North korea. Plus, should grandparents get a break when it comes to the president s travel ban . Well explain the latest legal challenge and which travelers it could effect. Lets get to it. First from theed if this friday after, deadline day in washington for Senate Republicans to reach a healthcare deal before the fourth of july recess. Our capitol hill producer chad pergram is reporting dont expect break throughs today. One conservative senator is proposing what he calls plan b. Repeal first, replace later. Senator sass says if republicans cant reach an agreement in the coming days, they should repeal as much of the act as possible when they come back from the fourth of july break and then cancel the recess cancel vacation . Cancel it to work through the summer on a separate replacement bill. Senator sasse talked about his plan on fox and forecast this morning. Weve been trying to do the two things at once and not making progress. I still hope it could work but most people are leaving d. C. To go home for the fourth of july weekend. Senator sasse said there would be a year delay so lawmakers would have time to get a replacement in place. Shortly after that fox and friends segment, the republican senators are unable to pass what theyre working on, they should repeal and replace at a later date. Republicans can afford to lose two votes and still pass a healthcare bail. They face unanimous democratic opposition for now. Nine gop senators have come out against the Senate Healthcare bill as written. The majority leader mcconnell delayed a vote this week. He warned Senate Republicans if you cant cut a deal, you might have to work with the democrats. Team fox coverage ahead. Mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. John roberts is out in the yard. Good morning. The tweet you showed from the president there is really a stark departure in his thinking. During the Election Campaign and during the transition, the president insists that repeal and replacement of obamacare needed to happen if not simultaneously within a very short period of time because he was afraid of people losing coverage. This idea now that if the senate cannot coalesce around a single bill to repeal and replace obamacare and do it in two parts. Some people are talking about repeal it, but delay the repeal and craft a replacement bill. Its a departure in thinking for the president. When i asked that question today, the Principle Deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders, she resisted the notion that the president was thinking about this differently. Listen here. What is the basis for his change in thinking . The president hasnt changed his thinking at all. Hes campaigned on repealing and replacing obamacare. Were fully committed to pushing through with the senate at this point. But were looking at every possible option of repealing and replacing obamacare. You mentioned ben sasse. Hes set a time line of july 10 to either go with the plan for repeal and replacement or decide to do it differently. We asked the white house today about that time line. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the president is not sticking to a set timetable. Hes focused on the end goal of repeal and replacement of obamacare. It would seem regardless how that gets done. Shepard john what are the next steps now . The senate and i think mike emanuel talking more about this will go to the cbo for scoring on a couple different versions. For the white houses standpoint, the white house is going to remind all of the senators on the republican side that back in 2015, to a person with the exception of Susan Collins of maine, they voted to repeal and replace obamacare under then president obama. This was 2015. The bill that they voted on was tougher than the one thats before the senate now. But they all voted for it basically because they knew it had no hope of becoming law. So it was a showboat. This is a time when the rubber could meet the road. Whatever they sign or whatever they agreed to in the senate could become law. So theres more bet hedging going on right now in the senate. One more thing, john. The president is set to sign an executive order to establish or reestablish, really, what they call the National Space advisory council. What is that . This was something that was established in 1958 under the eisenhower administration. John kennedy. President kennedy elevated it. President trump is a fan of space. He wants to send people to mars with all of the commercial applications now. Hes reestablishing the Space Council and will put mike pence back in charge. An echo of the Kennedy Administration as we go forward with a lot of these private companies now that are doing contract work for the government. So does raise a lot of issues about what the official Public Policy should be as it relates to space. John roberts on the north lawn. Thanks. Team coverage continues on the healthcare bill. Lets get to mike emanuel. What are other republicans saying about the proposal to repeal now and replace later . Moderates dont like the idea of splitting it. They say for one, conservatives may vote to repeal but not support a replacement plan. Number 2, you need to tell your constituent whats youre doing to replace the law. U. Susan collins of maine are fo the idea. Rand paul has said hes spoken to the Senate Leadership and the president about this and said lets keep our word to repeal and work on replacing right away. Mitch mcconnell continue to find a path of 50 votes for the gop Senate Healthcare package. I think there will be various proposals, pieces submitted to the cbo to get their feedback and what the impacts will be with respect to coverages and costs and that sort of thing. The cbo or Congressional Budget Office will provide estimates of the price and impact of those proposals, shep. Shepard theres this talk among some republicans about cancelling recess, cancelling the Summer Vacation to stay back and work. How is that fly something. Thats right. A number of them are feeling the pressure of the legislative calendar. Ten republican senators have written to majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. They are senators purdue, eaear earnst, kennedy, sullivan, ti tillis. Theyre asking that they cancel recess unless theres progress on healthcare, the debt ceiling, funding the government and improving the tax code. The ten gop senators wrote our Current Senate calendar shows 33 potential working days remaining before the end of the fiscal year. This does not appear to give us enough time to adequately address the issues that demand immediate attention. This is not an easy process. It was never designed to be easy. But its difficult, we have an obligation to stick it out until its done. If were not finished with those things that i mentioned by the time august 1 hits, we have no business of taking a recess. Leadership aides say progress is being made in terms of healthcare. But we dont expect an announcement today, shep. Shepard thanks, mike. So is there a solution that the moderate and conservatives can agree upon . Well talk with a reporter that covers congress and says senators could face more pressure when theyre back home from the fourth break. Thats next. First, a moment you may have missed today. Turns out president trumps longtime body guard, keith schiller, has quick reflexes. He can protect the president and also the furniture. Watch what happened as reporters jostled for position in the oval office. Keep an eye on the righthand side of the screen. Nice save caught the lamp before some pesky reporter toppled it. Well zoom in here. The press pool was significantly larger than usual with a lot of south korean journalists there. But today, crisis prevented at least in a lamp way. Well be back. More now on Senate Republicans trying to come together in one way or another or healthcare as they go away for a break. A new talk of possible plan b. Repeal now, replace later. Lets bring in katrina pearson. Christina pearson. She recovers congress, our corporate covers at the wall street journal. Theres a story today online at wsj. Com about republicans battling each other. Is there Something Real here or is this just talk from the right . Its hard to tell at this point. The conservative senators are uneasy with where the bills is. Its hard to tell if Mitch Mcconnell will get the 50 votes he needs. Shepard he will have to get some votes eventually. Its a crucial part of the president s legislative agenda. Have they come up with a way to bring democrats over at some point . Its been discussed. Were not at that point yesterday. If mcconnell cant get the votes, theres a widespread recognition they will have to get some steps to stabilize the individual market. I dont think they will be there until the republicans can decide they cant muster up the votes. Shepard what is it that has destabilized the markets . What are the xs and 0s on this . A lot of didnt factors and varies state by state. Seems the current state of the market is precarious. A younger healthier people have chosen not to buy insurance in some cases. So thats why some of what the republican plans are looking at now is finding a way to incentivize those people to buy less comprehensive but cheaper plans. That could mean that costs rise for older and sicker people. Thats the struggle that theyre engaged in right now. Shepard theres resistance on the right, resistance among moderates. Does it seem if theres money for the Opioid Crisis or money for something in particular that they might come along . If so, what is it . They definitely seem to be one incentive that could get them support, but they have indicated concerns over the cuts to medicaid. Republicans in states that expanded medicaid are under pressure. The Current Senate bill would shave 772 billion over ten years from federal medicaid funding. So thats a big issue. Republicans have indicated that even though they want more opioid funding, that alone is probably not enough to get them on board. Shepard that just sounds like if thats not enough, what else are they going to want . The conservatives, the rand pauls of the world are not going there. Wont seem they will. Theres talk about adjusting the growth rate of medicaid spending. Currently the growth rate would be lower than the house rate. Thats something that they could tweak for older people, disabled people. There could be some dialling up or dialling down of that. They could also phase out the Medicaid Expansion more slowly. Those are a couple of areas that theyre looking at right now. Shepard you look at poll numbers when theyre good and you dont look at them when theyre bad. Everybody watches them and knows that the American People in large part are against the bill as written. I wonder if they developed a message . Like elderly people in Nursing Homes and people with Young Children that are using medicaid, what is their message for them about what will happen in the next month or six months . I dont think theyre doing anything immediately. One message the republicans have been clear on, they dont want to pull the rug out for anybody. Theyre aware its a concern and trying to make sure that they calm any fears that there would be an immediate overhaul. Theyre trying to say it will be rolled out gradually. Theres a concern about how they can Effect People around 55 that would be on medicare. Christina pearson from the wall street journal, happy fourth. Enjoy. Same to you. Shepard thank you. President trump meeting with the south korean. And giving a real warning to north korea. As the United States draws up new war plans of sorts against the north koreans, our close ally in south korean may not be on the same page at all.
