mike: this is not just ryan-care. this could be trump/-care. committees to temperature move this legislation forward. if that continues there won't be amendments. mike: they h years u: we are agreeing. what i would say on this issue. i'm impressed with kevin gratey defending the plan. i'm impressed with the good intention. i'm not pleased to hear speaker ryan talk about his damn bert agenda. with the lecture and the power point presentation is not brilliant. what the president is doing is brilliant. tammy: i would suggest paul ryan knows donald trump's plans will work and he wants to be on the coat tails. lou: i hope you mention a correct weight to his judgment and intellect. mike: i would be more comfortable if president trump were pushing back. let them go marathon sessions and let them mark it up. tammy: if he didn't like it he may say so. he may at some point decide it's not going well. trump is a man who won't play ball with washington and how they normally operate. that makes me feel comfortable. mike: me, too. lou: what do you think abou

mike pence and paul ryan are standing next together clearly the white house and on the hill are on thee page. he said there's no comparison in regards to the e-mails, what do you think? >> i think he was largely correct. hillary clinton was trafficked a lot of information that was classified information, we don't know what kind of security protocalls were in place, she dealt with a whole difficult type of information set than did the governor of indiana. mike pence was governor of indiana at the time. now it's true that some of what was went through mike pence's personal e-mail account did relate to some homeland security updates and the fbi, so that is problematic but i don't think you can look at the two the same way. >> the risk, that's very clear david that the risk that hillary clinton and her team far exceeds the risk when it comes to the type of information going through this e-mail account and in her case a server, but to this point abbey, is part of this problem is perception here that it's not -- that mike pence might not really have a leg to stand on when he's been critical

ryan unlike some people in the trump camp might want to see him fail. let's think 2020, the two biggest republicans in town, vice president mike pence, speaker ryan, if he succeeds and if he's seen as the leader, he could be a threat to president trump. >> all right. talk about the primary. lynn sweet, errol lewis, zachary wolf, thank you all. >>> ukrainian officials convinced russia was behind a shocking murder that happened in broad daylight. the question this morning, was the victim targeted because he criticized the kremlin? we have a live report from moscow for you, next. >>> plus humilitating catastrophe. catching heat from the right wing media. what the criticism means for the administration moving forward. at vicarious visions, i get to be creative, work with awesome people, and we get to make great games.

. >> bret: mike emanuel on the hill. house speaker paul ryan has been selling and defending the republican health care plan. he joins us from janesville, wisconsin, with reaction to the congressional budget office's report. mr. speaker, thanks for being here. reaction on the hill is a little stunned at the number of people who would be uninsured. saying 24 million by 2026 would be uninsured relative to the current law. your reaction on the numbers and what they mean. >> actually if you read the reports, i'm encouraged by it. it exceeded my expectations. tom price and mick mulvaney mentioned the estimates before without more, 25 million people would be on obamacare today. less than half of that are. look at the reason why they said this would happen. we are saying the government is not going to force people devise something they don't want to buy. if we end on obamacare mandate that says you must buy this plan. people aren't going to buy it. of course are going to suggest that if we're not going to make something -- make people do something they

if you say the president, paul ryan, mike pence can't get obamacare reform through, what about other initiatives in the agenda? what about an infrastructure bill? you saw stocks in that category fall. down and down dramatically. and i've got to tell you, too what is the mood ring are in market, that would be goldman sachs. it was down more than 3%. especially as financial stocks faltered. why? because there's concerns, yeah maybe, maybe this tax reform comes up next, but do they have the capability, the ability to pull that off? it's a big open question. ultimately it looks like it was a nothing day in the markets, but the action midday, it was like being whipped around by a yo-yo. so lots of interesting stuff going on here, of course, we'll continue to follow this, liz. liz: gerri, the last time the s&p hit a high was march 1st, the day after the president had that -- addressed the joint session of congress and then the attacks on jeff sessions, came pouring, in you see the stock chart showing the story you just told, gerri. >> reporter: you bet, take a look at the chart. just amazi

and paul ryan or someone comes from the capital, he can challenge them and push back. >> look. with all due respect, you got mike pence who knows the ins and outs of government. you've got paul ryan, who knows better than these guys. are you saying, do you think that going with healthcare first was a mistake? >> let me tell you, when i was a commander of a battalion of 600, i had a sergeant major but guess who made the final decision? it was me as the commander. president trump is the president. he has to make those decisions. it's not up to the vice president or the speaker. he has to convey his guidance and what he sees as the objectives that he wants to get across. that's what i'm trying to talk about. jeanine: let's talk about his relationship with congressional republicans. where do they go from here? >> i think he has to go and sit down with the republicans and once again talk about his vision. he laid it out very wellin that address to the joint session of congress, but for whatever reason he decided later that week to completely change the narrative. he needs to say this is what i see with tax reform. th

. >> it sound like you were telling mike to ask paul ryan about phases two and three. phase two would be regulatory measures that the president and secretary price would be in charge of. when can we expect to see a list of those from the white house. >> i will ask secretary price, i know when he came out to talk with folks about the score, i would be glad to see if we have a timeline and follow-up on you. >> you were saying that you are confident about the 60 votes? >> yes. >> and the final thing on health care as well. yesterday secretary price said he wasn't saying to disrecord the cbo report completely but sounds like the administration is ark guing and you from the podium, you are saying the cbo is consistently wrong and question their credibility. >> no, to be clear cbo is a budget office. that's why they are created and what they do, and i think to look at them in terms of budget numbers is one thing, that's their job and on the aspect of budget impact it talks about how we see a 25% increase in premiums under obamacare and markedly shows under the current m amer

we have seen how speaker paul ryan and mike pence make their way inside.sident trump's speech minutes away and we will have a preview coming up next. >>> we are just minutes away from president trump's first address to congress. a live look at the capital. stay tuned for the full speech and a wrap up immediately following. we talked to new senator harris and her guest. the 28-year-old woman doctorate fellow an immigrant and listening closely to what mr. trump has to say this evening. >>> i know what he has already done which suggests to me that he is unfulfilling all of his rhetoric during the campaign. and that rhetoric that i was troubled about. >>> harris says president trump vilifies immigrants. the senator drafted her bill for immigrants after the president enacted his order on travel for 7 moslem countries. >>> joining us is brian sobel. the president gave himself "a" for his accomplishments and a "c" into other areas. >> whether he should grade everything is a question. c for messaging is probably right on. the bigger picture is a lot to accomplish

take a moment to also thank our hardworking staff, and that includes tom hammond, mike manero, jonathan charlton, ryan faith, molly fromme and chris wilder from the majority staff, thank you. also steve janiskowski, jeannie frans, stewart burns from my congressional staff. and allen lee and pamela whitney from the minority staff. it is because of their countless hours of hard work, mr. speaker, and their negotiation and finding common ground that we will now send this bill from the floor of this house of representatives to the resolute desk of the oval office to be signed into law. i want to thank all. with that, mr. speaker, i urge passage of this bill and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. all time has expired. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass senate bill 442. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the chair, 2/3of being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. the chair, 2/3 for what purpose does the gentlewoman from wyoming see

high ranking officials such as fbi director james comey, and national security director mike rogers will testify. >> ryan nobles, for that very inclusive report, we appreciate it. safe to say the russians may be watching these proceedings closely. our senior international correspondent fred planken joins us from moscow. has the kremlin put out any prebuttle to this hearing? >> reporter: the kremlin is saying they don't think there's going to be anything new. we asked the spokesman for vladimir putin whether they would be watching this hearing. they said no they wouldn't because they have other things to do. but indeed they will be watching to see if anything new comes out. you can really feel the frustration building up among the russians over the past couple of weeks, you can see that very, very closely, that they believe they want this topic to simply go away, they say they have answered all the questions, and there hasn't been any evidence to link them to the u.s. electoral process. they say their country is being demonized. here's what we heard from russian spokesman dmitri peskov. >> we cannot under

last night it seemed like mike pence and paul ryan had been to the same tailor and got a two—for—one and tie. moving on from that, it is going to be difficult. these are problems that every president has faced, not just donald problems that every president has faced, notjust donald trump, that you can come forward with ideas like a$1 you can come forward with ideas like a $1 trillion infrastructure plan, much that it might be needed, but will it be passed with fiscally conservative republicans who want to be paying down the deficit? he talked about paper may —— paid paternity leave. though seem like very democratic things to be advocating. he also called for the democratic party to come into the tent, to embrace the changes he is going to make. is that going to happen? we heard a long wish list last night. turning that injury allergy might be something a little more tricky. —— turning that into reality. with us now is the kansas secretary of state, the former chairman of the kansas republican party, kris kobach. a big supporter of donald trump. did it go down well, where you were sit

setting the stage for comey and mike rogers to testify. ryanobles, cnn, washington. >>> joining me now to talk more about this is larry sabato, the director of the center for politics at the university of virginia. thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you, rosemary. >> so larry, fbi director james comey will testify monday before the house committee on alleged russian involvement in the presidential election. what do you think he's likely to say, and just how far will he go, do you think? >> director comey's normal instinct is to say as little as possible especially at a public hearing. he would be expected to say more privately, although, there have been reports from members of congress that they're very unhappy, because even in the private briefings he doesn't reveal very much. he will be pressed hard. there are members on both sides, but particularly democrats, who are going to insist that he be more forthcoming. >> yeah, you mentioned that. so members of both parties have accused the fbi director of not being forthcoming about the rus

it sounded like you were telling mike to ask paul ryan about face phases two and three. the president and secretary price would be in charge of. when would you see a list of those from the white house? >> i'll ask secretary price. i know he mentioned to folks, th that we'll follow up on that. >> and you said the white house is confident you'll get to 60 votes. is the white house confident about that? >> yes. >> and the final thing is also on healthcare as well. yesterday secretary price say he wasn't saying to disregard the cbo completely. that sounds like what the administration is arguing and what you're arguing as well. you said that the cbo arguments are consistently wrong and you question the credibility. >> no, just to be clear. cbo is a budget office. they look at impacted on the federal budget. that's why they're created and that's what they do. to look at them in terms of their budget numbers is one thing. that's their job. i think on the aspect of budget impact, it talks about how well we see a 25% increase in premiums this year under obamacare and the individu

last night mike pence swore in former montana congressman ryan zenke as secretary of the interior. >>> there are no plans to discipline white house counselor kelly ann conway after she promoted ivan contact trump's fashion line. bipartisan group of lawmakers called on the government ethics office to investigate. white house lawyer say conway 's comments were inadvertent and quote without nefarious motive. lawyers say conway has been briefed on endorsement rules and is unlikely to violate them again. >>> more than 46 million people watched president trump 's address to congress tuesday night by comparison about 53 million turned in for president obama's, first address in 20 on the. numerical you'lled from all 10 networks that aired the president's remarks which received overwhelming support from viewers. in the cws news poll 76 percent of people surveyed approved of the speech. >>> hundreds are expected to gather in philadelphia today to speak out against vandal icing a local jewish cemetery with other recent anti sem met i can incident. jewish federation will join with other religious

>>> plus, vice president mike pence on the road today with paul ryan. they are trying to sell they're repeal and replace plan for the affordable care act. what's really going on with the replace part of that? there are lawmakers on both sides of the aisle accusing republican leaders of crafting a secret plan. and that accusation set up a bizarre series of stunts yesterday as lawmakers literally went in search of the bill. >> i can't find the bill. >> we're assuming it's several hundred pages long. we brought our copy machine in case they would let us copy the bill, but looks like we're not going to be able to copy it. >> repeal and replace is the refrain. when will there be a repeal vote or replace, when a replace plan? we will talk about all of that after this. their experience is coveted. their leadership is instinctive. they're experts in things you haven't heard of - researchers of technologies that one day, you will. some call them the best of the best. some call them veterans. we call them our team. "how to win at business." step one: point decisi

ryan: the president of the united states. [applause] mike mckee, let me ask you about this, the white house insisting people want lose coverage. mike: there has been a subtle linguiic shift. instead of giving coverage, it is access to coverage. if you can afford it, you can have this coverage. as he walks down handshake alley, members of congress, in and sit down in advance right by the edge. i don't see any democrats. democrats said they would avoid shaking his hand, and nobody appears to be immediately recognizable from blue states. the president makes his way down the aisle to the front of the house chamber to deliver his address. kevin, let me ask you about immigration. he is expected to say that the only long-term solution for humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions for people to return home and begin the process of rebuilding. might haveping there been reversal, that line seems to diminish that possibility. kevin: that is something many will be looking for, that particular section of this speech. tomorrow, he has anticipated

reporter: president trump will work with republicans and sent vice president mike pence to start negotiations. house speaker paul ryan is confident it will make it through congress. >> the promise we made to the american people is we are going to repeal and replace obamacare. because we made that promise i'm confident we'll make good on the promise. >> reporter: in the rush to get something done, there are still questions remaining unanswered such as how much the plan will cost and how it will be funded. craig boswell, cbs news, capitol hill. >> the president's budget director says he expects the congressional final numbers on the cost by next month. >>> hawaii is taking on the travel ban. the attorney general filed a lawsuit saying the violate hawaii's state constitution. it's the first challenge to the new travel ban. the lawsuit states that the order results in the establishment of religion in the state of hawaii contrary to its state constitution. it also says that the order would do serious damage to hawaii's economy. >>> back here in the bay area, some victims of the overflowing coyote creek are struggling to r

you had paul ryan going down to the while house today, you have vice president mike pence coming up here to the hill to meet with conservatives trying to rally support at the last minute. when the numbers didn't add up, speaker ryan told that to the president and the president pulled the plug, neil. >> neil: the president is due to make a statement on this from the oval office. we don't know exactly when but later on. i do want a take on this. whatever your politics or views on this, the healthcare law, it cannot sustained itself. the math isn't there. the two parties still have to find a way to fix something that is bleeding money fast. are they anywhere close to that? >> it's worth noting that many times throughout this discussion, this has been the first push of the new congress with a new president. the president has said several times, hey, we can sit back and let it implode and then we can get everybody at the table to fix it. but he's said that he didn't think that was necessarily the right thing to do. he said if we're having trouble getting across the finish line, maybe we wait

called the art of the deal and it is hard for me, and it won't be conservative -- mike pence is conservative, somehow speaker ryan, the best job we can, it is a little far -- gregg: some people in the president's party our opponents of this, some want to move up the rollback of medicaid expansion in 2019, is that doable? what about it? it is a concern, the third district, and some folks, to be in that position, we tried to do a transition call people down, let them know you will have access to insurance, still have that ability, the medicaid expansion under obamacare took it beyond but we got to look at it. are we doing the right thing not just for conservatives but for the american people? that is the most important part. gregg: there are other republicans who want to change the tax credits to deductions so a lot of americans who don't pay taxes don't receive checks the mail and another free entitlement. that is not an reasonable request, is it? >> we need to listen to those voices, here those voices, we have to work hard to get to make sure the product we deliver after all is said and done actually fulfill the

we'll have mike pence and paul ryan sitting behind him showing the republican -- basically unified control in washington but the backdrop is turning out to be an interesting and complex thing. we've got unified republican control in washington, we've also got unprecedented energy in what's emerging as an anti-trump movement, mostly among democrats but i don't know how else you could characterize broadly these huge demonstrations we've seen across the country. we've also never had a president this unpopular, he had to withdraw his army secretary, his labor secretary, this is a senate where his party is in control and they only need 50 votes to confirm anyone. this is an interesting, rich complex time in american politics with this unbelievably controversial new president and he had made any effort as president to keep everybody happy, surprise everybody, be magnanimous. this is the first night we'll see that attempt. >> chris matthews, this is going to be the night he strikes a tone of optimism, rule 1, if you're a politician or an aide to a politician, is to say the politician -- fill in t

and there you see the speaker of the house, paul ryan, vice president mike pence. members of the supreme court. justice anthony kennedy, and melania trump. it's been no honeymoon for the president the first 40 days. and democrats galvanized against him. jon karl is in the hall. the republicans looking for some direction from the president. >> there's no question about that, george. on one hand, they're energized because the republicans for the first time in a long time, have control of the senate, white house, and republicans are in charge, but divided on what to do about obama care, repeal and replace, replace how, on tax reform, budget questions. republicans have a narrow majority in the senate, a slightly larger one in the house. but as a divided party, they can't get it done. they're looking for direction from the president. >> give me a sense of the atmosphere there. >> after the gabby gifford shooting, they started sitting together, across party lines. that seems to be all but dead, but tim kaine, he's seated on the republican side, flanked by republicans. ot

go back in and see ryan? >> mike the camera guy? >> cocktail? >> look at her. see, we need to see jen on a bike, though, need to see her on a bike. i've been told from people, who told me that they did it, like the first 20 minutes, it is like oh, my goodness. it is painful. then you get to this moment and you don't feel anything. you just keep going. >> i've dong spring classes in new york, not quite light that, but the music makes a difference, instruct sore getting you going, motivating you, being energetic. >> maybe i'm try t i need something. i need to do something to get myself together. >> let's do it. >> all right, back in time, i made my picks for the tournament after the break. >> oh, oh,. >> here we go. >> an accident out of the camera shot there, right at the vare avenue off ramp. south on 95, stack up, from cottman, into downtown! we got some falling ice, not only from the builds, but also, from the delaware memorial bridge so outer lanes blocked in both directions causing jammo up and over the bridges. and because after car park and blocking the t

ryan. he worked very hard. he worked very hard. tom price and mike pence, who is here. perhaps the best thing that can happen is exactly what happened today, because we will end up with a truly great health care bill in the future after this mess known as obamacare explodes. i want to thank everybody for being here. it will go very smoothly. it certainly was an interesting period of time. we all learn a lot. we learned about loyalty, the vote getting process. we learned about some very arcane rules in obviously both the senate and the house. for me it has certainly been an interesting experience. in the end it will be an experience that leads to a better health care plan. thank you very much and i will see you soon. >> your intention is to go for tax reform? pres. trump: we will write now be going for tax reform, which we could have done earlier, but this would have worked out better if could have had democrats support. we have had no democrat support. we will go toward tax reform. >> are you confident in speaker ryan's ability to get this thing done? pres. trump: yes.

charlie: what does this thing about paul ryan other than the fact he has the same problems that john boehner had? mikea great tweet said somewhere john boehner is sipping a glass of merlot. it is harder, than it looks young man. this marriage between the speaker and the president, as you know, was always going to be arranged and a difficult marriage. at the end, when they were in such different places, the white house clearly was planning to take credit if this passed and blame paul ryan if it did not. and, the president tried to bully the speaker of the end, telling him to go ahead and take this vote. the president thinking in classic deal terms and that is on wall street, deals die again and again until they are finally done. the gamble was you go ahead, get this vote and eventually you are going to be better off. the speakers saw his support unit operating and new -- evaporating and knew that was not going to be the case. republicans are moving on, not trying to fix this on monday morning. plunging into tax reform this morning at an event, i had a conversation with the treasury secretary steve mnuc

meanwhile, paul ryan met are vice president mike pence. vice president mike pence was asked to comment about his use of private e-mail, after going after hillary clinton for the same issue. >> there is no comparison between hillary clinton mishandling classified information and this. >> reporter: dominating the headlines were reports that attorney general jeff sessions met with the russian ambassador twice, failing to mention that during his confirmation hearing. >> he did not intend to lie or mislead. he believed he was answering the question being asked. >> reporter: the president was particularly annoyed with chuck schumer, tweeting a picture of a meeting between vladimir putin and him. >>> a march of support for president donald trump is holding a march in berkeley. according to the group's website, the rally will begin at 2:00 and will continue to the uc berkeley campus, counter protests are also planned. berkeley police are working with the organizers to make sure that the demonstrations remain peaceful. >>> a hearing was held to add

it sounded like you were telling mike to ask paul ryan about phases two and three. phase two would be regulatory measure has the president and secretary price would be in charge of. when can we expect to see a list of those from the white house? >> i will ask secretary price. i know that he mentioned yesterday when he came out to talk to folks after the score that his office was working on that. i will be glad to see if we have a time line on that and then follow up with you on that. >> also, it sounded like you were saying that the white house is confident you will get to 60 votes on those things in phase three, those measures that conservatives have been asking for. >> right. >> is the white house confident about the 60 votes? >> yes. >> and the final thing is also on health care as well. yesterday secretary price said he wasn't saying to disregard the cbo report completely. but that sounds like what the administration is arguing and what you are arguing as well from the body up. you said that the cbo coverage estimates are consistently wrong. >> yeah. >> and you
