indications now certainly from a lot the wall street types, the markets are expecting tax cuts to come through and without putting any pressure on the president here, that is a given. we're going to get them, right, mr. president? we'll see. that will do it here. leland: president trump tweets this morning that obamacare will quote, explode, but then says, do not worry. a great health care plan for the people is coming. all of this just a day after the house health care plan gets pulled. the republican senators and physicians, they know a lot about the issues and has a health care plan. joining us live in minutes. elizabeth: plus, brand new details about the house intelligence committee hearings, russia's involvement in the 2016 elections. all of that on america's news headquarters from washington where the cherry blossoms are at peak bloom this weekend.

>> . elizab for joining us, i'm elizabeth prann, you can see mind me the beauty of the cherry blossoms this weekend. we have hundreds of thousands of visitors at the tidal basin in washington. leland: just gorgeous there, elizabeth on a gorgeous spring saturday in washington. nice to be with you at home. i'm leland vittert from here at the capitol. the white house and president trump in full damage control this morning, on twitter and elsewhere, as they spin their major defeat on appeal obamacare. now, they want a tax reform by summer, many an ambitious at the best of circumstances. what the president is perhaps

learning and where he goes from here, kevin. >> good to talk to you. sooner or later, health care reform will in fact happen. emphasize on later because certainly it's not happening right now. he's actually tweeting, as i think you pointed out for the folks at home, obamacare will explode. we will all get together and piece together a great health care plan for the people. do not worry. now, all of this the day after the white house failing to marshal the votes to repeal and replace obamacare, despite full control on capitol hill. something that the president admitted came as a bits after surprise. >> disappointed. i'm a little surprised to be honest with you. we really had it, it was pretty much there, with in grasp.

we will have a better bill. there were things in here i didn't particularly like. both parties can get together and do real health care, that's the best thing. >> he's right about that. you have to work together. meantime, speaker ryan admitted it was a bit of a disappointment and he said the change from opposition party to being the party in control means there would be bumps in the road along the way including yesterday. democrats in the meantime, says this falls squarely on the foot of the white house. >> the president tends to push blame off on other people, that's a pattern of behavior. they control the house of representatives, the republicans control the senate. he's a new republican president. there's really no excuse why he shouldn't have been able to pass his own initiative other than this bill really was a disaster. >> okay. let's sort of unpack that for a second. a disaster perhaps in the short-term politically, but maybe not long-term. keep in mind, leland, if obamacare is in fact imploding as the white house suggests, that means eventually the democrats may have to come to the table to make a deal.

as for the president, he is on the road just a bit today, up to his club in potomac falls, virginia. we'll see if i get a readout. if it is i'll get back to you. leland: we often see him speak on saturdays when he's there with his staff. kevin standing by at the white house as news breaks. thank you. and liz has more on the fallout. elizabeth: the demise of the g.o.p.'s health care plan continues to echo through the halls of congress. republican dissenters say the bill did not go far enough to repealing obamacare and others feared a massive loss in coverage and rising costs for older people and, of course, the poor. the democrats loyal to obamacare were relieved that the legislation failed and speaking just after it was pulled from the floor. speaker paul ryan says people have to live with the consequences of obamacare for the forseeable future. >> we came up close today, but short.

i'm proud of the bill that we produced, what's troubling is the worst is yet to come in obamacare. >> we believe that health care is a right for all america, not just the privileged or the few. we have our differences and i grant people their position on issues, this could have been done in a much better way. >> all right. live pictures right now of a rally in providence, rhode island, impromptu, you might say, where a number of folks have gathered to show support for president trump and his agenda. you can see folks leading with pro trump signs just a day after the republicans pulled the bill to repeal and replace obamacare. a campaign promise of the president and republicans in general. the american health care act as it's known is dead, but it may not be the end of health care reform, especially for republicans who were elected on the promise to fix obamacare.

some said to repeal it. president trump says the best thing republicans can do now politically as we've heard from kevin is let obamacare in his words explode. a physician from louisiana has his concerned constituents to answer to and joins us now pr baton rouge. always good to see you, sir, thank you. >> thank you. leland: i read the president's tweet this morning and says obamacare is going to explode, but don't worry. which kind of reminds me when your orthopedic surgeon pulls out the big needle this long to aspirate your knee and says don't worry, it's just going to hurt a little bit. >> yeah, but i tell you, it just hurts a little bit. that said, obamacare is going to implode. we know that. you can already see that the individual market the last few years have escalating premiums. leland: but as it explodes, aren't a lot of people, aren't a lot of folks, as your constituents in louisiana, lower income people who have gotten

insurance through the exchanges, aren't they going to get hurt just a little bit or perhaps a little bit more? >> absolutely, which is why when democrats cheer that the american health care plan goes down, i'm thinking wait a second, what are you cheering for? you're cheering that these folks being punished by rising premiums are going to continue to be punished? i agree with the president. we need to team up with the president and we need to have health care bill that works for everyone, fulfills president trump's pledges, fiscally conservative and lowers premiums, that's my goal. leland: it's both ambitious and laudable goal, i guess you could say, but one thing that seems to be a sticking point in this decision is not necessarily the policy, but the philosophy. from 2007 to 2010 president obama convinced the american people of something they'd never believed before and that was that health care wasn't necessarily a privilege, it wasn't something that you had to

pay for, it was a right. it was an entitlement. how do republicans now go to folks and say, well, you know, we're going to walk that back a little bit and what you thought was yours for free and government guaranteed isn't anymore. >> first, let me say that congress, before president obama, established that all americans have a right to health care. this is clear, whether it's the va, the tri care, medicaid, medicare, 340-b i could go on. congress established that and if you're uninsured impala, that law said that if a person is sick, no matter what their insurance status, they can go to an emergency room, be admitted, and be treated. i'm going to push back a little bit though because none of that is free. someone pays. so the point we've been making,en by the way, i've introduced cassidy collins patient freedom act for other

co-sponsors, wait a second, we know that congress is going to establish all access to health care, let's do it in a fiscally conservative way that can lower premiums, fulfilling president trump's pledges. so republicans don't have to go and say you don't have a right, because frankly congress has established that. we need to go and say let's do it in a fiscally conservative way that lowers premiums. leland: where do we go from here? you've got the president now saying, look, we're going to move on to tax reform. he wants it done in at least according to some counts, 54 legislative days, which would be ambitious at best, meantime, and this point was made by the president, it was made by republican senators, it was paid by paul ryan. you had to repeal and replace obamacare to get the trillion or so dollars in savings in order to have these massive tax cuts. so, you know, there's the argument which comes first the chicken or the egg. and the decision was first have the egg of health care and chicken of tax reforms.

but now the egg is dead. >> you don't have to repeal for obamacare in order to do tax reform. dave camp had a bill which lowered corporate tax rates significantly and individual tax rates, and did it by only repealing two very minor taxes associated with obamacare. so, you absolutely can have tax reform without repealing the pay fors. but i'll go back. it is better to manage health care expenditures as a cost center and not just write checks. and the fiscally conservative way to do it is what we have in the patient freedom act which returns power to patients and to states. let state capitals make the decisions about the health care law, not the nation's capital. it's a state's rights bill, a patient's rights bill and we think it's a better way to go. leland: as much as you think it's a better way to go and some of your colleagues who c

co-sponsored it did not get a lot of attention, paul ryan and a newspaper calls the g.o.p. cave on obamacare, quote, the worst broken promise in political history. are' now back in louisiana. i know you flew back yesterday, last night. are your constituents upset about this not being repealed? do they feel like the promise has been broken that they've voted for the g.o.p. in 2010, 12, 14, 16 and now all of a sudden, just hasn't delivered. >> only thing i can take from my phone calls, the phone calls to my office, about 70% of them want to repeal and replace obamacare and didn't care for the law before the house of representatives. they didn't care for it because they felt it didn't cover the pledges of president trump to cover everyone would lower premiums and patient costs.

patient freedom does that. so if mr. cline says it's broken, i think the president's tweet this morning points out for it to happen, it has to be bipartisan. i would say it has to return power to the patient and to the state. again, we think the cassidy-collins bill would do that. leland: certainly it would allow to get around the byrd rule. the 70% is stunning. we haven't heard that from freedom caucus guys as well. and appreciate you being here from louisiana. >> thank you. leland: see you back here. there's a lot of news coming out this weekends and fox news is your place, what comes next on the health care bill, on tax reform, and on the rest of president trump's agenda. who better to talk about that tomorrow 11 a.m. eastern, howard kirtz talking to former trump manager coy cory lundowski.

and reince priebus to talk about the health care bill and shift to tax reform. check your listings for time and channel on that. elizabeth: accusations are flying between the two leaders of the house intelligence committee over the handling of the russia probe, including that campaign advisors picked up and named during surveillance of foreign targets. and garrett is here with the latest. >> hey, liz, the naming of those individuals is what's most concerning here. this week, the head of the house intelligence, he had received communications that trump officials had been picked up during surveillance of separate foreign targets. by law, americans caught up in that must have their names removed from transcripts or masked. but here, chairman nunez

suggested the names of those trump officials were unmasked and then spread for potentially political reasons. >> there are reasons to unmask names, i can tell you, without question, at least some of what i've seen, i don't know what that mean would be. maybe someone has a good reason for it, but not from what i've been able to read. >> shortly after that press conferences, democratic counter part adam schiff held one of his own and questioned nunez's motivation and ability to overs oversee this over the white house. >> it's not he hasn't shared them with democrats on the committee, he hasn't shared with republicans on the committee and essentially all of us are in the dark, but what was most concerning about that whole incident is taking that information to the white house. >> and schiff was upset that

nunes, calling it an attempt to choke off public info. next week hearing from james comey and mike rogers behind closed doors and soon, they may hear from several trump campaign in transition officials as well who have come forward and volunteered to testify, including former campaign manager paul manafort and roger stone and a carter page. elizabeth: garrett, thank you so much. let's continue the conversation. let's bring in a cyber security reporter at politico. he's been following the hearings and thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. elizabeth: before we get into the politics because we certainly could talk the entire hour about it, i want to get your take and reporting what we've learned this week, the take away from any russian involvement in the election in 2016. >> the big take away came on monday with fbi director comey before the house intelligence committee, he said, yes, his agency is looking into the cyber

attacks that happened during the election season that allegedly came from russia and looking into possible collusion between possible trump campaign officials and officials in moscow, those are the take aways. elizabeth: we had that nugget and then we sort of saw this political landscape gets, i guess you could say more terse between the two parties. what developed between the two political parties and is it more partisan now than it has been? >> what happened after the hearing on wednesday, house intelligence community devon nunes came out by himself said a source had come to him with information showing that trump transition officials had been inadvertently surveilled during kneel surveillance operations. he did that before-- >> had the investigation-- does it hurt the committee's investigation? >> seemingly right now, yes. elizabeth: okay. >> because he made this declaration without speaking to anyone else in the committee including his republican colleagues.

he made the pronouncement that he had the source and went to the white house presumably under investigation right now. some officials are under investigation right now. and it's weakens the house intelligence committee. elizabeth: those who support say he's doing his job. >> some are saying that. some say he's doing the wrong way and that he should have given adam schiff a heads up and his republican colleagues. one lawmaker said wednesday's events in particular were a textbook example of what not to do. elizabeth: who are we supposed to hear from this coming week and has that-- are we going to be hearing from folks we didn't know? >> well, in terms of who we will be hearing from, let's talk about the senate intelligence committee, they're holding a two-part session on thursday and if you're looking for big names there, sorry to disappoint you're not going to see a lot of big names, it will be cyber security experts.

the most recognizable is the former nsa director keith alexander, he left in 2014 and came out and said how they might have used social media or russia might have used social media or tactics, how we should respond. that would be my big fake-- take away from that. the house intelligence community was supposed to have james clapper and john brennan and others, that's now been canceled. elizabeth: reaction on that? because now there's going to be private hearings, but we've heard democrats critical now that they're not public. >> very critical about that, they're critical because they believe as mr. schiff put it, an attempt to choke off public information. remember, monday's hearing with director comey and admiral mike rogers was the public's first opportunity to learn why congress was so concerned about this stuff. so democrats i think were looking to build on that and just keep this sort of issue in the spotlight, canceling hearings, going behind closed

doors, the public is going to move on or forgot about it. elizabeth: we'll find little nuggets of details so we know where to go to. martin, thank you for joining us, it's a busy week last week and this week and thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: leland. leland: great interview. head vice-president pence headed to west virginia now,as he listens to small business owners to feel ignored by washington. he'll tell you what he's hearing. and the big national security story, nuclear north korea, the communist regime reportedly preparing another underground nuclear test. we're talking how president trump should respond. more on tracking terror, piecing together the background of the man who went on that murderous rampage in london. live to london with the saudi connection next. g new cars.

you're smart. you already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar.

>> new information this weekend on the two illegal immigrants accused of raping a 14-year-old girl at their high school. both of the teens spent a short time in federal custody after illegally crossing the border into the united states last year. they were released and made

their way to rockville, maryland and started school. caroline shively with us. there are two stories here, there's the story of this alleged rape of a young woman, tragic, horrific under any circumstances and then there's this whole other political component now of why were these guys here in the first place? what happens in sanctuary cities. >> yes, it's absolutely blown up this week, as the court battle starts. despite being here illegally, the two were still allowed to be enrolled in that maryland high school where they're accused of raping a 14-year-old girl during school hours. 18-year-old henry sanchez is from guatemala. he was a pending alien removal case against him. 17-year-old jose mantano was from el salvador. he's a minor, but tried as an adult. they say they pushed the girl into the bathroom and raped her.

one a violent rape of a lawyer's daughter and the other get mat tal detectors. >> the hysteria and outrage in the last week over this case is getting out of control, and the reason for that is, i believe, that it's because of the disgusting vitriol that's been spewed by donald trump since the beginning of his campaign. >> a new homeland security report shows that montgomery county is near the top of u.s. jurisdictions to decline immigration and customs detainers. maryland's governor calls it a sanctuary county. >> so, a bill here in the legislature, which i threatened to veto, which would make maryland a sanctuary state and prohibit our local and state law enforcement or interfere with their ability to cooperate with federal law enforcement, which i'm absolutely opposed to. >> montano's lawyer says his

client is incident and sanchez's lawyer says there's nothing to prove it wasn't consensual. >> when you listen to the law r lawyer, you get a whiff of blame the victim. caroline, thank you. we've not heard of end of the story. coming up later, we'll sit down with two immigration experts for a fair and balanced debate what it means for sanctuary cities and the president and the wall. liz, back outside to you, with perhaps a little bit of color and joy right now. elizabeth: that's right, coming up on this beautiful spring day in washington, we're going to have more on the cherry blossom festival, both here at the tidal basin and across down at the american art museum where japanese performers are celebrating their culture, of course, and the unique relationship with the capital. we'll see a live look and

there's much more after the break here on america's news headquarters. ♪ fun in art class.

come close, come close. i like that. [ all sounds come to a crashing halt ] ah. when your pain reliever stops working, your whole day stops. awww. try this. for minor arthritis pain, only aleve is fda approved to work for up to 12 straight hours with just one pill. thank you.

come on everybody. aleve. live whole. not part.

>> all right, you're looking live and the tidal basin adjacent to the national mall where you can see hundreds of thousands of people are out enjoying the cherry blossoms. at the american art museum there's music throughout the day, celebrating the unique relationship between japan and united states. in the meantime, we're covering the story not far from here, allegations of rape at a maryland high school, and the two suspects each illegally entered the united states last near. maryland is just one of nearly 30 states that have either proposed or passed bills that deal with sanctuary policies.

the state's bill has become a major issue in the wake of the rockville case. so let's bring in our fair and balanced panel on immigration policy, tom is the vice-president of immigration policy with the americans-- with the center for american progress and bob bain, the director for federation for immigration reform. gentlemen, thank you for joining us. bob, i want to start with you because when we hear both the arguments, those who argue for sanctuary cities and those who argue against sanctuary cities. both say they make jurisdictions safer. which is it? >> sanctuary policies and the ordinances are dangerous, counterproductive to reforming immigration the way that the public wants and they defy federal law. what this rape was a crime, but this was a crime exacerbated, created by open borders, lax enforcement, catch and release policy and proliferation of

sanctuary city policies. 300 all over america that aid and abet and welcome and reward illegal immigration. if you build it, they will come. now you've got 300,000 illegal aliens in the state of maryland, $2 billion a year in costs, but this goes way beyond monetary costs, this is a public safety risk and this woman who was allegedly brutally raped in a bathroom stall knows at that all too well. elizabeth: all right. tom, i wants to bring you in here because we heard bob mention the state of maryland. and the state of maryland is just one of the states across the country that are considering actually making the entire state a sanctuary state. we heard from governor larry hogan in the wake of this alleged incident. i want to play a quick sound bite and get your reaction. take a listen. >> i'm not sure i could give assurances that a crime would never happen in a state. we're getting to the bottom of this one and how it was allowed to happen and there was a bill

that i threatened to veto which would make maryland a sanctuary state and prohibit hour local and state law ent format or ent fear with their ability to cooperate with federal law enforcement. elizabeth: so, tom, you heard there the governor said that this bill would prohibit lawmakers from falling in line with federal lawmakers. what's your take on that? >> yeah, so just start out by saying, what we're talking about here is an allegation of serious sexual assault on a high school campus. i've got two kids and the allegations here are stomach turning. i'm very heartened by the fact that the police apprehended two suspects very quickly, they're in custody and prosecutors are going to be proceeding with pretty serious charges and we're going to hopefully see a fair and just result coming out of the court system. and we're seeing the school administrator take the situation very seriously. doing a very serious review of their security protocols in order to make sure they can ensure this thing can't happen again.

we know it's not the first time-- >> my question is sort of a larger picture here, when we have these jurisdictions who interpret differently how they need to be handling immigration, how can there be any type of immigration reform or handling immigration, really, across the nation? >> so the reason why. elizabeth: if you will. >> the reason i would address this has a public safety and sexual assault on campus concern, because that's really all this is about. there's nothing unique here about the case that deals with the immigration status of the individuals. they had never been-- they've never encountered local law enforcement previously. there's no allegation that they're in a gang affiliation, there's no indication whatsoever. the fact that they're immigrants has any impact on the crimes they committed. going back to what bob mentioned there have been numerous studies about the impact of the sanctuary jurisdiction policies on criminality and immigrants broadly on crime. what the research shows time and time again that immigrants are

far less likely than native born people to be incarcerated. elizabeth: bob, i want to let you respond to that. >> i will concede the point that legal immigrants commit crimes at a rate less than the general population, that's because they have an incentive to do so otherwise they'll be deported if they do so. but the illegal immigrants commit crimes at a higher rate. one of the reason the public in maryland is mad about this, because the school officials in montgomery county are going through this ornamenttation to appease the public with more cameras and hall monitors when in fact they're missing the elephant in the room, which is ill immigration. if the public school officials and school board want it put their money where their mouth is they need to recognize they want safe schools, they need safe communities and need to push back against the dangerous and idiotic policies promoted by the leftist politicians in maryland and across the country. >> right, in 600 jurisdictions around the country law enforcement and local officials have adopted policies they'll

hold people unconstitutionally based solely upon request by immigration enforcement. >> and that-- >> we're seeing the los angeles police department chief just said two days ago, that we're seeing a dramatic and unprecedented decline in claims about sexual assault by latinos, in denver the city prosecutor had to drop prosecution for assault because immigrants were afraid to come forward. what makes communities safer when victims of crimes can come forward and cooperate and that's why the again. elizabeth: the last word. >> look, one of the reasons we're seeing a buckling by local politicians to oppose sanctuary policies because the a.c.l.u. is all over their back threatening lawsuit. tell them go pound sand and tell them your kids safety is more important than politics. elizabeth: thank you for

joining us. this conversation will continue i'm sure. leland. leland: a fox news alert as we're learning more about the terrorist who murdered four people and injured dozens of others outside of britain's parliament. royal saudi arabia says that khalid masood had taught there and kitty with more from london. you have the sense that there were a lot of dots that could have been collected. >> yeah, more detailed picture of the attacker emerging now. he had, as you say, a history of criminal convictions for violence, but none of those were terrorism related. now, yesterday, police released an image of khalid masood, but this man used different identities throughout his life. he was born and grew up in a middle class area of southern england and later converted to islam and changed his name after

being in prison for assault. authorities believe he may have been radicalized there, but there are questions about what he did in saudi arabia. security service there is said he didn't come to their attention, but masood was known to security services in britain about you not considered enough of a threat to be investigated. at 52, his age may have not matched the profiles of a likely extremist. now, though police say that they believe that masood was acting alone, we don't to if he collaborated with others prior to the attack or who may have supported him or could have known of his plans. now, it has emerged, masood exchanged messages prior to the attack and just three minutes before starting his deadly rampage and the question is, who was he talking to? police have now released most of those who they have arrested in connection with this attack. only two are still held. none have been charged.

so they are now appealing for more people to come forward with any relevant information. now, meanwhile, members of the public have been laying flowers, paying tributes, near the scene of the attack outside parliament. which has now opened up. now, some of these are local londoners, others are tourists, but while authorities are keen to allow life in london to get back to normal, there will now be a security review of the parliament state, the attacker was able to breach fairly easily. questions asked how that could have been possible. now, there are twice the number of armed police outten streets of london and that measure is likely to stay in place for some time. leland: kitty logan with more in the next hour, what's coming up, liz. elizabeth: north korea is flexing its muscles and testing the world's patience yet again. the latest intel on what kim jong-un is up to and how the u.s. should respondent.

next, it's a d.c. tradition, waving the beautiful cherry blossoms bloom. we're coming back here to the national mall for the meaning of these iconic trees. >> this is what we expected to see. it's beautiful. some brown from the last snowstorm unfortunately, but it's gorgeous. >> and i don't think there's anything as beautiful. in person, they're actually amazing. let's take a look at some numbers:

4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first symptom... is a stroke. 80 percent of all strokes and heart disease? preventable. and 149 dollars is all it takes to get screened and help take control of your health. we're life line screening... and if you're over 50... call this number, to schedule an appointment... for five painless screenings that go beyond regular check-ups. we use ultrasound technology to literally look inside your arteries... for plaque which builds up as you age- and increases your risk for stroke and cardiovascular disease. and by getting them through this package, you're saving over 50%. so call today and consider these numbers:

for just $149 you'll receive five screenings that could reveal what your body isn't telling you. i'm gonna tell you that was the best $150 i ever spent in my life. life line screening. the power of prevention. call now tow to learn more. >> now, this weekend, the pentagon among others remain on high alert for a possible north korean nuclear test. there are signs it could be imminent. and the news comes as joint u.s.-south korean war games continue on the korean peninsula. could a war of words bring in a real war? and we'll have from the davis institute, we've seen this before, we've seen nuclear tests

before, missile tests before, the rhetoric from pyongyang. at what point will they do something that the united states and south korea is forced to respond to with something other than words? >> this is a country that basically sank a south korean frigate without warning and at one point blew up the entire south korean cabinet. it's hard to predict when they'll go beyond the bound of acceptable behavior. leland: what is the game here? if the game is simply regime survivoral, why keep poking the proverbial bear that is the u.s. military? >> in the first place, past pokes didn't have a reaction. leland: do they need a reaction, need that to improve his standing with his own people? >> that certainly doesn't hurt, but i think part of it is also keeping the americans at arm's length. this is your classic madman's theory.

if i'm willing to do this on a ram do many -- random tuesday morning, imagine how i would react if you came at me. stay or else. leland: and kim jong-un, we have a picture that we found and this struck, as shall we say unusual. was this a choreographed or impromptu piggyback ride and this is from a guy who has perfected even relatives around him. >> this is a man who executed partners and family members with anti-aircraft carriers. leland: you don't just jump on for a piggyback ride? >> it would be risky. leland: if everything is choreographed why about ut that out? >> i think the message, we have a great publishment and senior military leaders around kim jong-un are delighted. look at what we've achieved. leland: look how happy we are,

i'm so happy i'll give you a piggyback ride. that's one way to show, i guess, appreciation to your military. so, where does this go from here? we have the u.s.-south korean war games sort of continuing for the next couple of months. we've had this rhetoric from the u.s. secretary of state, who at least sort of made it overture there could be u.s. military action. do we get to that point or walk away and decide to fight another day. leland:. >> actually the administration demonstrated resolve. they've cut off north korea's banks from the system. and this hit north korea and particularly the kim family where it hurts. and that's when secretary tillerson everything is on the table. we're seeing more moves in play. leland: does that increase the chance that they, for lack of a better term, go nuclear or does that mean that the kim family goes, you know, maybe we're not going to take this guy on?

>> when you hurt the guy in his pocket book, i think that you are really forcing them to consider if things keep going down this path, you're really not going to be left with anything at all. leland: and we keep hearing from at least from the administration, our sources there, that they're willing to continue to twist the thumb screws. dean, excellent analysis, appreciate it. great having you. liz. elizabeth: well, leland, it's an annual rite of spring here in our nation's capital. as you can see, the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom here on the national mall. the country's first lady played a very pivotal role in this colorful tradition. we'll tell you more after the break. stick around. millions of you are online right now, searching one topic. that will generate over 600 million results. and if you've been diagnosed with cancer, searching for answers like where to treat, can feel even more overwhelming.

>> blossoms mean springtime in washington and mean old japan. there's a ceremony wandering in the forest. elizabeth: that was the scene here at the tidal basin, 81 is years ago 1936. in just a few years, the united states would be at war with japan. the japanese ambassador at the time seen in the old news reel didn't live to see the war break out.

he died of tuberculosis here in washington in 1939. that's part of the remarkable history of this place and of course, that saw the first plantings of the cherry blossoms with the first lady back in 1912. as you know, they were a gift from japan so we'll learn much more about the relationship between the cherry blossoms and the first ladies in our next hour. behind me, leland, we have thousands of visitors here in the district. we're going to hear not only from the first ladies, but also from someone from the park service. we're approaching peak bloom lasting between four and seven days. obviously, some are not going to be blooming because we did have that freeze last weekend, but that doesn't mean that we're not going to see upwards of about a million and a half visitors in the district to enjoy the scenery behind me and the national mall. it's a beautiful time of here. leland: it really is special and if you get to come to washington d.c. and walk through it when it's all in white as it was last

year, there's something magical, not only about the view, but the smell, and the experience, and then you go back and do what you just did, and think about the history there as relates not only to the cherry trees that came from new york-- from japan, rather, but then the history through world war ii and i know you'll get into a little bit of that with the japanese ambassador, only ten years after world war ii that the japanese prime minister came over and played golf with president eisenhauer: and next hour, house speaker ryan, and president trump say obamacare is the law of the land for now. what's next for the g.o.p. and reforming health care after a major setback and then we go m festival as the trees, you heard from liz, are in full bloom and get more on the festivities and

see if liz can bring us back donuts in the studio. ♪ him..

>> after the healthcare defeat, donald trump is working this saturday, as are we in washington, for our nice to be

at home with you, and on a spring saturday, you drew the high card. >> reporter: i'm in the beautiful title basin, here's what is making news. don't worry from president trump one day after the gop healthcare bill is pulled from the house floor. what congress should be focusing on next. leland:top members of the house intelligence committee at odds as they prepare for more hearings investigating russia's involvement in the 2016 election. >> i am here for look at the cherry blossoms and japanese artists are performing throughout the day today.

the blame game is in high gear in washington one day after republicans pool their bill to repeal and replace obamacare. donald trump says there was no help in democrats but republicans did not deliver the vote. a stunning and big legislative loss for the young administration and gop congress. kevin cork it that the white house, the president saying healthcare reform will get done and how? >> they are banking on continued reports of dwindling exchanges and the rising healthcare costs, that will force democrats to come through about reform, and they have to do something to save the affordable care act,

obamacare will explode and peace together a healthcare plan for the people, do not worry, democrat leaders, nancy pelosi, dancing on the proverbial healthcare saying the effort to repeal and replace is over. they are searching for a long-term fixed. >> this is all fixable if we solve the problem and not beat each other up. >> before the democrats can get the job done it is important for the gop to get its act together. paul ryan admitting it was a big disappointment but ultimately they have to learn how to lead in control. the opposition party for quite some time and now that they are in control they have to build coalitions among their own party before they can reach out to work out a deal and push reforms with the other folks.

>> reporter: the president yesterday was looking forward, what exactly is next for the white house? >> reporter: they will talk about regulatory reform, tax reform, keep your eye on capitol hill because the white house wants to ensure the president's nominee does it confirm it. we are talking about neil gorsuch, stand out from the 10th circuit, being opposed by democrats who are threatening to filibuster his nomination leading some including the president to speculate whether or not it is time to go to the so-called nuclear option. >> the same gridlock they had in washington for the last longer than eight years. if we end up with that gridlock -- >> reporter: for folks at home who don't follow this inside

baseball stuff, what that would do is ultimately reduce the threshold to move forward on confirmation vote from 60 to 51. it is fair to say that would be a risky proposition for both parties because while the gop is in control now, what happens if the democrats wrest control of the senate in a couple years? and that is what makes it risky. >> just because the healthcare bill didn't go through doesn't mean there is not a shortage of news. thank you so much. after a chaotic week on capitol hill, at the title basin, thoughts on the battle over healthcare, take a listen. >> we got to get rid of obamacare. the conservatives, we have to go more conservative on some of the issues, the next two or three

years. it is not perfect but improving. >> we ought to have universal healthcare. that will never happen. what can i say? >> there is a divide in congress, the repeal and replace, what do lawmakers think? congressman robert kittinger supported the healthcare law and 39th wedding anniversary, thank you for joining us on this day today. as the dust is settling, your reaction today? >> it was a sad day yesterday. we need to take a lesson from ronald reagan, his governance was based on the 80% rule.

80% of any bill was very different and is objective and we can't go in with any consideration of legislation and anticipate that we should get 100%. we are -- >> for those members were they not getting 80% of what they wanted? i am referring to the freedom caucus members. >> they want it fully their way and have to be consider those who live in districts and demographics, more seniors, more people who are in poverty, district are far different and you have to recognize in a body of 240 people we offer different perspectives and different recognition of issues we must address. it is a little stringent, having

to recognize them for their requirement for 100% of what they want and that is why it is so important to follow -- we will be able to get there. >> reporter: i want to ask what you are hearing from your constituents and those who wanted to see a vote take place. they wanted blame to go around and holding blows makers accountable because they didn't get that vote? >> i just spoke this morning in rocking ham, north carolina, a rural community, and the county convention, they were absolutely so mad that we did not pass this bill, people held out, would not agree to make sure we could not pass with conservative reform and very angry because they

knew, healthcare back to the states and lowered premiums, give healthcare back in the hands of the american people, reform medicaid, reduce taxes by $1 trillion. >> reporter: if i may interrupt, it does sound great on paper but wouldn't the senate -- would we have seen any progress in the chamber? >> that is our democratic process, how we legislate. we pass a bill in the house and take it to the senate and reforms come back to us. we had to go to first base. we didn't get to first base. beyond first base, the secretary has the right to address 1200 rules. the secretary of hhs to

determine those rules and we were able to go into the third phase which would be legislation that would open state lines. >> the legislation, the kratz cheering this morning, should they be cheering? >> they shouldn't be cheering when they have an increase in rates to carriers. the reform they passed, the bill they passed, on a death spiral, when humansay, there is no opportunity for this healthcare plan to succeed. >> thank you for joining us, happy anniversary, appreciate it. leland: fox news alert breaking over the weekend, top ranking democrat of the house intel committee, the independent

commission to take over the probe of russian involvement influencing the 2016 election, the intelligence committee was seen as a bipartisan bastion has split along partisan lines over handling of reports and campaign advisers were picked up and named during surveillance of foreign intelligence targets. to make sense, in washington, good luck. >> the chairman of the house intelligence committee devon nunez said if you receive evidence, the names of the trump transition officials who were unmasked and spread through the intelligence committee during the final days of the obama administration. by law americans caught up in surveillance of foreign targets

must -- nunez said he is concerned because he hasn't seen any reason for why the names of trump transition officials would have been unmet. >> there was additional unmasking that was done, the documents that i read the other day i don't know who asked for them to be unmasked but there are more. just so you know i was aware of the unmasking before i read the documents. >> reporter: nunez is the only one who has seen evidence and a lot of criticism from republicans and democrats for going straight to the press and the president when he received that evidence rather than first sharing it with members of the house intelligence committee. some are calling for nunez to step down from leading this investigation. others including his democratic counterpart adam schiff once congress to appoint special committee for meddling in the election and the trump

administration. >> most important and independent commission would be able to conduct its work insulated from any political interference. >> several transition officials. testify as part of the investigation including several who have been identified as potentially having ties to russia in the past including paul manaford and carter page who said they would be willing to come as well. voted early next week, house intelligence committee expecting to receive new documents showing how many americans are swept up in this foreign surveillance operation and unmasked or identified including members of the trump and clinton campaign. leland: thank you. for reaction let's bring in our

fair and balanced panel, former senior advisor to president george w. bush, and out was part of the clinton finance team. i had to cough at some point and you were the victim. let's break this down, brad. for all inside the beltway this is fabulous to talk about the ins and outs over drinks but doesn't get lost at some point, garrett's report barely scratched the surface of one part of the scandal. >> it is multifaceted but let's break it down. as a lawyer there has been a breach by the naming of americans incidental to the collection of foreign intelligence. let's start there. the fbi can find brady up super bowl jersey in mexico why can't they find the leakers of classified formation. american people deserve to know

and those who unt for that infod take it a step further. the ability to go to surveillance american citizens is a problem which i am not for printing congressional responsibility to a third-party, we elected these people. the relevant committees -- there is a reasonable question. you are not for pending. a reasonable question for devon nunez doing the people's work or is he doing president trump's work? when you hold a press conference without talking to the ranking member and run up to the white house, at the very least it calls your motives into question. >> i thought it was not handled well at all and the ranking member of the minority this is not a reason for him to step down. what he is calling for is independent counsel for the

commission. if they can't get along that is tough but i want to be in the open before the american people and let them be the judge. >> what is unique about this scandal if you want to call it that. there is a lot of smoke but don't know if there is any fire, there's something for everyone, something for the republicans, it did happen, members of the trump transition team's names were unmasked and leaked out which by all accounts on its basis, we have seen the facts and evidence and on the other hand the fact that members of the trump transition team were caught up in surveillance which brings up some shall we say serious question and then the whole question of russian involvement or russian hacking and russian influencing, something on the item for everybody. >> that last question, a foreign

adversary trying to influence our election and deepest eval lies the integrity of the democratic process. it is a distraction. there may have been weeks, the fbi should go after them and they will but they will also look at what level of disruption russia achieved and who helped them, if anyone in america do so. that is important. >> when you have a situation where everyone is demanding an investigation into something, where do you go? how do you trust anybody who has clearly a partisan bed in anything congress does to do so in a bipartisan way? >> they are holding hearings. hold as many as you can on the subject matters before the american people in open session and we have the fbi, they have a whole cadre of agents looking at this as we speak, overseas, a lot of people looking at this.

it needs to be done in the sunshine. >> last question, is there a point that is so far reaching involving so many people, some with questionable backgrounds and others who do not, then you run into the situation of the law of unintended consequences, who knows where this thing goes, who knows what it kicks up either about contacts the clinton campaign may have had with russian operatives, who knows what may have happened with the trump campaign, this could go anywhere. >> we have to go where the facts take us and i agree about open hearings. let the american people in and make an educated decision, i am heartened by what is going on in the u.s. senate, a lot of focus on nunez and his committee, senator burr and senator warner have a good bipartisan process going on and they can get to the fact that an open process and i

agree the fbi will do so quite aggressively. >> we can end it. we are going to end for time. thanks, gentlemen, great conversation. something certainly stoking bipartisan feelings, allegation of rape at a high school has reignited the nationwide debate on sanctuary cities. details about how it could have been prevented and daredevil pilots are back here. after three decades, we are going to take a moment to say thank you to those who deserve all our thanks as the president did when he honored the medal of honor recipients.

>> you are looking at beautiful cherry blossoms at the white house. this time of year is the talk of the town and every spring to see

the cherry blossoms bloom at the national cherry blossom festival, part of a remarkable history of this place that saw the first planting of the cherry blossom, helen task in 1912. the word gets from japan, joining us is the one and only first lady's man and author of the unusual for the time, and the huge friend of the show as well. thank you for joining us. my first question for you, the landscape in 1912. >> they were built on a swamp and when helen passed first, had the opportunity to give it a facelift and an attraction, and henry ford made his model t in

1908. and the new capital she decided she was influenced by riverfront parts when she and her husband were in asia and the philippines and brought the cherry blossoms in. >> the original trees still here? when they first arrived give me a little history. >> the first batch in 1910, they were surprisingly but they were bug infested. the secretary of the interior and president taft ordered them to be burned and they were taken to the national mall and they made cherry blossom bonfires. the japanese were very embarrassed and send 3000 some trees in 1912 when they were planted and some of the original ones are behind us across the river in the washington monument, very gnarled and branch out over the water, some of the originals are still

around. >> give us some history, it was on the west coast. transported here. it wasn't a small -- >> not at all. taft was originally going to get them from a nursery in pennsylvania but the japanese found out, no, you're getting it from us, real cherry blossom trees, the second batch came in, first lady taft and the japanese prime minister planned the first two over by the washington monument. >> the national park service told us upwards of 1 million people will come so it has become rich with tradition. the symbolism, they bloom, four and seven days but there is symbolism. >> a lot of it goes back, when the americans helped the japanese, japanese artifacts, it

was all the rage. into the homes and artwork and screens and paintings and things made national sense for her to want to do this around the title basin and give a facelift to the whole area and bring people in. millions of people come here to see this and they don't think of hell and have to. he is -- is the first lady to donate the first dress, the first inaugural address to the smithsonian so all these things we think about from a first lady that we don't think about when we think about first ladies. >> this is awesome, thank you so much. really quickly, can people learn from your book? >> there is a big chapter on helen taft, you can get it on first ladies man.com, videos, put this video up and fun to be here. >> thank you so much.

>> administration is busy with its next steps after healthcare but the president took a break to welcome american heroes into the oval office. video from that, 25 medal of honor recipients, the white house to celebrate medal of honor day that was formalized by congress in 1990 and under president george hw bush. president trump said it was a great honor to share the room. >> to all the cabinet here today and all those warriors who could not be with us, thank you. your acts of valor inspire us and show us there is always someone on the night watch to assure bright sunrises, each and every morning. god bless you, god bless our military and god bless the united states of america. i think you for being here.

>> we watch this yesterday, to think of the humbling experience of all the very great men in the oval office. >> every year on memorial day fox sits with medal of honor recipients and is a four minute piece, telling the story how they went on to receive this metal. each man says i am not a hero, this metal belongs to men left on the battlefield, and telling perhaps about the continuity of not their story but their belief that they don't deserve it which emphasizes that word even more. >> absolutely. coming back after the break, those killed in london including one american, the us tightened security on an airplane, a new design to keep you safe while

flying. the legal status of suspected a maryland high school case, a fresh fate over immigration laws, the latest on the details on that investigation after the break.

these allegations in rockville, maryland first came to the united states after crossing the border and being detained by federal officials, renewing a public debate over illegal immigration, caroline has been following the latest details and joins us now. can you go over the teams, what they are accused of? >> according to police they are accused of dragging a 14-year-old girl into a bathroom

stall and raping her during school hours, she thought, grabbing a bathroom sink not get dragged into that. they came into this country illegally last year when both were underage. and researchers from guatemala, came here from el salvador. montana is being held in a juvenile detention center but being tried as an adult. lawyers from the two accused teams receiving hate mail, one threatening violent rape of a daughter and another suggesting metal detectors, one lawyer blames the president. >> the sensationalism and outrage and hysteria that has been taking place over the last weekend this case is getting out of control. the reason for that, i believe, because of the disgusting vitriol that has been spewed by donald trump ever since the beginning of his campaign. >> every given notice to appear before immigration judges when they were caught -- caught

crossing the border, but they are considered low priority, they were sent to live with relatives in maryland. >> reporter: montgomery county is a sanctuary county. explain to our viewers what that means. >> homeland security reports montgomery county near the top of us jurisdiction, declining immigration and customs detainers. >> montgomery county is acting as a sanctuary county and they are not cooperating, that is a big part of the problem. >> the federal government wants and illegal immigrant detained but local authorities don't comply. illegal immigrants will be too scared to report a crime. donald trump is not buying that argument, it issued an executive order to force governments on immigration orders. >> very tense story, thank you.

leland: we are learning about the terrace to kill four including one american this week. he had deep ties to saudi arabia and lived there at least twice. a number of dots the british did not connect, the relatively unsophisticated london attack comes as the united states and british sound alarm bells about how terrorists might hide bonds and laptops and sneak them on us down their liners. tom blank forcing insight and analysis. every time after one of these attacks whether it is a lone wolf who drives a car into a crowd, and a more sophisticated plot that involves the san bernardino attack. looking at this history you go how did we miss this? here we go again.

>> the terrorist threat, in many different directions, a balancing act, civil freedoms, in the society, not to vote and abandon our values. we are trying to keep people free. finding that balance can be a difficult proposition. >> it can be a difficult proposition in the word everyone keeps, going back to, balancing the privacy concerns of everybody. on the other hand when you have somebody with a violent criminal history known to the authorities they go to saudi arabia a couple times, change their name to adrian to massoud and use multiple aliases. at some point by those actions, you have given up a certain number of your rights to privacy and would that make us safer?

>> it depends on the period of time. when you look at these lone wolf attacks, this may not be lone wolf, nine people arrested that are associated with it. they sponsor terrorism. they seem to be disassociated -- >> violent in their background. >> we know that is a given. so many people over what period of time, once -- months, weeks or years, in order to prevent this kind of lone wolf event. >> the best surveillance in the world on this fellow, trailing him as he drove down westminster bridge, until crashed into westminster itself. bringing us to this divide we have seen, terrorism until 2001 was these 1-off, well-planned attacks, then you had

september 11th, extraordinarily sophisticated in its planning and execution and now we are at that point we have the unsophisticated attacks in london with cars started in the west bank and then these very sophisticated attacks being planned allegedly, we learned that now you can't bring laptops on some planes because terrorists are working to hide a bomb in a laptop and take her to an airport that has less than stellar security. >> addressing the aviation domain terrorists are highly interested in that avenue of attack because it is so disruptive. what happened in this instance is we know that bonds and bomb materials are constantly being reviewed, updated and changed and that means our airport security systems whether that is technology or people have to constantly be alert for changes in order to be sent problems.

it looks like intelligence came to the us and the us only had certain control over those foreign carriers. >> a lot of questions whether it is comprehensive enough to take a bomb from cairo to paris and get on a us bound flight. appreciate your insights as always. have to have you back and talk about it once an attack on an airplane has happened. >> great interview. back on american soil, flying the friendly skies which a look at one group of pilots in their first us show in 30 years. we have much more lives in the cherry blossom festival when we returned.
