Oh, what a relief it is pelley for Donald Trumps agenda to become reality, it must pass through the office of the speaker of the house, paul ryan. Ryan didnt want trump to be president. The men threw ugly names at one another, and ryan refused to campaign for trump. But elections have a way of proving that old adage, that politics makes strange bedfellows. We spoke with ryan on thursday in his Capitol Office about a partnership that may become the most scrutinized in washington. How often are you speaking to the president elect . Paul ryan about every day. Pelley do you call him, or does he call you . Ryan both. Pelley when you call over to the ryan he answers his cell phone. I sh probably shouldnt say that on tv. laughs he just he just answers the phone. Pelley you call donald trump on his cell phone . Ryan all the time. Pelley and how does he answer . What does he say . Ryan he says, hi, hello. Pelley he doesnt say, this is the president elect . Ryan no. Hes a pretty casual guy. He calls me paul. I call him mr. President elect, because i just i have a reverence for the office. But yeah, hes very casual about it. Pelley hey, this is paul. And heres heres something im thinking about. Ryan yeah, yeah. All the time. Pelley how long do those conversations go on . Ryan 20 to 45 minutes. Pelley have you told him being president is not being c. E. O. Of the united states, that the congress is going to have a say . Ryan oh, weve talked about that extensively. Weve talked about the constitution, article one on the constitution, the separation of powers. He feels very strongly, actually, that that, under president obamas watch, he stripped a lot of power away from the constitution, away from the legislative branch of government. And we want to reset the balance of power, so that people and the constitution are rightfully restored. Pelley and thats what donald trump believes . He believes in the separation of power . You dont think he thinks hes going to run this country the way he wants to . Ryan no, i think he understands theres a constitution, and that those separate but equal branches of government give us a limited government. And he believes that. Pelley you called donald trump a racist. Ryan no, i didnt. I said his comment was. Pelley uhhuh. Well im not sure theres a great deal of daylight between those two definitions. But he definitely called you ineffective and disloyal. Have you patched it up . Ryan yeah, we have. Were fine. Were not looking back. Thats behind us. Were way beyond that. Now were talking about, how do we fix this countrys problems. Pelley you know, im curious, though. How did you patch it up . Who apologized to whom . laughs how did that conversation go . Ryan we went fine. It was pretty much the day after the election, or maybe two days after the election, and we basically decided to let bygones be g bygones, and lets move forward and fix this countrys problems. And it was over and done with. And ever since then, weve had nothing but extremely productive conversations. Pelley paul ryan has led the majority in the house just over a year. He took the job, reluctantly, when his predecessor gave up on trying to pull the fractured party together. Ryan is 46, from wisconsin and an expert on the budget. What is the first bill you intend to pass . Ryan well, the first bill were going to be working on is our obamacare legislation. Pelley youre going to repeal it first . Ryan yes. Pelley youre not pulling the rug out from under the 20 Million People who already have ryan no, no. We pelley obamacare. Ryan we want to make sure that we have a good transition period, so that people can get better coverage at a better price. Pelley so what are we talking about . Months . Years . Ryan i cant give you an answer to that. Were still working on that. Pelley but people talked about three years, in terms of a transition. Ryan yeah, i dont know the answer to that right now. What we know is we have to make good on this promise. We have to bring relief as fast as possible to people who are struggling under obamacare. Pelley what do republicans intend to put in its place . Ryan patientcentered healthcare that gets everybody access to affordable healthcare coverage. So they can buy what they what they want to buy. Pelley so people will still get coverage, regardless of their preexisting condition. Ryan yeah. We think preexisting conditions is a very important feature of any healthcare system. Pelley children will stay on their parents plans until the age of 26 . Ryan yeah, thats something that we actually have always had in our plan, as well. Pelley and women will pay the same as men . That didnt used to be the case. Ryan it depends on the age of a person. So w we believe that we should have support based on age. The sicker and the older you get, the more support you ought to get. If youre a person that has low income, you probably should have more assistance than a person with high income, for example. Pelley is your plan going to cover everyone in america . Ryan we will give everyone access to affordable healthcare coverage. Pelley in the first year, what else do you expect to get through the congress . Ryan we really want to focus on Economic Growth and growing the economy. There are a lot of regulations that are really just crushing jobs. Look at the coal miners in the rust belt that are getting out of work. Look at the look at the loggers and the timber workers and and the paper mills in in the west coast. Look at the ranchers or or farmers in the midwest with with regulations. Pelley are you talking about rolling back environmental regulations, safety regulations . Ryan were talking about smarter regulations that actually help us grow jobs in this country. We want to have good stewardship and conversation of the environment and Economic Growth. We have a real Economic Growth problem in america. We are limping along. Wages are flat, and jobs arent being created near to the extent that they could and should be. So we think regulatory relief is very, very important, and thats something were going to work on day one. Pelley ryan told us that he can now support trumps changed positions on immigration from deporting all 11 million illegal immigrants, to focusing on only those whove committed crimes and from building a 2,000 mile wall to something less. Ryan no, were not working on a d deportation force. Heres what were working on with respect to immigration, securing our border, enforcing our current laws. He talked about criminal aliens. Thats just enforcing laws for people who came here illegally, who came and committed violent crimes. We should enforce those laws. But really, what were focused on is securing our border. Pelley well, trump said he was going to build a wall. Ryan yeah, i think conditions on the ground determine what you need in a particular area. Some areas, you might need a wall. Some area, you might need double fencing. I my own view on this is, whatever kind of device or barrier or policy to secure the boarder, thats necessary to secure the border, then do it. Pelley how big will the tax cut be for the middle class . Ryan well, again, we havent written this bill. But if you want to get a sense of what were looking at, its virtually identical with the one that donald trump rolled out in the campaign. It means everyone gets lower tax rates, but we plug loopholes to pay for it. Pelley but give me a number. What is the tax cut for the average middleclass family . Ryan when i have a bill, ill tell you the number. Lets do this again pelley youve thought this through. Youve been thinking it through for years. What would you like to see . Ryan yeah, so the tax rates that we talked about, for individuals, we would have a 15 bracket, i think a 25 bracket, and a 33 bracket. We have seven brackets. We consolidate down to three. The other thing thats really important in tax reform is making sure that we dont tax american businesses at much higher tax rates than our foreign competitors tax theirs. It is costing us jobs. Its one of the reasons all these American Companies are moving overseas. Pelley what should the Corporate Tax rate be . Ryan well, our plan says 20 , and Donald Trumps plan says 15 . Its now 35 . Pelley do you think the rich will benefit the most from your tax reform plan . Ryan heres the point of our tax plan grow jobs. Get this economy growing. Raise wages. Simplify the tax system, so its easy to comply with. Pelley you youre a little shy, when i ask you about the rich receiving the greatest part of the ryan well, heres the problem when you pelley of the tax cuts. Ryan when you ask these things. Most of that income is Small Business income. You have to remember, eight out of ten businesses in america, they file their business as individuals, as people, and so we think of that as the rich. But its that business in the in the Business Park out of jamesville, wisconsin, that has 50 employees. And do i want to lower their tax rates . You bet i do. Pelley mr. Trump promised a 1 trillion infrastructure program. What are you going to build, and how are you going to pay for it . Ryan well i think, that should be decided by the marketplace. That should be decided by the needs in the particular states and communities as to what is built or rebuilt. And its going to be one of our High Priorities that we are going to be addressing this year. Pelley one of your High Priorities that we heard almost nothing about during the campaign is poverty. Ryan actually, ive talked to him a lot about that. We feel very strongly about making work pay, about getting people transitioned from welfare to work. Get people skills they need, help they need, so they can get on the ladder of life. Pelley ryan told us he has no plans to change social security, but Government Health insurance, including medicare, is a fire, he says, burning in the budget. Ryan if you want to think of the the fire thats burning it is the fact that the baby boom generation, no offense, and theres a lot of you. Pelley i i qualify. Ryan yeah, you qualify. And and were just not ready for the retirement of the baby boomers, and wed better prepare for that. Pelley what changes do you plan for medicare . Ryan heres the problem. Medicare goes bankrupt in about ten years. The trust fund runs out of money. So we have to make sure that we shore this program up, and the reforms that weve been talking about dont change the benefit for anybody who is in or near retirement. My moms now enjoying medicare. Shes already retired. She earned it. But for those of us, you know, the xgen generation on down, it wont be there for us on its current path. So we have to bring reform to this program for the younger generation, so that its there for us when we retire, and so that we can keep cash flowing to current generations commitments, and the more we kick the can down the road, the more we delay, the worse it gets. Pelley but you are going to kick the can down the road for the next year or two. This is not your top priority. Ryan its not our t i havent even discussed this with with donald trump yet. But it is a it is an issue that we have to tackle. Pelley from his balcony, the speaker is watching the rise of Donald Trumps inauguration platform. But, for ryan, the best view in washington isnt a pretty sight. You know, one thing i noticed during our interview inside was that every time you talked about the evils of washington, you glanced out the window. Ryan i do, because thats where all the bureaucracys are. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Thats right. Pelley you think of this town as part of the problem, not part of the solution. Ryan absolutely i do. If you look down, i can see h. H. S. , education, e. P. A. Pelley the two most prominent things on the skyline from this Vantage Point are the Washington Monument and the new trump hotel. Ryan thats right. Thats what i knew you were going to say. Pelley the new trump hotel. Ryan thats the new trump hotel. Yeah he notic he actually noted that, when i took him up here. Pelley i bet he did. He probably told you what a great place it was. Ryan he said Something Like that. Pelley is that a reminder of whos boss . Ryan the Washington Monuments the tallest one. And by the way, the dome, its a little higher. Pelley beneath the dome, ryan will have a front row seat to trumps swearing in. Did you believe he could be nominated . Really . Ryan yeah, no, i i didnt see this one comin. He knows that. I dont think most people in the country saw. If you wouldve put last year into a movie script and taken it to hollywood two years ago, they wouldve laughed you out of the room, because it wouldnt have been believable. Pelley did you see Election Night coming . Ryan no, not really. I think pelley you expected Hillary Clinton to win. Ryan i thought the odds were clearly in her favor. So i was a little surprised, pleasantly so. Pelley do you trust him . Ryan yeah. Pelley heres something many people wonder. Does he say the same bizarre things to you in private that he says in public . And its an important distinction ryan you know, i think there is a bit of a difference between the private person and the public person. In the private person, theres a conversation like this, and its all about how to get things done. So every conversation i have almost always revolves around, you know, personnel and policy focused on producing results. Pelley trump tweeted, in the last week or so, that he had actually won the popular vote, if you deduct the millions who voted illegally. Do you believe that . Ryan i dont know. I im not really focused on these things. Pelley wait a minute. Wait a minute. You you have an opinion on whether millions of americans voted illegally . Ryan i i have no way of backing that up. I have no knowledge of such things. Pelley you dont believe that ryan but i dont it doesnt matter to me. He won the election. Pelley but how, we asked, does he negotiate with a man whose word, or tweets, cannot always be believed . Ryan look, sighs , like i said, hes going to the way i see the the the tweets youre talking about, hes basically giving voice to a lot of people who have felt that they were voiceless. Hes s communicating with people in this country whove felt like they have not been listened to. Hes going to be an unconventional president. I really think we have a great opportunity in front of us to fix problems, produce results, and improve peoples lives. Thats why were here in the first place, and so thats whats going to matter at the end of the day. Did we improve peoples lives . Did we solve the problems that the American People need solved . Are we addressing the concerns of people who are tired of being tired . And who cares what he tweeted, you know, on some thursday night, if we fix this countrys big problems . Thats just the way i look at this. Speaker ryan shared more details with scott pelley about his agenda for the trump administrations first days. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com sponsored by lyrica.
