mr. ryan: i don't know. mr. kane: you lost count? mr. ryan: yeah. i lost count. mr. kane: you literally lost count? mr. ryan: yeah. mr. kane: in the moment you took the speaker's gavel, i think you guys were at 247. mr. ryan: yeah, i think that's right. mr. kane: and you're passing off the conference to mccarthy and it is 201 or 208. mr. ryan: that's right. that's right. mr. kane: how much of that blame falls on you? mr. ryan: i am not -- i thought you were going to ask me a different question. [laughter] mr. kane: you assumed it was going to be trump? ok well then answer both. [speaking simultaneously] mr. ryan: historically it's a 32-seat loss, somewhere around there. i think that was part of the problem. if you look at the crunch of the numbers, it's a few things. first of all, suburban voters, that's the number one liability we experienced. pennsylvania redistricting, and california just defies logic to me. we, we had a lot of wins that night. we were only down 26 seats the night of the election. and three weeks later we lost basically every contested california

mr. ryan: i was. mr. kane: were you sent home? mr. ryan: i don't remember. let's see. i was -- i was ld back in those days. i think we did send a bunch of people home. i was not. mr. kane: do you ever think, it was early october, 2015, boehner had already sort of dropped the mic and said he was going to leave. your friend kevin mccarthy was going to be the speaker, it seemed. do you ever think what would have happened if instead of what mccarthy falling short, if you had just sort of stayed at ways and means? mr. kane: yeah, -- mr. ryan: yeah i've certainly , thought about it. i was going to give a nominating speech to the conference, and he called me 10 minutes before the conference and said, you know, i don't have the votes, i'm going to nominate you. i said the hell you are. excuse me. so, and -- mr. kane: it's ok. [speaking simultaneously] mr. ryan: i really didn't want to do the job. i loved, i always wanted to be ways and means chair. that's why i never ran for the senate, i wanted to be ways and means chair because of the issues i cared about. i loved where i was

mr. ryan asked you to be responsible for getting the permits, you said no, and you kept the waivers in there? correct. and you had put the waiver in there for the permit requirement to build the rooftop deck, correct? correct. mr. ryan asked you to take that out. i'm sorry, he asked you to be responsible. and you said no? correct. and he signed the contract anyway. he knew that this deck was being built illegally and without the benefit of any permits, then for the next seven years, 2008, 2009, 2010, '11, '12, '13, '14, d.b.i. is on him for this illegal structure. they are issuing notices of violation saying you need to do everything to legalize this. he points fingers at everybody, he doesn't take responsibility for anything, and d.b.i. told him back in 2014 you need to get this done. he didn't do anything. an order of abatement was issued in november of 2016. that is still on the property. it's been two years. and now he wants the benefit of relying on a variance from a decade ago, that he d

mr. ryan's legacy is and will be? mr. yce: i am glad he will get time with his family after the campaigning for this cycle. but what i remember about paul ryan is he talked about how he wanted to protect social but he hadave it, some form of privatizing it that would amount to a coupon. when somebody got a coupon once , they were out, they were on their own. they were left to their own devices. we have asked bryan steil if he would commit to promise not to cut social security, can we count on you not to vote to cut social security? get to thatll maybe, in his answer, unless you are finished. mr. bryce: i am. steve: sir. mr. steil: i think of paul ryan the person, great father, great husband, someone we are proud to call our congressman. he is also a great listener. great constituent services. if you had a problem with red tape in washington, d.c., he is the person you go to. that carried on a tradition from les aspen to paul ryan. i think it is someone we are proud of to call our congressman here in southeast wisconsin. i

mr. ryan: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today as the congressman from the general motors-lourdestown plant. we have got some bad news this week that we're going to lose 1,600 jobs in lournstown, you factor in the supply chain, four, five or six times the amount of that in our community. seat manufacturer, lo jestics company, trucking and all the rest. many communities in the last week have been dealt a pretty bad hand. and i think this speaks, mr. speaker, to the broken economic system that we have in the united states. when you have a company many years ago that gets a rescue package from the taxpayers in the united states, many years later, last year they got $157 million in a tax cut we were told was going to be spent for workers and factories and johns in the heartland, and turn round and cut 14,000 jobs, and their stock price goes up 6%. that is a broken economic system that we have in the united states of america. and we need an industrial policy in this country where the government, the agencies, the departmen

mr. ryan's announcement. if he wanted to leave, he could leave after the election.te. announcing months ago, i'm done. i'm not going to run for reelection. a lot of people said stay as speaker and protect the majority. it is striking to see this coming out of public now and this republican blame game. >> that's when it happens. when a party is in the minority. we see all of this finger-pointing and what's so interesting to me is that the election results are a choose your own story line or choose your own adventure. but the republican losers in the house are congress pointing. when you look at the overall picture where the party is now becoming the party of suburban, wealthier, white collar, college educated elites and the party accelerated by trump and the trump presidency is now becoming a party of blue collar working class people. it's so different from what the parties were even a decade ago. >> democrats have a lot of black voters obviously. >> right. that and minorities. >> democrats had a good night in the midwest. interesting to watch in '20. in kansas. trum

you're laughing, mr. ryan. >> yes. >> why are you laughing? >> tactical success doesn't matter in the bigger picture so much as the strategic outcome. >> if you're the germans, what makes you think that you succeeded in this fight? >> you didn't get destroyed by the royal navy? >> you weren't completely destroyed? >> you actually scored some victories on a few british ships. >> the death toll stands in favor of the germans. the destruction and damage to ships stands in favor of the germans, but did they achieve the operational results that they were searching for? where do they end up at the end of the battle? >> the same place they started? >> so has the strategic situation changed? >> not at all. no. >> all right. and that kind of brings us to, in terms of review, if we think about the dimensions and traditionally, throughout this course at this point, where does war at sea occur? >> on the surface. >> are there alternatives to that if you can't fight effectively on the surface at this point? >> in world war i they haven't really moved in to

i don't know where mr. ryan gets that number.ave respect for him, he is rather more moderate democrat but those kinds of knit picking and ankle biting i don't know where that thing comes from when we put this program in place, when president trump ran on this in 2016, kevin hastert and i and laugher and so fourth worked on it, we believe that the tax cuts for corporations, large and small, the marginal tax rate reductions, now down 21 % for companies, large companies, that's 19% for small companies. the biggest beneficiary would be ordinary working folks. the blue collar and that is precisely what the data is showing. maria: larry let me ask you this >> i don't know where they're getting this. maria: congressman kevin brady the clip of house ways and means joined me last week and he's working on an additional tax cut that the president wants to cut taxes by the middle class by 10% and if the economy is going so great why do you have to cut taxes again? >> well look, i think the permanent for the personal taxes , which would inclu

mr. ryan's area, they are sedans and people do not want them now.hat could change if gas prices jumped. vehicle have a bigger at the same price they were paying for a sedan. they allocate another product line, it will not be a big -- good story for them. gm.: more on this is on the back of the front page of the financial times, writing who got bailed out by the motor industry bailout in 2008 when uncle sam pumped 80 billion into general motors and chrysler? gaineds company workers more or less equally. -- otherwise would have been sacrificed had detroit gone under. it is becoming clear the benefits ultimately skewed to the investors. jason in baltimore maryland, good morning. think: the last caller i hit it on the head. this is a corporation. the tax breaks is just a windfall for them. they had to take care of the people still there including higher option investors and a product like the cruze is just not selling. there is not enough money to get around. younger people i work with don't even own vehicles and gm looks about a dozen years into the fu

did try to fix it, but i believe the republican party is trying to sabotage him, especially mr. ryanthe second thing is, how the democrats stick together. in new york state we have the governor who is making a deal with amazon and giving them a 3 billion-dollar tax break. $3 billion in my money -- of my money. mr. cuomo is going to run for president of the united states. will he get a billion dollars back to run for president? so we pay for mr. cuomo to run for president? the teflon governor seems like it is -- like he is going to get away with it again, yet democrats need to go after this guy -- democrats do not go after this guy. that shows you how the democrats stick together. host: the british prime minister, theresa may, went over issues known as brexit. the country suffering a severe setback on that front, saying secretaryrexit resigns, saying that he could the term, dealing with the e.u. last night after the united kingdom european union agreed on the agreement, british chancellor philip hammond held a conference call with business leaders to convince them the draft was the wa

paul ryan, saying, mr. president, could you please keep talking up the economy and not the caravan and all that, paraphrasing here. but do you worry, the president send as signal when it comes to the house, no mas? >> think couple things, first of all on the senate map the president can be more use to the states where his approvals are great. he is going where the rallies and press coverage he drives actually makes a difference. he also realizes house may be far gone from historical perspective having nothing to do with donald trump. he needs to rack up the senate majority sew has a check what is going on in the house. neil: ab, you might have told me this, i took it at my home, where anger resonates more than it would in presidential year. angry voters come out and make sure, come hell or high water they vote. who is angrier in this election year? >> well the democrats are very angry. we've seen it at polling for a long time, more than a year. we did see in new cnn poll this morning 70% of voters say their

came back in 1967, which is when i met her when she arrived, and we was in that office with pat ryan, who was mrs. nixon, and people would call and say i know mrs. nixon, and please put me through to the vice president. mrs. nixon would say that i am sorry, i cannot put you through. date was talking to the future first lady. [ laughter ] >> the other thing is that we had rose, pat, and myself in this one little office and right outside with shelley, and then in the office adjacent to mister nixon's office was a very important person who had arrived with his pipe and so forth, and that was john mitchell. we was all in the corner there. >> we was on the senior partners floor. >> we knew so much about law that it was great to be on the senior floor. >> we found a slide in if you was here for the pictures before, there is a much better version of this they came up in color that would enable us to see this. but talk about the speechwriters who are in the slide. >> the speechwriters basically, i came aboard and was doing excerpts in 1966, one page excerpts, which nixon would put into his speeches. but

that's the point, you heard about their reporting on speaker paul ryan over the weekend, mr.. >> it's this president who has won over and over again, who has succeeded and gotten results, passed legislation, reduced taxes, handle north korea in a way that has prevented another missile being fired. at some point people have to question whether the focus should be on results or safety or prosperity or whether we completely focus on the style into the tone. >> harris: great to see you. it's exciting, right? thank you, sean spicer. president trump's warning to voters about democrats ahead of today's midterm, will it have an effect? the power panel comes on deck next. ♪ delicious 100% real chocolate embracing the lightness of crispy rice. crunch. the chocolate bar all americans love. but allstate helps you. with drivewise. feedback that helps you drive safer. and that can lower your cost now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? >> hi, everyone, i'm dana perino, we've got an awesome show for you. our political guru will share his scorecard with us, plus, can republican

ryan. in janesville wisconsin. mr. speaker, thank you for being here. this is the first time you are not on the ballot since 1998. you are finishing this campaign. tell nick where you started, in southern wisconsin in the district you've represented since then. your sense tonight and where it's tomorrow. >> i feel good. i've been crisscrossing not just wisconsin but america, campaigning with our members in the toughest races. frankly our members feel really good because they have a really good message, bret. look at what we've been able to achieve in congress with the president the last two years. record economy, military being rebuilt, people feeling better about things, more jobs being offered in america than people -- because of all of this, our candidates feel like they have a great message. the alternative is the chaos and dysfunction that the democrats are basically promising if they get control of congress. we really feel like we've got a good shot keeping our majority because our majority is so good and the contrast is so strong. >> bret: mr. sp

mr. curtis: correct. the american health care act introduced by paul ryan was junk. his john mccain gave thumbs down to was junk. but the plan i am proposing covers every american and gives them affordable, accessible health care. sen. hirono: i am all for health care as a right and not a privilege. the federal health care plan requires a lot of federal dollars going into helping provide that kind of health care and i don't know what the cost implications will be. that may be one of the reasons that law did not go very far. there is no question if affordable care act really enabled over 25 million more people to get health care because before the affordable care act people with pre-existing conditions, women, if you had a baby it was a pre-existing condition and the insurance company either could decline to cover you at all where they could charge you a lot more. the affordable care act is not perfect. but when the republican start talking about we have a better plan, they have not come up with a better plan. all they have done is try to repeal an act that has helped

mr. hill: i thank the speaker. this week speaker ryan, leader pelosi welcomed members of the churchill family to the united states capitol and the distinguished ambassador from the united kingdom, in honor of the 144th anniversary of the birthday of the right honorable winston churchill. it's always a touching and fitting ceremony here in the people's capitol. i recall well one of the most fateful assignments of our predecessor body, the continental congress, when a special committee was formed, something congress is great at, and that special committee included john adams, benjamin franklin and thomas jefferson. and jefferson was assigned this great task of drafting the declaration of independence. he lets -- completes his work and he comes back to the committee and he outlines his 27 grievances against the king. he's worked on it for days. and benjamin franklin and john adams review that work and they make 80 changes. 80 changes, mr. speaker. it just shows that no matter how good the author is, once it's turned over to a committee, the

ryan sat down for an interview with washington post reporter paul came. he discussed his political career and his decision to retire. this is 40 minutes. mr. kane: good morning, everyone. fred gave an amazing introduction as always. i will add a few other things for data details. paul ryan is the 54th speaker of the house, led the house for more than three years. and in a couple of weeks he'll step down.

speaker ryan called trump yesterday morning and said mr.dent, please, please, please talk up the economy. talk up the jobs report. friday they had great numbers, quarter million dollars -- quarter million jobs created last month, record-low unemployment rate for 50 years. again, the president would rather talk about immigration. >> it would be a lot to run on. the numbers are pretty clear. >> the numbers are clear. not only in the economy. you've got wage growth, that sticking point that democrat koss talk about. wage growth is the best it's been since 2009. and some other good numbers in the cnn poll. when you mix together how americans feel about the overallstate of the country very well or fairly well, it's more than half of american voters. it's 54%. that's tough for democrats to run against as well, no? >> some of the numbers i like in the poll is that dems have a 13-point advantage on the generic ballot. dems have a 27-point advantage with women and dems have a 14-point advantage with independents. you add that all up together, i thin

mr. trump, tweeting, we are watching closely. the recount deadline is thursday, but ryan nobles tells us it may last into next month. >> reporter: dave and christine, good morning from tallahassee where the recount in florida is under way. a massive effort where 8.5 million votes cast in the big elections are going to be recounted by machines in the 67 counties across the sunshine state. over the weekend, we have several developments in the recount process. the first is a trio of lawsuits filed by rick scott, the candidate for senate. one accuses the supervisor of election of counting ballots after the saturday deadline. scott is asking for the sheriffs in the counties to be responsible for the machines and impound them after recount is over. in addition to the lawsuits, we heard that in palm beach county, the supervisor of elections there says she believes it is impossible to complete the count on time. that is significant. that is a democratic strong hold and it could potentially be a spot where in the recount democrats could regain ground. if they don't get the count,

mr. sykes clarify a point earlier about paul ryan being an unconventional thinker in his attempts to breach the poverty gap between inner cities and minorities on the lower end of the economic scale. warmedms like that is over kack kemp, something jack did in the 1980's. this seemed like the romney campaign was not interested in that either. gueststing how the two see paul ryan in relation to his mentor of jack cap and whether paul ryan is that much different from jack kemp in the 1980's and 1990's. host: thank you for bringing that up. guest: it is no question that paul ryan was mentored by jack kemp. i do think there was a tremendous amount of influence and that paul ryan was trying to figure out how do you apply some of those approaches? contributions were during the 1980's. what ryan was trying to do was to extend this creative approach, this nonideological approach to dealing with aspirational growth to deal with minorities. i'm not sure that makes him congressional because jack kemp was always a little out of step with orthodox conservatives. it was very much a reform aspect of the co

mr. speaker, thanks to the leadership of president trump, thanks to the leadership of speaker ryan, thanks to the leadership of chairman kevin brady, we have a great economy. we have perhaps the greatest economy in most americans' lifetime. he unemployment at a 50-year low. rise. seeing paychecks small business optimism, consumer optimism is off the charts. it is amazing what can happen with some tax reform and regulatory reform. and i take pride not on my behalf but on behalf of the financial services committee. what we have done to take some of the shack wills off of our community banks and credit unions. but there is so much more work to be done. mr. speaker, as you probably know, the whole idea of capital formation for our entrepreneurs and small passes, traditionally, that has been a bipartisan effort. in fact, the very first of what we call jobs .0 was signed into law by president obama. and at the time, he said something along the lines that we have to from time to time -- we move the regulatory burdens to capital formation that is preventing our entrepreneurs from accessing capital

which that, talking about the economy, talking aboutjobs, which is what paul ryan apparently called him on sunday to say, please, mring about immigration. they would rather that because the economy is where his numbers are the best in polling. hisjob approval on the economy is much higher overall. when you ask which party do you trust more to handle various issues, republicans do poorly on things like health care, which is what democrats wa nt health care, which is what democrats want to talk about, but the economy isa want to talk about, but the economy is a republican strong suit. my suspicion is that the president first of all emotionally believes the immigration issue is what is based once to hear. secondly, voters don't turn up to say thank you, thank you the something you've already given us, but instead, what is coming in the future. that's why when the president talks about jobs he is also talking about jobs, not mobs, tapping into the emotional fear argument to contrast with the economic argument. you are right. paul ryan is saying this is the conventional wisdom. but as we know donald trump is a politicia

mr. president -- >> brennan: the president there speaking about abby phillips of cnn who is a very smart journalist. you also heard jim acosta, abby ryan all getting real fire from the president. what's happening here? the president always seems to be combative with the press but to many this seems a new level of aggression. >> i think that the mid-term election and the set back he suffered there has maybe changed his psychological frame and not for the better. we were used to this kind of a vexed relationship, we've had it with him from the start. but what you saw this past week was really very different order. stripping the credential of the cnn correspondent jim acosta that is something that no recent president in memory has tried to do. and the attacks, verbal attacks on april ryan, abby phillips and others are particularly, i think, problematic because the three of them are african american women. for him to say to yamish a former colleague that asking him a very valid question about his inflammatory rhetoric is somehow a racist rhetoric i think really is at some level beyond the pa pale, likewise with abby, she asked valid questi

ryan zinke under formal investigation, still in the cabinet though. some of the contradictions are simple as golf. before he was president mr.ting repeatedly about president obama's golf hobby. so far he's spent more than 160 days in office at not just golf clubs but golf clubs that bear his name. it's interesting, though, david, because we have these conversations occasionally here in the cable news space, but do people, do his supporters, do they really care? >> well, craig, i think that people care in the sense that donald trump isn't really saying any of these things. i don't think he expects to be taken seriously. he's just saying i get to play by my own set of rules. i think charlie's right. it's remarkable the way that everything he accuses other people of doing it turns out he's done. by the end of this i would not be surprised if we actually find out he was born in kenya, and i should make clear that i'm joking about that one, but seriously, that may be the only thing he's ever accused someone of doing that he has not done. the question for all of us, i think, now, is we have to say we don't take your outrage seriou

there was a story out there that paul ryan called up the president yesterday and said hey, mr.igration so much. i'm curious to see who is right in this argument some people said the polls showing focus what can do. brian: economy is going good. immigration is the thing that's got to be fixed. he has to make himself the person who can fix it. ainsley: republicans are focusing on immigration. democrats focusing on healthcare. the president has been nonstop crisscrossing this country. 11 different rallies in a matter of six days. over the weekend he hit georgia and he hit tennessee. if you missed some of what he said at these rallies, here is 1:16 seconds for you. >> there is an electricity in the air, the likes of which i and you have not seen since the '16 election. this is one of most important elections of our time. i don't know if i rated it more important than the last election, 16, but it's almost right there. democrats want to invite caravan after caravan of illegal aliens to pour into our country i don't think so. i don't think what the fake media says, that's an invasion

mr. trump telling the daily caller that he will make a decision soon on dhs secretary kyrgios contin kirstjen nielsen and also there could be changes with wilbur ross and ryan zinke. >>> pacific gas and electric says it experienced a problem with a transmission line in the area the fire in california began just before it started. that fire has killed at least 48 people so far, dozens of others are still missing. many of then their 80s and 90s. more than 8,000 buildings are destroyed, most of them were homes. >>> the three men charged with a killing 10-year-old in northeast d.c. over the summer will remain in jail, judge says there is enough evidence to keep makiyah wilson's killers there. news 4 spoke with the girl's family after the decision. >> hardo think about. r . >> report was emotional inside the courtroom. pd todaysecutors presented evidce to prove why the thre suspects should stay in jail. >> the hardest problem is seeing the videos. i never knew -- you know it is a cruel rld, but you never know people could be so khual cruel . >> reporter: this video shows them openifire, one of the bullets killing this little girl. prosecutors says quentin michae

mr. president. >> which loss last night surprised you the most? >> no follow-ups. okay. guess not. out front now, our chief correspondent for cnn, and white house correspondent for american urban radio networks, april ryank me as many follow-ups as you want. >> brian this was a major victory for cnn tonight. >> yes, that's the headline, we've been through two really strange weeks, the white house press corps has never seen anything like this, cnn's gone ahead withdrawn the lawsuit, there's no more lawsuit, and things will hopefully get back to normal, to the extent there's anything normal about the trump white house. going-forward, one of cnn's lawyers said to me, the system worked. cnn had to go to court to protect acosta's rights. but the system worked. >> jim acosta gets this letter of, hey, there's these rules, april, there's no follow-ups allowed. >> yeah. >> whatever these rules are, they were only sent to him, aand as we just showed, no one else observes them or is aware of them, and yet -- >> so what happens here, right? >> this is not the way things have ever operated at this white house. everyone's like one more question, a follow, two questions. >> and that's the issue right there. it's alrea

mr. howell in the southern tradition. >> i'm from mississippi. i know exactly what you're talking about. >> we got the texas end of that. >> we had a tough week. but i'm going to start with tim ryanpetent females who could be speaker of the house. as a competent female, i would like to say don't call me a competent female. >> i've got a targeted fallback in relation to another southern state, alabama. i want to say to former attorney general jeff sessions, fall back into a rich republican law firm or into a k street lobbying firm and make lots of money and don't fall back to alabama and run for your old senate seat -- >> where he might try to run again now that he's out of a job. >> against doug jones who is off to a good start representing the working families of alabama rather than its corporate leadership. >> that's a strong one. everyone is wondering what jeff is going to do. i am fresh back from florida today. my fall back is for the florida elections officials and brenda snipes, who i can tell you from firsthand reporting have a lot of trouble just doing the job of making sure every vote counts, which is an important job. it was all over the place. you can't even predict wh

mr. president, this is completely inappropriate, this violates the rules of engagement, this violates basic principles of proportionality. maybe it has him stopping in his tracks on that. it is interesting, wolf, our colleague ryan an interesting story out of the pentagon, which was essentially they were asked to provide for crowd control and said no. so there's clearly a disconnect happening about the proper role of the military at our border. >> it is a very significant development indeed. jackie, the president, you know, he is campaigning but the former president, barack obama, is he campaigning as well and he is telling voters not to listen, in effect not to believe what they're hearing from president trump. listen to this. >> now in 2018 they're telling you the existential threat to america is a bunch of poor refugees 1,000 miles away. they're even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt at the border, and the men and women of our military deserve better than that. a president doesn't get to decide on his own who is an american citizen and who is not. that's not how the constitution of the united states works. that's not how the bill of rights works. that's not how our democra

ryan. he was against the investigation from the get-go. he didn't want this to happen. kevin mccarthy didn't want it to happen. until recently. so, now, unless congress is willing to hold mrwith the threat of contempt, he's not going to show up. >> dagen: one reason, let's be clear, he wanted to be out in public it open. because he is norma desmond prayed he's ready for his close that. he's looking for the spotlight, 24/7. [laughter] i'm joking. i'm joking! >> there is some of that. >> dagen: the issues with him, number one -- talking about anything that is classified in a public setting. that would be the argument, for doing it behind closed doors. bob goodlatte of the judiciary committee wrote an editorial in the richmond times dispatch in august of this year, outlining what does it play? he writes the first sentence, "our investigation is about assuring our justice system treats everyone equally under the law. a goal that those on both sides of the political spectrum should support." i think that kind of lays it out. equal application of the law. >> steve: they are trying to figure out what went into the decision making at the department of justice, and the fbi, which

paul ryan got done wit, the middle class, the average working person, got very little, if nothing, except a big debt. moderator: there's a clear difference between you two, let's hear your rebuttal. mr. morrissey: he's saying it now because election season. but president trump when we comes in tomorrow for the rally, he'll talk about the trump tax cut, what's it's doing for west virginia. senator manchin votes against west virginia when his vote is needed he would have to wait, you have to get chuck schumer's permission before he votes. that's not the leadership we need from west virginia. the fact is that senator man it is chin offered to work with the president , he didn't follow through because you can't trust him no one in west virginia, regardless of political parties and regardless of the issue, we saw it in kavanaugh because he not only disowned west virginians he actually didn't live up to his word. moderator: attorney general morrissey, republican leaders in congress, including mitch mcconnell are talking about changes to entitle. programs and also social security. as a way to get the debt under control. we're talking about the debt that would include tough decisions such a

paul ryan got done wit, the middle class, the average working person, got very little, if nothing, except a big debt. moderator: there's a clear difference between you two, let's hear your rebuttal. mr. morrissey: he's saying it now because election season. but president trump when we comes in tomorrow for the rally, he'll talk about the trump tax cut, what's it's doing for west virginia. it is good policy. the fact remains that senator manchin always votes against west virginia. he would have to wait, he has to get chuck schumer's position before he votes. that is not the leadership we need. the fact is that senator manchin offered to work with the president but did not come through because you cannot trust him. virginia, we saw it in cap, he not only this owns virginians, he did not live up to his word. republican leaders are talking about changes to entitlement as a way to get the debt under control. that would include tough decisions such as raising the retirement age, raising the cap on the amount that is taxed for social security. you believe that they need to be reformed, and if so, can you give me at least one concrete thing that could be done that would get these entitlemen
