Are we going to repeal and replace obamacare with Something Better . This is the covenant that we made with the American People when we ran on a repeal and replace plan in 2016. We are designing a system that is not going to lower costs, and that is the big deal. By removing the mandate of a governmentmandated, you must buy this program or you will pay a penalty, and eliminating choice, we are enacting, i think, very strong conservative flat numeric values and health care that give allamericans more choice at a lower cost. I think that should be a very positive message. Make no mistake, the president is very proud of the product they produce. We are going to try to make this bill better if we can, but right now, where it is, it is not what we told the voters we were going to do. Shannon tonight, as President Trump finds himself in sell mode, we will delve deep into the divisions. Page david mcintosh, president of the club for this year, he just met with the president
within the last hour but he is going to tell us whether he was convinced by mr. Trumps pitch. Then Governor Scott meeting with the new here to tell us what he thinks the pill is a good start. We begin with key Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel on the hill. Two relevant committees getting a first crack at this Republican Health care package. This hour, lawmakers continue the work on this bill. Democrats have convicted mack accused colleagues are trying to rush the bill through before theyve gotten an assessment of the price tag and overall impact from the congressional budget office. My inquiry is, again, if i can say it, if youll let me say it is, after the last two months of saying we were going to use this, that we were not going to try to jam things down speak of the gentlemen have a parliamentary inquiry. Now you work doing exactly that. What is your inquiry. Republicans came out against the package yesterday, President Trump tweeted that he feels sure his friend will come along with his new and Great Health Care program and the senator offered this response. I do agree with the president , and i talked with him this week, i agree that obamacare is a disaster, and i agree that we should repeal it. I think that is where the unity is. Then were going to have to have a debate over replacement. Fox news has confirmed in the House RepublicanConference Meeting with Steve Scalise today, as to members if they are with the president on health care or with House Democratic leader nancy pelosi. I think they should be with their constituents, and their constituents have a lot to lose if they go along with this. It is interesting to see the figures of the people who supported President Trump who are on the Affordable Care act. They say the president is in sell mode, and many sources say
that will be critical to getting this done. Part of that offensive is expected to include Budget Director at Mick Mulvaney inviting members of the conservative Freedom Caucus to the white house next tuesday night for a little pizza and bowling. Shannon a bit of a bowling summit. All right, make. Thank you very much for the update. Joining us now, david mcintosh, president of The Club For Growth who called bill, a warmed, substitute for Government Health care but he just met with the president. It is pitch work . David, lets find out. How did the meeting go . Theres been no secret that youve been been a big critic. We shared those concerns, criticisms of the bill, with the president. I can say, i was encouraged because he was listening. Yes, he was selling, he said, weve got to get something done, i am pushing you and the congress to get a bill through so that we can repeal obamacare. We pointed out that the house bill isnt the best vehicle for doing that. They dont fully repeal obamacare. They keep some of the taxes that he passed. They keep the expansion of medicaid, and the worst thing for us is, They Dont Create Competition against across sta. People will end up spending as much of the do now on their Health Insurance bill. And the promises that republicans made were, we are going to repeal it so there will be competition, free market, you can pay less and get Better Health care. Shannon you are not convinced this does that in any way. The most encouraging thing, shannon, the president and his team said, yes, we get it, this needs to be changed. We encouraged him to michael push them to change it, we want to work with you to pass a better bill. Shannon something people have really been looking forward to come up when the criticism first bubbled up, the president tweeted out, were going to get that. Are you confident that will
happen . Also, we had on congressman kevin brady, the chair of one of the committees tackling this right now. I pressed him on whether they are going to let people make substantive amendments. You want to know that that input is going to be taken great are you convinced from your meeting with the president tonight that this thing will happen . I am convinced the president is going to push for it, im not convinced the house leadership is taking input from conservatives. They havent from the beginning and that is the mistake they are making on this bill. I think they should do is allow amendments to fully repeal obamacare and then work from there to bring back a Free Market Bill and a process that will benefit all americans because Health Insurance will be cheaper and they wont have to have all of these constraints and mandates that the obamacare builders. Keeping a lot of that is the big problem with the house bill that they are working on. Shannon they have got it price tag, we know it is not free. I want to ask, where you come
down on the issue of we had senator lee on last night, talking about reintroducing the whole Obamacare Repeal from 2017, would you support that is a different vehicle . I think that is when you could easily pass in both houses. Once they start making changes and ryan starts adding things back in that look like obamacare, you start losing votes. Yes, i think that is a good starting place for them. I think they could take the ryancare bill and get rid of the changes and keep obamacare provisions and then the ryancaret bill could be good too. There are some good things in their. Shannon i see icu of adopted the moniker that a lot of folks i dont love the bill are now calling it ryancare. Thank you for giving us some intel and insight into your meeting with the president and keep us updated. I am encouraged by the president pushing them to keep changing until they get a good bill. Shannon david mcintosh, thanks. Here now, Florida Governor rick scott, and met with Speaker Paul Ryan today. I know you spent a lot of time meeting with the president one on one. What do you make of what we have so far. Would you pass it as it is written now . You know my background. I ran the largest hospital in the country, this is important to me, we know obamacare is an absolute mess. The president inherited a mess. I am encouraged that we having a real conversation here. Im going to make sure it is fair to floridians, but i am encouraged, and im going to work to make sure i want to make sure that we get a Bill Fair To Floridians and make sure people have access to health care. The problem here is, costs are too high, whatever weve passed has to focus on costs. Shannon what do you say to those who say they dont see in
this bill any evidence that it will bring that cost down . We got to focus on cost. If you look at access is 100 tied to cost. That is my focus. On top of that, whatever we do, i have got to fight for florida, and im going to. Shannon lets talk about medicaid, floor did not take the Medicaid Expansion, that is a hotly contested issue. There are some senators who are conservative g. O. P. Senators who say, listen, if you dont keep the Medicaid Expansion going, it has been critical in my state, you may lose my vote. There conservatives say, we dont even like that is continuing for three years. Whered you come down on this . You made a very bold choice you thought was best for your state. Sure. We know the way they have done obamacare, it is not sustainable, costs have gone up, taxpayers are not going to build pay for it, it has caused premiums to go up. Just got to be repealed. In the meantime, ive got to fight for florida, and im going to fight for florida to make sure it is paired for florida. We didnt do the expansion because we knew it was not sustainable. Ive got to make sure that whatever passes is fair for our state. I want people to get access to health care, but like you said, weve got to focus on the cost side. Shannon what about across state lines . Is that something you support . Absolutely. You want to drive down Health Care Costs . I whatever insurance you want, make sure you have more competition, across state lines, and reward people for taking care of themselves. Those three things will drive down costs. Shannon what you make of the tax credits . Especially the Freedom Caucus and others say that it is just another word for an entitlement and that is not something they can vote for. This is way better than obamacare. This bill, if this bill passes, it is way better than obamacare. I think there are a lot of things we can improve on. I want people to have access to
health care. I want them to be able to afford health care. I think this is a great starting point. I think we are going to keep working on it. Shannon Florida Governor rick scott. Thank you, governor. Breaking news this hour, fbi on the hunt for a mole inside the cia. Makes a very rare statement about this latest massive leak of Classified Information.

Central intelligence agency, the fbi launching an investigation to find the person who leaked the sense of Classified Information as they search for the next manning or snowden. Well be joined by james mitchell, the man who personally interrogated 9 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh mohammed. First, Ed Henry Live In Washington with new details. Hi, ed. We are told the leak involves the entire Hacking Capacity of the cia. That part, and pursing a revelations about how it has the capacity to break into smartphones, turn smart tvs into microphones that record our conversations and could actually kill someone by hacking into a car that is connected to the internet. The cia has just released a statement acknowledging that this is a very damaging leak, of course, that could jeopardize american personnel and operations. The cia also insisting that while they have these tools, they are not using them to spy on americans. A spokesman declaring it is
important to note that the cia is legally prohibited from conducting electronic surveillance targeting individuals at home including our fellow americans, and the cia does not do so. The cias activities are subjected to rigorous oversight to ensure they comply fully with u. S. Law. The white house meanwhile today also jumped into the fray. We will go after people who leaked Classified Information. We will prosecute them to the full extent of the law. This is playing with our Nations National security, notes mcnutt should be taken lightly under this administration. Tech company scrambling tonight, apple declaring about 80 of their users have the most updated Operating System that fixes vulnerabilities while samsung simply said privacy is a top priority. As for the hunt for the mole, telling Catherine Herridge there are three scenarios, an insider who is an employee or networker, or a Network Cyber breach or some combination of the two. Shannon Ed Henry Live In Washington. Here no, dr. James mitchell,
author of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques pretext for being with us tonight. Thank you for having me on. Shannon we understand there is officially a federal criminal investigation, how in The World Today go about tracking this. I asked our inside team to tell them, how many contractors are the cia, they couldnt break it down, but they said within the Intelligence Community as a whole, at least 27,000. The assumption is that it is a contractor. Because that is what it has been in the past. But it could be anyone. The other question that you asked me about how they are going to go about tracking these folks down, i really dont think we should talk about that. At least people who know should be talking about that, because the very reasons we dont want to Hacking Tools Release does, we dont want them to know the methods we are going to use. What we need to do is relentlessly hunt these folks down because they are not just placing american personnel at risk, they are placing american
lives at risk. Shannon so its not a contractor, are you saying you do believe it was maybe a cyber breach from outside . It could be an employee, it could be a cyber breach, it could be a small band of people. One of the things that weve done in this country that disturbs me a little bit is that we have romanticized this subculture of hackers to the point that they have become almost a tribe where they have become called heroes, and that the cool thing to do is to get into the hard places to get into and then to sort of give people a peek into their underwear drawer, so to speak, right . That has somehow become a way of taking scalps, and thats a problem. Particularly if it is an employee of the government or a contractor or it is some sort of a breach, we need to find that, we need to find those people, and we need to stop them. Shannon who benefits from this . Who benefits . Criminals benefit. They are talking about doing more releases, and if they release the source code, that is particularly dangerous. Not only would criminals have that but the bad guys would have that as well. Every day somebody from al qaeda and isis gets up and tries to figure out a way to kill americans here in the United States. Imagine if they could launch a catastrophic attack simultaneously with some sort of Cyber Warfare Weapon attack as well. It makes us incredibly vulnerable. A second side effect of this thing is, i know a lot of people have criticized me because of my involvement in interrogations. One of the weird side effects of releasing this kind of information is, you make people like me that much more necessar necessary. We have these surreptitious, clandestine ways of getting information, now you have revealed all of that, so it is going to be harder to do that because they are going to protect themselves. And if they can go invisible, then they can plan attacks. Shannon yes or no, are you
confident that our investigation will find the person or persons responsible . They will if theyre not politically correct about it. I know that there are those on the left and on the right who, like a Sacrament Glamorize these leakers like snowden and manning as if they were some kind of Culture Heroes or some kind of called heroes. And i think that is a mistake. They are traitors. They should be treated like traders. Because its not just the cia personnel or the Intelligence Community
