president trump in a stunning defeat abruptly cancels the vote on the republican health care bill facing what would have been an embarrassing long. >> i will not sugar coat this, this is a disappointing day. >> we're going to stop it day one. i never said repeal and replace obamacare. i never said repeal it and replace it within 64 days. >> democrats should take credit for killing a really, really bad piece of legislation. >> the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. now they own obamacare. they own it. well, good morning to you on this saturday. so grateful to have you with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. president trump says he's moving on after one of his biggest campaign promises goes no where.

but what does the failure to repeal obamacare really mean for the rest of his agenda? >> this morning president trump and house speaker paul ryan coming to grips with this stunning setback on their first piece of business under the new administration to roll back key provisions of obamacare abruptly. >> republicans have full control of power in washington, but, the president and speaker could not wrangle enough votes within their party and the blame game, we know, has already begun. our team of political correspondents and experts are standing by to break it all down for us. let's begin with cnn's ryan nobles for more on the finger pointing on washington. which actually began, ryan, before the decision to pull the bill was announced. >> yeah, victor. you really got the sense about mid-day yesterday that this wasn't going to happen and we heard from the white house that they were concerned about the priorities that house speaker

paul ryan put into place in terms of legislative agenda. really at this point the president and his team are trying to shake it off and move on to the next thing. but make no mistake about it, this is a pretty big setback for the trump administration and, in particular, the president's agenda. repealing and replacing the affordable care act was one of his biggest campaign promises and this was really his feirst attempt to drive through an important piece of legislation and it failed. but the president not pitting the blame on any republican, but, instead, democrats in congress. >> i think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer because now they own obamacare. they own it. 100% own it. and this is not a republican healthcare, this is not anything but a democrat healthcare and they have obamacare for a little while longer until it ceases to exist, which it will at some point in the near future. and just remember this is not our bill, this is their bill.

>> and as you alluded to, victor, ankest in the white house that house speaker paul ryan chose healthcare as the first item on the legislative agenda. and at this point, you have to look at this as a reality check for president trump. this is not how a private corporation works. washington is much different. you need partners and you need those partners in congress. this is something that he's going to have to get used to as he moves on and tries to enact that agenda. victor? >> we will certainly talk about that. ryan nobles in washington, thank you. suzanne malveaux live for us from capitol hill. suzanne, ryan talked about it, is tax reform next on the agenda? >> it's one of the things that's next on the agenda, christi. what we're seeing now this weekend lawmakers are at home with their constituents having to explain all of this and need tloosz say democrats are elated by what happened and republicans deeply divided in disarray over the lack of the vote.

the pulling of the legislation. the house freedom caucus very much emboldened by taking a stand early on and very consistent against the repeal and replace obamacare plan. moderate republicans very much concerned that the party is leaning too much to the right and that that caucus has too much power. we heard from house speaker paul ryan yesterday and in a stunning admission, he said that for ten years republicans have been the opposition party. they're now the governing party and that they really aren't ready for primetime. so, it is up to speaker ryan and majority leader mitch mcconnell to try to find a way to bring these factions to the party together to push forward an agenda that can pass. here's a little bit of the outtakes from yesterday. >> what i'm going to say to all of us, members of the freedom caucus and member of my study committee and to the tuesday group, i think we, and the white house, we all need to kind of reflect on this moment and

recognize that in a diverse legislative body, you know, you have to come together at some point and recognize that 80% is not bad. it's a step in the right direction. >> from the beginning of the process, i think that the way it was set up did not bring the parts of the conference together. we need to start from the beginning making sure all the concerns are addressed. >> this is going to be an ongoing leadership challenge for the governing majority. >> as for the democrats, they are emboldened and they are putting republicans on notice. first that they are preparing for a filibuster of trump supreme court nominees. second, that they are targeting vulnerable republicans, 15 of them from competitive districts who voted yes in certain committees along the way to advance the repeal and replace obamacare plan.

finally they say to republicans, look, if you're identifying all these problems with obamacare that is so bad for the american people, it is still up to the majority party to actually fix it. >> all right, suzanne malveaux, thank you so much. we appreciate it. let's talk now with cnn political commentator errol lewis and lynn sweet. i want to listen to or actually read you hillary clinton's tweet because she is chiming in on this. saying today is a victory, meaning yesterday for the 24 million people at risk of losing their health insurance. for seniors, families battling the quiet epidemic of addiction. for new moms everywhere. she went on to say the fight isn't over yet. we'll have to push back on future bad ideas. so, considering the fact that president trump is saying, look, we're just going to move on and let this be what it is. do you anticipate in that last comment that she made there the fight isn't over yet. we're going to have to push back on future bad ideas. do those bad ideas, do you

think, in many opinions, include the tax code and infrastructure that president trump wants to tackle, errol? >> there will be fights over some of them. infrastructure, in particular. one of the ones that you would thought be brought bipartisan agreement, however, the trump team wants to fund it using tax credit. so, a big fight over that. but, i think to your larger point, you know, this is something that conservatives feared about obamacare right from the beginning. that it would become entrenched and part of a way of life and join social security and medicare which republicans had also opposed at their initiation. as major entitlements that the country becomes used to. this is something that openly voiced fears about and now it seems to be coming to pass. >> with the tax code had been a better choice for the first battle, lynn? >> yes on political grounds. no on technical governing grounds because you would want to know that you had the tax cuts in place as part of a repeal of obamacare.

but having said that, one of the things that paul ryan said yesterday and i'm paraphrasing is that we have to think about sacrificing the perfect for the good and what happened is when you have purests who won't compromise, you get, you sometimes get nothing, which is what happened within the republican ranks. and the other thing i want to point out is there are still a series of decisions that have to be made that are routinely have to be made with obamacare still being the law. so, when president trump talks about it exploding, he's still responsible for administrating this nation. he is the president. you can't let something explode by neglect. he is the landlord. he has to have the roof fixed and the heat on and the basement dry. so, it's -- it will be interesting to see how he navigates because he can't neglect and just turn away from laws he doesn't like. so, when we turn to the tax

code, he now has learned as he also said yesterday, oh, there are laws that govern how congress works. that's just how it is. so, maybe if this has been a learning episode for president trump when he looks at tax code issues, he may be more willing to understand that you can't blame other people for giving you advice. >> yeah, there may be a lot of people -- >> you have to understand how washington works. >> gotcha, lynn. >> errol, people watching who has obamacare saying it works for me. what do you mean you allow it to explode. the cbo report, we should point out, says that obamacare is not collapsing under its own weight. but representative chris had this to say about what he suspects could take down the aca and he believes it's republicans. take a listen. >> there's rulings that the secretary of health and human services can make that would deny some of the reimbursement

standards for insurance that would remove some of the impact of the mandate. they've already been trying to make changes to the affordable care act that will make it harder for it to survive. >> is there any indication, errol, that there are deliberate actions being taken to accelerate the failure of obamacare and, if so, what does that mean for people who have it? >> it's troubling, of course. but we do know at the local level and not just through administrative actions and even the states, we've seen over and over again if they don't want to create their own exchange to sort of help people find their way to affordable health care, they don't have to do it. we know that with the medicaid expansion, they can either take it or leave it and many states have left it. so, yes, there's going to be a continued battle over whether or not government should be involved in helping individuals and individual families cope with the enormous complexity and cost and heart break and disaster that can attend trying to get health care for themselves and their loved ones.

i'm not sure exactly how long it's going to take before people realize that the public expects the government to be on their side when it comes to dealing with all of this stuff. but, you know, there are folks who are making a political career out of trying to deny that. they tried again yesterday. it failed. but i expect them to try, again. >> gloria borger said at one point before this that donald trump take s names. there may be some enemies he will pinpoint in this vote that did not happen. is there any sense that paul ryan pulled the vote in some sense to protect some of his colleagues? >> no, because the white house has the whip count and so our viewers know, that's an insider term for the count of counting noses for how people are going to vote. i think the reason you pull a vote is to avoid a more embarrassing exposure of a public rift. and that's why you didn't have

the role call so it could be used even more forcefully against people who are members of the house. but now the white house knows, trump knows and if he wants to retaliate, he can. but when we talk about medicaid right now, the most important person is the little known new appointee of the director of medicame medicare and medicaid who has extensive authority and i'm bringing this up under errol's point to grant state wavers. it's been routine for states to ask for some latitude in putting out their rules for medicaid programs and it will be now even more interesting to look at what she is doing in helping make things work rather than throwing up road blocks. >> all righty. errol lewis, lynn sweet, always appreciate your perspectives. thank you for being here. the next big item on the

president's agenda. tax reform. house speaker ryan telling the country that the gop health care laws will make changing the tax code much more difficult, but not impossible. also, more drama on capitol hill over the trump/russia investigation. the house intel chair cancels next week's public hearing and the top democrat calling for an the top democrat calling for an independent commission now. the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income... we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges. today, unlimited gets the network it deserves. verizon.

administration. let's bring in jack kingston cnn political commentator and trump supporter with adviser to the campaign and transition team. good morning. >> good morning. >> the president saying yesterday in the oval office, i have a lot of time. nobody said 64 days when he said on day one. >> i think there is a reality here that so often in politics we say we're going to do it immediately and we're going to get it done on the first day because that's what our crowds want to hear and we get somewhat caught in the moment and you have to deal with 435 very strong egos in congress and 170 members of the senate and then 120 million constituencies that are out there who take healthcare very personally and i think what we've learned now is that number one healthcare is extremely difficult. number two -- >> the president said that he, who knew it was so complicated. he now knows. >> you're right on that. i think the other thing, though, it's not rigged.

that's one thing that all americans should say. you know what, we can't accuse the gop of having some slick back room deal that they cram down it shows it is a very democratic with a small d process. but number three -- >> some people who would argue against that that there were no amendments initially accepted or offered and this process took about 60 days or so from the start of the administration to the point that it wasn't viable. >> well, yes. and you're right on that. you know, this was a top down approach and had it gone through, people could have said it was rigged. it did not go through because the grassroots members said, no. this hasn't been processed properly. to me, it gets to point number three. is this a great opportunity for the gop to say lesson learned from here on out we're going to go through regular order and have lots of field hearings and lots of amendments and try to do everything we can to bring democrats on board and certainly get our own team, moderates and

conservatives together. >> let's talk about something else that the president said yesterday in the oval office. let's watch and then we'll talk. >> i've been saying for the last year and a half that the best thing we can do politically speaking is let obamacare explode. it's imploding and soon will explode. and it's not going to be pretty. so, the democrats don't want to see that. so they're going to reach out when they're ready. >> you know, jack, i read really interesting interview from 2013 where this congressman who was running for senate offered to fix and he said this, a lot of conservatives say let's just step back and let this thing fall to pieces on its own. i don't think that's always the responsible thing to do. that congressman was jack kingston. is the president's suggestion here the responsible thing to do? >> i think it's only responsible if he means the threat of it. if he means the reality of it, then you're going to have

millions of people who will be without health ca witho withouthealthcare and not a good thing for america. >> are the words empty then? if he just means the threat and doesn't intend to go through with it? >> i don't think he intends to go through with it. bernie sanders on cnn last night said the premiums and the deductibles are too high. every democrat and republican will admit that. premiums are going up and premiums are too high and the deductibles for some families are as high as 10% of their household income. so, if the president is saying, you know, it's not sustainable, it will collapse. so, let's all get together and do something. i think then that's a positive statement. >> one more thing, jack. you know, the president throughout the campaign and since he's been in office has described the "washington post" as phony and dishonest and everybody knows that he says calls "new york times" the failing "new york times." but who did the president call

as soon as the bill was pulled "the washington post" and "new york times." why? >> i'm not exactly sure. i think he just wanted to get the information out. i think with the president and i think many of us in politics probably all of us is that, you know, who was your enemy on monday might not be your enemy on tuesday and they may be your friend by wednesday and, so, i think philosophies shift in terms of alliances. >> and that applies to negotiating large pieces of legislation, as well. jack kingston, thanks so much. >> great to be with you guys. >> all right. well, the white house and house republicans say the health care battle is over for you as we were discussing. president trump discussing let it explode as victor talked about. still the question about what about the millions of republicans who say they're suffering under obamacare as it is. who should be responsible for saving it in that regard? the once friendly conservative media now turning

well, good morning to you. 28 minutes past the hour. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. the biggest defeat of president trump's administration. the republicans plan to repeal and replace obamacare and died before it got a vote on the house floor. shortly after what president trump declared, let obamacare explode. >> the president and house speaker paul ryan now say that they want to move on. they want to tackle tax reform. but both concede their job of rewriting the tax code just got significantly tougher. our dana bash pressed speaker ryan on what he and his fellow congressmen should tell the american people now. >> mr. speaker, you all swept

the house, won the majority with the promise to repeal obamacare. the majority in the senate with obamacare. the white house with the promise to repeal obamacare. how do you go home to your constituents and send all your members home to their constituents saying, you know what, it's not even 100 days into the administration. sorry, folks, we just can't figure it out. >> dana, it's a very good question. i wish i had a better answer for you. i believe obamacare is a law that is collapsing and hurting families and it was designed in a fundamentally flawed way. and we just didn't quite get the consensus to get there. and the blame game has already started with the white house publicly pointing the finger at democrats, not at speaker ryan. let's talk now about the implications here. errol lewis, cnn political commentator and political commentator and lynn sweet bureau chief for "washington

sun-times." we were talking about "oceans 11" earlier where don cheedal and the gang and turn off that alarm and say, you had one job. right. i feel like there are people who will talk to these members of congress and say we sent you there for one job and they did not get it done. >> i loved that movie. okay. i loved that you bring it up. but in the end, they were able to pull off the heist. >> that's true. >> so, if you look at getting the job done, what trump was trying to do was change the subject and say, i got four years. only 64 days. sooner or later we'll get it done. no, it doesn't work like that when you make the promise you made. that's why they didn't have the vote. it it would have been more put in concrete the members who disagree. now, having said that, you can't

pretend that this has not been a central, central calling card of the republicans and they couldn't get it done. they couldn't figure out not just consensus, they couldn't figure out a way to have a path forward that even could strip off a few democrats just in case. that's what legislatures do. the only number that counts, that counted friday was 216 votes. everybody knew that going in. it was a big learning curve for the president and that is going to be not ignored by people in these districts who did say we sent you to repeal obamacare and you couldn't do that. much less a replacement which is why this is going to be so important as to whether or not the trump administration is willing to mend it as it goes along. >> so, zachary, let's talk about that point. this becomes less and less likely and the closer you get you get to the midterms.

is obamacare repeal, is the repeal off the table. do they just have to move on? >> well, that's what they're saying and that's their big ultimatum leading into this is that they had to tell their members this is your one shot to do this. so, you have to do it. >> the president said we have a better plan and better bill coming. hate to jump in, but i want to offer that, as well. >> sure, they can certainly come back and in the future say this is what we're going to do. but, you know, the sting of this is not going to leave them. i think a lot of democrats will certainly be happy heading into the midterms with it. as far as repercussions repeal meant a lot of different things to different people and the question is, are republican voters understand nuances full repeal to partial appeal and budget reconciliation. >> errol, we talked about how difficult for the president and the speaker to deal with such a

diverse republican party when you have the tuesday group on one end and the freedom caucus on another. but congress is also dealing with the president who does not subscribe to any traditional republican orthodox. if you can bring in the conservatives and they'll get me a w, if we could bring in the moderates and we'll give them what they need. may be hard for them, as well, negotiate moving forward on tax reform on the budget and other items with this president. >> well, that's right. ironically, i think, victor, the president himself pointed out his own path to victory in the future. which is he said we couldn't get one democratic vote. well, how hard did he try? to the extent that he wants to pin all his hopes on the republicans resolving these deep fishers within their own party which they've been unable to deal with for the last four cycles themselves. he's going to be tied to a lot of frustration and possibly a lot more failures to come-on the other hand, because much of what he has called for really

involved keeping some keep portions of obamacare. bring in some democratic ideas to sort of break the stranglehold that the freedom caucus has over the republican party. he really might have spent on his way to shaking up politics and actually getting a win. to the extend that he ties himself to the same sort of poisonous dynamics that brought down the last speaker and brought paul ryan to power. he's in, like i said, for a lot of frustration. >> let's start there, zachary, with the paul ryan power. there is talk breitbart some of the conservative outlets of uncertainty of ryan's future. how far does that go? he didn't want the job, but only person they can build the consensus around. is his speakership in jeopardy and who could get the votes from this diverse caucus?

>> hard to imagine who could sort of step into that paul ryan role. he really did own it. and, in part, because he didn't want the job. i think that's what made him an effective candidate because people were convincing him from different factions of the republican party. i'm not sure who exactly could step in. i think it's a little bit early to be talking about that until we start seeing actual challenges formulate. but, you know, you could see somebody challenge him and get the issue on the house floor and then somebody else step in. but, again, i think it's a little bit early. as far as the larger part, let's take into account this was going to be the easy thing for republicans to do because they only needed republican support from everything else on their agenda, they'll need democrats in the senate is to help them. >> yeah. we heard from the speaker yesterday where paul ryan said i'm not going to sugar coat this, this was disappointing.

it seems like a sugar coat to call it disappointing and potentially not devastating for the caucus. >> i think many times in congress and nothing is really ever dead ever. but paul ryan unlike some people in the trump camp might want to see him fail. let's think 2020, the two biggest republicans in town, vice president mike pence, speaker ryan, if he wildly succeeds and if he's seen as the leader, he could be a threat to president trump. >> all right. talk about the primary. lynn sweet, errol lewis, zachary wolf, thank you all. ukrainian officials convinced russia was behind a shocking murder that happened in broad daylight. the question this morning, was the victim targeted because he criticized the kremlin? we have a live report from moscow for you, next. plus humilitating catastrophe. catching heat from the right wing media. what the criticism means for the

of the shooting. i do want to just give our viewers the heads up. some is disturbing. fred, please, walk us through what happened. >> yeah, absolutely christi. it is quite graphic video from a surveillance video in kiev, which is in the center of that city. i stayed at that hotel a couple of times. essentially what appears to be happening is they're walking towards that hotel and then the killer comes from behind. first of all, shoots the body guard and then shoots him point blank, we know, killing him. afterwards the body guard who was only lightly wounded in this attack returns fire against the killer and we know now that the killer later died of his injuries in the hospital. so, you're absolutely right. graphic video,er but seems to show pretty clearly what happened there. as this investigation is going on by the ukrainian authorities. you already mentioned the fact that the ukraine cian president

he was working for russian security forces. the russians for saying that is nonsense. christi? >> what do we know about the victim, i should say. >> yeah, you know, dennis voro and became a ukrainian citizen last year and became highly critical of russia and of vladimir putin. he said things were going badly in crimia and there is talk that he wanted to testify in the case against viktor yanukovych who had to plea ukraine in 2014 and some who speculate that that may

have been the motive for his killing. but, again, the russians are saying an investigation needs to happen first. any sort of allegations against them are untrue. christi. >> fred, thank you so much for walking us through that. we appreciate it. so, it is no surprise that democrats are criticizing the president's failed health care bill, but now some of the president's supporters conservative media outlets are turning on him, as well. we'll show you some of the explosive headlines. so tell us your big idea for getting the whole country booking on choice hotels.com.

well, the once friendly conservative media that championed president trump's agenda is now criticizing the gop's failed health care bill. conservative website drudge report called the fallout a republican catastrophe. >> and breitbart predicting that president trump can bounce back but the site blames speaker's ryan for yesterday's big loss. that is something yesterday the president did not do. he pointed the finger at the democrats. cnn's media analyst bill carter with us now. so, bill, president, he can make some adversaries in the conservative media now. it seems, as well.

i want to look at what conservative pundit laura engram said. she got on twitter and said this, in 2016, real donald trump won the election by being bold. this health care bill was not bad. whoever told him it was didn't serve him well. she went on to say it looks like real donald trump and hillary clinton have something in common. both were tripped up on health care. did she have a point, in your opinion? >> well, she's making the point, obviously, that it didn't work. from her point of view, she promised this and it didn't come to fruition. the thing is that with the conservative media they're so idelogically pure that they don't give an inch. in order to get legislation passed, you have to deal with compromise. they don't like compromise and so they get back to the point where the party know. that was what plagued obama and now going to plague trump. they do not like things that are

not on particularly their agenda. interestingly, he's talking about maybe he should bring in some democrats to get something out of this and they'll hate him for that because then he'll look like -- >> i want to get your opinion, too, on what you make of the fact that donald trump has spent months calling "the new york times" fake news and, yet, it was "new york times" and "washington post" whom he called to let them know, hey, we're pulling the vote on this. >> well, two things. first of all, the conservative media was giving him trouble and the freedom caucus was his biggest problem. so turned to conservative media there to give his explanation. only get blow back for that. he goes to the real mead i abecause he still respects them. he knows where to get his message out for the entire country. you know, at some point a president becomes a president for the whole country. not just for his constituency and maybe he's thinking about in this case he bent way far to the right trying to satisfy the

freedom caucus and that didn't work either. i think he went to the media that he knows is respectful and will be objective and give him some sort of fair analysis of what really happened. >> after this loss, i mean, you're talking about what he's learning in these first 65 days about government as opposed to say business. how do you, do you think, i should maybe ask, we will see a different kind of president trump as a negotiator moving forward. >> well, he thinks about it. i do think he'll come to the conclusion that he has to bring in all the sides. i don't think he's an idelog the sway some thought he was and he kept saying this bill would cover everybody. it would be a perfect bill and so far from that in every way that i think he has to drop back and say, maybe we need something that brings in more people. by the way, he doesn't understand or pay attention to all details of this. i think he feels failed by the people who are pushing this agenda and i think he will come to the conclusion that he has to

reach out and bring in democrats and bring in people with different opinions if he's going to get anything done. >> you're talking about the fact that he delegated so to speak more than he, more than he governed himself. do you think that's going to change? >> well, in every meeting that we saw detailed in several of the postmortems here, we were talking about we need a win for our team. we need a win for our team. he wasn't getting down in the weeds because he didn't ever understand the full parameters of the policies. that's not his thing and i don't think he ever could sit there and take an exam and pass on what was in the bill or not. he just was looking for a win for the team. >> i don't know if you were in front of your tv, bill, during any of the ncaa games but there was an ad and several ads that ran, virginia, iowa, texas, during the basketball game. let's take a look here. >> republicans are keeping their promise with a new plan for better health care. more choices and lower costs.

putting doctors and patients in charge, again. no more big government penalties or job killing mandates. new tax credits to make insurance cheaper and real protukz protupr protections for people with pre-existing conditions. replacing the affordable care act with the better health care you deserve. >> all right, so that was prematurely bought and run by american action network. what do you make of the fact that they were so convinced this was going to pass. >> well, you know, so was villa nova and duke. they were confident in the tournament, too. that doesn't make sense to put that ad out before it happens. barbara comstock was going to vote against it. it looks so foolish. don't stick your head out in

politic politics. we'll be right back. draw the line. one spray of roundup® max control 365 kills weeds to the root and keeps 'em away for up to one year. roundup® max control 365.

>> don't go anywhere "smerconish" is waiting for you right now. i'm michael smerconish in philadelphia. we welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. you couldn't make this stuff up. after seven years of hollow votes, president trump forced to pull the gop health care bill from the house before its likely defeat. i'll tell you the real reason i think it failed. plus, this was a big week with regard to the presumed russian meddling in our election complete with the attempted criminalization of the collection of incidental u.s. intelligence. so, will partisan politics now prevent us from learning the truth? and governor arnold schwarzenegger told me there was a book i needed to read. it's called,
