President trump promises more in the way of bipartisanship in the new year. The president tweeted the republicans and democrats to come together on a new plan to replace obamacare. Chip reid has more this morning. Good morning. President trump played golf with georgias senator david perdue. The numbers suggest that could hurt many of his own supporters. It ultimately leads to the end of obamacare. Essentially i think obamacare is over. Reporter the president s prediction of the demise of obamacare comes as about 8. 8 million americans in 39 states signed up for Health Coverage this fall. Thats down 4. 4 despite the Trump Administration pulling advertising and slashing the Enrollment Period from 90 days to 35. The fundamental response is people want health care. The big surprise is red states are signing up faster than blue states. Both republicans and democrats yield it as a top priority, making it a central issue in the upcoming midterm election. The Congressional Budget Office states repealing the mandate would increase the number of uninsured by 2027. And 62 of this years obamacare enrollees live in states President Trump won in 2016. I do think this is dangerous game for the president. One of his single largest drops in popularity came in march after Congressional Republicans began moving ahead with obamacare repeal. In addition to his tweet on health care, the president also sent out a tweet on the russia investigation in which he referred to the fbi as tainted. He also sent out a tweet about tax cuts predicting they would boost jobs and stockmarket increase next year. Three major u. S. Cities are suing the pentagon for alleged failure to tell them when servicemembers are disqualified from owning a gun. New york city, philadelphia, and San Francisco filed a lawsuit yesterday. They want defense officials to openly report all military convictions. David martin is at the pentagon with the legal action and the government response. David, good morning. Reporter good morning. The Defense Departments mission is to protect the United States. But they say pentagon failing to report criminals to the fbi has put the public in danger. Devin kelley was able to buy the gun he used to kill 26 worshippers in southern springs outside of san antonio because the air force failed to report his conviction for assault to the fbi. If his conviction had been reported, kelleys name would have been added to the database of people not allowed to buy firearms. San Francisco City attorney Dennis Herrera believes Court Intervention is needed to make sure the Defense Department does its job in the future. Its unfortunate it took that tragedy to highlight and bring out into the mainstream what has been going on for all too long and that is the department of defenses failure to live up to its responsibilities. According to the lawsuit, a 2017 Defense Department study revealed the air force failed to submit final reports in about 14 of cases. The navy and marines and about 36 and the army of about 41 . The pentagons Inspector General told Congress Earlier this month such failures were long running and wide spread among all the armed services. Inadequate training, verification. They didnt take these recommendations as seriouslied a they should have. The pentagon has promised to fix the problem but the lawsuit has asked him to compel them to go back over the cases and report all the violent offenders it failed to report to the fbi the first time. The Justice Department is reviewing the lawsuit to determine its next step. Dana. David martin, thank you.
