PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
DALE HURD HAS THE STORY.
DALE: COMES IN RESPONSE TO
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S MOVE THURSDAY
ORDERING 30 DIPLOMATS TO LEAVE
IN 72 HOURS AND TWO COMPOSTS
CONSIDERED SPY NESTS CLOSED AND
TWO CYBER CRIMINALS WANTED BY
THE FBI FOR METALLING IN THE
U.S. ELECTION.
THEY ARE DESIGNED TO SEND A
MESSAGE, THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR
IS UNACCEPTABLE.
DALE: PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID
PUTIN IS BEHIND IT.
THIS IS THE SAME PRESIDENT WHO
MOCKED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN
2012 OVER THE RUSSIAN THREAT
SAYING THE COLD WAR WAS OVER.
RUSSIA'S GOVERNMENT CONTINUED TO
DENY CHARGES OF INTERFERING WITH
THE ELECTION, RUSSIAN'S EMBASSY
MOCKED ON TWITTER WITH A PHOTO
OF A LAME DUCK SAYING EVERYBODY
INCLUDING THE AMERICANS WILL BE
GLAD TO SEE THE LAST OF THIS
HAPLESS ADMINISTRATION.
HE PLANNED TO MEET WITH U.S.
INTELLIGENCE LEADERS THIS WEEK
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RUSSIAN
INTERFERENCE WHICH DID NOT
EFFECT THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.
I THINK WE NEED TO GET ON
WITH OUR LIVES, WHOLE AGE OF
COMPUTER, NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS
GOING ON.
DALE: SOME SUPPORTED THE
DALE: SOME SUPPORTED THE
PRESIDENT'S ACTIONS CALLING IT
LONG OVERDUE.
> CEASE-FIRE IN EFFECT IN
SYRIA BEGINNING MIDNIGHT
THURSDAY.
WE'LL HAVE PEACE TALKS NEXT
MONTH.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY BROKERED THE
DEAL AND HOPE IT IS THE
BEGINNING OF AN END OF A
SIX-YEAR WAR WHERE MORE THAN A
QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE
DIED.

> SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE PAUL
STRAND AND AN END TO
'OBAMACARE.'
WHAT CONGRESS FACES IN 2017.
REPORTER: THE RESULTS ARE IN,
IT IS A BIG WIN FOR 'OBAMACARE'
AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE SEEKING
COVERAGE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: IF YOU ARE
NOT COVERED NOW IS THE TAME.
IT IS A MAD DASH FOR COVERAGE
BEFORE A REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED
CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT ELECT
TRUMP TAKE OFFICE.
NEW ADMINISTRATION COULD SPELL A
BIG LOSS FOR THE HEALTH CARE
BILL.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HOPE TO
QUICKLY REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE
HEALTH CARE ACT.
SOONER WE CAN GO IN A
DIFFERENT DIRECTION BETTER.
REPORTER: FORMER DEPUTY OF
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES TROY
TELL CBN NEWS IT WON'T BE AS
EASY AS SOME THINK.
THEY RECOGNIZE THERE ARE NOT
60 REPUBLICAN VOTES IN THE
SENATE.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
CALLED RECONCILIATION, BUDGETARY
MECHANISM LETTING YOU PASS WITH
ONLY 51 VOTES BUT LIMITS WHAT
YOU CAN DO.
THEY CAN SAY WE HERE BY REPEAL.
REPORTER: TROY URGES THEM TO
PUSH THROUGH REFORMS TO MAKE
HEALTH INSURANCE CHEAPER AND
EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO PURCHASE
COVERAGE.
WHAT ABOUT THE MILLIONS THAT
RELY ON 'OBAMACARE'?
THEY WILL HAVE TO TARGET SO
THE 20 MILLION PEOPLE ARE NOT
DISRUPTED AND CAN GET SOME CARE.
REPORTER: ANOTHER TARGET
COULD BE DEFUNDED PLANNED
PARENTHOOD.
CONGRESS PUSHED TO CUT MEDICATE
MONEY AND FOR NOW THAT APPEARS
TO BE THE PLAN.
WE PUT A BILL ON PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S DESK IN RECONCILIATION.
OUR POSITION HAS NOT CHANGE.
REPORTER: PRESIDENT OBAMA
VETOED THAT BILL.
NEW PRESIDENT TRUMP COMING TO
TOWN AND PRO-LIFE ADVOCATES HOPE
TO GAIN GROUND.
LAST YEAR HOUSE AND SENATE
PASSED A RECONCILIATION SPENDING
BILL THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE 80%
NDING.
THAT WOULD HAVE DEFUNDED THEM
400 MILLION DOLLARS PLUS.
PATH IS MORE CLEAR THAN IT HAS
EVER BEEN.
