Committee have agreed on the parameters of their investigation. So the House Intelligence CommitteeJust Announced details regarding the investigation into any potential collusion between russia and the trump campaign. What are they going to do. Reporter they did. They are basically agreeing on the fact that there will be an investigation. This is significant for this reason. You know, for so many weeks theyve been talking about was there anything that was nefarious here. We dont know the answer to that question, but tonight the committee is saying that they will look into several questions and were just getting this from the committee tonight, but a couple questions i want to talk about is whats russias cyber activity was actually involved in this, what active measures were used against the u. S. So this is a bipartisan investigation into this that, you know, really any conversation here hearing at the white house theyre accusing democrats of pushing this, but tonight were hearing for the first time that republicans as well want to look into this. So these parameters, which are pretty vague, really, just looking into the confines of this, are, you know, signaling that they are going to investigate what could be an issue with russia here. So the beginnings of an investigation, but the problem here is for the trump administration, this could last for a long time. As president President Trump bass beinged in the glow of his big speech do congress, the hard work of turning those promises into reality was the first order of Business Today at the white house with the president sitting down for lunch with republican congressional leaders. Were just here to start the process. It begins as of now and we think were going to have tremendous success. Yes prooe tremendous success demends not only on Senate Majority leader ryan, the president delayed again today the signing of a travel ban to replace the one blocked in the courts. Cnn has learned the secretary of state, defense secretary, and National Security adviser are all pushing for a rock to ir to be removed from the list of countries to be banned. But the priz president struck a more optimistic note but it remains an open question whether it was a lasting pivot or a one90 Night Performance after a rough start to his presidency. In either case, his wish list is an expensive and complicated one even among republicans, not to mention democrats who are largely resisting the trump agenda, from healthcare. We should ensure that americans with preexisting conditions have access to coverage and that we have a stable transition for americans kurn currently enrolled in the healthcare exchanges. To tax reform. It will abe big, big cut. At the same time we will provide massive tax relief for the middle class. To infrastructure. We launch our National Rebuilding i will be asking congress to approve legislation that produces a 1 trillion investment of infrastructure of the United States. After the speech, speaker ryan offered praise but walked away when asked about the price tag. I thought he did a great job. Did he answer questions of how woe pay for things tonight . So speaker ryan obviously did not answer than question, but anderson other fiscal conservatives we talked to said the president simply left out how he would pay for all this. Now, the question is, can the president bring his supporters along in all these districts to bring their members of congress along . The answer to that probably is yes, but for now so much skepticism about how much thaufl will cost. Clearly as been talked about the president strike a different known last nights speech. Do we know how big a role he played, if any, in writing it . Well, sure. He played a bill role in writing this but im told also that ivanka trump his daughter and Jared Kushner his soninlaw played a key role in writing this as well. They viewed that this was a reset opportunity, a moment to sort of change the conversation. So this was all part of what he was intending to do here. And they viewed this as a major success. Now, but its important, i think, to take a bigger view of all of this. He didnt change policies all that much. If you look at the speech, if you listen to the speech, basically the same donald trump. The volume perhaps not as high here, so the steven bannons, the steven millers of the world who are pushing are the president toward a different world view still got their points in, but think the other side of the white house here, ivanka trump of course choz key to her fathers legacy made this softer which is why i think he got such high marks. All right. Not a fan of the speech last night, spent four towers of duty in iraq has taken strong exception to the comment not winning wars anymore. I want to get your reaction to first news to the Intelligence Committee that broke they agreed on the scope of the investigation. How confident are you in this investigation . I mean, the parameters have now been jointly agreed upon by the chairman whos a Ranking Member as a democrat. Thats right. It is very significant that the republicans are finally coming along and recognizing the threat that this poses to our democracy and to our National Security to have russia meddling in our elections. But its important to understand that these parameters refer to a classified document that the American Public wont see for another 50 or 75 years. This entire investigation that takes place on the Intelligence Committee will be classified. So this is an important step in the right direction, but it doesnt solve the problem. We all deserve answers, the American Public deserves answers, and thats only going to come from a bipartisan, independent Commission Like we had after 9 11. In terms of the presss steech last night, i know you took a lot of issue on policy positions that he outlined not saying how its going to be paid for. The fact that the criticism has been about his messaging, how its uneven, at times controversial, do you give him any credit for a measured approach last night . Look, the bar is so very low, anderson, he got up there, he was able to string several complete sentences together from tella prompter and not offend half the world and were excited and people think it was a great speech, but it was a hallow speech. He doesnt have any plan to pay for the things proez posing. It was a speech to a house of representatives i never seen more divided. Literally stligt the republicans were on one side, the democrats were on the other. That was never the case when president obama delivered his state of the union addresses, even just recently when the congress has been divided. Democrats and republicans, we always sat together. So this is a very different sation than what people are making it out to be in the news today. Its a very divided congress because of a very divisive president , and just because had he some nice rhetoric last night, doesnt mean that anythings going to change. When he said the time for trivial fights is behind us, do you think he has any idea that he himself as president has engaged in trivial fights . Hes done it from the start of his campaign. And the fact that he says something last night that sound good doesnt really mean much because we know that the president say serial liar. And the problem is we just dont even know when the president is telling the truth or when hes saying something that he actually believes. So he has to follow this up with action. If he wants to have an infrastructure plan thats supported by democrats and republicans, he has to have a plan to pay for it. If he wants to reform healthcare then he has to have a plan to replace obamacare. The only point that he made last night that really resonated with people was the idea that his new plan would take care of preexisting conditions. Well thats the hallmark of obamacare itself. So there was a lot of nice rhetoric but i have to see the plan before we can see if democrats and republicans will be able to come together and work with absolutely the most divisive president in modern history. You gave a response in youtube and in it you said that its true we face real problems in America Today but that doesnt mean america should shrink from its role as a global leader. Much of the what he said on the campaign trail talked about nato, taking iraqs oil. His cabinet secretaries are saying different things. Do you think anyone really knows what the president s Foreign Policy is going to look like at this stage . No. I was talking with nato leaders over. Communmunich security conference with mccain several weeks ago and the Vice President came and contradicted what the president said that very week. Secretary mattis the same thing. No one knows who to believe. Its all well and good secretary mattis who i deeply respect and trust go over and say the right thingds, but if his boz boss continues to say the wrong things and clearly didnt lin to the secretary of defense when it matters like in putting out this travel ban, then who are we to believe . That doesnt give anybody confidence, doesnt give me confidence as a member of congress and a member of congress whos made a real pointed of working across the aisle. I was named the advice chair of the Bipartisan Group in the house. It doesnt give me confidence and kofds to our world leaders. And the other thing is there are a lot of problems that we have to address as a country. The economic recovery in president obama was absolutely remarkable, but there were parts of the country even if my own district that were leftd out. So we should be talking about how we involve everybody in america in the future of work, in the new economy. We didnt hear anything about that from President Trump last night. I appreciate your time. Thank you. I want to quickly return to the breaking news. Errol louis, kirs sten powers, jeffrey lord is here, perhaps you havent heard hes also veteran to the reagan white house, kelly mack mean itny is a contributor to the hill. How significant is it that the House Intelligence Committee has put out these parameters . Because theyre pretty vague, broad arnd they include the idea of investigating leaks. I think thats one of the most significant aspects of it is theyre going to look at what cyber activity was directed at the usa, what were the connections between any political campaigns and russia. But the last one is what possible leaks of classified information took place in relation to the Intelligence Committee assessment. And the chairman mu necessa h very clear thats his prime directive. He said he made no connections between the trump political people and russia. And so, but like we just heard, this isnt going to be a public. Right. A public process anyway, so i think that it will probably behoove all of us to have a more public process so that people could feel that these questions were answered satisfactorily. It doesnt give me a lot of comfort to know it will be done in the political process. It will be interesting to see if the president can resist commenting on this, whether he decides to comment on it or not. Obviously today theyre sort of trying to bask in the glow kf last nights speech. If they can stay focused and stay away comforttemptation to comment on this, they may be able to let the process proceed without sort of rielg things up. Youre using the royal they, you mean the president . If he can resist. When i say they, i dont mean just him because its not just the president and his twitter account. I think hes got advisors that are nudging him to say different things, we know that. There were other Staff Members that tried to sort of nudge the fbi and push them out there and have them try to finn spin the story a little bit. Thats going to backfire because youve got a competition going on. Youve got a senate Intelligence Committee, youve got the media who are looking at this. Youve got people who appear ready to leak and talk to the media. Theres going to be a lot of different eyes on this and trying to keep each other honest and he can only harm himself by leaping into the middle of that. Were going to bring the full panel in, a closer look at everything he left out of his speech and later what he said last night, what he now says and these are his words, the trump, quote, virus has mutated. And also the top of the hour you see the preparations there seen in town hall with two republican skeptics of the president , senator john mccain and Lindsey Graham. Americans 83 try to eat healthy.

Weve been talking about President Trumps speech to congress if the one of the reporters seemed to accept the ferters of the office and he adopted a far different tone than we expected. Familiar mannerisms were not there that we come to associate with the President Trump before that, the candidate. Watch. A few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are, they are the enemy of the people i made a speech, i looked out, the field was it looked like a million, million and a half people. They showed a field where there were practically nobody standing there. Russia is a ruse. I have nothing to do with russia. Havent made a phone call to russia in years. North korea is a big, big problem and we will deal with that will very strongly. It would be great if we could get along with russia, just so you understand that. I think it was disgraceful, disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out. And back with the panel. Its so interesting today they were supposed to release the new executive order on, you know, what states they were going to ban immigrants from temporarily. And i guess they delayed that because they wanted to bask in the glow of last nights speech. Whats weird to me about that i get it from a political standpoint but the original executive order was sold on that it had to be done then and there because this was a National Security priority because so many bad terrorists were coming in, were sneaking in with these people that have visas and now theyre like oh we can hold it for a couple days. I suspect that the courts will note that as well. Because the courts should give the president deference on National Security measures but now theyve injected politics into this. They said the timing is being manipulated for political gain. My old mentor former client was governor george and senator, he used to say a single rose does not a summer make. So a single good speech does not a pressy make. And he went an entire hour they tell me without saying anything racist. He didnt insult anybodys sensibility, mock a pow or, grab a congresswoman by her privates. High per low berly. On the executive order, why now is it okay to delie lei it because of last nights speech and, not only that, once theyve actually now had some, you know, the secretary of state and the National Security adviser and secretary of defense weigh in on it theyre not going ban people from iraq after all. I think thats the answer to your first question. I think there was back and forth internally within the administration. You dont think it was delayed as we were talking last night. Sure. This is washington, d. C. And horrors, theres politics in washington. Doesnt it put the lie to the negotiation that this was such a priority. Not if youre dealing with cabinet members, serious cabinet members who are saying we need to change the policy. There are serious terrorists coming in with current visa holders. They havent been making that point consistently anyway because the whole thing is on ice with the courts and donald trump has made one or two statements accusing the that independent branch of government of maybe putting the United States security at risk. But largely thats not part of their messaging anymore. And it strikes me more as a decision made because the administration wasnt ready, it sounds like theres enough internal dissent to kick the can down the road. They do have a National Security adviser, he has too weigh in his opinion matters and by the way hes a guy with a strong opinion. And speaking to the urgency of this, i think that logic still makes sense because say they put this out today before they excluded iraq from the list of countries if they didnt make it perfect this time and it got struck down by a court yet again then we would be look at a third executive order. We have to get this right and if iraq needs to be excluded, they need to be excluded. But why not show the executive order the first time to the secretary of state. Yeah. Or to the, you know, department of defense. It should have been done that way and i think this time they h
