better. this will be great health care. >> if it passes you're in trouble. if it doesn't pass you're in trouble. >> we want to keep the government open. don't you agree? >> in case there was any doubt that we are very much behind the president. >> days before the presidential election, a terrorist in paris. >> the attacker was a french national who was known to authorities. >> we have to be strong, and we have to be vigilant. this is new day with chris comeau and alison cam rat toe. >> good morning. welcome to "new day." and it is a race against the clock for president trump, desperate for a legislative victory. is there any proof that there could be a vote by the house, let alone the senate on health care. >> and do they need a health

care plan in order to beat the more urgent deadline and that is to pass a bill to keep the federal government from shutting down. day 92 of the trump presidency. so let's talk to joe john at the white house. >> reporter: it is clear they are trying to salvage a legislative victory for the president before the clock runs out on the first 100 days. the president makes clear he thinks 100 days is a ridiculous standard. still the initial reaction to this apparent attempt at a do-over on health care is being met with skepticism, especially given the experience the last time around. >> we have the chance of getting it soon. i'd like to say next week. >> reporter: president trump pushing hard for a legislative win before his 100th day in his office next, reviving his health care effort that failed. >> the plan gets better and better and better and it's

gotten really good and a lot of people are liking it a lot. >> reporter: a lot of people want to help the president deliver on one of his key campaign promises. >> you can put lipstick on a sow and call her monique, but she's still a pig. >> it would allow states to seek waivers from many of these mandates if they show it would be in the public interest. concessions aimed at play cats both moderates and conservatives. >> it is difficult to do. we're very close and basically make good on the promises that before made. >> this effort comes tat same time congress faces a deadline next week to pass a massive spending bill to avert a government shut down. >> okay. i want to get both. are you shocked to hear that?

i think we want to keep the government open. don't you agree? yeah. so i think we'll get both. >> president trump asking congress to incorporate $1.4 billion to incorporate his wall. the washington post reporting that the trump administration was instrumental in securing the release of an egyptian american aid worker, along with her husband and several other humanitarian workers. the news comes after trump publically embraced egypt's president at the white house, despite the authoritarian leaders history of abuses. >> he has done a fantastic job in a very difficult situation. >> that freed american was described by administration officials as one of the highest priorities for the white house and the president just last month. and they worked behind the

scenes to secure her release. the president is expected to stay in town this weekend to work toward the end of the first 100 days. >> no matter what your politics, you got to like that outcome, she's home with her family after years of captivity in egypt. let's discuss with david gregory and april ryan and chris so lisa. ladies first. april, this notion they could get this done by next week when they couldn't get it done in 90 days, what is the reality? >> the reality is that this president is dealing with his own party that's fighting for the core of his party. and you have -- you have the conservatives who are saying i'm not necessarily sure about this because of, you know, what it happened in the past in scoring and then you have the other faction that is saying, oh, he

could get this done. but this is a fight for the party. and we'll see who wins. and the question is when will this happen because even the president himself is speculating when this could happen because we don't believe it is going to happen before the 100 days. >> okay. because april the president is quite foolish. he sounds unthenthusiastic and sounds like its close. is this a tactic? because if it fails it feels like a bigger loss than if he had never said that it was about to happen. >>, i mean, look, i think i always return to what is donald trump's background? his background is a businessman, salesman, deal maker, brand expert. what he's trying to do here is fake it until you make it. you know, say in public that the deal is very good and lots of people really like it in hopes that when people look at it, they'll say, well, other people

like it and it still seems really good. you know, not very many people have seen this deal. i would point to the really good reporting being done by cnn on this which would suggest, yes, the freedom caucus and tuesday group are talking. yes, there is some agreement tere. no, the broader republican congress has not seen this bill. and i just think the idea that you're going to let them see it today or over the week and by next week to meet an artificial deadline that the president said doesn't mean anything this morning that that's all going to happen as house republicans put what could be their career on the line if you vote for something, it doesn't work, the senate doesn't pass it, i'm very skeptical that that's going to happen. >> all right. so david, two takes on tactics. one, personal tactic of trump. this is an intelligent man who hates the perception of losing, so why would he put himself in this position?

secondly, do you put any stock in the notion they may connect the health care reform to the shut down bill so if you want to keep the government open, you have to give me this? >> yeah. i think they are trying that in terms of threat that he made about withholding subsidy payments that he'll deal on that. the white house will deal on that if they keep the government open. so i think that's possible. but i think, you know, we're not talking a lot about the substance of what's being proposed as an ultimate alternative and that part is confusing to me about how you ultimately keep the insurance premiums manageable and how you keep the insurance market functional, especially if there is talk about allowing waivers to cover people with pre-existing conditions. so there is a lot of peril there just on the substance. i think the point you referen referenced, this is very risky and trump is certainly not

risking it first. the idea of going down this road because they recognize they have to get something done on health care if they could get on to tax reform because of how of all of this is scored because of the budget, it comes up short again, it is really difficult for them politically. you already are seeing members of congress starting to hedge because the president is so unpopular. and then you get the results from the special election this week. there is only more of that to come. you have got a white house that's feeling i think a lot of heat right now to get big, legislative accomplishment. i always talk about the markets, too. the market was up yesterday. but there is less enthusiasm about how the economy is going to perform going forward because there is less enthusiasm that trump can make good on getting the agenda through. >> he also wants to make good on

the border wall and in this spending bill mr. trump is asking for $1.4 billion to build that wall. what happened to mexico paying for the wall? i know people laugh when i ask this question and they think it is a set up. it is not. has anyone on capitol hill explained what happened to that plan? >> well, this piece is really common sense. it doesn't take any news analyzing for this one. you cannot tell another country what they are going to do. just, i mean, even when you are running for president. and just with that alone, that raised the hair on the back of heads of many mexican officials and they clearly said we are not paying for this wall. now this country has to deal with this wall issue. going back to fiscal conservatives, they are angry about the fact of the price of this wall and what it could do. when you think about immigration, and this is a key piece, too, when you think about immigration or what the president is trying to do, he's

trying to build a 2,0 0 mile stretch on the u.s./mexico border but immigration is not just about the southern border. it is about a large piece in this country, a lot of people overstaying their visas, so you have a lot of even tanglements when it comes to building this wall. and the expense is so high when you are talking about cutting so much in domestic spending. so it is a lot of entanglements when you talk about building this wall. >> that's just a fraction of the payments. that's just the first installment he's asking for. the president says you're not fair to him. he just got this young woman out of egypt, met with allsisy, got it done. obama couldn't and he's not getting enough credit. do you agree? >> yes. i mean, look, it happened last night, so i'm not sure he's been

offering a full media break down of how much credit he's getting. i would say he deserves credit here. look, donald trump ran, the fundamental heart of his campaign was i know how to get things done that people in washington cannot do. yes, my tactics may be unorthodox at times, yes, they may make you uncomfortable at times, but i will get things done. everything we have just talked about, health care, building the wall, the travel ban, those are things he hasn't been able to get done. this is something in which he did use his powers of diplomacy or whatever he did to make something happen. and i think we in the media to have be careful not to be reflectir negative about donald trump. he said i will make things happen that these other

politicians can't. this is a situation in which he made good on that concept. that is why he was elected. that is why people chose him over a more traditional politician like hillary clinton. >> but he's also situational. he is transactional. he's highly pragmatic. that is emerging as the kind of trump doctrine and i think it's also playing out in ways when you look at the relationship with china and north korea. he talked yesterday about how warm he feels toward president xi, that he's developing a personal relationship. the three of us have seen that before, namely putin and president bush. but there is a kind of pragmatism that is becoming a hall hallmark. >> i don't want to gloss over this too quickly about what's happened this morning. this is a 30-year-old charity worker wrongly in prison for three years.

she and her husband, they're american, and she is coming -- she's home, coming home or en route home this morning not just because of president trump maybe saying something nice. they worked on this for weeks behind the scenes and did real diplomacy and the obama administration wasn't able to get it done. i think we need to taut that success pretty loudly. >> this is the winning picture for this president. this is a major accomplishment for him, particularly when another president could not do it, particularly the one he really has in his line of sight more so than any other president. but this is a win. and as americans, the american people love to see when something is wrong or someone is held hostage or something has happened, they want their people home. and this is one of those pieces, i think back to ronald reagan when jimmy carter couldn't get the hostages home. this is a win for this

president. but at the same time, he's still dealing with other international issues that people are still on the fence about. >> for sure. panel, thank you very much. have a great weekend. we do have some breaking news right now. the investigation sbenfying in france after isis claims responsibility for an attack. could this attack have a big effect on france's presidential race this weekend? we are live in paris with more. what's the latest? >> reporter: well, candidates have suspended big campaign events, but they are still appears on television, still giving interviews and still tweeting reacting to this attack not far from where i'm standing right now that left one police officer dead and the attacker as well killed. the far right candidate is the one most likely perhaps to benefit from this attack because

she's linked terrorist to open borders, even though the suspect in this case is french born. there is also a right wing candidate who's right of center may also benefit from this as well. and then the leader in the polls, what will happen to his standing in the polls when the first round of voting takes place on sunday, those are all big questions once again. the factor of terrorist attack once again. it is obviously not the first time. there was some devastating attacks in 2015. will it have an impact? certainly it's been a big topic of the campaign just a few days before the first round. chris, back to you. >> politics of career fear in f effect. take a look at this picture, not my face. how does this make you feel? there is a lot of buzz about this photo. i'm going to tell you why next.

president trump tweeting this morning saying no matter how much i accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, it has been a lot, including some reports media will kill. let's discuss this and more with our cnn political commentators. it's great to have you here this morning. so obviously the 100 day is an artificial deadline, but it has

been used i learned this morning since 1933 with franklin delnor roosevelt because the ceiling is that president's do have the most moment tell when they first come in to get things accomplished. >> i would argue president trump has had a successful first 100 days. recently released u.s. prisoner in egypt, the supreme court nominee. >> so the syria strike was recent and i agree with you across the aisle, people lauded it. the other was this morning. you don't see any muddled messages in these first 100 days. >> not with his foreign policy. i think he's been pragmatic, responsive, measured and strong. and america is back. we have arrived back on the world stage, but we are not going to let human atrocities go unnoticed.

don't try push health care through. it's been a successful 100 days. get it right. don't get it quick. >> how do you see them? >> i think it's a mixed bag. i grade him as a c. first of all, i'm happy we're still all alive and able to even discuss it. i think some of us had low expectations after what just happened we're all around. i think you can't argue with the fact that him getting a supreme court justice through this quickly was a success. on foreign policy, it's been a mixed bag. for god sake's this week they couldn't find a ship, a big ship. they have been all over the place when it comes to mexico and foreign policy. on a domestic front there is a popularity rate of what do you constituents, your voters, what do americans think about you, it is very low. he has had good moments like the 30 seconds, the one minute when

he recognized the widow of the navy seal at the point address for congress. i think it's been a mixed bag, but a mixed bag is probably not good enough for donald trump. and what he's doing right now is gauging the expectations. >> he wants a win. i think that's clear he likes to win. so he wants something big to happen legislatively in the first 100 days. so they're really redoubling their efforts it sounds like in terms of health care. but is this realistic? can happen in the next week? >> i don't think it's realistic. i look and they're tinkering with the pre-existing conditions provision. i remember this moment in the cnn town hall where a cancer patient looked at paul ryan and said i'm here today because of this provision and it is one the president vowed to protect. it is very important, crucial and i don't think pushing it through and making some deal on pre-existing conditions without a lot of thought is the right way to do it. >> why are they suggesting they might be able to do this by the end of next week? >> i think part of it because

they want to meet that 100 days date deadline. i think they want to have something to show for it legislatively, which until now they don't. i also think because they were so embarrassed by the first defeat that they want to recover and get back on their feet. and some of it may be let's make it so quick that the american people don't have a chance to react, that we don't have a replay of all of those town halls that we saw for weeks and weeks where congress people were getting screamed at and hollered at by constituents which shook their faith on the bill and made a lot of them shy away from supporting them. i think they thought last time we gave them several weeks and it was a disaster. let's see if this time it could be a quick deal and maybe we won't have the backlash we faced the last time. it would be frankly a miracle if they were able to get something passed, if they were able to get something good passed. they looked like stupid fools the first time.

they will look like stupid fools a second time, which is worse, if they don't get this one through. >> i want to show you this awesome photo from my high school class reunion. check this out. okay. well, this is the oval office. this isn't my class reunion. this was a visit of sarah palin and ted nugent had to the white house. here is the one from my class reunion. this is getting some criticism because they seem to be disrespecting hillary clinton's portrait there at the white house. >> look, i think this is overblown. they were having fun. they were taking a picture with hillary clinton. they are obviously not fans of her. hillary clinton's picture is ev >> we do generally afford first ladies respect. >> and they respect her. i think they wanted to take a

fun picture. oh, here's hillary clinton. you didn't make it to the white house. >> how do you see this? >> look, i see it as immature, childish, foolish and to be expected from that crowd. look, one day there is going to be a picture of melania trump hanging on those walls and a picture of donald trump hanging on those walls and folks are going to go and stick their tongue out at it. and people are going to say, do you remember when sarah palin did that? >> other than their facial expressions, what are they doing there? >> they didn't choose to stand in front of eleanor roosevelt. they chose to stand in front of hillary clinton. they got the fascial expression. as somebody who has been at the white house, i can tell you you see a lot of pictures hanging there. some you agree with.

some don't. but there is this respect for the place, if r the office. like i say to you, there is going to be a day when there is going to be a picture of donald trump and melania trump hanging on the walls and i hope people treat them with respect. >> you mentioned sticking their front in front of melania's picture. they're not doing that. >> i guess part of the problem is what ted nugent said. >> let's go ahead and pretend they're standing in front of the picture and being respectful and thankful for the service just by, you know, a fluke of where they were standing. come on, folks. if you don't think that's disrespectful, that's fine. some people do. >> kid rock is being awfully measured number one in that photo. i think he's been restrained. but it is the back story that ned nugent shared with the media

outlet saying what they first planned on doing. meanwhile, sarah palin sat down with jake tapper and of course she worked at fox news. she was a contributor there for quite some time. she walked about that in the wake of bill o'reilly being ousted. so let's listen. >> corporate culture there obviously has to change. women don't deserve, they should not ever have to put up with any kind of intimidating work space. at the same time, if a woman believes that she is being intimidated and harassed, she needs to stand up and do something about it and not stick around for a paycheck for years and years and years and then after the fact complain about what she went through. >> how do you react to her comments there? >> look, no one should be forced to choose between taking a paycheck or leaving. every woman should be respected in the workplace. i understand her plea for

boldness, that women need to stand up against this, but no woman should face this. >> i understand that women didn't stand up at fox news. that is not the case. women tried in their own way. that was tough. how do you hear it, anna? >> i thought the first part of her statement was right on point. women should not have to put up this kind of behavior in the workplace. as far as the second part, i certainly am not going to stand in judgment of any woman as to when she chooses to complain, to bring claims, to bring charges on these sort of things. i think people have got to process it, have to explore their options. let's just remember it wasn't too long ago when the perpetrators of sexual assault and sexual harassment did not pay the price, when women were not believed, when the ones that did pay the price were the women that brought charges and claims and complaints. there is a cultural shift that has happened as a result of the last year where we have seen

mighty powerful rich men fall. this was not like that for previous generations of women who might have been silent for longer. so i think that right now the message to women of what happens is do not be afraid. speak up. hold them accountable. hold them responsible and the message to the perpetrators is be afraid because even the mighty oak can fall. even the mighty and the powerful can be brought down if you see something inappropriate. but i will not stand in judgment of my victim as to when they choose to do what. >> and certainly not -- it's very hard to walk away from a paycheck and to suggest you could easy luck away from any paycheck is hard. but great message. thank you. great discussion. chris. >> all right. that was a very important discussion. we have dig nebig news for you.

violent antigovernment protests are ripping venezuela. the u.s. now pulled into the chaos after their government seized a gm plant. we have the latest. >> reporter: hi. that's right. venezuela's opposition is keeping up the pressure. they're vowing to renew protests, keep them going for the next three days. this comes after they were already back out on the streets yesterday. three people were killed on wednesday. thursday crowds were a bit smaller but they ended with the same violent slashes with the security forces firing tear gas at protesters. the protesters themselves covers their faces. they're carrying signs that say no more dictatorship. that's what they accuse them of doing, trying to evnstate a

dictatorship. it really began at the beginning of the month and shows no signs of letting up. and now the united states is being drawn even further into it with general motors saying they're halting all operations in venezuela after authorities seized one of their plants, even removing some vehicles from the facility according to gm. now those 2,700 workers at the factory will not be working. this is another complication in what is looking like it will be a long, drawn-out stand off. >> thank you for being there for cnn. so we all need heroes maybe more than ever and we're looking for them at cnn, but we can't do it without you. help us find people who are doing extraordinary work, just like the folks you are going to meet right now. >> i met my hero when we were volunteering. he's making a big difference for

kids in our area. >> she is my second mom, my mentor. >> i felt like it was very important for people to know about sister tesa. >> i feel honored i was able to honor her in such a significant way. >> i was so proud of myself because i was, oh, my goodness, for everything she's done for me, i did something for her, you know. >> what a great story. >> right? and it is one of those situations where being nominated is an honor in and of itself. one thing you can do, go to cnnheroes.com and you can nominate someone. i nominate you ever year. >> strongly, the committee has never chosen me. meanwhile, we are approaching president trump's 100 day in office. how is he doing? what grade would you give him? we are going to check in with someone who was a critic, who frequently spoke out against the

president during the campaign. it is mark cuban. >> in his long john's. >> how does he think the president is doing now? what are his accomplishments? talk to you in a minute. >> brought to you by geico. 15 minutes could save you on car insurance. we should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico insures way more than cars. boats, motorcycles... even rvs! geico insures rvs? what's an rv? uh, the thing we've been stuck on for five years! wait, i'm not a real moose?? we've been over this, jeff... we're stickers! i'm not a real moose? give him some space. deep breaths, jeff. what's a sticker?!? take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more. bp engineered a fleet of 32 brand new ships with advanced technology, so we can make sure oil and gas get where they need to go safely. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better.

he has a very am birgs agenda for the next week. how has he done thus far? let's ask another billionaire, the owner of the dallas mavericks and "shark tank" host, mr. mark cuban. >> you guys are a dime a dozen you billionaires. >> i'd say a c minus. there's some things he's tried to do. i give him credit for the supreme court and, you know, delivering i guess the low bar when you do what you are say you are going to do. no major policy changes at all. signs a lot of executive orders that he doesn't truly understand. but there is still hope. >> look, those executive orders, i just met with a bunch of his supporters yesterday. they love things going. they think that will help business. >> two different things, right first you have to ask why do they support him and i think we're coming to a greater understanding now.

i call it political chemotherapy. and one of my friends who i always thought was very smart said, mark, i voted for politicians my entire life. he's in his 50s. do you know what the definition of insanity is? doing the same thing over and over expecting the same results. so i voted for donald trump. is he poisonous in a lot of respects? yeah. he's our chemotherapy. we hope he's going to change the political system. >> that's a fascinating analogy. why do you give him a c minus? it's only 100 days. what do you think he's failed to do? >> health care. obviously, he doesn't have a foundation for any tax changes. he's going to find it it is also complicated and difficult to get passed. he hasn't developed a relationship with democrats to try to get anything that he proposes passed. he talked a lot about getting --

he thought he would be able to go across the aisles and get things done and now he says everybody hates me and nobody is helping me. >> tactics, management style, what have you seen and how do you see it protected on to this ultimatum for next week. >> he's not a strong manager, you know. when i have seen people default to hiring family and being dependant on family, that's always a bad sign from a manager's perspective. that means you don't know how to hire, train or delegate responsibility and you are probably not a good communiqcatr and those have all been symptoms of his presidency so far. >> he's in a particular category because he's so close to his children. >> no, no, no. >> yeah. and that's true. and that confirms what i've said even more. if you look at the trump organization, he's had a lot of long-time employees. but as an entrepreneur one of

the things i'm proud of is you can talk to all the different investments i've had and say has mark mentored you? has he helped you with your company? would you turn to him with your advice m some say no, but a lot say yes. you cannot find one that say donald trump mentored them. >> why are you forgetting about ararosa? >> that conveys who he is as a manager. >> what do you think the play is for next week. this is a man that stayed away from health care. he didn't want to own it. remember all that. now he says i'm going to get it done next week. why would he set himself up with such a clear line. >> when you're to blif vous you can say anything and not have to deal with the consequences of it. >> you know him. you got to look it up, but the premise is this guy is an idiot

and nobody knows it, taking everybody he says as wisdom. this is a smart guy. why would he do this? >> i disagree. i think he's a real estate savant. he has a good eye for real estate. you can read the papers and listen to the radio, follow the tv and know what is going on and talk to people in the industry and that's not the way the world works. that's not the way government works. that's the problem. so when he goes out there and says, this is what i'm going to do. go backwards. how many times has he said in 30 days i'm going to have a plan to beat isis. in 90 days we'll know exactly what happened with the russians. nobody holds him accountable and he just doesn't care, that's being oblivious. >> that was a campaign promise, the wall, and it evaporated.

>> either you believe in the adage that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it or you don't and you ask yourself what is the one topic that president trump is very literal on, that he really understands and knows well? what is the one thing he knows well? >> market, branding. >> what has happened to brand usa? so let's just say give him that, give him marketing and branding. what's the next one? crickets. >> hold on a second. >> i love when they laugh. no he connected with a face he has no real connection to. do you know how hard that is to do in public. >> what topic does he understand? >> you're saying like economics, stuff like that? >> you guys got all these papers you read so you can hold a conversation and be learned on a topic. >> she reads them and gives me the answers. >> what does he know? what topic does he know?

what is the one topic where you have said, when you talk to president trump, he knew this. >> isn't the trump card the first word you just said, president trump? >> yeah. >> he must know something. >> some people say he started a movement. i think the movement found him. i'll go back to what my friend said that he's political chemotherapy. >> i think you are overlooking his special magic. he has something. he beat out 17 competitors, maybe 18. i don't know how many at this point. he has some special -- >> he campaigned well. he gave the people what they wanted. he was an entertainer. he was a showman. he never tried to convey he was an intellect about any topic at all and that was fine. >> do you believe there is better to come? that he will learn on the job, even with what we saw with china, rain, deregulating their currency manipulating. he moved away from it when he had to own it.

>> think about it, he said i understood better north korea. who goes into a meeting not knowing what's coming? that conveys who he is. to your question, am i hopeful, yes. i'll tell you why. one of the reasons i want to campaign about income taxes and business taxes for secretary clinton is she committed to me she would change corporate taxes. i'm for deregulations in a lot of areas. i like the fact he's trying to change lobbying. i like the fact he's trying to reduce the number of regulations and simplify. and, so, i think there is a possibility if he could get those passed, those are good things. >> mark cucuban, try to come ou of your shell next time. >> thank you. always appreciated. so just weeks after health care seemed to be done, republicans say done?

please. we're going to get it done next week for the 100-day milestone. is there a chance of backfire on the president? next. needles. essential for him, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.

serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™". excuse me, are you aware of what's happening right now? we're facing 20 billion security events every day. ddos campaigns, ransomware, malware attacks... actually, we just handled all the priority threats. you did that? we did that. really. we analyzed millions of articles and reports. we can identify threats 50% faster. you can do that? we can do that. then do that.

can we do that? we can do that.

president trump wants congress to push through two big things next week, a big health care plan and a spending bill. let's get the bottom line on whether this is realistic. >> let me ask you guys something. when is the last thing you saw congress do two big things in one week's time. that feels like a heavy lift there and i think the president may be underestimating the difficulty in just getting the kov government funded. that is going to be a big hatbae next week. democrats are already putting up a dock -- blockade. >> wall versus wall, who wins? do the democrats have to give up on the funding of the first part or take the wall off the menu?

>> that's the leverage, that's chuck schumer's leverage and the only leverage democrats have in this town. but, you know, it will be a battle. i would imagine both sides are going to have to give if you want to get to some kind of an agreement. but it will be an all-consuming one. so we don't have legislative text on this new health care potential breakthrough with the freedom caucus and the moderates. without text, it's friday, folks. i mean, i don't see how next week in time for some false deadline just the 100-day mark because the administration wants to be able to check off a list that they're going to be able to get this done. >> i don't know if the administration wants that anymore. let me read you president trump's tweet. no matter how much i accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, it has been a lot including the supreme court media will kill.

is the first 100 days important to him or no? >> i don't know how somebody goes to pennsylvania 17 days before the election to give his hig closing argument that is a contract to the american people can then tweet it is a ridiculous standard. those two things don't make sense together. he brought in the construct during the campaign, so now he doesn't want to be judged by it because perhaps he didn't get as much done as he hoped. >> how much weight do you put in the gallup poll. they say trump has the lowest number they've measured in the first 100 days. i think clinton was the next lowest. trump is 40, 41. clinton was 55. >> right. so this is the average of the first quarter of his presidency and just you can look at the chart. he lines up at the bottom as you're saying from compared to all of his recent predecessors in modern times. the whole story there, chris, is

tied to why he's not getting stuff done in the first 100 days. this was a president without a honeymoon. he came in with the lowest poll numbers and he's kept that streak going all the way through these first three months. so that is part of the story as to why he is not racked up a whole series of accomplishments, despite having every lever of government, the house, the senate, the court and the white house. >> you're going to need a lot of sleep this weekend to prepare for next week. thanks so much for being here. >> all right. cnn news room with poppy harlow and john berman picks up right after the break. there is a lot of news. please stay with cnn.

alaska air space. they proceeded to fly into canadian air spas. unknown whether the u.s. scrambled my jets in response. let's bring in ryan brown to join us with the details. ryan, what are you learning? >> reporter: these russian bombers nuclear capable bombers flew 700 miles off -- 700 nautical miles off the coast of anchorage. they are a violation of what's called the air defense identi identification zone and the u.s. tends to respond to that and escort these planes out of the area. now, again, this is the fourth in as many days. previous to this, the last time they approached the u.s. was in 2015. so u.s. defense officials are seeing a major uptick. one defense official says there is no other w
