And will have lunch with secretary mnuchin before meeting with officials from trucking companies.

Ill have updates on the weekend schedule for you hopefully tomorrow and finally yesterday pursuant to the president s executive order on interior enforcement signed january 25, the u. S. Immigration and Customs Agency i. C. E. Released a weekly list, which a number of Law Enforcement agencies have fail today comply with, where individuals who have arrested for violent crimes, in many case local Law Enforcement agencies are refusing to on our website theres a list of where the municipalities that are not cooperating. And since were talking Supreme Court, john roberts. Come on, that was good. Not bad. On health care the president came away from capitol hill sounding pretty positive about where he was going to go on thursday. At the same time Heritage Action came out and said it was going to encourage members to vote no. Attacking the bill, jim jordan said its still a bad bill. This is going to vote day after tomorrow. What gives the president the sense of optimism he can get this through and might he request more changes from speaker ryan before it goes to a vote . Weve talked about this for days, theres been a lot of input by members of congress and i think there was a huge sign of support and there was a lot of enthusiasm and optimism, from a lot of conservatives and democrats, for a more sen trick Health Care System. He will continue to meet all the way through thursday. But also as noted there were a lot of changes made by the speaker last night. Additional legislation, has been put forward to make sure that members understood the comprehensive nature of this. This is one vehicle. Theres a huge administrative piece that secretary price willster through administrative action that w will administer through administrative action. We can now unwind a lot of that and add a lot of consumer based and competition measures, but the third prong all the other stuff we talked about for years as republicans buying across state lines, expanding Health Savings accounts all that has been introduced as well and i think he continues to meet with members and walk away with a very, very optimistic view of where the bill is headed. I think a lot of the measures that you have been changed, tweaked and updated and concerns of members who wanted to see some additional tightening, but if you have been a conservative fighting for repeal and replace, this is your chance. If you are a conservative looking to address out of control entitlement spending, this is the first reform of an Entitlement Program in terms of medicaid in 30 years. These are truly a conservative set of principals we are fighting for. The competition thats in the bill. The ability to allow prices to come down and choice to go up. Theres nothing more conservative than in this bill and as members continue to talk about ideas included the bill and the principals of it we feel very good going into the final stretch. May he seek more changes . Very possible, but have made positive steps forward so i dont want to rule anything out but will say i feel very good about this where it stand now and i think the more an more members meet with the president they understand how important this is to the overall agenda, if you can repeal obamacare, replace it with a Health Care System that does what conservative, independents and frankly democrats have talked about for years, instill choice, drive down cost, actually get care promised and get on things like tax reform, it will be an amazing first year in office, and this is an amazing agenda he set forth that we can working to on. The stock market as a real time barometer, this afternoon its been off as much as 200 point ons t points on the dow, its because worried he might not be able to accomplish everybody he set out to do. Does the president believe todays dip in the dow is the result of his performance as president of the United States . I think to look at one day is nothing we have always cautioned. When you look at not just that one indicator. You probably know better than anybody in terms of what you cover that you cant look at one indices and say thats a benchmark, you look at surveys that show theres continued confidence in the market and apt mic optimism. Major ceos and small businesses, talk about job growth. I think the numbers we saw last month again one month doesnt make a record but it was very promising not because what the number was but what it forecasted to be, it came in at 235, so when youre overperforming i think that shows a sign of optimism and confidence in the market. Again, i want to make sure were clear before as we continue through the months one report does not make something to base an entire record off of but we feel good about the direction not just in terms of indices in ups and downs of the market, but restating commitment to grow jobs. Is that confidence to get a tax cut done, do you think we are well underway to seeing this agenda done, it reaffirmed his commitment and the priorities he set out making this country the increases in National Defense and Homeland Security that he promised prioritizing other things in the budget. Weve got obamacare, immigration executive order wise an i think when youre doing big thing, Obamacare Tax reform, its no small feat and what you have seen so far, moving along the senate ready to picket up. The nomination of neil gorsuch. The agenda is moving very brisk in terms of what his priorities were and where were headed. Consideration for carbon tax which was discussed at a meeting at the white house, were hearing theres a pretty lively internal debate. Gary comb might be more prone than that, is the president considering a carbon tax . I can theres a robust debate going on with respect to comprehensive tax reform and as we mentioned our goal right now is to get through thursday and what the president has talked about very publicly, we need to get obamacare repealed and replaced and move on to tax reform and some of the other trade reviews, im not going to comment on specific prongs of that but will tell you theres a lot of people who recognize we havent had comprehensive tax reform since 1986. Theres a lot of voices and opinions that get shared with him so im not going to get into a discussion commenting on piecemeal of this. When you look at the week ahead real quick, glen, in terms of this the repeal and replace from the legislative impact, i think its a pretty big week for the white house seeing this done. Hunter. President trump has previously indicated he wanted to appoint prolife judges who would be willing to overturn roe v. Wade though gorsuch said he would have walked out the door if he had this position. Is the president still confident that gorsuch would be willing to overturn roe v. Wade . I think both the federal side deem to be people who interpret the constitution as originalist, and im not going take the bait on a live hearing, but appreciate the comment. Recently a 14yearold girl was raped in the boys bathroom of her high school. A 17 and 18yearold boy have been charged one of the boys unlawfully entered the country, both out Standing Orders with i. C. E. , does the president hear a story like that and think it should be changed in a future executive order . I think first, let me just say that this is a tragic event, horrendous, horrible and disgusting what this young woman in rockville went through. I cant possibly imagine, so first of all lets remember the human side of this that this is a tragic event that no child, no person, no parent should ever have to deal with. School should be a place where their parent puts their child on a bus or sees them off and knows that theyre safe. And the idea that this occurred is shocking, disturbing, horrific, and whatever other words that come to mind that someone can think of because this is not school should be a safe place where children are there to learn and to feel safe in that kind of environment. To know this happened in the circumstances that this young woman in particular fought to come to this country because of the freedoms and treasures of this nation and to think this kind of tragedy would occur to someone who personally endured that type of struggle to come to this nation is reprehensible, it is not who we are as a country, it is troubling and further to your question, the president recognizes education is a state run and local issue, but it is pause for concern, i think the city should look at its policies and i think that this is something that authorities are going to have to look at. I think from an immigration standpoint clearly there are so in facets that deserve question, 17 or 18 years old 18, thank you, how does that person get put into the ninth grade . There so many issues that come up in this case i will leave it to authorities, but we are in the early stages and theres a lot to address. I hear about it being a state issue, lets talk about something that the president has introduced v. O. I. C. E. Is that enough . No, its one piece. The president understands that victims need a voice which is why he brought it into help them when theyre specifically targeted or victims of a crime by people here illegally, but part of the reason the president has made illegal immigration and crack down such a big deal is because of tragedies like this. We act so many times like why is the president dealing with this because of this priority, part of the reason is because of the tragedy that this young girl dealt with. Had inflicted upon her, whatever the word is. But this is why hes passionate about this because people are victims of these crimes in terms of them theyre victims the economic piece, a National Security piece, but immigration plays its toll on our people and this is an example and why the president is so passionate but recognizes why its multifaceted why i just read off this exec fi exective order and state in my opinion municipalities are not for whatever reason in some cases are prohibited but for whatever reason are not enforcing the law and turning the individuals over to be deported and i think is another reason why this issue needs to be address. John. Is the president going to hold accountable are they going to pay a price . I think they will probably pay a price at home. Meaning that you cant go promise over and over again lon and even the new ones this was a major component of the last election and probably was not a single republican member itself who went out and talked to this and i think when you realize the component of the bill and that the president worked with the house and the senate to achieve a promise made to voters. Yeah, i think theres going to be a price to be paid but its going to be with their own voters an theyre going to have to explain why they made a commitment to them and didnt follow through, people who agree or dont agree with the agenda at least give him high marks for keeping his word and promises and thats one thing hes made very clear this morning, we pledged to the American People at the congressional level, senate level president ial level to go do something and this bill while probably not everybody gets everybody they wanted does exactly what he said repealing and replacing all the aspects we discussed in a lot of cases back to 2010. One things he made clear this morning is he was going to make sure that the people who did support this, he would be out there supporting them and so im not goupg ing to focus on the negative as the positive, for those of you who go out there and keep your word, were going to gave to their voters. Margaret. That was the one i was going to ask. Its okay ive got another one. The other one is on the laptop restrictions by the u. S. And now the u. K. It certainly sounds like that might have been in response to some kind of specific security threat. What can you talk about from the podium in as much specificity as you can and if you cant do specifics help us understand are there multiple threats, one threat, like what is going on . Yesterday the tsa announced enhanced measures from the more 250 countries that have flights come sbo coming into the United States that serve as last points of departure, even adam schiff agreed saying these steps are both necessary and proportional to the threat. Elevated intelligence cates that terrorist groups continue to target commercial aviation and to under take their attacks to include smuggling explosive devices and based on this, they have determined its necessary to enhance security procedures for passengers at certain last point of departure airports. That being said, im not going to go any further than that. I would defer any further comment to the tsa. Mark meadows the president seemed like hechs ki was kind o joking but has the president decided whether it would be appropriate potentially to mount primary Opposition Campaign primary opposition in the midterm . Mark meadows was a long time early supporter of the president. He had some fun at his expense this morning during the Conference Meeting and he continue tod continued to express hope that head of Freedom Caucus would continue to see efforts to make this better, address a lot of the concerns out there, but he has made it very clear he was having fun with him. The president is committed to making sure this gets passed. Vivian. A followup to margarets question why wait for the aviations regulation 96 hours to wait, isnt the president s mantra that we have to kind of sneak up on our enemies, not let them know our tactics . I will ultimately refer you back to the tsa, but these are ten airports last point of departure of the 250 that come here. You have to provide opportunity to get those procedures in place, im not going to comment any further about the security measures that have been taking place or are taking place just continue to refer you back to tsa but will tell you implementing something over this nature in that timeframe is pretty darn quick. Something totally unrelated. Has the white House Counsel approved ivanka trump getting a west wing office and what is the administrations thinking behind this. I dont think council actually approves office space but i get your question, she continues to promote high measures of professional conduct. Shes taken advice of counsel. Health care to followup on the followups, you made it clear the president was going to be supporting those who supported the bill but when he talked this morning in the closed door meeting about people paying the price, is that an implied threat by the president for those who dont back the bill . No, i think its a reality. If you dont go out and back your people, there have been members there have been there one, two, three, terms, but has been clear if you give this to the American People we will get the done and to make a pledge of this magnitude and not follow it through im sure voters will be upset and have seen it in the past and its something that i think the president as i mentioned earlier has staked earned high marks for is keeping his
