. today senator john mccain returns for a crucial health care vote after a brain cancer diagnosis as president trump promotes health care in front of 40,000 screaming boy scouts while putting pressure on his hhs secretary. >> by way, are you going to get the votes? he better get them. otherwise i'll say tom, you're fir fired! >> then two of the president's men on the hot seat but for different reasons. the truck driver faces the death penalty in the human traffic horror. >> the latest on the condition of little charlie gard. >> and millions of risk facing severe

>> good to be with you on a tuesday morning. >> how about that news on senator mccain? >> really psyched to see if he heads back to washington this morning. yeah, a recovering senator john mccain is heading back to washington in one of the most crucial votes for senate republicans this year as they look to finally repeal obamacare and/or bring their own health care bill to the floor. it's still not exactly clear what republicans will be voting on. given the secretive nature behind mitch mcconnell's plan. >> still the president put pressure on members of his own party. >> for the last seven years, republicans have been united in standing up for obamacare's victims. remember, repeal and replace, repeal and replace. they kept saying it over and over again. but so far senate republicans have not done their job in ending the obamacare nightmare. they now have

to hopefully -- hopefully -- fix what has been so badly broken for such a long time. >> nbc's chief white house correspondent hallie jackson has a preview. good morning, hallie. all rig >> reporter: good morning to you. all the action is happening just down pennsylvania avenue from where we are because as you know republican leadership is promising this vote to try to start debates on a health care bill, but at this point it's not clear what that bill look like or whether there is fluff suppo enough support. you have some republican senators i'm think positinthink who says he's a no unless it repeals it now and delays a replacement plan. but a lot of other senators feel differently.

so this will be a test if mitch mcconnell. president trump is using the power of his bully pulpit to issue this warning shot even to his own party trying to get republicans to get on board here. he wants repeal and replace and he wants to get it done. remember, this is a president who six months into his administration is really looking for some kind of legislative win over on chilapitol hill. he wants health care to be that victory. question is will he get it. watching lots of action here in washington. but for now, back to you in new york. and it looks as though the president is ratcheted the president on members of his own cabinet, as well. listen to this seemingly joking threats threat he made to tom price. >> secretary tom price is also here. by the way, you're going to get the votes? he better get them. otherwise i'll say tom, you're

requested information. >> reporter: we will hear more from kushner today in that house intelligence committee meeting where he will likely do what he did yesterday, detail four separate contacts with people from russia. he says he never discussed sanctions. >> all right, thank you. and now to the driver of a tractor trailer found carrying dozens of undocumented immigrants in san antonio. he may be facing the death penalty. authorities saying a tenth person has died after being. >> interpreter: trapped in the truck. james bradley jr. appeared in a texas court mondayr: trapped in truck. james bradley jr. appeared in a texas court monday charged with transporting undocumented immigrants. gabe guttierez has the latest. >> reporter: federal prosecutors say james bradley jr. is the 60-year-old trucker who drove undocumented immigrants to a stifling end. ten are dead after san antonio police found 39 of them
