It's Mitch McConnell Monday a majority leader will sit down with the president in vice president today
For what they're calling a working lunch if we're successful Mitch McConnell's fine if we're not we're all in trouble
There's a time and season for everything and right now
It's a season of war against a GOP establishment the sergeant bowe bergdahl is expected to plead guilty to charges of desertion
misbehaving before the enemy and
Endangering his fellow soldiers to me justice is life in prison President Trump is ending Obama care subsidies to insurance companies
This is the equivalent of a health care arson
he is
Literally setting the entire healthcare system on fire the president's not gutting the Affordable Care Act what the president's focus on middle class families
Who are paying thirty to forty thousand dollars a year for premiums?
He's calling it. The know fairly Colin Kapernick filing a grievance accusing NFL owners of colluding to keep them off the league respect our country
Respect our flag I gave him the great legislator stuff promotions a terrible thing, but clearly somebody has to do it
We're glad you're happy to be here
Okay, yeah, maybe sick we wish you all the best Brian will be check in on you later. That's right
Thank you very much for joining us here on this Monday morning
As we just heard in the cold open Grif depicted today as Mitch McConnell Monday because the president United States and Mitch McConnell
They've got a crazy relationship
Well, they're gonna have lunch today, and they got lots to talk about although
They did apparently talk together on the phone on Saturday. We talked about taxes
They talked about the budget, and they talked about it looks like health care
I was surprised this meeting didn't happen earlier when the health care when they didn't get repeal and replace after three tries
I'm surprised that the president say get your tail in my office now
I think there was a cooling down period effort maybe they needed that the president's saying you couldn't get anything done for me
so instead he took two you might say his pen and his phone took some executive actions on the Iranian deal decertification this week as
well as
Selling health care across state lines if you can't repeal and replace Obamacare
He said we're gonna create associations so that individual Americans can get cheaper plans because Obamacare is crushing them
I read a number of articles online over the weekend that talked about how this president is trying to
Erase all traces of Barack Obama's legacy
You know regarding those things Iran and also health care look the Democrats are all
Invested in the health care and Nancy Pelosi was on this week over the weekend where she made it very clear
They would like to do something - particularly extend those
insurance company bailouts, which the president calls them or subsidies as the Democrats call them because they
The Democrats feel that's the only way to have affordable health care going forward. Yes, Senator Chris Murphy
Also was speaking out about it over the weekend here of both of them Nancy Pelosi and Senator Murphy both obviously Democrats listen to this
What he's doing is hurting the American people isn't about policy. We have a path in the Senate
Democrat at least I wonder if he even knows
What that path is?
Because from what he says it doesn't sound like he has knowledge knows the facts basis his decision on evidence
They have the majority in the House and the Senate and the president's signature
They have the power to keep government open. This is the equivalent of a health care arson
He is literally setting the entire health care system on fire
Just because the president is upset that the United States Congress won't pass a repeal bill
That is supported by seventeen percent of the American public
Okay, newsflash. I don't remember anybody saying in the last couple of years. You know Obamacare is working great. Yeah obviously
they've had to do something and now the president has just
gotten frustrated with Mitch McConnell and company not being able to do anything in the Senate side of the
Congress, and so what's he gonna? Do he's gonna cut off those subsidies. He's just pushing for a hard bargain
This is what he does he negotiates me
He forces their hand that's right
And you you talked about the Obama legacy right President Obama set out to fundamentally transform
America which a lot of voters and Americans didn't want because they love America president Trump's trying to restore it in health care the markets
Are so distorted premiums have gone up so bad choices are so limited you have to take dramatic actions if you want to restore market-based
solutions that bring costs down
So President Trump because Mitch McConnell couldn't get it done in the Senate took to his pan and said we're gonna allow people to form
These associations, but the Democrats are so it's so predictable
They impute the motives, and they say no you're hurting the American people you hate people right here
Literally Chris Murphy needs to check the name the the definition of the word literally not literally setting anything on fire
He's giving people real and new choices well conservative
Groups are now asking for Mitch McConnell to step down so going back to that working legend
They're gonna have today Steve Bannon was giving a speech on Saturday over the weekend to a group of
Conservative religious type people and he said he needs to step down we need a new leadership
Listen to us. It's a season of war against a GOP establishment
We need to move with urgency
the president United States deserves respect and deserves their support
And you can come to a stick a microphone and you can say I am NOT gonna vote for Mitch McConnell for Majority Leader
See now what he's talking about right there as we do talk about the war on the Republican establishment
And we've put that picture of Mitch McConnell because clearly he is in Steve bannon's
Crosshairs because there are there are seven
Incumbent Republican senators up for reelection he is targeting six of the seven the only one he likes is Ted Cruz
but the two conditions for the
Requirements for the Senators is they've got to end this filibuster vote to end the filibuster and the other one is they've got to disavow
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, they got to say you know what he's not doing a good job. He's got to go well
I knew Stevie Annan had a lot of power obviously working in the White House
I didn't know he had this much power we winning went to Alabama to
Talk about Jeff Sessions Senate seat that was available
He won that election or his guy did and now he's going on this on this
I guess across America tour to try to get rid of the leadership in the government and it might work because it's not just the
Power of Steve Banta it's the power of the grassroots you go to any grassroots event these days
And I speak at a good number of them there. There's no constituency for Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan right now
there's constituency for president Trump and
Overturning the system that isn't working right now
This will be a midterm election
referendum on Mitch McConnell Steve Bannon
Understands that they also know there's 10 vulnerable Democratic states in the Senate
So they've got an opportunity to pick up seats if they run the right I liked what Lindsey Graham said over the weekend
He said you know McConnell's not the only problem. We all are the problem
He said we have failed we promised to repeal
Obamacare repeal and replace we failed we promised to cut taxes yet to do it
We are in trouble, and we might lose the majority sure that's true McConnell is just the face of failure
Responsibility, which just flies in the face of the hand they've got I mean they've got the majority in the Senate and in the house
And they own the White House, and they can't get anything done. Maybe they just don't want this president to succeed
I mean that there's also this abiding sense that maybe didn't play their game their way
So why should he get the wins Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel was on?
One of the shows this weekend, and they were yes, and the reporter was asking him if he regrets what he said listen to this
It's a bit of a risk that you're taking talking about that stuff. You might lose the audience like three years ago. I was
equally liked by Republicans and Democrats in the Republican went
Down like 30% or whatever and you know as a talk-show host that's not ideal
But I did I would do it again in a heartbeat, so you don't mind if Republicans turn off your show
I don't say don't mind. I mean I love for everyone
I want everyone with the television to watch the show, but if they're so turned off by my
opinion on
health care and gun violence then I
Don't know I probably won't want to have a conversation with them. Anyway. Good riddance. Well not good riddance but riddance
Being funny to the very end so there he is he's doubling down. He's saying
I do not regret the fact that I have gotten political on my show keep in mind
What was it 20 years ago when Johnny Carson was maybe it was 30 years ago when Johnny Carson was there at the?
Tonight Show
You know you couldn't really tell his politics because he just was an equal opportunity to change Joker
About all that stuff and now you turn on the late nights, and it does late night does certainly tilt to the left. Yeah well
Thank you so much money right now. He probably is at a point in his life where he says
I don't care if I lose the audience
I have enough in the bank
And he sees this as a platform for his son and to speak out for people who other kids who don't have the luxury of
It's not bold or courageous to speak the group think
What everyone else thinks just to dispute Democratic talking points
They want to preach at
America because they look down at America so you can't watch Jimmy Kimmel and have different views on the Second Amendment or how healthcare should
Be delivered even if you have empathy for his child and what he's going through
The real boldness would be a community that stands up and makes fun of Nancy Pelosi saying I'm a great leader
I'm a master legislator like that's hilarious
Make fun of that just has to make sure he understands the health care bill because if he's listening to Chuck Schumer
And that's what the reports are saying that they're good friends, and he's just saying his talking points
But Chuck Schumer was the one whom we aired that soundbite last week who said with a tax reform deal
But taxes are going to go up for
The poorest people and down for the richest people if you read the tax the tax plan that's not at all what it says
So he just got he has to be careful if he's gonna trust Chuck Schumer sure with health care
Yeah, so let us know have you started watching less late-night television now that it has become more political
Or do you love it?
Just let us know friends at foxnews.com
You could tweet us, or you could Facebook Goodwin late-night - laughs right Jillian, and we wanted to watch football without
What's happen do any of that so now we're here on the Monday and hopefully we can be your escape
we do though guys begin with a fox news alerts and serious news happening right now a
Desperate search for a missing person after a massive explosion at an offshore
oil rig in Louisiana at least seven people hurt in the blast on Lake Pontchartrain
That's just outside New Orleans people who live nearby describing the scary moments as it all went down
We were just sitting in my house and the whole entire house shook things fell off tables
Sounded like a bomb dropping
Officials think cleaning chemicals somehow triggers a blast
Firefighters say they finally turned a corner in the deadliest blazes in California history
Calmer winds helping to contain the wine-country wildfires 15 though still burning throughout the state
Thousands of homes have already been destroyed and at least 40 people are dead
But a sign of hope among the destruction firefighters finding this untouched American flag
Surrounded by burned-out homes and ash in just hours President Trump will be back on the campaign trail the commander-in-chief
hoping to help Republicans, South Carolina
Governor Henry McMaster pick up steam to keep his seat the president will headline a campaign fundraiser from McMaster in Greenville today in
November all but 15 of South Carolina's 46 counties went to president Trump
Says she's gonna donate to Harvey Weinstein's campaign donations, but what about all the cash? He gave to the Clinton Foundation?
oh and remember when Nancy Pelosi said this I
Think I'm a great legislator
Self-promotion is a terrible thing but clearly somebody has to do it
Clearly well this morning. She's doubling down. We are not kidding. I'm so glad she did it
I think that the biggest evidence for lack of experience in a job is the President of the United States
I think I'm a great legislator
Self-promotion is a terrible thing but clearly somebody has to do it
Nancy Pelosi taking a hit at President Trump while bragging about herself right first. She was a master legislator now
She's great, but if she's such a great legislator
Why is?
Obamacare such a failure isn't it time for the president to cut off?
Congress as well here to discuss is assistant editorial page editor for The Wall Street Journal and Fox News contributor
James Freeman so James we haven't seen a whole lot of good come out of
What Obamacare is done to the health care market yet? She declares herself a great legislator. Yeah, I'm not so great for
taxpayers for patients for consumers who see the premiums going up
but in terms of achievement she did manage to get this thing through the house in 2010 and
ended up
63 of her colleagues as a result were no longer in Congress again after that fall's election
But I think for the Republicans you have to say she
Did manage to get it done
Then now their job is to try and roll it back
When the president made the decision to end the subsidies for insurers many of Democrats had comments some were act of pure malice
Spiteful the worst thing this administration has done on the own health care yet. What are your thoughts?
Yeah
This rhetoric is so over-the-top these payments were flat-out illegal a not Donald Trump
A federal judge said these are never appropriated by Congress the Obama
administration decided on its own to make these payments
unconstitutional gotta stop, so he's following the law he's
Which I would think ought to be he ought to be lauded for but
the the truth is the subsidies will continue through other parts of Obamacare so
This isn't really saving as much money
But I think it's a signal that he is
Determined to change this law James you say there's another way to make Congress really feel it
And it's the illegal subsidies for members of Congress
I mean they get their own subsidies through Obamacare could that be changed yeah
So the when they were about working on Obamacare Senator Chuck Grassley said
Well, let's let's eat our own cooking here
Let's force members of Congress and their staffs to actually go into these Changez and get health care
And I don't think it anyone probably wanted that in Congress
But they couldn't really say no once he put it on the table. Well, then after it was passed the President President Obama had his
Administration ruled that they could subsidize these plants
Which the law said they couldn't so this is really one that would hurt Congress
I think would motivate them, and I think the president ought to move forward with it. We'll see if he dies all right
Thank you James Freeman assistant editor editorial page Wall Street
Journal and Fox News contributor makes a ton of sense almost a cuvette sex you had two
Members of Congress had used the VA the VA have been fixed a long time ago
Yeah, yeah, thank you very much
James appreciate all right well former White House chief of staff Steve Bannon declaring open season on the Republican establishment
There's a time and season for everything
And right now. It's a season of war against a GOP establishment
So it's draining the swamp really the only way for the President to get anything done. We're gonna debate that next
Quick headlines for you and a Fox News Alert more than
300 people are dead following the deadliest attack in Somalia's history the government
blaming the Al qaeda-linked group Al Shabab for the truck bomb that exploded into a crowded street in the city of
Mogadishu the capital that happened on Saturday the u.s.
Is calling the attack cowardly and what could have been another major attack?
foiled police stopped a would-be suicide truck bomber in Afghanistan's capital
finding two bombs hidden under boxes of
Tomatoes the truck also carrying nearly three tons of explosives in 30 containers the driver tried to get away
But was shot and injured by police Steve. Thanks
Seriously today President Trump is said to have lunch with Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell to figure a path forward as Steve Bannon warns the establishment and calls for Mitch McConnell's removal
It's a season of war against a GOP establishment
We need to move with urgency
the president United States deserves respect and deserves their support
And you can come to a stick a microphone and you can say I am NOT gonna vote for Mitch McConnell for Majority Leader
but is that the only way to get anything done in Washington here for a
Conversation this morning, we've got Katrina Pierson
She is a spokesperson for America first policies in Alex Co net the former communications director for Senator Marco Rubio
Good morning, both of you. Good morning Steve. All right Katrina. Let's start with you. What do you think of Steve Ben's?
Solution to get people on board with the Trump agenda in Washington
blow up the Republican Party establishment
Well, I think Steve it's not the only thing that needs to be done as far as draining the swamp, but it's definitely the beginning
You know we've had a leadership in this country for a very long time that has failed to lead
On these particular topics, and this is a movement that's been going on for the last 10 years
This is not brand new
Mitch mcconnell's someone who's been in office for three decades and can't seem to get the job done
And you have to ask yourself after november when you had a candidate who ran on repealing and replacing Obamacare
And flipped blue states to red right
Why can't we get this done considering the legislation had already passed under President Obama by Republicans all right Alex
She makes a good point
Why can't the Republicans get anything done in Washington?
Forget you say that they got the house to get the White House look. I couldn't I completely share
Katrina's frustration with the current process
I mean It's inexcusable that Republicans haven't passed anything yet
The reason they haven't passed anything yet is because they have such a slim majority in the Senate
We only have a two seat majority, so if we lose two or three senators
Then we're gonna lose on any given boat and that's exactly what happened on health care reform
Where you had three senators vote against it. This is not Mitch McConnell's fault Mitch McConnell is
100% supportive of the President's agenda and has done everything he can to try to get a pass in fact the one singular issue that
President Trump has delivered on so far the support
