In the meantime there signs of trouble for Senate Leaders hoping to push the bill through. Three republican senators say they will vote against a motion to proceed without changes. That vote could happen as soon as tomorrow. Gop leaders can only lose two votes and still move the bill forward. Thank you. Joining us now on the phone is our political analyst brian. Will kind of impact do you think this report will have on republican senators, especially those on the fence . Frank, its going to have an impact. All of those senators have to go home and explain tenants of the bill and explain that if the cbo report is correct a lot more americans will possibly go without coverage. They will be careful about the information coming forward at this point. Last year on the campaign trail candidate trump promised to protect medicating keep premiums from rising. The senate bill would cut 800 billion from medicaid and premiums are expected to rise. Do you think that would hurt his support . To the extent that he enjoys the support of the basted says the budget and system is out of whack, i think he is going to be able to hold that in. For the marginal people, people on the fence and in the senate, i think its going to be tough the whole them in if they have to go home and explain the numbers. Of course, it was always questionable whether premiums would go down. It was more about how quickly they would rise. Today the American Medical Association came out against the bill. What do you think is going on behind the scenes . Is there a lot of pressure on these republicans were on the fence to vote in favor wax and do you think, it sounds like this bill is in trouble . Its in trouble. Yes frank there are all kinds of extreme strings being pulled behind the scenes to get the requisite number of votes. Right now they dont have it. The question is, do you bring it forward to have it lose, or do you continue to try to horse trade up to the 11th hour and see if you can pull a couple of additional republican senators over . Its tough at this point. We appreciate your comments. Thank you. On ktvu. Com we posted a link to the full cbo report on the American Health care act. The nations highest court says it will allow president trumps travel ban to go into effect partially. The Supreme Court says exceptions will be made until the justices have a chance to review all sides of the case. We go live to washington dc with the courts decision. This allows the band to take effect in 72 hours. Reporter thats right. This is trumps proposed travel ban which has been in met with pushback from civil Rights Groups that say its unconstitutional and discriminatory. The president is arguing that the ban is necessary to protect the country. The Supreme Court deciding to allow a limited version of trumps ban on travel from six muslim majority countries. Drawing protests around the country. The white house calling the decision of victory for national security. President trump responding with a tweet saying very grateful for the 92 zero decision from the us Supreme Court. We must keep america safe. And off camera briefing sean spicer answered questions about how the department of justice will roll the ban out. Right now were just these with the Supreme Court. Once we have a better idea of its full impact, we will be able to have a better analysis. Reporter the court went on to say the ban does have an important exception. It cannot be enforced against foreign nationals who have eight credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the united states. Still, the bulk of the ban is approved. Huge victory for the white house. No other way of looking at it. I see this opinion, lifting the stay and allowing the ban to go forward, most of those to whom it was to be applied as a blueprint for a decision later this year. Reporter last week the president said it would be about 72 hours before the ban took effect. Once it got approval. The Supreme Court plans to hear the oral arguments on the ban reconvenes in october. Many are wondering what will this mean in the summer when it comes to the ban . Reporter this could meaning headaches for travelers as there is confusion and airports over who is and who is not allowed in the country. The other thing this ban allowing parts of the span to go in effect will do is it gives the Trump Administration a few months to say, they hope, this is working. By the time the Supreme Court gets a chance to take this case and listen to it. The Trump Administration is hoping to have a few months of at least partial ban under its belt and for them to have some positive sort of outcome. 72 hours is fast approaching. Will have to see what happens. Think you so much. The us Supreme Court decision is having repercussions in the bay area as muslim community, any feel they have a target on their back. We have an administration that has explicitly been bigoted toward the muslim community. And people from muslim majority countries. We run counter to our aspired American Values to not target people, to not be racist. At the council on American Islamic relations, officials worry the ban could lead to other restrictions against muslims. Congresswoman amber lee showed her opposition on twitter. She posted todays scotus announcement is deeply troubling but i am confident our true American Values will prevail in court. No muslim ban ever. Joining us now is tom. This is a big victory for president trump. Do you think its enough for trump and republicans who have been supporting this travel ban . This is actually a big victory the constitution. I dont care so much about trump or any other president. This is the way our system was designed. To allow congress to do certain things and the president to do certain things. And 90 decision wipes away the criticism in the manner in which he handled this. Will allow us to be safe . It depends on how they carried out. Quite frankly, they have been working on a system to increase the vetting of the six countries the president obama named as the most likely places from whence a terrorist could come. I think it will be more deliberate now. We should cast aside the target on the back of the president for trying to do things and work in actually making it safe. In your heart of hearts, not as a republican or democrat, just as an american, does this travel ban make you feel safer . It makes me feel safer knowing the president is allowed to function the way it should. It was the Obama Administration the named the six countries. We need to do better about how people are allowed into our country. The sophistication in which terrorists are using, i have my laptop checked at the oakland airport, the sophistication is way ahead of the laws. I think its great that our system prevailed. We need to be and realize how dangerous the rest of the worlds. Look what happened in the United Kingdom over the last three months. It is far more dangerous. And sadly, when these kinds of things happens happen, personal rights get cut back. I hear from so many people in the area say the travel ban is unamerican. Its not what our country is about. Would be your reaction . Did people in the streets because of terrorists is not what our country is about. Since the beginning of time, personal freedoms of suffered when others have committed acts of terrorism. Thats the balance you have to strike. Open borders is not the answer to international security. You have to be safer. I grieve for the parents and lost children like in the manchester disco, that is what i care about as well. You have to make a balance between the two. And just saying we should of open borders doesnt bring back peoples lives wont save lives in the future. But how do you can solve the muslim community, americans who feel like they are targeted. Their brothers and sisters and family members are being targeted. Unfortunately they need to come to the table and work with their own communities to reduce some of this violence. This is why terrorism is so effective. Terrorists know you rightly ask these questions. They prey upon feelings like this and move in the cracks to cause more danger. Thats why its so important to work together, to make these travel bans work in an effective manner. They know we are going to go through this as americans. They dont go through that in syria where they send these people. They prey upon americans feelings. That is why its difficult. We need to remember, over the last 30 years terrorism has skyrocketed around the world. If we dont address it we will have many more discussions like this and it will be much more worse than it is today. We appreciate you coming in. Thank you.
