host: all right, elise viebeck, with henry cuellar, -- with "the hill," thank you very much.rom politico this morning, a couple of pieces about what is going on behind the scenes and the thinking on strategies on the democratic side. the calculus is straightforward host: then on the republican side from politico, this is what dick sherman writes host: now it is your turn to weigh in on these numbers that were reached by the data released by the white house. william, you are up first, florida, democratic caller. go ahead. caller: yes, good morning. i think this is much ado about nothing. the program will work. people just need to stand fast. most of the yelling is coming from the republicans because of the fact that we all know that they do not want to fix this thing. but if they were so concerned, they would have worried about hundred thousand, 300,000 in their own district needed medicare before they started thinking about the 1% that started sending me letters all it the same time, saying that we are losing our coverage and everything. people losing their coverage for month

my dear friend bill flores and to doc hastings, chairman of our committee, appreciate so much henry cuellar's comments. the truth is we have been working on this for a long time and mr. flores has gotten it here, this is fantastic, because we need jobs in america. we need more of our own energy in america. and this bill helps us do that. i've gotten into discussion with one of our colleagues across the aisle who is now down in the senate and i brought this up to him in previous years. look, if a state has a regulatory body addressing the issue, has cleaner air, cleaner water, is doing the job, then let them do it. let's don't add another layer of bureaucracy that takes away jobs. it slows the economy and i am very grateful that it looks like we're going to pass a bill that creates jobs instead of these job-ending things that have been happening down the hall and down pennsylvania avenue. so i applaud my colleagues. i applaud my friends that support this bill. this is going to help america. thanks so much, i yield back. the chair: the gentleman's time has expire. the gentleman from new jersey
