>> guest: there's some evidence to what you say is true. again, i don't think it can take president trump's first statement as the real position. he maybe doesn't realize he's can't delay negotiating so we are going to use american deal. that is not going to hold. what the president is trying to do is get sarah is to the world trade markets. most of the free trade agreements are trying to allow us to get into those nations. they shipped is free of charge, so we haven't been able to compete back your debts of the president was saying to have a level playing field when we allow the u.s. oil to be exported for the first time in 40 years. the deal past year and a half ago. one of the most romantic things in the oil industry. the oil market took it back from saudi arabia. again, i see some positive movement in the free market to send your describing.

>> host: steve pearce, republican from new mexico in the financial services committee. always appreciate you coming back. ask a thank you, great. >> host: to enter program, we will revisit this question about republican effort to overhaul the health care system in the affordable care act. you can start calling income especially if you watched the hearings overnight in the ways and means committee and energy and commerce committee. you can begin calling and as we take our viewers live to the energy and commerce committee for a roll call vote is underway on another amendment they been considering this morning. >> this is -- mrs. brooks notes now. mr. mullen both now. mr. had been. [roll call]

[roll call] [roll call] [roll call]

[roll call] [roll call] [roll call] >> i know we have members coming back. that was a shorter debate ends unanticipated. the gentleman from texas. mr. johnson. >> mr. johnson both know.

>> host: those are the members of faces in congress added for nearly 24 hours now and energy and commerce committee began at 1030 yesterday morning. still, many amendment yet to get through. i'm clear yet exactly when they are expected to lead. if you want to watch me. in its entirety on republican repeal and replacement though, head over to c-span. we are here on c-span2 until 10 at it this morning. until then, we want to take your calls on republican effort to repeal and replace the affordable care act. find the democrats transfixed. republicans turned the event -- 202-748-8001. independent 202-748-8002. we watch her thoughts on the overnight hearing and the effort underway by republicans feared a few tweets inside the hearing room. i am camping chair overnight, maybe morning he says, but we've

been up all night in the house energy and commerce committee working together to reform our health care system. 18 hours and counting when he said that tweets. more from democrat jerry mcnerney. now heading into the 23rd hour of the energy and commerce markup. fighting to protect our care. again, watch that live on c-span or hear about it and the absurd here. kay and alexandria, virginia appeared a democrat. good morning. >> caller: hi, how are you doing? >> host: are you with us? go ahead. >> caller: first of all, i want to know why these are not going to be released for how many people will be without health care.

i want to find out from him, does he have any statistics as to how many jobs, how many american jobs are being taken away from americans. and also, to follow up with that, does he know how many americans car services. if you can give me some statistics on this. the reason why most people voted on whatever issues and misinformation. they just told one of the callers that americans are not being laughed at. yes, americans are, in europe and elsewhere. america is actually on the fact that there is diversity. that makes america great. people like you will come attending issue.

and i made the plan. it's just talking about this debate continuing after the overnight series. we saw the ways and means committee and neither debate about 4:15 this morning, and in their markup the american health care bill and ongoing. kentucky, republican. deborah, good morning. >> caller: hi, i'm somewhat concerned about the reporting about the new health care that's going to be passed for people 50 years and over paying five times the premium of what they are paying now. and i'm also concerned about this immigration thing. i think they need -- illegals

need to be out of this country. they are coming in illegally and stuff. there's a reason they are coming in a legal. if they've got something to hide, it is why they are coming in illegally. if they want to come in this country, i was taught when i went to elementary school, there is a procedure to go through before you could become a u.s. citizen, before you are allowed to get here. they need to make those to where it needs to go back to the old school. >> host: on the first part of your comments and premium issue, here's what i can tell you about the american health care bill courtesy of the comparison between the republican bill and the affordable care act. the republican bill would change the way subsidies are distributed by using agents by using age instead of income as a way to calculate how much people received. tax credits available to

individuals using less than $75,000, that they would be capped for higher earners pay the subsidy would be $2000 for a person under 30, double that for people over 60. the bill would spend a health care plan that qualify for subsidies. we've also spent some time yesterday on our program breaking down some of these issues with representative, one of the reporters, julie wagner covering this extensively. if you want to go back and watch her comment or not, that segment available c-span.org maxine, independent, good morning. >> good morning. thank you so much for c-span over the years. my comments are about the health care situation. our constitution, i wish he would contain one where word.

the word would be simplify, simplify, simplify. congress is not at all simplified on this matter. my next point is they talk about giving people choice, free choice. there's one thing about which we have no choice. we have no choice about having a body. we all have a body and all bodies break down with time one way or the other. there's no choice. my last thought is i resent the private insurers earning money and my stockholders earning money on my health. i do believe they should be discussing health instead of discussing tax is and all other financial and taxi matters on health. >> host: before you go, i'm your first question, republicans talking a lot on the simplify

issue about the size of their bills in the affordable care act. something around 130 pages or so of their bill versus the nearly dozen pages of the affordable care act that show them side-by-side often. if that campaign that you like about this bill? >> caller: simply show and tell. i was very unimpressed with mr. spencer's presentation. you don't hear mention of how ended doesn't sound simple when you hear the series. thank you. >> host: kevin is in arkansas. republican, kevin, good morning. >> caller: yes, i'm republican. obviously just said that. i said that about two other republicans, especially the

congressmen. i noticed last night, late at night, almost 1:00 in the morning. i was still watching c-span. i heard during the debate about a tax cut of nearly, i think for people who are neither 200 come in $250,000 or more. but since i've been watching the rest of that, if not heard anything about any other tax-cut included in this bill. i just want to know for republicans, will we see tax-cut for other classes besides high earners. >> host: what kept you going all night? why so much interest? >> caller: well, this is a big deal for a lot of people. i'm 31 years old. i'm starting to lose my health.

and so it's become an important thing for me also. >> host: kevin, thanks for the call. mary, franklin, tennessee. democrat good good morning. >> caller: hi. i hope you don't get mad at me, but i am so furious about that lady that called in. this greedy, godless, racist country. somebody has to do some rain. i'm a catholic. i was taught to love my neighbor. they are wasting their time on those silly debate. the republicans keep taking all of, you know -- >> host: the amendment is filed. >> caller: i am just sick over what has gone on in our country. >> host: mary, on the amendments filed comments in his i'm not. democrats have about 40 to 50

amendments that they filed. they've gone through about 12 of them. in terms of timing, the latest we can say on this is perhaps another four hours or so live on c-span if you want to watch it. we at the "washington journal" today on c-span2 because the overnight session congress committee continues. john, springfield, virginia. go ahead. >> caller: good morning. as a comment more so than a question. i've been a republican my entire life. the runtime is executive vice president conservative majority and major supporter of ronald reagan. i have to say even as the republic can with all the obamacare that the republicans did before was voted into law, they seem to have no willingness whatsoever to listen to the other side as far as marking up this particular plan from the gop.

there proves to me once again congress is no longer congress. it's two parties. i'm a firm believer in george washington. but anyone who affiliates themselves the party ran for office is creating treason in the process. we are no longer a government. we are two parties trying to maintain control and they completely ignored anything anyone on the other side has to say, whether being liberal or conservative. i think it's time to wake up and realize they were voted in by the people, for the people and they need to stop their own personal agendas and political propaganda and begin working for the people as a staunch republican for 40 years, and at the point now where i'm totally fed up with both sides of congress. >> host: do remember watching the health care debate 2009-2010? did you feel the lack of the two parties to work together during those debates?

>> caller: i saw little bit more willingness on the part of the democrats to attend some of the pages are public is proposed. it was still a cat and dog fight. they are not working together. they do everything they can to make the other part of the bat, regard this as something they suggest has merit or not. it's got to the point where it like two kids, one for dallas and then once they read in span. the redskins fan you hate the cowboys in the cowboys and the cowboys indicate the red and then there's no talking to you. that's the political parties have begun. polarized vehicles of our government they cannot work together. some he needs to be done and i'm not sure where the power is in our government to accomplish it because the federal government has already been served many of the powers in the constitution reserved for the state. so they are not even used in the constitution anymore in the way it was meant to be used. they are using it to their advantage as opposed to the

advantage of the people. >> host: john, springfield, virginia. talk about the energy and commerce committee hearing to mark up the health care bill as well as the overnight hearing in the ways and means committee. energy and commerce is still going on now. not too long ago, debbie dingell saying she is in the market. congresswoman or michigan. in america, preparing to offer an amendment to protect senior access to long-term care. encouraging viewers to watch live on c-span. the take our viewers live now. >> term services and supports. most americans are unable to afford to cover their long-term care needs out of pocket. most americans rely on medicaid to access these services and medicaid pays for more than 50% of all long-term services and support in america. we are talking primarily nursing home here. for that reason, why is

concerned with the republican proposal to change medicaid as we know it. such changes could restrict access to important services and leave seniors with nowhere to turn. family caregivers are stretched to capacity providing services to loved ones. in fact come across the country, 17% of working adults provide unpaid care for family members or friends. with approximately 10,000 seniors turning 65 each day and with projections that more than 70% of individuals over the age of 65 will need long-term care, it is clear the birds of long-term care will only increase. that's why we have to protect the services they medicaid as well as identify another reliable catastrophic option to pay for long-term care coverage. we talked a lot and provide for long-term care without having to go through to spend on probation, which we both afford.

that's why in addition to assuring the republican plan does not harm seniors, they harm seniors, they call for comprehensive long-term services and support financing system in this country. this amendment would reauthorize critical programs and incentive by states to provide more services in the home, help change the balance to allow more seniors to access home and community-based services so they can age in the home. i urge my colleagues who feel that we must provide not only long-term services to nursing homes that are good and beneficial, but also home care alternatives to it if you believe in that come you should support this amendment and support protecting the health and retirement security for seniors and their families. i yield to the gentleman from maryland. >> host: that amendment that congressman frank alone is talking about of about four dozen amendment that democrats still have to talk about today.

unclear when the energy and commerce committee hearing is going to end. it began at 10:00 yesterday morning and we are approaching 23 hours at this point. head on over to c-span or stay here on c-span2 with us until 10:00. berman's been waiting independent. >> my comment is americans are the losers. the reason i say this as there is no way someone who doesn't have an idea of what is going on to make changes. they are not patient. they're just regular people who make calls. the reason they are so much stuff as they have no idea what they're doing. they don't know what is the problem. apparently based on they have no idea what they're doing. my recommendation would be, why

don't they use the va system? it has a stabilization work they can stop and make it fair or pick up things from whatever part to me what people need and what people don't need. unless they do that, americans will be the losers. >> host: when bernie, maryland, republican. good morning. how do you think republicans have handled this repeal and replace process so far? >> caller: well, i think would be a whole lot better if they get together on the repeal started things. when it comes to health care, medicare is something that goes hand-in-hand when we pay for that. they earn their money and pay our taxes.

medicaid is basically health care that goes hand-in-hand with welfare and do something that is for those that can't afford and have no access to should only be if you're actively looking to try to get into the workforce if you're just sitting there, you should be getting anything. before that, a free-market and people wanted insurance, they bought it or they had an employer that had insurance. they had the option to take it or not. you know, this idea of telling people they have to buy a product is like telling somebody that has no-space, donated vehicle because they've lived next-door to their job if they have to go out and buy a new ford pickups and they can afford

the payment they have money to use it or not. it doesn't work. no place in health care at all. >> host: what about the people who show up at the hospital and don't have insurance but have a life-threatening medical condition. what should happen to them under your system? >> your programs work they don't have insurance, there's paperwork they can fill out. if they don't have it or can't afford it, they help assist. it shouldn't be an entitlement. the government has no place. everybody is not entitled to health care just because they are here. that is insane that shouldn't be forced either. >> host: the systems that you sign up for that you are just talking about that could help them without insurance, did that become the entitlement program

people take advantage of? >> caller: well, no. some of that is taking care a through the house bills. some of that is taking care of two different programs through donors to the hospital and i believe there are other parts of it that are taking care of state, local and i believe publicly part of the medicaid budget within the states. again, that goes to the thing out if someone doesn't have it, they apply for it and if they are eligible income lines, you have to meet certain eligibility is to be able to get that. some other things the government needs to control in our life. you've got states where they're

trying to tell you you can't smoke while you're going down the road in the car. you can't do that they are. everybody's got to have a seat and everybody has their own opinion of things. i wear my helmet by choice. there are states where you have the options where or where not by choice. you have to, even though i still continue to wear it because it's my choice to wear it. >> host: the editorial board of "the wall street journal" today asks whether the gop alternatives? they write by all means take to help health care bill flaws but the political strategies won't work, saying that a stand-alone repeal is unlikely to pass in the senate. not the least because republicans ran on repeal and replace, not repeal the period

that gave republican critics the benefit of the doubt and say repeal could only get it centered though. they have been led. gop would have to move a replacement to on threshold of the 60 senate votes absent the reconciliation process they work under. good luck. republicans are going to 2018 at 2018 at america with obamacare without a replacement plan. if you want to read the editorial board comments about the republican strategy and the republican opposition we've seen to the health care bill, today's "wall street journal." ron, spring hill, florida. good morning. >> caller: good morning. and god for c-span. i'm on medicare, so all this focus to going on in washington now is not going to affect me, at least right now. talking about repealing obamacare and replacing it, they are not going to replace it.

they say will give everybody access. everybody's had access to health care in the past and they couldn't afford it. i got access to buy a rolls-royce or lamborghini. that doesn't mean i could buy one. most all of the discussions about republicans save money and not tell people. in the health care system. obama did so much for this country. i don't care what the other party say. if you listen to talk radio,. we wouldn't be having this discussion if it wasn't for obama. >> host: arlington, texas. independent. good morning. >> caller: yes, what i'm seeing is a bait and switch going on here that trump says that everything is going to be better. we will replace it with something better. but then, you know, now it's going to be in three phases. first of all, we withdraw and

for obamacare. what are we going to do about all of these people that don't have representative services, turn up lifetime caps, pregnant women. basically, what people don't realize is everybody's on obamacare to some extent. we are all affected by it. a lot of the problems we've had with obamacare is the way that it's implemented. there is late a company could decide we are only going to go with the bronze plan, which is good. certain benefits are guaranteed, but it's bad because they can take it out and say will only go with bronson though you have these huge copayments ended up the bulls. i think that there's so many

different things working here. the humanity is one other person that is not in the picture that we are looking at ces, but cannot number is. a lot of insurers and were not looking at people. >> host: in terms of the numbers the members of congress are hoping to get and look at at the congressional budget office, does they are scoring a though some legislation. there's been a lot of criticism from democrats as hearings progress overnight at the markups went forward without the cbo score as it's been called to senator levin, democrat from michigan in the ways and means committee hearing. this was yesterday, asking why they didn't wait for the cbo scoring.

>> what are you afraid of? are you afraid of the answers to the questions i propose that the rate of uninsured will go up, that they will be a lower tax credit for numerous people millions, that there will be disruption of the private insurance market, that the impact of eliminating expanded medicaid will hurt millions and millions of families and that the impact of endgame for capping medicaid on long-term care and kids who have special needs and other children that that impact will be substantial. why not wait for full information to the light of day and instead preceding darkness? >> let's not rewrite history. you claim you had cbo estimate.

you did not. you had a letter and it wasn't even based on the bill. it was based on specifications by a three committee working group and it turned out to be the estimates were wildly wrong. so, if you're asking us to follow democrat approach of a bad bill received had cbo analysis by a badly estimated cbo letter, we are not following that approach. we are going to allow cbo to have a thorough deliberate analysis with this 50 plus page provision as well as energy and commerce that you will have that full analysis before this bill ultimately goes to the house. >> host: that ways and means committee hearing ended at 4:17 a.m. this morning after nearly 18 hours energy and commerce committee hearing is ongoing. their markup on the legislation will hit 24 hours at 10:35 and

37 seconds. that's when they began yesterday. we will see what time and today. taking your calls and comments. santa fe to eat if you would like to join the conversation. viewers do throughout our program today. here is one from laura who writes in trump carries a risk to get rid of medicare and what she believes across the water. no chance of passage in the senate. go back to the board. republican states will be punished under brian care. especially older people. glory hath in columbia, maryland. good morning. >> caller: good morning. how are you guys doing? >> host: doing well. >> caller: i am a republican because i'm a christian. i believe life is important and it's a gift. but i have to agree with the

other person that it's about bodies. some guy called and said what about a car if you don't have to buy a car, no it's going to force you. guess what, we didn't have much choice. we are kind of bored with the body. and if we care as republicans come at the main reason i'm a republican is because i'm against abortion. how can we not care about the health when after all it is a temple of god? do we as patients forget it is a temple of god you know we care about is how this not an option. somebody said help is not a guarantee. well, it should be can iterating we didn't choose. so many people want to worship and go to church on sunday and they want to pass laws for that. >> host: how do you think that philosophy and turn it into legislation that's been applied to americans?

>> well, i think obamacare, while it was not perfect, that the other thing. people talk about this plan like somebody out there can come up with the grape with the great former everyone's happy. we all know that's not possible. there's no outcome of anything in society that makes every person happy out there. you have to look at it from the point of view of where again is a christian, you know, i don't need to have three and four homes. what about taking care of your brother? when jesus was asked what the most important commandment, he said last may, absolutely. the second one, he said love one another the way i have loved you. all the rest of the commandments hang i'm not. when did the republican party become the party of the rich? >> host: jason, santa cruz, california. good morning.

>> caller: how you doing? >> host: doing well. >> caller: it's a really crazy time. we are supposed to be a free country, right? >> host: go ahead, jason. >> caller: we are supposed to be a free country and have freedom and everything. but if we -- we can't give it away. that's not what america is built on. it's like they're expecting someone else to help them. >> host: >> host: how does that apply to health care, jason? >> caller: doing health care. 45 years old and i'm in santa cruz, california. i can hardly get it. i don't want to pay taxes and do the benefits of everything.

>> host: that's go to arnold in, north carolina. good morning. >> caller: can you hear me? the last lady who is talking about republicans and christians. she kind of shine the light on it. it's not christlike at all. they would be in bad shape because the first thing he was taking care of was the poor. so far as the health care bill is concerned, i think it's incredibly wrong for them to gangsta rap away from the people drifting along in this country. 25 million people, they started obamacare because so many people couldn't afford good health insurance. i just retired a year and a half

ago for almost 30 years. i had to retire early and i was the danger down the highway. i lost all my good reflexes -- a retired before then because i had no health insurance coverage. i was too young for medicare. those are my paychecks. i spam like $300, $400 a paycheck sometimes and went to get something wrong with me. it was actually just junk

insurance. before obamacare, all you could get on your jobless junk insurance. go to the hospital. do be in trouble. it's beyond how they can be so cold and callous to treat people like that. >> host: health care one of the major stories of the week. the president's executive order on travel and bedding, one of the major stories we've been following. want to give an update on that story. this from "the wall street journal" today. yesterday to fast-track consideration of the state's lawsuit challenging president trumps revised executive order on immigration or the quick initial ruling to restrict u.s. travel from six muslim majority nations. hawaii appears to be the first one again to challenge the due order in court and almost certainly appeal circuit court

of appeals that has jurisdiction over several western states. that played a central role in sinking the first executive order. last month the president could enforce about the judiciary sorted sorted out its legality. we will continue to watch that story, bring you updates. stay with us on the "washington journal" each morning. about 15 minutes left in this program before we take you to the senate for live coverage this morning. barry and port charlotte, florida. good morning. >> caller: good morning. listen, these people knew that this was coming. they knew that mr. trump is going to get an office and this was coming. i just listening to you talk about immigration. there's so much happening right now. honest to god, it's embarrassing. channels on c-span watch these

hearings. i just watched a little while ago they said i'm sorry, i was asleep. that is a problem with what is going on. take care of your people, get it done. but then get it done. quit crying. it's the same stuff every day. blah, blah, blah. >> host: give me a couple concrete example to which you want them to do. you don't want an overnight session to give her this? what are some options. >> caller: with the purpose of an overnight session? how do they get their own stuff done in the red states. how do you do it when all you want to do is argue and banter back and forth like a bunch of little kids. do you really want another solution? put them unlimited terms. that's not the issue here. the issue is on a session.

what is that going to do tomorrow? how are we going to solve that? you knew it was coming. take care of it. >> host: jack and winston, north carolina. good morning. >> caller: good morning, john. how are you? you all take a lot of baby take a lot of abuse, don't you? >> host: talking to other colors. go ahead. >> caller: it took me seven years to get a handicap status after having a huge stroke with no benefits they had to rely on the va. my wife is a nurse and pull me out of it. i watched obamacare from $450 to

1400 to $450 a month. when you're in a fixed income, it is fixing you up to be broken at the end of every month. it's not the four anyway. i have not heard anybody mention. the ones that are bedridden, in their homes. your handicap status obviously took me seven, eight years to get back with no benefit. so it's pitiful. two people that call and they say they've never been in that. they've never been exposed to it. >> host: people saying the va system has benefited them and something we should look at as a basis for overhauling national

access. >> caller: at the house of cards. there are people dying to get and in people dying to get out of the va system. they deny, delay or go away. it took me three months to be seen and then once you are seen, the doctor says coming in now, i can't figure it out in a sense they did this one and sends me to that one. there is no real solution to your medical problem. i mean, it like it took them six months. >> host: north carolina on twitter. the german health care system was invented by an american insurance professional after world war ii. there is a good system and one other from penelope says after the pursuit of happiness, would

that apply to good health, if you don't have good health community got nothing. what are their points viewers towards today in the opinion pages of "the wall street journal." republican strategist karl rove with this piece begetting of obamacare's end. he has that piece by saying some republicans stack and oppositional mindset rather than a governing one would require any replacement be 100% perfect before they would support it. otherwise they will stand with nancy pelosi and democratic defenders of obamacare. this care. as a straight conservative voters as bizarre. karl rove they are talking about some of the opposition republicans have received within their own party to the american health care bill can be marked up in the house energy and commerce committee. that expected to go on for several more hours to a live look into the energy and

commerce committee right now. democrats is something like four dozen amendment still awaiting a hearing to be talked about this morning and energy and commerce. we are talking to our viewers for the next 10 minutes before the senate comes in. ima, florida, republican. good morning. >> caller: what i want to talk about is no one is talking about how much medicare has been cut. i have a cousin whose husband has cancer. he is medicaid plus. theistic other 20% didn't cover. they no longer do. he's having treatments right now. last year, medicare would cover up to $7000 per treatment. they would have to cover the rest. this year they've already told

them they are only going to cover $4000. by medicare has been going up and up in a period and a retired federal worker. i have insurance through the fed. i started paying $188. my husband, 138 because he is also retired the federal government. we are up to $204. so he hasn't only affect the people on obamacare, he's affect that everyone. obamacare is a disaster and i think it should be taken out. for the people who think that control -- the government giving insurance to everyone. i just came back from spain. my relative was there. a system in which my husband has had cancer. they told us he didn't get the

surgery until late june because over there at the ration. that's what people want. also, the taxes are outrageous. they have it coming. >> host: jeffrey in massachusetts, independent, good morning. about this health care thing, i just want to shout out one comment. i don't get no respect. i swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. he told me to have a few drinks and get some rest. louisville, kentucky, land for democrats. good morning. >> caller: obamacare, nothing bad with obamacare. everybody likes. but i think it's great. some people say it ain't good

here in louisville. obama and i know he's the first minority president and a lot of people don't want to accept obamacare. back to romney care. it seems like he does something. they want to get rid of that. mitch mcconnell and everything. that's a shame. >> host: a few more tweaks from inside the energy and commerce committee. michael burgess, congressman from texas writing on twitter, 24 hours later has worked through reforming our health care system. the democratic congresswoman you that clark has reached the 23rd hour of the markup and the health care plan.

the house republicans still can't explain the bill. wayne's waiting in mechanicsville, virginia as a shower of viewer republican from oklahoma. go ahead. >> caller: my comment is the aca was never designed to work. it was designed failed and for people to clamor for a sent a there would be a european-style health care. a single-payer. whether or not that is what people want, that should be the real debate. thank you. >> host: it was designed so people man would want a single-payer system? go ahead.

>> caller: good morning, john. this gentle and it just though, that is to debate the fact is they do very little and make decisions after they receive our money at how much of our money they are going to distribute our health care. we really don't need that middlemen. it costs all kind of money. because we are sewed in that i'm fighting so-called socialism and making sure the private industry benefits from this. i have suspected they have something to do with campaign contribution to our automakers. nobody wants to see that this is what it is. single-payer or everything just strictly on a free market. i want to say something else. it says right in the declaration of independence, which was written by two great minds, thomas jefferson and ben franklin.
