i think he wants reform, i want reform, my friend chris collins wants reform, as does the president of the united states. the debate is how to bring about that reform. i would urge our democratic colleagues to join us at the table. they have not done so so far. changes are failing in one third of the counties this country, there is on one providers of insurance. new jersey had five. we now have two. i certainly agree with speaker ryan, with congressman collins and with the psident of the unit states that we need to enact reform, and i hope we're able to do it. we will need bipartisan cooperation and the democrats should come to the table. >> you're a red district in a blue state. are you at all affected by what's been repeated a a jovial threat or a straight-up threat by president trump that this would be remembered in two years? >> i represent a district that is diverse by a couple thousand votes hillary clinton carried the district. donald trump was competitive in the district. he certainly knows new jersey well. i had the honor of being in the oval office two days ago and the presid

joe, interesting to hear chris collins talk about this.t a sweetheart deal a couple days ago, now other folks want a sweetheart deal that harkens back to corn husker kickback and last minute horse tradingith nancy pelosi and barack obama. i guess we'll see those done too? >> and charles, i have been there this process is brutal. these members are going to get pounded over the next 12 to 24 hours. and i feel for them. but you and i have talked. 7 years ago the democrats gave americans a big entitlement. and what are republicans trying to do with this bill in take away 10% of that entitlement? they will never win that game, they will never out entitlement the democrats -- >> guys. >> that is the box they are in. charles: let us take a quick break, we'll be right back. charles: we're back with more. nicole, congressman chris collins, said, listen obamacare is imploding, that gives us a sense of urgency. in your mind, does that mean we should do this piecemeal fashion or just take a step back and do to the right way. >> charles, this the probl

we take that up with congressman chris collins, leading republican randy evans. >>> and growing calls to purge the deep state. saboteurs and subversives trying to bring down the trump administration and they must be stopped. judicial watch's christopher ferrell says it's time to fire all of the obama leftovers before they do more harm to the trump administration. >>> good evening, everybody. white house press secretary sean spicer says president trump is extremely confident that the justice department will find evidence the obama administration wiretapped him before the election. >> i think he's extremely confident. there have been -- i mentioned this before, i'll let them do their job and the house and senate and the d.o.j. report this, as i commented in the past, there is significant reporting about surveillance techniques that have existed throughout the 2016 election. i'll leave it to them to issue their report. i think he feels very confident we'll ultimately come of this, we'll vindicate him. lou: spicer's comments a day after the justice department asked for two more weeks in w

for now i want to bring in republican congressman chris collins from new york. thanks for joining us. >> let me start by playing a clip of sean spicer at that press briefing today. he was asked a question going forward, can this president, can this administration work with the freedom caucus? the republicans. this was his answer. >> does the president still believe he can work with the freedom caucus on future pieces of legislation? >> i thnk itink it's going it d on what legislation. well fshl well, it's not a question of we're going to work with anybody who wants to work with us on achieving the goals that the president set out. i don't think -- we're not putting anyone in saying we'll never work with you again. the president also recognizes when there's not a deal to be made, when to walk away. that's one of the traits -- it's not just about making deals, it's knowing when to walk away from deals and knowing when there's a bad deal that's the only solution. >> so congressman, i understand the political answer for anybody in that situation is, sure, we'll work

. >> let us bring in congressman chris collins, republican of new york who has been known when he is introduced on shows like this for the last couple of months by one title, the first member of the house of representatives to support donald trump. we heard him audibly thanked for that as the president made his way out of the chamber. congressman, let's talk about your district in upstate new york. let's talk about the region of upstate new york. the president was fond of saying on the campaign, and he was right, the economy was especially cruel to that part of the world. where is a trillion dollars in infrastructure spending, something akin to eisenhower's interstate highway system, where is that going to come from? >> well, as far as where the money can come from, there's a few options. one is getting fundamental tax reform with repatriation of the dollars overseas. that is certainly a possibility. he also spoke about a p-3, public/private partnership. these are private dollars, coupled with government dollars on some of these projects. could be highways or other types of projects.

i'll speak with congressman chris collins. our correspondents analysts and guests are standing by with full coverage of the day's top stories. we're following two major stories right now. the growing fall out over president trump's claim that he was wiretapped by president obama and the growing opposition within the republican party to an obamacare replacement plan. let's begin with our senior white house correspondent jim accosta. jim, the president just spoke about the health care plan. update our viewers. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. we just heard from president trump here at the white house on health care. the president announced he supports the house republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare, but the president's message had to share the stage once again today with the problem of his own making. this time his unfounded claim that president obama bugged him. it's now a question that won't go away. where is president trump's proof that his predecessor barack obama broke the law and tapped his phones? the white hous

and in response to chris collins, big trump ally and said the next time that the freedom caucus calls the tuesday group, we should hang up the phone and not get to health care in 2019 and you say we are close. the speaker: 90% of our conference is there. 95% gets us there. i say we are close. here's the point i'm making here, the democrats aren't for repealing obamacare, we are. we work with democrats all the time. patty murray and i did a big budget agreement. we have long histories working with democrats, i don't think it's a stretch of the mind to suggest that the democrats disagree with us on repealing obamacare. they aren't going to help us repeal obamacare. if we do what we said we were going to do is repeal and replace obamacare, something tells me the democrats aren't going to help us. they created it in the first place. reporter: fiscal 2017, will you send a bill, will it fund the wall? the speaker: the bill hasn't been completed it yet. and it is premature to get into the contents of the bill. there are 11 other bills that we would pass. the question is it one bill, two bill

i'll be talking to republican congressman chris collins about the current state of that bill later on in the show. >>> let's begin with president trump's visit to michigan this afternoon. we have all the angles covered starting with my colleague ron mott, just outside detroit. also with us, steve rattner, who led president trump's task force during the auto bailout. rick, msnbc contributor, reporter for "the new york times." ron, break down what we just heard. there were a few different headlines there. >> reporter: hey there, kate, good afternoon. one of the headlines is that, perhaps, donald trump is going to hitch his wagons to the auto industry to keep his base energized while we in the country see these controversies emanating out of washington, d.c. it's a pretty good sized crowd here. a lot of united autoworkers fleece jackets. they were given the opportunity to come here today, to hear from the president and get paid while being absent from work. it's unusual, perhaps, for a republican president to meet with labor union leaders here in the auto industry, particularly also met

let's get some republican reac here, congressman chris collins, republican from new york, congressman, you have been hearing our coverage of this. i don't know if you've been getting your own read outs there maybe on your phone, but look, i think you know the headlines certainly that democrats, your political opponents here are going to stress is a net difference of 24 million americans covered with health insurance, obamacare versus the republican replacement plan, according to to the cbo. what will your response to that be? >> well, we're always going to be given by reminding america that obamacare has imploded. it has failed. you know, one out of three counties has one carrier. they don't offer a product people want to buy. we have to start by acknowledging something had to give because obamacare has all but imploded on to itself. now to move forward with reconciliation, the requirement was, we had to have $2 billion in savings over ten years. we weren't sure where the cbo was going to come in. there had to be a savings. democrats and others were suggesting there'd be a cost. well

. >>> let's talk about the state of play with chris collins, a member of the house energy and committee, and one responsible for the new health care bill. we will talk to you about that, congressman, always a pleasure. >> good to be with you, chris. >> on the wiretapping. help me understand this one. unlike some of the other claims that came out of citizen trump, candidate trump, and even president trump, this one can actually be answered by the man asking the question, president trump, he can know whether or not there was a fisa warrant with his name or his associate's names or organization's name on it, so why doesn't he know the answer? >> well, i think as sean spicer said, whether it was actually wiretapping with a fisa order or whether it was another type of surveillance, i don't think it's unreasonable to say as we are investigating other charges on the russian front, let's put this in the mix, and this would be a house investigation, and not a special prosecutor. if we are going to do investigating, let's investigate this. i don't personally have any knowledge, whatsoever, chris,

i am joined by chris collins of new york. he was a top adviser to the trump transition and the first member of congress to endorse then candidate trump. good to see you. >> good to be with you, chuck. >> let me start with russia before i get to the congressional agenda. why should devin nunez who was a member of the transition team be trusted to help head this investigation on russia? >> well, i mean it comes back to -- i know devin nunez and i have known him to be impartial even though others say otherwise. in the case of my fellow members, i will generally say i will defer to their judgment. i am not in a position to call that out one way or the other. i wouldn't pretend to be in that position. not unlike the situation with attorney general session who is made his decision to recuse himself. i say where i sit, i will trust devin nunez to do the right thing and not suggest to him that i have an opinion one way or the other. >> you are giving him leeway. let me play a sound byte and get you to respond. >> it was a department

nothing to do here. ( laughter ) another interesting reaction from new york congressman chris collinsefore today, bu but i will nevr forget him now. >> you have no curiosity about this even though it deals with the heart of national security? >> well, to be honest, i just live in a world where i always move forward. in a busy world, you don't dwell on the last at this point in time general flynn decided to resign -- >> come on, congressman. it's valentine's day and for the love of truth you can't say you just want to move on. >> it's the world i live in. i call it a guess what now what world. guess what he resigned, now what, we have a lot of issues to deal with. >> trevor: guess what, that's bull (bleep), now what we're going to make fun of your ass. we live in a guess what now what kind of a world. kind of like a douchebag "hakuna matata." guess what, simba, your dad died. now what? we dance! ha ha!

in addition to that, i should tell you that chris collins, who's a member of the house who has been a longtime ally of the president, he just came out of this meeting, which has not yet wrapped up, saying that the plan is to have a procedural vote tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow afternoon, the actual vote. he talked about this being one and done, again, echoing the notion that the white house is trying to put forward, that this has to be done and they have to get the votes and they're going to basically put it on the table and put it on the floor to hope that it happens. now, in the meantime, anderson, with regard to that freedom caucus, those holdouts, the head of the freedom caucus, congressman mark meadows just came out of the meeting saying he understands that the president wants to vote, but he's not there yet. he has not gotten to yes yet. and i actually asked him. i said, okay, what does that mean? do you think you can get to yes by tomorrow? because the president and his lae allies are here on the hill saying negotiations are over. and his answer was, well, negotiations ar

chris collins. fox poll, 49% think their taxes will go up, i repeat, go up under the trump administration. trump raising taxes? can you explain this to me? >> no, at first when i saw the headline and looked at the poll i thought, was this happen after the health care bill got yanked? but it was not, it was before. march 12th to the 14th, i'm not sure what the skepticism is based on other than naysayers in mainstream media. stuart: that's the word skepticism. liz: there's a militant move against trump, even if the democrats agree with him, they agree on the refugee pause, agreed on the border wall years ago. democrats, 45% think taxes are too high. we talked to a major democrat ic party. they need to shift. >> show me a democrat and tell me which tax that democrat would cut. i can't think of one. liz: not in this. moving on, attorney general jeff sessions, he wants to withhold funds from sanctuary cities, we've got that. however, the city of seattle has filed a lawsuit calling the withholding of fede

congressman chris collins of new york, great to see you. the president made a remark and we heard reince priebus make a remark about the freedom caucus. this bill was supported by 17% of the folks. it was a bill that did not repeal obamacare. it was a bill that was hard to take, and 20 million americans according to cbo weren't going to be covered. what in the world is going none the speaker's office? >> clearly america did not understand what we were doing and it was change by the day. but here is what i'm focused on. lou: i have got to be honest with you. i tremendously respect you. but when a congressman tells me the american people aren't smart enough to understand what congress is doing. >> i didn't say not smart enough lou already that means -- lou: that means congress wasn't smart enough to communicate. >> i was focused ion $800 billion worth of penalties being eliminated. we didn't talk about that enough. that would have been the first jump-start to our economy. and somehow that message wasn't delivered. lou: it may not have been de

(darya) ( darya ) (darya) a security guard asked the wife of wichita state coach gregg marshall to leave the lower bowl of bankers life fieldhouse after she started loudly cursing shortly after sunday's 65-62 loss to kentucky in the ncaa tournament. a police officer was eventually called and followed lynn marshall up the steps. she later was taken back to the playing level on an elevator so she could attend her husband's news conference. ncaa spokesman david worlock says it is standard procedure for the wife of a coach to be escorted to the press conference but it is usually done by school officials. lynn marshall remained in the stands about 10 minutes after the final buzzer. she at first consoled fans and family members of the team's players. but then she started shouting loudly about the calls made during the game. eventually, the people around coaxed her to leave and the police officer followed. team spokesman bryan

joining us now, congressman chris collins, republican, new york, we think of chris collins as the gatekeepern who organized the cabinet picks. can't you do anything about this to get the five remaining guys confirmed in the cabinet? >> you know, stuart, it's shameful with senator schumer, he's the one doing the delay tactic and burning the clock as we're trying to get legislation through. the problem with the senate is the time that we have on the floor, this is a deliberate strategy by senator schumer to deny donald trump, our president, the opportunity not only to get his cabinet together, but to get key legislation moved. unfortunately, the game he's playing. stuart: couldn't senator mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate, the majority leader in the senate, couldn't he just say we're voting and we're going to do it now, he can do that, can't he? >> no, he can't. see, we can do that in the house, but you can't in the senate. under their rules, specific rules, 30 hours of debate, which they can run the clock out and senator schumer has been running that clock out. i'm almost all-- n

congressman chris collins sounds so sure of this and it's true his republican colleagues finally didanage to get through the door way but there's speculation on their plan for universal domination. coming up, we have a first look at something the democrats are unleashing tomorrow that they think will help them stop the republicans' efforts to kill obamacare. it's due to break tomorrow but we have it here tonight. i think it's good, actually. you'll have your first look in just a second, stay with us. >>> thursday is when the republicans are going to hold their vote on repealing obamacare. the president went to capitol hill today to twist arms, to line up republicans to vote for the repeal bill. congressman mark meadows is chairman of the freedom caucus. he says he was a firm no when he walked into the meeting with the president today and he said he was still a firm no when he walked out despite the president threatening him in front of all the other republicans in the room. it's hard to say how many members of the freedom caucus are on mark meadows' side on this but even if half the

you have chris collins, the congressman from buffalo new york, the first to endorse donald trump sayingait a minute saying, wait a minute, my mother-in-law benefitted from meals on wheels. symbolically it's important. but at the end of the day, the bigger problem is if you're not going to reform entitlements like medicare and social security, these programs look like they're taking a proportionate hit. >> you've got to find it somewhere. the problem it seems to me is trump is doing things that hurt his own constituency. therefore in the end he's going to move to protect them. >> trump won in a sense by tearing up traditional orthodox. he unlocked the electoral college in way that traditional republicans could not have done. his legislative agenda is basically a conventional conservative republican agenda. >> paul ryan and mitch mcconnell's agenda. he needs their agenda because he needed something on the shelf and this will be the basis for success in his first year, health care and tax reform if he gets them done. if he does not get it done, he has nothing to show for the first year. he

. >> so you saw congressman chris collins there. he was watching. van had him on the show tonight.christa patton a typical person who benefits from meals on wheels? >> absolutely. >> what are options without it? >> let's be frank. meals on wheels san francisco provides two meals a day seven days a week, and many of those clients live on $900 a month of income in a city like san francisco. imagine if we were not provides those meals. this is not just a value add. it is actually the difference as the client that you just heard. it's the difference between life and death and being able to survive. and this is not uncommon. this is true across every community in the country, and i think what's really troubling is as you look at the first round of cuts in the community development block grants, these block grants are targeted predominantly at low-income communities and communities that live on the margins. so we really are kind of causing and exacerbating a problem that actually we need to remedy. >> ashley mccome ber, san francisco director of meals on wheels, thank you. >> thank you.

joining with reaction chris collins and duncan hunter. thank you for joining us, congressman.tart with you, you like this plan. tell me why. >> because this is going to save america. to put it very simply. it is obamacare, which is failing, or doing this. this is a good bill, going to save people money. >> eric: there is another alternative, there is a plan that is more acceptable to some conservatives who would say this looks a lot like obamacare. there is a big group that donald trump wanted, the 50 to 65-year-olds, they get destroyed with this bill. >> here is what has to happen. there is no insurance market with competition. obamacare killed it. it's going to take a few years for that to come back. so that prices can go down, quality goes up. that's going to take a few year years. that's the offramp that we're doing. we are subsidizing this. still attack on high earners like congress and collins here. we got rid of the ten essential health benefits that were mandatory. those are all gone now. >> eric: i get it. i read this bill. here's the thing. congressman collins, you c

joining me now republican congressman from new york, chris collins. all right, good evening, congressman. >> good to be with you, jeanine. judge jeanine: good to be with you now, congressman. now, i don't want to get into the weeds here, all i know is this so far. the republicans want to repeal, i think, and replace, although i'm not sure. and then we've got this freedom caucus and then we've got the democrats, and then we've got the guys in the middle, and at the end of the day, what we need is the repeal, and i think replacement. so you've got the replacement ready, right? >> yes, we've been working, i was in a 27-hour markup on wednesday and thursday and that moved forward the replacement -- repeal and replace piece that's going to the budget committee and rules will be on the house floor in a little over two weeks and onto the senate, and we're trying to get it on the president's desk before the easter break. there's a lot to be done. judge jeanine: okay, let me ask you this, you have the freedom caucus, and these are the most conservative who don

chris collins who is a member of the house who has been a long time ally, he came out of this meeting which is not yet wrapped up saying the plan is to have a procedural vote and tomorrow afternoon the actual vote, echoing the notion that the white house is trying to put forward. this has to be done and they have to get the votes and they will basic put it on the table and the floor to hope that it happens. in the meantime, with the hold outs, the head of the freedom caucus, mark meadows said the president wants to vote, but he has not gotten to yes yet. i said what does that mean? can you get to yes by tomorrow because the president and allies are saying negotiations are over. he said it's not over until the vote happens. we will see if there are last minute changes but it doesn't sound like they are going to happen. they have given enough, a major concession from their point of view that they will try to do the repeal of the essential benefits in obamacare on the front end which is what the conservatives were asking for and the idea of other concessions that they are asking for, the
