really under the bull's-eye that ginger has been talking about with another strong system set to roll through. robin. >> thank you, adrienne. thinking of everyone down that way. now to that big headline out of washington about russia and the election. there are new calls for the republican congressman who's leading the investigation, devin nunes to step aside after he confirmed heeld a secret meeting on white house grounds. abc's senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on that. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning to you. those calls for him to step down are growing louder. democrats say he has tarnished congress' investigation into russia's election meddling but the president, he's tweeting saying the trump/russia story is a hoax. overnights top republican leading what is supposed to be an independent investigation into russia's election meddling going into self-defense mode. >> there was no sneaking around krt rangelman devin nunes facing questions about impartial at and the house intelligence committee chairman says h

7:07 am
the administration about an investigation of which they are the subject. >> reporter: the top democrat on the house intelligence committee adding to the chorus. >> i think it would be in the chairman's interest as well as the committee's for him to recuse himself. >> reporter: nunes says he had to leave congress to view these documents here on the white house grounds because they could only be shownen a secure network connected to the executive branch and still has not made the content of those documents known, robin, even to others in congress involved in that investigation into russia. >> they want to know. also, cecilia, we know that the president is set to sign another executive order today. >> reporter: yeah, this is a really controversial one that would roll back basically a number of president obama's climate change regulations. the white house says that those rules have been a burden to the economy. they are promising to bring back coal jobs but a number of experts are questioning whether the president can fulfill that promise and bring back all of these jobs. >> all right, cecilia, thank
7:08 am
>> going to make a lot of headlines today. let's turn to our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl with more. the president was up overnight with a tweet storm and clearly not over the stinging defeat of his promise to repeal and replace obamacare. still pointing fingers this morning? >> reporter: absolutely, david. about 10:00 as night the tweets started. on health care, the first one taking aim -- republicans who defied him on the health care bill. the republican house freedom caucus was able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. after so many bad years they were ready for a win and then hinting that he is ready to work with democrats in the next tweet, the democrats will make a deal with me on health care as soon as obamacare folds. not long. don't worry, we are in very good shape. so, david, the not so subtle threat here to the republicans who defied him is that he is ready to go right by them and start working with at least some didn'ts. >> but, jon, as you know, interesting he brings up the democrats because you pressed the white
7:09 am
that can really happen. will president trump and democrats be able to work together on taxes, infrastructure or do democrats sense and opening given the defeat over obamacare? >> reporter: well, i pressed sean spicer on that yesterday in a very interesting response, david. he basically told me that there would be a need of a course correction here at the white house, a very rare admission from the white house that they would have to change course if they were to actually be able to work with democrat of course, the president has gotten to calling chuck schumer a clown and worked almost entirely with republicans so far so this would be a big change. one idea floated this morning by the online publication axios reporting that the white house may consider doing infrastructure next, a big spending bill that would be likely to bring along some democrats and make a lot of republicans very uncomfortable. >> all right, jon karl, we'll watch all day at the white house, jon, thanks so much. robin. >> david, wall street also reac

washington. the failure of the republican health care bill. the stocks now riding an eight-day losing streak. our chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with more on that. good morning, rebecca. >> hey, robin, good morning. this is the longest losing streak since 2011. you see that eight-day losing streak has cost the dow 1.9%. we want to put this into context. since election day the dow surged 12% on expectations president trump's agenda, deregulation, lower taxes and infrastructure spending will help business. but pulling repeal and replace of obamacare was a first major test and it failed. which has some investors now on edge now wondering can the president actually deliver on his promises and, robin, about the prospects for tax reform. >> are we seeing something with the overnight markets that is encouraging about today? >> reporter: it is encouraging. stocks look like they'll take a breather as wall street really tries to get a sense of what happens next, robin. >> rebecca, thank you. now we'll turn to the

...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing

7:46 am
he looks like he's complying and there's not a problem. i don't like it. i've been through it. it's not fun. this mother certainly not happy with what happened in dallas. >> before i ask a second question how long was this because online they were saying one thing that i even read somewhere they said like an hour. you're saying it was a minute -- a couple minutes. >> it's a couple minutes of the pat-down but then they were at the checkpoint for some time because the mother was very upset and tsa and police were talking to her, so, you know, there are three sighs to every story, yours, mine and the truth and this one -- what parent wants to see their child patted down like this wearing a t-shirt and shorts, once again, think, the officer knows he's on surveillance. they've recently changed the rues at tsa. there used to be five different pat-downs and a couple of weeks ago they changed it to one so the officer has only one pat-down he can do and it's that full pat-down you just saw.
7:47 am
the cameras so has to do the pat-down. >> what determines if a person needs an additional pat-down. if you have to go through it, any way avoiding it. >> don't fly. don't go through tsa. if you set off the alarm going through the metal director that's one and there are random checks every 14th, 15th, sixth person will have to go through. to make sure the machines are working right and don't miss something going through. the one way to avoid it is go to the scanner. that's the big machine that scans your body. for those of us who have a staple or something in their piece of metal in their body always a good idea to take the scanner and then if they find something you get a small pat-down but not the full-on pat-down like this child did with the mother who was very, very unhappy. >> she was not happy at all. all right. thank you, david. very much. happy to have you and happy to have you. i love you on "around the horn." >>

beliefs about diet and exercise. so, we're going to try to learn a lot more about how nye body works and what those lessons can teach everybody about how their bodies work. first up, a showdown between good old-fashioned cardio and high intensity interval training or one of the most popular new workout trends. to find out i did a 20-minute run at a moderate pace of six miles per hour. four hours later i did a 30-minute h.i.t. workout. brief periods of intense exercise followed by periods of rest. h.i.t. is commonly believed to burn more calories in less time but the chamber says for me that's wrong. the slow ruin burning 10.7 calories a minute compared to just seven for h.i.t., the run almost 53% more effective. >> i consider it very, very important for a lot of different processes in the body. however, when you do high intensity interval training, you also resting, right, for a long time. >> next up,
8:24 am
burn. how many calories your body continues burning at an elevated level after you've stooped exercising. though sometimes it goes on for hours that wasn't the case with either of my workouts. i burned just 34 calories after the run and 44 after the hiit workout. my body returning to normal levels within minutes. >> i want to manage the burn after the exercise is not that significant. >> last, how much time and energy does it stake my body to burn what i eat. to measure this, i spent six hours in a different much smaller chamber. >> hello. >> and ate a high carb high sugar 750-calorie breakfast of a blueberry muffin and sweetened coffee drink. my body burned through it quickly in just four hours using about 80 calories, compared to a high protein meal which would have taken an estimated six hours to burn using almost 200 calories more than double the
8:25 am
high carb breakfast. and another interesting piece of information that i learned. i burned 600 calories over the course of that day just in day-to-day tasks, just goes to show you how important small activities can be. >> i saw you on instagram. >> right. that didn't burn quite as much as i hoped it would. >> what surprised you the most? >> i was really shocked by the high intensity interval training. i was the one who reads a lot about it and into health and wellness. i thought it would burn more because i felt like i was working so much harder. that's all about perception. just because i felt like i was working hard clearly i was not. >> that's what blew our mind. you lost so much more on the tre treading. a lot do that high interval training with something lower. it works for some. >> that's what the magic of the chamber is. it test you what it true for you so these are my results the so somebody else could so a completely different result but what it did do was taught me that the one was much more effective for me but i hate running. so you're better off -- you're better off doing what you
