In a nutshell:

Paul Ryan on the reception he is getting from constituents:

"The crowds are overwhelming supportive. I'm very excited."

Roll tape.

RYAN: I agree with the first ? I totally agree with that sentiment. First of all the tax system we have is a corrupt system it doesn?t work. It benefits a handful of people and businesses at the expense of everybody else. What I would say is let?s get rid of the tax shelters that let?s some pay get away with paying no taxes ?

CONSTITUENT: Do it first! (cheers from audience)

RYAN: Come on, it?s not worth the peanut gallery. Let?s clean up the tax code and lower our tax rates. The reason why I say, the president?s commission said the same thing, we?re taxing our businesses our employers, a lot more than our competitors are taxing theirs ?

(Audience boos, hisses)

CONSTITUENT: LIAR!

CONSTITUENT: He?s lying!

You could say the crowd was definitely enthusiastic, and overwhelmingly supportive of something, though I don't think it's Ryan's tax plan.
