For its military moves in ukraine for the first time and warning israel about new developments and settlements in the west bank. All longestablished approaches actually used by the Obama Administration. Mr. Trump taking the page from the obama playbook with iran, threatening additional sanctions over last weeks Ballistic Missile test. Day 15 of Donald Trumps presidency. Our coverage begins with jeff zeleny at the bhous. Good morning, chris. President trump is forming his Foreign Policy. Its far too early to say what a trump dock krin would look like. This morning there are similarities between the Previous Administration and this one and many differences between candidate trump and President Trump. President trump telling israel not so fast with settlement construction in the west bank and east jerusalem. The white house releasing a statement warning israel that the expansion of existing settlements behind their current borders may not be helpful in achieving peace. Those words sounding similar to the Obama Administrations approach to the settlements. They cannot permanently occupy and settle palestinian land. Reporter far different from the tone mr. Trump took on the campaign trail. Israel, our great friend and the one true democracy in the middle east has been snubbed and criticized by an administration that lacks moral clarity. Reporter the white house noting that President Trump has not taken an official position yet and will continue discussions when he meets with israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in two weeks. I must condemn the aggressive actions of risch yeah. Reporter tough talk coming from un Ambassador Nikki Haley condemning russia for a recent surge of violence in Eastern Ukraine. We do want to better our relations with russia. However, the dire situation in Eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of russian actions. Her rhetoric stronger than the president s comments on russia. Sources tell cnn they signed off on haleys speech. Meanwhile today the white house could announce additional tougher sanctions on iran following sundays Ballistic Missile test. These sanctions expected to be similar to actions by former president obama. Mr. Trump also not ruling out military action. Nothing is off the table. I havent eased anything. Reporter Foreign Policy center stage on Rex Tillersons first day as secretary of state. Hi, im the new guy. Reporter speaking with foreign leaders from israel, germany and mexico, but also doing damage control after the president s tense phone call with australia. President obama said they were going to take probably well over a thousand immigrants that were in prisons and bring them into this country. I said why. Reporter Republican Leaders alarmed at the president s tone toward a longstanding u. S. Ally. The relationship between the United States and australia is of the greatest importance. Im concerned about the effect of this difference. Reporter coming up this morning in about 30 minutes, the first jobs report of this presidency and the reaction from the white house will be interesting to watch. During the president ial campaign mr. Trump always said the Unemployment Rate was far higher than the government said it was. This will be his first Unemployment Rate since taking office. By the end of the day, the president is heading to floor for his first weekend retreat vacation as president at maralago. Interesting to see what happens. Thank you for previewing that. Top republicans are shifting their stance on obamacare saying it should be repaired, not repealed. Also doing something controversial on gun control. Lets bring in Phil Mattingly live on capitol hill. Whats the latest . Reporter when it comes to the Affordable Care act, the republican efforts to repeal and replace it, no question its going to be hard, particularly getting the team, getting the Republican Party to coalesce around a repair plan. Theyre also having language problems. The idea of do you repair obamacare or repair the issue. Listen to what paul ryan had to say. Theres a miscommunication or misinterpretation of what were trying to say. Our job is to rebare a Health Care System from collapse. The best way to the that is repeal and replace obamacare. As you heard, repair the system, not the law. Still Big Questions about what the actual replace plan will look like. Repeal and replace still the strate strategy. The house is moving forward on a particular provision, a rule put in place at the tail end of their final days in office. Requiring the Social Security administration to forward criminal background checks names of anybody listed as unable to handle their own benefit payments. The rationalization was to cut back on their ability to buy guns. That rule has now been blocked by the u. S. House. The u. S. Senate is expected to focus to vote on it soon. I will tell you guys the reason why is not just because of the nra. The aclu also had due process concerns here. If you want to see action, there are things that are actually happening on capitol hill even if the democrats dont always like it. Boy, oh, boy, such an interesting context that it comes down to mental health. We dont do enough about it, but when we do do something, it causes another fight. Joining Us Democratic congressman adam schiff, Ranking Member of the house intelligence committee. Good morning, chris. The Trump Administration seems to suggest the following, you were weak, the Obama Administration was weak, our foreign allies and sad sayers knew it and took advantage. I am strong and will lay the groundwork for our supremacy and then they will do what we say. Do you believe thats the right approach and do you believe its work . I dont believe its accurate or the right approach. It goes beyond that. Its not just enemies took advantage of america. You listen to the president s statements at the Prayer Breakfast yesterday, everyone in the world was taking advantage of america, all playing america for a fool, were the victim of an International Conspiracy of friend and foe alike. This is why he had such a hostile interaction with the australian Prime Minister. I think his world view is darker than that. This is also a trend were seeing in the early days of this administration which is blame everything on the last guy that was in the office. That kind of thing is only going to last so long. They really have to take responsibility for their own Foreign Policy, and i dont think merely talking tough with our friends as well as our enemies, everyone except putin apparently, is a very good strategy. You just had nikki haley following through on their thought, it is that theyre setting the ground rules that america is not joking around anymore. Nikki haley goes into the un and says, russia, until you get out of the crimean peninsula, well keep the sanctions in effect. Thats tough talk. Saying about ukraine, that the new violence there, thats a concern for us. This country has been quiet on ukraine. Theres been some talk but not enough action. John mccain asking for the weapons that the Obama Administration would not give to kiev to defend itself. That could be an opportunity to be stronger, no . Absolutely. I would say nikki haleys statement was probably the best statement of the administration thus far. Admittedly its a pretty short list. Yes, i like everything ability what she said. Theres still a question about whether the president really subscribes to that policy. At the same time she was making that statement, the administration was sending a different signal to russia by a small relaxation of the sanctions on russia. That was a symbolic measure, largely technical, but the symbolism was in the wrong direction. What does that mean . Does that mean were following the nikki haley policy or does that mean donald trump still thinks russia is our friend . I would love to see us pass legislation to provide weapons to the ukraine, to the leaders in ukraine to provide for their own defense is something i advocated during the Obama Administration i disagreed with during the Obama Administration. Will the president support that policy . Thats yet to be seen. Id like to see the president say a few things that nikki haley said. Another thing for you to chew on for us this morning. You said the president had a tough call with the Prime Minister of australia. I agree with that. Administration officials back that up. The president put out a tweet this morning calling that fake news. One of his counselors referenced as an attack of the existing refugee policies and vetting in the United States a massacre in Bowling Green that never happened. Called out a ban for six months of iraqi refugees, that never happened. How do you deal with those types of bold face inaccuracies . Thats exactly what they are. Apparently, according to the Trump Administration fake news is synonymous with any bad press they get. If they get bad press, its fake. At the same time they demonstrated a willingness to event facts at will. Certainly Kellyanne Conway talking about a nonexistent massacre in Bowling Green. People on social media were saying where were you when this event never took place . Frankly, the false fire in chief, donald trump himself, perpetuating this fabrication that millions of undocumented immigrants vote in the election. You couldnt have something more supremely false than that. That was the single most disturbing thing in the early days after the election, that the president would put out this fiction. So i think you just have to confront it. I want to applaud you and applaud the media that are not going to normalize this propagation of patently false information coming out of the white house. They are trying to bully everyone including the media, and theyre trying to set different Media Outlets against each other. I think its very destructive. Theres a bigger problem. Theres an old adage, you cant convince somebody of the truth if they are intent on believing a lie. I think part of the problem here is political. The base that got donald trump does not like you, they dont like your party or what you represent. They would rather believe him in the hope that he will make their life better. They will support him even though they dont believe what hes saying because they dont like you. How can you win these people back . They matter. They absolutely matter. There are going to be some people that cant be won over. Youre right. Theyre going to believe whatever this president says because they want to believe it. I dont think you can persuade those people. Those arent the majority even of trump voters. The vast majority of people that i think voted for donald trump voted for him because they were worried about the economy, they were worried about the fact that they werent living the life they hoped and expected and had even less prospects for their kids. Those are people we can talk to, those are people we need to talk to. Those are not people ready to believe anything merely because donald trump says it. I think we have to continue to call out this administration when theyre saying things that are patently untrue. We have to speak to people we didnt speak to in the campaign and i think, frankly, these ought to be natural democratic voters. When you look at all the wall street people theyre filling the positions with, the fact they want to roll back the doddfrank regulations that got us into that horrendous recession and jeopardize peoples economic futures, we are the party that do represent those voters. We didnt make the case in the election. Were going to have to do better. Got to offer better. Always good to have you with us, congressman. Look forward to seeing you again. Thanks, chris. Following breaking news out of paris. A man wielding a large knife rushed soldiers near the Louvre Museum causing one soldier to open fire, reportedly screaming allah akbar during the attack. A second speck also under arrest. A terror investigation under way. Paris has been under a state of emergency since the november 2015 terror attacks that left at least 130 people dead. Still under a heightened state of emergency there in france. Now we know why. Repealing and replacing obamacare. That was the bread and butter of President Trumps campaign when it came to domestic policy. Now Top Republicans say another r is more workable, repair. Lets dig deeper with a gop senator. What is going to be your reality when it comes to getting insurance if your employer doesnt give it to you next . This is one gorgeous truck. Special edition. Oh, did i say theres only one special edition . Because, actually theres 5. Aaaahh ooohh uh holy mackerel. Wow. Nice. Strength and style. Which ones your favorite . Come home with me its truck month find your tag for an average total value over 11,000 on Chevy Silverado all star editions when you finance through gm financial. Find new roads at your local chevy dealer. A uh, you asked to see me, coffee . Yeah, listen, sugar, were, uh. Lettin you go. Wait, what . People love sweet taste. Thats true, but sweet aint enough anymore. Its that splenda naturals gal, isnt it . Yeah. I knew it look, not only is she sweet, shes got natural stevia, no bitter aftertaste, and of course, zero calories. Ohh, not the calories again. Sugar, youre full of calories. I know ugh so all the partners agree . Even iced tea . Especially iced tea. Goodbye, sugar. Hello, new splenda naturals. Goodbye, sugar. But when we brought our daughter home, that was it. Now i have nicoderm cq. The nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release Technology Helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. Its the best thing that ever happened to me. Every great why needs a great how. Despite republican promises to repeal obamacare, lets discuss this with wyoming republican senator john barrasso. Good morning, senator. Good morning, alisyn. Thanks for having me. Great to have you. Is the plan to repeal obamacare over . Absolutely not. Im committed, even though obamacare cannot be fixed, health care in america has to be fixed. Im committed to finding longterm solutions to help patients get the care they need from a doctor they choose at lower costs. Got it. It sounds like the language has shifted to instead of wholesale repeal, repair what you have. We need to repeal the Health Care Law and replace it with things that actually provide relief for the people hurt by the Health Care Law. Thats how i look it as a doctor who has practiced medicine for 25 years. So many people in my home state of wyoming had insurance that they like, prices went way up. It was canceled because of the obamacare regulations. We want to get the decisions out of washington. I want patients to make those decisions, put the decisions at the state level, give much more freedom, flexibility and choice there than washington dictated. People are tired of the bureaucracy, tired of all the headaches and hassles that have come with the Health Care Law. It sounds like your colleagues, like senator Lamar Alexander are using different language. Let me read it for you. He said think of it as a collapsing bridge. In the meantime, we repair it. No one is talking about repealing anything until theres a concrete practical alternative to offer americans in its place. Hes talking about repairing it right now, not repealing it. He and i met with a number of state Insurance Commissioners this week along with a large group of senators to talk about how anyone who has insurance today doesnt loolz it tomorrow, provide a safe transition to those people so they can get Affordable Care. But right now theres general agreement that obamacare has failed, Insurance Markets across the country are collapsing, and other Insurance Companies are saying they dont want to participate in the exchanges either. I Want Health Care for people that they can use, even those that have obamacare. We see so many of them, the deductibles or copays are so high, they cant even afford to use the insurance theyve gotten from obamacare even if theyre getting subsidies to pay for the premiums. Senator, youve always done a good job of laying out the issues and the problems with it as you see it. When will you all have a plab . As we also said, were not going to bring down a 2700page bill to the floor of the senate. We want to do this, as we said, piece by piece, step by step, and thats what were working on now, to make sure we go through the steps. We have to get our secretary of health and Human Services
