Both parties need to Work Together. Plus the russia connection. Democrats threaten to pull out of the investigation if it becomes too partisan. And when we hear statements like this 17 would be a disaster for obamacare. Thats the year it was meant to explode because obama wont be here. Are we becoming conditioned to dismiss what the president of the United States says . Joining me for insight and analysis are david brooks, columnist for the New York Times. Stephanie cutter, former Campaign Manager for president obama, Rick Santelli and helene cooper, pentagon correspondent for the New York Times. Welcome to sunday, its meet the press. From nbc news in washington. The longest running show in Television History celebrating its 70th year, this is meet the press with chuck todd.

Is right now. This is the closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing obamacare. Republicans racing the political clock to push through a Health Care Replacement bill have a message. Republicans unified. We are unified. We are really excited about the unified vote. But the fight over health care is exposing divisions within the Republican Party. Between small government conservatives, swing state moderates and a president who ran as a populist and is governing as a nationalist. This week, two key house committees approved a plan to overhaul the Affordable Care act, but not before conservatives rushed out to pan the bill both in the house this is just obamacare with a different label. It appears to be the largest Welfare Program ever proposed by republicans in the history of our country. And in the senate. The bill as written is not going to pass the senate.

Congressman, i will say this i would like to see this Congress Pass a bill. I would like to work with congress on passing a bill. The president said that would be his preference. The problem is we have no partner i think congress can pass a bill when the American People start regaining trust in the administration to actually do their job and enforce the laws that are already on the books.

I have a great deal of respect for you but i have some fundamental disagreements with a couple of the points that were made.

First, broad markets, weve not had a run look weve had this month in a long time. Whether youre larry fink or others, people asking serious questions about when in ends and how it ends. You keep thinking it should end and then General Motors comes out with a quarter that says, hey, listen, were back, too. You keep thinking it will end and then i sit back and listen to some of these Conference Calls and various industries. Buffalo wild wings.
