think about pressure on lisa murkowski. here is someone who is technically republican but went off as a write-in independent in alaska so exactly how much pressure -- >> amazing because her name is murkowski. that's not an easy name to write in. >> she literally taught voters a song to spell her name. i'm with susan on this one. i actually think one of the things the statement from mccain does is take pressure off collins and murkowski because also, it sets it up, think about if you are a more moderate republican who doesn't really want to vote for this and were maybe waiting, my reporting was a lot of people like senator rob portman, shelly moore-capito were waiting to see what lisa murkowski did and if she was voting for it they would reluctantly go along. we should say, i think this has the potential to open the flood gates and we could see even by the end of the day if not the conclusion of the weekend, they don't plan to put this on the floor next week. i could be wrong about that. >> the thing that strikes me is how s

kennedy: what about susan collins and lisa murkowski. of the two who is the most of likely to turn if they are offered the right presidential package. >> most of likely lisa murkowski. susan collins says her state is sinking under the weight of an opioid crisis. lisa murkowski seems to be hiding behind process and detail like the cbo score. kennedy: the cb portion won't be able to say with any accuracy who is going to lose insurance, how many people and when. though they have been wrong in the past. and that's giving ammunition to the democrats at well. >> there is no way the cbo can accurately score something like graham cassidy which will sent healthcare out into the 50 individual states. i don't think cbo can accurately score that within a week. lisa murkowski was praised by the liberals and the left. to me it's telling that they have gone ballistic over graham cassidy. chuck schumer is pulling out all the stops to oppose this bill which means it must have something going for it. if lisa murkowski wants to be the last senator standing

and so, lisa murkowski knows that. if she holds true to anything she said in june, july, then she will vote no and i hope we see she votes no in the days to come but about health care this whole bill is like the crazy ending of the horror movie. you think it's dead, it's like it's in the bathtub. it is underwater. you think it's dead and it rises again. so people still need to make the calls and go to protests this weekend. you still need to have your voice heard. >> watching "the walking dead" in the abandoned store looking for supplies, there's always a walker in there! they're never all dead. ej, the other person seems to be on the fence is susan collins, with a principle objection to the bill last night. here she is today talking about this bill. >> i obviously have very serious reservations about the bill. i do want to wait until i get the cbo analysis. >> i mean, ej, the thing is that, you know, even without the cbo weighing in, there's plenty of analysis talking about the fact the bill punishes the states that e

>> well, there were a lot of attempts to induce senator murkowski to vote for the bill. she has not so he had where she stands on this, and now that senator mccain has moved, it has changed the dynamic. recollect republican senators are feeling that he might provide them cover arguing it wasn't going to pass anyway. but there are disagreements with the bill and the objections that murkowski and collins had in the summer that have not been addressed sufficiently in the new legislation. and the way it was put together with no real assessment from the congressional budget office, that makes senators and others nervous. >> we know the rank and file republicans are anxious and hopeful to get this done because if they go back to the district without having done for promise, the future of the republican party could be in doubt. i don't mean to sound dramatic but they haven't done what they said. >> the senators said that they made a promise and worried that their political fortunes were in the balance. so there will be those who are furious they didn't get anything done and tho

and that's why senator murkowski is so doubtful.so she told her staff that this was one of the most meaningful votes that she took history making votes. i just can't see her coming down off of that for something that we don't even have a cbo score on let alone a hearing that many senators haven't even had a chance to view, and that basically another thing that shannon didn't mention in addition to the deadline at the end of this month for the insurers is that this is all being done as well to try and ram it through this procedural vehicle of reconciliation without democrats. it's on a partisan line. >> and shannon, the customers have a way of making their voices heard across this country. >> yes. i think that's a great point shannon made. i would point out two things, though. i would agree that murkowski is collins are probably out. i think mccain is going to be an interesting one to watch, because he has this relationship with lindsey graham, the cosponsor of this bill. so i could see maybe some deals being worked out or screws bei

special accommodations would have to be made in the bill for alaska to win over senator murkowski. see the entire story -- story online at the hill.com. an update on the cassidy graham proposal that could come up in the senate next week, along with a look at what a separate bipartisan effort to help change the market failed in the senate health committee. senate girds for final obamacare retail

murkowski landed in a tiny town in alaska. got off the plane and was cheered in the airport.of what dan sullivan her colleague is in these meetings as well is because he had the opposite experience. he received a lot of negative feedback when he came back home having voted yes on the republican package. he needs a little convincing as well. mccain similarly. he reveled in many ways in that moment of being seen as a hero to many people who opposed that health care legislation coming in at the last minute putting his thumb down in that video we've seen so many times. so i do think there are still significant challenges to finding one of them to vote yes for this. mccain quite notably has not been giving himself more room to vote for this. he has not said, well, they are having a hearing on tuesday, sothat means this is much closer to regular order. instead quoted by politico as insisting, i still have regular order around this bill and this is anything -- technically, i'm going to get myself in trouble with mcconnell's staff. technically it's regular order but we all know that

that's the key thing for senator murkowski.nd really lisa murkowski is the key vote because susan collins says he's not going to vote for it. rand paul said that he's not going to be voting for it. so lisa murkowski is key in this vote and is the person that graham and cassidy and mcconnell are working to get support for it. >> it's interesting to see how that's going to play out given the fact that lindsey graham said he doesn't support sweetening the deals. thank you. >>> still ahead in the wake of the deadly earthquake in mexico, with we're talk to a search and rescue engineer about the search for survivors. >>> we're following new developments overnight. those stories and a check on weather when we come back. boost. it's about moving forward, not back. it's looking up, not down. it's being in motion. in body, in spirit, in the now. boost® high protein it's intelligent nutrition with 15 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for when you need a little extra. boost® the number one high protein complete nutritional dri

when it comes to lisa murkowski, all about the data.ey want to make sure she knows they're willing to do whatever they can do get her on board. whatever the state of alaska needs, in terms of how that money would be paid out. whether or not any can answer the concerns of those two senators will dictate whether there's a vote and this passes. >> thank you for that. president trump has a jam-packed schedule today meting with the leaders of turkey and south carolina the press tweeting he would not sign graham/cassidy if did not concern preexisting conditions. >> here's the problem. the president just might be wrong. this plan lets states wave several key barack obama protections. they could allow carriers to charge people more based on the medical history. here's the latest from cnn reporter. >> reporter: president trump has finished his visit to the united natio nations. he was asked about a pressing domestic concern whether the republicans will succeed in repealing and replacing obamacare. >> we think this has a very big chance, but obam

senator murkowski: thank you. chairman alexander: thanks, senator murkowski. senator whitehouse. senator whitehouse: thank you very much, mr. chairman. i want to thank both you and senator murray for the comments that you made at the beginning of the hearing and join senator murkowski in endorsing and embracing what appears to be an emerging path towards a bipartisan solution here. to all the witnesses i assume that you will all agree that to the extent either through a risk pool or through reinsurance that you could lift the cost of certain very expensive conditions out of these markets, that that will have the effect of lowering premiums in those markets, is that an agreed base line fact here? yes. all heads nod. in turn, the effect of lowering the premium would be expected to attract more participation in the market opposite of adverse selection s. that also a base line principle we can agree on? yep, all heads nodding. that takes us to the question and i'd like to have mr. bragdon and ms. tomczyk address this. you have chosen, mr. bragdon, to do a reinsurance-type mechanism.

and lisa murkowski says she has many concerns. conservatives are leaning no's, so there is a big scramble to rewrite that bill with the deadline ahead. some call them routine changes, others sweeteners, and they think they can flat out buy votes for some over others. >> the changes that were made in this bill, and nothing gets the pulse pounding looking over 146 pages of legislative text at 10:00 p.m. on a sunday night, but the changes are subtle. take lisa murkowski, for example. a as you noted, still undecided about this bill. the state of alaska would get a significant bump-up for medicaid, up to 25% because it is defined as a low poverty state. it would get carve-outs because it is a low density state. including is automatic enrollment from any alaskan native who has benefited from the alaska program into the medicaid program. these are changes that almost entirely involve alaska alone and the type of things that lisa murkowski has been very concerned about. the cost of care up there is extraordinarily high, the size of the st

two things, one, i agree about senator murkowski.'s not been afraid to buck her party on this issue and i think she'll be the sort of key vote. in terms of president obama, look, i think that was a shot across the bough today. very calm, studies obama way to say look, if you go forward with this, it's a you broke it, you brought it type of message from the president. >> more news we're following including new problems for a member of president trump's cabinet. democrats want to know about reports, the health and human services secretary, tom price used private jets costing taxpayers thousands of dollars. >> president understands -- >> bendy... spendy weekenders. whatever kind of weekender you are, there's a hilton for you. book your weekend break direct at hilton.com and join the weekenders. duncan just protected his family with a $500,000 life insurance policy. how much do you think it cost him? $100 a month? $75? $50? actually, duncan got his $500,000 for under $28 a month. less than $1 a day! his secret? selectquote. in just minut

need to make sure the last couple republicans we win over, as you know they're john mccain, lisa murkowskiaul. that's our path to victory >> and cruz added his name of people needing convincing >> looking right now, they won't have my vote and i don't think they have mike lee's either >> no word on how las ski's lisa murkowski will vote. john mccain said he will not vote for this legislation. senator rand paul has sit the same. white house legislative director mark short told fox news sunday there will not be major changes >> we have been continuing to talk to various senators, not just murkowski but ways to re fine the formula. we're taking dollars out to washington, dc and sending it to the states >> the deadline is september 30th. republicans only votes a simple majority come october, they need 60, in washington, ellison barber, fox news. >>> we'll get a final check of your wake-up forecast after the break. we'll be right back. . >>> one more look at the forecast. >>> keeping the heat going. we got another day see upper 80's, few low 90's. plenty of sunshine into the week, few clouds on

and you're not going to see collins or murkowski turn around on this. >> i am the optimist. i think you can get murkowski and rand paul becomes a key. james, you followed this relationship. how much of this would a psychiatrist is john mccain unable to see his friend lindsey graham achieve the great legislative achievement in 20 years that eluded john mccain. >> that's a good question. obviously lindsey and john are so close. two of the three amigos. mccain doesn't like donald trump. never has. even pwredz he wasn't a hero for getting captured in vietnam. i know he didn't want to be the deciding vote against his best friend's legislation. he didn't want to be the guy that killed it. he didn't want to be there. he is thinking about legacy. he has brain cancer. i really believe he is thinking about his obituary, what is going to be the conversation after he passes away. and i think he wants to be seen as a statesman. he thinks going -- >> let me ask you about the other person at the center of this rand paul. he tweeted he will not be bullied or pwraoeub. he is party of one. he

at the end of the day, lisa murkowski -- read lisa murkowski's statement. she is a good indication of where people are we spent a lot of time of making alaska's health care better, not just place -- replace obamacare. with a new process, with more hearings, with regular order that we are going to get 50 votes. the reason i say that is because i believe it and it is not about our idea of being lacking, it is about the process, about the short period of time we have. the leader could knew nothing about that. these are the rules of the senate. to anybody out there who thinks that mitch mcconnell is -- has not done all he can, you do not know what you are talking about. anybody out there who thinks president trump is not engaged, he is fully engage with a lot of topics including health care. i just want you to understand what bill said is true. we do not have the votes this saturday. it is not because of the substance of the idea. it is because of the process, the hand we were dealt. losing ancelebrating opportunity to repeal and replace obamacare because it is

lisa murkowski. three seats there. is susan collins. abby: waiting on a tweet on susan collins in a moment. this is interesting, he has tweeted out this morning saying he knows rand paul and thinks he can get there. we don't know where that's coming from. if they have maybe had conversations behind closed doors or is he trying to convince him via twitter to move on this bill to vote yes on it the reason why it is so important is every vote matters. pete: rand paul voted yes on the skinny bill. agitating against it for a along time. he ultimately was a yes. it was murkowski, collins, and mccain. so if can he keep rand paul and pick up one of the two others, putting pressure on them then you get to that 50. griff griff we have to ask our next guest dan bongino. rand paul said he was a no on this out of the gate because it doesn't go far enough to repeal. so therein lies the problem. pete: that's right. we will bring in former nypd officer and host of the renegade republican dan bongino. i assume you don't have any though

murkowski throws up her hands.hool pages may have just gotten a front row seat to a couple of senators deciding the fate of health care once again. >> david chalian, what did you make of that? >> i don't mean to sound like the dork that i am, but when i have the luxury of being able to watch the senate floor, that's exactly how i watch it, for all those kinds of maneuverings. great eyes on that. listen, murkowski and mccain clearly are the targets here. and to get to your point of what you were citing from phil mattingly's reporting earlier, part of what john mccain is really concerned about is this rushing it through and not following the sort of regular order procedures of how a bill makes its way through the senate, getting buy-in from all the stakeholders, the public and representatives having time to digest it all. that's not happening here. that's clearly a concern for him. and lisa murkowski emerged from the meeting today still without weighing on which side she is on this bill. they were two of the three th

where's murkowski? >> murkowski is doing due diligence she calls it. spoke with her several times think week and working with the governor of her state. bill walker has come out against this. working with cassidy the office to understand exactly how this affects as alaska. this is exactly how she sounded on the bill for skinny repeal. past one of the votes to kill it. keeping hur powder dry. not seeing where she is, but be very skeptical. >> is she open to the idea cassidy/graham might find a way to make it better for alaska and hawaii over and above the other 48 states? >> certainly says she would. >> she would be open to that? a better deal for alaska even if not good for the rest of the system? >> based on what she's said, she wants to know how it will affect her constituents first and foremost forming the basis of the decision she makes. hard for mere to see he getting to yes at this point but she's not closed that door. collins is the likeliest third vote. >> at this point, a murkowski vote might not matter. mcconnell would pull the bill. >> mitch

i think if they get caught looking like they're buying a vote with lisa murkowski, i think politicallymes even more problematic, perhaps for her as well. i think she's mindful of that. look, andrea, it appears they've got the same issues. you've got four potential no votes sitting out there, lisa murkowski, susan collins, rand paul and john mccain, and all of their previous complaints, this bill doesn't answer any of them, right? rand paul believes you got to repeal the whole thing. this essentially keeps a lot of the architecture in place. john mccain is a no because he wants regular order. they are obviously not doing regular order. susan collins and lisa murkowski are worried about the substance of the bill, worried about the medicaid expansion in particular, but also the issue of preexisting conditions. the fact of the matter is, this is the problem. they have not been able to successfully defend the idea. they claim those with preexisting conditions are going to be protected, but there is no guarantee that the states will do that. they're hoping the states will do that. they're in

. ( laughter ) murkowski was one of only two republican senators who voted against bringing the g.o.pcare bill to the floor on tuesday. ( cheers and applause ) yeah, yeah. that clapping means you're not donald trump, because trump tweet-wedgied her: "and with "and with this tweet, i just let them down a little further. too bad!" okay, that's tough talk. but she's not up for reelection until 2022, so he's got nothing on her, he can't threaten her. which is why the trump administration has threatened retribution against the entire state of alaska over murkowski's votes. he's got to. because donald trump knows that being president is like being in prison-- you've got to walk up to the biggest state in the union and just jack 'em. otherwise, the senate smells weakness and turns you into their sweetmeats for the next three and a half years. but i'm surprised trump would threaten alaska. they've got a lot in common. he got his start on reality shows, just like every citizen of alaska did. apparently, murkowski and alaska's other senator both got a threatening call from interior secretary an

as we know, senator murkowski is in her home state this weekend and i'm told she's meeting with somee remember that last time when she went home after voting no, she told these stories about being greeted with tearful voters in her airport, thanking her for voting against this bill. and she has made it very clear, perhaps more than anybody else in the caucus, that whatever the decision comes down to, it is going to be all about alaska and sort of the culmination of these disastrous health care effects that the state sort of suffers from. and that it is going to be all about those meetings and what she hears from her people. so any color that we get there those meetings that she has with her voters and her constituents, they are going to be very, very important. >> and mccain getting out early with his "no" only adds to the spotlight. she's not hiding behind anybody else at the momentum. i'll close with this. much has been made of the president trump versus stephen bannon subplot of the alabama runoff. he's making an appearance for alabama justice roy moore. why the high profile? bann

kasie caught up with lisa murkowski yesterday and tracked her down.some of that interview. >> are you ready to support it? >> no. >> why not? >> because i am doing the due diligence that i committed to doing yesterday. what i have had an opportunity to do is to sit down with my team, who has sat down with hhs and we are ferreting out lots of numbers. >> reporter: so murkowski is flying back to alaska today. she likes to do her homework on these long flights. stephanie, here's why i love the personal drama of the senate. last time after she voted no on the health care bill, lisa murkowski got met at the airport in sitka, alaska, from people who wanted to hug her and thank her for that no vote. she's likely going to remember that the next couple of days. john mccain also in very similar circumstances but with his best friend, lindsey graham, on the other side pushing for this bill. they are the two folks to watch right now. >> that is a game-changer for john mccain. lindsey graham is his home boy. we should note that lisa murkowski before she voted no a

i'm talking about senators rand paul, senator lisa murkowski and john mccain. here's one of the tweets, john mccain never had any intention of voting for this bill. let arizona down. so president trump accusing senator mccain of letting his state down, letting his party down, and letting his party down really twice in two months. remember, senator mccain cast the deciding vote or one of the deciding votes back in july. now, this time as well. so senator mccain says that he's simply is voting his conscience. he believes that he should not be voting for a bill that does not have at least some bipartisan support. arthel? arthel: thank you very much. talk to you later. eric: fox news alert, did you hear what north korea's foreign minister called president trump today? did you hear what he threatened? the fiery rhetoric intensifying between washington and pyongyang. the top diplomat delivered a blistering speech at the united nations general assembly today. the minister calling president trump, quote, a mentally deranged person. this comes after the president said a

him and rand paul's no vote but then it comes down to murkowski and susan collins.ll also affect alabama as you've been talking about because it's a reminder of the swamp, the con that we've been undergoing., >> jeanine: let me ask you this -- is there any chance of a democrat coming on board? >>>> no. but there's a chance that susan collins is going down, she's leaning again today. she was against all the other repeal efforts. we could do a bipartisan deal. add more competition. as we did with the debt ceiling, american people are very happy with that and trump's numbers are going up. this is where it is heading. this is not going to work, and i think tammy is right. it will impact alabama but help judge avoid more and hurt luther strange. >> jeanine: as i said earlier, he got 9 million from mitch mcconnell's pac. if you would think in order to get the votes in the senate, anyone who disappoints him -- this is politics, not church. anyone who disappoints him -- he punishes them and take away their committee memberships. the assignments. why isn't mitch mcconnell do

those republicans, are john mccain, lisa murkowski, susan collins and rapid fall paul.path to victory. >> cruz added his name to that list. a speech in texas. >> you're not necessarily against it. >> right now, they don't have my vote and i don't think they have mike lee's either. >> no word how alaska murkowski will vote. senator john mccain says he will not vote for this legislation. senator rand paul has said the same. white house legislative director mark short told fox news sunday there will be not be major changes. >> i don't think there's significant changes, chris. we have continuing to talk to various senators not just murkowski ways to refine the formula what we're actually doing as he know we're taking dollars out of the washington, d.c. sending it out to the states. >> reporter: deadline for this is september 30th. right now republicans only need 50 yes votes simple majority to pass this legislation. come october they need 60. in washington, i'm ellison barber, fox news. >>> in two minutes a black hawk tangles with a drone over new york city. not good. and f

murkowski is very much in doubt.re are others who are very much in question, like from ohio, they had medicaid expansion. and west virginia, that is a stage that would lose. and also the two senators from iowa. tony ernst and chuck. it so i think that's the playing field is a little bit bigger than we have been thinking. and they cannot lose any of the senators if susan collins and rand paul go against the graham-cassidy bill. >> heather: so obviously, that makes the meeting between pens and the governor all the more important, and a john mccain had said that he would go the way of his governor, and his governor there in arizona has said that he will support the bill. so do you think that -- of course, we are now being told that mccain is still carefully looking at it. so do you think that if the governor of maine decides to go along with it, that's collins will do the same? >> not necessarily, i mean, she might, and it certainly would help, and that is one of the reasons i vice president pens is meeting with the gov

murkowski hasn't said how she's leaning and they still don't have those votes >> do what i think is right for the people of maine and that those country. that's what led me to my decision to today. >> senator collins joins ran paul and mccain short of the 50 votes it needs. they have to pass the bill before the end of the month, end of the week at this point, right now they can pass it under budget reconciliation. mike pence comes in votes yes, it's law but the opportunity expires september 30 >>> north korea stepped up things accusing president trump of declaring war. north korea's foreign minister claimed the tweet that the north won't be around much longer constitutes a declaration of war. >> we will have every right to make measures including the right to shoot down the united states strategic bomber >> we've not declared war on north korea. the suggestion is absurd. >> and the constitution says you can't declare via tweet. you say bombers flew an international air space off the north korean coast. military doesn't appear to be backing down saying u.s. has the right to fly in that air

and i believe both collins and murkowski will vote no.s is dead, and i think portman might, in fact, vote no, that there will be one or two other republicans who don't want to see their state devastated by this crazy block grant. let's be clear, the block grants, and i'm quoting from the kaiser family foundation, so we're not just talking about rhetoric. this is probably one of the most reputable sources. the graham/cassidy proposal revamps and cuts medicaid, redistributes federal funds across states, and eliminates, eliminates, coverage for millions of poor americans. the republican party and donald trump do not care about killing millions of americans and making them sick. that's the reality. and it is amazing, christi, that here we are talking about the hero john mccain that all he has done is agreed to vote no on a proposal that will take away health care from millions of americans. block grants -- block grants don't work. stephen, you had your chance. >> yeah, but we did it -- >> go ahead, jonathan. >> stephen mentioned welfare. it d

i agree that murkowski and collins are probably hout out. mccain is going to be an interesting one to watch because he has this relationship with lindsey graham, the cosponsor of this bill. so i could see maybe some deals being worked out or some screws being turned to get him on board. and rand paul, i could also see a deal being worked out with rand paul, maybe for something else to get rand paul over. so i think susan collins and murkowski are solid nos but i would still keep an eye on rand paul and mccain. it ain't over till it's over. >> we have a drama. it happens to involve one sixth of the nation's economy. our great thanks to heidi and shannon. thank you both for coming on. something tells me we're going to be talking about this every night for the near future. coming up we are watching an explosive more rodding hurricane and fearing it has puerto rico in its sites. when you drop a 603-horsepower v8 biturbo engine into one of mercedes-benz's finest luxury sedans, what do you get?

murkowski was no on the skinny repeal bill in july, so-called. president republican sources hope this team would be different if for no other reason than john mccain's best friend in the world is lindsay graham, author of the bill. >> shepard: what are you hearing from democrats? >> they're voi vowing to continue the fight, praising senator mccain for standing up and stopping this bill. bottom line, a number of democrats say they pish the bipartisan talks to try to fix obamacare were continuing. >> i felt like we were making steady pros toward a bipartisan compromise to address the challenges and problems with obamacare repeal. there's an an abrupt halt by the republican leadership, we will have a vote this coming week on this bill. i have concerns how it will affect delaware and the country and i plan to vote against it. >> mitch mcconnell intends to bring up graham-cassidy next week but that was before he had two hard no votes against the bill. >> mike emmanuel, thanks. >> shepard: chris wallace, moderator of "fox news sunday." john mccain gave

we have been continuing to talk to various senators, not just collins, murkowski on ways to refine theormula. what we're doing as you know is we're taking dollars out of washington, d.c. and sending it to the states. >> deadline for this september 30th. right now republicans only need 50 yes votes a simple majority to pass this legislation. come october, they need 60. arthel? arthel: ellison barber, thank you. eric? eric: meanwhile, puerto rico, it is still recovering from the horrible damage caused by hurricane maria. officials there are now keeping a very close eye on a failing dam that's near san juan, they say it is threatening to collapse from flooding. and thousands of people downstream from that dam have been ordered to evacuate. and still after days later, the entire island remains without power. garrett tenney is live in old san juan, puerto rico, with more, but at least according to reports, it is pretty orderly, kind of calm, and people are doing the very best they can with resolve and resistance. hi, garrett. >> eric, that area in western puerto rico has received more rain

susan collins of maine, lisa murkowski of alaska. trump told the crowd tonight health care is what brought him to alabama. he said when he called his friend senator luther strange in the last vote, strange told him he had his back. >> luther did that for me and i remembered luther. we have to be loyal in life, you know, there's something called loyalty with these folks. and i might have made a mistake. and i'll be honest. i might have made a mistake, because, you know, here is the story. if luther doesn't win, they're not going to say we picked up 25 points in a very short period of time. they're going to say donald trump, the president of the united states, was unable to pull his candidate across the line. it is a terrible, terrible moment for trump. and you know what? and i told luther, i have to say this, if his opponent wins, i'm going to be here campaigning like hell for him. >> our lead-off panel tonight to talk about all of this, whether they like it orment, christine that bell an tony is with us, michael lesson is back with u

murkowski of alaska and joskbr mccain. asked senator mccain a couple times he says that's not regular order. i want more than that. of note, lindsey graham, working on him. the other person, lisa murkowski. i spoke to her early on. she said i'm not going to be bought off. i if she sticks to that policy going forward, it's going to be tough to see her get to yes. but, she's back in alaska. i'm told the trump administration officials have been reaching out to her repeatedly making sure she knows they're available at all times. i can also tell you on capitol hill we're seeing a series of draft proposals going back and forth about ways to make alaska better in the bill. the big question is will it actually work. because it it doesn't, they most certainly won't have the votes. if it does, in ex-week show time. >> all right. >> not "dancing with the stars," folks. >> all right. answers from equifax? so does congress. heading to capitol hill. why did it take them so long? what in the world is going on behind there? details neck.

it is a clear nod to senator murkowski.allows native americans and alaskans to continue their eligibility after the 2020. cnn's athena jones has more. >> reporter: good morning. a lot of eyes are going to be on gop senator susan collins, earlier this week she expressed serious doubts about in latest effort to repeal obamacare. here's what she had to say. >> it's very difficult for me to envision a scenario where i would end up voting for this bill. i have a number of serious reservations about it. i'm concerned about the impact on the medicaid program, which has been on the books for more than 50 years and provides health care to our most vel special citizens, including disabled children and low income seniors. >> she's concerned about this on cost and coverage. that's why she's wait to go see how the bill is scored. what sort of sense the senators can get about the number of people who will still have coverage. we also heard over the weekend from texas senator ted kroouz -- more voice choices when it um, cans to coverage t

and murkowski in particular is a stickler for this sort of thing.to cast a vote on a bill she doesn't understand. so republicans are up against the clock and they just don't have the information over how it's going to work in their states. >> are we listening to something here now? >> you tell me. it's your show. i don't think so. >> i was just trying to keep track of it all. garrett haake on what is going on on this health care situation. maybe there's a vote next week, maybe there isn't. >>> let's get back to the search for the survivors after the earthquake in mexico city. i think i've got mariana available. she's been covering this all morning. you've got a statement from mexican officials? >> that's right, ali. the statement that i cited before here on the show, i have obtained the statement right now. this is from the general of the mexican marine corps. it clarifies some of the points -- some of the theories we've been hearing on the ground throughout the morning. he says in this primary school behind me, there are 19 children that have been

the other vote that was in doubt as you know senator lisa murkowski of alaska.ll, dig into the policy of this bill. this was going to be, of all the different versions that have come up, this was goto

that means mccain, collins or murkowski.win two of them. >> it looks like they're probably not going to get collins' vote, chris. i would be extremely surprised if that happen. the focus is honing in on lisa murkowski. they're trying really hard behind the scenes to scrape together some sort of deal for alaska that could help her get to where she needs to be. john mccain has kept some remarkable distance from this, considering he and lindsey graham are basically best friends in the senate. he keeps saying, hey, i want regular order. this is technically regular order, but it's very unusual to have a bill of this magnitude forced through in a week and a half. i think they still have a long way to go. the mood has definitely shifted among republicans. they went home, they talked -- it's not just big donors, chris, it's people they have known for their whole careers. their local chamber of commerce. a lot of people who said, hey, why can't you get anything done? i think that's what's really motivating this new push. >> are they

host: have we seen a tell from lisa murkowski on what she's thinking about? guest: she has a lot of questions. she is keeping her options open. she is not forecasting either way what she is thinking. she is back in alaska. she talked about how that's a place where she can think about things. the is something i think republican senate caucus definitely wants to do -- wants to know sooner rather than later if they have the votes. they don't want to go through something like they went through in july. host: on our republican line from wisconsin, go ahead. caller: i'm watching this little girl. where do you find these people at? this girl has no experience in anything with health care? host: we have invited her to talk to you and answer questions. do you have a question? caller: yes. get your experience from? been a health care reporter lon capitol hill for the past two years. i talked to lawmakers daily about these issues, try to understand where they are coming from and what they are thinking. talk to analysts and experts about what -- that's where i get my exp

is the deciding no - >> let me ask you, it's also not clear where alaska senator lisa murkowski would stand on this or some of those other gop senators on the fence. do you think that we will see them, john mccain said he basically against the, the way this was handled, not necessarily against and replacing just the way the went through, what do you think we're going to end up with some of these other senators. >> what they're hoping is they don't have to make a decision. but there's now three people who it's pretty clear they would vote against it. so mitch mcconnell may just pull the vote and say fine, we don't have the votes we're not going to do it. but this is a very difficult vote to make for a few senators, who were maybe on the more moderate end of the spectrum and who states would be losing fund fog this bill came through for healthcare. and so what they're thinking is let's just put it to a thought. let's not have to vote on this. but lisa murkowski, she would have been had a very difficult time voting yes, the last time this plan doesn't look great for alaska and she probab

. >> there is a lot of attention on alaska republican senator lisa murkowski. the bills lead sponsor says the time to attract democrats is over. >> there is zero possibility in a bipartisan manner to replace obamacare. i'm not interested in continuing it. murkowski, john mccain, susan collins with the three republican senators who defeated health care form in july. within end of the month deadline to do this, pressure is building on undecided republicans. president trump is pressing them for a different outcome tweeting "i hope republican senators will vote for graham-cassidy and fulfill their promise to repeal and replace obamacare. money directed states." because there are many concerns i have about the graham-cassidy proposal. they include the fact that they make fundamental changes in the medicaid program for the first time in more than 50 years. stick with the president is also pressuring the kentucky senator who says he has a "no" ." "rand paul is a friend of my but he is such a negative force when it comes to fixing health care. graham-cassidy bill is gr

murkowski being heavily courted, however. politico reported that alaska could get relief from senate repeal bills. any way, analysis of the bill says $21 million would lose coverage by 2026 under this plan. 21 less million people covered than are being covered now by obamacare. meanwhile, the man charged with implementing the bill should it pass, tom price, is facing serious scrutiny of his own. politico reporting that price traveled by private plane at least 24 times on taxpayer's expense, the cost exceeding $300,000. he always on a chartered flight rather than a scheduled flight. here is what i think. sabrina, you first. i think this thing is dead as a cucumber, whatever it is, dead as a door nail. and the reason i think, you've got 32 republicans now, no matter what they say in the leadership who haven't committed to the bill. >> it's hard to imagine that mitch mcconnell can bring this bill to the floor when the math doesn't add up. they can lose two republican senators. you had a couple of holdouts in murkowski and collin

murkowski i think is possibly on the table for flipping collins.rning looking like she is going to be a strong no. they have a slim window, but it's tiny and i think they have a lot of work to do the next few days. chris: kim, i know you think this will be a big mistake for the republican party if after 7 years they don't repeal and replace obamacare. kimberly: they will have another defeat head right into this tax reform debate. they will be disunified and it does not bode well for their other priorities. chris: we have to take a break. things get personal between 39* and the leader -- between president trump and the leader of north korea. go to facebook or twitter @"fox go to facebook or twitter @"fox news sunday" and we may use your my bladder leakage was making me feel like i couldn't spend time with my grandson. now depend fit-flex has their fastest absorbing material inside, so it keeps me dry and protected. go to depend.com - get a coupon and try them for yourself. there's nothing more important than your health. go to depend.com - so if you

that was the big snare for lisa murkowski and collins in the last go around with health care repeal andit could be bad news and good news for them but if there is a way of tinkering with legislation and making it more level -- which they found under obamacare, you could see them turn in the end. >> dana: jesse, it's going to pass. it's going to pass in the senate. >> jesse: the only time you were wrong. >> dana: i know. but i could still be right. >> jesse: [laughs] whatever you say, dana. >> dana: they could get this cbo -- the number that tells you how much is going to cost, if they can get that and get this passed by saturday, they are in. >> jesse: yeah, you can see trump having repealed obamacare, tax reform, and massive border funding all by the end of the year. that could be huge turnaround from what we found the first six months of the year. i am cautioning the republicans. when you take it with health care, make it a soft off-ramp for people because you don't want to disrupt the markets and strip health care away from people especially with the midterm elections around the corn
