The grahamcassidy bill was not the answer. Professional sports versus President Trump. Why . Guess what, sports, theyre not letting up, with a team owner taking a knee before the anthem with his team. Athletes from across the spectrum a speaking out. The people run this country, not one individual. Damn sure not him. Damn sure not him. No gas no food. Medical fly splosupplies runnin. This is puerto rico this morning. Well find out what fema is doing and what you can do. The goal is to get that road open before they run out of fuel. And which way does alabama go with the endorsement for the primary senator or with the guy who pulled a gun on stage. I believe in the second amendment. That wasnt a movie. We begin with a bit of legislative day have a geja vu. Three senators now saying they will vote no, meaning there is zero chance this bill gets 50 votes. Its all over, right . Not so fast. Maybe theyll do a little reconciliation changes. I have a great group, starting with garrett hake who has been working 24 7 on capitol hill. Will they even vote on this bill. Well have a better idea of that question after republicans meet for their weekly lunch today and hash this over. This is a zombie bill right now. Its dead. Its just shuffling around on capitol hill waiting for Republican Leaders to decide whether it will die in private or public. Susan collins yesterday joined john mccain and rand paul as the three republican no votes necessary to block this bill. It came after a day full of protests here on the hill. It came after the cbo said we cant tell you much about this bill. We can tell you a whole lot of people will lose coverage. It came after rand paul again called it fake repeal. These nos sound like pretty hard nos. Listen to john mccain and Susan Collins from yesterday, tell me if you think these sound like people who may change their votes. To make this kind of Sweeping Change and deep cut just does not make sense to me. Particularly without the benefit of going through the normal process. We ought go through the regular order. We should have legislation, hearings, witnesses, votes, and then to the floor. Votes. Were not doing that now. Reporter these are not problems that can be fixed by friday. And today well find out if more republican senators oppose this bill. Ted cruz has sort of eluded to the fact hes not satisfied with it. We have not heard from lisa murkowski. We could end up with more no votes in that column by the time that republican lunch starts this afternoon. I want to bring in an awesome panel today two msnbc contributors, republican strategist steve schmit and former democratic congressman from the state of tennessee, harold ford jr. Lets start with who loses here. In theory, i believe it was donald trump who ran for president and won. Repeal and replace is something he, along with other republicans, promised over and over again. Yet today he will successfully turn this as a fail for Mitch Mcconnell but not him. 100 . You know, look, its the greatest broken political promise in american history. Why people hate politics in this country is because these people voted 65 times to repeal it when they knew there was no chance of it actually being repealed. Then at exact moment when it could be repealed, voila, theres no actual plan to repeal it. Susan collins and john mccain are exactly right. No responsible legislator can conceive by vote for this and for sure there are a lot of problems with obamacare. But the reality is no one knows how much this costs. No one knows how many people it will affect. Nobody can articulate what it will do. It is a mishmash rushed nonsense legislation that affects 100 of the people in the country, onesixth of the u. S. Economy. You could hold a gun to their heads roy moores got one. He brought it last night. They could not tell you what it does. Why will this failure only hang on Mitch Mcconnell and gop leadership and not the president of the United States . He willhardest, the president , to make that case, but it will be hard. You come from the finance word, people on both sides said it would work, some on both sides said it wont. We watched obamacare interact with the markets and the team. A big part of it is working. A number of governors, democrats, republicans alike say this is working. Were providing more healthcare providing more assistance to people who did not have assistance beforehand. The smart thing would be to do what senator mccain said, go through regular order. Go through and see whats working and whats not working. The smart thing that john mccain said. Heres what President Trump had to say about john mccain. You look at mccain, what mccain has done is a tremendous slap in the face of the Republican Party. Tremendous. You can call it what you want. That is the only reason we dont have it because of john mccain. Nobody thought he was negative vote. Can you please help me with political strategy. You are a strategic guru. Im a Public School girl. How does attacking senator john mccain, a man fighting for his life, how is that a win for the president . Its not a win for the president. Hes literally alienated every group from the nfl to prisoners of war, that you could think to name in america. He is the great divider. Its not accidental. Its purposeful. He gets up every day. Every day, premeditatively, purposely, how do i divide the American People . How do i injected toxins into the body politic for the purposes of my political tran transactional benefit. Why does it work . Why do the American People fall for threeword slogans. I disagree that it works. The overwhelming majority of the American People stand united whether republicans or independents or democrats against this. You have 35 , 36 of country. What youre reacting to and its astounding, is how many people fall for it. Its a big number in a country of 350 Million People. We should never buy into the notion that this is a majority of the country that hes speaking to. When you look at the division that he injected into the country over the weekend, ovnliovnl i overwhelming majority of americans stand against it. The selling point for donald trump is that he was a business guy, bring Business People to work on tax reform. Some say the president is not working on it at all. Since healthcare is not going to go through, how will they address tax reform . And in the latest poll 51 of americans think the tax reform will help only the wealthy. How does that serve the president s base . It doesnt. The president seems to forget you need congress to get things done. You cant take your august vacation, criticize paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell and then ask for them to work with you. Hes understanding what the beauty and majesty of the country is. We live in a country with checks and balances. He cant act as a dictator and get what he wants. How do you get tax reform . The same way he got hurricane relief, a debt ceiling increase, albei it, its temporary, you work with democrats. Even without him writing tax reform, its in the best interest. The one thing he did not put his fingers on, the president , other than writing the nomination, sending it over to congress, was neil gorsichs nomination. I got to get into one more thing before we go to break. Garrett haa kshgke, come on bac. We have to keep an eye on the house intel eligence committee. Thats where roger stone is testifying today. What do you know . Hes been Donald Trumps political svengali. His ties to the Republican Party go back to nixon. He has been Donald Trumps longest serving political adviser. He was a troll before troll was a word in our lexicon and before twitter was a thick ng we knew about. Its his m. O. To be the attack dog and the political consultant. The House Intelligence Committee is interested in him for a number of reasons. He bragged about having foreknowledge about things that wikileaks was releasing in the height of the campaign. Stone is here to eat this committee for breakfast. Hes been tweeting in advance of the moting. He posted a picture of him reading a book about rush sharks saying preparing for my house testimony tomorrow at 9 00 a. M. You are look at him arriving here. He said i will systematically go through the act words of every committee member. I will take their exact words and shove them down their throats. I will prove they have knowingly lied. This is a witness whos coming in with an agenda here today. Its worth noting that wikileaks tweeted something that they say, we have not verified this, that they say is roger stones opening statement. The mix of stone and wikileaks, russia, a closed hearing which hes laying out in those previous statements that he wants go after this committee, that could be an explosive mix here this morning. The greatest country in the world, this is what were doing what is your take on this . I know three things about the russian investigation. I know Vladimir Putin looked at our society and he intervened in our election. He purposely set out to try to divide the country. And he succeeded beyond his wildest imaginations getting the American People to turn on each other. Number one. Number two, 100 of the time, 100 of the people around donald trump have lied. Including donald trump. And have been found out very quickly thereafter about the connections to russia. We will find everything that happened. We will know with time. When we find out, i think its going to blow peoples minds. And i think that were on the edge of one of the great scandals in american history. Well see what happens. Lets let the special council do his work. Lets let the facts drive the process. Well see. But i know for sure from the president to the Vice President and on down the chain, you ask him a question about russia, they lie about it. Not 90 of the time, not 99 of the time, 100 of the time. Wow. Hope you dvrd that. You cant even follow that. I would just on the taxes, i knows there a number of people who hope they can do something on this. It would seem the president , if hes smart and politically cliffer thcliff clev clever, they would let some democratic votes get in. He cant get out of his own way. If he continues to make statements and inject himself in things he shouldnt, this presidency could continue in a downward spiral and you may even find more republicans and democrats in the congress leaving him as they move into the beginning of next year. Chaos ensues. Dont go anywhere. Breaking news just learned that the chairman and ceo of equifax is stepping down. Richard smith announcing his retirement. Extraordinary that he gets the benefit of calling it a retirement. Just moments af go after the massive data breach that exposed the personal information of nearly half of all americans. That information includes Social Security numbers, drivers licenses and credit card information. Ron insana joins me now. The word retirement, i got to tell you thashgt kills me. Retirement often means a gold watch, Cocktail Party and getting your pension. Yeah. I think we can safely as tsunami this is a forced retirement. I would doubt this is the type of thing that was voluntarily undertaken given the size of the data breach, the 143 Million People who had their private information effectively stolen by hackers. This is not type of thing that one walks away from voluntarily. Corporations have a habit of putting the best face on events like these. I cant imagine he just stepped down because the board said, you know, sure, its time for you to retire. This story is not going aing any time soon. Again, Senior Management didnt know, why didnt they . The cfo, come on. Just one day after reports that Jared Kushner used a private email account to discuss government business, new reports that more white house advisers also used private accounts. And the president unleashing a new tirade of tweets against the nfl. My question to you, why . The owner of the cowboys, jerry jones, joins his team neiling to end an actionpacked weekend of football. Just like the people who own them, every business is different. But every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. Whether it be help starting your business, vendor contracts or employment agreements. Legalzooms network of attorneys can help you every step of the way so you can focus on what you do. Well handle the legal stuff that comes up along the way. Legalzoom. Legal help is here. Kevin, meet yourkeviner. Kevin Kevin Kevin KevinKevin Kevin Kevin kevin kevin trusted advice for life. Kevin, hows your mom . Life well planned. See what a Raymond JamesFinancial Advisor can do for you. Now we have this story about kushner and apparently others in the white house. Im waiting to see the outrage on the part of republican members of congress about this. You will not see it. Was Hillary Clinton referring to a New York Times report citing former and Current White House officials who say at least six of President Trumps closest advisers occasionally used private email for official white house business. Though advisers include Jared Kushner, steve bannon, reince priebus, gary cohn, steve miller and ivanka trump. The House Oversight committee is giving the white house two weeks to identify any official using private email addresses. Kristen welker has more whafr. Reporter as you pointed out, included on that list, ivanka trump. They say she was using private email occasionally before she was officially a staffer. On Jared Kushner, they say were talking about fewer than 100 emails. All those emails from his private serve wrer forwar were o his white house account. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said all Wh White House personnel have been instructed to use official email to conduct all government related work. They are further instructeded that if they receive work related communication, they are to forward that to the white house account. They say this is notlike Hillary Clinton using her private email server. When i pressed the white house on whether the emails contained classified information, no response. That may be something we drill down on today. A lot of folks crying foul. Hillary clinton saying where is the republican outrage about all of this . President trump may have a chance to respond to this. He will be holding a joint press conference later on today with the president of spain. The one thing the president doesnt do hes not an email guy. I want to bring my panel back. Whats your take on this. Theres nothing illegal. One could call it political malpractice. This administration doesnt mind hypocrisy. You answered the question. Secretary clinton has a point that you probably wont see a lot of the similar level of outrage. The real outrage she should be looking for is from the president himself. Does he want steve miller, bannon, priebus not there anymore, his soninlaw to explain why they used public email . I never thought Hillary Clintons email thing was as serious as people said. It will be curious to see if what happens, but i dont expect the president to address this in any meaningful way. People at white house said last night this is not a big deal. We had our old email address, people would say i liked seeing you on tv, this and that. I guess i come from a place where credibility doesnt reset every sunday night at 11 00point lead and that the bank account is full for them to squander it down to zero again in the forthcoming week. The hypocrisy is astounding so is the dishonesty. What we know for sure, with those representations made to you, not 99 of the time, 1 00 of the time they lie on issues from being to small, so well see. But once again, the hypocrisy is exposed. Well see. Well find out in the next coming weeks, its more than 100 emails. Its more than six people. And the ethical morass of this place, you look at the hotel in washington, d. C. , the problem frankly that we have is that in 24 hours in a day, we dont have enough time to cover all the dishonesty. To cover all the lies. To cover all ofhit hiypocrisy hypocrisies, es mresh especialle have life and death situations going on, with puerto rico. This goes to lie light ahighlig things they do that could be worse. This is why i cant understand why the president is waging an nfl war. Hes doubling down on his latest attack specifically at the nfl and players silently protesting, a practice weve seen in this country for decades. The latest tweet that the president fired off, just moments ago, said the nfl has all sorts of rules and regulations. The only way out for them is to set a rule that you cant kneel during our national anthem, this after a controversial monday night Football Game where the dallas cowboys, americas team, along with their owner, jerry jones, took a knee briefly before the national anthem, and they were met with boos. In a show of unity, the cowboys and cardinals stood arms locked with people owners during that anthem. I have to talk about this. The president has made this about patriotism. Youre with the flag or youre not. But that is not at all whats at stake here. Ill defer to you. You said it last night on twitter. You said hes hijacking our sacred symbol. Huit hurts my heart in a way dont know that i have the words for. I choose to stand for our National Symbol in silent reverence
