> here we go, everybody.very the co. healthcare plan being t to the test. in fact, retama the score isn'tt looking so good. the white house is still trying to sell it to the american people. it's what we're talking about tonight at 6:30 tweet us withith what's your on mind.d. the white house disagrees strenuously with the regentgent budget analysis from the budget office.of the gop predicts 14 millionredi people would lose people and

202,615,000,000 people would00 lack insurance under0, thisthis republican plan compared to 28 million under obamacare.amac they are urging republicans to scrap the healthcare proposal altogether. mike williams joins us, how are you doing in. >> fine. > do you think the republicansb are going to convince the democrats. >> how convincing is donald trump is going to be? he's bees pushing this from the veryvery start. of course this thing was signed seven years ago and the republicans have been vowing ever since even before the inc. was dry on that bill this.his. they're learning very quickly how hard it is to replace it. a lot of questions here. you mentioned that the cbo is being attacked by the whitehe w house but it's not beingng attacked by republicans in congress. paul ryan is saying that there's certain elements of it he likes.

a lot of questions about whethew it can pass the senate inin particular, even the house. > certainly compromise has beem brought up. earlier today sean spicer was asked about that.hat. let's take a listen to what he had to say.. i think the president's principals and goals are going to benefit every american and obviously the more support weres get the better. as we continue to meet with members and talk to them and get their ideas i think we're going to have a phenomenal outcome ofe this bill much there's a lot of ways we continue to gather input and ideas and the more that wet can get that will achieve that goal, great. and so i hope that he continues to provide us with constructive ideas. i think the american people would like to see that big couple by yeah moment. what's the reality here on compromise? where are we on that? >> easier said than done.ne. there's not a democrat in the house or senate that is going to reporter this republican bill. they can talk bipartisahi

are talking repeal obamacarebama they're not on board.ard. they're proud of the benefits expanding coverage to tens of millions of people.ople they took a political hit, obviously, they lost the house in 2010 and the senate in 2014. a lot of that was due to the law. as the benefits are starting to kick in and finding out what it is, the republicans are finding out that repealing it is going to be tough.ugh. it's never going to be bipartisan, can the republicansb ram this thing through without democrat support? the reality is it's very easy for the media and anybody to look at certain aspects of the law and say look, the president's own party is supporting this. once it pass he the house wese w have to look at a senate thatate we're not hearing an out powering of support from forfrom this bill.th >> not at all. you're starting to hear a lot of republicans grumbling about it.abou the interesting thing is they're not coming from o

this is what makes it so tough for the gop leaders to threadto the needle. this iso bam a care light. it retains too much of a government role in dictating healthcare -- the healthcare marketplace, not enough free market going on there muchth they're attacking from the right. and then you have these senate wrists, they have a lot of constituents who are subsidizini from the oh generous medicare, low income pep, disabled peoplee and people in nursing homes. if they rollback that, the cbo is warning, the budget office ii warning yesterday, is that if you rollback that, then 24 million people are going tog lose coverage over the next decade. so the senate republicans arere looking at that and say wait a minute, the tax credits that the replacement bill has are not generous he muff to help my constituents who are under obamacare. it's up to gop to that red that

that's the big test facing them and i'm not sure that they can do it. the american people will be watching. > thanks so much for coming in. we appreciate it. thanks for having me.e. this really gained some steame over the weekend. the call for mass attorneys from the obama administration tooktin some by surprise. many handed in their resignation. this happens when you have a change of power. however u attorney bara refused. he was one of 4 prosecutors whou were let go.we the handing out of the mass ping slips was abrupt, but it was not unprecedented. karen joins us tonight. thanks so much for joining us. >> of course.f good to be with you.with is this typical when we see a new administration come to bring in their own us attorneys? are we making too much about this, much to do about nothing home? >> to some extent, yes.xten to the extent that this is a republican president who is taking over from a democratic president, of course they're

attorneys in place. that say, though, the abruptnesu with which this happened and especially two days after a meeting that the attorneyne general had with us attorneys which gave them no expectation at all that they might actually be leaving office or being asked to leave office.ffic it's the abruptness and not following the typical norms of allowing them to take you inyou office until their replacements were confirmed by the us senates i think it's the change in protocol and expectation that e has gotten a lot of the attention. we saw barhar meeting withth president elect lump, and indications were that he was going to be asked to stick around. the last time there was controversial i was alberto gonzales when he was attorney general. what's the difference from then until now. >> a couple of differences, one is mr. gonzales, that was in the second term of the w bush administration. more than that, that

saturday night massacre only involved 9us attorneys all republican appoint ease. to that extent it's different in terms of the administration, tht number of people that werehat involved and the reasoning behind the dismissal.miss we've heard a lot of differentie rumors as to why this recent dismissal or this dismissal was so abrupt from a fox news anchor suggesting it during the middle of a show that some of these us attorneys were investigating the trump administration. what are you hearing? what do you think is behind this besides just, hey, these aren't our guys so we want our guys in here.e. i think to some extent a lot of it is that.hat. i've heard the rumors about thee investigations going on. this would seem to me to be a pairly hand handed way to stop the investigations. i would see this more as pooror transition planning and a poor transiti process. probably not surprisingly.rpri what we're really seeing at

counsel's office that isn't yett staffed up to direct this office same at the justice department. i think some of this h was done without the proper coordination and vetting that there mightht have been with more experienced hands in place. karen holt we certainly appreciate you joining us.us. federal workers who live in thee d.c. region could be in for some my knowledgor layoffs. that's if president trump's budget propose l al passes. it would shake the federalke government to its core which ish what president trump said hedent wanted to do and cutback numerous programs. tom fitzgerald is out there on capital hill with more on thisis one. it's kind of strange to see the sun behind you?be >>reporter: hi it doesn't feel like the sun is up. > i'm thinking positively. >>reporter: i wish the sun wass directly upon us. that would make us a little more comfortable. enough of that.hat. let's talk about the jobs. we've heard all presidents, democrats, r

run onican a platform saying ths they were going to reduce thereu size of the federal workforce and then they get hear to washington, d.c. and nothing happens. this time might be different and here's why. just yesterday president trumpry signed an executive order ordering a review of all executive departments to findts cost t savings. but that's not where it ends, folks. on thursday we are going to geto a look at the preliminary discretionally budget out by this trump administration andn n what we are hearing is this, this could be a dramatic down scaling of how many federal workers we are going to need inn particularly hard hit in the d.c., maryland and virginia areas. while a lot of people in this area, 500,000 estimated to bebe about in a work forth federal government, you can imagine howg that kind of thing might not go over very well in the dmv. well, talk to some

not live within the beltway. we did today and they seemedey very willing to listen to someo of this. here's what they had to say. >> it seems like it is. seems like it's what? too big. you know what i'm going to say,, some departments yes; some departments, no. there ares, places where you could trim and, you know, reduce the size of the federal government. i'm not against that. i think there should be a place for a lot of individual initiatives. we've got to prime the pump. prime the pump is going to start on thursday when we get a look at this budget. the guidance we are getting is this. they are going to be emphasizing something that are priorities, things like infrastructure,rast things are like the defense department. what is not going to be a priority are things like the regulatory agencies, the epa, hud, the department of housingde and urban development. this all comes as youpartd ur km and shawn among this

throughout the campaign. president trumpization he was h going to drain the swamp. the other thing, the deep statet which is inscribed as this about your rack i employees. we went to talk to democrat accuratic congressman jerryry connelly today. he says, listen, streaming downi the sides of the federal government isn't necessarily a bad thing but they have to do it smartly and not hurt people whoe depend on some of these services. connelly also says this kind of rhetoric about draining the swamp and about deep state he says is not very helpful to howw people view their own government we don't have sound property congressman on that.co what weng will tell you is this, thursday keep an eye on this.on this is going to have a very dramatic impact on how many federal workers are at work ink this city. consider d.c. alone

237,000 employees depend on the federal government.gove that is 1,500 over where we were last year, jim and shawn. >> that's a lot of people. i know everybody is going to be watching that. tha > no doubt. as a reporter i hate when an anchor tells me it, but i'll tell you it because i can, go c out there and get warm. >> you know what, you don't kno what you're missing. this is beautiful out here. it's nice to have a bit of seasons. we don't want to walk generally into spring without actually experiencing this. it's actually kind of nice out here. people have been sledding on capitalen hill. it's been friendly. > that's very poetic of you, thank you, tom. let's talk a little bit about the weather forecast because it is certainly cold out there.r we had enough snow yesterday. some people saw a little bit, some people saw a lot.. it's something for everyone out there. that's for sure. saved by the mix.he we had a lot of sleet that mixed in and some rain.

wall come back, everybody the word wiretapping still making headlines. the question is does the white house believes the justice department will find any evidence to support president trump's claim that balm wireded tapped him? we used the finger quotations because sean spicer was insist tenth in saying that wiretapping doesn't mean wiretapping. ronica cleary is here on one. o >>reporter: n it did come up in de's briefing. not as much. when pushed on whether or not the president and the administration believes that they will find evidence to support wiretapping, sean spicer said that he is extremely confid

justice will be able to do so at that extended deadline. on the same topic you certainlyn heard about it by this point, kelly ann conway over the weekend talking about different techniques used to surveil,ve talking about using televisions, even saying that microwaves could be used to take photos. now, she was seemingly referencing that wikileaksilea report that we told you about where they leaked cia hacking documents that do explicitly say that the hacking techniques allegedly used things like your samsung tv when seeming to be off to record you.u. but since she made those remarks kelly ann conway has stepped them back has saying that she doesn't actually believe that microwaves were used to spy on the trump campaign. however she did note that it's's not her job to provide evidence in this case and what we'ree talking about.lkin so today in the white

press briefing i asked sean spicer does the president believe this? take a listen. does the president believe that he was surveilled through microwaves and televisions in. >> i'm not -- i will just say the president has tweeted aboutt this. he's pretty clear that he believes there was surveillancei that was conducted during the 2016 election.ctio i'm going to wait for the conclusion ever that.ver i think there's pretty sound evidence that microwave is not a sound way of surveilling someone and i think that has been cleaned up. it was made in jest. i think we can put that to rest. sean spicer saying that the remark was made in jest. and the department of justice, they have until march 20 to provide that evidence on these wire tapping claims. > back to you.u. >> thanks, ronica. > i do use the microwave to surveil what my children have eaten. >> they don't clean up. > and it explodes in the microwave. > just saying. > would you want toe
