And any more defections would essentially kill this bill. Senators have expressed concerns over the bill and tried to make changes swinging the deal. It may give Mitch Mcconnell more time to make those deals and give the administration more time to convince republican governors who have come out against the revised bill. Here is tom price on sunday morning futures. Our concern is to make sure every single american has access to the coverage they want for themselves and their families. The bill has changed significantly. So there is significant opportunity for that goal to be accomplished. The. Arthel there has been a fullcourt press across the board. Is the gop leadership any closer to getting the votes they need for this to pass . We know of a number of amendments that have been add to win over those conservative lawmakers. But at this point ensue and collins of maine who is one of the two senators who plans to vote against the bill says she is not ready to rule out Mitch Mcconnell. There are a lot of us who have concerns about the bill. On the senate side i would estimate there are about 810 republican senators who have deep concerns. But how this would translate out im not certain. And i never underestimate leader mcconnells skills. The white house has been heavily involved in this effort as well. And it will give them more time to lean on republicans to come in and support it. Arthel joining us is congresswoman marcia blackburn. Of course we want to start and say we wish senator mccain a full recovery. A very strong man and we want him to heal well. Lets start here with you, how do you think this delay affects the senates healthcare bill . I believe it gives the senate the opportunity to work a little bit more on the bill. They will get their cbo estimate tomorrow. And that will give them a few days to do some finetuning. Once senator mccain is back to full health and returns to d. C. , they will be able to call their vote. I know they are looking forward to it. We want to begin the process and arthel, its important to realize its a process its going to take us a couple years to get everything off the books and retore our nations healthcare understand and Healthcare Delivery systems to full health and centered on the patient instead of the government. Do you support the latest draft of the senate gop bill or are there areas of concern for you . There are areas of concern for me as there are for many. Ill also want to make certain that the states who have been telling us for years, our governors and our state, elected officials saying send medicaid to us. We can deliver a better product at a more affordable cost and take better care, making certain individual have access to Affordable Care. Our states, we want to make certain we do send medicaid back to the states. You are no fan of obamacare. Given the uphill battle to to repeal and replace it, is it time to start looking at fixing the faulty elements of obamacare . What we have learned is that this is structurally flawed. There is no way to fiction this marketplace except to take the Health Insurance aca marketplace down. Right now when you are looking at in the 2018 insurance year. 44 of the nations counties will have only one or no provider of a marketplace understand plan. So that means that you are putting individual in those counties in the crosshairs, if you will, for irs penalties and with lack of access to a marketplace compliant plan. So its unfair to penalize them. And its unfair to turn to them and say others have subsidies, but you dont because you have no marketplace plan. It is 44 of our nations counties that would find themselves in that position. So preserving the status quo doesnt work. This is structurally flawed. We voted 26 times to amendment portions of the Affordable Care act. What that has not done is fix it. Because you cant fiction this. You need to take it off and start over. Arthel are you willing to work with democrats on a new healthcare bill . Absolutely. We continue to invite and encourage our democrat colleagues to work with us on this so when we do the repairs that are necessary for the Affordable Care act and move to a new posture, its something thats going to be workable and provide certainty and stability for the Health Insurance marketplace and the delivery systems, and also for the reimbursement systems for our healthcare providers. So doing this in a bipartisan way is something thats much preferred rather than having it be something that is just a partisan battle . Arthel right now you have got all the democrats saying no to the current draft of the gop bill. Its disappointing to me. Many times they will come to you and say we know something has to be done. Understand marketplace is imploding. Health insurance premiums in my state, tennessee, have gone up 176 since this went into effect. You cannot sustain that. We also talked to constituent. Yesterday in my district talking with individuals that are selfemployed who would say i cant afford this insurance. I talked to one family with their premiums and deductibles combined together, they are out of pocket 30,000 before anything kicks in. Now their combined Household Income is just over 75,000. It is very unaffordable. So you have to do something. Our democrat colleagues. They are hearing the same thing. They know something has to be done also. I find it so unfortunate that its become such a partisan debate, we are ready to do the fizz one items. Let dr. Price handle phase two with the things he can do. Arthel you know President Trump cast doubt on the cbo scoring of healthcare. Do you have confidence in the cbo score . We have a doubt about cbo because they were so far off base when they did the first scoring for obamacare. Their estimates of the number of people they expected to be in the marketplace were so far off base. I know that i expect their estimates are going to be off again. Bear in mind, 19 million americans chose to opt out or pay the penalty and not go into the Affordable Care act marketplace. Cbo they just have not estimated that properly, and i dont think they are going to estimate it properly this time around either. But i look forward to hearing what they have to say. Arthel congresswoman marcia blackburn, enjoy the rest of your day. Eric President Trump is criticizing the media and its coverage of the russian investigation. This as we keep learning more about who was at the meeting between donald trump, jr. And the russian lawyer. Prime minister was joined by Jared Kushner and paul manafort, and by the russian lobbyist, rinat akhmetshin. And the rub sift rob gol goldste who set the meeting up. And one unidentified person. Kevin corke near the Trump National golf course where the president is attending the u. S. Womens golf open today. The president keeps trying to compare Hillary Clintons situation with his sons. Can you explain . Reporter white house officials will tell you its the clearest example of media hypocrisy. Consider what happens there with the media treatment of his son. It was the Clinton Campaign that was accused of colluding with the ukraine government. And they say this just a clear example of hypocrisy to say the least. I want to say this. The white house will tell you Hillary Clinton is the subject of a lot of tweets by the president. Hillary clinton can illegally get the questions to the debate but my son don is being scorned by the Fake News Media . And speaking of. Its i think pretty clear that questions remain about what don, jr. Hoped to achieve by taking that meeting in the first place and whether it may have violated the law. Chris wasnt it soliciting something of value, the kremlins effort to tip the election to donald trump. Its not a thing of value. There is never a case that says Opposition Research is a thing of value. Reporter it would be illegal to try to obtain something of value in that circumstance. This is one of those situation to be completely honest with you, its a gray area of law. You heard jay sekulow say this has never been the case, at least legally speaking. Eric as far as the ukraine, it was a dnc consultant. They denied that. The democrats are ratcheting you have the pressure. What is the response to that . Reporter the white house is well aware at least from their perspective that this is political, it has been political, it will continue to be political for the foreseeable future. But they say they have to be mindful of the fact that this can get serious and ratchet it up quickly. In particular when you are talking about words being thrown around like obstruction and perjury. The meeting at first was only about russia, immigration policies, then adoptions. Then he said there were 3 or 4 people. Now we know there are many more people. Im not sure why we take anybody in the senior level of the Trump Administration at their word. Thats why its important to question these individuals. Reporter very strong words from mark warner, the snore from virginia. Now the implication is this is a serious matter that has to be managed very carefully. We are only at sunday and i think this will become bigger as we go throughout the day. Trump is at the u. S. Nationals womens final round. If the russians were going to hack the u. S. Election system, the great spies of russia, vladimir putin, is he going to reach out to some television or movie producer or talent and put it in the pun email system and bring as many people as possible to a meeting at trump tower . Give me a break. Eric thats Corey Lewandowski questioning whether this was orchestrated by moscow. Bowters are saying it fits a pattern of secret propaganda to influence u. S. Policy and it did that perfectly. Chairman of the gatesstone institute in new york. How do the russians do it, how does this type of approach, could it potentially fit that strategy or not . John i think the russians and chinese will try anything they can think of to gain access to key Decision Makers for all kinds of purposes. Thats why this debate, those who say this was fits the pattern of a classic fsb operation. Others say it looks like a bunch of much clowns trying to organize a clown convention. This is the world of counter intelligence. This is why people develop paranoia trying to determine whether somebody is a double agent or a mole. We dont know enough about any of this to come to a conclusion. The real issue is what exactly this lawyer, the lady who came to talk about had in mind. This is a serious issue for the russians. Forget the 2016 elections. This an issue they have been concerned about ever since it was adopted. They retaliated in various forms. And it would not surprise me just like many lawyers with clients try to approach president ial campaigns, that they would try to approach the Trump Campaign. Eric in that email to donald jrp 0 to gold sphoan, she says she is a government lawyer. Here is what a harvard professor is saying about this this morning. This was in the washington post. From what we know about the meeting is in line with what intelligence analysts would expect an overture of a russian influence operation to look like. It bears the hallmarks of a russian intelligence soft pitch leaving room for plausible deniability in case it is rejected. You hit on the issue that goes beyond the magnitsky act. John they worry its a precedent for other sanctions that could be imposed against them. It accompanied the repeal of the janzen amendment. So they didnt get relief they wanted. Look at this particular approach, if the quote you just read were accurate and they were looking for a response to see if people were open to a soft pitch, you have Jared Kushner leaving the meeting after 7 minutes. Paul manafort work away on his blackberry. The meeting ending inconclusively. If it were an fsb operation be it obviously failed. As a Government Official and private citizen, over the years i talked to cia, fbi counterintelligence people on any number of occasions when they asked me about people who contacted me. It comes in all different shapes and sizes. The meeting shouldnt have taken place. When they got the email it should have been sent to the campaign counsel. I think that would have stopped it right there. But for gods sake. At some point you have to ask what precisely is it they have done so far that we know of that they have done wrong . Have they mishandled the Communications Strategy dealing with it . Sure. But what is the underlying wrong they committed here . There is no answer to that. Thats why you see Democratic Senators and others saying we have to get these people up here to testify under oath. Eric from your experience, how do you know what we are dealing with . John i dont. People talk to me all the time. I guess im in trouble right now. I talk to all kinds of foreigners. I was just in berlin over the weekend and perhaps some of them were intelligence agents. I wish they would wear it on their foreheads because its hard to tell. Eric im a fox news anchor journalist. Thats all. Arthel a terrifying balancing act caught on camera.

They are desperately stacking sandbags and they have a long fight ahead because the waters are not expected to peak until tuesday. A heartstopping image of a carper muched on the edge of a bridge. Thankfully nobody was hurt. The car was recovered before it was fall off that overpass. Congressman jim heinz introduced the Free Press Act to rear oncamera briefings at the white house. He says the Trump Administration has held fewer briefings than the previous three administrations. Arthel the Trump Administration is asking the Supreme Court to step in to impose it travel ban. Its fighting a ruling that could allow thousands who come in from largely muslim countries. The department of justice filed the petition asking the Supreme Court to step in and black the ruling of a hawaii judge and clarify the decision made by the Supreme Court last month.

And the department of justice says the court overstepped and they want the Supreme Court to settle it.
