senator collins and mccocaine and murkowski. this was a decision to stand pat.e's medical situation do not wait for the regular order of the senate. i think unless they decide that they got to get the conference and take the best to fix this, they have not serious. >> this goes baack before trump. >> a bill does not become a law by pass whatever you can and write it. >> no, that's not regular order. >> that's not how it should happen. senator mccain is right. we should be surprised, senator mccain says he was not going to vote for this law. a conservative senator from south carolina states this policy is a disaster. republicans voting for what they all knew it is a disaster but none of them wanted them to become law. look at what happens in the senate when you had republican senators voted for something that none of them want to become law. the secretary, it is a failure and it is imploding and it is hurting people. the truth the matter is and as big of a fiailure they make it out to be, it is not going to be popular and the first time, aca is above water right

today news 4 collins met with the police chief to discuss this. what did you learn today, pat. >> reporter: i'm here because that's where the police chief is doing a crime walk. i came here to talk about the murder case that occurred across town in the bloomingdale section of northwest. you see, it was one year ago today that seth rich was shot and killed as he was walking to his home while he was only about a block and a half away from his home when he got shot and killed. seth rich was 27 years old. he worked with the democratic national committee. so far no arrests, no suspects. here now an update from police chief pete. >> it's a horrible case. yo home. looks like it was a robbery, unnecessarily lost a life on our city streets. we don't have a lot of new information, the case we're continuing to urge folks, if they've heard something or if they saw something, no matter how insignificant they may think it is. give us a call. conspiracy theorist trying to link it to the dnc e-mail scandal. i can say, we don't have anything to suggest that it was any way related to his employ

then senators like collins saying we don't even have a vote to proceed. there is already a new patorward but they will be relying on a very narrow path forward. vonnie: morgan stanley has reason to celebrate. traders posted more fixed income revenue than goldman sachs. the smallest drop among the top five u.s. investment banks. how did morgan stanley managed to better than goldman? >> one of the things we were highlighted in the choices of writing was the commodities sector. this is something morgan stanley has largely gotten out of. interestingly enough, goldman sachs did not exactly say we had a terrible loss in commodities. >> they said it was the worst quarter ever. >> maybe not a lot, but certainly bad. that could be one of theforwardg on a very narrow things. one other item that morgan stanley talk about in terms of fixed income was they had the rates, they are not good for them. >> the bank of japan. as expected, they took no steps to downgrade their aggressive program. >> to central bank acknowledged it was the being too optimistic with 2% inflation target. >> the date for

collins, and it has, nearly 6,000 signatures. frazier died of complication from his liver cancer in 2011. >>> what do you think. >> good idea, right. >> pat, i read something once he has only who two boxers in his career, foreman and ali, if that is true. >> i'm pretty sure that is true. >> incredible boxer. >> well deserved. >> well, coming up in the next half an hour of "eyewitness news" how nasa is recycling a piece of old equipment to make way for future. >>> find out about apple's hearing implant made for the i phone. >>> we are live at the site of the deadly fire in glenside, montgomery county fire chief has given an update we will have it coming up next. >>> plus see more of this video shot by inmates showing their escape from prison, we will have it for you and we will be right >>> good morning i'm rahel solomon. >>> aim jim donovan. katie and pat will be along but here's what you need to know to start dare in the morning minute, thursday, july . >>> a fast moving fire leaves one person dead in montgomery county. >> an adult male on the floor in the living room. >> tragedy at ohio state fare a ride malfunctions killing at lee one

collins, murkowski and mccain. the status quo is not working. but this was a decision to stand pat. there isn't regular order. people's medical situations do not wait for the regular order of the senate. and i think unless and until they decide that they have got to get to conference to take in the best expert opinion and fix this, they're not serious and the senate isn't serious. mcconnell and mccain have been going around for years. this goes back before trump. it was mcconnell who brought down mccain-feingold. >> but a bill doesn't become a law bypass whatever you can and then write it -- >> that's actually regular order. >> that's not how it should happen. senator mccain was right. senator mccain said he wasn't going to vote for this law as it was. not my conservative senator from south carolina, very red state, this as policy is a disaster. what is unbelievable is that quite frankly you had so many repuanknew was a disaster and ne of them wanted it to become law. if americans want to understand why their politics is broke, look at what happened in the senate when you had republican senator after republic

senator roberts, pat roberts of kansas, says as things stand now, he would support the improved senate healthcare bill. i don't know if he was among the ten not too keen on it prior? susan collins at the time and certainly rand paul, they're two definite -- look like definite nos. they can't go beyond that. there were eight others that had concerns. if they keep it down the two, the tiebreaker would be the vice president and they would get it passed. again, i don't know if senator roberts was among those leery. he's not leery now. markets are not leery of this. the back and forth. i wonder why that is. so i go to one of the smartest guys i've known since i've been covering this. can you believe decades? i don't look it. gary, what's going on with the markets? why are they so confident or does it have nothing to do with this? >> i think it has everything to do with it. you have to go back to november 9. the market had not done anything for about 1 1/2 years to two years. it lifted off of the election. there's no doubt in my mind what is built in is a lot of expectations of rolling back of lots of taxes, lots of regulations, lots of mandates, the fixing of healthcare and the worr

collins of maine, rand paul of kentucky, they are still not there. and you can't lose that many people, right? >> meghan: you can only lose two. i think the point that he made with patas valid, he said that rubble guns have been talking about this for seven years, way before it had anything to do with politics, what is the hesitation? the present my question i want to ask lisa murkowski and rand paul and some of these moderates and whatever you want, were you not genuine when you are self ran on repealing and replacing obamacare? is this just something that you think you want to go to your constituents, if you are rand paul or lisa murkowski, and you are only going to have their specific needs and wants at hand because other than about your personal safety, this is about america, as well, and absf obamacare, and of these people aren't willing to work together and ultimately work for the good of the republican party, it is going to be a very, very scary midterm election. >> juan: i will respond to you but i will put it to greg if you don't mind. gray, i just think that when i look at the polling numbers, most republicans don't like this bill. >> greg: nobody likes th
