We are so close to the finish line and frankly, we need to cross that line and honor our promises to the american people. I believe we will get there. I believe we will get to yes. I think we have to get to yes. If all things are equal, i can get to yes. I will vote for a compromise. As close as these margins are, its hard for me to imagine moving on to this without john mccain present. We are starting to narrow the gap in terms of what its going to take to get 50 republicans to vote for something that not only repeals but also replaces obamacare. Liz welcome to risk and reward im Liz Macdonald in for deirdre bolton. First to your money. The s p, nasdaq, and russell 2,000 slowing down slightly. The nasdaq posting its first tenday win streak in more than two years. All closing in the green with humanna in the red. Now, back to the roadmap with the gop. Theyre trying to strike a compromise. But this is what the gop must do now. Stops of sicklar firing squad where theyre shooting at each other. Republicans must realize that theyre not in a ditch but a dead end. They can build a ladder out of the dc swamp. The republicans can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. How . Steal a page from the democrats. The democrats do politics and messaging way better. The process is still being driven by politics instead of policy. Democrats have won on both. Look to Hillary Clinton after hillary care failed in the 1990s. The clintons got small reforms like this. Mental health parody act that forced insurers. Hipaa, the patient privacy act and the Childrens Health program that lets parents for the first time let children on medicaid. Politics is much like the market. Its about momentum. About getting your momentum back. Making doubles, not home runs. The gop can do like in fact ted cruzs freedom option which gives people a choice to buy an obamacare plan or nonobamacare insurance for a lot less. They can do things like expand Health Savings accounts. They can do medical malpractice reform. They can try selling insurance across state lines. The gop can come back home to its roots. Free market reform. Optimism. And a backdrop against a failing governmentrun obamacare that even democrats admit is not living up to its promise of affordable care. Because right now, according to the latest fox news poll, 74 want the gop to reach out to democrats on obamacare reform. But 47 of all voters, 40 of republicans, they will blame the gop if obamacare reform fails. Lets bring in former speechwriter for Richard Nixon and economist ben stein joins me now. Ben, is that the roadmap to get a deal done . Just get small reforms. Get Little Things done to get your mojo back. With all due respect, i dont think it is. With great respect, i think they have to have a plan. I was very surprised to see mr. Trump blaming the congress. He didnt come out with a plan, a comprehensive plan. Usually if theres a comprehensive detailed plan, it originates at the white house. It does not originate in congress. It should come down from 1,600 pennsylvania avenue. He didnt really either have the time or the willpower or the experts to get that done. And i think theyre going to have to have a gigantic effort at the on the part of the white house and the Office Management budget to get a large Border Program done. If they cant, obviously, youre totally right. Then they should do the small Border Programs. But there is, to me, shocking that the president took office promising this gigantic grand thing about health care, and he basically had no plans at all for it. It basically was just scratch, scratch, scratch it up at the last minute. Thats not the way to run the government. Liz ben, you make really valid points here because the market is up about 4 trillion since the president was elected in terms of market value. Yes. Yes, its fabulous. I love it. Liz and tax reform is at stake. You know, that we get it to a vote. So if they cant get it to a vote, this reform, im just suggesting that maybe get the doubles in there, get some victories in there under their belt because it is about momentum. Its about mojo. The democrats as you know, theyre spreading poison around that the gop wants to kill people. And nancy pelosi just moments ago said the budget will create violence. So theyre going to be in the dc swamp again. Well, nancy pelosi, im a lawyer and economist by training, not a psychiatrist. But nancy pelosi is clearly mentally ill, so i dont pay much attention what she says. She is the ultimate divider and creator of wars within this country, so i dont pay much attention to what she says. It is surely true there are things that the government can do that the gop coming down from President Trump can do that would improve health care in this country. I dont think necessarily the things you suggested are the things that need to be done. But, look, when we were this is ancient history. Most of your watchers probably dont even werent even alive then. We came down with manyhundred page document created at the white house about how to have a health care plan. And it boiled down to this simple idea. We take a census for who can afford health care in this country. For those who genuinely cant afford it, we buy them a policy from a private insurer. It was more complicated than that. But that was the essence of it. I dont know why we cant start with that. Just work through the existing fine Insurance Companies we already have, and have them do most of the heavy lifting. We just write them a check for it. Its going to be a very large check, but health care is incredibly expensive. Liz so you can get both sides to agree on that. That would be a tough tough conservatives who would be against Big Government spending. Even like medicaid expansion. I am just saying this, as you had pointed out. Get something done. Obamacare with tweaks and change nearly about six dozen times after the fact. Final word. Lets get it tweaked and done, for sure. But lets remember the big picture has to come down from mr. Trump. Liz President Trump speaking to the New York Times, slamming attorney general Jeff Sessions. Mr. Sessions said today he is not quitting after the president ripped into him, saying he would have never appointed Jeff Sessions attorney general if he had known Jeff Sessions would have recused himself. Lets take a listen. Jeff sessions takes the job, get into the job, recuses himself, which frankly, i think is very unfair to the president. How do you take a job and then recuse yourself . If he were to recuse himself before the job, i would have said thanks. But i cant im not going to take you. Its extremely unfair, and thats a mild word to the president. Liz jeff responding today. Lets take a listen. I had the honor of serving as attorney general its go that goes beyond any thought i would have ever had for myself. We love this job. We love this department, and i plan to continue to do so, as long as that is appropriate. Liz and at a press conference earlier today, White House Deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders says President Trump does have confidence in Jeff Sessions. Now the news stream that got that interview, New York Times ending up more than 1 . The president is being criticized for undercutting the attorney general and the Justice Department during his highlevel probe into russia. Why is the president talking to the New York Times about Jeff Sessions . I think he wants Jeff Sessions to resign. I think he wants him to be gone, and i think he wants to then fire the special prosecutor. Look, he has got a whole bunch of buzzards and other animals looking over his shoulder. They want to kill him. I mean, mr. Muller, im sure hes a fine human being in many ways. But hes got that job because he wants to kill the political career and maybe take away the freedom of President Trump. Hes not there for any other reason. Nobody takes that job then hires 20 or 30 highlevel democrat prosecutors, unless hes out to get the president. Hes gov to get rid of him eventually. Hes going to have to get rid of sessions. The whole idea of having a special prosecutor this early when theres no crime. Nothing bad has happened. Liz are you saying ben, are you saying the president should get rid of Robert Muller . That will be a bombshell. It would be a bombshell. But i think it has to be done. Muller has behaved in a extremely unprofessional way by having a deck stacked with so many leftwing democrats and big time hillary contributors. That is not the way to run an impartial probe. And there shouldnt be a special prosecutor in the first place. Liz well, the probes are not completed yet. I hear what youre saying. The markets fell early today on the news that the special counsel is expanding the russia probe now into President Trumps business transaction after the president warned him not to do it. And it involves real estate deals and the like and also ben, the Senate Judiciary just filed recently a deep dive documents request for similar information. I mean, muller does have a broad mandate. It says investigate any links and or coordination between the russian government and the trump campaign. Thats a pretty broad mandate. Its too broad of mandate. It basically gives them a license to hunt and kill not literally kill. But hunt and kill politically President Trump. And too broad of a mandate. It would be understandable if they found some espionage or somebody being paid off to be nice on russia, but they have found nothing. There was no reason to have a special prosecutor in the first place. This is the essence of a witch hunt done by a very accomplished witch hunter, mr. Muller, who is getting his witch hunting friends on the job. Liz our own neil cavuto talking blasting President Trump for talking with president putin. His comments are going viral. I heard Richard Blumenthal honestly wondering about a conversation he will never know. Yet, if memory serves me right, he didnt say boo about another president s conversation about which he very much did know. Barack obamas Incredible Exchange with then russian president caught off mic about waiting for a certain president ial election. After my election, i have more flexibility. I understand. You know, i dont recall mr. Blumenthal steam over that, just over this. Some Media Coverage of that, nothing approaching this. Another news network even expressing saying horror at the site of Melania Trump sitting next to vladimir putin. No historical reference at all to a certain other first lady once seated next to a fellow. We later learned that john kennedy was sending secret notes through the russians to his brother bobby to solve the missile crisis. Not a word talking to his russian counterpart maybe to prevent a future crisis . No. Kennedy was brilliant working a connection. And then the media truth to power, please, save the outrage for someone who cares. If this was a supersecret powwow, news flash. The whole world would be on it. Liz what do you think . Sanctimonious indeed, and incredibly hypocritical, and it goes to what ive been saying on this wonderful network forever. Is that the news media will pick on anything on republicans or conservatives. It will totally ignore the identical behavior by liberals and leftwingers. The news media is so one sided and unbalanced and unfair. I cant believe that trump can get up in the morning and do his work. I keep wanting to say, look, news media, get off his back and let him do his job. Get off his bad. Liz a new report says that cnn did give three times more coverage to the latest trump putin conversation versus obamas conversation. Its the clued with trump narrative that is taking center stage still; right . It is exactly any kind of narrative alert in any way. I mean, the media has not accepted the fact that mr. Trump won the election. We have a media super class in this country. They consider themselves superior to voters. They consider themselves superior to the constitution. They are the bosses. They cannot believe the voters in wisconsin, west virginia, went against them and dared to elect someone they didnt want. Theyre not going to give up on this until they have torpedoed mr. Trump and mr. Muller is their chosen torpedo. Liz thank you, ben stein. We love having you go on. Come back soon. Thank you so much. Liz sure. Earnings season now in high gear.

Also Rapper Snoop Dogg sending this video depicting a Police Officer in a mcdonalds to his 18 million instagram followers. A Police Officer is here to respond. But first, after nine years in prison, oj simpson granted parole. He could be free as early as october 1st. The details on that next [vo] progress is seizing the moment. Your summer moment awaits you now that the summer of audi sales event is here. Audi will cover your first months lease payment on select models during the summer of audi sales event. Im sorry it happened. Im sorry to nevada. I wish he had never called me. I was glad to get my stuff back, but it wasnt worth it. You know, nine years away from your family is just not worth it, and im sorry. Liz oj simpson testifying at a hearing today where he was ultimately granted parole after serving nine years of a 33year sentence for a kidnapping of armed robbery. Former oj simpson prosecutor chris earlier said ojs parole would be quote unfortunate. Listen. The video footage of oj leading that hotel anight after robbing these people saying lining these people up with guys standing there with the pistol. But you look at the demeanor. Hes happy, hes jovial. Thats how he really feels about the robbery. Today i says i wish i could take it back. Well, yeah, he does because he had to face nine years. Liz fox news legal analyst bob massie. Good to see you, bob. Hi, liz. Thanks for having me. Liz whats the feeling in nevada . Because heres just some of the unbelievable things j said today. Quote no one has ever accused me of pulling a weapon on them. He also said quote i have basically spent a conflictfree life. He also said im not a guy who lives a criminal life. Whats your reaction here . I know. Well, i mean, i think when were watching it, he forgets that he was civilly found responsible for the wrongful death of those two individuals, which is not a criminal burden beyond a reasonable doubt, but its more probable than the not. So obviously theres some wrongdoing somewhere that they found. We have other evidence of things that occurred. I think represented certain violations in florida, so we have a guy here who has a propensity, some believe for continued violence off and on. And the question is going to be when he gets out because remember, they were very clear today. If we let you out, were going to give very stringent rules on what you can and cannot do. And if you violate them, youve waived your extradition, youre coming back to nevada. So as a result, i have a feeling hes going to be closely watched. Liz you know, Allen Dershowitz is the former attorney for the oj trial. He talked to Maria Bartiromo this morning. Probably members of the parole board believe, as Many Americans do that he got away with murder as a result of what our legal team did and how badly the prosecution botched the case. And if thats taken into account, it would really constitute the experience of double jeopardy. Hes been acquitted of an account. The fact that he was found civilly liable only shows the complexity of the legal system. Liz so did simpson get away with two murders . The murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and ron goldman . Well, not in a court of law. They didnt prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. So as a result, he was found not guilty, and he challenged the system. And remember, liz. In no way apologizing for what happened in that situation. That was the situation where the government had somebody that had the money to have the team, the dream team to say to them i am willing to go to jail if you prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. But if you dont, then im going to walk out a free man. And he had the money and the people to put together. In america, that makes a difference. It doesnt make it always right. But theres a saying. Reasonable fee, ready. And thats exactly what happened back then. Liz remember when oj said he was going to hunt down Nicole Browns sister . What kind of life will he have when hes released . I always is the greatest, safest bet in america is when oj said ill give somebody 5 million when they find the murderer. Well, let me tell you. Safe bet. No question because you already know what the case is. But, unfortunately, in this situation, this parole board doesnt have to take this in a effect. They look at the facts of the cases before them, they granted the parole. Now he gets to be a free man. Hell be watched. But, listen, thats the way the system works. Not a perfect system, but thats the way that it works. Liz bob ma
