john avalon, everybody! we'll be right back!vor: that's our show for tonight. thank you for tuning in. before we go -- before we go, if you're in new york city next week, here's something you will want to check out. the daily "the daily show" presents the "donald j. trump presidential twitter library," a free exhibit that opens friday june 16 through sunday june 18. go online for details. next week

joininging me on that, john avalon, cnn political analyst, jason miller, former communications adviser to president trump and margaret hoover, cnn commentator and worked in the bush white house. thank you all for being here. jason, let me begin with you. phil mattingly noted so many things that would happen if you just repeal obamacare, don't replace it with anything and work on replace it later. most notably, you need 60 votes, so you need chuck schumer and the democrats on board. what do you make of the president doing this? >> poppy, good morning. as much as i would like the republicans to repeal obamacare, it's not going to happen, at least not as a stand alone bill. what the president may be doing, from the outside looking in, is lighting a fire on those working on this actual repeal and replace legislation in the senate to get this done. go get them fired up and say, hey, there are a lot of folks who would like to go with 100% repeal. i think he may have been lighting a fire under them and drawing more attention to the overall need to get this done. we saw another provider pull o

john avalon, the speaker of the house just did us a favor, paul ryan. in an interview this morning he clarified a selling proposition for the gop here. what we know, basically, he's saying if you don't force somebody to buy obamacare, then they won't. and that's the difference. we're deciding something that people will want, not simply that they'll "have to do." that's the sell on why they must repeal. that is what is motivating mcconnell now in the senate, ryan, then, in the house, to get this done. >> right. so that's the, the rhetoric of freedom and a libertarian rationale and fundamental repediation of one-time running mate's only plan, mitt romney, a conservative procedure out of heritage foundation originally. put that aside. the impact, offer the packages are too expensive particularly for young people, but the absence of any mandate at all or coverage means when those folks end up with a critical situation, going to the emergency room, that's socialized health care. the other impact, because the government will take care it of one way or the oth

let's bring in our political panel, david gregory and john avalon and julie pace. john avalon, it's confusing what jay sekulow was saying, in part because in the same interview he said different things. let me play for you a portion of him talking to jake tapper and then chris wallace, that sounded diametricalily opposed. >> should we take it that the president is under investigation? >> let me be clear. he is not under investigation. now he's being investigated by the department of justice. the special counsel under the special counsel regulations reports still to the department of justice, not an independent counsel. he is being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general deputy attorney general recommended him to take by the agency who recommended the termination. >> how do you make sense of this? >> that doesn't make any sense because it's a complete contradiction. that's what you do when you're out there, spinning, trying to get people to ignore what they've seen with their own eyes. the mueller investigation, what we mow of it, "the washingto

john avalon, editor in chief of the "the daily beast," and mark preston. john, you're with me.e chuck schumer bit whatever your politics are, one could get a chuckle at that. that moment -- this is their first meeting all together. the cameras are there and that's what they say to the president. significant? >> yeah. this is going to go down as the dear leader cabinet meeting and maybe they should all get matching uniforms. >> referring to north korea. >> this is creepy. whether they were coached to say something positive or merely felt outdo the other, that's not the way we do things in this country. it looked like a hostage video at times and so this was something that should trouble anyone particularly republicans who would normally tear the obseekness of it. >> was the praise genuine. the only way to of the president like them or listen to them is to say something like that at the beginning? >> erin, i'm sure they were thankful to be in that position but at the same time you question, is this their version of the loyalty test to this president? we've seen presidents come an

john, are you tired of winning? >> apparently he doesn't want to win anymore. that's my problem with avalon. >> understood. >> we're all exhausted from it. >> i feel that. thank you all very much. meanwhile, senate republicans are about to unveil their secret health care bill. what are democrats planning in response? senator ron wyden tells us next. t summer deals up to 40% off. visit booking.com. booking.yeah! tech: when you schedule with safelite autoglass, you get time for more life. this family wanted to keep the game going. son: hey mom, one more game? tech: with safelite, you get a text when we're on our way. you can see exactly when we'll arrive. mom: sure. bring it! tech: i'm micah with safelite. mom: thanks for coming, it's right over here. tech: giving you a few more minutes for what matters most. take care! family: bye! kids singing: safelite® repair, safelite® replace.
