Wanted to have them all in this same meeting in the same room here to discuss all this with the president. But still, even though the vote is scheduled for this evening, expected this evening, other republicans im talking to here and on capitol hill say they would nobt at all surprised if it was set aside or pushed back. That happens, thats a sign there is a big problem. John . Thats an understatement to say the least. Jeff zeleny at the white house. Lets bring it into the room. House Speaker Paul Ryan was supposed to speak to reporters this morning. Hes delayed that until this afternoon. Horse trading behind closed doors, wheeling and dealing, the very thing republicans criticize the democrats for doing when they passed obamacare but well put that aside for a second. What does this tell you that the president is meeting and gets a standing ovation from members of the House Freedom caucus who at the moment you can make the case are undermining the president on priority number one because they wont accept what he thought was the plan early in the week. They are 100 undermining him
buy them a la cart. They become unaffordable. Are murkowski and collins going to be willing to vote for that. The moderates in the house. You move the bill to the right, it becomes a problem on the left. Ive seen about 30 members opposed. 15 in the Freedom Caucus, about 15 outside of that. Those people are on the left and the more changes you make in terms of Maternity Leave and things like that. Weve seen four or five members on the left side of the party. Theyre voting no in the last couple of days. Thats where the draining of votes is coming from. What is the president willing to do to get this done. This is the guy who said i can do this. I can cut these deals. Even now the changes theyve made so far. Theyd already agreed to add a Work Requirement on medicaid. Let states pick block grants for the Medicaid Funding if they wanted to. Ban new states. 30plus states have already expanded medicaid. With a win. But he doesnt have a lot more he can offer them and still hold to what he said during the campaign. Were on what was supposed to be the day of the vote. Weve seen these things play out before. A lot of horse trading. Small details. But what they are debating here is the fundamental question of whether the federal government should be dictating what kind of Insurance Benefits people have or not. And that is the fundamental question that lies at the whole root of this debate. They are actually having this debate at the white house hours before and the man cutting the deal, the closer, is a nonideological republican president who promised many things during the campaign that gives conservatives fits. Is he willing to change . You spent a lot of time on capitol hill. If paul ryan has to pull this bill today, what does that say . And for those of you at home, apologies for washington speak but theyre trying to do this under reconciliation. The reason they cant do everything is that the senate rules they believe wont allow that. The house is trying to do part
of this. What does it say for the speaker if he has to, as Speaker Boehner did before him, has to pull this . Its very, very bad for his leadership. Its very bad, again, not just for the president but for paul ryan. Theres no question about it. Is it bad also for tax reform and for Everything Else down the road . I was just going to saiy, it is also entirely possible thats going to happen, that he is going to have to pull the bill unless the president can seal some kind of deal with this bloc of Freedom Caucus members who are there right now. But what does that mean . Lets just take this hypothetical down the road here. If he has to pull the bill, it is possible that it probable that theyll turn to tax reform. And i actually think Something Like tax reform could be more of a Consensus Builder for republicans. Could be. Could be. One big exception, though. The import adjustment. No question. They could have the same dynamic. No question, they could. But its not as personal for these constituents. And health care is about as personal as it gets when you talk about legislation that affects me. That affects people would the Freedom Caucus be team players once obama was out of the presidency . Sounds like theyre behaving the exact same way they were before. Thats important the question is the model theyre establishing. If the price of getting it out of the house is adding provisions that make it almost impossible to pass the senate, even if they do pass it in the next several days, have they created a precedent thats valuable or damaging . Can i just answer your question in one other way as well about paul ryans leadership . There already has been a lot of secondguessing about the way he approached this from the beginning. Basically for a lot of conservatives, he compromised and negotiated with himself. This has already been too moderate. That he should have, knowing the freedom cacaucus, Knowing The W has republicans are, started further to the right knowing
that when he gets to the senate its going to have to be moderated and even more so and that many members of the Freedom Caucus understand that. That they are already starting, from their perspective, way too far to the middle. The congressional Budget Offers said would remove Health Insurance for 24 Million People and they may vote before having a final estimate on this bill, which likely would be even higher and would have higher outofpocket costs for those older working age adults. A majority of votes came from whites over 45. Threequarters of all people in the country over 45 are white. These are Republican Voters who would be the big losers in this shift of risk and cost that is inherent in the deregulation in this bill. Well come back to this later. We are keeping an eye on this meeting. Someone else has his phone or hes taking a break. He just tweeted out, were going to pass this. Contact your representatives.

Dont Stop Taking Eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop.

While powerful medicine clears your worst cold symptoms. Lets end this. Suspect. What do we know about him . Reporter his name is khalid masood, according to scotland yard, londons police force. Hes 52 and lived in the West Midlands where the focus of their arrests were. A key city here in the united kingdom. And a man with a record of petty crime, of violence, which may perhaps explain some of idiotically violent rampage that began here just over 24 hours ago when he took a car he had rented up onto the pavement here, a hyundai, and plowed into 40 people who received injuries. Its here that two of his victims, two of his three victims lost their lives. One of them kurt cochran, a man from utah here on his 23rd anniversary with his wife. Shes in the hospital with a broken leg and injuries to her face. One tragic loss of life there which President Trump has called the loss of a great american. And another individual, a
spanish teacher age 43, aysha aysha frade. A large collection of tourists, people just coming to see this big ben, a Key London Landmark attached to the heart of the british democracy and government near the Houses Of Parliament. Now this is a scene where life will be permanently altered for those who come past here on the way to work as part of an everyday routine but also today, too, as life gets back to normal. Tourists, some of them oblivious to what happened here 24 hours ago. But the car continues down the road, 24 hours ago, into the railings and then went around the corner. Tried to get in to the courtyard of parliament and stabbed to death keith palmer who gave his life trying to defend the Houses Of Parliament here. Often we have no idea if they had any prior knowledge at all. Just trying to to this sick crime. Lets bring the conversation back here. Tell me if you are struck as i was, by the demeanor of our president yesterday, President Trump who in the past where its san bernardino, orlando or nice or brussels, has sent out tweets essentially saying, i told you so. We need to get tough, be tougher. Very reserved yesterday. Sent out a tweet. I spoke to theresa may today to offer condolences on the Terrorist Attack in london. She is strong and doing very well. The president being very measured there and were told by sources that after a conversation with his new National Security adviser, h. R. Mcmaster who briefed him on what they knew and gave him a message, mr. President , at this moment lets try to keep it calm. Dont put things out there. It was different, yes . It was striking. He was very quiet yesterday. They put out a readout of his call with theresa may. He was just beginning a meeting when they got news of the attack. He made a very glancing reference to it. Some news out of london and did
not take the opportunity to talk about radical islamic terrorism or this is why we need to get tough or this is why we need my travel ban. It was very muted and what we learned later hes been talking to his National Security adviser about this, i think that thats probably the reason why. They also hadnt learned a whole hell of a lot by the time that hasnt stopped him before. That has not stopped him before. Thats a striking contrast. That look felt like a tweet that may have been written by someone else. The staff. May have felt like a staff tweet as opposed to the tap with two ps in the middle of the night. Were probably going to see a presidency that goes back and forth and any time you look youve turned the corner and have a restrained donald trump as president , you know, a few hours later youll have something else. His son acted differently. Donald trump jr. Tweeting an old article from the london mayor, a muslim, from september 22, 2016
in which the mayor said if you live in a big urban area like this. Donald trump tweeted out, you have to be kidding. Terror attacks are part of living in a big city, says london mayor. The mayor has said ive got more important things to do. He quoted the mayor out of context. Not to say the way donald trump jr. Said. And on day one, donald trump the president behaved differently but i would be curious when the muslim ban conversation comes back, does he start invoking london. The muslim ban grew out of the french attacks in the first place. That was his justification. Day one he behaved in a traditional way. Ill be curious if were talking about the muslim ban, hes defending it, on stage some way next week and invokes it in a way a lot of people dont support. Hes someone who generally likes to tweet about things he sees. Obviously weve seen going back way before he was a candidate some of the really bizarre things he decided to comment on. But with regard to yesterday,
im not saying he hasnt learned a lesson and hes not going to be president ial on big moments like this, but he also was a little distracted with trying to say that he was vindicated, which he was not by the house Intelligence Chair and trying to get his first important critical piece of legislation passed. To donald trump jr. , maybe focus on the business and stay out of politics . International relations . Everybody sit tight. Up next, new cnn reporting on the fbis Russian Election probe. And trump says hes been somewhat vindicated. Is that right . Allstate. With Accident Forgiveness they guarantee your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Smart kid. Indeed. Its good to be in, good hands. The kind of deep sleepnt. I can only get on my tempurpedic. It adapts to me. My shape, my size, my body. Tempurpedic. This sleep is power.

So switch and save hundreds when you go all unlimited with tmobile. Hes a nascar champion whos shes a worldclass swimmer whos stared down the best in her sport. But for both of them, the most challenging opponent was. Pe blood clots in my lung. It was really scary. A dvt in my leg. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. My doctor and i choose xarelto® xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Xarelto® is a latestgeneration blood thinner. Thats proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots from happening again. In clinical studies, almost 98 of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe. Heres how xarelto works. Xarelto® works differently. Warfarin interferes with at least six bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective. Targeting just one critical factor, interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase risk of blood clots. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If youve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures and before starting xarelto® about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Youve got to learn all you can. To help protect yourself from dvt and pe blood clots. Talk to your doctor about xarelto®. Theres more to know. They say it proved yesterday hes more interested in protecting President Trump than following the facts. The chairman will need to decide whether he is the chairman of an independent investigation into conduct which includes allegations of Potential Coordination between the Trump Campaign and the russians or he is going to act as a surrogate of the white house because he cannot do both. More on that wrinkle and the fallout in a moment. Important new cnn reporting on what the fbi director this week confirmed is an investigation into the possibility associates of then candidate donald trump coordinated with russian operatives last year just as the kremlin leaked hacked emails from the Democratic National committee and from Hillary Clintons campaign chairman. Several sources familiar with the investigation tell cnn the fbi has not concluded there was collusion but has gathered evidence suggesting such coordination may have taken place. Justice Correspondent Evan Perez helped break this story and joins us now to lay it out. What information do investigators have that make them believe there may have been some collusion or coordination as the fbi director put it in his public testimony this week . John, u. S. Officials tell cnn that the fbi has information that includes human intelligence, travel, business and Phone Records and accounts of inperson meetings that this information is raising the suspicions of the fbi counterintelligence investigator
