If that vote is going ahead on thursday. >> is it too late? >> no, its not too late. we have already seen -- he made a big show of bringing in members of the republican study committee, another group of powerf repubcahouse members, to the whiteou on friday. and he pronounced they werell on board with him now. all of them had had misgivings beforehand and now because of his five minutes of talking to them, he changed all of their minds. well see. well see if that comes about. >> i remember that h...

Last weekend, where we saw more insurance companies here. i just saw more everyday people who are in support of scrapping obamacare and getting on board with this new health care bill. but, again, florida is a state where you have the highest number of obamacare enrollees. so even in districts that, you know, might have voted for president trump and are supportive of president trump, you see a lot of senior citizens, low-income floridans, pregnant women, disabled people, who are still concerned ...

Fbi director james comey has promised to confirm tomorrow the existence and scope of the russian/trump investigation. thats what white house told manu raju tonight. lets discuss the wiretapping claims. good evening evan and jack. welcome back. evan according to reporting james comey is going to disclose what he knows about the investigation into president trump and russia. what do you want to hear? >> just the truth. like many americans i think needs to be more transparence, american people need...

At. >> evan, they did not -- >> why would you not want to investigate that? in addition to that, weve got ties between the trump campaign and -- >> evan, i understand theres a lot of never trumpers, but the reality is -- >> why would you not want more information for the american people? its unbelievable. >> intel committee is going to give if to you. now youre not going to be satisfied. because no matter what they say, never-trumpers are always going to move the goal post and say ah-ha, what ab...

Probably i going to say is that there is an investigation going on. i dont think hes going to really outline all the particulars, because i dont think its in the interest of the investigation to tell too much. washington as we all know is leaking like a sieve these days, and probably the less he sees the better. you know, evan and i probably disagree on this. but you have a standing committee, which is the intel committee. its far stronger than a select committee. if you created a select committ...

Want to, im not being flippant, but what is the matter, evan? >> what is the matter? im surprised you would ask, but the matter first and foremost is that our greatest strategic adversary interceded in our elections to disrupt and influence the election. >> we know that, and that is already being investigated. and, as you knew, 17 committees reported that and said there was no collusion between the trump campaign. what is the matter, the matter is -- >> they reported, they reported. >> evan, the...

Exchange of planning and intentions related to the election. thats not necessarily what you would find even if there is complicity. its more just an understanding that russia was influencing our elections and encouragement through friendly contacts and maybe a little bit more than that. >> steve, you want to weigh-in on that? >> yeah, evans absolutely right on all of that. what i would add is, although theres no smoking gun yet, and of course we will not know until there is some sort of investig...

Thats not necessarily what you would find even if there is complicity. its more just an understanding that russia was influencing our elections and encouragement through friendly contacts and maybe a little bit more than that. >> steve, you want to weigh-in on that? >> yeah, evans absolutely right on all of that. what i would add is, although theres no smoking gun yet, and of course we will not know until there is some sort of investigation, preferably an independent one. what i can tell you fro...

Have something like james clapper coming on and saying it didnt happen, should that be the end of it? >> i think what clapper said was very, very definitive. and the same goes for the statement that obamas office released. both of those were not trying to create loopholes. they were pretty clear they dont believe any of this has happened. so obviously that makes it more difficult to justify the investigation. >> lets talk about the reason why, especially when you have policy that could happen ag...

To show support for some form of independent prosecutor. >> hang with me here. now, evan, as you bring you in the mix. we had this conversation on "meet the press." we basically said when it comes to wiretapping, no to that. when it comes to collusion between the trump campaign and russian officials, no to that as well. here is a little bit more of what he had to say. >> we did not include any evidence in our report, and i say our. thats nsa, fbi and the cia with my office, the director of natio...
