fight obamacare. there was no openness, no amendments allowed, nothing. the leadership has allowed open discussion and the president has been more involved in more hands-on than any president i ve seen in history and my 15 years in congress. i m impressed with some of the things that happened, i wish the bill could be better. here s the untold story and it s hard to articulate but it s so true and i challenge the media to understand this better. we were having to put this to the byrd rule in the senate for one reason. the senate rules won t allow it to bring it to the floor, even bring it to the floor of the senate under regular order. we can t get the people involved in the debate and we have no real leverage against democrats that would tucker: i understand that and you re being blocked at every turn, it does remind me of one of those dreams you have racial at school and you forgot to study. seven years to think through what you should replace obamacare and literally the details
homeland but around the world. tucker: i have to ask you about susan rice who occupied a job not different from yours, wrote a piece schooled in the trump administration for its misuse of language for in effect lying to the public, what was your response? lied to the american public about the threat of radical islam? tucker: for using language that was untrue, making flip claims it can t be supported, she schooled the trump administration. i m not sure that scolding anybody makes a whole lot of sense would have a threat like this that just happened in london. there s times for scolding and identifying problems and wringing our hands commits over whether it s north korea or radical islamist threats. the trump administration at president trump himself has made it very clear that were not just going to talk about stuff and identify problems, were actually good to have some solutions. if tucker: thank you a lot for joining us tonight. up next, the president and the speaker of the

it be universal health care, he said yeah i really want to take care of everybody. those were his words. he even said he didn t care if it got him votes or didn t. now he is tweeting he is going to negotiate with congress. mike pence saying this is the beginning of a process. is this a shift away from the big promises he made on the campaign trail? yeah, i mean this was a central focus of his campaign. anybody who went to or saw any of his rallies saw this was one of the bige cheer points. this always got a huge reaction, that he was going to get rid of obamacare. and that he had a plan. i mean, remember, he also gave a newspaper interview where he said he had a plan that was going to cover everybody. in january he talked about that plan. now it looks as though that plan doesn t exist. he is adopting this. and we have heard really, about sort of the genesis of how this all came to be today with the hhs secretary tom price who was asked about his support for
the concern that we have been talking about for some of the lawmakers. chris jansing, kasie hunt, perry bacon, thank you all so much. appreciate it. up next we are going to kick in on one of the fine points in that stack of papers that you saw at the white house. that s the house s obamacare repeal bill. the bigger stack is the old obamacare. we are going to talk about tax credits, which existed in both plans, and what does it mean what they are trying to do now? what exactly will those tax credits look like? how will they work? when we come back. but our past is just that, past. we are pioneers. so our greatest achievements can t lay behind us, because our destiny lies ahead. that s what it means to drive the world forward. that s what it means to dare.
