He may be someone who in many respects is irrational, but he is not insane. Also in the president s interview with routers you saw there, he weighed in the demands of the oval office and the take away and mr. Trump saying being president isnt easy. I loved my previous life. I loved my previous life. I had so many things. I actually this is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. Not exactly a new idea that being president is tough. President obama suggested that he had more problems than many other president s first coming into office after the first 100 days. At any rate, the thing were looking ahead to right now is the appearance of Rex Tillerson, the Secretary Of State at the United Nations chairing a highlevel meeting to talk about north korea. Buckling to international pressure. They say this will only encourage their country to grow its arsenal more quickly. Its been a busy week on the ground here. You saw that exercise with hundreds of artillery fired s
argument do that now. this is a choice. this is a choice that i think the american people need to be aware of, that some states can choose that people with pre-existing conditions can lose the guarantee of no, no, no. that s not accurate. in obamacare, pre-existing conditions is a regulation in there. we re not getting rid of that regulation. it is still staying. absolutely true. but you are removing the requirement that insurance companies charge the same amount for people with pre-existing conditions. so if you hike the price on them, and this is the argument dan donovan made. that s what i just covered. that s not going to happen because also in the bill it assures that can t happen. no, no. read the bill. no, i did. the state has to come up with a better plan that assures that won t happen and a lynn ral government and a liberal state is not going to do that. you can t pass the common sense
donald trump seems to be on a 100th day ratcheting up the idea of war on the korean peninsula, a war nobody wants. but i think part of that strategy is this new friendship with china and perhaps u.s./china can be the two big super powers with a face and you don t have china reacting to what the united states may do to north korea. i think he feels it will be a military win and people will see him as a strong commander in chief. all right. thanks so much. we are waiting to hear from the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson. will he announce this new willingness to negotiate with north korea. he speaks to the united nations very shortly. where are the votes on health care? an update and head count and whether the effort to repeal and replace obamacare may be dead for good. and the president s obsession with the electoral map. why he revealed a map of red
kind of talking about rough he has it now. it was an unusual experience of talking to these reporters. i don t know why he decided to mor ph those together like that he brought up health care and another major development overnight. house republican leadership delayed or pulled back the notion they would get a vote on this effort to repeal and replace obamacare. i was looking at the hill. you ve got a pretty high count for people against it or leaning against it. the votes aren t there now. will they ever be? that s a great question. we ve got 21 no or leaning no. there are cousins of other republicans who have not said where they stand. so if they pass this through the house, it is going to be by the thinnest of margins. also, remember, democrats have some leverage even though they don t control congress or the white house. they need democrats to keep the
test on this. the requirement is in the amendment is that the states have to justify it in one of five ways, one of them would be providing access to people with pre-existing conditions, but that s not a requirement. they could also justify it by saying i m lowering premiums for everybody. what state is donovan from? he s from the state of new york, sir. good. how do you think new york is going to go down that road? right? that s what i m saying. last time on the financial crisis, we let the federal government say banks don t have to assess risk anymore, right? banks can t do banking anymore like you are saying on the insurance here. we had a housing collapse ruin the financial markets. now the federal government in its infinite wisdom is going to weigh in and say insurance can t do insurance and you have to charge the same prices for everybody. it s already in the ditch. obamacare failed. and so what we re trying to do is fix the insurance system and still provide for everyone
