Mitch mcconnell right now. >> kristen welker, i was stunned by the president's comments. obviously, when you talk about health care, there's a political consideration, but i have never heard an american president reduce health care policy-making to just the crass political, bare-knuckles aspect of it. the fact that obamacare is now more popular than the senate republican bill is in part his fault. he could have helped to make the senate bill more popular, but he trashed the house bill. he said the senate bill needed more heart, and now he just reduces the entire debate, which at its best is ab...

Increase. 200% increase in their premiums. in their deductibles or through the roof. it's an absolute disaster. i think you'll also agree that i've been saying for a long time, let obamacare fail and everybody will have to come together and fix it and come up with a new plan and a plan that's good for the people with much lower premiums, much lower cost, and much better protection. i've been saying that for a long time. let obamacare fail, it will be a lot easier. i think we are finally in a position where we let obamacare fail. we won't own it. i'm not going to own it. i'll tell you republica...
