Obligation freely without any purpose of well and faithly discharge the duties of the office of which you are about to enter, so help you god. I do. Congratulations you are now all members of the 115th members of congress. And nancy pelosi handing the gavel over to paul ryan. Speaking of votes to come, one vote that will not happen this plan to gut the ethics agency, so on the eve of this new 115th congress in the closeddoor session, the House Republicans had voted to kill, that serves as the independent watchdog but then the tweets coming from the president elect and then in an about face the republicans decided to scrap that bid and it remains for now. So manu raju has been on capitol hill. Im sure your head is spinning, but youre cool as a cucumber, walk me through it. Reporter yeah, last night the Republican House did not see this coming, this was a proposal from bob good llad from virgini. This is a long Standing Agency that sometimes over reachreacho their view sometimes in the view of headlines and they wanted to put it in more over vivieovervi very outraged across the political spectrum because of the way they tried to do it behind closed doors, this morning they said their hands were tied and were going to prove it in a full house this afternoon, but then donald trump tweeted an he criticized what the Republican House members were doing, it prompted them to have second thoughts about Going Forward. Im told in this afternoon meeting that House Republicans had this emergency meeting to discuss what to do Going Forward. There was discussion that about donald trump tweeting and there was a discussion they may not have the votes to pass the package after the president elect made his opinion known. They said they were going to let this watchdog ethic stay intact and about to approve this Going Forward and so a real about face from republicans, but also recognition that this is not the optics they want to have on day one of the new congress when they have such an ambitious agenda and as donald trump has said time and again, it is time to drain the swamp, this created the opposite message, which is why a lot of members changed their minds Going Forward. On the mindchanging, do you know if there was any sort of back channel between trump and any of these republicans on capitol hill or mike pence and his old buddy ons ties on the h was it really because of the succession of two tweets . Reporter there was not much discussion, it was a decision of trump to move forward, and it just showed in how much difficult position they would be Going Forward and create headlines and two years from now in the reelection races the democrats were not going to let them forget this saying that even the president elect agreed with them so the tweet added to the growing pressure and they decided behind closed doors to unanimously drop it and move forward. Thank you. I want to bring in the executive chief of the daily beast. And the rnc previous director. Great to have all of you on, happy new year. Happy new year. Doug, hi, how many years do you have on the hill . About ten. Ten years . What do you make of that, two tweets and it all got scrapped. Two years, House Republicans were very tense, i was working for eric canner and we were very worried how many votes he was going to get. This was supposed to be a good, smart moving forward day for republicans so start the agenda under the trump administration, but the first day was a stumble and what they need to do is go back and focus on the bold ticket items, tax reform, get out of their own way and move forward. What did you say jacque . It was a famous moment. Was it a trump moment . From a p. R. Perspective, but he understands good press and bad press and he understood this was bad press and had to see how much flak he was getting. Paul ryan and Kevin Mccarthy didnt want them do to this and then it gets scrapped. It shows whos running the show. And donald trump has been under fire for a lot of business firings and now hes able to take credit for winning on ethics. Thats an excellent point. Bill go. I think they made donald trump look like the grown up in the room. This was so stunningingly stupid for them to do that. It was supposed to be new day, new team, new america, and instead they laid a giant goose egg. It shows number one that some of the crazies are still in charge, that paul ryan are pretty weak they couldnt stop this the f t first time around and theres a tendency to over reareach and i think that should be a warning Going Forward. Thats a good point. Kevin mccarthy and paul ryan didnt want this and youbobgood that say . It means were not going to agree on everything. President obama and nancy pelosi, werent together on everything. Its not universally popular in congress especially the constitutional black caucus feels that its targeted their members unfairly and not because Congress Wants less ethics but they want to do this job well. This is from the ranking democrat, Chuck Schumer. Here is what he had to say today. America doesnt conduct Foreign Police by tweet, least of all by flattering putin, after confirming that russia interfered if our election, spurning vital intelligence briefings, that should allow democrats and republicans alike. It is utterly amazing that our republican colleagues who have spent years land basting for not being tough enough on putin are now with a few exceptions are under the circumstances early silent. They know each other, new yorkers, apparently have a pretty good relationship, but that was pretty brutal. That was pretty brutal on trump, do you think though he was talking to trump or waving the flag for dems . Sounds like he was waving the flag for dems, because his pain is his gain. Theyre going to have a reckoning on this, right now theyre just talking past each other, but with Rex Tillerson coming up and john mccain, about russia, trump is going to have to come to terms or face a big fight with his own party and democrats for that matter. Bill, do you agree . I was going to say i think the point where Chuck Schumer started out you cannot conduct Foreign Police by tweet. Meaning north korea . Exactly. Where kim jongun says were going to release the missile test firing, and trump tweets dont even think about it. I think it appalling as of now he has not met with foreign agencies to discover what happened in the foreign action, whats more important than that briefing . Doug, what did you think about leader pelosi, this is day one of the 115th, the families are there and everything is so wonderful this washington but what did you think of speaker ryans comments . I say they tend to go longer than band songs, but i think paul ryan tried to unify his own party but also the whole house as much as possible on some things that republicans and democrats can work on together. But thats the job of the speaker day one to present that message. Promised seven years in the making republicans vowing to repeal, replace obamacare. The moment has just about arrived, but republicans have a true plan to replace it. President el elect and presit Obama Meeting tomorrow. And the first families who will be in taen taattendance for the inauguration. Hillary clinton will be there. Back in a moment. The fight over obamacare is on. Republicans now control congress and the fate of the Affordable Care act. A budget resolution was filed today that would put that many motion. Lets go to m. J. Lee, what does this move accomplish . Reporter this is essentially the Republican Party to take the first step to begin repealing obamacare, theyre calling the Obamacare Repeal resolution, essentially this is something that will be debated on for several days according to sources and the second part of this twopart process, committees will be crafting a language for a budget reconciliation bill that goes through a fast track so avoid a filibuster, this holds the language to actually repeal obamacare, this is where sources say will take some weeks, lawmakers have reputation for taking their time, so the fact that republicans moved this fast, to get the ball rolling on repealing obamacare just goes to show how adamant they are to make this a prior to under president elect trump. What can president obama hope to accomplish and conversely Vice President pence heading to the hill to strategize over repealing and replacing. Reporter this is going to be a split screen moment, president obama and mike pence, the president ele president elect. Democrats including president obama, they understand right now theres not a lot they can do to stop republicans from repealing obamacare and speaking to some democratic leaders, they expect to go around and tell the American People and sort of warning them about the consequences of what republicans are trying to do, premiums could go up and instability in the market. So this is the strategy theyre going to do to put the pressure on the republicans and on the republican side, i think the big question is going to be what is going to come after the party has repealed obamacare. Keep in mind the repeal process is actually pretty simple. They have adopt ddone dry runs, this time they dont have a plan on exactly how theyre going to go through with replacing the obamacare so this is going to be a big point of discussion tomorrow. Tom price, well get to him, hhs secretary, with plans to replace. Thank you much. Bill press, let me begin with you on the obamacare note, and m. J. Set it upper affeperfectly. The president going in for one reason, mike pence in for another. For democrats to ramp up support and not chipping every bit of it away, this legacy, what really can the president do or say . Not much. Id be honest with you. He will try to boost the democrats and encourage them to be as strong as they can in their opposition and in getting the message out clear of the advantages of obamacare, but its going to happen and i just say this, brooke, i think republicans have to do this, if they dont repeal obamacare immediately they will lose credibility immediately. They have promised it seven years, its like the dog that catches the car, theyre stuck with this and then what . They dont have a plan. How do you tell 21 million American Family that were going take your insurance away and your kid or spouse gets sick and you go to hospital, the coverage that you have been able to afford for the first time is going to be taken away from you and replaced with what . Nobody knows. Jacque, we know republicans have been singing the chorus of repeal and replace, has there been a fight looming tween the president and republicans over how to handle this . I dont want to say president elect trump doesnt understand, i dont want to sound condesce d condescending, you cant take certain parts that are good parts and leave the parts you dont like. This is all intertwined and is going to be very hard to bills point to unring this bell at this point because it is so complicated and more like a ball of twine than a ball to pick up and run with it. Everything ive head about him hes read about him is come to me, this is how we should repeal and replace. Its like when putting forth a bill forward. It was really annoying, because jacque asked a lot of questions, the result was we werent able to put all of our ducks in a row, thats one of the challenges that House Republicans going are going to face, theyre further along, and there are things they want to keep such as preexisting conditions, but conservatives dont like massive bills like this because when you create an environment its impossible the take it away, to take it away, demonstrates that point. I hear you, but i want to make this point of rand paul, and saying you have to replace simultaneously or otherwise it will be this mess, he said if they fail to repeal it. On the replace. Partial repeal will only ale accelerate the current chaos. I think senator paul has a point. Look, they have had seven years, obamacare has been there seven years. Before that they were debating it two years, republicans still dont have a plan. Well, they have had president obama sitting over at the white house but even doug pointed out they had a chance, they did not come up with their own plan other than price talking about the savings account, maybe the fact that nine years later theres not a better plan. This is going to to be a real problem for them. You cant piecemeal like jacque said. No, its a great point and jacque, no one may know how long this may take, but to bills point, there may not be a change in that lane for some time. Actually, they didnt agree on all the replacement options so until they kind of get their acts together, yeah youre right, could be quite a while. Two or three years. Two or three years . Quickly before i let you go i dont know if i have more time or not, so im just going to keep asking, what do you think of the fact that bill and Hillary Clinton are going to be there for the inauguration . I think its good, i hope she takes a will the of xanax. Shes going need it. Thank you to all of you. Schumer prepares for a showdown. Wait until you hear the compliment though he says he received from the president elect himself. Chuck schumer vowing to hold donald trump account accountable in his very first speech today. He says the democrats will be willing to work with donald trump if he moves in their direction. Dana bash sat down with an interview with senator schumer before he went on the floor, hello, what did he say. Reporter he is clearly trying to walk a very fine line, trying to make clear that he understands that as the Opposition Leader that he is now that he was hoping today as the new democratic leader he would be the majority leader working with Hillary Clinton in the white house, neither happened now he is the Opposition Leader, so the fine line is making fellow democrats especially progressives whov even talk abt working with donald trump makes them realize he is a legislature and wants to get things done. Theyre both new yorkers, and donald trump was one of Chuck Shumers early donors and the two of them had a phone call which schumer confirmed to me that he likes him better than republicans who actually run congress. The president elect reportedly told you he likes you more than his fellow republicans here in congress, did he tell you that . I dont want to get into what he told me. This was reported by someone called from the transition team. Look, i dont know donald trump very well. I never played golf with him, i crossed his path in new york, but thats going to have very little effect. My Guiding Light is going to be the principals of our party and country, helping the middle class and trying to get there. But youre not saying he didnt say that. He said something close to it. Were you surprised to hear a president elect telling a democrat that. When youre in my position, people do like to tend to flatter you so you have to take it with a grain of salt. When he made his speech today as the democratic leader is you were to sum up the speech in one word the hope in schumerland was it would be accountability, he will be focused on that he and those who run congress are held accountable. One thing i thought was interesting was both his parents came from new york, mother and father were there to see their son sworn in as i believe the first jewish leader of either party in congress. How about that. Well when we watch the maiden speech as you put it watching senator schumer take donald trump to task on russia, north korea, and what manu has been all over, with regard to oce, which you know with the Ethics Committee and how that vote got scrapped because of the tweets. Im curious if you think trump is getting too much credit for the tweets because now we hear there were these angry constituents phone calls. And they have been working the hauls since this whole thing blew up and they are reporting thats exactly what is happening. Probably a combination of all of that, Donald Trumps tweets gave the leaders in the house who didnt want to do this in the first place who were surprised by this behind closed doors, yesterday in their first meeting coming back from the holidays, they didnt want this to happen, so they were given some backup by donald trump with their tweets. If the tweets had happened without constituents anger who knows if they would have been able to turn this around as quickly as they did this morning. Thanks. Two new ties to that deadly attack on tonight club in istanb istanbul, well discuss it and to to turkeys former ambassador to that country. Two foreign nationals arrested today at istanbuls airport. They are being held in connection with sunday easter r sunday easts terror attack. His name has not been released but Authorities Say they do have his fingerprints. Mr. Ambassador, welcome back. Thank you, brooke. First on the manhunt, as this counts as theyre look for this man, looking at the region, how confident are you that turkey will find him . The border between turkey and syria remains porous, to move isis supporters in and out of turkey, i dont know how successful theyre going to be to crack down on that. Weve talked about the rise of attacks before in turkey, how does the president handle it . He is facing threat from the pkk which attacks authorities not civilians, but its now focus on International Trade and economy, hes got a military force thats pushing against the isis forces which is why isis is reacting against him, hes trying to defeat isis, but paying a high price for it. You had the attempted coo, then the power broker in syria, why the rise in attacks . How is the kribtdicontributing . Between him and the turkey, and bases in iraq and aligned with the pyd, but he has nonmilitary functions, so thats a possibility. With isis, we hav
