before "outnumbered" starts right now! ♪ >> harris: this is outnumbered, i am harris faulkner, sandra smith, meghan mccain, host of kennedy, and today's #oneluckyguy, the former congressman of the great state of utah, and fox news contributor, jason chaffetz is here. he has "outnumbered," always great to have you. >> the new car smell. i will take that as a great complement. spoon i needed to too. let's do the news. at the white house is pushing back against a report in

"the new york times." that says that donald trump, jr., romance with a russian attorney to get the dirt on hillary clinton. that meeting was june 2016, and in that room. kushner, and then campaigned chairman paul man aboard. the term says dashcam team says that nothing came out of it. and could be the dirty tricks. the term, jr., statement now. the woman stated that she had information that connected to russia were pending the committee and supporting mrs. clinton. her statements were vague, ambiguous, may no sense. no details or information was provided or offered. a became clear that she had no meaningful information." but the ranking house intel schiff is not buying the information. >> no reason for this russian government advocate to be meeting with paul manafort or with the president's son if it was not about the campaign and russia policy. obviously they were trying to influence one of the candidates,

the leading candidates at that time on the republican ticket. spoon the kremlin is also weighing in saying that it is unaware of a meeting between donald trump, jr., and the russian lawyer, peter doocy with the news outside of the white house. >> donald trump, jr., says that he was offered a meeting with somebody who claimed to have info about russians bankrolling the dnc and supporting hillary clinton. he did not see a problem in hearing this person out. he tweeted a little while ago, obviously i meant the first person on the campaign to ever take a meeting to hear info about an opponent, went nowhere, had to listen. the reason that donald trump, jr., says it goes nowhere, as it turns out to the russian lawyer that he met with just offered up dirt on clinton to get some face time to talk about something else, ended up using the meeting to discuss a russian policy preventing americans from adopting russian children which had grown out of a visa ban for specific to --

suspected rights violators. to the white house says that there is nothing to see to hear. >> he goes into the meeting, he says it was vague, ambiguous, was very obvious immediately that there was no meaningful information, i think what is important here is that we are at day 200 or so of no evidence of russian collusion, people think they want to convert wishful thinking into hard evidence. >> and the ranking staff prebius trying to go with the appearance of collusion. >> it may have been affiliated with fusion gps, the opposition research firm that is being subpoenaed and talk to you by the senate judiciary committee about their role in putting together that phony dossier that people know about in regard to the president. it seems to be on the end of the trump individual, a big nothing-burger, but out of control for the dnc and the

democrats. >> there is a lot of noise about the story today, but nobody is accusing or reporting on the president knowing anything about the meeting until it was reported by "the new york times" a few days ago. >> harris: peter doocy, thank you so much. a lot of burgers. nothing-burger. >> jason: i know burgers, i have got to prove it. this is a nothing-burger. a seven months after the president has been sworn in, and the best that adam schiff can come up with is that this might have been something. >> meghan: is there anything wrong with her meeting with him? >> jason: no, they are in the tonsils of a really campaign, and somebody comes in, wants to share some information. i mean, that must have happened hundreds of times every day. >> harris: kellyanne conway saying that we are 200 days in, still pressing where there is no evidence of collusion between the white house, or formally of the campaign. what does a white house need at

this point to push back on this? >> kennedy: fewer distractions like this, because any time they have to explain a story and reexplain it, explain it again a third time, it takes away from the message which is that there was no russian collusion, perhaps they meddled in the election and did something inappropriate, and tried to tinker with the constitutional process, which is wholly unacceptable, then you have drips and grabs a leaked out about meetings like this. it was not just donald trump, jr., it was manafort and jared kushner, now a senior advisor. manafort is not a part of the administration anymore, but more problematic than it is worth rid of the fact that donald trump, jr., had to change his story, creates an even greater destruction on a week when we should be focusing on health care and tax reform, and it takes away from all of that. >> meghan: i completely echo what you are saying, so many distractions coming out of the white house, a lot of it is self-inflicted. i pushed back on some of the things that you are saying, the

research is 100% commonplace, and in any election, if you are running for dog catcher, you are going to get auto research on anyone who is running against you. what is not normal to me as having family members go and meet with those surrogates. i believe donald trump, jr., said that he would be the first person to meet with somebody who had this research. i think it is a little bit odd that he and manafort were doing it, usually that is the role of surrogates, so that is a little bit strange to me. >> kennedy: if a russian lawyer reach out to you? >> meghan: i would've forwarded the email to my father's campaign manager. i still don't buy into their terms colluding with russia, flying over to the kremlin, in bed together to try to get out hillary clinton. that's not what i think. i think they are mr. ashman served by their staff. if you are paul manafort, say, this is not a place for you. it could look kind of strange later on. we had a heated conversation on

the couch last week about objects and how important they are. there's a lot of pushback with trauma people saying it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. this is another example of this mattering. because again, as kennedy just said, we are talking about this today, not health care, not jobs, not his trip >> sandra: but you are still talking about optics and not wrongdoing. if you see the way that the media is covering this. >> meghan: mike pence said that there was no meaning at all, i believe president trump data, and donald trump, jr., said about adoption, so there is a live somewhere, whether it is illegal or not, i am not a lawyer, but it does not look great. >> harris: to piggyback off of what meghan just had, you are taking the anemic staffing that has gone on through the administration, certainly early on, and this was early on, so is this also may be a function of the fact that even the campaign was run like that? you had kind of a lien they are.

and people are meeting because you do not have the assets in place? >> jason: it was a winning campaign, they ended up winning, 30 out of 50 states is pretty impressive. some can say, oh, maybe you should not have the heating, but to donald trump, jr.,'s point, he quickly figured out that this person really did not have the information. so they moved on. but come on, yes, -- two years of the campaign. >> kennedy: what if there was meaningful information? when what if hillary clinton got that information? >> jason: listen to what reince priebus is saying. i don't think he talks about fusion gps just out of the blue. is this tied to what the democrats are trying to do? >> kennedy: but that detracts from the politics part of that would not surprise me at all if somebody they met in the 2013 miss universe pageant wanted to further their career or interest. not tethered to a party or a

philosophy, but his own ends. >> sandra: give me a break, if chelsea clinton would have done this, we would be screaming body murder, and i think that is my issue right now. >> jason: on the campaign, but they lost the campaign. >> meghan: so it only matters if you go into sworn meetings, with the campaign customer >> jason: it is a foreign entity. >> meghan: listen, i'm not buying into, as usual, i have said many times on the couch, not buying into the fact that there was a huge conspiracy, tinfoil hats between president trump and vladimir putin to make the campaign wind. that is not what i am buying into, i'm saying optically that it looks weird that he was going and meeting with them. i do not see that at all? today i get to talk about this again instead of talking about health care and policy. >> harris: part of the reason we are focused on it is because the white house is having message trips, where stories are changing, you have to reissue this coming you have kellyanne

conway -- >> sandra: that when you can take issue with. i'm not being critical, but pointing this out, this is what some have an issue with here, that he tried one account, when there for one purpose, then when pressed, said it was for a different purpose. he did not get anything out of that, so it does not count. >> jason: almost impossible to account for every 15 or 20 minutes meeting. >> meghan: do you go send your children to do awful research? >> jason: the entire family was in the campaign. i want to share this, i want to share that. you have to kind of hear them out to vet them. you go through the vetting process, let's remember, just last week or so we had four of the senior most resort people all uniformly saying that there has been no evidence, none of any collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. end of story. if there is some evidence, show it to us, democrats part of this

is the -- >> harris: there is a bottom line. but for the white house, is there anything that they can be doing to squash this, because it comes back at again in their laps? but they are focused on this also. >> jason: giving a response is appropriate, but listen to what reince priebus said, this is going to take some time to play itself out. it would be fascinating to know, and fascinating to know if the democrats were behind this and what happened? they are the opposition research for the democratic party, and let's see what their connection is. >> harris: is part of the republican leadership, do you feel pressured to defend the president? i hear a lot of crickets when it comes to other members of your party. >> jason: for me personally, i have been critical along the way, i was critical as a candidate. >> harris: you are speaking now, do you think you are doing enough voicing for the g.o.p.? >> jason: when balls and strikes come across a plate, i'm going to call them as they are.

they have done done things, this is not one of them. >> meghan: we see this in different ways, but i would like to come on tv on monday morning and not talk about russia. that would be a nice change of pace for all of us. >> kennedy: i don't think the way that they have handled these questions have been deft. >> sandra: you just think about does this impact his investigation? >> harris: back from vacation, so glad. the president is accusing fired fbi chief james comey of breaking the law, fox news has learned comey's memos contain sensitive, probably callous applied material. could comey be in legal trouble? the senate back in action with republicans facing a make or break moment on repealing obamacare. if they can make a plan and what are the consequences if they don't? and, oh, my gosh, becky, look at

♪ >> meghan: a possible bombshell as fox news has learned, james comey's memos may contain classified information, reporting nearly half of the seven memos that he wrote about his meetings with president trump contain sensitive material. while he testified last month that he believed the memos were his personal recollections and unclassified, coating the matter telling catherine herridge that the summaries are now being handled as government records and not as personal documents. meanwhile president trump tweeting... okay, going forward, what do you make of that? >> jason: if the director did what he said, go down on the computer and type out the notes, those are government records. there are some executive issues at play. and i do things that the conversations between the president and the fbi director

are probably most likely classified. this is different than going to your home diary and chatting down some notes about what you did that day. these are government records, when i had a chance to talk with director comey, he was allusive on this point. i asked him about the disposition where the location was, he would not talk about it. >> harris: what did that tell you at the time? >> jason: it really raised an eyebrow. i did not have a lot of conversations up with him, but a few. he was open, laughing, jovial, but on this point he was silent. >> sandra: are you aware that the president retreated to you saying that on "fox & friends," comey was silent when i asked him, he said that earlier today? so the person you have heard about that? >> jason: i'm glad that he is going to jason in the house, that's good. >> harris: i was reading today that had he just made notes that

paraphrased those conversations rather then he said, i said, that would speak to the legality of the issue as well. it would be like a couple of friends kind of talking, as you said, writing in a diary, but this is different. >> jason: talking directly to the president, that type of setting, being the fbi director, you don't get to take those notes and then give them to a friend who then gives it to the media with the intention of making that available, so that the special prosecutor is made. >> harris: called leaking. >> jason: exactly, he may have created some problems for himself. you cannot do this. >> kennedy: i disagree completely. i think he has raised low threshold so much with hillary clinton saying that she has essentially not accountable for mishandling classified information, and forwarding to people who should not have access to it. he raised it so high that he does not even come close.

he has created coverage for himself at the hillary clinton case. >> jason: his argument was that she did not have the cognitive ability to figure out what was classified and not classified. the director of the fbi is not going to be able to claim that he does not know that. >> kennedy: he said, she did not intend to do any harm to the country. >> jason: but he did intend. >> kennedy: i agree with you, he was not jotting down some haiku's about the cherry blossoms in spring time, this is a guy who is the director of the fbi recording documents and conversations that he had with the president of the united states in an official capacity, how is that not government material? >> harris: reporting that four of the memos had markings, making them clearly contained information secret or confidential. we have that conversation with hillary clinton. >> jason: director comey went up there and said that you do not have to have the markings on there. even if they did, let's pretend that they donate, again, the fbi

director knows the difference. >> kennedy: he can offer classified information. he is one of the people that i can do that. he can reclassify it. and he knows better, because he has explained it to us in great detail -- >> harris: what should happen to him? he should be fired again! seriously, what should happen? >> jason: as a general premise, you cannot take classified information and release it. if you do, you should have handcuffs on you and go to jail. we just had a young woman who took classified information, printed it out and gave it to a reporter, and what did they do? they put her in jail. to that standard be different if you are really high up in the government? >> kennedy: it seems that it is. >> harris: why is it different? >> jason: is one of those things that drives me crazy. it absolutely drives me crazy. 300 people know -- >> kennedy: because if you are powerful enough, there will be

no culpability for your behavior, i thought it was strange that he took these notes to begin with. i know that it was to keep after presidents with -- conversations with president trump. one of the tricks on the road as i can never keep a journal or diary ever. the very concept that he was going home and writing down everything on us a computer or wherever that someone could steal, hack, get into blows my mind. he is one of the great controversial figures of our time. you have to move on. to the senate back today, the clock is ticking. g.o.p. leaders starting a big push to get a health bill passed. if they can make good on their promise to repeal obamacare? warning that russia is not off the hook, and reports say that president trump gave into putin when it comes to meddling in our election, what this could mean for u.s.-russia relations. ♪ (man vo) dad forgot how to brush his teeth.

watch. >> what do we need to do now? go back to the beginning. introduce a bill, move it through, bring it to the floor, vote on it. if you shut out of the adversary, or the opposite party, you are going to end up the same way that obamacare did when they rammed it through with 60 votes. guess what, we don't have 60 votes. >> so what happens next week? >> my view is that it is probably going to be dead. >> sandra: and earlier, president trump turning up the heat on lawmakers, tweeting this... beautiful, so are they going to get there, congressman? >> jason: i don't know if we can meet reach the high bar of beautiful, i would settle for an ugly bill to pass. but we have to do this. republican said, if we get the house of tenant, we will get it

done. >> kennedy: why wasn't anything ready? >> jason: i was in the room when the leadership came in, we are going to front end, frontload the schedule in january, so that we can be there to make sure that the bill is on the president's desk ready for the signature of the first day. that was the president that we were working under, and to be in july -- speed -- 50 people have to get together in the room and say we believe that in this, even if it is not everything they wanted. >> harris: we were talking a little bit home improvement, ladders and fixing things. that's what they are doing in washington right now, would you leave your house have undone and go home for a august recess? i got booed off the couch when i said this, no one should leave, august or no august, no august for you.

>> jason: people always gravitated the deadlines. >> harris: the enrollment period is 60 days after that. it's time to get it done. >> jason: we are seven months late in getting it done, they have to get it done. i was thought that july 4th deadline was some fiction. >> harris: you want to wipe away the august recess and get it done? >> jason: they have to get it done, or they are going home anyway. probably not coming back. >> sandra: this is what the texas elect a man has to say about the republican party should something not get done. listen. >> if we cannot repeal and replace obamacare and have a bill after we go through the house, we do not deserve to be reelected. the fact is that we have to get that done. >> sandra: a big statement. >> meghan: he is right, it's going to be hard to go home to your district and say we have the house, senate, and the presidency, and we have nothing done. we were incompletely incapable

of having this go through. i'm curious from kennedy's standpoint. you are in the rand paul camp where you think it is so bad and you might as well not pass it, because you compared it to being promised a mercedes for your 16th birthday and getting your family junk car. >> kennedy: an empty coke can with a couple of cheerios for wheels. only two of them. but to your point, to use to continue and extend your metaphor, is a dated tear down or a remodel? we were promised a tear down, going to start from strictly manic scratch. >> harris: a better version. >> kennedy: socialized medicine is not cheap, it is so much more expensive. it is a drag on the economy, it hurts poor people. we see that over and over again, but now with the talk of bipartisanship and not just from senator mccain, but also susan collins, they are saying that we have democrats reaching out to me, my fear is here that if it

is too bipartisan and new get progresses too big of a bone, it turns into something that resembles a single pair than obamacare. >> harris: they are waiting in the wings to support a single pair. >> kennedy: that will be $22 trillion if we have bernie sanders version of health care, medicare for all. >> harris: i wonder what happens if you leave it where it is? >> jason: no, no. you have to repeal it. that's what republicans were saying. a >> harris: new pricing is coming up from the insurers. we are still waiting on that. we are producing 116 to 120% price hike in places like arizona for insurance plans. can you imagine if they raise it again? >> jason: no. >> harris: reince priebus is dismissing claims that president trump believed vladimir putin when he denied meddling in the 2016 election. he says it is quite the contrary. and the president pressed the issue. watch. >> the president absolutely did

not believe the denial of president putin. what the president did, he immediately came into the meeting, talked about russian meddling in the u.s. election, went after that issue at least 22 several times. >> harris: after that meeting with bruton, president trump tweeted this period of time to move forward, more constructively with russia. it is said that it is not water under the bridge. >> it doesn't mean that they are off the hook, what state means is that we are not going to forgo progress simply because we have a disagreement in regard to this meddling in the united states election. >> harris: this criticism. a former cia director john brennan says that president trump was too soft on president putin. >> i don't think he demonstrates good negotiating skills when it comes to mr. putin. two days before he gave the outreach to point to the failures of u.s. intelligence. to me, i think that he ceded that the ground.

he said, it is an honor to meet president putin. an honor to meet the individual who carried out the assault against our election? to me it was a dishonorable thing to say. >> harris: the russian meddling would've happened on john brennan's watch? >> jason: and president obama's watch. and jay johnson, so this did happen in the obama watch, and i think that's reince priebus framed it just right, there has to be consequences. it is up to the house and the senate grappling with sanctions, they can have some teeth to them, and i think that should happen. we also have to think move forward on places like syria, iran, places like that. >> sandra: by the criticism we just heard in multiple instances of the president being soft on putin? >> jason: i don't think so. i think one of the things that the president has done the best in the first six or seven months has been the international diplomacy that he has engaged with.

i think it is gone exceptionally well. i gave him very high praise on the g20 effort. i really do. >> harris: in the context of going soft on putin, i think it is interesting, because i remember president obama whispering in the ear of a russian leader how things might be different after an election. that seems friendly and soft. >> kennedy: it was. it is difficult to compare the two administrations without being hypocritical. i think that's what brendan is doing. and i think he has a lot to answer for. to this was either a massive intelligence failure, or it was a politicized cover up with the president at the helm thinking that hillary clinton was going to win. so it really did not matter what the russian state, because they were not going to alter the outcome. they have a lot to answer for. all they are doing, john brennan and president obama is monday morning quarterbacking. it is useless and it gets a country off the rails. >> harris: how do you think

president putin, doesn't even matter, how does he see us? if we are going to do an agreement over syria, there are other countries that are involved in this. iran, saudi arabia. our relationship with him matters, but he is not the only player at the table. >> meghan: i think that putin is a maniac. he is a psychopath, and he could not begin to think of where his head is added. the meeting going forward, optically it did not end up being the disaster that democrats were putting forth that they thought it could be paired to the problem with people going on tv like the former cia director saying, he should've been harder. he should have been harder. as you pointed out, obama gave them a pass for eight years. the syrian refugee access went out of control. they have nothing to do with the capacity -- capacity and the baltic states until it's meddled with her election. they are speaking out of both sides of their mouth. and i find it ironic when any democrat criticizes president trump for a meeting like this.

what is he supposed to do? refuse to meet with him? that would put him in a precarious situation. >> harris: i bring up iran, saudi arabia, but russia has a relationship with some people that we do not have heard of the relationship is different. we still do not know what was in the iran deal. >> kennedy: they are still playing goalie with north korea as well. let's not forget about that. >> harris: your last thought on the steaks? >> jason: and what is going in georgia, go back to what mitt romney said their biggest geopolitical threads was russia coming into the president said that the '80s one-third foreign policy back. president obama took a group or eight years. donald trump has been the president for six or seven months. >> harris: 200 days, kellyanne conway reminded us. we will move on. republican lawmakers with concerns over security. what has paul ryan calling off further town hall events at this point? we will talk about that.

♪ >> meghan: the mainstream media having a meltdown after ivanka trump, an advisor to the president, held her father seated at a table of the world leaders at the g20 summit in germany. kellyanne conway defending the move earlier today. >> why aren't we focused on the many other things that ivanka trump, special advisor to the president did during this particular foreign trip, she just spearheaded this amazing roundtable of women's empowerment, and to lead the u.s., inspire the u.s. to contribute $50 million to a fund for women's empowerment across the globe. that is news coming out of this, not the fact that she did a thing by taking her father's seat for a short time. >> meghan: president trump slamming the mainstream media of their coverage of the event.

writing... but the former first daughter writing back saying... all right, well, i have enough time for a chelsea clinton's twitter account as i do for nothing. chelsea clinton was one of the heads of the foundation, paying for her wedding part of the idea that she would in no way be a part of her mother's administration i find laughable. what do you of that? >> jason: you are absolutely right on that. and ivanka trump as part of the administration, she does have her father's ear. an important part. she can get things done. and today were talking about a topic in which she is personally engaged. i think was wholly appropriate. >> meghan: also worth noting that angela merkel came out and said, not unusual for a top surrogate when the president to leave the room to sit in his

place in that meeting. >> harris: it must be so frustrating for democrats not to have any low-hanging fruit. they are grasping now. she is there in a capacity of somebody who has run a very successful corporation. her items are selling hot online. there may have been some stores across america that wanted to play politics, but the bottom line she is passing it on to somebody else to run her country. she has a rich background in economic issues. and women's issues in the workplace. >> jason: she has an official role within the white house, if this is the best of the democrats have, points to the success of the g20 g20 summit t the president was engaged with. if they are picking on this, ivanka trump, where she was. >> harris: they are going to need ladders to reach to the fruit. >> meghan: do you see any controversy with this? >> kennedy: without in particular, no. it's a little bit boring when they are searching for controversy.

there are enough things that are evident that require further questions. i don't think this is one. and for chelsea clinton to step into the fray is laughable. her name is in the foundation. and they were shaking -- who killed women and gay people. >> harris: you know you dropped the microphone. >> sandra: you talk to anybody in this environment, it is highly common for someone to get up, a world leader to catch up and they go to do something. she was only there for a few minutes, as i understand it. donald trump, jr., her brother, also making a very important point on his twitter saying, had that's been me that sat down in the president's place, his father's place, would they have taken the same issue? obviously, the answer is no. >> harris: it is a fair question. she has a resume in this particular element to speak to issues, economic issues, particularly for women.

>> kennedy: but she is a reason they are discussing the issue at all. had her father's ear about it on the campaign trail. >> jason: if i am one of the other people sitting in the seat, guess who i want to be there? i want ivanka trump to be in there. she will lead the charge when she gets home. she knows the issue. she has her father's ear. she is the official part of the delegation. she was the right person to sit down. >> harris: what i say to chelsea clinton, sounds a little thirsty to go after the tweets, doing this and dad, mind your own, because your name was in the foundation. >> meghan: i think it is intellectually dishonest for her to tweet out. i think chelsea clinton would have had a major, major role had her mother become president. it is a pod, cattle, black, probably feeling a little bit thirsty as you say that ivanka trump is doing it and you are not. >> harris: state park from a different jar. >> meghan: i can't stand her account. more "outnumbered" in just a moment. phone with our allstate agent,

and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight- four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. >> over it, we won't be calling you congressman actively for a while now because things are changing for you. >> on july 1st i hung up my cleats, so to speak. >> your congressional cleats? are they red, white, and blue? this changes what you and your family can do because you are going to be home more. >> my wife has been very clear.

"things work at home, don't be changing things." >> i like her. >> "happening now" no. >> eric: thank you, fox news alert. susan collins of maine says the senate intelligence committee needs to interview donald trump junior. >> julie: the white house downplays any talk of concocting that collusion between moscow and the trump campaign. we are covering all the news for you, happening now. >> it seems to be nothing. >> julie: the spotlight is on the president's eldest son, donald trump, jr.,, his meeting over a year ago with our russian employer. plus, the white house response to a report, former fbi director james comey may have memos
