western digital dominates both high-end and low end of that market. [closing relbinges] >> we think that is interesting opportunity for investors. ashley: thanks for joining us. they're clapping, they're waving. markets are closing. go to david asman and melissa francis for here "after the bell." >> thank you very much, ashley. stocks in kind of a holding pattern ahead of tomorrow's huge vote on health care. final moments of trading, like it will not quite make it in there. the s&p and nasdaq ending in the green. i'm david asman. melissa: i'm melissa francis, this is "after the bell." more on the markets. a very busy day in washington. here is whats we have for you this hour. just break, new he details coming to light from the intelligence community. the president getting a briefing at the white house this afternoon. more on what could prove some of his claims of surveilance. the republican health care plan is in jeopardy with less than 24 hours before a critical house vote.

last minute wheeling and dealing taking place right now as critics warn there will not be enough votes to pass it. house freedom caucus member mo brooks. met with the white house today. he is still voting no. he is going to tell us why. connell: let's go back to the markets. the dow, really ending a little bit down ahead of tomorrow's huge vote. lori rothman on the floor of the new york stock exchange. what are you watching, lori? reporter: the vix popped up a little over 12, it is well, well under a level of 20, which is the long-term average for the volatility index. folks are calling this crisis fatigue. analysts say every time there is a shock to the system like 1% decline we saw yesterday, everybody buys in. they pile back in. you guys brought up a great point, this vote to repeal obama care coming tomorrow, depending on that outcome, that could be the next catalyst for this

market. today, call it a wait-and-see. talk about specific stocks. nike reporting earnings, rising sales the other day. but still softer sales than what wall street was looking for. nike also reported a sales warning, concerns about growth. they have even more competition from the likes of under armour and adidas. a real tough session for nike, off 7%. the worst performer on the dow today. sears similar problem. this is affecting nike, a changing retail environment. apparently sears which fell 12 1/3% today having trouble accessing liquidity. their credit is so poor they can't continue to stock intories for business. the concerns about growth or the company staying solvent. so watch that one. not a pretty picture it. on a brighter note we saw tech turn around issues, hopefully we pop those up for you to see for yourself. symantec, microsoft, micron, intel.

tech has been such a high-flyer, with markets a little shaky investors glued to washington. we've seen a little bit of pause, some pullback here. so we saw a bit of a relief today. back to you. david: lori rothman, thank you. melia. melissa: proving the president's claim? members ofhe trump traition team including president trump were caught up in quote, incidental collection of communications of legal surveillance operations of foreign targets. according to devin nunes our blake burman is live at the white house with latest on this one. interesting turn of events, blake. reporter: there is a lot to sift through, especially devin nunes came out here in front of the cameras at the white house after he spoke with president trump, basically could unveil some things but not others clearly because of the highly classified nature of it. the headline, no doubt the chairman of the house intelligence committee saying there was quote possible surveillance activities that he

has been able to see in some highly sensitive documents that took place on the trump transition team after the election. he was asked whether or not this was quote, political surveillance? and he would not close the book on that being the possibility. nuons in though was able to say, delineate he says, this was nothing to do with possible between the trump campaign and russia. instead he labeled this down to potential political surveillance he was highly disturbed. listen. >> what i have read seems to me to be some level of surveillance activity, perhaps legal, but i don't know that it's right and i don't know that the american people would be comfortable with what i have read but let us get all the reports. reporter: what he said disturbed him, surveillance activity ended

up, a, making it into a intelligence report, and b, some of the names were unmasked. the names were made readily available to those within the intelligence community. president trump was asked about being briefed by mr. nunes moments ago and here was his response. >> i somewhat do, i must tell you i somewhat do. i very mappreciated thfact theyound what ey found and i somewhat do. reporter: so on the one hand, melissa, questions, why was there incidental collection ever the trump transition team after he had won the election? critics will say, why was there surveillance needed to begin with in the first place? this story very, very much unfolding as the headlight care debate here at the white house and capitol hill as the vote is expected to take place tomorrow on the american health care act. here at the white house there was a full-court press. white house press secretary sean spicer saying there is no plan b, no backup plan. they are going throttle what

they have on the table. >> if it doesn't pass, is there a plan b? >> there is no plan, there is plan a and plan a. we're going to get this done. >> so you're confident, 100% confident? >> we're going to get it done, that's it, plain and simple. reporter: as we've been detailing the magic number is 21, should 21 republicans defect this bill will be killed tomorrow. the house freedom caucus here, some 25 members it believes as it stands at this moment will vote no against it. one of the deputy whips was here at the white house earlier today, he said president trump is the closer on this one. that is why they're bringing republicans here to meet with the president. i asked sean spicer about it. are you okay with the label of the president as the closer? he wholeheartedly embraced it absolutely. tomorrow we'll indeed see if president trump was closer on this one or not. did you get all of that back and forth? melissa: i was taking notes. there was a lot there.

it will be interesting to see if the mainstream media covers revelation about surveillance on the phone calls as much as the tweet. we'll keep an eye on that, blake, thank you. here now is house freedom caucus member mo brooks. republican congressman from alabama. he was at white house earlier today. i heard you're still a no even though you met with the closer and you're still a no? >> i didn't meet with president trump. that was a different group. i met with vice president mike pence, steve bannon, kellyanne conway, reince priebus, rick dearborn, mick mulvaney and tom price and other members of the white house leadership team. there were about 25 or 30 of us congressman, what is left of conservatives on capitol hill who met with the white house regarding the republican welfare bill. melissa: they still weren't able -- i like what you did there. i didn't miss that. you didn't like what they had to say? is that right? >> well we were offered no

constructive changes that would make this legislation less burdensome to the american people. by way of example, the republican welfare bill right now is going to increase premiums about 10 to 20% over the next couple years. everybody agrees to that. i have heard no dissent to that kind of analysis. that is not what american people are so-called repeople of obamacare. melissa: what would you do to this particular bill now to change that? to address that particular question, we have heard the explanation and you know and our audience knows we have to get to the point we can buy it across state lines. you have to get to reconciliation. you have to get beyond this point where you can reduce those costs. >> there is a very simple approach that has proven to be successful in the past. we look at legislation we passed a couple years ago in the house and senate that president obama vetoed essentially gutted obamacare. pass that same legislation, we had the votes then. we ought to have them now. have an effective date for when that repeal of obamacare takes place.

in the interim we can then start discussing the kind of structural changes we need to the 2009 headlight care system that we had which was the best in the world, and implement those improvements during that process. melissa: sir, here we are on the eve of this vote and it's let's make a deal time. we heard the white house is looking for changes andments and this and that. >> that is the deal. melissa: that's it? >> that is the deal. melissa: forget this, go with the old plan, only way you go for isn't. >> there are some other things that could be done but the gist of it is, we need a bill that repeals obamacare. that is what we represented to the american people we were going to do. that is what the american people are expecting of us. they were not promised during the campaigns that we're going to amend obamacare, not repeal it. instead we were going to replace it with the largest republican welfare program in the history of the republican party. a welfare program that undermines the work ethic, that ultimately will result in higher tax, higher premiums or else more debt in order to pay for the welfare payments that come

out of this welfare program. that is not what the american people were betting on when they bet republican in the 2016 elections or 2014 elections or the 2010 elections. melissa: if this doesn't pass and comes back around in a week are or so, will you ask for the same thing? are there any -- you said two or three things that would be put on to this that would make it more palatable? what would those be? >> you could introduce interstate competition for health insurance companies that would put pressure on insurance companies with competition to lower prices and improve the quality of the product they offer. melissa: that would have to be in this phase, not the third phase, you want that right now. >> the third phrase senator ted cruz referred to sucker bucket. that is promise very unlikelyto occur. what we need to do is do now. we don't need a wish-list may happen sometime in the future, to justify voting for bad piece of legislation that will increase premiums for american consume years you doesn't buy it

is not possible part of this process right now, they can't add it on because of logistical reasons. you can't buy i that. >> it is possible but ex-trooply remote. i will not rely on remote possibility to justify a vote for a bad piece of legislation. melissa: congressman brooks, thanks for coming on. >> my pleasure. david: paul ryan would say we need 60 votes in the senate to get that passage of transferring insurance across state lines that would require 60 votes in the senate, a number of democrats unkely thewould get detoe for any part of this. we mentioned the clock is ticking on the health care bill. you heard why congressman mo brooks is planning to vote against it. the fight is far from over. arkansas congressman bruce westter man, why everybody republican needs to get on board. that is coming up. melissa: was the trump team tapped? new details from the intelligence community. the president getting briefed on more what could prove his claims

of surveillance. david: terror in london. what we know about the attack that left at least three innocent dead and 20 injured. the former direct tore of the counterterrorism of the fbi on how much isis had to do with directing this terror act. >> it was a body next to it on the ground, not moving. quite a lot of blood on the pavement. as i kind of got into the square. realized there was a lot more people running around and securitys and maybe this is more than just a car accident. dear predictable, there's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free.

call for a free quote today. liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance david: an attack in london as a suspect drove a car into a number of people and stabbed a police officer outside of the uk's parliament before being shot by law enforcement officials. adam shapiro is standing by in

the newsroom who followed every tick of this. adam? reporter: david, at this point we know 20 people have been injured. i want to show you a photograph that has been released. it is a photograph from the scene. the man at the stretcher is believed to be the attacker. the man driving the suv who got out of the vehicle attacked the police officer who was stabbed and killed. there are four people dead. the man on the stretcher identified as the attacker. the police officer who was stabbed and two people who were on westminster bridge. i want to show you a graphic, a kind of map of the route of this tragedy. apparently the man driving what is described as a four-wheel drive vehicle came over the bridge, went on to the sidewalk on the bridge. that is when he hit the people who were injured. one woman was pulled from the river thames with serious injuries. continued to be go towards the parliament square area. ran into a wall at parliament square. got out of the vehicle and attacked officer and shot by

other officers who were protecting parliament. one last thing you should know, people taken to the hospital according to scotland yard, some of them were described as having catastrophic injuries. scotland yard saying most likely he was acting alone but they haven't ruled out others were involved. right now looks like the one attacker. david: quickly, adam, everyone is waiting for i.d. of the attacker. any leaks from the brits? reporter: the name has been leaked but it has not been verified. we're not reporting until it is verified. david: understood. adam shapiro, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: here to weigh in on all th, terry turchie, former fbi assistant director for counterterrorism. thanks for joining us. what jumps out at you about today's events? >> a couple of things, melissa. this certainly meets the definition of the imminent threat always lurking around the corner, always something we have to be prepared for. i think what really leaped out,

this was directed at continuity of western government, like many other terrorist attacks 16 years to 9/11. attack on parliament. tradecraft, driving there, using a car, using a knife when he got out, attacking a policeman. certainly if he got in or near the parliament there would be more significant problems with the politicians who were there. look back a couple years ago at canada, parliament hill, the attack on the duly con taughted authority in can dad -- constituted. we had an individual named christopher lee cornell, who was in washington, d.c., plotted put bombs in the nation's capitol and sit back and shoot people as they came out. these people are out there. this is the kind of person we're looking at. melissa: this is one-year anniversary of the brussels attack on the airport there, 32 people were killed and 300 roughly injured.

that is probably not a coincidence, in this attack in particular it brings forth the idea there is so little police can do to protect against something like this, right? >> well the whole idea of what is going on in the world today with terrorism, there is very little the police can do. we usually when we talk about security, the police are out there and their mere presence is preventing these kinds of things from happening. but in the age of terror when terrorists are not deterred by presence, in fact, it is almost an invitation to attack a policeman who is not even suspecting it, are all security paradigms go out the window and that is one of the things that makes all of ts complicated, makes an idea of preventing with a deal canning with it after something happens and very, very significant and very difficult. we face it at every government installation and every government laboratory anywhere where we have gates and guards. the idea that attackers now are attracted by that.

they're willing to give their own life to get you there the gates and guards. that changes the whole security ideology. melissa: he didn't even get through the gate because he crashed into it. he still managed to kill three other people. he was willing to die himself. i guess it goes back to the thing of when terrorists feel like they're winning they embolden others to join them and join the fight. that is probably maybe the only insight we have into stopping things like this, other people rin inspired by isis at this point because they haven't been stood up to sufficiently, what do you think? >> you're right. people like the attacker may or may not have been inspired by isis. he probably was or islamic fundamental i'll. melissa: of course, yeah. >> but the idea when we talk about going after sanctuaries where the terrorists actually live in a place like iraq or many other countries they have now found themselves nested in, we have to remember we're not wanting to advocate putting troops and all kind of people

there. what we are advocating we have to figure out a better way to go to the sanctuaries and take out very people that inspire individual attackers. melissa: terry turchie, thanks for your insight. >> you're very welcome. david: we're on high alert. more on how u.s. officials are responding to today's attack in london and what it means for the fight against terror. plus if republicans can't come together on a plan to fix obamacare or replace it, where does that leave our tax cut? next art laffer, the man whose name is synonymous with tax cuts, former economic advisor to president reagan is here to sound off. >> for goodness sakes, this is not rocket science, we should be able to repeal obamacare this spring and do tax reform in the fall.

melissa: verifying the president's claim, house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes saying communication from members of president

trump's team was collected during surveillance efforts. >> what i've read bothers me and i think it should bother the president himself and his team because i think some of it seems to be inappropriate. melissa: here now is lt. general thomas mcinerney, fox news military analyst. dozens of reports which eventually unmasked several individual identities within the campaign and it was widely disseminated. none of the reports that devin nunes read mentioned russia or russians. and he was unsure where the surveillance took place, whether it was trump tower or where it was. is this surprising, outrage just, run-of-the-mill, how would you characterize isn't. >> certainly not surprising to me, melissa. i was wondering when people would finally bring it up. once director comey mentioned

it, there had been a investigation since last july i automatically knew they were then using electronic means, if you will, to get further information. he tipped us all off when he said since july. so they get these quote, incidental individuals that they pick up things, and the fact is, is it is now being, starting to be widely disseminated that in fact that the trump campaign was monitored electronically, probably and a whole host of areas. melissa: so the excuse for this before was, well, you know, somebody within the trump campaign was calling the russian ambassador and talking to somebody who they were surveilling the sh snts, not whoever it was they were tal to when it might have been connected to trump and that is why it was picked up. that was the excuse before. but with this now, that excuse don't hold if chairman nunes was

saying no one in the conversation had anything to do with russia. it wasn't mentioned. had nothing to do with that. so it isn't about the investigation. >> the investigation is used as a cover, there are a lot of from time to times that will start coming out that will -- fingerprints coming out that will show that the obama administration was heavily listening to what was going on in the trump campaign. now, i don't know what the director comey is going to say about that, but the fact is, i think the evidence is going to be clear that that's what happened when they go into closed session. melissa: okay. >> i don't have the details but i can assure you the american public is not going to like it. melissa: okay. so we're hearing that the dnc advisor is issuing a following statement right now. former trump transsignificance member, devin nunes blew what little credibility he had left with this pathetic charade. this isn't an investigation. it's a protection racket for donald trump.

it and his fragile ego. all nunes has achieved to prove we need a real independent investigation and raised serious questions about why the trump team was in communication with foreign individuals under fisa warrant. time for an independent nine heaven style commission and a special prosecutor now. what's your reaction? >> well, i expect that from the democrats. this whole thing has been a charade. it is tactical deception. they do not want the trump administration to start looking in at the violation of the espionage act by hillary clinton with her rogue server and by the president who used a pseudonym on her rogue server and they both are in violation of the espionage act. they do not want this to come out. so they have brought up all the other facts about russia and why they lost the election. that is where the trouble is, let alone the clinton foundation. that is a huge pay for business deal.

melissa: what about the fact you're supposed to go to jail if you unmask any of these people incidentally collected on these calls? >> absolutely. that is another criminal offense. so i think the special prosecutor ought to start looking at hillary clinton's rogue server that was never given an ato, which is authority to operate. and she had over 2,000 classified emails, 200 emails and that is in violation of the espionage act. melissa: general mcinerney, thank you for your insight. we appreciate your time, sir. >> thank you, melissa. david: bring up 9/11, context of a new investigation. could republicans turn a health care loss into a tax relief victory? while everybody is focusing on the precarious future of the ryan health care bill, could republicans make a quick switch and focus their attention on the more attractive notion of tax relief? here now to weigh in is art laffer who never met a tax cut he didn't like as far as i know. reagan economic policy advisor

and laugher associates founder. you said not all tax cuts are alike. if paul ryan said if we pass the health care bill, there is a trillion dollars tax cut if we get out of obamacare which you say what? >> i think it is. i think this is a huge tax cut by repealing obamacare. that 3.8%, david, that comes off right off the top all the way to the end of income, you know what that would do to the stock market, just by itself, no laffer curve or anything else. if you make 50 cents after tax from an investment, including the 3.8%. by getting rid of that 3.8% that will increase your after tax return by.6%. david: that is pretty good. >> put 7.6% on top of a 2200 dow, you have a huge, huge number. you have 1,000, 1500 on the dow. david: as you well know, a lot of republicans won't talk about this, the bill might fail tomorrow. if it does fail, some republicans say it is time to cut bait. focus on tax cuts.

in fact there was one republican senator who was quoted in "politico" today, quote, maybe the best outcome is for this to fail in the house, so we can move on tax reform, on to tax reform which is what we should have done anyway. and you say? >> you and i are very much on the same page, david. we don't determine the agenda and priorities that go through congress. this bill should pass on health care and the tax bill should pass. it's not an either/or or which one you prefer. if you and i were doing it we would have done the tax bill first around then the health care bill second but that is not our choice. both of them need to pass. david: it is not but there may be a choice that has to be made by the end of this week. if the bill fails in the house on thursday, should they just cut bait and move on to directly to tax, let's table the issue of obamacare change, repeal and replace, around let's focus on tax cuts? we know that that will stimulate the economy and furthermore, we

know and market knows that is what has been stimulating this tax rally in the marketplace? >> i agree. but don't think the obamacare repeal isn't a massive tax cut. it really is, david. both of those bills are huge tax cuts. you've got all of these taxes and mandates empolice it in the health care bill. either one failing would be a tragedy for this country. everything is a marathon. not a sprint. we have eight years in office. therethere will be second bills, third bills, forth bills. i think this bill should pass and the tax bill should pass. david: final question though, art. >> yes, sir. david: if we don't get tax cuts this year will the market lose the postelection trump rally? >> it will lose it for a little bit but won't lose it forever. we didn't get our tax cuts until 1983. we still did pretty well under reagan. i want to do it sooner rather than later of course i do, so do you. don't hold everything up by jumping off the cliff and

killing yourself t will be a great four years, eight years, believe me when i tell you. david: be happy. >> i am. david: art laffer, thank you very much. >> you're great friend, david. david: thank you,. melissa: how judge gorsuch is assuring skeptical lawmakers he will make decisions based on the law. former governor mike huckabee sound off next. david: president trump's last full day to get all republicans on board for his plan to he replace obamacare. he is working hard. ♪ .

melissa: judge neil gorsuch in the hot seat again today, and looks to convince the senate he is the best pick for the supreme court. peter barnes with the latest on the heated hearings. peter it. reporter: that's right, melissa. the third day of confirmation hearings for judge gorsuch wrapping up today, fairly smooth, like the last two days. the president's pick for high court avoided any major mistakes that could, might derail his confirmation. he continued to stress his independence from president trump who criticized some judges and who did so again at a republican fund-raising event last night. >> courts are not helping us, i have to be honest with you. it is ridiculous. somebody said i should not criticize judges. okay. i will criticize judges. [laughter] to keep criminals and terrorists

the hell out of our country. reporter: judge gorsuch saying that he criticizes, anybody who criticizes the honesty the integrity and decency of federal judges in his words, or what they do or attacks their motives or how they come about, arriving at their decisions, he says i know these people work very hard and they're very decent and i find it disheartening and demoralizing, assume that kind of criticism from the president but the president has also tweeted that gorsuch is the kind of judge the country needs on the high court with a brilliant legal mind and commitment to constitutional principles. so with republicans controlling the senate judiciary committee by 11 members to nine democrats, vote to approve to send gorsuch's nomination to the full senate is virtually assure. that is expected to happen the first week of april. melissa? melissa: we'll keep an eye on it. peter barnes, thank you.

david: the question really comes down how could democrats vote down such a very highly qualified judge? there does seem to be a democr talking point on that. first senator elizabeth warren, tweeting, quote, neil gorsuch is up for a lifetime appointment to the supreme court from a president whose campaign is under fbi investigation. senator chuck schumer echoing that narrative. take a listen. >> it is the height of irony that republicans held this supreme court seat open for nearly a calendar year, while president obama was in office, but are now rushing to fill the seat for a president whose campaign is under investigation by the fbi. david: again, under investigation by the fbi. here now is former governor mike huckabee. he is also fox news contributor. governor, anything according to democrats that the administration does or tries to do is illegitimate because of the fbi investigation. that seems to be the narrative of the democrats.

>> well, and it is an absurd allegation. that it is under investigation, not donald trump personally but his campaign. that is itself absurd. the fbi investigates things the whole time. what are we supposed to do, put the entire presidency on hold? tell the president he is not to order the military to do anything? tell the president not to sign bills? on its phase that is laughable and elizabeth warren and chuck schumer ought to be embarrassed trying to delegitimatize the president. david: dealing with a guy like gorsuch, trying to delegitimatize him as a result of this narrative. this is a guy who clearly has just been so stellar in his presentation over the past three days, particularly in those one-on-ones with democrats, by the way, rush limbaugh talked about that and how it's, extrordinary the democrats will turn down the guy so highly qualified. here is what rush had to say.

>> it is clear that the resistance and the opposition here is not based on anything substantive. all of this is rooted in the belief and the effort every day to establish that donald trump is not a legitimate president. that he was elected due to fraud, cheating, collusion, what have you. david: so if that's true, will they get away with it, governor? >> no, they're not going to because even democrats across america, and i'm not talking about the crazy ones, and not talking about the ones, no matter what they take the part line, rank-and-file, good and decent people across this country who are democrats, they are millions of them, they know better. they're not stupid people. i think they're being played for chumps by people like schumer and elizabeth warren. they will find that insulting. look, every time we have supreme court appointments by democratic presidents a lot of republicans voted against them but a lot of

republicans voted for them they did at least acknowledge they were qualified. republicans may not have liked them but they were qualified to sit on the court. atas the oy real decision that those senators had to make. that is the same ones that the democrats face. david: governor, while you're here, i want to get your take on breaking news from devin nunes. he is the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee seen here earlier. he came out and said there was unmasking of names that was improper in all of the intel reports they had and information that might have involved members of donald trump's team. information that was not available or at least the fbi is not making it available to the trump administration. what do you think of all this? >> well, first of all, it is shameful they're not making it available to the trump administration. secondly this really proves donald trump's point, there was surveillance. they're going to come back and say, obama didn't order a specific wiretap. we're talking about semantics

to help you keep rolling with confidence. go long™. ♪ david: the clock is ticking on the american health care act. president trump warning republicans they could lose the house majority if they fail to repeal and replace obamacare but some members of congress still have major problems with the bill. here's representative mo brooks just moments ago talking about this. >> they were not promised during the campaigns that we're going to amend obamacare, not repeal it. instead we would replace it with the largest republican welfare program in the history of the republican party. a welfare program that undermines the work ethic, ultimately will result in higher taxes, higher premiums or else more debt in order to pay for the welfare payments that come out of this welfare program. david: here is house budget committee member, bruce westerman, republican congressman from arkansas. congressman, those are harsh words.

that is not, what he describes this bill to be is not what americans voted for in november. >> well, david, good to be with you today. i disagree with that. i believe voters sent us here to repeal obamacare. we made those pledges, the president made those pledges. this is a bill that repeals obamacare. i heard discussion about how it is not the same bill we did last year but it has got 95% of the repeal items in it that the bill we sent to president obama's desk. david: americans did not vote for, americans did not vote for tax credits, according to the congressman amount to a new entitlement? >> that is an area i have issue with the bill and something i think can be changed in the senate. it is something i've been working on with the white house policy folks and with members of the senate. and i think there is common sense ways to do that. one way convert the credit into deduction which everybody who buys group insurance with a plan

get as tax deduction because they buy it tax-free. there are common sense solutions to add to the bill. david: can they be added before the vote tomorrow night? >> no. it is something that the senators can do. the senators have a lot more flexibility with the bill than we do in the house. david: congressman, i understand that. but the point is if it can't be done before the vote, mo brooks, the congressman that preceded you will not vote for it. if it in fact it fails tomorrow night, what happens then? what is your plan b? >> something so important we have to continue working on it. maybe they can get the tax credit issue before tomorrow night. to keep the ball moving and get it over to the senate on the president's desk by easter, we need to vote on it in the house. the senate has leeway changes they can make. they can push the envelope with reconciliation rules. if it has -- david: forgive me, congressman, if the changes can not be made before the vote tomorrow, and it is clear by your whipping

process where you try to whips votes up, you don't have the votes to pass, would you pull the bill to make changes that would satisfy the freedom caucus. >> that is a call by leadership whether they pull the bill or put it on -- david: congressman, forgive me the prime minister of england, theresa may speaking of the terrorist attack. let's listen. >> on behalf of the whole country i want to pay tribute to them and all our emergency services. for the work they have been doing to reassure the public and bring security back to the streets of our capitol city. that they have lost one of their own in today's attack, only makes their calmness and professionalism under pressure all the more remarkable. the location of this attack was no accident. the terrorists chose to strike at the heart of our capitol city

where people of all nationalities, religions and cultures come together to celebrate the values of liberty, democracy, and freedom of speech. these streets of westminster, home to the world's oldest parliament, are engrained with a spirit of freedom that echoes in some of the furtherrest corners of the globe. and the valuesur parliament represent, democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law, commands the admiration and respect of free people everywhere. that is why it is a target for those who reject those values. but let me make it clear today, as i have had calls to do before, any attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. tomorrow morning parliament will meet as normal.

we will come together as normal. and londoners and others from around the world who have come here to visit this great city will get up and go about their day as normal. they will board their trains, they will leave their hotels. they will walk these streets. they will live their lives. and we will all move forward together. never giving in to terror and never allowing the voices of hate and evil to drive us apart. david: that is the british prime minister, theresa may, responding to today's terrorist attack right outside of the parliament. really the home of democracy, western democracy. there you can see big ben. it was first on the bridge leading up to parliament where some possible terrorist, we assume, right now, he was, in

some way had terrorist motives, mowed down about a dozen people, million list sachs on his way to parliament where he crashed into the gates. went into the ground and stabbed to death a police officer before he himself was shot and killed but along the way, decides the police officer there were o other innocents who died in the attack. melissa: really a grisly scene on the bridge. that was theresa may reacting to all of it today. david: that was a brave speech. we are concerned here, all the security efforts surrounding international buildings in new york, washington, other major cities in the united states have been tightened as a result of this terrorist attack. we assume it's a terrorist attack. we are hearing reports of the identity of the attacker. there are some suspicions that

in fact he may have been motivated by terrorists. melissa: we don't know any of that yet. david: by terrorist operations. we'll find out details coming up. we have news more closer to home. melissa: we have breaking news coming up. congressman adam schiff, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee will respond to new reports today that president trump's personal communications were intercepted during the presidential transition. he he is going to be holding a press conference at any moment now. that has been a huge topic of conversation today. of course we had chairman nunes out earlier today, saying in fact he was disturbinged by reports and data he has seen about, conversations intercepted of numerous people, part of the trump campaign. that didn't involve russia, that didn't involve investigation into russia. said we were, unmasking of people that were on those phone calls. he was disturbed by the reports that he saw.

it does at least partially vindicate. president trump what he said about his campaign being surveiled. . . . >> the president needs to than these intelligence reports are out there, and i have a ty to tell him that. theseere intelligence reports. >> what i've read bothers me, and i think it should bother the president himself and his team because i think some of it seems to be inappropriate. >> it definitely goes beyond what happened to general flynn. what i've read seems to me to be some level of surveillance activity, perhaps legal, but i do
