because he felt his testimony this week have not been forthcoming. he said no, it is based on the new record that it needs to be in a classified setting because it is sensitive. eric: very quickly, i ve got to go, but with these clapper and meetings, we can all hear the way they are answering? that is a good question two. the original plan was to have them publicly testify, that is now going to be rescheduled, and it is not clear, at least based on our reporting, whether that may be private too. it s going to depend a lot on what comes out of that hearing on tuesday. going to have to watch and wait. eric: absolutely paid to the best reality tv you can think of. catherine, thank you so much better now let s bring in from washington, gillian turner, a former national security staffer, along with lieutenant colonel schaefer, senior member at the center for policy research. let s start with you. let s unpack this a little bit, there seems to be a lot of misinformation, disinformation
health care? the american people still have a desire to hear about health care. who knows how long. i think legislators can walk and chew gum hopefully at the same time, so why don t we do both? why don t we set up a special committee eric: senator, absolutely. so many people ask, why don t they do both? why does it have to be one at a time? and here s my suggestion to the white house. get the freedom caucus in there. could the house leadership in there. get senate leaders in there, and let s have a continuing conversation. it doesn t have to be at the breakneck pace that it has been the last three days, but let s keep talking about it until we work it out. if we are going to talk about taxes simultaneously and move to that before we have the answer, so be it. but you can work both tracks, and whichever one comes to a resolution first, bring it to the floor for a vote. eric: senator, that is a really common sense solution. thank you very much. next on the rundown, with got th
care, everything he has promised to do is part of this. eric: we want to get to this. we can go on for hours on all the stuff. but the the trump power wireta, now, this has been all over the board. first we said there were no wiretaps, then they say they were wiretaps, then they say it wasn t ordered by a former president obama, where is the administration right now? what president trump has asked for and received is for the house intelligence senate committee to add to their investigation, this piece of it, and they have agreed to do that. we will wait until that oversight and investigations are complete. eric: look, i remember a new york times front page on january 20th using the word wiretaps about the trump tower, someone at the trump tower, sending that information back to president obama. we know there are many ways to surveilled people now, had reports about just this week. i would note because the really
that theory, not just a theory going forward, obamacare literally is collapsing from within itself, they backloaded some of the costs so it didn t look so expensive up front. some of these bills are coming due. this year, next year, 2019-2020. obamacare is working quite well. you have the majority of americans getting their health coverage from their employer because employers are required to provide it. eric: but employers are pulling out of the system. next are there could be, i don t know, five or six states with only one insurer and then maybe down the road they may be no one to ensure these people. the majority of americans get their policies through their employer, and the employers have dozens of choices. eric: 15 to 20 million people they say are covered who don t get insurance from their employer. saying, we can t afford to do this anymore, you are going to have no health care for those people. certainly under the
liberal bureaucracy. again, we are not trained to be mean-spirited, were trying to face reality. donald trump won. elections have consequences paid political appointees should all be from donald trump and conservative eric: stay with you for a second. what are they still doing there? donald trump famously saying, saying, get out of there, get out of there. any appointees that are still there are still there because the trump administration has not replaced them. the trump administration will replace them. eric: most of the political appointees have been removed. most of the top echelon of people under secretary of state rex tillerson been removed. what i said is that they are not engaged in a deep conspiracy to oppose our government, and for you to say otherwise it s really misleading. i don t think the american people to go in, you re in
