counties. why not put your own proactive health care reform bill that would address things like what is handing in ethan happening i it in front of donald trump and say there is an alternate path? i haven t seen any democrat doing that which could have prevented what we saw yesterday. i do think we should have an affirmative health care plan. i don t think there is any question that we need to have again an of affirmative agenda. but let s not fool ourselves, there is absolutely no republican interest in working with the democrats at all. they have no interest in doing it, they are doing what they call the half stret rule which can means they have to pass it in their own caucus or they don t bring it to the floor. but i think simple things that we could do is extend the money that we give out to help working class people. it ends at $90,000 a year for a family. that means if you make 100 grand, you re not getting the kind of help you need to be able
shape what s going forward. the question i have is whether trump has a team that can really capitalize on this, in the sense of pushing u.s. policies, u.s. plans for how we get an end game in a way that will leave us more secure when it s over. but the disruption does seem to be producing some benefits. david, we had a south korean expert on the other day who said while he was alarmed by some of the language that president trump has used about kim jong-un, saying he s a smart cookie, flattering him in these ways, there may be something to flattering kim jong-un in the way that putin has figured out flattering donald trump will work to his advantage. do you buy that at all, that there s a strategy in the way that donald trump speaks about kim jong-un in a way that no other u.s. president has? i think what they saw was the battle space ends up being the metropolis of seoul, large-scale
his ever-changing mind. what to do? ignore what s behind the curtain. deal with what comes out in front. the policy, the announcements, the actions. so far they hang together eno h enough neil gorsuch, keystone xl, nato reassurances, syria strike, cabinet appointments that one can begin to talk plausibly about the normalization of the presidency. what happens when the phone rings at 3:00 in the morning? let it ring. let the wizard sleep. forward the call to mattis. that s a good one. joe? i think most of us would degree with that. there is i have i side with david ignatius and have for some time. disruption in foreign policy can be good sometimes. it put the chinese back on their heels. donald trump blasted the chinese
and let s move life-maybe once i look at the canadian health system, thank you, mr. president, let us move to a medicare for all system that does what every other major country does, be guarantee health care to all people at a fraction of the cost per capita that we spend. thank you mr. president. we ll quote you on the floor ever tof the senate. oh, wow. after the day s big health care vote, president trump met with australian prime minister malcolm turnbull and that was bernie sanders last night on chris hayes enjoying the irony of the president s comments. joining us now here onset, australia s ambassador to the united states, ambassador joe hockey. very good to see you this morning. great to be here. joe has the first question. joe, take it away. yeah, mr. ambassador, it has been a rocky 100 days or so for donald trump. and our most steadfast allies over the past 100 years as the
exactly what republicans did in 1993 to marjorie. you know her entire name. but to marjorie in 93, they all waved bye-bye and after they voted for bill clinton s tax increase and sure enough be careful what you wish for. that is a lesson then and now. the republicans on obamacare is almost like the famous dog finally catching the car its been chasz iing. the effects especially on trump s own voters will be very severe. and this is going to be i think quite a poisonous political issue. it showed me yesterday watching just how radiant donald trump was, i saw him in new york afterward when he came up for an event here, he was just glowing.
