vice president pens is taking on role of ambassador wake of healing for this tragedy. >> with america, we mourn with those who mourn. we grief with those who grieve. i stand before you on behalf of my family and every family in america, to say we're with you. today we're all vegas strong. gillian: rich edson is live in washington. the vice president said no evil will dim american the strength of american people. >> on sunday night las vegas came face-to-face with pure evil, no act of violence will ever diminish the strength and goodness of the american people. as president trump said on monday morning, our unity can

not be shattered by evil. our bonds can not be broken by violence. reporter: this just in for the network pool traveling with the vice president, the vice president and his wife are visiting the memorial of crosses that have been set up near where that shooting happened about six days ago. meanwhile back here in washington, democrats are continuing to push for more gun control. republicans, especially house speaker paul ryan said he is open to at least considering the issue of bump stocks. that was the modification that the police say the gunman made to semiautomatic weapon that turned it into a automatic weapon. president trump about to leave the white house. he is headed to north carolina, greensboro, he will do a fund-raiser down there before leaving for the fund-raising event, the president as he tends to do, tweeted. this time on north korea. quote, presidents and their administrations have been talking to north korea for 25 years. agreements made and massive

apartments of money paid hasn't worked. agreements violated before the ink was dry, making fools of u.s. negotiators. sorry only one thing will work. this is after the president crip i cannily said this week, flanked by senior military officials, this was the call before the storm. he was asked repeatedly what that means. he says we'll find out. secretaries of defense and state have said the u.s. is prepared to defend the country against north korean attack, though the u.s. prefers and is pursuing diplomacy. there is also a deadline in eight days. that is when the administration has to figure out whether it is going to certify for the third time that iran is complying with the bulk of the iran nuclear agreement. there is discussion, officials here are talking about the possibility with the trump administration would certify that iran is failing to comply with the nuclear agreement but it would continue nuclear-related sanctions relief, essentially keeping the united states in the iran nuclear deal. the iran nuclear deal together and punts issue with congress

whether to make the decision to withdraw the u.s. gillian, back to you. gillian: we'll have more on the iran nuclear deal later in the show. rich edson, thanks so much. eric: as rich just said, the vice president and mrs. pence, there you see live right now. it's a very emotional moment, heart-rendering and heart-breaking. the memorial of 58 crosses in las vegas, the balloons, the flowers, the proud american flag. 58 for each victim killed in the senseless slaughter. they lost their lives in the worst mass killing, terrorist attack really in american history. these type of events and these type of tribute honor those who are lost. you see the white balloons, doves were released earlier. watch and listen as the vice president of the united states and mrs. pence inspect

each memorial. [inaudible conversations]. a solemn emotional tribute. you saw the vice president touching the signs with the names, a moment of him offering his honor and thoughts and prayers as the nation after this horrible event. meanwhile back in washington the president is not giving up on repealing obamacare. mr. trump tweeting that he called senate minority leader charles schumer to talk about what he said, quote, the great health care bill. this after the administration dealt another blow to the affordable care act, rolling back the law's birth control mandate. the big question now, would the president get democrats on board on a new health care plan? kristin fisher explains. reporter: at the same time the

trump administration is dealing this pretty big blow to obamacare, the president is also continuing to try to cut a deal with democrats about a health care bill. he said this morning on twitter, quote, i called chuck schumer, the senate minority leader, yesterday to see if the dems want to do a great health care bill. obamacare is badly broken, big premiums. who knows? but schumer seems a little less optimistic. he says that the president wanted to make another run and repeal and replace. i told the president that is off the table. if he wants to work together to improve the existing health care system. we democrats are open to his suggestions. but working together with democrats will only be even more difficult after what the trump administration did just yesterday. it expanded the exemptions for the affordable care act's contraceptive mandate to include moral objections, in addition to the religious exemptions already in place. >> president believes that the freedom to practice one's faith is a fundamental right in this country. i think all of us do.

that is all that today was about, our federal government should always protect that right. as long as donald trump is president, he will. reporter: before the exemption was limited to churches and religious organizations. now it has been expanded to any business, non-profit, or even publicly-traded company with seriously-held moral objections as well. speaker ryan, he called it a landmark day for religious liberty but house minority leader nancy pelosi called it despicable. the president of planned parenthood put out a statement reads in point, the trump administration took direct aim at birth control coverage for 62 million women. this is unacceptable of attack on basic health care that vast majority of women rely on. aclu filed a lawsuit. the white house said it is willing to take this one to the supreme court. eric? eric: thanks so much. the big question can the president bring democrats to the table on health care? we'll have more in the hour with

political reporter rachel bade to explain. gillian? gillian: now to a fox news alert. we're keeping a close eye on hurricane nate. it is expected to make landfall in louisiana later tonight. it is currently graded at a category 1 but likely to strength to category 2 before it strikes the u.s. mainland. folks across the gulf coast are preparing for rain and powerful wind likely to follow. we have fox team coverage with casey stiegel live on the ground in new orleans. we begin first with meteorologist adam klotz live in the weather center. adam? >> this storm continues to strengthen. we've seen it continue to do so. we're knocking on category 2 storm, 90 miles an hour. still running over water, 80 to 85 degrees. that is warm enough to continue to intensify. we're seeing outer bands of rain to batter the gulf coast. that will only pick up here in the next couple of hours as this

storm moving quickly, up over 20 miles an hour. typically see the things move closer to 10 to 12 miles an hour. this is a fast-mover. as it lifts to the north, jumping likely to category 2 status, likely there at it, that will happen overnight tonight. winds specifically? can we talk about landfall? pay attention to center of circulation. this is the future radar. pay attention to where it is as it moss to the north. getting intense bands likely not making landfall at this point. there is the center of circulation. 9:00 p.m., all the wind beginning to see storm surges here along the gulf coast, over towards new orleans and inlets and lakes along the coast. this continues to move perhaps, getting 11 or midnight. depends we're talking about running over barrier islands. overnight tonight, lingering, really slowing down once it makes landfall a little bit. talking about still off the coast there, all the way by

7:00 a.m. so the coast will be seeing a lot of heavy rain, at least, at times, and then that storm surge will be a big part of this story. no surprise, we're looking hurricane watches and warnings up and down the coast. the storm surge, widespread three to six feet. some areas getting up to nine, 10, maybe 11 feet, gillian. that will be one of the biggest concerns the next few hours. gillian: adam, thanks for that. we'll check back in with you later. eric: president trump has approved a predisaster declaration for 17 louisiana parishes ahead of hurricane nate's landing. officials telling 2000 people to evacuate. there are concerns now about the city's antiquated pumping system. casey stiegel live in new orleans with the very latest. he is at lake pontchartrain, you can see it behind casey. casey, the wind is starting and if it comes over the lake they could have problems. reporter: eric that is what storm surge is. as the storm is out over water in the gulf, it has extreme

winds adam was talking about. as it moves north and it moves east toward the shore, it pushes all of water from the gulf inland. that has potential of filling up lake pontchartrain here with storm surge. water levels are already high here. so no doubt everyone living all around this lake very, very concerned about that, because i want you to take a look right down there. you can see, we're not talking about a really great distance between neighborhoods and the shoreline. you can see hopes and businesses right up there. it doesn't take much. when you're talking about potential, six, seven foot surge in this spot, that could be problematic for the neighborhood. the national weather service is saying window of preparedness is closing quickly. hurricane nate is fast approaching, and as you really start to see all of the

rainfalling, it is new video of like to show you some rainfalling in and around new orleans, shot by one of our photographers not too long ago. it has been falling steadily last go hours or so. the mayor of new orleans just holding a press conference. the worst of it hits 7:00 tonight local time, through 7:00 tomorrow morning. now the army corps of engineers today closed two giant floodgates on two of the city's canals. this infrastructure was put in post-katrina to help keep storm surge out of the city of the mayor says that the pumping stations in and around the city that we've been reporting on that have had widespread problems, some of the pumping stations were down. the city flooded with just a rain event over the summer. so people are concerned. however the mayor says more than 90% of the pumping stations are

now operational. he is confident they will do their job. however, some of the residents around here aren't so sure and are a bit skeptical. listen. >> the city ain't done nothing with our drainage system. i'm worried about getting flooded out again for the second time in two months. reporter: so they have been taking sandbags and moving their belongings to higher ground. the mayor finishing a press briefing not long ago. he is telling residents to be prepared without electricity possibly up to seven days. nearly 2000 energy crews are in the region on stand by, ready to respond to get lines up, if that is the case, to try to get power restored quickly. so a lot of unknowns at this point, as we typically have, as one of these storms approaching. we just know it is dangerous and a lot of people are impacted, not in, not just in louisiana, but neighboring mississippi,

alabama, possibly florida as well. lots of eyes on hurricane nate at this hour. eric? eric: casey, just a mater of waiting. we hope for the best. a week is a long time. we'll watch throughout the night. we'll have coverage throughout the night. thank you. gillian: thousands of russians take to the streets. hundreds are arrested. they have taken out to protest against vladmir putin, ahead, what made this day extra special for those demonstrators and perhaps extra upsetting for their president. special counsel robert mueller reportedly spoke with the author of the controversial trump dossier. why the senate intelligence committee hit a brick wall with the same ex-spy? a former cia officer joins us live with his take. the las vegas massacre reignites the gun control debate on capitol hill. >> when you take firearms away from people, you take them away from law-abiding citizens. >> of course. >> evil people -- always have a gun and take away our right to protect ourself.

this is democrats saying steak should be only one to protect you. you can't protect yourself. >> congressman. we have to leave it. you nervous? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ eric: russian president vladmir putin getting an unwelcome gift on his 65th birthday as protesters line the streets of

moscow. [shouting] eric: they say the protesters numbered in the thousands against putin, gathering in downtown moscow, waving russian flags, chanting, let navalny run, the opposition leader who plans to run for president next year despite having a criminal conviction that bars him from entering the race. other protests reported across dozens of cities in russia with hundreds of people arrested. gillian: despite hitting a brick call in congress, president trump is not ready to give up on repealing obamacare. he said, quote, i called chuck schumer questioned to see if the dems want to do a great health care bill. who knows. schumer confirmed the president's call but says the proposal is a nonstarter. what happens next on health care? i want to bring in rachel bade,

capitol hill reporter for "politico." rachel, thanks for joining us. >> happy to be here. gillian: over the summer president trump issued a essentially a warning to gop leadership. he said if you fail to get obamacare repealed and replaced or at least fail to make headway, i'm going to forge ahead without you. is that what is happening now? is that what these overtures to senator schumer are about? >> yeah. i think 100% that is what he is doing right now. i think, you talk republicans on the hill publicly, they want to tackle repeal and replace next year but privately it is about as likely as the browns winning the super bowl, right? the president is reaching into a new playbook. there are new strategies. executive orders, rolling back obamacare regulations on birth control so that companies and insurance groups do not have to provide birth control. also we're hearing talk about potentially executive orders that will allow people to purchase insurance across state

lines which republicans love, because they think it would bring down prices and premiums. however he is also looking at something that will tick a lot of republicans off. that is where the schumer call comes in. talking about working with a different team right now, right? basically reaching out to democrats to let's pass a big, beautiful health care bill. the problem democrats and republicans have totally different versions what health care reform look like so that could be an issue for him. gillian: so if we look at senator schumer's response to the president, is that a straight up rebuff, or do you see some room for the president to work with dems on health care moving forward or we can kind of write that one off now going forward? >> yeah. i think that there are probably 10 million reasons why you shouldn't expect a deal between democrats and the president right now on health care. the first one being, as schumer sort of hinted at, democrats don't want to repeal and replace obamacare. they want to fix it. they want to prop it up, and the president, republicans ran on

the opposite, frankly. so if the president were to do that, the basis not going to like that. trump is very cautious what the base likes. so i don't think that is likely. the other thing, republicans in congress have totally panned this idea, right? so speaker paul ryan came out and basically said it was a nonstarter. yes, we have seen some moderate pubs and some democrats sit together in a room to work on bipartisan bill, but reality is, that the majority is the majority, they don't want to do this. so i don't think it is likely. gillian: so if he is not going to cut a new deal with democrats on health care, and we have now started to see the president kind of dip a toe into the waters of executive action, exploring what he can get done, what he can make happen through his own prerogative and presidential power? we saw that with the mandate on birth control earlier in the week that you mentioned. do you think that is really the long-term way forward for this president? is it health care policy via

executive action, or is that more of a stopgap measure? >> i think that is the most likely action at least in the near future, not only as we said, the birth control regulation. we're looking purchasing insurance across state lines which is something republicans have wanted to do for a long time. the president does something like that via executive action it, would be a huge -- republican was absolutely applaud. the strategies he is employing in terms of talking to schumer but also wanting to do repeal and replace, a little perplexing from my republican sources on the hill. almost like trump is standing over the grand canyon, or trying to straddle the grand canyon here right? which is impossible. he talks to democrats. doing so, alienating republicans. doing things for republicans in terms of scaling back obamacare regulations, talking about repeal and replace, he alienates democrats. he is in a tough position right now. reality there is probably not going to be a lot of obamacare

repeal in the next couple of years of the why you see smaller executive orders i think coming out of the white house. gillian: makes sense that the president is stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to forge, carve out his own path forward on health care, delivering on his promise, whatever incremental ways he can do that. rachel we'll have more coming up next hour. hope everyone will stay with us. thanks so much. >> thank you. eric: meanwhile the senate intel committee, well it ran into a wall itself like to track down the author of the notorious trump russian dossier. why are there reports that members of special counsel robert mueller's team, they were able to speak with the former british spy who authored that, richard steele. we'll ask a former cia officer about that and what comes next in the investigation. vice president mike pence making emotional visit to las vegas this afternoon and hold as hope for the community

that as they hold a prayer service. >> we can not imagine your pain and sorrow. our hearts grief for you. we stand with you now and every day after. we pray god may carry you through the anguish and sorrow. unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what's in your wallet?

hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight... four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. eric: as we saw a few moments ago, vice president mike pence now in las vegas. earlier he spoke at a unity prayer service to honor victims of last sunday night's massacre. 58 doves were released, one for each innocent life so horribly and savagely cut short. meanwhile, investigators are of course still trying to determine why the gunman, stephen paddock, fired on the concert crowd in the deadliest mass shooting in our country's history. dan springer standing by in las vegas, with very latest and latest on the investigation. hi, dan. reporter: hey, eric. we've seen vice president mike

pence give speeches like this before. seems like they were made for him. he is heart-felt. he offered nation's prayers for the victims of this tragedy and the country is united against this fight with evil and it was pure evil sunday night as thousands of bullets rained down on a crowd of 22,000 people enjoying a country music festival. they were friday from the 30 second floor -- fired from the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay hotel. he was firing with a gun that had a bump stock which made them fire like a machine gun. the stephen paddock, professional gambler and loaner. the only people close to him, brother and girlfriend by the fbi and they had no idea they was coming. they went through thinks phone, financial background, nothing pointing to a motive at least not anything they're sharing. police and everyone else want to know why, residents say they don't have to know.

some gathered at memorial garden, condition contains 58 trees, one for each victim. >> people have misconception of our town that. it is gambling and alcohol but we have very strong community here. reporter: a lawyer is hired to represent some victims of sunday's shooting. he says he will represent those victims and sue the shooter, and mgm, and festival organizers. he filed a petition to have all of stephen paddock's assets frozen. at least until the fbi investigation is done. eric? eric: dan, we'll have more on a possible motive if there is one, later on in the next hour. thank you. gillian. gillian: mass shooting in las vegas is reviving the debate on gun control in america and it seems this time around, republicans may in fact share some common ground with democrats when it comes to a specific piece of equipment used by the killer who carried out that massacre. garrett 10 any has more. he joins us live from

washington. garrett? reporter: gillian, that is the biggest different this time around in the gun control debate. republicans and democrats have common ground when it comes to bump stocks. this allows him to use his semiautomatic weapons as fully automatic machine guns. they are currently legal due to interpretation of the gun control act by the obama administration a group of nine gop senators is asking the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives to review the regulation. in a letter to the head of the atf on friday, the senator said in part, unfortunately we're all now keenly aware how this device operates. we believe this renewed review and determination will keep our citizens safe and insure that federal law is enforced. earlier this week the nra may have paved the way for that request when it announced it supported that idea as well. >> what the nra has said, we ought to take a look at that, see if it is in compliance with federal law, and it's worthy of

additional regulation. that being said, we didn't saban. we didn't say confiscate. reporter: despite that agreement, democratic leaders are criticizing these efforts, arguing that by simply changing regulations rather than passing new laws, republicans are trying to avoid making any meaningful changes to gun control. >> they are going to say if you give them bump stocks, it will be a slippery slope. i certainly hope so. but i don't think bump stocks should be a substitute for the background check. reporter: there are already a number of pieces of legislation in the works by members of both parties looking to either limit or ban bump stocks, but as we've seen time and again, congress tends to take its time, particularly when it comes to heated issues such as gun control which is why republicans say changing the regulation will be a much faster way to get bump stocks off the market. gillian. gillian: get bump stocks off the market. two companies that we know

manufacture them have been sold out for the last couple of days. they're already in the hands of thousands more americans. but garrett tenney. reporter: getting them off the street will be difficult. gillian: we'll keep eye on this and bring you more. thanks, garrett. eric: there are new reports about the russian investigation this weekend, saying member of special counsel robert mueller's team, they traveled to europe to ininterview christopher steel. you know him, the former british intelligence officer who authored notorious dossier alleging personal and financial ties between russia and trump campaign and other salacious stuff. this comes days after the senate intelligence committee hit a wall into its own investigation into the dossier. north carolina republican senator richard burr who is the committee chairman. >> the committee can not really decide the credibility of the dossier without understanding things like, who paid for it? who were your sources and subsources? we're investigating a very

expansive, russian network of interference in u.s. elections. eric: joins us vice president of spg, former senior executive clandestine service officer for the cia. dan, good to see you. first of all the independent counsel investigators apparently went over to london to meet with steele. no-go for the senate committee. apparently no one is saying who paid for this. does the senator have a point? >> i think the senator has a point. i also think from the perspective of mr. steele, this is an extremely sensitive and politically-charged investigation and mr. steele may have been concerned about sharing substantive details with our elected elect officials even from the intelligence committee. he may have been concerned about sharing details about his sources. eric: in other words you think he doesn't want to have any leaks? >> yeah, i think he would be concerned there would be the potential maybe some of those names of his sources, whom i

suspect he may still be using would be leaked. eric: in this report, we've heard all about it. a lot of it is unsubstantiated allegations. it is absolutely wild. is it essential to put any faith in this stuff and apparently the fbi was willing to pay money for isn't. >> that is the responsibility of the special counsel. really i think there are three areas about which to be gravely concerned. first, who are the sources? steele is an mi6 officer who served in russia and did not travel there himself. he used sources who spoke with others inside russia to collect information that wound up in the dossier. who were those sources and who were their subsources? secondly, what is the reporting record of these sources? i'm sure that steele's used them in the past. for all we know he continues to use them them. has their previous reporting turned out to be true? what is the veracity of their reporting, record of their reporting? i think that is a very important issue. then third is, the methods, how did they collect the information

inside of russia? were they potentially exposed to russian intelligence service, fsb scrutiny? which certainly would have caused some concern as well because if we look at the russian cyber intrusion in our social networking and media sites, they were seeking to spread disinformation and i don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility they saw this as a channel to spread disinformation as well. eric: so i mean, talk about the disinformation, spy versus spy. you have experience in this. they would put something out there that is not true hoping that it would go viral and infect the body politic. >> absolutely. one thing i learned from all the years i served in moscow and worked on russia target, they're constantly searching for channels to spread disinformation to achieve their covert aims. and, this potentially could have been another one of those channels for them to try to exploit. eric: should we take this report seriously? >> i think that's a question yet to be answered. i wouldn't take any of that

dossier to be serious or credible yet, until it is proven to be so. and at this point we haven't proven it to be so. we don't know enough about how the report was collected or who really collected it to really determine the veracity of the information therein. eric: these are type of questions do you think mueller investigators actually asked steele face-to-face? >> i would hope that they did. separately i would hope the senate intelligence committee with ask our intelligence community to assess for themselves, what is the veracity of this dossier using our other sources and methods? does any of it make sense? we certainly collect a great deal on russia. it is certainly possible, if i were in a position to ask, is it possible that russia was sewing discord in our political system deliberately, rather than this being some kind of a accurate information? i think there are a lot of questions to be answered. eric: do you think the intelligence committee done that. do you get pushback? or the intelligence committee,

we can't talk about this stuff, it is classified, super classified. or super-duper classified? >> i would imagine the intelligence community, the intelligence community is working very closely with the senate and the house intelligence committees just to get at those specific issues but i would imagine that it is absolutely highly classified because our sources and our methods of collection on russia are indeed very, very highly classified. eric: do they give that, classification the senators have, do they have intelligence classified clearance for the stuff? >> i would absolutely expect them to be briefed, absolutely, yes. eric: president trump called this totally made up facts by a sleeze bag political operatives. we'll have to see as it continues. we'll see if mr. steele ever does reach these shores and see if he has opened or closed testimony. mr. hoffman, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. eric: thank you for your service to our nation. >> thank you. eric: of course. gillian? gillian: first-responders and doctors in las vegas are being

ems crew. gillian: that is the clark county fire chief commending job done by first-responders called to the chaotic scene of last sunday's mass shooting in las vegas n situations like this, first-responders and e.r. doctors have to make split-second decisions to save as many lives as possible. for more on this, joining me now is dr. manny alvarez, senior managing editor at foxnewshealth.com. dr. alvarez, thanks for being here. >> you got it. gillian: i want a quick temperature check from you what happened last weekend. how did first-responders do overall? what is the sentiment about that? is this something victims and families, by extension and all americans should be happy with? >> i think we should be happy. we should be proud. it brings almost tears to my eyes because, you know, when you are going into medicine, whether a nurse or any kind of technical person in a hospital, you go in there trying to fix problems,

disease diagnosis, surgery, so on, so forth. you know for the last cowell of years every trauma center in the u.s., every hospital in the u.s. has had to transform itself into almost like a war-like mentality. you know, it is like a mash unit. we never really, we dealt with automobile accidents and fires, things of that sort but now it is like mass shootings, with dozens of injuries that are, you know, typically found only in warfields, so, the whole transformation, and quick transformation that these e.r. doctors and nurses, everybody else has to undergo, react way they're reacting it have outcomes they're having is a miracle. it really -- my brothers and officers, i can't say -- sisters and i can't say how proud i am of those groups of people. gillian: one thing that was really highlighted in the wake

of vegas, just how incredible first-responders in the area were. >> yeah. gillian: how seamlessly, flawlessly able to as you say, expand the capacity for these people who were affected, who were victims of this shooting. >> yes. gillian: i want to ask you, is there a lesson that we can kind of pull out of vegas? or are there many lessons? what are you thinking now? >> i think we're learning lessons every day. as i said, now we're in this domestic terrorist war, whether from terrorists or mad men creating mass shootings. now we're learning lessons. i have to tell you, we wrote a piece today, can read it in foxnews.com opinion, what i'm saying nowadays we have to look at staffing in our hospitals especially big areas where you have big parties or concerts. you have to look bringing back first aid education to schools. kids, i taught my my how to do

cpr. put on a tourniquet, deal with penetrating wound. we have to get basic health first aid education back into our schools. of. we have to teach the public, don't wait to have a crisis before you donate blood. you have optic in blood donations. week or two from now we have empty blood banks. we have to kind of change the attitude where everybody is a participant. you could be, anybody could be the first responder, especially if you have somebody next to you who just got shot. so, again, these skills become sort of mandatory, because everybody wants to help. unfortunately until all of this gets under control, we are not only victims, but also are participants in helping others survive. gillian: so how do you think this should work inside of american families you? said starting early with childhood education?

>> yes. gillian: what should at adults do? we get training impart it to our children? >> you could do it in many ways. do it as parental unit. do it in schools. you can have community classes in your neighborhoods, where the local fireman or personnel from the hospital can go and teach. there are many ways. the point we need to expose our communities more than ever on first aid, as we saw here in vegas, a lot of life-saving things that happened is because the citizens took it upon themselves to put the injured, press down on the bleeding, run with the pickup truck or a taxicab, immediately to the hospital. those things make mortalities go down and, unfortunately, this is kind of becoming something that we see very frequently and we have to do something and learn from it. gillian: so the takeaway is, all americans have a role to play? everyone can help?

no gesture is too small? >> absolutely. gillian: dr. alvarez, thank you very much. eric: thanks, guys. there has been another terrify ing incident on streets of london. a car, again, plowed into a crowd, hitting a tourist hot spot, injuring a dozen people. we'll have a live report whether or not this is another terrorist act from london, next.

terrorist-related incident. however police say they are still investigating possible motives. london ambulance service says most of the people hurt suffered leg and head injuries. the police say none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening or life-changing. while this turned out not to be terror-related it is a stark reminder how on edge the uk is. the police response was immediate. streets were shut down in minutes, with armed police on the scene in quickly. the reminder of the that uk is constantly prepared. there have been five terror attacks in the uk alone, three of them involving vehicles. there is a great sense of relief here knowing this could have an lot worse. eric? >> benjamin. thank you so much. luckily, thankfully it was not terrorism despite the injuries. gillian: we're tracking nate as it turns towards the gulf coast. thousands of residents are hung

♪ >> eric: hurricane nate is

gathering strength at this hour as the eye storms toward the mouth of the mississippi river. officials tonight are taking no chances. evacuations have been ordered, a curfew in new orleans starts in 2 hours from now and they say nate could be a category 2 hurricane when it strikes later tonight. hello, everyone, and welcome i'm eric sean. jillian: i'm gillian turner in for are a tell neville. prepare for 80 mile-per-hour winds and possible tornadoes. >> this is a very, very dangerous category 2 hurricane that is going to make impact in the dead of night. so, every mississippian needs to understand that the surge is real, 11 feet of surge is very, very significant. 80-plus mile-per-hour winds are significant. spin-off tornadoes are significant. so this is the worst hurricane that has impacted mississippi since hurricane katrina. >> eric: those are the warnings at this hour. begin with fox team coverage tracking hurricane nate. phil keating waiting for the

storm in mississippi. first let's go to meteorologist adam klotz who are in the extreme weather center at fork. adam, just heard those warnings and what we can expect later on tonight. >> he really nailed it big impacts going to be coming with this storm as it makes landfall through the overnight hours. currently looking at winds at 90 miles per hour. that's a category 1 storm. if it gets to 95 miles per hour. that's a category 2 storm. we are knocking on the door of that already. it's a quick move, looking north-northwest at 23 miles per hour. that does mean that the rain isn't going to pile up a whole lot because it's moving so quickly. but that rain already beginning to impact areas along the coast. here's what it looks like. and this is from a radar. so it reaches out into the gulf of mexico. you are picking up there's the center of circulation. we have bands of rain, heavy rain at times, already stretching across mobile. a little bit of light rain moving towards the new orleans area. the heavier rain is still offshore. some of these outer bands beginning to impact some folks along the gulf coast. that's the only going to intensify here in the next several hours. here's what it looks like and here is how this motion

goes. making landfall through the overnight hours by early tomorrow morning, perhaps still a hurricane briefly, but it does weaken fairly quickly, catches a trough and this thing is actually going to be running up into the northeast by early next week. but there is still a long time between now and then for folks right along the gulf coast. here is your future radar, again, your area of circulation, your center of it pay attention to the time stamp up in the corner. i will put it into motion for you. as i said, you are already beginning to see some of this rain. here you are at 10:00 p.m. beginning to get very close to that center making landfall. will be happening probably 11:00 to midnight. still a little bit of indecision there if it clips some of these outer barrier islands in louisiana area. lifting to the north, just lingering then unfortunately. i'm taking you all the way until early tomorrow morning. and you are still looking at fairly heavy rain here right along the coast. that's 8:00 a.m. for you on sunday. this is going to be an event that folks along the gulf coast going to be dealing with overnight hours. new orleans south the clear.

again, it's the right side of these storms that typically you see some of the worst weather and that's where we're going to be seeing it. now, again, here is the center of circulation. we were talking a little bit about storm surge. i'm thinking widespread, 3 feet to 6 feet there are going to be areas getting up to 9 feet, 10 feet, 11 feet. still a very big storm, eric. >> eric: remember the devastation in new orleans katrina this not comparable but still it damaged mississippi, the gulf shores, that area, too so much. all right, adam, thanks. jillian? jillian: not just louisiana but mississippi, too is now preparing for hurricane nate's landfall this evening. the governor has put six southern counties under a state of emergency. the center of the storm is expected to hit the mouth of the mississippi first. and then the -- and the coast of southeastern louisiana later. phil keating is live from gulfport, mississippi, phil? >> good evening. right now we are in between howling rain bands of hurricane nate.

last one came across. next one distance coming up. when they do this gulf of mexico really stars churning and burning and splashing all over the place. a lot of locals have come down here in between now that the rain has stopped and winds not really strong yet. but everybody knows the worst is yet to come. locals have been bagging sandbags to take them home, put them underneath their doors, along their windows as well as anything they can do to prevent floodwaters from going in there. and, also, people were boarding up their businesses, their houses, all along the coast line mississippi and much of alabama right now. it's really difficult if not possible to find a business that is still open. the beaches are mandatorily closed right now in southern mississippi. you can't even really get close to the sea wall. and they don't even want anyone out here. the emergency operations center they want everyone at this point to be staying at

home or have been evacuated out. this morning all of the hotels and casino resorts biloxi, massive exits people checking out and getting back home out of the the way of hurricane nate. the director told me this afternoon the biggest concern is not the strong winds, not to 4 to 6 inches of rain. it is the possible 11 to 12 feet of storm surge. take a listen. storm surge is a big concern of ours. seeing the water build in the back ways affecting our rivers. we knew that we would see some flooding because of that. that has actually started. we have flood warnings out on all of those and our back bays are filling up. people are starting to see water come upon their piers and in their yards. >> one of the locals who was just standing out here at the sea wall getting splashed occasionally and squealing with delight on their videotaping told me she was just here to do it for the thrill of it all.

as the director of the eoc says in the next several hours, it's not going to be thrilling. it's going to be scary. they really want everyone home and that's why there is a 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. curfew for everybody. they think the winds are going to be dark. heavy, it's going to be dark when this makes landfall. and it's going to be difficult to see debris. they really don't want anyone on the road. just wait for the storm to pass. it's moving fast. so, should be in fast. out fast. we'll see how much damage but everyone is bracing down tonight. jillian: businesses are closed. homes are boarded up. but, phil keating, you are out there covering this storm live for us. stay safe. thanks. >> thank you very much. >> eric: meanwhile, puerto rico, they are still dealing with the devastation from hurricane maria. officials there keeping a watchful eye on a dam that suffered damage from the heavy rains. and there still is that issue of electricity. you know that less than 10% of the people in there have power on the island. that means the vast majority

of those are still without power tonight. mike tobin live from san juan with the very latest. good evening, mike. >> hey, eric. the guys leading the relief effort promised it would be a slow recovery in terms of restoration of power. and they have made good on that promise. you mentioned that number said it was less than 10%. we just got an update through the governor's office, now 11% of the country is back on the grid. that still means 89% of the country is without power. it's not a situation like it was in florida where they could stage the trucks just out of the reach of the storm and then descend by the thousands onto the state to start preparing power. being floated across the ocean. the same thing with the power poll poles, they are too big to be cost effectively flown in aircraft. those have to be on boats. and they are on their way here to be part of the restoration. we are seeing burgeoning trade in terms of the guys

who particulars generators. these power generators are not expected to run around the clock they are doing now. people so reliant on generators ultimately those break down. you go by auto shop you will see a few guys huddled around a power generator getting that thing working again. now, eric, you mentioned the dam, that is in the northwest part of the country, a concern there is that they got a bunch of rain yesterday. rain fills up the reservoir and it makes a whole situation worse. the issue with the dam is the spillway. so much water came over during the course of the hurricane that it eroded the bottom of the spillway. the soil there is the consistency of sand. if enough water goes down and erodes that spillway away enough where it reaches the dam, you could be talking about catastrophic failure, flooding hundreds of homes down below. so what is happening with the army core of engineers, navy pilots are working with u.s. marines. those marines are hooking cables up to jersey barriers. navy pilots are coming in with big ch 53 helicopters.

pigging up jersey barriers and dropping them at the foot of the spillway. essentially creating a big pile of rocks which in theory if it's big enough. it can stop. eric? >> eric: thanks so much. very slow progress but continuing. jillian? >> when one part of america hurts, we all hurt. when one part of america struggles, we all struggle. and when one part of america cries out for help, we always come together. to answer the call. >> that was vice president mike pence in las vegas earlier today. he was attending a unity prayer walk for victims of last sunday's massacre. investigators are still at this hour trying to figure out the gunman, stephen paddock's motivation for carrying out the deadliest mass shooting in american history. this as city leaders are calling for people to come together so that healing may begin in the city. >> we will not be defined by

the hatred of the low life that tries to attack us and take away our freedoms. and we will not be deterred from going forward in life, knowing the diversity of our community. jillian: dan springer joins us live from las vegas. dan, good evening. what is the mood like in the city tonight? >> yeah, hi, jillian. the mood is that this city will get beyond all of this, that they are already beginning the healing and to that end like vice president mike pence gave a very short but heart-felt speech today for the many victims. he gave sympathy and prayers. he gave praise to all those who are the heroes in this and for the country, he gave a show of unity. >> we find comfort in the knowledge that we are united as one nation. as one people, with one

voice. united in our grief, united in our support for those who have suffered. and united in our resolve to end such evil in our times. >> now, after his remarks, pence visited one of the growing number of memorials here in las vegas. this was the first one downtown and several have popped up since then, including white crosses by the iconic welcome to las vegas sign. there is also a garden memorial that opened last night. hundreds of volunteers planted 58 trees, one for each victim. and two women showed up who nearly escaped being victims last night. they were near the stage when the shooting began. >> it's beautiful, honestly. like it was such a horrific thing and being able to like bring something beautiful out of it, it means so much. >> the investigation appears to have slowed despite 1,000 fbi agents being involved, plus all the local cops. the bureau announced yesterday they are

sponsoring billboards asking for the public's help in finding a motive. a retired agent says he doesn't think one will ever be found. >> this guy is a complete anomaly. he is the antithesis of what i expect to see when i see regrettably see one of these mass shootings. >> but the bureau also says they will not stop until they have found out motive. by the way, no news conference today. they had one yesterday. not one the day before. so the news conferences are getting much more sporadic. another sign that the police just don't have much to go on: back to you jillian. jillian: it's sort of amazing that six days later and we still don't have a clear motive here. astonishing when you look at this compared with recent tragic events like this. dan springer live from las vegas. >> you never see it, right. jillian: thanks, dan. >> eric: five minutes talking about a potential motive with retired las vegas police lieutenant.

police from london say it was not a terrorist attack. [sirens] well, you can see and hear the police rushing to the scene. they say a driver crashed into 11 people on the sidewalk this afternoon. this happening outside london's natural history museum popular tourist spot. nine people taken to the hospital. they are expected to be okay. two others treated at the scene. police say they have arrested the driver. and they are calling this incident a, quote, road traffic collision. jillian: president trump is still fighting for healthcare reform. he spoke just moments ago. take a listen. >> well, if we could make a deal, at least on a temporary basis, because obamacare is exploding. it's going. the premiums are through the roof. jillian: obamacare is exploding, he says. so can he work with democrats on this? and how will republicans

feel about that? we will take a look. plus, las vegas police are taking a unique approach to try and figure out the las vegas shooter's motive. more on that up ahead. stay with us. >> we have run down more than 1,000 leads in this investigation. while some of it has helped create a better profile into the madness of this of this suspect. we do not still have a clear motive or reason why. used anotr insurance product but i was like well i've had usaa for a while, why don't we call and check the rates? it was an instant savings and i should've changed a long time ago. there's no point in looking elsewhere really. we're the tenneys and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today.

♪ ♪ >> eric: police in las vegas are taking a pretty unconventional root t route to d answers in last sunday's horrible shooting there. they are now using billboards in las vegas asking for the public's help. so far investigators have discovered stephen paddock while they say he scouted other locations across the country renting or contacting hotels in both boston and in chicago. even renting out a room overlooking the lollapalooza festival in chicago before he went on his deadly rampage in vegas. but, as part of the investigation comes into focus, one huge question remains about president dockpaddock, why?there does note specific reasons authorities know about. will they get it a retired lieutenant for the las vegas metropolitan police department joins us.

lieutenant, thank you for joining us tonight. >> my pleasure. >> eric: so far mr. paddock no radical political leanings that they know of. a wealthy white man, gambler. but the effort of the investigation really is just beginning. >> well, let me say this. stephen paddock is the boogie man. he is the nightmare that everyone in law enforcement dreams about. he doesn't fit any profile. he does not step into the role that we would expect to find and it appears to me that he is smarter than most of us are giving him credit for. he pulled off the worst mass shooting in american history. he has left almost nothing for us to look for. he is an enigma. and we might -- this might be his last -- his last

hurrah for us by denying us the ability to even know why. >> eric: do you think then that is integral to what happened, that he purposefully covered the tracks as much as possible to not leave these clues for authorities or is it a possibility that they did it so well that they are hiding something? >> you know, that's the question. and after, you know, this is an unprecedented effort here. you heard that there was 1,000 fbi agents. let me put things in perspective. in most homicides, even in the most gruesome of homicides, there is a team of detectives that are assigned to a case. in this particular case, we not only have all of the resources of the las vegas metropolitan police department, which can i assure you is one of the best police departments in the country, but we have the federal bureau of investigation who has unlimited resources both locally and federally and

internationally. and i can assure you that this is an international investigation at this point. and, yet, they're resorting to something as crude as putting up billboards. i have never seen this before in 34 years of policing. we have seen billboards used for locating missing persons at certain times. a billboard here. a billboard there. but it shows you that the leads are drying up and this is frightening. >> eric: especially face is all over television and every newspaper in the country. look, he had to learn somehow to shoot these weapons. they actually are pretty sophisticated if you don't know anything about them. so where did he practice? who practiced with him? who knows when he practiced because you just don't show up in a mandalay bay room, knock the windows out and puts these things together and start opening fire. >> you are absolutely right. this is going to be a major part of the investigation. the atf is really, really good at locating where weapons are manufactured and

basically tracing their life. i think they will do a great job of finding out where they were obtained, who they were obtained from, et cetera and so forth. but the question is where did he get trained? and this is going to be a huge part of the process. who trained him? clearly someone did. he didn't get this knowledge from the internet. he might have gotten some of it but he went out and practiced somewhere. now, keep in mind, that there is a big dessert out here in las vegas. and a lot of the locals, a lot of the people who use firearms they don't go to the ranges. because clark county is 8,000 square miles and most of it is dessert. can you go out there and can you find a nice isolated place to shoot. he may have done that or he may have had someone take him out there with him and show him which will make things even increasingly more difficult to locate then. >> eric: finally, look, could he be obviously mentally unstable and he had gambling losses? apparently he stayed at one

hotel four months apparently gambling. this was a way to try to take it out on people having a good time and enjoying it and he wouldn't have any type of manifesto. >> this is the whole problem. we have no idea. we don't know what is going on in his sick little mind. and it is a sick little mind. we don't know. and that's what is driving all of us crazy. you know, we, as human beings, we have a need to know. and especially the families of these victims and the shooting victims themselves. they need to understanding at least have a -- some reason why and i think he may be as his last statement to us, denying us even that. >> eric: that would be astounding. lieutenant randy sutton, thank you for your service and, of course, thank you to your brothers and sisters in law enforcement in las vegas for how they responded, what they are doing and to those

across the country. thank you. >> thank you. >> eric: jillian? jillian: some gulf states are already starting to feel the effects of hurricane nate as the storm bears down on the united states. the a look how the people in nate's path are coping and preparing for the onslaught. president trump is preparing for disaster and promising a decision soon on the iranian nuclear deal. reports are he will pull out of the deal. some security experts say that would be the wrong way to go. caused by reduced tear production due to inflammation, restasis multidose® can help, with continued use, twice a day, every day, one drop at a time. restasis multidose® helps increase your eyes' natural ability

>> eric: this is a fox news alert. we are watching hurricane nate at this hour. you know, it's threatening to bring category 2 level damage to several states. all along the gulf of mexico starting tonight. including, of course, alabama, mississippi, and louisiana. evacuations now underway in eastern new orleans where a curfew is set to begin in that? i 90 minutes.

>> most of the water that we're going to see will be because of storm surge. and obviously no one should take this storm lightly. it has proven to be very deadly. in honduras, and anything rawg i can't annicaragua.we have not taking it lightly. we are still very concerned and no one should be complacent. >> eric: this is a familiar message, something we have seen the past few weeks. casey stegall live at lake pontchartrain in new orleans. is he talking about the storm surge, casey. i mean, you have the lake behind you. those counterclockwise winds that they come from the north over. get hit in new orleans both sides. >> that's right, eric. and when we talk about storm surge, this is really where we're talking about. lake ponch train her pontchartrn new orleans. this is connected to lake born which feeds out into the gulf of mexico. so the surge pushes its way through and we had some new

orleans police officers here not long ago saying that they fully expect the area you see back here where people are still walking right now, they very much expect this to be under water by this time tomorrow. so, emergency officials say the window to get ready is quickly closing and that all precautions should be rushed to completion. we want to show you some video now of how some of the folks are doing that because folks here are putting their furniture, they are moving it to higher ground into second stories of their homes if their homes are not on stilts. you also have a lot of people that have been out in the marinas frantically working to get their boats out of the water and move them further inland because of storm surge as we well know can topple boats and large vessels around like toys. also, you have to think that this area also draws a whole lot of tourists from all over the world.

and while the folks who live here and call this area home know the drill by now, some of the people visiting do not. and the mayor of the big easy had this message for those folks. >> we're also mindful that we have 40,000 visitors in town. we are working with the cbb and house leaders to make sure they have all the information they need to stay safe in new orleans. due to expected heavy winds and fast moving nature of this storm, we all want our visitors to plan ahead and to be comfortable. >> now then, of course, a storm like this also impacts the oil rigs and the platforms way out in the gulf of mexico. 302 platforms have been evacuated. that makes up about 41% of the total number out there. and then you have 13 rigs that have gone offline and been evacuated. that accounts for about 65% of all of the drilling rigs out in the gulf. and then fast forward to the

gas stations, we have seen lines all across the region, not just in louisiana but neighboring mississippi, alabama, florida as well. folks heeding evacuation orders, filling up their tanks on the way out of town. and people who are deciding to stay and ride nate out are filling up tanks for generators and any needs that they may have. once the storm comes through because, eric, the mayor of new orleans said in that press conference not long ago that parts of the city could certainly be without power. some 1800 energy crews are on stand by. should that happen to try to get everybody up and running as quickly as they can. so, a lot of different factors we're looking at here. storm surge being the primary concern, eric. not so much the rain but the storm surge as high as up to seven feet in some places along the lake that has folks concerned, obviously.

>> eric: they had flooding in august from thunderstorms. i hope those pumping stations are all up and running and working. casey, thank you. we will check in with you later. jillian? jillian: president trump expected to announce soon that he won't recertify the iranian nuclear deal. but that may not mean the u.s. is pulling out of it all together. the white house press secretary sarah sanders indicated this is all part of a larger strategy. >> the president isn't looking at one piece of this. he's looking at all of the bad behavior of iran, not just the nuclear deal as bad behavior but the ballistic missile testing, destabilizing of the region. number one state sponsor of terrorism, cyber attacks, illicit nuclear program. he want to look for a broad strategy that addresses all of those problems, not just one offing those. that is what his team is focused on and that is what he will be rolling out to address that as a whole in the coming days. jillian: nile gardner joins me now, he is director of the margaret thatcher center

for freedom at the heritage foundation. nile, good afternoon. thanks so much for joining us. >> my pleasure, jill i can't believe. jillian: as we understand it now, if the president decides not to recertify iran, it doesn't actually kill the entire nuclear deal but, rather, sort of kicks it over to the congress for them to make a decision. is that right? >> well, that's right. it doesn't immediately kill the deal. however, it does place tremendous pressure on the deal. i think this is the right approach. i think the president is correct not to recertify what is, in my view, a disastrous agreement signed by president obama. really as an an act of appeasement towards iran. this deal does nothing whatsoever to enhance in the long term security of the free world. and so, dessert face of this deal throws it over to congress. 60 days to reimpose sanctions against tehran. my sense is that congress is likely to do so. and this certainly could well unravel the entire

deal, which i think the president views as what he called it an embarrassment actually to the united states. i think it's a deal that fundamentally does not address the major threat that iran poses to the free world. so, i think it's a bad agreement. it's an agreement that fundamentally undermines the security of the free world. jillian: you know, a lot of critics of the deal who agree with you, that it undermines u.s. national security interests, that it, perhaps, paves the way for an iran to develop a nuclear weapon faster than it otherwise would, a lot of those same critics say even though it's a bad deal, we negativing now two years in is likely to be more harmful than helpful and it's not a good strategic calculation for the united states. it's too costly. what do you say to that? >> well, i disagree with those arguments, actually. i think under this agreement and already this is two years into the deal now,

iran has been able to unfreeze about $100 billion worth of foreign assets. that's about a third of iran's g.d.p. huge amounts of money are flowing in to tehran as a result of growing business deals largely between european countries and tehran. also money flowing in from russia, china as well. and so the iranian regime is growing far, far richer. it is growing more aggressive and more assertive. it's building up its conventional weapons capability. it's testing ballistic missiles. eventually within 10 to 15 years, through this deal, iran will become a nuclear weapons power. and it will directly threaten the united states, america's allies in the middle east but also europe as well. so i don't see how it's in europe's interest, for example, to keep this deal together. as european capitalist also be directly threatened, actually, once the sun set clauses of the deal come into effect.

jillian: but, let's say that the president reneges on the deal, he said that part of his motivation for doing this -- part of his opposition to the deal is that he thinks he can hatch a better deal with the europeans, with the p-5 plus 1 countries that signed onto the original deal. the iranians have already put a stake in the sand. they said if the united states reneges on this deal, that's it. we are not coming back to the table in any way, shape, or form. this dialogue over nuclear development tore nuclear program is effectively dead. so, if that -- if this all plays out, how do you see the european community and the united states moving forward on this? is it back to the sanctions regime? is there something else the president has in mind? what do you think is going to happen? >> well, there is no doubt there is strong opposition to renegotiating the deal not only from iran but european union from the big european powers, russia and

china. i think the prospect for renegation for the deal are very, very low. i do think the best course of action for the united states is to reimpose u.s. sanctions against tehran. also to impose sanctions against foreign entities doing business actually with the iranian regime. that will have a chilling effect upon european investment pouring in to iran. but, ultimately, i do see the iran nuclear deal as a suicide pact actually between the west and iran. this is a deal that seriously of the entire free world. and this is a deal after all signed by, you know, president obama without the support of congress, without the support of the american people. this is a deal, frankly, that in my view greatly strengthens the hand of iran, which is why iran clings so strongly to this deal it's very important, i think, that president trump

lead on the world stage. it's not the position of angela merkel and macron to dictate world foreign policy. it's up to the president to decide what is in the best interest of the american people. it's in the best interest of the american people to hold iran to account and i do believe this deal itself actually is absolutely disastrous for u.s. interests and the united states should begin the process of withdrawing from the deal. jillian: nile, let's hope the president and the congress is able to cobble together a new sanctions regime quickly in response to this if this all goes forward. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> jillian. >> eric: president trump on another situation. is he not giving up on healthcare reform. today, do you know what he did? he is reaching across the aisle again for help. raising the question can democrats deliver the president the victory where republican lawmakers have failed? we're looking into that straight ahead.

>> eric: it seems that president trump is counting on the democrats to overhaul obamacare. he talked earlier today with senator minority leader chuck schumer about this. >> well, if we could make a deal, at least on a temporary basis, because obamacare is exploding, it's gone. the premiums are through the roof. you see what's happening. if we could make a temporary deal because ultimately we are going to have it back to the states. weaver block to block grant back to the states. if we made a temporary deal, i think it would be a great thing for people. but it's really up to them. obamacare is a disaster. the numbers are out. it's exploding like i said it would. so, basically, if we could do a one year deal or a two-year deal as a temporary measure, you'll have block granting ultimately to the states, which is what the republicans want. that really is a repeal and replace. >> eric: is this going to happen? editorial director for the

daily caller and host of wmal's morning on the mall. you heard the president say he thinks he have a deal that will last one or two years. is that really possible? >> it's possible because democrats have seen open to it. lamar alexander and patty murray republican and democrat respectively have been working on it for a while. they keep getting together because subsidies for the health insurance market are the big thing here. obamacare as he said is imploding, the government can't pass federal subsidies to keep funding all of these payments in order to keep premiums down. then the whole thing going to fall apart. what the president is suggesting maybe this phone call that he had with chuck schumer in the last 24 hours or so may have been in part to discuss, you know, maintaining those payments and doing that on a one or two year basis. the other side of this is what he was talking about block granting to the states. in order to send a bunch of money to the states and let's them figure out their own healthcare systems. that is what that graham cassidy bill was all about. >> eric: that failed. why do you think alexander

murray bill, i mean, how could that be different and would that pass muster with the republican establishment? look, you are short circuiting mitch mcconnell. he is cut out of this process. the president is saying i'm going with the democrats. >> well, isn't that a message for republicans? by speaking directly to chuck schumer, is he speaking pretty directly as well to the republican party. they have failed to get something done. he has been pretty consistent that he is upset with him about this. they have had seven years to prepare an obamacare repeal and replace. it gets in front of them and they went to what is it four earnest efforts to do that this year and all of them failed. which means the president has no choice but to turn to the democrats now and get something out of there. >> eric: here is what the president tweeted and let me read what you mr. schumer said. the president said i called schumer yesterday to see if the democrats want to healthcare bill. obamacare badly broken. big premiums, who knows, well then schumer shoots back the president wanted to make another run at repeal and replace and i told the president that's off the table. if he wants to work together to improve the existing

healthcare system, we democrats are open to his suggestions. hey, how about this? a good place to start might be the alexander murray negotiations that would stabilize the system and lower costs. you really see a convergence of interest with alexander murray? >> yes. and i think that we will in the end probably see something here, some agreement that continues to fund obamacare. ultimately, look, that graham cassidy bill that funding for block granting to the states the president and schumer, the president has been talking about probably will come back next year. senator graham said it will after they are done with tax reform. i think the president's hope is that they can do that ultimately though, repeal, replace, whatever you want to call this, this is a government-funded system, eric. even if they block grant to the states, this is federal money being spent on health insurance at the end of the day. >> eric: at the same time, doesn't that betray his base? isn't this the opposite of what he campaigned on or does it show what he also campaigned on the bipartisan campaign maker. >> this is much more in the

latter camp than the former. actually getting rid of obamacare and pulling it out by its roots we have seen how tough it is this year and senator rand paul seems to be the only one who thinks the only thing we agree on is repeal this baby and that's not what any of this legislation does. >> eric: finally get susan collins who has been opposed twice because of the situation in rural hospitals hos in maine and medicaid situation. get everyone then on board in the coming weeks and a couple of democrats or maybe more? >> it seems very difficult to do. i can't even predict that will begin to happen unless they're guaranteed they are continued to get the same federal money going into the states where have you these senators who are so resistant. susan collins, lisa murkowski among them. they are going to need guarantees they get lots of funding even if other states don't. >> eric: they do that potentialfully a bigger bill then it potentially could happen? >> yeah. it could happen. we'll see. i think they have a long way to go to see that graham cassidy block grant bill have any life. for now, the immediate

future seems to be that they're going to keep obamacare in place and give it extra funding. >> eric: the president is trying to keep this effort alive. we will see how it goes. vince, good to see you. >> good to see you, eric. >> eric: jillian? jillian: the horror that unfolded on the las vegas strip sparked new security concerns across the country what can we do to prevent it from happening again? a live report coming up from times square next. ♪
