senator graham is going to talk, he'll, i'm sure, require a response. mr. enzi: senator graham. mr. graham: the reason we're talking about affordable health care and flexibility is because obamacare is not working. if it were working there would be no graham-cassidy. if it were working we would not be down to one exchange in south carolina after starting with five. if it were working you wouldn't have a 31% increase in premiums announced last week. this is not working. and i have seen no effort on the other side to do anything but to tinker wit my goal is to repeal and replace by taking basically the same amount of money and giving it back to the states in a fair way. they got to spend it on health care. you do cover pre-existing illnesses. i nope hope there's many different ways to deal with pre-existing illnesses, not one. i can tell you right now obamacare is going to fail. somebody needs to do something about it. if you take this account out of the budget, it destroys the ability to come up with flexible alternatives to obamacare which cannot be fixed. it needs to be replaced. ma

mr. graham: thank you very much. mr. graham: thank you very much. >> the senator from south carolina. >> thank you very much. i would like a few minutes here to support the efforts that the budget resolution. i'm on the budget committee. it provides a pathway to balance 197 billion-dollar surplus in 2027. it allows for tax cuts and to those republicans and democrats you are welcome to join. it's a only way we are going to meaningfully get a tax cut that passes the budget reconciliation structure. this bill allows us that structure. i hope republicans and democrats join us. if we don't pass this budget we can't cut taxes unless you get 60 votes. our friends on the other side, it'soi going to be hard to get y democrats i think for a meaningful taxey cut. they are not bad people. they just see things differently. when they spend money they think that's good. they don't worry about the deficit the only cut taxes the deficite is another thing. my belief is not only will we not have the deficit we will have a surplus in this bu

mr. graham said, because it could lead to an impeachment effort by a democratic controlled congress. as this fight plays out, we have a new snapshot of how the nation views our president. the new poll from fox news shows 38% of voters approve of donald trump's performance, that's a new low for their poll. that's a 57% disproval. let's bring urour lead off panel tonight. anita cue mar, jeremy peters, animist nbc contributor who coauthored the report we quoted earlier, and kimberley atkins, chief washington reporter for the boston herald. jeremy, i'll begin with you. by the time i left my office to come to studio you were out front a one story on the front page and presumably for print versions in the morning. a piece you coauthored in this sentence sticks out. the grond old party risks a longer-term transformation into the party of trump. tell us what you mean. >> so, brian, what's happened here since donald trump accepted the republican nomination is a party that has to reckon with a base that it does not quite understand and a base that, frankly, does not support party leadership. i

mr. graham, a republican of south carolina, and a one time target of the president's barbs on twitter, shrugging off the white house chaos, personal insults in exchange for mr. trump's ear. let's bat this around with our panel. white house correspondent for bloomberg news. is it this stark right now as of tonight? you have trump and you have the mccain corker flake center of power. is there any movement in the middle? >> i think the most interesting space is the nonpublic space. you have the senators who are out there publicly. you have the members of congress who do legitimately support the president, and then there's this sort of private middle ground of members of congress and republicans in washington, d.c., who are sort of personally and honestly much closer to the outspoken senators, but they're not prepared to say it yet, so i don't know if you can actually call that a middle ground if they're not acting on it. they would fall into the supportive or silent camp, but there is a lot of con sister nation, we're seeing a voice from a couple key members who have nothing to lose. and then you h

mr. graham, republican of south carolina and a one time target of the president's bashes on twitter has transformed himself into the senate's trump whisperer, shrugging off the white house chaos, permanent insults and deep ideological differences in exchange for mr. trump's ear. ashley parker is with us, michael crowley and shannon pettypiece. ashley, is it this stark right now as of toebt, you've got trump and you've got the mccain corker flake center of power. is there any middle or any movement in the middle? >> i think the most interesting space is the nonpublic space. so you have the senators you just mentioned who are out there publicly. you have the members of congress who actually do legitimately support the president. and then there is this sort of private milgtsds ground of members of congress and republicans in washington, d.c. who are sort of personally and honestly much closer to the outspoken senators, but they're not prepared to say it yet. so i don't know if you can actually call that a middle ground if they're not acting on it because they would certainly fall into this either supp

mr. graham: the parent. >> senator, live that to you. we're happy to help any way we can. senator leahy: thank you, mr. chairman. as frustrating as the chairman knows, two or three years ago we passed a major overhall -- overhaul of immigration. in this committee. bipartisan. passed the united states senate two to one. republicans, democrats voting for it. the republican leadership said they couldn't bring it up in the house where it would have passed. it would have violated the sake rhett dennis hastert rule. because they had enormous -- this was before mr. hastert went to prison, they couldn't bring it up. i think everybody wishes now they had because it would have helped dreamers. i worry when we talk about daca, there is a lot of fear mongering that goes on. dreamers take nothing more to contribute to the only country they have known. every day on paper they are as american as the senators up here. so will we play by the rules, pull them selves up by the the traps, or do we tell zeepo phobic attitude -- zen phobic attitude that faced my grandparents when they immigrated

mr. graham, thank you for a wonderful presentation. i have one question. it may be a bit off base but in 1921 there was the destruction of black wall street outside of tulsa and what was going on during oklahoma during that time? >> yeah, the question is about another varying unknown or under recorded story are the the race riots which is what he is referring to and took place in 1981, one of the worst race riots in the country. the ku klux klan had a very large presence in oklahoma and other states as well. when you read the documents and the prejudice was not unique to oklahoma and when you read even the congressional hearing debating what to do with the osage wealth you get a sense of just how widespread the prejudice was. there were very fragile legal institutions at that time and i don't want to politicize the book in a sense to relate it today but one of the things is that the country is incredibly lawless in our legal institutions were very fragile and we spend if there is a central thing i took away from this book it was how important it is that we

new president of the german parliament or people where you are sad or glad to see him leave well mr graham peters how many of the investors here actually called him a very high respect of course among investors his biggest victory was of course during the financial crisis when he was the voice basically of europe but on the other hand he didn't get everything through but i think in general investors will be sad that he's going to leave all right daniel cope there in frankfurt thank you so much. all right and from mr grumpy now to well one can say the plight of women many women certainly in in workplaces and around the world i'm rita that's right monica. ok we're not taking you live to the german blunder start in fact we're not covering the story that you're planning to we are seeing we be taking you live to thomas sparrow our political correspondent he's at the german bundestag where parliamentarians are voting for the next speaker of the house and on as the president of the bundestag was. to moscow i wonder if you can hear me it is quite a lot loud and noisy there tell us first how is the

mr. graham: the parent. >> senator, live that to you. we're happy to help any way we can. senator leahy: thank you, mr. chairman. as frustrating as the chairman knows, two or three years ago we passed a major overhall -- overhaul of immigration. in this committee. bipartisan. passed

mr. graham: thank you very much. i'd like to take a few minutes here to support the effort to pass the f.y. 2018 budget resolution. i'm on the budget committee, i'm pretty familiar with the document. it provides a pathway to balance. it actually has $197 billion surplus in 2027. it allows for tax cuts. to those republicans and democrats, too, you're welcome to join, the only way we're ever going to meaningfully get a tax cut is pass a budget reconciliation instruction. this budget allows us to cut taxes. i hope some democrats will join us, but if they choose not to, we can do it with a simple majority. if you don't pass this budget, we can't cut taxes unless you get 60 votes. our friends on the other side, it's going to be hard to get any democrats, i think, for meaningful tax cut. they are not bad people. they just see things differently. when they spend money, they think that's good. they don't worry about the deficit. when we cut taxes, the deficit is the most important thing. my belief is not only will we -- we w

graham. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i appreciate your courtesy in permitting just regular members to be here and participate. it's very much appreciated. i had a briefing last week by outside technical experts. and i saw really for the first time how effectively russia has harnessed the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media. they showed how millions of americans are reached and how russia successfully used fake accounts to embed itself, to shape and manipulate opinions and actions. so it shouldn't be news to anyone that russia interfered in the election. what is staggering and hard to fully comprehend is how easily and successfully they turned modern technologies to their advantage. russia used covert cyber attacks to obtain and release information to imact the election as well as on ganda campaigns that relied heavily on r.t., the state-run television network, and the internet research agency, a group of professionals trolls reportedly financed by a close putin ally with ties to russian i

mr. chairman. >> senator graham? >> thank you. for the record, that was more than a little bit. okay. >> again, i thought it was important enough to both senator whitehouse and senator sessions -- >> it was. >> maybe that will shorten it for other people that maybe want to have the same harangue. >> it was important, but it was ant little bit. okay. >> well, i ought to be able to define little bit. >> i'm joking. >> senator lindsey graham beginning questioning in a senate judiciary hearing, but we need to go to the white house. president trump at the white house meeting with the senate finance committee to talk taxes. but also addressing cameras for the first time since the controversy erupted over his call with to -- call of condolence with the widow of a fallen soldier. the president also claiming a congresswoman lied about the call that he made. let's listen to what he has to say now. >> -- member ron wyden for joining us today. thank you very much. thank you, ron. we're here to discuss our plan to deliver historic tax cuts for american families, businesses, workers. it will

mr. chairman. senator: senator graham. .enator: thank you for the record, that was more than just a little bit. i thought it was important for the white house, and senator sessions. was important, but it was not a little bit. ok. i am joking. i am joking. senator: joking, ok. [laughter] senator: and i want my time back, for joking. senator: give him back his time. there you go. on august 30, senator grassley and i sent a letter to the department of justice, wanting information related to the drafting of memos exonerating secretary clinton before the july statement of fbi director call me. -- fbi director james comey. we got nothing back. do you think we will ever get an answer to that letter? attorney general sessions: did you get an answer or explaining why it can't be answered? senator: either way. apparently on the fbi website, they have got emails with no content, suggesting the james may was talking. and the title of this thing, what is the title of this thing, the email? drafts of director comey's july 2016 statement regarding the email server investigation. that is what the title of this

trying to repeal and replace obamacare and failed last month to get the graham-cassidy measure through, john asked the president, well, mr. president, what is the republican plan? what is your plan, what is the health care plan going forward? 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 octobe

senator graham: did you see any activity in the primary, mr. stretch? activity that is eligible due to the internet research agency really started in 2015 and was ongoing through the primary, yes. senator graham: were these ads pro-clinton, anti-clinton, or could you tell? these activities? >> viewed in the aggregate, the really appears, to address a wide range of hot button topics and appears directed at fomenting discord and in flaming discourse. senator graham: in terms of volume, again, how much volume are we talking about? 90% approximately of the volume that we saw on the ad issues-based,o be primarily, and a much smaller proportion erected at a particular candidate. thator graham: i think is one in 23,000 for facebook. >> correct. in terms of the total volume of material on the site, it is a very stop percentage for we estimate the internet research agency content was approximately in04% of the content newsfeed during the time in question. senator graham: i will come back with a jihadist for round two, but russia as a nationstate started interfer

graham sparred with the president. don't take it personal, get over it. he doesn't take it personal. as we talked about on the radio, mr. get on the page, you don't belong here? lindsey graham says you're a disgrace but he got over it. >> harris: these are men, the denim and you just mentioned, lindsey graham and others who have the ability to get on the high road and who else is on there, the american people. they are looking at the bigger view. they are able to do that. not everybody can do that. of the money portion i hadn't thought about until you brought it up. if you're having a hard time raising some cash as the democrats are going to start to learn this lesson, it becomes difficult to walk out what you talk about. >> gillian: the group of senators that are establishing themselves in opposition to president trump, mcgrane, flick, corker, right now the goat don't constitute a direct threat him political he but when they start reaching five, ten, maybe more, then that's a real problem. >> brian: they have the same objective. tax reform, infrastructure, repeal and replace, foreign defense. they have the same object

country in talks with president ashraf ghani mr tillotson reiterated america's commitment to work with kabul to bring peace the meetings take place at bob graham airfield the u.s. is war just base in afghanistan. within touching distance of a deal that is how britain's prime minister to resign may described a bright sit negotiations with the european union today she spoke before parliament her tone was upbeat despite the fact that last week's round of negotiations ended without progress on the deal for britain to leave the e.u. we haven't reached a final agreement but it's going to happen. i have a degree of confidence i have a degree of confidence that we'll be able to get to the point of sufficient progress by december off of the from a speech that is a new momentum the front speech was a step forward and that should be a positive response to the willingness to work on the interim period and that has been established a momentum. there was a british prime minister there theresa may well i'm joined now by our correspondent charlotte shelves until she is on the story for us from boston brussels good evening to you charlotte so i have to ask you

mr. president, the republican senators who are cosponsoring the alexander-murray proposal in addition to me are senator rounds, senator graham, senator mccain, senator cassidy, senator collins, senator ernst, senator senator murkowski, senator burr, and senator corker. i thank them all for doing that and senator murray will talk about the equal number of democrat cosponsors that we have. we hope that senator mcconnell and senator schumer, the president of the united states, and the house of representatives will consider our proposal. this is a first step, improve it, pass it sooner rather than later. our purpose is to stabilize and then lower the costs of premiums in the individual insurance market for the year 2018 and 2019. in plain english, most americans get their insurance from the government or on the job. about 6% or 18 million americans go to the individual market to buy it. they are the ones we're worried about. they are the ones we're seeking to help. there are 350,000 in tennessee, songwriters, farmers, small businesses. they are the ones that could get the skyrocketing premiums or may not be able to buy insurance

graham said. >> i have zero concern that mr. mueller is in jeopardy of losing his job. effort to do it without a good reason would be holy hell to pay. >> not firing robert mueller but word that steve bannon is trying to encourage the president to defund mueller's investigation. to knee cap his investigation. >> i just don't think this is at all in the realm of possibility. congress would have to pass a bill in certain language to defund it and get the president to sign it. it's not going to happen. it won't be defunded whether he fires him or not is not something i can predict. there are many, many lawmakers here on capitol hill who are much more willing to protect mueller than to fire him. i think that is very clear from the people i talked to up here. i wouldn't be surprised to see that happen if there is any clue or hint that mueller is in danger. you have seen that in the senate which is usually the hard chamber to get things through. you have seen a perfect willingness from people like graham. if he is in danger we will do something about it. bannon can do whateve

mr. chairman. chairman: senator graham. sen. graham: for the record, that was more than a little bit. chairman: i thought it was important enough for senator whitehouse and senator sessions. maybe it will shorten it for other people. sen. graham: it was important, but it wasn't a little bit. chairman: i ought to be able to define a little bit. sen. graham: i'm joking. chairman: joking, ok. [laughter] give him back his time. sen. graham:'s is speaking back -- so speaking of letters not answered, august 30, senator grassley and i sent a letter to the department of justice wanting information related to drafting of memos exonerated -- exonerating secretary clinton before the july statement of director comey. we have got nothing back. do you think we will ever get an answer to that letter? a.g. sessions: do you need an answer or explaining why can't be answered? sen. graham: either way. a.g. sessions: i will take that make sure it happens. sen. graham: apparently on the fbi's website, they have got emails with no content suggesting that comey in may was talking and the title of this thing

graham. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you very much for holding this hearing. mrs. doherty, let's just continue. so there's a need for more i.c.e. agents, is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> we're having a hard time filling that need? >> yes, sir. >> is it fair to say illegal immigrants are not taking those jobs away? >> i don't believe they are, sir. >> looking for a job, call the i.c.e. people. so march 5th, if we do nothing in congress, what happens? >> thank you, senator. beginning march 5th, and each day after that, the validity date of the employment authorization documents will begin to expire for current daca recipien recipients. >> so people who have jobs will lose their legal status and no longer be gainfully employed. >> that is correct. they would no longer have the authorization to be employed. >> people who have lived here most of their lives. all their adult lives, will have no place to go other than being deported, right? >> unfortunately, lacking that authorization as well as the prosecutorial discretion from daca, they would no longer have a standing

mr. trump spent part of the weekend reaching out to the establishment, golfing with graham and rand paul on sunday. now very busy day here in addition to that lunch with the senate majority leader. the president's also going to have a cabinet meeting this morning and he heads to south carolina for a campaign event this evening. >> i find it all astounding the backdrop of course. steve bannon this weekend who is president's trump home boil any way you slice it, blasting mitch mcconnell and the gop establishment and there they are having lunch today. i want to go to capitol hill now. garrett hague is standing by. what's at stake for mcconnell at this lunch? there's no way he wants to go. >> reporter: that's right. i happen to think the lunch is just lunch but the stakes of getting something done on the budget and tax reform are immeasurably huge for this majority leader. his reputation as a deal maker and someone that can get things done and potentially his seat at the leadership table in the first place. republicans i've talked to over the last couple weeks have been essentially unanimous

mr. trump called mcconnell and invited him to today's lunch. >> ban noncan't beat us if we're successful. >> reporter: senator graham brushed off bannon's criticism and said mcconnell is not the problem. >> if we're successful, much mcconnell is fine. if we're not, we're all in trouble. >> reporter: over the weekend mcconnell noted his track record where his candidate conservative roy moore beat incumbent senator luther strange who was backed by the president and mcconnell. >>> iraq launch. ed a major military operation with kurdish forces against kirk kirkuk. things have escalated last month since the kurds fought for independence. the fighting has had lots of casualties but hasn't given a number. >>> the death toll is rising in somalia after what is called the largest attack in history. a man from minnesota is one of those reportedly killed. it happened on saturday in the heart of mogadishu, somalia's capital. they're claimed the zreekist group al shabaab. >>> his own brother says harvey weinstein is sick and needs help. bo >>> imagine flying from new york city to los angeles in just about three hours. >>> only on

mr. trump called mcconnell to discuss legislative priorities and invited him to lunch. senator graham brushed off bannon's criticisms and says leader mcconnell is not the problem. >> our problem is we promised and we failed. if we're successful, mitch mcconnell is fine. if not, we'll all in trouble. >> over the weekend ban reported his track record. and in alabama, his candidate moore beat luther strange who was backed by mcconnell and the president. >> we'll be watching. thank you. >>> iraq launched a military operation over kirkuk. many feel they could be inching toward civil war. tensions have escalated. hundreds of kurdish fighters took up inside kirkuk. both sides are american allies in the fight against isis. >>> the death toll is rising in somalia after what officials call the deadliest single attack in the nation's history. a man from minnesota was reportedly one of 300 people killed when powerful truck bomb went off in a crowded street. they're blaming al shabaab. >>> his own brother says harvey weinstein is sick and should face justice. ahead, bob weinstein's first public co

graham recently golfed with trump. >> i'll be curious to see if the members, mr. president can you wind down on attacking congresswoman wilson. can you focus on policy issues? can you in your future calls of widow's of veterans, say the right things and know their names? the congressional black caucus has asked chief-of-staff kelly to apologize for his comments about congresswoman wilson. i'd be curious to see if kelly abieds by that or does that because his comments were inaccurate. donald trump never apologizes. i'll be curious to see if john kelly apologizes. >> go ahead. >> that's the one true thing to watch for. it's not just an apology. it's recognizing that chief-of-staff kelly made -- ended up making a false statement when he talked about very critically what congresswoman wilson said at the dedication of an fbi building in her district. so let's see if he corrects the record. he is not president trump. he's never been seen as somebody who couldn't fix a mistake if he made it inadvertently and just one other thing about what may happen at that lunch, i don

mr. chairman. chairman: senator graham. sen. graham: for the record, that was more than a little bit. i thought it was important enough for senator whitehouse and senator sessions. maybe it will shorten it for other people. sen. graham: it was important, but it wasn't a little bit. i ought to be able to define a little bit. sen. graham: i'm joking. chairman: joking, ok. [laughter] give him back his time. sen. graham:'s is speaking back -- so speaking of letters not august 30, senator grassley and i sent a letter to the department of justice wanting information related to drafting of memos exonerated secretary clinton before the july statement of director comey . we have got nothing back. do you think we will ever get an answer to that letter? a.g. sessions: do you need an answer or explaining why can't be answered? sen. graham: either way. a.g. sessions: i will take that make sure it happens. sen. graham: apparently on the fbi's website, they have got contentith no suggesting that comey in may was talking and the title of this thing -- what is the title of this thing? julys of directo

graham. >> oh, my god am i so on board not just with the eagles but with mr. carson wentz.t a performance yesterday. i'm in. i'm on the band wagon. went wagon. both ways. >> that man is connecting. >> it was his best game as a pro ever. now we will start off the footage with kenjon barner. only because he wasn't even suiting up this year. only because of an injury to smallwood, he got an opportunity to do this. so i wanted to give him a shout out. tremendous run. he had three good runs yesterday. he made all of the difference in the world. but carson wentz, i had scott graham, voice of the nfl last night and i threw through every young quarterback his name at him, prescott, wentz, wentz, wentz, mariota, wentz, wentz. every name i threw through at him he went with wentz. that had mark barseta on, another guy that does national football, same thing. everybody is talking about him it is hard to believe this is just one great throw after another from wentz to burton, to torey smith and nelson agholor. at some point, think about this now, philly, think about this, we are going t

least three other republicans against the bill which means graham-cassidy wouldn't have passed whether he was in the hospital or not. to recap, mrpresident, 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 today to give a sneak preview of his new tax plan. but i'm sorry, you sho
