mulvaney. director i'm optimistic and i'm glad to see that the president, you and the president, the administration, is looking ter owe side of the ledger sheet -- at the other side of the ledger sheet. costs and controlling spending after we move forward. i think his budget reflects that. i do have some questions about the budget. last may when you came before this committee to present president trump's f.y. 2018 budget, i expressed to you at that time, we had a private conversation, about the fact that the funding for the appalachian regional commission had been zeroed out. based on a dated study. this year, however, i'm very quite pleased that the administration's budget has maintained level find pfunding for a.r.c. at $152 million this. funding is so critically important for reinvestment and development of the appalachian region, including eastern and southeastern ohio where i live. and to ensure that appalachia doesn't continue to get left behind. i know the president's very concerned abou

director mulvaney: in 15 minutes. reducingnderstand that regulations is one of the president's top parties for his administration. something that we do not hear enough about. we have heard a lot about the tax cuts, which we will hear about in a moment. but when it comes to regulations, it is like it goes hand-in-hand with the. rollback and regulations. can you give us a progress report? devin nunes: sure. -- director mulvaney: i think the reason he did not hear about it is because it is going very well. we tried to talk about it every chance we get. [applause] up, weime we tally it have repealed about 1500 era regulations which are either stalled or repealed or cut. you saw this flurry of activity across all of the agencies this year, because the obama administration had done a bunch of things on the way out to that were easy to undo. but the really big stuff, they worked hard on, like the "clean , "waters of the u.s.." i do not think you will see as much deregulation in the second year of the administration, but you

mulvaney: in 15 minutes. deneen borelli: i understand that reducing regulations is one of the president's top parties -- priorities for his administration. it is something that we do not hear enough about. we have heard a lot about the tax cuts, which we will hear about in a moment. but when it comes to regulations, it is like it goes hand-in-hand with the rollback in regulations can you give us a progress report? mr. mulvaney: sure. i think the reason he did not hear about it is because it is going very well. the press does not like to cover stuff that is going well for the administration. [applause] we try to talk about it every chance we get. the last time we tallied it up, we have repealed about 1500 obama-era regulations which are either stalled or repealed or cut. we are going to do even more the next year. it takes a long time. , that is really quick why you saw this flurry of activity across all of the agencies this year, because the obama administration had done a bunch of things on the way out that

mulvaney: sure. i think it is going extraordinarily well and the press is not like to cover things going destroyed nearly well for the administration. [applause] we try to talk about it every chance we get. i think the last time we tallied it up, we have repealed about 1500 obama-era regulations which delayed, stalled, killed or something like that. we are going to do even more the next year. keep in mind it takes a long time. if it was really quick to put in a regulation, quick to get rid of it. that is why you saw this flurry of activity across all of the agencies this year, because the obama administration had done a bunch of things on the way out the door that was easy to undo. but the really big stuff, they worked hard on, like the "clean power plants", "waters of the u.s.," took years to get in place. we are 12 or 13 months and do it. i do not think you will see as much deregulation in the second year of the administration, but you will start to see the really big pieces of the puzzle come toge

mulvaney: here is a challenge we face. nobody was more disappointed than i was when we offered the budget that we could not figure out how to balance it in 10 years. here are the cards we have been dealt. when we sat with the democrats to talk about the money we needed for national defense, secretary mattis has spent his first eight, 10 months trying to figure out how much money we needed to fix the department of defense, not just some of the damage done by the previous administration, but deal with north korea. the number for this year's $700 billion. every time we met with democrats, with nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, they would say we are with you on this one. we want to defend the country as well as you would. the president walks out, and we say this will be easy. i said, this is not going to be easy, they are not telling you the truth. when we sat down to get into negotiation, they say we need $100 for defense, they say that is fine, we will give you that as long as you give us $100 for nondefense spending, stuff that

>> director mulvaney: go to your premise. your premise is that we're going to have larger deficits this year, which is absolutely true. we will always have larger deficits forever and ever and ever. it's going 2019, next year. at 1.2 trillion is the protection. >> director mulvaney: that's correct. that's probably close to being accurate. we haven't had a chance to completely integrate the numbers from the bill that passed a couple days ago to what we are working on last week but the truth of the matter is that we will have the budget on monday, which is tomorrow now. you will get a chance to see how we can avoid that future. a budget does been the trajectory down, it moves us back towards balance and gets us away from trillion dollar deficits. just because this deal was signed does not mean the future is written in stone. we do have a chance still to change this trajectory and that's what the budget will show tomorrow. >> chris: i sympathize with you because you were writing a federal budget, that's a comp located thing. it

mike mulvaney was asked today, he's the budget director, what happed to mick mulvaney the deficit hawk? he was, like, well, he's still here, but he understands, because the white house budget shows a doficit andesn't balance the budget. he's, like, but mick vaney understands it's up to congress to do these things and when we ask them to they justn't. >> woodruff: we'll have to leave it there. lots more opportuties to talk about deficits in the future. tam, amy, thank you both. >> you're welcome. >> woodruff: people going thout enough nutritious food remains an issue across thistr co and one program in iowa, tries to help solve two a probleonce: a burgeoning deer population and hunger. t from iowa publevision, josh buettner explains how hunters are helping mpty plates. >> as a hunterthat's what we want to see. that's telling us that we have . buck in the ar >> reporter: as a steward of the land, mike nelson implements conservation practice on his farm in central iowa's warren unty.oo however, one wand creature can respond a little too well to such rural accommodations. iowa corn ansoybe

mulvaney, by throwing more than 100,000 children off of head start. we need to move to universal pre-k. every family in america should know their kids have good quality child care. you don't throw 100,000 children off of head start. you don't help working families when your budget would eliminate financial aid to more than a million and a half low income college students. kids are graduating school $30,000, $40,000, $100,000 in debt. this budget makes their problems even worse. you're not a quote, different kind of republican by proposing a budget that would eliminate heating assistance to nearly seven million families in this country. let me tell the president, mr. mulvaney, it gets cold in vermont and many other parts of this country. many of our elderly people keep warm in the wintertime through the low income heating assistance program. don't eliminate it. mr. chairman, while president trump tells us we don't have enough money to help the working people of this country, he does believe we have enough money to provide a massive, massive, massive in

welcome, director mulvaney. i can't talk about this at length, but very disturbed that the trump administration reneged on the long-standing plan to consolidate the fbi campus in a way that would provide a more secure setting. we can have that conversation later. back in 2016, during the campaign, candidate trump called himself the king of debt. it is pretty clear that this is one of the promises he has kept as president of the united states. to my friend, senator corker, who says this is the first time we have seen an honest edge it -- budget, president obama presented budgets that were very honest. they did not balance and 10 years, and you and your republican colleagues ranked him over the coals for that. what we saw was a -- maryland our legislature is trying to pass laws to stop big tax increases on marylanders. few hundred 50,000 plus maryland households will see tax including 123,000 households with income between 25000 and 50,000. that is not a middle-class tax cut, that is a tax increase on hundreds of

mulvaney. during our hearing we will hear directly from the director of omb and we appreciate you being with us here today, mr. director. your insight will be very help of in our understanding. we see that the president's budget each year marks the beginning of the federal budgeting process or budget season as we like to call it, and the white house officially kicked it off on monday. while congress ultimately controls the purse strings, the president's budget request is still an important document for lawmakers to consider along the way. each fiscal year the administration's budget documents documents the president's policy and spending priority. these are important for both changes to consider as work crafting the budget resolution begins in earnest. without question there are plenty of worth while ideas included in the president's budget this year. first, i'm encouraged that the administration prioritizes and boosts the investment in our national defense. with mounting threats to our securit

budget questions for director mulvaney. i would like to congratulate the u.s. olympic team, who are off to a great start. with that, i will take your questions. reporter: rob porter's first wife spoke with the fbi as part of his clearance process on january 20, 2017, during which he says she laid out all of the allegations that have since been photographs.th the at any time between january 25 of last year and last wednesday did the fbi make anyone here at the white house, whether the counsel's office, chief office, of these else, aware allegations that had been raised against porter? press sec. sanders: look, we learned of the extent of the situation involving rob porter last tuesday evening, and within 24 hours his resignation had been accepted and announced. we announced a transition was going to happen, and within hours it did. the president and entire generate -- entire administration take mr. violence seriously and believe all -- take domestic violence seriously and believe all allegations should be investigated thorou

mulvaney, did he care? apparently not because he was on the side of equifax when he wasn't on the side of wall street, when he wasn't on the side of payday lenders, when he wasn't on the side of scam artists and maybe he's on the side of all of them. but apparently he thinks it's more important to protect the corporations that let it happen rather than protect the american people he's supposed to serve. i guess we shouldn't be surprised. once again mick mulvaney and this administration are making it clear whose side they are on. over and over they side with wall street, they side with the largest corporations. they side with companies that shut down production and mansfield, zanesville and move their companies overseas. they said with them instead of hardworking americans who are struggling. we see the consumer bureau with mulvaney's protecting corps interests, we see it with other watchdogs putting americans at risk just to help wall street pad their pockets. understand, as you know, mr. president, that wa

i think mick mulvaney if it came to that would be a great chief of staff. even white house spokesperson said earlier this week they had mishandled this. i do think the white house should have an accounting. who has security clearance and who doesn't? if you have to take time out and take another job. and the closest people to the present, cannot be operating with proximity to top secret classified information without a security clearance. i think it's pretty black and white. >>chris: we asked you for questions for the panel and we got this on twitter from breadth - - rights given the last year with high-profile harassment and assault, why wouldn't chief of staff kelly and white house counsel, don began have put porter on paid leave until these accusations were investigated? was the white house deaf and blind to high-profile assault stories? marie, how do you answer? >> i think the white house was a little blind here.this wasn't the first time they dealt with this. steve bannon was accused of assaulting his wife in the past as well. this is a process story i

but we're left wondering which mick mulvaney is the real mick mulvaney and isn't this the problem with congress? members can shamelessly grand stand for their constituents without worrying about the consequences. barack obama when he was a senator voted against john roberts for political purposes and then realized when he got to appoint on supreme court justices how frustrated he was that people passed political votes rather than on whether they were prepared for the job. the trouble is if enough members on either side continue to choose grand standing over governing, what do you think will happen? that is exactly what we have now. complete paralysis. we'll be right back. for all the eyes that get itchy and watery near pollen. there's flonase sensimist. it relieves all your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist. it's really hard to even think about her not being around... that's why i'm so grateful she got screened... and they caught the blockage in time. if you're over 50... call life line s

mick mulvaney, get it, you've got donors, you need to feed them. but payday lenders, the most predatory business practices to vulnerable americans. >> you would be shocked the degree to which payday lenders lobbies have an influence on this administration. >> it's a disgrace. >> the industry says we're providing loans for people who don't have other ways out of this. well, there are. and particularly with people who are having trouble paying their utilities, their heating, their energy bills, you can always go to those companies, and many state and local governments have options for people who are borrowing money to pay for their utilities. payday lending really is a last resort. >> send us a tweet, we'll help you find a resource. >> absolutely. >>> president trump's war on obamacare continues unabated. in january, the new republican tax law eliminated the individual mandate, the obamacare rule requiring most americans to either obtain health insurance or pay a penalty for not doing so. now the trump administration is proposing a new regulation tha

mick mulvaney said, normal and reasonable. this last week of the white house, did it feel that way, does it look that way? do you think that most americans watching this play out as they did said to themselves, yes, reasonable. >> if was isolated incident, maybe. but this is about something much bigger than rob porter. this is about the me too movement. the "access hollywood" tape. administration and president that time and time again has been dismissive of female voices and female concerns. at a time when women voters are incredibly motivate. you have women running for office in the mid term election at record levels. and you have a real anger among women in this country that they perceive men in power to not care about their concerns. and also comes at a moment where capital hill, republicans have much better story to tell. also this week in the house republicans under speaker ryan passed landmark that changed the culture of capitol hill to crackdown on lawmakers to make them pay out of pocket to of a sexual harassment settl
