a world familiar to ryan. but money can't buy you love. >> he was in the rebound state still. >> reporter: it was a few months after ryan and long-time girlfriend lauren worley had broken up. she didn't know shayna, but her old roommate, emmy reinle, did. do you think that she was just a gold digger thinking, you know what, ryan's my ticket to a good life? >> actually, yes. i'm going to get me a doctor or a lawyer. that's who she wanted to date. >> reporter: but as time went on, it wasn't clear if ryan and shayna actually were dating. >> i don't know if he would tell you they were in a relationship. >> reporter: ryan's friends say he lost interest rather quickly and tried to end things with shayna, but she refused. how can he allow her to decide whether they're going to break up or not? >> he just wasn't able to. he was too nice. didn't want to hurt her feelings. >> he did feel duty bound to let her down easy. >> reporter: so easy, the off for more than a year, with ryan and shayna chronicling it all to friend

and i loved ryan. i still love ryan. he's my lover in the clouds. what? he was challenged by a team of lumberjacks. let's do this. he would drive them to hard knocks canyon, where he would risk broken legs, losing limbs, and slipping and dying. not helping. but death would have to wait. james left with newfound knowledge, a man's gratitude, and his shirt. how far will you take the all-new rav4 hybrid? toyota. let's go places. lowe's oanyone can haveee a beautiful garden. finally, something in this yard as beautiful as me. enjoy. now get perennials, 3 for $10, at lowe's. your body is a finely tuned instrument. diarrhea can throw it out of rhythm. imodium multi symptom relief combines two powerful ingredients to relieve diarrhea faster and ease gas, cramps and bloating. restore rhythm with imodium. tso when we had him, we bought one of those he washing machines and ease gas, cramps and bloating. but it took forever turns out it wasn't the machine, it was our detergent. so we switched to tide turbo clean and now we get way cleaner clothes way faster make a m

this speaker ryan. do you expect it to be a definitive statement to lay to rest any potential for paul ryan swooping in and taking the gop nomination? >> i think speaker ryan made very clear multiple times already. i think this will be the 18th or 19th time he said he's got no intention of running. he wants to be at the forefront of setting the policy and talk about republican policies, why the republican party, why the conservative movement provides the best solution to america and continue to rule out running for president and i think that echoes something that we firmly believe one of the three candidates is going to be the nominee and so it helps to sort of undermine some of this speculation that's continuing to swirl no matter how many times he says it himself. >> so sean, did you at the rnc encourage speaker ryan to make a statement like this or did speaker ryan come to you and say, i need to say this and help unify our party behind the eventual nominee that's one of the three remaining candidates

who else besides ryan? i don't know if this does anything besides maybe giving him a little space between now and kplooeflcleveland. >> it's a nice thing to be said about you, and if he so much as allows a slip of paper through his verbiage, there will be especially republicans who see him somewhere between a dark horse and a white knight. chuck, i keep looking at the capitol dome, which is kind of a constant over the shoulder of so many of the live interviews we do for newsmakers from capitol hill. that scaffolding is supposed to be down -- >> it looks nice. >> it's looking better, i'll put it that way. the skaf folding is supposed to be down by the time our next president puts his or her hand on the bible and takes the oath. looking at that. will they be sorted out or look any more boisterous. i don't think they care who is being elected, and half the country would be displeased at the outcome. it's going to present quite the challenge for the next president, whoever he or she is, because you'll have a mo

paul ryan is out. why couldn't he just send out a paper statement saying i'm not running period, full stop, stop talking about it, it's over? what's his angle? why have this press availability today? >> what we've seen throughout paul ryan throughout this entire process is he's gotten this question for six months. will you run? won't you run? and his whole strategy has been keep his name in the national political national political conversation to drive a positive agenda for the republican party. and -- >> so he's the cleanup guy. >> yeah. one way or the other, he wants to be the -- you know, he's going to be the person who'll be around in washington next january it there's a republican being sworn into the white house or not. and he's the one who's going to put forward a positive legislative agenda. from his perspective he needs to be a part of the conversation today one way or the other and a paper statement wouldn't keep him in that mix quite as much as he'd like to be. >> so under these possible sc

thank you. >> speaker ryan? a lot of people said hey, this is exactly what he said about becoming speaker and ended up taking the job. what are you saying to people who are skeptical of you and say you are going to back into the system -- >> luke, those are apples and oranges. being speaker of the house is a far cry from being president of the united states specifically because i was already in the house. i'm already a congressman. i was asked to take a responsibility within congress that i've already been serving in from the one they had. that is entirely different than getting the nomination for president of the united states by your party without running for the job. so completely non sequitur comparison in my book. >> so what happens if this goes to a second ballot since your in charge, and what happens, who prevents them, you, the chair as the convention from somebody putting your name -- >> il not allow my name. i am opposed to my name being put in place. the rules committee which is assembled by the deleg

, speaker ryan. a lot of people said this is what he said about becoming speaker. what do you say to people who continue to be skeptical of you? >> luke, those are apples and oranges. being speaker of the house is a far cry from being the president. i was always a congressman. i was asked to take a responsibility within congress that i've already been serving in. that is entirely different than getting the nomination for president of the united states by your party without even running for the job. so completely -- >> speaker ryan -- >> -- what happens if this goes to the second ballot and what happens -- the chair of the convention, adhering to the rule book put your name -- >> i will not allow my name. i am opposed to my name being put in place. look -- let me answer your second question. the rules committee will decide what the rules are, but i would encourage those delegates to put in place a rule that says you can only nomination someone who actually ran for the job. >> does that mean you think

paul ryan likes to say no. probably said no at first to the vice-presidential this will and win for that with mitt romney. so is it possible? yes. what it speaks to more is the republicans are searching for some way out. what do we do here. >> paul ryan's numbers are not great with the base anyway because once he got there, he went there because he was a tea party push. >> dan phifer, the former senior adviser to president obama that said a lot about the whole deal with paul ryan. he said wait nell trump supporters fine out the one being pushed is pro trade, when trump is antitrade, and paul ryan stands for the establishment issues and policy areas -- >> he is the establish. >> right, as the speaker now and even before the was the speaker as the budget chairman. and he stands for all these things that trump supporters hate. so, is this really the solution to bring the party together? >> ed, thank you. great to see you in new york. a lot more coming on at the democrats as well. i talk to a reporter covering the

if ryan won't do it, ryan won't bless it, hard for anybody else to come in. >> i think, right, i agree with everything you said. donald trump will either get to 1,237 or a mad dash to cut a deal. cruz could try to cut a deal with kasich to put him over the top. trump could try to cut a deal with either of those two guys. kasich may have enough delegates, we just heard trump about putting kasich on the ticket potentially. >> sometimes people leave like joe biden, no one did that. >> no one in this party. >> governor of wisconsin. >> scott walker. >> he left after 70 days. jeb bush, disaster, rick perry, disaster. none of them left on an upswing. it's these three guys. >> chris christie, who is an endorser of donald trump, which wouldn't work. >> finally, after all of this, paul ryan will serve as chairman of the republican party convention in cleveland this summer, and he still has, as he talked about today, his plans for presenting a vision as speaker of the house from now to election day, no matter who the republicans nominate. john, can paul ryan play those two roles as he said he wi

why's he so hot for this guy, for ryan? >> well, he loves ryan. because he views ryan as the intellectual future of the party. there is a working class, midwestern catholic connection that they both have. they're both sportsmen. boehner, golf. ryan, more hunting. although he does do some golf on the side. so there's a natural closeness there. but boehner from his position, he's retired. he's now finally free to say what he wants. as mike can tell you, the boehner rule was that he had to bite his tongue for the five years he was speaker here. you didn't get to say everything he wanted to say. he would love for his gop presidential nominee to be ryan. not someone like cruz, who he despises, and someone like trump, who he's told me personally, is not necessarily someone he understands the rise. this was back last year. i'm interested to see what he says now. >> did you catch boehner at the american ireland fund this year? he was rather open mouthed about his views -- >> and you know what paul ryan said to him? he said, knock it off. and paul ryan use

ryan won't do it. ryan won't bless it. very hard for anyone else to come in. everythingee with you just said. i think the reality is either donald will get to 1237 or there cut ae a mad dash to deal. trump could try to cut a deal with either one of those two guys. could have enough delegates to -- john kasich at have enough delegates to put trump over the top, so he could cut a deal with john kasich. no one -- what his name, the governor of wisconsin? scott walker left after 70 days. jeb bush, disaster. marco rubio, disaster. rick perry, disaster. john: and the only one who might have qualified was chris christie who has endorsed donald trump. paul ryan is the chairman of the republican party convention in cleveland this summer. about his plans for the country no matter who the republicans nominate. those twoyan play roles effectively? john: i think he will try to, but i don't think he will very effectively play them because what we know about presidential politics is that presidential politics will blot out the sun. mark: the only way i think he can do it, an

i think paul ryan knows the party is in pieces. he is talking about positive politics, talking about republican policies in very obvious ways trying to exert leadership and releasing videos which have led people to believe he is running for president but i believe he is doing it because he wants to save the republican party. he is trying to find the soul of what the next republican party will be and wouldn't run for president in today's republican party when he is such a young man and knows it is 12 years to figure things out at least. i don't think he wants to pick up the pieces of this mess and if he was named in cleveland he could lose his speakership and where would he be? i think he means it, you are right, in the party, beg him to consider this as john weiner and others begged him to be speaker, people basically told him there is nobody else and he did it in a way that he could still go home on the weekends and see his young kids who are growing up quickly, his father died when he was 16, he is very set on being a present fat

paul ryan just says no. the house speaker is ruling out a run for the presidency even if a contested gop convention turns to him as a possible savior to get majority support. >> i chose not to do this. therefore, i should not be considered. period. end of story. >> he said the possibility should be limited to people who put their hat into the ring as candidates this cycle. many experts see the possibility a donald trump or ted cruz. but ryan said he is officially out. >> quelling growing questions about his movements and motives, paul ryan ruled out a candidacy for president. >> we have too much work to do in the house. to allow this speculation to swirl or to have my motivations questioned. so let me be clear. i do not want, nor will i expect the nomination for our party. if no candidate has a majority in the first ballot, i believe he should only choose from a person who has actually participated in the primary. you count me out. >> a member of them greeted the news with gratitude that the wisconsin republ

paul ryan saidly not be a candidate for speaker. i believe i can best serve as the chairman of the ways and means and that was three weeks before he was nominated for speaker of the house. if nominated i will not run, if electedly not serve. >> that is what we can expect. i asked the speakers aides and advisers, he said no to the speakership, this is different. he was able to unite the republican conference. he said he would only run for speakership if all factions of the republican conference got behind him. there is no way that would happen now given howdy visive of a primary fight this this has been so far. they don't expect donald trump and ted cruz supporters to get behind them and he doesn't appear to want to be president ooet aer -- either. >> thank you so much. >>> errol lewis, it says something about the state of the campaign that it is big news when a guy who isn't running in the primaries is announcing he will not be a candidate at a convention if it is contested, which we don't know if it is yet, but it seems like a mome

part of paul ryan and his team. he has the house of representatives those seats at stake which he is wanting to make sure he maintains that majority in the house of representatives. >> ryan will be at the convention in cleveland this summer but that will be as xhair chairman not the nominee. >> he seems pretty adamant about this one. anna kooiman. >> was there a hidden message in ryan's speech. fox news contributor and columnist says speaker running for campaign is not for president. >> i think he broadcast what had to be said and i do think he is sincere. the part of the speech i found the most interesting was when he talked about what he was going to be doing in congress. that was ignored put together a policy agenda he denounced the personal rising of the presidential campaign. i think what he was doing in addition to pulling out of the race was to announce the firs step in the rebuilding of the party after the rubble of this election cycle. >> let's keep talking about paul ryan. is it time for the gop to focus o

much things paul ryan has done in the past which is why paul ryan wants nothing to do with this right now. >> thank you, manu. >>> doug hye was communications director for the republican committee. senior aide to eric canter. knows how this can happen better than anybody. you'd probably be happy with a paul ryan on the ticket. listen to what ted cruz said about what would happen if paul ryan indeed emerged from the convention as the nominee. >> this fevered pipe dream of washington that at the convention they will parachute in some white knight who will save the washington establi establishment. it is nothing less than a pipe dream. it ain't going to happen. if it did, the people would, quite rightly, revolt. >> is he right? the people would revolt? >> i think there are a million scenarios where people might revolt anyways. we're going to go into this probably very divided as a party and come out of it very divided. if you are a ted cruz supporter you're not likely to vote for donald trump on the third or fourth ballot. same thing if you are a trump delegate. it's part of why we find

after ryan, who else? about the only name i've been able to come up with that could unite multiple wings of the party is mike pence, the governor of indiana. >> ground swell. >> who could be an acceptable -- maybe mitch daniels. >> i think ryan's removal of himself from the scene, which i think was definitive and a smart move for him to do, actually ties into the other conversation that we'll be having. if it turns out that 1,237s actually the rule and despite the view of majority republican voters, that the person with the most should get the nomination, they could maybe live with somebody else who has fewer than trump getting the nomination, but they can't live with somebody who hasn't run. so i think this whole hunt for a white knight is a kind of red herring. >> did paul ryan provide the correct blueprint, which is hey, the nominee should be somebody who has run? doesn't mean actively running, but somebody who has run the cycle. i felt ryan was signalling, if you want somebody else, look to marco rubio

paul ryan is a great person. i support paul ryan. i asked paul if he was going to be a candidate for president. he said absolutely not. i think some day he will be president. but this year is not his time. so i think that if everybody wants a new face and an ability to get this country turned around, john kasich is that person. let's get behind the person that has shown he can do it, balance the budget, run the state, he's got the record. he's the person we should nominate. >> howard, your view about ryan, because i'm thinking that roger stone, you don't have to like the guy to know he's smart. and roger stone suggested -- >> that's right. >> it's either going to be trump on the first ballot or ryan on the fourth, and the last several days since he said that, i'm beginning to see the truth of that because i don't think this gossip involving all this chaos of trump and cruz and kasich is adding up to any clarity. your thinking? >> in talking to people across the spectrum, including our mutual buddy roger stone, my sense of it is that

ryan arcidiacono and jenkins and josh hart. ochefu, of course, who now played his last game along with ryan arcidiacono for villanova. it has been a good team over four years that got better each year. and this class of seniors have left their imprint on the villanova basketball legacy and lore and will never be forgotten. and these students will never forget it because they were here when it happened. they were at villanova whether it happened and i think jay wright would also say that they deserve a lot of the credit. that a lot of -- they this championship, the students themselves. and i guess they are pretty happy about it, look at it. are we now in kelly's tap room? we are looking outside from kelly's tap room. and is dann cuellar there? i saw the microphone and the hand holding the microphone. i think that is dann cuellar's hand. can we go to him? [indiscernible] >> we have some technical audio problems with dann's mic, or maybe it is just the crowd drowning out dann's mic. because that is the scene on lancaster avenue ri

ryan, diane? >> thank you, mary alice. >>> a top sanders' adviser says he still has a path to the nomination, but as we look at the math this morning, it will be quite an uphill battle. >> clinton won at least 169 new york delegates giving her an overall total of nearly 1900. that's compared to about 1,200 for sanders. donald trump picked up nearly all of new york's 95 republican delegates. denying ted cruz an opportunity to clinch the nomination before the convention. trump now has 845 delegates. cruz has 559, and john kasich is trailing with 147. >>> so the candidates are looking ahead to the next five races next tuesday. the front-runners are breathing a sigh of relief after a string of bruising losses. >> abc's rick klein tells us what it all means. good morning, rick. >> reporter: diane and ryan, new york, new york, home, sweet, home for both hillary clinton and donald trump. ♪ and find i'm king of the hill top of the heap ♪ ♪ with new york, what dreams are made of there's nothing you c

if ryan is out of the mix. if this is the scenario, you get to a second blot or something, does it now have to be cruz? >> it doesn't have to be cruz, no. this is the way i look at it. number one, i'm not sure that paul ryan -- i think you have to take him at face value. i do. he's an honest guy. i believe he does not want to be a candidate. it complicates his role as convention chairman and speaker of the house. i think he really does not want to do it. in a setting where you have almost a crisis and a decision that's got to be made, i'm not sure that they couldn't revisit that issue. but let's take it for granted that ryan is going to be out of it. if that's going to be the case, you have three candidates that are currently in it. it depends how john kasich does from here on in. if he goes to the convention, having won only one state, i think it's a hard sell. i think it's easier, in a way, for somebody who's not been contesting these primaries, listen, if i was in it, i would have won, i would have done this

cantor is out, ryan is speaker. he's taking advantage of a time when his name has been floated by both crews and trump and he's really making himself more relevant. this is politics. the chairman of the convention, there's no way the republican party brings him in. if they parachute him in as the quote savior of the republican party it will split it at the voter level. that will destroy a national party. you'll voters will simply not go out and vote. heather: rick, before i get to you i want to show a little bit of this ad released a couple days ago. look at this. >> what really bothers me the most about politics these days and this notion of identity politics. that we are going to win an election by dividing people rather than inspiring people on our common unanimity and are common ideals, our common culture and the things that should unify us. heather: pretty presidential, what do you think? >> this is going to be no fun at all because most of what david said i agree with. >> listen, he's in a nose lose position.

the establishment sees paul ryan as a white knight to it stop trump. he's in israel where the rumors are swirling and lays out a possibly scenario how ryan could end up on the top of the gop ticket. he has a prediction record and 60 percent chance of a convention dead lock and the delegates turn to ryan and ergo he will start chairman of the republican nom no and end as nominee. and how would primary voters react. here is the congressional correspo correspondent. susan what do you think really are the odds? >> it would be unpres depted and i really at this point, it is unlikely based on the things we heard from reince priebus he believes it will be one of the three running. for the republicans to go outside of the candidates that have been voted on would be unlikely but not impossible. >> what if it is it so fractured they turn to him? >> they could. and in fact i think they would like to turn to him. but repercussions would blow up the party. they are selecting someone that no one voted for and that is a bold dramatic step. kasich is a more likely opt

they are not fans of paul ryan and paul ryan knows that. he is too tainted with them with the issues of trade and immigration and viewed of the establishment often called rino. they're going to do a parallel campaign, don't want to be president and ryan will do everything in his power to say so today and people will still speculate because of what he's doing but the campaign style videos, these high lofty speeches, they're meant to be the parallel campaign. not the actual presidential campaign. we'll see how that plays out. >> indeed. at least they don't want to be president now because they don't think the nomination is as valuable as it might be four years down the road. so let's see what donald trump is doing. this is donald trump in albany last night, guys, and he seems to be seeing himself now as the general election candidate. >> hillary clinton does not have the judgment to be president. she doesn't have the judgment. believe me. she's being protected by the democrats which is a disgrace, but she's going to have to live with that whe

is this a paul ryan for president ad? paul ryan for president? election video spurs rumors. does this video prove paul ryan is an undercover candidate for president? if you looked at the news today, you saw headlines like this. and from those headlines you get the story. it's not a complicated thing. house speaker paul ryan has done some kind of video that gives the impression he's running for president. i get it. it's simple. you see headlines like this on mainstream news sources, on left-wing blogs, on right-wing blogs, and you kind of think, okay, i got the point, not even sure i need to see it. but, behold. for this news story of all things, there is a bit of a grand canyon effect. you actually do have to see it, because even if you do believe all these headlines and think you've absorbed this information and therefore you think you understand that paul ryan has done something that makes it seem he might be running for president, having that information, believing that information does not do it justice. you actually have to look at it. just, just look at it. what is thi

he said, who will it be cruz, trump or ryan? no matter what ryan says today, speculation will follow. david: absolutely. blake burman, thank you very much. if he is not running for president what is the speaker up to? here to weigh in, dan henninger, the deputy editor of "the wall street journal." dan, a very big pr effort for something. he took this tour of overseas. he has commercials running. what is all this about? >> i think what today is all about, david, is that paul ryan is trying very, very hard not to make himself a distraction in the presidential sweepstakes. try as he made people keep putting his name forward as speaker of the house which i understand he genuinely did not want to do, and for now the presidency. this race -- david: hold on a second, dan. because before, when he said he wasn't going to be speaker of the house he didn't come out with all the ads at the same time suggesting that he would be a perfect speaker of the house. now he says he doesn't want to be president but we have all these ads coming out he

the driver is nfl running back ryan moats. earlier that evening his wife tamisha gets an urgent phone call from a nurse telling them to come to the hospital. tamisha's mother, sick with cancer, is very close to death. >> get in there. get in there. let me see your hands. >> excuse me. my mom -- >> get in there. put your hands on the car. >> his mom is dying. >> officer robert powell gets out of his car, gun drawn, as tamisha moats tries to explain. >> my mom is dying. >> do you understand? >> as i turned around, he has a gun pointed at me. and just a cold look in his eyes. letting me know, i don't care. >> my mom is dying. >> do you understand? >> i was walking toward a cop, a hostile cop with a gun. >> what would you do in this situation? disobey a policeman with his gun drawn or stay and miss the only opportunity you'll have to say good-bye to your dying mother? for tamisha the decision is an easy one. >> get over here. >> along with her great aunt, she heads into the hospital. >> i know a lot of people think that what i did

ryan has a video. i get. it's simple. you see headlines like this, left lane blogs, right lane blogs, you think, okay, i got the point. not sure i need to see it. but behold, for this news story, of all things, there is a bit of a grand canyonesque. you actually do have to see it. because even if you believe all these headlines, if you have absorbed this information, so you therefore understand that paul ryan has done something that makes it seem like you may be running for president. having that information. believeing that information, does not do it justice. you actually have to look at it. just look at it. what is this? what is this for, if it is not someone running for president. not editing it in anyway, it's like 40-some seconds. stand on the rim of this and peer into this scenic of this. just watch this. >> what really bothers me the most in politics these days is this notion of identity politics, that we're going to win elections by dividing people, rather than inspiring people on our common i

main stream republicans has cast ryan as had antidote. and acceptable nominee which could satisfy all sides of the a dead locked nomination is neither ted cruz or donald trump clenches the nominate out right. >> if no candidate as a majority on the first ballot i believe you should choose from a person who has participated in the primary count me out. >> reporter: ryan aides said it would be impall for him to win over delegates. >> reporter: his words say no, but his political actions say maybe. evidence? a glossy video days ago a statesman like trip overseas and a history of public denials he's angling for higher office before accepting. first as mitt romney's running mate. >> not my plan, my plan is to be a good chairman of the house budget committee. >> reporter: then last fall, as speaker john boehner successor. >> who do think would be good? >> reporter: paul ryan will chair this summer's republican convention. meaning one way or another he'll take the stage in cleveland. >> thanks. talk of a contested convention notwithstanding, don

ryan's appearance certainly didn't help him offset his graph tas deficit. some might be forgiven for thinking the speaker appearing a triefl silly nld a the speaker seems always to be lacking a sense of proportion as yesterday when he rather transparent lie tried to boost the beleaguered chairman of the rnc. ryan's good pal reince priebus invited to capitol hill to brief house republicans on the delegate process. declaring that priebus has received, well, an extremely favorable warm reception by the house. ryan also adding he is so please that had someone like priebus is in charge of the rnc, making sure the rules are followed. you can only imagine donald trump's delight as he listens to such triep. all ryan accomplished was to leave everyone shaking their heads at his naivefivete and so might say his boldness and that he wasn't ready in any way for that job he didn't seek but now holds. mitch mcconnell trying meekly to walk back his anti-trump remarks saying he spoke, as he put it, inartfully. they talk like that in the senate, you know, when he said he wa

ryan: i will leave it up to the delegates. believe if you want to run for president, you are running and that people should only select people who are running. thank you. all right, everybody. you have been listening to speaker paul ryan who says he will not be putting his name in for president, so very interesting. megan murphy from our bloomberg washington bureau, there is firm, for sure? time.sting in more on what we heard from mr. ryan. here is mark crumpton. rol, thank you very much. house speaker paul ryan has said he does not want to be president of the united states. we just turned his life on bloomberg television. the speakers said, count me out. i do not want, nor will i accept, the republican nomination for president. that he is using the platform as speaker not for himself but for his house colleagues. he talked about in his words earning the mandate they need to govern. the speaker said that being's beloved house is a far cry from being president of the united states, and he continued, i will not allow my name to

ryan joins us with the details. this was a political mess going on for a couple days. ryan: it was. the prime minister before announces readiness to resign and yet we weren't able to get any kind of agreement on who would be the new prime minister. we now have that. his name is hroisman and for the last week or so, it's been pretty clear he was probably going to be the guy but there was a lot of horse trading going on at the level, who is going to get jobs in the various ministries. so a little bit of a break in the deadlock. the old prime minister and the president of ukraine, who you've interviewed, they didn't get along and that was an issue. now the new guy is an ally of the president so at least we have a little bit less political infighting. francine: does it mean they'll get easier access to aid? this is an economy on the brink and needs external help. ryan: this is perhaps the most important thing here is that this should unlock at least some aid. the i.m.f. promised $17.5 billion worth of aid to ukraine and they got a little bit of that money but then the i.m.f. said you ne

speaker ryan supports those numbers, yet they still support speaker ryan. it is a strange dynamic. it is not at all clear to me how it can actually work out once the robert it's the road. at a certain point, they will have to work out something and that will be spending bills at the higher budget number. mr. jordan did not quite make clear to us whether he would be what to support those spending levels so i think it remains to be seen how that plays out. ms. swain: a track record that was reported, one sign into law by the president says what about the process? ms. ferrechio: that it is impossible to sign spending bills -- to pass spending bills. every presidential election year, it makes everything hyper political in congress so it is tough to get bills to cross the finish line. the difference is the leadership is really gunning for it, passing 12 independent spending bills and you have some cooperation with democrats that might normally be missing. with that and a deal every bit as mentioned, the nomination of those two things gives some people hope that they will be able to not

. >> ryan place in his backyard every day. >> ryan, run! >> the autistic 3-year-old's energetic behavior i -- apparently upset a neighbor saying they can't get fresh air getting disrupted by the boy, calling him a brat and the r-word. >> i was mad. i was angry, beyond angry. >> what was the most upsetting part for you. >> the word retarded. the word retarded, that hurt. that really hurt. >> moraan says this is the firs time someone complained about ryan, who also has adhd. >> he is not like you and me, he gets overwhelmed very easily. >> whatever they said in the letter i don't see. >> and neighbors are floored by the note that moran posted to facebook. >> do you have any idea who might have written her? >> i can't imagine it being anything on this block to be honest with you. maybe somebody she shares the driveway with, but right here this core group right here, not at all. nobody. nobody would do that, ok. >> that child on the autism spectrum learns and interprets things differently and we need more acceptance and awareness. >> and encour

everybody thinks speaker ryan. he's trying to throw water on that fire. it's not easily put out because a lot of people think the scenario i laid out is plausible because trump delegates are as loyal to trump as cruz delegates are once you get past ballot three and then you're into -- there's some famous conventions out there that go 20, 30, 50 ballots. you mentioned lincoln at the beginning. that was three. that was a small dust up. if you go 20 it's a meltdown. that could go anywhere. >> but the thing is if there's a republican presidential nomination to want, it seems to me it's want the one four years from now. this one already is such a devalued hunk of political currency, it would be the end of paul ryan's career. >> we disagree here because i go back to what i view as the essential weakness of hillary clinton campaign. the fact that bernie sanders can beat her in new york. she can't win the fbi primary. she can't put that one away. so she's got an essentially weak candidacy and in the back of speaker ryan's mind is you don't get offered this very m
