are we talking health care or nancy pelosi? all right. we are going to keep an eye on nancy pelosi. we are going to phil mattingly on capitol hill. run, don't walk to your computer, phil because the republicans posted the bill online, 142 pages. what do we know? >> reporter: 142 pages. the bcra. the key elements, we know a good deal about. it repeals the obamacare taxes with the exception of the cadillac tax. it appeals some mandates, key elements we knew were going to be in there. the details like medicaid, whether the expansion goes away as quickly as the house version did. the answer is no. it goes more slowly. that is something they wanted to have in the bill. on the tax credit side, a lot of criticism from the president himself that the subsidies were not generous enough. that's largely backed up by analysts that show it would be difficult for lower income individuals to be able to finance their ability to pay for health care. this bill tries to address that changing the way the tax credit would be applied here, going by income instead of age entirely, trying to make it less fl

nancy pelosi and crying chuck. sounds like a band. rob: coming up, california is banning some from taking trips to texas. heather: barack obama calling the senate health bill a massive transfer of wealth to the richest people in america. what happened to pass presidents staying out of paulison -- partisan politics? how do we say that this summer, if guests book direct at choicehotels.com and stay twice they'll get a $50 gift card? summertime. badda book. badda boom. got you a shirt! ...i kept the receipt... book now at choicehotels.com but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each

what is the tweets story say about nancy pelosi? >> this is typical nancy pelosi using sensationalized rhetoric to get her point across to steer people into supporting her. that's the best thing to do, right? people are going to die unless you support nancy pelosi but that's what she's doing and i used to be a social media strategist and from pr standpoint this is not good messaging. what they are doing by saying why are we bashing our fearless leader you are reminding people that she should be fast. you are reminding that everyone has a negative perception of her. if i were them i would try to come out with some kind of positive message. liz: nearly five dozen democrats have balked at nancy pelosi's leadership so what does this tell you? >> they are coming to an end i think. she also says she is worth the trouble. what makes you worth the trouble is certainly not winning because in president trump swords i think nancy pelosi should just stay exactly where she is doing exactly what she is doing good republicans -- liz: president tru

saying he was nancy pelosi in a cowboy hat. again, whether that's fair to not, she is part of the damaged brands of the democratic party. helpful to have a change. that's not what we're dealing with here in the people's house project. ist we're trying to do really focus on local communities and the types of candidates that will be able to appeal there and have the deep connection. when somebody does run an ad saying they're nancy pelosi in a cowboy hat or in boots or whatever, there won't be at the do of credibility behind that. and susan, that's not who they are. they're in touch with our community. they're not part of this distant elite. means when i it try to tie a candidate to nancy pelosi. the: you talk about some of representatives backing you. who is backing you in terms of support and funding? guest: we're still early days. i don't want to release numbers names. i got congressman tim ryan from us.gstown behind my congressman in kentucky and a number of others. excited about the support we're getting. host: krystal ball

election on tuesday. >> we already have nancy pelosi is our congresswoman. you are going to give us john allsop is our congressman. it's because she may remain a centerpiece for as long as she is in power. president trump tweeted... one of pelosi's predecessors says she could be valuable to republicans for the rest of her tenure as the highest ranking democrat in congress. >> we would love to have the question in 2018, nancy pelosi versus paul ryan. i hope the democrats keep her right where she is for a long, long time. at least a decade. >> the democrats have lost more than 1,000 offices to since 20. things would be different if there was an obvious successor. but there is not. john. >> john: thank you for that, peter. these are record-setting times in mexico. not in a good way. the country's internal fight over the illegal drug trade has led to huge increase in bloodshed. william la jeunesse looks at the numbers and what they mean. >> elected in 2012, president and wreak a pain in promised to bring peace to mexico. instead, violence is worse than ever. it'

some are pointing the finger at leader nancy pelosi. they believe it's time she step aside. >> nancy pelosi was a great speaker, she is a great leader, but her time has come and gone. yes, she's a great fund-raiser, but if the money we're raising through her leadership is not helping us win elections, then we have to have this difficult conversation now. >> let's bring in california congressman democrat eric swalwell, co-chair of the party's steering and policy committee. congressman swalwell, always good to see you. thanks for being with me. >> thanks for having me back. >> you were appointed to that committee by congresswoman pelosi, what's your reaction from what you just heard by congresswoman rice? >> it's time for all of us to step up. no one needs to step aside. step up and fight for the health care of the people we represent, for job opportunities and for dreams that parents have for their kids. that's what we need to do right now and not be distracted by anything else. >> so you fully support leader pelosi? >> yes, and i suppor

nancy pelosi is the face of that. charles: you know, ned, i can remember during the election and all these different surveys they had and the things they thought millennials cared about and there is such a data focus, they pay money to these people who turn out these $200,000 reports and say this is what they think. they don't go out and meet people and press the flesh and have conversations with someone in a diner. ned: they have forgotten the human element. most americans want to know are you going to give us jobs, are you going to give us paychecks and will we be able to put food on the table and pay our mort gauges. it's a simple solution what the american working class wants. quite frankly, i think donald trump will probably win a second term. i think he can be successful if he accomplishes healthcare reform and tax reform. this is what the american people want. charles: you wrote an article about france and the message there. i thought it was parallel to here. >> the amazing thing is in france, that has been des

, nancy pelosi at the top. the man who ran against pelosi for minority leader this year, tim ryan said, our brand is worse than trump. that is one way for him to put it, to try to get some of those on the left on board. is it time for her to go? is it time for democrats to come up with a message not just, we don't like donald trump? that is not working. ford o'connell, is back with me. jose, why does she keep doing this? she has grandchildren. she is clearly not the future of the party. at this is increasingly a liability, i just ask why isn't she out there looking for fresh faces, new blood, that she can effectively pass the man tell on towards and helping to cultivate democrats that can fill her shoes? >> let me just start talking about the special elections really quickly, trish. georgia, for example, was election, georgia 6 was supposed election won by republicans it was. it was supposed to be won by 20, 25 points. trish: jose, we already had this conversation yesterday. this is quick news cycle. i only hav

we are talking nancy pelosi's path forward next. liberty mutual stood with us when a fire destroyed the living room. we were able to replace everything in it. liberty did what? liberty mutual paid to replace all of our property that was damaged. and we didn't have to touch our savings. yeah, our insurance won't do that. well, there goes my boat. you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. over hereno!ver here!

they want a vote as soon as possible -- here's nancy pelosi again. we're about to hear from senators. democrats say if you go home and have town halls, we're going to make this case -- >> the president called the house bill mean after celebrating its passage. he changed to saying it's mean. he said that he hopes the senate bill will have heart. so sad, mr. president. heartless. mean and heartless. and this is the same thing. it's the same thing all over again. we'll do exactly what the house bill did. >> there's been criticism of the process. mitch mcconnell knew he would take the criticism. his view was if you have committee hearings on this, the lobbyists get involved, democrats get involved, people try to shoot it down, now he's trying to do this essentially in a week period. have a few amendments, cut the deal to get to 50, and get it passed so you don't have a recess where you go home for a couple of weeks and do that. >> that's if you're a senator going back home and talking to constituents, hearing from constituents, and you imagine that -- >>

pelosi -- nancy cordes. thank you. we are waiting to hear from nancy pelosi. the police officers, thick e-think about them for just a second. here you are at a baseball diamond, clearly a soft target. they're not even on alert. i'm curious to hear what they were doing when the shots rang out. >> they have to be on alert at all times -- >> i don't know jeff, we're there watching steve scalise, it's different if you are an officer and this is a dangerous situation, i think you have a different kind of stance about you. are you looking around, are you scanning the crowd? i don't think that's the case at 6:30 to 7:30 this morning. >> it is a target much softer than one would think other targets would be. it is 7:09 a.m. >> paul ryan prepared to talk to members of congress who are anxious to hear as much as they can and understand the implications of what happened this morning in alexandria, virginia. following him is nancy pelosi. she is the former speaker of the house, now a ranking minority member. >> there's

there have been some good people. >> when you mention tim ryan's name and i'll say this nancy pelosi she was a trailblazer, she's the first female speaker. that said tim ryan, is that the kind of voter that you need to sway to win states like ohio again if you're a democrat. >> if you're a democrat you want to make sure that you turn out folks that are in what they call the rising american electorate. you want to turn out younger voters, genxers, millennials, people of color, yes, some working class voters, white as well. so, latinos. so, you're going to want to have somebody who looks a lot like where america is going -- >> we're running out of time. i want to give michael a chance to give a final word. 20 seconds before we get out of here. i didn't want to interrupt you because that was a gun point but i want to give michael a chance. >> tim ryan may or may not be the answer. what were do know is continuing with the same veteran leadership is not going to give the democrats what they need going forward. >> you said it right there. atima, we appreciate you being here. we appreciate

that's the answer. >> nancy pelosi, good morning. you do want to respond? >> i'm here and we're hearing from all these other people. they had their time on tv. this is such a small item. it isn't about me. right now the chak is the affordable care act. i always had a look right from the start. >> let's look too. you've been losing special elections and four of them and it's because they say your democratic leader has no leader. your message is anti-trump. >> no. let me say these are four races that were chosen by donald trump, four races where double-digit lead for republicans in previous elections. we picked up 70 points. 25 in one race, 15, 20 like that in the four races. people in those states are very happy because we've pushed the republicans very far back. me, i like to win. but h was -- i -- the people in georgia worked very hard, in m, all of those places. they made great progress. >> they lost. >> they lost, but, again, there are 70 races that are easier forus than any of those. we would have never chosen to go in. there was so much excitement in t

keep in mind nancy pelosi is not a youngster. one wonders whether, in fact, her best days are behind her. i do think there's probably time for the democrats to seriously entertain the idea of different leadership. stuart, but lawrence jones, you said you do not expect nancy pelosi to step aside or be forced out anytime soon. >> yeah, there's just no way. she has too much connection in the house. she holds it together. she has all the money. now, will they continue to push her to get out of leadership? yes. i don't think they can do it right now. maybe a year or so if they don't win back the house. maybe then. stuart: but who leads? if nancy pelosi does not lead in the house, who does? >> fill vacuum. stuart: and what wing of the party will be represented if there is a change in the leadership? is it the bernie sanders wing, the socialist wing, or is it the tim ryan finish. >> i don't think you can get any farther left. i think we're there. we're dealing -- [laughter] stuart: oh. >> i think you can go even further to the left. [la

it hit me when you are talk about nancy pelosi. she might have been talking to her own people, telling them not to read it so would pass. a lot of us interpreted that, no one's reading it, just pass it. that may be one of the ways that democrats avoid dissension within their party. if you're not reading it, then you can't fight about it. >> david: this is a discussion draft. they made a big deal out of this, but what is a discussion do question market opens up the table. by the way, the president has asked democrats repeatedly from the campaign trail to now to come to the table, let's try to solve the problems. if the cbc want me with the president over their own reasons and democrats won't recognize his presidency, how do you expect to work with democrats? >> meghan: i'm curious from a political spectator to see all president trump is going to take his twitter account against rand paul and people that aren't going to vote on this bill. he threatened to go to the primaries were people who did and congress. >> sandra: to reiterate,

. >> ossoff with nancy pelosi. >> democratic leader nancy pelosi takes heat for the loss in georgia. >> we clearly need to have the right method and the right messengers. >> can democrats win in 2018 with the republican's favorite spoil the ill at the hem. >>> pulling back the curtain on the republican health care bill. i'll talk to senators from both sides of the aisle, including one republican, who might actually know what's in the bill. this is mtb daily. a -- mtp daily and it starts right now. and good evening, i'm chuck todd in washington. welcome to "mtp daily" one political party is banking in the rays of victory the other is feeling burned. the democrats feel the notch of the needed sixth district yesterday. republican karen handel topped john ossoff by four points and last this race by three points. i kept warning you, don't be shocked if that one slips under the radar. georgia is the race that really stings with the democrats. with millions of dollars to spend. it could not be a candidate in a highly educated district where donald trump stumbled in december. it wasn't trump

pelosi. >>> and apparently, it worked that led some democrats and the call for nancy pelosi to step down. he joins me now along with congresswoman debbie dangle. congressman ryan, you have not been shy at all this week of what's happening of post election there. if nancy pelosi were not leader and you were a leader, do you think jon ossoff would win. >> this is not about me. i spoke out and i gotten everything i needed to say. i think it would be whathard fo to say that after $5 million tieing that candidate to her that did not have some effect. republicans would not be use thg if it did not have some effect. so it is still being used for a reason. i think that's a discussion that we need to have. now with the healthcare coming down the pipe now and everything that's going on, we need to stay united as democrats especially this week because of the travesty that happens to a lot of our constituents. we need to have a family discussion. i don't need to lead it because i have been clear. if others want to have this discussion, i am happy to have it. i am curious of your reaction of you

keep her jo job. >> do think nancy pelosi is more toxic than donald trump? >> you know what? the honest answer is, in some areas of the country, yes, she is. >> nancy pelosi is a great speaker. she is a great leader. her time has come and gone. yes, she's a great fundraiser but if the money we are raising through her leadership is not helping us win collections, we have to have this difficult conversation now. >> dana: michael moore echoed that sentiment, tweeting out... as for ms. pelosi herself, she is brushing off the criticism and is as confident as ever. >> do you want me to sing my praises? i am a master legislator. i am a strategic politically astute leader. my leadership is recognized by many around the country and that is why i am able to attract the support that i do. which is essential to our election, sad to say. >> dana: today, president trump tweeted he does not want pelosi out. he says i certainly hope the democrats don't force nancy out. that would be very bad for the republican party. and please, let crying chuck stay. this is around the bel

but one of the few things in the party that works well is nancy pelosi. her job is to raise money and keep the democrats together in the house. and she's been doing that. i don't think she is the problem with the party. there is about a thousand problems. i wouldn't put her on the list. >> what's the problem. >> listen, of course. we talked about the krietsds in message and leadership is not about one person. >> exactly. >> she is doing -- technically on the books even by nina standard she is doing her job well. but there are a bunch of other jobs not being done well. i think there is actually a consultant class of people who are incompetent, tone deaf, who make ha ton of money, who are in the way. and so then as long as they're there -- as long as you have the blanket over the party sucking up money be giving bad idea attention, putting up huge operations around computing that kind of stuff still can't tell you where to go what to do that's a bigger problem. with the regard to your question about the obama years. i think the party got very happy and very

that works well is nancy pelosi. her job is to raise money and keep the democrats together in the house and she's been doing that. i don't think she's the problem with the party. i wouldn't put her even on the list. >> what's the problem? >> everything that bacari just talked about is not just about one person. she's actually -- on the books she's actually doing her job well but there are a bunch of other jobs not being done well and i think there's a consultant class of people who are incompetent, tone deaf who make a ton of money, who are in the way and as long as they're there, giving bad ideas and still can't tell you where to go and what to do, that's a much bigger problem and so with regard to your question around the obama years, i think that the party got very happy and very lazy having such an extraordinary figure at the top and did not pay attention to the thousand plus people who lost their positions throughout the country and that is a problem. we have to turn our attention to now. but to me it is bazar t

joining me now is tim ryan, of course, he publicly challenged nancy pelosi for the role of nancy pelosi. >> thanks for coming on. >> thanks chuck. >> i know you have been talking to a lot of people today. you just got out of this meeting. cedric richmond is in that meeting. he said something interesting. well, i think what we need is just an internal family conversation and i think we need to have that. it was reminded, did that happen in november, no, i am not sure that happened. do you believe your challenge which was i think designed to start this conversation actually did not work when it comes to starting that conversation? >> well in some sense it did not work. some reforms and most of them internal with vice chairs and communication teams and all of that we have internally in our caucus. it is june now and we don't have a cohesive message that's penetrating in these districts and the only way to win is a strong economic message. i think that we came up short because we did not have that full conversation that's mind boggling to me that it is june and some of our leaders are sayin

if nancy pelosi wasn't leader. if you were leader do you think john osop would be a member of congress today? >> let me first say i don't want to be leader. this is not about me. i don't want to run against nancy pelosi. i did that in november. i spoke my piece. i got everything out i needed to say but it would be hard for us to say that after $5 million being spent tying that candidate to her that it didn't have some effect and republicans wouldn't still be using this if it didn't have some effect and so it's still being used for a reason and i think that's a discussion that we need to have. now with the health care coming down the pike now and everything that's going on we need to stay united as democrats especially this week because of the travesty that would happen to a lot of our constituents but we need to have a family discussion. i don't need to lead it because i have been pretty clear but if others want to have that discussion, i'm happy to have it. >> debbie dingell, you have seen this a lot over the year

but nancy pelosi is vowing to stay in power. that makes bill, very, very happy. >> bill: they get a participation trophy for the elections they lost. at least i get to participate. see what you want about the republicans health care plan, the travel ban, upcoming tax issues. these are policies, at least. what did the democrats put forward as policies other than let's look into russia obstruction by trump? no policies out there, no plans, no proposals. and this as a bankrupt party. i find it very interesting that a few of the democrats are now speaking out in public about this. lot of interviews with four, five democrats saying about the change. one editorial suggestion, isn't it redundant to say president trump, if it is an interview, it is on fox. that's where the president talks pretty good for fox. >> trish: in so many ways, she really represents a certain kind of elitism in the united states. of the san francisco elite kind of reputation and frankly i think the democrats need to fight back against. in other words, this is pa

nancy pelosi, she is. karen handel ran against the course but also ran against nancy pelosi. what does nancy pelosi represent. the establishment of the democrat party which is the problem on the left and what they are grappling with when it comes to the candidates they are trying to run. they are really going to have to figure out what issues they will run on. and campaign heavily against the g.o.p. healthcare bill. if you look at the money we have been talking about here, we break it down by vote, it's about $to 0 -- $200 per vote which is more than jeb bush spent in the primary. in terms of money, money doesn't always buy you love. yet, they won't sink this much money in every house race. they will have to come up with the better candidates. >> bret: a democrat tweeted ossoff race better be a wakeup call for the democrats. business as usual isn't working. time to stop rehashing 2016 and talk about the future. we need a genuinely new message, a serious jobs plan that reaches all americans and a bigger tent, not a smaller one. focus on the future." that's to your point, anna.

nancy is on capitol hill. from paul ryan and democratic leader nancy pelosi. we'll join nancy on capitol hill with that part of the story. >> reporter: i can tell you that members of congress reacted with applause when they learned the baseball game will goen tomorrow as skej -- go on tomorrow as scheduled. one congressman from california said the congressional baseball game is on. we will play for charity but also for the victims and heroic officers who took down the shooter. there were many members who felt it was symbolically important that this game take place as planned. so that members of congress could show they were not daunted by this act of violent and so they could show their respects for the people who were injured. now we are awaiting paul ryan to speak on the house floor but in the meantime bernie sanders is speaking on the senate floor. let's take a listen. >> congressional staff and the capitol police officers who full recovery. i also want to thank the capitol police for their huroric actions to prevent further harm. thank you. >> reporter: so

nancy pelosi is actually a fantastic leader. she's the one got the bill through house of representatives and made sure it would happen. for democrats to throw nancy pelosi overboard would not be the smartest move. i will say also though a little more tim ryan messaging would help the democrats. in the earlier segment we did with mr. bryce from wisconsin kind of lays into that. we have to have more talk about the economy and more talk about things that unite us as a democratic party and hold the flag on things like immigration, equality, criminal justice reform. >> and the thing is, michelle, republicans are adaptable, learn about the politics piece. governing part, eh, the politics part they're good at. donald trump has picked up the ball. michael, give him credit, he started this idea. you tag her, she's the leader, boss of the democratic party, she's the face. here's donald trump picking up the ball, taunting democrats with it in a way of talking to republicans. >> i hope she doesn't step down. i think it would be a sad day fo

nancy pelosi, she is. karen handel ran against the course but also ran against nancy pelosi. what does nancy pelosi represent. the establishment of the democrat party which is the problem on the left and what they are grappling with when it comes to the candidates they are trying to run. they are really going to have to figure out what issues they will run on. and campaign heavily against the g.o.p. healthcare bill. if you look at the money we have been talking about here, we break it down by vote, it's about $to 0 -- $200 per vote which is more than jeb bush spent in the primary. in terms of money, money doesn't always buy you love. yet, they won't sink this much money in every house race. they will have to come up with the better candidates. >> bret: a democrat tweeted ossoff race better be a wakeup call for the democrats. business as usual isn't working. time to stop rehashing 2016 and talk about the future. we need a genuinely new message, a serious jobs plan that reaches all americans and a bigger tent, not a smaller one. focus on the future." that's to your point, anna.

neil: that is nancy pelosi too, right? if other members feel she is not representing them, past her prime, that can be cruel, took place do it when they fire head coaches or companies, when they get rid of ceos, it happens all the time, why hasn't it happened here? >> i think taking stock who is in charge is never a bad idea, but the bottom line, looking at one month of fund-raising doesn't paint the whole picture. democrats brought in record numbers since the election. more importantly, the progressive grassroots groups on the ground have been bringing in a ton of money for the local races that they're helping all across the country. neil: but my point is, money is one thing, but you have to deliver the goods, right? >> sure. it goes back to who we're running in 2018, and i think leader pelosi sees that. she knows we need to put up inspiring candidates with a bold economic vision and that will turned tide. neil: that is what she is hoping. she has been able to pull out a victory when she is up against the wall. maybe stil

at least nancy pelosi knows how to raise money. who else is going to step up? who's going to make phone calls and get the money? they don't know how to spend the money that they got. they are doing it in all the wrong ways. theyey turned it into a referenm for president trump instead of making it a grass roots. they were making it a nationwide thing in district six instead of getting right there in the front and back yards of the people they were talking to. >> dana: can we get greg in? >> juan: karen handel never mentioned trump once. >> dana: that's why the republicans were smart. and he stayed away from her as well. he didn't complain about it. >> juan: you don't hear anyone saying get rid of trump. his numbers are like, 35%-40%. they both are not popular. >> dana: let's get greg in. it's not just one person that's a problem. >> greg: it doesn't matter if nancy pelosi stays or if she's going.r it's the party. michael moore is dead right. enthe big difference between trp and the democratic party is with trump, there is promise. "i'm going to help you, here is

i asked her about nancy pelosi. here's congresswoman dingell's response. >> we've become this identity politics -- the women's caucus, the black caucus, the hispanic caucus. we've lost sense of we, that our strength comes in community and that community of all of us and sometimes i don't feel like i belong in any of the little different caucuses but i am a proud democrat who was sent here to represent the working men and women of my district and that's what i'm supposed to be a voice for. >> so this big tent that you helped create. this 50-state strategy that gave us -- it's the party of black people and brown people and gays and -- has that come at the expense, perhaps, of a cohesive message on jobs and trade? >> well, i don't think there's a cohesive message on jobs and trade and all that and there needs to be one. i think this is mostly washington hand wringing about people who don't get outside of the beltway very much. the truth is we do need a unified economic message that is about everybody. i don't want to c

it's easy to target nancy pelosi. that was the people not just targeting her but anyone else who was going to join them. it's easy to target her. if you take her away, who comes in that has the tactical experience to kaep a caucus that, frankly, is a frayed caucus together? you had a big split during the presidential election, hillary clinton people, the bernie people. somebody has to hold that together. >> doing some of the same tensions internally that the republicans went through, do you want to be a national party, coastal party? it's a tough one. >>> up next, sudden snag in bipartisan effort to slap sanctions on russia. racehorse who ever lived? of course he was strong... ...intelligent. ...explosive. but the true secret to his perfection... was a heart, twice the size of an average horse. the average family's new, but old, home: it stood up to 2 rookies, 3 terrible two's, and a one-coat wonder named "grams". it survived multiple personalities, 3 staycations, and 1 tiny announcement. behr. number one rated interi

>> well, i am a -- nancy pelosi and i are good friends. nancy pelosi is a great leader. nancy pelosi is someone who has my support, without question. >> democratic senator ed markey from the commonwealth of massachusetts, always a pleasure to have you, sir. apprecia appreciate. >> absolutely. >>> turning to the economy. your road trip got cheaper. june gas prices falling to the lowest level in 12 years and just in time for summer. here to tell us why. what's going on? >> tied to falling crude prices. look at this dramatic chart, it is down about 20% year to date. look at that, john. you're talking $42 a barrel. that is quite dramatic. and, of course, this is all tied to the fact that there's just too much oil, not enough demand. simple supply-demand economics but great news for the consumer, because the consumer is saving at the pump to your point. we're looking at $2.28 per gallon across. that's a nationwide average, obviously. depends where you live. that's down 10 cents this month alone. this is incredible savings for an average family, and one analyst put this in ver

it does nancy pelosi have to worry about a clinton insurrection if you will? >> i do think she has to worry about a clinton insurrection, but the same thing keeping nancy pelosi afloat is what would keep chelsea clinton, which is basically '90s nostalgia, democrats are unable to look forward to new leaders and new people and instead are relying on the same people. the average age of the house democratic leadership is something like 77. obviously chelsea clinton is a lot younger but she has a representative the past. >> leland: appreciate your time, great reporting, we will talk to you soon. >> julie: of former military contractor facing judge. the latest from the courtroom. and a new report on vladimir putin meddling in the presidential election. what we are learning today and how it could impact the russian embassy. i didn't know where i was from ethnically. so we sent that sample off to ancestry. my ancestry dna results are that i am 26% nigerian. i am just trying to learn as much as i can about my culture. i put the gele on my head and i looked into the mir

nancy pelosi under fire. the president weighing in on all that as well. >> i will say this, they are right now obstructionists. all they want to do is try and obstruct. i would think they would do much better as a party if they got along with us. if they called us, let's work on health care together, tax cuts together and tax reform. let's work on infrastructure together. we can do it together. i honestly would think they would do better at the polls. i think the american public is tired of obstructionists, and i honestly believe that. steve: you know what? i think he is absolutely he right on that. people are sick of it. they want to see something get done. as i reported earlier, i was watching tv during the day yesterday. i saw a young reporter by the name of peter somebody -- ed: good guy. >> he was reporting apparently there are eight and 10 democrat senators who are willing to sit down with republicans to see about fixing this. not necessarily they would vote for them but they would try to fix it. ed: he

nancy pelosi under fire down playing this week's special elections. take a listen. >> by all accounts, if you're a republican, this is not good news for you, it shows where the as a rule washington -- vulnerability is on the republican side. david: joining me dan henninger, bill mcgurn and mary kissel and dan freeman. i love nancy pelosi, maybe you can have one victory but four in a row, that's kind of hard to take. >> yeah, the old saying goes, four more victories like this and we are undone. [laughter] >> why is nancy pelosi a savvy politician saying such ridiculous things and i think the reason is because she has nothing else to offer. what they have been doing in all of these elections is teeing it up on referendum on donald trump and since the election, the democrats whether in washington or anywhere else have been running solely against donald j. trump. what we discovered in georgia, that's not working. the democrats have to come up with something else and at the moment it is well known, they don't have much of anything else in terms of substanc

democrats force out nancy pelosi? the panel weighs in. and is a black college professor at an elite connecticut college calling for white genocide? that and the college's response. as obamacare continues its heartless death spiral, those who hoped a liberty-rich solution would spring up in its place will be disappointed by the senate version. it's called the better care reconciliation act of 2017. the changes between this and the aca are nominal at best. the individual and employer man days are gone, but medicaid continues its expansion for three years, giving republicans cover. healthcare shouldn't function as a political umbrella. it's basically a hunk of moderate meat thrown to senators like susan collins and lisa murkowski. it puts their collective longing for a below thed state more in line with teddy kennedy. there are still federal subsidies disguised as tax credits. and which elements they can opt out of so there will be more to reconcile. children under 26 are still covered by their parents plan. as if your bad college loan choic

in fairness i would say nancy pelosi herself is not the problem. if you look at how they played her in the election, it was san francisco values. so the problem i think the democrats have is twofold. on the one hand is very liberal values that are not the values of most america. america is a center-right country. so it doesn't play outside san francisco. second, what is the strategy? resistance. it is just not a persuasive thing. i do not think there is anyone, while maybe jon ossoff but he doesn't live in the 60 districts. >> if there is -- if you take donald trump and hillary clinton and nancy pelosi out of the equation democrats lost a thousand seats. that is not because the republicans are geniuses. people say what you're offering doesn't - >> is also the attack on the brand of donald trump. i thought it was a winning thing even though the trump name has made billions of dollars for their family over the years. it was part of the reason he was elected. but now some democrats are having second thoughts about beating up on the brand itself. democ

we'll nancy pelosi continue to be the top democrat. joining us now, kristen now, chris didn't take enough for government gone wild. the democrats have a leadership team that is essentially unchanged back in 2006. the top two leaders in their late 70s and they've lost by special elections. three in a row. with a c+ to stay on? >> that's kind of the problem. nancy pelosi has done little to energize or mobilize the base and she's failed to pay the solutions based for the board. she's all about negative rhetoric. i think the democratic party has a much bigger problem than just nancy pelosi. they don't seem to have a unified, can instant message from a unifying principles and i don't see exciting emerging leaders on their side. 2018 is going to be an ugly election year. cheryl: the last time the dems were able to get meaningful traction with rahm emanuel. not the far left candidates. i wonder if that is the strategy going forward. >> yeah, we will see what they do. i cannot think of many exciting people on their side they can bring together

normal people don't seem to care for nancy pelosi. after their party's shocking defeat in tuesday's race in georgia, several prominent democrats conceded it might be time to find an actual message, maybe even a new leader in congress, one who doesn't embody the attitudes of the richest zip code in san francisco. >> you think nancy pelosi is more toxic than donald trump? >> you know what? the honest answer is in some areas of the country, yes she has. >> it's clear i think across the board of the democratic party, we need new leadership. it's time for a new generation of leadership in the party. >> nancy pelosi was a great speaker. she is great leader. but her time is come and gone. i believe that she is not the leader for the future of the democratic party. >> tucker: nonsense says nancy pelosi, she describes herself as a remarkably impressive leader, despite half a decade of uninterrupted defeats. >> you want me to sing my braces, is that what i'm saying? i'm a master legislator. i'm a politically astute leader. the leadership is rec

if nancy pelosi wasn't leader. if you were leader do you think john osop would be a member of congress today. >> i don't want to be leader. this is not about me. i don't want to run against nancy pelosi. i did that in november. i spoke my piece. i got everything out i needed to say but it would be hard for us to say that after $5 million being spent tying that candidate to her that it didn't have some effect and republicans wouldn't still be using this if it didn't have some effect and so it's still being used for a reason and i think that's a discussion that we need to have. now with the health care coming down the pike now and everything that's going on we need to stay united as democrats especially this week because of the travesty that would happen to a lot of our constituents but we need to have a family discussion. i don't need to lead it because have been clear but if others want to have that discussion i have to have it. >> you have seen a lot of this over here. you've seen from the outside frrks the inside

do you feel that nancy pelosi's run is over or should end? >> i think that nancy pelosi has been one of the great democrats over time, but yes, at the end of the day, the only thing on measures the success or failure of a party is whether or not you win elections, and that is just not happening. we lost 1100 elections since obama came to power. that is just unacceptable. but i also want to clear the air really quick a little bit about what actually happened at the dnc because i think that this morning they provided a lot of contacts about what it is like to work on capitol hill. an incredibly offensive phone call that the congressman received. i think that what happened was at the dnc, according to what i have heard, the fbi called, and he said listen, we hear that somebody might be hacking -- that the russians might be hacking your server, and the person who answered the phone was like okay, right, because we've gone crazy phone calls like that every single day. so it's not just the dnc -- >> bill: that changes the story. >> writes, we did n
