very dangerous situation. he will get out and try to evade police. he will be tackled from behind. he is down. looked like they taseed him. >> state of hawaii has announced trump administration revise the executive order. >> right at the beginning i should hit an issue that i know is on the minds of many and that is controversial so i should speak to it directly. i am a new york giants fan. [laughter] ♪ r-o-c-k in the u.s.a. ♪ rocking in the u.s.a. >> good morning, ted. steve: ted the cameraman. welcome to rainy new york city live from studio e. thank you very much for spending your day with us. we have a lot to talk about. brian: big news about james comey being a giants fan when you think for the longest time he might have been a jets fan. now suddenly that's exposed.
3:02 am
steve: fbi stands for football. ainsley: um not baseball. steve: not fbi. ainsley: i'm adding a not. b for barvelg. brian: besides james comey being a giants fan. hacked to a level it has never been hacked before. revealing what's worse. not so much people and agents which is bad in the short-term but practices and methods. it is devastating. ainsley: weeks releases 8,000 pages in a document releasing how the cia hacks. full hacking capacity at the cia. this is supposed to be according to the experts the worse leak in history. steve: here is we were just looking at langley the cia headquarters. from one of the super secret rooms. you think your iphone or android is encrypted they figured ways to get around that your smart television they have got a program called weeping angel that if you have
3:03 am
a samsung television apparently they can turn on the camera and you think the tv is off and turn on the microphone and put it out over the internet. here is the other scary thing. a lot of the cars these days actually have features where if you get toward the line it will kind of move you back into your lane? there is a suggestion that somebody could hack into your car and kill you. now, keep in mind. brian: especially these self-driving cars they are putting out there as experiments tesla. steve: that's what i'm talking about. there is no suggestion in this gigantic document dump that the cia has used this against any americans in this country. however, if somebody has hacked into it, if the cia has figured a way to do it, somebody else could do it, too. ainsley: reading all this information. 5,000 people work in this spy unit. released by former government hackers and contractors. there is an entire unit devoted to hacking apple products. so if you have an iphone
3:04 am
there is an entire unit that focuses every single hour of their working day on how to get into your iphone. brian: they are out there to keep us safe which i thoroughly believe the cia is. what's bad is going to put pressure on manufacturers to not do it. allies to know the next step. chawt weighed in. >> i think this is worse than snowden. it's one thing to disclose names and places and even operations but once you are describing the sources and methods, that's the he key to what we do. all the energy we spend on vetting of, i don't know, yemeni nationals trying to get into the country. aren't we spend more of our time and effort on the vetting of contractors. snowden was a contractor for nsa. presumably this pinner who is leaks or persons were contractors for cia.
3:05 am
this, i think, is our greatest weakness. steve: it is a great weakness. we should points out according to wikileaks the cia recently lost it control of the majority of its hacking arsenal. so, in other words, while this is all out there, the cia has lost control of how they hack into all this stuff that has been very effective tool. ainsley: sets us back 10, 15 years. worse than snowden. snowden releasing individuals u this is worse because it's releasing the technique of how it's done. brian: what we actually garnered. last thing i because we have to get to obamacare and what's left of it and what isn't. two things, how did it happen number one and number two is they talked about how america collects malware from other countries to make it look as though if somebody is hacked they might blame somebody else. a lot of people on the trump camp say for those of how are jumping to the conclusion that it's russia hacking ourselves there are methods and practices out there to leave somebody else's fingerprints
3:06 am
at the scene of the crime. ainsley: talk about obamacare. first phase was released on monday. the president gave a strong endorsement of repeal and replace obamacare. he supports it and he hopes it passes quickly. listen to what he said. >> i'm proud to support the replacement plan released by the you house of representatives. this will be a plan where you can choose your doctor. this will be a plan where you can choose your plan. you know what this the plan is this is the plan. and we will have a tremendous -- i think we have tremendous success. we have to remember obamacare is collapsing. and it's in bad shape. and we're going to take action. steve: and this is going to be the bill. i mean, there are a number of -- most democrats hate it. and a lot of republicans don't like it as well. and some conservative groups like club for growth. heritage action. tea party patriots and americans for prosperity don't like it. they would like it simply to
3:07 am
completely be repealed. however, the way congress works, they have got to do it in three phases. have you heard about these phases. the first one is the budget reconciliation thing with w. that you only need 51 votes in the senate. otherwise nothing would get done. phase ii look at all the regulations and change them at the secretary level. phase 3 is where they actually write new legislation. that is where buy it across state lines. i don't think they did a good job, i don't think, explaining it ahead of time. when people look at the bill yesterday they say well hey where is it can i buy it across state lines. that's coming out phase three. i thought it was going to be repeal. brian: also no, three parts. tort reform how effective it was in states like texas. can only sue for a certain amount there is a cap on it. causes doctors to raise their rates so high and more expensive to go see a doctor
3:08 am
because someone has to pay informs for those costs. personally i have no problem with someone introducing legislation and people being upset with it people want to make it better and people like it. that's the way things used to be. a lot of people jumping on what we're about to show you and saying the g.o.p. is coming apart. no, it's a real party where legitimate people who represent different districts disagree on a way forward but hopefully from here they work it out. listen. >> there are three plans out there. there is the kathy collins plan which is basically if you like obamacare you can keep obamacare. there is the leadership plan that was brought forward, which i believe when you look through it is obamacare in a different form. and then there is our plan. the one that i think is consistent with what we told the voters we were going to do. conservatives have a replacement plan. house leadership has a replacement plan. i'm sure democrats would like to go back and vote on the aca again. let's vote on clean repeal. the only way i think this gets
3:09 am
done is to separate the issues. >> what's been introduced in the house in the last 24 hours is not the obamacare real estate placement plan. are not the obamacare repeal plan we have been hoping for. this is instead a step in the wrong direction. as much as anything it's a missed opportunity. ainsley: a lot of people are upset about it freedom caucus there. republican us complaining about it it's got to be broken down into three phases. brian: his point and steve's point. steve: there are a lot of points. ainsley: going to go through three different phases. if you don't like something you are going to have an opportunity in congress to give your opinion and help fix it. now, obamacare, here are the facts. obamacare is not working. it is failing. the government cannot afford it. these insurance companies are pulling out. something has to be done. that might mean that some people are going to lose their entitlements. you might get 80% of coverage and you might have to pay 20% or something like that. the point of all these congressman are saying it's
3:10 am
give and take. yeah, we gave you entitlements, it's not working. it's too expensive. we can't afford it as a country. have to make choices. brian: going to take guts for republicans to do something they will don't normally do. point to the fact charles krauthammer and bret baier said last night new deal came out everyone too upset. too much government control. eisenhower becomes president and he leaves virtually everything in place. once you give something to somebody. ainsley: can't take it away. brian: politically suicidal to take it away. donald trump take he hears senator rand paul speak out. i feel sure my friend rand paul will come along with the new and great healthcare program because he knows obamacare is a disaster. i think senator rand paul has proven he is going to need to get some of his final input into the plan to go along with it. steve: this is a starting point. it's a negotiation. iifrepublicans join democrats
3:11 am
repeal. it's going to wind up tornadoing the rest of the g.o.p. agenda. including tax reform. are you going to run on that in two years? i don't think so. this is where they are starterring at this point. by the end of the process, i got a feeling it's not goings to look exactly like that. it's let's make a deal on capitol hill. although today they actually start the mark up which is when they actually write the bill out in long hand. ainsley: to brian's point, had you mentioned how they are going to get a chance -- they are going to be working together. this is how the process used to be. bridge it back to that. you will meet congressman jim jordan coming up. he has a problem with it can you is him. what would you like to ask him. brian: if you live with jim jordan wake him up. steve: how many people live with jim jordan. brian: he may live in a town house. he could live in a dorm, we don't know. abby huntsman. abby: brian in clothes every morning.

exposing spy games within the cia aimed at the american people, perhaps, in some cases. intel hacking capacity targeting iphones, an droids, smart tvs even once you turned them off. this is on the heals of the president wants explosive claims being wiretapped by president obama's white house. next guest says these allegations prove the former president's true agenda. here to explain charlie hurt. how does yesterday's sad revelations for our country's security play into what donald trump tweeted out as president on saturday? >> i think it reveals what a lot of people have known for some time that is that our -- you know, our ability -- the government's ability to spy on everybody at all times is sort of out-of-control and unchecked, which is why historically we have had very strict rules about how we go about doing this sort of thing in order to protect people's civil liberties and keep spying and in fact that's why we have the entire foreign
3:19 am
intelligence surveillance act in the first place. the fisa court. secret court set up that according to a report and this is what the president referenced according to a report for a couple of months ago granted permission to -- president obama's justice department to actually spy on trump tower. forget all of the allegations about russian collusion between the trump campaign and -- let's just -- even though they have never produced a scintilla of evidence that that happened. let's just argue for the sake of argument let's say this was legitimate. even if it was legitimate this is extraordinary thing, brian that happened. you have a sitting president, his department of justice spying on a political opponent in the middle of a presidential campaign. that is a huge, huge deal. and, again, maybe it all turns out to be perfectly justified and something nefarious was going on, but even if that's the case, this is an extraordinary, extraordinary
3:20 am
thing that has happened. brian: if angela merkel could -- we always have international furor because angela merkel says have you been spying on me. netanyahu transcripts by president obama. does the fbi really want to pursue it? >> yeah. and one of the things that i find most disheartening about it is the big argument that former presidents defenders uses is well the president would never do something like that. there are rules in place. all that kind of thing. well, you know, this is a -- president obama was somebody who politicized every aspect of the federal government. he turned the irs or allowed the irs to turn into a political weapon to go after political enemies. it's a whole new -- it's a brave new world today. it's terrifying. you can't -- this is why we have to have these things in place to keep these people under check.

steve: we have got a fox news alert for you right now. six people are dead and a million acres burned as wildfires rage across the southern plains. flames tearing through parties of oklahoma, kansas e colorado, and texas. fierce winds fueling some of the fires. plus, a dramatic desert takedown. watch this as armed robbery suspects learn the hard way you should never run from the cops because they are always going to get you. >> yep, here he goes. spinning him out right there. very dangerous situation.
3:25 am
is he going to get out and he is going to flee. he is not doing what he is told right now. try to evade police, he has a little bit there is he going to be tackled from behind. steve: he's down. the suspect out on parole as you heard back behind bars after evading police for more than an hour. but they got him. ainsley: happening today is a strike and organized by a convicted terrorist. it is called a day without a woman. encouraging women around our country to skip work today to wear red in solidarity and avoid spending any money. don't buy anything unless it is from a small woman's minority owned business. as a result, some schools are now shutting their doors. they are saying no school today because we don't have female teachers to come in and teach. is this strike sending the right message? here to discuss is radiologist a female doctor dr. nicole is a fire. >> does that mean can you shop
3:26 am
at women owned businesses does that mean we shop from ivanka today? ainsley: good point. maybe. so what do you think about this? are you going to work today. >> yes. as soon as i leave here i will go straight to work. international women's day is an amazing cause. women unifying across the world coming together for causes and issues specific for their country it is amazing thing and a lot gets done in these countries from iceland to afghanistan very different causes coming together unified. what's going on here in the united states ask a little bit different. it's our day without a woman is organized by the same people as the women's march. and although it's talking about women and coming together as a woman really if you read their unity principles it's more along the democratic agenda. if we call it a democratic women's day that's more appropriate. ainsley: four different school districts taking part in this. some of the teachers at these schools says we are not coming to work.
3:27 am
by law x amount of teachers for north carolina, virginia and new york. look at the numbers. women who can't send their kids to the school in these districts they are not having to stay at home to lose a whole day's salary and some of these women have to put their kids in day care or pay for babysitters it hurts women in a long run. >> some will have to tack on another day to make up this day. we do have gender discrimination in the united states. we have unequal pay and we have under representation on academic boards and administrative levels. so let's come together and talk about those issues. that's not what we're doing. having some teachers stay home and other people stay home, we are not actually coming together on a cause that women can all fight for together. my concern is we are not going to have a huge end results today. ainsley: by saying don't shop todashop -- does anyone doubt
3:28 am
that? >> we need to be recognized as women. i think everyone wants -- does feel that way. again, the agenda behind the women's march, the day without a woman, i think we're muddying the waters. we're not necessarily talking about women's issues. we are talking more partisan issues. ainsley: good deal. thank you some dr. saphier for being with us. congressman jason chaffetz is under fire for saying this. >> they have got to make a choice. so maybe rather than getting that new iphone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on that. maybe they should invest in their own healthcare. ainsley: former president said the same thing. i wonder which one. we will tell you. surprising kids first white house tour since the inauguration. that wasn't the only surprise. don't miss carlie shimkus with what's trending now. that's next. ♪ why do i always feel ♪ like i'm in the twilight zone ♪ i always feel like somebody's watching me ♪ and i have no privacy ♪ oh, oh, oh

but in an interesting twist that sweet moment played out. can you see it in the left hand side of the screen? steve: yes. just saw her a moment ago. hillary clinton is making a cameo. >> official portrait of hillary clinton is where that moment played out. so a lot of people saying it looked like she was photo bombing that moment. steve: do you know why that played out right there. that screen right there is next to the elevator that comes up and down. >> it was not happy mistake. brian: tour group with kids. >> bunch of fifth graders. the one he pulled up was 10-year-old. brian: jack. >> yes jack. what a special moment for him to remember. ainsley: they are not just clapping they are screaming like red carpet moment. >> one direction. who needs one direction when can you have the president. steve: that's steve doocy. ruby tuesday. so anyway there is jack.

just love and want to go spend hundreds of dollars on that. maybe they should invest in their own health care. abby: where was the outrage when president obama said the same thing three years ago? listen. >> look at that person's budget and looked at their cable bill, their telephone -- their cell phone bill, other things that they're spending on it, may turn out that it's just they haven't prioritized health care because right now everybody is healthy. abby: former president went on to say nobody wants to spend money on health insurance until they get sick. also in this morning, liberals tried protesting ivanka trump by dumping her brand but their boycott just fired big time. according to the president of the fashion brand, just the beginning of february the company recorded some of the best performing weeks in their history. one website reportedly seeing 346% sales jump soon after the inauguration. several stores like nordstrom dropped the ivanka brand but apparently guys, the women have spoken.

obama laid out in 2008 in that it is incrementalist. is he focused on reducing american exposure overseas and treating terrorism through kind of death of a thousand cuts. this travel ban doesn't -- it's not going to stop every terrorist attack. but as one tool in the toolbox, it can help manage the problem which is a little bit how president obama addressed the terrorism problem throughout the course of his presidency. steve: sure. and you wrote in the new york daily news in an op-ed yesterday that the last two presidents we had, president obama you said incrementally took on counter terrorism whereas george bush had the big picture, didn't he? >> absolutely. i mean bush was the last president who said biggest problem of my day is counter terrorism. this is why i have a bust of winston churchill in my office. there will be no price america won't pay to defeat this enemy, right? but both obama and trump were harshly critical during their campaigns of the nation building strategy bush employed to address counter terrorism. steve: sure. you know, andrew, there are a

number of people on the political left who say, look, they can say it's not really -- this is another muslim ban. muslim ban 2.0. you are very clear. it was not. >> absolutely not. it's foolish to say that and frankly give to our enemies to build up how the anti-islam this ban is the fact is 15 years into the war on terror. if we are not at the point to being able to temporarily suspend visas from. so most terrorism racked nations of the world. we sass country have a problem with how to address this issue. steve: let's talk about this. wikileaks yesterday released vault 7 as they called it, this gigantic document dump that shows essentially how while we think that our telephones, our cell phones are encrypted and software so no one can get into them. spies can get into those. they can get into your division because there are cameras on it they can get into your home computers.
3:47 am
even take over control of your car. now, you know, everybody knows what the cia can do. >> absolutely. and the worst part of this disclosure is that it's not even -- there is not even a public service that really it supports. you know, when edward snowden revealed that the nsa was tracking who we called on our cell phones that engendered kind of a necessary debate about privacy vs. security. most americans know the intelligence community is trying to crack these electronic devices. the fact that now we know how they are trying to do it is really only useful forever our enemies. steve: sure, i mean, i read 100 pages of it yesterday and it's interesting. it says that the cia essentially has an army of 5,000 hackers awful across the globe trying to figure out how to get into people's smart phones and how to get around apple's encryption and stuff like that. at the same time, if the cia can get into it.
3:48 am
other countries can get into it as well. there is the peril right. >> there absolutely. frankly, i thought the best p.r. that came out of that disclosure is that cia has 1,000 hackers alone dedicated to hacking apple products. so if i'm apple i'm feeling pretty good about that frankly. my encryption is amazing. frankly overall it's a concern. it gives help to our enemies but apple comes out on top. steve: just one last note. it's important to note that this involves the cia's hacking ability. nonot nsa. >> legally nsa has the mandate for wiretaps communications. that's its main job. c.i.a.'s' mandate is human intelligence. only saving grace to this disclosure is that it didn't disclose all of the nsa's tools which would have been far far more than the c.i.a.'s for whom this is more of a second dear mission. steve: good explanation.

cell phones, that engendered kind of a necessary debate about privacy vs. security. most americans, as you pound out, know the intelligence community is trying to crack these electronic devices. and so the fact that now we know how they are trying to do it is really only useful for our enemies. the only saving grace of this disclosure is that it didn't disclose all of the nsa's tools which would have been far, far more than the cia's for mom this is a secondary mission. steve: first batch is called vault 7. >> it's justth first of a number. something like 7800 different pages it has 947 attachments, little links. i was warned yesterday by somebody down in michigan if you click on one of those links it's a possibility that they will end up installing malware on your smart phone so don't click on the link. i don't know if that's the true. brian: by the way if you do get email say in nigeria

4:06 am
action. steve: whether a is the action the republican plan gets rid of penalties for businesses and individuals. that's great. you don't have to buy insurance if you don't want to. it defunds planned parenthood. and then for people who can't afford it, it winds up giving them tax credits. they used to call them tax subsidies. it's just a word thing. and some republicans, conservative republicans say, look, it's still an entitlement and we're going to have to vote against it of course, this is round 1. this is how negotiations start. they say that now. what are they going to say down the pike. >> the texas chairman kevin brady of ways and means is firmly behind it. he is one of the authors of it paul ryan is also a conservative's conservative for the most part. and he is for it a lot of people are against it including our guest in 10 minutes. and that is from the freedom caucus illinois -- excuse me ohio congressman jim jordan will be with us shortly. here is health and human services secretary dr. tom price. on why the thing works.

4:17 am
say we are going to repeal obamacare but keep some of the obamacare taxes which is in the leadership plan. we didn't say we would repeal obamacare but extend and expand the medicaid expansion and we didn't certainly say we were going to repeal obamacare but also start a new entitlements which is what this legislation does. what we are introducing today is consistent with what we told the voters we were going to do. and frankly what i think they expect us to do. and that is a clean repeal. just repeal obamacare. pass the exact same thing that every single republican 15 months ago in the congress voted for. put that same legislation on president trump's desk, the same thing we put on president obama's desk. brian: not only do you not like what's in it, he ledge legislatively. you don't have close to 60 votes yet. even though trump won in districts. having said that looking practically. i want this to execute i'm going to have to give you this in order to get the 51 simple majority.
4:18 am
he doesn't want a clean repeal and replace because it would mean 60 votes in the senate. and he doesn't think he can get it. >> you can do clean repeal with 51 votes in this process called reconciliation. clean repeal the same thing we passed 15 months ago. you can do that some the replacement you are right will take to allow interstate shopping for insurance to do what needs to be done on health savings accounts. to actually make it easier for health association health plans to form. some of those things and regulations that need to go as well, that has to be done with the 60 vote hurdle in the senate which is obviously a little tougher because you need 8 democrats to see the light and do the right thing. i get that. but, that's what we told the voters we were going to do. clean repeal and then replace it with a model that empowers families and one that i actually think and this should be the focus. brings down the cost of premiums. that's what people in the end care about. working class families, middle class families care about the price of their premiums and deductibles and right now they are going through the roof under obamacare. brian: they are.
4:19 am
you believe if paul ryan the speaker put forward passes it will be the same thing just moving chess pieces around on the same board? >> no, no, no. my read of what was brought forward yesterday by the leadership, i don't think it's going to bring down the cost of insurance. i don't think it's going to bring back affordable insurance. because we still have regulation concerns that are out there. we still have to implement some of the things we just talked about purchase across state line, association plans, that sort of things. those have to happen. let's start with what we all agree on. what unites republicans. clean repeal. get rid of obamacare like we told the voters we were going to do. brian: right. so, k78, how about this? if they are not going to do clean repeal and clean replace, can you get in there and get your hands dirty on what they have now? or are you just going to walk away from it? >> no, no, no. this is the way it works. this is american democracy. this is how it works. the bill was just introduced a little over not even evan 48 hours ago. the american people would like to see it they would like to know what's in it. they want a debate. that's what they expect. that's how hour system works.
4:20 am
we are going to provide that and go into this and make this bill better if we can right now where it is. it's not what we told the voters we were going to do and i don't think it's going to bring down the cost of insurance which has got to be our goal. brian: i only have 25 seconds left. i heard this just the first phase. can you put that in layman's terms? >> there are things that dr. price can do that can be helpful on the regulatory side of this issue. and there are things that need 60 votes which is the third phase that the speaker talked about. but let's do what makes sense, what we told the voters and what they expect us to do. repeal it first and that sort of puts the premium on getting things done then. brian: right. >> getting the replacement passed that will help the situation. let's focus on that. brian: the president's leadership could be and usually is invaluable in a situation like that from your own party. >> sure. brian: congressman, great to see you. thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: straight ahead. now that the plan to replace obamacare is out in the open, will it actually work. dr. marc siegel is here.

>> i'm proud to support the replacement plan released by the house of representatives and encouraged by members of both parties. this will be a plan where you can choose your doctor. this will be a plan where you can choose your plan. and you know what the plan is, this is the plan. and we're going to have a tremendous, i think we're going to have a tremendous success. we have to remember obamacare is collapsing. and it's in bad shape. and we're going to take action. >> well now that the republican party obamacare replacement plan is public, we wanted to know does it make the grade for all of us. here for another doctor debate we have fox news medical a team dr. marc siegel screen left and obamacare architect and fox news contributor dr. emanuel ezekiel. dr. emanuel, currently he said obamacare is collapsing.
4:33 am
would you agree with that? >> no. i think there is some uncertainty out there created in the market created largely by the republicans as to whether they are going to sure up the exchanges and do the things necessary. remember, the main reason why there was some uncertainty has to do with taking away the reinsurance program by the republicans that created uncertainty. you also need to, i agree with this, encourage young people to get into the insurance market and buy insurance. by the way. >, getting rid of themandate ise courage young people to buy zhoozh and alternative they have is not going to encourage them anymore. steve: he says encourage people to get insurance which is good but under obamacare they were forced to. >> wait, wait, wait. subsidies encourage people to get insurance. you pay most of the premium. >> steve, the mandate. let's start with that i don't believe as a practicing internist that you can mandate that people buy insurance when insurance is not healthcare. have you insurance but may not be able to get the care you need.
4:34 am
especially if the policy has a high deductible like 12 or 13,000 on a bronze plan and high premiums. the reason obamacare is failing the premiums are too high and deductibles are too high. if we can change the system so the premiums are lower and encourage people to buy insurance with tax credits, i'm actually okay with that the problem with the repeal bill though is that it doesn't get rid of the essential benefits. >> marks, mark, mark. >> let me finish. the essentially benefits we talked about last time. where a young person is paying to service they don't need. those are still. in the tax credits are a way of sucking you into a system getting something you don't need. >> let's make two points really clear about this proposal. point number one, it keeps the essential health benefits for the exchanges. it does not get rid of them. point number two is that the tax credits that the republicans are giving are actually lower than the subsidies people get under obamacare which means their premiums will be higher or their deductibles will be higher. there is no other way of squaring the circle. if you give less subsidy to
4:35 am
people to buy insurance. either pay a higher presume yum or get higher deductibles. this plan doesn't answer your criticisms of obamacare. >> i agree with that point. i think essential benefits have to go. catastrophic policy, steve. people should have the option to buy what's useful for them. we will bring in health savings accounts. >> let's taum counsel. and have a rational discussion. >> let me finish my point. >> i asked you last time what essential benefit were you going to remove and you didn't mention one. >> no i did mention one. >> which one? >> the main point -- i talked about maternity coverage not everybody paying for that here is the main point. >> but then. steve: one at a time. >> here is the maintain point i want to make i'm not against government providing mammograms or vaccines. the problem is sneaking in having somebody pay for it that doesn't need it. let the government either provide free clinics or give money to insurance companies to pay for the person who needs the mammogram.
4:36 am
i don't want a 30-year-old woman who is never going to have kids paying for maternity coverage. >> let's discuss that. if you say maternity coverage is not part of insurance, then you are basically saying women who have babies you have to pay the full price which is about $15,000. that is not insurance. that's just called pay for what you get. that's not insurance. >> that's choice. >> no insurance is spreading the risk over everybody. we all benefit by the way if a woman has good prenatal care and a good delivery there are fewer billion-dollar. i thought we were going to give chances for me to finish my comment. if you have good prenatal care and give women insurance and go to the doctor get a good delivery fewer-million-dollar babies in neonatal units. having good care is something that we all get a benefit from. we all should support that. >> if the government believes that a certain group needs a certain care for public health reasons, they should provide
4:37 am
it we don't need grannie grannin iowa paying for std screenings in new york. >> excuse me, i don't know if you know the latest data but a lot of seniors have stds it just happens to be true. steve: picking on iowa. >> i want catastrophic. we all agree people who go to emergency rooms should have coverage. everybody agrees vaccines should be covered. everybody agrees hospitalization should be covered. >> what about drugs. >> essential drugs. >> have you listed the 10 essential benefits, mark. the only thing you don't like is maternity care. you are discriminating against women. you just. >> covering too much. steve: both of you guys. the president of the united states when he was running said regarding replacement plan for obamacare he said everybody is going to be covered. now, given what we have seen so far, is everybody going to be covered? >> the s&p did an independent investigation that's standard and pours did an independent evaluation. they are estimating 10 million
4:38 am
people are going to lose coverage by new proposal. there are ways to get universal conch. i will give you one that i think mark and i might agree on which is have you a government auto enrollment into a catastrophic plan. >> that's true. >> with not just catastrophic but with three visits to a primary care doctor and prevention covered. few that auto enrollment, everybody gets it. steve: talking about where the government is in charge. >> no, no. not in charge. forget the in charge. like medicare part a. steve: for everybody. >> everyone in the system. because we believe in catastrophic coverage. mark agreed with me. we believe in primary care, three primary care visits and prevention. that will get more people covered. and then you can save money by negotiating with the drug companies. >> one caveat there. i don't disagree with that and i also guy theway. >> sounds like you agree with me, excellent. >> i agree medicaid expansion should be preserved. that's for another debate. listen, what i wants to say really importantly at the end here is we don't have the primary care doctors to take care of any of these patients
4:39 am
or to take care of this insurance premium. this insurance expansion we have a shortage of primary care doctors. we are not paying them enough an incentivizing. we don't have enough nurses or nurse practitioners. we put the cart before the horse. we should have started off with more doctors. >> we actually agree a lot here. medicaid expansion should stay. >> managing it. >> medicaid expansion should stay and we should have a coverage -- a system where everyone is defaulted into catastrophic coverage. steve: bad news for you right now doesn't sound like that's what's going to happen. >> we might move to it. >> high risk pools in the state. >> they are ver very ininitiate. steve: doctors, thank you. what do you think about that? friends@foxnews.com. dr. siegel gives the new plan a b and dr. emanuel gives it a d. >> sounds like great inflation to me.

brian: all right delaware democratic senator chris coons walking back comments he made last week suggesting the government has ties to russia. >> there are transcripts that provide very helpful critical insights into whether or not russian intelligence and senior russian political leaders, including vladimir putin were cooperating were colluding with the trump campaign at the highest levels to influence the outcome of our election. >> to the extent those comments that you just replayed might in some way be misinterpreted as leading to a sort of hyperventilating attitude here in the senate about this, i apologize for that. that's not what i was trying to do. brian: so where does the investigation go from here? senator chris coons is going to be in middle of that he joins us now. always good to see you. >> thanks, brian, always good to be on with you.
4:45 am
brian: what can you tell us new about the investigation two days in. >> first this week the senate intelligence committee is getting access to the raw intelligence and transcripts of those intercepts that i was referring to last friday. and if you just listen closely to the clip you just played, it makes clear what i was saying that there is intelligence that will provide insight into whether or not there was some collusion between senior elements of the trump campaign and trump administration and russian intelligence and russian officials. what i was trying to point to there, brian, was that we need to get to the bottom of this. this isn't about partisan politics. it's about defending our democracy. we had a hearing yesterday on the state and foreign subcommittee of appropriations. a subcommittee critically responsible for our support for our nato allies and democracy in western europe. we have a joint republican and democrat speech on the floor later today about the importance of pushing back against russian aggression. brian: i know you get sophisticated intelligence as
4:46 am
opposed to meet the press. on meet the press the former national intelligence director said when he left office on january 20th no collusion between the trump camp and returandrussia. >> that's one important's perspective. what i said on friday and what i will say again today is that we need to get to the bottom of this. we need a thorough, fair, straightforward investigation where we get a report back in congress about what republicans and democrats on the intelligence committee have found after they have had a chance to review all the evidence. brian: senator tom cotton, your colleague, the republican side said this. >> the main consumer of intelligence from the intelligence service was is the white house and specifically the national security counsel. so have you many partisan democrats who are receiving this information and i think it's a good chance you might want to look to some of those partisan democrats who left office on january 20th and now
4:47 am
being identified as former u.s. officials if you want to know where some of these leaks are coming from. brian: a lot of that goes back to what the president tweeted out roughly on saturday and what robby mook told us yesterday former campaign manager for hillary clinton they were hearing about hearing intercepts and reading transcripts members of the trump camp as well as russian officials to some level. >> well, i think it's inaccurate to say that the national security council is filled with partisans. i have think the national security council has proven itself over several descrations to be overwhelmingly full of career professionals who are providing the best support and analysis they can to the president. i also would just point out there are several different sources of i fbi, the nsa, the cia and several others. one of the things that's undeniable here, brian, is that the entire american intelligence community concluded that rushing shah did interfere in our last election. and i think it's in the best interest of our democracy to make sure that we take this seriously and that we take prompt action on a bipartisan
4:48 am
basis against that intrusion into our election. brian: if you sense that democrats are making this a partisan effort or an attack on trump, will you come back on every outlet and say so? >> if i think this has turned into nothing more than a witch-hunt and there is no basis in reality for it, that is the position i take. brian, you know me. brian: yep. >> i also think there shouldn't be a coverup. in the best interest of our country we need to get to the bottom of this. that's why i was encouraged yesterday the man number two in the justice department who now that attorney general sessions has recused himself will take over the direction of this did say that he will insist on a free and fair investigation. brian: and his track record reflects just that senator coons, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. brian: meanwhile straight ahead you know her as win any cooper from the wonder years. >> maybe we could do something tomorrow. i mean, if you want. >> yeah. i mean, sure. if you want. brian: don't you just want to

5:03 am
i think this is more of a twist of the screwdriver and tap of the hammer than demolition of the previous plan and something new. the biggest thing i wish the president, maybe i should say the biggest thing congress had done, because this is their plan, they need to block grant medicaid back to the states. this is something governors are begging for. every governor, democrat and republican for over 25 years, give us less money and more flexibility and cover everybody because we'll tailor our operations. congress wants to keep control. until we devolve the power of health care out of washington and put it back into the hands of people, closer to the patients we'll not get the results that we're looking for. that is my disappointment here. ainsley: governor, there are other republicans disappointed not happy. brian was interviewing congressman jim jordan who is
5:04 am
part of the freedom caucus. he said this is obamacare in different form he and other individuals feel. this is part of brian's interview. we'll get your reaction. >> my view of what was brought forward by the leadership i don't think it will bring down the cost of insurance. i don't think it will bring back affordable insurance. we have regulations concerns out there. we have to implement some of the things we talked about, purchasing across state lines, associations plans, those sort of thing. let's start what we agree on, clean repeal. get rid of obamacare like we told voters we were going to do. ainsley: it has to be affordable. the reason we need to change this, repeal and replace because it is so expensive. premiums are through the roof. is he accurate saying it will not be affordable? >> well look, first of all, let's be honest. health care will not get cheaper. one. reasons it isn't, we live longer but we are unhealthy as we live older. cost of technologies and emerging pharmaceuticals, health care will not got less expensive
5:05 am
until we focus on curing and preventing disease. all we're doing with our health care plans treating diseases after they're catastrophic. it will never get fixed until we put a focus on a different paradigm, prevention and cures. that something many of us have been saying for a long time. there are still problems, and this is cost shifting. cadillac tax still in there. why do you penalize people for getting really good headlight care plan. that is what this plan does of the it is not horrible but not nearly as good as it could and should be. i hope this is only a start and not the finish line. steve: we have a former businessman as the negotiator in chief. this is probably the opening salvo. although we heard it will be this bill. nonetheless, you know, governor, this is ultimately a win for the republicans who do, they're going to be able to go to their constituents in two years if it perfect but we ran on repeal and replace.
5:06 am
we have repealed and replaced it. >> americans don't care about the rhetoric of repeal and replace. what they want to know can they afford it and does it cover things they care about. i'm a 61-year-old man, i don't need maternity benefits but i've got them. do i need them? if i have a baby it is medical miracle. i will have a reality show and i will have plenty of money. let me buy what i need and focused on unique area which you live. people living in a rural part of arkansas, 50 miles from a doctor and hospital have different needs than people living in suburban boston. brian: absolutely. i don't know happened to them. i thought that was a layup. you heard ezekiel manuel with steve earler. look, if you get maternity leave to somebody can't afford it, pay in for them to do it, ultimately you will get paid back because the person will have quality headlight care, that is not a burden on system.
5:07 am
that is social -- i care about people but shows a social listtic mind set, doesn't it? >> it may be. there is one thing to say, painful to ever agree with ezekiel manuel, on this front, if you provide prenatal care it is less expensive to provide prenatal care for thousands of people than it is to have one issue in a into he owe natal icu unit that will cost far more than if you had covered thousands of women with prenatal care. i go back to my point. focus on prevention. focus on cures. not on treatment after things get so expensive nobody can afford it and that's what our entire medical system is based on. >> we'll see what happens. today they start marking up the bill which means writing it. i don't know where you're sitting down in florida. if you have a samsung television, governor, in your house, there is a possibility we now know that hackers through

has to stop. i hope this president will do it. brian: cia spent be spying domestically. talking about what they're doing overseas and methods and ways and means exposed on what we do. ainsley: in the hands of other countries. brian: this is devastating. andrew peek joined us, former intel officer. he says this is going to really hurt. >> the worst part of this disclosure is that it's not even, there is not even a public service that it really it supports. you know, when edward snowden revealed the nsa was tracking who we called on our cell phones, that enagain dered a necessary debate about privacy versus security. most americans as you point out know the intelligence community is trying to crack these electronic devices. so the fact now we know how they're trying to do it is really only useful for our enemies. the only saving grace of this disclosure it didn't disclose all the nsa's tools which would
5:10 am
have been far, more than the cia with whom this is sort of a secondary mission. steve: at the same time the news comes out that the president of the united states may or may not have been wiretapped over at trump tower when he was running for president. >> i think it is pretty evident that somebody was wiretapped. general michael flynn, a good and honorable man had his calls being monitored at trump tower, what resulted ultimately in his dismissal not being forthcoming with it. the russian ambassador visited the white house 22 times. people seem less upset when they talked about in person than the fact maybe donald trump or somebody, he didn't have a conversation with the russian ambassador but maybe somebody on his staff did. he wasn't even president at the time. his staff members were not government officials. i do think it is problematic if u.s. intelligence agencies are spying on half that conversation happening with the right citizen. that ought to scare the daylight out of every. it's wrong. ainsley: what if they're able to catch suspected terrorists by
5:11 am
doing this. >> i think we just going to have to sy we'll catch terrorists by the old-fashioned way of poodle against gathering done real legally. when we do things illegally unconstitutionally, i'm sorry, i don't think you justify saying well, we might catch a terrorist. but you might end up worrying the very republic upon which we were built and constitutional authority to keep a check and balance of our government. when our government is out of control we've lost what we're trying to protect. what are we being saved from? we have to keep that in mind. brian: governor, thanks so much. governor mike huckabee. appreciate it. >> thank you. ainsley: abby has more headlines for us. hey, abby. >> good morning to everyone watching us. we'll start with a fox news alert. at least six people are dead and a million acres burned as wildfires rage across the southern plains tearing through parts of oklahoma, kansas, colorado and texas, including here in higgins in the state's panhandle.

5:33 am
gone. $700 billion of subsidies the government can never afford, gone. we repeal the affordable care act in a big way. it is gone but more importantly, we start two big principles for conservatives. one, we restore state control of health care, so community and families could be in control. we restore the free market. these are big steps going forward. these are conservative ideas. i can tell you, as president trump said, this is his plan. no more excuses. no more fiddling around. today in the ways and means committee after seven long years of fighting and working and waiting, today, we begin the repeal of obamacare. brian: chairman, i'll tell you, i am about to play a sound bite of jim jordan who is a friend of yours but disagrees on this he want ad clean repeal and total replace and work hard, it will pass the house and work hard to get 60 vote in the senate. would that have been indeed possible? >> i don't think so.
5:34 am
have you seen senate republicans deliver 60 votes, democrat votes for repealing obamacare or replacing it? truth we have champions and warriors on senate republicans, they're fighting like nobody's business. no one shows democrat support for repeal and replace. this is the moment to do both. let's stop talking. let's act. ainsley: chairman tom price says he will do it in three different phases. is there room for the freedom caucus to hear changes and they want to make? >> absolutely. these are great ideas this is only the first step. plenty of opportunity to move these forward. i would say this. these are my fellow conservatives they have great ideas. our opponent are not conservative friends. proponent of obamacare, nancy pelosi and others. obamacare is collapsing and it is hurting so many americans.
5:35 am
we'll stay focused on that. brian: let's listen to jim jordan. i will let you respond directly to him. >> i think this bill has real problems. and i would say, when we told the voters we were going to repeal obamacare, we didn't say we would repeal obamacare you but keep some obamacare taxes which is in the leadership plan. we didn't say we would repeal obamacare but extend and expand the medicaid expansion. we didn't say we would repeal obamacare and also start a new entitlement which is what this legislation does. what we're introducing today is consistent with what we told the voters we were going to do and frankly what they expect us to do and that is a clean repeal. just repeal obamacare. pass the exact same thing that every single republican, 15 month ago in the congress voted for. put that same legislation on president trump's desk. same thing we put on president obama's desk. ainsley: but if you do that, if you just repeal and you don't replace, what happens to all those people that were on obamacare and they don't have something, they won't have insurance anymore, right?
5:36 am
>> just as importantly, how long will it take before there is democrat support for restoring state control and restoring the free market? i don't think that is going to happen by anyone's imagination. the bill, i love jim jordan he is a good friend, but that bill has huge problems. three new big spending programs. huge budget buster. and relies upon chuck schumer and others to support it. i don't think that is going to happen. steve: sure. chairman i was looking at twitter. laura ingraham tweeted out under your plan illegals can actually get the tax credit. >> that is absolutely not the case. we tightened this down to exactly what republicans passed in welfare reform. there are very tight restrictions here. look, i think we're at a point where everyone has their idea of what they would like to do but in truth, this trump plan works to repeal and lee place. time to stop talking. let's act. brian: couple rapid fire

questions for you. what about block grants to state? >> it is firmly to return stayed control of medicate. caps for first time in history. gives us huge savings. very important. brian: what about malpractice insurance reform in texas for doctors? >> it really worked there. that will be in future bill because the senate rules don't allow us to include it. brian: lastly, going across state lines, it is not inn there yet. >> not yet. that will be step two and three. we're getting around the democrat filibuster in the senate. so this can go to the president's desk. we can't put everything we dream of in this you but those are critical elements going forward. steve: this is the best bill that can pass on the first step? >> the first step, the best and most important step to repeal and begin state and patient control. ainsley: if you don't want it not penalized. thanks, chairman, for being with us. >> thank you. steve: it is 22 minutes before the top. hour. abby has got some news. >> good morning, guys.

5:46 am
documents lay out that the tv could be turned off and yet they still can be recording conversations in your living room. and so, i think the broader stakes here are, think about just a few days ago, where this story was with president trump and all these experts have been on fox and elsewhere saying, well, this is crazy. you have to get a fisa order. you have got to go to this court. all that is true. it has to be a federal judge that has to approve this. meanwhile we have thousands of pages of documents saying hold on a second, intelligence community can, not that they did with trump couple or you and i, but they can tap into your iphone, tap into whatsapp, some of these messaging services. steve: in your car. >> they can mess with the car if it is connected to the internet. if those capabilities are there are they going into a fisa court to tap into someone's samsung tv? doubt it. ainsley: even if your phone is turned off they can tap into it. mike huckabee was on a while
