[♪] arthel: president trump is forge ahead with his ambitious agenda after his plan to repeal and replace obamacare falls short. up next, tax reform setting the stage for more battles on capitol hill. welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm arthel neville. eric: i'm eric shawn. it's not clear how this will set the stage storm overhauling the
9:01 am
tax system. the president tweeted democrats are smiling in d.c. that the democrats have saved planned parenthood and o care. there are indications today the president could work with the most conservative members of the republican party? >> a very good question might be should he work with them? you heard the president allude to something that's important yesterday. he tried his best to support the traditional wing of the party from the platform to the state of the union address, even his supreme court nominee. but as you heard him say, loyalty in washington is a one-way street.
9:02 am
he's calling for cooperation from his conservatives and even democrats. >> this president wants to provide, make sure people don't get left behind. he wants to make sure there is competition in the marketplace so rates are lower and people can choose their doctor. if those three things are incompatible with some members of the republican house, then it will be incompatible and we need to work moderate democrats. >> that was important what he said, moderate democrats. if purchase moderate and choose to work across the aisle can you withstand the wrath of nancy pelosi and chuck schumer? eric: in light of the treats from the pot this morning there is a sense the president thinks some of the if freedom caucus members may be regretting their opposition? reporter: i don't think so. i think the mood at the white
9:03 am
house is simply speaking a better no bill than a bad bill. that seems to be reflected in the way the freedom caucus members were reacting from this white house. they didn't feel like to was enough there there to earn their support. not you question comes, what do they do? will they have their own plan or will they simply stand pat. >> did the bill repeal obamacare? no. he called it obamacare light, not me. did it bring down premiums? no. even the cbo said premiums will continue to rise for the next three years. did it unite the republican party? of course it didn't. reporter: so where is their plan? that's what the white house will be asking. but that's the hard work that should have been done before we got to this particularly. the white house said they will
9:04 am
look for a workable solution between the freedom caucus members who have con experience the bill they were shown. eric: we'll be delving into this issue in the next hour. arthel: we'll bring in caitlyn collins. white house correspondent for "the daily caller." we'll pick up on where kevin corke just left off. before anything else happens in the fix healthcare department, will president trump need to stop playing the blame game and own up to his part in the failure of what would have been trump care? >> he's play -- he's laying the blame at the feet of democrats and saying it's chuck schumer's and nancy pelosi's fault, but he's also pointing the finger at
9:05 am
the conservative caucus. the white house is saying donald trump did everything he could to get people to vote for this. but it's smart they pulled the bill in. why give members of our own party a political block eye for 2018. arthel: if he can get democrats to work with him to i am prove the affordable care act, what would that mean for his tenure as president? >> the white house is saying there is no plan b. they will let obamacare explode on its own. that's the president's word, "explode." donald trump tweeted multiple times and minutes after the bill was pulled, he said hopefully it will explode and that will teach democrats they need to reach out to republicans and form a compromise. when donald trump is the
9:06 am
president and republicans having a majority in the congress, this is a chance for the gop to create a bill that has a provision they want included. otherwise democrats will have single payer healthcare in the future. arthel: wouldn't president trump have to change his tone in terms of overtures he made to the democrats? if he wants to work with them, doesn't he have to ease that tone a bit? >> exactly. i think that was a big lesson the president learned. he was a deal maker in new york. but being a deal maker in washington is a lot different. you have to reach out to democrats. he could have used their votes in this. >> we see the tweets mentioning the democrats. speaker paul ryan seems resigned saying we are going to be living where obamacare for the foresee fabl future indicating that
9:07 am
neither he nor the president intend to the introduce new laights, but might he unhitch himself from mr. ryan and approach healthcare his way, the president's way and leave speaker ryan as a political casualty? >> that's an option. you never know what donald trump is going to do. and he may see that he has a better route if he bypasses paul ryan and does it the donald trump way. arthel: is the notion of completely replacing obamacare dead? >> i think if it is it's not going to look good for republicans. they have one on this for the better part of 10 years, and they need to follow through on their promise. when you have the chance to get rid of this, you don't get rid of it. i think they need to leave that on the table.
9:08 am
>> thank you so much for joining us, we'll see you again. take care. eric: it was a young crowd out at a nightclub saturday night when shots rang out. now a 27-year-old man has been killed, 15 others wound in a shooting in a crowded nightclub in cincinnati. investigators have ruled out terrorism. witnesses say several men got into a dispute at the bar and whatever beef they were involved in escalated. police say that called -- caused a chaotic seen. >> it's a very young crowd. we had incidents in the past, but this is the worst by far it was a very large crowd when it started. but just a lot of chaos when the shots went off. eric: one of the wound
9:09 am
club-goers is listed in critical condition. authorities believe there was more than one shooter involved. the investigation is continuing. iran striking back. while critics say the iran nuclear deal allowed billions of dollars on tehran. they slapped sanctions on us hitting 15 companies they say support terrorism. they include att and the real tess state company remax after the u.s. announced its latest sanctions on iran last month. now rouhani is going to visit vladimir putin next month in moscow. john bolton is a former u.s. ambassador to the united nations. and a cox news contributor. ambassador, what about this
9:10 am
partnership between putin and rouhani. it seems it's only escalating. >> russia and iran have been acting very closely together in the middle east for the last 10 or more years. certainly russia has repeatedly given political cover to iran's nuclear weapons program through multiple encounters in the u.s. security council and more broadly. they worked closely together to support their mutual ally the assad regime. it's clear if it weren't for russia and iran and hezbollah, the shiite terror group, assad would have fallen years ago. i think this meeting under lines the strength of the rip that exists. there are possible areas of cooperation both russia and iran's big oil and gas exporters. in many ways russia would love to find a way to get together with opec so they could collude
9:11 am
together and when to restrict production and raise international oil prices. they have a lot to talk about. the center of the conversation is how to continue to minimize american influence in the middle east. eric: benjamin netanyahu was in mose out other week trying to rein in the iranian proxies in syria. will it work? is putin listening? while hezbollah, tens of thousands of missiles on the israeli border. >> within the past couple weeks israel has truck inside syria to prevent further weapons transfers to hezbollah and help none. the growth of russian influence is nothing if not troubling and destabilizing. our u.s. policy in israel for 50 years has been to keep moscow as
9:12 am
minimally involved in the middle east as possible. russia is back selling weapons to egypt. it's now has a completely new air base in syria. they are cooperating more closely with iran. before they plead iran with the sophisticated s-300 air defense systems to protect iran's programs from israeli strikes. i think it's one reason why it will be difficult if not impossible for the united states to cooperate with russia on counter-terrorism measures. iran as you know is the central banker of international terrorism. it finances islamic terrorisms whether sunni or shiia and is at the heart of a terrorist network around the world.
9:13 am
eric: it's number one on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. vladimir putin is expanding his reach in the middle east at our expense. >> we ought to make it clear we are not going to accept that and we won't accept an enhanced role for iran in the region. as the pentagon reviews the military options to destroy isis in syria and iraq, they ought to do so in a way which minimizes the upside for iran. in any multi-party conflict, eliminating one party will benefit everybody else. but we ought to do this in a way that benefit iran as little as possible. the next conflict is already underway. you can ask the gulf arabs, the jordanians and israelis, they see iran as th -- as the princil

shows terrorists who kill innocent people can't escape justice. but it's thought many more militant are hiding out in that same area. eric: straight ahead, you will want to see the inspiring story of a marine veteran and american hero. he refused to give after losing both of his legs in afghanistan. arthel: the battle over judge neil gorsuch going to a new level as democrats vow to filibuster his nomination. is the nuclear option on the table for american senators? >> judge neil gorsuch is one of the most respected, qualified, and mainstream nominees to the supreme court in american history.

9:31 am
a major blow for the tax plan because the bill eliminated a trillion dollars in obamacare taxes over the next decade. if you give it up does come it would lower the revenue baseline for tax reform. eric: secretary treasury steve mnuchin hopes to get this done by august. what is the schedule and you think it's realistic? reporter: pretty tight. house ways and means committee kevin brady says this when he plans to take it up this spring. the president's plan would include middle-class tax cuts and a border adjustment tax. this would raise about a trillion dollars over a decade your proponents say would pay for corporate tax cuts. opponents say could cost prices in the u.s. to fight. >> as we look at tax reform, the big debate will be over the border adjustment tax, but we are in the information gathering mode right now. >> democrats already pushing back. >> they do the same thing on tax reform and the overwhelming majority of the cause go to the very wealthy, special-interest, corporate america in the middle class and the poor people are left out.
9:32 am
the loose again. reporter: white house officials are promising middle-class they will pull back moderate democrats to their site. eric: all right, caroline. we'll see if they can get it together. thanks. arthel: speaking of democrats, setting up a senate right to filibuster president trump supreme court nominee, judge neil gorsuch. republican leaders warning they may use the nuclear option, which would mean gorsuch would only need 51 votes instead of 60 to be confirmed. it's a independent senator bernie sanders who caucuses with democrats had to say about the possibility. >> what concerns me is right now we have the role that that's appropriately, i think, that for supreme court justice, and a lifetime term, one of the most important conditions in the united states government, it should require 60 votes because that would make it bipartisan. and i think that is where we are right now and i certainly hope that the republicans do not
9:33 am
change the rules in order to push gorsuch. reporter: joining me now is randy barnett, the constitution and professor of constitutional law at georgetown university law center. professor barnett, good to have you here. with us. we will pick up on what senator sanders said in a moment. let's talk about the democratic side of this, minority leader chuck schumer and you just heard from senator sanders. senator bob casey, who was running her reelection in pennsylvania. you know, republicans by the way thought they could coax senator casey to his side. so those senators are listed, they are some of the democratic senators saying they will vote no on the gorsuch nomination. the question for you is that the democrats put up a partisan barricade and block the confirmation of judge saad at him about are the political ramifications immediately and in the future?
9:34 am
>> well, the question isn't necessarily whether they will vote no on the nomination. the question is whether they will vote for cloture. the nomination itself, if cloture is nominated on, it is a majority vote. the cloture requires 60 votes in the question and will there be a democrat to break ranks to sustain a filibuster, which he says he will vote for. people vote for the filibuster. if that would have been time and the implications for the future, some of them very reluctantly will end the filibuster for supreme court to weigh harry reid and the democrats ended the filibuster for a lifetime appointment lower court judges in a negative nominee is. >> if republican leaders change the senate vote and go nuclear, using the nuclear option, as i pointed out, which would mean judge gorsuch would only need the votes to be confirmed in the sydney and a guaranteed confirmation since there are 52 gop members in the chamber's.
9:35 am
if republican take this route and in effect when, what are political consequences they are? >> the political consequences that we are going to get a replacement for justice scalia, who in some respects i think it's even better than just a silly. that means down the road when there is another employment and you have a republican president nominating a candidate --a nominates a republican senate, that down the road will only be -- from now on it will only be 50 votes towards the supreme court in a situation when reversal be the same putative democratic president nominates one, again it will be a 51 vote majority required from now on. reporter: how interpreted as the constitution? >> welcome in the constitution was written. it had a meeting when it was not good. it had a meeting in 1787. the 14th amendment had a
9:36 am
meeting in 1868 and judge gorsuch is an original in spirit and originalist believes the meaning of the text of the constitution needs to remain the same until properly changed in the only way is probably changed by an amendment. he's the first judge nominated for the supreme court explicitly committed to originalist and sent robert bork was 20 years ago. poor cat and a two and 20 years ago and that is not what happened this time around, making nice and historic event. arthel: if in fact the new rules become that you need 51 senators to confirm a spring court nominee, what are the american people to think of the political influence on those choices? >> well, the selection of supreme court justices is a political one. it's made by a politically elected president and then his choice or her choice has to become earned by a politically like the planet. in fact, the country is divided on how the constitution should
9:37 am
be interpreted in that decision asked her how it should be interpreted is ultimately a political one, made through the political process. that is what is designed to be, so we it. arthel: not that it seems that this is not going to happen. it seems like judge gorsuch will get confirmed. what happens if he does not get confirmed? >> well, i think he will get burned, so i haven't thought about if he doesn't. arthel: or a constitutional law professor, so i thought professor, said that you just explain it. >> and he doesn't get concerned, the president will have good nominates someone else. president reagan nominated judge ginsburg who drove his nomination before he had a chance to have a hearing and then we got justice kennedy. we will go through similar process. arthel: you see what i was getting. the american people are looking at how politics -- he thought the supreme court was thought that one institution is a great and it is that is sort of a new
9:38 am
to such partisan bickering that we are seeing these days. >> to people for the american way ran television ads about robert bork 20 years ago. you can find them on youtube. the idea selection to the supreme court will not be politicized is nothing new. in fact it is appropriately criticized debris of a two-party system for a reason and those parties are expected to disagree with each other. arthel: professor barnett, we leave it there. it was good to talk to you. >> my pleasure. eric: as you know, obamacare has led to see the other day as they fail to get their health care bill passed. we are being told this is only round one and the larger battle. the first is white house chief of staff reince priebus, when he appeared this morning on "fox news sunday." >> obamacare as we know isn't gloating and it is exploding and every other adjective you can provide. it is going south. it would be nice to get
9:39 am
democrats on board. but you are right, at the end of the day, i believe that it is the day, i believe that it is time for the party to start governing. com show me used trucks with one owner. pretty cool.

9:42 am
the slopes like i used to. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but whatever trail i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best.

and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis. arthel: a wave of land tension rallies across russia today did not need government corruption. mass arrests taking place as angry demonstrators crowded into streets. police setting up eric kagan hire enough tear gas. today's protest coming a year before president election day in which vladimir putin is expected to seek a fourth term. >> the president promised us this morning, we will all get together with the great health care plan for the people. we will add the obamacare nightmare and give the american people the world-class health care that they deserve. eric: that his vice president mike pence rallied to keep up
9:44 am
the fight despite the president's been thrown for a good gloss on friday. supporters at a rally in charleston, west virginia that the president won't rest until the law has gone for good. the failure to get the republican health care bill passed is seen as a shock in setback to the trump administration as well as house speaker paul ryan as you know looking for the first major legislative win. public input to pick up the pieces. white house chief of staff reince priebus says the effort to refashion health care is still far from over. >> we have one party and the republican party and democratic party and the president met with over 120 members of the house. there was more love shown to outside groups by this white house. the point is the diverse group of people working the halls of congress, including the leadership in congress. i think it is time for our folks
9:45 am
to come together. and i also think it is time to potentially get a few moderate democrats on board as well. drink to one of the congressmen who did not is pennsylvania sits on the house appropriations committee and as a member of the moderate tuesday group. you oppose the legislation. so what happens now? >> well, thanks, first thanks for having me on the program. what happens now is we need to move forward with a health care plan that is durable, sustainable and can be done in a bipartisan manner. i think that is where we have to go here. there's been too much discussion about arbitrary timelines, artificial deadlines, all to improve the baseline for tax reform. you know, health care reform has to be about the people who are going to be impact it. that is where we need to go here. not online is there are a lot of people who have a tough time in congress. there is too much time and effort spent placating those who
9:46 am
will never vote for the bill anyway and end up alienating a lot of folks in the center-right session of the party. eric: you're talking about basically the freedom caucus and those numbers. is that possible or kenya fashion something and make the majority that way? >> at this point in order to have a sustainable reform, we have to do this in a bipartisan manner. the mistake democrats made one of his first pass and i voted against obamacare. i was a strong critic. mistake they made if they try to muscle obamacare to the house and senate and they did. as republicans, we shouldn't make this a mistake trying to do this on a purely partisan basis. there were certain things that we know and that we have to fix. the individual insurance market is a massacre of millions of americans experiencing high deductibles and very significant premiums all across the country. let's fix that. some of the taxes and obamacare that abbott caused, medical device tax, taxes on health
9:47 am
insurance premiums are democrats just like the cadillac tax quite a bit. we might be able to agree on repealing. let's go after the problems and try to fix those in a bipartisan manner. >> who takes the lead on this? not one voted for this bill. how you refashion not going forward trying to get something that can help the american people? >> eric, i've had plenty of discussions of my colleagues who quite frankly admit the individual insurance market is a mess. they tell you they want to get rid of the cadillac tax and medical device tax. so why do we start out with areas of agreement, and advance it. i understand in washington a lot of folks who are very dug in on the hard right and hard but and they can't get out of their foxholes. i'm trying to tell people, come out. do not picture had shut off. it's okay. this is one area where president trump can be helpful. he's pretty pragmatic. he's not very ideological. this may be an area he can
9:48 am
bridge the gap. trade your times magazine reporting. but he threatened in the oval office meeting? >> low, would have been obviously we're having a discussion on health care. i'm in a discussion known i was opposed to the bill in current form, which i know was going nowhere in the senate. had many problems. we filled all the people pushing this bill failed, really to build a coalition. republican governors, for example. i raise this at the president. kasich in ohio, sandoval and nevada, and hutchison and arkansas. they have very serious concerns about the medicaid changes that were not addressed. >> i raise this for them. i think they are looking. they will seriously consider it. the point is that bill wasn't ready. you need to get stakeholders engaged and by then.
9:49 am
the patient advocates, providers like hospitals and physicians, they had not done this. they are actively opposed to a lot more legwork needed to be done to get people had of various stake in this issue. this didn't happen. the hard legwork. eric: very quickly, very quickly coming with 30 members of congress and they would go after them before they pulled the bill. do you think that the democrats or republicans can get together in the house and bring something from pennsylvania avenue to the white house that affect the bowl? >> i certainly hope so. candidly, this health care bill was moving through largely based on what was being developed in the house. neither the senate or the administration actually provided a plan or a set of principles and policies and i was also a bit of a shortcoming that if we are going to change the system, there should be a presidential plan presented to congress. i just didn't think there is
