ashley: no, it's not. listen, cnn had a big interview with clapper, the former intelligence director to president obama. set the record straight, supposedly. but it didn't quite go as planned. take a listen. >> the president you know his position on that. and where is the proof? it's all unnamed sources, all leaks, nothing has come out that shows any degree of wrongdoing or criminal although in the campaign, so there must be nothing there. >> well, i don't -- i wouldn't go so far as to say that, but i also have to say that with specific respect to the issue of collusion as i said before, testified to this effect, i saw no direct evidence of political collusion between the campaign -- the trump campaign and the russians. >> now, clarify that point. >> that's not to say there wasn't any, but i just didn't see any evidence of it before i left. ashley: well, he's being -- you know, honest. he comes out and says nope, no evidence of collusion. that isn't the first time he said it, either. but it's not just not

ashley: that's very good point.very quickly, i want to get to the point, you have a lot of contacts within the trump administration. >> right. ashley: one of the themes i'm picking up talking to senators, they're getting frustrated, getting two stories, conflicting stories coming out of the trump administration. there is a belief there needs to be in the wholesale change in the communications team in the administration, bring people in who are professional, all get on the same page and have consistent message, when an issue comes up? >> you know, you know, okay, sometimes you have to fire the manager but the manager really is donald trump. you know hoare's the thing, i know reince priebus very well. i know steve bannon well. i know sean spicer well. i know gary cohn, pretty well. covered him for years when he was number over at goldman. i know a lot of his economic people. those are smart people. the problem is not really them in messaging. the problem is donald trump and how donald trump essentially wants to run th

ashley: it is. steve, should some sort of waiver be put on it, look we'll pay one day 10% tax incentive to bring that cash back to the u.s. but you have to do this with the money? is that un-american or something the trump administration could look at? >> i don't think it is un-american at all. you're not forcing a company to do that. they can keep profits overseas. it is good incentives. by the way i agree with that. i have a lot of friend in the white house, people i worked on the campaign with, i am telling them just that. what we don't want to have happen, it happened on george w. bush. a policy change, tax holiday, bring it home, what do they do? financial engineering, pay dividends, buyouts. yes, you have to invest in tangible things, in people, in technology, in equipment. by the way i would offer no taxation if you do that. imagine whoo that would do to this country, how much growth would spur if we say no taxes but you literally invest not in your own stock but real tangible assets and grow

ashley: yes.tuart: the terror in manchester is as we say loom large as president trump gets ready to meet with leaders in brussels. preside with us right now, irv. >> glad to be with you. >> the debate about terror is what are we going to know about the suspects, wait to grab them or sit back and wait until something happens. that's the debate. >> it's a question of civil liberties and at the same time national security. this is balance that has to be achieved in all cases. nonetheless, we have to look at the level of vulnerability. we are a vulnerable society because we're an open society, the consequence is, we are always in the position of facing some sort of terrorist attack. the question now is, what do we do? we need big data. the data now available can serve as a predictive data and that can-- >> you get that predictive data, this person over there is likely to carry out an attack. what do we do? >> we've got a thousand cells being looked at by the fbi. they're overwhelmed. there's no quest

ashley: we do.r of donald trump who the president asked to go back ten years and thoroughly review in federal tax returns and came back and basically said, there is no -- with few exceptions as detailed below your tax returns do not reflect any income of any type from russian sources. so you ask yourself what were some of the exemptions, a 95 million-dollar property sold to russian billionaire back in 2008 that was the investment that lizzie was talking about in 2013 miss universe pageant. there's no equity investments runed by donald trump or debt owed to russian lenders. would that be enough for the democratic critics? no. stuart: they still want to see tax returns. more violence in venezuela, very ugly, massive crowds to protest socialist government. there's a way that president trump could help them, martin, venezuela-american leadership council president is with us now. how can we help, what's the solution here? >> well, good morning, thank you for the invitation. i do believe that president tr

ashley: we do.e heard police believe they know the identity of the attker, the person who set off this device. they have not named them, they say it would not be helpful and would hurt their investigation. this came at the worst time calculated setting off the device at the end of the concert which attracted a very young female audience as they're coming out of the arena. the bomb goes off. and 22 dead is the latest number. 59 injured. at least a dozen of those that are injured are under the age of 16. some are still in surgery as we speak and have life threatening injuries. some say they will be in hospital for quite some time if they can survive their injuries. there was an arrest of a 23-year-old man in manchester, he had on a backpack and he was swarmed by police. and a person acting by himself? or was this part of a network. we should say that isis, no big surprise has claimed responsibility for this attack and you know, the effort goes on now to find out who was this person, who was he dealing

ashley.hese conservative senate members, republicans, they would like to see fast-- considering faster and deeper cuts to medicaid that would essentially drop many more people from coverage. they want more flexibility for the states. less reliance on federal money. i'm already seeing some of this already, wisconsin and maine, just looking at this, they're looking at new provisions that include work requirements for medicaid, people on medicaid, work requirements, drug testing and time limits. so, this would-- if this ever go the -- got threw and senate conservatives got their way, it would be the biggest change in years. and they feel something has to be done so money is just not thrown at the problem. >> with obamacare moved into medicaid with so few doctors providing services, you have a bottle neck, you think you have coverage, but you can't access health care, so, everybody on medicaid, effectively is losing, the standards are changed who would be accepted, and making it impossible for an

ashley, what do you think is going on in there? >> well, i will say that detail as we were reporting certainly stood out to us as well. as you mentions, not only does jared get his own briefing earlier in the morning, but we're also told he sits in on president trump's briefing as well. in that briefing, he's very much like he often is. he's a quiet but forceful presence. he sort of takes it in and doesn't necessarily ask a ton of questions, but he's there. and this is in line with everything we know about jared kushner, which is that he has this rapidly expanding portfolio. he is the president's son-in-law. it is sort of tough to keep his power in check, and he has fashioned himself in various capacities almost as shadow chief of staff, a shadow secretary of state. as we're seeing now with this controversy, you know, during the transition he thought nothing of potentially trying to work out this back channel with russia. so he really has a hand in everything. >> robert costa, if the stories about the back channel to russia are pro
