liz: so thomas roberts found this idea thoughtful enough that he brought it up twice. but what exactly is the president's provocation? >> it's an absurd -- i mean, talk about a way to look at the world. i would say we just finished eight years in which our commander-in-chief rolling over and playing dead to the radicals has actually brought about more attacks. it is absurd to think that somehow a tweet or the president actually being offensive forward offense rather than defensive is going to cause more attacks. in fact, they respond to sheepishness, they respond to appeasement. that's what brings about more attack. and secondly, imagine if they told ariana grande that her -- naming her concert the dangerous woman tour is actually what was offensive and that caused more terror. that's absurd. we're a free society, and we will push forward the equality of men and women and put aside political correctness as the president tweets because we will take the fight to them. liz: by the way, by this louisa hodge of thomas roberts, what did he is to provoke the attacks in london

listen to what one of architects of obamacare, jonathan gruber, told thomas roberts yesterday. >> theif you tell insurers they can't say no to people because they're sick, but you let people wait until they're sick to buy insurance, insurers will go out of business. and this is not some theoretical conjecture. five states tried this. five states tried this experiment. they tried telling insurers you can't discriminate against the sick without the mandate. in every single state, the insurance market collapsed. >> how does this effect premiums? >> so this is a serious problem that obamacare had one of its most unpopular provisions deal with, the individual mandate to buy insurance, which is that if people can buy insurance when they get sick, there's a good chance a lot of people deliberately go without insurance until they need it, and that means only people with expensive conditions maintain insurance at any given moment. that sends premiums flying throughout the roof. states that tried this before obamacare entered what was called a death spiral, where premiums kept going higher and
