We have had meetings on our side for the past several years, get down to it. i think we are a lot closer on this than healthcare as an example. republicans pretty much agree we ought to have lower tax rate, have tax relief, tax cuts, particularly middle class families, and do something so sensible on the international side, its crazy, losing jobs. >> neil: you mention healthcare at the outset, the president did a 180, as you know, senator saying it first earlier in the week, let obamacare implod...

Healthcare. its going to implode. eric.eric: these are two republn senators. ohio and west virginia have a massive opioid crisis going on. what the republicans just did was throw $45 billion to those two senators so they would vote for this new version of obamacare, in my opinion thats all this is. that is the d.c. swamp, throwing billions of billions of dollars to buy votes. your smiling. am i wrong. >> no, i think thats right. i was taken by your honesty when you said this is what republicans ...
