What impact does it have on the president s overall agenda . Here are the numbers. 2027488000 for democrats. 2027488001 if you are a republican. Or independents, 2027488002. Us a tweet or join us on facebook. Good sunday morning. Thanks for being with us. This is a story from inside cq weekly. The demise of the healthcare bill shows it is far from enacting landmark legislation. There is this headline from the mcclatchy newspapers. Can republicans govern if they cannot keep a promise they made for seven years . The story begins this way. Republicans exalted in november when they won the white house and both congressional chambers, promising aggressive moves on health care, taxes, and immigration, but a spectacular stumble yesterday, Vice President mike pence, who was in West Virginia talking about the president s , here is part of what the Vice President have to say. [video clip] the president and i are grateful for speaker ryan and all the House Republicans listed with us in this effort to begin the end of obamacare, but as we all learned yesterday, congress was not ready. You saw it. With 100 of house democrats, every single one, and a handful of republicans standing in the way, the president s planned to appeal and replace obamacare, we are back to the onboard. Nancy pelosi actually said yesterday was a victory for the american people. West virginia 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. But i promise you that victory will not last very long. Host Vice President mike pence in West Virginia. This is the headline inside the new york times. Speaker paul ryan is left badly bruised by the help defeat health defeat. Dynamics could shift quickly. Several of mr. Trumps advisers have been casting blame on mr. Ryan, who is close with the presidency. Mr. Trump ha is also known to grow angry over time when faced with public embarrassment. That from inside the new york times. This is from the National Review. It is the editorial available this morning on the website. Republicans more or less fell into a losing strategy. They begin by thinking they could quickly reveal obamacare and replace it at leisure. We know many republicans on the hill that this morning from National Review. Here is more with speaker ryan. He met with reporters friday after announcing the bill would be pulled. We want to secure the border. We want to build our military. We want to get the deficit under control. We want infrastructure and tax reform. The last question about tax reform, yes, this makes tax reform more difficult, but it does not make it impossible. We will proceed with tax reform and continue with tax reform. That is an issue i know quite a bit about. I used to run a committee. I spoke with the president , the treasury secretary, and his economic advisers today about tax or form. We are going to proceed with tax reform. This makes it difficult. It is 1 trillion, but that just means the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. We will fix the rest of the tax code. Hisnt think this prologue for other things because there are other part of our agenda that we have even more agreement on what to achieve. We had more agreement on the need and the nature of tax reform and funding the government and rebuilding the military and securing the border. This issue had a big difference of opinion not whether we should repeal and replace obamacare, but just how we should replace it. That is the growing pains of government. We were a tenyear Opposition Party where being against eggs was easy to do. You just have to be against it. Now in three months, we try to go to a governing party where we have to get 216 people to agree with each other on how we do things. We were not just their today there today. Host speaker ryan friday after the Health Care Bill is from the house floor. The developments we followed on friday. We are getting your reaction on what is next for the president s agenda. We welcome our listeners on sirius xm. Bbcou are watching on the channel in Great Britain on this sunday afternoon, we welcome you to these nation the station as well.

It is not that democrats or independents or republicans, we all get sick. We all need insurance. I personally believe we should have instruments for everybody. It should be mandatory. There is one thing in america. Republicans are saying repeal and replace. Seven years they have been halloween repeal, reveal been hollering repeal, repeal. Host thanks for the call. The president yesterday morning with this tweet on obamacare. Obamacare will explode and we will get together and piece together a Great Health Care plan for the people. Do not worry. Yesterday from President Trump. Hillary clinton also using twitter to talk about health care being a right. Carl is joining us from West Virginia on the republic. Gooline. Good morning. Caller how many more days are you going to cover this . You covered it for three hours yesterday. Are we going to hear this all next week . Host we are talking about what is next on the agenda, what impact it has on taxes and infrastructure and roads and bridges and the wall. Caller i think you guys just want to beat up on the gop for a couple days. That is my opinion. I know you will probably never take my call again. Host the National Review is is saying get back to work and that is a conservative publication. Caller you never read anything good about trump. Nothing. It has been ever since trump has been in office. You guys have hammered him every day. Seen complaints from democrats at the start of the Obama Administration and republicans at the start of the was illustration. We are talking about what is in the newspapers and adding your voice to the conversation. Caller that is what the government has to offer. That is the way i look at it. Host adding your voice to the conversation. Lets go to betty on the democrats live from chicago. Caller thank you. How are you doing . Host doing great. Caller this same that West Virginia is that you are beating up on trump, it is not that you are beating up on trump, you are letting people know that this failed trying to get rid of obamacare. I bet you he is one of the guys that need insurance. Let me say this before you cut me off. If getting rid of obamacare was something because it was really bad, i could understand it, but it is because president obama got it through. They wanted to keep some of the same things he had, but he didnt want their name on it. Republicans, let me say this to you. The same guys that want to get rid of health care, they have the best of health care. How can you sit around with people that have helped her for life telling you you do not eat health care . Seven years. Why did they not have a plan . They never had a plan to give us insurance or replace this insurance. They wanted to repeal it. You have been working on this for seven years. Why did you fail friday . Also, why would they think any democrat with a good heart and watched all of these town halls with people saying if you jiggling my insurance, i would die, how could you with any kind of moral and compassion, with all of them say they are christians, how can you stand someone like donald trump and republicans taking away your health care . Host thanks for the call. A couple of tweaetets. Jodeie. M the headline this morning from the front page of the new york times, trump becomes ensnared in a gop civil war. On the republican line from new jersey, anthony is next. Good morning. Caller good morning. A lot of people forget that this obamacare thing is imploding. What they did when they ran it through, they do not ask for republicans. They went ahead and did it. Thereto pelosi you have to read it after it has passed. What kind of insanity is that . Obamacare is like a titanic sitting in the bottom of the ocean. Trump is only guilty of trying to raise it, which is an impossibility to begin with. The problem lies with the Insurance Companies in the commissions that are able to no good rotten people. They dont really care. They are in it for the money. It does not matter who is in there. If obamacare was so great, outcome all the people in Congress Exempt themselves from it . Why should the many have to suffer for the few . It is an absolute disgrace just like the obama legacy. It is horrible. Trump is only guilty of trying to do things right for the country. People dont understand. It is not about just a few. Democrats will knock him no matter what he does. Was going around giving up 100 bills, they would say he is cheap. He is not giving away 500 bills. It is not going to work. They are going to find him tooth and nail on everything. Donald trump has a big fight ahead of him. The patriots will rise up in the right thing will happen eventually. Host a couple of tweets. This is from ken. We are not getting offended. We are trying to point out the fact that we have been here for a long time and democrats beat up on us a long time from the Obama Administration. What we are trying to do is tell you what people are writing about and saying about, what is that editorial pages from all perspectives, and we include your phone calls as part of the conversation. We will go to sheila in georgia on the democrats line. Caller hello. Thank you for can you hear me . Host we sure can. Caller good morning, sir. Thank you for cspan. Iwatch it all the time. Host we appreciate that. Am under obamacare. Colonoscopies,my i go to the doctor. I have been in the hospital several times this year. I pay no copays. Under obamacare. I appreciate obamacare very much. Ump, his position iroi am on social security. I have medicare and medicaid because i am low income. Trump. Like donald host thanks for the call. We will go on the independent line, juliet from massachusetts. Good morning. Welcome to the conversation. Caller good morning, steve. Thank you for cspan. I enjoy it immensely. This may sound counterintuitive, however, i think in Steve Bannons war room, they are bringing a big fight are breathing a sigh of relief because if this had passed, this would have bogged trumps agenda down incredibly. There would have been an incredible follow, and the ramifications would have been extensive. Now that is behind them for the time being, they can go further with their budget, infrastructure, tax reform without this albatross of obamacare hanging around their neck or what would have been trumpcare. Namel know that if trumps is on something, it has to be cellar and they are breathing a bit sigh of relief it is behind them and they can go forward. Get a new shiny object to distract the voters into a new direction. That is my comment. Thank you for taking my call. Host this is a tweet from bill. Go to vivian joining us this morning on our line for democrats from tennessee. Good morning. Caller good morning. With this Health Care Plan behind us, i am glad it happened, but i would like for him to focus on jobs here for americans and stop all of that lying. President e lyingest we have ever had. It is time for him to admit when he has done and stand up and do what he said he will do for the Republican People who mostly put him in there. This agenda was hurting them. It is time to stand up and help americans get jobs. They need jobs. Host thanks for the call. If you are listening on cspan radio, we are focusing on the defeat of the Health Care Bill friday and house of representatives. Lawmakers trying to move on to other agendas. Our phone lines are open. 2027488000 for democrats. 2027488001 for i republicans. Of the Los Angeles Times has written this piece available at l. A. Times. Com. Turns out donald trump is not an artist of the deal. We will read some excerpts during the course of the morning. Voters are not likely to blame democrats for the fact that republicans cannot get their act gather, nor should they act together, nor should they. That this morning from the l. A. Times. On the independent line, will is joining us from tulsa, oklahoma. Go ahead, please. Caller good morning. Thank you for being on the air. Host turn the volume down, by the way. We are getting a bit of an echo. Caller i apologize for the. That. I have you on speakerphone. My comment is, i have several, but i will make it brief. Jersey calledew and said what the democrats did with obamacare, they were rewriting it in nancy pelosi said we will read it later and try to ram it through. So it trump. It was secretary price, secretary of health and human services, he came on the air the other day, two days ago, and he said no other president , almost put his fist into his hands, no other president has done so much for this country, and no other president has done so much for health care than donald trump. It has been 40 days. First executive order canceled. Second executive order canceled. Pulled the very bill that was going to repeal and replace. Why . He finally realizes everything who would have known health care to be so difficult . Obama knew. Price said he is the greatest guy since sliced bread, but it cannot get things past because of his arrogance. If he can please be president for all of us, the nation would be better for it. Host ok. Thank you for the call. Another tweet from this viewer. Sent us a tweet. This from the new york times. Impactasking you what all of this has on the republican agenda. We will go to susan on the republican line from dayton, ohio. Good morning. Caller good morning. I would like to send out a talk tothat we need to younger folks so that they can consider their health care and insurance. Starting at a very young age when they get their first job, when they consider their first job, when they move, when they decide to make a major lik life decision. I am 67 years old, and there has never been a time in my adult life that i did not have to look at the ramifications of whether or not i had health care. It is not free. It was not an easy thing to do. You may have to pass up other opportunities to keep Health Insurance throughout your life. It to youis not owe. Host thank you very much for the call. George has this tweet. Conservative radio talk show host hugh hewitt has a piece this morning inside the new york times. The gop has not a great but a good week. The pulling of the bill on friday was a big loss and significant as it may signal the area 51 sub caucus within the. Reedom caucus and priz it was neil gorsuch that mike pence talked about yesterday in West Virginia. [video clip] remarkably this week, senator Chuck Schumer and the obstructionists in his party in the senate announced the democrats plan to filibuster neil gorsuch. That has never been done successfully in american history. Let me say this to you, West Virginia. If we can get the help of senator joe, and with the help of senator shelley, judge neil gorsuch will soon become just as Justice Neil Gorsuch i and america will be better for it. [applause] let it be clear that President Trump and i am confident. The u. S. Senate will confirm judge neil gorsuch one way or the other. [applause] host the Vice President yesterday in West Virginia talking about health care and the nomination of judge gorsuch. The Senate Judiciary committee expected to take up the nomination to vote him out of committee. That will take place on monday, april 3. There is expectation that there could be a floor vote in the senate before the full recess over passover and easter if the schedule holds true. Dianne from toledo, ohio, good morning. Caller morning. If i am not mistaken, the aca mandated the congresspeople enroll in the aca plan. I believe it was president obama who put in the executive order exempting congress from having to participate. Thatat is still in place, would keep congresspeople from being motivated to actually do anything about the plan like get rid of the individual mandate. I think President Trump should move on and get rid of that executive order so that maybe some other Common People and some democrats might be interested in seeing it change or be revealed. That is my thought. Host thanks for the call from ohio. Washington post in part of what they call the power post. Who is to blame for the Health Care Overhaul . The fingerpointing begins on both ends of pennsylvania avenue. Mark meadows of the freedom caucus, speaker of the house paul ryan, and the President Trump. Donald this tweet. On the republican line, diane from kansas, good morning. Caller good morning. My comment about health care and all of the other policy changes that may be coming out for tax reform, etc. , it gets down to one thing. Who will pay for it . Yesterday i read an article that 50 , approximately, across the country of all new births are paid for by medicaid. Those are helping young people. Half of them are on medicaid. Our country cannot go forward like this. The middle class under obamacare got hit hard. Low income benefited because of the expansions in medicaid. When you look forward to pass reform and even infrastructure, it is not the government that pays. It is the people that pay. Everybody has to recognize that they have to have some skin
