Good to see you. Thanks. Republican leaders are voicing confidence in the future of their Controversial Health care bill. That, after a white house meeting with President Trump, just hours after delaying a planned vote. We have complete coverage beginning at the white house, with nbc National Correspondent peter alexander. Peter, good morning. Reporter hey, hoda. It is back to the drawing board for Senate Republicans who insist they will keep after it even after this embarrassing delay. For the house, that time helped them to pass the bill. But the same may not be the true for the senate, as they get an earful as they head home. The longer this goes, the harder it gets. This morning, after a stunning setback for the Gop Health Care bill, Top Republicans say they arent giving it up for dead. Everybody around the table is interested in getting the yes. Interested in getting an outcome. Reporter President Trump, hosting dozens of gop senators, touting progress and strategy on his effort to push through an obamacare repeal. Were getting close. But for the country, we have to have health care. If we dont get it done, its noi going to be something were not going to like. Reporter later tweeting, i just finished a great meeting with the republican senators concerning health care. They really want to get it right, unlike obamacare. The Senate Majority lead eer pulling a vote. Its a complicate ed subject. Reporter nine gop senators oppose the bill. As the republicans reboot, the challenge doesnt disappear. Finding a bill that satisfies conservatives who complain it didnt go far enough. We promised to repeal obamacare. The current bill looks like were keeping large parts of obamacare. Reporter and those closer to the center. I cannot support a bill thats going to result in tens of millions of people losing their health insurance. Reporter among the opponents, utahs mike lee, echoing a democratic line of attack, highlighting how the first draft of the bill included hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts for affluent. Now, moderate republicans urging their leaders to change course. When did we get to the point when we said, no. Were not going to talk to democrats about a fix. We should be working with our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. Reporter a lot of people think a bipartisan plan is the way to go. Top republicans say theyre goal is to come up with an agreement by the end of this week to be reviewed by the independent budget scorekeeper while lawmakers are away for the forty of july recess, which would set up a vote, if they come up with the votes, when they get back. Peter alexander. Thanks. Amid mounti ining tensions the u. S. , whats being called an act of defiance by the regimes leader. Kristen welker this morning. Reporter good morning to you. The white house is not only warning syria against another chemical weapons attack this morning. Its putting iran and russia on notice, too, they will bear some responsibility if syria does act. This comes as the president s Foreign Policy is coming under fresh scrutiny. Syrian president Bashar Al Assad outside of damascus, touring a Russian Military base. The visit some see as defiant, coming hours after the u. S. Put his regime on notice over a potential chemical weapons plot. Sean spicer telling asad, he will pay a heavy price. The message came as a surprise to some National Security officials, who tell nbc news they were caught off guard by the timing of the statement and the threat of military action, a major step. Some in the defense and state department stress they were aware of the intelligence. Now, the white house is pushing back. Arguing all necessary officials were alerted. Was there a principals meeting, a deputies meeting before that statement was issued by sean spicer . I know there was a routine meeting that took place. Reporter but this isnt the first time President Trump may have kept some of his own team guessing when it comes to Foreign Policy. Big stuff. Reporter one of the president s first actions, his controversial travel ban targeting residents of seven muslim majority nations was announced after limited consultation. Mr. Trump signed off on a raid in yemen, over dinner with a few, key advisers. But the disconnect was on display when saudi arabia announced an embargo against qatar. Trumps secretary of state criticized the move. But the president tweeted his approval and blasted qatar from the rose garden. The nation of qatar has been a funder of terrorism. Reporter the white house is on the same page when it comes to facing the press. After days of refusing to answer questions on camera, this Tense Exchange between a journalest and sara huckaby sanders. News outlets get to go on day after day, and cite unnamed sources, use stories without sources. Were here to ask you questions. Youre here to provide the answers. And what you just did is inflammatory to people all over the country who look and say, see, once again. The president is right and everyone else is fake media. And everyone in this room is trying to do their job. Reporter as for the president s Foreign Policy, a senior says its not accurate hes not with his principals on all key policy issues. And syria, we may learn about that as nikki haley appears on capitol hill at a preplanned hearing. Thank you very much. Lets bring in chuck todd. Chuck, good morning to you. Good morning, matt. The house had a hiccup when it came to their health care bill. They went back to work. Then, they passed that bill. Now, the senate has pulled the vote. Are we seeing deja vu or Something Different . Its different in this case. One advantage the white house had in the house is that the president has some ability to lean on house members. Hes popular in a lot of the house districts. He had an ability, many of them share the same political base. Many felt they had to listen to the white house. The difference here in the senate, is the senators are much more independent actors. The idea of the white house leaning on them actually, you know, almost emboldens them to push back. I would never write off Mitch Mcconnells ability to get anything through the senate. He defied the odds and pulled off the Supreme Court issue he did last year and ended up getting a conservative Supreme Court justice. The guy knows how to maneuver legislatively. If it was anybody else, this morning we would be saying this bill is dead. Only because Mitch Mcconnell is so good at behind the scenes aspects of this, is this thing on life support. A lot of the senators will be going home for the july break. Theyre going to be seeing their constituents. Does this extra time help the passage of the bill. This is not wine. It does not get better over time. This is a bill that gets harder to support over time. This is why Mitch Mcconnell so badly wanted in to be done in a week. You know . A shock and awe sort of legislative strategy. Introduce it on a thursday and vote on it and get out of town. Now, you have the mobilization of opposition groups. Any of the republican senators that decides to have a public event over the fourth of july, theyre probably going to be hounded by protesters. Probably going to be hounded by constituents. I dont think time is on the side of Mitch Mcconnell. They have a week to get this done. Or theyre going to have to admit, they have to work with the democrats. Chuck todd. Thank you very much. You got it, guys. Theres a lot more to get o to, including a lawsuit being filed against the makers of highway guardrails. Theyre supposed to keep you safe. But do they actually pose a deadly safety risk. Heres nbcs catie beck. Reporter tomorrow will be exactly one year since lauren gamble and her friend, jacob davison, were killed when their car plowed into a highway guardrail. Laurens mother remembered seeing her for the last time. I waved and that was it. Last time i saw her alive. Reporter lauren was 21 years old. Just out of college. She was just so wonderful. Reporter as part of their investigation, officials looked at the metal barriers. The guardrail went through the car. Its not supposed to do that. Reporter gamble blames this piece for the deadly outcome. In your mind, do you think there could have been a different result had that guardrail been different . Absolutely, yes. Reporter in 2016, four families last loved ones on tennessee highways in similar crashes. Three are expected to file suit against the guardrail manufacturer, the lindsay corporation. Claiming the guardrail didnt collapse on impact, like the one in this video on the companys website. The failure of that system is piercing through and acting as an impaling system, killing t i occupants of the vehicle. Reporter lindsay defends its guardrail, saying it meets safety standards. And they have no reason to conclude that it is unsafe. Writing a statement that reads, the equipments inability to singly prevent every tragedy does not indicate a flaw or defect. Theres a variety of factors that cricket to the severity of impact. They are monitoring the performance across the country. Gamble says she doesnt want other families to suffer like they have. We want to save other families from this pain. Lauren would want that. She would want a difference in this world. Reporter for today, catie beck. Were learning about what caused a Train Derailment in new york. Dozens of passengers were injured. Service was disrupted for hours. The accident, the latest in a series of problems facing transit officials and frustrating riders. Nbcs Thomas Roberts has the latest on this. Thomas, good morning to you.

Its a nationwide practice. But thats not enough for millions of people that have to commute today that realize this is not a track defect. Chaos, deep underground. A subway train derailing. Sending people to the floor. Smoke, darkness and fear. Up and down, all over the sides. People were flying all over the cars. It was traumatizing. Im really shooken up right now. We have to go this way. Reporter the passenger who took this video, said he thought he was going to die. These photos show the derailment damage. Passengers taking pictures of a door ripped off of the train car. Passengers shuffling out, car by car. Dangerously walking along the tracks. The thing right there is the third rail. In the middle. Reporter until they made it to the platform. Overnight, the mta said, the cause was an improperly secured piece of replacement rail score stored on the tracks. It was human error, not a track defect. Earlier this month, passengers tried to claw their way out of this dark and steamy f train after it was stuck underground after it lost power. For f sake, six the subways.

Five people were hurt in that crash. The warehouse was open at the time. Thankfully, nobody inside there was hurt. Amazing video. Also this morning, a newfound sense of urgency to secure the release of austin tice, an american journalist held captive in syria. It comes amid tension between the u. S. And the assad regime. In a moment, well talk to austins parents exclusively. But first, their sons story. For nearly five years, american journalist austin tice has been held in captivity. The former marine and georgetown law student was spending the summer in syria. Sharing stories of those living through that countrys devastating civil war. But just days after his 31st birthday, austin was taken hostage, aside from this video shown him blin fodfolded, there been no claim of responsibility. U. S. Officials say theyre trying to get specific information about his whereabouts. Recently speaking with the Trump Administration about what can be done. The state department, working on the case at the highest levels. The New York Times reports that earlier this year, the administration set up a back channel with the syrians in an attempt to free tice. But following the u. S. Response to assads chemical attack on civilians back in april, the talks, according to the times, stald. Now, the fate of americans held overseas is taking on new urgency, following the death of otto warmbier, who had been held by north korea, putting other americans detained in the spotlight. Austins parents, deborah and mark tice, are with us exclusively. Thanks for being here. That video want to put that video back up that was released almost five years ago. Thats the only video you have been able to see that anyone has been able to see of your son in captivity. Do you know anything more today about the people that are holding him than you did when that video was released . We dont know who is holding him. We know hes being held captive in syria. And after that video, no one reached out to us to give us any information about what we needed to do next to bring him home. So, were looking for that information, what we need to do to bring him home. No claim of responsibility so you dont know who youre dealing with here . It is one of the trying things because we more than anything else, we like to reach out to whoever is holding austin, so that we can begin whatever kind of dialogue is necessary to bring him home. The u. S. Government says theres reason to believe that austin is alive. Have they shared with you why they believe that . Yes. Can you share anything with us . I know you dont want to do anything that would jeopardize any efforts to bring him home. But can you share anything about why there is that belief . I dont think it would be a good idea for us to share that, matt. Yeah. They do share with us. And we need to keep their confidence so that we can keep working well together as a team. The New York Times, as you know, had an article, i think it was last weekend that talked about the Trump Administration creating a back Channel Communications with the syrians. At the same time this is happening, as you heard us say all morning long, theres also rising tension between the u. S. And syria. How much is that complicating the process, in your opinion . The effort to bring austin home is a humanitarian effort. Its not a political effort. Its not a National Security effort. So, we trust and we believe and we hope that whatever needs to be done will be done on a humanitarian basis. You talk about whatever needs to be done, you both have been working tirelessly to keep this story in front of people. Keep it in the headlines. You lived. You went to damascus and lived there for a while. Can you describe what that was like . What your daytoday existence were yu trying to make contacts . How did that work . Well, in damascus, i did the same thing i do here in the United States capital. I fried to meet with anyone that i could meet with. Raise awareness about my son. Ask anyone for information to reach out to me. I felt completely safe when i was in damascus. Did anyone contact you while you were there once they found out you were there . Did you have anyone trying to share information with you . Unfortunately, matt, no. That didnt happen. Mark, from timetotime, you will hear someone say about austin, he was going to a very dangerous place against the warnings of the u. S. State department. And there are consequences for that. How do you react to people when you hear that . You know, austin is a journalist. And he was going from so that all the rest of us could see the story, hear the story, know what was going on. Just like any american, you know, our government has a responsibility. Theres International Treaties around the requirement of governments to take care of their citizens. We think that anyone else would like the same for their child, their loved one. I mentioned a little in our piece that led to our discussion here about austins background. A member of the u. S. Military. Law school at georgetown. Tell me more about him. What should we know about austin . I think the most important were so proud that hes actually an awardwinning journalist. But to us, hes the oldest son, the big brother. He loves being a big brother. He loves being an uncle. He now, in these past five years, he now has a niece and a nephew that he has not met. Yn you know, an excellent scholar. Intense reader. Whats it been like as parents to not be able to account for his whereabouts for five years . Well, its turned our lives insideout and upsidedown. You know, one of the things that is as difficult as anything else is that it prevents us from giving our other children, who are very tired of being called the other children, the attention they deserve. So, its been a tremendous challenge. Our thoughts are with your family. We thank you for joining us this morning. Mark and deborah, thank you very much. Lets head over to al. All right, guys. Thanks so much. We take a look right now, down in the gulf, from brownsville, texas, all the way to florida, looking at showers and thunderstorms, starting to fire up. Were going to be seeing the strong storms, moisture from the gulf fueling these storms. Looking at downpours that could cause flooding, from new orleans all the way to central florida. This will continue right through tomorrow. And whats going to happen is these are slowmoving storms that keep training over the same areas. So, we look at the heaviest rape, basically, from galveston to new orleans, anywhere from three to five inches of rain. Could also see those kind of amounts back through central florida.

A lot of parents are asking themselves that after a strange incident in florida. A man was beaten up after he tried to help a little girl he believed was lost. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is in lakeland with the story. Reporter good morning. Police say what happened at this ballpark was a complete misunderstanding. The parents of a 2yearold little girl they say lost track of her for, they say, 30 seconds. They looked up and they saw over there, a man holding the child about 100 yards away, walking away. Now, that man, who may have been a Good Samaritan, says that he was asking the little girl, is this your parent . Is this your parent . But the parents of the child say they saw something completely different. Ran over. The father started beating on the man. And then, someone posted that mans picture on the internet, telling other parents to be on the lookout. A day at the park turned into somewhat of a nightmare for a florida family, when they thought a stranger was trying to abduct their little girl. You know, i thought he was taking my kids. Reporter the childs father, speaking to us by phone. I wanted to kill the man. Reporter according to a police report, this man approached a little girl he thought was lost at a softball game on lakeland, florida, on saturday. I sat down and constantly asked the question, where is your daddy . Wheres your parents . Wheres your mom . Reporter the girls parents say all they saw was a stranger walking towards this parking lot with their daughter. The mother, on the phone, with 911. We took off running, grabbed my kid from him. And then, i hit him. Im not going to lie. I hit him. Reporter when the childs father and some friends caught up to the man, he admits they punched him. Probably about five or six times. They start hitting me from behind. I fell to the ground. And they constantly started hitting me. Reporter reading from a statement, the girls mother, who did not want to be shown on camera, says it was the scariest experience of her life. How would you react to a stranger carrying your child away from a population of people . Reporter police say it was a misunderstanding. Theres an independent witness that saw it, didnt knower theknow either couple. They saw him looking for an adult. Reporter no charges were filed against the parents. And police verified patel was at the park with friends. But the story does not end there. After the incident, a witness posted patels name, photo and place of employment online, calling him a child predator. My whole life is tragic now. And everybody is looking at me funny. And my respect is engaged because nobody will trust me. My life is tarnished. Reporter mr. Patel says that he has now had to leave town for his own safety and for his childrens safety here. He is nursing some wounds. But told police he did not want to present any kind of charges against the people who beat him up. Guys, back to you. What a complicated and bizarre story. Kerry, thank you. I guess he could have stayed right in the park with the little girl and gotten on his phone and tried to call police or something. It was that seeing him walk away with that child.

Nice to have you here. Nice to be here. Everybody stick around. All this week, we have been examining marriage in our series to have and to hold today. Thats right. According to the census bureau, june is the most popular month for weddings. And this morning, Jenna Bush Hager introduces us to a woman who decided to search the world over to start her marriage on the right foot. As a newlywed, joe piazza, in hopes of learning about marriage, set off with her husband on a mission. Traveling to 20 countries on 5 continents. Interviewing hundreds of people on the secrets of successful relationships. Compiling their findings in her new book, how to be married. When the french women say, be your husbands mistress, what they mean is, retain a little bit of the mystery and the fun that you had when you were still dating. In israel, the women there taught me about the importance of selfcare. About taking care of yourself before you try to take care of another person. And really being good to yourself in a marriage. So, the danes, and Northern Europe in general, theyre really great at prioritizing your marriage, as much as you prioritize your career. They told me was, when youre having dinner with your husband, put your phone away. And this advice has stuck with me throughout the first year of our marriage. And if i learned anything, especially spending time with the tribes in kenya and tanza a tanzania, is that marriage takes a village. It takes people to support you. It takes family. It takes friends. Your husband cant be your everything. One of the most important things to have a happy marriage is to stay your own person. To stay a little bit independent to have your own interests, your own hobbies. And the women in chile told me to travel without your spouse. In mexico, we visited a spiritual guru marriage counselor, who taught us the importance of communication and not just talking to the other person, but listening. And really listening to your spouse, a lot of times i think gets lost after the wedding. In india, i learned the importance of gratitude. Real gratitude. Not just saying a fake thank you. But expressi ining gratitude tor spouse. Here in the states, in maine, we actually did a wife carrying race together, where we learned how to take two independent people and bring them together. As a team. Come here. Reporter now, 1 1 2 years into marriage and expecting their first child with her husband, nick, whats the best piece of advice shes learned . When it comes to how to be married, theres no one magic bullet. I was thinking that someone had figured out the secret to a happy marriage. The biggest thing is having good communication and talking before things start to get weird and difficult and strange. And i dont think we talk enough about how to actually be married. We talk way too much about how to have the perfect wedding. True. How long have you been married . Seven years. Whats the best piece of advice you received . It does take a village. Like, lean on your family and community. And support each other. When we met, vanessa had a job. I was a broke substitute teacher. We supported each other. I was the breadwinner when she was in law school. Youre going to go for upswings and downswings. Someone told me laugh, and when youre done laughing, laugh some more. You dont always have to be right. Just let it go. Lin, were so happy youre here with us today. This challenge has been incredible in terms of raising money for immigrant groups that are really working hard right now. Thanks for having me on. Love having you here.

Nice talking to you, everybody. Any questions, ask. Were going to go stepbystep. Theyre going to follow along. Is this easy or hard . This is easy. You just need fingers. Were going to start with flour. Some salt. You guys doing it . And some sugar. Were going to stir it up a little. All dry ingredients first. Then, were going to toss in the butter like a butter salad. Does cubing it make it equal to mix . You want them to be large cubes. When you do the smushing, pretend you have lobster claws. You want to get all of the pieces nice and flat. Once you get them nice and flat, you will add some lemon juice to ice water. Take the ice out. You want it to be nice and cold. Pretend this is flat. Were going to mix it up. Once it is mixed, it will look kind of awful before you roll it out. It is not going to look like a great dough. You roll it out. And you should see nice chunks of butter in the dough. This is 12 inches by 16 inches. And were going to do a letter fold. Some people dont know how to fold a business letter. Kids.

I call it jazz hands. Then, you want to roll it out. This is a square. You can do it. One of the things about rolling out dough, you want to keep moving it so it doesnt stick. And you dont role over. You dont role over the edge of the dough. That makes it flat. Once you get it to the size you want it, youre going to put it in the pie plate. Tin. Whatever youre using. Youre going to dock it. Youre going to make holes in the bottom. This keeps it from rising up on the bottom. And you put parchment. Explain this. These are pie weights. Not a good thing. And what the that does is it weighs it down so it doesnt puff up in the middle. And you take them out before you fill it. You bake that. Make the fill ing for me. Im here with the 27yearold twins i love these guys. Theyre having trouble with the rolling. But theyre getting the hang on it. Little extra flour on the rolling pin. Breathe. Back to our filling. This is sugar, instant tapioca, and nutmeg, you can leave out. Red raspberrraspberries. Were making a flag. Im putting two tablespoons to this one, the blueberries. A little more. And you just want these coated. Its best to let this sit with the tapioca for about ten minutes. Who are you with now . Whats your name . Lindsay. Are you getting the hang of this . Were following along. This is pretty easy, i got to say. Heres the baked kru ed crus. A little brown. Youre going to add the red first. Add the red.

But to help others, they first had to protect themselves. I have afib. Even for a nurse, its complicated. And it puts me at higher risk of stroke. That would be devastating. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. Once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. Xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Oncedaily xarelto®, a latestgeneration blood thinner. Significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Xarelto® works differently. Warfarin interferes with at least 6 bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. For afib patients wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If youve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. And before starting xarelto®about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Its important to learn all you can. To help protect yourself from a stroke. Talk to your doctor about xarelto®. Theres more to know™. Did any bag of dog or buy cat food at petsmart we give a meal to a pet in need .
