Its monday september 25. Im ayman mohyeldin. Rejecting the latest attempt to overhaul health care. Targeted professional athletes in a series of comments and tweets of the weekend. Began friday night. Spoke out about the protests by some athletes. Begun more than a year ago kneeling during the National Anthem over what they believe is an unfairle justice system. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that ston of a pitch off the field right now. Out hes fired. Hes fired. Some owner is going to do that. Hes going to say that guy that disrespects our flag, hes fired. And that owner, they dont know it, they dont know. Theyre friends of mine, many of them. They dont know. Theyll be the most popular person for a week. Thats a total disrespect of our heritage. Thats a total disrespect of everything that we stand for. So the president continued complaints on twitter the next morning. Nfl spoke out with a statement from commissioner roger goodell. The nfl and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unit in our country and culture. There is no better example. Divisive comments like those demonstrate lack of respect for nfl, great game and all of our players. And a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities thchlt as the players across the league took to their knees during the National Anthem. Three teams remained in locker rooms. In several cases teams locked arms in a sign of unity. Owners joining players by standing arm in arm. Across the league, team owners spoke out about the president s comments including new england. A major donor and friend to the president. President trump took on the star player hof the nba champions. The president tweeted going to the white house is considered a great honor for a championship team. Steph curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn. Several outlets noted a segment or currys comments before the tweet was sent out. You buck steph curry already said he aint going. So therefore aint no invite. Going to great house was a great honor until you showed up. It was kind of surreal to be honest. Just i dont know. I dont know why he feels the need to target certain individuals rather than others. I have an idea why, but its kind of just kind of beneath a leader of a country to go that route. Not what leaders do. White house surrogates defendeds the president over the weekend. Treasury secretary steve. The nfl has all different types of rules. You cant have stickers on your helmet. Have to have jersey tucked in. What the president is saying the owners should have a rule that players should have to stand and respect for the National Anthem. This isnt about democrats. Its not about republicans. Its not about race. Its not about free speech. They can do free speech on their own time. This is about respect for the military and First Responders and the country. I think its pretty simple. I think the reality is there are coaches, High School Coaches across America Today punished for leading players in prayer. Yet when an nfl player takes a knee, somehow that players is presumed to be a mar tar for social cause. Talk to us about the Senate Finance committee. Theyre set today to hold a hearing on the Graham Cassidy bill. This as a new version of the bill shows editions added to the bill to entice the support of senator from alaska. The bill would loosen Insurance Regulations and while it says Insurance Companies must cover people with preexisting conditions, it would not prohibit them from charging more money. The bill has so far failed to gain the support of senator ted cruz of texas, one of obamacares most vocal opponents and john mccains announcement friday that he would not support the bill was joined by maines susan collins. Its very difficult for me to envision a scenario where i would end up voting for this bill. Joining us now from washington, daniel litman. Daniel, god to have you with us oen this monday morning. Is there a chance you think republican senators Lindsey Graham and bill cassidy can revive Health Care Bill this week with the news that we learned that some key senators are going to vote against it, including republicans. Yes. They leaked the revised version last night to try to win over you know states who have previously expressed opposition, like giving more money to alaska and maine. The concerns about the bill are much more fundamental. You know, all about the process. They dont feel like theyve gone through regular order, which is what mccain has talked about. The momentum is really against the bill. It doesnt seem like the chances for it to win success in week are very good at all. If you talk to aides on capitol hill, their very bearish. They would rather go to tax reform. Where they feel like they can pass it. Feels like slightly different bill. Same tory over and over again. The president is reacting to stories about expensive jet travel. Lets take a listen to that. Maybe using prooiftd charter flights at the taxpayer expense. Who did. Your secretaries. No, i dont think he took the flight. I think if you check your records. He didnt take the flight. He took a flight from new york back to d. C. Check your records before you make a statement. As i understood it. I havent heard much about it. I understood he never took that flight. He flew from new york back to d. C. And price also took youll have to ask him about that. Do you think its appropriate. Do you respect the investigations of these igs. Always. Always. Daniel records checked here. They took the flights. So how are the cabinet seng secretaries reacting. These arent fake flights. All the cabinet secretaries are thinking theyre very glad the other ones did not take private jets on government dime so if youre talking to ryan, hes probably saying his prayers, saying im glad i didnt spend all this money. So tom price who spent over 400,000 of government taxpayer money will probably have to give up some of that money back because flying to aspen colorado from d. C. For the aspen ideas festival on a private jet, that does not count as an emergency. So thats the concern here. I dont think its really a good look. Remember the detroit Auto Executives when they flew to washington on private jets to ask for taxpayer money like ten years ago. Its interesting he says were going to look into tom prices, but he says theres no records of steve. Saying i dont know. By check your records.

Heres the very latest. Reporter good morning. It will iranians made no secret about how displeased they were about Donald Trumps speech at the skpun responded defiantly with a show of force straight from the north korean playbook. State tv over the weekend broadcasting footage of what they say was a successful Ballistic Missile test capable of carrying multiple war heads with a range of 1200 miles. After the test, the president tweeted, iran just test fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching israel. Theyre also working with north korea. Not much of an agreement we have. Ayman, thats agreement. The Iran Nuclear Deal has to be certified by the president in less than three weeks. A deal he thinks should have been scrapped and called an embarrassment to the United States. Making this missile test irans fourth one this year a very risky one that could backfire. Back to you. The point he brought up very interesting how this could potentially undermine the Nuclear Agreement between iran and the western world powers. Keep in mind that the u. S. Has said repeatedly under the Trump Administration, yes, they are technically following the deal, but its the spirit of the deal. Iran is still very much involved creating problems in syria and yemen. According to the Trump Administration and thats possibly why they may want to scrap the deal. Its not you said this is what a deal we have. Its not violation of the deal. Ballistic missiles are not covered in the nuclear deal. That was narrowly defined. A lot of analysts are trying to say vacate the hard liners. One hand wanting to maintain alliance with the five other countries stick with the nuclear gimmick.
