it's david korn. congressman, i want to clear up for people who way not know, do presidents order themselves wire tapping? >> no. protections are in place to keep presidents from doing what donald trump would probably want to do. typically a president wouldn't even be read in until the investigation was complete. this looks like a diversionary tactic, more trump/russia ties followed by trump/russia lies. >> congressman, you're a congressman, you know that information because i presume when you came into congress you didn't know everything about the way the government runs, but you availed yourself of information to find out. >> i asked questions of the experts. >> does it disturb you a little bit that the president of the united states doesn't know that the president of the united states doesn't order wiretaps? >> and that 30 minutes later he was tweeting about "the apprentice." >> it is sort of funny but it is sort of disturbing as well, donald trump got up really early this morning to retweet what a

intosh, and david korn. who one the week? >> i'm not going to say obama or nancy pelosi.s and you're going to ask. if you remember back in january, there was a town hall meeting on cnn, sorry to mention a competitor with paul ryan. we see him on the screen there. jeff jeans, a conservative who worked for ronald reagan telling paul ryan obamacare saved his life. he had cancer, he's be daddy without obamacare. so standing in for the millions of americans whose hives were saved or improved by obamacare, they are the winners thanks to trump and the prooinz incompetency. >> wow. that is amazing. jiffy jeans. that's going to be hard to top. >> i know. my choice is pelosi and david just embarrassed me. nancy pelosi gets a lot of flak for being from san francisco. she gets a lot of flak from republicans and some democrats. but five republicans members of congress admitted to me this week that if she were the republican speaker, the bill would have gone to the floor or maybe it would have taken a few months, no one is better than whipping and organized than nancy pelosi. many peop
