The American People we will repeal and replace this broken law because its collapsing on its failing families and tomorrow were proceeding. The version of the bill lawmakers are expected to vote on hours from now does make a major change concerning Obamacare Essential Health services. The minimum coverage for Maternity Care and health care that everybody has to pay for now whether they want it or not and this would allow states to decide what to do on essential Health Services and fill a gap for people opting out giving states funds for Maternity Care or drug addiction. It may not be enough to satisfy some lawmakers as they try to muscle the replacement through. And they should have in mind whats good for the people that they represent and i have to keep in mind for the people i represent. We are getting close to a final vote. The rules committee has been meeting since 7 00 this morning here in washington mapping out the way forward. The rules for the rest of the day. The big question mark remains the conservative House Freedom caucus too soon to tell but the leader mark meadows now feels new pressure to get behind the president after the meeting last night. Shannon the world is watching. Peter doocy. The world is watching it will be a busy day for you. Bill lets keep the train rolling to the white house where officials issued a stern warning saying the president will be watching whos with him and against him. And the president is saying if youre not going for health care were moving on, kevin to tax reform. Risen, its put up or shut up, right. Yesterday we heard the president ask about the delay on the vote in capitol hill and clearly he is saying the pressure is on Congressional Republicans. Youve had seven years to come up with something nows the time to get something done. The president wont sit by idly and not throw something out there. Like on twitter, for example, let me show the folks at home what hes saying and let me share what hes tweeting. After seven years of horrible obamacare and skyrocketing premiums and deductibles and bad health care this is finally your chance for a great plan and this allows planned parenthood to continue if they stop the plan. Wow. Talk about a shot to the gut there. Meanwhile, gop lawmakers trying to figure out something and tom price the hhs secretary is saying listen, nows the time to move on this. Heres what he had to say most recently. Its time to put up. Its time to recognize that this is the beginning of the overall plan that will bring about that patientcentered health care. This is the first step and they need to get on board. Get on board or pass. I mean, this is it. Got to have something done here. The president s simply going to move on and Start Talking taxes and energy and the keystone xl pipeline is finally moving forward. Theyll have the review and its now concluded. We believe sometime shortly after 10 00 the white house will announce theyre moving forward with the keystone xl line which once again they say is jobs, jobs, jobs. Bill well be bouncing back between the hill and white house with all the live breaking developments. Well get back to you if news warrants. Good to see you. You too. Shannon the cover of the New York Post my way or the highway. We have steve hayes a Fox News Contributor and the president is essentially telling people through omb director Mick Mulvaney if they dont get it voted through theyre moving on to tax reform. Do you think after republicans ran on this all the way through saying theyll repeal and replace theyll truly walk away from it if it doesnt pass today . You have people like members of the House Freedom caucus and mike lee and ted cruz and others pushing for a repeal and you have strongarming by the house leadership on the republican side but its strikingly reminiscent in my view of how democrats did this when obamacare passed through. Very little debate and no amendments and the my way or highway approach and Chris Collins said we have to pass it to know whats in it. If republicans were trying to mimic democrats theyre doing a good job of it. Shannon i want to play what the congressman had to say. Heres how he boils this down. This is the binary choice which is why we have to put it on the floor. A no vote is a vote to keep obamacare which has imploded. Shannon Lindsey Graham is more removed from the process who is more removed from it saying let it collapse. Its a difficult proposition. Its not something republicans should be cheering. On the other hand, what representative collins is not true. Theres no reason why they cant craft something more closely aligned with a Free Market Health care plan and really repeal and replace obamacare. Thats whats striking to a lot of the conservative policy makers and some of the conservatives i talked to in congress. Shannon so some of the changes include reworking the essential Health Benefits. Thats something the conservative have been pushing to have it pulled out so you dont tell insurers you have to include Maternity Care for everybody and health care for everybody. Let people buy policy fit their needs and the left is worried saying people will be left uncovered and not have basic things they need. Thats been taken out but conservatives say its not enough. In trying to pull in conservatives will you lose those in the middle. Do they pull this from the floor with all the threads or pull it . Sounds like theyll put it to the floor and take their chances. Thats what the president has said. The conventional wisdom is if youre within a dozen votes on the floor you can do the armtwisting you need to get the bill passed. In this case you have 30 republicans in the house who are expressed strong reservations or said flatout they wont vote for the bill. You have to do heavy work to get those people to flip. And the essential Health Benefits is a necessary reform. Has to be part of any Health Care Reform from a conservative perspective but its not a sufficient reform. Youre still leaving basically in place the architecture of obamacare and thats why so many conservatives raised questions on this. Shannon well see if youre prediction comes through that if it fails some will push the full repeal effort. Steve hayes thanks for joining us. Bill more on the high stakes battle playing out on the hill. President trump not so long ago saying the best thing he can do is keep obamacare in place and let it fail. Senator Lindsey Graham agrees and well have him. And while have dr. Ezekial emanuel one of the plans architects well talk to next hour. Shannon and weve seen people out of the rules Committee Start at 7 00 and they have to craft the rule that gets this to the floor. Theyre still in the process. It appears the current rule has fixes to the fixes to the fixes if we can follow all that. That basically the plan keeps changes to the moment and gets to steve hayes plan where the republicans made fun of the democrats and nancy pelosi for saying you have to pass it to know whats it in and im having visions of late 2008 president bush in office and through the tarp bailout on the floor saying its close we can get the votes and we had the split screens and the other screen had the stock market. Shannon weve seen how theyve responded this week. Well be here. A fourth victim has died in london as new arrests are made and were learning new details on the terrorist behind this tomorrow. Plus, the senates top democrat vowing to Block Supreme Court nominee neil gorsuch. Will republicans go nuclear.

Four people were killed and dozens more injured. Isis has claimed responsibility. Well have a live report with new details next hour. Another major story a source telling our own james rosen a potential smoking gun report. Reports the nsa could prove the Obama Administration spied on the Trump Administration team and possibly the president elect as some are blasting chairman nunes. The chairman defending themselves. I feel like i have an obligation to tell them hes taken heat in the news media. And the dissemination is far and wide. It appears to me it was all legal. The question is should it have been done in the first place, did it meet foreign intelligence value and secondly were any other american names unmasked and i have information that says there were. Bill new york republican peter king is a member of the house Intelligence Committee. Good morning. Do you defend the chairmans decision to go public with this information suggesting there was surveillance, number one, and number two, where are we . Our viewers are wondering with all the charges and countercharges. Where are we in the investigation. I support chairman nunes it was right for him to go to the president. He should go to the president when this happens and he had no choice but to go to the president and he was clear he s. What happened here is you had legal surveillance probably wiretapping of foreigners talking to foreigners thats allowed under the fisa act but when an americans name is mentioned it should be masked or blacked out. It has nothing to do with russia or criminal investigations its likely small talk but the president elect of the United States and people close to him and his Transition Team and informing unmasked and sent throughout the Intelligence Community and it looks like surveillance. Youre hiring a private eye with a meeting here and there and it goes against the law and regulation. You said something very important since youre on the Intelligence Committee to make sure i heard it correctly. They mocked the president when he suggested there was surveillance of him or trump tower. You had said the president was caught up in some of the vr surveillance and how much . Theres no recording but people talking to each other either spoken to the president elect or on the Transition Team or overheard stories of people on the Transition Team and talking about that. That information instead of being sealed and masked as we call it, that was distributed including the obama white house. And they could have leaked the information out because they had the names of general flynn and others. General flynn one appears to have been again a wiretap between general flynn and in this case were talking about foreigners talking to foreigners but the information american citizens involved with the trump campaign. Under the law anytime an americans name is mentioned it has to be taken out instead it was disseminated and theres no reason for it. I want to dig deeper on what james rosen is report. He said the fbi hasnt been responsive to the house Intelligence Committees request for document but the nsa is expected to produce documents to the committee by friday. The nsa document production is expected to produce more documents than nunes has seen or described including what one source described as a potential smoking gun establishing the spying of the Obama Administration into the trump Transition Team, true . I can tell you what i know is true is chairman nunes all righted on march 15th to all the Intelligence Community and has nod heard become from the fbi. The nsa said theyll deliver materials today. I will wait and see whats in them before i see whats in them. So james rosen is right about that what about a source saying there could be a smoking gun. Have you picked up any chatter because we see whistleblowers going to chairman nunes giving him information. Are you picking up any suggestion the nsa are not only turning over pieces of paper but have something that may back up the president s charges . I want to wait and see but what has come out so far is significant. This is scandalous you allow americans names on the foreign wiretaps to be disseminated. Its wrong. Theres no excuse for it and it looks like surveillance. The nsa will bring documents ill wait to see myself and go over it today and next week. The consequences could be grave and we appreciate your insight. Congressman, have a good morning. Thank you. Shannon accusations of a brutal crime by an illegal immigrant deported four times and kept coming back. Another Community Outraged by the suspect and what hes accused of doing. We have details. And two very different stories emerging about an alleged rape inside a maryland high school. The attorney for one of the suspects now questioning whether it really happened. I think everyone involved the person accused and the person making the accusation puts their character into play. You better be right because youll be impugning the character of a 14yearold of rape and people heard her screaming and before god you better be sure youre on the right side.

Canam. The ride says it all. Conflicting information about age alleged Sexual Assault in side a maryland bathroom and theres evidence the victim was raped but attorneys for one of the illegal immigrant in the case is saying the opposite. Joining me now is former Boston Police commissioner ed davis. Good morning. The prosecutor has spoken out saying we have evidence of the most horrific kind of crime and the police chief is saying they have a strong case. He says this is what you think it is. Of course the defense attorney will come out and Say Something else but its a different picture hes painting of the 18yearold saying hes a gentle soul and came here from guatemala trying to escape Gang Violence and threats. Where do you go next as prosecutors try to put things together . Outrageous comments by Defense Attorneys are pretty much part of the system and hes advocating for his client but you have to look at the facts here and the facts are a 14yearold young girl has told the police that he was raped. You have to look at the fact that it allegedly occurred in a boys bam bathroom and look ate this fact that people heard her screams and the suspect when he was questioned initially said Nothing Happened and then changed his story and admitted something had happened but said it was consensual. When you add the facts together and you talk about the physical injuries the victim suffered the prosecutor outlined in court and then you have a great police chief like tom manger who has looked at the circumstances and come out strongly in light of the victim the truth lies more in what the prosecution is saying than what the defense is making up to protect their client. Shannon we have a little bit of sounds from both sides. First the attorney from the 18yearold suspect and theres another suspect he doesnt represent and the Police Captain there as well. It just seems the physical evidence is not there. Theres no scratches, theres no bruises, theres no injuries like that. Also this is a bathroom in the middle of the day where it doesnt appear she was screaming or anybody heard going on. Theres medical evidence of resistance. Theres the victims statement of resistance. Theres physical evidence of the rape and sex assault. Shannon these two stories are so wildly different of evidence. It comes down to putting together the case and getting it to a jury. Thats where the facts will matter most. Thats correct. And there are other ways to put this case together. Looking for more witnesses, questioning associates of the suspects to see if theyve had conversation with them. Looking at their social media and tweets and communication devices. Theyll put this case together and im confident its a good case and an outrageous crime against a 14yearold girl. Shannon both suspects, 17 and 18 years old and they were 16 and 17 when they came to the country illegally and apprehended by Border Patrol and there were removal and deportation hearings coming up and none of that happened yet and that ignites the conversation on immigration and Immigration Reform. How tough does it make it for someone like you working on the front lines as a Police Commissioner and police chief when have you the complication of some people here illegally and some cities not wanting to work with official. The lack of policy has been a major problem for decades. We have to get our act together at the federal level, get the laws straightened out to local and state officials can do their job properly. But in this particular case policy that puts an 18yearold man in a high school is just i dont understand how they can be coming in contact with 14yearolds like this. They should be out looking for jobs and taking esl courses at night not being treated like a high school student. Shannon theres so much to unpack on the policy level. Chief, thank you for your time. Good to see you today. Thank you, shannon. Back to our lead story the highstakes showdown on capitol hill. Republicans hope to get a vote on health care today. The latest details straight ahead. Plus this. After careful deliberation i have concluded i cannot support Neil Gorsuchs nomination to the Supreme Court. The democrats in attack mode saying theyll filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of neil gorsuch. Can the republicans overcome it or will they have to take the nuclear openings. Those are questions for senator Lindsey Graham. Hes on deck straight ahead. Theres nothing more important to me than my vacation. 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 if my plans change. Visit booking. Com. Booking. Yeah. Ed fox news alert the house preparing for a make or break vote after President Trump told republicans the time for negotiation is over and saying they had a choice of voting for his bill or being stuck with obamacare. Right now Republican Leaders are scrambling for the yes votes and could be a nailbiter on the house floor this afternoon. Shannon and there is another big headline on capitol hill besides health care. Senate democrats making it official saying theyll filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of neil gorsuch. As for republicans possibly resorting to the Nuclear OptionSenate Minority leader schumer said dont think about it. To my friends if he fails to reach 60 votes we ought to change the rules. If this nominee cannot reach 60 votes a bar met by each of president obamas nominees and george bushs last two nominee the answer isnt to change the rules its to change the nominee. Shannon joining me now Lindsey Graham of south carolina. You question the nominee neil gorsuch intensely and you like him and you have voted for their nominees and say its time for them to suck it up essentially. In terms of the qualifications of neil gorsuch i voted for alito, sotomayor and hes as qualified as those and hes been a circuit judge ten and a half years and has been reversed one time by the Supreme Court and everybody in the circuit voted with him and 99 of the time he was in the majority. The American Bar Association gave him their highest rating. A 900page report over500 lawyers have interacted with this judge and give him an a rating and President Trump made a selection and senator schumer has become i think a Destructive Force for the United States senate when he filibustered bushs nomination. This about the left taking over the Democrat Party and this man is as mainstream a judge as youll ever find on the conservative side. We could not have picked a nor qualified nominee and i voted for obama nominees because i think theyre qualified. The democrats changed the rules in 2013 to jam the Circuit Court with a bunch of obama nominees disallowing republicans to have input. If they filibuster this man well have no other option but to change the rules because if we dont that means President Trump can never make a selection to the Supreme Court and i will not allow that to happen. Shannon this is what the minority leader says about neil gorsuch hes not a legal mind but somebody with a deepseeded ideology. We had several democrats come out saying theyll be a no. I want to ask you about the rumor of the potential deal whether its legit or not. The democrats have come forward and said ok we wont force you to 60 votes on this if the next nominee who comes up you wont go nuclear. Has that been offered. Is that a deal anybodys considered taking . The criticism of neil gorsuch is political theatre because theyre willing to go forward if they can control the process down the road. What they did in 2013 is take the republicans out of the game when obama was president by changing the rules when they had the majority in the senate and a democratic president. The Democratic Party who senator schumer and harry reid changed the rules for the Circuit Court. Theres never been a case in the history of the Supreme Court a person denied a floor vote to be on the court whos reported out of the committee in 200 years except one time both democrat and republicans filibustered and he withdrew because of ethical problems. What senator schumer is doing is changing 200 years of precedent in the senate because he cant stand the pressure from the left. Thats sad. I hope some members of the conversation conference wont allow this. Shannon you need eight. Any chance you get them . When i voted for sotomayor and kaggen i got beat up at home and what i will tell them then and told democrats now i respect the outcome of elections. I didnt vote for president obama but he won and i thought sotomayor and kaggen were liberal but highly qualified and the record of neil gorsuch is one of the best in the judiciary bar none. Shannon youre saying if they force the 60vote threshold theyll change the rules for good. Im telling my democratic friends i took a beating for doing what was best for the judiciary. I didnt vote for President Trump but he won and he picked a home run nominee in neil gorsuch. If i have to ill make sure he gets to pick like obama got to pick and if it takes changing the rules it will be a sad day for me but were not going to let them get all the judge they want and we never get any. Thats not fair. Shannon first, im sad i didnt vote for President Trump. Ill let that go but quickly were out of time, i want to ask about the fight on health care on the house side. Youre saying if they dont get it right let obamacare collapse. Is that a good strategy for the gop . I think the bill theyre producing in the house doesnt really make things a whole lot better. I dont understand it. Theyre threatening people to vote yes and bribing the new york delegation with medicare changes to vote yes. The one thing i can tell the Republican Party none of us voted for obamacare but if you vote for the bill it becomes your bill and it becomes trumpcare and rather than replacing obamacare with a bill i dont think will help the problem much at all in some ways make it work just let obamacare collapse and challenge the democrats to come in and help us fix the mess theyve created. Its better for the country at the end of the day, President Trumps going to be judged by the outcome of the legislation and what i see in the house i dont think the legislation will move the ball in the right direction. Shannon well see if it moves at all. Senator graham, good to see you. Have a good weekend. Ed the notion maybe you let it fail as President Trump has been suggesting and then the country says, well, we have to pick up the pieces and maybe theres momentum behind President Trump coming up with reform that works where theres a split in the Republican Party. Shannon a number of folks in the Republican Party say its not an option because it may be politically feasible but not the right thing to do with real people and have lives that need treatment. Ed the vote is looming in the house. Gop leaders pushing to repeal and replace. President trump said it has to be done to save americans from obamacare. Well speak to an architect of the bill dr. Ezekial emanuel and well speak to Marsha Blackburn. The president has left nothing and this is the same way he campaigned. He went to the 11th hour and made the case to the American People and he won and i think well see the same level success is it comes to this effort as well. Ed a do or die moment for the gops Health Care Bill as debate begins on the house you can see them on the house floor now. And moderate holdouts say it would increase the number of in insured. President trump stepping up the pressure on twitter. After seven years of obamacare he wrote skyrocketing premiums and deductibles around health care its your chance for a great plan. The idea is Freedom Caucus which is prolife and against planned parenthood allows it to continue if they stop the plan. Lets bring in tennessee congresswoman Marsha Blackburn. Where are you on this . What were looking at now, ed, is a bill i would say is trending towards a yes. I was pleased at language i have that would halt the medicaid expansion, the prolife language you just mentioned are provisions included in the bill and i think one thing we as conservatives want to see we know this is important for the president. He wants to push forward with getting these taxes off the books. He wants to push forward with the repeal of obamacare and one of the things were focussing on today is how this vote is going to effect him and the balance of his agenda and the balance of our agenda. Tax reform, broadband expansion and infrastructure all those things. Ed on that agenda a key item of course is tax reform, tax cuts, trying to boost the economy and what do you do in connection with all that. The president s sort of saying if youre moving towards a yes it suggests to me maybe the suggestion is working. Thats how you look at the conference and the way the vote is moving. People i talked to this morning are talking more in materials of getting to a yes and feel the elimination of the essential Health Benefits coming out of the bill it helps with that. And they understand the president would have a certain amount of frustration with individuals and with the conference. He has engaged in this. He has tried to help with negotiating this package and what he would like to see is passage of this move to the senate and see the house begin the process with tax reform, be successful with that and then getting into those other infrastructure items, securing the border. And ill say this for any constituents rebuilding the u. S. Military which is any emphasis theyve come to me with every single week. Ed you wont be surprised nancy pelosi the top democrat in the house disagrees with you. Heres what she said about President Trump said. He may be a great negotiator. Were clearly not ready. Ed wow. This whole law seven years back nancy pelosi saying we had to pass it to see whats in it and now saying this new president s a rookie. What nancy pelosi does not realize is that we dont pass bills and then go read them and figure out what is in them because all the power in that obamacare bill was given to the secretary of hhs. 1,237 times. What we do when a piece of legislation that hits our desk if we dont like whats in it we go to work amending it, collaborating with colleagues and Building Momentum for making those changes and i articulated the medicaid expansion, halting that and the prolife language clarified in this bill. Those are important concepts. We as republicans have a tendency to work more in the public eye. Ive been taking phone calls in my office. Im hearing from constituents. Some are for, some are against, some who now like the changes theyre hearing. Ed lets get to the nose count. Youre telling us news youre moving towards yes and you feel momentum. And are colleagues suggesting to you are they moving towards yes number one and is this going to pass today . Yes, i think youll see the bill pass. When the bill comes up for the vote as it is in its current state youre going to see lots of conservatives who are going to stand up and vote for this. Steve king sent out a memo yesterday. He is a yes. We have worked diligently to make the bill better and well be there voting yes for the bill to support the process and support our president. Ed we appreciate it. News today from Marsha Blackburn saying hes moving towards yes and putting it on the line it will pass. Well have you back next week. Byebye. Shannon will be a nailbiter. In another story, hes charged with brutal crimes against two women and a small child and hes no stranger to immigration officials. Far from it. How could this happen . Thats up next. Ed about 300 people were on a train and everyone digging deep for more details and checking for safety of everyone on the train. Well give you more information soon as we know it. Shannon a suspect in the series of brutal of crimes is gang member and illegal immigrant deported four times. Hes accused of stabbing two women and sexually assaulting a 2yearold girl. A shocking story. It really is, shannon. Here at the headquarters the Police Commissioner said its the most heinous act hes seen in his 20 years on the force. The suspect as you described is a reported member of the notorious salvadoran gang and well look another look at him 31yearold Tommy Ventura was known for a series of crimes over the years and investigators say he should have never been back in this country. He was deported in five years four times and since 2011 hes wandered the streets of Nassau County and thats deeply disturbing. You have a little baby who just talking about this makes me nauseous, a little baby who will never recover from the injuries hes endured at the hands of this monster. While details of his past deportations are not known one was related to criminal convictions assault and, dui and does disorderly conduct. He assaulted the 2yearold daughter of his during his Violent Crime spree and got into an argument with a 24yearold woman with a drug deal the same night at a local bar stabbing her several times and once confronted by his girlfriend back at home over his daughters injuries he stabbed her. The little girl and women are in the hospital and still recovering from their injuries. He has pled not guilty in his initial appearance. Hell be back in court monday. We have reached out to federal immigration authorities for comment on the case. Were still waiting to hear a reply back. Shannon well check back with you when you get it. Thank you very much. Ed meanwhile the Keystone Pipeline getting the green light after years of delays, road blocks. President trump set to make a major announcement about the project. Plus, it is decision day for the Health Care Bill. Do republicans have the votes . Chris wallace will join us live on that and the political fallout from the showdown.

Com makes finding the right hotel for the right price easy. Visit booking. Com now to find out why were booking. Yeah shannon it is crunch time on capitol hill today. House republicans hoping to vote or their plan to replace obamacare. Most of them are as were awaiting comments from the president at the white house. Every minute its a different show. Ed it keeps breaking Marsha Blackburn saying hes leaning towards yes and her colleagues are. Well see if it proves to be true. Shannon welcome to americas newsroom. Im Shannon Bream in more martha maccallum. Ed im ed henry. The pressure is on as the president says its now or never. Fox news sunday host is standing by but we begin with our chief Congressional Correspondent on capitol hill. Theres a lot of coulds. Senior advisors are pushing and Mick Mulvaney was the messenger to say to House Republicans today is the day to vote. A source familiar says mulvaney was asked what happens if it fails and he said quote, it means were stuck with obamacare and if it fails the Administration Says its planning to move on to tax reform so here we go. Mr. Mulvaney made it clear the president is done negotiating. This is a conservative package that lowers costs and at his request and the leaderships were moving forward with the vote. After countless meetings and phone calls with different members and various groups of lawmakers the team said theyve done the work and we kept the promise to do the work to repeal and replace obamacare and now is the time to get it done. Ed we just had Marsha Blackburn on live a key conservative who said the pressure has worked with her and her colleagues in private saying theyre moving towards yes. Thats good news for the white house but i imagine theres other conservatives where that kind of pressure can boomerang. No question. Some say the numbers are heading in the right direction towards passage. Some are saying the pressure of moving on to tax reform and leaving obamacare in place is adding pressure. Conservatives like Thomas Massey from kentucky are not impressed tweeting, if they tell the legislative branch when to vote and when how to vote and what if will be allowed to work on is that a republic. Another conservative isnt reacting well to the president s ultimatum. Hes never had to deal with people 100 honest and knew what they were talking about when they helped him make a contract. This bill was prepared on a false premise and hes never had to deal with that before. I know its got to be tough for him. I was told last night the vote was on the house floor between 2 00 to 4 00 and if that holds and thats an if it could be added pressure. Ed a lot of coulds and ifs. Mike emanuel sorting it out. Shannon Chris Wallace host of Fox News Sunday. Have you seen this before . This is why we get in the business its exciting and its playing out front of us and no one knows how it will turn out. Look, President Trump is the great negotiator and part of negotiating is preparing to walk away and thats the last step when you havent gotten what you want saying its not everything you want but better that be nothing and are you repaired for nothing and some conservatives are upset it doesnt go far enough. Well see whether theyre prepared to go for nothing instead. Shannon hows this impact him Going Forward whether they pull the bill or it fails or passes and everybody said genius the negotiating was fantastic. Where do we go from here you have the tax reform and the debt ceiling looming. So things to get done. Lets take the two scenarios, first it passes. Hell get credit for the masterous stroke and then when it go to the senate and a Top Republican senator said its nowhere near getting the majority of republicans it would need to pass there so that will be more negotiation and time and if it gets through its good for the president but if it gets to the senate hell have hurt his agenda further. If it fails therell be plenty of blame to go around. Particularly speaker ryan he had the legislative agenda and said heres the schedule, start with obamacare. People at the white house are second guessing that now. Therell be second guessing of house conservative whos said for seven and a half years give us a republican president and well repeal obamacare and now theyll have to explain why they were unable to and as i say i think in the long run he just wasnt willing to spend another two weeks in the house given the fact hell have a battle in the senate and let this eat up his agenda. Shannon all right. This takes me back to weeks ago when senator rand paul a vociferous critic said they were pulling the wool over their eyes and said the president was being played. We thought for a while there was daylight between the president and speaker. It seemed to have tightened up the last week but do you think what senator paul said had truth to it . They have a lot of smart people in the white house. Have you Mick Mulvaney head of the budget a member of congress until a few weeks ago. Tom price who was a member of congress until he was named to be the head of health and human services. They know whats going on in the house. I dont think the president didnt have good advice to how tough the fight was going to be. The interesting question will be if this fails will the president turn on ryan. At this point theyre saying no, absolutely not. Lots of members of the white house staff are saying this is ryans false. If youre throwing ryan overboard and remember this is the same House Republican caucus that kicked out john boehner as speaker who would replace him and would he have more ability to herd the cats to get a working majority. It was the problem with boehner and with ryan. They dont have a working majority 218 republicans to pass everything. Shannon the president came in as the song says like a wrecking ball and has done things totally different in washington and were hearing what the omb director said if it doesnt pass were done with health care. Theyve been running on this since 2010 since the bill got passed. Do you think the white house will really walk away from this . Do you think the hill will walk away from it if it doesnt work . Absolutely. Theres no better answer. If you start over it would eat up more time and i think the president im not sure, look, he talked about obamacare in every speech but his time concern is two issues. One the economy to get it going again. I think he believes tax reform and infrastructure will be very important to doing that and immigration and theyll be tough fights as well. Theres a lot of competing interests among republicans on those. I dont think hes going to go down this road and try and chase obamacare again. Look, as he has said it may be from a political point of view it would have been better just to let obamacare collapse as he believes and a lot of republicans do and then it makes it an easier haul to fix it. I think hed take that path. Go for the economic issues, let obamacare do what happens to it and see whether its an easier haul in a year. Chris wallace, always good to see you. This say great day. If you like politics and not knowing whats going to happen is very exciting. Shannon it really is. Us wonky nerds love it and we love you chris. Good to see you. Thank you. Shannon do not miss Fox News Sunday the Health Care Battle will be a hot topic and hell speak to the Prime Minister of iraq about the battle against isis. You do not want to miss that 10 00 am here sunday on the fox news channel. Ed great day for who, mr. Wallace . Some Republican Leaders dont think so and devin nunes expecting answers from the nsa today involving his claim that the Obama Administration was spying on the trump Transition Team. Heres devin nunes in his own words last night. The dissemination was far and wide and like i said before it appears to me it was all legal. The question is should it have been done in the first place, did it meet foreign intelligence value and secondly were any other american names unmasked and i have information that says there were. Ed a big story. For more lets bring in catherine herridge. Good to see you. The request goes back to march and the nsa has provided information with the rest expected today while the fbi has not responded. Theres dozens of in intelligence reports from if he russia probe and the information was about the trump team and it was emphasised the nsa was not list to their phone calls. Its foreigner talking to foreigner about their encounters and their discussions and information they had on the trump Transition Team. And the president elect himself. The republican chairman devin influence called for an aggressive probe into the leaking of americans names. As part of our investigation to make sure we do try to find who was at least knowledgeable of the information that eventually got leaked. The next public hearing is scheduled for tuesday with Senior Intelligence officials and Deputy Attorney general under president obama. Fox news was told the list of witnesses are fluid and changes are anticipated. Ed what about the backlash from the democrats . They say its suspicious and saying the committee would soon get new information related to the wiretapping allegation. The committees ranking democrat went on abc and said the chairmans decision to discuss this damaged the probe. We may need to do a real investigation of this and need to do it credibly in a nonpartisan way and we cant have our chair acting this way. As we learn more about the documents and whether they further prove surveillance by the last administration well update you at that time, ed. Ed thank you, catherine. Shannon President Trump saying vote for the Health Care Bill for deal with obamacare. 2017 would be a disaster for obamacare. Thats the year it was meant to have slowed because thats when it was supposed to be shannon can anyone argue obamacare can sustain itself asis . Well speak to the plans architect dr. Ezekiel emanuel next. Ed and new details on two Illegal Immigrants accused of raping a 14yearold girl. An attorney of one of the accused saying the claims are simply not true. Have you thought through the moral consequences i know you play a role and im glad defense lawyers exist but before you say that do you think man, im putting my soul on the line a little bit. Do you have those thoughts to yourself . Im a human being and i have all those thoughts. Two become one. Then youre a couple. Think of all youll share. Like snoring. Does your bed do that . The dual adjustability of a sleep number bed allows you each to choose the firmness and comfort you want. So every couple can get the best sleep ever. Does your bed do that .

Tomorrows the day besides video games. Every day is a gift. Especially for people with Heart Failure. But today theres entresto. A breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. Tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. In the largest Heart Failure study ever, entresto was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading Heart Failure medicine. Women who are pregnant must not take entresto. It can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. Dont take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. If youve had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, dont take entresto. The most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. Tomorrow, im gonna step out with my favorite girl. Ask your doctor about entresto. And help make the gift of tomorrow possible. Chris wallace saying what a great day for political report. Democrats may think its a great day as well holding up the signs on the house bill and you see their fired up. They think they think republicans on the ropes on repealing and replacing obamacare. On the other hand, maybe not a great day for speaker ryan and the Republican Leaders as they try to pull this together. This is an ultimatum from President Trump. Saying look, you get this done the balls in your court. Otherwise im moving on after you promised the American People youll repeal and replace obamacare, im moving on to the rest of my agenda. Shannon fridays are usually quiet and we have other news to tell you about as well. Were hearing devin nunes will speak at 10 30. Hes been talking about evidence or information he has seen that potentially suggests there is some kind of surveillance has taken place with the trump team or incidentals of picking up things from the trump team and there may be some kind of smoking gun to come out on that front and will speak at 10 30. Well take you there live as soon as that happens. An attorney for an accused of the rape of a 14yearold in maryland saying its not a case of rape. The evidence we have is this was a consensual encounter. Between two guys and a 14yearold girl in a High School Bathroom pardon me if im astonished youd be bold enough to assert Something Like that. It seems insane. It seems horrible that would occur in our schools and our community but it has nothing to do with being forced, coerced or illegal. Shannon were live in rockville, maryland with more. What are the political ramifications of the defense teams claim . Its going to in flame tensions in the community more than they are. Its already happening. The defense team as you just saw there perfectly represented in the exchange the contrasting points of view. The defense team wants to remind everybody theres the detail in the u. S. Constitution the presumption of innocence and theres been a profound rush to judgment of their client and the long knives and pitchforks are out and believe their client Henry Sanchez millin is in owe vent. Heres a defense attorney. It seems the physical evidence is not there. Theres no scratches, no bruises, no injuries like this and this is a bathroom in the middle of the day where it doesnt appear she was screaming and other kids apparently saw them going in. I think hell tell the jury his story and im confident 12 citizens in Montgomery County will find him not guilty. As you can well imagine thats not the perspective of the Police Department saying they have plenty of evidence a crime was committed. Theres plenty of evidence of a rape and sex assault. Its clear there was no consent in this whatsoever. Some have suggested there is a case of statutory rape given sanchez was 18 and the alleged victim was only 14 but not in the state of maryland which required the fouryear separation and the separation was three years and some months some short of statutory requirement in the state of maryland. Shannon thank you very much. Ed a lot breaking this morning as weve been talking about. Were suddenly hearing the chairman of the house Intelligence Committee devin nunes will speak at 10 30 about nine minutes from now. We only know it will be about the topic of russia. He suggested there was indeed surveillance by the Obama Administration on the Trump Administration team and the nsa may be turning over new information to the intel panel and devin nunes was spotted leaving the office of Speaker Paul Ryan as if hed just briefed him. We will see what new information he has moments from now. Safety isnt a list of boxes to check. Its taking the best technologies out there and adapting them to work for you. The ultrasound that can see inside patients, can also detect early signs of corrosion at our refineries. Hightech military cameras that see through walls, can inspect our pipelines to prevent leaks. Remotecontrolled aircraft, can help us identify potential problems and stop them in their tracks. At bp, safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. Obamacare breaking this hour as republicans on capitol hill are working right now to try to repeal and replace the law and opponents say its clear the Affordable Care act is failing and its time democrats and others support that and we spoke to dr. Ezekiel emanuel on the topic. Thank you for joining us. I see chaos among republicans on capitol hill today uncertain if they can repeal, let alone replace obamacare. I imagine as one of the architects of obamacare youre delighted with the developments. Look, i think i dont support the speakers bill. Its a bad bill and leave 24 million in uninsured and but im pragmatic. We need to make sure we have fixes to make the market work better and need cost control to Keep Health Care costs and drug costs down. Thats where i think theres bipartisan agreement. Ive long said we need to move not to a partisan place as the speaker has tried to do and ram through a bill that has only republican support but get to a bipartisan bill thats good for america. Ed you met with the president on monday. What do you think on his view to say if they cant get it passed hell shell it for now and obamacare will stay in place and hell move on to tax reform . Thats what the president says. I still think well have to do something on health care. Remember, health care is 17. 5 of the economy. You cant just ignore it. You have to tend to it. Theres other pieces of legislation and we have to bring drug costs down which the president has reaffirmed over and over again and the importance of bringing Health Care Premiums down whether youre on the left or right agrees to. That should have been the focus. What paul ryan has proposed is basically a big tax cut for the rich and Cutting HealthCare Insurance for the poor. That doesnt signed like a bipartisan deal for me. Ed ive given you a chance to prescribe what is wrong with speaker ryans plan but lets look at obamacare and whats in place. You heard this over and over from the president and others premium hikes for arizona 116 and oklahoma 69 and pennsylvania 53 . How in the world can you argue that if we leave the current law in place chis is a good deal for the American People . I notice you never said anything about indiana where the premiums are going down or massachusetts where the premiums are going down. You only picked the ones good for you. Ed its 116 of an increase. You know thats not a good deal. I said there are some issues that need to be fixed. Its important to say as the congressional budget of the said the insurance exchanges arent collapsing. In the doesnt mean we cant fix things but the price increases goes back to marco rubio. They took away risk corridors and insurance and in speaker ryans bill they add them back with 100 billion bailout, thats the republican word for these things. They took it out just to make president obama look bad. They did it for political reasons. Structurally we want to help americans we put that reinsurance back in and it could be a bipartisan approach. Ed didnt president obama make himself look bad as he said you want to keep your doctor for, you can keep your doctor and want to keep your plan, keep your plan but as an architect of obamacare you gave the americans the goodies on the end so they can talk about 26 and 25 year olds to stay on your parent parents plan and now the plan is in trouble. Youre misrepresenting reality. The Congressional Budget Office looked at the fiscal stant stability of the Affordable Care act and will reduce the deficit 350 billion more than speaker ryans plan if youre looking to see if its fiscally stable or responsible it does a better job than speaker ryans plan. Ed you gave the American People all the goodies up front and covered millions of people and said these guys can stay on the plan all the good things but not the tab is stuck not at all. The tab Going Forward is stable. We have revenues coming up and we have made substantial savings in medicare and medicaid about 500 billion of savings in medicare and medicaid and quite fiscally stable your claim the goodies were up front is false. The taxes were levied right away and people are the rich, the top 1 are paying for expansion of coverage and thats the way it should be. The Insurance Companies and Drug Companies are paying for expansion of coverage because theyre making more profits on more people getting insurance and being able to use insurance and drugs. Thats a fair way of going. If youre making more profits you should pay something for it and we think that was a fair way. We did not front load it with goodie false. Ed you said if they cant move this bill maybe theyll go through smaller chunks and find ways both parties can agree on. Do you see a path forward where instead of a grand big repeal and replace that maybe this can be done in bite size and both sides can come together . Im not the politician to break it up in how you make legislation but theres overlap and drug costs, cost control and getting more people on coverage and making premiums more affordable and come to reasonable policies. This bill has nothing on cost control and thats one of the chief problems of this bill. They put nothing in there about the reduced Overall Health care costs. The essential benefits is not about reducing costs its about Cost Shifting. Making people who will deliver babies pay the full price for Maternity Care rather than distributing the price across a wide population. Thats not price savings thats Cost Shifting to the mothers. Thats hardly a familyfriendly, familyvalues approach. Ed dr. Emanuel thank you for joining us. Thank you. Shannon well go to the chair of the house Intelligence Committee devin nunes and allegations there was develop on surveillance on the trump team lets listen in. Today will be a wild day with the votes and i wanted to get information to you as quickly as possible as i always committed to all of you. I have four announcements this morning. The first is that yesterday ranking members schiff and i agreed to request the fbi brief the full committee on information regarding the ongoing counterintelligence investigation that had been previously limited to mr. Schiff and myself. That was an agreement we reached yesterday. Secondly, the committee will ask director comey and admiral rodgers to appear in close session and postpone the previous hearing to make time for them and the Committee ReceivedAdditional Information that can only be addressed in closed session. Thirdly and i know a lot of you are wondering about the documents were supposed to receive today, i will say the nsa has kept us completely informed the entire time and fully cooperating. Its possible well receive documents today from the nsa as requested but i want to caution i dont expect the entirety of everything we need today so i would hope by early next week well have a better accounting of what the nsa is able to provide us. Im telling you that just so you know youre not you dont need to hang out down here because we wont have any more information on those today. Lastly and fourthly yesterday the council for Paul Manafort contacted the committee yesterday to offer the committee the opportunity to interview his client. We think thank mr. Manafort for volunteering and encourage others to voluntarily interview with the committee. Those are the four things i wanted to alert you of this morning. And so stay tuned for more. Reporter congressman, does Paul Manaforts name appear in the new files you have received . No. The documents i viewed this week, no. Reporter followup, please. Are you recalling director comey because you believe he was not forthcoming in his earlier testimony based on the new documents . I think there are just questions that we have for director comey and admiral rodgers probably they just couldnt answer in a public setting but its necessary to get both of them back down here before we can move on to other interviews. Reporter i want to be clear on this, so you are recalling them not on the basis of the new documents . That is correct. Not on to the basis of documents i have seen and hoping to get today or over the weekend or first part of next week from nsa and other agencies. Reporter will it be an open session . He voluntarily offered to come to the committee. Well work it out. Our lawyers, republicans and democrats will work with his lawyers to see what exactly he wants to do. If he wants to have a public hearing hes more than welcome to do that but if he wants to do it in a closed setting thats also fine with me. Reporter you said one reason you briefed the president because hes been taking a lot of heat in the news media. What do you mean by that . Im stating the obvious. Reporter in the documents you reviewed, how many names were unmasked . I dont know that yet. I am aware of to be clear there was additional unmasking done in the documents i read the other day. I dont know who asked for this. I dont know who asked for them to be unmasked i just know there are more. Now, just so you know, i was aware of the unmasking before i read the documents. Reporter there was a suggestion it was just one or the unmasking may have been done for appropriate reasons. I think im the only one thats seen the documents as far as i know and i can tell you we have i knew about the unmasking before i read the documents and ill leave it at that. [off mic] it did. Reporter was there a whistleblower within the nsa . As you know and ive said this several times we dont talk about sources at this committee. We want more people to come forward. The good thing is that we have continued to have people come forward voluntarily to this committee and we want to continue that and ill tell you that will not happen if we tell you who are sources are and people that come to the committee. Reporter as far as a whistleblower or just someone who wants to be im not going to get into that. We want people to come forward and we will protect the identity of those people at all costs. Reporter are you going to brief on the expanse of what youve seen. I was hoping to get the documents today. It doesnt sound like well get a full accounting of those but hopefully today or over the weekend or earlier in the week. There were letters due march 15. Reporter the one your source gave you . We wont the letter should encompass everything ive seen. Reporter do you believe what you have uncovered is validation of the tweets released a couple weeks ago . I think ive been clear there was no as a matter of fact there ive been clear there was no wiretapping of trump tour tower. Reporter the press conference may have been orchestrated by the white house can you categorically deny it . Yes, were you here on wednesday. I came out here and told you all that i was going to go to the white house. I had talked to the white house. My staff had talked to the white house earlier that day to request a meeting with the president and id not talked to the president before that. Reporter can you clarify whether trump and his associates were monitored or mentioned in the reports . We wont know that until we receive all the documentation. Its hard to know where the information came from until you get the reports and have time to go through them and see all the sourcing of the documents. I wont speculate until we get them all because there were dozens of reports. Reporter are you going to start a separate having or separate from the Russian Investigation . I dont know about that yet. Its all in the scope of what were looking at in terms of unmasking of names, leaks, its all in that same body. If we have to section it off and look at it a different way we will but we havent got to that yet. [inaudible] there are reasons to unmask names i can tell you without question at least some of what ive seen i dont know what that reason would be. Maybe someone has a good reason for it but not from what ive been able to read. A couple more questions. Reporter you did not brief or rule out the white house was the source behind your documents. Can you categorically youve asked this question many many times and ill continue to say the same thing, you can ask me every single name that exists on the planet and i still wont tell you who our sources are. Reporter is there a suspicion this looks to surveil a trump associate as i said the other day it appears like this was all legal. Ok, it all looks like legal surveillance from what i can tell but until i get the documents im not sure. Reporter who would have the authority to pull the trigger on the creation of these intelligence reports . They look like for the most part i think the reports i read for the most part are valuable intelligence however, i think there are just questions in those reports i wonder does reach that threshold of foreign intelligence and then you have to ask why were names unmasked. Reporter just a followup, please. If this does not seem out of the ordinary to you was this widely disseminated . Theres some information in those documents that concern me in the reports that i read they dont think belong there. It would make me uncomfortable and thats why i wanted to inform the president of it. Thats one issue. Secondly, theres the issue of unmasking, additional unmasking and thats of most concern to me. Reporter its a very big week for the committee a hearing on monday and can you summarize what the committee has accomplished this week . As you know this is not an easy process because theres politics on both sides and im trying to navigate as best as i can. I can say what weve been very successful at is we have people that continue to come forward to provide us information and we want that to continue and the only way we can do that as long as we provide an avenue that the public or others can come to the committee that want to offer information on this investigation so we would still encourage whistleblowers to come forward, people who have information whether its top secret or not or people who are read their name in a press article are welcomed to come forward and be interviewed. As i said we heard from mr. Manafort yesterday. [inaudible] its not for me to do. Reporter you cannot tell whether the communication directly involves a trump associate or two foreign targets communicating . It was mr. Trump and his Transition Team. Reporter you heard from mr. Manafort will you call him to testify publicly . If they want to i dont know that yet. We have to work that out with mr. Manaforts legal council. Well allow people to come forward in whatever manner they want to come forward especially if theyre willing to come in freely. As for the other names i dont have theres many names mentioned by several members of congress and all of you. As you said before we wont get into a neomccarthyism era where we start bringing in americans because they were mentioned in a press story and im highly concerned about that. If people want to come in freely, well do that. As for additional witnesses ill work with mr. Schiff and ill have witnesses and mr. Schiff will have witnesses and our lawyers and staff are talking to how we move to phase two and once the lawyers agree mr. Schiff and i will sign off on it. Were asking mr. Comey and rodgers to come back in and that time slot were hopeful theyll be able to come in next tuesday in that time slot so all the members have a chance to interview them and hold a hearing in both sessions. [inaudible] its for what i said. [inaudible] its nice. Reporter theres a claim of only one unmasking. I wont get into specifics of that. [inaudible] well find out when we get the information. Im quite sure and ill leave it at that. Reporter about mr. Yates. We encourage others to come forward freely. Thank you. [inaudible] were at the beginning of this. I wanted to inform you that mr. Manafort volunteered to come in freely. Ed the is president is speaking talking health care. I appreciate it. Thank you. Ed so at the end it was hard to hear should paul ryan stay on as speaker if the Health Care Fails and the president hard to make out but said yes. Shannon theyre working in tandem as a team sort of as a team hand and glove. Well see because paul ryan has the heavy lifting on the hill whipping together the bill and getting the vote and they seemed determine to move ahead but again still has his vote of confidence. Ed we had Marsha Blackburn and others saying as a key conservative shes moving to a left. Some of her conservative colleagues moving to a yes and mike emanuel reporting other conservatives still not sold and heres the president a moment ago saying well see what happens. Thats not super confident. Hes trying to figure out where we are on all this and about the Keystone Pipeline. Shannon well play the president on keystone but very important there was that live remark we heard from the house Intelligence Committee chairman devin nunes full of interesting nuggets recalling the fbi director. Ed and the nsa he said is cooperating turning over some documents maybe today as james rosen was first reporting but some may slide to next week and interesting Paul Manaforts lawyer is offering to testify. Heres the president on keystone. You ready . Everybody afraid of live television. Ready . Thank you very much for being here this morning. Today im pleased to announce the official approval of the president ial permit for the keystone xl pipeline. Transcanada will finally be allowed to complete this long overdue project with efficiency and with speed. Well working out the final details as we speak. Its going to be an incredible pipeline. Greatest technology known to man or woman. And frankly were very proud of it. Russ gerling the president of transcanada is right behind me and hell say a few words. I know russ, youve been waiting for a long time and i hope you dont pay your consultants anything because they didnt have to do with the approval in fact you should ask for the millions back because they didnt do a thing. Its a great day for american jobs and historic moment for north america and energy independence. This announcement is part of a new era of American Energy policy and reduce dependence on foreign oil and increase jobs in america and i think its safer to have lines than use other forms of transportation for your product. When completed the keystone xl pipeline will span 900 miles and have the capacity to deliver 800,000 barrels of oil a day to the gulf coast refineries. The fact is this 8 billion investment in American Energy was delayed so long demonstrates how our government has too often failed its citizens and companies over the past period of time. Today we begin to make things right and to do things right. Today we put america first. As the keystone xl pipeline now moves forward its the first of many Infrastructure Projects my administration will approve and we have already approved a couple big ones well be announcing soon in order to help put americans back to work, grow our economy and rebuild our nation. And with that id like to invite russ to say a few words. Russ is a highly respected man in the energy world. Hes president of transcanada and i know youll do a fantastic job and get it up and hire plenty of American People. Thank you. Russ. Thank you, mr. President. Shannon joining us to discuss so many things going on in washington, karl rove former White House Deputy chief of staff for george w. Bush and Fox News Contributor. Thats start with health care. The president said theyll forge ahead on this and said the failed Speaker Paul Ryan is still the guy and the speaker on the hill. Well get ready in a little while later today to watch the votes roll in. How critical is this for the brand new Trump Administration . Very critical. If the Republican Health care proposal goes down then the discord inside the Congressional Republican ranks will be severe. Therell be a lot of fingerpointing and impact the president s ability to move forward whether its tax reform or Immigration Reform or infrastructure or the budget. And well have a lot of battles ahead and therell an element of the Republican Party in the house to say we survived and we told the president we wouldnt be with him on health care and we can tell him we will not be with him on other issues as well. Shannon why do you feel it appears theyre good and sticking together on highprofile issues and critics will say on some things that are critical theres so much infighting and they cant get it together . Theres an element of it has to be perfect or im voting with the democrats. They said well, we need to have the president the president needs to give us language on getting rid of whats called essential benefits. This laundry list of ten things that have to be on every insurance policy and they give them that and they say, well, thats not enough we need to get rid of the provision that said Insurance Companies cannot limit how much they spend over the life of a policy for someone with a serious illness and you need to eliminate preexisting illness condition. Two popular elements of the Affordable Care act which are on the edge of the Affordable Care act. Theyre not at the center or the 700 billion worth of exchanges. Theres not the hundreds of billions in medicare expansion. Theres not the trillion in taxes. Theres provisions on the side that suddenly the said we Freedom Caucus said we got one thing and the white house saying its on you if it fails. Shannon some feel they dont think it brings down the cost of premiums and makes health care more accessible and not what they promised their constituents in 2010 and 2014 and they now control the house and white house and if they cant deliver they wont vote on something against their principles. Theyre right they wont decrease premiums as you phase out the exchange. Last year when the republicans voted for a complete repeal measure there was was going to be no downward decline in the premiums for the Obamacare Exchanges because theyre broken. They have too many older less Healthy People and too few younger healthier people. Thats why premiums keep going up and as long as the exchanges are in existence the premiums will continue to go up. Theres nothing you can do except subsidize those and vote to repeal them though it does nothing on the premiums because its a broken system that wont work. They voted for it. Now they say we cant vote for it. Thats political pros posturing. Obamacare is a bad law and if youre in the exchange the premiums will be going up double digits an average of 25 . What matters is if you get out of the system the premiums go down which is what the cbo said would happen. Shannon well see what happens on the house floor in a couple hours. Karl rove. Its exciting. Ed your thoughts on live events were over, no. We heard from devin nunes and were expecting adam schiff to speak to reporters in moments. Theyre voting on the rule that would get the actual healthcare bill to the floor. Got to do that first. Looks like they have the yeas at 220. Looks like them ee get the rule through. That doesnt mean the bill gets through. But the first step, maybe positive right now. And the story moving right along. After seven years of demanding obamacares repeal, republicans face a moment of truth. After fox news learned President Trump told lawmakers hes through talking, take the plan on the table or stick with obamacare. Welcome to happening now im jenna lee. Nice to be with you at home as we watch the deal made i ee Leland Vittert in for jon scott. This is one of the rules votes that just went through. This is not actually the American Healthcare act that republicans want. That vote
