house. >> reporter: in his first address to congress, it's an a opportunity for this president to rise above the internal swirl and daily drama of the white house and take his message directly to the american public. his allies are hoping he'll be able to do enough to explain his plans on capitol hill. the white house says president trump's speech will lay out an optimistic vision and bold agenda. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle looking for the president to outline specifics on the many cam pin promises that got him elected. >> this budget will be a public safety and national security budget. >> reporter: the president unveiling his budget outline monday which aims to boost defense spending by $54 million. >> we are taking his words and turning them into policies and glar dollars.

>> reporter: while slashing other government departments. >> we'll do more with less. >> reporter: democrats say the president trump faces a nearly impossible waltz. bakts. >> their priorities are way out of touch. >> reporter: his outline sdchbt touch social kurt, medicare and medicaid which put him at odds with paul ryan who wants to tackle entitlement programs. the president also facing mounting pressure to deliver specifics on how he will repeal and replace obamacare. but mr. trump now admits it's unbelievably complex. >> nobody knew that health care could be so domply indicated. >> reporter: meanwhile he's pointing the firnger at his predecessor without evidence for the leaks. and at town halls for republican lawmakers across the country -- >> i also understand that politics and in terms of him being behind things, that is

politics. and it will probably continue. >> reporter: also in advance of the big speech, the president is expected to sit down do for lunch with anchors from the top tv networks and also representatives from some. smaller but more influential networks like christian broadcasting and telemundo. >> joe, thank you very much. lots to discuss with our panel. we have david gregory, david gchlt ru krmpt ker and zer lena zito. >> before we get into the meat and potato, i was struck by what joe reported by the tone. the white house says he will present an optimistic vision. that will be a departure. >> from carnage. >> from carnage. that has not been a hallmark ever his vision of america thus far. >> yeah. i mean i think what he has wanted to do previously before

he became president, to lay out this blueprint that there is problems. and before he got there, before he was the guy in charge, there was carnage. now he sees himself as the guy who wants to be aspirational, which is what people look for from a president. they want them to take you somewhere. that was part of the make america great again though,ing to a better place. so i'm looking for him to have that kind message this evening. he will talk about the things that he's done so far, he will talk about the things that he wants to do. and he will speak directly to the camera, to the people in front of congress. it's an opportunity that if all goes the way he wants to, could be a really good moment for him. >> there is a little bit of psychology to these addresses, also. and often when you're going to be asking for things, you want to be optimistic baup yecause y link the twoeg two together. things can be good if i get

this, this and this. and tonight we'll see a novel challenge for our president because he could wind up running afoul of the tea party. they do not like tax cuts and all these things that don't get paid for dollar for dollar. >> and i think this is the early and important test of whether republicans in congress will stick by the president. he's got tremendous influence. he has a lot of leverage in all of these key congressional districts that he won that are being represented by are nots. so now we' republicans. so now we will see whether they see eye to eye. whether not being able to fund priorities, paying for a wall with mexico, not taking on the entitlements while slashing discretionary spending, these become big issues. is this a bluepri this is a blueprint that he will provide for a budget and congress will take it up from here. but will they hang with him. the important part is that he's really sticking to the script of

his campaign. he is making good on the promises that he made. the issue is can he get to the issue of getting people moving again with an infrastructure spend, tax reform, the kinds of things that the market has been so pleased with. or sdoes he start fighting with republicans. >> we've seen a few rumblings on the republican side that a they don't get the math. if you're going to have a massive spike in military spending, and you're not going to touch the entitlements of social security and medicare, how will it work. >> yeah, well, the math will work if and when trump picks up the phone and says the math will work, vote for what i want. and so far he hasn't done that. and that has created a lot ever confusion for republicans and made it harder for them to remove on priorities.created a confusion for republicans and made it harder for them to remove on priorities. so i'm looking for does the president finally get specific. his catch phrase is we'll do something very, very special.

very, very special doesn't reform health care. and will he provide these details tonight. i think the other thing for us to look for is what do democrats in the room do. because there is such a push from their base and every time i talk to democrats in the past weeks is to not is normalize donald trump the president. and when the president gives a state of the union-like speech, you shake a his hand on the way in, you clap when he says bipartisan platitudes. will they treat him like any other president would be treated or will we see more sitting on your hansd hands than normal and cat calling. something for us to watch. >> interesting tonight the response of democrats isn't coming from one of the big shot, its coming from a former kentucky governor. you say it's a smart move, why are? >> i think democrats need con

stla they are part of the central part of yooununited sta middle america. kentucky is a perfect example of that. they're just telling you, hey, we're out in middle america and our message is coming from here. i think it's brilliant. >> it's also a place where there was a successful health care exchange under obamacare. so i'm sure he will talk about that. >> so david gregory, one more question to you. obviously we've seen anger at these town hall meetings across the country. republican town hall meetings with lots of democrats showing up saying do your job, you owe us basically. and yesterday will president trump sat down with the crew from fox and friends and brian kilmeade asked him do you think president obama is behind some of this because there are some pacs that have been working to first reelect him, then hillary

clinton, and now these advocacy progressive voter pacs trying to fill up buses. and let me play for you his response. >> i think that president obama is behind it because his people are certainly behind it. and some of the leaks possibly come from that group. some of the leaks which are really very serious leaks because they're bad in terms of nafrgs national security. but i also understand that is politics and in terms of him being behind things, that is politics. and it will probably continue. >> so again, that was in response to a question. this wasn't sort of an original thought that he had. he was responding to brian kilmeade. but what do you think of this new line of argument? >> well, it's a little a surprising given how the president has gone out of his way to say that he and former president obama have a good relationship. but i don't know that there is any reason to believe that president obama specifically is behind it other than his call

for civic engagement and active citizenship on his way out the door. the reality is that the progress suffer base as david was saying certainly on capitol hill but i think throughout the country is inflamed, angry about trump, is scared of trump. and this is activism. it appears to be organized, coordinated, but also quite real. and it's something that president trump has to deal with. will he deal with that at all tonight? i don't know. stri striving to be more optimistic, will he deal with the desecration of jewish cemeteries and threats of violence, will he deal with the targeting of immigrants as was the case in missouri, kansas city? will he speak to the fears and some of the darker underbell li of what is happening in the country that is part of this, you know, the political climate we're in. >> another question is should he have said this at all.

he's got a big speech teed up tonight. he wants to be on message. he wants to be optimistic. and then this is would i mois b definitions a distraction. he one of the show any kind of organized connection to anything, but he will get the media on him because it's another potentially baseless accusation right when he needs them to be focusing on what he wants. >> right. and it's a needless distraction. it's also -- we've talked about this so many times. his different use of words. he doesn't value words the same way we do. so he's answering this off the cuff. like yeah, they're doing politics. their friends are probably involved. yeah, that's politics. and he names names that he shouldn't probably name. of these people that are affiliated with obama in terms of like were they supportive of

him, absolutely. but to put the president's name in it, probably shouldn't have done that. >> panel, thank you very much. stick around. we have many more questions for you. >> and there are a lot of legitimate questions that are being requested and investigations into who is doing what that is wrong. you have lawmakers trying to bridge the political divide of the a littled ties to russia. you have the house intel committee agreeing on the scope of a probe as republicans and democrats differ widely on the subject itself. so let's fry to explain what is going on here. cnn live on capitol hill. this is complicated. so many people trying to talk about what to look for. >> reporter: that's right. there is a lot of talk. and there is some action. the kond tour contours of the investigation starting to come together. you have the members of the house intel committee finally signing off on a plan to examine in-the conta

contacts good the trump campaign and russian officials. but going into this, you ever a fundamental split between the top democrat on the committee and top republican on the committee who are leading this probe. going into it, they are both giving contradictary views that the evidence has found so far. >> reporter: devon nunez says there is no evidence of contacts between president trump's campaign and russia during the 2016 race. >> right now i don't have any evidence that would -- of any phone calls. >> reporter: but the top democrat adam schiff calls that verdict premature. >> we have i think reached no conclusion, nor could we in terms of issues of collusion because we haven't called in a single witness or reviewed a single document on that issue as of yet. >> reporter: one thing the committee agrees upon, investigating any connection between trump's campaign and russian officials and leaks cominging from xwhoechlt a infrl

against officials. >> no one is focusing on major a leaks. we can't run a government like this. >> reporter: as calls glow frow an independent prosecute door. >> if there a criminal referral, yes, i think the attorney general has to recuse himself. >> reporter: trump supporter darrel issa joining those who say jeff sessions conditions le can't lead the probe. >> you need to use the special prosecutorissa saying right now we have speculation and assumption, but not clarity and fact. any review must have the full confidence of the american people. the president dismissing questions about a special prosecutor. a bizarre response considering mr. trump spoke to vladimir putin just a few weeks ago. >> how many people have to say that there is nothing there before you realize there is nothing there? >> reporter: white house press secretary sean spice defending

the president and leading the tracking down on internal leaks. sources telling cnn that the president signed off on checking aid a. oigs cellphones to make certain they weren't text reporters or using enkriptsed apps occurring an emergency meeting last week. but spicer denied the president was involved in that decision. and attorney general jeff sessions for the first time saying that he will recuse himself from the russia probe if need be. sessions telling reporters last night, quote, i will recuse mifrl fr myself from anything i should recuse myself from. >> an interesting development. thank you very much. and stay with cnn for president trump's first address to a joint session of congress tonight. our live coverage begins at 8:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. so sunlen just gave us a test of the web of investigations that are going on. you have five different congressional committees investigating russia. did you know that? you also have the fbi. so you have all these politicians crossing swords. we'll break down who is looking

russia investigations. the glad we don't know if rush that sha is behind the hacks is just wrong. the quote was "with high confidence." that's what the intel said to qualify its conclusion that russia was behind the hacks. the question is, did trump and/or his team know about or collaborate with russia in 240es effo those efforts. let's walk through who is investigating that question. there are currently five congressional committees looking into various aspects of the trump/russia connection. you have the intelligence communi community's investigation into the hacking that is it ongoing, as well. so is the fbi. the fbi hasn't commented publicly, but cnn has reported that the fbi is also looking into, quote, constant communication between trump advisors and known russians in the u.s. intelligence community. so the fbi also interviewed general michael flynn about his phone call with a russian ambassador. officials are not expected to pursue charges. and that is a key fact because we're still trying to figure out why flynn was forced to resign.

so in the senate, you have bipartisan members of the intel committee have vowed aggressive inquiries into russian election meddling and potential ties to trump's campaign saying they expect to call general 234ri7b to testify and we are told flynn is eager to do so. however, chairman richard burr currently facing criticism because he was apparently working with the white house to counter reports about trump/russia ties. is that what he's supposed to be doing if he's also supposed to be investigating those tice. judiciary committee focusing specifically on flynn with chairman chuck grassley and dianne feinstein requesting a briefing from the justice department and transcripts of flynn's calls. remember how important those transcripts could be. the three house investigations appear much more political in nature. not to be critical. you judge for yourself. the intel committee has agreed to look into both the hacking and connections between trump's campaign, but there is a heavy

emphasis and sharp divide within this committee about the necessity of that probe and you have chairman nunez also pledging to investigate the leaks. you'll hear about that on the house side. leaks are just as important as the substance evof those leaks. the judiciary saying only that they will look into the broad issue of improper interference in the election. we don't even know what that means. jason chaffetz says he doesn't intend to investigate the trump/russia investigation or flynn's communications, but he did join with representative julian cummings in requesting information about flynn's attendance at gala in of these one special investigative committee. and the point is you got so many people looking. may be better just to have just one. >> that is really helpful because i didn't know how many different committees were looking until you just spelled it out. so david drucker, this is

continuing on. but as you know, there are already some of the heads ever those committees who have said nothing to see here.ever those committees who have said nothing to see here. so can they truly do an independent investigation. >> well, i don't think anything on capitol hill is ever truly independent to begin with. there is always politics in play. the democratic chairman that obama had his first two years weren't spending all of their time looking into his administration and providing oversight. and i don't think you will see republicans going out of their way to get in a fight with the president while they have all of these domestic priorities like tax reform that they want to move through congress. >> so maybe they do need a special prosecutor. >> and so let's say academically speaking an independent investigation by a special prosecutor or some select committee would be a better way to go. you then have to deal with the fact that chair men are jealous of their power, and they didn't

become chair men democratic men they could give around the power and in a sense to prevent political alliesdemocratic men they could give around the power and in a sense to prevent political allies thinking unkduy investigated. >> allhe republicans want to keep control. when you put a special prosecutor in, you have no idea where they will end up. but how can this end well? if of one committee that says wow, look what we found, three, four other committees could say we don't agree. how do you get consensus? and none ever these committees have any criminal jurisdiction. so they can't do anything.of th have any criminal jurisdiction. so they can't do anything. >> i don't know that you can get consensus. i think this is chaotic and i think there will be egos fighting over ownership of this. and it creates a lot of noise, a lot of confusion.

and i think that you don't get to the bottom line of what were the ties if about there were any. and i think that both congress and president and the american people want an answer and want it behind them because they want to move forward. >> david gleg regory, your thou. >> central question here, to what extent did russia try to sbfrn wi interfere with and manipulate our election. to what extent can trump and those close to him coordinate with the russians. and are russians up to this elsewhere all over the urd pea an map where they are trying to interfere and manipulate it away. therethese are big questions, bigger than donald trump, bigger than the 2016 campaign. but i come back to the central point of the morning for me with the president speaking tonight. where are republicans and this president? are they behind him or are they going to challenge him? you have so many different committee, different spheres of

influence. ultimately republicans run capitol hill who will decide how much a pressure to put on this investigation. the fbi will do its part. but otherwise is this byzantine maze that you outlined is not going to be resolved until and unless republicans say we really want to get to the bottom of this, we'll lean in with a select committee or a special prosecutor. right now up people all over the place and you have a number of republicans also turning against the intelligence community which tends to throw cold water on what has been suggested in the first place. so where are the republican, how much pressure, that's what it will come down to. >> so david drucker, you said i read the administration still doesn't have its story straight on this. what does that mean? >> i think that we've been hearing different things out of different areas of the different sectors of the administration. the white house on the one hand says it's fake news. on the other hand, stop the leaks. so if there is no information to leak, then is which is it? either we're getting leaks ever

valid news worthy information or there is nothing to talk about. i think ultimately all of this is fueled by the fact that the president treats russia and vladimir putin different than he treats just about every other country friend or foe. he beats up on china and i think justifiably so at times. he beats up on our alleys. people can make up their own mind on 245. but he never beats up on putin or russia. he always apologizes for them. and i think a lot of this would look a lot different if his approach to the russians and putin was different. >> i think it will be very interesting to see how much michael flynn wants up interesting this entire situation. they have put a lot of hope in his desire to take one for the team. you had the fbi uncharacteristically -- anybody who deals with the fbi, they almost never tell you that an investigation is even over let

alone quickly coming out and saying we didn't find him misleading. so if you had that cover at the white house, why would you force the man to resign unless he was just a political scapegoat and people didn't like him and then you have even more pressure on flynn to back up an administration that went back on him. >> i think that flynn's resignation a is complicated. i think a lot of it has to do with did he lie to the vice president. >> but do we know that. if the fbi heard the same story from flynn and they say we don't find him misleading -- >> nothing was worth telling than right before his press conference -- or the gorsuch press conference. did you see that where flynn will went to shake the vice president's hand and he did the back thing and just kept going the other way. i mean body language is everything. >> got it. all right, panel -- >> that is right up your alley. i couldn't put less faith in

body language. but you have the pro here. >> panel, thank you very much for aumt all the insight. cnn will host a town hall tomorrow with republican senators john mccain and a lindsey graham. dan th dana bash will moderate the conversation on what they think the key issues facing the country are. join us tomorrow night at 9:00. so tombstones were vandalized again, more school, more community centers threatened. what is being done to stop a disturbing rise in anti-semitism? is the raemdity that nothing can be done? next. you're gonna love birds eye steamfresh vegetables.

wilbur ross easily confirmed in a 72 drk -27 vote in the sens commerce secretary. ross is expected to be a driving force in revamping nafta and other trade deals. more than two-thirds of president trump's cabinet now in place. jewish community centers, day school, still dealing with bomb threats and in fact they keep coming in larger numbers.

i have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject. nobody knew health care could be so complicated. >> well, president donald trump is expected to lay out specifics during his address to congress tonight. so joining us now is texas republican congressman michael burgess. he's the longest serving congre the subcommittee helping draft a new bill. >> thanks for having me on. >> you are the perfect person for us to talk to because you're right at the center of trying to

craft what will be the replacement. so let me ask you where you are with all this. as we understand it, there are four competing gop bills making their rounds through the capitol. which one will win? >> well, if you look at what the house and senate did in december of is 2015, reconciliation instructions in 2015 that did repeal major portions of the affordable care act, took taxes and mandates out, and it was vetoed by president trump. the senate could not override the veto and that's where it ended. but that was the starting point and many of us made that point during the fall election that t hous and senate have already acted, we have shown you what we can do, what is within our power do. and if we have a president trump who would sign the bill, now this becomes a different equation. so that day exists right now.

the reconciliation bill that came through in december of last year again is the start, point. there is it an attempt to add s additional pieces, insurance america reform, which i think is a good thing. tax cuts for people who need them to help them purchase insurance. but the basis is the reck reconciliation bill. >> and just help us understand, if you do away with the individual mandate, how do you pay for it? >> well, actually doing away with the individual mandate frees up a significant amgt of cash under congressional budget office rules. but that miss the point. are people going to have coverage. and that is a significant issue that we all deal with. we don't want any reduction in coverage. we want people to have coverage. but the problem that we're into now and the reason that we're

even having this discussion, the affordable care act is many ways is not working. or maybe it is because people were looking to collapse the system and get a single payor system as a result. but the individual market is under significant strain right now. and when people talk about being worried about losing their insurance, if an insurance company goes away, that is the risk for losing insurance. and that is the risk people face right now. >> but what about that coverage. what are you guaranteeing americans who are listening? will people and do you know how many lose their coverage? >> i don't know that i have a figure for you on that. but i think coverage will be available and accessible and affordable. one of the big problems with the affordable care act is stuff is not afford shbl. it doesn't mean it will be cheap, but more affordable then it is today. >> let me clarify your language. you say it is available and accessible, but it sounds like under whatever plan you present,

some of those 20 million people will lose their a current coverage that they have. >> i have never thought the individual mandate was a good idea. i've been against the individual mandate since day one. and in my book, repealing the individual mandate is on an equal par with repealing the affordable care act. i recognize that without the individual mandate, there are some people who will say no, not me, i'm not going to do that. it is part of our job to make people understand, help people understand how responsible it is to have insurance. the problem has become things have gotten so expensive that people look at it and just shrug their should derers and walk awl bill clinton said it best, you have a crazy system where people are paying twice as much for half the care. that is a recipe for disaster. >> president trump said last month we're going to have insurance for everybody. there was a philosophy if you can't pay for it, you can't get

did. that won't happen with us. >> and i support the president. i want everyone to have insurance. >> but not everybody is going to have insurance. >> i think everyone should have a policy that is being affordab. it doesn't mean cheap, but it means affordable within dispose able income families have. >> if you assume the presideyou that everybody should have coverage and you think it's possible that it should be affordable for everybody, why won't you say yes, everybody will have coverage. >> everyone will have coverage available to them. i recognize that not everyone will prevail upon the coverage that is strabl. and as a -- we learned that during the part bhchlt of medicaid or remember back in 2003, we were criticized for not making it mandatory that seniors have to buy prescription drug benefits. he with didn we did not want to make it mandatory because we thought there should be free choice. we ended up w with 96% of senior

respect obtaining some type of drug coverage and 96% were satisfied with the coverage that t they had. >> what is the date that a we'll see your plan? >> you will see movement within the next couple of weeks as far as my subcommittee is concerned. as far as getting something through the senate, is that is a bigger guess and i don't have an answer for you there. but we're very close having something moved through the if you would committee within the next koou next couple weeks. >> thank you very much. >> so you have policy and politics. president trump is accused of going bad on his press staff by supporting his press secretary's decision to spot check staffer's cellphones. the president answers the accusation ahead. ur path to rett may not always be clear. but at t. rowe price, we can help guide your retirement savings. so wherever your retirement journey takes you, we can help you reach your goals. call us or your advisor t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

i would have handled it differently than sean, but sean handles it his way and i'm okay with it. >> they have a leak issue and that is not unusual. joining us, host of reliable source, brian stelter and media analyst bill carter. again just to confirm what i was just saying, this white house is leak. we are getting information out of them on a regular basis that is obviously what is per tesching the president. and instigated the spot check of cellphones which is really unusual and could create some loyalty problems within that staff. >> yeah, i'm struck by the fact that the president is confirming that this leak investigation happened inside the whoite hous with the review of staffer cellphones. this is not a drip, drip, drip of leak situation. this is clearly a gusher of leaks both from aides inside the white house, inside the west wing, and from people in other government agencies concerned about the administration. >> and our reporting from jich r

je jeff zeleny is that president trump con condoned the checking cellphones and that creates an atmosphere of paranoia and then you never know if that creates more leaks because people aren't loyal to somebody who has demanded their cellphone or if it quashes it. >> in the evidence that the leak of the event happened right after they did check the cellphones. it was immediately leaked what happened. so the evidence is clear that there are people giving the zup the information and feel saefr enough safe enough to do it even after the caine mutiny style strip search. and i think it shows that whoever is doinging this has real motivation to do it and they're not afraid. >> and we have to rely on the anonymous sources sometimes. we don't have any other choice. people feel they can't put their names on certain information because they feel they would lose their jobs or even get

prosecuted for it in certain cases. so we're in this tricky spot where we have to increasingly rely on the anonymous sources inside government to understand what has been happening with these tension and turmoil inside the trump administration. >> but it's not new, also. >> that's right. >> they're creating a lohostili because of their attacking of leaks can that may make people more reluctant to come out. a senior official at hud or -- usually they will give that you on background. maybe they won't do that because they have the caine mutiny thing going on. is i guess sean spicer has the balls in his hand. >> are no cavity search yet. >> no but made them turn eeover their devices. >> fethere are new ways to communicate with sources. but i believe trust in media is low right now, we have to do a

clear job and we have to rely on anonymity sometimes. >> priebus came out talking about intelligence officials high ranking ones but he wouldn't say whorks he was doin the sank thin same thing. >> the white house just addressed his decision not to go to the correspondents' dinner. there is a long tradition on the press and president coming together, and here is president trump on his decision. >> i believe a lot of the stories appear fiskction, they just pull it out of air. i just thought in light of the fact of fake news and all of the other things that we're talking about now, i thought it would be inappropriate. >> too causey? >> no. look, i have great respect for the press. i have great respect for reporters and the whole profession. now, with all of that being said, i just thought it would be better if i didn't do the dinner.

>> bill, what are your thoughts on that? >> well, a couple things. first of all, he said the fact of fake news. it's not a fact. it's something that he just puts out there. it's not a fasct. he's extremely selective in terms of who he describes as fake news. but it seems that he's set up a hostile situation that he doesn't want to go into. that would not be a very favorable crowd. he likes to perform in front of crowds that love him. i think he doesn't want to do it for his own comfort factor. i don't think he wants to give the press the satisfaction of having a comedian get up and make jokes with about him. >> and it does stand to be repeated. once again, he says things are fake and outright lies. he never gives proof of any of them. and that is something to remember. >> and he said maybe i'll go to the dinner next year. classic art ever tof the deal. >> and brian, i always found to be a sort of strange setup. even when it was president

obama, president bush before him, 364 days a year, we have some edadversarial relationship and then is this one night, we're all yucking it up and all sort of being cozy. and it always did strike me as a little strange given everything that was happening in the world. lot of people liked that we could forget about it for a night, but i don't know that president trump is wrong to sit this one out. >> is it it's about going back basics right now. and it's time to go back to basics for this dinner also. >> write brian, bill, thank you. >> there is something to be said by being decent enough to come and address the people that you take on. thanks to our enter new interna. for the u.s. viewers, there is a lot of news. we're look forward to a positive upbeat presentation. >> i think you'll like what and you hear. >> if past is prologue, the president will use populist rhetor i
