action and therefore, i don t think you can criticize and write him off for that. dana: why did he vote for the bill two weeks ago? kennedy: this is what i think and i don t want to speak for him but kennedy: the skinny bill was meant to be gutted. completely hollowed out. it was going to be a franken bill that was not going to resemble itself at all by the time it got to the house. kimberly: like the skinny bill margarita. [laughter] juan: republicans are not o sincere about it. it s a great start. i m with you, jesse. is this a bill that was promised over seven years a vote that s better than obamacare? 60% of americans say no, let s keep obamacare and fix it with things that make it better. republicans are intent on somend political victory because they have known and they say let s push this on the week even though it s not better for the american people. dana: let s do what america does best. take it out of washington, d.c., and let the states decide. this is a bil
what he had to say. the final point i have to make is the iranian president had some very interesting responses to this speech. vladimir putin loved it. dana: so did benjamin netanyahu. kimberly: benny and the jets. juan: i will say the iranian leader said if the united states pulls out of this deal, there goes their credibility for any future negotiation on any difficult we will resume going after nukes. how, i thought, are we supposed to stop them if we pull out of the deal? jesse: i can think of a few ways, juan. it would not be good for the iranians. under the obama administration, we gave them hundreds of billions of dollars yet they ve tested 18 ballistic missiles since the bill was signed. they are stirring up trouble and causing civil wars in syria. they are harassing our vessels in the straights. i don t think this deal was d gd for america. i don t think it was good foror
come to the compromise. you had mike lee, ted cruz, even rand paul who was so critical of that senate bill support the skinny bill and then you have these other republicans who decided not voting. gianno: he blamed only john mccain. dagen: one quick thing, president trump and mitch mcconnell need to work together because if nancy pelosi and those democrats take over the house, it s going to be an impeachment hearing. sandra: president trump saying he ll do whatever it takes to get funding for that border wall including shutting down the government. a good tactic to help deliver on one of his biggest campaign promises or could it backfire? plus espn facing backlash for pulling a broadcaster because he happens to have the same name as confederate general robert e le lee. is this something else?
bipartisanship. look, the american people didn t vote last year for bipartisanship. they said they don t like free trade and all of the middle east wars we ve been gotten into by almost unanimous votes on capitol hill. we want our border control. we don t want open borders. i think general kelly the one concern about general kelly coming to the white house, is that he s done a magnificent job taking on that assignment over there. and i think, frankly, it s going to be quite a day at the white house when he arrives. i respect john mccain for not going along with the others who said we re all voting for snag we know and in fact don t even want to become the law of the land of the so-called skinny repeal. cut it out, michael. mccain knew very well it was going to go over to the house. and the house agreed they weren t just going g ting to r stamp the skinny repeal. republican party said we re going to repeal and replace it.
obamacare that the americans hated and it leaves the backbone of the aca intact. it s inexplicable that we have a party in the senate that s basically become the oh, let s put water and toilet paper thrown up against the wall when they could be pushing health savings accounts and health care cooperatives and getting rid of the monstrosity and offering competition and choice. sorry, kellyanne, as a conservative, those are the things i believe in deeply and that s what the president is talking about. that s right. the president talked about it just this week in several addresses. like i said, the skinny repeal, i have never heard that phrase. when members of the house and senate ran successfully on repealing and replacing obamacare. i didn t hear them say swim at the edges. cut and shave here. i think this is why, frankly, congress has such a low approval rating.
