Direct campaign to interfere in our election process. Dni head James Clapper making it Crystal Clear at a congressional hearing yesterday that all 17 u. S. Intelligence agencies believed russia meddles with the u. S. Election. I do think that public trust and confidence in the Intelligence Community is crucial. And incorrectly calling out trump for his repeated attempts to undermine his conclusion. But i think theres a difference between skepticism and discouragement. But trump continues to strike a tone tweeted it was supposedly hacked by russia. How and why are they so sure about hacking. What is going on . And retired general Martin Dempsey breaking his rule not to comment on politics tweeting intelligence is hard thankless work. Fortunately we have dedicated patriotic and courageous men and women on the job. Thanks. Grow up donald. Grow up. Calling trumps comments dangerous. For a president not to have confidence in to not be prepared to listen to the agencies is mindless. He tapped the former senator a hawk on russia to replace clapper. Trumps Transition Team insisting that he supports the Intelligence Community pushing back on reports that the president elect wants to revamp the dni. There is no truth to this idea of restructuring the Intelligence Community infrastructure. Trumps team did however signal an about face on one of his Biggest Campaign promises. Who is going to pay for the wall. House republican Officials Say trump is looking to ask u. S. Taxpayers not mexico to pay for his proposed border wall. Republicans pay try to add billions of dollars to a massive spending bill if mexico refuses to pay for it. And trump tweeting out this morning what heine says and what will happen is that mexico will actually reimburse the u. S. For the cost of that wall and republicans end up going that route it could end up leading to some sort of a show down with Senate Democrats that could end up forcing some sort of a government shutdown. Trump for his part today in addition to receiving that briefing on the russian cyberattacks he will also be meeting with magazine editors including vogues anna wintor. Back to you. Thank you very much. No specific evidence of russian hacking was presented at Thursdays Senate hearing but in context its important. They said and you know why to the lawmakers. They said why we dont give you specific information about sources and methods because we have a big infrastructure here that would put people at risk if we did that and the lawmakers nodded and agreed. Now today president elect trump is going to hear details about operatives that acted as go betweens for the russians and wikileaks. Evan perez is live in washington with more. The surprise isnt what donald trump is going to be told. Its what the president elect is going to say in response. The reaction is what were waiting for. The u. S. Identified intermediaries that they believe provided the wikileaks website with the Democratic Party emails stolen by hackers working for russian intelligence. This is among the pieces of information that the top intelligence officials expected to provide donald trump at a meeting in new york in the next few hours. Today is the first time that trump will see an extensive Intelligence Report that looks at not only the russian hacks of Democratic Party groups in the last Election Year but also cyber hacks going back to the 2008 Election Year. Were told by officials that u. S. Intelligence agencies have also collected intercepts of russian officials expressing happiness. Donald trumps victory on november 8th. Now Officials Say that the intercepts arent considered smoking gun evidence against the russians but rather its part of broader evidence that they put together. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told senators at a hearing in washington yesterday that the intelligence agencies believed that the evidence points at russia more residence lolutely y did in october. They told fox news that the russian government wasnt his source but also claims that wikileaks never knows his sources. At this point the plan is for the public to see a declassified version of the Intelligence Report next monday. Well look forward to that. Thank you very much. Theres a lot to discuss this morning. So much news and joining us now is republican congressman Chris Collins of new york. Hes a liason for the trump transition executive team. Thank you for being with us. Lets start with what happened yesterday. Now that you have heard dni head James Clapper make the case, do you know believe that russia was behind the hacking of the dnc computer . Im someone that has said all along, ill stipulate that it was russia but i continue to be disappointed in the sub text here that the democrats are pushing that somehow any of this had anything to do with the results of the election and i think thats, you know, when we talk about cyber hacking its been going on for decades. Russia has been stealing our intellectual property. Others, rogue states have attempted to get into our electric grids. So you accept it. So basically you accept that russia does this and that we need to move on. Theres no need to talk about it more or figure out how to retaliate. Well, no, we should continue to do whatever we can to dissuade these rogue actors and its really the four main countries of russia, iran, north korea and china. Theyre all working in different areas trying to get into our Cyber Systems in different ways. We need to be constantly sending the message, especially to those four countries that, you know, were just not going to stand by and let it happen. Im not saying we should be announcing this on the front page of the paper. Sure. But this is an on going battle. In terms of constantly sending the message after mr. Trump is briefed today by the intel head douse think he will change his message to russia . I cant speak for what president elect trump will do or not do other than i can assure you that between general flynn, the nsa and certainly others, you know, tom bossert, donald trump is going to take a very strong stance on cyber hacking and i think what the other nations will find out from donald trump, he is actually going to take some steps to make sure that they discontinue this behavior and especially china stealing our intellectual property. Such as . Oh, i cant tell you what they will do but i do know, you know, theres things, you know, were able to cyber hack as well. And i think in some cases, you know, we all know peace through strength works and at some point i suspect our capabilities are greater than those other four countries combined. Theres ways to send a message but its not something that the public is going to see on the front page of the paper, nor should they. Lets talk about this new information about the border wall. Is it your understanding that the plan is for u. S. Taxpayers to pay for the border wall with mexico and then somehow to have mexico reimburse the u. S. . Well, heres what i will say. The u. S. Is going to build the wall. So if youre going to build the wall you have to pay for the wall. Now the question is where does the money come from . Does it ultimately come from the taxpayers or mexico . That will be a negotiation donald trump will be having once he is president but we do need to secure our borders. We do need the wall. Congress has been talking about that for years so the person that is hiring the contractors which will be the u. S. , will pay the bills and however it ends up being paid, i can tell you the American Public knows we need to secure the borders. Congress knows we need to secure or borders. But i mean, that is different. What youre saying is different than the way it was explained during the campaign which is mexico will pay for it. I guarentee mexico will pay for it. There was no mention that taxpayers would have to pay for it. So this sounds like a different spin on it. Well, no, no. I would not tell you right now that donald trump wont sit down with mexico and have them reimburse the taxpayers but of course we have to pay the bills. Were building the wall. Ultimately though thats a negotiation the president , donald trump will have with russia, our not with russia, but with mexico to determine whether or not they will reimburse us but i can tell you the mood of congress is regardless of what we do, we need to secure or borders and the wall is part of it. How will he get mexico to reimburse the u. S. When you understand that mexicos economy is dependent on consumers, he has all the cards he needs to play. The entire nation is dependent on the u. S. Consumers and our economy. Thats something that we control through trade negotiations so i dont think its that difficult for donald trump to convict mexico. Lets talk about obamacare. You and your republican colleagues are interested in repealing it. How will you replace it . The replacement is going to come, well put a plan for it sometime this year i suspect in the next 6 to the 12 months. Theyre not going to help us at all so we need 218 out of 241 republicans to come together and we have had five or six different plans that have been discussed over the last 8 years. Now we have to condense them into one final plan that is going to be the replacement for obamacare. But we should also remember only 10 of americans get their health care through obamacare. It has impacts on others from a cost perspective but obamacare as such is about 10 of americans. Right. That sounds, i get it and that sounds low when you frame it that way but when you hear 30 million americans are in limbo and could, you know, there could be a window where theyre not covered then they want to know exactly what your replacement plan is. For one thing their coverage cannot change over the next two years. Theres nothing we will be able to do that will change their coverage and doctors this year. But after that if its repealed thats what theyre worried about so how you will be sure that you dont have a gap in coverage but in terms of the cost of it, there are estimates now that it will cost to repeal it, 350 billion over ten years. So since you do, you have been working on this with your republican colleagues for years. I mean, 6 to 8 years, why dont you guys have a consensus on a plan. Well we have known for the last 8 years president obama wouldnt sign a repeal. Number two he would never sign off on any kind of replacement. These are just healthy debates we have on, you know, even on the medicaid expansion. We have several republican governors that did do the medicaid expansion. Were going to have to sit down with them and discuss on the repeal what happens relative to the expansion of medicaid. Thats not a done deal and as we come forward on plans were talking about all different kinds of tax incentives to get people to take coverage. Its going to bring in all the stake holders over the next 6 to 8 months. We have the outline of where were going to go. Thats where the rubber hits the road. Thats why well have hearings, negotiations but in the meanwhile were not going to see any coverage changes over the next two years that should cause anyone to be worried. What is going to happen in three months when i have to go in for my next doctor visit. No coverage changes. Can you guarentee after that that 30 Million People will be covered and also dont have anything to worry about. I can assure them theyre going to have better coverage options. However we end up paying for it and however we make it available to them. We understand that Everyone Needs health insurance. Its not affordable. 12,000 deductibles. People effectively dont have insurance. Theyre being required to buy something they dont want to buy. Were going to have a solution and we certainly understand, the republicans do, every american deserves access to health care. Thats why we have medicaid for the poor. Were going to do it and its been too expensive. Thank you very much. Good to meet with you. You too. That was a great interview that shows the complexity of this problem. And they would have never said that before they owned this problem. Now something thats making it even harder is this new battle over planned parenthood. Speaker ryan said when we do our first budgeting bill were going to take money away from planned parenthood. How is the Nonprofit Organization going to fight back. How can this complicate the overall battle in congress. We have the executive Vice President joining us next. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo.

House Speaker Paul Ryan vowing to stripped federal funding for planned parenthood tying it to the repeal of obamacare. The Nonprofit Group is determined to fight the move but with republicans Controlling Congress and the white house what can they do . Joining us is the evp of planned parenthood. You say yourself the fight is on. How do you fight when all the sides are against you. Chris, im always glad to come on and talk about the Amazing Services that planned parenthood provides to 2. 5 million women in this country and unfortunately today to talk about how those services, Birth Control, cancer screenings, std testing and treatment are threatened by paul ryan and members of congress. And we are going to fight back becau because. This breaks down one word. Abortion. This is what theyre about. This is something they want to deliver for their base. They see you as the biggest provider of abortion in the country. Thats all they need to know in terms of satisfying their base but you did an interesting survey and lets put up the numbers. Those who are going to vote for donald trump, this was before the election, found that 48 of those likely voters support federal funding for planned parenthood. What do you think the disconnect is there that people that said they were going to vote for trump, so assume theyre to the right almost half of them said Fund Planned Parenthood and yet this is such a priority for the political right defunding planned parenthood. Most americans think its absurd that here we are in the first days of the new year and paul ryan isnt talking about a jobs bill or a terrorism safety bill. He is talking about taking away health care from millions of americans. Many of whom voted for donald trump and who come to planned parenthood and i talked to many of these voters and they absolutely had no idea that that would be the first thing to come to the fore and theyre thinking already their health care through the aca. Health care they get through planned parenthood is at risk and lets talk for one minute about the other hypocrisy and they say they want to reduce abortion but yet they would cut Birth Control access for millions. They want to help Womens Health care but they want to take away cancer screenings that millions of women rely on. This is the two faced political hypocrisy americans hate. Lets get some context to the realities. What would it do to planned parenthood if you dont have it . How many of the essential services when you talk to americans. A clearinghouse check from the government. Planned parenthood like every other Health Care Provider was reimbursed for the services they provide. Birth control, cancer screenings. Std testing and treatment and as we all talked about this funding doesnt actually had anything to do with abortion. What we know is 50 of planned Parenthood Health centers were located in underserved areas of the country. And women in rural areas and women of color that were going to be effected by these cuts and planned parenthood is a vital part of the safety net in this country for health care. Planned parenthood has existed for 100 years and were not going to go away but will we be able to serve the millions of patients that need our services . Not if we face defunding as has been discussed. If you want to fight and youre going to f
