Several stories in the New York Times, world reaction to a proposal, trump is condemned in many languages. That is the story we are talking about this morning. As a reminder heres what donald trump had to say on monday. J trump is calling for a complete and total shutdown of muslims entering the United States until our countries representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. [applause] we have no choice. We have no choice. [applause] we have no choice. That was monday, donald trump talking to these reporters. That comment is storing a light of controversy and reactions from others of congress, those in the republican establishment. We are talking about it this morning. Republicans, call in, the line is 2027488000 for the ntains, or if you here is the full version of speaker paul rise in paul ryan yesterday. I made very clear at the time, they were not be a religious tests. It would be a security test. That is because freedom of religion is a fundamental constitutional principle. It is a founding principle of this country. Normally, i do not comment on what is going on in the president ial election. I will take an exception today. This is not conservatism. What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for, and more importantly, it is not what this country stands for. Muslims are there many serving in our armed forces dying for this country, there are muslims serving in the house , working every day to uphold and defend the constitution. Some of our best and biggest allies in the struggle and fight against radical islamic terror are muslims. The vast majority of whom are who believe in pluralism, freedom, democracy, individual rights. I called on members this morning to always strive to live up to our highest ideals. To uphold the constitution on which we swear every two years that we would defend. That is why we are here, and that is why we are going to stay here to be the peoples work. Host that is Speaker Paul Ryan yesterday. Call in and give your thoughts on his comments and Donald Trumps comments on monday. Roger is up first calling from iowa. Good morning. Caller thank you, good morning. Noticed that at least with mr. You let him do his entire speech and did not just do clips like they are doing with trump. Trump is being misrepresented. He is not a racist, he has a lot of muslims that are working for him. The muslims that are what we in our armedlims forces, agree with mr. Trump also. Tell whether it is a terrorist or not, you cannot risk letting them get to the country where they can go out there and find someplace where ths are not allowed and blow e hell out of people. Host you talk about how this debate has taken specifically in iowa, an important state in the president ial primary and caucus this . Caller they keep playing clips of what trump is saying, that he is not being accurately represented. The people that follow trump and are allo what he said, the more for him. , ifs making common sense you cannot tell a terrorist from a nonterrorist, you cannot risk the American Public by letting them into the country where they can go and get themselves a gun and kill a bunch of people. Saying,e, mr. Trump is i hope mr. President trump is saying, that until such time we can figure out what the difference is, we cannot risk taking the chance of letting them into the country. Not only that, if you wanted to reduce the strength of isis by about 50 , every time you get yourself a terrorist, you put their head on a stick and a central park. , a little bit more on what donald trump is saying about this band he talked about on monday. Yesterday, he added a few caveats to what he was talking about. Never intended to apply to former wish to return to the United States said the billionaire businessman and reality tv star. He just wanted to stop a new wave of muslims from moving in, until i will countries representatives can figure what is going on with radical islamic terrorists. Host john is from ohio. We are just talking to republicans in the segment. They haverump not been wanting him since he announced he was running for office. They are afraid of him, they cannot control them, he does not need their money. A lot of it is resonating with american folks because of his down to earth common sense. I believe that when the facts known, he will be exonerated from all of the publicity surrounding him. He should continue with what he is doing, yes thousands of he has thousands of people at his town hall meetings. The rest of them, except for mr. Cruz and mr. Rubio, they hardly have anybody at their outings. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell talked about this yesterday. He said a band stickley on muslims, banning people by a certain religion, is completely inconsistent with American Values. What do you think about American Values right now . Caller people that do not want to keep our country safe, or they want to have the politically correct answers to to questions and do not want have a forward outlook on the way the world is today. The main thing is, security for. He United States i have muslim friends that are because they do not and all ofgativity the focus being on the radical islamists. Be free of that so they can continue their lives and not have a stigma about them. Host that is john from ohio. Also, talking about American Values and his interview yesterday, he talked about trumps comments on monday. He said he disagrees with trumps proposal. It is the first time that the party chief is publicly criticized trump. He said we need to aggressively take on radical islamic terrorism, but not at the expense of our American Values. We are just talking to republicans. Katie, stephen from texas. Go ahead. Caller good morning. I just wanted to say that donald trump said what he said. Hello . Host i am listening. Caller yes, donald trump said what he said. He is trying to keep the focus on terrorists. We need to do something. We need to keep focused attention on the terrorist attacks going on in oklahoma, boston, is not good right now. He wants to keep everything focused on that. Everybody should be sticking with him. The reason why we are in this situation right now is because the American People voted president obama and he is doing nothing. He is ruining this country. Andld trump has good ideas we need somebody with a backbone to do something and keep the American People working and safe and Work Together. I think donald trump is the man to bring everybody together in this country. Callswe are taking more from just republicans. You can keep calling. We want to turn to billy house, Bloomberg NewsCongressional Correspondent who wrote a story yesterday about ryans comments. Good morning to you, things for joining us. Thanks for having me. Host or speaker ryans comments unexpected . Perhaps not unexpected, maybe surprising. We are a long way from that, but most of those voices involved condemning his remarks. They were not flatout saying they would not back him if he was the republican nominee. Host the house had a vote yesterday on tightening restrictions when it comes to the Visa Waiver Program. What that vote was about and what happened last night . That was a vote on a product of internal House Republican committee and grouping of recommendations. Requiring other countries to use biometrics, requiring other background checks. It passed overwhelmingly, both parties. 17 or 19 democrats voted against it. Theres not much controversy in that particular piece of legislation. Host are there other pieces of legislation moving through right now to put more restrictions on travel . Is so far on the on therm 1. 4 trillion spending bill. The measures that the house syrianlast month on the refugee screening. It has not gotten anywhere in the senate. Republicans in the house are fighting to have that attached to the bill as a policy. The tickingntioned clock. We have until friday at midnight for either a deal or some search of shortterm extension. We do have until friday officially. Speaker paul ryan yesterday said that the house would pass another one of those shortterm handful of days continuance of existing spending levels so that they can hiring out less the fee says, wrinkles in the larger bills. , negotiationsbill that could drag out all weekend. Kevin mccarthy announced were bey that there votes not just friday, but saturday, sunday, and monday. Host what are we hearing from the white house and what are they saying about the measure that is being moved through and the wrinkles that are being worked out. . Ball isg to carry the House Democrats in california. What they have said, they are not going to do under the longterm continuance of existing funding. Some house conservatives are asking for another sixweek extender. That is not going to fly with democrats. , 167ionally, democrats House Republicans voted for the budget voted against the budget in october. Therefore, you need our votes to pass the spending bill. With that background, they are making demands and have some leverage on everything from environmental riders writers, to blocking plant parented funders. They still have about 40 policy how spendingrect is allotted. Bill tot pass spending keep government operating, you should not be pressing ideological partisan matters. Host billy house is with Bloomberg News. If you want to check out his reporting, it is bloomberg. Com also, if you want to follow him on twitter. Viewersalking with our for the next half hour of us because ryans comments thatrday on the travel ban donald trump imposed is not what the party stands for. Republicans of the intro in central time zones, call 2027488000. If you are in the mountain and pacific time zones, call 2027488001. Caller good morning. Called paul ryans actions is pretty much in line with what donald trump said. I think the Republican Party is petrified that donald trump has solidified the lead and are taking the opportunity to knock him down. 99 of those refugees are muslim. I think there is an inconsistency and a lot of hypocrisy. I think republicans are just using this opportunity to knock him down. Pat, good morning. Outer i just want to point that unfortunately, although donald trump has an inflammatory tone and the vast majority of things he has said. Ultimately, we have to be aware as a nation, United States has 300 Million People. The population of the world is 7 billion and with the Natural Resources doing doing, we have to be concerned about our regarding the current state of affairs in the mindset of these extremists muslims. There is no way of us to obtain their motives and then pushing through the United States. It is somewhat disturbing to me individuals who feel this era of superiority and which they trying donald trump is a modernday Andrew Jackson in that regard for this ability to reach the modern man. Host Mitch Mcconnell was talking about American Values. Are you saying it is not a time to be concerned about debating what American Values are . It is a National Security question . Caller i believe it is a National Security question. The American Values is a fine line. You have to realize that we are and wep a certain amount have to the past. War,g the second world there was a lot of public outcry against germanamericans. It is a fine line. I think the most important aspect of this, is not to create an inflammatory heir because it will create more ignorance in the world. Ignorance is something we have to to combat as a whole. , i happen to respect the man, but he does walk a tightrope trying to inflame debate to keep himself in the limelight. That is a smart political move. Down inof knocks him the respectability fashion with his own party. I do think that we have to be aware of the fact that we can enjoy the freedoms that we have in this country if we allow our way of life to be overrun. Even europe, they were the most tolerant of people in the western culture after the second world war. Now, it is backfiring on them. You have countries in Eastern Europe that are closing of borders. Poland, they are not allowing these muslims into their part of your. Europe. It is scary that ignorance rules. Everyone wants an iphone and a gucci bag. They do not care because we are tolerant and loving and peaceful. It is frightening that they will allow themselves be swayed simply because you have to take a strong stance. It is fairly obvious. It has been different after 9 11. Host speaker ryan is not the only one speaking out yesterday. Other Party Leaders and members of the party speaking out against donald trump. He was on the house floor yesterday, this is congressman jolly. Call on donald trump to withdraw his candidacy for the white house. Test in thisurity nation. A National Security test. It is a real and audible threat. I have been most critical of the president foreign policy. I have theea greatest this agreement administration. Toave begged him to do more defeat the threat of terrorism. I believe his Oval Office Address sunday night was forgettable. Minutes suggesting he was going to do nothing different to defeat isis. He spent five minutes lecturing congress. He spent five minutes lecturing the American People. Test that a security i believe the president s policies have underestimated. A also test, we also face test of our commitment to religious freedom. One of the basic freedoms upon which our nation was founded. To defendher going that religious freedom, or we are not. Runner in thet president ial race that suggests it will be a religious test for anybody who wishes to come to our shores. It is a front to the very principles of which are very nation was founded. Host here are other Republican Forces from 20 yesterday. , whatr Lindsey Graham donald trump is doing undercutting everything we stand for and how you win the war. Marco rubio of florida also running for president , i disagree with Donald Trumps latest proposal and his habit of making offensive and religious outlandish statements when i bring americans together. Jeb bush said donald trump policies are not serious. A republican from new jersey, latest remarks insulting muslims are complete opposition to the very vision of our Founding Fathers who established this great nation. We are getting your thoughts, just republican viewers on this debate. John has been waiting from pennsylvania, good morning. Caller good morning. Bushis really funny, jeb who essentially represents the Establishment Party of republicans think that Donald Trumps comments are unhinged. They are out of touch with their voters. This is not about religious freedom, this is about common sense and security concern. We have a state department and president bringing in thousands and plans to bring more than that in the future of undocumented, unknown individuals from islamic in muslim countries who are in terror zones. At the same time, none of the questions have been persecuted none of the christians have been persecuted. We are not bringing refugee christians, we are bringing in tens and thousands of muslims from islamic countries were we know terrorism is going on. ,hey are attacking trump whether you should take a step back and look at this it if it makes sense. It is an unhinged Publican Party and i am a republican voter. They are not going to talk for a idate. E for a bleak cand if they vote for someone whos going to be democrat, Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Completely out of touch with their voters. This has nothing to do with religious freedom, it is about security issues. Host billy is up next from idaho. I am on board with fromd trump and jolly florida and get our president obama, if they are not on board with donald trump and shutdown reporters borders. That, andthey live in come back and see how they feel about it . It is a shame to know that our president is watching innocent people get slaughtered and killed and he does nothing about it. Rights a real leader there. The American People need to wake up. Next waitingis up from nebraska. We will try to get as many calls as we can in the 45 minutes. We are just talking to republicans in this debate in the Republican Party of what Donald Trumps comments over a muslim travel ban. Caller i believe completely with a couple of callers about the gop. Gop is absolutely however, if you listen to uae, they are now putting women into their politics. I
