Committed to replacing obamacare the same day it is repealed . Cnn newsroom starts now. Hello again. Thank you for joining me. Im fredricka whitfield. We have distressing new video from inside that ft. Lauderdale airport. Showing when the gunman opens fire in the baggage area. This video is difficult to watch. It is crucial in understanding the context of this shooting. This is a freeze frame, now, of what appears to be Security Camera footage, obtained by tmz. The man in the blue shirt is believed to be accused gunman, esteban santiago. We will play the video one time throughout this hour. It is silent. And it is security footage. And it is disturbing. Pay attention to the left side of your screen, where the man in the blue shirt enters the frame. He is due in court. He is facing serious charges. All of them eligible for the death penalty, fred. Boris sanchez. At ft. Lauderdale airport. I want to bring in Matthew Haras and paul shmek. Good to see you. Your reaction to the video . I th
depending on where you live. if you live in washington state you get access to medicate expansion. if you live in some southern state where they have denied that, you don t. it is the same thing with rental assistance. the same thing with child care. we need to be conscious of this as we develop these programs bus unfortunately it is a crazy situation where republicans are saying, we don t want to help our open constituents from being homeless? i was going to talk about infrastructure and reconciliation as well but i have gotten a lot from you on this as well. i want to move on to donald trump with regard to the january th panel. it is optimistic it is going to hear testimony from former trump officials because the doj said it is not going to block any of them from testifying. again as the washington post reports, the committee is also facing the unprecedented choice of whether or not to call republican lawmakers to testify. so who do you most want to see give testimony to your colle
is a tie and i suspect there won t be, he is the president of the senate and he can break the tie. the president may get this bill even though there were a handful of republican who is seriously thought of killing it. the tax reform is different. it s a signature policy prerogative going back decades and they waited to get a republican president to do this. on health care the debate shifted. the trump voter who helped him get into office and medicate expansion and they have shown this as popular. they couldn t repeal it. they will start fighting about cost cutting and daca and they will fight against. not one of the senators wanted to invoke the vote. it was too much of a republican goal. they did it and they are refusing to do it on this. tax reform is the goal. they never meant to cut taxes for the middle class.
in virginia on tuesday. more than double the second top issue. and in maine voters came out in force to approve medicate expansion with 59% of the vote despite governor paul le page s defiant vetoes. he said yesterday he will not implement the expansion until the legislature funds it. according to the portland press herald, the state would have to spend $54 million annually to receive $525 million matching federal funds under the affordable care act. trying to do the math there for him. and maine senior senator republican susan collins will certainly have some thoughts on that. she joins us alongside democrat joe manchin next on morning joe.
something. i do think the rational that you were talking about, they have to do something does move the vast majority of republicans. for the swing votes they need, they are not going to be swayed. they are not just going to take it and grab it for anything called a repeal. the medicate expansion was one of the popular elements of obamacare that lawmakers on both sides say they are with the existing health law. it will be very difficult to get to people like that over the hump if they are not there yet. if you are a republican voter in america and you have questions about the health care and they go through this again and don t do it, i want to read this before we go to break. the number two senate republican on the relationship between senate republicans and president trump. it s like a thunderstorm. after a while it clears up and the sun comes out and it s okay. when asked if they find that
