paul ryan has an impressive resume. mittee, former vice presidential nominee and author of a 204-page report on how the government has so totally failed at fixing poverty. after all, ryan did pitch in at a soup kitchen back in 2012. he's obviously got his finger on the pulse of america's under class. with that incredible expertise to get in touch with the nation's poor, congressman ryan spent the past several months touring the country. however, monday, he took a break from hanging out with poor people to hit up the tuxedo sect at a fundraiser. he informed the crowd that the best way to turn from a vicious cycle of despair and turn it into hope and flourishing is by embracing the friendship, accountability and love. that is how i fight poveryou fi he said. the way not to fight poverty is to spend money on the poor. through 92 federal programs that cost the federal government $800 million in 2012. to make the case and broaden his appeal to the gop rank and file, what's expected to be the lead-up to a potential 2016 presid

but i know paul ryan.from social security as a survivor fund when his dad passed away. and john boehner knows poverty. he came from the middle class. what they are doing is destroying the middle class. it is true that black african-americans, hispanics have more than that. we're talking about the united states of america. we're talking about the disparity between the wealth and the poor. we're talking about the middle class which is the heartbeat of america not being able to have purchasing power. tlrvegs we're talking about small businesses. it's a tragic thing to think. but i tell you this. when you take a look at the republican party, it could be that paul ryan is trying to find a way to appease the extremists in his party at the same time to have some credibility because right now, i don't want to be a part of just a one-party system in america. but they are doing this. >> i want to pick up on the other side. if there is something about what paul ryan is doing now in terms of rhetoric that could potent

a real original thinker, that paul ryan.ink not much has changed in the last century or so, but i'm here to say their policies aren't just bad, they are ancient history. it's time to snap out of it. and join the 21st century. joining me now, author delaney porter for "the huffington post." his article details how paul ryan's policies can actually be traced back to the 19th century. and also with us, james peterson, professor at lehigh university. thank you both for being here. >> thanks, rev. >> thank you. >> arthur, great piece today. >> thank you. >> tell us how congressman ryan's ideas to help the poor go back to the 19th century. >> well, a model for paul ryan has always been the welfare reform of 1996 in which newt gingrich and bill clinton teamed up to make our welfare system for mothers with children a lot less generous, and at the time, a big inspiration for gingrich and congressional republicans was the charity reformers of the late 19th century, the people who were talking about indiscriminate soup being the proble

the step of stopping being polite is, a, not just paul ryan using code.s crushing paul ryan and guys like that for using the code and then the people who use the code and then interpret it perfectly, we have to stop letting people slide and saying, no, he's just talking about the inner city. black people know that's what is being said. >> it's horrible in how it treats black people and poor people. so that's really where his language is. >> they had a meeting today where they addressed the issues that he talked about. isn't that a start? no? >> the congressional black caucus? >> it's bigger than that because the problem is that the issue of race applies to everybody. it's not just poor people. it's rich people. i have the opportunity to represent professor gates junior who wrote a book about it, the presumption of guilt and there is no presumption of guilt. there were over 200 black men who were stopped by the police in new york just recently and those men had never committed a crime. they were not -- didn't have a record, didn't have a weapon but they we

you'll recall that paul ryan ran for vice president. he was part of the ticket that labeled 47% of americans as moochers, not deserving republicans' attention. moochers, mr. president. representative paul ryan has called struggling americans "takers." taking into account his well-documented disdain of americans trying to help their fathers i'm anxious to hear how he plans to era eradicate pover, in that he considers them takers and moochers. maybe he'll need to check with the koch brothers first, as did he with his recent budget proposal. senate democrats are doing something. we continue to propose meaningful legislation like this minimum wage that gives american families a fair shot at prosperity. the republicans filibustered extended unemployment benefits. they filibustered giving women the right to make the same amount of money as men. my daughter, why should she get 77 cents when someone doing the same job she does who is a man gets $1? it is unfair. but they filibustered that. so we're going to continue to propose meaningful legisl

and paul ryan dreamed up a new miracle cure for fixing poverty. ahead. t's a tall order. up your game. up the ante. and if you stumble, you get back up. up isn't easy, and we ought to know. we're in the business of up. everyday delta flies a quarter of million people while investing billions improving everything from booking to baggage claim. we're raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we will up it yet again. alright, that . excuse me, what are you doing? uh, well we are fine tuning these small cells that improve coverage, capacity and quality of the network. it means you'll be able t post from the breakroom. great! did it hurt? when you fell from heaven (awkward laugh) ...a little.. (laughs) im sorry, i have to go. at&t is building you a better network. but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. i saw my doctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use i

look at paul ryan's budget as well. have a single tax -- doesn't get rid of a single tax break for special interest to reduce the deficit but they lower the top rate to 25% and that means a $2,000 increase for every middle class family. that's scott walker, that's paul ryan, that's the extremists in the republican party trying to secede from the nation. that's what we've got to be aware of. if they take the senate because of things like minimum wage, that agenda, that paul ryan agenda, is what you're going to see. >> congressman mark pocan, senate senator lyena turner, thank you. >>> coming up, lessons in history and feminism from glenn beck university. pretenders is next. stick around. in pursuit of all things awesome, amazing, and that's epic, bro, we've forgotten just how good good is. good is setting a personal best before going for a world record. good is swinging to get on base before swinging for a home run. [ crowd cheering ] good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it and do some experim

paul ryan said maybe he's not going to change the policies, but let's change the tone of the discussionverty in the country. listen to this. >> policymakers from all sides of the aisle need to take a look at whether we are fighting poverty successfully or not, and i think we can learn from these exchanges with one another and i think what we're trying to accomplish here is improving the tone of debate so that more people are invited to this debit. >> now, he didn't promise policies, he said let's change the tone of the debate. has the gop delivered on tone? >> they haven't. but gun flapping doesn't cause substantial policy changes. gun flapping doesn't raise the quality of life in communities across this country. so i think for him to believe that it's only tone, that it is only how they craft their messages, he's dead wrong. people are beginning to the polls and voting on substance. they're voting on whether or not these policies are actually working in their communities to raise the quality of life for them and for their neighbors. so i think that paul ryan and his fellow republicans

>> you go about doing not what paul ryan suggests, but what the american people want and the americanple are very clear. they want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. ryan and his friends are opposed to that and by the way, chris, many republicans not only are are opposed to raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. many of them want to do away with the concept of the minimum wage so the workers in america can earn $3 or $4 an hour, but i think what the black caucus was talking about is the direction that we've got to go and the american people support that. they understand that real unemployment today is not 6.7%. it's close to 12%. we need to create millions of decent-paying jobs and you do that among other ways by investing in our crumbling infrastructure and you put people back to work and you transform our energy system, and weatherization, deal with climate change and you create jobs. >> the president had a lot to say and he had pretty tough talk for the republicans after the filibuster. let me play a little bit of that, senator. >> by preventing a vote on this bill. t

good to see you. >> do you expect to see this becoming a template in terms of the if paul ryan budgetn a way that would help the democrats? >> oh, yeah. when you see a 15-point swing in the poles, campaign managers take notice of that. i think it's worth thinking about the 2010 election for a second. one of the big talking points is we're going to see a replay of 2010 and we might. something i think people forget about 2010 was that one of the by far most popular republican lines of attack on democrats was not obamacare but medicare. obama is cutting hundreds of millions from medicare and that was the primary line of attack against obamacare. that worked because it kind of united republicans. they felt they were running ads against obamacare where as voters felt they were running ads protecting medicare. you've had republicans voting to do all kinds of things to medicare that democrats don't like. now republicans want to for various reasons cut or move to private insurers. you're going to i think see one big policy difference between 2010 and 2014 which is that democrats can attack re

some people don't. >> this thing, i don't think anybody says paul ryan racist terms are thrown around too much, but policy differences. there he is basically saying the reason we're cutting welfare, whatever we're cutting, school lunch programs, whatever we want to cut, we can pull back and say, well, that isn't the problem. their problem isn't being denied those programs, their problem is basic bad behavior at home. >> couple things. first of all, he doesn't have the rest of the vision culturally to really totally know just how offensive what he's saying it. i'll grant him that. he's from jamesville, wisconsin, he's a guy who loves studying budget numbers. he's now making a tour of america to introduce himself to the bro. that's what he's doing. >> the problem is, the big problem is, that the numbers don't lie, and if you look at paul ryan's budget proposal, he whacks away at every program, at every funding program, and everything designed to try to help the problems he claims he wants to address. >> the column i wrote about ryan wasn't was he racist, was he not racist, it's that he

. >>> after the break, congressman paul ryan and former congressman anthony weiner separated at birtht coming up next. nobody told us to expect it... intercourse that's painful due to menopausal changes. the problem isn't likely to go away... ...on its own. so it's time we do something about it. and there's help. premarin vaginal cream. a prescription that does what no over-the-counter product was designed to do. it provides estrogens to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable. premarin vaginal cream treats vaginal changes due to menopause and moderate-to-severe painful intercourse caused by these changes. don't use premarin vaginal cream if you've had unusual bleeding, breast or uterine cancer, blood clots, liver problems, stroke or heart attack, are allergic to any of its ingredients or think you're pregnant. side effects may include headache, pelvic pain, breast pain, vaginal bleeding and vaginitis. estrogen may increase your chances of getting cancer of the uterus, strokes, blood clots or dementia, so use it for the shortest time based on goals and risks.

i would say paul ryan in my opinion. >> i think it is a range of them.ld refer to marco rubio, but then disappointed in him that he was leading the charge and immigration reform and got so beat up by the right he backed off. that is a case of somebody who could be a real standard for the conservative voice of the party and articulate. but look at what the right did to him when he tried to pursue immigration reform. jenna: it'll be interesting to see if there are any new names that come up in the next year or so. grace to have you both, thank you so much. >> thank you be at jon: president obama facing major pushback right now from democratic lawmakers on a key judicial pick. we will tell you why. plus, she's back in the media spotlight again this week after carl rove's controversial question about her health and age in light of a possible run for the white house. how did the media handle it, are they being fair to hillary? we will take a look next. memorial day weekend? looks like fun. but what about this? if you're looking to buy a car, now is the time a

and i feel like their appointed ambassador for poverty, paul ryan. this is a man who said i have two roles. i'm chairman of the house budget committee and a house member representing wisconsin. i can't speak for everybody and put my stuff on the budget. my work on poverty is a separate thing. how long do you think paul ryan can say i care about poverty but i will not do anything about it there. but 69% of my cuts come from programs that help low-income. >> most people do not believe just because they had a conference that the republicans care about middle class people. their record is that they have the koch brothers financing these extreme campaigns all over the country undermining the democrats. they have to talk about all of this and rand everybody for themselves stuff and understand what it is like to actually not have much money and to need a break and be in a school system which is lousy and have the republicans cut the money. that's their problem. they can talk as much as they want. as ann richard said you can put lipstick on a pig but it is s

but in this week's washington post, this week's post, an abc poll, christie is trailing paul ryan, mikeeb bush and rand paul. christie also lost his crossover appeal. christie with an impressive 45% approval rating among new jersey democrats. in their latest poll that number has plummeted down to 25%. as we mentioned, "the new york times" is reporting that many of christie's donors may abandoned him if jeb bush runs. christie's donors make up a group that according to the book "double down" christie is extremely protective of. this is their account of a meeting between romney and christie in a lead-up between 2012 ele. christie also told romney something else. unless christie made up his mind about endorsing romney, he wanted none of the candidates including mitt to raise money in new jersey. let's be clear, if you jump the gun and start raising money here, you can almost certainly kiss my support goodbye. romney left the meeting incredulous at romney's dictate and back room delivery. it's like something out of the so ppran sopranos. are you kidding me? this rhymes with what we've also

the only people who don't are paul ryan and his friends. everyone else does. the second priority is the deficit. to know the number one solution? create jobs. you will see not only this, but in data that absolutely defies conventional wisdom, 62% of americans said, i agree that the government should focus on jobs, even if it means increasing the deficit in the short term. the key voters in this election are blue-collar women. the people who agree with this statement most are blue-collar women. this is not just a liberal agenda, this is a mainstream agenda. the only people we have to argue with other people on the hill, not with anybody in real america. education, huge issue. it has gotten even bigger. in 2012, education was not so much on the agenda. now all the states have had to cut act and people think it is the absolute wrong priority. america overwhelmingly in favor of education. notice, that the education agenda unites our base, as bob was saying, and the swing. some cares about education the most? independents, african-americans and latinos. we are at a

ma paul ryan says keep the money flowing to the powerful corporations.the special deals for the too big to fail banks and put the blame on hardworking play by the rules americans. the rich paid their fair share where we have a strong safety net where college education is affordable for everyone. joining me now is elizabeth senator warren, democrat from massachusetts. she's also the author of a new book "a fighting chance." thanks for your time this evening, senator. >> it's good to be with you, reverend al. >> is this the defining issue about making sure everyone has a fighting chance in our society? >> i believe it is. i believe what has happened here in washington is that we've got a system that works for those who can hire lobbyists and lawyers and they make sure every rule works for them and everybody else is just left behind. and the way i see it is that's not america. that's not what it means to be america. we believe that every kid should have a fighting chance. and that's what i'm out there fighting for, that's what i talk about in that book. and

wisconsin congressman paul ryan trails hillary by a big 20. ted cruz does the worst against clinton in the poll. he's running 26 points behind the former secretary of state. look at these number, 57 to 31. for cruz. and we'll be right back. ay be tn with the plan but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. i saw my doctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, dec

you had paul ryan and the national review supporting him, claiming his win as a tea party victory is like claiming senator marco rubio was also a win just for the party. what kind of senator will he be? will he be the thorn in the leadership side? or is it more principal conservative who is play ball once in a while? not fully my way or the highway type of guys. sasse told me yesterday he plans to be a team player and despite the bad blood with senator mcconnell he will absolutely support mcconnell as leader if he's the choice of the conference. and last night he said the republican he wants to emulate is jack kemp. >> kemp said that we can only fight big government with bigger ideas and that we have an obligation to offer alternatives to liberalism's path of decline. we have to offer real plans, renewed opportunity and conservative optimism, and that's what this campaign has been about for the last 11 months and it's what it will be about for the next 174 days. >> sounds a lot more like paul ryan than anyone else. he'll face democratic opponent dave domina. you got to ask yourself w

this is a terrible ad made by a liberal group opposed to the paul ryan budget. this one was terrible just because it was sadistic. almost impossible to watch. and it went on and on and on and on with this relentless sort of faceless evil figure pushing an increasingly distraught elderly lady closer and closer to the edge of a cliff while she panics and screams and freaks out and then yes, finally throwing her off the cliff. no matter what you think about the paul ryan budget, that is a terrible, terrible ad. that's a horror movie. in 2008 former democratic u.s. senator from alaska, a man named mike gravel, he ran a honestly mostly sort of adorable campaign for the presidency. he had an interesting career. he'd been involved in releasing the pentagon papers. he'd done some really interesting things as a u.s. senator from alaska back in the day. he would also talk to anybody from any news outlet at any time about anything while he was running. he was kind of great as a candidate. but he did run a 2:51 ad in which -- this is not a still. this is an ad. more than a

the interesting thing to this will be watching folks like rand paul and paul ryan who have been tiltingthe past several months with rand paul going out talking to minority communities and paul ryan talking about poverty in these communities because they know they need to appeal to narrow constituencies, single white women, african americans, hispanics and others and that's what this is about at the end of the day. can they appeal in a way that makes sense to these groups as they move into 2016. >> rick, who is the stronger candidate. let's assume hillary clinton is the nominee. who is the stronger candidate? is it it a more conservative one or is it jeb bush who is more moderate on issues like immigration? >> listen, i've maintained that hillary clinton is a weak candidate and she's got many, many problems and benghazi not amongst them and people don't want to go back, but i agree with what corey is saying and he's not saying it this way, but instead of it being a left-right thing which rand paul is not buying into, it's a forward back. look at the current bureaucracies of the senate pr

i also don't think paul ryan was being truthful about the so-called poverty trap. it has been shown again and again and again, that if you raise people out of poverty, you can't do it simply by raising minimum wage, you have to do it by creating a social safety net. and i know something about this, because we use medicaid for every child in our state, to make every child in our state available for health care 20 years ago. they're not all on medicaid, but all the ones, up into the middle class, are able to have health insurance. so what these republicans are doing, i think, is repulsive, really. truly, it's repulsive. sacrificing the people who elected them for their own political future. >> right, i think you put it well. and it is that stark. the president spoke about this and spoke about it in terms of spite, which is similar to the mean spiritedness that you're discussing tonight. let's take a listen to that. >> states that have chosen to the no expand medicaid for no other reason than political spite. you've got 5 million people that could be having health ins

paul ryan. he loves to wear these hats.e its very good at positioning himself as the, the serious budget guy now. he is positioning himself as the the republican who cares about the poor. but the policy its never there. i mean, the math never adds up in the budget. he engaged in the review of all of our poverty programs. massively dishonest. some of the professors whosecit report. we object to the way you interpret the results. the reality is never there in terms of what he actually wants to do. and in fact his budget, his appropriates would be de proposals would be devastating. any body that looks in a serious, balanced way would say the same. >> that's fair. why some shenanigans are frustrating and telling going into the mid terms. you see the, you aptly put it the zero sign. zero sign could, apply to ted cruz's plan. crystal ball. thank you for joining us. >> of course. >> fresh it. coming up. we have, toronto tea controversial mayor making headlines tonight. that's straight ahead. in pursuit of all things awesome, amazi

i see relationship between what paul ryan says when he talks about inner-city people who are urban with all the code words being articulated and the kind of clive bundy expression to the donald sterling. only when there is a flash point do we galvanize our energy either pro or conwiebe again to talk about. donald sterling has never been held accountable. >> >> schieffer: can what struck me this is on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the 1964 civil rights bill. >> i don't think there's any question whatsoever that we've come a long way. since that day, but is this some aberration or is this a symptom of something that runs deep in american society? >> it's aecium top. the anniversary of brown v. board. a lot of big anniversaries. i'm not surprised this happen in the arena of sports. because in many ways sports often pushes this conversation because of the sort of ideas of fairness attached. you are supposed to win clean and play fair. so i do think this is symptomatic and it's interesting because mr. sterling took us to an interesting place. he did not punish donald silver for what

and that would include someone like paul ryan, who by my lights, could hardly be called an establishment sellout. he spent his entire five years fighting barack obama. >> and challenging tom delay when they were -- when they were in the majority in 2005 on the budget. >> the party has to get clear about what its opposition is, and more often than not, simply seemed it is other republicans in congress which creates a circular firing squad. >> i think this is also a very bad night for rand paul. >> how so? >> because he once again showed poor political judgment in backing an unvetted, undisciplined candidate. and he has -- >> and greg brannan. >> greg brannan in north carolina. and kay hagan is extremely vulnerable. and i think the gop in that state wants to be throwing everything at her right now. if rand paul had had his way, i think he would have increased the chances of her holding on. >> why did his endorsement fail? where it has succeeded in other places? >> i think he was backing an undisciplined candidate here, and that candidate was going up you against a conservative in thom till

. >> you know what always bothered me, when congressman paul ryan was chosen to be president. i thought. why is everyone using the word bold? everyone is going to repeat what each other said. >> i agree. that's the real problem. the existence of liberal writers, that isn't the problem. the problem is when you get liberal writers who advanced the agenda, not something to be reported or making the argument and even one of them said he's going to call my boss a racist, just to sort of distract. >> that is so dirty. >> that's been published. the problem isn't really a simple existence, when they do things like that or when the mainstream media follows their lead. >> if you call someone a racist, homophobic or anything, you start a campaign on any of these websites against a politician or anybody else, it is really -- you know, it's deadening. >> i think it's misleading to talk about bloggers. during the obama years it's been ezra klein formerly "the washington post." he was operating like a liberal blogger and with all of the credibility of the a big old institution. they had him
