senator, it has been a long hour. you waited for us. thank you for joining us. very good to see you, sir. >> always good to be with you. i was listening with great interest. >> sandra: i'm sandra >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast. 3:00 in d.c. where there's a twist now to what president trump calls a new and great plan to replace obamacare. some republican senators are offering yet another option. they would let states keep obamacare if they want. i'll speak live with the lead author of the legislation, the louisiana republican senator bill cassidy. and don't worry. cia? the fbi has your back. the bureau launching a man hunt to find the mole that leaked secret c.i.a. hacking techniques. breaking today, new word of a criminal investigation. and the first legal challenge to president trump's latest immigration ban. breaking now, hawaii is fighting back against the feds.

we'll explain both sides of the argument. let's get to it! good wednesday afternoon from the fox news desk. the gop starkly divided over trumpcare. the president is all in. president trump putting his weight behind the gop plan to replace obamacare. the white house promising what it calls a full-court press on this plan as objections from the party's conservatives and some centrists continue to mount. on capitol hill, two panelists working on getting trumpcare off the ground. on one side, the energy and commerce committee. the other, ways and means committee. these are known as markup sessions. lawmakers go through the proposed legislation line by line offering changes and amendments. what comes out of those sessions is the new bill. we can expect these to last for hours, potentially well into the

night and tomorrow. it's a long process and this is just the beginning, if that. one thing is certain. team trump and gop leaders have a lot of work to do if they want the current version of this bill to see the light of day ever. president trump is said to talk health care with leaders later tonight. the white house has not said who will be there. the president has promised to reach out to lawmakers that oppose the bill, including rand paul. he called it dead on arrival. president trump sent out a tweet a few hours later. he said i'm sure my friend rand paul will come along with the new and a great healthcare program because he knows obamacare is a disaster. senator paul is not budging. he said he told president trump that conservatives all agree on repealing but far apart when it comes to replacing. >> what's going on behind the scenes is the charm offensive.

every conservative that's come out opposed to this has been called by the white house and is babying -- is being cajoled to give in. if we stick together, we will have a force and negotiation and talk about clean repeal versus replacement if we stick together. they don't have the numbers to pass this at this point. >> senator paul and jim jordan, a member of the ultra conservative house freedom caucus say they plan a repeal only option. trumpcare as it stands is not what republicans have been promising constituents. that's not the only other option in the works. later in this hour, i'll be speaking with a republican lawmaker that is pushing another plan. one that will let states keep obamacare if they want. add to this, a number of groups that have come out against the house proposal. among them, the cooke brothers,

americans for prosperity. the white house is pushing back. sean spicer says there's been tremendous support with conservative lawmakers and groups and he says the white house is staying true to the party's values. >> we talk so often on the con superintendentive side and the republican said about the importance of entrepreneurship. those are the ones that suffer with an inequity in the tax system. i think by levelling that playing field and by giving them more options and driving down costs, we're actually doing a very conservative thing here. >> the conservative thing or obamacare-light as people put it. they're hammering the bill right now before the congressional budget office is projected how much it will cost and no idea how many will lose coverage. john roberts is live on the north lawn. the white house still says this will get done. >> they're saying they're going to get this passed, shep. you can find a lot of support for this on capitol hill.

as you pointed out, there's a lot of opposition as the member wing of the republican party will be here tonight, 5:00. they're going to get some arm twisting. gentle, maybe tougher from the president tonight. because he's in, according to sean spicer that just finished his briefing "full cell mode" trying to get this thing through. he's going to go across the country in the days and weeks ahead to sell it to folks in the middle part of america where his base of support was to win the election on november 8. according to kellyanne conway, there could be room for compromise here, but only a little bit. listen to this. >> the president has made it clear as the vice president, this is the plan. but the president has used the word "negotiation." there's a process at play here. it's called reconciliation. everybody knows as this american healthcare act makes its way through the normal channels, it probably will be changed somewhat. >> changed somewhat, but to what degree, we don't know at this

point. the press secretary was asked if there was any red lines, if you will, that the president had in terms of this bill. he wouldn't articulate any, but one of the things that has raised a lot of opposition among conservatives is this idea of swapping out the obamacare subsidy with a tax credit. they're saying that is nothing more than an entitlement by a different name. they're opposed to it. without the tax credit, there's no way for people in the lower income brackets to afford health insurance. shep? >> shepard: some trade groups have come out against the plan. what is the response on that? >> the aarp has come out against it as has the american medical association, a number of other medical associations. but sean spicer said those are a bunch of special interest groups. all of these associations don't really represent the relationship between a doctor and a patient and that the president really isn't going to take into consideration their concerns, at least not over the concerns of patients. here's what he said earlier.

>> if you want to line up how many special interests got paid off last time versus now, they'll win hands down. this isn't about trying to figure out how many special interests in washington we can get paid off. it's about making sure that patients get the best deal. >> so what the white house plans to do is to apply the politics of popular pressure against these associations and say, this is what people across america are looking for. the associations better tow the line here. we'll see if that strategy works, shep. >> shepard: john, thanks. the two committees on the hill are working on this right now. mike emanuel covers the hill for us. he lives there. fireworks in the committee meetings, huh? >> that's right, shep. there's been fireworks between republicans and democrats here in the committee meeting. democrats are accusing the republicans of rushing it through and not waiting on the

congressional office for their study. >> i want to postpone the markup for 30 days. i don't understand why that is not in order at this time. >> a motion to table is not debatable. under our rules. i know you care deeply about following our rules. >> mr. chairman, you're trying to rush this bill. you're not allowing for debate and if this process continues all day long, it's going to be a very unfortunate circumstance. we'll be here all night for several days. >> mick mulvaney says the analysis will perhaps common. sean spicer said the congressional budget office has been wrong before on healthcare, shep. >> shepard: so that's disagreements between republicans and democrats. what about within the republican party? >> some conservatives just want to repeal obamacare. paul ryan is in full cell mode. he says they'll keep their prop misses to the american people.

however, some conservatives are still skeptical. >> we're dealing with coverage and nothing with cost containment, price reduction healthcare, right? we're designing a system that won't lower costs. that's the big deal. >> then you have other republicans closer to the white house that say the stakes here are incredibly high. >> if the republican conference doesn't pass this, our whole agenda goes down the tubes. we don't do tax reform. we have to get obamacare repealed and replaced before tax reform. >> many republicans are applauding news from the white house that the president's in full cell mode. they say that is important to get this across the finish line. >> shepard: but the votes are not there. mike emanuel on capitol hill. another plan being introduced by a republican senator from louisiana. we'll have details of that when he joins us live in just a moment. the president has not answered questions about claims that president obama order

wiretapping of the trump tower during elections. there's been no information at all, none, that suggested that president trump is right on this. the white house is calling for an investigation. two senators, one republican, one democrat sent a letter to the head of the fbi for specific information on his accusation. the director according to multiple records has said obama did not authorize any wiretaps and the director has asked the justice department to refute president trump's claim. fox news' catherine herridge has announced the feds are announcing an investigation into wikileaks after they claim to have published thousands of documents on the c.i.a.'s hacking techniques. the c.i.a. has the ability now to hack your smart phone no matter what kind of it is, hack your computer, hack into your television set, the one you're watching right now potentially and even hack into your vehicle. wikileaks claims this is just the beginning of what they call

the largest publication of c.i.a. documents ever and analysts are comparing it to edward snowden's release of the national security agencies files in 2013. james comey spoke out about the effect of that leak in a cyber security conference today. >> what has happened to us since snowden, since the summer of 2013, is that more and more of that room has gotten dark. enprescription has become the default. it's a feature of the work of the less sophisticated. of drug dealers. of armed robbers. of terrorists. of pedophiles, of pad bad people of all sorts. >> the fbi is trying to track down whoever leaked this information. catherine herridge is live in washington. >> fox news confirmed the fbi has opened an investigation with all the evidence pointing to an insider and not a breach of

computers. reuters reporting last hour that investigators are focusing on the likelihood that more than one contractor was involved. the white house spokesman was pressed on the new wikileaks documents. >> i think it's interesting that -- how different subjects are approached. this one everyone is immediately rushing to. there should be more coverage of this. this alleged leak should consider every american in terms of the impact on national security. >> apple's iphone was the target of zero day programs that exploit unknown weaknesses. that includes audio and video recordings and extracting user data as well as contact, shep. >> shepard: ahead, more on the wikileaks fall-out. that's coming up on a very busy wednesday afternoon. tech: don't let a cracked windshield ruin your plans.

>> shepard: continuing uv can -- coverage. the latest fallout wikileaks. the fbi is looking for the leaker. let's bring in jack gilliam. inside job? why? >> this is a big trove of documents that includes software that can get in any electronic device you own, phone, smart tv,

computer. this had been discussed as something that had been circulating among the people that developed the software. that's one of the areas of investigation determining maybe who gave this to wikileaks. >> shepard: for the general population, those of us hearing this, a concern is not as much as the government can do this, but if wikileaks has it, then at some point anybody can do this. nefarious groups can high jack anything you're doing anywhere all the time, which is creepy. >> this is just a friendly reminder that our phones and any electronic device we use are not perfect. software is made by human beings. they make code that run the e-mail applications we use, internet browsers like google chrome and fire fox. like putting up drywall or baking a cake, it's not perfect the first time you do it. there's cracks and

imperfections. what the tools show us, the government is using those tools to get into those cracks and get access to a device. it's not clear who, likely not americans, the c.i.a. that deals with foreign adversaries. the tools are out there and ready for among the c.i.a. or others with the u.s. intelligence. >> shepard: you talk about cracks and imperfections. these things are crack. when we started carrying them, 15 years ago, we weren't thinking, this is how the government can monitor everything we do, every single one of us forever. oh, the television, oh, the car that is now going to be controlled or not going to have a driver. now if they want to assassinate somebody, they can run the car off the road. this isn't what we were thinking at the time. it hadn't crossed our minds. now here it is and they can see and hear everything and if they can, they probably are, right? >> i'm look you. it's hard for me to fully attach to any device, even on vacation.

makes my wife very irritated. but this is a good reminder how ubiquitous this technology is. this came a few years after the revelations by edward snowden, a former nsa contractor. that is different from what we're seeing with the c.i.a. leak. it's technical and software to get into it. snowden revealed how the national security agency had the ability and was looking at communication records of millions of americans, many not even suspected of a crime. so i think the more that hour world go goes online and goes into this digital age all around us, down to our cars, even our -- some refrigerators are connected to the internet in some weird way, that is just a reminder that there's cracks in all of these things and it's a matter of the government, the same organization to pass those leaks. >> shepard: fbi comey got a question on this. comforting? >> the general principles,

there's no such thing as absolute privacy in america. there is no place in america outside of judicial reach. that's the bargain. >> the whole point raised in the debate after the snowden disclosures and after the obama administration had about getting access to en scripted devices. once it's locked, can law enforcement get into it for investigations. this raises the question of now that the government has this great lock picker, what is it when it's a lock maker and tries to keep other devices secure. >> shepard: thanks, jack. >> thank you. >> shepard: president trump's new travel ban is facing a new legal challenge. hawaii we learned is set to go to court in an effort to block the travel ban just like happened to the president's first travel ban.

so did these changes to the new version go far enough? or could a court toss it out again? that and much more on another healthcare plan. live with the man who is pushing it coming up.

successfully sued to block the trump's original travel ban. this new executive order exempts visa bans and iraq is no longer on the list. the white house says the ban is important for security. let's go to a.b. stoddard. hawaii says this is not constitutional. >> i'll be interested to see the outcome of this court review, shep. i think the white house took their sweet time to make sure their next order was rewritten and redrafted to be airtight and pass legal muster. the first was stopped in court because it was said to favor christians and disfavor muslims. they worked to drop iraq, which is now an allied country from the new world order, but to make sure, like i said, that it will pass all of the tests that it couldn't the very first time.

i really wouldn't be surprised if it ends up that there's something that doesn't -- that can't stand up to judicial review. they worked on it for weeks. they delayed it many times and they said that after the first one, they knew what their mistakes were and they weren't going to run into this buzz saw again. >> shepard: because the court laid out the mistakes and the new plan, they were able to not make the same mistakes. >> that's what will be interesting, if it runs into trouble. even if not, what is interesting is that the states are taking up a lot of new activity in a sort of a new separation of powers, exercised against any potential overreach of the executive. that's something that we wrote about recently and i recommend the read. it was called "the revolts of the attorney general "and how the obama administration states learned to make sure they could

do something as they saw as overreach from washington from the white house. in the face of an abdication by congress and be a check on the executive branch. no matter the outcome, they succeeded in blocking obamacare at first and then an immigration executive order. attorneys general around the country can do this to trump a lot. >> shepard: the lawyers for hawaii says the new executive order is results in the establishment of religion in hawaii inflicting immediate damage to hawaii's economy, the educational institutions and tourism industry, subjecting a portion of the state's citizens to second class treatment and discrimination while denying residents of a pluralistic society. what hawaii is arguing is that the president said he wanted a muslim ban, he stood up in front of everybody when he was a candidate and said i want a ban

on muslims. hawaii is saying you can't do this. >> it's affecting the residents that can't receive visits from family, affecting tourism and their economy. you can see the reason behind it. whether or not it's unconstitutional is another matter. there's some legal experts that say that campaign statements can't be used in a process like this. >> shepard: and they didn't use those. they went with the other matters. but most legal scholars agree this isn't going to fly. >> we'll see. i think a lot of states will be taking a lot of action against this executive branch because it's a new check, as charles wrote about in an expression of separation powers in a new sort of use of the constitution. i think it will -- it's what democrats that are out of power

all over the country that are going to be doing more and more of. >> shepard: thanks, a.b. if you like your healthcare, you should be able to keep it. that's not the old promise. that's a new promise in an alternative bill to the gop's plan that is under debate right now. it's from a republican senator from louisiana and i'll talk to the man behind it. at the top of the hour, the health and human secretary tom price talks healthcare with neil cavuto. lots ahead as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news on america's choice for news and information on cable.

>> shepard: as we have been reporting, not all republican lawmakers are showing support for the gop's new healthcare bill and it's creating a divide within the party. there's one man that has another answer. let's bring in the republican senator, bill cassidy of louisiana. senator cassidy is the lead author of an alternative plan that would let states keep obamacare.

senator, thank you. keep obamacare? >> no. it's better to phrase it that we give states the power. what ebb with would do in 2017, pass legislation which would give states a choice. they can keep status quo or do absolutely nothing. this is a state's right issue. we think most would go with what we call the better choice, which gives the patients the power and the states the power. in 2019, they would implement their choice. by 2020 it's done. most americans think their insurance markets should be regulated in state capitols, not our nation's capitol. we respond to that collective wisdom. >> shepard: some people say if you put it in temperature hands of the states, could lead to narrowing of provider networks, which is what republicans have been complaining about. >> shepard: i don't know which plan that is, but our plan has

been praised from the right to the left. a way to give states control over how it's administered. a state may choose that folks would have their choice of a narrow network or broader. that's the state choice. it's easier for a patient to complain to their state legislator than it is to the director of cms. >> shepard: i was going to say, you'd admit that state rules are less stringent and regulatory standards would go down, right? >> we don't know that. new york had stricter regulatory controls than did washington. louisiana has less strict. our point is, the states should make that choice. why is the federal government telling states what to do unless it said under the constitution they should be. that was the problem with obamacare. we get away from that. >> shepard: you would eliminate the employer mandate and the individual mandate, correct? >> correct. >> shepard: so with no mandate, how do you spread the costs around? >> what we suggest is states have the option to auto enroll

folks. just like when i turned 65, i'll be on medicare unless i tell them i don't want to be. in this case, states would say, you let us know. if you're eligible, we're going to give you a credit that would be sufficient to pay a premium for aer 82 and you'll be enrolled. that gets the young that don't think about health insurance into the pool. now, they would build up -- it's to their advantage. they would have coverage if they get in a car wreck. they would have a little hsa that would grow over time. if you spread the cost of the sick over the many, it lowers the cost of the sick. our plan modeled and insurance companies said it would lower premiums by 20%, even though you're still caring for those that are ill. >> shepard: you introduced a similar bill last year. it got ignored. this time you have two others with you. u.s. -- three. susan collins, johnny isakson. >> and mike rounds of the dakota it's and lindsey graham of the

carolinas. we have six total. >> shepard: but six do not a law make and with the decider in chief says he's for the other plan, there's a lot of republicans that are for the other one that says what you're doing is dividing things and mucking up the works. to what you say? >> number 1, we had our bull out there. the house bill has the same features we have getting rid of mandates and penalties. they reform medicaid in the same fashion that we would treat the medicaid expansion population. a lot of the ideas are constant. i'll point out an earlier interview, mark meadows said, the leader of the house freedom caucus says we should take provisions from all the plans and maybe come up with a combination bill. we don't think we're the -- dividing. we're furthering the conversation.

>> shepard: it's another plan. it's republican-led. we'll see the traction it gets. you had a town hall a few weeks ago and one in new orleans east. it doesn't look like your constituents are happy with much of anything. is this feedback continuing? are folks in that part of louisiana still this angry? >> shepard: that was a portion of my constituents. if the election was held tomorrow, donald trump would get is 65%. if our group showed up that was at the town hall, you would get 5%. don't let a few that communicate through facebook and -- do their constitutional right of protest. i'm okay with that. but clearly it was a coordinated effort. people in our state want change. >> shepard: senate senaer er -- senator, stay with us.

>> i hope to file this in two weeks. again, he was enthusiastic and he was clearly aware of the problem and clearly -- he made it clear to us that he wanted to do something about it. there were two other issues that i talked about. that was when he said to him mr. president, when you're talking about the african american community, i want you to realize that all african american communities are not -- >> shepard: that's a switch that happened up on capitol hill. originally he had been talking to the president about the cost of prescription drugs. i know especially for older people, we're now led to believe under this plan that the president is backing that the vast majority of republicans have put forward. under that plan, people in their

50s and 60s will pay more for healthcare and prescription drug costs continue to soar, senator. what are we going to do about that? >> there's no one single solution to the prescription drug problem. we've worked on this for some time. there's things you can do. one example. pharmacy benefit managers will get a rebate from the manufacturer that they will give to the insurance company but not the patients. so the patient in her deductible will have to pay 100% of the costs. the insurer will only pay 50%. the patient should get the same discount as the insurer. it's called a point to sale rebate. there's gag orders on pharmacists that wouldn't allow them to tell patients it's cheaper to pay cash than to go through the insurance company. we can get rid of the gag orders. other things that we're working on. >> shepard: senator, it's all very interesting. if our viewers want to know more about your bill-with can they see it? >> our website,

california and mexico. and then i've talked to other people that said that he could be in a gang. so that is to be determined. right now, this hearing today was really more about jurisdiction and whether or not this case should be held in immigration court or hear in federal court. shep? >> shepard: thanks, dan. today is international women's day. some women are trying to show people what life would be like without them. they're skipping work and skipping schools. they're boycotting and marching in the street. a live report from one of the rallies next. i just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. my insurance company definitely doesn't have that... you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance

tech: at safelite, we know how busy your life can be. mom: oh no... tech: this mom didn't have time to worry about a cracked windshield. so she scheduled at safelite.com and with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" she knew exactly when i'd be there, so she didn't miss a single shot. i replaced her windshield giving her more time for what matters most. tech: how'd ya do? player: we won! tech: nice! that's another safelite advantage. mom: thank you so much! (team sing) safelite repair, safelite replace.

>> shepard: women across the country and around the world skipping work and closing their

wallets to show their economic power. it's called a day without women on this international women's day. a live look at the labor department in d.c. crowds holding signs and chanting. another look in san francisco. protests happening there today as well. people gathering in washington square park in new york city downtown. events there kickoff in just a few minutes. these are some of the first big events since the women's marches the day after the president's inauguration. julie banderas is in manhattan. hello, julie. >> hey, shep. yeah, today is actually part of a larger and broader plan. today fourth of ten planned organizations by the women's march organizations. the protests spreading hundreds of people across new york city. live in washington square park is where hundreds of new yorkers and though visiting the is the i have been spread down to. demonstrators making their way to voice the vital role that women play in the domestic and

global economy. the movement being held in dozens of cities like los angeles, washington d.c. organizers have called on women not to work at the office or at home today, not to shop and to wear red to signify love and sacrifice. so the question then remains is with all these women walking off the job, we asked what will it achieve and what kind of message will it send to washington? >> in my opinion women's rights are human rights. we're fighting for everybody's rights around the world as well. >> the rallies also coincide with international women's day and the more globally focused women's strike. organizers want the stand with women around the globe showing

solidarity with those around the world. italy, turkey and belgium are also taking part in the strike. so they're hoping this movement will continue as they continue to protest during donald trump's first 100 days in office. of course, a much wider global initiative as you can see around the world. back to you. >> shepard: thanks, julie. top of the hour, top of the news moments away. you wouldn't put p with an umbrella that covers you part way, so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. tell you what, i'll give it to you for half off.

burning, befoof diabetic nerve pain, these feet... kicked off my high school games... and helped those in need. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression,

whatever. but cds became the cool new way to listen to music 38 years ago today. a box of cds that i move from home to home while moving. it's like what am i doing? just burn the stuff. here's cavuto. >> neil: all right. fox on top of, well, selling a new healthcare law or the attempt to become law. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. this is "your world." the administration seems to be standing by for the time being a measure put together by largely republican leadership that calls for completely repealing and revamping what is known as obamacare. we're going to talk to the health and human services secretary about this, tom price. after that, rand paul leading an effort to oppose what the secretary wants to do. he says his intentions are good but the roll-out is not. first to blake burman at the white house. how is this going
