conference. paul ryan is up. let s listen. we don t do the blurt out thing. i m not watching the gyrations of the market just make sure we have good economic policy and think the best approach and the president is right. there s clearly dumping of steel and aluminum. that s happening. there s a big over capacity problem. let s focus on and the abusers of that and think the proper approach is a more surgical approach so we don t have unintended consequences. the ways and means committee has been work on solutions with the administration. the talks are ongoing and hoping we can get to a good place.
bannon. the senate leadership fund has plans to fight back against bannon in the primary battle and war against the establishment he said, that he has promised. i want to play for you steven law the head of the mcconnell super pac. listen to this. our concern about steve bannon is really just limited to this, that is, that candidates who get wrapped around him will have to answer for his toxic views, things that he said, his associations with the at-right when democrats make him the star of their attack ads next fall. so, buyer beware kind of a thing. brian, both sides of this are actually doing something interesting which are saying that other is not serving the best interest of the president as they look as we look towards these primaries, where do you land on this one? i mean, i land with steve bannon and i find it disgusting to see that republicans are picking up the nancy pelosi playbook of trying to demonize steve bannon. why don t we have a debate about the free marketpl
country lies. it doesn t lie on some third-party group attacking steve bannon. it lies on what the voters want. they want disruption, change, something coming out of with washington and that s the uphill that the battle senator mcconnell h mcconnell he s too much part of washington and the bannon team tried to neutralize the money and alabama proved not to be an advantage. i m running if i m on mcconnell s team. you know a thing or two about a super pac. how do you think this plays out? i think it s amazing about this it s not about ideas. this is where brian is wrong. it s about character. if you look at what jeff flake said senator flake from arizona votes with the president 92% of the time. it s not actually about a policy change. they all agree they want to screw the middle class and destroy medicare. as tabts character. that s different. i think it s harder to fix. democrats had a civil war 50 years ago about civil rights and the civil rights democrats won,
focused on solving people s problems and being concerned about their issues and moving this agenda forward. that s what our focus is about. last question. mr. speaker. i don t do the blurt out thing. mr. speaker somebody tell him about the rules later. you talk about tax reform. basically a series of hard choices, having to tell people no, special interests et cetera. the president has twice now panned pay fors that are pretty big for chairman brady between the [ inaudible ] which you were a fan of and 409s 1k issue. are you concerned that this rollout next week when you detail the tough choices he s not going to maybe slik some of them and tweet about them. he s going to be in asia, number one. sort of choking on that one. no, i m not, because we re working very closely with the white house on this. as you know with the big six, we work very hard on the parameters and the designed decisions on what goes into this.
absolutely it s going to work. the rest of these folks are all going to find themselves under oath in my free advice as a lawyer they best not lie to the grand jury or they will go to prison. we will find out what happened and why the trump campaign, mr. trump jr. himself, jared kushner and the campaign chairman, were meeting on june 9th with people who they said were russian agents bringing them dirt on hillary clinton from the kremlin itself. why were they doing that? why was donald trump in the videotape that kate showed us on july 27th, russia please hack hillary, and cambridge analytica in touch i m cutting you off, paul. one thing that is important one person is a failed presidential candidate, the other one is the president right now. that is the difference in what we re discussing and why there is maybe a difference in significance and important distinction as we have the conversation. brian, i want to talk about something else. also happening right now, allies of mitch
