tennessee congressman marsha blackburn is with us. kellyanne conway. we have a big show this morning. you don't want to miss a moment of it. republican efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. the latest senate bill to do just that would lead to 22 million fewer people insured over the decade. it would also reduce average premiums on obamacare exchange by 25%, most notably this bill does not roll back income and payroll taxes nor does it hit provision known as cruz amendment which would allow insurers to offer less comprehensive coverage. the senate's number two john cornyn expect procedural vote this coming tuesday but he adds knowing what's in the bill before then is, quote, a luxury we don't have, a luxury we don't have, dagen. i mean, it's kind of incredible that days before a vote and then we are hearing this, one of the top leaders, he doesn't know exactly what's in the bill? dagen: again, it's not just what has not happened this year, it's what has not gone on in the last seven years that has a lot of conservatives an a lot of republicans frustr

some senators are optimistic, people like senator richard shelby as well as representative marsha blackburna member of republican leadership in the house. i spoke with both of them earlier today. they are optimistic but they still can that skinny bill legislation is not cohesive in the house of representatives. --nie: >> that's one of two votes the democrats are pushing today, essentially a motion to recommit, that means sending the bill back to committee to look into it and do their thing with it. i think it is the democrats' way of trying to slow things down and also, trying to highlight to the public that this please of legislation to not go through regular order, it did not go through the committee process, there's no hearings or markups on it. i think democrats want to highlight. is not expected to pass republicans. they will have their ability, they're sort of messaging points. vonnie: let me ask you about the president. you've been tweeting a lot today. there is thisd, noise that's growing louder about attorney general jeff sessions. >> he's also tweeted a ban on trans-genders servin

representative marsha blackburn, thank you for being with us. >> good to be with you. >>> still to come mosul. it may be ending as u.s.-backed iraqi forces close in on the remaining isis-controlled areas. we get an exclusive look. stay close. >>> here's cnn's senior international correspondent, nick paton walsh. >> it does appear from statements from the iraqi army they feel confident they're getting to the final stage of the final stage of kicking isis out of the old city of mosul. the last population center of size they control in iraq. now it's been torturous going for iraqi special forces, moving through that dense, rabbit warren of alley ways that is the old city of mosul. much of it reduced to rubble, progress slowed by isis booby-traps, human shields, civilians trapped in the midst of isis. we understand from people on the ground there's 150 to 200 meters left between the iraqi special forces and the river that runs through mosul. that marks the back end of isis territory. so it is literally days, as we've heard before, but it does appear to be days now until the task is complete

earlier on fox, republican congresswoman marsha blackburn said it is worth considering. >> this is not that dissimilar to one of the first plans that was out there that said, you know, let's put a date certain that says obama care will cease to exist as of this date. it was one of the first proposals. everyone knows that there's not one stroke of the pen, that it is going to take many strokes of the pen to get all the rules and regulations. >> is that feasible? >> it could be feasible. >> peter doocy has more on the president's weekend live from his golf club in new jersey. senate majority leader mcconnell still on the same page as is president trump about the way forward on healthcare? >> it's not clear if they are still on the same page, laura, and that is a big shift because remember the majority leader mcconnell is the one who stood up on the stage at the rnc almost exactly one year ago to say he had delivered an obama care repeal bill to president obama's desk and he vetoed it but that a president trump would sign it and it would become law, but still mcconnell has not been able t

marsha blackburn, we have gotten news this afternoon that the senate is going to delay its august recess and we will see some of that getting down to business that the american public is so hungry for. i appreciate your time, congresswoman. >> so good to be with you. thank you, harris. >> harris: a fox news alert, and let's talk to you about that august recess. senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, will delay the august recess as they worked to get the needed votes on health care and even more than that. mitch mcconnell worked a lunch with mike pence trying to move the ball forward on a whole bunch of issues. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is on the hill. mike, what so many have been saying and i have been saying for well over a month, how do you build a house and go home before you put the roof on it and let the rain come and? they have work to do, in officially, they will be doing a. >> maybe they have been listening, however bottom line, republican senator saint, we need more time, we should work through the august recess, so senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell

quote, immediately repeal if they can come up with a replacement, we will speak to congressman marsha blackburn on what she thinks. leland: the modified version of donald trump's traveled and getting its first test at airports across the country. keeping the nation's capital safe this holiday weekend, take a highflying trip with pilots making the 113th. elizabeth: police state with the people have been injured in an early-morning nightclub shooting. officials say 25 people were shot, three others injured in unrelated issues. all are expected to survive. officials of not release any information on the shooter but police say the incident appears to be because of a fight and it is not healthcare related. leland: the health care debate continues, revealed and replace later is the message we heard from donald trump, two lawmakers, that is a big change in republican doctrine, the latest health care debate will take place in the senate after their holiday week, senators will hear a lot about this at home. peter do see at the new jersey retreat with the latest from the president and the senate. >> repo

congressman marsha blackburn with us this morning, republican from tennessee.ou know, a lot of people are saying this health care thing is absolutely dead. what say you? >> i think health care is moving along through the process and i fully believe the senate is going to get something done, send it back to the house and we will reach a resolution on this. we made a commitment. it's a deliverable that we're committed to and we need to get it done, sooner rather than later. stuart: so you think. i mean, there's a new plan that's going to be submitted today. do you think it's got a shot, really? almost everybody says this thing is a dead duck. >> i think the new plan has a shot and stuart, as you know, many in the house talked last fall about having a date certain in the future that we would work toward because obamacare, the a krchca, cannot repealed and moved off the books with one stroke of the pen. this is something you have to do in phases, we all know that and realize that. you have had a compilation of of, of courses the statutes, but also the regulations.

let's bounce that off congresswoman marsha blackburn. thank you for taking the time. >> sure.ct that the markets seem to be betting that at the very least they're going to see lower corporate taxes this year? do you believe that? >> i believe the markets do believe they're going to see lower tax rates this year. and one point that i would make is i think they're look at both the individual and the business side of that. of course, business has more impact for what they're looking at. but, neil, when you take it to the consumer economics side, what you get is individuals being able to reset their withholding. going back to the first of the year, they are able to take home more every pay period. that means they're going to be spending a little bit more as well as, hopefully, saving some. neil: you know, congresswoman, we're just learning that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he still wants a vote to proceed with a straight obamacare repeal -- >> yes. neil: -- even though it looks now with three republican senators coming out against such an effort that it would fail.
