It it proved the house always wins, unless its speaker ryans house. Disappointment at the dems. You could see in his eyes the unfamiliar pain of losing could only be remedies by one of two things. A new golden toilet or certain and soon victory. Now the americans turn to taxes. We must turn to britney spears. Remember when she married her High School Flame for a day and a half . No one rrp remembers that guy. No one will remember the legislation that set off gag reflexes of conservatives and moderate alike who all told the president to stick it to the Freedom Caucus. This will be the big trashy trash lloydfilled romp that will force the president to shave his head and get a conservator or it will land him a soldout residency . Vegas. The Healthcare Plan was too hasty. The republicans only had 7 years to rewrite obamacare. Keep it simple. Show people the money, and do the math. And they shouldnt forget. Everybody loves lower taxes. Nobody loves getting hosed on healthcare. Healthcare is the domain of hot heads who blueser in the steam room of emotionalism and scairp each other to death. Its an unnatural environment for these men and women. You are a winner because you are here and im kennedy. Kennedy what matters is republicans stop gloating. That sounds great. But is that even follows in d. C. s heavily divide atmosphere . Peter suderman joins me. Welcome back. Peter, my first question is, what went wrong . Just about everything is one answer. So the republicans basically spent 7 years campaigning against obamacare and promising to replace the law. But they never built any consensus around the replacement. And they didnt spend very much time trying to build consensus around the law once they had it in place. Then you had problem President Trump didnt understand the details on this and he never made a case for the law on its policy merits. If you think about what President Trump and what speaker ryan were saying about this. They were saying you have to vote for it because you will lose your seat if you dont. They never made the case that you needed to vote for it because it was a good policy. They couldnt convince anybody that this bill would be good policy. Kennedy the emotional path from obamacare is littered with the bodies of democrats who voted for something bad simply because their party said get in line. I argued it was not necessarily the details, but the structural aspect of the legislation that provided the fatal flaws. You couldnt just tweak a few things and make members of the Freedom Caucus happy. This bill wanted to embrace a lot of the core structural elements much obamacare, but without the stuff that held obamacare together or sort of did. So what you what you ended up with was a zombie obamacare. It was going to melt down as quickly as next year. The cbo said 14 million fewer people would have Health Insurance under the republican bill. There were lastminute revisions no one even read. Experts were saying this would cause every insurer in the country to pull out of the individual market. And thats how badly this thing was put together. This is a throng standing failure of republicans to focus on the strublg structural elements on tax policy. Thats not something they did in this case and not something they have done for the last 7 years since obamacare has been in place. I disagree when were doing nothing the last 7 years, but they werent building a consensus like you said. There were many people who worried about the state of their income this country. Where do they go from here . Right now where he go is the status quo. Obamacare is shaky. Its foundations it doesnt work really well for a lot of people. We see insurers pulling out of the market. The big debate well see next is about whether the administration should prop up obamacare as the Obama Administration did through dubious legal measures, stuff like the republicans were suing the Obama Administration over. So we are going to see some serious debates about whether the administration should continue doing that sort of thing to try to stitch obamacare together. Store whether they should start on a new process and look for a different way to go about repealing the law and putting something totally different in place. Its necessary to scrap this entire thing. There is no way you can do a superficial overhaul and expect the Healthcare Industry to continue work. Peter suderman, thank you so much. Now well bring in our party panel. Julie roginsky. And dave smith and reason. Com editor. We have so much to talk about. After fridays shock setback. The president signaled he would be moving on his next political target, tax reform. But it wont be any easier. The gop plan will have to be fullblown tax reform. If you need any more proof how tough this could get, there hasnt been a federal groafer haul in the tax code for 28 years. The republicans are going to discover that fixing tax is equally as difficult as replacing obamacare was. I would like to see them tackle big projects, why not. Why not try to fix Something Like the corporate death tax. Why not kill the death tax which doesnt stay dead. Kennedy the bored adjustment tax, kevin brady and paul ryan are super hot on this and they swiped right, and they want a 20 tax imposed on imports who hurts Business Hospital have to get materials from other parts of the world to build things here. Its definitely a bad idea. If you talk to most economists they say we should abandon this plan all together, and the Trump White House doesnt like it that much from what i understand. Kennedy this an issue they can own and benefit. In the only corporations, but middle class americans, throw income americans. Even give the rich a tax break. Taxation is theft. We should have far less of it. Corporations arent lobbying we have a government run by the corporations. Thats why we have a 47page tax code. This is an issue the republicans have been pretending to care about. They are going to increase spending. Ron paul used to point this out all the time. Spending is the tax. Once we spend the money, we are going to print, borrow it or tax it. But its all going to come from the people. So we just print the money and everyones prices go up . Kennedy you cannot increase spending and reduce taxes. We learned that in the brush era. Well get a couple points down on the tax code. Thats what trump does in his budget. Hes not shrinking spending. Kennedy the token programs that go by the wayside like the nerks a and science spending, but that really is barely a drop in the bucket when you consider the elements of the budget that are never touched. The problem for tax reform, but real tax reform is the healthcare debacle. It makes it thats harder to do this year. Reconciliation has to be linked to deficit reduction. And with obamacare taxes staying in place, thats not tax, subsidies staying in place, thats going to link with deficit reduction. So its almost impossible to do one without the other. Thats why they have to do obamacare first. Kennedy its funny to hear democrats talk about deficit neutrality. They love deficit spending more than they love smothering people with Government Programs. The reason i say that, the rich made him do it. But donald trump is not going to make anybody do it, and paul ryan with his ayn rand obsession which some of you share here. We dont share it. Kennedy paul ryan does not believe in limited government. Julie we are all in agreement which is why i hate to be the bearer of bad news, its not going to happen. Tinker a little bit on the edges, lower it from the top right down, but thats about it. You think a leak to more its not trickle down economics. Has anybody ever done this successfully . He type there is a tax cut there will be is economic growth. There is a direct correlation. If you want to look into it, revenue went up. He got us into wars we shouldnt have been in. What happened . Revenue went up . Julie the problem is you wont have a president who will lower spending whatsoever. He will increase spending. You will cut taxes, then everybody is going to complain about the budget. They cant control themselves. The big addict problem this country is not opioids, its to government spending, both parties do it and its immoral. Kennedy we are going to see the and a little bit later.

Kennedy attorney general Jeff Sessions delivering a major unannounced blow to sanctuary cities, he said he will hold back what could be billions of dollars in federal grants. And the money they already received could potentially be clawed back. I strongly urge our nation states and cities and counties to consider carefully the harm they are doing to their citizens by refusing to enforce our immigration laws and to rethink these policies. Kennedy there are roughly 300 sanctuary jurisdictions in the u. S. Will they stand up to the administration or cave under the pressure. Richard, welcome back. So obviously kate steinle was a woman in San Francisco gunned down in cold blood by an illegal immigrant arrested and deported several times. But San Francisco shielded him from i. C. E. Agents. That has given license to immigration people to treat every immigrant in this country as if they are on murderous rampages. I think thats a good leadin. Here is the thing for me. Im not a big fan of sanctuary city. But i think they exist in the world we live in because of the lack of passing comprehensive immigration reform. I dont care if donald trump or barack obama does it. The 1980s have called and they want their immigration back. Kennedy the 1980s usr saw amnesty from two president s in a low. I dont care if they were born here and just visiting, overstayed a visa or under under some wall. If you are hurting people in this country, assaulting and killing them, you dont deserve to be here. The cities instead acting outraged, should be acting on behalf of the rest of their citizens. Hopefully if they are bern here hopefully they will stay here because they are american citizens. But if you are trying to get a green card or a legal stat dozen we have to create those opportunity for you. But if you are an ax murderer or a rapist you should be deported back to your them country. But deporting people who have done stupid crimes. There was a case in miami where a guy didnt pay his parking tickets and hes being deported back to haiti. Kennedy here is a big difference. We cant apply moral equivalents because some crimes are worse than others. If you have bad people doing bad things they should be the first to go so Jeff Sessions doesnt come out on soap boxes. Jeff sessions is a hardliner and Jeff Sessions is no surprise. This is what the president ran on. These governors are digging their heels in for a political fight. Do you think it mayors of the three biggest cities in the one true will stand up or do they give in . I think they will stand up. The president has the white house, the house and the senate. He needs to pass immigration laws that modernize our immigration system. The system is archaic at best. People were still using pagers. We need immigration laws. Can they include deporting the most heinous of criminals . Absolutely. Can it involve a pathway to citizenship . Of course it can. Can it involve Border Security . Sure. Kennedy the gafng 8 bill was toxic for a lot of republicans. But it does come down to modernizing the immigration system. Richard foirl, thank you so much. Democrats russian hacks and meddling in our country are an act of war. My business was built with passion. But i keep it growing by making every dollar count. Thats why i have the spark cash card from capital one. With it, i earn unlimited 2 cash back on all of my purchasing. And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business. Which adds fuel to my bottom line. Whats in your wallet . Hei dont want one thats haded a big wreck just say, show me cars with no accidents reported find the cars you want, avoid the ones you dont plus you get a free carfax® report with every listing i like it start your used car search at carfax. Com kennedy the russians tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, that was an act of war. Thats what representative coleman from new jersey says. But was the russian meddling really an act of war . Very strong words. If so what kind of retaliation might we seek . Let me ask Lieutenant Colonel ralph peters. Russian election meddling, is this an act of war . Thats a very serious charge. The answer is its unclear. It was clearly an act of aggression it was clearly a crime. To might was an act of war because it was an assault on the foundation of our democracy. The free election of a head of state. But our laws are lagging far behind cyber crime, cyber just about anything. Congress isnt doing its job, which is to legislate. The International Community has to design what is and is not war for the 21st century. Kennedy how do we redefine war in the digital age . I think you have to go beyond means and look at effects. Sometimes in real life there arent clear answers. When i was a young person back in the covered wagon days, the big question was who was a better guitar player. But the russians willfully in a prolonged manner tried to change or misshape or deform our president ial election, and we need to respond and we have not. Kennedy there are only a couple of ways to respond. We can respond with some sort of military act, we can use sanctions which we have in the past and you could argue those dont necessarily work, and russia is still going. Or we can try and can friends with them and use diplomacy. Of those three options, whats the best alternative . I pick d, none of the above. I follow Russian Affairs closely. I speak russian. I spent a lot of time working with those guys. And sanctions are biting deep as they coincide with the Falling Energy prices. Pensions have been dropped severely in real value. The widespread demonstrations we saw yesterday were about corruption in russia, and they were very brave. Its one thing to demonstrate in the United States and drink a six pack and raise hell. But to protest the putin government is taking a risk. Kennedy you risk having your rights taken away. Because russia is feeling the economic squeeze, they dont have the kind of resources necessary to screw with us in traditional ways. Thats why they are using nontraditional chaotic means. There is one more thing i would do that would hit putin where it hurts. You have top respond asymmetrically. Supplying weapons to ukraine. You want to keep putin out of the balance particulars . Create more problems for him in ukraine. We have to think more creatively. We dont want a military conflict with russia. In afghanistan the russians are working against us. They are helping the taliban. We need to think along the same lines as them and go through third parties. Tighten sanctions on ukraine. They attack funds amount alts of our system which i know you and i agree the United States is the best deal going and putin needs to pay for messing with us. Kennedy putin is a wiener face. The party panel returns next. Joe biden says he has one big regret. After the show stick around for two new episodes of strange inheritance. The story of a homeless man who safe drivers who switch to esurance could save money on car insurance. You know, the kind of driver who always buckles up. Comes to a complete stop. And looks both ways, no matter what. Because esurance believes thats the kind of driver who deserves to save money on car insurance. In fact, safe drivers who switch from geico to esurance could save hundreds. So if you switch to esurance, saving is a pretty safe bet. Auto and Home Insurance for the modern world. Esurance.

No, they are not about the time he got caught giving creepy back massages in the oval office. I had planned on running for president. Though it would have bean difficult primary, i think i could have run. I didnt run because no man or woman should announce as president of the United States unless they can say i promise you they can give 100 . Kennedy does biden have a point . Julie, you snow joe biden. Let us discuss. Hes a likeable man. There are republicans who are oh he fusive about joe biden and i think he could have tapped into that universal feeling. Julie when joe biden was toying with running for president , if you remember on the outnumbered couch oh so long ago. I said i was always a bind person from day one. I think he could have won. Kennedy tino i hold the minority fin of the people work with. But i believe if joe biden had entered the race, i think he would have found a different combination that didnt quite work for Hillary Clinton. I hate to grant this are you deck thus narcissism to even play with this. People for someone who is so uncomfortable talk about his dead son, it seems to come up in
