shouldn't he say, president obama, that dennis kucinich and i were pals and want a single payer system where the federal government provides health care for a fee, based upon income. this is what we want. that is why we're doing obamacare thing. why doesn't he just be honest about whot goal is? >> what the president developed is not a single payer system. he wants that. >> this is for profit, bill, it's not not. >> but they don't want it to be for profit. this is the first step. >> you're looking at the author of a bill that would provide for not for profit health care. >> yeah. you. >> and everyone would have affordable care. this proposal president obama put into law is for reform within the context of a for-profit system saying there are ten essential services including e.r.care, maternity care, preventative care that ought to be covered. so it's a little bit different. >> you know, you're dodging the question. you know what the ultimate goal is. your bill. that is what the president really wants. he couldn't get it. it's too radical. >> let me give you a reason why not. because pre

if dennis kucinich is your idea of an honest liberal your country is in deep trouble. nonsense. he's sincere. o'reilly, don't you know an honest liberal is an oxy moron? from california, karl rove blew the call on last year's election. why should i care what he thinks now? he's made more b accurate calls. from texas, bill, you won't say the president lied but you point out he knew insurance companies would have to cancel policies. not exactly what i said, jim. my point was that the president didn't understand the law but in general he wants private insurance companies under the the heel of the feds. that's true. he wouldn't say that. william wells, millner, georgia. you often brush off e-mails as being too far right. maybe some of us are are. i think you are successful only because you are wedged between two bright and beautiful women. i'm sure greta and megyn will appreciate that. you sound gallant. but we have been here for 17 years. they have been in place for four weeks. i'm sorry to use logic on you. don from charlotte, north carolina. laura ing ram is wrong saying conserva

joining us now is jackie kucinich of "the washington post" and sam seeda host of "the majority report." sam, the republican governors are wrapping up their two-day strategy session out in arizona expressing lots and lots of love for themselves. but where does this leave poor paul ryan? because, you know, a man who was the vice presidential pick now dismissed because he wasn't a governor. >> yeah. i mean, i think it shows just how much this sort of national republican brand is incredibly toxic for these governors. you know, they're worried about their own re-elections. i think 22 of the 36 up for re-election in this round are going to be republicans. they're concerned that they're going to be tainted by the republican brand and i think it is a legitimate concern. >> right. jackie, here is paul ryan speaking to "the wall street journa journal". take a listen. >> there is a lot of discussion among republicans. you hear it all the time. that the next republican nominee for president in 2016 has to be a governor. has to be somebody like a chris christie or scott walker or john kasig. do yo
