on the beach, then you should run for governor. >> you should be governor. i don't know if you saw it but his spokesperson was just on. i asked him if he got any sun, he was sitting on the beach. he said, well he was only there for 45 minutes. i'll let you decide. >> chris christie can engage with people. other people shy away and they are apologetic. chris christie decides to own it. >> that's one way of describing that. >> yeah. whatever he does, he owns it. >> happy fourth of july. >> and to you, thank you. anchor, as katie says, the country gets ready to celebrate independence day. some are choosing to spend their holidays in the streets protesting the latest health care plan from republican senators. many fear repealing obamacare could leave millions uninsured. dozens of states are saying no to the president's commission on election integrity and its request for voter role data. we will talk with hawaii's top leader about the plans and the

latest attack against the president's travel ban. big week for diplomacy and the president being anything but diplomatic with the media. check this out if you haven't seen it. what white house is saying after the president retweeted this particular video. has he gone too far? we will get to that tweet in a bit. president trump is spending part of his poll day weekend at his new jersey golf course and in another series of tweets announced he's been preparing for overseas trip later this week. he chatted with the heads of germany, italy and france ahead of them. ahead of meeting with them this friday for the g20 summit. while there he is also planning on sitting down with russia president vladimir putin. garrett haak is at the white house for us. what is going on with the preparations for g20. a lot of important things to discuss but a lot of people are trying to interpret what trump and putin are saying to each other. >> that's right. the meeting with vladimir putin will be the single most closely

watched meeting of any at the g20. one of the few the president has spoken to recently who he hasn't actually met. we will come back to that in a second. but the phone calls the president made over the last few days we know he spoke to leaders of china and japan yesterday focussing mainly on the threat from north korea. three european leaders he spoke with this morning, no official read out from the white house on those conversations. of the three i would be most curious to know, what is discussed with angela merkel. president trump, then candidate trump, very critical of german immigration policy and of merkel during the campaign. they had that frosty meeting at the white house after president trump was elected. and angela merkel signalled she wants a big part of the g20 summit to be about climate change and defending the paris accord that president trump pulled the united states out of. that being the main call today i would be watching. then there is this meeting with vladimir putin. we know a top state department

official met with the russian ambassador or is meeting with the russian ambassador to lay ground work for that meeting. the white house is not saying a lot about what is on the agenda for that meeting. but we do know that president looked for and continues to look for ways to work with russia and particularly work with vladimir putin on areas of mutual interest including fighting terrorism. a lot of folks staying tuned for that meeting and what if anything the white house will say about what the president wants to accomplish coming out of that meeting. >> garrett, department of justice official quit recently over the weekend. saying that try to hold companies to standards that are current administration is not living up to cognitive disdense that couldn't overcome to sit across the table from companies and question how committed they were to ethics and compliance felt not only hypocritical but shuffling deck chairs on the "titanic." what's the back story here? >> this is an ethics compliance officer who worked at the

justice dme justice department in 2015. my understanding of the position is it is more like an outside contractor and someone who is everyday doj official. again working with companies on making sure that they comply with government ethics rules. this woman re-signed a short time ago and wrote the essay you just quoted from on her linkedin page. that surfaced in a lot of media outlets. people picking it up and pointing out the kog thcognitiv disdense they dus cussediscusse. as former obama administration staffer or obama administration worker there at doj and this white house has been fairly outspoken about trying to make sure they get their people in positions at the justice department among other places, alan. >> right. there are places on social media that might suggest she is partisans, we don't know what her motivation is. we will try to get to the would

the bottom of that. garrett, thank you. i have the good fortune every time i look up on tv of being with you. >> thanks. >> garrett haake at the white house. once again challenging the president's travel ban. the new ban on thursday after last week's supreme court decision to hear the case. but hawaii central in the case against the government is calling the list ill logical. >> why is it that you know, those people are not allowed to come into the country? you know, what national security commissioner are you thinking about? >> of those predominantly muslim countries that are are banned, here is a look at exceptions to those that have family ties. right? so if you have, on the left of the screen, if you have a parent, spouse, fiance which was clarified, initially fiances were not allowed. child adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter in law, sibling, they can come in.

grand parent, grandchildren, aunts, nieces, uncles, brothers in law, sisters in law, other extended family members are not allowed. you are in a tie today. let's talk about this for a second. you're questioning the logic of the familial ties adds the administration wishes to enforce this travel ban. >> the supreme court made clear that what was most important to them was that the travel ban be enforced against people who have no connection to the united states. and so and then what they did is went on to give examples of people who could have a clearer close familial relationship with people who were in the united states and one of them was our l

shaykh's mother-in-law. what says if you're a sister-in-law or step sister then that is enough after connection to bring you into the united states. where as if you're a grandmother, as i was making in my comment before, or an aunt or uncle, then somehow that is not -- that's not good enough. and so really what we're trying do is just seek clarification before we start seeing a lot of lawsuits can come into the hawaii district court asking for different relief. judge, why don't you just tell us what that standard is and i think that will help everybody. >> and you being a lawyer, you would understand the legaling a umts. i'm not, so i don't. what's the issue here? is the issue the way the trump administration outlined the ban or the way the issue of clarity or the way that court issued its order last week. >> well, we really believe that u.s. government is adopting two restrictive and interpretation that are there trying to bite off a little bit more than what

the supreme court was actually giving them and so, you know, our argument is that look, what the u.s. government is doing right now is, they're creating this presumption that again goes against the people who are trying to get into the united states when what the supreme court was saying was something very opposite. saying that for now, between now and october, what we want to do is if you have no connection then we're not going to let you in. but if you have a bona fide connection to the united states, either individual or entity, then that is something that brings you in. again, we're just trying to seek clarity on this. >> and i understand that when you bring a case forward you've got to do it on the basis of law. if you are a bona fide refugee, and your contact point in the united states is refugee agency or sponsoring agency, you don't qualify to come into the united states now. so the refugees, the real reason

we talk about syria in a lot of cases, they are out under this ban? >> right. so that is a big problem with what the u.s. government is adopting in their position. in the supreme court opinion what was this is they are are saying we want to make sure that we are taking care of the plaintiffs that are in this lawsuit. meaning the hawaii plaintiffs, individual plaintiff in our case, but also the refugee association that brought the lawsuit in the fourth circuit case on the east coast. so this decision to not allow refugees who have a connection to refugee association here, that is completely opposite from what the supreme court was trying to say which was that we want to take care of the people who are actually harmed right now. no connection to people that they don't get in. but anyway, we really need to get some direction from the court. >> i spoke with chris last week who sent a letter to the secretaries of state, of all

states, asking for voter role data which goes well beyond public domain, public information data. and secretaries of state say they aren't complying with this. what's hawaii's position? >> we haven't gotd gotten the letter yet. sometimes mail takes a long time to get here. however, once that request does come in, i'm sure it's go tock treated with a lot of skepticism. i think what we are seeing from all around the nation, is that you have red states and blue states that are very concerned about this request. not just from a privacy standpoint, but just even in terms of complying with their laws. >> donald trump is -- donald trump thinks have you something to hide. he tweeted this -- not you, necessarily. but states that refuse ped. numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished voter fraud panel. what a what are are they trying to

hide? >> by all accounts voter fraud incidents are very low. but the bigger problem is denying people voter access, that is a big concern that i think both red states and blue states have brought up. and finally, i think the other concern that people have is that we're being asked to provide this over something that is unsecure. so we're giving up a lot of private information that belongs to our citizens and that's something that we need to defend. >> thank you for being with us. by the way, i make fun of you for wearing a tie last time. just so you know, i don't know if you can see me on tv, i'm wearing a tie. >> that's great. happy fourth of july. i decided to wear a hawaiian shirt to show my state pride. there you go. >> love it. good to see you, as always. we will talk again soon. >> thank you. >> attorney general from hawaii. turning to health care. unfinished business hanging off the heads of members of congress as they wake up in their home distri district with the front page still lingering about health

care reform stuck in the senate. one rally happened in southern california and that's where we find steve paterson. steve, a lot of folks out there with you this afternoon. what was their message? >> reporter: yeah, this rally wrapped up about a half hour ago. highly emotion. i was telling katy tur, they are worried about losing basic care for their families, for them sem selves. we spoke to doctors, nurses, patients. we set the scene for what this is all about. i want to play that for you right now. >> it is about health care being a human right, as opposed to an option. about giving patients the fighting chance for their life to also pursue having patient be able to have primary health care services and not using the emergency room as their primary

source of health care. >> reporter: another good example of this is joanna joshua wp her beautiful daughter, jasmine. one of the jungest patient here. talk about your story and why you came here. >> definitely. so jasmine has hypo plastic left heart. she has heart of a heart. and a lot of her organs are flip end in opposite sides of where they should be in her body. when ways four months pregnant, i found out that jasmine had this condition. and she's had two open heart surgeries with one to go. and she will need an event you' eventual heart transplant. >> what is your fear? >> my fear is she will lose a lot of protection under essential health benefits. my fear is that the preexisting conditions will alter her health care as well as lifetime caps. she has over $3 million in medical bills thus far.

>>. >> reporter: what is your message? >> my message to the senators who are changing the future is, please, you know, take away healaway -- please don't take away health care from jasmine. >> reporter: nothing is getting jasmine down. >> no. she is very strong and she is fighting. i'm right beside her fighting. we will fight this so she has proper health care coverage needed. not just to stay alive for today but for many years to come. >> reporter: that's the message we've heard all day from this rally. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> steve, that kid's got spunk. >> reporter: she's got real spunk, right? nothing is getting jasmine down. nothing. but that is the message we've heard all day from people who are worried about their families. doctors who are worried about their patients and people just basically worried about this

basic fundamental right that they consider is something extremely important to them. >> if you are worried about anything, health care is the number one thing. people should be out there talking about it. thanks very much for that. steve paterson for us inne torrance, california. richard engel is reporting from the streets. what happens next in the fight against terror? yeah. ♪ everybody two seconds! ♪ "dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance..." through the tuition assistance program, every day mcdonald's helps more people go to college. it's part of our commitment to being america's best first job. ♪

at this hour, iraqi forces are closing in on the pockets of resistance in mosul. militants desperately struck back. dispatching female suicide bombers. at least 15 people killed in two separate attacks. this comes just days after u.s. backed forces retook the site of the grand al-nuri mosque. aep al-baghdadi, in the only

video we have of him, claimed it years ago. chief correspondent is in mosul with more. richard? >> we are in the center of the old city of mosu li, this is the front line in the war against isis. can you see there is smoke rising from almost everywhere in the sky lines. most of that is where there have been air strikes called in by u.s. forces. americans are backing up this operation but it is iraqi troops like this man right here doing front line fighting, clearing house to house and we have seen it's been very difficult fighting. when you go in houses are booby trapped. there is room to room fighting. we are with soldiers not with us right now because they were injured in the fighting that had to be evacuated and literally carried out across the rubble. it is a tough fight but iraqis say with the american support they are winning it. there is only a little bit to go in the city. a little bit more to clear for all of mosu li is free from isis control. there are still people here. still some civilians.

a lot have left but civilians living in this area. many of them were trapped because they were so close to isis fighters they were hostages. now as iraqis are advancing, it is opening the way for civilians to leave the area and iraqis here, american commanders we have been speaking to, think this operation could be finished in just a matter of days. >> that's richard engel reporting this afternoon. victory may be near in mosul. but the fight from isis is far from over in that city. a foreign correspondent for the "new york times" she studies this very closely. with me now and while it's almost over, it is always that last mile or that last few days that is very, very difficult. and it is barbaric and horrible with ice sis doing in mosul. they aren't running. they are fighting until the end. >> they are fighting until the end. and isis is welding people shut inside their homes. most of these houses and old

mosu li have gate on the front and ice sis welding them shot so civilians cannot leave and as richard says, they become hostages making it very difficult for the coalition to go in without killing innocents. >> the u.s.-backed iraqi forces and others are just better trained than a few years ago when they lost most of iraq to isis. they will be defeated in mosul and other places. but ultimately, i want to read you this excerpt from the atlantic. it says the truth is isis has been planning for defeat for months if not years. losing the city has long been part of the plan and even though the loss of the self declared iraqi capital is a blow to the group's territorial preventions just because it is fallen. >> they lost the territory they

held this years and years ago and came back stronger. they go all the way back to the profit mohamed and say the profit died but their accolades were of course taking this perverted a view of religion have come back ever stronger than is the vision that they prop you wi propagate. >> westerners, the attacks that we hear of as perpetrated by people who have allegiance to isis in many cases have no relationship other than someone expressing their frailty. >> a lot of cases we have seen now have at least a digital connection. there is at least that. but you are right. the majority of the attacks in the west are being carried out by people who have not the call territory. >> and territorial ambitions don't matter much. >> exactly. where it does matter is where the territory makes money.

the main source of funding is not oil. the main source is taxation -- >> extortion. >> extortion, extortion of the people under their control. as people dwindle they have less -- >> they would tax every business. everybody who paid tax to somebody would pay isis. a farmer gives a percentage of their crops or money they made to it. this is why not having territory hurts them. >> yes. it's their main way of generating revenue. >> but al qaeda didn't have that form of revenue for a long time. while we didn't hear much about it, it continues to exist. the idea that it goes away doesn't mean the terrorism goes away. >> al qaeda had key moment in their past. they controlled the area the size of afghanistan for around year. in yemen a very important port which brought a lot of taxation. but al qaeda was forced to use other forms of revenue, namely ransoms from hostages, which they sold back to their governments.

isis knows thousand do that very well. they are experts on kidnapping, as we know. pe know how to make money once they lose a territory as well. >> thanks for being here. we were going to talk to you last week but we had breaking news. a foreign correspondent with the new york times. you must read her stuff to stay up to speed on what's going on in the world of these things that matter so much. okay from bridgegate to beachgate, chris christie wuonc again, unapologetic, this time after caught lounging on a beach that was closed by his own government's shut down. okay. a closed beach. to taxpayers. details after this. ♪

the president's allies and staff about the latest controversial tweet. this is the latest one. fake body slamming someone at a wwe wrestling match with the cnn logo super imposed on the man's face. okay. a fake donald trump beating up a fake cnn to make some point about fake news. tom boss ert applauded the president and said no one could perceive man who looks like the president beating up cnn as a threat. >> there's a lot of cable news shows that reach directly into hundreds of thousands of viewers

and not always fair to the president. so on the soerl media platform where he can talk directly to the american people, he is the most genuine president and most nonpolitician president that we have seen in my lifetime. >> interesting. >> ron allen is in new jersey where the president is spending his holiday this weekend. ron, the president is taking a holiday of sorts. >> i think that was real donald trump free president several years ago that wrestling event and the rest of it is staged. that wasn't faked but it was all fake. and the president did respond to the criticism that he has been hearing about that, people have called it unseemly but juvenile, you name it. there was a tweet from the white house, the president saying, at

some point the fake news will be forced to discuss our great jobs numbers, strong economy, success with isis and the boarder. that was push back by him. then it went into dave rent direction. we saw a lot of tweets about phone calls to foreign leaders and message from the white house is that president's prepared g20 summit coming up. tweets about phone calls to leaders of italy, france, saudi arabia. messages about calls last night with leaders of china, japan, all nation participate in the summit friday and saturday. and late this afternoon another series of tweets and messages from the white house. the president tweeting about a very interesting case, very difficult case in the uk of a little bit who is some ten months old suffering from a congenital brain injury and it literally has it them at death's and going around the united states and president trump

stepped in and saying that united states is delighted to take this way and help him. so the president intervening into that. unclear why at this moment whether he heard something, saw something, i don't think the president really addressed that case until this afternoon. they are meeting with the leader of the uk, theresa may, prime minister there, british government, courts sided against the family bringing this boy to the united states. finally of course, there was one other message from the white house, the president congratulating a 101-year-old world war ii veteran who flew in missions against the japanese after pearl harbor, attacking tokyo. his name is lieutenant dick cole. some people talking about attacks to the media. some talking about the summit. some trying to humanize the president with messages and tweets about other issues. >> yeah. long day. >> a lot to keep track of on otherwise what we would consider a holiday. that is, just to be clear, that

is the real donald trump in that video. he was actually inducted into the worldwide -- whatever it is, wwe hall of fame back then. > strange times. strange things for you and me to be discussing on tv. for every cabinet member who rushed to defend the president's twitter, and there were many, many condemn them and many were republicans. >> it's ridiculous, right? everybody is flabbergasted. but we have seen this for quite a while and you know, it is unfortunate. >> tweets like this are inconsistent with the greatness of the country and the office. >> there is no need for such uncivil language. >> i want to bring in new york times national reporter msnbc amy. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> let's talk about a rally that

donald trump held on saturday. at an evangelical event honoring veterans in washington. let's listen to what he had to say about the fake media. >> the fake media is trying to silence us. but we will not let them. because the people know the truth. the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house, but i'm president, and they're not. >> i want to remind people, that was meant to be an event honoring veterans but as often is the case, it gets off track and becomes something else. depending on what poll numbers you listen to, 32% still support donald trump. the bleeding seems to have stopped. it seems he has decided to stop talking to all-americans but he is loyal to his base and the

base is loyal to him. >> the base is getting what they wanted. they wanted as i've talked to different supports of his they said they wanted someone that was a wild card. they wanted someone different that would shake up washington. they voted for someone who never held any sort of government official title. so they knew they were getting someone who had this personality and you know, we think about all of the things that happened before he was president between mocking a colleague of mine at the "new york times." between access hollywood tape. very clear who donald trump was going to be when he became president app enis a 70-something man so while there is talk of him changing, he is really not going to change. that's pretty clear both in what he said and how he acted as president. >> a colleague of yours who add disability at the "new york times." not just mocking a journalist. he does that for sport these days. i want it compare july 2nd. yesterday when the wrestling tweet came out. on july 2nd, 2016, exactly a year earlier, president barack

obama tweeted elie wiesel was a great moral voice of our time and a conscience for of of cower world. he was also a dear friend. we will miss him deeply. so trump tweets, fraud news and the dishonest media will never keep us from accomplishing our objectives on behalf of our great american people. so who is to say he isn't as right as barack obama talking about elie a year ago. >> it is up to those who supported president obama versus president trump. and for the lawmakers now trying to work with president trum top pass a health care bill and later on attareform bill and infrastructure bill.

a lot of people think the tone of the office is more in line with what president obama was tweeting in that it is about really having reverence for people, about it being serious in our commentaries. about talking about issues, talking about things that matter. not mocking the media and arguing with people. >> there are a lot of americans right or wrong who feel that the conversation going on in news, amongst elites and that is out of touch with their life. and if the rest of us never get that, will we be able to figure this out? in other words has donald trump really just tap need a vein that we're not getting? >> i think that he tapped in a vein when he talked about making america great again. talking about the idea that people were in pain and left behind by the recession that people are absolutely not living better lives than they did in 2008 will. a large portion of our country still financially strained. so i think he tapped into that vein. in talking about comparing the tweet of someone of the former

president talking about hero essentially that died and we are talking about someone else, the next tweet this year talking about arguing with the media, when i talk to donald trump supporters on the campaign trail, they weren't saying it to me as a reporter knowing i work for the new york times, you're the problem, you're the enemy, you're the person who was hurting my life. they are telling me that donald trump was speaking to their problems. and he was giving a solution to those problems and in that way he is not tweeting about that. the policies that he has passed so far are far and few between if any and the things he is trying to get passed which is health care, he is not talking about on twitter. the tweet was about that he was a person who would revoke and repeal obamacare. pen that is what his voters voted for. but the tweet about arguing with the media, that isn't at all delivering on any promises. >> good to talk to you. thank you for being with us today. >> thanks. >> new york times national correspondent and msnbc contributor. chris christie is defending

himself today after fire storm of controversy spark bid weekend photos. the photos show chris christie lounging on beach chair with his family on island beach state park. nothing wrong with that, right? except the park was closed because after budget standoff. when reporters ask had if the government nor g governor got sun earlier that day, the answers were vague. there is no controversy here. >> i'm at my residence. i'll tell you this, last monday, a week ago today, no matter what happens, we were coming here as a family this weekend. this is where we live. >> he posted a series of tweets encouraging beach goers to visit the stretches of jersey that are still open. his spokesman said the controversy is a matter of optics. >> you are using photographs about a man on the beach with his family. that's a scandal, apparently. and by the way, that beach is closed 365 days out of year.

that particular segment of beach is part of the governmeor's re residence. he was on the beach for 45 minutes, then came back to work in trenton. >> the poll sits at 15%, that's the worse in two decades of polling. we're back with an in-depth look with perhaps the biggestish university year. health care. i love talking about health care. here is one democratic member of congress on msnbc earlier today with advice on the leader of the free world on how he can tackle that very topic. >> i think he should be focused on how do we improve our health care system in a bipartisan manner now that senate has taken a pause on the bill which is very ill advised. it would strip 22 million americans from health care. the president should put it on ice. come to the table with democrats and figure out how to improve the system going forward. to te.

i don't think we're getting anywhere with the bill we have. we're at an impasse. with more spending for big government republicans it offends conservatives. right now this bill, not a repeal, has become the kitchen sink. >> republicans are divided on a path forward for senators left for the fourth of july recess. they didn't get a deal on this one. let's bring in dr. nicole sapphire. she is a radiologist here in new york city. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> we just put poll numbers up. there is a poll done on how americans feel about the senate bill. the fox news poll is the most reboast in terms of people supporting it, showing 277% supported, it is a bit of an outliar for those going from 12 to 17%. house bill in the 17% range. do you think there's a misconception about this? do you think those numbers justify what this bill is?

>> i think those numbers accurately reflect how people feel about this bill. whether they are justified or not, i'm not clear. >> what do you think people are misunderstanding about this bill? >> it is an imperfect bill to say the least. i think the debate on how to fund health care is philosophical and you're if not going to convince one either way. or convince those in congress for a single payer system an not convince the democrats to have massive medicaid cuts. so as rand paul said, we're at an impasse. what we do with that, i think a single party plan isn't going to stick regardless of what we do. even if republicans sneak this senate revised bill through, when the democrats, if and when they gain majority again we will just see this all off again. >> so in other words, i think this is the frustration, and none of them are perfect. there's a language issue that people are having on tv about cuts versus more versus less. talking about this graphic up, here is what you see.

that line is where medicaid spending would have been under obamacare. i think $616 billion. that red-shaded area is where the republicans wanted to be. they say it is not a cut. it is up from where we are today. a cut based on where medicaid spending would have been in 2026. so this is one of those things you can call a cut or increase. and you can prove your case either way. >> it is largely based on semantics. what we do with health care, health care has a higher inflation rate than general consumer index. >> by a lot. >> yes. couple percentage points. but we're not going by health care increase. we are going with the consumer index. >> that's tough, right? >> not cutting medicaid funds, we will increase less than we would now. >> the problem is, people in economics, we do this all the time, exclude food and energy because it is too volatile. people spend on food, energy and health care. so that's their reality.

>> fundamental problem for medicaid is the open reimbur reimbursement for the medicaid system. i'm not calling it a medicaid cut because i've within yelled at for that, but in changing the structure, we will strong arm the medicaid system into having some sort of reform. and down the road we will be seeing essentially decreased fupds going towards medicaid that won't be able to be offset somewhere else. >> so you're a doctor. one of the basics about this is you know you made the initial argument, you will never convince republicans of this and democrats of this. but everybody can buy into the argument we spend more on health care per person in the united states than any other developed country and we don't always get better outcomes, right? in cancer, we do. one of the areas where america has better outcomes than other countries. >> where you're from, canada, a public program, they also don't have awesome outcomes. i like to use awesomes because

the bar is low there. canada and the united states are close there. but you have many other nations -- >> people live longer -- >> they do. they have a lot more focus on preventative medicine and access to primary care doctors. in other nations, sweden, switzerland, japan, france, a lot of nations use more pragmatic approach. they have a robust public program which is also coupled with a very strong free market private enterprise system. and that, in my opinion, would be the best bipartisan solution. >> all of those other countries you mentioned have universal health care. not sing /* single payer. canada and england have single payer. universal costs less. >> it does. however have you decrease choice and significant wait times. wait we have talked about it in the past here implementing it. having robust public option meaning expanded v.a. system

coupled with medicaid population with also a private system where the people buying on the individual exchange they can have the option to purchase on public option. i think by introducing a public health care option would help. >> that was on the table when obamacare was in there. if people in this country would get out of their political tent and think about the outcomes, things would be better. dr. nicole sapphire, radiologist a and board certified physician here in new york. tomorrow is the deadline for qatar. they either meet the deadline or face very serious consequencees. that's next. f spinning and one unfortunate ride on the gravitron, your grandkids spot a 6 foot banana that you need to win. in that moment, you'll be happy you partnered with a humana care manager and got your health back on track. because that banana isn't coming home with you until that bell sings.

facing accusations of supporting terrorism, the country of qatar must meet the demands or face further sanctions. and the united ash about emirates and bahrain before the tuesday deadline. they cut diplomatic ties a month ago causing tension in the region within -- and u.s. and russia are weighing in. we have a professor from the american university of beirut. he joins me from beirut. the arab demands are making demands of qatar including they shut down a turkish military base in the nation. and that they close al jazeera

which is the only state run media in the region that allows any voice of opposition and dissew dense and israelis. what do you make of this? >> they're outrageous demands and virtually nobody in the world has fully accepted then. so the egyptians, the bahrainians are isolated in putting these very hard demands which essentially negate the sovereignty of qatar and they're willing to discuss the legitimate grievances if there are relations with islamist groups like hamas and others, relations with iran. there's a lot of issues that are legitimate issues that what qatar is willing to discuss but the way that has been done and

the crude, almost infantile way that they have put the 13 demands and said you either comply or you'll have a hell of a time is really not sophisticated. it's not working and qatar is resisting. >> the saudis often do big things without a wink from the united states and as soon as they did it, trump got on the bandwagon and isolated qatar as well. so at this point, the united states is trying to back up and try to play a role as a mediator. rex tillerson has sounded a much more conciliatory tone than president trump has. what's the u.s.'s role in this? >> well, i think the u.s. doesn't know what its role is. this is the problem. like in most things in the middle east the united states is slightly bewildered and doing contradictory things, whether it's in palestine or in syria or in iraq or now in qatar. the u.s. clearly supports some of the saudi demands. but also has clearly said that

there needs to be a negotiated resolution of this and the demands need to be reasonable. so the fact that trump got on the phone yesterday and spoke to the qatari and the saudi leaders directly is a very significant step forward, that the united states is now directly engaged in for pushing the mediation if not being involved in the mediation that the kuwaitis have been spearheading. if this continues like this it's going to create huge problems for everybody in the gulf and huge problems for the united states which has a big strategic military base in qatar and they need a unified arab position to confront iran for those who want to confront iran. therefore, this creates massive problems for everybody. the qataris are handling this reasonably well. they're not having any significant problems that could be seen as really strategic or existential. they have been -- >> small problems with food

access and things that used to come in on the road the saudi, but they're managing. i'm out of time but thank you for joining us for the analysis and we'll catch up with you later. from the american university of beirut. stick around. we'll be right back. thank you so much. thank you! so we're a go? yes! we got a yes! what does that mean for purchasing? purchase. let's do this. got it. book the flights! hai! si! si! ya! ya! ya! what does that mean for us? we can get stuff. what's it mean for shipping? ship the goods. you're a go! you got the green light. that means go! oh, yeah.

and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common, or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. joint pain and damage... can go side by side. ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. enbrel, fda approved for 18 years.

so top of the hour once again, good afternoon. congress may be home for the fourth of july, but the battles over republicans plan to overhaul obamacare are raging

on. axios is putting two new versions of the health care proposals to the congressional budget office over the holiday week. hoping to lower the total number of uninsured over the next decade. senate leader mitch mcconnell walking a tight rope of trying to appease the more conservative members of his conference. like ted cruz, while holding on to the moderates. meanwhile, the trump white house exerting some pressure of its own. president trump latching on to proposal from nebraska senator ben sasse, if you can't find a solution, repeal it straight up, but don't let it take effect for a year and then get a real deal done. >> we should do repeal with a delay. let's be clear, i don't want to see anybody thrown off the coverage they have now. i would want a delay so that we could get straight to work and then i think the president should call on the senate to cancel our august work period. i'm not talking about repeal only. republicans need to stop pretending that everything
