>> his name is ryan. >> you see ryan's face in the baby's?e jennifer from iowa and melissa from seattle, also became aware of ryan after our first "dateline" program on the case aired back in 2009. >> i thought that he was railroaded. >> she sent an e-mail to ryan saying how sorry she felt with him. he sent one back. soon they were talking on the phone. she came to cincinnati to visit right and stayed at his mother's house. >> i thought it was a little awkward, because we had talked on the phone but hadn't met. he was telling me how much he loved sarah and could never love another woman as much as he loved her. i started crying because i felt so bad for him. >> sarah went back to new york and three weeks later returned to cincinnati as ryan's guest at his mother's thanksgiving dinner. that was the weekend they became intimate. >> the first time we were together i got pregnant. >> how did ryan take the news? >> shocked, obviously very bad timing. >> they kept the pregnancy a secret, as ryan's second trial would take place the following may. >>

ryan: sorry. reporter: there rass haas been criticism of the senate sexual harassment bill from both the house and outside, it doesn't go far enough to establish personal liability. mr. ryan: like the house version. we passed our bill and we're going to have to go and reconcile these differences between the house and senate. reporter: are you comfortable with the current zero tolerance policy for parents and children being separated at the border? mr. ryan: i'm not. i do think this ought to be addressed. we believe it should be addressed in immigration legislation. what's happening at the border and the separation of parents and their children is because of a court ruling, that's why i think legislation is necessary. reporter: on that point, this is actually policy change from the trump administration for zero tolerance. mr. ryan: there is also a court ruling involved. this is something we think -- reporter: some say this is inhumane, do you agree? mr. ryan: we don't want kids to be separated from

ryan: wasn't that mike pence's bill? reporter: i think it was. mr. ryan: i still support it. that's what your question was. reporter: him and jim jordan have reintroduced this bill. mr. ryan: i haven't changed my position. my position has not changed. 'm still for it. who are you? reporter: the daily. are you confident with giving all the ethics violations. mr. ryan: i would reyou to the authorizing committee that oversees the e.p.a. i'm glad regulatory position they have taken. i don't know enough about what pruitt has or has not done to give you a good comment. reporter: question on opioids. multiyear at this pont. we heard talk in the 2016 campaign. are the 50 bills the solution? what's your view in terms of what congress' role is and what should be done to address the federal government side something that has become a epidemic -- mr. ryan: what we're trying to do is get on top of this problem. this problem crept up on america very fast. we started with cara, comprehensive addiction recovery act. then we financed cara. that is now passed into law and being financed. what'

speaker ryan: no. reporter: you say process. what has changed between the ent timeto the room and right now? lking to each he the peopleigned discharge thconference are t edge having very productive conversations with each other on how to agree on a common piece of legislation. and what we all agreed is the four pillars is a really good point to rally around. the four pillars, rank and file republicans, in and out of this conference think that's plausible, thinks it makes sense. we don't have disagreement on those four pilla at we' doing is reaching consensus how to address those four pillars. reer: following this meeting, how confident are you, reaching 218 to get that le discharge petition? you are only three away. speaker ryan: the best we can do is make sure that we exhaust therges the house of coming blican conference to bring a bill to the floor that everne can support. again, let me say one more time. a discharge petition will result in no law. this effort to get our members to come to a common ground is the best chanceth

i started on paul ryan way back in healthcare.d see it and everybody was supposed to vote on it. he had 7 years to fix that one up. that's why i said the guy has got to go. he's a lame duck leader. he can't get anything done in the house. we have the majority in the house. what's going on? lou: it becomes more urgent when you realize there is nothing in the house leadership, the president is talking about working with dems, and mcconnell, i have no idea what he's doing. but they are all assuming they are going to have to work with dems instead of run on their agenda. the trump agenda won for him. it's a remarkable and historic performance of the first years inch he has been in office. why not run on the trump agenda and kick the dimms' tails? judge jeanine: you are so right. we know they are about obstruction and resistance flips nothing you will get them to cross over on. so the president says to the democrats, you would think, i'm going to keep families together. i know the president, this is a president who believes in families

paul ryan displaying indefensible support of the establishment whose boots he loves to lick. the lame duke speaker defies reason and decency as he did so and lining up with gowdy saying there is no evidence of a spy in the trump campaign and playing toady to the open border globalist and he chose to pour syrup and he will deliver on kstreet and wall street street and insuring open borders and amnesty for illegal immigrants. >> our members are earnest and sincere and trying to understand each other's perspective and we have a big swathe of views. i believe there is a sweet spot here. >> lou: how long will the republicans put up with the lame duck and how long will the republicans put up with him. and shocking new details of f.b.i. corruption and deep state depravity and leak the details of the inspector general's report. and james comey as out of control and insubordinate. the first stallment that reveals all that is rotten in the justice department and f.b.i. lying and leaking deputy director andrew mccabe begging for immunity before he will testify on capitol hill. will the

the president, paul ryan again going to a vote tomorrow. and holding up the idea in front of everyone who will pay any attention to this lame duck that he was willing to trade our national security for amnesty for millions and millions of immigrants, making him look like a damn fool, making us look like >> yet again paul ryan hashim. proved to the world that the gop establishment, and especially the leadership, cannot be trusted. in the prior block you nailed it, lou. this isn't just about immigration. this is about national security. the people coming across those borders aren't just children and innocent people. they are ka coyotes weapons smuggling, drugs. it's a national security imperative. and the idea that he's going to sell us down the river just to make him and his friends look good at the next cocktail party in georgetown, paul ryan should be ashamed of hymn. lou: great to have you with us. good to see you >>> be sure to vote in the poll tonight. the question is, does the supreme court travel ban decision convincingly demonstrate

we will hear from speaker of the house paul ryan any moment now. of course, that comes on the hills of president trump speaking to the house republican conference last night, going into that meeting, many lawmakers wanting to hear a very explicit endorsement by president trump of one of the house bills that is a broader immigration package that also includes an addressing of the separation issue at the border. coming out of that meeting, many lawmakers were confused and not clear exactly what president trump supports and the white house says he will indeed support this compromise measure and the feeling certainly was that he wasn't explicit enough to get those essentially over the finish line. lawmakers here and house republicans and coming out of the meeting, many say we don't have the votes for this compromised measure they may be voting on as soon as tomorrow. so this boils down that you have a lot of movement on capitol hill and a flurry of activity and essentially there is not a proposal that will pass that addresses this problem. so what will

paul ryan has never said any of these things. sessions two years later hasn't prosecuted any of them. this is the cull mie nation of the deep state. it's astonishing these things could go on. two years later they arrest the guy's broth and charge him with bank fraud when they catch him at the airport with 9,000 dollars in cash. right now it appears that the m thes want this to go away. lou: it appears that the republicans want it to go away as well. sidney, let me ask you. what in the world could be the motivation not to move on these obviously these threats to national security and very bad actors? >> i can't imagine, lou. there's absolutely no excuse for it. on top of that you've got the fbi and the department of justice hiding 675,000 clinton e-mail, the entire file that the fbi found on her computer back inctober, before the election in november, and they're hiding all of that. they didn't look at houma's e-mails even though they knew she was a proxy for hillary. they didn't look at what comey called the golden e-mails, the b

speaker ryan: we hit the six-month milestone after tax reform. i'm sure that's what you're reporting on these days. i just want to say just how far we've come in a brief period of time. wages are rising. unemployment remains low. people are feeling confident again. it is just what the majority leader said. the kind of economic turn-around we have seen since tax reform exceeded our expectations and we've been working on this issue for decades. after tax reform, our top priority was to rebuild our military. one of the chief architects of rebuilding our military is chairwoman kay granger. we needed to address a very serious readiness crisis in this country that was costing us american lives. we were able to secure the biggest funding increase in defense spending in 15 years with this defense funding bill. we are putting these promises into action. we are starting a new era for our military. this bill invests in training, it invests in equipment, it provides funding for modern systems so our military is best equipped for the challenges we face in 21s

that's how they drove ryan out, the threat of that. and then you have a vote, a mandatory vote, 218 -- lou: you said ryan. you meant boehner. >> boehner. i mixed them up today. lou: they're very much alike. hand picked. you would think they're synonymous and they are. >> republicans have to understand. they are in a war, a war like i've never seen. they can' can hold the congressd expand only if they have leadership and have someone that can lead them. lou: and affix themselves to president trump and his agenda. >> absolutely. lou: this is the reason they did as well as they did yesterday. it's the reason they can win and expand the number of seats rather than lose them, which is the historical imperative for the party in power in midterm elections. they can reverse that. >> and every single senate candidate, including rosendale run in the key senate races are pledging support to the president. i think we're going to pick up a couple of seats in the senate. we can certainly lose the house, we don't have strong leadership. lou: what do

speaker paul ryan more than sold out. she shamelessly politically corrupt, public cli urging the rhinos and dems to dump their. tition to join together, hold hands and allow him to declare he's come up with a comprehensive solution crafting new immigration legislation. ryan will give rhinos and dems exactly what corporate masters have demanded all along, amnesty for illegal immigrants. >> when we had tough thorny issues, we have long conferences, people come and they express their views. you actually find there's more consensus than not and that help us legislate. a lot of the members are appreciative of the fact that we have the right kind of conversations happening. lou: what you've just heard, of course, is an abject lie. the ryan-led house of representatives hasn't had regular order nor debate, thoughtful long debate on any issue, let alone immigration. and tonight how the politically corrupt leadership on capitol hill is driving the crisis at the southern border. jessica vaughn from the center of immigration studies

lou: "saving private ryan" ohsp. and ryan rinos. the democrats will have a fieldday. i think there are at least 60 or 70. unless they wrap around president trump's agenda. two have years of great leadership, they won't do well. lou: what do you think that the president is on board with both of these bills ryan will put up for a vote. they are amnesty bills next week. ed: i think it's outrageous the president does that. he has been misled by his staff. no one has seen these bills. i think if the president signs on web's been mislead by his own team it's not what he ran on and stood for in the campaign. lou: the great enemy in this country is fake news. but there is so much of it surrounding the white house, we don't know if he'll promise a veto to promised support of a disastrous piece of legislation. ed: anything drafted in the speaker's office behind closed doors won't be a good bill. lou: what is it "the washington post" says, democracy dies in darkness. capitol hill could use some illumination. ed rollins, thanks so much. appreciate it. be sure to vote in our poll.

paul ryan talking about tariffs.king about pardons and there at the top after a question from our manu raju talking about, yeah, really, poppy, the president's allegation. the president has said that the obama administration placed a trey gowdy put some big holes in that theory after getting a classified briefing from law enforcement officials and paul ryan, this is big and he's siding with him and saying there's no evidence to the contrary of gowdy's initial assessment after that may 24th -- that may 24th briefing. here he felt compelled to basically say that this is, you know, it doesn't -- >> to be compelled to say in so many words brian a from the republican house speaker, mr. president, you're wrong and the president who has been on this, you know, campaign to assert that there were spies inserted in his campaign. trey gowdy went on fox news last week and we'll review exactly what he said about the president's claims, quote, i'm even more convinced that the fbi did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them

all this as paul ryan pushes for amnesty for illegal immigrants. he said he'll hold votes on two daca bills that will create an electoral disaster for republicans in november. >> this ant to b our caucus together on immigration. we have an actual chance in making law in solving this problem. lou: making law and doing it the ryan way. he hasn't shown anybody the text. this lon is being written in back rooms in the dark of night. my next guest joins me top discuss the severe abyss that awaits members of congress who sign on to the ryan ploy for the establishment and the rinos, all who will embrace his ryan first putting america -- somewhere around last. joining us tonight is republican congressman andy biggs of arizona. the president with a great showing again in the primaries. it should be clear to everyone except for your leadership here in the house and the senate than if they do not support this president and his agenda, electoral disaster awaits the entire republican conference. what do you think? >> i think this is trump's time. and i thinkt's

it is the ryan legislation. involved in this thing other than the hand picked leadership for ryan. there is no participation for the rank and file even though the phony acted like it had broad spop pop support. nammesty for three hadn'5 million daca recipients. there is no actual numbical qualification. and fails to fully fund the border wall. and doesn't end chain migration. and sets limits, that are only general leap and ambiggously described. and stou here you go. another ryan special and that ryan special will be served up to destroy the republican party to destroy the republican party in the midterms. the republicans stand to lose 50 seats if they put up with ryan much longer. >> and bust of fentynol was busted. it is estmaefted to kill people. and mr. ryan, leave the border open, because there is a lot of americans, you apparently deserve to die to have their lives destroyed. tell us how you are a big bad opens guy. they seized 6000 pounds of narcotics in a typical day throughout the year. and yet speaker

we expect that paul ryan, we expect that paul ryan will get some questions from the capitol hill press corps that has gathered in that room. we will bring those to you the second that it happens. while we wait, let me bring in the national political report forte washington post and on set our panel shawna thomas along with national political reporter for bloomberg news alleg. apologies for interrupting when paul ryan comes on for questions. what does paul ryan need to say here? will will he come out forcefully on this topic? >> his comments at the started of his news conference are revealing most congressional -- >> bob's mike we're going to get fixed. the second we get your mike fixed we'll come back to you. glad you guys are here. pick it up. >> the issue that we are seeing right now is that the republicans now and we saw paul ryan try to shift over to tax cuts. >> tax cuts, right. >> and the economy. and the economy is doing well and you can try to give the republicans their due for that. that's what they want to talk about. they are in a bunch of congressional fights that are only

speaker ryan: you just did. reporter: can you talk about, we're awaiting the results of the immigration package in the house, but in the meantime can you talk about this issue emotionally, your own response? and should the white house have put this policy on pause while congress works this out, especially for small children like 2 years old. speaker ryan: let's make it clear, we don't think families should be separated. we've seen the videos, heard the audio. when we were working on this bill we saw the court ruling was wrong and we put this fix in the bill to begin with. this court ruling gobacks to 2008. and the law should not have our government choose between enforcing our borders and forcing our -- enforcing our las, securing our borders and keeping families together. that's a ridiculous choice. tomorrow we'll have a vote on legislation that makes sure that we can enforce our laws and keep families together. it's about custody, d.o.j. versus d.h.s. a lot of you cover this issue and know that. we're saying s

speaker ryan: you heard some stories here today. let me give you a number. 115. 115 lives lost every day in america. addiction can feel all-consuming. it can seem impossible to live out your true purpose. but it does not lower the inherent value of a human life. every life has meaning and no drug can take that away. all of us can offer our compassion to one another so people struggling feel they have a place to turn. that is also something we are taling here da look, this is michelle viscolski, that's a good wisconsin name. this is her and one of her sons, she has two sons. former high school athletes. they became addicted to prescription painkillers from injuries and then later heroin. they are alive. they are clean now. but it was a long road there, and michelle still worries because you all know, sobriety, it's very fragile. friends and relatives facing addiction don't fully recover. it takes a long time. one thing that strikes me about how she describes dealing with her son's addiction, it's the pervasive loneliness. she says sh

what is going on with paul ryan?ink what the polling shows in the nbc/"wall street journal" poll shows, paul ryan is between a rock and a hard place. obviously that rock is donald trump, and the stranglehold he has on republican base voters, who paul ryan and the rest of the republican party are desperate to ensure they turn out for a republican congress that is not that popular. and the hard place is independent voters, obviously democrats, but really a strong majority of independent voters who would like the -- who are basically tired of the insanity that we're dealing with every day from donald trump and want a check on it and want a check on it by a very strong margin. and i think that's really the basic problem for paul ryan, who has demonstrated no conviction, obviously did basically a 180 within the course of a day because i'm sure someone at the white house explained that the president had some disfavor about what he said. and so he came up with this statement, which is absolutely patently false. it is -- jen

another ryan special. and that ryan special will be, well, will be served up to destroy the republican party in the midterms. i said last night on this broadcast the republicans stand to lose 50 seats if they put up with ryan much longer. a massive bust to have deadly drug fentanyl seized i seized io miami valley. 20 pounds to have drug is enough to kill an estimated 4 million people. four men, all of them from mexico were arrested on mug ling charges. mr. ryan, i would like for you to leave the border open. there are a lot of americans you apparently think deserve to die to meet addiction and to have their lives destroyed. you keep telling us how you're a big bad open borders guy. according to the border patrol, they seized nearly 6,000 pounds of narcotics on a typical day throughout the year of 2017. and yet speaker ryan is perfectly con dent to allow millions of american to die as collateral damage in their pursuit of open borders and amnesty for ill liam immigrants. the hell with the american people. j

ryan and christine. >>> thank you. breaking overnight. the white house will push forward with the plan to shrink the size of the federal government by merging the labor and education departments. the centerpiece the proposal to make washington function for effectively. the plan calls for streamlining the way for low-income americans. an area conservatives have railed against. no word on job cuts. the education and labor department would need congressional approval. that means making a merger of the agency a long shot. >>> peter fonda is apologizing for a tweet which targeted the youngest son of the president b barron. the tweet said we should rip r barron trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage. secret service has been notified. fonda says the tweet was inappropriate and he went way too far in voicing anger over the trump administration. >>> two major political players pledging time and resources to try and flip the house to democrats in november. steve schmidt, a top gop strategist is urging americans to vo

paul ryan didn't say what he meant to say. really remarkable. no matter how many times this is disproven by how many people the president will repeat the same lie after lie after lie. there was no evidence. there was no supply planted on the campaign. maybe you should talk to trey gowdy, who apparently saw the documents and got the briefing. i would also say, his continual claim of no collusion, no collusion is also false. we know for example about george papadopoulos reaching out to a russian source to get dirt on hilly. we know about the trump tower meeting in june of 2016 which they're promised dirt on hillary and they a foreign power information, something of value to help you win an election, yes, we have evidence of that already. the question is how extensive it was and who all was involved in it. >> jennifer just laid out all the points, neera. why is paul ryan, somebody who is retiring in january -- why would he stake his reputation going out and saying something like there's been no evidence whatever of any collusion.
