about this this morning. friday the president started to bring this up at his political rally in alabama. i can't help but notice that two hours earlier john mccain announced he was going to vote no on the latest efforts for repeal and replace disappointing his political base yet again. a couple of weeks ago when the president cut a deal with democrats on daca for dreamers it wasn't happening. it could be but here we are and we're going to see a sunday in the nfl like we haven't seen and i'll tell you this is a grenade. he dropped a grenade here. i think things are going to get worse before they get better. >> and obviously it's a grenade i know that you were talking about this on the

athletes. >> switching topics real quick, north korea, obviously the rhetoric is picking up a little bit between the two sides here. the president of course going after kim jong un and firing back and forth and the north saying that it looks unlikely that there isn't some sort of retaliation or attack. >> it was interesting what rand paul seemed to say and he is somebody that thinks drawing the line on nuclear ambition was the initial mistake and then you throw in some other issues that when the united states took down gadhafi after he agreed to stop his nuclear weapons that we sent the wrong message. but his answer to this was the same answer you hear from everybody, well maybe this will get china more engaged but that comes with a price. if china is who is needed here to deescalate tensions between u

hit. >> we'll see what rand paul has to say about the republican health care bill. >> he gives an opening of how he will support it. >> all right. reminder, you can catch chuck on meet the press here at 10:30 so less than 10 minutes right here on nbc 4. >> okay a quick programming note to pass along. in case you haven't heard megyn kelly today premieres tomorrow. monday's broadcast features the cast and creators of will and grace and this is us and a few surprises yet to be
