it is possible, molly, for something to come of this. they could reach an agreement on syria and terms of deconflict in channels of the united states, there could be an agreement on north korea. it's interesting that while this is the president's first to sit down with vladimir putin, the secretary state also in the room knows him very well. rex tillerson is used to dealing with vladimir putin, so he's a valuable asset to have of the president's side. putin can be somewhat different than he initially repairs. i was at that summit in 2001 in slovenia between president george w. bush and putin where bush famously said, i looked into his eyes and i saw his sou soul. i think of president bush had a do over, he would probably take it. president trump going into this, knowing what a slippery character putin can be and we can only hope for the sake of the nation that he went in with his wise wide open. >> molly: we're looking forward to readouts from this meeting. thank you, john roberts following all of the geopolitical universe today. we appr

joining us now from washington capitol hill reporter for the hill molly cooper. good morning to you. it seems like mitch mcconnell faces really an uphill battle on health care since really both moderates and conservative republicans are expressing doubt. the period of work that you have for two weeks into august, so i don't know if it's going to be totally possible for them to have this vote to proceed next week, but perhaps the week after. it's not necessarily whether he is going to get these votes for the first vote on the actual legislation. it's just simply moving on to the legislation. after the senate does take up the legislation, then at that point members of the senate primarily republicans can offer amendments and what not that have the chance of passing and maybe improving the bill for the republicans. at this point it's unclear whether he will have those votes next week. >> molly, i want to get a sense as to the support or the lack thereof that the president has right now amidst everything that's been going on. the president aboard air force one thursd

molly, i want you to weigh in in a little bit on senator mccain as well.ow important he is to capitol hill. not just to the public, but to the political process as well. >> well, you know, he is elected. he has been there for decades. he is one of the senators that new senators look to. he is a veteran. keep in mind, you know, when this happened, you know, sort of the current theme of these comments, the well wishes that people are sending towards him is, guess what, you know, you have -- if somebody can defeat this and beat this, it's john mccain. he survived worse. you know, based on what lindsey graham probably his bff in the senate has said, you know, you talk to mccain for about five minutes. mccain talked to the defense authorization bill in health care. you know, it's going to be interesting to see how it proceeds. especially because -- this is health care hitting home. this is a win one for the gipper type situation for the republican party because that and maybe $200 billion extra in medicaid to help for those expansion states could maybe get repu

joining us once again, capitol hill reporter molly hooper. molly, so much to cover. given all. the trump team losing compeblt on capitol hill? what are you hearing? >> i'm hearing this is like tolstoy's "war and peace." just dripping outside. drip, drip, drip, a lot of republicans want it to go away. they're not necessarily hearing about it back home. it's not fun when you have a lot of issues on the table. it's distracting. right now, they're focused on tax reform, health care. and to have to talk about, as we heard earlier, when trey galloway was saying all the people in the white house need to get on the same page, to hear the drip, drip, drip, it's not what they want to be focusing on right now. >> molly, one of the reasons this story has dragged out as long as it has is because of the evolving story coming from donald trump jr. in particular. the "the new york times" as we were just saying that inside air force one saturday agency the president returned home a small group of advisers essentially helped craft a statement for the president's son that we heard earlier. accord

also with us capitol hill reporter for "the hill" molly cooper. daniel, good to you have with us. tough diagnosis for john mccain. obviously, this is going to be a personal setback. a difficult situation for the senator. we wish him well. what are the implications of this for legislation on capitol hill? particularly the health care debate. >> it deprives republicans to get health care through. mccain's departure from the scene right now, that only makes it harder. i think people are really pulling for mccain. he is widely respected on the

molly, i want you to weigh in in a little bit on senator mccain as well. his reputation, his spirits. how important he is to capitol hill. not just to the public, but to the political process as well. >> well, you know, he is elected. he has been there for decades. he is one of the senators that new senators look to. he is a veteran. keep in mind, you know, when this happened, you know, sort of the current theme of these comments, the well wishes that people are sending towards him is, guess what, you know, you have -- if somebody can defeat this and beat this, it's john mccain.

. >> all right, molly cooper live in d.c., daniel here for us. we'll speak to you later in the program. thanks for joining us. >>> let's turn to health care. a key group of senate republicans worked late into the night to try to revive their stalled health care bill. just over 20 senators, including both moderates and conservatives, were in attendance at the roughly three-hour-long meeting. the discussion followed a luncheon at the white house where president trump urged members of his own party to get to work. take a listen. >> my message today is really simple. we have to stay here. we shouldn't leave town. we should hammer this out and get it done. the people of this country need more than a repeal. they need a repeal and a replace. we were very, very close, and

as molly well knows. so, i do think that, you know, jeff sessions might have a little bit of leeway there, but the problem is that he's been changing his story. >> yeah, that story continues to change. molly, the president made it clear to the "new york times" earlier this week, he was not so happy with jeff sessions. can president trump fire him, do you think, without making it look like there's something to hide. and by the way, does he even care about that perception. >> that's actually a great question, does he care. it seems like donald trump does what donald trump wants to do when he wants to do it and he has his own purpose that a lot of people in d.c. at least up on capitol hill don't really understand until, you know, weeks later, perhaps. but the sessions question is very interesting because here he was earlier this week, basically, you know, excoriating his attorney general and saying, i never would have hired him if i knew he was going to recuse himself, but today, he defended sessions in twit

barrows legal journalist with the trial lawyer magazine molly how was how was one sunny this is a crazy story one rogue chemist able to falsify so many reports for so long without being caught and more importantly how weird is that and what was your motivation what's your take on this story. i know this sounds like an episode of law and order doesn't it but it actually happened in real life and according to data this is happening more often at labs across a number of states so critics say the bigger issue is that the entire criminal justice system needs to be reformed because a lot of these drug labs are being seen as an extension of law enforcement when in reality their role is to be neutral when they test evidence from cases especially low level drug offender cases like the majority of these cases that were being tested by any duke on she apparently worked there for nearly ten years and got away with it for so long critics say there were red flags but she did get away with it for so long because the entire system again needs to be reformed she was friendly with prosecutors when she wa
