Why Justin Bieber canceled the rest of his tour. Today, tuesday, july 25th, 2017. From nbc news, this is today, with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today. Its a tuesday morning. So glad to have you with us. We have carson in for matt once again. Good morning, everybody.

Plus that speech to the National Boy Scout jamboree. Our team is standing by, lets start with chief White House Correspondent hallie jackson. Hallie, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning to you. What a dramatic morning this is turning out to be. With john mccain making that surprise return to washington, just days after getting diagnosed with brain cancer. Republican leadership, knowing every vote is critical on health care, had hoped he would make it back in time for todays procedural vote that kicks off debate in the first place on a bill. This is something the senator seemed supportive of last week. If the gop clears this hurdle, there are plenty more ahead, with questions on what the senate bill will even look like in what is shaping up to be another health care cliffhanger. One of the senates fiercest fighters, back for battle. John mccain returning to capitol hill, to help republicans clear a Critical Health care hurdle. The senator, recently diagnosed with brian cancer. Until now, recuperating at home, in arizona, taking a hike. In washington, a different uphill climb. For him and the rest of the gop, on health care. With president clinton pushing hard to get something done soon. Demanding senators repeal an replace obamacare, the president pressuring his own party. Skeptical lawmakers and his health secretary, tom price. Going to get the votes . He better get them. He better get them. Otherwise, ill say, tom, youre fired. Reporter that stern message directed at lawmakers but delivered at a boy scout jamboree. Who the hell wants to speak about politics in front of the boy scouts . Reporter at times, seemed more aimed at adults. I go to washington and i see the politicians. I see the swamp. Its not a good place. Today, i said we ought to change it from the word swamp to cesspool. The fake media will say, President Trump spoke President Trump spoke before a small crowd of boy scouts today. Fake media. Fake news. Reporter the president going after his predecessor. By the way, just a question did president obama ever come to a jamboree . Reporter the backlash, building fast. Politics do not belong in the jamboree. Citizenship does. The scouts releasing a statement saying in part, the boy scouts of america is wholly nonpartisan and does not promote one position, service, political candidate or philosophy. The invitation for a sitting u. S. President to visit the National Jamboree is a longstanding tradition and is not an endorsement of any Political Party or specific policies. Back on the hill, it is all about health care with the president this morning calling john mccain an American Hero and brave for returning for the votes this week. We may hear more from the president about the public push on health care today when he holds a joint News Conference in the rose garden with the lebanese prime minister. No shortage of questions for him in a busy day here in d. C. It sounds like mccain is a yes vote on health care. Do republicans have a vote this time . Reporter if i had a crystal ball, i would be able to answer that for you. But i dont know if Republican Leadership knows for sure they will be able to get this thing across the finish line. And the vote today is the first procedural step to start debate in the first place. Thats what leaders think thats what john mccain will support. But its not clear if he will support what is down the road. Repeal now and delay a replacement . Or something else. Thats why today will be critical. Watch for the gop leaders to go after familiar names. Moderate republicans, like susan collins, for example, or rob portman. A lot of suspension. Something else to watch on capitol hill, another appearance by President Trumps soninlaw and Senior Adviser, Jared Kushner. He will face more questions about his contacts with russia during the campaign after testifying on monday there was no collusion. Peter alexander has more on that. Peter, good morning. Reporter carson, good morning. One of President Trumps top aides insisted that attorney general Jeff Sessions has the president s confidence. But it certainly doesnt look that way. More and more, it looks like the president s in the market for a new attorney general. The president with a blistering critique of sessions for his very weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes. Under withering new pressure this morning, Jeff Sessions who infuriated the president by recusing himself from the russia investigation, back in the west wing, meeting with aides about his future. The president on twitter taking the unusual step of branding his own a. G. As beleaguered. Later rolling his eyes when asked if sessions should resign . Mr. President , should Jeff Sessions resign .

President trump monday night at the boy scouts National Jamboree. A scout is trustworthy, loyal we could use some more loyalty. I will tell you that. Reporter hours earlier, one of the president s most loyal aides, soninlaw, Jared Kushner, with a rare public statement. Trying to put the russia revelations to rest. Let me be very clear. I did not collude with russia, nor do i know of anyone else in the campaign who did so. Reporter the president s Senior Adviser fresh off a twohour closed door interview with senate investigators. Did you answer the questions, sir . As many as they had. Reporter kushner acknowledging four separate meetings with russia officials. Saying they werent improper. Talking about the election and defending the president. Donald trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign. And that is why he won. Suggesting otherwise, ridicules those who voted for him. Reporter the president watching on tv, praising kushner, a message echoed by top aides. Showed the members of that committee what a witch hunt and hoax this thing is. Reporter still, on capitol hill for democrats, on collusion, its hardly case closed. I dont think we can accept that at face value. We need to take it with a grain of salt. Reporter and Congress Closing in on a new bill, the white house is reserving judgment, insisting on the best deal for the american people. Ahead of Jared Kushners interview this morning with the house intelligence committee, the president touting his soninlaws performance. He tweeted, Jared Kushner did very well yesterday, proving he did not collude with the russians. Witchhunt. Adding, next up, is 1yearold barron trump. As for sessions status, from both parties theres speculation that getting rid of Jeff Sessions, the attorney general, could be the president s First Step Towards firing the special counsel. Overnight senator ted cruzs name was floated as an a. G. Option. This morning a source close to the senator tells nbc news theres, nothing true about it. Carson . Savannah .

You once staffed a cabinet member. Can you put in perspective how unusual this is. And what do you think the motivation is . Its astounding. The president of the United States is online bullying the attorney general. Hes trying to twittershame him into quitting his post. Lets make no mistake. What the president is trying to do is trying to say, sessions get out of the way so i can put in my own attorney general, who will fire bob mueller and shut down this russia investigation. Put you on the spot, if you were advising Jeff Sessions, what would you tell him to do . Should he quit . Dont quit. I think he should make the president man up and fire him. If the attorney general wants to stand his ground, he should be entitled to do so. Jeremy, carson daly here, good morning. Jared kushner, another busy day in front of the house intelligence committee. Youre a member of that staff once. After you read that 11page statement yesterday, you saw jareds comments in front of the white house. Whats left to ask Jared Kushner today . I think the Kushner Legal Team acquitted himself pretty well. He had the impressive backdrop of the white house. Polished 11page statement. His defense, though, was notwithstanding all the professional look and feel of the testimony. I was a rookie. I was a novice. I was overwhelmed. There are more questions to ask him, for example, about his role in the comey firing. About his role in the warning from the Justice Department that the russians could blackmail the National Security adviser. Theres plenty for investigators to look at going forward. Jeremy bash, thank you so much. Weve got a lot more to go to this morning. Thanks, guys. More to get to this morning, including newly released video that shows the shooting of three u. S.
