universal care and once you have that, that s the reason why the quinnipiac poll had the reform, the ryan reform had 17%. that s pathetic. that s lower than anything ever in obamacare. what we re going to get is in time. democrats are going to go to single payer and republicans are going to try to get a stripping away of government control and i thin its time is slipping away. the zik in the country has changed. brett: kristin, is repeal officially dead? are we dealing with fixing obamacare or does the republican congress and this administration have another bite at this apple at some point down the line? there s another other stuff on congress agenda that they want to get to that i think makes it very challenging for them to have the band width to go back and start on this issue. president trump says he loves making deals. he loves winning. he said or tweeted out or said that he would be
of winners and a lot of losers and a lot of lobbying that they ought not venture into this. they have got to do their stuff before not like the perils of pauline at the last minute like they did on healthcare. brett: remember, have you 11 senate democrats up for re-election in states where donald trump won 82% or more of the counties in those states. so, going in to it, you would think that those states, particularly, are vulnerable for maybe some leverage on big things. it didn t happen on obamacare. weren t going to move democrats over on that repeal and replace. could it happen on tax reform? the problem is, and i agree with guy and charles to a degree on this which is you still have infighting with tax reform. if you reduce the corporate tax rate to 15%, what happens to the budget deficit? rand paul is not in lock step with paul ryan on this. and then some people say well, how progressive is it to go back to something that in a sense reagan originally proposed back in the day
interested in working with democrats. he would love something that brings them to the table. of course, if you do that are you going to be losing the conservatives, the very conservatives that already weren t with this bill? this is where you get this friction within the republican party where for president trump he loves winning and deal-making and loves it far more than i think limited government conservatism which is what animates a big piece of congress. brett: quickly. when it comes down to fixing obamacare, as charles says, not a single thing that chuck schumer said is a compromise at all to conservatives. and the right will lose its mind if the republicans pivot to fix and repair when they have been promised repeal and replace. this is a politically untenable situation. bret brett okay. with that bright moment, we will move on. the panel will be back a little bit later. up next, troubling intelligence as top house intel members go public in the ongoing fight over reports of
read. reporter: nunes not wiretapped by his predecessor. brett: has the ranking democrat on the committee seen the same info, same intelligence that nunes has? reporter: as of now, no. but congressman adam schiff has been briefed on the contents. he said today that he doesn t know if the pending nsa documents are assault and battery set of what mr. nunes has seen. schiff insinuated that nunes got that material directly or indirectly from president trump. in an effort to further justify the unjustifiable, he is now interfering in this investigation, and i think the fact that the chairman s press conference was at the white house is not only symbolically important. it s important in terms of understanding what s really going on here. reporter: sources say, as catherine was just mentioning, bret, it will take several days to evaluate the new nsa material when it comes in. brett: we should point out nunes hasn t said where he got the documents from. reporter: he has denied it
