let
scandal he's driven me crazy tightly i think uh... a listener set this to me
well for she said that to me via twitter or
uh... on uh...
uh... through with a majority reporters at gmail dot com
uh...
but this job for the altar piece
gate
drives me crazy
uh... don't first of all you know alternative cancer survivor
so
so what did you eat he had not done
can't extra you pick that experience
and to what would it be like and not have health insurance
what would his life be like well i you know the funny thing is though is that i
think that that you know his health concerns
he's not citizens yet that maybe that's why
uh... his big blindside isn't social security as opposed to maybe things like
medicare
uh... we ought to be right and you know i have had
numerous exchanges with john travolta
uh... it green rooms over the years about so security
and did a year or two ago he was talking about here is it
age why not and we had a
an extended that
email exchange where
i said well you know the problem is is that night you keep talking about life
expectancy has gone up but the fact is it's only gone up for people in the
upper aa income distribution
and and frankly i'm also not quite sure
that uh... life expectancy gone up
hasn't been a function
of some security and uh... medicare to some degree
you know all of the all of the justifications of why we can cut so
scary
uh... the that
it's wealthy people who say that it's their there are no
you know i have yet to see anyone
who is going to who is in the uh... the middle-income
uh...
one of the
the bottom three
income quintiles in other words sixty percent of the country who is ever
advocated for cuts in social security
you've just do not see because they know how important it is to them uh... into
eight different we're talking about sixty percent of the of the country rely
on so scary
uh... over fifty percent of their income
in their in their retirement
dot i i i think other important thing is the first of all when he got a problem
that he's about life expectancy would really doubted
most of their life expectancy did it come from
from infant mortality going down because of uh... road
uh... you know
we'd be coming up with all sorts of
but we couldn't have been like polio
uh... you did you measure it for the aids sixty-five there's been very little
the day
that exactly why did you make a sturdy litigators twenty recounted what it was
then you're gonna
that that don't get above
though he did have been virtually non-existent
we had a good but they're not you know there are almost non-existent and and so
if you can pick mortality going into its not that want to keep the ball
it it could take it
kerrigan about
the type of money you make but also inherited for dr occupation
because the truth is
if that jonathan alter if you know and then you and i have this luxury to
if we're lucky and again i'm still smarting no date knock on wood art you
know what i mean what would happen to mark per capita any of us
rainy day but likely
if that doesn't happen people like you would be the types of jobs we do we
could probably do will do our seventies
great total to keep writing a column in the books
and whatever dot back-breaking labor it's not construction type of thing that
really
here at the age of sixty sixty-five yet medium hard time two weeks before your
body falling apart right um... ed into these data by in
back to you
except for those of us who are lucky enough to work behind a desk
you know a delegate of the of the talk for a living in right for a living and
eating like that
who he'll check and i will be a lot longer and i have to rely on social
security
and it would be whether or not on our own schedule
you know we do a little bit a little bit that supplement your income when you
need to
uh... until that day the huge treatment and obviously
the income levels of the parties that argument the magic biblical in my own
imagination i sit here and i i i a picture when you're working out
with a tax cut off we're going to be
the people were killed all the receipt of the rover like
you know what their wouldn't you know they're very income stream like what
makes or twenty-five select keep it
that actuator of
you know that building where most like welll
uh... you know most of the guys who are washington pundit to get on t_v_
allotted right there called the writer book speckled income level you know that
u p p to poor people you expect a lot of them all what they're right um... edited
that i was the perfect place you gotta get you know you're going to get in the
tax cuts i would have been pointed to extend developed right and of course
there are also there hanging out chasing people who are making millions of
dollars so they perceive themselves as a cash-strapped
nitrite holiday cooking undergrad here i can barely sent three my kids to uh...
forty thousand dollars your private school
uh... correct until i don't really want to go to boot about sending the creek
and attitude to private school that it will be left it strappy a little bit
contraindicated
i think people that make
uh... two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year or unseemly get people to make a
million dollars here i've already before and i can tell you that i think that we
should be separate tax brackets and that i would argue for bringing back the
uh... what i would call the reagan first term
uh...
uh... you know uh... tax bracket i think it should be fifty percent for people
making about the people you know whatever it might be a couple million
dollars to your they didn't make much more money than people making two
hundred fifty who want to make much more might be able to make fifty
and joe i'd i do think there should be coming to the differentiation
it but the people that but they definitely would alter the don't see at
that video or at least you don't see below him any differentiation t_v_ okay
without as a security to do just fine like me
dollars and specifically referring to it because you know
there is it mean it's fascinating to me
that there it is a uh... the
uh...
a
section
uh... the
center
or left to supposedly
um... that immediately after the
uh... fiscal cliff dealing with uh...
will talk about that will analyze that a little bit uh...
have come out and basically said on direct
roles
all complaining
and they don't realize either that though the president juan
whatever that means
uh... and if they better not interfere with his ability to cut entitlements
you know come
the debt ceiling fight this is let me read a little bit from a halter staying
here because stop people should hear this
let me start off you could already hear the rumbling in the distance
uh... training under application carnahan a train of noisy liberal
democrats
barreling straight to the white house
i think at this point you know we're talking about maybe a small school bus
they're monitoring of those people but um... the president already has its
hands full dealing with the angry unrealistic
republicans
now he's getting reacquainted with their counterparts on the left
a less ideologically inflexible bunch but not necessarily any more susceptible
to a reason
a role i'm mean this is just like
hasty capability quickly
and unfortunately some indeed appeared in the right here
i mean
people paid it's got a right
but you don't see that coming up so you know they've been video production here
but the week unlike you know charlie pierce served at how you'd hear some
people who can actually right
and then you read this stuff with every cliche
whatever you sort of uh... you know uh... every sort of pia straight ahead
will rogers and the democrats are or honored party over democrat we literally
lincoln to buy anywhere unesco okay i'll get off that uh... me incidentally
he goes on and it says
archived he he
the grudgingly says you know liberals did keep their mouths shut during the
twenty twelve election
odd to you know to make sure that they didn't help brawny but here they come
again
of
became dangerously close to derailing landmark health care reform what they've
been fighting since the progress of ball most party convention in nineteen twelve
but look at friendly you know is a
um... some uh...
uh... reader's digest history here
and do you know you got to be repeated action tertiary because what that what
that nineteen twelve bull moose platform called for whisper universal fuel
single-payer
healthcare so this would be a little different but they did
about a care in my opinion and not by much better than having nothing it is
uh... i don't know
that that was a touche i don't know if you're that but all that was nice uh...
but a bit
but but yes cell youth
and and also i would
i would take umbrage at his recent history because
no built was in danger because of liberals
the bill is in danger because of people like him
like people like joe lieberman
uh... if the bill was in danger because of people like max pockets
and contract uh... this was not uh... the wasn't liberals up are you holding
up this bill
uh... to the extent that that there was any days any chance that this was in the
past it was that the uh... blue dog democrat
and the so-called centrists who are holding this up
if we had uh... you know a fifty five-year-old by amit for medicare like
joe lieberman supported back when he
when the insurance companies were saying and we don't have a sustainable business
model i can you get some of our older people on to medicare
and so we have just you know
people from twenty five to fifty five to ensure our then we can uh... we can work
this out
uh... those are the people
who endangered the affordable care act at the end of the day
leaving that aside
he goes on to talk about uh... why uh...
liberals were upset
with the fiscal clift deal
it was because it went from two fifty to four fifty
and of
they complained that he keeps violated prints at least one extra vacation here
for the older family right exactly that put an extra six grand in our pockets
um...
and they were upset because he compromised
and i wanted your take on this fiscal cliff thing but the biggest
the biggest failure in my estimation
about that deal
that president obama made
was that it was a un
necessarily made when it was made
look at the end of the day
the divers to inform toward two fifteen four fifty
you know from unless concerned with that at the end of the day that i a m
that you'd never made the republicans pay a price
the one thing that he touts in this is that that one of chief manifesto cliff
deal was that violated the hasher rule
which is the uh... d dennis has ruled that required a majority of the majority
republican caucus to proceed on legislation
first off
they can do that with the republican role only care about
harris they've been reinstated tomorrow if they want to
it's not a real
no one cares it doesn't hurt them clinically apaul
all if they if they did we would have seen uh...
uh... we wouldn't see speaker bone marrow today
uh... it would be something that washington peace i mean basically
perceived that about you know that is a a of the but thing that would put in
place by republican during after it was a republican to do it
not democrat
so i don't even understand the relevant other adequate health care so if you
have a fact
and shared sacrifice
and liberals were complain like conservatism ebook extremist and sharing
at all that crap enemy and what does come down to his
is that you will be more of what they're up there on the left or even call them
populist working-class people whoever did corporate pep talk about the trip to
talk about it for a reason
if you're on the wealthy faggett to give up a little bit yet to give up a little
bit that reverses people that may be giving up food in medication
which people adult alter keeping the freakin understood
and ameen two we tax title which is the liberals complaining until it gets me so
mad when i read that crap
because it's like those pitches then complain because they want to do you
know get their pound of flesh ecotourism so maybe actually care about people not
telling
and see that
in the end and and and he said ways into bragging about the demise of the house
or rule or maybe the temporary suspension of it or whatever i mean
honestly
i think there are more implications to the republicans coming in taking over
the house and making sure that all the cops or styrofoam again
has actual more implications in the world than the house or cruel
uh... but then he just moves from there
so that is a complete non sequitur now in in this is what's important about
this piece
if there is a any writer out there
of of this sale
that has a closer relationship with the white house i don't know who else ok
darling i tell you what this is an obscenity anyone pointing book about the
yassin is not just a question of defending them
i mean it looked very he has his sources
and uh... i keep very well may believe this stuff that he writes i'm sure he
does
but the fact of the matter is he has those sources because those sources
trust him to carry a certain amount of water
for the obon administration and i'm not saying there's a quid pro quo here it's
just that like-minded people can do
uh... tend to uh... gather together
and uh... so there if you don't have a couple culture too
often situation where included washington where you directly
expectation uncertainty bleeding certain things
student kinda liking corporate
well corporate banking thing and often something doesn't need to be headed
kinda like when you work in the newspapers on a report on coming parable
now we have to tell you not to do it as you look around you see
where people are talking about in doing above you you could you know not to do
it
intimate in this case it you didn't have the actual quid pro quo we don't have to
be
he want access to the white house if i want to one of the booker t one l baba
and you know he didn't realize what he needs to be able to get that right and
so then he said was literally
from be achievement of the fiscal cliff to stop this is the only one that he
prefers to incidentally
anita aside from the fact that supposedly we got republicans
to uh... raise taxes no
republicans didn't raise taxes
unless you say that when they made the sunset provision in the bush tax cuts
that they raise taxes
because republicans didn't raise taxes
when this deal was voted upon
that d'amato in anybody took a vote on this now when the handshake was well
when the mobile tomorrow with the deal was voted upon
taxes were already up on everybody
they were brought up on everybody in because president obama didn't let uh...
it the
very clear you don't even have the political advantage as saying that these
hundred and fifty one republicans in the house voted against this were voting
against a tax cut
and i think that did that night
by that my issue we have two four
and really uh... you know which we got off i'll tell you stuff about alter
which is important but
might take on this whole deal again did exactly like yours i don't really that
the difference between two fifty four fifty is not a huge deal today
again in our economy right now my thoughts are that that people in the two
hundred fifty to four fifty range probably still spends your money
and having him more money in their pockets probably in the worst thing in
the world it's really how we got there that days by prob but i'll tell you that
any deal that should be made
first of all should not allow coveted seen a state tax
uh... you know redemption which now as well i think it's up to five million in
liabilities for half a million burst out
to ten million per couple dot
and
forty percent you know as opposed to going back up to one oh one point fifty
or fifty five to five less than that
that
that had that would intervene intoxicating interest loophole
that that the most of the big city and division is also i think they were
legally avoid paying their taxes and what i do anything about it right
dividends as it was it was also a very big deal in my estimation
uh... they don and and and and then i would go into doing the those things
were more but much more pat buchanan attitude could be a four fifty uh...
were again i think that
there could be a justification me for wanting to be blood that
and this is our bluff
deliveries
you wait a couple of days you have the leverage you offer bills
that basically provide for the same tax yet even in order to four fifty level
and you put on there you've including those bills these type of her
provisions not just on uh... on things like dividends and whatnot
but also provision of like uh...
you know what
the debt ceiling provisional or active so that last edited or are you worried
that we're not going to be rapid feeling good
are not letting you neolithic in the cold
take this country awd or you hunt you participa mister stuff because that's
supposedly where the line of demarcation is gonna be played on and i say that
only because
of what uh... alter rights and what we keep hearing over and it's the
president's committed
do not four oh four six in the executive power to uh... paella the government's
bills
black you know when it comes
sequester that's another thing
so he packed he basically goes from me
pastor rule two
just as republicans must learn to live with max increases
democrats must learn to live with
and vote for her
changes in entitlements now by changing right away saying let's be clear what
you think republican among learned earlier with people who are going to be
taxed a lot more democrats must learn to live with people not living
right now is that we're talking about here one of the people dying we still
have the with tax increases and they didn't have to forty
they didn't have a hundred and fifty of the majority of the debt republican
caucus
three times
of the members of republican caucus voted against
and it wasn't even they were even voting for a tax increase they were voting for
a tax cut
uh... they wouldn't even do that
and so he's
he's misstating the reality of couple days you are going on at four fifty used
*** that when you get feeling i wouldn't doubt picked up a table for the
rest of the entire time
uh... you know tightly packed cut up to to put it the don't really want to give
it a little coming up on capital gains when you look at twenty twenty twenty
five
kemon get into the scraps of what would be tax cuts
you lowered collided about thing i want that but you could give them a lot
left allot fewer things
and get everything you want if you'd wait
the assets of apec's and i think i had the perfect for me what everything and i
would will be booked a four fifty
you know if that was what it took to get the debt killing off the table protect
altered benefit programs about being touched
we'll get the estate tax back up to a reasonable place to be
i mean i you will be willing to make that
optima pointer to cut the capital gains taxes that we get it done to you know i
given little things that have been out to be our parties big in the big picture
we did do that
there's arnaldo
now we're being told that we're being scolded the
liberals gotta stand back and allow the president to uh... cut entitlements
i mean we don't want to be difficult earlier actually advocate things we
believe it or again
to get that kind of up to the point of abstraction to where it is
stop people from dying
i guess i'll just have to keep repeating that
because i'm not sure what they shared sacrifice corporate recruiter because in
the end
the beginning of the paradox slippers or
you know only staying at the five-star hotel when the bahamas first sixty
incidents seven
uh... is not the equivalent in the end
of somebody who may feel impelled i could only have two meals per day
antidepressants stunning to me is a sort of like you know why you
even if this is what his perspective is
the problem
what is it that liberals will do ru
by arguing against a continent idleness
well we've got
is exactly what's that
danger here like why is it necessary for the school that means that we're being
old this in such an intense way um... pagano and and what is developed all i
can understand the argument of like
uh... you don't want to win power mit romney you don't want mit romney become
it what what is the danger now
there's nothing back let me know exactly what president obama supposedly once
make me do it you know
but boy
in in this is what what sort of like
rips off of the new year
in those in the lives of these speakers like you don't get the way of our agenda
is what they're saying
they're not saying you're going to empower anything out
the analogy quickly you know when to come in and i had people tell you that
no leverage over obama anymore and i think and i disagree with that
i think if you have obviously that leverage over congress's senators have
to run for re-election yes i do i get one thing that's very clear to me about
president obama he's really care deeply about it like a fake
head
i don't know who is uh... which group of us or whatever but you treat gays were
given to the people you have on your show
do you think of play student from the from the various
uh... blog
think-tanks
on the left and thinking about and we have always what we should have
uh... t_v_ networks a little we're losing one of those
uh...
and then things about our people back in shape opinion
you know i think diplomatic require this kind of whom we didn't really writing on
it like it
pick-up social security medicare dynamic more pushed back uh... that this type of
stuff gets now
in the next two months says these deals are being formulated the better
and i think people should make it clear
you know we're going to be a large part of what departure legacy is not just to
be jonathan alter yeah there are plenty of people progresses in place to let you
know in various places from event in bc to scan the t_v_ and radio show too
the wonderful we actually delivery one
to he'll be replaced that those of us right before indian their blogs your
mainstream publications attitude nineteen ninety-five anymore it's not
even two thousand anymore
it's a different time
and what what do you know what people like a say actually get out there and
i've you know how much i don't know but i'd be willing to make the case because
of allah will take it out for spin
modesty i would like if he does do want to be if you want to be known for the
good of the guy who destroyed f_d_r_'s legacy i'd be happy to break it without
at least right well i think as i still believed that the the real pressure
points that we have now
uh... in the senate and in the house and in
you know i think i think the much more yet but david what we have adequate
obama people at the pentagon that
we've hero leverage but at that long-time well i agree
and headed back down to the obvious
and the number senators
there you go out of one of the earlier max baucus up for reelection two years
you want to have approved you will incur i don't like hearing this phrase in
light of recent absolute willing to shoot a hostage
you know willing to take somebody out of your own side
i think uh... poll but nobody would be max baucus yeah
yeah i agree
agree i think the any the that we have another unit updated we need to go out
and working
very aggressive and the thing is that there is
did you know
uh...
there's there's room to
there's a couple of democratic senators
death that's right
there's definitely we've got that uh... we've got a little bit of alleyway
i will gladly get uh... lieutenant governor napolitano governor alternative
a month
who read again there
uh... our friend uh... what an alternative to help me understand a
losing my mind so
a the
what's going to a mistaken or mark potter coming up in two thousand
fourteen may be altered whatever
abyssinian he was a legitimate guy who came within what one percentage point
remembered or get pretty close to naki ralph obviously there's people out there
you know who can run a good companies some of these guys grew up in two
thousand fourteen and i think we should make it clear
we will not support it
