you wanted to ask about paul ryan. >> i did. former house speaker paul ryan g was sobbing as he watched the attack on the u.s. capitol. that's not actually the part that i was most curious about your thoughts on. it was also the fact that paul ryan is not inclined to grapple with questions of complicity when it comes to the fact that he serves on the board of the fox corporation or about the times that he may have had a chance to challenge president trump and didn't. what do you think? >> i think this may sound nutty, but paul ryan can have greater influence on the public discourse as a board member of fox corporation, the parent of fox news, than he could have had as house speaker. such is the power and control of th today for republicans doesn't come from the rnc, it doesn't come from the speaker of the house, when they control the house or the senate majority leader. no, it comes from, you know, the oracles on fox, especially in prime time, who set -- people might not look it, but they set the establish they establish what th

i'm so glad that you said that because you did work for paul ryan and paul ryan's life's dream. >> yes, i did. >> was to pass a massive tax cut for the super rich. trump did that. he signed a massive tax dhaut benefitted the rich people. >> it was both an opportunity -- >> can i get you to comment on this, mr. fayad. >> opportunity and honor to work for jack kemp and you'll never get me to believe that hard taxes are the way to solve this -- >> let me ask mr. fayad. i'm just going to talk to you because i don't think our other guest is listening. would you agree that in the end because i always tell people this all the time, the one -- the two things donald trump actually really did accomplish legislatively was that massive tax cut and putting those people on the supreme court and that the reason that every single person who testified in these hearings would vote for him again is that he was the means to that end so they don't care what else he did? >> i think that's exactly right. >> mr. abdallah. >> i think that's exactly right. and, you know, trump delivered that agenda, like i ment

there's one piece out it that's come out today that's newsy about the former speaker of the house, paul ryan, and his reaction to january 6th. mark wrote "paul was sitting at home watching the situation devolve, he never thought it would come to this. this is what most republicans said as he watched the capitol being ransacked on tv, ryan found himself sobbing. he's never been much of a cryer, he said, but something snapped in him. i spent my whole adult life in that building, ryan told me later and i saw my friends, a lot of cops, some of my old security detail, i'm still friends with a bunch of those guys. it really disturbed me foundational. he goes on to write a little bit more about how paul ryan, despite all of this, still sits on the board of fox news. and is still, you know, somewhat complicit in building donald trump up and building all of these lies up. how did that strike you? >> yeah, i think that's very important. first of all, i love mark, i have his book on my night stand right next to your new great book. >> thank you. >> i think what he's done here is try to examine in some

your former boss, as we mentioned was paul ryan.is serving on the board of the parent company of fox. if the intended audience for this report are fellow conservatives, if somebody like paul ryan has come forward, to disavow fox and the election lies, do you think that diminishes the purpose of the, mission behind why you guys did this report? >> i do not think so at all. the mission is, for everybody to be able to look at, this easily and quickly, and see, from people who believe like they do, and limited government. in freedom of religion, freedom of speech. and, equality of opportunity and prosperity for all. and believe in those things, and support people like ronald reagan, and the two bush presidencies. those people,, those people should look at this from the point of view of, that we have taken, which is to be open to all the case in arguments made, by the trump people. and see that in the end, they were not able to prove any of the questions that they raised. that is how our system works. that is part of the reason we got to

have you spoken to your former boss, paul ryan about this?now he has urged republicans to look at other candidates, other than donald trump, but he is also on the board of fox. you can show this report to paul ryan, there is a big chance fox news isn't even going to air the hearing tomorrow night. he has an awful lot of influence for people who sucked down conservative media night after night. >> i've talked him about the report, and he has seen the report, and delivered a copy to him. so that he could look at it. we've had people, one of the phrase and abuse that we had frankly, was on a box special report. so, we have done that with other conservative groups as well. and we will continue to do that. because our audience is, as you point, out primarily, conservatives who are still concerned about this election. we want to show them that what we did, the evidence we gathered, the thorough way we went through it to probe -- and we didn't go it into it with a preconceived of whether it was right or wrong. we went in going in, what does the evid

in the wrong way by trying to centralize power through remember the effort to repeal obamacare um paul ryan whom i know and i've said this to his face and i'm a friend of his he tried to sort of do office hours the first time around he was like come in visit me telling me your thoughts and we're going to incorporate everybody's stuff into that and in the end he lost both centrists and uh conservatives . to find new ways to make deals that's going to the long slow slog of sort of, you know committees. imagine senate having ended bait on the amendment on the floor, that would be one of these days. i'm not saying that would solve all the problems. i agree earmarks have acted for better and worse as a lubricant. but he thanks going back to a normal committee deliberative way of doing it could be a much slower way of getting the same sort of dealmaking per. >> i one 100% agree. they committees should be the one smoothing legislation. you find members can strike a deal with the member on the other side. you might both have the same water quality issue. there are relationships that form and those

paul ryan, when i talked to him repeatedly through the years, mitt romney's running mate, and a few months genuinely was watching tv. burst into tears. just couldn't believe what he was seeing. saw his security detail going mano y mano with the rioters, saying i don't know what to do, i was overcome. i'm not john boehner, i'm not a crier. finally, i said, were these tears of complicity? he said, yes. he sits on the board of fox news an entity that probably has more to do with donald trump continued rehabilitation, than anything, he didn't want to go there, but, look, it's complicated. i don't want to cast judgment on anyone -- maybe i do. >> you take even case differently which i respect here. we have 45 seconds left. you addressed one of the giant questions of the last six years is what happened to lindsey graham. and your answer, i think, is unique compared to others i've seen. in some ways, you say this is about lindsey graham. >> yeah, it's an apply all for politics. lindsey graham has been about being in the mix, being relevant, to use his word. whether it was next to john mccain, or

paul ryan sits on the board of directors of the fox corporation, which continues to give air time toing this toxic racism into the mainstream and is mainstreaming a kind of racist rhetoric that just very, very recently was confined to the far corners of white nationalist and white supremacist websites, and so you really see the transformation and the real danger that's there, as david and kimberly were pointing out. >> david, last night we saw 42 republican senators vote against the passage of a bill that expands health care coverage for military veterans exposed to toxins in burn pits during their service. i want to play what jon stewart, who has been a huge advocate for getting care to veterans and first responders for years now react to this earlier. watch. >> utter disbelief. i've been coming down here a long time and i'm used to the lies and i'm used to the deception and i'm used to the cowardice and used to the hypocrisy. but what i am not used to is the casual cruelty. >> "casual cruelty." explain why this happened and why it's another example of republicans showing us who the

think they responded in the wrong way by trying to centralize power, remember to repeal obamacare paul ryan who i know and i've said this to his face and i'm a friend of his he tried to do office hours the first time around, come in, visit me and tell me your thoughts we're going to incorporate everybody stuff into this. he lost both centers and conservatives. the seconde time through he trd to go through a committee process and guess what if you get to introduce your amendment, debated or try to suit enter persuade and then vote on it and your amendment still feels you're more likely to vote on the final package because you had your set this is a great thing about deliberative democratic process. i think the party leaders if they want to find new ways to make deals it's going to be going to the long slow slog of committees. imagine the senate have a debate on the amendment on the floor that would be wild these days. i'm not saying that would solve all the problems. i agree with you earmarks have acted for better and for worse as a lubricant but i think going back to a normal committee deli

he seems less articulate maybe than he was he's not the guy who pummeled paul ryan in the vice presidentialates back in 2012 and when he fell off that bike i ached for him. i could feel my old bones -- you know, creeking. you know, and you know as whether or not he runs for office again in 2024, is i think an issue that will resolve mostly around his popularity and his health. lawrence: that is perfect segue because not a lot people concerned about covid stuff but when it comes@running for office. it seems to be big problem for democrat i want you to listen to this sound this one from dean phillips representative from minnesota, this is what he had to say about the president. watch. >> okay. no, i don't, i think the country would be well served by a new generation of compelling well prepared dynamic democrats, to step up i'm part of a caucus here in congress where three top lead reverse over 80 years old where the president will be over 80 in the next election. and i think it is time for a generational change. lawrence: so he's he's first democrat to come out to say it but i'm curious what

. >>> joining me now, brandon buck, former senior advisor to house speakers john boehner and paul ryan kimberly atkins. brandon, there have been a lot of big revelations from this committee. the republican base according to polling still seems to be sticking with president trump. maybe they're reaching independent voters. all the witnesses pretty much have been republican insiders . how do you see this affecting the overall framework of president trump versus some other aspect of authority? >> let's assume donald trump is running for reelection. i think we have to assume that. absolutely this is hurting him. this is hurting him with independent voters. this is making people really question whether this is somebody who can win. i don't think it's hurting him enough that he's not going to be the nominee in 2024. he is coming to washington this week, giving a speech at his foundation. all of the republican big names are going to be there. no one is running away from him. polls have shown that republican voters are not leaving him. that means republican leaders are not leaving him. if he g

. >>> paul ryan sobbing as he watched the capital riot unfold on tv.said he never thought trump's grievances would result in the violence. that is part of his forthcoming book thank you for your servitude. a copy of which obtained by cnn. in it he writes something snapped in him, noting i spent my whole adult life in that building. it really disturbed me foundational. he is kept a low profile since leaving congress in 2019. >>> what president biden could do next to preserve abortion access. plus, flames right now threatening some ancient american treasures. and the protesters who dared to take a dip in the presidential swimming pool. only at vanguard, you're more than just an investor you're an owner. that means that your goals are ours too. and vanguard retirement tools and advice can help you get there. that's the value of ownership. dad, when is the future? um, oh wow. um, the future is, uh, what's ahead of us. i don't get it. yeah. maybe this will help. so now we're in the present. and now... we're in the future. the all-electric chevy bolt euv wit

the far right did that to john boehner in and paul ryan when they worked with democrats in order to pass legislation, so that is a trend that i think is solvable and is more likely to have better outcomes than potentially a third party. but like i said i a third party is potentially doable. it's a logistical challenge at the national level in the united states, but i would love to see some more about what the longer term impacts are. so will heard former congressman. is there a future you used to be the future of the republican party. are you still the future? well, you don't have to be an elected office just to be the future right, but i'm elected future. so here's what i would say. it is unlikely that my political career is over. i'm 44 years old, but if the opportunity for me to serve my country presents itself again, then i'll evaluated. i've been lucky to serve it and an amazing job like in the it was awesome. my hometown of san antonio and all the communities in west and south, texas and if there isn't if there's an opportunity only evaluative. well, there was some reporting that t

kaarma's defense, team headed by paul ryan, that was outright excessive. >> was a man who is fearful. >> ryan laid out a basic narrative. markus kaarma, twice a victim of burglars, reasonably thought diren dede was another one. and dangerous. >> he thought he was dealing with drugs seeking type individuals that were erratic and who knows how they were going to respond. >> he told the jury that his client had reason to leave that diren dede was armed and ready to attack. >> because he felt his life was threatened by the movements, specifically, of mr. diren dede, he had to take the steps, unfortunately, to take his life. >> the danger of a burglars when there's a confrontation. they all want to escape. they will do whatever they can to get away. >> the defense said there was no debate over one central fact, diren dede went into that garage steel. on the stand, kaarma's lawyer got bobby to say that despite warnings, diren dede didn't see much wrong of grad shopping. >> he didn't feel it was a crime. >> you are warning him. you are telling him. it was reckless, dangerous, right? >> yeah.

. >> there is fascinating detail about the former speaker of the house, paul ryan, watching the riot.ouse. he had a very sort of complicated relationship with donald trump. he basically left congress in 25th -- 2018 after is dealing with this so much. i had to give him a few months ago and sort of looking back at what he had become and would happen on cheddar sixth. he said as watching it. i just found myself sobbing. and just breaking into tears. because, i knew these people, this must security detail. these are my own capitol police officers who protected me every day. and i just didn't know what happened. and they said, well, at some point i said speaker did anybody tears of complicity, guilt? you helped him get -- probably get his signature look to chip accomplishment, tax reform. but also you're sitting on the board of fox news. >> he's on the board of fox news. >> that is still true. i don't understand sorry when you say you are troubled by this as you were and as you are. but, come on, he didn't go there. he just want to talk about how he obviously reacted very emotionally. >>

. >>> a new book reveals former house speaker paul ryan was, quote, sobbing as he watched the capitolcount is from the journalist mark leibovitz. a copy of his book obtained by cnn. leibovitz reports ryan told him some he's not much of a crier but something snapped in him. i spent my whole adult life in the building, it disturbs me foundational he. ryan also saying he never thought trumps grievances would result result in the violence on genuine six. hope to see you tomorrow, monica picks up our coverage right now. >>> thanks for joining us. i'm monica cabrera in new york. the former president promised the january 6th rally would be wild. 24 hours from now, the committee investigating that deadly day plans to prove trumps invite was, quote, a siren call for extremists. not only that, the panel says it will show how trump allies encouraged or even communicated with these far right extremists. >> we will be connecting the dots between these groups, and those who were tryin

you have paul ryan, former speaker of the house, you know, getting a briefing on narcissistic personality disorder. and you have to wonder how many people sort of new what they were dealing with when they were dealing with donald trump? you mentioned the lafayette square park debacle in june 2020 when, you know, the peaceful demonstrators were cleared violently of the area, and president trump walked over to st. john's church to hold up a bible. milley, general milley went with him, regretted it, later apologized for having gone, especially in his fatigues. then the secretary of defense mark esper did an interesting thing. having heard this use of possible use of the insurrection act to mobilize the military against black lives matter demonstrators. mark esper announced publicly announced that there was no need to invoke the insurrection act. trump was furious. he was furious and he yelled at esper you are taking we might authorities. >> he would not be pushed around and the unabashedly shoved his statesman at trump was sitting at the resolute desk. this is what i said. understand, don't

there was a longtime ban on export oil that change legislatively in a deal between barack obama and paul ryanin 2015. do you look at these things and think the president has the power to do them? >> i will certainly not. it could not be any clearer that the president is on the precipice of invoking this emergency because he specifically is not getting what he wants out of congress. these sorts of actions as you mention probing the export of american oil creating new subsidies for the creation of green energy, are all something in the progress of congress to fund. silver president biden to be circumvented the right to do that himself would be a huge unprecedented step. paul: what about, quickly, the idea that president trump repurpose to funds to try to build his wall. took it from military construction i believe to do that. so, could biden repurpose the funds and get away with that? >> i mean generally i think president biden tries to avoid deciding president trump as has a precedent for whatever ambitious actions you want to take. i think it be very wise for him to do the same thing here. it

and it wasn't that long ago, jake, you remember this, when republicans like paul ryan talked a lot aboutnets and opportunity zones. this wasn't out of place inside the republican party. but now you have republican party for whom safety net is akin to socialism. compassion is akin to wokism. you can't effort anything like that without being almost ostracized from the party. that's the unfortunate part of all this. >> it is a cliche, but there are democrats and pro-abortion rights supporters who say that, and i think george carlin said something along the lines of republicans care about life up until the moment of birth. and then after that, you're on your own. >> the gap between the rhetoric and the reality is yawning, and we just saw a perfect example of it. a billion dollar surplus and they say maybe next year we might provide some of it to these women who we are going to put in terribly -- >> the task force. >> yeah, that we're going to put into a life threatening, life altering situation due to this 40-year campaign that we have been on to take away their choices. there are those who

. >> former speaker paul ryan watching the right. >> former speaker of the house, he had a complicatedip with donald trump. he basically lets congress 2018 , after you know, dealing with so much. i interviewed him a few months ago. he was sort of looking back at what had become. i was watching it and just found myself solving and breaking into tears. i knew these people. this is my security detail. these are my capitol police officers who protect me every day. i did not know what happened. were any of these tiers of complicity, guilt? you helped him get probably his signature legislation accomplished. but you're on the board of fox news. >> that is still true. >> i do not doubt the sincerity when you say your eyes troubled by this as you were and are, but come on. he did not want to go there. he just wanted to talk about, you know -- he obviously reacted very emotionally. >> that story, you know, it is one of the stories people tell when it makes them look good in some quarters. then, the question which he then followed up with, he does want to go there. that is actually self reflectiv

she you know leadership would come in a lot and then after i think it was probably like maybe 13 paul ryan with speaker and obama had everybody all the you know, mcconnell reed ryan and pelosi over. i can't remember they're at an impasse and you know the when the republicans lately last few times the republican speakers have just had a very hard time getting anything getting their caucus degree on anything and anything done. they've proven to be very ineffective and i talked to her as she's coming on. i was like do you just look at those guys and be like, these guys are a bunch of jokers. and what did you say? well, you know, she's so guarded and there was like the one time i got a good giggle and people see it's like just in there looking and i'm like right why it's just just well republican leaders also senators of either party. she has a lot of contempt for because the senate has its own rules. you can't roll them quite as easily as you can in the house and the senate has been you know, the the place where house passed legislation goes to die. did you so but it was interesting some of t

when trump was running, i was working under paul ryan's leadership when he was speaker of the house.out him even rising in the republican pact because he was going to do immense brand damage to the gop. that feels like a naive understatement because he's done incredible damage to the entire country. but to republicans, it's long-standing, sustained damage. and john wood here is an exemplar of what happens because of that. you've got lifelong republicans running as independents. i know in the last segment we joked about numbers. i want to bring numbers into this though. it doesn't matter that these hearings are not winning over the mega-maga cohort. that was never going to happen. we were never going to dissuade that 69% that believe the election was stolen, that it wasn't. what happens is what happens with independent voters in this country. 50% of americans do not consider themselves to be democrat or republicans. that's the highest the number has been in history. those are the people who are the majority makers. that is the pro-democracy coalition in this country. and they are brea

one of the things that sticks out the most, do you remember when nancy pelosi and paul ryan came togetherer the congressional baseball game shooting? i think those moments really speak to people because they are unexpected and also decent. most americans are somewhere in the middle. they are not too far to the left or right. we do like seeing those in unity. >> we will talk about all these fantastic stories of great americans coming up. let's talk about some of our heroes and our great americans that we celebrate. and joey, who is your favorite? the next brigadier general. some of you might know him as actor jimmy stewart. he served in world war ii and vietnam. he lost his son in vietnam. he served in the united states army and air corps for almost 40 years or 50 years. i can't remember the number off the top of my head. a real quick story. jimmy stewart was too skinny to join the army in world war ii. he went to the studio weightlifter and his job for movies and said i need to gain weight for a roll. he got 20 pounds on and instead of went to the movies he went to the office for world wa

paul ryan quoted in a new book, he was somebodying when he watched the tack on the u.s. capitol. do you see this playing out when it comes to former president trump and the election? >> when i'm out and about in tennessee, people regardless of whether they're democrat, republican, independent, they miss president donald trump. their pocketbook was a little bit fatter during that period of time. they had more money at the end of the month and economic policies times were good. they miss that. elizabeth: but the capitol riots are hanging him up, right? there is lot of weariness, worry about trump candidacy, right? >> there are three issues people are talking about, inflakes, inflation, inflation. elizabeth: senator blackburn, good to see you. come back soon. this, u.s. and british officials out with a new warning about china spying on u.s. and british citizens as new questions surface about china and hunter biden's shady business deals. and twitter slammed for censoring conservatives but not taking down a tweet encouraging harrassment of supreme court justices. we've got andy puzde

paul ryan said that an exception for women's health in the so-called abortion ban, he said it was an exception so wide you could drive a mack truck threat. so, these laws, they had plenty of time to drop them, they intentionally made these extremely narrow exceptions because they wanted, they thought that women would, quote, take advantage of these loopholes in order to get abortions. >> well, the flip side of this, which i think was demonstrated in a congressional hearing this week, is that the anti-abortion movement has been caught a little flat-footed about what's happened in the post-roe landscape. about what'we had a witness tet in the case of the ohio girl, that she did in fact qualify for the exceptions, in reality. not only thy, they didn't qualify that as an abortion because her health was at risk. it leads to an obvious question, okay, if you believe that for a ten year old, why not an 11 year old, why not a 12-year-old, went out a 13-year-old, when all cases of rape? i guess my question for you, are you surprised, a little bit, yes, you're right that they crafted these law

airline industry and corporate welfare recipient and the signing a mavis tax cut so sweet it made paul ryanst guy at thanksgiving dinner. the phenomenon was crystallized even further yesterday in washington, d.c. when donald trump and mike pence gave duelling speeches on america's future. now at one marriott trump painted a grim, fascism friendly picture of the nation, a similar sort of speech to his american carnage speech in 2017. >> our country is now a cesspool of crime. our streets are riddled with needles and soaked with the blood of innocent victims. they want to damage you in any form, but they really want to damage me so i can no longer go back to work for you. >> why not hide under your bed. >> at the other marriott you had pence praising trump. >> well, i will tell you that i couldn't be more proud of the record of the trump/pence administration so i don't know that our movement is that divided. i don't know that the president and i differ on issues, but we may differ on focus. >> okay. what? proud of the trump/pence administration even after the trump part of the trump/pence adm

host: paul ryan? caller: yes, ryan, i would vote for ryan. is not the strength that makes a president. it does make humble that makes a president. trump doesn't have any of that. his strength helps but he doesn't have humble. biden has humble, but he doesn't have strength. if 47 can have a combination of the two? that would help more than anything. caller: -- host: willie, good morning, you are next up. caller: can you hear me? listen, i'm sorry, can't stop this. yeah, i'm glad that you read the schedule there. because here is what is happening. host: you are fading in and out. you will have to improve your signal, can you do that? caller: can you hear me now? hello? host: go ahead. caller: i'm saying you've got a lot of saying they are republicans ok? that's not what they are. what we have going on, what we have going on, i [ringing] host: between the background noise and the fading in and out, give us a call again if ken. try to get through. try to see if you can situate your signal better. allen, arkansas, hello. caller: good morning. do y
