>> put the recipe online. >> did you get your wisconsin maple syrup? >> baby got. >> make sure you warm your syru syrup. >> >> bill: good monday morning. donald trump putting made in america front and center with his administration trying to focus the agenda. health care reform gets a setback on the hill. that's part expressed concerns about whether or not g.o.p. senate leaders can pull off a victory. good morning, everybody. shannon has the week. i am bill hemmer at between nine. >> and i am shannon smith. a series of events showcasing products made in america. bringing new topics to his campaign, american jobs. >> will have two simple rules when it comes to building this
6:01 am
country. by america in higher american, all right? buy american. speak to kristen, tell us about the made in america showcase we will see this week. >> hello, sandra. today, products made it almost all 50 states are going to be on display at the white house and to show how the president's effort roll back regulations reform the tax code could help move american companies to make affection more in the u.s. before the white house can fully focus on tax reform, they need to figure out health care reform, and over the weekend, the senate republicans effort to do just that hit another major setback. this time, it had to do with senator john mccain. he will be out of washington for at least the entire week after undergoing surgery for a blood clot above his eye. and remember, this is a bill
6:02 am
where every single vote counts. senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, delayed the vote until senator john mccain is back, leaving ample time for senators to change their mind. one senator says he will not budge is senator rand paul from kentucky, and he says this morning, the white house legislative director for the white house came out and put some pressure on him. listen to this. >> we'd ask for the members of kentucky to reach out to senator paul and asked, how can we side with 48 democrats and protect the law as it is. protect obamacare, because we need all republican support in order to repeal this law. >> i predict that the fundamental law of obamacare will stay with the republican plan, that is why i cannot support it. the fundamental flaw is that mandates cause prices to rise and young healthy people then say, i will wait till i get
6:03 am
sick, and the insurance pool gets sicker and sicker. >> the state of this bill is even more murky today dinner was on on friday, and at a time when this white house really needs a legislative win almost more than ever with the negative press on the ongoing russian press and donald trump, jr.. >> sandra: 's attorneys tested a new defense about the donald trump, jr., meeting. how is that plane out? >> the president's personal attorney claimed that this may not have happened if the secret service had thought it was questionable, or at the secret service vented it. here's a jay sekulow. >> i wonder why the secret service, why did they allow these people in? they had protection. that raised the question. >> this morning, the secret service is disputing that, putting them statement saying that donald trump, jr., was not a protect the of the secret service in june, 2016,
6:04 am
thus, we would not have screened anyone that he was meeting with at that time. the secret service pushing back, and let me say, i cannot tell you how many times i been standing out here reporting on stories that involve the secret service same, the secret service does not have a comment. that is their m.o. the fact that they're putting out a statement today says a lot, sandra. >> sandra: very interesting. spewing last to talk about. fox news contributor byron, good day. you write this piece. here we go. what campaign would not seek mother load of clinton email. was that all about, byron? >> one thing underlying the whole russian investigation is the curiosity on the part of republicans and some of the trim campaign of what happened to those hill records and emails go back to march, it 2016, and she announced that she had a secret
6:05 am
server system. 60,000 plus emails. about half of those word work-related, and she would turn over to the state department, but the other half, she said, entirely personal, and she would delete them, and she alone decided what to keep and what to destroy. we later learned, the lengths she used two delete all these emails, and actually used hammers to destroy devices that had those emails on them. there were people in the trim campaign and the republican party, who believed she may have tried to delete these emails, but once they are on the internet, nothing ever really goes away. >> bill: let me use your own words. some people do not believe all 30,000 plus emails were truly gone. what is truly gone on the
6:06 am
internet, you asked. if there was an enormous trove of information that was harmful to a president or candidate sitting up there, what opposing campaign would not want to find it? continue. >> we've had some reports, a republican named peter w smith emma tried to find these emails, hackers that were russian, and nothing came of it. i talked to people who were on the campaign it said, yes, they did believe the emails were out there somewhere. they did not know where they were, they did not make an effort to try and find them. we do have a video from michael flynn, who was the presidents candidate national security visor in august 2016 saying some state actor, russia, china, iran, north korea, would have them. he thought the possibility of
6:07 am
somebody having a him was 95% or greater. the question was, did they do anything else? to try to find them, and would that have been proper or would it have been illegal or a wrong thing to do? >> bill: five years, check it out online. quickly and health care. a new item on here. with senator mccain been out at least a week. where are we then question might speak i talk to republican senators this morning, and i think it is on hold until we find out more about senator mccain, and i said the margin is so tight that one senator changes everything. the answer is yes. it is that tight. it does change everything. as far as i can tell, republicans in the senate come as far as how care is concerned, are essentially waiting for senator john mccain this week. remember, that messes up the schedule in the sense that,
6:08 am
mitch mcconnell cancel half of the august recess, so they would stay here and work on this. now, apparently, they cannot get that done, because they have so few senators. their majority is so narrow, losing one is a really big thing. spew an interesting twist. we'll see how it changes. thank you, byron. have a great monday. a past the hour now. speak to search for survivors in arizona after an unexpected downpour caused a powerful flash flood. a 6-foot tall wall of water pouring into a popular swimming spot at least nine people were killed. one survivor described the dramatic scene. >> came, and when it did, it was up to your waist. within a matter of seconds. we ended up looking down, and it ended up being a guy holding his daughter, a 1-year-old and he
6:09 am
was stuck to this branch, and there is water going all around him. it was something like you would see in the movies. >> sandra: what a scene. live in denver with the very latest. any word on the search this morning? >> they took a break overnight, and a search is resuming this morning, but the county sheriff's department says this is turned into more of a recovery mission rather than a search and rescue for this 13-year-old boy, who is with this group with family and friends. it happened in the cold springs swimming hole, which is in the national forest, north of erie. a 6-foot wall of fire. his popular in phoenix. they come to escape this heat. it turned deli when it brought down a torrent of rain, a flash flood warning for the area that victims did not hear. >> there was probably no way they heard that there was a
6:10 am
flash flood warning, because there was no cell phone service, and you will not get too many radio stations down in there either. >> for the phoenix family that turned deadly, sandra, they range from 24 months to 60-year-old victims. >> sandra: were they in the river during the thunderstorm? >> according to the sheriff's department, it was not even raining. the thunderstorm was above the area, and they were cooling off in the river water. this is monsoon season, and while rain can be a relief, it can come with such force, flash floods are likely. >> flash floods, you don't have time to react. it is awful. >> when you saw when that water moves so fast, picks up all the debris, the mud is so thick in that area, it is almost impossible to get out once you get stuck in it.
6:11 am
we will keep you updated on the search for that 13-year-old boy. >> sandra: alecia cuneo, thank you. the rescue efforts, wow. >> bill: how's it going so far? >> >> sandra: at the delicate day. >> we have another hour and 50 minutes. back to one of our top stories. the republican health care bill, not very republican according to senator rand paul. >> i don't think republicans should put their name on this, a key part of obamacare, and that we will be blamed for the rest of the unwinding. it is a really bad political strategy, it will not fix the problem. >> bill: new delays, opposition are putting them into a bind is putting health care life support. don rasco, a doctor to his take and where we are today, coming up in minutes. >> sandra: president trump once called the i run nuclear deal one of the worst ever drawn up by the united states. will he keep a question mark
6:12 am
will get news as an american is being sent to prison time in that country. >> bill: a vigorous defense of donald trump, jr., on the controversial meeting with the russian lawyer. >> what took place during that meeting, even on the basis of the emails as donald trump, jr., laid them out, were not violations of the statute. when you talk about russian collusion, colluding to do what?
6:16 am
>> bill: >> nothing in that meen opposition research paper from an russian lawyer, most lawyers, many, i was a vast majority of lawyers that you interviewed have knowledge that the meeting itself and proposed discussions would not have been a violation of the law. >> bill: that was the president's lawyer, jay sekulow, defending donald trump, jr., . all five sunday shows, want to bring in for governor, what is going on? good monday morning to you. >> good morning, william. you want nothing was illegal here. >> it is the fundamental point. i think what they wanted to do with jay secular, going on all the shows come the shows in
6:17 am
which virtually all the posts are surrogate sponsors, if you will, of the democratic perspective. he says, tell me which law, regulation, which statute is there a violation of. in essence, he probably should have emphasized this by saying, but whatever scenario you want on that meeting, and tell me even with the hypothetical scenario, what violation should be given to robert moeller to investigate. >> bill: you would make the case, that has not been proven. that is your position as of this hour, correct? >> i cannot identify a single rule, regulation, law, statute, that anybody on the democratic side or the patrons of the democratic side can cite is a
6:18 am
violation. until we have something tangible to talk about, they are going to keep talking in the abstract. >> bill: can return this to another angle then? the changing story. does that -- changing or not knowing, does that change the way you evaluate this or not? >> only until there is a change in the story, which makes it a violation. the changing story is embarrassing. it is stupid. the changing story is a mistake. i told the story changes into a specific fact, that makes it a violation, it looks horrible, but it is still not a violation of rule, regulation, law, statute. >> bill: here's one of the tweets from president trump but can hillary clinton get the legal debate for deleting emails, but my son, don, is being scorned by the media.
6:19 am
is the john secular argument helping or hurting? >> let me get you one more point. the context of timing is something we forgot. this meeting took place in the same week as the last republican primary. donald trump was not the nominee of the party, although he was presumed at that point going to be the nominee. they had not geared up their campaign to focus on mrs. clinton, in terms of a full fact load if you will, in fact, the wikileaks dump did not happen until later. it was a big dump on mrs. clinton. at that time, they were looking to see what they could add to the arsenal. the column you talk about a minute ago, point out the fact is, looking to that kind of material is part of a campaign process. you certainly ought to do it in
6:20 am
an ethical way, and a proper way, but there's still no violation that the democrats have been able to identify. >> bill: let me get one more comment. the other point that jay sekulow was driving, dead james comey says she was the target. james comey, he is the one that wanted special counsel. all that appears to be the case. he also said this, however, opposition research is a big part of the campaign. as you know, it always is. you've worked on campaigns yourself. is this the kind of opposition research that campaigns go for? >> i don't know what you mean, when you say, is this the kind of opposition research, because there was no this defined at the meeting. i have no idea whether this would apply to in the context of that meeting. they said, they had some material that was anti--clinton material. you would like to get a hint. i think the big mistake is that,
6:21 am
send me an email and tell me what it is. >> bill: governor, thank you for your time. have a great monday. good to have you back. 21 past the hour. >> sandra: south korea making a bold move by having a rare talks with the north. could it be the key to end the rogue regime weapons program? >> bill: horrible crash with an a home. how are they doing inside and outside, and a look at all this in a moment. >> kim of our roadway at great speed and launched into the roof these days families want to be connected 24/7.
6:24 am
that's why at comcast we're continuing to make our services more reliable than ever. like technology that can update itself. an advanced fiber-network infrustructure. new, more reliable equipment for your home. and a new culture built around customer service. it all adds up to our most reliable network ever. one that keeps you connected to what matters most.
6:25 am
>> bill: what a scene this was. a home owner in st. louis coming home from the gym to find this. that is a car, and that is not his car on top of his house. the driver was speeding apparently before hitting in the embankment and launching into the air, crashing down on the roof. the driver trapped when authorities arrived. the driver is freed and luckily, nobody is hurt. >> sandra: did you hear where the home owner was? the gym. have you ever been happier that you made it to the gym that day? >> bill: good point. >> sandra: in an effort to ease tensions, south korea posing to have military actions with that north. after north korea's intercontinental missile test this month. if it happens, it will be the first high-level talks between the two since a while. fox news contributor, jillian, good to see her. what does this tell us about south korea's intentions here?
6:26 am
>> as you mention, they have not had any official dialogue since 2015 despite of the north trying to push its missile arsenal. the relationship is really an all-time low. perhaps the lowest it has been since the 1950s, when they were first separated. what it tells us, the south new presidents moon is ready to make this big, big push for diplomac diplomacy. it is not entirely a surprise. he ran on the platform that viewed his predecessor as being too hard line with the north. he did not think they had any successes, and he really wanted to make a major push for diplomacy, we are seeing them kickstart that. >> sandra: north korea, we should note, have not agreed to such talks. will they? >> that remains to be seen. i know that sounds like a dodge, but we really do not know.
6:27 am
i can guess, 50/50 either way. my personal feel, the north will not be interested in the dialogue. they have gotten a lot more invested in the south -- the south has more invested interests in securing the border between the two nations, indeed some of the violence that has been erupting there. the north it seems more preoccupied with really hedging against the west, the united states, and developing its arsenal. >> sandra: say north korea surprises us, agrees to the talks. what could come from them? >> what we could see is the violent separating the two country and come sunday if that united states has been involved in an humanitarian efforts like the red cross is reconciling, reuniting i should say families that live on opposite sides of the border. that is an issue that the two countries have been grappling for a while. i could be an immediate. ultimately, the south's goal is
6:28 am
to get the north to agree to do nuclear eyes, and there is not a very big chance of that happening right now. >> sandra: giillian turner, i want to get to the news come. i i run his sentencing a princen grad to espionage >> that is irs charges. they try to type people who come to their country that they do not like to national security threats. they use these trumped up charges to imprison them. there are few americans being detained in iran under similar charges, similar pretenses. the state department has already acknowledged this publicly. they said, this is completely -- these charges are completely trumped up. this was a student who was there researching his phd. i chinese-american.
6:29 am
>> sandra: correct. the response is going to be key. besser john bolton said, trump must withdraw. he said, we must urgently reevaluate our muscle programs. he says it is very clear and puts a lot of pressure on the president. >> he does. the problem with my way of thinking is, it is a bad deal. president trump's right to point out. it is a terrible deal for u.s. national interest. the problem, the deal is inked. it is signed. we spent a couple of years rallying allies around the world to include france, germany, britain, to get on board with the nuclear talks. president obama did that, and we have so much clinical capital invested in that now, to pull out in part or in full would not be a betrayal of iran, because
6:30 am
nobody cares about that, but a betrayal of some of our closest allies. ultimately, that will undermine what we are trying to achieve. does that make sense question mike >> sandra: yes it does. giillian turner, thank you for being here. >> bill: what is the state of health care reform in the senate today? we are about to find out. republicans facing now. senator john barrasso with whether it will get done per will talk to him live. >> sandra: and we also remembering martin landau, some of the oscar-winner's career defining moments up ahead. >> miriam will not forgive me. she worships me. she will be humiliated while she plans to make a stink.
6:31 am
6:34 am
the spotlight. the economy will be the focus today as the white house and president trump promoting american jobs. he tweeted this over the weekend. stock market at new all-time high, working on new trade deals that will be great for u.s. and its workers. end tweet. speak to the senate republican health care bill facing new delays. mitch mcconnell delano vote while john mccain returns from surgery. the official report on the bill to conduct more analysis. the problem for undoing obamacare goes beyond mere delays. reporting to senator rand paul. >> does senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, has the votes to pass this bill? >> i don't think right now he does. this bill gives most of the obamacare taxes, keeps most of the regulations, keeps most of
6:35 am
the subsidies, and create something that republicans have never been for, and that is a giant insurance a bailout superfund. >> wyoming senator john barrasso is a doctor as well as a chairman. senator, it would thank being here. you heard from rand paul. he says, the votes are not there. are they question mike >> nobody said this will be easy. we are working for the 50 votes with mike pence and the tie. they raised peer eliminated the mandates essay, you have to buy a government approved program. let people at home decide what insurance is right for them, and we lowered the cost of premium cost by 30% a couple of years from now. >> sandra: senator john barrasso. as far as where we are at this morning, the votes are delayed. best wishes to senator mccain as he recovers, but the cbo
6:36 am
score delay, everything feels delayed. this is not going anywhere. where do you and your colleagues go from here? >> there is an urgency to get it done. we will wait for senator mccain to come back. he is a fighter. he is tough. he will be back. i am sure, ready to go. we are continuing to work to get all 50 votes. the cbo score will come in a day or so. they were rushed to try to get it back today, but what we will see is that our planet lowers premiums for the american people, which is what people are so concerned about, because you can continue to see the headlines and say, i know the obamacare rate shock. >> sandra: rand paul shared his concern with this, bill, what are the biggest obstacles as we introduce that your doctor as well. one of the biggest obstacles that the republicans face with this bill? >> medicaid. many states have expanded medicaid, others did not. as a doctor, worked with many, many medicaid's patients and wyoming. what we saw, we thought the
6:37 am
states could have the authority to make the decisions and do it our way, we can do a lot more with the same amount of money than trying to follow washington mandates. medicaid was set up for low income women, children, and for people with disabilities. basically, it got hijacked under obamacare and added all these adult, working age individuals to medicaid, and they paid states bonus money to the detriment of the people that it was intentionally designed for in the first place. >> sandra: considering you do not have everybody on board, rand paul also said the idea of replacing -- repealing and then replacing later. we heard that idea floating by the president. are you and your colleagues discussing the possibility question mike >> we are discussing all the possibilities. that is something i would vote for. i'm not sure how many votes would have to do that. i want to eliminate all the parts of obamacare that we can come up because we know, the
6:38 am
mandates drove up costs. say, you had to buy all the things that the government said you had to buy instead of what is right for you and your family. we need to focus on lowering the cost of care, and the cost of insurance to the american people, so they can get the care that they need from the doctor they choose at lower costs. all these things have been lost under obamacare. >> sandra: i want to listen to susan collins, one of the republicans that is publicly voiced concern about this bill, and what she is saying right no now. >> i would estimate that there is about 8-10 republican senators that have deep concerns, but how this would translate out, i am not certain. i never underestimate mitch mcconnell skills. >> sandra: how are you addressing those concerns? >> we are working with each member of the senate, all republicans, to come on board. some concern that he goes too far. some concern that it does not go far enough. we need to return control to the
6:39 am
american people. lower premiums, and let people be in charge of their own care, not washington dictates. that is where we are right now. >> sandra: senator, it doesn't make it to the bill for a vote question mike if so, when? >> i am committed. the president is committed to the pier will wait for john mccain return. we wish him a speedy return, one of the root the doctors would say, cut it in half, does what john mccain wants. >> sandra: senator john barrasso, thank you for being here. >> bill: mourning the loss of two legends this morning. both oscar-winning actor, martin landau, and george romero, the filmmaker. 89-year-old martin landau winning the oscar in "edgewood."
6:40 am
>> living like an animal. stu in his role winning him. best known for his role in "mission impossible" series on television. he passed away from unexpected publications during his short stay in l.a. he was 89 years old. and after the world learned after george romero's death as well. what a film. "night of the living dead" gave birth to a new john you, still inspiring new movies. he died after fighting lung cancer at the age of 77. huge contributions from both men. we remember them today. speak to a very talented indeed. new developments in the fight to save a life.
6:41 am
an american doctor said to examine determining l infant, charlie gard today to determine if an experiment till treatment could help save him. could this be the last chance to save his life? >> bill: there may be a new chapter in the james comey discussion. fbi director is now fired is now in the works. the top legal team, not happy about his new book. >> as jane comey should have respected the privilege that he wait, no authority to do, in order to get evidently a special counsel and a book deal
6:42 am
and the wolf huffed and puffed... like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, >> it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement

6:44 am
6:45 am
conversation with the president, and he had signed a book deal where he will discuss all this. and you tell me. do you think this is okay? >> bill: day cycle was on fire, and in a fight with james comey, leaking emails with the president in writing a memos stint with the trump years. editor in fox news contributor, and advised to john kerry. ladies, how are we doing? wow. happy monday. jay secular it with a cycle, and he was breathing fire. katie. you tell me. do you think that is okay. that was a question. is it okay. >> it is not okay for james comey to be leaking classified information in these memos that we still have not seen at the press. you had come at james comey has been in public office and law enforcement for nearly two decades. he was fired by the president, no longer works for the government, and if you want to write a book about his two
6:46 am
decades of service, i'm not sure that is a bad thing. that is a trump administration, with all due respect, should not flatter themselves too much, because they already heard from james comey with what he knows about the trump administration, campaign, and russia during his testimony, and the book will not just be about the feud with the president. ill be a comprehensive review of his career, which started in the 19th 90s spilt with the trump matter, i know someone who will read this, and that is mary anne marsh. [laughter] >> i had to read the hillary chapter first. >> bill: is it okay, miriam was mike >> is because of donald trump. ndf guide investigation into russia. we know this because trump admitted that very fact to minister of foreign affairs, russian minister and u.s. ambassador to the united states,
6:47 am
and in that meeting, it was trump who revealed highly classified information about israel and information they had on israel and isis. if all the sins committed here it were by trump, and what triggered james comey is when he said, james comey better hope there is no tapes, and that is when he came with the note. >> bill: we do not know but there are tapes. there's a huge feud with the dnc, ukraine, and on it goes. tit for tat, everybody does it. that is the impression that america is getting. adam shep, leaving critic in the russia matter had this to say. >> it is appropriate for democrats to help the ukrainian government, it would be problematic to get any support from a foreign government. >> bill: it would not be
6:48 am
appropriate. politicians may have. katie, what do we understand about this now. you met? >> there were meeting at the embassy in washington, d.c. with dnc officials to try and give the clinton campaign ammunition against the trump campaign and to bring down down trump candidacy. that is important to take a step back here and say, it is wrong for democrats to be colluding with foreign governments to take out the republican opponents, and it is wrong for republicans to do the same, and are far more information and evidence on the side of the clinton campaign, using information from foreign governments to go through the trim campaign then there is the trump campaign going after clinton's. it is wrong, and we do not want foreign governments influencing elections. >> bill: marianne mary end.
6:49 am
is this something that equates, you as a democratic strategist say, you should not have done that either? are we all getting a new education of how these campaigns work? they're looking for anything they can find, and it is only a question if the other side finds out about it. what is the truth. >> there two things going after what you see is a larger strategy by trump to say, everybody does it. he tried it with comey, he's done it with his son this past week, and they're doing it with the situation as well. that is not true. it is an effort to muddy the water and heat that have been effective with it, especially with everyday americans who do not follow. in spewing they say not happen. >> here's the question. the roots of this trying to get
6:50 am
in information on paul manafort and the ukrainian government. what i have done that? no. i do think it is apples and oranges when you have a dnc consultant trying to get information on >> sandra: two, which did happen, because it revealed the ledger where he got paid from ukraine, and all the money he made and that led to his ouster. >> it is still information from a foreign government. >> bill: i know you will figure it out. thank you mary anne marsh. thank you katie. what is next. >> sandra: a police shooting leaving a woman dead the same woman who died calling 91. wondering why shots were fired. the details on this mysterious case straight ahead. >> bill: also veterans needing a major overhaul, but one organization is not waiting for the government to act. >> this is huge health care bureaucracy. you will have some authorities out there, and when those get
6:54 am
>> sandra: on the campaign trail, president trump made the improvement veteran services top priority, but one organization is not waiting on the government to make improvements through private funding, the home and veteran network offers free mental health clinics across the country. from dallas, texas, hello, casey siegel. >> good to see you, sandra. many different ideas have been tossed around about how to better address the health care needs of our veterans. one idea, as you know, has been introducing competition to the marketplace, so it gives veterans more options when it
6:55 am
comes to where they go to become treated. the veterans network, coal and veteran networks, are there doing just that. it is a privately funded program in a series of clinics around the country to address the mental health care needs of veterans, and provide assistance to the family members. the cost, it is free. no selling point is speed. once they get to a clinic, they get an appointment within seven days. once more, most of the staff served themselves. >> one of the things that makes us unique at the clinic is that we try to employ people who are either veterans, family member of veterans, or have experience working with veterans. that is really helpful. >> the retired naval pilot got help after related to issues
6:56 am
after a multiple deployment towards him. he's trying to get help another places, but their approach has very well saved his life. >> this is not a sign that i'm not getting help. nobody asked us to go to war. where out there with their battle buddies. we have mutual support all the time, it will become home, we have a new team. the team is our family, friends, maybe our community, but we are a part of it. >> their program has been so successful, more vocations are scheduled to open across the country. you can check them out drop more information. >> sandra: : veterans network. thank you. >> bill: we are getting brand-new detail about the person getting prison time in iran. and this in the health care bill hits another roadblock. politics is a team sport, and republicans are not playing wel
6:57 am
7:00 am
>> bill: 10:00 here in new york, monday morning, and republicans in the senate finding health care on the back burner. the vote will be delayed as john mccain recovers from surgery. i'll take about a week, but we will talk to marc siegel in about an hour to talk more about that. happy monday. bill hemmer. shannon has a vacation. >> sandra: thanks for having me. >> bill: how was the first hour? >> sandra: i do not know. it is nice to be here, bill. i am sandra smith here for shannon bream. the congressional office adding another wrinkle. announcing they will delay releasing their score for the health care bill john mccain
7:01 am
recovers. >> we believe there is an urgency to get it done. we will certainly wait for senator mccain to come back. he is a fighter. he is tough. i am sure, ready to go. we are continuing to work to get all 50 votes. >> sandra: mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. mike, what our expectations at this point on health care? >> sandra, things are on hold right out, likely bump to next week. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell announced over the weekend that this consideration of the health care plan will be on hold for the moment. the bottom line, he does not appear to have the votes to bring it up for considerations with two definite no boats and one on the mend. after having surgery friday to remove a blood count from across his eye. he will be a critical vote. one no-vote was on fox news sunday. >> the bottom line, i am not going to trade medicare reform
7:02 am
for bailout, insurance entitlement. they call it temporary stabilization of $2 billion. it will not go away. they do not fix the death spiral of obamacare. the death spiral of obamacare will remain with the republican plan. as >> this took a preemptive sht at the congressional budget office. >> cbo does not capture the individuals that say at the federal government, i do not want the plan you think i need. i want the plan i know i need for myself, and for my family. those numbers are so flawed in terms of what actually happened in the real world when people act for themselves in inappropriate way and get that kind of coverage that they want. >> we do not expect to hear from congressional budget office today. >> sandra: quiet on capitol hill today, mike. what are you hearing if anything from democrats at the state's? >> democrats continue to make the case at this health care
7:03 am
would be a disaster for consumers across the country. >> if i have cancer through no fault of my own, i did not hit a car, i need to have insurance to cover me. this bill does nothing for those people, and it only makes the price of their insurance ever higher. >> democrats continue saying, it there not counting out mitch mcconnell and his ability to get it done. >> sandra: mike emanuel, thank you. >> bill: check out the op-ed in "the wall street journal," republicans say they cannot pass health care reform, because they're not team players. the weekly standard writing, democrats are performing like a well-coached team. chuck schumer has all members together. it has been a successful strategy. it worked for one reason. republicans are divided. brit hume, political analysts. it is nice to see you, brit hum hume. what do you think of your long
7:04 am
time buddy and his comment. >> it is alas a chance, and i think he is correct, republicans are divided. the democrats have been very united in lockstep, you might say, in their efforts to defend obamacare as is. republicans, number of whom operate as independent political contractors, rand paul being the most conspicuous example, cannot be easily corralled. we are living in a new era, where it was hard for majority leader to bring people on board, because some of the tools that was at their disposal are gone. earmarks, for example, were always a tool. the logrolling they used to be a part of a legislative dealmaking is not available as of once was.
7:05 am
mitch mcconnell has it narrow majority and you have this medicare reform out there, which is a very big deal, and i think it is the biggest, arguably, the biggest. and they say it will be cut and thrown off their health insurance and so on. that scares certain republicans. dean heller of nevada being a prime example. this is a tough one for mitch mcconnell, but look at it this way, bill. remember when the first version of this came? we had a dozen of senators within days and publicly announced their opposition. version two comes out. what do we have? to members for sure who are no- no-votes. that is about all that mcconnell can lose. with but if you look at the map, it looks like progress by the leader. >> bill: one more piece. the republican party fumbles the
7:06 am
boat, and an overriding concern, and that the g.o.p. fails -- it shadows there success. he points out the three sit tenders, on the screen, senator dean heller of nevada, collins domain, and rand paul from kentucky. they have different disagreements with the bill for different reasons, however bartz is saying, you can make the case for thousands of people in nevada, but there are millions of others that are suffering the consequences that if mitch mcconnell gets a vote, he can say, either vote for with a "yes," and if your vote is a "no," obamacare lives forever. >> that argument is absolutely correct. a "no" vote leaves obamacare in place. collapsing perhaps, but saint, let it die. letting that die does not ring
7:07 am
is back to the insurance market we had before this bill was passed. that market was gone. landscape has changed. it would be a disaster. the senators would have no choice to prop it up leaving in place. that is what is lost on rand paul of the world. look at them who say, i cannot vote for this, because it does not do all that we promised to do. that's not the question. the question is, is it better then the status quo, and if it is, and i think it is at least from a conservative point, it is strong, the idea of voting against it does not make any sense. >> bill: let me add one more point. remember, democrats in 2009 at the last hour, two or three dozen were taken to the white house, because they had objections to abortion language in obamacare, and they were given executive order to get the votes. they are negotiating publicly as well. >> they're able to be won over.
7:08 am
democrats are better at this. they long have been, which explains why you have all this legislation that has been passed through the years, and the ever forward march of the growing federal government, which, i live here in washington. i look around me at the extent of the growth in this town and it surpasses anything i ever imagined could happen. we have giant high-rise buildings outside the city, because regulations against them within the city. the growth of the federal government and its pending and the rest of it has proceeded apace against republican and conservative objections, it continues. >> bill: spew when it not gettig smaller. >> thank you, brit. >> sandra: and american student at princeton university has been arrested in iran and sentenced to ten years. the 21-year-old's sentence for
7:09 am
spying for the united states. live from the state department, rich, what is iran claiming? >> iran is claiming that the student from princeton university assumed the role of a student to gain access to the national archives of iran to infiltrate and sing the sensitive information back to the west and the united states. that is according to iranian state media. a spokesperson from the university says they arrested xiyue wang last summer while conducting research for his phd, and since, princeton has been trying to secure his release. a state department official tells fox news that, we are aware of reports about xiyue wang, a u.s. citizen obtained in justine iran. we continue to use all the means at our disposal to advocate for u.s. citizens who need our assistance overseas, especially for the release of any unjustly obtained u.s. citizen.
7:10 am
two years ago from friday signed the eran nuclear deal. since then, they claimed that they have had other provocative behavior. jailing citizens, missile test. they must certify either their complying with the nuclear agreement. they will hear it while it undertakes a much larger iran review. >> sandra: rich, big russian meeting at the state department. >> this is with tom shannon. talks he has had with his counterparts that were stalled and stopped by the russians, and no restarting today. russian says, if they want to hear concrete steps as went to the american will return to diplomat a compost to the russians. they suspended access. they kicked them out of the country the end of last year during the obama administration, when they charge that russia was
7:11 am
meddling in the election. >> sandra: rich, thank you. >> bill: another top story, president trump's legal team rushing to the defense of donald trump, jr., . >> opposition research, if it is materialize, there's never a case that opposition research is a thing of value. >> bill: jay sekulow scissors nothing wrong with that meeting. >> sandra: first responders 80 counselors direct and his daring rescue next. plus this. >> it is amazing to me that every one of those countries understands that practical policies, promote business and growth is good for the average citizens of those countries for jobs and wages, and somehow the, the great american free enterprise season, we know longer get it. >> bill: that is jpmorgan's ceo fired up with that american government. how are they doing it drain the

dad: flash drives? yup. that's dad taking care of business. laptop setup? yup. but who takes care of dad? office depot, office max. this week, all hp ink, buy one get one 30% off. ♪ taking care of business >> bill: a quick look at what first responders are dealing with with the california wildfire. this is santa barbara county, and these rescue crews are trying to get to a campground, where they are getting reports that members of a summer cramp our trap at 124. 88 our children. with the help of a bulldozer,
7:16 am
first responders able to navigate through the fire, but also able to get everybody out about fire safely. bravo a job so very well done. california, santa barbara. the fact is what took place in that meeting, even on the basis of these emails as donald trump, jr., laid them out, were not violations of the statute. when you talk about russian collusion, colluding to do what? what law? a >> sandra: that was jay sekulow on the sunday shows over the weekend, defending donald trump, jr.,'s meeting with russian nationals during the election. saying there is nothing wrong with what he did, but, the number of the people acknowledged to be at the meeting has grown it several times, and that is raising a lot of eyebrows. president trump tweeting moments ago, most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one donald trump, jr., attended to get info on an opponent.
7:17 am
that is politics. let's bring andrew napolitano. that tweet just out. >> you told me as i walked into the studio. if i could have advised the president or donald trump, jr., i would have said, go to don mcgann. these are very confident lawyer, who is the white house legal counsel, and was the general counsel of the campaign. he would've said, you want to talk to and ask kgb agent and a russian lawyer coach mike we now know she wasn't. research on hillary? tell the fbi. do not bring them here. >> sandra: had he taken it to a lawyer, the lawyer would have said no. why, if it is not a crime. >> it is a crime to receive something of value, when your campaign official from a foreign person or a foreign government. that may not be the best statute in the world, because you also have freedom of speech together information from wherever you want, but when the congress
7:18 am
wrote the laws governing presidential campaigns, they said presidential campaigns cannot accept anything of value from a foreign government or person. >> sandra: you were gone last week, so it's good to get your take, judge. had he, donald trump, jr., said she had no information. had he actually received information, you are saying that would have been a felony. >> that would have been a felony, completion of a crime. like the interview with the former governor whose cap same, just as jay secular, who we all know, where is the crime, statute. these nonviolent terminal events don't happen all at once. they happen in stages, so the question is, is this enough to start an investigation? the answer is yes, because it is suspicious that they met with these people. they did not consult a lawyer,
7:19 am
and one of them is a former kgb intelligence member, i did not tell anybody about it. why did jared kushner not tell the fbi about it, it national security application, unless he tried to hide something, and if he was, was it because it was a foolish thing to do, or the beginning of some steps in acquiring this information? >> sandra: we discussed the story that he has no official role in the white house. this happened while he had no official role in the campaign. this means jonathan truly wrote an op-ed entitled, "the fall of donald and jared" with his comments today, it that is the real cause of nepotism. it reduces the range of motion and dealing with scandal.
7:20 am
there is no option for political triage when that people are on the line. >> for the most part i agree and that works. if the president of the united states has to decide between what is good for the white house the family, he should not have that conflict. the reason i say for the most part, there is a glaring exception to this. when the attorney general was the president's brother, that was one of the greatest justice departments for civil rights and civil liberties in the history of the modern era. of course president kennedy and robert f kennedy. different plane and level here. donald trump would be better served if you would not related to the people serving him. >> sandra: is good to hear from you, judge. good to have you back. >> bill: are you refreshed or what, judge? ready to fight the law? new developments to save the life of a terminally ill baby by the name of charlie guard.
7:21 am
>> he's our flesh and blood. it is all right as parents to decide to give him a chance at life. >> bill: now a prominent american doctor hopes to influence a british judge and that ongoing legal battle. he is in britain now. >> sandra: remembered for young men murdered and buried on a pennsylvania farm. >> we are here for them as a county, we are bucks bucks cy strong for them. ries, unclogging the sink, setting up dentist appointments and planning birthday parties, nobody does it better. she's also in a rock band. look at her shred. but when it comes to mortgages, she's less confident. fortunately for maria, there's rocket mortgage by quicken loans. it's simple, so she can understand the details and be sure she's getting the right mortgage. apply simply. understand fully. mortgage confidently.

7:26 am
from being as close to zero makes no difference. according to the experts evidence that is been heard today in court, a small but significant chance. spewing there is a spokesperson for the parents of the baby, charlie guard outside the courts in england. up announcing that son's condition remains incurable. now, prominent american doctor, dr. michio hirano, seen if the boy could receive life-saving treatment. it could be a big deal. mike siegel a part of our team, professor of medicine. you know of him. he is prominent. why would dr. michio hirano take this case? >> he has been in the field for 30 years. the mitochondria is the engine of the cell, it makes all the processes work.
7:27 am
the tragic case like this, it is not working, because of genetic problems. so dr. michio hirano made a therapy with few others that overcomes that and gives the genetic factor back to that need. he's used it already, bill, in another young child, which showed significant improvement, and is still alive today. this case with charlie guard, buy everything we hear in, is a much worse case. it affects the brain more. is a profound weakness. he is probably a lot worse than the other child, but dr. michio hirano is saying, why not try this treatment? therefore. i'm impressed that he is flying over there. >> bill: from a medical's perspective, if we are giving parents false hope, or does a doctor, this prominent as you describe, see the potential for improvement? a cure? to perhaps give this
7:28 am
11-month-old boy a better chance at life. >> this is not a publicity stunt. this particular doctor is going, this is a world-class doctor on this disease. he's not doing this, unless he thinks there is a chance of prolonging the child's life. cure, we are not talking about. treatment that will help the child and prolong his life. >> bill: another topic i want to talk about. senator john mccain, telling news over the weekend. he has a blood clot that will be addressed. what do you think is the prognosis for him? speak of course, because i've not seen his records, but i did see his records in 2008, and must say, the mayo clinic in arizona has done a great jobg care of him all these years, and he would be the first to say so. front i can glean from news reports, is probably a blood clot on the outside of the brain on the surface of the brain that has been removed surgically. it would not likely have come to attention unless he was suffering some symptoms. normally that occurs when there is a follow somebody as dizzy,
7:29 am
or something is affecting and they go to a neurologist, and they do a brain scan and says, we better get this blood clot out. that is probably what it is. my best idea would be something called a subdermal hematoma, which sounds fancy, but it's easy to fix. his recovery time, given that they sent them home so fast, bill, would only be a couple weeks. back on the senate floor within a couple of weeks. >> bill: with him, we wish him the absolute best in his recovery. you clearly have this debate on capitol hill about whether they can go forward with the health care bill. >> they need him part of it. spew and it will be a week. is that reasonable given your answer? >> it's going well, and they don't find anything else hidden, which i do not expect, it will be two weeks. to be optimistic if you'll be back next week. >> bill: thank you, doctor, both those topics.

7:35 am
had passed a stimulus bill. bill clinton had a first year that had a lot of items, many medium ranked and controversial by february he had the family leave act, he had big tax increase in spending bill in august. the brady gun control bill. they were not necessarily popular to the american people, but he got them through. it is a problem for the republicans. voters are looking at it and saying, we elected a republican president, republican senate and house, we want you to get things done. the big expectations are, you're getting repeal and replace obamacare, and you will reform the tax code. >> bill: you have to wrangle a few cowboys. you would confess to that. that is not easy. but you have a lot of victories on the board, right? >> starting with spring tort may
7:36 am
connect supreme court nominee and the homeland security, kelly, and rex tillerson at sta. people i think a bit surprised by that. regulatory relief. the administration has taken and pulled back a lot of obama era regulations cap. 16 congressional actions that kill regulations by the previous administration in the last six months. i saw tart last week that compared the amount of regulatory burden in the first six months of the presidencies in the modern era, and trump is the lowest increase in the regulatory burden by far. yes, there has been changes in policies. homeland security. >> bill: are you giving them a grade yet? it sounds like you're giving them of a b.
7:37 am
your talk about health care. >> there's a group to make dreaming a great piece in "the wall street journal" op-ed saying, this bill does not kill everything and obamacare well, if you take that attitude, then everything and obamacare is going to stand the books, it gets rid of the mandates. taxes, puts the stage that a better places. biggest reform of medicaid in the history of our country, yet, because it is not hundred% perfect, somebody will vote to keep the status quo and power. his point was, become a team member. get it done. make incremental progress, and can keep the job. spew what we talked about that barnes piece before. i will allow your voice now to be transmitted through jamie deming, the ceo of jpmorgan, through a conference call in out there intentionally, because he said this.
7:38 am
>> it is an embarrassing being an american citizen traveling around the world and listening to the stupid [bleep] we have in this country. i one point, we all have to get her act together and do for the average american's. >> bill: get your act together. it has been an embarrassment. this is from a well respected man, american businessman. >> it reminds me of that guy when played amid a movie, "madison as heck." he speaking for a lot of americans. who will decide the midterm election. james dimon, biggest bank in america. he's right about overregulation. i'm worried about infrastructure, and worry about taxes. we're making some progress on the regulatory burden, i will see more that over the apparent info structure. this is where president trump. this right now, the congress is dealing with the reform that he has back on the air traffic
7:39 am
control, which would modernize is like other countries. nothing wrong with that. it is slow going. i read an article this week with republicans saying, i will vote for this, because i'm not sure how much good it does for my district. it is good for the country. do what is good for the country. and tax reform, and he made a very good point. we have the highest corporate tax rate of any industrialized country in the world, and we are also the major industrialized country that double taxes and profits of american countries that make deals abroad. the german company, you sell a piece of medical equipment to the u.s., make a profit, pay attacks in u.s., but do not pin more taxes in germany. you pay attacks in germany to bring the money back to the u.s., and you pay a second tax. that is why the $2 trillion at least of american companies profit stranded abroad, and tax reform will bring that money
7:40 am
home, and help invigorate our economy. >> bill: the problem of the argument, karl rove, is that it makes too much sense. >> that is what james dimon was saying, and i agree. we should be doing the right thing for the country. >> bill: it is nice to have you back, karl rove. >> sandra: minneapolis police responding to a call about a possible assault. they end up shooting and killing the woman who phoned it in. police are saying very little is the victims family demands answers. mike is live in chicago. what prompted the shooting? >> sandra, dead is the real mystery of this case. is cap a kid by the fact that the woman who called police is the woman who was shot. she has not been identified through official channels, but multiple witnesses at the scene and local media have identified her as 44-year-old justine damond. she is from australia. she worked at the spiritual

center, taught yoga. all that is known about the shooting, she called about an incident on 11:30 saturday night. while speaking to officers on the driver side door, the officer in the passenger seat, fired his weapon, fatally striking justine damond. activists are demanding answers and protesting. >> if we don't demand justice, it will happen again. this community is not immune from what is happening, because our police force is out of control. >> both of the officers are on paid administrative leave. no indication they did something wrong. that is standard protocol, and police involved shooting. body cameras are systemwide with the minneapolis pd. both officers were wearing them, but they were not punched on to record. there's a camera in the vehicle. there are also saying that the neck after the incident. >> sandra: a lot more to learn about what happened there. mike tobin, thank you. >> bill: democrats with a dilemma as they move towards the

"abc news" poll shows only 37% believes the democratic party stand for something, and 52% c democrats currently exist to oppose and obstruct president trump. let's bring in our panel. emily, campaign director and lisa boothe, contributor to the national examiner.
7:47 am
high new strategy and fox news contributor. good to see both. emily, i'll start with you both. they seem united in opposing president trump. maybe that is not going to last, because it does not seem to win elections. >> opposing trump is a fundamental core of what every federal elected democrat is pushing for right now. democrats are in not in power. republicans controlled the house, senate, and presidency. any legislation that goes to look is going to be republican control. they're interested to inducing bills to fix obamacare. until appeal is off the table. feel what is the message from democrats? >> the message is and always will be putting a middle-class first, jobs creation and wage growth across america. it is difficult for any of this to break through, when the headlines are dominated every single day i did buy health care or collusion with trump. none of these things the democrats can control. it is hard for anything to break
7:48 am
through. >> bill: >> sandra: want to show senator mark warner's response to democrats being against trump and watch this. >> that the republicans have to get off this notion that they will change all these laws. that would actually help the republicans and help the democrats. frankly, it would help the president's approval ratings as well. >> sandra: lisa? >> .democratic party shows no interest in helping with republicans on these changes. whether it is health care or whatever. whether they are meeting and solve some of these economic problems for so many americans, then it is just not believable. i think the democratic party is struggling right now and figuring out his message. really avoid leadership as well. we saw that specifically with the georgia sixth special election, is put a spotlight on that. the democratic party turning his back on nancy pelosi, blaming her for the loss in georgia six,
7:49 am
not really knowing how to hone in on the most effective anti-trump messaging. right now, it is a party that has lost, don't know what they represented their doing everything from choosing someone to represent the heartland of america. struggling to figure out how to engage these voters, that rejected him and the 2016 election. >> sandra: publicans have obstacles too paired watching everything with health care right now. i want to say the latest "abc news" washington polling, asking, do you approve or disapprove of the way president trump is doing his job. 56 approve. emily, 56% disapprove. speak out there dragging down the republican party. they voted for him, because they thought he would cut through the noise, and be effective. he is the perfect set up to do that right now. he controls all three branches of government, and it is on the republican party to either get
