if you want to see more leaders like harry reid and nancy pelosi, both of whom donald trump has given very, very big checks to, then donald trump is your guy. but whether it is donald trump or hillary clinton or john boehner, people are fed up with the corruption of washington that they all get rich and the working men and women of this country get left behind. i believe the people of indiana want someone who stands with the working man -- >> you see senator ted cruz trying to rally the troops in indiana. donald trump is campaigning in california, and you know what went down last night. it was a violent scene at that rally. a police car smashed by protesters. officers in riot gear trying to break up fights between trump supporters and those who want to keep him out of office. inside it was a very different characterization from the gop front-runner, however. >> let me just tell you about protesters. we have the safest place in the country to be is at a trump rally. believe me. it's the safest.

that event is put on by nancy pelosi. the price tag again is also $33,400 per person. the president leaves tomorrow afternoon. lyanne melendez, "abc7 news." >>> ilan musk's space company has a whole lot to cheer about. >> liftoff for the falcon nine rocket. >> the company successfully blasted a falcon nine rocket into space this morning. on board, over three tons of science gear and supplies for the crew at the international space station. it's the first cargo flight to the isf since june when its rocket exploded two minutes after liftoff. they also managed to land its booster rocket on a floating ocean barge. several earlier attempts ended in explosions. one of the goals is to reuse its rocket parts. something else to note, the supply run includes nasa's expanded activity module. it's designed to inflate in space. >> interesting. >>> the highway patrol answers a question a lot of people have been wondering. coming up, a series of highway shootings in the east bay and the chp says whether drivers are at risk. >>> call trans dismamtled a piece of bay area history. >>> g

usa body don't need to just go past president obama or nancy pelosi's deal last fall. the solution is paul needs more votes in the conference that will support the new leadership than boehner conditioned people to do that. not to expend government to cater interest but not way about conservatives in their district. that is where the club comes in. we will speak out on it. we will oppose a budget deal if it does not go back to less spending, but we will also work hard to get more members who will push inside. ms. morrongiello: if i could ask a follow-up, in 2014, the organization gave paul ryan 83% on the congressional scorecard. seen him operate as speaker now for five months, would you are just that rating? mr. mcintosh: we do each year based on the vote. i've still giving him his but if heperiod, keeps doing what he was doing last fall, that will be a b- minus rating that will go down to c or d quickly. susan: do you have a final question? mr. hohmann: you mentioned republicans helped big business and the clouds against crony club is against crony capitalism. do you

nancy pelosi claims there are no more cuts to make. i don't think the coverage is quite bare. i see them for amounts of ways in discretionary spending on. take the arts, for example. the national endowment for the arts receives over $100 million of federal spending per year. their budget requests the 2016 total of $149.949 million. million we $149 don't have to spare. now, i am an art kid in every sense of the word. i have every color of beret imaginable. but i do think this is one area where we can safely cut down federal spending. >> right now -- would you say you are still making a difference in the community without government money? >> definitely. and even the arts organizations that we represent have in doing so for decades. they have been making it on their own. today, we would solely rely on the generosity of our foundation. an individual support. olivia: my community is living proof that the government is not an essential component in keeping the arts alive. so, if you still think there is no room to cut, you need to think again. oh, hello, there. the budget plan that

it's one that our leader of the democratic caucus of the house nancy pelosi has been fighting for for four years. that is one where we still fall short. today the typical woman who works full time earn 79 cents for every dollar that the typical man makes. the gap is even wider for women of color. a black woman only make 60 cents and a latino woman 55 cents for every dollar that a white man earns. if we truly value fairness and america to be a level playing field where everyone who works hard gets a chance to succeed and that's good for america because we don't want some of our best players on the sidelines. that's why the first bill that i signed as president was the lilly ledbetter fair pay act. earlier this year on the anniversary that they have equal opportunity opportunity commission and the department of labor acted to begin collecting annual data on pay by gender, race and ethnicity. it will force and -- strengthen addressing pay around. appel on these efforts congress needs to pass the paycheck fairness act to put sensible rules in place.

under those circumstances, they will likely go to the democrats and may reelection nancy pelosi as housepeaker. if they had been more expressive and the principal circumstance is related to the data. donald trump has the worst unfavorable ratings of any potential nominee for the white house in the history of polling. you have polling that shows that donald trump's most favorable case, he loses by three points. he loses by 18 points with the general consensus being in the 7 to 12-point range. this is the last chance to save the white house for a republican who is a conservative and will adhere to make america the greatest nation in world history. it's the last chance voting for ted cruz to keep the united states senate in conservative hands and it's the last risk of nancy pelosi becoming house speaker. it would have been better received for the general population. that message has not been put forth. >> one of the places it may have broken down, kasich was asked right away, does that mean they should vote for ted cruz? he said no, they should vote for me. do you want them saying in x stat

san francisco nancy pelosi's district, barbara lee's district, they get three delegates. so you have 30,000, that's it, registered republicans in the entire congressional district where nancy pelosi is. those 30,000 get to choose three delegates just like the almost 200,000 up in northern california. that means you should have donald trump and ted cruz and john kasich coming through san francisco because your delegates are every bit as important as everyone's else. >> does hillary clinton need to worry about a bernie sanders victory? >> reporter: she is worried in part because if he wins tonight and the polls suggest that he has a slight edge, he will have won five consecutive states and it's a terrible momentum crusher for clinton. but unlike trump, clinton is so farahead in delegates, even if he wins it would take a surge for sanders to approach her delegate count so no reason tore as nervous as donald trump will be watching the results come in. >> we'll see what happens. marc sandalow live in washington, dc, thank you. ♪[ music ] >>> 5:11. baseball is back. the boys of

i'll introduce the democratic leader of the house, the former speaker, nancy pelosi. ms. pelosi: good morning everyone. how wonderful to see you all here for something that is so about the values of america and of our caucus and hopefully will be of this congress. just a place where we are in context from the standpoint of congress, when we came into the majority, we had a four-legged stool we wanted to accomplish, to pass a fully inclusive hate crimes legislation. people said if we take out transgender, you could pass out it in a second. we can't pass it in a million years. and thank goodness president obama signed the bill and we were able to accomplish that. next, we had under the president's leadership and would not have happened, we take a lot of credit for that hate crimes bill, but the next leg of the stool would not have happened without the president's leadership and courage and that is the repeal of don't ask don't tell. another piece of our agenda was to promote marriage equality in our country, legislatively, we couldn't really succeed but the courts and the re

i can't think of a liberal, a democrat fighting hard for chance, nancy pelosi, john lewis, any who wouldn'tfied in that same argument. and here's the reason, i think, he may be raising in the polls. if you ask the clinton people, overwhelmingly, they're going to vote for sanders. i am disappointed and "the new york times" mentioned this. i think there's been a turn in the sanders' rhetoric away from the difference issues, more to claiming that somehow she's going to be soft and not prosecute, because she's been corrupted by money, for which she has no evidence. so a lot of the sanders' people are saying that they wouldn't vote for clinton. in other words -- and i think that will turn over. i think, while people are angry now, when you get to november, that's going to change. hillary clinton, to her credit, made very sure in 2008 that women who were disappointed that she didn't get nomination voted for barack obama. and if hillary clinton is nominated, i'm hoping senator sanders will do the same, but he's making it harder for himself by the sharp edge of his rhetoric. >> nina turner, go ahea

let's listen. >> i think i'm going to be able -- i've always had a good relationship with nancy pelosi had a problem. reid's going to be gone. i've always had a decent relationship with reid. i think i'll able to get along well with schumer, chuck schumer. i was always very good with schumer. i was close to schumer in many ways. it's important to get along. it's wonderful to say you're a havoc and you're going to stand up and you're going to close up the country and all of the things but you've got to get somebody to go along with you. you know, you have a lot of people. we have a system. the founders created a system that actually is a very good system. it does work. but it can't work if you can get nobody to go along with you. and that's the problem that you have with ted cruz. >> david frum, if you get to a second ballot at the republican convention, are they going to be playing tapes like this on a loop for delegates trying to pull them out of the trump camp over to someone else? >> it's going to be more fundamental than that. if you get to a second ballot, you're going to have tho

because donald trump has given big checks to harry reid and nancy pelosi and hilary clint am. you know what i find interesting real quickly, is that donald is trying very hard and the media is trying very hard to paint him as somehow standing up to the system. donald trump and hillary clinton and john boehner are the system. and the reason john boehner is mad at me is that i stood with the people who elected me and led the fight to repeal obamacare, to stop amnesty, to stop the debt. and nothing washington hates more than -- it's not just that. >> i want to shift gears. that's enough on john boehner. >> he doesn't like being held accountable. >> we're giving him too much time. i want to talk about carly fiorina. >> absolutely. >> she is beloved by many republicans, and yet a lot of people yesterday said, well, this is just a stunt. he's 400 delegates away from securing the nomination. trump is way ahead of him in the popular vote, 3 million or so. what's he doing naming a running mate? what's your answer? >> well, listen, number one, carly is fantastic. she's a strong leader.

if you like what john boehner, nancy pelosi, and harry reid have done, donald trump is your guy.about how washington operates. you know, boehner's comments, he said something like he's the worst s.o.b. i have ever worked with, something like that. >> lucifer in the flesh. >> well, there was that too. but the interesting thing is he said that i've ever worked with. i have never worked with john boehner. truth of the matter is, i don't know the man. i have met john boehner two or three times in my life. if i have said 50 words in my life to john boehner, i'd be surprised, and every one of them has consisted of pleasantries, good to see you, mr. speaker. i have never had a substantive conversation with john boehner in any respect, and, indeed, this is something that's not publicly known, during the government shutdown i reached out to john boehner, and i offered for mike and lee and me to come over and work with the speaker. can we resolve this and actually get something meaningful done to stop the disaster that is obamacare? john boehner's response was, i have no interest in talkin
