mean, we don't care. call the number, 877-225-8587. that's all the time that we have left this evening. see you back here, the battle contin >> breaking tonight, they white house reacting to a remarkable turn of events as a man considered by many to be an enemy of the united states invites america's top technology firms to partner with him against the u.s. intelligence community. i am sandra smith in for martha maccallum and this is day 49 of00. strange developments playing out today. julian assange, the editor-in-chief of wikileaks, the person accused of being upon of russian president vladimir putin, reaching out to tech firms, trashing the cia as "incompetent."

and touting wikileaks for exposing the agency's most sensitive secrets. >> the material comes from an isolated, disconnected from other computer systems, top-secret security network situated inside the cia's center for cyber intelligence. this is an historic act of devastating incompetence to have created such an arsenal and stored it all in one place and not secured it. after considering what we think is the best way to proceed and hearing these calls from some of the manufacturers, we have decided to work with them, give them some exclusive access to the additional technical details we have. >> sandra: we will be joined by former chairman of the house intelligence committee and trump campaign advisor pete hoekstra along with juan williams.

first, captain catherine herrit the white house. >> white house spokesman sean spicer telling reporters that the breach is serious and there may be other issues. >> grave concern the president has about the release of national security and classified information that threatens and undermines our nations security for it he believes the systems of the ca are outdated and need to be updated. >> at the news conference, julian assange offering to work with tech companies to deceive deceive -- asked whether the documents shed new light on the president's allegations that trump tower was wiretapped, assange offered no direct evidence and a fresh allegation. >> i think there's a real question whether the technology is being used in these types of investigation.

that's a separate question to whether ca offices have been pressing the button on those technologies. big republican chairman of the house armed services committee telling fox news he believes wikileaks is being used by moscow. >> another form of attack designed to weaken the united states. now, who was trying to do that in a variety of ways through cyber, various forms of propaganda, et cetera, the russians. >> the cia issuing this statement. taking a dig at assange same thing wikileaks founder is hardly a bastion of truth and integrity. assange said nothing today about the source of the documents. >> sandra: thank you for your reporting. here now, pete hoekstra, former chairman of the house intelligence committee, and juan williams. pete, you just heard from julian

assange, his description of our cia as incompetent. how would you describe the state of our intel community? >> oh, i think our intelligence community is in crisis. i don't agree with julian assange very often but describing this as an historic act of devastating incompetence is exactly right. this is the third example. you have bradley manning, edward snowden, and now you have this on top of it. we are not learning from our past mistakes. we are in crisis. we can't protect our own data. the intelligence community has been implicated in some devastating leaks of some of our most sensitive information to take down someone like general michael flynn and now americans are having questions. if we have such gross do we have the systems in place to make sure that the tools of the intelligence committee are not turned against americans? i don't think so, but i think

it's a legitimate question to ask. >> sandra: you speak of not learning from our past mistakes, as far as julian does not know maggie hassan's just described, there are companies who do want to learn from these mistakes, want to find out how this is happening, he is feeling those calls, he has invited technology firms to join him. is that a good idea? >> not a good idea for the tech firms. i don't see that there is any reason to cooperate and legitimize julian assange, who i view as someone who is a enemy of the united states end of united states interests around the world. i guess i disagree on this point because, to my mind, come at the cia it remains the standard for intelligence agencies around the world, yes, there have been some problems as the congressperson pointed out, but i think they were capable of repairing these holes. i think that assange is a tool, a puppet, as we heard earlier,

as of the russians. a lot of activity on lots of levels in which the russians are trying to assert their global influence at the cost of faith in american democracy and american institutions, including the cia. >> sandra: i'm sure the congressman probably saw the white house's response, sean spicer was asked about this at the white house press briefing, speaking on behalf of president trump, he said the president has grave concerns about the release of this national security and classified information. he said it threatens and undermines our national security. he then went on to say that the present systems at the cia are outdated and need to be updated. what can be done at this point? >> what really needs to be done is there needs to be put a focus on the spirit of the cia and our intelligence community in cyberspace -- and let me make the distinction, in cyber, they

are not the traditional force. i think in cyber, there are other forces that are equivalent. of a more significant danger are they nonstate actors or smaller state actors, iran, north korea, criminal cartels and perhaps isis, they are not as good as what we are, but they can do us significant damage, and since we are not the premier player in cyber, we are very, very vulnerable as a nation. >> sandra: congressman, you have described cyber as the wild wild west, a very dangerous place. that sounds like a dire warning. one last word to you. >> i think the congressman x-rays. this is the wild wild west. it is new and everybody is trying to get in there and establish some dominance and some framework. i was just clearly saying, i think we are the premier intelligence agencies on the ground and other areas, but he is right about cyber. i'm not sure it's just a matter of money. we are going to have to also

play defense and protect kind of effort and attention to it in order to stop it. not just that they have established our capabilities, as the congressman was just pointing out, their enemies are now going to have access to that information as well and be able then to potentially use it against us, sandra. spun congressman pete hoekstra and juan williams, thank you for joining us. it is only four days old, but president trump's revised travel ban already facing legal challenges from several states. this is a story that is developing at this hour, we will bring the details. plus, despite opposition from doctors, hospitals, and even some within their own party, house republicans score a victory in their fight to replace obamacare, but they still face a fierce fight. up next, we will go to capitol hill for the very latest. congressman sean duffy is here on why he thinks the reports about complaints from

conservative groups may be overblown. as a core musical >> there are a lot of things that occur in phase two and phase three that help bring down costs and create greater choice choice.

>> sandra: breaking tonight, perhaps momentum building for the american health care act as the bill passes two house committees and in the process moving past the first hurdle. the mood now setting the scene for the legislation to hit the house floor. judging by the volleys traded by pelosi and speaker ryan today, we can expect a fierce fight. >> the bill that is good to take three weeks just to move to the house because we are following regular order, lower costs, more choices, not less, patients and control, universal access to health care. this is the closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing obamacare. the time is here come at the time is now. >> it doesn't lower costs. it doesn't improve benefits. and it doesn't expand access. and that is the purpose. just talking about the facts, it is really a cruel bill that the

republicans have put forth. >> sandra: for more on how this coming fight is expected to unfold, chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel. hello. >> sandra, could evening. clearing two hurdles in two house committees after an all-nighter, the ways and means committee wrapped event 4:17 them's morning, the energy and commerce panel finished up this afternoon after starting yesterday morning. they praise the spirit of debate and moving forward. >> we are united as a committee. you sell that with the unanimous votes. we are uniting as a conference, and we are going to pass this bill, send it to the senate, and they will forward it to the president's desk where president donald trump will sign it. >> democrats, including nancy pelosi, city g.o.p. plan is a cruel bill and it will increase the number of uninsured. the senate democratic leader also blasted it.

>> no one likes this bill. hospitals, doctors, governors, conservatives, liberals, nonpartisan groups, and most of all, the people who will no longer have affordable health care. >> house speaker paul ryan used a powerpoint presentation to talk with the aspects conservatives should like in this legislation. ryan addressed conservatives who would love to do all of health care reform right now. >> naturally, people are saying, i would love to have this in there, i would love to have that in there. that is the legislative process. what people are learning is, this reconciliation tool is pretty tight. there is a lot of stuff we would love to put in the bill, unfortunately, senate rules don't allow us to do that. >> singh step three will be more legislation on capitol hill to completely redo health care. also tonight, a group of lawmakers are down the street at the white house for a little bowling and undoubtedly some arm

twisting. sandra? >> sandra: so curious to see how that will go. mike emanuel, thank you. here now with mark, sean duffy and jessica tarlov from bussell.com. congressman duffy, we do know that there is a little bowling and pizza taking place tonight, some convincingly taking place there. just heard him say that time is now. what does this fight look like for republicans? i think i'm going to go to jessica tarlov her spirit >> i think it is going to be a very difficult fight. chuck schumer is correct to their people on both sides of the aisle, doctors, hospitals, that they're proposing this, and i find it interesting that suddenly republicans don't have to wait for eight cbo score. we have paul ryan on record in 2009 saying no vote until there's a cbo score. >> sandra: let's take a look at that, they were asked about that, why not wait for the cbo score, he basically said, look

what happened with obamacare, absolutely off, he said he wasn't discrediting it, didn't get it right with obamacare. >> we had early estimates that said 10 million that would lose insurance, then brookings saying it could be up to 15 million people. the american public doesn't need a new plan jams down their throats, and it's not going to pass the senate anyway. >> sandra: that sort of reminds us of the whole obamacare battle. congressman duffy had a problem there with his microphone. we're going to get him back if we can. sounds like he's good now. live tv. we definitely need to get your perspective on this. i started out referencing paul ryan. he said the time is now. what are republicans going to do? this is a fierce fight lining up great >> let me talk about what nancy pelosi is saying. a cruel bill is one that has cost increases in minnesota,

pennsylvania, kentucky a 50% or more a year, arizona, 100% a year. we have to step in and save health care. republicans and some of the naysayers in the republican party are going to have to come forward with a set of ideas on how they want to reform the bill. that would a great sausage making process of legislating, but republicans will have a choice. are you going to vote with donald trump or nancy pelosi and barack obama. this is the last best choice to take power away from washington and instead empower people and patients. >> sandra: what do you know about these reports that trump called conservative groups last night that a new version could be released next week. >> i think there are some good points from that some of the naysayers will bring up. in the end, but we want is a landing in health care. like an aircraft carrier. if you are someone who thinks you can change this on a dime,

it's not possible. you can't repeal everything and reconciliation. you need 60 votes and data democrats. have to go through the step-by-step process. >> but that is what donald trump promised the american people. you're obviously not. as he just said, you need a soft landing. i don't think you should be touching a lot of the things you are, but on top of that -- >> sandra: let's make it back in here and get it back to you, congressman duffy, based on what jessica brought up early. she and other democrats have voiced their concern that this hasn't been scored by a cbo yet. democrats using the same argument republicans did with obamacare, they feel like this is being rammed down their throat. why not slow down? tom cotton, congressman, he agrees with that. telling republican colleagues to pause, start over, get it right, don't get it fast. >> we feel pretty comfortable

this score will be in the black with the cbo. when you talk about a legislative process, remember when nancy pelosi said, we have to pass this so america can find out what is in it? or telling the truth when saying that they health care costs, family of four, going to go down by $2500 a year? >> sandra: congressman, do you like all of the elements of this bill? >> there are improvements that can be made. the medicaid block granting can be improved, the refundable tax credit, again, you can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, our one shot to get health care done. with donald trump on his twitter going to town, going to the freedom caucus, got more votes than they did. this is the best plan we are going to get to get rid of obamacare. >> you are not going to get susan collins on board if you're going after planned parenthood like that.

>> that's okay. >> yes, that is okay. you have the majority but you don't have enough to keep the bill in this form. on top of it, you offer tax breaks for people, then giving this new insurance? >> sandra: we've got to leave it there. last word, congressman paid >> we have an imploding health care plan, in the end, republicans will stand together. >> sandra: i'm so good that we got that microphone working. >> i am most thankful we got back back. >> sandra: 's jessica, thank you. one prominent magazine suggesting this could harm our democracy, governor mike huckabee is here to deliver a very strong message to the media. plus, that same mediate was quick to call president trump's wiretap claim on trump tower false, but where those proclamations premature? we have a special report from ed henry on that. before, chris stirewalt,

>> sandra: our media conflict segment takes a look at the claims by president trump that his -- i'm so sorry. this is live tv tonight and it's

best for them. tower was tapped by the obama administration. 100% wrong on those claims. >> absolutely no evidence that the obama justice department, anybody wiretapped trump tower. >> if he has the evidence within a nanosecond, he can release that evidence and show that he's right. he refuses to do so which suggests he doesn't really have the evidence. >> the president has made a huge allegation with no evidence. i think everybody was dumbfounded. you, us, everybody. >> sandra: newspaper of record back on inauguration report that wiretaps were indeed part of the story surrounding president trump. here to separate fact from fiction, ed henry joining us from washington. we hope you're having a better next to me. >> "new york times" has been in such a rush to discredit claims, forgot at first gave these

allegations some grievance several weeks before his tweet. turns out on the very day of trump's inauguration, the "times" itself had the headline that said they are examining communications and financial transactions as part of a broad investigation. adding, "the investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks, but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing." one official said that intel reports based on some of the wiretapped communications has been provided to the white house. the key there, wiretap communications provided to the white house, as and barack obama's white house, a sign that perhaps the current president's tweets were not as outlandish as critics have claimed, which may be by andrew mccartney noted that it was, "wiretapped data used in inquiry of trump aids."

digitally, the headline is different, the "times" insists they never changed it. but the word "wiretapped" is not in the headline. it says, "intercepted russian communications part of inquiry into trump associates." charging mr. obama had ordered the wiretapping with no evidence to back that up, and the president also tweeted that he and trump tower with the targets of the wiretapping, we should note, the original times story flatly stated it was not clear whether those intercepted communications had anything to do with mr. trump or his campaign. it could have just been wiretapped communications of russian officials. sandra? spohn don't miss ed henry tonight at 9:00 as he fills in for mr. tucker carlson. have more on the investigation tonight. joining me now with more, thank goodness, our fox news political editor, asa booth, and a

republican strategist, mo elleithee, the founding director of georgetown institute of -- chris stirewalt, let me start with you. the question is, was the immediate too quick to call out president trump as being false with his claim. >> sure, in the sense that, remember, the key of the controversy here is trump's implicit accusation that barack obama as president ordered it wiretapped to listen to the phone calls that donald trump was making. that was the clear implication. and there ain't no evidence of anything like that. the degree with which trump was assaulted in those clips that you and ed looked at right there, surely, yes. but i would caution to national review and those that want to help donald trump out of this jam, probably not good for trump to keep talking about this.

you invariably, if you're trying to help the man, let it die, relate to contacts. >> sandra: lisa, what about that? >> i don't think -- i think president trump -- i think there is a lot of recklessness going all around here. to chris's point earlier, the underlying concern with this entire dialogue around russia, somehow is influence from russia undermines americans trust in various institutions. but i think people are doing a good enough job on their own to undermine that trust. we see the narratives being driven by both the left and the media that aren't substantiated by facts. one, that some a rush to change the trajectory of the election, and two that there is some collusion between trump individuals and russia which remains unsubstantiated. james clapper recently said he has nothing indicating collusion

as well. i think there is plenty of recklessness to go around here. >> sandra: mo, if you look back at some of these headlines we're showing you come if reporters had just done a little bit of research, a little bit of digging prior to jumping to conclusions and slapping those headlines on the front of the paper, maybe this story would have ended up differently. >> i don't know if i agree with that. "the new york times" washington bureau chief set on the record that their sources came from wiretaps and foreign intelligence that was obtained overseas. that is a very, very different thing than what the president alleged. the president alleged that barack obama personally directed the wiretapping of trump tower. this is not -- what's the "times" is saying, and i don't know, but what "times" is saying is that there were wiretaps and other investigations conducted

overseas of russia and russian agents, and they just caught trump people talking to them. that is a very different situation. i think if we want to talk about recklessness, this president needs to pause before he exercises his itchy trigger finger that keeps getting him into trouble. >> sandra: chris, it does seem to keep coming back to the twitter, on both sides of the aisle, it does seem like, and i know that bret baier just asked mike pence about that just why cannot may become a code does not have been brought about differently than just boldly put out on twitter? that has been an ongoing question, right? >> i would encourage each american, i would encourage all of our colleagues in the media, to take donald trump's tweets sometimes nearly literally nor seriously. it's okay to go, well, he was having a bad day, and he had had a bad day, the jeff sessions

blowout, obviously angry and he was reportedly very angry at his senior staff and he is lashing out and saying things. now we've got senate investigation and by going to do this, and the white house can't walk back from it. they tried to as much as they could, but we would like congress to investigate the claims. wait, do what? it is okay in this case, and i would tell congress and everybody, donald trump tweets about. >> sandra: but if i go back to lisa, you're going to say, that is exactly with the supporters have liked about him. >> that is something he is he smartly both in the election and as president of the united states, taking that message, as you said, directly to the people. i think president trump has gone through a ton of scrutiny but the media and left have not. i think it is really dangerous when there are these narratives being put out there, the unsubstantiated dossier that bob woodward of "the washington post" called a garbage document but nobody is

calling them out. i think there is an allegation by everyone to be honest and truthful and relation to this russian dialogue. >> sandra: good to see all three of you. thanks for being here tonight. we are breaking tonight commit new order, same fight, and several states had to court to block president trump's latest version of his order that temporarily bands traveled from six terror-rich nations. plus, illegal border crossing takes a dramatic dive during trump's first month in office. whether trump's america first message is leading to economic actual results. >> we want all americans to succeed, but that can't happen in an environment of flawless chaos. we must restore integrity and the rule of law at our ♪ there's nothing more important than your health. so if you're on medicare or will be soon, you may want more than parts a and b

>> sandra: breaking tonight, just 49 days into president trump's presidency, figures suggest his tough tone may be coming into play. homeland security agency now touting a 40% decline in illegal border crossings last month as "unprecedented" ." >> these numbers are compiled based on how many immigrants were caught trying to cross the border illegally because it is unknown how many actually make it. that show you what the decline actually looks like. in january, 31,578 people were apprehended trying to cross the southern border. in february, it was 18,762. that is the lowest monthly total in at least five years. but homeland security agency says the remarkable thing about the decline is that historically the numbers from january to february increase by 10% to 20%. and when you are talking about families trying to cross crosse border together, the normal

increase from january to february is 100%. now, here is more evidence this trend is based on the implementation of president trump's executive order on immigration. in the three months before the inauguration, border agents apprehended 157,000 illegal immigrants, a 35% rise from the previous year. trump takes office, apprehensions plummets. customs and border protection says this is good news for those who don't try to cross because they did not put themselves and their families at risk of "exploitation, assault, and injury by human traffickers and the physical dangers of the treacherous journey north," although some liberal analysts see this as a bad thing. watch. >> if you believe that it is a good thing that people, for example, refugees who are fleeing central america, very dangerous circumstances, no longer are coming to the united states as refugees then i guess, yes, it's a good thing. i don't think that's a good

thing. i think that what that says is that people are no longer seeing the united states as a refuge for them. >> customs and border protection also says that during the past year, the fees being charged by human smugglers to get people into the u.s. have gone up 130%. sandra? >> sandra: trace gallagher, thank you. during the week with mark, carl higbee, supporter of president trump, and roberts merman, democratic strategist. no denying here, carl, we are seeing a dramatic drop in illegal border crossings, down 40%. >> remember when trump said you're going to get tired of winning? not there yet, 100,000 more jobs produced last month and predicted, now the drop of immigration, almost 50% illegal immigration down. >> sandra: i'm looking at you robert and thinking you're going to say there is something wrong with this. >> not at all. we want to see our borders secure. maybe it has something to do with the 21,000 border security

troops we have on our southern border that risked their lives every day to keep our borders secure. maybe it has something to do with the fact that in the past eight years, president obama actually reported 2 million who tried to come into our country, maybe it has something to do with the fact that we have seen, under president obama and president bush, a much more aggressive approach to keep our borders secure. >> sandra: but it does seem like we are hearing this is some sort of bad thing from the left, you did see that democratic analyst, kirsten powers, saying i think this says people are no longer seeing the united states as a refuge for them. >> people are no longer seeing the united states as, you can walk all over our laws. if you want to come here legally, fine, but don't do it illegally or you're gone. >> carl, you think in one month of frederick r immigration issues have been solved, you probably think mexico is going to pay for the wall. >> sandra: let's get to that.

senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has something to say say about that. >> i am in favor of border security. [laughs] there are some paces along the border where that is probably not the best way to secure the border. but i think general kelly knows what he is doing. >> do you believe that mexico will pay for it? >> no. [laughter] >> image also didn't think donald trump was going to be president. there you go. nobody thought donald trump was going to go down to the president, grabbed the door, they all thought this was going to be done gradually over time. anybody with any reason would have said, it can be done through trade deficits. >> the way it is being done according to president trump's own budget, decimating the budget for our coast guard, our rail, or airport security, to pay for construction of this fall. that is what is happening. that's my you've got members of congress like bill heard saying

this is reckless, dangerous, stupid, making america less safe to sacrifice all of our security in our other ports to invest in the wall. >> sandra: let me ask you something, carl, then, if we are seeing illegal border crossings down 40% as a result of the current administration's policies, why do we need to build a wall? >> still 18,000 people coming in illegally. >> statistically, more people from mexico are leaving the united states and going back to mexico than coming in. for the first time i think since the '70s, under the obama administration -- coat >> sandra: carl, asking the question. >> if people want to go back to mexico, fine. we'll bring the jobs back here, people can go back if they want, still 18,000 people as per that report coming into this country illegally. all it takes is one bad hombre coming in here illegally, got to stop every single one of them.

>> we also know statistically, tragically, domestic terrorism is the danger. >> sandra: f got to leave it here. breaking tonight, new opposition to donald trump's revised travel ban, several states again travel the order -- challenge the order. plus, is president trump's war on hurting our democracy? that is what a times magazine story seems to suggest.

... ... ... this is the silverado special edition. this is one gorgeous truck. oh, did i say there's only one special edition? because, actually there's five. ooohh!! aaaahh!! uh! hooooly mackerel. wow. nice. strength and style. it's truck month. get 0% financing for 60 months plus find your tag and get $5500 on select chevy silverado pick-ups when you finance with gm financial. find new roads at your local chevy dealer.

>> and we win tomorrow, we are going to drain the swamp. >> sandra: but was president trump on the campaign trail, rallying supporters with his promise to drain the swamp in washington. now "time" magazine suggesting the presidents or on washington could come at the expense of our democracy. really. they writes, in part, "trump is railing his political base against the federal agencies he oversees, does partnering his presence with a fanatical fringe. we know those, he will diminish the credibility of the government."

general mike huckabee, a fox news contributor, governor, what were your exact thoughts when you saw this? >> i get "time" magazine, when i started reading this story, i realized that i would get better and more accurate information if i stood in the checkout line at the supermarket and picked the trash he is tabloid. i threw it in the trash. this is the reason people, they don't just dislike the press, they despise the press, and this kind of contemptuous and condescending story on the part of "time" magazine is at the zenith of what people are disgusted by. they don't get it. people are supporting donald trump not because he is going to go and count kowtow to washington, he is going to disrupted and it is needing a major disruption. >> sandra: you look at the cover clearly showing trump with the phone leaning against a crumbling washington monument, and it said trump's war on

washington. is that what this is, governor? >> no, it is a war for the freedom that the american people have lost because washington operates for itself and by itself and on behalf of itself. instead of working for the people, by the people, as it's supposed to do. this is a government that has just lost its way. it's not donald trump that's all messed up. it is washington and the system. and people didn't vote for him and elect him so that he would go and end up going what i call going native and becoming part of the institution. they elected him so he would challenge the kind of nonsense they have had to put up with. of course, they live by different rules than the rest of us. whether it is and when they snooped on our colleague, james rosen, and his parents, whether they lied to us about the irs going after conservative pro-life groups, said they didn't, but, in fact, they did, and nobody went to jail for it. it is been james clapper lies to

congress about what the agencies of intelligence are actually doing, and there is no accountability. i could go on and on. but this is why people are supporting donald trump and hope and pray every night that he does not worship the golden calf of government. let me be clear, sandra. i'm convinced that is what we are dealing with. so many people have changed a real worship of god into the god of government. it is the new golden calf. and i think a lot of people are seeing donald trump as the guy coming down off the mountain and taking the golden calf and in the proverbial birds of saying, put it where the sun don't shine. >> sandra: you have a way with words, governor. we know and he has made it very clear, the president's view and his opinion of the media tomorrow. what is a message to the media tonight? >> grow up and be responsible. yes, the president has gone after you. i would say to the press, if you

want to be treated better, start treating the truth better, start acting like journalists rather than opinion makers. you want to do editorial, write a column and say it is an editorial. but if you're going to run true views and aphoristic organizations cannot do it with integrity. a simple test for you. if i read a news story, and i can't tell whether the reporter likes me or not when he is writing about me, that is a good news story. when i read and another reporter doesn't like me, i get the picture. >> sandra: governor huckabee, thanks for being here. at this hour, now six states challenging president trump's revised travel ban. how will the showdown between the president
