the senate floor. that s when you talk to republican senators where they feel like they can make changes. so long as the bill gets over here. when it comes to the house, no question at all, the headline has created problems. they already a jittery conference, house moderates wary of the top line number. house conservatives wanting to be firmer in what it does to medicaid expansion. speaker ryan s strategy is unchanged. the process going forward is they don t plan major changes or any changes to the bill. it s expected to get to the house floor as soon as next week. their gome right now is to, with the president s help, try to muster the 216 votes they need to get this over to the senate. almost muscle it through, if you will. that s the goal going forward. they don t want to make major changes right now. the big question, though, as the house starts to return tomorrow, is do they actually have the votes? there s no question when i talk to individuals that are involved in this process t
explanation from president trump about that. i would also love for him to explain all of his ties with russia, if any. maybe he doesn t have any ties like he says, but it would certainly boost our confidence if he would release his taxes going back decades so that way we would know the full story if he has financial dealings with russia or now. right now, that s a huge unanswered question. gentleman, thank you both there are much. ahead, new intention on speaker ryan s criticism of then candidate trump and why breitbart is posting it now. you really want to go. with the united mileageplus explorer card, you ll get a free checked bag, 2 united club passes. priority boarding. and 50,000 bonus miles. everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. the united mileageplus explorer card. imagine where it will take you.
obamacare. and repeal is a very simple bill like h.r.-175 that s two sentences long that says the act that created obamacare is hereby repealed. this so-called repeal effort is not a repeal. it s an amendment of obamacare and it s over 100 pages long so if we were going to stick to our word and repeal we would have a one or two page piece of legislation that would state obamacare is repealed, set a day at which the repeal is effective and in the interim work on whatever the replacement is going to be which from what i understand was speaker ryan s first game plan. somehow or another he shifted off of that. i wish he hadn t. let me ask you this. this gets to whip counts and whether leadership is misleading the president. steve scalise it s reported showed a picture of nancy pelosi and donald trump and said you guys are going to walk the plank, choose which team you re on, donald trump s team or nancy pelosi s team. what he s counting on is that individuals like yourself from going to
