speaker paul ryan. and jonathh of course ryan once back when he was a candidate. >> i regret those comments that he made. his comments are not anywhere in keeping with our party's principles and values. i am not going to defend donald trump, not now, not in the future. >> house speaker paul ryan, essentially disinviting donald trump from what would have been a paul ryan-donald trump event. >> not now and not in the future. look at the headlines, ryan defending trump, ryan backing the release of this classified information allegedly to impugn rosen stone. this is an important piece because in washington, you and i both know, one of the key ways to stay out of the story is just to work in secret. and you argue more or less paul ryan has been doing that, but you say it's time for more exposure, what do you mean? >> so the frame that people have had for paul ryan's involvement with trump has been based on the questions that you just showed in that segment, will you speak up, will you condemn, will you say a

i want to make a comment about paul ryan. i watched pretty closely on c-span when simpson bowles was on there and they were going through the debt reduction. republicanshree from the house and three from the senate and three democrats from the house and the senate. bowlesoted for simpson except for the three republican house members. that was paul ryan and i believe it was hence early and david cap. serling and david kemp. simpson was on your program and he said he was pretty upset with ryan that he didn't vote for it and asked him why. ryan said he would not vote for it because he wanted a voucher system for medicare. ryan has everpaul wavered in that. he wants to turn medicare into a voucher system. quick,.ther comment. i watch your program a few years ago and he had a person on there from the democratic administration talking about medicare and a republican person talking about medicare. they disagreed a lot. the republican's name was skelly. i forgot what the democrats name was. they both seem to agree that medicare at th

number two, what is paul ryan's role here and how can paul ryan tolerate 245 behavior on the part of the one of his committee chairs? >> well, he shouldn't. and i don't know what recusal means if congressman nunes is the example of recusal. because as you point out, he seems to have been continually involved in one way or another in the russian investigation when with he said he was not going to be and would step aside. what can the speaker do? the speaker can ultimately remove him as chairman of the committee and at least at the very least assure that recusal means recusal. recusal means not being involved. recusal means not trying to influence what is going on with respect to the committee's oversight of what russia's role was in the election and what danger they caused to us. it's a very disappointing that the speaker doesn't act or that nuness has acted notwithstanding his pledge of recutsal because f close involvement with the white house. >> would you seem to be calling for the removal of congressman nunes from that committee? >> you asked what the speaker could do. >> i'm aski

house speaker paul ryan speaking right now. let's see what the speaker says. >> this is the department of defense funding that equips our service members with the resources they need to protect our country and the threats that it faces. this is not the first time the house has voted on this bill. this is not the second time the house has voted on this bill. this is the third time the house has voted to fund our military. you heard it from paul cook straight. why is this the third time that the house will have voted to fund our military? because the senate democrats continue to hold that funding hostage. they threaten to filibuster the legislation which makes it impossible for the senate to pass and for the president to sign it into law. senate democrats are playing politics with defense spending and that is so vital to our national security needs. so we just don't see this as irresponsible, it is dangerous. you do have training accidents happening more and more these days. we had more people die in training accidents last year

why would paul ryan say no? >> i can't tell you, but there's two things that i am increasingly concerned about. the justice department and the fbi, you know, for me, they're almost like beyond reproach. now, if somebody does some monkey business in there, then it's up to the people that run the place to get rid of them, to sanction them. but we can't start trying to discredit the justice department and the fbi and then we're seeing everybody trying to discredit the press. if you discredit these institutions, they're the foundation, the bulk work of our country. and it's really becoming a great alarm to me that this is happening. you know, we can criticize the press, they can say, oh, nicolle, you're bias, whatever, fine, but just think if you weren't around, if any of them weren't around. any of them. even the people that you showed speaking. the thing about freedom of the press is, it's the first thing autocrats want to do in other countries, they want to shut it down. and let people have their say. again, in t

>> because paul ryan it appears either is a lackey and a flunky just like devin nunes is or paul ryan is so invested in what he can get from the donald trump. remember, donald trump is the person who obviously sells the base on paul ryan's agenda. paul ryan wants those tax cuts for the rich. paul ryan wants donald trump's right hand with a pen in it and doesn't care. >> i mean, we know -- i worked for one of these speakers in the house. it's a constitutional office. it's a greater office than senate majority leader in the line of success. there's there because the founding fathers wanted it there. to think you work for the president? >> as you he's afraid. they've gotten the big prize. they've gotten the tax cuts through. now it's about short-term political survival. he's afraid this president will turn on the republicans who obviously are standing there in the rose garden with him on a dime if they start to go against him. and this next election. >> the lion's club, the rotary club, the chamber of commerce, all the burgers back home are thrilled because they got a big tax break. >> a

so, the top officials in the doj and the fbi went directly to paul ryan tonight. we are told they were there to talk about the russia investigation and devin nunes in particular. wow. that's something. and i say it's something, because i have no idea what that is. we really don't know what happened there. speaker ryan's office is referring people to the justice department and the fbi, the jus disdepartment and the fbi are saying nothing about what happened here, but this was a surprise meeting. and those documents that were supposed to go to devin nunes tonight did not go there and conceivably those documents could have been opening up very sensitive stuff from the middle of the mueller investigation while it's under way. drama. and that brings us to the last thing i want to get to off the top of the show tonight. which is the first direct effort by anybody in the orbit of president trump to try to shut down the mueller investigation directly. trump campaign chairman paul manafort was, of course, indicted in october on multiple felony charges. his trial is due to

mitch mcconnell took it a step further than paul ryan. paul ryan said senate democrats have to get their act together. mitch mcconnell putting the blame for the government shutdown on the shoulders of senate minority leader chuck schumer. clearly no love lost between those two at this point. we're told they are not the best of friends, to put it mildly, and sometimes conversation between the two can get pretty heated. we are going to take you over to the white house and get to nbc's jeff bennett who is monitoring the developments there for us. jeff, as we await more activity on the floor, what about the white house? how is it reacting to the shutdown? >> reporter: the white house, much like senator mcconnell, they're doing their level best to lay the blame for the shutdown at the feet of democrats. one thing i would like to point out there, you saw senator mcconnell allude to the meeting that chuck schumer had with president trump at the white house yesterday. he said if senator schumer thought he could resolve the issues in a short meeti

they were hoping that paul ryan would get nunez to back off. they didn't get paul ryan's help. instead, nunez announced that doj agreed to provide access to everything that he requested. the compromise appeared that documents would not be handed over to nunez, instead, the chairman and a handful of people from the house intelligence committee would go into a secure room in the doj to review them. there is one document, deemed so sensitive, chris ray decided to personally show it to nunez himself. apparently, what nunez proceeded to do, was take in a document, about an on-going counter intelligence information, put that into a set of talking points, a memo, laying out a supposed conspiracy inside the fbi, to undermine the trump campaign and presidency. if you have been reading any right wing media, this is all anyone on the right has been talking and tweeting about. the secret memo that will bring down the russian investigation, reveal the experience at the heart of the justice department. republicans on the committee voted to make it available to the entire house. now, they are

you just heard paul ryan talk about -- we reported about 40 minutes ago that paul ryan told a group of us this morning on the hill that he thinks the memo should be releasedment he reiterated that there and interestingly he kind of tried to thread the needle. he talked aren't the importance of the institution of the doj and fbi yet at the same time he said they got to clean house if there's something to clean out. >> that follows what trump told sessions to tell fbi director chris wray, that you need to start with a fresh new team which suggests they think there are underlying problem which is they hope the memo will show but, again, it's three and a half pages. it's going to be very cherry picked to help push their narrative. >> that's the arguments democrats are making which is why they wanted to release this counter memo. >> i think what we're seeing is another example of two different sets of facts, republicans have one set, democrats have another set and we're trying as journalists to figure out what is happening here. it's hard to think a four-page memo with none of the underlyin

host: what is your comment about paul ryan? caller: paul ryan asked us to give trump a break, he was new in washington, just give him a chance. well, we have been waiting and waiting and it did not turn the oval office into a classroom and make trump and apprentice, but who was going to teach him, the chief of staff, john kelly? is he going to stand behind donald and say, no, no, donald, don't touch that button? governor of ohio said the same thing, give him a chance. how long do they expect us to give him a chance to learn to be more diplomatic? guest: i would say that you will probably hear paul ryan say give trump a chance for as long as trump is an office or as long as paul ryan is in office. host: the headline from "usa today," "fitness debate asetracks trump and aides the president defends mental capacity." alex bolton, how much are you seeing the agenda get sidetracked in the past week, with this book that came out, "fire and fury"? guest: the house was out last week, the senate was only in for a day. this week, we will

for house speaker paul ryan's help, hoping paul ryan would get devon nunes to back off. they did not get paul ryan's help. instead speaker ryan sided with devon nunes and he announced the d.o.j. had agreed to provide access to everything he had requested. the compromise appeared to be the documents would not be handed offer to nunes. instead the chairman and a handful of designated people from the house intelligence committee would go into a secure room at the d.o.j. to review them. but there was one document that the d.o.j. deemed so sensitive chris wray opted to personally show it to nunes himself and apparently what nunes then proceeded to do was to take in all of those classified documents about an ongoing counterintelligence investigation and turn around and put that information into a set of talking point, a memo, laying out a supposed conspiracy inside the fbi and inside the justice department to undermine the trump campaign and the trump presidency. now, if you've been watching or listening to or reading any right-wing media over the pa week you know this is all

where's paul ryan? where's lindsey graham and mitch mcconnell saying on the show i'm not part of this? somehow it's become so normalized that he's saying all these things untrue or racist or lies and people say let's see what tomorrow's tweets will bring. >> let's sit in it far minute. this is our closest ally, the special relationship and the president of the united states feels he cannot visit because of the protests that will greet him there. it's not just that he cancelled the visit, but now he's telling the story about president obama as an excuse to get himself out of it. >> right, and he does have a knack for blaming president obama for things often president obama had nothing to do with. blaming obama is not helping him look -- making the statement he made about african and asian countries look any less racist. it shows this president trump who so much wants to be praised and celebrated is not going to be praised or celebrate first down he goes to london because of his own doing. things like twe

you could see paul ryan squirming. part of the frustration has to be that i don't think they are that far away and the suggestion that paul ryan was giving trump a template on how to speak about this, trump is capable of this. it has been far overshadowed. part of our interview yesterday before this other story came out, we talked to him quite a bit about immigration. he still wants a wall, but there is flexibility there. he doesn't want to talk about comprehensive immigration, but said it's a possibility. when it comes to daca, he urged his party to have flexibility on it and talked about looking at it with his heart. talking about daca and looking at it through common sense. he wanted to get to a deal. this is not to defend what he said or ignore it at all, but only to point out that he is capable of this when he wants to. for paul ryan, it has to be frustrating for this to overshadow an ongoing negotiation. >> capable when he wants to, but also capable in another meeting of pulling the pin and making things a hell o

i think you see chris christie and paul ryan recognizing it. christie can be more honest because he's not the governor of ryan still has to be aware of the constituencies that exist within his caucus and within it is republican party at large, that he still has to sort of pay some homage to. >> chris cilli glrks irkcillizzr being with us today. >>> still ahead, she's been out of sight for almost a month, but the first lady is expected to return to the spotlight at tonight's state of the union address. the "new york times" says melania trump was furious at recent reports involving her husband's lawyer and an alleged porn star payoff. that's because tripadvisor lets you start your trip on the right foot... by comparing prices from over 200 booking sites to find the right hotel for you at the lowest price. saving you up to 30%! you'll be bathing in savings! tripadvisor. check the latest reviews and lowest prices. you don't want to live with mom and dad forever, do you? i'm making smoothies! how do i check my credit score? credit karma. don't worry

he ignored it like paul ryan he ignored it. the republicans are now regardless of their past, regardless of their reputations, regardless of their biography, they are now bowing and scraping to donald trump. mika and i caught grief from democrats for a year and a half, for criticizing hillary clinton's sloppy management of, of emails and possible classified material. republicans feasted on it for a year and a half. for clinton supporters who say that wasn't a big deal -- shut up on your twitter feed, okay? just stop if you think that because donald trump is a bad president that justifies hillary clinton handling classified information or the emails that way? please, talk to yourself because we aren't listening. but clinton -- the only thing that hillary clinton has to do with donald trump right now is the same republicans that were cas castigating hillary for being reckless classified information, are being more recless for ignoring and paul ryan is doing things that hillary clinton never approached. >> general kelly was the he

i wish paul ryan would do more, but he can't surrender his speakership in protest of trump. that doesn't do anyone any good. so i think it would be very helpful if people were more willing to listen to the republicans who are willing to speak out and not slap them in the face when they do begin to stick their necks out a little bit and say, why aren't you doing more? put the pressure on the people who don't. mitch mcconnell is a disgrace. he says nothing while paul ryan again and again says, hey, this is what you need to say about fisa, i really don't like these comments, you know, during the primary campaign when donald trump was saying the stuff about judge curial and paul ryan spoke out. people went after him and not the people who ducked and hide. i think he should be camping out on mitch mcconnell's door and say, why won't you say a word to discipline the president? >> so let's talk more about that, scott. isn't that part of being a leader, speaking up? she said -- amanda said paul ryan doesn't want to surrender his speakership because that wouldn't do any good. but by

forget about paul ryan. i don't think he knew his white house issued a statement saying we support it. >> he doesn't know his own policies? >> correct. >> do you want me to confuse it? that's it. >> that's as plain as you can make it. >> clear as mud. >> you had a visceral reaction to the president calling haiti, el sal va is door, every nation in africa shithole countries and he would like people from norway comeing into the country. >> i had a reaction to him saying a white person coming to the country is okay and not a black person. whites are okay. blacks are not. i grew up in a household we were told we were waps and leaders. my best friend's couldn't play with the kids across the street because they were kikes. a white person could own a black person, chinese people 110 years ago were slant eyes. and japanese people deserve to be in detention camps. how many times do we learn the lesson? how many you times did we learn the lesson? this is the land of the free, home of the brave, not the land of the big

paul ryan has 44 million. i'm not sure that, you know, he will be able to unsee paul ryan. he may not seek reelection this year. i think there is something to him coming out time and again having to defend this and having to defend some of the republican party principals that i'm not so sure paul ryan stands by. i think as we have seen the rising majority across the country, we saw what happened in alabama and virginia. it is uniquely white. it is overwhelmingly white. so i do think this is something that we can watch how white people are voting. i want to get away from this white working class, something different than regular working class people. i think it is something that will be a factor in wisconsin. so i'm cautiously optimistic. >> very interesting. to that point, even to dhcharlis point, how much money could randy bryce's popularity, could it cause republicans to have to spend more in paul ryan or then they would have to get name id for a new candidate of their own. how much do you think they willing to spend to keep wisconsin read? >> i this i they will spend all

paul ryan said he would not put noncontroversial bills in with controversial bills. that's exactly what he's doing today. we're all for chip. we'll have an opportunity to vote on making chip go forward on its own. we democrats vote for that. we're for chip. we ought to do that. i told the majority leader two months ago, two and a half months ago when he put a partisan chip bill through the house, i said, mr. mccar thithy that's not going to work. let's reach an agreement. now they can do it because omb made it much easier to do in terms of paying for it, but we want to see that bill passed. it could pass on suspension this afternoon. >> let me ask you and show you, first of all, how republicans like house speaker paul ryan described the democrats' stance. take a listen. >> look at mistakes are going to be shutting down chip in days. alabama, kentucky, louisiana, oregon, virginia, washington state, these are states that are running out of chip money if this does not pass. i can't imagine why someone votes against doing that. >> isn't it possible that voters punish dem

ryan to pull his caucus together and prevent a shutdown. >> so, jackie, paul ryan has this c.h.i.p. problem now that the president has thrown this bomb this morning and senator mitch mcconnell has the bomb of we don't know what the heck the president wants. listen to the senate majority leader. >> i'm looking for something that president trump supports. and he's not yet indicated what measure he's willing to sign. as soon as we figure out what he's for, then i would be convinced that we were not just spinning our wheels. >> this is a republican majority leader saying we're spinning our wheels because of the republican president. extraordinary? >> extraordinary, but, a continuation of what we have seen in the past. listen, people like mitch mcconnell and paul ryan can't twist arms if they're going to be undermined by the white house, by a tweet. and let's also not forget on the republican side they were about to jam the democrats and get them to vote potentially vote against children's health care. i mean, just looking at the raw politics here, what the president did is he also under

we are saying to paul ryan that we are willing to work together for the good of this country. that is the better do we want to offer. thank you. and with that, i would like to introduce my colleague and friend, mike welch. mike: thank you. there are two questions. one, how to begin here? and two, hud we find a way out of this? we got here because we are not and now we have the fourth concerning resolution in four months. if this were the city of burlington and vermont, the fire department could not enter into a contract to buy decent equipment. the police department could not hire personnel. that has to end. we need a budget. the second issue is that the speakers made a tactical decision. by that is to negotiate working with the freedom caucus. always a dead end because it means the most extreme elements is the one that makes a final decision. the speaker has another option. and it is to work with democrats want to turn the lights on and keep the lights on in government. and third, the priorities the democrats are talking about our mainstream. a daca to be sure, dreamers to be

[ laughter ] or you could make fun of the fact that sometimes i whisper things to superman. because i figure with his superhearing, he can hear me. >> seth: i would really rather just make fun of paul ryan. >> leave em' alone. >> seth: what? i can't hear you? >> well, i was talking to superman. >> seth: sir, why don't you please sit down so we can continue the show? >> fine, go ahead and get back to your paul ryan jokes. you know what i'd say to that? >> seth: i'm guess you'd say, "leave em' alone." >> leave em' alone!

speaker paul ryan and leader mcconnell and let us know how you feel. this is how the president's hometown paper is handling it this morning. the picture of the words, speak for itself. we are joined by the reporter who broke this story wide open. a clean break that set off a giant frenzy, white house reporter washington post, josh, thank you for being with us, congratulations on the breaking news. lets get your reaction to what the president now says, he says this was not the language used despite the fact that the white house did not deny it to you or anyone over night and now every news organization is massively reporting. >> i will standby reporting yesterday, we took the comments that we want to report directly to the white house and told them what we are going to say and we did not get a denial, we confirmed it multiple places and multiple outlets and cnn confirmed it as well. this comes 15 hours later, the president obviously has the right to express his opinion on this story as he has on twitter. we standby reporting 100%. >> give us more and ex

one point when donald trump was attacking a mexican american judge paul ryan said that was a text you know. case of racism when donald trump called for a ban on muslims entering this country paul ryan held a press conference saying that you know this was a good you know of fun fundamentally no not not a conservative idea fast forward to today where you have the president engaging in these are not racial dog whistles anymore these are fog horns right now you know reach weeding the you know the the neo fascist anti muslim bigoted videos you know out of out of out of great britain paul ryan and the rest of the republican party is absolutely silent so this is the normalisation right now you know it's the second half of two thousand and seventeen you're so you're basically seeing them shrug their shoulders oh trump is trump and their silence is one of the most dramatic developments that we've seen here and by the way you know when we talk about playing the race card understand that it's not just african-americans you know how central to the trump appeal his attack on muslims on mexicans on

they were hoping paul ryan would get devin nunes to back off. they did not get paul ryan's help. speaker ryan sited with nunes and when they emerged from that meeting, nunes announced the doj agreed to provide access for everything he requested. the compromise appeared to be the documents would not be handed over to nunes, instead, the chairman and a hand full of people from the house intelligence committee would go into a secure room at the doj to review them. there was one document that the doj deemed so sensitive, chris wray on theed to show it to devin neunes himself and what devin nunes proceeded to do is take in classified documents about an on going counter intelligence investigation and turn around and put that information into a set of talking points, a memo laying out a supposed conspiracy inside the fbi and justice department to undermine the trump campaign and presidency. if you've been watching or listening to right-wing media you know this is all anyone on the right has been talking and tweeting about. the secret memo that will reveal the conspiracy at the heart of

. >> now, c-span recently talked with speaker of the house paul ryan. this is about 15 minutes. >> house speaker paul ryan, thank you for joining us. let's talk about the tax bill. members of your party are saying there need to be some fixes, some revisions to the bill in 2018. what changes if any need to happen? speaker ryan: it is good to be back with you. it has been a while. anytime you do massive legislation like this, this is the biggest rewrite of the tax code in more than 31 years, the last big rewrite was 1986. this is more comprehensive than that. so we knew all along, when you had such a massive rewrite of tax laws, you are going to have some technical changes that will need to occur. for instance, we rewrote our entire international tax system on how we treat international economics and cash flows. we knew that would need some revising. so far, not a lot really needs to be done, other than i would call small things. >> no republican support for the affordable care act, no democrat support for this bill. is that the new norm? speaker ryan: i

paul ryan sees what's coming. but the truth is, even if paul ryan's trying to hide what he's doing, a record number of house republicans, a record number of house republicans are retiring. >> and the chairman. >> chairman and people who have spent their whole careers being there for this moment. they're retiring for a reason, because they know that wave is coming and they know that this comeuppance for donald trump is going to take them down too. >> the number at this date, eight house republican chairmen at this point. something you never see. a year out, eight house republican chairmen who have decided to step down for no reason. >> ron chain, john hide dellman, thank you for joining us.

meanwhile, house speaker paul ryan called the president's remarks unfortunate. let's watch. >> i read those comments later last night, so the first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate, unhelpful. we've got great friends from africa in jaynesville who are doctors, who are just incredible citizens. i think it's important that we celebrate that. >> senator john mccain, respect for the god given dignity of every human being no matter their race, ethnicity or other circumstances of their birth is the essence of american patriotism. our immigration policy should reflect that truth and our elected officials, including our president, should respect it. jennifer? >> you know, how pathetic is paul ryan, how far he has fallen. he says it's unfortunate. it's unfortunate when i get a hang nail, a run in my stockings. this is not unfortunate. it's outrageous. this is a man who has been proimmigration his life. now trying to play it down. >> let me go to joy on this. i think everything paul ryan hears or thinks has to do with his agenda. it's not personal. it's all

we have this customary conversation before deadline in wisconsin. >> house speaker paul ryan, thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having us back. >> this interview is available on our website, cspan.org. you can also see it again later today. we will be playing at 6:45 and 8:45 eastern time on c-span. denny hoyer is this week's guest on newsmakers. he talks about what's ahead in congress and the outlook for democrats taking over the house next year. congress relationship with president trump. you can watch newsmakers sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern also on c-span. congress returns tuesday, facing a government shutdown of midnight friday january 19, the house gambling in at 2:00 p.m. eastern as members were to extend government funding and consider an abortion bill. the senate is back at 4:30 working on the fisa bill. later the senate will have to work on extending government funding past that deadline. the house, live on c-span and the senate live on c-span2. >> sunday on c-span q&a, author and wall street journal contributor aj boehm with his book the accidental presiden

paul ryan sees what's coming. but the truth is, even if paul ryan's trying to hide what he's doing, a record number of house republicans, a record number of house republicans are retiring. >> and the chairman. >> chairman and people who have spent their whole careers being there for this moment. they're retiring for a reason, because they know that wave is coming and they know that this comeuppance for donald trump is going to take them down too. >> the number at this date, eight house republican chairmen at this point. something you never see. a year out, eight house republican chairmen who have decided to step down for no reason. >> ron chain, john hide dellman, thank you for joining us. "last word" is next. except for these two fellows. this time next year, we're gonna be sitting on an egg. i think we're getting close! make a u-turn... u-turn? recalculating... man, we are never gonna breed. just give it a second. you will arrive in 92 days. nah, nuh-uh. nope, nope, nope. you know who i'm gonna follow? my instin

what's wrong with paul ryan, paul ryan used to have some kind of moral authority within the republican ranks, someone if you were to take a stance, could tell devin nunes that e-- why won't paul ryan and mitch mcconnell stand and say that it's obvious from this and other reports, that we don't know what we don't know about the russia investigation. let's lay down the political weaponry and let this thing play out, why is there no leadership in the republican party? >> you saw that in the fluff fest after that tax bill was passed. as long as they think they're going to get their agenda passed, they're going go break ranks. there are two things that we ought to under line in red ink here. first was the interview that donald trump gave to michael smi schmidt under the "new york times." the primary role of the attorney general was to protect against any type of investigation. today you have the president of the united states urging the department of justice with it's vast investigation of power to go after political appointments, opponents, these are not normal things. but i do think that

but the white house so far is as unmoved as paul ryan was when he rebuffed pleas from wray and rosenstein to protect classified material. >> as far as the memo goes, the memo came over. we've got our folks in the national security lawyers in the white house that work for me, work for the president. they're slicing and dicing it, looking at it so we know what it means, what it understands. >> did you see it? >> i did. >> what do you think? >> it will be released pretty quick and the whole world can see t. >> the whole word can see it. reporters and guests, ken delanieian, washington post ashley park erk ear associate press white house reporter jonathan la mere, also barbara mcwade, u.s. attorney. i spoke to a justice department official. i was with him, i showed him my phone and said, have you ever seen this before? he said, no, never. have you ever seen anything like this before, such a public and a public relations battle between the fbi and a sitting president and a republican chairman of the committee who is known to have gotten himself into some shenanigans with fisa material? >> no,

or does that give enough cover to paul ryan? >> the president will be on board with it, if it's popular. i think that's what weave he 'v come to terms on. >> i am not so sure about that. >> it's part of the reason never-trump republicans were saying, look, this guy's playing you for a fool. we want you to be citizens >> but he went to c pac. this is a man who started off by running and saying we need to build a wall and keep mexicans out. that's essentially what he was saying, they're bringing rapists over the border. i'm completely out of time. they are yelling at me in my ear. thank you guys very much for being here. we'll be right back. >>> that's all for tonight, chuck will be back tomorrow with more "mtp daily." everyone's doing these handoffs about football today, and i don't like football, so i'm just going to smile and nod politely until we have baseball back on the tv. >> i prefer baseball as well, but i'm not a big sports person to again with. >> i do like the story about the philly cops racing the poles. >> it is 6:00

i want to make a comment about paul ryan. i watched pretty closely on c-span when simpson bowles was on there and they were going through the debt reduction. republicanshree from the house and three from the senate and three democrats from the house and the senate. bowlesoted for simpson except for the three republican house members. that was paul ryan and i believe it was hence early and david cap. serling and david kemp. simpson was on your program and he said he was pretty upset with ryan that he didn't vote for it and asked him why. ryan said he would not vote for it because he wanted a voucher system for medicare. ryan has everpaul wavered in that. he wants to turn medicare into a voucher system. quick,.ther comment. i watch your program a few years ago and he had a person on there from the democratic administration talking about medicare and a republican person talking about medicare. they disagreed a lot. the republican's name was skelly. i forgot what the democrats name was. they both seem to agree that medicare at th

. >> the house speaker paul ryan said the president's comments were unfortunate and unhelpful. it's unfortunate when your flight is delayed or you are out of milk in the morning. this goes beyond unfortunate. when is enough enough? >> well i think the speaker's comments are too little, too late. his comments are actually unfortunate. you can't dance around blatant racism remarks, you have to take it dead on. don't care if it is his president my president your president, you have to call it what it is. it was an ignorant remark. it was a racist remark. and it served to do what he wanted is change the conversation from his base being upset with him about his immigration remarks. >> yeah. if they're not calling him out are they complicit? >> well, yeah if you think back to dr. king since this is his weekend. dr. king said always that you are not hurt by the words of your enemy it's the silence of your friends. and there are too many people in america being silent while this president spews hate and ignorance and racism. >> so if you think most republicans won't jump on board do th

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

we will hear from speaker of the house paul ryan in just a few minutes. certainly top on the agenda is what do you think president trump meant by that tweet, how does this impact the plan to vote on it tonight and certainly the biggest fact is that this is under 40 hours to a potential government shutdown and no plan as of now. >> yeah, which made that such a stunning tweet. sunlen serfaty on the hill, thank you. >>> also this morning, the president is reportedly furious at his own chief of staff. a source tells cnn that the president hated remarks by john kelly in which he said the president had changed his views on a border wall between mexico and the u.s. the president venting some of his frustration in this morning's twitter storm saying in part, the wall is the wall. it has never changed or evolved from the first day i conceived of it. let's get to the latest from the white house and cnn's abby phillip. tell us about what seems like it may be a rift between two key players in averting a government shutdown here, abby. >> reporter: that's right. some
