first of all, they have to take a deep breath. see what happens next. at the same time, what is the nature of the relationship that they want to have with the russians. are they open-eyed and clear-headed about it? jim said something yesterday as well that s spot on. the russians are not our friends. they are out this is a part of the great game. these are guys that are folks that have been intent on undermining our national security for generations. and this is just the latest chapter in that. if we re going to change the way we do business with them, we have to be a lot smarter about how we do that. frank montoya. thank you for joining us. jill and phil, stick around. we have much more to talk about. including president trump. talking tough to a key american ally this morning. we ll fill you in on what he s saying about germany and what it might mean for the europe alliance overall. after the break.
right. okay. yeah. but you support the investigations as they re going on? i just want to i am curious. that s fine. special counsel has been appointed. let him do his job. let s move on to the governance and running a government and actually passing legislation and having the president sign it. so, on the topic of governance. bringing in jill and phil. republicans, as jason is talking about, they have a lot they want to get done. the hill was a pretty good wrap upof the top five goals. adopting a budget. raising the debt limit. avoid a government shut down. tax reform, health care. how realistic is any of this and how do they stop the president essentially from maybe getting in their way? this is a problem that we have seen again and again. it s hard to say at this point. the health care plan they put forward obviously was going to have enormous hurdles being passed by the senate. you had the president tweeting today saying we just need to
let s do that. put something forward so that the people in the congressional districts or in the states where the senators are running can demonstrate that they ve actually been proactive in trying to get this government in rein. jason osborne, thank you very much for joining us here, from over an capitol hill. i appreciate it. jill and phil, stick around. coming up next, over to the pentagon. today the u.s. military will see if it can shoot down an incoming ballistic missile. the pentagon is testing a new defense system as the threat grows from north korea. we re talking about our own hans nichols after the break. liberty mutual stood with us when a fire destroyed the living room. we were able to replace everything in it. liberty did what? liberty mutual paid to replace all of our property that was damaged. and we didn t have to touch our savings. yeah, our insurance won t do that. well, there goes my boat.
with prime minister netanyahu s speech to congress the reactions to that will be important both in the u.s. and israel. phil you heard jason chaffetz the congressman just here in the situation room saying he would support a preemptive u.s. military strike forget about the negotiations he would simply support a preemptive military strike to destroy all of iran s nuclear plants nuclear capabilities. is that realistic? a strike against what? you ve got three options here. strike a program that you cannot in my judgment destroy. number two, step away from negotiations. i believe the inevitable result would be an iranian nuclear program, three, engage in bad negotiations that will lead to a difficult result that might lead to iranian nuclear program. you would think in washington, d.c. that republicans and democrats, both sides have an easy solution. there is no easy solution here. fran what do you think? yeah look phil s right. there is no easy solution here. i will say to you it
