and i still think there's a chance to do this, dana. they cannot walk away, close their eyes and lock the door because the system is not healthy and obamacare needs to be significantly reformed. and it can be constructively. i talked to senator portman on friday. i'm going to be in washington on monday with a few meetings with some constructive members. this cannot go away, dana, because there are too many people's lives at stake if we fail to be able to reform this program. this is serious, serious stuff. the idea it's a quaint notion that republicans and democrats ought to work together, that's how broken that city is. that is how broken -- maybe what the president needs to do is he needs to call everyone out and say, let's grow up and let's serve america. >> governor, before i let you go, i have to point out that you have been keeping a very busy schedule. and you've been keeping up your political profile. there's a new political organization. you've been traveling the globe. you have a new book coming out, and the title is your camp

>> as you know, dana. on the other side there are people who argue that the whole point is ace subtraction. an attempt by the president, the administration, to try to change the sub from people looking -- the subject from people looking into contacts between the staff and russia. but on another level they also admit here inside the administration people like kellyanne conway, that covering this story and having to deal with this story, especially the president's tweets over the we can also create a distraction. today they were rolling out their travel ban. and the first question and the second question to members of the administration was always about the tweets. the president's assertions against president obama. and when you ask and try to take it to a deeper level, what they will tell you is, well, we know there is no evidence right now, or there is apparently no evidence right now. but donald trump is president of the united states, and he knows things that other people don't know. so the argument turn

dana bash at the capitol. da dana? >> i want to start by asking about an excerpt, the white house just released it, the president will say the time for trivial fights is behind us. what's your reaction? >> this is a man who has been attacking muslims. he's been attacking latinos. he has been attacking the media. he has been attacking judges who ruled against him, and now he has concluded that the time for trivial fights is behind him. well, i hope he's right. we have some enormous problems facing this country. we have a middle class in decline. i hope he'll tell us tonight he's not going to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. we have 28 million people who have no health insurance. i hope he will tell us tonight that he's not going to throw 20 million people off of health insurance. >> the other thing that president trump said today to reporters is that he thinks that the time is right for an immigration bill, a compromise, said he wouldn't go as far as a path to citizenship, but perhaps legal status, so the question

dana osborn describes the moment she got the tragic news. sot dana osbornummm. wow.. umm i was at home and our assistant director and myself got the news at the same time early in the morning and we just we just all held together yesterday.and just supported each other and got through our day. we're processing, its really hard. today was harder. today was a lot harder.in los gatos, ha k4 news. months after a rolling gun battle through the streets of san leandro -- police say, they have both of the suspected gunmen in custody. the incident happened back in november -- and left an elderly couple seriously hurt, today police arrested marcus jones in an apartment in san leandro. they say, the 35-year old was carrying illegal guns and drugs .. which they say suggests, he may also be involved in more crimes. police are now investigating why the suspect was carrying so much firepower .. jones is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder. the other suspect, davlon harris was arrested near the scene back in november. tonight two men have be

>> well, dana, let me just begin by saying this. the bill that was defeated should have been defeated. it was a disastrous piece of legislation primarily designed to provide $300 billion in tax breaks to the top 2% throwing 24 million people off of health insurance, raising premiums for older workers in a very, very significant way. it was defeated. the american people wanted it defeated and i'm glad that we were able to accomplish that. now, as you indicated, of course, obamacare has serious problems. deductibles are too high and premiums are too high and the cost of health care is going up at a much faster rate than it should. ideally where we should be going is to join the rest of the industrialized the world and guarantee health care to all people as a right and that's why i'm going to introduce a medicare for all single-payer program. short term this is what we can do. john kasich was talking about chatting with the president about the high cost of prescription drugs. well, you know what. i've introduced legislation that would

>> all right, dana bash, stay with me. i want to go right now to cnn's manu raju who is live right outside the conference room where speaker ryan met with house republicans. with we are expecting speaker ryan to come out. meantime, manu raju, what are you hearing from your position? >> reporter: those were the exact words from paul ryan. time to move on. that's what we're hearing member after member who left this meeting t it was a very brief meeting. it was a sign they're done negotiating, it's time to move on to other issues and put health care behind them. i had a chance to talk to andy barr, congressman from kentucky, that essentially means health care is dead for this congress. take a listen. health care is dead for this congress? >> well, you never say never, don't know if it will be permanently, but i think for the time being sure sounds that way. >> who is to blame for this? >> you know, i don't know if there is anyone to blame for this. i will say this, that the president and our leadership did a great job in havi

. >> 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 don't know exactly what happened in that meeting in particular, meaning what the president said to the house speaker about his view of whether to go forward with this vote despite the nafact that th voe votes aren't on paper but we heard from a white house spokesman, don't usually see them declaring what the votes are going to be in congress, that did happen today, having said that it is up to the house republican leadership to decide whether and when they are going to go forward and hold this vote. as we speak down the hall behind me i think we have a live picture of the door, the house speaker is in his office meeting with top house republican leadership, huddling probably you know with a lot of brows to wipe trying to figure out are they actually going to do this? are they going to go forward? clearly the speaker is reporting back what the president said from the meeting

loesch, host of "dana" and robert zimmerman, democratic national committee member and strategist.come to both of you. great to have you here. robert, i will start with you. it is somewhat surprising to listen to these mayors talk about sticking up for themselve themselves, not defending the law. the federal law is on the books. it says that if you to attain an illegal, you have to love the federal authorities now. that is the law. >> martha, the premise of this argument is basically this -- this is not a democrat versus republican discretion. the leading law enforcement officials around the country, sheriffs from conservative texas driving with police officers in liberal san francisco, all pointing out that the president trump and attorney general sessions want to do is go to the cities and tell them they will block federal funds that go to police enforcement --dash go >> martha: if they don't do their job. >> police equipment, terrorism surveillance, if they don't turn over individuals who are picked up on traffic tickets, jaywalking, filling out forms, driver's license forms inc

dana, hour things going in afri africa? >> so far so good.re on a ship, a surgical hospital ship. my first day was a little rough. i had morning sickness, but it really wasn't morning sickness, i was just motion sick in the morning. don't start any rumors. this is a different trip than before because in coming go we arrived on the very first day. that was the assessment, where 7000 people lined up to see if therm a candidate for surgery. this is different. the ship has been in benin for ten months. they're wrapping things up. they do several surgeries a day. peter my husband and earn landers who is with me were able to watch the whole thing. we saw a celebration of sight today which was all sorts of people, they did 70 cataract surgeries this week alone. this was a celebration of these people who are now able to see who had been blind for a long time. it's been fabulous. >> juan: dana, where do the doctors come from? i'm envious, you are such a good spirit p i saw in the report about a third of the people who come to the ship are americans. w

dana: there is always a risk of the weather. get clearance from the airforce to fly and sometimes people in luxury boats are looking. it is slated for late thursday. we will see how the weather holds. cory: the notion is this will alternately be cheaper, but how expensive are these launches? is it reasonable these rockets can save money? dana: ses, the communication satellite satellite, has said what the price is. the cto says they got a cheaper launch for being first in line, long-time customers willing to go first. we know from spacex's website that a typical launch is roughly $62 million. there is a discount if you buy in bulk. it should be cheaper. i would like to know what the price is. nobody has disclosed that. let me know. the goal is to reduce the cost for spacex customers and spacex itself. they want to send people to mars. in order to do that, you have to be able to fly a rocket, turn it around and fly it again. that is the step to that ultimate goal. cory: the falcon 9 is rocket science, but it is not the most cuttin

-dana: yeah. -lemonis: it really does? no b.s.? -dana: no. lemonis: okay. no b.s., i just did a walk of the kitchen, and it's on-point. no doubt about it. so i want to work in the kitchen with you guys. man: so where was this going? lemonis: i noticed there was some confusion in the kitchen. things are not running as smoothly as they first appeared. which burger is this? man: texan toppings with an egg on it. lemonis: did somebody order a texan with an egg? anybody order it with an egg? you're still waiting for it? is this it? joe t.: i'll get you a burger in sec. lemonis: you got yours and you didn't get yours. that will be on us, by the way. joe t.: are you working on 41 over there? -man: i'm on 45. -joe t.: there's no 41 there? lemonis: we're waiting for a burger with an egg. joe t.: i need that firing, okay? lemonis: who ordered this one? man: we had to remake this burger. -lemonis: is this a refire? -man: yes. well, we dropped it. -lemonis: so this is a no bueno? not only have they messed up two orders, they're completely disorganized. we had another issue. di

i'm dana bash. john king is off. fridays tend to be sleepily here in washington, members of congress are home in their districts, the white house heads to mar-a-lago. but today on the trump administration on the healthcare front, they don't have the option of a quiet friday. they're trying to scramble to repeal and replace the healthcare bill. tom price was on early this morning and the president himself is twisting arms in the oval office. president trump is planning another weekend at mar-a-lago, we should say, but first he's doing something very important as we speak. he is holding probably the most important meeting to date with a foalo world leader, the president is hosting angela merkel, you see her arriving at the white house. german chanceler angela merkel who had a simpatiko relationship with donald trump. during his presidential campaign he was not a merkel fan particularly when she beat him in 2015 for the honor he thought he deserved. he tweeted, i told you "time" magazine would never pick me as a person

dan f dana get to you. why rush it? why did paul ryan feel it was essential to start with health care, most complicated and controversial of issues? >> it is complicated as president found out quickly when he took office and started to have to deal with it. political answer and process answer. political answer is more important than anything. what have been covering since the day obamacare passed seven years ago and political fallout and more importantly political promise amongst republicans we're going to repeal obamacare. congressman israel watching it over and over. more than 60 times house republicans voted to repeal obamacare knowing it didn't really matter because obama was in the white house and wasn't going to sign it, never mind the senate. now he's not in the white house and they have a republican senate and republican in the white house all of whom promised over and over again to do this. that's the political reason they felt they had to tackle this immediately. the process reason is because they really want
