Oh, here we go and Close Encounter. The superstar paddling above two great whites. Theyre so powerful, you definitely dont want to fall in. Rob lowes onceinalifetime adventure captured by tmz with his son by his side. We do say good morning, america. Normally when you see a great white you go in the other direction. He seems pretty calm about it. Not rob lowe. A very busy tuesday morning. Major news coming out of washington. What looks like the death blow to the gop effort to repeal and replace obamacare came late last night when two conservative senators announced their opposition. It simply cant pass now. President trump responded with a tweet, calling on republicans to simply repeal obamacare now and deal with replacing it later. He says democrats will join in but there is zero chance of that but the gop leader senator mcconnell says he will call the repeal vote anyway. That is also all but certain to fall short. As you can imagine, reaction pouring in from both parties. Lets get right to our Congressional Correspondent, mary bruce, on capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. This is a stinging setback for republicans. The president and their signature promise to the american people. Overnight, leader Mitch Mcconnell conceded defeat saying its clear their effort to repeal and immediately replace obamacare will not be successful. [ chanting ] overnight, a devastating blow to republicans signature promise to overhaul obamacare. Two key republicans defecting announcing they cannot support the current bill. In a statement, kansas senator jerry moran says we should not put our stamp of approval on a bad policy. And senator mike lee of utah he says the current bill doesnt go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families. Or roll back enough of the most costly obamacare regulations. Republicans could only afford to lose two votes in order to get the bill through. Theyve now lost four. For weeks Republican Leaders tried to bridge the divide within their own party. Look, we need to tackle this problem. Reporter but not even pressure from the president could push it over the finish line. We must repeal jobkilling obamacare. We have to do that. Were getting it together and its going to happen. Reporter so what comes next . The president says republicans should just repeal failing obamacare now and work on a new Health Care Plan that will start from a clean slate, and Mitch Mcconnell seems to agree, calling overnight for a vote on a straight repeal of obamacare with a twoyear delay to provide for a stable transition. And this morning, democrats seem to be relishing this moment. Leader Chuck Schumer saying this is proof that the core of the republican bill is simply unworkable. Robin. So can this plan work to repeal now, replace later . Can it get the votes . Reporter robin, this is going to be an uphill battle. Republicans have done this before and passed a bill in 2015 but its unclear if they can do this again. Mitch mcconnell seems determined to get republicans on the record on this, but he still needs to get those 50 votes and republicans are likely to have serious concerns about the possibility of leaving americans in limbo and what a straight repeal could mean for the market. Robin. That is concern about the limbo part. Mary, thank you. Lets talk to our chief White House Correspondent jon karl for more on this. And, jon, President Trump simply blindsided by this and it is such a huge blow, along with building that border wall, this was his signature promise in the campaign. Reporter this was his biggest legislative goal this year, george. And those two senators, republican senators effectively killed it without first calling the white house letting them know they were going to do it. Now theyre on to this plan b which mary is exactly right, this is going to be a very tough lift but, george, consider this, when the senate voted on this last, 2015 just a little over 18 months ago, it passed and it passed with 49 senators who are currently in the senate, plus 1 that voted for a similar bill in the house, so theoretically there are 50 republicans on the record supporting this plan b which is simply to repeal it. We both know that back in 2015 that was a free vote because president obama was going to veto it. Right now they face the prospect, if they vote for repeal only, according to the congressional budget office, that would mean 32 Million People would lose insurance, even more than the plan thats on the table now. Reporter absolutely, george, and it means a completely eliminating subsidies that are helping people buy insurance. It means rolling back all of the medicaid expansion, so its much more extreme than what theyve been voting on so far. But what they are doing, what this bill will be will be to repeal it over three years, so the actual repeal would not happen for three years, what youll hear republicans say is that theyll have time to come up with an alternative to pass in the interim so when this all goes away there will be something to replace it with. Of course, no guarantee on what that would be. Right, and its very hard to see where they get the votes for this. Is there any talk now of actually reaching across the aisle, working with putting this aside and working with democrats on a plan to fix obamacare . Reporter well, that is exactly what Mitch Mcconnell, the republican leader, said would happen if this did not pass, but it appears they are going in the opposite direction. They will first do this. If this crashes and burns and it will be a very hard bill to pass. Then i imagine you will see them reaching out to democrats but thats not happening yet. Not at all. Jon karl, thanks very much. Thank you, george. Now to those new details about that Deadly Police shooting in minneapolis. A bridetobe killed after calling 911 for help. Were now learning more about the Police Officer as her heartbroken family demands answers. Well hear from the mayor of minneapolis in a moment, but first, abcs linsey davis is on the scene there for us with new reporting. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, robin. You can see the alley where she was killed right behind me. Answers are trickling in very slowly. While we still dont know what led up to the death of Justine Damond, we now know what caused it. The medical examiner is ruling her death a homicide from a gunshot to the abdomen. Our hearts are broken and we are utterly devastated by the loss of justine. Reporter the fiance of meditation and Yoga InstructorJustine Damond is pleading with Minneapolis Police asking them to explain why an officer shot and killed his future bride. Sadly her family and i have been provided with almost no Additional Information from Law Enforcement. Reporter the 40yearold originally from australia is seen in this video from 2015 talking about her spiritual journey. Welcome. Im originally from sydney, australia, and we have a beautiful tradition there. Reporter she was getting married next month. But that all changed saturday night at 11 28 when she called police to report a possible assault in the alley behind her home. Female screaming behind the building. Reporter just four minutes later officers on the scene reported theyd opened fire. 530, im starting cpr. Copy, 530. Doing cpr. Reporter theres no dash cam of the incident and both officers body cameras were turned off. Like you, i have a lot of questions about why the body cameras werent turned on. Reporter the Minneapolis Star Tribune says damond in pajamas approached the Police Parked at the end of this alley 100 feet behind her house and say she was standing at the drivers side of the vehicle when the officer in the passenger seat reportedly reached across the vehicle and opened fire shooting her through the drivers side door. That officer, identified as mohamed noor, a twoyear veteran of the force. Noor, a somaliamerican joined the Minneapolis Police force two years ago and has had three complaints filed against him, two still open. The 31yearold has been sued after a may incident where a woman complained he grabbed her too roughly. Sources close to the investigation tell abc news minneapolis affiliate kstp damond was shot two to three times. Investigators say no weapons were found at the scene, other than the officers gun. Noor and his partner are both now on administrative leave and noors attorney released a statement saying that damonds family is in his daily thoughts and prayers and added noor joined the police force to serve the community. Robin. All right, linsey, thank you very much. Now the mayor of minneapolis, betsy hodges joins us. We appreciate you spending some time with us because dont have to tell you the grief, the outrage. This happened on saturday, still no explanation as to how or why this happened. Are you satisfied with how police and investigators are handling this thus far . Well, first, i have to agree with you, this is just a devastating thing for our community, for the country, for the world really. Its just tragic and awful and disturbing. And we as a city have a policy now that we do not investigate ourselves. And so, in Critical Incidents like this, so the state bureau of criminal apprehension took over right away. They have been the lead investigator. I encourage them to give as much information as swiftly as possible, but not compromising the investigation. But i have the same questions everybody has, what happened . But youre the mayor, and the family of justine, arent they deserving of some explanation at this point, something . Yes. I mean, ive spoken to her fiance. You know, he has the same questions everyone has. But we need to make sure that theres an investigation so we can answer those questions thoroughly and whatever happens, but i dont know what the answers are, thats the tradeoff of an independent investigation as we arent in charge of it. But, you know, i know the bca is doing the best they can and moving as swiftly as they can or i hope so and i hope that they release as much information as they can as swiftly as they can. And one of the many questions, of course as you know, the body cameras. Now, Minneapolis Police are required to have them. Neither officer had turned his on. Im sure thats one of the many questions that you have like the rest of us. Why . Yes, absolutely. You know, i fought hard to make sure that we have body cameras. Theyre very powerful tool. Theyre not an infallible tool but theyre an important tool in 21st Century Policing, and i dont know why it wasnt turned on. I dont know what happened. Thats one of the key questions that we have as this, you know, as the investigation moves forward. Do you know if it was ever turned on . We know that it wasnt turned on before but even after there is procedure saying that you should turn it on. Do you have any idea if at any time it was turned on . I dont know at this point. The body camera data and footage is with the investigator and thats independent from the city so i dont know. Finally, mayor hodges, where do we go from here . You are fully aware of the frustration, and how do you maintain trust from citizens when Something Like this happens . Its been a question this whole country has been trying to answer and in minneapolis, you know, i and the chief have been working very hard to put the foundations in place for 21st Century Policing. You know, body cameras are one element of that. We have made policy changes. Weve enhanced our training. Were doing Community Policing and putting the resources in for that. Partnerships in collaboration between the community and Law Enforcement creates both trust and public safety. All of those plus more are elements of 21st Century Policing and we have got to keep pursuing that and we are continuing to pursue that. Moving forward. Well, again, mayor hodges, thank you for your time and hopefully some of these questions will be answered soon. Primarily for justines family and were thinking of them and your community. Thank you, mayor, very much. Thank you very much. And those answers cannot come soon enough. Nothing about this makes any sense. It doesnt.
