12:42 pm
this just in across the wire, house republicans short of the 216 votes needed withdraw president trump's healthcare bill. it was meant to replace the affordable care act. i want to bring in brian sobel, joining us on the phone. i always wondered why are they going to vote for this? the white house knew they didn't have the votes this
12:43 pm
morning. here they are, i guess they are not going to vote on it.>> this was the problem. when you don't have the votes you don't have the votes. to press ahead to prove a point doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and the house leadership and house republicans said it doesn't really matter what the president said, we are not voting on this.>> what happens next? is there arm twisting?>> yes. they have got to go back, start talking now, there's a number of members of the house on the republican side who just want convicts to -- convinced and they -- weren't convinced, and they need to add to the bill or take something away or this thing will languish for a while. >> a few hours ago i saw paul ryan at the white house talking with president trump, giving him an update on the debate that was going on there on the
12:44 pm
bill. do you think he convinced trump to pull back and say we are not going to vote on this? what was that conversation? >> they had to have discussed at that. of course the president was over the top of his skis, i think, by saying i want a vote up or down and if it doesn't work, then we are going to leave the current plan in place. for those people who are in the house who want to make a change, and update or reform the package, that wasn't an acceptable answer. it wasn't ready for prime time. >> in the grand scheme of things, is this a wrinkle causes a major blunder?>> no, this kind of arm wrestling goes on and has for a couple of hundred years. i think it was just intensified because of the import of the bill in terms of the new
12:45 pm
administration. if this it happened two years from now, it would be important, but we would have a better idea of how republicans tend to vote for the president. bear in mind, and i've said this often, the president has problems with his own party. that's the issue. they are not in lockstep with president trump. he has got to figure out where his votes are.>> i got another negative information across the wires. it says paul ryan withdrew the legislation after president trump called him and asked him to halt debate without a vote. that's according to ryan's spokeswoman. we were with you throughout the campaign up until election night when it was clear that president trump would become the president. did you think that the affordable care act would still be in place on this date, march 24? or did you think it would be gone by now? just sitting there, they have congress, they have the white house.>> the answer is that i
12:46 pm
have always believed that both the democrats and republicans are not monolithic. they all have to go back to their districts, they all have various forms of constituency, people who want certain things. so i have never believed that just because trump was elected president and he happens to be a republican that he would have the whole republican party behind them. you and i and garcia and everybody have been talking about in any respect how donald trump is more a populace than a republican or democrat. he isn't going to have all these people in lockstep. >> it was such a hot topic not just for trump but for all the republicans. this is what their number one goal was, to replace the affordable care act. you just think that, okay, then everyone would just get together. it just showed that it's politics, i guess.>> it shows to me that the system works. it isn't automatic. nothing is automatic.
12:47 pm
those not ready for some of these people to go home to their constituencies and be able to support it, they are not voting for it and it doesn't matter whether they get a call from the president. >> of course this means continued uncertainty for the people in california and across the country who either love or hate or depend on or don't care at all about the affordable care act and its future.>> i think the way to view it is the affordable healthcare act as we know it, the program is in place. i think republicans have said over and over there will not be a repeal without a replacement. so we will have to see where it goes. >> and we will, with your help. thank you so much. >> you're very welcome. from politics we take you outside for a check of the weather. hey, rosemary. >> no escaping it, wet for some and very windy for some. we do

that house speaker paul ryan is expected to speak at one:00 in a little more than five minutes. we will bring that live when that happens. the big question, i heard you guys speaking with her political commentator, brian sobel, what will happen next? it does appear that obama care or the abortive will care act -- affordable care act will continue in the foreseeable future. we will wait and see. >> again we will be waiting to hear from speaker ryan. i turned to twitter as we have been throughout the presidential campaign. here's a tweet from a national political reporter from the washington post who said, i don't blame paul. trump tells me.
12:56 pm
the first words were from trump. apparently donald trump is not blaming paul ryan that moving on is the question because republicans have made this a very central issue of his campaign for several years before trump was announcing he was trying to be president.>> i want to bring back brian sobel. is there something to say about party loyalty, party unity, that they didn't make this vote to show that, that they are unified? if they did vote, obviously we wouldn't see unity there.>> had they voted, it would've been very, very close, mike, and the democrats would have voted in lockstep against it, and it would've required republicans to vote in lockstep for it. the number difference would've been three, four, or five votes. i like the original fama care
12:57 pm
vote. it was close -- obama care vote. it was close when that was taken. not all republicans are thinking alike. this is a message to the president that he has to do some more work to corral republicans. that really is important. as he moves forward with his other items on his master agenda. >> even if the president says he will move on, doesn't sound like he is going to abandon the issue. not moving on in that sense. >> i don't think so. i think he will, we will hear what the speaker says in about three minutes, but it is probable that he pulled it so that there wasn't a no vote. they will continue tweaking. it's being reported he may reach out to democrats. anything is possible, but we just don't know that yet. it's too early, it will be interesting to hear what the speaker says. for now, the bill is dead.
12:58 pm
>> would it have been better for president trump to maybe start with something like infrastructure, where if you had republicans and democrats and that it would be a win for not only the president but for everyone there on capitol hill as well, instead of going right towards the affordable care act, build momentum, i guess.>> yes, you're right, mike. hindsight is 20/20. i think he was trying to seize momentum, get out in front like the executive order on immigration, got out there way before he had really solidified how the program is going to work. what you're seeing here really is what i would call the education of the president. the education of a new president. that is things that you want to do are not necessarily available to you because you want them. you have to work it.>> political spin is nothing new. if as president, how would you spend this if you are president
12:59 pm
sobel? whose fault is this?>> well, i don't know that i would want to be that guy, but i think the way he is going to spin it is we have more tweaking to do, we have other items on the agenda, including tax reform, infrastructure, improvement, and some other things, we are going to push them together. there isn't a great spin for this. this is one where they're going to walk around with a black eye. there is just no two ways about it. >> reporting from a new york times reporter who just tweeted in the couple of minutes previous, trump tells me and interviews it's not the democrats fault, he anticipate when obama explodes, they will be ready to deal. that is a tiny bit of insight as we are waiting to hear. >> well, yes, i think the rhetoric around this will be
1:00 pm
fairly heightened but at the end of the day, he could not get some number, we don't know yet, some number of republicans, whether they are in the freda caucus, the conservatives, part of the party to vote for this. and he wasn't this persuasive as he needed to be.>> we are monitoring president trump's twitter. he obviously likes to tweet a lot, he has been tweeting the day, but he is not tweeted anything about this breaking news just yet. there was a rollcall this morning, the house used it basically near party lines, 230- 194 to the changes that they hoped would win over the unhappy republicans. they were working hard this morning. this included medicaid benefits for older disabled people. also the requirements
