bill cassidy, lied to jimmy kimmel's face saying that senator cassidy said she would not support a bill to cause anyone to lose health care coverage. >> now, i don't know what happened to bill cassidy but when he was on this publicity tour he listed demands for a health care bill very clearly. these were his words. he said he wants coverage for all. no discrimination based on preexisting conditions. lower premiums for middle class families and no lifetime caps. guess what. new bill does none of those things. so, not only did bill cassidy fail the jimmy kimmel test, he failed his own test. and this guy, bill cassidy, just lied right to my face. >> tonight, president trump tweeted in senator cassidy's defense saying, senator, dr. bill cassidy is a class act that cares about people and health care. he doesn't lie, just wants to help people. so, a proven liar says that bill cassidy doesn't lie. just wants to help people. jimmy kimmel says that he lied to my face. so, who are you going to believe? the graham/cassidy bill followed the president to the united nations today. >> is graham/cassid

bill cassidy tweeted back, under the bill states must ensure that individuals with preexisting conditions have access to adequate and affordable insurance, but this debate will continue in the days ahead. >> president trump's past bluster with north korea has been met with pyongyang so why is it so quiet in north korea after the president threatened to destroy that country? we're live next. ah, dinner. throughout history, the one meal when we come together, break bread, share our day and connect as a family.

care plan put forth by senators lindsey graham and bill cassidy. the senate finance committee is meeting monday to look at that proposal. the senate stands in recess until monday, for the rest of the week, senators are back home for state work period. live coverage of the senate when it returns here on c-span2. republican and democratic leaders spoke earlier today with reporters about the latest effort to repeal parts of the affordable care act. here is a look at that starting with senate republicans. >> well, good afternoon, everyone. i expect you already know that we spent lunch talking about gram-cassidy. lots of interest in the bill that senator cassidy and senator graham have been working on. i asked them to join today and lead off. so have at it, guys. >> number one, i never felt

i guarantee he doesn't know anything about this graham/cassidy bill. he doesn't know the difference between medicare and medicaid. he barely knows the difference between melania and ivanka. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] this morning senator cassidy, there's a lot ofible in this, he went on fox news to fight back. he again said that i don't understand what i'm talking about because we haven't spoken for a he was on my show four months ago. but i don't know what the point of speaking to him is. we spoke, he told me one thing, he did another, are we supposed to do that again? people tell me give him the benefit of the doubt and i do give him the benefit the doubt -- i doubt all the benefits he claims are part of the new health care bill. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but i do want to say about bill cassidy, i do admire what he's done with most of his life. he's a doctor, gastroenterologist, founded a community clinic, he's done good thing. i want him to keep doing good things, this plan is not a good thing. his supporters say, he's a doctor,

not only did it fail the jimmy kimmel test, he failed the bill cassidy test. he failed his own test. this bill is worse than the one that thank god, republicans like susan collins and lisa murkowski and john mccain torpedove oed they have the good sense to do that. these other guys who claim they want americans to have better health care. even though eight years ago they didn't want they will to have health care at all. they're trying to do this without an natural sfris the bipartisan budget office. they don't even want you to see it. they're having one heg.inarread in a homeland committee and the chairman agreed to allow two witnesses. bill cassidy is that lindsey graham to speak. health care is complicated. it is boring. i don't want to talk about it. the details are confusing and thathat they're relying w's on. they're counting on you to be so overwhelmed. that you'll count they will to take care of you and we're looking at our i ungrtansam lik they're voting whether people can afford to keep their wmohoen alive. will vote this probably won't even read it.

this guy, bill cassidy lied to my face. now all eyes on possible gopouts like lisa murkowski. >> alaska's governor doesn't like your plan. he wants you to go to a burn bipartisan approach. >> there is zero possibility. in a bipartisan manner to replace obamacare. >> president trump at the u.n. told his party to pass the plan oval office, silt down at my desk. there would be a health care bill on my desk to be honest. >> senate rules give republicans until next saturday to pass the health care bill with a simple majority. that's why this plan, is suddenly on the fast track. anthony, with no time for the congressional budget office to determine how many people might lose coverage. >> moving overseas, the investigation of the london terror bombing has revealed a disturbing fact. just how easy it is to buy bomb components on line. mark fiphillips reports. >> reporter: the main explosive in the london subway bombing didn't go off. building a bomb is complicated. an investigation revealed, getting ingredients needed to make a sim

the new bill does none of those things. this guy, bill cassidy, just lied right to my face. do you believe that every american regardless of income should be able to get regular checkups, maternity care, et cetera, all of those things that people who have health care get and need? >> yep. >> so yep is washington for nope, i guess. stop using my name, okay? i don't want my name on it. there's a new jimmy kimmel test for you, and it's called the lie detector test and you are welcome to stop by the studio and take it anytime. >> harsh words, and joining us now is senator bill cassidy. what is your response? >> i am sorry he doesn't understand. more people will have coverage and we protest those with pre-existing conditions. states like maine, virginia, florida, missouri, there will be billions more dollars to provide health insurance coverage for those in those states who have been passed by obamacare and we protect those with pre-existing conditions. >> the counter argument will be pre-existing conditions will be up to the pricing of the particular state and market. it's not w

not only did bill cassidy fail the jimmy kimmel test, he failed the bill cassidy test. he failed his own test. you don't see that happen very much. and this guy, bill cassidy, just lied right to my face. call your congress person. 202-224-3121. you can't just click "like" on this video. tell them this bill doesn't pass your test. >> the co-sponsor of the bill lindsey graham was asked for his response. >> i wish he would have asked senator cassidy if it's true. he bought it hook, line and sinker and i don't like the idea of calling this good man a liar without ever talking to him first. that really says more about mr. kimmel than dr. cassidy. >> but states would be able to cover people with pre-existing conditions -- >> that's garbage. that's absolute garbage. >> the legislation specifically says that the state applying for a waiver would have to ensure that those with pre-existing conditions would have access to adequate and affordable coverage. >> senator tim kaine was the democratic vice presidential candidate in 2016. so you saw your colleagues call this idea that th

and senator bill cassidy, one of the co-sponsors of the graham/cassidy bill now moving in the senate, went on jimmy kimmel's show talked about this and promised to adhere to the jimmy kimmel test. here is what jimmy kimmel has said tonight in the taping of his show that will air later tonight. >> this is a bad bill. don't take my word for it. here are just some of the organizations that oppose this graham/cassidy bill. the american cancer society. the american diabetes association. american heart association. american lung association. the arthritis foundation. >> i cystic fibrosis. multiple sclerosis society. children's hospital. any group you've given money to thinks this is a bad idea. do you trust them, or do you trust him? if this bill isn't good enough for you, call your congress person. that's the number. it will go to your congress person, whoever he or she is. you have to do this. you can't just click like on this video. tell them this bill doesn't pass your test. senator cassidy, you were on my show, you seemed like a decent guy. here's the thing. nobody outside of your budd

bill cassidy is one of them. there was a strong letter from the governor of louisisiana against this bill, and he is not going to change his mind on that. amy: j john mccain will sisincee governor of arizona said he would support this. >> right. he is one to watch. john mccain's gripes about this bill are a lot about process as well a substance. the process they're using to force this bill to the floor before the end of the month is a little crazy. sort of a crude imitation of regular order. they have all of the pieces, but not complete. they're getting a cbo score next week, but he won include information on how many people could lose their health insurance or whether premiums would go out or down under this bill because the cbo does not have time to make that analysis. they're going to have a single hearing, potentially mere days before a vote, and that is in the finance committee. the top democrat, ron wyden, has said he was not consulted at all about setting up the hearing and called it a sham process. that i

bill cassidy invited him into it. he said that the bill would have to pass the jimmy kimmel test. jimmy kimmel says i now have to know what's in this bill because you're putting my name on it. that's what got him thrust into it. he's not doing this for ratings, and he's not doing this for attention. he's doing this for the heart that was in his son that he had to get repaired and he's feeling the same way about other people's hearts. that's what he's involved with. he's not doing it for attention. he's a really honest, decent guy trying to do this. and his past as a comedian is garbage that's being thrown at him by people that are trying to undermine the legitimate point he's making. and people like matt are just trying to undermine that because they know he's being effective and they're trying to throw anything at him that's really is, i think, completely illegitimate. >> the fact that he's being effective is again my point from earlier. see, i think it was -- even though i agree with my friend matt on the substance of this, i don't agree with the attack on jimmy kimmel because p

minutespent seven criticizing cassidy over the bill. you might recall kimmel made a passionate plea for health care after his infant son had open heart surgery. four months ago, cassidy came on his show and promised a bill that would pass the jimmy kimmel test come which is no family should be denied medical care because they cannot afford it. kimmel had this to say last night. jimmy: and this guy, bill cassidy, lied right to my face. do you believe that every american, regardless of income, should be able to get regular checkups, maternity care, all of those things that people who have health care get and need? senator cassidy: yep.

bill cassidy is going to walk you through the details. rick santorum will tell us how history is on our side, ron johnson will discuss numbers, and we will discuss how this is a good deal for -- the countries as a whole. if you believe repealing and replacing obamacare is a good idea, this is your best and only chance to make it happen. every thing else fails, except this approach, which will work if we get behind it. healths a single-payer care system, this is your worst nightmare. bernie. this injured dream of a single-payer health care system people ona -- we need board now to stop what i think is inevitable if we fail, which is single-payer health care for all, which is the end of quality and the end of a sustained federal judge it. there are three choices. part -- prop up obamacare, bernie care, or our bill. that's where he worked at -- that's where ou're. cap -- you're at. count me in for an idea that has a patient choice they would never hair -- here on single-payer health care. count on my dutch people in my state making decisions

is it bill cassidy or jimmy kimmel? >> exactly where we all expected to end up nine months into the hell care debate. look, both have points that are accurate here, but jimmy kimmel is probably more on the side of right here. again, nuance is important and there are specific designs in this bill. as i noted, state flexibility is something that republicans, conservatives have been pushing very hard. it's the kind of essential idea behind changing the subsidies structure spiral, sending block grants to the states and letting states design their own systems. but in that flexibility becomes a reduction of the regulations. the regulations that make sure guaranteed cams are there, that make sure price protections are maintained and on the idea of more people being covered, don, the way this bill is drafted, the way these block grants will go out, the way medicaid will change from an open-ended sbietment, the spending will go down. if spending goes down, states are going to have to make very difficult decisions about coverage.

jimmy kimmel spent 7 minutes excoriating bill cassidy over this bill. called him a liar. you'll recall kimmel made a passionate plea for healthcare after his infant son had open heart surgery. four months ago -- cassidy came on his show and promised a bill that passes the "jimmy kimmel test" -- which is "no family should be denied medical care, emergency or otherwise because they can't afford it." well... kimmel said this last night - kimmel urged viewers to call their congress and vote down the health bill. the monologoue was trending worldwide overnight. it's 5: and time for a check on weather. - maria heading towards puerto rico. landfall just a few hours awa - still a category 5. max winds 165 mph - unseasonably warm weather ahead - fall arrives friday at 4:02 pm - dry through the weekend today: mostly sunny. warm and muggy. highs: 85-88 winds: nw 5-10 mph tonight: clear to partly cloudy. patchy fog. lows: 63-68 winds: nw 5 mph thursday: mostly sunny to partly cloudy. highs: 84-87 winds: nw 5 mph kidd o'shea in the now.. if you're searching online for news about avril

this guy, bill cassidy just lied right to my face. when senator cassidy was on my show in may, he told me that he believed that every american family, regardless of income should be able to get quality healthcare, and i believed he was sincere. sadly, the bill he unveiled last week with senator lindsey graham indicates that he was not sincere. it is, by many accounts, the worst healthcare bill yet. brian: your thoughts? >> yeah. so jimmy doesn't understand not because he is a talk show host because we have never spoken. he has only heard from those on the left doing their best to preserve obamacare. he has not heard from me. we have not spoken. i would love to talk to him about this. ainsley: he said you were on his show. >> i was on his show a year ago. everything i said is true. how do you pay for it without break the bank and how do you take care of those providing insurance? our bill does that gives billions of states like maine, virginia, and missouri so the low -- that their states don't have right now, that those lower income f

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 pre-existing 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. it's moving and you think cost, good point but it's not the best way to make public policy. and bill cassidy from louisiana, he's 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 there's 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 tha

last week bill cassidy and senator lindsey graham propose add new bill, the graham/cassidy bill and it passes the jimmy kimmel test, but a different jimmy kimmel test. this one, your child with a preexisting condition gets the care he needs if and only if his father is jimmy kimmel. otherwise, you might be screwed. this guy, bill cassidy, just lied right to my face. >> here's cassidy's response today. >> do you think that this legislation passes the jimmy kimmel test? >> absolutely. >> he called you a liar last night. >> a personal attack anned i can't help that but can say if you're in texas or in maine, in virginia, missouri they'll be resources in your state that you did not have to provide you coverage and we have protections from pre-existing conditions. >> i'm joined now by republican senator ron johnson of wisconsin, of course, one of the big four co-sponsors, whose name is on the new health care bill. that is attempting to repeal obamacare. senator, welcome back to the show, sir. >> chuck, how you doing? >> okay. let me start with a larger funding question. why did -- why did y

yet cassidy -- the graham/cassidy bill does seem to be rolling back coverage and has a high probability it's going to roll back coverage and shift costs to the states. >> what are you most concerned though about this specific bill? why are you a definite know on this? >> certainly from the point of view of colorado, it's $800 million a year, maybe a billion a year of additional cost for the status quo, but on a larger scale, it's almost like groundhog day, going back to all of the republicans to focus on trying to get one big without any bipartisan support done so they can check, we've got a political victory. >> do you think this is more about a political victory than it is about fixing health care? >> yeah, i think that it's going to take a little more time and how do we cut costs so we really can make sure we cover more people in every state? how do we get to more transparency and begin to put in waivers and systems by which we make sure we're not paying for volume but paying for quality. that is something john kasich and i have been talking about for months and months and months. >>

bill cassidy. >> thank you for being here. you may know that i've worked in the louisiana charity hospital system for 25 years and it was a system that was basically if you are poor that's where you went and i learned that the politician controls the dollars the system lights up to serve the politician. if the patient controls the dollar the system lines up to serve her. the thing we are trying to do is give the patient the power. we want the system to line up with that patient wherever she may live. some will say my gosh what's wrong with the status quo? we should continue. this is saying out there that obamacare only works if you don't and i will give you an example of a fellow who is a talk-show host in louisiana. he is a self-employed person. his premium per year is over $40,000 with a 5000-dollar deductible and an additional deductible. think about that. he's going to face $50,000 a year between his premium and his deductibles. the mortgage of a 500,000-dollar home. louisiana is considered to be one of the states in which

the president and i believe the graham-cassidy bill is the right idea. the president is absolutely determined to keep his promise to repeal and replace obamacare. we are urging every american to reach out to members of the senate and the house and urge them as the senate takes up this bill next week to vote to support graham-cassidy and repeal and replace obamacare. steve: we had senator rand paul on yesterday and he said he is leaning toward being a no because it doesn't really replace and repeal. it's kind of a work-around. a lot of people are looking in thinking well, they've got a plan. it better be better than what we've got right now. can you tell us that it's better than obamacare? >> almost anything would be better than obamacare. obamacare is imploding. it's collapsing all across the country. it's remarkable to see the pattern. we have seen people losing their insurance, losing their doctors. we have seen the average american see the cost of their insurance go up by more than $3,000. have you got thousands of counties across the country where th

and i can't help that. >> reporter: cassidy's bill with lindsey graham would eliminate the individual mandate to buy insurance, redistribute medicaid expansion and obamacare subsidy money to individual states to let them implement their own plans, but states could opt out of covering pre-existing conditions, though they would have to explain how they intend to keep those people covered. but experts warn -- >> that is the only bill we've seen so far that effectively lets state just dump that pre-existing condition requirement. it allows insurers to discriminate against you if you're sick. >> reporter: former president obama today defending his signature legislation. >> it's certainly frustrating to have to mobilize every couple of months to keep our leaders from inflicting real human suffering on our constituents. >> reporter: late today the president weighing in. >> i think it's much better than the previous shot. >> reporter: republicans have until september 30th to find 50 votes, and all eyes will be on senators lisa murkowski and john mccain when the bill comes to the floor next we

senator lindsey graham and bill cassidy are pushing a new north carolina bill in a last attempt to repeal and replace the affordable care act. it ends protection on preexisting conditions discrimination. you couldn't discriminate against people with preexisting conditions. 25% of the people under 65 have preexisting conditions. that's 52 million americans. it also ends prohibition on lifetime limits of how much you can get insured for when you have a disability or cancer or rare diseases or if you have prematurely born infant. you can now have lifetime leltsz, which means you can go bankrupt if you happen to be ill. the essential health benefits. you hard about those. they are not going to be mandatory under this. under obamacare every single insurance policy sold in the country had to cover ten thing, hospital care, pregnancy, maternity and child birth. half of people don't get pregnant so they didn't want to pay for it. medicaid would also be cut in addition to cutting the current expansion which brought additional coverage to 13 million americans. the congressional budget office which

he took on people who say he should stay out of the conversation even after having bill cassidy on to talk about the proposals. >> supporters say, he's a doctor, you're not. what do you know. to them i say, all of these reputable organizations, the american diabetes association, american medical association, american cancer society, american heart association, the list goes on and on. all of these groups populated by doctors say this health care bill is bad. they're against it. we haven't seen this many people come forward to speak out against a bill since cosby, okay. >> kimmel's son was born with a rare heart defect and would benefit from the obamacare provisions. senator graham says the bill is not about limits or restrictions. >> we're going to get flexibility to cover sick people, but sick people will be covered. >> senator graham and senator cassidy say the bill meets the jimmy kimmel test which he means affordable health care for people regardless of pre-existing conditions. >>> breaking news out of north philadelphia. that's where police say a man was shot and killed execution

and this guy, bill cassidy, just lied right to my face. stop using my name, okay, because i don't want my name on it. there's a new jimmy kimmel test for you, it's called the lie detector test. >> i'm sorry he does not understand. under graham/cassidy/heller/johnson more people will have coverage and we protect those with pre-existing conditions. >> our bill gives the governor responsibility, which he or she may not want, but that's the best way to get people covered. >> all right, tammy luby, this is when you come in to explain. you hear it two different ways. what's the truth in the graham/cassidy bill when it comes to pre-existing conditions? >> technically insurers will not be allowed to deny people coverage because of pre-existing conditions, but unlike under obamacare, insurers will be allowed to charge people based on their medical history. so those who are sick can be charged a lot of money. >> they can jack up the rates. >> sure. we've seen that in the past before obamacare. also on top of that, the essential health benefits that

comedian jimmy kimmel who bill cassidy hoped to win over. >> this guy, bill cassidy, just lived right to my face. coverage for all, no. it will take about 30 million americans off of insurance. pre-existing conditions, nope. >> realizing that repeal and replace is doomed, the president turned his base's attention to other targets lashing out at nfl players that protest in the national anthem. >> wouldn't you love to see one of these nfl owners, when someone disrespects our flag, get that son of a bitch off of the field right now, he is fired. he's fired! >> nba star lebron james weighed in calling the president a bum. >> we know how much sports brings us together. the passion, the love, the care, the friendships and everything that it creates. for him to try to use this platform to divide us even more is not something i can stand for or be quiet about. >> joining me now is republican senator rand paul of kentucky, he said he is a no vote on the graham/cassidy bill. welcome back to "meet the press. >> good morning, thanks for having me. >> i want to start with the president didn't just
