melissa: joining me congressman louie gohmert from texas, thanks for joining us.at do you think about that? is it a leap of faith that you take all three three phases will come? >> that is what i learned here in washington, you don't take leaps much faith. you must, you have to verify. and you know, reagan said trust by verify. around this town you have just to verify. one of the most popular sayings here in washington it. david: no matter how cynical you get it is never enough to catch up. i was hearing my good friend, tom price. he and i got elected to to congress at tame same. nobody knows the issue of health care legislation better than tom. if you could support tom price's bill, this is the same thing. no, it isn't. tom's section 2 and 3 have complete repeal of obamacare and that didn't make its way into this. melissa: but the argument that they make is, because of the way the rules work, because of the way reconciliation works and the way the law works you have to do it in faces, phases. you're saying that is untrue? >> yeah. we can't do everything in the th

very strong words from louie gohmert.ne example of one lawmaker saying i'm not voting for this. >> he is right in many he respects. rules of house say you have to have a bill on floor dealing with revenue, raising revenue or reducing revenue. all things republicans said, purchasing insurance across state lines, get rid of individual mandate, you can't do this under reconciliation. many things conservatives are saying yes we'll have this great bill it, will do, take away all the things we don't like, but simply under the rules of house and senate you can't do that. the notion we'll have a three-step process, pass the bill ryan just pulled. allow tom price secretary of hhs to do regulatory reform and have a third shot, no way, ashley. we'll get one shot at this. this is why it is critical, even though they punted here and decided to call a timeout it is critical they get all people talked about, moderates. bring in coalition people. ashley: is that possible based on what we know so far? >> absolutely. ashley: is there a bil

you heard louie gohmert.t more of the difficult phases done in the second and third fades. we could have got continue done in the first phase but we were lied to. how does he continue on as speaker? >> louie gohmert is such a trooper. a real patriot. somebody who stands that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, you're not going to get different results. and there has been efforts to try and get rid of these establishment beltway figures who have paid lip service to limited government and then stabbed conservatives and the americans in the back every single time. maybe a new revolt against that so-called -- the leadership. failed leadership will finally work this time. and that has to come from inside the house. abby: yeah. well, you have former speaker newt gingrich who was on last night. he compared it to president trump owning a business u and he said if this were to happen to one of his apartment complexes or a restaurant or a hotel, he said people would be fired from this. this is not wha

gohmert: i'm louie gohmert, the newest member of the freedom caucus. we're told we're known by our enemies and we're known by our friend. i'm glad to be known by this group of friends. all right, i'm glad we finally got a bill out. it's not 2,500 pages. it's a starting point. and some people asked what i told president trump when he came down the aisle for the state of the union and one of the things i said was, you're being told we can't do some of he things we did two years ago with obamacare. and it was true, it's still true. so as long as we're able to get amendments to the floor that will fix some huge problems with the bill that's now been filed, then we'll be ok. but they better not be a rule that prevents amendments that are badly needed to fix this flawed bill. that would be a major problem. we don't need, as mark said, we don't need to start new entitlement programs and we certainly don't need to have the bottom line effect, what mark meadows was talking about that prices of insurance don't go down. so there are things that have to be done, t

congressman louie gohmert, i'm a 52-year-old widow. obamacare is a major financial problem for me. someone needs to fix the health care system. one third of the money i get from my deceased husband's retirement fund is given to health care. my deductible alone is $7,000. she has an exclamation point. i'm angry with the government decidinging how i should spend what little -- deciding how i should spend what little money i have. i had to get a part-time job just to put gas in my car. so i clean tables and i mop floors. i'm physically unable to work full-time. i'm frusterated with the fact i had to move back in with my parents just to make ends meet. would you like that? fulfilling? could or would you do something to relieve this burden? this is from a 52-year-old idow in my district. that's what we've done with the burden obamacare. we here in congress decided, you know what, we're going to tell people like this widow how she has to spend what little money she has left. we're going to force this woman to go clean tables and mop floors when she's physical underable to work full time,

louie gohmert interesting comment, came out in texas radio broadcast.a congressman from texas. now priebus is giving donald trump advice causing him to turn on the very people that stood with him when paul ryan and all these others were abandoning him. this is what gohmert went on local texas news show. my producer brian schwartz fished that out. this just shows you the level of acrimony. we should point out we asked the white house for comment whether it's priebus behind donald trump pulling the strings. that is what they gave us. it is insulting to suggest that president trump would so easily be convinced to abandon his core political beliefs and steadfast supporters. what they're essentially saying no one is behind him. he is doing it himself. the freedom caucus believes its priebus. they will put pressure on donald trump to try to get rid of priebus. we should point out, i think this is where you, the viewer that cares about your money should care about this story. this is one thing, if you can't get conservative house pubs on board on a budget, on

louie gohmert was so kind to me. >> people were coming from all over the galley. >> sean: you invited 2014 to see obama. this was much, much better. so he says he wants to reach ou out. all of you individually seem skeptical. why? >> because we don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. obamacare, had to read the bill first. number two, 300 million people in this country we care about. we don't want to worry about the big insurers and talk about an insurance problem. you had it right in our bill, what we have to do is bend the curve, right? everyone's premiums are going up 20% still. the first thing you've got to do is inject free market economics. paul ryan reiterated that too with health care savings accounts, portability. believe it or not, it is a legal right now if you want to have a catastrophic plan. >> sean: mentioning those as talking points. if you are worried, when those insurance guys walked into the white house, they were both looking at their shoe leather. they were embarrassed. it was a creative 18 million more customers and they would get covered and they would mak

from washington, two members of that committee, eric swalwell, democrat from north carolina, and louie gohmertpublican from texas. you did not sign a letter asking for mr. comey to appear. you do not think it is worthy? >> enter go places in the letter, it mentions wanting to be briefed by comey about the russian situation, and for anybody that does watch fox, we know that is a big audience, we have seen reports about the cia actually says they have the capability to hack in and leave a russian footprint. we had heard clearly from a number of people that there is absolutely no evidence of the russians interfering with election. i think it is a waste of time. but i'm more concerned about, bill, the people within the intelligence committee that have lied to us in congress and lied two of us on the judiciary committee for a while, when they have said, look, you'll never know. if it picks up an american citizen, that name will be masked, it will take a court order to release that. >> bill: comey could address that. look, i understand what you're saying. >> i want to know about the russian situatio
