Kevin cirilli joins me from the conference. Last year donald trump pulled out of the last minute and it angered some and very much pleased others. What does that say about the relevance of cpac that he is returning as president . Is set tosident trump address this boisterous crowd at the Gaylord Convention center in maryland and a couple of minutes. They have closed off the ballroom, which is at capacity here, in anticipation of the speech. He is going to be addressing a crowd of conservatives here that are waiting to hear from them on a host of policy initiatives could yesterday, chief strategist Steve Bennett and chief of staff Reince Preibus addressed a joint panel. This comes days after president s cup will had to capitol hill and make a policy pitch to lawmakers in a joint address to congress. Vonnie what about tensions in the room . Is it still a party that is completely adrift or is there some kind of effort to unite this year . Kevin well, there are key differences on a range of policy issues, ranging in particular spending. Mic stimulus there are several conservative, including the president s own budget director, mike mulvaney, who advocated for the tea Party Faction of the Republican Party. The president has a task set out for him in that he needs to unify this Republican Party on Economic Issues if he wants to get across things like infrastructure and to some extent tax reform. This Republican Party is divided on the border adjustment tax as well. , kevin, there a sense that activists can embrace the trump vision or not . Well, mark, i think what has happened when you think back to the Campaign Cycle is this was a president who wrote the coattails of the immigration for furor at theration base of the conservative movement and he wrote that all the way to the white house. He is facing key questions from his own party on other issues come in particular russia. The backdrop to this president s speech comes at a time when there are reports that Reince Preibus, the chief of staff, personally asked fbi officials to squash down records that there was communication between Campaign Administration officials with russian intelligenceng against this rep. They argue that the fbi director james comey was the one who reached out to them. Later this afternoon, White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer is set to take questions from reporters i bet he will field several questions about that. It will be interesting to see whether or not President Trump takes that issue on directly in his remark in a few minutes. Mark kevin, tell us about the executive order that President Trump will be signing later. Kevin later this afternoon President Trump will reportedly sign executive orders ranging on Environmental Protection and regulatory issues. This comes at a time in which he has signed a host of other executive orders, and everyone is still awaiting next week, in on thecutive action set middle Eastern Countries that will work in juxtaposition with the executive orders the ninth district struck down is set to debut. We expect that next week around the same time line as he makes the joint address to congress. Vonnie Kellyanne Conway did not exactly please many of those in the crowd yesterday by saying he was going to be tpac today. What kind of response do you anticipate the president will get . Kevin i can remember covering cpac for several years and it came in a time of a president ial election and there was jockeying for control of the Republican Party. That was the dominant storyline we were following. Now we are at a different moment for this conservative party, and President Trump has to make the case that he is able to ease the concerns of the lawmakers and republicans you are a bit taken aback by the reports about russia. But he also needs to bring on board that tea party base as he looks to accomplish key parts of his legislative policy agenda, from tax reform to Infrastructure Spending and repealing replacing key parts of the Affordable Care act, otherwise known as obamacare. Vonnie kevin cirilli, thank you. Interesting to see who turns up, given that it is recess week in washington as well. Kevin cirilli, chief washington correspondent for Bloomberg News in maryland there. Lets check on first word is taylor riggs has more cap chemical weapon was used to murder the halfbrother of north korean president kim jongun.

Officials from the National Front say this is first time their party has been approached. Global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. Riggs. Ylor this is bloomberg. Mark taylor, thank you. Coming up, obamacares popularity rises just as republican lawmakers work for repeal and replace the insurance law. We are awaiting President Trump. He will speak at cpac in a few moments. Dont miss it. This is bloomberg. Mark live from london and new york, i am mark barton. Vonnie i am vonnie quinn. This is bloomberg markets. New details to the republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. At the same time, the Health Insurance law is enjoying its highest popularity levels since shortly after it was passed in 2010. We want to bring in a Health Care Reporter for Bloomberg News. Of course, we are keeping our eye on cpac in maryland. The president is set to take the podium and a little bit. We would like to Talk Health Care before he does. There are plans out there, or bits of plans. Anything presentable to congress right now . Republicans in congress are working to come up with a plan and are running ideas by folks and trying to see what they can come up with. We are the beginning stages of details on what will be a long process. Vonnie what details are receiving . Levels, income what are the specifics that are actually being worked on . Zachary the republican plan will give tax credits similar to obamacare subsidies to buy Health Insurance. One of the key differences, they will give everybody a tax credit that it just one age rather than income. Under obamacare, poor people get more help get that wont be the case anymore. One of the big consequences is probably more people are going to be uninsured. We dont know how many or how big the tax credits will be but one thing we do know is that fewer people will have Health Insurance. Mark how do you explain that if you are a lawmaker . Trump promised during the campaign that more people would be covered. That contradicts what he was saying. How do you dot th i am cross the t if you are a republican lawmaker . Zachary that is one of the big issues republicans will confront. Thet now they say one of big reasons people will be introduced the individual mandate. The obamacare requirement that people buy Health Insurance, that will go away. They say that people will have freedom to buy Health Insurance or not and some choose not to buy it. But this is again for people who dont want to buy this product that is how they are talking about it now. We will see how that holds up and coming weeks as we find out how many people the estimates are that would lose Health Insurance. Mark how popular is obamacare . Polls have been done, zach. Visit popular or not . 50 . Another has 48 of people liking it. These are the highest numbers it has had since the law was passed and certainly since it went into effect. It shows the states for republicans if they are going to repeal the law. They have a growing number of people who say obamacare is not perfect but it has given me and my friends and family Health Insurance, they are worried about losing that. Vonnie we are seeing is that town halls across the country, particularly this week because it is recess week for congress. What potential is there for this effort by republicans to overturn what had been a republican plan originally to gain any traction . What are the Pharmaceutical Company saying, what are insurers saying . Zachary when you look at the town halls, you see a lot of people coming out who are worried about losing Health Insurance, and that is one more obstacle. The key is that republicans have campaigned for years and years and years on repealing obamacare. Justdea that they would throw their hands up and walk away, i dont think we are anywhere near there yet. There will be a real effort to put legislation out, to pass the legislation. It will go through the house and senate. And then we will see what folks come up with. We are early stages here. Vonnie how much influence does the new hhs secretary, tom price, have over the process . Zachary tom price met with Congress Last week to Start Talking about obamacare. What he said at the time is that they want to leave it to congress to come up with a replacement plan. We will see how that plays out as things go forward. The president and tom price from the administration, are probably going to have to get involved to say, look, these are our priorities in health care reform. Mark what is it vonnie sorry, mark. Mark is it likely that what ultimately replaces obamacare wont be different from the original Affordable Care act . Think in the individual market were people buy Health Insurance with subsidies, you will see something that looks pretty similar. There may be more flexibility around designs and subsidies will be different. But at the end of the day, it may look to different it may not look too different. The Big Questions that are out there still are on Medicaid Expansion in the aca. Less clear what is going to happen with that. Mark do we have any idea when the gop will introduce this formal bill in the house or senate . Is there any idea of the timeframe . Zachary they said they want to introduce a bill in march. We have seen the timeline slipped several times. You have to remember that donald trump and Congressional Republicans essentially campaigned on the idea that they would repeal obamacare is one of the first acts in office. It is now into february. They are saying they want is a bill in march. Vonnie what about budgetwise . How will it be paid for . Zachary that is an open question. One of the big issues in repeal is republicans want to review most or all of the taxes. Some say all comes some say most. This question about what is a tax. But essentially they want to make paying for this extreme is difficult. Vonnie there will be court cases, i imagine. At what point will be secret cases brought by individuals who lose coverage or by groups or maybe this will we see court cases are individuals who lose coverage or by groups or maybe the aarp . Zachary its a good question. We will have to see what it does, who is hurt by this. You are right, the aarp is an Important Group to watch. Folks with lower incomes, older people all these constituencies will weigh in. For theit took so long Affordable Care act to come into widespread use. It seems to be working pretty actually,for think we might be going to maryland. We will have to talk about that question a little bit later on. Zachary tracer, Health Care Reporter for Bloomberg News. Donald trump, president of the United States from taking the podium at cpac. Lets listen in. Playing]ss the usa President Trump thank you, everybody. So great to be with you. Thank you. Great to be back at cpac. Really ihave love this place. Love you people. Thank you. Thank you very much. First of all, i want to thank schlapp and his very, very incredible life, and boss, mercedes. Who have been fantastic friends and supporters, and so great when i watch them on television defending me. Nobody has a chance. I want to thank mat adversities. Matt and mercedes. ,nd when matt called and asked absolutely i will be there with you. I didnt want him to go against me, because not one you cant beat that when you cant beat. It really is an honor to be here. I wouldnt miss a chance to talk to my friends. These are my friends. [applause] President Trump and we will see you again next year and the year after that. I will be doing this with cpac whenever i can and i will make sure that we are here a lot. If you remember my first major speech sit down, everybody. Come on. [laughter] President Trump you know the Dishonest Media, they will say he didnt get a standing ovation. You know why . Because everybody stood and nobody sat. They will say he never got a standing ovation. [applause] President Trump they are the worst. President trump so sit down. [laughter] President Trump donald trump did not get a standing ovation. They leave out the part they never sat down. They leave that out. You know my first major speech , probably five or six user token first Major Political speech. And you were there. I love to the people, i love the commotion. And then they did these polls where i went through the roof and i wasnt even running. But it gave me an idea. And i got a little bit concerned when i saw what was happening in the country. And i said lets go to it. It was very exciting. I walked the stage on cpac. I will never forget it, really. I had very little notes and even less preparation. So when you have practically no notes and no preparation and then you leave and everybody was thrilled, i said, i think i like this business. I would have come last year but i was worried that i would be at that time to controversy over he wanted too controversial. We wanted Border Security, we wanted very, very strong military, we wanted all the things we are going to get, and people considered that controversial, but you didnt considered controversial. [applause] President Trump so i have been with cpac for a long time. All of these years we have been together and now you finally have a president. Finally. Took you a long time. Took you a long time. [applause] President Trump and it is patriots like you th you want te America Great again. [applause] President Trump the media didnt think we would win. Right. Dits youre they had an idea. The pundits didnt think we would win. The consultants that suck up all that money oh, they suck it up, they are so good [laughter] President Trump they are not good at politics but they are really good at sucking up peoples money. Especially my opponents, because i kept them down to a minimum. But the consultants didnt think we would win. But they all underestimated the power of the people, you. And the people proved them totally wrong. And this is so true, and this is what has been happening never underestimate the people. Never. I dont think it will ever happen again. And i want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news. Its fake, phony, fake. [applause] a few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people, and they are. They are the enemy of the people. Sources,hey have no they just make them up when there are none. I saw one story recently where they said nine people have confirmed. There are no nine people. I dont believe there was one of two people. Nine people. And i said, give me a break, because i know the people. I know who they talk to. There were no nine people. And somebody reads it and they think, oh, nine people, they have nine sources. They make up sources. They are very dishonest people. In fact, in covering my comments, the Dishonest Media did not explain that i called the fake news the enemy of the people. The fake news. They dropped off the word fake. And all of a sudden the story became the media is the enemy. They take the word fake out. An outline saying, oh no, this is no good and now i am saying, oh no, this is no good. This is how they are. Im not against the media, i am not against the press. I dont mind bad stores if i deserve them. And i love good stories but we wont go [laughter] President Trump i dont get too many of them. But im only against the Fake News Media or press. Fake, fake. You have to leave that word. Im against the people that make up stories and makeup sources. They shouldnt be allowed to use sources unless they use somebodys name. Let the name be put out there. Let the name be put out. A source says that donald trump is a horrible, horrible human being. Let them say it to my face. [applause] be noent trump let there more sources and remember this, and not in all cases i had a story written yesterday about me in reuters by a very honorable man, a very fair story. There are great reporters around, there are talented and honest as the day is long. They are great. But there are terrible, dishonest people, and they do a tremendous disservice to our country into our people and to our people. A tremendous disservice. And they shouldnt use sources they should put the name of the person you will see stories dry up like you have never seen before. Bad it iso idea how because if you are not part of the story, and i put myself in your position sometimes, because many of you, you are not part of the story, and if you are not part of the story, then you sort of know if you are part of the story what they are saying is true or not. , and aey make it up makeup is something else, and you saw that before the out wits a couple pulls got it right. Los angeles times, they did a great job. Shocking, but they did a great job. We had a couple of others that were right. But generally speaking, i can tell you the Network Somebody said a poll came out, and i said what network is it . And they will say lets not even mention names, right . Well, you have a lot of them. The Clinton News Network is one. [laughter] President Trump totally. Take a look, honestly. Take a look at their polls the last three years. You think they would fire the pollster, right . After years and years of getting battered i mean, who knows . Maybe they are just bad at polling. Or maybe they are not legit. But it is one or the other. Look at how inaccurate look at cbs, look at abc also. Look at nbc. Take a look at some of these polls. They are so bad, so inaccurate. And what that does is it creates a false narrative. It creates this narrative that is just like we are not going to win, and people say oh, i love trump, but im not feeling great today, he cant win, so i will not going to vote. It creates a whole false deal. And we have to fight it, folks. They are very smart, very cunning, and very dishonest. Just to conclude, it is a very sensitive topic, and they get upset when we expose their false stories. They say that we cant criticize their dishonest coverage because of the First Amendment. You know, they always bring up the First Amendment. And i love the First Amendment. Nobody loves it better than me. Nobody. [applause] President Trump i mean, who uses it more than i do . But the First Amendment gives all of us it gives it to me, it gives it to you, and gives it to all americans, the right to speak our minds freely. It gives you the right and me the right to criticize fake news and criticize it strongly. [applause] President Trump and many of these groups are part of the large media corporations that have their own agenda, and it is not your agenda. And it is not the countrys agenda. It is their own agenda. They have a professional obligation as numbers of the press to report honestly. But as you saw throughout the entire campaign, and even now, the fake news doesnt tell the truth. Doesnt tell the truth. Say it in finishing, i doesnt represent the people, they never will represent the people, and we are going to do something about it, because we have to go out and we have to speak our minds and we have to be honest. Our victory was a win like nobody has ever seen before. [applause] President Trump and i am here fighting for you and i will continue to fight for you. Winvictory and the was something that really was dedicated to the country and freedom,at believe in security, and the rule of law. Our victory [applause] victoryt trump was a and a win for conservative values. [applause] President Trump and our victory was a win for everyone who believes it is time to stand up for america, to stand up for the american worker, and to stand up for the american flag. [applause] yeah, there we should stand up. Come on. There we should stand up. And by the way, wthere are linex blocks to and i tell you that because you wont read about it. But there are lines that go back six blocks. There is such love in this country for everything we stand for. You saw that on election day. And you are going to see it more and more. So we are all part of this very historic movement, a movement ,he likes of which, actually the world has never seen before. There has never been anything like this. There has been some movements, but never anything like this. There has been movements that petered out, like bernie. Petered out. [laughter] President Trump but he was a little rig against him. It was a little rig against him. Superdelegate, super delegate she had so many delegates before the thing even started. Not that im a fan of bernie, but a lot of birdie people voted bernie people voted for trump because he is right on one issue, trade. Our country has been burned on trade issues and we got a lot of support. So actually, i like bernie. [applause] President Trump but im here today to tell you what this Movement Means for the future of the Republican Party, and the future of america. First, we need to define what this great, great, Unprecedented Movement is and what it actually represents. The core conviction of our movement is that we are a nation that put and will put its own citizens first. [applause] for to long we have traded away our jobs to other countries. So terrible. We have defended other nations borders while leaving hours wideopen, anybody can come in. Build the wall President Trump oh, we are going to build the wall. Dont worry about it. We are building the wall. We are building the wall. In fact, it is going to start soon, way ahead of schedule. [applause] President Trump way, way, way ahead of schedule. Going to start very soon. General kelly, by the way, has done a fantastic job. Fantastic job he has done. [applause] President Trump and remember, we are getting the bad ones out. These are bad dudes. We are getting the bad ones out. Ok come we are getting if you watch these people, it is like, oh, gee, that is so sad. We are getting bad people out of this country, whether it is drugs or murder or other things. We are getting bad ones out. Those are the ones who go first, and i said it from day one. Basically, all i have done is keep my promise. [applause] President Trump we have spent trillions of dollars overseas while allowing our own infrastructure to fall into total disrepair and decay. In the middle east, we have ago, 6s of four weeks trillion. [boos] President Trump think of it. And by the way, the middle east i mean, it is not even close it is in much worse shape than it was 15 years ago. If our president s would have gone to the beach for 15 years, we would be in much better shape than we are right now, that i can tell you. [applause] be a hell of a lot better. We could have rebuilt our country three times with that money. This is the situation that i inherited. I inherited a mess, believe me. We also [applause] President Trump now, i have been watching, and nobody says it, but obamacare doesnt work. I could say, i could talk it doesnt work. And now people are starting to develop the people you are watching, they are not you. They are largely many of them are the side that lost. You know, they lost the election. Like, how many elections do we have to have . They lost the election. But i always say obamacare doesnt work, and these same people to use go were complaining about obamacare. Two years ago and year ago were complaining about obamacare could the bottom line we are changing it. We are going to make it much better. We are going to make it less expensive. Obamacare covers very few people. And remember, deduct from the number all of the people that had Great Health Care that they loved that was taken away from them. It was taken away from them. [applause] millions ofump people were very happy with their health care. They had their doctor, they had their plan. Remember the line . 28 times, you can keep your plan. You can keep your over and over and over again you heard it. So we are going to repeal and replace obamacare. Applause]d President Trump and i tell paul ryan and all the folks we are working with very hard, dr. Tom price, very talented guy [applause] President Trump but i told him from a purely political standpoint, the single best thing we can do is nothing. Let it implode completely. It is already imploding. You see the carriers are all leaving. I mean, it is a disaster. But 2 years dont do anything. The democrats will come to us and beg for help. They will beg. And it is their problem. But it is not the right thing to do for the American People. Not the right thing to do. [applause] we inherited a National Debt that has doubled in eight years. Think of it,. 20 trying dollars trillion. And we inherited a Foreign Policy with one disaster after another. We dont win anymore. Do we win a war . Do we win anything . Do we win anything . Were going to win, we are going to win big folks. Were going to start winning again. Believe me. [chanting usa] President Trump but we are taking a firm, bold, decisive measure, we have to, to turn things around. The era of empty talk is over. Its over. [cheers and applause] President Trump now is the time for action. So let me tell you about the actions that we are taking right promise tover on our the American People and on my promise to make America Great again. We have taken certain and strong action to secure the southern border of the United States and to begin the construction of a great, great border wall.

They never endorsed a president ial candidate before. They might not even be allowed to drug from pouring into our nation and poisoning our youth. [applause] President Trump pouring in. Pouring in. We get the drugs, they get the money. We get the problems, they get the cash. No good, no good. By stopping the flow of illegal immigration, we will save thomas save countless dollars that is so important because the dollars we are losing our beyond anything you can imagine, and the tax dollars that could be used to rebuild struggling american communities, including our inner cities. [applause] we are alsoump going to save countless american lives. As we speak today, immigration officers are finding the gang members, the drug dealers, and the criminal aliens, and throwing them the hell out of our country. [cheers and applause] President Trump and we will not let them back in. They are not coming back in, folks. If they do, they are going to have bigger problems than they ever dreamt of. I am also working with the department of justice to begin reducing violent crime. Mean, can you believe what is happening in chicago, as an example . 2 days ago, seven people were shot.

[cheers and applause] we cannt trump so that protect our economic freedom. And we are to make trade deals, but we are going to do oneonone, oneonone, and if we miss behave if they misbehave, we terminate the deal and we come back and make a better deal. None of these big quagmire distills that are quagmire deals that are a disaster. Ofe a look and affect one the worst deals made by any country having to do with nafta, one of the worst deals made by any country having to do with economic development. Development, as far as im concerned it we are going to repeal and replace the disaster known as obamacare. We will save americans from this crisis and give them access to the Quality Health care they need and deserve. We have authorized the construction, one day, of the keystone and Dakota Access pipelines.

Isnt that wonderful . Comes from the United States or were not building it. [cheers and applause] President Trump american steel. Pipeline in the United States, they are going to use pipe that is made in the United States. Do we agree . [cheers and applause] President Trump can you imagine i told this story the other day. Can you imagine the gentleman never met him, dont even know the name of his company i actually sort of know it but i want to get it exactly correct. Big, big powerful company could a hundreds of millions of dollars on the pipeline they st hundreds of millions of dollars with bloodsucker consultants sucking the blood out of the company. I use them all my life, ok . Dont worry, we will get it approved, im a lobbyist, dont worry. Bottom line, obama didnt sign it. Could be 42,000 jobs, somewhere around that, a lot of jobs. Could you imagine . It was dead. Now he is doing nothing. Calling his wife hello, darling, im a little bored, that pipeline has killed our company. Knock knock. Mr. Soandso. The keystone pipeline, sir, out of nowhere, has just been approved. No, can you imagine the expression . And you know the sad part . The same bloodsucking consultants that hit him for all the money and failed, they will go back to him and say, didnt we do a great job . We want more money. That is the way the system works. That is the way the system works. We are preparing bold action to lift the restrictions on american energy, including shale oil, natural gas, and beautiful, clean coal, and we are going to put our miners back to work. Miners are going back to work. [cheers and applause] President Trump miners are going back to work, folks. Sorry to tell you that, but they are going back to work. We have begun an Historic Program to reduce the regulations that are crushing our economy. Crushing. And not only our economy, crushing our jobs, because companies cant hire.

I want to protect our environment my one regulations for safety i want to regulations for safety, i want all the regulations we need, and i want them to be so strong and so tough. But we dont need to 75 of the repetitive, horrible regulations that hurt companies, hurt jobs, make us noncompetitive overseas with other companies from other countries. That we dont need.
