Have been a united front on this. democrats have been voting no on all of these aca repeal bills no matter what they are. is it your sense, though, that the democrats -- sorry -- that the republicans are going to be able to put together enough votes to pass something? my sense is that they dont really care what theyre going to pass as long as it gives them something that they can put to a conference committee and start working on behind closed doors with the house. do you think theyll be able to...

Obviously, we only have those four pages of e-mail. there clearly have to be others. mueller is going to want to talk to everyone who was involved and everyone who was mentioned in those e-mails, including rona, the then candidate, now presidents assistant. so this is a lot to investigate. and its just one part of his investigation. and there really is no reason to conclude one way or another now whether some illegality took place because its a moving target. >> senator, just politically, i get ...

Out yesterday. we are getting that detail worked on. that helped a lot actually. >> thank you, senator . >> julie: we will go back to peter doocy in a moment, but they are, you just heard from david or do david from georgia. theyll go back to the drawing board make some tweaks, changes, rewrite this bill, and then try to push it forward, expecting possibly another cbo report next week. beyond that july 4th deadline. how much further. weve heard paul ryan moments ago saint, mitch mcconnell will g...

We have a few people that are -- i think you could say modestly, theyre not standing on the rooftops and screaming. they want points, i think theyll get some points, and i dont think theyre that far off. i dont think theyre that far off. famous last words, right? but i think were going to get there. >> lets head straight to the white house and cnn white house correspondent athena jones. athena is there anymore indication from the president on how he would like to see the bill changed before the ...

Particularly concerned about what happens to kids who dont get the health care they need. >> right. >> and i gave a really hot speech and i got hammered for it repeatedly because i dont know what the way forward will be for others, walt, but for me, trying to convey my commitment, my lifelong commitment, and not only that, what ive done and, you know, ive put up against anybody who ran or thought of running what ive already accomplished compared to what they have on behalf of people, it just is ...

So before we went to the monterrey, california and i was trying them out just seeing what they can do and i was checking out the zoom and bringing it back, bringing it forward, just seeing if i could get good clarity on them and i guess it was the day and i zoomed in as much as i can and it was really far out too, 150 yards from our balcony so i was trying to keep it steady. i was holding it. i didnt have anything to put it on so i was trying to hold it really steady plus the adrenaline it was r...

But our future plans. i think the members are experiencing that, theres a lot of conversation gown on, and i think -- going on, and i think well see positive movement going forward. eric: how do you make sure the senate doesnt strike out on it? >> well, i think thatll be the million dollar question for the senate. i i think the senators have had a lot of suggestions on how were doing it, but i will throw it back to the senate saying youre part of the reason were having to do it this way, the way...

I applaud your interest in bringing democrats to the table. but you also know the reality thats not going to that. there wasnt much interest for the democrats cooperating with republicans anyway. and doing it through reconciliation essentially tells the democrats were going to try o get this through with 51 votes in the united states senate. so two questions, is this bill today, the bill you discussed tonight, is it better than a bill of a week ago. from your perspective? meaning has the preside...
