Because paul ryan is speaking about the speech tonight and his relationship with the president. Lets listen. The president recognizes what we all recognize that this is a once in a generation moment. A once in a generation opportunity. We have the opportunity to finally tackle big problems that have held us back for so long. We can fix our Health Care System so that costs go down and choices go up. We can fix our broken tax code so that rates go down and growth goes up. We can fix our regulatory system so that it protects us instead of punishes us. And we can secure our border and rebuild our military for the 21st century. These are big positive things that we can achieve for the hardworking americans we work for by working together. That is why we are very much looking forward to having the president here this evening. It is a chance for the country to hear directly from him about our agenda and about how we intend to improve peoples lives. We have a lot of work ahead of us and were r
Good morning, everyone. Its thursday, march 9th. Im alex witt and ayman mohyeldin. House worked through the night. After 12 hours of markup with plenty of interruption from democrats, they announced they keep going straight through. Weve gone 12 hours on the first amendment. Weve got at least 100 to go, maybe more, so buckle in because we will go until were done with the amendment. Meanwhile, the white house continues their offensive. Top advocacy groups like the aarp, the American Medical Association and the American Hospital association all now oppose the Health Care Plan citing its impact on vulnerable americans. House and Senate Republicans are also making sure their leadership understands they will not hit their numbers as of now. Earlier in the day leaders from top conservative groups like heritage, club for growth, americans for prosperity and Freedom Works and Tea Party Patriots all expressed their deep reservations with the president. Last night the president hosted his bitter
To potentially do or Say Something. We saw senator john mccain come out this morning and essentially say he has never seen anything like what happened with devin nunes in his career, and he has been around washington a long time. That, of course, though on the senate side. And so far, on the house side, republicans are sticking by devin nunes. I talked to peter king on his way into the gop Conference Meeting, and he repeated a line from trey gowdy, another member of the house Intelligence Committee. He says, it doesnt matter if he went to waffle house or the white house, its all the same. Peter king added if it had been the house of pancakes, same deal. I am an ihop girl myself. Thats the line of defense from republicans here for mr. Nunes. You saw in the beginning i tried to get mr. Nunes to clarify whether he was considering of recusing himself. He wouldnt answer directly but did say that this investigation would continue to proceed as it had. However, i will say that this week its c
Vigilant. Was that officer specifically targeted . The manhunt right now. The medevac helicopter, crashing into the woods. The search. The discovery. And what went wrong . The controversial video.

Goresuch. Why did you fire director comey . Because he wasnt doing a good job. I turned on the tv, open the newspapers and i see stories of chaos, chaos. Reince priebus, gone. Sean spicer, gone. General michael flynn, gone. I was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. You have some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners say get that son of a bitch off the field . No collusion. Theres been no crime. In theory, everybody tells me, im not under investigation. Rocketman is on a Suicide Mission for himself and for his regime. We are very well prepared for the coming year. We finished very strong. High noon on the hill. The senate is back in session after a latenight vote to avert the shutdown failed and yet another display of the dysfunction in washington. Republicans blaming democrats.
