this is the bill, this is what we need to work on going forward, so you do have that mixed messaging when folks like people from the club for growth come out and say the president says he is open to talking about these things, very different from what we re hearing on the hill. and this health care act, kelly, the american health care act, is supposed to come in three phases, the final phase going back to the senate, where they re going to need a super majority to pass it, which means they re going to need democrats to pass it. our rank and file republicans on the hill buying that this is a plan that will ultimately be able to get any democratic support. well it is a legitimate concern because there are no democrats who are at this point willing to offer support. the challenge is one of the elements that some of the conservatives talk about, like the idea of being able to sort of break down the state by state barriers to buying health insurance. under the rules again that is not so
shortly. despite the public profession there appears to be major case of mixed messages. whether there s room for compromise. reports from inside the white house say president trump is saying yes to house speaker or yes to compromise, while house speaker paul ryan said no, it cannot happen. nbc s chris jansing is at the white house and kelly o donnell is on capitol hill. ladies, thank you for joining me. kelly let s start with you. there does appear to be a split message between the white house and what we re hearing out of the speaker s office. how do they reconcile these two things? well we know katy donald trump has made himself this negotiator-in-chief. the dilemma is the rules of capitol hill are at times not so movable and that s what paul ryan and mitch mcconnell have been talking about, the mechanism to try to get this bill passed and to do it in three different steps. there s not as much wiggle room there as one might believe.
