12:04 pm
cannot. because the supreme court today says he does not have the constitutional authority, they are going to basically say, keep going forward, implementing this plan or lease planning to implement this plan. we just heard this from the press secretary, sean spicer and a briefing that was audio only. the reason i was not on digital card, because he wants president trump to be the only one at the white house who is on the evening newscasts tonight. here is a sean spicer, audio only, talking travel ban. >> with respect to the supreme court decision on the executive order, the president was honored by a 9-0 decision that allows an important tool to protect our nation homeland. his opponent demanding your there today he mentioned a 9-0 decision. even though they did not release a breakdown about all nine justices siding with this rulin

12:06 pm
new policy could take effect. the analyst say the gold there is to try to get healthy people to buy coverage, and then keep them from dropping it. they say it also helps insurance companies pay for sicker customers who are more expensive to cover. before g.o.p. leaders added this penalty, five senators came out against the plan. republicans cannot afford to lose more than two kobolds. democrats have ripped the bill. former president, obama, says there is a meanness to it, and no trump says he is the word mean to describe the bill that the house republicans had last night. >> mean. that was my turn. i went to see -- and i speak from the heart. that's what i want to see. i want to see a bill with hard. >> shepard: president trump is complaining now about democrats, even though they are not a factor in this case. the present tweety, republican senators are working very hard to get there with no help from the democrats. not easy. perhaps just let obamacare crash and burn.
12:07 pm
in the last hour, "the american medical association" opposed the plan. the nation's largest dr. group says americans losing coverage in the deep cuts to medicaid spending among other items. the senate will decide as early as this week, and we could get a cdo's or any moment. peter doocy in the white house, do we know what hannah pressured the president is putting on these republicans to pass his bill? >> we do, shep. so far cap the president is not asking rank-and-file republicans to do anything -- or their leaders are not. the white house just said at this audio only briefing, they want the health care passed by this third of august, which is what leaders have said. they say president trump is happy with the way the senate replacement for obamacare looks for now. >> he is very pleased with the developments. he's been impressed with the
12:08 pm
work. as you mentioned, he wants a bill that has heart. he wants a bill that does what it is supposed to do. when you look at what happen with obamacare, he does not that she wants to make sure we think through this. >> he also just set a few minutes ago, president trump feels confident about the champions of health care passing this bill after conversations over the weekend with senators who are presently opposed, including ted cruz, ron paul, ron johnson, and some on the cabinet. the purpose was to hear senators out about what has to happen to guarantee their vote, but something else to weigh heavily on their senators is the impending congressional budget office. that will predict how many people could lose coverage or gain coverage. now come the white house he said, no matter what that congressional budget office says later on today, it will not be a deal breaker for them.
12:09 pm
they will still back this bill. that is almost certainly going to be a different story for senators, whose political lives depend on how they're going to vote on this. state-by-state. the congressional budget office score right now, there minus five, and they could either gain some support or lose support. this is in the next few hours, shep. >> shepard: we get this decision shortly. peter doocy at the white house. thank you. for more of the supreme court ruling that will allow a limited version on the travel ban, let's bring in law professor from university of st. louis" to the john paul stevens. thank you. >> think of have me. >> shepard: not as dramatic an effect to be had this time. can you explain to reviewers why? >> it's a mixed bag. the supreme court sort of -- did look a little bit of justice, slashing this remedy on the travel ban, which says, if you
12:10 pm
have a bona fide relationship, family relationship or relationship with an institution, like a employer or institution or university, cannot be applied. that provision of the effect applies to immigrants and refugees. that makes a difference. for refugees, who are driven to come here by conditions and persecutions in their country, they will be less likely to have that institutional or familiar relationship. the court has given the administration a pretty strong basis for enforcing this ban against refugees. for immigrants, the line has to be drawn more carefully and closely. homeland security is responsible for figuring out whether an immigrant has that relationship that the court talked about, so the administrative official on the immigration side have a fair amount of discretion to try to enforce the ban. >> shepard: it is a judgment call. individual cases.
12:11 pm
>> it's not exactly a judgment call. it's a bright light in theory. give a close family member. do you have a employer or educational relation? when someone comes in at the border at customs, what are they can at the show? what is home and it's pretty going to demand to see is evidence of that bona fide relationship? how is homeland security going to draw the line? the courts opinion get some specific examples. if you are a speaker to come address the audience. if you're an employee to work for an american employer. there might be cases as a gray area to whether the necessary relationship. >> shepard: pulmonary ruling, this one. in october, what will be in pla play? >> in october, everything will be in play. is your summary mentioned, there will be issues if by october, the ban a legal challenge to the ban will even be relevant, depending if it is in effect or
12:12 pm
has changed shape. that's a threshold issue. then there are the merits questions. both constitutional and statutory. constitutionally, the big question is, does this ban amount to a muslim ban. so, it violates the preexercise clause of the first amendment, because it is religious determination. statutorily, is a question whether the executive order that the present issued exceeds the authority that congress has given the executive branch to make decisions work. >> shepard: okay, what is his preliminary ruling say about the president's ability, responsibility, to regulate national security? >> says the president has broad and strong authority to regulate national security purposes. that is a very conventional account of the law. it does not tell us much.
12:13 pm
if anything about how the court is inclined to rule on this particular issue. even if the court strikes down the executive order substantially or completely, it still going to have to acknowledge, the president does have significant, strong authority to regulate the national security for x, y, or z that is overcome in this case. that could still happen. >> shepard: gregory mccarron, thank you. mrs. e >> thank you. >> shepard: we're waiting for that report about how much the senate g.o.p. health care bill will cost taxpayers and how many americans stand to lose insurance coverage under this plan? it will mean a lot politically for senators on capitol hill. the moment it comes out, that is coming up on the fox news deck on a monday afternoon. ♪ if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me,

changes, pretty minor corrections to the original language for the one big one is a lockout provision, which essentially says, do not wait until you get sick to buy insurance. if you allow your insurance to lapse for more than two months, there will be a six month waiting period before you can buy back end. the argument being that it will keep people who maintain their insurance all along from suffering through major spikes in the premiums bottom line, try to make sure people buy insurance without finding them, but finding another way to do that. meanwhile, there's a lot of pressure building on those five senate republicans. they oppose the bill and a current form. ted ted cruz, rand paul, ron jo, michael e. they must focus on what is doable. >> you want socialized medicine? sq should get, unless you work with us and try to find some way around it.

same thing with moderates. commit nobody with brains in my opinion, except socialists want socialized medicare. >> this is what they're hoping at this congressional budget office score will show. they're hoping it will say that essentially come if your people will lose their health care coverage then the 23 million debt estimated would lose it under the house bill. they're also hoping it will say that premiums would come down sooner in the process. we will see, shep. >> what are you here from democratic lawmakers on the hill? >> several of the top republica. chuck schumer of that we can say the ads could hit 50/50 in terms of passage in the senate. he says the updated version of the bill will likely pour salt in the wombs. who experience a gap in health care with no fault of their own. the number two democrat also blasted the bill. >> to think that american people

12:37 pm
they were concerned that anything they did in that climate would be seen as political. it is interesting to hear marie's suggest there might be some retaliation directly interfering in the election results. i'm not sure how that would've worked. the administration, the obama administration did make some knows about it, but it was sort of a comedy of errors in the way it was done. it came out on the same day as that famous access hollywood tape about candidate trump another high newsworthy things. he got pulled under the waves of other news a few weeks before. >> shepard: the folks trump administration, they say it was trump and his team that said the election were wrecked, and they were concerned -- whatever they do might add to that working fear? >> their concern was, they would be bolstering claims that there was something wrong with the electoral system. something that the obama/clinton
12:38 pm
had somehow rigged it. that is one of the arguments you here put forward by obama folks. that said, even if they did make a bigger deal about it at the time, i'm not sure for example imposing the sanctions they did later in the year, doing those in october, would have caused a huge stir from the media the way it has the last few months. >> shepard: what is your supporting suggest that the white house is doing now? we are told by everybody involved in this process, the russians are coming. they're already working on 2018, 2,020. as a white house working effectively to stop this? >> is not clear to me at they are. they seem kind of paralyzed by his allegations that their being too soft with russia. too hard on russia. should the president have a full meeting with the russians, should he not? for sean spicer to suggest that some kind of electoral parity commission is going to be the mechanism to keep the meddling of russia out of our election, i don't think that really is possible. it has to be something much,
12:39 pm
much more forceful than that. >> shepard: in the white house, what is the thinking on whether president trump should have this meeting in germany with vladimir putin, either two camp camps? >> there are two camps. our people as you say, very concerned that the president would be seen too much in the pocket of russians. remember, but two months ago, that is meeting with the russian foreign minister, and russian investor was trashing james combing and making strange comments about working more closely with the russians. we would just see that all dredged up again in an extended diplomatic exchange with the russians at this point. >> shepard: is it your sense that some of this discussion about who knew what when on russian interference is over, because the president appears to be same, if it is obama's fault, he did not do enough. the president's income i'm just finding out that a obama foundt about it then. that's not true though.
12:40 pm
the president-elect was briefed on all this. >> right. clearly he was aware of it. i don't think the question of whether obama did or did not do anything at the time, less the trump administration can claim somehow that this was a one incident and will never be repeated is good to be credible going forward indefinitely. its policy for how the u.s. is going to address this problem. with the white house ain't coming there concern about other countries other than russia possibly having interfered in the last election were to come in the u.s. >> shepard: just from "politco." good to see. prime minister of india. there awaiting his arrival. the president and lady outside. it seems like the limousine has arrived, there is fear let's listen.
