Effort to delegitimize the speaker.

Were you concerned about that before you made that speech in that form -- that audience.

I wasn't concerned because there's nothing that they can do to be legitimized me there's no skill than that they can find they're gonna try good luck.

And it actually said when he is speeches live a clean life you -- -- court and don't live that you don't have to worry about what you said three mice that President Clinton -- doctor.

In -- Ronald Reagan speaking out against socialized medicine for the AMA AMA -- complete 180 was speaking out for Obama care.

Treat privately insured patients even if you bought a plan like -- -- plan or Cigna plan and paid for yourself.

How will you protect that doctor patient relationship.

Probably by rewriting.

Reflects your values and views the most effectively -- anybody in politics -- a publicly.

I certainly and enjoyed what senator rubio had to say last night.

And I'm sure there are many -- thing coming I young people -- -- and and we'll just have to keep looking and hoping that people are courageous and and forward thinking at a.

Does a message of personal responsibility self politically -- where we've seen President Obama.

Suggesting universal.

Pre kindergarten care basically telling parents that it's not their responsibility.

Repair their children for school but rather the government's I don't think your mother would've -- that message she understood that it was.

For you to do that that we seem to be expanding.

Things that the government can do instead of individuals.

Can a politician stand up and say.

Sorry we're not gonna give you and more programs are suck for you not to I take care of your -- Can sell but we have to start talking about it.

It -- say that that Politico that politically correct police have silence.

-- debate.

We have to create the debate and -- and -- the people who are in the middle we'll have an aha moment to -- Does and yet the speech with the part about your -- -- -- so deeply as a mother of young boys and I'm wondering how can we best limit the government -- away.

That creates a million mrs.

Parsons raising up her sons and herself out of poverty into prosperity how do we do -- We've become Smart voters.

And you know I'm not a lot of people they come to the voting Booth they -- -- there's -- name I recognized.

-- -- voting for that that's about -- -- now.

If I mean if you don't know more than that you probably should just not vote or you need to go teach yourself because you could be voting against yourself and -- it -- a single.

-- -- With everything that it happened that -- come -- to afterwards and say.

I heard you do you think -- heard you -- praying that he did.

If he did you should see some changes in his actions.

-- -- You would tell you you're based in Baltimore he -- you touched on Medicaid earlier and as you know the health outcomes of patients on Medicaid are a lot poorer than they are for private insurance because it underpaid stocks and under his hospitals.

But this is the big debate in states around the country is whether they should expand their Medicaid programs as obamacare.

Requires him to do if you were advising the governor of Maryland what would you tell me do.

With the -- Medicaid expansion.

Well.

I would say we need to start talking about something that makes sense you know that doesn't doesn't take.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to invest a lot of our eggs in something that doesn't work get a -- real quick.

Yeah I'm a former teacher and dean and I just want to know how do we get young people to care about the debt and deficit.

I think we have to give them examples like the one that I gave 507000.

Years that they begin to understand what -- anything.

I'm sorry we missed three people ordinary quick.

-- -- gonna say it's easier to be ignorance and reliance than it is to be responsible and informed how do you change that.
