Administration has been exposed. Normally the fell as that become president understand the silent rules of who really governs and its usually shadowing figures at alphabet intelligence agencies that are unelected, unactable, and out of sight. He want the real power and hes going to find the and hold on to it even if he has to crack a few eggs making the authority omelette. General flynn was flapping his trap to his counterpart about sanctions, but little did he know, he was being spied on by the f. B. I. I wonder if they had a warrant for all the intercepts between trump operatives and lord knows who else. All the deep state got were texts about sanctions. So three political hacks with dubious track record. Sally yates, James Clapper and john brennan decided to make political hay out of flinls perceived ineptitude. Even for people who hate President Trump and i know they are loud and angry. Spying on american citizens and selectively leaking droplets to the Washington Post is wrong and bad on every level. Its the most powerful tool the American Intelligence Agency has, and to its for a club is so wrong, even if the bruised bastard is the political devil. Edward snowden exposed what eli lake calls. If there has been a deep state war ignited by flynns resignation and the president want to get back at the Intelligence Community. He should pardon edward snowden. I heart you and im kennedy. Is President Trump and the Intelligence Community at war . Lets ask jonah goldberg. What is your take on the deep state versus the administration . For me its like the iraniraq war. I am just sorry on one side can lose. I agree with you that what they did needs a thorough accounting. One way we can figure out whats going on, they should release the tapes that they have of the conversation. Kennedy or a transcript so week all see it and judge for ourselves. For the most part they should release the whole thing, especially the parts alluded to in the press. Im pretty sure they did have a warrant. If they didnt have a warrant someone needs to go to jail really soon. But the warrant if they dont have a fisa warrant to do this, thats nuts. Im not sure i agree with you that flynn didnt know he was being record. If he didnt know he was being record, thats really grotesque incompetence. The guy he was talking to is precisely the kind of got it nsa is supposed to be monitoring. Its a hot mess all the way around. If it is true that this is done unfairly and flynns account of this is basically correct, then why the heck did the Trump Administration throw him under the bus. He shouldnt have been let go if its as innocuous as everyone is saying. Kennedy i think our government and our country and our press are all Strong Enough to handle that sort of inquisition. What do you think if there were stuff on flynn . If there was stuff on flynn . Kennedy is there worst stuff on flynn . I dont know. I always thought this relationship and track record with russia was nervous making. I know he says a lot of hawkish things about russia in his book. The whole administration is extremely weird. Kennedy if you have people inside the administration who have curiously Close Relationships with moscow or if there is a deep state war and they are using this sort of soft coup. As far as independent investigations democrats want an investigation of any russian connection between President Trump and people within the administration and republicans want an investigation on how this stuff happened and how it got leaked. Where do you start . I want it all . I want both things investigated. When prosecutors abuse their authority to convict guilty people. I still want the guilty people to go to jail and i want the prosecutor to go to jail. I understand the politics. People want to be forced into one lane or another. I want to know about both. And i think that it is entirely likely a bunch of holdover obama hacks are playing bad games here and doing stuff that is against the interests of their own institutions in the longrun because it devalues and delegitimizes the work that they do. There is a weird situation where you have President Trump who used to spout, i love wikileaks talking about how great wikileaks was. Wikileaks is together same stuff these guys did to flynn. As far as we know, everything in wikileaks was true about podestas emails. As far as we know now everything and he to be in this transcripts is true about flynn. We should confirm that. So when donald trump says its outrageous about the illegal leaks. Wicky leak was full of illegal stuff, too. Im sort of i believe in consistencies of my position on all of these things. Kennedy you are going to come around and snowden, too, i can feel it. It may take a while. Kennedy lets go to the party panel. Kat timpf, joe devito and pete hegseth. Welcome, you guys. So much stuff to talk about. General flynn is no longer in legal jeopardy. Hes out of the white house for lying and not for breaking the law. But according to the New York Times the feds are investigating a number of other trump aides for repeat contacts with russian intelligence officials. President trump and the russians dismissed the idea that any such phone calls took place. But is this a fullflown crisis . The media will want to tell us its a scandal. If you read the New York Times piece, there is no evidence. No one was talking about been figure it the other in these conversations. A future noo National Security advisor can have conversations with their few tour counterparts future counterparts. Kennedy some of the stuff that was leaked from John Podestas emails, they are trying to create the perception there is a headline. Unnamed sources wont say how many calls, how many officials. How many of them are obama holdovers trying to get at this administration. Until we get the transscripts or evidence, this is building a up of a case against trump. You can only imagine the ax brennan had to grind with flynn. Its very convenient that a lot of people who called for Edward Snowdens head are loosely praising the work that he did showing that the government not only spying on private citizens, its spying on public u. S. Citizens and the government is spying on the government. Congressman nunes who is huge into spying on private citizens for safety. Thats important. But way out of line if its an intelligence official and ambassador talking. You have got to be consistent. Trump is complaining about leaks. Come on. When it benefits you. I love seeing transparency happen even if it ends up being a little bit after mess or a lot of a mess. Its not transparency when you arent naming sources. Hes out of there. The New York Times piece says russian officials were talking to Trump Campaign advisors. They are trying to drive that narrative. Kennedy thats the narrative democrats want to drive. If there is something happening with russia, we deserve to find that out. But if its the deep state punishing this administration, thats not acceptable. Pence is incredibly powerful because he was lied to by general flynn and flynn was essentially forced to resign. But people say pence is not in the inner circle base wasnt privy to this information that the president had two weeks ago. I think he got fired because he made pence look bad. The mainstream news is giving us fake news and leaks are giving us the truth. I think the idea he could have been in a meeting and it didnt occur to him he was being record or spied on. They should use the mafia format where you dont euls any personal nouns. Kennedy in the meantime, it appears the russians are doing a little poking back, perhaps to see how far they can push or possibly to test the Trump Administration. The pentagon is telling us a russian surveillance boat has been chugd up the east coast 70 miles offshore. And four russian jets flu fast and low over u. S. Navy ships. U. S. Officials their new missile violates a 30yearold treaty between the russians and us. Are we on a collision course or is this a careful live crafted scheme where President Trump and Vladimir Putin pretend they are meddling. Vladimir putin is lapping this up. Everyone is claiming the russians around every single corner. So they are going to take this moment this pause, this place, where no one know iowa to do with russia. And he pushed the boundaries up our coast. They will take the confusion of the moment and maximize it as much as possible. Kennedy are the russians being sneaky . Trump is a very America First guy. Neither of them are the leaders or people who care what they have should be doing or shouldnt be doing. They are both also unpredictable. So this sounds like, oh, trump says nice things about putin. When people saw that and anybody who understands way its like to be an unpredictable leader dealing with another unpredictable leader. You have no idea what they are going to do when they are thinking only about themselves. Kennedy on one level its okay to deal with iran which is clearly funding terrorism. And that was fine for the obama administration. To have this toes irwript saudis who sent people over here to kill us. But if the United States and im not a puff continuist. I think hes a bad im not a putinist. I think hes a bad person who has done bad things. If you look back to when obama had the meeting and said to medvedev into the hot mike, this will be easier after the election. And Hillary Clinton gave them the reset but on with the typo on it. But my question is, is trump at warp with the russians or in cahoots with the russians . The fact that they are off of the coast of delaware, what are they going to do . Steal our credit card information . Kennedy the party panel is coming back in just a little bit. Repealing and replacing obamacare is an increasingly difficult puzzle for the gop.

The plan would cut the open enrollment window in half and lower the minimum standards for healthcare than it surers would need to qualify for the exchanges. Republican lawmakers who are struggling to replace obamacare now have yet another lands mine to dodge. Humana annnced they will stop selling on obama exchanged next year citing uncertainty about a replacement. That puts the gop in a bind because it makes replace. More difficult. Welcome back, congressman. Before we diefn to some of the nuts and bolts of obamacare. I want to talk about your performance at your town hall. A lot of your fellow Republican Congress people have been told not to engage with protesters, and top limit the size of your town hall, and you said no way. What advice would you give to other people who do your job in your party when dealing with loud protesters . I tell them to be open to go back to their districts, to talk to constituents, to hear their concerns. There are a lot of people with reasonable concerns. We may not agreen all the solutions. But its important to have those conversations and take the criticism where someone wants to criticize you. And there will be people there who want to thank you for what you are doing. Its important to be there and hear the different perspectives and try to represent your entire district. Kennedy you were praised by the way you handled some of those issues. You talk about citizens united. You dont accept the kind of corporate money people often take issue with in their campaigns. Your Speaker Paul Ryan went over to the senate and talked to Senate Republicans about pane obamacare plan, and about and one of your republicans senator rand paul of kentucky walked out. Are you standing with rand or dying with ryan. I like rand palms plan better. I think we should return this Healthcare System to the states. Allow the states to decide what they are going to do, and create some sort of phasein period to give the states time top get up on their feet with a Healthcare System. But between the two plans, rand pauls and paul ryans, i prefer rand palms plan because it puts people back in charge. It gives people more options, and it tries to get the government out of the system and the way its been. A lot of what we are seeing from Republican Leadership and some of the republicans plans out there would be characterized by me as obamacare light or obamacare version two. I think thats not way to go. If we dont like the way the Healthcare System is working we should offer a real alternative. Not just finger and change a few things. Kennedy i think it is protecting the status quo, and thats how we got to this hyper partisan pickle we are in to begin with. You have been a member of the Freedom Caucus are you still a member of that caucus . Yes. Kennedy what are some of the members saying about their plan for repeal and replace of obamacare . People are supportive of rand palms plan. Governor Mark Stanford has the companion bill, its a little bit different from rands, and the house Freedom Caucus has been supportive of that proposal. We think repeal and replace should happen at roughly the same time. We would have a repeal bill and a replace bill. And of the plans that are out there right now, we think that Mark Sanfords plan which is essentially rand palms plan is the best one out there that we can get behind. Kennedy the president says it could take over a year to repeal and replace. Will that send the Healthcare Industry into a death spiral. We want to make sure we give Health Insurance companies the time they need to adjust. But we should take action immediately. We should put our plan out there and pass the repeal bill. We should take action and show we are serious. When we were against obamacare out there on the campaign trail, we meant it. We werent just about tinkering and reconfiguring way or finding new ways to finance it. Kennedy thank you so much for your time.
