>> congratulations to lindsay graham. he is reminding the president that u.s.enators are n chopped liver and you can't just throw out a completely unsupported allegation and duck and cover. we are in a moment now where there's a test on all three branches of government. are they going to reassert their constitutional authority and standing, and lindsay graham is obviously extremely skeptical and it's a put up or shut up moment, and i think this is the big story of the day. we are going to find out that in fact there was something there, or more likely as senator graham suspects, that the president has nothing, that he made an allegation that the former president of the united states committed a felony with no evidence whatsoever. either way it's a huge story. >> what is the hold up? josh, one would guess that there is definitive information about whether or not there was or was not a warrant. what do you think the hold up is here? >> ordinarily the fbi does not talk about whether it has an investigation into a matter or not, and there are good reasons for that

here is republican senator, lindsay graham, republican senator lindsay graham last hour on our show talkingn akin that want to know about russia. >> if you go to myrtle beabeach -- >> if it turns out there's a criminal investigation by the fbi, that should be inferred to a special council for prosecution, and i want to know what you think about that? >> we are having a new deputy attorney general come forth and he was introduced by two democrats and from the state of maryland and i want to give him a chance to be able to look at this investigation, monitor it, advise it up until the point i believe he cannot do that. i do not believe he would be disqualified because he was picked by president obama. the need for a special prosecutor would only arise if we lost confidence in him, if there is a criminal investigation. director comey is a good man, and tell us if there's a warrant or criminal investigation and then we will find out whether or not we need a special prosecutor. >> david ignatius, i am wondering in the course of you talking to your many, many sources in washington, d.c., if you h

. >> lindsay graham was asked about the situation with jeff sessions in a cnn town hall. he was asked if he believes there's a need for a special prosecutor which others have resisted. listen to senator graham. >> if there is something there and it goes up the chain of investigation, it is clear to necessity that jeff sessions, who is my dear friend, cannot make this decision about trump. so there may be nothing there but if there's something there that the fbi believes is criminal in nature, then for sure you need a special prosecutor. if that day ever comes, i'll be the first one to say it needs to be somebody other than jeff. >> last night, 24 hours ago i think it was, i asked you specifically -- the night before last it was, how long can the administration resist the push for a special prosecutor. you sid they can resist it for a long time another now that the republicans like graham and others, does it get harder? >> much harder. republicans have to tread lightly here. their integrity in this process has to be beyond re3r0e67. senator graham made the right call. we ha

and the last thing you want to tell lindsay graham, you have to voem for this bill because i told you that's not draining the swamp. that's how obamacare that got passed. there were democrats that knew obamacare wouldn't work, but they were afraid of president obama and his political machine. i don't intend to do that. to mark meadows from north carolina, the freedom caucus says no to almost everything. i'm not a freedom caucus type person. but in this case, stick to your guns if you believe this bill will not help the american people. don't let any politician tell you you must vote for a bill or you'l lose your job. how do you explain to people that you represent the reason i voted for this bill is my sweethearts gone sayonara. this scarf all thats left to remem... what! she washed this like a month ago the long lasting scent of gain flings ♪ [joy bauer] two thirds of americans have digestive issues. i'm joy bauer, and as a nutritionist i know probiotics can often help. but many probiotics do not survive your stomach's harsh environment. digestive advantage is different. its natural

so you are already seeing lindsay graham and ben sass, two republican leaders saying with a win skpbg wink and a nod, saying they are going to look into this and so trump has really sort of taken a step that takes control of the narrative away from him in a sense. >> right. julian, i want to bring this point up. trump in all of his talk has had a rather complicated history with president obama, and here's a quick reminder for all of us. >> i think president obama is behind it, because his people are certainly behind it. >> and we are grateful to president obama and first lady michelle obama, for their gracious aid throughout this transition. he is the founder of isis. he's the finder of isis. i have great respect. the meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half, and it could have gone on for a lot longer. our president is the greatest divider i have ever seen. there's one line called place of birth and i would like to see what he said. >> talk about whip saw. do you think president obama will continue to be a target for president trump? >> yes , i think he will. and trump started his

meanwhile, over in the senate, senator lindsay graham announced at the beginning of the house -- senategs that he had set off a letter to the director of the fbi and in graham's word the answer that comes back to that letter could hinge on whether or not this deputy attorney general's position and confirmation moves forward. this is how graham opened up the hearing today. >> this letter was a pretty simple request. was there a warrant issued by any court anywhere in the united states allowing the surveillance of the trump campaign, trump operative during the 2016 election a information that was used to obtain a warrant. if a warrant was requested and denied, we'd also like to know that. >> reporter: we should point out that president trump repeatedly denied any involvement between his presidential campaign and russian officials despite the fact that his first national security advisor had to resign after later admitting that he had talks with russian officials and as we mentioned his own attorney general later to had to clarify his confirmation testimony that he had spoken with a russia

tom cotton, senator from arkansas, lindsay graham, have both said, let's slow down. why go so fast?at's puzzling me to me? why go so fast? let me see -- we ran on repeal and replace in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016. and oh, by the way, we spent six months last year developing a replacement plan. we ran on that plan. >> these senators know that. >> this has been a long and deliberate process. suggesting that this is going fast, going through this four committees, going through regular order. saying we were going to do this for seven years and now come to the point where we're on the cusp of keeping our word, i hardly think we're rushing things. >> what is wrong with this bill? >> it's basically obamacare light. it keeps the subsidies, keeps the taxes for a year, keeps the cadillac tax forever. it keeps the individual mandate interestingly. republicans have complained for years, saying we didn't like that government was going to make you pay a penalty. now instead of paying a penalty to the government, you pay it to the insurance industry. there's also bailouts for the insurance industries.

lindsay graham calls this the collapse and replace strategy. do you think that if republicans just leave obamacare as it is, for several years, for the le t length of trump's term, maybe if he got a second term, would obamacare survive if nothing was done? do changes need to be made? >> obama -- excuse me, president trump doesn't mean nothing's going to be done. in my opinion. what i'm hopeful he does not do or dr. price might do as they intimated they might do is to take steps to undermine america's health care and make obamacare not work because of their actions. the cbo has said it's stable, it's working, it's accomplishin. is it perfect? no. the fact of the matter is it's working. if the trump administration does not take actions aofficiffirmat to undermine america's health care that they have through the affordable care act, it will be okay. can we make some improvements in it? we certainly can. would we be willing to work with president trump on that? yes, we can. we ought to make the affordable care act better, not undermine it. that's w

this is what texas congressman and lindsay graham faced back hope. >> to replace it. good, good.ut break it off? >> as you can hear, the republican lawmakers are facing a little more than jeers than cheers as they address voters. so with health care tabled for now, had president trump and paul ryan are looking ahead to tax reform. but is that the right move in joining me is ryan costello. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> the first things first, the health care plan did not get passed. was it the freedom caucus and they're digging in their heels and saying no or was at this time president's inability to make a deal? >> i think speaker ryan hit the nail on the head. finger pointing only goes so far. we need to find a government majority to get health care accomplished. that may or may not happen looking across the aisle. >> you were prepared to vote no in that, correct? >> i was. i advanced this bill out of committee because i felt the framework is appropriate. when you look at it, clearly we had to make a measurable impact in terms of bringing down cost of premiums an

i think, lindsay graham is right on that incidentally. build a huge wall. didn't care about immigration until two years ago when it was successful in the campaign. he cared about trade for 30 years. cheerily employed immigrants and illegal immigrants on his properties. didn't say a word about it until two, three years ago. imagine trump becoming modera moderately liberal on legalization, the wall, a lot of bluster about that. to pull off that -- took nixon and kissinger to work if out, for trump to work out a kind of combination of a wall and a moderate immigration plan, that takes real legislative skill. and work and i just don't know if it's there. >> bill, thank you. >>> right now at the white houshous house, president trump is having dinner with secretary of state rex tillerson, days away from the president rolling out his new executive order on immigration and travel. we'll be right back. st friend. uh oh. yeah. oop! there's the rescue text from my roommate saying she needs me. wouldn't it be great if everyone said what they meant? the citi double cash
