Now, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is indicating that he wants to still hold a vote on straight Obamacare Repeal this week. Even knowing that it might fail. President trump responding to the collapse in congress this afternoon. Let obamacare fail, it will be a lot easier. I think were probably in that position where it will just let it fail. Were not going to own it. Im not going to own it. I can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. Well let obamacare fail and then the democrats are going to come to us that when to say how do we fix it, how do we fix it. Or how do we come up with a new plan. So, well see what happens. I see with the president is going with this, and it sounds a lot like somebody recommended this to him. But this is different than what we heard from Sarah Huckabee sanders in the press conference. I heard a lot of obstruction. Ive got to tell you i wasnt impressed with that argument. When youre the leader of the free world, it your job to work around obstruction. Ill give you that. Weve been saying this on this show, weve been saying this, they need to repeal this right now. An agreement that this is not the right contour, because we dont have good replacement for it, it needs to be repealed. It will forever be on record saying that you voted against repealing obamacare. And i pull up a fullscreen of those senators, and the top but that quickly. Shelley capito, lucy collins, two of the three of them voted to repeal it another saying theyre not going to. I will tell you, they will get primaries, all three of those will be primaries, they will get lost in primaries if they vote against repealing obamacare. The repeal without a replacement, is that just a political statement at that point . I think that it would be at this point because they know that they dont have the votes. I think they said they were going to repeal it. Well meet today specialist now. Shes a columnist for the washington times, a former white house spokeswoman for president george w. Bush and a radio host with her husband, matt, and she specializes in cooking big human meals. Mercedes schlapp is here. And he was a speaker at the 2016 Republican National convention, he is also a frequent guest on the Fox News Channel and hes the chairman of gopac, but he specializes in being a good listener. What a good quality. Thats how he gets all his info. David avella is here with us again. I was kind of disgusting, i get the notion of repealing obamacare. I have been one of the staunchest critics of these skyhigh premiums that hurt all americans. But what you see the g. O. P. Going on that issue . Theres a huge sense of frustration, obviously, coming out of congress, nothing able to bring both moderates and conservatives to the table to get the job done. This is why republicans were voted, and there was a clear mandate of repealing and replacing obamacare. Because when you look at the fact that there is a destabilization in our individual Insurance Markets, thats troubling. When you have the fact that youre still seeing premiums continue to rise, i mean a family of four next year will, it will increase to 40 in terms of what their Health Care Costs will be in many cases. Ebony, it is troubling. The mere fact that many republicans cannot come to that middle ground, where you see this division amongst moderates and the conservatives, i think that its just a disturbance for the American People. They are not fulfilling a promise. Im hearing from the president , and also, really, from the g. O. P. In its totality, a lot of criticisms among the democrats. Nothing that is fair and that is accurate. But first things first, before you ask, does the g. O. P. Have to get on the same page with this . At some point, republicans and democrats will have to go home to their constituents and explain, when they said last year during an election that we are going to repeal and replace, or reform, if you are a democrat, or obamacare, what they thought that meant. And so much of this discussion of, why its a disservice to the American People, is all about how many people the government is going to pay for in giving the medicare. It says nothing about the fact that there are doctors every day not accepting new medicare patients. So what happens to those medicare patients . They dont continue to get coverage. We havent talked about the things that really need to start happening in health care reform. We need innovation, we need consumer predictability and freedom for them to pick the plans they want. We need states, not the federal government running the Insurance Markets. We dont allow states to sell insurance policies across state lines or how about letting states actually dictate what their policies are going to be. But why didnt the republicans speak up because i think a budget reconciliation, you cant do that. You and i are good friends. You know we can go ahead what im telling you they can go nuclear on this. You really want to go nuclear . If the democrats when the house in the senate, you dont want to go nuclear. Were going to end up with this. Were going to end up with may be no repeal and no replace, and if they just go nuclear on this, this is what they couldve done. They could have added things like competition. It would forever change, historically, how the senate would be run. Who cares . I care. There are rules. This is not constitutional. Theres nothing in the constitution that present if its Going Nuclear on this. Theyre turning the senate body into a similar combustible majority on this election. Elections have consequences for its because they do. And the democrats would probably decide to go nuclear because they have in the past. There is president for. Thats one of the the big, wee talking about going across state lines, everybody has talked about it, when given the opportunity, im very surprised and disappointed that the g. O. P. Didnt take that opportunity. I agree with eric on this. I think the consequences wouldve been far less than what the reward would have been had that been in place. Heres the next step. Next step ought to be we are starting to move forward on these things and putting pressure on the eight democrats were up next year. Joe mansion, joan donnelly, getting pressure on them, adding them to the 52 republicans against the 60 on things that people can agree on. I agree with eboni that although you can frame some of this data democrats, i guess thats fine. But the republicans have control of the house and the senate and the president is republican. Can you imagine if any other entity in the entire universe ran the way that congress is running . Imagine if you had a Mechanic Shop where they just tell you that your car is broken and you drop it off and they say well, we dont know how to fix it, but its definitely super broken and we know that. A doctor that just tells you youre sick but doesnt know how to make you better . Can you imagine anybody else getting away with it . Its absolutely insane. Theyve had seven years here. Lets just give you a very simple way to get this done. You get these three senators, or get one of the democrat senators who are, who won, but trump one in the state. West virginia, right . West virginia at trump won 40 points. Now you have a senator there whos going to run, who should come over. Heres i have to do. Repeal, right . Repeal now. Get the repeal underway and they go to these democrat senators and glowing look, youre up for reelection in a state that trump holds. Youre when you lose your seat unless you vote along the lines of what the republicans put forth as a replacement. Which is where President Trump is at and where Mitch Mcconnell is at. I think theyre saying its less about time and more about the quality of the reform. Theyre saying, lets move on repeal and then take the two years to have the hearings and to get to that point. However, the American People cannot wait any longer. We need significant changes now. I think that if they keep postponing it, i mean, theyve had eight years to think through what has to get done. We need to have significant entitlement reform especially in the area of medicaid. We need to move it back to the states. But repealing without a replacement satisfies what youre demanding which is i think with the American People want what they mandated with this election. Let me go back to what you just said, though, youre talking about ways to fix this in terms of votes. I think it would probably work. But what if, instead of talking about the need to get more votes to get it passed, we actually approve the policy itself and then the boats would take care of themselves. Exactly what youre talking about. More things that conservatives complain about obamacare, competition, drug prices, why can you produce a drug in america and its cheaper to buy in canada . Drug pricing, and hospital pricing and transparency. Those are for things we said obamacare didnt have, but guess what, neither did the g. O. P. Replacement bill. Thats a problem. Now, mercedes, this is where i love it. The only way youre going to get those things and there is by using the Nuclear Option. And guess what, that becomes a bill that becomes good for the American People instead of a bill that, for the vast majority of people who are using obamacare, its going to be a higher premium if it stays that way theyre trying to sell it to us. Will Mitch Mcconnell moved toward the Nuclear Option . Its unlikely, but in this sort of congressional cycle that weve seen, anything is possible, at least with what were seeing. Can i just say, what i see here, its a risk. And i understand that when youre talking politics of the steak and make it to those risks feel nerveracking. But i think its a risk that would pay off. I think there is a lack of boldness coming from the republican side in the sense that you had the 2015 repeal, 48 republican supporting the repeal and now they are backing away. There was a grandstand vote as opposed to, now its highrisk, its time to make that move by the republicans. And im disappointed, quite wrinkly i wish they could get to a point from a conservative and moderate standpoint where they can agree. But conservative state doesnt go far enough. The moderate say its gone too far. Can we at least acknowledge that its paul ryan and the house question works because they got it done. They got it done. Got what done . They passed their bill. It was ugly, it was harmful, they watered it down. From the Senate Leadership side, they cant get through. Dont forget, the senate bill has to go back to the house. Donald trump is 100 right. They failed the American People. But not in the voters minds. It will be the republicans who failed. It will be. Its easy to blame Congressional Republicans, but let me say this. We are a party that believes in the States Running things. We had to be for repeal as a governing philosophy. Basing our success upon what laws we repeal and not what laws we pass. And under that scenario, we had to be having state after state send legislation and waivers. But thats not happening. Allow them to do away with it. Speak up thats not happening, not without a bill. And now we have an opportunity to move in that direction. Its not over yet. There are three who say theyre not going to. John mccain might be coming this way. But if they get to these people to change their minds and sign onto this, it can still be repealed and do exactly what you said. Go state by state and get waivers from obamacare. We can do that now. And then you got two years to fix it. No, you cant do it now. States can get waivers. They push through about 12 of these regulations, things, we never saw those waivers come true fruition under president obama. But secretary tom price dead. Thats better . No, i thought it seemed to be the wrong approach. I believe that action is needed now in terms of repealing and replacing obamacare. It is that a perfect bill but it does allow for entitlement or to form, it does stabilize the Insurance Markets, the individual Insurance Market which is to the areas that need to be fixed. Everyone keeps talking about getting more g. O. P. , more republicans in congress and i think about if and i dont even know that means. I dont know what being a member of the g. O. P. Or be the republican even means when you look at a bill like this. We say things like small government, thats not a small government bill. We inherited a mess with obamacare. You have to decide whether youre going to put a bandaid on it. That language is not going to fly at this point, mercedes. G. O. P. Controls the house, the senate, and the white house. They had seven years to get behind a conservative Health Care Plan that brings down premiums, right . And thats not we are seeing out of the house of the senate bill. Thats very simple. They should have said something instead of getting people to vote for them. Speak theres a process called amendments and one a minute that could work is the lee amendment which would allow for the Insurance Companies to come up with their plans that actually dont have to fit the obamacare situation, but that gets tricky with individuals that have to deal with preexisting conditions. It also allows for Health Savings accounts which would be a conservative amendment, to be used to lower the premiums. That something that, basically that ship has sailed. So lets talk about something that hasnt sailed yet. Should we plan the funeral servants . I havent decided. Speak with the repeal its not over yet. Theyre still an opportunity for people to come around and say you know what, i voted for this thing in 15 because it was politically expedient for me to do it, but now when the chips on the table, lets get back to the table and i want to do what i did before. Weve had two years to fix obamacare without it being obamacare. Speak up better be ready to really roll up their sleeves and to work on it, because i got to tell you. It can look like an easy way out to repeal with no replacement. But dont come up and say no, we didnt do anything. Too late. Straight ahead though, up, officials prepared to face investigators over unmasking, and the number of investigators may be growing. Stay with us. Im ryan and i quit smoking with chantix.

That your business is our business the United States postal service. Priority you amid the hysteria among donald trump juniors russian controversy, the probe into unmasking by officials or on the 2016 election has very much heating up. Fox news is now confirming that samantha power, the former u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Has agreed to testify before the House Intel Committee at a date to be determined. Among other top obama officials appearing behind closed doors on capitol hill this week, over unmasking and the russia pro, former National Security advisor susan rice is now slated to speak with the senate intel committee. Im going to go to you, eboni, because im trying to figure out why the delays, why theyre finally agreeing, and why in the world are they doing this behind closed doors question . Will start with that one. Many people wanting to see them, just like weve seen several others recently out in front of the viewing public. But i think the goal is to get the most information and the most powerful information behind closed doors, thats the only chance. If they were in front of the American People youre not going to get anything. Zilch, nada, from powers or susan rice. And kat, on march 22nd, nunez said that trump aides may have been inappropriately unmasked. Also said susan rice may have broken the law by unmasking. Its the unmasking inappropriately of general flynn, that were talking about. For me there are two issues here. One is potentially yes, that it was inappropriate. I think she acted in a politically motivated way. You have to look at her past and know that. But i also know, which is something that eboni brings up all the time, that there is, the standard is so wroth that its a very easy cover free to do something political he motivated, citing theres another issue which is to look at what those standards are. I know that senator paul has said that if you are going to be unmasking a politician or candidate you should have to go to a judge and sign up for that which would be a great way to prevent these politically motivated actions. What in the world would susan rice think that it was important to unmasked general flynn when the nsa, the fbi, and the csi had done their Due Diligence and didnt think they needed it. Thats exactly the underlying question. Is there a political behind thi this . But the person to watch here is samantha power, and its because when youre looking, my information is that the Intelligence Reports are basically very telling. While we might not get a lot from these closeddoor meetings, to use a big lot of lawyerly terms, i think you will see that its in this Intelligence Report that thats where theyre going to find a lot of this information. Do you think they emailed someone and said hey, look what ive got her . I think that the Intelligence Committee will have that information, and the person to watch there is samantha. Some other new separate this afternoon is that Dianne Feinstein said she had spoken to special counsel Robert Miller and he was okay with donald trump, jr. , and paul mena for testifying in an open hearing. It will be interesting and insightful, but i must say, when all this news came out, president obama mustve went, oh, my gosh, every time she says something she raises more questions than answers questions. I dont think so at all. If you watch any show she was on, she raised far more questions about the actions that happen in that white house, who knew about what was going on, and in a white house that was politically motivated as that white house was, to think that she was the only person that knew about these unmasking, it requires a suspension of reality. What im saying is, i completely agree with your analysis, but hes not pounding his head. He is probably thinking, this is exactly how we planned it. Susan rice is very wellpositioned, probably along with loretta lynch, to be the best place to fall women for the Obama White House because they are put in a position to where a lot of the Unanswered Questions and sketchiness of politically motivated things that came out of the Obama White House fall on them, and the consequences they have at this point are going to be very small. So youre saying ultimately they are counting on these ladies not to tell the truth. Thats exactly right. Theyre not going to give all the information out. They went in knowing many of these secrets kept by the Obama Administration and that something. Two other points here we need to look at. One is, who, for example, susan rice possibly shared this information with. Youre only supposed to have that intelligence information for yourself. Did it go further into other officials . The second question is, going back to the leak to the press. That goes back to the leak of the press. But we do we know that she did it . We cant prove it. We dont know the answer to that question, but that is the fundamental question of this unmasking, which is, how did these leaks get to the press, and whos responsible for that . Call me seems to like to get some stuff to the press. [laughter] lots of information. So if it wasnt politically motivated, then what in the world else would a political appointee in the white house have an issue with trying to find out the name of general flynn as an operative . Speak up as i said i agree with you, it probably was put ugly motivated. Differences you cant really prove that. Ill just to do is say it provided some foreign intelligence value and shes covered. She can also say that she did it for context. Thats a nice catch all. Context for National Security. She said i can understand how this possibly relates. That sounds like the standards are too broad. Heres the deal. Sounds like something the cia should handle and not the National Security council. You know what else we need to understand here, and correct me if im wrong, but when youre testifying in front of congress, youre not really liable for anything. You can lie to congress on the hill and correct the record later and everyone says, okay. You corrected the record. You can lie to congress. You sure can, and i agree. I think if youre going to testify in any open citing it should be under the wager of perjury. Eric mention the news that came out about call me. The other news that came out today as john roberts, we found another person in this eric trump meeting. How many people were at this meeting . Are we the only five people that werent in this meeting . How secretive was this meeting supposed to be . Speak of the thing that bothered me about it is the story keeps changing. Im with kat. Russian real estate develope developer. Why decline that he was there then customer it wouldve been critical for the lawyers to just be upfront. If youre already going to go out there and talk about this, you should just be upfront and share what happened, or share the details of the meeting. Straight ahead, trump slopping around with the sanctions but also grudgingly recertifying iran with the nuke deal, and what that means for the u. S. And iran clash over the middle east.

The Trump Administration is set slapping new sanctions on iran that targeted Ballistic Missile programs and support for terror organizations. But the administration is also reluctantly recertifying thailands compliance with the 2015 nuke deal. While blasting iran for violating the spirit of the agreement. The moves all come after irans sentencing of a graduate student to ten years on espionage charges. This is a need for iran to say that. But trump was very critical of the iran deal. I understand why he cant back out of it. Do you understand . Im not sure hes not going to yet. The reason why the recertification happened is there is a timeline. You have to recertify, or it begins to dismantle itself. They recertified but i will guarantee you with the last molecule and my body that they are talking about ways to blow this deal up and start over. Thats difficult because this isnt just us in the United States bread this involves many other countries but thats right. I think thats it makes it so complicated. With that being said i wish we could just withdraw from the Iranian Nuclear deal. Theyre saying that there is a comprehensive review of u. S. Policy toward iran. Thats what they are focused on. I think the steps that the department of the treasury took are a solid step, a good first step in trying to target these entities that are involved in the ballistics program, dealing with criminal activities. But it is surely not enough, especially when youre saying that iran continues to violate, whether it be not allowing international specters to come into the country, accelerating its Ballistic Missile program, basically exceeding the limits on the uranium enrichment, its very problematic and they still, these are bad actors and we have to do what we can to stop them. Im going to disagree with you because i really dont why . I miss our old days. But, you know, i do think that sanctions are any kind of step in any directions because we know the previous ones we had a it at work really at all. They are a bad actor. Speak up but now we have the Uranium Nuclear deal. That is actually empowered them. Thats where we need to be. Thats where we have to go. Withdraw from this deal. Its the first step with the sanctions. But i dont think the sanctions are even a first step. Because they literally dont work. Their rewarding irans bad acting. There needs to be a first step of many steps. There is much discussion in the administration of exactly what to do. They have their eye exactly where it needs to be, which is iran developing these missiles, and their leaders are smart enough to know that they cannot have a battle against the u. S. And win. But when they can do is have a Nuclear Program that we sell to a rogue terrorist group. Theyre going to cross an unsecured border, which we currently have, and allow much destruction. Tell me one thing the sanctions do. One thing they actually do. Where sanctions didnt and wont work, its because we dont have any trade, north korea and china are the only places that will work, if china put sanctions on north korea. They have 4 Million Barrels of production. We cant trade with iran, or your violating distinction, it hurts their economy. Their economy will hurt for many, many years. Until they decide to lift sanctions. I think ebonis point is, will that change their behavior, though . In a ran, it. They are struggling with the sanctions. They were hurting. People suffer. We sat throughout the middle east. People were going to suffer. It is a first step. We lifted this offering, though. Its really tough. Its a truck stomach tough position for trump to be in. They keep the deal. We have all these other countries involved. You put those sanctions back in place. That is choking their economy. But we do have current sanctions. We have a nuclear deal in place, also, which is making matters worse. Is a terrible, unenforceable deal. Looks like we are not going to solve it now.

So lets continue the conversation, despite the gridlock in congress, trump is still scoring big successes with one of his signature issues, stopping ilLegal Immigration. The head of the u. S. Border patrol is a heaping praise on the donald. Watch. What we see is nothing short of miraculous. If you look at the rhetoric hes given, its caught up with a number of illegal Border Crossers to drop down something weve never seen. Weve never seen such a drop that we currently have. And the latest figures from immigration officials show apprehension at the southwest border have plummeted 53 in the First Six Months of this year compared to 2016. Apprehensions are used to gauge how many people are trying to illegally cross the border. Miraculous, indeed. Cat, trump is the wall. Ive said it before. The walls and even up yet and hes got ilLegal Immigration down. I am all about using tough rhetoric to control the border, because rhetoric is free. It cost taxpayers nothing. So im all about that. And it makes sense, right, when you hear the difference in the way he speaks, people listen and they get scared and they wont want to come. If they think they can come and theyll be fine and that will provide for them, then, of course do not want to be scared away. I think we both agreed on making Legal Immigration easier. For controlling the border, that is a no Government Free solution and im all about it. Eboni, they are crediting this plummeting ilLegal Immigration issue because the illegals are afraid of donald trump. I think this is great. I totally agree, this is free, its rhetoric that invites people to a nice comfy space to break our statutes and laws, i dont stand for that and its a problem i have with sanctuary cities. I think if trump can be effective and have a tangible decrease in this type of illegal behavior just by speaking about it, its so good that maybe we dont need the wall. There you go down 53 ,. Thats right. If there are number the summertime, you see an increase of illegals coming to the United States. It was something that we saw under president obama. I think what youre seeing here with trump is that there is clearly a message being sent to central america, south america, basically saying, theres only one way to come in and that is legally. This does not solve the problem of dealing with the visa overstates. Over 47 of individuals who come legally are overstates. So we have a fundamental problem with our visa system. Its arcane and there needs to be fundamental changes made to that, i think thats going to be one of the areas that needs to be looked into. Trump has been soliciting, i guess, invitations froms construction companies, Engineering Companies about how to build this wall. He mentioned the solar panel wall, ive seen, but it looks amazing, actually, and would pay for itself. Its the kind of innovation that we need, because we need 100 security that bad actors are coming across the border, one. Two, he should be praise for the efforts that hes doing to make sure that folks in venezuela live in freedom and so they dont feel the need to come to america, and three, he is working on the visa issue, and we need to make sure that the workers that we need to get here. I think this goes to a bigger picture. If you want to look for the success in the Trump Administration is coming from, look at all the cabinet secretaries and the things that they are doing, whether its what theyre doing at epa, what rick perry is doing at the department of energy to help create jobs and get more sources of energy going, there is here, with the Border Security with what california is doing, we ought to be looking at the Trump Administration secretaries. Trump is going to run into problems, you will be surprised that congress will not likely want to provide funding for building the wall. They did provide, i think, it was 1. 6 billion in what would be some of the infrastructure, in terms of immigration, but that is where youre going to find another battle with congress which is providing that. Lets make mexico for the darn wall. I still think theres a way to do that. Name one way. Theres got to be away. We import 2 billion barrels of oil per day. Every day, come through pipeline. Instead of paying that much, say the price is 42 apparel, for the 41 a barrel, put a dollar in escrow for every barrel that comes in. 2 million per day toward that wall, put it right toward the wall and it doesnt affect the price of oil one iota in mexico cant go anywhere else with that oil because it would cost too much to send them to china. How about al gore, donald trump, solar panel wall. I love it. Deals with immigration and it would be environmental. You could use waivers. Use their laborers and theyll kick it in. Let mexico pay their own labor. How do you force them to do that . I think you cant. There will be ways. Anyway, well leave it right there. O. J.

With his thursday parole hearing approaching, an Early Release for the juice is appearing more and more likely. Despite serving only the minimum nine years of his 33 year prison sentence, new reports indicate that no one at thursdays hearing is expected to oppose simpsons release. That includes the victim of his botched las vegas robbery back in 2008 and the prosecutor who actually put him in prison. But there are a few things that could still trip up oj. Mercedes, many people, this is like, wow. Because a lot of people, although he went to prison for the robberies, felt that this was some type of the circular justice around the acquittal, of course of the murders. The parole, with the judge looks for, is simpson, it is he a danger to society at this moment . They will also check to see what the biggest factor, which is age. He 70 years old and what they do know in terms of statistics is that you have a 40 recidivism in terms of credit most who come out if youre over the age of 70, that number of recidivism is in the single digits. So they dont feel that he would be a danger. In addition to his age hes been a model prisoner. They say hes leading a baptist prayer group, hes working in the gym. I know you cant believe this, but you would appreciate this, former baseball player that your, commissioner of the prison yard softball team. What a standup man. Hes a model prisoner. Heres my question. Can Nicole Browns family show up at this . And not have a say, they dont have a say because he was acquitted on that, but can they just have a presence there . If i were them, i just go outside or show up. Watch people walk by and go, your ring to let this guy out customer its a public hearing so certainly they could be present in that way, but obviously the judge would be very leery of that because they dont want to just obviously look like they are punishing him in this moment for the crimes that he was legally enough, although, found liable in civil court. If you look at the crime itself, ebony, the reason seems to be that people were mad about the murders, which, by the way, is totally fair to be mad about that. But the botched robbery, he didnt even get to spend any time hanging out with the stuff you wanted to steal. I would be surprised, but a lot of people would be angry. Armed robbery, though. A botched armed robbery. Speak out we know that hes all ready been released on some of the kidnapping, hes arty come up on parole, technically, but the remaining on the other two chargers. The fascinating part of this whole story is proof that celebrity trumps all. How long has it been since simpson did this, and here we are, were still talking about it, documentaries are being made about o. J. Simpson. I watched all of them. I want to push back on that. I dont think its just that hes a celebrity. I was in Elementary School will this happen. But i remember where i was when this verdict was read. I think it was a cultural phenomenon. Armed robbery happens every day. Rodney king was on a celebrity and that was gripping in much the same way, and i think its the cultural dynamics, celebrity, absently, but also the racial component, the Domestic Violence component. And in front of the public eye, i think that americans would argue that he is guilty. So there is a sense of unfairness. But he went through the judicial process. It is what it is and now its time to go home. Im blown away, what was his original sentence . 33 years. Remember, armed robbery, right . He had some friends come, they pulled the gun, they held the guy, kidnapping. Or whats it called which are held against your will . Its not kidnapping, theres another technical. But these are major crime spirits because they are. But i got to say from experience he would never of gotten 33 years as a first offender. Criminally speaking, he was a first offender. I think he was guilty, i think he probably killed ron and nicole. But of course in the letter of the law he was found not guilty. But 33 years as a first offender was a little bit much. We see opposition from the d. A. Who actually prosecuted it. He is going home. He spent all that time. When we return, we will circle back with our specialists, Mercedes Schlapp and david avella.

What is deemed cat and the other eboni. As a mom, having that experience, is there anything you can offer congress in their insight to try to get along with various differing opinions question marks because its very easy. Listen to your mother. Listen to Mitch Mcconnell and trump. Weve got to get this thing done. Part of this is that sometimes you have to give things up and you have to compromise and thats part of the deal. I think thats a big lesson that you learn when theres five children in the house. We were talking in the break, and this is my proposal and i want to know your take on it. Dont give out any sanctions. Throw them off the table and let them know on the front end this is coming apart at the seams and we are resending the iran deal in its entirety. I think thats a smart move. I do think that the goal of the administration is to withdraw from the Iranian Nuclear deal. I think thats the only viable option that we have in order to stop iran from developing the nuclear technology. Hopefully they convince these other countries to join along. I dont know if you want to lay in on this, but this is a real thing. The general right now there is currently a Tropical Storm don, true story, and a tropical depression named hillary . Really .
