that we're going to do. and then i establish an investment portfolio. developing the next technologies that you're going to need to achieve those incredible, challenging missions, and making sure we have all of that mapped out in time to do the missions that we're envisioning for the future. so, all technology development and research and development. >> you're a visionary. >> i am. >> dr. gnagaraja? >> i started off being the worker bee, taking her visions and making them into something, so instrument technology, operating mission control, so making sure astronauts in space are safe. and now i get to do communications, so i'm in the business of being able to take these wonderful things that nasa's doing and put them in a way so that people care about it, so they'll listen to us, they'll hear what we're what we're doing. >> and i think i read that you used to train shuttle and space -- >> i did. >> -- astronauts? >> yeah, i did. one of the coolest things i've ever gotten to do. the little 5-year-old girl in m

and to explain what they needed to do. to create an arrangement which is interesting in and of itself that would have been charged the bad jackie to keep track of the customers' bad behavior even if it is not your fault you made be kicked out of your bank account and then you cannot get another account for a couple years so they say i cannot pay that today's so what do we do? so we say sorry we need a $20 the teller said of course, not so that is the good example without being penalized so do uc to create opportunity spinet there has been such a change the guy who hired me said by way of illustration banks want one customer with a million-dollar is inject cash schurz want a million customers with $1 nobody can argue with that like every other profit seeking corporation the question is if they are ethical is a the process because they have a critical role should be held to a different sets of rules. a do think it is an opportunity for the alternative and other businesses to solve the problem in another way. and to some exten

i have a lot to do today. we have a couple hearings and a lot of folks that want to talk about infrastructure. so thank you all for having me here. thanks for being here. secretary richards, i'll see you soon. sooner than you may want me to be. thank you all very much. appreciate it. [ applause ] >>> sunday night on q&a. >> nationalists were rising up. so the big strategic question that the u.s. faced was should it support britain against rising nationalizes are create a new order by immediateiating wean the nationalists. >> ike's gamble about the 1956 suez crisis and its aftermath. >> what he's trying to present is the soviet union coming in aligning with the nationalists, undermining the british and taking control of the oil in the middle east. we care about the oil because it was 100% of european oil that's correct from t-- that came from middle east. at least keep the soviet union out. that's the goal. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span's q&a. >>> c-span's washington journal live every day with news

you're are going to do this and then this. so, i do not know what will come out of the investigation other than our goal is to -- if there is accountability to be had, we will make that kind ability. you expectear, do there to be women on the task force? gen. neller: i expect there to be. there are a number of female officers have been part and parcel to all the discussions we have had about the statements. they have been very helpful to me to help me frame the bigger situation. marines to sent 400 syria. can you talk about what kind of impact these alleged actions by these other marines could have on them? how this could be used as propaganda in the fight against isis? gen. neller: i am not going to talk about ongoing operations. i am pretty confident those marines are focused on what their mission is. onanything, they are focused doing what they need to do, what their mission is. as far as any other organization in today's world, anytime someone has issues there is someone who is willing to step up and use it as a way to degr

and would want to be doing. one of the ways that concerns about legislation are being answered by its champions is to say there is one phase, more to come, more legislation, more regulatory action that would try to fill in some of the gaps and what can be done through reconciliation or done in this bill. tell us specifically what that might look like. what would you be doing when it comes to regulatory changes, administrative changes, if the legislation that is now going through congress would pass to build on what it would do. >> this is an area where i'll kind of lay out the 30,000 foot view, but it is important that we not get too specific because as i mentioned, we want to do this in a legal and constitutional way and as you and your -- the folks here and those who might view this understand and appreciate, rules and regulations, new rules and regulations require an administrative procedure act process in order to enact them, so it requires publication of the proposed rule, a period of time where the public i

it's important to do it. we're going to pay for that by cutting other things and not just ballooning the deficit. that message is loud and clear. >> neil: the option for the state department cutting wasn't enough to compensate for that increase. that option is taken off the table. where else could you go? i know the epa was mentioned. even that would raise a fraction of the money you're adding to defense. >> this was just a start. it's a start of the process. what is important is the message. the message is the president wants to spend more on military, make our military competitive and pay for that by cutting other areas. like any discussion or negotiation, we'll work through the numbers. what is important is the message and we'll work with congress to figure out how it's funded. >> neil: the defense thing is curious. in two phone calls, he was able to shave significant sums, hundreds of millions, maybe billions over the years between the air force one contract and a jet fighter contract. that was what he was

what you need to do. and kids see this, they have a right to this education. you have no right to a college education, what is the part of the constitution that says, you have a right to four years. i mean, no! you have to work for it and i think that kids need to be told that because they're not going to get it, you know, in high school. that's for darned sure. >> about obamacare, what's your take on it so far? doesn't look terribly encouraging yet, what do you think is going to happen? >> well, i'm desperately trying to find out for our network, i tell you, i spend a lot of time on the phone with congressmen and experts trying to figure out exactly how the g.o.p. is going to try to change this, tweak this. it currently is in freefall. the amounts of money being charged for obamacare coverage are through the roof. i've had many people, individuals on our air that i found myself who talk about how expensive it is, can't afford it. people are going without coverage and it happens to be the very people who

we don't need to hype this up, do we? you know the vote on the health care bill is supposed to be happening, historic vote today. it could begin, as katy said, in a matter of minutes or not. do republicans have the votes? the message from the white house, it's now or never, so hold on tight. before we get the latest from our team of reporters on the ground, let me get you caught up on the latest changes we know of to the gop bill. this is important. people who make more than $200,000 a year will still have to pay a medicare tax. it's being extended for the next six years instead of eliminated. the money the government makes on that, about $15 billion, goes to the states and could be iced to pay for maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance abuse. those are changes aimed at pleasing moderates in the house. finally, obamacare requires insurance companies to provide certain health benefits. now that requirement goes away and it's up to individual states to make those rules starting in 2018. that was a change mea

they commit a tremendous amount of resources to do that. want to drink clearwater and breathe clean air. it employs are in those places. why don't we start from a place that they don't, whether it's from the state or industry. i don't want to be too general here that i think a lot is just attitude. attitude goes a long way to how we approach these issues. if we start from a standpoint of saying we can achieve both come how do we work together can let set up a process to achieve both pick you mentioned earlier about congress not speaking. regulatory agencies and executive branch have not been very mindful of the process requirement that a been placed upon them by congress. the administrator procedures axis as you do a rule, comment. why? because you want if of people. you want to sit how this impacts across the country there's an obligation for the agency to take this, and respond to them. and then finalize it will. that's been disregarded a lot of late. it is process tickets attitude, process and notably partnership to achieve these things.

we went out of our way to avoid doing that. and so i think if you... you know? ow rocks at them. it is difficult to come back from that. was to four-year? i rely on legality. i am convinced that we did things in a way that did not produce permanent harm, mentally or physically. that is my obligation when i do get. i don't have any control over how people do it. you said you wondered about whether you should actually carry out these things that it would change your life as you knew it. do you regret going down that path? well, the only thing that i actually regret is that in doing that, you know, i am not likely to be a college professor, you know, iam not likely to be a college professor, you know, i am not still doing consultation for some of the things i was involved in, i would, to the extent that having done those things sort of blackballed me from doing other stuff, i had regrets about that. but no regrets about doing it. because i do not think you need to be ashamed of trying to save american lives. i travel quite a bit in the us. and i have not personally

frsh. >> one thing is jim knows i love to do, and back in delware, love to do customer calls. go visit businesses all the time. how re doing, what can we do to help? and the -- i love to go to schools and i -- specially enjoy town hall meetings with kids. a lot more pressurable than pleasurable than the town hall meetings of our republican colleagues and i even like little kids. third, fourth, fifth graders unup to college. every now and then a kid will -- in q & a they'll say like what do you do? and i say i'm a united states senator. and she said, what do you do? i said, you have school rules on your school bus and rules at home and i said we have rules for the country, laws and senators and representatives, i get to help make the rules for the country. one little boy in the room that they -- raised his hand and said what else do you do? and i said, well, i try to help people. i try to help people who believe in the golden rule, treat other people be they we wanted to be treated and i help people. he said how? i told all of you -- one of the best ways to help people is make s

they have jobs to do even if it's uncomfortable. it's important for those in the legislative branch or the executive branch or those going into the executive branch to have good relationships with the diplomats here in washington. >> you are demanding that they to close the nature of their relationship. >> i meet with diplomats all the time and i don't disclose what i talk about with diplomats. i think any speculation, i guess the heart of your question, i know there's a tendency for you to believe that there's some grand conspiracy that the russians helped elect donald trump. we have an investigation going and we won't prejudge anything. i hope that the media doesn't prejudge either. >> i haven't seen the transcript but i'm aware of what's in some or most of it. >> general flynn served this country for three decades. he did a great job. from everything i can see his conversations with the russian ambassador, he was doing this country a favor. >> you said you were going to prejudge the investigation. >> i don't know about all of your

you want to do these different things? elaine jones: that is a great question and an important question. it is one of the things that motivates me. don't do it because it has been done that way. find a different way to do it. people have been told to do it that way because it is the right way. elaine jones: but we are result oriented. if we don't push what it is trying to get, try another way. it might be something out of the box. , i think myce corps , iting up in my time and was warm and wonderful but all african-american. college was predominantly african-american. the african-american experience was a part of me and i knew it and it was part of it and i was rooted in it. that i knew that there was a bigger world. function, youo have to be exposed to it. the earlier, the better. gov. hutchinson: i think my my father traveling had an impact on me. the world knew that was not an african-american world. and i said, you have to be exposed to whites in america. you have to. if you want to function in the larger society. the s

and told the states what to do. what the cassidy/collins plan does is returns it to the state to let them decide the future of their plan. if we had taken cassidy/collins, this would already be off our plate and back at the state capitols for them to decide with guidelines that the federal government would say to you. on the other hand, it wouldn't be a big policy debate up in d.c. because the powerful debate would be in the state capitol. that's where the american people want it. that's where it should be. >> how do you restart this health care conversation? do you need to sort of change the politics of it? is repeal and replace because of what happened today in the house, because the words have no meaning anymore? so you have to sort of -- you know what i mean, you have to say, okay, let's repair the system. >> first, let's just be honest, when the democrats are yelling and screaming and isn't this great that this went down, what the consequence of this going down is is that people are still going to be seeing esca

and we're prepared to do that. and we've been given a task to go to the president with options to accelerate, accelerate the defeat of isis, specifically, but obviously, other violent extremist groups as well, and so we will go to him with a full range of options from which he can choose. >> that includes more u.s. troop sns. >> i will go to the president with options. >> over to the first row here. to the woman in purple. >> thank you. i'm a social anthropologist by trade, so i'm going to ask a very different question. i'm going to give you a challenge. which is apple computer has the best saying, which is if you don't know ask, we all learn together. i came to the pent fwon 40 years again, asking a question shows your ignorance. i think we have to reward curiosity, but you are going to have to give people permission. so if you were to send out a message to all of the defense department saying i want you to put on the wall of every room that wone f you don't know ask, we all learn together, u you would change the b

the point is that the president needs to look, do i want to win and do i want to be seen as a pragmatist i want to run as an effective president. i think this president does. here's one thing we know about this president. he's very competitive. what he did was he listened very artfully to speaker ryan when speaker ryan said, we need to go with health care first then we pivot to tax return. he listened to the speaker and obviously the speaker didn't come up with a win there. i think this president's going to go right to his instincts. how do i figure this out that gets me on the right side with the american people? >> alex, is there a way to sort of bring some of these competing factions together or alt tern actively use that in the way he used them in business, which is just sort of, you know, pit them against each other and hopefully the best ideas rise to the top? >> if history's any guide that's what he's going to continue to do in his businesses. he's got a really tough task here. they're thinking about their own primaries back home, they're own reelection bids. he's got a tough task

to me. ok they are doing it. why? that anyone feels they are going to make themselves feel better by being degrading about any individual, whether it be based on their gender or the race or their sexual preference? if they are indeed a marine, or anybody, it doesn't matter, that's not who we are and what we do. s'r folks now and with nci help, we go through the legal process and go to the provider to ask them to take it down. can give you more information. there are other sites out there. 2.0 is not -- marines just one. again, some of them are legit and they do good or proper things for veterans or anybody who belongs. others -- not so much, not at all. sen. mccain: sen. sullivan. i would suggest, general, they are also the suspect and you could sen. mccain,' . sen. mccain: the german's time has expired. -- the gentleman's time has expired. please proceed. what i wanted to say is they are basically challenging you, general. they are thinking that they can get away with this. you are the commandant of the corps. and i t

you want to say to the world? how doou want to be used and not have the tv use you? david: what drives you to keep working so hard? you and i are in the 60's category, and you have lived more than you will live. when you realized you have lived more than you're going to live, why not relax a little bit, ease up? why have you decided to work harder than ever before? oprah: the thing that works for me all these years, whether the magazine, which i still have, or whether it was the show, i understood that there is a common denominator in human experience, and i want the same thing you want, which is the same thing you want and you want. what we all want is to be able to live out the truest, highest expression of ourselves as a human being. that does not end until you take your last breath. what is the truest, highest, vision you hold for yourself? no matter where you are, there is always the next level to the last breath, so i feel i always knew i would be done with the show when i felt i said as much as i could say here on

>> nothing to do this weekend. "new york times" reporter jeremy peters here and former treasury official and "morning joe" economic analyst steve rattner with us as well. nothing happened while i was gone. maybe you want to explain it all. >> i can't explain it all. for the republicans, it's better to be lucky than good. it doesn't matter why that bill failed, that bill needed to fail. >> a bad bill. >> horrific. they didn't explain it. they took 24 million people off insurance rolls, instead of explaining some of those people would have chosen not to get insurance but they never explained anything. it was the stupidest setup. the white house if they should be kicking themselves for any reason, they should be kicking themselves for actually listening to the house and not doing what they thought first. >> exactly right, saving themselves. republicans criticizes democrats forever for jamming it through in the dead of night and not taking long enough when they took years to get it through. they did exactly the same thi

you don't have to do it today, you don't have to do it this month but you have to do it before the nextn and you better get it right. that's what they need to focus on. >> eric: a couple of deadlines tomorrow, a health care vote and we also have katherine harris telling us tomorrow is the deadline for some of the information around the wiretap issue, setting up for a busy news day tomorrow. >> it is, i've come to the conclusion that it's probably necessary to get an independent counsel to do investigations of both the previous administration. the trump administration is nothing to worry about in terms of investigating, did they have any collisions with the russians? i think the answer is an emphatic no. i do think there is a lot of smoke and likely fire, everything points to the fact that there was illegal surveillance going on with private citizens, the biggest question is who in the heck ought to be criminally prosecuted for letting that information out? and somebody should do. >> eric: more tomorrow, you want to talk about the national endowment for the arts and some of the funding t

to regulate nightlife. if you do not know that i think i've said this before. this is real. this is sort of the outgrowth of all that that everyone wants san francisco to sit alongside all these world-class cities to say this is how we do it what we do and everyone should take a look at how we do it. it's nothing is perfect obviously. there are some things we can do better but that's why i go to these things and the tenements of that we can get even better but we are pretty much thought leaders in this nightlife space. so congratulations. to get better, the next item is to ask you to look in your calendars because there's enough new commissioners come i think in one very new omission or that we need to put a retreat on the books. to review obviously code and our processes and you been to these before some of you. but i need to know when you are available. so if you want to look at your calendars now or you want to send me an e-mail, i don't make a big mess as this but we need to pick. typically we do this on a half d

that's what we're going to try to do everywhere. because our most important area of agreement, and we have many, is that we need to redefine the mission of the democratic party. >> that's right. >> it's not simply to elect the president. we need to be electing folks from the school board to the senate and i'm not just talking about the u.s. senate. the state senate race last week is the exact example of what we need to do at scale and we're going to swing the bat. today, there was another special election in connecticut and i believe the democrats won there. so we're making progress but -- >> we believe that we ought to fill every single seat across america with a democrat. no more free passes for the republicans. but we've got to ask people to run. we've got to train them. we've got to encourage them. let them know that they're going to have the support. that's our mission. to train, recruit and make sure we're competing everywhere, all the time in every seat. >> new leadership, tom perez, keith ellison, thank you for being with us

i would try to do that. they're not supposed to be doing it, you know, under the terms of the security council resolution as it is. it's not like we're in the wrong. so i think they -- you know, it's true, you have to think through every move you make. that was the point i was making before. but it's also true that if you -- if every time you're afraid that when they engage in behaviors they shouldn't be engaging in, that you can't do anything, that message is pretty clear to them, too. and, you know, the -- it's not like their involvement in some of the places in the region are so popular with the iranian public. you know, the fact that they spent a lot of money on the outside is not something that is so welcome at home. i would do a lot more to shine a spotlight on that and also expose it, so their public would be aware of that. that, you know, when i say raise the price, there's different ways to raise the price. including, by the way, shining a spotlight on it. >> shining spotlights, one might add that ir

i can't do that to myself. i can't even do it to her. be her friend, though, and i'll always be there for her. but as par as being her man and all that, no, i can't do that >> oh, man. i love jake. >> i've got a new girl. that's a different type of girl, like one that i should keep and be nice to. so i'm trying like to learn to be right, you know, because i really don't know. >> whether she is with cowin or not, mcbride will soon leave jail and must again attempt to control her drug addiction in order to raise her two children. >> you're going to have a seat at the usual chair to your left. >> her case manager has known her for two years, a span in which mcbride has been in and out of santa rita on various parole violations. >> miss mcbride has come into custody each time a different persona, a different host of problems, a different level of motivation. and how long that motivation is sustained is questionable. >> in order to take advantage of re-entry services offered by the county, mcbride must commit to a residential drug treatment pr

but what do you think it takes to be a successful vc? do you need to have a stem degree? ow some of your top partners don't. do you need to have been a founder, do you need to have been a ceo? vinod: you don't need to have a stem degree. it helps. because you are dealing with technology and speaking their language, so it does help. it makes it easier. but probably, and this is not even essential, the most important requirement is having been an entrepreneur. emily: is that why it is so hard to find women to fill these roles? vinod: i think there are fewer women who have been entrepreneurs, so i think as women play more of an entrepreneurial role, and that is increasing. and we have many, many entrepreneurs who are women, even in a really deeply technical area, they, when they get enough experience, they will be great partners. but you need the floor at the bottom to increase. we need to encourage more women to be entrepreneurs. emily: you mentioned you have a broad range of investments. rockets, food, ai, health, finance, energy. companies with a usually high failure rate.

the president has to do what he's doing. 's talking gently to them through twitter, he's going to stadium events, he's going to have ten or 12 vulnerable seat states. they have freed up for dinner, he might have chuck schumer over for dinner. they're going to talk about this. this may pass, it might not be in the exact form it is today and those in the right and left her going have to do with it a little bit. the mandates will be gone. >> melissa: we are hearing about the bullying and the pizz pizza. when donald trump get you one on one, he's very charming. is it possible that he could do something in terms of getting people to come together and say this is the one thing we need. is that possible? >> i think they can get a belt narrowly through the house. the senate is going to be very tough, but i believe that you governed with a broader mandate than just narrow majorities. that was obama's mistake. if trump doesn't do a bipartisan deal, they'll be a mistake as well. >> melissa: do you think he can get both sides to come tog

to pick it apart. what i doow, the easiest way to make tax reform fail is to not go bold, to not try to leapfrog america from 31st in the world back into that top three are better positioned so we can compete and win anywhere in the world, especially here at home. maria: said the priorities or what? you want to get the corporate tax rate down and you want to simplify to three brackets. go through where your priorities are for tax reform. >> so, priorities are growth, designing a coat that built to punish people or bring money from them, but to grow jobs, wages in the u.s. economy. we want to leapfrog america from dead last among global competitors and keep us there. and we wanted tax code so fair and will that nine out of 10 americans can file use in a postcard style symptom system. we decided once in a generation we get this opportunity. we can't go mediocre. he can shoot middle of the pack. that is why these provisions we are recommending recognize our competitors are beating us today. these are big changes in

we're going to do two things. we're going to explain to the world what russia does to try to break the back benn of democracy including ours. we're going to make a case why they should be sanctioned. as to trump-russia campaign ties. i have no evidence personally that there are any, but i will insist that the f.b.i. be given full opportunity to look into this without political interference. [applause] ok, next question. >> this question is from emily chandler. mily would you stand up? sen. graham: did you need anything -- need anything else? you're good? ok, who is this? >> this is from emily chandler. sen. graham: emily, where are you at, emily? hey, hemly. >> her question is, given the 2016 south carolina presidential election results, what are your plans to ensure all donald trump's policies and agendas are implemented. sen. graham: here's what i'm going to do, i'm going to try to help our president, donald trump, be as successful as possible, number one because i agree with him mostly and i'd like to get this c

the person we want information to stop operations. "we know you dont to talk about. and so the point would not be to tell them where we wanted them to go. there was the senate intelligence committee report, of course, into the practices of... yes. i want to pick up on that, chaired by the democratic senator, dianne. she said this is a stain on our values. do you not have sympathy with that? what you said was authorised and approved, but nevertheless it was a stain. i have sympathy for it. but i reject the idea that it is a stain. you have to understand... we are talking about a matter of days with the use of eits. one of the ways i think about this is that we do, as do other countries, drone strikes. when we do a drone strike, we send a cruise missile or a hellfire missile into a family and kill the grandmother, we kill the kids, we kill the neighbours, whoever happens to be around this place. that is not a stain? in my mind, questioning someone, even with some temporary discomfort, where you do not harm them, and then you go out and capture these ot

i'd like to see them do more. and i'd like to see other companies like the internet of things companies really take some big steps. >> overall, this latest wikileaks release, what will be the overall impast on silicon valley companies? >> i hope it will make them continue their efforts and step up their efforts to make more secure tools. i also hope that they will work with us to try to get the cia and the government in general to stand more on the side of making us all safe rather than making sure that they can get into every device that we have. offense matters. defense matters more for all the rest of us. either our tools, they're in our homes and they need to be made secure. that should be the priority. >> cindy cohen, thank you. >> thank you. >>> whether it's a used couch or room for rernt, craigslist was one of the internet marketplaces. now focusing on journalism. last week his foundation gave $1 million to support the investigative work of a company, and given money to the pointer institute as well as kqed

we can do get the result we will bring it to a soon as we can hear do get the result we will bring it to a soon as we can hear on the bbc news channel but now it is time for sports day. hello, i'm olly foster, these are our sportsday headlines this evening. sir dave brailsford admits that mistakes have been made at team sky but says they are a clean team and doping allegations are false. iamat i am at the emirates for arsenal will have to make champions league history to beat bayern munich to a place in the quarterfinals. and five medals in five olympics. katherine grainger receives her damehood from the queen. we will be back at the lawrence when we get that vote. good evening last week, british cycling reached an all time low. they apologised for failings as the organisation was accused of a culture of bullying and discrimination, and also accepting serious failings in their medical record keeping that has hampered a uk anti—doping investiagtion into allegations of wrongdoing. today, the head of team sky, sir dave brailsford has attempted to end the specualtion about the nature of t

and i know we're not supposed to do that. ool you tell children you have to find common ground. sorry, no common ground. >> how do you reconcile yourself to where we are. not in terms of accepting it or going along with it but in terms of how you process this day-to-day? i saw the other day, a joke something like i'm just waiting for some day when i wake up and it scares the heck out of me. i'm trying to clean it up for pbs. but how are you navigating everyday? >> well, "saturday night live" has been a great elixir. that's a real rallying cry for us to say this something we never thought we would see in our lifetime. i have two daughters who i'm very proud of. francis north carolina school of art a ballerina dancer. she went to hillary and she has been in protests. my mary louisa, 14 in pasadena, liberal k liberal-minded human rights blessed women in pasadena. and they have been very, very active about it p and you just realize, i turned 60. i'm 61 now. but i thought rest of my days after president obama was going to be, you k

the east germans used to do this. i assume the russians do it. think the trump people got involved in it that way? i'm trying to be nice here. did they get suckered into this thing? >> yeah, but this whole argument is sort of ridiculous because -- >> no, it's not. i'm telling you how it works. >> but we know the russians tried to intervene, but they failed. the only thing that really came out is that the clinton campaign colluded with the dnc to game the system against bernie sanders. if the clinton campaign wouldn't have done that, there wouldn't have been anything for the russians to have leaked. >> i mean among the things that they did was, you know, was for three solid weeks have news be dominated that was about the context of john podesta's e-mails. so they did -- >> making unkind comments about the candidate. they had a lot of stuff. that was to create disruption. >> it just every day blocked out the sun. every day that is what we were dealing with. but, again, we're even now getting deflected by, like, the details what occurred on the campa

do. >> welcome back to "the 11th hour." former vice president joe biden back on the hill today to talk health care. took a few questions as you saw on the president's wiretap claims. but the question remains, what will be the political fallout from just today's news and developments? eli stokols remains here with us in the studio. and with us from washington, "washington post" white house reporter ashley parker. and pulitzer prize winning columnist eugene robinson. welcome to you all. ashley, i've been so anxious to get you on the record. what does today feel like at the white house? what did these developments today feel like at the white house? and i should tell you, fox news tonight is running a graphic under their conversation that says, "trump surveillance confirmed." was the entire nunes visit in service to donald trump's tweets alleging specifically illegal wiretaps by a former president? >> well, we've sort of described this process in general of donald trump sort of tweeting something out or making a statement that

we need to do that. we need to do that very thing. we need to get back to the table and get people negotiating. as a whole lot of people said the other day, as paul ryan himself said when this bill was going down the tubes. he said we came so close and he's right. they were not far away from a deal. they could have gotten a deal. there were a few things that could have added to the bill to vote for it so that it would have passed. this is part of the legislative process and the process has to be allowed to play itself out and devoting 17 legislative days to a bill and then walking away from it because it hasn't passed within 17 legislative days makes no sense especially when this is something that we've been campaigning on for seven years and the american people are hurting. hardwog are unable to afford health care because of this bill. we've got to fix that or we've got to repeal it. >> now that we have the two of you that represent the ideological polls of the republican party. i want to ask you both whether you agree with the follo

that's a cheap easy way to do it and know how to do it. idea gained support from republican lawmakers who sponsored the bill to switch the special election to replace ryan zinke to a vote by mail election. fiscally conservative plan. that's good. because both the house and senate in montana are controlled by republicans. but opposition from an unlikely source. m m montana's republican leadership, meaning the chairmen of the party, last week as this bill for a mail-in election gned steam, the republican party chairman blasted this out. "a mail ballots give the democrats an inherent advantage. vote by mail was designed to increase participation rates of lower propensity voters. they may be well intended but this bill could be the death of our effort to make montana a reliably republican state." so the state party chairman is saying we can't vote by mail, too many people will vote. that will make it too likely that a democrat might win that election. nevertheless, the republican bill to make it a vote-by-mail election, it passed the state sen

it's only the people who they authorize to do it. there are probably up to 2,000 people who can access the unmasked data. that includes service -- >> one had the feeling -- >> also computer programmers. lou: one had the feeling that admiral rogers was being within the painted lines on that, but the intelligence community, you're looking at 17 agencies, good lord, we have no idea how many people were doing that, nor do we have even a clear instinct. some at least insight because of what was released to the intelligence committee chairman that the president's instincts or information whether or not he and the rest of his team were being surveilled was pretty good. william binney, thanks so much. >> thanks for being with you. good to be with you. lou: you got it. thank you. coming right back, a lot more to cover what has been truly a historic news day. stay with us. we'll be right back.. >> the trump administration says now is the time to repeal and replace obamacare. >> if you want to see obamacare repealed and replaced, this is the vot

we had to do a lot of explaining. and now we have folks knocking on our doors and saying, hey we would like to provide your cca service, which say much better place to be. we are seeing expanding cch community readiness within regulatory and legislative environment to really push on these key issues like the power charge and difference adjustment. and we have been at the forefront of organizing a trade association, among the operating ccas and the local government communities that are interested in embarking on a cca. and in fact, i am the president of the trade association. we have done a lot of work this past couple of months. educating legislators, and engaging with the california puc commissioners and we had two new commissioners come on in january, and so we have what i would characterize as meet and greet, opportunity tlz that we took advantage of, and really helping to emphasize for them, that we are sort of the new kids in town, as a cca community and the electric sector, but we have a lot of work to do with th

i think what we have to do with technology. ng technology has done now has benefited businesses because they have a lot of savings by reducing costs of their employees. eventually we'll get to the point where technology, as a society if we can get technology to be helpful in reducing the cost of living for people who are struggling, for instance, 3-d printing of houses so we get housing costs way, way down, that would be lower mortgage payments. more renewable energy, so people have lower energy payments. and then i think basically if i have to think how would i like to see society evolve i really don't believe that the work consumption model of our capitalist economy is going to work long-term. we're going to have to have focus on quality of life. which is sort of what -- >> i want to ask you one question about trump and his tax plan actually, which is, depending on how you make the math work you might have to get rid of the mortgage deduction or at least lower it. you might have to get rid of the interest deduction on the corp

we have a lot of work to do. and, to say in america, if i'm an african-american, if i'm a minority, that i automatically assume and prepare myself to be treated differently is unacceptable. it's unacceptable and i'm here today to make sure that we can continue to use all of our passion, all of the power that you see assembled here to make a difference. thank you, and i yield back, sir. >> thank you very much. i understand mr. johnson does not have a statement. so -- oh. >> i will say at this time that, this issue of relations between the police and african-americans is sometng that we as african-americans have to live with every day. i'll tell you that back, back 1st of march i was out at walter reed army medical center going into the gate and, i had my suit on, gray hair, rushing for an appointment, looking distinguished and everything as i always do and, had a little incident at the gate with a guy, probably about 23 years old. hot firecracker in terms of how he wanted to talk to me and how he approached me in a

thing it got to a point we don't know what else to do now we need to bring in other professional to come and get established because the reading instead of the same sound guy we noted a third party to do the reading and take a scientific measurement of where we are. >> the question is the djs what sound level they've been doing you, i mean. >> every nightclub my sound person worked for the best nightclubs in the word world and london like that 120 is an acceptable reading. >> if you take a reading at one thirty. >> we've done that we have a comprehensive. >> what your bleeding at the level it is over one and 10 your bleeding outside of the building when you do our soundproofing you do it based on the one and thirty. >> exactly. >> not reading the one and 10 more than that e no matter you'll bleed. >> when the crowd hears a song yeah. it spikes to you know whatever. >> yeah. but that's okay. >> i mean. >> as a venue you need to an account for that and if you want we want 11 center to the success succeed and folks that worked alongside the operator to make sure the night life it su

with you that has to do with the political situation at t the number of no votes just much to do with you. it has to do with the political at the time. has to do with a whole world of they other than what think of you. >>> washington journal continues. host: we want to welcome scott represents pennsylvania in the center part of the state in york. guest: nice tie host: thank you. talk about the budget. let's begin with healthcare. house speaker paul ryan telling he will publicans that not change the main pillars of his plan to repeal and partially obamacare even as tweaks ans search for legislation. guest: he's the speaker of the house. major piece of legislation that impacts every american's life. these are the tenets that we have to have and i think that americans have to understand it. he's playing out parameters got some flexibility. >> i think fundmentedly we're of the ing to the core issue, the problem. right now,ith things like the uaranteed issue for insurance companies that they must provide and the essential benefits that e with those things remain in place, how can we talk c

what we need to do. ou expect that the tapping into energy resources, do you expect these projects to happen in 2017? what's the timeline secretary? >> we are going to move as fast as we can with the executive orders today, the president has tasked me to look at regulation. i'm signing a series of secretary orders tomorrow and we don't have a lot of time. so, again, if there's people that are going to resist on something that's imperative to this country, you know, i think it's going to come as a political cost. we are going to go forward with our agenda of jobs, creating wealth, restoring trust and internet your, we -- in interior we have a lot to do. we want to do it right. we all like clean air, clean water, we are going to do it right and create jobs. maria: is the flint, michigan crisis finally coming to an end, secretary? any news there? >> there's a lot of blame of how that happened. the bureaucratic system broke down on it. people knew about it evidently and no action taken on both sides. this is

it's within our capacity to do it. we will stop with all of the silly politics abdomen solve our problems. the capacity exists within us. it will power, that's where we need to pray. >> dr. carson it's been such a pleasure dealing with you. your example and humility. we wish you well in your service and the sectary of housing and urban development we continue to bring more of you in the administration. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> i'm armstrong williams and thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >>> good monday morning, everyone. >> here are some of the top headlines we're following on "world news now." >>> more than 60 million americans are bracing for the impact of a monster winter storm driven by arctic air and heavy snows that could bury a wide swath of the northeast under as much as 15 inches of snow. we are tracking that storm and had have the latest straight ahead. >>> in iraq, isis fighters are surrounded in western mosul. they left in the city -- few people are left there alive. the last road

we could have done to do it better. but ultimately, this all kind of comes down to a choice. are all of us willing to give a little to get something done? are we willing to say yes to the good, to the very good, even if it's not the perfect? because if we're willing to do that, we still have such an incredible opportunity in front of us. there remains so much that we can do to help improve people's lives and we will. because that's -- i've got to tell you, that's why i'm here. and i know it's why every member of this conference is here to make this a better country. we want american families to feel more confident in their lot in life. we want the next generation to know that yes, the best days of this country are still ahead of us. i'm proud of the bill we produced. it would make a dramatic improvement in the health care system and provide relief by people hurting under obamacare. what's probably most troubling is the worst is yet to come with obamacare. i'm also proud of the long, inclusive, member-driven process that

that's what i want you to do so heads of network. hoods of bookstores, heads of presidents to the united states i want you to bug donald trump's department but you quickly figure out what they want. sometimes they're silent and they're telling you what they want. there's also the plausible denialibility remember that from nixon years you don't want the president to know certain things. so the president wants to have a way of denying but you don't open your mouth. now your example is a very good one. but that is also this whole fisa that is a way that could have happenedded as surveillance too. but -- i suspect we'll hear more about that as time goes on here. but i think -- do you see signs that trump is thinking that he has to temper himself or do you think he doesn't feel that that's necessary and well -- basically wants to do that? >> i'm seeing him quiet been like on the network news they say it is like five days he hasn't answered this -- when i see that. i think hillary clinton who took 300 days before she had her second press co
