interview with president trump which will debut sunday on "face the nation." republican house leaders may have overcome one of the biggest roadblocks to appeal obamacare. now members of that group say they'll support a revised version of the american health care act. nancy cordes is on national hill with changes that other members might reject. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. those conservative members always get the gop plan left too many of the obamacare requirements in place, requirements that they believe drive up premiums. well, there's a new compromise that they support and that is a big breakthrough except that some moderates think it makes the bill worse. >> certainly we're down to days, not weeks. >> afteree wks of negotiations, members of the conservative freedom caucus say they're finally ready to vote yes. >> we're supporting it and the under lying
7:08 am
member who came around. >> none of us are going to be totally happy. i'm a free market guy. there's better ways to move on some of this stuff. we want the momentum to go forward, tax reform, get the budget and all that. >> this is what got him there, a new amendment. there's one that prevents insurers from jack up rates for people with pre-existing conditions. those states would be given some funds to set up high-risk pools to help cover those who no longer would be able to afford insurance. >> this is a different twist and i've got to re-examine it. >> the twist meant to appease conservatives is turning off the moderates. >> we have to help those people wronged by the affordable care act. at the same time not harm those helped by it. >> republican charlie dent has always been a know and believes this amendment violated one of the party's
7:09 am
much more expensive for them and in some cases perhaps inaccessive. >> the question is how many members will it affect. gop leaders are not sure. >> we'll see. we'll vote on it when we get the votes. >> another sticking point for several republicans i spoke to is a provision many this new plan that keeps the obamacare protections in place for members of congress and their aids. the authors say it's in there for technical reasons, gayle, but they know how it looks and they're going to try to figure out a way to work around it. >> nancy, thank you. the trump administration calls north korea a very grave threat but also says it's ready to negotiate. house members were briefed at the capitol. the u.s. says the thaad missile program will be available in a few
7:10 am
adriana diaz is in beijing with a plan to avoid a possible war. good morning to you. >> good morning. with tensions mounting here in asia, the trump administration says it wants to diffuse the situation, to try to bring pyongyang to the table. while a diplomatic solution is preferred, the u.s. strike group deployed to peninsula is only a few days away and the pentagon says it has military plans ready as a last option. secretary of state rex tillerson will make a case to further isolate north korea diplomatically on friday at the u.n. the unl announced it's sending a human rights expert for the first time to north korea next week. the question is how much they'll be allowed to see. >> adri
7:11 am
senator john mccain was at the white house yesterday. he joins us now from capitol hill. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> let me ask you this. not only were you at the briefing, but you had a series of calls with the president and you called the moment. not just because of the damage but because it sent a signal unlike previous years that america will act. what should north korea assume america will do? >> i think they should assume the united states will react forcefully. but, charlie, there's a real complication, and that is along the dmz, they have artillery and capabilities that would reach seoul, a still of 26 million people. that complicates thing dross maticly. that's why a lot of emphasis has to be on the only power that can restrain them and that's china. chinese have cut back on
7:12 am
coal supply. i was not encouraged when china came against our air defense system being in place in south korea. they have to be aware this could have a profound effect on our relations with china because if this exchange began, the north koreans very likely could range seoul with their artillery, and that could be catastrophic. >> senator, was there any indication from that meeting at the white house yesterday that military action against north korea is imminent? >> no, but it is clear, and i totally agree it can't be taken off the table but it has to be the last option. when i say last option, that's when we're convinced north korea has that capability to launch a missile that could strike
7:13 am
nuclear weapon to the united states. this person is not rational. he's not a person who can act in a rational fashion. >> what do you do with a person? >> if it were up to me, charlie, i would say a missile on the launchpad that we knew for sure had a nuclear weapon on it. i don't think we could wait to launch. we do have defensive capabilities that can intercept missiles, but to count on that alone, i think, would be very risky business. look. this is a very serious issue. very, very serious, and there's nothing with being called down to the white house to talk about it. it's also the product of three previous administration presidents that negotiated what they believed was good faith that turned out to be utterly false while
7:14 am
acquired a missile and a weapon. >> one described it as a dog and pony show. i wondered what your feelings were? >> i didn't particularly because this is my day-to-day business. i think they learned the options and the attention we're paying to it, but i don't think they could expect a specific course of action because as we just described, our courses of action would be dictated by north korean behavior. >> senator, one article about you and president trump said how trump came around to mccain on foreign policy. you had this dinner with him along with lindsey graham. what did you learn about him? what did you come away with, and did it change your mind about donald trump? >> well, i've always had respekts for office of the president of the united states. he was very cordial and we had a lot of discussion on
7:15 am
offishes. i was pleased, for example yesterday, that they did not move forward with a revocation of the north american free trade agreement known as nafta, which would have devastated the economy of my state. i don't think it's me. i think it's a person, assuming the most important job in world and understanding those responsibilities. and in the case of national security surrounding himself with some of the brightest people i've ever known and i've known many of them, charlie, and i've known them longer than you, which goes back to the coolidge administration. >> yes, it does. it's a long time. >> it's always good to see you so bright and early in morning. thank you so much. we appreciate it shah thank you. >> take care. united airlines announced new policies overnight in order to restore confidence among passengers. new guide laynes came after officers dragged a man off an overbooked united

7:17 am
prohibited from having passengers give up their seats. they can offer up to $10,000. >> united realizes their training and policy was inadequate and they're taking steps to correct that. >> the significant pledge is no longer overbooking. >> that's the crux of the problem. when planes are full, which they are now, people should be confident they'll have their reservation honored and with less overbooking it will prevent a case like this again. >> oscar munoz called it a turning point and apologized again. saying our policies got in the way of our values. >> this will help united recover. but it's going o take the airline a long time, perhaps even several years, to live town the infamy of what

7:35 am
because i thought about collectively how behind the scenes many of us have gone to the water cooler and talked about not just their plight, but the plight of other people of color at the company and how there have been remarks like, gee, kelly, if you were blond, you could probably anchor here monday through friday. comments like that really began to sting me especially when i was trying to work within the framework of the company, talking to my leader saying, look, we're better than this, we can do better than this, freechb a sound business decision, let's reach out to all people and i'm raising my hands as the only black male anchor you have right now to say put me in the game, give me opportunities to do more, and i thought we were really going to try to do that. >> your language is very strong because the lawsuit says, the color of your skin, you were, quote, effectively sidelined and asked to reform the role of a jim crow. that's very, very
