lou: thank you. have agreed to come back and have a longer discussion about the deep state that they have reported and written about in their important book "what the deep state gets wrong." >> announcer: the new "wall street week." maria: welcome to "wall street week," the show that analyzes the week that was and position you for the week ahead. i'm maria bartiromo. tony robbins will join us in just a bit. but first it was a busy week from main street to k street to wall street. the big event was the jobs number friday. the u.s. economy added 235,000 new jo in the month of february. the unemployment rate kicked down to 4.7%. it lks

it's the only way, lou. lou: it may be the only way, but it could be the most costly way, because if this blows up, this would be perps, perhaps, a significant, significant blow to therump administration, and frankly, he is the only one down there right now who counts because he is the man leading the country and to watch paul ryan be absolutely capricious about the impact from the administration, i think is terrible. what do you think? >> i think paul ryan is one of the least capricious people i've ever met. i've known him for 20 years. he's crafted a plan along with the chairman of the two committees. >> how long have you known bill kristol for crying out loud. how long have you known bill kristol? >> 20 years. lou: i think you take my point. fred, we're out of time. thanks for being here. >> always a pleasure, lou. lou: we're coming right back with more. stay with us. >>> vice president mike pence says the end of obamacare is near. >> we're open and talking about ways we can improve that bill and ultimate

lou: think about that, dr. tom price, head of health and humanervices, is e guiding spirit, if you will,rchitect at least at large here, on this legislation, and the best he could do today is say that cbo is a flued entity -- but thatted flawed entity, this is getting to be dangerous stuff. it not good. >> i think by phases, there seems to be good stuff comes later. >> is that not the way of washington. >> like christmas. all this is structured because of reconciliation requirements, i understand that. but -- lou: i don't. >> but it is presented in a way that you just to to wait and see until it is fully implemented, i think that is a very asked for people who are already unhappy with the government program. lou: i heard was, from a few republicans, including speaker goody goody it saves 337 billion over a decade, as if that is sufficient reason, purpose and design to put the fropresident's signature on it. >> argument we made about repealing, we wanted a better healthcare system for those who are using the hea

lou. lou: kevin, let me ask you about this tax reform. the president said thatte today, steve mnuchin treasury secretary, we hearing august for crying out loud, why not now? this now has been hallmark of this president through first two months of his presidency, and wait until later has been if you will the cry of the congress and the senate. why august? reporter: this is why i wish you were here more often. you could walk into that briefing and ask the man. i think you or to something. august is actually a chance to give them an opportunity to not only collect themselves as a group but make certain that they are moving forward in lockstep, they have strong ideas, keep this in mind, this health care battle was parts of a three prong approach, at cleaning up the budget, they want to try to get it ready before they get to august. i think that other thing, you want to be careful, about momentum building, you don't want to come become with manage camp complicated and stagger your way forward. lou: you know there is an old saying, apologizing

lou. lou: thank you, rick. >> joining me now to talk about the long awaiting crackdown against sanctuary cities or outlaw cities, attorney general sessions, and a trump administration committed to the enforcement of our laws, joining us michelle mal malkin. this is an extraordinary moment, fantastical to think there is an administration and an attorney general that is actually going to enforce the laws of the country. >> lou, it is a great day for america for a law abiding citizen. for law abiding immigrants, and naturalized citizens as well. whon 't tha understand that this is the primary duty of federal government to defend and protect the constitution, our rule of law, law and order, public safety and our sovereignty. i am in denver, it is significant that attorney general jeff session mention specifically our horrific case here, where police ignored an i.c.e. detainer and allowed an illegal alien from mexico who went to be released then murdered a young man at a light rail station here

lou: that is extraordinary. and we are vulnerable as a nation. there is no two way withes about it. >> we are seeing the adversaris that are taking advantage of us as russia and china and iran are trampling on u.s. and allied interest in their region and radical islam has spread in a global gihad. and our allies wind up making poor choices because they are intimidated by the countries in the region pushing them around. >> lou: the trump dividend in terms of our military. there is cost consciousness that he is instilling in our pentagon and leaders in the government and making certain that our allies are carrying their weight and burden sharing if p you will in their own defense which is has been until now something that the united states accepted as our responsibility rather than that of our allies. >> you are right. and one that resisted this is coming to washington is angela merkel and i will wager she will tell the united states that he intends to meet the two pce goal of domestic product and that is the powe

. >> lou: good evening, everybody. attorney general jeff sessions recused himself from the investigation of the russian investigation. the national left wing media despicable democrat and some members of the gop engaged in what is a political witch hunt over revelations that sessions had a meeting with the russian ambassador last year. the meetings contradicting session's testimony before congress in january. listen to senator sessions remark are and senator al frankin absurd moment about the trump's ties to the russian government. >> cnn published a story and i am telling you about a new story that has been published and i am not expecting you to know whether or not it is trau or not. cnn published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president last week that included information that quote russian operatives claimed to have personal and financial information about mr. trump. these documents allegedly say quote there was a continuing exchange of information between trump surrogate

lou?liam la jeunesse, reporting. >>> turning now to a few thoughts about rising tensions among republicans following the ryan job care debacle -- ryancare debacle. freedom caucus chairman mark meadows today responded to president trump's war on twitter, telling the washington examiner he believe the president is being, as he put it, well-served by his adviser who have prodded the president to call for a fight against the freedom caucus adding, quote: the narrative is not surprising in the white house because some of his advisers are suggesting that there was consensus and that we pulled the rug out. nothing could be farther from the truth. does that sound familiar? it was only three days ago that i said on this broadcast, quote: while i greatly admire president trump's loyalty, i desperately wish it were reciprocated by those who should be faithfully and exclusively serving president trump rather than old friends, allies and previous presidents. as for consensus, speaker ryan gave no oppor

lou: let me go one further.ehow speaker ryan fooled the president into thinking that he was something more than he is. and that's a shame. and that may be on reinc reince priebus. i don't know who it's on. but the president right now it looks to me like he was given bad counsel, bad advice and some awful bad strategizing on this legislation. what do you think? >> i think that's right. i think he immediately realized that the speaker doesn't have complete control of this caucus and does not have 216 votes to pass healthcare, repeal and replace with obamacare or other measures. notice the schedule after that. he then meets with the freedom caucus. he meets with the congressional black caucus and other individual members realizing that his ability to persuade and convince is far great than whatever whip you might have in the house. lou: i are can't quite figure out the roadmap. i don't know if it's reince priebus. but this is a president who could have, would have turned this in the correct direction. but for whate

. >> lou: epa cutting 31 percent p. state department. i assume all 28 will come at the desk where they had calamities over the years. just kidding. >> there is not enough money to do all of the things that the president wants to do. and you are spending billions on foreign aid. what the president is doing is resetting priorities. it is now trump priorities. >> lou: they are well established. to see what he's done. not even two months in office. it is extraordinary. now america first budget, which again delivers on the promise and we know what was obamacare and that is now ryan care and on the way to becoming trump care, i think the country for the first time in a long time, has a man in the ov ofce. we know he will not sign it unless it meets his promises and what he has told the america people. >> he has a great skill as a negotiator. but equally important he has to be a salesman. and when he bleeds in the bill, and to it is to the public's benefit he will sell it aggressively. >> lou: america first. i have to give nic

now here's lou. lou: in a news day chockful of shocking developments, it appears president trump has been vindicated in his assertion that he was quote, unquote wiretapped. house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes today revealed the obama administration spied on members of the trump transition team after the november election, and possibly spied on president trump himself. >> i have seen intelligence reports that clearly show that the president-elect and his team were, i guess, at least monitored and disseminated out among the intelligence. lou: among the many questions, why didn't the heads of the fbi and nsa tell us all about this two days ago when they were testifying before congress? >>> also tonight, conservatives threatening to derail ryancare. more than 25 members of the house freedom caucus reportedly plan to vote no tomorrow, at wod be more than enough to sink the speaker's bill. >> i can tell thought opposition is still strong. they don't have the votes to pass this tomorrow. we be

lou: and aggressively.ou: it's interesting the obama administration in july of last year in a first sa court trying to get wiretaps on the trump campaign declined. but in october trying to find any connection to russia. no connection found says speaker ryan. there is no evidence of anyone whatsoever in the trump campaign being nnected toussia. >> they are behaving in a more despicable way than the top russian spies and operatives because they are operating their own disinformation campaign trying to create an air of impropriety where there is no substance or facts to back it up. president trump said back at you. let's investigate schumer. lou: i'm not satisfied where we are in the clinton investigations. i think we should see a full investigation of the clinton foundation, their involvement with foreign governments. what happened with uranium one and the russian government and how $145 million moved into the coffers of the foundation. >> let's take the can opener to their heads on that one, lou. lou: let's

lou dobbs is next on fox business. lou: good evening, everybody. attorney general jeff sessions today recused himself from the investigation of russian interference in the election. that after growing calls for him to step aside. the national left-wing media, despicable democrats and some members of the gop in fact, engaged in what is clearly a political witch-hunt over revelations sessions had a meeting with russia's ambassador last year. two of them, in fact, the meetings contradicting sessions' testimony before congress in january, but listen to senator sessions' remarks and you can see senator al franken even shrugging at the absurdity of the moment at the reports about the trump campaign's ties to the russian government. >> cnn has just published a story, and i'm telling you this about a new story that's just been published so i'm not expecting you to know whether or not it's true or not, but cnn just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that, q

lou: let's -- >> hard for me to tell. lou: that means it hard for all of us.g quickly to neil gorsuch's confirmation. mitch mcconnell saiding he will be confirmed friday next week no matter what, does that sound like including using nuclear option if necessary? >> of course. if necessary. it would be a grave mistake and miscalculation for the democrats to force the use of it in connection with gorsuch nomination. his going on the court would leave the balance it was before justice scalia died. the al struggle will come er the next one. if the democrats make the republicans use what you refer to as nuclear option, that is eliminate the filibuster with supreme court justices, that will be rule in place when next hav vacancy occurs, the odds are it will consider during the trump administration, one justice has indicated he may very well retire, and others are not in good health. lou: as early as next summer. great to see you. >> thank you. lou: look at this video. a group of thrillseekers working to create their own rainbow. you wonder why would they do that? nat

>>>> lou: you are right. we voted on something and passed it in the house and senate and sent it to president obama he vetoed it. let the this president sign it. i am in favor of putting a replacement plan on the the floor. we are making it not really a replacement or repeal. it becomes a big government program that it will replace one that doesn't work any better and defying history and we have to get it right. i have been working with my colleague and chairman brady on way and means to see if we can find something that makes fiscal sense for the american people. >> lou: that don't include taxes on the american people and wouldn't include income credits. i mean, we go through this. it is deeply troubling to me as i watch it from affair, i will tell you, because this president promiseed to drain the swamp. it is his agenda that is responsible for the election, not only his but so many in the house and senate and to defy, to defy the american people on this, is a big mistake for speaker ryan and his leadership
