -- -- only negative is maybe.
His friends would do much favor if they could you know work Merkel slowdown on being BP right now you're gonna be you could be president when he's sixteen or -- territory Britain you know right now I think he would get.
A lot of questions about what happened in part -- about the fact that he's so -- In his life religion not to.
Sports on old Ramon noodles and throw you Hubert cheerleader for the corporate -- Kamal maybe.
The -- she got a going on some.
