State lines like any other product. interesting to see just about every democrat sat down and did not support the idea of letting people buy their insurance across state lines. they want the government to tell you what you can and cant buy for your family. i think americans are feed up with that. its a failed experiment that led to higher cost and fewer options. well have a plan starting to move through committees next week. you can see it on c span. today weve been working through for the last ...

He recognizes times changed, its their role now to do as they see fit, theyre the president. he accepts, just as a given that because he did something one way does not mean his successors must do it that way, i think thats how he -- why he is so differential. thats why he respects their right to govern as they see fit now and hes not going to criticize. >> the fact of the matter is, the bushes are on far better terms i assume it seems with president obama than they are with president trump. the ...

Abby: just a reminder president trump does things differently this is another slap in the face to the media. im not going to do it your way. pete: personally i think its a fantastic move. he has skipped things before when he thinks he is going to be treated unfairly. there is a point humor is humor and george w. bush and obama did it. the press is so hysterical about him. their humor is going to be probably not funny and do it right at him. why does he need that? and so i think its a good move. ...
