>> HE'S GOING TO NEED -- >> I WANT TO GET HEIDI HALPERIN
IN HOAR. LET'S BREAK DOWN THIS HELLER
STORY. >> THE NEW YORK CITY REPORTS
MITCH McCONNELL WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE TACTICS OF SOME
SUPPORTERS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP. THEY BOUGHT UP AD TIME TO
PRESSURE SENATOR HELLER WHO FACES REELECTION.
QUOTE, THE MAJORITY LEADER ALREADY RANKLED BY MR. TRUMP'S
TWEETS GOADING HIM TO CHANGE SENATE RULES TO SCUTTLE
DEMOCRATIC FILL I BUSTERS. MR. McCONNELL, WHO HAS BEEN
TOILING FOR WEEKS, MOSTLY IN PRIVATE, TO PUT TOGETHER A
MEASURE TO SATISFY HARDLINERS AND MODERATES TOLD MR. PRIEBUS
THAT IT NOT ON JEOPARDIZED THIS BILL'S PROSPECTS BUT ALSO
IMPERILLED MR. HELLER'S ALREADY DIFFICULT REELECTION.
"THIS JUST SHOWS YOU THEY DON'T HAVE THE VOTES RIGHT NOW AND
THEY CAN'T COUNT ON MINE GOING FORWARD O ".
A CALL ARE ASKED, HOW DO YOU REASON WITH A PRESIDENT WHO LIES
97% OF THE TIME? HELLER RESPONDED IT IS
FRUSTRATED TO DEAL WITH A WHITE HOUSE THAT IS NOT 100% ACCURATE.
>> IT'S VERY POLITE OF THE SENATOR.
>> WE DO NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE PRESS BRIEFING YESTERDAY.
>> WE'LL GET TO THAT. >> WHICH WAS INCREDIBLE.
>> THE PRESS SECRETARIES ARE INCREDIBLE.
THIS WHOLE THING IS UNPRECEDENTED.
>> IT REALLY IS. >> IT'S CRAZY.
>> INCREDIBLY STUPID WOULD BE A MILD WAY TO PUT WHAT THIS
HAM-FISTED WITHOUT HAS DONE IN TREATING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
THAT THEY NEED TO PERSUADE. IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S LOST DEAN
HELLER FOR GOOD. SO TAKE THAT ONE OFF --
>> CHECK. >> CHECK.
>> I MEAN, HOW DO THEY GUEST THIS PASSED EVEN TWO WEEKS FROM
NOW WHEN THEY COME BACK FROM RECESS SM.
>> THERE'S A WILL THE OF PROCESS STUFF TO TALK ABOUT AND IT'S
CERTAINLY PART OF THE STORY. TO ME THE BIG ARE THING IS AND
THIS APPLIES TO DEAN HELLER AS MUCH AS IT DOES TO TED CRUZ OR
MIKE LEE, THEY'RE NOT SELLING A PRODUCT, THEY'RE SELLING THE
CONCEPT OF, WELL, WE CAN'T FAIL BECAUSE WE HATE OBAMACARE AND WE
HAVE TO PASS THIS SO WE CAN MOVE ON.
THE WHITE HOUSE, MITCH McCONNELL, YOU DON'T HEAR THEM
TALKING WITH PASSION ABOUT IMPROVING THE HEALTH CARE OF
AMERICANS AND EXPLAINING WITH REALITY THAT THERE WILL BE SOME
LOSERS AND THERE WILL BE SOME WINNERS BUT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE
JUST DROWNING IN ALL THIS PROCESS STUFF.
>> SO, MARK, CAN WE JUST AGAIN JUST STRIP THIS DOWN?
I THINK ALAPUNDIT TWEETED THIS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
IT WAS SORT OF A JOKE BUT I THINK THIS DOES MORE TO CUT
THROUGH WHERE REPUBLICANS ARE RIGHT NOW.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO REORDER ONE-FIFTH OR ONE-SIXTH
OF THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND IMPACT 300 MILLION AMERICANS'
HEALTH CARE OPTIONS ALL IN A HAPHAZARD WAY SO THEY COULD RUSH
THROUGH AND SCOOP UP ENOUGH SAVINGS AND LET'S JUST SAY IT,
TAKING IT FROM THE POOR IN MEDICAID, SO THEY COULD GET
ENOUGH SAVINGS, SO THEY COULD HAVE A TAX REFORM BILL WHERE
THEY GAVE AWAY BIG TAX CUTS AND DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH
WRECK SILL -- WRECK HILL --
RECONCILIATION. THE REPUBLICAN DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT THE SYSTEM. THEY WANT THE TAX CUTS AND OFF
CAMERA, THEY ADMITTED AS MUCH. WE JUST HAVE TO PASS SOME HEALTH
CARE BILL AND GET SOME SAVINGS AND THEN WE CAN DO A TAX REFORM
BILL WITHOUT RECONCILIATION. IS IT ANY DOUBT THEY TAKE ON THE
TOUGHEST SUBJECT IN A HAPHAZARD WAY?
I'M GOING TO CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST RIGHT AFTER I FINISH SMOKING A
CARTON OF CIGARETTES. >> YOU HAVE ALL THESE GROUPS
LIKE THE AMA AGAINST THE SENATE BILL, YOU HAVE THE LOUDEST
VOICES, THE ACCIDENT IBS ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT AND DON'T
HAVE ANYBODY IN THE PARTY OUT THERE SPEAKING INCLUDING THE --
>> BUT, MARK, WHAT I SAID,
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD THAT? WE HAVE TO PASS SOME HEALTH CARE
BILL SO WE CAN GET TO TAX REFORM.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT HEALTH CARE, IT ABOUT TAX REFORM.
>> AND IT WE HAVE TO GET PAST THIS.
YOU CANNOT REORDER THIS MUCH OF THE ECONOMY, YOU CANNOT SCARE SO
MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THE REAL LIFE CONSEQUENCES WITHOUT A BIG
NATIONAL CONVERSATION THAT SAYS HERE'S WHY THIS IS GOING TO MKE
PEOPLE'S LIVES ON BALANCE BETTER.
THEY'RE DROWNING ON PROCESS AND SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR THINGS
AREN'T EVEN BEING DISCUSSED. THE POTENTIALLY POPULAR THINGS
THEY'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO SELL. >> THE RATIONAL FOR MANY
REPUBLICANS HAS BEEN WE'VE GOT TO VOTE ON SOMETHING, AT LEAST,
BECAUSE WE MADE THIS PROMISE LAST FALL AND ALL OF LAST YEAR,
WE WERE GOING TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE.
SO, YES, THE VOTE HAS BEEN DELAYED BUT WHEN WE GET BACK
FROM THE JULY 4th RECESS, DOES NOT MITCH McCONNELL AT LAST HAVE
TO GET THIS TO THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE SO HE CAN SAY TO HIS VOTERS
AND RAND PAUL CAN SAY TO HIS VOTERS, WE TRIED, WE TRIED TO
APPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE BUT THESE FEW SENATORS BLOCKED US
FROM DOING IT? >> IT'S BEEN THE MOTTO OF
REPUBLICANS, EVEN IN THE PAST WAS LET'S TRY AND APPEAL TO THE
IRON FIST OF THE TEA PARTY AND THEN WE CAN SAY AT THE END OF IT
WHEN IT GOES DOWN IN FLAMES AT LEAST WE TRIED.
THE NUMBERS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD NOW AND THEY MAY BE EVEN WORSE
WHEN THEY GET BACK JUST BECAUSE SOME OF THE REPUBLICANS WANTED
TO BE ON THE RECORD AFTER THE FACT BECAUSE THEY WERE AGAINST
IT, THE REASON WHY, 20 STATES WHERE THERE'S REPUBLICAN
SENATORS, WHERE MEDICAID WAS EXPANDED AND GET WHAT ONE OF
THOSE STATES IS, SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL'S STATE WHERE ONE
THIRD OF RECIPIENT, ONE THIRD OF THE POPULATION IS ON MEDICAID.
YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHETHER HIS HEART IS EVEN IN THIS.
I KNOW SOME OF THE VERY GROUPS WOULD BE AFFECTED LIKE THE
COAL MINERS.
THEY HAD THE TEN POOREST COUNTIES IN AMERICA AND
SOMETHING LIKE SEVEN OF THEM WERE FROM KENTUCKY.
MITCH McCONNELL, HE'S JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS.
>> MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE, THEY'RE ABOUT TO TAKE A FOURTH OF JULY
BREAK. THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM A LOT
OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PARENT UNDER MEDICARE, MEDICAID.
. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 1/6 OF THE
ECONOMY. PEOPLE LIVE IT EACH AND EVERY
DAY WITH THE INCREASING COSTS OF MEDICAL CARE.
BUT IN NORMAL TIMES WE'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED OVER THE YEARS TO
THINK, OKAY, THINGS ARE NOW IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, THAT'S
WHERE THE ADULTS ARE, THE TEA PARTY ISN'T RUNNING RAMPANT IN
THE SENATE THE WAY THEY ARE IN THE HOUSE.
BUT IF YOU SPEAK TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AT THE STAFF LEVEL, THEY
WILL TELL YOU ONE OF THE ELEMENTS HERE IS THE SHADOW OF
MERRICK GARLAND.
NEITHER SIDE WILL COME TO FIX THIS.
>> THE GARLAND EFFECT IS THE SAME.
WE'LL FROM JUSTICE KENNEDY WHAT HE MAY
OR MAY NOT DO. AT LEAST THERE'S BEEN A GREATER
EDUCATION AROUND MEDICAID. MEDICAID HAS HAD THIS STIGMA AS
SOMETHING THAT POOR PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.
WE'VE LEARNED THAT NURSING HOMES, MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICANS
RELY HEAVILY ON MEDICARE DOLLARS.
HER ANSWER WAS FORCEFUL, SWIFT AND GENUINE.
YOU HAVE TO HOPE THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE HEADED.
I'M WORRIED JOE'S OVERALL THESIS HERE COULD BE ONE THAT COULD
CONTINUE TO PERVADE THE WHITE HOUSE WHERE YOU HEARD SUSAN
COLLINS ECHO THIS WHITE HOUSE JUST DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO WORK
WITH CONGRESS AND THEIR IDEA OF WORKING WITH CONGRESS IS YOU
BETTER DO THIS. AND GROWN MEN AND WOMEN ELECTED
ARE NOT GOING TO REACT POSITIVELY.
>> ESPECIALLY IN A DICTATORSHIP. >> AND A PRESIDENT WHO HAS A 36%
RATING IN POLLS. HE CAN LOOK AT POLLS THAT ARE
WITCHCRAFT AND SAY LOOK, I'M AT 58%.
THE SENATORS KNOWS HE AT 35%, 36%.
HE'S LOST 25% THE REPUBLICAN BASE AND HE'S A GUY THAT THEY
CAN GO UP AGAINST BUT, MIKA, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF
REPUBLICANS YESTERDAY SAYING IF WE DON'T GET THIS DONE, WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO WORK WITH DEMOCRATS.
WELL, WORK WITH DEMOCRATS. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK
WITH DEMOCRATS BECAUSE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS UNDERSTAND
THEY NEED MEDICAID FOR THE POOREST AMONG THEM.
>> NOT EVEN THE POOREST. >> THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. THE POOREST AND TALKING ABOUT
RURAL HOSPITALS, AS YOU SAID, TALKING ABOUT OUR PARENTS AND
GRANDPARENTS DEPEND ON MEDICAID AND, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
WORK WITH DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET BOTH
THE MODERATES AND THE FREEDOM CAUCUS TOGETHER.
>> I THINK EVERYBODY CAME INTO THIS THINKING THIS PRESIDENT
PITCHED THAT HE COULD MAKE DEALS.
HE HAS CLEARLY PROVED HE CANNOT. >> HE CAN'T MAKE DEALS WITHIN
HIS OWN PARTY. >> HE CAN'T EVEN MAKE A DEAL
WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY WHEN THEY'RE IN CHARGE.
THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE. >> I THINK SENATOR LINDSEY
GRAHAM HAD ONE OF THE QUOTES OF THE WEEK WHEN HE SAID IF YOU'RE
WAITING FOR THE PRESIDENT TO HAVE YOUR BACK, YOU BETTER WATCH
IT. >> YOUR OWN PRESIDENT, YOUR OWN
PARTY. >> IT WASN'T DIRECTLY FROM THE
PRESIDENT BUT THIS PRO-TRUMP GROUP WAS GOING TO SPEND $1.3
MILLION AND RUN TV AD AGAINST A REPUBLICAN.
>> BECAUSE HE'S NOT SURE HE'S GOING TO VOTE FOR A HEALTH CARE
BILL THAT THE PRESIDENT CALLED --
>> FAILURE AT A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. >> THERE'S A FRONT PAGE PIECE IN
"THE WASHINGTON POST" TODAY POINTING OUT WHAT EVERYBODY IN
THE COUNTRY KNOWS. THIS PRESIDENT, ANY PRESIDENT,
YOU'RE WITH HIM EITHER BECAUSE YOU FEAR HIM OR YOU LOVE HIM.
NOBODY FEARS HIM AND VERY FEW PEOPLE LOVE HIM OTHER THAN HIS
OWN FAMILY AND THE UNITE
