thank you. questions about the intentions of barack obama. ecause at the last correspondence dinner he said i will probably be the last united states.e wouldlso asked the troops you shoot americans if told to do so and the ones that wouldn't much fired. host: where did you read that, bill? caller: where did i read that? yes. caller: i listen to the news msnbs never day on covers that. -- i'm sorry, i can't think that far. we will go to utah. independent. good morning, c-span. thank you for your service and information. --ad a question all lined up host: tell us what the question was. caller: how can a news be conservative and and claim to be fair balanced? it seems to be claiming to be onservative puts you off balance. i'm a life-long republican and onservative to the core but no longer any more. if donald trump and the epublican of what i have seen so far doesn't impress me any more. wall, the the ridiculousness of that is beyond belief. policy thatigration canada adopted and trump put islamic terrorists the north border is where we will have issues with the have to lity they will that country. and 65,000 border patrol agents 2,200 miles is about 150 feet per agent. cannot imagine they can't secure the border. they don't want to secure the order is ultimately what it is coming down to and i don't know it is necessarily that our outhern border is our biggest problem. the wall is a ridiculous thing it the environmental impact will have haven't even been discussed. whether it is wild life or water. we can kill more errorists with bullets i think will breed more terrorists with bullets than we will ever kill. leave it there. .rom louisiana a democrat caller: good morning. speak.ou for letting me whoever guy rudy or his name is how can you let program ppear on the who is just a spokesman for trump?

host: doing well, sir. caller: i kind of have a -- i or t mean to be rude anything but over years i have i suppose ng c-span for 20-some years and it has help but i can't notice your bias when you read all the articles that are negative toward republicans or and dministration or trump it shows. and it shows on your face and it your actions. so i'm just asking if you can possibly read some of the that are positive, too. i t is just my statement and watch you quite often and i sincerely believe that you are you can. best that host: francis in georgia. francis. hi, your last guest christopher ruddy, a lot of the he made i understand but what i don't understand is you all still dealing with president obama? the out of the office and comments that he made about resident obama was weak on russia, i think not. i don't think he was weak at all. obviously we didn't have all the drama we have as we do with the administration. those are the things that i don't like. bothering onstantly with president obama. we need to deal with it which lar administration is trump administration and let them do what they have to do and keep president obama's name from all of this because he has nothing to do with it. that is all i have to say. much. you so host: lisa in clearwater, florida, independent. to talk about jeff sessions for a moment and the russians. they call it a witch hunt when they are talking about him. it's not a witch hunt. and it -- i sion that his from the day wickileaks was released, that was irst batch of e-mails released that the guilt start accusing others of their crime started happening with hillary. she started on trump about being -- having relationless with the ans -- relations with russians and here we found out 20% of our em uranium. that was ridiculous. on and keeps oing going on and jeff sessions is an man for this ing position. this.here is no reason for host: lisa's thoughts in clearwater. phones the next 10 minutes. you can call in with your thoughts about debates that are washington, political and policy. that is happening is over how to go about repealing so-called obama care. look at the drudge report's of the of picture speaker of the house with the caption why so secret obama care the website is it.ing "washington post" front page sortorstory, their headline --ma carroll back at risk of obama care at risk of roll back wanting a phmore aggressive than republicans are raising le with questions about trump and the headed to gridlock as they try to fulfill the promise. senators ted tive paul, mike lee raise the possibility of doing the same under mr. trump. prominentngress three groups plan to increase pressure on lawmakers to repeal it fully or risk retribution from the grassroots. if they hold together in the senate where republicans have the three senators alone could sink a republican bill. the current proposal floated this week by house republicans raceway peels ortions of the a.c.a. but because of pressure from constituents who depend on it leaves some intact that happy atives are not about. in the headline of the drudge because reports came out yesterday that the by republicanorth leadership is in a room in one f the buildings that lawmakers have to go to the room to see and cannot bring out copies of it. senator rand paul tried to go to that room yesterday and brought machine with him to try to get a copy to see what is in the legislation. more about that coming up in a few minutes with the healthcare reporter. len in sofia, north carolina, democrat. caller: hi. good morning. i was just wondering why a newly american president would not call for his own nvestigation into the russian hacking. nd if the intelligence organization should just follow the oil. because trump and rex tillerson stock in oil from russia and wa trump gets rid of the sanctions the oil can flow free is even rich earn. -- richer. why is he innocent suing everybody for saying stuff if it is lies? lynn.all right, dan, rochester, new york, independent. start where do you today? i was just watching cnn before i and listening to blummen that will who said was that you will who said e was a vietnam veteran and that is a guy that lies. he talks about sessions lying in the confirmation. with valerie ue jarrett now living with barack in washington and the main purpose of that whole deal the president n trump's administration. we have eric holder in running some kind of scam out there to try to the areas for of congress so that democrats can counties and areas where they are not represented fully. we have biden's son who is now wife. his previous son's my god, this washington corruption is incredible. host: ok, dan. we will go to donna in tiger, georgia. republicans. caller: hello. how are you?

[video clip] >> history will show your hearings and our hearings that at the end of the day come i want the history to show who actually brought health care to the american people. they are better providing and lower costs. >> the leader can be assured that history will show that. can i see the bill today? >> you are not on that committee . >> in other words, they will mark it up before anybody in the public, including a member of the house of representatives -- is that what the gentleman is telling me? >> it is similar to every other bill would move. before theyst it market up so everybody can see it and debate it. >> that is not regular order. i've been here a long time. regular order is you introduce a -- thatu put a bill in is regular order. it is then printed and referred to a committee. the public can see it as soon as it is printed. it goes to the committee. they establish a hearing. the witnesses then come before the committee and testify to its positive and negative aspects. the committee then schedules a markup. it may even be the same day after the hearing. and then they mark it up. the bill has been given to the public and to members under regular order substantially before that happens. you are telling me i cannot see the bill today, five days before it is scheduled to be marked up. is that accurate? >> have you seen a scheduled markup? i don't have it in my list. this is not the rumor you may have heard. -- another rumor you may have heard. >> "washington journal" continues. host: here to give us an update is erin durkin. republicans would like to repeal this law. where does that stand right now? guest: as you probably saw, we had a draft come out last friday. that is no longer valid.
