cultural issue inside the country. but you don t say it out loud. that s what i think was so amazing about this. bannon is saying we want race to be an issue. we want the country to be divided over this. because we re gonna win. so you add that, i think, on the ledger of things you simply don t say in an interview, and you add what i called on the show earlier the scaramucci moment. there are certain things that you simply can t say and survive and he didn t survive. bret: so there are conservatives, charlie, saying this is the last of the trumpians besides president trump himself. and tucker carlson earlier on this show look at everybody else who is advising the president and would they feel uncomfortable in a hillary clinton administration? i mean, what about that for conservatives who look at this administration and say this is not the one that i saw? i think that s a very good point. but it s also worth
story. they have of course referred to it as a hoax. they are trying to turn the page on that narrative. the campaign branch even fund-raising off of it. of course, some frustration with mistakes that have been made and owned up to, so i think that s why you saw her lash out in that way. it is a strategy. the response from brian, he has given interviews in the wake of that and said hey, look, he felt as though the media was being bullied and at that point he had had enough. that was his breaking point. but again, i think it does underscore what you pointed out at the top, which is that there are tensions, particularly as the press continues to push for more access and for more briefings to be on camera. this as you mentioned is going to be another off camera briefing today. you know, i understand the argument that the white house is frustrated with the coverage on russia, but this is not new. they have been going after the press since day one starting with the inauguration crowds and

covering people and in slowing the growth rate of health care costs. health care costs, yes, they have gone up. they always go up. but they have grown more slowly since obamacare than any time in our nation s history. premiums jonathan has something of a point there. obamacare wasn t popular when it passed but it s popular now. a majority of people do support it, people who have that health care. they may not have been able to keep their doctor as they were promised at the time but the opposition and the support for the republican plan is dismal, to say the least. why not go in, why aren t republicans going in and making the fixes that need to be made to obamacare, fixing, maybe keep your doctor aspect of it, then touting that and saying look what we did, we made this not only sustainable, we made it better for you. well, you are absolutely right, obamacare is more popular than it has ever been and by comparison, it is amazing how little support the republican plan has. i go back
