paul ryan and the agenda they pushed, people are fed up with that. trunk is largely -- trump is largely baked in. the singular focus will be the economic issues. host: for those races, what type of voter would put a democrat in the win column? is it your base turns out in larger numbers than 2016, or you are getting trump voters to go to the democratic side, or getting undecideds? who will take you over the top? charlie: it is district by district. that is what is so interesting. the trump dynamic in congress and washington, it operates differently in different districts. a poll in northeast iowa -- th ere were suburban districts that before, but not -- the western suburbs of minneapolis, places like that. in addition, there are these noncollege districts, rural, places we have had representation before. it cuts different ways. ahead in a recent poll by 10 or 11 points. that is a district trump had success in last cycle, but obama won twice. back.u are seeing a shift in addition, in northern maine -- those are places where trump has had success. mayb

paul ryan has been very outspoken against the president's tariffs.ace he has broken very strongly with the president. and, frankly, traditionally democrats have been more in favor of tariffs. i would just like to know directly where mr. bryce thinks he differs from paul ryan's view on these tariffs. >> sure. kasie hunt has a question for you. paul ryan has been critical of the tariffs and the way the president has gone about this approach. where do you differ from speaker ryan? >> well, speaker ryan, the only time you hear something from him is when his donors are affected. that's why you're hearing something about this now. i'm for keeping jobs here. that's what we need to do. what donald trump is doing is misusing these tariffs and alienating people that have traditionally been our allies. they're turning their backs on us. when you are looking at trying to renegotiate nafta-type deal without canada, that's absolutely ridiculous. and it makes no sense. we need input from people that are going to be affected, not ignore the people. >> kasie? >> vaug

the reality here is paul ryan is the single most unpopular political figure in the country. trump's numbers continue to drop. his jobs numbers are falling fast. paul ryan, in district after district, survey after survey that we have done in these battlegrounds, is the single most unpopular figure. we are moving forward. what they would like to do on the other side is distract, because they have no answer when it comes to economic issues. they can't explain away their disastrous health care plan, they cannot explain their tax reform plan that rewards only those at the top. they said they would focus exclusively on the tax rewards plan. then conor lamb came, and we saw it wasn't effective. the tax reform plan is it wasn't effective. the tax reform plan is underwater. it is worse today than when it was introduced last fall. the numbers keep getting softer for them on that plan. their effort is to distract. they are facing corruption and scandal within their own ranks. they have a leadership challenge, whether it is scalise, kevin mccarthy, who has been precluded from being spea

house speaker paul ryan is about to hold a news conference. you know he's going to be asked about this. senator orrin hatch was asked by our team. hatch, when told about the donald trump tweet, orrin hatch, ally of the president, had a shocked or confused expression. that's perfect his own aides who confirmed this, said i don't know anything about that. he said there is no doubt that the response or that the hurricane itself was a tragedy. >> the other thing about this, and all that is really important is we are not just talking about the president saying things that are counterfactual and have been pre-fact checked to be wrong by tamara but the president diminishing the severity of a hurricane that happened a year ago that was extremely devastating in puerto rico on the eve of an extremely potentially devastating hurricane. people are deciding to stay in those areas, maybe they don't believe things are that bad and the president is saying the official estimate here is overcooked. it wasn't actually that bad and basically the government lied t

>> look, i think paul ryan will walk away from his office people saying he's a respectable man. you look at his behavior under the trump administration what he said repeatedly, i'm going to be reluctant to criticize him in public and speak to him privately. there's a public debate in this country about what's appropriate from the oval office. the president of the united states confuses the presidency with the president. the presidency is about protecting things like the constitution not protecting your personal interests. i think paul ryan has been derelict is not criticizing the president who overstepped his bounds. i thought that was a weak statement. >> that's why the ben sass statement, john. it is so notable because we often talk about how any republican who has had the audacity to speak out about some of the policies or the things they don't like about the trump administration retires. >> we said good-bye to john mccain and he led that class. flake leaving the senate, corker leaving the senate. it has come down to a very few republicans who have had the spine and guts to s

this is the disgusting portrait that we see over and over again by paul ryan.u know he went to the ronald reagan institute and talked about american values and american leadership in the world today? how he does this with a straight face is really beyond me. he has done this from day one. he has been one of the i think worst enablers that have been out there. he refused to center him over charlottesville, and it's been downhill ever since. so it doesn't surprise me. it still horrifies me, but it doesn't surprise me. >> and then what's so unnerving is the way this works is yesterday there was no position in american politics that those deaths were made of. that didn't exist as a position, cristina. today that is now a position. and there are a bunch of people, american citizens and political leadership who will now have that position, they can be a somewhat legitimate talking point. i think it connects to the climate change issue that you were talking about before. what's really interesting is there is mass death occurring in multiple locations. we're in the mid

it's encouraging, is in it that paul ryan is at the top of that swampy list. kevin mccarthy moved to a leadership position in congress, he has taken nearly three quarters of a million dollars from lobbyists. i wonder how many meetings that bought. we reached out to the congressman's office for, and they provided a statement including the following. congressman mccarthy is proud of his work representing the 23d his voting record reflects how it will affect his community, constituents and country. he has worked hard to increase support and raise money for house republicans to protect this majority and the american come back. that's nice, isn't it. impacting his community and his constituents. congressman i know your district is in the middle of california central valley. not exactly swarming with goldman sachs bankers and k street lobbyists. anyway, let's move on to florida's democratic center bill nelson facing a strong challenge from rick scott. make no mistake if former governor scott takes the seat, it could literally be the one that keeps the senate majorit

ryan mcconnell and paul are really intent on avoiding that at all costs. they have set up a strategy where they are going to try to pass a series of packages of appropriations at least to get most of the government put on full-year funding, leaving homeland security, the state department, the justice department and commerce department on a stopgap through the election. that is the plan as we head into september. it could run into turbulent times if trump insists on redoing some of this. he is showing willingness to assign the first of these packages, funding the veterans affairs department. that would reduce the impact of any >> and the house has been out for summer recess. the senate has taken a couple of breaks. human tend us some of the spending bill packages but could you give us an overview or a roundup of the packages that have been passed? the senate -- >> there are three parts. the legislative affairs bill that funds congress itself has the military construction and veterans affairs bill. it has energy and water which funds the army corps of engine

i have the commitment from mitch mcconnell, paul ryan and everybody. we'll do it right after the election where hopefully frankly it will be easy because we'll have more republicans. eric: right now the senate funded $1.6 billion for the wall, the house $5 billion. that's a large number the president would want. >> it's not a matter of if we have this conversation but when. we know the republicans will have this conversation about the border wall and border security funding eventually. the president is saying he believes it may hurt them in the mid-terms if they have this before the elections. so what we have are leadership urging him, this won't bode well for voters if they see we are having a government shutdown before the elections. the president doesn't want that to happen. he's nervous about keeping control of the house and senate. so i'm sure he's listening to them and hearing their concerns. if they are packaging it in a way saying we won't have as many republicans voted in. i am sure that's something they will take into consideration. >> they s

it looks like paul ryan is willing to go to conference with the senate on the package them in even the other house has not passed its version. this could cause consternation from conservatives. the final one involves all the other bills. that could probably be packaged with a stopgap measure, getting us through the election. >> president trump and his white house budget director have said they do not want another omnibus, another huge package together spending bill. how were they planning on dealing with the border wall? up, trumptting it would sign the first minibus package with the veterans affairs in september. then at least you of got it down from a 12 bill to a nine bill. second done, if you get it to six bills. say, we are not giving you them all. i think that that is where we are headed. the bigger issue for trump is is so much the omnibus, it that his border wall is not being funded. the white house budget office has worked with the house to provide $5 million this year for the wall. $1.6enate has said billion. the republican from west end ofa told us at the august that she had

a little while ago, congressional leaders, including speaker paul ryan and mitch mcconnell, agreed with appropriators and white house staff, and as far as we were aware, president trump to hold that debate until after the midterms, and during the lame-duck session of congress, they would work out the issues. they would not have a public fight over the border wall before voters head to the polls in november. >> let's take a look at one last issue that is under consideration, which is hurricane funding. what have you heard about the effort, especially by north and south carolina lawmakers, to get funding for some of the relief and recovery? jennifer: this year, the response of fema and others is vastly different than the response we had last year when those three major hurricane struck in a very short amount of time. we also had a lot of wildfires in the west. last year's fema disaster relief fund did not have a lot of money in it. this year, i believe they have about $26 billion available right now. last year, when hurricane harvey struck texas and louisiana in late august, they had abou

announcer: in his weekly news briefing, paul ryan talked about recent unemployment numbers, the economy, and trade policy. he also comments on the new york times opinion piece. this is 10 minutes. speaker ryan: i don't know how many of you were around in the 1960's. that's the last time the number of americans filing for unemployment benefits was this low. 49 years ago. this is the best job market we have had in decades. and here's something else that's very encouraging. workers in what are traditionally considered lower-wage jobs, the bank tellers, maintenance workers, they are seeing some of the biggest pay increases right now. and we expect this trend to continue. so we're on track here. tax reform is working. families are better off. businesses are hiring. businesses are expanding. manufacturing is booming. should have seen the index come up yesterday. we're finally seeing the kind of broad based economic growth in our economy that we were gunning for. do we have more to do? we absolutely have more to do. we still have millions of jobs unfilled. that story is playing out across the
