>> anderson, think about this. guys go in and the huge adjustment they have in the past is all politicians, political office. donald trump is the first guy whose never held political office to be president of the united states. one of the things i've seen and interacted with his companies before, he really figures out things quickly. he came into the new york real estate business. you probably know the background in his early 30s figured it out. went into show biz, had a 15-year career. two years ago decides he is going to run for president. defeats 15 very able candidates. the bush machine, the clinton machine. so i think he's in a figuring out period and i think we're already seeing really good things, the press needs to give him a little more latitude and the public if you look at the poll this week, the tip poll, which is the most accurate presidential poll 54% of americans say the press should go a little more easy. they are weary of the attacks on him. so -- >> appreciate both you being with us. wish we had m

. >> anderson, start with the context. republican aides knew it was not going to be a great number. they did not know it was going to be this. you hit the top lines. 14 million uninsured after the first year. by 2026, that number jumped to 24 million. those are huge issues right now. they knew it was going to be a bad number. they knew the numbers weren't going to match up perfectly well with obamacare that is a big number with very real political repercussions and very real policy repercussions. now on the positive side for republicans, there is a $337 billion decrease in the deficit based upon this bill that is important for procedure reason, anderson moving forward. but it's also important because this is what they promised they would do. this is what they campaigned on. now to the premiums. this is one of the most important elements here that you're going to hear republicans talk about a lot going forward. they're saying we don't necessarily want to promise that everybody will have care, but everybody will have access to care. in the near term, the premium numbers aren't as good

anderson?> and are you expecting when people come out of this meeting, that they're going to be, talking to reporters, are they going to be making a statement? >> reporter: we don't know. i'm trying to find out if the leader is going to make a statement. members have been tripling out, talking to us here and there, as they've been exiting, but we don't know if there's actually going to be a formal statement. it might not happen, because they'll probably run up to get this procedural vote going. da dana, thanks. a bit more now on the state of the thinking of the white house going into this. the messaging was simple. failure is not an option. >> how confident are you that the bill will pass? and if it doesn't pass, is there a plan "b"? >> there is no plan -- there's plan "a" and plan "a," we're going to get this done. we have plan "a," it's going to pass. >> you said there is only plan "a." >> right. >> at this point, is there an acknowledgement that perhaps there does need to be a plan "b" if th

the answer is anderson, they didn't. even if you don't reveal a great deal of information about what the cia is up to, even if you say for example, that you think there's an encrypted app that allows yo tow communicate with a friend securely, i saw terrorists every day who had very simplistic understandings of u.s. capabilities. had no it. no information technology capability. i fear even simple people if there's not a lot of information revealed will look at this and say, wow, i didn't understand how they could get around encrypted apps. i got to be more careful. that's what i worry about. >> wikileaks is saying as well is this doesn't just have ramifications for enemies of the u.s. even for anybody, it makes everybody more vulnerable the hackers if there are open doors into the technology we're using. the phones we use. then the cia knows about them. that can leak out and hackers can then get access. >> well, first of all, the shocking cia is engaged in espionage. i want to talk about cyber center real quickly. this is

>> reporter: they're still not backing down, anderson. you have now republicans and democrats in the house and sena senate. now you have the fbi director himself coming out and saying there's no evidence yet sean spicer did not back down. listen to what he said today in the press praefibriefing. >> he said there's no information to -- >> at this time. >> p. >> reporter: is the president prepared to withdraw that accusation -- >> no, we started a hearing, they're still on going. this is one in a series of hearings that will be happening. there's also a lot of interesting news coming out of that in terms of the activities that have gone on to reveal information of individual this been a part of this, particularly general flynn. there a lot of things that aren't being covered that are very interesting. since it's ongoing, i'll leave that for now. >> so as you heard there, anderson, not backing away from that wiretap claim but at another part in the press briefing today, they did seem to distance themselves from some of the talk about the int

anderson, i have to tell you, i'm a little surprised here.been on the republican agenda for eight years. and it would seem to me, election won, election over, that these members of congress should have gotten all of these people, the conservatives, the moderates, whatever, republicans in a room and hammered it out so that on day one this proposal was out there. that is clearly not what happened. and what further surprises me, i mean, i'm a regular listener to sean hannity's radio show. and i'm listening to the caucus saying they didn't see this stuff or get this stuff, i'm listening to speaker ryan say oh, they were all involved. that at the end of the day is a bad thing. they should have their act together. the president should step in and go with it. >> but i think they concluded they couldn't get forgotten, because there is such disagreement in the caucus. they made this decision the only way they could have any chance is just to do exactly what they're doing is putting a bill out and try to strong arm people to vote for it, because if the

failure of that dam destroys the city or damages it immensely. >> reporter: anderson filled completely up last month sending water cascading over the spillway for the first time in a decade. the water district is still pumping a ton of water out of the reservoir to lower it back down to a safe level. people who live nearby hope that worse case scenario never comes to pass. >> the dam would have to disappear in an instant for that 30-foot wall and at the most i think it would sink in parts and start washing out. >> reporter: anderson reservoir is still at 85% capacity, well above what's considered safe in the event of a major earthquake. anderson is an earthen dam basically dirt and rock and the concern is that it could liquefy and collapse upon itself in the events of a 7.2 or greater -- event of a 7.2 or greater earthquake. in morgan hill devin fehely, kpix5. >>> tomorrow the house will be voting on the new gop healthcare plan, but as of right now the plan could be in jeopardy. the latest count by cbs news shows at least 24 house republicans remain opposed because they believe the bil

so both side of the aisle had their own agendas today, ande anderson. >> pam brown, thanks. jeff zeleny is there for us where the president finished speaking a short time ago. i understand i didn't have anything directly to say about comey's testimony. >> reporter: anderson, he didn't. it was a rare moment of restraint by this president when he had a rally of some 20,000 people or so, the true believers cheering him, supporting him on, and he did not mention all the events of a consequential day in washington. now we've not seen his white house shying away from any of this is at all. sean spicer was going aggressively after the fact that there's any news in this at all. he said there simply isn't a change in this, but at the end of this day as pamela was just reporting, the fbi confirmed it's investigating him. this is the only times i can think of that the president decided to stick to that teleprompter and not go after something that clearly is hanging over them so aggressively. >> was fascinating at the white house that they basically didn't try to walk back or qualify th

congressman, it's anderson cooper, you're on the air. how will you vote on this bill, congressman? clearly having problem with the congressman's audio. gloria, it is all coming down to this, what does happen? >> well, as you were saying before, sean spicer says no plan b. i think the president will take a very close look at the people who voted for this and the people who voted against this and will remember who did that -- >> but does he expend political capital? >> the white house says they're going to move on. this is it. they're going to move on and try to do something that in fact the president has said sort of mused about maybe we should have done tax reform first and i think they're just going to move and if they can at some point come back to this, would they? yes, but you cannot over state what an embarrassment and what a problem this is not only for the president of the united states who made the decision to go first on this, because after all, every republican as you point out, campaigned on this, voted for it, a repealing of it. 50 times in the house. that they can't no

anderson? >> thanks very much.to talk about with david gergen who's been an adviser of four presidents and has seen first hand how presidents typically treat their predecessors. david, beyond breaking with tradition, is there a danger with a current president feuding with a previous one? certainly, you would want to think you could call up your predecessor for advice. there's few people who have had that job. >> absolutely. we've had what's famously known as a president's club. but who have become friends and worked together. famously, ronald reagan, when he was sworn in, the iranian hostages were released that day. and jimmy carter who had been defeated. reagan gave him air force one to go to germany and greet the hostages. carter was forever indebted for that. later when president sadat of egypt was shot, jimmy carter and president ford went together for a funeral. they became friends on that flight and worked together on a number of bipartisan issues thereafter. when the tsunami hit the pacific, you remember how

anderson, this is a critical moment right now. >> it certainly is, the house vote is expected about 3:30 p.m. i also wanted to play new sound from the freedom caucus skeptical who had in many cases refuse today back the bill. listen. >> there's a lot of emotion in the room. people feel strongly about trying to find a way to -- their convictions and looking for ways to do so. >> i haven't whipped the bill, i don't know where each of the freedom caucus votes are. mark meadows is the one keeping the head count. i can only speak for himself and i am not going to vote for this bill because i believe it's bad for america. one of the worst bills i've ever seen. >> the meeting was probably one of the most inspiring meetings i have attended in my 15 years of congress. >> reporter: why is that? >> because i stood amongst some to have greatest statesmen i've ever had the privilege to be around and to hear their heart and cause to human freedom. >> let's go to dana bash at capitol hill. you have been following this all day long, tell us about speaker ryan's meeting with president? >> reporter: we

and anderson, he did. if this tap actually took place -- and we don't know that it did -- but if it did, in the act of tweeting, president trump declassified it. >> it is a classified -- the very application -- >> look, it is very sensitive classification system. so imagine we've got a shop fbi, nsa, maybe a hundred folks in it, and you do something under fisa? there might be only three or four folks in that large shop that are actually privy to that and the collection from the fisa authorization is kept segregated from all the other collections. >> so assuming -- it seems like the president did this based on what he read on brigeitbart or what he heard on conservative radio, but assuming he did have inside information, the fact that he then tweeted it out is actually revealing classified information? >> well, it's not if he tweets it -- >> he doesn't have to first declassify it? >> he doesn't because he is the president. and what he chooses to make public is public. i said earlier today it seemed like the

>> reporter: he has not, anderson. and it's pretty interesting, because he's been speaking now for more than 25 minutes to a raucous crowd in louisville, kentucky. no mention whatsoever about the hearings that took place today in washington, and the president himself has not responded directly at all. the only response we've seen to this point has been a series of tweets from the official potus account which could have been run by anybody at the white house, where throughout the hearing they were refuting some of the claims made and also taking out of context some of the things that were said as well. as i said before, anderson, 25 minutes into this speech, no mention by the president at all about these serious accusations that were leveled this morning at that hearing. >> we should point out, the tweet we talked about was from the official potus tweet page, and they still have not corrected that tweet, even though it's been multpointed ou them, multiple times that it's not true. how has the white house responded to th

anderson. >> thanks very much.rmer trump adviser anthony scaramucci, jennifer granholm and white house beautiful chee chief phil rucker whose by line is the most vivid account of the president's latest episode. the president rages at leaks, setbacks and accusations. phil, in the piece you wrote about the president's frustration over the last week with leaks, setbacks, accusations. very well received address to congress on tuesday than seemed to the attention on than didn't last as long as the white house would have liked. you called it a perpetual state of chaos. what have you been learning from your sources? >> they're telling us that trump has been frustrated and not just by the russia situation and by what happened in the news last week but by the fact he's now entering week seven of his administration and there's still chaos. there are crises left and right. many of his own make. he's not been able to have the big signature accomplish ps he would like to have. they dropped the health care bill today. that could

>> it's a big deal, anderson. whatever the fbi director comes out with tomorrow is going to be important and in my view concerning. on the one hand if he says there is sufficient evidence for the fbi to be investigating as to whether or not the trump campaign had some sort of cooperation, perhaps collusion, the russian government, before the election, that's a significant thing. it's a very big deal. on the other hand, if he comes out and says, nope, there's nothing there, we're pretty much done, i think that's of concern as well, especially when you start lining up all the different things that are out there that sort of tie the trump campaign to the russian, whether or not it's michael flynn's activities, the russians themselves saying they had communication and contact with the trump campaign or any of the other people out there, stone, manafort, the rest of them. is it possible that's all just happenstance? i suppose it could be. so really either way it's going to be important and it's going to be concerning w
