" tonight, simone, former national press secretary bernie sanders, ben ferguson, a conservative radio host, simone, you look at those poll numbers there and yet, you have to ask the question. is the president right? is more of the country with him on standing for the anthem? >> look, i think the president is wrong and i think have you asked the question in a poll matters. there are a number of people that believe these protesters are protesting the anthem. they're bringing awareness to police violence, brutality, justice, racism, this has been con plated because donald trump weigheded in on the issue without the facts, which he often does. zpl you make a fair point. i know many of the play rs have made a point of saying i'm not protesting the anthem, but the fact is, they are kneeling and ben, if you look at these numbers, do you see something? >> it doesn't matter what you're protesting. it's inappropriate to protest during "the national anthem." it's inappropriate for any player of any race to be stretching and disrespecting and getting ready for the game by stretching and disrespec

-- >> doesn't sound good. >> some are fuming that bernie sanders may have handed the gop a perfect platform to pass their health plan. >> went up and said everybody hates their plan. >> their plan is horrible. >> why don't you jump in the middle of that and actually try to help them out by debating. >> what's going on? >> the democrats have had so many bad ideas politically. i do have to say -- and we'll talk about this. this is without a doubt one of the worst political ideas i have heard in a very long time. they saving the republicans from their own stupidity. some would say immorality. >> it's not good. it's not pretty. that's to be really short here. >> we'll tell you all about that in just a moment. >>> puerto rico reels from hurricane maria. pictures are still coming in. we'll be following both of those stories throughout the morning. another very busy morning along with joe, willie and me. we have washington anchor here. good to have you on board this morning. republicans have until next saturday to pass a bill to repeal obamacare. that race seems to have been ignoring earl

little fearful. >> we're still in the system still. not to sound like bernie sanders, but it's the truth. the richer are getting richer. the poor are getting poorer. the middle class is getting squeezed. try to send your kid to college if you're a middle class american. the costs of colleges are exploding. the costs of picture is exploding. you can go down the line and people are seeing slowly but surely the american dream slipping away. what their parents were able to do, what they were able to enjoy, the life they were able to live, that's out of the reach for a lot of younger americans. >> and that's why donald trump is talking about a middle class tax cut. he goes out and intentionally says this is not going to be a tax cut for the rich. this is for the middle class, the people who put me in the white house. i remember the conversations in philadelphia two summers ago, governor, at the democratic convention. we sat in the bar. it wasn't just you. vice president biden came in and said on national television, you're not talking to my guys in scranton talking about hillary clint c

who covered bernie sanders, we are seeing candidates primeing people, pushing this agenda that is getting more millennials out. in my reporting onmillenials ou. his campaign and his advisers did not set out to say okay, we're going to have a whole bunch of rallies and all those young people there. bernie sanders told me these young people started showing up because they like this message and it was before seen as fringe, before seen as someone who had no realistic actual ideas that could work. now you're seeing them saying we don't want chuck and nancy anywhere near the white house. it tells me that we are already starting to see candidates that are look at bernie sanders and say we're going to go do those same messages and that will bring out young people. >> thank you so much, both of you. >>> still ahead, what are the chances that michael flynn and paul manafort will be indicted as a result of the russian investigation? top member of the senate judiciary committee puts it at 99%. that's high. >> pretty good odds. >> that means that there's really -- a good chance they'll be ind

. bernie sanders' proposal for single payer health care. >> health care in america must be a right, not a privilege. >> thrills the base but not the democratic leadership. >> there are many different bills out there. we want to move the issue forward. we're looking at all of these. >> senator bernie sanders joins me this morning. >>> plus, where hurricane irma hit the hardest. the u.s. virgin islands. >> we lost one of the victims here, took him right out of the building. >> my trip to the virgin islands. >> there's your couch. there's your television. >> with former new york city mayor michael bloomberg, who is raising awareness and money for the area. >> people have lost everything and don't have insurance. they've got to start again. >> joining me for insight and analysis are, presidential historian doris kearns goodman, al cardenas. nbc news correspondent kay ty tur. and david brody. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> announcer: from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, celebrating its 70th year. this is "meet the press" with chuck t

they do not want to return to regular order. the bernie sanders, elizabeth warden, kamala harris wing of the party is ascendant. they are moving left on health care, bret. i think john mccain is on a fool's errand here. >> bret: there was a bipartisan effort from murray and the... who else... lamar alexander. they were moving forward with a save obamacare piece of legislation. it would've not done anything close to what graham-cassidy is doing. >> correct. these are deafly finding a way to move forward in a bipartisan manner and this moved in and it was a popular thing that everyone was talking about this past week. i think what this is is a rare real referendum on donald trump. he's unable to close a deal on this kind of legislation. there is no way for him to call up senator, "john, i need you here. vote for this bill." >> bret: you look at the wall street-abc bill, this question about working with a fiscal deal with the democrats, approved 71%, disapprove 8%. if this deal does fail, as it look like it's going to tonight, you would assume that president trump is going to like t

? what is motivating her to do this? >> i think she wanted to settle some scores with bernie sanders and others and i think she was also wounded by the result of this election. she thought she was going to win this election and be president-elect and president. she said it was catharctic to go through the process of writing this book in this house they bought this guest house they bought with the idea of it willing used by the secret service for the president. >> did she offer advice moving forward? >> she offered advice, done pay attention to bernie sanders, he is not a democratic and doesn't have democratic interests at heart, there are two people that get under her skin, one is bernie sanders, the other is james comey. >> oh. >> what is it? >> i'm surprised in the coverage of the book how she comes you've as so anythingly, bernie sanders, think deeper into that, what is it they'rerytates her about him. how can she come to the conclusion he's not the face of the democratic party within it seems to be the face of the democratic party often exists? >> i think for one thing, she believes

the narrative we might see in 20 to zero if someone like bernie sanders or elizabeth warren is coming along articulating socialism. we saw senator sanders' health care bill this week. they articulating the notion of socialism as something positive, i think president trump wants to bind up his idea. look at venezuela and children starving to death and come back and say that the country with the world's largest oil reserves is doing a good job. it's a clever strategy. >> bret: let's take a listen to the iran part. >> we cannot let a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities while building dangerous missiles and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program. >> bret: the prime minister of israel said i couldn't agree more. the question is what that means policy wise. by october 15, there has to be a decision. >> it's the next big deadline on foreign policy. it will be significant if he pulls out because we have european allies part of that agreement who don't want him to pull out. he said the deal, if it prov

her fights with bernie sanders? >> boy, i don't feel like it is. hillary clinton is so much more than what happened in this campaign and so much more than what could have should have, would have been. there are lots of people litigating that. i don't think it needs to be her and i frankly wish it wasn't her. >> but there's a big fight going on right now within the democratic party. there are still a lot of bernie supporters who feel like they got screwed by the primary process. the dnc hack showed there were people in the dnc out to get bernie sanders. this airing of grievances feeds into that. >> all of those are grievances and most importantly they're all about the past. politics are always contests for the future. this is a party -- and i think this happens in any party. republicans had this after 2012 where somebody has to step aside, new leaders have to emerge, new voices have to come on the scene and articulate the vision of the party. every time we are revisiting what happened in 2016, it in some ways suffocates the party's ability to grow and bring out these new voices an

? we don't know. bernie sanders is talking about medicare for all. this is what democrats have always wanted. a pathway to universal health. this is one step in that direction. i'll hand it to democrats. they're at least unified on this. i think if nothing else, this will send a message to republicans we need to get on board with what we want to do to repeal and replace obamacare. right now, it's the graham-cassidy bill to block grant money to the states. that is a good effort. i think now that bernie sanders and a large majority of democrats have something on paper that makes sense to them, that should put fuel in the fire for republicans. >> you just mentioned the graham-cassidy bill. we all assumed repeal and replace was dead. this act is coming back. there's a september 30th deadline. can it actually pass? >> they still need 50 votes. you're not going to have rand paul. he's going to be against anything. you're not going to have susan collins. it may come down the lisa murkowski of alaska. there is a renewed effort. and part of this is driven, i think because trump has show

pelosi are coming to dinner here in a few moments. senator bernie sanders wants all of america on the same health plan with the government running the operation. it's called single-payer, and it has long been a goal of the political left wing. now it has become a mainstream idea for democrats. chief washington correspondent james rosen has details. what it may mean politically for democrats. >> we now have 16 cosponsors on this legislation. >> one-third of the senate democratic caucus has already signed onto the single-payer health care bill senator bernie sanders unveiled wednesday including most of the parties potential presidential aspirants. >> health care is a basic human right and we fight for basic human rights. >> this is the fight for our nation to live up to our ideals. >> it's a better return on the investment for the american taxpayer. >> what a difference from 2010 when president obama pushed the affordable character through congress along party lines without proposing a full government takeover of health insurance, even though he favored the idea because it was considere

favor of bernie sander, particularly with the typing of the dnc attack, the way it was weaponized against you in favor of donald trump. but do you recognize why, how hard it is to tell people fundamentally they were manipulated when they feel like, and i think justifiably and rightly whichever decision they made, they made the decision because the decision they made, right? it seems like part of the problem with this argument is not only do you have to say well, the russians did all this nefarious stuff, but also you, american citizen you were a dupe. you got duped. >> no i don't think that's how you say it at all, chris. that's not how i say it. i don't blame voters. i don't blame voters who woke up and saw that james comey was reopening an investigation and didn't know what to think and i know very well that stopped my momentum and cost me votes. and i think was the determinative factor of my defeat. i don't blame voter hoss are searching, googling, trying to find out information that will help them make a decision, who are being told that the clinton foundation, one of the most

margin between hillary clinton and donald trump. other ads promoted votes for bernie sanders, reportedly right before the election, long after bernie sanders had left the race and endorsed clinton and said people should vote for her. russian operators saying still vote for bernie, wouldn't be wasted vote. we're starting to see clear lie how they operate. what they're trying to do. russia supports division in the countries and geopolitical entities they see as their rivals. russia seeks to divide or silence when they can political movements and leaders that oppose them. russia also seems to just like far right populist movements that bring out most antidemocratic and ugly tendencies in western countries. turning native populations specifically against immigrants, refugees, muslims. in germany, angela merkel reelected but first time in post-world war ii era, a far right party will be represented in the german parliament. afd, about 13% of the vote. will be represented in parliament and their interests in the election were promoted by russian state-run media and bots and trump campaign vete

from the left side of the party, the bernie sanders and elizabeth warrens, the kamala harriss, sherrod brown versus some of the more moderates, tim ryan, joe biden and the party leadership in the form of schumer and pelosi. the party is punching a little above its weight here. in general i think it might benefit from going to that workshop noyourvalue.com. it might be time for them to hit that. >> i seriously agree with you. that's knowyourvalue365. >> how does hillary clinton play into all this and the book tour? >> i think a lot of the attention was focused on what she thought bernie sanders had done to her or to the party or changed it. i think what's past is prologue, mika. i think we'll see some of the same things take place as they roll into 2018 and 2020. a lot of people have criticized sanders into stepping up, the one-single-pair things. some people criticized sanders for a time that would do thgive lift to the graham cassidy member. that that teed up the whole health care debate when obama said i thought it was done. only 50 or 60 times they tried to kill it. this looks like

proposal for bernie sanders which is a medicare for all-type plan. >> we're here to tell those families and people all across this country that under medicare for all, the average american family will be much better off financially than under the current system because you will no longer be riding checks to private insurance companies. >> shepard: mike emanuel, thank you. continuing coverage of breaking news out of freeman high school in washington state. a fire official has just held a news conference and says a gunman killed one and shot three others today. this happened in rockford, washington, a few miles south and east of spokane. investigators say they have the suspect in custody. no further danger at the school to anyone. initial reports indicate the person that died was a student at the school. again, at least three other people injured. some reports have the number higher. a fire official says three others were shot. a spokes woman from one hospital says paramedics brought in three children and they're all now in stable condition. the school is closed for the rest of t

senator bernie sanders who ran for the democratic nomination last year saying it's, "pretty dumb not to ask hard questions about harvey and climate change." the senator made the comment on cnn. many people who feel men mage climb -- man-made climate change fuels storms like hurricane harvey are now forcibly making that case in the media. james rosen looks at the science and the politics tonight. >> even before hurricane harvey made platform friday afternoon, neil degrasse tyson considered it a teachable moment. the celebrated astrophysicist on twitter, no -- others were not far behind. >> it is fairly likely, certainly very likely that the effects of this hurricane were exacerbated by climate change. >> it's exactly the type of thing the experts on climate had been predicting. >> the national oceanic and atmospheric demonstration officially lists extreme weather events as one of several phenomena occurring more frequently because of climate change. but the shooting specific storms to climate change is, "much harder." this branch of science is known as extreme event attribution and is

to us from bernie sanders, as you know, a single payer plan. he has at least 16, a third of the democratic caucus in the senate supporting it. some have questioned whether this is becoming a litmus test for democrats, whether they're on the senator's side of health care or on a more moderate side of health care. is this proposal helping or hurting the democratic party come together behind a cohesive set of ideas in anticipation of the next two elections? >> i always to borrow from your earlier segment on football, i always believe in playing this week's game, and this week's game is making sure that we stop this ill-conceived idea that our colleagues seem content on continuing to push even though there are hospitals, physicians, organizations all across america who are saying this will gut our health care, so please stop putting this proposal on the table. we have to fight that battle first. as you can see, while we've had some good support just this past friday, we have to make sure that we execute on this this week and continue to win this debate. >> harold. >> senator campbel

about her going after bernie sanders and saying he damaged her to the point with progressives in particular, that he made a weapon to donald trump and helped her lose the election? >> you know, everybody wants hillary to say how she -- you know, she said in the book what actually happened and what factors she thinks hurt her. that hurt her. we knew in realtime that it was -- that he was hurting her. it's also true that once the primary was over, he did everything he could to help her, but a lot of damage was done, and that's a fact. i don't think that it is bad for our party to have this reckoning even if public and have this reckoning in the fall of 2017. there are -- i think that our party is eventually going to be able to come back together. i think it's healthy that we have policy differences and we debate them out in public. the republicans have enormous problems and they're too weak to even confront them and enormous differences, and i think that we can get through -- by the time we get to '18, be in an even stronger position than we are today. >> jennifer palmeri, thank yo

different competing plans. senator bernie sanders released his medicare for all single payer plan yesterday. he says it has the support of 17 senate democrats many of whom are thought to be early contenders, by the way, for the party's presidential nomination in 2020 and many of them standing behind sanders for yesterday's announcement. >>> on the republican side is another plan. this one proposed by lindsey graham and bill cassidy. it turns obamacare tax credits into grants for states. >> if you believe repealing and replacing obamacare is a good idea, this is your best and only chance to make it happen. because everything else has failed except this approach which will work if we get behind it. if you want a single payer health care system, this is your worst nightmare. bernie, this ends your dream of a single payer health care system for america. >> to my republican colleagues, please don't lecture us on health care. in the last few months, you, the republican party, have shown the american people what you stand for when you voted for legislation that would throw up to 32 milli

, argued with bernie sanders because he argues there should be a, more of a government-run healthcare system rather than expanding obamacare. now he has this new plan out to expand medicare, cover more people in the direction of single payer, and dozens of democrats are behind it. are they making a mistake? >> no, it's an aspirational goal, i believe in universal healthcare coverage that is affordable and high quality. there are a number of ways to get there. i think some are more likely than others. during the primary campaign, i did defend the affordable care act because for the first time in our history we had 90% of americans covered, and as i said over and over again, it's a lot easier to get from 90 to 100% than ripping it up and starting all over again. but as someone who's worked on healthcare, to try to get to universal coverage for 25 years, it matters how much it costs, it matters what people feel about giving up what they already have, and half of america gets healthcare from their employers, it matters what kind of standards are going to be expected in whatever

tonight, the exclusive republican town hall. bernie sanders will be with you, and amy klobuchar on the other side. the stakes have changed a bit, but still incredibly high for them in this town hall. >> incredibly high. at the end of the day, whether it's this particular bill, the nuts and bolts of this bill that is before republicans right now or something different. the question of what to do about obama care, whether or not to try to fix it, whether or not to repeal and replace it is a very hot topic and is going to continue to be especially as we go into the fall. people are going to be enrolling into their policies. there is likely to be good news and bad news for patients out there the market still has a lot of stretching and has some problems that is what we're going to hear tonight. there's going to be continued debate within each party on how to address this particularly the democratic party, you see a lot of pull to the left led by the person we're going to see tonight, for this medicare for all, single payer. >> thank you very much. i want to go to a democratic senator,

inhumane to remove them. thank you both so much. on monday night, a spesh event here. bernie sanders and amy bloesh char debating lindsey graham and bill cassidy. next, the russian billionaire close to putin responded to the report he was offered private briefings by the former chairman, paul manafort. >>> and americans reeling from maria, confronting dire danger. a warning tonight of a massive dam fail. ♪ "zorba the greek" by mikis theodorakis ♪ ♪ the all-new volkswagen tiguan with available pedestrian monitoring. the new king of the concrete jungle. throughout history, the one meal when we come together, break bread, share our day and connect as a family.

kind of outrages. the bernie sanders, $32 trillion health care plan with her 100 million people often employ provided health insurance and this, a pretty wonky, reasonable switch to the states for running health care, as equally extreme. that's nonsense. >> bret: here is secretary of health and human services price today on the bill what i think senator graham and senator cassidy have done is put on the table in positive form of proposal that would allow states greater flex ability and more resources to be able to care for the population. i -- it's something i think would be, ought to be strongly supported and would do a remarkable, make a remarkable improvement in the individual small group market. >> bret: susan, the democrats are mobilized. chuck schumer, kamala harris. interestingly, the arizona governor came out in support of this and that's a big factor on john mccain's vote. >> john mccain at said he wanted deal with the governor thought. that would be a factor. after the governor said he supported the bill, john mccain said he had questions. he wanted regular order. he didn't

didn't hear marco rubio or ted cruz or bernie sanders asked that question, as though there was something hidden or, or, or so unusual about a woman stepping forward and saying, you know, "i think i could be a good president, i hope you'll support me." so, i do believe, and in this chapter called "on being a woman in politics," that we have to come to grips with the endemic sexism and misogyny. of course, it's not just in politics. it's in business. we've seen a lot of that coming out of silicon valley, and it's in the media, it's in culture. we know that. but in politics in particular, where now some of my former colleagues and friends in the senate are being attacked and they're being attacked in very sexist ways. you know, elizabeth warren told to, you know, sit down and basically shut up, don't persist. kamala harris being attacked. kirsten gillibrand talks about being manhandled by fellow members of congress in the gym. you know, i want to blow this up so that people have to confront it. and then maybe whoever comes next won't have to face it as much. >> woodruff: the trump campaign.

entitled "what happened." trump happened. it was her former competitor bernie sanders who "paved the way for then candidate donald trump to give the nickname crooked hillary." president obama urged me to grit my teeth and lay off part burning as much as i could. i felt like i was in a straitjacket. here with reaction, tomi lahren. dr. gina loudon. jessica tarlov. does she ever blame hillary? when would she ever blame hillary for being a horrible candidate that is corrupt? >> she's like a sit there and say hey, she's a horrible candidate but she's talked about some of her weaknesses as a candidate. >> sean: she blames, tomi, everybody but herself. >> of course she did. it's important to remember that she had to get help from the dnc just to beat bernie. now she wants to blame bernie. the list of people that she has yet to blame is probably a shorter list than the one she's already using to blame everyone and their mother for her loss. hillary, what happened? you happened you happened. >> sean: ouch. >> it's more than what -- it's important to discuss the dynamic within the democratic

this. one, last week you had bernie sanders and 12 other democrats come out for a health care system and it woke up republicans that say hey, if we don't fix this thing because we know obamacare is falling apart. and next year on top of the 50 and 60 and 70% increase. obamacare is unsustainable. republicans are racing to the deadline to get this passed. let one other point. i worked with the clinton administration when we did welfare reform. and we did this we don't know how to deal with the problem of welfare and controlling costs. let's turn it back to the states and let virginia and texas come up with solutions to health care that provide high quality, make it affordable. because the problem is people can't afford obamacare. it's really bankrupting a lot of families. >> that's listening to senator graham. and i want to see what you respond. he was saying why wouldn't you want your state representatives that wants the same kind of solid medical care. why wouldn't you want your state to decide this instead of washington? how would you respond to that? >> first of all, obamaca

bernie sanders. pelosi says while she has supported the idea of single-payer health care, she's focused right now on saving obamacare. pelosi disputes the idea that the single-payer issue has become a litmus test for democrats. sanders' bill would expand medicare to cover all americans. a judge in maryland has ordered the state to investigate three lawyers accused of deleting thousands of hillary clinton's emails. a complaint against three people accusing them of destroying evidence. a lawyer for the maryland bar called the complaint frivolous but the judge disagreed. alabama senator luther strange facing a much tougher than expected primary fight in his bid to hang onto ct was given when jeff sessions became attorney general. correspondent doug mckelway tells us a famously independent-minded judges giving the senator hard time. >> in a political year that's blown up conventional wisdom, the special election to fill the alabama senate seat vacated by jeff sessions may further upend the status quo. in an august g.o.p. primary, controversial former choi chief justice roy moore bes

? >> she's mad at bernie sanders because she says his attacks on her in the primaries gave trump a way to attack her as crooked hillary and she blames comey and that october 28 statement with finding new e-mails with costing her the election. >> bernie is not retired. bernie sanders i think could well run. i don't care how old he is. he's hitting all of the states, moving around. she's got his juice still. and she's now -- you think she is out of the running. you think he's basically decided i've tried it, it's over. >> she says, she told me i'm not going to run for office again. and this is not the book she would have written if he was going to run for office again. i believe she's not going to run for office again but i do think she wants to stay engaged in politics and she's going to be a critic of bernie sanders going guard. >> she's a moderate, too hawkish for me. but on other issues i'm sort of back and forth on free trade sometimes. but i think she's a free trader, a bit of a hawk, certainly a moderate like her husband, bill clinton. i think she was for nafta. a long record here, p

time, my republican colleagues, from joe manson to bernie sanders will do this again. or maybe others will join in given that republican governors of governor kasich of ohio and governor walker in alaska have come out strongly against this bill. >> thank you so much, amy klobuchar joining us from minnesota -- oh, from d.c. pardon me, he thought you were back in minnesota. chris is here with search and rescue. chris, i think some of your colleagues are deployed in puerto rico. >> i have eight people with me on my team. we've been here since hurricane irma and we're in the process of doing some rescue efforts here in puerto rico and hopefully st. croix. >> you also have a lot of experience with earthquake rescue. what is the challenge now for your colleagues and the mexican teams in mexico city around that elementary school? >> yeah, you know, we don't have much availability of that here. we do know there was an earthquake and some other teams went there. we don't have much availability on that now. >> the fact is you don't have -- the power is out, cell towers are out. generally

liberal and one conservative. the liberal one presented by vermont senator bernie sanders is essentially a medicare for all type plan. >> today we begin the long and difficult struggle to end the international disgrace of the united states, our great nation, being the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all of our peopl people. >> the republican plan would take federal health care dollars in dual them out to the states. they are selling it as a very conservative plan. >> if you want a single-payer health care system, this is your worst nightmare. bernie, this ends your dream of a single-payer health care system. >> senator graham taunting senator sanders a bit. bottom line, republicans will see if they can get 50 votes to try to pass the grama proposal by the end of the month. trace. >> trace: we shall see. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel live on capitol hill. thank you. while president trump turning to democrats to help pass his agenda, the president meeting with house lawmakers from both sides this afternoon. and tonight look who's com

privilege. >> bernie sanders got a lot of applause for that, but two weeks ago, bernie sanders had exactly zero co-sponsors in the senate for his single-payer health care bill, medicare for all. and then california senator kamala harris announced she would co-sponsor the bill and so suddenly the loneliest piece of legislation in the senate had a co-sponsor, a first co-sponsor. but kamala harris is not just any co-sponsor, and so then elizabeth warren came onboard. now we begin to notice anything here? they are both likely democratic party presidential candidates. yesterday, another potential presidential candidate became a co-sponsor, senator cory booker, and then today senator kirsten gillibrand became a co-sponsor. and at 6:30 p.m. this evening, senator al franken became a co-sponsor of medicare for all. any one of those senators could be the party's nominee for president or vice president the next time. and it's not just the likely presidential candidates now who are joining bernie sanders' bill, he now has a total of 13 co-sponsors including senators who are very unlikely to run for pr

democratic senators stood wi vermont senator bernie sanders as co-sponsors of his bill for a government-run single payer >> we say the function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care to all in a cost effective way, and not to continue a system which allows insurance companies and drug companies to make hundreds of billions of dollars in profits each year. >> the proposal would be phased in over four years. in the first year, the eligibility age would be lowered to 55 and include all children under 18. in the second year, 45-year-olds would be eligible. in the third year, 35. by the fourth year, senator sanders says, everyone would be covered by what he calls medicare for all. >> but what would expanding medicare for all look like? how much would it cost? and who would pay how much? our guest is the health care policy analyst at capital street. welcome, good to have you with us. i'm going to ask you a simple question, not about political practicality w set that aside. is this a practical idea, single payer medicare for all? >> if it were an idea that came

cassidy of louisiana positioned for nearly decades. bernie sanders and from minnesota amy klobuchar. >> senators you will get one minute and 15 seconds to answer questions from us or the audience. 30 seconds for responses and rebuttals, and timing lights will guide you. >> we have an audience made up of americans on all sides of this issue tonight with the congress at a cross roads once again. their questions may be more important than ever. where should we go from here? let's again with an opening statement from senator lindsey graham. >> thank you for coming tonight. where do we go from here determines about who we want to be as a nation. i want to provide high-quality health care for every american, including my family and yours, but we got to find way to make it so without bankrupting the country. when i was 21, my mom died of hodgkin's disease. 15 months later my dad died. we're all one car wreck away from needing somebody's help. i'm here tonight because obamacare is failing. we wouldn't be having this show if it was working. in my state we had a 31% premium increase we're dow

senator, finally a health care question. you have become the first co-sponsor on bernie sanders medicare for all single payer bill. people took notice of that everywhere including in local media in california that cover you. and one of the reasons there's a lot of interest is that bernie sanders was very successful as a presidential candidate in pulling in certainly on the left side of the democratic party, people begin to wonder with that move joining bernie sanders' bill, does that mean you might follow in bernie sanders' steps as a presidential candidate? >> the reason i'm supporting medicare for all is pretty basic, which is that it's i believe the moral and ethical right thing to do, and to do otherwise means to have a system where we're just not being smart, where we are not maximizing our ability to make sure that every american, every person has access to health care. let's just look at the public health model that tells us well, you want to deal with epidemics, the best way is prevention first. emergency room, it's too late and too expensive. medicare for all as a goal, we'll be

. >> governor, there's a deadline, do you believe someone like bernie sanders who says i want a single payer system helped galvanize republicans to get something done so they would never see something, at least not in the near future like what bernie sanders was doing? >> no, i don't -- i think they've been looking and certainly senator cassidy and senator graham have been talking about this for a number of months. maybe that was a little stimulus, but i think their focus has been to get a complete repeal and then replace it with something, we'll work out details later, that's not the way good government works. we should all agree we want to strengthen the health care system in america. that's what we're talking about here. >> governor, last question, shouldn't be too much of a curveball for you, did you end up going to see fish at -- >> i did not get there. >> i'm not surprised. my schedule is always a little convolut convoluted. >> bummer, you missed out. thank you very much for joining us, colorado governor john hickenlooper, appreciate it. >> and it's just an hour -- after the half hour

joe biden and bernie sanders among others. chief white house correspondent james rosen takes a look at what we know about what happened and reaction to it. >> with her third memoir entitled "what happened" hillary clinton's account of her life story runs 1,709 pages and includes stinging criticisms of senator bernie sanders. his attack caused lasting damage, clinton writes. paving the way for trump's crooked hillary campaign. he got into disrupt the democratic party. >> and some excerpts, secretary clinton take some responsibility for the decisions of the campaign. the thinking that went into them and how do we learn from that? >> mrs. clinton says president obama urged her to grit my teeth and lay off bernie as much as i could. i felt like i was in a straitjacket. as for former vice president biden, he proffered his own account. >> what happened was this is the first campaign i can recall where my party did not talk about what it always stood for. that is how to maintain a burgeoning middle class. >> i find this fairly remarkable, counters clinton, considering joe himself campaigne

bernie sanders would be sitting in the oval office right now. he pushed them during the campaign. he didn't make it through the primary. he didn't -- i think that's a pretty clear indication of what america wants to see, and it's not a single payor system. >> i'd like to ask -- >> i'm come back. >> thank you. go ahead. >> two quick questions on tax reform. there are some democrats who are confused if the president was serious about creating a bipartisan tax plan, their thinking is that the president would also be meeting with ranking members, with the minority members on ways and means and on the finance committee in advance of the disclosure of the consensus outline that's going to come out at the end of september. can you describe the president's view about how to create a bipartisan tax plan and does he want to get ideas from democrats or does he just want democrats to buy into the plan that bread and hatch will reveal? >> i think just by mere fact that he's been sitting down both yesterday and today with multiple members of the democratic party shows that he wants to have that co

wicky leeks drops. if anyone cited bernie sanders got a raw deal that was by the dnc leaks which was russian hacking. so all the fuel comes back to the russian hand of hacking. in terms of the micro targeting and the companies that think they can do the psycho graphic stuff. i equate it to digital snake oil. i worked with them in counter terrorism space, and they could never really deliver on those things. >> if a polt ster gets one of these elections right he can dine out on it for three years, and then the next year he blows it and he's nobody's expert. trump looks like the genius, it looks like he got some help. we'll see if that's true the next time he runs for reelection if he still has the russian help. >>> up next, president trump may have been 3,000 miles away but he took center stage at the emmy's. it's a politically charged evening, but one that celebrated women and diversity. this is "hardball" where the action is. helping keep shoppers safe. this is a financial transaction secure from hacks and threats others can't see. this is a skyscraper whose elevators use iot dat

is a bipartisan approach, but senator bernie sanders, a number of democratic colleagues came out in favor of a medicare expansion bill that really didn't have the earmarks of bipartisanship. isn't the sanders' proposal that many of your democratic colleagues signed on to, that is not a bipartisan approach. so how does that move you in the direction of something that's going to win approval? >> well, let me tell you, judy, about bernie sanders' proposal. he put an idea out on the table, yes, with democratic co-sponsors. he didn't say vote immediately. he didn't say i want to vote before the c.b.o. scores it. bernie's a member of the health committee with me. he's putting an idea on the table. graham-cassidy's an idea on the table. bernie's got one on the table. i'd like a publicly offered insurance policy any individual could buy if they chose, more choices than less, that's on the table. first, stabl stabilize the marka biparent way and once stabilized, we can, with care and deliberation that is warranted given the seriousness of health and healthcare to regular people, we can consi
