the first 100 days is campus reform contribute, and via skype robert mccaul, the counsel on american islamic relations. thanks so much for joining it. >> i want to let our audience know, it was important for us to get a diverse audience. chelsea, you're a member of the lgbtq community. i want to kind of go to each one, give me a grade on how you would grade the first 100 grades. >> well, i love to go ahead and ive president trump a b. >> don't tell us why. >> i'm giving him a d >> ok. >> because i'm generous. >> robert >> give him a d minus. >> should we start with the person who gave him a b >> absolutely. >> first and foremost on the form policy side of
6:32 pm
would live to give him an a. >> on the domestic side, more of a c, but millenials who voted for donald trump have a lot to write home about. and what we see at the leadership, is millenials, what they want is a job and start a business. and the policies that trump is enacting or trying to, the business track from 35% to 15%, cutting back regulations, certainly the step in the right direction for those millenials trying to get going. >> do you want to respond to that and explain why you gave him a d minus >> when i think about how he's rescinded some of president obama. executive orderses protecting lgbt americans from description for federal contractors, especially in our city considering, you know, our work force here, that has a significant impact on us, when i think about
6:33 pm
guidelines for how we treat trans students in our public schools, that -- that weighs heavy on me and i can't look fondly on those choices. yeah, when i think about immigration? the lgbt people exist there as well when i think about his deportation or the search and deportation we're talking about, lgbt families that are also affected >> robert, you gave the d minus, the lowest grade here, i imagine that has something to do. >> it's the president's job to uphold the u.s. constitution. he's had who immigration executive orders. one penalizing cities that do not hand over undocumented immigrants and they been held up in the courts as being executive overreach or just plainly discriminatory and if the president can't uphold the
6:34 pm
constitution, he's relying on description, religious, racial, he's not doing his job right. moreover, the president selected a number of advisors, these are people that have track records, where they're making anti-minority statements, anti-lgbt statements, anti-muslim statements and the president surrounded himself with advisors that don't look out for the whole of the american population. >> robert is loan conservative here, do you want to -- >> there's so many people. >> loan conservative here on our panel do you want to respond to what robert said? >> absolutely. i believe it all fundamentally circles back to the american people. the middle class care about the economy and what we see time and time again, especially millenials. as a former college student, they graduate over $35,000 of college
6:35 pm
you're able to solve that is by fixing the economy. i think that's the right direction, he's certainly pushed the ball forward in that camp. >> also we're mentioning foreign policy. why do you believe he deserves an a in that area. >> big issue is nafta. you're trading between canada and mexico. this is an incident where bernie supports are on the trump train. and they're supporting jobs at home and american workers feeling the american economy >> i know people have been critical that the president, although he's gotten a number of executive orders written, he passed no significant legislation. he spoke to fox news martha mccal
6:36 pm
let's listen >> there was no major legislation passed in the first hundred days >> that's wrong. first of all, we have 28 bills >> are you disappointed with how the republicans have handled these big issues, healthcare went down the first time and there was >> it is a very tough system. >> he said he was disappointed. let me ask you, chelsea, are you surprised, we had a republican president. we got a republican controlled congress. >> i'm pleased they haven't gotten more done but i can't say i'm surprised. when trump was coming through the campaign trail, there was a lot of seemed like rifts, it's not surprising they're have having troubles coming together >> robert, tell me what your that you said are on specifically him being disappointed that he couldn't
6:37 pm
surprised as well that given the republican majority here? >> you know, i'm not surprised because trump isn't necessarily a republican. he ran on the republican be ticket. when you look at trump policies, it's not necessarily he wanted to drain the swamp. he was looking to outsiders. this advice again comes in conflict with a lot of american values, a lot of constitutional values, and we just don't see that connect between republican leadership and the trump administration. >> we're out of time but one thing if you would like to see this administration focus on for the future or do better. can you give me one thing? chelsea >> equal pay. >> steven >> healthcare bill right now that's being reintroduced i think it will work well >> robert >> this administration promised to balance infiltration in muslim communities. we need a
6:38 pm
let the president focused on that >> steve, chelsea and robert, director of government affairs, thank you for being here. we appreciate your perspectives. . one of the local counties that helped elect president trump was culpeper. and bob barnard made the trip back to see how people think the president is doing after 100 days. >> one days days into the trump presidency we've come back to culpeper, virginia. trump country. where we spent the day after the election. this is the cafe on main street in the heart of culpeper. there is much love for the 45th president of the united states before you know >> i'm a trump supporter. i believe in what he does. i believe he's going to turn this country around >> he's doing the best he can with what he's got >> he's the president we need to respect that. all in all, it will work
6:39 pm
out. i think he'll be just fine >> he's been doing a good job, what he doesn't know, he does back up with the knowledge of the staff and cabinet. i'm glad he got in office. >> he's different. definitely different. what the country needed >> we spoke to breakfast mates bob and mark >> you got a lot of time left. we'll see in the next nine months. >> good thing is he's a straightforward, bad thing is he's two straightforward >> donald trump got everybody pay attention to politics >> he's working on a new ap inspired by the 2016 presidential election >> to help millenials get more involved with politics it's called be a doer >> i think some people's opinions probably changed since the election. he said he done things controversial. i can see how people's minds were changed >> i think america was always great. >> loretta jamison owns a hair salon in
6:40 pm
careful calling culpeper trump country >> i'm not sure how you can continue to who has made grandiose plans. and very little positive or concrete evidence that that's going to happen >> a sampling of opinions in a county where donald trump won 60% of the votes in virginia. in culpeper, bob barnard, fox 5 local news. >> fascinating to hear the different opinions. even our panel from b to d minus, everybody got an opinion >> certainly do. i think everybody can agree on the weather. because it is beautiful outside unless you don't have a heart, how could you not like this weather, gary mcgrady >> i've been doing this long enough to know you can't please everybody. i know. there will be people tomorrow thinking too hot or human or something like that. but look, i mean, it's coming, and there's nothing we can do about it. you might as well enjoy it. temperatures tomor

into the upper 80's. and the low 90's. tonight we watched clouds coming in. they will thicken up a little bit. we want to say there's at least a chance for shower or thunderstorm rumbling through. here's the forecast, 81 at 7:00, 77 at 9:00. maybe a showers and thunderstorms. most of this will happen overnight. planner looks good, mild middle 70's quickly warm up into the upper 80's by lunch time. there's a look at your seven-day forecast. we'll cool back again. next weekend, not as nice as this weekend. guys? >> thank you, gary. more to the warmup. . the house and the senate voted to fund the government one more week to avoid a shutdown. is it enough time to work out a new deal or will congress be in the same situation
6:44 pm
long-term deal that would fund the government through the end of the fiscal year september 30th. chistina marcos, report for the hill. what are the big issues they need to agree on and do you think it's realistic >> the leadership i saying they're on track to avoid a shutdown. the two biggest hurdles have been resolved. the administration backed away from demanding a down payment for the mexican border wall democrats have gotten assurance that is the
6:45 pm
will keep paying reimbursements. >> those issues are mostly ironed out. there are a few remaining policies that they still have to work out >> what are we going to go see over the next week as they try to avoid another possible time frame of a shutdown >> house leadership said today they're hoping that a final deal of a longer term spending package that keeps it through september, as early as monday, few days from now, today, they're close to a deal, need a few more days, weren't what is the fall-o
6:46 pm
got a 16-day government shutdown. most federal employees will be furloughed. only employees deemed essential will be ordered to return, and they allow people won't get paid as long as the government is shut down >> we haven't seen a whole lot of bipartisanship between the democrats and republicans working on other issues. i guess i'm not surprised because i don't think either side wants to see the shutdown but what do you believe, it was besides that? what he is have they didn't -- how have they bridged this when they can't seem to agree on anything else >> one thing that both parties can agree on is keeping the government's lights on. that the pretty much bear minimum we can expect at this point. but both sides agree that as we saw with the last shutdown, republicans got the blame for the most part in that fight because they're the ones demanding the obamacare be
6:47 pm
was in office. it didn't make congress look good at all >> what do you think is the one thing or more than that that will be the hurdles in order to keep pushing this forward next week? >> there are a few -- there's some policy writers. some of the stick points with regarding issues like puerto rico, health benefits for coal minors, there's a variety of policy writers. there are a variety of legislature right side in there. >> thanks for coming in. happy friday. >> it's been something president took office nce the - >> we'll take a closer look at the push to repeal and replace obamacare and the gop new healthcare plan when 5at630 continues.
6:50 pm
repeal and replace the house gop could not muster up enough votes. question is where do things stand >> adam health care reporter for politico is joining us more. where do we stand right now when it comes to they can't? >> as of now, we're in a holding pattern. at the end of the day, the republicans did not have enough to get the bill passed, they will go back next week and give it another try to get it through the chamber. >> i know the first time around, it was the freedom caucus that was the hold-out there and they just were opposed to think many members now are on board but i'm hearing some
6:51 pm
republicans are against it. what is in this new bill that is keeping everybody from getting on board >> this is the difficulty you try and get concessions to one side, you end up maybe losing votes on the other side. the main sticking point here are what they call the mac arthur amendments. one will let states opt out. insurers will charge everybody the same. one thing that states would have to do is set up what they call high risk pools or something to make sure people end up not covered at all. but it's a little bit dubious. you have the republicans worried about even more people ending up insured.
6:52 pm
talk about the preexisting conditions. is that a big sticking point for pretty much, you know, all moderates and all democrats? where are we at with that >> that's really the core issue at this point. one of the core promises, no matter what we do with the bill with repeal and replace we're going to make sure peanut butter who have preexisting conditions will be taken care of. people who drop coverage and experience a gap being covered who go insured would potentially be for having a preexisting condition once they try to get back into the market. that is a big concern. not just for democrats but also for moderate republicans >> i know the president is one ofis
6:53 pm
campaign trail was to come in and immediately repeal and replace obamacare. looks like the gop realizess into the going to work out. once they do finally get everybody on board and muster up enough votes, how likely is it to pass the senate? >> this is one of the things that has to be dealt with. now you're going to senate much more moderate, there will have to be major changes in order to get enough votes to pass it through that chamber. it's actually interesting because it's one of the argument that is people lawmakers in support of the bill have been using. they've said look no matter what you're concerns with it are, just vote for it. get it through the house and it will change in the senate. that has not convinced enough. but any bill will see a lot of reworking >> any of your sources on the hill you're talking to? kind of, you know, are
6:54 pm
thinking it's a possibility this is just not going to be able to get done? feeling like nobody will be satisfied? the latest number we have is that there are 15 republican lawmakers firm nose on this bill, not going to change their mind. there are roughly maybe 20 more who are leaning or undecided. and republicans can only afford to lose 22. so they're relatively close to getting the number. but it's going to be a little bit tough to get the gap and there's a feeling of urgency if they do not get there. if they let lawmakers go on recess go back to the districts this is just never going to end up passing and the effort -- there is a definitely a sense of urgency that leads to get this done in the next week or so. >> health reporter for politico thanks so much for joining us. >> you too. >> there's a new science infection back out, that has people

harvey: ja rule was supposed to have this big, fancy, luxurious music festival that looks like a refugee camp. >> the accommodations are actually recycled disaster relief tents. the gourmet food is two pieces of bread and two slices of cheese. harvey: this is a fraud. >> why is it a fraud? harvey: because you're promising luxury and you have refugee tents and cheese. [laughter] >> beyonce and jay-z have $80 million that they can spend on a house but they're having trouble finding a house. there's probably 40 or 50 houses at that price point in l.a. they've seen them all by now. harvey: it probably is true realtors called them up and said, i've got one for $58 million. it's a fixer.
