6:30 pm
>> hello, everybody, plame game underway over who caused collapse of revised healthcare bill. president trump surprise pointing a finger at democrats and few key republicans. >> no big surprise what's we're talking about tonight at 6:0. for everything elimination we have going on if you have any thoughts give us a tweet with # 5@630. let's get to it. dispointed. very disappointed. i certainly dispointed for seven years i've been hearing repeal and re place from congress and hearing it loud and strong and when we finally get a chance to repeal and replace they don't take
6:31 pm
advantage of it i've about hearing about repeal and re place and obama car a total disaster and obamacare failing, failed, gone, so i think something will happen. we'll find out, stay tuned. >> president's marks comes of a few more republican senators would not surprise pour the gop replacement plan forcing leaders to punt. here's the one thing the take away. of course you did not see the briefing today what as off camera. sarah huckabee sanders it's on the back of the senate one would presume that would be it for obamacare. >> it would be easy to get through. if it has not been. anybody would know how hard it is to take away entitlement program and talking about millions of americans. >> what you see here is you have the party on different pages here and you see that in the
6:32 pm
extent and it was evident when you saw ted cruz come out early on kind of wet off in a couple directions there. >> let's bring in neal, did i say your name right. >> yes, you did. >> let get to if i'm one of the millions watching at home what does this mean to me. >> what we learned in the last couple minutes is that mitch mcconnell majority leader in the senate is going to call a vote next week on a what effectively is repeal of obamacare law that would be delayed for two years. so that vote will be next week even though he already appears not to have enough vote to actually pass that bill. so right now if you're somewhat at home and trying to figure
6:33 pm
happen with insurance coming into next year it probably look much the same as what you have right now obviously the cost go up and issues with bow. >> we wanted to play a sound card on what transpired today. >> american people are hurting. they need relief. and it's regretful our democratic colleagues decided early on they did not want to engage with us seriously to the process of delivering relief. but this does not have to be the eptd of story. time to move on. it's time to start oaf. rather thaming repeating this same failed, partisan process again. republicans should work with democrat on a place that lowers premiums and improves hemth care
6:34 pm
trauma of by part shanp and chuck shumer right there. it's almost like something juk seed ed there and have to be addressed if they weren't to preserve the system. >> one of the former democratic governors which is a senator joe mansion and going to try to get together with republican senators who useded to be govern norz and they're going to try to physical you're out what exactly need to be done right away. the current governors with are meeting up in providence, rhode island, over the weekend. and there were certainly things they need to see addressed and largely opposition to the bill that fell apart this week and soy think that the governor's group maybe the next group to watch. >> by the way you mentioned joe mansion
6:35 pm
>> she said she would not vote for repeal because it affect west virginia. >> what's interesting he brought her name up and two other republican women senators who said they were not on board with this which i thought was interesting when you look at it when that group of what was it 13 men got together to put this together but today we learned about these three women. what does that tell about you this? >> wellle so of it is women senator among republicans tend to be more moderate and the fact that they were not really in the conversation obviously ended up looking like a mistake the way that the votes came down. but there's also rep senators that are not necessarily worried about everything which the right and they hail from either more moderate states or very popular themselves so they're not so worried about conservative challengers coming up on their right side. >> we're out of time i want to ask you one lasts question here.
6:36 pm
we times to go on record as saying we're going to he repeal the affordable care act full knowing president obama will appeal it mow many will get cold feet. he will sign a bill if passd there may be or 10 that don't wpt to go through this now that they know the president would actually sign it. >> neal, thanks so much for joining us. pleasure having you on the show today. >> thank you. >> let's bring in fox 5 tom fitzgerald. i imagine you're getting reaction from the lawmakers from this area. what are they saying about this tonight? >> well you know you guys talked about it. there's this idea out here that somehow, some way. republicans or democrats will magically bury the match heet and get together and come up with fix for this. but to be mrunt with you, it's kind of married to see how that will happen. republicans are not even getting a long with themselves rights now. so, for them
6:37 pm
then somehow to start bringing democrats into the fold to to come up with obamacare fix, it's a little more than on the unimaginable right now. what would this look like. it has a very simple name up here on the it's called regular order. that's the kind of congress you usually see. it has hearings. it has testimony. it has town halls and it's the kind of thing how pills and legislations are formally made up here. and what we've seep over the last couple of weeks with you know these groups going inen their own party doesn't seem to like it. that is the kind of jevk fire so the democrats are saying this right now. they see this as possibly turning point. our returns want to go through this again. did they want to come up either they vot
6:38 pm
only. if that doesn't go through do they want do go through another plan b coming up. they're reaching out for returns right now and we spoke to ben carter erin maryland democratic senator chris van holland today and they said, if they can, they're reaching out right now to republicans sewing if there's any to try to get not a repeal order but a key then fixed because they want done stabilize the individual marketen people that will loss healthcare if informations on the stable now. 24 is what they had to say. >> democrats want to work with republicans to afford. >> i think you'll find there will be coop race. >> wow we're hoping some rendzing so see p
6:39 pm
improvements in healthcare. >> i auto he'll tell you this there was not a lot of football taking but a lot of i told you sos on the democratic side. they're well aware they do not want to the over play. remember, democrats did not do well in those special elections recently. and they're in the process right now of trying to figure out what their own message is right now. the bottom line is democrats seem to know that republicans are in trouble this one. and at this point, they seem content to stand back and let them deal with their own issues on this for now. >> i don't rally feel like this big kumbaya moment
6:40 pm
this big kumbaya moment. >> i covered those hearings seven years ago. we had coming gretion at hears. a lot of normal business you see up here that has not bnt case with how they craft pd senate side or house side. the president was criticizing democrats today. gut but remember he kept saying congress as many times as he said that read between the lines there. he's also calling out republicans on this and i can tell you we talked to a couple of represents today who said look we don't have a lot of plans come out of the white house at this point. they seem to be quick to criticizes what we're doing out here. they could use an assist up here on the hill for the republican white house and if they don't at some point this relationship as it stands now will not continue in the
6:41 pm
it they cut the rope and go off on their own don't be surprised what happened. >> who knew healthcare could be so hard. he's learning that for sure. tom fitzgerald thank you so much. we're learning about the controversial meeting donald trump with russian officials in 2016. >> the "washington post" identified the 8th person in the room and special council robert mueller now says it's okay for don jr. and paul man for the to testify publicly on the xhition on medaling and 2016 elections. let's bring in lexi. axios.com. a short time ago "washington post" is reporting that second previously undisclosed meeting with the russian president at the g 20 summit in germany i understand it was an hour. we know about the first meeting two hours and second meeting one hour and only person in the room was translator i'm sure we'll hear more about tha
6:42 pm
forward. >> as we look at the subject at hand tonight. what's new in this investigation and where are we at this point as we move forward. >> so as you previously mentioned it's now known that there are eight people in this room with trump jr. during the meeting which you know, it's now becoming a clown car meeting like how many people you can fit into the room that we suddenly don't know about and then are learn about over time. and you know, i think having more people in the room than previously known is news. the real news is that it is now on the record that bob muller is investigating trump jr.'s meeting. he called the eighth person's lawyer over the weekend and said would he be willing to answer questions and be interest vurd and he's willing to cooperate and that's the first indication we have he is investigating trump jr.'s meeting which is a big deal. >> what do we know about this eighth person and should this be something eyebrows are raised about or the fact we did not know about it until now. >> he has ties to -- he's
6:43 pm
firm that is owned by two of the men who are in the meeting as well and who have close ties to put inin kremlin. he is rush ran and u.s. citizen and i think win thing to note that may have gone overlooked is in 2000 he was president of company in del dem and it was under congressional investigation for russian foreigners living in u.s. laundering money illegally for u.s. banks through russia. he was never charged with anything. lawyer maintains he was never indicted or there was no indication of wrong doing just the fact he has close ties to the kremlin and was in thiset monthing and there's multiple russia brobz going on to trump and close associates with problematic. white house has had optics issue with trump since inception as president and having lack of transparency is mind boggling when there's so many investigations going on. >> i'm sorry lexi -- i want to ask you your tail
6:44 pm
breaking wuz we were getting finding out that the president had this other meeting we didn't know about until just now. >> well, rights, i obviously cannot speak on the spevrksz until axis confirms the details but it's problematic about their first meeting which lasted two hours and 16 minutes after it was supposed to be 0 minute and i think it goes down to a lack of transparency. trance paerpsy issue with donald trump jr. not disclosing folks. it's him meeting russia's vladimir putin when he knows close ties are investigated. >> trump outside lawyers are asking him or advising him to keep a distance a sort of wall between himself and jared kushner his son-in-law. that speaks volumes to how legal council counsel counsel views all ties to russia. it seems more harm than good and it's just as confusing where he would do that and not disclose it. >> tnk
6:45 pm
it's always a pleasure. >> tat drip, drip continues. >> let's talk well we can go from that drip drip to the drip drip outside, it's called a bad transition. darp it i will own it sue palka is standing by with what has been a pretty rainy afternoon around the dmv. >> i thought it was brilliant transition i would like to hire you. >> sue is always encouraging you. >> you certainly don't have enough to do. that's what i think. i'm teasing, you are right, jim, a few thunderstorms this afternoon and evening and some of which had heavy downpours winding down and with peak heating of the day we'll lose a lot of those. what we can't ditch quickly is second heave way of july and crazy humidity. it will be round all week and looks like it may now rival what we experienced around here last week. it will be humid overnight. tropicily humid in fact. difficult to cool off. hot start tomorrow morning and peak this heat wave looks to be thursday, friday, and
6:46 pm
saturday when the air temperature could be close to 98 and heat index about 105 which means we probably head back to heat index -- heat advisory territory when the heat index gets to 105ment thunderstorm chance increase during the weekend. quite isolated tomorrow and we'll take a break on thursday, friday, but again around into the weekends and quick check of radar tracking out of the picture and we have one to western loudoun country and we gradual diminish as we go through the next hour or so. that's a peek at the forecast i send it back over to shawn and jim. >> thank you, sue, the president golf game could quick voters and others off the section of the po toe make. we'll talk about that more when 5@630 comes back.

6:51 pm
access points to get on the river. i asked if she had the opportunity what she would like to say to the president about this. >> honestly other presidents have played golf at andrews air force base where they have a nice big golf course perfectly protected and other military bases in the area. an dries is a short helicopter ride from the white house. easier to get to than your golf course in sterling, virginia. don't play at an -- go play at andrews please and let us have our river. >> the coastguard reised to our request for comment and this is the statement they issued. we understand there may be concerns about access to the water way from the boating public when this security zone is in effect. the comment period. is open until august 9 and we encourage mechanics of the public to use this opportunity to make concerns known so we can address them prior to final decision. now, susan, who you heard from u. she said if you like to
