something that works on trump's steven miller on the white house added to that? >> there are a number of them the worrisome thing is that behalf that people in this town lawn saying the president is out there. people come here and become always right, and these judges are all idiots. i don't want to speculate, but radicalized in america. maybe don't know this as much. not the fact that they come from i think you get a better case there's probably 13 or 14 other >> one thing to watch out for is their countries planning to do the change in the language there. part of secretary kelly's job is harm when they come here. countries, not all of them muslim countries, not all of you know, they really haven't covering religious minorities. selling other controversial them in the middle east, that the dhs still has the ability -- immigration promises from this have very questionable vetting been able to provide the kind of administration. listen p to him here. procedures that we can rely on, the principles still have the wolf blitzer asked him one of documentation, the kind of ability to do that through the key questions. you're at the border. and then if we overlay support to hang this thing on, waivers, but it's not written you have increased enforcement, and this is just another example into the language the same way. and a family is coming across additional vetting procedures, that seems to be a legal the border. the chances are there is an adult who is of that. illegally entering the united modification. another is what happens after states with children. the 90 days. what do you do? there are complaints galore. two kind of that some of these left and right. >> show us the numbers. iraq was dropped for the >> let me be precise. if you get some young kids who show us the numbers what the original list. impact is personally on people. 12, 13, 14 more he says. show us the numbers as to how six could satisfy those concerns are coming in -- manage to sneak with the time they had, why signing this. many people will be thrown off. aren't they in there? with the 90 days and come off into the united states with why didn't the administration -- their parents, our department of sean spicer didn't answer the list, and third is the if you have a bigger problem or questions on camera. homeland security personnel they worry they can't do that they didn't have any press number that are raised that 300 going to separate the children it couldn't be worse. because then they will lose in the courts? of the fbi has a bead on. from their moms and dads? >> there are many americans that >> i think there are so many conference. there wasn't the type of >> yes, i am considering in at some point somebody is going will not have health insurance. questions about why they made order to deter more movement some decisions regarding this. to force an answer to where many that have health insurance you know, they clearly had this opportuni along this terribly dangerous will not have a policy as opportunity, although the feeling that the administration those people came from, how many protected today under the set of countries in their mind. was proud of this, and they wanted attention on it. affordable care act. they based it in part off of, you know, i mean, it's sort of of them are still refugees network. >> to suggest that what we put versus citizens, and that could i am considering exactly that. you know, a list from the obama announced. >> i think part of that was they will be well cared for as on president trump's desk, you administration. everybody knew the first be essential to unpacking kind we deal with their parents. know, sets a new entitlement, i think they felt like that could help them move things question of those three cabinet secretaries. of how this rule withstands. >> again, not agreeing or keeps in taxes, doesn't repeal it would have been do you >> as we watch the legal disagreeing. believe the cabinet secretary? challenges unfold on these that's the policy debate that will happen in town. along. say >> it would have been a all of obama care. we have to do better. questions, i do think it's safe >> this is obama care light. question. to sayed to it will not pass. the president, too, is why i'll secretary kelly clearly conservatives aren't going to give secretary kelly credit for explained what they're thinking coming up and doing interviews. about doing. if you are having a

controversial debate about take it. he has been up front about this. something, lay it out there. the first time around to the p. i get the policy in the sense that he thinks of it as a 1. >> plus, trump travel ban 6.0. we'll see what happens. deterrent. word about these things spread they do say this time they feel on better legal ground. pretty quickly on both sides of the point man on the issue says they've taken care of the green the border. he is trying to say i want it card issue. it doesn't solve a big problem. known that if you come across >> there's probably 13 or 14 they've dropped iraq because of this way, we will separate the other countries, not all of them promises from the iraqi government and iraq's minors and we'll put them into muslim countries, not all of foster care and the parents then them in the middle east, that cooperation that they can figure have very questionable vetting that one out. more narrowly tailored. will be dealing with the you hear the aclu, we're still detention hearings or be shipped procedures that we can rely on. back. he wants it known on the other side of the border that if you going to go through a court fight here. >> and still, no proof. >> that doesn't surprise me. do this, you're at risk of i think the administration is separating your family. leading republicans say probably right. they are on more solid ground. however, how is it going to play president trump's wiretapping out on this side? >> i think that's -- i mean, it allegations put his credibility at risk. i'm glad that there was some gives certainly a lot of changes here that are based on data that they got in this democrats take it a step ammunition to critics of it. further. interim process, and there's you know, to have some of the >> this is simply a president still this political eland how most, you know, hospitable cases who cannot separate fact from fantasy, and as a commander in chief, doesn't know right from vetting and the folks gathering or cases that you can have to protest at the airports. sympathy for that family being wrong. >> with us this day to share by the way, not nearly as large ripped apart at the border, and those images. their reporting and their or as loud of crowds this time i mean, the reason -- one of the reasons that i think there is so insights, cnn sarah murray, margaret of bloomberg politics, much opposition to the first around.s executive order was those images matt of the boston globe, and at the airports. you know, you had people there, you know, who were detained, and you had people cheering once mary katherine hcatherine hamm they came off. federalist. there's an instant revolt on the i think images liking that can be pretty powerful if that's what we end up seeing in a right. couple of weeks or months.

in you drop your insurance and you want to buy it again, there's a penalty. >> what do you do with them? the house leadership plan, you will pay the penalty to the you put them in detention centers that we already believed to be overcrowded. insurance company. this is in all liablehood unconstitutional. trump wants to detain more it's the individual mandate, but you pay your penalty not to the people. we put them in our fantastic government, but to a private foster care system. i mean, what part of that seems insurance company. so much of their bill is a like a feasible solution and who bail-out for the insurance companies. from the administration is going >> it is just day one, and those to be out there defending it are republicans. now, the house plan wants to when, like matt says, you have look at the details. it keeps the most popular obama people who find these sympathetic examples and say this is a kid who has been plan -- separated from their one >> also keeps the prohibition relative they know and is now staying with a foster family from denying coverage to those that doesn't even speak the same with preexisting conditions, but it would repeal the mandate that language. >> you put them in foster everyone must get insurance. families and then they're dreamers? what happens on the other side it would change medicaid rules of that? that many companies have used to >> i think you might be right. the idea is to deter before it gets to this. expand coverage, and it helps >> the issue is to talk about it publicly to deter people on the with subsidies. other side. instead the new house gop plan it's difficult that secretary says tax credits are a better kelly said the goal is to try to incentive to get insurance. see if they have family members in the states legally here and >> this is obama care gone. then pair them up with them, but it's the process. this is the first and most during the process, you get into the politics. important step to giving relief the beginning of many debates, to americans from this terrible the ripples of this issue.

law. >> the facts are we've arrived up next, new tensions between at the scene of a pretty big the fbi and the white house as wreck, and we're trying to clean the stunning weekend wiretap up the mess. >> we have a choice. we can act now, or we can keep allegations raise more credibility questions for the president and for his team. fiddling around and squander this opportunity. house republicans are choosing to . to act now. but kind is honest. >> they are choosing to act now. this bar is made with cranberries and almonds. mary katherine, let me start with you. this is a house republican plan. so, guess what? we call it cranberry almond. we have a republican president. give kind a try. republicans think not only can we repeal, but we can replace. however, in the past couple of hours the cato institute, libertarian leaning group, the heritage foundation, a conservative group, and americans for prosperity, more of a tea party group, all say this is a bad plan. >> right. i mean, there are reasons that they didn't want to come out with the details of the plan, i'm val. the orange money retirement squirrel from voya. right, and part of it is because you're going to come under fire i represent the money you save for the future. almost no matter what is in it. who's he? i think there are many on the right that will have issues with he's the green money you can spend now. what's up? many parts of this because the gonna pay some bills, maybe buy a new tennis racket. popular parts of the plan are not conservative, right? he's got a killer backhand. they are expensive, and you have when it's time to get organized for retirement, it's time to get voya. to figure out how to marry the moderates and the tea partiers on this stuff, and it's going to be tough. some of this has people making

noise to get changes in the bill, but this was always going to be extremely hard because an entitlement was given to people. it's hard to take it away. it was hard for obama to do it even while straight up lying about the fact that people were going to be able to keep their plans. lost mine four times. i digress. a compliant press basically saying that would end up being the case. that wapt ts not the case. it would not be true again. they've won three national elections based on this pitch that they were going to repeal. one of them with donald trump at the top of the ticket, and they've won all three of those times, so i think there might be some area for boldness here that they're not taking. >> the burden is on them to do this because of that, though. the 2010-2014, and then 2016. the obama re-election year, and the republicans didn't get wiped down below. they're moving this bill forward without a lot of the key details. number one, how much would it cost? number two, how many people would be affected? how many people have health nobody does unlimited like t-mobile. insurance today, like obama care or not? how many people that have it while the other guys gouge for unlimited data... wouldn't have it under the

republican plan? that's called a score. t-mobile one save you hundreds a year. the congressional budget office needs to score it. the urgency is to move quickly, right now get two lines of data for $100 dollars. but nancy pelosi, the democratic leader, saying today and most of with taxes and fees included. the democrats just stepping aside. they want to let the republicans that's right 2 unlimited lines for just $100 bucks. all in. have their own internal war over this saying how dare do you and right now, pair up those two lines with two free samsung galaxy s7 when you switch. advance this when you don't do the math? >> let's be honest about the number the democrats care about here. they don't care about the cost yup! free. of this plan. republicans are going to care a so switch and save hundreds when you go all unlimited with t-mobile. lot about the price tag on it. what democrats are going to focus on are the number of people who will lose health insurance, who currently have health insurance, and then they are going to run across the country, and they are going to find those people who are at risk of losing health insurance and then you will see them written about in newspapers and see them on television, and that is the reason this is going to be so difficult for republicans because mary katherine said it's really difficult to take away an entitlement that you've already given someone, and you will always find a young sick person or an old grandma or someone who is sympathetic, who is going to lose their coverage, and so republicans are going to take heat for that. it will be interesting to watch this party that's now spent, you know, years running on this, try to actually do it.

it's almost running and winning elections is the easy part. it's the governing that's the hard part. >> it is. when you have something so complicated, and you're right, republicans have the high ground politically because they can make the case. we campaigned this on 2010. we got the house. we campaigned on this in 2014. we got the senate back. we won the presidential election. the details are hard. when you have something so complicated communicating is important. you should communicate with clarity, and you don't want to drive anybody away. here's congressman jason chafitz. one of the key players in trying to help the leadership sell its plan. he is already walking this one back because people said not the way you want to say this. >> we're getting rid of the individual mandate. we're getting rid of those things that people said that they don't want, and you know, americans have choices, and they've got to make a choice, and so maybe rather than getting that new iphone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars, maybe they should invest in their own health care. they've got to make those decisions themselves. >> that was a little too honest, wasn't it? >> to the point, it is -- what he is saying essentially is this

is your responsibility. we're going to a market-based system, and we're going to help you, but you have to do it, but that's probably not communications 101. >> a big part of -- a significant part of what is destabilized, the viability of obama care in its current form is the kind of detraction of it by republicans in congress and in state legislatures all across the country. republicans have an interesting choice now, which is do they zbliefrmgt three days and six hours since president trump shore up and validate the republican alternative to obama dropped a bottom shell accusing care in a way that will support president obama of wiretapping it and maintain it at the state trump tower. level and make it more he offered no evidence. he is demanding congress affordable or not? the cost part, the cost piece of investigate. one problem for the white house? it, whether you are giving up even many republicans see that your iphone or whether the as a cop-out. government is going to subsidyize is, of course, the biggest part. it's not even really keeping >> it is a very serious charge your kids until they're 26. and one that needs those kids are cheap. it makes it more likely that they will say, hey, i rely on insurance. i want to keep buying insurance. corroboration, and i'm not in favor of congress continuing an that's good for the system if investigation. you are going to take away a first, i believe the president should tell the american people mandate. it's making sure sick people can what evidence he has that this get coverage mandating the coverage for women. kind of action was carried out

it's these pieces that are by the previous president. really expensive, and until >> evidence with the allegation. there is some republican interesting theory there from coalition agreement on who pays senator mccain. for it and having to guarantee the accusation was made saturday it. >> to the point you made earlier, mary katherine, it at a presunrise tweet storm. takes a couple of minutes to figure that out. yes, that's trademark trump. the president of the united states, the former president, this one more consequential. did say if you like your plan, >> the president of the united you can keep your plan. states put his own reputation, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. the reputation of his didn't turn out anywhere close to that way. predecessor, and the reputation >> it's almost as if one could of his nation at risk to get at have predicted it, as i did. >> but for people to actually have that happen to them, takes some time, and the republicans least a draw out of the next 24 hours news. need to pass this bill, and then >> what do you think of that you deal with the consequences assessment from general hayden? later, which makes this a giant test for the president of the united states. we know the president was angry. we know the president was mad at he has this internal feud in his his own people, including the attorney general for recusing own party. today he is having some of the himself. we know the president if you talked to his friends and house deputy whips, for those are the people that help count advisors and aides thinks that there is this determined the voetsds, members of the calculated effort within the leadership team, but they go out intelligence community and the federal bureaucracy to undermine and count the votes. are you for it? what do you need for you to be his presidency. general hayden says essentially for it? he is having dinner this week he is risking the credibility of the country and himself with ted cruz. personally by trying to change the subject with a tweet storm. >> he is. he is fully prepared to travel the country and make his case. our wonderful new health care bill is now out for review and negotiation. obama care is a complete and a lot of this is fraijnkly total disaster, is imploding irresponsible, and yesterday he

was asking sean spicer, what is the evidence? fast. the negotiation part is what where did he go et this idea? makes it interesting. how involved will this president you know, they point to the house and senate are going to be, and how involved does speaker ryan want him to be when investigate. it comes to where are the essentially the house and senate are going to investigate where the president got this semi-colons? what stays and what goes? information to publicly have this tweet. >> you look back to 2009 and the you know, it's a house of democrats and despite president mirrors sort of thing. trump's newfound realization it's hard to sort of discern where this is leading. that this is complicated. it's a damaging thing, i think, we know it's complicated for a for us to -- >> damaging thing. the president, again, if he has this evidence, put it out, but while. max bauccus is working his way the president much the united and there's a lot of questions states accuses his predecessor about universal health care and of doing something. how to do this. now, he is either accusing the the difference now is that it's being sort of attacked on both former president as he suggested sides. of nixonian abuses of power or conservatives are attacking it over the cost of it and there's saying the previous administration got a wiretap, got a legally approved wiretap, some moderate republicans who which we don't know. are worried about medicaid and we don't know the answer to this yet. >> there's a third option too. >> k on. what happens in their states. >> the third option is that at the time he made the tweet the there's a tug in one direction, president thought that the and it makes it more complicated former president could legally given the fractious nature, have ordered a tap on him. >> i would hope the current president of the united states understands that no president of which needs more leadership from the president to figure out how the united states can snap his are we going to do this, and what are we going to do? fingers and order a wiretap.

>> i think trump is always a at least that's what the law wild card, because he is not deeply interested in health care says. unless there's some mystical power we don't know about. reporters at the white house, policy even though i think he several of you spent a lot of can be a pretty good salesman time at the white house -- i did and can speak to what people are that once. i'll go back every now and then actually feeling on obama care. i'm sure he knows because he maybe. were trying to get sean spicer, watches the polls. the press secretary, to lay out for instance, more people are the evidence. hurt than helped by obama care >> there's no question that is what the polls are saying. something happened. there are stories on both sides the question is is it it of this, and i'm sure he is good at honing in on that if he were surveillance? is it a wiretap or whatever? out on the trail doing that or there's been enough reporting talking on tv about it. that strongly suggests that the problem is does he go and sit in a room with a senator one day that says, well, i want this something occurred. part preserved, and he goes >> is that the new standard of that's a pretty good idea. journalism? and it throws off the whole cbo strongly suggests. score. that's the real wild card. there's enough reporting that he can sell, but what's he strongly suggests the easter decide to end up selling? bunny is using sugar >> that's a great point of the i think he says sort of rightly debate. i suspect even months this to the intel community, if you have the goods, bring it. debate will be with us. they're leaking everything else, the next new travel ban will be but they have not leaked this in court challenged, just like the first version. the white house says it is alleged -- i think there's a prepared to fight all the way to reason for why he is saying what the supreme court if necessary. is there is there. it's not out of the realm of the possibility that the obama administration might politicize ♪ arms to go after political opponents or even the press,

that is part of the investigation. >> do you believe the president when he says that? >> well, like i said, it needs an investigation, so we can find out what the facts are. we'll follow the facts wherever they may lead. >> i think, largely, was it appropriate for him to say that, to accuse president obama of this? >> i don't know what -- i don't know what the basis of his statement is, so i really can't comment on that. >> i don't know what the basis on a perfect car, of his statement is. i can't comment on it. then smash it into a tree. that's where a lot of your insurance company republicans are put in an raises your rates. uncomfortable position because maybe you should've done now they're all being asked. more research on them. you're the republicans. for drivers with you're in charge of the accident forgiveness, congress. the president says this. liberty mutual won't do you have any reason to believe that is true? raise your rates due to your first accident. and if you do have an accident, >> i think now -- so now this exists on two tracks. our claims centers are available to assist you 24/7. one is what's happening in washington and one is what's call happening in the rest of the country? at least in the initial days for a free quote today. since this happened, there's no overwhelming evidence in polling or anything like that that this liberty stands with you™. is an issue that, like, average americans deeply care about. liberty mutual insurance. in fact, it might be confusing to a lot of people. we'll see how that emerges. now, in washington the separate track has happened where republicans are starting to distance themselves from the

tweet itself. some of them publicly seeking clarity. others just saying i don't want to talk about it. and where it is go about to empower the democratic minorities in these committees that are doing the investigations to push on this tech: don't let a cracked windshtrust safelite.plans. front for disclosure of with safelite's exclusive "on my way text"... information that normally wouldn't be disclosed because you'll know exactly when we'll be there. it's under active investigation. giving you more time for what matters most. that is a track that seems to be playing out separately from the (team sing) safelite repair, safelite replace. way this debate gets conducted in public, where average voters are kind of like what are we talking about? >> when people are questioning the president's credibility, when people are questioning the relationship between the president and his fbi director, that can have serious consequences going forward. we are told from sources that director comey was incredulous when he saw the president say this. he says there's no such -- he says internally he hasn't said anything publicly, that there's no such wiretap, that there was no such case. somebody at this table put the question to the white house press secretary. >> what about the president's view of the fbi director? >> i haven't asked him that yet. i think he is focused today first and foremost on this effort to keep the country safe.

>> nonresponsive. >> a lot of wishy washy answers from spicer on that question yesterday. i asked him twice. he was asked also in the gaggle. he was wishy washy there. it will be interesting to see if he or the president or anyone from the west wing has spoken with the fbi director since then if they have a more coherent answer today. obviously, the relationship between these two guys is super weird already. if you just look at the back it's my decision ito make beauty last. drop of everything that happened during the presidential roc® retinol, started visibly reducing campaign, i mean, comey was an enemy of donald trump one day my fine lines and wrinkles in one week. and a friend of him the next, and the longer i use it, depending on what he was doing the better it works. really to hillary clinton. retinol correxion® from roc. this is an interesting methods, not miracles.™ relationship. >> as this plays out on capitol hill today, the man who at the justice department will be in charge of this investigation if he is confirmed the deputy attorney general because, remember, the attorney general last week said i will have nothing to do with any investigation that has anything to do with the presidential campaign. jeff sessions has stepped aside. his incoming deputy will have to deal with this, and you have got to be surprised. democrats had some tough

questions. take two of the trump travel >> as far as i'm concerned, ban means round two over its every investigation conducted by the department of justice is an legality. concede now that this revised independent investigation. >> can't get the tape on the ban is more narrowly focused and more carefully written, but they air. we'll come back to that. will still challenge it on the new deputy attorney general grounds it is to them a thinly will say every investigation is vailed muslim ban. independent, and dianne feinstein pressed her case that >> the revised ban issued by the they should have an independent counsel. that one does not have the gas right now. president is the muslim ban 2.0. even some democrats privately saying why don't we let the intelligence committee investigations go forward first. it is a reincarnation of the we'll see if there's anything there, and at that point we have original failed and flawed that conversation. muslim ban that was blocked by >> chuck grassley, the chairman, courts across the country. those are the first questions that were about russia almost for some reason president trump trying to clear the air, allow and his advisors like losing, him to respond and say no. you know, i don't have and they like losing badly over background that's conflicting on and over again. what other coune this. you know, to sort of take the pressure off for any independent investigation which seems to be where the collective will right now is at least on the republican side. >> it happens for a reason, and i guess they should get a chance to go through this investigation first if you are just punishing

the recusal from the beginning. i'm not sure what the point of that was. >> he hasn't talked to jeff sessions about this, and of course, he is not there yet. he will be able to see. he has no idea what the evidence is. there are many layers to this onion. it is that jeff sessions recused himself, in part, because democrats claim that his testimony to congress during his confirm's hearing -- he had no contact with the russians, and he did have two meetings with the russian ambassador. now senator sessions, attorney general sessions, said he had those in his capacity as a senator and had nothing to do with the campaign, and so that he believes he was answering truthfully if perhaps not completely. he has corrected the record by sending a letter to the committee, explaining himself. the man who asked the first question, today said not good enough. i want you to come back and testify. >> i think senator sessions should come back. i think he owes it to this committee to come back and to

explain himself. >> how likely? he will have to come back at some point. he is the attorney general at some point in the course of a year. he will come back before the senate judiciary committee for oversight questions. that's what happens. all cabinet secretaries get called up. he will at some point. is it in his interest to try to do it sooner, to sit there and take there from the democrats and say, okay, are you done? put it away. or will the trump administration say don't give it to them? >> it's just politically speaking i think there will be three more outrages in the next week that will bury this idea, and he can just move on. like, i'm just being very bare-knuckles about it. >> based on the history of the last 46 days, you are probably correct. >> i think his answer to be generous was lawyerly. he thought he was answering maybe what was exactly at issue there and not giving anything else. >> to borrow a term, i found his answer clintonian. >> i'll give you that one. >> i do think this white house is struggling with this russia issue. they have not found a good way to navigate it. they have not really even embraced the fact that it is an

issue. they just believe it's a political attack. the intelligence community found that russia tried to meddle in our u.s. elections, and they tried to do it to benefit donald trump, that sources have said there were contacts between donald trump's campaign officials and suspected russian operatives that this campaign and this president have said repeatedly and people in this administration now that there were no contacts with russian officials and now he found out that it wasn't just michael flynn who had contact with the russian ambassador. it wasn't just jeff sessions who had contact with the russian ambassador. there was also a meeting with jared kushner that we didn't learn about until later. there are reasons that people want to look into this. it doesn't mean that the investigation will find anything, but unlike donald trump's wiretapping tweets, there are bread crumbs that lead us to want more answers to these questions. >> they say all these meetings were courtesy calls, and they were harmless. however, after saying pour months there were no contacts,

they could have helped themselves. they don't think they should have to answer these questions, but they've hurt the president more than they've helped themselves by being stubborn in disclosing these context. the presidency hasn't stopped donald trump from tweeting things that just aren't true. first, a remarkable feel good moment at the white house this morning. a presidential surprise for some tourists. look carefully over the president's shoulder, though at who is watching. >> folks -- hillary clinton right there. hard to see. we'll be right back. alright, how's this for a tv show. sous chef. lawyer by day, prep-cook by night. also, his name is sous. no. sloppy joseph. a middle-aged man who's trying to get his life together, but he can't - he's to sloppy. huhhh - no! here you go. i got this.

welcome back. through the first 46 days of the trump presidency, washington has wrestled with when to take the president's word seriously and literally. it's an ongoing issue because so much of what the president says is demonstrably false. take an example from this morning. the president tweeted 122 vicious prisoners from guantanamo have returned to the battlefield. that sounds frightening. like evidence of the obama administration policies undermine national security. it's also not true. 113 of those prisoners were released during the bush administration. according to a report from the director of national intelligence. president trump has veered from the facts often. we'll spare you a checklist -- the president's defenders say most of it's just trump being trump. speaking in a non-washington way. democrats say the president's willingness in their view to distort reality on the little

things has grave implications. especially, they say, when the president makes evidence-free accusations like that his predecessor had trump tower bugged. >> donald trump is destroying the credibility of the office of president 140 characters at a time. this charge that he has made about some wiretapping before the election without a sin tilla of evidence, no evidence whatsoever, has been refuted not only by the former president, but also by the former director of national intelligence and head of the federal bureau of investigation. >> this is kind of two different issues here that are getting in the wiretap allegations that the president made. you can demonstrate dozens of occasions where what the president says, whether it's crowd size, fisa, or things like that, little things that are trivial, or bigger things, like the gitmo things. if he wants to complain about people being released from gitmo, he can complain about it, but he should get his facts straight, right?

>> or his accusation about the illegal vote. three million illegal votes, which they've established a task force in the process of establishing. they haven't -- they call for these investigations to sort of get to the bottom of a claim that the president has made rather than sort of investigate something and then come out publicly with something, and i think it's damaging. i mean, i think facts are important right now, and i think it's important that we stand up for the facts. >> it's interesting when you talk to republicans about this because they don't want to talk about this. when you go to them with these things, they just say, please. they literally say please, can we talk about something else. they don't want to be put on the spot. they don't want to criticize the president. a lot of them give him some grace saying he is from outside of town, is he new, he has never done this before. give him some grace to learn, and he will get better, and then they have another example and they say, okay, he is not going to change. >> some of it there is too much uproar over, but some tweets are, to use a technical term, crazy town. they're not correct. it's a totally different way of doing business, but it does have politically occasionally this -- this is why i think they keep doing it. him being him was how he won,

right? he won with these historically low numbers. i think sort of mastering the media cycle is what he is comfortable doing. he is comfortable throwing things out there and having it be fairly if are you an outside nation, an ally of the u.s. or an adversary or somewhere in between, you're not going to sean spicer's briefing every day, and it's not just rough and tumble domestic politics. you need to be able it take an administration's word at something and then i think that is an area of concern for a lot of these republicans that are saying either i don't want to

talk about this right now or are beginning to voice a little bit of criticism. is there concern about the implications on foreign policy? >> people say listen to the cabinet secretary, listen to secretary tillerson and secretary kelly. don't listen to the president of the united states, at least on that point. >> i don't think that's going to fly. i think enough world leaders and members of congress have watched enough rounds of this to know that the president is speaking for the president and is not afraid of contradicting his top officials and isn't afraid of contradicting sean spicer, and i think we're sort of getting into this pivot point. or will he get in his own way? we're now that we actually have a piece of legislation that they're looking at i think going to begin to get an answer. >> the president's words, whether they're tweeted or said matter more than on domestic

policy because they're more effectively policy. >> i think you are exactly right. senator elizabeth warren. the gue wrong insurance plan. no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, you won't have to worry about replacing your car because you'll get the full value back including depreciation. and if you have more than one liberty mutual policy, you qualify for a multi-policy discount, saving you money on your car and home coverage. call for a free quote today. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

my belly pain i could build a small city with all the over-the-counter products i've used. enough! i've tried enough laxatives to cover the eastern seaboard. i've climbed a mount everest of fiber. probiotics? enough! (avo) if you've had enough, tell your doctor what you've tried and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under six, and it should not be given to children six to less than eighteen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess

and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.

let's close around the table, ask our reporters to share from their notebook and get you out ahead of big political news. >> well, president trump could use a win, but so could his chief of staff rooins priebeeb priebus. i was told he tried to regain control of the narrative and say, look, we're going to roll out the new immigration order, and everything is going to be seamless. it went pretty much okay, but there is no doubt that he is kind of in hot water right now. things have been a little bit of a mess at the white house, and more people are aiming their knives at him and hoping to turn to health care, turn to policy, be more productive. that will benefit the president, but it will also help turn down the heat on the chief of staff. >> we'll check back friday.

margaret. >> after yesterday's travel ban, executive order was announced. we got another little bit of news, which is that the iraqi prime minister is going to be meeting with president trump later this month on the visit at the white house. that's a visit that most likely could not have taken place if if not for iraqis removal from that list of seven, now six countries. that's going to be an interesting meeting. we expect them to talk about isis, among other things, and we'll see if there are some other leaders from that part of the world who are going to be coming over right about the same time. more meetings. >> maybe the president will tell him next time you go to mosul, don't goive him a six month advanced notice. right? >> inside elizabeth warren's office is a map of massachusetts, and there is the law that created the consumer financial protection bureau. this is the area that republicans are trying to gut, and donald trump is sort of after that bureau. this was also the motivating factor. she was passed over for that bureau. that motivated her to run for senate in the first place.

watch that bureau. watch elizabeth warren, and what happens if it gets gutted, and if that provides a motivating factor if she has presidential ambitions and she kind of met it. you know? >> i bet she does. mary katherine. >> interesting switch in a court path of a transgender student in virginia trying to gain access to male facilities. it was supposed to go to the supreme court because of the trump administration's vacating of the obama ruling or sort of guidance on this. it will now go back down to a lower court. i think it's an interesting development because it seems the supreme court in the absence of that guidance isn't looking to make the grand sort of precedent-setting national standard on this. it may have to be done through the actual making of law someday. we'll see how the court case goes. >> the way it's supposed to work. god forbid on that one. thanks for joining us on "inside politics." minutes away, sean spicer will be on camera today, we are told. wolf blitzer will bring you that live after a quick break.
