The locker room, some of my favorite posting this from the locker room. Look at roy williams in the middle of it all. Getting soaked and you know its great to see a coach like roy williams.

Ginger, thank you. Now to President Trump trying to move forward this morning after that Stunning Health care defeat. The president blaming members of his own party for the failure. Abcs senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega, has more on that for us. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good morning. Youre right. The blame game is in full force. The president now pointing fingers at everyone from democrats to conservative republicans for that blow to health care. President trump now looking to lay blame after that crushing defeat on health care. Blasting conservatives, tweeting, democrats are smiling in d. C. That the Freedom Caucus with the help of club for growth and heritage have saved planned parenthood and obamacare. But the chair of the Freedom Caucus, unapologetic. Well, i mean at this particular point i can tell you no one has been more selfcritiquing than me. Reporter the president and fellow republicans saying they are now looking to turn the page to their next big challenge, tax reform. Also signaling they may be ready to reach across the aisle. I think its time for our folks to come together and i also think its time to potentially get a few moderate democrats on board. Reporter will democrats get on board . He moved so far to the hard right. That is virtually impossible for us to work with him. If he changes, he could have a different presidency. Reporter the blame game comes after a weekend of clashes at protrump rallies across the country. Protesters and Trump Supporters coming to blows as the president seemed to be in his own battle with Republican House speaker paul ryan, with this head scratching tweet saying, watch judge jeanine on fox news saturday night. Those who tuned in saw judge Jeanine Piero open her show with an explosive hit on ryan. Paul ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house. The reason, he failed to deliver the votes on his health care bill. Reporter but the white house claims the timing was just a coincidence, and paul ryan has the president s full support. He doesnt blame paul ryan. In fact, he thought paul ryan worked really hard. He enjoys his relationship with paul ryan. Thinks paul ryan is a great speaker of the house. Reporter the investigations into russia. The president s soninlaw Jared Kushner has volunteered to testify before the Senate Intelligence committee about meetings that he arranged with russias ambassador. David. A lot of eyes on Jared Kushner as well, cecilia, thanks to you. Lets bring in your teammate, Jonathan Karl here. Weve got political analyst matthew dowd with us here this morning. Jon, first the big picture. You remember a week before election day then candidate donald trump saying repealing and replacing obamacare, one of the single most important issues. Why must we win and Great Health Care at a tiny fraction of the cost. So easy. How big of a defeat is this . A devastating blow not only because he fails to keep a Key Campaign Promise but puts in question the rest of the trump agenda. Can he get anything passed if he couldnt do this . Can he even keep the government running which runs out of funding on april 28th. But but, david, this gives trump a chance to become the transformational president that he wanted to be, because the only way out of this is to find a way to work with democrats. There is no longer a republican working governing majority. He could reach out to democrats on drug prices, on infrastructure, even on closing special interest tax loopholes. You believe the defeat gives him that excuse . It gives him a chance to do it. The problem with that is democrats smell blood and trump has gone in the opposite direction so far. It could be a major course quick question on the millions who depend on obamacare. They heard it survived, they have breathed a sigh of relief and hear President Trump say well let it explode. So, obamacare is the law of the land. That means the people depending on the subsidies will continue. Medicaid expansion continues but all the problems with obamacare wont get addressed either. Lets bring in matt. As you know the big pivot, the president will push for tax reform. Tax cuts. Without repealing obamacare wont this make it even harder now . Absolutely, david. I mean the Health Care Reform was a Building Block that he needed for all his other parts of his plan, tax reform, infrastructure, his budget was that was a key Building Block. Thats been removed and falls down. I think democrats will have a hard time not only because of their base but because they feel like they got a victory to go along with tax cuts that are primarily aimed at the rich. I think its going to be really hard for donald trump to make that bridge on that particular piece of legislation. Matt, just a few seconds left. You heard john go out on a limb there saying it could be a transformational president. How willing will the democrats be willing to help on any legislative victory . I think its hard and their base is very much against donald trump and i think donald trump would fundamentally have to change as a person to be able to do that. I would think he needs to channel Michael Jackson which is im starting with the man in the mirror. He needs to take a look at himself and make a change. Thats what he needs to do. He needs to start the process by fundamentally changing who he is. The first time anyone has put it that way. Matt dowd, jon karl, here with us, thanks. Great to have you both guys. Robin. Now overseas to turmoil in russia. Mass demonstrations breaking out across the country. The biggest in years there by protesters angry about corruption. More than a thousand were arrested including a leading critic of president putin. Abcs Alex Marquardt has the latest and joins us this morning. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning. Thats right. We havent seen anything like this in russia in at least five years, far bigger protests than anyone expected. The official goal was to protest corruption but demonstrators there making it clear their anger is bigger than that. The largest gist play of defiance against Vladimir Putin in years. Thousands marching in moscow and almost 100 other cities and towns across russia. They were billed as protests against corruption, but the bigger message was clear. Russia without putin, they chanted surrounded by riot police, almost none of the rallies had been approved by the authorities, and the crackdown was swift. This woman lifted and dragged away. She later said she wasnt even a protester. One of more than 1,000 people arrested on sunday. Demonstrators tried to block the arrest of protest organizer and anticorruption crusader alexei navalny. No need to fight to get me out, he tweeted. Our topic of the day is the fight against corruption. Navalny called for the protest after publishing a video report claiming that Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev has accrued luxury items. During his time in office. Claims that he denies. One american was also arrested. Journalist alec lunh tweeted i was released 5 1 2 hours after being arrested and the navalny protest caused him to be charged with holding an unsanctioned rally. Hundreds are still in detention this morning, and however brave it was for the protesters to come out, the president has an Approval Rating of 80 . As for navalny, he was in court, fined an sentenced to 15 days in jail for organizing the protests. David. Thanks, alex. Now to a new arrest.

Recruited from his home state of North Carolina, he passed up scholarship offers at other schools to be a tar heel. Maye usually comes off the bench and averages 14 minutes and just 5 1 2 points per game. I just kind of stepped back and gave me the ball and i just shot it and luckily it went in.
