Put him in office. 6 Million People benefit from the cost sharing subsidies and those subsidies are used to hem low income americans pay for out of pocket costs. 70 of them live in states trump won in november. Meanwhile as the president solicits congressional support for health care, he was seen golfing with senator Lindsey Graham. The pair went golfing yesterday for the second time in about a week. Joining me now, jonathan allen, a National Political reporter for nbc news digital. Jonathan, i want to start with you. Your recent article trumps estrangement from the gop one republican at a time. How do you interpret President Trump and Lindsey Graham playing golf for the second time in recent days after the president has gone to verbal war with grahams esteemed colleague bob corker. Its really interesting. President trumps tactics lead him to excoriate republican senators whether its Mitch Mcconnell or bob corker of tennessee, jeff flake of arizona. In this case Lindsey Graham who hes fought with many times before is now playing golf with him. President trump is looking for people willing to make deals on important pieces of legislation, on important topics of concern for the administration. People who also give him cover and legitimacy on things and i think hes looking at senator Lindsey Graham as someone who can help him in the senate. Hes happy that graham was trying to be helpful with john mccain during the health care debate. One thing thats true of senator graham is he wants to be close to the president of the united states. He advised barack obama several times and now with trump in office would like to be close to that power too. Sean, whats President Trumps angle on golfing with senator graham. Im trying to get an ally in the senate. And how critical is that in. Its critical because he he doesnt have a lot of close allies. It looks like he has more enemies and enemies in the making even within his own party. The first few months of the Trump Administration and the new republican government in congress. The relationship between the white house and the republicans in congress has gonl gotten worse. Weve seen the fight between the president and senator bob corker. Weve seen the relationship between Mitch Mcconnell and President Trump become very very toxic. And you see a lot of rank and file republicans increasingly nervous and uneasy with some of the president s actions. So if the president is going to have any hope of passing any big sweeping legislative achievement that the Republican Party can run on in the midterm elections next year, hes going to have to start repairing these relationships. Were seeing that and hes trying to, you know, mix business and pleasure and have these social outings with some of these lawmakers. Lindsey graham, twice a week hes playing golf with him. Thats somebody with deep serious ideological policy differences with the president and he hat been shy about expressing those shoes both as a candidate against trump and as a senator in the last few months. Your most recent article senator ted cruz said the gop could face watergate blowout if tax reform are not accomplished. What does that mean . Youre seeing republican donors, strategists and lawmakers increasingly raise alarm bells about what might happen next year and theyre saying look, we might lose the house, we might lose the senate. We might see a historic wave election against this. I was at a donor meeting in new york where senator cruz made the remar remarks. The donors are nervous too saying look, if we dont get tax reform down, the base is going to be depressed. They might not show up at the polls and we might not write checks for incumbents. Theres a lot of concern in the republican par that if they dont have a sweeping achievement to run on they could be looking at a really brutal election next year. Jonathan, on to the president s rolling back of obamacare subsidies, nearly 70 of those benefits from the cost sharing subsidies live in states that trump won last november. Is that reality going to sink in for the Trump Supporters and if so, when . I think it will for people who find theyre not getting the cost share subsidiesubsidies. It will be interesting to see as you drill down further who within those states is being effects and to the extent they actually were trump voters rather than just living in states that trump won. There are a lot of trump voters who are affected by this. I think the idea that youre going to jack up premiums under your own voters is a tough political pill to swallow. Its part of the sort of the untold story of obamacare, which is that president obamas party decided to provide benefit to a lot of people who werent actually their voters with oba a obamacare so undoing that is very difficult for President Trump and republicans in congress who are trying to do the same thing. Very difficult for them to do without paying a political price. In todays Washington Post the headline timing of white house actions, unrolling pca couldnt be worse. Why . Why is that . Were looking at a time when these insurers are nervous about the year ahead. Theyre looking at try to set their rates in for the next year. And now youve got a whole different situation where premiums are expected to go up, a lot of analysts predict as a result of trumps actions and now were not sure whether certain counties and parts of the country will have coverage under these marketplaces as a result of this action. We could see ultimately down the road fewer people having Insurance Coverage as a result of this. And i think this is something that makes republicans on capitol hill nervous because now the Republican Party sort of owns this in a way that they havent before because they blame problems on health care, on obamacare and on the democrats who voted for that bill and on president obama himself. It will be interesting to see in the coming months how the republican lawmakers deal with this. Do they come up with an alternative fix on capitol hill to make the subsidies permanent or provide subsidy coverage in the future. But a lot of republicans see this as a political headache in addition to the policy problems they anticipate. If we take a step back and look at the administration moves this past week, its all about undoing the obama legacy on the eca, the epa and iran. Might this have the opposite effect . Might it bolster the former president s legacy . Its certainly possible. Its hard to predict exactly how history will view this moment. I think one thing that is a lesson from the Obama Administration that were learning from the Trump Administration right now is that if you do a lot of things by executive order, whether thats protecting children who were brought here illegally, the d. R. E. A. M. Ers , do that by executive order, whether it was the Iran Nuclear Deal essentially done by the executive without congress, some of the things of the aca done, implemented by health and Human Services secretary rather than by the statute itself which allowed hhs to shape the bill. What you see is that if an executive does something that makes the executive come along and try to strip that away easily, laws are much more permanent. Sean sullivan, jonathan allen, more from both of you in just a few minutes. Two women from the uk are now accusing film mogul Harvey Weinstein of rape. She told Scotland Yard that weinstein attacked her at her home. And sara smith claims she was assaulted by weinstein at the miramax offices in west london in 1992. A spokesman is quoted saying mr.

Five years ago, on any given night, almost 75,000 veterans experienced homelessness. We have reduced those numbers by almost half, but despite the great progress that we have achieved, there are still too many veterans who still need a place to live. This project is a comprehensive rehabilitation of the centers facility here in Downtown Boston to create permanent supportive housing, transitional housing and service spaces, a facility that really delivers on societys commitment to people who have served in the military. Citi® was the Financial Partner because they were able to come with the resources, both the Capital Resources and also the human resources, the experts in their fields, and without citis partnership we probably would not be here where we are right now. The goal for us at this project is to be more effective in the services that we provide so that veterans who have committed to put their lives at risk to protect this country have a home in this country. The current language of the administration, the lack of a diplomatic and serious engagement strategy in my view has it sliding toward war by next summer. Required army general Barry Mccaffrey there not mixing words when it comes to President Trumps rhetoric about north korea. Joining me now is colonel jack jaco jacobs. Let me ask you about what we just heard. Do you agree . Are we sliding into world war i iii by next summer in. The war didnt end. We have a cease fire but no arm cyst. And weve lost soldiers since then and the South Koreans have as well. Theres been shootings there and incidents in the past. But what general mccaffrcafee i saying that its driving the possibility of an actual increase in the situation outside of our control. And part of that is going to be as a result of not being able to convince our allies in the region, particularly south korea, that were serious about defending them, that were serious about doing things to reduce tensions and so on. And thats going to make it much more likely that there will be a very bad incident between north and south korea and perhaps our own troops in south korea in the near future. Its entirely possible. There there real back Channel Communications going on with north korea as secretary of state tillerson suggested or has President Trump put a stop to that . We do have back Channel Communications. Theyve been going on and off for some time. Sometimes they bare mediate fruit but sometimes they amount to nothing. One thing that donald trump said that is correct is that no matter how much you deal with north korea, no matter how much you talk with them behind closed doors, nothing is going to come of it because north korea wants to produce and keep Nuclear Weapons and youre not going to be able to change that. On friday President Trump announced that hes decertifying the multinational nuclear pack with iran so that americans can obtain better deal but he stopped short of entirely pulling out of the deal. And apparently advisers told him its in the u. S. National security interest to keep the deal in place . Well, we could have gotten a better deal, i suppose, had we worked harder at it. Theres no doubt that we really wanted a deal and as a result we gotd this de got this deal. If you want something bad, thats how youre going to get it. The train has left the station. Its going to be extremely difficult to change that now. Our decertifying the deal, decertifying iran is merely going to have everybody else ignore us and theres in way were going to be able to control iran without everybody else being on our side and they are not. So decertifying the deal is going nowhere fast. You said it would be difficult to change but is it possible to at this stage renegotiate any part of that deal . Unlikely without everybody elses concurrence. Dont forget that our own allies supported this deal in the first place. We cant be alone, everybody else is going to have to support it too. And our allies are not going to support our getting out of the deal. Thats not going to happen i dont think. Colonel jack jacobs, thanks for joining me.
