Tommy Christopher I was telling you earlier about how Tommy Christopher
actually a victoria jones back was reporting on our program and I'd been
telling you
how Tigers for Jay Carney got into it today at the white house tommy is the
media
addiction in the white house reporter for media height
dot com utter carlson's website out there on the interwebs
and Tommy welcome to the program my friend
area affect travel time but did you set up across the web site
now a day I'm sorry you're right that's Daily Caller its dan abrams website
best there you go thank you thank you for correcting me i cud makes it is
during a match but you may use different %uh Kirk are attacking
yeah at backpack okay let's start I I was telling my
my listeners and viewers the but hour and a half ago
that you were that to the best of my knowledge only person ever tweeted a
heart attack let's start with that
yeah well you know i shortages
I did have insurance but they don't wear so I'm is where
and and in the hot in the ambulance on the way to hospital after he had a heart
attack in your forties
you are tweeting about the hot heart attack and Zachary
I was treating during a heart attack while the democrats holy cow
throughout the night outside I thought the only ever had before and I
I thought you know it is at least that if I die it will be a funny story
sapping wreckage could come out of it
yeah well it seems like something good has come out a bit and the conversation
you had they were Jay Carney in the white house cuz
having had a heart attack you have a pre-existing condition that has made you
uninsurable
and to tell us what happened when when
Jay Carney called on you as here your white house reporter you were
you know as a White House briefing Jay Carney is course the the president's
press secretary
now might happen why I asked to move in Iraq
because there's been a lot of I other journalists who have been agitating for
their
White House to negotiate on Obamacare in order to end the shutdown and their debt
ceiling threat 10 so I asked him you know
if appropriate might consider chilling Obamacare per year
if Republicans agree to delay our tax per year and how did he respond to that
well you know i i get the question really
met you get a response yeah he you know he the right outfit that
you know the president's position and you know that there
you know they're obviously there's no they're not going to negotiate let
you know that I they want their bucket have access here for laughter
I was a great line though that was such a great joke you have such years you're
so witty I mean it's just
arm and then and then yeah he tossed it back to you and you pointed out
that you just got insurance
why do I i China up for an account on a health care exchange I haven't picked a
plan yet
mean other I'm also eligible for I insurance through my employer now so I'm
gonna choose between what are the other
with an extra two weeks but II last Sunday I I got for rent
for their %ah sign up it'll be like five try tomorrow I but
site you know I I think my follow-up question might have been hey you know
it I had trouble with their the health care changes should I just resigned
myself to early death yeah
for it turned out that you would have been quite as please that question but
but they def re-appear dick jail after it now
you know I understand that their there the worry about it really i
you know the reason i ask the question whether it was true for all
problem now I'm getting a lot over
heath problems concerns on Twitter of course mmm
who missed the point here at any point it's wise for me text
they have great Obamacare and that's not the point of paper so I don't think
Obamacare straight I think it's a stupid Republican idea
there with the best you could get I so it's not about that it's not about all
written
you know the measures rate what your reasons we ask that question someone
I'm and most important second Irene which have been hearing a lot of noise
about them including something a little like PR
medical device tax in this to be all
Rep I and employees you know in that way when I
who suffer from SJ iron out the lineup that
you know this text I in its are much too I worry about
keeping our public as a fig leaf right you know that if you let them
as you can see anything I love this hostage situation
70 they'll be back in a few months and and trying to back Obama Care again
but the real reason why I said it was because you know that
the there are a lot of not all number of other white house supporters
through working on a story have been adopting
the republican position has their own for their questions a call me about it
and it's been making me very angry because
you know if the their task for 20 questions they ask questions that
de take the republican line I and
I wanted to remind them of what at stake you know because
yeah a how are the guys you know I coming Joe Henry SJ couple weeks ago he
was gonna have Obamacare
even though K are you at all concerned specify which for
right and you know I J they said well you know i i the US health insurance to
ask you not to go
sign up for like a right and you know I think
probably most the people in that room still have health insurance
and don't know what that is like anything so it won't admit they may be
or may not be you know I
they don't have that this your idea what
what's at stake I'll expect people to support for
not support the law after journalist that's not your job
what I think the job to take it seriously I agree I am Sikri and you
know I
a we talked about this on the air on TV last night and and and
a little more extensively at dinner afterwards I
I would love if you can if you're willing to share with our viewers
posters
your thoughts on this state above the national television media
and why it is that's so many people in america think that both Democrats and
Republicans
I have conspired to shut down the government and hold the debt ceiling
hostage
when in fact it has been a small handful of Republicans
who are funded by some cranky billionaires
yet while I prep I wonder if you wanna say that a defect and I'm not just an
issue with the fam i'ma
figured out over CBS I has been the one TV
reporter I think it's an excellent job are you know
for being adversarial as it is necessary but also be fair
yeah I and hand informative I next thing you know he
for our main job is to you know act in the public interest
to inform the public pompeii you know and an hour
the week when we ship there we're representing the people here are people
who don't have a charge
and knock it in that room I and and so yeah it
thriving correct the nationally has gotten wrapped up in
CI the other rock em sock em robots aspect that shell
yeah looking versus democratic one side doing this so
you know of course Obama should negotiate the price you know I
why do I have time I made this analogy a
hi you know I in my eye my website get a date site
Boii no joke I got up to a woman he says hey watch True
she slaps them in any sense well then I guess at or sex at a question about it
or that yeah you know anyway the national media report that will be
warming unwilling to negotiate right I'm
for our section IV it's like this at a reported
and fine it's clearly not that way
it's clearly there you know that the debt ceiling
and advocacy resolution have nothing to do with the health care law
that was fast to you know you know all the you know the drill
yeah yeah I Y and then that's the thing it's it's like the
this what's this hostage situation that that's going on
on a couple weeks here now we are now are 14 days 17 hours into it
we have the its unpaid salaries over two billion eight hundred million dollars
over 800 83,000 government employees out of work over two million 33,000
civilian employees outta work as a consequence of this
and over 194 million dollars in with food vouchers
that have not been paid it's a 194 million dollars where the
I've at risk women and children who are not getting food
all of this could have been ended after the very first day if the National
television media in the United States and simply told the fundamentally true
story
that if john bainer simply allowed the house representatives to take a vote on
the clean continuing resolution the Senate had sent to him
it would probably have passed yeah actually write write something on that
TV last night about how Republican have actually
did that he would not require john bainer to call for a vote that the
republicans change the rules of the house
yes they did on October 1st year was just republicans republicans and seven
democrats
barber Barrow mappy baloney matheson mcintyre and Peterson to the seven turn
go democrats
but they changed the rules to make it so that only Eric Cantor can bring this to
the floor
because with a crew brought any about have occurred about this said it
bill up for a vote right are they are also important meeting jewish yours
iron H&R was just sitting outside why why either way to make sure
that the government stays shut down right
right you know I and that's not fair I was not widely known
site and that's how widely known and that's a failure in my opinion before
the state
yeah are picked I'm but say the fourth the state is also
in as long as this crisis goes on it's been jacking up ratings and it's making
a much more profitable for the television networks
yeah I will be any idea for my website you know it with this
for but probably for my radio show to I but I you know I'm willing to at least
say it out loud
I don't like you know I don't think that the the the media's and Adam also
willing to tell the real story what's going on how absolutely unnecessary the
service
and I think you're creating spectacle to have spectacle in order to have ratings
in order to make money is a terrible thing to do frankly
not say why this whole thing is making me mister khrushchev to understand their
and cannot talk about it later and doctor seuss for for
forty hours in my guest you know but they don't let my health care don't mess
people
security checks I you know yeah I I would much prefer to go back to back to
do that
