mr. sanders: right. so if my understanding is correct, and i'm quite sure it is, the american medical association, not one of the great progressive groups in america but the group that represents the physicians in this country, a, they have not been able to make testimony but, b, what is their view on this legislation? what do the doctors of america feel about this important legislation? mr. wyden: they are opposed, as i've indicated, and i think it is particularly important to see this provider-patient partnership that in this time is saying the patients come first and this bill hurts patients. mr. sanders: but we have not heard yet from one doctor making public testimony at a hearing. in other words, this bill -- what does this mean to your patients? what happens if 32 million people are thrown off of medicaid? how many of them will die? what about hospitals? what are -- what kind of testimony have we heard from hospital administrators, those in rural america, about the impact of this legislation on ru

mrs. sanders may have violated the law. complaint states is senator sanders was bullying banks and using the power of his position in order to speed up the loan process. last i checked, that's a big no-no. chris: and how shockingly common that sort of conduct is. if america's favorite socialist is able to do that. imagine what they are they and their spouse are getting that regular americans don't. kennedy: this gives validation to people who say perhaps the purchase of their home on lake champlain might also have been dubious. i'm not saying there is a correlation between the college land deal and the beautiful home they were able to purchase as part of the 1%. it does smack of hypocrisy. chris: there is nothing wrong with populism. there is nothing wrong with being a tribute of people. and there is nothing wrong with living well and being successful. the issue here is hypocrisy and whether sanders is walking the walk and not just talking the talk. kennedy: and falsifying documents for mrs. sanders. if she overstated the at

mr. sanders: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. sanders: mr. president, i raise a point of order that the pending amendment violates section 313-b-1-a of congressional budget act of 1974. i would just remind the members -- the presiding officer: the senate will come to order. mr. sanders: mr. president, i'm glad that the senator from nevada is concerned about medicaid, but i would just remind the senate that yesterday, the vast majority of republicans voted to throw 15 million people off of medicaid on their way to end health insurance for 22 million americans. our job as a nation is to guarantee health care to every man, woman, and child, and join the rest of the industrialized world, not throw disabled children off of the health care they currently have. i urge a no vote. i raise a point of order that the pending amendment violates section 313-b-1-a of the congressional budget act of 1974. the presiding officer: the senator from nevada. mr. heller: mr. president, pur

mr. sanders: mr. president, this is an exciting day. after years and years, there are some of my republican colleagues have begun to understand that we cannot continue a dysfunctional health care system which allows 28 million americans to have no health insurance, which forces us to pay the highest prices in the world by far for health care, and even higher prices, outrageously high prices for prescription drugs. so i understand that senator daines has introduced a medicare for all single-payer system. i congratulate him. it sounds to me like the republicans are beginning to catch on about the need to transform our health care and join the rest of the industrialized world. so i say to senator daines, if he is prepared to vote for this legislation and if he can get maybe five, six more republicans to vote for this legislation, i think we can win it. and i think the united states can join the rest of the industrialized world and finally guarantee health care to all people. so senator daines, five, six other republicans vote for this, cou

mr. sanders: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. sanders: thank you, mr. president. let me just begin by taking a moment to kind of summarize the american people -- to the american people of where we are at in this enormous discussion which is causing a great deal anxiety all over vermont and all over america. and that is severl months ago, the republican-led house passed by, i believe, three votes legislation that would throw 23 million americans off of the health insurance they currently have. 23 million americans, men, women, and children, people who are struggling with cancer, with heart disease, diabetes, with other life-threatening illnesses. they were simply thrown off of the health insurance that they have. that legislation also cut medicaid by $800 billion over a ten-year period, and that means that children with disabilities in alaska or permit who are now on medicaid might no longer be able to get the help that they need in order to survive or to live a dignified life. at a time when medicaid provides two-thirds of the fun

mr. sanders: thank you. mr. president, i do not know -- and i don't know if anybody knows -- whether the republican so-called health care legislation will pass tomorrow, whether the beginning of the debate will take place or whether it will not. i don't know that. but this i do know, is that the legislation being proposed -- and, by the way, we still don't know what that legislation is. but in general, what we do know is that that legislation being proposed is the cruelest, most destructive and irresponsible piece of legislation ever brought to the united states senate in the modern history of our country. i know the media focuses on do the republicans have the vote? how is this senator going to vote? how is that senator going to vote? all of that is interesting to those of us inside the beltway, but the far more important issue, which we don't discuss enough, media doesn't cover enough, is what this legislation actually would do if it were implemented. right now unique among major countries on earth, we do not

mrs. sanders illegally obtain ad loan for the vermont college she ran which later closed after strugglingtors, is what is looked at. gina loud done and pablo enriquez are back with me. gina, the concern here she may have been basically fraudulent, saying oh, we have this much money of worth of donations coming in and we should be able to get this loan because we have recorded this much money coming in the door but if you don't have that money coming in the door, and you tell the bank you do, that's fraudulent. >> trish it doesn't take an economist to explain to mrs. sanders you don't take ad t perhaps senator sanders's office actually pressured the bank to kind of gloss over everything. and so, those two accusations are pretty serious accusations. resorting to the old muscle memory of the socialist left saying this is somehow sexist. this isn't sexist. this appears to be criminal. to just scream sexism at every single turn is exactly the reason president trump was elected because the american people are so tired of this sexist, racist on all issues. trish: i don't get it sexism, pablo, wa

mr. sanders. >> no. >> so you are watching them there on the senate floor.cussing this bill and to vote on bill specifically. the senior capitol hill producer, he is there right now. chadha, what can you tell us about this long night that we are watching unfold? >> this is a key vote here. this is not final passage on the bill. this is an amendment to scare down, skinny repeal of obamacare. they need to have a simple majority to do this, but in the last couple of moments, a couple of senators have voted no. what that does, if all of the other 50 republican senators hold together, they can still pass this amendment which is key to passing the bill. try to incorporate this into the bill, and then have vice president pence break the tie. but they are down to two no right now. that told us a lot, that they might not have the votes for this. if they had the votes, they would have forged ahead in the timely fashion. >> what happens if they don't have a vote? >> if they don't have the votes, that probably casts a very long shadow on the prospects for repealing and

options as to whether the president favors repealing health care deputy secretary sarah huckabee sanders said mr. trump's thinking has not changed. jim acosta, the white house. >> let's talk about this with scott lucas who teaches politics. good to see you, scott, thanks for being with us. we've been in this anchor chair for a decade, covering many presidents, kellyanne conway, i want to start with her comment there when she said that this media coverage sun patriotic. no president gets a pass from the media when they take the oath of office, it just doesn't happen. so, why he thinks he's being singled out unfairly. >> well, this has happened before. i mean, richard nixon, for example, was no fan of the media, and at times declared them almost an enemy during the watergate period. but trump has taken this to new levels. he's extremely sensitive to criticism personally. then you combine that with the challenges of the office. of everything from the investigation into the possible collusion of russia. to the difficult this over his legislative process. including health care. his problems with the

mr. sanders: thank you.am president, i wanted to say a few words about the new republican health care plan that was just announced a few hours ago. and while there are some modest changes in it, the truth of the matter is that this plan remains a disaster. it remains an embarrassment. and i think the indication that it is an embarrassment is that with legislation that would impact about one-sixth of the american economy, over $3 trillion a year, legislation because it's health care impacts virtually everybody, there has not been one public hearing on this legislation. it has all been done behind closed doors. and i honestly, no matter what your view may be on where we as a nation should go with health care, whether you like this bill or you don't like this bill, i just don't know how somebody seriously can say we don't have to hear from physicians about the impact of this legislation on their ability to treat their patients. i don't know how you do that. or to hear from hospitals -- i come from a rural state

attorney jay sekulow and brand-new press secretary sarah sanders. and mr. s rks k -- sekulow, i want to start with you. let start with this tweet that president trump sent out yesterday morning. while all agree that the u.s. president has the complete power to pardon, why think of it when the only crime so far is leaks against us. fake news. i wonder if you can explain what the president means by that, complete power to pardon. does he believe he has the right to pardon himself? >> the president in that tweet, stated something rather unremarkable. and that is that under the constitution, article 2, section 2, the president has the authority to pardon. i want to be clear on this, george. we have not, and continue to not have conversations with the president of the united states regarding pardons. pardons have not been discussed. and pardons are not on the table. with regard to the issue of a president pardoning himself, there's a big academic discussion going on. an academic debate. you have professor tribe arguing one point. professor turley arguing another

and deputy sarah huckabee sanders was promoted to chief spokesman for a president who often prefers to speak for himself. with mr. trump's job approval at an all-time low and his agenda in jeopardy, scaramucci's goal will be taking the mess out of the messaging. here's major garrett. >> this is obviously a difficult situation to be in. >> reporter: that's stating the obvious. anthony scaramucci knows wall street and has close ties to president trump and his family, but his arrival prompted press secretary sean spicer to resign and flared long-simmering tensions with chief of staff reince priebus and chief strategist steve bannon, both opposed his hiring. typically a communications director is subservient to the chief of staff and a top strategist, but scaramucci will not have to check in with priebus or bannon. >> the president said i report to him directly. >> reporter: that's a victory, one denied when scaramucci was left off the president's roster of top appointees after the inauguration. >> you weren't a significant player during the transition. was it disappoint thank you did not land a post from the get-go

sanders or mr.hey have a lot of work, i think, to put the policy agenda, which we all are rooting for back on track for the administration. neil: john layfield? >> three things, i think they're all bipartisan. lower corporate tax, which i think both sides agree with. repatriation of money, which will help business, and third, fix obamacare, forget the repeal, 100% partisan, democrats and republicans want to fix it. let president obama keep his legacy, swallow a little pride and fix health care instead of saying we're going to let you keep, it watch america go down the tubes. terrible thing for people to say. neil: all right, guys, thank you, both very, very much. down about 46 points here. there's not been a big market reaction to this. probably a more significant one, significant player not to trivialize sean spicer, a media figure to put it mildly, if this had been rumored out there that the president had become annoyed and frustrated with the investigation of robert mueller, if he was trying to f
