an outside group to potentially go after his critics. absolutely. i think we re out of time. i wish we had more time. thank you guys. coming up in our next hour, trumpcare is on the ropes. we ll tell you about trump s new lawyer and the pending battle at the dnc. more a.m. joy after the break.
give anything because he s already given him an election. let me tell you something you know donald trump watches this program. we all know that now. so i m going to say something directly to donald trump. do not cross, you know, the good faith of the people of the united states. if you propose to raise sanctions and you come out of there like you two guys are best friends, we know when a gambling addict meets his bookie that he s going to be very cordial to him. so i expect there won t be any elbowing people out of the way to get in front of the camera, but there may be to get right next to vladimir putin and start looking like his bff. yeah. and you re fond of saying in order to understand russia you have to try to think like russia, think the way they think, not the way we think about it. what would russia possibly want out of this meeting other than to essentially have the sanctions undone? which it looks like trump wants to do. they re loving this. i mean, this is the u.s.
i think the markets would respond the way we expect a free market to respond. we know that free markets bring competition between firms when they re competing for your business, they re going to offer a better product at a lower price. part of the reasons premiums have gone up so high is because of obamacare. i expect premiums to get a lot cheaper if obamacare were to be repealed. i think what we re seeing from the president with that tweet, with his statement that if repeal and replace doesn t happen, he s still committed to keeping his campaign promise. president trump is absolutely committed to keeping that promise and all of his campaign promises. but, no, i don t think that we should expect the insurance markets to collapse. really? if republicans do what they say they re going to do. if it was a robust market to insure the people who were added to the insurance roles under the medicaid expansion, these are basically the working poor, if there was such a robust market to off
something. is there any way of knowing if he already has something or it is just the knowledge that trump is susceptible to his wiles? i think it s that, but certainly does trump believe putin has anything on him? he may not even have it. that fear may be enough to sort of, look, you look for control, you look for leverage. and just the fear that trump may have that not knowing what the russians may have may be enough. look, if you believe flynn was recruited by the russians, i happen to feel there s a strong possibility of that, one could say that the russians were able to turn him by just putting at a table sitting next to vladimir putin. my goodness, if you let vladimir putin speak to trump, what kpegss, what control could he exert? what we can say about vladimir putin is he s a master at manipulation. absolutely. i want to shift quick di lsh no, go ahead, malcolm. one quick comment. you know, the state department was tasked to give up a list of deliverables. deliverables are
then he will pick up the phone and basically spike the story. screw it, let him run it. go ahead and run it. we re not coddling. they ended up running something my colleagues at morning joe told a harrowing story about the president on friday, part of their response to trump s rude tweets about them earlier, a day earlier. well, trump took to twitter again after that, of course, to say this. watched low rating morning joe for the first time in a long him. fame news. he called me to stop national enquire irarticle, i said no. the enquirer promoted that article on friday, the tabloid replaced it with this statement at no time did we threaten either mow or mika or their children in connection with our reporting on the story. we have no knowledge of any discussions between the white house and joe and mika about our
