and paul ryan don t want to do that? i think they do, but is congress moves slower. the president wants to put a pause in our travel from seven countries down to six who we believe we don t have a proper vet progress says for to make sure that our country is seiche for people traveling from there and courts tell him he can t do it. he was told he has to d health care before tax reform because there s tax implications in the health care. he s getting trafrustrated. that s not leading, that s blami blaming. he made a promise to secure our borders and he wants support for that. i think he s trying tactics to get some of his agenda moving because he s been in office now for eight months and a lot of things he promised the american people haven t come to fruition yet. congressman dan donovan, thank you. there is breaking news i m
to attack your open own party there s the philosophy of burning down the establishment. i want to get these things done and if mitch mcconnell and paul ryan don t work with me i ll burn them down and i have a base solid behind me and i ll primary them one by one until there s nothing left of the republican party. there s this wing of outside outer circle advisers that s advocating for that. and i see that this is feeding into that. well, phil bump, that makes sense to me. and i thought that the party that i knew and worked for 20 years died in the room the night that he gave his convention speech. so i m not sure that isn t a wise strategy for this president as the titular head of the republican party. but why not drop the ruse of wanting to pass tax reform? it s obvious why he wants tax reform. it s one thing he knows about how much he pays in taxes and how much he doesn t want so much he won t show us.
months ahead. peter alexander, there s a lot of reporting out by this afternoon in the in politico, in the new york times earlier this the week that what sort of undergirds all of his grievances with leaders in congress is that they haven t had his back on russia. it reminds me of his grievances with jim comey who wasn t willing to protect mike flynn when it came to russia, his attorney general recusing himself from the russia investigation and then was the target of several angry trump tweets. this dynamic of the president expecting members of congress in either party frankly to have protected him from russia seems completely delusional. yeah, i think the bottom line is that the russia topic for this president is personal. certainly the way this investigation has gone, with the focus on jared kushner among others. don jr., his son being wrapped up into this. that s why on this topic in
for their own reasons either surprise us or have some note they want to send with that. but this will play out over time. they will announce all of the members, 435 alba fphabeticalla. some will stand up and others will quietly vote from their seats. this takes a little while, brian, but the outcome at this point is presumed, especially because daniel webster of florida, who was the favorite of many conservatives in that small subset within the house republican conference, he had gotten a number of votes in the private secret ballot yesterday where the party chose paul ryan. then as we expected, he told colleagues don t nominate me. so he may get some votes on the floor today, but don t put my name is nomination. this is sort of the two-step process where house republicans want to look more unified today, whereas yesterday those most conservative members wanted to show that daniel webster was really their choice, not paul ryan. and so i think a big test for
as we know it, that in medicare, it would have raised medicare premiums by $6,000 per fen fish rather. he s also the guy that worked with democrats to get something done in an environment where not getting anything done sometimes is what s applauded. yes, he did. and so that s why i say that i m hopeful. but, you know, at the end of the day, democrats are not going to abandon what we know the american people want and that is for us to fight every day to make sure that they have an opportunity to reach the middle class. where is paul ryan on making sure that we can make college more affordable? is he going to bring legislation to the floor to ensure that student loans don t price people out of an education and hang them with debt for the rest of their natural born life. i mean, what about making sure
