saturday morning. that president obama ordered this wiretap. you said he found out this information, and he wants congress to investigate. bottom line, why would the president want congress to investigate for information he hard has? i think there s a separation of powers aspect here, as i mentioned to jonathan resource and time. what why waste that it s not a question of wasting it it s the question of appropriateness. if he s sitting on this information he found out now directing, asking or recommending the intelligence committees look into this, you talk about resources and staff, which they do, but why expends the resources and staff if they have it? i think there s a difference in which may be involved on going investigation and asking
through the committee process allows republicans, democrats, independents alike to offer up amendments and suggests and the house will work as well. we will continue to give guidance, thoughts and suggests but i think the president s core principals are what is going to guide us as we head through the house and senate. just one thing to follow-up with, the president made a very serious allegation other the weekend and i think we would all be remise to get through this briefing and not get you on camera to at least offer some evidence. where where s the evidence, where s the proof that president obama bugged president trump? i answer this now twice. but since yesterday. since yesterday is there any new proof? no, it s not a question of new proof or less proof, the answer is the same, which is i think that there s a concern about what happened in the 2016 election. the house and senate
totality, but i m confident if you look at what s going on right now, it s unsustainable. premiums are up 25% on average, arizona 116%. oklahoma is in the 50s, minnesota is in the 40s. this is unsustainable for a family to continue to pay the premiums that they have and for individuals, small business owners et cetera, so the question is can we allow people to go on this trajectory where more and more of their paycheck is getting eaton up in a plan frankly not giving them choice, doctors or plans they want. this plan clearly achieves those goals a lot better, gets price control under and allows doctors and plans to reengage in the marketplace prior to this. that is a major aspect. from yesterday, i had a nominations question. is there something preventing the white house from submitting the nominations of sonny perdue
touer he had no information to back that. and i asked whether the president regretted saying it and he said no, he didn t. i think they re going to start having a groundhog day quality type to it where we re asking this question every day, may explain why we haven t had a will the of on-camera briefings, he did take questions from reporters yesterday, that any time he walks out here this question is very likely going to be asked. this happened at the very end of the briefing, the start was the health and human services tom price advocating in many ways for the republican health care plan that has been put for the record up on capitol hill, also saw the two props next to podium talking about the size to have democratic bill passed and
congress as a separate body to look into something and add credibility to the look adds an element that wouldn t necessarily be there if we were directing the department of justice for example. he made it clear how he wants this done and where to go from there. millions of americans are work ong their tax returns, will the president commit to releasing his tax returns for this year and is he still under audit? he s still under audit and i ll ask the question. how do you understand what we ve seen on the growing number of cases canadians born and raised with vald passport being stopped at the border and being told to go back, won t let come into the u.s. i m not aware of that that s something that should be addressed with i the department of homeland security. but the message i don t know, i think it s
