then, clinton, we finance. then punk in the middle says, who do you fancy we should buy a used car from? the reason i love this cartoon is that it is incredibly timeless. this is from the 1993 health-care fight. you could fast-forward and you could basically take the affordable care act, obamacare, put it where conservative health care is. you could put in the clinton health care, whatever donald trump has proposed, you could put medicare for all there. the refinance his purpose -- is perfect because that is the critic of the progressive health-care plans like medicare for all. how do you pay for it? it really depicts the challenge we have with health care in the system. we don't have -- we have a series of not. appealing options that are presented by politicians. a lot of it is simply imagining what something could look like if you could finance it in some way. a lot of the cartoons will be looking at this particularly timely. >> the republican car is an old gt. i just think this is the best cartoon i have eve

host: to be clear on the clinton investigation, clinton impeachment, the star investigation was completely done behind -- there weren't public hearings. guest: absolutely. again, that material and what ken star found in that investigation is really what established most of the factual basis for the impeachment. there were some hearings in the judiciary hearing after the star materials were turned over to congress. but by and large, most of the fact-finding part of the clinton impeachment process was done not by congress itself but by ken star. host: we'll remind our viewers and radio lessnessers that have we have linked on the website to the testimonies that have been released. so far you can find that on our impeachment page at c-span.org. rory is next. republican line in california. caller: i have two questions. first, is schiff making up another whistleblower or somebody that doesn't exist? and second, on the impeachment itself, i don't believe it's going to be done, but if it was, i think it's only good for these four years. in the 1960's they had somebody impeached not at the presiden
