Face in the News: Paul Ryan discusses his new role as Speaker of the House, Marco Rubio responds to Jeb Bush

WASHINGTON (CBS News) - This week on "Face the Nation," we spoke with the newly elected Speaker of the House, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). During our discussion, Mr. Ryan made it clear that he would not work on Immigration Reform under Obama's presidency and also spoke to us about his goals of leading and uniting the Republican Party. We also spoke with Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Marco Rubio. Rubio, coming off of an impressive debate performance, spoke to our host, John Dickerson, about his campaign, his relationship with fellow Republican presidential candidate, Jeb Bush, and many other topics.

The New Speaker of the House, Rep. Paul Ryan, has said that he wants to take tough issues head on, but in our conversation with Ryan he stated that immigration reform is "not in the cards."

"I think it would be a ridiculous notion to try and work on an issue like this with a president we simply cannot trust on this issue." He told Dickerson, adding that "He [Obama] tried to go it alone, circumventing the legislative process with his executive orders."

Ryan also noted that under his leadership, policy making would be done in a bottom- up approach stating, "I was not elected dictator of the House. I was elected speaker of the House." The Congressman from Wisconsin admitted that he was "redesigning" the role of Speaker of the House and told Dickerson that it will be his job to "lead through consensus, but not to dictate that consensus."

Our interview with Mr. Ryan made headlines in The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Politico, The Hill, The Huffington Post, Bloomberg, USA Today, AP, The New York Daily News, The Washington Examiner, The Guardian, The New York Times, The New York Post and The Daily Mail.

GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio also appeared on the program and responded to the concerns of his ongoing missed Senate votes. "The truth is I don't like missing votes." The junior senator from Florida explained, "But what I would really hate is to wake up on the first Wednesday of November to the news that Hillary Clinton has been elected president of the United States." During the show Rubio said that he misses those votes campaigning so that in the future those votes could actually mean something.

"Far too many votes today in the Senate are predetermined. We know what the outcome is going to be." Rubio said, adding that "even if you could find enough votes to pass it, the president would veto it."

Host, John Dickerson, also asked Rubio about fellow GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush, following a testy exchange between the two candidates at the last Republican Primary Debate hosted by CNBC.

"He was a great governor of Florida. He's someone I have tremendous personal affection for. My issue is not with Jeb Bush. I'm running for president because I honestly believe that our party and our country needs to turn the page and allow people, a new generation of leadership that understands the issues before America now."

Rubio did not appear to be bothered by the Bush campaign calling him the "Republican Obama" instead he retorted, "obviously someone has convinced Jeb that attacking me is going to help his campaign. It won't change the way we run our campaign."

Our conversation with Sen. Marco Rubio was covered by The Washington Times, Politico Playbook, The LA Times, The Washington Examiner, and The Orlando Sentinel.
