employed and they will shout it to the roof tops. it's given them a sense of being value youd and respected in way that we take for granted. >> to find out how this is happening, go to cnn heroes.com and while you're there dominate someone who is changing the world to be a 2017 cnn hero. >> a new report reveals russian president vladimir putin gave direct orders to defeat hillary clinton and help elect donald trump as president. >> that is as close as a bomb shell internal coup if you will. >> obama knew about russia a long time before the election and he did nothing about it. >> it's not like we have a clear snapshot of what the russians were up to. >> a republican senator says he
4:01 am
cannot support the new legislation. >> the cut to medicaid are very specific and they're the most dramatic. >> i think they'll probably get there. we'll have to see. this is "new day" weekend with victor blackwell and christie paul. >> always great to you with us. new allegations directly connecting the kremlin to the russian hackings. also a health kafr bill faces an uphill battle in the senate. >> the president could be standing face to face with vladimir putin at the g 20 meeting in germany. this is a stunning report that came out yesterday and just how much he knew about russia's attempt to hack the u.s.
4:02 am
elections. mane while more skeptical senators are weighing on the health care plan. it doesn't look like it has enough votes to pass the senate. a fifth senator has now come out against it. watch. >> i'm telling you right now i cannot support a piece of legislation that takes insurance away from tens of millions of americans. you have to protect medicaid expansion states. that's what i want. make sure that we're taken care of here in the state of nevada. >> bryan is following the latest on the russia investigation at the white house. so gom. >> reporter: good morning to you and president trump really seizing on this bomb shell washington post report as a way to lay blame on president obama for not doing enough to stop the russian hack of the 2016 presidential election. this report details how president obama was given this assessment by the cia, and the report also details the response
4:03 am
from one former administration official who felt that the administration sort of choked when it came to how they handled russia. president trump gave an interview which will air tomorrow and not surprisingly he agrees with that assessment. >> i heard for the first time that obama knew about russia a long time before the election and he did nothing about it but nothing wants to talk about that. the cia gave him information on russia a long time before they even -- you know, before the election. and i hardly see it. it's an amazing thing. to me, the question is, if he had the information why didn't he do something about it? he should have done something about it. >> but ofirms are pushing back on that criticism. they say that the president did take action and that he really found out too late to have a significant impact on the election that a lot damage had already been done.
4:04 am
they point to the fact that the president confronted putin at a meeting at the g-20 summit back in september right before the election. and it's also important to point out that donald trump himself has been very skeptical of russia's involvement. he suggested that maybe china was responsible or maybe a man in husband pajamas could have involved. and ochg president obama was also concerned that if he took too dramatic of action that it may look like he was trying to help hillary clinton in the election. >> all right. thank you. we'll bring in our political analyst for the washington post, josh rogan and washington post.
4:05 am
i want to start with you. and yourself to reiterate, according to this post report the cia told president obama that president putin specifically directed election cyber hacking. we did have the former homeland security secretary talk about that about why they didn't release that information. let's listen together here. >> one of the candidates as you'll recall was predicting that the election was going to be rigged in some way and so we were concerned that by making the statement we might in and of itself be challenging the integrity of the election process itself. >> is that explanation enough? or is there a point to what president trump is saying that president obama didn't do enough? could things have been done differently? skblnchts i think hindsight is
4:06 am
20/20 and it's ease seto criticize the obama administration at this point. i personally interviewed jason son and what' he is saying is they let political considerations factor into how they responded into what's an attack on our democracy. now, locking bac now,, looking back we can't do enough to detour the russians but if president trump is going to criticize them for not doing enough, that begs the question of what's he going to do? and he's had this schizophrenic approach. maybe it's a hoax or it's a real thing and we need to do something. if it's a real hoax and they need to do something the trump administration will find out what that is. what it should be is a program to punish russia, push back on
4:07 am
russian aggression and interferen interference. that's a big project. >> okay. let's listen to will hurt here from texas. his concern over what's being done to stop attacks from russia. >> an attack on the dnc is abattack on all of us. we should be making sure that we're talking about how do we do a counter covert i fluns? this is something that we've -- we ovshown that we're not prepared for and the russians are going to do it again. they've been doing it for a couple of decades in eastern europe. we should expect to see them again in '18. >> is there any evidence that they are going to take action in some way? >> well, look, i think josh hit the nail on the head. president trump has tried to have it both ways for the most part of his administration so far. on the terms one point saying
4:08 am
that the russia narrative is a hoax and that democrats are pursuing a witch hunt against him but admitting in his tweet yesterday that russia did in fact meddle in the 2016 election. i've heard a number of other republican lawmakers including senator rubio make this point, that if it were democrats appointed it's likely to be republicans who are targeted in 2018 and maybe 2020. so this administration to ignore that i think is integral to the parties that president trump supposedly represents. i know that in this washington post report yesterday there was some information about possible plan to input cyber weapons into russia's infrastructure, something that had started
4:09 am
within the administration. i think that's a big question here whether they will complete that program. >> well, and looking forward, josh, you know, next month the g-120 in hamburg, a very good possibility that president trump is going to come face to face with president putin. do you believe there will be any substantial conversations about syria, about ukraine? >> yeah, i mean, i do ent think the house knows yet exactly if they're going to have a meeting. what you would expect in this type of situation is for an american leader to go to putin and to say, here's exactly what we're going to do if this continues and here's exactly why you're not going to want to do this again to us in the next election and that is not just
4:10 am
about sort of cyber weapons. it's about you know, diplocattic, political, military pressures that are organized in a deterrence frame work that you know, raises the price of this kind of nonsense for an actor like russia to the point where putin wouldn't want to do it. i don't think the white house is doing that or i don't see any evidence of that at all. what we're likely to see is a lot of what we saw and that's like a lovefest. and then the president leaked a lot of top secret intelligence to the russian leaders. so if that's the mind set they're in when it comes up next month, that's a problem. but we'll have to see if they change their tune. >> all right. so grateful to have you both here. thank you.
4:11 am
up next, add another senator to the list of republicans saying no. now ready as an attack campaign on the gop defectors. >> a second mistrial in a peace trial. the family calling for unity and a third file. >> plus, more than 120 people are missing after a landslide in china. some of them could be under this search. there's a desperate search right now for any survivors. we're on to you, diabetes. time's up, insufficient prenatal care. and administrative paperwork... your days of drowning people are numbered. same goes for you, budget overruns. and rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. we're coming for you, too. for those who won't rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. optum. how well gets done.

i feel it every day. but at night, it's the last thing on my mind. for 10 years my tempur-pedic has adapted to my weight and shape, relieving pressure points from head to toe. so i sleep deeply but feel light. and wake up ready to perform. even with the weight of history on my shoulders. find your exclusive retailr at tempur-pedic.com my belly pain i could build a small city with all the over-the-counter products i've used. enough! i've tried enough laxatives to cover the eastern seaboard. i've climbed a mount everest of fiber. probiotics? enough! (avo) if you've had enough, tell your doctor
4:13 am
what you've tried and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children less than six, and it should not be given to children six to less than eighteen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess. gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally? microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight disease. there are over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample.

4:16 am
they are digging through all of that mud and rubble. the good news, they were able to save one couple as well as the newborn baby, but still working this hour to find others. there's a growing list of senators who are threatening to derail those looking to replace obamacare. you see there are also three who say that they have some serious concern. gop leaders could only afford to lose two members of their caucus in order to pass the bill next week. senator is blue state republican, facing a tough campaign in 2018. he talked about the bill in a news conference. >> i'm telling you right now i cannot support a piece of legislation that takes insurance
4:17 am
away from hundreds of thousands of americans and you mach sure that we're taken care of here in the state of nevada. biggest lie in heltd care is that if you like your doctor, you can cope them. that was the biggest lie in health care. if this bill passes, the premiums are going down and there isn't anything in this legislation that will lower your premiums. >> now, just hours after that announcement, a major television radio ad against heller. his seat is in danger in 2018 and they're willing to spend more than a million dollars to pressure him to vote yes. as they fight this out on capitol hill there are people on the front lines. the medical professionals who
4:18 am
say their voices are being ignored because they have something to say about how to fix health care. >> martin savage sat down with a group of doctors who say it's time to put patience over politics and work together. >> reporter: an hour's drive west of seattle. like anywhere in america, a place where people need health care and a way to pay for it. >> peter layman, a primary care physician and a pediatrician. different doctors, different politics. >> i voted for gary johnson. >> the libertarian. >> the libertarian candidate. >> i voted for president trump. i voted for hillary clinton. they all believe the current health care system is unsustainable. >> can i say it's broken? >> yeah. >> ask my patient. do they think it's a system that
4:19 am
serves their needs? >> under programs they say doctors are stressed to see more and more patience to make things eat. and when they finally do get a dock or only get a few minutes. it's all about numbers. >> we're kind of looking the wrong direction i think. >> we need to provide quality care for patients without driving up price. >> the trump doctor says the new plan is just as bad and will cover fewer people. >> well, i don't think it's better. i think we're probably on the wrong track. >> she even told trump that in a letter she posted online begging, please go back to the drawing board and start again. the problem, they say, is not all the talk ability which party's ooeplan is better.
4:20 am
>> weave been too much time about how to cover each other with insurance rather than what? >> rather than talking about the price for care and what is the real cost? >> the skyrocketing cost of everything in heltd care they say is what makes it unaffordable and because they daily battle with cost versus care, doctors have a lot of good ideas on how to fix things except wherever democrats or republicans discuss health care reform the doctors say there's always something missing which they noticed in a photo. what about the doctor trump appointed secretary of health? tom price has for a long time been more politician than position. >> you all are on the front lines, so to speak. >> front line practicing physicians have a long history
4:21 am
of not necessarily being at the table. and i think it's a shame that we haven't been, because if we had been more involved in the beginning we might be in a different position. >> i should point out as these doctors don't come across dumping on health insurance as the role to play. it oo's just not the whole solution. and they want to be part of the active discussion because they say maybe more than anybody, they know whether it's obama care or the latest republican plan, when it comes to health in america we can't keep going the way we're going. >> new reports say putin ordered the russia hackings themselves but could the kremlin really have anything to do with it? we'll ask a former spy to get a glimpse. >> and the second place trial in the prosecuting case. will they try for a third time? as moms,
4:22 am
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.

4:26 am
president trump is responding now to some block buster reporting about the allegations of who ordered the russia hackings and they're inching closer to the kremlin. >> now he is really focusing on president obama questioning why he didn't act on the russia hacking information. >> i just heard today for the first time that obama knew about russia a long time before the election and he did nothing about it but nobody wants to talk about that, that the cia gave him information on russia a long time before they even, you know, before the election. and i hardly see it. it's an amazing thing. to me, you know, in other words the question is if he had the information why didn't he do something about it? >> the former kgb agent and
4:27 am
based on this report from the washington post, how likely that we would be able to find out that president putin directed cyber hacking at the -- for this election? >> not very, unless we have a bug in the kremlin somehow. you've got to understand, this would have to be a very secret operation. right? we're talking about -- we're going something here to destabilize another country. you want to keep that secret. that in and of itself is difficult and next if you're talking about this collusion thing, now we're getting into -- my view, we're getting into the realm of movies. because this is so hard to execute on. when you do work in secrecy, the fewer people that know about it, the better and in my case there
4:28 am
were five people that knew about my identity and the more people you involved and this kind of operation you have to have more people involved. the more likely it is that a real leak will come out and we don't have one. we have people saying we think. it's speculation and i don't think we'll ever prove a collusion kind of thing. >> and the collusion investigation is a possibility there and still continuing, but i want to narrow in on something you talked about keeping the srk l small. what we learned kind of fleshed out in this woug post article was about the lengths that putin goes to keep things secret. and tell us a little bit more about that. >> it's a very secretive society. it has always been and it's still the same, because you know, what -- what you're trying to do if you're in a
4:29 am
dictatorship and what we have there is close to a dictatorship, you keep control as much as possible, so you know he controls the media pr the most part. you know he controls most everything, not specifically and directly and i doubt that mr. putin when he does -- has -- needs time for riding horses without his shirt on and playing ice hockey against professionals that he has time to specifically direct certain actions to be taken. he would sort of give direction. i don't think there's any way that he would ever trace this back to him having said or written down, do this. >> but how does technology today change the way things are kept secret say from back in the day when you were a spy? >> it's actually -- >> does it make it more vulnerable in some way? noo it's harder, that's correct. because if you think you keep
4:30 am
things secret by using the internet r you're mistaken. and we use the internet as a means of communication much more obviously and it can be hacked. and it's out there. it's vulnerable. my communication was with mail and through the ether with short wave radio. that is much easier to keep secret for sure. >> you're if tirs reporter who would prove what would be these digital bombs that we've placed into the russian infrastructure. you're already smiling. he started the past. it's up to president trump to detonate them. what's been the reaction to that report? >> i don't have contacts with moscow but i have unofficial contacts within the american intelligence committee. we do have these things. we don't want to explode them.
4:31 am
we want to have them in place in case the cyber wall breaks out. and i said this before, this is the more serious topic we should be talking about. yes, and if i -- if i were to bet, if it ever came to a cyber war exchange we would win. historically the russians have always been behind. overall, we are way ahead of them and have always been in technology. >> we means the u.s.? >> yes. good question. >> just double checking, jack. we appreciate you being here. thank you, sir. >> thank you. all right. a second trial and a second deadlocked jury in the case of the officer who shot and killed a man during a traffic stop. we're talking about former
4:32 am
officer ray tinsing. this set after protests across the country. reporter amanda kelly explains what happened here. >> reporter: a second mistrial for ray after 31 hours of jury deliberations. the former uc officer's body camera video shows him shoot sam during a routine traffic stop. the 24 jurors could not come to a unanimous decision that a crime was committed. >> it's going to be reindicted the way it should have been initially. >> the jury was deadlocked. a few hours later no one was budging. >> we are almost evenly split regarding our verdict by both of our verdicts. >> both sides have very valid
4:33 am
positions and when that happens it's very likely to get a hung jury. tempers flared out side the house and cincinnati's place chief calls the mistrials and fatal officer shootings across the u.s. unsettling. >> this is something that we're going to have to look at and really roll up our sleefs and look at it from a legal perspective as to how these cases should be charged. >> city leaders hoping cincinnati waits peacefully to learn what happens next. >> just because we may not like the way things happened in this case today doesn't mean that cincinnati is not going to move forward. >> and thanks to reporter amanda kelly there. samuel de-bose' mother thanks the community for this support.

itbut one i think with quesa simple answer. we have this need to peek over our neighbor's fence. and once we do, we see wonder waiting. every step you take, narrows the influence of narrow minds. bridges continents and brings this world one step closer. so, the question you asked me. what is the key? it's you. everything in one place, so you can travel the world better. mortgage rates inched up this week. here's your look. when it comes to molding young minds, nobody does it better. she also builds her own fighting robots. destroy. but when it comes to mortgages, she's less confident. fortunately for sarah, there's rocket mortgage by quicken loans.
4:37 am
it's simple, so she can understand the details and be sure she's getting the right mortgage. apply simply. understand fully. mortgage confidently. for her compassion and care. he spent decades fighting to give families a second chance. but to help others, they first had to protect themselves. i have afib. even for a nurse, it's 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. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation 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 blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your body's natural blood-clotting function. for afib patients well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares
4:38 am
in reducing the risk of stroke. don't 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 you've had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related 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. it's important to learn all you can... ...to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. there's more to know™. senator bernie sanders is hitting the road this weekend. he calls the plan the most
4:39 am
harmful piece of legislation he's ever seen. you see a tweet here, says that the bill wasn't about health care but transferring wealth. hillary clinton said the gop would be the death party if the bill passes so who is the leader of the democratic party? is it clinton, is it biden? president obama? whoant actually a democratic party in the case of sanders. one person many democrats say is not anymore is nancy pelosi. >> whether he's the leader or not is up for the caucus to decide but this is something we have to discuss. >> you think nancy pelosi is more toxic than donald trump? >> you know what? the honest answer is in some areas of the country, yes, she is. >> if you were talking about a country posting -- if you were talking about any sports team that was losing time and time again, you -- changes would be
4:40 am
made. right? the ceo would be out. >> depends on which numbers you're focusing on. democrats have lost seats nationally and locally but when it comes to fund raising nancy is a power house. joining us now, good morning to both of you. >> let's start with what we heard from congressman tim ryan there saying in some parts of the country nancy pelosi is more toxic than donald trump. your response to that? >> well, i agree with him that she is very toxic in red states full of republican supporters and the reason she disliked is because she's so effective. she is the one who brought the democrats to power the last time we were in control of congress. she is an unparalleled fund raiser and today what we should be talking about is the health care bill that republicans want
4:41 am
to take away health care from 24 million americans who are in the fight of our lives not for democrats but for the american people and the reason we're in that fight is because nancy pelosi was instrumental in passing the affordable care act that gave those millions of americans the coverage that now republicans want to take away and she was so effective at doing it that she became that lightning rod for republicans and that's why they dislike her so much. >> i live here in georgia so i saw all the handel versus ossoff ads here. i wonder if you could ex- pound upon something you wrote for the hill in talking about these fights as we lead up to 2020. you wraet the biggest single problems and what wages so many democrats is that republicans play politics like war while democrats play politics like bad minton. explain that.
4:42 am
>> well, what i proposed in that column is that president obama, vice president biden, former president bill clinton, algore and john kerry, the former secretary of state should right now today raise $100 million which they can do if they put the money in an account now and use the money right now first of all to go into the states that democrats can win in the 50 congressional districts that are most likely to turn over for democrats. and play war. raise the money, go into those states and register voters and build a party. use that money that those people can raise in a day if they choose to. the top democrats in the country and use it to retract the top democrats to be recruited in the district and make a stand worthy of the crisis that america faces
4:43 am
when democracy is under attack by putin in russia in country after country and the republicans accused the democrats of supporting the shooting of republican congressmen. i do want to say real quick, this is a historic day on cnn. first we have the senate republican from nevada accusing the republican leader in the senate and others of lying about lowering insurance premiums which they are lying about it and now we have president trump ended a year of lying apparently and said that the russians did really try to elect him president. >> and questioning the work that president obama did to troy to stop it. let me ask you about the potential that nancy pelosi will be -- will step down. let's listen to what she said just a couple of days ago. >> i think i'm worth the trouble. i love the fray, i'm not -- i
4:44 am
know i'm not disrespectful of people's views. i respect any opinion that they have, but my decision about how long i stay is not up to them. >> and we can put up on the screen how much money she raised in 2016. $140 million plus. any potential that there's going to be replacement for the democratic leader? >> well, i think that that again is up to the democratic caucus and if these members who are speaking up against her want to put their name into the ring to run against her, then god bless them. they should go do it. look, a healthy, emotional and passionate conversation about where the party needs to go moving forward is always a great thing. talk about messaging, we should talk about tactics. we should talk about whether our leader is the right one moving forward. those are great things to talk about but right now what
4:45 am
beshould all be focusing on is this immoral health karr bill that itroer iing to take away coverage to millions of americans. nancy pelosi has been a terrific leader. it is not her fault that democrats lost these last four special elections which is what, you know, republicans are trying to blame on her and even some democrats. these elections took place in ruby bright states and it's not her fault that hillary clinton lost in 2016. it's because she's -- but here's the point. do you think that if she stepped down they would stop using her as that lightning rod? republicans will you any tang tick that they can because they are focused on frs of all, for her, however effective she has been.
