here we come. you don't mess with america. your final knife tonight, a healthcare vote a ram a going on right now in capital hill. the pentagon says it's not doing anything for the trans gender. anthony scaramucci tells us about how he feels about some of his colleagues. jeff sessions goes on about the president's public krits many s that's what we're talking about tonight, but first and foremost, this is it, this is the new healthcare billion. this came out at 10:00 and it looks like there may be a vote very soon on this. the senate is in session right now. the senators are holding the flr to right to get something done on healthcare. mitchell mcconnell introduced what they're calling

healthcare freedom act a little while ago and the cbo just re lease numbers estimating 16 million more people would be uninsured under the billion. there is a lot to digest and we have one person who has been on capital hill all night keeping tabs on the process and here's lindsay watts. she's on skype. how is it going? >>reporter: you tell me because i know some politicians were coming over. what's the vibe on capital hill tonight? >>reporter: i popped outside to where some people have been pro testing. >> i hear it. >>reporter: in the last few minutes mike pence's motorcade came up and it will be a little hard to he see these folks, but they are chanting shame on you. shame on you. this has been going on for a few minutes as mike mike pence arrived at the capital building. protestors have been out here for several hours and it looks like they are

sense ever people, at least the lawmakers, i know you talked to some democrats out there, is there frustration that they're still there, that they're still talking or are they in the for the long hall? i think everybody is in it for the long haul. i talked to maryland senator, benicar dirntion a disem and what i think had him frustrated was this sense of republicans like lindsay gram and john mccain who say they don't want to see this so quawld skinny billion to become law. they came out today saying that this billion is a fraud and that it's a disaster, but yet we think that there is a good possibility that republicans could vote this through tonight hoping that the house is not decide to pass it and then the president signs it into law, but instead this is just a way to extend the process and continue negotiations to create yet another healthcare billion. >> a lot of grid lock, that's for sure, lindsay. i know you'vehood a long day out there

staying up a little bit late. lindsay watts live via capital hill. i want to point out as we talk a little bit more about the billion. what the skinny rebeal does it repeals the individual mandate. it delays the mandate until 2025. the medical device is going to be pushed back for 2021. and then planned parenthood. it just came out. 10:00. we go from 24 million down to 22 million, now it's 16 million uninsured. if you want to weigh in use the hashtag the final five and we'll share your thoughts on this but there's still a lot going on tonight on capital hill. let's move on and talk about the the tweets from the president that sent off a fire storm at a the president. today it's not taking any steps to enforce the president's ban on

waiting for actual guidance from the white house. the white house did say today that the president intends to carry out the policy. >> the white house will work with the the department of defense and all of the relevance parties to make sure that we fully implement this policy moving forward and do so in a lawful manner. politico is look ing for a the president's announcement of that transgender troop ban. we'll queep an eye on that one for you. there's so much going on. anthony scar much i, this may not be the communication strategy he was looking for, but he's making quite an impressive. a reporter talked about details of a quite colorful phone call. >> i will refrain in this arena, but not giving up the passionate fight for president tru

america great again. scaramucci called him because he was angry about leaks. so liz a tweeted out last night that a senior white house official told him, the president, the first lady and former fox's billion shine all had dinner at the white house. scare much i called and wanted to know who gave them that he information. when lids a wouldn't give him that information he threatened to fire the whole team. scaramucci had some colorful insults for priebus. he said let me go, though because i have to start making some tweets to make this guy crazy. i can't have a couple of friends up from fox and friends and sean, he was one of my closest friends to have

dinner to diner without it being leaked in seven minutes. it's actually completely and totally reprehensible. as you know from the italian expression, the fish stings from the head sting and i can tell you two fish that don't sting and that's me and the president. it wasn't liz a's story he was mad about, but an article that included this is financial disclosures. it said in light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony i will be contacting fbi and the justice department, hashtag swamp and then he tagged preeb bus. scaramucci meant priebus was the one one to leak the information. the reporter behind the story got the information which is publicly available through the export, import bank. rice

buys won't be around much longer . i think the president has alwaysen yois healthy competition and conversation and he sees that as such. despite the controversy priebus was there at the white house today as the president held a special ceremony to honor the us capital police officers who. the president gave the medal of recalla to david bailey and crystal grinder. they raised through the bullets and immediately engaged the gunman. minutes later, members of the alexandria police department arrived on the scene. these officers saved the lives of every innocent person on the field that day. >> congressman steve scalise was hospitalized for nearly six weeks a

was release earlier this week and is now undergoing rehab in an inpatient facility. the others have been out of the hospital. >> jeff sessions taking a lot of heat from his boss, but he's not stepping down. sessions was in el salvador today to talk about law enforcement officials to talk about the gang ms13. during the trip he also spoke with fox's tucker carlson. >> you've seen the president's criticism of you, do you think it's fair? >> well, it's kind of hurtful, but the president of the united states is a strong leader. he is determined to move this quunt ry in the direction he believes it needs to go to make us great again and had a lot of criticisms and he's steadfastly determined to get his job done and he wants all of us to do our jobs and that's what i intend to do. >> the attorney ger

he'll remain at the justice department as long as the president wants him to. >> although judging by the tweets we're not sure how much longer that means. >> been sash tried to discourage the president from potentially firing sessions and making a recess appointment while the president heads on vacation at the end of august. a recess appointment would allow the president to choose whomever he wants and bypass until 2019 if the sessions is in session for ten days. if you're thinking of making a recess appointment to push out the attorney general, forget about it. the presidency isn't a bull and this country isn't a china shop. mr. president, you're a public servant in a system with limited government with a duty to up hold and to defense and to teach to our kids the cons ticketed event substitution system of checks and balances. some lawmakers are would i

may fire the russian investigation committee. senator gram said president trump could his presidency in jeopardy if he tries to fire muscle error sessions. the chairman of the judicial situate committee sent a very chilling tweet yesterday. there will be no confirmation hearing for a new attorney general in 2017 if jeff sessions is fired there will be wholly hell to pay. any effort to go after musclier could be the beginning of the end of the trump presidency unless muscle irdid something wrong. right now i that have no reason to believe that mueller is compromised. grm planses to event dues the billion next week with the support of all the democrats in the senate and some republicans. president trump currently has the power to indirectly get rid of musclier something that's usually in the hands of the attorney

but of course sessions recused himself from the russia investigation. so it's rod rosen stiep, the deputy attorney general who has the power. if sessions refused, the president could fire him. it shouldn't be any surprise that been sas spoke out against the president because he was never a trum per during campaign. freshman who is making his name heard along on capital hill along with lindsay gram. with all the reported fighting at least there is someone who seems happy. former secretary sean spicer, he resigned but he's still saying on until august. >> look at him. he is relaxed, smiling. you could see pebble beach networks behind him. he was the the center of attention spicer reportedly resigned because he disagreed with the decision to higher scaramucci. he's been

doing so far. >> he has a clean slate and i'm going to the let him do that. >> did he get a new haircut, too a. he would not respond to questions about reports that dancing with the stars reached out to hip and wanted him to do the show. >> this was a strange one when it came across our feeds today. politico reported this, the first democratic candidate to announce a 2020 run for the white house could be a guy that some of you may know. he's from maryland, congressman john delaney. he is considering a run for president. there's talk about him running against larry hogan. he was barely reelected by a couple of times. according to politico democrats believe he will anowps his plans for the washington post. the presidential bid seems like a long shot, he has the money, but does he have the name? we'll e.

what is going on with healthcare . the president promisessed to support lgbt americans. john gnash joining us next to discuss on the final five.

when come back, the lgq comint has made some significant strides. after ' posing marriage equality. they leel liesed it across the country and a majority of americans supported. but president trump who did make a play for the vote ended up making the vote to ban transgender troops and then the justice department made a filing that claims the civil rights law that existses now doesn't prevent section yelt orientation . joining me john gnash who is a marketing and focus group pod cast. thanks for

here tonight. let's talk about this. we've been talking about the tweets because it seems that everything comes from a tweet these days. give me your perspective. when you saw, when everything started yesterday with the tweets from the partnership, what was your take away on that? the tweets were actually a major surprise for meemplet i think there had been some thought process in the transcommunity, especially among transservice members that the trump administration might make a move in that direction, to possibly ban them. to simply not pay for their healthcare which eventually led to this. the justice department move was totally expected because again that's keeping in line with the trump administration's rollback of the obama advances and/or their interpretation of current statute and law. before we move on, very quickly for people who weren't aware of this filing because it seemed to get lost in the wayside of everything. this epartment said theyice

defend that was put in place by the obama administration. >> correct, and it relates to the civil act of 1964. the obama stenned the language of that statute to say that it didn't just include cover and raisin protect against jimtion on the job, but probably covered sexual orientation awell. they're clinging to a very tight reading of the title p language they're saying when it was written, sexual orientation was known back in the of 30s. it was not covered and they made a point of noting that congress has not actually passed an equal rights act in this area called den dangerous deliveries. since 1974, the last time it was before the congress or when it was taken up again was when barney frank was there in 2011. in the sphears of market pging

antissing, the president likes to build himself up and you would think somehow, okay, there was an untap market for gay americans. you you see companies doing tremendous outreach these days. if if you're looking at it from a business mind it almost seems like you would want to push this forward. that's a superb point you make and specifically since trump on make america great again and he's a new yorker and if there is any city in the world where you do business it's new york and you don't really care who you are doing business with as long as it's good business. basically saying to all the service members who race their hand to defense our country and stand by the constitution seems like a terrible waste of in intellectual and opportunity and the opportunity and the discrimination act. that's a head scratching but again that goes back to him rolling back the oh bm a advancements. neither would be good for business. thankfully we have corporations that step in and give protections to their employees, but this is still

think the community needs to strongly look at getting legislation under the house and senate through alleys of ours hopefully and get some kind of employment discrimination package once again started because i think it does have to be a legislative victory as opposed to simply an executive order or a court decision. we have about 30 seconds left. very quickly when you look at some of these decisions made how much of it comes from donald trump the person and how much come from the people who surrender him in his administration? he was always a pretty liberal guy. >> again, fantastic question. i almost feel like it's the which hand is the red ball in, the left or the right. i think it comes from his team. i'm not quite sure that he would have come up with this on his own. i mean, he ran around the country during the campaign talking about what an incredible businessman was and this just

reporting says it comes from the mike pence side of the team, you know, the whole religious thing so possibly that's it. >> where can people find you. >> focus group radio.com. >> i was checking it out today. check him out. john, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you, jim. we're back after this on the final five.

>> it felt a little empty here last night without you. brody logan a is here with me. good evening. >> nice to be here. i had to come back. you're out at the redskins camp yesterday. no vote on healthcare. >> mikance i is still talking. i think someone behind him was falling asleep. let's talk about the election. hillary clinton wrote a book of course. this is in the a big surprise. it's the thing you do. you used to be a politician, you w

book. do you are never a politician again? i feel like it's hard for her not to be a politician. i think shes ' moving onto -- this is a novel? this is the name of her book. what happened and i think that's pretty self-explanatory. is there a question mark? is it a period or a question mark? that's a very good point. i think maybe it's thrown out there for you to interpret. the internet is having a field day with this, brody. let's go to the tweets, shall we. how to set up a secure male server, hashtag a better name for hillary's book. the perfect paper weight. >> i don't think you want secure tips on a male server. you don't like me. you really don't like me. just a lot of complaints. it takes a gaited village. what else do we have here in how to lose an election in ten days. here's the last one.

good. one billion spent on my campaign and i all i get is all this lousy book. i don't know what her advances are on that. >> i'm sure it's pretty nice. don't take any campaign tips from that book. >> this gets clinton gravy for a licensing time. >> the winning bid more than $29,000. let's see what this looks like here. >> he's just giving everyone the middle finger. it looks -- to me he when i looked a at this for the first time i thought it was the pittsburgh sky line and i say that because i go being a pittsburgh native. but that looks like the ppg. i lived in new york fr a couple of years, this looks nothing like the new york sky line. here's the thing , there are other things you could spend this kind of money on. did we say how much it

>> $29,000. you could buy a car much. >> you could buy a car. you can sale around the world for $30,000. you can get a flight around the world withs as many tops as you want for $30,000. or that. he designed hard to race money for lit as i campaign . go in the corner and tell us how you feel and we're back after this on the final five.
