back to you, alisyn. >> pamela, so much to parse in this 11-page statement. thank you for diving in and analyzing all that for us. there are mixed messages from the white house on whether the president supports another big story, event that will be happening this week, the bipartisan bill in congress that would punish russia for interfering in the election. cnn's joe johns is live at the white house with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. you know it was recently, not long ago that the white house was lobbying against that bill to punish russia for meddling in the last election. now there's pressure mounting on capitol hill to do something which could mean the president is going to find himself in a no-win situation, all this when the newly retooled communications team here at the white house went out to talk about it over the weekend with more mixed messaging. president trump's new communications team offering muddled messaging about whether the president supports a bill that would limit his ability to unilaterally lift sanctions on moscow. newly

so where are you left, alisyn?e left where the last three administrations have been, diplomacy, sanctions and perhaps bucking up the defenses of ourselves and our friends in the region. that's where we are. >> general, can i ask you a question? do you think king jong-un and to a lesser extent vladimir putin and other leaders around the world are watching what's going on in the united states, the chaos that has existed in the west wing over the last week specifically and longer in some instances, seeing that as something they can take advantage of? >> i think that could apply to putin more thanking jong-un. putin is a clever tactician, even though he may have strategic weaknesses. for kim jong-un, john, i think this is inevitable logic for the survival of the north korean regime. they don't seem to pay attention, don't seem to respond. no, they know what they have to do. i think the course is set. we can moderate it. we can slow it, perhaps we can even cap it but these guys are going to be a nuclear power. >> here i

let me take a step back, alisyn.olitics, if i meet with -- whether it's a citizen or a non-citizen and they give me information or an idea or talk about policy, there's nothing wrong with that. that's not a crime. so to have a potential meeting where this source might give you evidence that the dnc was taking money from russia or hillary clinton was committing a crime, and then once you find out this is a bogus meeting and after 20 minutes you kick them out of the office, i have no problem with what don junior did. and i don't think any prosecutor would either. >> the fact it was a hostile foreign power, does that change it for you? >> hostile foreign power? what does that mean? do we say you can take information from non-hostile foreign powers. i remember looking at barack obama when he said to mitt romney, the 1980s want their foreign policy back, showing love to the russians, hillary clinton with the reset button. the ones who have loved the russians have been the democrats. to now say when obama was there they we

>> good morning, alisyn. it's going to be wheels up in about an hour or so and the first stop the president is going to be making is in poland. a 15-hour stop before germany for the g-20 summit where issues like immigration and trade, as well as climate change and u.s./russian relations will be prominent, but also in light of north korea's missile launch, this meeting and these meetings and this trip take on a new significance. president trump departing on his second international tour, one day after the pentagon confirmed that north korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. one that analysts say could reach alas sa. north korean dictator kim jong-un, taunting the united states, saying the launch was a fourth of july present to the trump administration. as the u.s. responds with both a military and diplomatic show of force, calling for an emergency session at the united nations security council to be held today. followed by a strongly worded statement from secretary of state rex tillerson, stressi

i don't want to do that, alisyn. >> let me be clear. that's where you think all this is headed, where you think the questions about russian collusion and whether or not russia meddled, you would like to see it in terms of what hillary clinton may have done. you don't think there's anything to see with the current trump white house, is that what you're saying? >> i don't know whether there is or isn't. i've not seen that yet. what i'm saying is the comey investigation, now him picking the special counsel on top of it, on its face, appears to be collusion. if these things that don't have -- >> what do you mean the comey investigation appears to be collusion. what do you mean? >> well, hillary was under investigation. we all know that. they interviewed her in a secret room somewhere. i have questioned both loretta lynch and james comey under oath before the judiciary committee and here is what i learned, there were no notes taken in that interview, she was not sworn under oath, no audiotape, no video tape and they won't release the names o

it's not fair to anybody, alisyn.lephone town hall last week. 80% of the people on that town hall regardless of what side of the issue they were on with the affordable care act -- >> their seven-year effort of trying to repeal and replace came to an end last week. there was no consensus. you can't get all 51 that you're calling for to all agree on what the way forward is. so now what? >> they're going to have to just do a process of sitting down, working through where they can get this gang of 51 to agree on something, send it to the house so we can fulfill a promise and be fair to the american people that are stuck in the affordable care act system or who have insurance that is too specific to use and deductibles to high to seek access to care. >> very quickly about russia. how would you like president trump respond to putin now that putin is cutting u.s. diplomatic staff? >> i want him to continue to be firm with russia. sending in the 59 tomahawk missiles in that syrian attack was the appropriate thing to do. doing

i mean, there's no other way to put it, alisyn.ere's been extensive studies done, not one, not partisan, extensive studies done of elections and alleged voter fraud and the simple fact is, is that to the extend they found mistakes they're almost always, 99.99% of the time attributable to human error, that there is no malicious intent here. this has been something that republicans talked about before donald trump, but it is something that donald trump, and this is true with a lot of things, donald trump has brought more light to, the 3 million to 5 million people that voted illegally, the claim that is not factually accurate in the 2016 election, so again, this is -- there is -- it is important to note this, there has never been a study that has suggested there is widespread voter fraud in elections. there just hasn't. . when you have hundreds of millions of votes cast, there are going to be some errors. you know, 65, 70 million votes, there's going to be errors here, a ballot -- series of ballots are misread, things are left out, b

>> well, as we heard earlier on the show, alisyn, u.s. are already strained or becoming increasingly strained. the chinese have reacted very badly to the fact that the u.s. is selling $1.4 billion of arms to thai juan, the u.s. naval warship in the disputed waters in the south china sea, the u.s. went after a chinese bank which had dealings with north korea. these are all brought up by the chinese president xi jinping as far as we're aware in that conversation with donald trump, a little more than 24 hours ago. as far as leverage from the u.s. president on a personal basis with the chinese president, it's getting more and more difficult because the relationship is widening rather than getting closer. >> the g20 will be fascinating with all the leaders in the same room at the same time. thank you so much for being with us. appreciate it. >>> up next, isis on the run. u.s.-backed forces close to driving the terrorists out of two key cities. how intense were the battles right now? we'll speak to a top ranking member of the u.s. anti-isis coa

>> alisyn, i think he'll sign it. i think he'll sign it because if he, in this political atmosphere vetoed a bill that appeared to be part of an effort by the white house to somehow protect the russians from additional sanctions, you can imagine the outcry, and the veto would probably be overridden. this vote in the senate, 98-2. the house has nat taken this up yet. the second thing i think you need to remember about this is this is a significant setback for both president trump and for vladimir putin, both of whom overplayed their hands here by denying the intelligence so consistently, even after he has been presented with everything you saw those intelligence chiefs you saw speaking at aspen last week said. he is only fueling this movement because it looks like he is denying the realities of what's put in front of him. putin made the mistake, too, because at the moment last summer when he moved this from a sort of traditional surveillance operation into the campaigns into an influence operation in an effort to chang

some day you will let alisyn interview me, at least once. >> alisyn has interviewed you. >> that's actually a joke. >> i hope it's not a joke. i look forward to interviewing you anthony. >> i'm throwing that in here alisyn because he dominates all these segments. >> thank you, anthony. i know you had your own agreement and i honored that, you had an agreement that you worked out. i look forward to the next time you come on. >> that's a deal. >> thank you for honoring it. anybody can measure this conversation, you did most of the talking as you should because this is about you making your case. i'm tell you what, i respect the intentions that you state, anthony, which is you're going to treat people with civility and decency. it will be a welcome change in the dynamic. >> i think you can ask your journalists there from your shop, that's exactly what we're trying to do. >> it will be a welcome change. >> i appreciate it, sir. you guys have a good day. >> you, too. >> you, too, anthony. fascinating stuff to dive into. on the phone with us still is ryan lizza who is the reporter we were talking

alisyn, chris? >> thanks so much. let's bring our panel, david gregory, cnn politics reporter and editor at large clils slhri cillizza and john avalon. john, it was senator bob corker of tennessee who says they're ente entering a wild west phase on the health care vote. they have a series of votes and who knows what happens next? >> yes, that's a pretty cool way to describe total chaos. this is pretty unprecedented. here we are talking a major bill, a seven-year priority and yet republicans today are embracing and advancing the idea they criticized rightly nancy pelosi for. you have to vote on the bill to know what's in it. no one is sure exactly what's going to be put forward today other than do the repeal not replace first and then let's see how many amendments we can tack on the donkey. >> david, what do you make in terms of the situation of the urgency done when you don't know what they are? >> it's interesting the specter of the president shaming his party. this is really, you see all the divisions in the republi

alisyn? >> suzanne, thank you very much for that. the russian lawyer who met with donald trump, junior, is speaking about about their meeting. she has a different take on what happened. cnn's matthew chance is live in moscow with more. what are you learning, matthew? >> reporter: that's right. we've reached out to natalia, the name of the lawyer, i'm caded in this who had the meeting in trump tower with donald trump, junior and paul manafort and jared kushner. we're hoping to get the report to you later today. she told "the new york times" that whatever was discussed, it was nothing to do with the presidential campaign. she said she's not a representative of the russian government, in fact, never represented the russian government in court and she's never even discussed the issues that she was talking to those three members of the trump campaign about with the russian government. so she's sort of categorically denying any suggestion that this is an example of the trump team, as they prepare to go into that election campaign in the un

. >>> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." it is monday, july 3rd, 6:00 here in new york. chris is off this morning. john berman is with us. >> like independence day eve. >> yes, it is. and we will be celebrating it all morning long. here's your starting line. president trump escalating his war on the media, targeting cnn in a tweet that many leaders call juvenile at best. other members of the gop are simply speechless. at the same time the president is preparing for his first face-to-face meeting with russian president vladimir putin. sources tell cnn that syria and ukraine will be on the agenda, but no plans at the moment to bring up russia's interference in the u.s. election. >> president trump working the phones ahead of this week's g-20 summit in germany, reaching out to world leaders about the north korean nuclear threat and fighting terrorism. all this as 29 states balk at a controversial white house request for the personal data of every registered american voter.

the concern i have, alisyn is what happens now.d this morning, let obamacare implode. and he has considerable leverage to make that happen. and to continue to disrupt these markets. and if that happens and the congress doesn't act, a lot of people will suffer. so, i don't think the saga is over. but this was obviously a big moment. >> well, look. the president's tweet about this. takes us back to what the problem is. you had a demonstrable back of leadership. you can point your finger at mcconnell, at the president, at both. but, when the president says let it implode. what does that show? one, a fundamental incensetivity to humanity. two, it shows a lack of knowledge of what's going on with the a kr. a becau aca. it may fail if you pull rt subsidies and continue to diminish confidence among insures. the then reince priebus, who i wouldn't characterize as under siege as much as being a siege-or. did accomplish to getting paul ryan to be quiet in terms of criticizing the president. but he's had months. he wasn't trump's guy. he was

it's good to be on your show, chris and alisyn. thank you for the invitation. i look forward to focusing on public policy issues. our prayers are with steve scalise and his family. >> strong then, strong now and equally committed to the people. i can't imagine congress would dare leave washington without a beautiful new health care bill fully approved and ready to go. do you think that's possible? >> it's possible that the senate will do its job, do something on health care and send it to the house of representatives where we would either reject it and move to a conference committee or accept it. but the indications are right now that the senate is mightily struggling to come up with a plan to properly deal with the health care issue in front of us. >> if the cbo score comes out and once again shows that what's being seen as tax savings will wind up leaving millions of people off the medicaid roles at some point, whether it's now, five years or seven years, do you think that is a death sentence for this bill? >> well, it is with some senators and not with other

alisyn? >> let's bring in the panel. cnn politics reporter brit, david drucker and author of "nuclear showdown: north korea takes on the world," gordon chang. gordon, the president choosing to tweet about this situation going on. with we have the tweet or not, this time the president saying, well, china, north korea, trade grew by almost 40% first quarter, so much for china working with us, but we had to give it a try. we had republican congressman lee zeldin on the show. i said is it as simple as this? he said no. is it a problem doing diplomacy by tweet? this is a bit of a hole the president put himself in. >> this particular tweet not so bad but with ton just after the missile launch was terrible. it was lighthearted saying kim jong-un doesn't have anything better to do. we have to remember on the first of this year kim jong-un said he would test an icbm. on january 2nd, trump said it suspect going to happen. so it was really wrong for trump on sunday to say this doesn't matter because it does. it also undercuts some

alisyn, chris? >> we have david gregory, chris cillizza and cnn political commentator errol louis. how did they lose moran, who was supposed to be the safer part, those who wanted the health care bill on the basis of the cuts. reminded me of a story you'll love because you're a master of new york politics. i went to my diary, two italians, my father and ralph moreno, head of the new york state legislature at one time, having a dinner like the one last night trying to finish a deal. i remember my father putting his hands over his ears "ralph i don't want to hear it, don't say it." it was the reminder of the power of the false promise in politics. what happened here, errol to our understanding is the cuts that were so important to people like leigh and johnson and portman, these fiscal hawks, the word got out that well, they may not go into effect, which was a deal to make the people who were worried about medicaid expansion okay about the cuts. they may never go in effect and this may be a tale of the false promise that the word got out that these cuts that are so important to so ma

alisyn?at is really valuable that they're beginning to look at all this and try to get answers. thank you very much. so what drives president trump's tweets? we'll look at his social media habit and the patterns it reveals and what all that tells us next. ray's always been different. last year, he said he was going to dig a hole to china. at&t is working with farmers to improve irrigation techniques. remote moisture sensors use a reliable network to tell them when and where to water. so that farmers like ray can compete in big ways. china. oh ... he got there. that's the power of and. >>> president trump and twitter. he loves it. the public and fellow politicians often do not. the president calls his tweeting modern day presidential, an effective way to reach his supporters directly. let's be honest, the way to go around those who check him like us. more than 34 million followers. since taking office, he's tweeted nearly a thousand times. what do we see in this? most of them, the timing is re

alisyn, chris? >> jason, thank you very much for all that background. let's bring in cnn political director david chalian, cnn senior analyst jeffrey toobin and cnn legal analyst david gregory. on the front page of "the new york times," "the washington post," reporting on what's going on inside the white house as they try to deal with all this breaking news. the reports are there's a lot of suspicion among staffers and the president's top people about who is giving information to "the times" and "the washington post." you can imagine the climate inside as they try to deal with all this. >> there are two threats to the psychology inside the west wing, one is just that, looking around and saying who is leaking this stuff, and is family turning on family? is every advisor sort of in for himself? there's no sort of sense of a real alliance. that's one thing affecting the psychology there. the other thing is, the president, who remains completely consumed by this story line and, therefore, not advancing an agenda elsewhere. >> how can he not be consumed, whe

give us the latest there. >> good morning, alisyn.ged in a twitter storm, if you will, four tweets this morning about this issue trying to salvage he's going to be back at his desk with pen in hand. republicans have to deliver on this promise. we've heard president trump aboard air force one expressing appreciation for the difficult testify of getting this passed. he said, and i'm quoting, he said it's the only thing more difficult than peace between palestinians and the health care is this narrow road about a quarter of an inch wide, you get a couple here, lost four over here. health care is tough. of course, health care is stuff, trying to bridge conservatives and moderates of his own party. here are some of the highlights to try to make both sides happy. an option for cheaper plans, but fewer benefits, the ted cruz amendment, an odd to conservatives, provision to allow people to use their health savings accounts for their premiums, that is not allowed in the law, $45 billion boosed for opioid addiction treatment. no significant cha

>> reporter: good morning, alisyn. this is rough stuff, harsh public criticism from the president and the attorney general's chief of staff sending a signal that he's not going anywhere. mean while, the strong base of conservative support that jeff sessions built during his years in the senate apparently standing up for him. >> i am disappointed in this attorney general. he should not have recused himself. >> reporter: president trump intensifying his public attacks on his embattled attorney general jeff sessions. >> i want the attorney general to be much tougher on the leaks from intelligence agencies. >> reporter: accusing him of not cracking down hard enough on leakers, disparaging sessions as weak. the president refusing to say if he'll fire his earliest and most loyal supporter, despite senior white house officials urging him to stand down. >> we will see what happens. time will tell. time will tell. >> make america great again. >> reporter: the president now questioning the reason sessions backed him, citing his

alisyn, john? my gosh, jean, what a fascinating display of everything -- all the different personalities and comments yesterday. a lot to discuss, john. >> all right, let's brick ng in cnn's best legal mans, mark geragos, paul cowan, and jeffrey toobin. mark, i want to start with you here. you were saying during this hearing and before that parole was essentially a legal slam dunk. why? >> well, because they an evaluation. in fact, they kind of predicted it, if you will, where they do what's called a risk assessment. and there's a bunch of factors. it's the age, it's the prior convictions or lack of prior convictions, things of that nature. and when they did that, he comes out at the lowest end of the scale. and then you combine that, even though it's with the severity of the crime, with the fact that this is a case that the prosecutors offered 2 1/2 years, and he rolled the dice basically, and he got tax, tip, and service charge of over nine years. and i thought that this was going to be a legal s

but like any plan, alisyn, the devil's in the details, in the fine print. and there is a lot of pain still in that fine print, most especially, yes, the president did safe about 730 manufacturing jobs, not quite 1,100, but the problem is the company is still allowed to lay people off, a lot of people. 600 will lose their jobs this year. the first 300 will start losing their jobs today. these are the jobs the president was not table to save, so it's a bittersweet time. people are glad for what the president did, but chuck jones, the former union head who's bumped heads with the president before says this president has not lived up to the promises he made to bad lulue collar worker. >> overall for the working man, do you think the president has lived up to the promises that he made? >> no, winot at all. not at all. everything still crataters to t rich people. and we're getting dealt out again. he campaigned on middle class, working class people. and i don't see where he's delivered at all. >> reporter: those first layoffs begin in just a matter of hours. the

john and alisyn, back to you. >> we will have dr. sanjay gupta on our show later in the program to help us understand what senator mccain is going through and what the prognosis is. let's bring in our panel to discuss all this. we have cnn political analyst john avlon, realclearpolitics' amy stoddard and "the washington post's" car reason demirjian. >> give us perspective, john, on the abc poll that finds president trump at 36% approval. >> it is an unprecedented low in the history of polling. no president has been this low. people closest are people like gerald ford. major reason for that is he pardons richard nixon. that's the kinds of contemporary political baggage we're dealing with. bill clinton, also, this may be the most instructive parallel, really gets creamed in the public poll numbers, particularly low at the five-month mark. he brings in david goering ginn, fellow cnn analyst, a member of the reagan administration, nixon administration to try to steady the ship. he eventually subs out his chief of staff in favor of leon p

>> i tell you what, alisyn, i was watching that live.vin durant found that funny whatsoever. i think his face is actually what made it funnier for everyone else. >> i agree. he was really humor impaired. >> i'm with conspiracy. i think he was in on it which is why he covered his mouth. >> this is to prevent him from laughing? >> it was still hilarious. >> i don't know. he seemed very grumpy. >> i think there was collusion. >> i think it's a sore subject. i think he was legitimately not happy. >> get to the bottom of that, andy. >> i'll try. >>> theme president and the whi house responding to the latest russia allegations by blaming hillary clinton and the democratic party. why? insiders on both sides have their theories. they're here next. i'm karen, i'm a teacher.olfer. my psoriatic arthritis caused joint pain. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of existing joint damage that could only get worse. he prescribed enbrel to help relieve

chris, alisyn? >> jason, appreciate it. >> we have this spectrum of concern. you have tim kaine on this side which is this listing of possible legal categories very far down the road. then you have the sebastian gorka, this unique world of nothing inappropriate. that tells you more about what mr. gorka finds appropriate than it does about reality. there's no question that this was inappropriate behavior. donald junior admitted as much saying he would have done it differently, he would bring in authorities next time and with good reason. let's discuss how much of a concern it should be. we've got associate editor and columnist for realclearpolitics, a.b. stoddard, cnn political analyst david gregory and cnn senior analyst jeffrey toobin. jeffrey toobin, let's start with you. correct the assertion if you disagree, talking about categories of illegality to me seems very far down the road. inappropriate certainly, but illegal, that seems very advanced as an analysis. you? >> well, i basically agree with that. certainly i think it is completely inappropriate and ju

>> reporter: good morning, alisyn. we're certainly set up for a dramatic next 24 hours, a conclusion of the senate debate coming soon. if there's one thing we learned over the last 48 hours, it's that republicans definitively cannot agree on a repeal and replacement plan. we saw this a couple nights ago, falling well short, nine republicans voting against it. the repeal-only option, an amendment that would cut back large swaths of obamacare, that fell short. seven republicans voting against that. where does that leave us now? well, the alternative that republicans are starting to coalesce around, the idea the republican leaders are pushing, as you noted, call the skinny repeal. essentially what it is, a very paired-back repeal of three key elements of obamacare, the individual mandate, the employer mandate and the medical device tax. this is something all republicans agree they dislike. that's the key element here. they're trying to find something everybody can agree on. do republican leaders want this to be the final

and alisyn and i have felt the bite of personal comments from power as well. but we still do the job and we do it the right way because that's what matters more. so let's do that right now instead of talking about doing it. >> go ahead. >> these tweets seem to indicate a problem that didn't start today. i'm not talking about the leaking. it is well known, anthony scaramucci, that reince priebus was against you getting a job in the administration. you've talked about it privately with reporters, he has denied it, but there are tons of reports that that denial is hollow. and when you named him in the tweet, it seems to call that. where is your head on that situation? what do you believe the reality to be? because it seems much more like cane and able rather than two brothers that can get along. >> here's what i know. when you're running a successful company or an organization, you can take this human equation to the bank. underconfidence plus insecurity always equals paranoia and back stabbing. so what you have to do as a manager is you have to go through the pr

. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. this is a setback for the president and this white house which has struggled to show they could get big things done legislatively with republicans in control of both houses of congress. the president took to twitter not long after that bill failed writing three republicans and 48 democrats let the american people down. as i said from the beginning, let me obamacare implode, then deal. watch. that tweet telegraphing the president's strategy of publicly blaming and shaming those republicans who blocked this effort, but also highlighting something we've heard from the president for months now, this idea that obamacare should be allowed to implode or explode or collapse, whatever word you want to use. that, of course, would have wide ranging implications for a lot of people. as we heard in that earlier piece, it was arizona senator john mccain who cast the third no vote, this despite the president seeking with senator mccain, trying to lobby him in a last-minute phone call on the floor as

john, alisyn? >> suzanne, thank you very much for all of that background. let's discuss it with our panel, david drugger, cnn political analyst and correspondent for the washington examiner, jeff mason for reuters and the president of the white house correspondents association, and carun demergon. let's talk about what the president is doing here with retweeting things like this and continuing, even es ska lating his battle with the media. i read you said he believes that fighting with the press furthers his political agenda. how is that going? is that working? >> well, his legislative agenda and his political agenda should be the same, but i think they're two different things. i think from the president's point of view, these are the kinds of attacks that worked for him to establish himself as a republican leader. we often talk, alisyn, about how attacking the media, trying to undermine the media furthers his connection to his very loyal base and keeps them immune from criticism of the president because if you can't trust the coverage, then there is never

. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> we want to welcome our viewers. it is monday july 17, chris is off, john berman joining us. >> happy monday. >> here is our on starting line. new poll shows the president's approval rating hitting a record low. the abc news "washington post" poll finds just 36% approve of the president's job performance. that is the lowest six month approval rating of any president in seven decades. president trump remains defiant in the face of the latest russia revelations s unleashing tweets defending his son and attacking the media. and now the secret service is refuting one of the claims made by the trump team. >>> and the white house trying to get everyone's attention back to the president's agenda. they are announcing new theme weeks beginning this week with made in america week. that is what they are calling it. will any of this change the political situation for them however. one of the president's key promises to repeal and replace obamacare facing a new set back. the senate has delayed a vote on the latest health care pla

. >>> coming up on "new day," alisyn camerota joins us. >> great to see you.this mysterious tweet that the new white house communications director, anthony scaramucci, sent out after 10:00 p.m. last night that seemed to suggest that he thinks that reince priebus is behind the white house leaks. so we have some experts on who is new information. they will share, and we will try to figure out what's going on inside the white house. >>> also, we're going to have on shane ortega. he is the first openly transgender soldier in the u.s. military. he will be on to share his feelings and thoughts when he saw the president's tweets about banning transgender soldiers from the military. it's a big show. we will see you in 12 minutes. >> happy american heroes week. >> you, too. thank you very much. >>> stocks have never been higher. all three major indices hitting records. we'll tell you why on cnn "money stream" next. happening now? softly-shaped bold brows. new brow drama shaping powder from maybelline new york. our 1st brow powder! color and shape for softly-defined, bo

>> no, i don't think so, alisyn. they're there forever because they're north korea's prime benefactor. everything commercial north korea does, everything military north korea does somehow there's a chinese connection to it. in the past the chinese were avid supporters of north korea. now that relationship has cooled, but they have it in their interest to keep north korea as stable as possible, because they don't want any type of implosion in north korea, and they certainly don't want a german style reunification of the korean peninsula. it's in china's interest to keep north korea where that is. if that means a few weapons tests here and there, they will basically allow those to happen. >> colonel, make us behind the scenes with what military analysts are doing, trying to determine whether this was an intermediate range missile or intercontinental ballistic missile. how do they determine that and why is that distinction important? >> the distinction is important, john, because if it's an intercontinental ballistic mi

>> reporter: good morning, alisyn. we're just four hours away from receiving the latest version of that repeal and replace obamacare bill. already two republicans are not happy with it. conservative senator rand paul says that this is even worse than the previous bill. it does not go far enough in repealing obamacare because of taxes, subsidies and regulations. senator suzanne collins, a moderate from maine, says it goes too far because of the cuts to medicaid. at the same time we have vice president mike pence making an on core appearance on the hill. he's been wining and dining senators, taking them horseback riding, he's been central in pushing forward this version of the health care bill. at the same time the president playing a low-key role if you will in this version of negotiations, but at the same time warning senators what this will cost? >> i am sitting in the oval office with a pen in hand waiting for our senators to give it to me. >> what will happen if they don't? >> i don't even want to talk about it beca

second, because alisyn, as you know, all information all the time means you miss some things.t's just hard to see everything that is out there. but i do think what you're seeing here is classic donald trump misdirection. taking a story which is the white house donald trump met with the russian president with no other -- or huddled with or had a sidebar with -- choose your word -- at the g20 summit with no u.s. translate every or other u.s. official present. we didn't know about it for ten days, and now donald trump is trying to turn it into a media story, that the media is sick and we're twisting things around. it's not a media story. it's about a story about a meeting we didn't know about prior with a foreign adversary that we know through our intelligence agencies meddled in the 2016 election. the fact that the media is reporting on it is what we do. the fact that donald trump is changing the subject will work for a certain segment of people but that doesn't change the facts. the facts are clear. >> what is fueling it is the unknown. why do we care about the meeting with put
