point has really been important and paul ryan now also underscoring that trey gowdy's assessment that there really is no credible allegation that the fbi did anything wrong dre is no credible support for the president's allegation is very important. >> thank you all so much for talking with us a this. carrie cordero, shimon prokupecz, manu raju and mark preston, as the republican house speaker casts doubt on the president's spygate conspiracy theory poking holes in it, poppy. we will be right back with more. it was here. i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. for afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited informati

paul ryan, all these other republicans on capitol hill, evangelicals that are backing the president because of his stance on abortion and neil d r gorsuch on the supreme court, they said we cannot have this. so the president needs to get this narrative back. the way he wants to do that is by making a midterm issue. >> franco, what yamiche is describing does strike me when you look at the question of family separation, kids being separated at the border, parents being held for some sort of court proceeding, even among republicans, trump's base, you see it split in half there. then you see wide opposition outside of that. but then when the issue shifts back to this sort of underlying, so-called zero tolerance policy as the trump administration frames it, where, you know, it's this question of anybody crossing the border illegally, should they be held? should she be jailed awaiting some kind of trial, some kind of legal proceeding? should the families be held together in detention while that happens, there is in these polls a lot more support there. it seems the politics of this maybe get more complicated once you get away, if yo
