Health care bill. What did the president know about it before hand . And later, my sit down with Tracy Ellis Ross of the comedy, blackish and a wildly entertaining lunch date. 44 years after your mother won a golden globe. I didnt know that. Social media, i saw it on the gram. I saw it on the gram. Someone put it on the gram. Our sunday sit down with Tracy Ellis Ross later on. But lets begin with the deadly shooting in cincinnati. Richard chiles is on the scene for us this morning. Good morning. Bring us up to speed. Reporter well, willie, good morning. The investigation is now under way as shots were fired outside of a club Cameo Nightclub just after 1 00 this morning. Witnesses say there was a call for security, then ten minutes later shots rang out, striking 16, leaving one person dead. Now, four Cincinnati Police officers were outside at the time of the shooting working an off duty detail. Those officers rushed inside the nightclub, able to give cpr but unable to save a life. Witnesses say they have this is the most chaotic scene. Shots were fired, individuals ran outside so theres not a lot of people inside the club. Saturday night, it is a very young crowd. We have had incidents here in the past. But this is the worst by far. Reporter through security cameras were working inside of the nighture at the time of the shooting. That camera footage will be critical as officers continue their investigation trying to narrow in on the person or persons involved in the shooting. We well willie . Thank you, richard. Lets turn to politics where President Trump is moving on to tax reform after the Republican Health care bill went down in flames. While the president was generous publicly to House Speaker paul ryan after the loss, its clear trump wants the country to know the failure isnt on him. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is live at the white house with more on a president ial tweet that has washington talking this morning. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. Typically, the president needs no help if he wants to criticize another leader or a fellow republican. Hes not shy about that. And it is also the case that when he talks on twitter about a tv show hes often on it. I asked the press secretary why he was tweeting about a particular show. He said he likes the show. And what followed makes that all the more interesting. Just another tweet from the president. One that could have been easily overlooked. real donald trump told his 27 million followers, watch judge jeanine at 9 00 p. M. A friendly promotion or did the president know Jeanine Pirro would drop this bomb. Paul ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house. Reporter the host dished out the blame for fridays bungled Obamacare Repeal on ryan. He failed to deliver the votes on his health care bill. Reporter judge pirro said the president did not know in advance that she would criticize ryan. Me and i had no conversation, no discussion, no email, nothing. Reporter friday mr. Trump clearly said hes confident in the speakers leadership. I like speaker ryan, he worked very, very hard. Reporter president and speaker were partners selling the bill. But it led to the startling defeat so early in a presidency. When ryan stood before cameras i told him that the best thing i think to do is to pull this bill and he agreed with that decision. Reporter ryan defended President Trump. The president gave his all in this effort. Reporter yet the tv host President Trump tweeted about and speaker ryan, you come in with all your swagger and experience. Reporter through ryan, often seen as a star among conservatives under the bus. This is not on President Trump. Reporter case closed for judge pirro, but the president cannot pass any part of his agenda without congress. There were things in the bill i didnt particularly like. Reporter the Trump Administration is already replacing the Health Care Repeal with its next goal of tax reform. Mike pence a long time friend of speaker ryan made the administrations new pitch saturday in west virginia. Were going to roll our sleeves up. And were going to cut taxes across the board. Reporter and so far, no reaction from speaker paul ryans office. And interestingly at the time that program aired, President Trump and some of his family were having dinner at a restaurant at his hotel here in d. C. The bust on repeal has brought out a lot of people around the country. There were boisterous town halls and an saturday there were making America Great marches across the country. The president tweeted about that too, he said there was a lot of support and there were a lot of Trump Supporters who came out, but there were instances especially in california where there was scuffles and violence and a handful of arrests. The emotions are high. The divisions are great. And the fallout from all of this this week is something that is still creating a lot of activism among constituents out there who have feelings strongly on both sides of the issue. Willie . What a week in the building behind you. Kelly odonnell at the white house, thank you so much. Chuck todd is of course moderator of meet the press. Chuck, good morning. Good morning, willie. So lets start with the tweet about janine pirros show. Either the white house is issuing Friendly Program notes for saturday night cable news or President Trump is endorsing the view that speaker ryan should step aside. Well, look, its ona not so subtle deflect, who takes the fall for the biggest what one conservative writer called the biggest broken promise in american political history. I think thats the question here is, you know, who owns this defeat . Is it President Trump, is it speaker ryan . Look, they can point fingers all they want. The entire Republican Party is going to own this for seven years. Four election cycles. They have made this promise as essentially the number one promise. And it was always, well, we need the senate, okay, we need the presidency. Well, they have it all. And now theyre walking away after 17 days. Thats the surprising thing to me. I dont know if the base is going to forgive speaker ryan or President Trump for walking away. You had both houses of congress and the white house and this was the dream for seven years to get rid of obamacare and yet on friday they couldnt come up with the votes to do it. What do you think President Trump learned from this . I hesitate to say that he was humbled by it. But did he learn something about being president that its not like being ceo, that not by sheer force of personality can you get a vote . Look, well find out what hes learned if he doesnt learn anything from this, then what was a major setback turns into a debilitating one. But if you take him at his words and sort of read between some of the lines on friday, notice he didnt he went out of his way not to trash anybody publicly though he may have been done it done it through his tv recommendations. He was trying to blame the democrats and i think he said maybe theyll come to the table. It is his way of admitting he cant do anything big in this town if he doesnt find a way to work with democrats and i think if thats the lesson he takes away from this, then it gives him a chance to try to get things done down the road. There was no attempt in this case to bork with democrats. None. The assumption was theyd get all the republicans and theyd get through this health care bill. The next issue they say they want to tackle is tax reform. Is that any easier than health care . Theres a reason it hasnt been done in a generation. No, its not an easier. Especially if they again try to do it just on a party line vote. But again, i think this idea that they can just walk away from health care and just somehow wash their hands of this and just move on, i just think is quhwhistling past the politi graveyard. Look, tax reform is difficult but in may be ways to get democrats on board. But i think republicans are going to feel now emboldened in congress to buck this president if they dont like what hes coming up with. So i think hes going to have if they think they can jam this through on their own, i think they then they havent learned any lessons fr healtabo helicopter care. I want to ask you about a speech joe biden gave i had planned on running for president although it would have been a very difficult primary, i think i could have done. Do i regret not running for president . Yes, i was the most qualified. The death of his son had occupied him and now looking back on its he does say he has some regrets. Hell be 78 years old on Inauguration Day in 2021. Is there any dance the democratic hopes will be answered and hell run for president . I think theres absolutely a chance he will. I think it is now, is that where the partynt wha wants to . It may not be. Is he liberal and progressive enough for where this Party Looks Like its going . I dont know. I think thats a question i have. Obviously his age. But donald trump will be 74 in 2020. I dont think age would be a factor if he is just as healthy. I think for him its ideology. He made the case during that speech that he knows just the kind of men and women that donald trump took from the democratic party. But thats in a general election. He has to get there first. Right. All right, chuck todd, well be watching meet the press. Chuck will talk about the Health Care Defeat and the push now for tax reform with President Trumps budget director. Lets turn to other headlines today. Today the United States military acknowledging a Coalition Air strike did hit a location in the iraqi city of mosul earlier this month.

Neutrogena® indra is here to help me whip through the highs and lows of the week. Our first high goes to being president of the United States. Like sitting in a mack truck and honking the horn. Members of the American Trucking association went to the white house to talk about the benefits of the illfated health care legislation. Out in the white house driveway, trump climbed into the cab of a big rig and turned into every eightyearold boy, excitedly playing with the giant steering wheel, honking the horn and generally just loving trucks. In fact he wore a pin that read i heart trucks in the meeting afterward. By the way, who doesnt love trucks . This became a hot viral sensation. I still, at 41 years old, call for the horn when i go by a big rig. Its just who we are. You still do . I blame it on my sevenyearold son but its just for me.

When youre in that room all day, not all questions will be about originalism and the bill of rights. My son dallon, a teenager, said, ask him whether he would rather fight a hundred ducksized horses or one horsesize duck. My brother scott asked if youve ever worn gym shorts and a tank top under your robe. Senator, on that one we have whats called the fifth amendment. How in the world is gorsuch able to go so many hours at a time without peeing . Youve got to fill a lot of time in to get some questions in like that. Obviously its the horsesized duck. You dont want to fight a hundred, you only want to fight one. Our next low goes to the vicious llama that attacked a young boy named trey last week in the backseat of the his parent parents car. Youll see it wasnt an attack at all, and his parents found it hilarious. Its in the car, trey, underneath it. Turn around. Tai feel bad for poor trey. Theyre putting it on video and laughing about it, but they put it on facebook later and he said he was laughing. I dont think theyre getting a pet llama. Our next high goes to the shakespear
