the effort to get appropriations in the budget meant the administration was giving up on having mexico pay for the wall, as the president and other mexican politicians have repeated what the governor has said. what is your response to that? >> i have taken that question before, so i'll give you the same answer. look, we had an tune to move quicker than we expected. because president obama was not able to sign a full term cr in october of last year, we actually got a bite at the 2017 apple. think about that for a second. if president obama had been able to pass a 12 month cr in october 2016, we wouldn't even be here because all of this would have been dealt with and none of this would have been available. none of the additional spending for defense, school choice, none of that would have been there. we got an unexpected bite at the apple and we were happy to get it. my job is to spend the money.

>> looks like you a wall already. >> this is an example, the picture i'm looking for is the picture of the levy wall. this is what it looks like when it's currently built. that was -- we don't have the other picture there. of the cyclone fencing. this will be replacing cyclone fencing. other pictures we have -- >> you need a wall in all these places where you have existing fences? is that a good way to spend the government's money? >> i think securing the border is a good way to do it. there are places where technology will help. there are places where we can start land acquisition for next year. we can do that in this bill. we can star ramping up to hire new border agents. we got additional beds in detention centers so we can end catch and release. one of the difficulties we had on catch and relief, the beds were full. when you look at it, it's a

tremendous improvement. >> there will be a wall across the entire u.s. mexico boarder? >> as part of this bill, no. you have a couple hundred million dollars to do it. this is a several year process. you could not build all of that in one year. yes, sir? >> yesterday, this bill you said, quote, i think it's great that the democrats like the bill. we think it's a great deal for the administration as well. >> yeah. >> so what changed? yesterday it was great that they were pleased with it and today it's an outrage, it's spiking the football. what changed? >> what i said yesterday is what you ordinarily say when you walk out of a negotiation which is we got some of what we want, they got some of they want, equally happy or equally unhappy or we're a little more happy. they're walking around trying to make it look like they pulled a fast one over on the president. i just won't stand for it. i'd rather they be truthful. >> you were saying earlier that

the obama subsidies are not part of this bill. >> correct. >> does that mean this administration will start paying them? >> we have not made any decision. the payments are due i believe the 20th or 21st of every month. we have not made any decisions at all on may. >> the follow-up to the earlier question is what do you say to the members of your own party who say this particular negotiation didn't have what they wanted? some of them tweeted something out earlier. they're not happy with it. >> keep in mind until right now i don't think anybody knew about this. what you heard us say is no bricks and mortar, all about technology. >> about the deal itself. >> again, as i said, i'd be happy to have this discussion with everybody and convince anybody on the right that this was a great deal. >> what about those on the right are not happy of it. they've seen it? >> my guess is they have not.

>> if the president wants the government to shut down, he can just veto the new spending bill. why doesen he do that? >> i think we're giving them a chance to work. we're trying to show we can govern. we can. we can do it effectively. we have. we can also fund our priorities, which this does. why would you shut it down when you've cut a fairly good deal for the american people and funded your priorities? i think what you heard this morning was his sense of frustration over how he's being mistreated by the democrats on this bipartisan piece of legislation. in the back standing up. yes, sir. >> the president today talked about a potential shutdown. you say democrats wanted to do what they did so they could force a shutdown. we've heard the term shutdown a lot here. i think there's probably some folks at home who are saying my gosh, we're barely 100 days into this, what does that mean for tax reform? what does that mean for infrastructure bill? this is just year one.

what does it say to the tone that we're already talking about a shutdown? >> i think the tone is they have a president that can run the place. you have a president able to work with democrats and republicans. again, a little disappointed in the way the democrats have acted after the deal was put together. but you've got a president who knows what he's doing when it comes to running the country. there were a lot of people absolutely convinced, including when he hired me to be the director, that we were going to have a government shutdown. the message we're sending is that we are competent. we know what we're doing. the country is safe in our hands. we think this goes to prove that. >> you said the negotiations -- >> follow up on that. i'm a little confused. you said the democrats wanted a shutdown. >> yeah i really believe that. >> if the president tweeted our country needs a good shutdown in september. can you explain that? if there is a shutdown in september, wouldn't it clearly be the president's fault?

he's the one calling for it. >> the '18 budget comes up in september. between now and then you've got tax reform, infrastructure, the debt ceiling. there's a lot of things to deal with between now and september. again, what you heard the president express this morning was frustration over how he's been treated over part of negotiation. i think there's a lot of things will happen between now and then to let us know we're moving in the right direction. to your first point about the democrats, it was a little bit reported that there was a great deal of disagreement within the house democrats over this deal. that mrs. pelosi was absolutely convinced when we said we wanted money for the wall, that we would shut the government down. when we took that request off of the table, they were flabbergasted. they were stuck in a circumstance where they were possibly shutting the government down. their base will not be happy to know, we are billing this. we are taking their taxpayer

money to build this. my guess is that's not gonna sell very well for some folks on the left. >> you spoke ab this being a bipartisan bill because it needs to be. the president also is floating the idea of doing away with the legislative filibuster. is that a good idea? is that what you need? >> clearly you don't need it because we did this. the question is would it be easier? would the results be even better? would there be less sort of animosity? maybe. i know there has been some discussion on the hill over the course of the last couple years for limiting the filibuster when it comes to appropriations bills. keep in mind, one of the reasons we're here an we have a discussion about a shutdown is the appropriations process is broken. the way it used to work, the house passing an appropriations bill on a topic, say military construction and va. the senate passing a bill on the same thing. then going to conference committee and putting that bill on the desk for the president. i don't think that's functioned in the last decade.

i have been here since 2011. >> why do you want the change now? >> we want to go back to that process. the reason we can't is because the senate is require 60 votes on every single appropriations bill. it forces a discussion ab shutdowns which are not productive. >> what does the president say -- thanks for being here today. how does the president define a good shutdown? >> i don't know. we haven't had one. i think a good shutdown, if there is such a thing. i said this before to you. i said it during my confirmation. it's not a goal. it's not a negotiating tool. >> the president advocated it -- >> to the extent the president advocated one today, it would be one that fixes this town. one that drives the message back home to people that it was as broken as they thought that it was when they voted for donald trump. if that's what is necessary to do to fix washington, d.c., that would be a good shutdown. >> to be clear in the last shutdown, 800,000 federal employees were indefinitely

furloughed, 1.3 million were required to work without knowing when they would get paid. >> you an i have had these discussions before. every single one of those folks got paid. everybody always has. during the temporary lapses in appropriation. it's not desirable. you asked what a good one would look like. a good one would be something that fixes washington, d.c. permanently. yes, sir? >> as you walked into a meeting an were very frank footed about defunding. what happened between that meeting and now. >> that meeting took place in early march. we came late to the game. i got put in this office i think february 17th. the first week in march we were meeting with ap praoep kwraeuters to lay out the president's priorities which, again, they were at that time, we wanted defense increases, border security including the

wall, we wanted targeted reductions in spending and sanctuary cities. we had to give up on the last two as part of the negotiation. that's what you do in a negotiation. we got as part of that negotiation something we didn't ask for. it wasn't on our first list. the school choice. so that is the nature of a back and forth. for the reasons i have laid out here today, i think we got a tremendous deal. >> you said in your statement before you started taking questions that the president delivered on his promises and got his funding. no funding for the border wall. that's a replacement. no funding for a new wall on the u.s. southern border. planned parenthood. >> let me ask you a question. i'll let you finish. when you heard ab the deal yesterday, when you -- i'll be happy to let you go if you let me answer your question. i won't jump to another person.

>> thank you very much. as far as the priorities that you say are funded, the border wall. no new border wall along the u.s. southern border. planned parenthood was not defunded. you've already said that another priority of the president was not carried through and that was sanctuary cities. to me how yout you said before and square what you said before with the actual budget is concerned. >> sure. thank you. thank you for fixing your question. let me ask you a question. when you heard the last 48 hours about the deal, did you think we could build it? i bet you didn't. nobody did. okay. is it a replacement for existing wall? yeah, that's fine. is it new wall? no. this is what's out there right now. okay. this is what's going to be put in as a result of this bill. okay. that is better border security. you can call it new wall. you can call it replacement. call it whatever you want to. the president's prior was to secure the southern border an

that's what this does. you asked a couple questions. young woman in the pink then and the young woman in the orange. then we'll take another couple. but let me finish. planned parenthood. okay. planned parenthood. we had a good discussion. that's a fair question. we had a good discussion about that. what we decided after talking to some of our most pro life supporters on the hill was that this president already made his case fairly strongly for his pro life position. you saw a sign cra, saw mike pence have to break the tie on that vote. okay. on the states with the med kay funding. you've seen the executive orsd. this bill includes all of the traditional protections for the pro life movement including the hyde amendment. what we simply decided was look, if you want to take a vote on the hill to stake out your position on planned parenthood, do it on the healthcare bill. the outside groups agreed on that. if you want to prove to the folks back home that you are pro

life, then vote for the planned parenthood bill. last thing. sanctuary city. that was something we gave up in the negotiation. but the end of the day here's how i look you in the face, folks back home and say the president got his priorities funded. more money for the military. more money for southern border security and more school choice. those are the same priorities i talked ab in march when i laid out the budget. that's how i can tell you that i'm absolutely satisfied we funded our priorities. >> like that border wall. the new border wall, will it look like that? >> this is what is permitted in the bill. >> will the new one that's built along the u.s. southerner border look like that border wall? >> you have a border in certain places, yes. the other photo we can't get up. i'm not really sure what your question is. >> you're going to replace that wall with the new wall. seems to be a short term fix. >> that's a 20 foot high steel wall. that is not a temporary short term fix. i'll go to the next one.

promised the young lady in the pink. >> i'll follow-up on that. where is that being built? how many miles will you get out of it? >> i don't know where it's being built. we haven't done the per mile. i think the total spending is $347 million on that. but we haven't done the math. >> what does that cover? >> it's more expensive to build the wall in certain places. this is going to be replacement. it's cheaper than building new wall because we already have land acquisition here. we have the rights to build it. there's probably roads throughout to service it. when you're building new walls you're starting from scratch so you have to build the infrastructure. we haven't done the math on how many miles we can build and where it will be. what we do know is we have several hundreds of millions of dollars to do this. do you want to follow up on that? >> yes. when can we see construction? when do you think you'll put up a wall? >> i don't know if it's this exact construction because i

don't know where this photograph is. this is being installed on the southern border today. >> yes. two topics for the president. when it comes to the wall and this budget for the wall, it's very expensive. that's one piece of the immigration issue. what about the larger piece of the immigration issue? where's the funding when it comes to fixing the issue where you have people overstaying their visas? that's more of an immigration issue in the past and even now that's happening versus just dealing with the southern border. you have immigrants from all countries coming here, versus just the southern border. what moneys are going into that? >> that's a fair question. it's probably not going to be satisfactory but this is a pure funding bill. yes thrrbg are certain policies that are wrapped up into it. both parties will probably push back if you tried to tie something as large as immigration reform to a funding bill. they don't like to do that. they will tell you they're not

supposed to authorize on an appropriations bill. this is a one-year funding bill. it is not supposed to be a carrier for a long term policy change. obviously from time to time they make exceptions to that, but they don't really like to do that on the hill. that's a technical answer to your question. the larger question ab why do this and ignore the other topics -- >> sandra: that's mick mulvaney talking about the president's budget plan. i'm sandra smith. that is the daily white house press briefing. but mulvaney has been speaking. before that john kelly took to the podium. while all of that was happening, we just heard from hillary clinton speaking at length on the outcome of the election an what may have cost her winning the white house. we want to get straight to that. joining me for reaction, simon rosenberg and president and founder of ndn. all right. so simon, matt, i want to get

straight to hillary clinton speaking right here in new york city. talking about she was on the way to winning and then this happened. listen. >> but i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim comey's letter on october 28th and russian wiki leaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but not scared off. >> sandra: discussing her election. she also added to that i take personal responsibility for that loss. what did you make of her words? >> well, i appreciate the fact that she might have said that she took responsibility for the loss, but she failed to take responsibility for her actions. hillary clinton is not the president today because she too often lied. she too often broke government regulations on how she was handling classified information in her e-mails, and the clinton

foundation was, by many account, a scam to get their family wealthy. that's why she's not the president. i think there's a great chance she would have been the president if they had never set up that shakedown operation called the clinton foundation. and if she had simply followed the rules on her e mails. the reason the wiki leaks became an issue. i think it was wrong for wiki leaks to make that information public. the reason it became an issue is because hillary clinton didn't turn over her e-mails. that is where this all comes down to. she has the responsibility 100% on her own shoulders. >> sandra: simon, we all just heard from the former secretary of state talking about the military strike. president trump's military strike in syria. talking about the fact that she did support that. listen. >> yes, i did support it. i didn't publicly support it because there was -- that wasn't my role. but i did support it.

but i am not convinced that it really made much of a difference. an i don't know what kind of potentially, you know, back room deals were made with the russians. >> sandra: simon, she supported the military strike, but she doesn't know what kind of back room deals were made with the russians. >> listen, i think the issue donald trump looking the other way, as russia continues to be an aggressive force around the world is a very legitimate foreign policy issue for the country. you use whatever words you want. we see them funding the taliban. we see them violating a nuclear treaty in europe. we see them having a new beach head in nicaragua. everywhere you look the russians are on the march. this administration seems to be appeasing them at every step. i hope this becomes a more important topic of conversation. to me it's equal to what's happening in syria and north korea. i'm with hillary on this one.

>> sandra: matt? >> i see no appeasement. if anything, people are saying they're surprised how aggressive donald trump has been, first of all, with his military action in syria and the way that the two countries are talking to each other. there was a phone call today that i read ab. i don't think we've gotten a read out about it yet. donald trump has taken the responsible decisions to make sure that the russian bear does not feel like he can go anywhere and do anything it wants. i think that's a good development. >> sandra: all right. i also want to get to what we just heard coming out of the white house, simon and matt. we just heard from dhs secretary john kelly saying i believe this budget will help us to begin to improve the way we do business to make this country more secure. then you saw mick mulvaney step up. he said if the democrats aren't going to be any better, a shutdown may be inevitable. simon? >> well, it's a new administration. you know, governing is really hard. democrats have a seat at the

table. what i'm surprised about with mick mulvaney's tone today was that in every deal like this, both sides get something. that's the way it works. it sounds like to me both sides got something. he was happy about the stuff they got. democrats are happy about the stuff they got. i don't know why he was whining so much in the press briefing today. donald trump had some significant victories that they should be proud of. >> sandra: he did go, matt, further and say democrats wanted a shutdown. they're desperate to make this administration look like it can't function. >> yeah, that's right. let's face it, democrats benefit from shutdowns, republicans hardly ever benefit politically from shutdowns. i think the president is right, sometimes you need a shock to the system. there's nobody in this country is gonna think this budget deal changes the way government does business. nobody looks at this and says great government at work. they're going to have to have a lot of democrats to pass this

thing. this is very disspiriting to most republicans. >> sandra: i think you just heard the word whining. secretary kelly used it to tout a lot of the accomplishments in the very short time we have seen the trump administration at work. he said in the past 100 days we have been incredibly successful in endorsing the laws and defending the nation. he was very stern with with that. >> is that -- well, you know, we've gotten partial data. usually we get data at the end of the year. i know a lot about this border stuff. the truth is, the flow of undocumented immigrants has been plummeting for years. we've had no increase in the last decade. both parties have invested tense of billions in border security an it's had a real impact. i do think we've made a lot of progress. there's more that can be done. i do think the administration is taking a little too much credit for work that was being done by others, including members of

their own party. >> sandra: let's get back to mick mulvaney. he's still speaking at the white house press briefing room. matt, simon, thanks for hanging on. let's go back to the white house. >> we're very pleased with the deal today. if you have any follow-up questions, you can always call mr. sartagi. thank you for letting me have a shout out to my wife. >> can you talk about where the wall is so we can identify locations. sean? sean? sean! come on, sean. sean. >> sandra: okay. well, that was clearly an upset white house press briefing room. sean spicer's not taking to the podium. i guess they expected after secretary kelly and director mulvaney that he would be. but he did not. we've got our political panel standing by. matt, simon, thanks for hanging on with us. you did hear some moaning an groaning. there are many questions left

unanswered. spending bill is front an center, matt. you heard over and over again from both of them. mulvaney and kelly, that this is not a win for democrats, not a win for republicans. this is a win for the american people. >> look, it's a bipartisan budget agreement because, as mick mulvaney said, it takes 60 votes to get this through the senate. republicans do often need to be reminded that, yes, we have a majority in the state with 52, but we don't have 60. you have to deal with the other party. i just think that this is a deal that makes republicans hold their nose. it's kiss your sister time. they better have lined up a lot of democrats to pass this thing because it's going to be hard for them after they take another tough vote on healthcare this week. >> sandra: simon, it was just several hours that the president tweeted this really setting the tone saying the reason for the plan negotiated between the republicans and democrats is that we need 60 votes in the

senate which are not there. we either elect more republican senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. our country needs a good shutdown in september to fix the mess. simon? >> filibuster's been in place since the begin of our republic. it's been there for every congress an every president throughout american history. they've all managed to deal with it. time for donald trump to play by the rules that have been in place and have worked very well for this country for a very long time. it's may and this budget that we just finished this week is for a budget that was introduced in the beginning of 2016. that's 14 months after this budget was introduced. where's the president's budget? we never had, since world war ii ended, a president not release their budget for the coming fiscal year this late. i think the most important thing now is the president was cleaning up this thing that was left for him by others. now it's time for him to put his own budget on the table.

let's get on with that. >> don't worry. it's coming. >> when, matt? >> simon, you won't like it. i know. >> i'm getting ready, matt. >> sandra: real quick, were you surprised that there was no questions thrown out there from reporters in the room about the phone call to vladamir putin that was taking place at noon today? >> this is the era of trump. we have to remember there's always so many things happening at the same time that literally you have what's going on in north korea. you have a really important critical phone call with vladamir putin. at the same time, you have this budget agreement that came out. at the same time they're trying to get the votes on healthcare. i don't know whether it's because donald trump has created so much change or that the american people are living in a very interesting political time. it's hard to keep up. >> sandra: remember, this is the first time the two leaders will be speaking since donald trump said back in april that he believed u.s./russian relations were at an all-time low.

so we will all be curious to see what comes out of that phone call. matt, simon, thank you. the president speaking by phone with president -- russian president putin. we have no details on that from the briefing. we're gonna wait for those to come in. the big question is, can the two men make progress on syria or at least on improving relations? >> right now we're not getting along with russia at all. we may be at an all-time low in terms of relationship with russia. this is built for a long period of time. at red lobster's seafood trios

>> sandra: house republicans say they're closer to reaching an agreement on a bill to replace obama care but still don't know if they can pass it. peter ducey live on capitol hill. how close are gop leaders to being able to schedule a repeal and replace vote >> reporter: just a few minutes ago kevin mccarthy walked by here and i asked him how close are you getting on healthcare to a vote? he said very close. so it does sound like leadership has a little bit more arm twisting to do. some prominent lawmakers make it sound like they're running out of time to do it. couple dozen votes from being able to vote on healthcare? >> hopefully we're just a handful. i think at this point there's still a lot of undecideds.

generally this late stage of the game, the undecideds, you can address their concerns. >> reporter: if there's not a vote this week do you have any idea when it will be? >> i don't. so let's do it this week. >> reporter: leadership got some bad news. congressman fred upton former head of energy and commerce committee which worked a lot on repealing and replacing obamacare while he was in charge is gonna vote no. he thinks amendment to the language of the bill are damaging to coverage for preexisting conditions. >> i'm not at all comfortable with removing that protection. i have supported the practice of not allowing preexisting illnesses to be discriminated against from the very get go. this amendment torpedos that and i told the leadership i cannot support this bill with this provision in it. >> reporter: and the loss of upton's support puts leadership right on the cliff of not having

enough support to take this bill to the floor now or ever because right now the fox green room has counted about 20gop members who are firm nos and they can only afford to lose 22. >> sandra: how are democrats reacting to the gop struggles at this point? >> reporter: they're saying recent history proves that this bill will fail. >> we as democrats see very little if any difference between this bill and the bill that failed just a few weeks ago. one thing that hasn't changed is that if they pass this version of the health care bill, 24 million americans who had some form of coverage today will lose that coverage. >> reporter: democrats may not have a chance to vote against this bill because if republican leadership cannot get together some more of its own members to say they will vote yes on the american healthcare act, then it's never gonna see the floor anyway. sandra? >> reporter: peter ducey, thank

you. >> sandra: president trump talking to russian president putin where they're expected to discuss north korea and syria. we have no details yet from the white house briefing since they last week, mr. trump ordered a strike on a military base in syria. u.s. military intelligence showed that base was where a deadly chemical attack was launched from. joining us now to discuss is tara mueller senior policy adviser at the counter extremism project and former cia military analyst. tara, thank you for joining us. we don't have any details or specifics out of that conversation at this point. what might have they discussed? what did that conversation, if you were to take a guess, look like? >> i can speculate about what the conversation probably touched upon. what will really be interesting is the tone. i guarantee that syria was on the agenda. what the russians and the united

states can possibly do with regard to assad. they obviously have difference of opinion there. whrorpb we can perhaps get any opinion on a cease fire area. putin was trying to push some safe zone areas in syria. i think that's a chemical strike probably also came up on the call. obviously the united states taking a strong stand in retaliation for the chemical weapons use and russia pushing back on that. so i think those were the two probably top items. but again, this is all speculative since there was no readout and since sean spicer did not address this in the press conference today. other issues that could have also come up. ukraine might have been on the agenda, but it's possible trump stayed away from that. syria was probably front and center. >> sandra: to be fair, sean spicer didn't ever step up to the podium today so there wasn't a chance for questions to be fired off at him. while we wait for the details of this conversation to come out, i'll remind everyone that this is the first time the two leaders have spoken since we heard from president trump just

a couple months ago saying he believed u.s./russian relations were at an all-time low. you have seen so much change since you heard donald trump on the campaign trail talking about vladamir putin. what should be the basis of that conversation? >> i think it is important. you always want to have outreach to adversaryial states. you also need to take a strong stand on the issues that are important to u.s. and national security. united states interests. i think it will be interesting to see, president trump before he was president was fairly apologetic toward a lot of russian behavior. we've seen shifts in that over the past month or so culminating in what i would say would be the syria strike because that's counter to what russia wanted in that case. so i think it will be interesting to see the tone. having said that, we don't always get full read outs of his calls. it's possible there will be a short brief description saying the issue areas discussed. it will be interesting to see

how this gets shaped in the upcoming month. you have merckle all meeting with russia. >> sandra: we've got the u.s. military confirming the thad missile defense system is now operational in south korea. that made big news, big headlines. can you explain to us what the purpose of that is and how it works. >> sure. this has been in the works for awhile. it seems that the process was sped up a bit now mostly because of the escalating crisis with north korea. the way it works in layman's terms. south korea gave us land. our equipment will be there. they're mobile launchers so you can move them around. certain types are missiles are launched at south korea from north korea, the thad system is able to intercept that basically upon entry as it's going to hit a potential target. it is very highly effective. having said that, it's still

possible to bombard it or overwhelm it potentially. the thing that's worth noting here is the reason that it's been put there now is because people are concerned that if the united states does potentially do something to north korea -- not saying we're going to. but if we do, i think north korea will undoubtedly retaliate and against whom might they retaliate? presumably south korea or japan or somebody in the region. that's the purpose of that. >> sandra: tara, we have to leave it there. president trump said he would meet with kim jong-un under the right circumstances. would that be good? >> the better thing would be a multilateral cooperative of multilateral diplomacy pulling in states like china an getting foreign officials together to try to see if there is a diplomatic solution while ramping up economic pressure and keeping all options on the table. >> sandra: thank you for joining us. >> thanks a lot for having me.

>> sandra: president trump facing mounting criticism for inviting the controversial president of the philippines to the white house. he has been accused of human rights vie layings for crackdowns in his country against drug users, journalists and political opponents. rich edson, he's getting bipartisan criticism? >> reporter: he is. president duterte is getting that criticism. the top democrat on the senate foreign relations committee said president trump should rescind that invitation. >> just sends the wrong signal. here you have a leader that has authorized killings, who's violated the human rights of its own citizens and the president of the united states giving him legitimacy. it challenges america's standing in regards to fighting on behalf

of human rights and good governments. >> reporter: john mccain just told fox news in an interview that the philippine leader was a dictator violating all basic human rights with extra judicial killings. the white house response to all of this, the state department response is that the united states and the philippines have a longstanding partnership and they want to get together to discuss north korea. back to you. >> sandra: all right, rich edson. more trouble in the skies. this time a fist fight between two passengers caught on camera. another brewing battle playing out on capitol hill as well. do the republicans have the votes to push forward on health care? we will ask them. >> the years of partisan bickering, gridlock, this bill is a clear win for the american people. very importantly, there is no long-term bailout for the insurance companies.

>> sandra: when the video of the incident first went viral, united stock took a nose dive along with the major market. but the airline slowly recovering. stocks right now up about 15 points in late afternoon trading. for more on the financial fallout, lori rothman joins us live on the floor of the new york stock exchange. i always say investigators memories are short. they'll go back and do a stock if they believe in the company. >> here's the deal with the airlines. they're all higher. especially continental seeing gains 3.5%. it's kind of surprising considering the grilling the ceo got on capitol hill. why do you think the stock would get hammered? couple reasons. delta reported strong earnings so that is helping revenue per passenger is up 1%. so that's great. it bodes well for the entire industry. with united, continental in

particular, the -- sorry. they're very busy on the floor of the exchange today. but the ceo was apologetic and physically outlined reform plans. they're going to spend more on customer compensation, staff training. but there's also some concern here going forward that thaoe costs added to higher labor costs and fuel costs could ultimately be a head wind for the airline industry. as for today, in the midst of the earnings season. they're coming in strong. so far with united the bookings are holding up. >> sandra: lori rothman on a busy floor of the new york stock exchange. house republican leaders are scrambling to shore up support for the health care bill. they've got enmembers of the freedom caucus on board but its fate is far from certain. president trufr urging members of congress to push the bill across the finish line during an event earlier at the white house. >> how's healthcare coming, folks? we're moving along? all right.

i think it's time now, right? they know it's time. >> sandra: joining me now, two members of the freedom caucus. alabama congressman mo brooks and virginia congressman dave brat. thanks to both of you for being here. congressman bratt, i'll start with you first. where is this going? you heard a very optimistic president trump there in the rose garden earlier today pushing, pushing this healthcare replacement plan. >> i think we've been within a handful of votes over the last couple days. i think they're working out one by one. preexisting conditions is the one area there's little uncertainty. we have three layers of protection for that case, and so i think leadership's doing a good job educating everyone. we're gonna come out with a yes probably by thur day. >> sandra: i want to go to congressman billy long of missouri, who he is a no at this

point. here's why he says he's a no. listen. i'm going to read what he said. i have all stated one of the good things about obamacare is people with preexisting could be covered. this congressman brooks? >> preexisting conditions is a tricky issue. the way we sought to resolve it is to defer that issue to the states to decide. in the absence of a state deciding that there will be no coverage of preexisting conditions or there might be some impact on the premiums associated with preexisting conditions. the law stays the same. unless the state of missouri tries to change it, there will be no change from obamacare to the american healthcare act. little puzzled by the comments of some of these congress men who are not in support. let me be clear ab a major amendment that was made that got

my vote. without going into detail, the american healthcare act as originally introduced according to the congressional budget office was going to increase health insurance costs, the premium, 15% to 20% over and above the increase in cost of obamacare. now with the amendment that we've been able to successfully put forward in conjunction with our brethren who are in the house freedom caucus, insurance premiums are projected to go down as much as 38%. that's a big change. that's a big difference. that's what my people sent me to washington, d.c. to try to do with healthcare costs. >> sandra: congressman bratt can i hear in your own words what brought you around? >> yeah. that's the same speech. we all ran. we wanted to repeal obamacare. this isn't a repeal. still a federal government project. so we wanted to put in an amendment like congressman brooks said, to get the price down. obamacare is the regulation. so if you don't touch the regulation, premiums still go up

by 30%. the average plan now cost a family of four $17,000. if prices keep going up 30% a year for three years, they'll double. that 17,000 will be $34,000 just for health care for your family. no one can deal with that. so we said we got to put something in to lower prices. that gets me to the yes. it's not ideal. the other thing that gets me to the yes is reconciliation ends in 25 days. so if anyone's out there. i got grass roots friends saying why are you going along with this? in 25 days we'll pivot to the democrats to get a healthcare bill. you won't like any of that. we have 25 days to get it right. this is our last chance to get price down with 51 votes in the senate. so this is it. >> sandra: is this it, congressman brooks? what happens politically? what is the fallout if the gop doesen get this done? >> i think the republican base ought to be upset with those

congress men who are not trying to repeal as much of obamacare as we can. i heard a quip from one of the tuesday groups. he proclaimed look the tuesday group is totally for a repeal of obamacare except for the major parts. that's the situation we're in. i hope they will keep their pledges to the american voter, that all republicans will, and repeal as much of obamacare as we can given the limitations that we faced on the vote count. >> sandra: all right. congressman brooks, congressman bratt, thank for stepping up to the camera for us. >> you bet. >> my pleasure. >> sandra: we'll keep watching it. what is it with planes? people just behaving badly? an all out brawl breaking out of a flight to l.a. twice. and yet it was all caught on camera. hey you've gotta see this. c'mon.

no. alright, see you down there. mmm, fine. okay, what do we got? okay, watch this. do the thing we talked about. what do we say? it's going to be great. watch. remember what we were just saying? go irish! see that? yes! i'm gonna just go back to doing what i was doing.

>> sandra: all right. fists flying between two passengers on a flight from japan to the united states. the violent posted on twitter showing two men fighting before take off. one of the men went at it with a ticketing agent as he was taken off the plane then. this, of course, just the latest incident in a string of recent in-flight disturbances. trace gallagher with more on this. trace, what is going on? >> reporter: yeah. like here we go again, sandra. this was on board a flight that was about to leave tokyo for los angeles. several witnesses say an american wearing the red hawaiian t-shirt appeared to be a bit intoxicated and was ranting about the government. it's really unclear which government. after he gets to his seat, the video shows him abruptly turn around and tell a man in a gray shirt he's gonna kill him and

then they go to blows. >> stop. stop. >> this guy's crazy. >> you heard the kid in the back tkpwroupb saying stop stop. after flight attendants intervened to try to calm things down the man in the gray t-shirt said the man in the red said he's crazy. the man in the video is a vedeoographer. the v video keeps rolling. back comes the guy in the hawaiian shirt yelling something about america and the fight resumes. this time a flight attendant gets caught in the back and forth and that's when the videographer puts down the camera and tries to help out. finally the man in red is taken off the plane. once he got back to the gate he choked an employee and was arrested. the airline, which has been

lauded for its top notch customer service released a statement saying we apologize to our passengers on flight 6 to los angeles for the preflight incident. the individuals involved have been dealt with appropriately by local law enforcement. although we have not heard about anybody else except for the guy in the red being arrested. the plane took off maybe an hour and a half late. i have no idea what's going on, but the airlines are just crazy. probably the cameras. everybody's got a camera. >> sandra: the person shooting that remained calm. his hand was steady. unbelievable. trace, thank you. >> sure. >> sandra: if you think riding a plane is bad, a bike may not be much better. well, this massive pileup.

getting off to a violent start in new york city. moments in the start of this race, a nasty pile-up. at least two dozen riders caught in it. i'm sonda smith. here's jon scott in for shepard smith. >> the white house attacking democrats over the spending bill saying they're trying to make the president look bad. the president says maybe washington needs a shut down to stop the mess. and president true on the phone with president putin. this comes as our president catches flak for warm words over the most infamous leaders in the world. and apologizing for the incident in which security dragged a passenger from the plane. and hillary clinton blaming james comey, wikileaks and herself for her election loss.
