he s responsibility to all the people and the flaws in obamacare do need to be fixed and fixed on a by partisan basis. the premiums are going up today to a significant degree because the federal government is not paying the subsidies. that to keep to protect the americans who can t afford healthcare and that s what needs to be fixed, fixed now. he cannot afford to go through this and say let people suffer. and it will help the politics later on. that s a dereliction of duty. i spoke to governor casic today. he told me things the president doesn t really mean he d let obamacare fail. he s not hung up on some fix that if congress were able to give him something to bring down cost. whatever form it took he would sign it. casic observed a lot about trump with when he ramp against him. you re not dealing with a president who has a fixed
an hour. here s the difference. it is shady you re drawing a conclusion about collusion. that s not it. their excuses are shady. they re not being transparent with the american people and the people asking questions. it s easy to say i don t know someone and then there s video of you talking to them or you see pictures of you in meetings with them. listen, forget what we think. listen to what republican lawmakers are saying, wall street journal editorial page. many others raising these same questions here. those are reasonable questions. nyia, talk about health care now. the president blaming everyone but himself in this latest health care failure. here s the president today. let obamacare fail. it will be a lot easier. and i think we ll probably in that position where we ll let obamacare fail. area not going to own it. i can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. nyia, he s saying let obamacare fail. now we re learning the president
i think the vote will at least make them take a position right now people are taking a position without a vote. a vote sometimes makes it more serious. i think if you were for repealing obamacare and are no longer for it, people in your state deserve to know that. underscores the incredible division here, the philosophical differences within the party itself that this is not likely to change over the weekend. four republican senators saying they won t move that particular part of the legislation forward. thank you very much. here s a question for you, what happens if president trump gets his way? will obamacare fail? that s an important premise. we ll ask a republican governor next. people would stare.
let obamacare fail. it will be a lot easier. and i think we re probably in that position where we ll just let obamacare fail. we re not going to own it. i can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. we ll let obamacare fail and then the democrats will come to us and say how do we fix it, or how do we come up with a new plan. the president also says his party s advantage in congress isn t strong enough and voters need to elect more republicans in 2018, but given the sharp divisions reveal by the failure of obamacare repeal, even that might not solve the party 00 problems. more on that now from phil mattingly. reporter: it s the thing they have campaigned on for seven years, they own both the senate and the house in terms of the majority and also the white house. and now it appears like they are going to fail. that is repealing obamacare, what we ve heard republicans talk about year after year. monday throughout tuesday, it
own. here s what he said. i m certainly disappointed. for seven years i ve heard repeal and replace in congress, and i ve been hearing it loud and strong, and when we finally have a chance to repeal and replace they don tce take advantage of it. i think we are probably in that position where we will just let obamacare fail. we are not going to own it. i can tell you the republicans aren t going to own it. we ll let it fail and then the democrats will come to us and they will say how do we fix it, how do we fix it? i don t think that s a realistic scenario. if you have both the house andri the congress and the white house and your party has been elected on a promise to fix this law, this law which was so unpopular, and you don t do that, and the negative consequences of that law take full effect, that the idea they can escape responsibility is nuts. tucker: what would that look like?
