democrats don't want anybody be to pay p for it but the government and that means taxpayers pay for it. >> it looks as just as good as it is going to be. >> i think it is. they have come a long way to getting something that is salable to the country. and the guy who has to sell it to the country is the president p before it gets passed and he has to convince people it is it a better plan for them.

>> lou: the president acknowledging he didn't have taupes with the fullback fib director james comey. that is a disappointment to a lot of people. >> not to me. i am glad he didn't have tapes. i lived through nixon tapes and i think the president did a mruf on comey and said you better be telling the truth and i think it worked. >> lou: why not any investigation of jams comey and loretta lynch and the republicans and the department of justice and attorney general begun investigations. clunton foundation and the e-mails and the want and reckless disregard. >> no reason f. you are going to have a broad-spectrum of looking. the team that he's putting together is big as any justice department criminal and find upon out what it is all about. >> lou: mueller is bring from nothing democrat and

absurd to me. good to see you. >> we'll be right back. and there is a lot more to cover here tonight and has to do with the deep state and desperate demand fundmental conflict with the trump

decision about hull hill's fate. >> and -- hillary clinton's fate. >> keep an eye on the senate judiciary committee. the democrats and republicans are looking into the the loretta lynch stuff. there is troubling question. and i don't think bob mule are went up to the hill and appeased republicans concerns and they will give him room to do an investigation. the other place to watch, the director of the fullback fib. there is questions about him. >> lou: andrew mccabe. and there may be investigations under way of him that we will be reporting on in the next few days. there is movement there. these things move slow and there are signs that things are broadening a bit. >> lou: that is encouraging as far as it goes. whether the judiciary or senate intelligence committee, i think it has been all theatrics and pure puffery to this point and both parties on each of those committees have been amateurish and presumptus and not working on real thing and working hard to come to a conclusion. >> i was in a a cab with a driver and he said we are investigating a obstruction of a crime that didn't occur. and americans outside of the beltway get it. >> lou: i hope you have his name and phone

hopeful. we'll put it up, folks, could we see the full screen of the russia comment. grassly saying, we ought to say enough is enough. there's no reason mr. comey couldn't are told the public be the whole truth. he is tell the public if the fbi had an open investigation on attorney general sessions. this is a chairman of a committee starting to get real and that is hopeful. >> he talks about the complicity of the silent fbi be and leaking fbi and the media that spun the conspiracy theorieses and others that put the country through a lot of tumult. and jay johnson reiterated and russia didn't change the votes and he revealed home land offered to help the dnc computers from being hacked and they turned it down. if you don't take the help you deserve to be be hacked. >> lou: it is acceptance and exchange proferred and shouldn't it have been a national security and homeland security telling and getting subpeonas to precede and preserve the national security against russian interest? >> that is a greaty question. when someone trying to get in and may not have got in and trying to get in on the dnc. the next election there is an aggressive because president trump is involved. but maybe we shpt have sat on our hind legs. and we are doing armchair quarterbacking. >> lou: let me resist armchair quarterbacking if i may and the use of the plural. the fbi under james comey and the department of homeland security, they had a responsiblity to protect the national intchlt thaw should have had the dnc servers in hand. they are the oneses that tell us that russians hacked the server. this should be an act on the part of the national security structure including dhs and fbi, right? >> the handling of the post hacking era, and maybe they will go back being to the clinton e-mail case when there was dancing around tactics and we if we were under investigation we would not have gotten the deference. but the government can't order the dnc to take control of the servers. there is questions of why they don't use the tactics earlier. >> lou: appreciate you being here and your views. >> they thought they were going to win like three. wouldn't you say, at least three. the

delusional. they failed to buy a victory in george ja and now turning on their own. it is a watershed moment. for the first time they are not attacking president trump. but attacking nancy pelosi who faces growing back flash the members of her own party. he is defiant and bragging about p her leadership. >> i am a master legislator and a astute leader and i respect any opinion member ps have. but my decision of how long i stay is not up to them and i am worth the trouble. >> certainly for the republican she is a master legislator who proclaimed on obamacare, we are have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it. and pelosi may be worth the trouble for republicans, because republicans have gained more than 60 seats in her tenure as the top democrat in the house. the republican party would like the pelosi kind of trouble for a long time. president trump tweeted. i certainly hope upon the democrats don't force nancy, out. and please let crying chuck stay. the dem's strategy is to obstruct the president and his agenda and drag out the congressional investigations on russia and say they will do so until the 2018 midterms. none of this has helped the dems in the special elections and midterms will not likely be different. because the dems don't have a single new idea. they don't have any idea of any kind. they just do nasty better than anyone and that proved not to be enough.

>> it is an imperfect bill and people are right to be skeptical. there is a lot of the stuff to be happy with. if you told them they could get rid of the employer man date and lower tax and deal with the problems of obamacare down the road, most would be happy to take that. this is not a repeal bill and republican voters were promised they would repeal and replace obamacare and hesitation is understandable. and this provides a fig leaf to the moderate republicans. provide more money and slows down the medicaid expansion. and moderates can get on board. it is a smart bill as it was drafted. but as a conservative not what i dreamed of. >> lou: mark, i have to believe that republican and crying chuck schumer is praying that the bill keeps moving and the republicans don't just throw up their hands and leave the democrats stuck with obamacare. that bill or law, obamacare, is owned by the democratic party and it will tear them up in the 2018 elections. >> i am watching chuck schumer speak. it is the most cruel, thoughtless bill. and explained obamacare changes. and then i blame paul ryan know and mitch mcconnell. they have had six or sen years to figure out the changes and they didn't upon did it. >> whatever it end upons up being, in the end of what they pass, they might have something. it will not look like the house or senate bill. it may be done at 2:00 in the morning on christmas eve. and at least it will move in the direction of people not being harmed. president will know be blaumed and that's an issue we are concerned about p. >> lou: a moment, first time in 5 or 6 months, the democrats are not attacking president trump. they are a tagging nancy pelosi. tell us what that means in >> she's getting heat because yet again democrats poured money in a race and had all of the passion and support and they blame p her. i think it is unfair, yes, she is a san francisco liberal and far left. >> lou: and lost 60 seats with her tom democrat in the house. >> but it is the democratic mess sage the problem. they all talk approximate bash donald. radical abortion policy and support for climate change. and fans of regulations and high are taxeses. and they are not popular upon with average americans and it is not her fault they are out of fresh ideas. >> and i can't read the speech. she's a mastermind?
