esther clyburn is our champion -- mr. clyburn is our champion. i will yield to him. fundsnot only about more for community health centers, which we all support, but it was bricks and mortar because you can't just put out money and not have it in different localities. i will yield to mr. clyburn because he is been a champion on this issue. >> thank you. thank you for enjoying my book. in the book, you may have found that the community health centers is something i have more than a 58 year history with. , "the case against hunger" that was written over 50 years ago, that book was based -- was a forerunner to the creation of the first community health centers in the south. savannah, one of them is in my name. when we put the affordable care sanders inr, bernie house,ate and i in the worked on getting 100% coverage in this country for community health centers. and we had it. thisart of trying to make a palatable -- palatable piece of legislation, we finally dropped that coverage down to 65%.d 64%, because every time they started looking for money, they came rai di commun

listening from the democratic leaders in the house, nancy pelosi, we had jim clyburn th e there, stan hoyer saying this is a good day for democrats. they are pulling the bill from the floor and repealing the effort to replace obamacare. also, president trump just made some remarks in the oval office. we had a camera there for some technical reasons, it's going to take us a few minutes. we can show it? okay. i'm sorry, we have chris jansing standing by at the white house. chris, what do we know? >> reporter: just interrupt up me if we get the tape. what happens is they send the pool in, they are able to tape it, they have to physically run it back down and then we are able to put it in a tape machine and get that out. so that does take a few minutes. logistically. but i think there's a couple of things he was running about 15 to 20 minutes behind. not surprising, having gone through these situations quite a bit with president obama, given everything that has happened today, may have wanted to take a few minutes to figure out exactly what he wanted to say once those medal of honor recip
