President is making this full throated pitch to get graham cassidy over the finish line, then behind the scenes the white house has a lot of doubts. sometime described it as the last best hope where after you have to get 60 votes instead of 50. i don t think the white house sees this as ideal legislation. in fact, i think there are many questions of how it would work. what governors would say our state loses money. we don t know how many people are going to be uninsured with this or have not been any studies on it. it s far from a done deal. and something the white house who i spoke to say we re concerned what would happen if this did pass. we don t know what would happen. and this is still going to be a ferve enlt push for the next week i think. okay. guys, good to talk you to both. kate and josh, thank you so much. thank you. coming our way in the next hour, i ll talk to the former nfl wide receiver. i ll get his take on all of the developments. first, a scare in mexico today
And are they going to show up? do you want the pictures with the president? it certainly a new definitional thing that we ve not seen in the past. and now all of this is politicized f you go with president trump, you re in the headlines for the day. you re wall to wall on television. and you have to make that decision. it wasn t that way with previous presidents. kate, we should point out here that tom brady did not attend the patriots white house ceremony this past spring. how come the president didn t go after him? tom brady and donald trump have had interesting relationship during the campaign. i think i look at this as all that, you know, like josh is saying. he is trying to put everyone in his corner right now. and trying to just bring politicize everything. i like really like how you worded that there. yes, where on a saturday morning talking about whether trump supports the nfl and the nba. that shouldn t be what we re talking about right now. yeah. all right. then we re
Friends lindsey gram, he could not support it at this time. the president notably did not go after mccain in the harshest way that we ve seen in the past. he certainly did talk about him. he also sent out a lot of tweets today aimed at other senators. alex. kelly o donnell, thank you very much. we appreciate. that i m joined now by national politics reporter for the hill kate martel. we re hoping to get josh dossy from poe politico to join us as well. we have a lot to talk about with you. first of all, what lead to the president disinviting steph curry? i mean let s take a look at curry. he was at a media event yesterday explaining why he didn t want to visit the white house. here it is. by acting or in not going hopefully that will inspire some change when it comes to what we tolerate in this country. what do you think is going on? what do you think the president hopes to accomplish by going after the nba and previous lit nfl like this? you know, alex, i think what
To kate s point, #takeaknee is the top trend on twitter now. i want to go first with the one from lebron jam. it happened the last hour. you bum ask stephen curry set said he ain t going to white house. waits a great honor until you showed up. and then espn s jemele hill, hey stephen curry, welcome to the club, bro. then you have the president s white house photographer this is president obama s photographer sending this out on instagram tlachlt is showing president obama getting a lesson i guess on the jump shot or something from steph curry. there but the optics of all of this, i mean, how are you reading him for the white house? does it look nothing but bad? it puts people in the corner. one thing this president is good is sparking cultural wars and headlines that get everyone can ginned up and talking about him and what he is doing. the people that hate him, they hate him more.
Information, so much material. by tweeting every morning about this, just like kate said, if he just stopped responding to every single little thing that came forward, then the media wouldn t cover everything that he says. he is the presidential canned day. anything he does or says will be news. what is notable about the issues is trump s campaign manager herself joked on twitter last night that she was a person in the crowd at one of the rallies yelling at donald trump to stay on the issues. what does that say about a campaign when the campaign manager is joking about tweeting that she wants her own candidate to stay on the issues? he also boasted about not being on prompter. he took it off and he said he enjoys not being on prompter. kate, let me ask you about this batch of e-mail this is round. anything damage come out of that round of e-mails that hadas was just referring to? the problem with these wikileaks e-mails is that they re inside baseball right now. there haven t been
