their colleagues on the other side of the house. these with men who have run for developing nation in the world president. they carry a great deal of would believe. >> or, you believe that it is a weight. when you see what lyndsey graham market made system. says on tv, it is not the same you pay for your healthcare and if you cannot afford it, too bad as any senator who says you are because it is not all right. you are starting to hear yolo going to be trouble. there is a handful of people threatening the fbi and actually from florida and other have the fbi take it seriously and we may have development on republicans, look, healthcare is this fairly soon. not all right and it is a one way or another, there are calls for them to respond to system. we cannot over promise. we are over promising and congress and there is lyndsey obamacare is over promising. graham's letter. they are not coming around on >> they're going to be a lot of questions that have to be this one. they were not coming around on this one. i am puzzled that the white answered why won't the fbi just tell somebody with the clearance. >> i get that they are not house mishandled it. telling us. >> we don't have that kind of it remiended me -- they did the clearing. >> francesca on the subject of why it is happening. you sit there in the briefing math and had the votes to get it room. last night we said if it looks done. here, you split-t party. loo i can a wa like a walk back and it sounded that sean spicer was turning out scott supervis

it is not clear that they will. >> francesca, where are they a walk back. getting that coat count to give >> today, he seems to you cwalk them that confidence? >> well, it is not entirely which was unusual. >> he said the president was clear. they think that conservatives will get behind this bill confident and right. because of what sean spicer says >> the thing that was interesting about yesterday's walk back was that he claims today. this is the best shot they have when the president says in his to repeal and replace. they are thinking that tweet wiretapping, he did not conservatives will come around on this even though there is no mean president obama had the such indication that many of justice department listening to them will, the white house did his calls ormond monitoring hi not back off the plan today. they did not hang paul ryan out calls. donald trump did say specifically that obama was there to dry. >> sean spicer is still "tapping my phone." aggressive that says this is got >> he did not mean necessarily to be done the right way. that obama was tapping his phone that there is a broad range >> that'll come in the third poer phase and the third prong they potential surveillance and a hole host of surveillance. i asked him what would fall in are talking about. that, of course, will require 60 votes in the senate. that range. that means they'll have to get he directed me to a law enforcement agency rather than some democrats to come along telling me specifically what the with them. >> i asked if they are confident

president was referring to. >> you asked it a few times. and able to get that 60 votes in the senate. >> that press conference is the sean spicer told me yes, they second most funnest time of my are confident and they need this first phase to past. day other than this one. >> true reporter like you keep >> we can see today if watch ongoing back at them. cable news and looked at the web it becomes strange of the degree that ryan care label, that of which you evade of getting starts to boil up from the answers on these things, tha. ground. >> yeah, how speaker is just a terrible job. >> john boehner was miserable in >> francesca on a lesser topic that's one becoming an enormous that job and paul ryan, totally medium and that's your microwave is a figure now. i guess i have some sympathy for spying on you. kellyanne conway in her interviewing, you pointed it out him. he's got one o f the worse jobs did not say or ingest as a joke in the white house. >> i have to step back on him. the thing i find remarkable of that she read on a articl this story is we are zooming back to the day of "access article -- sean spicer declared hollywood" tape was released, it is worth pausing to remember what that day was like. that was said ingest and not as people thought the campaign was serious of an item wiretapping over. donald trump was goicng to step russia but a bit alternative

out of the race. there is no way and not only can answer. this guy get elected, he could >> he said it was a joke. that's not what kellyanne conway not stay on the ballot. mike pence was going to be the republican nominee. that tape was shocking and we don't talk about it anymore. nor originally said. it is a reminder of how far we it was to clarify that she was come and the compromises that claiming president trump was spied on his microwave or people like ryan had the make television or through a telephone. >> she had read that those are ways that those are someone that could be spied on. essentially over power. the guy survived that shot and now it is coming home to some >> motorcycle cichael, one of y degree. >> i would encourage people to remember the larger picture here pieces is available online. and just what donald trump was able to come back from. it is seven easy graphics that's laid out the potential trump ties to russia. really what it told us about him for good and bad. >> i assume that ucoyou concur h >> robert. and the glue that keeps together us of the shiny project rules the relationship between speaker ryan and president trump has not that is not in effect. been any kind of personal report the intelligence committee and because everyone in these how convenience and the relationships know and this is intelligence committee cranked what ryan said back door in the up an operating. campaign. keep it together is the promise

get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess. last thing before we go here tonight. it has to do with an important day of the light. on this day, 1973, john mccain was released by the north vietnamese after five and a half years of a prisoner of war that caused permanent injuries that leaves him things like unable for him to comb his hair on this
