house speaker paul ryan is talking.let's listen live. >> i want to commend all the republicans and democrats who have come together to advance this legislation. this has been a long time in coming. any of you who have reported on this scandal over the last few years know how entrenched the problems at the veterans administration really are. this legislation is one of, if not the biggest -- >> that is house speaker paul ryan talking about some veterans legislation that they are pushing. you heard cathy mcmorris rodgers on this program yesterday talking about the same. she is there at the press conference as well. anna, let's pick up where we left off and ashley on the conservative reaction to bob mueller. >> it's a little bit of political gymnastics. you saw ggricgo for him, against him and now for him. the trump interpreters are trying to figure out where exactly trump will end up so they can be on the right side of this. >> the one counter point is that, for someone who made his name by saying "you're fired" the presid

speech on tax reform from the house speaker paul ryan this afternoon. you'll see that. that and healthcare strategy making a lot of headlines on the hill already today. earlier i spoke with the house speaker, paul ryan, about that and more. mr. speaker, good morning. and welcome back to "america's newsroom." >> good morning. >> bill: thank you for your time. the big issue for you today is tax reform but let's talk about healthcare in the senate. a lot of action overnight last night. mitch mcconnell wants a vote by the fourth of july. democrats will do everything they can to shut it down. what happens now do you think? >> what mitch mcconnell said. they'll bring the vote up. they'll have a lot of amendments they'll dispose of. that's the legislative process. we're pleased the senate is moving forward on healthcare reform. obamacare is in the middle of the tailspin. the law is collapsing before our eyes. your home state of ohio, 18 counties will go without a health insurer in the exchange next year 94 to 99 counties in iowa. we have to rescue it and we're excited the sena

if ryan's -- >> here is the thing about russia paul ryan was exactly right.doing their work when we are all watching and obsessed about these hearings yes, they do their work, once their work is done, that's when you got to get attention of the other members. if you cannot do that, that delays the process >> take what you can, right now business and growth and boom just do it and stay-at-home. >> you have been saying that >> work something. [ laughter ] >> did not work in kansas. >> thank you guys. lets get back to the big market story of the day oil, the commodity falling of 40 buck as barrel energy tf, the ticker now is on its worst day of lower than 1% can you invest in this sector or stay away. lets bring in our wolf senior analyst, good to have you there, paul sankey. >> we are in the middle of summer and u.s. refinery is blowing a full blast right now we are dropping right when we should be approaching of the highs of the here. it is pretty scary we need some tightening in this market which we'll see tonight through the api and data, for the past couple

paul ryan has been out there. vice president pence, kevin mccarthy, sonny perdue former governor, agriculture secretary. they were campaigning on her behalf not the president himself. did she not want him to or he not want to do it himself, what? >> well, president was here, neil. actually i was proud to be in the room with the president and karen when he came in as a part of his effort to support and applaud the nra. so look, at the base element, neil, this remains -- neil: that was an nra event, right? >> well, then afterwards, it was a karen handel event. that is where i was and proudly attended. at end of the day, neil, this is local election. we've got trump republicans. we have moderate republicans. we have conservative republicans from the entire spectrum coming out today for karen. she will secure victory. for those tax cuts you talked about, speaker ryan wants to make permanent, if you're for that, vote for karen handel. ife for the countr continuing momentum, lk at the dow today. a vote for karen is type

paul ryan in that same election blew out his competitor who was a guy named ryan solin.ook at paul ryan's vote percentage, percentage of vote he won going all the way back to 1998, they have been pretty much blowouts, won by 57%. lowest he got was 54.9 in 2012. he is usually in the mid-60s. what makes you think you can beat him? >> well, i would just look at the launch we had. i knew it was going to be success. . i had no idea it would blow up as big as it did. it is not some outstanding message that people have never heard before, but it is a message that people really want to hear. it's about bringing, you know, diversity of the district together to make sure that we all stand united as working people and everybody is heard. i talked about making a bigger table and this includes demanding that we have people sitting across from us that we're not used to seeing. so it is a message of uniting everybody and just the way it blew up across the country, not just in the first district. people are dying to be heard. with speaker ryan's absence over 600 days, people want to be

from paul ryan and democratic leader nancy pelosi. we'll join nancy on capitol hill with that part of the story. >> reporter: i can tell you that members of congress reacted with applause when they learned the baseball game will goen tomorrow as skej -- go on tomorrow as scheduled. one congressman from california said the congressional baseball game is on. we will play for charity but also for the victims and heroic officers who took down the shooter. there were many members who felt it was symbolically important that this game take place as planned. so that members of congress could show they were not daunted by this act of violent and so they could show their respects for the people who were injured. now we are awaiting paul ryan to speak on the house floor but in the meantime bernie sanders is speaking on the senate floor. let's take a listen. >> congressional staff and the capitol police officers who full recovery. i also want to thank the capitol police for their huroric actions to prevent further harm. thank you. >> reporter: so

we are awaiting paul ryan to speak on the house floor so in the meantime, bernie sanders is speaking on the that the staff. >> congressional staff and congress members who were wounded, i want to thank capital police for their heroic action to prevent further harm. thank you, madam president. >> a brief comment from bernie sanders on the that the flee.the shooter as we know had expressed messages of support for sanders on his social media pages. and sanders has responded by saying that he has prayers for all of the victims. and is asking everyone to come together. members of the house are now streaming onto the house floor, which is going to be opening any minute now with a prayer, and with speeches, both from the house speaker, paul ryan and the house minority leader, nancy pelosi. they all just received a briefing from the house sergeant at arms about security at the capitol in the wake of today's happenings. now they're coming together to hear what their leaders have to say. we all know that paul ryan who sleeps most nights at the capitol as many members do, was in the gym, when h

we have yet to see that with paul ryan. steve mnuchin the treasury secretary saying they are having good talks, meeting every week, moving forward. but we have got to see them doing something differently that paul ryan has not done for the generation he has been in office. he's saying we have the first time in a generation to be able to make a difference. but he had that kind of time before. now the challenge is to do more than talk or pander and actually do the hard work. gerri: here is what he said with scoring on that plan, wait would mean for the economy. 1.7 million more jobs. 8% hike in wages, and 9% growth in the economy. what do you make of that. is that just happy talk or is that real? >> it's largely real. i think there is tremendous opportunity for businesses that we can't even imagine. the stock market is somewhat begging the potential of the tax reform into what we have seen, which has been tremendous. as a business owner i own many companies. having the certainty of knowing the corporate tax is going to be low

we saw browsing bipartisan standing ovation for paul ryan and nancy pelosi. eaker ryan talked about how an attack on one of us, an attack on all of us, rousing ovation in the chamber for that. nancy pelosi talked about her special connection with mr. shot today, ass a fellow italian-american. before that we heard president trump gives a measured, very sort of unifying speech, saying now is the time to cherish the ones we love. it has dialed down the temperature on the hill today. it's likely to be that way in the short-term. i spoke to senator lindsey graham, a republican of south carolina, who did suggest if there is a debate about whether to change the laws, specifically as it relates to guns, he does not expect that dynamic to change. what he told me and a few other reporters is that people get shot, people get stabbed, people get run over. at the end of the day, we not going to infringe on people's rights. that debate is going to end as it is. he said the best thing lawmakers can do is move on, continue to do their work. it's tragic, but they have to conti

so i don't have full confidence what paul ryan has to say.y concerned about donald trump, because this is a guy that, you know, came to prominence over a couple things, but namely, over the phrase "you're fired." so, if anybody thinks that what's going on on the hill today is going to affect donald trump's thought process, i think you're sorely mistaken. >> all right, doug hye, i want to read you what rod rosenstein read as he was asked directly, if he was asked to fire bob mueller, what would he do? he said "i'm not going to follow any orders, unless i believe those orders are lawful." and previously before, remember, he said he sees no cause to fire bob mueller. he goes on to say "if there was good cause, i would consider it. if there were not good cause, it wouldn't matter what anybody says." that's a marker, doug. >> yep. >> if rod rosenstein said i do not see any cause, and if i was ordered to do it with no cause, i flat out wouldn't do it. that seems to be a marker. >> that's absolutely a marker. look, there's a little bit of wiggle roo

paul ryan saying there will be a move in a dramatic move. they realized, they didn't have the votes and didn't want to put up a bill only to fail. i think we will -- it is still unknown whether we could see a similar scenario play out in the senate. right now things feel very unknown because we haven't seen the bill passed. we hear things from the senators. we talk to about the various suggestions they have to proposals. once we get the bill pass, which i think is coming on friday, we will get a better sight what particular issues senators have and if there are 50 votes. host: i know probably suggest that all these issues have been resolved. i don't know if that's the case. is that the case as far as major issues. what are the sticking points. guest: they're working through key issues of medicaid has been a challenging issue for the republican senators. there are a number of republican senators who represent states that participate in medicaid expansion and their quite worried about the effects it would have on constituents. we went through

it's pretty clear what paul ryan is going to say this morning. he was previewing it. >> reporter: that's right. they are not putting much stock in the cbo score. republicans are casting doubt on whether this is something that should be relied upon and whether or not the bill should move forward. we want to hear what the house has to say if the senate bill does make it through that side of the capitol and make it back over here. are they going to push through a vote as quickly as friday and have the health care bill done before everybody leaves for the fourth of july break. they have a lot of hand wringing to do before they get to that point. because there are so many changes, it's a much different bill from when they left this side of the capitol. is house leadership concerned with the changes? the changes don't go far enough. kevin mccarthy is expected to be here as well. their opinions matter. it's not their turn at bat in terms of the legislative process. whether or not the bill gets pushed through, it has to come back here for one more passag

paul ryan is not being honest with the american public. stephanie, you were talking about families sitting around the kitchen table, worried about health care, when they get sick they want to see a doctor. affordable care is not perfect, let's make it better and make it more affordable but let's not take health care away from 24 million americans. we talk about families and one of the conversations we've been having has been about medicaid aechb the number of people who are covered by medicaid. i want to put the screen up here, 20% of all americans are covered by medicaid. to miker spierer's point, we talk about how the state exchanges are imploding and 39% of all children are covered and 49% as ari melber said of all births and 64% of nursing home residents are covered by medicaid. it has its problems but in fact in terms of a distribution of health care mechanism it's not bad. >> it's not. it's working for a lot of americans, particularly your oldest sickest americans, that need health care the most. the affordable care act is working in

paul ryan will make a big pitch for major tax reform today. he's calling this a generation opportunity. and the most spent on a congressional election in history, it's in georgia to fill tom price's old seat. we'll discuss the fallout from otto warmbier, the american held captive by the north koreans for a year and a half. and it's a big day for america. we've only got three hours to cover it, "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ . >> otto warmbier has just passed away. he spent a year and a half in north korea. a lot of bad things happened. but at least we've got him home to be with his parents, with are they were so happy to see him, even though he was in very tough condition, but he just passed away a little while ago. it's a brutal regime and we'll be able to handle it. >> well, that was president trump commenting on the death of north korean detainee otto warmbier. take a look, oil prices are at a new low, the supply a major concern, hasn't been this much since november of last year. for many people, the good news, silver lining, the n

two-part interview with speaker paul ryan. >> mr. speaker, while you were in your series of meetings, the cbo came out with a score. you ne knew it was coming out a brief look shows over a course of 10 year period you will save 321 billion off the deficit. however 22 million will be without coverage. >> >> what they are basically saying at the congressional budget office is if you are not going to force people to buy obamacare. if you are not going to force people to buy something they don't want, then they won't buy it it's not that people are getting pushed off the plan. it's that people will choose not to buy something they don't like or want. and that's the difference here. so, by repealing the individual and employer mandate, which mandates people buy this health insurance that they can't afford that they don't like, if you don't mandate they are going to do this, then that many people won't do it. it says if states don't expand medicaid in the future, then fewer people will go on medicaid in the state if you don't expand it in

lou: joining me to talk about the republican leadership and paul ryan.dio talk show host mark simone, and rachel campos-duffy. rachel, what do you make of paul ryan? what is that, please, mr. president. mitch mcconnell, let's walk blindly into the alligators at the edge of the swamp. rachel: it's important to know these hearings would not have happened if the republicans, the republican chairman of these committees had not allowed them to happen. i don't believe for a second with as little evidence put forward about collusion. i don't believe in a second in the reverse situation a democrat in charge, they would have never let the hearings go through. this is a classic case of republicans trying to be so independent and trying to appeal to i don't know what, the media? it doesn't matter. lou: rachel, i'm absolutely thrilled. you are speaking truth to the american people. you could versus easily have been partisan and said that they weren't. but said exactly the truth. you left out mcconnell and ryan and the role they played. but this is ridiculous. for tw

but at least he didn't step up to the microphone and just quit the way paul ryan did when paul ryan was forced to pull his first health care bill off of the house floor. mitch mcconnell is not in the same place that paul ryan was when ryan suffered his first-round defeat on a health care bill. this does not mean that it's all over in the senate, but it does not mean that mitch mcconnell can do what paul ryan was eventually able to do, which was find a so-called compromise that allowed conservatives in the house of representatives to ignore their so-called principles and vote for the repeal and replacement of obamacare. for mitch mcconnell doing that, reviefrning this bill the way paul ryan did in the house of representatives, is literally ten times more difficult. ten times more difficult for mitch mcconnell than it was for paul ryan. paul ryan could afford to lose 20 republican votes in the house of representatives. mitch mcconnell can afford to lose two. so far, publicly mitch mcconnell has lost nine votes. nine republicans were ready to vote against mitch mcconnell's bill if he broug

paul ryan believes in total utter self-reliance. >> at one point i understand he made his staff read an. >> a shrug probably. >> correct. correct. and he was talking about makers and takers. well, you know, i've spent the last 20 years of my life and all my neighbors have spent the last 20 years of their lives contributing to our society, contributing to the first congressional district, building things, you know, and not only is he taking stuff away from us but he won't face us. if we want to find out what's going on in washington, we had to ask representative mark pulcan to come in. we had two meetings that were packed, people just dying to know what's going on, and we have no idea. as i said before -- >> what do you mean, you said 600 days you haven't seen him. that's a strong indictment. where's ryan been for 600 days. that's two years? >> he hasn't had any public town halls within that time. it's been over 600 days. but he's had over 50 events. some events where he'll charge $10,000 to have a picture taken with him. >> i'm going to ask you a technical question. lawyers are unique

and capitol hill isn't just buzzing about paul ryan's promise.just the last half hour, mitch mcconnell gave us a window on how the gop health care plan vote is going. >> we're going to make every effort to pass a bill that dramatically changes the current health care law. liz: mcconnell went on to say he plans to release a quote discussion draft of the health care bill. this is coming on thursday, but he didn't comment on whether it will pass. is this too much of a rush? and will a bill be written by just 13 gop senators passing the senate? we bring in congressman, republican congressman from tennessee and co-chair. so you have to wait, representative. i guess on the details until thursday; correct? >> that's correct. i think, liz, we pretty much know what it is. the details to be worked out, and i think many members, more than 13 had input into this bill. >> hold on a second. you know pretty much what the details are? can you share those with our viewers? >> no. it has been behind closed doors, but we know the parameters of which we're going to

>> bill: paul ryan is up next. the status of healthcare in congress, tax reform and the rest of the republican agenda is next. >> don't forget here what we're doing. we're repealing and replacing a law that is collapsing and want to replace it with a healthcare system that's better so people have lower prices and access to affordable healthcare. i don't know why i didn't get screened a long time ago. i kept putting it off... what was i thinking? ok, mr. jones... we're all done. i told you it was easy. with life line screening, getting screened for unknown health conditions is so quick, painless and affordable, you'll wonder why you hadn't done it before. so if you're over age 50, call now and schedule an appointment near you. for just $149- a savings of over 50%- you'll receive a package of five screenings that go beyond your doctor's annual check-up. ultrasound technology looks inside your arteries for plaque that builds up as you age and increases your risk of stroke and heart disease. after all, 4 out of 5 peopl

paul ryan at noon. then also, sometime in the afternoon, we are expecting another briefing by police officials in alexandria, police and fbi and capitol hill police of the shows on the latest details. a lot more to come on the shooting. afternoon, andis two: 30 with janet yellen's's conference, the real issue for people on wall street. vonnie: thank you for that. a congressional reporter for bloomberg news. let's change focus for a moment outside of breaking news. like $45 per barrel after the announcement, crude inventories fell one point six 6 million barrels last week. julie has got the latest. how is loyal responding? >> it is down more than 3.5%. below $45 per barrel. not only was the overall drop in , perhaps inventories more importantly, we were getting more signs of the summer driving season is weaker than it typically is. gasoline rise for a second straight weekend demand fell about one half of 1%. if you not a good sign are on oil or gasoline for that matter. that is what have account for the

particularly there's no way to defend it the way paul ryan did.as a matter of fact, speaker ryan admitted the president did something wrong when he said he is new to this. >> congress member. stand by. i want to play that for you so you are up to speed on what you are talking about. >> sure. >> the president's new at this. he is new to government and so he probably wasn't steeped in the long running proptocols tha established between the doj and fbi and white house. he is new to this. i think what i got out of the testimony is we now know why he was so frustrated when the fbi director told him three times there's no investigation of him. yet that speculation was allowed to continue. we know why he was frustrated. >> for paul ryan who has been around the hill for a very long time. he takes his integrity and his job seriously. to boil it down to the fact that the president never saw schoolhouse rock and understood how these three executive office works along with judicial and works along with the congressional side of things. is that really a justif

>> right. >> that is something paul ryan holds dear.der adjustment tax is central to his policy. trish: that is messed up. that is what we're saying. he has to let it go. >> president trump assevers source, white house staff are saying they won't go along with it. the challenge for the republican party like mercedes is saying find a plan revenue neutral. if you add to the deficit you can -- americans are tired of short-term solutions. >> yes. but i will say the whole reason that this is an issue paul ryan wants the tax cuts to be permanent. only way to make them permanent if they are revenue neutral. therefore you have to offset them. he thinks you can do that with border tax. trish: fundamentally this goes back to econ 101, our good friend, art laffer, the laffer curve, you grow the economy, thereby you grow tax revenue. that is how it works. the more we produce, more money we all make, the more money the government the will have. you don't need to raise taxes to do that. you lower taxes. first time on the show, erin. >> thank you. tri

i'm sitting here with speaker of the house, paul ryan, republican of wisconsin and house minority leader, nancy pelosi of california. if you're wondering about their outfits, the louisiana insignias are in honor of steve scalise still in the hospital and paul ryan is wearing a capitol police shirt. the first ever joint interview. >> it is, isn't it? didn't know that. >> you should feel free to come by sunday morning, we have another one maybe. let me ask you, speaker ryan, steve scalise is a friend of yours and president trump said he's in a fight here. this must be very tough on a personal level? >> it is. we spend everything on a personal level. our families are close. he's in the hospital and has a ways to go. we are pulling for him. the kids are here. he is a baseball player and supposed to start second base today. he is being missed and we are praying for steve and the family is giving him the support we need. >> your speech on the house yesterday, i can't believe it was only yesterday, your speech as if there were no parties anymore, members of the house of representatives. >> we'r

that's not a coincidence at all. >> we'll take paul ryan in just a second. he's giving a statement and when he starts to take questions, we'll dip into this. why is this deadline happening? this thing seems to be going in the wrong direction right now for the white house. we saw overnight the pendulum start to swing away from where they wanted it to be. why the rush? will that change? >> i think today is critically important for that and the messaging that pence is delivering on the hill and in his dinner tonight. a clearer sense tonight of what will happen next with this bill. >> what is the prediction, caitlin? >> i'm not sure. i'm struggling to see a path here. there might still be one. people put faith in mitch mcconnell and his ability to rangel h wrangle his members. >> let's listen in to what house speaker paul ryan has to say about this right now. >> the cbo, you have confidence in the impartiality? >> he is actually a republican appointee. if i'm not mistaken, tom price appointed him. look, i have always had my own complaints about methodologies and

both nancy pelosi and paul ryan. i think i understood what she was trying to say.abandoning the approach obstructionism and other things that geared down washington, d.c. tammy: they don't have a history of doing that. paul ryan always gives lots of speeches and says nice, wonderful things, and nothing happens. we are tired of speeches. we got tired of speeches the last 8 years. you give a nice speech and everything goes wrong. now we are all the target. this is a tipping point. we have been through assassinations. throughout the last several years at the town halls we have seen the process move up. that wasn't enough for people to do anything about. they can decide to get the obamacare stuff done and the tax dynamic and recognize that donald trump's agenda is something that should be dealt with and move forward. they can stop with impeachment talk. so they can do things right away. if you don't see that right away, charles, it confirms byron, they aren't going to do anything. we are used to acting on an issue like immigration. act on this. contact mcconnell and pa

mitch mcconnell had every right to believe that he dodged this disaster in march when paul ryan would not let his health care bill go to the floor of the house for a vote because he didn't have the votes. that was when paul ryan and donald trump did the most unprofessional thing that any house speaker or president has ever done in a legislative exercise. they both publicly gave up on their big promise to repeal and replace obamacare. >> i don't know what else to say other than obamacare is the law of the land. it's going to remain the law of the land until it's replaced. we did not have quite the votes to replace this law, and so, yeah, we're going to be living with obamacare for the foreseeable future. >> i think we have to let obamacare go its way a little bit overall and we'll have to let things go. i'd love to see it do well, but i can't. >> his fans were not happy with that surrender. when paul ryan gave up that time around, all he had to say was he was going to continue to work on the bill and work on getting votes. that's all he really had to say. which is actually what paul ry

paul ryan is a little gun shy when it comes to taking on trump for things that trump does.n it comes to the tweets, you know, at first paul ryan tried to speak to these tweets via the press conferences he has. >> what i would say is it would take a lot of members of his own conference writing a letter to him, signing on to it, and for him to actually say something to the president. >> this person is going to talk to trump and maybe make a difference. paul ryan is really focused on getting things done, and he has learned in the past that he gets burned when he takes on trump for tweets like this and in situations like this. >> speaking of getting things done, i wanted to ask you as we enter the fourth of july weekend, how tight is the republicans' window to actually pass the legislation they promise throughout the past year? >> well, it's going to be a squeaker. it's going to be a squeaker. that's all i can say. when they get back from the july 4th weekend, it's going to be, you know, all guns on go because they have to raise the debt limit. they have to make sure that they

what's next for textile from after house speaker paul ryan's comments.t conversation we come back. this is bloomberg. ♪ david: this is bloomberg markets, the trump economy. let's check bloomberg first word news this afternoon. mark crumpton has that. last --ey will surely the supreme court will issue its last opinions of its term on monday according to john roberts. casesurt has six argued awaiting decision, though it could schedule some for second argument in the term that starts in october. president trump is to revive his -- travel ban is on a separate track. justices could act on that at any time. a judge has refused to rule that an army sergeant captured by the taliban -- ended his afterorized absence hours he left his post in afghanistan in 2009. his lawyers had asked for the ruling so they could advise him on how to enter a plea to the desertion charge. it was held captive by the taliban and its allies for five years. judge said today the length of his unauthorized absence should be decided at trial in october. killed, 35 people were 100 others wo

we are going to hear from house speaker paul ryan and nancy pelosi. they are going to open up with a prayer and then we will hear from leadership in the house as all of this unfolds. >> gillian: i think this is a wake-up call for washington, for the governing class in the united states. i think that the message here for the rest of the country is that it's time to really lead by example and that starts with congress, it starts with the executive branch and it starts with the judicial branch. it's incumbent upon the governing class in washington to do their best to if not and the gridlock, then to at least and that hellacious rhetoric that has done nothing but divide our nation over the last election cycle. today is a poignant tragedy coming on the heels of what has been the most heated political season we've seen in many years. it puts a fine point on the problem at hand and i think it really is a wake-up call for bipartisanship. anyone who is not calling for that today is doing americans a disservice. >> abby: in that moment, president trump is very

. >> please welcome speaker of the house paul ryan. >> [cheers and applause] >> play ball! >> there's your play ball from paul ryan, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell. >> cedric richmond has taken the mound. he's back out for for a sixth straight year. seventh straight year. >> i actually don't know -- >> he was 5-0 headed into last year. so this is seven straight. >> he tries to go the distance, but he did not make it last year. it will be interesting. as you mentioned it was quite hot, quite muggy last year. we've got a perfect evening tonight, 82 degrees, breeze moving right-to-left across the field. pretty decent little breeze. let's see if it messes with the outfielders panel if anything gets in the jet stream. cedric play breezily played for morehouse -- previously played for morehouse college. he throws near 80 miles per hour. the republican manager joe barton called him the best player to ever play in a congressional baseball game. >> pretty high compliment. probably accurate too. >> he threw a two-hitter, a two or three-hitter. >> last year he did pit

president. >> paul ryan said that he would not try to impeach a democrat if they were accused of the same actions. and you had a response to that today. >> yeah, and really paul is my friend. i want him to do well. and as a friend, i would say to him, paul, we know that's not true. i mean if hillary clinton -- if hillary clinton had won the race and if director comey had reopened the server investigation about her e-mails and if hillary had not liked that and if she had fired director comey, my party, the republican party, would be howling right now. >> yeah. >> we would be asking questions and heading toward investigations that might end up with articles of impeachment because that would really upset us. well, the shoe's on the other foot. it's very important for the country that we go after this. and by the way, this -- the substance of this would be actually more serious than the scenario i just described because hillary would have been revealing some secrets potentially and being careless with classified material. but the substance of this investigation is the possibility, as come

brian: paul ryan yesterday.f, understanding trump, i would say. he agrees with you kind of. i didn't want to put it like that stark view. but you hold with that. that's what's at stake right now; correct? >> let me say, first of all, i thought that was a great interview. brian: thank you. >> and i thought that paul ryan did a great job, and you did a great job, and i think you've got a lot to be proud of. the veteran reform alone is historic and remarkable. the point i'm making is one about substance and two about communication. this is a work in progress. the senate has to come out with a bill that the american people conclude is better than obamacare. at least half of that is a communications problem. one, quick example. after all the news media talking about cutting medicaid in the house republican bill, i did some research. it actually goes up 20% over the next ten years. now, think about that. all of this talk about cut, cut, cut. no. no. it's a 20% increase over the next ten years. so half the republican p

so that the committee members could go to the house floor to hear from house speaker paul ryan and minority leader nancy pelosi addressing the body about the shooting this morning in alexandria, virginia, that left representative steve scalise and four others wounded. again, that house foreign affairs committee should resume shortly live here on c-span 3. while we await, the congressional profile interview with freshman house member stephanie murphy. >> toll us how you got into -- tell us how you got into politics and why you did. >> i got into this race four months before the november of 2016 election. the reason i got into the campaign was i'm at my heart a public servant. and i just felt given the rhetoric, the hateful rhetoric going on in the 2016 campaign and the dysfunction of government that was causing so much angst in the citizenship, it was the dysfunction of government was manifesting itself in unpleasant ways and then later on top of that the pulse nightclub shooting happened in my district. it felt like a call to service. i felt if you wanted to change washington you had to cha

we expect at noon to hear from the house speaker paul ryan and nancy pelosi. and i just received an e-mail that went out to all members of congress saying come to the house floor to hear their remarks at noon today. let's go to hans nichols. he's at the hospital where congressman scalise underwent surgery. >> reporter: he's out of surgery, according to two congressmen. some of who have spoke within majority whip scalise. you can see the emergency room entrance right here. this is likely where he came in. and this is a hospital in northwest d.c. where they do a lot of specialty work. they're not necessarily focused on trauma here. the main trauma hospital in d.c. is george washington hospital, down towards the white house a little more where there are also two victims of the shooting attack. now what the hospital is confirming is that the majority whip steve scalise is here. they're not saying anything about the status of his condition, where he is right now in terms of the surgery. but we can confirm, according to two congressmen who have spoken with scalise t

[applause] paul ryan: we all want to learn as much as we can about what happened. we all got a briefing from the sergeant at arms. i have confidence in the investigation being conducted by the capitol police, are working with local law enforcement. we want to extend our gratitude for the outpouring of support we have received from throughout the capital and from throughout the country. knowing steve scalise as we all do come he is likely really frustrated that he will not be able to play in the baseball game. steve wants us to commend the bravery of those who came to help the wounded. in the coming days, we will hear their stories and have a chance to hold up their heroism. are so manys, there memories from this day that we want to forget. so many images that we will not want to see again. there was one image that this house should keep. that is a picture i saw this morning of our democratic colleagues gathered in prayer after hearing the news. every day we come here to test and we feel so deeply about the things we fight for and we believe in that at times our emo

they're not following the twitter back and forth, like paul ryan said.ey're focused on the substance of what we need to do to get the country back on track. >> keith -- keith. >> go ahead. >> this is ridiculous. absolutely absurd you are not condemning this petty, vindictive, sexist attack from the president of the united states against a female journalist. you of all people know if this had been another person, a democrat, a barack obama who said something like this, republicans would be condemning this type of behavior. how much longer will republicans allow donald trump's childish, petty vindictiveness to consume this country's politics? this has to end. the only way it ends, people like you, call yours respectable republicans have the courage to stand up and say something about it. yes, i'm glad that finally paul ryan had the courage to say, it's inappropriate, but that's not enough. and ben sass and lindsey graham, keep condemning the comments he's making but stand behind donald trump as their leader. melania trump said she was going to fight agains

paul ryan's outside organization spent $6 million, i think. and we did not see the base dissolutionment we thought we'd see. >> it was interesting margaret hoover picked it up. that karen handel, even in her victory speech didn't mention the president by name. she said the president of the united states. but she stayed clear of him in the campaign. you think that's the play book for tight races heading to 2018? >> i think in any race you doint want to litigate it in a national election. what you want to do is locallize and personalize your apeal. these races are not run by generic ballots and you try not to make them a referendum. you try to make it about an actual ballot. i think karen handel did that in this race very well and if anybody became a problem for the democrats, it was the prospect of having a nancy pelosi democrat representing the sixth district of georgia. i think many are going to look at this around the country and try to replicate it, knowing that particularly in these suburban districts that personalizing or localizing it wi

big win for paul ryan. in karen handel republicans now have yet another house member who is fiscally conservative, who shared their conservative social values. also she wants to build a wall on the southern border and repeal and replace obamacare. i spoke to her last week in georgia. she said she does not necessarily support the border adjustment tax, the subject of much debate in house but she is on, she is firmly behind a lot of the policies that president trump is trying to put forth. you know, this is a huge win across the board. as we were talking about, this is a sweep for republicans. you cannot understate just the depression that democrats now face. they are torn between what kind of candidate they should run and the issues they should run on. instead of having a clear mask for the midterm there is confusion for the democratic party. >> bret: as much as we talk about for all the time spent talking in the media about a split in the republican party, that some like trump and the trump agenda, some oth

the association of manufacturers summit with a special guest, house speaker, paul ryan thank you for joining us >> thanks for having me. >> let's talk tax reform one of your biggest speeches you have given in a while. you said, we will get it done this year. we need to gary cokohn earlier said we wan to wait until september to get it on the floor to have the details put together what makes you so confident we can get this done this year. >> we have all agreed on the timeline, gary, steve mnuchin, we believe this is the time to get it done before the end of the calendar year. america's tax system is one of the worst in the industrialized world. it is a huge anti-competitive force. we know we need to get it done it is the basics of tax reform we agree on almost all of that we are narrowing our differences between the house, the senate, white house getting on the same page we are going to be delivering tax reform in the fall the reason i am confident about doing this, every republican i know in congress is dedicated to getting tax reform done. we realize this is excess tension for the f

also awaiting comments from paul ryan.are monitoring to a very key house races today with special elections in south carolina and georgia today. to paraphrase roger kipling, you are a better man than i am, scare a moche. >> kennedy: very good. >> shannon: free speech on college campuses not becoming a federal matter. here's what one student had to say just moments ago about his experiences at williams college in massachusetts. >> in my time at williams, i cannot name a single conservative speaker who has been brought to campus by the administration. this fact is problematic precisely because the overwhelming majority of students at williams have liberal beliefs. and classrooms, liberal arguments are often treated as unquestionable truths. in some cases, conservative students even feel the need to refrain from saying their opinion in fear of being shut down. the >> shannon: 's hearing comes on the heels of several colleges canceling conservative speakers due to violent protests and safety concerns. last month, liberal stude

some of that tone from the president in the diplomatic room and we are going to see according to paul ryanan's spokesperson who has been tweeting out, both paul ryan and nancy pelosi will be making remarks on the house floor once you get the information on the background of this alleged shooter, authorities are going to want to determine whether or not he was working alone or anybody else was involved in the situation. there doesn't appear to be any indication right now, particularly because police on the scene in alexandria have said that scene they consider to be safe. they consider the city of alexandria to be safe. the indication from law enforcement is that there is no further threat to the region they are going to want to know who else this person was speaking to and who else was involved in drawing up this plan if it was a forethought out process by this person it appears this particular event was targeted this is not a random situation like we have seen with isis attacks where you are rolling awe van into as many people as you can, kill as many as you can, harm as many as you can t
