washington examiner. here's what senator schumer said. rather than repeating the same failed partisan process yet again, republican shoes start from scratch and work with democrats on a bill that lowers premiums, provides long term stability to the markets and

here's today's "washington journal". >> host: good morning. we'll have a question for democrats here little bit but for the first 30 minutes it's republicans only and are question is based on this tweet from th the president. he said it's very sad republicans, even some who were carried over the line on my back can do very little to protect their president. that was sent about 414 yesterday afternoon among a series of tweets in which the president also talked about the rush investigation, but in that week, complaints about republicans and whether they are protecting him. do you think congressional republicans are doing enough? the newspaper on capitol hill up here in washington d.c. is focusing on this tweet yesterday. it's not immediately clear who trump was referring in the tweet but all signs point to his gop rivals. both have been on sunday morning shows talking about the matter and both were on the ballot in november. this morning we want to hear from you. should elected republicans do more to protect president trump. if you are republican

he is referring to know august break in washington. here we goski: again. the republican from a georgia had an op-ed where he was making a similar case, although not specific to health care, about not enough of the agenda being done to leave for the august recess. there is generally no appetite for sticking around washington in august on the vast majority of senators. in fact, you could argue that if the deadline of the august recess is taken off the table because people will still be around, that things might actually go slower because the only thing that drives congress and maybe articulately the senate to act is the incentive of recess a lot of the time. so we will see where that goes. the other thing i think is interesting to point out here is that if you have this full repeal now replace later, the other conflict is with what president trump saying the senate plan needed more heart or that the house plan was mean. if you do a full repeal, everyone gets kicked off of the medicaid expansion tomorrow. if you just take the law off the books and the states

washington bureau chief along .ith niels lesniewski thank you for being here. let me begin with you on the state of health care and the senate bill. where do things stand now? the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, set a deadline today hoping to have a final version to send to the edge of office so when they return from the july 1 recess, they will have that her idea of the changes that they will making and what they will have on the health care bill. it does not look like they have reached that deadline. it seems like they might be ascending some components for scoring, but they are still working on negotiating this. there has been a lot of discord and a lot of different senators who want different things in this bill who aren't happy with the direction that negotiations are waiting towe see what happens. i think the white house is a little disappointed as the couldn't reach the deadline today and they are still in the process of speaking with the senators and working to some kind of consensus of legislation. lesniewski what is the senate line for changes and w

also getting a taste of the blowback in congress awaiting president trump when he returns to washington. here's what congress members gregory meeks and maxine waters said on msnbc last night. >> from what i'm hearing, it's checking the box. it is what do you want to come out of this with. and number one, we want a clear declaration on russia's part that they will not interfere with our election. >> we're getting played by our president and certainly we're getting played by putin. i don't like the idea that our president again would go into a room without any note takers, without any staff, without others who should be in the room who really understand foreign policy and who really understand putin and come out of it, you know, saying how honored he is to meet with him. >> at this hour president trump is set to attend a working luncheon women's empowerment. it will be followed bye-b bilatl meetings with president abe and president xi. the u.s. military flew two strategic bombers over north korea in response to its escalating nuclear tests. it was part of a cooperation with the south korea and ja

the reason there are these busts, here's george washington write here and these other figures are busts of important political figures in america. what is that kind of thing doing in an 18th century woman's portrait? what it's doing there is it's telling us that mary white morris has read all of these authors, understands their political theory of herrera, and espouses it. so we've got music, and we've got intellect. and that's really what he's trying to say that behind this beautiful facade. there's a woman of substance. and when we learn about mary white morris' biography, it's incredible what she achieved. of course she's a woman, an aristocratic woman, but a woman never the less, living in an controlled entirely by men. and yet mary white morris becomes her husband's inherited business partner after her husband winds up in prison because he can't pay his debts. and in the 18th century when were you in debt you couldn't just declare chapter 11 or bankruptcy, you had to pay up or go to jail. robert morris couldn't pay up, her husband, and so they put him in jail. how are you going to

was not too long after that that president trump got into loyalty and the political swamp in washington. here's little more. pres. trump: i go to washington, and i see all these politicians. i see the swamp, and it is not a good place. today, i said we ought to change it from the word swap to cesspool or perhaps seward. sewer.- or perhaps it is not good. i see what is going on, and i would much rather be with you. that i can tell you. host: we will show you more from that speech coming up through the first hour of our program today. we do want to hear from you. democrats, 202-748-8001. republicans, -- democrats, 202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001. .ndependents, 202-748-8002 and boy scouts both past and present, 202-748-8003 postcism in the washington this morning. during his campaign where presidential candidate roast the heals and themselves, devolved into over attacks on his opponent. switched into he a campaign style stump speech. he surprised the crowd of uninformed personnel at the commissioning of the uss gerald r ford by imploring them to lobby congress in support of his agenda. his

washington. effectively a proxy for interests of the russian government here in washington. sen.lochubar: you talked a lot about -- with other senators they how when you hear talk about adoption, in fact of was code for the repeal of the magnitsky act. caucus, the adoption having been firsthand involved in those issues, those children were used as a pond because vladimir putin was so angry about the passage of this act. can you talk about that issue, in terms of what it has meant? you must know people and have contact with people who were trying to adopt. mr. browder: this is one of the most heinous parts of this whole story. as you know, as an adoption as -- expert, they never let americans adopt healthy orphans, just the sick ones. go with openld arms and hearts and taken children with hiv, down syndrome, heart conditions, spina bifida, bring them to america come nurse them to health, love them. was looking for the most sadistic thing he could do in retaliation to american interests, and depicted this one. which was effectively what i would call a hostage situation. the orphans

linda: i think so, but washington is so different than when i was here. it has grown so much that when i was here before. living in gaithersburg, it was the commute every day in and out of the city, which was pretty tough. it is really fun and exciting, but incredibly challenging to be here and have the responsibility of an agency which the president has said can have one of the most significant impacts on growth of the economy. when he talked to me about taking this position, i was in his office at trump tower. just as i was leaving, he looked at me and walked me to the door and said, i just have one request. i said, yes? he said, do a good job. i told him i was going to do my best, and of my best wasn't good enough, he would let me know and i would gladly step aside for someone who could do it better. he said, i can't ask for more than that. --ve: how many google work how do people work at the sba? linda: when fully staffed, about 2100. but there are people that are on call for disaster relief. disaster relief headquarters is in the dallas-fort worth ar

another teenager here, johannes handberg was captured. christmas night when washington crosses the delaware in a desperate attempt to try to deliver some kind of blow against the british to keep them from marching on and capturing philadelphia. we've digitized here. we've blown up a period map that shows the location of all of this fighting and what became known as the ten crucial days. and so the first action, the crossing of the delaware, the battle of trenton, and you can see washington crossing. washington's army then dividing, marching down from the west, attacking these green dots representing the hessians at trenton, and that fighting taking place. then in a series of actions over the next ten days, crossing and recrossing the delaware culminating in the january 3, 1776 battle of pripsten. and this is when washington who's been attack bide a much larger superior british force during a little remembered battle called the second battle of trenton in the middle of the night manages to slip off leaving the british here, marching cross country, and attack the rear of

senator murray of washington here is the ranking democrat. senator lamar alexander is the chairman, from tennessee. i respect him and like him a lot. the two of them ought to have hearings on a bill to change the affordable care system and make it work better. bring down health premiums, expand insurance coverage. i think that is what we should be all about. there is a basic difference of philosophy here and i'll close with this, but this is what drives us. answer the following question, and i can tell you how you're going to vote on this bill. do you believe health care is a right for every american, or do you believe it's a privilege? that if you have enough money and you're lucky enough, you can get it. if you don't, you go without. if you answer the question it's a right, it should be a right in america, then you have to reject this approach. you cannot take helpless people, some who are working hard in jobs, two and three jobs at a time that have no health care benefits, and say to them, sorry, our system won't take care of you. one last

massive campaign that the russian government via the lawyer-natalya vesilnitskaya launched here in washington. she organized individuals to come here in washington and lobby, basically tell the story -- a false story that magnitsky was not murdered, and he wasn't a whistleblower, so that they could have the magnitsky act repealed. she engaged with chris cooper from potomac strategies, ron dellums and a number of other people with the purpose of withdrawing the magnitsky act and withdrawing magnitsky chekov name from the acts. in addition to it being effectively a campaign to effectively cover up a murder, it was also -- >> can you say the year that she came into this? >> the question is, you can still finish her statement, that now, -- >> yes, thank you. >> we not going to stop you. >> when the lawyer came to this country, what year was that? >> i believe she came here in 2014. >> continue. >> sorry that i went over, i am just about done. browder: in addition to these -- this being morally reprehensible, none of these people registered as foreign agents under the foreign agents registration a

you'll learn we do this here in washington. [laughter] on the specific question, because you say that, you know, part of it is diplomacy, part of it is hard-hitting. do you see anything wrong with going after the special counsel and his team when it comes to possible conflicts of interest or when it comes to your feeling or the president's feeling that he is expanding the scope of his investigation too far into the president's business affairs? >> i want the president to be the president, and i want him to express the full nature of his personality. corey lewandowski used to say early on in the campaign let trump be trump. it's a little disrespectful now because he's the president, so let's let the president be the president. if he wants to talk about things like that, i'm not going to want to stop him or even be able to the stop him. i want to be able to help aid and abet his agenda. for me, i have a different personality style from the president in some ways, in other ways we're very similar. i just want there to be fairness

donald trump is still not viewed by a lot of republicans certainly here in washington as being a true conservative, and they can't necessarily trust him. and that's what you're seeing. quite frankly, erin, it is unfair for the likes of reince priebus and those folks to be getting thrown under the bus all the time when the blame lays directly with the president

much solidarity but he is facing an uphill battle and we are seeing that loud and clear ok so here in washington how do you assess it said six months because i and my introduction kind of echoed from what we just heard from zach go ahead. well i don't agree with the liberal portrayal of trump as uniquely nefarious i think it's wholly inaccurate and it whitewash is the crimes of obama and bush presidencies. we definitely need to have legitimate criticism of trying but sadly the democratic party and the liberal elites are blocking us from doing that with their analysts russia has stereo. you know kind of reflect upon that because you know. because it's my job i have to watch m.s.m. b.c. i have to watch c.n.n. and you know it's almost for me it's fun watchable i'm not learning anything oh i'm all i get is this diatribes you know. i think we're adults here and i think we need to deal with facts and we have to deal with other stories because we don't have a whole lot of facts to grab on except well he had a meeting and then they had a meeting and and that embassy and you know over and over and over a
