we're not going to bret baier in washington with more. bret, your take. >> we saw some of this in the cards as we saw the back and forth with anthony scaramucci and reince priebus and privately senior officials are saying priebus' days have been numbered and they have been numbered to 1. you have general john kelly, the secretary of homeland security and will leave that post at dhs and will take on perhaps a more tumultuous job at the moment, chief of staff at the white house, trying to steer the white house in a way that the president wants. obviously president trump has been a proponent of pulling in generals and using former military men as key figures in his administration. kelly is top on the list. the former commander of u.s. southern command and then a secretary of homeland security who is not shied away from using blunt language in pursuing immigration policies that president trump has wanted along the border. it will be interested to see what happens at dhs as they move forward, a major shakeup. reince priebus, the former head of

special "special report with bret baier" is next, and it's so good. >> bret: senate republicans waved the white flag on obamacare repeal and replace. president trump says let obamacare failed. so where do congressional republicans go from here if they can't get consensus on just repealing obamacare? this is special report. good evening, welcome to washington, i am bret baier. apparently failure is an option for it after seven years of promising to get rid of obama's legacy, health care law, congressional republicans are back to an increasingly empty drawing board tonight. trump and the top senate republicans are now pushing for a straight repeal with no immediate replace, but a two-year delay before it is killed to get something else ironed out. but even that seems unlikely based on an early head count in the g.o.p. caucus tonight. but many lawmakers just want to move on to the budget, tax reform, and eventually infrastructure. in the box team coverage tonigh tonight, for on capitol hill with what happened today. peter also on the hill was for the g.o.p. may go from here. we start out

here is bret baier, "special report" host. look, you know, normal washington chaos.say this break, this pause in the action on health care while we wait for senator mccain to cover do you think it is good or bad for chances getting the bill done? >> i don't think it is helpful. by the way i don't think that protest is big deal at all. there are a few, 10 people up there. they're making arrests outside of the office. it is rather common occurrence in the halls there in the senate. melissa: looks orderly. >> but i do think more time doesn't help the process per se. what has not been covered two republicans are definite nos. rand paul, susan collins. there were a dozen senators definitely no on the first version. there are some who have concerns but there is thought perhaps they could come around, if given a binary choice of either obamacare as it is now, or this new, you know republican version and then a continued promise to keep on working to make it better under the republican guidelines which is a more market-based approach obviously. melissa: what does that look l

i asked the same question to bret baier. at what point do you think they will get back to discussing repeal and replace of obamacare? >> as i set out earlier, there is a much two items that they had to do. keep the government open, by the end of september, raise the debt ceiling, probably by the end of september, so that probably take some time right there. they will probably not get back to this until the fall. there will be some saying, let's get out this obama character, let's get onto talks reform and try to knock some thing out on that as soon as we possibly can. the other thing i should point out, sometimes bills have to fail in order to pass. i have seen that happen over and over again. once something doesn't fail, it rejuvenates the forces, and people say, let's figure out an actual solution here. the sheer drama of tonight's vote. that first vote was held up for more than an hour i can think of two points in the past 24 years i have been covering congress. one was in 2003, a vote in the house of representatives that

. >> jon: joining us now, bret baier, the anchor of "special report," timing is everything in politicsr them standpoint of the republicans, you want to get obamacare repealed and replaced, john mccain's absence from the senate could not be worse. >> that's right, good morning. i think the delay is obviously a sign that they need john mccain's vote. and there are no two ways about it. this will come down to just one, maybe two votes, but to have two republican senators who have already said that they are voting against the health care bill no matter what. you have others who have concerns. the two are rand paul and susan collins. so they are counting heads here. and though the delay will raise questions about where the support lies. one of the things that you have not heard a lot about is that there are only two definite "nos" not 12 as you had before in the first senate g.o.p. bill. while there are some on the fence, there are indications that mitch mcconnell is working behind the scenes to get these votes over the finish line. so i think when senate democrats say, don't count out the
