had a gong on this show. >> he was an original. we'll take more about his life and career coming up. talk about changing pace let's start with today's top story. the failed north korean missile launch detected overnight. this is the third since president trump took office. the u.s. pacific command monitoring the isolated regime closely, responding with a show of force. andrea mitchell has the latest on this. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, u.s. pacific command and south korean officials say the north korean loss was a dud. the missile they had been tracking, blowing up within seconds. the question now did covert u.s. action cause that failure? overnight a north korean missile exploding moments after launch on north korea's east coast. the latest in a series of escalating actions. actions u.s. officials feel go

saber rattling. just last week they fired off four ballistic missiles into the japan. the country's rhetoric also escalating as the u.s. and south korea take part in annual join military exercises. monday a government spokesman calling the nuclear force the treasured sword of justice. most reliable war deterrence to defend the socialist motherland. the comments coming days after secretary of state rex tillerson returned prom the region. north korea is now threatening preemptive action can you say whether you think that's a dangerous escalation, sir? >> no comment today. >> reporter: tillerson talked tough. warning of a possible reemptive military strike. >> let me be very clear. the policy of strategic patience has ended. >> reporter: kim jong-un's

response. >> a fiery new propaganda video. the aircraft carrier now on military exercises with south korea and shooting an american bomber out of the sky. a top secret u.s. cyber program sabotaged previous north korean launches. unclear today was today's failed launch an accident or evidence that the u.s. has found a way to slow down north korea's progress to developing the long range missile that could reach the west coast of the u.s. >> andrea, thanks very much. now, to the white house where a former trump campaign chairman is in the headlines over alleged secret ties to a russian billionaire. it's coming down to the wire and our political team is standing by. let's start with peter alexander at the white house. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. first to that breaking news and news

press is reporting that president trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort secretly worked for a russian billionaire to advance the interest of vladmir putin a decade ago and proposed a strategy to undermine and tie russian opposition across soviet nations. manafort himself says he never worked for russian interests. sean spicer told me the white house doesn't have any comment. it would be inappropriate to speak about an official who doesn't work for the white house. the problematic headline could not come at a worse time for president trump. it comes as he's trying to get his first legislative win on healthcare. it's now going down to the wire. this morning nearly seven years to the day after president obama signed his signature healthcare law. his vice president trying to save it from extinctio

resistance pushing democrats to help defeat president trump's replacement plan. such as mr. trump tries to seal his biggest deal yet. pitching republicans last night. the house bill ends the obamacare nightmare. and gives healthcare decisions back to the states and back to the american people. >> reporter: the comments punk chew waiting his congressional courtship, earlier taking his courtship to the capital. >> we're going to have a real winner. >> reporter: a personal appeal earning praise from the republican house speaker. >> i got to just say, editorial, the president just knocked the ball out of the park. >> reporter: the final cut down including last minute tweaks. at least 27 republicans are likely to vote know. republicans can only afford 21. >> the whip is telling him this is a slum dunk and it's not. he's still being

opinion as far as i can tell. on thursday, reality is going to come crashing down. >> reporter: behind closed doors, the negotiator in chief delivering a warning to members of his own party. vote against the bill and gamble being voted out of office. ma meadows unphased. >> it's a temporary job and i've known that from day one. >> reporter: the white house calling that exchange a joke, not a threat. but offering a warning of its own. if we go out there and make pledges to the american people and don't do what we've said we've done on these big things they'll look for an alternative. >> reporter: three republicans are still balking at the bill and democrats looking to capitalize. >> the house should not ask senate republicans to walk this plank. they should drop repeal, once

>> reporter: one of the president's real challenges on the healthcare bill is that to many of its republican opponents it's policy and ideology. they don't think it goes far enough to dismantle obamacare. house speaker paul ryan will face a tough decision before the end of tomorrow. does he gamble and let the house vote or does it pull it and start over. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. >> let us bring in steve kornacki of msnbc. be heard about the math and we could be wrong, 27 republicans still aren't on board with the bill. only 21 can vote against it and have it still pass. what's going on behind the scenes? >> let's take you through the math and what you need if you're trying to pass it. there is only 430 members of the house. you need 216 that's your magic number for a majority. right away everything that's black

democrat. you're not going to get any democratic votes. you have to rely on 237 republicans. that leaves you a margin error of 21 votes. you can lose 21 votes. you have 27 who say no. but are they saying we're absolutely no or are we saying we're likely know? if you talk to people, their best hope is this, that those likely noes at the end of the day for their own political reasons they say they want to vote no but if it's a close vote on the pass they will come around. the risk is, these things can cascade. if you don't have the votes people hold back. if it looks like it doesn't pass, suddenly they all rush to vote no and you've got a massacre on your hands. it's a big risk if they put this thing on the floor tomorrow and they're not sure they're at 216. >> the other alternative isn't great, which is pull the bill and start over. is that a realistic option? >> it really isn't at thi

wolves circling. then you are showing you are weak. hard to get them back at that point. >> steve kornacki a lot of people following this closely. thank you very much. deadly storms that swept across parts of the south on tuesday night have taken a toll in georgia. the spring storm brought lightning, golf ball sized hail. at least one person was killed when a tree fell on a suburban atlanta home. dozens of trees were downed throughout the area. more than 100,000 people were left without power, at least two districts announced closings and delays because of storm damage. >> that brings us to dylan, rough times for sure. >> there with were 100 reports of damaging winds, winds strong enough to indicate those severe storms were moving through. you can see over the last 12 hours they fired up across eastern tennessee then moved through northern georgia and the carolinas too. they're off

leftover rain across cape hatteras. we're seeing improvements. it was caused by a cold front that moved through combined with warmer air and triggered the storms. we're looking at colder air with wind advisories. we could see wind gust near 45 to 50 miles per hour. with all the snow melt that could create unsettled ground and the winds could cause power lines and trees to topple. this morning, though, wind chills are down in the teens and 20s. it's one of those days where the warmest part of the day is right now. later on this afternoon, temperatures will continue to drop. we're looking at temps in new york city,28 by 6:00 this evening with a wind chill of 16. bundle up. that's a look at the weather, your local forecast is coming up in the next 30 seconds.

supreme court heading back to the hot seat. christen welker is covering that for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. as judge neil gorsuch prepares for a second day of tough 82 questions, the white house is praising his performance so far. one official telling me the view inside the west wing is that the confirmation hearings are going extremely well. key to his confirmation may be his ability to distance himself from president trump. and that was on display yesterday when he was pressed over and over again to weigh in on some of president trump's recent attacks on the judiciary. for the first time, judge gorsuch went on the record calling those attacks disheartening. the white house tried to argue he wasn't specifically talking about president trump. president trump last night during that party dinner even attacked the

he kept his cards close to the vest. didn't show his hand. said it would be inappropriate to weigh in on those types of topics. he's responding another round of tough questions today, including whether or not some of his past rulings show he favors large corporations over the little guy. that's something the judge gorsuch has consistently denied. >> and another day today, before him. kristen welker, thank you so much. i want to turn to the sad news we mentioned at the top of our show. legendary game show host chuck barris has passed away at the age of 87. he was an american original. chuck barris best known for creating and hosting the gong show. a quirky spoof of talent shows that dominated the air waves in the 70s. >> ladies and gentlemen,

so there's a lot of pressure on the wait staff to turn and burn the tables. to get people in and out. i tell people if you want to have a relaxed time, not to feel rushed, try going out on a thursday or a wednesday night. or find out what off night works at a particular restaurant. i will tell you, one time never to go. is never show up like, half an hour before closing. because we hate you. you know. because the kitchen guys had been there since early in the morning. they want to go home. so you're a latecomer while you're eating your salad, your dinner may be under a heat lamp while they're spraying solvents. >> i tend to be like the first person in a restaurant because i go to bed early. what are some of the rules, you know, some families like to linger, you have your wine, you don't want to leave until the last sip. is there an unwritten rule o

the table. >> a restaurant is a business and tables are real estate. okay. and the rule of thumb is two top or two people will take an hour and a half to two hours. four top will take about two hours. anything larger than that, three or four hours. when people decide to stay too long, what happens is the seating plan gets completely destroyed. and then you have a line out the door. then you get this embarrassing situation where the manager may say, you got to go. so i say if you want to keep the party going, you know, go to the bar, go somewhere else. you know, you don't have to leave but you can't stay here. >> that's a good idea, move to the bar to have your coffee, you know, your final drink whatever you want to do. it's quite nice to do that. my wife, jess, always believes that the first table they sit you on is the worst table in the restaurant. you always have to ask for another table. they'll try and get that table used. is that right? i

customer -- i always tell the story ofal alec baldwin came in and the only table i had was by the ladies room. he was cool about it. the best part was watching all the ladies running into the makeup to fix their makeup. he had a good time. he was a very good guy. >> i got to know, if you are rude to the wait staff. not that i have ever been. >> of course. >> what are some of the stories that the wait staff has done? do they do anything? >> most people are very nice. some people are psychopaths, right? and if you're really beyond the pale, you know, what everyone is worried the waiter is going to do something to the food. that almost never happened. you might get a subtle form of revenge. you may want decafa and i'll gie you regular. my go to move was to tell you that your credit card had been declined. y
