to try to bridge differences with democrats on capitol hill. that wasn't the case this time. this time the president was there to affirm his support for the agenda that democrats in congress are fighting for. that that will be a source of strength for democrats in the years ahead. and the president encouraged them to draw on it as they continue to fight for the values that they've been fighting for, for the not just the last eight years but for most of the people in that room their entire career in public service. reporter: can you mention other issues that they talked about besides health care? mr. earnest: there were a range of legislative issues that i think would you expect. criminal justice reform, immigration reform, infrastructure. some of the other issues that democrats are likely to be working on over the next couple of years. reporter: to go back to the question of what he wants democrats to do when it comes to -- [inaudible] -- once the law is repealed, would he like democrats to negotiate with republicans to come up with a replaceme
