( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show"! thank you so much for tune tuni.

our guest tonight producer of the hit show "power" 50 cent is here, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) i am so glad we could get 50 tonight because last night's senate republicans could not. >> overnight the plan to replace obamacare falling short. >> republican lawmakers vowed to overturn obamacare but this morning the latest plan has come to a stretching halt. >> trevor: no! trumpcare no more! now i have no idea how i'm going to die! i don't know why we're surprised. the words trump and care were never destined to be together. last night the senate plan collapsed and likely for republicans they had genius

mitch mcconnell in their corner. >> the senate plan b for trumpcare seemed dead, and plan c was barely introduced before slain as well. senate leader backing at mitch mcconnell's' proposal to ditch obamacare and going outsight to repeal without replacement. at least three republican senators say they will not support that option. >> trevor: all the senate ladies, all the senate ladies, not for the plan, no no no, no no no, no no no,. ♪ yeah! republicans have been saying forever that obamacare is going to fail. it's in a death spiral! but after years of them trying to kill it, it is somehow the only thing that's still around. all of their healthcare plans collapsed immediately. they're, like, obamacare is dead. check out our plan. oh, my god -- plan? ( laughter ) wake up, plan. wake up! oh, no, our plan won't wake up!

is there a-ok in the house? ( laughter ) if you're a republican, it actually reminds me of something a wise man said. >> no one knew healthcare could be so complicated. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: out of the mouth of babes. but the president was at least partly right because it's true. no one knew how complicated health care could be, once donald trump got involved because, i don't know if you remember, but before he stepped in, republicans had a strategy for destroying obamacare. >> the new strategy is gaining steam on capitol hill that would quickly repeal most of president obama's affordable care act but delay the effects for up to two years. >> trevor: that was the original plan. they'd take it apart but slowly over time. their plan was basically to

treat healthcare like jenga, gradually dismantle it piece by piece so when it finally collapsed, it would have been someone else's problem. then donald trump came along and he's, like, oh, boy! jenga bowling! >> on prodding of president trump, republicans decide not to repeal and worry about replace later but do it in one bucket. >> it will be repeal and replace. it will be essentially simultaneously. it will be various segments, you understand, but will most likely be on the same day and week, could be the same hour. we're going to do repeal and replace. in fact, it's just happening right now. it just happened. just think of it like this, donald trump is basically an unlikable baby boots. the plan is repeal and no

replace. he's, like, replace. no, no, no, donald. repeal -- replace. no, no! you're not listening. relegal -- repeal -- and replace! no! there is a reason the republicans suffered failure and that reason lives in the white house. while the g.o.p.'s health care dreams were crumbling, trump us with hosting a play party at the white house celebrating something called "made in america week" where the president checked out guitars, wrestled with baseball bats and his favorite activity fake driving a truck. ( laughter ) yeah, and everyone was, like, the fire is behind you in the white house! ( laughter ) it's not like the event was designed to get donald trump take up any other job -- a

baseball player? fireman? we'll give you anything. ( laughter ) at one point he got an an applae just for putting on a hat. ( applause ) yeah, yeah! i told you he would get something right eventually! yeah! that's where we are. and that's how the republican healthcare plan came and went. with them failing to get their votes and the president playing pretend in the white house. so the truth is for the republicans, it's not looking good. it's july, their healthcare plan is officially dead, they have no infrastructure bill, and they're months behind on tax reform. at some point, they have to admit that their world is burning down. fortunately for the republicans, they have a fireman on their team. we'll be right back. choo-choo!

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show"! even though this is made in america week, let's turn to something that wasn't made in america. donald trump's presidency ( laughter ) because the scandal over donald trump, jr.'s russian collusion meeting is not going away. in fact, it's getting a little more crowded. >> still more breaking news this morning. this time on the meeting between donald trump, jr. and that russian lawyer and a number of other folks.

>> cnn confirmed at least eight people were present. >> donald trump, jr., jared kushner in for a while, paul manafort, natalia veselnitskaya who was the russian attorney, rob goldstone, the promoter, the american lobbyist here in d.c. that leaves only one name to fill in the blank. >> trevor: how many people can fit into one of these rooms? i don't know if special councill robert mueller can bring these down, but the fire marshall could. can't have this many people in here! get out, get out. what is your name? what kind of name is that? a scrabble piece turned alive? what's that? ( laughter ) don, jr. has powerful allies. his father is actually president of the united states. yeah, i know, weird coincidence.

and don, sr. has his boy's back. >> my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer, not a government lawyer, but a russian lawyer. i do think this, i think from a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. it's called opposition research or even research into your opponent. >> trevor: you know, we always know when trump learns something new, he explains it to us like we didn't know. it's op -- opposition research, it's called. yeah, he always thinks he's a little smarter than everyone else. a lot of people don't know this, but that's where the deer cross, dear deer crossing. ( laughter ) and can we stop calling don, jr. a young man? by the time he goes into prison,

he will be in his 40s. maybe that's a scam to get him into juvy, he's a young man. ( laughter ) and the argument most people would have taken the meeting to collude with foreign power is basically locker room talk 2.0. everybody does that. who hasn't been in a locker room with their russian friends colluding about grabbing pussy? everybody does it! ( laughter ) i'm sorry, but everybody does sit a terrible excuse, and the proof it's terrible is that it was endorsed by falcons commentator janine pirro. >> someone ran for office five times, if the devil called me and said he wouldn't to set up a meeting to give me opposition on my opponent, i would be on the first train to he'll -- trolley to hell to get it. >> trevor: a trolley to hell?

i thought you could on the get there on spirit airlines! oh! ( laughter ) trolleys are whimsical things. they don't go through hell, they go through fairytale neighborhoods like mr. rogers neighborhood or san francisco. ( laughter ) can we pause and realize how creative this conversation has become? in 2017, a conservative commentator on the jesus white network is saying not only is working with satan an option, it's a no-brainer. straight-faced, i work with satan, yeah! meanwhile, satan is probably going, i wouldn't deal with you, you don't stick to your principles, i don't know who you guys are! ( laughter ) you can't say everyone does it because everyone doesn't. the example democratic and republican politicians are alike, of course they said they wouldn't have taken that meeting to get elicit information.

back in the 2000 presidential campaign, al gore received a shady package with a video of george w. bush's debate prep. instead of using it, he gave it to the f.b.i. and asked the f.b.i. to please repsych the tape when they were done with it because that's how he rolls. ( laughter ) that excuse for don, jr. is bull (bleep). don't worry, conservatives have more. >> taking a meeting because it was embarrassing, a bait and switch, nothing productive came from it, but was it illegal to take the meeting, absolutely not. >> i think the democrats are trying to criminalize winning and the only thing trump is guilty of is beating hillary. >> maybe russians were colluding with hillary clinton to get information on donald trump. >> i wonder why the secret service allowed these people in. the president has secret service protection at that point. >> trevor: wait, you're blaming the secret service for not protecting donald trump, jr.

from himself? that's not how it works. secret service are there to shield you from physical attacks, not your own bad decisions. if don, jr. is about to have unprotected sex with a stranger, the secret service just won't jump in front of him and say, no! don't! aaahhh! aaahhh! not how it works. not how it works. look. ( laughter ) s will no telling how badly don, jr. damaged his father's presidency with this meeting, but we're really seeing surprising consequences for ordinary americans, people asking hurt. in fact, we at "the daily show" have a new correspondent, named michael kosta, and he shared a personal heart-wrenching story with us. ♪ >> it's always been a burden my whole life, a shadow looming
