Bill, and thats enough to bill it. The white house unable to gets its story straight on donald trump jr. s controversial meeting with the russian lawyer. President trump and his son saying the meeting at trump tower that took place before last years election was to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. But White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer insisting it was about adoption despite evidence to the contrary. Oh, at the sixmonth mark, President Trump has the lowest Approval Rating of any president in the history of polling. What is the mood inside the white house tonight and around the country. I want to begin tonight with cnn senior political analyst, white house supporter, the staff writer for the atlantic and chief investigative correspondent for yahoo news. Kaitlyn, there are now four republican senators opposing the notion. So right now this version of Obamacare Repeal and replace is dead. What can you tell us tonight . Thats exactly right. This version is not going to go to the floor for any votes, especially because senator majority Mitch Mcconnell could only luose two votes to it and two more came out saying no. This all comes as donald trump and mike pence were dining senators at the white house tonight in hopes of getting more support for the bill. And right now theres no path forward for this. This isnt Going Forward so what the question is now will the white house choose to move on to tax reform or try to give health care one more go. Mr. Trump, republican senate, Republican House, voted countless times to repeal and replace obamacare when he was in office, what do you attribute this failure to . When the president has the lowest Approval Ratings of any president after six months it is not surprising he took one of the biggest body blows in politics after six months. The strategy of playing to his base only and trying not to go to the country on major legislation that would try to bring some democrats in, that would try to be more bipartisan i think led the republicans to embrace a Health Care Bill in the house and then basically the same thing in the senate which was extraordinarily unpopular. I think we have never seen a president put forward a major legislative piece in his early days and have it be greeted with such division and fear. We are going to be talking about how much this is going to change Donald Trumps agenda. The single most important thing done is what happens to the people of this country on our health care in the next few weeks, the next few months, who is paying attention to them and trying to ensure they dont get thrown off their insurance and dont lose the capacity to protect their families. It is incumbent upon lawmakers to ensure. The standard by which they should be judged now is what are they doing for the folks back home. Remember this, david, remember the victory lap they took and people called it the 2017 version of Mission Accomplished when it passed the house and everyone was wondering why are you taking a victory lap . There is no victory yet. Theyre missing the victory. I agree with that. But weve reached the weve been going this for a while. The trump people are taking us way down on this where the attempt to build big legislative achievements is no longer trying to reach out to the other party. When you do big social legislation, big milestone legislation, it has to be passed with super majority, 65, 67, 68 votes in the senate. Lets talk about this. How does this play . Whats the feeling inside of the white house, but how does this play in pea yowhen you have the rating since the history of polling when your major legislative initiative appears to be dead on arrival, when you have a Republican House and a republican senate, you are the republican president and you still cant get anything accomplished . Well, it doesnt play well. I mean, look, the president clearly has lost a lot of political capital. And to the extent that he you know, and that is a factor in not being able to bring his Health Care Bill to passage. You know, normally president s use their leverage, use their clout, use their standing with the American People to pressure members of congress to vote their way. And the president s rating, Poll Rankings are so low at this point, historically low, that he doesnt have that leverage. And i think then you have to look to explain that into all the other things that have gone on to lower his Poll Rankings and certainly the russia investigation is a big part of that. Jewelbefore we move on, what you make of this situation tonight . Well, i think it is republicans fear from 2009 from the Affordable Care act debate in 2009 coming true. They were afraid then that should this law pass and come into effect and people get benefits that they become used to and like, it is going to be impossible to repeal, which is exactly whats happening. This is coinciding with obamacare really taking root and helping people, and its hard to take away something people have become used to and kind of like. So they warned about this in 2009, and thats whats happening now. It is mind boggling when you think about it. When you think about the number of times they voted on this when barack obama was president of the United States and you think about, you know, everything that he said on the campaign trail, on day one this is going to be so easy, and hes gotten no movement. It is easier to be in the peanut gallery than to be at the head of the class and teach. When you become hostage to your ideology, you can make terrible decisions. Do you think this president is bogged down saying im right. I need to prove everybody else wrong and erase the legacy of president barack obama instead of realizing you are the president for the entire United States not just that small number of people that voted for you . Yes. I started out there. This insistence of going to the base and not trying to appeal to everybody else, to try to divide the country and beating up on Everything Else i think has been very destructive for his presidency. But think that overall he this is a president who spent most of his time thinking about himself, how am i play iing wha about the polls . What about the fake news . As opposed to thinking about the people of the country. I have never seen a president who spent so little time trying to figure out whats best for the country in terms of policies and what steps do we take and here we are, this bill has gone down, we have no damn idea where were going from here. It makes me wonder when you hear about some of the things that he says, you know, how he spends his time. If there is a mirror and if he sees himself because the rest of america, if you look at that polling, the rest of america are saying i see you donald trump. Does he see himself . Well, he watches tv. We know that. And he watches the cable shows that drive him crazy and then he tweets about them. And theres multiple examples. And then he tweets about the cable shows that drive him crazy saying he doesnt watch him, but hes reacting to what hes watching. I mean, its kind of silly on some level and the idea that the president has been so obsessed with what is being said about him on cable tv instead of, for instance, the nuts and bolts of the Health Care Bill is, you know i think at some point thats going to be disturbing to those folks out in peoria and elsewhere that did vote for him. You have to wonder if its like the circus mirror. All this talk about polls takes me back to horrible, horrible nightmares of reliving the campaign of 2016 where we in the media kept talking about his high disApproval Rating, how much people didnt like him, and yet here we are. And something has to happen because of the way our system is constructed and because of the way political power is allotted that we have minority rule in this country. Something else has to happen than just those polling numbers because he has never cared about, like david said, he never cared about the vast majority of the people who arent about lites of his. That 39 has always been that and its not moving. It never moved in 2016. And here we are. Hes in the oval office. He has the Nuclear Codes and hes never been liked so Something Else has to give and it is not going to be because of the Approval Ratings. We are going to talk about russia. Still cant get his story straight. Were going to hear from sean spicer and the rest of our panel after the break.

It has been nine days since the story of Donald Trumps jr. s meeting broke in the white house and the family still cant get their stories together. Heres sean spicer today. Im not going to get into the specifics of this. But i will say that it is quite often for people who are given information during the heat of the a campaign to ask what that is. Thats what similply he did. The president made it clear through his tweet and there was nothing as far as we know that would lead anyone to believe there was anything other than adoption. Thats simply not true. We have donald trump jr. s emails. We know the goal of the meeting was to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. And here is sean spicer contradicting the explanations given from the president and his son. Im not sure if sean spicer has been reading the news lately. But he issued a statement saying the meeting was about getting opposition information on his opponent and donald trump jr. Like you said released the emails where we saw in the subject line it said confidential russian, for your eyes only so they could only read it and donald trump jr. In the email was corresponding with this person and incriminating information that this person claimed they had on the clinton campaign. And the person said they were a russian government attorney. So sean spicer completely contradicted the president and donald trump jr. Today when he said that this meeting was simply about adoptions and sanctions, which we now know that it certainly wasnt. I think its worth pointing that out, if you can put sean spicer back. When you have this thing. You have a briefing and you can invite cameras in, but then you have this thing where you dont see the people. Do they realize that the white house, that this makes them look guilty not transparent . Do they understand that. You would think, don. For a long time i thought, who is in charge here . Why dont they get this . This is not hard. Other president s succeed at this by just being straightforward about the facts. Its gone on for long and so much double speak that you begin to wonder, this is quite intentional. You create a fog bank of lies and uncertainty and vagueness and so many different details that people say i dont want to watch this. My sense is that a lot of americans are starting to tune out on this because its like, you know, it just keeps going on and on. There is a stench about it. But what can you do. It is a campaign of misinformation, a campaign of lies . Yeah. A campaign of lies that may numb us and may whatever mueller does may be just sort of lost in the politics of it. Michael, our cnn correspondent pamela brown spoke to donald trump jr. s attorney about the eighth person in that meeting. The attorney spoke with this history man recently. He was a representative of the agilara family and now he claims to be a u. S. Citizen. We still dont have his name. Were learning that all of this information piecemeal. It does seem very weird that eight people can walk into trump tower and have a meeting with the Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, a Senior Campaign advisor Jared Kushner and donald trump jr. Himself and there is no record of who these people are . You know, i talked to rinat on friday who said he walked in. Nobody asked him for any ids. He just walked waltzed in with no Security Check at all. It does make you wonder, did somebody send a notice to the security guards at trump tower to let a bunch of people in, and if so, who was that or is security so lax at trump tower that anybody can stroll in and meet with the Campaign Chairman . I mean, there is so many questions here that are, you know, that are extremely puzzling. Any of you guys ever been to trump tower . I went to trump tower before the secret service, and they asked for identification, if you are going up to any of the floors where you have those meetings with the president or his family. It seems mind boggling to me. There was that moment when they tried to blame the secret service, which was amazing, right . And then the secret service said, whoa, we have nothing to do with this. We were not part of the equation at that point. But if theyre willing to throw their own protection under the bus, it is just so amazing. Didnt you find that i guess thats why youre bringing it up that the secret service would actually respond to Something Like this . It is a bit unprecedented. Well, theyre being accused of sleeping, you know, on the job. And not taking their responsibility seriously. You know, letting the security of the what is now the president ial family not taking it serious. Thats a pretty serious accusation. Go ahead, mike. I would just say, going back to sean spicer, so eight people are cleared in or somebody gives, you know, notice to let this group of people, russians, u. S. People working with russians into trump tower, let them up, just going to let them up. Going back to sean spicers statement that this was about adoptions. Does anybody really believe that the okay for this meeting would have given and Paul Manafort would have been there and Jared Kushner could have been there if it was advertised as a meeting about russian adoptions. It is hard to fathom that scenario. What we do know and it is very clear, were not sure whether the people there violated the law, but there was a huge amount of dishonesty in an attempt to hide the meeting from the public. One of the curious things in the last hours has been the fact that donald trump jr. s lawyer, the word is out that he and donald trump jr. Wanted to issue a statement originally that was going to be complete. It says don junior and the counsel were prepared to publish or make
