morning after that stunning health care defeat. the president blaming members of his own party for the failure. abc's senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on that for us. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning. you're right. the blame game is in full force. the president now pointing fingers at everyone from democrats to conservative republicans for that blow to health care. president trump now looking to lay blame after that crushing defeat on health care. blasting conservatives, tweeting, democrats are smiling in d.c. that the freedom caucus with the help of club for growth and heritage have saved planned parenthood and obamacare. but the chair of the freedom caucus unapologetic. >> well, i mean at this particular point i can tell you no one has been more self-critiquing than me. >> reporter: the president and fellow republicans saying they are now looking to turn the page to their next big challenge, tax reform. also signaling they may be ready to reach across the aisle. >> i think it's time for our

folks to come together and i also think it's time to potentially get a few moderate democrats on board. >> reporter: will democrats get on board. >> he moved so far to the hard right that is virtually impossible for us to work with him. if he changes, he could have a different presidency. >> reporter: the blame game comes after a weekend of clashes at pro-trump rallies across the country. protesters and trump supporters coming to blows as the president seemed to be in his own battle with republican house speaker paul ryan, with this head scratching tweet saying watch judge jeanine on fox news saturday night. those who tuned in saw judge jeanine piero open her show with an explosive hit on ryan. >> paul ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house. the reason, he failed to deliver the votes on his health care bill. >> reporter: but the white house claims the timing was just a coincidence and paul ryan has

the president's full support. >> he doesn't blame paul ryan. in fact, he thought paul ryan worked really hard. he enjoys his relationship with paul ryan. thinks paul ryan is a great speaker of the house. >> reporter: and one announcement expected today, the president expected to name his son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner to run a new office here at the white house. it is called the office of american innovation and, david, it is charged with fulfilling campaign promises like reforming care for veterans. >> a lot of eyes on jared kushner as well, cecilia, thanks to you. your teammate jonathan karl here. we've got political analyst matthew dowd with us here this morning. jon, first the big picture. you remember a week before election day then candidate donald trump saying reming and replacing obamacare one of the single most important issues why we must win and great health care at a tiny fraction of the cost. so easy. how big of a defeat is this? >> a devastating blow not only because he fails to keep a key campaign promise but puts in

question the rest of the trump agenda. can he get anything passed if he couldn't do this? can he even keep the government running which runs out of funding on april 28th. this gives trump a chance to become the transformational president that he wanted to be, because the only way out of this is to find a way to work with democrats. there is no longer a republican working governing majority. he could reach out to democrats on drug price, on infrastructure, even on closing special interest tax loopholes. >> you believe the defeat gives them that excuse. >> it gives him a chance to do it. democrats smell blood and trump has gone in the opposite direction so far. >> quick question on the millions who depend on obamacare. they heard it survived and bried a sigh of relief and hear president trump say we'll let it explode. >> so, obamacare is the law of the land. that means the people depending on the subsidies will continue. medicaid expansion continues but all the problems with obamacare won't get addressed either. >> let's bring in matt. as you know the big pivot, the

president will push for tax reform. won't this make it even harder now? >> absolutely, david. i mean the health care reform was a building block that he needed for all his other parts of his plan, tax reform, infrastructure, his budget was that was a key building block. that's been removed and falls down i think democrats will have a hard time not only because of their base but because they feel like they got a victory to go along with tax cuts that are primarily aimed at the rich. i think it's going to be really hard for donald trump to make that bridge on that particular piece of legislation. >> matt, just a few seconds left. you heard jon go out an a limb saying it could be a transformational president. how willing will the democrats be willing to help on any legislative victory. >> i think it's hard and their base is very much against donald trump and i think donald trump would fundamentally have to change as a person to be able to do that. i would think -- he nee i'm starting with the man in the mirror, needs to tick tay hook

at himself and make a change. that's what he needs to do. he needs to start the process by changing who he is. >> the first time anyone has put it that way. matt dowd, jon karl, here with us, thanks. russia, mass demonstrations breaking out across the country. the biggest in years there by protesters angry about corruption. more than a thousand were arrested including a leading critic of president putin. abc's alex marquardt has the latest and joins us this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. we haven't seen anything like this in russia in at least five years, far bigger protests than anyone expected. the official goal was to protest corruption but demonstrators there making it clear their ang anger is bigger than that. the largest gist play of defiance against vladimir putin in years. thousands marching in moscow and almost 100 other cities and towns across russia. they were billed as protests against corruption but the

elizabeth and her former teacher 50-year-old tad cummins were communicating just days before he allegedly kidnapped her. investigators uncovering deleted e-mail drafts between the teen and her teacher left through a computer at their school. >> they were save the message and let it save as a draft. the other person would log in, ride the message and then delete it. >> reporter: the messages investigators say showed a romantic relationship. >> i saw you standing next to your backpack this morning and makes a reference to a body part of hers and, you know, talking about how nice that looked. >> reporter: authorities also saying cummins researched covert ways to communicate through instagram and specific encrypted texting apps but elizabeth's sister telling abc news cummins didn't just send messages saying her sister complained he showed up to her workplace as recent as the saturday before the pair disappeared. >> she would go and tell people to they will them -- him that she wasn't there and she would

go and hide until he left and she thought it was really weird. >> reporter: despite a national alert police say there haven't been any credible sightings of the two since elizabeth was dropped off by a friend at a restaurant two weeks ago. >> it feels like she just vanished. and i know that's impossible like someone had to see her. >> reporter: her large family in constant contact with each other waiting holding on to each other and holding on to hope. >> we just live for that day when we're going to get a phone call that says i'm all right. i need somebody to come get me. >> reporter: authorities think the two are staying out of the public eye. they're asking people to keep an eye out of places like campgrounds, parking lots and in rural areas. >> eva pilgrim in tennessee, eva, thank you. i want to bring in former fbi special agent brad garrett. always great to have you with us. we heard what eva reported that so far two weeks and no credible

sightings. what does that tell you. >> it tells me two things if they are still alive and hopefully they are, he has found a place to secrete them basically off the grid, in other words, a remote cabening by a lake, maybe he has a campsite. i'm going to guess he prestaged that. maybe with food, other items, so that they could go there and hide because that's literally the only way they're going to survive at least in the short run. >> brad, we know that a lawyer for the 15-year-old's family now says that there was a time when she was at work and would tell co-workers to lie when he would show up, that she wasn't there but when in fact she was actually hiding so there have been problems along the way. >> and there clearly is in every one of these relationships where you have a 15-year-old and an older adult. i mean, the realization will set in with the 15-year-old like what am i doing? and then the adult becomes more dominating and domineering and i think that's probably what you see in that particular example.

>> i'll tell you there was one thing in eva's report that will make any parent's heart race when they hear of this draft e-mail way to communicate. start a draft e-mail that nobody sees and nobody sends and communicate that way. >> al qaeda has used it. paula broadwell used it. type in an e-mail, save it as a draft and someone that has access to the same account logs in, pulls up the draft, reads it, neither answers it, deletes it but it never goes out in the system so law enforcement or anyone else couldn't capture it. >> brad garrett with us, we always appreciate your insight. let's all hope that 15-year-old is okay. >> yes, indeedy. coming up in two minutes our safety alert about fire extingsh experiment when gio benitez is with us next.

base of the fire. but if you're not comfortable or you can't put it out in 30 seconds or less, just get out. >> sohero. >> do not try to be the hero. let the fire department handle it. they're equipped and trained to handle larger fires. >> reporter: going homeit >> reporter: they're equipping all our families with two brand-new fire extinguisher, one suited to tackle small fires in your home. >> you get a new extinguisher. >> how do you like that? >> reporter: and so you hear that noise there in the background. we'll give you a demo. this is important. you see this, you want to make sure your fire extinguisher has a gauge. you want to make sure it's in the green just like this. that it's ready to go. check that every month. but guess what, if it's tenwork. >> good advice there, so yes ca out of hand so quickly. when do you know to call fire department? >> well, robin, you always want to go ahead and away no matter the fire. get everyone safely out of the house. but, if you have a small fire

perhaps like a stovetop you want to remember that acronym, p.a.s.s., you want to go ahead and pull the pin, you want to aim at the base of the fire, you want to squeeze and you just want to sweep and when it is out, you want to go ahead and get out of that room right away, out of that house and get to 911. call them right away. >> yes, small fire. not the fire that we just saw you. something else we should look for on the fire extinguisher, is there some marking we should look for? >> reporter: yeah, you always want to look for this ul listed here. you see that, that means it is certified. it is ready to go so you want to look for that. >> all right, gio, thanks a lot. michael. >> all right, thank you, robin. coming up on our big board, the massive response to those missing teens in d.c. what the city's mayor is now doing to help find them. we'll talk about that when we come back in two minutes. the uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if?

board. linsey davis and dan abrams are both here at the table with us. we'll begin with the big response to those missing teens in washington. the city's mayor now announcing a tank force to address the issue after a social media campaign revealed the alarming number of girls who have gone missing. many of them black or latino so where does it stand. >> so, those hashtags are still trending big. find our girls, missing d.c. girls. the good news is since our report two of the girls have been located. >> great. >> the bad news that still means more than a dozen reports of missing people still out there in washington, d.c. but the mayor did initiative on friday that they're going to start assigning more police officers, they're in initiatives, they're going to be earmarking money, they're going to be creating a tank force in order to work with vulnerable teens and that should help. that should be a good thing. also has asked the attorney general and also the fbi to get

to the bottom of this. what is going on here? now, according to the d.c. police, they're saying all of these girls have run away. now, that certainly shouldn't dimini ysh have, for example, one of the girls who did turn herself in who had been classified as missing turned herself in over the weekend to a fire department. she said she had been having an issue with -- been treated poorly by a foster parent and been staying in a laundromat during the night and she said during the day when she would walk the streets men would solicit her and prey on her and couple that with the ticket that black girls make up 40% of human trafficking victims you see these girls can't simply be written off as just runaways. >> this has gained a lot of momentum online. some people say this information has been a little misleading as well. >> there has been a case of a little whisper down the lane. there are a lot of people who are under the impression that there's a serial killer on the loose, that 14 girls went missing in just 24-hour period

and it's not just of that magnitude. there still is a problem but it's not true. what we do know is true, there's this overwhelming sentiment in social media and beyond of people saying when black people go missing they don't get the same amount of coverage. le of us could come up with three or more names of white girls who went missing. >> wall-to-wall coverage. >> nonstop, right. but is the same true of black girls? i would struggle to come up with one black girl who has gone missing in recent years? >> one missing person, period, is one too many. one, i mean, too many but you are absolutely right. we've been hearing -- i reached out to you last week because people were talking about it on social media and, dan, it takes a hashtag? >> look, i've been covering these kind of cases for 20 something years and let's be honest about this. in almost every one of those cases, it's white girl. that's the bottom line. and i think the great thing about this hashtag whether there are more or there are not more

right now, whether this is just more attention to it, that's a good thing. which is we got to start talking about this because a lot of these cases are being solved by helping -- by going public. the public is helping. and if we aren't allowing, we meaning the media as a whole, aren't allowing the public to see these cases and to see these girls, then how can they help? so, let's talk about it. let's admit the fact that we are sort of promoting, showing, displaying more cases with white girls and now let's change that. and let's try and help solve this. >> linsey will stay on top of this and have follow-up reporting on runaways. police say it's a runaway, part of the problem. because they can fall -- >> because they don't have the amber alert. >> one missing kid is one too many. absolutely. we're going to turn our focus to the popular messaging service what isapp.

the terrorist in that london attack used it to send secret messages before the attack and the app has encryption abilities which could make -- which would have big implications. tell us what that means exactly. >> this isn't the first terrorism case where the allegation has been that the terrorists were using one of these encryption services right before the attack. let's be clear on what this means it means that user one gets what's effectively a public key from whatsapp to send a message that only user two can then open. and maybe just as importantly, what isapp would tell you even they can't see it. no one can now see once it's been encrypted. not just conversation, it's videos, it's groups, it's everything and what makes what is different, you don't have to request it, it's automatically encrypted and creating a very

difficult situation for law enforcement because there's -- whatsapp says -- >> what about a back door? >> let's create a back door. whatsapp says that -- anyone you make one anyone can use split they are horrified at the attack that happened, that's from whatsapp and cooperating with law enforcement. risk of stroke due to afib, en accept i havr a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but whatever trail i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve

some even pointed to the airline's post from last yuen showing a woman wearing leggings at the airport for international yoga day. celebs are weighing in too. chrissy teigen writes i have flown united before with literally no pants on, just a top as a dress. and patricia arquette had a back and forth with the carrier. at one point replying, leggings are business attire for 10-year-olds. their business is being children. in the end united says the family was still able to travel on the next flight using their passes and reassures its regular customers that leggings are welcome. and many women are now responding with the #stopshaminggirls. one man took a different approach. it's knoll going to be pretty but he plans to wear leggings on his next united flight. let's just hope they didn't start a new trend. >> oh, no. they're not going to start one with david and i. >> no leggings. >> we didn't tweet.

offices every six months and doing mris and doing mammograms, i really felt like it wasn't surveillance and it was more just waiting to get cancer. i felt like every single day i looked in the mirror and i was like i'm going to get cancer today and consumed me in a way i never felt before. my other option was i could have a preventative double mastectomy. >> even with a brca1 mew trace, the risk for his convinced and very confident in the decision that she ultimately made. >> i remember thinking i'm going to have to do this at some point. i'm strong and i'm healthy and i'm cancer-free right now. >> she's on her bed in recovery and i remember leaning over her bed and the enormity of what she had done really hit me, holding her hand and thinking, thank you

in north carolina, raleigh, north carolina, she incorporated into her lesson plan taking the brackets and making -- seventh grade and filled out the brackets for an experiment on experimental probability so made it a math challenge and they're very happy because north carolina made it to the final four but still did you all have a teacher like that especially in math to kind of apply it in a way that would challenge you? >> could have turned out so much differently. >> i think it turned out just fine? you're doing pretty well. >> i mean, i always loved teachers who take something in the real world, something you're interested in, something these kids hear about every day from their friends for the family, from us and they turn it into something to learn from. kind of like "hamilton" as a musical. >> that's true? now you have a whole -- >> this teacher did it because a teacher had done it for her. this is a gift that keeps giving and connect it to something in realtime in the world. >> the probability of south carolina making it to the men's

final four, 1.1%. >> oh, my god. >> 1.1%. and here they are. >> wow. >> so, it was a creative way and kudos to that teacher and others for finding ways -- >> i know we didn't get graded on our picks but how are y'all doing? i haven't gotten a chance to -- >> next up what, do we have. >> we'll move on about our picks. >> really, so we all failed that class just -- >> those brackets were in the garbage can a long time ago, a week or owe ago. >> not easy. >> coming up next, this is a very good challenge and it's something i know i've struggled with. battle of the presents. okay. >> hmm. >> who do you think it's more difficult to buy a gift for, a man or a woman? >> man. >> what? >> that's interesting. >> not even close. >> not even close. >> not even close. >> why is it so hard? >> for you guys? >> lady, let's discuss. let me count the ways. you guys are very tricky.

tie. >> we're very simple creatures. >> we're not saying you're not. >> that's the hard part. >> my dad would put the same things on his christmas list, tie, socks or his favorite cologne. >> simple. >> but you know, there was a professor at carnegie mellon who said he will get scientific about it and did a study with 200 people write down three gift ideas, three for women and three for men and took how much time it took for each one to write down for the men or women to determine who you had to think more for. >> very scientific. >> very scientific and you know what, but it kind of goes into this from "friends." remember this from "friends." this goes to show who is harder to buy a gift for. >> you was gold. this is silver. >> huh. well, maybe it changed. >> oh, my god. you actually exchanged it. >> isn't it better i exchanged it for something i enjoy and that i can get a lot of use out

of? >> what did you get? >> credit. >> everything comes back to a "friends" episode. >> you want the results? >> yes. >> okay, men found it relatively easy to think of gifts for other men. it took them about 40 seconds. women took them about 40 seconds to buy gives for other women. but they found it much harder to get gifts for women, it took 60 seconds. >> men for women. >> men for women. >> how about women for men? >> y'all are pushing my numbers here. they're not exactly -- >> come on. we did that math thing. >> but that teacher didn't teach me so i'm a little off. but that's the only thing i got here. women as they -- women to men took 40 second, men to men took 40 second, men and women picking for women took 60 seconds so women took longer all the way around. >> all right. >> yeah. >> there's more to choose from. >> if i knew credit was an

option -- >> it's always an option, baby. it's always an option. >> look, i've learned i would just rather come to you and say what do you want? just tell me because i don't want to buy something you don't need or don't want. i'd rather get you something you want. just tell me. remember that. christmas. christmas, christmas. just tell me what you want. >> i'm making a mental list. >> if not you're getting cologne, socks or what else, underwear. >> a tie. >> i don't know why i thought underwear for david. >> another segment coming up. coming up, really, though, this right now we want to show you a picture from a beautiful example of how it takes a village really. milliholliman documented her daughter's adoption day with a series of photos recognizing the people who supported the journey and the amazing photos have gone viral. she didn't mean for them to but people have just loved it and now milliand her adorable 5-year-old daughter wren like a little bird are joining us from

studio. are those little kitty cats on your shirt? >> yeah. yes, sir. >> can we borrow that shirt sometime, wren? it's so cute. >> they like your shirt. >> she's not convinced. >> the answer is no. she doesn't want to hurt your feelings. >> you're going to have a hard time prying that away from her. >> millie, i understand that there's some really exciting news that wren is going to get an addition to the family pretty soon. is that true. >> yes. yes, we're already fostering a little boy and i've had him -- he's 18 months old and have had him since he came home from the hospital and i should be adopting him within the next year. >> i love that picture that you made. i'm next. they're so simple and so beautiful. >> oh, yes. >> millie -- >> thank you. > what is your message for those watching this morning about opening up their homes and opening up their hearts? >> i hear a lot of people say

about it. when i tell them i'm fostering, they could never do it. it's too hard and it is hard. i've had a lot of kids order and it's tough to see them leave but it's also really rewarding so we get to make a difference in the kids' lives and it's good to remember that it's easy to live for ourself but it's usually mostly rewarding when we live for others. >> hey, wren, you love mommy? >> yeah. >> ah. >> so much. show momma. >> we love this story. >> this much. >> this much. >> i love you, baby. >> you know, this whole thing came about because millie, you lost a friend very young, correct, and you decided to change the way you looked at the world and life. >> yes, i lost a friend to breast cancer about a year before i started fostering so i decided that, you know, i needed to make things happen and live

big while i had the opportunity. >> ah. thank you for that. >> oh, little duck lips, what are you doing there, wren? i used to play with my mommy's hair like that too. >> having some fun. >> well, wren and millie, thank you for sharing your story with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. we're very excited. you having us on. can you wave to them? >> bye. >> oh. that's just amazing. >> i know. >> just tugs at your heartstrings. >> how do you beat that on a monday? >> well, jake gyllenhaal going one-on-one with michael. >> i don't know. give her a r >> let's talk guac.
