bill, it is pages. not 2700 pages written behind the closed doors over there that was harry reid's office will stop only 118 pages and what it does is actually do the things people want. the mandates, taxes, penalties that come with obamacare. it provides protections for people who have pre-existing conditions. protections for people against limits on how much they can gain if they get very sick and protections for kids and families and children under the age of 26 so they can stay on their parents plant. i would just say, take a look at this, read it, you will find out complete our promises in repealing the health care law, providing a smooth transition. a smooth transition which is what people deserve. nancy pelosi famously said, 1st avenue deposit before you get to find out what is in it with their 2700 page bill. 100 -- 118, read our page bill that was put up with the house. it is a much that are way. >> last week i had the opportunity to speak with general brooks who is the head of u.s. forces korea. over the weekend we saw once again what is happening in north korea as it relates to the continued
