times washington bureau chief michael and ruth marcus and jeff weaver. wow., based on reading this, president trump's goal is to prove, there's lots of things i said. if you give it time, they turn out to be correct. brexit, winning the election. is that what the president's goal is here? >> he feels he is not getting enough credit for the controversial thing that is have been disputed when he said them that have later come to be true. he feels he should get credit for that and therefore look at statements like barack obama wiretapped me at trump tower, which is false and give him credit. maybe in the investigation something will come out. the thing with 3 million undocumented immigrants voting illegally in the campaign. there's no evidence that happened. i was right about brexit and my own campaign and anthony weiner's e-mails were a problem for hillary clinton. give me time on this as well. >> jeff, this might be sensitive as well. he said the primary was rigged for hillary clinton. >> there were problems in the primary. the fact is, donald trump has a stra

we are it is joined by ruth marcus, columnist and deputy editorial page editor at the "washington posto'keefe covers politics for the post, kim i want to start with you. where do things stand on the american healthcare act? in congress? >> uncertain, but moving ahead. i think. look, what we are witnessing here is the return to old-fashioned politics, and nobody is used to this anymore, in that we had for six years opposition politics, republicans saying no to everything, the president largely ruling from his virtual white house this is a big fat, beautiful negotiation, and i think it is very important, you have ted cruz on, he said he wants to get to yes. this is from a guy who was part of the hell no brigade for years, so he wants to get there, the freedom caucus, you are having all of these negotiations. and at the same time, paul ryan is very ruthlessly marching this on a schedule through the house to try to impose some deadlines and i think we will get a lot more clarity this week when we possibly have a amendment that tries to fix some of the concerns of some of the conservatives.

. >> for more i'm joined by jonathan cape horn, opinion writer for "the washington post," ruth marcusmnist for "the washington post," and ned ryan. ned, how is he doing? objectively. >> let's get a little perspective here. remember the first term of the clintons. first 100 days. disaster. hillarycare. people getting fired out of the white house travel office. failed nominees. he got reelected. we're in the first 100 days. give it time. i'm thinking about the last couple weeks. i'm perplexed why we're not talking about the real scandal that was going on. was there a misuse of government surveillance? were there raw intelligence reports that made it into the hands of white house senior officials? my thing is i want to get to the bottom of this. i think you would talk to a lot of republicans that say let's get to the bottom of this. let's have mike flynn and everybody else go in front of these intelligence committees. but also let's pursue what actually happened. >> ruth, that's a line. it's a legitimate line. we hear it from sean spicer every day, the line that the real story here is le
