be changed and i am an advocate of the change for the chevron case. it is very bad when congress writes a law that you expect the courts to interpret that law according to what congress wrote but all of a sudden, through judicial writings they say it is ok for us as a court, we ought to accept the administrators' judgment of what that law, what --gress intended to intended. iswhat do you see your role as chairman? >> to see that it goes smoothly, that people stay within their time limit, number two, that when they asked question of the nominee, he ought to be able to give an answer without being interrupted, and to make sure things go smoothly. >> what advice would you give to some of the younger members on the committee who may be in their first supreme court hearing? >> yeah.

surevice would be to make that you are asking very basic questions about the role of the judge. >> thank you for your time. have live coverage of the three-day hearing starting 11 on c-span2 and you can find it online at c-span.org and streaming on the c-span radio app. back at the white house today, members of the republican study commission in the house met with president trump in the oval office. >> we appreciate president trump having us here to the overall -- of office to talk about the improvements have been made. the president said ring us your best ideas and these are members of the republican study committee and worked in a diligent way to get to our yes on this bill with the changes

that the president has asked us to make that we are going to make in the bill and with that we want to lead it off to the chairman of the republican study to many, mark walker. >> it is historic knowing we are getting a couple of important things to the steering committee members, work requirements throughout the country and something that we call block grants which allows the states to be empowered. we believe they should be able to hold the reins when it comes to managing their population. we think this would provide more coverage for the sick and disabled. we are excited about it today and that is what we came to celebrate the american health care act moving forward with a yes. these are folks that were either a nomura may be. we had a nice meeting. this happened over the last 20 minutes. this has been going all night long. we are doing some incredible things. i want everyone to know i am 100% behind this, i want

everybody to know that the press has not been speaking properly about how great this is going to be. they have not been giving it a fair press. the press is as you know in many cases, i call it the fake news. fake news. this is going to be great for people. i watch, i say that is not the bill we are passing and i also want everyone to know that all or potential no's are yeses. we made certain changes. frankly very little although the block grant is important because it with the states to if the money and run the program if they want to run it. they can do it better for -- than the federal government. they are better equipped. obamacare is dead. it is a dead health care plan. it is not even a health care plan, frankly, and i watched a architect of the plan where he said the american people are

stupid to have voted for it. i watched bill clinton saying this is the craziest thing i've ever seen. only because everyone knows it is on its last dying feet. the fake news is trying to say good things about it. fake media. and there is no news about obamacare. obamacare is dead. unless we gave it massive subsidies and a year from now or six months, it is not even going to be here. when they say more people are in the plan, there is not going to be any people on the plan. half of the state has no insurance company and the other half is going to lose the insurance companies. people do not know what to do. it is a disaster. obamacare is dead. nothing to do with these people, nothing to do with me, it is on respirator and it is just about ready to implement. we could wait for six months or year and let it happen. it is not the right thing to do for the people. this is a great plan, this is going to be fantastic, you're ding on oneve bid

level by the insurance companies, the member this, the lies are going to come out, you will have bidding by the insurance companies, plans will come out that no one has thought of, they will be devised i the insurance companies to take care of people. we are going to take care of people at all levels. i want to let the world know i am 100% in favor, these folks and they are tough, and they love their constituents and they love this country. no's, mostlyere no's yesterday. now every single one is a yes. i want to thank you, we're going ishave a health care plan going to be second to none, it is going to be great and the people will see that. by the way, it will take a little while because before it all kicks in and welts together

it takes a little while. with obamacare it got worse and worse. the premiums went up 106 team percent, they went up 58%, the governor of minnesota said the affordable care act, obamacare is no longer affordable. that is what he said. the affordable care act is no longer affordable. he is a guy that, he is a good democrat, he wanted obamacare, he said it is no longer affordable. obamacare is not an alternative, it is not there, it is dead. i just want to say thank you very much, i really appreciate it. are yeses and's some were strong no's, we had a couple that were mixed. i want to thank you folks and we will have a great, great health care plan. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. president.
