Famous House Freedom caucus, a conservative trent franks of arizona, about where he is. He told me that he is undeclared, meaning hes close to deciding, he pretty much knows inside where hes going to go, but he hadnsnt said public. Heres how he described the atmosphere. You and your fellow Freedom Caucus members you think have made this bill better for conservatives. But enough do you think that you and your fellow Freedom Caucus members will be able to vote yes . See, thats the big question. Im convinced weve made it better. We want to make it even better. And it will just depend on whether or not those of us in our own hearts and conscious, where that line will be. And i dont know. Reporter so wolf, that is the conservative side of the republican equation. The bigger problem at this hour seems to be the moderate side. You have some pretty important moderates suddenly saying, you know what, i cant support this because of the changes you just heard trent franks describe, the conservatives got from the white house and from the Republican Leadership. One key example, one huge red flag and again my colleague Phil Mattingly was reporting this earlier today, congressman fral fraleyhow zen, not a household name, one of the more moderate republican, chairman of the House Appropriations committee, one of the most powerful members of the House Republican conference, gets a job like that because hes close to the leadership. He is breaking with the leadership, breaking with the president , saying hes going to vote no. That is not a good sign. And kind of gives you a sense of why from the left of the caucus to the right of the caucus, they are still having big problems and the votes simply are not there. And were waiting to see what that means for whether or not this bill even gets a vote. Were also waiting for the start of the White House Press briefing. You can see live pictures coming in. Well hear from sean spicer, get the white house reaction to these very dramatic developments. Dana, stand by. Well get back to you. The significance of what is happening up on capitol hill cannot be overstated. Lets get some analysis starting with gloria borger. If in fact the speaker is now telling the president the votes are not there, what do you want to do, there are few options, continue with the vote, try to see if you can eek something through, or cancel it, postpone it once again and not be humiliated if it goes down to defeat . And the president may have a different view from paul ryan. I mean paul ryan may believe that if its down a handful of are votes and they can possibly get it, they should go for it. And the president and his advisers who delivered the ultimatum and said were having this vote tomorrow no matter what may feel differently. May feel, you know what, these guys dont want to do this, fine. They werent in love with this bill in the first place. They know its a huge loss. The president last mused about whether this was the right order do things. The knives are already out on both 150sides. And they may decide lets just roll the dice. Politically obviously this would be a huge loss for him. Either way though if he lost on the floor or if he pulls the bill, i mean none of these are good choices for the white house. None of them. And i think the president also thinks that the loss is delayed for him more so than for republicans on the hill. I mean, theyre facing many of them reelection in two years. And virtually in a year they have to start facing constituents. The president is looking at his own reelection, hes thinking four years out and maybe if i can give my constituents something and tax reform is a little bit closer to a give me than health care, than hes better off. So its hard. I think paul ryan definitely has to take seriously the possibility that trump as hes said many times over the last two weeks did not want to do this first. He wanted to start with something that he felt was more central to his mission of getting jobs out there for his constituents like tax reform, like infrastructure. And so there is a serious consideration that the president does not want to really deal with this especially given how hard its been. And its a tough decision they will have to make in the next hour or two to go ahead and let the vote take place, the roll call vote, 435 member, house of representatives, or into you just say you know what, well postpone it one more time, give it some more time to see if they can make some changes to guarantee success. Yeah, im not sure how that will guarantee success. What i think is particularly troubling for the proponents of the bill is this reporting coming out of in meeting that paul ryan was going to deliver bad news, that the votes arent there. Because what happens now, you can start to see now after that report was out there, we learned Barbara Comstock from a very competitive Congressional District in virginia, her spokesman declaring shes a no vote. We didnt know that before. What happens is that members are going to start feeling if indeed they see these reports in these hours that this is blowing up, then it may not just be a handful of votes that they need to plug the dam, but all of a sudden a lot more votes start appearing in the no column and then its a bigger problem. And the fact that Barbara Comstock from Northern Virginia has now apparently a no, congressman free link housen as we heard from dana, that is a big deal. And so this must be a revelation in some ways to President Trump that rodney free link housen who i put he pick out of a lineup could have such a con consequential voice. Everybody has a voice. And would be problem that i think president obama will face is a loss here will affect his ability to get the tax bill he want. A loss here will affect his approval rating. Everything is of a piece when youre president. And things are not compartmentalized in the way that they might be say in the business world. And were waiting for sean spicer to brief reporters. I assume he himself is getting briefed right now. But how does he deal with a sensitive issue like this . How does he walk that delicate line . Well, he told us repeatedly there is no plan b. Remember that. So if that is true, what do they do . He said were going to win, there is no plan b. And maybe he was right. Maybe they take to a vote and there is no plan b. And i think that we got a clue as to what the plan b was from last night which is to move on. Right, to move on. And the president delivered that message when they delivered the ultimatum that we want this vote today and this of course was their gambit, but they basically said and if not, if you vote this down, were going to move on and you have to live with the fact that you voted to keep obamacare. And were going to take some names. Donald trump has a long memory and he will start taking some names of these members perhaps the Freedom Caucus, programs its the moderates with whom one might think he might be aligned. Hes not ideological. I mean this is the thing that donald trump is up against right now. Hes up against people with really sort of rigid sets of beliefs that they ran on. Donald trump is a businessman who wants to make deals. And in making deals, you make sx compromises. And when you talk to the Freedom Caucus, what hes learning is that theyre ideologues. They believe in things for many years and that this is their moment to prove that actually they do have a set of beliefs and hes not used to it in business negotiations, its about money. Its about cutting a deal so everyone can be happy and make a profit. This is not what this is about. And i think it might be sort of eyeopening for him to understand that he cannot control this to a certain degree. He excerpts a exerts a lot of influence, but people are about their own survival. And its also personal. A exe influence, but people are about their own survival. And its also personal. Health care is both an ideological hill to die on for some folks but its also people who dont want go home and look their constituents in the eye and say hey, that maternity coverage is no longer in your plan because of something i did. And so trump talks about the give and take on this Health Care Bill as being all about politics. And it is not because its also about people. And thats one of the reasons its one of the hardest things that anybody much any party has to do. Everybody stand by because the vote on the Health Care Bill isnt the only drama playing out on capitol hill right now. There is an internal battle, a significant battle, in the House Intelligence Committee over the investigation into russian meddling in the president ial election here in the United States. It began today with a statement from President Trumps former Campaign ChairmanPaul Manafort saying this, this is a statement from are his attorney. Mr. Manafort instructed his representatives to reach out to Committee Staff and offer to provide information voluntarily regarding recent allegations about russian interference in the election. Mr. Manafort has always maintained he looks forward to meeting with those conducting serious investigations of these issues to discuss the facts spoon after that, the House Intelligence Committee chairman and panels top democrat appeared before the cameras separately. Listen. They totally disagreed on the not necessarily the manafort decision to come before the panel, they totally disagreed on the whole issue of having an open hearing on monday before former Intelligence Leaders during the Obama Administration who had been scheduled to testify, the chairman devin nunes announcing that that Committee Hearing on monday has been canceled. And just a little while ago, another Development Former virz to the candidate donald trump roger stone says he will voluntarily talk to the House Committee himself preferably in public. Our senior Congressional Correspondent manu raju is following all these development. One more former adviser says he will volunteer to speak publicly, answer questions before the committee. These are all dramatic developments. Well get to that in a moment. But this feud has really escalated today between the chairman and the ranking democrat on the chairmans decision to cancel the hearing on monday. Reporter yeah, that is right. The question is how did this committee move forward begin that it seems to have broken down in partisan rancor. But piece of news just now, ive obtained a letter here from car tore page, a Foreign Policy adviser in the early parts of the Trump Campaign who says that he, too, is willing to come forward and testify to the House Intelligence Committee. Now, he wants to, quote, set the record straight in a very strongly worded letter to devin nunes and adam schiff, top two members on the House Intelligence Committee. He says the attacks are fueled by lies, he did not try to coordinate with the russians and says, quote, i would eagerly welcome the chance to speak with the committee to help finally set the record straight following the false evidence, illegal activities as well as the other lies distributed by certain politically motivated suspects in coordination with the Obama Administration which defamed me and other americans. Now, the question is will he be testify publicly or will Paul Manafort testify publicly and will rogers stone testify publicly. But we dough knee o know one pu hearing that was supposed to take place on tuesday with three former top level intelligence and National Security officials was abruptly canceled by the chairman of the Committee Devin Nunes earlier today who did not believe that this should go forward. Instead he wanted to have a private classified briefing with james comey and mike ronlgi isrd of the National Security agency. This did not go over well with democrats who believe mr. Nunes was trying to squelch the efforts of the public to learn about what has happen the between russia and Trump Campaign. And i asked mr. Schiff what do you think about the decision and can he continue to serve on the committee. To take evidence that may or may not be related to the investigation to the white house was wholly inappropriate. And of course cast grave doubts into the ability to run a credible investigation and the integrity of that investigation. Do you believe that he can still run this committee or should he step aside . Ultimately that is a decision that the speaker needs to make. And i think the speaker has to decide just as well as their own chairm chairman whether they want an investigation that the public can have confidence in. Now of course this comes after that decision by mr. Nunes to breeief the president on information mr. Nunes received from a source showing that some Communications May have been picked up sounds like sean spicer is at the podium. Yeah, well get back to you. President ial permit for the keystone xl pipeline. Last Administration Spent eight years delaying this enormous investment in American Energy independence. And President Trump is moving this project forward in just eight week. And as he promised, items s a better deal for the American People. This project will generate an estimated 16,100 jobs according to the state department. All without spending a dime of taxpayer money. In many ways, this project represented everything that was wrong with the infrastructure permitting of the United States. Transcanada spent an incredible amount of resources attempting to comply with regulations only to be denied and delayed for political reasons. But the days of pointless government bureaucracy, holding up progressing and production have ended by simply getting excessive due application came difference regulation out of wait. We can make Infrastructure Projects more at track if i hav difference regulation out of wait. We can make Infrastructure Projects more at track if i have attractive process spekt. Immediately following the announcement by transcanada, the president announced that Charter Communications has committed to investing 25 billion here in the United States and hiring an additional 20,000 American Workers over the next four years. Charter communications is truly an example of how American Leadership can turn a downward into an amazing success. Five years ago car cher xhcher communications was a struggling company that slowly emerged from bankruptcy. Today thanks to the great leadership of tom rutledge, it is the Fastest Growing television, internet and Voice Company in the nation. And as xhcharter grew, american jobs grew. Today charter is also committed to completely ending its offshore call centers faci plac 100 in the United States. The president calls the american model. By slashing job killing regulations and reducing government burdens and lowering taxes, well make it easier for all Business Gross right here at home generating jobs and boosting our economy by getting government out of the way. Following these big announcements, the president had lunch with secretary of the treasury steve mnuchin. He was joined by speaker paul ryan. Ill update you in a second on that. Later in the afternoon, the president will host a greek independent day celebrationing and as i mentioned yesterday, at 4 00, he will meet with about two dozen medal of honor recipients to honor medal of honor day which is technically tomorrow. Hes honored to be hosting these great men and women of our armed services, greatest force for peace about and justice the world has ever known. And obviously later today the house will be voting on the American Health care act. Current vote is scheduled for 3 30. The president has been working the phones and having inperson meeting since the act was introduced. Hes left everything on the field when it comes to this bill. The president Congressional Republicans promised the American People that they would repeal and replace this broken system. Obamacare is washington driven one size fits all plan had seven years to prove its case and look what its left us with. Skyrocketing premiums, on average premiums for benchmark plans increased 25 in 2017. Unaffordable deductibles, two most popular Obamacare Health plans have average equivalent to 10 and 6 of the median American Household income. With these high deductibles, many people have technically in
