we re taking this, and kind of whether it s china or anybody else, we will take this seriously. will this help with the release of the three americans still i m not going to make any comments about that. you said, quote, the president s firmly committed that we will cut the money off to north korea until they behave properly. how are you defining success with that? what are you exactly looking for? i think you re going to know success when you see it. i m not asking how do you in the administration view it. i think you re going to i think everybody will know success. their behavior is unacceptable. and it will be very clear, kind of we want them to stop doing tests, the ballistic missile programs and others. it s very clear. mr. secretary, i want to ask you something that a lot of people don t understand and you re uniquely qualified to explain. the administration and congress are saying there will be $321 billion in savings from the health care bills that are out t
appointees that have just never been identified. that s not the fault of any democrat. that s not the fault of the press. that s not the fault of anybody else. the administration is really sort of playing with its reputation on an almost daily basis and for the president to so cavalierly hijack this particular news cycle, throw out this vulgar, obscene taunt and expect for people to kind of clean up behind him, that might be sarah huckabee sanders s job, that s not anybody else s job. not to be ignored. yes, ma am. let s be clear. i would love to be talking about something different. i d love to be talking about this horrible trumpcare bill that s going to take away my health insurance and health insurance from 23 million americans and leave us worse off as an economy. i d love to be talking about their plan to give tax breaks to billionaires and millionaires. we would love that. i feel so sad for my country today. this is you know, we ve had a lot of back and forth, we ve had
joe scar bro and mika brzezinski so like dana, i have to imagine that was a hard pill for sarah huckabee sanders to swallow, because what came out of her mouth today was nonsense. especially just as a woman, this wasn t sean spicer, this was a woman talking about her male boss talking about this woman on tv. chr chris, the man in the four box, i want to hear from you as well. what did you think of what she said? i mean, okay. there s a lot to be said, but let me just pick two things. attacking a woman for how she looks is not tough. throwing a punch at every person on the street does not prove that you re a good fighter. right? so, don t misappropriate those terms. tough people rarely have to go and push people down and tell them they re tough. do you know who does push people down to prove that they re tough? bullies. right?
are there any contingency plans in place in case health care doesn t get done and thirdly, janet yellen, how much is the administration is the administration seriously considering her to remain on as fed chair. that s an awful lot of questions so let me work ba backwards. again, no decisions have been made in regards to the fed chair. gary cohen and i will at some point make recommendations to the president but no decisions have been made on that. in regards to tax reform, i think as you ve heard gary and i say, we are very committed to get tax reform done this year. it is one of the president s top priorities for economic growth. i think the people of america understand that, that we need economic growth and we re committed to doing that. i expect that health care, hopefully, will get done, but regardless, we are committed to getting tax reform done and you had so many questions, i forgot your first one. and then how much let me actually follow up with you on tax reform if you
effective and informative and republicans on this question are split down the middle. half of republicans say that they re reckless and distracting. so, how can you argue that this is something the president must do? i answered this question yesterday in regards to the poll. i think any time the president has a chance to speak directly to the american people, it s a good thing. sarah, how do you feel about the president attacking another woman, specifically for her looks, and what does that show as an example to how men should be treating other women? look, everybody wants to make this a an attack on a woman. what about the constant attacks that he receives or the rest of us? i m a woman, and i ve been attacked by this show multiple times but i don t cry foul because of it. i think that, you know, you want to create this false narrative, one hand it s like let s treat everybody equally, and on the other hand, they attack, attack, attack, and he responds and apparently that s wr
