but, guys, here we go again, already four g.o.p. senators oare opposing the repeal effort. susan collins, lisa murkowski, shelley moore can a pit toe and rob portman no. democrat is supporting it the past four is proving more difficult. see what the lunch brings other than a few cases of, perhaps, end guess. steve: have you got to feel for donald trump. because it was on the day after the election. he figures, okay, i have got the white house and i have got republican majorities in the house and the senate. we can get stuff done. turns out the president at that point president-elect probably believed that all those republicans who two years ago voted to repeal and replace, if given the chance, would do it again. that is not the case. of the four republican senators that griff just showed us, three of them voted for repeal and replace. this exact bill in 2015. susan collins did not.
i m sure we will have it here on fox. corey, thank you for joining us live. brian: corey thinks healthcare lives. steve: absolutely. that makes sense. it sounds like the vote is going to be on monday to proceed it sounds like if it does pass in the senate, then the president will go out to ohio and it will be a victory lap. ainsley: brian just wants us to say you are right. brian has said this in the past. right, jillian? brian is like all right i m right again. brian: you think it s all about me. jillian: it is all about brian. don t you know that? jillian: good morning to you guys. later today, president trump s verdict fraud commission will hold its first public meeting. the bipartisan panel led by vice president mike pence is under fire after most states, at least partially refused to hand over voting data. the panel is hoping to pinpoint any potential flaws that may have led to voter fraud during the 2016 election. kris kobach the vice chair of the presidential chair on election i
president the microphone. ainsley: mainstream media is doing this story over and over and over and it s not true. when they do have a story that could be truthful. no one is going to believe them. it s like calling wolf. steve: white house says it was not a second meeting. just a brief conversation at the end of dinner when vladimir putin was next to melania trump. bremmer says it was a meeting. brian: kindest one to the russians the one that left the meeting. barack obama. own congress that forced barack obama, secretary of state kerry and secretary of state hillary rodham clinton to be tough on russia. not russia. it s amazing how democrats have flipped the script. steve: this president has more flexibility after the election. brian: oh, that s right. steve: wait, wrong president, wrong election. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for you. jillian: good morning to you and to you at home as well. one day before o.j. simpson going before a parole board.
he is ready to sign something. the big question is on monday will enough republicans vote to proceed and we hear the vote is then and if they get 51, next thing you know they are going to vote on the repeal. brian: first got to get okay to see if they can vote on repeal. joining us now is herman cain 2012 presidential candidate. herman, what do you think the president was thinking when he made those statements. very measured yesterday did not fire off and attack any republicans. you know in his heart he feels as though he is let down by these guys. mislead, too. he has been mislead and let down. remember, he gave this reconciliation approach a chance. he said all along, maybe we should just let it fail it did. so now we go to plan b. he says let it fail and then we are going to go from there. i know we have four holdouts who said they are not going to vote the same way they voted a couple of years ago. well, the american people aren t as stupid as they used to be.
right now let s dial in the former campaign manager for donald trump corey lewandowski down in our nation s capital. corey, good morning to you. good morning. steve: there is going to be a lunch at the white house at noon 30. is he going to make sur he is go make sure that he did can get as many as possible to vote on the repeal bill next week. what are you hearing about this? i know the president is a great dealmaker and we were very, very close on this piece of legislation. there are a couple tweaks that need to happen to bring senator mike lee from utah on board. look, it s been publicly reported that there are probably two republican u.s. senators who aren t going to support the bill. rand paul from kentucky and sue collins from maine. you don t necessarily need them if you get everybody else and you put mike pence in the chair and he breaks the tie. i think this bill is going to get done. the president is probably going to close the deal today. if that s the case, this bill mo
