Are you going to make sure people with preconditions are covered. Theres going to be a period when you repeal it before you replace it were going to do it simultaneously. Its just fine. It an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated. The Republican Party will soon be northeasteknown as the health care. I mean it, 100 . I understand health care now. A lot of people dont understand it. So four years of promises and donald trump says he understands health care now, but you wont see a plan for another 19 months.

Soninlaw Jared Kushner and daughter ivanka trump. Now, the chair of the Oversight Committee calls this issue here a million times more serious than questions about Hillary Clintons emails. Joining us now is jeffrey toobin, former federal prosecutor. Abby phillips and van jones, cnn political commentator. Abby, you cover the white house, the president has been telling us he wanted republicans to be the part of healthcare, mark short told us there would be a Healthcare Plan this year and then overnight the president with an announcement that cuts mark shorts legs out from under him, said that there there not be a plan that will be voted on until after the 2020 election. Explain. Well, hes being maybe brutally honest here about what this is all about which is that the president and some people close to him believe that having healthcare as an issue basically promising voters that they are going to solve this issue the day after the election is something that is advantageous to him.

The system of checks and balances. But it looks like that system is being trampled under the president. Today the white house flatly rejkting the house judiciary kmutys request for documents, prompting jerry nadler to act like a king, as if hes above the law. But theyre increasingly talking actions that a majority of americans disagree with. Hes escalating his trade war with china can which americans dont want. Hitting more and more people in the wallet. And pols show they want everything from sensible gun legislation. Thats a question were going to ask and a lot to talk about. Alice stewart is here. Max is the author of the corrosion of can conservatism. Why i left the right. Let me start with you and ask you what i just said in the intro.

Rage tweeting about the investigation and about the democrats who were exercising their constitutional oversight powers to get the full report that you, the American People, paid for. Moments ago House Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff vowed that democrats will not be deterred from exercising their oversight powers.

Obama. Who is this economy going to work for . We had attacks planned it was all about giving the wealthiest people more of a break. We have to make sure its a shared recovery because right now it definitely is not. Do you give President Trump the credit . I give our workers and businesses the credit. I think weve had policies in place starting with president obama that have aided the recovery. The economy is doing well. I dont have to give trump any credit. Im sure he will take all the credit he wants. Jesse not everyone agrees with the out of touch candidates. A new poll says a majority of americans are happy with trumps handling of the economy. Brian, see if you can square this circle for me because i cannot. How can the democrats say its their economy and at the same time say its not working for the middle class . Brian is very strange. Without it was joe bidens were allowed. Bring up charlottesville in the middle class is not happy. The numbers are so overwhelmingly strong from wa
