The people blame the Freedom Caucus, the Heritage Foundation, the i didnt. Blame the speaker of the house. You know, when you play the blame game here, talk about paul ryan. I think the house moved a bit too fast. Simply not enough time. Isnt people pin the blame on the moderates. He wants to blame the democrats. Hes blaming you for saving planned parenthood, saving obamacare. He wants to blame the tea party. You cant blame democrats when you hold both houses. Not supposed to be crossing all the ts and dotting all the is. Thats an excuse. I think theres plenty of blame to go around. What happened is washington won. One thing we learned this week is that washington was a lot more broken than President Trump thought it was. Liz welcome to risk and reward, im Elizabeth Macdonald in for deirdre bolton. Finger pointing everywhere in washington d. C. Right now after the conservative Freedom Caucus blocked the president s obamacare replacement. Now white house chief of staff Reince Priebus signaling it may be time to open the door to work with democrats. This president is not going to be a partisan president. This is a president that wants to provide and youre right. He wants to make sure that people dont get left behind wants to make sure theres competition in the marketplace. So if those three things are incompatible with some members of the republican house, its incompatible, and we need to work with moderate democrats to make sure that happens. Liz and Democrat Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer saying hes open to it. Stop undermining aca, and well work with them. We have ideas, they have ideas to try to improve obamacare. We never said it was perfect. We always said we would work with them. We just said we peel was off the table. Liz and socialist Bernie Sanders says he knows where he wants to take obamacare. Hes now fast at work in introducing a single pair system through medicare, even a single pair practical bankrupted his own state of vermont. Ideally where we should be going is to join the rest of the industrialed world and guarantee health care to all people as a right. And thats why im going to introduce a medicare for all sile pair prram. Shortterm, this is what we uld do. Liz lets take this to mike huckabee, former president ial candidate and govern. Whether the president can get rid of obamacare. What do you think of the white house first reaching out to democrats in place of the conservative Freedom Caucus . Well, i think they should be reaching out to democrats because theres some things that we ought to agree on. I dont think thats to the exclusion of the conservatives in the house. In fact, i think many of them oppose the bill out there because it was their conscious that said this bill isnt what we promised. This bill isnt going to do what we said its going to do. And this bill is going to leave a lot of people with higher premiums and with lack of coverage. So i think its unfair to say they blocked it. I have to say i have respect for people who felt this was a pig in a poke. Whether it was or not, that will be sorted out. But theres something republicans can do. They can go ahead and take out clearly across the board, at least to republicans easy layouts. Lets get rid of planned parenthood. Lets get rid of the cadillac tax. Thats ridiculous. Lets get rid of the tax on medical devices. Democrats even have said thats a bad idea. So those are small things, but they are things that can be done. In the meantime work toward a bigger, more comprehensive plan but make sure it doesnt create this nightmare of a National Template where of you all 50 states trying to eat at the same trough, even though they may not all have the same desires. Liz you know, planned parenthood fight can get really nasty because planned parenthood saying we really dont do abortion services. We basically do a lot of work for female health, but lets set that aside right now. What youre saying the Freedom Caucus, the deductibles are going up under the ryan care plan because basically it was about mandated government benefits, and it was basically saying you have to pay have to pay the same insurance cost as healthy people; right . That was a big part of it. And if you start mandating the specifics of the coverage, look, i understand why theyre doing that actually. If you dont spread the risk, and youre still doing things like covering people on their parents policy until theyre 26, which i know thats very popular, but i find that ridiculous. You know, just to be blunt. If youre 26 years old, and youre still having to be under your parents policy, theres something bigger than medical care going on there that needs to be fixed. I think also, its unrealistic. Although, again, its very popular to say no lifetime limits and no denial for preexisting conditions. But if you do those things, its going to make the policy unaffordable because no one can cover them. Liz yeah, and this fall we got premiums under obamacare scheduled to go higher this fall and now we have Freedom Caucus member jim jordan a favor by not passing the bill. Take a listen. Do you remember this bill . 17 of the country opposed this bill because this bill didnt repeal obamacare. This bill didnt do what it told the American People we were going to do. Liz weve got Bernie Sanders and the democrats, even Jonathan Gruber said this that obamacare was a halfway house, a step toward single pair. Bernie sanders is now pushing that. Did the republicans miss the boat here . Well, i think jim jordan was right when he said, look, this was not exactly being received to the standing ovation of the American People at 17 like it. Look, heres a better idea, and its not Bernie Sanders. Why dont we give americans the same Health Care Coverage that congress has . Why dont we let them what members of Congress Already have. Which, by the way, includes competition over states. It includes they only pick out what they want in a cafeteria of plans including Health Savings accounts, Major Medical catastrophic. So why dont we do that . And if somebody in congress says, well, that might be too expensive. Well, instead of paying more, why dont we just cut the benefits that Congress Gets until we have the same policy that everybody can access and members of congress can take the cut rather than a lot of working families. Liz let me call you on that and raisehent do you thinkresint tmp could sign the order youve got to be on obamacare now. Maybe get reform that way. Well, they should have already been there. And it was, to me, an insult to the american taxpayer that congress conveniently exempted themselves from many of the same things that they were going to impose on the rest of the nation. But i dont think that ought to apply just to obamacare. Liz, that ought to apply to every law they ever pass. Everything that they put on us, they ought to live with as well. Liz good point. Next topic. The surprise of hearings that todays White House Press briefing, we have attorney general Jeff Sessions demanding that sanctuary policies cannot continue. And hes basically threatening to yank billions of dollars in federal funds. Failure to deport aliens who are convicted of criminal offenses put whole communities at risk. Such policies make cities and states less safe. Public safety as well as National Security are at stake. And put them at risk of losing federal dollars. Liz the attorney general showing just how bad its getting. He said, governor, in just one week, 200 instances not assisting the government. Were talking illegals, he says convicted of murder, rape, assault on children. Victimsfamilies have been damaged, including immigrant communities. What do you think . What do you think would be the reaction on the left if donald trump just held a News Conference tomorrow and said im from this point forward only going to enforce the laws that i personally like and agree with. What do you think the reaction would be on the left . Do you think they would say, well, sure thats fine. Were okay with that. Were cool. I dont think so. Liz good point. The sanctuary cities are basically saying theres a law we dont like, w not going to go through the trouble of getting it changed legislatively through the elected representative like the constitution says. Were just going to ignore it. Im so proud of Jeff Sessions. So proud of President Trump for saying you dont get to just go through and pick out the laws like theyre items on the cafeteria line. And heres where you do know. For gun free zones, you have a murder magnet. And where you have saunk aware cities, you have a clear magnet for people to go and hide from the federal government, even though they should be deported because they are not just Illegal Immigrants, theyre criminals. And when i say criminals, these are people who in addition to coming here illegally have committed felonies against american citizens, whether its murder or rape or robbery or dwi that killed people. Why on earth would we defend that . Liz thank you, governor, always good to see you. Come back soon. Thank you, liz. Liz sure. And coming up how Senior Correspondent ryan is going after fox news for covering the rape of a 14yearold girl on School Grounds allegedly by Illegal Immigrants in rockwell, maryland. Next up we have the Freedom Caucus, congressman now distancing himself from the group. Now saying hes quitting after they failed to repeal and replace obamacare. The Freedom Caucus was not united in opposing the will. About a third of us wanted to go ahead and vote for the bill because as you said, we spent an hour and a half with the president of the united states, the Vice President , members of the cabinet in talking about trying to make this bill better changes were made and at the end of the day, it still was a no, and i think that was improper to continue to vote no. Sometimes you have to say yes. Members of the house of representatives republicans voted 60 times to repeal the bill. Now when it actually counts to repeal the bill and replace it some, they backed off. They got cold feet. Liz President Trump also blasting the Freedom Caucus saying quote democrats are smiling in dc that the Freedom Caucus with the help of club for growth and Heritage Foundation that saved planned parenthood and obamacare. To a voter Whose Congress is in the Freedom Caucus for his reaction, hes ken thompson. Hes with me now. Leaving the caucus, is that a sign of whats to come . What do you think . I think its a sign that the Freedom Caucus should consider rejoining the gop. The Freedom Caucus seems to be sitting in the middle of the road somewhere and not quite sure what side of the aisle they should support. Liz should more Congress Follow them . What do you think . I think the Freedom Caucus created unnecessary problem for the president. We worked hard to get our house member reelected. We worked doubly hard to turn michigan in support for President Trump and very proud of both efforts. But right now justin has made it very difficult for his constituents here in the certain Congressional District to stand up and continue to support his misdirection. Liz sir, you know, next topic we have, the controversial mit economist and obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber was paid nearly 400,000 by the government to basically put in place obamacare. Hes the guy who called americans quote stupid. His view is that obamacare is a step toward governmentrun health care. Lets listen. There is simply no way we are going to get single pair at the National Level in the near future. If you like single pair, then obamacare has to succeed. Liz thats a sound byte from a few years ago. What do you think, sir . I think Jonathan Gruber from mit who when he supported mitt romneys romney care to support what we know is obamacare. Obamacare is wrong. The whole gist of obamacare is to go to single pair. Its governmentmandated health care, which it doesnt work. It has failed in england, failed in canada, and we dont need to have it fail here in america. Liz ken thompson, always good to see you, sir. Come back soon. Thank you. Liz sure.

Amazing support. We will all make America Great again. This as pro trump rallies turn violent in huntington beach, california this weekend. Jennifer sterling, one of the event organizers you see in this video, shes trying to break up a heated argument and all of a sudden shes hit with pepper spray. Jennifer joins me now. Are you okay . What happened . Im absolutely great now. We were gathered together as a silent majority to come together with gratitude to show our law that were providing can law and order. Our military, our veterans, we were there to celebrate. We were there to wave our flags and walk on the beach and have a march and sing God Bless America and the pledge of allegiance. We had over 5,000 people show up. Some came in their wheelchairs, world war ii veterans, and we collected donations and picked up trash on the beach, and we just showed our military and our Law Enforcement and our First Responders how much we really appreciated them. Liz so this is beautiful day. Liz this is meant to be a positive rally for First Responders and wounded war veterans. And then you say a group of people came in. We saw the video. Came in with masks and pepper spray in their pockets. Who were they . Sure. I dont really know who they were. There was about half a dozen of them. We understand everyone has the right to be on the public beach and march or walk and share their views under their First Amendment rights. But we were of course there to wave our flags and walk along the bike path with strollers and wheelchairs. And about, you know, quarter mile down the way, there were about a half dozen folks dressed in all black, you know, as far as ive known growing up black mask, all black clothing, thats not really beach attire. While we were busy wearing our name tags trying to meet likeminded friends, we came across these folks that engaged in physical violence and a little violence ensued, and they broke the law, and they were arrested and taken away. We were happy to report that, you know, we did everything we could to avoid them and avoid the confrontation and none of the folks that were there to show their gratitude for our veterans or our president or Vice President or our Law Enforcement or First Responders, veterans, none of them were arrested. So the good outweighed the ba b. Liz jennifer, this is not the first time Something Like this happened. A woman was pepper sprayed back in february. Shes a trump supporter. Is this becoming a pattern with pepper spray . I think whats coming a pattern is that these violent thugs, these punks think that they are just going to do whatever they want, and its, you know you would think that they learned on the playground when they were kids that you cant stand in front of the swings and not let other kids
