here's how budget director nick mulvaney explained that one. >> when you start looking at the placesll reduce spend, one of the questions we asked was can we really continue to ask a coal miner in west virginia or a single mom in detroit to pay for these programs? the answer was no. we could ask them to pay for the fence, and we will, but we can't ask them to continue to pay for the corporation for public broadcasting. >> do you think he has a point there? >> you know, 95 million americans a month watch public broadcasting in this country. whether nick mulvaney pays any attention to it, i don't know, but clearly for him to make those statements without knowing that. 200 million people. parents who have their kids watching "sesame street" where kids learn language and to speak. these are not casual cavalier programs. these aree good quality programming with people can get real news, real intelligent discussion. we need more of that in america. that's why you have people, senators, republicans like susan collins, lisa murkowski from alaska taking exception to mulvaney's attack on the n

i have actually delivered meals as part of that program and for nick mulvaney to imply that success evidence of or of accomplishment with some of these programs is astounding to me. i don't know what evidence he needs, whether he has to have people not die is not evidence and that's what we are seeing in programs like that. and similar comment about the community services block grant which funds liheap, $4 billion cut in this budget. liheap keeps people from freezing to death. and it's important in my district and most other districts. so those are some of the ones that i think are heartless and ignorant and one that is just plain stupid, and that is why in the world that we have some estimates $400 billion of owed but uncollected tax revenue, $400 billion of uncollected and owed tax revenue sitting out there, you cut money from i.r.s. which has been decimated. we need to give it the resources to collect the taxes that are owed. we don't benefit with $400 billion tting out there uncollected. i would respond to onether ing that director muscle veiny talked about yesterday that he couldn't ask

the individual who delivered it, nick mulvaney, the budget director coming out and making clear there was no more time. what they had proposed last night was on the table and what was going to move forward. this would repeal the essentially health benefits from obamacare. these are the types -- these are ten specific benefits that were required in all insurance plans, something that was the cornerstone of obamacare plans, something republicans wanted to get rid of. the reality is they still don't have the votes. what they're relying on is the president throwing out an ultimatum. and i'm told more than 30 members came to the microphone. 29 of them were talking in support of the bill, emotional stories, talking about pa pateeratism. again, there's work to do. one problem, there's no more work to be had. the negotiations, they're over, don. >> those are heart rendering stories there. sarah, what are you hearing from the white house. they're trying to portray an air of confidence, but what are we hearing? >> don, the president has said before it would bees easy to standby and let obamacar

nick mulvaney, making it clear there was no more time or proposals to be traded back and forth. proposal from last night was it. this that they were trying to get conservative members of the freedom caucus on board with, repeal the benefits from obamacare, ten specific benefits required, cornerstone of obamacare but republicans wanted to get rid of in large part. particularly the conservatives. that's the concession, that's it. here's the reality. still don't have the votes even coming out of that meeting. relying on the moemt momentum of the president making a clear stand and throwing out ultimatum. more than 30 members came to the microphone, 29 of them talking in support of the bill. emotional stories. talking about patriotism, this is what they ran on. hope is they can grab that, carry it over into tomorrow and get this passed but there's work to do. one problem, there's no more work to be had. negotiations are over don. >> but they answer to the constituents, not necessarily people in the room telling heart rendering stories. sara, the white house is trying to portray confi

nick mulvaney said they are approaching this budget the way you would a private corporation. does it make sense? do people want it? is it a good use of taxpayer money. it will go through the hill where it is expected to go through some substantial changes before it's voted on. melissa? >> melissa: thank you very much. meanwhile on capitol hill, all the buzz over big news on the health care front. the gop backed bill to replace obamacare narrowly advancing through the house budget committee. two top lawmakers also sounding off about the health care plan. chief congressional correspond anne mike emanuel is live from capitol hill. tell us first about reaction to the budget. >> reporter: good afternoon. typically lawmakers say thanks mr. president, but congress has the power, the purse. but today house speaker paul ryan praised the president and his team for outlining their priorities. >> end of the fiscal year we are at the cap level. so i don't see a big issue there. we just got the president's budget submission just this morning. this is the beginning of that step. what i'm en

there was more love shown to outside groups by this white house whether it's vice president pence, nick mulvaney, tom price, stephen bannon, myself. the point is, this group of people working the halls of congress, including the leadership in congress, i think it's time for our folks to come together, and i also think it's time to potentially get a few moderate democrats on board as well. >> chris: i will get to the democrats in a second. i want to talk about this obamacare, because the president and you this morning upset that obamacare is on its last legs. here's the president on friday. >> i've been saying for the last year and a half that the best thing we can do politically speaking is let obamacare explode, it is exploding right now. >> chris: mr. trump has also said he doesn't want to hurt the millions of people who depend on obamacare right now. the question is, will he do something, as he has promised with obamacare, will he do things to prop it up to stabilize it in the meantime, or is he just going to let it explode? >> reince: it will be a decision on the line mainly driven by acts o

according to gop sources i've been talking to, they have no idea when that ultimatum was delivered by nick mulvaney, the budget director. at the closed door meeting they didn't have the votes. when they walked out of the meeting, they still didn't have the votes. here is what's going on behind the scenes. i'm told ryan's top allies have been texting back and forth with a lot of the on the fence or leaning no members trying to make sure they understand what's in there, what's been added to the bill over the course of the 24 hours. there's also the president who is available and he's tweeting. take a look at this. he just tweeted the irony is the freedom caucus which is very pro life and against planned parenthood allows planned parenthood to continue if they stop this plan. an interesting element here, guy, up to this point, the private meetings wen the freedom caucus, the conservative group that hasn't been willing to come on board with this bill and the president, i'm told they've been very cordial, very positive, hasn't been arm twisting at all. apparently that's come to an end. what the presiden

well, the budget director, nick mulvaney, had this to say earlier. >> i have been in the room in the oval office with the president and with the speaker more in the last days than i have thought. i have never seen the president for a second try to blame paul ryan. >> so, robert, how does this kind of set the stage for the relationship between the president and the house speaker moving forward? >> well, let's understand, first a little bit of history when donald trump engaged in re cyst comments about a sitting federal judge over one of the lawsuits, speaker ryan called him out for class classic -- he felt that ryan paul didn't want to see him win. so it was not a healthy relationship going in. but now that the president has to engage in twitter rants where he's attacking other members of congress and promoting judge jeanine's television show where judge jeanine calls for paul ryan's removal, it is worth noting that while he's now saying he wasn't trying to do that, where is the text from donald trump, in fact, pointing out that he supports paul ryan and doesn't jeanine? >> well, the

. >> we have seen nick mulvaney out there talking about it. i think donald trump from a strategic standpoint is having smart not to talk out and be asked questions he can't necessarily answer, but going back to breitbart, very interesting is how much does steve bannon control that. >> pulling the strings. >> julia hahn wrote all of the angry breitbart articles and wrote that hillary clinton and paul ryan share views -- she's now in the white house working with steve bannon. >> why hasn't the president signed on to this bill? why hasn't he embraced this bill? then it took about what, four or five days for the white house to come out and say yeah, yeah, the president embraces this bill and paul ryan had to say it because i think there has been a debate. i know there has been a debate inside the white house about how much to embrace this bill. >> you called it an or fphan bi the other day. >> right. right now they're kind of stuck with it, stuck defending it and you have paul ryan thinking very differently about health care reform and they're kin

present working to -- >> it's one thing to be on the campaign trail and another to be president as nick mulvaney responded to those questions. >> we are asking the same questions, we really are? i know the man in the white house is capable of being the president. if anybody had any doubts of mr. trump coming to be president -- >> he's a big negotiator? >> people said he couldn't work with different groups within the party. no, what you saw this week were that things are more rotten in washington than we thought. >> all right. so david, i echo chuck todd's question. really? >> well, i -- he's now in charge. they have had seven years to prepare for this. and the obama team, they carefully prepared the ground ahead of them. >> a year. and it was a full-court press over a long period of time. and this was just a short, brief, two or three weeks, we're in, we're out. and let me ask doug this question, can the president afford to go to democrats and start trying to bring them into a coalition? does he alienate, totally alienate the freedom caucus and then find it is ungovernable? because democrats are

nick mulvaney will actually open up the briefing and talk and the president's proposed budget which hasased. in the meantime we're following developments including the second major defeat for the president on his travel plan and health care ban seemingly on life support and claim of the wiretapping, and the budget proposal that some are calling dead on arrival. also getting in breaking news very important breaking news from the senate intelligence committee. we're just learning that the select committee on intelligence chairman richard burr and mark warner made the following joint statement regarding evidence that trump tower in new york city was wiretapped during the 2016 election. let me read it. quote based on the information available to us, we see no indications that trump tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the united states government either before or after election day, 2016. i want to bring in our political director david chalian. all right. the president is being firmly rejected by the republican chairman, ranking democrat on the intelligence committee sayi

to the budget that the trump administration offered this week, here is budget director nick mulvaney. >> this administration tends to change course from a soft power budget to a hard power budget. >> chris: what he basically means by that is they will be the defense increases spending increases, they will be offsetting and sizable decreases in a lot of domestic discretionary programs. are you comfortable, and i want to talk about to go into specifics. what really gets down to is not big numbers, but specific programs. are you comfortable with cutting the national institutes of health by 20%, are you comfortable with cutting funding for meals on wheels, which supplies food, and seniors depend on it, to 2.5 million elderly americans? >> speaker ryan: i was a is the very beginning of the budget process, a process i have worked with for many years. they submitted their budget, it will go through the congressional system. what typically happens as a president submits their budget and congress takes it from there and make necessary changes to that budget going forward. we are seeing an incr

. >> there we have budget director nick mulvaney explaining why the gop's new health care bill will stop medicaid expansion put into place by president obama's affordable care act. joining me is michigan congressman dan kildee and a member of the financial services committee. good to have you with me. how do you respond to mulvaney there? >> i understand in theory what he's saying, but it doesn't make sense. it does save mono pep it doesn't save money for the people who lose their health care. i mean, if they're so interested in saving money why is it they're making huge tax breaks for insurance ceos? i mean, maybe if they were paid less they would be more efficient? it just doesn't make sense. we have to be clear about this. this is a huge tax break given to the wealthiest americans, to the richest people, to insurance executives and it's a loss of coverage. people will pay more for less under trumpcare, and we shouldn't try to pretend or disguise it as anything else than that. this is a huge transfer of wealth from hardworking people to the people at the very top. >> we heard from spea

. >> dana: i want you to listen to nick mulvaney who knows a lot about the house freedom caucus.a listen to this then i'll get your reaction. >> reports from "the new york times" is that the president should have done tax reform first. >> i have been with the president the last couple days. i can assure you that conversation has never come up. we promised to do this first. today is the chance. >> and if you fail here, isn't it going to be that much harder to get tax reform done because you won't that v that almost $900 billion in revenue that you're getting from this bill? >> george, i have heard that. tax reform will have to lower the deficit on its own. tax reform will stand on its own two feet. >> dana: phil, what do you make of the suggestion that they're looking back saying we should have done tax reform first? from the way i understand it, you needed health reform first. what do you think? >> yeah. big advantage of doing this sequence is that the tax cuts in the healthcare bill are paid for with spending cut. in the tax reform bill, the tax will be paid for by closing looph

we do know the chief nick mulvaney will be out to talk about some to have numbers that critics points to as being unrealistic, but first specifically on wiretapping we have heard from the ranking senate intel committees chairman burr and vice chairman mark warner, let me quote, based on the information available to us we see no indications that trump tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the united states government either before or after election day 2016. let me add to that over on the house side we heard from manu raju in his interview on the rank member adam schiff has had conversations with the fbi chief jim comey and met in closed door sessions and ultimately said he will echo the same sentiments, but quite simply that president trump was not wiretapped by president obama. all of that said, let's go to our man there in the briefing room jim acosta our senior white house correspondence and may i first ask, they're late. where is sean spicer? >> well, we just got the two-minute warning. >> there you go. >> reporter: in the last couple minutes. we should point out

price is the former chairman of the house budget committee and the director of management budget, nick mulvaney is one of my coaches on the congressional baseball team and a key member of the house when he was in the house. those presidents used to the extent they have experienced and have it on the senate side. in this case, again the vice president who i didn't mention cover some of their key people are house members so we have a lot of interaction, which i think speaks well for the endgame they know the rhythm of the house in the mood. and the president will be able to intervene in a way that has her resolve. >> cassaday, to ask a question? >> the president what the campaign trail that he would continue to cover folks with the same number of folks. preexisting conditions without mandates at a lower cost. that's what he got elected on and repeatedly after being elected. the president is committed to the forgotten american. the folks i've suffered over the last eight years and an economy which does not work for them. if he stays true to those from the u.s.a. will politically. i'm hoping the pr

but we're also told that nick mulvaney, the budget director said that president trump wants a vote tomorrowotiating. this is where he wants to go from here. >> using a military term for range or effect? they want to find out how many votes they need to work on those people over the weekend? >> reporter: it sounds like at this point the president wants them to go forward with this. obviously the president isn't the speaker of the house, so it doesn't technically decide any of this. so he could be putting paul ryan, the speaker, in a pretty difficult position, if they do not have the votes. it sounds like trump is tick of the back and forth and wants us to move forward, chris. >> so you think foreman morning looks good right now? >> it seems as though the pressure is certainly on for that. we will look and see what kind of a policy change will be concluded. i think it will continue. i think what speaker ryan has to say will tell us the most about all of this. >> casey hunt on the job there, casey hunt. thank you, congressman, one last thought, is he still there? will you voight for this attor

. >> nick mulvaney, the office of management and budget was asked about both the community developmentck program and also about meemz on wheels. he said basically there's no provable results, it has not been proven any of these programs work, that meals on wheels sounds great, but how do we know that any of these programs work. >> i mean, there's reports out there that do point to it. stanford has produced reports that have shown that our meal services, by having that social contact, that daily check, we're helping these seniors to reduce their fall risk. about 85% of our clients have reported less falls. and to equate that from a health care perspective, that could save the health care industry over $31 billion a year. >> all right, alison -- go ahead. >> it's pretty significant. additionally, the k069 for our services one year costs less than one day in the hospital. nutrition is health. the more nutrition you can provide someone, the healthier they're going to be. or they're going to respond better to their treatment. >> alison foreman from michigan, where there are a lot of those f

nick mulvaney head of the omb come by and meet with us, we're going to push for an open bid process sos you're pushing for can be added. i see this, again, as an opening bid and the tug of war that goes with the world of politics. >> you think he's rushing it? >> yeah. i mean, what you don't want to do in a bill, in a measure that's this big that impacts people to the degree it does is rush something through. i've had six town hall meetings the last three weekends at home and i've heard from a lot of people. once health care is vital, it's in some cases life and death, it's something people feel very, very strongly about. so, i think that from a consumer standpoint, hearing directly from people is part of the equation and from a policy standpoint, fully vetting the bill in terms of what it cost, implications, i think it was equally important and that takes time. >> congressman, so, be honest with me. what are you hearing from people that's making you hesitant about what's in this bill? >> well, you know, i think that there are many different vantage points to that question. so, i think

that said, there was still a house freedom caucus meeting that was scheduled with tom price and nick mulvaney. they allowed that to happen after it was clear after the meeting there would be no movement with the conservatives, the house freedom caucus members. the call was made. president trump called the speaker and told him clearly it was time to pull the bill and that is exactly what happened and the ramifications of that aren't just micro, not just this week or this bill. they are health care, period. obamacare stands not just for now, not just for the next couple months butter for the foreseeable future. >> a lot of republicans talked about if this goes down maybe kind of go piecemeal, piece by piece, try to do this in smaller chunks than all at once but is the president saying he'll just move on to tax reform and dropping health care completely until obamacare, in his words, implodes? >> reporter: all together. in a closed door conference meeting this afternoon after the decision was made to pull the bill, that was the message, direct message from speaker ryan, trump is done, the presid

before all of that unfolded we saw nick mulvaney, the director of the office of management and budget walk reporters through the next fiscal year budget that this white house is putting out. it's been described as dead on arrival up on capitol hill, but yet they still want to explain that to the press and the public. meanwhile you have a health care bill that is being talked about up on capitol hill among house republicans that this president has embraced that is really going nowhere at this point. it may not pass the house. it is unlikely to pass the senate. so they have to go to the drawing board on that and you have a travel ban, second attempt that the travel ban the president has attempted is tied up in the courts again. you look all around them, when people in the white house look all around them, all they can see at this point are initiatives and bills and pursuits that have just fallen flat in the first 56 days of this administration. and compounding the problems that this white house is experiencing is the president keeps making these unfounded claims via twitter and otherwis
