Set of circumstances. health care is intensely personal for people, and i think hes in real trouble on this. >> and the question, carl, you would know better than any of us. is there a real danger of these guys being primaried? if they really go down the path mcconnell suggesting, a year and a half before midterms. can you see a lot of hard-core republicans -- >> part of the real problem with that, too, is the new call is, well, lets just repeal the bill and well go back late lar. cant do that w...

Deregulate health care and fix the health care system. our president, president trump can do that, but he needs to get his team in place. >> kat: i agree. i would like to see something that involves the cloud, more patient spoke as lent insurance company focused or government focus. what do you think should be done? >> my opinion is they have to send it back first. when you are trying to rush things through, particularly in summer when everyone takes vacations, its not going to work. i think we ...

Room that, yes, president trump opened the meeting talking about this issue, that he pressed vladimir putin on this subject on a number of occasions. that they had a lengthy exchange on this but that vladimir putin, as he has so many times, denied that russia was interfering in last years election, and in the words of rex tillerson, he said its not likely the u.s. and russia will come to an agreement on this issue. so "the question is, what do we do now?" so sounds, jim, that they did not resolv...

Do you? and what do you think the result of those negotiations would likely be? >> well, we have three options. number one, the status quo. and that is not working. theres just been an ever-increasing capacity in the ballistic missile and nuclear weapons program of north korea. so the existing situation doesnt work. number two, and i would take president trump is talking about this, and that would be increased military activity which could lead to a war, which could lead to catastrophic conseque...

Learning on the job? i mean, north korea seems to be all fired up and ready to go. are you reassured that the president is studying up? i mean, are you comforted? >> im not reassured by north korean behavior for sure. but when i look at what theyve done which is to first send tillerson, mattis and pence to the region to shore up alliances and died if 86% of north koreas trade is with china, we have to first try with china to put pressure on the regime. >> how is that going in the president tweet...

Fad deployment that were there from the 1960s all the way to 1991. if that doesnt work, we have enough conventional ordinance to turn north korea into an overdone pop tart. >> jeanine: you heard with the colonel was saying. but look, it appears that -- china has already got to know that we are interested and a regime change. we clearly would be interested if north korea has his nuclear weapon to give it to japan to make sure they got it. but, isnt there a risk in any military option to the peopl...

And has had learned a lot. i mean hes become quite expert on the issue. and. >> do we have time for someone learning on the job? i mean, north korea seems to be all fired up and ready to go. are you reassured that the president is studying up? i mean, are you comforted? >> im not reassured by north korean behavior for sure. but when i look at what theyve done which is to first send tillerson, mattis and pence to the region to shore up alliances and died if 86% of north koreas trade is with china...

Dont like and he doesnt flip. but the reality comes. math, this sort of unpleasant reality of having to pay bills that you cant pay. youve got to do something. different strokes for different folks, different, you know, ways to get out of that for different folks. im not comparing for example venezuela with what is happening in illinois. except that they are joined at the math hip here. the math doesnt work. >> reporter: there is that. there is also i think the fact that there is world wild skep...

China and north korea is up 40%. is he acknowledging his own failures. >> right. when that doesnt work, you directly sanction china which they started to do last week with the treasury department sanctioning a bang of dangdong. this is a strategy almost any administration would follow being faced with the challenges of a north korean reem on the threshold of icbm technology that could be operational. so you know, in the end, my point is that the problem is north korea. the problem is not that u....
