President trump gearing up for a rally later this evening in kentucky. Two major hearts meantime taking the spotlight in our nations capitol today. Blake burman is all over it all. He is at the white house with the latest. Blake . Reporter hi, there, connell, it is one of those days of where do you begin . The worlds richest person was here at white house today. That might be the fourth or fifth biggest headline out of the white house. Lets start with bill gates. He was here at the west wing speaking with the president. White House Press Secretary sean spicer said talking about Gates Foundation work and desire to stop disease outbreaks worldwide. After that when it turned focus for time being for health care for the president. He had a meeting with tom price, the head of health and human services. Paul ryan, house speaker, two folks would sit down here in washington with the president but also dr. Ezekiel emanuel, thats right, the brother of rahm emanuel, one of the architects of Affordable Care act also known as obamacare in the room with the other three talking about the way forward for health care. The while house saying today that the president has talked about reaching across party lines with health care and this is just yet another example of that. Earlier over the past hour or so the iraqi Prime Minister also made his way here to the white house. Hadir al abadie got here and sat down with his delegation and members of the white house. As that meeting was kicking off, president how many hoe was very critical of past iraq policy was again in front of his iraqi counterpart. Mosul was ours until we left. So perhaps we shouldnt have gone in and we certainly shouldnt have left. We should never, ever have left. Reporter i think behind me here in a second you will see mr. Abadi and his caravan leave. The big story of the day here in washington and at over on capitol hill is of course the hearing with james comey and the revelations that he made which are several fold. One, that theres an investigation into russia and potential conflicts, coordination with the Trump Campaign. Secondly he dismissed the wiretapping allegations that President Trump made. At the white house theyre pushing back on a lot of this. As far as the wiretapping stuff goes, the hearings are still underway, so that is not finished. They say, connell and melissa, at this point there is no connection made between russia and Trump Campaign. Connell sean spicer careful to point that out. Not much backing down at all. Melissa. Melissa speaker of the house paul ryan and senator rand paul are on sit wave lengths when it comes to the gop bills to replace and repeal obamacare. We feel very good where we are. Were still having conversations with our members. Were making finetuning improvements into the bills. To reflect peoples improvements. They call it repeal and replace. But when it doesnt fix the problems and they say they will fix the problem. They will own it. In a year Insurance Markets will still be unraveling. The Insurance Companies will be begging for more handouts. Melissa joining me adam brandon, president of freedomworks. Thanks so much for joining us. Let me start with the news of the day, what do you think about the idea of President Trump having tom price in a room with Ezekiel Emanuel . Is that a good strategy . Theyre trying to figure out where they can get the bill to where they get the majority of the members of the house to sign on to it. I wouldnt be surprised if they bought emanuel in there to try to understand the bill because it is such a complicated piece of machinery. And however, im not so sure i would want to have that person in the room trying to figure out how to fix this. Im more on senator rand paul side, we should use the opportunity to take out the entire bill and kind of start over. With a whole new system that focuses on lowering prices. So what would be the first thing you do . I know you say wipe out this bill entirely. Right. Melissa that will not happen between now and thursday. Right. Melissa if you were asked in a room, give me two things i could do right here that would make a big difference in your mind what would they be . I would start by freezing medicaid expansion. That to me is scary thing. I dont know how we will pay for that. All incentives are to keep people pumping into the system. The second thing im very concerned about are some of these, i guess you could call them vouchers or tax credits that are going to be dished out for folks. Im concerned those will become a longterm entitlement. What were heading for is a government sponsored voucher that everyone would then take to a private insurer. I would probably want to take those out of the bill. And then, those are two great starting points. Melissa i hear you. One of the big selling problems with this bill though is, right away you saw it, folks on the other side carve it out, the idea that policies or prices for people that were, you know in their 60s went way up. That was one of the things that paul ryan was saying he would target many so of those health care credits at or vouchers youre talking about. Right. Melissa how would you deal with the problem of getting it past this first hurdle with those prices on that age group if you didnt do the voucher thing . My whole strategy if i was running this would be go back to the 2015 repeal bill where you had all but five republicans, it was most unity the republicans have had in long time on obamacare. You start with the repeal portion and then there is a phaseout of about two or three years where you could go back in. If you have a problem with a certain population, you pass legislation that serves that population. So if youre concerned about young people with cancer or old people in 60s or 70s, there are Different Things that you can do to fix those different populations. But right now what im still nervous about, hopefully there are amendments coming up, and i trust secretary price quite a bit on this stuff, well have to get at the regulatory nature of obamacare because there are so much in the bill that is written just said, hey the secretary should decide this or the secretary will decide that, that we need to to unthat. My concern if secretary price does a great job and next president decides they will put regulations back . Melissa that makes a lot of sense. Adam, thanks for coming on and appreciate your time. Connell to add into the conversation, liz peek, fiscal times, former Trump Campaign advisor steve cortes as well. Liz to begin with you, through the perspective how we look at things, that would be the financial markets, with the conversation melissa is having about health care, if thursday, say, doesnt go well and things do not pass do you start to get a feeling here maybe this trump rally that weve all been reporting on in the markets at some point, havent seen it yet, today doesnt see much action at all might be in jeopardy . People might think the rest of his agenda is in trouble as well . I think it would be a disaster if the bill does not pass on thursday, the seventh anniversary of obamacare being part of our country. Connell disaster for markets . Here is why. We know tax reform is backed up behind it. I think both of those things are incredibly important for optimism which surged so significantly since the election to continue surging. That said, i am optimistic it will go well thursday. I think that President Trump has done a good job of bringing a lot of people on board. Face it, this is what he called a big fat negotiation. People for the last two or three weeks, a lot of people writing about this was immutable product. There was no chance to amend it. Senators that dont like it will stay in opposition. The fact that trump is going to kentucky is totally predictable and terrific. Where is rand paul from . He is in kentucky. Trump won kentucky by significantly higher margin than rand paul won reelection in november. This is a heads up to conservative senators and congressman, if they want trump out there working for him they have to come on board. Connell it is interesting, steve, to back up lizs point, if thursday doesnt go well for the republicans it may be to use her term a disaster. They are down eight points in people bet on that. There must be thinking this will get done and the legislative agenda will go through. Investigation of fbi we now know about and many other things weve already brought up. What do you think . You know, yeah, connell i think youre exactly right. Markets are correctly predicting we get the bill through. What donald trump is showing us as president he is negotiator in chief and deal maker in chief. He is delivering on his promise. One of the reasons washington, d. C. Is almost approfleck tick over donald trump and why theyre trying to create scandals doesnt exist regarding russia because they cant believe he really meant everything he said during the campaign. He is doing it. Here just weeks into his administration. Repeal and replace. Its a big fat beautiful negotiation that is going to replace and repeal obamacare which is no necessary for Economic Growth. Your prior guest i think, adam asked how will we pay for this with the voucher system . The way we pay for it, is much faster Economic Growth partly because were removing that hurdle of obamacare. Melissa all right. The worlds richest man is back meeting with President Trump. This time to talk about topics from the economy to gates criticism of president cutting foreign aid budget. So, liz, let me start with you, does it strike you as odd that he would be having this meeting with bill gates talking about funding foreign governments at a time when Everything Else is going on . Well, if you had a chance to sit down with bill gates you would probably take it, right . My guess invitation to the oval office is pretty irresistible even to bill gates. There is a topic with a lot of discord twine these go people, that is foreign aid. Bill gates took time to write a oped encouraging donald trump not to cut foreign aide. How it was important to health and stability in other nations, et cetera. I would counter, if i had been in the oval office with the editorial in the wall street journal today about some of the nonsensical things were spending money on under the guise of usaid. Like Everything Else there is a middle ground. Trump has taken a pretty big whack out of that budget. That my guess is pretty much what they talked about. Melissa steve what do you think, real quick . America first is the policy he ran on. His budget shows that. We dont need a bunch of globalists in the statedepartmen taxpayer money on their globalist agenda. We need a America First policy, financially, securitywise, in all ways. I love he is reaching out to mr. Gates but i doubt they agree. Melissa thank you to both of you. Connell weve talked about how crazy a busy day and hearings it has been. It is not over for President Trump as he will hit the road in about an hour, headed there, louisville, kentucky, theyre lining up for another big rally. Well take you there for a preview. Melissa north korea testing a new rocket engine despite repeated warnings from the u. S. And threat and reaction from the president. Connell neil gorsuch President Trumps pick for the Supreme Court. He made his Opening Statement at his nomination hearing. Democrats looking to make the case against them. Youre arguing that the senate should rubberstamp at nominee. Nominate is president who lost the popular vote by nearly three million votes. Od with us when a fire destroyed everything in our living room. We replaced it all without touching our savings. Yeah, our insurance wont do that. No. You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty Mutual Insurance when liberty stands with you™. As after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Deartheres no other way to say this. Its over. Ive found a permanent escape from monotony. Together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. I know this is sudden, but they say if you love something. Set it free.

President trumps Supreme Court nominee in the spotlight. Nomination heartings for judge neil gorsuch, delivering his Opening Statement in front of the Senate JudiciaryCommittee Last hour. Peter barnes following it all from capitol hill. Peter . Reporter melissa thats right. Tomorrow the real questioning gets underway. S today with Opening Statements for all the senators on the Senate Judiciary committee as well as an Opening Statement from judge gorsuch to tee up issues the senators will ask the judge about tomorrow. One is the judges support for the socalled original intent doctrine, the legal doctrine that argues that justices should interpret the law based largely on the original intent of the Founding Fathers in the writing of constitution looking for text to make rulings. That is the doctrine that Justice Antonin Scalia advanced and if confirmed gorsuch would replace him and he hinted that he favored originalism. Judge scalia was a mentor too, that words matter, to follow the words are in the law, not replace them with those that arent. Reporter critics say original intent handcuffses justices because it limits ability to interpret the constitution to modern and changing times. Melissa. Melissa peter, thank you. Connell leonard leo, Supreme Court advisor to President Trump to talk a little more about justice gorsuch. You were involved in the vetting process and maybe can give us a little more background ahead of tomorrows questioning of the justice, why was the pick of President Trump .
