It would stop paying Insurance Companies 7 billion in subsidies which experts say would undermine a key pillar of the Affordable Care act. The federal help to reduce costs for low income americans. Lets listen to the president. Well, you saw what we did yesterday with respect to health care. Its step by step by step [applause] were taking a little different route than we had hoped because getting congress, they forgot what their pledges were, so were going a little different route. But you know what . In the end its going to be just as effective and maybe it will be even better. Well, President Trump announced today that he would no longer certify the landmark Iran Nuclear Deal calling it a bad deal for america. I am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. In the event we are not able to reach a solution working with congress and our allies, then the agreement will be terminated. It is under continuous review, and our participation can be canceled by me as president at any time. Well, its a move that mrks european allies didnt want especially when theyre already dealing with a growing Nuclear Threat from north korea. President trump defended his decisions, blaming president obama. Were very unhappy with iran. They have not treated us with the kind of respect that they should be treating. They should have thanked barak obama for making that deal. They were gone. They were economically gone. He infused 100 to 150 billion into their economy. He gave them 1. 7 billion in cash, and they should be thank you, president obama. They didnt say that. Well, President Trumps actions this week are part of a larger pattern of divisive destruction. Yesterday the president told 3. 4 million american citizens in devastate prosecut devastate puerto rico that they shouldnt count on the u. S. Government for help. In the meantime there are real and immediate consequences, human consequences to his decisions. Nothing he has done shows any signs of a winning political strategy for america. Why is he doing all of this . Lets talk about it in this order. Theres a pattern here of maybe met foric delight for him. In other words, he feels strong doing this. But the little the regular people of puerto rico didnt do nothing to this guy. Right. And they may have a clut i government, but why blame them. And the same thing with aca. You may not like the modelings of it, but why throw 7 Million People into the gutter. And you toss in that the d. R. E. A. M. Ers. He did the same thing with them. Whats the hate all about. Hes very destructive. He doesnt know what to do. And he cant do anything. Congress certainly doesnt have any ideas. So he kind of breaks up the furniture, breaks the china, throws the hot potato into congress and says you figure it out. Now, at some Point Congress is going to say no and throw it gak and thats whats happening sometimes its like nixon was like this and some of the worst leaders in history and i wont mention them all. They have a met foric. It isnt about real people, like nuclear war will burn people alive. Theres no sense of that physical empathy for anybody. And the same with people losing health care. Imagine you have a kid who needs an operation and sorry, im im having some fun with this. Everything with north korea even. Some little munch kin over in north korea just marching to the tune of the government. Hes just forced to be a robot. Theyre not the bad guys. And the president has shown a capacity to support the people who support him. That tweet storm the other day, i guess it was yesterday about puerto rico was really aimed my reporting suggests at the mayor of san juan. Well, she doesnt like the president. Who has been very critical of the president and changed the dynamic of the coverage about puerto rico. Shes getting three squares a day. Shes not the one who is going to get hurt by all this. Shes being very critical of the president and the response, slow rolling response in puerto rico. Peter, theres something coming to a head here. Its sort of like were seeing consequences. I dont know if he is, but everybody is watching it is seeing it. All these initials on it, the people. Well, look, these all have real consequences. Youre absolutely right about that. We talk about them at times in a political context and his sort of jousing with congress or his taking aim at president obamas legacy. But there are real world consequence to some of these decisions. The real question is do those consequences turn out for the best or not. Obviously he thinks, at least some of those people certainly think they will. In fact, the Obamacare Program isnt working and by signing the executive order yesterday he might make it easier for some people to go ahead and get insurance across lines. But theres also dire consequences that other people who are experts on this are warning about. If those actually emerge, do those become something that concern him. Are those a tactic to get congress to come to the table. You heard him say democrats should come to me and work out something on health care. Was he doing this because he thinks its a best policy or a tactic to get congress to negotiate. I wouldnt counted on congress to do anything right now and i think theyre going to let him stew. Hes going to pay the price for what he broke. Any way, late today President Trump defended his actions on health care saying Something Better is coming from this. Congress is going to stand by and watch this guy stew. Lets watch. What its going to do is its going to be time to negotiate health care thats going to be good for everybody. We just about have the votes. Now, if the democrats were smart, what they do is come and negotiate something where people could really get the kind of health care that they deserve. But for months the president has broadcast his desire to sabotage obamacare. He cant prevend he wants to fix it. Lets take a look. You know, i said from the beginning let obamacare implode and then do it. I turned out to be right. Let obamacare implode. Let obamacare fail. It will be a lot easier. Were not going to own it. Im wants 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 and theyre going to say how do we fix it or how do we come up with a new plan. This is not a Republican Health care. This is not anything but a Democrat Health care. But jennifer, now hes decided to put his blood all over it because hes the one now cutting off the subsidies. Everybody every Everybody Knows thats the heart of the program, helping people pay for Health Insurance and he says were wnt going to do that anymore. When he says theyll come to me and well try to fix it, he has no idea how to fix this thing. Thats ridiculous. There is no affirmative reason for, as you say, pulling back these subsidies for the Insurance Companies other than to we can it. And whats more is that there has been a bipartisan discussion going on in congress between senator alexander and senator murray. That they put the kibosh on because they wanted to blow up obamacare. Every legislative issue hes attempted this year hes a loser. He got gorsuch in and they blew apart the filibuster rule. Nothing else has passed. Theres no tax bill, infrastructure, nowhere is anything near a law or a reality. There is this notion who donald trump sold him as a great businessman, would be this great dealmaker. So far hes been a great deal breaker. The republicans i talked to on the hill today and yesterday, really they say their plate is full. They already have to pass a measure to keep the government funding by december. They have to figure out what to do about daca because the president , remember, puntd that over to them. They have to do something about the childrens Health Insurance plan, which expired. Now they have to do something about the iran deal and by the way, do something on tax reform because republicans have openly said that if they fail to do something on tax reform, they feel that, you know, both chambers of congress could be in play in the next election. Ive watched this health care fight go on a long time in pennsylvania, for example, which is sort of the heart of the Industrial Area of the country in terms of who switches to vote for trump. Back years ago all you had to do is talk about health care and you could win the election. Because it means to a middle aged woman or husband, it means when the die or woman gets out of work, they wont have health care. Its always been the lifeline for people. Somebody has got to pay for your health care. And now trump goes along and says, well, im going to dump it for the people who are above the minimum wage. Above, in fact, the medicaid level. Hes gone right at the heart of the working people, the white people in many cases. How are they going to like that when they realize that ground zero for trumpism is them . Thats a good question. Do they blame him or do they blame democrats for a program that was flawed in the first place. The party the country is so polarized that people really do interpret a lot of what happens through that initial partisan lens rather than stepping back and saying well, maybe my party didnt do something right. Well see. Consequences of real people, its hard to take back an sbielgtment. Weve said that again and again. Once a program is put into place in the federal system, the idea of taking it back, taking back benefits that people have come to rely on is very, very hard. So this may be the first test of whether that does in fact create a blow back that affects trumps own voters, the people that he listens to, particularly as you say in pennsylvania and michigan, ohio, the places that he really won the electoral college. Well, pride comes before the fall. According to a new poll by the Kaiser Family foundation a majority of americans think its more important for President Trump and congress to Work Together to stabilize the obama market places rather than tear them apart. When asked 66 said they wanted to see the present congress stabilize the Insurance Market places while 29 think congress should repeal and replace. Jennifer, repeal and replace always seemed like a Square Circle to me. The government is going to take a roll here. And thats what republicans dont believe necessarily it should take a roll. And thats why it fell apatriot in the senate and the house because theres a fundamental group of republicans who dont think the government should do that, who dont believe the government should subsidies. Lib terry yans. At least not when its concerning once you have a few babies out there and kids and grandkids, youre not a libertarian. You dont ride a motorcycle any more or at least wear a helmet. Thank you. Bennett of npr. The gray lady is doing so great. Coming up, are we on the eve of destruction with north korea . New york times columnist nick christ off is just back from north korea with how trumps saberrattling is playing on the streets of pyongyang. The Russian Investigation itself, special Counsel Robert Mueller squeezing white house right now while social media giants facebook and twitter are under fire for failing to stop russian agents from spreading discord during the 2000 of election. What about the Republican Party . Republicans are staying lajel quiet about what weve seen from the president lately. Paul ryan wifrps out, pretending that bob corker and donald trump are equally coherent. Who thinks that . Finally, let me finish tonight with trump watch. This is hardball, where the action is. What started as a passion. Has grown into an enterprise. Thats why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. Now, im earning unlimited 2 cash back on every purchase i make. Everything. Whats in your wallet . I want to share something with you. The first few copies of my book on robert f. Kennedy have arrived. Its a stunning to see all the research and writing finally coming to life. I believe this book, especially coming now, is going to stir the spirit, remind us that a great country must also be a good country, that american politics can be a moral force. That instead of dividing us our leaders can truly, believe it or not, unite us. Bobby kennedy, a raging spirit. Well be right back. It can transform a frog into a prince. But it cant transform your business. For that you need dell technologies. We are transforming jet engines into turbo powered safety inspectors. Dairy cows into living, breathing, data centers. And though it seems like magic, its not. Its people and Technology Working together. Magic cant make Digital Transformation happen. But we can. Lets get the lady of the house back on her feet. And help her feel more strength and energy in just two weeks. Yaaay the complete balanced nutrition of ensure with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. Ensure. Always be you. Were going to see what happens with north korea. Thats all i can say. Were going to see what happens. Were totally prepared for numerous things. We are going to see what happens with north korea. I will say, look, if something can happen where we negotiate, im always open to that, but if its going to be something other than negotiation, believe me, we are ready. More so than we have ever been. Well, theres been some alarge rhetoric coming from President Trump on north korea. Hes dismissed past efforts at dims, warning sorry, but only one thing will work. When he addressed World Leaders at the United Nations general assembly, he threatened to wipe north korea off the map. Watch that. The United States has great strength and patience p but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself and for his regime. A new poll this week found that 65 of americans believe the president s tough talk is making the situation worse. Only 8 think its making things better. But what about the view from pyongyang . New york times columnist Nicholas Kristof recently returned from a report right leg trip with this stark assess. Ive been covering north korea on and off since the 1880s and this five day trip has left me more alarmed than ever about the risk of a catastrophic confrontation. Im amazed. I read your first piece, second piece. I think im looking at a country with a hair trigger on deaf con one up against our president who seems so quick to respond to any threat to his masculinety, if you will, that we really are looking at a world war i scenario with world war iii consequences. I think thats actually a very good analogy. Nobody really andied for this to be this grand big war, but you had a series of escalations and miss calculations. And i think that thats whats happening here. Fundamentally kim jongun and President Trump, i think, have somewhat similar temp wants. Traveling around north korea you see this these images of missiles all over. You see billboards with rockets hitting the u. S. Capitol. When i was flying in to north korea the Inflight Entertainment was this military orchestra playing beautiful classic cal music enter spersed with images of missiles firing off. And even when you went to their equivalent of seaworld it ended up with a missile display. Every Single Person we spoke to from officials to students voiced certainty that if war breaks out america will end up in ashes and the kim regime will emerge how does that work . Is that just cognitive dissidents . How do you think the Nuclear Weapons the few you have will destroy america but the many america has wont destroy you . Well, you know, first of all, of course, this is the most controlled regime in the world. So im never sure whether what im getting is what people are thinking or whether its all just a government script. But also bear in mind that what everybody has been steeped in for their entire lives is a historical narrative in which north korea has repeatedly defeated the u. S. Their version is, which is completely preposterous that the u. S. Invaded north korea to start the korean war and the koerns valiantly defeated the u. S. So i think that for many koreans, they feel, well, weve done this many times in the past, and, yeah, we can do it again. You hope that kim jongun knows better, but there is this historical danger where dictators come to believe their own propaganda. Let me ask you about a sequence of events. Suppose they drop a Nuclear Weapon somewhere in the pacific. It doesnt do any immediate harm to any nation, but it basically says to President Trump screw you. Trump then has to do something. Does he attempt a Surgical Strike . What would be the steps that would lead to real trouble here . Can you see the sequence . So i think that i think one thing the u. S. Is contemplating is striking a missile after it has left korean territory, and i think that we might be able to get away with that or they might respond. I dont know. But one of the things were also talking about is striking an icbm as it is being fueled on the launch pad. And i am very sure that there would be some military response from north korea. I dont know whether that would mean few artillery shells at seoul, hitting a u. S. Base at tokyo. I dont know. But one of the problems when you war game scenarios between north korea and the west is that theres this rush to escalate because each side is a hair trigger. Neither personality, mr. Kim jongun as we know him or President Trump as we know him quite well seems like the kind of person who would pull back the way that that key at that crush chef did in is the 63. Okay, i went too far, im going to pull back and take the heat, even if it means the loss of my regime, when was can the case with krush chef. Do either of these personalities strike you as the personality goodness for humanity or concern for humanity would pull back and step down. So. I think theyre both sensitive to the perception that theyre weak. Kim jongun in particular i think has been pour laying President Trumps rhetoric to boost his own legitimacy. It is striking. They had never heard of otto warmbier. The yooufrtd of virginia student who died after being jailed in north korea. But everybody we talked to completely knew about President Trumps speech to the United Nations because north korea wants them to know about it because it fits into their narrative of kim jongun as the protector of the korean nation from american kbeerl imperialist aggressors. They have been ratcheting and leveraging for their own purposes. Doesnt President Trump know when he identifies kim jonguns existist, in other words, that im going to destroy his country to get to him, which is hes giving him all that he wants which is identity with his country . Well, i dont think President Trump gets that. I must say i think a lot of people in the administration do. I think theres disquiet among some elements in the administration and a real fear that President Trump is talking military options without understanding that this isnt just, you know, a Little Exchange of artillery. This isnt even another iraq war, another afghanistan war. I mean, one assessment by a stanford youth proef suggested that just on the first day of another korean conflict there would be a Million People dying, a Million People on the first day. If you try to think of things that could go very badly wrong in the nekts three or four years, i think another korean war would be very high on that list. You know, i get the sense before the iraq war which i was against, i believe you were too, i get the sense that we were sending a signal to the sue cam hugh sane, there was no inclination to look for a carrot to get him out of that war. There could have been a beating somewhere, some sort of neutral place if thats what our administration was up to. Are we sending a signal to kim jongun that no matter what he does, were coming in . And if so, thats really horrible. I think secretary tillerson at the state department is trying to craft exit ramps. He does want to forge exit ramps. Likewise, i think that North Korean Foreign Ministry is trying to figure out exit ramps. Thats why i was invited, frankly of the but the problem is, i think, that those people trying to find some kind of a deal are being margin iced in both clals. And theres another point to make on the iraq war. I made the same point to my north korean interlock aers. It feels just like when i was in iraq and the eve of the iraq war and it just felt like this tragedy about to unfold. And they said, you know, you completely misunderstand that the lesson of iraq was that we have to have Nuclear Weapons. If sad am had had Nuclear Weapons, then he wouldnt have been invaded. And i think that one of the tragedies of our invasion of iraq in 2003 was we sent a message to the north koreans that theyd better develop Nuclear Weapons and a longrange missile capability. And we doubled down by talking qaddafi out of his weapons too. Great reporting. That piece on sunday had such impact. Thank you. New reporting on the mueller investigation. Investigators are lining up more interviews with white house staffers. It comes amid news that social media giant twitter may have deleted crucial evidence in the russian probe. This is hardball where the action is. Dad molly trash whoo mom hey, molly . Its time to go bell ringing class, lets turn to page 136, recessive traits skip generations. Who would like to read . molly i reprogrammed the robots to do the inspection. Its running much faster now. See . Its amazing, molly. Thank you. im melissa ray burger with breaking news. Special Counsel Robert Muellers counsel today interviewed reince priebus. The Washington Post is reporting that it lasted a full day. His lawyer says he was happy to answer all questions and that his appearance was voluntary. House speaker paul rooip in puerto rico today saying the government is committed for the long haul. Ryan visited a day after the house approved a 36 billion relief package, part of it will go to puerto rico. At least 32 people have died in Northern California wildfires. 90,000 people have been displaced. Firefighters are gaining control now, thanks in part to calmer winds. Back to hardball. Welcome back to hardball. After receiving extensive requests for materials in connection with the russian probe the daily beast is reporting that the white house is turning over documents to special Counsel Robert Mueller. According to a lawyer familiar with the investigation, the white house has made substantial progress responding to muellers requests. However, the process is ongoing since investigators have been making followup requests, obviously. Additionally, several current and former white house staffers have been interviewed by muellers investigators or are scheduled to be interviewed by them in the next few days. Meanwhile, Tech Companies are also hot seat as investigators learn more about hau russians used them during the 2016 election. Twitter has deleted tweets and other user data, potentially irreplaceable value to investigators. Analysts say a substantial amount of that investigation is lost for good. Im joined now by democratic congressman eric swalwell. Betsy woodruff, the author of that report. What do you think is the hottest story about now, is it about the white house finally coming back with some data or is it whats going on with twitter and with facebook . Theyre holding out, theyre destroying information. I think the important thing to understand about twitter is that i cant speak to the soshsz that politico referred to in that piece but my understanding from having conversations today is its potentially premature to see that twitter has destroyed data because my understanding is theyre still working on getting the information and responding to the queries that your committee has directed to them. My understanding is also that the House Intel Committee hasnt necessarily specifically laid out exactly everything they want from twitter. So i would say its probably too early to say that there is evidence thats gone for good. I just think thats premature. Is anything gone for good out there . On the internet its never a safe assumption that your internet i a lot of tweets that i would love to be deleted for god, but i think that we could probably find them. Let me ask you about the white house. You know, theres a watergate phrase, limited modified hang out where they would let some information out, but they were hiding the june 23rd tape,up, the smoking gun. Nixon was very aware what the hot stuff was and kept it as long as he could. Is this administration keeping the really good stuff. Theyre not am tours. They know what theyre doing. They have been doing it for a long time, particularly in business and bob mueller has to be as determined and dogged as the russians were. So i think they have to just keep forcefully asking for materials and just keep, you know, turning the white house upside down until you get it all. We see a drip drip drip and then, you know, media pressure, congressional investigation pressure. A little bit of an acknowledgment. I dont think weve even seen anything do you think trump is being square with his lawyers . I think do you think hes telling his lawyers all the dirt thats there . I cant speak to their current conversations, but what we do know about his history is he treats lawyers like they are tools to be used for his ends. He doesnt respect and reveer lawyers the way prior administrations have. It would strike me as a pretty safe guess that theres stuff that he hasnt told them. Mueller is still asking the white house for information. They havent responded to all of his queries. Lets go fak to facebook here. Business insiders now reporting that only about six of those accounts have been publicly identified right now. Quote, the other 464 accounts closed by facebook vp not yet been made public. If they are an analysis of their combined posts would likely reveal that their content was shared an estimated bill yongs of times during the election. Lets get back to trumps total stone wall. The russians had nothing to do with 2016. Of course they did. And he said no raurnls, no collusion. Now hes saying, well, we knew some russians, you know, this was just politics taking the june 9 owed meetings and the others. I think hes going to get back into a position where he says, you know what . The alternative was you had hillary clinton. Because thats we had been on the offense and exposing all of these contacts. On the social media side its in her interest just as can i country, republicans or democrats to never let our platforms be used against us. I think the posts should be public. The intent by the russians and whoever they worked with for was for them to be public at the time so the American Public should see it so we have an awareness when we go into the next election as to what this stuff looks like. Trump as recently as today is not acting on the sanctions. Hes just not doing it. As far back as the Republican Convention last summer out in cleveland he was hanging out with the russian ambassador. Ive never seen such getting together before. And trump has made it clear in almost everything he said publicly, hell attack everything in the worl. He attacks his own staff. He says he hates his staff. He doesnt like the media. He doesnt likely congress. But he likes the russians. It seems like the deal is still going on. Hes known them for a long time, though. As we saw, he was doing trying to do a deal with them but they helped him and he still seems to be helping them. You know what im saying . It looks like a deal. He may not have even thought he was going to win. He was trying to do a trump tower deal during the election. What do you think of the fact hes still helping the russians . Well, its because hes loyal to them. Hes been loyal to them. He also never criticizes his fans. Thank you so much. Up next, speaker ryan covered over senator bob corkers relevance agsz about President Trump. Who is this guy kidding . And should republicans stay silent through all this when some of them worry that trump could lead us into world war iii . Isnt it time to speak up guys, and women . Youre watching hardball. But we make more than our name suggests. Were an organic tea company. A premium juice company. A Coconut Water company. Weve got drinks for long days. For birthdays. For turning over new leaves. And we make them for every moment in every corner of the country. We are the cocacola company, and were proud to offer so much more. Grandmas. Aunt stacys. What are the reasons you care for your heart . Qunol coq10 with 3x better absorption has the 1 cardiologist recommended form of coq10 to support heart health. Qunol, the better coq10. This bed. I think its just talk it out among yourselves. My advice is for these two gentlemen to sit down and talk through their issues. I think thats the best way to get things done. That was House Speaker paul ryan responding to week to senator bob corkers stunning reflts lags about donald trump. It led to a furious response from the president. But virtual silence from the partys leaders. Nbcs casey hunt sat down with the speaker and asked about trumps attacks on his own party. Listen. The president has regularly engaged in disputes with various members, bob corker, ben sas, is that helpful to your agenda . Its what he does. Weve had our engage wants in the past too. I dont think it what im trying to get our members to do is just focus on doing our jobs. Were here elected to represent our constituents to advance our principles, pass solutions. Thats what were focused on. And im trying to get members not to get distract by these things. Well, President Trump may make it difficult for cockle republicans to do their jobs, it did he values he reminded the audience of what a great job he thinks hes doing. In the last ten months we have followed through on one promise after another. I didnt have a schedule, but if i did have a schedule, i would say we are substantially ahead of schedule. How times have changed, but you know what . Now theyre changing back again. Just remember that. I dont know if youve seen whats going on, but tremendous strides against isis. They never got hit like this before. Weve done more against isis in nine months than the Previous Administration has done during its whole administration, by far. By far. And as a Christmas Gift to all of our hardworking families, we Hope Congress will pass massive tax cuts for the American People. Lets bring in the hardball round. Casey hunt, nbc news, capitol hill correspondent. Her new show premiers sunday on msnbc. George wallace, and Professor James patterson. Everyone, this is a big question for the week. The president is getting nothing done from the hill. The congress, its a Republican Congress on both sides, and nothing is getting done. Is it partially because of these personal disputes like he had this week with mr. Corker . I think thats part of it. Incompetent the president is more frustrated quite frankly with his own party on capitol hill than he is with democrats right now. And i think you saw paul ryan i thought it was a little bit remarkable that he said, yeah, weve kind of had to learn to live with this. Its just kind of how its going to be. I think he and other republicans and bob corker, i would put him in this category. There are some people on the hill that view themselves as states men and they feel like they have to keep the country on some set of rails while this is all going on. I think the president is picking up on that and hes really frustrated with them. George. Well, paul ryan said its what he does. Fish got to swim, birds got to fly and mr. Trump has to do this stuff. He doesnt have to. He could change but he wont change. Paul rooib is one of a lot of people on capitol hill that are precluded by their very norm although from hes a nice p sweet, intelligent southeastern wisconsin guy and he has no comprehension of this. He keeps going on about his agenda. Mr. Trump said i have no schedule. Well, people who understand these things did have a schedule. Repeal and replace by march. Tax reform by august. Infrastructure by christmas. Strike one, two, three. That was paul ryans schedule. Professor, nothing is getting done, and thats an objective fabt. Its not an argument. But the president has the capacity to frame the discussion all the time. He can frame it for his supporters and the American People whats he going to say christmas . Well, hes great, all the super la tis and there are people who follow him who believe that. The request he is are we paying close enough attention to understand what hes not getting done. Is there any kind of crosswalk between his failure to act and his people and do they see it when theyre talking over coffee or anywhere in line, theyre coming home from work his voters, you mean . Theyre thinking, theyre talking over the kitchen table. I like this guy, his attitude because hes challenging the establishment, but didnt they expect some output . I think he will find that that is the case. Its going to be a huge test in 2018 because, look, his numbers are republicans are holding relatively strong. 81 . Thats not what won him the election over hillary clinton. It was a small bunch of people, in fact, living in places like wisconsin, paul ryans home state. You mean working class democrats and independence. Exactly. And i think thats are the kinds of people who are looking around to say is my circumstance materially changed by the fact that i sent this guy to the white house. Im want sure that theyre going to be convinced of that. I think theyre going to take is it out on paul ryans majority. Will it continue through next year. Yes. Maybe in four years many pennsylvania, western pennsylvania, nothing has changed, they may turn on him. But i think what theyll say is he was right. The system is rigged, and he cant do anything about it. Theyre right. The voters werent that wrong, i didnt think. Well, theyre getting 90 of what they voted for because 90 of what they voted for was his persona, smashing crockry for its own sake, and hes doing that. Theyre angry. Paul ryan is not angry enough decides all the elections, lehigh valley, once you get off campus. Well, good signals to see that representative Charlie Dennis quit. Yeah. That gives you a sense of his own frustration with whats going on in washington. Hes a great politician and for him to feel like he cant move an agenda through the trump world seems to me to be a really important indicator. Im not sure folks are going to do the full assessment, infrastructure, tax cuts to middle class families, i dont know if that matters. The culture war is going to dominate and his capacity to frame the narrative seems extraordinary. It seems to me that corker is leaving, charlie dent is leaving. There will probably be more leaving. Mitch mcconnell just pulls himself in like a turlts. Hes not going to change. Hes waiting out this whole period. Are they just going to tuck it in like you say paul ryan is a gentleman, a sweet guy, wait for this guy to go away . Hes not going away for three years, maybe seven years. Yes, but while hes doing that, Mitch Mcconnell is remaking one of the three branches of the federal government, the judiciary. Tremendous want the way he wanted to. He didnt believe in getting rid of the sfil buster. Hes you are not fire that too. And he has tried to adjust. He cared about the senate, and he cared about the fact that the privilege of a senator extended debate. And they lost that. Yeah. But as you well know being a former creature of the hill, the senate didnt always act this way. Filibuster everything. The senate did not have an implicit 60 vote super majority on absolutely everything unless you wanted to get to the floor and hold the floor physically. And if they get back to that, then they can live with this. So where are we going . Are we getting anything done this year, proef. Theres not that much time left this year to get anything done. How do you get a tax bill written in committee, in ways and means committee, passed in the house by 2018 and take it over to the Senate Finance committee, marked up there, then go to the senate floor, then go back to conference. I dont know how you get a bill by christmas at this point . Well, white house has no interest in the legislative sausage making. Or even if they get a budget passed that will enable them to pass whatever they want with reconciliation with 50 votes, even if they do that, getting to 50 votes is going to be heard than it seems because someone, maybe the senator from alaska is going to say well, we want an war drilling in the Wildlife Reserve out there and someone else is going to say thats a deal breaker for me, and the aforementioned mr. Corker who has the emancipation of a politician halfway out the door said if this raises so much as a penny on the deficit, its a deal breaker for me and theyre proposing to raise 1. 5 trillion over a decade, and thats 150 tril pennies, which is more pennies that are in circulation.

Casey, tell me something i dont know, democrats are privately brett betting that the president would not tear up the iran deal if congress did nothing on the decertificatification and they have a couple of options to deal with this. They could put the sanctions shuns back on iran and only take 50 votes or write legislation like bob corker wants to and take 60 votes or do nothing and it is a game of chicken with President Trump. George. There are mummerers about justis candidate because he is the swing vote and there is the belief that given the polarization of the congress that anyone wants to retire with his president and his Party Controlling the senate. If so, the more we hear that there is a possibility that the republicans could lose control of the senate, the more there will be an interest, so say the mer merrings in mr. Kennedy leaving before they lose the senate if possible. I think hes swimming. I think hes thinking about it all of the time. That is the hunch. Chris, you know this is worth our viewers talking about the ineffective posture of this administration but i find the department of justice under sessions is the most effective unit in terms of the trump doctrine and what they did in terms of rolling back transgender rights for workers an the diminishment of the civil rights unit and the ending of Consent Decree and over site of Law Enforcement across the nation and they have done a lot of things in terms of the trump doctrine.
