we re having higher co-pays, higher deductibles and i don t see the senate being able to do nothing. they have a bill in front of they will. it is their job in my opinion to move on that bill and improve upon it or do their own zming let s continue the day that. if the senate doesn t do anything, what happens? i think hopefully go back to the drawing board. and this time around, it is done in a bynum way where we sit together and try to fix it. there are plenty who want to fix the aca. you can either take two proexs. you either obstruct for the sake of on it our side or you refuse to work together on their side. i think both answers are the wrong answers. you have to get together and be willing to solve problems like health care. i m hopeful that that s what happens, that we can work together on health care. right now it seems like it is destined for failure. what a pleasure to talk to you. really interesting to find out about congressman reed s family. i look forward to seeing y
russia s laser guided diplomatic weapon. others describe it as president putin s slush fund. the truth is somewhere in between there which brings you to the question, why was the head of that bank going to meet with jared kushner? now as you mentioned, they are subject to sanctions so perhaps the meeting was simply about, is it a change to the sanctions? it could be because it was suggested by the bank that it was something to do with business going on here. we simply don t know. i tried to ask. didn t get any answers. there are official responses from both gorkov s side and jared kushner s lawyers but they don t, the answers don t match. that s right. one side says it was about business. the other side says jared kushner was there as a member of the transition team and that is what it was about.
then we haven t really heard from them since then. another point about the bank. it was, one of the bankers in new york was deported just last year, accused of spying so there are also lots of suggestions of links to the sfb, the new name for the kgb. so it is murky. we can t cast dispersions without knowing what happened at the meeting but we don t know what happened at the meeting. and you re trying to get those answers. good work on that. continuing on try to get answers on this very complicated question. let s go to the white house. kelly o donnell is with us. so many questions on russia. a lot of questions, none of which sean spicer wished to answer in the meeting. they have a new policy and they re going to reflexively refer to it every time these questions come up.
that is to refer any questions related to the russia investigation to the president s outside counsel in new york. the problem is reporters haven t been able to get any response from his office. so it is an abyss which the press secretary is able to toss questions and we get no answers. separately on the matter of jared kushner, through the president s spokesperson, a firm affirmation that jared kushner is held in high regard by the president. that he is working on behalf of the country. and that he is involved and engaged in his portfolio which is always been considerable. of course, the president s he son-in-law which has been brought into this discussion because of inquiries about some of his contacts with russia, today from the lectern, sean spicer did say the president has full confidence in jared kushner, in his role here. we have not seen him publicly in the last few days but they say he is engaged in meetings and
this about his country s alleged interference in the 2016 election. it is easy to say, it is not our fault, it is the russians. they intervened, they interfered. the jews are to blame. you re an idiot because the jews are to blame. to kind of oversimplify the russia investigation, it is really a search for answers, who did what when. jared kushner met with a russian banker sergi gorkov. he said it was a business meeting with kushner as the head of the family firm but the warning about is under u.s. sanctions so it couldn t have been a business meeting unless kushner was planning to break u.s. law by doing business with that bank or unless they were discussing the removal of sanctions. both are bad scenarios. so nbc s reporter tried ask
