appreciative for how far obamacare has gotten us but we understand we have to reform it to take us further. i want to turn to another event that happened this weekend. kind of only happens in the trump years. the president sent out a tweet, a promo, for his friend on fox news, saying, watch the show. you turn on the of it, if you did, and here s what gentlemshet the beginning of her show? paul ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house. the reason? he failed to deliver the votes on his health care bill. congressman, since you re the republican in the house i just to want say, i m told by a source familiar with the backstory that he didn t know, he, the president, didn t know she was going to call for him to step down, but the fact is, he told his viewers to watch somebody call for him to go. the president and speaker ryan and the chief of staff, the
we have bipartisan, i really think we could have a health care bill that would be the ultimate. and i think the democrats know that also. and some day in the not too distant future, that will happen. but the question is, will democrats actually come to the table? joining me now is bernie sanders. the president is trying to blame democrats for the gop failure to repeal and replace obamacare but he also said he would be willing to work with you and democrats in the senate and house on a solution. so, given that, and given the fact that you have long said there are problems with obamacare and the president wants wants to work with you, but obviously doesn t want to go as far as you do, insurance for everyone, do you think that you can take your position and take his position and you can actually pick up the phone and reach out to him and say, at least let s fix what s happening now? dana, let me just begin by saying this. the bill that was defeated
should have been defeated. it was a disastrous piece of legislation, primarily designed to provide $300 billion in tax breaks to the top 2%, throwing 24 million people off health insurance, raising premiums for older workers in a very, very significant way. it was defeated. the american people wanted it defeated and i m glad we re able to accomplish that. as you indicated, of course, obamacare has serious problems. deductibles are too high, premiums are too high, the cost of health care is going up in a much faster rate than it should. ideally where we should be going is to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all people. that s why i m going to introduce medicare for all single payer program. short-term, this is what we can do. john kasich was talk willing about chatting with the president about the high cost of prescription drugs. well, you know what, i ve introduced legislation that
i hate to tell you, for those that want me to go away, i m not going away. that s good to hear. governor, appreciate your time this morning. thank you. coming up, the republican party failed to keep its promise to repeal obamacare. will the democrats capitalize on their blunder? vermont senator bernie sanders is with me to discuss the par party s future next. ( ) it s off to work we go! woman: on the gulf coast, new exxonmobil projects are expected to create over 45,000 jobs. and each job created by the energy industry supports two others in the community. altogether, the industry supports over 9 million jobs nationwide. these are jobs that natural gas is helping make happen, all while reducing america s emissions. energy lives here. all while reducing america s emissions. isjust wanna see ifa again? my score changed. you wanna check yours? scores don t change that much. i haven t changed. oh, really? it s girls night
negotiations quietly. they went to see senator domenici. we created created it got a law. they have to reach out across the aisle and democrats have to say, we will work with you to fix this plan for people. governor, i m going to channel your colleagues in washington and if they were here to you, they would say to you, the republicans here, the old days are over. that doesn t happen anymore. and democrats are determined not to work with republicans. so, how do you addition. that s pathetic. first of all, it s not the old days any more. if you don t have the old days back from the standpoint of people are americans before they re republicans and democrats, nothing will get done. and if the democrats don t want to reach out and be constructive, then call them on it. talk about the fact that they won t help because many of them will if it s put to them. the exchanges in obamacare are disintegrating. this is not a situation that is going to do anything other than leave people who are
