this process. that is a very different thing than a group of people saying there is an ongoing and from we ve been briefed there is no evidence to suggest any type of collusion. that s a different hunter. thanks sean. on a slightly different topic in his first eight weeks in office president trump has made at least ten trips to the golf course. he regularly used to criticize president obama for his time on the develop course. how is his golf game different? one of two things, you saw him trying to use lies this time with prime minister abe to help foster deeper relationships in southeast asia. in asia, rather, and have a growing relationship that s going to help u.s. interests. how you use the game of golf is something that he has talked about. secondly, you know, we went to down to he had a mini cabinet meeting the other day two weekends ago, down at his club this virginia. and i remember so many people jumping to the conclusion that he is going down and playing golf. just
a state you need the answer to the people that elected you, whether or not you are going to support this. from a federal perspective, i think the president has been very clear that we are not going to use federal taxpayer dollars to support cities that support services to people who are here in this country illegally. but i think at the end of the day this is a question for mayors and council members at the local level who have to answer to the people that elected them with clearly a position that is not in keeping with what most americans believe. ayman. thanks sean. you mentioned the call with the ceo of anthem health. can you tell me what this proposal means for health insurance companies? will their profits go up or down under the president s proposal. i don t think that has been the focus of the president s proposal. it is a not about them. about patients. i think what it means for then is they finally get to create more choice and more plans and allow people to choose a plan
employer based plan. again, we have to have 24 conversation in the context of what s going on now. talk to somebody that s on medicare or medicaid. ask them if the doctor and services that they used to be getting are available to them. i know so many times now when you walk into the doctor they have a sign that says we no longer accept medicaid that used to be a given, almost. and now, for older americans, for americans at the lower end of the income scale, it s becoming harder and harder to find place that even takes your insurance. and i think that to find that an acceptable income the question has to be asked to people who oppose this no matter what side of the aisle they are on is what is your alternative? because the ideas that they propose we can incorporate. we can make this bter and better. but to sit back and act as though there is a choice doing nothing is not a choice. trey. thanks sean. as you know the doj has a an additional week to produce evidence that president trum
on capitol hill is going to pour in by the hour. so keep it here. and the white house is responding right now. take a listen. mul vany wanted to make sure that they had an opportunity to look at the top lines and get to you. we ll obviously have more tomorrow as we go forward. with that, we turn it over to dr. tom price, the secretary of health and human services. thanks sean. thank you so much. it was good cabinet meeting that we had during that cabinet meeting. the cbo report came out. i think it s important that we ask the question, compared to what? and the fact of the matter is the that this is about real people. it s about real people s lives. it s about the coverage, the health coverage they have, but the health care that they receive. and the fact of the matter is that right now, current law, we ve got individuals who have health coverage, but no health care. and it s incredibly important to appreciate that. in fact the coverage numbers are in fact going down if obamacare,
michael flynn was barely addressed. this was something of a good day for sean spicer to come out and address the press on. it appears they had a three day strategy. saturday you had president trump doing a big rally. he was then able which started to change the story away from flynn. then you had the mcmaster news. and then today with him visiting the museum he had something else to talk about. you always want to have something else to talk about. here s the problem, though. i disagree with sean. this is one of the things about the presidency that i don t think trump understands and i don t think sean understands. he will always be asked any time there is an incident like that where there is a. bolling or there is a threat. i mean that is just the nature of the presidency. the other problem for donald trump is that he has no correlate on this issue. why do you say that? he ran a very divisive campaign. he ran with people like steve bannon and jeff sessions in his administrati
