old only you see when barack obama was elected in two thousand and eight he wanted tom daschle to be the director of health and human services and he was going to do health care daschle was the former senate democratic leader daschle had written a book on health care in america he was going to be the guy that was going to bring us the public option and what happened well dash will didn't disclose the use of a personal car given to him by a democratic donor named leo hindery and what did the pit bulls on talk radio one america do they forced obama to deep six tom daschle he never made it to the senate floor to have an opportunity to have a confirmation. hearing so now let's fast forward to the real time in the story right now the guy who has no regard for your tax dollars is this a serious error in judgment oh i would say so is it a disregard of the taxpayers' money i would say so should he resign the same way dashiell did i would think so if this guy has no respect at all for your tax dollars how in the hell is he going to respect your health care and i think that's a very fair quest

i'm totally honest and i say this as someone who washed tom daschle, who didn't even make it through the confirmation process because he did not report reputed income from a guy who lent him his driver. that was enough to knock him out. i watched the tom price hearings and i thought, this does not look great in terms of the judgment. whether he did something wrong or not, the judgment that is being exhibited by this individual. the other thing here, matt, is just the amount of in and out of that administration at this point. price, scaramucci, bannon, gorka, comey, flynn, priebus, spicer, shiller, dubke -- there's andressian unbelievable amount of turnover in eight months. >> no question. trump administration has been chaotic, particularly the first four or five months. i think the original mistake was seth up competing power centers inside the white house. that was not sustainable. i think now they are in a better place with a empowered, respected military, experienced chief of staff in general john kelly. that said, you have a homeland security position that's been open for some ti

president obama lost tom daschle, slowed down obamacare. got it eventually but slowed it down. it's devastating to a key part of the policy going foreand ought to have been made clear, don't use military transport, private planes, don't charter. should have been done. >> i worked there for a time. no one chartering a jet when aye was there. i need to say that. >> and curious. go to, a viewpoint about, what the vacancy means and the idea that -- how it canceled things down in -- booked. working with what they wanted to do with health care? >> i think, look, tom price had an agenda to sabotage the aca. be clear about that, and doing a pretty good job trying to sabotage the aca. my perspective, a little happy that gets slowed down for a while but i think,s had jose doesn't ha hhs doesn't have many people there as it is. any of theirs turmoil makes the president's agenda harder. stepping back, people didn't know seems ridiculous to me. end of the day, the president had people scream at the top of their lungs, drain the swamp, in response to him, and the idea that people -- his cabi

. >> tom daschle on speed dial. but, you know, the reality is that there aren't a lot of issues where he's actually going to be able to do this. at least given where he's positioned right now. may be able to try do to it on tax. for instance, you hear noise ouch the white house they'll not cut taxes on wealthy people and not get rid of the estate tax. hard to see at the end of the day how that sits with the congressional republicans. >> i agree, however, susan, that's a case where the president's instinct of, like i don't know. maybe the wealthily have to may more -- >> right. >> where his supporters are on the poll, by the way. they are more there. conventional republicans are not. they are wanting the -- it is interesting. his constituency has a different view on taxes. >> if you could get a deal involving immigration and one on taxes and one on infrastructure, strikes me at muscular policy. the triang gooization example with clinton is interesting. clinton triangulated until he faced an impeachment debate and he

doesn't fly and as we talked about last night on the news is that there's a precedent here yeah tom daschle never even got to confirmation here. when barack obama was hired because he didn't fill out the application form properly and the republicans just went nuts on it so this is the right call for the administration it also gives the republicans to do a real vetting process as is telling the president ok this is who we really need next to head this up now that we're over three on health care was going to step in to fill the seat for the moment well right now it's going to be donald j. wright who comes from texas he was a clinician down there for seven years he is a doctor and he is of course was the assistant deputy director of health and human services so this is obviously for probably organization purposes a good move a quick move by the president and we'll have to figure out what he wants to do i'm sure he'll take him put from congress well i think he's just going to be there to keep the seat warm for right now so we got to wait and think all right thank you for that add salt flats add
