betsy mccaughey, what is health care freedom? guest: according to my column, i was explaining the purpose of last thursday's executive order byte president trump. the executive order, you can call it free at last, free at last, it enables millions of people who currently do not have insurance to buy much more affordable insurance. they are sent between a rock and a hard place. they do not get their insurance at work like most americans do. they cannot afford the hefty obama care premiums. last thursday, the executive orders that you have the freedom array ofwider policies, including the policies offering fewer benefits and lower cost. is opening the way for millions of people who are currently paying a penalty for not having obamacare compliant insurance or have gotten hardship exemptions between the two of those, 90 million peoples. many will be able to buy the short-term policies that cost about less than half of what obamacare's cheapest bronze plan costs. host: what will it cost federal government? guest: the changes on frida

i gave mword to betsy. betsy doesn't want me to know? she doesn't want anybody to know.el. so, uh... [ clears throat ] i, uh, i went to see jason when he was at the long-term care facility. not voluntarily. i was summoned. he asked you to come see him? it was right after you had been there with jake and you had told him about -- about this. he said he wanted to see it. so, what did he say after you showed it to him? oh, i didn't show it to him. i lied to hi i toldim i didn't know where it was. it's just a picture of you and your childho friend. okay, that's the thing. according to betsy... jason did have a twin, it just wasn't me. ♪ and this other boy is... jason's twin brother. ♪ we made a decent team, so if you need somebody to, like, you know, investigate stuff, poke around... actually, you know what, it might happen sooner rather than later. you got someone in mind? franco -- he gave me this strange visit when i was in a coma. how do you know who visited you when you were in a coma? sounds crazy, but i remember him being there. i can even quote back to you what he sa

the disaster that was trumpcare, i agree with betsy, it was probably part of it.the thing. just broadly speaking, joy, that makes this whole thing so galling, donald trump ran for president saying we're going to drain this swamp. secretary price was one of these people who was on record bee moaning sort of the profligate ways of washington, and he's drummed out over his use of private planes, and like playing ran thely using private planes. would you take a plane from philadelphia to new york or? i would never take a plane from philadelphia to washington. to my mind, that shows just this unbelievable disconnect between, you know, the words that they say when they're in congress and then suddenly, they are wrapped in the trappings of power and then suddenly, they see these planes and they take advantage of them. they have lost their way when their message that got them into office is completely ignored and they forget that this money they're spending isn't theirs. it's the taxpayer's. this is ultimately going to be yet another problem for the president because peop

betsy, as we've said you broke the story this morning. you point out in your piece this would be the closest known connection between the president and julian. >> that's correct. there's no indicators he was speaking on behalf of the campaign or in any capacity that was official. however, alexander mix was and is the ceo of came bridge an lit ka which paid out $4 million for the work it did on the campaign. when jared reached out to him he was -- clinton e-mails. of course those e-mails have not been released or distributed. the over churs he made were unsuccessful. as somebody who was at the top for somebody who worked for the campaign that's directly. >> you heard what they said about relying on the rnc there in their statement, is that true? >> no it's almost laughably false. we were invited down a month before the campaign, my colleague and i, in order to show off what they were doing. the idea at the time, it was trump in his twitter feed and they wanted to show off they had different sources opposing. they had a team of cambridge sc

and what betsy said is really where i go.o can't afford premiums. they pay the penalties. why shouldn't they have catastrophic care? liz: and the ones left behind will get subsidies from the government. but this is the overarching thing that's happening. the president is saying to the republican party. look, you've got to stop acting like the dogs that caught the ambulance or the car. you don't know what to do with it when you did catch it. he's saying i am taking action. i'm going to fix it. get in line behind me. here's the rector to push back on democrats are saying what the republicans want to do. will kill people. he's saying wait a second. i have small business people around me. they're telling you, the world that obamacare was hurting us and damaging us. and so he's saying what's destroying lives, it was a nightmare. so this is the rhetoric, the branding that the president is giving the gop to say to elizabeth warrens and the bernie sanders of the world we're not killing people. people will not die because the governme

i think betsy is right. the success of the trump presidency lies in large part in the hands of mitch mcconnell and if they cannot gate legislative accomplishment that a large part of it rests on mcconnell but trump is the president. look. steve bannon, since he's been outside of the white house, he's worked hard to continue and further the president's agenda. he's been doing that since he worked on the campaign and in the white house, and i do agree that mcconnell, that is a priority for him. to promote the president's agenda. but he hasn't had any successes. the president is frustrating with that. republicans are frustrated with that. steve bannon is frustrated with that. to be frank, if mcconnell cannot achieve a success, whether we're talking about tax reform or repealing and replacing obamacare, whether we're talking about many of the promises that these republicans made while they ran for office, then he's in real trouble. the president's frustrated and wants to get something done. i would imagine that'

betsy woodruff is a politics reporter of "the daily beast." mckay, it seems we've turned a corner. i don't know if it's because more things are coming out or because of the tillerson battle or because corker finally said this on the record. i feel like this perspective is essentially an open secret in washington among lobbyists, hill aides, people who report on politics. >> anybody, any reporter, betsy would agree with this i'm sure, who has spent time talking to republicans on the hill this year, has heard the sentiments expressed by corker and in much more vivid terms. you know, it is an open secret in washington. it has been for a long time. i think that a couple of things are happening. one of the reasons we're talking about it now is corker does seem genuinely alarmed or at least a lot of people on the hill i know are genuinely alarmed about trump's battle with rex tillerson and the implications that could have on north korea. and the threat of, as he says, world war iii. the other thing that's happening is a lot of republicans, you'll recall this during the election, said tha

there was such an adverse reaction to betsy devos being approved as secretary of education. i was then identified as the target they were going to go after. it was merciless, dishonest, some other interview we can talk about the fake news during this confirmation conference but i got beat up pretty bad and it made some of the more liberal republicans a little nervous. once you lose three people and you start out losing two, the people who voted for betsy weren't going to lose for me. you lose one more, the longer this went on, the more the press could focus on these distorted stories and the more nervous it made people. the press reported that i hadn't filed my papers and there must be something wrong. i filed january 1. the office of government ethics which was headed by an obama appointee wouldn't react to my papers. they sat on them for six or seven weeks. in the meantime, the press keeps beating me up, humor makes me the target, some republicans got nervous, and i didn't want the president to suffer a defeat on the senate floor that had my name attached to it. discretion

the union wrote "betsy devos says public should invest in individual students." no, we should invest in a system of great public schools for all kids. the union bosses made it clear, they care more about a system created in the 1800s than they do about students. their focus is on school buildings, instead of school kids. isn't education supposed to be about kids? education is an investment in individual students. that's why funding and focus should follow the student, not the other way around. i've been on the job now for some time. and i came into office with a core belief. it is the inalienable right and responsibility of parents to best choose the learning environment that meets their child's needs. i'm more convinced of that today. this symposium rightly squs us to consider the future of school choice. but the current reality is, the vast majority of futures in america today are less to chance, not to choice. the world got to see what many of us already knew in the film "waiting for superman." parents who want to free their child from a failing school are som

betsy, you first. tell us what you've uncovered tonight about alexander knicks who heads cambridge analytica and julian assange. >> what i learned is that knicks told associates that he reached out to julian assange during the campaign to ask julian assange, in short, to offer the services of cambridge analytica to julian assange for the purposes of publishing or distributing those 33,000 missing e-mails that republicans so badly wanted to find. alexander knicks also said, according to my sources, that julian assange rebuffed him. after i reported that, i got a comment from julian assange who told me that that was correct, that he did, indeed, rebuff outreach from cambridge analytica. in the time since my story broke, of course, the trump campaign has pushed back against it in kind of an oblique way suggested they relied more on the rnc for their data needs. however, the trump campaign paid cambridge analytica upwards of $5 million over the course of the election cycle. it's hard to distance yourself f

more passionate about the idea of steering public dollars away from traditional public schools than betsy devos. arsenic confirmation vote to become education secretary could not have been closer. it was split 50-50 with vice president pence breaking the time. so we have a lot about and controversial issues. i would be returning a bit later to moderate the question-and-answer time but for now please welcome to the john f. kennedy junior forumel professor paul peterson and secretary elizabeth devos. [applause] >> thank you for that kind introduction.t and doug elmendorf, thank you for the opportunity. the kennedy school. click one of the -- but of all of american post secondary education. professor peterson, i look forward to our conversation but i first want to recognize the significant and influential contributions to the advancement of school choice you have made over the years. to both the program on education policy and governance here at harvard and education next, few scholars have left such indelible fingerprints on this critical conversation. thank you for continuing to facilitate

good for betsy. good question.plause] acosta is leading a quiet but very effective revolution at the department of labor. he is a very able man. pay attention to him. cabinet, important conservatives like the man i met -- other day, as you high understands rural america. if you look at it demographically, rural america is becoming the new inner-city. we know where barack obama wanted money support to go. rural america is suffering. it is suffering educationally, suffering from this horrible opioid epidemic, suffering from all sorts of things. this administration understands the problems of rural america. i'm delighted to see this gentleman at the fcc. want to put in a plug for him. he understands it as well. maybe you haven't noticed, but there is great happiness and jubilation in the medical research community at the appointed of scott gottlieb at the fda. i notice doesn't normally get into our view, but this is a guy who believes that good drugs that looks very promising that show up in research should be approve

any reader -- that the devos has made that clear -- betsy devos has a that clear. reader of her speeches will draw that conclusion. ofhave to make sure fairness. there are a lot of false accusations. has been terribly attached for basically arguing for fairness. she has been called a rape apologist. jill biden compared her supporters to the nazis marching on charlottesville -- joe biden has compared her supporters to the nazis marching on charlottesville. she is the first prominent official, republican or democrat , anywhere who has taken up the cause of falsely accused students. tim is on the line from brighton, massachusetts, a college student. good morning. i havellege student, been involved in several cases as a witness, talked to administrators, and i can say absolutely that this obama era order really set up a kangaroo/witchhunt system, and it was really disheartening to be in a system where essentially, one accuser and you are out of school, and i really support what that's the devos -- betsy devos is doing. thank you. do, too. i free sheet your comments. th

from cotman to the betsy ross bridge to the earlier scene at allegheny avenue.ing a motorcycle also gone. vine street expressway by 8th street everything is open and stacked solid across town. where you join up with the normal northbound delays by the girard avenue work zone. by the lancaster avenue. that involved an overturned vehicle and has now also cleared. this one is pushed to the shoulder and caused delays, pennsylvania turnpike eastbound from norristown to fort washington and the lanes are open and single digit speeds east of valley forge. i told but this with the waze app, a crash along 78 eastbound in allentown slow with speeds in the 20s, stay up on 22 eastbound instead. and in maple shade a crash by the auto max. eastbound side and speeds like 11 miles per hour. this is what it looks like live it's backed up eastbound and stick with 70 as an alternate. one more crash is in depford by the dunkin' donuts and scoopies 2. we'll check it again in the 5:00 hour. >> i wonder if that is ice-cream. >> yes. >> all right we have to check. thank you. >>> meteoro

betsy, you look at the full statement from the trump campaign on this one. they don't mention cambridge analytica. they say we just relied on the rnc, et cetera, et cetera, and sort of dodging the key question here. how does this move the ball and to where? >> the trump campaign statement doesn't do anything to undermine the importance of the news i broke yesterday, which is that the ceo of a data analytics firm that the trump campaign paid nearly $6 million to over the course of the election reached out to julian assange and offered to help him district e-mails that this ceo may have believed were obtained by a hacker. that's a really important story. whether or not cambridge analytica was involved in the nitty gritty, in the weeds of how the trump campaign's data operation works is not relevant to this. another piece of this that is important to this is rebecca mercer, who received the e-mail, according to your reporting, is a very powerful figure in trump's orbit. rebecca mercer and steve bannon have been close for years and years, and bannon was viewed a

and it cleared out but the accident on i-95 by the betsy ross bridge is taking out one lane. >> this is mount laurel, new jersey, cleaning up a crash by 295, the police officer is taking out the center lane and big problems on the septa regional rails and warminster and doylestown lines are not running because of an accident near fern rock. >>> in willow grove 611 a crash here south of the turnpike, plenty of slowing in that vicinity as well. we'll check it again in the next half hour. >> thank you. >>> still what head on "action news" at 4:00, it's bat total win over amazon's new headquarters, we look at local proposals hoping to woo the retail giant to the town. >>> and the so-called soda tax is the subject of another protest at city hall. >>> former president george h.w. bush delivered a rare speech today calling for a rare rebuke of president trump. touched on increasing partnership and increasing american culture, both of which are getting worse and not better. >> our identity as a nation is not determined by geography for ethnicity. our politics seem more vulner shl to conspira

cnn senior political analyst, david gergen, and betsy woodruff. we all used a lot of apblg steufsteu adjectives, remarkable, stunning. but what has really changed? >> i think what has changed, john, and it's significant, is that two senators have broken in a very, very complete way that invites commentary and more criticism of the president both within the senate and among conservatives and conservative pundits around the country. i think the real issue, though, is whether corker and flake have moved from fairly reliable to unreliable allies for the president as he pursues his agenda. as you know the trump white house can't lose more than two votes in the senate in order to get something through, and now you have corker, flake, mccain, susan collins all in this -- do you have them or not? so it could give the descenters more leverage go into the negotiations ahead over tax reform, which is always contentious anyway with the tax cuts. >> it's a good point, but the question becomes will they vote against something they believe in? corker has power w

you want to head for the betsy ross instead. ben franklin bridge into south jersey expect major delays if you get on the eastbound admiral wilson boulevard. and a couple of lanes blocked for emergency construction that is not where you want to be for this afternoon's commute. we'll check it again in the 5:00 hour. >> all right, matt, thank you. >>> as we head outside a live look at mullica hill where adam is on his fall adventure. a live update on the accuweather forecast. from creamy acres. coming up next. >>> time now for the accuweather forecast go can back live to creamy acres in mullica hill. first fall adventure of the season is a good one adam. >> reporter: hey. i'm a kid at heart. what can you say here? at our creamy acres, i'm dreving cold aren't in the back am i doing okay? >> yes. >> am i going too slow or too fast? >> fast. >> you want me to go fast or slow? >> fast all right. you are a big boy this is hard to go fast. this is a peddle cart one of the activities you can do with your kids and you see the other kids th

. >> joined now, betsy, we're seeing in dribs and drabs. people who follow this come across your name as one of the reporters breaking these stories. that investigation is proceeding. podesta news shows that interviews confirmed with reince priebus and sean spicer show that. what else are you seeing? is it relevant if the president will testify? >> it's relevant to ask if the president could be in on this. in the past, waco debacle, had a phone conversation to interview then president bill clinton. there's precedent for moouler to speak with trump. can't predict it. over the last week and likely for next two weeks, current and former white house staff are sitting down for interviews with mueller and his team and that's a legally risky situation. likely to be fbi agents present for the interviews. if any of the white house staff answering questions deliberately lie could face legal liability. some folks close to the white house want to suggest this podesta news means mueller changed focus, reality is it's complex, bigger than most reports ca
