Republicans' pledge to America to repeal this law repealing this harmful law in its sincerity.
We will repeal obamacare.
I've scheduled a vote for total repeal of the Obama care bill.
Well today's healthcare ruling that a lot of Republicans feeling sick up for a fight.
Our leader cancer -- -- ready promising that repeal vote as he said in the house because that.
And the democratic -- it's likely gonna go nowhere democratic Illinois congressman -- -- Eric Gutierrez is recommending his Republican colleagues.
Take the -- -- -- -- move on but they're not congressman they're gonna do this vote.
It's gonna go nowhere in the senate.
They're not letting sleeping dogs lie or whatever that its president some of what do you make of -- Something like that well look we just heard -- speaker.
-- gonna repeal vote bank.
I mean from my you suggested earlier that there were some popular parts that people understand -- grassland and support repeal don't think -- gonna repealed.
People getting leaving their kids on their insurance policy to the 26 pre existing conditions.
I don't know that you even from that point of view it seems just a little bit over the top look they lost.
They had an opportunity you and I both know this will never get through the senate the supreme court -- spoken they put a lot of money a lot of attention they -- it was unconstitutional.
And the court ruled otherwise you know something.
I don't like a latter rulings of the court I can remember a third one -- gore bush.
But you know what I always call them my president and accepted that decision I would hope they would do the same here today.
Hardly united -- is Osama -- adults about the sort of thing but -- with a one -- along with the Congressional Black Caucus and others walk and -- -- house today on this.
Consent vote against Eric -- -- seem to be and I love you dearly.
Obviously -- to pick and choose your battles here and that and then you sound a little hypocritical.
Well look I was on the Judiciary Committee -- when we demanded.
Documents from the Bush Administration.
After we -- passed the resolution in the Judiciary Committee.
Over 200.
Days passed.
Before we ever considered taking and in the end it was resolved so.
You know I don't remember any rob I guess he's looking -- -- congress during all of the so we believe we -- not saying he's not thanks but I'm saying when you don't get your way you don't like this vote.
You -- walk out of the chamber.
-- but we -- we didn't we didn't we didn't went 2009 the Republicans walked out of favor.
So it isn't as though people haven't been it was a symbolic action I think there was.
Since there isn't doing this today and what was the arm -- -- -- about -- trying to make some sort about.
Martin Luther King's statement because of -- work there.
-- I was little I would that I -- I did I but look I can speak for myself I took an action with my -- semi Democratic Caucus in support.
Jobs jobs and jobs if you don't believe -- of the political ploy -- that.
Then you -- -- -- I -- -- IC let's say I -- face value that I got so bad that you did that.
Republicans say they feel -- -- about what they're doing on the healthcare thing by repealing -- and a vote that will probably don't know where you that's their deal all all by that.
But Simeon might take away congress and on this is nothing nothing scratched gets done.
Right through the election.
We're not in charge where the majority party we don't that the schedule we don't -- you don't have the money we don't -- in the senate I think that this might be a Fox News ordeal but.
They don't exactly -- on fire in the -- -- -- Should -- them.
That was good -- did you ready to me.
With some -- with -- there but -- that they look.
We want the focus on jobs and improving the economy.
I think the health care debate has been -- vigorous debate when we're in the majority we passed that we paid a political price for passing yet but it was something that we believe did.
And you know what.
That's what elections that -- it's going to be decided the election.
But I think.
Never before in the history of the United States not Republicans or Democrats has a cabinet member held.
In criminal -- has never happened before I think it's a little over the top.
Now there's it was a first right.
But congress -- I guess we're having it's always great having you thank you.
