8:03 pm
jesse: this is the man who wrote "the art of the deal." some conservatives in the house have concerns that the bill does not repeal obamacare far enough. is the president listening to these concerns and ceding ground? >> he had a great session earlier wednesday with leaders of the conservative group like club for growth and freedom works. folks who represent millions of grassroots individuals who voted for donald trump over hillary clinton. the president is listening, but he's also listening and educating. this is a three-prong approach. prong one, getting rid of all the taxes and mandates and penalties. opening up the health savings account. second phase is the regulatory
8:04 pm
framework for secretary price at hhs can with his pen do an awful lot of good that guts the regulatory stranglehold that's obamacare. phase three has the goodies that people are waiting for. buying insurance overstate lines the way people buy their life insurance and auto insurance. small businesses around the country can join together and get healthcare. jesse: what is the beef some conservatives have with the president trump healthcare plan? >> some of them want to go back to the 2015 legislation which left pieces of obamacare in place. there are millions of people who rely on the exchanges now. he committed in his joint session speech. he said he wanted to make sure there was a smooth transition
8:05 pm
for people already on the exchanges. jesse: some of the conservatives don't like the fact they will have a soft landing? >> i don't think they want to harm people. they want to make sure this is a repealing and replacement of obamacare. everything obamacare promised did not happen for americans. affordable care. you can't pay the premiums so you pay the penalty. jesse: what is the name of this legislation? >> american healthcare act. he's a branding expert. at the beginning of "art of the deal," he says think big. obviously he does and he has and will continue to. i would also back up and talk about medicaid. that's something that will be reformed here as well. jesse: i want to get into something that happened earlier. some member of congress said

kind after nasty thing about you in the oval office. we are not going to show the picture because we don't need to. let's show what this democratic congressman had to say about you, kellyanne. >> kellyanne in the picture on the sofa. i want to know what was going on there. because, you know, i won't tell anybody. and you can just explain to me that circumstance because she looked kind of familiar in that position there. jesse: the congressman apologized as he should have. >> not to me. jesse: did you accept his apology? >> sure, i believe in christian mercy. i wonder in this age of everyone living online, is your an apology an apology if you don't talk to the person?
8:07 pm
but i know what this is about. i didn't know we were on a first-name basis. jesse: it was over the line. nancy pelosi was asked to condiment and that's what she said. >> you are criticizing cedric for something he said in the course of the evening. maybe he should be criticized, i just don't note particulars. jesse: she is suppose to be a:00 p.m. feminist. she is supposed to come on your side. >> i'm a 50-year-old married mother of four and he shouldn't say it about anybody, let alone somebody who doesn't know. it's a double -- a triple standard. it's a double standard if you are not a liberal woman and a triple standard if you are pro-life and don't call yourself a feminist. jesse: does it bother you at all? >> not at all.
8:08 pm
big country out there. jesse: a tale of two first ladies. ladies. melania and hillary squa

8:10 pm
so how old do you want uhh, i was thinking around 70. alright, and before that? you mean after that? no, i'm talking before that. do you have things you want to do before you retire? oh yeah sure... ok, like what? but i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement? we're absolutely doing that. but there's no law you can't make the most of today.
8:11 pm
what do you want to do? i'd really like to run with the bulls. wow. yea. hope you're fast. i am. get a portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change. investment management services from td ameritrade. >> we are dealing with seditious people within the department of justice and the f.b.i. and the department of interior and the cia. >> we are in a civil war situation. the democrats adopted the slogan resist. >> leaders of classified documents are actively committing treason. >> leaks turn from trivial to potentially preonous it's clear the president is fighting an enemy from within. joining me now too discuss this -- to discuss this is michelle malkin.
8:12 pm
michelle, do you see this as a benedict arnold situation? are we going to have to hang someone pretty soon? >> not hang them. but i think they need to be ex posed and i certainly agree with congressman hunter and david horowitz that we are dealing with the term that's being used is deep state. and there are deep state operatives embed in every corner of the federal government. that was always part of the plan, i think. and the guidebook they play by are agitation, block, and it is not only symbolic, it's literal that he has not left the beltway web's running that apparatus it's not a mistake that valerie jarett is shacked up in that clearing house.
8:13 pm
and c, chaos. that's the ultimate goal of agitating within the federal government. jesse, it's going to be a full-time job for people within the trump administration to root these people out. jesse: do you believe the obama people and the holdovers are leaving too many fingerprints on this and this could boomerang and blow up in their face? >> i hope so. that's why it's so important for the president to be as joke am as he has been in condemning this treachery within the federal government. as many obama imprinted operative as there may be, this is a problem that precedes the trump administration. particularly in the state department. with these foggy bottom bureaucrats who do not represent
8:14 pm
the united states, but every other special interest but the united states. these are encrusted lifelong bureaucrats. this is the kinds of elitist infrastructure that people who voted for trump want out of the federal government it's a systemic problem. jesse: he made so many enemies leading up to his victory it moms wonder people are so angry. international women's dayed this week. first ladies and former first ladies going at each other a little bit. let's look at what hillary clinton had to say about women's day. >> there is a lot to fight for, plant parenthood, healthcare were jobs, every issue is a woman's issue to stand up, resist, be a champion. jesse: now we have melania saying this.
8:15 pm
as an immigrants myself having groin in a communist society, i know all too well the value of freedom and opportunity, the foundation of this great country. if you frame those two statements against each other, it's my idea, coming from where melania came from, a soviet block, it carries so much more weight to say this is real oppression, not these small ball issues hillary is saying we need to resist in this country. do you agree? >> i absolutely agree with you. i think it contrast between these two images of what so-called feminism is is very striking. i have to wonder how it is that after losing so misa sphwhri twice now, that hillary clinton
8:16 pm
believes she presents an attractive vision and ideology to young women. it's birth, it's resentful and she looks like an overland college undergrad shake her 50s in a dormitory. the idea that this woman is sounding a dog whistle to extreme feminists. a few weeks ago she was at a women's conference where she said the future is female. and these are the people who embrace the radical death lobby of planned parenthood where so many unborn females have no future at all. jesse: michelle, happy women's day. i'm glad we all can celebrate that day.

jesse: "watters world" frequently dives into new things. we maded top the rode ohio to see what texans think about america first. but first i had to saddle up. how texas do i look right now?
8:21 pm
>> you look pretty good. you need some boots, though. >> what are you wearing? >> can you dance in these things? this is my first cowboy hat. what are you look to do? >> you wants the best beaver constant hat you can afford. people say my head hasn't grown. what do you think about my hat? >> i love it. i think you are absolutely texas. jesse: what do you think of my hat. >> you have got to jerk on it a little bit. doesn't that look better? >> you just hold on to that horn and you will be fine. jesse: the most important rule is keep "watters world" safe. can we do that? okay, okay.

jesse: do you believe in america first? >> i do. >> america is first. i'm an american, man. jesse: you are first inm in my book. when trump says america first, what does that mean to you? >> we need to support the american way of life and bring jobs back here. >> we have been taking care of other countries for so long, and it's time to take care of ourselves. >> it's time to stop meddling in other people's business and take care of our own. jesse: the radical left-wing protesters resisting the president at every turn. what should we do with them? see you don't know, they are not really in houston, we don't have a problem. >> i think if they don't like it here they should go where they want to be. >> if they are on any kind of

8:27 pm
good evening i'm kelly wright with an extreme weather alert. the northeast is bracing for what could be lynn winters last hurrah. the estimated time of arrival is late tomorrow night and will continue tuesday afternoon with heavy winds and blizzard -like conditions. forecasters say this system is likely to stretch from d.c. to new england. they might see as much is 2 feet of snow and coastal flooding. a bipartisan group of lawmakers to the trump administration, the house intelligence committee wants trump to provide evidence that his phone at trump tower were wiretapped by order of his predecessor. the committee wants the proof by tomorrow. president trump tweeted his allegation on march 4. security officials have denied the accusation. i'm kelly wright in washington. now back to "watters world".
8:28 pm
jesse: fake news and real news. americans are confused and rightfully so about the obama administration allegedly wiretapping trump tower. january 2 ought "new york times" published a headline that read, quote, wiretap data used in inquiry of trump aide. michael schmidt writes that they are using wiretapped information and the wiretapped communications have been provided to the obama white house. the "new york times" reports the obama white house knew there were people wiretapping trump world. it sounds like what president
8:29 pm
obama tweeted about, right? but after the trump tweet march 4, now here is the "new york times" headline. trump offering no evidence says obama tapped his phones. the headline was written by the same writer, michael schmidt. people look at the headlines and wonder is the "new york times" not a good enough source. november 15 a woman in michigan reported to police she was attacked by a man who scratched her in the face. she claims it was a hate crime following the election of donald trump. it turns out she scratched herself in the face. she was depressed and made up the story. the number four or possibly 8 years will be eye opening because "watters world" will show how they cover the same
8:30 pm
thing differently. jason chaffetz received negative press when he said this about the healthcare bill. >> americans have choices. rather than getting that new iphone maybe they should invest in their own healthcare. jesse: he received wall to wall coverage on cable network for the so-called gaffe. but i remember another politician saying the same thing and receiving zero negative press attention. >> what i would say is if you looked at that person's budget and looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill and other things they are spending on, it may turn out just they haven't prioritized healthcare because right now everybody is healthy. nobody wants to spend money on health insurance. jesse: he said the same thing. but when a republican says it
8:31 pm
it's a gaffe. ben carson said this a few days ago. >> that's what america is about. a land of dreams and opportunity. there were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships that worked even longer and harder for less. jesse: it was called inaccurate and racially charged. >> it wasn't easy for those of african heritage who had not come here voluntarily yet in their own way were immigrants themselves. jesse: so you see there is a different standard when democrats say something because the press is in the tank. now for the real news this week. things you may not have heard about much because you have been overwhelmed with fake news. illegal border crossing down 40%
8:32 pm
in trump's first month in office. that's way more than the 10% homeland security normally sees this time of year. big-time gains for american jobs and wages. 235,000 jobs were added in the month of february following 238,000 in january. the best back-to-back rise since july. president trump will be judged on his performance in office so keep these numbers in mind. remember how department shores were dropping ivanka trump's fine due to low performance? since then her clothing sales increased 346%. here is a story the mainstream media completely buried. remember how the irs was caught targeting the tea party and lost or destroyed mountains of evidence? two years later the irs curiously located 7,000
8:33 pm
documents. but not a smidgeon of corruption. of course, not. and we have no timeline for when the documents will be released. ridiculous. the bottom line is the media continues to complain americans don't trust them. i think these examples i just showed are just reasons why. so until the media reports fairly, accurately, corrects the record and stops burying positive news for donald trump. trust in the press will continue to he rhode. you can always trust watters 7 words to tell you the truth. joining me now. someone who always tells it like it is. former arkansas governor and fox news contributor, mike huckabee. mike, tell me what you think of the memo i just laid out. >> i always liked you, but i'm disappointed. you are such a cynic. how dare you think the media is covering donald trump
8:34 pm
differently than they covered barack obama? where would you get such a notion like that. jesse: it must be the fumes in the studio. >> something happened to you, my friends. the media hates donald trump almost as much as they loved obama. for 8 years we had them slobbering all over themselves an could do no wrong. now we have a president who was elected by a lot of the people that have been snubbed and held in contempt and spoken to in condescending tones by the national media, and they elect donald trump and the media still can't figure out how totally disgusted most of america is with their bias and sense of privilege and their sense of complete inaccurate reporting. they are just sick of it. jess rrp jorge ramos said this
8:35 pm
on tucker carlson's show. >> many people who supported donald trump they think it's a white country and they are absolutely wrong. this is not a white country, it is not their country. it is ours. jesse: our country. what did you make of that? >> it's a racist statement pure and simple. think about this for a moment. he says it's our country, it isn't a white country it's a country made up of people who are white and brown and black and red and yellow it's not a color country it's a country people who commit to living under the social contract, the constitution and it has nothing to do with anybody's color. when jorge ramos says something like that, it's a statement of racism. if i said it's a white country and we'll have to get used to it.
8:36 pm
i would they ever be on tv again. jesse: you would be band forever. i would have to help you pack your bags. i don't know how he thinks he understands what trump voters are saying. trump voters are not saying it's a country of legal citizens, not illegal immigrants. what bothers me is when ramos says this country should be a melting pot, then five seconds later, actually, it's my pot. you can't have it both ways. >> the whole idea of america being a melting pot is the flavors are blends together. that's what it means. we melt into one country. out of many, one. weigh's description is out of one, many. let's accept rate everybody into racial silos and cultural silos.
8:37 pm
that's not what america is. america is a great country because of the immigrants who have come here. but one thing they always brought was a desire to assimilate into this country and embrace the as their own and be american. american doesn't mean you are whites or black or any particular color. it means you love the idea that you will be held by your own personal responsibility and standards, not being put in with some group and you can't get any higher and you will always be as low as whatever group you are in. that denies the very essence of this wonderful experiment in ghost called america. i wish jorge understood that. if. jesse: you have next. a real american panel. wait until you see these grades. later, new yorkers tell me if they believe in america first.
8:38 pm
do you have agree with america first? jumping off a cliff is more of kind of an intense experience. having debt is more quietly terrifying. when you're going through med school you're so concentrated on learning the things you need to be a good doctor... try not to think about this massive debt that you're accruing. before i refinanced through sofi i was paying half my paycheck every month towards student loans. i saved about thirty or forty thousand dollars by refinancing with sofi. it's easier for me to relax now. it's a really freeing feeling.
8:39 pm
8:40 pm
8:41 pm
8:42 pm
jesse: we are halfway through president trump's first 100 days in office. and he has lost no time in making good on campaign promises. but in spite of reaching across the aisle, america is still divide. take a look at these dials from i'm asking every one watching tonight to believe in your selves and believe in america. jesse: we have a panel of voters ready to help us understand the mood of the countryit looked lih notes with the independents and republicans. but not the democrats. >> republicans have consistently been with donald trump.
8:43 pm
independents have been republic can't whole time. the democrats the second he opens his mouth the dials hit the floor. but this moment was one of the best. that's a flat line. jesse: a flat line is good for trump? >> usually it's wow, they hate us. jesse: one of president trump's biggest come plant is the media. here is what the voters thought about that. >> i also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. the dishonest media which has published one false story after another with no soarlss, even though they pretends they have them, they make them up in many cases. jesse: let's talk to the panel. raise your hands if you voted for donald trump.
8:44 pm
and raise your hands if you voted for hillary clinton. would anybody change your vote? everyone is fine. you saw what he just said about the media. what's your first reaction to president trump going after the media? >> agree. >> you like it when he goes after the press? >> yes. jesse: you are not a democrat? >> no. >> i think it's nonsensical. he doesn't back it up with any facts. he goes after the cliche' thing to do and i'm annoyed by it. jesse: what about you? >> i think it's two-fold. he's raising issues that are out there? the safety, the social media, we are consuming media in different ways. i don't think he's going about it the right way. i think there are ways to unite people without attacking the other side.
8:45 pm
the last sound bites are great that he's trying to unite them. jesse: you think it might unite the country because people don't like the media that much? >> i think him fighting back ways we never saw in a leader before, any leader. and the fact is when the other side has things to say, they don't have any facts either. necessity just throw stuff out there for their base. and that's what i like. i don't want them get away with it. let me decide. i don't want your opinion reporting on him to be the news. jesse: do you think there are personal issues at stake when the press goes negative? >> it's all personal. >> i think he gives them ammunition. if he did not go ballistic as he does and go off the rails as he does, the media and the press wouldn't have these opportunities to fact check him. >> do you agree with that?
8:46 pm
>> yes, i do agree. >> do you think he's his worst enemy, the president? >> they are reporting on what he's saying, then with all these 300-plus tweets he sent out since he has been in office. they are using that as ammunition. reporter jesse: the president says he needs to tweet to get above the news media and go directly to the people. do you think it's effective? >> i do. but i think he should hold back on the childishness. i think he ought to cut back on jumping right out there. jesse: i want to show a shot of the president talking about obamacare. threat's roll the tape. >> we have to remember obamacare is collapsing and it's in bad shape. we are going to take action. there will be no slowing down. there will be no waiting and no more excuses by anybody.
8:47 pm
jesse: obamacare is not doing pretty well, that's pretty much agreed upon. premiums republic and deductibles are way up. is there anybody that thinks obamacare is doing well? very interesting. now that it's going to be repealed and replaced. do we expect good things from the new house republican bill? no one expects good things? >> it remains to be seen. somewhat is it that you don't know that would make you comfortable? >> they want to roll this out in three stages. pass the first step first then there are two other steps where they would go with buying across state lines and other initiatives. why don't you tell us why you can't do it all at once. and if you can't do it all at once, how about telling us what step two and three is, having it ready now and tell me after you pass step one is it a day or a week you are going to pass step three. jesse: i think they are not
8:48 pm
telling you that because they don't know themselves. quickly to sum this up. give the president a grade in his first 50 days. a-f. >> i would give him an f jes. jesse: an f? >> yes. jesse: even those economy is doing better? >> that's just people being rosier picturesque about any president in office. >> i think 50 days is too small a sample size, but he's given great opportunities for people to rise up to unite and amplify the similarities. and i think that is a good thing he's doing. >> i would say a d minus. jesse: you are not okay with an f. you will give him a little credit? >> as a result of his last speech, i'm trying to be a little bit more diplomatic. jesse: there was a good joint
8:49 pm
session speech. you in the back? >> an a. jesse: what about you? >> i would go with an f as well. jesse: what about you? >> b. jesse: where does he need to improve? >> his own messaging, the childish tweets. >> i would give him an a. everything he ran on he's doing and trying to do. whether he can get it through congress and get the support is another thing. but he told us what he's going to do and that's what he's doing, and i like that. jesse: the grades from the panel show how divide the country is. up next you heard from the cowboys. now let's hear from the college kids. do you consider donald trump your president? >> no. >> no. jesse: who is your president? happy anniversary dinner, darlin'
