The head of the Intelligence Committee isnt ruling out calling her as a witness. If there is intelligence that leads us to a reason to look at susan rice, then well do it. Howie candidate by reporters if he thought rice committed a crime, the president says he thinks she did. Fox news senior judicial analyst judge Andrew Napolitano says rices actions may have been criminal. He joins us tonight. President trump promised to build that wall. But his Homeland Security secretary doesnt seem to be overly committed to the idea. Its unlikely well build a physical barrier from sea to shining sea. Lou the executive director of the National Immigration forum joins me. And the cofounder of the House Freedom caucus, congressman jim jordan. Hes taking part in those renews efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. Deep divisions remain and so far no sign of a deal. Good evening. Susan rice is defending her request to unmask Trump Campaign and transition officials who were inadvertently surveilled by the nsa. She calls her request routine. Its clear also the requests were anything but routine, and were actually he unusual. According to members of the house Intelligence Committee who have seen the intelligence reports at the center of this unmasking scandal, the files do not pertain to russia, but contain information highly personal in nature. This is information about their every day lives. Who they were talking with, who they were meeting, where they were going to eat. Nothing of substance or value unless you are trying to lay out a dossier on somebody. Lou that Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is back an investigation into the rice scandal. I ask the Intelligence Committee to investigate these allegations pertaining to susan rice and we look forward to the report on what happened. Lou President Trump saying i think its going to be the biggest story. Its such an important story for our country and the world. Its one of the big stories of our time. When asked whether he believes rice committed a crime, he said she believes she did. My next guest says susan rice was entitled to ask that the names be unmasked. But to do so for other than National Security it could be espionage. Espionage. The word sort of collides with the ear. You dont think of this even if its criminal in nature to being espionage. The names of americans whose communications have been intercepted are top secret. The revelation of those names for a purpose other than to understand the communication that they were involved with is the failure to maintain state secrets. And thats espionage. This is the same crime that Hillary Clinton probably committed when she put state secret on a nonsecure server in the basement of hers and her husbands home. Susan rice as the National Security advisor can ask for any unmasking she wants. But she is only entitled to unmask a name if quote it is necessary to comprehend the conversation that the person was participating in. Howie we just heard congressman peter king say the material he saw which is the same letter looked at by the National Security advisor, susan rice, is all personal in nature. If she asked for names to be unmasked that were not connected to National Security she committed a crime. If she was interested in what donald trump and Paul Manafort were talking about the night before his speech in cleveland, and if she gets it thats a profound violation of federal law, and if she repeats it to someone else, its another violation of federal law. Lou here is the National Security visor for a Democratic Administration going after the surveillance of the republican challenger to Hillary Clinton, the democratic nominee. We dont know all the facts. Congressman king has seen more than you and i have. We dont know what susan rice has seen. This is why the f. B. I. Needs to investigate. But this might be something bigger than idle curiosity. It might be something even worse than the use of intelligence for political purpose. It might be an evident by the Outgoing Administration to destabilize the Incoming Administration which would be a scan california profound importance. Lou weaponized intelligence in the United States of all countries is so abhorrent that its unimaginable to most people. But we are look at scant evidence that that may have occurred. And we are looking at the politicization of intelligence that is extraordinary. And there are a lot more questions and answers about what that president and that administration was up to. You are exactly right. Fingers will begin to point at a person from whom we havent heard a people since january 20. The only person for whom susan rice worked and the only person with whom she could legally discuss those unmasked names. We know who that is. Lou should we say his name . Barack obama. The president of the United States and her boss at the time. Lou we are coming right back. You dont want to miss any of it. Stay with us. The Trump Administration barreling ahead with efforts to revive new healthcare legislation. The president and i remain confident that working with the congress well repeal and replace obamacare with healthcare reform that will work for the American People and work for the american economy. Lou we take up the ongoing efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. Well be talking about congressman jim jordan. Homeland security secretary john kelly downsizing public expectations about president obamas southern border wall. That and much more straight ahead, stay with us. Let it sink in. Shouldnt we say we have the lowest price . Nope, badda book. Badda boom. Have you ever stayed with Choice Hotels . Like at a comfort inn . Yep. Free waffles, cant go wrong. I like it. Promote that guy. Get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed. When you book direct at choicehotels. Com. Book now. Lou no progress to restart talks on repealing and replacing obamacare. This is House Freedom caucus chairman mark meadows as he left that long meeting with administration officials, conservatives, and even moderate. I want to make sure im clear. There were no agreements tonight, and no agreements in principle, and certainly no agreements in terms of a foundation. There was a general agreement that the progress we are make is certainly progress, and they are good discussions. But there is is a whole lot of things we have to work out in terms of differences that still have to be worked out. Lou my next guest says healthcare negotiations are at a stand still largely because republican moderate are rejecting trumps proposals. Congressman jordan, i heard a lot of folks saying last night and today that they felt better about things and there was optimism. But i havent heard anything about another meeting or any specifics. Where are we . We are still talking. Our joins to do what we told the American People we were going to do. Get rid of this law thats not good for the country, not good for healthcare. All the things we were told about obamacare that turned out not to be accurate. Our job is to get rid of this law and bring down premiums. We are still talking with folks and trying to get there. The latest proposal from the white house was can we give states the option to get out of some of these regulations driving up costs . We are look at that. We think there may somebody potential there. But we want to seat language. And well continue to talk about that and a few things we think will bring count cost of premiums and affordable insurance that is important to every Single Family across this country. Lou is there not significantly enough change from what i have heard to suit many people. I do want to compliment you and the freedom caucus. Apparently the tuesday group are the bad guys and seem to have drawn most of the fire from folks at the meeting. I mean, look, i have said this all along. Tweets and statements and blame dont change facts. The facts are this legislation is not where it needs to be. We continue to work to try to get it there. I think lots of members in the republican conference are doing that. Lets get it to the place thats consistent with what the American People elected us to do. Thats our commitment. Lets get the job right. Here is why this is important. We have a lot of big issues coming the next 7 months. We have a tax reform and the appropriations process, we have a bill thats going to happen. All these things are coming. We better get process right now if we are going to deliver on all those things the mayo the American People sent us here to get right. Lets use that tell flat throughout this spring and summer so we can deliver for the American People. Lou are you having nightmares about the possibility . You just used the word continuing resolution. That controlling the senate and the house, hearings, control of the United States government, that you guys could be having budge pet fights and debt ceiling fights and screw up what effectively is one of the best opportunities the Republican Party has seen in certainly decades. Thats why we have to get the process right now. And make sure we have plenty of time to make sure we have enough in this legislation so they will embrace it. Only 70 of the people think its right. All that all those important issue. Lets get it done right here from the start. So well have the template for how well proceed with other issues in the future. Lou this isnt the template for you to proceed or your party. Lou im not going to get into paul ryans leadership or lack of leadership. But he did say it would be months before anything could be done with repealing or replacing. Can you wait that long . I hope not. I hope we can do something sooner rather than later. But i hope its the right thing. Thats been our commitment from the getgo. Lets do something consistent with what the voters wants us to do. Lets bring down their premiums. It continues to be our focus. Im optimistic. We are americans. You cant help but be optimistic. Im optimistic that we can get the job done. Thats our commitment and focus. Lou congressman jim jordan who said the smartest thing they can all do is reveal obamacare and start there. I think you were right to begin with. Be sure to vote in our poll. Should president s trump, xi and putin meet immediately to resolve the syrian and north korean crises and stabilize the world order . What do you think .

Listen to my reports three times a day on the sail fell radio network. The highly anticipated summit between President Trump and chinas xi jinping begins tomorrow. Ill be talking about the high stakes in my commentary, and democrats who ex posed themselves as petty partisan thugs. I think the democrats are so bitter about having lost the election to donald trump that they are pouting all over the place. I think its stupid on their part. Necessity look like idiots.

Reporter democrats are expected to filibuster the nomination of judge neil gorsuch. Majority leader mcconnell is expected to use the Nuclear Option. A democratic minority. Reporter merkley pulled an all nighter and reiterated the complaints thats president Obamas Supreme Court nominee never received consideration. For the first time in history we are considering a nominee for a stolen Supreme Court seat. That should be enough for every one who cares about this institution to turn down this nominee and convey to the president that the only legitimate nominee is merrick garland. Reporter there has been a push by Vice President mike pence and republicans officials to revive healthcare to see if it can be passed before the easter recess. We have not seen any text at this particular point. There are still some parameters of what would in the text, and thats being discussed openly among leadership in the committees of jurisdiction. Top congressional leaders tried to buy some time. I think consensus ought to drive the timetable. We had an ideal calendar in front of us. But it was a calendar that i laid out for 2017 that has room to breathe, and we are in the breathing room. But we have time to figure this out. Reporter some sources think that it could create a sense of urgency so lawmakers could go home. Lou it is a business busy week, but a few thoughts as the president prepares to meet with chinas president xi jinping for the first time. There is a full table of issues for the two leaders to resolve. North korea will likely to the agenda after the white house declared the clock has run out on north korea. The president earlier this week warned the United States will take unilateral action to eliminate the threat of north korea unless beijing steps up to its responsibilities, comments echoed by ambassador nikki haley. I think the United States has seen china for 25plus years say they are concerned about north korea, but we havent seen them act like they are concerned about north korea. Lou north korea not the only pressing issue. China added complexity to the maralago meting by stepping up the militarization in the south china seat on artificial islands it birth that may house surfacetoair missiles. The president promises to label china a currency manipulator. While this summit is important, its not likely to set the tone or tempo for our relationship with china for years to come. This meeting will be first about introducing president xi to the new u. S. Leadership perspective, that is america first. The chinese will require im sure some time and space to adjust to americas new leadership and direction. The quotation of the evening from will rogers. Diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggy until you can find a rock. The countdown is on to confirm judge neil gorsuch as our next Supreme Court justice. We are going to confirm judge gorsuch friday, how that occurs will depend on our democratic friends. Lou will the republicans be forced to go nuclear in order to confirm gorsuch .
