joining me from washington is kelsey snell from woech. and ezra klein, editor in chief of vox.d more than a day to soak in on the hill. how is it sitting? >> well, at this point, the big question is can mitch mcconnell get to 50 votes? that's how many he needs to get this to pass. they're using superb budget rules so they need a bare majority of 51 votes to pass. they can call in back-up from mike pence to vote one vote. they have 52 republicans in want senate and they can only lose two. right now we are looking at about four conservatives who have said they don't support the bill nonetheless current form but they left open a lot of wiggle room so they could potentially get themselves to yes with a few concession. the real question at this point is what will happen with moderates, like senator susan collins of main, and lisa murkowski of alaska, who have not yet committed one way or another. >> ezra, the four she mentioned, and heller and flake, mitch mcconnell has to do this dance with everyone. >> he does have to do this dance with everyone. and the question is what are diffe

we talk to kelsey snell of "the washington post" and ezra klein of vox. >> what's interesting about this bill sit retains most to have the architecture of the affordable care act, it just takes away money for it to achieve its goals. liberals don't like the way it doesn't get what it needs to get done. conservatives like it because the platform is still around, and the democrats could come back and refill it with money. in theory there is a lot of policy disagreement. but if republicans want to pass something, well, this is something. >> glor: we continue with uber's ousting of c.e.o. travis kalanick and we look at what's next for the ride sharing giants. mike isaac, derek thompson and max chafkin. >> uber is big but i don't think it's as big as it thinks it is. lyft is comin' on. uber has been pouring money from venture capitalists for years, subsidize effing riride we take while pushing its drivers to accept less and less money. the fact they're still not making money is telling and potentially troubling. >> glor: we conclude with the president of princeton university, chris eisgruber.

with us tonight, kelsey snell, who covers "the washington post," welcome back to the broadcast, both of you. congressman, we'll start with you, number one about paul ryan whose job is in addition to keeping his caucus, his party together to carry the water for the administration through congress. and to you personally, david, how did today feel as a former but proud republican office holder? >> heartbreaking. and many of us are still looking for answers and looking for leadership within the republican party. but the hill republicans are answering to the same base that donald trump is, it's the same voters. that is why nothing will change today. donald trump is a man with hate in his heart. a small and weak man with a special type of cruelty to insult a woman on the world stage over her appearance. and he owes mika brzezinski an apology but he will not do it. the impact internationally is that the world leaders are looking to him as the american voice on the hill. you now have senators once again cringing and distancing themselves but ultimately going to stick with him. but brian, we

kristen welker is at the white house and thomas dupree and with me kelsey snell and national political reporter jonathan swan. kristen, i want to start with you. threats explain where all this goes and the pushback now today from top white house advisors. >> well, first, to emphasize our reporting, hallie. "washington post" was first to announce and nbc news confirmed that robert mueller is looking into whether the president obstructed justice. so, that is what our reporting has been. now, as you pointed out over the weekend, a lot of mixed messaging. the president's outside counsel insisting he is not under investigation. stressing that he hasn't been alerted about any investigation. by the way, he wouldn't necessarily be alerted about an investigation at this point in time because the investigation is still in its early stages. the broader strategy here, though, hallie, is striking. the president, the white house effectively trying to under mine the entire russia probe. president trump over the weekend referring to it as a witch-hunt. a number of times. of course, that echoes comment
