. >> mark sanford put it as eloquently as anybody has in the washington post this morning, anita.ook, a, it's weird out there right now. >> no question. >> you and i experience a lot of weirdness covering these things. but that there is this sense of a permission slip that anything goes. and he attributed it to the president. this is republican mark sanford attributing it to the president, not some whacky left wing pundit. >> this is mark sanford who also probably was the most eloquent person in denouncing the monopoly money budget that the president decides to send up to congress this week as well. this is a mark sanford that many of us are surprised to find, you know, ourselves agreeing with a great deal of the time. chuck, youknow, the republican party has had a history, though, of using the presence of foil going back to richard nixon and spiro ag knew who i think did describe you as -- also if you recall -- >> miscellaneous footsie putters pat buchanan. >> in 1998, they set up the press in the dan quail event, they miked the crowd so when reporters were asking quayle was aski

what mark sanford said severely understated it. they held no hearings.- we didn't have a real opportunity to debate this bill. we had 79 hearings over the course of ten months when we debated the affordable care act. we had the chance to read the bill and debate and discuss it. i'm not going to get mired in process. what i am going to get mired in is that 24 million, according to the cbo, said they will lose their health care. you have the american medical association opposed to it. the aarp and religious organizations opposed it to. the american nurse's association. the health care experts in this country are opposed because they know it will jeopardize people's lives. it's unacceptable, and we're going to do everything we can to stop it. that's why the senate is saying they're going to start over, which they should. >> when that bill passed yesterday, democrats responding in song. ♪ hey, hey, goodbye >> here's the clip. >> yes. >> is that off pitch as well in more ways than one? is that appropriate? >> you know, honestly, i think that the republicans n

let's start right there with mark sanford. he said it was a crazy hypothetical to talk about the mac arthur getting watered down. >> it is not crazy at all. the amendment does not protect people with pre-existing conditions which is what so many republican politicians say that it does. we know that states will be able to and for waivers and convinced some states will and for waivers. and some people with pre-existing conditions will probably be confront with premium increases that are higher than they can afford. >> scott walker said this afternoon that he is thinking of pulling wisconsin out of requirement that's the some version passes. if you get rid of the community rating, the rule that says you can't charge more than other people on the plan with these conditions. you basically open the door to hiked prices. so they might have access to an insurance plan with you they can't afford it. >> so both sides are declaring victory. the republicans are saying we got something done. the democrats are saying we're going to pin this

mark sanford of south carolina saying the white house's projections for economic growth were unrealistic. >> it perpetuates a myth we can balance the budget without touching entie thements. not a myth. a lie. >> reporter: wasn't enough for that fiscal hawk. the budget would cut trillion from the social safety net. slashing programs, medicaid, food stamps, anti-poverty programs. it doesn't touch the two biggest drivers. medicare and social security. democrats have the opposite program with the budget. saying, the entitlement cuts are too steep. >> have to be honest, i have never seen a budget so devoid of compassion and empathy for families struggling to make ends meet. >> back in the hearing room. he defended the cuts. >> we no longer want to measure compassion by the number of programs that the we have or the number of people on the programs. we want to measure true compassion by the number of people we help to get off the programs. >> meanwhile in the that. lawmakers distance from the budget. making clear congress writes the bills that become law. not the president. >> certainly look a

mark sanford, if every republican would be talking like mark sanford right now, republicans would actuallythe house next year. but instead, they're going to lose it because -- we'll give you an example. richard haass had this idea. he said this is such a bad bill politically, why don't you mock-up 30-second ads. all the kids in the back that work for us, they're out in the street playing stick ball. hey, kids, uncle richard has an idea, they're jumping around the fire hydrant, they come up and drop their sticks. these kids are really good. they came up with this 30-second ad -- i said draw up an ad that will look like what we're going to see next year. this is what they came up with. >> i'm doing okay. i'm president. hey, i'm president. can you believe it. >> the republican health care plan, while they're laughing, 23 million americans lose their coverage. protection for pre-existing conditions gone, medicaid slashed and older americans hit especially hard. all to give huge tax cuts to the rich. another broken promise by politicians. >> i am going to take care of everybody. everybody is go

this is mark sanford. actually, no. we're going to talk about john mccain.nford, congressman, has come out and said this is not real, this idea of the growth, really the math, projected economic growth and how everything would have to be constructed around that number. you spoke to senator john mccain as well about this, right? >> and this is really what is fascinating. i'm not sure they have the sound. we have it. let's play it and talk about it on the other side. >> my reaction is it's probably dead on arrival. my second reaction is that old line about figures lie and figures lie? that's not a 10% increase in spending. it's a 3% increase in spending. >> so, the white house needs to obviously realize that when they are trying to explain to republicans, especially those who are debt and deficit hawks, those who are very keen, like john mccain, on increasing defense spending, much more even than the president proposed, that they need to know that they have people like that out there. and so that is -- again, these are republicans saying dead on arrival becaus

it is a similar question you asked mark sanford. are you comfortable with the deficit going up for a higher tax cut? >> i have to see the way they score. you track these models all the time. i have to say the way it is scored. if it is dynamic. it is realistic or not? if it is a realistic model to work with, tax activity. there's the movement of money in the country that is very important and the amount of money that they can keep. >> i appreciate you working with us on this breaking news. thanks for having me on. i'm now going to move. the senate democrats are choosing to respond. >> the president should read this report cover to cover. throw their bill in the trash can and begin working with america, with democrats on, a real plan to lower costs for the american people. there's a lot to unpack. first, costs. cbo report makes clear, your premiums are heading up for the next several years if the trump care passes. 5 first following year. republicans are crowing about premiums going down. you get almost no coverage. cheaper insurance

fits in this debate as it does in so many others here on capitol hill. >> woodruff: congressman mark sanfordank you very much. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> woodruff: for a democrat's perspective we are joined by representative kathy castor. i think you were able to hear what congressman sanford was saying. do you believe that what the republicans are coming together on does now cover enough americans? >> no. and the next 24 hours are going to be very important for families all across the country that are concerned about their health coverage. because what we know about the republican bill is that it will rip coverage away from millions of americans, raise costs, impose a huge age tax on our neighbors who are 50, 55, and older, and not yet in medicare. and then it weakens the life of the medicare tust fund, just at a time we have more baby boomers retiring and going into medicare. but here's the kicker for the vote that could come up in the next 24 hours is the bill has gotten even worse. to round up the votes of the tea party caucus, speaker ryan and want white house agreed to go to the hea

that was a big moment of the push back from mark sanford.rom south carolina, very conservati conservative. he said 3% goal is alive. this is a goldilocks budget if you're not going to touch entitlement. >> shepard: i don't understand from reading the economists reports how anybody gets to 3% unless they say 3%. that's purple. 3%. >> well, it's a -- as economists are saying, it's a rosy prediction. but mulvaney's point is why would we be pessimistic about this? why wouldn't we have a point to push for? i talked to mark meadows. he's an ally of the president. he said we can get 3%, we can get 3.5% but we need -- healthcare has to move through. it's in the senate. it's very broad. we're still waiting for actual numbers. the tax reform is another animal. so they're assuming that both of those things make it through and successful and do basically like with the house bill, they're taking those numbers rather than a more moderate -- >> shepard: you know what happens when you assume. don't say it. it's family tv. thanks, eliza. >> thank you. >> she

i want to go back to something that mark sanford, congressman from south carolina, said to me last hourth regards to the cbo score. he took issue with this idea that there would be millions more uninsured. he said part of the reason that was the case was because the cbo was saying that folks would be uninsured, when in fact they would have less insurance than they would otherwise under obamacare. is that true? >> no. he's making his own argument against himself. cbo says 23 million will lose insurance. all together on. top of that, many people will see much worse insurance. so that 40% premium decline, that's from two components. first, insurance getting much worse. second of all, sick people getting kicked out of market. states will be kicking sick people out of market. sure, if you don't give insurance to sick people, rates can come down. so you're not comparing apples to apples. on that basis, it will raise premiums. people will get worse insurance. >> for those buying their own insurance, it would mean some significant prices, increases for older poor americans. an individual making

. >> let me throw in mark sanford put a voice to this, republican from south carolina.'d split that the president has unearthed some demons. i've talked to a number of people back home about it, they say, well, if the president can say whatever, why can't i say whatever? he's given them license. >> i don't think you can blame the body-slamming of a reporter on president trump. but it is true, we look to the president to set tones and standards. i think all of us would be happier if president trump in general was exuding more of a respectful tone to everybody. people like that he's blunt spoken and that's fine but there's a difference between being blunt spoken and crude and discourteous in politics. >> wds havemeaning. ideas have consequence. it's one thing to be upset with the bias of the news media. but again, we've moved the line to pure raw loathing. >> last word. >> and you when donald trump this morning tweet that journalists, presumably he means journalists of the "washington post" and "the new york times" generally make up even sources. during the campaign, one

we started with mark sanford. he is a freedom caucus member, a conservative mental of the u.s.who says this whole budget is based on an assumption which is incorrect, that we will have 3% growth in this country. >> that's right. i wrote in my piece that you can say you have a plan to balance the budget in ten years, just like i have a plan to slam-dunk a basketball. if my plan is to just grow a foot next year, that's not very likely. you can say it is a plan but not a very serious plan. they just stimulate that they'll have 3% growth when the cbo is predicting 1.9% over time. and that is a way of juicing yourself an extra $3 trillion to play with. >> i want to play a clip from nick mulvany. this is his ball. he is playing this thing. he is the one talking about it. >> the foundation for the plan is 3% growth. that's are trump-onomics. it is whatever can get us to 3% growth. i can assure you when i'm in the oval office as the president, we're talking about trade policy, tax policy, health care reform, we talk about budgets. we're trying to figure out a way to get to 3% growth. >

mark sanford told mulvaney that the budget is based on the economy growing at a 3% rate would be a lie. so when you consider this and other criticisms, is this budget feasible? >> i think that if you look historically speaking there hasn't been a president's budget that has been passed in the history of this nation. so yeah, the president does that. but it's our job as in the legislative branch to come up with the budget and pass it and then send it to the president. i think that, you know, the president's agenda is obviously very clear with the budget and there are -- i agree with some things in there and some things i don't agree with. i think it will be reworked and sent to him in a different form. >> so some things you do agree with, what could be saved in your opinion? >> well, i think there is -- let's say for example there are departments there that have a very heavy bureaucratic layers. the department of interior for example. there is a huge amount of bureaucracy there. and they have a shortage of people who are on -- in the field. that's wrong. i mean, you have to -- there are

. >> you heard right there republicans mark sanford, john mccain, lindsey graham panning the president'st proposals. maya, why do you think there are so many republicans saying this budget is doa? >> i think this kbt has a huge challenge because the country has a huge challenge. our debt is at near record levels. unfortunately the administration is trying to duck too many hard choices to put forward a responsible budget. on the one hand, it has the ambitious goal of trying to reach balance in ten years. on the other hand, it increases spending for defense and other areas. it has a tax reform plan oddly missing from the entire budget, which we can't touch. it walltis off social security d medicare which have to be dealt with if we want to fix the situation. they end up filling the gap with promises of growth which is not possible. >> this project is $2 trillion in extra federal revenue growth because of the president wanting to pay off on the biggest tax cut in history, but uses the same $2 trillion to balance the budget in that decade, that ten-year span. why is the math so fuzzy? >> the

one of the supporting votes was mark sanford of south carolina.pretty critical of the process. take a listen. >> what do you think is the process here? there has not been a cbo analysis. there has not been a hearing on this specific bill. does that concern you? >> certainly. i mean, that's why i was one of the hold-outs in the first go around. it has been a truncated process. i think it is not what a lot of us would have liked to have seen from the standpoint of more robust debate, but we are where we are. >> do you wish the leadership would slow down on this? >> yeah. i think that the notion of where it's good for all parties in a debate, this idea of going from subcommittee to full floor vote and the vetting that takes place in doing so i think is invaluable. if you look in terms of context prior to the friday they pulled that out a couple of weeks that, this bill has seen 17 legislative days. in contrast we saw 166 days with medicare part d. so it is, again, even though we've gotten the long process now passed the vote that would have taken pla

i hate whales, sorry." [ light laughter ] then there was south carolina congressman, mark sanford whoround the question of whether he read the entire bill. >> did you read this entire bill?

"i thought this was a real page turner. in that i turned every page. [ laughter and applause ] i like how page 77 was between 76 and 78." [ light laughter ] and when they're not admitting they didn't read the bill, republicans are openly trashing it. like congressman mario diaz-ballart, who voted for the bill, but said after the vote, this is bill highly imperfect. imperfect, okay? there's no doubt about that. is this bill good? no, i don't like it. [ light laughter ] you voted for it and you're saying that. what were your wedding vows like? was she my first choice? no, sir, never said she was.

mark sanford is a republican congressman from the great state of south carolina. congressman always good to have you, sir. let's take a look at this health care stuff, this new cbo numbers on the health care bill. they're on the screen for our viewers and listeners at home. according to the cbo, increases the number of uninsured by 23 million people, 14 million in the first year, reduces spending on medicaid by $834 billion, it would reduce the federal deficit, something i know you're passionate about, reduce the definite by $119 billion by 2026. do you regret your vote for the plan? >> no. and i think what needs to be remembered here is there's a whole lot more in the way of refinement that will take place. you'll see that take place on the senate side, you'll see it should come back in conference. this is, again, the beginning of the process. the question that i think we had to ask in the house is, is this bill good enough for the senate to continue the debate and i believe it was. >> 23 million more uninsured than under the current plan. is -- >> well, but i th

. >> one of the things we learned today is that mark meadows and mark sanford and the freedom caucus were correct and this is going to impact how he governs and legislates down the line. if you get the freedom caucus on board then the moderate republicans will fold and that's what we saw today. moderate republicans just folded into the process. >> ironically because the politics for them is much, much worse than the freedom caucus. >> correct. and you had legislators today -- as embarrassing as it is, you can quote paul ryan, who don't have a cbo score, who didn't see the bill and voted for the legislatio legislation. >> just this morning, speaker ryan was urging his members that this is what they campaigned on, they have to close the deal. >> they're getting on recess then you're getting closer to june, taxes are on the horizon, a lot of these folks would focus on cutting taxes than working on health care bill to be candid with you. that's in their dna, cutting taxes so time was of the essence. the mentality was every day we're closer to calendar year 2018 it becomes harder to deal

capitol hill today, white house budget director mick mulvaney faced a grilling from gop congressman mark sanford over the proposal's unusually creative accounting. >> you have said that the foundation of your budget is 3% growth, and i have looked every which way at how you might get there, and you can't get there. and what this does is it -- it creates real debates. myself and democrat colleagues can see things quite differently. but for us to have a real debate, we have to base it on real numbers. this budget presumes a goldilocks economy, and i think that that's a very difficult thing on which to base a budget. >> the trump budget is also taking heat for a massive $2 trillion math error which uses the same pool of money twice for two different purposes. amidst a special counsel investigation into possible collusion between the president's campaign and russian meddling in the 2016 election coupled with mounting evidence the president may have committed obstruction of justice by trying to impede that investigation, republican lawmakers would love nothing more than to get back to their domestic

. >> we'll talk to a republican congressman mark sanford on the fight over health care.icans were the big winners yesterday. how will they fare in the mid term

. >> one thing i tell you, mark sanford, congressman from south carolina. critical quite often. >> brought up in one of the shows he was on the house that drove the health care bill, not the white house, the house. so maybe there is an independent sort of committee there that paul ryan can assemble that can drive the tax vote. neil: we do know enough in the house ways and means where they're cooking this up, kevin brady the chairman has had a plan outlined for almost a year now. >> more than even health care. neil: absolutely. >> they have been focused on taxes. i don't put it past them they can drive the bus on this. one thing we know most republicans agree on is some need -- neil: they tell you they delay this, connell, you and i chatted before, they delay this, health care things has to roll out you push this into next year i don't think it is happening. >> in an election year you don't put good odds. we are talking today about the comey story. separate from that being delayed, timetable wise if all the people talk to health care goes late summer, maybe

to congressman mark sanford. do you guys check on the progress of your plan versus their plan versus other plans? what do you do? >> i think there's a story that's sort of gotten ahead of itself in that there is no freedom caucus plan at this point. i think that the group in the wake of the health care debate is going to come together and debate some principles. i think that, you know, there's going to be engagement on this front. i think what the group's ultimately about is trying to constructively engage at the front end of the debate as opposed to stopping things as we did on the health care debate so that we then sort of reorganized things and infused some -- neil: are you saying, sir, just to be very -- i'm sorry, congressman, but to be clear, you're not separately drafting a plan, that you might then look at whatever house ways and means has come up with or the details on the blueprint out of the white house comes up with before you start tinkering or focusing on certain things that you like and don't like?

mark sanford / (r) south carolina: "it has been a truncated process. i think it's not what a lot of us would have liked to have seen from a standpoint of a more robust debate, but we are where we are."rep. steny hoyer / (d) minority whip: "they're rushing to judgment because they think the facts are going to be against them, the facts are going to undermine their ability to pass this bill.">( james ) the bill now moves to the senate.

. >>> okay i used to go there as a kid the sanford baseball games what a job the coach has done legendary. marks is finally hanging up the cleats. >> retire at the season's end the team intends to send him with a bang. colin resch joins us from stanford. >> mark first season at stanford was in 1977. the ample cost of gas back then $59 cents a gallon the average cost of a home in the state of california. less than $50,000 look at the prikt ticket prices here tonight comparable to what you would have paid to see a stanford baseball game in 1977. >> tonight we're having a throw back pricing promotion. basically took the regular season prices and adjusted for inflation. >> ha $10 general admission just $3. a $20 just five bucks. >> we like the prices. >> fans reaction, single best deal since 1977. >> it indicates how long he has been there and how many teams he has gone through how many players he coached. it's sort of a cool experience. >>. making his final season coaching quite an experience. stanford currently ranked 10th in the nation fresh off 11 game win strategic. the 37th 30-win season of c
