But i do feel that the aca is not working well. so it needs to be reformed or replaced. should it be repealed? only if it can be replaced. and thats a very hard thing to do. so i think the president acknowledged that its hard. yes, i think there is some credible criticism of the republicans not having had a true game plan. after all, they have been critical of the aca for a very long time. they should have had a replacement strategy in place, not just a repeal strategy. but we know that. this is...

Better, andy? >> im not sure they have, but again, thats a work in progress. people are paying more attention, and we do want more people in america to pay attention to whats happening in washington, d.c. for a long time washington, d.c., was a black box that nobody could look into. at least hes shining the spotlight on congress and what theyre doing or not doing, and im disappointed that he hasnt put good people in place all around the agencies. hes got to do a better job inside the administrat...

Process. however, if youre in leadership and this is what they say privately, you much rather have to convince the moderates heading into the final hours rather than the freedom caucus. its better than the reverse. these are usually guys who want to be team players. they usually come around in the end after whining. so, theyre more optistic than they would be if the holdouts were the freedom caucus. >> good point. >> you werent only texting, you were also tweeting about one topic, nafta. theres ...

Are going to need more documents. i think they are aware of that. mike pompeo is not only a friend but a former colleague. he has pledged his support, im sure admiral rogers at the nsa well, as well. to the extent there is an ongoing criminal investigation, it makes it tougher for doj to share everything. its a work in progress. we are not there yet. but i am optimistic that they understand we can do our jobs without the documents. >> martha: when all this came to a screeching halt a little whil...

Voters he had on election day, that is not going to allow him to do something large. its never going to be enough. >> you have so many voters that regret the obama voter that went for trump. unless he does what he should have done, it will be difficult for him to win those voters. you see the giant numbers and it will be great. i dont know how you are going to get that passed. >> this is where the lobbying comes in and trying to persuade members. he is learning on the job. i dont think he was pr...

Congratulating the man that just seized control of power in turkey, stole an election and now will control turkey, become a more autocratic state. its just the sort of thing you just couldnt imagine any past president doing. >> if mike flynn are still national security adviser, you could imagine that happening. with flynn not there, its really surprising. at the same time, he has built relationships with some world leaders. theyre boasting about that. but its still so much a work in progress. ho...

No hope at all, music can provide that hope. music transports you. it beams you to this other place where freedom is possible for african-american people in a way that was being denied to them in the political present. >> i think martin luther kings legacy, the legacy we should really take to heart is that america as a country, although it has great promise, has not reached its potential yet. its still a work in progress, and the country in many ways needs to be radically reconstructed to includ...

>> this is a big deal. i dont think what the administration has said is quite as contradictory as some people have suggested. i think you could see the certification as a place holder, something required to be done now. at the same time, this expression of doubt whether -- before we saw this thing today, expression of doubt whether iran is, a, really complying, and b, even if they are, whether the deal is in the long-term, a bad deal. >> and tim, the administration was quick to point out that it...

D.c., but thanks for joining us. >> reporter: my own bed is the good part of that. >> thats true. happening now in las vegas, bernie sanders is speaking alongside tom perez. this wraps up the week-long series traveling to red and purple states across the country to unify the democratic base. but the reception is not always harmonious. alex seitz-wald is live at the event and joining me now. alex, the big question is, is it working? is it unifyg the democratic party, this rally? >> reporter: i ...

But big picture, we gonna be all right. >> when it seems like there is no hope at all. music can provide that hope, it transports you. freedom is possible for african-american people in a way that was being denied to them in the political present. >> i think martin luther kings legacy, the legacy we should really take to heart is that america as a country, although it has great promise has not reached its potential yet. its still a work in progress, and the country in many ways needs to be radic...
