Institution is crumbling the trust americans have in each other. The democrats are making the divide. Instead of working together, theyre fighting. Republicans, honestly, theyre looking out for their interests. The democrats are so nasty. It bothers me that were so separated as a nation. The right and the left dont just disagree on solutions. They cant agree on fundamental facts. We elected trump. We have to take what he says and believe what he says. Just 26 of republicans say they believe russia interfered in the president ial election compared to 78 of democrats and 53 of independents. They have phony witch hunts going against me. They have everything going. And you know what, all we do is win, win, win. Washington, producing a healthcare debate which is less debate and more all out rhetorical brawl. These cuts are blood money. People will die. You know what blood money is . Blood money is the money democrats are raising since the recent attempted massacre of those republicans at th
Not going anywhere. I think im worth the trouble frankly. Democrats on both sides of the issue join me this morning. Also Russian Election meddling and this stunning statement from an Obama Administration official. I feel like we sort of choked. What we now know about what the Obama White House knew. Joining me are sinidated call n columnist. Welcome to sunday. Its meet the press 3467. From nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, celebrating its 70inth year, this is meet the press. This was a week that brought into more focus the hardening of our political cultures. One left, one blue, one right, one red. To the russia investigation and even to the shooting at that republican baseball practice, americans watched their favorite cable channels, and spoke and listened primarily to those that agreed with them. Polls 38 gave President Trump a positive rating. 38 believe the economy has approved. 38 believe obalm care is a bad idea. Do you know notice a partne
Cancer. The president swinging against his own attorney general Jeff Sessions. Donald trump stopping just short of saying Jeff Sessions ought to be fired. I am disappointed in the attorney general. He should not have recused himself. Almost immediately after he took office. If he was going to recuse himself he should have told me prior to taking office and i would have quite simply picked somebody else. I think thats a bad thing not for the president , but for the presidency. Trish his frustration bubbling up amid the growing russia controversy as his soninlaw began a second dave testimony before congress. Why isnt Jeff Sessions looking into Hillary Clinton and why did he recuse himself from this investigation. Tammy, what do you think about what the president is doing and what the president is saying about Jeff Sessions . Tammy im a big fan of Jeff Sessions. I think hes fabulous.

The latest on all this. Reporter hey, carl. If a few hours ago, it was the calm before the storm, it now feels like the storm is approaching with members of the house scurrying back and forth, a flurry of activity as people are taking meetings and going back and forth from the floor as we build up to that vote this afternoon. Of course, this comes in the wake of what you mentioned, that ultimatum coming from the white house delivered by budget director mick mulvaney, although this morning on squawk box, he did now say its up to republicans to reach a consensus among their own party. Heres what he said. As to whether or not negotiations are ceased, i think we made it very clear last night that if the republicans need to work amongst themselves on the hill in order to tweak the bill a little bit here or there, in order to get the necessary votes to pass, thats fine with the president , as long as it doesnt change the underlying bill, and i doubt that it would at this point.
