could take action to fire mueller you re simply not paying attention. let me put up poll numbers that would deliver information to the republicans. 50% support democrats, 40% support republicans. fbi 48% have a favorable view of the fbi despite the president s efforts to diswhy the fbi. only 20% unfavorable. robert mueller, a lot of americans have a lack of familiarity with, 28% a favorable view, 20% do not. those numbers, specifically the generic balance pot would resonate with the republicans. you would think so. but again, it could be short-term thinking that it s march. and the election is not until november. so, we really don t have to worry about this until maybe after 4th of july, maybe after labor day if these numbers are this way. then we can panic and run away from the president, pretend like
reminded are what democrats learned in 2009, is when you make a large-scale change or threat on the make a large-scale change to the health care provision in this country, it affects people right where they live and they re not going to take it quietly. so i think it s going to add urgency to the fact that they own health care right now in this country because we federalized this issue so much. and so they re going to i think have increased motivation to not just repeal or tinker or repair but actually have something on the table to replace it and i m sure they are panicking right now. we know also yamiche at the republican retreat there were folks elected republicans saying, you know, we break it, we buy it after this point. if we really mess with this, we have to take into account how much of a ripple effect this is going to be to the economy and to americans who have now come to depend on it. do you think that those republicans can break through the president s perspective?
energized and showing up at town halls and they want to win again, i guess. that s really the message. when it comes to the actions of this administration, are constituents reaching out to you expressing frustration, i mean, folks who would be republican or vote for trump that may have voted with certain reservations about him as president but are surprised at some of the swift and some would say more careless actions? well, i ve had a number of constituents contact me. there are a lot of people who are concerned about what s happening in the country, particularly those who, you know, are opposed to president trump. they feel that, you know, they re not being heard in many cases and so i ve had a number of meetings with constituents who come in and just want to share with me their thoughts on whatever the issue of the moment is, immigration, health care. there s a lot of concern out there. i think as republicans we have to listen to everybody, not just those who support republicans
we re also jealous of you. you are in florida. we are not. thank you. joining me no now, our two gues. i think we can all say we re jealous of the folks in florida right now. would you agree? i m from miami so i m always jealous of people in florida. we ve gotten that out of the way. matt, talk about the protests and whether or not you think this is going to have impact on republicans and how they carry themselves back to d.c. on issues about the repeal and replace of obamacare. absolutely. jason chaffetz is a unique character in that he s ao the held of the house government oversight reform committee, and there s a lot of concern about that on the ground there. but there are a thousand people not just in the build bug outside of the building. we saw this with justin amosh, who got a friendly reception in michigan, but he had 600 people with another couple hundred outside too. everyone is motivated here. what republicans are being
town because of a snowstorm last week in washington and maybe they should have taken a little bit more time. he said it was a very it was kind of a very rapid process. everybody was looking forward to getting out of town because of the snowstorm. i think we probably should have had more discussion about it. and i would suggest yeah think? yeah let s parse that out. you sign a letter quickly to iran because you re in a hurry to leave town because of a snowstorm? i think what is most sort of detrimental here is that when it comes to congress having an imprint on what s happening in iran this has been bipartisan. there s already a pretty large group of democrats who support republicans. it s bipartisan legislation to actually pass legislation to say, mr. president, you re not going to be able to not ratify because it s not a treaty. this is not going to be something we can really sign on to as the united states government unless congress does so. this has made that bipartisan mo
