licking their wounds this morning. this is a major loss not only for ossoff but democrats as well. the party poured more than $20 million into his campaign. he still came up short, was unable to tap into enough moderates and independents here in the district. it points to a much larger problem for democrats, brook, in part a messaging problem. the president sent out a tweet congratulating handel. he came to the district to hold a private fund-raiser. throughout the campaign, she tried to down play the national implications and some analysts say tried to distance herself from the president. last night it was all about the president and handel. >> a special thanks to the president of the united states

of america. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: when we talk about that much larger problem for democrats, take a look at also what happened in south carolina. there was a special election there as well. democrats unable to pick up the seat there. that race was much closer than expected, but still so far democrats are 0 for 4. chris, brooke? >> it's easy to be gracious in victory. we hadn't heart handel put her arms around trump last night. that's what happens when you win. when you lose, we need the political kpanl. john avlon, margaret taliban,

political reporter for the journal constitution, greg bluestein. >> john avlon, what do you take of what happened last night? >> first of all, all the money in the world can't fight a plus nine republican advantage. there's a redistricting issue in this country where all districts are not set up evenly. republicans ran someone with experience against a first-timer. all that money and unthus as couldn't over come that deficit. republicans successfully tied the candidate as a centrist, some far left millennial but also nancy pelosi. there are deep issues and brand. >> jason mentioned 0 for 4. essentially you have kansas, you have montana, you have georgia and you have south carolina, all republicans winning. margaret, if you're a democrat

waking up this morning, what the heck are you thinking? >> if you're a democrat waking up this morning, it's back to reality. there was this kind of fantasy scenario that many democrats were hope for where there would be this major upheaval and it would complicate health care and mitch mcconnell's plans for a vote and it would be like, wow, the reference wren dumb of trump and everything got easier and it would shake up the whole system. that's not what's happened. this is much more a reality scenario where democrats see that they can come close in place thas that have been repubn for a long time. it doesn't matter if you win. you're looking at midterms that have to focus and staying away from being labeled a san francisco liberal. >> greg, you've got to put meat on the bones though, right? it's not our job to do that as journalists, we just outline

what the right questions are. the democrats need to find some answers. they teach you in campaign school -- avalon probably heard something about this -- you've got to learn from failure. otherwise you're doomed to fail. an acronym for fail, the future always involves learning. it ain't a coincidence that they lost all these races. what are they not getting done at the leadership level? >> this is the race that really hurt, the one they thought they could win out of the four races on the ballot. this is the race where trump struggled in this district, won it by less than two points. you're right. i don't know what the democratic message will be. they're trying to figure out what formula, what secret concoction to come up with. the jon ossoff he tried to appeal to liberals and centrists at the same time and it didn't work for him. >> wasn't it just -- ossoff was a little bit of an unknown. handel was a little more of a

known. i didn't feel like it was about these two people. for democrats, trump is bad, the numbers are bad, this is a referendum on him. that negativity will carry us to victory. negativity wasn't enough. >> that's true in politics. it's not enough to oppose something. you have to support something positive as well. all these districts are in red states, let's not forget that. democrats thought they had the early momentum advantage. early polling showed them in a strong position. at the end of the day they couldn't get it done. there's a lot of soul searching to be done by democrats about whether it was the candidate, whether it was the message and whether fet ralizing the election, even in a district where donald trump is unpopular that's college educated, will folks turn out for the republican despite donald trump? this there's a lot of analysis democrats have to do. we know senate majority leader mitch mcconnell announcing this discussion draft

of the bill should be available by tomorrow. listening to the briefing yesterday at the white house, sean spicer admitting that the president hadn't seen any bit of it so far. is that a good sign for republicans, that they'll have this draft by tomorrow? >> well, president trump and the white house have made pretty clear that they really want a bill to pass, and they made that clear during the house process and now during the senate process. the president's comments about wanting the bill to have more heart than the house version gives him a little space to step back if this whole thing turns ugly. make no mistake about it, they want this to pass because it is the predicate for anything to work afterwards, whether it's tax reform -- >> how does he explain -- we took a briefing live yesterday, we had the big victory lap. the president standing in the rose garden with house republicans in the wake of that big win and you have the president saying essentially that bill was mean and saying to

senate republicans, i need more heart. how do you reconcile the two? >> you don't reconcile them. it's political space, maneuvering room so he can back away or criticize it or say it wasn't my bill if it ends up becoming unpopular or failing. right now what you don't see from the president is deep hands-on, jump-in involvement telling mcconnell this is the language i want, this is the language that would have heart. the reason you don't have that because what he wants, what the president wants above all else at this point is to get something passed so he can get back into position to try to negotiate legislation that can clear both chambers. >> to be fair to the president, one, he's on the right message in terms of what we know about this early bill from the house and the vulnerability to the vulnerable in it. mabel shea should listen to them. the second one is, it's their job to make the law. he executes the law. he can propose. this is really on the senate. let's remember, greg, this process is such a bow to

hypocrisy by the republicans. we remember how they were righteous and probably right to say the aca is getting forced through, this is so important for the american people, you're creating entitlement, we have to discuss it, it has to be open, there were so many hearings. pence and mcconnell making comments that they are defying on a daily basis. let's remind what they said back then. >> this is another version lurching out of the back rooms after weeks of closed-door negotiation. >> this massive piece of legislation that seeks to restructure 1/6 of our economy is being written behind closed doors without input from anyone in an effort to jam it past, not only the senate, but the american people. >> now you have senators in the working group, the group tasked with designing this, who haven't seen it yet. he wants to put out a draft tomorrow and vote next week. is there going to be a price for

this haste? >> i think there will be. as you mentioned, it's hypocrisy on both sides. we see it again and again in washington. there's frustration from voters in districts like the sixth district that showed 80% of voters see that health care is our top concern and only a quarter of them supported the house health care bill so there could be a price to pay, although there wasn't in last night's election for karen handel. >> greg, margaret and john, hang on. let's move on and talk about what's happening with the white house. white house press secretary sean spicer will not say if president trump believes russia interfered in the 2016 election. cnn's joe johns is live at the white house with more. joe johns, how have they never spoken about this? >> reporter: pretty hard to believe, brooke.

press secretary sean spicer in front of the cameras for the first tienl in more than a week. he certainly left big questions unanswered, including one seemingly settled question about the role of russia in the last election, a question that could come up on capitol hill as early as today in a hearing featuring the former homeland security secretary. as far as this administration goes, five months in now, sean spicer can't or won't say where the president stands. white house press secretary sean spicer refusing to say whether president trump believes russia interfered in the 2016 election. >> i think -- i have not sat down and talked to him about that specific thing. >> reporter: dismissing the unified assessment of the nation's intelligence community. >> it's very disturbing because this was a serious attack on our democracy, and at the top of the united states government, there ought to be a level of concern. >> reporter: spicer's refusal to answer this basic question,

adding to the mounting credibility issues facing the president's spokesman. >> i have not had an opportunity to have that discussion. >> i haven't asked him. >> honestly, i haven't asked him. >> reporter: president trump addressed the issue with carrying responses. >> as far as hacking, i think it was russia. but i think we also get hacked by other countries and other people. >> i'll go along with russia. could have been china. >> reporter: president trump doesn't appear too concerned given former fbi director james comey's testimony that the president never asked him about russia meddling. attorney general jeff sessions reflecting this last week. >> i never received any detailed briefing about hacking occurred or how information -- >> reporter: meanwhile "the new york times" raising questions about why the president's fired national security adviser general michael flynn continued to sit in for the almost daily intelligence briefings from cia

director mike pompeo, despite concerns across government that he may have been compromised by the russians. >> we told them we were giving them all this information so they could take action. >> reporter: pompeo who was appointed in january refused to answer questions about whether he knew his own agency's concerns last month. >> i can't answer yes or no. i regret i'm unable to do so. >> reporter: this as the white house faces growing pressure on how it will respond to the death of otto warmbier and new activity at north korea's nuclear testing site. >> it's a total disgrace what happened to otto. that should never, ever be allowed to happen. >> reporter: president trump implicitly casting blame on the obama administration. >> n frommingly, if he would have been brought home sooner, the result would have been a lot different. >> reporter: tweeting route elaboration that china's efforts to help north korea have not

worked out. it's difficult to see how that tweet won't come up today when secretary of state rex meets with his chinese counterparts here in washington, d.c. the president for his part receives his daily security briefing this morning before flying off to iowa for a campaign-style rally, chris and brooke. >> joe, it wouldn't be the wildest bet to say when asked about it that the secretary of state may say, i haven't had a chance to talk to the president about it yet. that is an obvious tactic. we're going to take a break. when we come back, we'll prove that to you, that this language isn't a coincidence and when it is used and why it is used matters in the reckoning of truth for this white house. stay with us. i'm ryan and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried to quit cold turkey. i tried to quit with the patch; that didn't work. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. for me, chantix worked.

it reduced my urge to smoke. compared to the nicotine patch, chantix helped significantly more people quit smoking. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i'm so proud to be a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay.

discussion with him on the question. >> i haven't talked to the president specifically about this. >> i have not had an opportunity to have that discussion. >> i have not asked him. >> i have not asked the president. >> i haven't asked him. i'll get back to you. >> pal nl meet face. >> john avlon, margaret talev and david drucker back with us. margaret, you sit in on these questions. this is a simple one, but does sean spicer not talk to the president? >> he talks to the president about things that the president wants him to talk about. this obviously isn't one of them. there was more than a week between televised briefings, the white house certainly knew this was a question that reporters were going to ask ahead of the briefing. the oval office is actually just a few feet away from the press secretary's office. this actually is a matter for

the white house to clear up, even if sean felt like he wasn't prepared to talk about it from the podium. there is e-mail and there are statements. this is a deliberate effort to keep maneuvering room or at least keep the distance between the white house and talking about the russia issue from the podium. it may be that simple. i was surprised he didn't just refer the question to marc kasowitz, the president's private lawyer. we have a situation now where staff and cabinet officials throughout the administration are having to retain their own personal attorneys in preparation for this on going investigation. it is obviously a delicate legal matter. to talk about it at all now from the podium seems to be something that the white house is trying to avoid. >> how do you see it, john? >> this is a simple factual question for folks to answer. if we're going to be honest, two explanations. one, sean spicer is scared to ask the president -- >> you don't think the "we

haven't spoken" is an awkward deniability line? >> no. the second is spicer knows the answer but doesn't think it's actually good for public consumption because it's self-evidently not rooted in truth. >> although the president has said several times that he's sideways about it. >> i think that's the larger truth. what we know is the president may acknowledge russia had something to do with it because of the overwhelming consensus of the intelligence community. at the end of the day he doesn't seem to care. why? because it benefited him. >> david drucker, how do we know this? is it just theoretical? no, it isn't. jim comey if he was to be taken as truthful, he has never -- >> never been asked. >> in nine conversations, he never asked him about the larger issue of russian interference. doesn't that tell you everything you need to know, that when this

president, this white house hears russian interference, he thinks, bad for me. >> i'll get back to you. i haven't had a chance to talk to myself this morning about how i feel about this issue. i think we have to back up and remember that the president has always been hesitant to criticize russia, even as he's browbeated many of our long-time allies. i think one of the reasons is he has a fascination with vladimir putin and russia, and he still i think imagines he can form some allian alliance, a détente where his predecessors, democrat and republican, have tried and failed. number two, he's always felt that russian meddling in the 2016 election which we know happened, which we know is a big deal and russia is uniquely capable among our adversaries to do, he has always felt that undermined his victory and suggests he won by illegitimate means which, by the way, isn't necessarily true.

and i have never found to be true, but it is an issue of national security that his administration needs to address because the next time it happens, it's going to be on his watch and not on his predecessor's. that's why i think the president has backed away from doing anything about it and why it doesn't serve spicer to talk about it. as john avlon said, i don't think the answer would have been very becoming. >> quickly, before we move on, there's a piece in "the new york times" this morning about how the then national security adviser michael flynn was vulnerable apparently to russia blackmail but was sitting in these very, very important meetings with mike pompeo, the head of the cia, john. people are thinking why the heck is he listening in on state secrets if he's vulnerable to blackmail. he was the nsa? >> he was the national security adviser. that's not terribly surviving. what it hints to is the trump administration, how aware they

were of the problems posed by flynn, the warnings they had gotten from justice or the cia and had the official position been to simply ignore it as long as they could until they were confronted with it publicly. >> you wind up in the same place with both these threads. this white house, they're not the first. they're in there right now and doing something they shouldn't do. they don't tell the truth. they knew about the questions about flynn. they didn't want to do anything about it. they know about the russian interference, they don't want to do anything about it. so they don't tell the truth about things that they don't like. it's just more obvious than we're used to. >> there are two kind of trajectories. one is the public discussion on this, whether it's from the podium, whether it's in the senate and house hearings that are unfolding. the other one, the concurrent track is, mr. mueller's investigation, and that is where all of these lines of inquiry are now going to proceed. so the white house's strategy is

to minimize the coverage of this, the discussion of this from the podium. but where it really matters, which is behind the scenes, make no mistake, these are precisely the questions being pursued. >> but how you talk about it matters. if you don't want to talk about something, you can refer it to counsel. you can say there's an ongoing investigation. you can even shame the questioner by saying why don't you ask me about health care, why don't you do that? russian interference matters. these questions around collusion matter. it's not that they don't matter, but we're not going to resolve them today. in fact, when you overheat the discussion about them, you kind of put the process in a bad position because it can't yield an answer today. if you want an answer today, it's going to fuel a lot of speculation, but they don't do that, john. >> no. >> they dissemble, avoid in an awkward way and it winds upcoming across very dishonest. >> they're betting on

partisanship, on a pavlovian distrust of the media and a sense that this is all just people out to get the president. here is the thing that matters most of all, truth matters. they can spin their way out of it, dissemble it. but at the end of the day, the cold, hard facts will come back to haunt them. >> for now it's working with republican voters. the voters i talked to in georgia earlier this month told me they were aware of the russia investigation but they don't see anything there. they would rather focus on health care. >> when you look at the cbs news poll out from yesterday, something like 63% of americans disapprove of the way the president is handling all this. >> right. because broadly the polling is correct. but when you localize this into republican districts where the races will be fought, republican voters are sticking with the president and the white house is aware of this, republicans in congress are aware of it. that's why you're seeing much of what you're seeing. >> sticking with the party. if you're a red sox fan, you may have a horrible team and you may know it.

>> but you're never cheering for the yankees. >> right. we have news of another terrorist attack in europe. but this time a very different outcome. an attempted bombing at a brussels train station was stopped. how? what does it mean? live report next. where are we? about to see progressive's new home quote explorer. where you can compare multiple quote options online and choose what's right for you. woah. flo and jamie here to see hqx. flo and jamie request entry. slovakia. triceratops. tapioca. racquetball. staccato. me llamo jamie. pumpernickel. pudding. employee: hey, guys! home quote explorer. it's home insurance made easy. password was "hey guys."

belgian officials revealing more about a terror suspect shot and killed following a failed bomb attack at a brussels central station. we have cnn's erin mclaughlin live in brussels with the latest. this was some police work that was done there. >> reporter: that's right, chris. we're getting new and chilling detail as to how this attack unfolded at 8:40 p.m. yesterday evening, the suspect entered the train station just behind me with a suitcase, shouting,

approached a group of people, the suitcase partially detonated. he dropped the suitcase and raced down the platform in pursuit of the station master. the suitcase detonated a second time, full of nails and glass bottles. thankfully no one was hurt in either explosion. the suspect then stormed soldiers inside the station. the soldiers opened fire, shooting and killing him. he has been identified, although not named by authorities. 36 years old, moroccan national with no prior links to terror. they raided his home in the overnight hours. this is just the latest incident in a string of terrorist-related incidents to strike europe on monday. you may remember that failed attack on the champs less say, this entire continent remains on high alert. >> i can't imagine the climate in europe. at least no one was hurt.

but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

authorities released dash cam video revealing chilling moments that led to a police officer shooting and killing philando castile during a

traffic stop last year in minnesota. the video comes four days after the jury found the police officer not guilty of manslaughter. so the video is relevant, the case has been decided, and it is certainly graphic. cnn's ryan young has the story. >> sir, i have to tell you i do have a firearm on me. >> reporter: newly released dash cam video showing the crucial moment that led up to this deadly encounter in july. >> you shot four bullets into him, sir. he was getting his license and registration, sir. >> reporter: the shooting of this man, 32-year-old philando castile by jeronimo yanez, his girlfriend diamond reynolds broadcast the horrific aftermath on facebook. >> oh, my god, please don't tell me he's dead rfr just after lie july 6th, a small predominantly white neighborhood, officer

yanez stops castile believing he resembled a suspect in a robbery and had a broken headlight. diamond reynolds in the front seat, 4-year-old daughter in the back seat. >> your brake lights are out. >> reporter: castile can be seen handing yanez his insurance card and also telling the officer he has a gun. >> i have to tell you i do have a firearm on me. >> don't reach for it. don't pull it out. >> you just killed my boyfriend. >> don't pull it out. >> he wasn't. >> yanez fires seven shots, five of them hit castile, two in the heart.

>> don't move dlaim don't move dlaim. >> oh, my god! >> don't move, baby. >> code three. >> yanez let's out a tirade of profanity has reynolds begins her facebook broadcast. >> i told him not to reach for it. id told him to get his hand off of it. >> he was getting his driver's license. >> also seen for the first time, yanez's backup, officer joseph cowser positioned on the passenger side of castile's car. his casual demeanor up until the moment of the shooting prosecutors say dpen n demonstrates he doesn't feel threatened. he said he was unaware there was a firearm in the car and was surprised when he heard shots ring out because he didn't know yanez pulled his weapon, saying he did not hear the majority of the interaction with castile an maintained he never saw a gun in the car. also caught on camera moments

after the shooting, statements yanez made to fellow officers. >> [ bleep ]. i told him not to put his hand on it. >> reporter: minutes later this exchange between yanez and a supervising female officer. >> i told him to take his hands off of it, and he had his grip a lot wider than a wallet, and i don't know where the gun was. he didn't tell me where the [ bleep ] gun was. >> reporter: prosecutors say it was roughly 15 minutes after the shooting that castile's gun was discovered in his right front pocket by an officer assisting with chest compressions. yanez was found not guilty of second degree manslaughter. yanez testified last week he feared for his life because castile put his hand on his firearm, not his wallet or identification, telling the jury, i didn't want to shoot mr. castile. that wasn't my intention. i thought i was going to die. ryan young, cnn, minneapolis.

>> thank you to ryan for putting together the piece. why do we show the video after the case has been decided? because it matters, because it's part of a national conversation, because this was an outcome nobody was happy with, and in the aftermath, whether it was rightful or wrongful led to discussions about use of force and training and protocols. that's why it still matters even after the decision by the court. >> it does. now we have the attorney for the family of philando castile, judge glenda hatchett. good morning to you and thank you for being with me. >> absolutely. >> let's begin with, again, this is something that the jurors and you have seen, the family has seen in court. this is the first time we're all publicly seeing this dash cam video. when you first saw it, what was your reaction? >> i was stunned. brooke, i was absolutely stunned. i knew in theory what to expect, but we all saw it for the first time the jury saw it. i think that it really is, it

shows that yanez actually panicked. this is a man who was trying to comply. he was doing exactly what the officer asked him to do. he produced his insurance. he was reaching for his driver's license. yanez had the advantage. he has the gun out. he's controlling the situation, and i think the tape really shows a man who panicked and shot that gun seven times. >> in the end, the jury, though, disagreed, acquitting him. >> they did. >> on friday, much to your dismay and the dismay of the family. what do you think the jury saw in that piece of tape that you do not? >> what people have said in their interviews with the jur s jurors, one in particular, he said he did not respond to the commands. the thing is, though, brooke, if you ask someone to produce their license and they're reaching for their license, is that reasonable justification? and in my mind it is not.

i am still baffled at how 12 people could come to the conclusion to acquit him in this matter because i do think this is a compelling example of a man who doesn't have -- he's not a fleeing felon, not combative with the police, he's doing everything he's been asked to, but yet he still loses his life. that's the problem i am having, the family is having and so many people in this country are wrestling with this issue. >> obviously it was the officer who felt that his life was in danger, and we know the way that court ruled. >> yes. >> looking ahead. i know there's the philando castile relief foundation. >> there is. >> what is the family hoping to happen in the wake of this tragedy and also, are they filing a civil suit? >> the first thing i have to say is valerie castile has been remarkable. that's not even a great example of what i can say. i don't even have the words to talk about her courage and her conviction in this. and the relief fund actually has

already helped other families and have given out scholarships in his honor. as far as a civil matter which is where i'm representing her as the administrator of his estate, we are looking at next steps. robert bennett who is my co-counsel in minnesota, we're looking at what is appropriate as we go forward on that side of the case. we'll have more details on that coming up. i hope that the nation will really look at this carefully, brooke, and i hope we as a nation will move to a different place because we're seeing these shootings far, far, far too often. >> final question. it would seem there's a report locally about something being filed in federal court. can you confirm that for me? >> no, i can't, because we're still at the process of evaluating what the next steps are. as you know, i'm very transparent and i certainly will share those details with you.

we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10 to 25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects

are pain, redness or hardness at the injection site; muscle pain; fatigue; headache; nausea; and joint pain. bexsero may not protect all individuals. tell your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or if you have received any other meningitis b vaccines. ask your healthcare professional about the risks and benefits of bexsero and if vaccination with bexsero is right for your teen. moms, we can't wait. in just a few hours special counsel robert mueller is going to be meeting with the senate judiciary committee. yesterday he met with leaders of the house intel committee. why? because he's trying to brief them on what he's doing so they can coordinate efforts. joining us is democratic senator chris coons, a member of the senate's judiciary committee, the foreign relations and appropriations committee. i got it right there finally. good to have you, senator.

thank you for joining us. >> thank you, chris. good to be on with you again. >> let's go through some big headlines for today. first, what do you make of the democrat loss in south carolina and georgia's special election? what does this mean for you democrats? >> chris, we've got a long way to go until there's an election for the 2018 house. the special elections gin up a lot of attention locally and nationally. it's disappointing not to have taken this seat in the georgia sixth. it is a seat held for years by republican congressman newt gingrich and most recently held by a republican congressman. it's not surprising that jon ossoff wasn't successful in the special election. between health care and tax reform, there's a lot of things that will happen here in congress where control of the house is at issue. >> i see how democrats can take some pride in getting close. that's not what it's about. you have to figure out why all

the negativity towards the president isn't enough for people to switch if they are republicans to democrat. what are you not giving them? >> krigs, i think our challenge is to put forward a strong and clear agenda that helps middle americans look at the two parties and look at the directions we'd like to take the country and say they would rather have congress in the hands of democrats. at the moment, republicans control the house, the senate and the white house. so they've got the opportunity to move their agenda in a way they haven't had in a long time. we need to be not just pointing at some of the excesses or even outrages of president trump, some of the statements he made as a candidate or some of the choices he's making, and instead put forward a positive and constructive agenda. i think if we don't do that, we won't be successful in 2018. if we do do that, i think we've got a really strong chance of taking back the house. >> let's get your take on two issues that do matter to the

american people. the first one, the press secretary says he hasn't had a chance to talk with the president about whether or not he agrees the russians interfered in our election. diebl that on any level? the fact is the president has talked about this many times. he's always been sideways on acknowledging the russian hacking despite all the evidence that it actually happened. what do you make of the press secretary saying they haven't talked about it? >> that's right, chris. it's just puzzling for sean spicer to say he doesn't know, he hasn't talked to him about it. it was striking in the recent testimony by former director comey that attorney general sessions had apparently never sat down with him to ask him in detail about the russian intrusion into our 2016 election and what we should do about it. the more important thing is it's not oclear that president trump takes this serious that it's the assault on america that it is. here in america we passed strong sanctions against russia by a vote of 98-2.

i think that shows that republicans and democrats have come together to confront this threat. former director comey said in his testimony before the senate recently that because vladimir putin's russia succeeded in interfering in our 2016 election, we can expect them to come back and try again and try harder. we need to be working in a bipartisan basis. this isn't an election for 2016. this is an election issue for 2018 and 2020, chris. >> quickly, what do you want to come out of the mueller meeting? i know you won't be there, it's with the leadership of the community. what do you want? >> it's called deconfliction. it's making clear what's the investigation that mueller is looking into and what's the intelligence committee and judiciary committee looking into, to make sure there isn't interference between those two investigations. former director comey testified recently he believed it's entirely possible to have on going investigations here in the congress, and i have confidence in those investigations. in the senate they're moving forward in a strong and

bipartisan way. comey testified it's possible for those investigations to move forward without causing a needless interference with the counterintelligence and possible criminal investigation being led by special counsel mueller. >> comey is out and mueller is in. you will learn today what he thinks about deconfliction. we look forward to getting that reckoning. lastly, health care. there's a lot of hypocrisy going on, nothing new, where you are. you have an undoubtedly closed process that republicans are saying they're going to have a draft maybe tomorrow, but this week, and they want to vote next week. what do you see coming? >> well, we don't know what's in the bill that's being written by the senate republican majority. there are many republican senators who said in recent days they don't even know what's in the bill. chris, here is the difference between this process and the process that produced the affordable care act. there are dozens of hearings, days of hearings in front of the

health and education committee and the finance committee in the senate before that bill ever moved forward to the floor. folks may not remember that. they may instead remember a statement by speaker pelosi. the important thing to remember is dozens of amendments by republicans were taken up and voted on, more than 150 amendments in those committee hearings. it was a long, tortuous process that took nearly a year from introduction to passage. it went through several different committees. there were lots of opportunities for the american people to learn what was being considered, think about the bill and weigh in. i had the head of an important hospital in my area in my office, very upset. this hospital that cares for children in my community, they don't know what's in it and i can't tell them what's in it. this is no way to move forward a bill that will affect such an important thing as the health care of every american. >> senator coons, thank you for being on "new day." >> thank you. >> we're following a lot of news

including a big win for republicans in georgia and in south carolina. "new day" continues right now. >> rather than demonizing each other, we find common ground to move forward. >> republicans avoiding a major upset in georgia's special election. >> we need to lift up this nation so we can find a more civil way to deal with our disagreements. >> we used to complain like hell when democrats rammed the affordable care act. now they're doing the same thing. >> i want to assure you, before this summer is over, we will repeal and replace obamacare. >> the american people have a right to know what is in this bill. it's a total disgrace what happened to otto. he should have been home a long time ago. i hope the president and his team get a lot tougher with china. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> good morning. welcome to your "new day." alisyn is
