briana, but the question is what and could it possibly pass? i think we know by now there are not 50 republican votes for any form that has been presented over repeal and replace of obamacare. i think we ve learned that lesson. now the question is, is there a way to mend the insurance markets, mend obamacare for the near term, a band aid, to until they try to repeal and replace again? that s what we thought the bill they were putting forward might do. the truth of the matter with the president you saw sarah sanders talk about this. he likes the idea of bipartisan, he just didn t know it was in the bill. when the fact that the bill rolled put the subsidies that he had taken out back in, it s going to be very hard for him to be for it. but, i mean, that s like unforgivable that he doesn t even know what s in there, right? well you have one republican, nadeau, saying what else is new? he changes positions six times
details of this action at that time. when we have further information, i ll be happy to discuss it with you. hallie. thank you. setting aside the congresswoman, setting aside the conversation about the politicization of this. the woman who raised sargeant johnson and she said she felt like her son had been disrespected. i m not asking you about what congresswoman wilson had to say, as you rightly know, making these phone calls is probably one of the hardest things a commander in chief has to do. given that, is the president reconsidering the way he communicates with these families? has general kelly counselled him on how he might want to choose or change his words in the future? general kelly was present for the call and thought it was completely appropriate. he thought the call was respectful and he thought that the president did the best job he could under those circumstances to offer condolences on the part of the country. the mexican negotiators have
the wife, the widow said that the president did not know his name and kept saying, your guy, your guy? just because the president said your guy, i don t think that means that he doesn t know his name. as the president stated, the hardest job he has is making calls like that. i think it is appalling what the congresswoman has done and the way that she s politicized this issue and the way that she is trying to make this about something that it isn t. this was a president who loves our country very much who has the greatest level of respect for men and women in the uniform and wanted to call and offer condolences to the family and i think to try to create something from that that the congresswoman is doing is frankly appalling and disgusting. she said about niger. what do you say about what she said about the mission? as i said to the major, i m not going to get into the details of that. was she right? i m not going to get into the
along. the process that is in place when there is a conflict between the executive branch and congress about what can be disclosed and what can t. i have one minute here, asha, so i want to get your input on this thing, shothough, he said this committee he had not been interviewed by the special counsel, robert mueller. what did you make of that? i don t know that that s entirely surprising. mueller is going to be moving in a very methodical way and i think he s going to be getting as much information as he can about the big picture before he goes and interviews the principals in the investigation who really have he s going to want he s going to want to know the answers to the questions before he asks them. that s really important in an investigation, so i don t know that it s entirely surprising that he hasn t yet interviewed sessions. i did find it a little surprising that sessions wasn t really sure whether mueller had made the request or not. it seems like that would be a t
this time we really, really, mean it, effort to once and for all end obamacare. once again it is john mccain that came into save or ruin the day depending on your point of view. eight weeks ago, mccain gave his now famous middle of the night thumbs down to a previous repeal and replace plan. this time it came in a more dramatic fashion. i cannot in good conscientious vote for the graham-cassidy bill. i think we can work together with the democrats and republicans and we have not tried. the bill is unpopular with voters and it is opposed by a who is who of medical organizations. with democrats united, 48 no votes. with two republicans already opposed and it will take just one more republican vote to kill the bill, but president trump is not giving up. the president went after mccain as the latest repeal effort appears on the edge of failure yet again. it s tougher without mccain. i ll be honest, it s a little
