there's just -- it is incredible supporting paul ryan, kevin mccarthy supporting paul ryan and trying he's not part of the ryan team of establishment and k street blood suckers. i mean it's just anaizin amazin. >> both of those two guys are damaging themselves and they've disqualified themselves as being future leaders. the bottom line here is paul ryan, who keeps saying you drafted me, you drafted me, that was three years ago. we now know he can't do the job, can't lead. it's time for him to say thank you very much, and go home. that's what he wants to do. let me start deer hunting or whatever he wants to do in wisconsin early. lou: my guess is he wants to put a snout deep in the k street trunk. >> most of them do unfortunately. and so a certain extent, in his case, he wants a legacy. his legacy is going to be he's going to lose the majority if he's not careful here. lou: he's not going to be careful. he hasn't got a clue what he's doing. and to sit there and lose the farm bill, the freedom caucus. ththe freedom caucus se everybodiedeservescredit. he is leading, kevin mccarthy is lea

paul ryan, some are saying he needs to go now.y cannot withstand several more months of him making misdirected calls like what we saw with the farm bill today. what do you say? >> i agree. when i heard you say he's on his way out, it was music to my ears. the interesting thing is, we -- congress doesn't necessarily have to pick from congressional members. this could be literally anyone in the world. lou dobbs, cheryl casone. they don't have to pick someone from within their ranks. with the current ratings of congress, maybe they should pick an outsider. cheryl: you have 40 conservatives signing this letter for jim jordan to take over. we had a couple guests on the air saying jim jordan would be a great pick. and he wants to fight for the true conservative beliefs of the party. >> i'll speak for talk radio. most of of my colleagues say jim jordan. and he's good on tv. he's combative when necessary. and he'll go on these other networks and be combative but it's in a friendly way. he's articulate. he's have much involved in all this

how long paul ryan stays is a different story. it's never a good luck when the speaker of the house and the majority leader have to fight off a discharge petition coming with their own members involved. we haven't seen this very often.

leader kevin mccarthy, who has a lean and hungry look even when he denies that he wants to knock out paul ryan have all kinds of people leaking that really they should replace ryan with mccarthy. president trump is much closer to mccarthy than he is to ryan. but mccarthy's problem is that he doesn't seem to have 218 votes right now. so even republicans who want to knock out ryan may not yet have the capacity to do so, which will only let this roiling mess continue. >> and mick mulvaney, the president's budget director, who was just prior to the trump election a member of congress, house chairman -- he told a "weekly standard" conference last week that they've been thinking about this and discussing it. he said he discussed it with kevin mccarthy. he said, i've talked with kevin about this privately but not as much publicly. wouldn't it be great to force a democrat running in a tight race to have to put up or shut up about voting for nancy pelosi eight weeks before an election? that's a really, really good vote for us if we can figure out how to do it. and so, e.j., he's there coming up with th

until kevin mccarthy or someone else has 280 votes to be speaker, paul ryan isn't resigning, paul ryanthis conversation not just tomorrow but six months from now. republicans after the election will then have to figure out who the next speaker is. but paul ryan is not going anywhere in the short term. >> that's true. >> so tara, short term, as the party tries to build, leading to midterm election, is there any consensus on what may be in their back pocket? >> on immigration or just in general? >> on any issue that might help move the needle or try to solidify their support leading into these elections. >> other than the economy and supporting tax cuts that have helped individuals and businesses, probably not. you know, midterm elections are always dicey. the party in power usually loses seats. how many is always the metric, we're not sure. but it's looking better for republicans now, the generic ballot, the congressional ballot has tightened. it could still go either way. but the issue of immigration has always been a divisive one. when i worked on capitol hill, back from 2006 to 2013,

give them aid at all. >> house republicans divided about giving dreamers a path to citizenship, paul ryances. ryan's call to unity fell on deaf ears and moderate republicans want to force a vote as early as june that could protect dreamers. those moderates would be about four signatures away from reaching a threshold to bring up the vote. conservative republicans said they don't want any vote even if it's bipartisan for dreamers. the infight may have contributed to a loss last week. when the house freedom caucus defied paul ryan on a farm bill which touches on these issues as well. paul ryan also in the news tonight as i reported because he said this hour he won't go to the big gang of eight meeting tomorrow. maybe we'll get to that as well. but starting on immigration as promised, maria, what does this mean to you. >> i think not only is paul ryan in over his head. i think he had the idea that he was going to assume the speakership and basically do something with it and he hasn't been able to. this is the legacy he was hoping to cement and he's far from it. i think what we see the freedo

and so paul ryan needs to finally be the check on power that congress has given to him. today there's an opportunity to do that. there's a gang of eight meeting, a bipartisan meeting, to look at many of the bogus claims donald trump has asserted. but what paul ryan is doing represents the worst of washington. he's going to a fundraiser instead. so the corrupting influence of money wins over core democratic principles. paul ryan should stay in town, go to that meeting, finally step up, be a leader, and be a check on an out-of-control president. mr. raskin: thank you very much, mr. nadler. i just have three quick points. the first point is that the president of the united states has one job under article two of the constitution. it's to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. this president wakes up every morning trying to figure out how to thwart the laws of the united states. that's all that he's been doing. and at this point, if you think about it, he's defying the very basis of the rule of law. we can't think of another president who has directly interfered in

paul ryan endorsing that, how do you respond?ok, i think it is dangerous, what folks don't understand about a fisa application and the court through which you go to do achieve a fisa application is that it goes through so many layers and levels. to assert there was misconduct going on as an indictment on the fbi, an indictment on the doj, and, again, these are all the same folks who many of them backed up director comey, then director comey, he was out there with the press conference, assailing hillary clinton's character and conduct. i just think this is a waste of our tax dollars and, two, this was a democratic president doing this, the republicans in congress would not be going quietly into the night. this is a breakdown of the republicans. i think folks should be concerned. >> go ahead. >> i think it is really important that we let this investigation play out. i have full confidence in the federal investigators with regard to the fisa process and how they're going about obtaining information. at the same time, i do believe th

this weekend paul ryan said i'm not done yet. >> house chaplain father conroy was fired by paul ryan,ather conroy believes it's because of a specific prayer in november when he prayed for lawmakers to keep in mind disparities when it comes to tax reform. >> may this guarantee there are not winners and losers under new tax laws but benefits shared by all. >> paul ryan said he heard complaints conroy was not meeting lawmakers' spiritual needs. >> trevor: wow, the house chaplin might have gotten fired for praying poor people not get screwed over by the tax bill. damn. i never saw someon saw someone t (bleep) so hard. you need a priest in this congress, you need an exorcist. he's probably walking through the capitol saying, begone, demon! i'm ted cruz. like i said, begone, demon! ( laughter ) ( applause ) in the past few months we've covered multiple stories about north korea. the stories switched from we're all going to die! to we're all going to live peacefully together! north korea today another big step in that direction. >> the leaders with north korea and south korea stunned the wor

has paul ryan already lost control of the house. really?is just what you want in an election year in which your hold on the majority is at stake. >> i'm surprised that republicans are tearing each other apart over him graimmigra again. this has been going on for 15 years. this is a continuation of a very, very primal and powerful debate that has been happening. as for paul ryan, this holding pattern underneath him, i'm not convinced that it will hold into january. one thing that harry reid did differently is pick the successor, stamped out any leadership battle. there is a difference going on. >> and to that point, here is what the weekly standard says, kevin mccarthy meets with mick mulvaney, they talked about mccarthy being speaker some day, they are debating about what the day was. mccarthy is denying something mulvaney admitted on the record. they have spoken or they haven't. one isn't telling the truth. will the truth teller please stand up. >> yeah, i think it is getting increasingly difficult for kevin mccarthy and his allies to deny

. >> and where's paul ryan? where's mitch mcconnell. >> something you said yesterday, that's the most disappointing because they should know better. paul ryan, mike pence, they have all the angles, all the experience, they absolutely positively know better. and have chose ton do the wrong thing. >> instead, willie, they're lumping olump i lurching out on something, the controversial version of the new coke. this doesn't end well. this guy trump, he goes away, he leaves a stain on the legacy of mike pence and leaves a stain on the legacy of paul ryan and leaves a stain on the legacy of devin nunes and leaves a stain on megcy of mark meadows and leaves a stain on of mitch mcconnell. he leaves a stain on the legacy of of every republican that will not raise their voice, at a critical crossroads of this constitutional republic, where the president of the united states is interfering with an investigation into the president's operation and willie, by the way, this is after the president's campaign manager. has been i

you're not going to get elected on paul ryan's plan. lou: don't tell me. tell the koch brothers, to tom donahue at the chamber of commerce. >> i don't care about those individuals. i care about the candidates and the president. i want to support the president's programs and get the country moving. lou: john mccain deciding he didn't want the president at his funeral. he wanted instead obama and bush. obama who sent him on a mission to take -- to urge president cici. your reaction to this? >> my reaction is that the mccain republican party that he dreamt about and tried to invent never came about. he lost bodily in a presidential election. he had every opportunity to be a viable senator. he broke the back of the president's repeal of obamacare and i wish he has a peaceful whatever but he's totally irrelevant today. lou: anti-trump fbi agent lisa page has been fired apparently but her coconspirator peter truck remains at thstrzok remai. more on the fight to clean it up. andy liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the nigh

house speaker paul ryan backs off his decision to dismiss the house chaplain. >>> and the most active volcano in the world is erupting right now. this morning more than a thousand people evacuating as lava streams down streets towards their homes. >> i was just there. i was just there. >> i know, that's unbelievable. >> stunning pictures. >> a stunning live report ahead. you're a life of unpredictable symptoms. crohn's, you've tried to own us. but now it's our turn to take control with stelara® stelara® works differently for adults with moderately to severely active crohn's disease. studies showed relief and remission, with dosing every 8 weeks. stelara® may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. some serious infections require hospitalization. before treatment, get tested for tuberculosis. before or during treatment, always tell your doctor if you think you have an infection or have flu-like symptoms or sores, have had cancer, or develop any new skin growths, or if anyone in your house needs or recently had a v

paul ryan should take you off the committee. i want to read for you, by eric lichtblau about the fbi. he says, many of you attack trump are self-serving. investigations of his business and political dealings of the witch hunt. but as much as the bureaus roughly 14,000 special agents might like to tune out the news, internal and external reports have found lapses throughout the agency and longtime observers looking past the partisan haze and see a troubling picture. something is really wrong at the fbi. that's not devin nunes saying that, that's lichtblau saying that. >> devin: i've conveyed this to director ray. he has a tough, tough job to do and he needs to clean the place up. i've also said this publicly. we don't see problems out in the field with field agents, where we do see the problem is in washington, d.c. now to director ray's credit, you have seen many of the comey era people that have been excused. what will be even better is if director ray when he gets the information that we need in a timely matter. >> laura: than

i doubt mccarthy will push paul ryan out. >> money talks. paul ryan brought in $11.9 million.p or shut up. everybody else who wants that job. they won't move him out as long as they need to raise money for these mid-term elections which are going to be contentious. we need paul ryan to finish and have a le tonight mat open-run election. kennedy: is there a benefit to chaos? >> the last republican speaker. dennis hastert we can't discuss on air. so this is quite a cast of characters. kennedy: i love paul rino. i think he has turned his back on his principles. >> in 2020 romney needed to. kennedy: you are good friends and you are delightful people. thank you all. coming up. cops say amazon's facial recognition technology is helping them identify suspects in crime. but the privacy police are sounding alarm bells. find the remote yet? nah. honey look, your old portable cd player. my high school rethainer. oh don't... it's early 90s sitcom star dave coulier... cut...it...out!

as you all know, congressman paul ryan is the 54th speaker of the house. he is now serving his tenth and final term in the house. he represents wisconsin's first congressional district. he previously served as chairman of the house ways and means committee and chairman of the house budget committee. he is one of the most thoughtful and respected members of the house on either side of the aisle. folks who agree with him or disagree with him appreciate his integrity, his attention to detail, his concern and care about policy. and we're delighted and honored that he has once again made time to spend time with us. please welcome paul ryan. [applause] >> so you made your announcements last month. you said you wanted to run right through the tape, which means even though you are retiring at the end of this term, that you're going to keep working as you can to make sure you get everything done that you can possibly get done. what are you going to try to do before you leave the house at the end of the and the speakership? >> basically complete a better wage and ma

but what paul ryan, if you want to understand, if paul ryan thinks he has a problem on his happened handslook at the emergency meeting he called on this, wuns t once he went around the leadership here. he understands there is a problem. this immigration issue, kate, you can't sort of look at it in a vacuum. look at it over the last 12 years, certainly a decade plus, the republican party has been roiled by this issue, from george w. bush days, when senator kennedy and senator mccain were trying to do immigration reform, this is a rift inside the republican party and if you look at the people who have signed on to this discharge petition, to understand the politics behind this, match it up with the map of the vulnerable districts that republicans are in this fall. they know as mark was saying the american people have made themselves clear on this, and they know they're on the side of the majority of americans on this, that's why they're trying to force paul ryan's hand here. >> stand by to stand by on that. on the broader immigration conversation, mark, the president yesterday said this abo

but paul ryan has not stood tall.e has not stood loudly in support of this president or against the department of justice and the fbi. he's weak-kneed. he's a trembling figure in the twilight of his tenure as speaker. how much can the republican party stand from this man? we hear there is a discharge petition in which he is basically trying to make it look as though he has been carried across the finish line to amnesty which has been his goal for years and years and years without a quid pro quo. the dischannel petition says we are going to take a vote on everybody's immigration bill. the conservatives have the goodlatte immigration bill that end chain migration and build the wall. all the things we care about. and takes care of daca. the democrats can have their proposals. but you know what i'm sick of? i'm sick of not taking votes. i'm sick of debating immigration and talking about it but not doing anything about it. lou: i'm more concerned about delivering for the american people. right now daca is amnesty. and daca

he and paul ryan had a meeting this morning. >> wade good cup of coffee this

of freedom caucus, we hear that congressman jim jordan is being proffered as a speaker to replace paul ryan, the lame duck who wants to stay in office. not surprising. but there he is. and second part is idea that somehow if ryan stepped down that nancy pelosi would have to show how much support she has according to mick mulvaney, your thoughts on the above? well i think that jim jordan would be an excellent choice, he needs to get out start a national campaign so people over america can express their support for jim jordan to come in serve as next speaker. third in line to presidency of united states the other issue is nancy pelosi. is trying to come in and basically she is out of touch. but she is in line to be next speaker of house should democrats return to prominence. we cannot let that happen. and so, you know -- >> you are going about it a funny way with a lame duck speaker carry new midterm election who does not have a clue what he is doing, and has said he does not want to be speaker, he is leaving congress. and he is supposed to be, somehow some sort of fund-raiser, he has -- i me

here is speaker paul ryan. >> we are having productive conversations with our members about how we can get the policy and the votes people are looking for and doing it in a process with a chance to make it to law. ultimately isn't that what we are supposed to do here? write laws? if we go down this path or that path; meaning, failed paths that guarantees no law gets made it's an exercise in

announced early that they were leaving. >> this is something that john boehner struggled with before paul ryanver where speaker ryan has got to juggle what he believes personally with what he believes his congress wants and it is hard to understand. paul ryan has been a catholic sort of his brand of compassion and conservatism and how you can minister to that aggression immigration votes are not what he wants either. so this tension with the more conservative elements has just been this fissure that has been very difficult to manage. >> we started off with a clip of ryan saying there is not 218 votes. i don't think that is true. i think if the bill protects dreamers probably has a majority almost all democrats and a bunch of republicans. it's not -- the underlying issue here is that the bill with the majority support in the senate and the house among hall chambers is not something trump supports. the core of this is that trump is not clear what immigration bill people like and trump will sign. the answer is nothing we can figure out. >> we'll see what it means for the mid terms. people who are

it's a bit of a soft deadline by paul ryan, he kind of made it a hard deadline today. he wants to see a deal on nafta by today, or these be notified of one if congress is going to consider that this year. that was a major goal of the administration. you always want to get that kind of thing squared away in the first half of your first term if possible. but they're just not there yet. the u.s., canada and mexico are not there. the u.s. domestic political

paul ryan was correct when he did the tax code and what did he deciphers we had to go after? social security -- he decided we have to go after? social security and medicare? now we needed to do something about social security and medicare. that's the only way to find room to pay for it. i don't know a whole lot of people in the top 1/10 of 1% or the top 1% who are relying on social security when they retire. i don't know a lot of them. maybe you guys do. so we need a program of progressive tax code that treats workers as job creators, not just investors from a leg gets rid of unprotected loopholes, like stepped up basis, the raises enough revenue to make sure that the social security and medicare can stay. instantly the adjustments. it can stay. and pay for the things we all of knowledge will grow the country.

paul ryan se ha negado a autorizar esa votaciÓn.isladores quieren presentar un proyecto de ley que ayudarÍa a cientos de miles de soÑadores y al mismo tiempo fortalecerÍa la vigilancia fronteriza. javier: nos vamos al congreso porque hay legisladores que querÍan interrogar al funcionario del gobierno del presidente trump que escribiÓ la pregunta de estatus sobre el censo, pero el hombre brillÓ

leaders in the days ahead to make progress for the american people. >> martha: so do you think that paul ryanl be before the midterm? >> i think that will be a decision for speaker ryan. >> martha: he said he wants to stay all the way through. >> he has articulated that and i think he has stood by that. but what i can tell you is the president and i are very grateful to speaker paul ryan, to leader mccarthy, to the entire leadership team in the house. they've really been delivering for the american people. >> martha: that sounds like you would be okay with an earlier transition. >> i think i personally would be okay with whatever the members of congress chose to do because this is a team that has been delivering, but at the end of the day, our focus is on the agenda that the president was elected to advance in this congress has been delivering on that agenda from day one. >> martha: what about all these articles about your shadow campaign operation and that you are seeking to exercise expansive control over the political party that is ostensibly homed by president trump? >> [laughs] the presi

it's a bit of a soft deadline by paul ryan, he kind of made it a hard deadline today. he wants to see a deal on nafta by today, or these be notified of one if congress is going to consider that this year. that was a major goal of the administration. you always want to get that kind of thing squared away in the first half of your first term if possible. but they're just not there yet. the u.s., canada and mexico are not there. the u.s. domestic political situation is divided over nafta and the trump administration's approach. we would be very shocked if we got word of a deal today. so it looks like no congressional consideration of nafta this year. >> what does that mean for the negotiations, for how this plays out in the coming months? >> it looks like we're going to be in the long haul. it's interesting that president trump's approach to trade and his trade representative bob lig lighthiser, they agree with some groups on the left in terms of the need for changing the way the international trading system works, rebalancing it towards american workers, even if that mea
