Host we are back, continuing our conversation about the house passing their republican bill to replace or revise the Affordable Care act. 217213. They needed 216 votes. By a margin of one, they were able to pass. 20 republicans voted no. Not a single democrat signed on. We just heard from julie rovner that the senate is saying it could take a month or longer for them to pass a bill. We are asking all of you to call in. Join the conversation on facebook or twitter. Tell us what you think. We will share reaction from around the country. Here is paul ryan, speaker of the house, in wisconsin yesterday. He is celebrating with his colleagues and the president and Vice President. [video clip] today was a big day. It is one step in this process. We still have a lot of work to do. I know our friends in the senate are eager to get to work. [laughter] they are. Were going to see that work through. The issues are just too important. The stakes are just too high. The problems facing American Families are real. The problems facing American Families as a result of obamacare are too dire and to urgent. Just this week we learned of another state, iowa, where the last remaining Health Care Plan is pulling out of 94 of their 99 counties, leaving most of their citizens with no plans on the obama market at all. What kind of protection is obamacare if there are no plans to choose from . This is a trend we are seeing across the country. The truth is this law has failed and is collapsing. Premiums are skyrocketing. Choices are disappearing. It is only getting worse. That is why we have to repeal this law and put in place a vibrant marketplace with competition and lower premiums for families. That is what the American Health care act is all about. It makes health care more affordable. It takes care of our most vulnerable. It shifts power back to the states, and most portly back to the patients. Host do you agree with the speaker . That their proposal will be better than the Affordable Care act. Virginia am a democrat. Good morning. Caller i do not agree. It makes me wonder if they know how much health care costs, so they can see the amounts they are talking about are not realistic for the actual costs. Host how do you get your insurance . Caller through my employer. I have a high deductible i have to pay. I have one choice of plan through my employer. Whether you get it there or not, you still have cost to pay. Host why do you think if this republican plan were to pass the senate and be signed, that it would be worse than the Affordable Care act . Overr in my case, i am 50, so mine would go up. Things that are always covered, for example, a physical every year. It is important those things are covered. You are referring to the provision that allows insurers to charge Older Americans more for their premiums. Caller yes. Host ok. Ann in virginia. We will go to pennsylvania, independent. Caller good morning. How are you . Host good. Caller thank you for taking my call. I like that i have some inlaws that have Small Businesses that will now be able to join other similar businesses like restaurants. They have to do with less employees because of the fact that he could not afford insurance. He is excited because now he can hire in be able to afford insurance for all of them because they will be able to join a group now that will be all restaurants. I have another soninlaw with a small business. He is looking to do the same thing. I am happy for them. Happy for cousins and relatives of mine that the Affordable Care act was too high. Their premiums were high. The deductibles were high. They were not seeking the care they needed. One cousin of mine needed cataract surgery. She paid 400 a month for insurance and had a 7,000 deductible. 7,000, and they did not even cover the lenses. Host do you mind telling me how old your cousin is . Caller she just turned 50. Host virginia, your call is related to the previous one. The new york times, Older Americans in most states, the same factors that make the bill better for younger americans, make it worse for those who are older. Charge a companies can 64yearold customer five times the price charged to an 18yearold one. The changes in the subsidy formula require older middleclass americans to pay a much larger share of their insurance bill. The Congressional Budget Office estimates far fewer Older Americans will have coverage under this bill. Tom, columbia, maryland, republican. Go ahead. Caller good morning. I would think that the senate should come up with a red state blue state plan. Arethese people calling in all fighting the civil war again. Statese all from red that obamacare to begin with. Just fight the civil war again. Have a red state blue state host ok. David in ohio. Democrat. Caller hi, greta. Host good morning. Caller thank god for cspan. 676, an advocate for hr which is the expanded and improved medicare for all back in 2017,d representative conyers from michigan has introduced it every year since 2003. It was not brought up for debate in 2009 because of obamacare. Nebraskaelson from complicated the Patient Protection and Affordable Care act. Host ben nelson. Caller it is known as the cornhusker kickback. We need to get and senator sanders from vermont has advocated that we need to get with the other 29 industrialized major nations of the globe and go to a singlepayer, universal Health Care System. Let me give you a historical. The reason we have this Employer Sponsored Health care for istage system in america january, 1942. ,n the advent of pearl harbor roosevelt and the administration placed wage controls on the arms industry in the buildup towards fighting nazi germany, imperial japan, and fascist italy. Were placedontrols with the caveat that Health Insurance could be a fringe benefit. We are locked in a system, which is 75 years old, and now the the Insurance Companies and big pharma with wall street with the vantage of accelerated insurance ,laims per year, on average each american who has a job with 5,000 per to pay year for Health Insurance. Juntas bill that the ryan has pushed through, it is dating it hundredting that 50 billion will be taken from 850 billion will be taken from medicaid. Theres a lot that is wrong with the Affordable Care act. We need to move from this lower standard of insurance mandate to either a blended system of th ande and public heal eventually a singlepayer system. Host ok. Wall street points that number billion for medicaid cuts. Look at how the vote yesterday is playing out across the country. Ins is from the newseum washington. Alaska, the Alaska Governor rips the republican on the revision. Don young being one of those that was undecided yesterday. Cheers passage of Health Care Bill in the house. Gopfrancisco, House Passes Health legislation, and it was California Republicans key to that victory. Congressman darrell issa and others. Couldould be millions lose coverage in state of california. We had this from the sunshine state. Los angeles times, republican win for now. California gop house members all several, including whose seats are seen as uncertain. A big picture of the speaker of the house. His republican leadership, president and Vice President , the Affordable Care act steps closer to repeal. Representatives from california vote to replace obamas signature legislation. The hartford current out of connecticut, a we review of fears of reduced care. Senate fate is uncertain. The Palm Beach Post in florida, house guts obamacare. Trump hails passage of a great plan. We want to know what you think of it this morning. Dwight, florida, republican. Caller hi. How are you today . Host good morning. Caller good morning. I want to lay out what kind of savings this could mean. My insurance came into effect. Everyone is saying how it will be more portable. No one is putting any money on it. Will there be more than one plan . Host are you asking about the republican proposal . Caller yes. Host it is strictly dealing with the budget. You are talking more about policy and regulations. As the president tweeted this morning, there is more to come. They want to do more phases to completely replace the Affordable Care act. Tom, independent, good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. I think this is a verse that in getting a usable Health Care System in the united states. I lived in the u. K. For three years under that system. I dont think most people would really like to live under that system. It is very restrictive. Restrictedically your first call to your counsel n,sition, then physicia then referrals. Least will care act, at congress is looking to improve the Health Care System in the united states. It is a first step. Im happy they have taken a look at this. Host you are an independent. Did you vote for the president . Caller i did. Host do you typically vote republican . Caller i typically vote republican, yes. Host what do you think this does for the Republican Party . Caller i think it is going to help the Republican Party because they say they are going to fix or replace, however you want to say, the problems with obamacare. It is a first step. Congress is going to do something to try to fix the problem that they overlooked or created, however you want to say that. It is a good step for the republicans. I think the democrats and republicans should Work Together and get a system that works, that is fair to the people of the united states. I dont think singlepayer is the answer. That is some system there they need to work out. They have a lot of horsepower on the hill to figure out those solutions. Host the president thinks it is going to unify the party. Here he is yesterday. [video clip] mr. Trump this has really brought the Republican Party together. As much as we came up with a really incredible Health Care Plan, this has brought the Republican Party together. We are going to get this finished, and then you know we put our tax plan in. It is the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. I used to say the biggest since ronald reagan. Now it is bigger than that. Pure tax reform. This really helps it. A lot of people ask, why did you keep pushing health care . Obamacare to 17 months. Hillary clinton tried so hard, valiantly in all fairness, to try to get health care through. It did not happen. We have been doing this for eight weeks, if you think about it. This is a real plan. This is a great plan. We had no support from the other party. Host no democrats voted for the legislation yesterday. 217213. The republicans went out for a rose garden celebration yesterday to celebrate their win. Now all eyes on the senate. In other news this morning, economic news, jobs not back in april. Washington examiner headline, 211,000 jobs added. Unemployment fell to 4. 4 . The lowest in 10 years. California democrat. Good morning. Caller good morning. How are you . Host i am doing fine. What do you think . Caller i think it is awful. I think it is a joke of an administration. I am so upset with the lies that paul ryan is allowed to say. That obamacare is going down. It may not be the greatest, and they should work on improving it and getting more money because i have to pay a 7,000 deductible, 12,000 a year. It is hard to go to the doctor, let alone surgery. What they did is for the corporate business. How sad is that. I am very disappointed in this administration. Why cant we have Free Health Care . Richest country in the world. Waste money all over the place but where we need to spend it, on the people. Diana, california, republican. Caller hi. Host you are on the air. Believe that republicans are discriminating against the disabled, the poor, and the age. Aged. I am going to change my party. I have seen this president lied to the people and treat us like we are stupid. Im ashamed of the Republican Party. Host did you vote for President Trump . Caller yes. And i am ashamed. Host because of this issue alone . Caller because of the way he is. His lies and how the republicans this is discrimination. There is no other word for it. I thought our country was not supposed to discriminate. The republicans are teaching us different. I am so ashamed of them. Host all right. There are a couple of members of congress from california, republicans, who voted for this legislation that are in districts that Hillary Clinton won. Politico has this story about the House Republicans who could lose their jobs. Lets go through the list. Starting with darrell issa at the top. Hillary clinton 151 in his district. He received 50 in the last election. Carlos cabello of florida, hillary one 57 . Illinois, erik paulsen of minnesota, Pete Sessions of texas, john cap go of new york. Rollcall, thefrom republicans who voted no. 20 republicans voted no yesterday. Donald trumputran in the last election cycle. Take a look at this graphic. Most republicans who voted against the Health Care Bill, outperformed President Trump by more than five Percentage Points in 2016. If you look at the numbers, ratings for018, the republicans who voted against the Health Care Bill, more than half are in safe districts. Republican, for likely republican, and three leaning republican. Also this morning, you can find the democratic the senators were going to be key to passing any legislation over there. Rollcall has a story on that as well. Hatch,y senator orin chairman of the finance committee, as well as senator lamar alexander, who chairs the house education, labor, and pensions committee, they will be key senators to watch. They have jurisdiction over this issue. Another story this morning related to the senate efforts. This is the hill newspaper. Headline about montana senator jon tester, open to repealing and replacing obamacare. A democrat to watch as well. Melissa in north carolina, independent. Hi. Caller hey. Both are husband disabled. We get medicare and medicaid. Through, it is going to hurt us big time. What about the poor . It is hurting the poor people. Ys. Se women got no dadd paul wants to throw us off the cliff. Host ok. Chuck, republican, what do you think . Caller i think i could live up to this new perspective. My wife was just laid off a few months ago after working 28 years. I am disabled. We are fresh into this. The only thing i see different is the cost of insurance stays the same no matter what plan you are on or where you are. Playing the blame game on the democrats and republicans and how they voted is not a true statement in my eyes. Cost before when she had employee insurance him and the cost now that we are insurance, and the cost now that works out tomacare be the same out of our pocket. The only difference is there is less income now because she is unemployed. Host the wall street journal reports that democrats are eyeing republicans in vulnerable districts in the 2018 election. Representepublicans districts rated at least somewhat competitive. How they voted on the American Health care act could affect their chances for reelection, particularly in districts where President Trump did not do as well. We can show you these republicans who are in districts where there could be trouble for them in 2018. Lets listen to rudy in california, democrat. Good morning. Caller good morning, greta. I am a 61yearold male who has lived under different Health Care Systems before obamacare. I would like to say to all the people out there, 21yearold, 61yearold,i am but i was 21 plaster. There was a point where they will come to us elderly and look for something that is going to help them. This new Health Care System that the republicans have come up back. S going to take us there are going to be a whole lot of people hurt by this. We may have to wait another 20 years before they see it. I hope not. I hope the senate is smart when they take this bill. Host the wall street journal writes this, democrats learned when they lost 60 seats in the 2010 election. This can be a recipe for electoral disaster, one they hope affect republicans in 2018. Even the 20 republicans who opposed the measure must tread the landscape carefully. Of the 34 democrats who voted against the aca, 30 were defeated or retired within two elections. Carolina, independent. Caller good morning. The issue that is not covered under the aca or this new bill yesterday is the consolidation of the medical industry itself. You have providers purchasing Insurance Companies. Purchasingompanies provider networks. Huge consolidation within the Hospital Networks where you dont find many regional or local hospitals anymore that are not affiliated or owned by larger lummox. Even though larger conglomerates. How do you have a vibrant marketplace when the market is controlled by fewer individuals . Host they cannot do that under budget restrictions. Everything has to be related to the budget to get it through the senate under reconciliation. Do you see this as something that you would be in favor of republicans doing and support republicans and they were to do it in the next phase . They are not going to do it in the next phase. If that was going to be the case, it would be covered in the aca, which it wasnt. It has not been discussed in any of the situations with the new health care act. There is too much money involved. This is political kabuki theater. Host two powerful special washington . Interests is special in every state and region. If you look in the pittsburgh region, you have one hospital purchasing Insurance Companies, and an Insurance Company purchasing hospital groups. They are controlling the market in that area. It is happening in chicago. It is happening all over the country. You have fewer providers that are not controlled by a group. Host ok. More of your calls coming up. This weekend, the cspan cities us to redding, california. Here is this Northern California city. [video clip] we joked, where is redding . We are the largest town north of sacramento. We are approximately 90,000 people. We typically have a little higher retiree up here. Sacramento, bay area refugees that are retiring that want to come summer that is more affordable. Somewhere that is more affordable. We have a lot of outdoor activities. We have a lot of those. Isding has a history that founded in mining, lumber, railroad. My family is thirdgeneration lumber. I take particular interest in what that has done for the community and the changes in the lumber industry. We have seen Environmental Policies with forests or endangered species. My family has been in the lumber industry for 60 years. I see writing continuing redding continuing to grow its brand as an Outdoor Recreation met got. Mecca. I lived in the east day. There is something about these midsized towns where we dont have traffic issues, airquality issues, and we had this abundant lifestyle. I tell my parents generation, they lived where they got a job. The millennial generation lives where they want, then they will find a job. Host booktv and American History tv in redding, california, this weekend on cspan2. Back to your calls about the revisions to the Affordable Care act. The American Health care act, which the house passed yesterday. Republican. Good morning. Caller good morning. How are you . Host well. Caller the predictable liberal Media Outlets are taking the democrat talking point that republicans are going to somehow get her. The facts are since obamacare was rammed down our throats, the republicans have gained 1044 seats largely because of obamacare. The republicans gained the house, the senate, and the white house largely because of obamacare. This narrative that somehow repealing obamacare is going to hurt republicans is laughable. Host what about the argument that if you take away the expansion of medicaid, people lose insurance, preexisting possibly ifow states opt out, they get her, people feel it get hurt, people feel it in their pocketbook and vote against republicans. Caller that is a big if. Who has been hurt in the pocketbook since obamacare was rammed down our throats . Shifting the money around from medicare to medicate and spending it in a different way like the high risk pools, it is just moving money around. Argely americans have been burned by obamacare, and that is why republicans control all three branches of government. Just following the democrat talking point doesnt make things true. The facts are obamacare was terrible for the country. That is why republicans have control of all three branches of the government. A lot of us have been hurt i obamacare personally. I was as well. I am glad to see it go. Host the San Diego Tribune is the story. Darrell issas yes vote makes him center of attention. After days of saying he was undecided and did not want to talk about, representative darrell issa, the republican lawmaker representing southern orange county, votes to replace obamacare, and even as voters praised his boat, detractors blasted it. 216th vote been the to put them over the top. Cast the 216th vote . To him allegedly casting the deciding vote. It is pretty clear that it is impossible for there to be any single vote that is the deciding one. The press secretary for darrell issa checking in the spring. Arkansas, democrat. Go ahead. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. I was going to Say Something about this. It looks like they are taking from the poor, the sick, and the needy and enriching the wealthiest americans again. This is what is going on in this administration. Bill would cut taxes on high income people by 300 billion over 10 years by repealing the imposed by the Affordable Care act. It is a nasty shot in the arm for the poor and the sick. It is almost like saying if you are not rich, you may as well die off. We will be better off without you. That is what it sounds like to me. City. Jeffrey in columbus, mississippi. What do you think . Are you with us . There you go. Caller i am looking at the Affordable Care act. It does work. I can justify that because of my wife. If it was not for the Affordable Care act, she could not get the service she has right now. For the people saying it does not work, that is incumbent on states that have republican governors and congressmen and senators who have set up mandates that are blocking certain parts of the Affordable Care act that have made it hard for other people. I dont think it is fair for them to do things like that. What they really need is prayer. They need god. That is what they need. All of us need to pray real hard. Passedfter the house that legislation yesterday, they left washington to go back to their districts. They will be working in their home states all of next week. The senate now has to take up what the house did yesterday. Pass their own legislation according to the senators in charge. They have had working groups looking at this. It looks like they could take it up as early as june in the senate. Lawmakerse of the key over there who will be crafting this legislation. That is senator lamar alexander, republican in tennessee. [video clip] we want to get it right. There will be no artificial deadlines. We will carefully consider the legislation passed by the house. We will Work Together carefully to write our own bill. We will make sure we know what our bill costs when we vote on it. By law, we have to do that. We will get it right, and then we will go. Hopefully, the end result will forignificant improvements most americans, giving them more choices of Health Insurance at a lower cost, and to do that by gradually transferring more decisions from washington, d. C. , to the states and individuals. Host back to your calls. California, democrat. Caller good morning. I have one question that hopefully someone can answer for me. 218ought you had to have votes to pass a bill in the house. Host they have had some early retirements, some vacancies up there. It has to be a majority of the current number. That is why it is 216. Caller thank you. Host brenda, republican. Hi. Caller hi, how are you . Host good morning. Caller im on the republican line. Im a registered republican. I have not voted republican the last few elections. I am a retired nurse. I am on obama care. I get the subsidies. That has helped me retire. I am not 65 yet. It would be really bad for us to lose that, lose the subsidies. Medicaid a state where , the majority of payment to the hospital. I think this is a terrible bill. I hope it does not pass the senate. Host what do you think it will do to the hospitals you have worked at . Caller the hospitals will probably have to do free care. It is a community hospital. They need that money. Personally,r you without the subsidy . Caller i would have to drop the insurance. Without the subsidies it is 1000 a month. Host if you drop it, you go without insurance . Caller i go without insurance. Fortunately, i have pretty good health at this time. We never know. I would have to. There is no way on retirement i can pay over a thousand dollars a month. Host what about returning to work . Caller i could. I dont really want to. 60 i would not want to. I could if i had to. The insurance i had to not really pay for a lot of my medicines. They would not pay for that. There on our line for publicans. Maxine is an independent. Go ahead. Caller hello and thank you for this opportunity to speak. I want to say that every human being, each and every one of us, is already a preexisting condition. Debatethat argument and is nonexistent. We are already preexisting conditions. These people are talking about everything but health care. See face to face the leader of a country that has General Health care, a functioning system, why not reach for it . Instead of debating, because in four years we will be having these same debates every four years or more often than that. I feel another thing about palming off the choices of benefits to the states, it can be divisive. We have plenty of division in this country already. Im remembering again that we are all humans with physical needs. We dont want 50 Different Health plans in one unified country. That doesnt sound logical to me. Host we will go to colorado springs. Barbara, democrat. Youre on the air. Caller yes. I wanted to tell people i work in insurance for 26 years. The one thing that would knock it you insurance is if you were obese. Our country, unfortunately, we are the fattest country in the world. Everybody out there who has fullblownhere is diabetes, 30 Million People out there. Another 70 Million People out there are prediabetic. You are all on medications. Fatreason our country is so is because the Koch Brothers have been feeding us genetically youried wheat that all of ropethe oriental eu and the oriental countries got rid of. They found it was making people sick and fat. They are losing their autoimmune systems. Everyone out there like me who has arthritis. I have a chemo iv every six weeks just to try to stay alive. The drugs i take kill off your white blood system. Everyone there with ibs. There are 40 Million People with ibs, veritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome. All of you are preexisting. Host in other news this morning, usa today, conservatives find Donald Trumps religious liberty executive order lacking. It targets the johnson amendment, which prohibits religious organizations from getting directly involved in political campaigns. The order stopped short of trumps about to totally destroy the amendment, instead instructing the Internal Revenue ice to theres also this in the Washington Times this morning. The house passed the 1. 1 trillion spending bill to keep the government running until september. That is the fiscal year 2017 spending measure. It passed yesterday 7918. President sto the desk. The house could be voting on a rollback of. Frank doddfrank. It would relieve ranks of some regulatory requirements as long as they meet certain capital standards. It would also subject banks to stress tests biannually instead of every year, repeal the bulk volker rule. It also calls for the restructuring of the Consumer Financial protection bureau, an agency created after the initial crisis. You. Inal headline for from that hearing yesterday we covered on cspan, feds cannot keep up with one million visa overstays. Lets hear from barry in houston, texas. Independent. Caller hi. Thank you for taking my call. The reason i was calling, i think we need to not criticize democrats or republicans because they are both guilty of the same hypocrisy, and that is signing off on this bill without having become aware of the details. I think that is one big problem. We need to stop and ask ourselves, why is it that when ofublicans have a piece legislation, it is never targeted blessedly and exclusively to struggling people, poor people. Theres always an exception for the rich. That is something we need to ask yourselves. Why is there always the bidding of the powerful insurance lobbies, the banking lobbies, whenever there is republican legislation. I voted for donald trump, mainly voting against Hillary Clinton. I say that with a sense of shame. I think there are a lot of people like me who voted for this president thinking he would be a change agent. They are hanging onto their support for him out of pride and hubris because they dont want to admit that this president lacks host are you there . I think we lost them. Darrell, alabama, democrat. Good morning. Caller good morning. How are you doing . Host well. Caller i appreciate you taking my call. There were, you have to listen to the phone, not the tv. Host we are still with you. Caller i would like to make a comment concerning the political adjustments everyone makes. The Affordable Care act is not obamacare. It was a system designed to help the American People. At first there was nothing done concerning our medical status. The fact that there was something done after all these years is a plus. With ishave a problem politicians are not willing to work to help the American People. We have very few patriots. I wish they would put more efforts into helping American People rather than statements. Personally, they can deal with the Insurance Companies, the medical, the pharmaceutical. That is actually where the problem lies. Fill the pockets of profits. I think we could get a lot more done on both sides. Host ok. Randall, republican, kentucky. Good morning. Caller good morning. Host you are on the air. Caller yes. Are old enough to get medicare and medicaid. Takesaid, it is going to 837 billion out of it. Host medicaid expansion. Hurtr that is going to medicaid and medicare, what they are doing. Host is that what you think . Caller the way it sounds it is going to. Host are you want medicaid . Caller yes, and medicare. Host why do you get medicaid . Caller i am a diabetic. Different kinds of medicine. Call in, im that always thought i was a republican. Ever decided to vote, and a lot of times i did vote, i would change over to democrat. Host ok. That is randall. Eileen, florida, independent. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. I have a couple of comments. I have been disabled for 30 years. I went back and got an education. T forked for 7 taugh seven or eight years. I was terribly jake. Raplegiac. Was pa i am afraid now it is going to change. I am trapped like many Older Americans into whatever the government is willing to do. I have no ability with my multiple disabilities to go back to work. I am afraid of what is happening. I am a little angry at the benefits they are giving rich toricans who have an ability increase their income further. They are getting breaks while people in my position will end up losing. I will probably die earlier if i lose the medical coverage i have. I have no choices. I think this is unfair for most americans my position. You will see a lot of older people dying and disabled people dying because they dont get the proper care. About astion is how flat tax for everybody that er where one pay richer people are paying a portion of their income just like people in less fortunate circumstances, 25 flat tax. That would be more fair to everybody in the nation. Host i will leave it there. We will get one less caller last caller. Patricia, democrat. Caller i want to say i am the poster girl for the opposite of republican. I am a white woman who has two College Degrees and, literally, seven years ago was retiring and got sick. It took a while to figure out what was wrong with me. It was an autoimmune disease. Suddenly, i lost all of my money, all of my savings, all of my pension as i paid my medical bills. Then i had to get medicare because i was considered disabled. That did not even come out to be enough. While i hear some Republican House members talk about that if you were healthier i was. People need to know that medicare pays 80 . If you have a big medical bill, you owe 20 . I had to get medicaid, so i have medicare, medicaid, and seven years have gone by. Every five weeks, i get iv it and it is 12,000. I have nothing else wrong with me but this autoimmune disease. Host we will leave it there. Thank you for calling in and telling us what you think about what the republicans did in the house yesterday. Enjoyed the rest of your weekend. We will be back tomorrow morning at 7 00 a. M.

That discussion hosted by the americans for Health Reform at noon eastern. We will have it live on cspan. After that, the White House Press briefing scheduled to start at 1 30 eastern. We will have that life. Tonight on cspan, a look at President Trumps foreignpolicy during his first 100 days. We will hear from defense. Epartment officials heres a brief look. So lets say, we thought we would talk about this more with the Iran Nuclear Deal lets say iran does more than it typically does. They typically walk right up to andedge of violating that that we have to pull them back. This happens on a weekly basis. It is a lot of work to keep that deal moving forward as it has been, which is good. Lets say they violated. A six country deal, the chinese, the russians, the germans, the chinese, the brits and the americans negotiating with the iranians, and you have the other allies they like this deal. President trump, who spent a good deal of his transition denigrating the Intelligence Community and the quality of the information that they get, and spends time saying that the press is the enemy, and that anything he doesnt like his big news how is he going to go to his allies and say, we have intelligence that shows the iranians are violating this agreement and we need to reimpose sanctions .
