why go into all the details now when blake berman can do that for us. hey, blake. >> reporter: before the new york daily news endorsed hillary clinton its editorial board sat down with the democratic front-runner and pressed her among other things about how much some of her plans would actually cost. the daily news specifically asked clinton about the tab for programs involving reigning in college costs and providing for paid family leave along with infrastructure investment. clinton said that would cost about $100 billion a year over ten years. at that point the daily news pointed out the figure totaled up to a trillion dollars. clinton acknowledged that would indeed be the price tag. now, according to the transcript provided by the daily news, clinton called this a heavy lift, but also described it as affordable and said there's a way to pay for it. for example, clinton's website says the college aspect would be paid for by limiting certain tax expenditures for high income taxpayers. the editorial board said it was endorsing clinton for being what it d

the fox business network's blake berman has more on this.in the room at that meeting. the classified pages of the 9/11 report which could show ties to some saudis. >> that's right, shepard. the president's meeting with king salman and his trip to saudi arabia comes amid a renewed debate here at home surrounding those 28 pages. those of course as we now know are the classified documents only seen by a small group of lawmakers, many of whom investigated the leadup to 9/11. it is the suggestion of some that the documents could show the saudi government at some level could have had some link to the september 11th terrorist attacks. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, wrote earlier today that he thinks the information should be made available to the general public. i am quoting here. "the release of these pages will not end the debate over the issue, but it will quiet rumors over their contents." as is often the case, he says, "the reality is less damaging than the uncertainty." former iraq envoy paul bremer said as

the latetest from blake berman with what is going on here. >> reporter: bernie sanders sat down with the d daily news editorial board and was asked about corporations he says are destroying the national fabric and wanted to get very specific with him. he singled out general electric for greed and selfishness but they are shutting down plants, sending jobs away,y, paying nothing in taxes as sanders put it to the editorial board. jeff melt -- jeff imelt put an editorial in thehe washington post and went after sanders, none too please. i wl quote from him. ge has been in business 124 years and have never been a big hit with socialists. we create wealth and jobs instead of just calling for them in speeches, we take risks, innovate and produce in ways that today sustained 125,0,000 jobs. he took a swipe at sanders for not visiting the ge plant in vermont. sanders was s giving a press conference a little while agago, talked about corporate greed today he did not he went after veririzon. >> and bring them abroad were people will be paid pennies an hour. that is ununacceptable, that is part

blake berman with more. >> reporter: we are being told paul ryan, the reason for this john's to the rnc he will make up 3:15 a few hours from now is to put to rest once and for all the notion that he could potentially be the republican nominee for president of the united states. paul ryan's name has been thrown out in recent days, weeks and months as it becomes clearer to some that the potential of a brokered contested convention is possibly on the table in cleveland and if that were the case, who might emerge? for establishment types, whoever that might be, there is the hope or thinking for some that it could be paul ryan, speaker of the house who would play a role at the rnc convention because he is indeed speaker of the house. ryan is today as i mentioned going to say enough is enough. put this to rest. he is going notably to the rnc, not doing this from the capital, choosing his hometown, going to the center of it all for republicans. the republican national committee which right now is running this process for republican candidates. you did mention one of the things that will hover
