We will have many more opportunities. Obamacare is unwinding and theres nobody for repeal more than i but i cant vote for something thats not really repealed. Jesse President Trump calls the bill great and says rand paul is a friend but its a negative force when it comes to fixing health care. Heres more familiar from the president. I think theres tremendous support. Its much better than the previous shot, which was very sadly i think of a lot of republicans are embarrassed by it. They will do a great job if this happens, it will be a great thing. Jesse former president obama sounded off on the new attempt to overhaul his signature legislation. When i see people trying to do the hard work progress for the 50th or 60th time, it is aggravating. It certainly frustrating to have to mobilize every couple of months to keep our leaders from inflicting real human suffering on our constituents. Jesse lets begin with rand paul, kimberly. I dont think theres anything you can do besides fully approved obamacare from the ground to please the senator. Kimberly thats the thing. He holds his ground on principal. He is being consistent. Every time i am offered an alternative, this isnt sufficient. If you like someone who stands on his principal, okay. But if you want a team player [laughs] dana he voted for it two weeks ago. Kimberly today he saying he has no bit for it. Im not sure hes going to go forward at all but the president in one of his most charming ways to call someone jesse hes my friend, but. Kimberly he said nothing is going to please him. Hes been tough on this. We really should do this. Its our chance. Its sort of like come on is running out. Its been promised to the american people. You can criticize president obama and obamacare and say that you can do it better and then fail at this measure over and over again. This is their last ditch effort. I think the expectation is a little bit low. Perhaps they will exceed it. Jesse juan, if obamacare was working, republicans wouldnt have to repeal and replace it at all. Would they . Kimberly he thinks it is working. Juan i think it is working. Heres why republicans have to repeal and replace. More people have in fact, Insurance Companies are the ones who have the give up these bumpers and all that to keep it working. A minute ago you said it was jesse people are getting free money. Kimberly juan there aree americans insured. They were guaranteed against things like preexisting conditions. Kimberly kennedy no, the completely leaving. Juan do you know why . Because theres uncertainty by republicans including President Trump. Jesse they were leaving before trump was elected. Kennedy the system created the uncertainty. Its incredibly cool to say obamacare is working. If your premiums have gone up 116 like in parts of arizona, saying that its working is not working. Forcing you to pay for insurance you dont need, thats not working. There are young people in the country young and Healthy People who only want catastrophic insurance. They cant get that under obamacare so they would rather pull out of the system entirely and that causes a great destabilization. Pay the penalty and disco uninsured. Juan they have to pay a penalty. Thats part of the equation. You see more people and with insurance, Consumer Protection for people that have preexisting conditions. You see medicaid expanding. You see the growth of the Health Care System that is marketbased, kennedy. You are saying kennedy entitlement . Thats not free growth. Thats not a symptom of a healthy economy. Having the federal government to prop up Insurance Companies to the tune of billions of dollars. Thats exactly what would happen if Lamar Alexander and patty murray kept going down the bipartisan path in the senate. Im happy they are not. This is what i will say about rand paul. There are people who listen to him with the president said when he was on the campaign trail. I agree with them or not but he said im going to build this wall. A man of visible. Trying to deliver. Thats exactly what rand paul is doing. It is the same idea, the same mechanism, the same principled action and therefore, i dont think you can criticize and write him off for that. Dana why did he vote for the bill two weeks ago . Kennedy this is what i think and i dont want to speak for him but at the appointed spokesperson, the skinny bill was meant to be gutted. Completely hollowed out. It was going to be a franken bill that was not going to resemble itself at all by the time it got to the house. Kimberly like the skinny bill margarita. [laughter] juan republicans are not sincere about it. Its a great start. Im with you, jesse. Is this a bill that was promised over seven years a vote thats better than obamacare . 60 of americans say no, lets keep obamacare and fix it with things that make it better. Republicans are intent on some political victory because they have known and they say lets push this on the week even though its not better for the american people. Dana lets do what america does best. Take it out of washington, d. C. , and let the states decide. This is a bill that would go back to fed realistic principles. One of the hangups is that the congressional budget off office hasnt said i cant imagine what the people over at cbr trying to do. How do you know what citizens and governors are going to decide . You dont. How do you know what Insurance Companies how they are going to react and raise premiums and how that is going to affect the market and the number of people insured . Jesse i guess what you do is you keep obamacare, all the taxes and regulations but you take all the money and send it to the states and then they can decide within the state. Kimberly complication is well with that. Five republican governments goe also voiced their displeasure with trying to manage. They dont want to take on the burden. Government health care that they perhaps might not be in a run, optimally. Jesse every time a new governor is elected, they will tinker with it again. Juan what you get is you also put a cap on medicaid spending. You are giving this money to the state but you put a cap on the spending. That does away with the guaranteed of the Health Care Cost for low and moderate income americans. Thats a big burden and potentially on the state. Essentially what you have is republicans at the moment saying we dont know a form of a Better Health care plan. Their last plan, the skinny plan was intended to implode. Kennedy i dont know if it was intended to implode but it was intended to metamorphic size. Juan to go away. Jesse at [laughs] juan now they are saying we dont have a better plan. We will shove it down on the states and let the governors do it. Dana there something about a federal bureaucracy. A centralized system to make it very inefficient to get the necessary the people who need it most. We see that happen all the time. Kimberly dana if the ste given the flexibility, senator murkowski says that something i could sell to the people of alaska. Juan the people of alaska will get less money under this new plan. They will have less flexibility. Dana they have more pay. Kimberly may be that something more flexibility in terms of whether the dollar bill, perhaps people are into that. Jesse do you know who is not into that . Jimmy kimmel. He had a young son who needed a lot of emergencies emergencies. He did a monologue that got a lot of attention. If anyone is in his position but doesnt have kimmel money, he spoke out about this new repeal bill effort the other night. They are not taking care of me. They are taking care of the people that give the money, most Insurance Companies. Probably they wont even read it. They want us to do the same thing and treat it like an itunes service agreement. This guy bill cassidy lied right to my face. Jesse bill cassidy was from louisiana on the show. He is responding to mr. Kamel. He is wrong. It will increase coverage and protect those with preexisting conditions particularly with those who have not had the benefits of medicaid expansion. We help those in those states. Millions of americans. Jesse do think kamel is being helpful to the debate . Dana everyone has a right to say what they think. There are times when and i do this too, yet talk to someone who has had a personal experience and you listen because they have a compelling story. Its moving and you think cost, good point but its not the best way to make public policy. And bill cassidy from louisiana, hes a doctor himself. He spent years working in charity hospitals. This is not somebody who is basically trying to get risk way can kind. I think theres a lot of momentum this week. It may be last of 48 for this bill. Now congress is going home. Can they withstand the pressure from Something Like the jimmy kimmel appearance last night . The Facebook Comments that will go around . Can they withstand and come back in a boat right next week . Kennedy you bring up a really good point in thats charity hospitals. Some of the best care in this country comes from places like shriners and st. Judes. If you talk to people who have done surgical residency is, they will tell you that they worked in county hospitals and there are so many surgeons who do a lot of pro bono work. And those are some of the most challenging cases when they actually learned the most. Any child who goes in the hospital who has a lifethreatening heart condition and need surgery is not going to be turned away. There something in this country called the hippocratic oath. One of my very best friends is the head of pediatric surgery. In arkansas. What he does in taking those lives into his hands, it takes so much dedication and hard work. Thats and grace and a soul. Those are the human beings who would never turn away the kind of people that jimmy kimmel is talking about. Juan rand paul is a doctor too and he is saying no. The Hospital Association is saying no. Kimberly he is an eye doctor. Juan yes, okay. Dana like a dentist, not a real doctor. Juan the ama is saying no. Aarp is saying no. Jesse all those groups said yes to obamacare and it imploded, juan. Youre not even paying attention. Juan conservatives say this to each other back and forth. Kimberly those are the facts. Juan the facts is that its more people insured, premiums kennedy said going up but not at the rate they were going up. Jesse less than lower premiums . Dana unless doctors are taking those patients. On some of the obamacare plans not my own personal story but somebody that i know. They are independent business owners, that the buy on the obamacare market. They have a back condition. Theres not a doctor on the island of manhattan who will see him. They had to take a day off of work, go to the bronx. Triple the money. The deductibles arent there. Its not like its working purposely. Even Hillary Clinton said ill have to figure out how to fix this if i am elected. Juan thats what im trying to say. Why cant they work on this together instead of this last cynic rush to give a political victory when real life, real people kimberly oh, juan jesse puerto rico is now in the dark after Hurricane Maria lashes the u.

Built for business. Dana fox news. Hurricane maria has weakened to a category to chan storm but remains very dangerous after tearing through puerto rico. Power is knocked out across the island but there is widespread devastation. Lets go Steve Harrigan on the ground. The strongest winds came through over 9 00 or 10 00 in the morning. I just ripped right through on a diagonal across the most heavily populated part of the island with 3. 5 Million People. A u. S. Territory. Chunks of buildings all around. Balconies, satellite towers. It sides of roofs, walls down. All across the island also sl communities might have to be entirely rebuilt. Especially those structures. Power is out across the island. 100 out unless you have a generator. 3. 5 Million People in the dark. Theyve established a curfew from 6 00 p. M. To 6 00 a. M. Thereve not been any reports of looting yet. This island was hit hard by irma just two weeks ago. That was a glancing blow. This hurricane, a direct hit. They could be waiting for the lights to come on for weeks or months ahead. Dana, back to you. Kimberly steve, that is extremely troubling. Dana maria is now a category two trim but could rick, youve been working nonstop with these storms. What is the latest on maria . Especially the northeastern part of the caribbean, the islands right here, the northern islands, Virgin Islands took a direct hit from irma and now cutting this diagonal stretch right here across puerto rico, incredible flooding, almost all the rivers are above record flood, some of them feet and feet. One of the rivers is report back recording 50 feet above the record flood stage. Unimaginable. The pictures are going to be out and we will see all the devastation coming in. Also the storm its getting a little bit organized now that its back over while to make water. As away from land. All of our models the short term pulled this off toward the north. You get an idea. Something that stays well offshore. In the shortterm, good news for florida. No impacts except for maybe choppy seas. People are dealing with hurricane irma. We dont have to worry in florida, georgia, south carolina. Once we get to the middle part of the week, areas in the mid atlantic and bending towards the northeast, the most of our guidance keep it offshore. It will certainly be good news if that does continue. We have a long ways out. We could be talking about a week before we have the impact was the northeast but the trend right now is certainly towards a better situation across parts of the u. S. Dana. Dana thank you so much. A race for time in mexico to find survivors who might be trapped after yesterdays devastating 7. 1 magnitude earthquake. More than 52 rescued from the rubble of collapsed buildings today. The quake has killed more than 200. A live update in mexico city. Jonathan hunt, hows it going . I think we have lost jonatha. We will try to get him we are not going to be able to go around . I want to ask him really. Juan, you go to puerto rico quite often and kimberly you have family there. Kimberly yeah. In san juan. The devastation is terrible. People are suffering. There is no power and electricity. Can you imagine . Weve been seeing this but people, please dont become desensitized to the fact that this is so real for some new people. We all enjoyed many people that we know like juan, we go to puerto rico. We have a wonderful time. A great place to go for vacation for your family. Now, everything that people count on for their economy, the money coming in from dwarfism, to be able to support their families in jeopardy just by the sheer force of mother nature. Dana the island was already in dire straits come along, when it came to its finances and governance. They are talking about not having power for 46 months. 3. 5 Million People. Thats unimaginable. Juan that period covers the holidays. If youre thinking about going there for thanksgiving, christmas, new years or the early part of the winter youre not going to be able to go. You are not sure about whether or not they will have recovered. Dana they think they have jonathan live in mexico city. Jonathan, if we could get an update from that city . Yeah, good evening. There are dozens of increasingly desperate search and rescue operations going on across this city tonight. Behind me is one of them. You are looking at the remains of an Office Building that collapsed when that 7. 1 earthquake hit more than 24 hours ago now. Weve seen similar scenes across the city. An Apartment Building that had some 40 apartments. It was a fivestory building and it is now pancake to Something Like a twostory building. One of the main focuses of course is that school that collapsed in the southern part of mexico city. Rescuers there have been digging through the rubble. They hold their fist in the air every couple minutes, calling for silence. Thats a signal that they want the crowd gathered around them and everyone to be silent as they listen for the sound, particularly the sounds of any children who may be trapped in that rubble. They did find one girl alive today. They hope and hoping against hope that they may find more. Obviously, dana. With every passing minute, the hopes begin to dim finding anymore survivors. Mexican president pena nieto remains this will remain reliefe operation. The volunteers will not give up unless they are absolutely certain that all hope is lost and no more survivors can be found. Dana. Dana in important report. We will keep you updated and hopefully we will have good news about finding children alive in the rubble. Now, we are going to move on because rocket man continues to be a fallout for President Trump. Hillary clinton has a lot to say about his controversial u. N. Address. Kimberly President Trump put it rocket man kim jong un on notice. Hillary clinton had something to say about it. I thought it was very dark, dangerous, not the kind of message that the leader of the greatest nation in the world should be delivering. But i hope the president wouldve said was something along the lines of review this as dangerous to our allies, to the region and even to our country.
