don t want to engage militarily with russia so as not to spark a wider conflict between nato and russia. but here, putin is doing what he has done time and time again. he is creating uncertainty and confusion which means they won t necessarily know as a block with nato, can they keep imposing sanctions or with the regard that as an act of war and retaliate militarily against the block? . , retaliate militarily against the block? . . , , ., block? and that s the problem of deahnu block? and that s the problem of dealing with block? and that s the problem of dealing with someone block? and that s the problem of dealing with someone who - block? and that s the problem of dealing with someone who acts l block? and that s the problem ofl dealing with someone who acts so rationally dealing with someone who acts so rationally. moving the goalpost and nato has rationally. moving the goalpost and nato has its redlines, its defensive lines and nato has its redlines, its defensive
planning a pressure campaign. and essentially they re saying, look, you guys ran on repealing obamacare for four straight elections. you keep dithering, moving the goalpost, and there s no repeal. this was, perhaps, the single most important the clearest mandate you had from republican voters, repeal the thing already. and if that doesn t happen in short order, i think that you re going to see the threat of primaries in the next election, katy. is this a repeal or more like john boehner said, an amendment? well, it s basically what it does is it keeps in place a lot of the more popular provisions of obamacare, like the provision that allows children to remain or adults young adults to remain on their parents plans. it does pre-existing conditions? yeah, pre-existing conditions. you put it that way, it is more
primaries. donald trump didn t run a classic conservative republican race. so when he comes out with a position like a 35% tariff which i think to him is a moving the gold post negotiating position you re going to see many republicans in congress who are from conservative orthodoxy who say no, not for us. would you support a 35% tariff? i d like to let this thing play out. i would like to see donald trump see what he can accomplish by moving the goalpost, by negotiating differently with foreign allies, foreign nations, and see where we end up. i would like to see better trade deals if possible, i have always been a free trader but i don t mind bringing change to the way things are being done. let s talk about air force one. you say trump s move to cancel the order is refreshing. explain. here s what i think is going on. for all the years i was in washington, 21 years, you get used to a certain way. it s always been done that way, cost overruns always happen, it takes longer a
overhanging economy about regulation, health care and so forth a lot of the money has not come out of the banks and into loans to businesses or consumers. it s gone straight into the stock market. and money moves markets. now, you re right, the fed did not say tightening up. it said just not adding as much. and the paradox is, chairman bernanke said, we ll stop adding as we see the economy is strong enough to do it on its own. so, really that s not bad news for stocks. a growing economy. the idea that a lot of excess money will flow into the market, of course, scares that it will stop happening scares market participants. another surprise out of the news conference, moving the goalpost. when the jobless rate hit 7% the fed will likely pull back. we re at 7.6%. explain how lower unemployment could lead to negative results for the market. well, it s one of these things where if things go up too
boehner and mcconnell and others that he s tried to negotiate with is that he s shattered the trust by moving the goalpost, by playing politics with these issues. the president doesn t do policy. the president does politics. the reason why he s forced to deal right now is because he s in a tight spot and can t get anything passed. will the chips were on the table, when the agreement was agreed to, the speaker couldn t deliver his members. that was then, this is now. let me just hope this is nothing a few drinks can t solve. all right? let s hope they can open some affordable wine, not upset the taxpayers. it s got to be a nice dinner. when the president calls, you go and with an open mind, but i say caution. i agree. you ve got to open with a big cocktail. that s right. all right. thanks to both. and now to the big dig. right now, major winter storm is
