has state senator john tower provide from the great state of wisconsin one of the senators sunny limited call them a wall i call them filibusters senator barbara boxer welcome to the program arabic rajaram thanks for joining us thought senator fitzgerald the one of the more prominent republicans in your state recently had the business say about what scott walker's agenda really was if we win this battle and out the money is is not their under the ask this is all of the union's certainly what you're gonna find of president obama's going to have a much difficult a much more difficult time getting elected and winning the state was passed how do you think the average wisconsin i'd feels announce an and how do you feel by being part of is all things barely been part of a plan to nod scid should to you know deol actor on him meet president obama twenty twelve capital personal comment different group sick career center fitzgerald say that i thought this was about balancing wisconsin's i thought this was trying to bring that's cool responsibility to the state it certainly was not about union-busting it wasn't about taking away workers rights i had nothing to do with delicate apparently it is and what we saw yesterday was uh... a peek beneath the veil of of the republican agenda in handicapping income it's not wisconsin's agenda it's it's time for the national agenda cooked up by i'll bunch of corporate bigwigs who want to privatize the statement a copy contract and that the market's rolled and intrepid republicans at all part of that he should have her state treasurer gives president obama in the end allot of a lot of people in the state of wisconsin last night got booked lied to are they were misled and in the end what happened last night one of the republicans didn't walk up to a sleeping dog in budget awake tick tick tick and i don't think they are aware of la fellow what's going to get them here we also xx words using is next hands are you and the other fourteen thirteen senators who are exercising your constitutional option to deny a quorum to the republicans essentially what hitler as i said i call it a filibuster uh... detailing what he is going to do there's all these rumors flying around right com twelve or if you are a little bit later today pretty picky about and we're going to talk about uh... the options that we have in front of us one of the things we keep in a very close by is first of all when they met last night there might be charged with violating wisconsin's open meetings laws which is very important while on the books in the state and the lawyers are taking a look at that but we do know that one where to go back today nothing in stopping the republicans from calling a thin i hadn't state troopers wonderful poem double i'm calling the housing market in the chambers in voting on the entire bill after they were insert the language so we're very aware of open what they possibly can do obviously we don't trust them because what they did last night there on the record i think they would never do harmful in the and we've got a few options we have to talk about a mystery we want to go from here scott you know the republicans in the united states senate filibuster president obama and the democrats on practically everything that they wanted to do for a full two years after ya although they didn't work some for the discomfort these guys are yeah well equipped with the way we have to look at it rules are different in each state the rules of the state of wisconsin that in order to vote on the fiscal and yet they had twenty members uh... present in the state senate those are the rules abu we did not break it state law we did not violated any rules of the state senate they left us with no option because they were planning to screw in less than a week they love personal option because they were committed a *** they're going to limit amendments related to all sorts of things to try to get this to cover walkers backs and quickly they could so we were left with a lot of so we are exercising power right to number one stand up for hundreds of thousands of people prophesied wisconsin but awful giving people a chance to see what was a mistake and it is the real pizza crap let me tell you will people find out what that the reason why it's so many people are rallying around the capital management and up throughout the streets and liz carpenter because people actually took time to read buttery kerrville and they were astonished and we didn't have to become update your showed up what are some of the things that are in the so-called leisure erbil the now no longer has inherited the budget at least a version was passed last night they had a strip the budget out of it so that they could pass it breakwater what are some of the things in there that you takers defense with senator well rha rebuttal committee would have been for a number of years alright kate great i'd be a lot of of uh... satisfaction in getting at least through the statement of the universe altman transplant political conflict i think it's humbly i mean that that's all health care and health insurance the very important thing to me especially the programs that we have a doctor who was trapped on a very strong bias bipartisan support like their tricare which insurers low-income kids conor and their families senior care which helps our senior citizens who both our schools and go poets with their prescription drug costs slipcover walker does in the budget repair bill is he takes the authority away from the legislature and he told me he is a lot to rewrite the rules without any legislative oversight without any legislative okay yet he has the ability to safe will be eligible will not be eligible so what he's going to do is is going to try to get as many people offer those programs as he possibly can to try and create the money ought to try to ensure delivery tried to prove it at the national level what he is a tough guy october there are people we know people report in a state of wisconsin well for one reason or another another are eligible for these programs that we work hard to get these programs we got these programs under democrat and republican governors and would want wipe it up and he can take off thousands of people so so in order to pay for his expense for millionaires and billionaires inc's literally you can see people dying in wisconsin well you're going to be people going without health care and says with a night or or senior citizens are knocking and cutting prescription actually cut a deal to let me ask yeah try to make their prescription last another committee put in there was he can take state after micro power plant held up normally for the high-stakes breakup secret problem of ongoing really want to have a little bit and wisconsin state senator john or from mark thank you's so much sir for the service you are provided to your statement
