This home that burns more electricity in one year than an average american burns in their home in 21 years, but he also has two other homes on top of it. heres a guy that has basically exploited concerns about the environment to make $300 million and win the nobel prize. it makes you wonder what his religion is. >> i remember in the 80s, we were all upset when a series of televangelists got into sex scandals. they were in the pulpit telling you not to do x, y, nz, and they were doing it. they we...

Lets begin our media panel. thanks both of you for being here. kind of curious. anthony scaramucci, the new yorker has not been kind to president trump. for anthony scaramucci to call up someone who writes for the new yorker, that was a strange call, wasnt it? >> not so much because dont forget, scaramucci is from new york and the new yorker is in new york, so im sure he believes that because he was from new york and this is a new york magazine, it was okay to call. he doesnt understand the cult...

Themselves. are you saying the president has made decisions about these things? is this being floated as a trial balloon? do you have any idea where they are in the decision making process? >> sure. the way it was explained to us is certainly the president has made no decisions. its more that the president is an affidavit consumer of news and hes reading about both the expanding russia probe and also about a presidents pardoning authority and as part of that hes become curious in understanding w...

The way it was explained to us is certainly the president has made no decisions. its more that the president is an avid consumer of news, he reads all these articles, he watches television and hes reading about both the expanding russia probe and also about a presidents pardoning authority and as part of that hes become curious in understanding well, you know, what is actually the reach of my authority as president? what could i do? how would it work? how would this go? it was him doing his dili...

Just saw, what would you do? how can we avoid a repeat of that crisis? there were smiles and a little levity around it. in the end, deadly serious stuff. of course, the nominee gave exactly the right answer which is to say, if this happens again, number one, im not swearing any loyalty oaths. number two, if you see foreign interference reported to us, this will become part of what the fbi does. that doesnt mean were out of the woods on the current crisis, but it does suggest we wont have a repea...

The meeting, that this person had information on the opponent. >> right, but as far as i understand, he said that neither manafort for kushner knew the agenda. and thats really important whether they did or didnt, because if they did, then they could be co-conspirators with him. that important to know. even sort of curious to me is if he is taking the fall, why would the son of the president take the fall for his brother-in-law? this is a very complicated not only legal but also family drama her...

For a lot of people, particularly as jess pointed out, for republican senators. terrible for rural hospitals. terrible for a lot of lower income people in rural areas. these are republican constituents. once they stop passing a slogan and pass a real bill, its very hard for them to justify what theyre doing. >> the thing i find most curious is why, is senator ted cruz the person to invest your hopes, to get repeal, replace obamacare, to institute trump care? he is the least liked person on capit...

Watched meeting of any at the g20. one of the few the president has spoken to recently who he hasnt actually met. we will come back to that in a second. but the phone calls the president made over the last few days we know he spoke to leaders of china and japan yesterday focussing mainly on the threat from north korea. three european leaders he spoke with this morning, no official read out from the white house on those conversations. of the three i would be most curious to know, what is discusse...

Did up until the age 30. stuff you d to do on instinct and not on intelligence. >> anthony: see, i think you deserve it. but when i look at my own life, you know, im actually -- im ambivalent. i mean, im still not so sure. you know? >> iggy: im still curious. you seem like a curious person. >> anthony: its my only virtue. >> iggy: there you go. all right. curious is a good thing to be. it seems to pay some unexpected dividends. ♪ i am a passenger and i ride and ride ♪ ♪ i ride through the ...

Age like the house bill or income like obamacare? the answer is that it bases those private insurance subsidies on income. income and geography. but it would also provide money to fewer people than obamacare as you heard kasie talk about. the other highlight from benji, what we have been talking about, more gradual phase-out of medicaid expansion but deep cuts to the program itself. this is setting up a serious showdown on capitol hill. democrats obviously not happy as you heard nancy pelosi tal...
