. >> in order to have any hope of getting an acquittal, kunkel's attorney, brian boreli, must establishkel's idea to sell the checks but that he was urged to commit the crime by the undercover officer. >> now, before you met the detective, had you ever planned to sell people's checks before that? >> absolutely not. i've went up on a truck and i asked him if he was interested in buying a stereo. and he said he's really not into that type of merchandise. but if i come across any checks or credit cards, he would be interested in that type of merchandise. >> did you know someone you could get them from? >> i had an idea of somebody i can get them from. >> now, after your whole conversation with the detective, what did you think he would do if you brought him checks? >> well, obviously -- i was under the impression he wanted to buy them. >> if you hadn't met detective [ bleep ] would you have ever sold anyone's checks? >> no. if i wouldn't have never met him, i wouldn't be here right now. >> thank you. >> kunkel must now face off against the prosecutor. >> and the first thing that you asked

brian: monday boring we have nothing planned for today. oh my goodness my head was still spinning.there is so much going on and so much to watch. you are so lucky you have the fox news channel because we cover it all. today at 9:30 the president of the united states is going to go up to capitol hill and what he is going to do is bend the ear he is of some wavering republicans. it's all about the salesman in chief trying to make the final sale to close the deal on the affordable care act repeal and replace. ainsley: thursday is our chance to end obamacare. so he wants to talk to our lawmakers and say look, guys, get it together. let's figure this out. this is your chance. this is something that i told the voters i was going to get done. and actually, this is the anniversary. the 7th anniversary. remember when president obama was on that desk and signing the legislation. brian: it was a big bleeping deal. this is freedom hall last night. the president sells i have been talking to lawmakers. he has been labeled as the closer. the question is we have some slack in the line to order to

ainsley: very boring. brian: read the prompter same as yesterday. ainsley: very boring.teve: it is the same story change the names. first it was flynn. then it was sessions. and now it is nunes is the devil according to the democrats who would like to see him recuse himself. yesterday he revealed he had that press conference last week that he had some secret information that had not been made public. he actually met with his source at the white house campus last week. it was not inside the west wing. it was apparently not a white house staff or intel officer. and just those few details got the democrats so mad they want him out as the chair. ainsley: chuck schumer wants him out and wants paul ryan to replace him as the chairman of the house intelligence committee. brian: as does nancy pelosi and adam schiff. i'm sure the house is interested in what the the senate thinks just goes through tradition. back up a second. you brought up mike film, he was targeted for a while. i'm going to next other names. monica crowley was targeted for a while. kellyanne conway, sebastian go

ainsley: is ignoramus a bored? brian: yeah, not a good one. steve: let's bring in tucker carlson.u know, their suggestion that it probably has to do with this fisa investigation in june. and now the media has a meltdown with their hair. if you -- yeah, i smell hair on fire in new york city. >> this is the most frustrating story i've seen in a long time. i was just talking to gavin our producer through the line. this is a real problem. the u.s. government spying on its own citizens is a long-standing fact. it's a huge problem, and it's clouded by deceit and visaing. just here's one fact. we don't know how many americans have their communications swept up by the u.s. government and swaled because the intelligence agencies won't tell us. not only will they not tell us, they won't tell congress who is supposed to have oversight of them. soss is an infuriating problem. we know when he was a private citizen before the inauguration was swaled by the fbi and that was leaked. that's a felony. we know this happens, and it has a corrosive affect on our life and yet we're not diagnosticking a

brian: i can't tell you. steve: you two have secrets from me. 20 years and that's what i get. ainsley: we are pretty boringecrets. brian: first floor of the white house up and the second floor. i hope they are whispering. steve: that's the kitchen. it could be donald trump alone. ainsley: across the street the lights are all on. the lawmakers have been up all night talking about obamacare. steve: there is a fox news alert. overnight house ways and means about 4:00 this morning passed a republican legislation they have been marking it up for 16 hours. that means they were essentially writing the law. now it is going to go onto the house budget committee where it will vote in the full shows shortly and proceeds onto the senate. the senate is really the problem. keep in mind 52 republican senators so that means the president could lose two. but right now 8 republican senators are skeptical not real crazy about what the house is doing. ainsley: needs 51 votes. and there are 52 republicans. steve: and then mike pence could then break. ainsley: the tie. brian: through ways and means. took till 4:00 in the mornin

boring. some found it useful. healthcare. who is it more important for? the president or speaker ryan? brian: speaker ryan. if this congress blows it, the congress won't be there and they will have power. this president will do deals with the president. he has elijah cummings over to the white house saying i'm concerned about prices of prescription drugs. the final plan doesn't include any of that in phase one, phase two, phase three, that he's just there for show, that's it. i think phase three if i'm correct you need the 60 votes in the senate. if they can get momentum like they did in two committees today, if they can get it done in the house and make changes. the way it looks right now. they have to have some give. they have to do some listening. they have six pliable democratic senators. kennedy: thank you very much for being here. kennedy: let me bring in my four-wheel drive party panel, democratic strategist kmele foster, chris baron, founder of lgbt for trump, welcome, everyone it's a night of beauty, glory and brains. the administration has begun to sketch out its $1 trillion infrastructure plan.

boring. i apologize. obamacare repeal and replace has to go first. do another budget the 200018 budget that will allow us to reconcile for tax reform which will be next. brianp last night cutting spending on actually pharmaceuticals. he mentioned elijah consumption in the meeting that he had. we after it passes we will go back in again. what do you mean? in theory, if can you get the votes and pass it, you are going to change it again? >> sure, the things they are talking about with mr. cummings who was on the committee with me requires 60 votes. take some bipartisan support. there is bipartisan support for other types of healthcare reform outside of just obamacare repeal and replace. for example, the epipen is way too expensive. one of the things we learned that's because the regulation he is on medical device providers and pharmaceuticals are much more expensive here than europe. mr. cummings and republicans know that. brian: you want to be able to buy from europe. >> into. have the same systems get new products approved. epipen is couple dollars in europe. $600 for a pair here. that's the kind of stuff we need to vote with 60 votes. brian: have a shot at
