mr. ryan: thank you, mr. speaker. i appreciate the opportunity to be here once again and follow up the gentleman from texas and his remarks that i think hit the nail on the head with regard to working-class families out in the heartland and deep south are facing every single day. i think it's important every policy we push here in the united states congress is a policy that addresses some of those deep concerns that they all have. sometimes i think that this town gets into a little bit of a bubble, two separate political parties that talk to each other, talk at each other, talk within each other, but we're in the midst of deep change in the united states. and we're in the midst of the kind of structural change we have not seen in our country in a long, long time. we have an economic system, a tax code, a trade regime, that has not, quite frankly, been up to the task to meet the needs of working-class families. we have a health kir system that even though many changes have been made, i think to help people get coverage

mr. speaker, more lewd social media messages surfaced today from congressman joe barton, apparently a constituent said that he had messaged over facebook some lewd messages? speaker ryan: today? i'll have to get back to you on it. reporter: this is in addition to the photos and the videos. have you spoken with mr. barton? do you think that he should esign or face any sort reprimand? speaker rye yan: i have spoken with him and will continue to peak with him. reporter: is a conference committee how the differences will be worked out, or is there any chance it will be a concerns committee? my harder question is, despite all of the things in your tax bill and what is meerging in the senate tax bill that i know you guys feel very good about. good for the economy and taxpayers. the polling on your bill, which is finished, is not good. why do you think that is? how do you turn that around? ryan: companies bringing money to america from overseas. what people don't actually see a law passing and results occurring, and banter on television and pundits arguing against each other are going to be confused. they are going to be -- they are going to be misled in certain directions.

mr. paul ryan. the speaker pro tempore: members take your seats or conversations off the floor. the speaker is recognized. the speaker: first of all i want to thank the gentleman for yielding. my colleagues, i rise today in strong support of the foundations for evidence-based policymaking act. first, i want to thank the sponsor of the bill. i want to thank mr. farenthold, i want to thank mr. kilmer. chairman gowdy. blake farenthold and derek kilmer were the key drivers of this measure and made it stronger by incorporating their open government data act. tray gowdy and his staff, i don't know where he is, trey gowdy and chairman his staff, e kathy, spent countless hours working with our team, especially ted, and others to turn the commission on evidence-based policy vision into legislation. all the members of this commission did incredible work. i want to especially thank senator patty murray for her willingness to work together on this issue. we may be on different sides of one isle, but there is we passionately agree on and that is what the government does, it should do it well

mr. ryan: good morning first i want to thank these families for taking time out of their day to join us. welcome. it is great to have you here with us today. fantastic. you are who this is all about. this plan is for the middle class families in this country who deserve a break. it is for the families who are out there living paycheck to paycheck who just keep getting squeezed. half the country today is living paycheck to paycheck and a lot more people are about a paycheck away from living paycheck to paycheck in this country. and this is going to help give people relief. the tax cut and jobs act will deliver real relief for people in the middle. people who are also striving to get there. with this plan, the typical family of four will save $1,182 a year on their taxes. .a year on their taxes. for many families having an additional $1,182 more will make a real difference. that $1,182 more covers about a year's worth of gas for your car. it covers your family's phone bill for the year. dependin

certainly mueller will try to turn ryan, mr. ryan, who was arrested along with mr. manafort, ryan is, kind of manafort's boy. he's his associate. he'll be relatively easy, i think, to get to cooperate with the government. he might give up the goods on people like his boss, manafort. that's how these cases are made. it's like "law & order" that tv show, investigators go from office to office asking questions, building clues that ultimately leads them to the big kahuna. >> that of course is the president of the united states. getting us back to donald trump's consistent seeming desire to rid himself of mueller. he obviously fired james comey, jared kushner and others rooting him on to do that. he can't outright fire mueller. he can't get the attorney general do it. he's recused, have to get the acting attorney general, rosenstein, said he won't do it. you now have members of congress. a republican resolution put forward by three members of congress pub lirred friday introducing resolution demanding robert mueller resign on his own based on a completely phantom scandal,

obviously mr. ryan, but even the other members in the committee level. you can't have a guy like this come in and cut his own special deal which arguably, he's placed in direct opposition. >> lou: where is house oversight and the house judiciary committee and what in the world are they doing? they are acting like little podles who are afraid to get in the arena and they don't want to be pressing the national security issues? >> to be blunt, they are nearly worthless. they are good for discussing and bringing up the topic. but what we need here is it the attorney general of the united states and the department of justice you know to impanel grand jurors and start indicting people. >> lou: what is it going to take? >> i don't know how much more twichted and perverted it can get frankly. weep are at the point now, there is it substantial evidence to go before a grand jury. and the thing missing is a dead body. maybe that will come along. >> lou: some argue they have that body. >> that is true. i am speaking with respect to directly with fusion gps. bullpen

i call on mr. ryan to please, as speaker of the house, initiate the committees of jurisdiction to mark up a new aumf and bring it to the floor and let the 435 members of the house have a debate no matter whether they want to stay or come home. but by not debating, we're not meeting our constitutional responsibility. i yield back the balance of my ime. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from south carolina, mr. clyburn, for five minutes. mr. clyburn: thank you, mr. speaker. i request permission to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. clyburn: thank you. mr. speaker, i rise to alert the scam an people to the tax that is the republicans' tax reform proposal unveiled last week. it is reported that president trump wanted to call this bill, quote-unquote, cut, cut, cut. that would have been apropos. the first cut is for him and his family scam that is members. the second cut is for his wealthy friends. and aquaintances. the third cut is for the large corp

mr. ryan: i thank the gentleman. the last time there was tax reform, it was 31 years ago. since then, 96% of income growth went to the top 10% of the people in the country, 96% went to the top 10%. the top 1% controlled 90% of the wealth in this country. 63% of average families in the united states of america could emergency. d a $500 we have pensions collapsing. we have communities that have eroded, wiped out. and the republican plan to fix all of this is to go to the $2.3 e government, borrow trillion and bring it back to the united states and give it to the wealthiest people in this country. now that is not going to fix a damn thing in the united states. it's not going to help flint or springfield, not going to help youngstown or pittsburgh or gary. i'm talking about gary, indiana, will get hammered from this thing. and we have tried this before and many of you were here. president bush did this. said we are going to cut taxes for the wealthy and lead to growth and wages are going to go up. we had the most stagnant decade of growth since the great depression and ended i

mr. ryan abraham and mr. drew crouch from the minority staff. all are present to answer questions about the mark. we are also joined by mr. tom west who serves as tax legislative council at tom landry. mr. west is here to give us the administration's perspective on issues under discussion. i'm sure members of the committee have several questions about the mark. i will recognize members for if purpose of asking such questions in the appropriate order under the rules of the committee. so we'll just go from there. turn to you senator. >> thank you mr. chairman. and the first thing i want to say is tom barthold and his team at the joint committee on taxation, in my view, are the gold standard for professionalism in this field. they call in on the basis of the facts. they are objective. they are straight with democrats. they are straight with republicans. they are straight with everybody across the political spectrum. mr. barthold, i just want to begin by thanking you and your staff for your habitual professionalism. and i think we are probably going

brady and his program to do a two-step together with the speaker of the house, mr. ryan. it was laid out in the budget bill. and the two-step is this. make a monumental tax cut that really is for the superwealthy and then as soon as you get that signed by president trump, you then do the second step, which is to do massive cuts so that you can deal with the deficit. so why i bring up the issue of the deficit for just a moment. and i don't expect you to really look at all these numbers, but this is the structural deficit that exists today. $563 billion structural deficit, every year this year and in the past years, we are running a serious deficit. 10 years from now it's going to be over a trillion dollar a year structural deficit. what does the 1% bill do for you? it adds to the structural deficit this year. $115 billion and in 2027, it .ill add $155 billion look at it this way and perhaps it's easier to understand. it's about the deficit and this is why the two-step is going to happen. oh, by the way, the deficit hawks that once occupied that entire array on the right si

already in the budget that passed this house with mr. ryan as speaker was a $500 billion 700uction to medicare and a $ billion or $00 billion reduction to medicaid. 60% of which go to the elderly in nursing homes. that's what they have in mind. secondly, they'll talk about a trillion dollar infrastructure. no way. the money is gone. there will be no infrastructure program no roads new york trains new york buses. no levees. no repair. mr. tonko: and mr. garamendi, i would point out, tinkering with the public utility bonds, that public utility financing that will be devastated by this bill, adds to the further woes for building our investments in infrastructure of all kinds. mr. garamendi: and you might add education to that. so what do you do? student loans, of which $1.4 trillion and nearly $1 trillion of that is owned by the federal government. these students are paying interest to the federal government and to add to that we're going to deny them the ability to deduct the student interest -- the loan interest that they're paying. this is ju

certainly mueller will try to turn mr. ryan who was arrested along with mr. manafort as kind of manafort's boy, he's his associate, so he will be relatively easy i think to get to cooperate with the government. he might give up the goods on people like his boss manafort. that's how these cases are made. i always say it's like law and order, the tv the show, where investigators go office to office asking questions building clues that ultimately leads them to the big kahuna. >> and that of course is the president of the united states. and liz bet, thelizabeth, that k to trump's consistent desire to get rid of mueller. he ultimately fired james comey. he can't outright fire mueller. he would have to get the deputy attorney general to do it who said he one of the. you now have members of congress introducingdema demanding that robert mueller resign on his own based on this. there are human rule others that steve bannon is encouraging trump to defund mueller's investigation. can any of these attempts be seen on the impeachment side or in a legal sense? >> well, i

adam caruso, and mr. ryan abraham and mr. drew crouch from the minority staff. in addition, we have mr. tom west, the tax legislative counsel from the treasury. with us today. all are present to answer questions of any member of this committee. members have any questions that members have about the modification, that is. i'm sure there are a number of matters my colleagues would like to discuss at this point, and that's customary. however, i do want to note that members had several hours yesterday to ask questions about the original mark, and through the latter part of the day, they chose to forego those opportunities. therefore, i hope that members will focus most of their attention today on the modification and less on the provisions of the mark that haven't changed. furthermore, i hope that members will focus their questions and discussion on the subject at hand, which once again, is tax reform. health care matters are fine for discussion as long as they relate to the tax code. but if we continually end up in the weeds on health care policy with little or no

mr. ryan: thank you, mr. speaker. i appreciate the opportunity to be here this evening on the floor of the united states house of representatives. and talk about a timely issue most s an issue that is important to most of the american people. and that is the issue of the economy, globalization, automation, all of the issues that are coming down on many communities across the united states. and i want to take this opportunity to spend the next 30 minutes walking through for the american people a little bit about what's happened and talk very clearly about the differences in approach on how we deal with these issues and how the republican party is trying to deal with these issues. and how those of us on the democratic side want to deal with these issues. and i don't want to get into a suggestion at all, mr. speaker, about who hates whom and who's bad and who's good and who's this and who's that. i want to talk about the facts. and i want to talk about the historical facts and i want to talk about what is happening to av

mr. ryan: i appreciate the opportunity to be here for a special order. the issues of the day in shington d.c. are many and tonight i would like to talk about what is happening with the tax reform bill that is coming before the united states senate. we are getting rumors that it will be here this week and maybe a possible vote on friday. and it's important for us as we look at the first tax reform bill in 31 years to understand that we do need changes to our tax code has the become too complicated, too complex. it needs to be simplified. the tax code has become burdensome to small, medium-sized businesses. it's not always the most cooperative tax code for entrepreneurship or innovation. it lacks incentives for helping us in certain sectors of the economy to help us grow. but the most staggering problem itthe tax code today is that has direct and substantial benefits for the wealthiest people in the country. now, i'm of the mind set that we need to have a tax code and economy and public policies that are going to allow the free enterprise system to work ef

mr. mcconnell about going to conference. are you guys seriously going to conference? speaker ryan: put the political hack aside, we are going to conference and that's the point i made, we are going to conference. the person -- i don't even know which hack did that. but if you were there, we're going to conference. why are we going to conference? because we're doing this the right way, we're doing this regular order. yes, the senate bill will be different than the house bill because that's the legislative process. what's encouraging in all this is just as we discussed at the front end of this process, we have a framework that we established with the white house , and the senate and these bills are being written with inside that framework. but the house will pass its bill. the senate will pass its bill and then we will get together and reconcile the differences , which is the legislative process, and that's how this process will continue. reporter: thanks. i wanted to ask you a follow-up on the politics of this. you talked a lot about how this will affect individuals and families, i

mr. speaker, i rise today to share the story of marco, a dreamer in portland, oregon, and to continue to urge speaker ryan to put forth a clean dream act bill. mr. schrader: 1995, marco was brought to the united states when his -- when he was only 3 years old. as a teenager with dreams of going to college, marco realized he didn't qualify for financial aid because of his immigration status. but he did not allow this to deter him. instead marco worked hard in various minimum wage jobs allowing him the ability to attend college part-time. in 2012, after applying for daca, marco was granted a work permit, making it possible for him to earn a job with a law firm in portland are we worked his way up from the mail room to be a legal assistant. he worked for a law firm and enabled him to enroll in more classes and complete his bch lore's degree in accounting. he works as an account ant for oregon's nonprofits that help belle benefit youth. this president claims to want only the best. i have news for him. we already have the best and the brightest and the time we stopped treating them like second class citizens.

mr. speaker, following impassioned remarks by the majority leader mccarthy and speaker ryan. both addressed this house. and the american people. and claimed to be pushing these tax bills in order to help the working people of our country. a worthy objective. an important objective. and perhaps one could justify this extraordinary escalation of the national debt, the largest increase in the national debt of any single bill that has been passed. they cited struggling families and the need to provide a leg up to those in our middle class. those, of course, are very resonant messages. very important messages. frankly, we ought to be talking about how we create jobs, not debt. but they're being implored to sell a tax plan that would exactly the opposite of what they say. in his speech on the floor, speaker ryan lamented, and i'm quoting, 7 % of our workers in this country today are living paycheck to paycheck. instead of thinking about getting ahead, families are struggling just to get by. he's right about that. and he is right to be concerned about that. what he is wrong in is hi

mr. money bags over here is so important to this discussion, because that is ultimately who is going to benefit. now, speaker ryanlso believes, as i mentioned, that we should give a windfall to the ultra-wealthy by eliminating the estate tax and, again, that estate tax is paid by less than 5,400 families across the nation. and in 2016, not one person paid the estate tax in seven states. so what happens to middle-class families? because if all these wealthy folks are going to get all the money, then the question is, what happens for middle-class families? because that's really where the attention should be. that was what was promised by donald trump. speaker ryan and the republican establishment have attacked commonsense policies used by millions of middle-class families in order to pay for this tax giveaway for the wealthy. so republicans have taken away the ability to write off your state and local tax bills, forcing millions of families to pay taxes twice on the same dollar earned except for property taxes up to a mere $10,000. that's the cap that they're proposing on property taxes. and americans that are hit

i will say this, at some point paul ryan and mr.hip have to be put to the test and asked do you really think what you've done on the individual side is tax reform. because it's not. it's not even close. this is, this is something that would make -- on the individual side, not on the corporate side which i think is very good. neil: right. >> on the individual side, i think barack obama right now is smiling. because what they did was they took away deductions, they raised taxes, essentially, by taking away deductions and not moving the brackets significantly down. they gave tax cuts to people that really don't pay a lot in federal income tax. if they really wanted to help the middle class, they would have cut the payroll tax, but they're not doing that. it's a slight of hand, and i think that's the problem -- neil: but you think winning out the corporate tax and that that is the real headline -- >> listen, i love that. neil: yeah. >> we have a 35% corporate tax. if you want to get businesses to keep money, i've been talking to ceos, t

mr. president, let me tell you a quick more up-to-date story. we had the secretary of interior, ryan zinke, combat vet, navy seal, heroic man himself and i asked him to come meet with a bunch of alaska native veterans who had an issue that the department of interior has been working on for years and i wanted him to hear about it firsthand. it was a very touching meeting. some in the room talked about how it was like to be in their villages, places they never left when they were 17 and 18 and 19 and then a few days later in ta steamy jungle thousands and thousands of miles away in vietnam. some talked about what it was like coming back and not feeling like they had the support of their country. others talked about the difficult -- the difficulty of readjusting to life back in alaska after their service in vietnam. and some of the discrimination that they received when they came back home. but even though they went through this hardship, even though they went some of these very difficult times in the late 1960's and early 1970's, not one of them said that they had made a mistake in ser

mr. brady: thank you, buddy.
