the chancellor will do her very best to bridge our differences, to build consensus, to act as a mediator here. and i m hopeful that this will be a very good outcome happening in hamburg. chancellor merkel according to the associated press told a german newspaper, and i m quoting here, while we seek chances to cooperate for everyone s benefit, globalization is seen in the american administration as a process which isn t about win-win situations but about winners and losers. strong words and not the first time that the chancellor has been critical of the president. now there s a poll done by pew just 11% of germans had at least some confidence in president trump. when you look at her words, when you look at those numbers, what are the concerns of your government and the german people that so few trust president trump? well, indeed on trade, our philosophy is that free, open,
than ever that republicans begin to come together. build consensus, they need to show you the american people they are ready to lead and fix america s broken health care system because obamacare is in a death spiral it s a disaster. democrats are going to go deep down in the gutter, they will employ every insane, irrational scare tactic to misrepresent what is actually in the bill. for example, this is a riot, take a look at some of the insanity and the things that democrats said to the lead up in today s house vote. this will cost american lives if it ever becomes law. death, pain and suffering to people families. really is stupid to. it is a bill a deconstruction of government. from the beginning, trump care was a moral monstrosity that will devastate children and hard-working americans. this crushing age tax will fall on some of the most vulnerable members of our society. it tens of millions of
listen closely. president trump is keeping his promises doing the things he said he would do with a lot of success. now it s time to hold washington accountable. now, democrats have shown they are going to obstruct the president s agenda at every single turn. guess what? it s time for you republicans, especially you republican leaders quit the bickering and in fighting and obstructions, come together, build consensus on these major trump agenda items, which, by the way, are supposed to be your agenda items. now, i know the head of the freedom caucus, congressman mark meadows, well, i talked to him at least 100 times in the last few weeks, he has told me there is now today a coalition on the healthcare bill. and also a freedom caucus member dave bureaucrat, key leader in the caucus, is he stating publicly that the freedom caucus is saying yes to many of the new proposals in the negotiations, in other words, repealing and
the so-called nuclear option, which means you don t need 60 votes anymore. you just need a bare majority. what is your take on that? harry reid in 2013 pulled the nuclear option after doing everything he had done to get cooperation because we were not getting on any bills. nobody was getting approved. the replacements and basically a putting a staff together, whether it s president obama, president trump, whoever should have an opportunity to do that. nothing was getting done. so harry pulls the nuclear option. we basically all i was totally opposed. i m the only democrat that opposed that and voted against it. i thought it was wrong. the 60 vote rule gives the minority so, the democrats have been the minority right now. it gives them input and creates an atmosphere where you have to cooperate and build consensus. you have to sit down and work.
sean: do you agree with my analysis that there is another way to do this. i can t stand the sausage making analogy anymore that everyone brings up. but therene is a way to build consensus. there is a way to get toui agreement before you roll it out and nobody having seen it. everybody attacking it publicly. i mean, than the president has to do the heavy living and i just think that this is a learning a experience because we ve got a lot to work to do to stop america s precipitous decline. i don t care the democrats are giddy that they think this is good. meanwhile, the american people suffer under obamacare. they better learn from this. well, i partially agree with you because they roll this out three weeks ago. it was 123 pages, sean. how long does it take them to read 123 pages? or the ways and means committee summary, which i read every word tn detail! i don t accept that they try to
