sgr withy, when i did boehner, i got so highly criticized by people in our own party. remember? we all did because we did not go for years of community health centers. remember the senate? we folded early ech? baby mr. boehner got criticized on his side of the aisle as well. >> i recall. >> but we got the job done for the american people, even though , shall we say, the left -- i know you may think of me that way -- i think of me that way. wewas highly critical that should have gotten more out of it, but i thought we did the right talents for all of that.

but boehner, ryan is talking boehner. boehner said republicans never agreed on health care.reed what to do about health care. and guess what? now that they're running the place they're still not agreeing about what to do about it. >> david, listen to this, this is 2009, 2010 when obamacare was on the table and republicans had this to say about the process that was unfolding. >> they're saying, ignore the wishes of the american people. we know more about this than you do. and we're going to jamb it down your throats. >> my colleagues in congress are going to continue on their march to shove this government non-health care plan down the throats of the american people. >> it would be a political comma kozlowski i mission for the political party. >> now the republicans want to jamb this through. >> what's old is new again. listen, there is a political imperative here and donald trump identified it today. he when he was meeting with folks at the time white house, the deputy whips and those rallying the votes. if the republican cannot go back to the country and say, we have repeal

a year and a half ago john boehner was pushed out by the same group of freedom caucus members.yan swooped in, seen as the only guy with conservative chops to satisfy them. >> you're talking about hi speakership as opposed to being re-elected for his district. how vulnerable is he to lose his speakership? >> well, you know, we don't know. the apps is we don't know. there's clearly tension between him and the freedom caucus and this is the same group that pushed out boehner. so for all the talk of ryan is the guy that can unite the party, he's in the exact same shoes as john boehner was. he's going to have to make those kind of compromises that jop boehner did, will have to reach across the aisle when a spending fight comes up. this is only march. usually have these fights in september when the government's about to close down and there's the conservative group that doesn't want to pay for government spending. boehner had to reach across the aisle and get democrats and that's why he lost his speakership essentially. all budget fights. we haven't gotten to that point yet. when tha

john boehner is a freshman.gives him a heads up about what they are about to do on the house bank. he is thinking, he is going to cut my legs off. this guy is never going to speak to me again. he nod and says, well, you do what you have to do. as leader, i will do what i have to do. that was it. no breaking of arms. no retribution. just that. you know, years later when i was a rebelrouser causing john boehner similar problems, he showed the same decency to me. now i know who i have to thank. bob michel loved this place. many of us got to know him after -- we didn't serve together but we got to know him so well after that service. he loved this place and the institution but really loved his people. he did not just shape event. he shaped people's lives. how they lived and how they treated others. that's what makes a giant, a giant. it is the values that they instill in us. those moments that make you say, wow, i will never forget this. bob michel add lot of those kind of moments in his good and long life. you woul

and the same problem that plagued boehner is the problem that plagued donald trump this time.om caucus, by the way, is not going to be any nicer to him when it comes to tax reform or infrastructure. he's going to have the same problems with this group. and i think that when we heard him say today, oh, yeah, some of those guys are my friends, he also talked about bipartisanship and i think that was directed right at them, which -- and the point was if i can't work with you on certain things, guess what, i'm going to start having to go around you. >> he also talked about loyalty, which was also directed directly at them. there is no doubt about that. they are emboldened now. that is why i thought in paul ryan's press conference, one of the things he said that was so clearly aimed at the freedom caucus to get at this conundrum that bedevilled boehner which was, we are now learning how to be a governing party with all the facets, and are we willing to give up something to get something done? the freedom caucus answer to that today was no, we're not. we're not willing to do that. b

. >> absolutely, this is the same problem that former house speaker john boehner used to have.ember, when they got to votes with the debt ceiling or trying to keep the government open, he could rely on the democrats, this is why john boehner is no longer the speaker. we have a new speaker of the house, paul ryan. it's the same membership. when you're trying to pass a bill with only your folks on the republican side of the aisle, that's why it's very tough. we should have a vote, i would think, shep, in about an hour an hour and 15 minutes here. sean spicer was saying that's if you gave the four hours of debate, this is like soccer. injury and booking team takes later. i'm thinking 4:45 and maybe 5:00. i'm going to give you a vocabulary term here. "recess subject to the call of the chair." if they don't have the votes and might get there, you see them might recess and subject and you'll see all the screens go to the blue screen of death. that means that they're trying to make a last minute decision as to whether or not they should forge ahead. remember, this is a dicey propositi

they drove boehner out. >> what is boehner doing right now. >> making money. >> laughing or crying or both? >> he's having a great life. but chuck, the problem is they've got to be able to get together as a caucus and show they are not just an opposition party, that they can govern. if they don't, they will go to midterms of the collapsed base, and midterms are on who shows up. >> what is freedom, because ryan did put the blame on the freedom caucus. they had some votes but not enough. >> let me start with that, first of all, they are the ones in the safe republican districts that could have voted without political damage. but the members in the marginal districts, if you will, that were walking the plank. they are the ones likely to lose if this goes south and were the ones supplying the votes. >> well, i think the problem is, it's almost as if none of them paid attention to the election. you know, donald trump trampled on the republican party and the republican coalition. he was the one who won the election. it wasn't that house republicans carried him across the finish line. he won

he's suffering from the same problem that john boehner suffered from. and he understands he's going to get tax reforms through it all, these are the same people he's got to talk to people. >> and the debt ceiling. short term. >> to keep the government open. and he was basically pleading with them, saying we have to give something to get something done. >> he's been saying for so many years that the republican party needs to evolve into not an opposition party. the part of the problem is you have a quarter of the house republicans right now, not just the freedom caucus, who have never been in a republican majority at the congress when there is a republican president. you have people who don't have governing experience. that's a long-term problem. >> john until today, this afternoon, the officials of the white house sean spicer, they were upbeat about the chances of success. listen to this exchange sean spicer had. >> how confident are you that the bill will pass and if it doesn't pass, is there a plan b? >> no there is no plan b. there is a plan a and pl

these folks are used to bucky nader is good they certainly did it to john boehner.hey nudged him out the door. a number of other factors that that was the straw that broke the camel's back with john boehner. that was the issue. they talk about divided government. house speaker paul ryan said we need to do these things. there is a divided government. a schism in the republican party between the moderate republicans who wouldn't move to this bill. the chair of the appropriations committee, tom macarthur for some and they got on board, but a lot of other moderates they had trouble with in the freedom caucus. these numbers never voted for anything under john boehner and they will have a real challenge getting them on or to keep the government open and do tax reform. >> so what happens next and the president wants to go while in attempting. a few things coming up, the debt ceiling, tax cuts which is the next thing he wants to move forward on an infrastructure. this according to spokesperson, sean spicer, he did everything he could to get a health care deal made, didn't h

freedom caucus is the reason john boehner is in retirement right now. it is 30 people, but they will control the debate. i think the obamacare issue dies on the floor today and on the floor of the senate. i don't see it making it. >> i heard interesting conversation yesterday from folks who said we should just pass the repeal bill like we did before. the house passed it. the senate passed it. president obama. straight repeal and go from there. >> that leaves millions on the hook. >> they say they will fix it later. is there a trick up their sleeve? >> i don't see one. in a perfect world, christine, republicans would go to the democrats and say let's reform obamacare. this is not a perfect world. tomorrow, they were going down a dead end. the democrats are not looking to be conciliatory. >> it doesn't look like 60 votes. eugene, the notion is the president is the closer or dealmaker. it did not appear so yesterday. 30 republicans stood up in favor of signing on to the bill. one spoke out against. one that spoke in favor is bryan mast from florida. he los

boehner and we put the money and for the community health centers, you know much we had. $3.5 billion for each year for two years. $7 billion for two years. so the need is far greater than the 422 come although, we're happy to get anything. the scope of the problem, $3.5 billion per year for two years. let me just say in addition to that, in your state, you don't have medicaid expansion. >> i'm aware of that. >> many of these community health centers that are needing money are really crying out for medicaid to be continued. hopefully, expanded. because that is where a lot of the money is coming to them for providing the care, to pay for the care that they have. $420 trillion, i don't know they can up with this figure, it is a small amount of money relative to the need. as i say, everything is appreciated, but it is a token. it is a token of what really should be in the bill. >> i don't want to get into an argument about the amount. we agree about the importance -- >> absolutely. >> if we can find more money, i would love to find more money for community health centers. let me go back

don't forget that speaker boehner, everybody remembers speaker boehner, he went into retirement because he couldn't coral the republican caucus. donald trump made a promise, he went out there and said, you need an outsider. washington is paralyzed, i can make it work in washington. the day before yesterday he threatened republicans. he said, i'll remember you if you don't work with me. >> you're going to pay for it. >> what happened, he played chicken with the house freedom caucus and he blinked. that's going to hurt him down the line. it's going to hurt him with tax reform. and that's why i think david gergen said that. donald trump has weakened himself and his presidency because of the number of bad rollouts and incompetent actions that his white house has taken. so yes, of course i put that in the same league as some of the worst 100 days. ronald reagan had a tough start too. but ronald reagan had a sense of the programmatic changes he wanted to make and he also had some democratic support. donald trump hasn't even been able to persuade people that he understands the details of the g

now the white how is suggesting that may may try a gone on healthcare using the john boehner tactic of trying to recruit democrats to get around conservatives. listen to what the chief of staff said on fox news sunday yesterday. >> this president is not going to be a partisan president. this is a president that wants to provide -- you're right. he wants to make sure that people don't get left behind. he wants to make sure there's competition so rates are lower and people can choose their doctor. so if those three things are incompatible with some members of the republican house, then it's going to be incompatible and we need to work with moderate democrats. >> the white house has tried to change the subject today announcing that potus' son-in-law, jared kushner, will head up the new white house office of american innovation. his job will be to apply business strategies to federal government to streamline the bureaucracy. the president signed an order to identify efficiencies, ineffective programs across the federal government. kushner will be in charge of making the changes that arise

guest: let's go back to when john boehner was speaker.here has been a group of people who have been upset with the speaker whether it is john boehner or paul ryan. there is some appetite for that among a section of the republican conference. the question is are there enough people, and who is the alternative that can get the votes? i don't think that person exists. host: every house speaker since tip o'neill has either been forced out, defeated, or taken out by his or her own party. the speaker has left on his or her own since 1986. guest: that is not going to make paul ryan sleep better tonight. host: jonathan las vegas, democrats line. you get the last word. my question was on health care. part of the fact that the health care plan is probably right now is because the republican party who wants to throw it on the democrats, i was disappointed to hear the president say that the other day, because they defunded it a couple of years ago. that is why it is falling apart. host: want to respond to that? this election is going to be another el

but getting those 218 votes, as john boehner discovered when he was speaker, not easy at all for a piecelegislation like this. >> we'll wait to see the scoring. the biggest question are the tax credits jgenerous enough to covr the low income population? >> that depends on what's enough. they will be less generous than the obamacare subsidies but more people than people like the freedom caucus want. that's the complaint, among people like rand paul and the house of representatives, they say this is just a brand-new entitlement like obamacare, and on that basis they oppose it. >> john, thank you very much for joining us. >>> back to corporate news. two tech giants are joining forces in the market for ai. landon dowdy has more. >> good morning. salesforce announced it is partnering with ibm and artificial intelligence. the goal is to help companies better target companies with products and services by offering an intergraded ai platform that can combine watson with the salesforce einstein technology. they will not share revenue and they will continue to sell services independently, but the

. >> house speaker john boehner predicted last month that republicans would never repeal obamacare because they cannot agree on that bill. several lawmakers say that speaker ryan is about to see wln that prophesy will come true. all eyes of course on the full house vote later today. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. the house rules committee is meeting right now on the health care bill. live with more. what do we expect there? >> this is a rare very early morning meeting of the rules committee which is important because it indicates the wheels are starting to be set in motion to push toward a full house vote at some point later today. this is essentially the last legislative step that needs to happen before the bill is braug to the floor so what this committee here will be doing is voting on all the last minute changes. the results of the negotiations that leadership have that add to the bill. and they know what is going to happen here but certainly a last chance to add a little political theater but the most important thing that's going to happen from this committee later is they're

said a great tweet somewhere john boehner is sipping a glass of merlot.t is harder than it looks, young men. , man. this marriage between the speaker and the president, as know, was always going to be arranged and a difficult marriage. at the end, when they were in such different places, the white house clearly was planning to take credit if this passed and blame paul ryan if it did not. and, the president tried to bully the speaker of the end, telling him to go ahead and take this vote. the president thinking in classic deal terms and that is againl street, deals die and again until they are finally done. the gamble was you go ahead, get this vote and eventually you are going to be better off. the speakers saw his support unit operating and new -- evaporating and knew that was not going to be the case. republicans are moving on, not trying to fix this on monday morning. plunging into tax reform. vent, i hadg at an e a conversation with the treasury secretary steve mnuchin, his first onstage interview. we talked about tax reform and he was arguing that in

this is the same dilemma that john boehner was in. ago, john a half boehner was facing the freedom caucus, and they had about the same numbers, about 40 people. the math has not changed, even on the name above the speakers office has. he will face the same trouble with this group. they do not like to compromise. they came here to dismantle things, to cut deficits, and they are going to stick to their guns, no matter who is in the white house. it will be an enormous problem for paul ryan. in many ways, this accentuated the favor that john boehner did for paul ryan. when he came in, he cut a couple deals with president obama. he raise the debt ceiling and set spending caps, and it kind of increased the skids for paul ryan through the entirety of last year and 2015. everybody said the honeymoon was but itr paul ryan in 15, was over in 2016. it does not bode well for their agenda moving forward. that is his burden. host: one or two callers said they want speaker ryan to go after what happened last week. we have a democrat in belton, misso

it was sort of a thorn in the side of john boehner and speakers before, too.his is not new, necessarily so this administration or to this congress. >> what is new, though, is having a president who is so willing to play the blame game so publically and across the board. nobody would believe he just happens to coincidentally suggest his twitter follows tune into a fox host saying that speaker ryan should resign. even if that were to have happened coincidentally, he tweets her show, she would have changed what she was about to say if it was really going to blow up the presidency like that and say ryan out to step down. you have the president willing to tell people it's ryan's fault and the very next morning tweeting it is the freedom cauc caucus's fault. everybody knows he wasn't as involved in this and he failed to close the deal. so just the fact that there is this kind of blame. i mean john boehner never would have allowed that to happen as publically as it is now and that is a really fascinate ining fun thing to watch. >> this speaker has had to try, along w

as i used to see with speaker boehner, when we would get members of our conference together and work together, eventually you can leave the leaders into doing the right thing. ,egarding peter's point though i'm glad he is paying so much attention. that's fantastic. i would love to have peter as a statuette\/\ constituent. he brings up a great point and one that has been bothering me ever since we have been a majority. we keep being told we need to pass a bill in the house that we think will get through the senate. we keep compromising before we pass our bill and send it to the sen senate. there is an issue on this part because it's not the normal process. reconciliatione and it has to have a relationship with the budget. we have been told over and over that the bird world may cause a problem. -- the bird rule may cause a problem. the most important word in there it's got to be material. word --the operative incidental effect on the budget. who makes that decision? clearly it's not a numerical number. is it more incidental to get to the point of material? is it just barely incidental?

you brought up these remarks that john boehner made recently that says he does not expect the republicans to repeal and replace the affordable care act. i wasn't there but i heard he laughed and said republicans can never agree on health care. where are you all at, just in a minute or two answers? are you expecting the law it be repealed and replaced? what are your expectations of what we are in for for the next year or two? >> well the frustration that they are already feeling and can you sense it is they want to keep the good things that are expensive and don't know what to get rid of to save any money and not have it be something that is one of the benefits that are so good as part of the repair. if you're going to add people, allow young kids to stay on their parents' plan until they are 26, that's expensive. because you will get adverse selection. ones that are out there working that have jobs and so forth that can qualify, if you change it, will take their own coverage elsewhere. but in many instances, the young people will stay on their parents' plan because they aren't working. bu

>> yeah, so a great tweet said, somewhere john boehner is sipping a glass of merlot. ( laughter ) it's harder than a lux, isn't it, young man? there is no question about that. this marriage between the speaker and theup, as you know, was always going to be an arranged and difficult marriage. then, at the end, when they were in such different places, the white house clearly was planning to take credit if this passed and blame prine if it didn't, and the president trying to bully the speaker at the end telling him to go ahead and take this vote, the president thinking of it in classic deal terms, and that is, on wall street, deals die again and again before they're finally done, and, so, the gamble was you go ahead and get this vote and eventually you're going to be better off. the speaker saw his support evaporating and knew that that wasn't going to be the case. so, charlie, the republicans now saying that they're going to move on, that they're not going to try and fix thisn monday morning. they're not going to retake this up, plunging into tax reform this morning at an axios news shap

ashley: you know, john boehner was really good at reaching across the isle and getting legislation.ul ryan did that and made changes that you agreed to, is that a possibility that you could get onboard? >> well, to your first point when it came to raising the debt ceiling and the transportation bill last term, it was, in fact, a number of democratic members combined with speaker boehner and some of the more pragmatic members of the republican caucus. it was the republican side that said. okay. look we acknowledge obamacare as the law of the land. it has done some good things, the medicaid expansion, for example. the fact that 28.9 million americans have health insurance today that didn't have it beforehand. yet at the same time we know there are still challenges. that we still have ways to go. let's come together with ways to improve obamacare. you would find many members on my side of the aisle that are willing to do that. instead they just seem to be hell bent on this repeal vote in order to fulfill a seven-year long campaign promise. ashley: so you disagree with many people, incl

speaker boehner basically said that, you know, i guess a couple weeks ago.u're not going to replace obamacare. you're going to take a few things out, add a few other things, wrap it up in a bow and call it repeal and replace. i think if you actually look at the baseline of what is being talked about, it's much more comprehensive than that. if you talk about ending the mandate, the employer mandate, you talk about essentially ending all taxes save for the cadillac tax, that's a big change. i mean, that goes to the heart of what obamacare was all about. so, i think that at the end of the day we're talking about a more comprehensive change than that. and that's why it probably requires time. >> it has to be of some concern to you that the doctors and hospitals are opposing it as well as the american medical association obviously the doctors medical hospital association, nurses association and the list goes on. do you think that -- are you surprised by this blowback? >> not really. i mean, because -- and i think this is the difficulty in complex bills. if you he

>> is it the conservatives of the freedom caucus who effectively drove out your predecessor, john boehner, are they responsible for the defeat today? mr. ryan: i don't want to cast blame. there's a block of no votes, there were a sufficient number of votes that prevented it from passing and they didn't change their votes. we were close, some of the members of that caucus were voting with us but not enough were and therefore, i met with their chairman earlier today. e made it clear to me that the votes weren't going to be there from their team. that was sufficient to provide the balance to not have this bill pass. reporter: you all swept the house, won the majority with a promise to repeal obamacare. the majority in the senate with a promise to repeal obamacare. the white house with the promise to repeal obamacare. how do you go home to your constituent, send all your members home to their constituents, say, you know what, it's not even 100 days into the administration, sorry, we can't figure this out. mr. ryan: that's a really good question. i wish i had a better answer. obamacare is not

and john boehner had barack obama in the white house. and tonight paul ryan is in way over his head. just like devin nunes, and just like donald trump. joining us now, democratic congressman eric swalwell is a member of the house permanent select committee on intelligence. and congressman, i just have to ask u, how long did it take for the shock to wear off? because the traditions of the way your committee operates as you know is a -- it's a very strong bipartisan history of the operations of that committee. >> lawrence, i'm still shocked. this committee for the past three years for me has been the most fulfilling thing i've done in congress. because it's a place you go to find bipartisanship, to make the most important decisions. and today our chairman betrayed the independence that our committee must show during one of the most trying times in american history. he should have shared this with the intelligence committee first. he never should have shared wit a president whose campaign is under federal criminal investigation. and now i t
