>> what is rude, kicking 22 million people off health care in this country who you know can't afford it. >> i'm doing my best to make sure that we continue coverage, care for those with pre-existing conditions, eliminate mandates, and lower premiums. >> but the white house is trying to start rallies of their own now. they've reached out to their former campaign officials to hold repeal and replace rallies in maine and nevada to pressure susan collins and dean heller to change their votes and friday saw a self-imposed goal come and go. mitch mcconnell wants to revive the bill and have it quickly rescored and tried to do that but republicans were still deadlocked as friday hit midnight. so the president offered this solution. he said friday republicans should repeal and then replace later. president trump's idea, by the way, that would leave 32 million

people without health care over ten years. the senate republican bill would leave 22 million people without insurance. now the house republican bill, that would drop 23 million from the insured list and that is what is at debate at the moment. now the president taking heat from the states. even republican ones. this coming after his voter fraud commission asked all 50 states to hand over personal information on every single registered voter. at least 22 states have out rightly rejected or partially rejected the request. kelly o'donnell joins us live and she'll start us off with health care at the moment and the president getting into the discussion. something that some lawmakers think they are not sure whether it is good to have him there or not as they go through tough visits back at home. >> reporter: well, richard, the president sort of kicked in another idea, one that some republicans have talked about as a way to simply sort of change the dynamic. there are many republicans who

agree that a repeal should take place. so there is the thinking if they were to simply vote for that and then begin a separate process, to find a replacement, that that might be somehow more palatable. it does create a electoral problem and mitch mcconnell is saying, no, no, no, in part because of what you have described. if do you the repeal only, that could certainly be used against them in coming elections, but it also creates more uncertainty in the short run until they come up with a replacement. so it was an idea on twitter, the president kind of threw into the middle of all of this. but mitch mcconnell who are does control the process of how senators move forward said, no, they are going to stick with their plan to try to find consensus around repealing and replacing in one bill. we know that they missed their deadline of this week. they are now home in home states hearing from constituents in one form or another from town hall meetings and even bumping into them at holiday events for the fourth of july. will they have an answer when

they come back to washington? far from clear at this point. there is so much uncertainty about what republicans might be able to agree on and we just don't know the next steps. but at the moment it is a fail for senate republicans in trying to repeal and replace obamacare. richard. >> what is the president saying about the state's rejecting his request for voter records and voter information? >> reporter: so the president set up a presidential commission that is being led by the vice president but mostly it is being run by the kansas city secretary of state who is in charge of this mission, if you will, to try to understand were their voting irregularity andez alleged widespread voter fraud and so the commission is supposed to look at this and try to get to the bottom of was there fraud, were there irregularities and no evidence yet. so part of that is the commission is asking all states to turn over voter information. it is publicly available

information. names, address and social media numbers but because elections are handled by states, many states, those led by republicans and certainly by democrats, are saying no that is not an appropriate use of that information and they are concerned about privacy, they are concerned about how that information might be used to try to suppress the vote, by knocking people off the voter rolls if they are determined to show somehow be ineligible. so the notion the president had for having a commission that could give a big answer is finding more speed bumps with states not wanting to cooperate with the request from the presidential commission. richard. >> kelly o'donnell in new jersey where the president is spending most of the holiday weekend. thank you, kelly. joining me now, niles stannon, the white house columnist and great to have you here. so the ten day, and we'll tart with health care to go back to what we were discussing at the top of the hour. next ten days, as many republican senators are at home and getting -- well you heard it, they are in louisiana as an example, a real earful. how crucial will it be for the

health care bill? >> i think it will be very important, richard. because this period really gives voters a chance to make their voices heard and as we know the health care proposals that have emerged so far are deeply unpopular. they are not just unpopular with democrats, there were a couple of polls in the past few days that gave approval ratings in the teens for these plans. so i think that public disapproval will really find a human face over this ten-day period and that is bad news, frankly, for republican hopes of getting this bill or some measure passed. >> well senate majority mitch mcconnell is known as a tact is, getting things done behind doors and he did that in putting this together certainly under much criticism, but as he does go through senator by senator, might he be able to throw in pork, throw in give-mes if you will, to get votes that he doesn't have right now, is that

something you are watching? >> it is certainly something that i'm watching and certainly a possibility. we have seen for example the amount of money that could be available for the treatment of opioid addiction increased. we have seen some suggestion that there could be certain moves made to prolong the period over which the medicaid expansion is ruled back, but mitch mcconnell's central problem is that he needs to keep on board both ends of his paut party. dissatisfied moderate and conservatives who don't think the language goes far enough. that is a difficult political balancing act and one that not even a legislator as tactically skilled as mitch mcconnell has been able to succeed in yet. >> it has been said, that loss may be i win for him to move on to other major legislative wins that he could focus on such as taxes. when you look at what president trump has said just in the last

24 hours, we'll go with the repeal first, we can do the replace later on, you saw the numbers, 32 million people over ten years in that scenario, it is the worst case scenario, it would lose insurance. does the president help right now? is it what the senate majority leader wants from the president? >> it is certainly not what the majority leader wants. and president trump's conduct and this debut has been problematic for republicans on capitol hill. the president, of course, was enthused about the bill that the house passed then more recently and described that bill as -- this idea of repealing first and replacing later is not what mitch mcconnell wants to do. i think some people regard it as too clever by half. i mean, they say the political calculus for us but it seems a very difficult thing to bring off. >> you heard the axos reporting

there and as you look at the possibility of the white house going back to its campaign staff in states where both senators heller and collins are at saying we're going to try to get them and pressure them to move toward voting for the senate health care bill. what are you hearing about that and will this work? this afternoon protrump pulled down against heller earlier on. >> yes, exactly. i don't see honestly much chance of that working, richard. it is true that you might be able to turn out the president's most ardent supporters for repeal and replace but at the electorate at large it is an unpopular idea and looking at collins or heller and they are perceived as moderates and herl the most endangered republican up for re-election next year and

it is hard to see how it you work as a tractic and i don't see how that changes the calculus for something like hellir. >> thank you so much. >> always a pleasure. just ahead, how trump towers at the moment spread across the world, you've seen them, could be part of special counsel robert mueller's problem and why the ventures in countries like iran and georgia could span more and more questions. that is next. no, i'm good. come on, moe. i have to go.

disclosure. other deals include what mclatchy found, 565 companies mentioned in the latest financial disclosure and 159 were tied to businesses abroad or about three out of ten adding to the questions now of conflict of interest in the white house. the three out of ten is consistent with the pattern mcclatchy found. that from 2005 to 2015, trump increased efforts to diversify his empire into former soviet era countries, one example, in 2012 he began to trademark his name for real estate in nine countries including armenia, kyrgig stan and armine yu i, turkmenistan and expect for iran are expected to be approved and all of this could be in robert mueller's investigation and why trump tax returns or will be mined by mueller as he

investigates the president. and potentially what the president claims he has not done, but actually did do. joining us now, bill galvin, former fbi assistant direct for for new york and michael allen, from beacon global strategies and a former aide to president george w. bush. bill, what do you make of this mcclatchy investigation and the findings that they were looking at and the ties to foreign businesses, 156 at least, of the companies that he had on his later financial disclosure. >> richard, i really believe that those are things that will be fleshed out as time going on. to make a comment as to the veracity of all of these findings is probably not my purview right now. i think think that is best looked at by the special counsel. with that said, i think we have to look at what the relationship is with the special counsel and the qualities that bob mueller has, the integrity, the ethical

performance and character and unquestionable and i think bob no doubt will arrive at a conclusion that is honest, has integrity and will give the right answers, there will be no holding back on his findings. >> michael, as bill was alluding to, the special council and whey might be doing, how much of money impact do you think information like this and of course this is just one report on this one investigation, looking into business dealings. >> i think it is significant because, look, i think bob mueller, at the end of the day, is going to need to have said, i have a complete investigation, he doesn't necessarily have to go through every deal that the trump organization has engaged with abroad in recent years, but he certainly needs to do some due diligence, some look into this. because that might supply some motivation or explain some of the relationships that the trump campaign may or may not have and that would -- might be the basis for collusion, which is, after all, the main thrust of the

investigation as far as we know for now. so i think it is significant. i don't know that he wants to go down this rat hole for years. but i think he's at least got to take a pretty serious look at it so he can say in the end of the day, listen, i did a complete job and this matter is closed or moving forward with charges or whatever. >> bill, one of the notes being made in the report is that these business dealings were not in the financial disclosure from june, from president trump. as they investigate this, if they were to find, yes, these business dealings are real and, no, they were not on the footba -- the financial disclosure, what might that mean legally? >> the lawyers will have to look at that, but the bottom line is if they have -- intention to be left out of his disclosure, then i think that creates a problem. and i agree with michael. this is just another piece of

the puzzle that bob mueller has to consider. it is not an easy job that bob has, or a task that is easy for him in the future. >> i want to move on to another report that you are very aware of and that is michael flynn, peter smith. peter smith, who was claiming and is in his interview with the wall street that he was looking for hackers that had access or were able to find the clinton e-mails and that he had a close relationship at least from his testimony -- his interview with the wall street with michael flynn and at that point flynn was senior adviser. michael, this is the first specific piece of evidence that is being reported on allegedly that links, again, michael flynn to this activity set that might lead to collusion. >> yeah, this is a fragment, i think it is important -- it is an important fragment. it begins to sort of bring up a

question many of us have had, which is what might collusion have looked like had it occurred. this article in the "wall street journal" begins to lay some of that out. but listen, we've got a long way to go to try and figure out whether this is truthful or just a consultant operating in and of itself and on his own accord and dropping names. to me what this really begs the question of is michael flynn cooperating with the fbi. he is probably the rosetta stone to say listen here is who i was talking to and here is who others might have been talking to. i don't know that we know that definitively. it is a big guessing game here in washington. if i were the fbi, i would certainly be looking for someone like this. but he's the one that is going to be able to translate what kind of conversations went on and whether something like this is truly valid or just sort of a

tertiary matter. >> shane harrisy, and the "wall street journal," as you know, at the moment, bill, is a respected publication and when you look at that report, what concerns you or what do you look at from the details that were itemized in it? >> based on where it is coming from, the "wall street journal," you said, it is a very wonderful paper. what i want to say is that you really have to look at this as a piece of the puzzle, as michael says. you really have to take it into consideration. where does it fit. how did flynn become involved? who was he involved with? and there is no doubt in my mind that bob mueller will at one point or another have a long conversation with michael flynn. and you have to remember, too, that if in fact these people are put before a grand jury, there is going to be some absolute

truth that has to be told or else somebody will go to jail and i think that is the best way to approach there whole thing. >> and there will be no congressional open testimony with peter schmidt because as you know, he died ten days after that interview with the "wall street journal" but that would have been certainly a process that the investigations on the hill would have looked into no doubt. bill and michael thank you both so much. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> coming up, missing a major budget deadline. the state of new jersey gets shut down for the first time in over a decade as two other states face problems of their own. plus little rock is shaken by a horrific shooting that leaves dozens of nightclub-goers shot and it is a call from community leaders to top the violence. we have a live update next. and you have the determination to keep going. humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for nearly 10 years. humira works inside the body to target

>> reporter: well, at this point, richard, we're not sure about a suspect or possible suspects, which is what little rock police are saying. they believe it is possible that there were multiple shooters and multiple suspects. at this point, though, they have no names that they've released as far as suspects are concerned and no arrests have been made. now all of this started around 2:30 in the morning in the club behind me. the power ultra lounge, when all is said and done, 28 people were injured. 25 of them shot. two of them are in critical, but the rest we're told have nonlife-threatening injuries. at this point, police are stressing they do not believe this was a terrorist-related incident at all. but rather a dispute between two local groups. those are those words that police are giving us at this point. now law enforcement and witnesses both saw chaos when they got here. take a listen. >> some members with the headliner group for the entertainment attempted to enter the venue one of which who was

openly carrying a weapon. our officers engaged that individual and attempted to stop that individual but it appears the individuals went to an alternate entry into this location and actually gained access into the venue. >> i could see one person bleeding very badly and there was no ambulance yet so they were trying to get him to the hospital in a private car. it was chaos. it is unfortunate to have this thing to happen. >> reporter: crime scene units are still on the scene here. police have been combing the area all day. in the meantime, the city said they have revoked the license of the club and are now taking steps to shut it down. richard. >> and hats off to the first responders no doubt there, given the number of injured but no deaths and that is always good news in such situations. thank you so much there in little rock, arkansas. serious budget problems in three states. the maine's governor rejected a budget deal and a bipartisan group of legislators triggering a partial shut down of the state and new jersey shut down also

and welcome back. millions of people will be traveling during this fourth of july holiday weekend. and it is a long one. this morning los angeles international airport tweeted that they expect 1.2 million passengers. and travelers are expecting frustrat frustrated crowds and long lines are arriving early to get through tsa. joining me now from l.a.x., scott cohen and what are you seeing over there? >> reporter: well, richard, that

1.2 million is roughly a third of the people traveling by air this weekend. and the fourth of july weekend isn't necessarily normally the busiest weekend of the year but it wasn't a given that this would go smoothly. it is the first holiday weekend under the travel ban or the limited effect travel ban, also increases screening is already going on here at l.a.x. so people wo-- were coming in bracing for the worst but this part of the journey is not so bad. >> it is pretty good getting here to america from australia. it was a bit scary coming through border protection, but i think we expect that these days with the way things are and travel bans and banned items and things like that. >> i actually got the known traveller number so that i won't have to do too much screening so i have tsa precheck but i did still give myself an hour and a half. >> so that is the good advice also for people coming back, allow extra time.

this part has gone smoothly, but officials are still saying allow the extra time and traffic is steady and moderate and the hope is that it stay this is way as we get through the rest of the holiday weekend. richard. >> it is a saturday. we'll see how it is on friday -- excuse me on tuesday, on july fourth itself. thank you, scott yoen. and now to the health care debate. after putting health care on hold for the holiday break, a poll showing six in ten americans do not like the current senate bill. and even among republicans, fewer than four in ten are in favor of it. and with me now, republican congressman francis rooney of florida. representative, thanks for dropping by. i know it is a holiday weekend. but it is a topic that you know well here. you saw four in ten republicans at the moment supporting the current bill. i mean six are not. what is your reflection on that? >> well, i hope that the senate will get with the program and remember that they all ran on repealing and replacing obamacare with something that is

patient centered and offers choice to american insurance buyers and they seem to be caught up in all kinds of weeds here with the medicaid expansion. the medicaid expansion needs this radical overhaul that the house bill put it in. if was supposed to -- it was supposed to be a state centered program run by governors and accountable to by the state legislators subject to the people and i'm all for that. >> and as we look at the senate bill there is the concern about medicaid and medicaid expansion and how that might move forward. don't you have some concern about that and either one of the versions of the bills? >> no. if -- the way medicaid was conceived, it was a majority funded by states and president obama shifted the equation to draw the federal government into it and to radically expand the kind of people that could get it. this is supposed to be a poverty program for people that are at the poverty level and can't afford insurance. if this thing works as hoped, the states could deal with their medicaid populations the way they want with their own taxes

and we could focus on the affordable care act or stated equivalent types of choice opportunities for insurance for people who don't have groups. >> what about the states that can't afford it? >> well they have to get their -- they have to get their house in order. those are their people. they are not our people. if florida wants to create jobs that have a lean budget and pay its bills on time and have a good credit rating and have one of the cheaper costs for medicaid in the country, and have that robust job growth and opportunity for its citizens, great. why should we be paying for these states like illinois. >> when you look at some states, they will need that assistance from the federal government, that was the idea. if all states had taken in medicare, the revenue and cost structures would balance out and what caused this -- this imbalance, if you will, is that because medicare was built in to be adopted by all of the states an they have not, as you know about half have not adopted this

expansion, that is put it out of kiltner terms of costs being too high and revenue not being in place. go ahead. >> well the only way it was built in to be considered for all states is that what the obama administration originally wanted. i know most people i know didn't want any part of it. >> those on the right side were not in support of obamacare it was moving forward. and in this case, you now have the opportunity to fix it. and the question is, said about many of those watching the debate in d.c., are you ready, are the democrats ready to sit down as well and they are saying no, it is so far away. both sides are so far away from actually getting something done together and chuck schumer said that is possible, let's do sit down and figure out the tweaks. >> i think senator schumer is a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing on this. i'm hopeful that the majority leader and senator thune and

cornin could come to a way to bring people like senator heller along and that senator lee and cruise, would seem to be working behind the scenes to keep this a good conservative bill will prevail. >> and the house bill, the numbers above 20 million for the house version and the senate version of the republican bills to try to repeal and replace obamacare. how do you explain those numbers to constituents who question that of you? >> i love to do it. okay. and said right here on your show several times it is voodoo economics the way the cbo scored that thing. it is a static model that doesn't give any credence to behavior modification through the tax credit program and basically assumed if you rnts mandated to buy, you won't buy insurance under the new program. >> and are they responsive to that? >> yeah, most people seem to be getting it. the "wall street journal" is very responsible for writing a few articles about it.

and they also point out how far off the cbo was last time when they said that there would be 22 million people covered under the new program and in less than half of those were. they were off 125%. >> and we see the variations in any statistics but when you are looking at 22, 23, 32 million and you take out the variations, we are still talking about millions of americans that will not have insurance, congressman. >> mark twain used to say figures don't lie but liars figure. and there is something called the center for health and economics that scored the better way health program which is close to what the house passed and it said we probably have one million more insured in the ferst year and as many as 13 more insurers by 2026. >> ten days the senators are home and you've been through this before and debating with constituents and voters and the residents in their states and have to answer tough questions and you've heard some of that yourself as well as seen it just

within the last 24 hours. what are you -- where do you think this will end up, here, representative, once the senate comes back after the ten-day break? >> boy, i don't know. like i say, i know what i hope. but you know, this politics is a different line of work than business where you have to take tough positions and back them within w money and people's careers. i hope that they realize that they have faced the people that disagree and that it is not the whole country, that our half of the country wants this kind of reform, that we all ran on it, we've got to live -- live up to the commitments that they made to the people that voted for them. >> thank you so much, congressman francis rooney of florida. >> thank you. >> you bet. >> the threat of cuts to medicaid has many americans terrified of losing health care as we were just discussing with the representative. scott and adrian trig are the parents of 8-year-old hayden. he suffered from spina bifida among other ailments and undergone numerous surgeries and

requires a daily regimen of drugs and therapy and the family lives in texas where they are already feeling the impact of tate cuts to medicaid. joining me now is adrian and scott trig and their son hayden and the director of the texas association for home care and hospice. and thank you all for being with me this hour. and let me start with this question first. and as executive director and as you look at what the process is of medicaid cuts what are some of the impacts felt by residents in your state? >> so currently many of the providers are suffering at this point and so are the families who receive those services. the legislature passed 350 million reduction to very critical services for children in 2015. and those services -- or those

reductions in funding for medicaid has resulted in several businesses closing across the states, across the continuum and thousands of children going without services. >> adrian, what has that meant for you and your son hayden? >> well, the state changes and cuts in medicaid this year, we did have a delay of services. it quite honestly was meaning trips to the doctors office because we had delays with his medical supplies and we couldn't get medicine or catheters that he uses. he's had to wait 14 months for a wheelchair to come due to these cuts in medicaid and shortfall in our state budget. so it was devastating to our family. we're very fortunate that he didn't end up in critical care in the hospital from those delays. >> scott, how did you talk to your son, hayden, who is on your lap right there, how did you

explain these differences in services and how things were evolving? >> well currently, hayden has had 22 surgeries and 26 diagnosis and he really loves his physical therapy and occupational therapy and he loves his wheelchair and it is very important part of his life. and if we don't receive those services, we might be -- have to choose to institutionalize him, amongst other kids that receive medicaid throughout the nation. >> and hayden, how are you doing? >> he's not mic'd up right now but he is a little sleepy, but he really loves his physical therapist and that was something that he had to wait months to get reinstated and so that really delays some of his progress that keeps him independent and attending school. so there were big ramifications for us where the legislation, we

had no recourse with. >> it is great to have him here with us for this conversation. scott, you may have heard what the representative from florida said. it does not represent a district in your state. but when you hear the responses from lawmakers, about medicaid, what is your reaction been and have you been satisfied with the answers that you've heard? >> i have not. i think one thing is we were -- we pay for primary insurance and i have a great job which allows me that great primary insurance and i don't feel that this is helping our medically fragile kids, amongst other children that need to receive medicaid. i'm not satisfied with that answer. >> and adrian, what do you want to tell lawmakers, that do not have satisfactory answers for you? >> i just believe that this is an ethical issue. this is not a political issue, we're not a football to be

thrown with. these are our children's lives. it is not as the representative was saying simply medicaid is for the poor. this is something that is effecting our most vulnerable. this is definitely an ethical issue, not about tax breaks, not about health care. it is about ethics. with our child and with other families throughout the country that get diagnosis in utero, we're conservative and we choes life and this will make a big stand on those families that get diagnosis in utero and whether or not they choose to keep it knowing they have the safety net of medicaid. this is very passionate to our family. it is a very personal story that we are very fortunate to have this national platform to tell. and we really hope that our legislators will look at us and just to be seen that this is who it effects, we're average americans here that are working

and not just poor and impoverished and we're fortunate in the state of texas that they have allowed us to do a waiver program that is not based on income but on disability. so he getted medicaid based on the many disabilities that he has and we don't have to live at an impoverished level. >> rachel, how many hayden families are there out there right now and what are we missing in this story? what is the topic we're not talking about enough? >> really, i think those are fundamental misunderstanding of medicaid. and really who medicaid serves. i think i heard from the speaker earlier that medicaid is primarily for individuals who are poor or impoverished, however, as you see today working families also have to have medicaid because commercial insurance is so limited in the coverage that it provides for children with ongoing disabilities. and so these services have just

physical, occupational and speech therapy are critical to their ongoing development and medicaid provides the ability for children to receive those services. so as states face capitation for instance, that is contemplated right now in the federal health care bill, they really are going to have to be creative and in how they apply very limited funding and right now the system is absolutely biased toward institutional care rather than services provided in the community which are much more cost effective and obviously have a wonderful impact on children like hayden. >> adrian, quickly here, you're the mother, proud mother there of hayden. >> yes. >> and for those who are not listening, what is the sign you will be holding up so they could hear what you are thinking. just what you will write on that sign? >> i have a sign and it says

protects texas fragile children but it is really to protect our medicaid. this is life saving. by cutting nursing and cutting any of the attendant care or the therapies, you are taking profit from our children's pain. and that is really what i want them to know. this profit is at the expense of our fragile and most vulnerable population. >> adrian and scott and rachel and hayden and i know you can't hear me but thank you so much -- excuse me, trig, thank you for being here with me today. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> we'll be right back. i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance with geico. huh. i should take a closer look at geico... geico can help with way more than car insurance. boats, homes, motorcycles... even umbrella coverage. this guy's gonna wish he brought his umbrella. fire at will! how'd you know the guy's name is will? yeah? it's an expression, ya know? fire at will? you never heard of that? oh, there goes will! bye, will! that's not his name! take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more.

the uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni.

before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. recreational marijuana became legal to buy in the state of nevada today. there are big sums of money to be made in the marijuana business as many know. and with laws changing to allow more recreational use, is its now a good time to break into

this industry. savannah sellers got some answers for us. >> today is the day it is officially legal to purchase recreational marijuana in the state of nevada. but of course that is not the t case in the overwhelming majority of the u.s. so how can an industry with such an uncertain future continue to grow? the cannabis industry is booming, with $6.7 billion in sales in 2016, supporting businesses sprouting up all around and people from all walks of life joining in on the green rush. >> my background was 20 years on wall street. >> we've got someone who's looking for a ph.d. chemist. >> reporter: 29 states and the district of columbia now legally allow marijuana sales. with eight of those states and d.c. also allowing recreational marijuana. and while on the campaign trail then candidate trump expressed his support for this. >> i think medical should happen, right? don't we agree? i mean, i think so. and then i real believe you should leave it up to the states. it should be a state situation. >> reporter: but attorney general jeff sessions has the opposite view.

>> my best view is that we don't need to be legalizing marijuana. >> reporter: sessions also wrote a letter to congress in may asking to undo federal medical marijuana protections pointing out that "marijuana remains unlawful under the controlled substance act." this leaves the industry in legal limbo. marijuana, something that can make you millions in one state and get you arrested in another. >> how can you say that it's a good idea for somebody to be getting into this industry? >> so i think it comes down to two things -- money and public opinion. >> reporter: the money is certainly there. with sales by 2020 projected to jump to $11.2 billion for recreational marijuana and $13.3 billion for medical. it seems public opinion is changing as well. at a cannabis exposition in the middle of manhattan we spoke with carson hummuston who began a cannabis recruiting firm. >> i think with all the states which passed legislation in this past election people were really excited about it and they just see where the industry's going. so that's when we really started

seeing a spike. we went from before the election around 400 resumes a day to after the election 1,000 resumes a day or more sometimes. >> reporter: 1,000 people in a single day seeking employment within the industry. and the jobs are really there. >> how many people work for you? >> we have 66 employees. we have one of our multilevel marketing companies now has 7500 brand ambassadors. >> so you've got like 7,566 people who are making money in this industry just with your company alone. >> just with our company alone. that's correct. >> reporter: in fact, the marijuana industry currently employs nearly 125,000 people. and a quarter of a million jobs are projected by 2020. more than in manufacturing. so with a president who is big on jobs, one of the fastest-growing industry for employment, will it find stable footing? we might just need to take a teep breath to find out. >> it was so interesting to see the types of jobs that they're trying to fill as well as who is filling those jobs.

portions of president trump's travel ban are now in effect on this saturday but it's facing some new legal challenges along the way too. trump's new guidelines for family members who can and cannot basically enter the country getting a bit of scrutiny. hawaii is asking a federal court judge to rule that the list is too restrictive and violates monday's supreme court ruling. grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles are among the many who

are not allowed entry at the moment. although fiances have been moved to the approved list of family members who can travel to the u.s. joining me now is maria elena encapie, executive director of the national immigration law center. thank you for being with us today. what is the suit that's coming from hawaii? is it a solid argument? >> thanks for the invitation, richard. and for us at the national immigration law center we feel very privileged to represent the courageous plaintiffs that are challenging president trump against this ban, this muslim ban that is at its core un-american and in its intent is discriminatory. we've joined the state of hawaii as well to seek a clarification from the supreme court. we believe the guidance the administration has provided actually violates even the supreme court's order, which is not surprising given this administration has not been good at following any court order against this muslim ban.

>> how does it violate the immigration ban? >> well, one example -- and you mentioned this already at the top, which is the guidance that the administration first issued actually excluded fiances. one of our plaintiffs, mr. harrison, had his fiance, was banned under the original ban. the supreme court's order should have allowed him because he was our plaintiff to be one of the people whose family members, his fiance could enter the united states. the administration has subsequently issued clarification that fiances are allowed to come in. but at the core, richard, what this is really about is we are suing over the muslim ban. any ban is unlawful and unconstitutional. it doesn't matter whether it's partial or whether it's full, whether it's grandmothers or aunts and uncles. i'm an aunt. my nieces and nephews are critically important to me. and we in this country should be

fighting against any ban that rejects people because of their religious beliefs. we're about to celebrate the 4th of july in this country. our country was founded on religious freedom and rejection of discrimination. that's when this muslim sban all about. >> 30 seconds. this supreme court october seems to be what we expect to be the month when we maybe understand what they think. what do you think will happen? >> well, hard to ever predict what the supreme court justices will agree on. we're ready to face president trump at the supreme court in october and we're hoping that the constitution will survive and that justice will prevail and this muslim ban will be struck down. r marielena hincapie. thank you. have a great holiday. >> you too. >> have a great saturday on our long holiday weekend. i'm richard lui. stay with us right here for updates and breaking news as it does happen. and you can find me on twitter and instagram @richardlui and facebook @rlui.

joy reid is next. have a great night. ♪ if there isn't a combined repeal and replace plan, i'm writing a letter to the president this morning urging him to call on us to separate them. every republican in the u.s. senate except for one has already voted for repeal in the past. let's do that first. if we can't do them together, let's do as much repeal as we can and then let's have the president ask us to cancel our august work period and stay here and work on replace separate 37. just minutes after republican senator ben sasse proposed repeal and delay, "fox and friends" number one fan tweeted his endorsement.
