something that would be a little bit of a faux pas as the president meddles in domestic politics here, and he didn t really go as far as he s gone before. he said boris johnson and others, he named others, and he said they would all be good at their jobs. he likes them all, but he didn t endorse any one of them, and so far, we know he hasn t met with any of them, though he has had a phone call with boris johnson. so all in all, it does seem that president trump really ended this relationship as positively as he could. in many ways trying to avoid creating additional troubles for theresa may who is in her final days as leader of her party and final weeks as prime minister. a small gesture for someone who i think he s tried pretty hard to maintain a relationship with, despite all of these enormous differences. absolute le. great to see you. thank you so much. also during the press conference, president trump weighs in on one of his favorite topics, crowd size. this time, the size of th
come back, again, from this first overseas trip. he was quoted as dreading it before it started. he s going to come back jet lagged. he s going to come back to this drum beat of press coverage produced by people like you and people like us. and what of his agenda? there is that notion back to the work at hand. that s absolutely right, brian. and it s very difficult to see where republicans and president trump gain traction on that agenda. i like to think about this in three distinct areas, all of which apiece problematic right now, the first is health care reform. mitch mcconnell made an absolute le remarkable admission the other day when he said he didn t know where he was going to get the 50 votes. and that means that he s not even thinking he can get a majority of his own conference. he needs mike pence as the vice president to break the tie and cast the 51st vote. so there s that. you can t really do tax reform
there is that notion back to the work at hand. that s absolutely right, brian. and it s very difficult to see where republicans and president trump gain traction on that agenda. i like to think about this in three distinct areas, all of which apiece problematic right now, the first is health care reform. mitch mcconnell made an absolute le remarkable admission the other day when he said he didn t know where he was going to get the 50 votes. and that means that he s not even thinking he can get a majority of his own conference. he needs mike pence as the vice president to break the tie and cast the 51st vote. so there s that. you can t really do tax reform until you get health care republican out of the way because of the budget deficit reduction that would be included in reforming the health care system. you need that extra money to pass a tax cuts that president trump wants. now, republicans on capitol hill are already tempering their expectations about whether or
i m seeing that tom brady, though, is not attending the white house, vent. what are you hearing about this? yeah. he released a statement saying he has to deal with a personal family matter. his mother is sick. the only game that she attended during the 2016 season was the super bowl. she s reportedly in boston right now. so it sounds like he wants to spend time with his mother rather than take this day off to go to washington, d.c. and you know, that s certainly his right to do that since his mother is sick and robert kraft revealed at the super bowl that she s dealing with cancer and hoping for all the best on that. absolute le. our thoughts with them and that s totally understandable needing to be with his family. great to see you, doug. great to see it. programming note for all of you, a cnn special report and the downward spiral and the case against aaron hernandez airs tonight at 11:00 eastern only on cnn. also ahead for us, why are republican senators starting to call ou
a coma. sharon was asked in a interview in 2003 how he hoped to be remembered. he said one thing i would like to do, bring security and peace to the jewish people. rabby joseph pa ta smi k is the on the board of rabbies and he is here. glad to have you. thank you for dedicating a segment to ariel sharon. absolute le. it is my understanding that the loss is personal for many people in the jewish community, why? ariel sharon taught us as jews to be proud. we often remember. holocaust remember ares to be victims. but he said you have to be proud of victrows. we have hal caust memorial and israel independent day. and he was a great architect of the victories over the years. i don t know if you caught
