And glove with the president on selling the healthcare plan, the president sends out four tweets about Predecessor Wiretapping him. Did that help or hurt . That was not part of the campaign trail. How far off course did that take you . I think it was theres really often into new territory. There is part of what the Intelligence Kmo Committee is investigating. Late today, the Justice Department told them it immediate more time to review the request. The Spokesperson Sean Spicer said the president made the stupid charge. Spicer dodged some of the
wiretapped him. Now they are trying to weasel out of it. I think the grown up here is mccain who saying Put Up Or Shut up. They have gotten away with the fantasy that there were 3 million fraudulent votes casts. This president does not get called into account for putting out false statements. Even though it involves something of historic magnitude an it doesnt seem to stick
with donald trump when he fly out lies. I think there are people who believe it. I dont accept it. Somebody should tell the speaker of the house he is being a felon or not. It isnt funny. How does a president order a wiretap. What does he have to do i dont think its constitutional. But how would it be done . I dont have the wildest clue. Here is the deal, two things you have to keep in mind. Number one, the president didnt ask for prosecutor he didnt call for investigation. Sean spicer later covered it up by saying a want a investigation. Aihe was sick doing. Ere is the big eger problem, they are in campaign mold. I sat in a bunch of focus groups and rust belt states people who vote for trump, they like him, they love him agenda, when you ask him what would he change. Quit shooting from the hip. They want him to be focused and that is a problem for him. Wiretapping could be a host of surveillance uniques. Just find out obama had phone taps. This is mccarthyism. Tap my phone during the sacred this watergate or sick
guy. Referring to the former president. Lets watch what he said a week ago. Does the president believe that former president barack obama committed a felon. I think the tweets speak for themselves. When did president become to believe that the president Obama Wiretapped his phones. I think it speaks for itself. This would be a bone i will chewn because i nnot understand how sitting president accuse former president of a felony. You have to get a fisa agreement is not something president s do. Its done by prosecutor. Your thoughts. Sean is right. The tweets speak for itself. He accused the former president. He made a inflammatory statement and accused former president of a felony. This is part of false things that the approximatepresident i person and he calls for an investigation to try to bury that. Even if we dont know if theres any kind of legal consequences or recourse in terms of catching him in a lie, its important to do that because of this pattern of eskalation. We may laugh at it but they believe it. I think he should act like the speaker of the house. It seems like trump is using you to hide behind. Youre the Intelligence Committee give us evidence or reason to believe theres wiretapping by the former president. They say we have not fwn abbeen to get the information. They say you investigate. We say okay, we have to get the investigation from the Justice Department. This is to keep the story alive. Why are they doing this. Why dont they talk . We have a hearing coming up on 20th. He may take that opportunity to say what he wanted to say which is to debunk this story. I think it was their best bet on how to make it go away by saying
its your problem. This is a serious enough charge that you can count on us to in the open hearing to ask the people there, whether is anything to this serious charge what is complicated about finding out if the president order wiretap. Why is it complicated . Its not. They can have doj in his office to say is it true or is it not true. He may not like the answer is the reason why he wasnt want to do that. Kellyanne ask about the claim up in jersey. Do you know whether trump tower was wiretapped. Theres many ways to surveil
each other. You can surveil through the phones, television sets, my crow waves that turn into kellyanne said she was not talking about inference To Surveil Trump Tower but surveillance uniques. Lets watch. Why would you make suggestion without evidence. I wasnt i asked you have no evidence that was used against trump tower. I have no investigation thats why theres an investigation. However, i im not in job of
having it looks to me like they are trying to bury the story. Was the current president wiretapped by the former president thats a simple question to answer. If you dont know the answer, say i dont know. Look, i have to give credit to Kellyanne Conway. She is loyal to this president. She doesnt have a good answer. She hasnt been included on why the president said what she did. Why is she making the rounds . She didnt go on the rounds on you can imagine coming on this show, and youre boss within the last week accused his predecessor of having tapped his phone and not be ready with a
quick answer. Lets be honest. Im always honest. Kellyanne not be able to give a bad answer youre saying what im saying. Its called the run around. Thats not what im saying. What are you saying . Im saying in this particular case, she is already said that the president has information that she is not authorized to have and therefore she could not talk into the situation. All he did was talk about what surveillance means and its much broader. You can google that and find that out. Thank you for being on the show. Coming up, nonbipartisan say 14 millions will be left
cold if republicans plan to push healthcare. We have to figure this one out. Whats going to replace obamacare. Not much. The problem of them lose healthcare become Donald Trumps problem. Dont you think . More Carrying Marijuana is underfire for comments like that. We cant restore our civilization with someone elses babies. For the Trump White House its about disruption. You needs to make sure people see him as rebel. Let me finish with trump, you aint going to like it. This is hardball where the action is. Well, a 103
yeah, 103. Well, let me ask you guys. How long did it take you two to save that . A long time. Then its a fortune. Well, im sure you talk to people all the time who think 100k is just pocket change.

If passed the price tag will reduce federal budget. 24 million will be uninsured by 2026. If they if they are willing to take spokt responsibility of those remember this. The pottery barn rule, you break it. You own it. President Accused Media of looking better than it really is. The press is making is look wonderful. If we end it, everyone is going to say remember how great obamacare used to be. It was so great. Its a little bit like president obama, people liked when he was left. When he was here, they didnt like him so much. Here what they had to say late tonight. I hope they would pull the bill. Thats the decent thing to do. Numbers are important. They see the numbers. They should know how that transfers into peoples lives. The Republican Hand picked head of cbo has confirmed what he democrats have been saying all along. Trump care would be a nightmare for the American People. Remember when he was candidate he said everyone would be covered and cost would go
down. He had no intention of keeping either promise. Congressman bar ton, thank you for coming on today. 14 million fewer. I respect cbo but they are not infallible. They are seldom ever right. 19 million americans under the Affordable Care act chose not to take Coverage Even though this was main dated. They either paid tax penalty or they asked to hardship exception. 10 million did go into private exchanges. It seems ill lodgeble that 14 that chose individual chances, i
dont see how you get to the number. Do you respect the cbo, he pointed out that the leader was picked by republicans and the caucus. Now you say you respect them but you dont trust the numbers. Explain it . It doesnt matter who the director is. The cbo is almost always wrong. In my 32 years in congress i cannot recall them ever being right. They say 24 million fewer people insured by 2016. Im wondering, thats a lot of people if its 24, 23, or 26, thats a the of people thats not going to be covered by a plan thats supposed so cover everybody. Give us a couple of years to
get to the transition and let the american choose. We think you are going to get better coverage, lower cost, you will choose to get the coverage not mandated. We need to put the plan in place and give it a chance and see what the American People think. It seems to me, that the democrats created Social Security are no republicans voted for. The same with medicare and obamacare. This is something first social Entitlement Programs that the republicans will have their fingers on. They will call you, say you voted for this. Arent you worried about having the hammered put next to your head. Instead of blaming the
constituent, they will be blaming you, Aren Youorried about that. We cannot be you are scotfree of that one. We asked the democrats to help us but for i guess perhaps some of the reason you eluded to they are too busy defending something thats failed to work with us. Thats a fair charge you made. Ruth, let ask you about this. I think promises were made in this campaign and one of them was obama made a lot of promises too, this guy is making promises about deliver it is what obama could in terms of coverage at cheaper price. Maybe same price but not the coverage. Im attempted to keep going
about the attention must be paid to cbo scores. Its just complete logic with the take aware mandate to require purchase the health insurance. When you spend more than a trillion dollar less in terms of subsidies and maedicaid costs, its going to make sense theres going to be fewer, its a significant number and i think theres a lot of angst among republicans on the hill looking at the numbers. Republican lawmakers express their opposition to this bill. I would say to my friends with whom i serve, do not walk the plank and vote for a bill that cannot pass the senate and
have to face the consequences of that vote. I think thats not because of the specific this is unacceptable. But because i think we can do better. In a number of areas of concern. You say that speaker ryan is pulling the wool over the eyes of the president. I think thes a separation between the two. I talked to the president three times and he willing to negotiate. What i here from paul ryan its a binary choice. What does it mean. His way or the highway. Congressman, it seems to me theres to safest positions, you vote for something that pass or vote for something that fails. Are you comfortable with the bill youre looking at on the house side from the ryans
office and something you are comfortable defending. I do want to improve it. I do think that the way we treat the Medicaid Expansion states is too rich. I would like to end increase in expanding medicaid coverage for healthy adults after one year and a day when the super march goes back to two third federal government onethird state match. I do think what the energy and Commerce Committee and the ways and Means Committee we have to protect the people that chose to participate in it or forced
to. We need to move to better system, more choices, or freedom. Im not sweating we are trying repeal and replace obamacare. Congressman, who are getting nervous. Thank you.

Questioning nonwhite subgroups, he called them. He is under fire again. Reporting he tweeted builders understand we cannot restore our
civilization with someone elses baby. When asked to explain when down down on his comment. I meant exactly what i said. I said the same thing ten years to german people or people that is declining that is not willing to have enough baby to reproduce yourself. You cannot rebuild with someone elses baby. You have to keep your birth rate up. Many republicans were quick to condemn the remarks of the congressman. He tweeted what exactly do you mean. Do i qualify as someone elses baby . The sentiment shared by is

Were a melting pot where people come from all the walks of live from around the world to seek a bett better life. Congressman, what do you think he meant and do you defend it . I do. Its good to be with you. I think he is getting a bum wrap. Peoplen the media are calling steve king a racist and
zeenphobe. He said if you want to come here you have to come here legally. If you want to come here legally, you have to assimilate and askrib to our american values, he said american cant survive. Youre not a racist to believe that. Lets ask jonathan what is your reaction . Chris, what congressman king said is part and parcel of a history of things that he has said that are racist or xeno phobic, we know when congressman king talked about people coming over the border with calves the size of can te lopes. Calling mexicans drug mules. Congressman king has a problem. He has a xeno ph obe. They are hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. Those would be legalized with the same act. Thats the guy youre defending right now. Theres a pattern of prejudice here. Putting it lightly. I dont think it is. Against mexican. No. Mexicans have come up. The Media Obsession with making this about race. This is what they did with trump
supporters during the campaign. What former Congressman Wilson is trying bait a conversation where he is trying to pull in people who voted for President Trump and lumping them into being racist. We are talking a congressman who has a history of making racist and xeno ph obic statements. What america is above all else is an idea. People come here for opp
