4:11 pm
the distortions it creates o some it might eliminate if they are able to headach make more sense what does that mean for business and the economy. >> i think it boils down to making sure everyone that ha has access -- affordable access to coverage that equals the ability to get great care, right now i don't think that the bill resembles anything like that. i appreciate the panel's optimism on friday, but i perhaps, a little bit of the glass half empty. >> goodness, all right. david: and you can catch steve forbes and me this weekend, forkforbes on fox. saturday, and sunday. >> a good panel, smart folks. >> strong reaction pouring in for and against the healthcare bill. this is the headline.

david: democrats railing again house health care bill, chanting republicans will lose seats in 2018. but obamacare is part of the reason that democrats have continued to lose their own seats since 2009, following enactment. democrat lost 1042 state and federal posts. here is charlie hurt. the democrats continue to push this narrative that hillary clinton lost because of wikileaks or comey or this and that. 63 seats in the house. since the enactsment of obamacare they don't get it. >> it is not trump, not comey. david: it's their own policies, no? >> the numbers here are most important.
4:17 pm
true, president obama won reelection. and you know democrats just figured wire doin we're doing great, he was a popular guy. but his policies were odious. people hated his policies. particularly obamacare. david: the working class people that democrats used to be able to count on. the works class, heavily unionized people, who said you are not addressing my needs. >> that showing democrats on floor taunting the republicans that so childish. i realize this is a victory for president trump, he did do what he promised. i think that say victory for paul ryan, he got something through. but i think a sad day for -- you know republicans are supposed to stand up for you know conservative beliefs that
4:18 pm
do not embrace -- >> i agree. we'll talk about, that but before we leave this whole thing. i want to read there is one democrat who gets it from our perspective, tim ryan. ohio congressman. in the rust belt, he said we're talking a lot about donald trump. we had a lot of commercials about donald trump. and we did not have enough commercials about working class people and how we were going to help them. we have to remember that wages only increase .6% from 2009 to 2016, that means people are losing money, this guy gets it, but few else do. >> you saw how well he did in his challenge against speaker pelosi. that is not go far. this is important point, i think that democrats are making a huge mistake right now.
4:19 pm
they created this mess of obamacare, now they refuse to lift a finger to to anything to try to fix it. i think if this fails, if house bill goes to senate and it does not work out, and everyone will write obit of donald trump and republicans. i don't see it that way, i think that if democrats go back to polls in 2018, still under obamacare. and then on top of that republicans can accuse them was not having done a single thing to fix the mess they made, i think that could politically devastating for them. david: what happens if it succeeds, what is the senate likely to do? i suggested in tease they may tear it up start fresh? would they do that or tweak it? >> i think they would tear it up, look at the effort -- even if they do just tweaks, that is tearing it up, look how much effort that went into getting this -- 3 times, what
4:20 pm
is it that senate is going to come up with to make it go easier through the house? they had one vote to spare. i don't think that there -- i think if they do anything to it it starts to fal fall apart quickly in the house. and again, i think that is terrible for democrats. david: charlie, washington times. >> thank you. melissa: are state prosecutors going easier on illegal criminals? tom is here next to tell us what is goingn. and the war against cops coinues, troubling information coming out about police officers. hear when a new fbi study is saying, that is next. if you're taking prescription medications,

4:25 pm
crime is too severe. as a result, aliens are getting special treatment in brooklyn, they are getting advice from immigration lawyers, paid for with taxpayer dollars to make sure that aliens don't get charged in a more significant way. >> one thing, if you can do, if they can't help you, take it out the earpiece. >> are they openly talking about it not afraid of the way they are behaving. >> brooklyn is excited about doing it they posted it on internet, and praised by pro-illegal alien advocates this places the public safety at risk am. this is also happening in baltimore, they encourage attorneys to under charge aliens.
4:26 pm
if the crime is significant enough, you could get deported. we know if you under charge people, they get out sooner they can stay potentially longer period of time and go on and commit or crimes against innocent americans as a result. melissa: you are a serious pro doing the interview this way, you get an award for this. i don't top run out of time, reilly have you, -- while i have you, a federal judge, releasing on e-mails on the 2012 benghazi attack, why does it take a federal judge to get involved? now that state department is under trump administration could they not release that. >> administration should know that the at least trudg trump administration should know bet, they redill what president obama told other foreign leaders about the
4:27 pm
benghazi attack. and the judge said, well you are asking if they are withheld under the deliberative process privilege, and i thin is a saying they were predictional, talking about decisions or information about government agency activities it of the factual, the judge said you can release them. the trump administration just came back, say the department and justice department said, no, it should have been classified. we're like hold on, this is a agency, state department, and fbi documents that showed they were under classifying materials to purpose to protect hillary clinton and the agent, despite what they says now, we don't believe activity any accident. we want -- a the court to reyecjecto reject it and get duel document out or, to release it.
4:28 pm
>> what do you think. that the documents say? >> they say i think they will say, what president obama told foreign leaders about the benghazi attack almost moodil immediately after, they could be key documents about who knew what and when on the part of the president about that terrorist attack that his administration lied out the w wazoo about to american people. melissa: tom, you are a broadcasting champion. >> thank you. david: a startling new rept, a disturbing trend in the war on cops. unclassified internal fbi report, showing police officers, nationwide are prey to -- because of antipolice sentiment.
