tonight, james rosen is reporting that sources are now telling fox news that there is potentially a smokingun that proves the obama administration spied on the trump team. but first, a vote to repeal and replace obamacare in the house of representatives has now been postponed until tomorrow, we know there's a lot of anger, a lot of frustration in washington around the country. unless we learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it. right here on this program, i have promised you that i will hold washington accountable and tonight, we are doing just that. where did this process go so horribly wrong? d that's tonight's opening monologue.d believe it or not, we have to start with a basic fundamental civics lesson as most of you know, our federal government consists of three branches, the executive branch, the legislative branch end of the judicial branch. all three under the constitution have enumerated powers and share a duty to use these powers in the best interests of view, the american people. president trump, we can see the checklist, he's been working hard to keep his promises for the

, in fact james rosen the reporter from fox that he's talking about, his phone was not wiretapped >> exactly. >> i believe his phone records were subpoenaed by a court about alleged leaks under the obama administration, soi i think that's a different case but i think donald trump is trying to walk a very delicate line because president trump said say during the campaign he loves wikileaks, that's part of the problem when he says these sort of off-color comments, because certainly wikileaks the very organization he praised is now beco becoming a threat to his government. the report i read has treat ted this as a very serious leak, and i think journalist haves done that but haven't really heard sean spicer or anyone under the u.s. government publicly talk about how damming this particular cia leak is. >> and i'm glad you said that about the james rosen comment because sean spicer was not correct, and i have a quote saying recently he wasn't wiretapped his parents weren't wiretapped which is when you place a listening device on someone's phone. what do you think of this. >> i think t

we have james rosen, a legitimately talented man. an author, comedian, journalist.tration tackled him in a pretty big way. he has an artist, a legitimate one. >> you are saying my skill as a reporter was a hidden talent. >> tucker: [laughs] i bet ten people watching us are aware of what a talented artist you are. this began -- you actually had a sign mine as a kid at weddings and bar mitzvahs. >> i began with my favorites, snoopy, charlie brown, i'm not sure which one. then doonesbury. another one of my favorites. i worshiped several different artists and copied them. i did that in broadcast journalism as well. here's a little doonesbury for you. >> tucker: that's good. >> then i moved onto batman and my idol of idols, neal adams. still around and still the greatest comic book artist of all time. >> tucker: i agree with that. >> we can do some batman very quickly. >> tucker: doonesbury has to be pretty easy. >> listen, they all are highly stylized. just touch if you will. >> tucker: you would go to parties as a kid or events -- you've also caricatured people in the

james rosen comes to mind. let's say been there, been burnt by that after this. that ah, that $100k is not exactly a fortune. well, a 103 yeah, 103. well, let me ask you guys. how long did it take you two to save that? a long time. then it's a fortune. well, i'm sure you talk to people all the time who think $100k is just pocket change. right now we're just talking to you. i told you we had a fortune. yes, you did. getting closer to your investment goals starts with a conversation. schedule a complimentary goal planning session today. >> neil: all right. bogus, waste of time. that's the way mainstream media has been talking about the prior president was wiretapping him. republican strategist janna caldwell joining us. we have rachel campos and scott bolden. janna, part of this collective dismissal is based on the notion it couldn't be. but i do remember because i covered these closely for the business network, the dismissal of charges that the irs was targeting conservative groups when in fact they were. i remember the same about the justice department going afte

saying here -- she is admitting what we have been saying, what sara carter and john solomon and james rosen had all been saying. surveillance took place. take a watch. >> it was aimed at telling the hill people get as much information as you can. as much intelligence as it can before president obama leaves the administration because i had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior people. >> sean: that's the intelligence? that you want your friends on capitol hill to get? is that the information she's talking about? next, she admits there was unmasking. that should not happen. >> the trump folks if they found out how we knew what we knew about their staff, the trump staff dealing with russia they would try to deal with those sources and methods. we would no longer have access to that intelligence. >> sean: oh, intelligence, unmasking, surveillance. intelligence leaking was taking place and by the way, in case some of you people don't know, that could very well be a felony. take a look. >> i became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and i k

tonight, we welcome fox chief washington correspondent james rosen. he's an author, a comedian, a journalist, so good the obama administration hassled him in a pretty big way. he's got another big talent. he's a legitimate artist. james rosen joins us tonight. >> you're saying my skill as a legitimate reporter was i hidden talent? >> -- was a hidden talent? >> tucker: you've done drawings for people around the building but this began -- i didn't know until tonight that you actually had a sideline as a kid at weddings and bar mitzvahs? >> that's right, $100 an hour. i began with my favorites which were snoopy and charlie brown. i'm not sure which -- you know, which one you want to see. then i moved onto doonesbury, another one of my favorites. i worshiped several different artists and slavishly copied them. i did that in broadcast journalist as well. here is a little doonesbury for you. ok? right? all right. then i moved onto batman and my idol of idols neil adams who is still around and still the greatest comic book artist of all time. >> tucker: i ag

neil: to go after him. >> i don't know exactly all the circumstances around james rosen but what theythey didn't listen to his phone calls. they intercepted some of his conversations. they looked at some -- neil: i grant you but my point there is precedent. that doesn't directly involve the president from what we know. >> right. neil: do you think that there could be smoke there? or, or, does it look like this is a case of president trump deflecting, or at least saying if you're going to investigate my ties with the russians and people's ties to russians you should look into the fact that the president might have -- >> all things being equal there is a very real possibility that they intercepted, not based on a directly tapping trump's phone or general flynn's phone but they intercepted conversations by tapping the russians phones with trump people and, it is very possible, not saying it happened, it could happen, that they got an informant, because they do this often, whose phone is already tapped, you don't need -- they're informant, you don't need the title 3 waiver all that to cal

obama used a lot of action with lawsuits going after james rosen at the "new york times" and holdingenas. trump used a lot of language. he has used action as well barring certain media outlets from the campaign. we had incident few weeks ago where certain outlets were not allowed -- informal briefing. there is a difference. both presidents were bad and let's put things in context. both are really hurting this really key and important institution. >> jon: when he can reach out to the people the way he does by a twitter and get his message out there and drive the news coverage of the day. is it any wonder that he seems to have such disdain for traditional media? >> i think that we have to remember, even though we're called the fourth of state as news media, whatever we have done, when i first got to the white house, i was told having free press is essential to democracy. that's what we need to do. >> jon: i'm not obviously disagreeing with you. the free press needs to be doing its job. when the president can go straight to the people via twitter as he's so capable doing, i just wonder

i am james rosen sitting in for bret baier. "special report" is following three major stories tonight. the bill president trump is backing to repeal and replace obamacare may be on life support tonight. just hours ahead of a crucial vote in congress. the president claims vindication after the house intelligence chairman said there was "incidental surveillance of trump transition officials, maybe including mr. trump himself." an attack outside the u.k. parliament leads at least three victims dead and scotland yard is treating the case as an act of terrorism. benjamin hall joins us from london with the latest. good evening. >> good evening, james. you could not find a more iconic location for a terror attack to take place for that's what happened today at the heart of the country. the attackers truck at 2:35:00 p.m. at the very heart of the u.k. government where tourists from around the world gather. for sheer exposure, he picked an ideal place. sick of the location of this attack was no accident. the terrorist chose to strike at

. >> sean: so, ari fleischer, what are we learning here from john solomon and james rosen and sara carterd even evelyn farkas? a felony was just committed in the case of daniel flynn and their talk about releasing intelligence for political purps on nbc. what is your reaction to that? >> i will tell you what i am learning. any development on this issue that has the remote possibility of supporting donald trump's point of view is illegitimately gathered and disseminated and should never be shared. on the other side, any fact or development that opposes what donald trump is saying is probably gathered and ought to be disseminated by everybody and the democrats doing it should be praised. this is the coverage of this issue. there are two sides to it but the only side that gets hammered is anyone giving support to what donald trump has said and i say that as someone who opposes his first tweets because he went too far when he said that about barack obama. but it has been lopsided. >> sean: but trump may have been surveilled. the fisa warrant, surveillance took place -- that leaks took place.

now, for the top story reaction, let's first bring in james rosen, chief washington correspondent. what you were listening to the top stuff, and fbi director comey tap dance around that, saying he couldn't confirm an investigation but didn't have any evidence or whatever he said, what was going through your mind, since you weren't exactly tapped, but you were surveilled by the obama administration? >> good evening, bill. congressman trey gowdy of south carolina posed a series of questions to the fbi director about whether reporters should enjoy an exemption from the laws that make it a felony to disseminate classified information. i felt at that moment without resort to concede, i think i months that the specter of james rosen hung over the hearing room. but beyond that, what was on display today, bill, with the difficulty that lawmakers have been holding james comey to a coherent, consistent standard in terms of what he discloses about the fbi's investigation and when. in part, this time from the fact that lawmakers are at a big disadvantage as to who holds the information. direct

i mean, we've had, you know, your own network's correspondent james rosen had his phones -- multiple phones tapped. what -- was that appropriate back then? i think there's a lot of concern out there about alleged leaks. there's two steps to this. and i think what you saw over the last week in terms of -- this should be a major concern to people in terms of the leaks coming out and the desire to get to the bottom of them. not specific really with respect to the disclosure you're referring to, but i think the idea that we are having these discussions should be something that everybody is outraged in this country. this the kind of disclosure that undermines our country, our security and well-being. you've seen over the last two years, depending on the leak, it depends on the outrage. it's interesting how whenever -- whether the leak occurred in the last administration you had member after member talking about disclosures that occurred during the last administration, whether it was members of congress, you know, elijah cummings expressed concern in terms of the americans -- when it dealt

clayton: james rosen doing excellent reporting on this. incidental.ecifically going after the trump transition team or as james rosen pointed out incidental meaning they were looking at russian foreign agents and then individuals were talking to those russian foreign agents and caught up in that web. pete: some are even saying it wasn't the russians though. the surveillance wasn't even focused on the russians. which with s. why we need this evidence to come out. ainsley: he said he had to defend himself last night on hannity because mainstream media was having a hay day with this yesterday. pete: take a listen. >> i will say dissemination was pretty far and wide. like i said before, i think it appears to me that it was all legal, of the question is should have been done in the first place? did it meet foreign intelligence value? and then, secondly, were any other personal names unmasked and i have information that says that there were. clayton: other side of the story, too, he is being blasted this morning by democrats because he went right to the whi

james rosen, the associated press journalists. the list goes on.s an administration that was in any way reluctant to ignore the constitution or law. >> they did not he lou american -- they did not allow american law to be an impediment. the alteration of the headline is interesting. the way they changed it now is to suggest that surveillance was directed at russian operatives and that to the extent trump people may have been intercepted is because they were calling into monitored lines, not that they were the targets. lou: we should point out whether it's from director comey or sources within the obama administration itself, and current government officials, is there not one scintilla of evidence that anything improper occurred in any discussion or act by the trump people as candidates or as the leaders of our government. >> the hacking the elect story is preposterous. the idea it was done in cahoots with the trump campaign is preposterous. the perception that an investigation was being done, but once it's clear there wasn't anything to the story.
