ideal.onps so in conclusion the nonpartisan scorekeepers have spoken loud and clear with no ambiguity trump care means higher costs and less care to the american people in the average american her let's not lose sight ofh what's at stake the well-being of the american people is on the line and there are life-and-death consequences for so many millions of people they are relying on us so for the good of the country president johnson our republican colleagues stop sabotaging the health care system and work with the democrats. we're waiting to fix the health care system. >> mr. president i want to spend time talking about how zero bad the obamacare is

but what does that mean to you, the average american if you can't have access to that in a ay that is affordable. 51 years ago dr. king said and i say this all the time. of all the forms of inequality, this is the most shocking because it often results in physical death. so again, this appropriation bill is a way for us to help meet the needs of the american people. this appropriations committee did an excellent job in resolving differences and putting forth the balance of equities as we go forward. but let us not give with one hand and take away with the other as we in the same 24-hour period say, aren't we wonderful, $2 billion based on biomedical research. under the republicans' health care plan would benefit the privileged few at the expense of america's working families. that's not what we are supposed to be doing here. what we are taking pride in is a great possibility but let's make those possibilities available. and i say that as one who served for many years on the appropriations committee and one of the goals in life was to sit on the labor-h.h.s. committee and to increase t

isasi: you represent the average american family. you are who we are fighting for. you make a great point, which is when we all can contribute we can make a system that ensures all people have access to health care. the numbers are astronomical. we spend over $2 trillion a year on health care. it is a huge amount of money. a dollar a day makes a difference but we have to make thatvestment to ensure there is enough funding in the system that you and all of the families in america -- and you represent the typical family -- have access to coverage that isn't going to blow up the bank. if your child gets sick, you lose your house. these were things that were happening before we put protections into law through the affordable care act and that is what we need to make sure remain in place. steve: get more information by logging onto families usa. this is a tweet from sigmund freud who says "basic health services should not be denied. health care beyond that is a responsibility." .r. isasi: it is a point what is in federal law is that uses federall that funds, they have to

of course, these dreams are a nightmare for the average working american. the trump budget cuts transportation funding, education funding, programs that help students repay their student debt. one of the greatest burdens on middle-class kids and something that's slowing the country's housing recovery, the trump budget which seeks more than a trillion dollars in cuts to medicaid and health care would decimate healthcare options for rule americans, children, seniors and pull the rug on many of our rural hospitals throughout the hous country. earlier, our colleague senator cornyn of texas stated this budget is a proposal of the presidents priorities. if that's true, it's clear the president has prioritized breaking his promises to the working people of america. for example, on the campaign trail he promised over and over he wouldn't cut social security, medicare and medicaid. with this budget he cuts two out of three. he cut social security disability benefits and cuts medicaid by $1 trillion. the great irony of the trump agenda is that it hurts many of the peo

i think the average american will care more what robert mueller says then what was some democratic congressmentos. >> martha: i would venture to guess that the average american cares more about tax reform, a lot more about health care. they are looking at people in your position and saying, the g.o.p. has control of the house, seven, the white house, this is not what we expected. we didn't expect monthly spending over the russia situation. why don't you all just get back to work and let this take its own, and out of the special prosecutor has been put in place, can they expect that will happen? >> i hope so. if you are exactly right. the senate needs to produce a health care bill. i think they can do it. then, we move onto tax reform. we do the ethics reform to drain the swamp, we do things to build the wall. if you do that, that is what the average american cares about. >> martha: you have a lot of republicans who have sort of been voicing some serious concerns about president trump and about how much security he has right now in his position. what do you think about that? is this a moment

gifted the sat is administered when they are in seventh and eighth grade and there is a category of children who are able to perform quite highly on that test, far higher than the american -- the averagemerican highschooler is able to do. if you look at the children who perform well on the sat in middle school, they usually end up having successful careers. host: we are joined by pratik chougule, the executive editor of the american conservative. he is here as part of our spotlight on magazine series, talking about his piece about the u.s. education system and how it has left intellectual children and their parents behind. democrats can call (202)-748-8000. republicans, (202)-748-8001. independents, (202)-748-8002. parent of a gifted child, we encourage you to call into this conversation as well. howarticle you wrote is america has turned against smart kids. is that the way you see this, do you see the education system as turning against intelligent children? guest: i do, and i don't think this is a new development. there has been an extraordinary degree of ambivalence toward high iq children which has bordered on hostility. i talk about why that is. i think the arguments are largely

the top 20% of americans. and the middle class average american would have got a thousand dollar tax cut. that's not my view of a fair and and balanced tax cut. so i think more of the equation is to give them more of a tax break so they can get our growth rate up to a higher level. with retirement savings, that's a whole other level. 401 ks and ira's have helped and also faced to undersaving and we need to think about a comprehensive restructuring of that whole program. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. neal. you're recognized. >> that can you, mr. chairman. i think it's safe to say that all of you have expressed some level of support for moving to a cash flow system and one of the opportunities we have during hearings like this and this being one of the first hearings we're going to have is having folks like yourselves be able to speak before the american people here in congress but begin to talk about these switching from this acruel system to a cash flow system and all the benefits that will do for the american people in terms of not only growth in the economy but also wage growth and why

500,000 dollars a year get a tax break while middle-class and older americans get the short end of the stick. here we are telling average americans they will get less coverage that they are going pay for so they can get the multimillionaire a tax break. who would be for that? more and more americans find ous a vote over there is going to be much less popular even than it is today and it's very unpopular today. 17% of americans like the bill. hard to get lower than that but i think as people learn more and more about this bill it will get even lower. the house republicans have added an amendment that makes the bill even more cruel. would allow states to opt out other requirement to cover pre-existing conditions for thee services they need. god forbid if you have a pre-existing condition and live in a state that doesn't meet the requirement you're only option might the poorly subsidized high-risk pool which might be forced to wait in line for virtually unaffordable coverage. remember the scare tactic used against obama kerik on the death penalty these high-risk pools, long lines and affordable coverage are the real death

glass door.com say some summer interns will earn more than double the average american worker. we're talking about interns here. most of these are big name businesses. listen to this, facebook will pay this summer's interns $8,000 a month. microsoft interns are the second highest amount, $7,100. and third place exxonmobil interns will receive just over $6,500 a month. i've never heard such of a thing. that's a whole heck of a lot of money. >>> two days ago, folks were walking around in tank tops and shorts. >> honestly, today is not so bad. it won't be quite as warm as yesterday. about a ten-dream drop. temperatures today topping out upper 60s to maybe a few spots up near 70 degrees. then the bottom falls out. we've got that with the ten-day forecast coming up. >>> months after someone scribbled graffiti on several national monuments. police think they need help fiens finding their man. ♪ >>> once he hit hard times now he's hitting all the right notes. the remarkable story of resilience after a virginia man went from the jailhouse to the opera house. ♪ >>> good morning, we're lo

so for the average american, raised interest rates obviously will mean higher mortgage rates potentially on the long end of course. auto loan rates will go up. hopefully we'll begin to see some of those savings rates increase for the consumer. obviously we've seen it with a lot of the thin tech companies and the community banks. i'd love to see some of the larger investment banks and commercial banks begin to raise the savings rates for the average consumer as well. we'll also hopefully see the banks earnings increase because they'll be able to start making money again which will be great for everyone if you have a 401(k) or savings. >> when it comes to those savings rates, amen to that. if you are somebody saving for retirement or college or something should you be doing anything differently than what you've been doing at this point? >> not solely based on what's happened over the last week. hopefully you're investing for the long-term and your financial advisor is positioning you for the time horizon in which you currently have and in which you'll need the money. so changing something

used that to an advantage worldwide because of the technology, and because in america, i believe most americans stay within the confines of america. the average american does not go worldwide or travel to other areas of the country and experience a lot of information that i think will help them differentiate between truth and untruth, when you have the outlet of the internet and all this information causes them to form opinions, and they are at each other's throats. through notffort only the russians but through the technology being used independently by people who want to get their agendas out there. the great job of that is being done right now. we are wasting more time investigating things that are just -- as opposed to things that are literally going on that are important. habit suggest that america gets back to the point of what is truth based on what they know, and know for a fact, as opposed to all this information coming out in the fight to separate and divide us as a country. guest: it's a good point. during the election cycle we saw and itws sites pop up, is easier than ever to set up a website and start publishing. during the elect

keith: i do not think there is any evidence that suggests the average american -- the last election wetalking about policies and political figures more than any time in political history. it is the contrary. people are more informed than ever. secondarily, i think fake news as an excuse that a lot of people use and they used to be gatekeepers, to filter views and opinions. and they want to answer themselves back into the process of having a role of filtering. the internet as a whole has eliminated third parties, in terms of -- i think the fake news is a politically charged, biased approach to constraining a set of opinions. defined in the united states fairly narrowly. in the united states, it is difficult to get tech companies to comply with laws passed by parliament or a regulatory regime because we have a very broad protection of the first amendment that does not apply in europe. the definition of hate speech are broader and more wide than would ever be possible here to prevent. emily: fake news or misinformation was an issue following the manchester terror attack. now, the u.k. gov

these dreams are a nightmare of the average working american. the trump's budget transportation funding and education funding and programs helping students repaying their students debt. one of the greatest burden on middle class. tru trump's budget will seek millions of dollars and decimate healthcare options for children and seniors and pulling the rugs on many of our rural hospitals throughout the country. now earlier, our colleagues senator cornyn of texas stated that this budget is "proposal of the president's priority." well, if it is that true. it is clear that the president has prioritizing breaking his promises to the working people of america. on the campaign trail, he promised over and over again, he would not cut social security, medicare and medicaid. with this budget, he cuts two out of three. he cuts social security disability benefits and medicaid by a trillion dollars. the great irony of the trump agenda, it hurts many of the people who supported him in the campai campaign. there is no clear examples of this irony than his budget.

the average american, let me say this clearly, the average american receives 26 and 28 inches of rain a year and we sbe received 32 inches in 36 hours. this was an extraordinary event. and we have seen extraordinary events in this country whether it be 9/11, whether it be the joplin tornadoes or the tuscaloosa tornado, hurricane sandy or katrina. we had extraordinary events that happened. and each time we've this h. these events, congress stepped up and they recognize that stafford act, the primary act for responding to hurricanes, excuse me, to disasters is insufficient. and that in those extraordinary events, they step up and let american people know that we have their back and we're going to be there. in the case of this 1,000-year flood event, we had about 112,000 homes flood. 112,000 homes. and so, you know, multiply that, do the family with the families and the additional businesses on top of it. to date, i want to thank the appropriations committee. i want to thank the members here approximately $1.6 billion have been provided to help recover our communities. this flood, again,

based on free market principles that will lower costs and to the cbo projects premiums for the average americanill actually go down under the republican plan instead of rising by 25% like they did under obamacare this year. the american people, all of you out there deserve to have the flexibility to choose the type of plan that best suits your needs instead of big government mandates, that dictate the kind of care you can buy. it gets rid of over a trillion dollars of taxes, reduces the deficit. if i was down in washington today, it's not the perfect bill. if i would serving in congress i would have voted yes. as the vice president said this begins the process of undoing the death spiral of obamacare. joining us now with reaction the author of the brand-new book, understanding trump. former speaker of the house fox news contributor newt gingrich. i honestly -- you're laughing at me i know why you're laughing at me so don't even start. i have been so frustrated by this process. you come on very sober, elder statesman of the show come a long time friend and you just, hannity, b, you walk you thro

people didn't buy into obamacare, 16 million less people are on it, so why should the average american trust it? >> harris: from the beginning, i think democrats are getting a little excited about this idea that there is tension among the republicans. from the beginning, he had a least two people if not more than that, a widening range of republicans that really wanted to repeal this thing before you do anything else. guys like ted cruz and rand paul. they are against this, not because they don't like what's in it, they don't the premise of it. as a democrat, don't get excited. there is a still room to repeal this and get a whole lot of republicans on board. >> trish: >> meghan: there are e like rand paul who just want this repealed and they don't care how it happens. we have a paradigm shift. he told the american people and convinced them that health care is a right. right now, trying to take away insurance from people who have already had it. the hysteria that's going on in town halls across the country is because we haven't given them a good enough example of what we are going to re

where's the priority in your mind and what is the average american start to feel the effects of some these proposals? >> we focus on the individual regulations. a 56 million hours of work has been taken, so that's already starting to happen. of broader regulatory reform are in the next few months. in the meantime, health care is first come for a second, the reason is we are doing them under a budget procedure and how to finish one before you start the other. i do think by the end of this year, this calendar year, i think tax reform is very possible. i think there is more consensus around tax reform done there is around health care and i think there is an opportunity for republicans to come together on an agenda that has lower taxes by getting rid of some of the complexity of the tax code and that's a time honored wisdom that that will hurt the economy. i hope we get to the numbers they have in their budget, but i know we can do better. >> jenna: we have a few different readings. we'll have to get a final number on that. let me talk to a little bit about the presidents trip overseas.

to the average american this stinks. the president can't fire the person investigating him. that vilats bed rock principals of independence. we wrote legislation bp we think that's aa way to make sure we don't find ourselves in a mess like this again. >> adam schiff put out a statement that says the decision by president whose campaign associates are under investigation by the fbi for collusion with russia and raises profound questions about whether the white house is braisebly interfering in a criminal matter. what is the resource if so? >> jeff sessions should be nowhere near the firing of director comey. he was supposed to be recused and because he was asked by the senate if he had any contacts with russia during the election. twice he said no. for him to be involved raises questions and on the judiciary committee i think we should have jeff sessions before us to explain why he was involved when he was supposed to be recused? >> i'm going to say i agree totally. i was shocked that we had a letter coming from the attorney general with the recommendation. i was assuming tha

. >> sandra: you guys just talked about crisis on broadway, the average american can afford to go toy. i'm wondering, is that how out of touch he and some of his fellow democrats are? i think people would put down good, hard earned money to go see a show like this? he's out of touch. >> david: he's out of touch. he's a salesman for himself. it's all this is as a desperate plea for attention. he wants to be relevant and that's all. >> harris: i do like a show with one of jazz hands. >> meghan: i'm more of a horror movie girl myself. more "outnumbered" in just a moment >> many thanks to david, you were talking, shame on you. >> we were comparing champagne stories from paris. >> fun. >> will you come back? >> i would love to. we are going to keep you right here for "outnumbered" over time. it's like the extension of the live tv show. you can find us at facebook, we are on tv at noon eastern tomorrow, "happening now" starts right now. >> jon: we begin with a fox news alert as we expect to see a face today at the white house briefing we normally do not see. >> jenna: there are surprises s

as a champion of the average american citizen including those who felt forgotten and neglected by theablishment. since his election i have noticed a new hope and optimism sweeping the country. as a country we need a fresh and bold leader. love for trump's ordinary americans and his kindness, generosity, and bold leadership qualities made him the best candidate for the job. mr. trump possesses the result of his country first and to never give up in a world that is increasingly hostile to our values. instead of another professional politician, the american voters wisely chose a successful businessman to be the country. 's donald trump offers more than just as his acumen. he is a man with wonderful and successful children who love their father. a man who is personable and actually relates to the common man. president trump was willing to risk his business empire, has comfortable lifestyle, his record tatian, -- reputation. his family was willing to sacrifice their privacy for the country they love and the benefit of the american people. actions in the's last four months become himself. -

how long have you sat on with the average american in this country and ask them what they're thinkingnd feeling? >> meghan: the problem is the modern women's march is that it's so wrapped up in the extreme left, not just on things like abortion, but apparently defining the military as well that a person like me, even though on paper, i consider myself a feminist, if that includes defining the military, you know you can go. >> harris: jimmy kimmel is returning to the airwaves and jumping right back into the health care debate. whether any of this will change minds on the midterm election. we're still a waysy >> sandra: jimmy kimmel diving right back into the health care debate. the committee in making his return to late night tv last night following a week off after delivering an emotional monologue informing the audience of his newborn sons heart disease. some criticize those remarks calling him an elitist. here's his response. >> i know this is going to shock you, there were some not so nice things people said online about me, including members of the media. this is from "the new yor

a >> david: for the average american, it's like whiplash. erything keeps changing, ever be close to a different side. at the core of this, listen to democrats trying to make their cases as to why they lost the selection. i defy any democrat to find ten voters whose opinion changed based on information they got about hillary clinton during the election. >> meghan: we were joking about it in the green room that there were some democrats and it doesn't seem like the cat who caught the canary. nancy pelosi said that he was in the wrong job. for so long, hillary clinton blamed james comey for losing the presidential election. i think part of this was president trump saying i have a bipartisan way in here. both sides will be so happy about this, this is like the tomahawk missiles over syria. this is going to be a big uniting moment for me. politically, he thought he would get an agreement from both sides. democrats can't let it go. they cannot pass up an opportunity to politicize this. the white house today has to do a load of self-examination to f

. >> greg: should bit scared the average american that a political party in the media are so in-line,they're practically interchangeable on this issue? >> bob: i'm not sure the american people think about that much. but we push back on you. let me make a statement audible the spread you say there's nothing there, how do you know? none of us know, we've got to wait for the effects to come out. we shouldn't just dismiss it as saying it won't be impeachable, i don't know whether it will or not. >> greg: you just argued against your own argument. it's impeachable, it's impeachable, how do you know? >> bob: i didn't say it was impeachable. i've set the table now for three weeks and listened to the concert drumbeat of jumping all over obama. the next obama comment is don't ask me to comment on it. i'm out of that. if you guys can't defend your own guy wanted to defend them instead of taking it back to obama? >> jesse: were making an analogy that president obama said there is no national security threat by having a secret server. no one said anything about obstruction of justice than in the

. >> i pre face that in my remarks by saying normally for the average american person, it shouldn't be made public. i think when you're talking about high level public officials that -- there ought to be a reason for letting the public know whether somebody is being investigated. i don't want to say whether it's the president or vice president, members of congress, senate. but there's some point where public's business ought to be more public if you're going to have accountability in government. >> neil: this comes at a time when you're north carolina republican colleague, senator burr and the house have said, maybe now is the time to create an independent russia commission. what do you think? >> i think the reason we got into this way back in january is because we want transparency, we want to get to the bottom of whether or not russia, what role they played in the election. there's no evidence whatsoever now that they changed one vote. but that suspicion is out there. if you're going to have people be less cynical about the institution of the government, we ought to got to the bottom

kat: despite all e russian investigation, if you aren't forgetting to ask how this impacts the average american. >> no one in ohio is asking about russia. we have to deal with this. it's on the minds of the american people, but if you want to know what people in ohio think, they want to know about jobs, their children. we are preoccupied with this. it's not that this is not important but everyday americans are being left behind because it's russia, russia, russia. >> ben: i think that's absolutely dead on. people do not care about this stuff, and the democratic party does have to be careful to not overreach and do a proverbial witch hunt. they need to start focusing on jobs, get the populist message back and if they don't do that, we're going to see similar results in 2020. the fork she was a democrat, ohio state legislature. she is saying that for her constituents, not that russia is not important but they care about jobs and what is going on with everyday americans. >> eric: jobs and the economy. there is a small group in the mainstream media who thinks they care about russia but it's been pr
