Doing something that never, never happens in washington, folks. Healy is telling the people around the table, his cabinet, to cut their agencies, in some cases, by 20 , so, and one day, we are talking about rolling back the biggest entitlement of our time, obamacare, and cutting the size of government. This is important because this has never, never done in washington. Republicans dont do this, democrats definitely dont do this. So, welcome to the first 100 days, everybody, i am martha maccallum. It is day 53. There is duplication and redundancy everywhere. Billions and billions of dollars are being wasted on activities that are not delivering results, for hardworking american taxpayers. This order requires a fair examination of every executive department and agency to see where money is being wasted, how services can be improved, and whether programs are truly serving american citizens. Martha imagine that. Joining me out to talk about all of this, former speaker of the house im a newt gingrich. Good evening, good to have you. It is good to be with you. Martha listen to President Trump. By the way, what you just pointed out was really important, you hit it right on the mark. This is potentially a really big move to gain control over their bureaucracies, to shrink the government, to eliminate waste, to empower the president s appointees to really go out there very aggressively. Do the kind of entrepreneurial job that donald trump believes in, not to waste any money, to run a streamlined, efficient organization. If they can keep driving it, that will be a very, very major change in washington. Martha this is an executive order today that got almost no attention. Certainly, it made me sit up and park at my ears when i was listening to this. I thought, wow, i dont really think if any of the other people on the republican side running head won we would necessarily be having this conversation. The proof will be in the pudding, as you well know, whether or not he can pull this off as a whole another thing. Nobody shrinks the size of these agencies, no one rolls back entitlements. Will he be able to pull this of off . When you look out, for example, cutting back some of the costs for the brandnew air force one, cutting back some of the costs for buying the f35 fighter plane, every time you turn around, trump is doing something. This is what people dont get to. It is not about right or left. He is an entrepreneur. He gets up every morning and he tries to figure out five or six or eight things he can do that are real, that change things, move us in the right direction. His instinct as a businessman, the reason he ended up being worth so much money, is he is very frugal. He came in under budget, head of schedule. You look at the new trump hotel and pennsylvania avenue where the post office was, they did a wonderful job, ivanka was in charge. They did a great job. They came in under budget and ahead of schedule. He will try to bring that attitude to the entire u. S. Government. Martha there is a lot of Business People around the table. He was criticized for putting so many Business People in the cabinets. They understand that cost cutting and decisions that ceos have to make every day. We will see if it gets anywhere. Mr. Speaker, stay with us. I want to get your reaction to another big story tonight, a spokesperson for the kremlin says that russian officials did not just meet with members of President Trumps campaign, they also met with members of the clinton camp. Doug mckelway places out for us tonight from the state department. Hi, martha. These comments basically confirm what many defenders of attorney general Jeff Sessions have said all along, and what sessions has said, it is not unusual for a sitting senator, a highlevel campaign advisor, to have a meeting with an ambassador, even if it is the ambassador from the soviet union or russia. Putins a spokesman was sitting with many would regard are. If you look at some people connected with Hillary Clinton during her campaign, you would probably see that he had lots of meetings of that kind. There are lots of specialists, people working in think tanks, advising hillary or advising people working for hillary. We reached out to former Clinton Campaign spokesman about those comments, who told us, it is not true, which is why they are were using the word probably. Others said it was not the meeting that sessions had with the Russian Ambassador, but is poorly constructed response to a question during his confirmation hearing for minnesota senator al franken. Here it is. If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do . Senator franken, i am not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and i did not have communications with the russians. I am unable to comment. In the flurry of criticism that came after that remark, it came to light that Many Democrats had also met with him. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi denied meeting the ambassador, but politico found a 2010 photo with him. Same with chuck schumer. Senator Claire Mccaskill tweeted that despite despite having been on the Arms Committee for ten years, she had never met with him, she apparently forgot a 2010 tweet. Indeed, in the midst of all of the sessions controversy, the ambassador was photographed of the speech that President Trump gave to a joint session of congress surrounded by democrats. Martha, back to you. Martha back with more, newt gingrich. But you make about that . This is the sort of stuff that leaves the average american to be sick of politics. The democrats and the whole case are just flying. They know that it is routine for a u. S. Senator to meet. The truth is, the only person who is getting direct money from a Russian Company that came in, close to a campaign, John Podestas brother, who was paid over 100,000 by a russian bank to lobby for them in washington. This whole thing is infuriating. You take a guy like Jeff Sessions, a very honorable, very hardworking man. He wasnt precisely to the question being asked, which clearly is campaign related, and he gave a campaign related answer. Had he been asked, have you ever met a Russian Ambassador, he would have said, sure. As a u. S. Senator, of course i have. This whole thing, it is infuriating. By the way, secretary clinton, going back to find out, how many times did she have dinner with the Russian Foreign minister . How many times did she have meetings . How many times did you meet with the Russian Ambassador . Martha both Hillary Clinton and candidate trump said they wanted to start over with russia. They thought there might be areas where they could compromise, discuss. I dont think it is all that shocking that either side would have had some sort of outreach to try to fit see whether that might work. Before he let you go, i want to get your thoughts on the scoring by the cbo, do you like it or not . They should abolish the Congressional Budget Office. It is corrupt, it is dishonest, it was totally wrong on obamacare by huge, huge margins. I dont trust a single word they have published. I dont believe them. Martha the head of it is a trump appointee. In many ways, i think people misjudge what they are supposed to do. Their job is to figure out whether or not this is something that can get through on reconciliation. Not to make a judgment. Let me be very clear. I helped balance the budget four straight times, we thought the Congressional Budget Office every time. When obamacare came out, they used the architect of obamacare as their advisor on how to score obamacare and their scoring, you go back and look at it, it is a totally dishonest, disgustingly wrong, and that whole thing should be abolished. They should replace it by putting out the bed and having three to five professional firms score these things. Nobody has an exact score. It is not possible. Even tonight, dr. Tom price, secretary of health and human services, pointed out that there are whole sections of us probably didnt score. I really do think it is disgusting. I am disappointed that the republicans are not abolished the Congressional Budget Office because it is so profoundly dishonest. Martha more to come on that could. Newt gingrich, thank you very much. Thank you. Martha breaking just moments ago, the Justice Department has responded for any and all information on President Trumps allegations that president obama was spying on him during the campaign. Judge napolitano with his take on what they said. Plus, two exclusives for you tonight. First, Sandra Durand was killed by a drunk driver who had been deported five times from this country. Her fiance joins us as he decides to speak out tonight. Also a new documentary about the hours leading up to Michael Browns death in ferguson, missouri, in 2014 has created a firestorm. The filmmaker behind that film joins us. Before the prosecuting attorney reacts. I couldnt believe what i had read. Michael was in the store the night before he died. They saw the video tape and i didnt us. Guess what, st. Louis county . I have got the videotape. Heigh ho heigh ho heigh ho its off to work we go heres to all of you early risers, whats up man .

Martha breaking tonight, moments ago, the Justice Department responding to demands for the doj to come forward with any and all information on President Trumps allegation that president obama was buying or wiretapping him during the 2. Chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridges life in washington on what what the dos thing about this on this evening of this deadline. Thank you. Within the last hour, Justice Department spokesman confirming that they have asked the committee for more time to review the request and determine if documents exist. In the meantime, the white house spokesman telling reporters the president tweet was not meant literally. The president was very clear in his tweet that it was wiretapping, that that spans a whole host of surveillance options. The house in the and it come Intelligence Committees, when ill look into that. Provide a report back. House Intelligence Committee deadline comes just one right before the first public hearing on the russian investigation. Including fbi director james comey are invited witnesses. The committees ranking democrat believes the fbi director may be eager to testify. The press reports are accurate that he asked the department of justice to knock this down. They refused for whatever reason. He may welcome the opportunity. Hell certainly have that on march 20th. Moments ago, we received this statement for the republican chairman, who wants documents, it reads in part, of the committee does not receive a response by then, the committee will ask for this information during the march 20th hearing and may resort to a compulsory process if our questions continue to go unanswered. We are told tonight that specifically issues issuing subpoenas. Martha thank you. Here now, fox news senior traditional analyst, judge andrew napolitano. Good to see you. What you make of that latest report . I dont know that the Justice Department has watched the Intelligence Community wants. Sources have told fox that if then mr. Donald trump, the president elect, was surveilled as he says he was, during the campaign, after he was elected, it was found by a foreign intelligence entity from a foreign country, an ally of ours, the British Foreign intelligence service, known as gc hq, the initials for that entity. That entity was able, then, to bypass the nsa, the cia, the dni, and the doj, the entities in the United States that would have jurisdiction. Martha you are suggesting that president obama went beyond our own intelligence agencies and through british surveillance, received the transcripts of phone conversations of a Trump Campaign was having . Business what sources him intelligence have told fox. Just to give a little background, the nsa has 24 7, 365 access to all the computer servers and Telecom Service computer in the United States. Martha metadata. Correct. They can download into digital form the conversations and the text. They dont have time to read all of that. But they have access to it. Guess what foreign entity has access to the nsa database . This british spying entity, gch gchq. They could have obtained this information, sources tell us, translated the raw data into actual transcripts, and shared it with someone and that the west wing. It probably wouldnt have been with the president personally, because he wouldnt want anybody to say that i met with a british spy in the white house. It would have gone through someone in the white house. Martha he wouldnt require a fisa order, he could get that directly. He could just call up the intelligence agencies and say, i would like to see that agency. There is a paragraph in the fisa a statute, says, notwithstanding, the president of United States may order surveillance and any person in the United States. Martha they have to be a perceived security threat, i would imagine. Yes but he doesnt need to persuade anybody of that other than himself. Now, martha there is no evidence of that is what happened. Correct. The ability would be there. The ability is there. According to the sources with whom fox has spoken, that is not what happened. For him to do that, there would be a record of his ordering the nsa took off of these transcripts. By going through foreign entities, and the foreign entities, another foreign entity, besides the gchq, between the white house on the gchq, by going through that route, all of these people whose faces were on the screen, jim comey, sally yates, running the doj at that time jack brennan was running the cia, admiral rogers, they could all plausibly and illegally and truthfully say, we have nothing to do with it. Martha thats a lot. We will see. Interesting. Thank you very much. Good to see you. Still ahead, the first 100 days with an exclusive. After Surveillance Video featured in a new documentary about the 2014 death of Michael Brown in ferguson, missouri, has touched off a huge round of controversy. The man behind that documentary is here tonight with us. After that, we will speak with ferguson prosecutor Bob Mccullough to react. A prominent u. S. Attorney asked to resign from the doj, but he claims he was fired. We will tell you why critics call the latest act of political grandstanding in the age of trump. Marc thiessen and moa leafy debate.
