we'll also hear from nancy pelosi, the leader of house democrats. el paso, texas, patrick on the republican line joining us now. caller: i just want to say, it just confuses me to not really understand what the alternatives to repealing obamacare are. you know you hear some people calling in and they're say, you know, that maybe we should keep this bill. but when it comes down to the things that people are really upset about, not being able to keep their doctors across state lines, premiums going up, what are the options? you know, you don't hear the democrats talking about that either. not putting out realistic options for something other than repealing this affordable care act. host: thanks for calling. to ray in ohio. we're awaiting paul ryan in the capitol. ray, we might have to keep it brief, go ahead. caller: i'll try to keep it as brief as possible. i'm listening to a lot of different calls from a lot of different people and the majority of them are all correct in what they're saying. i don't know what's going to be the answer but i got an id

we expect to hear from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. nancy pelosi: good afternoon. the counting is in and the cbo has reported that the republican bill pushes 24 million people out of health care. and is a remarkable figure it speaks to the cruelty of the bill that the speaker called, "an act of mercy." it is not an act of mercy to the or twowho lose jobs hospitals they close in rural areas. i do not know if he thinks this is an act of mercy for people on opioids who look to medicaid for answers, like many republican governors do. we are taking millions off of coverage and they are implementing the biggest transfer of wealth in our -- going- $600 billion to the richest corporations in our country. in terms of insurance coverage, this is immoral. in terms of giving money to the workingthe expense of families, it is not decent and it is wrong. the republicans are confused. discreditingsay the cbo and others are glorifying pushing off 24 million from coverage. they see the numbers and they should know how that transfers into the lives of people. how can they look their

liz: democrat minority leader nancy pelosi denied ever meeting with russian ambassador sergey can . hen this picture surfaced with the russian ambassador shows pelosi in 2010 meeting with then russian president. the russian ambassador is right across the table from nancy pelosi. but when confronted with that evidence, nancy pelosi still denied it. >> the question is have you met with him? no, i haven't met with him. i met with the president of russia. who else is in his entourage? who knows. president's heads of state, they barrel even introduce them. so it is completely, completely different. liz: let's take this to the political panel. joining me now republican strategist and democrat strategist brad bowman. does it depend on what the meaning of the word met is? >> you know, the problem for the democrats is they really need a new face to their party. as long as we're talking about nancy pelosi, it's just not the future they need to be looking towards. and she's splitting hairs over whether or not she met him. nancy pelosi has been in politics long enough to know who's in a entourag

we're waiting for democratic leader nancy pelosi. her briefing should be getting under way within a moment or two, so we'll stay here live and hear from kim, quickly, in lafayette, indiana, on our republican line. go ahead, kim. caller: yes. i wanted to call in on the concern for taxing those 50 and up, especially those in the 64 age group. i was vital and vigorous at 38 until i came down with some serious conditions. i currently am fortunate enough to be on a private employer robust plan, but i am aging. and to tax the elderly just because they're aging, i would have never thought i would have the conditions that i do and without my fortunate health care plan, my prescriptions could be $1,000 a month. and, you know, the 50 and up age group shouldn't be penalized because they lived that long. and for any of our representatives, whether they be in congress, or even the president himself, to belittle the fact that we've been fortunate enough to live past the age of 50 should be taken into serious consideration of age discrimination. it

hear from two leading democrats, senate minority leader chuck schumer and house minority leader nancy pelosi. overnight sessions said sessions should flat out resign. she accused him of lying under oath, under penalty of perjury uhrour when he said this back in january. >> if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the trump campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do? >> senator franken, i'm not aware of any of those activities. i have been called a surrogate a time or two in that campaign, and i did not have communications with the russians. >> here's what we do know. we know sessions, then a sitting u.s. senator, and not only a trump supporter about chairman of his national committee, met twice with the ambassador to russia. that matters a lot because of the findings of russian meddling in the u.s. election and whether sessions could legitimately oversee an investigation into ties between russia and the trump campaign. this morning he defended his sworn testimony. listen. >> well, i have not met with any russians at any time

speaker nancy pelosi is a very smart woman.ut she, because of the way we leave these days, people refused to say, i could be wrong, let mr guy, -- >> bill: she is never going to admit. >> let me compromise because i'm after a solution, the truth. we don't see that. >> bill: that is what happened with barney frank. >> that is why we are dysfunctional as an american government. speaker that is what happened with barney frank, even after i played him the tape of him saying it, i'm going, where is rodney sterling? we have entered the twilight zone. then, when he got nasty, i let him have it, lisa. people said, o'reilly's mean. [laughter] >> you are not to mean. i would like to see you interview nancy pelosi. the problem is, bill come a lot of the times, particularly of left, they are not held account. a lot of us at house they do, >> bill: they do whatever they want. >> look at an issue like abortion might divide the country. when was hillary clinton never asked about holdings stances like abortions at 20 weeks, something with the

i thought nancy pelosi and jacki speier did a very good job in calling for an independent commission investigate what's going on with russia."pelosi said vladimir putin interfered with our democratic election, and wondered why president trump has buddied up with him so closely."what do the russians have on donald trump politically, personally, and financially?"when asked if they would hold a sit in until the intelligence committee arranges an independent investigation, speier replied with:"i am a fan of civil disobedience."as usual, talk of health care got people riled up.some people felt pelosi wasn't being firm enough in her support for a single-payer system."while i support nancy pelosi, i'm disappointed in her stance and in her answers."but the congresswoman did say she's ready to work with the president to make improvements to obamacare."one of them is to clarify the language - which i think is clear - but to clarify the action that states can have their own public option."both representatives want to go after a way to lower prescription drug costs next. some of the town hall pa

nancy pelosi, chuck schumer?well, i think what he is showing how silly it is for the democrats to claim somehow jeff sessions did anything wrong. you know the question he was asked during his hearing was in the context of members of the trump campaign being in communication with someone from russia. and his answer of course was, that he was not because he didn't have anything as a campaign representative. so within the context of the question, he was absolutely right. so again, it is absolutely wrong to claim that he did something improper. david: ed meese, who was attorney general under president reagan, thank you very much for talking to us, sir, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> so democrats are furious over the russian controversy surrounding jeff sessions but rush limbaugh is saying this outcry is about something else entirely. >> this story is barack obama and the democrat party attempting to sabotage the trump presidency and do everything they can to either render it meaningless and ineffective or get him im

floor or maybe it would have taken a few months, no one is better than whipping and organized than nancy pelosie grew up in baltimore. her father was the mayor of baltimore and a congressman. she's no longer san francisco nancy, she's baltimore nancy. >> what's amazing is that traditional politics actually did win, and people who were scoffing at keeping nancy pelosi as the leader of the democrats because she's on in years or whatever people want to say, nancy pelosi is fierce. she's the best speaker of the house in 60 years. >> she raised $100 million for democrats. if you're a democrat, that's what you should care about against republicans. she keeps the caucus. >> she popped her collar this week. i was like, nancy. she's baltimore nancy. absolutely. top that. >> there's a coalition that you probably never heard of called protect our care. these men and women have been working literally since obamacare passed through this week and they won. they were making sure that average americans knew exactly what the cost of the repeal was going to be. they have been pulling all nighters for years, and

i would like to see you interview nancy pelosi.he problem too, bill, is, a lof of the times, particularly of left, they are not held accountable by the media. a lothe of what they do -- >> bill: they do whatever they want. >> look at an issue like abortion that divides the country. when was hillary clinton ever asked about holding stances like abortions at 20 h weeks, somethg that the majority of americans reject? when was she ever questioned about the democratic party adopting, repealing thee hyde amendment, completely against long-standing bipartisan legislation? >> bill: that's a whole different story. the media being an enabler of this propaganda is a whole different story. good debate, you guys. next on "the rundown," more irrationality over obamacare. later, u.s. troops back on the ground in syria, iraq, and yemen. we will have a "factor" investigation up ahead. have a " investigation up ahead safe drivers who switch to esurance could save money on car insurance. in fact, safe drivers who switch from geico to esurance could s

nancy pelosi -- her body language never looked like she walked into that room with an open mind. like she was going to listen and digest the speech any different than her preconceived notion of what he was going to say. her big thing, she released a statement, there is no job bill. that's her new thing. of course the white house's response to that is that's not how we are creating jobs. we are plummeting tax reform. government doesn't create jobs. up but nancy pelosi is going to stick to that point. >> meghan: they all look like they're waiting to get a root canal the entire time. >> harris: we only see this at the state of the union, this is earlier than that. at this is just a joint session conversation at the had last night, it's never warm and fuzzy for whichever party is out of power. it's never like that. this is exceptional but they were all dressed in one color and thumbing the president. >> jeanine: they don't speak for all women, but when you think about it, you have the president of the united states, he is optimistic and his speech and he's looking at all of these wom

i don't want to make nancy pelosi the scapegoat but it's fitting to give her a round of applause for her help, is it not? thank you, nancy. here is the truth. this growing hope didn't begin in congress. the winds that unfolded the sails of this nation started the grass roots level, people like you in the towns, factories, places of worship, ball fields with families of hard working americans that said we had enough. many of you are part of this change. you worked your butts off the change the course of the future and here is the proof. in 2009 there were 28 democrats. anybody want to take a guess how many now? 16. in all democrats have lost over 1,000 seats throughout the nation. and now control only 31 of the 98 state legislators that's to you hard work. why is that? the answer is pretty simple. big government policies have not yielded economic opportunity upward mokt bility. instead, trapped two generations inpendency. god created everyone with special skills, a uniqueness with great abilities. the government created systems that doesn't help people flourish the time for good polic

we have seen democrats like nancy pelosi all over. this will be her second press conference in 16 hours or so since the cbo bill report has been released. and we saw her saying yesterday that this is -- this spin coming from the white house and republicans in the aftermath of the report is like trying to pin a rose on something to make it good in the end. and she called on the house leadership to pull the bill, something they have said they will not do. speaker ryan not going to really give an inch here indicated that he will be pushing forward on his bill. john? >> sunlen serfaty on capitol hill. david gergen joins us right now. cnn's senior political analyst. also andre brour, former lieutenant governor, maria cardona. thank you one and all for being here. david gergen, 24 million people. 24 million more people will be uninsured in ten years. that is a tough number. whether or not you support this plan, that is a difficult number. and now speaker paul ryan and the president, the white house, we think are in the business of still try

there is nancy pelosi. we're going to be listening -- kind of have a feeling we know what we have to say. melissa: look at the smile. david: hold that question, though, bob. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm very proud to be here with the house democratic leadership, the unity of our house democratic members was very important message to the country, that we are very proud of the affordable care act. yesterday, as you know was seven-yearen -- anniversary of the president signing the bill and the american people expressed their support for it. that message became very clear to our colleagues on the republican side of the aisle. today is a great day for our country. it's a victory, what happened on the floor is victory for american people. for our seniors, americans with disabilities, for our children, for our veterans. also it is not just about the 24 million people who now won't be off of health insurance. it is about 155 million people who receive benefits in the work place who will not be

president trump tweeting i demand one about nancy pelosi and lying about it.h me the panel alex, all right, heidi. when you saw these picture -- do you know anybody who saw the pictures who didn't laugh? >> i'm laughing because there's so many lawmaker saying i never met with russia and then pictures come out. this is is diverse because there's no one alleging or schumer or pelosi colluded with the russians. it's false equivalence. >> france ches ka, do you know anyone who didn't laugh seeing those pictures? >> no. they have been accusing him with constant campaign -- democrats are talked to the russian, just talk to them doesn't mean there's something going on. >> we had outrage of mccaskill that suggested how can he forget meeting with the russian ambassador and someone pulled up two prior tweets where she going off to meet the russian suppo ambassador. >> he is pointing out a contradiction that democrats are trying to make this a political issue. he had this really good speech, they got great reviews, now he spending the final account of the week talking ab

that was nancy pelosi calling fbi comey to set the record straight. as the "new york times" reported -- they have declined to do so. mr. comey has remained silent on the issue. for more on this continuing story let's bring in the "hardball" table. let go to franchesca, as you were there, comey wascying i have no evidence in this meeting with the fbi director that suggests there was request for president obama to use wiretapping to get to trump. >> she would not comments on that directly. however i asked if she see anything to lead her to believe that -- conducted on -- she told me obama would not do that and it could not possibly be true. >> here is what seems to be going on comey knows, but won't say because he doesn't want to lose his job. at that point there's no relationship between the president and fbi director. there's no relationship. >> he doesn't want to pick a public fight with the sitting president. >> everybody in the office -- would you rat him out. then you goes to -- will somebody do this so i don't have to do it and lose my job. is se

. >> we've also got house leader nancy pelosi live at the podium. we're going to bring it to you as democrats already now calling for sessions to resign. what about republicans? well, some are now hoping that the attorney general will step away from any investigation into russia's election interference. this hour we are talking with iowa congressman and member of the judiciary committee steve king. pete williams is in washington, peter alexander at the white house, kasie hunt on the hill, one of the reporters who broke the sessions story, ellen nokashima of "the washington post" and eliza collins. i want to start immediately with ellen who broke this story, front page piece, a huge scoop. walk us through this. sessions was saying his meeting with the russian ambassador was as his official capacity as a senator on the armed services committee drawing this distinction as a surrogate or somebody who campaigned for the president on the campaign trail. talk about how this came up. >> jeff sessions during his confirmation hearing in january said he had ne

we are still waiting to hear from nancy pelosi, the house democratic leader. we are expecting her in that same room at that same podium where paul ryan just was. also, we are expecting any minute now to be receiving comments from the president, from donald trump. he'll be making some remarks, we are told, from the oval office. the president this hour in a previously scheduled meeting with medal of honor recipients at the white house, apparently at the conclusion of that event, he'll have something to say about what is happening on the other side of washington right now. we will get back to you, obviously, as soon as we can. in the meantime, while we wait for those proceedings, let's bring in msnbc political analyst hugh hewitt, the host of "the hugh hewitt" and hugh, a conservative republican, you are. and you are supporting the passage of this bill today. you were urging republicans to do it. where did it break down in your mind? >> i think we had, within the freedom caucus, not the entire freedom caucus, but within it a sort of area 51 sub-caucus of republic

meantime, the top democrat in the house, nancy pelosi, blasting republicans were trying to pass their bill on obamacare obamacare's seventh anniversary. >> so eager where they to be mean-spirited, to say we're going to bring up this bill on the same date as the seventh anniversary of the affordable care act. maybe donald trump is a great negotiator. clearly, you're not ready. this piece it don't act on my stomach >> pete: even your most experienced experts on the hill don't know where this stands. they're bringing that bill towards things that conservatives have said they wanted for a very long time. we should be mandating care, we should be providing as many options as possible. i don't know who charlie dent is. i don't know how he's in provo again. if you're saying now is key to conservatives and it's providing too much, i can't support it, he might as well caucus for the democrats on this. this is a key moment and i think they're doing the right things, making the adjustments. the bill comes out of the house as conservative as possible. how the things in it we have said we wanted t

we interrupted nancy pelosi and house democrats to bring you the president's remarks. we'll reair the house democrats' briefing in its entirety shortly here on c-span. also going to show you paul ryan again and his briefing from the capitol after the pulling of the health care bill. that's coming up in about 10 minutes or so. in the meantime, more of your phone calls. your reaction today to what happened to the health care replacement bill that the g.o.p. was trying to get passed. three or four hours of debate, the house went into recess an it was clear that the votes were not there. let's go back to your calls, the phone you were ins are on your screen. we'll go first to julia in madison, indiana. republican caller. hi, julia. caller: hi, thank you. this is a very sad day for millions of american citizens. am appalled at the democrats who consider this an occasion for exuberance. because obamacare has not been repealed and replaced or improved. i completely agree with president trump when he says obamacare will implode. that is going to be tragic for millions of ameri

howie: what about nancy pelosi? >> very disappointed in minority lead for nancy pelosi. majority of voters across the can't you dry were fee mail and they didn't want her to be speaker. she either wasn't telling the truth or it wasn't important enough to her caucus that they would bring it to her. saying that one should resign, that one should be impeached. she had nothing to say about a member of her caucus issuing such a tasteless, sexist joke which many liberals in the room didn't think it was funny. she and i went to the same small women's catholic college. that's small catholic college can boast the first female speaker 69 house and the first female campaign manager. you would think they would object to nancy pelosi's abortion any time, anywhere. this ways happens when you refuse to call yourself a doctrinaire feminist. look at the commercials on tv. men can't open a garbage bag unless the woman shows them how. howie: you were off tv for 8 days and stories were run saying you had been sidelined by the white house. >> i'm invited on tv routinely. i have been allowed

i think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer because now they own obamacare.hey own it. 100% own it. this is not a republican healthcare. this is not anything but a democrat healthcare. they have obamacare for a little while longer until it ceases to exist, which it will at some point in the near future. and just remember this is not our bill. this is their bill. when they all become civilized and get together and try to work out a great healthcare bill for the people of this country, we are open to it. we are totally open to it. i want to thank the republican party. i want to thank paul ryan. he worked very, very hard. i will tell you that. he worked very, very hard. tom price and mike pence right here, our vice pr everybody worked hard. i worked as a team player. and would have loved to have seen it pass. but again, i think you know i was clear because i think there wasn't a speech i made or very few where i didn't mention perhaps the best thing that could happen is exactly what happened today. because we will end up with a truly great healthcare bill in the

would not seem inclined to accept the advice from house leader nancy pelosi who has called for his resignation. thanks for coming in this morning. >> good morning. >> president trump's allegation so far evidence free that president obama wire tapped him. you're part of the committees that would be privy to such information. do you have any what he's talking about? >> the president is the deflector in chief. anything to change the subject from where the heat is. and as one who has been engaged in intelligence, a member of the gang of eight for a long time, i can tell you that it's just ridiculous for the president, president trump to say that president obama would ever order any wiretap of an american citizen, any president. that's just not -- we don't do that. and so this is -- it's called a wrap-up smear. you make up something, then you have the press write about it, then you say everybody is writing about this charge. it's the tool of an authoritarian to just have you always talking about what you want them to be talking about. rather than russia we talking about did president obama do this.

signed sincerely, nancy pelosi, democratic leader. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from washington seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i send to the

nobody is better than whipping and organizing than nancy pelosi. use many people don't know, she grew up in baltimore, her father was the mayor in baltimore and a congressman. she's no longer san francisco nancy, she's baltimore nancy. >> traditional politics, and chris hayes was making this point last night, traditional politics actually did win. and people who were scoffing at keeping nancy pelosi as the leader of the democrats because she's on in years or whatever people want to say. she's fierce. she was the best speaker of the house i would argue in 60 years. she was so good. >> she raised $100 million for democrats. she has ads against up against the republicans. she keeps the caucus together. >> she popped her collar this week. when she popped that -- >> she is baltimore nancy. >> top that. >> there is a coalition you have never heard of called protect or care. these men and women have been working literally since obamacare passed through this week and they won. they were making sure that average americans knew what the cost of repeal is goin

nancy pelosi said that was a rookie error. is she right about that? >> well, look, there's going to be a lot of people that will be blamed if this fails. success has a thousands fathers. failures is an orphan. there's plenty of fathers to this and plenty of blame to go around. the first person to blame would be paul ryan. he was the architect of this. he's had seven years to try to put together a coherent plan. the house republican caucus, all of the republicans, the freedom caucus, as you pointed out earlier, they've been saying for seven years, give us a majority in the house, the senate and the white house and we'll repeal and replace obamacare. finally got it and looks like a good chance they won't do it. raises the question as to whether they're a governing party. it's a big defeat for donald trump. he decided to make this his first big legislative issue. he said he was the big deal maker in chief. if he doesn't pull it off, it raises questions about the rest of his agenda. >> shepard: you say serious questions about the rest of his agenda. tax c

. >> just moment ago, nancy pelosi releasing a statement attorney general sessions are totally inadequate. his lies to the american people make him unfit to serve.

here is the house democratic leader nancy pelosi on friday.video clip] >> today is a great day for our country. a victory for the american people, for our seniors, for people with disabilities, for our children, for our veterans. also, it is not just about the 24 million people who now will not be off of health insurance. it is about a 155 million people who receive their health benefits in the workplace and will not be assaulted by some of the provisions that the republicans put in the bill, especially last night when they removed the essential benefits package. this is pretty exciting for us. yesterday, our anniversary. today, a victory for the affordable care act and more importantly for the american people. anniversarythe 51st of reverend martin luther king jr. saying in his speech that mr. clyburn quotes offered to us. of all the forms of inequality, inequality in health care is the most inhumane and can sometimes lead to death. that was the spirit in which we came into this debate, honoring the vows of our founders of life, liberty, and

i thought nancy pelosi and jacki speier did a very good job in calling for an independent commission tigate what's going on with russia."pelosi said vladimir putin interfered with our democratic election, and wondered why president trump has buddied up with him so closely."what do the russians have on donald trump politically, personally, and financially?"when asked if they would hold a sit in until the intelligence committee arranges an independent investigation, speier replied with:"i am a fan of civil disobedience."as usual, talk of health care got people riled up.some people felt pelosi wasn't being firm enough in her support for a single-payer system."while i support nancy pelosi, i'm disappointed in her stance and in her answers."but the congresswoman did say she's ready to work with the president to make improvements to obamacare."one of them is to clarify the language - which i think is clear - but to clarify the action that states can have their own public option."both representatives want to go after a way to lower prescription drug costs next. some of the town hall particip

lou: who would want to fight with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer?achel: they are going come back with a better bill. lou: who will be the speaker when they do? rachel: paul ryan will be the speaker. lou: the result has been crickets. what do you think, lou? gayle: i think rachel is right, paul ryan is your typical d.c. thought leader and not a do-leader. we were talking about the replacement for speaker boehner that paul ryan had to be persuaded to be the speaker. that should have given everybody the clue right there that he was not up on the job. i'm not trying to be too harsh on paul ryan, certainly he's a goodan. but he wasn't able to deliver. he let the president down and the president down and he let americans down this week. we had many ways to address the healthcare crisis in our country and paul ryan was unable to deliver the goods. rachel: the speaker of the house is the most unenviable job in the house. lou: take the chairman of the freedom caucus, congressman mark meadows. take the head of the conference. bring walker in, bring in jordan

and you are going to vote for nancy pelosi. you are going to vote for her and against the president who helped bring you into office? >> if we back off and try to do this right. next year premiums go to president trump -- go to president obama. but don't they carry the weight of it from here on out. all the negatives? >> yes, they will be losers anyway. if they don't pass anything, them suffer the continues of that. it's bert they pass something, and start tweaking it. becaus they delay it, the endaets delayed and within we can't gover i think we come out looking the losers. charles: i always questioned the timeline and why this had to come first. a lot of folks who know how the inner workings go said you could have cut taxes first. we could be taking in bid and ready to break ground. is it possible to shelf this and get some of the other parts of the agenda in? >> if i'm trump i tear whole thing up and sit down with a sheet of paper and 8 diverse members of the house and try to start something new. if i can't do that, i shelf

and with that i turn the microphone over to the leader of the democratic caucus, our leader nancy pelosi. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. tomorrow march 25 marks the 51st anniversary of when dr. martin luther king said come he said of all the forms of inequality, injustice and in health is a most shocking and the most inhuman because it also results in the sickle deaf. 51 years ago tomorrow. so today is really of values debate as we go into it about a sense of community, who we are as a nation. the facts are very clear about this bill in terms of health care. higher costs, people will pay higher premiums, higher

hearing with nancy pelosi who is holding a weekly briefly, and we will join it. it start ad couple of moments ago. >>> it appears that we have technical issues fix and so we will go live to capitol hill to hear from the house minority leader nancy pelosi with the weekly briefing. >> that purerjury is a crime. there are consequences to it. it are remains to be seen what the investigation and what else the investigation will lead to. but perjury by an ordinary citizen is punishable in the courts. how much enhanced is that accountability for the top the law enforcement person in our country. so, let's see an investigation. i don't know what the problem the republicans have with the truth? they don't want to know the truth about the russian connection. they don't want to tell the truth about their affordable care act bill they have hidden in a basement some place, and reject the idea that we will remove it from congress, and have an independent commission outside of the congress connect ed to the russian connections which are about hacking and undermining the democra

that's nancy pelosi.n, if we're going to start going down this road, is adam schiff colluding with nancy pelosi. they're putting out statements on the same day, on the same subject. what members of the intelligence committee are doing this that are democrats? if you want to go town this load, not just you, if you want to go down the road, we need to go down the road in full. we need to get all of this out. every last bit of this out. what the members' responsibilities were, who talked to who. >> right. but, jeffrey, that committee is not investigating nancy pelosi. they are investigating people who were associated with the trump campaign. >> maybe they should. she said she never met with the russian ambassador. and then, there was a picture of her meeting with the russian ambassador. >> okay. but the idea that -- a senior official told ryan lizza, watch for this, and nunes does that. and you have another series of events and the president himself telegraphs that something is going to come out. >> did nanc

he said chuck schumer, the minority leader and nancy pelosi, he's blaming them. as we got past this partisan, he started talking about if obamacare explodes -- that was the word he kept using, maybe he could come back take it off the shelf and craft a bipartisan bill with democrats. i said, would you be more comfortable with that? my sense is covering president trump that east a nonideological republican. he said a lot of people said i'd be better cutting a deal with the democrats. what's next on healthcare on everything? is this -- is he going to continue to be lockstep with speaker ryan? or can we expect a new kind of president trump? i want everybody on this. phil: i think he wants to get to tax reform first. he's got this big infrastructure plan. he wants $1 trillion on roads. he wants those big agendas before returning to hale care. you can see him taking a different approach. the failure for this is not for lack of trying. he was the ultimate chess master and he just couldn't do it. >> i wonder if there comes a point where he just discovers with tax reform,

that was nancy pelosi calling fbi comey to set the record straight.times" reported -- they have declined to do so. mr. comey has remained silent on the issue. for fmore on this continuing story let' bringn the "harl" table. let go to franchesca, as you were there, comey wascying i have no evidence in this meeting with the fbi director that suggests there was request for president obama to use wiretapping to get to trump. >> she would not comments on that directly. however i asked if she see anything to lead her to believe that -- conducted on -- she told me obama would not do that and it could not possibly be true. >> here is what seems to be going on comey knows, but won't say because he doesn't want to lose his job. at that point there's no relationship between the president and fbi director. there's no relationship. >> he doesn't want to pick a public fight with the sitting president. >> everybody in the office -- would you rat him out. then you goes to -- will somebody do this so i don't have to do it and lose my job. is seems to be what's going o

i do think nancy pelosi is bizarre.nancy pelosi and you are of the democrats, it's in your best interest to keep the collusion part of this in the news. that's what you want people to be talking about. they don't want people to look at the other side of the coin, which is what i brought up in the earlier segment that this there is this other side of the coin, illegal leak of the information which is the only crime that has taken place. there is the unmasking of names, which is essentially what nunes and this information has brought forward. as kimberly stossel wrote in the "new york times," the -- or the "wall street journal," whoa, whoa, yeah, "wall street journal." wrote that the dems can't hide evidence that nunes is right and talking about how the white house did surveil the incoming administration. i do find that concerning especially as i mentioned today in the back drop of the "new york times" article talking about the fact that the obama administration basically left bread crumbs of intelligence. nbc came out wi

nancy pelosi is not going to assist. she's not going to come up with any type of solution whatsoever of a law that was written basically in her office back in 2009, 2010, that they pushed through of all the will of the american people and now it has fallen apart. she should say, listen, let's try to be part of a solution. but i think really, liz, when you look at this thing, it was meant to collapse about this time, 2017. if the democrats won the white house, then they could say obamacare's not working, we can move to a single pair. if it's the republicans in charge, now guess what? republicans are stuck trying to fix the thing that they knew was going to collapse. liz: and it's happening just as as you just said. the president in other news, welcoming iraqi prime minister to the white house today. will also host egyptian president for talks in washington on april 3rd. so, colonel, how will this impact the president's approach to the middle east, these meetings coming up? >> i think it's very important. one of the things

so nancy pelosi is in a really different position than she was even seven days ago. position where it's very likely if you came out, forget tax, forget infrastructure, just scan out one month ahead, end of april there's potentially a government shutdown crisis because you're going to see hard liners in the house freedom caucus hold leadership hostage over things like planned parenthood funding. so there is a possibility and leadership are nervous about this, that they have to go to the democrats to get the votes. so, she wants to block anything that's going to hurt obamacare. she says that she won't let anything done to hurt the obamacare insurance markets and she's going to use that leverage to the maximum effect. >> okay jonathan swan, thank you so much. >> interesting. >> yeah, super interesting. >>> the house and a tax writing committee -- the resolution would have required the treasury department to provide the house with ten years of returns. and debate grew heated on the house ways and means committee panel yesterday. check this out. >> it is our responsibilit

. >> democrats, including nancy pelosi, city g.o.p. plan is a cruel bill and it will increase the number of uninsured. the senate democratic leader also blasted it. >> no one likes this bill. hospitals, doctors, governors, conservatives, liberals, nonpartisan groups, and most of all, the people who will no longer have affordable health care. >> house speaker paul ryan used a powerpoint presentation to talk with the aspects conservatives should like in this legislation. ryan addressed conservatives who would love to do all of health care reform right now. >> naturally, people are saying, i would love to have this in there, i would love to have that in there. that is the legislative process. what people are learning is, this reconciliation tool is pretty tight. there is a lot of stuff we would love to put in the bill, unfortunately, senate rules don't allow us to do that. >> singh step three will be more legislation on capitol hill to completely redo health care. also tonight, a group of lawmakers are down the street at the white house f

he said, i demand an investigation of nancy pelosi. president donald trump blames democrats, saying they are trying to save face after losing the presidential election. the president found support today from the russian national minister. >> this resembles a witch hunt. >> reporter: the russian ambassador was also a frequent visitor to the white house during the obama administration. >>> thank you john. >>> a march in support of president donald trump is planned for tomorrow in berkeley. a group that calls itself march for trump plans to hold more than two dozen rallies and marching across the country, the mamp in berkeley is the only one planned for the bay area. the rally is set to begin at 2:00 and head to the uc berkeley campus, counter protests are planned as well. >>> should cyclists be arrived to make a full stop at a stop sign? or should be just have to slow down and look. two legislators have trying to legalize the rolling stop for bikes. >> reporter: they call it a wiggle. it's a bike route. but at its intersection, tensions
