leaders kevin mccarthy and steny hoyer discussed where the house goes from here.

house, steny hoyer, democrat from maryland. do thank you for joining us. let first ask you what you make of what the president was saying about health care, back to saying, hey, it's easy, we can get it done. is stl any scenario where democrats would be interested in sitting down and talking about it? >> look, he said it was easy during the campaign. he said he was going to do in the first days of his administration. he still has not submitted a bill to accomplish what he has told the american people he wants and that is everybody has insurance at a lower cost and better quality. i've said if he has a bill like that, send it down and we'll be very receptive but it's not easy, it is complicated. he was right to at that point in time and clearly his party is a deeply divided party on this issue. but one of the things i want to make sure he doesn't do, and i hope he doesn't do, is undermine the affordable care act's operation on behalf of the american people right now. we need to continue the can cost-sharing subsidies. we need to continue the personal respon

for more on the budget blueprint, let's bring in congressman steny hoyer. he's the house minority whip who represents maryland's fifth district. leader hoyer, thank you for joining us today. >> good to be with you. >> "the washington post" and others lay out this is the most ambitious blueprint we've seen for paring back domestic spending and beefing up defense spending since ronald reagan first came in, in 1981. what do you think? >> i think it's the most irresponsible budget i've seen and most unrealistic budget i've seen. it cuts very substantially, as you pointed out, the state department, which is going to undermine our security around the world. who says that? the people at the pentagon. it cuts nih substantially. ed that's health care research to make america more healthy. so i think when you look at all the component parts, it was simply a hatchet job to increase very substantially the defense side of the budget without paying for it, except with these irrational cuts. i don't really think this is a realistic document. it's not fleshed out, so we do

first, yesterday, representative kevin mccarthy and steny hoyer had a tense exchange on the floor. [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 fact is, i think his representati representation. >> steny hoyer with the democratic view. richard painter, former white house ethics lawyer that served under president george w. bush. always great to have you with us. sheldon whitejoses he thinks at least he will know by 2:30 from the fbi director whether there is a criminal investigation into these alleged ties into trump associates and russia. what would that mean? functionally speaking, what would that mean if the fbi director says there is this criminal investigation? >> well, it depends on who is being investigated and for what. we just don't know what's happened right now, other than there has been criminal activity by the russians inside the united states probably with the cooperation of some people inside the united states, some collaboration with someone, we don't know who. what is crucial is that the trump administration not try to cover everything up, not try to make the mistake that president nixon did with watergate. get the information out, anybody suspected of being involved should be out of the government.

bipartisan support for political stunts because steny hoyer, the minority whip took to facebook live and led a search throughout the capitol looking for a bill and then had a conversation, yes, a real conversation, as you can see, with a bust of abe lincoln. there was no rebuttal from former president abe lincoln to what steny hoyer was talking about, but let's get to the meat of this. is there any indication when we might actually see some sort of bill crafted? >> right. >> reporter: well, trump had said an alternative would come this month. he's not really in charge of coming up with that bill. it seems like all the action there is happening on the house side. these things are going to take a while to -- to figure out. you've also seen i would note two former republican, you know, members, john boehner who knows a thing or two about crafting legislation saying repeal and replace, which is what republicans have promised, he says it's just not going to happen and you saw jim demint, you know, a conservative former senator, saying they wouldn't be able to do it concurrently, so you ha

this is what steny hoyer of maryland said. he says, what i would hope though is that we would not have march madness on this floor next week talking about the full court press to get this passed. kevin mccarthy responding, there will be no upsets. a smattering of laughing on the floor, and hoyer saying, yeah. [laughter] i mean, has it come down to that? in all serious candor,s this is really an important bill for the president of the united states to get passed. it's his first foray into this type of politics and and this type of measure, and it's such an important measure because so many people are looking at this issue saying what do i do about my health care presently, what do i i do about my health care in terms of the future. >> without question. and so i think it's very important that we get a bill to president trump's desk so he can sign it, and it just kind of continues with him -- kelly: so let me ask you -- i'm sorry to interrupt you -- >> let me just say -- kelly: what does the bill have to look like in order to get

former illinois congressman bill walsh, jeff weaver and steny hoyer will join us. peter, let's start with you on the white house north lawn. paul ryan has just left. we have a better idea of what that conversation amounted to between him and the president. >> reporter: no specific details about that consideration, at least not yet up. say it was frank. bottom line we know he was briefing the president on the fact that he didn't believe he had the votes, as we've been communicating, to pass this bill on this day. what was striking and what we heard from sean spicer over the course of this news conference today is the tough position he's in right now, given the facts, the reality that is now right before this white house. they don't want to prejudge the outcome. nonetheless, they don't want to put the blame on him either. the president is saying he did everything, left it all on the field. the sound bite, effectively, there's only so much you can do up. can't force individuals to vote one way or another. on the topic of the house speaker, he says he beliefs the house

he was joined by house minority whip steny hoyer who streamed his trek through the hauls on facebook. >> the future of the affordable health care law has dominated town hall meetings across the country, americans insisting that they'll be in dire straits if it were repealed. abc's serena marshall is here with all the detail boston. >> good morning. thanks again for being here. >> so this was a capital quest through the marbled hauls of capitol hill for the bill that could ultimately repeal and replace obamacare. a search throughout congress for the room where congress members working on legislation were meeting. the event reminiscent of 2009 when democrats were accused of shrouding their health care bill that ultimately became the affordable care act in secrecy. but that didn't stop democrats and republicans from some theatrics last night with gop senator rand paul leading an the charge. >> i think there's a bill in there. >> i asked for a copy of the bill and i'm being told i can't have a copy of the bill. i'm also being told by others i should sit back and take it, and i don't think

kirsty and steny hoyer to make sure that the our consensus driven. we don't do it on every bill, but last year through the innovation initiative we've got 35 bills in less than six months. you still have 380 votes to say that. and they are going on to become law. the act he signed at 11:07 a.m. on friday. they are closer with the innovation bill. so putting that they are before you get to the context of the political alignment, this energy whenever you have a new administration and a new congress to do things. this is a consensus driven area and will continue to be one. we'll see a lot of progress. when you take on some of the four year issues and think about the fact there is party alignment, hopefully it will create the opportunity to create similar structural changes that will be beneficial for a system and democracy and the rest. >> host: where does privacy land? >> guest: so, it's like one of those great american debates. the technology has been new questions about an old value and that is certainly something that has been on the topic of our en

this is a cbo analysis, not steny hoyer's analysis. now, i don't know how many of you think that a 64-year-old person earning $25,000 a year, how they could possibly pay $12,900 for their insurance. that is not a debateable figure. that's a figure that cbo gives us as to the consequences premium. >> will the gentleman yield? >> the gentleman i'm sorry probably does not know but there's been a decision made several days ago that there would be additional dollars to make whole those people from 50 to 65 by increasing the amount of the tax credit. reduced u've done is 10% to 5.8%. that produces 85 billion for a program that i don't think you expect to go into place, which you think will be used by the the united states senate to do what you have 10% to 5.8%. that produces 85 billion for a program just said. yes i know that. that is betting on the come. i think you're going to lose that bet. >> we're talking about the plan as we know it. you know, and i want to thank the leadership for not only coming to our committee today, but for being

the leader, leader mccarthy has worked very closely with people like steny hoyer the make sure that these bills are consensus-driven. we don't always do that on every bill, of course, but there's an overwhelming number. last year through the innovation initiative, we passed 35 bills in less than six months. the average bill had over 380 votes in favor. and these bills then are going on to become law. in fact, the last bill president obama signed, the talent act -- which i believe he signed it 11:07 a.m. friday, doesn't cut it much closer, was the innovation bill. so putting that there as, you know, before you even get to the context of the political alignment, there is energy whenever you have a new administration and a new congress to do things, and this is a con consensus-driven area,d i think it will continue to be one. so we're going to see a lot of progress. you know, that said, when you take out some of the thornier issues and think about this party alignment, hopefully, it will create the opportunity to do some more structural changes that will be beneficial for our system and our

we saw steny hoyer talking to the statue of lincoln. house minority leader, nancy pelosi, has been mocking the republicans on twitter. offering her hounds to help in the search for the missing obamacare replacement bill and comparing the search to a game of "where's waldo?" are democrats doing too much to fuel anger instead of helping republicans get down to the business of improving obamacare? >> here's the thing, pamela -- republicans have no interest in improving the affordable care act. they want to throw millions of people off the health roles and that's what will happen. and by the way, they want to bankrupt medicare. look, republicans always wanted to destroy medicare, that's been, they've hated medicare. and what the affordable care act did actually, and this is an important thing, we don't talk about this it pushed off the insolvency of medicare, at least until 2028. the congressional budget office, not betsy's alternative facts or the white house's alternative facts, the congressional budget office said that $350 billion of th

democrats actually joined in on that effort, which led to this rather bizarre moment with steny hoyer, who was looking for the same so-called secret bill, and ended up having an imaginary conversation with a bust of president lincoln. here it is. >> that's not democracy. that's not good for our people. i know, mr. lincoln, you are as upset with your party as i am. >> reporter: the chairman of the energy and commerce committee which they are working on this draft bill, he really tried to downplay any perception of secrecy here. he said, look, this is just regular order, we want to make sure our members can get in and review the draft as it is currently being written, to refine it going forward. but certainly leading to such a big week last week, there is an extra level of caution here. you guys recall late last week when the draft was leaked to several media outlets including cnn, there was a firestorm of criticism. so leadership wants to make sure they're going into next week with some momentum behind this draft bill. >> you can't make this stuff up, talking to the bust of lincoln. >>

she attended the joint session of congress last night as a guest of maryland representative steny hoyer, as someone affected deeply by the affordable care act. can you respond to what president trump said last night, what it was like to be in the room and your thoughts? it was wonderful to be in the americans onwas quite scary the portable care act. the plan to repeal and replace would mean higher costs are health insurance and lower benefits for health insurance recipients. i am terrified of what a repeal for the affordable care act we do for people like me, disabled americans like me. i'm sitting in a wheelchair now, but disabled people, americans, are the largest minority in the unit -- united states. we are not protected i needed the protection of the aca and i'm grateful to president obama for that. amy: something prompt did not mention last -- president trump to not mention last that was planned parenthood. but it is clearly at the targeting of republican policy right now, the new head, among other examples, of the department of health and human is one of the leaders to defund pla

house minority whip steny hoyer took to facebook live leading friends on the search of capitol hill for the bill and had a conversation with the bust of abe lincoln talking to it about the republican party and how it would feel about this. so, look, stunts, they go both ways on capitol hill. >> and sources tell cnn abraham lincoln had no comment on what was going on yesterday. >> no tweets, either, from abe lincoln . >> he hasn't tweeted in a long time. 39 minutes past the hour. >> vice-president pence used his private e-mail on sensitive matters of homeland security. the personal account was hacked last summer. pence's office insists he fully complied with indiana law. current indiana governor eric hole come has released 29 pages of e-mails from pence's personal aol account. he is refusing to release a number of others claiming they are either confidential or too sensitive to be seen by the public. pence has repeatedly bashed hillary clinton for using her private server while secretary of state. >> a major break from u.s. trade policy is taking direct aim at china. a new paper from the

democratic minority whip steny hoyer, live from capitol hill. long-time representative of maryland. thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> good to be with you. >> take us back to, what was it, 2010 when health care passed in the house and the senate as well, the obamacare bill did. it was just as tight a vote, it seems, as this one. what happened then? what went on in the hours before that vote and what's going on now? >> first i was the majority leader and the whip, mr. cleyburne, the speaker nancy pelosi and i were confident we had the votes to pass our bill. it was because we worked at it over a very long period of time, over a year and a half that we had worked on the bill, listened to people, gotten their input, seen the places where they had concern, addressed those concerns, talked to the community, had really hundreds of witnesses come in from around the country, experts as well as laypeople. so, we had done a lot of work. this bill, you understand, was introduced two weeks ago. this bill had -- was marked up 36 hours after it was introduced and this bill has been

. >> that was house minority whip steny hoyer having an earnest heart-to-heart with a big giant bust of abraham lincoln because he couldn't find the new house republican health care bill. now, he wasn't the only one looking for it. the whole caper didn't start with democrats. after news reports started circulating that house republican leaders were hiding their new bill to repeal and replace obamacare and only allowing certain members to view in the a secret reading room, today republican senator rand paul decided to blow the thing open tweeting this morning "i am heading to the secure location where they are keeping the house obamacare bill. i will demand a copy for the american people. and he came prepared. >> we're assuming it's several hundred pages long, we brought our copy machine but it looks like we won't be able to copy it. >> senator paul and his copy machine were denied entry where they arrived at the room where the bill was rumored to be. then the mystery thickened? >> we showed up and asked to have a copy of the bill and we were told we couldn't have a poppy. then later

just a few minutes ago, democratic steny hoyer says he's pretty confident that no democrats will be voting for this bill. that means the house freedom caucus votes are the ones that hang in the balance. and at the meeting with the republican conference earlier this morning, the president personally called tout leader of that group, congressman mark mad meadows, threatening to go after meadows if it was the votes of the freedom caucus that cost the white house that win. just after those comments, speaker paul ryan was ask idea that group stands now. >> we have a lot of freedom caucus members who are supporting this bill. we've been working with all of our members on many of their concerns. and i would simply say that a lot of the members' concerns have been incorporated in this process. >> reporter: you take a look at some of the changes, the fact that obamacare taxes will be repealed this year versus next year and that medicare expansion will be further kushed, those are efforts to that end. but we will get a new cbo score this week, scott, and that could further complicate things. any del

. >> and steny hoyer also went on a hide-and-seek mission. what can we expect? >> next week there will be the markup session in two house committees and republicans are going to be hammering it out. we also have speaker of the house paul ryan in wisconsin with vice president pence and hhs secretary tom price. so i think we're going to get more. but yesterday's activity by rand paul, as well by democrats, kind of exposed one of the flaws with house republicans, that they campaigned on and complained about democrats and a lack of transparency in 2010 with the craftsmanship of the health care law. and critics yesterday were saying, well, where is the transparency with this new legislation? >> is there a secret room? >> apparently there was and there have been some reports, chris, about there are starting to be some details that are coming out. but, again, we're going to get more and hopefully a more transparent process starting next week. >> mark murray, as alway get to see you. have a great weekend. >> you, too. >> and coming up, an unlike lly friendship, what for

steny hoyer aside for a second, why aren't the rank and file in the republican party allowed to see this bill? >> it's bipartisanship at its best, katy. republicans and democrat on search for the bill. what's happening here is republican leadership say there's not a bill yet to see. many republicans don't believe that. there was a draft bill leaked to the press last week. and they say that this is a very top-down process, that their ideas aren't getting herd, at only a few people with writing this bill and they won't have any chance to amend it, put in their prescription into it. and so they're very frustrated with how this process is being very top-down and they're having very little input. >> nbc politics reporter leigh ann caldwell, fortunately not talking to a bust of abraham lincoln. >>> "the celebrity apprentice" is once again in search of a new host. arnold schwarzenegger is saying he won't do another scene even if asked. he said in a statement, i loved every second of working with nbc and mark burnett. everyone from the celebrities to the crew to the marketing department was a st

we'll see how much progress they can make with democrats, steny hoyer the whip that expressed as much as so has nancy pelosi. the freedom caucus indicated they were trying to get to yes. mark meadows said he looked beat last night, physically beaten coming out of his office. he wasn't going to put out a statement. people were afraid they were going to blame the freedom caucus for, this there were and signals that that's where certain rank and file were pointing. whether or not they can do something to tweak obamacare, great. that's not the campaign promise that all of these republicans ran on. you have to remember what happens to first term presidents in the first term mid-term election. look what happened to president clinton in 1994. the gingrich revolution. the democrats lost control of the house for the first time in 40 years. it was a catastrophic election for the democrats mainly because they tried to move healthcare around that blew up on them. in 2010, a response to obamacare. 63 seats the democrats lost. the republicans have been fearing this. they said if we can't make good

. >>> congressman steny hoyer. sean spicer says president trump is extremely confident that the doj has it, the evidence he was wiret wiretapped. do they? >> president trump is so extremely confident that he has so many things that he knows that aren't true. so i think it's very difficult to believe sean spicer. if they had proof, it seems to me they would have disclosed it to the congress, but more importantly to the american people and president trump would have been happy to do that. the fact is i think his representation was untrue. it's an alternative fact. it's either made um in his own head and there's no evidence to corroborate that. so he may be extremely confident, but we've seen him day after day after day be very confident that things were as they are not. he makings it up as he goes along. >> so when they said they needed -- they asked for that delay, of course as you're well aware. they want a delay from yesterday for another week which they were granted by the house intelligence committee chairman. d

that's what steny hoyer said last hour. why don't you have a democratic process and get together. >> steny is stealing that stuff i wrote for him. i was a democrat until '88. >> well, then that would sort of make sense. do you think this is a failure for the white house ep if there is no vote today or it goes down and they can't get this health care bill through? >> i don't think it's a failure for the white house because, quite frankly, this is legislation which, if we're going to be honest about it, was started here in the house of representatives. it's mother and father, if you will, is here in the house. obviously, the white house wants to be involved in health care and fulfill some promises on that, but this work product, wherever it ends up, is the creation of the house of representatives. i don't think the senate is claiming it right now. it's like, listen, it's our issue. if it isn't good news today, then, you know what, you got to go back and figure out how to make the car run. open up the mechanic garage and let's

a lot of them are saying, steny hoyer said last night, we're just sitting back and watching this play out. should they sit back, eat popcorn, watch their twitter feeds? or should there be more here that democrats are doing to leverage their advantage as much as they can? >> well, right now the democrats, when you're talking about the house, there's no more of a powerless position in washington, dc than to be in the minority in the house. at least if you're in the might not in the senate, you can filibuster. you don't even have that. there's not that much the democrats can do in the house except to continue to point out basic facts. here is a basic fact. planned parenthood remains one of the most popular organizations, one of the most beloved organizations in the united states, despite this relentless media offensive against them by conservatives. the majority of republicans actually, when you poll them, have good feelings about planned parenthood. so you need to stick up for planned parenthood. you need to stick up for the fact that some of the things that the republicans are now afra
