strategist karl rove.ston, mit professor jonathan gruber, one of the architects of obamacare. one of the big criticisms of the house plan is how it would treat older americans who don't qualify for medicare and how it would treat people with pre-existing conditions, professor what is the problem there? >> jonathan: the problem is that for older americans their health insurance is very expensive and obamacare that is dealt with deliberating how much they could be charged for younger people and the tax credits that could limit the percentage of income they would pay for health insurance. that all goes away under the house alternative. the medicaid expansion goes away so for the elderly they don't have access to health insurance, a tax credits become black tax credits, not income based so the elderly have to pay much more for their health care insurance. basically you have a system which is not as protective of those people. >> chris: let's talk about both aspects of this, democrats are now saying the fact th

"the new york times" broke the report about a quarter after five this afternoon, i will keep monitoring my phone for the latest breaking news. about a quarter after five, back in february, the president held in over office meeting with a group of his advisors, the attorney general jeff sessions was there, as was the fbi director. as that meeting wrapped up, the president asked the participants, with the exception of james comey, to leave, and a comey wrote a memo, according to someone who was close to him and "the new york times" reporting, in which he said it that the president said to him that lieutenant general michael flynn, the former national security advisor, had d

to karl rove on what he makes of that. the snickering over the top. what did you make of it, karl? >> i don't think it was snickering. i think it was being chagrinned. this is a moment that it was carefully staged to honor the article 5 of the nato treaty which says an attack on one is an attack on all to unveil a monument of 9-11 in which nato invoked article 5 for the first time in defense of the united states. it's like this is a message that three previous presidents that i'm aware of have delivered to nato. nobody has delivered it in such a public way. i think they may have been chagrinned at being called out publicly and they may have been chagrinned it happened at this moment. >> neil: that didn't look too chagrinned to me. i believe and as you said, honoring that commitment, the attack on one nato member is a tack on all. the president is there for this event and honoring this event. keeps that understood. i understand a concern during the campaign, but i do find when i look at this list of those that even as of this day are not keeping up, that's worrisome for this whole n

so much up for us, karl. how did his first trip go? >> i think it went extremely well on the front end, namely, the visits and re-odd and jerusalem. it went okay, great visuals in rome. it is not go as well in either the nato meetings are the g-7 meetings. and the administration not to pay attention to those and sure those things up. the president was right in making that charge to the europeans, you need to live up to your treaty commitments. i think it would have gone to better if -- much better in private, maybe not been as effective. but it would have gone down a little bit better if he made it publicly, if he had reaffirmed our so-called article 5 commitments, that attack on any nato member is an attack on all. that probably would have made it better. but don't read too much into it. look at the implications of what is playing out here and don't let it get worse. >> sandra: karl rove, thank you. good to see you. >> you back. >> sandra: early this morning, north korea launched a ballistic missile test, the nation's third and just t

how is the white house responding to that, here's our chief white house correspondent, jonathan karl. >> reporter: in the oval office today, president trump was asked about his search for a new fbi director to replace the fired jim comey. >> mr. president, how's the process of going -- >> thank you. thank you. >> are you shaking up your staff, mr. president? >> thank you. very good. >> thank you. >> moving rapidly. >> reporter: that search may be moving rapidly, but the white house is defying congressional demands for answers on whether the president has been secretly recording his conversations. late last week, he implied he was, taunting the fired fbi director with a tweet, saying, "james comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!" >> if there are tapes as the president has suggested, he should turn them over immediately. >> reporter: even republicans are saying if there are tapes, they need to be preserved and turned over. >> you can't be cute about tapes, if there are any tapes of this conversation, they need to be turne
