morning. republican senator john mc-cain is dealing what is expected to be a fatal blow.... to the g-o-p's latest plan to repeal and replace the affordable care act. senator mc-cain says.. he will vote no on the bill.

the measure has not been reviewed by the non-partisan congressional budget office. and for mccain, there are too many unanswered questions. republicans cannot afford to lose any more votes -- which some analysts say, an impossible task. the deadline to repeal the universal health care act with just a fifty- percent majority vote in the senate, expires at the end of the month. after that, sixty votes would be needed to pass a bill.

today, we're out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. you have type 2 diabetes, right? yes. so let me ask you this... how does diabetes affect your heart? it doesn't, does it? actually, it does. type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. and with heart disease, your risk is even higher. you didn't know that. no. yeah. but, wait, there's good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease and lower your a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing.
8:30 am
stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so now that you know all that, what do you think? that it's time to think about jardiance. ask your doctor about jardiance. and get to the heart of what matters.

organizers of free speech week in the past couople of days. "that lack of confirmation isn't going to stand in the way of these events but it's a little confusing because we like speakers to confirm and be in touch with us so we can make sure and coordinate security with them."the security can be costly - like when ben shapiro came earlier this month. the u-c berkeley and the u-c system together shelled out about six hundred grand.if all the free speech week events do happen - with speeches from the likes of milo yiannopoulos - it will cost cal berkeley about a million dollars this time.

"the law is absolutely clear: the university, particularly a public university, has no choice but to abide by the first amendment, and these speakers, as much as we may disagree with some of what they say and how they say it, they have a constitutional right to be here."milo yiannopoulos is scheduled to
