joining us now, congressman jim jordan.od to see you, you are insisting to leadership leading, it is that correct? >> yeah, because the america people are tired. they are sick and tired of this law. and think about it 3 of last your elections it was one of the central issues, let's quit dancing around it all, let's repeal it, a good place to start is the legislation we passed a year and a half ago, 2015 repeal, then replace it with when dr. pauls that introduced on senate side. a patient-centered, market-centered plan. lou: it sounds so straight forward, yet ryan talking about a step by step approach. how long will it take in your judgment, to move to repeal obama be on care and replace it with rand paul plan. >> we're ready tomorrow. we took two positions this week, as a group, we said do the repeal bill that everyone as voted on, people are saying well, i want to change, that i am not sure about that. deciding we're going to repair something, which implies that something needs fixing, let's put it on president trump's des

>> yeah, so the reason jim jordan says that is because the architecture is just so wrong. i think that was in reaction to some suggesting we should sort of tinker around the edges and try to refine and repair the existing law. it is collapsing and that's not viable. so what we propose -- we ran on a replacement plan, by the way, so we've had -- we've long had a replacement plan for obamacare and that's what we're focus on now is building a replacement plan to repeal obamacare and replace it with patient-centered healthcare which we are convinced will give us a better system. remember the promises of obamacare, lower prices, more choices, those things didn't happen. we believe we can make good on those proms which is improve access to affordable healthcare coverage. right now people aren't getting affordable healthcare coverage. so with we believe to get this right, you have to repeal and replace this law with something better and that's exactly what we -- >> woodruff: including pre-existing conditions, not something called continuous coverage which isn't the same thing. >>

lou: congressman jim jordan from ohio, one of the:finist congressmen, i think, along with mark me deens pnt freedom caucus and conservatives have had a belly full. they want to repeal obamacare. and the president directly rants to cut taxes. those things can be done in a tter of weeks, not months or certainly not years as even the speaker of the house -- >> i can't understand how they have got the nerve to save we can't do two things at once. >> they may be guilty of being honest on that. >> what do they they they are prepared to do? there is a big fight trump needs to win. the exact rate on the corporate tax cut. there is a huge difference between the 15% he promised and the 20% ryan and his gang want. difference is in the global competitiveness factor and also the confidence boost. when people hear 15% -- lou: and the import tax ryan and others in congress want, which i think the trump white house flirted with for a bit. i hope they have come to their senses and say no. >> it's so complicated. the more complicated you make things, the more it gets in the way of what we've need. end pr

and so i'm here to tell you congressman jim jordan and i, i know he is guest many times with you here, lou. lou: sure. >> we're calling on our house leadership to go ahead with a repeal bl to put it on the president's desk, at least do what we did in 2015 when president barack obama vetoed that. there is no reason why we can't pass it through the house and through the senate. we need to do it and act now. enough talking. it is time for action. lou: you and other members of the freedom caucus, many other members of the conference, i mean, i have got to ask you, congressman, is the leadership in the house, are they just lazy? what is the reason for these delays? why don't they have have plan and why aren't they making sense here? and where is the tax cut? >> yeah. i can tell you that they're not lazy. they are working behind the scenes but it is time to make a decision, lou. when you look at tax cuts, when you look coming doing tax reform, i met with chairman brady today. i said it is important that we quit talking about this behind closed doors. that we have the debate. we have it out

[ crowd chanting "give us your insurance" ] >> "give us your insurance." when congress is home, there are 150 town hall and constituent events like this across the country. for a lot of people, d.c. is inaccessible. the phone lines have been jammed. people are getting a chance for the first time in a while to talk to representatives face to face. this is day one of something that's going to go on all week. people apparently have a lot to say. that does it for us tonight. we will see you again tomorrow. now it's time for "the last word >>> after trump's national security adviser michael flynn resigned last week, trump offered the position to retired admiral robert harwood w

congressman jim jordan is a republican from ohio who serves on the judiciary committee.hat do you make of what manu just reported? >> look, i think in a large sense, the president should be given wide latitude when he nominates someone for a position. if the democrats aren't going to even show up for committee, i don't know that the republicans had a whole lot of options left to do. so this seems appropriate for me to do this. what's frustrating is, most americans are tired of these games. they just want us to come here and do what we told them we were going to do, and accomplish the things they sent us here to accomplish. >> and i understand where you're going with that, but here's the thing. critics of jeff sessions are afraid he will not challenge president trump on constitutional issues, because he's such a trump ally, right? i know you're going to disagree with that, but can you reach out to those critics and assure them that checks and balances in place in this country will stand? >> yeah, even former vice president joe biden, as long as jeff sessions takes the oat

and joining us now is republican congressman jim jordan of ohio who sits on the house oversight committee. thank you very much for joining us. >> you bet. >> heather: so which is correct? how long will this take to repeal, replace? what are we doing? >> hopefully a lot sooner than those time frames that were given. frankly that's what we told the voters we were going to do. as you say, health care costs are going up. deductible costs are going up. when this thing is such a disaster, the best thing we can do is get rid of i as soon as possible. i think when you get rid of obama, health care is cheaper and health care is better. let's do it as quickly as we can. >> heather: at the same time, you have to have something in place in order to do that. you also have to have a secretary. you don't have that yet. >> all of that would be helpful, if the senate can confirm dr. price, that would be helpful. the replacement is critical but most important is to repeal this disastrous law. right now we have thoughts from folks in congress saying we have the cassidy collins plan which is basically if you
