ast would you say to that something that would be a better so of cycling itself around that the teachersan be empowered so that they can empower the students and we can empower the world? again, there is a whole lot here that should be addressed. point onof your specifically education coming into play, i don't have a good answer for you on that. educator, myof an dad was in elementary school principal and my sister is an elementary school teacher. overall, any expert in the world will tell you education is a huge component of how you lift people out of poverty. those who are educated and able to finish high school, able to earn the ability to live out poverty is pretty huge. education, no matter how you slice it, is a huge, important component. host: california, this is wanda. i was justh, wondering, for one thing, why can't the africans, the egyptians, and the arabs dig their own water wells? why are we always trying to fix the unfixable for centuries? it's just not working. why don't we just let them go, sink or swim, that is my opinion. we've got plenty of our own problems, we don't n

this spending bill -- all the ,aste and corruption going on that's the first priority. want to say to some -- as long asans he says he did some kind of deal -- i told youns about this man. he turned his back on you protesting against police brutality. host: moving on to andy in any abou indianapolis. caller: my son work at goldman sachs in 2008 when they went through that whole crisis. he signed off on a lot of those credit default swaps and derivatives because he knew they were backed up by the government. we are going right back to the same thing again. host: the new york times has a little chart here on page a10, talking about berries issues involved in the legislation. doddpoint out. frank. .ampaign finance several callers talking about pensions. we had a pension related guest on yesterday. there is an epa provision that cuts funds for the epa prohibiting the agency from regulating the lead content of ammunition for fishing tackle. one more point about health. 5.4 billion dollars to fight ebola in the u.s. and abroad. the affordable care act largely intact. we are a

ast are we seeing as far action from the administration or otherwise? guest: that is the problem for the government workers. , andrely on the paycheck they are used to being able to pay on a monthly basis. administration is trying to mitigate the effects of the shutdown is that people live in affordable housing complexes. the administration has been trying to work with landlords to give tenants a break because they are not getting the payments they need in order to pay rent. that is one way they are trying to help workers survive what is looking like a lengthy shutdown. the treasury department announcing some irs workers coming back to do business in returns. was that meant to circumvent legislation passing from the house democrats to keep that very thing going as well? guest: one of the bills this week that democrats are planning for the floor is to specifically open the irs. until yesterday, it look like the irs would be able to issue refunds, even if people are starting to file tax returns. the administration announced yesterday they will still be up

ast: nice to hear your voice opposed to reading your tweet. . caller: this is my pleasure. i like them all, but you are my favorite. anyway, the big problem for mrs. button is not the e-mails, it is the clinton foundation. that has been going on now from many sources inside the fbi for about a year. it is going to continue until after the election. , they are going to be continued by the republicans who are on those committees. mrs. clinton is as guilty as sin. hey, if i had to make a bet and i am no betting person, i would think she would probably be our next president. we will have to accept it. thatdy who thinks everything is going to be smooth sailing is wrong. this foundation and all that is coming out through the wikileaks , and all of this i hope you will say something about chelsea and all of the pay to play and how she -- it is full of corruption. they have been that way for so many years. outany of us are just worn with the clinton drama and the clinton corruption. i thank you so much, that i finally got in to say what i wanted to say. host: she often says what sh

ast: to wisconsin, doug is republican. that last comment is, year i look at my property tax i looked it -- back in the history book for our scott walker was governor, i was .aying $2500 a year i am currently paying $1800. $700 is extra money to spend towards my grandchildren. i think scott walker has been doing a great job. i remembered there was an , and didn't a democrat go hide in illinois? i think that is not what i feelve of and believe. that is my comment. the: doug, i am not sure of situation you are referring to, but maybe somebody who does is craig gilbert. re-listening on that last call? guest: yes. he was referring to a controversial piece of the saga when there was a fight over collective bargaining rights, and democrats -- of the only way they could prevent a vote from to flee towas illinois for a few weeks breed host -- few weeks. go to a crowded primary there are two see who is going to take the next shot at taking down governor scott walker. with likely to emerge on the democrat side? guest: the favorite in

has a story taking a look at a long ranging interview that president obama did with assistant mince ast night. -- "60 minutes" -- host: here's the response of president obama. president obama: steve, i've got to tell you. if you think that running your economy into the ground and having to send troops in in order to prop up your only ally is leadership, then we've got a different definition of leadership. my definition of leadership would be leading on climate change and international accord with the potential we get the paris. my definition is mobilizing the entire world community to make sure iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon and with respect to the middle east, we've got a 60 -country coalition that isn't suddenly lining up around russia's strategy to the contrary. they are arguing that strategy and will not work. host: speaking of iran, the "washington post" highlighting the fact that the parliament approved the outline of a bill that would implenty a historic deal. the parliament allows the bill to stop its voluntary cooperation -- laura is up next in birmingham, alabama. caller: y

ast week they moved to a state highway, really close to the pipeline corridor and kind of barricade and were just kind of sitting there to protect that area. and law enforcement came to clear the road, state highway, sheriff's department had pulled in all of these law from other officers jurisdictions, there was a bit of standoff several hours dids not want to move, law enforcement, maybe 200 of trying to push tro testers to move. t one point, a protester allegedly fired a gun. the law enforcement officers spray, rubber bullets, some high-pitched sound evices, things like that to disburse the crowd. t this point, things are relatively calm. it was heat theed thursday. host: being so close to native land, does the interior department have to sign off on the plans? was theo, actually this only federal jurisdiction for this project came with the army orps of engineers, which is part of the army. host: part of the design process and they were at least trying to reach out to the reservation about at least get input? guest: the army corps focuses on water crossings. oil pipelines don't have a

ast: he is making this visit the head of state. what is the significance of that? guest: the pope is a unique figure in the world. he is the head of state of one of the oldest sovereign states and the world and he is also the head of one of the major religions, the catholic church, which has about 1.2, 1.3 billion people. so he brings with him a great deal of attention and a great deal of moral authority, and a great deal of moral curiosity. that is all the interest. you don't see the president of the united states and his wife, or the vice president of the united states and his wife going to andrews to greet heads of state when they come in. you saw that yesterday for the pope. so this fellow, this man has a real reach across the world, and certainly here in the united states. host: what impact do you think he will have on americans, on decision-makers, on lawmakers as they listen to him tomorrow in a joint meeting? guest: he will have a significant impact because he has a lot of moral authority. excuse me. loving,very humble, open, compassionate figure. i think p

as ast: i would just say, christian organization, our motivation for religious freedom is our own faith, and i can speak for myself and our organization, driven by a personal desire to see people know god, but the government should not have a role to push it one way or another, so the government should leave the public square open for people to be free to choose are not to choose as they wish. host: in michigan, this is mohammed. caller: good morning. watcher, and third time on c-span. i wish the guest would dive into the subject more about the abuse is going on with governments, namely china and incarceration of muslims, and what happened in vermont, and all over the world. i like the idea of president trump approaching and speaking about this religious freedom. would -- he would wear other persecution is happening. guest: i fully agree. i will reference the state department ministerial where the administration did point out a lot of issues around the world including china and verma, highlighting china with issues of persecution there. speaking of family members that were detained, so

kelly ast call will be from maryland, we've got about a minute, go ahead and make it fast, please. caller: real quick, i want to the was disappointed by congressman, response to the banning t democrats together to protect, the reason why people don't trust democrats. hen they have the power to actually make some change, they are looking for compromise and compromised them with not looking for compromise. leaveokay, sorry, have to it there. guest: government is the art of compromise, sorry to tell you that. that is what america is all about. surrender your value or ideals, it means we got to come together and have problem, else we solve nothing. to ll not be obstructionist republicans, if we can come together on agreement regardless talking about education, transportation or foreign policy. is the way to go. i've been successful with that now. host: our guest is representative

ast may change as far republican convention. trump's ratings have been going up among republicans but not among immigrants are independents. on the democratic side, we see that the large majority of democrats have a favorable view of hillary clinton. the may have some reservations about her, but most of them like her and intensely dislike donald trump. on both sides, there is a positive view of the candidates but there is a negative view of the candidates on the opposing party. host: we just heard from an independent. how did they factor into this as far as how they look at candidates and who they will vote for? guest: great question. a lot of people in this country called themselves independents like to think of themselves as independents. what we find when we look a little more closely is that the large majority of those independents lean toward one party or the other and the attitudes of those coming toward the party and the behavior of those who lean toward the party are actually similar to the ititudes to those who open in

ast: talk about florida as state. where does hillary clinton have pockets of strengths, and where are some concerns for her? ,uest: well, the battleground within the battleground state is orlando toidor from tampa, and this is a region that has seen some shift in population and voting patterns. it traditionally is where the swing vote happens. the strength for hillary clinton is self florida -- self florida, forthat has been rocksolid president obama the last two cycles. it has also been strong for the democratic nominee for governor in florida. area is becoming more democratic. there has been a huge influx of puerto ricans to that region, which tend to vote democratic, ad that is really where significant battleground is going to take place. however, that area, traditionally, leans more republican in statewide campaigns. so we're going to be seeing a lot of visits from both trump and clinton to that part of the state. today.rlando and tampa the significance of miami? guest: and then miami, she will be coming to miami

the dollar ast -- save havenn as of the currency of the world. have leaders expressed concern over the fact that this was only a short-term bump and could be dealing with the early next year? guest: absolutely. over thethis hanging economy for the next few months. in terms of the u.s. economy, people will worry about this over the crucial spending season. ahead, a new situation we will have to deal with. also, the dollar as the world currency review essentially. parts -- doher other parts of the world have a similar system, a debt ceiling? budget impacts, but usually do not have a government shutdown in a sense. work goes on. there is that difference. for example we have had a lot of budget negotiations in various countries. but is not as big of a deal as it is in the u.s. and there are differences in the way state finances are handled in the meantime. with the associated press, acting bureau of business editor. thank you for joining us this morning. back to calls. here is tracy rumsey lum, west virginia. my husband is a federal worker and went b

ast: did the research come to stop or did some aspects keep going? fortunately, we were allowed to have a few essential employees, but we do fund clinical trials all over the world, but i could not check my e-mail or do anything, and i do not know what i'm getting into. of course the research is being affected. so, it is just really sad. it makes me really, really sad, and it is what we are coming to they year, every end of fiscal year, and it is time something has to change. host: will you prepared january -- would you say more, prepare more? caller: i do not know what my agency would change. as one of the larger agencies, we did our due diligence to making sure that the grants were done in a timely manner, and with the end of the fiscal year being september 30, we have the majority of our work done in the middle of august. we had to prepare for things like this. host: will you personally prepare differently as the end of the year and early next year comes? caller: we have a lot of clinical trials we are funding. we are making sure we are wrapping e

completely mind-boggling that you would say, i don't like the lobbyists, i don't like the let's elect asts, special interest. it doesn't make sense to me. is obviously another businessperson in the race, carly fiorina, who was ceo of hewlett-packard. you would have to think the next time when they do polling, she might end up in the first year of the debate -- first-tier of the debate. i don't think that being a politician somehow disqualifies them. there are a number of governors, governors are here in washington, but running governments and their states. i don't think that is a disqualification in any way. oft: what about the coverage carly fiorina? is she being propped up artificially? there have not been many questions about her business operations being guest: she has about her business operations. guest: she has to talk about being fired. when you get down there in the weeds, they are getting almost no coverage whatsoever. i think this debate performance was one chance for her to get some air time. host: is the coverage of bernie sanders matching the amount of people that are showing

term lynch or lynching actually comes from revolutionary war, a colonial judge, i think in virginia, ast name of lynch, who had this policy to be used against loyalists to lynch loyalists and take their prpt property. is that true? are many of the cities in this country like lynchburg, is that where the name comes from, is that related? and also -- ost: brent, let me let you go, you brought up a couple of points, we want other calls in. fair enough to brent, got a couple points in. go ahead. rol anderson guest: i don't know if the roots of lynchburg, virginia, are because of lynching. i have read where lynching, in fact, does come from the colonialist in virginia. but one of the things that has happened is that while black people were property, killing them was not profitable. but once the civil war was over and you had emancipation, then part of what you see is a wave of lynching that happens in order to reign in this quest for freedom that black people had. one of the things, i talk about in "white rage," the key point is that is policy. it is not bad enough that the lynchings happened

dawn, ast call is democrat. caller: thank you for serving our country. have a very difficult job ahead of you. american, i do not agree we should go into syria. i believe these people have been fighting for decades among each other. it is a civil war. what is going to happen if we strike them? what are we going to accomplish, is the worry here. when we pull out, are they going to continue to fight? i believe there is no solution to this problem. guest: it gets back to the justification for making this strike and how it will affect the long-term goals of the united states with regard to the syrian conflict. that maybe the crucial question. how would this strike fit into the bigger nature? it will help us gain our goals and support our interest in the region. host: let's finish out with three tweets. tranquility.sea of idea we're starting to see is that perhaps the president has asked the target tears to expand the number of targets out there and they include things like the syrian command and control headquarters and probably some of the defense establish

as ast got elected in 2007 city councilmember and became the mayor in any 13. it has been a phenomenal opportunity for me, but also i am blessed to where the second vice president hat of the national league of cities. host: mayor williams on with us this morning to talk about issues facing cities -- not just cities, but the entire nation, the protests happening in cities and the ongoing covid-19 pandemic. we welcome your calls and comments at (202) 748-8001 four republicans. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents and others, (202) 748-8002. you mentioned you are just south of the atlanta area. of the spinoffme of what is happening in atlanta. first on the covid-19 pandemic. give us a snapshot of what it is like in your community. inst: in my community, i am , the dominanty community of caller, if you will. as it relates to covid-19, i am aware it is considered -- i have a vulnerable population. my city is made up of a population of seniors who have retired to this area because of its proximity to atlanta, it also to the airport. covid-19, we have been impacted

ast died in combat in dangerous war.ut with kevin, they feel like they could have saved him and they didn't. one thing i find so extraordinary about mark and carol, we did hundreds of hours of interviews. they knew there would be people out there who would read the book and think of them as failed parents, who would read the book and think, yeah, mark, yeah, carol, you did feel your son. they knew people would judge them, but they at no point did they hesitate sharing these painful expenses, or their own self-doubt or blame. that is amazing to me, because no one wants to be in a position of having outsiders looking in and saying you failed. they are hoping that something this book might -- someone reading this book might realize peoplene person or five or 10 people get that help, whatever blame they may get from other people is worth it. host: christian has been waiting in oklahoma city, oklahoma on the line for democrats. caller: let me finish, because you always hang up on me. i do feel sorry for the settlement, but on

ast: the front page from texas newspaper, if this happened yesterday. said he would destroy -- guest: the rhetoric is very high right now. in my few years in congress, the rhetoric is so high right now. even tap down the of motion. we are trying to solve the nation's problems. is everybody's responsibility to do that. it is a democrat, trump, the people out there protesting. give the guy a chance. you talk about zero honeymoon. . it is just amazing what is going on right now. it is not good for the country. host: you think people think that comment to seriously? guest: everything that is said gets a little too blown up. skill trump has a certain , at saying what is on his mind and that is what people like about him. they don't care about the politically correct, they speak his mind. after yearseshing of politically correct administrations. in many ways you just figured they would like to you. time't want to spend my bashing president obama. there really is a contrast between obama and trump. host: this is an independent call now. go ahead. , your: my qu

ast: i know this is taking lot faster. we'll take 17 days from the committee to meet? it seems like a long time from right now. guest: that is what i went back and forth with dr. marks on. the fda is really intent on ensuring public trust in this process. that is probably the top priority. they don't want it to appear to anyone on the outside that they are rushing to a vaccine without gathering the independent group of experts to look at the data and to vet it themselves. they want to go through it with eight transparent way. the upshot is that it takes time, dr. marks calculates they are moving as quickly as they can while going through all the steps of the process. they need to prepare briefing documents for the committee members that go through all this data. these are massive studies of tens of thousands of people. there have been a lot of data points to sift through, and the agency's primary responsibility is to make sure they are not missing anything in the data set, and that takes time. host: give viewers a number to call in with questions that you might have on

ast: 20 think it has been focused on the governor as it has been?- why do you think it has been as focused on the governor as it has been? caller: i think having to complete -- compete with hillary clinton is a scary thing for them. host: that is spencer, oklahoma. giving his talk this morning. about the rnc winter meeting that is taking place. us,he phone to talk to james hohmann. thanks for joining us. guest: good to be with you. the start of the meeting. that is in connection with the march for life. what is the connection? republicans are a party that opposes abortion and would wadeto overturn roe versus , so a lot of their key committee members and state party chairs spent yesterday marking at the -- marching at the capital. is an issue that republicans ran into so much trouble within the 2012 elections. two senate seats were lost because male republican candidates gaffed as they were talking about their position on abortion. host: how will this issue play out? --st: it will be similar viewers have seen this before where democrats are going to

ast: let's hear from dale, republican. caller: good morning.you guys@c-span continue to do a good job. you make them look good. this story is not as dramatic as what we are experiencing now. a large years ago, pharmaceutical firm was found guilty of medicare fraud and i think they pay the largest fine, $300 million. the whistleblower was an employee of the company. his cover got blown in the course of this. journalist in speaking to the whistleblower said the pharmaceutical company actually treated him better than the doj. the doj treated him basically like a street snitch. i guess this is not news to you. it was appalling to me. doj does note matter who is in the white house. they do not have a lot of regard for people who are engaged in this. unfortunately what you are saying has much truth to it. thatovernment agencies should be helpful to whistleblowers often shut their doors. that is just the way it is. that is why strengthening the laws are important. congress has made some adjustments in the private sector. they have required the irs to

doctrine ast have a the others do for offense and defense? guest: it is developing. there are some rules of the road beginning to form. how it plays into the sony situation is the question of what constitutes an act of war in cyberspace. what would be an action that a country or group could take against us that would be so significant that the military would recommend that the president have some sort of response that might even involve cyber operations, a kinetic response. we do not have a lot of doctrine around that yet. it is generally agreed that a cyber attack on a system that causes physical damage, like a blackout or destruction to major communications systems, that might rise to something that the aesident would consider hostile act. but the doctrine of the rules are of engagement are forming around that. we do not know the rules in other countries. when we talk to china, what would we do in your cyberspace that we would consider hostile, and here is what we would consider hostile. the chinese are not telling us a lot. we are not having a two-way conversation

ast: i want to give eric chance to talk about trade school education and how charter school graduates are faring in higher education. guest: i do not have an answer one.e second i don't know if there is research on how charter school graduates perform in college versus students who go to a more traditional public school. there is a renewed interest in vocational training. communityoned, colleges are very popular with the public. i think there is a big push to get students to consider, do you need a four-year education for your career goal, or can you go to the community college or technical college and get that six-month certificate, one-year program, or two-year degree to put you on the career path you want? host: elizabeth from pennsylvania. a parent. i, my name is elizabeth martinez. i am the parent of a college student who graduated four years ago from a private university. when he was attending, because of our income, my husband and myself, he was not available for student grants. that being said, we used the parent plus route for his college education. a couple of years later he

ast group is being looked at , another group of the federal government may step in and try to create plan to move them, but that has not happened yet. is what is sothat distinctive about isle de jean herees -- here is a money, is the program, and we are doing it. host: stacy is on the democratic line. caller: which is wondering why they are on refugees when they are american? i think the government is responsible for poppy locating them to another profitable land. the caller glad thought that appeared climate refugee is -- it does not have a legal definition. it is the term being talked about and when you use it, people understand, it is a person displaced due to climate change. these people aren't leaving the u.s.. they're not going to another country. so, it does not have that legal refugee claim to another country. this is how government officials , you saw secretary kerry refer to them in that way, but this is a term that is going to be hotly debated. the question of whether it will get a legal definition is an open one. the 100% term would be people displaced by climate change.

it but i was just exploring what could possibly be a triggering event or making us respect eotmore astur institutions and may that kind of an event will be celebrated all over the country it was sort of a renaissance of finding common ground and reduce the toxic nature of things. that is what i hope for. host: another book was titled donald trump, the most negative president of all time. i want to find out why you cite him as such and he will be president in 2026. can this renewal happened with him as president in your mind? guest: that is one of the open questions. i wrote that carefully and i am not a partisan journalist or person. i have covered seven presidents. the other thing i wanted to say before i go back to trump is the democrats have done the same thing over time. they have been very toxic in their politics, so it is not just republicans who do it, although i do think donald trump has exceeded and have gone beyond the guardrails of too much toxic politics. he has built a base of support and in the recent election the country was basically divided in half. trump cording to th

ast: all right, let's get him cut in south dakota? i think we will try james. james is next. james, hello, massachusetts? high. hi. caller: i'm unsure. i don't know about the things coming out with the fbi in what everyone has been doing to trump the whole time, but i'm very pessimistic at the media will not report it properly and that people are not going to find out what's going on. i think what is going on is a shame and it should be changed. i think obviously there are some problems. with you guys, too. you correct people or you censor the news, like the mainstream media. host: we do not censor news, we only read from newspapers. caller: i will give you an example, if you don't mind. there was one show on about how al-baghdadi was killed. you guys cited the washington post every day for the last five years, but you didn't cited that they said he was an austere religious scholar instead of a terrorist. it made the washington post look better than it was at that time. host: i don't see that as censorship, you may have read it from another newspaper. don't tell you people wh

ast i don't understand is far as the republican party is concerned, they have lost all credibility. the implicitly and hypocrisy of being the public and party is staggering. for a candidate such as donald trump to now be in the white daughter to have his and his son-in-law -- this is nepotism at its highest. and it is happening in real time. and right in front of us. it is like a slow-moving car crash happening. and it is staggering to think of calledlican party who themselves on the constitution and they tout themselves as being patriotic with america first and all of that nonsense but the man that they have as their spearhead in the white house, this guy is going to ruin the country and he is going to make nixon look like child's play. with what he is doing. i am just watching this and i am stunned. if barack obama had done 1/10 of what this guy has done in 60 days? i mean, it is just hypocrisy. it is mind blowing. host: thank you. the white house gave a statement announcing that ivanka trump is now moving into the west wing and will be part of what the white house said. they said

ast: we saw investment in previous administration. what is the connection? guest: a lot of things have been learned over the years as to how to make energy efficiency part of our everyday lives, how to use new technologies that have been discovered over the past five years, and past 10 years, to make solar more efficient and affordable, to make wind power more affordable and efficient, to find ways to use nuclear power, to use energy that is cleaner than the energy we are using. look how dramatically different the natural gas industry is in america now than it was 10 years ago, because of technology. we have to constantly use new technology to address the future for our country. and do it in a way that makes our lives better, not worse. most of us recognize that climate change is a reality. let's use technology as a way to advance the environment, the economy, and our foreign relations. host: you belong to a caucus known as the climate solutions caucus. is this a, nation of democrats and republicans? combination of democrats and republicans? guest: yes. i'm

ast: let me ask you about "washington post piece."t said president-elect donald trump is waffling on health care. part of the piece says -- care out-of-pocket. such a deduction is worth more to people with higher tax rates. by a without coverage repeal are lower income individuals with tax rates that are already well. the benefit they receive from the deduction does not come close to the financial hit they would experience from the repeal. it would cause 20 million people to lose coverage. is he wrong? are people who are lower income at risk? guest: he is. the figure 20 million people will not lose their coverage. millionon of those 20 are the low income people to whom david cutler refers and they will not lose coverage. they receive medicaid. medicaid is not going anywhere. in terms of the other 5 million, some will receive subsidies if they are in the high risk pool. the federal government will step up to make sure they can afford , despite pre-existing conditions. that leaves a couple of million other people. for them, congress and

ast: how about the posture homeland security reporter here in washington, new york, other large citieshave they made much of a change since paris? guest: there have been moments -- perhaps not moments, but a step up in security york city. that is something that happens often after a vince like this. they will often step up security efforts. asked that people do games thisags into sunday. they will be on alert, obviously. one of the targets in paris was soccer stadium. generally speaking, life goes on normally here, as normally as perhaps it can with people still shocked that it happened in paris, and the constant concern that it happened in paris, it could happen here. host: alicia caldwell, homeland security reporter for the associated press. thank you for your time this morning. to lacey, a west virginia caller, good morning. caller: with all the scandals with hillary and obama, why isn't anything being done about them? they are leading us into a situation that can be as bad, if not worse, as what is happening in paris, france right now. host: bob from georgia, go ahead. caller: i ju

ast: our guest is matt kibbe, graduate of grove city college.educing thebout stranglehold on american -- by the government. always abuses their power eventually. every single time if they can do something, they will. guest: i think that is what we are learning. we are learning at the hard way. people that are skeptical of this lawsuit because we are suing barack obama, inc. about a --ld where you are giving in think about a world where you give unlimited discretionary power to ted cruz or rand paul. do you want that? i don't think anybody wants that. the whole point is that the individual comes first. the three branches of government are designed to keep each other in check. it is clear that the executive branch has done way beyond the intentions of congress on this question. you are saying republicans and democrats start to raise questions. that is medication that something needs to be done. host: i want to turn to politics in a moment. karl is on the phone from chicago. democrats line. caller: how are you doing? i hate to say this -- he is a p
