agenda item for his administration. a revisiting of health care reform. earlier this week the president protecting republicans and democrats will eventually, he said, come together on the issu issue. well, you might have to do it without a key committee chairman. an op-ed on foxnews.com, tennessee congresswoman diane black saying she will step down as the house budget committee, because she is running for governor in 2018 in her home state. an exclusive interview, so good to see you. congratulations are in order. >> thank you, it is good to be with you this evening. >> trish: walk me through what is next. i know that you are leaving, and we are going to talk about your plans in a moment, but what do you anticipate being the front and center policy item in d.c. in '18? >> we looked back on this last
sources." listen to this quote from "people" magazine. i feel this issue has been hold all year but not forgotten. it's been simmering with on the stove with the lid on, like a pressure cooker buchlt now the heat's on and it's going to boil. and the lid is going to blast off. that's natasha stoynov, writer for "people," for the lack of attention to this, those women who accused president trump for sexual misconduct during the campaign last year. they feel there's never been justice for their stories. we're seeing a revisiting of these stories against president trump and now former president bill clinton. i'm joined again by elaina plott and marc fisher.
try to revisit elements of this deal to revise it until some of the holds and what the president i think noted was a bad deal for the united states and for its allies. >> jon: it may have been a bad deal but it's in place and it's my understanding that his national security advisor h.r. mcmaster is saying you have to stick with what's been foisted upon us. >> i think there is still a debate and if you listen to what the president said during his united nations speech, he hinted there is going to be a revisiting of this in some way. that's not to say he's going to tear up the deal but i think there are some options short of that in the president is looking into that now ahead of the next recertification period. >> jon: is it realistic to pull out of that deal or amended significantly? >> this is something they've been looking out for quite some time, i know there is a lot of trepidation among the international community of walking away, giving iran an
republicans seem paralyzed by their division and slim majority. others fear trouble ahead in primaries as conservatives with a legislative track record or political experience now challenges. we saw that backfire in 2010 with people like sharon angle and christine o'donnell and delaware who critics say were damaged by rookie. democrats may face their own liabilities as the midterms get closer. >> i think we'll start seeing a number of democratic primaries. we have this litmus test, whether or not you're for socialized medicine, we have more democratic candidates emerging across the country and governors races. it all adds to the stakes of tax reform, defense spending, the budget and a possible revisiting of repeal and replacement of obamacare as a country waits to see whether the g.o.p. congress can get things done.
that will be enough. >> mark: he has actually put a brick, laid the foundation. >> harris: that can happen and probably well, but it can't be done all along and i've never understood the president to actually be saying that's what he would be doing. >> kennedy: you know it's really funny? that issue that you bring up, that's where you could have a lot of bipartisan support and it certainly was there 11 years ago. the landscape may have changed a little bit, but if there is a rational revisiting of what people voted for in 2006, maybe would have a bipartisan solutio solution. >> meghan: sounds like an oxymoron. we have to move on, some of the mainstream media are ridiculing
both then candidate trump and then senator sessions had praised at the time. senator sessions had said jim comey had no choice but to write that october 28th letter informing the congress about the revisiting of the hillary clinton investigation. >> and he cites that as a reason. yeah, i want to -- >> don, i -- yeah, but i get the point you're making which is was -- was trump alerted to the fact that something was happening here and was he trying to recruit comey to be loyal rather than stir the pot on some of the -- on the growing concerns he had about this investigation. i want to make a separate point based on what michael said which is the 18-day gap because the interesting thing about it was there was no reason to believe that had the washington post not surfaced the fact of this sally yates' meeting with the white
policy issues outside of this, i commend him for being cool and measured in this first test clearly by the north koreans. >> so you're saying there is time for a gnaw approach and this is just a reminder. i know you're already commenting about donald trump's coolness or lack thereof, but this was donald trump on the campaign trail when he was talking to anderson cooper about this sort of matter. >> wouldn't you rather, in a certain sense, have japan have nuclear weapons when north korea has numbering clear weapons? and they do have them, they absolutely have them. they have no carrier system yet but they will very soon. wouldn't you rather have japan perhaps they're over there, they're very close, very fearful of north korea and we're supposed to protect. >> so do you anticipate a revisiting of that statement or encouragement of that view? >> no, no. i think that the trump administration has walked way
not based on statistical analyses that there might have been somehow. >> right. i think the point of those cases is supposed to be that there's a pattern or practice of discrimination, and people lose sight of the last part and say, well, there's a pattern. well, a pattern doesn't do it. it's got to be a pattern of discrimination, and i think there'll be a focus on that. i think also that there will be a revisiting of some of the use of the justice department as a profit center. and, you know, going after record fines and not individuals. paul: yeah. this is against some of the big banks and for the practices during the financial crisis. >> right. i'm not suggesting they're going to be more permissive. i think, if anything, they will focus on determining which people are responsible for crimes if crimes were committed and going after those people. paul: individual accountability. thank you, judge mukasey, appreciate your being here. still ahead, as the hope and change president delivers his

decrees that address police misconduct and enhanced accountability. senator sessions did not adequately assure me that his department would uphold these agreements without revisiting or renegotiating these agreements. i pressed senator sessions for a commitment to defend roe v. wade in federal court and to enforce laws that guarantee the constitutionally protected right for a woman to choose. but senator sessions did not disavow his past comments that roe v. wade was one of the worst supreme court decisions ever made. and he does not acknowledge that that decision has a constitutional basis. should the supreme court be presented with a case that gives them the opportunity to overturn roe v. wade, i asked senator sessions whether what he would direct his solicitor general to
