when they were asked what they d do different on the economy they struggled to find an iota of information or fact that could actually throw some shade on what s happening overall. neil: well, would not help the recovery and well, i think it would be hard to argue that the economy is in better shape than it was, you know, when the president got into office. so he s going to keep pushing the stronger markets certainly. the record low unemployment rates, one group after another, a lot of democrat constituents, that s what he s going to pound, right? i think, neil, if he take the politics out of it and meaning that we have an election on the way and we really look at what the president s doing and forget how he s handling it in terms of tweets. if you look at the environment, this is the time for a president to take on china. he s got the wind at his back, related to the economy. we re in a very strong but he s facing a few more headwinds. he s always going to face some headwind
inconsistent with what you would do if you were denuclearizing. we ve known there s a gap between the president and his intelligence community. what we saw today is how deep that divide is between what the president tells reporters, the public and what information is being presented to him from the intelligence community. all right. thank you very much. starting with russian hacking of the election and seems on almost everything else. it couldn t be more clear. we observe activity inconsistent with full denuclearization. there s no ambiguity in this statement. it s the opposite of what the president is saying. i want to go to the chair of the house arms services committee. you see the report. you hear this testimony. do you think the president was listening to his intelligence chiefs today? i hope so. this has been a pattern since the president got into office. he says one thing and the intel community says the other. he has no facts to back him up.
the president snaking a very important point that he cares about putting americans back to work, no matter where they live, what their zip code, what the color of their skin. and it is absolutely true. it is fact. thank god. african american unemployment is at record lows. and that would not have happened had the president not passed the tax signed into law the tax cuts and jobs act. and you think the tax cut. [ overlapping dialog ] are you saying in a couple of weeks has cut the unemployment rate among african americans in a few weeks? no, that wouldn t work, obviously. the numbers don t work. the gdp tripled basically after the president got into office. and that is helping every american. zerlina? look, the downward unemployment on black has s not a result of donald trump s policies. beyond that, the black unemployment rate is still double the white unemployment rate. and black people should be grate
amendment for the day the president got into office. it s one thing to hate him and his policies. it s another to say he s mentally or physically unfit to be president. it s another to be delusional. there is no way trump cabinet will be invoking the 25th amendment to remove him. i also think it is dangerous thinking. before the election we got a lot of lectures on the media and democrats that the results of november needed to be respected by donald trump because they thought he would lose they feared he would keep on fighting. it seems those democrats have never accepted the donald trump one-day election in november. he did win the popular vote but he did win the electoral college at 63 million americans voted for donald jay trump to be in the white house. abby: you look at how this city how this would even have been peered the 25th amendment you have to get the cabinet to stand up and say the president is unfit to serve. do democrats really see this
legislation that happened before the president got into office. i think you also have to take into account the outrageous obstruction that we ve talked about pretty frequently up here, not just on healthcare but across the board in just allowing the president s administration to be fully staffed and be able to fully carry out the duties of the office. this is not about the legislation of the past before the president took office. this is about the president and republicans campaigning on repealing and replacing obamacare, for seven years, and the president when he was on the campaign trail not living up to that promise. doesn t he need to take responsibility? like i said before, the debate in the battle over healthcare isn t over. we re continuing to push forward to repeal and replace obamacare. we re going to continue fighting for that every single day. you re speaking as if this is over and done and it certainly isn t. charlie? just curious whether the president would be willin
