there's no way you can vote in support the graham/cassidy bill. just to give you an example, the carzack gives a billion dollars -- okay. this was a big achievement in congress today, a billion dollars. the graham/cassidy bill takes $9 billion from just the state of ohio between now and 2026. 200,000 people accessing treatment in ohio will be thrown off and told to pull themselves up by their boot straps. this is unacceptable in the united states of america. we have an epidemic that needs to be dealt with in a comprehensive way from law enforcement to prevention to treatment to overdose issues. all the way down in a comprehensive way. we have a bill congresswoman martha fudge and i to get rid of the imd exemption, which means basically if you get federal funding you can't have a facility that allows more than 16 people if you're dealing with mental health or addiction issues. the recommendation coming from governor chrissie. >> to see this and other events on the topic go to the video library, search opioid epidemic. we'll leave the last bit of thi

graham-cassidy bill is great. ends obamacare." so trump managed to claim three falsehoods in there. overs preexisting conditions. it doesn't. graham-cassidy bill is great. it's not. and rand paul is a friend of mine. he is? [ laughter ] >> his visceral response to attack people on their appearance, short, tall, fat, ugly. my goodness. that happened in junior high. are we not way above that? and would we not all be worried to have someone like that in charge of the nuclear arsenal? >> mr. trump. >> i never attacked him on his look. and believe me, there is plenty of subject matter right there. [ laughter ] that i can tell you. >> seth: plenty of subject matter right there. trump knows more about rand paul's appearance than he knows about his own health care bill. in fact, his rand paul burn book is 2,074 pages. [ laughter and applause ] so republicans are racing to jam through a health care bill that would destroy medicaid and strip coverage for millions of people, including those with preexisting conditions. could republicans really be shameless enough to pass this monstrous bill? >>

this one's called the "graham- cassidy bill." and south dakota senator john thune paid one of its authors the ultimate compliment, saying, "i just told bill cassidy he's kind of the grave robber. this thing was six feet under, and i think he's revived it." actually-- this is interesting-- grave robbing is a big part of the new plan. you know, get yourself a new hip or some dentures, or something like that. it offers complete shovel coverage. but the g.o.p. needs to move fast because, due to senate rules that i refuse to learn they're facing a september 30 deadline. it's a race against the clock. they've got ten days to overhaul the healthcare system, or everybody lives. ( laughter ) in fact-- ( cheers and applause ) >> jon: they all lived. i'm ready to live. i'm ready. >> stephen: so, thank you. we're all gonna die! in fact, this is being done in such a rush that "the congressional budget office won't estimate the full effects of obamacare repeal until after the vote deadline." well, that there is just good health care. like when

i put the question to the president this afternoon that he's plans to support the graham cassidy bill in the senate went nowhere. the house voted on it. went nowhere in the senate twice. looks like it's going nowhere on the senate until the new year. he issued the executive order getting rid of the subsidies. what is his healthcare plan? listen to the exchange here. >> at this point, what is your healthcare plan, sir? >> well, if you look at insurance companies and you'll take a good strong look at the numbers, you'll see since the formation of obamacare, they're up 400%, 450%, 250%. 300%. they've made a fortune. obamacare is a disaster. it's virtually dead as far as i'm concerned. i predicted that a long time ago. it's a concept that doesn't work. >> so the president says that obamacare is virtually dead but for the next little while, it will live to see the light of day. this new deal between senator alexander and senator murray would restore the csrs to insurance companies for two years around allow states flexibility in how the money is used. it would allow flexibility by the stat

yeah you have to blame the graham cassidy bill for that because they wasted so much time with that that was the time they should have been spending boating to reauthorize the children's health insurance program that seems important yeah very important. there wasn't a chip which covers families who don't qualify for medicaid but they were too poor to afford private health care so not only is this a travesty that nine million kids are going to have a lapse in care but it's also a reminder that ship is not a permanent program like congress houseboat like every couple of years like to. figure out whether or not they want to yad to give kids health insurance really. really when a bunch of white men have to sit down to talk away it's not as easy it's easy for us. you know we sit around the table we talk about an issue like this and it seems you know we actually get somewhere but when you put a bunch of old white men politicians in a room it's a lot harder. struggles in the sometimes you think it's subject to partisan politics so you're not going to have everybody on the same page apparently a

that is what that graham cassidy bill was all about. >> eric: that failed. ld that be different and would that pass muster with the republican establishment? look, you are short circuiting mitch mcconnell. he is cut out of this process. the president is saying i'm going with the democrats. >> well, isn't that a message for republicans? by speaking directly to chuck schumer, is he speaking pretty directly as well to the republican party. they have failed to get something done. he has been pretty consistent that he is upset with him about this. they have had seven years to prepare an obamacare repeal and replace. it gets in front of them and they went to what is it four earnest efforts to do that this year and all of them failed. which means the president has no choice but to turn to the democrats now and get something out of there. >> eric: here is what the president tweeted and let me read what you mr. schumer said. the president said i called schumer yesterday to see if the democrats want to healthcare bill. obamacare badly broken. big premiums, who knows, w

i was impressed with the fact that he was willing -- he understands the bill -- the graham cassidy bill doesn't take effect until 2020 or 2021. what do you do in the meantime? when you don't want to do is create chaos and hurt millions of americans by skyrocketing premiums. some counties where they can buy insurance, the congressional budget office has said that without the patient -- payments, up to 60 million americans might live in counties where they can buy insurance. toos is a four lane highway a single-payer solution. it's a birthday present from birth -- bernie sanders. i think the president is shrewd to understand that there's a gap here that needs to be filled. the only way to fill it is by bipartisan agreement on the one we suggested yesterday. alluded the fact that there are sometimes questions that you're the president mastery of policy, but in health care, you believe he doesn't know what he's doing. tell us about that. >> i think i just did. in september, he cleared the way so he can deal with the cassidy bill. he recognized there's a gap in this case, and worked with me

that is the cassidy graham bill that failed in the senate by one vote. he's saying there's votes now to pass his after tax reform in the new year. we don't know exactly who he's talking about, who the votes are he has. as our math is, the votes are not there yet. however, this short term fix is lamar alexander and patty murray. and that is to continue the subsidy payments for obamacare to shore up the health insurance market to give states a little bit more flexibility, but make it a short term deal. in other words, two years, one year, two years. we don't have exactly the specifics because they haven't rolled it out yet. but we do know, according to peter doocey, that they do have a deal. the news out of the row garden is that the president signed on to that deal and that the white house is involved the structure of it means the president gives its blessing and that's going to pass. >> dana: if this deal were to pass and the president signed it, that would be the first time these subsidies are written in law. the whole controversial has been about presi

graham cassidy. people said this was a partisan bill. listened two states represented by democratic senators but i could also list maine, florida, wisconsin, indiana and others would do far better under graham cassidy than the status quo and represented by democratic senators. >> 2018, the same congress, the same players, you don't have the votes. >> a couple things, some people complaining about that complaint about the process. we now have more time for a better process. i would like to think we could socialize it among our democratic colleagues, they've shown willingness to give a little bit on the aca and so they have given a little bit and this deal senators murray and alexander worked out show maybe now, they say my state gets billions more for working families, families who cannot afford insurance now. maybe i need to look at this more closely not through the lens of partisan politics, but there is a lens of what is best for the families in my state. if that is the case. >> i will come to you in 30 seconds, what difference did jim

graham-cassidy. he posted this as a partisan bill. i just listed tuesday prevacid by democratic senators what i could also list maine, florida, wisconsin, indiana and others that would do far better under graham-cassidy than under status quo and they represented by democratic senator. >> 2018 i'm mostly the same players, you don't have the votes. what you do but that? >> some of the people complaining about voting know if you will complain about the process. we now have more time for a better process. i would like to think that we could socialize it among our democratic colleagues. they have finally shown a willingness to give a bit on the aca, and so, so that given a little bit and this deal senators murray and alexander worked out, so maybe now as they say well, my state gets billions more for working families. families who cannot afford insurance now. maybe i need to look at this more closely, not through the lens of partisan politics but through the lens of what's for the best of families in my state if that's the case we think we

and the president once again threw his weight behind the graham-cassidy bill, block grants to the states that the schedule is ambitious one. try to do the budget now. taxes after that, and then graham-cassidy in early part of the year. the second bit of news that the president made indeed confirming, trish, that he is down to a handful of candidates for the federal reserve chair. that being of course janet yellen an gary cohn, who is the top economic advisor but jerome powell, a current fed board member and jon -- john warsh. that decision is expected before the president heads off to asia. trish? trish: thank you, blake. we have ned ryun, steve cortes. good to have you both here. you're first dibs here. you're live in chicago with me. what is your reaction with the president trying to explain health care saying obamacare is virtually dead? >> welcome, trish. we have gorgeous october day. i'm sure you're here to dig the cubs out of the 0-2 deficit in the nlcs. no, turning back to business and politics, the obamacare is disaster. he tried to do it right way on capitol hill. unfortunately

>> i will say the graham/cassidy bill is far better for states like virginia, missouri, maine, floridago down a few others. represented by democratic senators. it's not a partisan in that sense bill. on the other hand -- a lot of quote/unquote blue states. states with democratic governors do get hurt. be realistic. >> you say a lot. the ones that expand medicaid, even those end up at the end, we held harmless almost all. and we did it koconsciously. we don't mean to hurt folks. i'm a doctor. i don't consider democrats or republicans. i consider them americans. we can say the status quo is not sustainable. right now a family making $82,000, a family of three, 401% of the federal poverty level will not be able to afford insurance on the exchanges. that insurance being $30,000. before these latest premium increases. now, the status quo is not sustainable. we have to do something for those families. some folks just don't care about them. i do. we've got to do something i think graham/cassidy does. >> do you think it is easier for you to get your bill a hearing your bill an opportunity to p

we were making progress in the senate with alexander and murray, and when the graham/cassidy bill cameorward, that halted that. we can go back and put that funding in place, and i don't think the president going after his own party is helpful either. he's alienating them, and i think affecting the ability of both democrats and republicans to sort it out. >> the court did say it's not legal, correct? >> without congressional appropriations. >> he is stopping something which the court determined not to be legal. to make concessions from the democrats, it would be more state flexibility. what would you be willing to give up in terms of obamacare standards in order to get these subsidies? >> the standards of providing essential health benefits is not something we want to give up, routine checkups and maternity care, and if you have skimpy plans he wants people to have, it will cost all of us more. what we are willing to negotiate, i believe, would be increasing the risk corridors in the high risk pools, and that's something republicans and democrats agree on. but come to the table. also on

. >> the president continues to say he has the votes for the graham/cassidy bill.s. we're not sure where he is getting the additional tphoets votes. but there are not those votes in place. we want to talk about this military story and move past what was said to a widow relayed from awe congresswoman. i do want to ask you about the president. when asked about all of this, how he calls the families of troops's families, how, when and why. but this part about general john kelly, his chief of staff, who also lost his son in the battle field, this a bit controversial this morning. listen. >> you could ask general kelly, did he get a call from obama? you could ask other people. i don't know what obama's policy was. >>> let's go back to the beginning when sara murray just asked the president about the details of the four green berets lost in niger and why the president hadn't addressed it. what is his reaction to all of these questions tell you? >> i think it tells me that he has a chip on his shoulder about this. that the idea -- you know, it's uncomfortable for him. he'

you might remember the graham-cassidy bill that was supposed to repeal and replace parts of obamacarell, now president trump and lindsey graham, the coauthor of the legislation that did not ultimately happen are headed together to an unknown destination, what is this all about? it might have something to do with what melissa and the panel were just talking about. so at a time when the president is battling other republican senators, bob corker among them, lindsey graham is flying off to an unknown destination. we will find out more. crews are cleaning up after nape swept through the south, why there breathing a sigh of relief as a look at the damage. to end the standoff with north korea, raising concerns in congress, a former national security advisor weighs in. coming up next. >> there is no viable military option. i think it would be horrific. we have to -- they have to be fully engaged. and hey, unmanaged depression, don't get too comfortable. we're talking to you, cost inefficiencies, and data without insights. and fragmented care, stop getting in the way of patient recovery and p

see my colleague here, senator graham who i like very much, he was a co-sponsor of my bipartisan health reform bill. look at what happened at the last hearing. senator cassidy came in, not senator graham, but senator cassidy said we're going to protect people with pre-existing conditions. all the experts said, no, you're not. those costs for those people are going to go up. senator cassidy said, no, they're going to get help. i said let's turn to the cancer society. these are the people with the facts. they looked right at senator cassidy and said no, senator, you're not protecting people with pre-existing conditions. so it seems to me that we ought to be saying no to slashing medicaid, no to an age tax, no to an approach that will hurt people with pre-existing conditions and go back to kind of bipartisan sort of effort like we saw in the previous congress that senator graham and i were part of. we know there are member here who want to work in a bipartisan way. if all you're saying is we're going back to repealing and replacing the affordable care act, it is the same bad movie we have seen. people do not like it. and i would urge my colleagues to support t

bills. despite the promises -- >> opposes it right now. >> this is not sufficient enough. >> lindsey graham, senator cassidy, when the president supported their legislation, they're co-sponsors now. the graham cassidy bill is entirely different, wolf, that's what the president is talking about. >> sometimes you can't get everything you want, you've got to accept what's realistic. >> wolf, there's a lot more than we want. i think what the american people deserve to really lower cost is to eliminate and get rid of the mandates that obamacare has to eliminate the taxes. that will lowing the prices. we're not even talking about that yet. >> if these subsidies don't continue over the next year or two in that short term as the president likes to call it, short term effort, premiums are going to go up for a lot of poor people. >> the president has been advertising for nine months, he was going to get rid of these subsidies. if the prices have already been priced in. insurance companies have already priced that into the plans for next year. i'm sure there's a lot of people who will be shouting this is what we need to do because they are -- they

the bill as it has changed, the so-called graham cassidy bill, what i have tried to get my subcommittee staff to do is prepare. we do not know completely what the bill is at this point but tried to prepare a side by side for members of the house. you know what you voted for in may, or these are the things that were the same, these are things that are different. people will be able to in a short period of time, work through the process of is this something that i can support or that i cannot support? the house unfortunately, will not have a great deal of time. the senate, if it does both, it will be midweek or later. the senate budget committee or the senate parliamentarian has said this must happen by the 30th at midnight. the house strictly speaking could vote on this the following week but i think everyone is anxious to get the senate, if it passes let's get evaluated. it will not take a lot of time. you will have to decide yes or no are you in or out. and it is really where we will be. >> congressman henry cuellar, you're pretty much considered one of the democrats most approachable

they actually know do have the votes and wasn't clear exactly what bill he was talking about, but it's possible that it's the graham-cassidycongress was unable to pass that. what happens in your experience if nothing happens between now and then? what will happen to people's premiums and the whole system? >> if alexander-murray bill passes, i think we will see a 20% reduction of premiums for the middle class. i think we should keep it as simple as that. both on the left and right, people have an idea of what the world looks like. we govern well, we covered with compromise. if we don't do that, i think we will end up where we are essentially saying we don't like it, so let's just keep shooting at it and it will get worse and worse and worse for people. i don't think people expect them to govern, and i think we can take up in the new year long-term reforms of whatever type. there's no question that there are elements of every law that need to be working better. but right now, we have a chance to depoliticize things for a moment and get everybody on board that's actually good for people. doctors, hospitals, patient groups, th

the graham-cassidy bills turns this over in 2020. there's no way to transition from obamacare to a block grant in a year. two, three years will be required. what do you do in the interim? create the least amount of chaos as possible. the president knows that. paul ryan is for that. he is for graham-cassidy. >> president mitch mcconnell? does he have the juice to get this through in the senate? >> here's what we have to decide. is the house in a position to make changes until we can replace obamacare with graham-cassidy. if they're not in that mindset, there's nothing that mitch mcconnell can do. the president is in that mindset. he's willing to continue the payments until we replace obamacare with graham-cassidy if he can get flexibility for the payments in the interim. not throw good money after bad. clearly alexander murray is not selling in the house. can senator johnson come up with a better deal? we're talking about a temporary deal. whether there is one or not, how much flexibility can you get for two or three years of csr paym

your bill, the graham/cassidy bill was not able to -- >> just ran out of time. we need more time. >> president trump just reached out to democrats and tweeted "i called chuck schumer" the democratic leader of the senate" to see if the dems want to do a great health care bill. big premiums. who knows. does that concern you that senator schumer is talking to the president? >> no, because we have premiums that have doubled nationally. four years ago premiums were half of where they were nationally on the individual market. so it's the faulty architecture of obamacare i've been suggesting since last may that we should fund the csrs because the alternative is higher premiums -- >> tell people what csrs are. >> cost-sharing reductions, which is money paid into the insurance companies. the problem is if we don't do that insurance premium wills increase and they'll get the insurance -- insurance companies will get their money either way. advanced premium tax -- >> through the government or charging more? >> and people working hard that can't afford obamacare policies on

. >> bret: we should point out lindsey graham and others have said even if the cassidy-graham bill wass still take a couple years to be implemented to do these block grants to states for that repeal and replace version. >> that was a step for the senate. house had passed a bill and the cassidy-graham bill was not where to be anything like it so we are still going to be a long way away. i think for republicans, you have to remember it is taking a while to soak in about how catastrophic this obamacare failure was. the reason there's all this tension about tax reform right now is the basis as we screwed up obamacare and if we mess up on taxes, it will be a total disaster and we will lose our jobs. this is not something that's gone away. with the president did with this order to cut off these csr subsidies is put the pressure on congress to actually do something. they are feeling it, and that's why we had the murray-alexander thing. >> bret: we talk about the constitutionality question. congress had to appropriated. i want to turn to the other thing they got a lot of attention today and it

them get through the next couple of years while we actually honor our commitment to get the graham/cassidy bill in place, send it back to the states and actually complete the job of repealing and replacing this existing product. >> you have a couple of times seemed to indicate that you'll get more co-sponsors when president trump clarifies his position. you can get this passed in the house, when president trump comes out. sounds as if -- if he doesn't back this bill and back it enthusiastically, put his shoulder into it, you can't get this to pass the house. can you? >> i agree. and that's the intent, but, look, if we can't get the president onboard with us, then -- it would take two-thirds vote anyway and we won't get to that point. and -- look, republicans aren't going to abandon the president. we want to do the same thing the president wants to do. we have the same goals in mind, repeal and replace. our job, convince the president we'll work with him, look at the language that he wants in the bill so that we actually do have a plan in place that assures that the money is going where it's sup

so at the end, the reporter kind of interjected and said, okay, so the graham/cassidy bill, which famouslyas not supported by multiple republicans, and the president said, "yes." so it's not even clear that the white house knows what they want in a health care bill. >> he wants these block grants to go to the states. go ahead, marc. >> the bipartisan progress that we've seen over the last 24 to 48 hours, i think conservatives are very concerned about that, because let's assume that this was agreed to and there was a two-year extension. that's going tyake a little bit of dpas out of the tank right now to go for an absolute repeal and replace and i think that's why we need to push back in part from the likes of the republican study group, the hard-score conservatives in the house. >> just a few minutes ago, the president tweeted this, david. any increase in obamacare premiums is the fault of the democrats for giving us a product that never had a chance of working. what do you make of that? >> it's sort of a prebuttal to anything that happens. the president doesn't wants to take responsibilit

history." [ laughter ] "we se senate republicans announced today they will not hold a vote on the graham-cassidy billo repeal and replace obamacare, after they were unable to secure enough support. but republicans plan to come back with a new plan, where they just slash the tires on all the ambulances. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] going to give it one more try. we think this is the plan. president trump said today that getting relief efforts to puerto rico after the devastation caused by hurricane maria is tough because it's an island. and then, proving he just learned it, yelled, "but rhode island isn't!" makes you think. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] after president trump called for pro athletes to be fired if they didn't stand for the national anthem, nike released a statement yesterday in support of athletes and their right to freedom of expression. then they introduced a new line of $400 kneeling shoes. president trump has tweeted over twice as much about the nfl in the last 24 hours as he has about the hurricane relief crisis in puerto rico. it got so bad, he started to cover bot

manual, one of the architects of obamacare, and rick santorum, who helped craft the republican graham/cassidy bill caught in traffic. thank you for beating the conditions and getting to us. the president's executive action on cost-sharing revenues. cutting them. the right move, why? >> well, i think it was the right move, because it actually puts a gun to the congress' head to try to do something, to try to fix the broken system that is obamacare today. if the democrats knew that they were going to continue to get the milk, they didn't have to buy the cow. they were going to continue to get these subsidies. even though they're illegal. it's very clear, the courts made it very clear, unless congress appropriates this money, the president can't spend it. president obama did, president trump did, but president trump finally said no, no, i'm not going to do this any more. the courts have been very clear. i can't spend money that congress doesn't appropriate. so he's now put it back to the congress, saying you want to appropriate this money, fine. but we need to reduce premiums. and that's what republi

the whole idea is not simply fight back on the worst things like the graham cassidy bill. it is not dead. you have to call your senator. i think the idea is to use this. folks have described it as a movement moment. i have felt there has never been a better opportunity as organizers for a longer haul to fight back for what we believe in. one of the reasons being on this panel is excite is gone folks are coming into these movements and rejoining or starting new things with a much broader sense of what it means to be part of a progressive movement. we know at planned parenthood, we are fighting to protect access to reproductive health care and rights. we are proud to stand for racial justice and voting rights. all of these issues affect our patients, staff and families. that to me has been one of the better things, although we have a long way to go, about the movement we have seen since the election of 45. >> i would like to pose a question to the we of panelists. resistance, does it include positive action of a forward-moving agenda? >> i think it absolutely can have a forw

health care, donald trump renewed his attack on the health care system under the so-called graham-cassidy bill, but once again the combined outrage of millions kept the bill from coming to the floor. but in the too many they spent on their single-minded unrelented quest to repeal the affordable care act, donald trump and the republicans in congress have allowed authorization for the children -- for chip to lapse. more than 30,000 children in hawaii and more than nine million across the country depend on chip for their health care. you heard my colleague from ohio tell you stories about the children in ohio, children with asthma. in hawaii it's children with asthma, children with diabetes. 30,000 children in hawaii rely on chip for their health care are being affected by our inaction. primarily covering children from low-income families who earn too much to qualify for medicaid, chip provides critical and much-needed care for children with complex medical conditions. although existing funding has allowed states to stretch budgets to keep the program in place, money is quickly running out. if we

if you did the skinny bill or the graham cassidy bill the matter what you did you have stabilize the market. it is nothing new. if we can get that and understand that we are moving forward we will do better. >> senator, i want to circle back on this because it's a good trait for xds. the 60 minutes whistleblower as the drugs are, what would be the advantage and your case for that and you mentioned to the president and -- >> this is my audience right now. >> oh, you will see him today at the opiate event. >> i think all 100 senators ago. this is not a democrat, republican problem. >> will you say. >> someone has have the background and expertise in been personally involved. you can find an awful lot of doctors and scientists to have a family member, child, daughter or son and it has affected their lives and their passionate and they can be swayed by as soon as i do this i will have a better job waiting for me and i've also got a piece of legislation revolving door. there should be anyone that says an agency that oversees and investigates and prosecutes that has a revolving door lincol

which is stabilization, that would happen no matter what you did, you did the skinny bill, the graham cassidy bill, no matter what you did, you had to stabilize the market to do the transition. if we can get that and move forward we will do a lot better. >> a good tweet for axios 360. the 360 whistle-blower, have you mentioned that to the president or is this your -- >> this is my audience. i will mention it today to him. >> you will see him today? >> yeah. >> you will be at the opioid event. >> i think all 100 senators should go. this is not a democrat or republican problem. >> what are you going to say to him about the drug zar? >> the drug czar has to have medical expertise and you can find a lot of scientists and doctors that has a child or son or someone affected their lives, very passionate. can't be swayed, as soon as i do this i will have a better job waiting for me here. i have a piece of legislation so it's not a revolving door. there shouldn't be anybody who overseas and investigates and prosecutes. that has a resolving door, they can investigate one day and go to work for them the next

the affordable care act or obama care is still in effect after the failure of the cassidy-graham bill repeal and replace plan forced republicans to cancel the vote. step americans needs to enroll in the health explanation for 2018. open enrollment begins november 1 but the department of health and human ss announced it will should down the website healthcare.gov at the same time. on the first day of enrollment it is down overnight then every sunday during the enrollment period except one it will go offline until noon. a government spokesperson said maintenance outages are regularly scheduled on healthcare.gov every year during open enrollment and system down time is planned for the lowest traffic time period and this year is no different but it is different. this year enrollment is shorter from only november 1 to december 15 so about half the number of days. the take away is if you are covered under obama care get it done early. don't wait. taking a knee. taking a stand. is it disrespectful or unlawful? how one player's protest turned a debate about brutality into soledad: as some pla

. >> and if you did the skinny bill, the graham-cassidy bill he had to stabilize the market as you transition. it's nothing new, if we can get that and understand that we're moving forward we're going to do a lot better. >> senator, i'm going to circle back because it's a good tweet for axios 360. the whistle blower to the drug czar. if you mentioned to the president? >> this is my audience, i'll mention it today. >> you're going to see him today and be at the opioid event. >> i think all hundred senators should go. this is not a democrat or republican problem. >> what are you going to say about the drug czar. >> medical expertise and medical background and has been personally involved. you can find a lot of doctors, scientists, family member who have a cold, a daughter, a son. they're passionate and can't be swayed, as soon as i do this, i'll have a job here. it shouldn't be a revolving door. there shouldn't be anybody in an agency that overseas, and has a revolving door that they can go to them the next day, that's wrong. >> what can washington learn from the state about actually getting th

stopgap until they get to what he wants to see, which is block grants to the states and the graham-cassidy billch pell -- fell one vote short in the senate. we have not seen where those votes have changed from the original voting. so i think what happened was the evolution of pushback from conservatives. he spoke at the heritage foundation and there are a lot of conservatives who said we've campaigned for years and years on repealing obamacare and the federal courts decided that it was unconstitutional what the obama administration did with subsidies and now you are going to put it into law. and the pushback changed the support or lack there of of that bill. >> sandra: so much going on with healthcare and tax reform there is a lot of distraction as well, as you know, from watching that white house press briefing yesterday, so many questions directed toward the white house about that phone call with the soldier's widow with the president. we have one account from the congresswoman saying was insensitive and the president gives another account. we have sound of his most recent answer. >> didn't s

remember graham cassidy the healthcare bill. >> repeal and replace. >> remember we forgot about that last week and forgot about susan colinies coming out on national media saying she won't vote for it. >> all it tooks with a couple tweets sdm he's a masker and he was his whole life of getting people's attention here to not look at this. >> yeah that's been most of his career. also everything is best ever with him always, always, done the best. but that was i think brill yabt play. you can see how emotional people are about it. >> you look at that gentleman we had on er trump tapped into something that is real and that is not a fake-out and that is speaking to a lot of people's feelings about this. >> one of the reasons he's in office is people have this -- they have nationalism and patriotism that has not about fed into by the left and he's perfectly captured. >> we want to thank tim young for joining us this orng morning. we'll have you back at some point and talk about other things as well too. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> you're watching "fox 5 news" on the hill this s

what he had worked on had a lot of the things that were in that graham-cassidy bill that the presidentt we tried to get going here before the end of september. it has some new things in there that are interesting. the crs payments to the insurance companies it actually costs us money to not do that. that's something a lot of people didn't realize until we got into the meat of it. >> bill: it's tricky but again i come back to tax reform. i don't know how you as a party continue to run in 2018 unless you get them both done. i would like to move to -- >> i agree with that 100%. if we aren't going to do those things there is no point being here. >> bill: on niger this is what you said. department of defense owes the families of those who died in their service answers to what happened in niger. ambush? i don't know a lot of people who are arguing against that. we were given a few answers yesterday. what questions could you have remaining today? >> i think the most important is the tactical failure of the operation. what were the assumptions going in? why did it go wrong? they were there ass

that's why senator graham cosponsored and senator cassidy have cosponsored our bill because our bill would have been part of the senate republican repeal and replace bills if budget rules had allowed it. so the president knows -- well, senator graham and senator cassidy knows that if we repeal and replace obamacare in one year, two years, three years, it takes two or three years for it to take effect and we still need the cost-sharing payments for the interim and you can't pass those in the senate with 51 votes. it takes 60. the republicans are for it, the majority of the house have voted it, it sounds like something that might actually become law before the end of the year. the second flexibility. the biggest difference between the senate republicans and the senate democrats about health insurance in the individual market is whether washington should write more of the rules or if states should write more of the rules. our position has been states should. we've had about 50 votes, maybe more, and we lost them all and we made thousands of speeches and we lost them all. we haven't moved

republican party's latest effort to repeal and replace obamacare collapsed two weeks ago, your bill, the graham cassidy heller johnson bill -- >> ran out of time. i don't think collapse. alive and well but we need more time. >> president trump just reached out to democrats, tweeted, i called chuck schumer yesterday to see if the dems want to do great health care bill. obamacare is badly broken, big premiums. who knows. does that concern you at all that senator schumer is now talking to the president about this? >> no, we have these premiums that have doubled nationally. think about it, jake, just four years ago, premiums were half of where they were nationally on the individual market. it is the faulty architectural obamacare. i've been suggesting since last may that we should fund the csrs because the alternative is higher premiums. >> tell people what csrs are. >> cost sharing reductions. if we don't do that, insurance premiums will increase and they'll got -- the insurance companies will get their money either way. >> through the government or through -- >> and people working hard that can't afford

graham cassidy. people said this was a partisan bill. i just listed two states represented by democratic senators but i can also list maine, florida, wisconsin, indiana and others that would do far better under graham cassidy then under status quo. and they are represented by democratic senders. -- senators. >> the 2018 is the same congress, the same players. you do not have the votes. what do you do? >> some complain about the process. we now have more time for a better process. i would like to think that we can socialize this among our democratic colleagues. they are finally showing a willingness to give a little bit on the aca. and so, have given a little bit. and this deal that senators murray and alexander worked out. maybe now, they say well, this is okay for working families. families that cannot afford insurance now. maybe i need to look at this a little more closely. not through the lens of partisan politics. if this is the case we win. >> caitlin owens i will come to you in 30 seconds. but what did jimmy kimmel make, any differe

even if he was there was still at least three other republicans against the bill which means graham-cassidyouldn't have passed whether he was in the hospital or not. to recap, mr. president, there was no senator in the hospital, you didn't have the votes, the bill didn't pass and you're bad at math, okay? [ cheers and applause ] this is funny. jared kushner, who of course is trump's adviser/son-in-law, someone looked into this, noticed jared is registered to vote in the state of new york. and you see as gender female, as a woman. this is his official voter registration card. gender, female. party affiliation is none declared. that's right. he's not a republican or democrat. he's just an independent woman. [ laughter ] [ applause ] he's registered as a woman in new york and in new jersey he's registered also, as "gender unknown." whicac but how good is that? jared kushner registered to vote as a woman? and he used the private e-mail server for white house business. i say lock her up! lock her up! [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] lock her up! so the president, he traveled to indianapolis
