united states just retweeted that. >> i have a feeling he will raise a lot more money. the after the show show, we're sitting over there, aaron watson is going to sing another song so why trust right now online, have a great weekend, it is friday! >> the white house and congressional republicans gaining momentum in their push for a new healthcare bill. the measure clearing to house committees as president trump goes all in trying to win back over republicans who are still on the fence. there are dozens of them apparently. good morning, i am shannon bream live from "america's newsroom hq," get to see you. >> good to see you during the week, we wished you -- missed you, happy friday, bill and martha have the friday off. president trump turning on the tram to get the bill over the finish line inviting conservatives to the white house for you guessed it, pizza and bowling. there you go. shannon is very happy to discuss healthcare along with other issues and asked that political

stakes grow, vice president mike pence says mr. trump will keep his campaign promise. >> donald trump is a man of his word. among all of the things that he promised, and there were many to the american people, i think what folks administration is the president has been working in an energetic way to keep his promises to the american people. he decided the day after the election that the number one priority, the first priority in the congress when they came back was to keep his word to repeal and replace obamacare. we're going to make sure it happens. >> shannon: chief white house correspond to john roberts as a life on the north lawn, what is the latest on the white house selling of this health care plan? >> good morning to you. the white house and president pushing hard on this, senior admission officials telling me this is really the art of the deal for donald trump. he is meeting with people every day into the night, really kind of in his element according to a white house official in full dealmaking mode, listening to input, looking at numbers,

weighing and measuring options. the white house says the president is doing with the leadership should have done previously, and that is listen to people, take their ideas seriously and give them a hearing. the omb director mick mulvaney is said to be working 20 hours a day, working through all of the opposition ideas. senator ted cruz was here last night working with mick mulvaney and that the master policy chief trying to get the deal done. congressman jim jordan and mark meadows here yesterday for a meeting with the president, leader of their freedom talk is said to be pushing back at least for a rollback of the medicaid expansion which is currently set for 2020 in the american healthcare act. wanting to push that up to the end of this year. that bowling party at the white house last night, the white house legislative affairs team had a number of people from congress over last night, single lane bowling alley in the basement of the white house that extends out underneath the north of portico in the driveway, and they got together last night for a little, guess what you can call it, tenpin diplomacy as

they tried to craft a deal to get through congress. >> shannon: what i am dying to see if the president actually putting on bowling shoes, takinw frames, we are looking forward to that paired by the way, do you think that the president is going to be able to get enough people on board with the law as it stands? >> if you go to the white house museum web site, there's a picture of president bush bowling street shows coming and anyone who has bowled knows how much of a no-no that is. the president is confident when all is said and done he will be able to get this thing through. i am told none of the opponents are on board just yet, but the president is working them hard. nothing is locked in stone is the message that is coming from the white house. when all is said and done, everybody will get things they love and some things that they "love less." so this is going to be a difficult negotiation, no question about that. concern from the leadership, though, paul ryan's office said the president by having all these meetings at the white house is trying to do an

end run around the speaker of the house, so congressman ryan's office is watching all of this very closely, weighing in on all of these potential changes, what they might do to the equation of healthcare, what they might due to the cost, expenses, budget, and whether they will be able to get that through congress depending on which way the deal starts to evolve by all of these white house meetings. >> shannon: i like the way you describe it, things people laugh and think they love less, that is what it comes down to, john roberts, thank you. >> leland: also meant everyone loves, chris stirewalt, fox news politics editor and the author -- don't worry, we won't ruin it for anyone. >> the author of a banquet the halftime report." we'll start right at the halftime report, the headline as you know yesterday, can speed kill dissent on trumpcare, how are they doing so far? >> so far, so good because they have these procedural rules in the whole goal in the house is, in these are what the

white house meetings are all about, there is not a lock to love before conservatives period in this legislation. it's a real disappointment for conservatives who hoped they would see some major reform. they would see some major overhaul, that they would see a rollback in the concept. the fundamental concept that healthcare is a responsibility or health insurance is a responsibility of the federal government. that is their beef with it, and not only does it not answer that, it enshrines this as a responsibility of the federal government so conservatives are ideologically at odds with what this does. but the promise from the president is just wait. we have to get this part through, and then in stages gmac and 3, we will do the things that make you happy, we will have a policy that you will be happy to have it, but you have to give us this upfront. >> leland: things you might love a little less than things you really love to come. we know the freedom caucus folks who have said, we only saw this

build 50 hours ago, we only have one seat on ways and means, they are coming to the white house for more of this bowling alley diplomacy in the coming days. does that really work? if you are a freedom caucus member and show up at the white house, bull if you friends, eat a couple slices of pizza, are you then committed to voting for the bill? >> no. the issue here for congress is how much does donald trump want this? if you're in the leadership, you want donald trump to one at a great deal, you want it to be trumpcare, you want him to on this so he does not back out at the end and send the whole thing flying. if you're one of those ideologues, a conservative he was concerned about this legislation and what it does, what it establishes as a role of the federal government, donald trump can make you eat it anyway because he can go to your district where he got more votes than you got and tell people, this guy is a nerd, he's talking about all of this ideology and constitutional razzmatazz, we have to get it fixed to make america great again, make everybody rich and get everybody back to work. >> leland: air force one makes

a whole lot of noise when it shows up in poughkeepsie for a young congressman. the question is, in you asked this in the halftime report as well, easy to prepare for these interviews, i just read your pieces. will trump stick with trumpcare? already we saw a sweet 24 report that he has hedging his bed a little bit on that, telling conservatives, it really does not work, just wait a couple years, obamacare will fal and we will blame it on the democrats. i cannot imagine that is what paul ryan and others who are going to them at right now want to hear. >> no, they just need to tie this to trump, and they need him to eat it. let's look at it this way. this was going to be unpopular no matter what they put out. it was going to be unpopular with some major constituencies and conservatives they are victimizing in that sense, so trump has a lot of sway with those people back in their districts as you talked about. maybe not poughkeepsie, but certainly other places, they need him to do it. what it looks like it's

happening is that mike pence if they can shoulder their response about it and blame of this thing if it goes back, he ends up carrying it, we will see what trump does and how committed he is spirit he has to remember that no matter how unpopular the legislation is, if it feels, so will the rest of his agenda. his success or failure as president is in substantial part dependent on whether this thing can get through. >> leland: the stakes are very high as they are and "the halftime report" nerd bracket for the greatest political speech of american history, down to the final four, are there any previews for what's coming down in the next hours? >> i cannot consecrate, but i will say that that child is the pace 3 place to be today. stick with the chalk. >> press secretary spicer: >> leland: i think for the first time we have ever stumped you. thank secretary spicer: >> leland: you, have a great weekend >> shannon: what happens next in the healthcare fight, we're going to talk to a key player in the republican push for this healthcare bill, congressman

kevin brady is the chairman of the house ways and means committee. he is going to join us live in just a few minutes. he's one of the committees that has actually got its part passed so far. frightening scene out of germany, man wielding and asked injuring nine people at a train station. edie logan is following the story this morning, good mornin morning. >> good morning. police say the alleged attacker is a 36-year-old man. he was originally from coast of boba had permanent residency in germany. this subject first branch on the rampage on a train, passengers pushed him off, but he continued to attack people at that station injuring nine people with an ax. three of those were seriously hurt, to italian tourists and a teenage girl are amongst those injured. police say they were alerted to this attack shortly before 9:00 p.m. local time. 600 police including special units were involved in that response and the station was cornered off.

police were able to follow the suspect immediately after the attack until he jumped from a bridge near the station. he was seriously injured in that fall and is now being treated in hospital. police say they have seen evidence the suspect is a diagnosed schizophrenic. they also say he was acting alone, there is no evidence of any terrorist motive or any religious or political agenda. also according to police, the suspect has told them he wanted to be shot dead by their officers. the scale of the police response indicates just how jumpy germans authorities are about potential of another extremist attack, but police say this suspect will be charged with nine counts of manslaughter. >> shannon: kitty logan with the very latest on that attack, thank you. >> leland: pope francis always keeping things interesting, not talking about what could be a huge change for the catholic church. we are going to ask if it could attract new leaders to the faith, plus this. >> if, in fact, these documents as alleged are from the cia,

what i can say is it would represent one of the most significant compromises of national security in recent memory. >> shannon: vice president pence speaking out about the wikileaks dump and why this represents a huge compromise of national security. house intelligence committee member peter king is going to join us live. >> leland: and "time because what magazine going after president trump. their claim that he could destroy democracy as you might imagine, it is sparking outrage. >> this is the reason people -- they don't just dislike the press, they despise the press. this kind of contemptuous and condescending story on the part of "time" magazine is at the zenith of what people are disgusted by. sy to find what i . booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah.

>> shannon: is pope francis signaling that he's in the process of ordaining merryman as priest? he prefers -- married men could be -- short -- >> leland: i was in st. peter's square the night he was elected pope and people kept talking about how this is a new age of the catholic church. i don't think anybody then had

an idea of how different ideas were going to be. >> shannon: will see what comes out of it. >> leland: popes study, they think. >> shannon: he speaks most languages. it >> leland: the push to repeal in a place obamacare continues, but passing the bill is still a very heavy left. a large number of g.o.p. lawmakers are making their concerns known. republican tom cotton tweeting out this. house health care bill can't pass senate without major changes. to my friends and house, pause, start over, get it right, don't get it fast. congressman, kevin brady weighs in. good to see see you mr. chairm. >> good to see you, thanks for having me. >> leland: you look well rested after the 18 hour marathon. he pulled 27 hours and the energy and commerce committee, i'm guessing after all of that, you don't want to take the

senator from arkansas' advice and start over. >> hitting the pause button is like hitting the status quo button. i don't own it's like in arkansas, but in texas, obamacare is a terrible law. it's hurt so many people, small businesses, patients, doctors and nurses, after seven years of being ready for this moment, pausing, slowing down isn't an option. getting it right, i absolutely agree with them, that's why our first steps this week throughout the rest of this month, the house will do its work, make improvements by the way and headed to the senate who have plenty of time to do at this. i will just tell you, after seven years, obamacare collapsing and this being the wrong law, we are going to keep moving forward. >> leland: there's not a lot of argument among republicans that obamacare is, shall we say, lot of discussiona fan of.

about how to replace it. some numbers and the freedom caucus are saying wait as i, we're not even sure we can get on board with modified version you're discussing. take a listen to jim jordan. >> let's have the debate. that's how it's supposed to work. it's not supposed to be closed off. i don't know if we have one member on the committee. we didn't get away and on the committee process. when are we supposed to weigh in with our amendments on a bill that we first saw 50 hours ago? >> leland: when are they supposed to weigh in and are you worried when they do? >> i disagree with jim there. i've been working with freedom caucus members, are house conservatives, those are more moderate. by the way, it's been seven years we've been working for this day. last june, we put out republican

consensus plan that included all of these elements. by the way, 37 laws were included. that already passed to the house. we are listening very carefully. i don't think the differences are that great. when i listen to my fellow conservatives on this, i actually think there are some improvements we can make that actually hit common ground in a big way. >> leland: will see if they agree. i know they're going to be taken to the airwaves as well. quick question for you. i know later today or heading over to see the president. it is a victory lap, is it a planning session? >> this is a work session. at the end of the day, this is a clear choice. you can back president trump, repeal and replace that awful

bill, or you can support obamacare. in the meantime, we are going to listen and work and make improvements on this. i have no doubt about it. i'm pretty confident there is so much more that unites us on this bill then divides us among republicans. i met leslie am absolutely con. >> leland: appreciate your time, enjoy the weekend. >> shannon: hundreds of marines moving into syria to help in the fight against the islamic state. will the new boots on the ground be an effective move in the fight to destroy isis? >> leland: a former democratic lawmaker says he doesn't agree with president trump on very much, but he thinks the wiretapping accusations are plausible because it's something similar to him. will talk to him and see what happened up next

>> shannon: as many as 400 u.s. marines moving into northern syria to help u.s. task forces help fight isis. those forces preparing to move into the city of rock, to drive out enemy fighters out of the city. let's talk about it with dr. james mitchell . you have lawsuits against president bush. what do you think about the latest attack in syria? >> it's illegal, it's unconstitutional, only congress can make a decision to send troops into war. if you read the constitution,

think about this. this is in a civil war, these are so-called locals, these are actually radical islamists. 80,000 troops have come in from 90 different countries into syria and they want -- >> shannon: are you saying u.s. forces are aligned with that group? >> american people may not be aware of it, but we are aligning with radical islamic. this is madness. >> shannon: obviously our goal has been to go after isis, are you saying it's too difficult a situation to pick sides in that region because there are so many cross allegiances and that kind of thing? >> that's a very good point, but i'll go one step further. i'm saying that no matter who we back there, they want to

overturn a government, they want to put in a damascus with sharia law. the matter whose side we pick there, that's what they want. >> shannon: what we do about isis then? we can't just give up. >> cut off the funds. stop saudi arabia and qatar and turkey and any of these other countries from funding isis. stop giving material that help prosecute the war to groups that are aligned with isis. this is a very confusing thing for the mega people, i understand that. but we have no business being there, we ought to get out of there, it's none of the interest of the united states and furthermore, it's unconstitutional. >> shannon: you think our interests are impacted because they want to come here and defer the united states. we've already seen that. there are hundreds of cases the fbi has told us involving people who come in through the refugee program court on the subject of investigation. we can't just say, we leave it

over there and won't impact us. it sound like these people have very much a plan to not only infiltrate europe, but to come here as well. >> we have an obligation to protect our country, but one way to stop the refugees suit up the war. furthermore, we have application to protect our country, i think the policies that are more stringently reviewing those who are coming in will certainly find a way to have some alignment with america. the bottom line is that this is unconstitutional. congress hasn't approved it, no president has the right to send groups abroad without congressional approval. we weren't invited by their government, this is an illegal act of war. >> shannon: we certainly know where you stand on that. i want to get to another important story, because you're now gone public with the situation you believe the president is saying happened to him. the allegation that there is some wiretapping. there's lot there's a lot of investigations going on saying they're going to look into that. you say something similar happen to you back in 2011.

he said i can vouch for the fact that extra curricular surveillance does occur regardless of the end is officially reproved. i was wiretapped in 2011. why did you feel the need to speak out now? >> it's important, because people are saying about president trump's claim, he could never happen. friendly, it happened to me. i had proof, because "the washington times" actually let me listen to a tape that was made of a conversation in my congressional office. it was a conversation between myself and a foreign leader, the conversation was approved and cleared by house attorneys who said yes, you can do that. that's a constitutional right. someone had intercepted it. i learned about it two years after i left office. members of congress are to be aware that my experience was and a congressional office. if they can do that to a member of congress, i can certainly do it to a presidential candidate and they can do it to a private citizens as well. hello america.

>> shannon: it's really intriguing story of. if you want to read the account of how this unfolded for you, it's on the foxnews.com the opinion side. you already had some freedom of information at your request. when you found out about this and you are hopeful that you would get a response in 2012 at what actually happened. it who recorded this call, how got to "the washington times." here are five years later, no answer. are you confident that this in an interracial to the bottom of what the president's assertions are right or not? >> first of all, the request was stacked this high. i still have many of the requests that have not been responded to. yes, i think this administration are little more sensitive to the questions about the potential for intelligence to be misused and for violations of the

constitution, the fourth amendment should provide all americans with the right to privacy, unless there's some criminal activity that suspected. then you go through the court. here we are, it's a brave new world in america. >> shannon: former congressman, great to chat with you. >> leland: another big intelligence story, the white house and the vice president now weighing in on the cia wikileaks story, just how much did it compromise our national security? a big question and congressman pete king will answer that for us. a fox news alert, as we are off on wall street, the dow already up about 66 points in the first seconds. the monthly job report was released this morning after president trump's first full month in office. as you can guess, by wall street being up, the numbers were good, more on the reaction coming up next. >> we are going to bring our jobs back. we are bringing them back to our

country and we're going to create millions of new jobs down to each piece of equipment, so they can protect their teammates and the surrounding wetlands, too. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. th...oh, baked-on alfredo?e. ...gotta rinse that. nope. no way. nada. really? dish issues? throw it all in. cascade platinum powers through... your toughest stuck-on food. nice. cascade.

♪ you're unbelievab♪e >> leland: a fox news alert as the dow is off to a great start this friday morning. new jobs numbers showing good news for the economy and the first full month of the trump administration. u.s. employers adding 235,000 jobs in february and the most constructive positions in almost a decade. the unemployment rate dropping 2.47%. the so-called real employment rate coming on at 9.2%. that includes those who are underemployed, working part-time, have given up looking for their jobs altogether. as promised, wall street loving it. at the dow up about 73 points in the first five or so minutes of trading.

the >> shannon: the trump administration now weighing in on the leaking of cia documents, the wikileaks exposing methods and tactics. here is vice president mike pence on special report. >> if, in fact, these documents, as alleged, are from the cia, it represents one of the most significant compromises of national security in recent memory. the fact that this took place more than a year ago under the last administration, i can assure you, at the president's direction, we are carefully examining these validations and if proven to be true and confirmed publicly, i can assure you that no resource will be spared and holding those accountable who leaked information that could well constitute a compromise of methods and a compromise of our national security. >> shannon: congressman peter

king. good to see you. having served a long time within this intelligence framework, you know how important these methods are. how worried are you about what has been exposed? commenting one authenticity of this, but a lot of folks are. if you go we can't comment as to whether or not it's real, but the fact is if it is real, as the vice president said, this will have a devastating impact. this is one of the worst exposures, if true, of the sources and methods of our intelligence committee. i think it's time for people to realize that the leader of wikileaks is no friend of the united states. as far as i'm concerned, he's an enemy. i wish we publicans would stop saying good things about him. i think it should be indicted, i think should extradite him to the united states. it can have devastating effects to the united states. >> shannon: figure from two sides on this particular debate. one side saying, i think it's terrible, i think the market people should know, they can

manipulate these things through technology. the cia says we're not using it illegally on americans. the other side saying the cia now exposed our enemies, our friends, they'll know the methodology that we're using. it's terrible, but it's good that this information is out there so americans are well aware of the capabilities. >> every possible weapon they have they can use against their enemies. we have safeguards in place against the u.s. we make sure that abuses are not carried out. they can be carried out, but there is always a chance of tha that. you want to make sure that this is always used against the bad guys. i want to make sure that the cia has every weapon at their disposal to stop terrorism.

if we say our government is the enemy, would have real enemies across the world, that's the height of absurdity. the >> shannon: do you that's part of this leak come of this dump by wikileaks? to undermine american's confidence their government. is that part of the whole plan is that psychological impact? >> it may be. the fact is, our enemy is terrorism, our enemy is certainly overseas countries and it's important that we be able to monitor. i can assure you, they're doing everything they can to get us. we have to use every weapon at our disposal and we have to get beyond this thing and say our government is the real enemy. we need to be monitoring and make sure these abuses are not carried out. on the other hand, we have to have every weapon at our

disposal. when he told the american people what the cia can do, what you're really doing is telling al qaeda and isis and the russians on the chinese and the iranians what we can do and they can adapt and come back and kill americans and i don't want that blood on my hands. >> shannon: quickly, you talked about going after the head of wikileaks, getting him prosecuted, the vice president said no resource will be spared for holding those accountable. you think we get to him and how so? >> i think we should at least put pressure on ecuador. we told him we will take measures we can until they give him up and get them out of their embassy. the next time we see americans killed, it could be because of him. >> shannon: congressman peter king, thank you for your time today. >> leland: this story keeps getting more concerning. a massive investigation rocks

the u.s. marine corps. hundreds of marines accused of sharing naked photos of their colleagues on facebook. then there's this. >> when we win tomorrow, we are going to drain the swamp. >> shannon: is what he campaigned on, but not one of the nation's biggest newsmagazines says that by keeping that promise, he could deal a serious blow to democrac democracy. >> i get "time" magazine and when i start reading the story, i realized that i would get better and more accurate information if i sit in the checkout line at the supermarket and picked the trash he is tabloid. i threw it in the trash ♪ ♪ everyone deserves attention,

>> this is the reason that people, they don't just dislike the press, they despise the press. 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 just supporting donald trump because he's going to go and disrupt it and is long past a major disruption. >> leland: as only he can, mike huckabee slamming "time" magazine over an article called "trump's were on." there's the cover. the piece inside argues that washington is tearing down bureaucracy, it could come at the expense of democracy. to talk about it, leslie marshall and former massachusetts senator scott brown. happy friday. scott, i get that mr. trump's changing of washington can come at the expense of a whole lot of federal jobs, and perhaps some federal bureaucracy, but the

expense of democracy? >> you've got all of governor huckabee. he is always a spot on especially the coast of the sort of thing. there is -- they have a very cozy relationship with the folks who have been so-called established in washington. i try to democracy, no. a threat to the establishment for the way they've been doing things were generations almost question ? yeah, absolutely. that's why he was elected to washington, to be a changemaker. that's why wanted to vote for him. >> leland: he is doing exactly what he said he was going to do to that end. that's why the voters put them there. >> actually, a lot of trump supporters are changing their support of people who voted for

trump, because some of them are saying, i voted for you to create jobs, but i did vote for you to reduce -- or to reduce funding, or to reduce other federal programs that many in the united states -- go >> leland: you just said, create jobs. february's job numbers came in today. for the record, the dow is loving it. where is your proof now, as the dow is up 35? a lot of people are saying that they're not happy with them. >> what i find funny is when i look back historically, math is math, whether the president's democrat or republican, usually their first quarter, you have to look to their predecessor for credit or blame whether it's jobs or whether it's a robust economy. certainly, wall street is happier donald trump, but quite

frankly, you can't say that, you can't credit everything that's happening in conjunction to donald trump right now because it's too early. i can say that -- i would say that if donald trump was a democrat. >> leland: get back to this "time" magazine piece. here's a pullout from the article itself. "trump is rallying his political base against the federal agencies he oversees, thus partnering his presidency with the radical fringe. win or lose, the standoff with the engineer would diminish the credibility of the government." leslie, if you unpack this, it seems to me that anyone who wants to reduce the size of the federal government is somehow a radical fringe. is that fair? >> i think it's one interpretation, that's not how i read it or how i see it.

to governor huckabee's point, the country is very split. approximately half of the support of what the president is doing, approximately half of the 46% that voted in the past election support him and that in those policies. halftone. one of the things about "time" magazine or any magazine is a part our first amendment as people can opine based on their opinions are for or our president. when you look at some agencies, for example, like fema, there are some great concerns when we have more tornadoes, more earthquakes, and more flooding on record over the past decade. people are concerned about that when you look at just what happened in jersey a a couple of years ago. i think there is some merit to that idea that is not just the dismantling of the federal government, it's the freedom people see when they see reporters being kept out or being escorted out.

it's not just draining the swamp, people are concerned. >> leland: so many situations. it's back to this idea of the media taking on donald trump and donald trump supporters, yourself included, hitting back at what you can conceivably call the mainstream media. are we finally sort of seeing laid bare the internal prejudices, if you will, of folks like "time" magazine, "newsweek," "the new york times," and they are now, at one point, six month ago cheerleaders won a administration and now are doubling down and really taking to task the next administration? the only thing that has changed was the party that was in control. >> there is no secret that there is a media bias. i see it, you see it, the american people see it without even blinking. you can tell by the "time" magazine and a whole host of other publications, the way they continuously attacked, they're not really covering a lot of the good things are happening. for example, yesterday ivanka trump and melania trump's

dealings with women's rights. covering federal spending? are you kidding me? there like drunken sailors. you give them more, they'll spend more. $20 trillion and rising national debt. we have to do something and there's a tremendous amount of or for lap. i commend him and so did the american people for giving me a good value for our dollar. it's about time. >> leland: you'll understand this, we better run. great conversation. i'm sure it will continue over dining room table tonight. have a great weekend. the >> shannon: a legal battle over the president's new travel ban is expanding. a new slew of critics stopped in version 2.0 from actually going into effect got an estimate in 2.

"the president cannot unilaterally compare himself free and reinstate policies of this court already enjoined." at the issue will be decided by judge james robards who president trump called a so-called judge after he issued the restraining order. washington state's attorney general had a news conference couple of days ago, saying the executive order was a victory for america, then yesterday he changed his tune. >> there are still constitutional problems with the provisions of this revise executive order. the president does not get to decide if a new executive order is different enough to be clear from an underlying injunction. the court decides that. the department of justice had no comment. >> shannon: what about the trump administration? what is a go from here? >> they believe this executive order will pass. the biggest difference is a green card and visa holders are

exempt. there is also no religious mention to refugees. the house being incremented. we can have for a lot -- a week and a half rollout. >> the president set out to achieve this for the country. >> edge mention of the top, a lot of blue states are joining this effort, joining as minnesota, washington, oregon, new york all fighting under this lawsuit. >> shannon: we knew they were coming. thanks for keeping us updated. >> new details now under briefing on president trump's wiretapping claim. fbi director james comey telling lawmakers when he knows about it. check it out catherine herridge on that. plus, "fox news sunday" anger, chris wallace breaking down when it all means coming up next

>> shannon: fbi director james coming delivering a classified briefing about president trump's wiretap claims, and telling key lawmakers when he knows the matter. now we want to know everyone to help you find out as well. welcome to a brand-new hour of america's newsroom. >> leland: one more hour till friday. the gang of eight, top republicans and top democrats in the house and senate who have clearance for extensive intelligence our meeting with the fbi director in a secure location across capitol hill. catherine herridge live in washington with what we can learn from these meetings. >> the fbi director brief to the congressional leadership on the russian investigation and we were told the allegation trump towers wiretaps.

the committee's left those briefings last night without speaking to reporters. another indicator that the issue is politically charged, prior to that briefing, democrats accused dr. comey of withholding evidence. a charge that is not made by republicans. this morning, a member of the house intelligence committee said the march 20th public hearing will be an eye-opener. >> we need to see the evidence behind our government's response to those efforts. i come from a background that is evident centric. i'm not interested in summaries, i can't deal with anonymous sources, i need witnesses combining facts and i need evidence. >> the congressman said these classified leaks that have come out of the cia are jeopardizing the reauthorization of a very controversial post 9/11 surveillance program. >> leland: it seems there some agreement on that peered onto michael flynn, someone who you covered a lot as national

security advisor and then through his reclamation. now we're learning that he may have even more trouble. >> based on our reporting, there was a surveillance report for calls and text messages what the russian ambassador. that's pretty routine surveillance for the government. that's how michael flynn's phone calls and text messages were captured under that order. documents this week show that flynn registered with the justice department as an agent of a foreign government. he did that on himself. he claimed he work on behalf of turkey. >> was the president aware that michael flynn was working as a foreign agent when he appointed him to be the national secure advisor? >> i don't believe so. i would refer you to general flynn and to the department of

justice. >> flynn has been silent on the issue, but he told fox when he resigned in january or february, things are moving so fast, he told us what he resigned that he believed he was a victim of eight targeted and corrugated campaign to take him down. >> leland: probably haven't heard the last of this. catherine herridge in washingto washington. thank you. >> shannon: joining us now, for more on this, chris wallace, anchor of "fox news sunday" ." a lot of intrigue in washington, all over the white house, capitol hill, this meeting with the fbi director last night, everything has been leaking. that's a pretty tight meeting. what do you think we may or may not get out of it? >> i think at some point, we are going to find out the two big questions in one house, one, was their collusion between the trump campaign -- trump world,

i'd prefer to call it, and any associate of the trump campaign and russian intelligence hashtag collusion in terms of russian's interference with our election? of course, now we have the president's charges that the white house wiretapped his phones at trump tower. i have to say, my going supposition is my interview last week on "fox news sunday" with tom cotton, who is a member of the senate intelligence committee, he said there is no evidence of either. no evidence so far and they've been briefed of collusion between trump world and the russians, no evidence that there was any effort to get a fisa wiretap. until we get new evidence, that would indicate the opposite, there's a lot of small, but no

fire. >> shannon: is interesting that we have a bipartisan letter now coming to the doj saying we want to see what there is with regard to applications, two warrants, a fisa orders on alleged wiretapping. they made a very direct bipartisan request. do you think will bear them any fruit? >> at some point, members of the intelligence committee are going to find that out. in fact, the intelligence committee routinely can get information about fisa warrants. the key thing here, this is why some people are still scratching their head about the president's charge with regards to wiretapping of his phones, to get a wiretap, unless they can just do it illegally, i'm sure there's no evidence of that. assuming this wasn't done illegally, the justice department would have to go to the >> kennedy: in court, the foreign intelligence surveillance court and they would have to present probable cause to the judge to approve it, that either a crime was

committed, but some in trump tower was acting as a foreign agent. the white house is faced with two possibilities, either one, the president was just wrong when he accused president obama of wiretapping him, or two, he was right, and if so, what's the evidence? neither one is a good alternative. >> shannon: as you know, fisa court really says no. the police had no about 12 time times. it could be a completely legit legal thing that happened, someone went to the fisa court, said this is what we have, it was enough for them to give some kind of fisa order. it could have been completely illegal, but the same thing

could have been true that there was never any evidence that indicated anyone in trump world. >> you've got to think to yourself, just as a practical matter. if you say the fisa generally acts as a rubber-stamp. if the justice department of barack obama were to go to the >> kennedy: in court in the middle of the campaign and say they wanted to tap the nominee for president, don't you think that would have gotten a lot of scrutiny? >> shannon: one of the reports as they did try this in june. this is not but end and finally confirmed and certainly not officially. it sounds like there may have been multiple attempts. >> that's never been confirmed. we get this from very, frankly, not reliable sources, and the people who have done most of the reporting has turned out to be true on this case have not been

able to confirm that. i sure wouldn't want to go trafficking in that story. that's never been confirmed by a credible source. >> shannon: we'll see. reporting by the bbc, again, we're waiting for some kind of official answers. by the way, thank you chris and we'll see you on sunday. chris is going to sit down with gary: to talk about obamacare and tax reform. plus, ohio -- he'll explain how the g.o.p. health care will have to change. you don't want to miss it, see chris at 2:00 and at 10:00 eastern fox news channel and check your local listings for sunday.

>> leland: speaking of health care, the republican plan to replace obamacare moving one step closer to a full house vote. g.o.p. leaders including paul ryan continuing support as to house panels have no approved the new legislation that would derail much of the affordable care act. our man on capitol hill, mike emanuel therefore us. we heard about jim jordan and the freedom caucus, these divisions inside the republican party over this new bill, have they begun to agree or is there still this infighting? >> there is a fascinating moment just moments ago. members said they were out of the loop. they know it's difficult making changes to this massive health care plan. >> remember, this is concerning about how people want to do

this. people talk about wanting to repeal and go forward. you have to get 60 votes moving forward, that would be a very difficult thing to do and i believe that bill will not be as conservative as this bill. stiglitz been a lot of talk on capitol hill about doing this. some conservatives say it's time to blow up the rules of the senate and do it all right now. >> i'm for doing what needs to be done to make sure the affordable care act, obamacare, is completely repealed and replaced with something that's actually going to bring down costs for families and i represent and that we all campaigned on that simple message, the basic message, and that's sent us here to do. >> let me do it in rivalry here. a lot of folks in the senate don't appreciate folks in the house talk about blowing up senate rules to get things done. >> leland: you can imagine that. how do democrats fit into this,

in the sense that they've got to love watching all of this infighting among the republicans, but at some level, what will they have to say the very end? >> >> they are somewhat helpless because they don't have the numbers to block this, essentially they're sitting back and attacking it and enjoying the republican split and blasting the g.o.p. plan. >> is a job killer, hospitals were closed, jobs will be lost in addition to the axis of care that is there. the mess of this, people will die because of this bill, people will die. >> pelosi has called this a cruel bill, we expect more players on capitol hill to be up the street at the white house for more meetings with the president. >> leland: one of those meetings today. mike emanuel today, thanks. >> shannon: g.o.p. lock makers saying you're either with us or

against us as the fight continues to repeal and replace obamacare, what happens at the republican plan doesn't pass? fair and balanced debate coming up. >> leland: wikileaks now offering cia hacking tools to private companies like apple. now comes the big question, are they putting our security at risk? >> there is great concern that the president has about the release of national security and classified information. there's a reason we have classification levels and that's to protect our country and our people. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day.

>> leland: a fox news alert, there are new job numbers out right now and wall street is loving it this friday. up 76 points, 75 points right now. in february, 235,000 new jobs added in the most construction positions in almost a decade. this marks 50 days since president trump has been in office. the white house press secretary tweeting out "not a bad way to start day 50 of this administration." they put out talking points about what's been accomplished in the 50 days. they are talking a lot about keeping promises as a relates to adding jobs, especially construction jobs. they put out the keystone pipeline is a reason for it. >> shannon: opposition from some conservatives over

republicans health care plan, not letting up. they're wondering about the impact he could have on trump's presidency. republican senator rand paul is one of the most vocal critics. he says the fight is not about the president. >> and you say look, it's on a binary choice, you don't have my voice mr. speaker, you might imperil the term presidency. >> no, not at all. i'm a big friend of the president. you won't meet anybody who dislikes obamacare more than me. i have lived obamacare. it is a disaster. >> shannon: let's talk about it with danna lasch. you've been letting us know how you feel about this bill and how it's going down and saying basically, you think that republicans are ripping the midterms in 2018 if they don't get this right. how much danger is there? >> i think there's a lot of

danger there. i want to reiterate what senator paul said, but i wanted to get a step further. i think it's an insult. it's an insult to the american people and it's an insult to the trump administration for republicans, congressional republicans to deliver this bill to his desk. they are the ones who are endangering this new administration and i can't bold, italicized, underlined that anymore. and 2015, jim jordan had a fantastic bill that went way further than anything this bill is doing and it actually lowered prices instead of increasing prices, which is what this obamacare 2.0 bill does and i don't know why, for the life of me, they will not go back to that, because it was already on the floor. this is a swamp monster. if people are going to talk about draining the swamp, this is literally the creature from the black lagoon. the exact obamacare regulatory structure is still in place, the penalty did that and must be paid to insurance companies as they are, and for all of the awful things are an obamacare,

one white thing democrats did was include cost controls, albeit nobody liked the method in which they did it. now this obamacare 2.0 bill, republicans did away with all of that. he could actually end up costing exponentially more than the original obamacare bill dead. this is an about president trump, there's a lot of great things that he's done, just in his first month in office. for public as to deliver something like this to his desk, i'll say it, it's a giant middle finger to america, it's a giant middle finger to the trump administration, and we did not protest in the street for eight years to get obamacare lite. they better think long and hard before they try to walk something like this up to the desk. >> shannon: it is there currently. senator rand paul said that he thinks speaker paul ryan is pulling the wool over the president's eyes about the bill, how well, it's doing, how much support it has. this president is a negotiator, he's a businessman, he's used to playing this game, and he has talked a lot negotiating.

do you think he knows? this will not be the final product. are you confident there will be -- they hold the votes in their hand, because the house g.o.p. can't lose more than 21 and so the this thing moving. >> i've never had faith in d.c., but one thing i think we do have faith in, i think trump has proven to be a good negotiator. i think it's kind of insulting to the president's intelligence for anybody in congress to say we're just pulling the wool over his eyes. for crying out loud, he's been more successful than some of these people in congress, so let's not talk down to him. when i look at this, i hope that he comes to negotiate. he's negotiator on top of american people right now. he is to make sure this is negotiated better. without the individual mandate,

we are still paying a penalty to the insurance companies. we still have subsidies in this, it's still the regulatory structure, we are concerned about the out-of-control spending that's going to be in the spell. there are so many better alternatives, i don't know why they chose to jump on this landmine. i'm kittens and sunshine, i would love to see a negotiation take place. i would love to see something better for the macon people. i'll tell you this, there's alternative and i think trump is another card here. he could say, don't do anything. which i think it congressional or publicans should not do anything as of the spirit of obamacare will fail, it's already failing. we are seeing insurance company sleep about different markets in different states are crashing, it's not working. right now, if obamacare fails, democrats own it. >> shannon: we're getting cut off, always good to hear from

you. >> leland: we're going to stay off asked olivia sat in a minute, but arnold george negri set off to levee start to this liberty of pendants make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. because no one kills germs better than clorox.

>> shannon: is arnold schwarzenegger saying i will be back to politics? the former california governor may run for u.s. senate in 2016 if the actor did win, it could give him a chance to mess with the president's agenda for a few months. the two have been feuding on twitter over "celebrity apprentice." he quit the show last week. >> leland: now on to this, a harassment scandal rocking the u.s. marine corps.

active duty and retired marines showing photos online to shame and threaten their fellow female marines. the problem appears to be even worse than what was first reported. it jennifer griffin live at the pentagon without the marine corps first learned about the photo sharing. >> ed started with a facebook page called marines united, which is a group chat space used by about 30,000 active duty and former marines. reporters were tipped that the site was being used for predatory behavior to share photos, some of them purely for pornographic. the marines targeted young women marines and encouraged anyone who knew them to share photos or hack their instagram accounts. they stock these limits on social media and egg each other on to find and share photos. some taken in locker rooms and showers when the women were not aware, others shared by disgruntled former boyfriends.

now i've learned about another site, a noni.d., the same site that shared photos of celebrities. the scandal has now extended to all the service branches. >> leland: in a word, sickening. what's the response for the military overall? what's going on? a >> of the criminal national and must give service has criminal investigation. general robert miller issued -- >> when i hear allegations of marines denigrating fellow marines, i don't think such behavior is that of true warriors or fighters. right now, we all need to be focused on getting better, not hiding on social media participating in or being aware of actions that are disrespectful and harmful to other marines. a >> a group of female marines and start page called knot in my

marines, and they want legislation passed to make this a federal crime. it's not right now. erica butner is a former marine radio operator. photos were assured of her on the site in question. she said she was disgusted when she found out and encourages others to speak out. >> we will not be silenced. i'm a rate survivor, i can take this exact behavior leads to the normalization of sexual harassment and even sexual violence. >> marine corps advisors called on congress to explain this brief of good order and discipline. this after a serious recruiting issue for marines. back to you. >> leland: serious issue all over. jennifer griffin at the pentagon, more on this as we get it. >> shannon: new signs that north korea may be preparing for its next nuclear attack. the latest on what the kim

jong-un be planning. >> the president's report he planning to let obamacare fill in its own at the alternative doesn't pass. does the presidency assign a trouble ahead? mercedes and juan, next on that. >> i am calling on all democrats and republicans in congress to work with us to save americans from this imploding obamacare disaster when heartburn hits, fight back fast with tums smoothies. it starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum -tum -tum -tum smoothies! only from tums what would help is simply being able to recognize a fair price. truecar has pricing data on every make and model, so all you have to do is search for the car you want, there it is. now you're an expert in less than a minute. this is truecar.

they are looking at satellite imagery taken over the last 24 hours or so and they are seeing activity as we are seeing in the past at a site and north korea were testing has occurred. a sign, in their words, that they could conduct a new nuclear test at short notice. the regime of kim jong-un has detonated two devices last year. each also working at building up the storehouse of nuclear material, the regime capable of buildings on the lake 25 bombs according to experts. the testing has noted of missiles aimed at carrying a nuclear warhead. there were a dozen ballistic missiles last year. they're getting closer to hitting united states, all this activity banned by the united nations. >> shannon: what we know about the political turmoil in south korea? big news coming over there last night. >> huge news.

this is all in context of trouble coming from the north. chaos, politically in the south. thousands taken to the streets in the capital of south korea, seoul, some crashing with polic police. south korea's president should be removed from office. she had already been impeached last december under a variety of corruption charges including extortion and bribery. a new presidential election must be held according to the courts today in two months. they favor a softer stance towards north korea and a little bit less friendly stance towards the united states. next week, ketelsen is in the region going to seal. >> shannon: thank you very much. >> leland: new reports this morning that the white house may

be bracing for a public and health care plan failing to get out of congress. reports suggesting that the measure doesn't pass, the president hasn't said republic and so should let obamacare fell on its own. mercedes schlapp and juan williams are here to discuss it. mercedes, you've been in the white house when they been trying to push through, shall we say, controversial legislation. it is as a way do it? >> i think the way the republicans -- the president's functioning is the right way in terms of making sure that people are listening to the concerns of conservatives. he's bringing in the republicans as well to sell this plan. it's the only way to do it. obviously for the president, he runs into the other problem of having the obstructionist party, democrats, who are not going to go in line with the president.

i think it becomes challenging for the president, but this is the way the legislative process will work. the president needs to be that leader and saying we have to do this now. >> leland: it's important to sort of see how this sales pitches going. when i talk to about this before, paul ryan there yesterday with the green screen, his television screen, doing his explainers through this. it cable networks carried 23 minutes of this life. compare this, paul ryan taking a run for the bell, to nancy pelosi when obamacare was just about to be passed. >> we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it. away from the fog of the controversy. >> leland: is this sales

approach by the republicans and paul ryan coming out and taking a ready through this the right approach? >> it would be the right approach if it resulted in a comic monologue. i think, by the way, given the expedited treatment that we've seen paul ryan, the speaker and, now mitch mcconnell take with this bill leaves people to think this is a repeat of pass the bill and we'll find out what's in it. i just want to make a larger point to come back to mercedes on this about president trump saying if this is an pass, we'll just let it fail and let it explode. i think republicans have already in so many ways cut off advertising so for new

enrollees. they will be held responsible especially by their voters who said you promise to this. >> leland: how big is the thawed if this hits the ground? if the president is unable to ram mr. congress when you have a republican house, you have republican senate, and the thing that he hasn't said as number one priority is guaranteed will pass. >> as president trump would say, it's huge. their political capital is the first 100 days. if they do not pass this through, the american people, those who have voted and republicans, they have been asking for appeal and replace since 2010. they need to deliver. if they don't, they will pay the price. >> but they do repeal without replace -- >> no, they have to do both. >> we'll be no more replacement, what strikes me, trump voters, a

lot of them, older white people who live away from the cities. according to the -- would be here by this plan. >> for the low income individuals, this is something many republican senators are putting out there basically saying you need to make sure that the states have flexibilities, they are asking for that medicaid expansion, which is a topic of controversy for conservatives. this is where negotiations are going to take place, and we'll see where it falls. it's going to be hard for them to pass the senate then it will be to pass in the house. >> leland: you guys hardly need to be here for the conversation. happy weekend to both. safe travels back to d.c. >> shannon: wikileaks revealing with the cia can hack into your ipad, your smartphone, even your tv. now the group's founders offering to give those hacking tools to silicon valley.

unfazed. the boy eventually calm down and evidently headed the bouquet over. you kind of wonder if she had some experience with this. >> shannon: this had to be the mom's worst nightmare. you never know with a toddler, but snap time. the >> leland: do you wonder what the queen was saying? >> shannon: eventually he did what he was supposed to do it was hannah's flowers to her. >> leland: now he has a video prove it. >> we decided to work with them, give them some exclusive access to the additional technical details, so that fixes can be developed and pushed out so people can be secured. >> shannon: the founder wikileaks now offering what it claims rca hacking tools, technical details to apple before releasing them to the

public. that's raising all sorts of legal and ethical questions. one of them as does this put u.s. security at risk? good to see you again. these groups, a couple of them have spoken out publicly to say we have channels of someone he wants to report a problem to us, we take it in that way. he's making a very public offer. do you think it's crazy that any of these companies would want the information and cooperate with him question or your advic advice? >> wikileaks makes its money by stolen secrets. i would be highly suspect about approaching them and loading any kind of melt away mall where to provide you, because it could be a honey trap. it could be one of those things where they're trying to put additional software that would

allow for cyber hacking. i would be cautious about that. i think what we are caught up in is this arms race. it's in escorting arms race of hacking that has come in part because we continue to romanticize these hackers, as if they were somehow heroes instead of traders and criminals. >> shannon: i want to read something that senator said yesterday. he said julian should spend the rest of his life wearing an orange jumpsuit. he is an enemy of the american people and an ally to vladimir putin. he dedicated his life to endangering innocent lives, soaking in christ of a confidence in the west. i'm sure that's how you see him too. >> that's exactly how i see him. the problem is we now have in place, inside of our government, people who have high security clearances who can be trusted. either that or we have such

lousy software that we can't protect ourselves. it was congress come up with them in jail, if it's government employees, put them in jail, if it's breaches, improve your equipment. one of the things i've noticed is that the federal government lags behind the commercial world in terms of their access to most updated technology and we just need to get a hold of that. >> shannon: he said it was devastating incompetence on the part of the cia. sean spicer the white house said they realized, the president knows they need to do some makeovers, they have to update some things, this cannot be allowed to happen again. how much pressure is there now internally on the cia and other intelligence agencies to make sure they're closing every potential loophole out there? >> i think a tremendous mount of pressure. the mastermind of 9/11 said they would be able to hit us again with another catastrophic

attack, because we were going to set aside those protections that kept us safe immediately after 9/11 and of the press would help them either willingly or unknowingly by making it seem like we were spying on everyone and doing other things that were somehow underhanded. we gotta be careful of that we don't be so politically correct. who's shocked that the cia is spying on people question markets what they do. it's like being surprised that the post office delivers the mail. >> shannon: let me ask you this question now. when the cia does find rope vulnerabilities and some of these technologies and companies, they can use them to spy on that. the cia says were not using us illegally on americans. do they have an obligation to share with apple, microsoft, samsung, we found this loophole and we're going to use it to look at bad guys, but we are going to let you have the information so you can protect the rest of your customers. does that confirmation happen, should it happen?

>> if what you do is youevery ve high dollar government agencies find in software, then they're going to pass that and that arms race -- the ironic part about this whole thing as a fellow who has been criticized more than once or twice about doing interrogations is that by undermining our ability to surveilled people without any kind of intrusion on them, you think guys like me would be much more viable. it's crazy to do this. we should be happy that the cia and other intelligence communities have these ways of surveilling people instead of fearful of them. >> shannon: our intel community works around the clock. a lot of good people who have been plugged in and you've done work that is good as well. thank you. >> leland: great interview and
