good speaker. he s a good friend of ien and i ve been able to watch what he was able to achieve. tax reform that has not been done for many years. i ve watched what you re quoting something based upon a book that i have not read and in talking to speaker ryan, i know that s not the words he would use because i ve been in rooms with him and the president. these are two individuals that got along very well. in there they talk about the president coming from business. that s exactly what america needed. a president who would come in and shake up washington. speaker ryan was perfect in the job where he was at, the knowledge of what he had and that combination together, we made sure in this congress that we got tax reform done. remember this, article 1, section 7, tax reform doesn t start in the senate, it starts in the house. and without speaker ryan and without president trump, it never would have gotten done. thank you.
