>> reporter: hi, george. good morning to you. before he was elected president, trump say nos one knows the system better than him, and that he alone can fix it. he's learning it's not that easy. this morning, one of his signature campaign promises is on the verge of collapse. president trump today hoping for one last shot. a senior white house official tells abc news, it was president trump's idea to invite republican senators for lunch. a white house field trip where the art of the deal president hopes he'll get a chance to make a face-to-face appeal and convince his party to repeal and replace obamacare. >> i don't think it's dead, no. but i'm certainly disappointed. >> reporter: on capitol hill, the signature campaign promise all but dead. >> seven years i have been hearing repeal and replace from congress. when we finally get a chance to repeal and replace, they don't take advantage of it. so that's disappointing. >> reporter: disappointed, but so far, not blaming republicans who were divided from the start. >> it would be nice to have democrat supp

obstructionists. they have no ideas. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell in defeat. >> it's pretty clear there are not 50 republicans to vote at the moment for a replacement for obamacare. >> reporter: but the senate majority leader is not backing down yet. he's now planning to hold a vote early next week to simply repeal, rather than replace, obamacare. that move has democrats pouncing. >> to go forward with repeal again without replacing is not only insanity, it is a disservice to the american people. >> reporter: even some republicans are already protesting. >> we should not repeal without a replacement. and -- just an indefinite hold on this? just creates more chaos and confusion. >> reporter: now president trump also said there will be a lot easier to let obamacare fail. if that happens, the blame would fall squarely on democrats. again, he's hoping for one last shot to change

as he invited every gop senator here to the white house. >> this is coming as the president is facing new questions now about the second meeting he has with vladimir putin at the g-20 summit. one report it lasted up to an hour. the white house had not disclosed it previously. >> reporter: we just learned about it yesterday. the white house is trying to downplay it. i'm told it is a social setting. at one point during the dinner, the the president decided to walk over to the first lady to talk to her. she was seated next to vladimir putin. the president did this with other leaders, not just putin. he communicated using russia answer translator. the president is tweeting, calling this story sick, saying even a dinner arranged for top 20 leaders in germany is made to look sinister. but here's the deal. we may never know what really happened inside the dinner. it was the president. there were no other aides inside the dinner.

paul, one of the key votes against the senate health care plan. senator paul, thank you for joining us this morning. >> sure. >> you're calling the defeat of the plan a victory for conservatives. this has been a seven-year promise to repeal and replace obamacare. you have control of the sfat. control of the the house. you have the white house right now. obamacare is in place. how is this a victory sfr conservatives? >> what i'm calling a victory is not the defeat of the plan. what i'm calling the victory is that we will get to vote on a clean repeal. i have been advocating a repeal. all of it. we're going to get a vote on a partial repeal. i wasn't in favor of an insurance company bailout. the previous bill had about $180 billion to give to insurance companies. insurance companies have gotten rich on obamacare. they cruised to profit $6 billion a year. they're up to $15 billion. we should not be giving taxpayer money to insurance companies. i'm in favor of and will vote to go to the clean repeal that is

are not the votes now for the clean repeal. back in january, you warned against repealing without a replacement. you said it would risk the blame for the continuing unraveling of obamacare. >> i still favor a replacement. at the same time. but what we discovered is republicans don't agree on replacement. my idea of replacement is letting people join co-ops and let people get the discounts and lemplg by joining a big group. one thing it will recommend to the president if i see him today is i believe he can unilaterally legalize these buying groups through the department of labor. a special law was passed in the '70s, the erisa law, we think he has the discretion to legalize this. i think there's one enormous thing president trump can do on his own, and that is to let anybody in the country get out of the individual market where the death spiral is and get into an association. >> i know you want to see the president today.

"the new york times" is reporting he's annoyed with you. he was upset with your grand standing to defeat the senate bill. >> i think the president and i have a good relationship. i have been one of his strongest defenders. i'll continue to defend him against map stream media attacks. but on issues of substance like health care, he knows where i'm coming from. i've been here since i ran for office. i was at the first tea parties saying obamacare was a mistake, we should repeal it. i always wanted to replace it. still do. want to replace it with freedom, competition, legalize inexpensive insurance. i don't want another big government program. i'm fearful politically and from the point of view of policy that if we keep parts of obamacare in place that the republican plan will fail. i'm wanting republicans to be saved from themselves. if they take over health care and pass something that resembles obamacare and doesn't work, then we'll own a terrible and tragic health care system.

to own this thing. obama a kair is a disaster. >> our viewers, as you might imagine, are intensely interested in this. getting a lot of questions on facebook. here's the one coming in more than any other. why can't we all have the health care program that they, the senators and congressmen, have. we're getting that question again and again and again. >> yeah, i think it comes from a misconception that some of the media have promoted. we're stuck with obamacare. we hate it. we used to be on the federal employee plan. we are on obamacare. it's a misconception that we're not. we have obamacare. it's terrible. my wife and i spend hours on the phone trying to get the insurance companies to pay for anything. we're just like every american, very, very frustrated with the insurance system. >> senator paul, thank you. >> thank you. >> robin? you to

shooting in minnesota. a bride-to-be killed after she called 911 for help. now, one of the officers on the scene is revealing new details about what happened. linsey davis is in minneapolis with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. we know that justine damond made that 911 call on saturday night. we know police responded to that call. today, we're expecting to get a transcription of that call once her family gets to see it first. late tuesday, investigators revealed new details from an interview with the officer driving the vehicle that justine damond was standing by side when she was killed. two officers responded to her 911 call saturday night. we're mow learning the the officer who fired the shot, mohammed noor has declined to be interviewed. >> it's frustrating to have some of the picture but not all of it. we cannot compel officer noor to ma

but i wish he would make that statement. >> reporter: but matthew harrity who was driving the the car answered questions. saying they drove south in the alley in search of a suspect. they were startled by a loud noise. damond approached the window. noor fired through the window. harrity was stunned when his partner opened fire. it is still unclear just why the officers' body cameras were not rolling. and while the police chief has been in contact with her team over the last fewdies, she has been out of state on a personal strip she now plans to cut short. overnight, the australian prime minister joined the chorus of people demanding answers. >> how can a woman out in the street in her

assistance from the police be shot like that? sit a shocking killing. >> reporter: what's unique about this case is is the district attorney says he does not plan to give the case to a grand jury to decide whether or not to prosecute the officer. he says it's a determination he'll make himself. robin? >> thank you. we're going to bring in dan abrams. you have been following this very closely. we heard what the mayor said about the the police officer who shot justine. but lay, he can't be compelled to make a statement? >> he's got a fifth amendment right just like anybody else. to invoke that right the say, i'm not going to testify. he's clearly being looked at in this context of a criminal investigation. and it is his right not to testify. the problem with that, of course, is that it looks terrible, right? >> sure. >> in connection with an investigation into a police shooting, when the officer says i'm going the invoke my fifth amendment right against self-incrimination, i'm not going to talk

i'm not going to testify, they're going to lead to a lot of questions. >> there's still questions about why the body kams were not turned on. >> i think it's clear this ended up being a violation of their policy there. meaning they're supposed to turn on the the body cams. these are things you have to turn on and off, right? so they're supposed to turn them on either when there is criminal activity, or, before the use of force. now, expect that the officers would say, look, we were just patrolling. and if that other officer's testimony is accurate, which is he sudden willy hears a loud sound, they may say we didn't is have time to take that action to turn it on. they are supposed to turn them on as soon as it is safe to do so. >> even if you turn it on, doesn't it go back in time in recording? >> correct. 30 seconds. it goes back 30 seconds. it should have recorded the 30 seconds prior to the time that they turn it on as well. that would have been invaluable evidence in the context of this investigation. and you can

frustrated that they don't have that. >> all right. more to come. thank you, dan. we'll have you back in a bit. to amy with the morning's other top stories. a startling headline. >> a 10-year-old boy from miami appears to be among the nation's youngest victims of the nation's opioid epidemic. atton banks died from a mix of exposure to fentanyl and heroin. it may have been on a towel at the pool. more bad news for chipotle today. the chain shut down a restaurant in virginia. the stock dropped 4% on tuesday. a new york family is demanding an apology from jetblue claiming the airline kicked them off a plane for no reason. the

world knows about the murder case. knows that he was found responsible in the civil case. it shouldn't matter. the question is going to be, does it? >> will it matter, nancy? >> i'll tell you what will matter. several of the factors the the parole board are be considering including the severity of crime and aggravating circumstances. those aggravating circumstances don't have to be convictions. and let me remind everybody, am i the only one that remembers that '97 jury that said he did commit double murder. that was a civil jury. it was a unanimous verdict. this parole board can consider that as well. they can look at what that civil jury said. that jury said that he cut the throat of his ex-wife and stabbed ron goldman 30 times. i mean, it's like -- you guys don't want to recognize the elephant in the room. a jury said he is a double killer. >> i read through the 11

that they can consider. i didn't see civil lawsuits being one of them. did i miss that one? >> it said aggravating factors and other evidence. and not only that, when it refers to other crimes, it doesn't say convictions. >> so, when you read other crimes, you think kit be things he was accused of and acquitted of? >> listen, this is not a jury trial. this is a parole board. this is within their discretion. and again, he was sentenced to 9 to 34 years. he's done 9 years on a 33-year sentence? how can this parole board let him go if they have any con sen -- conscience at all? >> they have a lot of leeway. if you were able to compare him to being steve simpson not o.j.

>> someone else that a civil jury -- >> i don't think they can start considering what a civil jury did. >> yes, they can, under aggravating circumstances. >> but it's not an aggravating circumstance in connection -- >> it aggravates me. >> i'm sure it does. >> it aggravates me, too, in the sense that i'm convinced the verdict in the civil case was the right one. >> if this parole board let this is guy walk. >> you're not going agree today. >> when something feels wrong, when something feels wrong, it is wrong. and this is wrong. >> it's not the way the law work. >> that's the last word today. thank you both. i'll anchor lye coverage tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. eastern. before that hearing, we'll speak exclusively to fred and

when the instructor is saying go hard, that's for your third week or fourth week, when you're doing it three or four times a week. >> know your body. you know when you should shut it down. >> absolutely. if you're standing on the bike and having trouble keeping your balance, that's too hard. we get the latest now on will and kate's european tour. the royal couple in berlin with george and charlotte. >> the royal fab four saying good-bye to poland and hello the germany. giving us a chance to see their kids one again being kids. george, will, kate, and charlotte got back on the plane for the third day of the tour. apparently not fast nup inform for george, seen tugging at his dad, impatient to get aboard. charlotte crawling up the steps to get inside. the royal family touching down in berlin just hours ago.
