repeal and replace the affordable care act. anti-trump trying to make deals with the hold-outs while democrats are taking a victory lap >> as you can see this is one of the hot stories we're focusing on at 6:30. president trump are doing their best to make a deal. despite missing the deadline, republican leaders insist the deal is not dead yet. >> there was an air of resignation as president trump met with republican senators at the white house tuesday. >> this will be great if we get it done if we don't, it will willing something we don't like >> the gop isn't giving up or at the least a partial partisan of obamacare. but getting enough republican senators on board has been a challenge for mitch mcconnell >> it will just take us a little bit longer >> for democrats it will be a small victory, they l
6:32 pm
the report that said more than 20 millio americans will no longer have health insurance >> the republicans cannot excise the rotten core at the center of their healthcare bill >> they've been talking about repealing it for seven year, but conservatives admit consuling back the entitle can be almost impossible >> the reason that the left usually wins is because when you hand out goodies, since the new deal, it is extremely hard to bring them back. >> while republicans are not giving up the fundamental issue remains the same. they need to come up with plan that both conservatives and moderates can get behind >> let's bring in niles stand itch, and deputy news editor to talk about this. what is next here? where did they really go from here?
6:33 pm
>> it's difficult because it's dull to reconcile the moderate and the conservative republicn positions. that's where tension is. it's just not clear in substantial or specific terms how those positions can be reconciled >> do you think some of the hold-outs from the more conservative republicans might be the mixed messaging we're seeing from the white house, one hand they celebrated when the house passed the bill outside and everybody was excited and then later we hear the president call it mean. i think conservatives want to see a real repeal of the affordable care act and they're not seeing that with this and administration officials told axius we can expect this sort of short term deal were mortise will be getting more money in short term in exchange for long-term reforms for conservatives and i think that's the only way they could have hopes of passing this when
6:34 pm
out >> what do you think the strategy is now during this break for the president. he's kind of been in the background, is this his time to kind of move forward and try to, you know, work with the people who are holding out here? >> i was with that yesterday, sarah and what people or close to the white house tell me they won't want the president to expand or expand political capitol in the absence of a deal. he has to come in the the end if they think a deal is going to happen. but that's so unnecessary right now, that it's just not clear. someone was suggesting to me that it's important he uses the recess to try to create some kind of positive message so the republican senators don't get hit at town halls by progressives who disagree >> let's talk about a digital how much is it going to hurt the gop if they don't bring in the democrats? it's almost like they won't understanding both sides, the failures or the wins with this
6:35 pm
they both get the success or they get the failure together. alexia, are there any talks chance we could see the democrats brought in? we heard mitch mcconnell sort of using it as a threat saying we will be forced to work with chuck schumer and basically that's not what you want. and we've seen the ways in which this bill put off so many republican, we have 11 republican, nine explicitly said nominee two who have said we can't support this at the current state. mcconnell is pushing his politics and not wanting to work with schumer and i don't see them working together any time soon >> i think that's pretty much true. i don't think democrats feel they have any incentive to unpick what is president obama's signature domestic achievement and not clear republicans would offer
6:36 pm
they're trying to repeal the law and that's not something democrats will be interested >> there's group america first policies kind of working in the background for trump's agenda, are they going to be part of this push during the recess? do they have any political pull or anything at all that they could help with this. >> i think that their effort is really directed, particularly dean heller, a republican relative moderate who has said he won't vote for this bill as it stands. mortderates they just think it' counter productive to put that kind of pressure on when their imperative is to try to retain a republican majority in the senate >> are they going to get something done in the next month or is this going to be dead in the water >> administration officials also told axius that the gop is rallying to try to come up with a new policy plan by this friday to then submit to the congressional budget office to say, you
6:37 pm
july 4th and revote when we come back. but administration official also told us they know the way that congress work, if you don't make your first deadline of the first recess, then you know, the next deadline is the following recess. pushing it back further will hurt the gop and we will see if they come up with a new plan friday. if so, they will have a better chance presumably of passing, otherwise, i think they're in same predicament >> promise you guys will come back and talk to us on friday unless you're out of town for the 4th of july holiday. we'll see. a lexi and niles we appreciate you coming in. happening right now, demonstrations right now, demonstrators are attempting to form a human chain around the u.s. capitol protesting the healthcare bill, more than

6:42 pm
service. dc police out here. and there are a couple of pro trump groups we've heard, not organized, kind of cat calling as they went by for the most part, this has been orderly, peaceful. there's not been any conflict of any sort. but we will tell you that the perfect opportunity for the trump protesters they got him in this building tonight, having this fund raiser with the rnc they expect to raise several hundred million out of this, is this no small ticket event tonight, sarah and shawn. they expect to make a lot of money here and put a big dent in their bill heading into 2020. >> i guess they're kicking it off very early, fitz thank you. the lady made a point about saying how close it was to the white house. i mean, it is very close. and it is, you saw the protesters out there. so they will definitely get attention or attract attention >> and that hotel is ground
6:43 pm

kate's law aims to increase penalties associated with crimes created by illegal immigrants. ronica cleary spoke with one mom who lost her son. she's here to break down kate's law and this mother's take on it. ronica? >> reporter: shawn and sarah, laura wilkerson, we told you part of her story earlier and when other things i spoke to her about really the idea that this issue of enforcing immigration laws, maybe creating stricter immigration laws, especially against those people who are here illegally who have committed crimes.
6:47 pm
to fall down party lines between republicans and democrats. interestingly enough, when i spoke to this mother, she lost her son to a crime committed by an illegal immigrant of her son was brutally tortured, murdered and then his body was actually lit on fire after he was killed. she says that when she thinks about this issue, when she addresses this issue with the president, that she said it is not about political parties. listen to this. >> it's not about political parties. it's about safety of american citizens. and that's -- it's about public z it doesn't matter who you vote forge this is about public safety and not giving anybody a right to go to a city maybe been deported three, four times, a felony and get away and not call ice to come and get you. that's all it's about. it's not about politics. it's about, you know, public safety. >> reporter:
6:48 pm
she met with the president along with a handful of other family member whose have been affected by immigrant violence. now, the impetus for this event, tomorrow we thought it might be today, but it's tomorrow the house will vote on kate's law and the no sanctuary for criminals act. kate's law would make it more -- make -- excuse me, make penalties for stringent for those illegal immigrants who commit crimes. the no sanctuary for criminals act would basically stop funding to cities who knowingly harbor illegal immigrants, and do not pass that information along to authorities if they committed a crime. we will see if those bills pass tomorrow in the house, certainly part of the president's campaign promises, remember, his campaign promises about immigration were much bigger than building the wall along the
6:49 pm
these, that's right in part if they pass he will point to that as success >> i know a lot of times we get a feeling for which way people may vote. what are you hearing about that kate's law vote? i know there was democrats who were hesitate for some reason about voting for it. >> reporter: that's the thing the this issue falls along party lines, the things i've read is democrats may put up a bit of a fight but not a strong fight. because this is such a controversial issue and at the end of the day you're dealing with parents who have lost their children and in many cases you're talking about enforcing laws that are already on the books. i don't want to be a betting person but i think the president may have a win tomorrow. obviously, we're going to have the wait and see >> ronica cleary, thank you. people there, about the president on the cover of time magazine. n
