baton down the hatches it's going to be a busy morning and busy week in washington. senate republicans are beginning the final push toward a likely vote on their new healthcare bill coming up this week, but some gop lawmakers are pushing for that vote to be delayed. at the u.s. supreme court it's the last day of the current term. there is speculation that judge anthony kennedy may aannoyance his retirement. and there's a new twist tied to russia's meddling in the presidential election. president trump after failing to admit that it even happened for a long time is now accusing the obama administration of failing do more to try to stop it. we're covering it all this morning beginning with peter alexander. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: they're going to need major surgery for the healthcare bill if it's to pass this week. the president has been making personal phone calls to a handful

one of them saying don't discount his ability to persuade. his is more of a support role in a party negotiating with very little room for error. >> this morning on the senate's healthcare bill the president providing his prognosis. >> i don't think we're that far off. but i think we're going to get there. >> and the his prescription. >> i want to see a bill with heart. health care's a very complicated subject from the standpoint that you move it this way and that group doesn't like it. you move of it a little bit over here and a very narrow path. >> the challenge balancing the competing interests of reluctant republicans on the right worried the bill doesn't go far enough and those closer to the center anxious about the impact of propose medicaid cuts. with a vote expected this week, the gop can only afford to lose two senators or the bill fails. five oppose its current version and both sierds voicing reservations. >> there's no way we should be wroet voting on this next week. i had a hard time believing wisconsin constituents ormy

evaluate this. >> it's hard for me to see the bill passing this week, but that's up to the majority leader. >> right now i am undecided. >> for the senate's top republican mitch mcconnell and the white house, the tight timetable is part of plan. the strategy limiting time for debate. compelling republicans within days to finally deliver on a seven year-old promise to repeal obamacare, among the topics being discussed to possibly win over deciding votes, additional funding to combat the ownership i did eme economic and help for rural hospitals. still democrats aren't budging. >> we're doing everything with we can to fight this bill. >> the president now not just i tacking democrats as obstructionists but accusing former president obama of stealing his words when he criticized the fundamental meanness of the republican bill. >> he used my term mean, that was my term, because i want to see -- and i speak from the

see. i want to see a bill with heart. >> reporter: but by confirming that he called the bill mean it doesn't nak any easier for republicans to vote for this bill. imagine the democrats attack ads if they do. it's notable a review from a nonpartisan congressional office is expected today and this battle may not end right away. the number dwo senate republican john cornyn said the real final deadline isn't until the beginning of august. back to you. >> all right. thanks, peter, appreciate it. release are there are now developments tied russia's meddling in the presidential election. president trump now pointing the finger at the obama administration accusing the former president of failing to act for morse fully. nb's white house chris continue has more on that story. >> reporter: good morning to you. despite the intelligence community agreeing that russia met eled in last year's u.s. election, president trump has been reluctant to acknowledge that even call it a hoax at one point. but over th w

to finally acknowledge it and, in fact, couldn't stop talking about it using it as an issue to go after his predecessor. >> latching out against former president obama, president trump accusing his predecessor of at responding to russia hacking during the election. >> will just heard today for the first time that obama knew about russia a long time before the election and did he nothing about it. >> the president may have been referencing a washington post article about vladimir putin directly influencing that country's cyber attacks at the dnc. the report describes how the obama administration struggled to respond without making it seem political. one top obama official telling "the washington post," i feel like we sort of choked. >> if he had the information, why didn't doe something about it sne should have done something about it. but you don't read that, it's quite sad. >> over the weekend, the president also unloaded on twitter slamming the former president over the russia matter i

the fact that previous administration anoungsd sanctions against russia back in december. with mr. obama saying he discussed the issue of russian hacking with president putin himself. >> our goal continues to be to send a clear message to russia, or others, mott to do this to us because question do stuff to you. >> but even some democrats are questioning the obama administration's handling of the issue with the top democrat on the house intelligence committee now saying president obama did not go far enough. >> i think the obama administration should have done a lot more when it became clear that not only was russia intervening but it was being directed at the highest levels of the kremlin. >> and while the president deals with persistent allegations that some of mr. trump's associates may have colluded with the kremlin to win, mr. trump tried to change the subject tweeting hillary clinton colluded with the democrat party in order to beat crazy berniea

unfair to bernie. >> reporter: the question for president trump now, what are will he do to prevent russia or any other country from meddling in future u.s. elections. a number of lawmakers including many of his fellow republicans want him to get tougher on russia. all eyes will be on an upcoming meeting he'll have with president putin slated for next week. all right. thanks. as we've mentioned a lot of eyes on the u.s. supreme court this morning. it is the last day of the current term and there are two important unanswered questions. what's going to happen with president trump's controversial travel ban and will justice anthony kennedy retire? nbc pete williams is there. >> reporter: this year the suspense doesn't involve those rulings, it's all about the travel ban and whether justice kennedy

president trump is asking the supreme court to take up his appeal of two lower court rulings that have blocked the administration from carrying out his plan to stop issuing visas for 90 days for travel to the u.s. from six muslim countries. the white house says it's a matter of national security. a 90-day pause to assess the reliability of the visa background information in those countries associated with terrorism. lower courts says it's religious discrimination citing candidate trump's own words. >> we're calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the united states. >> the justice department wants a hold on those lower court rulings so the government can start enforcing the travel ban while it's on appeal. and the court's last day comes with speculation about a retirement. this year some friends of justice anthony kennedy say he's been thinking about it. he turns 81 in a month after 29 years on the supreme court. with four mostly conservative justices and four

ones, kennedy is often the decider, the man in the middle. kennedy plus the conservatives lose he loogsen the reins on money and campaigns and strengthen gun rights. kennedy plus the liberals made same sex marriage the law of the land, upheld abortion rights and limited use of the death penalty. conservatives like ted cruz long dreamed of the day he'll step down. >> the next vacancy is where we have the ability to get back and restore our basic coninstitutional protection. >> reporter: groups that help with the neil gore sich nomination say think they daid doubt he'll retire this year. the coming hours may provide the answers. >> thank you very much. we've got a little bit to chew on. >> yes, we do. >> good morning to both of you. >> good morning. let's start with healthcare. house mitch mcconnal's strategy

playing out and right now with the tug of war going on, who's got the upper hand. >> it's like the game of dienga where if you take things out to make it feel like a more repeal of the obamacare for the consivtive then it tumbles because of the moderates. and they're not even moderates just people who are worried about those medicaid dollars, they fall off. but if you put things back on top to keep them on it falls over from the weight. >> who's got the more power right now. >> i would say they're more moderates and people like ted cruz and rand paul are looking ahead to 2020 and it's like a staring match, no one wants to blink first. i don't know that they're gettable. >> the president used the word mean. >> he branded the healthcare bill. >> he used that to describe the house bill, the senate bill is not far off that. how does that undercut his efforts using that word mean. >> it totally undercuts it bhauz we w wokking to fas

bill would become more popular as they understood what was in it. they have the opposite dynamic they're trying to ram through this bill before people figure out what's in it because they know if people understand what's in the bill and how they're affected by it it's going to be less popular than it already is. >> we have the cbo score before the vote takes place on thursday so there will abe little bit more information for them to chew on. >> he's trying to rush this before the 4th of july recess because he knows if this gets delayed by a week or two it's only going to take on more water. >> this san interesting world. for a very long time president trump does not even admit that the russians meddled in the election, now he's willing to say, okay, they meddled and if they do, it's your former boss's fault, president obama. so looking back, and according to this washington post story, president obama was aware that vad puladimir putin himself was directing some of that meddling.

>> what makes it hard to take president trump's critique seriously we know what response was mobilized by the obama ziegs is something president trump and his team were trying to undermine before he took office. >> you have a top official quoted in the wosh post story saying i think we kind of choked on this. >> matt, the thing that people need to understand about this is it totally unprecedented. it's not unusual for russians to engage in trying to destabilize our democracy or mess around in cyber space. it's unprecedented for them to hack those e-mails and release them with a clear motive. and we learned the less opens of what happened in 2016. what we do d do was succeed in protecting our voting systems and we allowed people to cast their ballots and register and do that without any interference. but we need to look at this hack and leak strategy that the russians used that did have an impact on the

they can't do it again. >> so there are rumors that supreme court judge may retire, maybe even announce it today. what kind of battle will there be to replace him? >> there were even some democrats that thought the fight over kneel gore sich was a wasted one because the real one is the next one. ken decide a swing vote, so his vote is really important if you're on the left or if you're in the middle. and i'm hearing all the same rumors that pete williams is hearing. the thing that gives kennedy backers some confidence that a resignation will be sound under this president is the comfort that all sort of conservatives feel about the caliber and quality of the man that donald trump already picked, kneel gorsuch, but it terrifies people on the right and the the left. >> we're all still reading tea leaves on that one. thank you both very much. a lot more to get to this morning, including a deadly fery

packed tourist bus suddenly began to take on water and rock back and forth, that happened before it sank. we have that story. >> reporter: good morning, matt. it was supposed to be a day of fun in columbia. the popular weekend destination was especially crowded as they celebrated a long holiday weekend. but things took a deadly turn when that ferry started to take on water and went under in a matter of minutes. >> this dramatic video posted on social media shows a four-deck ferry with at least 150 passengers on board rocking from side so to side as it started taking on water. >> translator: we were with our family when we started to hear screams and noise and people started telling us four levels high that had gone out with a lot of people. >> local level passengers quickly scrambling to the top deck as the boat started to sink. everyone should be rushingu

this video speeds up as motor boats, jet skis, and fishing boats race to try and help. then chaos as the ferry's bottom decks collapse. >> translator: people began to climb on to other people to be able to get out. so there were a lot of injured people. >> 99 people were rude, dozens remain unaccounted for this morning. >> translator: it was incredible to see all of the survivors start arriving. everyone pulled together and started to help. >> drivers spent the afternoon searching for mission passengers. survivors say the ferry was overcrowded and there were not enough life jackets for everyone on board. >> divers are expected back in the water today to search for the missing. and they say they're still investigating the cause of the accident. back to you. now to those nervous moments on a flight we showed you at the top of the show. the plane was shaking so

violatel violently the pie lot told passengers to start praying. they said they heard a loud bang from the engine before that shaking started. the bone rattling vibration. it went on for nearly two hours before the plane turned back and made a safe emergency landing. >> it was shattering, shattering, shattering, and we thought we were going down. >> we were pulling out the life jacket, pretty much preparing. but we thought there was a good chance we were going to go down. >> they say the engineers are emergencying the plane for what it calls a technical issue. the passengers were transferred to the next available flight. you can even imagine two hours. >> if something happens like that two minutes is a long time. you can imagine sitting there for two hours. >> thank god they landed safely, though. let us get a check at the

>> we have a lot of heat out west and it's part of the reason we saw this fire spread up to 900 acres this is in santa clarita just north of l.a. it was a car crash that ignited the nearby dry bush brush and that fire jumped over a bridge and continued to spread with that dry brush and temperatures out that way very hot. now, in the southwest we do have 16 million people under some sort of heat advisory or heat warning for the heat that's going to continue for one more day with high pressure in control, temperatures still coming across the land, so it keeps things very, very hot. palm springs 117 degrees today, las vegas 108, phoenix should make up to 113. temperatures will start to cool off to a little closer to average. we'll drop by about 5 degrees or so in the middle of the week. your local forecast is coming up in the next 30 seconds.

president. >> i think he got to be president because of the breaks that john f. kennedy made. other thing about that time, my parents were dirt-road democrats. they were success spivs john f. kennedy, catholic and from this very keiththy family in massachusetts. they didn't feel connected to him. and it's striking when you look at it, he was the end of a crowd. we had a missouri senator was highly regarded, linden johnson, they all wanted to be the democrat candidate. he was the dpie that was thought of as the play boy on the senate. and as you said at the beginning i didn't think there was anymore i could learn from this but these two guys have turned up a mountain of stuff. >> one of the things he did that no one had done before he was hired a pollster, a young guy named lou harris. and harris taught him that for example religion was actually a two-edge sword. there were all kinds of independent oriented catholics who came out to vote for

and seeing that balance and much more importantly getting kennedy to talk about it, unlike, say, al smith in 1928, kennedy would bring it up. >> we've talked a lot, tom and i have talked about this and we talk about it on this show a lot, that campaigns these days go on for it seems like an eternity and yet there is a very important vetting process that is a part of the length of that campaign. but in the book you guys go back and you look at really was it a yun-year campaign, it was a five-year process under taken by john f. kennedy to prepare himself and put himself in the right position to be elected president. >> right. he ruleeally got started in '56 the democratic convention where he was choosing his rung mate. and suddenly this inexperienced senator nearly captured it at the convention and he burst on to the scene and took

kennedy, tom, and i guess depending on what your experience was with him at the time, you would have one opinion or another. string puller, backroom deal maker was a couple of the things you've heard. but something interesting in the book, though, is that within the campaign his reputation was different. >> very different. the money, yes, that's a given. but we found in our deep dive into all this stuff that his advice, his orders, his browbeating of his sons was almost every maid paid attention to. he had a concept of this game, the old way, back rooms, big deals with bosses and whatever. kennedy was the first guy to run for president in a way that let the voters in. and that put him at -- his father yielded the turf, but to say that he was a significant influence on that campaign would be a grow

overstatement. >> my feeling about him was always he said jump and the son said, how high. >> remember how after one of those things curtis, john kennedy i think got up and said, well thank you very much, dad, for your advice and everything, but here's what we're going to do. >> it was about going to west virginia, he opposed to going to west virginia, turned out to be a very biblical primary. they had a pow would you and the old man says you don't dare go there there are no catholics in west virginia. and john kennedy said well we've heard from the ambassador and this what we're going to do. >> it's always striking to me about the relationship between john kennedy and the father is that the kennedy guys, you know, including bobby, also learned however from the father about how do a deal. they took it to the next generation. this is a corporate kind of campaign in terms of how they organize it, and the old man had a hard time dealing with that. >> let me say this, i

like me and thought there's nothing new to learn about john f. kennedy, curtis and thomas changed your mind on that in this book. congratulations guys. up next, is it time to ditch your doctor? some helpful advice about moving on and getting better healthcare.

welcome back to "today". are you overly attached to your doctor? a lot of people find it difficult to separate from their physicians that they've been seeing for a listening, long time. when it comes to that all-important relationship, it's important to know it can run its course. we have a guest to help us figure out when it's time for a good old fashioned breakup. hi. >> good morning. >> sometimes and we'll get into the reasons as to why, but sometimes you feel like something just isn't right and you think it's okay to break up. should you have

and say, hey, look it's not me ps you or it's not you it's me what should you do. >> always better to communicate. but the person we're going to talk about is the pediatrician. >> okay. >> so think about this. this is a monumental change for kids. >> yeah. >> going from having a pediatrician, adolescent doc transitioning to the adult doctor, it's a big change. >> right. >> you're not going to be dealing with this for a little while but parents at the start of puberty should start having this conversation with their pediatrician. >> so when about is the right time to say i'm ready to move on from the pediatrician to another doctor? >> so basically these are the kinds you things you want to think about. you want to ask the preed decision's practice at what age do they stop seeing kids. you want to know how many teenagers are in the practice or do they have an adolescent room so the kids aren't sitting there with all the other babies in the waiting room. what's their policy on confidentiality. are they going to at a certain age your pediatrician should be speaking with your child confidentially for

and also probably most importantly especially for young girls, do they provide gyn care or contraceptive counseling. >> this seems like an obvious one, you need a specialist, you need something your doctor cannot provide zblour right. listen, we don't want this to happen, but of course in your lifetime you might develop a chronic illness of some sort, whether it's heart disease, arthritis, autoimmune disease and you're going to be referred to a specialist. often times that specialist the participate in your insurance as a primary care provider and you can ask them, you can say can you still function as my primary care doctor. but of course sometimes they can't. now i will say of course that the specialist very often because of the nature of the illness will cover a lot of things four such as laboratories and vaccines. but that's one place where you certainly might transition from a regular primary care doctor who handles everything to a specialist who can also provide that care for you. >> this next one is i think a big one.

er you show up and you wait two hours, you ask him you can explain a little more detail he or she gives you some really quick reactions. you need connect. >> absolutely. that speaks to communication. if you walk out of your doctor's office and you're thinking to yourself, what did the doctor say, what diagnosis, what does this mean for me, that's not a good thing. also the their putic approach. imagine if you as the patient feel like you'd like to be more aggressive in your treatment and the doctor's very conservative, or vice-versa. and a big one for a lot of people is is your doctor going to collaborate with your other doctors. are they open to communicating and relaying information between your specialists. >> we should point out that although we can break up with you, you can break up with us if you want. >> yes, yes, yes. this is the two-way street once in a while. and, again, it's not like a marriage per se when you can say irreconcilable differences there's a personality conflict. that's not going to fly. first and foremost is that the physician is on

healthcare provider is responsible for continuity of care, they cannot do anything that's going to jeopardize that. >> why would they want to break up with a patient. >> every once in a while there's going to be a patient who's going to be problematic for their care. they may not show up for their appointments, they may not pay, they maybe noncompliant and of course there are situation where's they may be very rude or aggressive or violent with staff. there's a protocol for doing it, there's a legality to it, but it can be done. >> thank you for that. there's nothing vanilla about the whacky new ice cream flavors, we are going to sample them but but first this is "today" on nbc.

duke's is the perfect companion for so many things. it makes a tomato taste more like a tomato. it makes bacon taste more like bacon. it's a unique flavor. the texture is incredible. duke's really adds integrity to our recipes. duke's is smooth and creamy. it has a lemony edge.

it's made with real ingredients. i don't think there's another mayonnaise that compares to duke's. we are back now on monday morning with today's food trend. >> this morning, it's all about getting creative when it comes to frozen treats. take a

for a frozen frenzy. cool creations from the cone to the cup, comfort food range as ice cream and popsicles dplau fans from w their fun flavors and photograph ability. >> ice cream and popsicles are more popular than ever. we've seen a 10% increase in people talking about them in the past year. that's millions of people who are super excited about both. >> and millions of different incarnation, even more with posts on social media. in atlanta, king of pops pro freeze up flavors like fresh peach, key lime pie and mow heat toe. and when it comes to ice cream, the w50i8der the better. block olive britt he will and goat chees. in new york you can find it topping waffles, croix assistants and tieiac i can, a japanese fish-shaped cake. it is rolled and shaved, infused with liquor and finished o

cream ice as king charles, iii called it was found regularly at his table. honey and necktor. but it wasn't until the mid-17 hundreds that ice cream as know it made its way to the new world taking on the hearts of kids. the treats have become so tasty today that in los angeles they're enshrined in the museum of ice cream where tens of thousands including celebrities have come to pay hom age. >> a quarter of the most popular places are located in california, that makes california the mecca, the he center. >> in san francisco, twirl and dip wait in line for their vanilla bean and dark chocolate soft serve which is then dipped and scattered with sea salt.

cotton candy sandwiched in between macha roons at the donut shop. cook dies at cool house and pyatt flia provision. in los angeles, you can even find an ice cream taco. reasons for everyone to scream for ice cream. >> all right. this is crazy but we have all the flavors out here. >> and half of them are on the floor here. >> they're melting. so this big cheesecake item is from juniors. somebody's got to try that. get in there, matt. get in there have some that's a whole chunk of cheesecake on the outside. >> now you guys, how is that? is it crazy good. >> is that a trick question. >> so this is the straw you guys were eating that one. did you try the salted care medical. >> i did. >> how's that, matt. >> it's really good. >> it's very good. >> now, does that have bacon in it, the other one? >> the second one has bacon in it. >> i wasn't expecting it. it's actually really good, i just didn't expect it. >> those are

they've got some kind of rice concoction. >> rice coating around ice cream. >> try that one. >> and these are homemade cones, you guys. >> oh, man. give that a go. >> meanwhile we have the double dipping police over here. she's. >> we don't double dip. >> she gets completely freaked out by it. >> this one's very free for people like me. >> this is real gli. >> so are we -- come on we're kind of happy right now. >> the cheesecake alone is overwhelming. >> all dishs. did you try that cone to give it a whirl? >> as great as all these are, you give me chocolate or vanilla or coffee, i'm good absolutely really good. >> all right. we are back in a moment but first, this is "today".

all right. i just want to tell you that, matt, i said i love this one. >> she's not only allowed to eat dairy. >> i'm shoveling it in. >> she put it in her mouth i'm like oh, no, it's this one. >> i thought it was over for me. >> it came out her nose, but that's enough of that. what's coming up. we're doing a series on our idols, people we've admired all our lives. i'm tap dancing on the

shoulder and, you know, sore you'd be here taping it. now it's like something goes on you could literally just go wham and you got it. and it's easy and there's an asc app so it makes it easier to upload for people right off their phones straight into the offices of a&b. so it's a fun one. >> speaking of capturing moments, how's everybody's weekend? was your wife fwlout some reinforcements i heard because you were here. >> every time i leave town my wife hates it when i leave being in the house by myself. so we're in a rental house so it's even worse. so she asked her brother to come and fly in and. >> to help her. >> hang out, help her with the kids. even though we have the nan nips it's always nice to have family around. so on the way as i was leaving she drove to the airport to pick up her brother and instead, like, she got there a little early and went to like a park right underneath the flight path of the planes so she could sit there and the kids were j

more rised watching the planes. this is my son a.j. just right there next to the airport, lax. and it's just like a great little place and people go and sit if you don't want to snit yo sit in your car. >> that's really cool. >> they love the planes so it's cool for them to be able to go and do that. i've got three kids were 14-year-old daughter siena, and a.j. there and my littlest one is anders. and it's crazy for me because anders, his eyes are bright blue. so it's like almost awkward. >> are you zblien when you go somewhere with your kid and people are like is that your kid? that's not your kid man. he's got blond hair and blue eyes, that ain't your kid. >> but then you see his personality and you're like, he's mine. >> i'm atl

sometimes too. >> and i was looking on spram. did you cut brian's hair? did you always do that. >> i've never cut brian's hair before, but his hair was out of control if you've seen him lately. it just grows up and out. so we decided, let me just cut his hair. >> you did. >> you cut his hair. >> oh, i didn't see this video. >> so we decided also why not for a first time try instagram live. so we instagramed live the whole thick. >> do you have any information on how to cut hair? >> no. but here's the thing, i started with the lowest setting thinking not realizing it was the lowest setting, so the front i will say i did really good. >> that's cute. >> but we have a picture of the back. >> where's the back. >> it's where i started. >> oh, no. >> okay, listen. that's worse than just having it long. so you've got to clean that up. you've got to -- >> my thinking was, i can't make this lookny worse so let me just try it. >> it

>> the front's okay. >> the front is okay. >> the front's fine, but everybody behind him when he walks away they're going to be talking about him. >> and i -- i told him to make him feel better i said you'll never have to see the back. >> that's true. that's true. >> so when you did it, he didn't obviously know at the time. >> i just ordered a razor thing online, so i didn't realize there was a beard set of clippers and a hair set of clippers, i didn't know that. i started with the beard set. >> yeah, no, that's for this. >> yeah. >> that's for this, right. so i have this and i bring my clippers wherever i go because i make sure that i can line it up and keep it at a right height. >> if you want know trim it up at any point. >> no, no, black people don't like you messing with our hair who don't know what they're doing. we're real serious about our hair. >> i laughed the whole time. >> so would do you it again? >> yes. he actually said it's not that bad. >> really. >> but he can't see the back. >> it
