democrats are trying to talk about things that would prevent that. some procedural back and forth saying this is never going to get through. i think at the end of the day, they really don't have much recourse. this is going to be on speaker paul ryan. i will say if you'll enjoy me in a show of bipartisanship. there's a golden retriever puppy named biden here. it belongs to a staffer that's a republican but that's biden. >> thank you very much. i know you'll have a very busy day over on the hill. i want to get to the white house where it was extremely busy. kristen welker is there. we were talking about this meeting the president has with these freedom caucus members. our count, right now, 27 republicans who are leaning no or opposed. 21 is the magic number. so the president has to flip at least six of these lawmakers. how is he fine tuning the hard sell given that he has billed himself as the key closer throughout this whole campaign?
