Is this the clue that finally helps crack the case . All that plus o. J. s life if hes paroled. The shocking moment a woman is dragged along a subway platform. And ready for more . What duchess kate said that has royal watchers going gaga, today, tuesday, july 18, 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. Nice to have you along with us on a tuesday morning. We have willie in for matt again. Lets get to the breaking news on capitol hill overnight. For seven years, republican lawmakers have vowed to overturn obamacare. But this morning, their latest plan has come to a screeching halt. Thats because two more republican senators announced they would vote no on their own partys proposal. That Left Party Leaders short of the required votes to move forward. We have complete coverage on this breaking development. Well start with nbc White House Correspondent kristen welker. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you. This is a devastating blow to one of the president s top agenda items and Biggest Campaign promises to repeal and replace obamacare. The white house was caught by surprise after two more republicans defected overnight, effective killing the bill. The president tweeting this morning, we were let down by all of the democrats and a few republicans, most republicans were loyal, terrific and worked really hard. We will return. The new strategy now, repeal and replace much later. Overnight, the republican plan to replace obamacare officially falling short, with two more gop senators unexpectedly pulling their support. Senator jerry moran of kansas, and senator mike lee of utah, both tweeting their opposition at 8 30 last night on twitter, about the same time President Trump was meeting with several key republican lawmakers at the white house, and just hours after the president appeared confident the legislation would pass. So, were going to get that done, and i think were going to surprise a lot of people. But were getting it together. And its its going to happen. Reporter President Trump tweeting out a new strategy late last night. Republicans should just repeal failing obamacare on a new Health Care Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell saying that vote to repeal much of obamacare could come in days. With a twoyear grace period to allow for a table transition. But senator mcconnell stressing even that will be a tough path. The defeat coming hours after snars delayed a preliminary vote on the bill because they were missing a key vote, senator john mccain who is recovering in arizona after surgery to remove a blood clot. We miss him. Hes a crusty voice in washington. Plus, we need his vote. Reporter senator mccain weighing in overnight. We must not repeat the original mistakes that led to obamacares failure. The Congress Must receive input from members of both parties. But the republicans are facing a fierce opposition. Your job is on the line. Reporter many made their voices heard on capitol hill monday. Leader mcconnell didnt give an exact date for the vote to repeal obamacare. But indicated an announcement will be coming soon. Republicans privately acknowledge even securing the votes for their fallback plan will be difficult. Savannah . Willie . Kristen stand by there. I want to keep this conversation going but bring in kasie hunt to course capitol hill for us. Lets pick up right where kristen left off. Are there the votes for the repeal now replace later idea . And is there any reason to think this gets easier with time . Im not sure that theres a reason to think it does get easier with time. The reality, they set out the repeal and replace plan originally because leadership knew they didnt have support to just do a straight repeal. This is really the difference being between a party opposing a president , barack obama, in congress, and having to be the party that governs. You actually have some senators out at home at town Hall Meetings acknowledge that up front. Say, hey, its a lot harder to govern than we thought. And frankly, the repeal only push came out of a party that was trying to oppose instead of one that was trying to write laws. So i think this is still a very tricky political calculation. Trying to only repeal it. Kristen, repeal and replace obviously was a core promise of the Trump Campaign over the course of about two years now. Weve been hearing it, also from republicans in the house and the senate. Now yesterday, as you point out in the tweet that the president changing to well lets at least repeal this thing and work with democrats to replace it later. How shaken was the white house with this Development Last night . They are shaken. They know this is a risky strategy. The plan is to force democrats back to the table to negotiate over a new Health Care Plan by repealing it. Theres no indication democrats will play ball with them. Chuck schumer rushing republicans to start to approve obamacare. In a statement he said overnight, rather than repeating the same failed process yet again, republicans should start with scratch and work with democrats on a bill that lowers premiums, and improved our health care system. This underscores the Political Risk for republicans if they cant get democrats on board with their new plan. The gop could really pay for this by losing seats, willie. Let me take that hot potato and kick it back to kasie. What do you hear on the hill . Would democrats do something with republicans in the name of replacing obamacare . I think that if the frame on this is, weve repealed president obamas health care while replacing it with something better, i dont know democrat its are going to go with that. The politics have gotten so calcified. Both sides are way down in the trenches. You have trumpcare on one happened, obamacare on the other. If republicans fail to push forward a plan, you may see a situation where democrats work with them to try to make basically a smaller fix to those individual obamacare markets that weve talked so much about. The ones where many states only have one plan, for example. I think we are still a ways away from that. If you still see President Trump looking for a victory. I do not think theres any way democrats will try to help him out on that. Our team on capitol hill on this latest development. Thank you very much.

Two people aboard a small plane were killed on monday when the airplane made a crash landing on a golf course in mesa, arizona. The pilot reported mechanical problems who could not reach the airport. Burning fuel charred the grass around the wreckage. Crash investigators are returning to that scene this morning. A massive fireball was caught on camera after a broken down truck on the side of the road was clipped by another truck and exploded on monday. This happened in eastern china. Amazingly, there were no serious injuries reported. But the smoldering wreckage you see there, shut down the roadway for nearly two hours. The exact cause of the accident is under investigation. Back to that dramatic video we showed you at the top of the show. Take a look at the top of the screen here. A 43yearold woman in rome steps on to the train and decides to back out. But her bag is caught in the door. Her arm tangled up in the strap of the bag. The train pulls away from the station, dragging her down the platform. She does slip free but not before suffering fractures. The plane did pull the emergency brake switch but it didnt work. An investigation into why the mechanisms failed is now under way in rome. How terrifying. But shes okay. Shes okay. Lets get a check of the weather with al. The heat is back. Good morning. And we are going to be talking about dangerous heat.

Good morning, everybody. Lets go to the head lines and well start with this major news from capitol hill over the night. Lacking votes to pass a health care bill, senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell says he will now push a measure that would repeal obamacare now, and then work to replace it within two years. That announcement came just a few hours after two more republican senators said they opposed the replacement bill that had been unveiled last week. The medical examiners officers has ruled the Deadly Police shooting of a bridetobe in minneapolis a homicide. 40yearold Justine Damond was shot by officer mohammed noor, after she called 911 to report a possible assault near her home. That officer is an administrative leave pending an investigation. He released a statement through his attorney overnight offering condolences to the victims family. And the rough and tumble world of politics was on full display in taiwans parliament overnight. Take a look. Lawmakers were shoving and tackling each other. They threw water. This is all over a disagreement over a Controversial Program that aims to build a light rail system through the island. I feel better about our politics. Maybe we could use one of those. Just a good brawl. The opposite of hug it out. Just get it out of our system. Now, to the countdown that will be closely watched. The parole hearing for o. J. Simpson. It happens in two days. It will be televised live. What happens if simpson is paroled . Joe fryer is in las vegas with that story. Joe, good morning. Reporter good morning. This is where it all went down, where a decade ago, o. J. Simpsons bungled robbery attempt at a Las Vegas Hotel landed him behind bars. Now, as his next parole hearing fast approaches, friends are speaking out about where he might go, and what he might do, if hes let out of prison. Ive not had any incidents, despite all of the stories in the tabloids and everything. Reporter for the past nine years, o. J. Simpson says he has been a model prisoner. Now, at age 70, hes betting that clean record will convince a nevada parole board to set him free. I cant imagine who will get up and oppose his being released. Reporter f. Lee bailey who last spoke to simpson in 2008 was part of the dream team that got him acquitted in the 1994 murder case of his exwife nicole brown and her friend ron goldman. Simpson is serving a 33year sentence in nevada for robbing two Sports Memorabilia dealers in a vegas hotel. The board deemed him low risk and granted parole on some of his charges. He does not have a bad temper. I have taken people to lunch with o. J. Who thought he was a killer. And came away thinking theyd like to invite him to dinner. Reporter so if released, where will simpson go . His close friend tom scotto tells nbc news simpson hopes to return to florida but legal experts say the parole board could restrict his travel. In an interview with usa today scotto says simpson has stayed in regular contact with his four children, including his two with nicole brown, sydney now 31, and justin, 28, who also reside in florida. Scotto says simpson still has money from a 5 million personal pension, as well as an nfl pension that pace 1700 a month. Both are protected from the 33 million civil judgment won by the brown and goldman families, of which they say hes paid almost nothing. I do believe that he will be paroled. I remember what it was like before he was incarcerated. Where my nerves were at high alert, because i never knew where he was going to pop up. Reporter simpsons hearing will take place in front of four parole commissioners. They must reach a unanimous verdict. If they dont, they will immediately reach out to two standby commissioners. Sim then would then need four out of six to vote yes. If that happens, he could be released as early as october 1st. Back to you. All right well be watching in a couple of days. Joe fryer, in las vegas, for us. Thanks. Lets head over to al and his burning ring of fire. It says ring of fire right there. It does say that. Thats right. This is not about mexican food last night. Oh. Come on. You were all thinking it. Not only do we have the heat. But storms up and over this ridge and around it, as well. Strong storms up through the plains and the upper Mississippi River valley and also more monsoonal moisture from the southwest. This ridge will push up all this moisture from there and thats going to be the risk for strong storms, and looking at some problems as far as rainfall anywhere from one to two inches. Slow moving storms can cause big problems in the canyons and washes. We hav good morning, im meteorologist kari hall. We have some mild weather starting out with some clear skies inland.

Were back at 7 40 with our special series under covered. Roman farrow is digging into stories you dont necessarily see in the headlines. Were talking about water. Dont drink the water. Dont shower in it. Today, the state of california votes to regulate a chemical some say could be one of the most powerful cancer causing agents in the world. I went to a community where residents say they have been exposed for years. In californias central valley, 7. 5 Million People live on this homeland. This area is home to a dark circuit you cant see. I wondered why so many were getting sick. Reporter in the valley, hundreds of wells are tainted with a chemical called 1, 2, 3, tcp. It likely is carcinogenic to humans. Warning the residents about the danger of showering in it. It cant be proven, many believe its caused cancers in their community. In my family, three or four. Reporter suffering from cancers that could have been caused by this chemical. Yeah. People are tying. That little bubble. Thats the tcp. Reporter professor paul cratnik was called in. Theres few that are even close. Reporter its not regulated by the federal government or the states. It hasnt been studied in people. Its only been looked at in recent years. Even the slightest amount of tcp in water would be a potential health effect. Tpc got in the Drinking Water because dow and Shell Oil Company saw an opportunity to take waste at their chemical plants and sell it to farmers. Reporter todd robbins is an attorney representing 30 communities in the valley, getting them to cover the cost of cleaning up the water. Internal memos show dow chemicals calling it garbage. They were selling this chemical to farmers knowing it didnt do what it was supposed to do, kill the pests. That is direcorrect. Reporter did they know it was dangerous . By 1970, they knew. Reporter companies have prevailed but settled other lawsuits and lost one. With a jury verdict of 22 million for the community. Were in arvin, california, water from this well goes to homes in this area. Theyre testing it to see how much tcp is in the water. A lab looked at the results and found the amount of sixtimes of tpc the state says is safe. Concerned citizens gather to share their stories and fight back what they believe is a cancer threat. You hear so and so died of cancer. Thats somebodys mother. Reporter theyre not scientists. And nbc news has not verified claims of illness. But they concerned, even angry. Dow and shell declined our request for interviews. Shell said it was only trace amounts of tcp. The product was beneficial and notices that tcp was in other products made by other companies. If you could say one thing to dow and shell, what would it be . Shame on them. I would like to take a batote of water filled with water from here and see how much they drink. Reporter after years of pressure, the state of california is set to vote on whether to regulate tcp. Arvin is poor. But they deserve to live. Reporter california likely isnt going to be the last state to confront this decision. An aven Commission Says that tc has been found in 17 states. Well have that list on the website. Can it be filtered out . It is an expensive filtration process. Thats what this community is trying to cover the cost of. Talk to your representatives if youre on this list and are concerned.

Bottom line, the white house was caught by surprise, after two more republicans pulled their support for the Health Care Plan late tuesday. Senator jerry moran of kansas and mike lee of utah, tweeting out the opposition around the same time President Trump was meeting with key lawmakers here at the white house. President trump tweeting out a new strategy late last night, saying republicans should just repeal failing obamacare now and start with a new Health Care Plan. Dems will join in. Mitch mcconnell saying the vote to repeal could come in days, with a twoyear grace period. To allow for a transition. But mcconnell stressed even that will be a tough path. Chuck schumer saying overnight, rather than repeating the same failed partisan process yet again, republicans should start from scratch and work with democrats on a bill that lowers premiums and improves our health care system. This underscores the Political Risk for republicans. If they cant get democrats onboard with their plan, they could pay for it in the midterm elections by losing seats. Kristen, thanks.

His voice is the perfect mix of smooth and gritty. We were watching him. And i said, his wife performs with him. You know what . Thats the power couple i want to be part of. You know, hank can do my taxes. I love henry. But to perform with your spouse, that takes things to a different level. Maybe you do your taxes together. Yeah. Except im horrible at math and im frustrated. We should do a show where our spouses come in and do the show. Or just make fun of us. That would be fun. Henry doesnt really watch. He doesnt know how this whole thing works . You can say whatever you want. I did say to dylan, i love him. She followed it up, i really love him. This is like jay and beyonce. Yes. A more chill version. We want to live in the country. You went to the dairy queen, as part of our summer scoop series. We do now. I have a problem with july being National Ice Cream mon. Its also just summer. In summer, its hot. You eat ice cream. I have an idea for the Ice Cream Association of america. What is that . Im sure it exists. I think they should make january National Ice Cream month. You know why . Nobody wants ice cream in january. I do. Gavin, get on this. Find out how much ice cream they sell in january, compared to july. Ill bet its not that different. I would say its very different. It goes from stuff you buy in the freezer. And in the summer, stuff you buy at ice cream shops and trucks. In the summer, were walking its really hot, shes like, mommy, can i have an ice cream. She does not ask for one in january. To me, ice cream is a yearlong thing. You dont buy it outside. I disagree. I do it every night. Orange room. Shouldnt thats the question. Icecream summer. Icecreamwinter. What are you asking people . Prefer it in the summer or the winter . I eat it all the time. We find out. I went to dairy queen. And you thought the cone was lumpy. I thought i was really good. They dont do a swirl. I used to swirl the ice cream. You worked in an ice cream shop is past tense. What happened at the ice cream shop . I dont want to talk about it. You need to talk about what happened at the ice cream shop. I will tell. Dylan was fired from that job. You sound like you have glee. In college. It sits heavy in my heart. It was one of my favorite jobs. I loved working at ice cream shop. In new jersey. A little small thing, the size of this table. Its still there. Its a long story. I feel like my boss was out to get me. It was my nieces birthday party. Can i have the day off . It was pouring rain. There were four other people. I said its the size of this place. I called in and said i cant make it in to work. And the next day, i get a phone call were going to have to we have to let you go. I go, who is this . I thought it was a joke. No way i would be fired because of that. You told me before you ate a lot of ice cream on the job. That wasnt why i got fired. Could that have been the reason . I ate a small amount of a lot of ice cream. When you were closing up, did you put your head underneath . I always wanted to do that. After i made a milk shake, you fill up the cup why didnt you do that at dairy queen . What . Put your head under i think theres sanitation issues. My bad. I ate as much as i could. It was a Popular Ice Cream place. Oh, yeah. The line would be wrapped around the place. Check out the line at the beach in stone harbor, new jersey. Thats why you didnt get back my emails. It was the weekend. Was it a personal email . It wasnt a personal email . Was it a work email . Do you not replay on emails on weekends . Work emails . No. He doesnt text, either. Al will say, i texted you this picture. Oh, i never got it. And then, he showed me my number. And he has the wrong number. Hes texting somebody. That means you gave me the wrong number. Did you have that where a boy would ask for your telephone number and you would feel too bad to give it to him. And you would do not answer in your phone . No. If you didnt want to get if there was like a reason. Is that a bad thing to say . Why dont you give him the wrong number . Because i felt guilty.

Topvo firefighters this morning are still on scene of a brush fire in the good tuesday morning. 9 26. Firefighters this morning are still on scene of a brushfire in the south bay that briefly threatened a winery. Close to the mountain winery, which is also a popular concert venue. Firefighters say the fire is about 40 contained. The video you were looking at a moment ago was from sky ranger flying over the scene a little earlier today, where we saw layers of white smoke. This video, the water is being poured down on the flames is from yesterday afternoon. There were no structures damaged by the fire. Riders will be front and center this morning when barts Board Members are meeting to discuss safety improvements. Todays meeting is going to show an up tick in violence at bart stations. It comes in the wake of an attack. Bart leaders say any crime is unacceptable one possibility is hiring more Police Officers to manage this. Bart added new security cameras from its entire fleet of trains. Coming up, a look at your weather and traffic. Good tuesday morning, well have a wide range of temperatures once again today. Keeping it cooler at half moon bay. Expect a high of 63 degrees. Well be reaching 84 in san jose. Livermore, 89 degrees, concord will be up to 92 degrees, and mid80s for the north bay, with temperatures Holding Steady as we go into the next several days, a bit of a warmup in time for the weekend. You notice most of the activity thats not green is slow south of the dunbar bridge. Were looking at southbound 17 just in the last two minutes. The crash must have cleared. Westbound 237. Jamup around moffet where theres a crash reported in the last few minutes. Still blocking one of your middle lanes. Back to you. Thank you very much, mike. Thats the news for us right now, well be back with more news in 30 minutes. Now, to some parents and relationship questions. You may have always wondered about but would never admit in public. Were going to ask them for you. Whether its normal or not to dislike your spouse. Thats not normal. And if its okay to have a favorite kid. Here with the anxiouses to these questions and more, family psychologist, jennifer ha hartstein. The first one is for all of the janua jan bradys out there. Is it normal to have a favorite child . My guess is no. I think theres a favorite child in my family. You know who that is. Me, too. And its not us. The truth is, im going to own it. Im for sure the favorite child. Ill get that phone call later. Im kidding. The fact is, it is normal to have a favorite child. You have different interests. You have more than one child. And one is really doing great with you and youre clicking and the other one is not. Youre going to favor the one that youre getting along with better in that moment. But we want to be mindful of how we favor our children, right . A little bit of favoritism as it flows. But if you favor one as a parent all the time, it is going to cause some disruption in your other kids. It sure did. It sure did. We do joke about it with my brothers all the time. It has become a running joke at this point. Right. This question for our married viewers. Is it normal to hate your spouse . Strongly dislike your spouse, yes. Is it normal . Yes. Youre bringing two people with distinct personalities into a relationship. And relationships ebb and flow. What if you need your spouse to step up their game. And you need their help. Theyre just not stepping in. Youre going to build resentment. The key is communication. Can we talk it through . When that communication breaks down, we know theres some problem. But youre not going to like everybody all the time. You will love them all the time. But you may not like them. I think the key there the talking about it. Also, the ebbs and flows. Well have a great week and not so great. You hit the wall. Love and kindness has to be at the center. And respect. Coming up. Talking about school projects. Is it normal for parents to have that anxiety . Its normal for us to want to feel anxious. To feel anxious and want to succe succeed. Thats the key. Are we stepping in and blocking a barrier to their success. So they dont know how to fail, how to do it on their own. We know thats whats happening. You have to sit on your hands a little bit, tolerate your own anxiety. Talk to your partner and your friends. And let your kids try to do it. If you swoop in, you will really impact your kids selfesteem. I can see that. Moving to social media. Is it normal for an adult to get caught up in the social media world . You discussed this before . I think it is. Going to it mindlessly. Were all relationship driven. And we compare ourselves to others all the time. We like our kids and teenagers are going to compare ourselves in social media. Its a black hole. Its normal. But model what you think should be appropriate screen usage. You can only do better that way. I just interviewed that we dont put our bills or our problems on things that weigh us down. We put our vacations and our tans. Its fake. It is truly the epitome of fake news, in that were only showing our best self. Im going to take the acting. Its good to know that. Know this isnt totally real. 100 . The next one for stayathome moms. This is their job. And they love staying at home. But they might be embarrassed to say that. Right. The key thing here is that we as women need to support one another, instead of judge. Everyone chooses what works for them. For some, stay at home. And others might be childless. Every woman should get to decide what they want to do. Lets focus on the support of that. Rather than the youre a stay at home mom . By the way, i watched my mom do it. Its hard. Really, really hard. And working moms feel guilty. And stay at home moms feel guilt. Mom guilt be gone.

Misty copeland is ballet dancer that made the new york theater company. Shes a New York Times best selling author with a new book ballerina body. And she has her own barbie doll. You can catch her as a judge on nbcs hit show, world of dance, alongside j. Lo, neo and derek hou. Derek hough. I know. Youve done judging before. This was different this time. Yeah. Being surrounded by artists like neyo and j. Lo and others. It was a different dynamic. Thats something i was able to lend before, being in the myst of my career. And giving the dances an idea of what it is like to be a working professional. When youre judging, are you thinking what it is like to receive criticism . Thats part of being a dancer. When americas watching, they get caught up. Youre too harsh. Or this is hard the see the young people get the criticism. But thats part of a dancers life. Its ingrained in us. Were in a studio, standing in front of a mirror to critique ourselves. And the ballet matters are there. I got to see misty dance. You have been dancing since you were a teen. Do you get tired of it . Do you get to where you want a day off . Of course. I love what i do. Theres no way you can work eight hours a day, performing six days a week, if you didnt love it. The work that goes into it is so much more than getting on stage and having flowers thrown at you. You spend 90 of the time working your butt off. I love it. Having been blessed enough to see you dance, its a joy. It has to be fulfilling when the little girls come up to you and what do they say . Its incredible. To hear it from their parents, as well. For them to be able to see possibilities that they didnt see before. To feel like its okay to not fit into this cookie cutter mold of what a dancer should be. And they see a different feature for themselves. And seeing them with my barbie, and just ready to take a puck ch picture. Its beautiful to see the next generation with new possibilities, i think. You have a new special. The last time we got together was your under armour commercial. Tell us about the new one. Unlike any is the campaign. This is my second commercial and campaign with all will. Its setting an example for all athletes and the direction we should be going, empowering women, that its okay to be strong. And just being a part of under armour and watching the growth. And how much the womens line and campaign have grown throughout the time ive been with them, its incredible to be a ballerina, a black woman and one of the faces of under armour. Breaking so many boundaries. Misty, thank you so much. We want to remind you, world of dance, tonight at 10 00, 9 00 central. I have to answer to the weather map. Please. No, no. Do a twirl. No, i cant. I cant. I cant do that. I do my summer storm in the gulf. Monsoonal moisture causing problems in the southwest. That will plague that region tomorrow. Sunshine along the west coast. It will be hot and sultry from the hot plains to well get a lot of sunshine inland, and at times sunshine in San Francisco. And temperatures cooler reaching 64 degrees today. Well be in the mid60s throughout most of the week, and slightly warmer at times for the weekend. For the inland areas, well be in the upper 80s as we go through the rest of the week and sunshine. Then well be in for some slightly warmer temperatures heading into the end of the weekend and into early next week. In the near term, were going to bring those temperatures a little closer to average for this time of year. And thats your latest weather. Well, it might be morning. But its always a good time for Tennessee Whiskey. Chris stapleton, i love you so much, thats why i bought six of you for when you stretch out.
