9:00 am
>> jon: we are back in an hour, "outnumbered" starts now. >> julie: see you then. >> fox news alert, the push to repeal obamacare is in the senate right now. it could face an uphill battle, paul ryan defending their efforts on health care, calling it a rescue mission. you are watching "outnumbered," i am harris faulkner, meghan mccain, host on kennedy, deputy state department spokesperson under president obama, and today's #oneluckyguy, judicial analyst, smiling face, judge andrew napolitano, he is here, outnumber, and he is happy. >> is a pleasure to be here, thank you. >> we have a lot sitting right into what you do today. we are going to get some free
9:01 am
legal device. let's get to the news. the white house hers touting their health care bill as a move to the senate, some republicans vowed to start from scratch. speaker of the house paul ryan says that obamacare is collapsing, that the house bill is about lawmakers their promises. watch. >> this is a rescue mission to make sure that we can achieve the goals that we all want. that is getting the cost of coverage down and making sure that everybody has access to a portal for health care, especially and including people with pre-existing conditions. that is what the bill does. >> mike emanuel joins us now live from capitol hill. hello. >> top white house officials have been out in force trying to talk about health care reform in this country, trying to reassure the american people. and they insist that president trump will take care of people who have pre-existing conditions. >> nobody wants folks who have a pre-existing illness or injury not to be covered.
9:02 am
we want to make certain that we can do it at a lower price and broader choices for patients so that again they are able to see the doctor that they want to see, they are able to go to the hospital that they want to go to. >> obamacare give you insurance, but not health care. a lot of folks that were technically insured, they could not afford the premiums or the co-pay, that is what we have been driving at. giving people the care that they want, the quality that they need. the affordability that they deserve. >> senate majority mitch mcconnell has a health care working group made up of leadership. moderates coming and conservatives all seeing if they can come up with consensus among republicans about the future of health care in this country. senators are talking about coming up with a whole new fresh approach, but not clear of democrats play a role. >> i would hope so. it is really important. obamacare premiums continue to climb. insurers keep pulling out of markets. i would love to have some cooperation from the democratic party, but so far they have not
9:03 am
cooperated at all. because it is important. whether it is so blue state or red state, the insurance markets are escalating and cost, sometimes imploding. so we would like to get it done this year. if the other side decides not to help, it makes it harder. >> i just want to work, sit down, get something done. nobody has asked us. i understand we have 13 republican senators working on revamping the bill. the congressional delegation said, don't worry, the senate will fix it, nobody has asked any democrat. >> top house republicans are saying that they have no problem with this and it writes its own bill, they can go to conference if the senate passes something and work out the differences. when you have senators talking about starting from scratch, that suggest that this is going to be a time-consuming endeavor. >> absolutely, thank you very much. starting from scratch, not what we want to do with most of the recipes in our household with kids. we like to have a mix. >> the reason this started in the house was because the supreme court categorized obamacare as a tax.
9:04 am
and the constitution requires that all tax bills originate in the house rather than in the senate. >> is that a good thing? for this particular -- >> i don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing, because the senate is going to write its own bill. but both of the bills, the one that the house passed, and the one that the senate probably will pass, in my view it has an unconstitutional premise. that is the view that somehow it is the power of the federal government to micromanage health care, and the obligation of the federal government to make sure that everybody has health care. >> it has become a right. >> and the ability to acquire health care, all of those three premises were in obamacare, and they are in the house bill. they will probably be in the senate bill. >> so the way that some republicans are reacting to this on the senate side, kennedy, if this was nothing likable in the particular bill, are they right or wrong? >> it is interesting, without the chasm was between from certain members of the
9:05 am
republican party within the house. but we are going to see quite a divide between the two houses. between the house and senate, and the senate has been watching the process. they feel like there is so much that the house has gone wrong, particularly failing to secure the votes for the passage. in the first place. so now they look at this, they see that it is deeply, deeply problematic. nobody wants ownership of the bill, and for them that is a mandate to go back and scrap it. unfortunately, for those of us who are on the side of liberty and the free market, it does not appear that they are going to be scrapping it and allowing the free market to really get its hands on health care. >> that is interesting. because what we had been told by some of the republican party was once we get to phase two, you will see that across state market. >> that's supposed to be stage three. >> we have to get through pays 21st. right, okay? so i want to ask again about
9:06 am
what if anything this got through right, because the president was excited about the fact that he was able to get past the hump. >> it was very uncomfortable on friday with the rose garden media blitz that happen, because i think i confused people that may be don't know that much about the government that this was locked and loaded, done. it was a giant success, and i am very superstitious when it comes to things politically related. it reminded me of george george w. bush banner behind him. >> that's a great comparison. >> the thing that is happening in congress is going to happen in the senate, adding the extra benefit of democratic hysteria. it's far from over. i was deeply disappointed when i did not go through the first time in congress, but i still have a lot of concern that it is not going to happen. >> i usually have a democratic question for you, but i want you to turn your head around a neutral reality today. >> you her to pretend she is dead republican? >> just not be a democrat for a
9:07 am
second. because i think it is interesting to seeing what you have amongst democrats right now. do some more conservative democrats who might be on board with some of what is being talked about potentially in the senate bill. gets politics are going to hold them back. we saw something similar with the freedom caucus members, they got over it, moved on. now we are seeing the moderates are among republicans in the senate too. what advice would you give republicans at this point? >> the senate is going to take some time. you heard joe mansion say that if people reached out to us, he is one of the moderate democrats. if people from the republican side reached out to senators coming he would help get a better bill in the senate. what is so interesting to me is that countless experts have come out and said this bill is going to drive up costs and mean less coverage for the elderly, poor, people with pre-existing conditions. it seems like the house republicans in the trump administration are betting that all of the experts are wrong.
9:08 am
they are saying, just trust us. because the question is right, how much should government due on health care? the republican house has kicked that down the road because they see the politics. now that people have the coverage, hard to take something away. but it seems like the trump administration is betting that all of the experts are wrong. that all of the dire predictions -- >> just like nancy pelosi did with the original obamacare. that was the big structural mistake that you would think republicans would learn from. it's that sort of opacity, not only bad for the legislation itself -- >> it is bad for average americans. and i hate to turn to this, but politically heading into 2018, this is tough. >> a year and a half away, we are already talking about it. >> i could not agree with maria moore, she will not like this word, but one of the more insidious things that obamacare did was spread throughout the land, all across the government that the idea that it is government's right to micromanage and government's
9:09 am
duty to make health care affordable. neither of those is in the constitution. neither of those has been endorsed by the supreme court. those are political reality is, once you give a class of people a benefit from the government, it is almost impossible to take that benefit back without catastrophic political consequences. >> it is an invasive weed that is designed to fail. it designed to fail to put us on the road to single-payer pay. >> one thing that the obama administration did was that they tied it to another agency with the irs. what republicans have tried to do, especially paul ryan and his plan, we saw with rand paul as well, take it away from the ira, maybe put it back in the hands of the insurance companies. difficult to take it away from the people, difficult to take it away from the governmental agency, it will be hard. i want to lay this out and then get your response to it. the president is now adding extra pressure, as if the senators did not feel enough. republican senators will let the american people down, he said in
9:10 am
a tweet. obamacare premiums and deductibles are way up, it was a lie, it is dead. that's what kennedy was saying. >> can i interject really quick? a really interesting piece where she is talking about her experience with obamacare, she is a person that democrats say do not exist. her premiums are at $3000. in this piece that she wrote, and for everyone to google it. but she is talking about how it is expected at $3000 a month from the perspective of democrats for somebody like her, affordable. she has two young children, also a widow. i do not speak for her, it is an incredible piece. a lot of stories where we are talking about 2018, republicans have to start putting stories like this, the huge failures of obamacare with people like mary catherine. because there are hundreds of thousands, if not more stories like this. bye for some reason the media focuses on only the stories of people that will be benefited. >> but here's a question whether
9:11 am
the president can get something out of the senate as quickly as he could out of the house, but the answer is no. the senate is smaller, insurance and claimed to resist, the republicans only have a two vote majority. i don't think that which mcconnell has control the senate the way that paul ryan dated for a while over the house. >> really quickly before we move on, i want to talk about the six, seven members that are moderates and republicans, you have the one who does not like the medicaid portion coming out ted cruz, rand paul who just want to see a complete repeal, let's start from scratch. your thoughts. >> that will force the senate to cobble together a compromise that will either be rejected by the house moderates or the freedom caucus, the same clinic small government people in the house. i expect it will be compromised by that group, then we are back to square one. so the white house, the republican leaders doing this just super misleading bragging rights?
9:12 am
or because they really do think that they can make health care less expensive by taking the government out of it? >> if this does not work, for some reason that fails, that photo ops is going to be branded on the trump administration for the entire term. >> you can bet that the town hall meetings has started this weekend, we have fox report on it, they are going to be fiery hot, republicans and democrats will get an earful. president trump's travel ban is back in the court, what we can expect when an appeals court picks up the president's revised order for the first time. how likely is it that this ends before the u.s. supreme court? cracking down on sanctuary cities. the state that became the first to ban them. yes, a bill on the table for that. the governor-like state. while others follow suit? ♪ ♪ the sun'll come out tomorrow... ♪ for people with heart failure, tomorrow is not a given.

9:17 am
calling it unconstitutional based on remarks that the president made during the campaign. today's hearing is the first of two appeals being heard this month. the three-judge panel on the ninth circuit appeal will hear several claims from the case out of hawaii. i'm so glad that you are here, you told me during the break that you or break this down for me. please explain. >> we have two judges, one in maryland, one in hawaii, each received a complaint that the revised travel ban was unconstitutional. the one in maryland held the unconstitutional, the one that bans refugees, the one in hawaii held the whole thing unconstitutional. the justice department appealed both of these decisions. one of them will be argued this afternoon, the maryland court is being appealed to the federal appeals court sitting in richmond, virginia. usually it goes to a panel of three judges. this court decided that every judge on the courts will hear it. this saves the step of going from three judges to the full court.
9:18 am
that whole argument is fair, there will be broadcast live at 2:30 eastern this afternoon. anybody who knows how to find its can listen to it. a week from today, the panel of three judges in the ninth circuit court of appeals all of whom were appointed by president bill clinton will be hearing the appeal from the hawaii judge. if these two courts agree whether they say yes or no, what happens to these cases? they go back to the trial courts for the trials. there have been no trials. just preliminary decisions made by judges based upon documents and oral argument from lawyers, that is a prediction as to how the case will end up. but a real case requires trials and testimony and challenging the testimony. >> how long can they take? are we talking like oj time? >> that is a great question. if the two appeals courts disagree, one upholds the band, one stops the band, the supreme court will be forced to
9:19 am
get involved, because when the courts disagree, you cannot have federal law meaning different things in different parts of the country. >> is and that what the president once, the travel ban's going to the supreme court? >> yes, but not to trial. if these two trials are held in maryland and hawaii, the results are repealed, and to the supreme court, i don't know that it gets the supreme court to during donald trump's term in office. that's how long the process will take. >> i have been reading that you still have some obama appointees along that r far as the judges are concerned. so that starts to complicate things for the president. let's say that it does get to the u.s. supreme court, you have a new member with neil gorsuch. i don't know what we know about his past or the configuration of the courts, how do you think the travel ban would do? >> i do not know the answer. i read during the proceedings, a lot of milk or sisters worth, his opinion on euthanasia, not an opinion on immigration.
9:20 am
it did not affect his court, so i do not know which way he will go. >> what about the judge in hawaii who took such burns with some of president trump's campaign language? >> that is a great question. if the judge in maryland and hawaii did not challenge his use of authority under a statute. they challenge his motivation. both of them said, i'm going to use their phrase. this is a muslim man. it is not based on national security, based on religion. if that is true, if the courts uphold that. that raises the bar so high that it will be nearly impossible for the government to jump over it. in order to come to the characterization, they did not say anything that donald trump said as president trump, he took it as canada and trump, something i have never seen the courts due to a president before. >> everybody says it is trump being trumped, turns out it has consequences. he sees it now.
9:21 am
>> it is unfair to them, i think to impose the words of candidate trump, whoever it might be on president trump, because you say things in the fire of the campaign, you don't necessarily mean. >> that is very different and policy order. >> i know what president obama did for six months in 2011 by putting a slow down on certain visas, also had 6 of 7 countries, he heads have been the second executive order dealing with six muslim countries, why does that not get talked about? >> i do not know the answer to that. i will tell you that judges are trained to resolve disputes. this is good law. this is bad law. under the narrowest of issues, not the broadest. once they find that it is bad law, they are going to stop their analysis. >> i could watch a live feed about your talking about the subject all day long. i love it. >> what are we doing at 2:30? listening to the oral argument. >> we have to move on. another great topic, texas has
9:22 am
become the first state banning sanctuary cities. governor greg abbott signed a bill yesterday that allows local officials to inquire about the immigration status of anyone they did attain, threatens sheriffs and police chiefs with removal from office if they do not work with the federal immigration authorities. here is governor's fee 15 earlier today. >> what is is going to do is allow cooperation between enforcement and officials so that we ensure that everybody is going to be following the law. now think about this, isn't this insane that we have to pass a law to force law enforcement officers to comply with the law? >> critics argue that the law will make communities less safe. >> when people are afraid to call 911, when they are afraid to cooperate and tell us what they have seen because they themselves are worried that their papers are not going to be in order, it makes our job exponentially tougher. that makes everyone less safe. when passing this law, i believe
9:23 am
that texas republicans have put politics over public safely. >> judge coming you are a man of the law, what do you make of this? >> a sanctuary city is not a term of art and the law, but it means a city that does the following. they are releasing somebody from jail because they observe their jail time, letting somebody out of the courthouse because there trial is over, and to the feds say, would you hold that person until we get there because we are pretty sure that they are an undocumented alien? when the cities do that, it's cost money, cost jail time, cost food, cost of the overtime of guards. when they do it on their own, they are not a sanctuary city. when they say that we are not going to spend this money, you can house them, they are a sanctuary city. so the statute does three thing things. it says that texas law enforcement when the feds come knocking, you will hold these people add to your expense until the feds get there. can the texas legislature do
9:24 am
that to texas law enforcement? of course it can. there are parts of texas law enforcement which are popularly elected, not some into the legislation. can they do this to elected sheriffs? that is a surgeon for the texas courts to decide. the third part says to all law enforcement, whenever you stop anybody for anything, bank robbery, jaywalking, you can ask them their immigration status. the same statute which arizona enacted five years ago. that is the same argument that texas judge that we just saw. if people are afraid to report a crime or use law enforcement per fear that they will be deported as a result of that crime would be more prevalent. >> can i ask you a quick question, what about applying federalism to the immigration policy and allowing different states to have perhaps a different threshold? >> that is the beauty of reagan statement when he said you ought to be able to vote with your
9:25 am
feet. if you do not like the law in texas, moved to oklahoma. moved to new jersey. you cannot do that with federal law. it is supposed to mean the same thing everywhere. but you can do it with the level of state cooperation with the feds. where is here in new york, zero cooperation between the states in the feds, in texas it's going to be closer to 99%. >> one is really important, the fact that there are no sanctuary cities as designated as such in the state of texas. we call them sanctuary cities, but whenever we get the information, they come back as jurisdictions that follow as such. those three things that you said. >> sanctuary cities is a phrase that we in the media use, it is not a legal phrase. >> it is a catchall, austin has already begun to set precedent by saying, we don't want to do these things. to spend our own money at a retention request. >> she is going to say to
9:26 am
governor greg abbott. i've known them for a long time. he is a great guy. i understand his heart. but she is going to say to them coming you want us to spend money to house hetero prisoners? you reimburse us. if that might be a way to cushion the blow. this is an issue of china and possibly elected holders figure out how to spend their tax dollars. >> indeed they should. urging lawmakers to put it aside and show courage by saving the affordable care act, will's comments have an impact after mr. obama famously refused to negotiate with republicans in office. we debate next. ♪ you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children. we're the williams family, and we're usaa members for life.
