Phases the reconciliation bill, the things were able to do at it department and more legislation is an overall plan that makes it so we can move in the direction of patientcentered health care where patients, families and docs are making medical decisions not the federal government. Shannon Republican Leaders with secretary price are speaking live so lets listen in. It was a topdown government takeover of the health care and thats what weve been working on for years. Its been an open transparent process every step of the way. Weve gone through the Committee Process and hearing through members and were on track. Were on track to bring this bill to the rules Committee Early next week and onto the floor next week. Reporter secretary price, this bill makes medicaid something the president promised he wouldnt do on the campaign trail is the president with this bill keeping his promise to his core supporters . The metric thats always been on washington about medicaid is we determine its success by what we put into it not the care being provided to the beneficiaries of the recipients of medicaid. Sadly the program is broken for so many folks. One of every three physicians in this nation that ought to be seeing medicaid patients dont see them. We ought to step back and say why is that . There must be something wrong with the program and what we hope to do with our congressional colleagues. Fashion a program that work for states and patients and believe we can do so in a way that saves money as well. One more in the back. Reporter does the administration have no where is the president on this . The president s very supportive of this plan. Think it addresses his priorities which are to make certain preexisting illnesses are covered and tax coverage and to encourage individuals to gain courage and give states the flexibility they need and have a transition that allows folks to have a soft landing and move from one system to another to get down drug prices, to address medical malpractice. All the things outlined by the president in his joint session and were enthusiastic in our support of the plan. Thank you. Shannon Republican Leadership and tom price wrapping it up and mike emanual has been listening in. They want it to a floor vote next week. What else do you see them picking up . You see them probing if theres cracks between the president and the capitol hill and tom price a former conservative speaks the language articulately as a medical doctor and someone who served as a conservative in the house and was chair of the house Budget Committee. He emphasized the key points he likes and talked about the administrative actions hell be able to take once they pass the bill. Right now you see lawmakers and leadership in the house and the allies in the Trump Administration trying to cobble together enough votes and conservative support and moderate support to get this across the finish line. We heard some criticism from republican senators and House Speaker paul ryan said theyll get a chance to craft their own measure and once they pass that they can go to conference and work it out but bottom line theyre trying to get 218 votes or so to pass the house of representatives. The fullcourt press is on between the administration and leaders on capitol hill. You have dr. Price coming here to reassure a lot of members that basically this will be good and keep the promise to the American People. Shannon and making a strong statement at the end the president is with them and they are on the same page. All right, a very busy day and next week see you then. Bill and we have steven hayes. This is big news. A big question. Do they have the votes . Its close. You look and theres about 20 republicans in the house expressed reservations or said they wouldnt support it and leadership cant lose any more votes. Were in the armtwisting, hardsale part of the negotiation and having tom price talk to people about this is one thing the Trump Administration needs to do. Bill lets continue to watch the story and budget story. It was said that it was dead on arrival. Its a budget like every other one ive seen in the decade ive been here that is dead on arrival. They call come in dead. Theyre expressions of ones interest and a way to respond to promises. Bill he has a way of putting it they call come in dead, wow. If you look at the process the budget writing takes place on capitol hill and doesnt start with the white house. The president puts out a plan and its a way to identify priorities or send a message about what you want to do. Obviously the Trump Administration is calling this the skinny budget saying ware done funding some of the programs that havent been proven to be effective and look at cuts in Discretionary Spending in terms of social programs and other things we think havent been effective over the years and its a statement of where the president and his advisors are. I bill i wonder how you see the relationship between the republicans and president and republicans and republicans. A headline cotton goes after the agenda a battle of heavyweights and then ryan praised the president multiple times. Watch. The president of the United States has been mediating this and bringing people together, sitting around a table and hashing out our differences so that we can get to a consensus document. Bill i think this is a fascinating story, steve. A lot of folks arent talking about it. Very interesting. One of the most interesting stories in washington in years. Paul ryan was praising President Trump to back the plan paul ryan has been push from the beginning. Remember back to the initial rollout i would say the botched rollout. You had two different messages. One from pennsylvania avenue and the other from the white house end of pennsylvania avenue. Republicans in the house of representatives were saying this is the it. Were not negotiating or debating this is it. President trump said this is the beginning of the negotiation which is the opposite of what they wanted him to say. What ryan was doing is trying to bring republicans to the seam of same page or many of them to get it through and you pointed out tom cotton questioning this threephase approach saying really youre never going to get to phase two or three. Its a wish list. You have to go with whats in front of you. You have republicans at the white house, house, senate and elsewhere basically saying very different things. Thats not a good way to get a bill like this a controversial bill like this. Bill next week, gorsuch, comey, lots of news. Thank you, steve hayes in washington. Thank you, sir. Shannon a highly anticipated meeting for President Trump today as he prepares to welcome german chancellor Angela Merkel and will discuss fighting isis and ukraine. Thats been Harsh Criticism from both sides during the campaign. Well cover the meet and greet for you. Bill another alert now. News overnight, this is significant. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson talking tough on north korea. Let me be very clear, the policy of strategic patience has ended. Bill wow. What americas top diplomat has to say about action and well talk to ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley when she joins us live and this today. Where was your passion and concern when they said there was no connection to russia and people briefed come out and say there was nothing they had seen that proved a connection. You choose not to cover that and dont stop the narrative. Shannon the white house not giving an inch on the claim that president Obama Wiretapped trump tower. We have brand new fox news polling on how you feel about the claim and what you think should happen next. Bill some stunning video. A woman fighting for her life in the middle of a massive mudslide. The dramatic video in a moment. I cant wait for her to have that College Experience that i had. The classes, the friends, the independence.

Secretary of state Rex Tillerson travelling with strong words for north korea. Let me be clear. The policy of strategic patience has ended. Were exploring security and economic measures. All options are on the table. North korea must understand that the only path to a secure, economically prosperous future is to abandon the Nuclear Weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Bill with me is nikki haley the u. S. Ambassador to the united nations. Welcome new york and thank you for making time for us at americas newsroom. Good morning to you. Thank you, good morning, bill. Bill thank you for your time. North korea is behaving very badly and playing the United States for years. China has done little to help. Thats a lot. How far is this administration willing to go . This is our number one priority. When you look at north korea and the fact that just last year alone they tested 24 Ballistic Missiles and had two Nuclear Tests and this year multiple ballistic tests on top of the fact that he killed his half brother, hes are problems. It shows theyre not listening and nothing has worked. Were taking action on it. Bill when you say it is your number one priority does that mean military action against north korea . That means all options are on the table. What youre going to see is were going to go to china and say ok, enough of saying that youre doing more. We need to know exactly what youre doing and what level youre willing to go to and say the same to russia. We need to see pressure from them on north korea and accordingly based on what those two do United States will respond. Bill china could have a lot of influence here but you said yesterday, been there, done that many many times for many many years. Whats going to get beijing to move . There was a soft approach to china in the past presidency and what i can tell you now is were going to go harder on china. Were going to say, look, if youre wanting to partner and stop the Nuclear Testing thats going on in north korea prove it. Its got to be real proof and well ask them to push through sanction and tell them to stop and based on their acts well act accordingly. Bill i want to move to a couple topics. Yesterday you put out a statement that red in part i have been about read in part i have been working with the Security Council to keep the Peace Keeping process and look forward to working with my colleagues to make the peace the process more efficient. We have to be strategic in the way we do it. There is certainly some fat at the u. N. We can trim and going back and looking at each mission and who we have on the ground and what were doing and what was the original intent of the mission to start. Through the process well get smarter. Bill when beheadings becomes commonplace and the u. S. Doesnt want to lose lives, thats tough. The world is a much different place now. And the conversations im having at the u. N. Is the u. N. Doesnt need to be all things to all people. You have to look at the situation and see if what were trying to do is doable and who the players are in the area and so much of this is more political than it is in terms of safety. You have to look at the politics in an area before you can find out what the Strategic Plan it. Bill yesterday a commission to the u. S. Condemned israel as an apartheid state. How helpful is that . Its not helpful but it goes to the culture of the u. S. Its been israel bashing for decades and we need them to understand theres a new administration in town. Were not going to put up with it. Well have the backs of israel every time they do this. This is a guy known to be against israel and to come out with a report like that was ridiculous and just irresponsible. We were quick to Say Something and i greatly appreciate the secretary general immediately disqualified the report. Bill i take your comment on that to heart. At the same time you say the u. S. Has been putting up carrying the burden for the u. N. For a long time and perhaps for too long and youre looking for other countries to step up. Who in this world is willing to step up in a way the United States has at the u. N. . I think actually a lot of countries will want to step up. Bill can you name one . All of our colleagues i cab can tell you russia will step up and they find this the heart of where negotiations take place and where diplomacy is but theyve never been asked to do that and thats what we need to say. Look, were going to help people around the world. Were going to do our part but we wont cover the whole thing. We need to start seeing more input. They need to be invested so they care about what the outcome of a peacekeeping mission is and i think thats our job to see the inefficiencies. So far they have responded great in wanting to see it more efficient. Bill i ask that and theres a delay in the satellite and we heard that with the u. N. Ten years ago. Has anything changed or you under the leadership of President Trump change it . Ive met secretary general and talk how well do peacekeeping and strategic reform and met with every member of the Security Council and theyre all supportive. No one has pushed back on it. As you see us taking on every mission youll see a difference. In haiti were basically exiting out of haiti. Youll see each mission either come to a close or get smarter in the process and also just what the bureaucrat at the u. N. Theres a lot of fat and well ask for change and what we have is a secretary general thats responding positively and a Security Council who gets it. Bill if you get that done its more than change it will be a revolution on the east side of manhattan. Im determined. Bill thank you, i hear you loud and clear. Thank you and please come back. Nikki haley, the u. S. Ambassador. Shannon you just heard about the ambassador denouncing israel for alleged apartheid practice. Mike huckabee will joining you and a live report on the white house on what the two World Leaders look to forge a strong relationship moving into the future. Theres nothing more than my vacation. Me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. Booking. Com gets it. They offer free cancellation, in case i decide to go from kidfriendly to kidfree.

Authorities trying to locate the man who lived there. 75 firefighters working to contain the fire. That blast shattering windows in nearby homes and scattering debris across the neighborhood. Were told no one was injured to stay tuned for that as they clear it. Shannon President Trump holding his first facetoface meeting with Angela Merkel. Having a sit down after they clashed a bit during the campaign. Kevin, what can we expect from todays meeting . Will they be cordial . She understands a lot of what was said is bluster and its her first visit in a couple years to the white house and the big ticket items is what will happen with nato and american involvement and the ongoing refugee crisis that continues to haunt so many nations in europe. The nato story has been a big one. The president has felt for some time the u. S. Has shouldered the burden. We strongly support nato and only ask the nato members make their full and proper financial contributions to the Nato Alliance which many have not been doing. Many have not been even close. They have to do that. That is not something you can say about germany. They have been shouldering their burden as well but i think obviously Angela Merkel, the chancellor, wants to make sure the u. S. Doesnt back away from its commitment at nato. Shannon do we expect the refugee crisis thats come up that sparked so much tension. Thats a delicate way of putting it. I appreciate the way you laid it out. Its going to come up. I think the president will back away from his comments he shared with the london times in january when he said, look, shes a great leader but i think she made a catastrophic mistake taking in all the illegals. And by taking the refugees the chancellor has changed the face of germany and invited the problems theyve had on the terror front. That will come up but i imagine hell backpeddle just a bit. Bill and the push to replace obamacare. Were hearing from Republican Leadership today and theyre in the closeddoor meeting and Cathy Mcmorris rodgers will emerge and well speak to her at that time. Shannon and theres wiretapping claims despite a Senate Committee report showing theres no evidence to support those allegations. Our panel will weigh in.

Com shannon there are reports this morning the white house has apologized to the British Government or the allegation British Intelligence wiretapped President Trump during the campaign. The white house is not confirming the reports however, a spokesman said we made clear to the administration the allegations are ridiculous around received assurance as they will not be repeated. In the wake of the allegation sean spicer has been talking a lot about whats happening and has taken a lot of heat in the white house and press room. Heres a sampling of yesterdays back and forth. Reporter are you saying the president still stands by his allegation that president obama ordered wiretapping or surveillance of trump tower though the Senate Intelligence agency said they see no evidence its happened. Youre mischaracterizing what happened. At the same time they acknowledge they have not been in contact with the department of justice. Where were you coming to the defense of those members when there was no connection to russian. You didnt report it then. You want to comment and perpetuate a false narrative. Where was were your passion and concern when they said there was no connection to russia. Where was it then . Reporter it sounds like you and the president are saying now we dont mean wiretapping anymore. Are there other forms of surveillance . Whats it going to be next . Jim, thats cute but we talked about it hit it for thee and four days he was talking to broad surveillance and youre going back. We talked about this several days ago. The bottom line is the investigation with the house and senate has been been provided all the information. Shannon ok. We have a fox news political analyst and Mercedes Schlapp a former spokeswoman for george w. Bush. You know the writers of saturday night live were watching that press conference yesterday like, thank you. Well have to watch this weekend. It got pretty heated in there. Mercedes, is sean spicer having to swim upstream now in a gushing and torrential river because this is tough. Hes parsing words and making points but its getting heated in the meantime. After watching that i felt i needed a pint of green beer for today. The Trump Administration is in a difficult spot. You have a staunch supporter Richard Burke saying we see no evidence of wiretapping and the president using twitter for what he think and feels at the time it becomes problematic when he uses words like wiretapping. Is the investigation going on of the connection between the president Obama Administration basically being involved in giving out classified information to reporters. Those are the questions that need to be answered but when it comes to the wiretapping allegation its one of those things you had attorney general sessions coming out and saying theres no evidence. Shannon one, i want to read the statement we got from senator burr and i believe senator warner. The head of the Senate Intelligence committee a joint statement they put out saying based on the Information Available to us we see no indications of the wiretapping but they said based on the Information Available to us. Yesterday sean spicer said they dont have all the information. He said the president has more to come. Is there a chance he is vindicated at some point and all these critics of his will be wrong . Thats always possible. The president would have more information i would think than anyone in the universe because he has access to the Intelligence Agency reports. The one caveat is for a little bit sean spicer saying the use wiretap was in quotes in the president s twitter communications. In some cases it wasnt and hes talking about things more broadly, shannon. What we heard from congressman nunes and the house Intelligence Committee is theres no indication of surveillance of trump tower or the president tobe and thats comprehensive as a statement and backs up what we heard from the former director of National Intelligence and the current fbi director and as you pointed out attorney general sessions. Shannon devin nunes went on to say in the comments to say he does think its possible the president was caught up in some surveillance. We have a poll asking should Congress Investigate the wiretapping allegation. Yes, 46 and no, 49 and should President Trump produce documents to back his claim obama ordered wiretap, 76 yes, and 21 no. Is the burden now his . Absolutely the burden is his. You see congress separating and republicans separating themselves from what President Trump has said. Its going to be up to the president and his team to figure out if theres evidence in terms of the wiretapping allegation or where he used the word wiretap and has been taken literally obviously and saying maybe there was broader surveillance. Its not the first time President Trump has gone over the edge a little bit and then backtracks. What is interesting to see is whats going to happen as were seeing reports of the National Security adviser mcmaster reaching out to the British Government apologizing. That will be an interesting story to watch. Shannon quickly, juan, next week well have the big hearing that starts on monday director comey and others, key players in this. Do you think well get answers . I think well get more of what we have so far. What you heard from nunes and others in the senate is based on the conversations with people like comey and others and they dont see any evidence. I think to pick up on what mercedes was saying the burden is on the president and its becoming a heavy burden because republicans are moving away from him where people like he was on the transition committee. Burr was an advisor. These are trump people. Its not like you say oh, those democrats are going after our president. Thats not whats happening here. Shannon again, congressmen nunes the chair of the committee leaving wiggle room. The investigations are going on continuing and maybe well find out next week. Its mustsee tv. Shannon, no crickets. Shannon were dressed like crickets but no crickets. Good to see guy. Good to see you. At one point back it your question about 2017 and i think 2. 6 for to 18. The wall will take longer than two years as to the source of funds thats up to the president and treasury and state department. Were the guys at omb and gals at omb who take the money we have and allocate. Bill thats this budget direct are Mick Mulvaney and how long it will take to build the wall and they want a down payment for the construction through 2018. Some suggest the total cost of the wall could be three times that will amount. What did he say, shannon, theres not one budget that croaked on the line. Well see what becomes real. Shannon we talked about several of president obamas budgets got zero votes in the senate like 990 and one was 981. The white house knows its a wish list. Bill if that were a bracket in march madness youd be out of luck. Shannon hows your bracket so far . Bill im hanging in there. Shannon the stuff nightmares are made of. A woman trying to survival a mudslide. Bill and a u. N. Report accusing israel of apartheid. Governor Mike Huckabee is here to react and first Ambassador Nikki Haley earlier. They have been israel bashing for decades and we want them to understand theres a new administration in town. Were not going to put up with it. Even the most perceptive noses wont notice the trash.

Shannon a woman in peru is lucky to be alive. The woman is crawling over debris crawling to safety and the crowd cheering her on. She was reportedly dragged 160 feet before the escaped the muddy water and a cow was swept away. I dont know if the cow made it. Torrential rains led to at least one death. You can hear the people cheering her on and there must have been a celebration. Bill you wond whats left of the town and it goes on and on and shes covered in all of it. Our best to her. Lucky woman on this st. Patricks day watching that, wow. 15 minutes before the hour, a fox news alert the u. N. Filing a report accusing israel of being an apartheid straight saying it participates of systemic oppression of palestinians. The u. S. Ambassador it the u. S. Nikki haley responding. We want them to understand theres a new administration in town. We wont put up with it and have the backs of israel every time they do this. This is a guy known to be against israel and to come out with a report like that was ridiculous and it was just irresponsible. Bill lets bring in Mike Huckabee a Fox News Contributor and making many trips to israel. Good morning to you. Not a lot of friends at the u. S. On this. I want to make it clear its not endorsed by the secretarygeneral. It was a Commission Led by arab states. What about it governor . It wasnt endorsed by the secretarygeneral and its time the u. S. Quit funding this nonsense. Thats what angers many of us. Its an antisemitic report and saying israel is an apartheid state. Thats nonsense ive gone since 1973 and i think i have a better handle on it than the goons who write this nonsense. If you want to know what the threat to the Palestinian People its the Sanction Movement that has put many out of a job. Jobs for which they were paid four times what they would have made had they had any job in the Palestinian Authority thats whats oppressive and the way the corruption has happened impoverishing many palestinians is what im ready for the u. N. To start investing. Bill she pushed back and shes going to fight hard at the u. N. And made that clear to us. God bless her. Bill the north korean deal. Its a big deal. Rex tillerson laid down the law earlier and now is visiting the country of common. President tweeted this, north korea is behaving very badly and playing the United States for years. China has done little to help. When i ask you that, governor, in a broad sense, Rex Tillersons talking tough, so is President Trump. Hows this new sheriff, whats he get and behave in the big, bad world hes taking on. Governor, what do you think on that . Tillerson and the president are playing it right. Theyre recognizing were not going to have much influence over north korea because theyre led by a lunatic. The only entity that has any opportunity to put a lid on it is china. They lean on china and depend on china and china can put them in a halfnelson and explain how its going to be done. Thats the right kind of pressure. Put it on the third party, china and make it clear if you dont get them under control you dont want the rest of us to do it because its not going to be pretty. You better get your little brother under control and sit on him tight because otherwise were not going to continue to let them threaten the world with Nuclear Devices. Bill i dont know if you heard Ambassador Haley she said this is their number one priority. It has to be. They already have Nuclear Devices and cant wait to find a good Delivery System to use them. We have a real issue with iran in the middle east but the North Koreans are led by a lunatic. You cant sit back and believe hes not seriously pulling the trigger on nationses around him and the west. Nations around him and to the west. Bill does President Trumps toughness change this or not . I think it does. We had years of an effectless strgs that administration that hemmed and hawed the world needs to know were not aanxious to get into a confrontation but we wont back away from a pipsqueak who threaten the world and not only south korea and japan but the United States with the possibility of nuclear war. We wont sit back and act like it doesnt matter. You bet it does. Bill we wait from reaction from beijing next. Thank you, sir. Governor Mike Huckabee with us and have a great weekend and happy st. Patricks day to you. Shannon general mattis meeting with saudi arabias defense minister and how a Close Partnership can affect the battle. Bill and why some argue theyre partially to blame for a crime wave. Whats that about . Shannon chicago prosecutors now facing criticism for what some see as a weak stance on gun violence. Many including the citys Police Superintendent say the judicial system is not tough enough. Were live in chicago with the story. We hear so much about the shoots and problems in chicago and many say theyre not doing enough to punish criminals. Shannon, there are so in exacerbating factors contributing to chicagos crime and murder rate. One thing we hear over and over again is the judicial system here is just soft and that prosecutors and judges are using the laws on the books to lock up criminals pulling the trigger. The county system largest in the country is traditionally very soft on most gun charges particularly illegal possession. If you shoot somebody or kill somebody theyre tough like anybody else but otherwise its very much a joke. We pulled the stats on gun prosecutions in chicago and compared them to other cities and it seems criticism of the judicial system may be warranted. In 2016 the u. S. Attorney in chicago prosecuted 123 gun crimes many still active in the court and kansas city has a fraction of the city and it prosecuted nearly triple the amount of gun cases, 340. Even new york where the murder rate and gun problem pales to chicago with 87 gun crime prosecutions. The top cop has pleaded with prosecutors and attorneys to get tough and he was in washington yesterday meeting with Jeff Sessions on gunrelated crimes. Shannon they say the judicial system at times is a joke. What are the prosecutors and judges have to say. Are they coming out and defending themselves . The u. S. Attorney here in chicago was fired last week but we spoke with the state attorney who admitted there was a problem. We have an issue of credibility with our criminal justice system. We have to go after those doing Violent Crimes and thats an obligation we have with our partners. Theres fingerpointing with police, judges and prosecutors but theres now a lot of attention on a new bill that passed state Committee Last week direct courts to lengthen penalties and require judges to publicly explain why they gave a lighter sentence. All the negative attention on chicago seems to have lit a fire under prosecutors. The u. S. Attorney in chicago saying it only tried 123 cases last year that was the most it tried in over 20 years, shannon. Shannon maybe a new trend. Thank you. Bill the white house Standing Firm on President Trumps claim on trump tower during the campaign and that story today and Chris Wallace in a moment on what will be an eventful week on capitol hill, neil gorsuch, the fbi directoreh care. Thats coming up next top of the hour. it just feels like anything is possible here in upstate new york. at corning, i test smart glass that goes all over the world. But theres no place like home. Theres always Something Different to do like skiing in the winter, jet skiing in the summer. We can do everything. New york state is filled with bright minds like samanthas. To find the companies and talent of tomorrow, search for our page, jobsinnewyorkstate on linkedin. Shannon the white house Standing Firmly behind President Trumps wiretap claim as consideration continues to investigate and some of the president s closest allies on capitol hill put distance between themselves and the commanderinchief. Im Shannon Bream in for martha maccallum. Bill im bill hemmer. You look good with the shamrock. James comey due on the hill when hell be pressed on the investigation and claims of surveillance targeting the trump campaign. And did you see this yesterday . The heated moments in the brady Briefing Room as the White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer stars with reporters. I think the president s been very clear when he talked about this and he talked about it last night when he spoke of wiretapping he meant surveillance and devin nunes stated it and you choose not to cover that part. Bill Catherine Herridge is live. What are top lawmakers saying about the issue. And mark warner went beyond the president s wiretapping claim and based on the Information Available to us we see no indications trump tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after election day 2016. And with todays deadline looming the house Intelligence Committee wants the nsa and fbi to explain who in the last administration identified or unmasked americans whose phone calls were captured during Foreign Surveillance operation and whether the names go beyond mike flynn the former National Security advisor. Ive been very clear about my concern about number one the incidental collection on general flynn and that was put into a product and how it was unmasked and leaked to the public. Several crimes have been committed here. Last night the senior democrat on the House Oversight committee that shows flynn was paid by a kremlin backed organization afor an event and received 23,000 from russian businesses and the democrats want an investigation because they said the payments would be a violation of a provision that bars gifts from foreign governments, bill. Bill what do we expect to learn monday . You have the fbi, nsa directors on the hill . Well hear the facts of the cases. Well know more about key questions including whether there is a criminal investigation at the fbi that touches members of the trump team and also whether there was collusion, if you will, and the unmasking of americans whose names were picked up in the course of foreign intelligence operations. I can tell you based on our reporting this is going to be tense if the committee doesnt get an answer with the deadline of today because we now understand that request, the names of americans who came up in that surveillance has been with the agencies for nearly two weeks, bill. It was only this week we learned because the letter was issued by that committee. Bill Catherine Herridge, thank you. There are reports also this morning the white house has apologized to the British Government that British Intelligence wiretapping President Trump during the campaign. The white house will not confirm the reports however, a spokesman said the following, quote, we have made clear to the administration the allegations are utterly ridiculous and we have received assurances they will not be repeated, end quote. Shannon more on this now with chris. Its such a boring time in the white house. And you saw multiple exchanges and where do we go from here friday we have the monday we have the hearing. Well see the fbi director and others to provide more answers. What will you watch for in the hearing . Somebody will ask whether or not there was and its interesting the white house is backing up. Remember, two weeks ago tomorrow that President Trump down at maralago tweeted out and it was very specific. He talks about wiretapping of his phones at trump tower by president obama. That would be extraordinary. He would have had to rather the obama team would have had to have gone to a court probably a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and get approval and reasonable causing cause to get approval that someone was commit crime. They now put wiretaps in quotes and talk about surveillance and one wonders whether perhaps what the president is talking about is the mike flynn case where it wasnt actual surveillance at trump tower of candidate trumps phones but rather some members of the trump team were swept up in electronic surveillance of the phones of the Russian Ambassador and there would be nothing wrong with that we would assume that the nsa or fbi would be eavesdropping with the ambassador and it happens this case it was with candidate trumps top National Security advisor. Shannon it seems thats the crack in the door with devin nunes and hell be with you sunday saying its possible other were swept up and thats a possibility hes leaving open and still concerned about that and wants answers. Yeah, and the real question there i dont think anybody would object to the idea were spying on the russians in this country just as they spy on american diplomats in russia. The concern is supposedly americans swept up in those phone calls should in be protected. The focus is the russian not the american on the phone and that got leaked to every front page of every newspaper and channel in america and that was a breach of the ethics of violations of regulations when it comes to americans. Thats the concern there. You have to emphasize its a long way from President Trumps tweets that his phone were specifically wiretapped at trump tower. Thats what he said two weeks ago tomorrow and theres been no evidence of that. Shannon you know both he and sean spicer said theres more to come. Im standing by, i know we all are. Also were standing for on monday the confirmation hearing for neil gorsuch to join the u. S. Supreme court. Most are saying the left dont like him on principle per se. And Jeff Blumenthal using the f word for filibuster. To think you have the hearing on the fbi and its not the most important hearing on monday and you have the norm nomination of neil gorsuch. I agree, the democrats have not come up with much. They say hes a friend of corporations and big business and not the little guy. They also are concerned about the 14 months that gorsuch spent working in the george w. Bush administration on enhanced interrogation and detention at gitmo but those arent smoking guns. We get to the f word and i was word rid worried when you said that at first. Shannon you know me. But still, filibuster. Now, the democrats could filibuster gorsuch. They do have at this point thats still an option and the Nuclear Option doesnt extend to Supreme Court nominees but the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has left the option that only one time a Supreme Court nominee has been filibuster in the 1960s. If democrats take that almost unprecedented step and filibuster Gorsuch Mcconnell has said a simple majority for a Supreme Court nominee would change that rule forever. Shannon youre hear from folks on both sides of the aisle dont want that to happen. As if that wasnt enough the bill goes to the house floor for a vote next week as well. Do you think it happens . Do i think it passes . Shannon no, do you think they get it there next week . Heres the answer. If theyve got the votes theyll put it there next week if they dont have the votes theyll put it off and well talk to paul ryan on sunday and hes the chief vote counter in the house and theyll have to make change. As the bill currently stands they dont have enough support from conservatives. They need 218 votes and they dont have that. Theyll have to make some lastminute amendments but the danger is if you go too far to the right to satisfy them then you may lose moderate votes in states that had Medicaid Expansion and they dont want to see millions of their constituents cut off on health care coverage. Shannon and because people need great news we have video of you doing something you probably do all the time. Bowling at the white house. Thats very nice. Based on the fist pump was that a spare or strike . Whats going on there . Youll have to wait and see. Thats funny. Theres been a lot of talk im so embarrassed watching this. Shannon you shouldnt be. Thats a nice delivery, very nice. Anyway, news and bowling. So what happened is theres been a lot of talk about donald trump and can you take this stuff down . I cant talk while im watching this. What happens here . Ooh, that was pretty good. Theres been a lot of talk of how President Trump is using the white house Bowling Alley to win people over and bring them over for pizza and bowling. Ive never seen the white house Bowling Alley. Ive covered it for six years, not the Bowling Alley, the white house. Its fascinating. Its in the Old Executive Office building across the street. Eisenhower built it and bold there and Lady Bird Johnson bowled there and i had nod not bowled in 15 years so i have an excuse. Shannon you have an excuse too because if thats a high hiatus that was good. Watch Fox News Sunday and hell have House Speaker paul ryan and discuss the next steps and devin nunes chair of the fbi committee weighing on the testimony to come monday all on Fox News Sunday and then well be joined for the full coverage of the Committee Hearing with fbi director james comey and the confirmation hearing for neil gorsuch in the attempt to become the next Supreme Court justice. Ill see you in person monday. Shannon and there may be bowling too. Hows your game, shannon. Shannon i take the fifth. Thats what im going to do. See you sunday, chris. You bet. Bill good form, wallace. Shannon very nice.

The longestlasting vehicle in its class. More than a car, its a subaru. Various shouting heigh ho its off to work we go woman on the gulf coast, new exxonmobil projects are expected to create over 45,000 jobs.

These are jobs that natural gas is helping make happen, all while reducing americas emissions. Energy lives here. The u. S. Pledging closer ties against saudi arabia as secretary mattis meets with the prince at the pentagon and saying theyre a prime target for the terrorist army. Like here at home President Trump has tried to address with the controversial travel ban. Heres sean hannity on that fight. Do you want to sacrifice your safety over the fears of slightly inconveniencing a few people . Theres nothing wrong with finding out if people who want to come to this country agree with our values, Constitutional Rights and principles. In fact it should be a prerequisite before coming here. Its time to put your life over being politically correct. Shannon a former u. S. Navy seal and an author. Our defense secretary. Lets talk about what concerns you may have there. Could have a huge upside but i know youre word worried about motivation. We have to understand theyre already fighting against the iranian influence down in jordan and yemen and places like that but we need to understand what their intention is. If this is going to be a proxy war against iran we need to be careful about using our resource. Shannon whats the best way of determining that . Thats what secretary mattis was trying to get at. I think its something with proper leadership we can figure out and we cant just allocate resources to send troops in we have to be on the ground to monitor this and make sure the mission is Going Forward and we need to understand what russias motivations are. You cant win the war on the region without getting on the same page there. Shannon if we have things aligned, aims and goals with saudi arabia and convinced their motivation is pure enough moving forward, what kind of an asset could they be in partnering together . Huge. Keep in mind, saudi arabia is not keen on the isis struggle. They wont accept the refugees because theyre worried about the threats of terror. They know the region very well. Obviously theyre there. We need to rely on some of their intelligence sources but sharing intelligence both ways will be an effective method against fighting isis. Shannon given the travel pauses and bans now subject to another round of litigation most stemming from hawaii where a judge had the most decisive ruling against it. Hawaii has taken zero refugees give or take from the six proposed banned countries. The judge who has ruled against this has been purely politically partisan. I would say two things here. One, if the judges ruling is overturned not in the Kangaroo Court at the ninth circuit but the Supreme Court he should go through an impeachment trial and it should not be tolerate and nice to be considered for impeachment and President Trump needs to direct all resources to make sure the blocked order of those six nations or the immigrants and refugee programs go to hawaii, no questions asked. Shannon well see if the president is watching or the white house or take up the plan. Meanwhile well watch the route to the white house. Well see if there are eight or nine justices when it arrives. Carl hinby, thank you. Bill we saw comments on the health care and how its going to stand by when its ready well play it for you. In the meantime the feud between the administration and media is heating up. Sean spicer battling reporters during the meeting and it kind of went like this. Youre coming to serious conclusions for a guy with zero intelligence classified. Reporter give me some credit. A little intelligence maybe. Clearance. Maybe both. Reporter you and the president are saying we dont believe its wiretapping any more. Whats it going to be next . I think thats cute but at the end of the day we talked about this for three and four days. You seem to believe you have all this information and have been read in on all these things which i find interesting. Youre coming to serious conclusions for a guy with zero intelligence [laughter] classified. Reporter give me some credit. A little intelligence, maybe. Clearance. I wasnt done. Clearance. Maybe both. Bill a moment of levity there and there were several moments during the heated briefing yesterday. Sean spicers conversation with reporters quickly escalating to shouting and repeated interruptions. Bernie goldberg Fox News Contributor joins me on st. Patricks. Where do you see the relationship going . I have to shamelessly admit i think the press briefing is more interesting than most tv shows. Its real drama. Real drama and like real good drama it has conflict and confrontation. On the one hand you have the press secretary ready to defend what his boss says and may interest to defend what he sends is tweets and he has to defend it and the press is saying you expect us to buy this nonsense. But on the other hand and members of the press will never acknowledge this but some of them viscerally detest the president of the United States. Ok. Its not policy so much its him. So you have these two colliding very powerful forces. Remember the original star trek on tv it was matter and antimatter and when they collide you have friction, heat and explosions and thats what were seeing. Bill when you think about the history of the briefings even watching this for a long time is the press secretary spicer is he more aggressive and the media more aggressive than normal. Let me speak to the spicer end of that, what he does better publicly better than anybody ive seen in my memory he challenge the press and holds them accountable for their double standard. He said recently and this is a quote, the press doesnt like it when you call it their errors the same way they call out everyone elses. Hes absolutely right about that. Its been my experience the ples looks down everybodys throat. They look down the throat of the presidency and president and military and sports people and business people. More often than not theyll circle the wagon and spicer has spotted that and unlike other press secretaries hes not frayed to tell them to their afraid to tell them to their face. Bill hold on a moment. Were seeing the tape play out with the president at the white house and the Republican Study Committee. This is significant stuff headlines on health care and how its going. And i want everybody to know the press has not been speaking properly about how great this is going to be. The press is as you know in many cases i call it the fake news. This is going to be great for people. I watch, i say thats not the bill were passing and i also want everyone to know that all of these nos or potential nos are all yeses every person sitting in this room is now a yes. We made certain changes and frankly little though i want the states to run the program and theyre better equipped than the federal government. I also want people it know obamacare is dead. Its a dead Health Care Plan. Its not even a Health Care Plan frankly. I watched the architect of the plan and watched the clip when he said the American People are stupid to have voted for it and president clinton saying its the craziest thing ive seen because everyone knows its on its last dying feet the fake news is trying to say good things about it. Fake media. There is no good news about obamacare. Obamacare is dead. Unless we gave it massive subsidies in a year from now or six months from now its not even going to be here. When they say more people are under the plan. Theres not more people on the plan. I was in tennessee telling the folks and half the state has no Insurance Company and the other half is going to lose the Insurance Company. The people dont know what to do. Its a disaster. Obamacares dead. Nothing to do with these people. Nothing to do with me. Its on respirator and about ready to implode. Now, we could wait for six months or a year and let it happen. Its not the right thing to do for the people. This is a great plan. This is going to be fantastic. Youre going to have bidding at the one level by Insurance Companies and remember this, remember this, those lines are going to come out and have bidding by Insurance Companies like youve never seen before. Plans are going to come out like nobodys ever seen before. Plans nobodys thought of now are going to be devised by Insurance Companies to take care of people. Were going to take care of people at all levels. I just want to let the world know i am 100 in favor. These folks and they are tough and they love their constituents and their country. These folks were nos, mostly nos yesterday and now every single one is a yes. I just want to thank you. Were going to have a Health Care Plan thats going to be second to none. Its going to be great. The people will see that. By the way, it will take a little while. With obamacare it got worse and worse and ream premiums went up and the obamacare act is no longer affordable. And this is a good democrat. He wanted obamacare but its no longer affordable. Its not an alternative. Its not there. Its dead. I just want to say thank you very much. I really appreciate it. 100 of the nos ares were yeses and we have a couple mixed but i want to thank you folks and well have a great great Health Care Plan. Thank you very much. Bill that is the story of the year to date. Obamacare is dead. President trump saying that repeatedly during the meeting with the Republican Study Committee and some very conservative too. Cathy Mcmorris Rodgers had a press conference two hours ago and had a meeting and thank you for your time. Hes talking as if this is a done deal, is it . Were working through the legislative process. Were on track. Weve been doing this in an open transparent way. Youve seen us work through the Committee Process and ways and means Committee Last week and the Budget Committee and our goal is to put it on the floor next week. Action is necessary right now. Bill do you have 218 votes in the house . Yes or no . This is a legislative process. Were continuing to listen to members, to address their concerns, get to a place where people feel comfortable supporting this proposed bill that going to mean Better Health care for people in america. Every person in america. Im excited that were taking action. You just heard the president lay out, premiums will go down 25 in this year alone. One of three counties only have one plan available. We just had a meeting with secretary tom price and had a press conference with him and hes very much engaged. Theyre looking at the regulations. Obamacare gave over 1400 ways for the secretary of health and Human Services to write provisions of the law and the new secretary tom price is going through the process. Hes going to be taking action. Bill lets go back to the news of the moment, you are being more cautious than the president. Why is that . Boy, were all in. We have been working with the president , with the senate every step of the way. Were going to continue to talk to our members, locking them down so we go into next week assure that we have the votes. This is we dont have another option. Bill hes meeting with i think 12 maybe 13 members of the Republican Party in the oval office. Some are conservative members. He just said they were a novote yesterday and are a yesvote today. What changed . This is all part of the legislative process. Their concerns were heard. Bill im trying to enlighten our viewers to figure out whats going on behind closed doors here. What has changed in the bill that would get conservative members who may have opposed 24 hours ago to change their vote to a yes today . Theres some details with the medicaid. Our goal is to get it back to the states. With the obamacare there was a huge Medicaid Expansion. A large portion were ablebodied adults. Our goal was to responsibly unwind it and get money to the states to set up the best programs possible. The conservatives had some concerns about the details of the process and those are some of the types of detail that were addressing. Bill very interesting. So medicaid is one of them. Give me another one thats a concern. The tax credits. We are offering tax credits for individuals that do not get their Health Insurance through their employer or through the government whether its medicare or medicaid. We want to ensure we have a vibrant market for individuals and part of that is a tax credit allowing individuals to keep more of their hardearned dollars and be able to spend that money in the way that will best meet their Health Care Needs for them and their families. The amount of that tax credit, how it fades in we have it adjusted for age. Some of those details are the very detail the members are first of all better understanding, asking questions and at times making adjustments so that we continue to get the votes we need next week on the floor. Bill also the president just said its going to take time before it gets better. Is that a year, two years or more than that . Youll see immediate relief. Youll immediately see therell be more choices in the marketplace. The premiums increases wont be what were anticipated. I think what hes referring to as the reforms continue to be implemented youre going to see a more vibrant marketplace and see more plans and more innovative solutions. Im really excited. Bill youll have to explain to the American People the drawdown process because if you go forward with this you know that people will be if theyve been harmed by obamacare financially theyre going to expect immediate help and that may not happen. Can you sell that . Yes, for anyone on Medicaid Expansion, for example, we commit to ensuring theyll not have the rug pulled out from underneath them. We made a commitment to them. For example, health Insurance Companies later this spring are required to propose their proposed premiums for 2018. Any relief we can give them the sooner the better in giving them the ability to offer more choices, more plans in the marketplace. Thats going to benefit 2018. As we continue to move forward with more of these reforms youll see more plans made available and overa over a tenyear period cbo is predicting premiums will come down 10 across the country and we believe as we continue phase theres of this bill or this million that would include across state lines and the Association Health plans and opening up more options in the marketplace well see even more dramatic reductions in premiums and why the president says it will continue to get better. Bill heres what he said. Watch here a minute ago at the white house. All the nos or potential nos are all yeses. Every Single Person sitting in this room is now a yes. We made certain changes. I also want people it know that obamacare dead. Its a dead Health Care Plan. Its not even a Health Care Plan frankly. Bill you have a minute left. You mentioned phase three. Tom cotton a republican senator from arkansas calls that a myth. What do you say to him . Id say he needs to get on board with the plan. Theres items we can address immediately and we must because obamacare is on a path to destruction. Higher premiums, less choices. We must take action immediately. Theres other items that will require 60 votes in the senate and we have to go to work on that. Bill last question, will you bring this to the floor of the house next week as was stated earlier today by tom price and others . Yes, yes. Were on track. Were very encouraged. Well continue to be working every day bringing it to the rules Committee Early on next week and onto the floor for passage. Bill Cathy Mcmorris rodgers thank you for your time and well see how it goes together. Thank you. Thank you. Shannon german chance chancellor Angela Merkel just arriving to the white house now. Will it make for an awkward meeting between key allies . Shannon were going playback from the white house where theres been a listening session with veterans groups. Well protect those who protect us. Ive said that a lot over the last two years at rallies and speeches. We will protect those who protect us and thats just starting because i think the veterans have not been treated fairly and david and a group of brilliant, brilliant doctors and businessmen are forming a board and you have the most talented people ive ever seen working with you. This is no more games to be played at the va. I want to thank david, your new secretary. Hell be so outstanding. I think it passed 1000. When i heard the vote i said where does that come from . So bring your vision, experience and determination to the crucial task of reforming the va and ensuring care for our returning heroes and warriors and today im having a major meeting with some of the people we put on the board. We have an amazing man and one of the great businessmen of our time and others having a meeting tonight at what we call affectionately the southern white house. It seems to be the most convenient location. Everyone seems it want to go to the southern white house. Its going to be great. All about the va. The vas Mission Statement is engraved in the plaques it reads to care for him who shall have born the battle and for his widow and that was stated by abraham lincoln. That was lincolns pledge. For too many veterans this hasnt been their experience at all. Weve been reading horrible stories over the years and already, david, im hearing its Getting Better with improvements made and under my administration it will change. Its very important to me. During my campaign i outlined a detailed plan for reforming veterans care tlaut the country and throughout the country and were working to put the plan into effect and moving i can say honestly ahead of schedule. As commanderinchief i will not accept substandard service for our great veterans. Every member of our government is expect to do their utmost to ensure our veterans have the care theyre so entitled to. Maybe more entitled to than anybody and that hasnt been the way they were treated but its going to be the way they are going to be treated. Again, thank you for being here. Its a great honor and maybe ill ask david just to say a few words. Thank you, mr. President and mr. Vice president. I want you to know the people in the room are some of the most dedicated passionate people advocating for our veterans. Theyre our partners in this quest to transform va. We are so grateful theyre here with us standing as partners. I also want to thank you, President Trump for the budget. I think youve honored your commitment showing the country cares about the veterans and youve given us the ability to make sure we are able to care for them. I also want to tell you that yesterday the house passed an accountability bill and were very very grateful for chairman roses leadership and were looking forward to the senate and bringing a bill forward. I think as you said, were committed to the million you outlined during your campaign to making the va the type of organization that americans want it to be and were well on our way to do that so thank you very much. Thats great. And unrelated we just had a meeting with probably 12 congressmen and it was an amazing meeting because they were all nos, would you say, mike . All nos or pretty much no. And after 15 minutes in all a fairness they went from no to all yeses. The health care looks like it will be in great shape. Its a great plan. The press doesnt give it a fair read but i heard that before. What are you going to do, the fake news. Its a great plan or i wouldnt be involved with it. We have 12 nos and weve done some great things and the nos in every single case went to a yes so that was a great honor and health care looks like its really happening and its going to be great. Obamacare is dead. Some of you folks yourselves have family members that have suffered greatly under obamacare. Its dying. Its just about on its last legs. If we did absolutely nothing obamacare is dead. It will fail. In tennessee where i just left half the state has no insurance carrier. Its gone. They were going to leave the other half of the state very soon. Many states are down to one. Theyll end up with nothing. So obamacares dead. Well come up with a replacement thats going to be fantastic and we have no support from the democrats. Thats why its a little we have to go interesting routes. It has to be approved in pieces and its working out really well. We have 12 great people that went from no or maybe and maybe leaning to no, right, mike . And they all have given me a commitment theyre voting for the Health Care Plan so that was great. I want to thank you all for being here and lets talk and the press will leave. Thank you very much. Shannon that was moments ago at the white house. The president starting a listening session with the va secretary and veterans grouped and theyre doing better and taking care of our veterans and talked about the tough plans for that and also you saw him there taking a bit of a victory lap with the members of the Republican Study Committee and he said some that were nos are now yes moments ago at the white house. Bill they have the largest block of conservatives and congressman gary palmer voted against the measure yesterday in committee and the president is now saying hes a yes, 24 hours later. Remarkable stuff. Shannon art of the. Bill could be. A quick break and back after this. Hey there, starting your search for the ri am used car . You got it. Just say show me millions of used cars for sale at the all new carfax. Com. But, i don want one thats had a bunch of owners just say, show me cars with only one owner pretty cool its perfect. Thats the power of carfax® find the cars you want, avoid the ones you dont plus you get a free carfax® report with every listing start your used car search at carfax. Com bill the university of maryland is creating the position of undocumented student coordinator. As part of the committeeiment commitment were address coordinator to serve the immediate needs of the undocumented population. And how are you doing, sterling. Whats an undocumented student coordinator. What that individual do . Its unclear what that will entail but you lack look at other universities around the states and you have tuition and those sorts of things. I think thats what youll see from the coordinator position. Bill why do they need this . Students demanded support for undocumented students at umd this is a mistake by the university because coming to the leftist demands from the folks at the university will never be enough. Tomorrow theyll want Legal Support and a team of attorneys. It will never be enough. Bill where else do you see this . We do. Last fall the university of chicago gave Illegal Immigrants students 300,000 in scholarships to attend that university. Thats 300,000 that could go to american that cant afford to go there or for immigrant students in the United States legally. Thats what the money should be going towards. The universities have honor codes that say you cant cheat, you cant lie, you cant steal. Theyre helping people cheat the federal immigration law. Bill can you reverse this or is it like government once its done its done. The closest thing to immortality is a government agency. Colleges arent as inflexible. I thought youll see this going away soon. Bill thank you very much for coming on and explaining that to us. Undocumented. Shannon a historic visit as german chancellor Angela Merkel meets with President Trump face to face. Were live with that in the next hour. Whats happening now. Big morning and news. It does not stop. Happy saint pattys day to you. Your rushing after the parade, correct . No rushing in new york right now anywhere. Have a great day. Have a great weekend everybody. We begin now with a fox news alert, secretary of state Rex Tillerson drawing a big line in the sand or perhaps snow, given the location, as he threatens north korea with an american attack. The happening now for this,. As you can imagine, he was ensouled today. He said all options are on the table to determine the kim jongun regime. This following an exclusive interview with
