john, not to diminish reagan, but before reagan, a couple of years before reagan, jack kemp, a great tax cutter, had this kemp/roth plan and reagan kind of piggybacked on that and used jack kemp to get that through congress. could the same happen with trump/ryan? >> i think it certainly diminishes reagan to mention trump in the same breath and i think that's the problem. define paul ryan and the republicans, run as fast as i can from donald trump. here this top negotiator managed the past week to negotiate away his own tax cut in the media. the only pro-growth aspect of his economic program, look at the rest, very anti-prosperity, particularly ideas on trade. why would republicans want to associate the brand with this? >> i take that that as a no. just guessing. take that as a no. mike, already hillary clinton has come out with this sort of clash warfare rhetoric against the trump tax plan, which would cut rates down, highest rate would be 25% from about 40% where it is now. here's the joint statement from donald trump and paul ryan. it says, it's critical that republicans unite aroun

this is the party of lincoln, grain and jack kemp. we do not always nominate a lincoln and reagan, but we hope that that person advances the principals of our party and appeals to a wide vase majority of americans. i think for this to work is is to take the principles and advance them. that's what we want to see. saying that we're unified does not unify us, but actually taking the principles that we believe in and running a campaign that the republicans can be proud about, and that can actually appeal to the majority of americans. that's what takes it unify the party. >> so you're saying that you can't support or endorse him right now? >> zbraerks i am basically saying that. i thought about this two days ago. i thought actually this was going to go to june 7th and to i convention. this is new for this. at this point, i think that he needs to do more to unify the

it was jack kemp.o paul ryan have much wants a tax-cutting measure and he could play the say role jack kemp played before ronald reagan came in. can't you see a scenario where paul ryan could be the jack kemp for donald trump? >> certainly on the tax issue. ryan does want a major tax bill and so does most of the house. neil: they scared him. >> i think donald trump is getting his sea legs now that he is presumptive nominee. most people thought june 7 would be the earliest you would have a presumptive nominee. it happened earlier after trump's victory in indiana. it sounded like he was going to raise some tax rates. he clarified it quickly. neil: i think when he was on maria bartiromo, we didn't quite understand it. >> the top rate, zero, 10, 25. maybe something higher than 25. neil: but he never said whether that would be a rate change or getting rid of carried interest. david: the man who has been thinking about this more than anybody is paul ryan. neil: this is near and dear to paul ryan. david: it's

a book about jack kemp.you want to know what makes paul ryan tick, you must read about jack kemp. they all agree, jack kemp, paul ryan, is major simplification of the of tax code. jack kemp, that really made him famous. could they get together on that? maybe that would be focus of conversation on thursday? >> david, i think you're right i think they could get together on that. in one much his books trump was very critical of tax reform of 1986 because it made the real estate industry lose some of the breaks it had. but you know, leaving those aside, they could agree on a plan that simplified the tax code and did some reform. i think they could also agree on a replacement for obamacare. and there are a number of other things. they're not going to agree however on trade an immigration. david: right. trade, jamie, is one of those things that scares bejesus out of a lot of conservatives. they are afraid donald trump will cause a trade war, is that perhaps posturing? you and i know donald trump does a lot positiv

no matter what you think about his principles, he's a jack kemp guy. and jack kemp in terms of american economics is all about smaller government. he's all about free trade. he's all about limiting government intervention in our lives and here's donald trump saying i really want health care, national health care, education, eminent domain. >> paul ryan, besides being a jack kemp guy is also the speaker of the house, he represents all the rel representatives who represent all the people in the country. would you want that guy to get behind the nominee so that you do unify the country. >> you're putting it on him. >> of course because donald trump won the nomination, that's why. >> doesn't work. let me eltell you something, he -- >> he played by the rules and he won. >> it doesn't work that way. it doesn't work that way. you know what, because he's the head of the house of representatives and he's worried about his members losing. >> isn't he trying to provide some kind of cover to kind of retain a house majority? couldn't that be it? >> oh gee, yes. >>

>> let me say, we knew jack kemp and paul ryan is no jack kemp.d is snowflakes for us on social media. they're snowflakes and they clutch and suddenly have the private club surround threat because they really do, you know, want it all. and they're tired of the hoi polloi having a voice, we're tired of the fact we have a boot on our neck. this is a refermation, all of the leaders and behavior in particular highlights the importance of mr. trump and, in fact, paul ryan needs to ask is mr. trump ready to support my agenda, and i like that mr. trump's statement was i'm not ready to support mr. ryan, you know, and that's the question, unless mr. ryan needs a little blue pill to handle the nature of what's going on here, i'm thinking that there is these men need to grow up, and they need to face reality. >> i believe firmly that most will get there. i think there is this period of time now where there's going to be a lot of hysteria, a lot of bold statements. lou: these people are hysterical about what? they have a man -- >> they've lost their minds. i

this is the party of lincoln, reagan and jack kemp. >> this is not entertainment. this is not a reality show. >> reporter: word the clinton e-mail investigation is in crunch time has another wildcard. >> i will to everything i can to unify the party. >> incompetent, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters, now. welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. happy mother's day. trmp tlmp is the defak corepublican nominee after his indiana primary route and the questions about what comes next are many. here are three, can trump win the white house with the same slash and burn style that helped him to his stunning nomination victory? >> she's married to a man who is the worst abuser of women in the history of politics. she's married to a man who hurt many women. she's married to a man who got impeached for lying. >> house speaker paul ryan is at odds with much of the trump agenda. >> he inherits something very special to a lot of us. this is the party of lincoln, of reagan, of jack kemp and we don't always nominate a lincoln and a reagan every four years but w

this is the party of lincoln, of reagan, of jack kemp. >> reporter: trump shot back on twitter. "wrong, i didn't inherit it. i won it with millions of voters." trump and ryan today agreed to meet in person next week. caught in the middle, republican party chairman reince priebus, who found himself defending trump's widely-derided tweet eating a taco bowl and declaring, "i love hispanics." >> he's trying. [ laughter ] and -- honestly, he's trying.r they won't support trump. the it states of america. >> the president saying it's not a reality show. jon, you've learned that paul ryan and donald trump will sit down in washington next we? >> reporter: they'll meet here in washington next thursday. but i would not expect a quick breakthrough. in fact, a source close to ryan does not rule out supporting a third-party candidate, but he hopes it won't come to support. >> i really think i earned the support from the people.

jack kemp played a critical role in his life as well.ryan put out there, posted it. i'll show the viewers now, after his meeting with donald trump. you see it there, my most important meeting of the day, you see him with school girls over there. you can read that in various ways, right? >> but the way paul ryan's office told me to read it, give me a break. he was trying to say these are children, they're the future. he is trying to say nice things about what matters in life are the kids. one thing i want to add to what we've all been talking about on the pure raw politics of this, that i was reminded of, that i hadn't thought through by a senior republican type here, and that is that for all of his opposition to washington, donald trump has really obviously galvanized the grass roots, but has not called on his supporters to challenge incumbent republicans as he has gone into the various districts, even and especially when a lot of them didn't support him, and that is something that did not go unnoticed by again a lot of incumbent republi

he invokes jack kemp. worked with him.hen it came to immigration, couldn't be more opposite from donald trump. this issue with the muslim ban couldn't be more opsit. and also the question of entitlements, social security, medicare. this is something paul ryan has talked about reining in spending on these programs. cutting from these programs trying to balance the budget that way. something donald trump has said i don't want to touch them at all. there are some major basic differences between these two men. >> i was a dear friend of jack kemp and co-chair of his campaign. jack kemp believed in a broad inclusive party and bent over backwards to be appealing to african-americans and hispanics and would have, in my judgment, would have had no ability to reconcile himself to trump's views on immigration or on trade. and i think those are going to be two difficult issues. you know, i -- if i were trump, and i'm not a supporter or adviser, but i would say to him, say that you have won this nomination as an outsider. you get that.

one of my best was a guy named jack kemp. he was a congressman from new york. i asked him, what do you think? should i do this? he said absolutely, you would make a huge difference. go do it. i called another mentor. bill bennett. i asked, does this past the laugh test? he says, yes, barely. [laughter] actually, he was quite encouraging. i called my mom and told her what i was thinking and she thought i was crazy. "you would really want to do that?" ultimately, i ran and i won. soon i had another plan. the house ofed and representatives where i wanted to do go and where i wanted to make my difference. the issues i care so much about and the issues my employers were telling me they wanted me to work on, were the issues in front of the house ways and means committee. tax reform, economic growth, jobs, health care, retirement security, poverty. my goal was to become the chairman of that committee because i thought i could be a huge asset or at least make a big difference in the areas that i cared so much about. i worked for years to achieve that goal and finally,

jack kemp is the great min mentor for paul ryan donald trump is donald trump. you have no idea where he will go. the whole alliance could be gloun up by one tweet. as i said before, you will be hositage to everything that donald trump says. you played the cuts earlier. you can agree, come up with a tax plan or something like that what are you going to do with the 10 million illegal immigrants he is going to deport. the muslim ban, or vaccines or conspiracy? this will be the most complicated relationship we have seen in politics. >> thank you for joining us. appreciate it. coming up. in the first 100 days of a possible trump presidency, what would happen with the trump wall that mexico is supposed to pay for. what would happen with the muslim ban? what would it mean for race relations in america? up next, someone who is on everyone's list for a possible democratic vice presidential nomination. hey! this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice f him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all da

this is the party of lincoln, reagan and jack kemp. we hope our nomination is lincoln and reaganesque, that they embrace the principles of our party and applies to the vast majority of our voters. to take our principles and advance them. and that's what we want to see. saying we're unified doesn't actually unify us, but taking the principles we all believe in, showing there's a dedication to those, and running a presidential campaign that republicans can be proud about and can appeal to the majority of americans, that, to me, is what it takes to unify this party. >> so you're saying you can't support or endorse him right now. >> yeah, i am basically saying that. look, that's, you know, i thought about this two days ago. i thought, actually, this thing was going to go to june 7 at the very least, probably to a convention, so this is all pretty new to us. but at this point, i think that he needs to do more to unify this party, to bring all wings of the republican party together and then to go forward and to appeal to all americans and ev

. >> this is the party of lincoln, of reagan, the jack kemp and we don't always nominate a lincoln oryears but we hope our nominee inspires to be lincoln or reaganesque, that that person advances the principles of our party. that was then. this was today. listen. >> i was very encouraged with what i heard from donald trump today. do i believe we are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified, bridge the gaps and differences and we'll go deep near the policy areas to make sure we are operating off the same core principles. >> what a difference a week makes. peter, you say there's a remarkable difference between those two statements. why do you say that? >> a week ago paul ryan said he was inheriting the party of ronald reagan and jack kemp it was a statement about things like the muslim ban, calling mexican immigrants rapists, encouraging assaults of african-american protesters. there was none of that in paul ryan's statement today. he didn't say donald trump was going to have to adopt the principles of the republican party as he defined them. it was basically a surrender. >> did

i'm a jack kemp guy. i very much believe in a type and style of politics that may not be invoked today but i still think it's the right kind of politics. >> tell me what you mean by a jack kemp kind of guy. >> the optimistic principles and you evangelize your ideas and pretzels everywhere but especially for people who aren't familiar with them. that to me is very important and that's why think we need to spend our time on talking to people may not have ever wanted to compete for their votes and to compete for their hearts and their minds. >> i know you don't want to look in the rearview mirror and by the way that's an admirable approach, but we have seen a campaign where that has not happened. in fact it's the opposite. >> i think the whole primary process is. it's the republican primary process and the democrats are doing the same thing. bernie sanders and hillary clinton are at each other's throats competing over primary numbers. the person who comes out republican primary in the democratic primary, the

i think it's innovative, it's more jack kemp style, right? enterprise zones. and i want to hear donald trump talk about that and really repudiate white supremacist -- which he kind of did today on today show. he actually said for the first time he does not want their vote, so i was glad to hear that. you can't talk out of both sides of your mouth. >> host: crystal wright, we hear from our call-in programs on c-span and booktv black conservative, i just don't get it. >> guest: yeah. they don't get it, they don't trust me, they think i -- i get called uncle tom, coon, you know, like, you're working for the man. well, i don't get paid for virtually none of my activism is paid. i mean, i got paid to write this book, but it's a modest, you know, sum of money. and i think the reason why though is because we do see, i would say, my party use a lot of black conservatives to their advantage, and they use them as puppets. i think at a certain point there were times when ben carson when he was appearing on a certain conservative network before he ran for president was sa

paul ryan is a disciple of jack kemp. he was known as being the compassionate conservative. >> more inclusive, big tent conservative. >> let's reach out to the poor, minorities, we don't have to have hateful rhetoric. >> about the border wall, stopping immigration from banning muslims from coming into the country, that doesn't play with paul ryan? >> it doesn't. >> paul ryan said something along the lines, that's not where we are as a party. that's not to say that paul ryan season the extremely conservative, he is. it's just that he and donald trump are literally 180 degrees apart. >> is paul ryan misreading the party right now? and does donald trump damage the party in the way that paul ryan wants the party to go? >> i think it's still too early right now, i think that -- >> that's two questions. >> right. >> i understand that. >> we are seeing divisions in the republican party now. we're seeing friends become enemies, where they're taking up sides, the anti-trump moment, and then there's the let's fall in line movement.

ronald reagan partnered with jack kemp in congress to get tax reform. could trump partner with ryan to do the same? >> the answer is, yes. trump is saying, make america great again.

he, of course, is somebody who comes out of this jack kemp school of the republican party, jack kempthe famous low tax congressman in the 1990s and vice presidential candidate. that's somebody who shaped paul ryan's career for sure. if you listen to how trump has framed his policy positions, i think that's really what's given a lot of people in the conservative movement pause. this tax plan he had originally put out, donald trump giving himself a little room of being open to raising taxes on wealthy americans. that's something the republican party on capitol hill has resisted something very strongly in dealing with president obama. so i think paul ryan is looking to see what does trump do from a policy perspective. he did make some headway on foreign policy when he made that foreign policy speech in washington. that's when you heard bob corker start to come out and say, okay, i want to think about this guy. i'm potentially open to supporting him. i think frankly there are a lot of conservatives out there who need to hear more along those lines from donald trump. i also think this win

this is the party of lincoln, of reagan, of jack kemp. we don't always nominate a lincoln and a reagan every four years but we hope that our nominee will be lincoln or reaganesque. actually taking the principles that we all believe in, showing that there's a dedication to those and running a principled campaign that the republicans can be proud about and that appeal to a majority of americans that to me is what it takes to unify this party. >> well, donald trump responded by saying he's not ready to back speaker ryan saying quote, i'm not ready to support speaker ryan's agenda. perhaps in the future we can work together and come to the agreement about what is best for the american people. they have been treated so badly for so long that it is about time for politicians to put them first. this as trump supporter chris christie says he will try to broker a truce between ryan and the presumptive nominee. while trump's campaign manager said no meeting is currently scheduled, trump held his fire at a rally in west virginia last night. though a

i am a jack kemp guy. believe in a type of politics that may not be invoked today but nevertheless is the right kind of politics. by jack kemp, be optimistic, inclusive, principled, and evangelize your ideas and principles to everyone but especially to those are not familiar with them. that to me is important. that is why i think we should spend our time talking to people who may have never listen to us in the past. to compete for their hearts and their minds. >> i know you do not look in the rearview mirror and i think that is admirable but we have seen a campaign where that has not happened and it has been the opposite. paul ryan: that is not just this process. the republican primary process, the democrats are doing the same thing. bernie sanders and hillary clinton are at each other's throats competing over democratic voters. republicans did the same thing for republican primaries. the question going forward is, can we now move and appeal across the scale into cross broad-spectrum's of voters and do so

economical view of human nature that we all responded to about tax cuts which was the problem with the jack kemppproach to a more relational view of human nature which is about the we areve science primarily loving creatures not thinking creatures we are enmeshed in a web of love. charlie rose: there is no one articulating that. there is a third way. mighthird-party represented. a definition between some sense of social responsibility and conservative fiscal policy that create the skills that help you prosper in a modern economy. david brooks: if you don't have those relationships it's hard to exercise self-control. it's hard to sit in a school room and build relationships with teachers. it's hard to sit in the modern workplace where computers are doing all the nonrelational stuff and the relational skills are the key. i came across a book called life reimagined. it was a study of world war ii veterans. summer is to high rank and some didn't. what explains why some rose in some didn't? it wasn't intelligence. it was an social class. it wasn't physical courage. it was relationship with the mother

he was intern on the hill for jack kemp.in many ways philosophically what jack kemp preached. paul ryan went on listening tour in urban areas all throughout america and put his focus on poverty. in all likelihood not just like taxes or government or conservative principles. how did they come to a meeting of the mind between two of them on issue of poverty? he clearly made that a focus point for him over the past couple years. i would also suggest that the presumptive nomination of donald trump came much quicker than even paul ryan expected. you know i mentioned a short time ago. we had paul ryan on our program two weeks ago but that was 24 hours before ted cruz dropped out. that was 48 hours before john kasich dropped out of the race as well. at the time he had told us he is not getting involved in the nitty-gritty election battle here. but he would support the nominee, whoever that nominee would be. since that time, a different tack. the reason for that is ryan's conservative principles and questions as to whether or not do

of reagan, of jack kemp, and we don't always nominate a lincoln or a reagan every four years, but weque, that that person advances the principles of our party. >> so that was then. this is now, today, listen. >> i was very encouraged with what i heard from donald trump today. i do believe that, that we are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified, to bridge the gaps and differences. so from here we're going to go deeper in the policy areas to see where that common ground is and make sure we are operating off these same core principles. >> what a difference a week makes. you say there's a remarkable difference between those two statements. >> a week ago even cnn, what paul ryan said was that donald trump was inheriting the party of lincoln and jack kemp and had to be true to those principles and reach out to people along all walks of life. that was a statement about things like the muslim band, calling mexican immigrants rapists, encouraging assaults of african-american protesters. there was none of that in paul ryan's statements today. he didn't say donald trump was going to h

bone paul ryan and i worked for jack kemp at different stages of jack's career. i think he's terrific. i have to say, though as speaker of the house and newt gingrich said this very well the other day, when you're speaker of the house you have to support the party nominee. it's an automatic thing. paul ryan is the leader of the house of representatives on the republican side. so i do expect him to have a good conversation with donald trump. it sounds to me like they're going to get there. i don't think they're that far apart. i expect him to do it. >> just very quickly, tom, put this in perspective, it's extremely rare for the speaker of the house to not pledge support behind the party's nominee, right? >> this is remarkable. we've never seen anything like this before at least not in modern times. when they have this meeting, i think they want to try to bring people together. they know that unified as a party is the only way they're going to stop clinton. there's this sort of meta sense where they know they have to get there. as ben pointed out earlier, it's real

. # this is the party of lincoln, of reagan, of jack kemp. we don't nominate a lincoln and reagan every four years, but hope our nominee to be reaganesque. that person advances the principles of our party and appeals to a wide vast majority of americans. i think what's necessary to make it work, for this to unify is to take our principles and advance them. that's what we want to see. saying we're unified doesn't in and of itself unify us. taking principles we believe in, showing dedication, and running a campaign that republicans can be proud about and that can appeal to a majority of americans. that's what it takes. to unify the party. # >> you are saying you can't support or endorse him right now? >> yeah, i am basically saying that. look, i thought about this two days ago. i thought this was going to go to june 7 at the very least, probably to a convention, so this is all pretty new for us. but at this point i think that he needs to do more to unify this party, bring all wings of the republican party together, then to go forward and appeal

ryan sees himself as an to jack kemp.r ideas in any community in the country, and i think he worries that donald trump will define the party in a lasting way as a party of racial backlash. and that is a very dangerous proposition e lector rally if for no other reason in a country where 30% of the voters in this election might be non-white. for comparison. when ronald reagan was first elected, it was 10%. >> that was cnn senior political analyst ron brownstein speaking with me earlier. >>> as you heard in scott mclean's report just a moment ago, one of the republican party's most respected members is backing trump. bob dole, who ran for president in 1996, tells cnn that trump has his support. but he adds the billionaire should apologize for some of his past comments. >> when donald trump clinched the republican nomination, it was an easy call for me. what's a lifelong republican supposed to do? support the opponent? now, i've seen candidates come and go, and i think, you know, this is real phenomenal with trump doing what

i'm a jack kemp guy. i very much believe in a type and style of politics that may not be in vogue today, but i still think nevertheless is the right kind of politics. >> tell me what you mean by jack kemp guy, by optimistic, inclusive, be principled, evangelize your ideas everywhere, but especially the people who aren't familiar with them. that to me is have i important. that's why i think we need to spend or time on talking to people who nay not have effort wanted to listen to us in the past, to compete for their votes and compete for their hearts and minds. >> i knowant dow don't want -- and that is, by the way, i think an admichelle approach, but we have seen a campaign where that has not happened. in fact it's been the opposite. >> but i don't know if that's this campaign, i think the whole primary process -- and the democrats are doing the same thing. bernie sanders and hillary clinton are at each other's throats right now competing over democrat primary voters. republicans do the same thing over rep
