Democrats are definitely not on board. The Senate Majority leader says this has to get done. Ultimately, we want to get legislation to finally end of the failed care status quo through congress and to the president s desk for his signature. Democrats will be here fighting for as long as it takes to beat back these shameful health care bills. We hear the american people, we hear you, we are on your side, and we will never give up. Melissa peter doocy is live on capitol hill with more on this showdown. Peter, what can you tell us at this hour . Melissa, senator Lisa Murkowski, one of the hardest votes to get, one of the two republicans who voted no on the motion to proceed is standing right here and she just confirmed to this group of reporters, as were walking with her in the hallway, that she got a call from ryan zinke expressing his displeasure about her position on health care so far. That confirms reports that shes been feeling a lot of heat from the white house to come around and she changed her mind and the other republican no vote, senator Susan Collins told us a little bit about that just a few minutes ago on her way into this hearing. If the reports are true, Lisa Murkowski is doing her best for her constituents. Reporter we were there is a lot of talk now about this skinny repeal that would restrict the mandates and medical device task, but leave the rest of obamacare in place. It may be seen as the only way to get moderates and conservatives on board with something i could pass, but the problem is, nobody knows whats in it. I dont know what skinny repeal is. There is no indication of what would be in that bill. Im for repeal and replace and we are continuing to work on replacement because we need it badly, we need a rescue plan for people of ohio who are and counties where there is not a single insurer. There is a cbo score released by Senate Democrats last night that show a skinny repeal could increase premiums by 20 , but its not clear how amendments would make that number go up or down, so again, we still dont know what the impact would be, but there are republican senators were very excited to vote on an obamacare placement. Senator john kenney, he said he will be on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. Melissa what an interesting image. Its going to be a long and exciting day for us and all of them. Hope everybody will stay tuned, thank you so much, peter. Jon democrats pass to the obamacare process into law without any republic in support, now they are enjoying watching republicans trying to undo their work. This is the Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer speaking now about obamacare. Lets listen. How many more months will this go on . How many more months, when we could be sitting down and a bipartisan way with my good friend from arizona has recommended, and Work Together in the Committee Process . This morning i saw lamar alexander, the head of the Health Committee in the gym, we see each other just about every morning in the gym. I was wearing my syracuse tshirt and he was wearing his Tennessee Volunteers tshirt. I said to lamar, if this skinny bill goes down, as it should, we will, and i spoke to patty murray, we will sit down and work in a bipartisan way to improve obamacare. We know obamacare needs some work, we dont deny that. Lets do it in a bipartisan way. Instead of passing this hot potato back and forth and not getting anything done. Jon thats Chuck Schumer live on the floor of the senate expressing some of the democrats view on the republican efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. Lets talk about whats going on with a. B. Stoddard and vince colones a. B. , it appears theyre heading toward a vote for this socalled skinny repeal, but nobody seems to know a lot about whats in it, can you enlighten us . Its what peter told us is basically a repeal of the individual mandates. It would have certainly been one of the first things they attempted, democrats, to join with republicans on if Hillary Clinton had won, but this is not a repeal and it keeps the medicaid expansion, those taxes, so what happened between last night and this morning was that there was some enthusiasm for this idea just being a process, lets hurtle it back over to the house and this could begin the housesenate conference process. I way to keep the conversation going and keep it alive, but now the new anxiety is at the house will take it rate up and this would indeed become the final thing that passes and there wouldnt be a conference or a consensus draft that would be a start all over again draft, so thats a worry that i think people like senator collins who say i dont know whats in it and they wont end up with the numbers they were hoping to from this sort of no big deal. They dont wanted to be the final product. I think that has a chance of imperiling the numbers before they get to the vote. Jon if you drop the individual mandate, vents, dont millions of people just drop from the roles of obamacare of their own volition . This is the challenge republicans are facing. If theyre going to drop the penalties of the individual mandate, theyll also have to see if they can find some cost savings for one because if they get it through the reconciliation progress procesh drop from obamacare because theres no inducement for them to join it. Only the people who have to stay on obamacare, highrisk patients, will see a rise dramatically potentially a people decide is not worth it, there is no individual mandate anymore, im out. This is a half measure, this is not a real attempt at fixing it. If youre going after that mandate, youll also have to go after the out of control costs and health care. Jon vince, if we get a cbo score and there is no indicatio indication if we saw a cbo score that says 12, 15, 30 Million People, whatever, would be lost from the Health Insurance roles, primarily that would be because they dont want to pay the penalty, right . Right. The cbo in general has a difficult time predicting when Human Behavior will be. Thats the belief. You have people who decide i dont need this, ill be fine, im healthy. Young people especially. These are people that the Obama Administration went after. They wanted people in their 20s to be forced to join health plans because by and large, many are saying no need, ill be fine. Jon my senior producer is telling me the cbo did score the bill, ab, and 16 Million People would be uninsured if it were to pass this skinny repeal. That doesnt seem to sit well. When senators read these headlines that say x number millions of people would no longer be insured, they seem to run a little scared. The cbo scores always scare a few extra votes when they come out. They also said premiums would rise by 20 . As of last night, they were ignoring with the cbo assessment was because they thought this was just going to be a shallow bill that will send over. Now the concern is, what if the house just passes it and it was the final product and they voted for it . If its not just a vehicle to go to a conference, they could end up supporting this bill. Thats why the numbers are going to drop, unless theres a real agreement that it will not be the final product. A few months ago, house members when this was failing kept saying to me, the only bill that can make it to trumps desk to be signed is something crafted by the senate. We have to stop being forced to take a tough vote, we should send a bill over there and then they can write this bill. The endgame is always going to happen in the senate. The idea that the senate is trying to punch this back, it doesnt bode well. Jon right, because when the house bill passed and there was that big celebration in the rose garden, everybody was saying, we wont even pick up the house legislation, we are doing our own thing. Jon dominic whether or not they can use the processes of the senate to get something meaningful out, i think both republicans and democrats have a lot to answer here. Democrats are acting and obstructive way. There no way interest in helpi. Chuck schumer is trying to walk that line, meanwhile, republicans are not delivering to their base. Their base asked for a lot more than this and if theyre only giving them half of it which will result in higher premiums and fewer people having health care, that will annoy a lot of the people who put these guys in office. Jon lets put into mind that one should not observe how laws or sausages are made. Its getting pretty ugly there in washington, d. C. , well see what happens in the next 24hour period vince and ab, think of both. Melissa a key witness in the Russian Investigation shedding new light and how the put in operation. Bill browder testifying before the Senate Judiciary committee this morning, rather spearheaded the magnitsky act imposing sanctions on russians involved in the death of his former accounting. Serge give sworn testimony to the Russian Committee which is their version of the fbi and we waited for the good guys to get the bad guys. It turned out that in putins russia, there are no good guys. On november 24th, 2008, about 4 weeks after sergey testified before a bunch of corrupt officials, some of the same officials he testified against came to his home at 8 00 in the morning in front of his wife and two children, arrested him, they put him in pretrial detention, where they then tortured to withdraw his testimony. Melissa Catherine Herridge is live on capitol hill. This is a big story. Thanks, melissa. Bill browder testified that the russian lawyer natalia veselnitskaya, the one who is at the 2016 trump tower meeting was part of this broad effort to get the magnitsky act repealed and these are sanctions that were leveled after this russian whistleblower was murdered because he had exposed the corruption of Vladimir Putins government. Twoway russian agent or official, a conversation about adoptions is a conversation about what . Nobody was hung by adoption, they were talking about the repeal of sanctions so russian tortures and murders could continue. And his testimony, bill browder also made the point that a key player who is part of a broad effort to repeal the sanctions was also a key player in the commissioning of the unverified antitrump dossier and in this exchange with republican senator Lindsey Graham, browder explains how the russians operate. Is it common for russia to play both sides against the middle . Yes. But a report and is in the business of trying to create chaos everywhere. For this dump any fusion gps, this is run by this former journalist with the wall street journal, glenn simpson, or contacts focused on discussions with the Committee Say the subpoena was withdrawn, simpson did not have to appear today and he is now cooperating with them in an effort to provide a transcribed interview, some testimony in the future about this unverified dossier. Melissa lots of information they are, Catherine Herridge, thank you for that report. Jon the staff shakeup by the white house might be the beginning as a new Communications DirectorAnthony Scaramucci suggests it might be time to clean house. The white house.

One of the big problem is that im discovering is that senior people are the guys doing the leaking when they ask junior people to leak for them. Melissa new signs of a growing risk in the white house west wing is new Communications DirectorAnthony Scaramucci suggests more people may have to go to stop all the leaks. As you know from the italian expression, the fish stinks from the head down. I can tell you to fish that dont stink and thats me on the president. I dont like the activity thats going on in the white house, i dont like what theyre doing to my friend, i dont like what theyre doing to the president of the united states. If you want to talk about the staff, we have had differences. When i said we were brothers from the podium, its because were rough. Some brothers are like cain and abel, other brothers can fight with each other and get along. I dont know if this is repairable or not, that will be up to the president. Melissa that interview after the scare in which he released this tweet which has since been deleted. In light of the leak, i will be contacting fbi and the justice department. All this marking more speculation that scaramucci is gunning for Reince Priebus job as white house chief of staff. A. J. Elrod is a former press secretary for the Democratic National campaign committee. Roy mathesons former chief of staff. You guys have both but in these positions. Age again, let start with you. What do you thinks going on . This is crazy. First of all, scaramucci probably should have realized that Financial Disclosure forms are Public Information before he went out there and tweeted at the fbi and blamed the white house chief of staff. At the end of the day, we are dealing with another example of somebody who is working in this white house who is in it for himself and not the actual Public Service aspect. Melissa let me stop you right there. How do you get that hes in it for himself based on that . My point is, its fairly obvious that he is gunning for Reince Priebus is chief of staff position. Hes throwing him under the bus, hes tweeting that hes leaking this information, if scaramucci wants to be an effective munications director, this is not the right way to get up to the right start. Is an interesting indication of whats going on within the white house and i think the reason you have so many leaks is because you have a very transactional situation going on. You dont have a lot of relationship building. Thats when leaks happen. Whether you like president obama or president george w. Bush, they had fiercely loyal inner circles because they had relationships. I think what youre going to see between now and the end of august is youll see that shift within the white house staff. If the white house was really smart, theyd bring in someone like dave bossi who understands inside and outside, but can build relationships and focus for the white house. Right now, you have too many things going on. Melissa i need you guys to stand by, were going to squeeze in a quick break. Dont move. Jon a tragic accident on the ohio state fair. Throwing people to the ground in front of dozens horrified witnesses. Everything started normally and then it started shaking and stuff, it was shaking real bad. Listen up, Heart Disease. you too, unnecessary er visits. And hey, unmanaged depression, dont get too comfortable. Were talking to you, cost inefficiencies and data without insights. And fragmented care stop getting in the way of patient recovery and pay attention. Every single one of you is on our list. For those who wont rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. Optum. How well gets done. For years, centurylink has been promising fast internet to small businesses. But for many businesses, its out of reach. Why promise something you cant deliver . Comcast business is different. We deliver superfast internet with speeds of 250 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than centurylink. We do business where you do business. Melissa lets get back to adrian elrod, and boyd matheson. Adrian, the problem with the leaks continues out of the white house and even if this was a form that was available, its likely someone putting them towards it and said did you know the form is available and there might be stuff on there that interests you . It tells about the struggles going on in the white house, but proceeded Anthony Scaramucci. I completely agree and i give Anthony Scaramucci credit, but i dont think hes going about it in the right way. The point that we made earlier about you have to form respectful relationship, when he can do is come in their and do what he can to stop the leaks, but whatever hes doing right now is not working and there seems to be a low level of respect thus far. Melissa i dont know about that. He does have a history with cnn, when they put out that big news story about him, he demanded a retraction. And they apologized, he respected accepted it. Listen to what he said
