How many of you is this your third night here . Quite a few of you. This has been a remarkable become fair and couldnt come at a better time to be honest. We had trevor noah, then we had James Carville and if you didnt see allen coming culping he was remarkable remarkable and then Jerald Geraldine books who was track and tonight we have a special guest.

So lets give them a pick rousing applause. [applause] i was going to say we also have a journalist two journalists speaking with one another. Also want to thank the remarkable coverage that all the journalist have g
State legislatures, the control of the house, at the moment, but democratic president ial level is rocky. Look back for a moment. Was there any time when you thought she might lose to Bernie Sanders . I cant say that i wasnt nervous. But i never thought she would lose. In the general, people call and say, did you see this . That come back and think, much of this and that much of that. Down the road, we know we will get a bunch of emails and we have a bunch of donors whot suggest had access to her. How much of a threat do you think it is, it giving it is the biggest looming political threat right now. How much of a threat is it . Running a campaign of getting political advice i would say, shut it down. People are going to die. If bob doled , ifthe majority leader george w. Bush is raising money for his library when his son was president , that is fine. A lady sent me an email from a Charity Watchdog group and pointed out that started by george h. W. Bush while he was still in office. I

And our stock market could rocket higher because the gree
Ask them what they think of what has been pulled together here. Now, one big question mark were still going to have once this is over. That cbo score, how much is this bill going to cost . Be ready for some senators to say until i know what that is. The question is what is the balance between these conservative senators the medicaid cuts and these moderates looking for some help for people, especially older american, and dont want to see people thrown off of medicaid immediately. I cannot wait until you start chasing some senators there in the hallways. We will be coming back to you when that happens. You have your nikes on i hope, Kelly Odonnell is over at the white house, tell us about the white house involvement in this. Its our reporting some aides were on capitol hill last night trying to figure out what is in this bill and what they are doing to push it forward and what we will hear from the president. Reporter i think its a different posture with the president being so all in wi
this will probably, this is not the best possible bill, it s the best bill possible under very difficult circumstances. so you don t have any alternative. i don t think. now, there comes a time when everybody s i think in a career or house career, where you have to say, well, okay, this isn t exactly what i want or i have a real serious problem here, but we have to move the process forward. because the alternative is very grim and then there is enough blame to go around on both sides then. are you confident that this bill you have been listening to senator pat roberts of kansas talk with our own kasie hunt and ought reporters what about a we are seeing in this health care bill. senate republicans are just getting a look. i think that senator roberts is one of the first folks you see walking out of that meeting. we are keeping an eye on what s going on in that hallway. i want to go back to kasie hunt trying to follow that belabored butch cassidy there, not a time of overwhelming o
