depression in terms of economic growth? it is astonishing. obama's best year was slower than bill clinton's worst year. now, that's astonishing. we just need to draw the contrast and say look, those of you who want to talk about russia, feel free. we want to talk about jobs, take-home pay, economic growth, because they are the key to america's future. >> yeah, that's why the communications and the messaging is so important, and that's where scaramucci comes in. he will make sure that's front and center in terms of the agenda and not the noise that are these hearings in terms of russia. why aren't there more hearings on tax reform? i mean there was a hearing on subcommittee out of the house ways and means committee last week did a hearing on simplicity, but how come we're seeing so many testimonies on russia and no testimonies on repeal and replace? no explanation on tax reform, on tax cuts? >> well, look, i think it is a mistake. i mean, i do think the ways and means committee has had a lot of hearings. one of the great problems republicans have is a passion for being boring. agai

saying is that barack obama needed black voters far more than black voters needed barack obama. and that's not a perm attack on the -- a personal attack on the former president. you could substitute in the name of any black politician, and the statement would still hold true. that's what i'm trying to get at in this book. it started out as a column, and it grew into a longer essay and then eventually the short book that was recently published. but my intention was the make a fairly simple point which is that political activity is not the most effective way of advancing a group economically. a racial or ethnic group's political success does not automatically lead to economic success. one does not flow naturally from the other. it's hardly an original observation, but i think it's an important one that is regularly ignored by civil rights leaders and black political leaders when practice identity politics. urging blacks to vote as a bloc, favoring candidates of their own racial or ethnic background and so forth. and i thought the end of the obama presidency was an especially good time

obama when it was really more about, you know, bringing america down a notch, as opposed to, as your previous guest talked about and you've talked about already, that polish speech which talked about the resurgence of western civilization and values and we also see someone that's taken a proper stance, a resolute stance that says that america will take a leadership role on the global stage and that's so important. this is an incredible bolster for our men and women in uniform as well. david: well, no wonder, also, that the europeans like at first, anyway, liked president obama so much better. they'd given him a nobel peace prize before he'd done anything because he was willing to give over so much of world leadership to the bureaucrats. let's face it, europe is controlled in large measure-- we have many bureaucrats here, but look at brussels, the center of the european parliament, europe is more controlled by bureaucrats than anyplace in the world. that's the kind of system that the president wanted us to emulate. >> yes, you have the control of the bureaucrats that have more progres

regretfully it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of obama care will not be successful. so in the coming days the senate will vote to take up the house bill with the first amendment in order the majority of the senate has already supported in 2015, and thafts vetoed bir then president obama. a repeal of obama care with a two-year delay to provide for a stable transition period.

of obama care will be unsuccessful. that should not mean we should give up. >> the definition of insanity is to do again what has failed sefrlt times before. >> you have to be able to resolve all these issues. >> it's not good news for the country, we have to move to the next steps. >> now that one party effort has largely failed. we hope they will change their tune. >> inaction is not an option. congress needs to step up. congress needs to do their job and congress needs to do their job now. >> take a look at this, when the drudge report calls this congress the most unproductive in 164 years, republicans know they are in trouble. as for president trump. he's oozing our word of the day too, except it's about his new plan of action. >> i think we're probably in that position we'll just let obama care fail. we're not going to own it, i'm going to tell you i'm not going to own it, the republicans are not going to own it. we'll let it fail, and then democrats will come to us and say, how do we fix it? how do we fix it? >> sarah huckabee sanders will have to explain why the white hous
