that. i think it s a question of what else, though, is in voter s minds, and if it s a pocketbook issue as health care so often is, sure, it really can be. jeremy peters, thank you very much. still ahead president trump has said he won t fire jeff sessions before the mid-terms. but that doesn t mean he isn t actively looking for his next attorney general. we re taking a look at who is on the president s reported short list next on morning joe .
republicans between them, you know, that might help. i believe that the president wouldn t know that that message would be sent. and you re still supportive of the speaker? not only am i still supportive of the speaker, many members of the freedom caucus just voted for him a couple of months ago, and, you know, in order to become the speaker of the house, you have to get the votes on the floor and what we just saw it was almost a unanimous vote a couple months ago. reporter: can i just skfrmt you we. you were in the house for many years. i was. do you think the speaker can stay in his job and move forward? i go back to paul ryan is still learning, and, you know, he tried something different. he tried to do a strategy that had not been tried in my opinion successfully before, and he failed at it but that doesn t mean he isn t going to learn from that, and, you know, it s it s always better in the house to start with your base, and that s just the bottom line, and i know
successfully before. and he failed at it. but that doesn t mean he isn t going to learn from that. and, you know, it s always better in the house to start with your base. that s just the bottom line. and i know did he learn that lesson? i hope he learned that lesson. you start with your strength and build from there. hold that thought. hold that thought. we have to pay your bills, bakari. after the break, republicans and democrats get into a public battle about undisclosed intelligence. can congress be trusted to conduct a nonpartisan investigation? that s next.
nobody really knows. so people jumped on him after he said the open-minded thing. but then he turned around and invited al gore and leo decaprio into trump tower to talk to him and everything and then picked rick perry. that doesn t mean he isn t pt pruitt. bill gates has people pulling their hair out that he said. this. in the same way that president kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that, i think that whether it s education or stopping epidemics, there can be a very upbeat message that his administration is going to organize things, get rid of regular go tore barriers and have american leadership through innovation. reference jfk there. he has a big fund on this. he is starting big, big investments into energy innovation. that is it for the panel.
