mulvaney. good to see you and grateful for your service. really enjoyed serving with you here and grateful for the work you're doing at cfpb a ton of work, i can't imagine but grateful for your willingness and the good things that are happening in overwhelmingly the response i'm hearing from my constituents is gratitude. a lot of my community banks and others recognize the good work you're doing of bringing some accountability to a bureau that has been totally unaccountable. so thank you for that. two specific things. thank you pore revisiting the home mormg disclosure act regulations, i agree with the principle of reporting this to fight discrimination and our roles should recognize the cost. potentially unnecessary and burdensome reporting of information and potential privacy issues if this information were made public. i want to thank you for revisiting portions of the prepaid card rule in extending the effective date. i believe some regulations are appropriate. especially consumer-friendly

-- mulvaney has two jobs.he head of the omb and he's running your agency. are you offended he's working both jobs at the same time when that was your full job? >> i think it's wrong. the agency's supposed to be independent of the politics and the administration. they're putting a political person who reports directly to the president in charge of the agency. that's just wrong. >> and the design from the beginning, right? was that it wasn't like that. >> that is correct. it's supposed to be independent of politics. it's supposed to be looking out for the consumer. it's supposed to be like the federal reserve. it's independent is politics. but that's not the way they're running it, and it's just wrong. >> you're running for governor in ohio, and it's an interesting political time. ohio's a state that donald trump won by quite a bit. you've been elected there statewide before. it's also a time when unemployment is quite low in historical terms. we've started to see a bit of wage growth. the economy is growing. wh

the hard right, the mulvaney wing of the republican party seems to have the upper hand against what most americans want furthermore leader mcconnell and i am chairman shelby and vice chair leahy we had a good meeting. i think doing these types of rescissions in the senate would sour the ability to get it done. thank you everybody.

s mick mulvaney caught on tape saying access to him had to be bought. he wasn't even ashamed. even the president's personal attorney, michael cohen, who doesn't work in the white house, was cashing checks in exchange for access and influence into the trump white house. michael cohen's pay to play scheme is a stark reminder of the glaring need to take real action. not just rhetoric, but action, with actual teeth. to bring accountability and transparency to washington. so, the question becomes, what are democrats going to do about it? as leader pelosi mentioned, as my colleagues will detail, the american people deserve a better deal for our democracy and democrats plan to make that happen. you've heard from us since last july about our bold, sharp-edged economic agenda. put simply, real progress can actually -- in actually -- and actually delivering for the hardworking men and women of this country won't come until we're able to finally loosen the vice grip that special interests have over washington republicans and the trump administration. we need to strengthen our nation's et

we will speak with mick mulvaney coming out. the white house on a neighbor spending package today to cut spending by 15 points for billion dollars. half the cuts would come with two accounts within the children's health insurance program and additional 800 million would come from money created by obamacare. senators are expressing doubts on their package. listen to this. >> i believe i'm talking about on the biz. $15 billion is a lot of money. would see the merits of it. nobody see the details. >> i'm going to support it. it's going to have a tough time in the senate. >> we know that because mitch mcconnell previously poured cold water on the rescissions package. what is your take on this? you've been pointing out an incredible spending leading a trillion dollars deficit for a long time. >> this was money allocated that never spend. again, a political move for the base. i follow trump supporters clearly on twitter day in and day out. i've never seen anything anchor them that the president did more than him saying in the omnibus

that mulvaney says he's supportive of the speaker.ccarthy said he never talked to mulvaney about it. should house republicans plan a mutiny? >> we always hear about plans for a mutiny whenever there is a speaker's race. paul ryan will likely finish out his term as speaker of the house. kennedy: he won't get pushed out of the way? >> i don't know. if you want a friend, get a dog. i doubt mccarthy will push paul ryan out. >> money talks. paul ryan brought in $11.9 million. put up or shut up. everybody else who wants that job. they won't move him out as long as they need to raise money for these mid-term elections which are going to be contentious. we need paul ryan to finish and have a le tonight mat open-run election. kennedy: is there a benefit to chaos? >> the last republican speaker. dennis hastert we can't discuss on air. so this is quite a cast of characters. kennedy: i love paul rino. i think he has turned his back on his principles. >> in 2020 romney needed to. kennedy: you are good friends and you are delightful people. thank y

of management and budget director mick mulvaney joins us now to react. good morning to you. what is your reaction to that should they abolishes cbo. >> where was my clip bashing the cbo. i have done that a dozen times. counting receipts coming. in very simple where we struggle with the cbo generally where they project out to the future and you will the reports they released this week not the one of the best receipts of the history. single best month in the history of the united states government. that's just counting of money that's coming. in that's usually a pretty solid number. treasury will follow up on that by the end of this week and our guess is those numbers are probably pretty being a rat. brian: had you a mandate from the president. i couldn't know set about signing the omnibus bill. look at this again and cut some money out. you found some money. $15 billion. where did you find it? where was it and is it enough? >> it's never enough. for me i would have done a lot more if i could have found it money is everywhere quite literally. resend old spending. money that pr

it seems that mulvaney is saying payday lenders are okay.department of education we're saying for profit education, not going to look at it anymore. it's different things to say the bureaucratic process doesn't work and we're going to let it rip again. if we let it rip again, that's when we're in trouble. >> mulvaney has gotten a lot of financial support as a member of congress for payday lenders in. this is not a strictly substantive decision. these are largely political decisions made by somebody who was trying to appease industries that he's been friendly to when he was a member of congress. >> i can understand the argument to tighten up the dodd frank. but vulka rule is specifically about banks who describe as hedge funds. banks should be here to make markets for investors. they should be here for lending practices. they're not there to be able to go to the fdic window and have traders rolling it around. you should do that in the asset management universe. what's the argument to say let's get rid of that rule? banks are making plenty of

i think that what myck mulvaney said was reasonable. people say things in private meetings that they would not say publicly. i understand why sarah sanders who condemned the remark in that private meeting that jonathan was talking about was unacceptable. she did not say it and she's trying to run a staff. i get all that but where does the ugliness comes from, why are people expressing views of this kind towards national hero and not to mention he's a member of the president's party who's g v gravely ill with brain cancer. that comes from the person who is in charge of the white house, that's donald trump. >> okay. that's enough on that subject. quickly, i do want to get to haspel. take a listen. >> you have to sort of pride the information out of her. we had a close session for three hours after that meeting and the answers were not anymore forthcoming and i got very frustrated and felt that in some way they were worth than the public hearing. >> quickly to both of you, is she going to pass the confirmation hearing. we learned that joe

i talked to director mulvaney about the package, i've talked to leader maccarthy who was leading the effort in the house. , think it the end of the day we are seeing this as step one of several processes that may be multiple rescissions packages. >> is that what director mulvaney has relayed to you? rep. meadows: it is. maybe we've made news the third time here. >> would they be outside the scope of the recently passed fiscal 2019 budget? rep. meadows: i think right now this package was definitely tailored to say you have people making an agreement on appropriations and so the package would just was not designed to touch any of the $1.3 trillion. i did not vote for that package as you know. i did not have a problem with moving backwards, but that being said i think there was some concern that we addressed and went back on a deal made in a bipartisan matter. that's white was addressed that way. why it was addressed the wet -- that way. there is a good chance you get appropriators on board. i think there's a good chance you get conference members on board and i think so you get tuesday

office of management and budget director mick mulvaney revealed "i have talked with kevin about thisvately but not as much publicly." mccarthy says a weekly standard reports called "a coup in the offing" is completely untrue. paul has my total support. news comes today the 20 20 republicans trying to go around ryan to force a series of votes, including a daca fix. a week after the ryan-backed farm bill failed. >> we have conservatives and moderates and they have to curate the balance. >> a ryan spokesperson tells fox "this conference has always had its ups and downs on the speaker will continue to move us forward." ryan himself has argued that members should want him around for as long as possible because he makes them so much money. >> makes no sense to take the biggest fund-raiser of the field. >> strategists see a potential positive swapping speakers before the midterms, and the plans are reached the trump administration because director mulvaney said this week" wouldn't it be great to force a democrat running a tight race to have to put up or shut up about voting for nancy pelosi

mulvaney, as you know, also addressed the issue of the leaks in the white house. he said about that. >> what happened with the mccain comment yesterday or two days ago, i lose track of time, was different. it was a private meeting and the leak was designed to hurt that person. also, completely ignored the harm it would do to the mccain family, which is doubly inconsiderate. that is a problem. i put that in a different classification and doesn't surprise me that stuff leaks about a cabinet meeting. the press is in there for some of that meeting and a private meeting and someone who has a throw away comment and bad joke and to have that intentionally, that's troubling and i hope to get to the bottom of that one. >> the upticks of leaks overall. how unprecedented is this? >> well, alalex, you did a terrifterrif ic and i agree with what jonathan said. this is the normal. and i think that that is an important point here. you see the white house trying to make this a story about leaks. that becomes a story about the media which is one of trump's favorite topics. i think

months perhaps yes i think that what we need to look at as we move ahead is the pattern that the mulvaney led biro has shown so far and even to your point before the wells matter there were several enforcement actions that were alive and well there was a ninth circuit appeal on a payday matter that the bureau filed under the mulvaney led staff there was a fifth circuit appeal and all american chack there was a district of montana action and payday that was an amended complaint and think finance so there is a lot of activity but it's not necessarily being highlighted by the bureau's press office at the moment well maybe they want to act like they're not on the side of consumers i don't i don't really i cannot figure it out this matrix yet but it sure different than anything i've seen recently i can't thank you enough for being with us it sure is nice of you jenny lee thank you so much a.q. sorry shape having me. a u.s. national security review has raised concerns about a trainee state run conglomerate taking control of the massive container terminal in long beach california or to correspon

mccarthy is denying something mulvaney admitted on the record. they have spoken or they haven't.sn't telling the truth. will the truth teller please stand up. >> yeah, i think it is getting increasingly difficult for kevin mccarthy and his allies to deny that they have at least had conversations about what they i think view as an untenable situation with paul ryan. the argument i think that you are hearing is that it is going to be difficult as the november elections approach for paul ryan to raise money for republican candidates, and as we're already seeing for him to be a functional leader in the republican party. and i think ryan allies are saying, no, that he has proved position to be a really excellent fundraiser, but also that you don't want to have a leadership election in the months leading -- what would be a divisive leadership election in the months leading up to the election. >> and what they have now is not divisive at all, right? if the election would make things messy, so let's be divided and have things messy i guess. in this meeting today, speaker said everybody t

we have omb director mick mulvaney anxious to keep sending out will request over to capitol hill but this is the first and arwant their story with is the least controversial that they can come up with. as i said these cutbacks were not in the program that brings you here is taunt democrats indisputably that came from president obama. democrats as you heard is saying we will not go ahead with this idea but in reality this is something that both parties have agreed to in the past. last under george w. bush but for this package its prospects in the house rp good and there are a couple of republicanty reported making noise about it but on the whole i think you will see the vast majority of republicans sign onto this particularly after the cbo report basically gave them permission to do this since there's no cuts going to be impacted in the senate it's up in the air. we don't know right now if there is not a single democrat supporting this which i wouldn't alexpect given the target of chp funds butyo you will have to see the majority leader mitch mcconnell really do arm-twisting to get ev

the hard right, the mulvaney wing of the republican party seems to have the upper hand against what most americans want furthermore leader mcconnell and i am chairman shelby and vice chair leahy we had a good meeting. i think doing these types of rescissions in the senate would sour the ability to get it done. thank you everybody. [inaudible] an important issue in my state is that there seems to be a division that's being promoted in our citizenry and perhaps it's even international concerns a lot of people. it's important to remind the citizens of washington that if you get an opportunity to talk to each other more than likely will find its very similar and we should try to remember that. [inaudible] >> i lived in olympia washington and one issue to me is the death penalty. i want to abolish it. i think we can put money into education and other resources that would be better served. >> an important issue in my state is education for the children. i believe they are our future leaders and we need to have the funding to do that. that's one of the top issues that we have today.

under director mulvaney, we are going in the opposite direction.evin: deutsche bank is considering laying off 20% of u.s. half. there is a major piece of legislation in the works, obviously, from the senate that has a stance on tweaking dodd-frank. is there any update on timing about when the dodd-frank overhaul or fix, call it what you want, might get floor time or a vote in the house of representatives, and do you have any comments on joyce and bank -- deutsche bank? >> sooner rather than later is when we will see senate bill 2155 come over to the house. i am proud to say that when you look at the deregulation provisions, two thirds of it, maybe even three quarters started from the house. personally, i have been holding up the bill because i have been holding up many other bipartisan provisions that i would like to have included. the senate has let it be known that they did not want it to be included in the bill, but they would let our other bipartisan capital formation provisions go to the floor with that bill in commitment. i released 2155 to t

is simply not feasible to say we are going to deport everybody, and in fact i've asked director mulvaney from the budget office, the congressional budget office as well, what would be the effects of a richest -- of a restrictive immigration policy. it would destroy our economy, industries across the countrya in agriculture, fruit and food. all of these industries would collapse, and it would be a huge moral blow to families because we have so many mixed status families now. we have people who are friends with those folks, so we need a real solution. it is unfortunate this president and republicans have continued to demonize immigrants and lead chance where the president will say the word latino and people will do. -- will boo. that is deeply troubling to me as a country because we all came from somewhere. the president's wife came from somewhere. we need to make sure the system functions so people can get in and it is legal and we know who year. host: our guest is a member of the judiciary subcommittee. caller: i used to be a progressive because the progressives seems to care about the e

but the fact that mulvaney is leaking stuff like that suggests how much pressure there is against ryanw much the trump white house would still like him out of there. >> e.j. dionne, thanks for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. >> great to be with you. thanks. >>> tonight's last word is next. . and we got to know the friends of our friends. and we found others just like us. and just like that we felt a little less alone. but then something happened. we had to deal with spam, fake news, and data misuse. that's going to change. from now on, facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy. because when this place does what it was built for, then we all get a little closer. which is why i use armor tall ultra shine wash wipes.y. they effectively remove dirt, dust and grime with no water. that car is in tip top shape! we are both in tip top shape! armor all, it's easy to look good. ♪now i'm gonna tell my momma ♪that i'm a traveller ♪i'm gonna follow the sun♪ ♪now i'm gonna tell my momma ♪that i'm a traveller ♪i'm gonna follow the sun transitions™ light under control™

he's still got problems with zinke and pruitt, mulvaney, mnuchin.i was under my questioning just a week ago with director mulvaney, he was talking about he wasn't going to hold back anything in the investigation of pruitt. well, now we understand in his own words last week that apparently white house policy was for sale. so he's standing in a waist-high swamp and he's loading water into it. i guess my belief is he's tired of general kelly telling him what to do and this is his way of getting rid of him in a way. >> all right, but interesting that you say not even a sure thing. he's got to be one of the best known people that might say yes to this at this point. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein of course is overseeing the mueller probe, as you know. he is fighting back against a group of pro-trump house members who want to fire him. formally impeach the deputy attorney general. that would have massive impact on the investigation, right? you get rid of rod rosenstein and then you can fire bob mueller. here is what rosenstein said about that

is dying anyway, and then this morning on the fox news, the office of management and budget nick mulvaney did try to justify the comments. >> and the remarks are awful, but this is a context of the private meeting in the white house, and you might say something nasty about me off of the air, and it is not that much impact, and you come on air and say it officially, and now that is a problem. and this is a private meeting inside of the white house, and a joeshgs and badly considered joke, and a joke that fell flat. >> and now, jonathan swan is saying that turmoil is growing following the white house staff following the leaks of the comments. and visibly upset kerry sanders leaked the comment saying that i am sure that this conversation is going to leak, too, and that is just disgusting, too, and it did leak. and also n that same meeting, the communications director mercedes shlap said that i stand with kelly sadler, and when contacted which nbc news, she did not deny that comment. and now, we go to grace rou who is a reporter for new york 1, and charlie savidge who is a msnbc contributor,

play what nick mulvaney said yesterday about this matter. >> i think the remarks are awful but look at this in context. that was said in a private meeting, inside the white house. you have to have some freedom to speak in a private meeting, to speak candidly. we've all said things in private, especially in smaller groups we work with we would never say publicly. i'm disappointed that someone would skruundermine the presidey leaking that out of a private meeting. >> do you think what was said was a reflection of the tone this president is setting in the white house? >> sure feels that way. i mean, the fact they're not willing to apologize in some ways endorses these sorts of statements, but i mean, nick mulvaney is my friend, known him a long time. what you've just said is number one, somebody in the white house said something awful and we're not going to apologize to it. number two, this place is completely dysfunctional. we don't have control over our own white house. not sure how that explains away what was really a crass, hurtful comment
