ryan: i thai actually -- whenever i drive around western wisconsin, as i have in the past years, i turn on minneapolis radio and i remember jason lewis back in those days. he was a shock jock. that was his job at the time. i've seen some of these comments and i obviously don't support those comments. but the jason lewis i know here, who is a congressman, is an extremely conscientious man, a very hardworking, very effective member of congress, who has been nothing but an exemplary congressman, who represents his constituents well. reporter: would an apology help? mr. ryan: i'll leave it to him. reporter: thank you, mr. speaker. when the house returns in september, there will be just 19 days before the midterm election. how confident are you right now in election security and the u.s. government's ability to protect itself from -- [inaudible] -- russian interference and do you think there needs to be more done by congress to protect the integrity of the elections? mr. ryan: i believe -- well, the appropriations process is something that's always ongoing. i do believe we have learned a gre

people were marrying and i find members of the roberts family, allen family, in western wisconsin, in illinois, in ohio. they're everywhere. some of these people have been free since the 1690s. so it's just -- but it was, it was a lot of digging. yeah, yeah. >> thank you, thank you. :: >> or was this. >> some of these families coming out of north carolina and virginia after the midterm and they lost the right to educate their children. it was a serious offense jenny african-american child. so on your 300 acres, third generation know all of a sudden the state says no. and that is a lot of money. but this is something that is complicated with a lot that has been written about very pro- schools and education and started a public school system pretty early. but almost immediately african-americans were banned for attending with the segregated study not only taxation without representation but without education which is really hard. to build her schools doing everything that we could as incredibly important one reason why they moved out of the south. >> did your research take you? >> oh ye

people were marrying and i find members of the roberts family, allen family, nor croft, western wisconsin and illinois and ohio, going -- they're everywhere. old, old names. some people have been free since then 16 90s so it's just did was just a lot of digging. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> i think you were next. >> did you -- i'm interested in the book they were doing in terms of having educating their kids. you said you mentioned hiring the justice of the peace to tutor his kids, but did the set up schools? dithey have plan ford higher education or was this -- were they trying to get the most done with the least possible. >> some of these were actually educational rights pioneers. some of these long, free families were coming out of north carolina and virginia, after the nat turner rebellion and lost the right to educate their children. it became a serious offense to teach any africa child how to read. so, you have been on your 300 acres since 1700, you're their generation, and you want to teach your children how to read and the state is saying, you cannot do that. so that becaus

i come from one of the largest agriculture producing districts in the nation throughout western wisconsin, one of the biggest dairy producers in the nation. i hear from farmers everyday and manufacturers in & the concern consumers are raising right now too, so this isn't much new news that we're getting here with your testimony. it's consistent if that brings you any comfort. but i think the president's under appreciating what the impact has been. the pr war he's losing terribly back home in my state in wisconsin. let me read a few media headlines of late. trump's tariffs, wisconsin manufacturers hit by trade policy. discuss plight with senator ron johnson. trump's global trade war expected town flick economic casualties across the nation. wisconsin construction seeing cost increases following steel and lumber tariffs. wisconsin cheese makers facing double whammy. other costs raise home building prices. harley davidson stung by tariffs. shipping production over seas. an article about how trump responded in wisconsin. and on and on and on. and so you're wondering where do we go from here?

zided the presidency in 2016 appear not mid-western workers in places where ichlt, western pennsylvania and ohio and wisconsin and michigan then i almost feel sorry for you because that's a derangement if you can't come to terms with what happened. it was voters who twice voted for barack obama who flipped and decided to vote for donald trump. it was not because of russians. it was not because the vote was. >> there were many frustrated voters certainly and had a leonard for wanting change in washington. and desperately they cast a vote for donald trump. that doesn't mean there was no russia interference. and it does not mean the president didn't nurnl it, didn't perhaps play a role. >> there you go. you're conflating -- >> why can't the president agree that there was meddling. >> sure. >> and also that he he was voted into office by a very strong base of support. >> exactly right. >> he can't seem to get past hildeman. >> it's a mistake when the media and cht does it condeflating the the two things. skt russia tried to interfere in the elections among many nations by the way but of course they did. >> well k

rural areas of the country and the working-class parts of the country like our western pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsinople are saying that they want to have control of their own country. and we were talking about this earlier in terms of president trump's vision for kind of remaking and throwing the chess board up in the air and saying your pieces aren't necessarily where they've always been and you will have to get used to that. do you think that he is working to reorder our alliances with europe and with the u.k.? >> he certainly on nato today. what he said is pretty for a mike straightforward. previous american presidents have said this, but they've never actually meant it. the point about trump's when he says something he does mean it. donald trump is looking at reshaping the world in many ways and he's being rather successful with it. i think this visit could turn out for mrs. mae to be very embarrassing indeed. one of the worst thing she's done, she's made a trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k., now virtually impossible. her brexit deal affects not just our democracy but american interests a

wisconsin. just 31% say he should be re-elected. and 63% say he shouldn't. in other mid western states, similar numbers. most farmers in this region supportive still, but worried. like mark recker, who grows sand s and soybeans. >> farmers have been willing to give the president latitude, but now it's hitting close to home. the reality is here. lower prices. we're going into the fall with a larger crop, it looks like, and we're going to have questions about, how are we -- what are our opportunities for profitability coming from now? >> reporter: the president tweeted famously back in march, "trade wars are good and easy to win." but they're not. so to shorep the farmers, the trump administration has announced a $12 billion bailout, but don't call it a bailout. steve mnuchin hates that word. >> we're not bailing out any farmers. that's a ridiculous comment. that's not a bailout. >> reporter: whatever you call it, farmers aren't happy. >> as farmers, i can tell you, we would rather get our income from the market. it's a handout that we really don't want. >> reporter: today, the pr

western democracy in the world that doesn't have a centralized election hub. it's not just that we have 51 different jurisdictions operating elections. the state ofhat, wisconsinas hundreds of administrators responsible for all of this. there is a strength and a weakness in that. all of those disparate symptoms -- systems mean that someone who is trying to hack in doesn't have one place, they have got to ,e present in 3000 places especially when the machines are not connected to the internet. the weakness is you don't have the same standard's state-by-state. you don't have training budgets. you don't have a lot of infrastructure for cyber security. one of the things that eric mentioned was this notion of people getting top-secret clearances. people in the secretary of state office getting top-secret clearances at the federal level, they have never had to do that before. it's a fascinating juxtaposition between the uniqueness of our system, the strength that it brings in diffusing power and the weakness that that sort of inherently provides the system. host: thank you very much. please come back again. nice to see you again.

only western democracy that does not have a centralized election hub. 51is not just that we have different aeries of jurisdictions offering elections in 50 states and washington, d.c.. of wisconsin has hundreds of election administrators responsible for all of this. there is a strength and a weakness. the strength is all of systems mean somebody trying to hack in does not have one place to hack in. they have to be present in 3000 places, especially when the machines are not connected to the internet. the weaknesses you do not have the same standard state-by-state. you do not have training budgets so you do not have infrastructure for cyber security. one of the things eric mentioned was this notion of top-secret clearances. people in the secretary of state's office getting top-secret clearances at the federal level. how to they do it, who gets it, these rules have yet to be written. it is a juxtaposition between ,he uniqueness of our system the strength that it brings, and the weakness. susan: thank you very much. nice to have you this week. again.come back the u.s. house will gavel in in about 10 minutes for general speeches. legislative work will start at 2:00 eastern. 20 bills

western europe. i'm achieving many of my big goals. >> a lot still needs to be fact checked. if there was firm commitments to increase spending. wisconsin is calling to tell president trump that ronald reagan did win there and other things ag well. a remarkable morning in europe. >> it really has been, great to have you on the ground getting the instantaneous reaction there. how is it playing back here at home? how are lawmakering feeling about what they're witnessing? the u.s. senate also trying to block president trump's policy twice now in the past two days. we will talk about that when we have mike brown here next. right now, save $300 on our hp 2-in-1 laptop bundle at office depot officemax looking for a hotel that fits... whoooo. ...your budget? tripadvisor now searches over... ...200 sites to find you the... ...hotel you want at the lowest price. grazi, gino! find a price that fits. tripadvisor.

wisconsin. this is a way to answer western for folks across the country, if we can have bold, new ideas on how toctually make sure folks have that opportunity. i think, from pulling i have seen in 2018, a lot of folks want to see a check on donald trump. they think he has gone too far. they want that chapter there are 10 states where democrats have seats, but trump won their states. ofhink bill nelson is one them. a lot of those swing voters are donald trump goes to far sometimes. so they want to see bill nelson or heidi heitkamp stay because they can be a check on his most extreme influences. hopefully, that is what we will see in 2018. and in 2020, democrats need to offer something new and future oriented that they can combat donald trump with. host: in matters of health care, your pull looked at the current state of the aca versus single-payer. what did you find? ofst: we found the idea expanding and completing the aca, expanding coverage, tested above single-payer by seven points. it also tested above single-payer among a bigger margin by democrats, which surprised me. it was by nine points a

western democracy in the world that doesn't have a centralized election hub. not just that we have 51 different jurisdictions operating their elections, 50 states and d.c., even beyond that. the state of wisconsinas literally hundreds of election officials responsible for this. there is strength and weakness in that. the strength is that all those different systems mean that somebody trying to hack in doesn't have one place to go hack and change all the numbers. they have to be present in 3000 places, especially when these machines are not connected to the internet. you don't have the same standards is the weakness, state-by-state. you don't have training budgets, so you don't have a lot of infrastructure for cyber security. one of the things eric mentioned, this notion of people getting top-secret clearances, people in the secretary of state's offices getting top-secret clearances at the federal level. they never had to do that before. all these roles have yet to be written. it's a juxtaposition between the uniqueness of our system, the strength that it brings in diffusing power, but the weakness it inherently provides. susan: thank you very much. please come back. nice to have the this week,

than 40% of voters on average and a working majority in those key western states we need to learn how to win back whether michigan or wisconsin or pennsylvania or ohio they approve of what he is doing so we have to take a step back. fact democrats are at his store close of representation in the statehouse endingpr congress and local governments all over the country to recognize those local leaders and mayors and county executive executives. i would have to mention those county executives and those who are successfully leading innovative and effective governments and ask how we can start winning again. i argue one of the biggest reasons has nothing to do with policy. because frankly if you just talk about what is long-established policy on healthcare and taxes and energy and the environmentnd broadly speaking the general public agrees with us that we are not breaking through because they don't hear us. whether we like it or not millions of americans including those the most try to win over to trust us again view the party is condescending and detached from the real struggles they f face and dismisses of their lives and traditi
