She did announce she would have been a no vote on this bill. The local democrats say their votes were clear from the start. Their phones were ringing off the hook as well. The phones are blowing up. People are outraged. Democrats are outraged. Moderate republicans are outraged. I dont have a whole lot of conservative republicans calling me up, but no, people continue email, to call, occasionally we get a letter. And when im in the community, i had a town hall meeting on saturday, big turnout. Reporter going to hear from other members of congress in the d. C. Area coming up tonight on news4 beginning at 5 00.

We saw a lot of rain earlier today but that rain is out of here. A warm front moved in. Amelia down there on the tidal basin. Reporter yeah, doug. Were here at the tidal basin. 58 beautiful degrees down here. After some rain around this morning the sun is coming out. So many people down here already. I reached out to the head for the National Park service Cherry Blossoms festival. How many people do you guys expect down here during the festival . He answered back 1. 5 million. Heres why. Just spectacular despite Mother Nature throwing us that curveball with those freezing cold temperatures. We are seeing that puffy white stage out here on many of the blossoms. I talked to a gentleman down here from baltimore. He said its his second year. This is a picture from megan mcgrath. Peak bloom will be this weekend.

Com a local mother has been reunited with herau were going to bring you that story in just a second. First, paul ryan is speaking. I told the president the best thing to do is to pull this bill. He agreed with that decision. This is a disappointing day for us. Doing big things is hard, all of us, myself included. We will need time to reflect on how we got to this moment, what we could have done to do it better. Ultimately this all kind of comes down to a choice. Are all of us willing to give a little to get something done . Are we willing to say yes to the good, the very good even if its not the perfect . If were willing to do that, we still have such an Incredible Opportunity in front of us. There remains so much that we can do to help improve peoples lives and we will. Ive got to tell you, thats why every member of this congress is here to make this a better country. We want American Families to feel more confident in their lot in life. We want the next generation to know that, yes, the best days of this country are still ahead of us. Im really proud of the bill that we produced. It would make a dramatic improvement in our health care system. The worst is yet to come with obamacare. Im also proud of the long, inclusive, memberdriven process that we had. Any member who wanted to engage constructively to offer ideas to improve this bill, they could. I want to thank so many members who helped make this bill better. I also want to thank the president. I want to thank the Vice President. Tom price, Mick Mulvaney and the entire white house team. The president gave his all in this effort. He did everything he possibly could to help people see the opportunity we have with this bill. Hes still, weve got to do better, and we will. I absolutely believe that. This is a setback, no two ways about it. I know every man and woman in this conference is motivated more than ever to step up our game, to deliver on our promises. [ inaudible question ] to try and help it along or this is the problem. The question is weve kind of prop it along and try and prop it up. It is so fundamentally flawed, i dont know that that is possible. What were really worried about is the coming premium increases that are coming with a death Spiraling Health Care system. That is my big concern. We just didn consensus today. What we have is a memberdriven process to try and get consensus. We came very close, but we did not get that consensus. Thats why i thought the wise thing to do is no proceed with a vote but to pull the bill and see what we can do. I dont think the law as it is fashioned is really going to be able to survive. Drove out your predecessor john boehner, are they responsible for the defeat here today . I dont want to cast blame. There is a block of no votes which is why this didnt pass. We were close. Some of the members of this caucus were voting with us, but not enough were. I met with their chairman earlier today and he made it clear to me that the votes werent sufficient to not have this bill pass. You all swept the house, won the majority with a promise to repeal obamacare. The majority in the senate with a promise to repeal obamacare. The white house with a promise to repeal obamacare. How do you go i home to your constituents saying, you know what, its not even 100 days into the administration. Sorry folks, we just cant figure it out. Its a really good question. I wish i had a better answer for you. I really believe obamacare is collapsing. Its hurting families. Its not working. We believe this bill is the best way to go but we didnt quite get the consensus to get there. Number one, the bottom line is obamacare remains the law of the land. Thats right. Is that going to change in 2017. Yeah. I dont know what else to say other than obamacare is the law of the land. Its going to remain the law of the land until its to replace this law. Were going to be living with obamacare for the foreseeable future. My worry is obamacare is going to be getting even worse. I think we were probably doing the democrats a favor. I think we were doing the architects of obama a favor by passing this law before it gets even worse. I guess that favor is not going to be given to them and its going to get worse. I dont think the architects of obamacare im sure they may be pleased right now but when they see how bad this thing gets based on all the projections we see, i dont think theyre going to like that either. Five states, youve got one plan left, one choice. Over a third of the counties in america, one plan left. And the kinds of projections were being told from the people providing Health Insurance to these people, its going to get even worse. I dont think the architects of obamacare envisioned this future. Its certainly not one we want for the american people. Is a disappointing day. Gop leaders just unable to get enough votes to get it passed. I think the thing that really jumped out at me is the fact that republicans were not able to muster the votes to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act but they have not shown a willingness to actually fix the deficiencies in obamacare. As ryan said, we will be living with obamacare for the foreseeable future. Which means what is the status of health care in america right now . Disappointing loss. Yeah. Look, were going to turn back to some of our local news. A lot going on here today. This was initially considered a suspicious death in montgomery county. Now police say it is a murder. The 17yearold victim knew the person who killed him. It hapne in Silver Spring tuesday. Reporter this 17yearold is facing first degree murder charges after this homicide that happened earlier this week. The victim is 17yearold lee roy matthews. The suspected tells authorities that he and the victim never got along. As a matter of fact he says on the day this happened, he heard the victim on the phone saying he planned to kill the suspect and his family. At that point the suspect strangled the victim while he was in his bed and left. He was later developed as a suspect and confessed to this crime to police. Hes due back in court next month. Again, he faces first degree murder charges if convicted. A mother in d. C. Has been reunited with her daughter after the shes talking this afternoon to news4s Kristin Wright about the overwhelming emotion she has experienced. Reporter one of the girls missing in d. C.

Catherine hunter was missing three long days. Then she showed up at home in southeast yesterday. Her mother says her prayers were answered. She was so scared that she would never see her daughter again. As a mother, ive been dying. I couldnt sleep. Ive been driving all around the street, praying for my baby to come home.

Just a few high clouds making their way in. Again, the temperatures back to the west so much warmer. We have been on the cool side of things. You continue to see the cooler air from our area to the north and east. Back to the west, though, nice and warm. 76 lexington, 73 columbus. The cold air giving way to that warmer air and this warmer air wants to stick around for a while, not just for a while, for at least the next ten days for the most part. A much warmer pattern setting in here. The cold will stay locked to the north. Theres going to be a couple of cooler days but no real cold days out there. Now, tomorrow, if youre heading out to see the Cherry Blossoms, Beautiful Day for it, 76 degrees, mostly cloudy. There could be an afternoon shower to the north, areas closer to the pennsylvania border. 76 degrees, just gorgeous.

Wtop entertainment editor jason fraley joins us live to help us sort the movies out. The space thriller life, is it worth the time and the money . Hey, guys. I actually enjoyed this one. It reminds me a lot of Ridley Scotts alien. Its not science fiction, science friction because its a horror movie in space. This one has a similar monster in the house sort of setup. Its got Ryan Reynolds and jake now its one by one decimating all the astronauts on the ship. If youre a little squeamish, maybe stay away. But if you like this thrilling Space Science fiction stuff i actually really enjoyed it. Theres some nice surprises. It borrows from alien. I actually did enjoy this. Not as good as alien, but pretty darn good. Any movie with ryan gosling, Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender would seem to have a lot going for it. Does song to song deliver . Right. The cast is so deep. But to me, this movie is not deep enough. Its i love some of his gems from back in the day. The last three films hes done i just find very very pretentious. Theyre really just sort of mood pieces like basically twohour directors reels. A lot of people got up and walked out of the screening. I would say stay away from this one. Not my cup of tea at all. Can you tell us how you really feel. From movies to music now, jason. Some music legends coming to the birchmere. Two music legends. We talked ed to both of them. Going to be here.

I saw these two guys bothering this girl like cat calling but to an extreme, like they kept following her down the street. I was like you know what, im going to write a poem like attacks on people that look like me that are my age. Reporter the team tells me their work is never over. Theyre still constantly going through line by line to see how they can make it better.

But unless you know the time, well, lets just say your hands are tied. The kids will tell you sometimes it gets confusing. Reporter telling time isnt so timely anymore. Everyones so used to seeing digital. They all have tablets and cell phones so they dont have to look at a clock vrch thery ofte thats reporter they are trying to change that because of low numbers on a time test. And because they know kids cant always afford to get it wrong. Any time youre in a place of business, out in public, normally will have a clock. Going over to grandma and grandpas house. Reporter do you ever ask your mom and dad what time it is . About three times a minute. Th reporter even kahn couldnt believe how the kids she worked with were running behind on the skill.

And a family of seven is looking for a place to sleep this weekend after their home was destroyed by fire. Back on the air to bring you president trumps comments from just a few moments ago responding to the defeat in the house after paul ryan pulled the gop plan to repeal and replace obamacare due to a lack of support within his own party. Here is how the president reacts just a few moments ago. Thank you very much. We were very close. It was a very, very tight margin. We had no democrat support. We had no votes from the democrats. They werent going to give us a single vote. So its a very difficult thing to do. Ive been saying for the last year and a half that the best thing we can do politically speaking is let obamacare explode. It is exploding right now. Many states have big problems. Almost all states have big problems. I was in tennessee the other day and theyve lost half of their state in insurer. Thats happening in many other and similar things are happening. So obamacare is exploding. With no democratemocrat support couldnt quite get there. We were a very small number of votes short in terms of getting our bill passed. A lot of people dont realize how good our bill was because they were viewing phase one. When you add phase two and you add phase three, which i think we would have gotten, it became a great bill. Premiums would have gone down and it would have been very stable and very strong. But thats okay. We were very, very close. Again, i think what will happen is obamacare unfortunately will explode. Its going to have a very bad year. Last year you had over 100 increases in various places. In arizona, i understand its going up very rapidly again like it did last year. Last year was 116 . Many places, i guess it averaged whatever the average was, very very high. This year should be much worse for obamacare. What would be really good with no democrat support if the democrats when it explodes, which it will soon, if they got together with us and got a Real Health Care bill, id be totally open to it. I think thats going to happen. I think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. Now they own obamacare. They own it, 100 own it. This is not a Republican Health care. This is not anything but a Democrat Health care. They have obamacare for a little while longer until it ceases to exist, which it will at some point in the near future. Just remember, this is not our bill. This is their bill. When they all become civilized and get together and try and work out a Great Health Care bill for the people of this country, were open to it. I want to thank the Republican Party. I want to thank paul ryan. He worked very, very hard. I will tell you that. He worked very, very hard. Tom price and mike pence, our great Vice President. Everybody worked hard. I worked as a team player and would have loved to have seen it pass. But again i think you know i was very clear because i think there wasnt a speech i made or very few where i didnt mention that perhaps the best thing that could happen is exactly what happened today. Because well end up with a truly Great Health Care bill in the future after this mess known as obamacare explodes. I want to thank everybody for being here. It will go very snoomoothsmooth. It certainly was a very interesting period of time. We all learned a lot. We learned a lot about lty getting processed. We learned about some very arcane rules in the senate and the house. For me, its been a very interesting experience. But in the end i think its going to be an experience that leads to an even Better Health care plan. Thank you all very much and ill see you soon. Whats next on your well probably be going right now for tax reform, which we could have done earlier but this really would have worked out better if we could have had some democrat support. Remember this, we had no democrat support. So now were going to go for tax reform, which ive always liked. Youre confident in speaker ryans leadership and his ability to get things done . Yes, i am. I like speaker ryan. He worked very, very hard. A lot of different groups. Hes got a lot of factions. Theres been a long history of liking and disliking even in the Republican Party even before i got here. But ive had a great party. It seems both sides like trump and thats good. You see that more clearly than anybody. Im not going to speak badly about anybody within the party. Certainly theres a big history. I think paul really worked hard. I would say that we will probably start going very, very strongly for the big tax cuts and tax reform. That will be next. Let obamacare explode . Its going to happen. Theres not much you can do about it. Bad things are going to happen to obamacare. Theres not much you can do so help it. Eventually its not sustainable. The Insurance Companies are leaving, one by one as quick as you can leave. You have states in some cases soon that will not be covered. So theres no way out of that. But the one thing that was happening, as we got closer, everyone was talking about how wonderful it was. Now it will go back to real life. People will see how bad it is. Its getting much worse. I said the other day when president obama left, he knew he wasnt going to be here, 2017 is going to be a very bad year for obamacare, very, very bad, explosive premium increases and you deductibles are so high people dont even get to use it. I honestly believe i know some of the democrats and theyre good people. I honestly believe the democrats will come to us and say, look, lets get together and get a Great Health Care bill or plan thats really great for the people of our country. I think thats going to happen. You have been watching president trumps response to the surprising developments on capitol hill with the bill fail. He said several times no democrats supported this. When they were passing the Affordable Care act, no republicans in the house or senate voted for that bill. Were moving onto a pretty great weekend. Storm team 4 is helping us gear up for the weekend. Thats right. Amelia is down there at the tidal basin. Doug, whats it looking like .
