please tune into fox news sunday this weekend for our exclusive interview with white house chief of staff reince priebus. check your local listings for airtime.hahahahahahahahahahahah. ♪ ♪ >> welcome to hannity it's been a very big week for donald trump. i'm eric bolling in for sean tonight. republicans helped. he took steps to protect religious freedom. he signed a new spending bill to keep the government's lights on and the unemployment rate has just dropped to the lowest level in 10 years. when it comes to the commander-in-chief's biggest one of the week though, healthcare. democrats are stooping to new lows to try and scare americans. take a look. >> well, people are going to lose their lives. people are going to lose their health coverage and these people think it's a party? they think it's something fun? >> you were talking about it
2:01 am
as some kind of a healthcare bill. it's not a healthcare bill. this is a massive tax break to the top 2%. >> you know it deepen saddened by its passage because it means, of course, millions of people are going to lose their health insurance. >> senator sanders earlier this afternoon you tweeted celebrated die billionaires get tax breaks. is that what you think here thousands of americans will die? >> absolutely. no question. this will cost american lives if it ever becomes law. this will -- this will mean death, pain and suffering to people's families. >> this crushing age tax will fall on some of the most vulnerable members of our society. >> let's put this bill in a coffin, not americans. >> let's kill and bury this bill. thank you. >> really a stupid bill. it's a stupid -- it's a bill of deacon destruction of government. >> eric: this bill has a long way to go before it reaches the president's desk. it looks like the democrats are just getting started.
2:02 am
joining us now with reaction is counselor to the president kellyanne conway. kellyanne conway, have you ever seen. literally just hours after the signing of the bill. we had five or six lawmakers saying people are going to die if you sign this bill. >> it's so disappointing and we have faith in the american people to know that's not true. the democrats lost everything not nailed to the ground in the last three of the four elections, eric, mainly because of obamacare. it's been a terrible political loser for them. 938 state legislative seats, governorships, control of the house. the senate, and now the white house. in part because of this issue. we know what all the horrors of obamacare have wrought. 29 million people opted out of it 6.9 million americans said they would rather pay the penalty and pay money than be part of obamacare it had premiums out of control. people had a health insurance card worst possible outcome didn't use it deductibles were unaffordable. what this does is the president has made clear and he leaned all the way into this. he worked the phones. he had the meetings. he was right there with the
2:03 am
house of represes done. and the vice president, he is telling people your premiums will go down. deductibles go down. extra money in there for americans with preexisting conditions. that's a feature with obamacare that's popular and retained here with extra money. >> eric: people were concerned with preexisting condition. that seemed to be solved with the $8 billion put into the bill. talk about reducing the cost and price not only for health insurance but healthcare? how does the bill do that. >> the bill does that several ways. there is more competition in the system. have you got more flexibility to the governors of medicaid because they have, you know, they are closer to the people in need. and they know what their population needs. having top down care from the federal government was never a good idea. it's what americans say is so intrusive and expansive. obamacare is the best example of a federal government that behaves that way. also, there is money here to help people meet their deductibles if they need it. there is $100 billion for people with preexisting
2:04 am
conditions. there is the extra $8 billion for people who have a preexisting condition and happen to live in a state that opts out. so that they want to be granted a waiver, you're still protected. that was a feature that was important to some of those fence sitting republicans. who came to the white house the day before the vote was taken. and so, it's just a much better free market patient centric system. it also allows you almost to double your contribution to health savings accounts, which is a free market solution, that allows to you have more control over your healthcare spending. lou people to pool together who don't have employer sponsored coverage like most of us do or government healthcare through medicare or medicaid or veterans benefits and allows them to get access to care. >> eric: i was one of the people out there pushing against the original paul ryan bill because it didn't seem to introduce any substantial competition to the insurance companies. so they can compete for our dollars. does this add that how does
2:05 am
this add it? >> we don't have competition now. just this week 94 of the 9 counties in the state of iowa, eric, don't have -- they have one provider now. etna is coming out of all of these exchanges. medica said just this week we had exhibit a of why this isn't workin work these are examples can't sell insurance over state lines. when does that provision get into this legislation? >> that's something very important to this president. he has talked about that all through the campaign, all through the transition and now as president it's important to him. the senate as you know will be writing a bill or they will take up the house bill, that's up to leader mcconnell and the senate. leader mcconnell and the president are in regular communication about healthcare. and everything else. the other thing is, let's not pretend and let's not forget because the democrats want people to forget and scare them how we got to this place. 41 states saw deductibles increase. average of 41% increase in people's premiums.
2:06 am
100 percent increase in some places. have you states and counties about a third of the counties in this country, all about five of the 99 counties in iowa that only have 1 provider. that's not choice. that's not competition. by the way where the hell were those democrats, excuse me, when veterans were dying waiting for care. i didn't see them coming on tv with hosts that just sat there listening to them and when there were veterans dying for care that deserved better. this president signed the veterans choice act. expanded it if you are a veteran that cannot get timely care at a v.a. can you access the private system. >> eric: you and i both live in the state of new jersey. new jersey started when obamacare came out with several providers. they are down to two now and by the end of this year. they will have one. the state of new jersey will have one provider and is that true problem with obamacare. >> that's the problem with obamacare. our united states senator was on a different network saying there is going to be pain and suffering and death. >> eric: that's corey booker. people say he wants to run for president in 2020.
2:07 am
you can't run for president scaring people. and going on tv where no hosts asks you to produce any kind of evidence whatsoever. that such death and destruction have going to befall people. they are running scared because there is no economic message for the democrats. they have no connective tissue with working class americans. this last election president trump proved that. >> eric: i don't want to be the talking heads on the other side who didn't ask but this. i really think it's very important to get that second phase ii portion of competition across state lines. >> very important to president trump. >> eric: if you are going to reduce the premiums for me it seems like the only way to do it. other than having government put more and more money into the system which i think the conservative doesn't want to have. >> remember, even though the democrats made this very partisan issue the president did not. you heard leader kevin mccarthy say the first time president trump called him he said don't give me a healthcare biffle that's good for the republican party. give me one that's good for the american people. he said the republican people came together we couldn't rely on any
2:08 am
democratic votes. we welcome them. rewelcome your help defeat isis. come on board democrats. he got zero. he wanted something that actually helps americans. we hear from people every single day suffering under obamacare and this is for them. >> eric: i don't have a lot of time. the freedom caucus somehow came on board. what was it that pushed them over the line? >> i think it was a better bill for them and it had more competition in it, less spending, perhaps, less, i should say, wasteful spending. but also, i think it's the personal relationships that the president was able to build with mark meadows the head of the house freedom caucus. head of the tuesday group also from new jersey. even people that aren't part of any of those groups where he kept saying how do we get to yes? he is the ultimate deal maker. he is the most brilliant communicator with people i have ever seen. that goes beyond the electorate. now it works with his own republican conference in the house. he was able to talk to them very patiently, very respectfully, invite them in, talk to them on the phone.
2:09 am
he and the vice president i think deserve the lion share of credit on that. >> eric: now has a bit of a tall order. he is going to have to do deal making on the senate side of the equation. >> he dual it. >> eric: kellyanne conway, we have to leave it right there. >> thank you, eric. >> eric: coming up right here on hannity. >> today house republicans voted to make american healthcare coverage much, much worse. >> eric: liberal mainstream media is teaming up with democrats to attack the republican healthcare bill. we will show you the worst examples of media bias you have ever seen. get reaction from dr. mark siegel, byron york and joe coverage that and later. >> one reporter ran into reince priebus who told her the president stepped up and helped punt the ball into the end zone. i think a more accurate football met for might have been g.o.p. just kicked america in the [bleep] >> eric: after trashing president trump earlier in the week. the fowl mouth colbert is at it again. michelle malkin is here to weigh in. that and much more as

2:16 am
reaction from "the washington examiner" and it fox news contributor byron george. fox news medical correspondent dr. marc siegel and from the hill joe concha. i didn't hear much push back by the mainstream media when some of those outrageous claims were being made. i was waiting on rachel maddow to push back but she didn't. >> i didn't hear one obamacare. when i lost the three evening newscasts last night and i watched them all in all of their packages they left out half the story. what's half the story? deductibles going through the roof. premiums going through the roof. insurance companies opting out. why is that important? because the narrative that became yesterday after this story -- after this bill -- the bill passed in the house was that obamacare is utopian, eric, that there weren't any cost problems. that insurance companies weren't on thing out. so when you present it against a healthcare bill that we don't know exactly what it's going to be
2:17 am
looking like you say it's horrible because it doesn't cover everything. that is the bias of admission. that's what it sounds like and more importantly, eric, that's what it smells like. >> eric: president obama, you saw him saying you can keep your doctor and insurance if you want to. that was a lie. what are we getting to here. >> a lot of people wanted to keep me and they couldn't. their plan just couldn't keep coming. here's where this is a step in the right direction. we're getting rid of the mandate, the individual mandate, which was basically a lie because health insurance doesn't necessarily mean you are going to get healthcare. you get to the doctor's office and i'm fighting to get you the care that i want you to get. the insurance company is turning it down. it's a false premise that insurance means care. it doesn't mean care all the time. can you overuse it all the time. come to see me when you don't need to. joe's point cover prices if we cover everybody with preexisting conditions the same way. why isn't anybody talking about that over on the democratic side? we have new technologies that are a fortune.
2:18 am
i'm very happy about them. the latest inventions. do you know what they cost? do you know what cancer treatments cost? $100,000 a year. if everybody is paying the same price to cover that premiums are going to go through the roof. so the new bill, with a waiver, creates an option that you could fund a high risk pool which somebody could go to. if they were in a gap they could go there and pay a higher premium which, by the way, the government could supplement. >> eric: let me bring byron in. i want you to weigh in on the media treatment of what's going on here. they were very, very anxious to jump on donald trump first round couldn't get the vote for healthcare bill. now all the sudden they are getting the votes and sumping on him again. hypocrisy, right? >> we are seeing one consistent threw thing through this from the coverage of obamacare when it was debated in 2009 and 2010 to today which is an amazing lack of skepticism on the part of a lot of the press. when president obama made those promises that you just
2:19 am
played, a number of them were reported as if they were simple facts. and today, when democrats say people will die because this bill has been passed, it's kind of reported as a fact when the cbo of the congressional budget office estimated the original house bill on obamacare that 24 million people would lose coverage. there was almost no talk about how the cbo had been dramatically wrong. grossly under estimating the number of people sign up for obamacare originally. when you talk about what these are going to do in the future have you to be skeptical. >> how about prepared? tuck t. struck me as a lot of those anchors didn't have the background. they didn't even understand what they were talking about at the time and they didn't push back and jumped for the cheap narrative, eric. that is the why. why did republicans want to repeal and replace obamacare? because of the points we made before about cost and about insurance and about it's going to implode
2:20 am
underneath its own weight. and they went to the cheap narrative instead which is republicans, white, middle age and we heard about the optic yesterday. white, want to get rid of this bill for bill support and they don't care about americans. that's the narrative that was pushed. >> eric: let me ask you, cochran, democrats are hoping that this bill drifsz up costs, again be on healthcare so they can come back and run on it in 2018. >> this bill was a step towards not driving up costs. it depends on what happens in the senate. because the reality is, again, this is a prefixed meal we have right now under olbermann. you may one twice no matter how are. 27-year-old who wants to buy a car can't buy a car because you have to pay an insurance premium. eric, did you know that 5% of americans generate 50% of the cost. 50% generate 50%. i want to take care of them, i'm a compassionate decision
2:21 am
physician, i don't want my 27-year-old starting out in life to be the ones shouldering the burden. >> my final thought and remember this bill hasn't even gone to the senate yet. i can't wait to see what they come bac>> we are about toe cycle all over again. the bill will go to the senate. i don't think the senate is going to start with a blank page. they will start with what was passed and try to make the changes they want to make. but the whole idea is just don't believe what they say. read the bill and make your own judgments about what's going to happen. >> always a great idea. read it your yourself. coming up next right here on hannity. >> one reporter ran into reince priebus who told her the president stepped up and helped punt the ball into the end zone. i think a more actual football met for the g.o.p. just kicked america in the [bleep] >> after coming ever under fire for cruel jokes stephen

i want them to keep showing america how hate filled and how vial and how filthy so much of their thinking about public discourse in america really is. they really should be thanking donald trump they are now all absorbing what's being called in the tv industry a so-called trump bump prior to stephen colbert sinking as low as he has gotten. his ratings were actually dwindling and i think that they are grasping committees prattly at these attacks because it's the only way i think that they can stay relevant. there was a time when late night comedy could appeal to a broad demographic of people in america. and whether it was stupid pet tricks or talking about doing pranks on your kids at halloween or the bread and butter of so much late night tv. having on fellow celebrities

2:32 am
insatiable appetite for getting the appear approbation of radical in hollywood and he is feeling it now and validation. i wish there was more backlash among decent liberals in between in america right now. i think it's interesting that you talk about the history of late night comedy and politics i think what's happened is that the left has gotten so desperate. because they realize how marginalized in america that we have gone far beyond bill clinton playing the saxophone with arsenio hall. even jimmy fallon came under attack in the campaign because he did have donald trump on. and what was his treating donald trump like a human being.

2:40 am
labor, women, i'm all for that the problem is that we when we lead with that, that's what people in middle america hear. it used to be the democrats were known as the working man's party. i think that got lost. and hillary clinton made it worse by concentrating on those identities that make up -- made up the democratic party. >> eric: think about this for a second. hillary clinton is a super resistance pac she's calls it sole purpose is to take down donald trump. one of the other leaders of the democratic party elizabeth warren has a new book out. i think it's number two or three on the "new york times" best seller list. specifically deals with taking down donald trump. you democrats seem to be foe focused on donald trump instead of developing a message that the american people want to hear. jobs, the economy, make my life better. >> yeah, but, listen, you know when you are a party out of power, you tonight make a message for a whole party without a president. of course we are out after donald trump. exactly what i'm doing. i wish hillary would take a
