the legislature examine fetal homicide and revisit neonatal viability as the parameter for prosecuting a fetal homicide. nonprofit americans united for life strongly agrees. they wrote a letter to the acting u.s. attorney for maryland, urging him to file federal charges in the that would make it possible to bring a second murder charge against tessier under the unborn victims of violence act, also known as lacy and connor's law. >> under the federal law the age of the baby has no bearing on whether a murder was committed. here we know there were two victims, laura and her unborn baby, at 14 weeks. and we're asking for justice for both of those victims. >> reporter: criminal defense attorney richard fency says he doesn't see federal charges coming because of the state's attorney. >> i think mr. mccarthy runs a very competent strong office and he will be able to prosecute a case like thistr

well, another busy week on the political beat. >> here's a look at some of the headlines. president trump takes the iran nuclear agreement into new territory. de-certifying the deal, issuing new sanctions, raising new tensions. >> at the same time he's pressing ahead with new health care orders that seem designed to end obamacare. >> and former president obama is about to make a rare public appearance in virginia. so, nbc news political director, moderator of meet the press chuck todd is here to talk about this. let's talk about de-certifying the iran deal. what is the benefit of that for the president, especially when we have tensions with north kore n

iran? >> look, i think first of all, remember, he has done a few things. one is he has solidified a set of allies in the middle east in a different way than president obama did with the gulf nation states and israel and however you look at it he's made a decision to be more aligned with essentially the soviet uniunni this argument. none of them liked the iran deal. none of them wanted to see it because it was a containment strategy in their minds and it eventually delayed in their minds the inevitable. so, that's one reason he's trying to deliver for his allies. i think he thinks congress can give him more leverage. look, i would say this. i'm combining the health care and iran stories because they're actually the same thing. meaning he made this announcement that sounds like a big deal. but he's actually not done anything yet. he's giving congress the opportunity to either help him finish going down that path, either de-certify, kill the nuclear deal, i don't want to do these subsidies, let's kill obamacare. okay, you want to keep the deal? then give

restart a new deal on ballistic missiles on iran or keep the health care, fine, send me a bill with those insurance guarantees in it, but you do it. maybe i'll sign that bill if you make these changes. so, it sounded like he was willing to do a lot, but read the fine print, he's punting to congress. he's willing to deal. >> in case nothing happens it looks like he did something. >> the base gets to say he tried. boy, that congress can't do anything. i came in here ready to sign repeal and replace. they sent me nothing. i came here ready to tear up the nuclear deal, but congress won't let me do it. weirdly win/win for him politically even as it creates instability in the moment. >> let's get to the health care issue because you bring that up. when it comes to that, most americans want president trump to do the exact opposite of what it appears he's trying to do now to the health care law. let's take a look at the results of a new kaiser health tracking poll. i' i'm sure you've seen this already. 71% say theyt

work. only 21% a he's doing what he can to make it fail for something he hasn't created yet. does the president own health care going down the road? >> so, this is the risk. and this is why i think senate republicans and house republicans are essentially not willing to take that risk. they don't want to find out who wins the blame game argument. because ultimately it's likely they get the blame, right. it won't just be trump, trump and republicans get the blame. look, i think there is this fear, they've seen these numbers. they've seen people are paying attention to the health care issue. this isn't going to be the case of obamacare failed because obamacare didn't work. they will blame the republicans for undermining it if they're not careful spaernl especially the way they've gone about it. i think that's the risk here for them and that's why the president can please his base that wants to see sort of a more pugilistic result here. we got do undo something that makes the left

same time they won't fully do it because they're worried about the middle of the road voters. i don't like the way obamacare works but i want senator mccain. that's the volter they risk alienating. >> what are you having on your show? >> john kasich, a defender of the law, how it works. we're going to dig into the iran deal and try and understand better what is the end game here. it seems as if don't listen to what he says, watch what he does. >> let's look at the virginia race where you have president obama now making a rare appearance for the democratic candidate there. old dominion a big deal? >> it's the biggest race that's competitive in this odd year. that's number one. number two, when it comes to the democratic strategy in virginia and these off year elections, how do you take voters who will vote in presidential races and get them to the interested in the gubernatorial race? how do you do it? you get a national figure. so, that's president obama's job in this as far asph

is concerned, is to get folks who are called federal voters, meaning these folks that only vote in the presidentials, the congressionals to be focused on the good to be i can-- gubernat voters they think they might be more interested in trump. they might use this appearance to push back on health care. >> obama, why is he not using his popularity to push back against what is happening to health care right now? he's willing to use it for northam, but not health care? >> it's interesting. look, he really, i think, over time appreciated the fact that george w. bush didn't back seat drive him that first year. dick chaeney did. the former vice-president did, like joe biden may speak out harsh err harsher or secretary kerry. president obama respects how george w. bush handled. he was getting goaded but he wouldn't do it.

i don't expect president obama to get personal about president trump with northam. i think that's the line he tries -- he will make this impassioned case to save health care and he might say, please just call it trumpcare, i don't care. but i actually think he will step away from that because i think this is about that aspect of it. >> every precedent about how presidents treat each other is thrown out the window. >> what precedents are here any more? >> there you go. >> you know what, there are people actually that think that are getting angry that president obama won't speak out. >> won't speak up, yeah. thanks, chuck. >> quick reminder, chuck todd is going to be working this weekend as always bringing you the latest political news. meet the press airs sunday morning 10:30 on news 4. >> the urgent warning from police before you gas up this weekend. >> here's another reason to keep watching the news, folks. how it made one man $24 million richer. >> frrewriting rock and roll history, a

>> i trust him because i've been around him now, this is my fourth year and he's given me no reason not to. so, he's such a good athlete, but even if he's a little bit sore, not quite 100%, he's probably more effective than a majority of tackles in the league, so. >> tom wilson returns to the ice for the caps in the preseason. he was suspended for a second time for games for a late hit against st. louis. wilson, he's eager to prove he's ready to contribute to the team. >> it's exciting. got a season debut excitement. but it's going to be my job to channel that and push it toward good areas and make sure that i play with poise and contain the excitement a little bit when i get out there and try and kind of evolve with the league and with my game and hopefully we can get out there and just play good clean hockey. >> all right. caps 2-1-1 on the season. they have the devils tonight. time to keep track of them for their championship run. it's early in the season but that's what mrs
