continue to try to amend the house plan that is already dead. we don't know what bill to direct our amendment to. clearly the senate bill, repeal and replace has failed. >> we are told the senate as 20 hours of debate left, there will be numerous amendments this afternoon or tomorrow, we should see that and i should mention there's a group of republicans and democrats urging senators to work across the aisle. >> down to the wire. we will be here when that happens and that brings us to something else. rob: it is time to hold the senate accountable for their own health care fight. >> he wants to get repeal and replace done with obamacare and he will deliver. if holding senators accountable

talking about jeff sessions or the russia investigation? >> generally speaking the white house is looking to go back to issues that motivated his base in the 2016 election, culture war is a great issue, jeff sessions and obamacare, not great issues right now and maybe he doesn't feel strongly about this but won the day and that is what he wanted. >> a fox news alert, north korea could fire another ballistic missile test at any minute. the rogue nation expected to celebrate the day of victory holiday with a launch similar to one earlier this month capable of hitting the us. american officials now warning we have to stop kim jung un. >> we have to illuminate north korea. it is our argument to make the doable. >> if they went through with the launch it would be the rogue nation's 11th test this year.

it is 2:00 in the morning in san francisco, thank you for coming in this morning. i want to talk about this. a very interesting story, this is a massive transportation system, one of the biggest in the country and it had a big rise in crime, up 41% in rape, robbery and assault on this train system. they have cameras everywhere like in most big cities, why are they not releasing tapes that would show the assailant in these crimes? >> a number of reasons were given. initially they did not release the tape citing the assailants were minors. when they were pressed on that to release the video and show perhaps blurred faces of the miners it then became, well, it leaked out that one of them was

a 19-year-old, not a minor. then the story went to perhaps to release the video would affect the investigation that is ongoing. right around that time a few weeks back i received an internal memo from a top staff member who indicated that there was a racial component to this decision to not release not only the videos but the memos started with a discussion of not releasing the crime data. rob: let me read what bart actually released. they say the tapes of the crime, releasing them would unfairly affect and characterize writers of color leading to sweeping generalizations and media reports and a high level of

racially insensitive commentary, saying a number of these suspects are minorities and don't want to release it because they don't want to create a racial environment on these trains. if you are a young woman riding on a part train and was raped, do you really care what color the person that raped you was? in a jail cell -- it doesn't matter what color they are. right? >> yes. that was the question i asked of the person who wrote the memo in a reply. i don't understand what the color of one's skin has to do with releasing crime data and i received back further explanation that the april 22nd event happens, bart received a lost of stereotyping and feared the public would racially have racial bias against bart for releasing this data.

rob: another example of cases where you see organizations willing to protect offenders more than victims and it outrages a lot of people. thank you for coming on so early in the morning. >> i will be pressing for the video to be released. rob: i hope you do. thank you. heather: 20 minutes after the top of the, he warned us it would happen. long before he won the white house. >> we are going to win so much you may get tired of winning. heather: donald trump is coming through in a big way, the major jobs announcement and what it can meet for your family. the controversial rolling stone cover that has liberals wishing justin trudeau was their commander in chief. to the ballroom, you never guess what we are hearing about sean

difficulty of the main goal. >> i think the primary goal first is to give people freedom over their own health care choices and right now it is amazing to think in the center of obamacare is a requirement that every american by health insurance whether they wanted or needed or not. >> reporter: that is the centerpiece of the best shot republicans have of passing anything, the skinny repeal gets rid of the individual mandate and most of the obamacare taxes but getting to 50 vote seems elusive. democrats remain entirely opposed, elizabeth warren vowing to resist. >> democrats will be here fighting for as long as it takes to beat back the shameful health care bill. we hear the american people, we hear you, we are on your side

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

their ballistic missile program. i can't stress enough how badly this deal has hurt american security. the american government has got to figure out what to do because we cannot allow either of these countries to have the ability to coerce the united states. heather: how to do we get to this point? is one political party to blame over the other? >> both political parties deserve a lot of the blame because neither one did something to stop the programs. on all of this there was bipartisan work that put pressure and sanctions on iran over the years but it was the obama administration that released those sanctions because of the iran deal and we are suffering the consequences. we have got to get the ballistic missile defense system in place and invest in the ones that protect the united states homeland because the obama administration cut the missile defense budget especially the piece that protect the united states homeland and half. we have got to reinvest in that and get sanctions back on and come up with credible deterrent

mechanisms the countries know the united states won't allow them to have these programs come to fruition. heather: what would those credible resources be? we have seen sanctions not working. >> there are more sanctions on iran piece because of the iran deal, we have to start ramping them up again. on the north korean piece we have to put pressure on china. china has to understand they cannot be the enabler of north korea so more sanctions on china but you have to have wargames with our allies to show these countries the united states is willing to build a coalition and threatened them with force if we need to. heather: we are running out of time. i want to touch briefly if we have time on the announcement yesterday the president made in terms of transgenders and how you see that working into what is going on in the world today. >> i agree with donald trump's decision to reverse the last-ditch effort of the obama

administration to reverse pentagon policy. we are a compassionate nation but compassion does not mean we throw reality to the wind. individuals who have transgender identity, do not identify with their biological reality have an increased mental problems of anxiety, 40% commit suicide at some point in their life, these are real considerations the pentagon has to consider. all personal positions have to be weighed against the primary mission of the military and that is to protect the american people and fight and personal decisions don't help with that end we shouldn't do them so now it is just a matter of pentagon figuring out how to implement the policy. rob: it is 5:55. and alligator gone wild, add gator wrestling to this officer's list of duties. police body cam video. ♪
