DONORS. HE'S JUST GOVERNING LIKE YET
ANOTHER BIG GOVERNMENT REPUBLICAN.
>> THAT HE IS. ALL RIGHT.
MAJORITY LEADER MITCH McCONNELL SAYS HE HOPES IT TO PASS THANK
YOU THE VOTE ON HEALTH CARE. AT THE MOMENT FIVE SENATE
REPUBLICANS HAVE SAID THEY JUST CAN'T BACK THE BILL.
SOME CONSERVATIVES ARE CONCERNED IT'S NOT ENOUGH OF A REPEAL OF
OBAMACARE AS WE HEARD JUST A MINUTE AGO.
BUT MODERATES ALSO ARE NOT ONBOARD LIKE NEVADA'S DEAN
HELLER WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT CUTS TO MEDICAID.
HELLER IS UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE STATE HILLARY CLINTON
CARRIED IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND NOW THE PRO-TRUMP
PAC PRIORITIES -- IT'S FUNNY WHEN YOU WATCH SOMEBODY STUMBLE
INTO SOMETHING THEY'RE JUST NO GOOD AT IT.
THEY'RE JUST STUPID, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE A DONKEY ARE TRYING TO
WORK AN iPHONE. THEY'RE GOING TO LAUNCH A $7
MILLION AD BLITZ. HAVE YOU SEEN A DONKEY TRY TO
WORK AN iPHONE? OF COURSE NOT, YOU'RE A YANKEE.
>> IN "SHREK 7." >> EXACTLY.
BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY LAUNCHING A SEVEN-FIGURE AD.
TRUMP. AGAINST REPUBLICAN SENATORS.
>> REALLY CONSTRUCTIVE USE OF RESOURCES.
>> AND IT SENDS A MESSAGE TO ALL THE OTHER REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL
HILL WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, FINE, OKAY.
IS THAT HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY COWBOY?
WE'LL PLAY THAT WAY. BILL CLINTON YOU COULD IMPEACH
HIM ON A THURSDAY AND HE WOULD GO GOLFING WITH YOU ON FRIDAY.
HE KNEW HE WAS ALWAYS GOING TO NEED YOUR VOTE THE NEXT WEEK.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" IS ALSO REPORTING THAT OTHER GROUPS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN UP IN THE AIR FOR A VERY LONG TIME IN NEVADA WITH
ADS LIKE THESE. >> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED.
YOU'RE BOTH OVER 50? >> YES.
>> OKAY, THAT WILL COST YOU. >> WHY?
>> THE NEW HEALTH CARE BILL IN CONGRESS.
IF IT YOU'RE OVER 50 INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN CHARGE YOU FIVE
TIMES MORE. IT'S AN AGE TAX.
>> SENATOR HELLER, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SHE ISN'T THINKING
ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILL IN CONGRESS.
SHE ISN'T THINKING THAT IT WILL FORCE HER TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
FILLING HIS PRESCRIPTIONS OR PAYING THEIR MORTGAGE.
SHE ISN'T THINKING THAT WHEN HER PREMIUMS GO UP THEY'LL LOSE
THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE, AND SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BUT YOU
SHOULD, SENATOR HELLER. >> I HAVE TO TELL YOU, OUR
PARTY, IF THEY PASS THIS HEALTH CARE BILL, THEY'RE GOING TO GET
ROUTED NEXT YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO SEE THIS AROUND
THE CLOCK. >> WHY DO SOMETHING THAT WILL
MAKE PREMIUMS GO UP? I JUST DON'T GET IT.
ACTION FOR THE SAKE OF ACTION EVEN IF IT'S ACTION THAT IS
GOING TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT YOUR PARTY?
>> RIGHT. PREMIUMS WILL GO UP, I MEAN,
EVERYTHING, DEDUCTIBLES ARE WORSE, RATES ARE WORSE,
EVERYTHING GETS MORE DIFFICULT. AGAIN, FOR THE VERY PEOPLE THAT
DONALD TRUMP SAID HE WAS GOING TO HELP OUT.
FOR THE VERY PEOPLE THAT IN LARGE PART HAVE BEEN THE CORE OF
A LOT OF THESE REPUBLICANS' SUPPORT.
THE CORE OF MY SUPPORT. THE, QUOTE, WINE AND CHEESE
REPUBLICANS DIDN'T VOTE FOR ME. IT WAS WORKING CLASS
REPUBLICANS. >> IT GOES BACK TO AN EARLIER
POINT ABOUT THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND MODERATE
REPUBLICANS AND YOU SAY WHAT'S THE BRIDGE HERE?
WHAT'S THE BRIDGE HAS -- THE BRIDGE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH
TAX CUTS, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO CONSTITUENCIES HERE THAT
ARE IN CONFLICT. IN SOME WAYS --
>> THE DONOR CLASS -- >> IF YOU LOOK AT ITS
PARTICULARS IT'S A TAX CUT BILI, WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT THE TWO
VARIOUS CONSTITUENCIES CAN COME TOGETHER.
>> I HAVEN'T TALKED TO A REPUBLICAN WHO SAID IT'S WORTH
IT. >> IT'S A MODEL OF CLARITY
COMPARED TO THIS. >> A UNIFIED PARTY ABOUT HOW THE
GOVERNMENT, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, SHOULD INTERACT WITH
THE HEALTH CARE MARKETS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION, THE CONSERVATIVE VISION OF LOWER COVERAGE.
NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT A VISION.
THE LOUDEST VOICES SAY THIS IS A BAD IDEA.
HIS DEFENSE IS NOT HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT WILL BE.
>> YOU MUST NOT VOTE FOR THE BILL AND WE WILL NOT GET SUPREME
COURT JUSTICES IN THE FUTURE. NO, THAT'S JUST THE OPPOSITE.
IF THEY PASS THESE BILLS, HEN NOBODY LIKES THEN THEY'RE GOING
TO LOSE THE HOUSE AND THEY'RE GOING TO LOSE THE SENATE.
GARLAND WILL BE THE NEXT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
>> THINK ABOUT EVERYTHINGING MARK SAID IS TRUE --
>> WHICH IS FINE WITH MOST AMERICANS, BY THE WAY.
>> ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE, IT'S GOING TO BE ALL OF THAT
CONFUSION, ALL OF THOSE ARGUMENTS NOT BEING MADE SET
AGAINST SOME VERY STARK, VERY LARGE NUMBER THAT'S GOING TO NOT
BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT. COULD BE WORSE MAYBE THAN THE
HOUSE NUMBER, WHICH WAS PRETTY DEVASTATING.
ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, THIS ATOM BOMB WILL GO OFF NOW WITH NO
POSITIVE ARGUMENTS BEING MADE FOR THE BILL.
IT'S BRUTAL. >> YEAH, KASIE HUNT, WHY?
IT'S A QUESTION PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS COMING UP AND ASKING ME
WHY DO THIS NOW? WHY FORCE IT THROUGH?
WHY WRITE IT WITH NO TRANSPARENCY AND THEN TRY TO JAM
IT THROUGH THE SENATE, A BILL THAT'S GOING TO BE WILDLY
UNPOPULAR. >> Reporter: THE CONVENTIONAL
WISDOM COMING OUT OF McCONNELL'S OFFICE SEEMS TO BE THEY FEEL
LIKE IT'S MUCH MORE POLITICALLY WISE TO DO SOMETHING THAN
NOTHING. BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU, JOE, I
DO THINK THAT THERE IS SOMETHING OF A FUNDAMENTAL
MISUNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE ELECTORATE.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP
WON AND EVERYBODY WAS SO SURPRISED.
NOT EVERYBODY ON THIS SHOW BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE VERY
SURPRISED. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS MOVING
WAY TO THE LEFT ON THIS ISSUE. WAY OVER TOWARDS SINGLE PAIR,
WAY FARTHER THAN WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THEY PASSED THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND ALL THESE NEW REPUBLICAN
VOTERS THAT BACKED PRESIDENT TRUMP, THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR
POLICIES LIKE THIS. AND WHILE, YES, TRUMP RAN ON
REPEALING OBAMACARE, HE ALSO PROMISED NOT THE TO TOUCH
MEDICAID, NOT TO TOUCH MEDICARE. THAT'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND
COMPLETELY THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHAT THE PRESIDENT
THINKS OF THIS AND WHERE REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE.
IT JUST DOES NOT SEEM TO ME THIS IS A BILL THAT THIS PRESIDENT
RAN ON IN 2016. >> IT'S NOT.
YOU CAN GO DOWN THE LIST OF THE PROMISES DONALD TRUMP MADE, AND
IT'S JUST OBJECTIVELY YOU CAN LINE THEM UP HERE AND EVERYTHING
HE PROMISED TO VOTERS IN WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, OHIO, AND
PENNSYLVANIA HE'S VIOLATED WITH THESE BILLS.
AND ON TOP OF THAT, EDDIE, ONLY 14% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT THESE
BILLS. AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CBO
NUMBERS OUT ON THE SENATE BILL. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE EVEN
WORSE. >> AND WE LOOK AT THE FOLKS WHO
WILL BE DEVASTATED BY IT IF IT'S PASSED.
WE THINK ABOUT HALF OF AMERICA'S CHILDREN ARE ON MEDICAID.
WE THINK ABOUT CLOSE TO 40%. ABOUT 40% OF THE CHILDREN ARE ON
MEDICAID. POOR FOLK, PARTICULARLY IN THE
SOUTH WHERE WE'RE FROM, ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY ON MEDICAID.
>> IF I'M A CONSERVATIVE ON THE FLOOR AND I'M GOING TO GO OUT
AND VOTE FOR MY PARTY'S BILL, IT HAD BETTER GIVE ME SOMETHING I
CAN GO BACK TO MY DISTRICT. LISTEN, I KNOW THIS IS TOUGH
MEDICINE AND NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE HELPED BY THIS BILL,
BUT THIS IS WHAT THE BILL DOES. IT'S ACTUALLY -- IT BRINGS IN
FREE MARKET FORCES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT LOWERS THE COST
CURVE FOR OUR HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS
AND STOPS US FROM BECOMING BANKRUPT.
THIS BILL DOESN'T DO THAT. IT DOESN'T BRING IN FREE MARKET
FORCES, SO EVEN AS A CONSERVATIVE WHERE I MIGHT BE
WILLING TO MAKE SOME REALLY TOUGH CALLS ON ONE SIDE, IF I
GET SOMETHING BACK ON THE OTHER, THIS BILL DOESN'T EVEN DO THAT.
IT DOESN'T MAKE THE SYSTEM BETTER.
WE STILL CAREEN TOWARDS BANKRUPTCY.
ALL IT DOES IS TRANSFERS WEALTH, ABOUT A TRILLION DOLLARS IN
WEALTH FROM THE POOR TO THE RICH.
>> AND HOW DISTURBING IS IT THAT THIS IS GOING GOING TO REORDER H
OF OUR NATION'S ECONOMY AT A TIME WHEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
REAL WILLY STRUGGLING AND THEY'RE DOING IT WITHOUT ANY
REAL DEBATE AND THEY JUST WANT TO JAM IT -- GET IT DONE BEFORE
THE FOURTH OF JULY. >> RIGHT.
AND WE HAVE KASIE, WE HAVE SO MANY QUOTES FROM REPUBLICANS WHO
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BARACK OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION NOT BEING
TRANSPARENT, ABOUT THEIR HEALTH CARE BILL.
ARE YOU GOING TO GO BACK TO '93 AND HAVE ALL THE "WALL STREET
JOURNAL" EDITORIALS ATTACKING HILLARY CLINTON AND THE CLINTON
CARE COMMISSION FOR NOT BEING TRANSPARENT AND, MY GOSH, THE
COMPLAINTS IT IN '93, THE COMPLAINTS AGAIN IN 2009, AND
YET HERE THIS IS THE MOST SECRETIVE, CLOSED PROCESS WE'VE
EVER HAD FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM. THERE'S NOT EVEN A CLOSE SECOND.
AND YET THEY PUSH AHEAD. >> Reporter: LOOK, I COVERED ALL
OF THE MARKUPS FOR THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, ALL THE
HEARINGS, I MEAN, HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS, AND AT THE END
OF THE DAY, YES, THEY CRACKED THE FINAL DEAL BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS IN HARRY REID'S OFFICE AND AS WE KNOW THE STORY THEY PASS
ED IT ON CHRISTMAS EVE BUT IT WAS AFTER A YEAR AND CHANGE OF
DEBATE AND DISCUSSION AND BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THE PUBLIC
OPTION TAX CREDITS, THIS, THAT, THE OTHER THING.
THIS IS A VERY, VERY QUICK PROCESS THAT HAS INVOLVED A VERY
SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO THE POINT WHERE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE
COVERED THIS AS A POLICY ISSUE FOR YEARS AREN'T EVEN SURE THE
RIGHT QUESTION TO ASK BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT AND THERE ARE REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO ARE ESSENTIALLY
SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT IT. AND I THINK THAT'S THE THING TO
WATCH THIS WEEK, IN MY VIEW. YOU HEARD RON JOHNSON SAY IT
OVER THE WEEKEND THAT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO HERE IS DELAY THIS.
IF YOU START TO GET MORE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE SAYING,
LOOK, I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO THAT THIS WEEK, YEAH, IT'LL BE A
DELAY BUT IT'S POTENTIALLY ALSO A DEATH KNELL FOR THE BILL
BECAUSE IF THEY DELAY IT THIS WEEK -- AND McCONNELL KNOWS
THAT. THAT'S PART OF THE REASON FOR
THIS TIMETABLE. THEY'RE GOING TO GO HOME FOR THE
FOURTH OF JULY RECESS, SEE ALL OF THESE TOWN HALLS, A LOT OF
ANGER AND A POTENTIAL SAPING OF THE POLITICAL WILL AND THEN ALL
OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER AND WE'RE BACK TO
GOVERNING BY CISIS. >> IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
THE FRONT OF "THE DAILY NEWS," ONE OF THE PAPERS THE PRESIDENT
READS, HAS THE HEADLINE "ARE REVOLT."
WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE YET, ARE WE, KASIE?
>> Reporter: NOT YET. >> THEY'RE STARTING TO MOVE AWAY
FROM IT, AREN'T THEY? >> Reporter: I THINK YOU ARE
SEEING EARLY SIGNS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO AT LEAST FEEL LIKE,
OKAY, LET'S JUST TAKE A BREATH. ARE LET'S SLOW THIS DOWN.
AND IF THAT STARTS TO BECOME THE MOST PREDOMINANT NARRATIVE I
THINK THERE IS A RISK BUT LEAD ER
SHIP WILL HAVE TO PUT THIS OFF. IF THEY DO THAT IT COULD HAVE
MORE FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES. >> ALL RIGHT, AND ONE MORE PIECE
OF INFORMATION, THE MOST RECENT KAISER POLL IS SHOWING FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN 79 POLLS, MORE JEDI MIND TRICKS, SUPPORT FOR
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT HAS PASSED 50%.
JUST 30% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT REPLACEMENT PLANS.
LOOK AT THAT. AGAIN, SO THE JEDI MIND TRICK
WAS NOT JUST SPECIFIC TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
HE COMES BACK AND -- >> THIS REPUBLICAN BILL IS
APPARENTLY NOT REPEALING OR REPLACING OBAMACARE, NOT
PRESENTING A FREE MARKET FUTURE FOR HEALTH CARE, NOT DOING
ANYTHING -- IT IS DOING ONE THING, THOUGH.
IT'S MAKING OBAMACARE MORE POPULAR.
