i'm not surprised that chris murphy said this.e making this about this fight about government shouldn't be involved in delivery of health care at all. >> what about the politics of this? if they come to the table and pass, it's going to be labeled trump care. if it's something that's successful, if they help get some sort of health care legislation passed even if it is a fix, is that something the democrats are willing to be a part of? >> i think you put your finger on it. just like labeling it obamacare, made it politically toxic for republicans, imagine what democrat facing any kind of re-election is going to want to put his or her name on something called trumpcare. i was talking with chris murphy in the green room, he made the point, he doesn't think it's gone entirely even though this current iteration might be going away. both parties have an imperative to have this come back. i think it's going to be a war over labeling it and war over the narrative that determines whether there's a real political viability for either party

does chris murphy have a point in that? >> i'm not aware of what happened or didn't happen in the senate processes. what i can tell you is in the house, we had numerous hearings through our committees of jurisdiction. we have talked about fixing obamacare for years, since i have been here, four and a half years, we have been talking about many of the problems. i actually passed bills that are signed into law that provided fixes to the affordable care act so we had an open process. the problem you see, though, is that a narrative wants to be built by the opposition that we are not allowing open access, we are not allowing opportunities to discuss. frankly, what i haven't seen from the other side in the house is a willingness to actually fix the broken system that leaves millions of americans without health insurance or with insurance they can't afford to use. >> congressman, do you realistically see the house voting on a brand new bill if that's what the senate sends back and goes to conference? >> well, we always -- when we

joining us now is senator chris murphy, democrat of connecticut, a member of the senate health committee. senator murphy, i know you're right in the thick of it. thank you for taking the time to talk to us tonight. >> thanks, rachel. >> are you expecting to be up all night? how are you expecting this to go this evening? >> we're going to have a vote around 9:30 on the first amendment that will be for this evening and then we'll start voting again tomorrow. as you noted, the rules, now that we're on the bill, allow for unlimited amendments to be offered. and because we don't yet know what this bill actually is, we don't know whether it will uninsure 23 million or 32 million or 16 million, our ability to offer amendments may be the only thing that allows americans, like those disabled americans who were here today fearful of their lives, to analyze the text once it's released. so i'm preparing over 100 amendments in part because the time that we have to debate those amendments may be the only time that my constituents, people that are very sick and need health care, are going to actually h

year with the russian lawyer at trump tower, jared kushner is facing pointed questions today from chris murphy of connecticut, asking why for months now, jared kushner has allowed the white house, including white house spokespeople, and vice president mike pence, and senior advisers like kellyann conway, why he's allowed all of these people around him to insist publicly for months that there were definitely no meetings with russian officials during the campaign, when jared kushner knew there had been, because in at least one case he was at that meeting. allowing other white house officials, including vice president mike pence, to make false statements about whether or not they were contacts with russians? isn't that what mike flynn was ostensibly fired for? so jared kushner is facing serious questions tonight about why he stood by and allowed the white house and senior white house officials to repeatedly lie about something he had firsthand information about. he's also facing serious questions about whether he should lose his security clearance which would allow him to operate in his job as wh

but as another democratic representative, senator chris murphy said, just a few weeks ago, it is increasingly- the obsession almost with russia and hacking has distracted democrats from looking more seriously at some of the fundamental issues that are a problem in this country. and i think it is hurting democrats in that context. i also think, again, come back to cyber hacking. instead of the continuing escalation a about sowing distrt and undermining our democratic institutions -- by the way, i think we are resilient country. let us focus on a cyber treaty, which the obama administration did not participate in. there was one offer. i come back, sam nunn's letter coming talks about the need to lay down cyber rules of the road. i had to get into tit for tat, but there's an interesting carnegie mellon study that shows the u.s. has interfered in over 80 foreign elections between 1946 and 2000. that does not mean the russian interference -- it is inappropriate. but let us not, you know, let us not police the world there militarily or morally because we need to get our own house in order. i think

but chris murphy, a democrat from connecticut -- yes, a democrat -- came out this morning on "morning joe" and said if jared kushner does not get fired over this, it is an absolute double standard because mike flynn got fired for ties like this. what do you make of that comparison? >> well, yeah. also i think it gets to the bigger question here, where does it go from here? is there going to be another shoe drop? one of the issues raced by all this here is the benefit of the doubt to the extent the trump administration had any benefit of the doubt on this whole question of russia, i think they've lost that with the revelations in the last couple days. the months of insistence that there were no conversations of any kind, no communications. now you've seen it, you see wit don junior, now the defense as well. it's limited. this guy is this crackpot publicist who is involved, not quite what it looks like but it raises the question of really? did donald trump not hear about any of this at all until just a couple days ago or will there be a new revelation that he did, there was some other c

last night, republicans had just released their bill, and democrats like chris murphy were irate that vote on it was in just two hours. >> this is nuclear grade bonkers, what is happening here tonight. >> reporter: hawaii democrat mazie hirono, now being treated for kidney cancer, added a personal dimension. >> i lost a sister to pneumonia when she was only two years old in japan. she died at home, not in a so i know how important healthcare is. what i don't get is why every single senator does not know that-- know that. >> reporter: a frustrated mike enzi, republican of wyoming, said democrats offered only complaints. >> and i started hearing, "it's not perfect. it's not perfect." well, where are the suggestions for making it as near perfect as possible? >> reporter: and so shortly after midnight, a first vote began, with democrats somber and in their seats. on the opposite side, slowly- arriving republicans were more social. but something notable-- alaska senator lisa murkowski walks over to arizona's john mccain, and he signals a thumbs down. murkowski, along with susan collins of

chris murphy of connecticut saying there is, if he's not fired, a double standard in this administration, in this white house. that is favoring the trump -- the trump family members. he the son-in-law of the president. we reached out to the white house to see if he still has his security clearance. broadly speaking they don't comment on this. i was told they will have no comment by speaking to a white house official when i was anchoring msnbc a short time go, they said nothing has changed in terms of the situation. while he and his wife are out in sun valley, idaho, now, the controversy surrounding him is still swirling back here in washington. >> we'll be standing by for the news conference as well. mitch mcconnell, on capitol hill, is briefing his republican colleagues, his caucus on a new version of the senate health care bill, done in secret, some big changes authored by, we're told, texas senator ted cruz. casey hunt has the latest from capitol hill. >> we are sifting through, sure, we are sifting through this new draft, which has just been released online as republican senators hud

chris murphy and jeff burkely have each said they have 100 amountedments to offer, chuck schumer may have thrown a wrench into their plans last night. >> since the beginning of this debate, we've just been taking votes on amendments to a piece of dead legislation. what kind of process is this? until we see the real bill, democrats will offer no further amendments. >> so you heard it there. while democrats may not be offering any amendments, the senate is still expected to vote on individual health care measures that may then be cobbled together to what's being called a "skinny repeal." that option, however, is being criticized by ten bipartisan governors who were calling on democrats and republicans to work together on health care reform. skblievgts there is some good news out of washington this morning. house majority whip steve scalise has been discharged from a washington hospital. the hospital released a statement saying scalise was "in good spirits and is looking forward to his return to work once he completes his intensive in patient rehabilitation." the state also said scalise

so, you know, we saw chris murphy, a democratic senator, i believe he tweeted earlier today or yesterday that, you know, that would be the apocalypse because there's nothing, again, nothing to go back to. >> if that's the case, hugh, and mcconnell is stuck with this, trying to figure out how to make this work, he's compared the senate negotiations to a rubix cube. i bought the book when i was a kid and figured it out but it wasn't easy. >> a rubix cube is easier than this. but there were two important developments yesterday, stephanie. one, in nevada, 14 out of 17 counties received word that there will be no option, zero choices, for individuals and small businesses, so dean heller, who had already torched himself with his speech is in truly deep water, "the new york times" reporting this afternoon that there's an enormous backlash from republicans against dean heller. he's got to find a way to get back on the gop plan. and the second thing is that ted cruz has offered an amendment to the discussions underway. it's written up at the weekly standard.com right now that would allow all of t

in that 2016 meeting and this morning i thought it was very interesting what democratic senator chris murphy said with regard to jared kushner and why he shouldn't get a security clearance taken away by but he should get fired. >> he was potentially compromised inside the white house. if he doesn't get fired then there's clearly a double standard. michael flynn was fired because he was compromised in the sense that he had met with the russian government. he had not disclosed that to his superiors and thus he could be in a position to be corrupted. it appears that the same thing occurred here. >> mr. rucker, it's true. that would be a double standard. >> well, look, i don't think jared kushner is getting fired any time soon. he's the president's son-in-law. and one of the most powerful advisers in the west wing with a pretty influential foreign policy portfolio. he doesn't seem to be going anywhere. i don't think that's any retaliatory action that the president plans to take. unless i'm missing it in the reporting. >> does that mean that jared is hanging on to the security clearance? >> it do

democrat chris murphy alone says he has 100 ready to propose. >> woodruff: so lisa, tell us more about how this is going to work. the republicans are saying, for example, there is going to be a vote on straight repeal. when would that be? >> this is going to be important to follow the process. votes could happen as soon as tonight. i'm told by sources in both parties that's unlikely. here's how it's likely to work: you will see two large amendments being proposed near the top of this voting scheme. one will be the straight repeal bill. the other will be some version of the senate bill we've seen crafted recently. both of those are expected to fail. after that, we will see perhaps a day or many hours of a flurry of different amendments. those will generally require 60 votes. it will be hard for those to pass, and in the very end, judy, we will see probably this skinny repeal, a pared down version of the bill. it's not clear how they will get the votes for that. >> woodruff: so this was an extraordinary day. as you showed in your piece, you were there. what does this drama say about the

senator chris murphy, democratic, connecticut. sits on the senate foreign relations committee. senator, multiple choice here, okay. donald trump jr.'s e-mail trove. the latest of which was released today. collusion, treason, or stupidity. >> is there a and c or a, b and c as part of the -- listen, i am not an expert on the law of treason. it certainly looks like collusion to me. it's absolutely stupidity. what we know is that we only know a portion of this story. you have to assume at this point that there was a consistent and perhaps vast series of contacts between the trump campaign and the russian government. you have to assume that we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg given the fact that this information only comes out when news sources discover it, not when members of the trump administration are asked. and i think that ultimately you may see a series of contacts that may rise to the level of treason. i don't know if this is it, but i know this is not the end of the revelations. >> senator, donny deutsche. we're starting to wonder when on the republican side of the ai

a plan chris murphy said to repeal obamacare without a replacement would kill insurance markets.onnell's announcement, and it is important to note, mcconnell's announcement comes as some republican senators are calling for a new strategy on health care debate. senator john mccain, who is in arizona recovering from an operation, called on republicans to work with democrats and with governors to have open hearings and a more bipartisan debate on health care policy. more will see if something bipartisan committee achieved because donald trump has found it difficult to appeal to both wings of the party. -- is a possible for this to be successful in any way? what is the chance of success for repeal now and replace later? jackie: it has not garnered a lot of support in the senate among republicans except for the most conservative members. in 2015, the senate was successful in passing such a plan, at this was under president obama and under the expectation that obama would veto such a bill, and he did. this scenario is different, --ause there is a president a republican president in the
