getting it out and getting it scored. ainsley: at least they have something to work with. rand paul will have something to read. brian: by the way would he be a good booking today? brian: i believe he is on the show. ainsley: we will ask him when he read through it if he liked what he saw and what he wants to change. steve: sure the nic mulvaney the guy who ran. brian: original member of the freedom calculation. ainsley: and from south carolina. brian: steve anything on nic mulvaney? steve: nice irish name. brian: republicans unveil highly anticipated healthcare law. ainsley: kristin fisher is live with the details. is this a sign of trouble? >> still too soon to say. let's take a minute and marvel really at this moment. because after years, excuse me, after years of republicans promising to repeal and replace obamacare, they have finally put forward their alternative to the affordable

care act. and you know after months of work, excuse me, weeks after working in secret on this, they finally put it out in public. and they did it late last night or yesterday evenings. and let's take a look really at what exactly is in this bill. what it would do is the individual and the employer mandates would be repealed immediately. a lot of republicans like that. the subsidies would be repealed and replaced by monthly tax credits. that's ostensibly is how they would pay for it preexisting conditions. young foil people can stay on their parents plan up to age 26. calls for transition away from the current medicaid expansion. congressman kevin brady the chairman of the house ways and means committee says this is the bill that republicans have been waiting for. >> it is obamacare gone. we repeal all those taxes, those mandates, those subsidies. there is nothing left there. and, instead. we give them the same tax break that we give workers at

big businesses. >> but not everybody is sold on this. including some republicans and especially those members of the conservative house freedom calculation. they are already expressing concerns about medication expansion and entitle you meants. the white house is going to have to move very quick to get those republicans on board with their plan. the plan is to start marking up this bill as early as wednesday. the big question now is how involved is president trump going to be in terms of getting members of his own party on board? back to you. steve: good question? how many people is he going to be dismawlg kristin thank you very much. it's interesting, one of the provisions of this new plan is house republicans were told by the the house. the president remember when he said everybody is going to get some coverage? they include in this plan apparently a tax credit up to $14,000 for families to make sure that they wind up with healthcare. that is keeping one of the president's promises, the white house feels. ainsley: they are also

eliminating funding for planned parenthood. they said we will give you funding, federal funding if you don't do abortions and they said no. brian: right. a lot of people, freedom caucus and a lot of conservatives say hey, wait a second, we can't give tax credits when they are not deserving. it's another form of entitlements which we are trying to get away from. it also says goodbye to the exchanges. and in 2020 we will start looking at decreasing medicaid grants and maybe they will convert into block grants to the states. brit hume weighed in and said listen i know what you want but then there is reality. this is what happens with entitlements, once people become depend dent on them it becomes extremely difficult to take them away. what they are doing is providing a different kind of a subsidy in terms of a tax credit. make no mistake about it that's what it is. there is a problem. a lot of the conservatives who want obamacare repealed didn't like the subsidies and they

won't like this kind of subsidy. it will be a challenge to gather the votes necessary to pass the bill because the democrats seem very unlikely to help. brian: not a single democrat will vote for this in the house. republicans have got to get the freedom caucus convinced to move forward or take their input. maybe take some input. cut a deal and do something where they can say i don't love it. you don't love it, but that's way things used to be done. we compromised and people bit down on the whiskey filled rag and dealt with. [laughter] brian: do you remember the rifle man every guy had a wound. he would get some whiskey. steve: dig the bullet out of your arm. brian: rifleman. the only show i was allowed to watch before i did my homework. steve: not violent. ainsley: brings back memories as a kid. little house on the prairie.

brian: when she went blind. ainsley: we digress. steve: you think? ainsley: nic mulvaney on the show and rand paul. ask them questions about what they like about it and what this means for you and your family. brian: just wonder how they are going to score this and if if he are going to do it honestly and fairly. we know obamacare was scored and it was like hey, perfect. turns out imperfect. steve: they came back later. you got the new plan for healthcare. also president trump signed a new travel ban 2.0 they are referring to it as. we are talk more about that later. the white house doubled down on claims that they were wiretapped. and keep in mind, you know, something happened. we know something happened. i mean, the "new york times" did d. a quote how they were looking at wiretapped communications. and the night after the trump address there were reports that sessions met with russian ambassador according to the fbi transcripts. so these things exist. the big question is who

ordered them and the nature of them. that's what we will get to eventually. catherine herridge was on with tucker last night and had an interesting observation. she has looked at the intel community for a long time. they have never seen anything like what may have happened. listen. >> i think it's important for people at home to know that some of the intelligence we're talking about, such as these transcripts between the former national security advisor, mike flynn and the russian ambassador i have spoken to people go 30 years in the u.s. intelligence community and they will never see an nsa transcript that's because it is so closely held. levels of the intelligence community that was leaked for i would say partisan purposes and the fact that that was leaked to reporters means that's sort of a threshold we haven't crossed before. brian: as mark levin chronicled if you look at the mcclatchey newspapers, "new york post," guardian newspaper out of england look at this

and say they all wrote it different times in various ways there have been wiretaps people looking into the trump organization. if you can't say i accept today's "new york times" and you cannot accept less falls "new york times." ainsley: kellyanne conway says the president has access that we don't have access to, obviously, that he knows something that the rest of the public doesn't know. mark levin was calling for let's just see these fisa warrants. we need to release this and get the warrants out there. steve: we found out fisa warrants from heat street. this is really interesting. remember when james comey at the fbi, they reopened the hillary thing. as it turns out, harry reid wrote an angry letter to james comey and it said, it sure sounded like he knew, he, harry reid, knew there was a wiretap after they reopened the email case and accused the fbi of withholding

information. he said in his letter it has become clear that you, mr. comey, possess explosive information about the close ties and coordination between donald trump and his top advisors and the russian government. i wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be release to the public and, yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information. is this referring to the wiretap stuff like that. that letter was written the day before hillary clinton put out a crazy tweet. ainsley: crazy tweet computer scientists covert server linking the trump administration to rawtion linked bank. brian: my in a lab coat and beaker. number two, we thought that harry reid was just saying things like he did with mitt romney. didn't pay taxes. other thing to think about, too. remember how donald trump was briefed of before he was president-elect and getting all this detail about the dossier at which time he might

have been thinking about himself. some of this information they're giving is only -- is only possibly obtained if someone was hacking in to members of my organization's phone lines. so he is sitting there watching all these things come out. and probably sitting there maybe on a saturday morning i'm going to put 2 and 2 together because nobody else is. i'm going to put it out there that someone was hacking in and it had to come from the presidential order or from his administration. but i ran out of characters. ainsley: no one was paying attention to it yeah, this is just him making accusations now is he right? >> brian: the russians came out yesterday and made some statements look, this is not helping anybody's relations. for those that think they are feasting on this. they are now totally on their heels on this because they wanted influence in this administration they lost it. if they wanted their prestige to rise now that president obama is gone, it is gone. steve: the influence obviously is being exerted by whoever has leaning leaked this stuff out. the president says is he going

to get to it we will stand by. we will talk to robby mike formehookformer campaign manager hillary clinton. ainsley: hand it over to heather who has headlines for you us. heather: we have stories we are following. we begin with this one. a fox news alert. iran flexing its muscles at sea. test firing ballistic missiles and destroying a floating barge more than 150 miles away. iranian forces also buzzing u.s. sailors. sending fast attack vessels within 600 yards of a navy ship. and then on top of that north korea also provoking the u.s. the country now saying that their recent missile launches were tests to see if they could strike american bases in japan. giving washington, of course, a lot of reason to worry. >> they have an icm could reach the united states. we have seen them parade them around and in the factory. what they haven't done is test it.

heather: u.n. council holding emergency meeting tomorrow to talk about the launch us. the war on terror, the trump administration just killed a former guantanamo bay detainee released by barack obama u he was once considered the worst of the worst killed in a u.s. air strike in yemen. he had been released back in 2009 even though the department of defense recommended that he stay behind bars. 122 prisoners released from gitmo have returned to the battlefield. to extreme weather now. tornado outbreak reeking havoc on the midwest. one twister tearing through missouri overnight leaving a path of destruction. look at this, in the city of trimble. several houses knocked off of their foundation. same storm system sparking a tornadoes in zimmerman. just north of minneapolis. it is the earliest tornado on record in. steve: almost spring weather. heather, thank you. heather: you're welcome. steve: obama administration acting high and mighty when it comes to abuse of power and wiretapping.

spurring hasty denials from the president and intel officials. if true, what sort of legal trouble could they face? steve: we have called in fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano who has a headline. the headline is, the president of the united states, if he wanted, to barack obama could order a wiretap. >> absolutely. if donald trump wanted to he could surveil anybody. that's directly in the fisa statute which after laying out a lot of detailed procedures about what the nsa is supposed to do says literally not with standing all of the above, the president of the united states may on his own conduct surveillance or order surveillance of any person in the united states upon the filing of a certification with the attorney general. of course works for the president. so the idea that it was illegal for barack obama to listen to the phone calls and in person conversations of donald trump is wrong. it in my view is immoral and profoundly unconstitutional and utterly wrong but it's lawful because congress has

said it is lawful. this was power given to every president from jimmy carter up to and including donald trump. steve: i don't think the power was intended to spy on your political enemy. >> of course not. of course not. the language is so broad that it would authorize it. so the last thing in the world the intelligence community wants is an investigation by the congress, which will expose how truly pervasive spying is. how the intelligence community captures everything we say on our mobile devices. every time we touch a key on our mobile devices, on our desk tops. every conversation on land line. every piece of data that goes across any fiber in the united states into our out of the united states is captured digitally by the nsa. the nsa is in the military. the president tells the military i need the conversation trump had with kilmeade in the in trump tower. he will have it in a few months.

brian: when james clapper came out and said i'm national intelligence director if somebody wiretapped the trump tower i would know about it and it didn't happen. >> he actually didn't say it that way. he chose his words very carefully. steve: semantic. >> he said if somebody got a fisa warrant about this i would know about testimony the president doesn't need a fisa warrant. the statute authorizes the president to bypass fisa. and quite frankly, brian, we are all skeptical of anything james clapper says because he lied under oath. when spying on tens or hundreds of millions of americans and he answered no, senator biden newt earn was yes. general clapper knew the answer was yes and they gave him an answer to do it and he didn't do it. ainsley: comey. next week the republicans like him. >> he is caught in the middle of this because in his perception of what president trump tweeted, the fbi has been tarnished. the fbi doesn't use fisa. the fbi has a very, very small intelligence unit. the vast majority of what the

fbi does is investigate crimes. they need a warrant because if you gather evidence without a warrant. the courts are not going to hear it if you gather evidence with a warrant. then it's competence evidence in a trial. brian: you doubt comey came across this source in the "new york times" plurebsd on sunday night we all saul saw it on monday that said there was no surveillance of trump tower? >> by the fbi. the fbi wouldn't be in the business of surveying trump tower unless they thought crimes were going on in there. ainsley: if there was an investigation and it does come out that president obama was wiretapping president trump then nothing is going to happen, right? because it wasn't illegal. >> nothing legal is going to happen. i think the political earthquake would destroy whatever legacy barack obama has. as steve said at the outset of this conversation he did it for the most base and venal reasons toll tarnish a political opponent. this power so extraordinary only supposed to be used to secure the united states of

america as a sovereign entity. not supposed to be used to torment your political opponents. steve: you know so there is going to be an investigation. the president wants an investigation. all they really need is a whistle blower, right? >> yes, they do. steve: you are a whistle blower, you are watching right now. you know what happened if something happened. do they go to the ig of the doj? >> that's exactly what they do. they go to the ig, intelligence general of the intelligence community. consists of 16 known intelligence entities in the federal government and probably a few unknown as an inspector general, has a procedure for whistleblowers. steve: that way they get protection. >> i almost assure you if this is a thorough and complete investigation you will see whistleblowers perhaps behind a screen testifying on our screen before these committees. brian: what's is so interesting is in listening to you disseminate this like no one has ever broken this down like this before. if donald trump is listening to his daily briefing and reading it and hearing things that only someone would know

if they knew him or tapped phone conversations that would conclude him to believe that someone had to be tapping phones in the trump organization which makes you wonder who had that power goes back to the president. >> you are exactly right. he gets an intelligence briefing every morning. he knows more about this than any of us do. one of them could very well have said, by the way, your predecessor was listening to those conversations you had with kilmeade and doocy and ainsley and napolitano and everybody else. brian: so he tweets it out at 6:00. ainsley: do you think he was wiretapped. >> yes. yes, i do. steve: reporters aren't in trouble per se it's whoever leaked him this stuff? >> correct. all this stuff once it's leaked is lawful to print. the leaker is the person in trouble. ainsley: why do you think it happened? >> for the reason steve has articulated. i think they concluded by the end or the middle of october that mrs. clinton was going down and they wanted to see if there was a way to prevent to stop her fall and to prevent

his rise and they didn't find it. brian: wow. thanks so much, judge. appreciate it. >> you are welcome. ainsley: gosh, he knows the law up and down, back and forth. it's amazing. steve: that's why sea judge. ainsley: you can just rattle them off. he rattles the law. brian: it's like he went to law school. [laughter] ainsley: listen, i know a lot of you that went to law school but don't know the law like you do. steve: straight ahead, are democrats playing dumb on presidendonald trump's wiretappg needs. we are asking campaign manager for mrs. clinton robby mook about 30 minutes from right now right here on this program. brian: quick-thinking boy saving his dad from being crushed from 3,000-pound car. how he jumped into action. the incredible story straight ahead. this is journey. ♪ don't stop believing ♪ hold on to that feeling ♪ streetlights ♪ people

ainsley: steven, tell us what happened on that day. >> we were working in the backyard trying to pull some axles off the car. i pulled the other axle off just fine. the other axle wasn't coming off. i repositioned it and the jack suddenly fell on me. my older son went in the house to address a cut on his hand. he wasn't there j.t. was there i couldn't breathe but i had time to say one last word. my one last words to j.t. were jack up the car real quick. ainsley: j.t., how did you know how to do that? >> i just by working with my dad so i see him do it all the time. ainsley: so you just started jumping up and down on the jack and car slowly went up. >> yeah. ainsley: that saved your dad's life, right? >> yes. ainsley: what gave you the strength to do that? >> angels. ainsley: angels did. jody, where were you at the time? >> i had actually left home to go pick up some cousins to

come and play with my daughters. ainsley: and then you came home? >> and then i came home to my older son on the phone with 911. ainsley: wow. so, steven, what happened? what type of injuries did you suffer? >> i suffered 13 broken ribs is all i really suffered from the whole ordeal which is really amazing considering the car was crushed on me smashing me. ainsley: do you feel there was a miracle that happened here. >> without a doubt. i know it was a miracle. ainsley: why? >> i should have been killed. my brother-in-law has seen accidents like this before in both situations they were fatal. ainsley: you were underneath the car you would have been crushed underneath the car and your young son was able to lift up a car basically by jumping up and down on the jack. i understand, jody, you tried, your son went out to the garage later and tried a week later and he wasn't able to do it? >> he did. we decided to go out there and see for ourselves like how much he knew about jacking up

a car and how strong he really could be. and he tried as much he's could, in fact for several minutes, and he was not age to do it. ainsley: thank you so much. miracles still happen. god bless you all. we're glad you are still alive, steven. we'll be right back. okay, you need uniforms, work gloves, goggles, hard hats, all the safety gear. i'm on it. well that's good, 'cuz i got 15 more new guys starting tuesday. i'm ready. you're ready? ♪ oh, i'm ready... am i ready? what? am i ready? you're ready. i'm ready! cintas. ready for the workday.

>> it is obamacare gone. there's nothing left there. >> what we want to do is restore power to the states and get back to where have you a doctor-patient relationship. >> today's executive order will make america more secure and address long overdue concerns. >> if the country decides and a president decides it's time to take a pause, everybody has to step back and let that happen. president obama did it. president bush did it after 9/11. >> we know that there was a warrant okayed through a fisa court to survey someone within trump's orbit. >> iran and north korea continue to test ballistic missiles that could threaten american warships. >> casey anthony breaking her silence for the first time hence her daughter's murder.

>> i don't give a [bleep] what anybody thinks of me. i sleep pretty good at night. >> the great company exxon mobil is going to be investing $20 billion. i said we are bringing back jobs. this is one big example of it. brian: celebrating i hop who is giving out free short stacks today. ainsley: they are hoping you give a donation to charity. ♪ raise your hands ♪ when you want to let it go ♪ raise your hand ♪ when you want to let a feeling show ♪ raise your hand. brian: what is this song meant more you are from new jersey. steve: i'm actually from kansas. brian: you live in a nearby state near bon jovi. can you interpret when he says raise your hand? steve: because it's tuesday. ainsley: that's if you put deodorant on raise your hands. that's what the commercial. raise your hands if you are sure. steve: the president of the united states.

ainsley: what's he say? steve: he was adamant on the campaign trail he was going to get rid of obamacare. today there is a plan, perhaps to start voting on a new replacement bill today. brian: right. and he also had a travel ban that's out there, too. and we got to see other people in the administration for the first time. meanwhile, the trump administration gearing up for a fierce fight as republicans unveil their highly anticipated healthcare overhaul. steve: what's in it? kristin fisher is live in washington, d.c. with the details that we know so far. kristin? >> hey, well this is the moment that republicans have been promising for years. and, yet, some conservatives on capitol hill are already criticizing it by calling it essentially obamacare light. congressman jim jordan who is a member of the house freedom caucus told cnn quote i don't see any significant changes here. significantly the same thing to me it sort of doesn't change my position. but we will talk to our guys tomorrow night. so what's in this bill? what would it do? this bill would repeal the individual and employer mandates almost immediately.

almost all agree on that. subsidies repealed and replaced by monthly tax credits. the preexisting conditions would be preserved. young people they will still be allowed to stay on their parent's plan until the age of 26. here is another big sticking point. this bill we restructure the medicaid program to move it away from the expassengers enacted by the affordable care act. some experts say that could result in millions of americans losing access to their health insurance but the republican leaders who put forward this bill, like congressman kevin brady, he says that this is the bill that republicans have been waiting for. >> it is obamacare gone. we repeal all those taxes, those mandates. those subsidies. there is nothing left there. and, instead, we give them the same tax break that we give workers at big businesses. >> now for president trump, this is the first major piece of legislation that he is trying to get through congress. it will be fulfilling a major campaign promise and already

this morning his press secretary sean spicer is up and active on twitter trying to sell this bill to perhaps some weary conservatives. brian, ainsley, and steve? steve: thank you very much. somebody else trying to sell the bill is mick mulvaney budget director and south carolina congressman joins us live from our nation's capitol. good morning, sir. >> good morning is it really free pancake day? brian: budget wise i don't know if it makes any sense but this goes to charity. ainsley: if you need to find i hop in south carolina right there on two notch road remember that one? that's the one we always went to. good one. >> she is right. steve: mick, let's talk about the president's plan to replace obamacare with a new idea. so far some republicans have said we have just heard the quote from jim jordan not too crazy about it at this point. how do you get everybody on board on your side? >> you know i used to be in the freedom caucus with jim jordan is he a dear close friend of mine. i disagree with his analysis. let's take a look at what the

bill does. mandates in the obamacare are gone. taxes are gone. penalties are gone. we have taken the government out of the equation the government used to be between patients and their doctors and that's gone. sure, we kept the treatment of preexisting conditions. steve: that's great. >> kept the idea for the 26-year-old. those were ideas that states were working on long before obamacare got involved. i don't agree with the analysis. ainsley: if you decide not to be a part of this and not sign up for it, are you penalized. >> no. that's it. what's the bigger picture? if you look at one of the main things that undid obamacare it wasn't really affordable care. it was affordable coverage. you could afford to have insurance. you couldn't afford to get sick. that was one of the things that really sort of went right to the heart of the matter and one of the things we wanted to fix. that's what these tax credits are for. so that if you get sick, you can actually afford to go to the doctor. steve: um-huh. brian: big thing is going to be number one can you get republicans on board? number two, with the cbo how

it's going to score it. mick, are you -- i mean, director. are you concerned that politics will be playing a role in this because the ceo was wildly off about obamacare. >> they were. in fact, if you go back and look at the cbo numbers they thought millions of more people would be on it we knew that wasn't the case. we knew the cbo was gone. we spent time on it. i know tom price also in the house with me and jim jordan have looked at it as well. i'm absolutely confident in large part because of the efficiencies we drive into medicaid. we give states something republicans have wanted for a long time. states more control over medicaid dollars. that drives tremendous long-term savings. not only do we think this is a way to give people healthcare that they can afford. also helps our long-term debt situation. ainsley: will you be able to get enough republicans on board to pass this thing through? >> yes. here is why. the president is 100 percent behind. this work closely with the house. he is in on this. we will be pushing this. this is the obamacare

replacement plan that everybody asked for. it's the obamacare replacement plan he promised when he ran. brian: senator rand paul one of the people not for this. he had big show on friday. he is pretty staunch. he says i'm with the freedom caucus on. this another friend of mine. no one could see the bill until last night. more importantly and i don't think anyone has talked about this yet. another difference between this and obamacare, it will actually go through the committee process. all of those folks who have questions about it. ideas how to improve it. steve: good. >> could the bill get better? sure. we will let the process work. which is another failure of obamacare that we're fixing. steve: another, mic, president of the united states said about it on the campaign trail regarding insurance coverage make sure everybody is covered. i read, i think it was in the "the washington post" that said that to cover low income americans they would wind up with a tax credit of up to $14,000 per year for a family. is that really going to do it? >> yeah.

in fact we are doing better than what the president said. we are actually going to give folks care they can afford to use. and that's why we use the tax credit. it's an effective safety net. keep in mind for folks who don't get coverage at work. again, it is following through on what the president said on campaign trail. brian: we did something last week that you do probably every day now and that has a chance to talk to the president. we asked him about entitlement reform and somehow balancing the budget on just discretionary spending. here is what he said. if you don't mind, we used you as a quote. >> brian: he says you have to take an ax to entitlements. your treasury secretary says we are not touching it. who is right? >> i will tell you who is right. if the economy failif the econom right. our country is going to sail. when we let the jobs happen tied up in regulation. i'm cutting taxes but

something i'm doing more important than taxes i think actually even more important and i was a little surprised to see this because if you go to the great business leaders they are more excited about this than cutting the taxes, regulation. brian: he never really answered the question. but you want to see entitlement reform but you are not going to get it, at least this year? >> right. listen, one thing the president said there is absolutely correct. which is economic growth, a healthy economy fixes a lot of these problems. in fact, if you go back and you look at the 190s during the clinton administration, they were talking about doing hillary clinton at that time. it didn't work it didn't go. more people actually got added to health insurance roles in the 1990s under the clinton administration because of economic growth. we have lived in a generation now that doesn't know what it pleens to be in a booming economy. if we can do that, it solves a lot of our problems. ainsley: what does it mean for planned parenthood. >> we defund planned parenthood and move extra money over to the federally qualified healthcare clinics and take that issue off the table. this is not about denying women access to care. we want them to have it.

they will have it. they simply won't get to through places that also provide abortions. steve: when is this going to pass if it will. >> i think it does pass the house before easter. the senate. deliberative body harder to predict. the president is all in on it. and we'll be pushing it for the next several weeks. brian: maybe it will be a really good friday. >> every friday is a good friday. not as good as free pancake tuesdays though. brian: people are concerned about the give away. ainsley: thank you, mic. great to see you. steve: thank you, sir. >> thanks y'all. ainsley: he said y'all, did you hear him? heather: i did and he said it correctly. ainsley: is he from carolinas, too. heather: exactly. we have stories that we have been following for you all morning. a fox news alert for you. iran flexing its muscles at test firing ballistic missiles and destroying a floating barge more than 150 miles away. iranian forces also buzzing u.s. sailors sending fast attack vessels within

600 yards of a navy ship. then also in north korea this happening provoking the u.s. the country now saying that their recent missile launches were tested to see if they could strike american bases in japan. giving washington reason to worry. >> they have an icm that could reach the united states. we have seen them parade them around and seen them in the factory. what they haven't done is test it. ainsley: the u.n. security council holding an emergency meeting tomorrow to talk about the launches. and a wanna be juwaad is behind bars threatening to behead his own mother. 26-year-old from long island, new york facing terrorism charges for providing support to isis. nabbing him after send facebook pro-isis messages. he couldn't find a way. in his attorney wants a mental and medical evaluation to. some extreme weather. tornadoes outbreak wreaking havoc on the midwest.

one protester tearing across in the city of trimble. look at this. so houses completely knocked off foundation. then that same storm system sparking a tornadoes in zimmerman. that's just north of minneapolis. it's the earliest on record in that state. more winning for president trump. >> going to win so much. you may even get tired of winning. winning. heather: exxon mobil planning to inare vest $20 billion over the next 10 years. that's a lot of dough. the plan will create 45,000 new jobs with an average salary of around $100,000. well, certainly also be a game changer in the import to export ratio of oil and gas products for the states, the u.s. those are a look at your headlines. steve: that's right. why bring it from overseas when we have it right here. steve: while you were sleeping, casey anthony breaking her silence for the

very first time. what she just revealed about her daughter's murder. you're going to want to hear it. brian: what does the rest of the world think about president trump? >> have you guys visited trump tower yet? >> yeah. i was about to make america again hat. >> he is a great guy. first guy in the world who doesn't look for money. >> he got the money already. brian: we promise you won't hear this anywhere else. that story next. ♪ is that tough snuff ♪ ain't that tough enough ♪ ain't that tough enough ♪ ain't that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you.

people are going to -- the aclu is already taking them to court. ainsley: there are six countries still in the ban. and three of them are state sponsors of terrorism. and three have served as safe havens for terrorists. brian: one thing that's wrong is christians have been persecuted. you have been seeing the churches have been destroyed. the historic buildings have been wrecked. and they have been annihilated. they have been given 24 hours to leave or they will be killed. literally crucified. there was a special carve out for them to come here, exempt them but they said that looked too much like muslim-only. so they. ainsley: jesse watters trump towers is about a block away. he was out there. if you walk out there, blocked off. there are so many tourists taking pictures in front of it. selfies with trump tower in the background. they went out to think what they think about the travel ban. steve: people from other countries. >> where are you from. >> italy, germany. scotland. >> have you guys visited trump tower yet.

limited? steve: sometimes. >> sometimes. ainsley: i don't drive. >> you don't drive at all. driving the speed limit. what that means is you have a low risk tolerance. you don't want a ticket. steve: sure. >> people invest in same strategy. go conservative or overly aggressive. steve: absolutely. here is the problem with the fact that the market has gone up, up and away. that is people if they haven't invested their money in it, they are going, look, it's going up, i hate to miss this. investing at the top is always kind of a bad strategy, isn't it? >> at its highest. what i always encourage people to do is talk continue to vestment professional. really kind of walk this through and look long-term what's your strategy and what are you going to do? ainsley: all right. let's go through. so viewer emails. jennifer in oregon says my husband and i would like to retire in the next 10 years. with the growth in the market, at what point do we move retirement savings into more conservative funds to protect our money. >> of the protection question: everyone wants to protect their money. that's very good. you work very hard for it the

problem is if you go too conservative what will happen is you won't outpace inflation. inflation hovers between 3 and 4%. that means the cost of things is rising. you don't want to go too conservative where your money is not growing at all. again, get some guidance from investment professional. walk through. have a strategy on how we will begin to make tweaks to overall strategy. steve: you don't want to invest in something that could make you a lot of money but could lose all your money. >> you don't want to ride that. steve: snapchat. >> there have been a lot of things. and i have learned my lesson the hard way. don't go it alone. get some guidance. steve: terry from new jersey wrote this @ this. i inherited $40,000 a year ago. should i put it in a mortgage or invest it. >> whenever you are talking about receiving inheritance that's pleasing. you want to get as much mileage out of this if you can if they only have a mortgage, i would say put money toward that mortgage but also invest some. i firmly believe in that

strategy of getting the most mileage from that money as couldn't. ainsley: next one is lori in wisconsin. my husband is 62 and i am 60. we have about $1.5 million tied into the market. we are afraid of another economic down turn or turn down. how do we know when the time is right to retire? >> okay. so, first, i would congratulate them on working so hard. that is fantastic. now, whenever it comes to talking about the timing of retirement. it's really a matter of where you are in your lifestyle. so i would encourage them to talk with an investment professional. try to talk about how much are they going to live on per month of that nest egg they put away and begin to do this now before they retire. be care of lifestyle one decision from going backwards financially. be very, very careful and protect what you have built. ainsley: ainsley from manhattan wants to know should i buy a car? i sound like i'm privileged. steve: you have a bunch of yellow ones riding up and down the street. >> can you buy a car buy it with cash. ainsley: never buy new buy

to you and your family. you are stuck with us another hour and a half. we're halfway through the show. steve: it's a good stick. brian: we have agenda and items and legislation to talk about from the trump administration. we also have an ongoing challenges as well as tony robbins coming up to close the show to inspire you and put a bounce in your step. ainsley: and rand paul to find out what he likes and doesn't like about the new obamacare plan. first we will hand it over to heather childers who has headlines for you. heather: good morning to you. casey anthony breaking her silence nearly nine years after her daughter's murder in brand new interview. anthony insists she doesn't know much about the last two hours of the 2-year-old cailee's life and speculates what she would be life if she would be here today. >> what would she be like right now. >> total bad as. [laughter] i would like to think she would be listening to classic rock and playing sports and

not taking [bleep] from anybody. >> but you are also convicted of one thing. >> lying to the cops. >> right. >> lying to the cops every day. cops lie to people every day. i'm one of the unfortunate idiots who admitted they lied. i'm still not certain as i stand here today about what happened. i don't give a [bleep] what anybody thinks about me. i don't care about that. i never will. i'm okay with myself. i sleep pretty good at night. heather: really unbelievable. cailee anthony by the way would have turned 12 years old this year. anthony now believes in palm beach, florida with one of the lead detectives that was on her defense team. so you can't read? no problem. you can teach anyway. literacy test for teachers could soon be a thing of the past in new york state. next week education officials will vote on whether to scrap a literacy test for perspective teachers. it would make it easier for people to become teachers. the critics say it would -- could move to weaken the candidate pool. and is this the worst parking

job ever? a car on top of a classic 195 corvette in a wal-mart parking lot near orlando, florida. yep, well, the witness says that the driver was cutting through the lot when they turned toward the corvette, accidently hit the gas and then drove right on to it. they needed a throw truck, obviously to get it off. no one was injured. oh, that's awful. jordan car. steve: that's tough to look at. heather: tough day for if a that person. steve: robby mook former campaign manager for hillary clinton joins us live from our nation's capitol. thanks for stopping by "fox & friends." why didn't you guys ever stop during the campaign on this program? >> i'm sorry? why didn't people appear on the program? steve: yeah, from the campaign. we invited you. we invited nic marrow. we invited mrs. clinton. nobody ever came. >> i'm happy to be here this morning. you know, the election is over. it was a tough fight. and i'm happy to be here with you this morning.

steve: you know what, maybe she would have gone she showed up on the show. brian: what's going on with the russian investigation that's going on. i want you to take a look at hillary clinton's tweet back in 2016 and, of course, i was really co cognizant of then thee was so much going on. as president trump looks out and tries to find out was his wires tapped? was he being surveilled. keep in mind hillary clinton said this in 2016 in a tweet computer scientists have apparently uncovered covert server linking the trump organization to a russian bank. does that show intelligence got to you guys? >> i think it's important to step back first of all and remember the facts here. the facts are that trump aides were caught talking to russian agents. those conversations were captured because intelligence agency regularly taps the phone line of the russian. steve: you say there was a wiretap? >> there was a wiretap of

russian agents and that those russian agents were communicating with trump staff. that's why they were picked up. brian: how do you know that? >> that's what the intelligence community has told us. that's what's been reported very widely. those are the facts. so were there wiretaps of russian agents? absolutely. the question is why in the trump aids were talking to russian agents. the attorney general still hasn't come forward. we know he lied to the senate committee. he perjured himself. he has not come forward to fully explain. steve: do we know the nature of the discussion. brian: jumping to conclusion. >> we need to find out. get to the bottom of what was going on. why were so many conversations happening in the first place? the whole situation is very bizarre that american campaign operatives would be going back and forth so much with not just the russian ambassador but apparently other russian agents as well. and it's not just phone conversations.

we're now learning it's also in person meetings. that's why what a lot of us have been calling for is an independent, bipartisan committee to get to the bottom of this. because this is a bipartisan issue. this isn't democrats and republicans. they came after the democrats this time. they're going to come after the republicans in the future. brian: don't you think, robe, it's important for somebody in intelligence to come clean on this? for example we were not surveying trump tower. okay. we had nothing to do with that. then it turns out there are multiple reports of the unnamed source us the same ones that seem to be cutting and pasting into the "new york times" these days that said they were actually doing that the entire time. and then rumored to be james comey is upset that he didn't do that and he wants the record straightened out but then it turns out the past report says they were doing that through their counter intelligence arm. so doesn't that bother you that no one can be truthful about what was actually happening? >> well, again, i think we need to go back to the facts. what we know is that russians were being monitored. brian: no, we don't know that

we don't know if the order was. steve: according to leaks. brian: according to leaks. we don't know. we are going by what other people said that other people told them. >> you are reinforcing my point. we need an independent, open investigation into this. we need to get all the facts out there for the american people to see. you guys are interested. i'm interested. there are a lot of people out there that want to get to the bottom of this. i want to underscore again. the whole reason we are having this conversation is because the trump campaign was talking tout russians a lot. that's how this got picked up. we need to understand why this is happening. ainsley: the timing is very interesting. because you tried to get out fisa report in the summer. that didn't work out. so then in the fall, right when hillary clinton's numbers were going down when it looked like she might not win this election, then there is another request to wiretap, allegedly according to these reports. what did hillary clinton know and what was her involvement? >> hillary clinton didn't know about any of this. i mean, let's be very clear. ainsley: how do you explain this tweet.

computer scientist scientists he uncovered link to russian bank. >> you should ask your research go back and look. reporting done by slate magazine. she was reacting to what reporters were saying just like we are now reacting to what reporters are saying. i think that that cyber link that got reported that that was in reaction to should be investigated too. we need to get the facts. steve: robby we would all love to get the facts and what is happening and you know this is how the press works. perhaps somebody in the intel community leaks some information of a very narrow nature to discredit donald trump rather than say everything. you know, a member of the trump campaign talked to somebody in russia. they were simply asking about blah. it could have been something innocuous. all we know is they talked to russians, right? so clearly it looks like a concerted effort, a narrative to make it look like the trump people talked to russians and

the reason that trump won was because the russians hacked the election and that's why mrs. clinton lost. >> well, i don't think we need to relitigate the election. trump won and he is president of the united states. that is settled. that is not up for debate. steve: without the help of the russians? >> it's clear -- we know for a fact that the russians stole files from the dnc and released them strategically to help donald trump. 17 intelligence agencies have said that. that's a fact. it doesn't matter whether, you know, how -- you know whether it affected the owskt election or not. ainsley: the information exposed were facts. hillary clinton has no one to blame but herself for that. >> sure. and the russians, i think in the future election are going to break into the rnc or break into some republican candidates. steal information from them and put it out there to hurt them as well. ainsley: the way it happened was wrong, absolutely. >> look, it was illegal. it wasn't just wrong. it was a crime.

and the question is was anybody aiding and abetting or did people know about it and they never threw up a flag? that's all we need to understand here. and that's why we are just asking. let's have an investigation to get et facts. you know, again, i don't want to make this partisan because this is an issue that effects democrats and republicans. steve: sure. >> let's just leave it to say on other issues, we saw that jason chaffetz and others in congress were happy to have big, wide open public investigations. for some reason. steve: in the congress. >> in the congress. they are not willing to do that in this case. brian: i think they are. we had senator jason chaffetz and tom cotton. they will go where the facts lead them. senator graham is going to have lunch with president trump today. is he going to do the same thing. i watched his town hall on saturday in south carolina. i think it's happening. >> i hope it does. look, we still haven't seen the attorney general go up and explain why he perjured himself. explain what those meetings

were. brian: he does not believe that i know you believe it. he does not believe that and he explained it out yesterday. >> that's why we need to get him in back under oath to explain everything. let's get the facts. brian: great to see you. thanks so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you for the opportunity. thanks. ainsley: democrat says he will block president trump's nominee for deputy attorney general no matter what. can he do that? former doj official jay christian adams coming up next. brian: and from the ladies who brought you this. >> yes, i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house. brian: now, a new movement is planned and this time they are shutting down schools. sounds like such a great idea. ainsley: could you imagine that thinking that all the time about blowing up the white house? ♪ like i know you do ♪ and even when your hope is gone ♪ move along ♪ move along

brian: all right connecticut senator richard blumenthal determined to block president trump's nominee for deputy attorney general. i will use every tool to block ag nominee unless he appoints independent special prosecutor. can he do this? and is this part of a bigger picture? a plan to stop the trump administration at every turn. former justice department official jay christian adams has been on the inside. now he is on the outside. he thinks. so christian, first off, does he -- can he do that? can a senator actually go into delay a game four corners offense? >> he can put what's called a hold on the appointee but it only lasts for a short time, brian. this is what the republicans did to the deputy attorney general nominee james kohl during the obama administration. and it held out for a few weeks. but eventually blumenthal loses because the senate has

ways to overcome a hold. brian: we are talking about this because no one usually focuses on the deputy attorney general but now because senator sessions and now attorney general sessions recused himself you look at the deputy. and that is daniel beaten at bu. is he a president obama appointee. you don't want him running away with the investigation. >> largely a political but still an a obama appointee. president trump can solve this problem this afternoon by putting somebody in who agrees with his agenda. an acting deputy attorney general. it has to come within the civil service existing department ranks. that's going to be tough because they are all against trump pretty much. but he can solve this by putting a fighter in this afternoon who agrees with getting to the bottom of draining the swamp. brian: christian, have you ever seen any push back against incoming president like this? >> no. and, brian, that's because of

the culture inside the beltway washington. the department of justice is just one example of many. 9 to 1 donations go against trump and they go to hillary. you have people who believe in the gospel according to the "the washington post." they read the gospel according to the "new york times" every day. and they believe that trump is bad and they're going to use their petty power to leak, stall, and block all of his agenda. the people trump picks have to fight. they have to have courage or else nothing is going to get done. brian: right. back ground checks so they don't have land mines standing in their own way of their own creation. jay christian adams, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: next on our rundown unless have you a different one. from the ladies who brought you this. >> yes, i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house. brian: new movement plan this time shutting down schools. carlie shimkus is here. she is not going to jump.

being called a day without a woman protest. there was a day without immigrants and now there is this. protest organizers say the point is to highlight the economic impact that women have. so they are protesting things like work place discrimination. the wage gap. schools in chapel hill, north carolina and alexandria, virginia are shutting down because so many teachers are vowed to stay home. so, of course, this is causing major, major blow back online already. steve: sick or day off. >> day off to protest. brian: what do women want? >> let's take a look at what some on social media are saying. ainsley: watch the movie. brian: where do you start? >> ask mel gibson. >> michael on twitter says i employ twice a many women as men. without hesitation i will fire anyone who fails to show up for work because of a day without women. daniel says working moms find child care for shutting down schools for this.

>> you would like the old carol merrill with that pointing. the more the white house focuses on their action items, their agenda items, ticking off one after the other after the other, what they promised the american people and then go on the road and sell what they're doing with congress on these various issues in a positive, very transparent way, the better off they are. getting sidetracked on the democrats obsession with russia. i watched that robby mook interview you guys did earlier. they're just, i had never seen democrats so obsessed with russia. when we needed them in the '80s to fight with us in rhetorically and philosophically against the old soviet union they were nowhere to be found. they were siding with the seven yet union. brian: they have been kinder than ever. ran over president obama for eight years, until this last month. they got tough.

>> russia and putin got stronger and stronger and more influential and grabbed more territory under barack obama than i would imagine they would be successful in doing so against a trump presidency. so they're obsessed with russia. we get that. there will be an investigation. it will find nothing. this obamacare replacement guys, is a bit of a controversy on capitol hill. i'll tell you why. steve: let's get to that in a minute because you did mention robby mook. it got started when president trump said i think president obama wiretapped me in trump tower. people came out said there was no wiretapping. we had robby mook on he actually admitted, he is the democrat in charge of her campaign that they are and did wiretap the russians invariably the trump people as well. listen to this. >> i think it is important to step back first of all and remember the facts here. the facts are that trump aides

were caught talking to russian agents and they were, those conversations were captured because the intelligence community regularly taps the phone lines of those russian agents. so i think it is important -- steve: you say there was a wiretap? >> there was a wiretap of russian agents and that those russian agents were communicating with trump staff. that is why they were picked up. brian: how do you know that? >> that is what the intelligence community has told us. that is what has been reported very widely. those are the facts. steve: that is what the intel community told us. that is the problem. there are gigantic leakers in this administration giving away big secrets where those people could to to prison if they're ever found. >> eddie haskell got himself into a little trouble there with the comment. steve: he did. >> we both know roger stone, paul manafort, roger page, their communications from the reporting that i have seen, the

guardian has done a lot on this, "new york times" wrote about this in january, their conversations were swept up in the dragnet of intelligence monitoring of so-called russian agents or russian associates or, anyone they were at a conference with who was, whoever worked in russia. wh so when, i imagine when donald trump was tweeting out that comment about russia and monitoring and wiretapping, he was referring to what had already been reported. steve: of course. >> you can quibble with the way he worded it. did obama order it? was it on going in overall investigation into the alleged russian tapperring with the election we don't know. getting back with the main point. a lot of this people's eyes glaze over with russian story. we'll find out more later on. the administration and republicans time is ticking away, halfway through the first one hundred days. now they're putting points on the board.

they fixed the executive order. great rollout with kelly and sessions and tillerson. the way it should have been done initially frankly. their messaging communications have to follow. that means everybody in the white house and republicans on capitol hill they have to understand they're on the same team here. they will disahe free on some policies. you have the media, academia, got entertainment industry, a lot of judges, obamas, probably the bushes, none of them will help them push their agenda forward. only republicans will be able to do that. they have to stay focused. brian: that is interesting. richard trumka, head of the union, have lunch today, afternoon. lindsey gram will be up there too. >> oh, god. brian: as we transition to talk about health care, will be interesting to he see the role the president will play. i've seen it. he has great people skills. he has nothing against jim jordan. nothing against paul ryan, but how will he get republicans together? rand paul and he really hit it

off. how will he get rand paul in? take a little bit of rand paul's idea, a little bit of freedom caucus idea to have them a seat at table? >> i think you're making a great point. brian, what many people are not pointing out today, the trumpism of the trump health care reform, trump parts of were transparency in pricing, competition across state lines, even on the edges, repealing the mckaren ferguson act which gave insurance companies antitrust insulation protection. where is that in this plan? i don't see any transparency and control of the skyrocketing prices of health care. i certainly don't see the competition across state lines. the drug companies, nowhere, no provisions about that as far as i can see. trump went across the country, supported by both democrats and republicans, and a lot of what was saying there, none of that, as far as i'm reading today,

none of that is in the bill so far. brian: great point. >> if i'm trump, look i went to the people on this guys. this has to be in. as long as they're worried about keeping entitlement in place using tax credits with 26-year-old, i guess 26 you're still immature and juvenile you have to be on your parent plan. as long as they're clinging on to the old provisions it will be hard to square all this. melissa: there are some differences. eliminates the taxes placed on businesses and penalties on those who don't want to enroll. you're no longer going to be penalized. >> that is good but the skyrocketing cost of health care, i don't believe is dealt with in this legislation. i think, again what trump said at every debate, almost every speech, across state lines, you will compete, more transparency with drug companies and they have to do with competitive bidding like with the oecd countries so we get lower prescription prices. none of that is in this.

steve: i was shocked into across state lines. >> a lot of lobbying goes into this contrary to what people think. steve: we had carley shimkus a couple minutes ago, how in alexandria, virginia, across where you're sitting, 300 teachers will not show up for work tomorrow, it is a day without woman day to protest president trump. they said they will not show up. so they canceled school. melissa: also in chapel hill, north carolina, laura. >> guys, everything in our society today has taken on political tint and i think it is really unfortunate. people can't get away from politics for a minute. kids go to school to learn. if people want to protest on their own time they can do that. but i find this to be another example of the left having burrowed into the academic establishment from the administrators on down and conservatives afraid to speak out, parent are afraid to speak

out or few conservative teachers there in the public schools are afraid to speak out. i think this is appalling. how about a day without thinking? how about a day without critical thinking? how about a day without freedom of real expression in the public schools. you should hear horror stories of schools in d.c. area, people afraid to speak in schools because of what will happen to them. we have a lot without. steve: saying do it on your own time? >> you are an educator. and now you're taking a quote, personal day to protest? they're doing it because they want to shut down the schools. then they want to come in the next day and tell the kids how noble and how viable the protest is what they should learn from it. this will be a teachable moment the next day in school. i find it both juvenile and depressing frankly but everyone has to speak out. brian: i hang out at a all-male locker rooms and all-male places

we do not need to be reminded importance of women. i speak for all men. women are important. please work. steve: what all-male places are you going to? brian: just emphasizing a point. we have all-male locker rooms. >> for now. that is a voice tinning of the past. that will not be around. melissa: laura are you going to work tomorrow? that is the question. >> i am. melissa: women at "lifezette" don't show up are they getting fired? >> i don't know. i would have to take that under advisement. we all take our jobs very seriously at "lifezette." i don't think we have anybody that "lifezette" that would do that. brian: temp agency, send me a man. >> reagan with air traffic controllers. we to fire them move on. a lot of people want work. a lot of unemployed teachers as well. steve: run your radio show and "lifezette." >> take care.

>> this is something that was done to a large extent because of our policies and the policies of this new administration having to do with regulation and so many other things. and i want to thank very much exxonmobil. steve: well, president trump making good on another campaign promise, keeping jobs in the united states as exxonmobil commits to investing $20 billion and adding 45,000 new jobs. here to break it all down, he has a big smile on his face, stuart varney from fox business. melissa: that is nothing but great. >> look, not just keeping jobs in america, it is growing jobs in america. let's repeat the numbers. $20 billion investment, most in

the gulf coast region. 45,000 jobs. that will be 35,000 construction jobs, 12 you thousand permanent jobs. all going into america. of course, it doesn't hurt, does it, that the former chief of exxon is now president trump's secretary of state, and it doesn't hurt that president trump is going to cut taxes for oil companies. and it doesn't hurt that president trump favors fossil fuels, america's energy independence. that encourages oil companies to come on out there and increase jobs in america in funding in america. it is all good. it is another win, isn't it? brian: he tweeted this out to try to get emphasis on it. this is where his communication team could start taking over. 45,000 construction jobs in the u.s., gulf coast region. 20 billion investment. we're already winning again. buy american, hire american, the principles of the core agenda, as you know, and goes on to say thanks. >> that is just out, isn't it? steve: came out a little earlier. >> okay. steve: i have a question, if

they're going to have this big push, exxon is, in the gulf will they have to change any epa rules? >> they are going to change epa rules whether they change how you can drill and how often can you drill i don't know about that suffice it to say epa rules are going to be changed in favor of more production of america's domestic energy, specifically, they're going to change the rules on fracking. going to allow more of it. steve: ultimately changing epa rules for more jobs, jobs, jobs? >> that is the goal. melissa: are you getting sick of this? are you getting sick of winning? 45,000 jobs. that is awesome. >> look at the smile. there is a poll. it was buried. in the poll it shows that 55% of respond did not liked president trump's economic policy. they approve of it. that proportion is rising. they might not like the man himself, his style, but they really like his economic policy. and this fits right in. this is exxon creating jobs.

brian: more you talk about policy more normal everything feels again. >> wouldn't that be nice. brian: we need some normal. melissa: you're welcome anytime. brian: we'll watch you from 9:00 to noon at fbn. melissa: we're pushing you off the couch? >> he doesn't want me around. >> get outta here. something from a action movie a man clinging to a helicopter by his bare hands over rushing water. the incredible rescue is ahead. brian: he should drop a line next time. steve: senator rand paul is not happy with the replacement of obamacare. what is his plan? what would he like to do? he will talk to ainsley and brian next on "fox & friends." ♪

brian: this tweet just came in and it is from donald trump about the approval i guess he has, what is emerging from the house in terms of an economic reboot on obamacare. he says this wonderful new health care bill is out for review. negotiation and, and negotiation. obamacare is complete and total disaster. it is imploding fast. ainsley, it is up for negotiation. melissa: that is exactly right. rand paul. i'm sure you're pleased it is up for negotiation because i know you weren't pleased with a lot in this bill. i know you read it. it was released yesterday. what do you like and not like about it? >> i like the president's statement is up for negotiation. i think those have begun. i spoke with the president yesterday. he is open-minded on this he want obamacare repealed like all conservatives do but realizes

conservatives have a lot of objections. the house bill is obamacare light. it won't work. premiums and prices will continue to spiral out of control. they acknowledge it in their own bill, insurance company bailout, 100 billion at least in insurance company bailout because the mark account place is open. they leave the individual mandate. nothing to help consumers join associations to bring prices down. my replacement actually has market reforms to bring prices down. people have to realize, all over the liberal press they're saying oh, who is going to lose their insurance. they have to realize people who have insurance can't use it now because it is too expensive on premiums you but way too expensive on deductibles. in a real marketplace, higher deductible the lower the premium. we have completely broken the insurance marketplace. obamacare light doesn't fix it. it is a real mistake to go for this. but the negotiation will be conservatives say we're not taking obamacare light. brian: you have to actually work

things out. that is way it used to get done. maybe not everybody is 100% happy but that is okay. omb director, mick mulvaney used to be a member of the freedom caucus, helped found it. he has a different view. listen what he said earlier, senator. >> that is the obama care replacement plan everybody asked for. it is the obama care replacement plan he promised he ran. we will get it through the house and senate. largely because of efficiencies we drive into medicate. we give states something republicans wanted a long time. we give state more control over their medicare dollars. that drives tremendous long-term savings. not only is this a way to give people health care they an afford and helps long-term debt situation. your care. brian: your take on that explanation. >> medicaid would expand on cpi medical which is inflation index going up 4%. if you introduce a new medicaid expansion, allow it to continue

and allow it to grow at 4%, that is untenable. that is already our problem. we already have entitlement, medicare and medicaid woefully underfunded and have enormous debt attached to them. i don't think having a permanent increase, also going to increase it, if you increase people on it. if california doubles the amount of people on medicaid, they will spend more money. it will to up 4% a year. i don't think that is realistic way to look at entitlement programs. more importantly, this plan keeps the obama care taxes for another year. keeps the cadillac tax forever. it keeps an individual mandate. but here is the interesting thing. the obama care light bill says that you will pay the penalty not to the government but to the insurance company. this is an all likelihood unconstitution fall and could destroy the whole repeal plan. brian: tax break goes to insurance companies? tax credit goes to insurance company you choose and that earth bows you? >> no, this is different. not the credit. we're talking about a individual

mandate that is a penalty. if you drop your insurance and want to buy it again there is a penalty. under obamacare you had to pay the government the penalty. you know obama care light the house leadership plan you will pay the penalty to the insurance company. this is all likelihood unconstitutional. it is the individual mandate but pay your penalty not to the government, to a private insurance company. so much of their bill is bailout for the insurance companies. most of us are unhappy that the insurance companies have all the power. in my replacement bill we take that power away from the insurance companies and give it to the consumer this is obamacare light. it will not pass. conservatives aren't going to take it. melissa: maybe we can change it so it does pass, move on to other things and give good health care. affordable health care. you all have reed it and work on it.

>> we'll work on something. ainsley: thank you so much, senator. brian: casey anthony speaking out about her daughter's murder. the what she revealed. ainsley: did hillary clinton's campaign know about wiretapping? her former campaign manager might have admitted it to us. ed henry will talk about his comments next. tech: don't let a cracked windshield ruin your plans. trust safelite. with safelite's exclusive "on my way text"... you'll know exactly when we'll be there. giving you more time for what matters most.

were wiretaps of trump associates. reporter: he certainly suggested that. my read from covering the campaign too is that robby mook was referring to briefings he received or other top officials received during the campaign because remember there were these questions about contact with the russians and he flat-out said on this program that there were wiretaps. and look, we know that as well from the "new york times" reporting and elsewhere. remember they reported on january 19th, january 20th, as donald trump was taking office some of the information being poured over by the intelligence community included wiretaps. so is donald trump right, that he was the target of it, or as robby mook was saying, i think the difference here mook was talking about wiretapping of russian agent but who got swept up in that? did donald trump, michael flynn, and others? who was talking to the russian

agent and where are the legal lines. it likely will be investigated. >> if folks at home weren't watching here is what robby mook said about that. >> i think it is important to step back first of all to remember the facts here. the facts are trump aides were caught talking to russian agents and they were, those conversations were captured because the intelligence community regularly taps the phone lines of those russian agents. so i think it is important -- steve: you say there was a wiretap? >> there was a wiretap of russian agent and that those russian agents were communicating with trump staff. that is why they were picked up. brian: how do you know that? >> that is what the intelligence community has told us. that is what has been reported very widely of the those are the facts. ainsley: was that an oops moment? is he regretting that? reporter: he is referring to what i said. the intelligence community told us. there were briefings during the campaign about the podesta hack

and other things. so i think, he is referring to that. but i also think you asked a great question ainsley, which was, if the clinton camp wasn't in on this, why on i believe october 31st, right before the election hillary clinton from her account sends out a tweet, wait a second, "slate" magazine now has this evidence, a report there was information from a russian bank, had gotten into a server. >> you want me to read it? hillary tweet. computer scientists uncover adco vert server linking the trump organization to russian based bank. if she is tweeting that she is in on it, she knows. reporter: she has that remember jewel energy, a major russian energy company we reported on late in the campaign from wikileaks and other sources where john podesta the campaign chairman of above robby mook, got thousands of shares, so

there were ties there. tony podesta, john podesta's brother, a lobbiest made $170,000 last year lobbying for the biggest russian bank that wanted to get congress and others to remove sanctions against them. there are all kinds of russian ties on the democratic side as well. look, are there questions for this white house. the trump white house? yes. robby mook didn't force michael flynn to mislead vice president pence on his contacts. that is his responsibility. this investigation may be much wide every and look at democratic ties as well. brian: the thing that stunned me personally, i think my colleagues might agree, the judge was on, a president of the united states doesn't need a fisa request. he could say i want that person, i want the nsa to focus on this person and the job's done. >> the question there though is, if president obama as president trump suggested did order wiretap whether through fisa or going around fisa, if any of

that happened, obviously could be very problematic, you have to wonder if they ordered that, the obama white house, why didn't they before the election reveal more of the information it was really damaging? steve: ed, the president is never the one who says, hey, i want you to top donald trump's phones. always somebody else a million miles profit oval office. reporter: you could be very right. remember the tweet on saturday, first one from president trump said it was president obama. maybe he meant the obama administration. he is president of the united states. he aled that president obama did it. brian: do you have a monitor there? reporter: yeah? brian: can you take a look, explain this graphic. this is how we're teasing you all day. are you concentrating, pondering, what is going on there? reporter: was taken on the white house lawn, brian cole, one of our ace photographers i needed it for publicity shoot. he did a great job. i was intensely focused. it is how i prepare for this

potentially to be barack obama's very own watergate except on a scale so audacious that it makes richard nixon's actual watergate scandal look pretty tame by comparison. we know that president obama spied on his enemies. even spied on his friend. angela merkel and various united nations officials. we know that he somehow obtained all sorts of phone records, from, from journalists, associated press and zoo on. from fox's own james rosen. steve: that's right. >> there was some eavesdropping. sharyl attkisson had made a credible complaint her computer was hacked into, supposedly, a technician looked at it, said this was done with the kind of software that only the government has. so, you know, a lot of, a lot of

this is all shadow wii and we still don't know a lot of concrete details. but it certainly looks like president obama was up to no good. whether it was to influence the outcome of the november election, maybe, maybe not. but more likely to me it was to sabotage the incoming trump administration. steve: absolutely. matthew, you know what else? is simply the fact that you have all this, okay, so we just had robby mook on, hillary's former campaign manager, said, yeah, they were wiretapping the russians and the people who, at trump tower and elsewhere who were trump's associates. he admitted there was wiretapping but the key is then, if you have got the wiretap, you have got to have somebody in the press you can hand it to. it is that leaking that is driving the president crazy as well. >> as, the current president,

yes, as well it should. the intelligence community is supposed to be part of the executive branch. they're supposed to carry out the will of the president. subject the laws of the land. and right now a lot of them are making it very difficult for president trump to do his job. steve: right. >> it seems like they're, they're loyal to president obama. steve: yeah. >> this has been called obama's shadow government or a deep state conspiracy and, i think we're, we have only learned the broad outlines so far and that, to use a cliche, this is just the tip of the iceberg. steve: you could be right. matthew, thanks for joining us. >> thanks very much. steve: meanwhile he inspired thousands of people. this morning he has a new challenge for you. tony robbins that is to say is coming up next. first let's check in with bill hemmer with a preview what happens on the channel in about 12 minutes. good morning. >> another stream of news from
