joining us dick durbin and john barrasso, who helped pass the pram. senator durbin, let me picked up where secretary price left off. is there a single democratic senator that you can advise who might vote for this plan? >> no, not as written. i will tell you two things from your interview with secretary price. i asked him ten days ago and a hearing before a committee, and have you seen the republican plan, a part of the discussion? he said he hadn't seen at all. this is the man responsible for implementing it, so we are going to vote this week on changing the health care system for america without any public hearings, without the publication of the bill, without any discussion debate, and then we have this expedited amendment process. it is really disgraceful. >> brit: i understand your procedurals, but let's talk a little bit about what's in the measure into the plan as it was announced this week with 142 judgment, to get some democrats to come over and vote for this plan? >> take repeal off the table. the other thing that wasn't mentioned in the ear

bill to the floor for a vote several republicans oppose a peer who will look ahead with dick durbin and john -. but first you have tom price with us. welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thank you it is good to be with you. >> what is in this bill for an average family worried about the cost of healthcare and wondering if they're going to be able to get and keep coverage? why should they care about this bill in why should they want this bill? >> i think the thing to appreciate is where we are headed right now is the wrong direction. we as premiums and deductibles increasing. people cannot afford them so they cannot take care. more insurers are announcing that they are not going to be able to provide coverage in 2018. this bill would provide market stability. make it so insurance companies can come back into the market and provide coverage to individuals. it would make it so that there insurance reform so that individuals have more choices. it does with mandates so you are not forced to buy something the government wants you to purchase courses you have to purchase. you get the choice as

. >> meghan: dick durbin calling on the g.o.p. to have a hearing and bring them for a debate. how are we going to get these republicans on board? >> charlie: rand paul is right about this. the idea that republicans went to repeal this thing. >> meghan: we have mike emanuel joining us live from a hill with all the latest. >> good afternoon to you. while voting on health care in the senate was postponed, some he senators the saying there is pressure to strike a deal in a hurry. >> if we don't reach agreement by friday, it's probably the end of a party effort for health care. if we don't reach it by friday, then the way forward is obamacare collapses and we find something better. >> the challenges of these nine republican senators expressed opposition to the bill as of last night. a member of the g.o.p. leadership talk this morning about trying to win most of them over. >> where and when you take the bill that we have and there are always little things you can try and attract support. we have a couple of issues that are outstanding, a couple of inches that conservatives want, a c

joins us now dick durbin of illinois. geist of evanston, illinois? >> that's right. good research there. let me ask you first about this special election in georgia g today. we've been talking about the significance and what it means if ossoff wins the democrat. do you think it's as important as some people are saying? >> well, it would be historic. for almost 40 year republicans held the seat. tom price won by 23 points. it's a strong republican district, but we have a powerful district, and we've never seen money spent like this in any congressional race. >> given the money he's raised if he can't win this race, what will it tell you? >> it's an up hill balg. the district is not democratic. we have a great candidate. he's focussed on local issue. he almost won it in the first round, and we're hoping he can pull it off in this important election today. >> good morning, senator. we've been showing some eloquent clips by people like cory booker about the health care bill and a lot of things going on in secret that people d

: congressman, another thing i saw late this afternoon after the hearing concluded that senator dick durbin, who is in the leadership among democrats in the senate, was saying that the attorney general should step down based on his testimony today, his performance in office. are you... would you go that far? >> well, i would want the pursue two things before i would be prepared to go that far. the first is to do whatever investigation we need to do to find out whether his testimony today about what happened or didn't happen at the mayflower is accurate and can be corroborated or wasn't accurate, in which case we need to consider the remedies that dick durbin talked about. but also we need to get answers to the questions about what went into the firing of director comey, and if he refuses and doesn't have a legal basis to do so, then again i think we may end up where senator durbin is. >> woodruff: at this point, just quickly, congressman, are you optimistic that congress, that you committee, the senate committee, are eventually going to get to the bottom of this? >> you know, i certainly ho

no, i do not think he is fit. >> minity whip dick durbin.hill to break down today's big testimony. among our guests will be house minority leader nancy pelosi and members of the senate intelligence committee, joe manchin and susan collins. much more ahead this morning. we're back in a moment. you totanobody's hurt, new car. but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

. >> meghan: has a democratic senator such as dick durbin say, they'd be willing to work if they drop the repeal effort. >> once we put this behind us, we need a true bipartisan effort to deal with things that need to be done to strengthen the affordable care act. there things that need to be repaired. i voted for it, i'm proud to have done it. >> meghan: i want to start with you, eric. i want to ask why should i trust the cbo score when in 2013 and estimated that 24 million people would have coverage under obamacare and in 2015, it was off? >> eric: i don't know why the trust the cbo. i don't know why we trust the cbo with any of them because i'm still -- you and i have been on board with pushing back against this g.o.p. bill. we sat here when it was released and we pushed back on it then. i don't know that this bill is that much better. i'll tell you what i do like better about this bill, the $320 billion in savings versus the hundred billion dollars with the house bill. here's the tricky part for republicans. premiums will go up in the next year and a half. what happens the next ye

cheryl: dick durbin saying the gop bill as one-sided. >> what's driving this is not health care reform. what's driving this is tax cut of about $700 billion for the wealthiest people in america and pharmaceutical companies. >> senator john barrasso helped write the bills of the planet plan eliminates taxes imposed by obamacare. >> obamacare raise taxes on every american who uses health care in america. prescription medicines, medical devices. people that buy health insurance. lauren: the congressional budget office had to release this court today. five republican senators opposed the bill which require at least 50 votes to pass to get three republicans or democrats on board. cheryl: caretaking in their heels in the gop side. the supreme court is going to be handed down its final decisions today. action is expected when president trump's travel ban. the biggest news of all would be whether the justices on the high court. anthony kennedy could announce his retirement. kennedy has been the swing vote on many of the berlin since departure. as a transverse nominee coming meal gorsuch joined

first, senate minority whip dick durbin. >> we are going to vote this week on changing the health careout any public hearings come without publication of the bill come without any discussion debate. and then you have this expedited process. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. pain is sometimes in my hands, be a distraction. right before a performance especially. only aleve has the strength to stop minor arthritis pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. this is my pain. but i am stronger. aleve. all day strong. a cockroach can survive submergede guy. underwater for 30 minutes. wow. yeah, wow. not getting in today. not on my watch. pests never stop trying to get in. we never stop working to keep them out. terminix. defenders of home. elusive. shrewd. cancer. is. smart. it pushes

dick durbin said in a statement, the nationest ranking legal authority recommended the dismissal of the director of the f.b.i., reportedly offered his resignation to the president and refused to answer questions from the senate intelligence committee. it's hard to see how he can continue to serve. speaking about the report about resignations. why didn't we hear about that today? that seems like an important point. someone could have asked him. are you ready to resign? >> what republican would bring that up? democrats don't want to bring up the resignation. they want to put him in allege orange jumpsuit for his spy activities with ambassador kislyak. >> there is no doing well with a circus like this. they are asking the same questions over and over again, knowing their colleague next to them did not get answers of those questions. so there can be video of them. it's prolific politics. i should be clear, i don't think the hearings themselves are injuring the country it's keeping them busy which means they are not passing laws harming the rest of us. kennedy: i think that's why republicans

joining us now, the senate minority whip, democratic senator dick durbin. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> what do you believe the political reality to be about whether or not there will be enough votes for a debate or a vote as soon as mitch mcconnell wants it? >> the congressional budget office is a non-partisan agency that analyzes our legislation, and tells us the impact and yesterday they said that the republican repeal bill before the senate this week would be disastrous. 22 million americans would lose their health insurance. those who are older americans of lower paying jobs would see a dramatic increase in their premiums. currently about $150 a month would go up to $500 a month, which would be virtually impossible for these low-income seniors to pay. so it is a devastating proposal, and many republicans today are really worried about going on record to support it. >> what does that mean in terms of a vote? >> it's going to be very close. mitch mcconnell, the republican leader can not afford to lose three republican senators. already we ha

i spoke to dick durbin who said we need three republicans to say no on this vote and that vote will not take place and republicans are really kind of banking on the fact they need every single vote. every single vote will count. the critical luncheon that is going to happen with the vice president where they get an idea where they are. john, you might recall last month was the big celebration with the president in the rose garden. literally, they had been bussed there to pat each other on the back, if you will. far from complete with the process. that was earlier. since then, we have heard from the president behind the scenes. a meeting with senate republicans calling this a mean version. the house version. house speaker paul ryan weighing in this morning saying, yes, the president is still on board. >> many, many times, he's excited on what we did in the house. >> you are saying he's on board then? >> he's on board. the senate has their own process. they are going to take their amendments and change the bill. big legislation like this doesn't go through the house or senate with no chan

senate office building and the office of bernie sanders an illinois senators, tammy buckworth and dick durbinthe fbi confirmed six members of congress were listed on a note found on hodgkinson after the shooting but they would not characterize that as a hit list, nor would they say who was on it. >> so no targets or an agenda to actually follow through on those six individuals. no threats. >> hodgkinson took a lot of pictures around and in the u.s. capitol, but the fbi does not believe those photos were part of surveillance of intended targets. eyewitnesses say he looked strangely calm during the shooting. >> quiet and just he wasn't saying anything. it was very quiet. the only thing you could hear out there was gunfire. >> reporter: two days before the shooting, the fbi tells us james hodgkinson told a family member back in illinois that he was thinking about coming home. who that family member was, and what the response he got was, they won't say. but when asked if that response with the shooting, the fbi, special agent in charge, said he didn't think it was fair to go that line of question

hodgkinson had visited bernie sanders' office, had communication via e-mail between tammy duckworth and dick durbinanuary and the time of the shooting. >> it appears from some of his communication close to the event that he was running out of money. he was not employed at the time of the event and was looking for some local employment. clearly, he was married for 30 years. it appears that that marriage was not going so well. he suffered, obviously, from taking some prescription medication which i'm not going to get into. and it was just a pattern of life where you could tell things were not going well. >> at this point, the investigation, the fbi does not believe that there is a connection to terrorism. >>> coming up next, president trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, jared kushner in israel, meeting with palestinian officials, attempting to restart the peace talks in the middle east. >>> and a surprising development in saudi arabia that may actually help the mideast peace process. when you're close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have mode

earlier this morning, i spoke with senator dick durbin, democrat, and asked him what can democrats possibly do, why did they wage this protest, and are they going to slow or try to slow the government down. here's his response. >> it takes three republican senators. if three republican senators say this is the wrong way to change the health care system in america, we can stop this and move toward a more constructive process. one that's more bipartisan. one that's more open. more public. so the american people know what's going to happen. >> john, some republicans are pushing back, saying that the democratic process, as you mentioned back in 2010, was not completely open. i did put that to senator durbin. he said, well, at least we had some public hearings following that bill. at least the writing of that legislation. and 25 days of debate. if you look at the calendar and republican's side, they certainly will not be offering that. it will be more in the tune of hours and not days for that to be public. but what we will see today is vice president mike pence who in the course could be a tieb

when dick durbin changes talking points i know i'm being sold a sucker's bet. what is it to repair obamacare. get rid of mandate. we can pass the bill up right now in united states senate. >> what is on jibbing shunnable to republicans and democrats is, get rid of mandate, right? you you have massive tax cuts and cutting medicaid. >> that is another lie. we are not cutting medicaid. >> of course you are. you are cutting it and capping it. >> that is not true. trish: no, no. scott. hang on. i'm going to settle this debate because once again coming down to your use of a verb, to cut, right? there is nothing in the way of cutting here. the amount of money that is being spent on medicaid is continuing to grow. and i want to simplify this for people. think about it like this. if your household, say you make $30,000 one year and you're spending $20,000, and then, the next year, maybe you make, a little bit more, but you spend a little bit less. scott, a lot of democrats would tell you, you have cut your spending, regardless of the fact, forgive me if you're spending

this morning we'll talk to five senators, democratic whip dick durbin, republican bob corker of tennesseentelligence

dick durbin is starting to look good.he guy i have mixed feelings about lindsey graham they begin to act like senators now. something trump does makes them get spiff with their job. making them want to be unlike him. >> right. at this point you think everybody in the white house is updating their linkedin page. because 's gettingangerous. it's like when mike pence -- >> what does that mn? >> like resume, on-line resume. >> linkedin and -- >> oh, yeah. >> linkedin to anybody. trying to link in to me, they don't want me to do it. >> the people are getting nervous and not only are they getting nervous but at this point if you go after rosenstein, at this point if you keep firing people, eventually the janitor is going to have to fire mueller or something else you don't want to happen. >> robert bork. >> yeah. you're going to have the situations where historically or legally you're going to run into someone who wants to fight back or says i don't want to be involved. >> you guys know, this is the toughest question, the penetr

we just listened to dick durbin talk about how if handel is defeated. it would be historic. close doesn't cut it for democrats. if they don't win here. they will likely not win in the south carolina special. does the momentum talk dissipate at that point? >> it doesn't dissipate because of how much money they had to raise last year. this is a district that should have been a complete easy walk through. i heard her talk about a special election. she is trying to pivot and spin and say, that's why i'm having such a hard time. you're having a hard time because of the person sitting in the oval office. it is going to be disappointing for democrats because their whole line is donald trump is such a mess, that we're going to start winning all these elections. it may be a longer term thing for them. what they might learn from this election is just saying that donald trump is terrible and starting to put up fresh, young democrats is not going to cut it. that is a big problem because they have to crack the message and they haven't done that yet. >> look to 2018. if republicans do pul

him on television, gathering the republican members of the house of representatives -- >> senator dick durbin, deputy leader in the house, you are hearing we heard from nancy pelosi, mitch mcconnell, chuck schumer. everybody is sounding in on this piece of legislation, you'll hear it called by different names, this is the draft of the republican legislation. >> it is and mitch mcconnell was saying don't listen to chuck schumer he hasn't seen this. it is 142 pages but remember within the last 14 or so hours, we've gotten pieces at least bullet points of having an understanding of what this reform would do, what it would look like, i don't know if kasie is still there at capitol hill -- >> reporter: i am. >> that seemed to be some statements and some procedural stuff that chuck schumer is trying to do that mitch mcconnell didn't want him to do. >> you're going to see a lot of that through the next week or so as the health care process winds through. everything in the senate, if they do something, it has to be agreed to by everybody. what chuck schumer was asking for was hey, we want 72 hours to

. >> that was senator dick durbin speaking with me this morning on "morning joe."nt is that we could save billions of health care if drug companies were barred from advertising the drugs directly marketed to consumers on tv, magazines and newspapers does he have a point $3 billion to prescription now to $45 billion far outpacing the costs. doctor, the senator's point is, people see this stuff and say, i have an itchy back i'm going to tell the doctor what i need. how serious of a problem is that do you agree we should ban direct-to-consumer advertising >> well, first of all, it's a pleasure to be on. i'm a physician and i practice internal medicine and there's a great deal of evidence out there that direct-to-consumer advertising stimulates prescriptions to be written for expensive medications, in many cases where those medications are not clinically indicated there may be lower cost options, generic drugs for conditions that aren't being advertised but what we see is when patients do bring these specific advertising directed requests into physicians, physicians in

dick durbin has been around for years and years. i've never heard a word from him. when i called his aides, they had to -- and to get me off the phone assessed as they could. host: all right. dan in illinois, thank you. tom in huntington beach, california on the republican line. going? how's it i watched the hearing today, and frankly, i'm watching this, and thinking the fbi director is pathetic. i can't believe he was ever in charge of anything. this guy doesn't even know how to respond to anything. my dad is a cop. theas telling me during hillary inquiry they went over that the fbi, the law enforcement position, is not to even make judgment like he was doing. he was making judgment calls. he was supposed to file a case or not file a case. that's already wrong. then there is 1000 active terrorist cases in this country. investigatingy why the fbi hasn't investigated these terrorists who are ready to kill us here in this country? nobody seems to want to talk about that. then you want to talk about election manipulations. what about obama when he manipulated the israe

this committee will i think, in a positive way, work with you to help make show less text 00:39:33 dick durbin -- make your service as secretary a great success. sec. devos: thank you, chairman. senator blunt senator durbin. :senator durbin: thank you very much. madam secretary, welcome. madam secretary, i think we're facing a student loan crisis in america. let me tell you why. student loan debt now is greater than credit card debt in america. the $1.3 trillion over 42 million americans owes student loan debt. in the year 2016, the number of defaults on student loan repayments increased by 14% over the previous year. the average amount that students owe when they finish college has been growing dramatically year after year after year. when i look at the trump budget, the one that you brought before us today, i can find no relief for students who are facing this debt. in fact, just the opposite is true. when you freeze the pell grant, you require students to borrow more money to complete their education. when you eliminate the federal work study program, you eliminate an opportunity for studen
