ben sass from nebraska said he cringed when he saw this. he's getting a lot of blowback from people who can look at the video and not seeing ben sass cringing right now. >> let me read you his apology. he just put out a statement. friday nights are always my worst night of sleep because i'm reflecting on the things i should or shouldn't have said on my live show. last night was a particularly long night as i regret the word i used. the word was offensive and i regret saying it and i'm very sorry. bakari, some people are calling for bill maher to lose his job. is his apology enough? >> you know, i don't care whether or not bill maher keeps his job or not. he's fired, so what. the fact is you're still going to have people who replace him and come on tv and call each other -- whether or not they do it in attempting to do it in jest or derogatory. i want to have this discussion about race in this country. i want to have this discussion really about why that word carries so much hurt and pain for so many. you know, on twitter, and social media,

host: ben sass tweeting out this. this plan proposes a one-year delay after voting on repeal before it is effective. i want real repeal and real replace as we promised. guest: that would be different from -- that would change the game somewhat from what the president's tweet was this morning. host: getting to you sit here and putting you on the spot a little bit. reacting to tweets as they're happening here in real-time. is there an option c? i want to show our viewers here what senate minority leader chuck schumer had to say yesterday. >> let's start over. drop this fundamentally flawed approach, abandon cuts to medicaid, abandon tax breaks for the wealthy, and we can discuss the problems that are -- that americans are actually concerned about. the cost, quality and availability of health care. i suggested that president trump invite all senators to blair house to begin anew, on a bipartisan approach to health care. unfortunately the president said, i wasn't serious. mr. president, try me. the minute you make the inv

ben sass, a lot of people brought up ben sass looking slightly uncomfortable.ghtly uncomfortable. he didn't express regret or he didn't really respond verbally in the moment. and listen, i think it's -- people are condemning him, he didn't condemn it. i think that was bill maher's moment. it wasn't up for ben sass to respond. it was bill maher's show. i hate that word but i don't know how i would react to it. my stance on the word is it should be used officially. journalists should be able to use it. if you come on and say bill maher and say house "n" word, and it doesn't have the impact. if someone in a court case says the "n" word, it's not what they said. if you don't understand the impact of that word, then you shouldn't be using it. if you do understand the impact of the word, then you probably should not be using it. so i don't like it in music. i know it's different in art. i'm not the word police. that's a very tricky subject. but i don't think that people should just be willy-nilly using that word. and i think sometimes it gives people license to use i

told, ben sass he should visit nebraska more. the senator made a joke about having mahr come work in the fields. which mahr made a joke saying he was a house n word. hbo called comments inexcusable, tasteless and removed the segment from any repeat airings. after returning home, senator sasse, tweeted. here's what i wish i'd been quick enough to say in that moment. hold up, why would you think it's okay to use that word. >> tweeted this of maher and kathy griffin under fire. cornell william brooks, said great comedians make us think and laugh. when our humanity is the punchline. >> late this afternoon. maher apologized. last night was a particularly long night as i regret the word i used in the banter of a live moment. the word was offensive and i regret saying it and i am very sorry. >> on the peninsula today, celebrating the smallest aircraft. some of the biggest fans, the smallest children, we'll take you to the biggest little air show. >> winds gusting over 20 miles per hour in spots. and that wind is going to warm us up in t

garrett, i'm glad we played all of what ben sass had to say about this. because this is remarkably complicated. a little bit cynical and highly political t. point is if you replace, repeal without replacing, you fulfill a campaign promise but you lose health care. >> that's right. and this congress already has a very full calendar the rest of the year. there is a lot to get done. you are saying, let's take two incredibly divisive and complicated votes instead of just one. this is more likely a distraction than a policy action here. when you had this letter from ben sass, he has been quiet, hasn't really weighed in, agreed to by the president and rand paul i think we can put up on the screen here, the junior senator from kentucky says he spoke to senate leadership about this. they agree, keep working on repeal this idea of replacing or repeal first replace later. that's not been the republic strategy and you hear kristen talk about the white house strategy. this is mitch mcconnell's building and caucus he's the one that will set the senate strategy, it wil

ben sass, a lot of people brought up ben sass looking slightly uncomfortable.now if we can show it but not listen to it. there it is, looking slightly uncomfortable. he didn't express regret or he didn't really respond verbally in the moment. and listen, i think it's -- people are condemning him, he didn't condemn it. i think that was bill maher's moment. it wasn't up for ben sass to respond. it was bill maher's show. and i don't know how i would react even as a black person, and i hate that word. i don't know how i would react to it. my stance on the word is it should be used officially. journalists should be able to use it. if you come on tv and say bill maher says the "n" word, and it doesn't have the impact. if someone in a court case says the "n" word, it's not what they said. if you don't understand the impact of that word, then you shouldn't be using it. if you do understand the impact of the word, then you probably should not be using it. so i don't really like it in music. i know it's different in art. i'm not the word police. that's a very tricky subj

bottom line is this proposal from ben sasse may not have much traction.a letter that was sent to the president and to mitch mcconnell, actually, asking mcconnell to cancel or truncate the august recess so that the senate cannot only get its business done in regards to health care reform, but also a budget resolution which they need to adopt to get on to tax reform. there's been a lot going on behind the scenes, neil. the one last thing, people are upset as you are about adele not touring. i'm canceling my electric kazoo tour, and i know you'll be heartbroken about that. neil: someone's making light about the adele thing. i'll point out we were up 78 points, then the news came that adele -- [laughter] all right. we're up 73 or 4, but i'll tell you, just watch it. when they hear, it's not going to go down well. adam, thank you very, very much. adam shapiro. making his last appearance on this show. all right. we've got this notion among republicans that they really want to move on this, but same as before, right? they can't agree how to move. and now you hav

some insight from senator ben sasse. he pitched an idea to the president. shortly after, went on "fox and friends" to talk about itd. it's a show the president often watches. shortly after that, the president's tweet came out. i'm told the senator talked about the idea. the white house was intrigued by it. the president seemed to support it. the element is what this means. the idea the republicans could get the necessary votes on a straight repeal bill, they decided that wouldn't work. that's why they shifted in the first place. if it did, it would take 60 votes so you would need democrats, which would make that more complicated. what senator sass was pitching was a repeal bill, delay on implementati implementation for a year to try to do replace. you noted the numbers. the cbo released a score of what a straight repeal bill would mean. by 2026, fewer people would be covered, premiums would go up 50% to 100%. if you remove it to the subsidies, all those things would come out and be problematic for the markets. even if there is a transition period, a lot of

it comes from a letter from ben sass who tweeted out his support. on to say he supports this, too. that is mitch mcconnell's job and he made it very clear they're emotionally interested in fornled a consensus around doing these two things simultaneously. it is what donald trump and rand paul supported back last year. they have a huge problem if they separate it. the last time they scored a straight separation it would be 30 million plus people without insurance. then they have to go back to the house they already made one really difficult vote and said nevermind, let's start over and vote on this. >> thank you, i appreciate it, thank you very much, happy fourth of july weekend. joining me now, jonathan cohen whose book "sick," the untold story of america's health care crisis and the story of the people that pay the price. and also with us, he served as health care advisor for the romney campaign. now president for the foundation of research for equal opportunity. the president said he would repeal it and replace it. just repealing it, would that be

nebraska senator ben sasse is sounding the alarm, saying it majority leader mitch mcconnell cannot reach a deal on health care by july 10th, it's time for another option. he sent a letter to president trump today. in it, he expressed concern that republicans will fail to pass make any meaningful bill or will past something that propped up obamacare writing, "we can and must do better than either of these, both because the american people deserve better, and because we promise better." >> what i am recommending that we give comfort to the american people by repealing the maximum amount of obamacare we can but add a one-year delay before that would be effective so that there is an action forcing events so we get to work. >> g.o.p. leadership continues to see if it can get its original plan across the finish line. >> there will be various proposals, pieces submitted to the cbo to get their feedback, know what the impacts are going to be both with respect to coverages and costs and that sort of thing. >> democrats continue taking aim at the g.o.p.'s effort to scrap obamacare, suggesting it c

ben sass tweeted, please just stop. this isn't normal. it's beneath the dignity of the office. and other people spoke out against it. but what i'm interested in, chris is, does this go beyond 140 characters or standing at a podium and saying something? you remember during the campaign when he went after the judge who is of mexican heritage but is an american, i think the house speaker said it's the definition of racism. right? so everyone is coming out and condemning him in his own party but they won't sen cucensure hi warn him or hold him accountable in any real sense. does this go beyond 140 characters or is just that? they make a statement and keep moving? >> i think they make a statement and keep moving. the levers to censure a president in any meaningful way there just aren't that many. they're not going to start impeachment proceedings over a tasteless tweet. they're just not. short of that, the voters elected him. i don't think that's a defense for this, frankly. that was -- well, they knew what they were getting. you know, that doesn't fly with me, necessarily. he is wh
