Lose their coverage under this bill and you heard yesterday morning every administration representative conceding that point. the goal was never to cover everybody to make sure they have access. it s like here s the door but it s locked and that will hurt this more than anything. democrats are united in protecting obamacare and would love to make it better but it s impossible with donald trump and the republicans. bill: katie, go ahead. under obamacare people were forced by the government to buy health care insurance or be fined. so just because you were forced into buying health care and you had it and now you don t have to be forced to buy it if they repeal the mandate didn t mean you lost health insurance you have to be skeptical of the number. bill: we have to run, katie you would say it s a make-or-break moment? republicans campaigned on this for years and lots of activists campaigned for repeal and they have to deliver it. bill: mary anne. on that one, katie s right.
Serious issue to say the least. we need insight into the leaks and devin nunes has not ruled out issuing subpoenas in the case. bill: they re backing away from the director withholding evidence. there was a closed-door classified briefing and the ranking member of the house intelligence committee came out afterwards and said the fbi director was withholding evidence and that s a serious charge and sunday he cited a shift. i have been critical of the fbi and their willingness to cooperate and i can say that s changed and pleased at the level of cooperation and there s still more to be ironed out but it s moved in a positive director. congressman shift said he may
Country because we play politics and forget people in need. bill: that was an interesting interview. john kasich sounding the death bell for both political parties warning the battle over health care is make them a thing of the past. katie pavelich and maryanne marsh. good morning. bill: what did you think? i don t think the country like governor kasich about leaving people been the we re the most generous people not world and in terms of the political party disintegrating 43% of voters are independent and if you look at the way both parties have gone they re gone left and right not to the middle. some argue that s an ok thing and some argue that s why we have an independent voting bloc
bill: that was 1993. again, when she asked for the resignations she got them because they knew as mr. bharrahas knows he asks you to go, you leave. bill: is there any drag in those offices with regard to investigations? you mentioned it but if you re replacing dozens and dozens of leading u.s. attorneys it s theoretically possible that the new u.s. have a new investigation and because everything is so high profile and transparent highly unlikely. bill: you expected this? yes. i did. i did not expect them it refuse to take the president s call but i expected jeff sessions to resign as others did.
Time. check out the video from australia s gold coast. a dolphin leaps out of the water taking out a surfer. check it out, boom. the dolphin twisted midair at the last second to avoid collision. fortunately the surfer was not hurt. he has an awesome story to tell. the fact someone caught that video. bill: it would just be a fish story but now there s video, wow. shannon: i like it. bill: you can t believe what happened to me. shannon: i like he says he dolphin twisted midair to avoid him. bill: without the video it s just a claim. shannon: verified. bill: as the northeast braces for a massive storm, snow is in chicago causing major traffic delays but that s the kind of system that s not part of the
Than 60% of the territory they claimed two years ago. the overall operation in iraq to stamp out isis is progressing fairly well. bill: so if mosul is eventually liberated and at a high cost at that, what then for isis in iraq? well, isis in iraq is losing territory. it appears the u.s. military is going to stay in iraq for a long term to help iraqi forces to make sure isis forces doesn t reappear. we re getting a sense maybe in the summer a large operation to knock out isis in iraq is imminent. force have been meeting to discussion the operation so there s a sense the anti-isis coalition includes turkey, the united states, the kurds and
So we are very committed to not just defeating them but make sure they cannot escape. bill: connor powell live in our middle east newsroom watching the story as it unfolds. where are the coalition forces in the efforts to retake the town? it s been more than three months for coalition and iraqi forces to take back the eastern half of mosul in less than three weeks now they ve taken 30% of western mosul. the operation is moving fairly quickly in comparison to other iraqi operations but the operation is going to get much more difficult, much more deadly as coalition and iraqi forces move into the old city of mosul. the streets are narrower and impossible for armored vehicles to move around and this operation is going fairly well in comparison to previous operations and bill, it s important to remember in the last year isis has lost more
With the most precise data at their fingertips. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. shannon: it could be a wild day on wall street. the market s supposed to move today anticipating news on interest rates from the fed. janet yellen and company all but assure rate hike after the meeting wednesday. all this of course comes after the friday jobs report showed strong momentum in the economy. looks like it s opening slowly this morning so far. bill: so far. now this, iraqi forces making headway in the battle to take mosul from isis forces pushing further into jihadist territory and coalition forces warning the battle is about to get a lot tougher on the ground. any of the fighters left in mosul are going to die there because they re trapped.
Cia analyst formerly, yeah. bill: formerly. was trump tower bugged? i don t think so, i don t know. if i knew i wouldn t be in position to answer and i think there were many reports not challenged that suggested president trump had collusion with the russians and there indicates there was counterintelligence of the president and they ran with the story because it helped the narrative that trump and russia have a conspiracy and they realized you can t have an investigation without the kind of electronic eavesdropping they re saying would not have happened. so it can t be both ways and in a sense we ve gotten more truth. bill: buck sexon, thank you for your analysis. shannon. shannon: we re waiting on the new health care bill.
Back off president trump. that s all ahead. bill: are you going to sleep in an igloo? what s the deal with the snowstorm. this one could be a challenge. bill: mid-march. thank you, john. the east getting ready for the heavy snow to fall in chicago and the whole country bracing for a week of travel nightmares. hundreds of flights canceled already and we re live in a matter of minutes now. i read the up in story behind green mountain coffee and fair trade? let s take a flight to colombia. this is boris calvo. boris grows mind-blowing coffee. and because we pay him a fair price, he improves his farm and invest in his community to make even better coffee. all for a smoother tasting cup. green mountain coffee.
