From the New York Times, I'm Michael, but this is the day tat it after the dramatic, turn of John Mccain. This narrowly votes to begin work on the repeal of the affordable care and then promptly votes down a plan to do exactly that, and the president's steps up. The attacks on his attorney general asked what he intends to fire Jeff sessions. He says time will tell it's Wednesday July. Twenty sixth, please join me a Such changes to our flag, I primarily through the United States, Tuesday afternoon in the United States and ever since the election,

any Republicans have been fighting to repeal the affordable care act. But after six months, their only here. Look, we can't let those moments led by voting not to repeal or replace open care, but merely to allow for debating the girl about its future damage. Bread and on the vote that we have today are just a couple of hours. Centres will have an important decision. The fate of health care for tens of millions of Americans rests on an archive. In legislative process, overs and by Senate Majority Leader Mitch, Mcconnell terrific eight, the landmark healthcare Mcconnell, must when fifty one votes. Seven years after O bomber Kara was imposed on our country. We will vote on the critical first step to finally move beyond its failures. The math is very

in dowager. Republicans, who control the Senate by just two seats can only afford to defections Senator Susan Collins has virtually promised to vote no half a dozen other republican senators are still undecided mood, pursuit of God or another one twenty jar, sixteen twenty four around two thirty Pm Mcconnell introduces the motion to proceed, and protests are up from the Senate gallery their second, the senators, our current in alphabetical order, the Corporal Cultural, Mr Alexander, Miss Baldwin, Mr Barroso, the first Novo Miss Collins, comes from Susan Collins, Mr Corker, Jerry Moran.

Last week the wailed republican plans to repeal Obamacare Mr Moran sides with Mcconnell next to be called miss me Helsinki is least summer Cowskin Alaska, who, after conferring with Susan Collins, becomes the second republican to vote. No senators voting and the negative Collins and Mercosur Republicans cannot lose another vote. The Senate is still waiting on two Republicans, one of them RON, Johnson, has been an outspoken critic of Mcconnell. Now where's capture, Mcconnell and Johnson in heated conversation and then For the first time since being diagnosed with brain kings, Syn John Mccain enters the Senate change after hugging.

Keen and just the last two Republicans cast their votes: Johnson, Mister Johnson. I both men sided Mcconnell. That brings the vote count to fifty two to one vote. Shy of victory for the Republicans. The senator is not recorded. No, then there meaning forty eight Democrats start voting no one after Mr Shimmer now Mr Durban Forty eight knows from Democrats plus two republican defections brings the vote to a time. Fifty to fifty on this vote, the years or fifty and the Naser fifty under Senate, the Thai breaking vote

Mr Vice President, MIKE pants, the Senate being equally divided. The vice president votes in the affirmative and the motion is agreed to. With that. Local the Senate agrees to debate the future of american healthcare. The seniors senator from Arizona is recognised I am a keen- has saved the vote, but just moments after it's done. But I stand here today, looking a little worse for wear, I'm sure

He returned to the floor to deliver a message, hired we're getting nothing done, my friends we're getting nothing done and always really done. This year is confirmed the old horses to the Supreme Court. Our healthcare insurance system is a mess. We all know what those who support Obama, care and those who oppose it. Something has to be done. We republicans have looked for awaiting ended and replace it with something else, without paying a terrible political price we haven't, found it yet and I'm not sure we will just hours later report, can leadership suffered a setback when mockery not rushed a late night vote on his most comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare and it fell far short of the votes needed the debate.

Is scheduled to continue this morning will be right. Back support for the daily comes from tee in tee, presenting the aliens angel of darkness, the all new season of the acclaimed Emmy Award winning television series at the turn of the twentieth century, uncover a dark and sinister trail of death and deceit as an intrepid team of crime, solvers reunite to hunt and elusive killer day? the brutal Luke, Evans and Dakota Fanning story and the alien is angel of darkness, the only

he's in premier, Sunday July, nineteen that nine eight central anti anti go to the aliens dot com for more so just sessions takes gets into the yard repute himself I didn't have- which- which rightly, I think, is very unfair to the president's characters. A few days ago, President Trump basically told in your times that he wished he'd never appointed Jeff sessions, as his attorney, I would have said, thank again in another, taking its extremely unfair and that's a mild word to the present. What was that all about the President Michael Harbours, this lingering resentment towards jumped sessions for refusing himself from the russian investigation

but a session saw it and, as other Republicans have seen it, including allies of President trumps Jeff sessions, had to get out of the way of an investigation that he is in the thick and remind me why he was in the thick of it what the russian ambassador apparently set. I stabber through my office. I did not say and I asked for meeting as so many of the masses were doing, sessions had contacts with russian officials, which he did not initially

disclose and these have all since become swept up in the investigation into whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. They said that fast. I had involvement with the campaign. I should not be involved in any campaign investigation. I have started a rose and consider their comments and evaluation. I believe those recommendations are right and just so what his present Trump said: since those comments to the times he's been kind of accelerating this critique. Your exactly right is unfolding in real time is like a window into trumps. Frustrations with just session through history, feed. It's his like this ongoing cyber bullying campaign to drive his attorney general from office, where first, hold him beleaguered, which of course paled in comparison to what I call him at six, a m on Tuesday morning, weak

saying that Jeff sessions was not forcefully going after? Hillary Clinton is if what the Justice Department needed to be focusing on at this time was investigating is chief political opponents. So, dear me, why, as we can tell, is the president doing what he's doing to Jeff sessions so publicly, essentially shaming, his attorney general for millions upon millions of people to see because he wants me to quit. I think it's as simple as that he's trying to drive him out of office because he knows he understands that it would look terrible for him to fire an attorney general. Who essentially did the right thing. I mean, let's, let's not lose sight of the Jeff sessions. Did the law Billy proper thing by refusing himself in this, the attorney general doing a fine job, and I, like you, made the right decision to refuse himself from the russian matter. So Dear members of Congress, which you covered for years, have two sessions, defence. What do they say?

what they're saying as if he he's a man of integrity. He's he's a man of conviction and area, a former colleague of theirs. I guess which a former colleague of theirs for for two decades in the Senate. He served and you had TED crews, who was furious with Jeff sessions for endorsing Donald Trump during the presidential I'm paying and not him, and who is allegedly someone rumoured to be on trumped shortlist for attorney general? Should he decided fired sessions, tat crews come out and say that he stood by sessions and that he was not under consideration for the attorney general posts. You have Lindsey Gram. Calling Jeff sessions quote one of the most decent people. I've ever met a rock sound conservative, but above else he believes in the rule of law and right there, that's an allusion to the fact that most Republicans, almost every single one of them, thinks that Jeff sessions do the right thing by accusing self in this investigation

that has infuriated Donald Trump. So by and large, these are our conservative figures coming out in defence of sessions very- openly, and I imagine this is complicated by the fact that sessions is a big figure in the conservative world right. That's right before Donald Trump burst onto the political scene, with this conservative, nationalistic America, first vision, Jeff sessions was that voice in the Senate so that two of them kind of had an early mind, meld and sessions became along with people. We now know almost as household names, Stephen Bannon and Stephen Miller, who worked as just sessions, communication structures, Senate the three of them worked with Trump to help form the architecture of nationalist,

populist conservative world view. Sadly, we are saying is that sessions provided kind of the brain trust to trumpet the cannon. And now the white House- that's exactly right somebody who also was one of the first to stick his neck out for President Trump. At a time when doing so was was far from politically fashion This is a movement and there's a scene of them together in sessions home state of Alabama. Is developed a lot of relatives Some people are ok. People a lousy, something great I was so on because I have a man who is respected by everybody here really respected

somebody that I have a lot of respect for is really the expert. As far as I'm concerned your borders on so many different things, Trump heaping use praise on sanctions because Tromp put it then he was the one person trumped sought out for advice on what was at that point, a very policy thin campaign, so Trump was proud to have sessions and his credentials on his side. O absolutely sessions was a tremendously helpful validate or for conserving. They looked at session. I saw his support for Trump and said. Ok, maybe I can put aside some of my misgivings about the sky and go along with it, because I may not trust Donald Trump on two percent, or can ever be completely sure where

he's going, but I know we're just sessions is so then what happens to present trump? If sessions this validated leave the White House, does he lose the support from the conservative world? Donald Trump will take a lot of grief from the republican base. If he fires Jeff sessions, they will see it as a slap in the face and what I think this is really about is their fear that the trumpet ministration is losing

its conservative nationalist conscience, which Jeff sessions was emblematic of, yet that they look at it and ministration that has members of Donald Trump, immediate family wall, street bankers and old palace from New York, and they see people like Jeff sessions as the only check on those more liberal, leaning folks who aren't going to be loyal to the conservative agenda. The Donald got elected to pursue the way that bright, Bart put it. If sessions goes, that would be quote a devastating blow to the prestige and prominence of the nationalist parties, underpinnings of the wider Trump movement. I frankly say that sessions as the kind of man trump needs. It is administered Asian, what I saw as a sign that this was going to be very problem was on

Monday, when Russia Limbo, whose kind of a lasting indicator of where, where the trumpet bases he said, but it's also a kind of discomforting unseemly for trumped to go after such a loyal supporter this way, and I think that really echoes what a lot of conservatives feel about how this is all to Germany. Finally, knowing What you know about Jeff sessions is this a man who you think wants to stay on, as attorney general. At this point, I think just sessions. Attitude at this point is let Trump fire me. I did the right thing, so Donald Trump wants to cross. That line go right ahead, but he's gonna have to shut me first, but can he function as a train general with a president who now quite clearly and unambiguously doesn't want there, you know, I think he can't, because seen a lot of situations in the past where Trump has soured on an aid. He certainly

nurses, a grudge and as our time letting them go, but he warms in cools two people pretty easily- and I that its sessions survives this week. I could totally foresee him serving an act. We may be getting on and productive role with the president for some time to come. Jeremy. Thank you very much. Thank you Michael on Tuesday morning, the president's new communications director Anthony scare Muky talk to him serve active radio host, Hugh Human, about the growing tension between the president and the attorney general its earlier. That does it want some God had an enormous. I have enormous manner, respect for the attorney general, but I do know

Present pretty well and there's this level of tension in the relationship that that that's public you're, probably right but I'd aunt on Tuesday afternoon and wondering if you could talk to us a little bit about whether you ve lost confidence in Jeff sessions. The present took a question from a reporter at a press conference. I told you before very disappointed with the attorney general, but we will see what happens. Time will tell time will tell here's. What else you need to know today you want to work in a lessening stoutly Anthony scare which says he has a plan to end the embarrassing leaks coming from inside the White House. Prescott fire everybody, the flower to do it. Stop leaguing or you're gonna get five on Tuesday scare him which he started to fulfil. That pledge telling a reporter who planted

higher Michael Shore, an assistant secretary he viewed as disloyal to the pressure within hours, shore had resigned, down several hundred, then the legal entity, thousands of the authority, that's it.
