checking bank accounts. how badly has it compromised the cia s mission especially as w k wickleaks only released is 1% of what they have. they knew a breach late last near yu didn t know what it was. with relations already strained between the trump administration and the intelligence community at the white house more criticism. this is the kind of disclosure that undermines our country and security and well-being. reporter: today, the president will meet with his cia director mike pompeo and no doubt told how bad the initial investigation is, how bad the damage is. nbc news andrea mitchell, thank you for that. there is still much more ahead on morning joe. all of a sudden, democrats are sounding a lot like republicans back when obamacare was making its way through congress. i would hope, mr. president, we would send this through the regular order because it
2014, specifically running against obamacare. they are not going to bend and break like that. trump may think he can intimidate people on a debate stage. these guys have their own careers. and bill kristol is right. they are going to go home and the main hospital administrator is going to pound them. the 20 doctors that held fund-raisers for them over the past for two years are going to hammer them. people in church will hammer them and they will get hammered by the local newspaper editorial boards and get if tfrom all sides. if anybody has the courage to have a town hall meeting they will get hammered. conservatives are going to be hammer them. the ama and aarp will hammer them. they are getting it from all side and they are going home not knowing what they are talking about because this was done in the middle of the night. they passed this at 2:00 a.m.
things republicans want to do out of taking power out of washington or in this legislation, one, it block grants medicaid from a federal program into a state program and was vetoed twice. this overrides bill clinton s veto. this overturns the supreme court decision about government mandates and gets rid of the obamacare mandate which became the core of this case going to supreme court. you talk about reducing the power of the federal government, a conservative approach, taking power out of washington and giving it to the states. two major issues. no more mandate and block granting medicaid. conservative dreams come true. if that is the case, why is heritage and club for growth against it and why are conservatives like jim jordan against it? because i think they want to improve which is part of the legislative process. i ve never seen somebody give up all of their leverage on day one and the way it s always been in washington.
and, yes, i ll vote for obamacare lite. a word for people like you that you just described called conservative and there is a bill open question in washington, d.c. in the trump era. what does conservativism mean? you look at the speech laid out before in congress we are going to have 500 billion dollars of military spending the next ten years and a trillion dollar of infrastructure spending. we are going to have corporate tax cuts and personal rate tax cuts. we are going to spend 50 billion on the wall. we are going to pass an obamacare repeal without it being scored by the congressional budget office. that is not very conservative. steve, steve, we did this before. we did this when george w. bush was president of the united states and justified it. you were worried about it. i wrote books and columns about it and i had segments on scarborough country about it.
guy you and i both respect very much, paul ryan. but nobody knows what is in this bill. the cbo is not going to have a chance to score this bill. actually, by obamacare standa s standards, this process looks even more close. do you agree with me that tom cotton, the house needs to slow down and be transparent and start over? absolutely, joe. what i would think they can do is now open up this process and at that time ryan care version and move back to a full repeal of obamacare, and put in about five or six changes that are republican core principles. cut all of the taxes immediately, block grant medicaid, force the insurance industry to compete across state lines, get rid of the regulations, get rid of the new kind of welfare program and the tax credit.
