they're trying to blame paul ryan ryan. it's an interesting conversation about who's to blame for no signature achievement. >> the previously scheduled republicans is a war we've all been covering is still under way. i think there was -- i would not have been surprised if actually it did go away. it's easy to be friend when you're winning and easy to be at each other throats when you're losing. trump has not managed to heal or even paper over those divisions and, you know, he's got consolidated republican control in both houses of congress and he can't get anything even through the house where you don't need a super majority. i thought that statistic that you played at the top of the show of people 50% -- people's belief that he can get the obamacare repeal going from 50% to 20 ps w%. that's not a small change. that's a lack -- that's a real erosion in people's faith in his ability to get things done at all. and that seems like a big deal. >> the danger is he becomes the status quo. the outsider candidate who disrupted the

paul ryan is taking questions. let's listen in. what this idea represents is seeking how do we lower premiums. how do we lower premiums and continue the protections for people with preexisting conditions. this idea does that. this is one of those ideas that narrows differences and brings people closer to consensus. there are other ideas we are working on and talking about trying to build consensus on to do just that. lower premiums even further. give states more flexibility to address unique needs and still protecting. [ inaudible question ] >> i will never start believing in charts. i'm a big blooifr in project management. we have in our timeline a lot of flex bltd built into it. you know why. we had to work with the united states senate. they move slowly on any given weekday month year than the house does. we have plenty of cushion built into plans and well within the spectrum of timeline we envisioned dealing with the obamacare legislation.

let's talk about paul ryan now.in talking about health care, everyone's kind of . >>> trying to get signals from the house speaker on where they are. do they have agreements? do they have the votes? as much as he would give us was we're not -- we've not yet made a decision on a vote on health care. >> i think that's paul ryan being very smart and acknowledging that they may not have the votes. they cannot afford -- the republican party, paul ryan, republican leadership cannot afford more egg on their face when it comes to this haelgealt care attempted. they looked terrible the first time. only thing that would make them look more terrible is if they failed a second time. we don't know if they have the votes. not all the tuesday groups, the moderate republicans are in favor and not all the freedom caucus votes are in favor. my congresswoman from south florida told me recently she votes no the second time. she thinks this is worst than the first one because of the pre-existing condition. if they're going to try a seco

paul ryan about to speak and waiting to see what he says. paul ryan is a guy that likes tax cuts. let's establish that first and foremost, however, he's the guy that will have to get the biggest tax cut in the history of mankind through the house of raptives. what what's the challenge? wait, let's hear from him. >> good morning. since president trump took office this congress has sent 29 bills to his desk. that is the most for a president's first hundred days in office since 1949. nearly half of these measures are measures to take excessive regulations off the book so we can grow this economy. after years of workers and industries bracing for the next regulatory onslaught, all of the unpredictability that has been coming with that, we are providing relief for energy jobs, for small businesses and retirees. it has been an estimated that the steps we have taken with this administration will save families and businesses more than $67 billion. that is real relief and that promotes real economic growth. we've been trying to cut red tape for years and now it's finally happening at recor

tomorrow with their own tax reform plan, opposed or not necessarily opposed to but in addition to what paul ryani don't think that have is a lot of love lost? >> i think that problem is that paul had a failed strategy on the health care bill. he negotiated with the moderates, and left the conservatives out of the room. that meant that bill failed. right before break. it has been put back on track. we wrote a memo to everyone saying, moderates and conservatives get in a room together, work out your differences, come up with an amendment to fix the plays and the ryan bill. they have done that conservatives are coming on board. i think that moderates will as well. david: mm-hmm. >> that will let him get back on track to get this out of the hughes. david: yeah, capri. one of the other things, other criticism of ball paul ryan, beam believing he felt he could get democratting on board is was clear that democrats were operating as a solid block against anything that trump administration was afilliated with. >> i think that is a poor calculus, as senate minority lead near ohio for a number of years, i

paul ryan debated just as much when he gave that a month ago. we're still waiting on the details and usually the devil is in the details. while we are waiting for that, right now, it looks like the end of the year will be more likely, initially. they want it to get done by august. kevin brady really wants -- he said basically, we want it in august but it doesn't really matter. as long as it has 2017 it doesn't matter and paul ryan said as much. we are waiting for details on that but it depends on what happens with the health care situation. host: al weaver will be following all of this for the washington examiner, available on the website washington examiner.com. thanks for being with us. guest: thanks for having me. host: let's turn back to your tweets. this is from carol wells who says "100 days of lies, corruption and basing the office . couldn't have expected anything else." from thomas "the first 100 days is not a fair measure. it is not around because of severe partisanship." tweet us at c-span wj or share your comments online. from the u.

it was mostly given to paul ryan.ou: that's what half of the conference is doing instead of saying paul ryan, grow up, be a leader or get the hell out of the way. >> the trump populist conservative agenda is what's popular in the country. it's not libertarian. libertarianism did not win the election on november 8. that's not what won. that's not to cast aspersions on libertarians. but they had their people and they didn't win. repeal and replace, the border wall. you have got to stay true to what your principles are and i hope there are some real progress tonight. but i have concerns on what i'm hearing so far. lou: they have a man in the white house who showed them how to win. now they have to listen to him. be sure to vote in our follow tonight. should the f.b.i. open a criminal investigation against the former nsa you and rice? like me on lou dobbs, follow me on instagram@"lou dobbs tonight." volume on the big bored 3.2 billion shares and the trade deficit dropping 10% in the month of february. guess what, fewer im

instead you have got steve cone on one arc, paul ryan on another.the rest of the white house trying to preserve the campaign agenda of president trump. something has to give here. steve: what gives are these special elections. lou: there are four seats and one decided. steve: if they go like they did in kansas, that's a shot across the bow. on the house side they will say we shouldn't do anything baits will upset people. i think the president will take that as a message, i have got to deliver something big and we have to do it now. lou: the president is the only one whose seat is assured in 2018. paul ryan, what he's doing to the conference right now, he's not creating consensus around the president's agenda. he's actively fighting it. doing so in public view, and it's a remarkable historical moment because this man is talking about this quote-unquote better way agenda while the president is trying to push through his. and is being assisted by garly cone, for crying out loud. they are back to square one on tax reform. they don't know what the hell t

and paul ryan received 230,000. n is talking about an agenda that he was elected on. >> sean: he also -- he says the president is a racist. he would be seen with him during the election, he says to me that he supports his agenda but you know something, lou? the people in this country, it shocked the world by voting for donald trump, do you really want to change direction? i think the president has checked off every agenda item he can, that he can do on his own. these guys have wanted this power. 2010, give us the house. 2014. give us the house and the senat senate. 2016 they got the white house. still, it's almost like impotence. they are incapable of getting this over the finish line. the president can't do this on his own. we have three branches of government here.. >> you are right, but he has immense power. he could do much. what he is already doing with executive orders, there was a time when i would've said to rein in the presidency. let's be very clear here. he is a hired man of the chamber of commerce. he is

>> it's always been paul ryan's agenda, if you look at the ryan budget of the last couple of congresses, you will see that the agenda -- >> when did donald trump sign on to that? >> i think when he decided to become the nominee of the party. he -- bought into the deconstruction of government, the radical right wing agenda. i don't even know if donald trump will go as far as the republicans in congress. people say, well, how long will it take for the republicans in congress to say enough, donald trump. i said, don't wait for that. because their agenda is very similar to his. if you look at their budget over the last few years, if you look at their opposition to anything to do with the environment, to climate change, and the rest. if you look at their anti woman agenda, lgbt agenda, you name it, they have been there sooner, longer and in some cases worse. now that he's president and they have the power of the signature, then we have to look at what both the motivation of both of them. you see what the affordable health care, president has said, i didn't really want to do that first. >> ri

casey we'll start with you as we wait to hear from the house speaker, paul ryan. a lot on his plate with congress returning, tax, health care, the russia investigation and the short term spending bill they need to pass within the next 72 hours to avoid a shutdown this week. where do things stand right now on the hill. >> reporter: hi, peter. forgive me if i have to sit down abruptly. we've expecting the speaker behind me any moment. there's a long list of questions here they're grappling with. the spending bill is one that has gotten a little bit basically worked out as republicans have essentially taken the wall off of the table, although they have added to the border security money. democrats are not objecting to spending, extra spending on border security. they sort of drew the line in the sand with that wall on the mexican border. so at this point we're hearing from republicans and democrats that things are on track for them to reach an agreement. they have handful of things to work out, health benefits. we're going to hear from the senators from west virginia

breaking news -- paul ryan is giving a news conference today, speaking about health care. they will introduce an amendment to the health care act and the committee will meet to day to bring them closer to the goal of repealing obama care and replacing with something better. called thent will be palmer-schweikert amendment and is a high risk pool environment creating a new risksharing fund for seriously ill. let's get back to that news conference. i actually think the divide is narrowing quite quickly. what this idea represents is a goal that everyone from the freedom caucus to every other group that is represented here we lowerg -- how do premiums, how do we lower premiums and continue the protections for people with pre-existing conditions. iss idea does that so this one of those ideas that narrows differences and brings people closer to consensus. there are other ideas we still working on and talking about, trying to build consensus on, to continue to do just that, lower premiums further, give states more flexibility so they can address the needs of their insurance marke

. >> what paul ryan was talking about. >> exact. paul ryan is concerned. unless they can do that, then trump will pivot and work with the democrats. i don't see the democrats are going to be particularly enthusiastic. but health care sets the table for tax cuts, for tax reform. if you don't get health care, if you don't get tax reform it's hard for me to think the republicans are going to. brace infrastructure. thenu in the first year the new president will have no major accomplishments. >> other than executive orders. >> which is why i don't understand why he didn't go after infrastructure right away. dare democrats to walk away from infrastructure reform. >> in detroit you have a better than average airport. we new yorkers really need infrastructure. ron, if you were in your old job writing the lead off for "associated press," the one used on the web and by morning papers what would your suggested headline to your editors be? >> tonight? >> yes? >> a presidency on the brink. >> on that, i also have a point of personal privilege. we talked this week about

paul ryan is overseas doing what, i don't know.s foreign policy, he will be first speaker with a foreign policy, he is defeating the president's agenda. not being able to move through the repeal and replacement of obamacare. i talked with rona mcdaniel about this earlier, here is the speaker declaring that there will be no funding for the wall. and you know that his tax reform plan differs from that of the president. what is the republican party going to grab the speaker by the neck, and say, behave? >> well, i think the caucus will start to take control, right now, speaker has been like a running back who keeps fumbling the ball, we can't get any momentum. whether it deals with health care legislation or with the stopping funding shortfall. lou: he is deterring himself in this, he makes it clear he opposes the president. and people are walking around like sort of like, they hushing one another for fear the speaker will hear they say that the man is out of control and has not got a clue of what he is doing, he has been speaker for

instead you have got steve cone on one arc, paul ryan on another.the rest of the white house trying to preserve the campaign agenda of president trump. something has to give here. steve: what gives are these special elections. lou: there are four seats and one decided. steve: if they go like they did in kansas, that's a shot across the bow. on the house side they will say we shouldn't do anything baits will upset people. i think the president will take that as a message, i have got to deliver something big and we have to do it now. lou: the president is the only one whose seat is assured in 2018. paul ryan, what he's doing to the conference right now, he's not creating consensus around the president's agenda. he's actively fighting it. doing so in public view, and it's a remarkable historical moment because this man is talking about this quote-unquote better way agenda while the president is trying to push through his. and is being assisted by garly cone, for crying out loud. they are back to square one on tax reform. they don't know what the hell t

paul ryan is a policy expert, no he is not. he understands theory. in the real world, what needs to happen is that businesses have the confidence to invest and create jobs and that will only happen if you have that human impact. >> jeanine: what about the idea that the economy is good, those animal instincts that go out, they buy, they start up a business, they think donald trump is in charge of it, he knows what he's doing. >> harris: you brought this up. in the real world, where is the messaging? it >> meghan: that's what i was about to say as it is absolutely vital and critical that they don't scrub this rollout like they did. i'm not kidding. i'm not impressed. have president trump do it, have you do it. it's important that people don't get confused. it's a very dense topic, tax reform in general, and this should have been right out of the gate. he can't afford to have another legislative failure, you just can't going forward. >> harris: interesting. i want to know your last though thought. >> sandra: i was just told to wrap. >> meghan: it's an i

house speaker paul ryan will speak in london on the relationship between the u.s.at britain. the --trump will invite will greet the new england patriots of the white house and at 3:30 p.m., the president will meet with h.r. mcmaster. turning to european politics, it is down to the wire for the first round of presidential elections in france. in the u.k., lawmakers have voted in favor of prime minister theresa may's call for a national election on june 8. we talked about this earlier. >> we still don't understand what briggs it will mean for the u.k. constant dialogue with the theresa may administration and we asked what are our intentions and our intention is to stay and watch. david: let's bring in the bloomberg executive editor for international politics. we have a chart looking at other cities throughout europe. seeing where the other jobs might be going. while we have government uncertainty, what are banks doing? is what larry fink is describing emblematic of the financial sector? yes, we are getting to a situation where we can see that for some banks, they are

cagey, there are whispers that nunes decided to step aside after speaking with paul ryan, paul ryan didn'tnswer that question when asked. >> it seems like there's something there, many people that felt nunes didn't do anything wrong, he received this information and there for was not transparent and disclosed it. it seems the main objection was the chronology of events in terms of come up with the obligated to notify the other people on the committee first before he went public, that seems to be a matter of protocol versus any kind of improper action on his part. ultimately, this is something we do want to know about us, and he put the interests of the american people ahead of, perhaps, thinking about what need not be beneficial to him personally, and now we are aware of it. schiff has the information and didn't. >> much do you think is the reason to step aside? >> not looking into the fact that he didn't disclose information, that at the time he didn't have authority to disclose. he was used by the white house as it was trying to use the case that he had somehow told the truth when he sai

the paul ryan problem. and president trump will not put up with trade abuses by canada. >> they are not able to sell their dairy products into canada and this is going on for a while. we'll not put up with it. >> lou: full report what is behind the dispute with canada and much more straight ahead. >> lou: the trump administration imposed a tariff on canadian lumber and president trump vowed to take care of the nation's dairy farmer and warning canada that a tariff on our product system is a problem. here's the report. >> reporter: u.s. commerce secretary called it a bad week for u.s./canada relations. he outlined a new tariff on the lumber. it is 24 percent. and costing canada $1 billion. and president trump did not hide that the latest shot was in response to protective pricing by canadian dairy farmers. we'll not stand for this. watch. >> >> canada what they did to our dairy farmer are system a disgrace. >> it was was ultrafiltered milk. and canadian farmers drove the price down and 75 dairieses in wiscon

that is not going to happen. >> it's more than paul ryan did. caucus. >> the republicans control the house, the senate, and the white house, and they couldn't do the inning that they promised for eight years to do. >> yep, that's why it's incumbent upon republicans to lead on this, and here we see really the key differences that we spent an entire eight-year period arguing and, by the way, i've lost track of how many democrats have lost on this issue of trying to preserve obama care. you know, the number of house members, democrats, senators, and governors who have lost is since obama care passed is just astonishing, but on the going forward basis, we have won that argument that obama care needs to be replaced. what we haven't done is we've done the harder -- haven't done the harder work of having a vision of what does health care look like in america in a post obama care world. that's what's going to have to drive. >> can i just point out, republicans had seven years to do that. they came up with nothing, number one. number two, ron mentioned w

paul ryan talked about whistleblowers.cover in fact his sources were probably at the white house. i think what you see here is the devin nunes may have been setd up by the white house in all of this and that he ends up looking bad. he takes the fall. it has hurt him and his credibility tremendously within his own committee and perhaps even with paul ryan. i don't know the answer to that specifically. i know they're very -- they're very good friends, but i do think that the devin nunes handled this badly and if he was used by the white house, it certainly isn't helping him. >> a lot more to come on that. great to see you all. thank you so much. really appreciate it. coming up for us. president trump's big meeting with the president of china. all goes down this weekend at mar-a-lago. will they reach common ground on trade. defense issues and the huge question about north korea. meeting later tonight. details ahead. is to always keep track of your employees.r micromanage them. make sure they're producing. woo! employee of the

it paul ryan does that, it seems like you ignoring what he's heard across america.olling is showing the republican repeal bill is only polling at 17%. it's been rejected by americans across america and internal numbers show the same thing. what we saw last week was not only democrats in the house and senate that were informing the american people what we found out was in the bill, it was something the american people were also identifying was in the bill. how bad it was going to be for everyday americans, for everyone across the country, not making anything better. as a matter of fact, it would have been harmful to states as a whole as well. i'm really surprised that house republicans are trying to revive the repeal effort. it seems that they are making a political calculation versus facing the responsibility of governing and making things better for the american people. sean: the president signaled after that health care debate ended in the house that he was willing to work with democrats, they said we want to work with democrats. is there anything you are willing

paul ryan is trying to bring republicans together with the house of representatives. if he is successful in doing that, he has the challenge, which is senator republicans. they don't see eye-to-eye on that as well. >> speaker ryan ratherling the market yesterday, when he sort of pushed off the day as the time line for tax reform. today, though, mark meadow says it could come by august. what are we hearing here? >> luke, august is an ambitious time line. it's always been an ambitious time line. the trump administration set that out with tear goal. this is a complicated piece of administration, as the trump administration tries to move through the challenge they have is they want to be not a deficit-busting bill. >> that is they can cut taxes dramatically. how do they raise revenue at the same time they're lowering tax rates. one idea is the border adjustment tax. that's not necessarily going to fly in the trump white house. they had about a minute-and-a-half, the idea of the value-added tax or carbon taxes after about a minute-and-a-half, that was shot down as well. so

but, focusing again, will paul ryan be paul ryan one more time and everybody saying, it better not happen. it just better not happen. >> we hope we have the speaker support and all committee chairman, we would love democratic support, john kennedy cut taxes, what happened to that part of the democratic party? we had boll weevil democrats, fiscally conservative democrats, where are they. this party has pulled very far to the left. wowe would love democratic and you are on the. otherwise they go home, their spits wil constituents will benefit anyway, remember president obama said i will be president of all americans even those who did not vote for me. lou: that would have included paul ryan. with republicans controlling the house and senate, it is time for the republican party, not just the president who leads it, but republican party show the voters of this country who put their faith in each one of these congressmen and senators, and this president, that it matters who is running the nation. and they better show respect to this president and follow his lead. >> this is a fair statement, h

will they be voting with paul ryan who wants to eliminate the private care? it's not a question of the person, just as it isn't about the president. it's a question of the policy. so if you want to vote for someone like paul ryan for speaker, and that is a vote to dismantle medicaid, it is a vote to eliminate the guarantee of medicare. medicare is a guarantee. you take away the guarantee, you eliminate medicare as we know it, and to move on to private -- by the way, those views are shared by the president's appointees to his cabinet. >> leader pelosi, i will leave it there, unfortunately. i have more questions but never enough time.

it won't necessarily be the bill that paul ryan wanted. i think lisa has identified one way in which they could begin to do this by default in power back to the states and making certain that everybody is covered, but covering them under the medicaid program largely run by the states. there are solutions out there that might even attract some bipartisan support in the congress. i think they have to get something done on that front. i think they have to get something done on the jobs front, on economic growth. they have to come up with some kind of a tax reform package. again, it may not be the big tax reform that people have talked about. it may be a series of smaller tax changes that they ultimately are able to pass. i think in those two areas they have to perform. have somethingo to keep the government up and operating. they have to pass a budget that keeps the government in place and assures that people are not adversely affected by a government shutdown or a government unable to meet their basic needs. michelle: i think we would all li

i didn't think it would be paul ryan bringing it up the next week. >> paul ryan waltz general web was see how he can have a lot of the confidence he can put it together again. cambridge was right when they said they shouldn't try to do it through the reconciliation process. it ties their hands. they have an opposition party. it's not an opposition party in a democracy anymore. it declared war on the trump administration. here in the midst of a civil war situation. i don't know that paul ryan is fit to be a general in the situation. tom: the democrats have to be happy. they are trying to play it cool. you know they are basically saying here, let me give sow more rope, republicans and you can fight with each other. lee, talk about hampering the agenda, i don't know what's going to happen out of this thing. in the meantime it seems like it has slowed down or tied up a lot of what president obama wants to do. >> there is a lot of conversations people are saying that are not slowing count agenda. every minute we are talking about general flynn or russia, we are not talking about the things

paul ryan, yes donald trump lost ground from february until now, but paul ryan is signal by the measure of your space between your positive and negative rating, his is worse than trump's. >> he had a low bar to be measuring up against if you are donald trump. does donald trump want to do big things or not? if he does, being in a situation where he keeps his block of voters he had on election day, that is not going to allow him to do something large. it's never going to be enough. >> you have so many voters that regret the obama voter that went for trump. unless he does what he should have done, it will be difficult for him to win those voters. you see the giant numbers and it will be great. i don't know how you are going to get that passed. >> this is where the lobbying comes in and trying to persuade members. he is learning on the job. i don't think he was prepared for all of the -- >> that was nervous laughter, by the way. >> all the responsibilities and all of this. it's a work in progress. the thing about tax reform, simpler is best. just cut the corporate tax rate and you will get

news conference with house speaker paul ryan. set to give updates on the health care plan and the negotiations to keep the government running. and i'll get reaction from the pennsylvania congressman. >>> plus, inside the rare white house briefings on north korea that took place in front of the senate. >> i am cautiously optimistic that we are seeing early signs that china is helping and cooperating and reigning in north korea.
