Pope s position is on social issues and you got a guy from a catholic state that is actually believing what the catholicing church sa church says, take it up with sim six months from now. take it up with him when he s back in congress. that is a vigorous debate we should continue to have. and when i was at the white house podium, i famously had a couple exchanges through the media with congressman scalise and his office. we have our profound political differences. but he did not at all deserve what happened to him and we all as americans have are to be rooting for his recovery. we absolutely are. we have a political system to resolve our differences without violence. that is the whole point of politics. we engage in debate, we decide who wins and loses by who gets the most votes. i ve got differences with steve scalise, with bernie sanders on lot of sues.
you do? yeah. i don t think i can do ossoff. that s pretty good. it s getting there. small shoulders. okay. millennial shoulders. they re all very well groomed and they have small shoulders. okay. there we go. all right. we need to do this much more. thank you matt miller. thank you. coming up, one of the senate s top republicans pumping the brakes on health care. why some in the gop are saying not so fast. we ll bring robert costa back into the conversation when morning joe comes right back. okay. got it. rumor confirmed. they re playing. -what? -we gotta go.
