>> jon: good having you with us today. >> julie: can i come back tomorrow? >> jon: yes. absolutely. >> julie: "outnumbered" is right now. >> paul ryan not seeking re-election in november after nearly 20 years in congress. the wisconsin lawmaker says he will serve out his term and retire in january. his announcement adding a new layer of concern for republicans already facing a tough battle holding on to the house in november. this is "outnumbered." i'm sandra smith. here with us, melissa francis, katie pavlich, marie hearth. and joining us -- >> the other co host. >> davis asmin. >> it's great to be back.

>> there we go. >> i sang that song. now it's in our head. a lot of news to get to. paul ryan announcing today he's not seeking re-election. the wisconsin republican will serve out his term before stepping down in january. he explained his decision. >> today i'm announcing that this year will be my last one as a member of the house. leaving this majority in good hands. my dad died when i was 16. the age my daughter is. i just don't want to be one of those people looking back on my life thinking i should have spent more time with my kids. they will only know me as a weekend father. >> the dccc which works to get democrats elected put out their own theory. they wrote speaker ryan sees

what is coming in november and is calling it quits for the many vulnerable house republicans that paul ryan is abandoning, historically failed policies will hang over their re-elections like a dark cloud. here's how the speaker responded. >> i don't think it affects it. if we do our jobs, which we are, we'll be fine as a majority. i'm grateful for the president to give us a chance to get this stuff done. we're going to have a great record to run on, more to do. i don't think the american people are going to want to have the gridlock that the democrats are promising. >> kevin mccarthy and steve scalise said to be among those that could replace ryan if republicans hold their majority in november. lots of room for speculation there. but for now, the news is that paul ryan is not running for re-election. david asman? >> it's about 2024.

his idle was a guy with the initials j.f.k. i'm not talking about kennedy. jack f. kemp. jack kemp was another failed vice presidential candidate as paul ryan was. i think paul ryan has always wanted to put on a national level the kind of things that he's doing for his individual constituencies right now. he's looking to the presidency in 2024. he will probably get a job that has something to do with public policy, maybe -- speculation four weeks ago when bill gates came to washington, maybe he would be working for the gates foundation. also speculation that he would work for american enterprise institute. he will probably stay focused on public policy issues but from a nonelected position and work his way back into the race on a national level maybe even before

2024. >> and he's a young guy. he says he has a big family in wisconsin, a young family. he doesn't want to be a weekend dad. >> normally when somebody says that, i sort of like oh, yeah, spend more time with your kids. now you care about doing this. i actually believe him when you listen to the way he said it and you know how young his family is and how reluctant he was and what that job really entails. that's the idea of being a weekend dad. i believe him there. but somebody ambitious enough to get to this point, those ambitions don't go away. so david's theory is right. i worry -- i always -- i like the idea that he was the guy that could do math. i worry so much about the budgets and the deficits and all of those things in our count trip. he's not going to be doing that now. at the same time, did feel like he was a little entrenched, right, david? >> the perfect example of that is his focus on trying to get obamacare through for the first eight months of the trump

presidency. obamacare repeal. he should have focused on taxes. the president wanted to focus on taxes. a lot of us -- >> and his two major accomplishments is overhauling the tax code and he said rebuilding the military. >> yeah. paul ryan, i give him credit for leaving washington on a high note. we talk about it all time on the show. people that should have gotten off the stage, should have left a long time ago. he at the beginning of the speakership had to be dragged into the position. paul ryan is one of those people that is ambitious. obviously, his work speaks for itself. it's not like paul ryan went to mitt romney and scraping to get into the presidential position. he didn't do that with the speakership. for him to call it quits on a high note and say i'm done with this, i want to go back to his family which is consistent what he said is admirable at a time when people don't do that. >> i agree. also, this republican caucus and the house has not been easy to

manage. you brought up the obamacare repeal and replace. he has the freedom caucus, the moderate wing. >> and the president. >> you're right. it's hard for people once they're speaker to say in the house as a member. we talk about people that should have left after they lost the speakership. i'm sure everybody will mention nancy pelosi. but it's hard for most speakers. john boehner, a long list have left. this is the right time. he's young. he has ambitions. this is not the last of paul ryan. >> no. he was very optimistic in his -- looking into the future for his party as he left it off at the news conference saying he's absolutely confident that he will be handing his gavel over to a republican speaker of the house in january. >> you focus on the key aspect of his character that is so likeable. he's an optimist. he's that ronald reagan type of optimist.

he work at the side of jack kemp for many years. he was an apprentice. they both had this optimism about what america is capable of. all the legislation is couched in that idea of what america is. that is the most -- the grandest experiment politically that this world has ever seen. it continues to be that way, could continue to be that way. he has that reagan optimism that will do him well in the future. >> maybe you don't agree, maybe being optimistic about november and the republicans changes. his home district is a tighter race than the pennsylvania district that conor lamb just won in. now, he was going to be fine if he ran, but i think he's a little overly optimistic about the republicans. >> you have to be. >> you have to talk that way whether you feel it or not. the democrats have talked about him with a fund-raising money and with him out of the way, that will be tough. the president is a fund-raising

machine. all of these issues cut both ways in the sense that anything that makes it seems to make fortunes worse for one person but it panics the people that will get out and vote. it like you better vote for the republican in your district because a democrat is trying to take your president away by impeaching him. with paul ryan stepping down, that can energy republicans in the same way. i agree. it's all up for grabs. these things cut both ways. >> can i make an announcement about his successor? it could be mr. mccarthy or mr. scalise. i put in a bid for scalise. scalise took a bullet for his team. the president loves him. he has this common man outside of the beltway attitude that works. >> i agree. steve scalise is connected to the heart of the country. he understands trump voters and

the issues they're concerned about. he's a valued and principled man. he has a good relationship with a lot of people on capitol hill. more conservative. he's not part of the establishment, although he's been in leadership. i think he would be a great choice. >> and a strong advocate of the president's policies. >> and mccarthy has been lobbying for this. he has been actively -- >> that might be the problem. >> exactly. that could be a problem. he's been really working hard with the president to show he's a team player. it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. >> it will be interesting to see what paul ryan himself has to say this afternoon. he will be sitting down the dana perino today. this will be his first one-on-one interview since making this big announcement this morning that he will not run nor re-election. that's at 2:00 p.m. eastern time on "the daily briefing" here hahn the fox news channel. so keep it here. all eyes on capitol hill meanwhile as mark zuckerberg faces a second day of grilling

from lawmakers over the privacy scandal. what he's admitting. plus, president trump vowing to defy russia's warning and strike syria after al-assad's gas attack on his own people. we'll talk about the military options and when a strike could be coming. we're finally back out in our yard, but so are they. the triple threat of dandelions, lurking crabgrass and weak, thin grass! introducing the all new scotts turf builder triple action. this single-step breakthrough changes everything. it kills weeds, prevents crabgrass for up to 4 months, and feeds so grass can thrive, all guaranteed. only from scotts. our backyard is back. this is a scotts yard.

>> fox news alert. president trump threatening air strike in syria after the u.s. warned about taking military action. this is all after syria's chemical weapons attack. the president said russian vows to shoot down missiles. get ready, russia, they'll be coming, nice and new and smart. you shouldn't be partners with a gas-killing animal that kills his people and enjoy it. nikki haley also had strong words and calling for an investigation. >> history will record on this day, russia chose protecting a monster over the lives of the syrian people. >> david, what is interesting,

president trump has gone out and tweeted and said missiles are coming. jim mattis was interviewed and said they're still looking at intelligence in terms of whether assad is responsible. which is it? >> the myth that russia was not somehow involved after they totally denied that there was a chemical attack. we've seen the evidence. they're coming out these fantasies in the u.n. saying there's no ed. october, they vetoed any u.n. group -- >> which is what they do. >> exactly. john mccain has been critical of the president for telegraphing his signals about a strike. the president famously has said before, you should never telegraph whether you're going to go in or going to pull out. the president also -- john mccain said his telegraphing that he wanted to pull troops out of syria may have been what emboldened assad.

the point is something has to be done. after the tomahawk attack on that one air base done by this president who saw assad cross the red line, the president unlike his predecessor did something when this guy crossed the red line. that made the world realize president trump is different. he's going to take action. so the world realized even without him saying so that something will be done. i don't know what it is. something will be done. >> last year didn't prevent assad from doing it again. >> it didn't. >> bob corker was just on fox radio. he said that he's concerned that the president is not going to act, especially after he tweeted that he is. what do you think will happen here? has president trump drawn his own red line? >> yes, he's drawn a red line but he will october. that was meant to deter general jack keane. obviously he knows what he was

doing. he said the same thing, that there needs to be some sort of much more forceful, you know, sort of action that would include completely getting rid of those weapons by force. that you can, you know, blow up the chemical weapons if they exist underground but involves people and planning and movement. i would bet that's what's going on right now. i don't think -- i don't mind the tweets because he's sort of giving fair warning to russian that we're not kidding. let's be frank. the u.s. has lost credibility in the past years about whether or not they're going to act. so i think the time for subtlety is gone. >> it's unfair to say the president only spoke to the assad tweet. >> he's forward leaning. >> he said he would respond forcefully. however, going back to your point about the president said since day one, why telegraph your strategy? why put it out there nor the world to do next. so why did they put a tame frame

on it? >> i don't know why the president does a lot of things. this could be his way of negotiating to try to get russia to back off. >> good point. >> that's what i think. >> russia's response is laughable. they said this morning that trump's promises to destroy evidence of the chemical attack. so they're admitting there was a chemical attack and now warning the united states not to send the missiles in because could destroy the evidence. but to go back to the political narrative here. i think this proves that the narrative that president trump isn't tough on vladimir putin and russia is dead. >> totally. >> because obviously he's threatening military force. it gets very complicated though when russia is allowing bashar al-assad to use russia bases to take off. what are we going to do? bomb the bases? >> there's an associated press report, russia military to

deploy troops to douma. this might be some bull from the russians trying to forestall an attack. if russians are there and killed as a result because of what general keane said we should destroy all six air bosses. >> last week president trump made very publicly that he wants the u.s. out of syria at the latest six months from now. this has the potential if we go off all six airbuses to draw us deeper into syria. so i think that's part of what the president is wrestling with right now. >> put a question back to you. the president described this morning our relationship with russia is worse now than ever been before including cold war. >> i don't think that is true. during the cold war we had nuclear weapons in cuba pointed to the united states. that's not a historical comparison. it's different than the cold war now.

to look at it through that lens does a strategic disservice. >> i want to go back to the pin trick idea. the obama administration was heavily criticized for not getting the job done. the reason why general jack keane says you have to take out all six of the air bases, after we launched the tomahawk missiles last year, planes are taking off the same day from the location that they were bombs. so you have to do it or not at all. >> remember the misinformation from the previous administration including gen kerry who said we got rid of 100% of the -- i'm going to quote him. we struck a deal where we got 100% of the chemical weapons out. not true. >> if you read everything john kerry and i said at the time -- >> i just quoted him. >> it was very clear we were talking about the weapons he declared. >> he later said good-bye as

secretary of state and -- >> no, no, no. >> he said he made a mistake saiding that. so he admitted it. >> i said declared because we always said he could have held on to some. getting 1300 tons out but it's a bigger problem. >> but not 100% of the weapons. >> meanwhile, the russian investigation is heating up amid widespread reports that the president is considering firing robert mueller. the white house says he has the power to do it so what can we expect to happen? today is the deadline for the fbi and doj to turn over the unredacted document that sparked the russian probe and how devin nunes says he's prepared to take action if the agency doesn't cooperate. that coming up next. >> we're not going to just hold in contempt, we will have a plan to hold in contempt and to impeach. >> to impeach christopher wray? >> yes. we're not messing around here. dear foremothers,

up amid growing concerns that president trump could fire robert mueller over his frustration with the ongoing investigation. here's sarah sanders. >> i think the president has been clear that he thinks this has gone too far. >> does he have the power to fire robert mueller? is that within his power? >> he believes he has the power to do so. >> chuck schumer firing back saying the doj regulations could be more clear. the president does not have authority to remove robert mueller. only deputy a.g. rod rosenstein could remove him and it has to be by good cause. meanwhile, many are bringing up a bill to protect the special counsel. john thune says it's not net. >> i don't believe he's going to take that step. he's been advised by a lot of members of congress and a lot of

people on his staff. so i -- that's a hypothetical at this point but i'm hoping and advising that that doesn't happen. >> so you think -- you don't think you need to do anything? >> that could be correct. yeah. >> meanwhile, cnn is reporting that president trump and his legal team are reevaluating a potential in-person team with mueller in light of the raid of michael cohen. we've been hearing this story for months about the president potentially maybe firing robert mueller. here we are again. >> we heard mr. thune. it's not just people inside the beltway. some people out shied the beltway including people that president trump listens to carefully like rush limbaugh. we have this sound bite. >> the worst thing trump could do is start firing people. that's what he's being goded

into doing. this is more than just and proper right now. it's about survival. >> so what rush limbaugh is saying and michael goodwin just said, it would be a big mistake for the president to start firing people. as you heard from rush, it was president just one person, mueller. he said people. so mr. rosenstein as well. there's other people that have been suggested that maybe he should fire a lot of people that president trump listens to and whose opinions he cares about that say don't do it. >> melissa, for months the president said he's willing to sit down with robert mueller. he may have a talk with him. his attorneys have been split. the raid of cohen's office has changed the scenario. >> it has. and i think -- it's a startling thing. who knows what they found, what

they will find. again, this is one of those things that tends to cut both ways. you know, there are democrats that now think it's over and are like this is it. we're on the brink. we've got it. on the other said, there's republicans that would be energized that are look at the lengths to which democrats are trying to go to get rid of the president. i don't think he should fire anyone. many people are on the list that makes him feel guilty. i agree with rush limbaugh, they're trying to bait him into doing it. it would be a big mistake. they're pushing harder and harder. that's what the goal is. >> the president is expressing frustration on a lot of levels. he said much of the bad blood with russia is caused bake of the fake investigation and people that worked for obama. and there's no collusion. so that go crazy.

where are we on the collusion narrative here? >> first of all, it's stunning. this is an attack on bob mueller. he now has started going after bob mueller who is a life-long republican who most republicans love. that's an interesting dynamic. so we have learned a lot of information about up from campaign contacts with russians, about -- >> have we? >> yes. meeting with trump's team in trump tower with russians that were telling them -- >> in the transition -- >> before. when they said they had dirt on hillary clinton. meetings where trump campaign officials were told that they stole hillary's e-mails. >> what about the meetings with hillary at the ukraine embassy? >> why do you turn it around? >> because it's a double standard. >> the russian government interfered in this election. the intelligence community is clear about that. we need to get to the bottom of that. this investigation opened up more questions that if they didn't do anything wrong, they should be happy to answer. >> it's opened questions about a double standard here about what

is proper for one candidate is improper for another candidate. and again, we think of the raid on president trump's personal lawyer when in fact sheryl mills and other lawyers for hillary clinton always had attorney client privilege respected. >> newt gingrich saying yes, he has the constitutional authority to do this but it would be the biggest mistake he could make. mark meadows was interesting. this was in the 10:00 hour or so. he was on a live camera working through the halls in capitol hill this morning. he basically said this is not what the president is talking about. he was trying to clarify where the president has been going with this. part of the problem, katie, he left the door open by saying, you know, a lot of people want me to do that, a lot of people are recommending this is the way i should go. we'll see. he didn't shut the door on it was part of the problem. >> i don't think he has to. if he wants to fire robert mueller, he can. it's in his authority to do so. i know chuck schumer disagrees.

there's rules and standards. but the president of the united states has the fire to fire anyone he wants to inside of the executive branch. he has the authority to do so. if he's doing to say that, then i think that's fine. it's the media narrative for months that has been are you going to fire robert mueller when up until yesterday, the white house said we have no plans for that, the president is not thinking about it. >> the problem is right now these prosecutors working on the the southern district, not working for mueller, have access to everything in donald trump's life because his private attorney, cohen, has every bit of information private and public about donald trump that there is to be had. now it's in the hands of prosecutors. they're going to do with it what they want. they say they're going to separate the stuff that is pertinent to mueller's investigation from the other stuff. >> can i say one thing? when the regular every day americans say this could happen to anybody, this is a billionaire that has a lot of money to pay lawyers to defend him.

this can happen to every person. >> there's a lot of deadlines to keep track of. today is the day that devin nunes gave the justice department and the fbi to turn over the unoriginal redacted documents that started the russian investigation. nunes warning fbi director christopher wray and rod rosenstein says he's ready to take legal action if they fail to cooperate. >> we're going to get the document. we're going to get the two pages. so they can either cough them up now or it will get complicated starting tomorrow night and we'll have to take the steps necessary. we're not just going to hold in contempt. we will have a plan to hold in contempt and to impeach. >> to impeach christopher wray? >> absolutely. >> rod rosenstein? >> we're not messing around here. >> trey gowdy is questioning why

the justice department needed to appoint an attorney to oversee the production of documents to the judiciary committee? the move came in response to the complaints that the doj failed to comply with a subpoena to produce more than a million documents. laush says he ready to help lawmaker what's get what they need. >> my job is to ensure that we have a process than we've had going forward so far to get the materials that they're entitled to. while at the same time, ensuring that the legal rights that -- of individuals that are in those documents are producted. there might be grand injury material. we have a legal duty as prosecutors not to provide those materials. congress understands that. all of that said, we need to do better, much better. >> the doj making it clear that they have provided all of these fisas and that this is about one paragraph and one document that implicates our foreign partners. >> they have supplied a lot of stuff, most of which has been so

heavily redacted it's impossible to tell what is in it. mr. lausch is a great guy. but adding another layer of bureaucracy to this is something. we need to strip away the redacted documents and just get a look at what happened. >> need a process to go over the process. >> to be clear, it's the e.c. that he wants unredacted. the doj says we have already provided with the fisas. he asked for some areas of the e.c. to be unredacted and we did. now they're one paragraph that is still redacted and it protects the identity of a foreign government. >> which is very important. you can't just throw over a bunch of documents and not take out the classified information or make sure sources are producted. but doj, the fbi have had a long time to do this. this is not the first case where they have stone-walled on information that should be turned over to congress. members of congress have security clearances.

if they're redacting information -- we're not talking about turning over a million documents to americans to see it. we should see it eventually. but the other question on the republican side, why is it now after eight months that they're enforcing it? if they're going to draw this redline of going after christopher wray who has been cooperative and making sure things move forward on this with impeachment is -- if they're going to say that, they better do it. to enforce a subpoena on information that you've been sitting on for eight months, eight months later looks political. >> you talk about stone-walling. but that really works. it's very hard to stay on top of these different investigations and committees. my lord, it's my job and i'm having a hard time staying on top of it and staying invested in the various things going on. that's the tragedy of it. as you layer more on and more investigations and mean

stone-wall, time does pass and the americans get up to here with it. >> katie had a great point earlier. it can happen to anybody. i know it seems like people that have something to hide that it can happen to. everybody in america that filled out their tax form and this is tax season knows how scary it is. any dot misplaced could bring the feds down on you. >> the fbi started raiding your house -- >> there's a lot -- >> it's crazy. >> no, it's not. a lot of people never thought they would be in trouble with any federal agency and people that are completely innocent but have done something to put them under the microscope and the feds. if the feds are abusing their power, this could affect anybody out there. >> we have no evidence that the feds are abusing their power. to throw this out there -- >> we have plenty of evidence. >> it's a very serious charge. >> of course. very serious situation. >> we have no evidence of it in this case, period.

>> a lot of people putting ideas out there that are not backed up by facts. >> we have more to get to. facebook's mark zuckerberg back on the hot seat today for day two of congressional testimony and more questions about how he will safeguard the privacy of two billion users worldwide. >> is facebook changing any user default settings to be more privacy protected? >> congressman, yes. >> i don't see that in the changes that you have proposed. okay folks!

>> fox news alert for you. mark zuckerberg back on capitol hill for a second day of testimony. this time before the house energy and commerce committee a day after getting grilled into the night. why a joint senate committee

still have a lot of questions. they want to know how his company will protect privacy after a data mining scandal that affected millions of users. this happened earlier. >> will facebook offer to its users a blanket opt in to share their privacy data with any third party users? >> congress woman yes -- >> it's a minefield in order to do that. are you willing to change your business model in the interest of protecting individual privacy? >> congress woman, we have made and continuing to make changes to reduce -- >> no. are you willing to change your business model in the interest of protecting individual privacy? >> congress woman, i'm not sure what that means. >> you've indicated that in fact you're now open to some type of regulation. >> the internet is growing in importance around the world and people's lives.

it's inevitable that this will need to be some regulation. >> and something that could come up too, robert mueller's russia investigation. zuckerberg said that facebook is cooperating with the special counsel. he said while he has not been interviewed by mueller's team, others have been. i want to -- that was congressman essu. she hit on -- watched every minute of this yesterday and take notice. i think the business network was glued to this. she hit on something that struck me as something that was disingenuous. she was pressing on the idea that you contacted cambridge analytica and you told them that what they had done is wrong and they told you you deleted it. you took their word for it? that is that? it's impossible for me to believe this $64 billion man is naive enough to take a company at their word. will you say you delete it? good enough.

that was an untruth. that is -- as far as being genuine or not -- >> the ones that -- the politicians that got him were mostly the democrats. senator blumenthal focused on -- one thing he said -- this is zuckerberg that said you control, you, the user, controls all the information and data that you put on facebook. to that, mr. blumenthal came out with the contract between cambridge analytica and facebook that showed clearly that cambridge analytica was given all this data. now, it was supposed to be temporary and they were supposed to have destroyed the data at the end of the year. you have no way of checking whether you do or don't. once you give somebody your data, it's gone. >> and he said that the user agreement starts with you own your information. immediately lots of people pounced on that. people said i own it so i get a royalty when you sell it to someone else? he said you can take it down any

time you want. he kept getting asked at that point. and we know you can't take your information back once it's out there. so this idea that he's trying to say you own it, that too struck me as disingenuous. >> it was certainly odd. yes, you can take down a photo you post but behind that is a bunch of data that is already out there. the focus by the senators on the user agreement i found to be a little bizarre. every time we update itunes, we say yes. none of us read it i'm sure. every platform we say yes to something we should read but we don't. this is a bigger problem online. some of these senators are great. some are not familiar with the technology. there could have been harder hitting questions that didn't get asked. >> he said that he assumes that people don't use the user agreement. but also there was senator ted

cruz that talked about censorship and potential bias on the site. let's listen to that. >> there's a great many americans that i think are deeply concerned that facebook and other tech companies are engaged in a pervasive pattern of bias and political censorship. >> i'm very committed to making sure that facebook is a platform for all ideas. >> so what is interesting about this, he kept saying that facebook is a community where everybody has a place to talk about their ideas. he also said "we don't allow anything that could make people feel unsafe in our community." we hear that a lot from the left when it comes to words, safe places on college campuses. that's a way to shut up speech that you disagree with or don't like. it's not referring to terrorism or pornography or things that are hurtful to the community.

his response i thought was dee september. he said look, i understand that silicon valley is a very far left leaning place. this is something i'm concerned about. but he didn't acknowledge that the censorship is happening and that it is. i'm on the conservative side of media on the internet with groups and journalists. they've seen their stories down played by facebook. they've seen them fact-checked by fact-check.org. you don't see it happening with the left leaning spots. >> and when does questioning go too far? one asked about the president's future. >> that is a ridiculous question. >> it's not ridiculous. >> we're moving on.

>> more "outnumbered" in just a moment. first, let's touch base with harris on what is coming up in "outnumbered overtime" in just a moment. >> a busy hour ahead. moments ago, steve scalise said he's been interested in moving up. he was asked about the house speaker paul ryan retiring within months. that announcement today. so who would republicans in the house support? scalise? somebody else? i'll talk with a member of the house ethics committee on how this acts the gop. we await the president's response. a move to the people suffering

from chemical weapons hit in syria. president trump told russia, don't be partners with a gas-killing animal that killing its people. a member of the senate foreign relations committee will join me with that a 1:00 eastern. join me. >> and they've had their testy experiences. sarah sanders was not having it when american urban radio's april ryan asked this. watch. >> with all of this turmoil this last week, has the president at any time thought about stepping down before or now? >> no. i think that's an absolutely ridiculous question. >> it's not ridiculous. >> we're moving on. >> reporters love to create a narrative that fits their own perspective. that's what we saw happening. there's no evidence to support

that. you know, it's like is it true that you beat your wife? >> or when did you stop beating your wife. >> and somebody that briefed every day for two years, reporters ask you all kinds of crazy questions. they're televised. part of it is the show. >> it's a show. >> so we've all been on the receiving end. >> april ryan is a pied truther. she's questioned whether sarah sanders -- >> are you engaged in the conspiracy, marie? no. but to be more serious point, the question of the president, considering resignation, there's been no crime that has been charged against the president. why would he step down? there's no crime found, no collusion, no obstruction of justice. why he would resign is ridiculous. >> it drives me crazy when the reporters want to make this

story and the clips about them. so it seems like there's a lot of people that are guilty -- >> she succeeded. >> yeah. and the clip gets played and played and played. >> and we're playing into their perspective. >> i don't think he likes being president. >> do you know that? >> i think he loves it. >> i think he likes the pomp circumstance. >> no. >> to your point, he did answer a question what would you do differently? i wouldn't run for president. >> yeah. my old life was good. >> that was in front of a young audience. it was advice. >> it was. >> and he's talking about running, not being. >> giving advice to them about what to do. >> do not run for president. it's a bad idea. >> it's unfair to say he doesn't like the job. he hasn't said that. >> he does have a lot patriotism. he feels he can do a lot of good for the country. >> i love my job. let's go back to april ryan. you have to remember that her audience is left-leaning audience.

every reporter in that room has an audience they're reporting too and their questions are based on what their audience wants to see and hear. just keep that -- >> all right. we'll leave it there. more "outnumbered" in just a moment. >> tech: at safelite autoglass

we know that when you're spending time with the grandkids every minute counts. and you don't have time for a cracked windshield. that's why we show you exactly when we'll be there. saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪

and back pain made it hard to sleep and get up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid... ...plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am.

[laughter] >> brush her teeth, get that! >> brush your teeth, get in that!

>> any final words? >> the busiest newsday i've ever been here before. so much news going on. i love it. >> we will see you at 4:00 p.m. david and melissa. thanks, everybody. we are back tomorrow at our usual time. here's harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. a big shift in the hall to power. let's go, welcome to "outnumbered: overtime." i am harris faulkner. house speaker paul ryan says he will not seek reelection in november. there have been talks about it for weeks. reporters even asking ryan's staff about it. it took many people in washington by surprise. ryan says his primary motivation is to spend more time with his wife and now teenage children after spending two decades in congress. >> what i realize is if i am here for one more term, my kids will only have ever known
