team will continue their bid to win the 35th america's cup when they race in the final qualifying stages of this year's event next week in bermuda. natalie pirks has been behind the scenes to look at their preparation. sir ben ainslie is the most successful sailor in olympic history. but since the first race in 1851, no british team has ever won the america's cup. personally, i think everyone in this team it would be the biggest achievement if we could pull this off and win the america's cup for britain. it is 166 years to pursue a trophy that we made and challenged the world. and we have never won it. sometimes in life, there is a right time. this is the right time. this is the best chance britain has ever had at winning the america's cup. i think it is a very, very competitive sport. we have a lot of respect for each other. but we want nothing more than to kill each other on the water. it is as simple as that. if you are silly enough to wind him up to that level where he feels like his back is against the wall, he will respond and the only way he knows how, which is to win on th

change the health care system in america, the issue then came to the senate but didn't go through the regular order of business. it's my understanding and it has been reported widely in the press that senator mcconnell, the republican leader, assembled a group of 13 republican senators who are meeting in private over the last three weeks to discuss an alternative to the health care bill that passed in the house of representatives. there are no democrats in that room, none have been invited, and incidentally there are no women in that room from the republican side. 13 male senators meeting in private. and so to hear the suggestion from the republican leader that the real problem they're running into is that the democrats aren't helping, we weren't invited to this party. they are meeting privately to come up with something, and i don't know what it might be. but i've got an idea of how we can achieve a bipartisan real effort when it comes to health care in america. i would suggest that we create a committee in the united states senate. i have a name for it. the health, education, la

endless row of zeros behind them is a vision for america's future. i have always thought the budget in trying to set out what we wanted government to be and what we wanted america to be was very important. from the very first day in the house until the day that i left here in 2002 i have paid very close attention to the budget. what i would like to do today is to talk about where we are in the economy. why the economy is performing poorly and how we change it. i realized in trying to write this testimony that when you're talking about the performance of the economy during the obama presidency and you're talking about the reagan program and performance following the implementation of the reagan program that no matter how you want to be that we are all invested in those things. i want to try to not inject partisan ship into what i have to say. i would like to talk about what happened in these years and then the program that is gave rise to that performance and then look to the future. first of all, we have a lot of experience about america's economic performance. this is an extraordinary

what makes america great, the question at the heart of the debate of nationalism. good sunday morning, thanks for being with us. daniel krauthammer: thank you for having me. host: what is your premise? daniel krauthammer: i guess the premise is that what makes america great is not really what the president seems to have a the center of his rhetoric. for 240 years now we have had a very unique tradition in america . we are the only country that was built specifically and explicitly on political ideals and universal political ideals at that. that is really the core root of andidentity, and unlike more so than any country in the world, we are based on that rather than a purely tribal or blood link cultural, historical identity that most of the countries are based on. that has given us a unique identity and also a unique mission and unique sense of greatness. you look at our tradition has not been what is generally considered great in the nation, wealth, power, glory over others, but the ideals that we were founded on. about what theg president has put at the center of much of his rhetori

. the whole vital week, the plan and investing in those who will modernize america translates into good jobs and progress for america that congressman boyle has talked about. when we think of infrastructure, lots of people think about roads and bridges and we need attention to those across our country and so many of our nation. has a big sink hope hole. d many are in the poor and they estimate that the average ohio driver pays an extra $475 from driving on roads needing repair. i paid 500 for a front end for hitting a big pothole. let me urge president trump and the administration not to limit their thinking on an infrastructure bill. infrastructure should be about our roads and bridges for sure, but it should go far beyond that for modernizing the nation. i take very seriously america's responsibility to modernize the country for this new century. our energy grid desperately needs an update and power outages attest to that. our waterways need help and just n ohio, it will cost $12.2 billion over the next 20 years. as hard as it is to fathom and i'm sure the president hasn't read t

a pretty good down payment on the president's wish to keep america safe. when i see headline say that democrats when, that is an interesting perspective from their point. there are a lot of good things in this bill. if i had a chance to write it, i would've written it differently. once we get through it, we got to find out if this things leans more -- if this thing leans more conservative or liberal. i am not surprised to see headlines like that ndc -- in d.c. host: the phone lines are open. one more question on this budget deal. is this something the leaders and appropriators can negotiate this and see a revolt from rank-and-file members? do you think there's a chance it doesn't pass? guest: i certainly hope not. i haven't talked to a single member that absolutely loves the bill that we've got. we know that it is a compromise. i don't think anybody wants to shut down the government. we have some great things on the horizon. we need to keep focused on the fact that we have to honor our pledge to repeal and replace the affordable care act. it is having a profound effect on the thi
