but talking about the future of the g.o.p. i think my fundamental disagreement sometimes i am in violent agreement that the panel is supposed to be interesting and people want conflict but it seems in some ways there is a mistake he's criticizing somebody of the right that there is a true reagin a dashboard's eight and if we could just up and cover him to reveal the true nature he will eliminate the path for work for republicans for all time. this is the argument we hear that henry's version is he was a new deal republican i am not entirely convinced of that but i think one of the things people don't really understand about ronald reagan so here is where i absolutely agree i think the g.o.p. has been crippled if you watch the primary debate of the last couple election cycles, i was a and new hampshire with the g.o.p. candidate said dirtiest re-enactments of spartacus. [laughter] i am ronald reagan. i am ronald reagan. [laughter] the problem is if he were alive today he would be 106 maybe it doesn't have the best grasp of politi

house minority leader, nancy pelosi, i am concerned by changes in system by republicans that give the g.o.p. leadership the sole power to originate

but what you see the g.o.p. going on that issue? >> there's a huge sense of frustration, obviously, coming out of congress, nothing able to bring both moderates and conservatives to the table to get the job done. this is why republicans were voted, and there was a clear mandate of repealing and replacing obamacare. because when you look at the fact that there is a destabilization in our individual insurance markets, that's troubling. when you have the fact that you're still seeing premiums continue to rise, i mean a family of four next year will, it will increase to 40% in terms of what their health care costs will be in many cases. ebony, it is troubling. the mere fact that many republicans cannot come to that middle ground, where you see this division amongst moderates and the conservatives, i think that it's just a disturbance for the american people. they are not fulfilling a promise. >> i'm hearing from the president, and also, really, from the g.o.p. in its totality, a lot of criticisms among the democrats. nothing that is fair

raising the question, can the g.o.p. govern? they can govern but i don't think they are governing the way they can do it. they are like a baseball team that really wants home run hitters, but they have people that can hit singles and steel bases. you have to design the planet with the team you have, not the team you wish you have. see >> sandra: that makes a lot of sense. they can govern but not the way they are trying to. >> they have been striking out. they have not had the team in the same dugout. they can, and they can get around something that is talked about and explained to the american people, and they build consensus. that did not happen with the health care bill. it was not an elevator pitch, on how they can make their health care better. there is not a unified message. expect that you change with tax reform. we are told that they have things together. it will be a rollout in mid-august. it will be a coordinated effort to tell personal stories of how this affects businesses and the economic boom that they expect from t

would be much more popular than the g.o.p. health care bill remarkable. someday the g.o.p. is going to have to figure out a way to square the circle to actually figure out how they're going to make put a health care proposal i would feel that figuring out with democrats how to put something together would be of more efficacious solution i think first they're going to have to go back to the one nine hundred eighty and when george herbert walker bush was running against ronald reagan and george herbert walker bush came right out and said the idea that cutting taxes will increase government revenue is crazy it's voto economics and you know it's just it and it's never been demonstrated to be effective in fact there's a pile of evidence to the opposite sam brownback in kansas in the last four years so any i donald trump sham election integrity commission so-called election integrity commission is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to republican voter suppression efforts mother jones just published an in-depth article about the deceptively named american civil rights union

but last night the g.o.p. leadership under sherman -- chairman session and the house rules committee blocked these amendments. they refuse to give these amendments a chance to be debated and voted on the floor. as more and more information comes out about russia, americans all over the country keep hoping the g.o.p. will do the right thing. they will put country before party and hold trump accountable. but they have not. and they will not. just this past week donald trump jr. himself released emails that show unequivocally the trump campaign's eagerness to collude with the russian government. but that hasn't changed a thing. it hasn't stopped speaker ryan from blocking a russian sanctions bill at the trump administration's q it hasn't stopped chairman sessions and the rules committee from blocking my amendment to set the record straight on russia interference and help prevent it in the future. the truth is, they are all complicit. it's time to recognize that the g.o.p. majority is not the victim here. they aren

the g.o.p. l was pronounced dead of terminal sucking. ( cheers and applause ) yeah. i clap when i'm heart broken, too. you cover the pain. it was always a longshot because the republicans control only all three branches of government ( laughter ) can't be expected to do everything. the final blow was delivered last night, when utah senator and man failing to get anyone to raise the roof, mike lee, and kansas senator and grey alien who found a can of bronzer, jerry moran, released statements opposing the bill at the exact same time. it was the rare simultaneous no-gasm. ( laughter ) it is hard to overstate the level of failure here. the g.o.p. crushed their car at 90 miles an hour into a cliff with a grin on their face. ( laughter ) it's like if batman vs. superman took a pontiac aztek to blockbuster video to rent "the lone ranger" and watch it on laser disc. that's how badly they failed. ( laughter ) republicans said one thing for the last four elections: >> we need to repeal and replace obamacar

democrats only, your view of the healthcare situation this far and the failure on the part of the g.o.p.? caller: yeah, i love your show. affordable care act should be termed wall street care. positions for national health and we wish expose c-span would cover numbers of the top five u.s. health nsurers by the statements that sore. title of the bill is medicare single payer john you want to get involved, call your congressman. senators told them to support single payer. lastly, world health organization, maybe c-span can group.ebody on from that america ranks 39 out of the top 0 countries in the world for healthcare, best systems in the world do not go through wall class.and billionaire number one in the world, france, number two, italy, they have a single-payer health plan like america should have had years ago. want to get involved, call your congresspeople, tell them hr676, medicare for votededicare and medicaid best healthplan in america. works of healthcare, great for people who sell it, ut americans can't afford to buy it. host: thanks for calling. we'll get a few more on before u

that is what the g.o.p. has lost and that has made me if incredibly frustrated the last few cycles in particular with the election of donald trump that that very same high priest has basically beaten back anybody who wants to look at policy. we did cut the top marginal tax rates 70 percent down at 30 percent double-a-2 cut them more but politicos as a matter of logic if you cut down from 70 down at 30 maybe we should look at a warrant -- payroll taxes and with talk-radio types who would say that is not a reaganism it with the populist campaign now all the sudden the people who were denounced as too soft on conservatism now were all of a sudden period under the bus for not throwing all reagan entirely. and maybe, just maybe to talk about those reagan night principles to contemporary problems rather than using the 82 playbook over and over bbv would have made the lives better and for a the black working class is the working class may be if we have been allowed to those contemporary problems and now not to grow

robert: polls show most americans do not support the g.o.p. legislation but leadership remains confident compromise is possible. >> legislation of this complexity almost always takes longer than anybody else would hope. but we're going to press on. robert: meanwhile, problems for the affordable care act as more insurers are pulling out of the exchanges and premiums, co-pays and deductibles are going up. democrats insist the law should be repaired, not replaced. >> throw away this mantra of repeal obamacare and work with us. robert: we examine the state of healthcare in america with sarah kliff of vox. yamiche alcindor of "the new york times," michael scherer of "time" magazine, and nancy cordes of cbs news. >> celebrating 50 years, this is "washington week." funding is provided by -- >> we've all been affected by cancer some way, somehow. dana farber cancer institute is pursuing breakthroughs every day to help end cancer, like identifying genetic mutations for targeted therapies and teaching your immune system to attack cancerous cells. by cons

plus a major moment fast approaching on capitol hill as the g.o.p. battled to reform health care heats up with a new plan gaining traction, just as one leading republican is wondering about the dangers of repealing, but not replacing obamacare. >> what they're trying to do is not fix obamacare in one piece -- that's never going to happen. it's going to take years. >> molly: new information on the senate shall pay his efforts to reform health care as the amendment from senators ted cruz and mike lee seemed to be getting traction. >> at the moment, it's all about the politics and trying to get the 50 votes in the senate and how do you hold the conservatives together and not lose susan collins one of the other moderates to pull it down below 50 votes? at the moment, this looks like the piece of legislation, the ted cruz proposal that is going to get it done. >> molly: this as senator john mccain raises some serious concerns about the g.o.p. health reform plan which says i fear he may fall under the trap of repealing and replacing that may be bad for amer

the g.o.p. loser to killing obamacare. >> trevor: i don't know who's more original hollywood or senate republicans. so many sequels. healthcare bill one, two, healthcare bill in space, healthcare bill versus predator, the one where the predator lost because of pre-existing conditions. it was ovarian cysts. yeah. oh, you thought predator was man? oh, oh. wake up, people! you've got crists on your wenis. yeah, that's right. the reason ropes had trouble repealing obamacare is senate couldn't agree on how to replace it. some wouldn't vote for a bill that cut medicaid too much, some wouldn't vote for any bill that left any obamacare in place, some wouldn't vote for it because it was printed in comic sanz, wasn't professional. then mcconnell looked like he was smoking weed -- you can't vote for a bill if you don't vote for a bill. >> it's unclear what the bill will look like and whether the g.o.p. can muster votes to pass it. >> now what. >> that's the question. >> what they voted on is whether to star

it was >> jon: with the g.o.p. are bill dead in the senate, republicans looking for a way to move forward on their promise to dismantle obamacare. president trump reiterating his call to repeal now and replace later. lawmakers are on board. >> remember our repeal legislation had a two year wind down, salute to your fades in, gives us time to work on the replacement, this is what we told the american people we were going to do. this is what we passed last congress comest let's put the same thing on president trump's desk that we put on then president obama's desk. then we can come together and work on a replacement to deal with those key issues that will bring down premiums for middle-class families. let's simply do what we said. repeal it, then replace it. >> jon: what are the prospects for all that question i questionnaire (josh holmes, former chief of staff to mitch mcconnell. also, ♪ ♪ lacey. josh, i guess you would say it's a big defeat for mitch mcconnell. he thought he was getting together the votes for this n

some fun on the house side, it's two or three dozen g.o.p. members getting their leadership at any one time. friction comes on days like today when leadership unveiled their new budget proposal. >> this plan will mean more jobs and no growth, real reforms to the way the federal government deserves taxpayers. >> budget cuts more than $200 million on things and that makes the house freedom caucus happy. but the conservatives are not ready to support their party's budget until they know more about how that money is saved. >> leadership needs to tell us a little bit more clearly what that's going to look like. because right now we don't know anything for sure. >> establishment republicans are more supportive of this budget and hope the senate advances it. >> we have given them our product and will expect that we get something back from them. >> but more conservative house members have a reminder for senators who still haven't delivered on any major legislative victories that trumpets had since the inauguration. >> we have our party platform and so

president trump back from his trip to germany for the g-20 summit is urging the g.o.p. to get the job done, tweeting, this for years, even as a civilian, i listened as republicans pushed the repeal and replace of obamacare. now they finally have their chance. white house chief of staff reince priebus tells fox news is he confident about the bill becoming the new healthcare law before the august recess. >> if anyone can get it done, mitch mcconnell, president trump working together with the senate. >> "yes" or "no," will they pass -- >> -- yes. >> yes, what? >> they will get a repeal and replace bill done. >> but some republican senators are not so optimistic. >> my view is it's probably going to be dead, but i am -- i've been wrong. i thought i would be president of the united states. [laughter] >> that's a little chuckle there from john mccain. tax reform, spending bills and a budget before the september 30th deadline. a lot to do before the august recess. rob and heather? rob: certainly is. kelly, thank you. heather: whether or not they take that august recess. rob: i

i believe the g.o.p. dget as it stands right now is not a plan of action but rather a plan of attack on the poor and middle-class americans. it gives tax cuts to the rich, it cuts into medicare which is a promise and nondiscretionary spending, it cuts it by $424 billion. this is something that will mess up our country's infrastructure as well as harm those individuals that need the most help. >> heather: when it does come to defense spending, it does provide the funding to secure the border and protect the homeland. >> under the obama administration, there was the least amount of spending this country has seen since world war ii. it will be critical to increase our defense spending. it affects families and technology and our borders. you are going to hear the left constantly talk about republicans are trying to derail low income families and the fact of the matter is, they are calling for a welfare reform. paul ryan brought up today that he wants to make sure he moves forward this year as well because the

i think the g.o.p. doesn't know who the g.o.p. is anymore. there's people with very different views in congress. i don't know if it's a matter of them needing to get it done. there are certain people who aren't going to agree to certain things no matter what. >> eric: i said this yesterday and did a whole thing on it. if you are a republican senator who's going to vote against repealing only obamacare, you are going to get primaried. donald j. trump is going to go to your district or state and say hey, i really needed you to do this. test guess what happens? you are done. you are finished. >> eboni: he has precedents for calling people out by name. that's probably the strongest place he has. i think the g.o.p. is plainly donald trump's party. the g.o.p. hasn't it gotten done in eight years. they are in a position to do so even though they are failing to act. i really think perhaps the president has to be more hands-on. i think he let mitch mcconnell and paul ryan tried. they batted 2 for 0. may be the president needs to get in front himself.

does the g.o.p. want this president to succeed? want the president to be successful, we want the nation to be successful. we understand things like obama care have major issues and major problems. in my state rates went up 76%, just in one year last year. we only have one insurance carrier in the state. we understand what that means not just for the president and his legacy but for people at home and the entire country. it's got to be done. it's got to be done right. those are two key aspects that we're working through right now to make sure that it's right, but that it is actually done at the end of this as well. >> we heard from rand paul. we heard from susan collins. and they say it is not being done right. there are too many things that look like oeb mar care in this -- obama care in this bill. rand paul is talking about the 3.8% investment tax, the payroll tax, subsidies still in place that should have been taken out. how have you as a republican agree to keep these things in when we know they are from the affordable care act?

. >> eboni: is it a field day for the g.o.p.? ics. >> the house approved 1.6 billion for the wall today. congressman sherman is not careful, we might extended to the california border. i'm a little bit disappointed to be a california resident and this is our representation. here's the deal. you can talk about his tweets, reversing bingham foreign policy policy but i don't think either the media or the democrats understand why donald trump was elected. he was not elected because of the rhetoric. he was elected because, again, he ran a ran against a system f failure. he talked about securing the border. that wasn't being talked about. donald trump ran a different type of campaign, and i'm sorry that some of these congressmen need to catch up. >> eboni: the eric bolling. >> eric: we talked about a couple nights ago, feels like the democrats are so invested in, catching trump in the occlusion story, they've spent some so much time and effort and breathless accusations that every nugget, they continue to blow up. i spent the first part

the g.o.p. plans to unveil the legislation today, although it still remains unclear if the bill has enough support to pass. some republicans say they think there is a better third way. >> i want to give democrats an opportunity to at least have input, but i may be wrong, but i think this will unite every republican and any democrat who believes that states are that they're able to handle health care than washington. >> leland: adam shapiro joining us. we just heard from lindsey graham, he's a saying we should start talking to the democrats, does republic and leadership agree with them? >> mitch mcconnell actually said last week that they might have to do that as a plan b. just in case plan a fails. plan a is revising the better care reconciliation act. those are the official details will get later this morning, but already, we know some of the details about what's being amended in the original plan. it's pretty much the same as before, but some of the affordable care act taxes on wealthy people l

the problem is the conservative wing of the g.o.p. re bill stinks and they don't want their names attached to it. i totally understand that but if the g.o.p. can't come together and do this, they are going to get blamed for obamacare failures. obamacare is falling apart and something's got to be done. premiums have doubled since 2013. deductibles continue to go through the roof. insurers are fleeing the market and if republicans continue to be purists and they don't work together, nothing is going too get done. we are going to be stuck with obamacare and 2018 is going to be an ugly election year. they've got to compromise. they have to get some thing done. >> kimberly: don't they want to keep their jobs? maybe not, but it seems like they are the ones letting the american people down, lionel. what is their problem? what's going to take to please these people? >> one of the greatest myths next to the artistic quality of the neck tattoo is how they are calling it obamacare? they are repealing obamacare. there is no obamacare. it's a mess.

terms of where we are today, basically the message really is to the trump administration and to the g.o.p., stop playing games with the a.c.a., work with us. i think the president continues to be very irresponsible. you know, the latest -- or yesterday saying, just repeal it and we'll delay it for two years. you know what the c.b.o. said, what a disaster that would be. up to 32 million people, an all-time high, would lose their insurance. we are not taking that route. we're taking the route that we want to work with you and improve the a.c.a. i just want to mention two things that i think are very important in that respect and would eliminate a big part of the uncertainty that exists right now with the insurance market. first, with regard to the cost sharing reduction payments, the president announced yesterday he's going to pay it for another month. thank you, mr. president. but that's ridiculous, right? i mean, the uncertainty in the insurance market going from month to month, like paying month to month rent rather than having a lease for a year or more is ridiculous. so the most import

create, that ed to is what the g.o.p. said, going to create all of these jobs and this work and going to be great for the american worker. out to be a ned lie. of passing the buck and acting like their hands are in actuality they created this monstrosity, be it or outsourcing and could you touch on that and explain to he american people where the policies come from and where they originated from? think it would shed a lot of light on the subject. guest: thank you. certainly many republicans see -- no alance between politician wants good jobs to go overseas. balance between keeping the good jobs and inouraging more productivity the american workforce and among american companies which result income for the country, more dividend and shareholder moreoverall income, capitalizing on strong ndustries and allowing free trade in weaker industries. people believe in international and opening the door is what free trade is about be safe guard for those seeing jobs move overseas. universal, among most economists, most people safety

he tweeted against the set well >> harris: i have to jump in with the g.o.p. against president trump because we saw the establishment and the struggles early on in the campaign. >> eric: this is the swarm, i wrote about it in the book. i republicans calling me about why did you put me in the book? because you're just like them, you're part of the problem. can you imagine that we are in our fifth investigation of the russian collusion and we have not found one street of evidence and republicans are still playing ball with them? these are all republican senate and house committees. >> rachel: eric was 100% right. it's ridiculous. the senate is broken, they can't pass anything and they're having these stupid hearings -- they should have no hearings. let mueller do it, shut down the hearings, shut on the russia stuff and gets the work of the people. >> harris: mitch mcconnell is speaking right now. he was called out earlier by rand paul, senator rand paul. repeal only is what rand paul is saying. here's mitch mcconnell. >> the engagement we've seen has been importa

the conversation was at home. "america's newsroom hq" starts now. >> fox news alert, g.o.p. senators are wrapping up their meeting at the white house. where health care reform was main course. he intends to keep his promise about repealing and replacing obamacare. we are going to start with white house chief correspondent, the president made a forceful pitch with g.o.p. senators toda today. >> he gathered together most of the republican senators to basically tell them, i don't understand what's going on here. isn't this what you folks promised on doing over and over again. today he's basically challenging these centers by saying you've been taking the easy way out. now that you think you might change things, you blocked it. >> i've been here six months, i'm ready to act. i have pen in hand. you never had that before. for seven years, you've had an easy route. i'm signing it. so is a little bit different. i'm ready to act. in seven years, you promised the american people you would repeal obamacare. people are hurting and inaction is not an option. >> the president basically ca

new political fallout from the g.o.p. effort to dismantle obamacare with president trump going after one republican hold out by name. good morning to you, i'm jon scott. >> melissa: i'm glad to be back, i melissa francis. lots of action on capitol hill where we await the vote on the so-called repeal and delay amendment, which would get rid of much of obamacare, but give lawmakers two years to pass replacement after senate republicans won a procedural vote. leaders from both sides reacted. >> we watched a similar process seven years ago. they had a lot of differences and we're going to sort this out and thoroughly open amendment process in a situation where 51 votes could change the bill. >> i would plead one last time with my friends on the other side of the aisle, and i know can hear the cry to modify and change things. turn back, we can go through regular order, we want to work with you. we know that aca is not perfect, but we also know what you proposed is much worse. >> melissa: nine g.o.p. senators came out against l

. >>> in washington, a major set back for the g.o.p. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell admits he does not have the votes to pass the g.o.p. plan to repeal and replace the affordable care act. two more republican senators withdrew support for the measure yesterday. conservative store mike lee of utah and jerry moran of kansas. senator lee tweeted out neither will support the plan going forward. senator lee says it doesn't go far enough to lower premiums for middle class families. it came hours after the president had dinner with several republican senators at the white house and wished arizona senator john mccain a speedy recovery from surgery to remove a blood clot behind his left eye. >> we hope he gets better soon. we miss him. he is a trusted voice in washington and we need his voice. >> and a vote was postponed after senator john mccain's emergency surgery and they need 50 of 52 republicans in the senate to advance. it senators rand paul and susan colins had already come out against the proposal so mccain's vote may not have mat

the area. gillian: g.o.p. rs have hit another road block as republican leaders scramble to get their revised healthcare bill passed. now two of the insurance industry's most powerful organizations are sounding out against the legislation. america's healthcare plans and the blue cross blue shield association both sent a letter to senator mcconnell saying it is simply unworkable in any form. it would undermine protections for those with preexisting medical conditions. joining us now to discuss this in depth washington examiner's chief congressional correspondent. susan, i want to dig deep with you a little bit on this. we have got two of the insurance industry's giants now essentially saying that this provision introduced by senator cruz is dead in the water. they say that it would leave too many people with preexisting conditions vulnerable and cause too many of them to lose coverage. senator cruz says this provision would actually drive down premiums and give people more choices. can you help us find out the gr

when he urged the g.o.p. nominee to get out of the race because of that access hollywood tape. the president tweeted about that in private. and scaramucci comments against his strong comments against reince priebus. it was written in giant letters last night that an interview where he called reince priebus a bleeping schizophrenic. and as the president was getting off the plane, reince priebus secretly left the motorcade. tonight he put out a statement that said it was one of the greatest honors of his life to serve the president. and then he told sean hannity this. >> i think going a different direction and hitting the reset button is a good thing. the president did that and i think he's happy. i think it's always a little mixed when things like this happen. i generally feel pretty good. >> he will be preceded by john kelly. she was a senior aide to two secretaries of defense. reince priebus says he was fortunate to service country. john kelly says that he's honor to serve under the president of the united states. and he needs to control the flow of people in paper in the oval

the neo-cons are back and they're back with a vengeance long associated with the extremist wing of the g.o.p. and tied to kind of structured policy failures they have now found themselves being embraced by the democrats and the liberal media it would seem being anti russia track strange bedfellows. crosstalk in the return of the neo cons i'm joined by my guest george samuel in new york he is a fellow at the global policy institute of london metropolitan university and author of the book bombs for peace in washington we have michael maloof he is a former senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense and in toronto we have andrew moran he is a libertarian writer journalist and author of the war on cash right gentlemen cross-like rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate michael let me go to you first in washington i think when i say that the term neo con you know who i'm talking about what group of people i'm talking about particularly since you probably were working with them during the start of the illegal war against iraq

in an epic failure, the senate g.o.p. plan to repeal and replace obamacare has now sadly, tragically completely fallen apart which breaks a major promise they have been making to you. not a one year seven years. he now says the plan going forward is to do a clean repeal of the disastrous health care law and we will see how that plays out. i'll be happy without. earlier today, president trump reacted to the news of the latest failure from congress. the lack of urgency and accomplishments. take a look. >> absurdly disappointed -- for seven years, i've been hearing repeal and replace from congress. when we finally get a chance to repeal and replace, if they don't take advantage, that's disappointing. >> sean: we will have a lot more in president trump's reaction later on the show but pay very close attention if you are in the d.c. swamp. i'm a very important message for you, i and so many of us in the country, we have run out of patience with you. you are the do-nothing g.o.p. lawmakers. to be very, very honest, it's really s
