they had no idea. nearly 5,000 showed up and loved every second and it was everything they imagined and more. congratulations, minnesota. welcome to division 1 soccer. >> bill: good morning everybody. we await the battle over changing health care. the big question what will it cost? the federal bean counters are about to put on the price tag on the republican plan to replace obamacare. i'm bill hemmer back in "america's newsroom." >> shannon: i'm shannon bream for martha maccallum. the congressional budget office will release an estimate on how much the health care could cost americans and many are warning many could lose coverage. >> we came into office with an insurance plan that doesn't

work. we have no choice but to make the plan better for all americans out there. we'll get a score next week and cbo will do what they need to do and we'll see what the score is and in the past the cbo score has been meaningless. >> the director of the cbo is not moses and come from the mountain tops with stone tablet and can make mistakes but they provide an important amount of information and analysis that allows senators and congressmen to make informed choice. it will effect every american in a personal way. >> shannon: we're now joined live. john, what can we expect this monday? >> shannon, good morning. the president will hold another listening session on what is described as a group of quote, victims on obamacare. we'll hear from the congressional budget office by 3:00 this afternoon on how much it will cost. cbo scoring as it's called, will

be important. if the numbers come out favorably it will come a long way to making the case the president and republicans are putting forth to the american people we need to repeal and replace obamacare but if the numbers come out badly it will give the democrats ammunition with which to criticize the efforts. the white house is casting doubt on numbers out from the cbo. last week sean spicer saying you can't believe everything the cbo says. listen to what he said. >> of course costs matters but look how off they were last time if you're looking to the cbo or accura accuracy you're looking in the wrong place. >> of course a big aspect of cbo scoring isn't going to be just the price but how many people the cbo projects will be covered by the new health care plan. you mentioned at the top democrats warning millions could lose their coverage. we'll see what the congressional budget office has to say in

time. >> shannon: there's another bowling and pizza party coming up. >> i've never seen the use of this facility like this white house has and the freedom caucus have been critical saying it's obamacare lite and obamacare wrapped in a different form and tomorrow morning they'll roll a few balls, eat a few slices, hear about health care and the upcoming budget to be released thursday. the president said to be in full deal-making mode. this is one of his two big legislative initiatives and wants to make sure it gets through. listen to what kellyanne conway said. >> he's listening and negotiating and receiving input but everyone knows as is presid ultimate deal maker and ultimate decision maker. >> there are two bowling alleys

and there's a double-lane facility in the eisenhower executive office section and this is where this will take in the basement of the eisenhower executive office building and this morning the president will meet with his cabinet. he's got 18 of his 21 members confirmed so it will be a sizable event. >> shannon: john roberts, thank you. >> bill: the big question is whether the plan will cover more people, byron, good morning to you. it's a big week. i think the basic question is what does it mean. how do we answer that now? >> it's a really huge week because the administration may

criticize the congressional budget office but everyone listens to what it says and if it comes out and says fewer americans will have health care coverage under this new republican replacement plan it will hurt them no doubt about it. we saw a couple things. one, the white house and some republicans have done a pr pre-buttle sake it's not been true and that americans won't be losing coverage so much as choosing not to purchase it because there's no individual mandate. they're saying that's the freedom americans will have in the new bill. but the fact is going to be the headlines will be x number of americans lows coverage under gop plans. >> bill: that came up sunday here's john dickerson with the

house speaker paul ryan. >> how many people will lose coverage? >> i can't answer that question it's up to people. here's the premise of your question, are you going to stop mandating people buy health insurance. we believe in individual freedom in this country. >> bill: ok. there you go. >> there it was. look, it all matters whether voters like that argument than the democrats argument saying 20 million people have coverage that didn't before obamacare and there's all those videotapes of president trump saying in the campaign everybody will have coverage. this bill doesn't do that. >> bill: hmm. now, some republicans are going to argue despite what comes out today as we play the john robertson moment the cbo got it wrong before so how can you me of the number that comes out

today? politically speaking, byron, can you characterize what is on the line this week? >> i think it's a pretty heavy lift for the president with republicans. i mean, we haven't seen any evidence of some of these key house conservative republicans coming over to the president's side. it's great to see go bowling at the white house and great president trump is calling them and those are good things for the president to do but on this particular bill they don't seem to be softening. and remember what senator tom cotton the republican in the senate, an ally of president trump said it could cost them the majority in 2018. people are talking about this as a high-stakes vote. >> bill: a jarring comment. byron thank you for the analysis from washington today. shannon. >> shannon: as we wait to hear

about obama care scoring the house intelligence committee wants answers on another hot topic. they're depending the justice department provide evidence that the obama administration wiretapped its office and the deadline for proof is today. reaction now from both sides. >> i don't suspect we'll see any evidence. we'll have an open hearing march 20th and ask the director of the fbi among others if there's truth or have seen evidence and they'll be in the position to have to know. >> the president will have to retract or provide the information the american people deserve because if his predecessor violated the law, president obama violated the law we have a serious issue here to say the least. >> shannon: president trump said he'll be proven right. to me watching this in washington every word used to

submit the request and parse every syllable and you may not get all the answers you think you'll get. >> bill: how's your bowl game by the way are you ok? >> shannon: as a kid i was in a bowling league and i got a patch. >> bill: so you have skills? >> shannon: no, 30 years ago. >> bill: now winter is not ready to chill out is it? the northeast bracing for what could be a massive blizzard for millions in its path. snow coming and the forecast coming up in moments. >> shannon: and members of the trump administration raked over the coals for meeting with the russian ambassador and now word the clinton camp may have done exactly the same thing. >> bill: and president trump comparing obamacare to a ticking time bomb ready to explode. one republican warning both parties could be dying in front

of our eyes. our panel debates this comment in a moment. >> you talk to people and there are more and more independents because of the squabbling. what's at risk to democrats is you can't turn your back on these people and the republicans you need to invite democrats in because we're talking about lies.

according to a spokesman for vladamir putin the ambassador met with people connect to hillary clinton's campaign as well as people connect to president trump. it's the ambassador's job to stay in touch with both sides and the meetings were about u.s.-russian relations nothing to do with the election he did also say though putin viewed hilary as hostile to russia and viewed and candidate trump as more open. >> bill: he's everywhere. >> shannon: he's the hot ticket. >> bill: did you see this on sunday? >> look, i believe the political party are disintegrated before our very eyes. i think more and more people cross this country see no purpose for parties and if all you focus on in life is what's in it for me you're a loser. you're a big-time loser. this country better be careful we're not losing the soul of our

country because we play politics and forget people in need. >> bill: that was an interesting interview. john kasich sounding the death bell for both political parties warning the battle over health care is make them a thing of the past. katie pavelich and maryanne marsh. >> good morning. >> bill: what did you think? >> i don't think the country like governor kasich about leaving people been the we're the most generous people not world and in terms of the political party disintegrating 43% of voters are independent and if you look at the way both parties have gone they're gone left and right not to the middle. some argue that's an ok thing and some argue that's why we have an independent voting bloc

and people don't believe they fit into a political box with democrats and republicans and donald trump is a result of that considering he was a democrat most his life and then became a republican and in his health care speeches talking about covering everybody but getting rid of obamacare and brings in the vote as well and saw that in michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. i'm not surprised both parties have having a hard time finding their way but i think he should lessen up on the lecturing to america on leaving people behind. >> bill: interesting response. disintegrating before our eyes and your view and then a trump tweet. quickly. >> you saw john kasich's 2020 bid to run for the white house as an independent and that says more than anything else. donald trump blew up the

republican party and that's how we're tackling the health care from that position. >> bill: here we go. you called it awesome, here we go on screen for viewers moments ago. obamacare is imploding. it's a disaster in 2017 it will be the worst year yet and republicans will come together and save the day. ok, now katie, think about that and listen to kellyanne conway from earlier today about the processes of negotiations on this. >> the president and vice president have leaned into this legislation and the president did what leaders do this week. he listened, he's negotiating but he's also the ultimate decisionmaker and dealmaker. >> bill: republicans will come together and save the day or will they? >> the white house is in a full-court press to get republicans on board and as you mentioned and kellyanne mentioned the president is leaning on mike pence who was able to bring conservatives to his side during the election.

i'm sure mike pence will be working on capitol hill to get skeptical conservatives on board with the health care legislation. the president is travelling this week and as press secretary sean spicer they're trying to push it forward and listening to ideas to change legislation to make sure it passes. so they'll work on it. donald trump has said before if it fails they're happy to let obamacare collapse and deal with it from there. >> bill: and the premiums and penalties what they're doing in 2017. mary anne will they get it done or not? >> i don't think so. look at the republican side, tom cotton, the voice of reason, clearly concerned about the house side and senator heller and daryle issa concerned and if obamacare collapses wait until the cbo score comes out and shows 15 million people will

lose their coverage under this bill and you heard yesterday morning every administration representative conceding that point. the goal was never to cover everybody to make sure they have access. it's like here's the door but it's locked and that will hurt this more than anything. democrats are united in protecting obamacare and would love to make it better but it's impossible with donald trump and the republicans. >> bill: katie, go ahead. >> under obamacare people were forced by the government to buy health care insurance or be fined. so just because you were forced into buying health care and you had it and now you don't have to be forced to buy it if they repeal the mandate didn't mean you lost health insurance you have to be skeptical of the number. >> bill: we have to run, katie you would say it's a make-or-break moment? >> republicans campaigned on this for years and lots of activists campaigned for repeal and they have to deliver it. >> bill: mary anne. >> on that one, katie's right.

>> bill: thank you, katie, thanks, mary anne. appreciate it. >> shannon: president trump travel ban re-do facing challenges and it's blocked because it's hurting people's feelings. we'll debate. >> bill: and the white house asking for the resignation of 46 u.s. attorney. cue the media outrage. is eight outrageous or an obvious most. a history lesson in a moment. >> they fired them and they're reasonable and then goes off on a gee, i wonder what caused it. well, i don't think cbs or abc news called bill clinton when they fired all 95 in one day.

of >> shannon: a new executive order and a new legal challenge. a series of states joining a lawsuit against the president's second travel ban. maryland becoming the latest state and hawaii, oregon, massachusetts and new york all opposing the ban saying this version is no different than the first one. well, we're tracking it live in seattle. hi, dan. >> hi, shannon. it's a big week for president trump and his lawyers defending the travel ban and battling it out with hawaii lawsuit and now washington state lawsuit joined by maryland, new york and an american and his wife was born in syria and her mother still lives there and they claim it's harming the family because they can't bring the mother to the u.s. but it veers from economic

damages and focuses on emotions saying muslims will be made felt like a disfavored religion. what president trump's executive order is subjecting a portion of hawaii's population to discrimination and second-class treatment in violationation of the constitution and they have oral arguments set. >> shannon: so how is the washington case different? >> the hawaiian case is different to get a tro on the travel ban and the washington case says the first and second travel ban are the same and the injunction they secured for the country based on what was filed originally by the trump administration should remain in effect and therefore we should have the travel ban continue to be negated by that original

order. the judge on the case is judge james robart and he issued the original restraining order. that was held up by the court of appeals. all this is going on while the trump administration is hoping to get the second travel ban in effect by thursday but we could have a hearing out here in washington state in robart's case as well as hawaii. a lot going on as the trump administration tries get the travel ban in effect for thursday. >> shannon: we'll debate that hawaii case in the next hour. thank you. >> bill: isis surrounded. coalition leaders now say the terror group is trapped. we'll have the latest on the battle for mosul in a moment. >> shannon: and the battle over your health care and paul ryan with a stark warning, pass my bell or face collapse and but the hard-lined conservative have a different plan.

>> why not do what we all voted for 15 months ago, clean repeal and then get momentum to replace obamacare with something to bring down costs. bounty, the quicker picker upper

bp developed new, industry-leading software to monitor drilling operations in real-time, so our engineers can solve problems

with the most precise data at their fingertips. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. >> shannon: it could be a wild day on wall street. the market's supposed to move today anticipating news on interest rates from the fed. janet yellen and company all but assure rate hike after the meeting wednesday. all this of course comes after the friday jobs report showed strong momentum in the economy. looks like it's opening slowly this morning so far. >> bill: so far. now this, iraqi forces making headway in the battle to take mosul from isis forces pushing further into jihadist territory and coalition forces warning the battle is about to get a lot tougher on the ground. >> any of the fighters left in mosul are going to die there because they're trapped.

so we are very committed to not just defeating them but make sure they cannot escape. >> bill: connor powell live in our middle east newsroom watching the story as it unfolds. where are the coalition forces in the efforts to retake the town? >> it's been more than three months for coalition and iraqi forces to take back the eastern half of mosul in less than three weeks now they've taken 30% of western mosul. the operation is moving fairly quickly in comparison to other iraqi operations but the operation is going to get much more difficult, much more deadly as coalition and iraqi forces move into the old city of mosul. the streets are narrower and impossible for armored vehicles to move around and this operation is going fairly well in comparison to previous operations and bill, it's important to remember in the last year isis has lost more

than 60% of the territory they claimed two years ago. the overall operation in iraq to stamp out isis is progressing fairly well. >> bill: so if mosul is eventually liberated and at a high cost at that, what then for isis in iraq? >> well, isis in iraq is losing territory. it appears the u.s. military is going to stay in iraq for a long term to help iraqi forces to make sure isis forces doesn't reappear. we're getting a sense maybe in the summer a large operation to knock out isis in iraq is imminent. force have been meeting to discussion the operation so there's a sense the anti-isis coalition includes turkey, the united states, the kurds and

russia is finalizing the plan against isis to make sure they don't reappear in iraq and don't reappear and are ultimately defeated in the battlegrounds as well. >> bill: connor powell with an update. thank you. >> shannon: kentucky senator rand paul no fan of the new health care bill repeatedly calling it obamacare lite. while he's at odds with paul ryan he believes territory is ready to do some horse trading. >> i've talked to the president him on obamacare and he's willing to negotiate and what i here from paul ryan is it's a binary choice, young man. what's that mean? his way for the highway. >> shannon: will this be an art of the deal let's bring in john sununu who served to george h.w. bush. senator paul is not the only one saying this that there is potentially daylight between the white house and the speaker. is this one of the cases of good

cop/bad cop in the negotiating? >> passing legislation is complicated and messy. the house does its thing and the senate and goes to the in the of conference and the white house nurses all the processes all along and has to deal with the 230 republicans in the house and the republicans in the senate. it's going to have bumps like that along the way. they'll come together at the end with a package but the second important thing to remember is that it's probably going to take more than one piece of legislation. you can put certain things in reconciliation and you try and get that through to begin with and then there will have to be a second package that deals with the items not part of allowable as part of reconciliation. this kabuki dance will continue for a while and everybody will

be moaning and groaning and there will be complaint. >> shannon: you mentioned reconciliation and tom mulvaney said if they get scores they'll have to to move it through reconciliation there's it's got to save money. it has hoops to get three. i want to play what a founding member of the freedom caucus had to say and they're standing strong in their opposition at this point. >> they all just voted for it months ago. the clean repeal we introduced this week. it's ok to say i voted for it during campaign time but now when it counts you can't do it? seems the binary choice if there is one is to say work with all the folks and the republicans around the country who said this plan is not what we need to do, work with us or you don't get the vote. that's the real choice. >> shannon: so he and others talk about this binary choice

from the speaker and continuing to say and mark meadows who heads up the freedom caucus saying they're willing to negotiate though the speaker is publicly saying you have to take it as is. >> as i said there'll be a package that comes through the house and one for the senate. the speaker has to deal with how he thinks he can get a package through the house and mcconnell will have to deal with it in the senate and it gets reconciled in the committee. it will be posturing by many different people and slices as the process goes forward. i had to deal with this constantly when i was in the white house on things like clean air and the civil rights bill and so on. it's a nice news bite but in fact the process will -- the important part of the process takes place behind the scenes and not in the public view. >> shannon: what do you make of the interview saying if there's

a single party responsible it's not sustainable long term. in 2009 not a single republican voted for obamacare. the republicans put themselves in a similar bind if they don't get democratic support this time around. >> i think the important thing for republicans to do is to get a bill. there are people out there who are still being forced to buy obamacare insurance. yes, they're going to come off when they choose not to buy it but republicans have to get their legislation through. john kasich love to get on television. i think one of your preceding commentators had the point right. john kasich has his own perspective and agenda. >> shannon: let me ask you, speaking of agenda, the president meets with his cabinet today i believe 18 of 21. you've been a white house chief of staff. how critical is it he has a full cabinet in moving forward with the administration's business? >> extremely critical. the slowness is all because of

the democrats. they'll try and blame the republicans for not having the process function quicker in terms of paper work but the fact is the limiting factor is how quickly confirmations come through. three cabinet members have not been confirmed. the democrats ought to start giving the president what he needs to start making the government function. but it happens to every administration and they will cope with it. it hurts the process but it doesn't destroy the process. >> democrats have said they'll slow it down even though they know they don't have the numbers ultimately to stop most these folks. governor sununu. good to see. >> have a good day. >> bill: let the madness begin it's march. selection sunday giving the number one seeds to the following schools, north carolina, kansas, gonzaga and the defending champion villanova wildcats. they're hoping po -- to repeat

but the story from sunday may be this shot. >> shannon: so exciting. >> bill: that's northwestern university finding out they're going to the dance for the first time in school history. a couple schools had a similar reaction. >> shannon: the momentum when you know there's a small chance but you could be the cinderella. do you have a bracket? >> bill: i have not. >> shannon: no, but i feel the crazier the choices. >> bill: pick the higher seeds. nobody knows. >> shannon: i know. i know. >> bill: do you have a favorite? >> shannon: i don't but i used to share an office with peter doocy and he's an villanova guy. i'll stick with his pick. >> bill: usually martha sits in that chair and she's a villanova guy. >> shannon: we'll stick with villanova. >> bill: ucla's getting a lot of attention from the west coast.

we'll see. i bet it's a lot of fun and think employers across america lose a lot of business. >> shannon: productivity down but the fun is on. in the northeast there's a big winter blast. millions why in the path of a storm that can dump upwards of the latest on its path and preparation. >> bill: also the firing of the u.s. attorney sparks a lot of trf controversy but is it merely business as usual in washington, d.c.? >> elections have consequences. for people to complain about it they're ignoring the history of new presidencies and i think the president had every right to ask for their resignations. walnuts. the best simple dinner ever?

>> they asked to meet with me

whether i'd be prepared to stay on as united states attorney to do the work as we had done it independently without favor for the last seven years. i would consider staying on. i agreed to stay on. >> bill: that is a u.s. attorney from late november after he was meeting at trump tower with then then president-elect president trump. we have an analyst here to sort through this and good morning to you, judge. first, who is he? >> he is the former chief federal prosecutor for new york city and a job once held forr g.

>> bill: and once held by james comey. >> it's the most visible federal prosecutors. the nickname is the sheriff of wall street because new york is the center of the media and financial community. >> bill: there was thought he was investigating donald trump. >> i think it's a political suggestion. it is true several people filed complaints against the president with his office arguing he is illegally receiving dividends on stock from corporations he owns. something he's entitled to do while president as the united states. those complaints -- i say believe were dismissed as frivolous. so frivolous that they never made it to his level and they should apologize saying the

president would interfere in a prosecution of himself. that itself is a criminal act. >> bill: he was investigating the governor at one point? >> his office is still investigating the governor and mayor. absolutely. he has put away politicians from both parties it's an aggressive prosecutor's office and when the president asked him to leave you leave, you work for the president. when the president calls you up on thursday you don't refuse to take his call and say i'm not allowed to speak with you and surprised when they ask you to quit and make them fire you unless you want to run for political office and refusing to quit and being fired by donald trump is a badge of honor in this town if you're a democrat who seeks higher office. now i'm speculating.

>> bill: you're pulling into the intersection of politics and law which is where this man resided because of the position he held. let me share this with you, ronald reagan replaced 89 of the 93 u.s. attorneys in the first if you year and president clinton 89 and president bush at 88 new u.s. attorneys in his first few year. >> absolutely normal. it's the president's prerogative to have these people. do the investigations stop because the u.s. attorneys leave? no, they get continued by the professional lawyers and investigators. >> bill: janet reno, 1993. >> janet reno fired. every hold-over u.s. attorney across country. >> i've asked for their resignations at the request of the president. >> a one-day clean sweep.

>> bill: that was 1993. >> again, when she asked for the resignations she got them because they knew as mr. bharrahas knows he asks you to go, you leave. >> bill: is there any drag in those offices with regard to investigations? you mentioned it but if you're replacing dozens and dozens of leading u.s. attorneys -- >> it's theoretically possible that the new u.s. have a new investigation and because everything is so high profile and transparent highly unlikely. >> bill: you expected this? >> yes. i did. i did not expect them it refuse to take the president's call but i expected jeff sessions to resign as others did.

>> bill: i'm glad we had you on. andr andrew napolitano. >> shannon: and the hard hit areas. >> bill: and you get heavy wind and a chilly lake-front home. wow. ancestrydna can reveal your true irish roots, even if you never knew they were there. with a simple dna test, you can discover if you're irish,

pickup trumps and we have salt trucks and spreader trucks being deployed across the region being staged or in some places pretreating roads because of the most significant and impactful storm of the winter to hit the northeast. a blizzard warning from connecticut up to boston and northern virginia could see two to four inches falling every hour in this region. 12 to 20 inches perhaps more north and west of us starting early tuesday morning with winds northwest 25 to 35 miles an hour gusting 40 to 55 and temperatures in the 20s and visibility to a quarter mile or less and whiteout conditions and possible coastal flooding. it could be a real mess for millions of people.

>> shannon: you outline a lot of potential problems. what's the biggest concern, rick? >> for county officials keeping people off the roads. they're in full battle mode and have hundreds of trucks ready to cover hundreds of road miles and want people to avoid travel if possible. >> we're suggesting if residents don't have to drive please stay home and get your cars off the road. we can do a far more efficient slow plow if people put their cars on the driveway it makes a difference. >> not only do they know what they're doing but the county supervisor is driving the payloader right now. all hands on deck for this one. >> shannon: i like that. he's multitalented and talk about it and do it in action. cool, rick. >> he claims he has a license for it so we'll believe him. >> shannon: we'll find out.

thank you, rick. >> bill: he claims. >> shannon: are you ready? >> bill: first snowstorm for you in new york. >> shannon: i packed my snow shoes. i'll not be wearing these shoes. >> bill: i will not either. it's actually a lot of fun. >> shannon: some snow angels maybe? >> bill: you can, i'm not. the fun thing is everybody walks in the streets because there's no cars. we'll see what we get with all the predictions. >> shannon: it feels very instagram worthy. >> bill: no question. all right. some lawmakers drawing a land in the sand over president trump's wiretap claims and what comes much it and james comey asking the justice department to refute the claim from the white house. some say he's the most powerful fbi director ever. true? where does that story stand today. problems.

administration. the intelligence committee asked for evidence to back up the claim that president obama ordered wiretaps during the election. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm shannon bream in for martha maccallum. >> bill: they're seeking evidence for proof and kellyanne conway defending the wiretap claim suggesting there's even wider surveillance than thought. >> there's many ways to surveil each other now. there's an article how you can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets. any number of different ways and cameras, etcetera. we know it's just a fact of modern life. >> bill: a chief intelligence correspondent is watching live.

good morning to you. let's start with the deadline. what do we know about that first? >> the leadership of the house intelligence commodity requested all documentation of alleged orders of wiretap. the deadline is significant coming one week before the committee's first public hearing on the russian investigation. the fbi director james comey and mike rogers and former ci director john brennan and james clapper and former acting intelligence director sally yates have been asked to testify and there are only two outcomes. >> i think the president has one of two choices, either retract or to provide the information that the american people deserve because if his predecessor violated the law, president obama violated the law we have a

serious issue to say the least. >> we need insight into the leaks and devin nunes has not ruled out issuing subpoenas in the case. >> bill: they're backing away from the director withholding evidence. >> there was a closed-door classified briefing and the ranking member of the house intelligence committee came out afterwards and said the fbi director was withholding evidence and that's a serious charge and sunday he cited a shift. >> i have been critical of the fbi and their willingness to cooperate and i can say that's changed and pleased at the level of cooperation and there's still more to be ironed out but it's moved in a positive director. >> congressman shift said he may

welcome the opportunity to testify and may put allegations of wiretapping to rest. >> bill: catherine herridge, thank you. >> shannon: the administration is now exploring how to dismantle or bypass constraints on terrorists. en >> when president obama began ramping up drone strikes in places with the supplement was not in war he set the bar high in when to carry out a strike and if it was outside afghanistan, iraq and syria the commanders needed to ensure there was nearly no civilian casualties. in late january when president trump signed an order for the pentagon to defeat isis and the implications is he would loosen

the restrictive rules of engagement to give the commanders more flexibility and there was a voter signed to defense secretary jim mattis urged him to keep the rules high in terms of rule of engagement. even small numbers of civilian deaths or injuries can cause significant strategic setbacks. president trump is weighing whether to sign off to allow more military action there. >> shannon: so what is the impact of the discussion so far? >> well, take yemen as an example. the average number of airstrikes used to be 30 per year. this year there's been more than 40 airstrikes and that raid that results in the death of navy seal ryan owen we're told not have been approved by president obama because it did not meet his strict criteria and

civilians were killed in the raid among them women and children. >> the civilian casualty aspect has been completed and we have made a determination based on our best information available that we did cause casualties between two and four casualties that i accept responsibility for. >> a national security advisor mcmaster have slowed the review realizing if you kill civilians you fuel terrorist recruiting. >> bill: what about the last point of fuelling more terrorism as a result? >> a result of the policy change to guidance? i think that's always a consider. let's just understand when you're talking presidential policy guidance, when we're

looking at what the framework as it's set up it's supposed to be evolving. civilian casualties will always have the possibility of increasing radicalization and working with partners but the trump administration promised a more aggressive approach particularly on the war on terror and we have seen deterioration where the obama administration was take slower. afghanistan is a war most americans i think barely even recognize as still an active combat zone where we have many u.s. soldier on the ground engaging in active operations. have you the conversation going on now we could be sending more troops to afghanistan. it's a war president obama forgot and we have not looked at syria as a policy success. some constraints president obama

put in place again, self-imposed restraints for the executive branch haven't yielded good results outside of mitigating civilian casualties. >> bill: is it my sense it's one of the more undercovered stories the level of aggression and in iraq and afghanistan. >> i think putting someone of mattis' stature allows president trump allows for confidence in mattis trying to change the momentum by pushing further and for the objectives to complete, for example, what we've been doing in afghanistan and also to push the islamic state out of mosul and iraq and take the fight to them on syria. they're issues left on his plate

and general mattis is the perfect point man to take them up. >> bill: why am i reading about this in the "new york times" about somalia. if you're reading the paper you want to figure out next target and this is the leading indicator where the strategy is? >> it does give an indication to our enemies. >> bill: by law are we allowed to have the information? >> in this case they're talking about the change in the policy guidance and say going after al-qaeda offshoots more carefully and the reason why it's a news story to answer your question is yemen became an politicpole pole and the large reliance of the previous administration on drones i believe created a sense

of complacency to create that. you dont get the same intelligence from drones as capturing people on the battlefield so there's a human aspect not captured with drone strikes and i read through the guidance and there'll still be civilian casualties but the reason others will be reporting on this is they want to set the groundwork for president trump is being reckless and doing things outside the norms of his predecessor and want that to be the narrative. >> bill: they're not new norms because president obama at similar times had different rules for other parts of the world. >> when they wanted to add campaigns they added libya to an active area of hostility so they established the rules but then when they decided they're not just rules they write something else in. >> bill: last question as the

cia analyst -- >> formerly, yeah. >> bill: formerly. was trump tower bugged? >> i don't think so, i don't know. if i knew i wouldn't be in position to answer and i think there were many reports not challenged that suggested president trump had collusion with the russians and there indicates there was counterintelligence of the president and they ran with the story because it helped the narrative that trump and russia have a conspiracy and they realized you can't have an investigation without the kind of electronic eavesdropping they're saying would not have happened. so it can't be both ways and in a sense we've gotten more truth. >> bill: buck sexon, thank you for your analysis. shannon. >> shannon: we're waiting on the new health care bill.

the feds set to announce how much the cbo thinks the plan will cost but what will the political price be for lawmakers. the very latest. >> bill: and who is filing suit forever the travel ban and why hawaii claims it will hurt the feelings of muslims. we'll debate whether that's a good enough reason to stop the order and what's up with that. >> shannon: and the media going banana's over the dismissal of attorney generals and we're joined more on that. >> elections have consequences. for people to complain about it they're ignoring the history of new presidencies. mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight disease. there are over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample.

with the microsoft cloud, we can analyze the data faster than ever before. if we can detect new viruses before they spread, we may someday prevent outbreaks before they begin.

>> shannon: breaking news surrounding the sudden order for 46 u.s. attorneys to design. >> the abruptness makes this stand out. >> on a friday afternoon after promises were given amidst everything else going on at the trump justice department. it's very unusual. i can't of remember seeing a case like this. >> shannon: the media pouncing on the trump administration's clean sweep on dozens of attorneys. that's nothing new. they defended president obama for similar action in 2009. >> the protocol has been u.s. attorneys would hand in

their ris -- resignation for the new administration to allow for new appointmented. >> shannon: newt gingrich defending the trump administration on "fox & friends." >> identify the people opposed and figure out how you'll fire them or reassign them. we have the largest offices in rural idaho and montana you've ever seen but i'd go through the entire government. abraham lincoln fired 70% of the senior bureaucrats in the government because he had to ge. 70% in the first couple months. trump's going to have a similar process he won't have any choice. remember, 95% of the money given by federal officials was given by hillary clinton and 97% at

the justice department and 99% at is the state department. that tells you there are a lot of folks out there who ain't for donald trump and won't help him. >> shannon: we have a fox news analyst and host of "media buzz." good morning. you saw the clips we played at the beginning. everyone talking about this it's so abrupt, we've never seen this before. do you think it's genuine. people don't remember this happens every time? do you think it was poignant, bias? >> wait, president trump is guilty of being abrupt? it's a story and bill clinton fired all his attorneys and attorney janet reno sent a letter to jeff sessions. "the new york times" you had to turn to page 17 to read the following, it is not unusual for a new president to replace

u.s. attorneys appointed by a predecessor in which there's a change of the party that controls the white house and they've done it gradually to minimize disruption. he didn't send flowers but they're political appointees. >> shannon: politco said obama to replace u.s. attorneys and that's the headline and a lot of times writers don't write their own stories but one says trump team ousts obama-appointed attorneys. it's the same haven't with a different couching of what happened. >> i've been struck by a lot of things president trump has done whether it's getting rid of the prosecutors or hooking to get rid of regulations and it's described by the media that range from suspicious to nefarious and barack obama

changed bush era policies there wasn't this how dare he coverage and there was a prosecutor in manhattan who has by all accounts done a good job and going after wall street and a republicans and democrats but he likes the spotlight so he's decide to grandstand and said i won't resign and made trump fire him. >> shannon: is it a battle of p.r. and one headline says trump's firing prompt conflict. >> i think there's an underlying mind set in the media that president trump has to be questioned and i'm not against scrutiny or criticism of the president when he does something question or says something he can't back up but what he has done is what any president does

is you want your own people at the key posts and there's been speculation in bharara where trump may have done this or that. no, he didn't treat him differently than any other u.s. attorneys now expected to leave and if the new replacements are not solid picks but it's routine but a stories because it's a president trump. >> shannon: it will only add weight to his argument he has been treated fairly. good to see you. >> bill: it could be a mess at the airport. how a blizzard that hasn't even happened yet is causing flight cancellations. >> we got milk and bread and i bought some eggs and water. when the storm comes i'll stay in the house. it's warm in the house. >> shannon: and talk about winter's wrath, check out this

is live in the fox weather center. are they scaring us adam or is this the real deal? >> it's looking to be a big one for us, bill. at this point you see a large area everything in the pink shading are winter storm warnings stretching from the mid-atlantic to maine and a bull's-eye stretching new jersey to the north, new york city now under this blizzard warning which is a combination of strong winds and very heavy snow. we're expecting that to arrive through the overnight hours. the winds are a big part of this. as we continue on the wind speeds the darker colors up to 70 miles an hour in new york city. wouldn't be surprised if we see gusts up to 50 miles an hour. very breezy and windy conditions as a result. there's a chance of seeing coastal flooding as the wind presses the water up against the shore. you may see a little bit of flooding. that's not the main concern but still the concern nonetheless.

most folks want to know the timing beginning through the overnight hours. think after midnight it ramps up from the early morning to the afternoon and there's a line running along the coast and further inland means more snow, a wet snow which means there'll be a lot of it and we're talking snow fall totals and widespread up to a foot. there'll be areas up to a foot and a half and some spots getting more snow than that, bill. >> bill: adam, you will go nowhere for a while. >> i'm living here. shannon. >> shannon: republican leaders are rallying around the plan as we await the release of a new report that could predict how much it will cost and what it will cover. >> bill: and what james comey knows considering president trump claim on wiretapping and some claiming comey is the most

powerful fbi director we've ever seen. >> we'll have an open hearing march 20th and will ask if there's truth or if they've seen evidence of this. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income... we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges.

are interested in people's ability to get health care and see their doctor. >> bill: we have tracking this live on the hill and good morning to you on a monday. how big will the assessment today be in terms of the story and how it affects the debate? >> it's the start of another really big week in the health care push. we expect the house budget committee to merge the bills into one this week. this is speaker paul ryan and his gop leadership team continue selling it. >> everybody doesn't get what they want but we're getting much better policy. we have an obligation. we made a promise to the people who elected us we would repeal and replace this law and said this is what we would replace it with and we're keeping our word. >> there's encouragement the freedom caucus members supported the bill last week in committee but they're awaiting the coverage and cost numbers today and bracing for them as well,

bill. >> bill: what is the warning from conservatives on this, mike? >> they seem to want a more conservative option and pushing for it but the risk is you risk losing more moderate republican who's for example like the medicaid expansion but one key senate conservative issued this warning to his fellow conservatives in the house. >> do not walk the plank and vote for a bill that cannot pass the senate and then have to face the consequences of that vote. i'm afraid if they vote for this bill they're going to put the house majority at risk next year. >> there's a lot of debate about that. both the president and a lot of gop leaders on capitol hill are worried there'll be a blood bath if they fail to get it done. >> bill: hold on there on capitol hill. >> shannon: the house intelligence committee demanding answers by today. they want to know if there's any hard evidence to support by

president trump that there were phones tapped before election day. >> is there information to be produced is one question and we'll have an open hearing march 20th and asked the director of the fbi among others is there truth and have they seen evidence. they'll be in the position to have to know and march 20th if not before we'll be able to put this to rest. >> shannon: we have a new york post columnist and fox news contributor and written a lot of about the fbi director jim comey. we believe he'll be in the hot seat. do you think he enjoys being in the spotlight? >> i'm afraid he does but not sure he likes this glare lately. during the 2016 election both hillary clinton and donald trump were under fbi investigation or surveillance. we know about the clinton case

but lots of stories have been written including one in the "new york times" claiming there were wiretaps on trump associations. there was something going on. the flynn call was cent ce -- intercepted with the russian ambassador and someone knew jef jeffs sessions met with officials and i think jim comey has a lot of explaining to do. >> shannon: you think he's one of the most powerful fbi directors in our history. >> just the example he had both presidential candidates under some kind of investigation at the same time as they're battling for the white house they're also battling him. that's extraordinary. i call him in my piece j. edgar comey. he had if notower than j.

edgar hoover. he stayed too long. five presidents confessed secretly they wanted to fire him but were afraid to. harry truman accused him of black mail and i think there's a sense of these guys being above the law themselves and being unaccountable to anybody the ten-year term and comey saying you're stuck with me. he doesn't intend to leave. that's a brazen thing to do and last week when president trump said he was wiretapped comey apparently went around the fbi and justice department demanding the justice department issue a denial and we only know that because comey leaked it. everybody had the story comey was furious and credulous and

that's a big move and somebody with a lot of power no longer accountable. >> shannon: where do you see it match up? if it comes to a head between president trump and the fbi director how's that play out? you mentioned j. edgar hoover and five presidents wanting to get rid of him and afraid and if there's comments that there's an fib administration not the best time to be getting rid of the fbi director. >> it goes to the point. should a president of the united states be afraid to fire an fbi director because the fbi director will spill the beans? that's an incredible moment. talk about black mail opportunities. talk about unaccountable power. i think that's what's wrong with the whole investigation and there's so many leaks about investigations that are never put on the record, nobody is ever held accountable. have you heard of an fbi agent getting fired for leaking?

it's classified material that gets leaked. how do we know president trump's campaign were wiretapped? only through leaks. >> shannon: i want to play what speaker ryan had so -to say about the allegations. >> it wasn't part of the health care marketing campaign. >> how much off course did that take you? >> it's doing to be an unconventional presidency. >> shannon: how many of that has been a distraction the wiretap allegations? >> if i would have advised president trump i would have said be careful how you do it and personalizing it about president obama i think raises the level. as paul ryan was saying it sucked everybody into something else than what they were supposed to do including the white house. the cat is now out of the bag. the president has made the charge and we are about to find

out, i hope, whether there was truth to it or what exactly -- i would broaden it, what exactly what was the surveillance. the trump campaign and find and not find. >> shannon: and the words and precision you use is very important in discussing the case. michael goodwin good to see you. thanks for coming in. bill. >> bill: and there was drama here. the cobalt 400 in las vegas the last lap as joey logano and he and kyle busch run into each other and they spin out and busch is not happy and decides to have a word with logano and no words only fists. this is pit row and have you the crewmembers and nascar officials trying to break it. he claims it was done without n

intent. fines are likely you think? >> shannon: the fists did all the talking but you're going 200 miles an hour, it's heated, there's a lot of testosterone going on. >> bill: a lot of that. >> shannon: the hawaii lawsuit looking at the argument for scrapping the executive order when our panel weighs in and then there is this. >> oh, look at that. >> bill: the dolphin is like this is my neighborhood. then the surfer came along. the story behind incredible video. wow, check it out.

ban arguing it hurts the feelings of muslims on top of damaging hawaii's image on the world state quote, defying their ability to associate based on their religion and national origin and results in having to live in a country and state where there's a perception the government has established a disfavored religion. we have a fox news contributor and we have a liberal analyst and publicist of catalina magazine. good to see you both. you knew the next round of lawsuits was coming. this is personalized and people think it will be effective with the judges out west. >> i think that's what the democratic party will lead with and it's not about feelings or religion. it's about national security. that's the view point of the

trump administration it comes down to the countries on the list are safe havens of terrorism and we're talking about a 90-day temporary pause or 120-die temporary pause at a time where we've seen 140 attacks from isis in 29 different countries across the world and where we have the form former cia director who said they will try to infiltrate refugee population and we're looking at our system to do everything we can to protect the country. >> shannon: an individual has been added to the case talking about his mother law in not able to visit from syria and hasn't visit in 12 year. she had an initial approval and

where he said it's terrible and it's devastating and we have to sue under president obama she didn't have a visa is why sue now? >> the attorney general said this grandmother has gone through the process and gone through the process and went through extreme vetting and now will be turned way and not see her grandchildren and hawaii sees themselves as a welcoming state and cannot see her grandchildren. this is a state that remembers this and they're made of immigrants and do not agree with donald trump and they see it as a muslim ban at its core and it's hurting human dignity here so it does hurt feelings. >> shannon: how is it hurting dignity to have a temporary ban on countries identified as

potential threats under the obama administration. the president trump took iraq off because there's missions and things we're working on and there's an allie a ally. >> in a country that was founded by forefathers that were not american citizens so we're a welcoming country and to say we're not welcoming people from country. a grandmother who wants to see her grandkids is hurting her human big dignity. >> shannon: and the federal documents these founders were all about national security as well. >> absolutely, shannon. it's about national security and the grandmother in question as you mentioned hadn't visited i believe for 12 years and doesn't visit the birth of her last two grand children so it's suspect

and as we discussed there's hyperbole from the left from my opponent. and what the trump administration needs to focus on is the fact that it's about national security and the countries on the list are state sponsors of terrorism and we're talking 90 days or 120 days which is temporary. >> our vetting has worked. >> there's at least 300 -- >> shannon: let's not talk over each other. and the fbi just released there are 300 people who came here under refugee status that are now the subject of terrorism investigations that came through the refugee process. >> the vetting has worked and we have been safe during the obama administration. we haven't had a 9/11. extreme vetting has worked.

it's a muslim ban. >> three muslim countries are not on the list. >> shannon: let cathy finish her thought. >> president trump said christians would be treated differently than the muslims. that's how it was introduced and what hawaii remember. >> shannon: the second order has been changed we'll see if it survives judicial scrutiny. thank you, guys. >> bill: so john scout is up next and rolling your way on a monday. how are you doing? >> doing well. there's new developments in the fight to repeal and replace obamacare and the president holding a listening session and we're awaiting a congressional office report on the budget and is north korea repairing for a nuclear war? a prominent media credit says
