we have people with planned parenthood and other type activis activists galvanized and haven't seen theighest kind of recruitment as well as donations. donald trump signed the order quietly and very atypical of donald trump, he didn't brag about it. i think this will have its effect in the election cycle. the fact they are letting states opt in or opt out tells you a lot that they were afraid no go the full bore. this is still a problem. but you know, this issue is not going away. people are very animated. again, not an abortion issue. this is an organization that provides, you know, life-changing screenings for women and sometimes are the only type of medical services and or preventative pregnancy service he as well as std services that are found in many of our small and poor communities. and it's unfortunate that donald trump doesn't even listen to his own party, at least the republicans voters who also disagree with defunding at least in some point, disagree with defunding planned parenthood. >> many of his followers want to do that too, though. there is a rallying call for many of t

majority on those things instead of a super majori, 60 votes or higher, then that makes these partisan activi activitie activities. now senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer on "meet the press" on sunday, chuck todd asked them is the legislative filibuster the last thing that needs 60 votes going to be the next thing to go down. both of them said no way. but i think all of the momentum, everything that we've seen, it's a mat are of when, when you end up having a mere majority instead of the 60-vote flesh hold. >> it's that exact slippery slope argument that we talked about with senator dick durbin. we're going to have that in just a couple of minutes. but i want to head over to kristen welker at the white house. a lot of this resolved around president trump looking for a win at capitol hill. what is the administration telling senators when it comes to going nuclear to get judge gorsuch on the bench. >> reporter: breaking news here at the white house. we just learned that president trump has been briefed on attacks in russia. they're monitoring that situation closely and we'
