troic terrorism related. while president trump is ready to move on to his next legislative fight, it's clear his first legislative loss to replace the affordable care act is still fresh on his mind. nbc's chris pollone has the details. >> reporter: in huntington beach, california, saturday, supporters and opponents of donald trump clashed during competing demonstrations. a symbol of the gulf dividing the country's people and political leaders. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: a day after the president said he's moving on. >> big tax cuts and tax reform, that'll be next. >> reporter: it's clear trump's still thinking about his first big legislative loss, predicting in a tweet saturday morning that obamacare will explode and assuring constituents do not worry. >> our vice president michael pence. >> reporter: mike pence took the administration's message to a friendly crowd of small business owners in west virginia, a state trump carried by more than 40 points. >> they told me how obamacare stand in the way and stifles
10:04 am
it's a burden not just to job creators. it's also a burden to the american people. folks, i frankly -- i wasn't surprised to hear it because every promise of obamacare has been broken. >> reporter: despite have been a more than 40-vote republican majority in the house, the administration is pointing the finger at democrats for friday's defeat. >> with 100% of house democrats, every single one, and a handful of republicans actually standing in the way of president trump's plan to repeal and replace obamacare, we're back to the drawing board. >> reporter: senator bernie sanders among those happy to claim victory. >> we should be proud as a people that we defeated that proposal. it makes me a little bit nervous that the president of the united states is apparently working and hoping that a major federal plan will fail. and i hope that he doesn't sabotage it. >> reporter: the question now, what's next? democrats admit obamacare needs to be improved. will the administration take another crack at it, or will the
10:05 am
president look for his first legislative win somewhere else? chris pollone, nbc news, new york. we're just talking now to a special guest we have with us this morning. he's here to join us, talking more about this health care fight. >> joins us now, nbc news special correspondent tom brokaw. it's a pleasure to have you. welcome back into the building. >> thank you very much. i still know where the soft drink dispenser is. >> hasn't changed too much. >> no. exce except the food in the cafeteria has changed. >> we won't talk about that. we do want to get your perspective, however, on the big legislative loss for president trump in his first 100 days. put it all in perspective. the health care repeal and replace just done. >> well, very, very complicated issue. i'm a little surprised they w
10:06 am
they rushed through something in an all-night session and went to the republican side main congre and said, you got to pass it. they already knew the freedom caucus would say no. there are parts they don't like. of course, they were defeated. he came into office saying my first day in office, i'm going to get rid of obamacare and have something much better. turns out, he didn't have anything in mind. it was a campaign promise. what worries me most of all is people out there in america are looking and wondering, am i going to be okay? maybe i have a child who has leukemia or a child with some kind of another condition and i need to have coverage. is it going to there for me in six months? i think that the washington establishment, both sides, has to do something to be more reassuring. >> i know that we've seen president trump, even when he was candidate trump, saying things people would ask, well, how is he going to recover from that? now you have something, that as you mentiod,
10:07 am
first hundred days in office. how does he bounce back from this? >> well, one of the very prominent republican senators said to me the other day, a day without a tweet is a good day. i think maybe he could dial back on all of that and get his act together before he goes forward. for example, he had a very good, i thought, state of the union address. then he was tweeting the rest of the week and kind of dismantling it as he went along. the job of being president of the united states is a lot harder than being a real estate developer or a candidate. everything you do has reverberations of some kind. i think he underappreciated that. i think he may have overestimated his hold on the country. he won the electoral vote, lost the popular vote. a lot of states he won by narrow margins. he doesn't have the huge mandate he would claim. >> special correspondent for nbc news, tom brokaw. what an honor for us to have you here. e

if you haven't headed out there yet, still time to check out the cherry blossoms in peak bloom this weekend. >> you might want to grab a jacket though or maybe a coat if you plan to head down to the tidal basin today. yesterday, look at that. look at that crowd. people flocked to the cherry trees near the national mall. they just had to see them in bloom. temperatures soared into the 70s during the afternoon. while the earlier cold weather hurt some of those blossoms, there were plenty still to see and photograph. >> we're used to the cherry blossoms having more pop, more appeal. typically the crowds are larger, but we're still having a great time. >> and there's still time to join in on the celebration. this year, the national cherry blossom festival runs through april 16th. a live look outside right now. a gloomy start. but as asked on facebook, we're going to be more positive. we can look ahead to warmer temperatures. tom is closely tracking a warmup headed our way.

10:18 am
river, capitol hill in the distance, a little light fog in the air this morning. you can notice it's also a little damp as well. those low clouds, though, still are not producing any drizzle or any fog or any sprinkles right now other than what we're seeing there. cloudy for the rest of the afternoon right there at the tie ba d -- tidal basin. right now it's only in the upper 40s there as well as around the chesapeake bay. just about everywhere we're in the 40s. storm team 4 radar scanning the clouds, not picking up any sprinkles now. hour by hour timing, as we get into the evening hour, these patches of green are where we might get a few light sprinkles. just enough to make the pavement damp tomorrow morning for the commute. for today, good day to get out and get some exercise. just wear a few layers. mid-50s a
10:19 am
mid-50s through the rest of the afternoon. then dry pavement for the most part after a few sprinkles in the morning on monday. for your lunch hour, we rebound nicely into the upper 60s. a little sun back tomorrow afternoon and ought to jump back into the low and mid-70s. rain showers are looking likely on tuesday. maybe even a few thundershowers. mainly south of the metro area during the afternoon on tuesday. another mild day. then it gets a lit cooler. dry weather, delightful day on wednesday with sunshine. a bit cooler on thursday. then moderate to heavy rain perhaps friday, saying hello to april. next weekend, partly sunny next saturday and sunday with highs around 60. i've said before, this is the most port thing that i've ever done in my public life. what i know now as i get more and more into it, i'm going to double down on that statement because it's extraordinary. >> right there, a familiar face around here.

"meet the press" a short time ago. he talks about the interference by russia into the election. >> and it comes as devin nunez faced scrutiny this week over his actions. joining us now, moderator of "meet the press," chuck todd. thank you for joining us. we're talking about the independent commission and the possibility of that being established. where are we after all of that? >> well, it was interesting. as senator warner is more open to the idea now than he has been before, but he has the caveat and his argument is he believes that he and his republican counterpart are the fastest way to get an investigation started. he's for the commission, but he believes it would take weeks or months to get up and running. maybe you don't have time for it. it is interesting. he was very careful on what he said on some of the details of this investigation. but he keeps saying these things, the more he learns, the more important it is. that is, he's not ready to
10:21 am
sees a conclusion down the road. >> chuck, i want to ask you about this. it's getting a lot of traction on social media this morning. the president facing some questions as he sent a tweet yesterday, directing folks to watch judge janeen pirro's show, in which she essentially blamed blame on paul ryan. >> the question is, is this a house intrigue? is this an accident? look, i've talked to some folks involved, both sides of this dispute, shall we say. and they claim this was an innocent mistake, that the president wasn't trying to send a subtle message. we'll let others decide this. we don't want to play conspiracy theory here, but the fact of the matter is there's a blame game going on because of health care. there's some in this white house that have never fully trusted speaker ryan. there's some on the house side that have never fully trusted president trump. it's never been a comfortable, sort of a forced,
10:22 am
marriage here. the fact of the matter is while they point fingers at each other, this is a loss for the entire republican party. for seven years they made this promise. they got control of the house because of it. they got control of the senate because of it. some argue they got control of the white house because of it, although i don't know if obamacare was the reason he carried michigan or wisconsin. still, they have total control here. and they couldn't get it done. so i think the question is who's going to pay the price for this. i don't know if somehow one side over the other. i think it's most interesting that the president this morning is blaming the right wing of this party, which tells you maybe he wants to move left. >> just another reason for us to be watching "meet the press" 7:30 from now. chuck todd, always a pleasure. molette thanks you for her mug. >> yeah, we ran out of time.
