you? talked about imports and taxes on that. democrats want tax reform, republicans want tax reform. the problem here is you have a split among both democrats and republicans as to how much and where do you cut or just entirely omit? and i think we are going to see something similar with tax reform that we re seeing with healthcare, unfortunately, because we have two divided parties. but today i think we are seeing more of a fractured g.o.p. brett: kristin? you like to think that when folks are coming together to talk about something like tax reform. everybody is coming to the table and putting their ideas forward and feeling listened to and everybody agrees on. in reality when these deals get made folks feel like there are consequences for not going along with something they don t love with this healthcare bill i don t think there was a sense there were going to be any consequences for folks who said no. that clip we saw earlier in the program of nancy pelosi jubilant about this r
universal care and once you have that, that s the reason why the quinnipiac poll had the reform, the ryan reform had 17%. that s pathetic. that s lower than anything ever in obamacare. what we re going to get is in time. democrats are going to go to single payer and republicans are going to try to get a stripping away of government control and i thin its time is slipping away. the zik in the country has changed. brett: kristin, is repeal officially dead? are we dealing with fixing obamacare or does the republican congress and this administration have another bite at this apple at some point down the line? there s another other stuff on congress agenda that they want to get to that i think makes it very challenging for them to have the band width to go back and start on this issue. president trump says he loves making deals. he loves winning. he said or tweeted out or said that he would be
maccallum will have more insight on how the trump administration is reacting feeling over tonight s vote when the white house press secretary sean spicer joins her at 7:00 p.m. for the first 100 days on fox news channel. let s bring in our panel guy benson political editor at town hall.com. kristin an der. leslie marshall and charles krauthammer. charles, your thoughts. you could look at this as the big picture or smaller. the big picture, i think, is that it is a victory for philosophically for obama. it is now seven years since the act was put into place. the country has changed. there is now the generalized expectation that there is an entitlement to universal healthcare. that was always around to some extent. but i think if you listen to the terms of the debate, the main argument is who is going to lose, how many are going to lose, which implies that nobody ought to lose,
with a filibuster. if that s where the country is, let it be that way and then the republicans at least will not have a political black eye. brett: kristin, the president said today not everyone understood how good our bill was. he said because you had this phase one, phase ii, and phase 3 which he said would have gotten to a good bill. this would have been a very complicated process. and i think part of the challenge was in that phase go 2 you would have had the executive branch doing the things it could do to tweak the regulations put into place by obama s health and human services department. but there had to be a level of trust there. people had to take the leap and say we ll vote for this bill, trusting that hhs will make awful these changes. that level of trust just wasn t there unfortunately to get those folks across the finish line and saying they were willing to vote for it. brett: get to you react to the on democrats. they own it, 100 percent own it. this is not a rep
many falsehoods with potential support from members of the obama administration. roger stone also offered to cooperate with his lawyer writing mr. stone deeply recents that several members of your committee have intimated that he has committed treason is in his political press and social media activities. former trump campaign chairman paul manafort said he would do the same. republicans and democrats will work with his lawyers to see what exactly he wants to do. if he wants to come out and public and have a public hearing, he s more than welcome to do that. if he wants to do it in a closed setting, that s also fine with me. reporter: nunes is recalling the directors for a classified hearing next week. just eight days after their public testimony where director comey said he had seen no evidence backing up president trump s wiretapping allegations. previously scheduled testimony from former senior intelligence officials and the deputy attorney general under president obama will now
