we don't have a policy dispute -- it's amazing to me ron johnson's pure honesty.ase for alexander/murray's bill essentially but says until i know the house passes it i don't know if we can support it. that's where e are these days? isn't it? >> the bar, real reform. what does that mean. alexander/murray has waivers around state, something like grah graham/cassidy. the question, when is enough, enough to tip them over the edge and comes back to president trump. can he fully embrace alexander-murray to give members in congress what they need to pass this thing. >> and i found on the floor today, exactly what the president told me again here today. and e had whips it out and said the president said -- go ahead and use csrs as a leverage. almost like -- almost like daring the president to contradict him a little here. >> yeah. >> which he might. >> by, i don't know, by a tweet or by tomorrow. we'll have something different. the other amazing thing is how every time they talk about this issue it only serves to remind republicans of ow difficult this is, and we've seen

meanwhile the republican senator ron johnson saying that the only thing that would probably in the conflict is regime change. adding there is no viable military options. >> eventually a regime change because kim jong-un is all about this power and he thinks nuclear program combines with intercontinental ballistic missiles will guarantee that. there is no viable military option. it be horrific and i'll think anybody wants to contemplate that. we must get china to recognize and to be fully engaged. >> joining us now is judy miller, an adjunct fellow and a pulitzer prize winning author and journalist and a fox news contributor. it's good to have you here. so, it appears that no one seems to know exactly what president trump's intentions are or what is thinking is. i think this is all guestworker speculation. what could president trump mean, is it regime change? how may kim jong-un perceive these cryptic tweets? >> i think i felt like the present kim jong-un are equally unreadable. we do not know what either of them really has in mind. there is a conference at george washington university this

obviously, you've got great members like your own ron johnson. are we making inroads with dems or are we keeping our guys in line? >> i think the answer is yes to both of those. this-- the reason we wanted to do it this way, release the frame work, a lesson we learned from health care. the house passed the obamacare repeal and replace back in may and the goal we'll get it done in may and you guys in senate get this in june and we'll wrap up by fourth of july and that was the plan. the senate took months, tried to get this thing called the skinny budget and didn't work, and tried to get graham-cassidy, didn't work. so what we decided to do, let's put more time and energy in the front end of the process to get everybody on the same page. this is with mays and means and withle trump white house and so we have a frame work that we agree to ahead of time and put that out and now tax writers are filling in details inside the frame work. by doing four months of spade work ahead of time by getting us on the same page, that makes the actual process of sta

obviously you've got great members like your own ron johnson. are we -- are we making inroads with dems? >> i think the answer is yes. the reason we wanted to do it this way is a lesson we learned from health care. the house passed its obamacare repeal and replace bill back in may. and then the goal then was we'll get this done in may and you guys in the senate get yours done in june and we'll wrap this up by the fourth of july. that was the plan. the senate took months. tried to get this thing called the skinny budget. that didn't work. they tried to get graham cassidy. that didn't work. what we decided to do was let's put more time and energy at the front end of the process to get everybody on the same page to agree on this framework, which was this framework was written by the senate finance committee and the house ways and means committee with the trump white house, with treasury. so that we have a framework that we agreed to ahead of time. put that out and now those tax writers filling the details inside this framework. by doing four months

obviously, you have great members like your own, ron johnson, are we making inroads with democrats or are we keeping our guys in mind? rep. ryan: i think the answer is yes to both of those questions. the reason we wanted to release the framework this way is other than that we learn from health-care. -- it'se plan is obamacare repeal bill in may. we told the senate, you guys get it done in june and we rested up. that was -- we wrap it up. plan.as the they tried to do this connubial that didn't work, they tried to get graham-cassidy, that didn't work. what we decided to do was, let's put more time and energy at the front end of the process to get everybody on the same page, so -- to agree on this framework. this framework was written by the senate finance committee and the house ways and means committee with the trump white house. with treasury and n.e.c. cohen's shop. so that we have a framework that we agree to ahead of time, put that out and now those tax writers are filling the details inside this framework. so by doing four months of spade work ahead of time, by getting us on the s

let's discuss with republican senator, ron johnson, the senate of the homeland security commission. senator, thank you for going to puerto rico so you can have eyes and ears of your own on the situation. i want to show you the president's tweet. i know corker is going on, and puerto rico mattered more to me and i am sure to me and to you. nobody could have done what i have done for puerto rico with so little appreciate and so much work. senator, you cannot go down there and look around and say, wow, this is a situation that deserves applause for the president of the united states. it's in crisis down there. what is your take? >> first of all, let me give credit on a bipartisan basis over a number of administrations of what we have done after katrina in terms of approving our pre-disaster response ahead of time. fema has done an excellent job. 70% of gas stations and tkpwraegrocery stores are on the island. it was not the devastation i expected to see. we saw pictures of st. martin' every house flattened. again, my main reason of going down there was to assure the prae puerto ricans

. >> and yet you have a republican senator ron johnson with this take on it. play that. >> what has try in the past hasn't worked, that's obviously. from my standpoint, the only thing that will work is to get china fully engaged and use their influence and probably a regime change. there's no viable military option. it would be horrific and nobody wants to contemplate that. >> i don't know anybody around the president who said they want military action and yet the president who also always says, i don't want to telegraph what i'm going to do keeps telegraphing the possibility of military action. where does that leave us, pes herb especially with rex tillerson powerless at state? >> i think it leaves us in a dangerous place. and senator corker referred to it over the weekend and said, look, this could brink lead us bring of world war iii. but there's no scenario for conflict in the koreas that doesn't have hundreds of thousands of casualties. some of them have millions of casualties. north korea has a giant arsenal, 35 miles away from seoul, korea. and it is ve

we heard from senator ron johnson. so far the only republican senator to say he does support this idea of banning bump stocks. he said automatic weapons are illegal and to me that's part of the same type of process so i have no problem banning those. and certainly it's significant as well that we have seen many members of the republican leadership, senator core sundaying they should hear hearings. this bill has 26 democratic members signed on and no republican co-sponsors yet. mitch mcconnell sets the agenda for congress and he said he believes legislation as of now is too premature to consider. >> we will see. it seems odd republicans and democrats are saying there's a disconnect here and interested in something they can pursue. >>> 172 people in the hospital this morning in the wake of the attack in las vegas. 489 injured. that number was lowered slightly because some people were counted twice. we are learning more about the 58 people killed. and scott mcclain joins us with more of their stories. scott. >> reporter:

yesterday we heard senator ron johnson, a serious republican player, say i'm okay with this because we. we have kelly. we have tillerson. so we're okay. that's the concern here. what is the stability around the president. >> that's the closest thing to comfort that republican members of congress can draw upon. because what they know and what they say in private is what bob corker finally said in public the other day. the administration is functioning like an adult day care, trying to dissuade the president from his most impulsive ideas. they keep bubbling up. we had the president of the united states challenging his secretary of state to an iq contest. he is serious. chris did a great job compiling some of the answers. let the entire cabinet do it. let's really dig phi this process. then maybe we can get some answers. >> to john's point, i feel like there is a tweet for every occasion. but donald trump at the inauguration lunch on january 19th, the day before, said my cabinet has the highest iq of any cabinet. >> i like it. put your money where your mouth is. let's all take an iq test

ron johnson from wisconsin, senator cornyn, the speaker of the house, even the nra acknowledging there needs to be something done about these bump stocks. i'm confident we'll see something as long as demonstrate don't try to turn it over a much larger over arcing debate. >> the nra is very good at what they do and one of the things they are very good at doing is stopping legislation that, in their view would go too far. we're talking about bump stocks. that's a tiny fraction of the gun problem in the united states but the nra has said here's a solution. we'll come forward and propose a change. now it's interesting to note that despite my republican colleague here, her discussion of the hill and congress, what the nra is calling for is for the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms to go before congress. they know there will be calls for other legislation. that's how amendments work. the nra doesn't want that. the problem the nra has they no longer have obama or democrats in charge of congress saying this will be a domino effect. you let one legislation go through and then they will ta

you got rand paul out out of it and ron johnson out of it who won, but then christine o'donnell and joe wilson and you had sayerin engle who took out republicans who potentially were competitive in a general but all lost their general election races. what do you see is the comparisons to that era in republican politics? >> well, that san important comparison. that's one that frustrated republicans like karl rove who said the gop keeps putting up candidates who are going to lose for ideological purposes. i think some of the people who bannon might back and whoever this machine, maybe it's the breitbart machine puts its muscle behind won't be winning candidates in general elections. i think this could cost the republican party. both seats. but also ideologically for the ones who want to stave off the competitors to take positions who are -- to a lot of americans. so i think the republicans face huge risks here in terms of losing seats and in terms of where this party is going. >> does this sell, errol, in nevada in a race against dean heller or in arizona against jeff flake, that these ca

republican senator ron johnson the chairman of the homeland security committee said he would likely support the ban since fully automatic weapons are already illegal. bill of texas supports outlawing bump stocks saying there's no reason for it. john cornyn calling for hearings with a special focus on firearms attachment. >> joining us for politico. great to have you with us this morning. the door seems to be open to making a slight change to gun policy. we know how quickly the door can close. what's the likelihood of doing the bear minimum on this issue with some of the accessories we've been talking about. >> if we're going to see any progress in terms of gun control following the shooting, bump stock issue is where we're going to see it. we've seen enough key republicans coming out and saying they're at least interested in learning more about this. while it's unclear if the senate would be able to get 60 votes necessary to pass an election like this. i think we'll definitely see some hearings on the issue and seef it discussed for a while. people yesterday indicated they were kind of uncl

this morning republican senator ron johnson said he wasn't worried about it. >> if people really wantal, they are going to have to come through a republican house and a republican senate. i've been talking to house members to try to get what we would require to fund what we all believe are collapsing markets under obamacare. >> reporter: make no mistake, talk of a deal with dems is certainly unsettling some republicans on capitol hill and right at a time when president trump really needs them if he wants to pass the largest tax cuts in u.s. history. liz? elizabeth: kristin, thank you so much. appreciate it. >>> this is a fox news alert, brand new video of vice president mike pence leaving the indiana colts and i believe it was the san francisco 49ers' game just moments ago. he left because there was a number of players who were not standing during the national anthem. he did tweet out not long after: i left today's colts' game because@potus and i will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag and our national anthem. so e -- this just goes in line with the culture

ron johnson and mark meadows, two folks who have been working very, very hard on trying to put together along with others in the house and senate, i think are going to be sprucing a plan next week that has common sense reforms in there. things like -- that we're going to have prices for services and products being push lishd. those are the kinds of common sense things they're going to put forward that can lower rates and we'll see whether democrats come to the table or whether they come up with phoney reforms -- >> have the democrats come in. let them do it because they were willing to negotiate. >> i appreciate it both of you. thank you. coming up next, the president dismantling the iran nuclear deal. accusing the president of his words cast rating the secretary of state this this this this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve

but this morning on another sunday show republican senator ron johnson said he wasn't worried about it. >> if people really want to do a deal, they are going to have to come through republican house and republican senate. i have been talking to house members to try and get what we would require to fund what we all believe are collapsing markets under obama care. >> talk of a deal with dems on healthcare has unsettled some republicans on capitol hill and at a time when president trump really needs them if he wants to pass the largest tax cuts in u.s. history. arthel? arthel: thanks, kristen. >>> this is a man who behaved rationally privately, a little introverted, liked to play video poker, but he was a rational man and yet he prepared over an extended period of time a totally irrational act -- irrational act. now this sounds like someone either totally demented a behavior which he never evidenced or someone who is sending a message. this is a plan. we don't know what that message is or if there is one, but this behavior according to my employees is as stunning as unexpected as anybody

the public and senator bob corker says he is cosponsoring that measure and fellow republican ron johnsonploading some changes to it. but speaker paul ryan says he is against the bipartisan approach adding that he does not expect the measure to be able to pass the house. in the white house says the president cannot support what he sees as bailouts with insurance companies. secretary sarah sanders on it. >> we want something that doesn't just bail out the insurance companies but actually provides relief for all americans. this bill doesn't address that fact. we want to make sure that's taken care of. we think this is a good step in the right direction, this president certainly supports republicans and democrats coming to work together. but it's not a full approach and we need something to go a little bit further to get on board. >> harris: is is a good start? lamar alexander and patty murray who is a fierce negotiator on the other side of the aisle but they've come up with something bipartisan. is it a good start or not close enough to what the president had already articulated i thought p

i want to add on senate side about 401(k), ron johnson, senator from wisconsin came out today said he would not support anything that changes 401(k). when you are dealing with a majority that slim, one other senator cooks the bill. this is going to be a fight all the way through. >> we have to stay on that. you had 20 no votes. 20 no votes on getting the budget through. the budget for the most part is hard to argue against. you have to debt -- >> speaker ryan how do you feel? >> the fact you have 20 no votes and now you get through a very, very difficult tax bill, good luck to you. >> this is not a slam dunk in any way. garrett will try to talk to republicans. i saw speaker ryan walking by him. let's go to ben carden. we want to talk about the other matters that are going on. let's ask about you this, senator. good to see you. the administration really wants the budget bill and then tax reform passed by the end of the year. they got the budget bill. what do you think the likelihood of a tax bill by the end of the year is? >> i don't think it's very likely we will get it done this year

senator ron johnson of wisconsin told politico, if that actually gets on the senate floor, i would vote for it. congressman bill flores of texas told the hill, i think they should be banned. and senator tom rooney of florida said that trump needs to take the lead on this bump stock issue. he's the only one that can. sarah huckabee sanders also signaled today that the white house is open to regulating or banning bump stocks. here she is. >> does the president support legislation that would ban or regulate bump stocks? >> so we're certainly open to that moving forward, but we want to be part of that conversation as it takes place in the coming days and weeks. >> governor, let's talk about the politics. there's so many stays, as i said last night from new york, all the way across the middle of the country, until you get there, like california, that are pro-gun. pennsylvania is well known to be pro-gun. yet you've been elect eed twu e governor in that state by pretty comfortable margins by being a gun control guy. how do you do it? >> and chris, remember, pennsylvania is the second highest

and that's the point that ron johnson and mark meadows and a group of republicans are going to put something that's going to lower premiums, in exchange for conservatives voting for these cost-sharing reduction payments. if the democrats are serious about trying to lower premiums -- >> mr. santorum -- >> the gentleman you just talked about, they need to do that. >> been waiting seven years for a republican proposal that will lower premiums. there has not been one republican proposal to lower premiums that has been scored by an independent group, standard & poor's, or any number of other groups that evaluate these things that has said they have a proposal that will lower premiums. we will wait to see it, but we have to a proposal. i've given the president many ideas about lowering premiums. go after drugs, which there's bipartisan support for. he hasn't done that, has never submitted legislation. change how we pay doctors and hospitals. probably the best way of lowering premiums. they've actually reversed that in hhs under former secretary price. change how we actually buy hospital beds or cp

i think you could look like psalmody like ron johnson in the senate who obviously knows health care veryame. >> chris: as early, thanks, panel, we will see you later. when we come back, seeking a win after the failure to repeal obamacare, president trump rolls off the republican plan to cut taxes. we will discuss it with white house budget director mick mulvaney. that's next. >> chris: coming up, president trump's hhs secretary tom price resigns under fire for taking costly taxpayer-funded private flights. >> i was disappointed because i didn't like it. >> chris: we will ask the white house budget director about new guidelines after 8 years of chris christie, is kim guadagno the change new jersey really needs? guadagno is christie's hand-picked successor. says she's "proud to be part of the christie administration." guadagno was chris christie's right hand as our schools came under attack, critical services were underfunded, and our credit rating was downgraded...11 times. from the bridge to the beach, we've seen it all, and we've had enough. kim guadagno isn't the change we need. p://ww

murray, one to republican and one to democrat, are expected within days, and republican senator ron johnson unveiled his own more conservative-leaning version. the result, they write here, driven by unexpectedly far-reaching moves by mr. trump on healthcare last week could be a resumption of the battle that unfolded during the republicans' attempts to repeal the 2010 affordable care act. that's "the wall street journal" story. lots of folks writing on all of this this morning and calling in now is walter from milwaukee. walter, what do you think of the future of the affordable care act? where's this headed? caller: i want to know, why do this man hate the poor so much that made him rich was poor people. and also want to know, do he now lazarus? where did the rich man go? host: anything else, walter? kevin: and god bless him. i pray for him. host: thanks for calling. facebook comments, raymond writes the government isn't going to pay the subsidies to the insurance companies. who do people think they're going to pay for it? oh, that's right, the people that make up the premiums, the people th

i want to thank senator ron johnson for his persistence in pushing this legislation even harry he former senator, reid, shut it down last congress. a v.a. employee took his own life after being subjected to cruel retaliation from v.a. officials. i hope it puts in perspective the immense emotional burdens that victims of retaliation face. mr. speaker, this issue is personal for me. unfortunately, i've seen exactly what retaliation against whistleblowers looks like, how easy it is to get away with it and why we have to put a stop to it. last week marked the three-year anniversary since the director of central alabama v.a. became the first senior manager in the country fired as a result of the weightless scandal. that was a major step towards turning around one of the nation's worst v.a. systems in restoring trust with the veteran population it serves. but mr. speaker, i can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it would have never happened without brave whistleblowers inside the v.a. telling me the truth. two brave individuals in particular, sheila muse and rich tremaine told me the truth ab

they're willing to discuss gun laws likely focused on this bump stock that we've all learned about ron johnsonboth sides you can arrive at a compromise but that's not what this is about. this goes back to ram emmanuel's famous statement, never let a good crisis go to waste and i think that it's very clear that for the democrats this is the kind of first step in order to in a sense abolish the second amendment, so to me, you know when we look at constitutional rights the second amendment is not less important than the first amendment. it's not put second because it's secondary and so this is a kind of attack on our constitutional rights. its been brewing for a while and we should not allow the kind of stampede created by a single incident to allow us to buckle so republicans can pass sensible gun control regulation on their own if they want to. there's no reason to open the door to the democratic crusade against the second amendment. >> dean: so you're saying pretty much don't work with the democrats on that because they will come after your guns. nancy pelosi said it's a slippery slope and so

correspondence, carrie johnson. ron, go ahead.aller: my name is ron, i live i have a couple questions here. i've been watching this deal on with trump and it's been going on for how many i can hear or as understand, they have not found. they have got to spend thousand thousand of dollars on this. the clintons went to russia, clinton went over there and gave a speech, gave them half a million dollars for talking a minutes, i think he read things someone wrote down for him. clintons have been hooked up with the russians for years and news like no one in the media cares about this. why? care.n american and i i watch the news and i get very upset with it, just what i hear morning, about trump made a doneto a woman and what he wrong. this congressman or senator, this woman from florida here this stink about he called four people, only one, about it.aid anything host: okay, we'll pause you about ecause we'll talk what our guest can cover. guest: sure. with respect to ron's assertion investigators have found russia, i th refer to think w

. >> then, ron, we're having this discussion wherein less than an hour ago a funeral gets under way for a green beret, sergeant la david johnson, and the white house has had many opportunities to set the tenor and tone. in your view, you know, how will the history books document how this white house is handling this national tragedy? >> well, i think the first point is that this is an example of what rebecca was talking about, which is there was a share of the electorate that voted for trump despite roughly 20% of the electorate overall of his voters said he was not qualified, did not believe he was qualified. they gave him a try, because they wanted change, didn't like hillary clinton. i think this is the sort of episode that is re-enforcing those concerns and the reason why you see some of those voters more uncertain about him than they were on election day, but i think the larger point is that there is so much we don't know yet about this -- these deaths and this mission. and, you know, this is not benghazi, but certainly if you look at the president of how much time, effort, and money the republican congress spent trying t

johnson family, a new baby girl. we're looking forward to that and we will be there to support our hero's family. >> we have a lot to discuss. let's bring in ron brownstein. let's just start with the politics of all this. as you can hear congresswoman wilson was in no mood, it sounded like to me to take a conciliatory tone. she wasn't backing down in this sort of public spat that she's having with general kelly and with the president. she heard what she heard. she's interpreting it the in the way she thinks is right and so hard to know where we go from here. >> i agree and the president -- the president's ability to let things lie when they should has been pretty limited. he usually puts out fires with gasoline so where this goes in that sense is unclear. i do think there is one thing that she said that does point to where it may go which is the questions about what exactly happened. and the desire for more transparent answers on what exactly occurred i think is going to get louder. whatever else gold star families are owed by the president, by their government, they are owed a clear understanding of what happened to their loved one. i don't t

ron brown stein and ru tired army lieutenant general mark hurt ling. i want to put up the statement from the president that he posted on twitter after the heart-wrenching interview from myesha johnson, he said i had a very respectful conversation with the widow of sergeant la david johnson and spoke his name from the beginning without hesitation. here's the thing. that's not what she said. that's not how she feels this morning. that might be the most important thing. so what does the white house and what does the president get out of disputing this account now? >> look, once again, i will defer to general hertling on this, seems we are so deep into unchartered waters we can no longer see the shore to have a president actively in a conflict with a gold star family, again, i mean i do not believe this is publicly -- something we have seen before. it goes to kind of the dna, first of all, of this president, whoever criticizes him in any way no matter what their circumstance, he will fight back and attack the messenger rather than, you know, rather than the message. but this does go to -- and we've talked about this before, john and poppy -- the underlying ambivalence that has been the
