accusing me of doing. in my absence he misrepresented me, he misrepresented mr mrmr. mr. hebert. he personally went after me. he personally -- you didn't object then, did you? >> i'm not sure i was here, and i'm want sure -- >> i wasn't here either. >> let me continue. >> it would be a decent and honorable thing to do it in the senator's presence and not -- >> well, get him here, but he will have a tape. >> it's good theater, and clearly some of them don't like each other or some of them -- maybe some of them like each other just fine and they're performing. my question is does this affect what does the president get for a tax reform plan? does the president get his isis strategy through congress? what happens to repeeling and replacing obama care? when it comes to specific policies, and the ones he needs democrats on, replacing obama care, an infrastructure plan. is this just for show, or does it affect what this president is going to get a week, a month, a year from now? >> i think you're absolutely right. this is not just about process.
