When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Trump will announce two more cabinet picks as soon as according to a top transition source. Steve mnuchin, hes a wall street alum and Goldman Sachs alum who is expected to be named treasury secretary. While wilbur ross, a billionaire investor, is expected to be department of commerce. Pledge to, quote, drain the swamp of globalists, elitists and insiders now seems to be doing his most to fill it to the brim. With mitt its not unusual for Campaign Promises to fall by the way side, but with his latest nominations, particularly those related to health care, donald trump may be in the midst of pulling off the biggest bait and switch in recent memory. You cannot let people die on the street. The a very republican thing to say. Really, really sick and are thatssingle payer,ake care of themselves. Among a crowded field of 17 f people with preexisting anything, something he reiterated time and time again, Social Security and medicare and medicaid, what republicans refer a lot of these guys, they want to cut your Social Security. To do things to Social Security and medicaid. Youve been paying into it. Were not going to do it. Not fair, not going to do it. That position is still up there at donaldjtrump. Com, why donald trump wont touch your entitlements. Earlier today the trump nominations, georgia congressman tom price for director of health and Human Services and seema verma. Being one of the few republican lawmakers to actually come up with a plan to replace obamacare. This one from congressman things would let insurers charge more to patients with preexisting conditions. It would give out tax credits based on age bracket. The older you are, the more you get with no adjustments for income as the ryan plan does. And prices bill would simply eliminate the medicaid a program that covers millions of people, replacing it with nothing. And as the current chairman of price has also backed ryans plan to privatize medicare telling reporters that he expects the house to move on medicare reforms six to eight months into the trump administration. Affordable care act has some the one unequivocal success of that law is it has expanded Insurance Coverage to about 20 Million People in this country. Has plummeted to an alltime low of just 10 in the First Quarter for first time 90 of americans have health care coverage. Especially pronounced among low income whites without a college degree. Post, the unissued rate for College Educated whites fell by ten Percentage Points from 25 to 15 . If obamacare is repealed and congressman prices bill is same people, many of them, could lose their coverage. Incoming Senate Minority leader signaled today, democrats arent without a fight. Between this nomination of an avowed medicare opponent and republicans here in washington threatening to privatize medicare . Its clear that Washington Republicans are plotting a war on seniors. We say to our republicans who want to privatize medicare, go try it. And joining me now, political analyst howard dean, former dnc chair, also a physician, and let me start with you because i civil war brewing. Prices plan or ryans plan, would you say theres tension between the rhetoric of donald across the board, Social Security, medicare and medicaid which he was quick to point out, and the kind of vision of both ryan and price . Yeah, i would say the way you summarize trumps policy point promises. Obamacare. Everybody. This is a guy that you note this supports universal coverage. And he said hes going to do it in a way thats less expensive, less costly than the aca. Those thee policy objectives can be achieved. There. Would do that. And remember, the hhs secretary doesnt write legislation. Right. And not just both branches of congress, particularly the senate. Votes in the senate to replace the aca. Say. Privatization angle of this. This is something that paul ryan has wanted to do forever. Its part of the ryan budget, the dream of republican think tanks, the dream of a whole a long time. If theres one thing that theres no mandate for, its that. Donald trump specifically ran saying im not going to do that. Reminds me of the bush Social Security fight in 2005. It is the bush social i predict this wont get out of the house. Why . Opponent who will call them on it. That you could get democrats to pick up more seats in 2018. Just a simple medicare privatization . Yeah, this basically takes medicare away from people who people who arent. This is insane. Theres no constituency for this except among the right wing think tank people in washington. Thats my question for you. When selling the aca, which republicans have sort of lorded over your head, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Conceptually true, in every individual instance, it was not, clearly, some people lost their doctors. Take this massive change to American Health care, saying if you have insurance now, youre no one can credibly make that promise. Remember in 2010 when in the house, they passed the paul ryan medicare plan out of the house and theyve done that every single year since then. Right. Majority. Its not obvious to me that theres this huge april price for passing the ryan plan out of the house. Bill and another thing when that bill becomes law. So theres a very big have spent eight years criticizing Democrats Health care policy initiatives, criticizing the Affordable Care will, i will imagine, own it entirely. Important point about the paul medicare for anybody over the age of 55. Of the plan, so to speak. Your interpretation. By the time we get through by the time we get through with it, people over 65 will think it will be attacking them. Yeah. To explain this. I like governor dean announcing exactly how exactly what were going to do. Your old weekend show in 2012 when mitt romney picked paul ryan as his running mate and Rachel Maddow was sitting next so awesome. The democrats will be able to torch romney with seniors. He did better with seniors than any other age group. But its interesting to hear you say that. Because heres what my theory of the case here. Primary because he rejected a whole bunch of orthodoxy on smaller government, on entitlements, on sort of free markets and how free markets operate. Ran as this Big Government quasiauthoritarian. Turned out the Republican Base liked that. They dont want medicare cut, they dont want it privatized. Now the entire institutional nature of the think tank world and all the wonks are from the price ryan avik school. Theyll get a chance to try that out even though as governor dean says theres no actual political constituency for that. I think there is a political constituency for it. Im looking forward to im right about the mandate or reform. Heres what im not looking forward to, is a bunch of people are poor, struggling and have the sort of well have a way of looking at that. Because in kentucky they have a basically busy stripping his own constituents, the modest income constituents, the modest income white voters of their medicaid. They had the best rollout of the aca under Steve Brashear in the country, the best implementation, the current it. Price they pay. To me, the bigger thing hert whichever way that disruption moves in my ideological direction. Disrupt in some way. The plan were talking about before, the plan at our foundation which is called transcending obamacare, that plan is exactly to your point. As possible at modernizing medicare and medicaid and the Legacy Health care system, people. To your point that you made emphasize this, donald trump in the very first president ial debate he was asked by one of the moderato do. And he still won. Yes. Republicans who say we dont want to cover as many people as the aca, they wont hold sway. It will be Donald Trumps that will matter. You wont get anything done in health care or coverage unless you get rid of fee for service medicine. Tom price is not on the side of that. Do it first, which is i think which will do this with the they have to. Thanks, buddy. From suggesting flag burners should lose their citizenship to getting distracted from his, quote, bind the wounds of division. It was 3 00 in the morning on Election Night. He gets a lot of compliments. He wears his army hat, walks around with his army shirt looking all nice. And then people just say, thank you for serving our country and im like, thats my dad. Male vo no one deserves a warmer welcome home. Thats why were hiring 10,000 members of the military community by the end of 2017. Im very proud of him. Male vo comcast. Now its time for america to bind the wounds of division. We have to get together. To all republicans and democrats nation, i say it is time for us to come together as one united people. Tonight there are more signs that donald trump is losing that kumbaya spirit from Election Night or election day after morning. Not to forget the forgotten men and women. Tweet of a 16yearold reporter reporter. A selfdescribed 16yearold Oakland Raiders fan, pathetic. You have no sufficient evidence that donald trump did not suffer but as filibuster himself hastened to point out, it did reporter. Cnn is blaming me for calling jeff zeleny a bad reporter. Donald trump added that to the end of the tweet, not me, thank you. Suggesting consequences for flag burners. Year in jail. Those are wildly divergent penalties. There was speculation that it design to distract the public from the growing concerns about trumps conflicts of interest or his pick for hhs secretary. The real reason appears to be far more mundane, that trump saw a story on fox news about students who allegedly burned a flag. Timing of trumps tweet lines up with fox segment at 6 25 a. M. On students burning the flag. Meanwhile, hes about to embark on a thank you tour of the states that he won. Tour. Heres what i find fascinating, when democrats win, theres immediately this sort of call that they have to reach across that in 2012 after the whole republican autopsy. Anymore, latinos by the margins and still win election. Got the biggest loss in the popular vote since rutherford b. Hayes and theres no sense that hes reaching out and no pressure to do so. Look, the whole idea of mandates ive always found to be really worthless. You hear a lot about you hear a lot about mandates. There never was. No one has ever been constrained that way. It is really baked into the cake. As to who the politicians are. This tweet after watching a fox telling thing about this. I dont think theres any strategy. Of im not healing the country, i am healing the country. I just get the sense that, honestly, like the transition is moving forward. Shadow not shadow, a whole government thats sitting and waiting. Tweet, then he gets allowed to tweet. There. Doing, i dont think theres any grand plan. And him sort of like, well, as long as he stays out on the porch the famous wedge issue memo Patrick Buchanan wrote nixon back in the 60s. We cleaved the country in half but we get the bigger half. In numerical sense its not the bigger half. But donald trump knows he has a real, intense, emotional intuitive appeal to his hard core supporters and those are going to be the people this entire presidency will revolve around, rhetorically, in terms of issues he pushes. Thats 100 clear to me. Hes caught in this media bubble that were all part of to a certain extent. Thats where hes going from. And i think thats whats driving him. Im not even sure its as hes a that and theres a lot of people out there that want to consume that. A mandate happening right now at the popular jean george restaurant, three michelin stars here in new york. Thats trump and mitt romney and Reince Priebus playing the third wheel. Its totally bizarre. These are rich people eating at a very nice restaurant. The romney subplot here, which right . Do you move beyond your base because this is the guy that standardbearer for nevertrump republicanism. What is your interpretation of with respect to that . My sense is and this really has nothing to do with no, its all personality. There is an entire apparatus around donald trump that has absolutely no experience in government. Yep. People walking into the white yep. Zero experience. Number of those people the last thing id want is someone to of an understanding of the way government works. Or would you want that more than anything . You and i would want that. And there are people who understand you want to surround yourself with more experience inexperienced, you want to wreak havoc, which im not convinced, if im reading stuff that bannon has said, that he doesnt want a lot of that. Grown uppish. Right, right. Mitt romney is not my they perceive him that way. Sam seder, thank you. Sheriff david clark Donald Trumps possible pick for leader of Homeland Security who is facing questions for four recent ty. Companies like carrier simply fire their workers and move their operations to mexico, build new plants, make their product and sell it back into this country. Guess what . Anymore. Look, if you move, we are going to charge you 35 every time you think youre going to sell it back into our country. Okay . Conditioning unit, carrier, who left indianapolis, every time unit and you think youre going to sell it into our country tax free, not going to happen anymore. 35 tax. 35 tax. Happen . When they hear that, theyre not leaving, folks. The a favorite cause of trump, the carrier plant in indianapolis, where it told its workers they were up and moving production to mexico. Way to stay competitive and protect the business for long term is to move production from our facility at indianapolis to monterrey, mexico. The move would eliminate 1400 jobs at least in indianapolis over a threeyear time table. Theres also another factory nearby. Workers said they hoped that skeptical. Through, im assuming that would be a euphoric day for everyone at carrier. If he can come here and save these 1400 jobs here tomorrow, ill gladly vote for him again if hes up for reelection. But im very hopeful that he can come through on these things he tonight cnbc news said trump is heading to indianapolis this would apparently save 1,000 jobs. Pleased to reach a deal with president elect trump and, this close to 1,000 jobs in indy. They had been working on inducements to keep carrier there. The actual difls the deal which is a combination one imagines of carrots more than sticks, exactly what carrot was promised unclear. Include new inducements from state. Indiana governor pence. Inducements were made. Milwaukee jail in july. Saying the jail staff ignored a 30yearold woman who was almost nine months pregnant is seeking damages. Her lawyer wrote in the notice of claims that she told a corrections officer her water labor. Her. Officer she was going into labor around midnight, gave birth around 4 00 a. M. And finally received attention from officers at 6 00 a. M. Later that day. That former inmates claim is against the Milwaukee CountySheriffs Office which has sin inform jail staff that she was going into labor and the baby is stillborn. It is run by sheriff david clark. He may be familiar to you from frequent fox news appearances, his turn at a speaker at the Republican National convention. He made an appearance at trump tower where he met with the president elect and is reportedly under consideration department of Homeland Security. Their office would have no further comment on the newborns death, but thats not the only death thats occurred in the jail system that mr. Clark runs. Another inmate died of profound dehydration according to the Milwaukee County medical for water in the days before he died. Clarks office said it would not all investigations and possible lawsuits have ended. Other inmates have died at the jail. Two cases. Consideration to run part of the federal government, we thought his record well. Joining me wisconsin state representing milwaukee. Representative barnes, what is performance in his role as the opposed to his role as a provocateur and talking head . Well, thats about all he is, is a provocateur and talking head. Hes shown nothing but a culture mach county sheriff, political ambitions above the needs of the people of Milwaukee County. Neglect to protect president barack obama when he was in milwaukee a few years back, yet hes parading around with donald trump, made sure he made it to the Republican National political speeches and travel than he does, actually, working as sheriff of Milwaukee County. Months. For over 400,000 in lawsuits. Were looking at potentially millions more if these four deaths are settled. Were quoting journal sentinel reporting and i have sources and friends in milwaukee reputation there. How much this is an issue, is a scandal there. Obviously, they deny that the charges of the woman who is suing, but a newborn dead in a jail is no small thing. Right. And so this is sheriff clark not performing his duties. This is his staff under his supervision. Imagine if hes the head of trouble that spells for people across the entire united states. It should be very frightening for a lot of people who only hear sheriff david clark but we should make a point the department of Homeland Security is the entity that runs huge facilities that detain and incarcerate thousands, hundreds of thousands at times immigrants, sometimes families. Theres been huge abuses. A lot of thats privatized even human Rights Groups have raised concerns. Duties of sheriff clark were he to take that position. And one thing that a lot of people can iden
