house correspondent from the washington examiner gabby moore. good morning to you. what s their strategy? it looks like nancy pelosi and chuck schumer wants republicans to cave to a party that s no longer in power. i think the comments we saw from the house minority leader really display almost a stunning sense of entitlement. they wants the white house to cave to them. they want the white house and republicans in congress to work with democrats to basically enact the progressive liberal agenda that pelosi and schumer have been trying to push through since the days of the obama administration u. steve: sure. really, that s not the strategy that s going to work here. i mean, what they should be looking to do is emulate the movants and the strategy and message we have seen from democratic senators like joe manchin and heidi heitkamp and joe donnelly in indiana who have been working with the white house on things like tax reform and looking
now. it lasted movants. a lot of floor debate. and months to attempt to negotiate with the republicans. this is different republicans are still producing a product that there s no reason to think it s going to be popular. part of the drawback, one of the many of doing it in secret is they re not getting a sense of what people think of they re doing. when they give this vote without much debate, they re taking a big political risk. steve, we like you to speak for the entire business community here. how does business feel about the status quo? how will markets and businesses react if this fails and the affordable care act stays on the books? i don t think business is focussed on it in terms of stock market or things like that. i think business is comfortable with the affordable care act. this is crazy to overgeneralize, probably generally in favor of
welcome back, everyone. i m alex witt alongside ali velshi and louis burgdorf. it s the bottom of the hour. as president obama called for a, quote, course correction on globalization, this while addressing his last foreign audience as president yesterday. from greece he travelled to germany, where he s set to hold a private meeting with chancellor angela merkel. the two are expected to hold a joint news conference sometime later this afternoon and are already touting the relationship between the two nations in a joint op-ed published in germany this morning. ahmad rahami has been charged in court almost two movants to the day after he allegedly planted bombs in the chelsea area of new york city. he faces life in prison. officials are still investigating possible terrorism ties. second-degree manslaughter is among the charges filed
