whether the obamacare should go on. you heard mitch mcconnell saying there, you could take that either as a warning or saying as a kind of reality of the situation that they re in, they re recognizing that they are not able to politically get this bill through. is here leader mcconnell saying okay, i am now going to be the adult in the room. i realize that this is not going to work on the other side of the aisle. are democrats going to go for the big home run, go for single pair-like objectives or will they go for the fixes they really need? a couple things. mitch mcconnell wanted to get this bill done before this recess. he knew when lawmakers went home, the public would assess the bill and it would become more unpopular. now he is faced with a couple of different options he has to figure out. remember, august recess is right around the corner. he also could have the opportunity to kind of call democrats bluff on this.
what s your thought? are they going for the big home run instead, like single payer? i think democrats are more than willing to compromise if republicans want to work with us. remember what we re dealing with, democrats have been frozeing unu out of this, for that matter, a lot of republicans have been frozen out of it. the senate bill was put together in secrecy. there was not a single hearing on this bill and on the house side, we had the speaker of theous house paul ryan saying he didn t want to work with the democrats explicitly. so we re ready and willing to be a part of the process. but that process has to be to improve the existing law. not to repeal it. not to throw 23 million americans off of health care. representative, then, from your perspective in your seat, would you like to go for something big like single payer? are you supporting that? right now, i want to make the affordable care act available to as many americans as possible.
must wear resistance from democrats? some of the most popular tweets that i ve ever seen or when politicians tweet about the egregious waste. meaning $300,000, the study of mating of grizzly bears in montana. i know that there is one about fish mating habits as well, you can go online, lists and lists and lists. and people respond. or they are like, how come we are wasting my taxpaying dollars on stuff that is quite frankly, and i have never been more entertained in my life, but it is entertaining things that government funds are ridiculous. i think this will be a big home run for president trump. an interesting response from some of the agencies. reports that members of the state department are a little bit worried about the reorganization that is going to go on and being affected by the big chunk of money that would come out to per the proposed budget by the president. then you have dr. carson, so i talked to him last night. the 13 plus percent cap on how to, and he has a lot to
you ve laid it out enough. you get my point. john phillips, so, bad week, then? well, any week that ends with me being on with the three of you is a good week. stop sucking up. it works every time. his speech was a big home run to begin the week. and i think that that carried over and his poll numbers are going to jump up. any time your poll numbers jump up, you have more capital with congress. deputies are clearly obsessed with russia. they think this is politically a winner for them. but i would be hesitant to do that if i were them because i think the republicans made a huge mistake in 2012 and beyond when they focused so heavily on benghazi. a lot of the bad details of benghazi were out before the election and the voters reelected president obama anyway. they should have dropped it after that. a lot of the allegations we re hearing about russia s meddling in the election and trump s ties to russia were out before the election. so voters were aware of this
going to get things done. they were not expecting this sort of drama and chaos and uncertainty. shannon: well, guy, his team says the drama and chaos is caused by the media who doesn t like him and the reasons he got elected. right. there s a little bit of both going on. i give him probably b minus at this point. there are clear negatives and crystal went through a couple of them. the rollout of the executive order on refugees was a total mess despite what he said and asserted yesterday at the press conference. it was not very smooth. it was not perfect. then the ouster of flynn, chaos on the national security team, report good things. but what the critics miss are the much more positive elements. great headlines for trump early on. on jobs in the economy, keeping jobs in the united states. a flawless rollout of an excellent, superb supreme court choice. i think that and neil gorsuch was a big home run. you can t overlook, people say he s so undiplomatic. four successful visits from
