>> this is trump's vietnam. >> there was nothing that would lead anyone to believe there was anything other than a discussion about adoption. >> the question is why is jared kushner still in the white house. >> why should we believe anything when they have such a track record of lying. >> this is "new day." >> welcome to your "new day." it is tuesday, july 18th, 8:00 in the east. first the president dealt a major blow as his health care bill has gone down and he is in blame mode. blaming democrats, blaming republicans, for the failure to repeal and replace obama care. it came to pass after two more senators announced their opposition last night while the president was hosting a dinner

with other senators trying to gain support. now they're pushing for a repeal without a replacement plan. let's start with suzanne malvo. >> it is a devastating blow to donald trump. the president weighing in this morning with his angry tweets says we were let down by all of the democrats and a few republicans. most republicans were loyal, terrific, and worked really hard, we will return. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell giving up, pushing to repeal obama care now without a replacement in place. the latest plan collapsing

mcconnell still planning to hold a vote in the coming days on a 2015 measure that would repeal obama care, but delay it taking effect if for two years while a replacement bill is crafted. president trump saying that they should just repeal obama care now and work from a clean slate. something that has little to no chance of passing. the president's proposal starting the effort from the promise he made on the campaign trail. >> repeal and replace. repeal and replace. repeal it, replace it. >> he was trying to drum up

support of health care on monday night. the senators have announced their opposition. the president expressing optimism early in the day. >> they're great people. some states need this, some need that, but we're getting it together and it is going to happen, right, mike? >> a democratic minority leader, chuck schumer, immediately celebrating the defeat, the second failure of trump care is proved positive. as republicans continue to be split about the path forward, and moderates like senator john mccain calling for bipartisanship. mccain suggesting they get input from members of both parties as they work to produce future legislation. >> mcconnell's last ditch effort

to repeal will be a real test here for lawmakers whether or not they will shore up obama care or let it wither. republicans have said time and time again they believe that it is collapsing. >> those efforts are not being supported by the president. he is tweeting and here is what he said "as i always said, let obama care fail and then come together and do a great health care plan. stay tuned. think about what that would mean. allowing it to fail. how many people will be compromising like that. how many gaps in coverage. >> he is saying just let it be, let people get really disfied -- satisfied with it. so he is saying let it fail.

>> but there is a price. it is not just like the date passing and now you have to do something, lives will be effected very negatively. >> i'm thinking he is saying then people will be motivated. >> they will go through extreme pain. let's bring in chris, associate editor, and john avalon. he was saying okay, pass it to the amateurs. what was so much more important than what we were saying? >> in an earlier tweet, the president backed the whole strategy up, just repeal it, let the votes burn, and that will force everyone to come together. >> yes, this a later tweet,

right, he seems to be says let it continue on it's current course. whether or not they make a clear distinction, it is a little unclear. what has been proposed by the president in the past, be vote for the repeal. in a fashional world, that will be great. >> both of these options, if you want to think of them separately, lead you to a reality that he sees it as satisfactory to allow people to have pain in their lives if it gets us to a situation.

>> he wants to find something, he wants a win. he is into that photo op. he made very clear he would sign whatever republicans could pass, and i don't think he necessarily thinks of the consequences politically or in real world terms. i also think these two tweets, last night about 10:00, he does not have even the most basic grasp of the legislative process and how it works. i think she che is con flaflati right? in the wake of the announcements last night, it was that we should repeal this, something he has said before. repeal it and then replace it.

today, 12 hours later, it is let the bill die. he doesn't know the difference is the conclusion that i'm left with if he does know the difference, he would know those two things are totally contradicto contradictory. that's not the same thing at all. and it makes mitch mcconnell's life that much more difficult given that he was saying we're going to take a straight repeal. now the president is saying forget that. >> let's just go with -- so the most recent tweet suggest letting it wither on the vine, and it could be a canny strategy because then democrats are left holding the bag of, oh, there are problems with obama care and now we have to fix them. put it back in the democrat's lap and they have to fix it. >> i think that's what he hopes, but i have spoken to republicans

privately that had promises for seven years. but what you get in return will be so inexsentive, so high quality, so much better, and after that pie in the sky promise, we ended up with nothing, so all along he talked about working with dcs if they fail, and then delay for two years because he knows they know the outcome and that they're not going to get to a better place. earn they know it is bad politics. so i think there is a real divide here for the path forward, and if you punish

someone like dean heller. mcconnell slipped out, they had to pull the ads. there will be a conversation, many of them, in the days to come about whether or not it will come. whether or not they do a little bit to shore up the markets and prevent the free fall from happening faster, and then move on to tacx reform, or if they think it can make it a plan, but trump is a good avenger. he wants to find an enemy and he is trying to make it the

democrats. >> it is not working so well right now in the other situations, basically. the person at the center of it is his son. blaming him will probably not work well. there is a scathing editorial in the "wall street journal." special council robert mueller are investigating the russia. denouncing leaks as fake news won't wash as a counter strategy beyond his base. his latest 36% approval rating shows. what do you see on this one? >> i think the wall street journal editorial page tried to find common cause, but there are

multiple voices speaking for him. when they take this, it was designed to get republicans attention as well as the president, it is serious tough luck. a reality check, and they're right about the stakes. and the denial in the trump camp, 36% is sufficient as lock -- long as you have your base we'll pull it out somehow. >> chris, there was another possibly delusional moment yesterday and that was in the white house press briefing that is just audio only, and sean spicer, the press secretary, trying to explain this meeting between don junior, paul manafort -- get into your time machine and listen to what sean spicer said yesterday. >> there was nothing as far as we know that would lead anyone to believe there was anything

other than the russian adoptions. >> never mentioning the fact that -- >> so that is funny. for real, what is sean spicer doing? >> short answer, i have no idea. longish answer, i think they continue to try to process a totally alternate set of facts that are not factual under the belief that they will muddy the waters, that their base will respond, and that will be taken as the truth. i think it is destructive for a number of reasons, knowningly establishing a set of facts that are not this is donald trump

regarding that, that is what is difficult here for me as a journalist. there is no way sean spicer thinks there is every reason to believe that this was about adoption. the eldest son said very clearly in that e-mail exchange that this was about getting dirt on hillary clinton. what do we do? >> that is a key question. we can't come out with a termtive facts and muddy the water. what are they doing?

in the state of their soul. they know it is wrong. they know it is a lie. >> panel, thank you very much. >> senator mcconnell is changing gears, a full repeal of obama care. will they ask democrats to help with a new plan? first guarantee...ustomer your only worry... will be navigating the local traffic. get help with hotels, free twenty-four-hour flight changes, and our price match guarantee. travelocity.® wander wisely.™

president trump is blaming democrats and some republicans after a bill collapsed last night. he is tweeting as i always said, let balm care fail, and then come together for a great mcplan, stay tuned. this contradicts a plan he said last night. jackie spear is joining us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> nose two messages are contradictory. one is repeal obama care, and the other is just let obama care and his flaws be flown to the world. what do you think the next step is? >> it has been all about

sabotaging the bill. and now we know that the majority of americans support the affordable care act, and everyone effort to redefine it has trailed. and i think it is time for the republicans and the democrats to come together to fix the affordable care act. there are things we can do just creating certainty in the season, dropping the trice of the premium by 19%. it allowed insurers to benefit when they had too many sick people, that would also reduce premiums by 14%. and this is more when it comes to prip drugs, all of those

things should take place. >> look, senator john mccain agrees, he put out a statement that he thinks the democrats should be involved, but i don't have to tell you, so is the onus on the it democrats now? >> we can't do anything unless we have the support of the majority. this is on their place, this is something they wanted to do to do what is in the best interest of the american people. and that is to have an insurance product that everyone can embrace that includes no up charges for pre-existing conditions. that there is no annual or lifetime limits. the american people are not

expected to understand the nuances of their insurance policy, but we are. and the annual limits and the lifetime limits are killers for anyone that gets a catastrophic illness. >> i want to talk to you about friday when they came in and testified in front of the intell committee. he said something to our drew griffin about you during all of this process. let me play this for you and get you to respond to his criticism. >> working to improove image? >> no, that is jackie spear relying on her interns too much for information. i was trying to help them explain why they took over ntb

intelligence network. and that down the line helped the kremlin that is not what i was trying. >> hi worked several years in russia and he is saying you exaggerated his role in russia. >> let's remember that he made his entire professional career about being a spin doctor. i would like to remind him to reread the guest editorial that he provided in 2004 in which he said that he was, he regretted the work he did for putin. he was an image consultant. he is a big player in the whole issue that relates to trump and his organization, and he is trying to make himself a primary star of it. i hope it works for him in terms of getting his radio show back,

but he is all about promoting himself. >> he said he shook putin's hand once, but what did he share with your committee, what did he tell you about the work he did for the trump campaign and if there was russian ties. >> his transcript has yet to be developed. we only have the benefit of those in the room. it was scheduled at the last minute on a friday when i had to give a speech and give a town hall in my district, so i was not there to participate, but from what i understand, he has a number of questions that he is going to have answered because it appeared he may have lied. >> one of your colleagues said it was the most fascinating three hours he every spernexpers in his five years with the house

of representatives. so something happened, and we look forward to finding out how it is coming along. when will you be able to reach some conclusions? >> we're a long way from that. we're just now beginning the process of interviewing most of the witnesses, and that will go on for the next three or four months. >> congresswoman jackie spears, thank you for being here. >> thank you, so much. how will repeal and replace play out for republicans. that subject of "the bottom line," next. that's it? yeah. ♪ everybody two seconds! ♪ "dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance..." through the tuition assistance program, every day mcdonald's helps more people go to college.

the president aware of the sixth month mark saying he passed more bills through the congress than any other president at this time. we did a fact check. not necessarily true, but a true reprotection of his desire to pump up the presidency. >> i think it is stimeid at this point. it is the first out of the gate moment for this trump presidency and it has fallen apart. the polls showing him with the lowest approval rating among anyone in the modern era. you have friendly places like the "wall street journal" editorial page tastarting to tu a little bit.

obviously we're only six months in. there is three-and-a-half years to go, but it's unclear right now how to turn it around. what proves so difficult is it. the power that controls every lever in washington. it is conventionally more popular things to deal with than health care. you see how tough it will be. >> a, you bring in david gergen. that is what presidents tried in the past. or you do something popular in a bipartisan way for infrastructure and you do something on it's face that should be easier and gate win.

>> the president's position, there is almost no political incentive at the moment. you're right both parties have talked about infrastructure and they have talked about working on it together, but we have seen precious little advancing on that front. as you know the house republicans have put out their budget plan, and they have started to work on the process of tax reform. according to the rules they can do tax reform with just 50 votes in the senate. >> also, you have hanging over all of these policy considerations, are the deep issues about the reliability of the administration in light of the russian investigation. it is a latest developments for

donald trump jr. >> yes, it is clearly in the way of everything else they would rather be talking about. it is no doubt having some impact with independents that we see leaving the president's support. as the wall street journal showing he flipped barack obama to him. his approval rating was a little under water, it is clearly some dissipating going on. he still has his very core support, but if all you have is your very solid core support, it is hard to convince battleground state members to get on board and join you in moving something forward, especially with the swirl of the russian controversy. this is not like he can't turn it around. he has a lot of time ahead of him, but at the six month mark,

you have to stay it is a stunted presidency, and nothing looks like it will be an easy big win for the presidency. >> you touched on tax reform. everyone says that is what they would like to do, but they have approaches it from completely different sides. >> yes, it will be no doubt, it will be one of those things seen as a popular item for -- each party slices differently. they are the ones in charge of everything. the white house put out the budget proposal, they put out negotiations, but you're seeing the house freedom call kwus saying that the cuts don't go deep enough. there will be an intraparty battle on these as well.

>> he does have more going for him as well. he has momentum in the markets. we see the consumer confidence in how they see the economy as up. this is made in america week, let's see how the president plays that. we'll come back to you for the bottom line on that. thank you very much. >>. >> thank you, so this story that is haunting so many people. a police officer shot a bride to be who had called 911 for help, what happened, the mayor of minneapolis joins us next.

disturbed. if critical againincidents like, we have an independent investigation. so to make sure that we respect and that we respect the integrity of the investigation, i don't know more than anyone else does. i ask they give as much information as they can as quickly as possible. >> have you tried to call the police chief. >> certainly i have been in contact with the police chief. the assistance chief is the lead here on the ground, and he is doing a great job. >> well, because he is with the minneapolis police department, he is not conducting the

investigation, that is happening with a different agency at the state level. they are certainly in -- we're in contact with them, we're cop rating with that informatiovest but i don't have anything until it is made available. >> what have they told you at least about why the body cameras were not activated and turned on. >> the independent investigation, they are are asking the questions, we don't have those answers. have have the same questioning, why were the cameras not on, what happened, that is the questions that we want the answers to, most especially the family, and we're hoping the investigation is released as swiftly as it can be without

jeopardizing the investigation. >> i understand but surely they can tell you, did they have a policy of not turning on cameras? were they broken? was it just these two officers that didn't turn on their cameras? i understand, i hear you, you're trying not to get in the way of the investigation, but surely the officers on the ground have some information they can share. >> certainly we have a policy that governors the use of the body cameras. since we don't know what happened in the incident, i don't know why they were not turned on. . the investigators are doing their best to ask the questions. if the information comes back and we find out it was a policy violation, that's it's own issue. but i share the questions you have. why were they not turned on and

how and when can we know and find out. >> two officers we understand are now on administrative leave. one of them, issues his condolences through his attorney to the family. he also said we would like to ds say more and we will in the future. when do you think we will be able to hear more? >> i don't know, that is a question for the investigators, again, because they are the ones that took statements from the officers involved. my hope is that information will come as quickly as it can for a family and a community that is grieving, baffled, disturbed, and needs answers. >> what have you heard from them. the if i january they that lost his bride to be, what do you

feel when you hear him saying please let me know. >> i have spoken with him directly. i share the questions that he has. treating the bureau of apprehension to do a thorough investigation as quickly as they can, but i say my condolences to you. how can i be of service to you? i stand ready to be of service to him and his family. >> please come back when you get information and we're thighing about your entire city in this trying time. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> do you remember the film "an inconvenient truth"? it has been a decade since that

ten years since "an inconvenient truth"? there was a need for a sequel says al gore and the film makers and here is a sneak peek. >> we're close in this movement to a tipping point beyond which this moment, like the antiapartheid movement, the movement for ga rights is resolved into a choice between right and wrong. and because of who we are, the outcome is ordained and it is right to save the future for humanity. it is wrong to pollute this earth and destroy the climate balance. >> an interesting shift in this film. you will follow him in his efforts. you can see it in select slaters

on july 20th. good to have you both. let's deal with this proposition of what this film sets ten years later. >> we got a call whether or not there was a need for a sequel, when they would do it, when would be the right time and they decided on ten years later for a number of reasons. climate related events, national events have v gotten worse. things are a lot worse in terms of the natural world, but on an exciting and hopeful note the solutions are in place now and they were not in place the way they were ten years ago. there is a cost down curve for solar and wind and getting individuals to understand that was the real mission of the film. >> are there things that had to be amended. are there things we know better?

productio productions -- >> he went to green melt and the ice melt is worse than predicting. it is happening faster and more furious than science predicted. bonnly was saying the cost down curve and the sustain able energy revolution is also happening faster. so now there is a drama going on between the incredible hope of where we might go, for getting our electricity, and the climate. mothernature screaming louder than ever about the crisis. >> ae when just heard critics shouting louder than ever. also in this most recent election. you heard a push from the president and his party back towards the coal sector. we went so green, so fast, it was way too aggressive. the industries are super

subsidized, that's why they're doing well, and if you took away the subsidies and government waste, the businesses are fake, get back to coal and oil, what do you say? >> the energy revolution is all about alternative energy. the cost down curves are irrefutable. it makes sense for small towns and cities to take on alternative energy as a way to bring economic reality and survival back to their towns. it is -- i don't know if getting into the subsidy argument is smart, the truth is that if you just talk to the people in the industry, this is the way to go. >> all right, so we have an announcement to make to our viewers. two weeks from today, former vice president al gore will join us for "the climate crisis." it is a cnn town hall event. it is tuesday, august 1th, at

9:00 p.m. he seems to have found his voice. >> that was al gore unplugged. if people only remember him from his time as a vp or running for president, he seems to have also have gone through an evolution. >> one of the amazing things of the film is you meet al gore the person. we're following him in bilateral meetings. you really get to see al gore the man. i think that people will see a different al gore than they news when he was running for president, for example. he found his deep passion in a second career he built for himself since the loss in 2000. >> and we know he believes that the decision for the u.s. to pull out of the paris climate accord will loom large and i'm sure he will take that on in the town hall. thank you very much. >> thank you for having us. >> how about a little good stuff for you, next. yup.
