congressman dan donovan talked about it. i.c.e. raids in staten island.hey are doing quite a bit everyday in directives, in the executive ordered changing the way enforcement happens in this that country. on the ground among the folks i'm reporting with, immigration lawyers, their clients, there is a real change that's happening and it is changing the contours of how families, american citizens, travelers abroad, serve thinking about what it means to come to and live in this country and it's going to be interesting to see how that plays with whatever kind of peace offering he may or may not offer on the legislative side. >> absolutely right and it helps to make up the backdrop for tonight's speech. chris hayes is part of our team tonight as well as we've seen select members of the. >> i want to note three things we'll hear that i haven't heard mentioned -- defense spending which is infrastructure spending when it comes to building ships. i think he may call for supplemental but definitely a rebuilding of the hollowed-out military. i think he's going to ca

(laughs) that was my movantik moment. my doctor told me that movantik is specifically designed for oic and can help you go more often. don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. mov

dan donovan here in new york city, moderate republicans who if given the choice -- ashley: republicanvery split right now. >> very fractured. ashley: between conservatives and moderates. speaking to richard just said, no matter what you talk about, this is not issue between republicans and democrats but republicans themselves. >> can i make a quick point? >> yeah. >> moderates are important. they are the ones who get the republicans majority. all the freedom caucus members are ruby red districts who matter who represents them. it is not a sure thing that all these moderates will be representing, are going to be representing districts that reelect them if they vote basically to strip health care from tens of thousands of their constituents. to a one, whether charlie dent or dan donovan, go down the list they know how many tens of thousands of people get he medicaid and lose it if this bill became law. that is why i think the freedom caucus is being a little overreaching. ryan knows why he is speaker. because of the charlie dents, not because of mark meadows. ashley: ron, how would you

standing by is dan donovan, a republican congressman from new york.had just announced yesterday that he would be a no vote on this. that announcement probably played no small role in the announcement by republican leaders now that the vote is being postponed tonight. congressman, first, what are you hearing from republican leaders? have they told you anything about when they do plan to hold the vote? >> not yet, steve. but we have a conference at 7:00 tonight, where i suspect we'll be told that. then we have votes at 8:00 which are probably procedural votes that you have to go through before you can get to get on the actual bill. >> you were publicly a no vote before this public announcement. what direction, what approach, where would you like to see paul ryan and republican leaders go in light of this announcement this afternoon? >> steve, the president and the leader -- the speaker have to look through this through a different set of lenses than i do. they are looking at 330 million people across america. my responsibility is to the 740,000 people t

rejoining me, ron christie, former senator scott brown, we had breaking news, representative dan donovanstaten island saying that changes offer by architects of plan last night do not go far enough to help new yorkers. i found that interesting we got a sweetener in there chris collins, upstate new york worth $2 .3 billion, state of new york will pick this up. senator brown, are we going to see this kind of horse trading to make it happen? are these going to have to happen? >> oh, i'm shocked that they are doing horse trading. i mean really? i have always been -- >> we did hear a lot of criticism though about the corn husker kickback and things like that. >> mm-hmm. >> the criticism is they rammed it through reconciliation. buineality, you have the federal governme using unfunded mandates on to the state, and state passing to that counties. i congratulate those congressmen and women, fighting for their districts and throwing it back to the state, this is all went legislative sauce a sausage makes process, good for them. charles: some people were not happy with the way you voted senator br

congressman dan donovan from new york sits on the house homeland committee. to have you. >> good to be here. >> what do you prefer, the trump we saw last night or the trump we heard at the inauguration? >> i think what he did last night was asked the american public to come together. but he also asked congress to come together. i think the tone last night really set what he wants to put forth in making america move forward again. he talked about our infrastructure is crumbling, how he wants to rebuild that. he told every american family, your child is important to me, when he said that the civil rights issue of our time is children's education. >> just to put a fine point on it, if you could send a message to the white house, do you want to see more of what we saw last night and less of the inauguration type speech? >> this was such an important speech because he was speaking to the american public for the very first time in joint session. i think this is the tone we'll see going forward. the president is who he is. there's no doubt that this man loves americ

but you got 22 members of the house from districts hillary clinton won then you have people like dan donovano's from a district that donald trump won, he won staten island in new york but this is him talking about what's happening in terms of how he's thinking about the bill "there are portions of it i have great concerns with" donovan said. calls to his office are running 1000 to one against the republican plan, though donovan said he couldn't be sure all the calls are from his district. the so-called moderates, they've been getting less attention but the possibility of a lot of defections there as well. >> without a doubt and i think the branding by the opponents of this bill has been effective. it hasn't had the president's name connected to it very closely. you have jenny beth martin referring to it as ryancare, a riff on the term rinocare. on the right and particularly from reporters at breitbart, the way they craft their headlines the messaging is this bill is paul ryan's problem, not donald trump's problem for so for these trump supporters it's not necessarily seen as something that w

. >>> i just spoke with republican congressman dan donovan. new york lawmaker about the concerns regarding this latest russian investigation news. >> we have to allow the fbi to do their investigation. we also have two oversight committees, one in the senate, one in the house, that are investigating into the russians' contact with the campaign and the administration and their interference in our elections process. so i was a prosecutor for 12 years before i came to congress, kate, so i would allow them to let them do their work. i've heard some reports that the activity didn't seem so unusual. i've heard other reports that say this is of great concern. so i have great trust in the fbi, director comey. i would allow them to do their work before we reach any conclusions. >> congressman, the big issue you're facing on capitol hill is health care. the house speaker just yesterday said, "this is the closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing obamacare." do you agree? are you on board with your leaders? >> you know, kate, i have always said

dan donovan of new york. this does not work for me. not in the best interests of my district. all of these congressman are finally facing the truth. if they go home and their districts approve this, they're out. they know that. >> forget the freedom caucus members. these are people are not relately associated with the freedom caucus saying we're not voting for this bill. that is the problem. >> that is exactly the problem. >> exactly, capri. >> what republicans are faces member freedom caucus did not sign up for obamacare light so to speak. moderate members are concerned. all politics is local. implications of current proposed bill could have widespread challenges for older adults, for low income individuals. and they certainly don't want to own that failure. so, i think it will be a really, tough sell to bring these two together. i do agree that, you know, it is best for democrats and republicans alike, i'm one to believe we need to come together, not just be naysayers. if horse is leaving the barn so to speak, democrats need to be at table to make it as good of a product it

one republican who will not support the bill is dan donovan from staten island.ing with us. >> hau fthank you for having me. >> why are you opposed? >> the president and speaker ryan look to see if it helps 330 million across america. i have to look at it through the lenses does it help the 725,000, 740,000 people that i represent in brooklyn and staten island. the people of new york are not going to be able to use the health care tax credits because of the rules in new york that insurance companies must cover adorations and the law prohibits the tax credits to be used for policies that cover abortions. we're not going to be, we're going to be burdened with more taxes to pay for the subsidies, the medicaid payments that the upstate counties have been relieved from. i have a senior population, a great senior population that the insurance companies can charge three times as much as a healthy person. and my four biggest employers are my hospital systems, two in brooklyn, two in staten islands, all four concerned about their ability to cover people with health care a

>>> one of the congressmen who planned to vote no joins me now, new york republican congressman dan donovan. congressman, thanks so much for being here. good to see you. >> good to be here, jake, thank you. >> all the republican members are supposed to meet tonight at 7:30. what do you anticipate leadership will say to you? >> i don't know, jake. we're waiting to hear from them. we've been working hard for months, weeks, particularly the last couple of days to round up enough votes to get the bill passed. they've made some modifications that were asked for by members of congress. i have to tell you, jake, throughout this whole process i was at the white house on tuesday with the president and through paul ryan's leadership, and i haven't been here through other administrations. but i can tell you that it's been an open process. the president the other day did more listening than speaking. he asked each one of us what our concerns were with the current version of the bill. and paul ryan has given somebody like myself with 22 months experience the same voice as somebody with 35 years. so, it'

dan donovan republican from new york city thank you for joining me. from thank you for having hee. >> would you vote for this plan as it is currently written? >> we're still examining it. i have met with scores of my constituents to see how the plan is going to affect them. this monday i'm meeting with hospital administrators and doctors to see how this plan affects them. some great things in there, not allowing insurance companies to discriminate against women and charge them higher premiums than men is a good thing. allowing children to stay on their parents health care plans until they're 26 because they start their careers later is a good thing. not allowing insurance companies to discriminate against people with preexisting conditions is a good thing. i'm concerned about our seniors, allowing insurance companies to charge them five times as much as a younger person rather than what the current law allows three times as much. it is a great concern of mine and the medicaid expansion i live in a state, new york state took advantage of the medicaid e

just a little earlier this morning i did get a chance to speak to congressman dan donovan.nts staten island and brooklyn. take a listen. >> should devin nunes recuse himself? >> you know, i think that's a personal issue which the chairman and the speaker. the speaker has said there's no reason for the chairman to step down. i was a prosecutor, chris, for 20 years. there was times when i had to step down and recuse myself because of a conflict of interest. those are personal decisions. >> so do you think it's a conflict of interest that someone who worked on the transition, who went to the white house to get information that he won't share with other members of his committee, does that represent to u id of itself a conflict of interest? >> i don't know. certainly the speaker and the chairman know more than i do, but i do know because i'm on homeland security a lot of this confidential information we can't read or talk about in public. we go down into scifs to do that. my understanding is that chairman nunes went to a scif in the white house to review some documents that were

joining us to discuss, republican congressman from the state of new york, dan donovan.ou were one of president trump's earliest supporters. yet last week you told a local news outlet you were still undecided on how you would vote on this bill. where do you stand today? because, as the first big campaign promise that the president would like to move on, he needs your support. >> well, i am very glad to see that they're talking about a compromise. there are good things in the bill. i think we should protect young people until they're 26 to allow them to stay on their parents' health care plan. i think, not discriminating against women and not charging women higher premiums than men are charged is a good thing. taking care of people with preexisting conditions is a good thing. i have concerns about how this will help families that we're trying to help. all along, stephanie, i said the goal should be to help the people that the affordable care act has harmed while, at the same time, not harming the people that it helped. i want to see if we're helping those people who are p

. >> desjardins: but it's close-- freshman dan donovan is still thinking. >> i'm not saying yet. >> desjardins: it's close enough that g.o.p. leaders are looking for votes from small groups, like members from upstate new york. last night, republicans added a provision saying billions in county medicaid costs must be picked up by new york state. representative chris collins pushed the idea. >> it shifts the burden from the local tax payer back to the state government is how its handled in every other state in the nation. >> desjardins: but new york democrat joe crowley balked: >> this will significantly hurt individuals in new york who could face a multi billion dollar medicaid short fall if amendment included. >> desjardins: another key new york democrat, senate minority democratic leader chuck schumer, railed against the bill and aimed squarely down pennsylvania avenue. >> president trump who has tried to put his name on nearly everything in his career-- ties, steaks, water-- doesn't want his name on this bill. well the president himself is here on the hill today to sell the bill to house rep

to talk about that is republican congressman dan donovan of new york who sits on foreign affairs, homeland security contest and standing by our camera patiently waiting for sean spicer to end that briefing and for us to get to him. congressman, big question, where do you stand? >> i have announced to the public, i've announced to leadership yesterday that i'm going to be a no vote. the president and and the speaker have to look at this bill through a different lens than i do. they have 330 million people they're responsible for. i'm responsible for 740,000 people that live in brooklyn and staten island. in my view this does not help them from the relief of the affordable care act. i'm not a proponent of the affordable care act. it hurt many families. but those families won't see relief from the proposal as it stands now and so many other people will be harmed by it, particularly our seniors and hospitals. >> congressmen, what do your constituents want to see? >> they to wantee relief from the high premiums. i've met a family that pay $20,000 in premiums, $6,000 deductible for family of fou
