For millions hangs in the balance this morning with a july 4th deadline looming. A vote on Senate Health care overhaul is in question. At the same time the Congressional Budget Office is expected early this week, which will detail how it Impacts Health Care enrollment and the nations finances. The white house was in sell mode over the weekend. The Vice President tweeting before summer is out, well repeal and replace obama care with a system based on personal responsibility, free market competition, and statebased reform. While in an interview with fox, the president reflected on the challenge of passing an overhaul republicans have promised for years. Health care is a very complicated subject from the standpoint that you move it this way and this group doesnt like it, you move it a little bit over here, and a very narrow path. Honestly, you know, nobody can be totally happy. Even without the votes. Forget about votes. This has nothing to do with votes. This has to do with picking a plan that everybody is going to like. I would like to say love, but like. We have a very good plan. We have a few people that are i think you could say modestly. Theyre not standing on the roof. Are republican senators doing enough to get that Health Care Bill through . I think so. You know, i have great relationships with most of the people in the senate with, as you know, most of the people in the house. I think i really work very hard. I made a lot of great friendships with the people in the house. A lot of them. Same thing in the senate. There are four very good people. Theyre friends of mine. I dont think theyre that far off. You know, famous last words, right . The president reflected on the tension between him and his predecessor as he tries to strip out parts of president obamas namesake health care law. How frustrating is it to have former president obama out there leading the resistance . I think i dont think he is leading it. He put out a small statement. I dont see that leading it. Other people are leading. Some people might say the lever of anger is unprecedented, but also unprecedented for a former president to come out on facebook. Recently he said your bill, mr. President , not a Health Care Bill. Its a massive transfer of wealth. Its going to harm americans. Its mean. What do you say to the former president . He actually used my term, mean. That was my term. I want to see i want to see i speak from the heart. Thats what i want to see. I want to see a bill with heart. The bills future is uncertain in the senate with five republican defections already so far. Senator Bernie Sanders, he spent the weekend denouncing the bill during a series of rallies. The dont take our Health Care Tour made stops in ohio, pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Im sorry to say he wasnt telling the truth. At a time when so many people are hurting, this legislation will cause devastating pain to millions of american families. The truth is that this socalled Health Care Bill is nothing more than a massive transfer of wealth from working families to the very, very rich. We also have on Twitter Former president ial candidate Hillary Clinton that said, if republicans pass this bill, they are the death party. Senator sanders posted thousands of people will die if the republican Health Care Bill becomes law. Republican senator orrin hatch retweeted sanders, adding the brief time when we were not accusing those we disagree with of murder was nice while it lasted. Joining us from washington is politicos Daniel Lipman, coauthor of the political playbook. Thanks for joining us. You have five republican senators in opposition, and a group actually tied to the president is hitting back at one of them. Dean heller of nevada. Talk to us about that. How effective is the strategy going to be. What do they have planned . Theyre going to spend 1 million in both digital ads and tv ads starting this week. Theyre saying he is violating the promise to revote the obama care law. A lot of people think in the Republican Party believe that this will backfire on that protrump group because mcconnell advisors say if you really are shooting at people in your base, youre trying to undermine fellow republican senators. That doesnt do the party any good for 2018. The opposition is not just kind of from centrist or moderate republicans. Its also come from some within the right of the Republican Party. In fact, senator ron johnson of wisconsin had an op ed in the New York Times in which he writes the bills defenders will say it repeels obama cares, taxes, reduces it leaves in place the preexisting condition rules that drive up the cost of insurance for everyone. It seems like every day the opposition to bill from republicans has grown. There seems to be very few paths for this bill to get passed by that july 4th recess. When you see your own conservative republican senators write op eds in the New York Times, that is not a good sign for this the bills chances. Because its very hard to thread the needle in terms of winning over people like ron johnson who wants the bill to be more conservative, to medicaid more and moderate republicans who if the bill gets more draconian, then they will never get on board, and you will lose more moderate republicans. And the republicans have kind of put themselves in a box because they want this voted on hopefully by july 4th weekend. Well see how that plays out. Thank you. President trump has acknowledged russian meddling in the 2016 u. S. Election. It comes in responding to a Washington Post report on the Obama Administrations fivemonth debate over how they should respond to the meddling. In fact, the post reported that president obama deliberated options, and thats everything from Cyber Attacks on russian infrastructure, the release of intelligence that might embarrass vladimir putin, and sanctions that officials said could crater the russian economy. In the end the president settled with a package of modest punishments on december 29th. On friday President Trump tweeted just out. The Obama Administration knew far in advance of november 8th about election meddling by russia. Did nothing about it. Then writing in all capital letters, why . Then he wrote, since the Obama Administration was told well before the 2016 election that the russians were meddling, why no action . Focus on them, not t. I just heard today for the first time that obama knew about russia a long time before the election, and he did nothing about it. Nobody wants to talk about that. The cia gave him information on russia a long time before they even, you know before the election, and i hardly see it. Its an amazing thing to me. In other words, the question is if he had the information, why didnt he do something about it . He should have done something about it. But you dont read that. Its quite sad. But President Trump has repeatedly denied russias role in the 2016 election, disparaging the efforts to punish russia. Last year nbc news reported that President Trump received his first intelligence briefing on august 17th about russias efforts to interfere in the election, but continued to doubt their findings even after the Intelligence Community went public on october 7th. Take a listen. I dont think anybody knows it was russia that broke into the dnc. Shes saying russia, russia, russia, but i dont maybe it was. It could be russia, but it could also be china. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds. Okay . Any time anything wrong happens, they like to say the russians. She doesnt know if its the russians doing the hacking. Maybe there is no hacking. Hacking is very interesting. Once they hack, if you dont catch them in the act, youre not going to catch them. They have no idea if its russia or china or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. Personally, it could be russia. I dont really think it is, but who knows . I dont know either. Theyent do know, and i dont know. I think we have to get on with our lives. I think computers have complicated lives very greatly. I think the age of computer has made is where nobody knows exactly whats going on. Trump, again, called for the country to move on after the Obama Administration announced its res profit measures against the russian government on december 29th, and when russian president sclad mere putin announced he would not react until after obama left office, trump tweeted great move on delay by vputin. I always knew he was very smart. Later, the Washington Post reported that Incoming National security advisor Michael Flynn had discussed sanctions with russias ambassador, and yahoo news record trumps early efforts to ease sanctions imposed by the Obama Administration. And just on thursday the New York Times reported that the Trump Administration was working to water down new sanctions on russia that passed the Senate Earlier this month on a 972 vote. Its a question that is often asked brsh are the president s tweets official records. The white house used tweets as an official statement in a response to i request from congress. Bipartisan leaders of the house russia investigation had asked the white house to provide any materials relating to recordings of conversations with fired fbi director james comey. A prospect raised by trumps tweet last month that comey had better hope there were no tapes of conversations. Well, one day before the deadline to respond, the president posted on twitter that he did not make any recordings, but republican congressman mike conway said tweets were not a sufficient response. The white house put the tweets in a letter calling it the president s statement regarding the matter. The president has left open the possibility that another party might have recorded the conversation, but the white house would not say whether they are looking into that matter. Has the president asked the intelligence agencies if he if they have any tapes of his conversations . Does he know if they have that . Does he have any evidence to back up that suggestion that he put out in the tweet . Im not going to comment on his conversations of his Intelligence Community. Moving overseas to pakistan, officials there are trying to identify the scores of People Killed sunday morning when an overturned oil tanker exploded as crowds rushed to the scene to collect the leaking fuel. Local villagers in the Eastern Region of punjab were using buckets and shopping bags to scoop up the Available Oil after the tanker truck blew a tire and flipped over. 45 minutes later the vehicle burst into flames engulfing the growing crowd nearby. Witnesses there account witness accounts put the crowd numbers in the hundreds before the explosion. Officials say many of the victims, including at least 20 children, they were burned beyond recognition. The exact cause leading to the fuel tanker explosion is still being investigated. Over to columbia, authorities there saying at least six people have died, and 31 are still missing after a tourist boat capsized there on sunday. Dramatic video captured the tourist boat sinking in minutes as a large group of people gathered on the roof of other boats rushing in and surrounding a larger vessel. Rescuing 133 people on board.

He spoke about the relationship with the president while pushing back on reports that say trump is disinterested in intelligence briefings. Im with the president nearly every day. We have 35 or 40 minutes on his schedule and it almost always runs long. Great questions. He is a serious consumer of the product that the Intelligence Community delivers, and i appreciate that. President obama consumed his intelligence in a different way. President trump is incredibly demanding of the Intelligence Community and asks us incredibly difficult questions and then counts on myself and other leaders in the ic to deliver those answers for him. The worship of Edward Snowden and those who steal american secrets for the purpose of selfagrandizment or money or for whatever the motivation may be. It does seem to be i would say all of President Trumps government is incredibly focused on both stopping leaks of any kind from any agency and when they happen, pursuing them with incredible vigor. I think well have some successes both on the turn side that is stopping them from happening as well as on punishing those who we catch who have done it. The white house released a statement from the president , which sent warm greetings to muslims as they celebrate eid al fitr. Now to that fire we were talking about.
