Politics is all about. but the truth is, obama care has been a disaster for many years and weve all pledged to do something about it. thats what were doing hopefully tonight, tomorrow and the next day. >> bret: all right, tax reform. the rollout today, first of all, was this rollout done because you learned something from health care that you need to be on the front end of this? >> no, not necessarily. i think that, you know, in regard to health care, it is something that the republicans have be...

That might indicate theres a serious problem with their clearance process. >> that was on general flynn. quickly, gloria, to you, the discussion being hang on, is it that president trump wants money to build this wall in this spending bill by the end of this week for fiscal year 2017 and we heard sean spicer say there will be a wall built. im not sure if i got a full defd definitive answer. >> i think i was told by somebody who is involved in the associations that there seems to be some progress...

>> and he may be seeing this information and hes advise ago candidate through the lens of what his commitments are elsewhere. this is a classic conflict of interest situation so yes, well before the election he was donald trumps top national security adviser and to not disclose this it seems part of a pattern where, you know, the white house says no, no, no, no, no and then they are forced to admit something and they say not much here and then it gets worse and worse and worse. >> a crucial poin...

Presumably, you know, i dont know whats in the presidential daily briefing or what the briefing is being presented to the nominee of donald trump but there might be information there that would be useful if youre angling to promote the interests of the turkish government. >> and he may be seeing this information and hes advise ago candidate through the lens of what his commitments are elsewhere. this is a classic conflict of interest situation so yes, well before the election he was donald trump...

Interference in the campaign. do you think at the very least the attorney general needs to recuse himself from decisions on this? should there be a special prosecutor? >> i cant speak to that part of it, the attorney general. the proper place n my opinion, is the intelligence committees because theyre it is ones who have access to methods of intelligence-gathering. this is sensitive information that involves how we collect intelligence. that is why we have an intelligence committee that goes thr...

Values, and then put out the order. dont do it in reverse, which is what this administration did when it put out this ill-conceived, ill-prepared and badly implemented executive order. >> the administration has complained about the slow process of confirmations, some of which was their own fault because they didnt get their paperwork up and hadnt gotten through the ethics and fbi clearance process, but the fact is that 90% of the people that they can control are not even nominated. they have so ...
