some members, including florida's ileana ros-lehtinen, says it will hurt her constituents.s a member of freedom works, which is holding a rally against the legislation in washington. david drucker will be part of this conversation too. adam, this development from the white house, apparently admitting it's got a voting problem in the senate. >> just to be very clear, our event today is not against the legislation. but it's for repeal. that's what's been promised to the voters. that's what grassroots conservatives have been fighting for since 2009. what they want to see is a bill that actually takes a look at the 2015 bill at that time that repealed obamacare. this little, i'm not sure it's going to pass the house and will hit some problems in the senate. that's why i have been advocating, only five republicans in 2015 voted against full repeal, so why don't we use that as the default position? >> this bill does more than repeal, so in essence you are against this bill as it stands right now. david drucker, your reaction to this news from the white house. maybe they're admitt

i hereby appoint the honorable ileana ros-lehtinen to act as speaker pro tempore on this day. signed, paul d. ryan, speaker of the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the order of the house of january 3, 2017, the chair will now recognize members from lists submitted by the majority and minority leaders for horning hour debate. the chair will alternate recognition between the parties . all time shall be equally allocated between the parties and in no event shall debate continue beyond 11:50 a.m. each member other than the majority and minority leaders and minority whip shall be limited to five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: madam speaker, thank you very much. for the past few years i have been on the floor from time to time on the loss of life and waste of money in afghanistan. i believe we have too many in congress who are not listening to our men and women in uniform. and i actually not even listen to the taxpayers who are paying the bill to be in afghanistan. from articles w

ileana ros-lehtinen is in one of those districts, about 23 of them, where there's a republican member of congress, but the district went for hillary clinton. these are folks who are not going to really sort of play games in congress about alienating seniors, alienating some of the small business owners, alienating some of the other categories who are going to take a hit under the republican plan. they know, just as you're alluding to, the president reserves the right to change his mind. it's part of his art of the deal. he can walk away from a deal at any moment. he talks about it all the time, that's one of his strengths. they're not necessarily able to do that. if he walks away from the deal and leaves them holding the bag with not just a bad plan, but having voted for a bad plan, they'll be punished at the polls. >> we have to watch this over the next few hours. thank you all so much. tonight wolf blitzer and dana bash are hosting a town hall with health and human services secretary tom price. they'll be here to answer your questions on the new bill. obamacare, what comes next. it

miami congresswoman ileana ros-lehtinen going as far as to say she'll be voting no.tweeted a couple of days ago, i want to read the tweet to you, ayman, "as the american health care act stands, it will cut much-needed help for south florida's poor and elderly populations. need a plan that will do more to protect them." her district has the highest number of obamacare enrollees in the entire country, we're talking almost a hundred thousand people in miami-dade county. as you know, the plan's rate increases will hurt low-income people and seniors the most. and florida is of course a state with a high retiree population. so that's why those florida votes, the trump administration cannot afford to lose. they can't afford to lose more than 21 republican votes when they bring this bill to a vote before the full house as early as next thursday. and they're pushing hard for it to be that day. you know why, ayman? because next thursday will be the seven-year anniversary of the day obamacare passed. >> a little bit of irony there in politics, marianna atencio, thanks for joini

republicans pulled their support following monday's report, including florida congresswoman ileana ros-lehtinen, who tweeted -- "as written the plan leaves too many from my district uninsured." during a news briefing tuesday, white house press secretary sean spicer conceded that millions would lose their health insurance under the plan as it is currently written. this is spicer being questioned by cnn's jim acosta. >> s so getting back to thee congngressionanal budget offffie score, would you concede that there will be some coverage lolosses? ofthat there will be millions people who will not have e healh insurance as a result of what you're doing? again, sure, except you have to look at the current situation. you are mandated by law to buy insurance right now under obamacare. amy: demonstrations against the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare continued as hundreds braved a blizzard to tuesday protest outside house speaker paul ryan's office in racine, wisconsin. also on tuesday, president trump's pick to run medicare and medicaid seema verma was sworn in by vice president mike pen

then there are three moderates, one of whom is a neighbor, diaz-balart, who came out against ileana ros-lehtinen. >> one of the areas in new york has had hundreds of people outside of his congressional offices and says he's undecided. jonathan, i will note we are however many moments into this, the president has not talked about health care. he went to michigan and said not word one, paul ryan said he's all in on it. jake tapper said he didn't say a word about it. you wonder when the voices getting to him from breitbart saying paul ryan sold you a bill of goods, throw this overboard. >> there's no love between bannon and ryan. we know that. trump on the campaign trail said we're going to cover everyone. he sold something -- >> lower deductibles, cover everybody. >> and for all we know he believed that. this is not somebody who spends a lot of time reading briefing books. does he know what's in paul ryan's plan? does he know what he's signed up for? at some point i suspect bannon and people around him will say "you don't want to sink with this." >> i read a transcript of an interview the presiden

enough to remember when devin nunes complained -- along with every single member except for ileana ros-lehtinen -- of leaks, said they were criminal, they were wrong to have anonymous leaks showing up at the newspaper. >> i could have sworn that was just a few days ago. >> it was. do you find it ironic that he is the person who received a leak and then disseminated it to the press and the white house? >> it was ironic and strange, his actions yesterday. many of us up to that point praised how the committee had tried to work in a bipartin way to move the investigation forward. at theame time, as you know, many democrats have called for an independent commission to take this out of the hands of any of the members of congress, put in the the hands of a bipartisan group of citizens to fully investigate, look at the evidence, and come to conclusions and so yesterday i think shook the confidence of a lot of folks. >> let's play very quickly congressman nunes, the house intel committee chair talking about his regrets and his apology. >> it's just a judgment call. i mean, you know, it was my -- i mean,

my babies, andre's babies, are as american as his babies may be, that congresswoman ileana ros-lehtinenrubio, ted cruz, they don't look like him. they don't act like him. they don't think like him. they are just as american. because what makes us american is our love of country, our pride in this country, our work ethic, all those values we have in common. america is not going to allow itself to be divided by pathetic little racists like steve king. >> andre, help me understand, she brought up the calves the size of cantaloupes comment, questioning, quote, where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization, talking about whites. help me understand what you agree with in these words. >> well, let me first say, i don't know representative king. as i get older, i try to be more fair and reasonable, to listening to others' perspectives. i may not agree with them all the time. i don't say that i agree with representative king's viewpoint. but i think think it is getting very slippery that any time someone discusses something that may not be what another person agrees with

florida's ileana ros-lehtinen announced tuesday, i have dec e decided to vote no on the bill. many of my constituents will lose insurance. virginia's rob whitman announced his no vote on facebook saying i do not think this bill will do what is necessary for the short and long-term interest of virginias. democratic leader nancy pelosi dismissed one of the bright spots in the report. >> the plan would cut the deficit by $300 billion over ten years. is that a benefit in your view? >> of course, you can have savings if you cut off millions of people from access to care. >> reporter: even if house leaders round up enough report to pass the bill next week, it goes to the senate where gop critics have been more vocal. >> raises a good question of why house members would want to vote for this bill and pay the political price for voting for this bill if it is doomed to failure in the senate. >> reporter: speaker ryan has been trying to reassure conservatives that there are more reforms coming in phase two and phase three of his health care plan, but there's no legislation yet to back t

the 10 moderates including barbara comstock of virginia, dan donovan of new york, ileana ros-lehtinen of florida. .here are others eight other republicans who had a variety of reasons, chris smith of new jersey, brian fitzpatrick of pennsylvania and rick crawford of arkansas. the new york times website shows the breakdown of republicans who were trying to convince by the white house and president -- mina, arkansas, independent line, mark, go ahead. caller: thank you for c-span. to take ake the world few things into mind. most jurisdictions in the united states have a sunshine law in some way, shape, or form. i would like the legislators of this country to openly state on the front page of their newspapers where they derive their campaign from the end if they get their money from the pharmaceutical industry, did they get it from an insurance lobby? and how did they vote? another question -- we have a structural problem constitutionally, when we are allowed to add amendments to a bill that have no bearing on the bill of being decided. aroundegislators turned and added the amendment to g
