Replacement bail-outs. there s 45 billion for opioid. the bill is being let up like a tree and we don t repeal regulations an don t repeal subsidies, now there are republicans getting to weak, we are afraid to repeal the taxes, what happened to these people? they all were for repealing obamacare, now there s virtually no one left. greg: the president stressed the need earlier this year to do this simultaneously because there s concern about the continuity of coverage. let s see how the president put it in the conference in trump tower. it ll be repeal and replace. it will be essentially simultaneously, it will be various segments, you understand, but will most likely be on the same day or the same week but probably the same day, could be the same hour. greg: you have to do this, if not simultaneously, very close ....
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 ....
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 ....
That. i am for repeal and replace. i want to expand the amount of people that get insurance through a cheaper price, i would do it through freedom of choice, buying groups across state lines and letting people save more money in hsa s, the problem with republicans is they have insufficient confidence in what made america great and that s capitalism, freedom of choice, competition. greg: your colleague from nevada has suggested that this was his idea as well. he sent a letter to the president saying that if the senate does not have a bill by the tenth of july, let s go ahead and do the repeal and replace separately and let s work through the august recess in order to get this all done, would you sign on to the idea of working through the august recess? i d rather get it done before that. i think you can do this in the next three weeks. there are other bills out there that are sitting around that have bipartisan support, separate repeal and replace, if ....
