Taller than officer Matias Ferreira. I got chills to hear the pipe bands and the feeling just going through your body. This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley the repeal of obamacare has failed. Done in by a fractured republican party. Facing certain defeat, the speaker of the house pulled the bill that would have begun to replace president obamas Affordable Care act of 2010. There were more than enough republicans to pass the measure, but the president , who said that he could negotiate better than any politician, was not able to muster enough of them. Last night mr. Trump miscalculated, issuing a c. E. O. s ultimate um. He told republicans if they didnt pass his bill today, they could forget the whole thing, hed leave obamacare in place. It is, at least for now. Chip reid begins our coverage. Ive been saying for the last year and a half that the best thing we can do politically speaking is let obamacare explode. Reporter the president tried to put a positive spin on the failure to pass the republican partys top legislative priority, and he showed no bitterness to those who shared the blame. I want to thank the republican party. I want to thank paul ryan. Reporter but for speaker paul ryan, who has spent seven years railing against obamacare, it was devastating. I will not sugar coat this, this is a disappointing day for us. Reporter he says he hopes to try again, but he has no idea when that will be. Obamacare will remain the law of the land until its replaced. Well be living with obamacare for the foreseeable future. Reporter that conclusion followed hours of impassioned debate. Providers are fleeing, prices are skyrocketing. This may be our last off ramp on the road to ruin. Reporter and democratic opponents. Im going to fight every single attempt to turn a deaf ear, a blind eye and a Cold Shoulder to the sick. Reporter but the real action was going on behind closed doors where ryan and his deputies were trying to convince dozens of fellow republicans to vote yes. Many conservatives opposed the bill because it doesnt go far enough to repeal obamacare, but some moderate republicans say it went too far and could leave 24 million Americans Without Health Insurance over the next decade. Did you have the votes . Reporter Vice President pence went to capitol hill for one last try with his former colleagues in conservative freem caucus, but to no avail. My vote is still a no. Reporter this afternoon ryan went to the white house to tell the president the bad news, that they did not have the votes. I told him the best thing i think to do is to pull this bill and he agreed with that decision. Reporter last month former republican Speaker John Boehner said this in the 25 years that i served in the United States congress, republicans never ever one time agreed on what a Health Care Proposal should look like, not once. Scott, it appears that record is still standing. Pelley chip reid at the capitol. The president , who fancies himself a master of the art of the deal, is still an apprentice in the science of politics, but he didnt blame himself for the defeat today, he blamed the democrats. Margaret brennan is at the white house. We were very close. It was a very, very tight margin. Reporter President Trump won the white house by touting his dealmaking credentials, but on health care he could not outmaneuver members of his own party. We all learned a lot. We learned a lot about loyalty. We learned a lot about the votegetting process. Reporter the president pelted democrats and predicted theyll pay the political price for obamacares increasing costs. I think the losers are nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer because now they own obamacare. They own it. Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why i alone can fix it. Reporter Health Care Spending makes up around 18 of the u. S. Economy. During the campaign, mr. Trump said his business experience would translate into immediate reform. My first day in office im going to ask congress to put a bill on my desk getting rid of this disastrous law. Reporter that was two weeks before the election. Today. I never said repeal it and replace it within 64 days. Report in an interview on face the nation last year, mr. Trump explained his strategy. Its supposed to be you get along with congress and you cajole and you go back and forth and everybody gets in a room and we end up with deals. Reporter but the president has since acknowledged that brokering this overhaul was tougher than expected. Its an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated. Reporter the take it or leave it negotiating style that mr. Trump described in his book, the art of the deal, scott, it didnt work today in washington. Pelley Margaret Brennan at the white house. Well turn now to john dickerson, our cbs news political director and the an consider of face the nation. John, is there a way forward for health care . Well, to go back to the health care, the president can do it the way he just tried, which is only with republican votes. Or he can try for actual Bipartisan Legislation with democrats. But that means taking on some of their ideas, and if he takes on democratic ideas in earnest, then hes going to lose votes from his own party. That may be why today he said hes going to move on to reforming taxes, but thats going to be hard sell, too. The president has learned its easier to sell himself in a campaign where people only need to make one choice or another. With legislation there are lots of complicated tradeoffs. Pelley the courts have knocked down the president S Immigration ban and the president cant seem to get out of his own way because of his penchant for falsehoods. How does this white house get back on track . Kris reporter voters aret concerned about jobs and the economy and immigration. You can imagine him returning to turn to symbolic events to remind voters what they like about him. Although this week judge neil gorsuch did make it through his confirmation hearing in strong shape, which is something conservatives care a great deal about. Going forward, the thing to look for right away is what this relationship with paul ryan like . There has been some fingerpointing about this bill and whose fault it is. If that continues, thats bad news, because if that relationship is spoiled, they wont be able to do anything bibig and complicated unless they can work together. Pelley john dickerson, well be watching you on sunday on face the nation. Johns guests will include republican trey gowdy and ranking democrat adam schiff of the House Intelligence Committee and the former secretary of state george shultz. On another matter, the leaders of the House Intelligence Committee appear to be at war. Today the top democrat accused the republican chairman of trying to divert attention from the president s unproven claim that he was wiretapped by his predecessor. Heres jeff pegues. The president made a slanderous accusation against his predecessor, one with absolutely no basis. Reporter today Intelligence Committee ranking democrat adam schiff accused republican chairman devin nunes of trying to muddy the waters. That effort to defend the indefensible has led us down this terrible rabbit hole and threatens the integrity of the only investigation thats authorized in the house. Reporter nunes announced two developments into that investigation into russian meddling and allegations of Trump Campaign collusion in the 2016 election that former Trump Campaign chairman paul manafort, whose relationship to Russian OligarchOleg Deripaska has come under scrutiny has volunteered to testify. And the committee will hear from f. B. I. Director james comey and n. S. A. Director michael rocking centers a closed session next week instead of public testimony from former Obama Administration officials. In a tweet, schiff accused nunes of wanting to choke off information from the public. On wednesday nunes rushed to the white house to tell the president about what he said was legal Foreign Surveillance that involved members of the trump transition team. I have seen intelligence reports that clearly show that the president elect and his team were i guess at least monitored and disseminated out in intelligence. Reporter but when asked about the surveillance today, he was less certain about what he had seen. We wont know that until we actually receive all of the documentation. Its hard to know where the information came from until you get the report and have time to go through them and see all the sourcing of the documents. Reporter meanwhile, scott, nunes also repeated something he said last week, that there is no evidence president Obama Wiretapped trump tower. Pelley jeff pegues in our washington newsroom, thanks. Fake news articles, outrageous and salacious, bedeviled both president ial campaigns. Now in an investigation for 60 minutes, we had looked into how nonsense on one web site breaks out to become a trending article on facebook or twitter. We discovered that some fake news publishers use fraudulent Computer Software called bots to make the articles appear to be wildly popular. Bots are fake social media accounts. Jim vidmar knows all about bots. Hes a consultant who helps products or people get noticed on the internet. So we were talking about these bots, these are twitter accounts masquerading as real people. Thats right. Pelley by the thousands . Millions. Pelley we did an experiment with vidmars help. We bought 5,000 bots from a russian web site. They cost us just a few hundred bucks. Im going to tweet from my account what happens when 60 minutes investigates fake news. So tweet that out. And there it is. Pelley normally i would expect real people to retweet my message a few dozen times. Vidmar programmed our bots to retreat my message, and then he turned them loose. Hit it with everything you got. I hit it with everything i got. You got 38,000 retweets. Pelley wait 3,400. 4. 4,000. Pelley and that matter because facebook and twitter base their ranking of trending subjects on their popularity. The retweet of a bot looks just like the retweet of a person. On sunday on 60 minutes, well show you how fake news publishers turn fake boosts from bots into real money. President trump did reverse one of his spread s. E. C. Ors predecessors conditions today.

By the time masood acted this week, he was married with children and highly unusually was 52 years old. Most terrorists are younger men. Reporter Richard Walton is the former London Police head of counterterrorism. 52yearold male, that is quite exceptional and obviously there will be concern about how he was radicalized. Reporter another puzzling fact, masood spent the night before the attack in a seaside hotel. The manager. He was very friendly, laughing and joking, telling us stories about where he lives. Reporter masood had been living in birmingham, a city with a large muslim population, and over the last 20 years, home to 39 people convicted of terrorismrelated crimes.
