Sen. Dick Durbin Responds To Donald Trump Comments On Obamacare And Election Fraud

ILLINOIS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THE
PRESIDENT SAID. >> HE'S ONE OF THE FEW IN
AMERICA WHO BELIEVES 3 MILLION VOTERS WEREN'T COUNTED OR 3
MILLION ILLEGAL PEOPLE VOTED. THAT IS A BIZARRE THEORY AND NOW
CREATED A COMMISSION TO PURSUE THAT.
HE PUT IN CHARGE A MAN NAMED KRIS KOBACH, A HAIR ON FIRE
CONSPIRACY THEER RIST AND WILL FIND SOMETHING SOMEWHERE,
LUCKILY A LOT OF STATES, UP TO 43 HAVE TOLD THEM TO PUT THE
REQUEST WHERE THE MONKEY PUT THE PEANUT.
THEY ARE GOING TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF VOTER FILES AND
STAND BEHIND THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN THAT POSITION.
>> WHO PAYS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
>> IT'S AN EXECUTIVE COMMISSION, IT WAS CREATED BY STATUTE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S PAYING IT. MUST COME OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE
BUDGET BUT LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT THIS.
WHEN THEY DID AN OFFICIAL SURVEY TO SEE HOW HONEST AMERICAN
ELECTIONS WERE SINCE 2010, THEY SAID A BILLION VOTES WERE CAST,
ONE BILLION. THEY FOUND 31 CASES OF VOTER
FRAUD. THE PRESIDENT HERE SENT THIS
COMMISSION OUT TO FIND UNICORNS. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIND IT.
>> ALL RIGHT I WANT TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO
DISCUSS EARLIER, THE PREVIOUSLY UNDISCLOSED MEETING BETWEEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VLADIMIR PUTIN DURING THE G-20.
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE DINNER? LIND SI GRAHAM SAID IT'S JUST A
CHIT-CHAT, OTHERS SAID THE SAME. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> I DON'T KNOW. THE FACT IS WHEN THE PRESIDENT
MET WITH THE FOREIGN MINISTER OF RUSSIA AND THE AMBASSADOR IN THE
OVAL OFFICE IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, HE ASKED THE AMERICAN PRESS TO
LEAVE. HE SAID THE RUSSIAN PRESS CAN
STAY. THEY STAYED AND COVERED IT.
NOW WE HAVE A MEETING BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND VLADIMIR PUTIN
WHERE THE ONLY WITNESS APPEARS TO BE A RUSSIAN TRANSLATOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TRANSPIRED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN HISTORIC.
IT COULD HAVE JUST TABLE TALK. WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE IT WASN'T
TREATED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FORMAL FASHION.
>> WHETHER THEY SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T, MANY AMERICANS SAY
RUSSIA IS NOT MY CONCERN, MY TAXES AND HEALTH CARE ARE.
THE PRESIDENT WILL BE HAVING LUNCH IN A SHORT WHILE WITH
REPUBLICAN SENATORS AFTER FOUR SAID THEY WERE AGAINST MITCH
McCONNELL'S LATEST REPROPOSAL TO REPEAL ONLY.
YOU CAN SEE THERE GETTING READY TO HAVE THE LUNCH NOW.
THE PRESIDENT SAID SOMETHING YESTERDAY THAT STUCK OUT TO ME
AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, HE SAID, LET'S LET
OBAMACARE FAIL. AND IF IT DOES SIT AS IT IS AND
IF THE GOVERNMENT PULLS SUBSIDIES FOR THE INSURANCE
COMPANIES AND THOSE INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE TO RAISE PREMIUMS
AND THE POOREST PEOPLE IN AMERICA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
AFFORD HEALTH CARE, WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO A PRESIDENT WHO IS
SAYING, LET'S LET OBAMACARE FAIL?
>> THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE POSITION TO TAKE.
THIS ISN'T FORFEITING A SOFTBALL GAME.
IT ISN'T FAILING TO EAT YOUR PEAS ON YOUR PLATE.
IT'S SAYING TO HELPLESS AND PEOPLE IN DESPERATE NEED, YOU'RE
ON YOUR OWN, WE DON'T CARE IF YOU GET THE HEALTH CARE YOUR
FAMILY NEEDS. NO PRESIDENT SHOULD EVER SAY
THAT. THE FACT IS THE PRESIDENT AND
REPUBLICAN CONGRESS NOW HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HEALTH CARE
IN AMERICA. THEY CANNOT FIND A WAY TO REPEAL
AND REPLACE, WHAT I SUGGEST TO THEM, SOMETHING RADICAL, WHY
DON'T WE SIT DOWN TOGETHER, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS AND
WORK OUT THE WEAKNESSES AND REPAIR THE THINGS THAT NEED TO
BE REPAIRED IN THE SYSTEM. TO WALK AWAY FROM IT AND SAY
WE'RE GOING TO LET IT FAIL IS TO TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
>> I KNOW YOU'VE GOT TO GO, SENATOR, BUT YOU'VE BEEN IN
WASHINGTON A WHOLE LOT LONGER THAN THE PRESIDENT HAS.
PUT THE PRESIDENT AND HIS TWEETS AND BLUSTER ASIDE, ARE YOU
HAVING FACE TO FACE SIT-DOWN CONVERSATIONS WITH REPUBLICANS,
THOSE WHO YOU'VE WORKED WITH FOR DECADES ON REPAIRING HEALTH
CARE? >> YES, AND I THINK MANY OF THEM
ARE READY TO STEP UP. IN FACT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
SENATOR McCONNELL WON'T MAKE THIS A MORE PUBLIC EFFORT SO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE
PROPOSING. DOING THIS IN SECRET AND
PRIVATE, SPRINGING IT ON AMERICAN PEOPLE AND SAYING WE'LL
HAVE A VOTE IN A FEW DAYS SEAN LATER ON WE'LL ANALYZE WHAT THE
BILL DOES. THAT ISN'T THE WAY THE SENATE
ALWAYS OPERATED. I HOPE HE CAN GET BACK TO THE
REGULAR ORDER OF THINGS, LET'S HAVE COMMITTEE HEARINGS, I TRUST
HIS CHAIR AND MY
