[laughter] >> but beyond all the washington turmoil, paul is a public servant who works tirelessly to create opportunities and improve lives, for all americans and that's why the work of the alfred e smith memorial foundation resonates with him so strongly and i guess this is the right time to tell you, paul, i know you thought you were invited to be the keynote speaker. this is actually a

blessed with paul ryan. [applause] i consider paul a great american, a dedicated leader. did get an advanced look at your comments. all i can say is repeal and replace? how hard could that be? [laughter] of course, we all know that speaker ryan comes from wisconsin. i guess that's no wonder that he is so agitated these days. swallow his pride and switch from making great wisconsin cheese to make a phony washington maloney. balogne.gton [laughter] know, apparently, paul was more familiar with some of these activities that maybe we had previously understood. that, back in wisconsin, one of his first jobs meieriving the oscar weiner mobile. i also understand that it was a very tough job for him, because he kept driving to the right. [laughter] know that paul is a policy wonk. huge some say nerd. you know how some people do fantasy football? paul ryan does fantasy tax reform.

[laughter] but beyond all the washington turmoil, paul is a public servant that works tirelessly to create opportunity and improve life for all americans. and that is why the work of the alfred e. smith foundation's work resonates with him so strongly. and i guess this is the right time to tell you, paul. i know you thought you are invited to be the keynote speaker, this is actually an intervention. [laughter] the cardi

house speaker paul ryan faces reporters. and he's like, this is the last thing i want to be talking about. he wants to be talking taxes. he does not want to have to be answering questions about a top republican senator going after the president after the united stat states. kasie hunt, you've been in the room time and time again. and he's been pressed about what other republicans are saying about donald trump and the latest donald trump tweets. it looks like this tuesday morning will be no different. >> reporter: that's probably right, hallie. although i have to tell you that i do not anticipate my answers are going to be different. forgive me for keeping an eye here as the house speaker is going to walk in. i'm going to take my seat. >> garrett haake is in the hallway and involve in the bob corker interview. we'll monitor the paul ryan news conference. i want to go to you as you asked questions and asked the key questions here, does bob corker think other republicans need to be following his lead now? >> reporter: yeah, he

let's talk about paul ryan. certainly a familiar name and face. .ou know the basic story works for construction company founded by his grandfather. chairman of the house of the budget committee. most young congressman -- paul ryan does better. paul and i have a little bit of history. remember that night a few years ago? in ohio?mitt we will always have akron. you know what cleveland's motto is? at least we are not akron. beyond all the washington turmoil, he is a public servant who works tirelessly to create opportunities and improve life for all americans. that is why the work of the alfred e smith memorial foundation resonates with him so strongly. i guess this is the right time to tell you. i know you thought you were being invited to be the keynote speaker, but this is an intervention. the cardinal has secured new identities for you and your lovely family. we have a nice place in north dakota where no one in washington can idea. will after the dinner we whisk you away and you will not have to deal with that

but did paul ryan not exist before donald trump did? is he not worried about his legacy? >> i think paul ryan thinks the only legacy he'll have is a tax reform. he's a particular kind of conservative. i want to point something out which seems to be missed. which is if president trump is genuinely innocent of all the charges, if this is the utter nothing burger. if i'm accusing you of genocide of penguins in antarctica, right, most people will laugh that off. in fact, it plays into the president -- might play into the president's hands -- >> or i'd show my hand -- >> -- is going to uncover nothing. or you show your hand. why is the president so nervous? why is his tells, like in poker, always so obvious? he says things like, i'm, like, a smart guy, you know? when he -- when there's potentially something to hide, he's going to deny and he's going to fulminate. the real question here is not about manafort, it's about papadopoulos. how did he appear as a foreign campaign senior spoil advispoli out of nowhere? >> it was amazing, like me bein

we have the heritage foundation have known paul ryan since he was a very young staffer working for heritage distinguished fellow jack kemp. jack kemp as in tax cut jack kemp your great opportunity to work with paul when he was at empower america when he was a backbench republican member, when he was chairman of house budget committee and then chairman of the ways and means committee. and now we are honored to continue working closely with him as he serves as speaker of the house of representatives. we value his commitment to the principles that hold the conservative movement together. and we look forward to continuing our close engagement with him, particularly as we work to transform america's tax system in a true jack kemp manner. it's my great honor and privilege to welcome back to the heritage foundation our good friend speaker paul ryan. [applause] >> look, first of all to dr. feulner and all the people have heritage thanks for having me. the very first thing i want to say is i i want to say how much we, each of us, myself included '02 this man ed feulner. [applause] the conservative m

we are talking about paul ryan here., by the way, this is the house speaker in his weekly news conference set to answer questions from reporters any minute. i'm listening in, talking about the wildfire relief that the house is working on. so a lot happening on the congressional plate here. because we know that this disaster relief is going on. >> this $36 billion package will have funding for california and the wildfires there. we are just hearing now that in the republican conference meeting this morning that just finished up before they started speaking, it's likely that the house republicans are going to be leaving thursday. so no, this is a change to thursday, so they have a ten-plus day recess. when there are 30 some days before the end of the year to get everything done. >> let's listen in. >> yeah. i've had my share, too. i think it is just talk it out among yourselves. my advice is for these two gentlemen to sit down and just talk through their issues. i think that's the best way to get things done. rachel. [ ina

i know you spoke with paul ryan for your first show here.a little bit of what he said about the president. let's play a piece of it. >> the president has regularly engaged in disputes with various members. bob corker, the most recent. ben sasse, over the first amendment. is that helpful to your agenda? >> it's what he does. we have kind of learned to live with it. he and i have -- not on this particular issue -- but we had our engagements in the past two. what i'm trying to get our members to do is focus on doing our jobs. we're here elected to represent our constituents, to advance our principles, pass solutions. that's what we're focused on. i try to get members just not to get distracted by these things. >> kasie, there you see the public paul ryan who always appears cordial towards the president, but behind the scenes, is he frustrated that there's been zero legislation and does he blame the president at all for that? >> well, i think it was telling he said we have learned to live with it. i think that implies that it's not something tha

paul ryan wifrps out, pretending that bob corker and donald trump are equally coherent. who thinks that? finally, let me finish tonight with trump watch. this is "hardball," where the action is. what started as a passion... ...has grown into an enterprise. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i'm earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what's in your wallet? >>> i want to share something with you. the first few copies of my book on robert f. kennedy have arrived. it's a stunning to see all the research and writing finally coming to life. i believe this book, especially coming now, is going to stir the spirit, remind us that a great country must also be a good country, that american politics can be a moral force. that instead of dividing us our leaders can truly, believe it or not, unite us. bobby kennedy, a raging spirit. we'll be right back. it can transform a frog into a prince. but it can't transform your business. for that you need dell technologies. we are transforming jet engines into turbo powered safety

i sat down with the speaker of the house paul ryan on thursday.lked about las vegas and big tech and of course the tax bill in&generally how is president trump doing in his job as comforter in chief? >> we saw the president make a comment about puerto rico bonds this week and the bonds crate erred. >> i saw that. look, we passed legislation -- i actually negotiated this bill last year. we have an oversight bill for puerto rico to deal with their financing crisis. that is the proper place. so this is not about having government change property rights on bonds. this is about we have an oversight board that is working to get puerto rico in a good position so they can go borrow again. if we were to take away property rights, it would be hard for them to ever go out and borrow in the future. we have to be mindful of that. >> i bring up their bonds not because it is a good idea to kill the bond orders. it's not. you might have to bail out puerto rico. >> the issue is can you help puerto rico nurse themselves back to fiscal health, economic health so in

tonight i'll speak with paul ryan.e're joined by senatorial franken who claims he's back to being funny in public again. and some are giving up and going home. susan collins stays the course. steve bannon takes center change declaring war on mitch mcconnell. we'll hear from chris mcdaniel, a conservative state from mississippi who came this close to beating an incumbent republican in 2014. will he try it again? we start with drama -- over the president's decision not to certify the iran deal. secretary of state rex tillerson has reportedly developed a tense relationship with nikki haley, the ambassador to the united nations. a white house official described the spat as, quote, world war iii proportions. the speculation, haley wants tillerson's job and has a better relationship with the president o. meet the press haley didn't encourage the feud but he didn't exactly deny it either. >> that is just so much drama. i mean, it's really -- it's all this palace inteagrigue. i am glad to be living in new york. i don't want to

. >> then, paul ryan, you know, weighing in also. at the al smith dinner, and he told a lot of jokes. i want you to listen to this and tell me if you think he's really joking. >> i know last year that donald trump offended some people. i know his comments, according to critics, went too far. some said it was unbecoming of a public figure and his comments were offensive. well, thank god he learned his lesson. every morning i wake up in my office and scroll twitter to see which tweets i will have to pretend i did not see later on. >> they were kind of uncomfortable. >> they were jokes, but he's being absolutely honest about his feelings here. add paul ryan to a person that he says he's embarrassed in some ways of the president on top of what we heard from the former presidents. it's fascinating. >> it's striking. paul ryan using the president as the butt of a lot of his jokes and drawing a lot of laughter. the president is not known for taking a joke about himself that well. what it does for their relationship, i don't know. it was all

paul ryan has to rely on democrats to get that build on. they would prefer to have one painful nasty vote and combine it all into one. that's why i think people are saying this is going to be a package deal at the end of the year where they do something that conservatives are going to rebel against, but they don't want to have conservatives being snubbed repeatedly. paul ryan is putting these votes on the political capital credit card and eventually, the bill will come due. shery: how much momentum is there for this, given the priority is still tax reform? could we see this on the senate floor anytime soon? erik: i don't think so. it's probably stalled. tax reform is what's on the front burner. my senate budget getting voted on likely to pass by friday and then we have all attention goes to the ways and means committee producing a bill in early november that has to be voted on. it has to get a lot of momentum on tax reform in november because by december, we are looking at the whole business of a government shutdown and there's going to be

so that means paul ryan was, you know, kind of saying what he meant, that the president's going to be in asia and he's implying that having the president out of town is the best thing for republicans who are trying to get a tax bill passed. this week, republican senator bob corker said very clearly he hoped the president would stop commenting on the tax bill. >> is he being a distraction? are the comments he's making, the tweets, making it harder to get tax reform done? >> i would let the tax writing committees do their work. i think both the house and senate has done a lot of preliminary work and stay out of taking things off the table and really negotiating against the process before it even begins. >> the chairman of the senate tax writing committee is utah republican orrin hatch. chairman hatch said this. we need to know what the president wants to do to try to coordinate it with him, so far i'm not quite sure where he is going. and no one is quite sure where the president is going in his newly announced war on opioids, a war that republicans got interested in only when they disco

counselor to house speaker paul ryan. of --gton bureau chief television, and on my left, our emcee, bobby bones is here. the kerman chairman of the executive committee the vice .hair , paul corson, ofiam khan, and the director senate radio and television correspondents gallery. thank you for being here tonight. staffs who we truly owe our deep appreciation. >> i would like to thank our event planners. thank you to my wife sally for her patience and support and planning tonight's event. [applause] i would like to offer a toast for the 115th congress. the radio and television correspondents association has 457 member organizations among 3700 broadcasters credentialed to cover congress. none of them are fake news. appreciation for the 115th congress, but especially to all our broadcasters who keep our government accountable, cheers. house speaker paul ryan currently serves as the country's 54th speaker of the house and was a 2012 republican vice presidential nominee. when i told him i was from wisconsin come he says he knows

go to depend.com - get a coupon and try them for yourself. >>> here's what paul ryan had to say todayut jeff flakes and bob corker's public comments about president trump's fitness to serve as president. >> do i wish these differences wouldn't be happening out in the public, yeah. i think people should settle their differences personally. i think it's in our interest to have party unity so we can continue to work forward on an agenda. i'm not that worried about this because i know jeff and these guys. i know they're for tax reform, and i know they wanted to get these things done. >> joining us now max booth, sen javier fellow for national security studies on foreign relations. and max, tonight "the new york times" we have former republican senator tom coldburn quoted as saying we have a leader who has a personality disorder. that is the kind of thing along with what bob corker and jeff flake has been saying that the speaker of the house, paul ryan, firmly believes should be kept private. you should never say that publicly in the interest of party unity. paul ryan actually said that pu

were thrilled to have the republican ringmaster himself, house speaker, paul ryan. are you doing? good thanks for having me, by the way, i know bobby bounces nice to meet you in person first really want to thank the executive board of the radio tv correspondents association and on behalf of the people i work with want to thank olga and her team ladies and gentlemen, tonight i have prepared my remarks in a way that will forever revolutionize the way that you hear speeches. it will be organized in a stream of bullet points. they tell me that was a joke they swore to me that was going to be a funny joke. i wasn't so sure, thank you for proving me right. some of you might be wondering why came here so soon never too early for a speaker to work on his next gig. plus i have a whole bunch leftover dad jokes. after that dinner were spent about a third of the time rip on the president to give me a call the next morning and he liked the speech. he told me he watched on tv and thought it was great which i thought was weird, the president watches tv, so this dinner the first di

the 13-time world champion green bay packers, the republican ringmaster himself, house speaker, paul ryanpplause] speaker ryan: good evening. how y'all doing? good. john, thanks for having me. i don't know who bobby bones is. nice to meet you, kind of, sort of in person. good to see you. first of all, i want to thank the executive board of the radio tv correspondents association and i want to on behalf of the people i work with i want to thank olga and her team out at the house radio television gallery. [applause] ladies and gentlemen tonight i have prepared my remarks in a way that will forever revolutionize the way that you hear speeches. it's going to be organized in a stream of bullet points. they tell me that was an -- joke. brandon buck swore to me that was going to be a funny joke. i wasn't so sure. thank you for proving me right. but some of you may be wondering why i came here so soon after my star turn at the al smith dinner. never too early for the speaker to work on his next gig, plus i had a hold bunch of left-offer dad jokes to work on tonight. after the al smith dinner wher

and -- but i'm thinking about what paul ryan also said about the president. you know, someone asked him about how the president handles things. he said yes, he uses different language. that was a euphemistic way to talk about the president in his -- who comes off brash in a different way, like a bull in a china shop. i don't think it's just about leadership in washington. it's about the american public as well. >> but april, and i know you say you've heard from republicans, ana navarro you say senator corker is speaking for republicans, but i spoke to roger wit ker from mississippi, steve bannon wants to unseat, if roger was looking for a reason to be upset with the president there is one right there and roger wicker told me senator corker's statements are unhelpful, ana. it's not like we publicly see that many u.s. elected republicans speaking out like bob corker? >> oh, i think you're right. we're not seeing it publicly. we are seeing more do it publicly. we are seeing people like george w. bush speak out publicly, we are seeing john mccain speak out public

when asked whether the indictments could derail the republican agenda on tax reform house speaker paul ryan said this morning, "nothing is going to derail what we are doing in congress, because we are working

paul ryan voted, which is rare for the speaker.et's listen at his weekly news conference. >> we've been living under a broken system where they see too little of their dollars. they spend dollars just doing their taxes. so much time and money is wasted just complying with this incredibly complicated tax code. only to be rewarded by having a big chunk of their income taken and claimed by the government. it's unsustainable. people really are struggling in this country. so many people are living paycheck to paycheck. families deserve a break. single moms who live paycheck to paycheck deserve a break. parents working to send their kids to college deserve a break. the guy who got a job a couple months ago unemployed for many months deserves a break. that's what this tax plan is all about. our tax reform plan invests in these people, in real people because we really believe that families know how to invest their dollars better than the federal government. we believe that families need a break. tax reform will help reignite the american d

paul ryan accomplished a pretty huge feet tonight. he managed to do it.point out how to narrow was. he allowed a bunch of republicans to vote again something they were worried about. that this budget framework allows for for a repeal of thee and local tax which is difficult for summer wiccans to vote for. he got it across the finish line. it's worth noting. >> bret: speaking of paul ryan, this is the house speaker on the fbi dealing with them on this dossier. >> we are so frustrated to of learned through the media aspects about this investigation that we have been asking for documents from the fbi for months. they have informed us that they will comply with our document request and that they will provide the documents congress has been asking for by next week, and we expect the fbi to honor that commitment. >> bret: obviously the big news, the gag order was lifted last night on the informant. that starts the process of questioning. but it's been slow going. >> we've been in this for a long time. there have been two collusion narratives. one is that donald

point, idea that republicans have become two in particular, have become his nemesis be they are paul ryan, speaker who is not re-- somewhat more refined in his tactics. and mitch mcconnell. who is becoming brutal. >> he needs to retirement what do you make of them? how desperate is nation to replace them. >> for paul ryan, at least he was able to get obama carry through the house, he is giving a big speech tomorrow, he is working with president on taxes, i don't agree with paul ryan on everything. but he was fed up with senate during obamacare push. mitch mcconnell is another story. he never liked trump. he never was a fan of trump. he did not expect him to win. he was -- he would much rather had a jeb bush in office, and he always looked down on the tweeting. it is like trump is a neofight in politics and mitch mcconnell is the expert. i say that experts could not get the job done on seminole piece of legislation. lou: neither one of them has done a thing. >> time to retire for mitch mcconnell. lou: they are creations of sloo own their own physical -- >> do you think if today, donald tru

lou: what are you going to do with paul ryan and mitch mcconnell?th the cards you have been dealt. trump showed up in washington and you have paul ryan there, you have mitch mcconnell. unlike some others, i don't fault mitch mcconnell as much for this reason. what's he going to do? john mccain, rand paul, susan collins, they are not going to vote to helping out on the healthcare bill, and they will vote the other way. what is he suppose to do. a congressman said in the senate mitch mcconnell does not have really a working majority on every issue. it's just that there. i think they need more senators. lou: i hope you are not suggesting raising the number to 200 of them. because 100 is more than i can bear. >> just more than 52 is all i was saying. lou: i hope it goats the right direction. but i'm not sure we can count on that. i want to turn quickly -- go ahead. i just want to turn the -- go. i'm going to shut up right now. >> you were going to talk to the issue of the senate committee hearing that's going on and on and on, and thn they refuse to say

paul ryan / house speaker: clearly that's something we need to look into.icans agree.sen. jeff flake / -r- arizona: yeah, there are going to be some hearings.sen. tom cotton / -r arkansas: i'd be willing to entertain those.democrats tout a chance for rare cooperation.rep. nancy pelosi / -d- minority leader: certainly the public pressure in terms of bump stock is such that we would pass it if they bring it to the floor.rep. david cicilline / -d- rhode island: it think it would be a great moment to show the country we can work together in a bipartisan way to address this issue.a senior house g.o.p. member tells cnn, a bump stock ban could pass in the republican-controlled house, especially because, as the trump white house points out, the bump stock policy comes from the previous administration. kellyanne conway / counselor to president donald trump: 2010, the obama administration's alcohol, tobacco and firearms bureau said they wouldn't regulate that device. but considering bump stocks were largely unheard of on capitol hill before this week, this much talk

are going to vote for this. >> dickerson: we'll be back in one minute with more from house spooker paul ryan. >> dickerson: we spoke to speaker ryan about the topic of race in america. a year ago we talked about race relations in the country you said you hoped -- then candidate trump would be inclusive you said, he's new at this. it's been a year now, how would you rate his ability to bring this country together which hasn't clearly -- >> like you said on the charlottesville thing it. -- like three comments one was great -- four comments i think, two good, two bad, i think like you say, he's learning. i know his heart is in the right place. >> dickerson: how do you know that? >> i've had some candid conversations about this, especially during that time. i do believe his hard is in the right place. i think what matters is that we have to show people that we are inclusive society, that we want everyone to succeed. i think there's more that all of us as leaders have got to do to be inclusive with people make people feel like they're included in society. i think we got long ways to go just as so

. >>> coming up later today, house speaker paul ryan in his weekly briefing with reporters. we are expecting him to talk about the 2018 budget resolution which was just approved in the house. it sets the stage for the republican tax plan to go forward without being subjected to the filibuster in the senate. last night here in washington, house speaker ryan addressed the annual dinner of the radio and television correspondent's association. we'll show you as much of that as we can next here on c-span 3. >> announcer: ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. our program will begin shortly. >> announcer: please stand to honor america. ♪ o say, can you see by the dawn's early light ♪ ♪ what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? ♪ ♪ whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight ♪ ♪ o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? ♪ ♪ and the rockets' red glare the bombs bursting in air ♪ ♪ gave proof through the night that our flag was still there ♪ ♪ oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave ♪ ♪ o'er the land of the free ♪ ♪

paul ryan had his turn at the mike last night and turns out, paul ryan's got jokes. >> enough with thell right? you sound like the cabinet when donald trump walks in the room. i don't think i've seen this many new york liberals, this many wall street ceos in one room since my last visit to the white house. i got to say, i really have learned so much. i learned god is always listening, as is vladimir putin. >> reporter: so, craig, ryan said in another interview this morning that he jokes with the president like that from time to time. so, if president trump was upset about any of those jokes, we haven't heard it from him yet. it's clear that ryan has mastered one of the hardest parts of comedy which is, of course, timing. >> garrett haake. garrett haake's got joectiokes,. that was good. but i would likely stick with my day job on the hill. >> reporter: fair enough. >> former presidential blast from the past. presidents bush and obama calling for unity in what's been called a polarizing presidency. will their messages, will what they said yesterday, will it actually resonate? america's b

paul ryan. >> it has bipartisan support among tax experts.idea. being the one thing i have seen from paul ryan that was not a terrible idea, it died instantly in the political arena and without that, without the border tax adjustment, there is no way to make a significant corporate cut in marginal tax rates that doesn't explode the deficit. the minutes of the moc september meeting answered questions about the monetary policy, but further insight came from the one-on-one interviews. let's start with manus cranny's conversation in zurich. >> i'm thinking it will take longer to get to 2% and we might need a continued accommodative stance. from here on out, every rate increase will get closer to that line where we are not sure if it will lead to inflation moving up. we have toudgments come to before the next rate increase. manus: from the data you have seen so far, where you stand on a december hike? >> it is too early to say. i think the inflation data has been disappointing. that itd the arguments is likely due to transitory factors. there cert

talk is going to turn into action with new are reaction just this morning from the house speaker paul ryan who wraps up the interview with hugh hewitt a few moments ago, and the highlights are first on this show. >>> and president trump this morning real mad about fake news and spoiler, it is not fake, but the fallout today is with rex tillerson. we will have the latest from las vegas and here in d.c. this morning, but let's start out west in nevada with stephanie gosk, and good morning to you, and let's start with the new details of police about how this unfolded and the timing of it. >> and sorry, hallie, i am having a little bit of difficulty with communications here, but the time line, and astonishing astonishingly, we are talking about the rounds and the volleys that went around, but 10 minutes had to feel like an eternity, and this is the time line as we know it now. at 10:09 stephen paddock first fired shots and 10:12 the first an offic an officers arrive on the 31st floor of the mandalay bay and then at 10:15, the final shots are fired by paddock, and then at 10:17, first officers

but the house speaker paul ryan, the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell today, they dismissed all of these fights. do you think republicans, congressman, are being well-served by their leaders right now who remain silent in the face of a lot of this outrage? >> well, i wouldn't -- i don't think i'd necessarily characterize it the way you did, wolf. i know speaker ryan was pretty clear about his opposition after charlottesville. i think he has spoken out on a number of times. i haven't kept track, but i do think it's important for all of us to do what we think is right and do what the folks that elected us sent us up here to do. and for me, whether it's a president of my own party or a president of another party, i agree when i agree, i disagree when i disagree. think that we can learn that we can disagree without being disagreeable. i think that is something that is important and we've got to show that as an example up here as elected officials. if we can't do it, our kids won't be able to do it and our grand kids won't be able to do it. >> i ask the question because the speaker p

it's all fine with paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. they don't, seem to have an incredibly high toll ersan for aber rant behavior even talking about coddling neo-nazis just to get the tax cuts. wipe is that such an article of faith and a zealous sort of article of faith for people in the republican party? >> two reasons. one is the people who contribute the vast bulk of the money to the republican party are the ultra wealthy people like robert mercer, adelson, the cokes. they save millions upon millions a year of taxes if they can get the top rate cut. secondly, a lot of republicans, such as paul ryan, i think in their heart of hearts really believe in a sort of ann or andean world, carry the rest of us on their backs. their incentives, taxes, are - extremely important, where as that on the rest of us has no significance whatsoever. >> and they seem determined to cut back on the great society and fdr era social safety net programs for the poor. what is that about? >> they've never given up -- one of the great things about the republica

paul ryan speaking at a manufacturing plant. national association of manufacturers was at the event and will join us later this hour. >>> new details surfacing about the las vegas gunman. officials say he may not have acted alone. authorities seeking the identity of a woman seen with him days before the mass shooting. >>> puerto rican bonds tumbling, when the president said the island's massive debt should be wiped out. the white house budget director says the president would not be literal. there will be no bailout. coming up we have the governor of port reeks coable to respond. david: we need to hear from him. new record highs for all major averages. let's go straight to nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange. i set it up, nicole. investors were happy about progress toward tax reform. is that what is buoying the market? >> we're closer to having tax reform and americans and businesses benefit in a way easier, bern official to them in tax reform that boosts the market ultimately. you call it the trump trade, what

here's the question for paul ryan. are you interested in continuing the payments if we can get more flexibility? if you're not, tell us. then the payments stop and then we'll all accept the consequences of that. there will be some heart ache out there if the payments don't continue. i don't blame president trump for stopping the payments. they're illegal. the president would like to find a way to continue them but he has to get something meaningful before us. >> president trump was being credited by your colleagues for basically forcing them -- he says i'm not going to pay the insurance companies anymore. so you have to make a deal. democrats and republicans. if there is no deal, whose fault is this? >> all i can say is if you're going to force somebody to do something, you think they have to make a deal, you should know whether or not they have to make a deal. all i can say is he was right to stop the payments legally. i don't want to throw good money after bad. but if the idea was to force us to do something and the

as house speaker paul ryan tells us what we can expect from the republican tax plan. >> guarantee that every middle class person will get a tax cut once it becomes a bill. >> the purpose of doing it, is to get middle class -- >> dickerson: is that a guarantee? what will the plan do for you and what do democrats want. chuck schumer will be here, plus cbs newsman bob schieffer will join us, his new book "over load" takes a look at the news deluge in the trump era. plus we'll have plenty of political analysis it's all coming up on "face the nation." good morning, welcome to "face the nation" i'm john dickerson. we've got a lot of news to get to today but we want to begin with the ongoing humanitarian cries in puerto rico following hurricane maria. cbs news correspondent is in san juan. david, right now what is the most urgent need? >> john, physically getting food and water to the people who so desperately are still begging for it. yet people are still desperately finding clean watt are. fema is there, bee saw the good work that they are doing but we also talked to the mayor who said it's

>> well, it was a side of paul ryan that has been kept out of the public eye.id can tell us whether that's what republicans wear when they're alone in private. but it's good to laugh. he showed an ability to laugh both at himself as well as the president. he said he wakes up every morning, first thing he does is tweets to see which one of the president's tweets he's going to have to deny that he read that day. so he did show a certain awareness. and i think humor... whatever you say about this administration, it is humor-free. i mean, self-deprecating humor and donald trump are mutually exclusive. >> republicans wear riding jackets. it was a catholic dinner. >> a catholic dinner for al smith, first catholic nominee. haven't elected a catholic since then. john kennedy and then jack kennedy. >> it's always a great dinner, not that i've been. i watch on c-span. it's always funny with one exception, and that was donald trump last year. he turned it into what usually is quite a funny dinner into just a bitter diatribe. and that, you know, you can tell a lot about a
