but she was never a government employee. the fact in this lurid story, the taxpayers of alabama were not paying her salary. and whether or not she was sh stooping the governor, having someone working there that was not a government employee? well, the group that apparently was paying her is called the alabama council for excellent government. ace gov. .com was their website. but when the relationship became a national sex scandal, they disappeared their website. this is their website today. its jaups nothing. just a little place holder in case you might want to build something at acegov.com because there s nothing there now. in the middle of this raging story with national implications, there s this black hole, this group who was apparently paying this woman who was in the governor s office every day, this group does not answer its phones, they don t directed towards institutions that provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior. mike pence ran for congress s
come back here to try to make a difference. i want to congratulate you on the difference you have made. now one of the questions i would ask you is why you re willing to leave a place with so much responsibility and background and capability to be willing to be the secretary of health and human services. thank you, senator. when i think about the mission of the department of health and human services, which is to improve the health, safety, and wellbeing of the american people, it s what i ve literally spent my life trying to do. and so to have the opportunity to participate if confirmed, to be to serve as the secretary of health and human services and to try to guide that organization in a direction that would further fulfill that mission, i can t think of anything more exciting for fulfilling. i think you have the background for doing that too,
with the wide range of experience you had between the different practices and hospitals and then coming here and going through a num
saw fairly recently at the white house when president trump announced judge neil gorsuch would be his pick to replace justice scalia. several people people will be in attendance whose family were killed from undocumented immigrants. at president trump s campaign rallies he d bring people on stage to talk about this with regard to immigration. this will be a discussion of potentially economic security, national security, and possibly immigration as we look ahead later in the week, ali, to the president revealing his revised travel ban. on friday remember, it will be a month that original ban has been tied up in court essentially since the stay was put on it. the president might talk about his budget, too, something a lot of members of congress are particularly interested in hearing. here s what he had to say when it came to what he would do with entitlement reform with cuts to medicaid and social security. listen. you have an omb director finally.
he says you have to take an axe to
committed to replacing obamacare the same day it is repealed? cnn newsroom starts now. hello again. thank you for joining me. i m fredricka whitfield. we have distressing new video from inside that ft. lauderdale airport. showing when the gunman opens fire in the baggage area. this video is difficult to watch. it is crucial in understanding the context of this shooting. this is a freeze frame, now, of what appears to be security camera footage, obtained by tmz. the man in the blue shirt is believed to be accused gunman, esteban santiago. we will play the video one time throughout this hour. it is silent. and it is security footage. and it is disturbing. pay attention to the left side of your screen, where the man in the blue shirt enters the frame.
he is due in court. he is facing serious charges. all of them eligible for the death penalty, fred. boris sanchez. at ft. lauderdale airport. i want to bring in matthew haras and paul shmek. good to see you. your reaction to the video
we need to slow down and get it right. like mom used to say, you rush and you make mistakes. democrats are going to continue in their head-long rush to pass a government takeover of health care. from where i stand and frankly many republican senators stand who are troubled by the pace is of concern. we should have had more time to digest it. i guess history has a funny way of repeating itself. what a difference eight years doesn t make. republicans today sounding a lot like republicans back in 2009 on health care reform. only this time, they are battling themselves. can president trump and house speaker paul ryan bring their own party on board? this as one new report says at least 15 million people, joe, will lose their health care coverage under the new gop plan. this morning, we are going to speak live with the u.s. secretary of health and human services dr. tom price.

investigate this and oh, my god how could president obama have done this to president trump, and they were quiet, with the ni microphones except f microphones except for john mccain and lindsey graham. the question is why would the president want congress to spend money investigating a question to which he has the answer by virtue of his tweet? and can make that public any old time he wants. let s talk turkey here. this is a president on a twitter storm clearly angry about the way that his staff had handled things, deciding to take things into his own hands and try to change the subject, who knows, probably divert attention from russia, all of the above. and sean spicer was asked and
this because he hasn t shown any evidence. imagine if he had evidence of this action by the former president it would be the biggest political story in 50 years or so and he would want to put it out there and we will wait to see what he does. i think they are hoping this does become like groundhog day
confronting internal revolt over the house health care bill and his unsubstantiated claim that president obama wiretapped phones at trump tower. a lot of americans need to know. reporter: amid this turmoil, fbi director james comey could confirm today whether the bureau is investigating ties between trump s campaign and russia. leaders of a senate judiciary subcommittee also hopeful comey will also respond to their request to provide evidence regarding the wiretapping acquisition. they re about to screw up big time if they keep running to the intel committee and not answer that letter. reporter: earlier this week sean spicer qualified trump s accusation, but now he s sounding defiant. he feels very confident it will ultimately come of this, it will vindicate him. reporter: lawmakers on both sides of the aisle showing growing frustration about the white house s failure to provide any evidence to support trump s extraordinary claim. i think, frankly, the
administration s
reporter: certainly. that will be a challenge for some of them especially in districts where the president is very popular. if members did not side with him on this. i think the big question right now is will it get to the floor? that s a decision that doesn t reside in the white house. it s really a decision for the majority leaders of the republicans, kevin mccarthy a long with the speaker, they run the floor. if they believe it is sort of a doomed bill, they ve got to make a calculation about tip typically you could see them not put it on the floor with that political exposure for each and every member to be recorded on something that went nowhere. that s typically how this goes. we saw the president saying he wanted a vote. that was a point of leverage. in the time we ve been talking about this and when we ve been updating our own whip counts and describing the mood and the atmosphere, i can assure you, if there were people in leadership who thought we had that wrong, they wo
suitorman, senior editor at reason magazine. kasie, let me start with you. we ve already seen far right groups like heritage action criticize the plan, club for growth as well, freedom works, rand paul calling it obamacare light. you tweeted this a few hours ago. here it is, it is still early so caveats apply but events of today suggest gop health care bill is already on life support, if not dead on arrival. how can that be so early, kasie? reporter: well look, craig, this bill has run into extraordinary opposition just in the first handful of hours that it has been out in the public, and you re saying you tick through some of the groups that have come out and opposed this, the heritage action went so far as to say this doesn t repeal obamacare. that of course kind of the cardinal sin for a party that has spent the last however many years campaigning specifically on repealing obamacare. so the people who are
to younger people and less generous to older people. there would be a
