Well talk a lot about this and well get back to harvey in just a few minutes. Now back to the political storm. The president at odds with the gop leadership. But the white house says all relationships are status quo. I think it relationships are fine. Certainly there will be policy differences. But there are a lot of shared goals. We are disappointed obama care, they failed to get it repealed and replaced.

First, lets get to the search for Common Ground between donald trump and the republican party. We saw the presumptive gop nominee going to washington this week for a series of critical meetings with heavy hitters, including House Speaker paul ryan. While hes holding back on endorsing mr. Trump right now, ryan says they are moving in that direction. It is no secret donald trump and i have had some disagreements. That happens with people. That happens with republicans.

Joining me now, someone who has endorsed donald trump, nebraska senator, deb fischer. She also attended mr. Trumps capitol hill meeting on thursday. Senator, good see you. Thank you
Defeated president incapable of accepting the fact of his loss. With the gop paving the way for trumps lies, standing up for the truth falls on Public Servants like chris krebs. He was fired for doing his job and refusing to participate in the president s big lie that the election was hacked. There is no foreign power that is flipping votes. Theres no domestic actor flipping votes. I did it right. We did it right. This was a secure election. Krebs appeared on 60 minutes last night and inspired another round of rage viewing from donald trump, who is holed up in the white house ranting and fuming about his loss. The Washington Post in a stunning piece of reporting from the weekend, writing that his isolation at this point resembles that of a mad king. Quote, the facts were indisputable, President Trump had lost, but trump refused to see it that way.

That they are kind of getting used to how he conducts himself and his disregard for the facts. And thats a remarkable thing for an american president , members of his own party, in the congress to say. Its where we are. And im kind of used to it too now, because you talk to members of the congress. And in private, they dont even bother offering a defense of this president.
