welcome to america's news headquarters in washington. i am the lord angle and four elizabeth prann. leland: i am transfixed. as to be with you. the house committee investigating president tribes claim now wants evidence to back up the accusation. both parties of the house intelligence committee said in a letter to the white house say they want proof by tomorrow. kristen fisher live from the north lawn. are they sweating the white house were taken this in stride? >> will find out by tomorrow. right now there are two big outstanding question. the first question is will the white house comply with this request to give the committee evidence about the wiretapping allegations by tomorrow and

second, the second, to study evidence actually exist? today the top democrat on the house intelligence committee says he doesn't think so. >> i don't expect we'll see any evidence of this either. i agree with timecard. one of two possibilities here. the president quite deliberately for some reason made up this charge are perhaps more disturbing the president really believes this. reporter: the charges former president barack obama ordered the wiretapping of trump tower during the election. the former president has led the charge. so as the current fbi director reportedly asked the justice department to publicly reject the president's claims. congressman schiff plans to ask about it directly when he testifies before the full committee later this month. republicans have also been very critical of president trump on this issue. just today, john mccain said thursday road need for congress

to investigate these wiretapping allegations. here is why. >> i've no reason to believe the charge is true, but i also believe the president of the united states could clear this up in a minute. polyester do is pick up the photographs have been a minute. call the cia, director of intelligence because they certainly should know whether the former president of the united states was wiretapping towers. >> the president has asked the congress to look at that which is interesting because the president could himself asked that question. >> senator mccain for president tribe can either retract his claim or provide proof to both congress and the public to back up that claim. we'll see what president trapped inside especially with the very first deadline set for tomorrow. leland: kristen fisher along with john roberts watching.

>> just over halfway through his first hundred days the president trump faces opposition on a key legislative item from the repealing of replacing obamacare. administration defending the plan on political talk shows today of signaling president trump open to improvement. garrett county here with the latest. >> they are seen another side of the president as this plays out. the businessman fiona curd cheese. the two sides in this case or the republican leadership in congress and conservative members of the house for dukakis who criticize the gop plan for replacing obamacare is not going far enough. face the nation, kentucky senator man paul or his republican leadership doesn't listen to their concerts and won't enough votes to pass. >> if we can do with proper ride, he will not have the votes and we have to get to that point before true negotiations began.

right now everybody's been nice to everybody because they want us to vote for this. >> paul ryan tried to downplay those concerns are that ultimately he believed the bill will make it through. >> when you're a governing party get a consensus among your wide big tent party, everybody doesn't get what they want. but we are getting much better policy here. we made a promise to the people who elected us we would repeal and replace the flawed and said this we replace it with the now we keep our word. >> president chavez put his full sample of approval of the plan but also indicated he's open to any ideas or suggestions to improve it. they've indicated plenty of suggestions on how to improve the bill improve the ability ahead to the white house on tuesday for a night of pizza and bowling with the president. >> a long road ahead of us. more to come. thank you so much.

>> someone who might have a few suggestions of his own. the great state of california and also the state's former insurance commissioner. nice to see you, congressman. >> good to be with you. >> how do you feel getting the stronger for the white house and house leadership on this one? >> they are certainly played an insider game trying to round up votes for their own idea how to improve health care in the united states. the president said clearly he would repeal and replace them see that everybody would have coverage of the affordable. that's absolutely not the case with what is presently going on in washington d.c. >> fair to say that's too light for the price of blood in the sense that everyone will be covered in cheaper? >> absolutely true. you will pay more for less. there's a huge, very serious tax cut, perhaps $700 billion tax cut over the next 10 years goes

to the super wealthy and upper 20% of america's income. it's certainly not going to be better for the average american. they will pay more, get less. >> and try to square the circle. this into the administration is certainly tom price, one of your former colleagues in the house, arguably one of the big experts when it comes to health care said this. >> will be worse off financially. >> i firmly believe nobody will be worse off financially in the process they were going through understanding what choices they can collect the coverage they want. >> that's a pretty bold statement. no one will be worse off financially. he might hearken back to the promise we heard if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. >> this is a promise not going to be kept. it wasn't kept radiophonic

ministration because the nature of health care and insurance is such that the insurance companies change the.yours. in this case we are looking at something -- don't take my word for it. take the arp. it it very clear that those people 50 and older will get hammered by the proposal. first of all, the range of prices available for a 20-year-old 25-year-old is one to five. presently it's one to three. you can charge three times more under the current law and charge five times more for a 50 to 65-year-old. that is hampering somebody. those people of that area and simultaneously the credit for the tax credits available for people in that age group are significantly less than they are under the affordable care act to obamacare. trump care is a real downer, a real decline for people of

different age groups. if you take a look at the medicaid program, postcode of seniors in nursing homes, often in very significant health care issues. they will see a significant reduction. >> unappreciative if you've been so candid and really to hear dire warnings for people of their own party about something and leadership of their party is championing. certainly warnings like this about something the white house is championing in the same party. i'm interested. air force one would make a lot of noise if it comes to dq comes to did yuba city in your district. are you worried about president trump st. lauren, one of the guys who came out against this. i will back somebody primarily. >> let it happen. i represented the entire state of california for 12 years as the insurance commissioner lieutenant governor. the people in my district want

to know what is happening at the bottom line. the truth of the matter is trump care is worse than obamacare in many ways. i know people in my district don't want to see super wealthy getting a huge tax cut. 400 families in america receive a $700 billion reduction in their tax care. the top 1% with a 57%. >> of all the content or 15 seconds left. i talked to your colleague yesterday. chairwoman of the budget committee said we've got the votes. i'm willing to stick their neck out and say this is going to happen. we've heard similar guarantees for the vice president about others. is this thing really going to fail? >> well, it may or may not pass, but if it does and will be a failure for the american public. a very serious decline in

available services and the cost of health care to individuals will significantly increase. we will see mental health or drug abuse programs eliminated or significantly reduced in trump care. it is bad news. republicans are determined to pass it. i suspect we'll see in the next election a real kick back for the american public say you promise commuted the liver but to give us a sham. lauren: leland: blunt is always good wish you safe travels. second california for an extra couple days. >> that would be a terrible tragedy to stay here in good weather. good to see you. laura. lauren: what to expect this week is the health care continues. you want to bring in our guest on sat. political editor at national journal, welcome to you. harsh words there we just heard on this. you write your latest article at

essential to understand the divided the republican party to get a grip on what's happening in the battle. a lot of pressure on republicans who are against it. i want us all to take a look at the ads run in, now targeted congressman to their own districts. watch. be that the itself correct versus obamacare. about a careful job discerning mandates. do plan to liquidate them. obamacare puts bureaucrats in control. republican plan puts patients a doctor's insurance. obamacare puts families for storage of transferring premiums. >> repeal and replace obamacare. >> congressman rocard yesterday. this is running in his district. this is a good way to put pressure on. what do you make of it? >> these are the most conservative members of the

house. at over only overwhelming shares, but also ran ahead of most of these republican members. you would likely see trump put the full-court press on a lot of conservative members. the odds are the legislation will pass to the house. paul ray does he can lose the freedom caucus the only be the third to get the legislation through. he can lose some or most of the members of august i do agree. >> will try to file a blog. implications for 2018 at the gop votes for the bill. listen to what senator tom cotton later. >> i would say to my friend for the house of representatives but to my serve, to not walk the plank and vote for a bill that cannot pass the senate and have to face consequences of the vote. if they vote for this bill, they will put it at risk next year.

>> was your reaction to that? >> the house majority is at risk. the reality is it's a lot tougher to pass it to the senate because mitch mcconnell could only lose to republican votes. in the senate you have conservative members like grandpa, ted cruz, blakely say they don't know if they can support the legislation. rob portman, lisa murkowski who also want the bill to be more moderate than medicaid fits the bill would phase out could mitch mcconnell has a herculean task. you can lose the right or middle that will make it a lot more challenging. leland: how much effort at political capital latrobe put it? we're looking at what he treated so far this weekend. >> this is the $64,000 question. donald trump loves to use twitter. he hasn't done it a lot so far

as we try to push paul writes legislation. will he do campaigns and rallies next week? will he do more of that? will he uses twitter account to challenge members of congress who does support legislation. he's got political capital to spend. how aggressively will he push the legislation? >> is their hesitation? >> bipeds with another who push grandpa to support it. the fact that trump himself to the gulf, had vice president goes aside he's still trying to figure out how much political capital to spread. leland: we also take a look at paul ryan and how he's doing. people talking about the presentation he gave this week. his speakership has been challenged along the way. so what happened to this topic have the votes on it or what if it does and he gets the votes in an enclosed, then what? >> they have more to lose than president trump.

that's how he gets the legislation flu. to make up his majority, they cut the margin republicans currently have. paul rankin cap intraparty fight. he can't try to appease the right in a leading or moderate members his coat pockets. the people attacked her sticks are largely supportive, but if it gets messy they could find some political vulnerabilities as well. >> you could attend her party's rudyard d.c. when people say around the water cooler? >> the odds are the legislation goes through the house. the senate is just very difficult. the odds are tougher. lauren: thank you for being here today. appreciate your move. back to you. leland: media meltdown. my dismissal of the federal prosecutor and dozens of others appointed by president obama is

>> the fallout continues over president trump's firing of a high profile new york

prosecutor. someone just this past november says he was asked his day at the job by a president elect trump. rob schmidt joins us live from new york with the latest on this would. >> yeah, as someone saw that continues today. this is being blown way out of proportion. some one with another attorney foster john. berber triggerman standard operating procedures. preet bharara had to be fired to matter more complex was to be viewed at trump tower in late november after the election when mr. trump asked them to stay out under his administration. preet bharara has been successful in other parts of the southern district of new york. taken on corruption cases against politicians who said they were attachable. democrats alleging mortgages removal of their just entered politics. three watchdog groups asked

subtwo to investigate possible conflicts of interest in this new role as president. this word a comic and leisure companies, ranking member of the house oversight committee tried to insinuate a connection between that and the trump team later that week asking for resignation. >> i'm curious as to why that is and certainly a lot of questions coming up as to whether mr. trump is concert about the jurisdiction of the u.s. attorney and whether that might affect his future. >> the jurisdiction also a trump tower is located. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren treated out bill donald trump talk about a corruption of of government that wants a bunch of prosecutors who want to investigate him. this morning on cnn, senator

john mccain defended the president. >> elections have consequences. so people to complain about it. worried two presidencies and i think the president has every right to ask for resignations. >> the obama administration did this. no real update, just retaining the update politics as usual. >> i heard newt gingrich collate all the way back to abraham lincoln. the u.s. attorney received the go under his watch. thank you so much for that remark. >> a little more on this in the media outrage. let's bring in our political panel, head of research and actually republican strategist at goldman state consultant. good sunday to you.

as the media outrage over this a little rich to dissent that there wasn't a lot of outraged bitter cold or asked for the resignation of bush appointees back in 2009? >> it's a no-brainer. political appointees, no different than a ceo commented that one of different answer to you. i think it's getting blown out of proportion. >> i would assume you agree president trump believes has the right to ask for the resignation of these folks. >> absolutely. the way he went about it is a bit odd. i don't think for presidents that were the u.s. attorney to stay on and then sat actually you should be out in five minutes with basically no warning. took a pretty fired tweedy he refused to resign and had to be fired. it is standard practice in this way. preet bharara had a strong

reputation with republicans and democrats as an independent prosecutor. the reporter had read before this. this is where it made sense he would get to stay on this was that the president's right to do it. the timing is a little strange and trump tower within his district as the antitank site russian money-laundering and is obviously gone after wall street types. >> does this open up the administration and democrats are making somehow this was a political move to specifically take out this prosecutor who are uncomfortable for the administration. >> it gives the democrats more of that conspiracy theory are outlandish. he's an executive pair one of the things he would have a problem with this political appointees started to feel a title. it used to be honorable. but there is the due administration cap he stepped

down and asked to resign. the entitlement has gone way too far and is by all means within his rights education and to the the right thing and step down. obviously no one is refuting on either side of the aisle. why do you think of november he said he wanted subtwo to say? >> though it has the right to change their mind. [inaudible] >> i think that's absolutely within the jurisdiction. the entitlement that these employees have has gone too far. >> there's probably a lot we don't know we don't know it turns that interaction with the justice department and the new attorney general. we did find this is perhaps a rich bit of history for this which was a letter for janet

reno then attorney general under president clinton in 1993 today and u.s. attorney jeff sessions. now the attorney general asking him to resign once president clinton took office. mr. sessions was president h.w. bush appointees. moving on to the other big story, coming into my day is what kristin fisher talked about at the beginning of the show. the house intelligence committee sending a letter to the white house for the chairman of the making of her say put up or shut up when it comes to the wiretapping accusations by the president. what is the next move for the white house? did they say we don't have anything or make the committee cited on a road? >> i think this is a brilliant move by president trump and the administration. for so long we've heard about russia as i have pointed out we will start talking about wiretapping. number two, probably happy.

the obama administration at "the associated press" and fox news reporter so we know that wiretapping is already at issue and basic definition happens all the time. if this intelligence community on notice. they'll have to start investigating the intelligence community and they really gave them a lot of power in this position. >> lacerated i don't know how u.k. power by potentially line about something that's serious. >> i don't see why fly when obama has proven to do it time and again. >> you are saying right now president obama wiretapped the president without any evidence you've seen. he had an executive order that basically gave the intelligence community american citizens without personal information paperback did and that in itself

is a wiretapping. leland: will leave it there and see what comes from the executive branch and in answer to the letter tomorrow. jesse, ashley, have a great rest of the day. quick programming note. a lot more politics to come after the show, more politics with this man, jim jordan, republican of ohio. cohasset things to say about his own party's health care bill. 2:00 p.m. eastern right here on fox. >> several government agencies could be on president trump's chopping block as he prepares his budget. they could face the deepest cuts. it is a time of year. going green beach showing off some irish pride. how one city is prepared for a major st. patrick's day celebration. unlike ordinary diapers, pampers stay up to three times drier,

just as the treasury department began to exert extraordinary measures to regulate government that. donald trump putting finishing touches on proposed budget which includes a lot of cuts and a lot of spending increases. therefore little in dirt, columnist at the hill. good to see you. how much of this budget that we will see late this week, early next is the art of the deal. as president trump putting out what it ought to have been not necessarily what he'll settle for. >> i think that's quite characteristic of what presidents do here. this is really the opening bid to use your analogy. i don't think the president expects everything seems asking for here partly because some of

the things are quite unpalatable. >> .only two democrats in terms of major cuts to social programs but a lot of the programs they talk about cutting our think that trump voters in appalachia take advantage of, be it food stamps, free and reduced lunches for kids. how is that going to play baby that appear to come about paducah. >> that's a great question that goes to the fact that this is strictly different from the republican base as is often perceived. a lot of lower-income americans have people who are dependent on some form of the government systems. >> 40% of americans have some form of government. you have to imagine a percentage of those. >> the key point to reduce the size of government in the abstracted telecoms to take this away from you.

>> except tablet helps me. it's interesting how the president is getting a face. republicans want to go after a title that programs. medicaid, medicare, go after other sort of major big ticket items. you have a president essentially saying i'm going to make all these cuts would save money only looking at about 30% of the budget. only so many $500 toilet seats you can order. >> medicare and social security make up an enormous part of the budget. you put all those three together here at about 60%, 70% of the budget. take out a military spending to increase. >> you are talking about cuts made to a quarter of the overall pie. if you're trying to get all the cuts for the quarter, obviously you have to cut more deeply that the discretionary that you might

otherwise. leland: how does this play into the debate on health care? this is going to pass. this is our number one priority. we are going to keep our promise. at the same time, they will have this budget they hated out, but they are already putting up for democrats and some republicans to take shots of that. >> they expect to use use the health care proposal and that could be very dangerous for republicans. both of these issues play into the fact there are fiscal in the republican party had quite uncomfortable. >> we heard that on fox news. more of the interview later. do you get the sense from the white house versus the day of average oz. >> one of the interesting

things. they would negotiate out things, that will be phased out. somewhat a contrast to speak or write his telegraph eat flexibility. >> we heard back from the head of the club for growth yesterday stated that what the president were pleasantly surprised by the idea of let's make a deal. i'm willing to compromise. we will see what happens on the budget. good talking to us always. thanks, niall. lauren: general jack keane is here to talk about president trump promised to back that i says in his decision to send more troops into syria. >> urc in a comprehensive approach to engaging syria, but the total defeat and elevation of isis. it's good to be in, good hands.

>> actually considerably more than that. what actually has taken place here, we've been involved for two and a half years. in those two and a half years, we have made 12 incremental troop increases to her participation in iraq and syria. this is all going back to the fact that we never had a campaign plan to defeat isis. the joint chiefs, he spoke to of them two days ago. they've been working for two months of the campaign plan for the first time that deals comprehensively with defeat isis that iraq is area, but also undermining finances and their committees and 30 plus countries. this is the first time they've done it. who we are just seeing the initial installments. >> what about the proposal of 1000 american soldiers to kuwait to serve in a reserve force.

blog, building by building that is layered with ieds, by its coveted traps. very tough, very good indeed. du shields to protect them from their prior -- air power. iraq is syria much to say. >> i want to ask you about this i did a trump's proposed budget and will make a difference with the right amount. would you think about funding for this? >> his initial proposal is inadequate. we need round numbers with $100 billion a year for four years to get us out of this incredible hole. the previous administration in terms of readiness of forces coming capabilities we truly be. they say that the united states army is at high risk to win a conventional war. no one has ever said that in 40 years. >> i wonder what you get total

calls, would calls, when we hear calls, when we hear the news that people call you, we call you if they help us understand, how do you tell the american people. how do you explain serious this is beyond what you can comprehend what you see the videos and pics that most of us don't even see outside. >> it comes to prepurchase. trading of preparedness to fight. 50% to 75% of the aircraft we fly are not ready to fly. that depends which service to talk about. but the combat brigades the united states army has come to 15 combat brigades to the lie chair beside it. only three could go to work today. those are credible numbers. they should be headlines. if such a serious problem. the other thing is we have fallen behind technology wise. the gap has closed on us. lauren: very interesting. thank you for your new piercing a good talking to you.
