culture shock, no doubt about it but it is not that different than many respects from the relationship that we built with germany and japan after world war ii and after bitter, deadly warfare. they became two of our closest allies. i m not saying we are there with vietnam yet but strategic reality changes and our policy changes. judge jeanine: what about the whole idea that here we have the president meeting with the head of the communist party and i can t wait for the left to get started with that. the more left is interested in socialism and communism cells but will that be a subject of criticism as is just about everything president does? i am sure someone criticized but maybe we can talk to them about the virtues of capitalism. this is what happens. if we re having trouble i m a baby boomer as well and the vietnam era is very large in the minds of everyone who was around at the time but this is culture

watching cable news. we can lose the viewer, that s okay. but next week when he comes back and the reality changes and health care gets brought back up, how dramatic will the shift be next week and what s on the top of the agenda, do you think? i think what s on the top of the agenda is making sure that the senate has heard many of these complaints that voters have raised to the house with the health care bill. i mean, since he s left, we ve seen the cbo score and people have been quite critical of this plan in ways that they maybe weren t before. and i think he s going to have to respond to how so many of the people who voted for him could be negatively impacted by it. it s interesting, he s going to own health care if they keep moving on this path, and he s going to own health care. when i talk to health care economists, they say this is now going to be trumpcare, and there s going to be as many problems with this as there were with obamacare. but do you think he ll have to wei
