In conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell. Harris chief White House Correspondent john roberts is live at the United Nations. John, it has been an interesting day. You heard him there, rocket man and so much more from the president. Reporter that was the nickname he gave just over the weekend in a tweet. One that looks like its going to stick. You mentioned Benjamin Netanyahu. He said in a Statement Today that the president s speech was the strongest thing he had heard in his 30 years dealing with the United Nations. Short time ago after a bilateral hearing with the secretarygeneral, President Trump gave a toast to open up the secretarygenerals luncheon. Lear on today the president will be meeting with the mayor of qatar and has a diplomatic reception this evening. His officials events here at the General Assembly beginning to wind down. But what a speech. We heard from nikki haley, the u. N. Ambassador that was going to, quote, slap the right people and hug the right people. He hugged china and russia for finally coming to the table over sanctions on north korea. And he took a huge baseball bat and swatted kim jongun with that, calling out north korea, warning north korea that it was headed down a dangerous, dangerous path. Also calling out nations who might be helping north korea. Listen to what the president said. It is an outrage that some nations would not only trade with such a regime, but would arm, supply and financially support a country that imperils the world. The United States has great strength an patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its ally, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. Reporter very harsh words. Those mirrored what james mattis said a couple weeks ago at the white house. He said were not looking to the total annihilation of a nation, names like north korea, but we have many military options to do so. Touch talk is aimed at kim jongun and also the generals surrounding him to suggest if he continues going down this path its going to end up very badly for north korea. The president also calling out iran as a murderous regime that is destablizing the middle east. It is certainly out of the operation of the north as it were with countries, other countries in that region with the exception of syria. Syria is a patron of iran. The president also again calling out the Iran Nuclear Deal and the Obama Administration for striking that deal with iran. Listen to what the president said. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States and i dont think youve heard the last of it. Believe me. It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that irans government end its pursuit of death and destruction. Reporter and the president again calling out the restkpwhraoepl venezuela for installing a dictatorship there, making farce of democracy. Last night the president had dinner with the leaders of latin american nations, urging them to ban together to restore democracy to venezuela. Listen what he said about all of that in his speech this morning. This corrupt regime destroyed a prosperous nation by imposing a failed ideology that has produced poverty and misery everywhere it has been tried. To make matters worse, maduro has defied his own people, stealing power from their own elected representatives to preserve his disastrous rule. This situation is completely unacceptable and we cannot stand by and watch. Reporter the president used an interesting phrase to describe whats going on there saying it is not a failed imposition of socialism. It is the fateful imposition of socialism. That brought a strong sponges from venezuelas foreign minister saying he thought he was listening to Ronald Reagan speak and not donald trump. Which i just think, harris, donald trump might take as a compliment. Harris if he was trying to throw shade, i think the tree moved and didnt throw any. John robert, good to see you. Reporter may not have an accurate read of history. Harris for more on thrb lets bring in brett baier starting at 5 p. M. Eastern for a twohour special. Great to see you. I want to talk ab where we are after the president s speech and whether or not this moved any issues one way or the other . Harris, first of all, i agree with john and you, that President Trump would welcome the comparison to Ronald Reagan. This was in sense a reaganesque speech. If you look at the trajectory of the speech, from the joint session of Congress Speech to the speech in saudi arabia, to the speech in warsaw poland, the speech about afghan policy, you are seeing the formulation of the trump doctrine. That is America First, but not just America First. The world is made up of proud independent nations that have to address big problems together, but also have to address problems in their own countries. If there were two words for this speech, it would be direct and bold. It was clear what he was saying. He said some things in very trumpian ways like rocket man. But he also said things in the broad scope of history that is different than a president has spoken for a long time. Possibly, as i started here back to Ronald Reagan. Harris so, again, are we at a position where it made a difference for the leaders in the room . For all those who didnt show up from russia, from china, from germany. For those who were not there but probably watched. Yeah. I think the message on the north korea part, for example, was clearly a threat if kim jongun cons what hes doing that there will be a confrontation. It was less about a message to north korea than it was a message directly to china. And all of the other countries that are dealing with or helping fund north korea. I think the message on venezuela was really interesting. As john pointed out about socialism, saying that socialism extinguishes liberty. These are big broad things that you havent seen a president directly address from that stage where, as President Trump called the bad marble behind him. But to all the World Leaders sitting there. Harris he spoke to every corner of the picture he was standing before. I want to ask about iran. Thats an area where even back on the campaign trail, this president , then candidate said, im gonna do away with that deal. He talked about it being a corrupt dictatorship, a murderous regime. Lets watch and then i want to get your response, bret. We cannot let a murderous regime continue these destablizing activities while building dangerous missiles and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program. Harris bret . Yeah. The suggestion is that this deal is not going to stand as it stands. And how that evolves and what the decision is, i dont know how thats going to evolve. Only has a few days before he has to make that decision. I think that youre going to see a lot of world powers weigh in and say this may not be good in the long run, but the president s making clear there are real problems that he sees with the deal as its structured. Harris iranian leadership saying we won like what happens next if we try to do this. I think there are some negotiating points that hes trying to get europe come off and maybe redo the deal in some way, shape or form. Thats probably not gonna happen just listening to those nations. Its a similar stance ab the paris climate accord, at least the messages youre getting out of the white house. Unless its changed the white house will pull out of it. Harris what time is it . Less than three hours until we see bret baier do a special two hour report. Thank you, harris. Harris youre welcome. Lets go to capitol hill. Colorado senator Corey Gardner is a republican on the Foreign Relations committee. Lot being said about the tone and tenor of the president being tough when he needed to be. What did you think of this speech . I had called on the president earlier today to be Crystal Clear in his statements before the United Nations. That he needs to stand tough toward china when it comes to their relationship to north korea. Needs to send a message to the hundreds of nations around the globe that are continuing to do business with north korea. And that we need to make it clear to the kim jongun regime. He did that. Harris is there a risk for this president . I am just looking at what his critics might say. For him to go so strong, is there any risk with our allies . Would anybody actually walk away . Well, look at what is happening. We have china who has now voted for United NationsCouncil Resolution and yetted they continue to trade with north korea. There are over 5,000 businesses in china who are today doing business in north korea. In fact, while china claims they dont support unilateral sanctions against north korea, they have unilateral sanctions in place against south korea where chinese actions have cost the south korean economy, 10, 11, 12 billion or more because they dont like the system they put in place to defend themselves from north korea. If they would do the same thing to north korea, we might be getting somewhere when koeuplts to denuclearization. What President Trump did today was to make it Crystal Clear that we will not stand by while china and other nations to embolden the kim regime. Harris how do you get them to eat less cake . I have introduced Bipartisan Legislation with senator ed markey to call for a global embar do of north korea, to place sanctions on those chinese entities to make sure anybody who has business with north korea is barred from doing business with the u. S. Financial system or barred from access to our u. S. Financial system. Just yesterday i sent a letter to embassies asking them to close those missions to sever diplomatic relationships. We need to build up our economic and diplomatic pressure on nor korea. They need to get the north korean regime out of the United Nations. I have asked them to support those. We need to name, we need to shame an call out this regime for what it is. Maybe then we can start getting the attention of kim jongun. Harris do you think the president moved the ball at all with his speech inside the u. N. . I think you had a collection of nations that heard a very committed president to a peaceful solution in north korea. You heard him talk about the other hot spots around the globe. I dont think theres any space in what he said. Harris thats for certain. Senator gardner of the beautiful state of colorado, thank you. Thanks for having me. Harris we will all hear from new york congressman peter king and asks what he thinks of the speech as we await israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to address the United Nations. Stay close. Major portions of the world are in conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell. But the powerful people in this room under the guidance and auspices of the guidance of the United States can solve these problems. Just like the people who own them, every business is different.

The United States is one out of 193 countries in the United Nations. And yet we pay 22 of the entire budget and more. In fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes. The United States bears an unfair cost burden. Harris so interesting to see the cut aways of the people who were listening inside the General Assembly. President trump demonstrating his forceful policy talk an pushing for reforms early before the United Nations. Lets bring in republican congressman peter king of new york to talk about this. Congressman, always good to have you. In fact, i have got your twitter page up. Im just gonna quote you to you. Masterful speech by President Trump on u. N. Proud of american values. No apology, no retreats. God bless america. You get the first word and now you get the next word. To me, this was an outstanding speech. He laid it on the line, but very realistic statement. He cut through that whole mindset at the u. N. Where they love process. They love to talk. They love to put off until tomorrow. They love to take cheap shots at the United States where were the ones picking up the bills. We dont get the support we need from so many of them. He laid i on the line. I dont think any line in that speech that they can honestly disagree with. Serious threat of north korea. Serious about world korea. If theyre serious about strengthening the u. N. , they should listen to President Trump. Theyre just not used to listening and hearing it in an honest direct frank way. Harris being in new york youve seen these speeches before. What is generally the force here . Do you immediately find out what those people who were looking a little by, oh, i dont know i dont want to editorialize. They werent particularly smiling. How do you gauge the tone inside that room . I would say probably slightly more intelligent than the awards. Say oh, its trump. They said the same thin about Ronald Reagan and Ronald Reagan won the cold war and more countries came around to his thinking. They realized that for the u. N. To survive, theyre gonna have to at least try to fly with what President Trump is trying to talk about. Cutting through that whole cloud that they wrap around themselves of being so focused on process. To me, couldnt have been a better speech. Very intelligent, very forcefully and context of history with it. They can write this off as some red neck speech, some crazy man speech. This was totally thoughtful, totally really right on target with great perspective. Harris congressman, we can talk ab why this might be good for a president historically, his first ever at the General Assembly at the u. N. , but how is this good for america . Its good for america because america has made it clear where we stand. Hes putting it on the line for these countries. Hes calling countries out. To just go along get along and say we all love each other, we all ought to try to find a way to make peace and then go to the cocktail parties tonight it would have achieved absolutely nothing. He showed its serious, hes real, and when tough decisions have to come along, donald trump is playing for keeps. Harris peter king, thank you very much. Thank you. Harris new details on one of President Trumps long time attorneys. Why Senate Republicans called off a meeting with him. Ckatherine herridge is next.

Harris Senate Investigators called off a meeting with Michael Cohen today after they say cohen broke an agreement after talking with the media. Katherine, what happened following the closed door meeting today . Reporter well, harris, the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Hearing room, earlier today we were anticipating the president s personal attorney Michael Cohen would meet with investigators about three, four hours. 30 minutes into the session cohen said it had been shut down and that it was the committees call. Was it your request to postpone or was what were you doing here today . It was a request of the Senate Intelligence committee. I will be back. I look forward to giving all the information that theyre looking for. Reporter as part of his appearance today, Michael Cohen put together a fourpage written statement about his position on the russia allegations. It reads in part, let me be totally clear that i am innocent of the allegations raised against me given my own proximity to the president of the United States as a candidate, let me also say that i never saw anything, not a hint of anything that demonstrated his involvement in russian interference in our election or any form of russian collusion. Here is his lawyer. That statement was factual. It was accurate. It was respectful. And we stand behind that statement. The committee has chosen to postpone todays meeting. And we will come back for a voluntary interview whenever we can to meet with them. Reporter what we know now hearing from our reporting is that it was a fourpage written statement that caused the problem at that meeting today, harris. Harris interesting. This is a person that they said they really wanted to talk to. We just heard from a committee member. But what else has come out . Reporter well, within the last hour or so weve had a statement from the republican chairman of the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Richard Burr as well as mark warner, and their position is that the testimony was shut down because cohen and his legal team broke the agreed ground rules for the session. That Statement Reads in part, we are disappointed that mr. Cohen let me step aside. Senator warren and senator king are walking inside. We are disappointed that mr. Cohen released a Public Statement prior to the engagement of Committee Staff in spite of the committees request that he refrain from public comment. As a result, we declined to move forward with todays interview and will reschedule mr. Cohens appearance before the committee in open session at a date in the near future. Big development here today is that they plan to bring cohen back, this time in a Public Session as opposed to a private session. Also what were told is that he says it will be voluntary. If not the committee is prepared to subpoena him. So its a very strange turn of events here, to say the least. Harris you were talking about the traffic behind you. Catch us up on that because you were off camera. Reporter sure. Okay. So, ab 2 30 in the afternoon on tuesdays they have regular meeting with members of the Senate Intelligence committee. As luck would have it, just as were coming into this report, some of the members are arriving for that session which is just behind closed doors in one of the secure facilities. We saw the senior democrat on the committee, mark warner, as well as the independent angus king. Something they do every week. It would not be a stretch to think theyre going to discuss what went down this morning. Cohen is an important interview in many respects because of his involvement with the president on a personal level. The business dealings. He also appears in the unverified antitrump dossier that was the basis of so much of the fbi activity during the campaign, harris. Harris thank you. Excellent information there as you put it into context as you watch another live event unfold behind you. President trump is giving a blunt speech at the United Nations. Weve been talking about it since it happened. For the First Time Since president , he emphasized America First inside those halls. How did that go over with those Global Leaders . Our Political Panel will debate it. And hurricane maria, a category 5. Came on so quickly, theyre calling it one of the fastest storms ever. Its threatening puerto rico with a direct hit. This as people in new england just north of us here, getting ready to take on Tropical Storm jose. Thats moving in, too. Looks like we will be on the island for a few days. At least until thur thursday night. I guess the weathers supposed to be really bad. Orful gravy. And a crust made from scratch. Because she knows that when its cold outside, its good food and good company that keep you warm inside. Marie callenders. Its time to savor. When this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. Yeah, my dad says our insurance doesnt have that. What . you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. Harris senator Lindsey Graham just walked up with a group of people behind him to talk about that compromised healthcare bill. Lets watch. Will work because the people in charge will be accountable to you, unlike obamacare where the person in charge could give a damn of what you think. For 25 years i have treated patients on the weekend at charity hospitals. Its been my lifes work to try to bring healthcare and coverage to those who do not have. A person with a special needs child tells me hes paying 40,000 a year in premiums plus a 5,000 deductible, we know that the system is failing. I spoke on the Jimmy Kimmell case. His family, its almost beyond their reach. He has a child that doesnt get a subsidy and cant afford his insurance coverage. Thats not the way it should be. What we attempt to do is take all the dollars in washington, d. C. , doll it out as the state jumps through a hoop and return it to the states for the states to do that which is best for that state. If youre in a state which is not expanded medicade, youre gonna do great. All those lower North Carolina texans, virginians, floridians will have dollars in their state to get Health Insurance that they currently do not have. If youre a state which has expanded medicade we do our best to hold you harmless. We run it through the chip program. I hear no one complaining about the chip program. The chip program is something on a bipartisan basis has been recognized to be an effective way to provide access and quality care to those in need. We con patient protection. Whatever waiver a state wishes to have, they must ensure the secretary that they continue to provide adequate and affordable coverage for those with preexisting conditions. That is our back stop. We preserve Mental Health parity. Ultimately we give the dollars to the state for the state to be inventive. We can look at the states and what they have done, some of which were squashed by obamacare. In maine their invisible high risk pool which obamacare put out of business is now seen as the policy to go forward. In indiana where they prefunded Health Savings accounts to lower income hoosiers to be empowered to purchase their own services they found cost went down and outcomes improved. We give it to the states. Ill finish how i started. Im a doctor for 25 years caring for thoesz who didnt have coverage. It is my goal to continue to bring them coverage. I think this does a far better job than status quo. Thank you. Any questions on the substance . Id like for senator graham to handle. You said never been in a better state. Do you know almost any repeal and replace plan is going to get 46, 47 republican yeses. Might be higher than that now. Thats not that much better. Why is that different than july when you had fundamentally this . At the end of the day we need 50 votes. If youre a republican chances are you believe in federalism because if you dont, you probably are not a republican. So the last effort to repeal and replace obamacare was better than obamacare but did not embrace the concept bill was talking about. So i believe most republicans like the idea of state controlled health care versus washington, d. C. Controlled health care. Employer assessments are going out next month by the end of 2017. Thousands of businesses will get a notice from the federal government thats 4. 8 billion. Lot of republicans would like to stop that from happening. The best way to do that is to repeal the employer mandate, individual mandate. States can reimpose it. Weve come upon an idea that is uniquely republican but over time has proved to work in other areas like welfare reform. So i would hate to be the democrat that voted against more money for my state and more power and keep the status quo. So if youre a democrat, lets say in missouri. Youre gonna get far more money under this proposal than obamacare and your state would have more control over the money. To reject that money and that control means you believe that somebody in washington cares more about people in missouri than people in missouri. You believe its okay to help california, new york, maryland, massachusetts more than missouri. Thats just what a democrat would have to face if they voted no. If youre a republican and you vote against federalism, you got to explain to people back home why washington knows better and almost every state except the four i have described do very well under this new approach to taking the money out of washington. So i think the idea is more powerful. I think the substance is much more fair. And at the end of the day, i really believe were gonna get 50 republican votes. I make a prediction. There are going to be a lot of democrats struggling with a no vote. At least eight of them, eight of them, their states do far better than obamacare in terms of funding and they have more control over the money. Thats going to be a hard no. [ inaudible question ] the cbo told us theyll have a score for us. The coverage will be on the cash aspect of it. Well have a chance to look at tha that. When is the bill coming to the floor . You understand we would have to deal with this before september 30th. So thats the answer. We will have to deal with it because the vehicle expires at the end of the month. If we were going to go forward, we would have to act before september 30th. Were in the process of discussing all of this. Everybody knows that the opportunity expires at the end of the month. Ky Say Something about that . Go ahead. Okay. Heres the test for republicans. Did we work as hard to repeal obamacare as they did to pass it . Mitch mcconnell and the leadership has done everything weve asked and then some. I have spoken to paul ryan, the speaker of the house, and said i like it. You send to it the house, its going to pass. Every republican out there believes this is a fundamental reason were in charge. That democrats have lost a lot of seats backing a bad idea and weve been the biggest political beneficiary of obamacare and we want to try to make patients the beneficiary of our idea. So at the end of the day will we try again . I would argue that, yes, we should, because i do not want to go back to South Carolina and say that i did everything i could to repeal obamacare and not believe it in my heart. So senator mcconnell is doing everything he can. Paul ryan told me to my face, if you pass it, we pass it. This plan has been out there for a couple of months. How do you convince americans that you truly think this would lead to better healthcare and its not just a last ditch attempt to do something before the deadline . I think youve heard the arguments here. It is better than the status quo by far. Thats an argument were all comfortable making. In terms of whats left in the calendar year, how concerned are you about time getting what you want to get done this year . Well be fine. The next big priority is tax reform. I think well be just fine. Senator graham raised concerns early in the process about how this was working, how you were moving through. Made this a basis for an important vote. Given the compressed timetable do you believe you will adequately address senator mccains concerns . We have a hearing scheduled monday in finance. We had one vote on the defense bill. Why . Because democrats objected to the amendment. There will be a public hearing, what johns been asking for. You can have different opinions about the quality of this bill. At the end of the day, this is the only process left available to stop a march toward socialism. We have between now and the end of the month to have a vote and debate about whether this is better than the status quo. My friends on the other side are never going to agree to a bipartisan proposal that does anything other than prop up obamacare. I have talked to the president five times in the last two days. He is focused like a laser. He has told me hes not gonna throw good money after bad. Hes very excited about this state Centric Healthcare system. All i can tell you is that the process left to us is that the Democratic Party is never going to give us anything that fundamentally changes obamacare. Weve had weeks of talking. The only time theyve gotten serious is when they are afraid that my bill may pass. Now theyre coming to me. What about this . What about that . Here what the speaker of the house told me. I will not bring up a bill for a vote in the house that props up obamacare because that is not why i came here and that is not what our majority wants to do. And the president of the United States is committed to repealing and replacing this bill, not propping it up. Harris so a very enriched and detailed healthcare popup News Conference from members of leadership in the senate. You saw senator Lindsey Graham saying we need to pass this healthcare bill to stop the march toward socialism. He said we spoke to paul ryan and was told by ryan, face to face, if you pass it, we will pass it. Saw Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell there. Said the deadline to deal with this to make it a majority vote because of a budget reconciliation is september 30. They got to get it done. Then it pops up to 60. If you think this is hard, imagine that. Cbo said they will have a score on coverage aspects of this. That came from another leader there on the hill. This has gone on. Theyve taken many questions. This situation is on going. We saw senator chuck shumer just yesterday holding his own event talking about how bipartisan agreement on this Graham Cassidy bill is not where he plans to go, not for his leadership. So around and around we go. Were also watching a situation at the United Nations, just to catch you up quickly. Were waiting for Prime Minister of israel, Benjamin Netanyahu to come up and speak there before the General Assembly. When that happens we will take you there live. Now lets bring in the Political Panel. Simon rosenberg is the president and founder of the new democrat network. Also a former Campaign Adviser for president bill clinton. Also with us, matt schlapp. Matt, i want to start with you. It seems like a hardcore sell, hard pressed sell. Is that what were watching or is this how it gets done . Yeah. Two or three days ago my thought was they just didnt think this was the vehicle they were going to push. As you saw from that News Conference, republicans are convinced that they are right there on the number of votes they need pass this. That it will come down to the same senators probably all over again. Murkowsky, john mccain, susan collins, rand paul. So they are right there. They dont believe this is perfect. They dont believe this does everything they want it to do, but they believe this demonstrates this year that they defang the central part of obamacare which are the mandates, send the money with a hair cut back to the governors and theyll be back with more reforms including with tom price as this moves forward. Harris simon, im confused. I thought chuck shumer and nancy pelosi when they did their victory dance on the dems getting a deal with the president last week, that they were going to do some bipartisan work. Whats wrong with this that they wont . Well, listen, i just want to say the obvious thing here, which is we are breaking 200 years of tradition in the way legislation passes in the United States with this legislation. Were not going to have hearings until a few days before the vote. It is against senate rules to have a vote on a major bill without a full cbo score. Theyre breaking all sorts of rules. Why not allow harris i have to cut in. Senator chuck shumer giving his reaction after the republicans. Lets watch. We heard a lot of talk about the state an governors. Ten governors, five democrats, five republicans opposed the trump care to so called Graham Cassidy bill and more in favor of a bipartisan negotiation such as that that senator alexander and senator murray are Going Forward with. Second, i just heard our republican colleagues speak. There was a word missing. People. Patients. Care. All this stuff democrat, republican, governors, washington. How about how this affects the people . Millions will lose coverage. No guarantee of preexisting conditions. And an end to medicade as we know it. Tens of millions of people could well lose coverage. People who desperately need essential services would lose it. Our republican colleagues dont seem to care about how this affects the average american. Thats why trump care, the previous trump care bill weres so unpopular. Thats why this bill is so unpopular. Thats why, despite all their efforts, theyre struggling. Because their own senators know that the public dislikes this bill. Latest version of trump care may live under a new name, Graham Cassidy, but no matter how many ways they try to dress it up, they try to hide it, its even more dangerous than the previous bill that was defeated. Simply put, trump care is a sham. Theyre crafting it in the dark of night. To say one hearing on one day without a cbo score and only two witnesses against the bill, thats a hearing . Thats a full airing of the bill . Come on. Theyre ashamed of this bill. Theyre afraid to find out what it actually does. And so we get another bill in the dark of night. So the process is awful. Our republican colleagues, weve heard justice being blind. Our republican colleagues should be Walking Around with blind folds cause they dont want to see whats in the bill theyre being forced to vote for with all the cuts to people, with all its unpopularity, with all the basic meanness in this bill. They dont want to go home and tell a mom who learns her daughter or son has cancer and an Insurance Company can make insurance unaffordable for them. They dont want that. They dont want to tell middle class family in the suburbs that mom or dad in the nursing home may no longer get coverage. They dont want to tell 23yearold young man desperately needs opioid treatment that it may go away. This isnt simply making the decisions at the states. They make the cuts here in washington that hurt average people. Then tell the states to figure out who to cut. This is not a neutral bill that simply gives power to the states. It is a bill to end medicade as we know it and let the governors do the dirty work. That is why, that is why ten governors from the states of colorado, ohio, alaska, montana, pennsylvania, virginia, louisiana, nevada, massachusetts and vermont, five democrats, five republicans, have said dont do trump care 2. Dont do Graham Cassidy. Just on the substance, according to the center of budget and policy priorities, it will result in about 700 billion in cuts to health care by 2027. It would cause millions to lose coverage. Millions. It would radically restructure and deeply cut medicade. It would bring us back to the days when Insurance Companies could discriminate against people with preexisting conditions. Would get rid of the Consumer Protections that gives americans access to maternity care, Substance Abuse of prescription drugs, and it would throw the individual markets into chaos, resulting in 15 Million People losing coverage. If they let the cbo do its work, the cbo wasnt pressured to put out something thats just a few lines, this would all be told by cbo. How do we know . But a similar bills in the past have been scored by cbo with similar provision. Theyre afraid. They are afraid that the public will hate this bill so theyre trying to rush it through in the dark of night. We want, above all, a bill that protects average americans, not slashes the healthcare they need, whether the governor or washington should try to do that its wrong. We want to work in a bipartisan process to make things better. We want the house, the president , republican leadership, to stop pressuring those who want to come up with a bipartisan solution to refrain from doing it. We can make this work in a bipartisan way. The final thing i say is this. We have seen some very very hopeful sprouts of bipartisanship in the last month. Going back to this trump care 2, Graham Cassidy, would shut down that bipartisanship that american yearns for. Im gonna call on harris weve just heard an extended statement from senator chuck shumer of new york. His response to republicans on the hill just moments ago, which we brought you live, making their pitch for healthcare, the Graham Cassidy bill, which they say amends, repeals, does what it needs to do to obamacare to make it pass. So, does it have the votes . Lets bring back our political final, Simon Rosenberg and matt schlapp. Simon, when you say republicans are trying to get this done in the dark when nancy pelosi said were going to pass it to find out whats in it. How is it different . Thats incredibly misleading. They were passing obamacare, the process went on for a year. There were dozens of hearing, markups, Committee Hearings. It was an open process that went on for almost a year. So if they had followed the same process we did, then the vote on this would take place about a year from now after a year of deliberations. This is antidemocratic. This is wrong for the American People. The American People deserve a full hearing that goes on for weeks and allows the democrats, as we did in the Committee Process for republicans to make changes. Republicans made many changes to obamacare during the course of its winding its way through congress that we accepted and incorporated into the obamacare bill. Its not the same. Its misleading what you just said. This is not misleading. Harris accurately quoted the former speaker. The fact is before that bill hit the floor, it was rewritten in the speakers office. Weve been talking about obamacare for seven and a half years. Weve had four National Elections on this topic. Everyone knows what were dealing with. Were dealing with the fact that obama screwed up our healthcare system. Americans are understand what the problem is. Its time for republicans in congress to put up their solution to this most serious problem. Harris one thing is for sure. We have a deadline that republicans are working up against. Its september 30th to get around the special rule. They want to get this done before they go away and they need 60. Gentlemen i have to step away for breaking news. Lets go over to shepherd smith for some breaking news in mexico. Very serious. A powerful earthquake has just struck mexico city. Video is coming in over social media. The first we have is from global news. This is video out the window there. You can see what looks like smoke rising. This is in mexico city proper.

The reports out of mexico city are thousands of people have fled into the street. Next video, please. Again, all of these coming in to us from mexico city. This is a building where it appears a facade has collapsed. This particular video we cant verify this video, but weve done all the checking possible, and we believe that to be accurate. Next video. The authorities are telling us they have no reports of extensive damage, but these videos, this particular video is confirmed. We know this is a new video from this earthquake. So its possible that the recording hasnt caught up with the reality. We also have a still picture thats also been verified. This still picture shows the facades or something in the distance, we dont know if thats smoke or the sort of dust that comes when pieces fall off buildings. Early reporting now, no injuries that we know of. Certainly nothing extremely serious. Well be monitoring this from the newsdesk. When we get new reports out of mexico, well bring this to you.
