the only difference between now and the other administration that we re administering obamacare very well. so we ve made it better but it is still horrible, no good. it is something that we can t live with in this country, because it is far too expensive for the people. not only for the country but, i m not even thinking about for the country. it is too expensive. the premiums are too expensive. people are going broke trying to pay for it. and the deductibles are averaging over $7,000. so you have to spend 7,000 before you get anything. that is very unusual. deductibles are way too high. obamacare is a disaster. we re going to be, and i said it yesterday, i mean it 100%. i understand health care now, especially now very well. a lot of people don t understand it. we are going to be the, the republicans, the party of great health care. the democrats, they have let you down. they came up with a obamacare. it is terrible. i got rid of the individual mandate. that was the worst pa
holiday shopping. meanwhile, close attention to what s going on at the white house right now. guess who s back to pay a visit in brett kavanaugh is there today, we do not know with whom he s meeting or had a chance to say hello to the president. we know the big committee meeting is slated for monday. we are told that christine ford, the accuser is going to be there and will testify, and that brett kavanaugh will have a chance to respond after her testimony. where this goes is anyone s guess, democrats are immroerg the fbi to look into this to run out the clock. that is the cynical political view of this, regardless it has thrown the nomination up for grabs. it could provide cover for some of the democratic senators and states where donald trump won big, and they re up for re-election. it could provide cover not to go ahead and vote for the nominee. it s a mess. that s probably putting it mildly. blake burman at the white house with the very, very latest. reporter: there was s
time. so in that statement that they will meet with ryan and mcconnell instead, that makes them, sounds like they put a lot more faith into mcconnell and ryan than they have in the past at least with that statement. neil: you think about it, wasn t that longing a they cobbled together this separate deal to keep the government lights on for another few weeks. right. neil: being north of four weeks. so at the time, it was sort of like seen as a bipartisan olive branch on both sides, now gone. that s right. the point here is, that they see the president as so erratic. they walked out of that meeting months ago you are talking about with a spring in their steps, thinking they could work with the president instead republican leadership. neil: i remember you, erin, having doubts about it. to your credit, you said, let s not over, you know, analyze this, say it is a sign of kumbayah. you didn t use the words kumbayah, that all of a sudden all bets were off. so everyone is it sor
six key gop senators. it is interesting a mall gum. the latest hurdle seems to be a spending bill, budget bill. not that the government lights go out but there is concern about how long do you keep it going latest talk is a two-week measure? do you believe that? a two-week measure. to get us over christmas. i kid you not. we have a a chief congressional correspondent. this will be bigger issue than the tax cut thing, by and large been resolved. we have arguing back and forth today, but what do you make of this? first of all i don t think the tax deal is settled either. today the republican leadership handed out three pages of differences that the house lawmakers have to look at and consider when they go into negotiations with the senate. a lot of them are small differences but those are 30 or so differences they need to work through. as for the spending bill, you re right, that will really take the oxygen out of the room for the next couple weeks. right now they re talking
live for. we have chad pergram with the latest on capitol hill. how are you? neil: very good. the house has started final debate on the tweaked version of the senate bill. they had to pull things out to match budgetary rules in the senate before we passed it in the wee hours of the morning. the house had to be in alignment. when they made the changes the house bill and senate bill did not sync up. we will have in 20 minutes, what will be the final, final vote for the tax bill. then it will be shipped to the white house. the question is when president trump will sign it. neil: i was asking you the question, when? i always think these things can be like closing on your house that you buy, if you don t wrap up quickly something could very, very, very wrong. i spoke to senators yesterday, chad, if we had our druthers we would sign this fast. here is the problem there. is a rule on the hill called capitol hill that is budgetary, paygo, pay as you go. that is important term.
