name it, spend like there s no tomorrow and try to buy off support. that s traditional washington. what i m asking is something not traditional, separate the bills. greg: let me ask you this question, you re not for spending, you are for repeal, if you do this separately, you ll vote for the repeal bill and there s no question about that but when it comes to replacement part of it, where is your vote going to go? well, see my idea of replacement has always been replace it with freedom, replace it with choice, competition, expanded health savings account, buying groups, the association health plans that i ve been pushing across state lines where you can join a bind group, that s my idea of replacement because it s funny back in january i was pushing repeal and replace because i thought republicans believed in replacing it with a marketplace, now i ve discovered that at least half of my senate republican colleagues think replacement means replacement with obamacare alike with more fede
there are big government spending programs, put them on some other bill but the thing is you can t get conservative votes or you can t get my vote if this bill with a bunch of federal spending. greg: sorry, we are having trouble there with the signal. senator paul happening on a second, go ahead, finish your thought there. we have a 500 billion-dollar deficit and we are going to have a trillion dollars next year for loading up repeal with a lot of big government spending, so i think if you want conservative support you split the bill, i think you can get almost every member of our caucus to vote for a clean repeal if there s a concurrent or simultaneous separate bill that includes some of the things that moderates want. greg: just before we leave you, we have a minute left, i wanted to ask you about something, you were there in arlington for the horrible shooting which prompted a call for many people in congress to improve the tone of
can get some democrats in the table. we have seen no evidence whatsoever that any of the democrats would come in and operate, negotiate in good-faith and i honestly, we were back there watching the clip that you played with schumer and can t help but laugh but a smart negotiating tactic for donald trump, someone who is not keen on any of the republican health care bills. i would rather just see obamacare fail. it s probably a smart negotiating tactic for him to say, look, if republicans aren t going to deal with me, thenly deal with democrats because obviously that will become that will something that s even worse than the republicans. obviously a big topic on social media this week. we have some questions. is it possible to split the bill in two as rand paul suggest, just pass repeal now and replace later? very bad idea. why is it a bad idea? what rand paul s interest in
this is not a one-size fits all. greg: senator schumer is saying, hey, come work with us. listen to what he said earlier in the week. i challenge them again, invite us to blare house, the first day we get back from recess, you think we are not serious, try us. democrats are ready to turn the page on health care. when will my republican friends realize it s time for them to do the same. greg: marc, the president say that is the democrats are obstructionists, we are not going to get a single democratic vote, there s the offer from the senate majority leader. john, the president senate minority leader. the president is absolutely right, they have been obstructionist. we have heard from senators, we know the markets are collapsing, it s devastating our state. i can t be with you on repeal because that was one of president obama s accomplishments but we could be with you on replace. this is
being able to say that they passed a repeal bill because that s what they promised the american people. what we all know is it would deal to another catastrophic turn in the market and he made clear in interview that you had with him, that he has no interest whatsoever in working on replace bill and that would be the risk. if mitch mcconnell went this way, you get repeal and you get an even mess and you have no incentive whatsoever for any of the conservatives to come on board and pass a fix. because when it comes to spending, rand paul said, i m against increasing spending. he s not interested in helping with this. but the other question that we have, gerald, from michael pete, how much political trouble are either the trump administration or the senate are unable to reform aca obamacare? well, i think this is the question republicans are grappling with over fourth of july recess, political pain doing k nothing than voting on
