colorado, as one who follows sports your interview with anderson was one of the best, he said he buried hollywood alongside his drug past. and bill guys are funnier than laurel and hardy. while they're rolling over, i appreciate the praise. and alabama, bill, i switch channels when miller comes on, he is so silly, you both act like high school boys. you know that is an upgrade to what we sometimes get. fifth grade up to high school. and i guess that means you wouldn't come to the boulder shows, a shame, they're a blast. march 14th, we'll be in pittsburgh. and buffalo, the next day, saturday april 26th. honolulu, the 10th the details on o'reilly.com. and shame on you, bill, attacking jesus like you did. are you a prophet? stay out of religion. well, i took your advice, there is no religion in the book "killing jesus," you know you might want to read it before embracing hysteria, madam. and got it by becoming a premium member, bill, smart move, if you guys sign up or re-up for a premium member, you not only get a free book, but also get lis wiehl's brand-new snap shot. and humboldt, texas, my mom just turned 102. wow, happy birthda

anderson? >> i want to bring in somebody who has personal experience on this. former house speaker newt gingrich host of cnn's crossfire. you have a wonderful story with billlinton in 1996. >> we had been through the big fight. the government was closed. is was a real brawl. he comes in, walks up, you'll see he gives each the vice president and the speaker an envelope. and he gave me a second envelope. i open it. it said, speaker newt beginning rain from william jefferson clinton, you're right, i resign. i broke up laughing. i showed it to gore. clinton said oh, i gave you the wrong envelope [ laughter ] >> that's the sort of stuff that broke the ice and let us get beyond fighting to working. >> i'm always interested when you watch these speeches how democrats stand up and republicans. was there ever a moment, do you like as they're saying it do you ever think this is one i'm not going to stand up on? >> sure. you're always weighing in your mind. you have to be nice because you're the host. and it's a national event. second, you can't stand for something so outrageous that your own side will kill you. on the other hand, if he recognizes a military hero eve

anderson in the meantime. >> let's continue our conversation here. she was saying that the gop has affordable alternatives on health care. do they? because that's the criticism. >> sure. you just had a bill introduced this week by several senators. but it's true across the board. you just had today two senators introduce new bills to provide health to children. the fact is, there are a lot of positive things the coming down the law. some of them are small, eliminating funding for conventions and putting it into pediatric research. >> do you think it's possible to repeal the accordable care is that correct >> you can step by step replace the parts that don't work. even the president said if you have specific fixes, come see me. i think it would be very interesting if they passed a bill that was entitled the obama promises act. you can keep your doctor, you can keep your insurance. >> paul krugman, do you believe that they have proposals? >> that bill would have destroyed employer based insurance for at least 6 million, maybe 10 million. so it was a far worse than anything that's happening under obamacare. i was amazed by that republican response. i kept waiting for the thing to start. whe

bills. they're now being asked to provide coverage under obamacare's costly employer mandate which anderson county fire chief mike barnes said might force them to lay off personnel and leave communities without adequate fire protection. while fire departments work tirelessly to provide essential safety services, we must do everything we can to ensure that our emergency services volunteers are not forced to be counted as full-time employees under obamacare, it's a cost they can't absorb. the project of obamacare is the project of the entire obama presidency. it's a project to determine whether or not big government can solve big problems. it's a project to determine whether or not the federal government can micromanage one sixth of the american economy. with this issue, with these volunteer fire department, we find out once again that obamacare and the project it embodies is an abject failure. thank you very much, i yield back the balance of my time. mr. barletta: mr. speaker, can i have a time update, please? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman has 10 minutes. mr. barletta: i would like
