with north korea, we essentially didn t we had reason to believe that they had some nuclear capability already. in other words, there was a nuclear danger to the united states. right. if we took a strike, a first strike at north korea. with iran, because of the iran agreement, because these things have been verified, we know that iran does not have that same nuclear capability that north korea did. right. so it s a different kind of country that this president would be going after, and i think many people believe that for him, he may be thinking, in other words, that iran is an easier adversary, and so war could be something that he considers more possible. yeah, except they have boots on the ground unlike most of the hot spots in that part of the world that the united states is concerned about. we re going to take that on in a later segment about why he might be instigating things in iran. but while i have you, the president that style, on the substance level, he spent a
agreement, because these things have been verified, we know that iran does not have that same nuclear capability that north korea did. right. so it s a different kind of country that this president would be going after, and i think many people believe that for him, he may be thinking, in other words, that iran is an easier adversary, and so war could be something that he considers more possible. yeah, except they have boots on the ground unlike most of the hot spots in that part of the world that the united states is concerned about. we re going to take that on in a later segment about why he might be instigating things in iran. but while i have you, the president that style, on the substance level, he spent a lot of time on fisa, and he basically makes three determinations from what came out, as heavily redacted as it is. he says, one, it was all about the dossier, the fisa application. two, it turns out that it was done in shady fashion, and it wasn t disclosed to the judges
house i had the job of communications director. and the job was about getting your arms around all of the ways that the president communicated. so to me the first mission for anthony scaramucci is either responsible for the tweets that are of questionable sort of you know, reprehensible on the substance level and questionable legally. but what do you think about just the early signs that scaramucci s direction is to, you know, if trump has been sort of drinking you know, like drinking out of a fire hose to digest his messages they have now flooded the basement. they re going full trump. i keep coming back to the statement, a maxim of politics. what scaramucci and say, let trump be trump that s code for we we can t control the guy anyway, so let s call this a strategy and move forward. what s more interesting i think and you see congress being more is it working?
security reporter. you said jared kushner did a great job fielding questions. he had plenty of time to prep for it. on a substance level, where does the subpoena for paul manafort come from? what do they think manafort knows? what information do they think he s sitting on that they want to compel him to speak before the judiciary committee? i think manafort found himself in a turf battle. the other witnesses were able to make a deal with the judiciary committee. he said he just wanted to talk to the intelligence committee. senator grassley is offended by that and now we have a subpoena. i wouldn t be shocked if they didn t reach a deal. it s hard to imagine paul manafort wants the spectacle of having to go to the hill and plead the fifth amendment. it s hard to imagine his lawyers want him to testify in public. i think today was a pretty good day for donald trump on the
going to like what they find out once they get on the web site. they have to actually find a way to rework it at the substance level that they really didn t take the time and care, if you speak to people who are familiar with the negotiations on the front end. steve? don t rework it. end it once you end it, the centerpiece of any follow-on reform has to be what george mentioned universal tax credits for the purchase of insurance. john goodman at the national center for policy analysis known as the father of health savings account came up with a plan in which he suggests tax credits for $2,500 per individuals. $8,000 per family of four. which are the same what the cbo tells us new medicaid enrollees will cost and give people the option of buying on the private market or jumping in to medicaid. but you are talking there about upending the current system. right. it takes a big political lift to do that for the 80% who get their healthcare from employees, from their
