Medicaid. everybody in medicaid we would be spending such an astronomical sum of money that, you know, we would abrupt the nation. >> obviously the issue is there is the -- the idea of healthcare for all has majority support. and then when you remind people how much it could cost, how much taxes go up. then people get concerned. and obviously you were concerned about the finances there. explain what you mean and how you can change the funding system to not make this so astronomical. >> okay. ver...

We would be spending such an astronomical sum of money that, you know, we would bankrupt the nation. >> obviously, senator, the issue of this is theres the idea of health care for all is something that has majority support. then when you remind people how much it could cost, how much taxes go up, then people get concerned, and obviously you were concerned about the finances there. explain what you mean and how you can change the funding system to not make this so astronomical. >> okay. very good...

Old conversation of yours having to do with the cost of expanding the health care system. let me play it and get your reaction on the other side. >> you want to guarantee that all people have access to health care as you do in canada. but i think what we understand is that unless we change the funding system and the control mechanisms in this country to do that, for example, if we expanded medicaid, everybody -- we would be spending such an astronomical sum of money that, you know, we would bank...

Agreement or guarantee, so to speak from speaker ryan before being elected and chosen as house speaker that he would not bring a bill that has to do with immigration to the floor without a majority of the majority support. so the conference right now, republicans have 240 members in the house so that would be more than 120 members of the conference agreeing on the measure that would come up in front of the house. and so they are falling back on this issue and saying if we dont have a majority, a...

Daca, hurricane relief and raise the debt ceiling, those are 90 percenters. >> the overwhelming support, including the majority support in the party. >> even trump supporters like daca. you also, talking about his base. there is a difference between his base that is a breitbart leader versus somebody working in allentown, pennsylvania. >> yeah. >> and believes in a guy who says screw everything else, im outside the norm, screw politicians, they didnt vote on issues. they didnt vote for him on th...

Again, he continues to talk about wanting to build the wall with no plan. and he puts paul ryan in a bind. the reality is the outlines the democrats and trump agree on here is something that you could get majority support for in the house and the senate. whether you could get majority support among republicans in the house, i think is a really big question. and paul ryan has made that promise to his caucus that on immigration he would only put something on the floor if it had majority of republi...

Why he got such cold feet. maybe it was that this was the moment when so much opposition mounted, stephanie. if you remember, all of the groups that came out, business groups, the catholic bishops, two former presidents issued statements. its possible that he just did not foresee the overwhelming negative response on this. but he is also in an impossible situation here. hes caught between his base and between the overwhelming public support, the majority support for maintaining this program. he ...

As i took them as a very, very serious admonition. >> what about you, david? >> i think david axelrod is completely right. theres been talk of impeachment, talk of the 25th amendment. i think those are misguided. those are beyond what i can imagine right now of what is needed here. i think we all, and this is as youve heard many republicans say, i think everybody would like the president to be successful because that is good for the country. and trying to have -- you hear from his own party ever...

That will go on among -- between these parties going forward. what you saw tonight was a pure exercise in politics, republicans made a promise that some knew would never keep but sounded good. that is the repeal and replace. it was the replace part that they were never going to be able to do because that is the incredibly complex exercise. if the republican promise from the start was repeal and repeal only and if they could have built enthusiasm for that and if they could have built majority sup...

>> you asked about that. it doesnt seem that lockwood abbas is getting the message. he is resisting that. the meeting that jared kushner and jason greenblatt had. they raised this very issue and here is what he writes. not only did a boss -- abbas dismiss their demands. the contemptuous treatment of the trump administration is cbss trump and senior adviser, demanding the trump continue funding in excess of half a billion dollars a year. the act enjoys majority support in both the house and senat...
