1:18 am
1:19 am
1:20 am
1:21 am
at the top of the program we told you about a new plan to replace obama care from wisconsin governor and republican presidential candidate scott walker. tonight we go in depth with the governor from st. paul, minnesota as he fights for traction in a gop contest that has been turned upside down by donald trump. governor, welcome. good to have you with us tonight. >> glad to be with you. thanks for having me on. >> all right. you have talked about starting baseline repealing obama care that is agenda item number one. it's been attempted many times on capitol hill. but you say as president walker you would have an executive order that would make sure that congress would not be exempt, would be fully under all the contours of obama care. do you think that would give them the needed motivation to repeal? how would that work? >> well, i think it would fight a fire underneath congress. president obama gave them an opt out from the provisions of what everybody else has had to live with under obama care. this would ultimately get rid of that. and force congress to live under
1:22 am
the same provisions as everybody else who lives under obama care. so this would executive action remove the actions president obama took on as part of this package. and i think there's a lot of great reformers. i've talked to paul ryan, congressman price, i've talked to senator lee and others out there who really are eager to push forward reform. just as it was in my state years ago when there were some republicans who didn't want to challenge the status quo. i think the same thing's true in the congress. this would actually force action early on in our term. so once and for all we could repeal obama care and replace it with something to put patients and families back in charge of their health care decisions. >> not surprising that the chief democratic rival on the other side of the ticket, former secretary of state hillary clinton, is opposed to your plan. she tweets this 16 million americans have gained health insurance from the affordable care act. we need to protect it not repeal it. there are young adults up to age
1:23 am
26 on their parents plan. how do you do it better? >> of course hillary clinton says this. she put in place the plan hillary care more than two decades before obama care. she would make it even worse for every problem america has with the so-called affordable care act driving up premiums, dumping people off their employer-sponsored plans. all the other problems we see out there. those are things that would only get worse under hillary clinton. remember how bad it was. we were told by the president himself if you like your health care plan, if you like your doctor you can keep that. that was politifact's lie of the year. we've seen people lose their benefits from employer-based system, seen premiums go through the roof. i'm here in minnesota talking to the speaker of the house here earlier. he talked about the huge increases people are experiencing in the state. it's been anything but affordable. we need to have a better plan that gives people -- gives patients and their families the freedom to make the choices them self. we have a way to help people get access to affordable and
1:24 am
accessible health care no. through a government mandate. that's a better plan than we're offering than people like hillary clinton are pushing. >> there's criticism coming from within your party. one of your fellow 2016 gop rivals, bobby jindal out of louisiana says this is setting up an entitlement and would give every single american human being from the time they're born to grow old and entitled to medicare a new entitlement. how do you respond? >> he must be looking at somebody else's plan. the bottom line is we provide tax credits to allow people to go out connection to their income. we apply tax credits out there so people can go out in the market themselves and buy health insurance if they don't have access through their employer. on top op that give people ability to save in health savings accounts. it would cut the tax increases, get rid of the mandate, put
1:25 am
power back in the hands of individual patients. for those who have families it would empower them and their families to make decision and really control their money and their health care decisions. this is something that's really about not just the market, more important lit individual patient. makes it better, more afforda e affordable, more accessible, more choice. that's why we call it the patient freedom plan. >> governor, you are used to facing down your opponents. it happened at the iowa state fair on the campaign trail. we want to play a little bit of this as it played out as you were speaking there earlier just days ago. >> we start by repealing obama care around putting patient and families back in charge of their health care going forward. [ cheers ] [ audience boos ] >> i am not intimidated by you, sir, or anyone else out there. i will fight for the american people over and over and over and over again! >> i feel like i saw a little bit of a smile on your face there, governor. do you welcome the critics, the
1:26 am
chance to engage with them? that's proved to be a big winning point for you in the past. >> well, it is. because i know 17 great candidates, people looking for who to get behind. a lot of people are good at talk. but talk is cheap. what people want is action. i think we've shown it. we took on 100,000 protesters. showed it again at the iowa state fair. i'm not intimidated by them or anybody else. i'm going to stand up and do what's right for the american people. i took on not just the big government union bosses and the liberal special interest groups from washington. first off i had to take on even some of the establishment in my own party. if that means taking on the establishment in washington to go up and not just repeal obama care but do all the other things the american people are demanding, i think now more than ever american voters want someone who can fight, who can win, who can get results and can do it without compromising our common sense conservative principles. if that's what you want of the next president i'm your candidate. >> quickly, governor, i want to ask you about immigration. something you would be the first to say you have evolved on some
1:27 am
of your ideas regarding immigration. you said this week your plan would be very similar to what we saw donald trump roll out earlier this week. let's talk about the issue of birthplace citizenship. do you favor in some way repealing or restricting that for those who are born here on u.s. soil regardless of their parentage? >> well, i've said -- what i said earlier this year on your very network, on fox news sunday with chris wallace, i said that i had listened to the american people. i'd seen how president obama had messed up the immigration system. i listened to governors, elected officials in the border state. in fact i do have a solid position and i've said the same thing every day since then. i believe it securing the border, enforcing the laws. i do not believe it amnesty. i do not believe in amnesty going forward. i believe in a little immigration system that gives priority to american working families and their wages in a way that will improve the american economy. in terms of that particular question or any of the others out there, we cannot address that. the american people should not trust any politician who talks about all the other things are
1:28 am
going to do if they cannot fundamentally show how are going to secure the border and enforce the laws in this country. that's what i'm going to do as president. and like i said, i'm not intimidated on this issue or any other issue from doing the right thing. the american people want us to secure the border and uphold the laws of land. no sanctuary cities. uphold all the laws of the land an not provide for amnesty. >> would any part of your plan include repealing the 14th amendment? >> from our standpoint going forward, until we address these issues, all the other questions i get about immigration really fall by the side. until we can show people that once and for all we can actually secure the border, put up a wall, have the technology, have the manpower, have the personnel to make sure that wall is secure, i just saw it earlier this year in israel. they've got a 500-mile fence that they put up. they've got the personnel and the technology to make sure that it's working. it worked there. we saw more than 90% reduction in terrorist-related acts once they did that. we need to do that for america.
1:29 am
our southern-based border is being penetrated every single day by drug cartels pushing drugs, fire arms, human trafficking. no sovereign nation should be in a position to let that happen. as president i'm going to secure the border once and for all and uphold the laws of the great united states of america. >> governor scott walker, thank you, sir, for your time. >> thank you. all right. what would you do if you had $1 million? believe it or not, some of you might live in government subsidized housing. the explanation next in the grapevine.
1:30 am
1:31 am
1:32 am
1:33 am
now fresh pickings from the political grapevine. you the taxpayer are subsidizing 1,000 families in government housing even though they exceed the income limits. while hundreds of thousands of low income families are stuck on the waiting list. some of the disturbing examples, a new york family with annual income of nearly half a million dollars lives in public housing and has been over the limit for five years. in the big apple alone, more than 300,000 families are on the
1:34 am
waiting list. in nebraska, a tenant has assets worth $1.6 million and lives in a subsidized apartment paying only $300 a month. the government only requires tenants to be under the income limit during the application process. there's no requirement to remove overincome families, a loophole the i.g. wants the government to close. another stunning inspector general report this, one for the v.a. a surprise inspection found a los angeles office was shredding mail from veterans that could affect their benefits. nine claims related documents were in the bin destined for shred including two from homeless asking for claims. the l.a. office could not provide documentation about what had been destroyed in the recent years. the i.g. has expanding the investigation to other offices to determine if the mishandling of mail is an isolated or systemic issue. finally uncle sam wantsout
1:35 am
public to tell is how you really feel. the government is soliciting your feedback on the web and mobile service yelp. "this allows agencies to go in and engage and dedicate customer service staff to monitoring the feedback." advertisements will be band. we could be a few weeks or months away from the introduction of a revolutionary new drug to treat an age-old problem. correspondent doug mcelway updates us on the approval process of what some are calling the female viagra. >> reporter: viagra became the widest prescribed pill in fa pharmaceuticals. >> i idea is not to make peeper hypersexual. not having sex in inappropriate places like go to their work and
1:36 am
say to my boss oh, my god you look so hot i want to take your clothes off. it's making people that are in stable, loving relationships have normal desires, normal fantasies, normal sexual thoughts. >> reporter: in the race for pharmaceutical equality in the bedroom women place second. women's sexuality is more complex than male, combining physical emotional and psychosexual performance. addyi didn't work in the 1990s. those origins trouble some critics. >> this drug has to be taken every single day, day in day out, in order to create changes in brain chemicals that are lasting. maybe 10 to 12% of the women who take the drug have a benefit. >> reporter: that low threshold of statistical effectiveness has led to another criticism that the drug is a triumph of marketing over science. >> this drug on average increases satisfying sexual
1:37 am
activity by one event per month, or at most. so that's not very effective at all. >> this is huge. for a long time there's been a disparity between male sexual help and female sexual hope. having the f.d.a. approve addyi will be a game changer. >> reporter: audie is expected to hit pharmacy shelves this october. >> doug, thank you. the obama administration's war on global warming is now targeting methane emissions from oil and gas production. the epa has announced a plan to cut emissions of the greenhouse gas by nearly half over the next decade. an oil industry spokeswoman says methane emissions from fracking are already declining because of improved drilling techniques. the dow snapped a three-day winning streak losing 34, the s&p 500 was off 5.5. nasdaq dropped 32. republican presidential candidates taking on the big issue. we're going to look at what they're saying about health care
1:38 am
and immigration. the panel joins us when we come back.
1:39 am
1:40 am
1:41 am
it's as simple as this. it starts out with the premise that on my very first day as president of the united states i will send legislation to the congress to once and for all repeal obama care entirely. >> hillary clinton reacting by tweet says 16 million americans have gained health insurance from the affordable care act. we need to protect it, not repeal it. let's bring in our panel to talk about this and much more. ron fornier of national jourl, laura ingram and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. good to see you today. ron, not sur pricing we got two competing plans today. no surprise within the gop field centered on repealing obama care. that brings along some questions
1:42 am
from it. the deficit impact based on ceo figures of nonpartisan office and others. >> i thought first of all republicans have had a great health care plan for years. the problem is barack obama co-opted it. then he got to washington and refused to work with republicans on it. then he mishandled the implementation of it. so now we can't even have a decent conversation about it. walker's plan was interesting to me because i think it had a little bit of obama care in it, which he's not going to want to hear. it also had a little bit of magical thinking anytime. when he talked about pre-existing conditions and networks and income redistribution, although he would do it by age, not by income, it would be income distribution. but he wouldn't say how much it would cost which ace big question. he also said that he would reduce costs by eliminating obama care's regulation and by encouraging real competition. i'll translate that for you. it means he doesn't have any idea how he's going to reduce costs. >> that's certainly not how he would characterize it as he was rolling it out today. lauren, not surprising he would
1:43 am
take heat from the left on this from within the gop louisiana governor bobby jindal called it an entitlement program. >> i confess i didn't quite understand governor jindal's criticism there. but i think what's interesting about this is, this followed governor walker coming out swinging day before yesterday against the gop leadership on the hill. and if people they talk to every day on the radio and people across the country have been frustrated with the pace of change and challenging the president on a whole host of issues, but obama care issue is still really important to people. people think it's faded because of immigration but it's still really important. so for him to come out and hit the gop leadership for not doing what it says it's going to do, and then to come out with a substantive plan, i think is good for him. i think he's going to say i don't have the pizzazz of some people on the west coast and on the east coast, but i'm going to get this done. he has some credibility on that. that was a good move for him. >> charles, marco rubio also
1:44 am
running for the nomination is outlining his plan as well. there are similarities. >> right. look, i think in both of them, particularly in the walker plan, the idea you take people who don't have the coverage through their employment and who today get no subsidies. what you do is you give them a tax credit for which to buy catastrophic insurance. and the smart element of this is that you index it to age. because that's how insurance companies determine how much you pay in a premium. what you'll get is essentially enough to give you a plan that will cover you for catastrophic, and then for the out of pocket stuff what you do is you revive and you expand health savings accounts which means it's money you put away. it's going to be huge. up to $12,000 for a family. so you're covering the huge cost if you have a real terrible accident or incident. you also have a way of covering tax-free your expenses for the
1:45 am
usual expenses in medicine. where you save. and it's not really magical, where you say this you don't have to have enormous subsidies from the federal government that you have in obama care because the federal government imposes all kinds of coverage mandates like contraception and other stuff that the government leaves up to you and your doctor. so i think it's a very good alternative and it is a criticism of the house and senate leadership that they haven't presented a plan like this, having been in the office now for about 8 or 9 months. it should have been on the table in january. >> and it adds to walker's argument even though he is a government guy that he's a washington outsider. let's talk about immigration as well getting so much heat the last couple of days. donald trump has rolled out his plan. and people within the gop field are being asked to take sides. they like it, they don't like it. i asked governor walker about how he feels about this birth right citizenship. laura, he didn't answer my question. >> no, he dodged a little bit
1:46 am
there. and the citizenship clause in the 14th amendment has not been litigated all the way up to the supreme court. however, richard posner who is not known as a conservative idealogue does not believe the constitution would have to be amenned because of the original understanding of what the citizenship clause applied to. without getting too wonky in the weeds here, it all depends on what the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" pertains to. and what it circumscribes. so it is interesting that trump kind of lay this is down as a marker. and that now everybody else is having to react to it. i would submit it would be a smart thing for someone believe it or not like a jeb bush to embrace or maybe even a scott walker. then it would look like he's taking a step toward enhancing credibility on enforcement. throw something to the conservatives on immigration and maybe then they would look at you in a different way or say maybe he is going to do something on enforcement and good deal. >> you can throw something but this is ridiculous. this is a symptom of the problem, it's not at all in the
1:47 am
relative scheme of things it is a tiny element of the problem. individuals in a population of 300 million. the problem is enforcement at the border. you want to reduce the number of illegals who come here and have kids. it is in the constitution. it has never once by any court been found to exclude the children of the illegal immigrants or other foreigners. >> not yet. >> not yet. it's been 140 years. that's a long time. >> 50,000 hispanics a month are becoming voting age. stripping citizenship from u.s. citizens is not something that i want my country to be doing. as republicans you got to be really careful about this. because i would sum this up in four words. president hillary rodham clinton if this actually becomes -- >> this is hyperbole. the idea that he said -- >> you want these votes you can't say we don't want you in our country. >> he said that he would go backward on this. i didn't hear trump say that.
1:48 am
i thought he was indicating that this would be moving forward. chris christie said he would re-examine this and others have as well. >> moving forward you'll be throwing out hispanics who were born here -- >> because no developed country has birth right citizenship like we do. >> america is special. >> we'll continue this during commercial. we'll continue during the commercial. up next, hillary clinton's latest attempt to get past the e-mail scan dal cal that's not going to go away. she goes head-to-head with our ed henry.
1:49 am
test
1:50 am
1:51 am
i did not send classified material and i did not receive any material that was marked or designated classified, which is the way you know whether something is, what you are
1:52 am
seeing now is a disagreement between agencies saying you know what they should have and the other saying no they shouldn't. that has nothing to do with me. >> no personal, no official wiped the whole thing. >> my personal emails are my personal business, right? so we we went through a painstaking process and turned over 55,000 pages of anything we thought could be work-related under the law that decision is made by the official. i was the official. >> all right. we are back with our panel you see ed henry there pressing the former secretary on this. charles, she wouldn't answer the question that he had which is did you wipe the server clean? he we never got an answer on that. >> no. we never will from her. we will learn from b. it from the fbi investigators if political pressure is not on them and they are able to do their jobs. this is the stonewall continued. it worked for her husband.
1:53 am
she thinks it will work for her. i doubt it. >> laura, she said something this isn't about me. the fbi has her serve you now and now today catherine herridge reporting that they feel confident they are going to be able to redeem some material. >> recreate what happened with the eracing that might have taken place at her hands or at her direction. short of having her on videotape actually pressing the as you said ron control alt delete, they will never admit. this when she was lashing out again this is another attempt to smear me, the whole vast right conspiracy. that's not true. these are legitimate questions. this is clinton style they are not going to answer them. >> in that sentence six deceptions, or lies. six. unless the fbi is unable to uncover those email and see what's in it, she will never be able to restore her credibility. >> we have seen her say this
1:54 am
before nobody is asking me about this. you can see video of her throwing he up her hands like you guys are the only ones hammering me on this. only the media asking me about this. it's not the people that i'm talking toened a meeting. there she is throwing up her hands and turn around and say again you guys are the only ones asking me about this. >> i'm waiting for her to say, at this point, what difference does it make? which is her standard answer. it enters the realm of farce. the answer to a punch line of a joke, the answer to it is, in a closet in a bathroom, in a lot ofy den room. and the question is where are the highest secrets of the state department kept? well, that's actually what's happened. it really is in the realm of farce and she is not going to be able to stone call because it's out of her hands and that's why they are so scared. once she loses control, and she is all about control, there is nothing she can do
1:55 am
but stone call. >> look for her to throw john kerry's state department under the bus, too. the clintons love to shift blame. it was up to them to figure out what was kosher and what wasn't kosher. i think you are going to see movement in that direction as well. >> if i am working for her or worked for her i'm worried about my legal fees. >> under the bus. >> in front of the bus and paying for it. >> what do you think about her making a joke about snap chat? >> i was appalled by it you know what? i'm just a reporter. if i work for the fbi or if i'm the prosecutor who petraeus and now i'm the prosecutor who is looking into her, same person by the way. >> she thinks she is going to get off, that there won't be any -- >> -- no, i think she is playing the 1990s clinton handbook she thinks that's how she deflects. what she real doesn't realize this is not a joke and the prosecutors don't think it's a joke. >> stay tuned to see donald trump the remix.
