The revamped bill to repeal and replace obamacare, i have a vote, expected in the next hour. This may be a nailbiter, but republicans believe they can pull out a win and deliver on a top priority for President Trump. This is outnumbered. Im sandra smith. Here today, harris faulkner, meghan mccain, former deputy spokesperson for the State Department under President Obama, marie harper, and todays oneluckyguy, the Opinion Page Editor for the washington times, charlie hurt is here and he is outnumbered on a seriously busy news day.

republican and the guy that the hillary clinton campaign hang on a second. in 2016 the president of the united states was who? barack obama. i thought we were independent. i hear about politics and jim comey didn t mention there was an f.b.i. investigation into donald trump. he did spend i believe half an hour condemning hillary clinton. bill: allow the lady to get in here. sandra: you remind me of the advice that former president barack obama has for democrats that he shared last night. he said chill out. we had a big week. it was impeachment hearings and also the debate that happened. not a lot of people tuned in to watch it. they were on the stage and president obama is urging democrats to chill out about the 2020 presidential field. we had the former chairwoman of the dnc donna brazile this morning reacting to that. the president believes we had a good field of democratic
comey and joyce s speaking fees, enjoys his life as an author. you are talking about the top echelon. i will never forget that jim comey didn t bother as the fbi director didn t bother to see president-elect trump until two couple months after he was elected. the whole world was there, came to the transition except the fbi director wanted to keep his job. why was he so busy here in washington doing what he was doing? look, i just want to say this last thing on behalf of the president of the white house. this obituary was a disgrace and i would ask the washington post to close your eyes and pretend that al-baghdadi worked in the trump white house and go rewrite the obituary. i bet you would not be as kind. martha: kelly and, thank you very much. we will get into the washington post headline tonight.

this was exactly how it had been described to me, which was a rumor. hope hicks was aware with a rumor with russian hookers participating in some lewd activities. jim comey writes about in his book and talks about in subsequent interviews how uncomfortable he was having to go in and brief the president on the existence of this. jim comey also had written about and talked about how the president wanted to knock this down. and hi this job as communication adviser, they work through the worse and sorted rumors, the candidate she knew about it in october. she knew there was a rumor but comey was providing a defense. what i mean by that is he s saying i don t know if this is true or false but i know it s out there and, therefore, you need to know it s out there in case there s anything you need to do to protect yourself from being unduly influenced by a foreign add sprer sari. i guess the point is trump
