is about my family. right now there is more time for everyone with senator mccain on the mend, that gives the congressional budget office more time to work on its analysis of the price and impact of this bill. heather: thank you, mike. jon: big trouble overseas for a princeton grad student, the american citizen now charged with spying and sentenced to prison in iran. how our state department is responding. plus, an american doctor arrives in london, giving new hope to the parents of a critically ill baby. a live report on the latest developments regarding charlie gard just ahead. had they been not ordinary people but wealthy parents, they could have gone to a private hospital in london. if they didn t like the treatment there, they would have said thank you very much but we need special care.
likely it is to actually occur. how do you see a? i hope senator mccain recovers well. i would not underestimate the speaker. i think if we can t come to a consensus on this, the one thing we can agree on is republicans as we need to repeal this bill. the other thing we need to do is go on offense. we keep mentioning the two republican senators and i think mitch mcconnell knows how to work that but at the end of the day, i would like to know where the democrats stand. do they want to hang their hat on obamacare or do they want to try to fix a broken system. we have not asked that question in the media or as republicans and i think we need to go back on offense and understand is congress going to do their job? the president has done his job. it is at the senate, congress needs to act. jon: it is true that obamacare is entirely a democratic creation, no republicans voted for the thing. are democrats willing to say
ask the pentagon to study how military bases are impacted by climate change. here is one republicans argument. we would be remiss in our efforts to protect our national security to not fully account for the risk of climate change poses to our bases, our readiness and fulfillment of our armed forces mission. there is a completely different argument being offered by other republicans who do not think climate change is high on the list of national security priorities. we have let the men and women that wear the uniform and defend our country focus on the enemy. if the enemy is climate change, they will focus on that as well and they will submit information so we can make decisions. the provisions for climate change and gender transition stay in this budget for now and next up will be a senate consideration of the bill sometime in the first week of august.
many of the mandates as we possibly can. a lot of us have concerns about the bill, on the senate side i would estimate that there are about 8-10 republican senators who have deep concerns about how this would all translate. i am never going to estimate leader mcconnell s skills. jon: joining is now a republican strategist and cochair for the pro trump great america pac. welcome. they have hit the pause button in washington at least until senator mccain can recover and get back there and perhaps cast a vote, a lot of observers have said that the longer this obamacare repeal and replace effort stays out there, the less
consideration of the health care reform package would be deferred. another end of member of the leadership team says they are working to round up support. we are continuing to work to get all 50 votes. at the cbo score will come out in a day or two. what we are going to see is that our plan lowers premiums for the american people which is what people were so concerned about. you continue to see the headlines that say another obamacare rate shock. the bill may be on hold for now but protests continue on capitol hill, we expect another one this afternoon. democratic senators are sounding the alarm. this is real, this is personal. they are talking about taking away nursing home care, care for children. it is shocking and when the public looks at this they go wait a minute. this is not about politics, this
