randy is from why lander wisconsin. randy told me that the affordable care act has been a savior for his wife, who was diagnosed with kidney failure more than two years ago as a result of an autoimmune disease. she has to have dialysis three times a week. the law eliminated her lifetime yes, t maximum limit -- on second yeah, the law eliminated her lifetimee maximum limit. and that helps them afford life-saving care. and it prevents her from being denied coverage because of her pre-existing condition. randy said the repealing the law will force them to face the harsh reality of not only losing insurance, but also declaring bankruptcy. i also heard from sheila. sheila is a small business owner who relies on the premium tax credits that helped her purchase purchaser health plan through the marketplace. she writes, i just wanted wanted to let you know how devastating it would be for my family if the affordable care act is repealed. to take away the subsidies which pretty much on the plant into ar affordable care act, she t

oh, wisconsin. got it. mr. speaker, god bless them, god bless you, god bless wisconsin. god bless the members of this house. god bless the united states of america. this is the people's house, this is the people's gavel. in the people's name it is my privilege to hand the gavel to the speaker of the house, paul ryan. the speaker: thank you very much.

we can't find welders in wisconsin. you can make a very good income as a custom high-skilled welder. and so employers are now just taking -- robert and i were talking about that -- are taking it upon themselves to go train people. we've got a situation where i think this election uncovered this. there are a lot of working class people who were doing well and are doing much, much worse, who don't see good prospects in front of them, and who don't have an education system to help them acquire the skills that they need to get a better job. and that better job isn't there because we have bad domestic policy which is making it harder for that better job to be created in the first place. so that is why this issue of upper mobility should not be a segment of this -- we shouldn't be speaking to people as if they're in some class. we believe in upper mobility, so we've got a multi-front policy war we're going to have of a battle of ideas to deal with economic growth, american competitiveness, restoring jobs, manufacturing, closi

-- >> wisconsin. >> the great state of wisconsin, i suppose. >> go packers. all right. >> is that -- was this position on trade? it really motivated a lot of voters. it's a position you don't share. i want to introduce you to bill jones. he's a tool and diamond maker and runs a medium sized manufacturing company. >> mr. speaker, i have concern about our trade deals, our unfair trade. we have lost in the past decade probably hundreds of jobs. our community has lost thousands of jobs. these are good jobs in the community with health care and retirement benefits. i actually started supporting mr. trump more when he started talking about fixing the trade deals. our support grew because without trade deals and fixing them, our country will not have good paying jobs we need. now my question to you, mr. speaker is how will you as leader of the house, help with this new administration fix these trade deals. >> it's a great question, actually, and we've talked about this a lot. the president elect and his economic team and myself how do we work together to do just wha

the state of wisconsin switched sides in this election. its largely white, working—class electorate normally votes democrat, but this time they chose trump. a little brassy, but i will give him a try. they like giving new things a try here, like soccer on ice. but might a trump presidency end up feeling like this? your gloves are nearly as big as my hands. engineerjason is confident. after nine redundancy threats in six years, he says it's time for a businessman in the oval office. it would be nice to have a bit more stability in the job front, so i'm hoping that from an economic standpoint, trump reflects giving that stability back to the country. are you more optimistic for your own family and household economy now? absolutely. take about four steps. confidence on the ice is another matter, for me at least. torvill and dean! some of america's top ice athletes practise on this rink. i understand you like to do this? but you're not doing that as much. nancy was an 0lympian and is now a coach. it's time to be a little risky. she told me d

wisconsin is a perfect example. reagan in 1984 is a good example -- we are pretty much typically able to state. how is it that donald trump wins wisconsin? he got disaffected blue-collar voters that are traditional union households to vote for donald trump. we together emerged forces on the end. we got the unified republican party. we got the college educated suburban republican voter that said, i like the unified republican government. charlie: including women. speaker ryan: we got them to come home. we got the reagan democrats to come over. think the obama coalition produced for hillary. that coalition just did not turn out nearly like it did for barack obama. he is unique, as you said, internet not translate to -- and it did not translate to her. those things i would describe as this victory, but donald's role in this ia tapping into a frustration and relating with people. charlie: what do you make of the people that say the election was one part that, one for james comey, and one part of what the russians did ag

and who won the state of wisconsin? a man by the name of bernie sanders. who won the state of minnesota? bernie sanders. you know, i don't want to replay the election at this point. >> it's tough not to, huh? >> it's hard not to think, i think a lot of people, i know hillary supporters, i supported her in the general election. believe that it was clear that people wanted change. and in these three states, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, if you put the difference between hillary and trump, the difference that she lost by, it doesn't fill the stadium in ann arbor. all three states -- >> very narrow, 10,000 votes in michigan? >> 10,000 in michigan, 77,000 total between pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. >> i guess my point is -- again, i'm not against the march, i don't have an opinion on the march. but if you're looking to 2020 or even 2018, does this message help you guys get that power back in congress? >> you're talking long game. there's a short game, too. we're talking about 2018 necessarily right now. we're talking about monday. monday, fello

i live in wisconsin, live on the block i grew up on. the people i went to high school with, most of them either went to the gm plant or something like that in janesville. our big employer since 2009 was -- until 2009 was general motors. there for about 85 years. you could get a really good job there and have a very nice life and your kids can do the same. that just went. we lost the plant like that. now they are all made in texas. there really was not anything to replace those jobs. the guys want to high school with, they either moved because they had seniority so they went indiana, or ar couple other places, arlington, or they did something else. a buddy of mine who i worked with on an adoption case, he is a nice guy at a convenience store. he would from a good, skilled job with great benefits, six-figure income at gm to the manager at basically a 7-eleven. quik trip. actual himly worked at a trip in kansas. ?peaker ryan: really i didn't know it went that far west. there is a perfect example -- his name, john --of the anxiety and the l

i live in janesville, wisconsin on the block i grew up on. most people i went to high school that either went to the gm plant or something like that in janesville. our big employer until 2009 was general motors. they were there for about 85 years. you could get a really good job there and do very well and have a very nice site and your kids could do the same. that just went. we lost that plantlike die. we made tacos and suburbans and there really wasn't anything to replace those jobs. these are the guys i went to high school with. they either move in the system because they went to st. louis or kokomo, indiana and a couple of other places where they just did something else. a buddy of mine who i worked with on an adoption case, two little girls from india he and his wife adopted goodies to make a quick trip, which is a convenience store. he went with a good skill job and a six-figure income at gm to the manager at quiktrip you would think of 711, wisconsin's version of that. >> i worked at quiktrip. >> i didn't know it went that far west. so

the people sent me here to stand up to powerful interests and fight for wisconsin's working class, help them get ahead. they're struggling. and i think moving forward to the extent that trump came to washington and promised working people things like getting rid of unfair trade deals and buy america policies, et cetera, we need to hold him accountable to those words and when he's going to do things that harm the working people of my state we resist with every ounce of our energy. >> what does that mean? one of the things that happened -- so right now this hill article today was interesting to me because i think the aca fight has taken front and center because they moved on that first. they'll move that through the budget. funny we're passing budgets again, we haven't done that for a while. but they're going to move that through reconciliation. it will mean they don't need to clear the filibuster threshold of 60. what can you practically as a senator? can you slow things down? do you think you can win over three of your colleagues? >> first of all, as we did last weekend, engaging the pe

i was in rural wisconsin. i could feel it, they liked it, they wanted somebody that didn't seem like a politician, and boy, this guy really fit the bill. >> sandra, when you go back to the escalator moment -- >> [laughter] >> this is going to be good. >> i remember watching it. i was watching it live as a happen, and he came down, there were reports that he actually hired actors and supporters. he was kind of going on this sort of -- >> association. >> consciousness of speech. he had the spittle on the side of his mouth. at one point they brought the music out. he cut the music and went on for 20 more minutes. i was like, okay, this is ridiculous. this is not a real campaign. about a month later, once he made a few comments like that mccain comment, i prefer people that are captured and at that kind of thing, once he wasn't really taking a dent in his primary point out, i was like, all right, underestimating the sky is a real mistake. i think it took the other campaigns way too long to figure that out. >> also

how is it donald trump wins wisconsin? he got disaffected blue-collar voters, union households to vote for donald trump. we together merged forces at the end and had our frictions before, we merged forces and got the unified republican party to unify and the college-educated suburban voter -- >> charlie: including women. >> we got them to stick with the republican party and trump donal democrats and the obama coalition didn't turn out for barack obama. i think the combination of things is how i would quickly describe the victory but donald's role in this is tapping a frustration, giving voice to it and related with people. >> what do you make of it when they say it was one part that and one part james combey -- comey and one part russians. >> i don't dispute that because all it did was reinforce the existing story. the russians and jim comey didn't put this stuff on computers. they were self-inflicted wounds and the narrative was already out there but i think what she did not do was connect with people and the way her pred

host: michelle is calling in from wisconsin. a parent. good morning. caller: good morning. i am a parent of an artistic -- autistic son. 18, i had a heck of a time fighting for his education rights because they felt that he needed to be put back into a public school rather than a special school. they could not deal with it. i really had to fight with them. the school district, the thing so muchts have been cut for public schools that they are limited on what they can do. of course, i had to keep fighting for that. i also had to get the special advocacy groups here in wisconsin involved and had them attend his iep because i had so much resistance from the school district for his special education. end, we were able to keep him in his special school. during the process, it was always brought up, we don't have the money to do this. i bluntly told them that was not my problem. that is the district pose a problem. they need to come up -- district's problem. they need to come up with the money. the students who are special needs who need special education, that is their right. th

you can look at a state like wisconsin, governors like scott walker are asking for amore control over the refugees coming into the states because they don't trust that the federal government is properly vetting them. it's not just obama's national security people who have said they can't properly vet them, there's also another thing happening where they are actually going into the communities, they're hiring third parties to go into the communities and determine whether the communities can actually handle them moving in. and this normally takes months if not weeks. now they're taking suddenly two, three days. what's happening? people are distrustful. >> amy, rachel points out in wisconsin governor scott walker is asking for more control. the federal government will literally place refugees in wisconsin and any state and the governors who may not want the refugees have no say over it. >> a number of governors have opposed this, that's exactly right. bringing syrian refugees into this country at this moment i believe is the height of irresponsibility. we have the fbi director james come

he comes to cal from the university of wisconsin where he served as a defensive coordinator. and this is his first head coaching job. he did coach cal's linebackers for three years back starting in 2003. >>> all right. so cal has a new head coach. the waiting game for the niners continues. they are now the only nfl team still looking for their head football coach. team ceo jed york yesterday interviewed former oakland raiders head coach tom cable. cable is currently seattle's offensive line coach. the niners, though, are looking for more than just a head coach.

the federal government will literally place refugees in wisconsin and any state and the governors who may not want the refugees have no say over it. >> a number of governors have opposed this, that's exactly right. bringing syrian refugees into this country at this moment i believe is the height of irresponsibility. we have the fbi director james comey also a national intelligence director james clapper both testifying that we have no ability to properly vet syrian refugees. there's a very simple reason why, we don't have intelligence on the ground to tell us exactly who they are. in this era of terrorist attacks here on u.s. soil and europe we've seen in europe with their refugee crisis in france, for example, the massacre was committed by quote unquote syrian refugees using syrian passports and gunning down people. it's outrageous. we need be very careful until we have this uer control. i agree with mr. trump, we need to take a serious second look. >> the government is not allowed, not allowed to follow the refugees once they're placed. they don't track them. they don't find out wha
