now speaker of the house paul ryan, welcome aboard mr. speaker, even he is now blasting what he is calling attempts to stonewall this massive corruption and investigation. >> it's really frustrating. we've had these document requests with the administration and the fbi, in particular, for a long time. and they have been stonewalling. the fbi and the justice department needs to give congress the documents its been requesting. they need to do so immediately. i can't tell you how frustrating it is to learn through the media, you know, information that congress has been requesting from the executive branch for a very long time. >> sean: could have been watchinwatching this show. the attorney general jeff sessions and the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein need to get their heads out of the sand, start getting to the bottom of this real russian collusion. the american people have a right to know. tonight, we're finally making progress. here with reaction, the attorney that is representing the fbi informant, vic tour i can't pari can't toen

. >> neil: chairman, have you heard from speaker ryan about keeping the house open in august? >> we haven't heard directly. i broached it with the speaker a number of times. congress works better with deadlines. things get done at the very end of temperature 11th hour. with this, what we need to do is do self-imposed deadlines. let's get healthcare out of the way. i believe that if we set in place before we leave in august the parameters of reducing corporate taxes down to 15 or 16%, look at repatriation -- >> neil: you met at reducing taxes. you probably heard one of the plans the senate is calling for is keeping the taxes on the upper income and the .9 sur tax for the upper next for medicare in place. what do you think of that? >> i've heard that. i also know that there's no other plan to go with that proposal. that's a political decision. not a policy -- >> neil: if something like that came back to the house, how would you feel about that? >> we've been firm. we believe the taxes need to be repealed. obviously as we look at that -- >> neil: that would be rejected right away

. >> bret: let's get reaction from house speaker paul ryan mr. speaker, thanks for being with us. i want to ask you what your initial reaction was when you heard the fbi director james comey was fired. >> obviously firing in fbi director is no small thing and quite a serious matter. i think the truth is james come comey, who is a worthwhile and dedicated public servant, i think you lost the confidence of a lot of republicans and a lot of democrats aced upon his conduct, his actions, and some of the comments he made. most importantly, he lost the confidence of the president, and it's entirely within the president's role and authority to relieve him. that's what he did. >> bret: were you given a heads up? >> rights before it happened. he basically called me when i got off a flight to tell me he had made the decision. i also think if you take a look at the fact that he was losing confidence in the justice department might think the president felt the right thing to do was to let him go, move on. i think it's really important at this point now that we find a replacement soon, so that

speaker ryan has expressed support. >> jenna: in the meantime, some new evidence in the rape case. one of the fathers of one of the suspects has been arrested. both suspects are illegal immigrants, but that doesn't seem to have changed public opinion of the county's sanctuary policies. there's a lot to unpack here including some new evidence that is confirmed. doug joins us live from city hall in maryland. >> the arrest of when the fathers is a strong signal that ice is stepping up their enforcement, even in century cities like rockville. yesterday, police arrested -- ice arrested the father for unlawful entry. in other developments, and last night's city council meeting, the scheduled 50 minute public comment. mac stretched to over an hour with -- this occurring after attorney sunil jeff sessions warned it to withdraw federal money. >> we must not enact collective guilt. >> i believe he built a great america. tonight i brought my passport to prove that i am a u.s. citizen. i do not want to have to carry this anywhere to prove that i am a citizen. >> that sentiment echoed by big-ci

joining me is house speaker paul ryan. mr. speaker, thank you very much. first to london, how were you informed about i today, and is there any reason to increase security at our own capitol? >> well, hi, dana. nice to be with you. i was informed by my national security adviser this morning after the london attack happened. the u.s. capitol is arguably the greatest terror target in the world, so it is always under very very vigilant security. i'm sure that they're aware of this. they're upping their security posture and profile. this is something we in the capitol think about and prepare for every single day. by the way, i just have to say my sympathy is out to the victims and the police officer who was killed by this assailant. this just goes to show, dana, we are still at war with radical islamic terrorists, if that's what it is. we are being told that it is being treated as a terrorist investigation. that's what it looks like. it just shows we have to be vigilant about this in our society these day. >> dana: mr. speaker, going forward, in the next month

he's putting his weight and influence and charm behind making this measure that at least speaker ryan and mr. mcconnell are pushing when there's these concerns and these doubts. did he appreciate the magnitude of that and the fight that he could be having here? >> i think he's beginning to. he assured us he wanted to work with us. a lot of expressed policy concerns. all of us said we wanted to get to yes on this. even if i don't like the bill as a whole, if i can honestly say it's a step in the right direction based on the principles we worked on for years here at heritage, we're ready to go on this. >> neil: what does that mean, "ready to go on this." he interprets it this way. tweeting out despite what you hear in the press, healthcare is coming great. we're talking to many groups and it will end in beautiful picture. he thinks in the end it will get through. is he saying as well that look, if they don't come together with this conservative alternative or these conservative features, a lot of former cog leagues and those on capitol hill with the proviso that they will come back with

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 senate is taking it up. they'll have lots of amendments. a lengthy legislative process but i'm excited the senate is taking it up. >> bill: there are republicans in the house warning mi

house speaker paul ryan is very confident there will be enough support to get it through the house. >> will have 218 votes. this the beginning of the legislative process, we have a few weeks. we'll have 218 with a thing comes to the floor, i can guarantee you that. >> sandra: it doesn't sound like everyone on board. our own brian kilmeade this morning asked congressman jim jordan from the conservative freedom caucus if he believes speaker ryan's guarantee. >> no, not right now. when we told the voters we would repeal obamacare, we didn't say would repeal obamacare, but keep some of the obamacare taxes. we didn't say would repeal obamacare, but expand the medicaid expansion, and we didn't certainly say we are going to repeal obamacare, but also start a new entitlement, which is what this alleged patient does. we're going to try to make it better if we can. right now, where it is, it is not what we told the voters we are going to do and i don't think it's going to bring down the cost of insurance, which is our goal. >> sandra: congressman jordan said he's going to introduce a clean repe

steve: joining us right now on a very busy morning on capitol hill is house speaker paul ryan. mr. speaker, good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning steve, ainsley and pete. what happened to brian up too late. too much winning. steve: too much winning. just like you. i saw you with a big hammer. i saw that it passed. why do you have to redo it today? >> because we had such a good time yesterday we just wanted to do it again today. [laughter] ainsley: we love that -- ugd. >> there are these bizarre senate rules. i won't go into the details other than there are these bizarre senate rules and a couple of small tiny provisions dropped out because of these senate rules. we didn't think they should have dropped out but they didn't. doesn't materially effect the bill very much. we will revote and pass it out again today. pete: mr. speaker, you were the chair of the budget committee. you have been passionate about tax reform for your entire time in the house. what did it feel like to hold that gavel and you slammed it -- we all saw it so hard it dropped. ainsley: fell over. pete: wha

. >> sean: joining us now is paul ryan. mr. speaker, always good to have you. >> thank you, sean. >> sean: we expect the vote thursday, i saw a lot of progress on friday. let's start with the good news. for example, the option to impose work requirements on medicaid recipients -- block grant medicaid, and also thets measure which i think is interesting, the white house and house leaders were increasing the tax credits, some people do not like that aspect of it. do you think you have the votes right now to pass this bill?at >> i feel very good because what we have been doing this entire process has been listening to our members, finding where the consensus is and making improvements as we go through the legislative process. a budget committee, there was an effort to say let's look at work requirements. there already is a per capita block grant. lemme just take the whole thing in a block grant and that is what conservatives were askingra for as well. that something we could get this bill to do. every change we make conforms to th

tonight we went to the capitolta and spoke with paul ryan.. take a look. >> sean: mr. speaker, how are -- >> let me start with today's plan. this will impact a lot of people. first question everybody is asking me, are they getting it done? >> we better get it done. the answer is yes, this is one of the most important things we can do to help all americans in the country. this is the kind of plan that day of planet donald -- donald trump going on. this is about economic growth, about bigger paychecks, more jobs, it's about a fairness system in our tax code so we're really excited about this. that's why we spent all this time working with the president and yes working with the senate and house to make sure we're on the same page so we work off the common framework to go from here to get this done. >> sean: we'll get to the process in a second. let's go over the plan. seven brackets to three. middle class tax cuts. standard deductions, childcare tax cut expanded.ct eliminate the alternative minimum tax. corporate rate 20%. the president said he wanted 15% when he was runn

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

. >> up early is the election of speaker paul ryan. he is excited to win with the support of the president-elect, mr. trump. it'll be interesting to see how many democrats look for someone other than nancy pelosi. >> harris: i'm kind of a nerd, i love days like this when things kick off and it's all the circumstance and pomp and all that kind kind of stuff. thank you. republicans get set to take aim at obamacare, democrats planning a counter attack to save it. they are encouraging members to share enrollment statistics had to tell stories about american saved by the health care law. today, president-elect donald trump tweeted this. "people must remember that obamacare just doesn't work and it is not affordable. 116% increases." he gives the example of arizona, bill clinton called it crazy. antsy anti-policy had this morn. >> meets the old thing of going in to a china shop, you break it, you own it. they are dealing with something that is very complex. it's sophisticated, in terms of it being meticulous attention to the detail of the pr

i do think it's up to mr. ryan, the speaker, to fix it but those are not easily done. brian: jimmy kimmel had heart breaking monologue where he talked about his son and born with a heart condition. he said the way the republican plan looks, the indications are that, you know, if he didn't have money, he would not be able to get the healthcare he needed. and people are making -- putting a direct line this what you guys are working on. opting out of preexisting conditions coverage would cause people like jimmy kimmel's son to not survive. what is your reaction to that? >> we always -- i saw the clip, it was very emotional. i have 17-year-old triplets now. when they were born they were all in the neonatal intensive care units for weeks. i have seen the agility of having a premature baby or sick baby. everybody i think agrees with jimmy kimmel. we have enough money in this country to provide care for those types of folks. i don't think the logical conclusion is oh by the way the republicans are going to kick these people off of healthcare. that's not the point. the point b

paul ryan said mr. trump is right to make sure we do everything possible about -- almost security chairman said it's an important day for america. today we started hearing a different song from the number of republicans against the president presence actions. of the last couple of hours cumbersome and justin thomas has posted a heavy of tweets criticized the white house writing part like president obama's executive action on immigration from the trump overreaching in undermining the constitutional system. several tweets later he added the executive order appears to be more about politics than safety. it concerns radicalism and terrorism then what about saudi arabia pakistan another's? >> is growing criticism from democrats as well. virginia senator tim kaine said he was appalled by the trump administrations actions. his statement reads in part if we turn our backs on the evil we despise we do not defeat our enemies, we surrender to them. julie: we are already saying international fallout over this execu

mr. speaker, thanks for being here. reaction on the hill is a little stunned at the number of people who would be uninsured. saying 24 million by 2026 would be uninsured relative to the current law. your reaction on the numbers and what they mean. >> actually if you read the reports, i'm encouraged by it. it exceeded my expectations. tom price and mick mulvaney mentioned the estimates before without more, 25 million people would be on obamacare today. less than half of that are. look at the reason why they said this would happen. we are saying the government is not going to force people devise something they don't want to buy. if we end on obamacare mandate that says you must buy this plan. people aren't going to buy it. of course are going to suggest that if we're not going to make something -- make people do something they don't want to do, they're not going to do it. that's what behind -- that's what's behind this. once the reforms kick in, it will lower premiums. stabilizes the market. $1.2 trillion spending cut, $8
