Playing the 100 day benchmark, but at the same time makg a new promise. Well beavin big announcement on wednesday having do with tax reform. Jumpstarting talk of tax cuts and another swing at a health care plant. What does he hope he gets accomplished by day 100. And new word today from one of the central figures in the fbi russia tampering investigation. What is the latest word from him. Plus ill talk with the man who put a scar in a deep red state district. Democrat john off n ossoff on w he has chance to win and what Bernie Sanders said about him. We begin with hundreds of marches marking ertz darth day. Their goal, to support Scientific Research and development. And the usz isn. S. Isnt missin. We have reporters at the events in washington and new york. First lets go to the National Mall in d. C. Tell us what youre seeing and what activists are saying today. I see its raining and it hasnt stopped the crowd. Reporter hi here in a very wet washington, but there are definitely thousands of people still here. And to give you a sense of the vibe here, ooifits definitely celebration, a lot of people celebratiing science, tents wit astrophysics and chemistry lessons. But on the political end, weve heard mentions from the stage behind me about alternative facts obviously referencing Kellyanne Conways note of alternative facts a few months ago. And of course the idea that the administration is defunding things like the National Institutes of health, cdc, things like that that promote research and disease control, that is definitely front of mind here for a lot of the protest protesters. But i want you to give a listen to folks that i talked to, sandy and gene. Take a listen to what they had to say this morning. Science is the future for children. They love it, actually having taught fifth grade, that is the age when they are inspired to choose something to do in their futures. And science is so important at that age level. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and saw our environment and what was happening. And have seen the improvements and just wanted to be here to make sure that we can continue those improvements. Reporter so that is a little bit of the sense that you have here. People are out here for a love of science and because of what they are seeing in the Trump Administration. You can hear the crowd getting excited. Ill pitch it back to you. Well continue to check in with you overs next couple hours. Now to politics and new reaction from former trump adviser carter page. He appeared on cnn this morning to push back on the reporting that he was one of the advisers russian operatives tried to use to infill freight the trump campaign. Nothing i was ever asked for do or no information that i was ever asked for was anything beyond what you could see on cnn. Nothing i ever talked about with any russian official extends beyond that publicly available immaterial information. Meanwhile President Trump today ramping up one of his America First promises, days after signing the socalled buy american hire american executive order. No longer will the concerns of these hard working americans go unanswered. By making government answer to ourcitizens, we are removing the limits on our future and setting free the dreams of our people. Also new reaction from President Trump on the eve of the president ial election in france, telling the Associated Press that thursdays terrorist attack in paris will probably help far right candidate Marine Le Pen win because shes the candidate who is, quote, strongest on borders. But President Trump stopped short of a formal endorsement. Also new day a warning for north korea. Mike pence is in australia wrapping up his overseas trip where he made these remarks this morning. The President Trump and i have great confidence that china will properly deal with korea. But as President Trump made clear just a few shorts days ago, if china is unable to deal with north korea, the United States and our allies will. Meanwhile fwhak back in washington President Trump doesnt seem too worried about the looming 100 day milestone. Heres what he told roerlt repn friday. Health care and taxes . It will happen. Well see what happens. No particular rush, but well see what happens. Didnt matter if its next week. Next week didnt matter. Kelly, this tone is something of a departure for the president. Do you think hes feeling the pressure to prove his accomplishments so far . I think its a case where there is both reality and a little bit of down playing expectations. I think inside the white house they understand that some of the items on the todo list which they would like to accomplish before the 100 day mark are probably out of reach simply because of the mechanisms of twriing to get another shot at repeal and replace for obamacare or just beginning the tax reform ideas. Its just not reasonable to expect they can get a lot of that done in just the few days we have. So part of it is the reality and part is down playing expectations. I think that you will find the white house will use the 100 day marker, which is sort of a tradition, it is arbitrary, it is a time that we have always judged president s by. And in many cases there is a honeymoon for president s where they have a period of time where congress is working with them, they are able to act on some initial priorities. And for the trump white house, fwhaec they have been able to do that through executive orders and policy ideas and some of the way the president had interacted on the world stage. But not in legislation. So they are trying to make it work on the repeal, they believe that still is important. And a Campaign Promise to be fulfilled. But how quickly it could happen and there are still the ongoing differences among house on republicans. So there are real hurdles ahead. But they are trying to move forward on it, trying to make a break through if they can. Talk more about what you were pretty much alluding to, the talk that the Health Care Bill could be released as early today. Any indications it has more support than the previous go round . What im hearing from sources is that there have been some adjustments made to the legislation. And that will continue to happen. And that is intended to try to answer concerns from members who have particular worries, but you have to balance the most conservative known as the Freedom Caucus without losing too much of the moderates, the tuesday group. So there has been a bit of a partnership between the heads of those two small groups within the republican conference. And they are trying to make head way there. Is it enough . Some sources say the issue of fatigue over dealing with it, not wanting to be a ongoing question left unfulfilled may be enough to get some members to move forward knowing there would be further changes when it goes to the senate. So some of it is substantive, some of it is simply trying to get something going and we expect that there are other priorities that the president wants to move on like tax reform and the math of washington, it would be helpful to do health care before tax reform because there are taxes in the obama care law that would be adjusted. So washington math makes going to Health Care First perhaps better in the long run. Well see how it plays out. Nothing will be easy. That is for sure. The one thing we can count on. Kelly odonnell, thank you. On the other side of the aisle, senator Bernie Sanders is out with a new statement on georgia congressional candidate jon ossoff after being criticized for saying hes not a progressive. He says i applaud the grass roots activism. His victory would be an important step forward in nig fighting back. And joining me now is jon ossoff who is heading to a Runoff Election against karen handel after landing 48 of the vote on tuesday. We also invited karen handel to join us, but didnt receive a response. Good afternoon to you. Good afternoon. Thanks for having me. What is your response to senator sanders . I think hes exactly right about the Grass Roots Energy and activism around the campaign. This is an strard extraordinary to be a part of, with so many thousands getting involved. Well keep growing the money men du momentum. Would you call yourself a progressive . I really have no interest in ideological lafbels. Im happy to talk you through the issues. My commitment to a right to choose, my commitment to the Lgbt Community and to figt climate change, to a tough Foreign Policy that takes to our enemies without getting us bogged down in foreign land wars. Ill leave to commentators to decide what label if its me best. So all of this comes as sanders and perez aiming to unite Democratic Party. Who do you see as the leader of the Democratic Party right now . Right now its the grass roots organizers and activistsc organizing to win elections. If you had asked anyone six weeks ago whether a democratic candidate in a district that hasnt been competitive in decades that could pup ultimate o up our number, they would be skeptical. Reason we notched the win is because of the folks getting involved for the first time. Let me ask you about the president s reaction to the outcome of the election. He called it a big r win and said he was glad to be able to help. Of course he participated in a robo call and he called for voters not to let you win. Bounk do you think he stopped you winning outright . I think voters are not interested in what political figures think and more interested in what the candidates can deliver. To cut wasteful spending, to groel our high tech biotech medical research sector, create more jobs, pursue Higher Standards of living. Thats what im focused on, not the National Political circus. You say that and tell me if this is right, 8. 3 million of your money was from outside of the state. There are so many people paying attention to this race. How do you respond to that . I know there has been some criticism about that. Well, many more georgians have contributed to my campaign than my opponents. And im proud that its powed by small dollar fundraising. Average contribution is less than 50. And when you have unaccountable special interested funded super pacs attacking candidate like me with millions of attack ads, you need those resources to defend yourself. Im glad its been powered by small dollar fundraising. But im accountable to people who have much more in common with the voters across my district than special interests. And i know youve received criticism over the fact that you dont live in the district youre running in. Do you have any regrets about that or any plans to move . I grew up in this district. I grew up in this community. My family is here in this district. Im about ten minutes down the street to support my girlfriend while she concludes medical school. She has to walk to work for 4 00 a. M. Shifts. I dont think be its a major issue. The question is does the candidate have the deep roots and connections to the district and i do. Let me play a clip, sean spicer was asked about whether President Trump would be heading to georgia to get out the vote for your opponent. Lets take a listen. I dont know. If needed. I think the president will make sure that he does everything he can to maintain majorities and further the party, but well see if were needed. If President Trump comes to georgia, would you consider bringing out maybe some people on your end . I know there have been celeb briltities who endorsed you. Samuel jackson did a radio ad for you, chelsea handler, debra messing, so many publicly pish position f push foug. Would you turn up the volume on your end . I appreciate everyones interest. But this really comes down to who can present a compelling vision for the Economic Development of metro atlanta. We have the Busiest Airport in the world in the area. We have a deep water port. Bright young workforce ready to grow productivity and wages. Its about pocket book issues for families, not which big name personalities from washington or elsewhere are coming through to campaign. I guess the last question here, put it in perspective, you started out in a crowded contest, now down to two. You know your opponent now. In the weeks ahead, does it change your strategy moving forward or what do you do now to try to seal the win . The contrast here is pretty clear. And with august due respect to my opponent, this is going to come down to a choice between fresh energetic leeadership tha can deliver real results for our local economy here in georgia, or a career politician who again with all due respect to karen handel has run perennially for office and rarely elected because she doesnt present that kind of compelling advice for the future. Jon ossoff, i have to leave it there. Thank you. Still ahead, how a few words written in a letter to the new york city mayor and police chief have them upset with the justice department.

But House Republicans are also looking to make another run at health care. In fact they will hold a Conference Call today likely to focus on change cans to the obamacare replacement deal. Joining me now, molly hooper and jeremy peters. Lets dig in. Molly, is this Health Care Reboot an attempt to help President Trump achieve a major legislative accomplishment in his first 100 dies . The interesting thing is that it wont be accomplished within the first 100 days even if the house does pass something next week. That doesnt mean the senate will pass it, that didnt mean the entire congress will send him a bill to sign. So its unclear to me what is going on within the republican conference because what is going to happen next week is the government will shut down inside congressional leaders come to an agreement on Government Spending and that it seems like could pose a lot of problems for the party. So well see. Jeremy, with the president promising a big announcement on tax reform, is there enough time for action on tax cuts in the next 7 days . It does sound like they are biting off a lot more than they can chew. I dont think this that they expect to get all of this done, the government funding resolution, health care are repeal and tax cuts. I dont think anyone in the white house is saying that. I think what they are trying to do though is project a sense of urgency. And the clock symbolic clock at least is ticking. You get up to this 100 day deadlinend President Trump, if hes nothing else, he is very much aware and cognizant of symbols and how things appear. So he wants to be able to claim some victories Going Forward, and i think at this point you dont hear him saying yes, we will get this absolutely done by the 100 day deadline on health care or tax reform. But they are stacking the deck to make sure that we have an active spring and summer. And molly, trumps announcement on tax reform came just hours after lhis treasury secretary told reporters he couldnt say how soon a proposal would come. If we get to the root of it, what is it going on here . I do think its what jeremy was alluding to and it is setting up another couple of sleepless months for the folks on capitol hill which is sort of interesting because usually not as much gets done so being a definitely. A lot of people with bags under the eyes. But i think the white house was clarifying that what well see next week is probably something more along the lines of broad principles and an outline. I had talked to lawmakers on capitol hill who are saying that it would be feasible or plausible to see something in terms of tax reform in may. So that time line isnt so off. Its just a matter of whether congress will be able to pass something by the august recess which is really the date that they were shooting for. Keep in mind the government funding sue this week is a big deal and because President Trump has not had a lot of legislative successes, hes going to try to add items like the border wall funding and
