listen, he s totally able to conduct this investigation. paul ryan and devin nunes have a longstanding relationship. they served on the ways and means committee for many years before they were in these high-profile positions, so ryan is going to tend toward devin nunes in this fight. and when will the democrats and the rest of the community be able to see the information nunes was able to see? it s a tough question, and this is a prime example of the scarred and very tough feelings between democrats and republicans on capitol hill. because of this kind of lack of cooperation on things like this. when donald trump says he s going to work with democrats on capitol hill to pass lejts la legislation, we kind of see this and think, you re not even at the starting block. you re not at step one. the relationship is pretty bad right now and this underscores that. how does the white house get out from underneath the
deals. steph? i have to bring the panel in to break this down. bob urlich, you worked on obamacare under the last administration. governor, i want to start with you. we know president trump loves to negotiate, he loves the art of the deal. is he looking at this it s his space. it s his space, but is he looking in the right way? if he wins, do the american people lose? he said first inning before we began. i said first quarter. it s the first quarter. everybody is breathless in this town. as a former whip, i love this stuff. it s a great day. this is also the art of the deal and the first big test of the trump presidency. this is a big deal. it s a starting block. of course, it is the first inning, the first half. it s not even halftime. this bill will go to the senate
