doug ell men doffer joins us from massachusetts. thanks for joining us.p to this score, we saw gaming the referee saying the c.b.o. wasn't capable or well equipped to score legislation of this size. how would you respond to that? >> c.b.o. doesn't respond to political pressure and has no political objectives. it issues its estimates that are unbiased and drawing a wealth of knowledge and information and delivers those estimates without regard to the political consequences. i think we saw over the weekend was an attempt to bat away an estimate that political leaders thought would be damaging to their cause and that's why people attack c.b.o. and trying to put a league up by pushing it to the side. scarlett: i'm sure some g.o.p. house members are looking at the score and how much it reduces the federal deficit by and looking at it as a positive and how do they make this turn and say this is good news for us. forget what we said earlier? >> if you roll back federal subsidies, there are two natural onsequences. c.b.o.'s estimate shouldn't be surprising to any

stella is joining us from worcester, massachusetts. you hear all of this concern about wikileaks, julie massage, and edward snowden and the leaking of this information. i have not heard one word about were hiredhers who exclusively by democrats who have held top security, top security clearances that have been accused of stealing secure government material, data, who have criminal backgrounds who had top security clearances. working for the democrats. i have not heard one thing about that on any of these talkshows or any in-depth investigations. these people made over $5 million of taxpayers money. they have gone back to pakistan with not even a care and i would like to know why. host: stella, thank you for the call. and forfor democrats are outside of the united states, we have a line. this is a tweet from one of our regular viewers -- one has to wonder why whistleblowers do not feel safe reporting to our government. perhaps they do not feel safe in in -- in doing so. america is more vulnerable today than ever before. let us go to tom

"north korea is america's greatest adversary, isolated, paranoid, belligerent, and he was the worst part, armed to the teeth. china has no more interest than anyone else in waiting for north korea to set off world war iii in asia. amid this gilly stories of north korean brinkmanship, there is an opportunity for the trump administratio

former senator scott brown with us from massachusetts. mr.ly spoken about this opioid problem in massachusetts and elsewhere in new england. the mayor of everett is suing, going after the maker, imposing liability on the maker of oxycontin. do you think that is the right way to go? >> well, stuart, as you know i'm an attorney for 32 years now and this is an issue where he has a very high burden to prove the nexus between what the company did and actually what is happening in everett. certainly i feel badly for him because it is happening not only in new hampshire but massachusetts and throughout the country. 91 deaths per day through this epidemic and it is huge. not only that, stuart, it is leading to human trafficking, people supporting the habit by prostitution. going to a different and new level as well. i think it's a novel legal argument but he will have some real challenges. i think he would be better off having a better check and balance system going after the doctors prescribing that like new york state is doing a wonderful job where

democratic lawmaker in massachusetts is setting up a firestorm of controversy for tipping off illegal immigrants in her district to pending rates by immigration officers. joining us now fromkville massachusetts outside boston where that warning went out, hello. >> that is right, a state lawmaker here in massachusetts is facing considerable backlash after posting on her facebook page essentially a warning to undocumented immigrants here in this community against -- about a rumored immigration raid here expected in the city. state representative michelle dubois, a democrat as you mention from boston, published this yesterday claiming she got word from a friend in the latin community that u.s. immigration and customs enforcement would be in the city today. she advised that if you are undocumented, don't go out on the streets. if there's a knock on the door of your house and you do not know who it is, don't open the door. i ask you to be careful. she has pushed back against any notion that she has gone too fa far. >> the issue is spreading a rumor. >> i do not, is information in my community. >> do you see how this could be fearmongering if you did not have it confirmed? >> n

mara healey, the attorney general from massachusetts, tweeting rule of law, 2, trump, 0. joining usow to discuss is the attorney general from massachusetts. maura, you're calling this a victory for the rule of law. why? >> great to be with you, stephanie. absolutely. i don't know how many times trump's order needs to be challenged and defeated. you can't do things that are unconstitutional. last night we had two courts saying this revised 2.0 travel ban, which is a muslim ban, is unconstitutional. it's really shameful. as a state attorney general i joined with colleagues from around the country in challenging this unlawful and unconstutional ban. the new ban was no different than the old ban. it presented the same proems. i think what you hear from trump's own mouth last night reflects exactly what it is he was trying to do. he promised a muslim ban during the campaign, and he delivered. in round one. and that's no different when it comes to round two. that's why the court last night made very clear in pointing to specific language used by president trump and many of his advisers th

it joining us via skype from cambridge, massachusetts, is alan dershowitz.ight leading defender on civil liberties -- a leading defender on civil liberties. he has been vocal on the travel ban. we appreciate your time. to what extent does this revision give donald trump the upper hand in court? does it resolve concerns? >> i think it will go a long way. the court have seen that this was carefully done. it was done by lawyers, vetted by the state department. this is a very carefully written acument designed to prevent court from intruding. the courts will pay attention to that fact. although i still don't support the policies underlying it, i'm not sure it's really necessary nations,nd based on even eliminating iraq. theou ask me about constitutionality, this improves the chances of it being found constitutional and lawful by the courts. julie: is there any sort of basis on the parts of individuals? we had a number with the prior version. do you expect that there would he some legal challenges? it, i amon't expect absolutely certain it will happen. i have no

massachusetts. apparently, michelle dubois posted a facebook thing that warned undocumented immigrants in the area that there might be in a coming i.c.e. raid. that has caused all kinds of controversy. joining us fromngton, thomas hodgson, sheriff of bristol county massachusetts, where this took place. what exactly did she do? >> what she did was, she sent out an alert saying she had gotten tipped off that there was going to be a i.c.e. raid on wednesday in the city of boston. basically, said to stay in your house, don't go outside, somebody knocked on your door and you don't know who they are, don't answer the door. she gave out all kinds of instructions on what to do to avoid the i.c.e. agents if they were to come into that area. >> bill: did they indeed raid of brockton? >> i'm not aware of a raid at this point. but the underlying issue is that we have an elected official who has gone out of her way not to protect the citizens of her community but to harbor people who are targeted, not only putting i.c.e. agents at risk, because we need the element of surprise come up with regard to a place, dealing with some heavy duty transnational gangs involved in trafficking are the other things going on ou

. >> senator ed markey, democrat from the great state of massachusetts joins us.to see you, sir. >> thank you, good evening. >> so, senator, tell me what you most disagreed with last night with the president and what you most agreed with. >> well, first of all, just in the clip that you had, there's an internal contradiction. on one hand, president trump says, well, he wants cleaner air and cleaner water and to increase the defense of our country. well, he's going to cut the budget for the environmental protection agency which fights the battle for clean air and clean water by 20%. so he's going to retreat on the protections for the things that really do matter for security for people in their homes, for their families, for their children, and when he says he wants to increase defense spending, what he forgets to leave out, to add, is it's going to come at the expense of health care, at the expense of education, at the expense of clean air and clean water, and at the expense of the state department diplomacy budget. so he wants to increase by tens of billions of d

last year in massachusetts, nearly 2,000 people died from opioid use. that is more than double the number who died in 2013. that's right, double. between 2014 and 201 ssachusetts had a bigger jump its death rate from drug overdoses than any other state except north dakota. now last week i was on the front lines in lynn community health center where dedicated staffers are trying to meet this opioid epidemic head on. this week i went to mannet community health center where a coordinated team in quincy is battling the opioid crisis. but while i was there, i not only met with the professionals, i saw the mamas and the babies, the people who are in recovery and people who reach out to those who are still in the grip of drugs. the opioid crisis is not happening to someone else's family or in someone else's community. it's happening to our families in our communities, and we need to do more, more to stop this playing before it takes another of our loved ones. we need to do more. what we absolutely cannot do is less. we cannot take away the resources already co

massachusetts, oregon, what we are all seeking. so it's fantastic news. >> stephanie elam joins us from honolulu, hawaii, where the federal judge issuedt temporary restraining order against the new travel ban. what did this judgment rest on, stephanie? >> reporter: well, it was a couple of points, max, when you take a look at this ruling here, he ruled that there would be irreparable injury if there was not relief. he said that that was likely. and he said this could affect both the university and the tourism here, which the state had argued would be damaged by this travel ban. obviously, as you might imagine here, tourism is a major part of the economic machine here in hawaii, but just to read a bit of the ruling from federal judge derek watson. let me read to you what he said. he said the il logic of the government's contentions is palpable. the notion that one can demonstrate animus towards any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed. equally flawed is the notion that the executive order cannot be found to have targeted islam because it applies to all individuals in the six referenced countries

joining us now scott brown, former republican senator from massachusetts and a fox news contributor.k. good to see you again. >> great to see you, stuart. stuart: now, what do you think about the direct action trump tweet. he's going right alt the freedom caucus? >> listen, the freedom caucus has some really good ideas when it comes to dealing with costs and the size of government, but don't forget, this is president trump's agenda, it's not the freedom caucus agenda or paul ryan's agenda, it's the trump agenda. i thought they put him in a bad place the other day. hopefully they'll work and come back with a better plan because obamacare is crushing individuals and businesses right now. so, his direct threat, he goes after everybody, and that's his style and a message across the bow. a warning shot across the bow. stuart: tax reform, here is comes, don't you get vieded-- divided on this, that's a clear shot. >> absolutely. and reform, it's a no-brainer, start with repatriate, simplif simplify. the taxes in the code recording obamacare are in there and they can't work around them. so,
