Our congress caller our congress has a 12 Approval Rating and they are getting nothing done on health care. They will not Work Together for the benefit of the American People. Interested in a Health Care Bill that is a tax cut for the rich. That is why they failed. If they really wanted health care and made it on a bipartisan basis, they could introduce rand pauls will bill. Basicallys bill is joining an association or they can get a catastrophic bill. They do not want to fix the problem. They want to destroy the Healthcare System and give tax cuts to the rich. That is why the bills are not passing. It is nothing more than a tax cut for the rich. This is the lobbying run in washington. Host the conservative Editorial Board of the Washington Pond washington times, repeal and replace leads everyone else at the mercy of obamacare headed for collapse. Caller peanut the nail on the head he hit the nail on the head. Nervous and we dont have any strong leadership to help us through that nervousness. Kudos to virginia voters for electing that man. Host line for republicans, good morning. The issue caller the issue is congress and republicans had seven years and they have of houses and the president has suggested he is prepared to sign anything associated with repealing and replacing health care. Republicans have gotten nothing done. Ready to go, what is happening here . It is unfortunate for those who need health care. There is no way out of the rabbit hole. Youle need to understand need good test you need tax reform for you needed help care to start subsidizing these money because all of the is going to Insurance Companies. We are dealing with monopolies president looking at a who has both houses and republicans but nothing is getting done. Can republicans do tax reform without having done Health Care First . Understand, not that you have to have a tax to justify any type of repeal and replace of the president s to. Is they are doing now Insurance Companies to accept obamacare. The poor continue to get poorer, and the rich continue to get rich under whatever minute administration we put in there. Yesterday, the senate Health Care Bill not moving forward, Mitch Mcconnell talked about where leadership goes from here. Mcconnell where we go from here is tax reform. Senator Corker Mcconnell whereo from here is tax reform. , we plan to move forward on the next rarity, reforming the american tax code for a significant way for the first time in 30 years. House republicans are meeting at least until mid afternoon to talk about their tax reform plan. President trump speaks in annapolis today. Look for our coverage of that. Tax reform will be a big discussion throughout the day. House ways and means democrats are holding their own tax form house ways and means democrats are holding their own tax form today and that will be a day of tax reform. In new mexico, line for s. Dependent go ahead. You with us . Go ahead. Caller hey. Over healthbate like it is about social darwinism and survival of the fittest. You just had Mitch Mcconnell on andr, senator mcconnell, all those republicans are lined up behind him, supporting his point of view. What is that all about . Host where should they go from here . Should they work in a bipartisan way, do you think health care for all is the right way . Shouldlicans republicans revisit bloc grants throughout the states . A new and modern society and we have to recognize that. 1789 anymore where the constitution where we slap each other in the face host line for republicans. Go ahead. Caller we seem to have a narrative going around the country, pushed by the news media. I am sure it makes the rightwing real happy and make the left wing really happy. Saying republicans are doing nothing, but the house of representatives has passed health reform. They have passed all the bills. In the senate, the only reason they cannot is they got the extreme right, and they are rightwing, people like warmongers, and i also wanted to moore getting elected in alabama. I think the influence of mark levine and people of that ilk, they are pushing out a republicans, good ones like luther strange, who, if you listen to them on cspan during i cannot see how anybody with a rational mind could have not voted for him. He fought so hard as an attorney general. A very good person and policy maker. To elect and a stream he is fringee socalled movement. All the foolishness coming out i really think we need of a discussion on religions. And they are very outrageous. With the liberals, or saidnsane left, when they steve bannon was a negative influence. I truly believe he was an negative influence as. Ell as Rush Limbaugh republicans, dont fully fox newsinto thinking will all be on trumps friend. It will show you whos on whose side and watch very carefully bob corker. Host you dont put them on the list of good republicans earlier . Caller absolutely not. Host bob corker announcing his second term. Congress running today. Steve bannon introduced roy moore at his victory then last night. Here is what steve bannon had to say. Steve bannon i told you last night a vote for judge roy moore is a vote for donald j. Trump. Thank the good folks in alabama for supporting donald trump and voting for judge more. Last night come we talked about starting a revolution with judge mores victory. The senator stepped down and will not run for reelection. You will see state after state after state. People do not need to raise money from the elites, the fatcats in washington dc, and silicon valley. Host the latest effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. The phones are yours to talk about it. Independent line. Caller can you hear me . It is about roy moore. It looks to me like we have been living with him for a little over 30 years now. It looks like the same old politicians. Nothing new and nothing unique. He is as inside as he can get it i do not know why they are calling him an outsider or framing it like that. Someone who is competent to can do the job. I do not agree with him on anything he preaches. But the democrat, i do not know him. His first name is doug. Doug jones. I think he might actually have a chance against roy moore. Host jones, a former federal prosecutor. Some background on raymore. Foot agomself to be a survivor p yes been effectively removed from the state supreme in 2003 overfirst his refusal to remove a statue of the 10 commandment in the courthouse and last year when he defied federal orders regarding samesex marriage. Ied pretty much against anything as far as trying to get legislation done. They believe that compromise is a dirty word. Areitional republicans fading away. Thereapitulated to jump tradeo business as far as , trump was an isolationist like internet. I cannot predict the future, but i believe the Republican Party as we know it is really over with. This is a new era, i dont know where it is going obvious. Whether you like it or not, he will stand behind it. It is the same old thing. Party preaching about how bad rich people are. As long as that kind of stuff goes on, they are not going to get the tax cuts they need and they do need the tax cut for business. The businesses provide the jobs for American People. Host does it mean anything to President Trump or to you richard in alabama, jeff on twitter, calling it a terrible tuesday for trump and his tweet this morning. , a longtimealong congressional reporter for the Washington Post with this headline. Tuesday started as a bad day for Mitch Mcconnell and it only got worse. The announced retirement of bob relationsnate foreign , and then backed by Senate Republican leadership by the tune of millions of dollars. Harry is in texas, line for independents. Would like to congratulate cspan on providing such realistic coverage. That republican senators from South Carolina sponsored. A lot of you callers this i would like to offer a bit of hope in this difficult time as a country. We see a reemergence of statesmen and states women. Sanders whomernie i consider to be such a prison who cannot run as an independent candidate or whatever. They do not have adequate political funding that exist. I think what needs to happen is the American Public has to be as organized. We need to start the unity party. It needs to be a grassroots party. Back. D honest people it needs to become the district of columbia again. Only the people have the ultimate say. We the people are the ones that need to become politically active and start our own party if we dont like what we see in either ill of congress and i encourage everyone to view the website. We need to get rid of incumbent politicians at every level of government in this country. Until the American Public becomes politically active and we see 95 enrollment to register to vote, it will not happen. Host this morning, we showed you some comments. Senator schumer they saw it would take health care away. People with parents in nursing homes. From one end of america to the other, the Cassidy Graham bill would have been a health care disaster. The American People saw it and rose to the occasion and our colic our colleagues had no choice in the state of opposition from one end of the land to the other to withdraw the bill. We hope the republicans dont come back to the bill. It will meet with the same fate it met with this time. Ultimately because people didnt like it. We do not want to leave them out there to defend to fend for themselves. We hope our republican colleagues realize it. Time for a few more calls but we will revisit the topics later in the program today. Make you story to aware of, the ongoing effort to help puerto rico in the lake of the Hurricane Maria and the devastation it caused in puerto talking President Trump about it yesterday fans to survey the damage in puerto rico and announced he would travel to puerto rico next tuesday. We will talk about that more in the days that come. Glenn, go ahead. Of would like two comments if you have the time or you can spirit for me. The thing like nfl players, like color andare based on. Ace and ethnic sense so far such things can only prevail in an atmosphere of ignorance. People realize donald trump is not talking about the flag and honor and so forth. Was, when john mccain did in the war. People take the time to read. People have that mental defect, they love chaos. They will present chaos to block them. Other people beginning to learn about other things. Things going on now, people are wondering why is he doing this and why is he doing that. If you would just read about a sociopath, he is a text book picture of what that is. , line for virginia republicans. Caller i would just like to say that what i notice is going on in our political system today in fingersis theyd point at and forth between political parties. Everybody looking at the party, country, and solutions. It is basically passing killed back and forth. Doing wonderful things in this nation, resources that are immense. They spent all this negative energy on things that would not progress as a nation. Renewable energy, they always talk about wind power and solar power but there are so many different options for energy. The energy in america is a disaster. They look for the short term, there are so Many Solutions and they can bring so much great change to the nation. Host we will leave it there and that will do it for this segment. Up next, we joined by virginia democrats and the House Committee and congressman Gerry Connolly here to discuss the military threats and response by the trump administration. We will be right back. Sunday night on afterwards, an investigative journalist reports on Mental Health in his Mental HealthMental Health incorporated. Over repealing obama care, the hard truth. Over repealing obama care, to people,provide services but it has to be good quality care, and most of it now is not. Right.

Have argued what we are facing him a country is what amounts to an epidemic of Behavioral Health malpractice even if it isnt knowledge to such in the legal system. The reality of malpractice attorneys is they dont take the unless someone dies. Cspan2s booktv. Saturday, booktv has coverage of the 2017 baltimore book festival. Starting at noon eastern.
