leader who came down to talk to the senator and a few other democrats who are leaning in. angus king of maine leaning in and missed senator schumer's conversation. on the left hand side of the screen, you have the senator from texas talking to the senator from wyoming and corker of tennessee making a point. this is all we have seen thus far. it is not an expression of opinion for people in our line of work to call a little tension to the disgust with what we are seeing. >> it's crazy. why does a governing body of legislature need to do this. find the bill you want, get to it the way you are supposed to get to it, arrange to have the votes for it and have a vote. they have completely gone backwards with this. it sounds like they spent the better part of the day figuring out what they can get votes for. >> around lunchtime they started. >> what will you vote for. if you do this, you lose this. this is the wildebeest of legislation. it's parts of all sorts of things that will satisfy some that it is an obamacare repeal and not satisfy others. it takes certaina things away from obamacare

chuck schumer to look ahead and talk about what he hopes will happen including working with senate republicans on a number of pending issues. this is about 15 minutes. senator schumer: good morning, everybody. we're going to have to be a little quick here. there's no flight because of the weather, i've got a get a noon amtrak which we want to keep funded. that's not why i called you here today. this is not an amtrak discussion. we will have those. last night was an amazing moment. the credit goes to a lot of people but at the top of the list are the three who showed amazing courage to resist the pressure and do what's good for the country. john mccain at the top of the list. he and i have been friends for a very long time. ever since the gang of eight, which we put together. and i have not seen a senator who speaks truth to power as strongly, as well, and as frequently as john mccain. the very same courage he showed as a naval aviator in vietnam. tissue in vietnam, he showed last night and has shown time and time again. he's just a wonderful man. i treasure his friendship and just

session at 4:00 eastern, live coverage here on c-span. and on the senate side of the capitol today, majority leader mitch mcconnell said they'll stay in session for the first two weeks of august. senator mcconnell and other republican senators spoke about that decision this afternoon ith reporters. senator mcconnell: well, good afternoon, everyone. the news of the day is that as i think you already know will be on health care next week. we'll be laying out a revised version of the repeal and replace effort. the text of that on thursday morning. we hope to have a c.b.o. score by the beginning of the week and a motion to proceed to that bill next week. also, due to this unprecedented level of obstruction that we've been experiencing -- for example, you may have noticed, we had to get cloture yesterday on a district judge in idaho. think of the -- as of june 28 , there were 178 presidential nominations up here and only 46 confirmed. we're getting zero cooperation on the personnel part of the senate's portfolio which is confirming nominations. therefore, we will be in session the first

. >> we will leave this hearing at this point. you can see the rest of it at c-span.org. the senate about the gavilan to work on the highest job in the defense department, boeing executive patrick shanahan has been nominated for deputy defense secretary. senators will vote at 5:30 eastern on advancing the confirmation process. also pending is the republican care law replacement, mitch o'connell announcing over the weekend to date on the measure will be delayed now senator mccain recovers from surgery. enter mcconnell may update us at the start of the session live coverage of the senate . >> the chaplain: let us pray. eternal spirit, today teach our lawmakers to do things your way, embracing your precepts and walking in your path. lord, remind them that the road less traveled usually leads to life and few find it. as our senators receive guidance from you and follow your leading, replace anxiety with calm, confusion with clarity, and despair with hope. use these legislatures to transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. may your peace guard their hearts. guide them to find workable s

panel. senator nelson wants to make an opener and we will do that after we recognize senator roberts, the senior senator from kansas who is here and will open things up this morning. senator roberts? sen. roberts: thank you. thank you ranking member nelson. and fellow senators, senator moran. and members of the committee. it is a great privilege for me to introduce a friend, ajit pai , for his reappointment to the federal commission. it is not often i find myself on the side, but i have to imagine that on occasions such as this i must be calmer than you are. [laughter] an. roberts: that is sort of inside story. my staff wrote that. i have no idea what it means. [laughter] >> you look really nervous. sen. roberts: it is hard to believe more than five years have already passed since we introduced ajit for his first confirmation hearing to serve at the fcc. at that hearing in 2011i highlighted his impressive professional background, both in government and in the private sector, a background that made clear he was a talented man capable of leadership. today having served as commissioner

unanimous consent that the senate recess until 2:15 p.m. today for the weekly conference meetings. the presiding officer: the senate is in a quorum call. a senator: i would ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. fischer: thank you, mr. president. i ask consent that the senate recess until 2:15 p.m. today for the weekly conference meetings. the presiding officer: is there any objection? without objection. the senate will stand in recess the senate will stand in recess open up for debate. >> host: year is where things stand. the senate came in at noon eastern today. they have recessed the republicans and democrats going to weekly party meetings. we expect them to come back at 2:10 p.m. eastern. the timing of the vote getting a little more clarity. the bout will be on a motion to proceed whether to begin debate on health care legislation. timing information here from our capitol hill producer craig kaplan talking about mitch mcconnell's comments rather appeared his intention is to do whatever it takes, no matter how small to get the house

, republican and democrat and perhaps it would be convenient for us to hear from senator warner. you are recognized, senator warner. senator warner: thank you mr. chairman. senator reid, and members of the others.e and it is very humbling for me to appear here and on behalf of this distinguished nominee. if i ever reflect on this great committee, i just think about the marvelous traditions it has established for the entirety of the senate throughout its long existence. i say to the new members of the committee, i wish you well. i am confident as you pursue you careers in life that will always look back on your membership in this committee as a very special privilege. because after all, the function of this committee is to provide care to the men and women in the armed forces of the united , together with their families. i know the chairman expects me to be brief and i will be. but i would like to say that on -- mrs.is mr. spencer, spencer, his lovely wife and they will be a magnificent team is my humble judgment. to serve america and the men and women of the armed forces, most marinelarl

proud to be joined by senators klobuchar and heinrich. it is getting clearer and clearer senate republicans will not be able to pass their bill or a backup plan to repeal without replacement. we democrats believe that the time has finally come for our republican colleagues to take us up on our offer of working together to improve the health care system rather than sabotage it. evidently president trump is proposing a different path. he wants to throw up his hands, rather than roll up his sleeves, to work with us and solve the problem. let's be very clear about what the president is proposing and where his path would lead. the president would not be "living obamacare -- letting obamacare collapsed." he is actively, actively trying to undermine the health care system in this country using millions of americans as political pawns in a cynical game. by continuing to deny the insurance market their certainty they need to function, the president is playing a dangerous game with the health care of this country. so our republican colleagues here in the senate have a choice to make. they

when we don't even have a base bill to amend? so this is, i suck -- i hope i'm wrong. i hope senator daines has seen the light, but i suspect not, and i suspect it's just a political game. but i do hope, by the way, at some point within this debate, if we can, if not, certainly in the near future, to, in fact, be introducing a medicare for all single payer program. it will be somewhat different than my friend john conyers' bill in the house, but what it will do is say that in america, if you are rich or if you are poor, if you are a man, woman, and child, yes, you are entitled to health care as a human right and not a privilege. mr. president, as you may or may not know, our current health care system is the most expensive bureaucratic and wasteful system in the entire world. and while the health care industry makes hundreds of billions of dollars a years in profit, and in many ways what our health care system is about is not about providing quality care to all of us, but to seeing how the insurance companies and drug companies can rip us off. the truth is that even today we have som

>> there are going to be a great many americans who tonight feel a sense of betrayal. >> senator john mccain voted no. he has made his career out of being a maverick. >> this is a moment that he understands is going to help cement that. >> got to have republicans and democrats sit down together and come up with a bill that gets a majority in both houses. >> we really do have to work together. this has been one of the least productive legislative periods in the history of the united states of america. >> a lot of finger-pointing. everybody is going to blame somebody else. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> we begin with breaking news. stunning defeat and high drama in the senate. senator john mccain casting the decisive no vote that ended the republican promise and seven years of effort to repeal obamacare. the maverick senator giving the measure a thumbs down, as you are about to see on your screen, and it just was the most dramatic reaction and moment there on the floor. >> literally did say no and give a thumbs down, john mccain. president trump blast

. >>> there's been enough talk and no action. now is the time for action. >> the senate is ready to vote on health care. what health care are they voting on? well, no one seems to know. will john mccain's return make a difference? >>> donald trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign, suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted for him. >> rare public remarks from jared kushner. he is rebuking critics as he prepares for a second day of questioning about his russia meetings. >>> a scout is trustworthy, loyal. we could use some more loyalty, i will tell you that. >> was the president taking a shot at his own attorney general? drawing questions about whether the president wants jeff sessions to stay on the job. he was certainly a notable absence at that jamboree last night. >> epic. >> epic, that is an interesting description. it was -- eyebrow raising, a lot of former scouts outraged. good morning, welcome to "early start." i'm dominican republic -- i'm dave briggs. >> i'm christine romans. 4:00 a.m. in the east. more on what the president ad-libbed in the script. a lot of the o

trouble for him and his republican colleagues in the senate. let me read it again, 2014 speech restoring the senate. author, mitch mcconnell. when the senate is allowed it to work the way it was designed to, it arrives that result acceptable to people all along the political spectrum but if it is an assembly line for one party's partisan legislative agenda, it creates instability and strife rather than good, stable loss. leader mcconnell, i couldn't agree more. it's time to start over on healthcare. abandon the idea of cutting medicaid to give a tax break to the wealthy, abandoned this new repeal in run and use the regular order to arrive at a result acceptable to people all along the political spectrum, as a leader mcconnell once said. i daresay it would create a much better result for the american people as well. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. mr. prince president, the majority leader says he will move forward this week with about on a straight repeal of the affordable care act in its entirety. i don't believe that a majority of senators are willing to support a reckless

republican senators opposing the replacement plan the president is now considering an immediate repeal and replacement later. >> every republican in the u.s. senate except for one has already voted for repeal in the past, let's do that first. >> and i hope to cope bills, boom, you get it done in 5 minutes. the president seems open and interested in the ideal. >> john: we will discuss what congress can do to repeal obamacare and get a replacement past with republican senator rand paul and democratic senator joe manchin. senators paul and manchin only on "fox news sunday." plus, the president shifts focus off of the agenda creating in the media firestorm attacking cable news host. we will ask our sunday panel in the president's tweets are hurting his agenda. all right now on "fox news sunday" ." and hello again from fox news in washington. senate republicans have yet to bring their obamacare replacement care to know mike to the floor for about some suggest separating repeal and replacement as two different bills. now a group of senators is calling on leader mcconnell to shorten or altoge

leaders, the senator from tennessee and the senator from washington. the senator from utah, the senator from oregon. they have worked well together in the past. and they can work well together in the future. there are suggestions that we are interested in, that come from members on the other side of the aisle -- the senator from maine, the senator from louisiana. so let's turn the page and work together to improve our health care system, and let's turn the page in another way. all of us were so inspired by the speech and the life of the senator from arizona, and he asked us to go back to regular order, to bring back the senate that some of us who have been here a while remember. maybe this can be a moment where we start doing that. both sides will have to give. the blame hardly falls on one side or the other. but if we can take this moment, a solemn moment, and start working this body the way it had always worked until the last decade or so, with both sides to blame for the deterioration, we will do a better job for our country, a better job for this body, a better job for ourse

by senator schumer, and has been the focus of a ton of attention from other republicans in the room, including the vice president. he occasionally appears on the top of your screen here as the senate well picture change from time to time. sort of the basis of those cameras kind of flips around. keep an eye on john mccain. he has been sitting side by side with his good friend lindsey graham for much of this, and getting a lot of attention from republican leaders. if john mccain decides not to vote for this bill, this bill will not move forward. mccain was one of several senators to give a press conference today. he was one of the most outspoken people who said i don't want this bill to become law. but he was potentially willing to vote for it if he had assurances he was comfortable with. that speaker ryan would take to it conference, as you said, this kind of christmas tree that they could then dress back up. earlier in the night, he told reporters he wasn't satisfied by what he had heard from speaker ryan. and brian, he stopped talking about it. i ran into him in a hallway i don't k

here on several major events. moments from now, the senate will hold this crucial vote on health care to see whether they will begin debate on some version. i say that on purpose, some version of the republican health care plan, a bill that's been really mysterious all the way up until now. you know senator john mccain has been away, undergone surgery, will be speaking live, we'll be back in washington speaking live on the senate floor, returning since being diagnosed with brain cancer just a couple of days ago so that's significant. we'll take that live. of course we're also watching the president, who is set to give this news conference as he intensifies his own attacks against his own attorney general, jeff sessions. support among republicans for the a.g. is growing and fast, so we have those comments for you. but first, let's talk about the u.s. senate set to vote on whether to move forward on debate for this republican health care bill. it is safe to say this is one of those votes we have absolutely no idea how it will turn out. full disclosure. several senators, they're still un

senate commerce committee holding a confirmation hearing for nominees to the federal communications commission. democratic nominee jessica rosenworcel, and republican nominee ajit pai, currently serving on the f.c.c. mr. pai is the current chairman and both have been nated for another term. mr. pai: i visited libraries in sioux falls, south dakota, i have seen how it's working and we want to extend that. mr. markey: you will commit to us you will preserve to the success of this bipartisan program and not decrease its funding level? problematic changes -- mr. pai: we have not made any decisions on that score. we're trying to make sure the program works. mr. markey: you won't make a commitment you won't reduce the funding? mr. pai: we're studying ways to improve -- mr. markey: ms. rosenworcel, will you do that? ms. rosenworcel: it is a successful one and i believe the changes put in place in 2015 have been successful. they have reached schools and students in every state across this country. mr. markey: mr. carr, will you commit you won't reduce the funding? mr. carr: i have an open m

suffering under obamacare. they did everything they could to be prevent the senate from providing a better way forward, including such things as reading amendments for endless amounts of time, such things as holding up nominations for key positions in the administration because they were unhappy that we were trying to find a way to something better than obamacare. so i expect that they are pretty satisfied tonight. i regret to say that they succeeded in that effort. so now i think it's appropriate to ask what are their ideas. it would be interesting to see what they suggest as the way forward. for myself, i can say and i think i'm pretty safe in saying for people on this side of the aisle that bailing out insurance companies, bailing out insurance companies with no thought of any kind of reform is not something i want to be part of. and i suspect that not many folks over here are interested in that. but it will be interesting to see what they have in mind. quadrupling down on the failures of obamacare with a single-payer system. we had that vote a little earlier, thanks to the senat

done. plus, the president's son-in-law, jared kushner meeting with the senate intelligence committee staffers telling them he didn't collude with russia. >> i had no improper contacts. i have not relied on russian funds for my businesses. and i have been fully transparent in providing information. >> he explains the role with the sit-down meeting with the russian lawyer. a lot of news today. let's get to it. >> first from the news deck this monday afternoon, president trump just minutes away from delivering a statement on healthcare. the president set to speak at the white house alongside people are calling victims of obamacare. the white house says president trump will urge republicans to vote to bring the senate healthcare bill to the floor for debate. gop support for the measure collapsed a week ago now and president trump has been lashing out at republicans for failing to push the bill forward. today he tweeted, republicans have the last chance to do repeal and replace. if the republicans don't repeal and replace, the repercussions will be greater than any of them understand. but

don't think that's the right model for us. >> election infrastructure, senator sasse raised this a bit. when you look at what happened and what my happen going forward, one of the jobs of the fbi is to cooperate with the board of elections and assist with cyber attacks. and i hope you will help us prepare going into this next election. >> i think the integrity of our elections are very much who we are. it's what makes us a free and independent country. and the fbi has a huge role in that. >> in a broader fashion, russia has vast criminal networks that it uses to sew instability. at the end of last year, we heard about this in baltics, ukraine and georgia. and a lot of times they're using shell companies, as are other entities, half of all homes in the u.s. worth $5 million being used by shell companies. do you think the fbi should use it's existing authority in requiring more transparency in luxury real estate transactions. i think you said at the beginning that you're more likely to find a terrorist not with his finger on a bomb, but with his hands on a check. >> senator, i'm not

decades and i know well how you were determined, senator, to get things done and represent your people well. so, welcome to the committee and you may proceed. >> thank you very much, chairman grassley and senator feinstein and senator hatch and senator leahy and all the members of the judiciary committee. it's a great honor to appear before this committee today for the purpose of introducing christopher wray, the president's nominee to be the director of. strongly recommending him to be confirmed of attorney general. it is a challenging time for the department of justice as well as the fbi. i described judge bell then as a man noted for his quick mind, his candor, his integrity and his independence. years later in may of 2003, judge bell contacted me, i was out of the senate at that stage. praising chris wray as a rising star and he suggested i recommend him to my former senate colleagues as a terrific choice to be confirmed tahead t the criminal division of the department of justice. since that time i followed chris' career in and out of government and i satisfied myself fully that my

debating on what citizensken to protect at home and abroad. >> senator wong. >> thank you, mr. president. since senator last had to ask ministers question, there have been further horrific terror attacks around the world. these include attacks in manchester, london, kabul. the government is working to assist australians impacted by these attacks. >> thank you very much indeed, senator wong, for a very timely and important question. and of course i'm sure i speak on behalf of all members of this chamber in expressing our horror and outrage at the terrorist attacks that have occurred since the senate last met and in particular our grief at the news that australians have been among the victims both here in melbourne last week and overseas. it is a reminder to us that this is not a problem that exists on the other side of the world. it's not a problem that is not our problem. it is a problem that reaches out both in a familiar and hospitable city like london or in our own suburban streets to threaten and take the lives of australians. now, senator wong, i want to thank you and the australian

democrats also came to the senate floor to discuss their opposition to proposed changes to the federal health care law. every democrat in the senate along with two independent and two republicans that are against advancing the bill. now three of those democrats durbin sherrod brown and brian schatz. this is 45 minutes. >> history was made on the flooy of the senate chamber today. i don't think it's ever happeneo before. think about this. 50 out of 100 senators came to the floor with the vice president of the united states and voted to begin debate on a bill they have never seen, a bill they have never seenhe because we don't know what the republicans are going to offer is the alternative to the affordable care act. there has been a lot of different versions. technically the one that is before us now is the version that passed the house of representatives but i think theh republican leader senator mcconnell note from the beginning that has no chance whatsoever. so many republicans have taken a look at what the house passed and said we can't vote for that. you've got to give us s

. trish: i will, a lot going on everyone. moments away from a crucial vote in the senate. senators are going to be deciding if they will debate the health care bill, a procedural measure and have to figure out whether or not they are ready and willing and able to debate it? all of this as we watch the dow and the s&p snap a three-day losing streak and the dow powering to new highs, up 129 points, 21,642. i am trish regan, welcome to the "the intelligence report" on this very important day. we are waiting on senate republicans. the president out tweeting to them right now, saying big day for health care, after seven years of talking we will soon see whether or not republicans are willing to step up to the plate? indeed we will. will they or won't they? are they going to fulfill their promise to repeal and replace obamacare, and what happens if this vote actually fails? we're going to ask georgia congressman ferguson and president trump blasting the left's efforts to take him down, the president asking why no one is investigating hillary clinton's e-mails and alleged ties to russia. all

the senate chamber today. i don't think it's ever happened before. think about this. 50 out of 100 senators came to the floor with the vice president of the united states and voted to begin debate on a bill they've never seen. a bill they've never seen, because we don't know what the republicans are going to offer as the alternative to the affordable care act. there's been a lot of different versions. tech anythingly, the one -- technically, the one that's before us is the version that passed the house of representatives, but i think the republican leader, senator mcconnell, knows from the beginning that has no chance whatsoever. so many republicans have taken a look at what the house passed and said, we can't vote for that. you've got to give us something different. the problem that the senate republicans ran into is they couldn't come up with anything better. they tried. they wrote several different versions, and every time they would write a version of the new affordable care act, it got worse, worse for the american people. here's what i mean. under the one proposal from the re

senator's behavior. the vote they took a few moments ago, the vote they took tonight, 60-vote threshold on that. they knew they wouldn't get anywhere near 60 votes. that was a free spin as to who voted on it. senator mccain voted yes, voted with mitch mcconnell on that. that is not what it sounded like he was going to do when he gave that moving speech today. so i don't know what we do with that. >> this was a vote to basically override the budget rules on the senate floor to allow them to have proceed a vote on this bill that is the mcconnell bill plus the cruz eedition to the mcconnell deal and the port addition to that. there is the most generous concepts advanced by the republicans. and they lost ten republicans on this vote. >> yeah, and even with the generous provisions, kind of like, i don't know, like being the smartest cable news host. i don't know. not a really tough competition. and it's, even with that, they aren't willing to hold any public hearings to have any public real discussion. they've had fake senate debate time for it. but had no actual debate or discussion on the

vote: the presiding officer: are there any senators in the chamber wishing to vote or change their vote? if not, the yeas are 56, the nays are 39. the motion is approved. the senator from utah. mr. hatch: is if appropriate to make a -- is it aappropriate make a speech at this time? the presiding officer: it is. mr. hatch: thank you, mr. president. president ronald reagan used to say that people are policy. attacking a new president's policies therefore often includes undermining his ability to appoint his or her -- his or her ability a month men and women to lead his administration. the constitution gives to the president the power to appoint executive branch officials. the senate has the power of advice and consent, as a check on that appointment power. in the early months of the obama administration, senate democrats were clear about how we should carry out our role in the appointment process. less than two weeks after president obama took office, the judiciary committee chairman said he wished that the senate could have put the new justice department leadership in place even mor

up over health care. president trump has kept up the pressure on republicans in the senate. once again, tweeting today and i'm quoting him "don't let the american people down." all of this while a now deleted tweet from the white house communications director anthony scaramucci is causing ripples through washington about possible discord inside the white house, with scaramucci seemingly calling outing the white house chief of staff reince priebus for leaks. >> people know my history between me and reince. >> we begin with the in-fighting going on within the trump administration. scaramucci was clearly angry over a political article about his profits from the sale of a hedge fund company when he tweeted last night "in light of the leak of my financial disclosure which is a felony, i will be contacting fbi and the justice department." #swamp and noted, @reince45. that's reince priebus' twitter handle. scaramucci later deleted the tweet denying it was a veiled threat to priebus. let's go to our white house correspondent sara murray. sara, fill us in on all the palace intrigue as it'

. >> senate republicans, this is their chance to keep their promise. over and over again they said repeal and replace, repeal and replace. >> madam president, it means voting to proceed. and that will occur tomorrow. >> the vote is on. this is a fox news alert. i am bret baier in washington. u.s. senate preparing to vote tuesday to at least repeal obamacare. president trump is a lashing out at g.o.p. senators who are wavering, saying it's time to act. the future of a plan to repeal and replace obamacare remains uncertain. this on the same day the president's senior advisor and son-in-law makes a rare statement defending himself before a senate committee on capitol hill and then to reporters outside the white house over his contacts with russia. >> the record and documents i have voluntarily provided will show all of my actions were proper and occurred in the normal course of events of a very unique campaign. >> bret: morand jared kushner's defense today in a few moments. first, the president puts republicans' feet to the fire over the stalled effort to repeal and replace obamacare.

federal level to speed broadband infrastructure and deployment? >> thank you, senator for the question. i think there are a variety of things that can be done some of which have been discussed before this committee including dig one's policies and ensuring that all federal actors use same contracts to facilitate deployment on federal property. furthermore, i think it would be useful for the fcc going forward to contact other federal actors in this country like the department of transportation, the department of the interior, the bureau of indian affairs that have facilities all across the country and see if through a memorandum of understanding we can't reach a commitment that any efforts to deploy on those facilities could be accomplished in a short period of time. with one-third of the nation's lands being federal lands, i think we can set a good example and hopefully export that example to municipalities across the country. >> thank you. chairman pai, the national policy center reports 1.3 million comments were filed in the net neutrality proceeding are from, i should says .3 filed

>>> good evening. thanks for joining us tonight. the senate votes to proceed on debating a health care bill still mired in mystery. jared kushner behind closed doors on capitol hill in the russian investigation. bewie begin with the president's attacks on jeff sessions as well as the acting director of the fbi whom he accused of basically being corrupt. for a man who campaigned on law enforcement, he has a funny way of treating the top law enforcement personnel in the country. today at the white house, the president was asked feld fire his attorney general or trying to make him resign. >> why you're sort of letting him twist in the wind rather than making the call for him? >> i don't think i am doing that. but i am disappointed in the attorney general. he should not have recused himself. almost immediately after he took office. and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me prior to taking office and i would have quite simply picked somebody else. so i think that's a bad thing, not for the president but for the presidency. i think it's unfair to the presidency. and

we just are checking in on that vote that was happening in the united states senate. the republican's first effort tonight to try to repeal the affordable care act. they needed 60 votes. they dpt gidn't get anywhere ne it. they got 43 votes i think in the first effort they took. they didn't get close. they are expecting at least a couple more tries at trying to repeal the affordable care act by tomorrow. one of those may not have a 60-vote threshold. it may have a 50-vote threshold. that may be the best chance they have yet to repeal the affordable care act for millions of mamericans. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening. first of all, congratulations, double congratulations on your two, count them, two, emmy nominations today. >> congratulations on your emmy nomination, lawrence. >> one little one. two, and two at 8 wi:00. great night -- >> it embarrasses me to talk about that stuff. you are much bet are. >> john mccain is now this, i don't know, this mysterious figure. he gave a speech this afternoon that indicated he couldn't vote for anything that mitch mcconnell would bring to

we haven't had hearings about the house bill. we haven't had hearings about the senate proposals. we're being told by not goingav have a hearing, we'll just rush whatever we do to the floorit either on a house proposal, senate proposal or senate repealed. we will completely skipped knowi committee. now mr. president, you know a bit about this committee.on have a doctor on the committee. senator cassidy from louisiana. our chair -- >> we will leave this at this point and go live now to just senator senators have just gaveled in from the party lunches. live coverage now of the senate. mr. hatch: mr. president. the presiding officer: the president pro tempore. mr. hatch: mr. president, the final pieces of obamacare care were signed into law a little over seven years ago. since that time republicans not just in congress, but throughout the country have been united in their opposition to the law and our commitment to repeal it. this hasn't been simply a political or partisan endeavor. we're not just trying to take a notch out of president obama's win column. the simple truth is that o

the floor of the senate even after that defeat, though, opponents of republican efforts to replace obamacare are protesting outside of trump tower in new york this day. a live picture of that demonstration happening right now. let's now go live to kelly o'donnell, let's talk about what has happened over health care, the shake-up at the white house and pulling all those together for us. >> reporter: it's hard to imagine if health care had gone through however bumpy the ride that reince priebus would have been fired or offered his resignation on this particular friday, not that that would've made things easy for him but that would have been meaningful victory and there would have been celebration at the trump white house. the absence of that certainly put additional pressure on the portfolio and the record of reince priebus when it comes to how is he performed as chief-of-staff. he has said publicly that he and the president have talked over the last few weeks about what would a change look like, who might candidates be to succeed him and the chief-of-staff job, how should that unfol
