mr. ryan, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. ryan: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm going to rise this evening with some of my colleagues to repudiate some of the comments that have been made here tonight, to correct some of the record, to and provide, i think, the real story, mr. speaker, of what is going on in america and compare that, my friend from iowa, who was up here prior to me, stated that it's about the record. i would 100% agree. it is about the record. and if you look at the past few years prior to the democrats taking over, our friends on the other side of the aisle had complete control of the entire federal government and states like many ohio, they had control of the whole ohio government. and with president bush, republican house, republican senate, they had an opportunity to implement their economic policy, they had an opportunity to implement their foreign policy, they had an opportunity to implement their energy policy, they had an opportunit

mr. ryan: i thank the gentleman. mr. speaker, what we have here is a rule, not a budget, really not a budget enforcement system, we have a rule that will deem to the appropriations committee $1.1 trillion to spend on discretionary spending. this really is an unprecedented occurrence here on the house floor, because what's happening is we're marking a moment for the first time since the budget system was created in 1974 that dictated how congress does budgets, the first time since the 1974 budget act, the modern budgeting system in congress, the house isn't going to do a budget. the house is not going to do a budget. they'll call this rule budget enforcement but all it really is is giving $1 trillion to the appropriations committee to spend. no budget, no priorities, no restraints, just turn the spending system on. now, the majority talks about pay-go as their budget enforcement. with all due respect, i think pay-go's a sham and whenever it's not circumvented, whenever it's actually applied it's usually used to raise taxe

mr. ryan's remarks and budget issues. paul ryan is a congressman from the first district of wisconsin and is ranking member for the republicans on the budget committee, a member of the ways and means committee, and one of the few congressmen who is as comfortable around nerds like us as he is in political circles. mr. ryan -- many of us think of him as the thought-leader in the party. his remarks are always food for thought for those of us assembled. mr. ryan will speak. we will have to run for a vote. the plot is not taking for that. i will hand it off -- the bell is ticking for that. i will hand it off. >> i will give an abridged version. i can make it to the floor fast. we just got this yesterday. this is the cdo long-term budget outlook. it is pretty scary. our economy is going off a fiscal cliff. we will have our own debt crisis of we do not get the situation under control. the legislation really -- received very little attention. it was designed to prevent high premium increases for seniors. i want read a quote from

that the china currency bill, mr. ryan and mr. murphy's bill is going to have a hearing. is there any doubt in your mind that this -- this legislation fully fits within this initiative and -- and should get treated in the fall? >> there's going to be a hearing. clearly as i said, we need a level playing field. we're prepared to compete with anybody in the world. but we can't compete when the rules are skewed against us. that is what the hearing will address. i'm sure secretary geithner and the administration will look at this and -- at this as well. but we frankly think there are a number of &s in which china is not playing by the rules and -- that our competitors do not have a -- a stable playing field there. i.t. is another area, a proprietary information is another area so that i think -- we're going to look at a number of areas. not just china, although china is obviously a focus of the ryan bill itself. but at other -- other -- other of our trading partners as well. >> we'll open it up more generally, come back up to the front. please identify yourself. thank you. >>

mr. ryan. >> there's nothing i can really add, but it's pretty interesting i think we had a fresh analysis from medicare and medicaid since the passa of the last health care bill. we have made is clear we have different opinions of the health care bill, but leaving those aside, the actuary was situation are the health care programs and the primary drivers are excess health care costs and aging of the population. those are the things that are the primary drivers of the fiscal problem. there was a service of this in pointing those out, and i think we had a good frank discussion about ideas on how to get this under wraps. >> thank you. we have one minute to go. if i could yows -- >> take the ole minute. >> i just want a half minute. i just want to ask you please let us hear from you during this recess. we need whatever additional questions you have. we want to make sure the staff has a chains to answer them. we want ideas you have to vent them over in the month of august and what options you want

mr. ryan: i thank the chairman for this opportunity. let me just go on record and say i cannot believe in the wealthiest country that has ever existed on god's green earth that we are having a debate about whether or not we should let 1.3 million people-plus over the course of the next few weeks go without unemployment when unemployment's at 10%, there's five people looking for every one job, and we can't muster up the courage in this body to pass unemployment benefits? and our friends on the other side said this isn't an emergency. so all of those folks over the fourth of july, get your car coal out, get -- charcoal out, put your flip-flops on, put your shorts on, put the sunblock on, there's no emergency here. that's what our friends on the other side are trying to tell the 1.3 million people who will go without anything. if you think the deficit is bad now, wait until we get another wave of foreclosures, another wave of people who aren't paying their bills, another wave of bankruptcies, and our friends on the other side have consiste

>> mr. ryan? >> thanks chairman. dairy i wanted to ask you about this document that my was involved in. it is one of the most bipartisan budget process reform consensus documents i have seen in a long time, taking back our fiscal future. i'm not sure you are familiar with us. it is sort of right down the middle. people from brookings, people from heritage and they basically came up with three recommendations that i think are something that are very much worthy of our consideration and my is one of the authors of it. basically three recommendations. to set limits on automatic spending required review for every five years, two the rules for the five-year review must include a trigger for aion enforcing devices that requires explicit decisions from projecting to projected spending exceeds budget amount and number three long-term cost of these programs should be visible in the budget at all times and considered when decisions are made. do those three recommendations, what those kinds of timetables i think you have more o

>> ryan seacrest are done a charity event in orange county. the defendant tried to get too close to mrseacrest and he ended up in a scuffle with ryan seacrest's bodyguard. that defendant plead guilty and was ordered to stay away from ryan seacrest. a month later, he came to the studios where ryan was -- he wasn't recognized at the moment and he was turned away. he came back a second time a couple of weeks later and he was recognized at that time, because the studio knew there was a restraining order and they detained him and he had a knife on his person. >> larry: was he prosecuted? >> he was, and he's in a mental facility as well. >> larry: does ryan have to press charges in that kind of case? >> the victim -- we represent the people of the state of california and ryan is the victim in that case. he did not have to come to court to testify in that case. the defendant plead before we went to trial. >> larry: but he would have had to come -- >> yes. he was cooperative. >> larry: are any of the stalkers ever eventual rapists?

ryan thompson got one more chance at a new trial. an extraordinary proceeding called a habeas hearing. >> mr. t. >> reporter: ryan's new attorney, john watson, presented arguments that the original defense counsel had been ineffective, failing, for example, to undermine the state's key witness, bobby latour. watson found an eyewitness who said latour was in a parking lot right after the shot was fired so he could not have seen ryan thompson get out of the car before the shot as he claimed. ryan's original attorney knew about the witness but didn't call him. >> that's a really, really crucial piece of information that the jury should have heard. >> reporter: watson also argued that ryan's trial attorney should have shored up dave and jared's testimony, bringing in experts to explain how ryan's friends pressured by police could have implicated him even though they knew he was innocent. >> the police were holding over their heads all three of them the possibility that they, too, may be arrested if they didn't toe the line. >> jurors are simply not inclined to believe that police officers are not

mr. chairman. thank you for allowing me to ask a question. ryan also want to thank our panelists for being here today. i want to say a special thank you. you are living with this bill every bell -- every day. i cannot imagine the amount of stress your under. all of the hours that you are putting into this, and we may disagree on different points of policy, but i know that your heart is in the right place and you're working hard to get this thing clean up as soon as possible and to get this leak stopped. i do want to say thank you. to the secretary, i also want to say thank you. sometimes we disagree on energy policy along the way, but in indian country, we have worked well together helping out my district of oklahoma. i think that you're doing a tremendous job on the mms reforms. some of the concerns that i have are particularly in relation to the offshore. we have companies that have investments in the offshore. they are not bp and they are not exxon. these are smaller companies that have some investments and a more a story of -- and a moratorium
