Mohyeldin and louis burgdorf. President trump is on a collision course with his own party over the Massive Health care overhaul. The bill comes up today and is set for a vote tomorrow, but for the moment, many members of the party say he simply doesnt have the numbers he needs to pass it. Last night at a Party Fundraiser the president renewed his pitch. That legislative effort begins with thursdays crucial vote and it really is a crucial vote for the Republican Party and for the people of our country. Youll finally repeal and replace the disaster known as obamacare. Thats what it is, a disaster. And nbc news head count shows 27 republican no votes right now. And senator rand paul suggests the number is actually at 35. In the last few days the bill has been sweetened to pull in more conservative senators and centrist senators. But when that didnt work, the president said, pass it or lose seats. In the meeting that lasted 30 minutes, the president called out the chair of the House Freedom caucus. I ask for your support, you can blame me if you want, mark, did you hear that . Oh, mark, im gonna come after you. I hope mark will be with us in the end. When you talked this morning in the closed door meeting about people paying a price, losing seats, getting a majority, is that a threat from the president on this bill . Its a political reality. If you go out and promise your voters something on a scale like this, this is something as a party we have made clear, if you give us this, the american people, we will get this done. To go and make a promise and pledge of this magnitude and not follow it through, im sure voters would be upset. Are you worried, mr. Meadows, that youll lose your seat like the president said . I serve for the people in Western North carolina. And when you serve in your pleasure, it is only those 750,000 people that can send you home. Its a temporary job and i have known that from day one. Joining us from capitol hill, jonathan swan, good morning to you. We all remember paul ryan who had his sleeves rolled up and was saying to everybody in the republican caucus, it is now or never. This is our best chance to get this passed. Do we see a vote on thursday . And if we dont, how do republicans get themselves to yes . They are in a diabolical situation. Because the fact is they dont have the votes. Doesnt matter who you talk to, talking to mark meadows fairly regularly the last 24 hours, and folks in the leadership and folks on the white house, they dont have the votes. They are probably in the vicinity of 25 hard nos. 25 or 26. So if they dont have the votes and dont have anything to offer, which they dont, if they offer something substantial to the conservatives they lose the moderates. Its a terrible situation. All they have is the president ial bully pulpit and hope that gets them off the line. Take a listen to this moment yesterday from congressman paul ryan talking about the work the president has done so far. Ill get your reaction on the back end. President trump was here to do what he does best, and that is to close the deal. He is all in and we are all in to end this obamacare nightmare. I think what this comes down to is what is said on those banners last night at his rally in kentucky. Promises made, promises kept. The president just came here and knocked the ball out of the park. He knocked the cover off the ball and explained to our members how it is important to unify, how it is important to Work Together. And i think our members are beginning to appreciate what kind of a rendezvous that we have here. So congressman ryan is not mincing his words. What is the risk for the republicans and paul ryans relationship with the president if this doesnt make it through . Well, paul ryan has a situation where he wants to be able to bully, frankly, its the only word for it, his members, but the dynamic has changed. If this was 15, 20 years ago, you know, if you had tom delay there, a different dynamic where leadership could dictate, thats one thing. But now youve got a House Freedom caucus which really feels no obligation whatsoever to paul ryan. In fact, in some ways, sees him as an adversary. So hes really relying on trump. Thats what you see there, hes elevating trump and knows that donald trump is very popular in a lot of the House Freedom caucus members districts. So hes trying to ratchet up the pressure in that way because he knows that he, himself, paul ryan, has no power over the members. Jonathan swan, great to have you with us. Definitely dont miss the conversation on morning joe. We have senator rand paul and congressman jim jordan who as of now are both Firm Republican nos on the vote. They are joining them live on morning joe. Amid the concern the house wont have enough votes to repeal and replace obamacare, the dow fell 20 points and the s p dropped 1 . This is the First Time Since the election markets reacted negatively over doubts of the president s policies becoming law. Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about the decline on wall street yesterday and cautioned against looking at a singleday market performance. Does the president believe that todays dip in the dow is the result of his performance as president of the United States . Well, i think to look at any one day is nothing that we have we have always cautioned. Overall, it continues to be up tremendously. You cant look at one indices and say that is the benchmark of one economy. Experts say it is important to watch how stocks trade on thursday. Well, confirmation hearings begin today for the nominee for the Supreme Court neil gorsuch. He faced intense questioning yesterday and is gearing up for another round of grilling. Justice correspondent Pete Williams has the very latest. Good morning, pete. Reporter alex, the second and final day of questions for neil gorsuch. Tuesdays session went into the night with the nominee vowing to be independent of the president who chose him to succeed Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. Judge neil gorsuch says he never promised President Trump or anyone else involved in selecting him that he would vote a certain way on the hotbutton issue of abortion, even though donald trump made overturning the roe v. Wade abortion ruling a point in his campaign. I am prolife and will be appointing prolife judges. Reporter gorsuch met mr. Trump when interviewed for that judge. In that interview, did he ask you to overview roe v. Wade. No, sir. What would you do if he asked that . Senator, i would have walked out the door. Reporter and he did not say what he would do if the executive action on immigration reaches court. The Republican Congressman recently said the best thing the president can do for his muslim ban is to make sure he has gorsuch on the Supreme Court. Senator, a lot of people say a lot of silly things. He has no idea how i would rule. Reporter though the questions were pointed, even the democrats found it hard to dislike neil gorsuch personally who remained unruffled and confident. Nevertheless, senator al franken asked about a recent statement by the white house chief of staff. Neil gorsuch represents a conservative, represents the type of judge that has the vision of donald trump. What do you think that mr. Priebus was talking about . Respectfully, mr. Priebus doesnt speak for me and i dont speak for him. I am a judge, i am my own man. Reporter gorsuch was also asked to comment on President Trumps criticism of federal judges. He said he finds it disheartening and demoralizing when anyone attacks the honesty and integrity of judges. Including the president , he said, and anyone is anyone. Thank you so much for that. President trump spoke at a washington fundraiser for the Republican Congressional Committee raising a 30 million for the gops efforts in 2018, thats more than 20 million the same dinner raised last year. In his remarks, President Trump invoked the legacies of Abraham Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower for launch crosscountry infrastructure projects. Our first republican president , Abraham Lincoln, ran his First Campaign for Public Office in 1832. When he was only 23 years old. He began by imagining the benefits that a railroad could bring to his port of illinois without ever having seen a Steam Powered train. He had no idea. And yet he knew what good it could be. 30 years later as president , lincoln signed the law that built the First Transcontinental Railroad uniting our country from ocean to ocean. Great president. Most people dont even know he was a republican, right . Does anyone know . A lot of people dont know that. We have to build that up a little bit more. Lets taken a ad and use one of those pacts. Now is the time for a new Republican Administration working with our Republican Congress to pass the next great infrastructure bill. Well, north korea attempted to launch a missile this morning. However, it failed almost immediately and exploded just seconds after the launch. This according to the u. S. And south korean officials. It is unclear this time what type of missile was fired that happened at the air base near the sea of japan. This comes one day after the north warned of a possible preemptive strike following the test of the rocket engine. Janice mackey farris is joining us from beijing, what else are we learning from this . Reporter good morning. This is the latest provocation by north korea and seems to run in line with a series of protests by the regime, given the u. S. Joint military drills currently underway in the area with south korea. There was also a propaganda video surfacing yesterday that showed the uss carl vincent, the american Aircraft Carrier in the drills engulfed with flames with threatening messages super imposed on it. That seemed to be a response to the warning from the u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson during his asia visit last week that all options are on the table. And that could include a preemptive military strike against north korea. Kim jongun has threatened that he will soon test a missile capable of reaching the United States. So this also suggests theres been improvements, incremental, but incremental advances in the Technological Capabilities of north korea despite the sanctions. So it is unclear what steps the u. S. Could take, to include more sanctions or ramp up pressure on beijing to use the influence with the north. This is making for a nearly daytoday watch. Janice Mackey Frayer from beijing, thank you.
