his name tom mcarthur and the mcarthur amendment that's the most identifiable name associated with republicans' latest effort to kill the affordable care act and at home in his district in new jersey, his constituents just went nuts against it. and then last night in the middle of the night republicans once again had to yank that bill. they want to repeal obamacare. they said they could repeal obamacare. they tried and failed once already. they decided they wanted to do it again this week. they would try again this week. they whipped republican votes on it all week long and all day long yesterday. there are some reports that suggest that whipping republican votes on this thing and building republican support for this thing is the reason mike pence had to come home a day early from his pacific trip. last night they were still holding 11 eleventh-hour meetings to twist enough republican arms to get this obamacare repeal bill passed. they wanted it passed by the 100th day. bloomberg news reports that republicans spent the whole week tinkering with their obamacare plan. hoping to give trump a legi

we're talking about the mcarthur amendment proposed by tom mcarthur of new jersey, allowing states to seek waivers to weaken some of the obamacare insurance reforms, including preexisting conditions, including the benefits that insurers must cover in their policies and ban on charging more based on a person's health background. where do you come down on that? >> well, actually, it doesn't do anything to preexisting conditions because, again, it requires those governors who would choose that to prove they have high risk pools that will cover those individuals. almost all the high risk pools are heavily subsidized. we think it is a good solution. it is a solution a lot of states like maine and maryland had in place before the american affordable care act. we think that's the way to go to bring down premiums for the vast majority of americans while preserving coverage for people with preexisting conditions. >> it is interesting. premiums had never gone down, even well before obamacare. they were always up. in fact, in the last five years, they've gone up by less. do you really believe th

we need to respect that and that is what this mcarthur amendment does. he is a leading moderate. the cochair of a tuesday group. good shot, archer. that was pretty cool. i think this is a coalescing thing. >> is there potentially a risk? speaker ryan: if we do not do what we said we're going to do is the risk. we all campaigned on replacing this bill that is collapsing. the american health care system is in peril. we have a moral obligation to prevent people from getting hurt and stopping the demand -- and stopping the damage from continuing. we promised we would do this. if you violate that promise, that is the greater risk to a person's siege. regarding subsidies, you have said the administration should continue the payments. omb is saying this is an issue that congress needs to deal with. what is the future? it seems the white house and house republicans are on two different pages. speaker ryan: we are in litigation so i will not go into details but it is the difference of separation of powers. existing litigation. the white house has been making those payments while that is p

this is mcarthur boulevard. right across the street can you see the bmw that crashed over the embankment. police confirmed to us this is part of the crime scene. take a look just down the street. this is the exxon gas station we weal our area stop to get gas. this is part of the crime scene but police are still trying to figure out what crime happened here. the video we want to show you first is of money. apparently drop bade man still on the loose. man ran through the area with bag of money. some of the bills were flying. according to the witness, men were arguing and they held them until police arrived. the second man is being questioned by police. why did the man hold the suspect not knowing he was armed. >> he said, your cousin isn't getting away it and you owe me $10,000 and you will bring me to him. but they were scheming. that's why i was asking for help. he was ao because we're going to get caught now. >> now what you're looking at new is video of that person of interest. out here for some time talking t

it's congressman tom mcarthur's amendment that i think the freedom caucus has agreed to.and under this amendment -- and i don't know, you know, i don't watch the mainstream media much. i don't have time. i'm either doing this or doing my work, so i don't know what the media said about it, but what they're talking about is the mcarthur amendment. and i don't see that happening, particularly coming from the moderates. >> yeah, i hope it doesn't happen. i think think it's under the coy rating provision. that's how the technicality's being pushed. >> well, here -- again, and i read this -- community rule except for waivers will be maintained. that is the commitment this amendment makes. >> they're going to waive it, that's the problem. >> except for limited waivers. but i can promise you knowing congressman mcarthur that he is not going to support anything that imposes any kind of hardship on people getting their insurance. >> yes. we appreciate that. thank you. >> thank thank you. this lady in the black right here. yeah. >> all right, i'm going to do a couple of thank yous.

>> tom mcarthur is the leading moderate in congress. it is his amendment.s is -- >> -- frustrations by his fellow moderate colleagues? >> i don't be think so. mcarthur, working in insurance, understanding the math, mecha c mechanics and science of insurance has come up with an amendment we think works well. it gets to where we all want to go. we want to bring down costs. we want to preserve protections for people with pre-existing conditions and we want to respect the fact that states, you know, have different issues, different health care marketplaces. we want to give states greater flexibility so they can get the maximum reduction and policies and premiums so we can get the best possible health care system. what we've learned is a cookie cutter, one size fits off health care system doesn't work for america. it's a diverse country. different states have different ru rules and systems. we need to respect that. mcarthur is a co-chair of the tuesday group. he's one of the leading shot -- sorry. it was a good shot. pretty cool. one of the leading members of th

i am interested to know whether guest's thought truman wrongfully fired mcarthur when mcarthur wanted to confront north korea during the korean war. guest: well, certainly the united states under harry truman and douglas macarthur was confronting north korea and china, so i don't think that's quite the issue. the issue at the time was whether or not general mcarthur was insubordinate. this goes to a difference, the fundamental issue of civil military relations. at the end of the day, civilian authority rules and you may disagree if you are in uniform. then you have a choice. you can be quiet and salute which is your duty wearing the uniform and having taken the oath to the constitution or you resign and you can be very public after that. so as it turns out, both president truman and douglas macarthur basically followed along the very, very long-standing traditions in the u.s. of civil authority dominating over the military. host: carol has this treat. someone as unhinged as the north korean factor, any common sense into the equation? guest: i think we sometimes overplay unhinged in th

about this amendment being tomosed i representative mcarthur, it aims to attract enough conservative supporters of the measure could pass. will be discussed saturday in a conference wide call to republicans prepared to return here. the mcarthur amendment would allow states to obtain permission from the federal government to write their own lists of essential health benefits and allow insurers to charge people with biggest thing conditions higher premiums as long as they make a high-risk pool available to those patients. as a concession to moderates, the amendment would back requirements for essential health benefits, which currently is left up to states. you said you already see problems with this. guest: first of all, if listeners were paying attention, they were probably scratching their heads and asking what the heck does that mean? the devil is in the details. moreuestion is how much would you have to pay if you have a pre-existing condition. if i were a democrat, i would be listening to this and rubbing my hands, because i do not think it is a winner. host: amy in texas, indepen

the leader of the conservative freedom caucus, mark meadows, and tom mcarthur, have been working on a compromise agreement that they believe will deliver 18 to 20 new "yes" votes from republicans. >> but a republican house member, familiar with the talks, tells cnn, he's skeptical the freedom caucus can actually deliver those votes. president trump surrounding hopeful the third time around will be the charm for the health care reform bill. >> the plan gets better and better and better, and it's gotten really, really good. and a lot of people are liking it a lot. we have a good chance of getting it soon. i'd like to say next week, but it will be, i believe we will get it and whether it's next week or shortly thereafter. >> many are questioning why the gop would attempt to repeal and replace obamacare again just weeks after flaming out on the issu issue. >>> no comment from the white house after it was announced gonzalo curiel will hear the case of a man who was illegally deported to mexico. he's the same judge who was attacked last year by then candidate trump for his handling of the t

mcarthur, the new jersey congressman who leads the tuesday group.hat we don't know yet is how many of his freedom caucus members he could bring along. he's going to have to bring along i'd estimate 20 to 25 of them. the freedom caucus has never achieved something like that, where they have negotiated a deal and brought along the votes and you still have a lot of moderates that have been vocally opposed to the meadows mf mcarthur amendment. that's a tongue twister. charlie dent from pennsylvania is one of them. i think we can say this is real progress. i don't yet know that we could say that it is going to get them somewhere where you have a bill that gets to the senate and of course that's a whole other story. >> do you think in any way this actually makes it a little bit easier for the white house because it no longer has to thread the needle as much between, you know, between the freedom caucus and the tuesday group? does it make their job easier in that sense? >> yeah, definitely. i think that, and you know, and i sat around with a group of voter

so we see this as a good thing. >> on healthcare, does the mcarthur amendment get you to 216?thur, one of the leaders of the tuesday group has a lot of experience in insurance. knows insurance markets inside and out. worked in high-risk pool settings so we think the mcarthur amendment is a great way to lower premiums, give states more flexibility while protecting people with pre-existing conditions. those are the three things we want to achieve. you have to remember obamacare is collapsing and people are getting hit with double digit premium increases. whatever we can do to get the premiums down and make sure the guarantee for people with pre-existing conditions is met but give states -- every state is a little different. we had a high-risk pool in wisconsin that worked well. they had a pool in maine that worked well. we want to give states the ability to customize the reforms to maximize the ability to lower premiums and protect people with pre-existing conditions and that's exactly at the heart of what the mcarthur amendment does and helps us get to consensus. susan. blurtin

they don't have the votes with this mcarthur amendment. will they be able to wrangle the votes? because clearly the moderates are uneasy. >> it's a tipping point question. historically the house republicans since they have taken over has almost always be able to pass whatever they are trying to pass by moving it far enough to the right since 1995. if you would bet, you would bet on that. but i think they have run into a real problem and the core problem here is three complelet people in washington remember is btu. bill clinton and al gore kind of coerced really house democrats into voting for an energy tax that they knew had no chance to pass the senate, they took the tough vote, many are hammered over that vote. if you are a republican from any kind of competitive district, and you are looking at a bill that was at 17% approval before about they decided to take away the nationwide proetections for pre-existing conditions which according to the "washington post" 70% of the public supports, there is very little chance that that mcarthur amendment or anything like it will come out

. >> this was an office visit paid to the new jersey office of tom mcarthur who wrote part of the new of the republican's bill to kill affordable care act. his home district constituents calculated that mcarthur's revised version of the health care bill would throw more than 30,000 people off of health insurance just in that one congressional district and so they came to tom mcarthur's office to tell him

the mcarthur amendment, it seems -- it takes issues central to the concerns of the freedom caucus andf kicks them to the states. have you polled your members, you yourself, is this okay with you? >> i have not polled members, i have been making calls trying to find out what's going on. we are dealing with bullet points and ideas. and tentative agreements, and we have to see the language. and i will say that's everybody is working real hard to give president trump a victory. they want to do everything they to be deliver on this short of repealing obamacare. that's what's causing all the problem. we -- charles: you have come to grips with that, though. you have come to grips with the fact that this will not be a repeal, it will be some form of compromise short of repeal. so you have given up a big chunk of what drove your passion. what else are you willing to give up? >> i don't know that i'm willing to give a straight repeal. but what is the amendment going to look like? and odds are it's not going to be at least for me personally since i promised repeal, i don't know how you can go ba

we've seen no text yet about this potential mcarthur amendment that would change this bill? >> well, you said it right there. we've seen no text yet. so once we start to see details, i think we get a little bit closer to being able to say "yes" ityes, it's a possibility, no it trying to get something done. you have pressure being applied by the white house, by the leadership. let's get this done. but at the same time, i don't see that the puzzle pieces have changed ready on the table. i don't understand exactly how with what we've seen they can get something past where they couldn't before because the fundamentals really haven't changed. >> if you think about it, right now we're just dealing with the house. we haven't begun to think about the senate. never mind -- no one's really seen the language of this bill, and then you have the president sort of coming up against this first 100 days. why this urgency to get this done next week when it really doesn't seem really that way. is it more the president needing to show an effort for his base, or is there really something there
