the public option would have saved more money, it would be cheaper because not so many administrative costs. right now, we cannot get that when he had a democratic president and the democratic congress. what i have said to my friends, and many of them are my constituents, there are things we can do for the affordable care act that are important. one is to continue the insurance we had to begin with to see if republicans would be willing, instead of being an obstacle to the enforcement, stopping the funds that would help in high risk corridor doors. that money was there and that would help with the insurance companies in the high risk corridors. some of those things. one thing that the president talked about in the campaign that would help to lower cost, although raising of the lowest rate of increase in its 50 year history being measured is to work with us and make sure the secretary of hhs is able to negotiate for lower prices with the pharmaceutical industry. prescription drugs are the biggest reason for the increase in medical cost. >> speaker pelosi, president trump has spoken about what happened today, acknowledging that he came up short, saying and chuck schumer own obamacare.

there, the justices, we are really kind of, what stuck out to me was the large contingency of democrats, members of the democratic congress who are wearing white. >> yes, most of the women members of the democratic caucus chose to wore white which was the college engine color of the suffrage and i think this was generally in the spirit of the women's march to establish that they are not going to go backwards in terms of their rights and we will all stand for reproductive freedom and for the agenda of the majority of the people in the country who didn't vote for donald trump. that was the extreme oddity of this election that one .9 million million more people voted for hillary clinton then voted for trump who did win a victory in the electoral college , but i think they were manifesting their agenda to move y rward. >> they have a new chairman, tom perez. he served as labor secretary and served in the white house under obama. >> did you know him. >> i didn't get involved in the race. keith ellison was in the race and i tried to show a lot of support for all of them and i'm thrilled that tom perez and keith ellison are work

he said the democratic congress and the white house simply aren't listening. democrats are ramming it through over the public's objections. that was on march 17, 2010. some year after the bill had been introduced. thousands of meetings had been held by republicans and democrats around the country on the bill. and as i said, 79 hearings, 181 witnesses later. that's what chairman brady said. of course, chairman brady, in less than 48 hours, had a markup. now he did not have quite as long a markup. it ended at 4:30 a.m. in the morning. so that was the dead of night. or if you want to pars words, perhaps the dead of the early morning. but nevertheless, most of my public wasn't up watching. i presume even at 4:30, which would have been 1:30 for your public, they weren't up so watching. so this was done out of the sight of the public and is inconsistent, i suggest to my friend, mr. speaker, the majority leader, inconsistent, with the pledge of transparency , openness, and those three quotes that i just read you that said the american people should have the opportunit

we had the opportunity to show what i think was critically important to show that was as paul ryan just said, it is the congress. not republicans, not democratse congress. kevin and i work together very closely to make sure that happened. the firstfirst came, thing i did was go down to see. tv, we see this on debated a lot but we are still friends when the debate is over. if there is one issue that actually strengthens our friendship it is israel. we make sure that issue is a bipartisan issue. applause] >> but so many times on these trips when we bring freshmen to israel, democrats would go when we come republicans the other, i said, when a week overlap a few days. we started that last year and i will tidy what, it is refreshing because we see the exact same thing that we bond together just as we bond together in our votes and we're going to do it again this summer as well with all of the freshmen. i tell us a little bit about what it means to have a freshmen there and israel. or them to understand the issue and for building the bipartisan support. understand the challenges of israel but you do not know it until you see it so you look over. y

obamacare, we are back to the drawing board to review know, nancy pelosi, the leader of the democrats in congress, actually said yesterday was a victory for the american people. knows better. yesterday was not a victory for the american people. it was a victory for the status quo in washington, d.c., and it was a victory for the disaster of obamacare. victoryomise you that will not last very long. host: vice president mike pence yesterday and west virginia. cq weekly -- spinning their wheels, the health care bill's demise. ann is next, democrat. good morning. are you with us? we will go next to don from las vegas. caller: good morning. how are you? host: how are you? caller: i am fine. it is early. i got up and saw you, and i wanted to speak to you about this issue. , the democrats and the republicans, they fight all the time. but basically, my opinion is the think we have to realize that he is a determined human being. he is very, very determined. now just because he lost this issue at this time does not mean he cannot circle back and maybe tighten up some things and maybe get some suggestions f

congress, the republican in this congress so far, the republican idea of bipartisanship has meant to both the president and the congress, republicans in congress. we come up with our plan, and you democrats should support it. that's not bipartisanship. the president, the republican leader, house speaker have come up with issue after issue, including the supreme court nominee. no democratic consultation and then said the only way you can achieve bipartisanship is just vote with us. you can't improve the health care system with only republican votes on reconciliation without consulting any democrats, without a single sentence of democratic input and call that an attempt at bipartisanship. you can't do an infrastructure package of tax credits and no real spending and then ask for bipartisan support. and you certainly can't outsource, you can't outsource your entire selection of supreme court justices to be hand-picked by the hard right special interest dominated heritage foundation and federalist society and then ask for us to vote for that nominee as a show of bipartisan support. bipartisanship means sitting down with the other side, getting our ideas and hashing out a compromise. it does

we overlapped and we had the opportunity to show what i think is critically important to show, and that is that as paul ryan just said, it's the congress. not democratsublicans. it's the congress. kevin and i worked very closely to make sure that happens. >> i want to -- when i first became leader, first thing i did is go down and see steny. we may debate but we're still friends when the debate is over. and is there one issue that actually strengthens our friendship it's israel. we make sure that issue is a bipartisan issue. [ applause ] but so many times on these trips where we bring fresh men to israel, democrats would go one week, republicans go the other. i said, why don't we overlap a few days? we started that last year. and i will tell you what. it's refreshing. because they see the exact same thing but they bond together just as we bond together in our votes and we're going to do it again this summer, as well, with all the freshmen going. >> outstanding. you know, tell us about what it means to have freshmen there in israel, both for them to understand the issue and for building the bipartisan support for israel. >> well, you can hear all abou

transparency that you had for a lot of those investigations conducted by the republican congress during the obama administration, by the democratic congress during the bush administration. >> and the first time this will be done in public will be march 20th when the house intelligence committee will hold hearings, much of it will be open. to me it's interesting that fbi director james comey was up on capitol hill yesterday meeting with congressional leaders. it seems to me they must know at least some of the answers to the questions, the burning questions out there, did president obama order wiretaps on president trump, something for which there is no evidence of. i would think they would flat out ask the fbi director that. i wonder what will happen the next ten days before this public hearing, how much of this might like an out. >> it's a great question. we've seen leaks from within the fbi, where apparently told the justice department he wanted them to sort of publicly disavow this theory from president trump that president had wiretapped him, had wiretapped trump tower before the election. the congressional folks that have tal

that was biden's understanding and that is what he did under the democrats. congressdemocrats need to understand what is good for the goose is good for the gander. you cannot expect the republicans not to use the inlear option to get gorsuch because the democrats under the nuclearsed option to get all of obama's nominees into place. they have normalized the nuclear option. with or without democratic support, judge gorsuch will be approved under the nuclear option. what makes this even more insidious is the fact that if one of the judges falls into bad you were is dead, going to have the same nuclear option on the table because henry reed used the nuclear option. host: you talk about normalizing the nuclear option. it is not been normalized for supreme court nominees just yet but the editorial board of the washington times say republicans should go nuclear on the supreme court nominee if they have to. here is how they and one of their editorials. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell must be willing to pull the trigger on the nuclear option and confirm the judge 42 as

the job. >> you think you will get president trump to do that? >> i think the congress, at least some of the members of congress, the democrats in congress will takeon him to recant and apologize. >> i want to get your take on this. the cbo scored the health care plan, and mulvaney took issue with the use of the word damage control, and saying cbo got it totally wrong. the argument is trump came out and said it's a big, fat beautiful negotiation, and there's room to give he's making clear. here's how paul ryan put it. >> tom price at hhs, brings more to the table, and the other bill we will be passing, interstate shopping across state lines, and medical liability reform, and those will drop premiums even further and make health care even more accessible. >> republicans' argument is this is part one of a three-part plan. is it too soon for democrats to call this and look at this like a win? >> it's dead on arrival. this bill is not going to pass the senate for sure. maybe not even the house. all the american people need to understand is that doctors and health care providers and the aarp are all opposed to it. the only people who are supporting it

that was the time the democratic control of congress and obviously democratic president. now with a republican president and republican congress, the house preparing to debate this afternoon the american health care act.

the speech entirely. other democrats greeted it, wondering who is the real donald trump. we saw he was controlled and calm, uncontempt for congress. >> reporter: the democrats staged a sit-in of sorts as president trump addressed congress in this first joint session speech. the president's sweeping rhetoric was met with stillness and silence on one side of the aisle. congress clearly as divided as the nation. there were other visible signs of decent. some democrats sported blue ribbons. and health minority leader nancy pelosi joined dozens of congresswomen who wore white, symbolizing those who fought for women's rights to vote. >> it supports women who are saying we're not going to go back. >> reporter: barbara lee and others in the congressional black caucus wore black flowers. lee says she was unimpressed by the president's more moderate tone. >> i hope our constituents say while his tone was different, look at the reality of his budget, look at the reality of the cabinet officials, millionaires, billionaires. >> reporter: at times democrats did offer tentative applause on topics of jobs. the importance of nato, funding infrast

that was the time the democratic control of congress and obviously democratic president. now with a republican president and republican congress, the house preparing to debate this afternoon the american health care act. it's on hold until a couple of things happen. at this hour, the freedom caucus meeting with president trump at the white house. also, earlier today, the house debated the same-day rule for consideration of the legislation. we'll show that to you in just a bit. and we're expecting to hear more from house speaker paul ryan later this afternoon scheduled for 3:30 eastern. we will keep you posted on that. as you just saw, we're opening up our phone lines to hear from you for the next 10 to 15 minutes, your thoughts on what's ahead for the republican plan and what you may have seen there in the comments of former president obama in 2010. 202-748-8920 for democrats. republicans use 202-748-8921. and for all others, 202-748-8922. tweet @cspan. shane, the chief white house correspondent for "politico" tweeting about that a half-hour ago or so saying that the white

briefly, while i have you, your view on a letter grade on how the democratic congress is doing and standingyou sometimes have been more aggressive than your colleagues. >> too early to tell. it is hard. democrats are in the minority and both the house and the senate. but in the senate, especially, there are 48 senators on the democratic side, they have some very significant strength. i think we'll know more in the next couple of months about the fight they're willing to make. >> your final comment, make a derivatives joke if you want. >> we have that, i'll let that ride. look, one of the parts they would like to take down of dodd frank that trump bannon republicans is the consumer financial protection bureau. that has already in its short life given out about $12 billion to people who have been ripped off by the credit sector. so, you know, that's a direct hit on the very people whom these regulations protect. it is a really clear example of what you sacrifice when you go down this path. >> super important, we're out of time. if you gentlemen would be willing, i'd love to do another deregul

but then when you round out the story and look at the democratic congress members who have also met withssian ambassador it is like whoa, everybody is doing this now. and then bernie you look at the address in congress on tuesday night and guess who was sitting there on the floor of the house chamber with democrats? there is your russian ambassador. this cannot be viewed in a vacuum. >> you are absolutely right. you know, i don't often agree with donald trump in terms of his behavior but i agree with him in what he said in the tweet that you referred to, that the democrats are overplaying their hand. the progressives have this bad habit, bill, of always overplaying their hand. today it's accusations of perjury. yesterday, today and tomorrow it will be more calls for impeachment of donald trump. then there are street demonstrations that sometimes turn violent. there are the non-stop comparisons to donald trump and hitler. 2018 is a long way off and i don't have a crystal ball. but i get the distinct impression that moderates out there, moderates people even in blue states who didn't neces
