His peel, his very spokesman in the white house and his republicans will no longer play ditto heads. They wont say this believe the guy. Sean spicer refuses to lip sync what President Trump said aut retapping. Now it is fast his boss were speaking english as a second language. Fixing the math. Heres how sean spicer explained the tweet on guantanamo when asked about it today. Obviously the president meant in totality the number released on the battlefield. From gitmo. Nice try, the only problem, the president specifically said in his tweet that they were released by the Obama Administration. Thats a fact. Check it. Meanwhile spicer continued to deflect about the weekend tweet fest in which he accused of the tapping before the election. A radio host named mark levin over and over, repeatedly asked spicer for hard evidence. We put our statement on sunday saying that we would have no further comment and we were asking the house and the Senate Intelligence committee to look into this concern and report back. Cant he just ask him . No. The president has not. Will the president withdraw the accusation . Does he have i why would he withdraw it until it is adjudicated . Have you seen any evidence yourself . As far as me, no. I am not in a position that would be regularly part of my daily duties. Is the White House Position that the president can make declarative statements about the former president decommitting a crime and then they should look into that and basically prove it . It is not a question of prove it. They have the resources and the clearances and the staff to fully and comprehensively investigate it. But President Trumps statement shouldnt be taken at face value. Why would the president the Want Congress to investigate information he already has of until theres a separation here. Youre talking about resources and time. Why waste it . It is a question of appropriateness. Many republicans avoided the assertion, they requested for evidence of the serious charge. I think that the president of the United States stated that president obama wiretapped. He should come forward to the information that led him to that conclusion. It is a very serious charge against previous president of the United States. Im joined now, what do you think of him saying the former president illegally wiretapped him. Thanks for having me back. This president is no longer credible is that theres no one that he is willing to spare in defaming to distract us from the uncomfortable questions around russia. What do you think . Do you think he just made it up . There is no evidence of it. If there was any sort of wiretapping, it is because the fbi ask the department of justice got a federal judge to sign off on it which means necessary real trouble. But none of that happened. Youre on the intelligence committee. That you know none of that happened. There is no evidence out there. This president has crossed all lines. He has attacked judiciary. He is attacking the peaceful transfer of power. And president obama who was so gracious on him and pretty measured. More measured than a lot of us would have been. Hes attack the independence of our law enforcement. So there is no line he would cross to make sure he distracts us from these questions around russia. Trump is president of the United States. I have a hard time calling him President Trump right now. When he gets up at dawn and starts tweeting, that doesnt seem like an official statement from a president. It strikes me as the guwho used to say that obama was an illegal immigrant. Like as he blogger, not the president. What do you think when he makes these claims srgs he president when he is doing is this . Or is this some weird extracurricular at dawn he practices . He is the armchair uncle after thanksgiving dinner who is just letting his unfounded opinions fly. And we need a president who is focused right now. And i always step back. He is entitled to his opinion but if it is making us less safe or giving americans less opportunity, thats when americans need speak up. When is the Committee Going to say this is nonsense in what is the wait . All you have to do as a committee. I know how it works call the fbi director to the stand tomorrow morning. Put hill under oath and say was there any evidence while youve been director months and years ago, any evidence or any attempt to bug donald trump. Get it over with. Why are we waiting months of this nonsense . Its not hard. I was encouraged the fbi director comey was trying to have the department of justice clear this reckless statement by the president. We should do that this week. We shouldnt have to let the American People be confused about what really happened here because the president is so reckless with his tweets. At noon, as a republican he is saying, we havent heard anything yet so far about it. Were going to keep our eyes open and our ears open and maybe something will come across our desk. He is saying there is nothing to it but he wont blow the whistle on saying, lets stop this. Thanks for coming. On President Trumps surrogates have struggled to try to cover for the bosss weird statements on wiretapping. Listen closely to how they distanced themselves. Look interesting president firmly believes that the Obama Administration play tapped into the phones at trump tower of. Is his information, that president obama tapped his phone based solely on something he read in the media . I havent had the chance to have the conversation directly with the president. He is at a much higher classification than i am. He may have access to documents that i dont know about. How does he know that his phone is actually tapped . Let me answer that. He is the president of the United States. He has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not. Thats the way it should be for president s. Do you believe president obama . I get thats a key question. My job is to represent the president and what he wants. Hes made very clear what his goal is. I am not here to speak for myselfism here to speak for the president of the United States and the government. He sounds like a public defend we are an obviously guilty defendant and he wont say anything. He will say, ill defend this charact character. I want to go to robert on this. You know trump pretty well. Why is he getting up at six 00 in the morning and spouting this nonsense in hes president. Hes the president and hes always gotten up early. He is up at 4 00, 5 00 in the morning. He reads the news, the printout of arrests that sit on his desk and he goes through them page by page. Why does he do it . He doesnt use a computer. Youre missing my main point why. Does he get up on a saturday morning the trash his predecessor, then do it again, saturday, then tuesday. First, he said as he felon because he wire attempted him. In the past he said he was worthy of deportation because he snuck into the country illegally. Then he said he let the guys at guantanamo go. 93 were released froef obama becoming president. It was an unfair charge in both cases. Why is he attack the former president at dawn . A fair question. He truly thinks day to day about president obama and he compares himself to how much president obama was able to accomplish in his first few months in office. Why he is somewhat haunted, smas put it, by president obamas first materiaterm, im not sure. Im not a psychologist. But he does talk about what he could do with a Democratic Congress in 2009. Well, he was a rational man and he is a gentleman. How is that for a rational argument . What do you make of this . I dont know. As somebody who spent a year saying, oh, gee, isnt it crazy that hes tweeting this or saying that. When you start to see that theres a pattern to something. Not just in terms. News cycle. Were talking about russia and things he doesnt want us to talk about but also the time of the day. At dawn. Setting the news cycle in the morning. There is intentionality. Going after president obama, thats personal too. If it comes out, as it really is coming out already. This tweet wasnt strategic. He would be seen as being a blow hard who is sending out nonsense at dawn. What about blaming the guantanamo recidivists, when in fact he had a very small role in it. I think it was just popping off. Going on the morning shows and saying what can i put out this morning to get People Like Us talking about Something Like gitmo instead of talking about Rod Rosenstein who could be the deputy ag is having his confirmation hearings today. Let me get back to robert one of the stories thats out is a haywire situation. We saw pictures through windows of steve banning being eruptive last week. Were hearing about Reince Priebus is trying to be the hall monitor but isnt succeeding. He is being blamed. Trump comes out and says this is all fake news. There is some disruption inside the white house. And it is important to know that bannon and priebus were not with the president in florida on saturday morning with he started this cascade of tweets. He was in he is end alone, he was a president he alone at maralago. Reading breitbart. And bannon has this world view that trump has in many ways adopted. But bannon, he is a comfort dante of president but it is always trump himself making decisions, reacting. This idea of bannon or priebus being the influence, it never bears out. It is trump alone re. Styles taking their council but really running on his gut instincts. Up next, we hear from one of trumps closest friends the president is not a happy camper these days.

A charge he made without evidence and won his own fbi director has said to ignore. His own filibuster director said ignore this. But a long time friend of President Trumps spent time with the president shortly after the tweets and again later saturday night. He wrote on sunday, i spoke with the president twice yesterday about the wiretap story. I havent seen him this ticked off in a long time. When i mentioned obamas denials about the white house, he said well this will be veinvestigate. It will come out. Christopher, thank you for joining us. If you have any, about trying to examine the president would need to get up and tweet about this, i wonder. Well, breaking news, donald trump likes to tweet what he thinks and feels and whats going on in his mind. And hes been doing it a long time so theres no surprise here. A lot of people were caught very much off guard by this. But my conversations with h saturday, he was extremely confident about the information. He was angry. This did not seem like something he was sort of bantering about. Like something about ted cruz father or Something Like that. This was very serious. He spent any number of years talking that about the illegal immigrants. So dont say theyre casual remarks. They were serious charges. He was on the birther patrol for years. Well, lets make it clear, ill not here to represent the president. Nor the white house. Im just speaking as an individual who is friends with the president but also runs a media agency. I took it seriously. I think we should take the allegations seriously. I also think the president should produce some evidence at some point that supports the allegation. But lets remember, for all the talk about this, fbi director has yet to make any official statement. And all of the denials, 95 of these denials, nobody is deny that had the Trump Campaign was surveiled. What they are denying is that president obama ordered the surveillance. Thats a big difference. And i think a very important difference. If that campaign was surveiled, and a lot of those campaign thats the that ive spoken to all believe they were surveiled at one point or another, thats a serious matter. Who were the people who said that . Ive talked to any number of people. Give me a name or two. I dont give up my sources and im sure you dont either. They arent sources. Theyre people who said they were surveiled. Theyre people in the campaign who charged the Obama Administration. Lets start with the president of the United States. He says he was surveiled. He said it was mccarthyism. He said he would like it investigated. Why wont the fbi director make an official statement about it . Do you have any idea . Look, i wish he would. He certainly did make one about Hillary Clinton being cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant taste of death, but once uh, excuse me, waiter. I ordered the soup. Of course, maam. My apologies. Cmon, caesar. Lets go. Caesar on a caesar salad . Surprising. Excuse me, pardon me. Whats not surprising . How much money matt saved by switching to geico.

Good evening, chris, thank you my friend. You bet. Happy tuesday. Big, big, big busy news day today. One of those days when it pays to not zone out. Sort of pays to pay attention. One of the things well talk about in tonights show is the rollout today of the republican plan to get rid of the Affordable Care act. Fairly disastrous rollout, i would say today. We knew democrats would hate it but who knew republicans could craft a plan that would give so many different kinds of republicans so many Different Reasons to hate it. If you are worried about losing your health insurance, if you are worried about 20 million of your fellow americans losing their health insurance, today was very scary in terms of what republicans said they want to do
