gerri: emily.what is interesting about these investigations, they seem to go everywhere, you can't predict where they will go next. what is potential down side here for the administration? >> right, the biggest down side, i agree with ford the democrats are out for glad, the question is, is their grandstanding resonate. the down side tomorrow, there will be big questions of jeff sessions regarding a meeting he allegedly had at a reception at mayflower hotel with the russian ambassador that was not previously disclosed. it sounds like he had a nonprivate meeting where he greeted him in a reception line. the larger question is pattern. why do we keep finding that trump satellites had undisclosed meetings with russian ambassadors. that could go one of two ways, if he does a good job, he will have an opportunity to downplay it. gerri: ford, what do you make of that? you are raising questions about whether sessions could handle this audience. but, doesn't he stand to gain currency, he is talking to the

gerri: i'm gerri willis in for charles payne. fast-moving news. attorney general jeff sessions wrapping up bombshell testimony on alleged russian collusion and the firing of former f.b.i. director james comey. the uber ceo taking a leave of absence in the wake of a devastating inherent investigation. jeff sessions in front of the senate. reporter: good evening. let's get big headlines from what jeff sessions testified before the that intelligence committee. he said there was no private meeting with russian officials at the mayflower hotel. and he said the suggestion of collusion is appalling and detestful. he also said that when he recused himself he has not been briefed on any of the russia investigation details since he has recused himself. but there was a line of questioning about his conversations with donald trump and the firing of james comey that he wouldn't answer. >> there is no appropriateness bucket. it's not a legal standard. can you tell me what are these longstanding d.o.j. rules that protect conversations made in the executive witho

gerri: good evening, i'm gerri willis in for charles payne. from capitol hill to the streets of belgium, what house speaker paul ryan had to say and didn't say about tax reform. in bruce else the belgium military shot a suspected terrorist. >> groundhog day. this is very reminiscent of last year, march, 2016. potentially a couple at the airport. this was at the central station. one individual. the previous attack was claimed by isis so i suspect they will do the same with this one. >> as you look at this and you listen to what's going on here, do you expect us to have to deal with more of these in the short term. you don't want to say it's the new normal. you don't want to say it's the cost of living in a big city. or that we accept it as a new normal. we don't do that. the key is to understand that the methodology has shifted somewhat. you know, it's been years since we talked about how al qaeda would be looking to plan something again on the scale of 9/11. after 9/11 one of the things we were most worried about in counter-terrorism were thes

gerry: i really started in late november. because

gerry: they are known for their lists, their quizzes.asty videos, which are these sped-up recipe videos. they're everywhere on facebook. they are really an internet juggernaut. oliver: ceo jonah peretti has been there since the get-go. this is a company that has evolved quite a bit in terms of the content on its website. i remember when buzzfeed was shifting and hiring financial reporters to build out a business reporting part of the website, and that was a big deal. that is still there, but it seems like their focus has shifted much more. even in this story, we get about halfway before we start talking about news. this company looks very different than it did a couple of years ago i feel like. gerry: buzzfeed is 11 years old now, and just like a lot of digital media companies, they have shifted towards online video. what buzzfeed and a lot of online media companies realize now is that there is even more money if you take the online video and figure out a way to turn it into a 23-minute television show, or a two-hour movie. a lot of peop

sometimes a second gerri will render a different outcome for the first gerri. we don't know. we have to await the prosecutor's decision as to whether or not he will refile. that is good. sometimes prosecutors wait to know how many jurors voted before conviction or not. if he already said that, then i am very happy because that is important and i emphasize i would like to see a court -- to testify. that is relevant on the issue of whether bill cosby had a plan, a scheme to drug and sexually assault women and the jury will be better served if they can hear from the other accusers and make that decision as to whether or not they could convict or not and whether the alleged victim was in a position to consent for incapacitated. >> adding more women to a case which you were able to do before. >> the case did not permit it but the prosecution argued for it. >> what would you advise them to do next time? >> i think they did a good job. law enforcement, the detective, everybody on the team. i would like to argue for more accusers to testify. other than that i am sure they will analyz

gerry: i really started in late november. because it was obvious you had a president who nobody understood and who's totally outside the normal political process. and so trying to figure out how to explain him is not called predicting trump, because i don't think anybodyan predict him. but trying to figure out how to set up an understanding of what his patterns are, what drives him, what his experiences have been, i thought would be helpful. host: let's go inside the book. "it is astonishing to me how the elite media and much of the political establishment refused to try to understand donald trump. they have so rabidly opposed him, so ideologically committed to left-wing values, and so terrified of the future that they haven't stopped and considered how extraordinary his success has been." you go on to say, "he is one of the most remarkable individuals to ever occupy the white house." is it too soon to say that, though? gerry: no. we don't know if he'll be a success yet. but he's already remarkable. i mean, you have a person

gerri: reporter: he will join us to talk about how the white house can win over the dems and deep state, in this broadening deepening conflict between the establishment and the left. and the presidency of donald j trump, and have the dems, left and deep state already crossed the line into subversion? first what to expect in the clash between attorney general sessions and dems and left on the senate intelligence committee tomorrow in what is sure too be an historic dramatic hearing tomorrow afternoon. attorney general sessions will testify in what will be an open hearing befores intel committee about his role in the russia investigation, and fired fbi director comey's sleazy insinuation about attorney general, attorney general one of most respected senators to serve in sense add evsenate over past two decades. reporter: there is no such thing as a dull day here at the white house. but today, pales in comparison to what is expected tomorrow. >> we have much great news to share with the american people today. reporter: president trump meeting with his full cabinet today. seeking to put his

david: thank you very much, gerri. melissa. melissa: joining me to he react is republican congressman jim jordan from ohio. sir, thank you for joining us. >> you bet. melissa: you heard senator rand paul's complaint about this, basically how do you pay for it? because like we said, you aren't really cutting medicaid. that is false. democrats are screaming that. you're slowing growth in increase in spending. all the taxes are going away. >> right. melissa: that is good news on one hand but on the other hand how you pay for what you're doing there. >> the focus all along, you're right, as conservatives in the house we want to get rid of obamacare, repeal obamacare. that is something we're not doing that. that is something we told voter and bothers us. that legislation was best we were able to pass. we became focused on working premiums and middle class families. that will be the focus, hope the senate bill what they send back does that. that is the key factor because premiums have been going up like crazy. insurers are leaving, w

gerri willis has, our star on what is driving this. gerri, what is happening here? >> a day after the president met with the senate caucus, consensus eludes republican senators. with no agreement in sight and mitch mcconnell hoping to have a new deal by friday, some are imagining a different end game. senator rand paul suggesting that the caucus break up the repeal and replace bill into two bills. >> i think half of them want more money and half of them want less money. that's why it doesn't work to have one bill. every time you stuff more money in it for the moderates, it offends the conservatives. >> so far republican leadership is using an old fashioned approach using side deals, which is to say dividing up the savings from the health bill among the priority of senators. such a deal could feature $45 billion to address the opioid crisis up from $2 bill in the draft. that would be a win for rob portman. and because conservatives like paul favor health savings accounts, leaders are allowing consumers to tap their health savings accounts to pay for insurance premium

trish: gerri, thank you very much. as gerri just reported everyone, it will be an uphill battle on this one for the republican health care bill. we're getting reports that some republican lawmakers are considering canceling august recess to make progress on the pro-growth agenda which this economy needs. is this just talk or are gop lawmakers serious about getting something done? don't they have to? they have midterms coming up. former labor secretary under president reagan. good to have you back. what say you, are they committed to this? do they understand the importance of getting something done otherwise they're risking a lot for their party and themselves? >> i think, trish, they finally understand it is time to put up or shut up. the midterms are right around the corner and they can not afford to have a health care bill taxed and possibly a repeal bill. trish: how do they get this done? do they stay through their recess? does it happen soon? or do we run the risk, they go off, take vacation, have to address it in

hi, gerri. >> hi, david, that's right. insurers face the deadlines across the country to file their plans for coverage next year and picture of the exchanges is beginning to emerge. new survey by oliver wyman that the average increase being requested by insurers for coverage on the 2018 obamacare exchanges is 20%, two, o. 43% asking for increases in, ses of 20%. at the top end, maryland insurer, carefirst is asking for 52% increase in rates. as in the past, insures are raising rates dramatically because of lack of young people signing foundup for obamacare coverage. under certain hety around obamacare policy is pushing them to assume worst case scenarios. as more and more pull out of the exchanges, according to center for medicare & medicaid services, 1200 counties, 40% of all counties nationwide that contain 2.4 million customers of obamacare will have a single insurer on their exchange next year. another 47 counties, mostly in ohio, missouri and washington, will have no choices at all. the senate's efforts to craft a bil

fox business gerri willis. gerri, that's the story is it favoring out itself instead of its rivals?ll, that's exactly right. let's take a look at the facts here. google receiving the largest fine in european commission history. that's 2.7 billion, yes, with a b dollars. in a antitrust case brought by european regulators. google abused its market dominance in order to give an advantage to its own comparison shopping service, according to the ec, google search dominance is the market leader in all 31eu countries with the share of 90% allowed to promote retailers that sometimes paid promotion. what was illegal? well, being dominant isn't illegal in the eu but using that power to hinder competition on its merits is against the antitrust rules. google has defended itself saying they hope users find products immediately when you shop online, you want to find the products you're looking for quickly, they say, and easily, and advertisers want to promote those same products. i'm quoting here. that's why google shows shopping ads connecting our users with thousands of advertisers. we believe

this was the reaction of the sinn fein president gerry adams speaking at stormont a little bit earlierany money coming in given the history of hostility and conservative cuts was helped to offset all of that pressure on public services is a good thing. let me say that. secondly we have two other side of the deal, the price to be paid for keeping this tory government in power and remember tory government in power is not good for ireland, north or south. the dup have agreed to support the tory government and all the motions of confidence, on the queen's speech, on the budget, finance bills money bills and supply and appropriation legislation and estimates. all legislation and estimates. all legislation pertaining to british national security and to support legislation on brexit. that is the price for whatever is contained in this package. the first minister of wales, carwynjones, told my colleague huw edwards that the deal was unfair — and said more money should now be given to wales, scotland and the english regions. this is cash for votes. this is ten mps, their support being bought in

gerri willis has been following that, what they can buy. what you think, gerri willis?> you can call those ideals. g.o.p. leaders, their dividing up the savings among the priorities of senators, who have not supported the legislation. what they are planning to get the votes they desperately need. the congressional budget office score, the projected 22 million fewer americans would have insurance under the plan with some of those was from yes to no comment so it cannot pass procedural votes to allowed it to be called to the floor. that is exactly what happened. enter the bill savings. it would reduce the deficit by $321 billion fitness $202 billion more than the estimated savings that the house would yield. that's according to the congressional budget office. instead of fattening taxpayers wallets, side deals. among the possible beneficiaries, senator lee and ted cruz. they want to repeal it and have supersize accounts. they would get a chunk of chang change. senators from medicaid expansion states want to see more money towards drug addiction, it's not like this has not

gerry adams has given a news conference.f a deal between the conservatives and the dup. we don't believe that any deal between the dup here and the english tories would be good for the people here. and any deal which undercuts in any with the process here, or the good friday agreement or other agreements, is one that has to be opposed by progressives. one of the main issues for sinn fein is that they would save the conservatives hedge their westminster wagons to the dup, it proves that james brokenshire can't act as an impartial broker in the stormont talks. mr brogan shura says he doesn't see the need for an independent chair. the 22nd ofjune is the final deadline for a deal to bring back power—sharing. if that doesn't happen, westminster will ta ke doesn't happen, westminster will take over running northern ireland, what is known as direct rule. politicians are back behind the talks table today. but they will be thinking about events on the other side of the irish sea. chris page, thank you. one of the biggest surprises of

gerry adams has said it would not be good for the people of northern ireland. the sdlp said that if there is an economic package as a result of the discussions in london thenit result of the discussions in london then it should reflect economic need not the dup‘s political priorities. both parties say it showed the british government cannot be an impartial broker at stormont. james brokenshire has says it could be separate to stabilising the government in stormont. a few months ago the mantra was that "brexit means brexit. " now, though, it's increasingly unclear what that means, and the eu is beginning to show signs of impatience. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier urged london to start talks "very quickly" and appoint a negotiating team that is "stable, accountable and with a mandate." the european parliament's guy verhofstadt said the eu is growing impatient as it waits to learn the uk government's negotiating position. live now to gavin lee in strasbourg. the message from various we are ready. it is. they are ready and becoming impatient, those were t

gerri -- >> yeah.t you told us about medicaid and the slowing down of the shrinkage? i.suspect that's going to be a very big deal for a lot of senators. >> right. as you know, a bunch of governors got together and said, for the love of god, do not cut medicaid, we need that money. as you know, obamacare expanded medicaid so that people could get onto the obamacare platforms, get subsidies for coverage. now the republicans in the senate saying, hey, wait, wait, wait, we're going to slow that down particularly for people in upper income categories four times poverty. that's what obamacare said. that's the limit on people who can participate with subsidies. senators now saying, huh-uh, no. 350% of poverty. so, you see, a ratcheting down of the folks who could be involved in that program. but at the baseline, at the bottom they're allowing more people in lower income levels to participate in obamacare with subsidies. they will get help. the question is how many will be able to afford it even at that level.

thank you very, very much, gerri willis. this gop donor may hear the argument, holding back funds until the agenda that republicans want to see get done, gets done. he is very big donor. of course a lot of people suck up to him. doug bieson. very good to have you. what was reaction from republicans counting on your money, counting on your support? >> i think they understand. i think it has been fairly positive. you know, they intend to get the president's agenda advanced, get health care passed, obamacare repealed and replaced obviously. then tax reform passed, and everyone has the intentions. we'll open it up. there are a lot of donors in dallas frustrated with this dallas is truly the piggybank of the republican party at this point. so, you know, we're just telling them don't bother coming. we'll not open the checkbooks until you get it done. actually fairly positive. neil: like father with allowance. you have to do those jobs before you get an allowance. we know the vice president on the capitol as we speak right now. he
