for an opening to reach a bipartisan deal, joining us now from west virginia's democratic senator joe manchinthanks for coming on with us this morning, let me start off by asking to believe that obamacare is broken and is in danger of collapse as the president so office says? >> senator manchin: first, let's start out with happy birthday, america, 241 years young and still going strong, so we will start off with that, but i think it needs repair, we've always said that, i thought from day one the private markets are working and on top of that we can do better by working and educating people that have gotten the expansion, gotten health care for the first time and up until that point in time they were using health care basically at the emergency room. we need to show people and teach people and educate people to educate how to use it effectively. we just need to work together. we are americans, we shouldn't be just democrats or republicans, should be about our country and who we are as a people. >> john: i've been told by folks who are i think pretty well in the loop that you would like to be

julia: you mentioned the joe manchin.carlet: craig, i wonder what have the joe manchin's and other conservative democrats is that in terms of what they are willing to entertain my comes a bipartisan health care reform? a lot of it is based on increasing funding for medicaid, which is how obamacare gets paid for. fairly poor states -- west virginia, heidi heitkamp out of north dakota. these are places where a lot of people are on this program and to get it through medicaid and medicaid subsidies and payments. the original bill and revised bill were fairly stingy unmedicated. mitch mcconnell have $200 billion he could throw into the kitty. there is the money to play with and that could be enough to pick off a vote here and there, to tell some people that in this state, it will be enough money in the medicaid coffers to support health care for the citizens. that is what i do think the senators are looking for. julia: how much discussion and criticism are you hearing? is there a finger-pointing? a lot of people that expended

(vo) if you've had enough, tell your doctor what you've tried and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children less than six, and it should not be given to children six to less than 18. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop

but doing it separately would allow republicans to bring in democrat like joe manchin who do want toork with republicans. >> if you don't have the 50 votes, you can get rid of budget reconciliation. they can get rid of the speech of legislation. when you start replacing that come your back through the process. i am willing to set down tonight. >> no indication can't doing for dividing the repeal and replace process but if republicans can get any progress towards passing the current bill, that could change. leland: allotted 30 change. you're attending holding down the fort there in d.c. thank you. a lot more about what could change. >> that's right. more potential hurdles ahead. diane black joins us. thank you for joining us. >> we can see lawmakers kicking the can down the road. i want to get to the budget with you obviously because you are the chairwoman. but also you can't kick the can down the road. a budget has to be passed. >> absolutely. >> tell me about where the biggest challenges, but you face this week. >> first of all congressionally or constitutionally to do a budget. we

let's get some people in the room, let's get mike lee and ben sass, and let's get joe manchin, and corye a real, honest, open debate, not the scare tactics, not grandmas off the cliff where we're going to socialized medicine, let's get to the real discussion about health care which is in and the current senate bill. i agree with jose on that point. >> leland: boyd, what could say derek's dream about not having health care, i want to put this quote up from "the wall street journal." there is no discussion about possibly not repealing some of the obamacare taxes, this is what "the wall street journal" had to say. when republicans campaigned repeal in her place obamacare, we don't recall hearing that they meant only some of its tax increases. if they panic on the obamacare surtax, they give the here's the question, boyd, what do republicans do now? >> i think they have to recognize that the current bill in the senate does a little bit for the poor, does a lot for the wealthy, the well-connected big insurance. unfortunately, it is forgetting the forgotten men and women of the country, the v

when you ask any democrat -- i talked to joe manchin on face the nation, i said, who reached out to youthe republicans? they said no one ever has. if you make a list that want to reach out to make a partisan -- bipartisan agreement, you reach out to joe manchin. he has run for romney and trump, he has voters that want to see him work with republicans. republicans say we did not negotiate really in a full throated way because democrats say they must keep the individual mandate. for them, it is the central horror of obamacare. so they say there is no point in negotiating. there were little talks about negotiation and bipartisanship, and really from the president, the thrust of the leadership message was we will do this on our own as republicans and just not invite democrats to this process. charlie: what about the president, did he have any impact? john: he may very well have had impact on the negative side. president trump came to office -- it is important to go back and look at what he promised. he would take considerable marketing skills and negotiating skills and apply them to the pre

joe manchin is a guy who has worked with donald trump. of his nominees that went before the u.s. senate. something happened last week very quietly that got lost in all the noise, and that is kate's law passed the house of representatives and it passed on a bipartisan vote. donald trump is coming into this with no political experience at all and it takes a while to learn how to build these coalitions together to get a majority of congress behind a piece of legislation. they were able to successfully do that in the house. i suspect kate's law will pass the senate on a bipartisan vote. i think that he's learning a lot of lessons from that. if he would employ the tactics that he used with that legislation to this, i think he will be in very good shape. >> good to see both of you. happy fourth weekend. >>> iraqi forces are right now closer than ever to liberating the city of mosul. so what is the u.s. plan after isis loses control? that's coming up next. at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this.

john mccain, collins m lisa murkowski but our caucus was so united, you had bernie sanders and joe manchin and edwin in between on the same page. and we are family. we watch each other's backs. almost every decision we made was not made by me unilaterally by calling our caucus together and most of the good ideas came from various members just raising their hands and sing what about this, what about that. we had to caucuses yesterday to discuss what to do. so we're going to work with them at our caucus unity was something fabulous. >> does president trump understand health care policy? >> i was amazed that he said let's go down to 51 votes to help get a past when they were there, and i haven't talked to him at length on health care policy. .. russian sanctions were bipartisan, they passed with large majorities, people from both sides voting. we can have our successes if we do that. >> when some of your colleagues started up plotting, you could of gestured to them to stop. >> i don't pick it was a time for celebration or political victory. i said last night on the floor. it's not a time for

the activity of the: groups out there has been terrific and i'm so gratified that my caucus from joe manchin to bernie sanders was active in their state and throughout the country in showing how bad this proposal was. and i think it made a difference. [inaudible] senator schumer: it is just saying that the republicans on this issue, from day one, democrats have been united and on offense and republicans have been divided and on defense. that's because again the core of their bill is so, so out of touch with what the average american, even the average republican wants very and don't forget one thing the idea of negotiations, democrats negotiate with us. what was the first act that this senator did? on january 4, a day after we were sworn in, they passed reconciliation and said we don't need democrats, take a hike. the first day back before anything even started. that was their game plan. it's not working. thank you. announcer: on tuesday, president trump said he hoped that -- we heard-- that from senator majority leader mitch mcconnell who stopped to speak with reporters outside the white hou

thank you very much senator joe manchin. the status quo on health care is that the democrats are holding firm and so far as far as we know, there are not enough republican votes to put it on the floor. >> let me just say, there's many democrats who we definitely understand it needs to be repaired, chuck schumer understands it needs to be fixed and repaired. you just don't repeal it and throw it out and say, okay, here you are, well, it's not here we are, here's what you just did. 180,000 west virginians, 20 million americans, and this goes on and on and on. we can fix it, we can definitely fix it. >> joining me now john palmerry, and josh ernest, former press secretary for president obama also a contributor. thank you both so much for being with us. josh ernest, as i -- first of all, jared kushner, we're going to hear from jared kushner, so that breaking news, two hours plus with the investigators for the senate committee with the staff. we see him now getting into the car, he will motorcade back to the white house. when you

joining me now is west virginia senator joe manchin.ur reaction to the senate parliamentarian taking this action. >> well, first of all, mike, it's good to be with you. and i know elizabeth, she's been there -- i couldn't tell you what elizabeth's politics are. she holds everything close to the vest. we have the utmost respect for her. she is very thorough and precise on her decisions, and she really studies it hard, so i will, i will accept that, and we will move on. and whatever it is, it is. i hope everyone else feels the same way. mike: senator, my sources on capitol hill have told me to expect a likely vote on tuesday on a senate health care package. do you have any idea what's in the bill? >> mike, i don't think even my republican friends and colleagues have anything -- there could be one of three versions they receive. so we haven't heard any more than that. i know that they're determined to have that vote. i was concerned about that, why they would continue to have the vote when it looks like the votes aren't there and it's goin

earlier tonight we talked to a critical member of the senate intelligence committee, senator joe manchinat from west virginia. i started our conversation by asking him if jared kushner's statement today outside the west wing in the white house driveway was enough or if he, senator manchin, wants to see him in front of his committee in a public setting. >> well, today he appeared before the stat of the senate intelligence. that's the procedure they go through, the intelligence committee with our chairman and vice chairman. the procedure is the staff goes through the different questions and tries to put the puzzle together the best that they possibly can. then we had an informal briefing at 2:00, the members. so we had an informal briefing on what they talked about. until we get the transcripts in front of us at the formal meeting that decision will be made to bring him forward. and i think there's enough interest where jared would come before the full committee, the intelligence. >> what will your reaction be if the president fires mueller or if the president tries to pardon members of hi

. >> reporter: he's already approached joe manchin from west virginia where one in three people rely on medicaid. >> we're not going to go down that path. sitting down and repairing what's wrong. we can do that. >> reporter: in virginia, kim crowley is concerned about medicaid, too. her son has a rare birth defect born before obamacare was law. >> when he was 15 months old he hit his maximum. that was $2 million. >> reporter: now she relies on medicaid. >> we didn't need medicaid before isaac. this could happen to anybody. anybody could have a child with a need. anybody could suffer a catastrophic accident tomorrow. >> the negotiations are continuing. republicans now planning to keep some of the taxes on the wealthy that were part of obamacare, and they insist they're on track to release a new version of the bill on thursday. lester? >> kasie hunt at the capitol. thank you. >>> thousands of police officers converge in a church in new york to remember an officer assassinated by a gunman last week. the 48-year-old mother of three was only the third woman in the new york city police dep

i don't think that there is necessarily, for a joe manchin, say of west virginia, a problem in being seen working with president trump. now, for chuck schumer it's an entirely different set of calculations because he is the leader of the national party, the base, as you know, has zero appetite whatsoever for working with president trump. so i think that's the tension you may start to see play out if in fact this is what happened in the end. >> eli stokols. i want to ask you about dopes. donald trump tweeting about dopes saying -- talking about dopes at dinner last night. he may have tweeted about it too. i love it. talking about loyalty as well. saying he was let down by all the democrats and a few republicans. most republicans were loyal, terrific and worked really hard. what -- to whom were they loyal by trump's analysis? because i think susan collins' constituents would find her incredibly loyal to them and their concerns about cuts in medicaid. who didn't pass the loyalty test and who fell into the dopes category? >> i am guessing one person in dopes or not loyal is dean heller g

joe manchin is a democratic from west virginia. thank you for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> wonderful to have you. that relies very heavily on medicare, and that's something that would get cut significantly with this current senate healthcare plan as it stands right now. what do you make of congressman jordan saying that it's okay to have two years for that delay for everybody to come to the table, he says, and find a way to make sure that they have better health care? >> well, jim has to understand and we have to respectfully disagree with on this. that's cruel and inhumane treatment, allowing someone to dangle for two years. and here is the thing, the reality of what we're dealing with here is they can't even get 50 votes on the senate side to do what they've wanted to do. they've come to that conclusion. it they're still going fof a vote on this side. you heard jim jordan talk about how committed they are in keeping their promise. things have changed. the bottom line, this is intricate, people's lives are at stake here.

. >> sreenivasan: democratic west virginia senator joe manchin said today obamacare needs" repair" to fix the private insurance market, but not to be repealed. former republican presidential contender and ohio governor john kasich said the bill's $45- billion to fight the opioid epidemic is too low. president trump didn't comment on the fate of the republican healthcare plan today, but he found time to tweet a bizarre video showing him punching and body-slamming a man with a cnn logo superimposed on his face, the official "potus" account retweeted it. a version of the original video is from a "wrestlemania" event mister trump participated in ten years ago. a doctored-up version was first posted on the social media sit"" reddit" earlier this week. in response, cnn said, "it is a last night, the president had reporters on his mind when he took time out from his holiday weekend at his new jersey golf club. at washington's kennedy center, he addressed a rally and concert for veterans sponsored by an evangelical christian church. >> the fake media is trying to silence us, but we will not l

. >> we hear from senator joe m manchin. he said this is not acceptable. no one can accept it as being acceptable. has something shifted on this story as more and more has come out? >> yes. here is what's shifted. the story says it's a family member who had an e-mail that had a russian connection in it. that is different. of course, we need to know the go between that set up the meeting on whose behalf was he acting? we have heard from the russian lawyer, we know more. she knew what she wanted to do, to talk about her issue. so, this is different because this is another, what do we call it? drip, drip, drip. it's connecting the dots. no matter where you go, there's another person involved, another disclosure that had to be amended. another meeting someone is just remembering. then we have somebody that said i may have dirt on hillary clinton that has some connection with a russian source digging it up. so, there's a lot more to know, which is why these investigations on the hill with bob mueller are necessary. to put together the story. this is an importan

i heard our colleague this morning, one of our favorite colleagues out here is joe manchin from west virginia, and i heard him interviewed on one of the morning shows. he was terrific. he said we need to be working together. we shouldn't be divided over party by this. we shouldn't be divided ideologically on this. we all ought to be openly trying to work together to figure how to drive down health care costs and increase coverage for more americans. and that's what those folks in florida and tampa told me last week that i met with, and that's what those hundreds of folks that come up to me in the airport, on the airplane, on the street corner, in the public buildings, in the hospitals, wherever i am, that's what they're telling me, please get together and work it out. they're asking us to fix what needs fixing. and that's what the american people are asking us to do, and that's what i beg the senate. some, as the good book says, come, let us reason together. let us use some of our common sense. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the d
