will never meet with the freedom caucus. these two groups of people are at each other s throats. i think it constitutes a third party inside the congress, it s like fascist, it s like italy. [laughter] they set themselves outside. there s nothing they can do that s positive. all they can do is block things from happening. paul all and yet, kim, without them, let s say they have 30 members, we don t know exactly how many they have, that s enough to kill any bill because they only have a majority of 22. is is trump smart to go after them or is this going to make them dig in and blow up everything? well, the evidence so far is that his pounding on them a little bit seems to be having some sort of impact. you ve had a couple of members of the freedom caucus who have left the caucus or criticized the caucus itself for going down the road that it did go down. the president has been tweeting
the president is clearly frustrated with this division of the republican party. holding everyone in washington accountable. for seven long years, the g.o.p. ran on repealing enter placing obamacare. they said give us the house. they got it in 2010. give us the house and senate, they got it in 2014. give us a house-senate and presidency? they got that on november 8th. it is not the freedom caucus that is responsible for the g.o.p. failure to repeal and replace obamacare. this legislation wasn t wrong from the beginning. it was free to behind closed doors. not one single member saw the bill until it was rolled out. that made it a disaster. i do not know who is telling the white house to focus their anger on the freedom caucus but i do think it is misplaced. i have talked to them, they want to make a deal and work with the president and the country. my advice tonight to speaker ryan and her best to mike to mike the rest of
to the american people. i think there is a way to get this done. it starts with something that s a major argument. if you design the right bill, if you did the right things for rural america, you did a lot of democrats you get a lot of democrats to vote for because people back home would win it. popular and communicated enough to win the argument so they have to find some gimmick. friday, the freedom caucus actually blocked the republicans from throwing away their majority. if they had voted for a bill that was at 70% approval 17% approval, ten or 12 days to run. hillary care broke 40 years of democratic control. obamacare lead to the democratic party defeat in 2010. a vote on friday might well have been the end of the republican majority in the house. i m very concerned about where they are at right now. tucker: i m very concerned
congress is simple. you need to get all the different factions in your caucus together. get them together with senators like rand paul and mike lee and mitch mcconnell and secretary price. i have this before. get all the factions, the moderate scum of the tuesday group, the study group, the freedom caucus. order pizza, get beer. i don t care if you include coloring books. get a consensus bill like you ve been promising the country for eight years, get it done and get it on the president s desk. that is your mission. follow your mission and your promise. not ideology. it is what is good for the american people. a promise he made everybody. we continue with newt gingrich. mr. speaker, how do you roll out a bill and not show one member of the house what s in the bill? how do not appeal to moderates moderates as you know, my newsletter came out yesterday, posted on fox news.
