this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell and gayle king are off. anthony mason and alex wagner are here, which means they're now working seven days a week. as you wake up in the west, a dramatic and pivotal day is unfolding for the republican plan to replace obamacare. events in the house just getting under way. the final

mind or the bill will fail. no democrats are expected to vet yes. chip reid is on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is an extraordinary high stakes gamble by president trump. he's basically ordering the republicans to oppose this bill to change their votes, the question now is do they owe bay him or call his bluff. after meeting with budget director mick mulvaney and reince priebus and steve bannon, house speaker paul ryan made a decision. >> we will repeal and replace this law because it's failing families. tomorrow we're proceedings. >> reporter: republican leadership failed to gather the votes needed to pass his first signature piece of legislation. >> mr. mulvaney made it clear, the president is done negotiating. >> reporter: mulvaney told house gop members mr. trump wants the vote on the health care bill to be today no matter what. if they fail to pass this bill, he said, the white house will keep obamacare in place and house republicans will be bleemd. >> can you be a governing party, the president has done everything he can to put us in the position to win. >> reporter: after a frustrating day of negotiations, the most conservative members of congress are still not satisfied with the latest changes. >> if you wanted specific numbers -- they don't have the votes. >> reporter: the updated bill drops the obamacare requirement that insurance companies cover ten essential health benefits including hospitalization, maternity care, prescription drugs and mental health services. >> i'm not confident in anything right now. >> reporter: the final vote is scheduled to happen sometime this afternoon. if the bill fails, president trump says health care reform is dead. but as we've seen before, with president trump driving the bus, just about anything can happen. anthony? >> chip, thanks. major garrett is at the white house where the president is trying to project strength in the face of potential defeat. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. during the campaign, then candidate trump said washington was all talk, no action. now he wants action, and he sent his budget director up to capitol hill telling speaker ryan, we want to vote. when speaker ryan said we may not have the votes, the budget director nick mulvaney says the president doesn't care, he wants action, a vote, decisive call on obamacare replacement and wants it now. unvowed white house press secretary sean spicer insisted last night that the postponement of thursday's vote was no setback. >> we want to do this in broad daylight tomorrow. >> earlier in the day -- >> i anticipate the white house predicted victory, this hours before the vote was postponed by house republicans lacking the votes to pass the bill and eager to avoid embarrassment. >> do you expect there to be a vote tonight. >> that's what i understand the house's scheduled yes. >> any plan if the bill doesn't pass tonight? >> it's going to pass. that's it. >> reporter: for his part thursday afternoon he climbed into the driver's seat to the delight of visiting truckers but soon found the bill stalled and possibly stymied. 20 minutes after the postponement president trump spoke as if nothing has changed. >> today the house is voting to repeal and replace the disaster known as obamacare. we'll see what happens. it's going to be a very close vote. >> which prompted this obvious questi question. >> the president has taken to twitter criticizing conservative house republicans in the freedom caucus saying if they vote no, they're going to preserve funding for planned parenthood, something they've long opposed. >> major thanks. white house budget director nick mulvaney from the white house. >> good morning, charlie. >> why do you think an ultimatum will work now with the caucus when it hasn't before? >> i think you've got a new president in place and a president who tried to deliver the message last night which is that the republicans are all on the same page. yesterday was the seventh anniversary of the signing of obamacare, today should be the beginning of its unwinding. we're looking for the same things, we want to take obamacare away and give people control and the options they want, the quality they deserve and the affordability they need. we need to start it and do it today. >> budget director, this plan -- a poll suggests this plan is very unpopular. 56% of americans disapprove. 74%, nearly three-quarters, oppose cutting medicare funding. >> first of all, nothing cuts medicare. i'm not sure where that is coming from. >> medicaid, excuse me. >> that's fine. i'm sure most folks don't know what's in the bill. we made the bill much better over the course of the last weeks. my guess is most people don't know the phase two regulatory reforms or the phase three additional bills. the point of the matter is this, they know they don't like obamacare. people at home know they don't like it. it takes the control of their own health care out of their han hands. what's sitting in the house today is better than that, and this is the chance to pass it. >> mr. mulvaney, when you talk about something better, does that include the slashing of essential services including maternity care, emergency services and prescription drugs? >> i love the term slashing those essential services. keep in mind, states not only have the ability to require those services, many of them already do. i talked to some folks in the northeast and they say, yeah, we don't really mind that much because our states already require insurance policies sold in those states to have that. what we're doing is taking away the federal control of these systems. if you live in a state that wants to mandate maternity coverage for everybody including 60-year-old women, that's fine. >> what if the state doesn't do that? >> you can figure out a way to change the state that you live? >> they should move? >> no. they can try to change their state legislatures and state laws. why do we look to the federal government to fix our local problems? that's one of the big problems with obamacare, took the one size fits all and clammed it down on the entire country. as a result you have a system where everybody just about can afford to have insurance but no one can afford to go to the doctor. that's what we're trying to fix and that's what the house bill does. >> many people say not only members of congress at risk here, it is the president's agenda, if he cannot get through a replacement health care, that the rest of his agenda will be at risk. >> a couple different things on that. first of all, the rest of the agenda will stand on its own. the tax policy will stand on its own merits. the infrastructure policy will stand on its own merits. the other efforts to put people back to work, of which this is one, by the way. excellent data from many sources that show that obamacare depresses the desire to go to work, takes incentive from going to work. this is actually a jobs bill in the house. folks will still have to be accountable. lawmakers will have to be accountable as to why they didn't vote to get rid of obamacare when they had the chance. >> mick mulvaney, thanks for joining us. democrats say the chairman of the house intelligence committee privately apologized for his decision to brief president trump on secret intelligence intercepts. california republican devin nunes angered democrats and republicans for briefing the president and the public before sharing that information with his own committee. some questioned whether he can be impartial. nunes told mr. trump conversations were intercepted by the intelligence committee. nunes last night explained why he went to the president. >> it's clear that i would be concerned if i was the president. that's why i wanted him to know, and i felt like i had a duty and obligation to del him. >> surveillance revelations came amid mr. trump's unproven allegations the obama administration wiretapped trump tower. minutes from now president trump will announce he's approved the controversial xl pipeline, carrying oil from canned da to refineries on the gulf coast. the state department signed the permit for construction. it says the pipeline serves the national interest of the united states. the department reached the opposite conclusion during the obama administration. a high school boys track team was on board a bus when a semi truck veered into on coming traffic east of dallas and hit the school bus. david begnaud is at the scene. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is a violent crash. you can tell by the bus here on the side of the road. it happened at 10:30 last night. the kids on board the bus were part of a boy's track team headed to mt. pleasant high school. the bus rolled at 10:30 after they were clipped by an 18-wheeler. is the driver's door. the driver of the 18-wheeler clips the

girl's track team. after hitting ms. beard, the driver of the tractor-trailer continued another 20 yards and his body was also found inside of the rig. we're getting a report from local officials that someone called 911 shortly before these crashes saying someone was driving all over the roader radically. they were asking that police come out and stop the driver. the caller never said whether it was the driver of an 18-wheeler. what we know about the 18-wheeler driver, he's from missouri, 50 years old. it's unclear whether he fell asleep at the wheel or was impaired. british police made two

criminal record, but not on the radar for extreme into links. >> a determination is to find out if he acted totally alone, inspired by perhaps terrorist propaganda or if others are encouraged, supported or directed him. >> as soon as he attacked outside britain's parliament, theresa may was rushed away to security. he stabbed a policeman to death. here is keith palmer, an hour before he

is. >> what do you attribute it to? >> there are a lot of folks out there emboldened by this rhetoric that we've seen on the internet and in other social media sites. today with a click of a finger hatred can reach tens of thousands of people. >> reporter: the suspect's defense attorney claims her client is sick. the suspect suffers from a brain tumor that may have had an effect on his cognitive

>> the president has taken to twitter, criticizing those conservative house republicans in the freedom caucus. >> why do you think an ultimatum will work now? >> because we have a new president in place, trying to deliver the message last night that the republicans are all on the same page. we're all looking for the same thing. we want to take obamacare away. bus rolled at 10:30 after they were clipped by an 18-wheeler. this is the driver's door of the 18-wheeler. >> police have been talking about the size of this investigation. it is huge. there were 1,000 witnesses. back in january, the fbi says investigating hate crimes is a top priority. but teens went to israel to track down the suspect. "time" magazine had an interview with donald trump. when they asked if he thought the false statements had damaged his reputation, he replied, i can't be doing so badly because i'm president and you're not. i told my 2-year-old daughter that he said that and she was like, dude, grow up. i'm charlie rose with anthony mason and alex wagner. norah and gayle are off. house republicans face a critical deadline today to pass their health care plan. president trump said he is ready to move on. and if they fail the gop will be stuck with obamacare. the house is in session right now where the first in a series of votes is taking place this morning. a final vote is expected this afternoon. the house had planned to vote yesterday but republicans failed to line up enough support. last night president trump dispatched white house advisers reince priebus and steve bannon as well as budget director mick mulvaney to the capitol. mulvaney told us why the president is done negotiating. >> the message was you've had seven years to work on this. we've given it a lot of discussion. charlie, more members of congress have been through the white house in the last week than were here the last eight years of the administration. but his point is this. you've had time to work on it. i'm not going to sit around, wait and negotiate every little tiny point over the next weeks and months. this is the day. >> major garret is at the white house. major, good morning. going on behind the scenes right now? >> reporter: it's not unreasonable for house republicans to wonder with whom they cut a deal in this white house, president trump, steve bannon or is it chief of staff reince priebus? that's why both were sent to capitol hill with one message backed up by a former member of congress, mick muchlt lvaney, now the budget director. time to vote is now. it's a huge high-stakes gamble. this administration has decided all these negotiations were essentially circling around the issue, not getting to a moment of decision. that's what the president wants. as a senior official told me today there's a very fine line between being decisive and being impatient. we believe we're being decisive. >> major, how many of these last-minute changes are nonstarters for house moderates? >> reporter: that's a very good question and central to this whole issue of whether or not the speaker of the house, paul ryan, can find the votes necessary to pass this. moderates see this bill constantly moving in the direction of the more hard core conservative tea party-inspired freedom caucus. they don't like that. they are heartening their opposition to this bill because of changes made to take away some of the feldman dates for essential health benefits and provide extra money for the states to do that. they see that moving away from the things they would like to preserve and keep about the affordable care act. that's a central issue for the house republican leadership. until they resolve that, this bill cannot pass. >> major, thank you. cbs news face the nation moderator john dickerson is in washington. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> everything else has fail ed, will this ultimatum work? >> we're going to find out. it's kind of the last tool in the tool kit, which is you always have to be able, in negotiation, to walk away. donald trump has done a lot of negotiations, in talking to people over the course of covering him who have done negotiations and watched him. this is part of what you do. you force it. and, as major said, it's very high stakes. >> if they fail and the ultimatum doesn't work, doesn't everybody lose here on the republican side? >> well, it's not going to be pretty. and the thing to watch if it doesn't happen, if there is failure, to watch the immediate finger pointing. president trump and approximate house speaker paul ryan have to stay in sync to get all the other complicated things they want to get done. there's a little tiny distance in the "new york times" story between the president and paul ryan. the president reportedly saying he wishes he started with tax reform. maybe he wasn't so sure this was the right thing to do at the start f there's distance that creates more opportunities for opposition within republican ranks. if it doesn't pass, you're right, there will be a lot of finger pointing. and the question is how they regain their cohesion because they won't be able to go forward without it. >> to that end, john, "the new york times" report that says president trump regrets pursuing health care repeal first, what does that tell you about his appetite going forward? if this passes, it is not a done deal in the senate and has to be reconciled again in the house. >> that's right. this is a very -- there's a long process going -- to come. and the fixes that were made to get votes in the house will lose votes among some senators who are under different kinds of pressures. what donald trump is learning as a president is that what all presidents learn, which is that it's easier to win an election, choices between a and b, than it is to negotiate a complicated piece of legislation where choices are not between a and b and where people have sticky concerns that are not so easy to fix. and so if there is a victory in the house, there is still much debate and much argument to go -- that goes over to the senate. >> how much power does the house freedom caucus have and are they really ready to buck their president in his first major policy vote? >> well, they look like they're ready. although things are quite fluid. they have a lot of power. they've gotten a lot of meetings and they've gotten a lot of attention. the bill has been moved in their direction. even though everybody knows that it has this next stage to face in the senate and that more conservative it's made in the house, the more problems that potentially creates in the senate. any group that can stick together that is more than 21 has a lot of power. 1 is the number of republican votes that are needed to get this passed in the house. so the freedom conference has got that power because they're sticking together. >> what are the lessons to learn from all this, john? >> well, the lessons are that it's more complicated. these negotiations are a lot more complicated than perhaps the president thought. and, you know, i'm not sure what the lesson is really. we have to see how the final vote goes. if he pulls this out at the end by saying i'm going to walk, then the lesson is be a hard negotiator at the end. so, i'm not sure, charlie. >> well, it may be if -- as someone once said, watching legislation is like watching sausage being made. >> yes. although that should be a lesson they already knew at the beginning. this is a piece of -- it is ugly. and part of the argument that the president and others are making to republicans is that this is what governing looks like and stop wanting the perfect and get behind what's possible. of course, there are a lot of republicans who came to washington saying that's why we came, to not go for just the possible but to go for what we promised voters and that's one of the clashes you've got here. >> john dickerson in washington. thanks, john. >> thanks, charlie. >> john will speak with republican congressman trey gowdy and adam schiff of the house committee plus former secretary of state george shultz sunday on cbs. two more significant arrests were made in london overnight. khalid massoud had a criminal record, was not on the radar for extremist links. officials are now trying to determine if he acted alone. >> crowds in london are gathered in trafalgar square. they came in part to show solidarity and to honor the dead. among the victims was american kirk cochran, police officer along with a british woman were also killed. a fourth victim, 75-year-old leslie rhodes died later in the hospital. >> a man accused of killing his pregnant wife is freed in prison because of questions about his trial. >> i'm richard schlesinger. 48 hours. popular football coach convicted of murder gets a new chance at freedom. he says evidence that will prove his innocence was when would. that's coming a a world war ii torpedo boat is ready for a new role. ahead how more than 200 volunteers lovingly restored the boat the way it looked in 1944. we take you on board. after more than 70 patrol missions during world war ii, this pt boat is back home. i'm omar villafranca. up next, we'll show you the boat's next mission. ♪ ♪ sometimes, the only difference between a moment that fades from memory, and a moment that stays with you forever, is where it happens. that's why we're proud to help families like yours, live a lifetime of memories on beautiful, healthy, lawns. live like it's spring. make life better, with a beautiful, healthy, trugreen lawn. shake up your routine with a completely new way to clean. new colgate total advanced health mouthwash. shake to activate a powerful cleaning action that removes twenty four times more bacteria. improve the health of your mouth with new colgate total advanced health mouthwash. shake to clean. it can seem like triggers pop up everywhere. luckily there's powerful, 24-hour, non-drowsy claritin. it provides relief of symptoms that can be triggered by over 200 different allergens. live claritin clear. a convicted murderer has a new chance at freedom after serving nearly a decade in prison. david temple was a hometown football star and coach in texas. he was imprisoned for the murder of his pregnant wife. a new twist has emerged 18 years after the crime. in a preview of tomorrow's "48 hours" richard schlesinger updates us on the story from last year. >> david temple was convicted of the 1999 murder of his pregnant wife belinda. he spent nine years in prison for the crime. prosecutor kelly siegler, legendary for her dramatic courtroom tactics tried the case in 2007. >> so who is david temple. he's a man who nobody ever said no to. >> her theory was he killed his wife to be with the woman he was having the affair with, heather scott. temple's attorney famous for helping billionaire robert durst get acquitted of murder reminded jurors that in this case there was no hard evidence linking temple to the crime. >> it's true that david had an affair. that doesn't make him a murderer. >> temple has always maintained his innocence. >> and i pray every day that my name for once and all be cleared. >> in 2012, temple's appellate attorneys casey go trow and stanley snyder finally saw the complete police report and they say it contained critical evidence never seen before by the defense. >> on my left is the complete investigative report. this was never seen. this is what was suppressed. >> stuff was hid snoon who hid it in. >> siegler hid it. and she hid it well. >> did you turn over the 1,400 pages of police reports?
