amy klobuchar and i work closely together and have discussed healthcare. you need to look at the fact that the pain of obamacare is getting worse, the insurance markets are collapsing for many people around the country can't buy insurance from anyone because no one is willing to sell in so many counties across the country. on the other hand, the democrats in california, the state senate has passed a basically single-payer plan. the cost is $400 billion, over twice the entire general fund of the state of california. so that is not realistic where the democrat party is trying to lead. >> bill: you won't go that way. mitch mcconnell indicated he has a july 4th deadline to get things through the senate. that's less than two weeks. will that happen? >> i believe we'll vote before the fourth of july recess on a repeal and replacement of obamacare. every republican is trying to get to yes. there are some differences of opinion on specific details of this but you may have seen chuck schumer, the democrat leader sent a letter to mitch mcconnell on friday afternoon

amy klobuchar pushing back against that. to listen to process the sessions' hearing. what do you make of that and what are you watching for today with sessions? >> republicans cannot get away or run fast enough away from donald trump's political problems. this investigation has clouded not just their political agenda and their potential ability to keep the house of representatives from 2018 it's clouded their legislative agenda. they really -- what -- do you think this health care bill is going anywhere any time soon, tax reform, infrastructure, no. >> you don't think they will vote on it by july as some have floated. >> they may try to force a vote and say they've done it, but it's hard to see if there will be success at this time. one way to tamp down on that is to say okay we're not answering any more questions. paul ryan said i'm not taking more questions about donald trump. even lindsey graham will take about anybody's question said he's not. let's see what happens. >> what will you be listening for? >> i think everythi

. >> i asked senator amy klobuchar if she is concerned the tweets are distracting what is going on inenate as gop member of the senate try to craft a revised health care bill and try to get it through congress and to the president's desk. here is what she told me about those concerns from the left. >> you know, i think that is going to be up to the media and actually up to some of us that work in government. our job is to make sure that our citizens know that something really big is happening so i will tell you right now, something really big could happen if the republicans choose to draft a bill behind closed doors with no input from not just democrat, but a lot of republicans like susan collins who have publicly said that these -- there should be hearings and things shouldn't be done behind closed doors. we had over a hundred hearings for the affordable care act. we had countless amendments, including republican amendments that were accepted as part of the bill. now we need to fix that bill. we need to make changes to the exchanges and we need to bring down the pharmaceutical prices

i want to play you a sound bite from democratic senator amy klobuchar.s is why she said she voted against confirming rachel brand. take a listen. >> rosenstein answered most of the questions i directly asked her some questions, i had a pleasant meeting with her in my office, but i was concerned about her in this job. mueller has not even started to do his job. and i would hope rachel brand who does have legal experience here would understand that and even if for some reason this went into her hand, would do the right thing for the justice department. >> interesting enough, francesca, we should point out that the senate voted very much along party lines for confirming rachel brand, 52-46. what can you tell us about her? what do we know about her? >> she is someone attorney general jeff sessions says is a brilliant lawyer. so someone the department of justice has confidence in. if she were to have to take over this investigation. but i think the bigger picture here is that we're even at the point where we're now looking at the attorney general having recus

with me senator amy klobuchar who serves on the senate committee and went to law school with james comey. nice to see you. >> great to be on, greta, thanks. >> all right, senator, he says 100% he's willing to say he's willing to testify under oath. and you say what? >> well, that was quite a surprise, but i say great. why doesn't he come and testify under oath? i think we want to get the truth out here. i do think as you know, as a -- someone who has practiced law for a significant period of time, that the special prosecutor, former director mueller, when he tries to get to the bottom of what went on here with flynn and others, he's going to talk to other witnesses. it's not just going to be a he said-he said situation in any of these investigations. there will be people that they spoke to at the time. there will be evidence in writing. there will be other things he'll be looking at. of course, the number one on our list would be the tapes, if those tapes do exist. when the president said that we'll be disappointed it seemed like a little clue that maybe they don't exist. >> well, the ta

last month i along with my fellow cochairs of the senate tourism caucus, senator amy klobuchar and senator heller and senator brian schatz led the senate in passage of a resolution recognizing the week of may 7 as the national travel and tourism week. there are really good statistics whether it's missouri or west virginia or the country at large on this topic. one out of every nine jobs in the united states depends on travel and tourism. it accounts for over 15 million jobs nationwide. international travel to the united states is our single largest export industry, the single largest thing where people bring money into our country is tourism to the united states. it generates a trade surplus of roughly $87 billion. and of that trade surplus with foreign travelers, foreign travelers stay longer. they spend more. and they like us better when they leave virtually 100% of the time than they did when they got here, even if they thought they were going to like us a lot, they wind up liking us more. if they question whether they were going to like us at all, they almost always wind up on the very

i'm joined by democratic senator amy klobuchar of minnesota who was in the same class of james comeyat law school. what did you make of his credibility today? >> well, i think he showed his integrity at its best. he's someone who in law school, a lot of people liked. he actually was pretty humble in law school, just did his work and was a smart guy. >> was he 6'5" back then? >> yes, and he always played basketball. but i think what you saw today was he had a common-sense way of talking about things that when he was the head of the fbi, i think he had to be very, very careful. and this time you just saw him at what he was like when i first met him. i think that's really important, his integrity. i just kept thinking for jim comey, it's all about the law and the rules. you know, i used to be a prosecutor. we'd swear in our prosecutors. when they took an oath, they took an oath to the law. they did not take a oath of loyalty to me, and certainly comey understands he wasn't supposed to take an oath of loyalty to the president. >> when you graduate from a prestigious school like chicago l

it, amy klobuchar, looked in the midwest. one of the reasons obama did well. those of the states that are becoming the swing states now. that's i think the democrats will speak at steve. i bet you disagree with this, into democrat can win. >> i think it was to presidential politics is that the next president will always possess oppositional virtues to the last president. and they are not experiential virtues, they are character virtues. and so i'm not sure who that is in the democratic party other than to say we were on the set of "morning joe," the democratic congressman from ohio who challenged nancy pelosi, tim ryan. he's a very nice guy, very articulate and he sat down, i joke around with them and i said you are awfully young looking for a leader in the democratic party. and he just, and he started laughing. and so i think when you look at the obama years in the amount of seat losses the democrats have sustained, you have a hollowing out, and so you have old people and then you have not ready people. you know, to be president. i think the nominee is more l

if a it's going great, trump can win but if he remains unpopular, kamala harris, amy klobuchar. those are the swing states now. >> steve, i bet you disagree with any democrat can win theory. >> i think what is true presidential politics is that in the next president will always possess oppositional virtues to the last president, and they're not experiencal virtues. they're character virtues. i'm not sure who that is in the democratic party. a democratic congressman who challenged nancy pelosi, tim ryan, and a very nice guy, very articulate and sat down and i joked with him. said you're awfully young looking for a leader in democratic party, and he just started laughing, and so i think when you look at the obama years -- >> the amount of seat losses that democrats have sustained who have a hollowing out -- you have old people and then you have not ready people. so to be president i think that nominee is more likely than not to come out of the side of the -- may not be particularly ready but at the right moment, and i think there's people -- we were talking before. a congressman f
