Episode 25 : Senate Republicans unveil Obamacare repeal bill
June. 23,2017
After weeks of behind-the-scenes discussions, Senate Republicans unveiled their plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The Better Care Reconciliation Act authored largely by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rolls back many requirements included under President Obama's signature healthcare plan. The Senate plan would: - Phase out the Medicaid expansion to low-income Americans - Provide smaller subsidies for insurance plans that offer less coverage - Repeal the individual mandate requiring Americans to buy insurance - Allow states to opt out of requiring certain essential health benefits like maternity care and mental health treatment In addition to Democrats, who are in lock-step opposition to the GOP Senate health care bill, four conservative Republican senators have rejected the plan calling it "Obamacare light." Sens. Rand Paul (KY), Ron Johnson (WI), Ted Cruz (TX) and Mike Lee (UT) released a joint statement saying they're "not ready to vote for this bill." The Senate plan is similar to the American Health Care Act passed by the House last month. President Trump touted its passage in a Rose Garden ceremony but recently has called it "mean" and "cold-hearted." Trump tweeted his support for the Senate bill late Thursday. All of the debate is racing towards a vote next week before the July 4th Congressional recess. McConnell’s schedule leaves little time for public debate or amendments. The Congressional Budget Office will release its score of the bill next week. Robert Costa will explore the details of the Republican prescription for health care and the real-world impact with: Sarah Kliff of Vox Susan Davis of NPR Philip Rucker of The Washington Post Kelly O'Donnell of NBC News

Episode 24 : Calls for unity in the aftermath of Congressional shooting
June. 16,2017
Every once in a while, one moment makes Washington pause. Partisanship melts away, if only for that brief moment. This week it was a charity baseball game, an annual tradition that pits Republicans and Democrats against each other for a good-natured competition and America’s favorite pastime. Everything changed early Wednesday morning when a gunman opened fire on the Republican team practicing on a suburban field. Rep. Steve Scalise, the number three Republican in the House of Representatives, was critically injured along with four others. As the game goes on and Washington returns to its usual squabbles, the investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election has expanded to include President Trump. Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly looking into whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice in the Russia case after firing FBI Director James Comey. Just one day after the shooting when Trump praised all the public servants working in government, the president took to Twitter to bemoan the “very bad and conflicted people” investigating him. On Wednesday the Senate voted 97-2 to restrict the president’s ability to roll back sanctions to punish Russia for interfering in the 2016 election. What does this unusual week tell us about civility, credibility and trust in Washington? Robert Costa will discuss with: Alexis Simendinger of Real Clear Politics Jeff Zeleny of CNN Erica Werner of the Associated Press Geoff Bennett of NPR Adam Entous of The Washington Post

Episode 22 : President Trump says U.S. will withdraw from Paris climate change agreement
June. 02,2017
resident Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord, the historic 2015 agreement that commits nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and seek to renegotiate a new deal that's "fair" for the American people. The United States, the world’s second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, will join just two other nations – Nicaragua and Syria – to reject the climate change deal. Thursday's announcement is a campaign promise kept for the president who called climate change a "hoax." Global leaders urged him to reconsider during his overseas trip last week, and Trump's decision will raise questions about the U.S. role on the world stage. With the United States signaling its intention to withdraw and renegotiate, will other nations follow? Inside the White House, the decision pitted White House staffers against each other. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and adviser Stephen Bannon argued urged Trump to abandon the Paris agreement because it led to job losses. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and daughter Ivanka Trump joined environmental groups and corporate executives who believed the president should keep the U.S. commitment. Robert Costa will discuss President Trump's decision to exit the Paris Accord and the global ramifications with: Michael Scherer of TIME Magazine Indira Lakshmanan of The Boston Globe Jonathan Swan of Axios

Mister Sterling
Mister Sterling
Mister Sterling is an American television serial drama created by Lawrence O'Donnell that ran from January to March in 2003. It starred Josh Brolin as an idealistic United States Senator, and featured Audra McDonald, William Russ, David Noroña, and James Whitmore as members of his staff. Despite mostly positive reviews, the show, which aired on NBC on Friday nights, was cancelled after 10 episodes after the show only ranked 58th in the yearly ratings Although it had numerous similarities to The West Wing in style and tone, it was not set in the same universe as O'Donnell's other political show. It is unknown if a cross-over would have ever occurred had Mister Sterling not been cancelled; however Steven Culp played presidential aspirant Sen. Ron Garland on Mister Sterling and House Speaker Jeff Haffley on The West Wing, and Democrats appeared to be in the majority in the US Senate on Mr Sterling, while in The West Wing consistent Republican control of both Houses of Congress was a key plot point. James Whitmore was nominated for a 2003 Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for playing former Governor Bill Sterling, the senator's father.
