toomey: thank you very much. i also want to say how pleased i am to be working with senator van hollen. i'm grateful for his leadership on this issue and other issues. i think this is very constructive legislation and it's essential that it be bipartisan so this can go the distance and become law. we call this the banking restrictions involving north korea act, or the brink act. it is because we are close to a brink here. intercontinental ballistic missiles. they can already reach parts of the united states. north korea has demonstrated the ability to detonate nuclear devices. it is plausible that they have the ability to put miniaturized nuclear weapons in an intercontinental ballistic missile. it is not a question of whether. it is a question of when they would be able to deliver those weapons to virtually anywhere in the united states of america. this is a menace that we cannot tolerate. we cannot allow north korea to achieve its goal of being able to hold the united states hostage to nuclear attack. the fact

i've made the same pitch to senator casey and senator toomey.bviously, i have fundamental differences, and i say this respectfully, with senator toomey on this issue. i think he's wrong, and i think ultimately it's going to lead to a greater crisis in pennsylvania. we need guaranteed access to treatment. if people are dealing, if they're violent, we're going to get them and we're going to lock them up. but too many people are suffering from addiction who need treatment, not incarceration. why, right now, would we do away with their access to treatment? it doesn't make any sense. tracy: and we should say that he told the morning call that the final bill will include "an extraordinary effort to deal with addiction, especially opioid problems." but you make a point too that yeah, not--jail might not be the right place for a lot of these people. josh: and let me say senator toomey is technically right, there will be dollars set aside for this, but the guaranteed benefit, the guaranteed services and access to treatment will be taken away. tracy: it's

pennsylvania senator pat toomey says at this point it is not clear that republicans have enough votes to pass the plan. today nbc 10 caught up with him about one of the big sticking points. >> it's been interesting cht. >> reporter: senator pat toomey had a business round table. >> however that vote goes we will not be finished with health care. it's not possible really to be finished with health care. >> reporter: one of the big sticking points of any bill, how to handle medicaid. >> i'm terrified. >> reporter: medicaid pays for treatment for her 2 1/2 year old. >> we are going to fight and hope that maybe she can walk with a walker or crutches someday. >> reporter: senator toomey assuring those gathered here that no one gets kicked off medicaid under the senate plan but says he wants states to pay their fair share to make the program sustainable. >> if the federal funding goes down can the state make up some of that to keep people on medicaid? >> i think that is what becomes very difficult. >> reporter: department of human services secretary tells me pennsylvania would have to look

toomey says the expansion happened with obamacare including able-bodied working age adults who don't have children. >> we are not disallowing the category but we are saying if were going to do this, we've got to asked states to pay their fair share. if the state says it's not worth us to do it, that's their decision. but i think that's an important reform. >> george will offered this context in "the washington post." "comey's provision makes it the century's most significant domestic policy reform." moffat says over time it should have a huge impact. >> at the end of ten years, there will be a very significant savings to the taxpayer and the program of about $772 billion. understand this, it's not a result of cuts to the program. the bill doesn't eliminate any category of beneficiaries. it simply changes the growth rate per enrollee cost over time. >> while conservatives talk savings, democrats call them cuts. >> there is a slashing in medicaid by about $770 billion over ten years and if you add to that additional cuts to medicaid proposed by the president's budget, we are north of a

pat toomey had this to say over the replacement bill. >> we didn't expect to be in this situation.t was hard to force that. is senator toomey's comment an admission or excuse for why republicans can't get it together and agree on a reform health care plan when they've been working toward this for seven years. >> i have to say, i like senator toomey and i voted for him, i was really taken aback when i heard this. as you had exactly pointed out, they had been supposedly at work on this for the last seven years, for the life of me, i do not understand why the president's inauguration, the house and senate republicans didn't stand out there on the steps of the capitol and say, here's our plan. they were not ready for this, they can't get their act together. alice is exactly right, it comes down to lower premiums. senator cruise has got this right. they have to get their act together. if they don't, this is going to be a major problem for them when it comes to 2018. >> was it a mistake for president trump to have a hands off approach with the policy making part of this senate bill? >> i

just ask senator pat toomey. >> we did not expect donald trump to win. we did not expect to be in this situation. can the repeal and replace plan be saved? i will ask the two party leaders, ronald mcdavid and perez in their first ever appearance. joining me robert costa and kristin welker and rich lowry at the national review and ruth marcus, columnist for the washington post. welcome to sunday. it is "meet the press." >> the longest running show in television history, celebrating the 70th year, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. good sunday morning. did you miss friday's meeting with vladimir putin and donald trump. this photo was took place behind closed doors with two translators. the meeting from secretary of state tillerson and lavrov and later mr. putin, near sanctions or denials and insisted to move on of the russian meddling. i strongly pressed putin twiced of meddling in our election and he vehemently denied it. it is time to move forward and working constructively with russia. still a at a time where our world is facing this threat. it i

if they're having if unexpected, as senator toomey told us, opportunity to actually govern and they fail, the base who has been promised for seven years now that it's going to be ripped out root and branch is going to have a beef. and they can't not -- they can't say, well, obamacare is failing, which is not actually accurate, but they're doing their best to make it fail. >> we have a rural problem they have to solve. >> i think what's been striking based on my conversations with people at white house and on capitol hill is that they have two completely different versions of a plan b. you have people at the white house saying, if this doesn't pass, we do want to just repeal and then replace down the line. folks on capitol hill say, that's not realistic. that ship has sailed. we have to work with democrats to try to stabilize the market, like mitch mcconnell said. if this fails, there is a lot of gray area on how we move forward. >> i'm not so sure this has become a grievance party, a party that encourages fake news. this base of repeal and replace, i don't see it when i'm out on the road

pat toomey did something a little different.did have a town hall, but it was a little bit more controlled, in a television studio, with a moderator. and he was able to somewhat control how the questions were coming in, not just screaming all over the room. is he brilliant in what he did? or will it eventually catch up with him, that he is not holding large-scale, "come one, come all, all my constituents can find me"-style events? >> well, listen, he made his decision months ago that he wasn't gonna have a -- talk about optics, having come to philadelphia more than any other place in pennsylvania and get absolutely harangued for his position, which has been very consistent. we may not agree with it, but he has been consistent on his position on cutting back on medicaid benefits or requiring the states to divvy up more than the feds. so, at this point, once he's made that decision, there's no benefit to come to philadelphia or to go out and do a live town-hall meeting. and the media's only gonna cover what's the most spectacular t

senate was that senator pat toomey my opponent. was sitting on the senate banking committee while i was blowing the whistle on the just b.c. and losing everything and he was our fine dinners and you know letting each is pretty off the hook. and what happened was during the summit elections h.s.b.c. formed a pac and they started buying up senators literally by donating money to their campaigns. and that's a huge conflict of interest and if you're sitting on the senate base finance committee why are you accepting donations from a bank that has admitted to financing the enemy that's kind of a problem. so i decided to throw my hat in the ring against pat toomey and i knew i was going to lose and i'm thirty i was thirty two and thirty one and i sort of running and therefore if ethically i felt uncomfortable accepting donations so i spent. seventy five thousand of my own money to run against him knowing i'm going to lose just look at the message out just to show him and to show the public that you know what david will stand against golia

senator toomey might be mistaken.now what information he has that he believes the republicans could get 50 votes. senator susan collins, a gettable republican for mitch mcconnell, said the bill should not pass on a party line, meaning it should include democrats. if you take that as the standard they need to operate by now, it sounds like she is setting that standard for herself. i don't understand how they will get this done in the next few weeks. they will have to scrap this bill, put a new bill on the floor, get house republicans and house democrats who have completely different incentive structures to get it through. i don't see it, it seems like their trapped in time and don't know what to do. >> feeling like it is not so stupendous living in that tube. what about the arrests that we're seeing right now outside of the senators officers. any word that might end up swaying anyone's opinion on the sfwhil. >> bill? >> people protest all of the time up here, it is just emblemmatemblem m emblematic. they probably heard

and you have so many members now speaking out like pat toomey saying that you know, look, we acknowledgehat actually, we never thought trump would even get elected. we were caught flat footed. we have just been basically opposing obamacare all this time but we did not have time to put together a plan. let's go back to the drawing board. whether that looks like something that compromises with democrats or another pass at a republican plan, i'm just not sure it will ultimately make it through the senate. >> real quick, shannon says it's a fantasy that democrats will get on board with this. do you agree with it? >> i totally agree they will never get on board with replacing obamacare. i think they would totally get on board with fixing some of the things that need to be fixed like shoring up the individual market. >> heidi, thank you very much. shannon, coming up, the mystery eight decades old that may now maybe be newly solved. we'll be right back after this. >>> 27,000 miles. >> it's one of the greatest unsolved mysteries. >> the world's most daring pilot, amelia earhart, lost at s sea. a
