the president's comment is correct that i think one of the reasons you asked mr. ryan one ofhe questions why are we doing this, why are we here right now. i think part of the reason is that this is the first anniversary of the president's inauguration. i think the left wing of the democrat party is extraordinarily disappointed with how the first year has gone because the president has good many successes, the tax bill, success in the stock markets, advances that we've had in employment. and i think one of the reasons you're seeing the democrats pick this fight right now, reason that it is different, has in the past because here we are on the first anniversary, should we be be talking about successes instead talking about radio shut down idea why is it considered a present and why is it good you? said it was cool to shut down the government. people are one hand being told this is great disaster for military families then these other signals. >> my comment was that i just thought it was interesting from academic standpoint after all rife been through in washington, d.c.

ryan. welcome, mr. speaker. >> thank you. dickerson: where are things in this negotiation as of right now? >> first let me just say, your last show hanging out with the likes of ryan and mulvaney, you're in for serious upgrade, congratulations on that. to the serious point, we're still in shut down, we're waiting for the senate democrats to open the government back up. that is solely done by the senate democrats, it's absolutely meaningless. they shut down the government over a completely unrelated issue and the bill that they're opposing is a bill that they support which is just baffling to us. children's health insurance, funding for our troops are keeping the government going they shut it down over unrelated immigration issue with a deadline weeks away, what's so baffling about this was, we were negotiating in good faith, on daca all the same. we want to solve this problem so it's not as if we were saying no way, no how, no discussions. they blew up the negotiations that were already underway. >> dickerson: get to some of t

[video clip] mr. ryan: this budget debate, what is this about? this debate is evolving into a fundamental difference between the two parties. the republicans, we say we have to balance the budget. we have got to pay down the debt. it is interesting to note that the clinton administration's budget proposal for this year projects building more deficits, an excess of $250 billion, adding on top of the debt. we think we have to balance the budget as soon as possible. >> that was 1995. the debt is now $20 trillion, and the tax bill will add another $1 trillion to the debt. speaker ryan: yeah. my haircut was better in 1995 than in 1998. taking a look at that. [laughter] if you look at all of our full-scale efforts, like the budget we passed this past year, the diane black budget, that had a lot of reforms in it and is a balanced budget. i wrote eight of the budgets we passed since i have been in congress, which are all balanced budget plans. the problem is you got to give these bills to the house, senate, and president to sign them into law. we think t

mr. ryan says the public deserves to see the conclusion of the republicans on the house intelligence committee. he says quote, what we want is this memo to come out for the .ransparency can reign supreme we are expected to get a message from the white house in the next couple of days. on his way out of the chamber, president trump was encouraged to release that memo and it was caught on tape as he was shaking jeff with congressman dunham. >> let's release the memo. president trump: no worries, 100%. clip from our c-span twitter page where we are tweeting out. you can go to c-span's webpage, c-span.org to watch the entire event yourself and watch any of our events here from c-span. a few minutes left to keep talking about the president's push for a one point $5 trillion infrastructure investment that would include $200 billion in .ederal dollars caller: i don't care which president may be in office, but it seems the last ace up their ,leeve is infrastructure plans may it be obama or go on forev

mr. ryan: thank you for inviting us to camp david. i am pleased with the fact we had a productive conversation with the president and his team yesterday about how we go forward in 2018. we have big things to do with the american people. we are excited to work on that. as both the president and the leader said, we are set with historic achievements in 2018 we went to believe oh get our economy growing faster. growing our economy in 2018 is ensuring people enjoy economic things to come. we have to get to focus on closing that gap so everyone can get the kind of life and career they can get in this country and tap the potential. we had issues like infrastructure to attend to, we want to make sure our military have the tools and resources they need to keep us safe, so we have a very bold agenda for 2018. we think it is one that will appeal to everyone between democrats, republicans, and independents, so we are excited about the progress already made and what we have in store in 2018. thank you. present trump: mike? vice president pence: t

[applause] in mr. ryan: members of congress, i have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the president of united states. [applause] president trump: mr. speaker, mr. vice president, members of congress, first lady of the united states, and my fellow americans, less than one year has passed since i first stood at this podium in this majestic chamber to speak on behalf of the american people and to address their concerns, their hopes and their dreams. that night, our new administration had already taken very swift action. a new tide of optimism was already sweeping across our land. each day since, we have gone timism was already sweeping across our land. have goneince, we forward with a clear vision and a righteous mission, to make america great again for all americans. [applause] pres. trump: over the last year, we have made incredible progress and achieved extraordinary success. we have faced challenges we expected and others we could have never imagined. we have shared in the heights

mr. ryan: i, too, want to wish ason luck. speaker ryan: look, after hearing the good news in recent weeks, there is one thing that's undeniable. tax reform is boosting america's economic confidence. company after company is announcing we're having increased bonus, wages, for new investment in america because of tax reform. i was at my son's basketball game on sunday, a u.a.w. worker in a chrysler plant in belvedere said this will get me $4,000 in my paycheck. i thought this was only for the rich. i guess that's me now. this is working. it's just the beginning. at the hard of this law is really a lower tax burden for american families who are going to start seeing this relief very, very soon. last week the treasury department announced that it had adjusted the amount the i.r.s. takes out of people's paychecks to account for this new law. it's estimated that 90% of wage earners in america will experience an increase in their take-home pay starting as soon as february. let me just say that one more time. 90% of american workers

mr. ryan says the public deserves to see the conclusion of the republicans on the house intelligence committee. he says quote, what we want is this memo to come out for the .ransparency can reign supreme we are expected to get a message from the white house in the next couple of days. on his way out of the chamber, president trump was encouraged to release that memo and it was caught on tape as he was shaking jeff with congressman dunham.

i believe it is important that the leadership, mr. ryan and mr. mcconnell, put a clean d.r.e.a.m. act on the floor of the house this week for us to vote for and it will win. i know my good friends have a compromise, and i don't know the level of support for the compromise. i know the congressional black caucus continues to support diversity visas and wants to ensure that tps remains. but right now a clean d.r.e.a.m. act would pass the house and the senate. and if there is any dignity among the leadership, if there is any commitment to patriotism, if there is any desire to put country over party, this is the week. i also call for clergy to converge on the congress this week. this is a united states capital. the world will be watching. i also believe african ambassadors and the haitian ambassador should be called to the carpet. we should engage them and say to them the policies of the united states are to respect your nations, are to recognize that africa will be one of the largest trading partners that we could ever have, and to thank them for hosting the africa command and continu

over the last four years, we had an agreement between mr. ryan and senator murray that we would -- we understand our military is critically important and we also understand there are domestic is thewhether it environment, health care, education, they are important as well. both the defense and nondefense sides of the budget are hurt when you have a cr because they plan, and they cannot make contracts if they do not have any money. correct,i think she is but what we ought to have done over the last six months, particularly when we did the september, we gave 90 days, is to reach some agreement on what the caps are going to be. the ryan agreements were parity and we believe that is important. we should get to where we should get an want to get there, but we all to have -- we ought to have an agreement based on what we had before. pres. trump: we have to take politics out of the military. we need our military and we needed stronger than ever before. we have to take politics out of the villa terry. one thing -- out of the military. maybe i'm stronger

ryan: mr. speaker, let me understand why this happened. thursday, this house responsibly passed a bill to give the government open and to extend the children's health insurance program, which covers newly 9 million children from low income families. no games. no strings attached. a straightforward bill. we did our job. but senate democrats simply refused to do theirs. last night, they used the filibuster to block our bill and to shut down this government, but why? what exactly in this bill was it that the senate democrats opposed? why would they do such a thing? what do they find so object-able? what do they disagree with? what is so objectional that they would hold the government hostage? was it funding for our military? was at the children's health insurance program? is it funding for the veterans administration? funding for our national parks? what is it? the answer is they have no problems with any of it. and yet, they are blocking this legislation anyway. that's right. senate democrats shut down the government over a bill that they ha

mr. ryan: mr. speaker, this is about members of congress doing their job. the number one function of a ongress is to put out a budget and this congress spent the last six, eight months giving away $2 trillion to the wealthiest people in the country and now we come to do a budget and say, well, we don't have any money. we have priorities here, and it's about taking care of people who are getting hurt. it's about a gentleman who drove truck for 40 years, missed the baseball game, missed the soccer match because they were on the road. now they need their pension and it's cut in half in this congress -- and this congress isn't doing a damn thing about it. it's about the coal miner who climbed into a dirty hole for 40 years and now they want a pension and the republican leadership here is absent. it's about health care for kids, and it's about young kids, 11 million of them, who are going to law school, going to college, going to med school and all they want is a chance to sleep good at night. this congress needs to get back to work. the speaker pro tempore: the

four years, we had an agreement between mr. ryan and senator murray speaker ryan, , -- that we would understand that our military's critically important, but we also understand that our domestic issues whether it's education, , whether it's health care, whether it's the environment, whether it's transportation and infrastructure, they're important as well. both the defense and nondefense sides of the budget are hurt when you have a cr because they cannot plan and they cannot let contracts that they don't have any money to do so. so very frankly, i think ms. mc sally is correct. but what we ought to have done over the last six months particularly when we did the , september and we gave 90 days is to reach some agreement on , what the caps are going to be, the murray/ryan agreements were eight parity, we believe that is very important. so we can get to where we should get and want to get there, but we ought to have an agreement based upon what the last elco -- >> senator, we do have to take politics out of the military, we need to tha

big debate even amongst the senate -- republican-controlled senate and sayingsident who are now to mr. ryan and mr. brady, "hold ." here they want to go next as part of what they would call their after movement is to go both medicare and medicaid and social security. they call them entitlements. right? the fact of the matter is it's the insurance you pay for, and upricans have got to stand -- i say this in every place i go and talk about our social security bill and talk about medicare and medicaid. this is the insurance that you pay for. don't let anybody tell you that this is some kind of entitlement. this isn't an entitlement. your social security, when you look at your pay stub, is says fica -- federal insurance contribution act. whose contribution? yours. you are the one that pays for that benefit. and, yes, with respect to social security, corporations do contribute to that. it is a tax write off for them, as well it should be. it goes into a benefit, the best benefit the country has ever designed and come up with has been social security. i forget where the gentleman is an ongoing co

sure that the military is funded properly and over the last four years, we had an agreement between mr. ryan and senator murray that we understand that our military is critically important and we also understand that our domestic issues whether it's education or whether it's health care or the environment or transportation and infrastructure. they are important as well. both the defense and nondefense sides of the budget are hurt when you have a cr. they cannot plan. if they don't have money to do so. after the last six months particularly when we did the september when we gave 90 days is to reach agreement on what the caps are going to be. the murray-ryan agreements were a parody and we believe that's important. we can get to where we should get and want to get there, but we ought to have an agreement based upon what the last two -- >> we have to take politics out of the military. we need the military. we won't be here if we don't have the right military. we need the military stronger than ever before and we are ready to do it, but we have to take politics out of the military. one thing tha

already been said by our esteemed speaker, not the gentleman that's in the chair at this moment, but mr. ryan, he's already said we have to take the next step now. we have to cut entitlements. oh, my. the entitlements. we have to cut them. in order to deal with this huge new deficit that was created by the tax plan. wait a minute. mr. speaker, you just created the deficit. and now you want to go after entitlements? stop. time out. do we understand what an entitlement is? do we know what an entitlement is? let me tell you. social security. medicare. oh. we're talking about seniors. social security. seniors. you mean, we've got to cut entitlements? social security? oh, mr. speaker, that's what you want us to do? you want us to cut medicare? you're suggesting we do that by raising the eligibility age? not from 65, but maybe 67, 68. terrific. and you just cut the ability for these people to get health insurance at the same time? how does that calculate? not in my mind it doesn't. did i mention medicaid? you know that program, medicaid, medicare, social security, education? those are entitlements.

and over the last four years, we had an agreement between mr. ryan and senator murray, speaker ryan and -- that we would -- we understand that our military's critically important, but we also understand that our domestic issue, whether it's education, whether it's health case whether it's the environment, whether it's transportation and infrastructure, they're important as well. and both the defense and nondefense sides of the budget are hurt when you have a cr. because they cannot plan. and they cannot let contracts if they don't have any money to do so. so that very frankly, i think miss mcalley is correct, but i think what we ought to have done over last six months, particularly when we did september and we gave 90 days, is to reach some agreement on what the caps are going to be. the murray/ryan agreements were in parity. we believe that's very important. we can get to where we should get and want to get there. we ought to have an agreement based upon what the last two -- >> but steny, we do have to take politics out of the military. we need that

bring in the speaker paul ryan to react. mr. speaker, as you know you guys do what you were supposed to do, all the drama around the senate but you are captive to what is going on on the other side. we heard about a meeting today, 11:00 at a conference call, last night there would be no vote in 1:00 in the morning. it was put off until today at noon. what is the latest you can tell us? >> that is it, brian which the democrats will have a chance to open the government they shut down at noon today. if they open the government at noon the house will pass this bill. instead of having the government spending bill go to february the 16th it, would go to february 8th. we agreed to that change in date. children's health insurance that dries up. you're seeing furloughed workers across america. troops are not getting their pay. border patrol not getting their pay. national parks, i could go on and on. this is totally pointless and needless. senate democrats did this. senate democrats can stop this at noon today. steve: republicans are dug
