Hotter. thats not a good way to do business. >> bianna, i want you to weigh in as well. the president issued that threat saying if the north koreans make any more threats, you know whats going to happen. now the north korean military said they are examining the operational plan to strike around the u.s. territory of guam, which has a significant u.s. military presence there. how do you see it? >> well, it could, in fact, be calling his bluff. it was a bit disconcerting to see the president say t...

>> good to talk to you. thank you so much for being with us. the senior vice president for policy and advocacy at the naacp. all right. some good news for the president today. the senate kbirmd dozens of trump nominees last night, just under the wire before they break for the month of august, including a few familiar faces like texas senator kay bailey hutchison now ambassador to nato. while president trump often complains about congress obstructing this process, we should note he is far behind ...

In 2018. >> melissa: its a great idea to call them on that bluff, to reach across the aisle. you can tell by the number of people who hate president trump and wished for him to fail that yesterday with general kelly, maybe that was a turning point for the administration. those people that cant stand him, at least have respect for general kelly. hes a person to reach out, this is probably the one opportunity, and why not try it? >> dagen: their solutions will be greater government control. thats ...

Then the pentagon announced the military policy was not going to be changed by a tweet. even a presidential tweet. quote, there will be no modifications to the current policy until the presidents direction has been received by the secretary of defense and so far the white house has not practiced what it tweeted. we can tell you, the pentagon reporter noting the guidance has not yet materialized and the approach to calling the presidents bluff may be spreading. consider this other announcement fr...

That bill that they had insiste insisted, you either have benefits, you cant have benefits without paying for it. you cant. if you are going to give people benefits, they have to pay for it. if you take it away, you dont have to pay as much. >> harris: what youve talked about is not just us putting the blame, but the responsibility. the president calls schumers bluff. >> kennedy: which schumer will pick up the phone? at one moment he saying were not obstructing, and at the nex next -- >> abby: >...

That was a complete insburd nation of firing james comey. you have the escape route of the president saying i within trying to obstruct justice i was simply trying to -- the head of the united states is not someone -- now you got jeff sessions entering the arena. you have a clear interview with the "new york times" on audio tape confirming that he is dismayed to say the least that he will not drop this russian investigation and not overseeing it in a way that could effect change. now you got tha...

At this point. when you look at this, it literally is like zombies. just when you think you killed it, they pop up again alive and kicking so i think theres a lot of activity thats going to happen over the course of this week and perhaps beyond. but i think the irony here is that for seven years, republicans did repeal after repeal after repeal under the cover of a president who they knew would veto the bill. and then the american public called their bluff, gave them donald trump and a unified r...

Parliamentary moves it requires. were getting nothing done, my friends. were getting nothing done. >> i guess, senator, call the democrats bluff. as you know many democrats have said if you get out of this reconciliation process and say, look, at this point its clear the best you guys can agree to is more of a reform of obamacare, not a full repeal and replace, which is where the democrats are, why not pull reconciliation and take john mccains advice? >> because at this point we dont think that ...

Amendment processes and not having ensured that all of your members are protected, not having a very clear end game set to go, but frankly, up to this point, that simply hasnt been possible. still waiting on senator mccain to show up. still waiting on senator ron johnson. if they get those two, they will have the 50 votes needed. mike pence whos currently in the chair right now would cast the tie-breaking vote and move forward but m.j. did a great job of laying out the uncertainty of what happen...

The repeal appeared if we did that, that would force everyone to come to the table. this is not a time for inaction. we should stand by the promises we made and this is not a time to be weak kneed. tree into some would say if you have a repeal, many americans would be without a safety net. >> you know, people again thought would be against it. you could do it in a way that gets plenty of time so it doesnt disrupt anything. the last and the democrats are likely one of the part of this be part of ...
