7:04 am
legislative defeat? finger-pointing. they can't even keep the blame game straight. >> i think it's a real shame and i think the president's disappointed in the number of people that he thought were loyal to him that weren't. >> white house chief of staff reince priebus joined president trump in pointing the accusing finger at the freedom caucus and two conservative political groups. he wrote on sunday, democrats are smiling in d.c. that the freedom caucus with the help of growth and heritage have saved planned parenthood and obamacare. that was a sharp turn from friday when he said this about the freedom caucus. >> no, they're friends of mine. >> mr. trump initially blamed democrats. >> we had no votes from the democrats. they weren't going to give us a single vote. so it's a very difficult thing
7:05 am

7:06 am
even so the president and the speaker find themselves in something eakin to a legislative desert. no big accomplishment and none on the horizon any time soon. tax spending and infrastructure are next but the same looms and they sense weakness in this white house appear opposed to mr. trump's agenaaagenda as eve >> the "washington post" reports that jared kushner is goad to lead a s.w.a.t. team. >> husband of daughter ivanka and a very powerful force within the white house will leave corporate america and this trump administration into a new union dealing with inefficiencies in the veteran democracy, changing the veterans administration, for example, charnging the other
7:07 am
democracy. what it's telling is he's expanding his role. diminishing the role of this executive branch and congress and quite possibly the white house chief of staff reince priebus who as we all know was brought into the white house to fix things with congress and after the obamacare defeat, well, things don't look so solid on that front. >> thanks, major. >> major, thank you. well, the white house may be done with health care reform for now, but republican lawmakers are asking why their seven-year effort to get rid of obamacare is still unfinished. chip reid is on capitol hill. chip, good morning. >> good morning. the republicans are performing a political autopsy on capitol hill but they're so badly divided they can't even agree on a cause of death. >> i still believe that there is a good chance if moderates and conservatives can come together that we repeal and replace obamacare, bring premiums down, cover more people. >> representative mark meadows,
7:08 am
which played a keel role in killing the bill blamed moderates. saying no is easy, he wrote, leaving is hard. leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective member of congress. others in the caucus say the fight isn't over. on "face the nation" republican senator tom cotton said the problem is the president and house republican leaders gave up too easily. >> i think it was too fast. we don't have a choice to revisit or not revisit it. we have to revisit it. >> back home over the weekend democrats were met with cheers from california to vermont, but republican senator lindsey graham was met with the opposite in south carolina. >> here's what i think about health care. obamacare is a disaster and it's going to collapse. >> and republicans have another big worry on the

to pass a major spending bill or face the possibility of a government shutdown and they're going to have to find some unity to to it. charlie? >> thanks, chip. susan page is "usa today's" washington bureau chief. welcome. >> thank you. >> looking at obama ar, what is specifically next? >> it's damaging for one part because he's weakening by demonstrating he couldn't deliver on this fundamental promise. it also raises questions about white house operation on their ability to build a coalition with congress. on an issue like tax reform, we heard the treasury secretary steve mnuchin. tax reform may be the toughest of all. >> they have to scale down ambitions? >> yes. because under the budget rules so they can do it with the majority in the senate, it means it has to be revenue-neutral over ten years and becau
7:10 am
didn't get that $1 trillion in tax cuts that they hoped to get to contribute to the bottom line there. >> we heard reince priebus said they will now reach out to moderate democrats. is there incentive to get them to work right now? >> it's hard to imagine why they would want to send a lifeline to the president and the republican who are in such peril at this moment. the one reason might be to help the health care system get better and that might be a powerful incentive, but there's a big political incentive to wait until the next midterm elective next year to see if democrats can score big gains, even win control of the congress. it would be a stretch. and then deal with the president. >> susan, it reminds me of marital counseling where they say, do you want to be right or to you want peace. at one point someone -- >> what did you say? >> i said i want both. it doesn't work that way. >> if you ask politicians in in
7:11 am
to be right. >> that puts us on track for a government shutdown which you heard chip reid say is possible at the end of april. >> that's right. this is one of those difficult unglamorous things to happen. it doesn't have the big glory payoff of repealing the affordable care act. it's something republicans historically don't like to do, but they're in charge of the government now and they're on the hook to do that. >> does this force president trump to become more engaged? the criticism has been he's not a details guy. does he need to become one now? >> you know, one of the things we're going to be watching, what lessons does president trump learn from the early experiences and others in the first 67 days of the prez tency and does he make adjustments? for instance, president clinton had a rocky start. he still got things done because he was constantly applying lessons learned from the last defeat. will president trump be like that? we don't know that. >> is he
7:12 am
difference between but the president and being the candidate? >> some of the things that enabled him to win the election are making it harder to govern. he budget a standard issue. that was a good thing. but that means he has a different agenda. paul ryan is conservative and wants a smaller government. on this health care debate, president trump wanted to make sure he protected some of the republicans he drew to the republican side this time. president trump was also a very big picture guy as a candidate. sometimes as a president, you need to get down in the wheat. >> what happens to planned parenthood? >> that's a big issue. it's still there. they're in power. they weren't able to do it. >> good to have you here. the state department is condemning the crackdown on anti-government protests. they arrested hundreds of people yesterday at dozens of demonstrations. this was the largest wave of anti-government rallies in

jook it's monday, march 27th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's more real news ahead including president trump and other republicans claiming obamacare will, quote, explode this year. we'll get a health care reality check from bloomberg white house correspondent on that. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> what to you have after a big conspicuous legislative defeat? well, fi-pngerointing and recriminations, of course. >> they can't even agree on a death. >> it's hard to imagine why the democrats would want t
8:01 am
republicans a lifeline who are in such peril. >> it's like the marriage counselor who said to me, to you want to beht rig or maintain peace. the hail was raining down at 30,000, 40,000 feet. that's how you get this. >> they're held to a stricter dress code than your average flyer. >> noticed. they have just sealed this one. >> gamecocks are in the final four. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual insurance. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and margaret brennan. norah is on assignment. president is moving on after his failed effort
8:02 am
replace obamacare. his next legislative goals is going to be tax reform and infrastructure. gop measures that doomed the bill are out there. yesterday he blamed the conservative republicans for the first legislative loss. he tweeted -- the president said on friday that democrats were the reason why the replacement bill failed. he predicted they would negotiate once obamacare, quote, explodes. house speaker paul ryan said obamacare will be the law of the land for the foreseeable future, but he and other republicans also say trouble is coming. >> what we're really worried about and you've heard me say this all along is the coming premium increases that are coming with a death spiring health care system. i really believe that obamacare is a law that's collapsing, hurting families, not working. >> i think what w
8:03 am
obamacare, unfortunately, will explode. it's going to have a very bad year. last year you had over 100% increases in various places. >> the president is simply stating a fact that obamacare continues to get worse. premiums continue to go up every year when you hit open enrollment season. many across the country have one insurer, which means the insurance company has a monopoly over your care. >> she has a reality check this morning on some of the strongest gop criticism. shannon joins us once again at the table. always good to see you. >> this is good to see you. >> this is what the finger-pointing looks like. everybody else is blaming. how because is it? is it as bad as it appears? >> it's very bad in some markets, doing extremely well in other markets. yes, there are certain markets and
8:04 am
doing well under this law, but there are others doing quite well and to characterize this as a death spiral i think there are others but who have not faced this cat strof ek situation. >> why is it a difference in marketsome. >> i think it depends on the state. tennessee is a smaller market. you had more people semifinal up in that market in particular. california, bigger market. the general pool of people who signed up were healthier and that helps drive down the cost for insurance overall. >> death spiral actually hi has a technical term here. what is it? >> you mean meaning that, you know -- >> we keep hearing obamacare is in a death spiral. that's not just hyperbole. that's referring to some issues with the marketplace. >> right. the issues with the marketplace is that insures have pulled out. they weren't able to make a profit. investment costs have gone up. you have premiums going way up.
8:05 am
of these select markets that the republicans have really cited and hammered away at. you have people in the market where it is doing fine where, you know, they just make just enough money not to qualify for a subsidy but they don't make enough money where insurance is affordable. so you have those people in those in between area who we hear about who are paying $400 a month for insurance and have a $3,000, $4,000 deductible. so it's not affordable if for them and they don't have other options. >> are there band dades to make this work so it's not going to explode? >> yeah. i think the solution is going to be something republicans doan want to hear which is more subsidies and more regulations. a bigger carrot and bigger stick. if a penalty were put in place, more would be driven. if they were healthy, more would be able to afford it. and if more regulations were placed on insurers to
8:06 am
would too. >> could republicans and democrats agree on that many. >> i think at this point it is possible that there's more in common between the democrats and the moderate republicans than there are the far right conservative freedom caucus and the moderate republicans, but that's not saying much either, because the divide is there between the freedom caucus and the rest f the republican party is pretty steep as well. but i do see there's a potential that democrats could come on board to a republican sponsored plan. >> when would we see another effort to propose a new health care legislation. >> unless there's a secret plan no one knows about, a month, years. i mean for people who have to make a decision about buying their health insurance this fall, i don't think there's going to be a replacement plan. >> and the relationship between paul ryan and the president of the united states. how can these
8:07 am
do you think they're on the same page now? publicly you're saying, yes, they are. >> it has always been a tense relationship. these two have not seen eye to eye on a lot of things but they realize they're bound together and working the best they can. this exacerbates the tenseness of that relationship and there's a lot of people inside the president's inner circle who are saying, listen, the only reason we were working with paul ryan was to get legislation through congress. he can't to that, so what good is he to us. let's push our agenda and not compromise so much. >> do you think that's the opinion of steve bannon? >> i will not reveal any name bus there are people with the rnc who have been with the speaker. mike pence is known to be a close ally of the speaker and there are those who came up through the anti-establishment camp who never had a favorable opinion of the
8:08 am
>> what are their initials, shannon? >> thank you very much. >> i'll see you back in washington, shannon pettypiece. alexei navalny is one of president vladimir putin's most prominent critics. he was detained yesterday at a large moscow demonstration. hundreds of people were arrested at dozens of protests. it was the largest wave of anti-government rallies in years. the kremlin is rejecting calls to release those arrested, calling the gatherings a provocation. u.s. state department says, quote, detaining peaceful protesters, human rights observers, and journalists is an affront to core democratic values. hail struck down yesterday. some
