>> his name is ryan. >> you see ryan's face in the baby's? >> yeah. >> sarah, a canadian via new york, like 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. a little more than a month later, sarah came to cincinnati to visit ryan. she stayed with him 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. >> th

so, this was the subtex of private ryan. we were fighting these terrible nazis, who we later discovered how inhuman they were. we already knew a little bit about that before the gi's did, but it is that same good versus evil civilization versus the edge of reason and civilization that comes to this metaphorical bridge, and in a way, america was defending that bridge against the barbarians too. then you come to the end and captain miller ends up in a cemetery, as you all know -- ryan ends up back in the cemetery. but, as captain miller died, he says, you have to earn this, as we all know, in the movie. he goes back to the cemetery with his family and says, he tried to live life as best as he could, hopes that that is enough. he tried to live life the best as he could, and he hopes that it is enough. brokaw would say he was emblematic of that generation and the good war. private ryan really fed into that narrative. and then we just say that this national world war ii museum, and the originial d-day museum, is also part of the

in ryan's case, loudly. giving trump a full embrace with a prime time speech at the gop convention and in ryan's case cynically, because as speaker, ryan would habitually lie and claim he hadn't seen what trump said or did to avoid having to condemn it. that was an open secret that was so blatant it actually became paul ryan's own punch line at the comedic al smith dinner. this was during trump's first year in office. >> every morning i wake up in my office and i scroll twitter to see which tweets that i'll have to pretend that i did not see later on. >> very funny. i want to be clear, we're not applying a random standard on paul ryan here to confronting trump. we are applying the paul ryan standard. he said he'd stand up to trump. he proclaimed trump's comments were textbook racist and then even when he had the second most powerful post in washington after the presidency, as speaker paul ryan famously folded. now, what about ryan's other major stated passion, the hunger to balance the budget and cut the def

>> i was the legislative council to congressman ryan. he had decided that he wanted to him -- the congressional delegation down to guyana because there were many constituents of his who had loved ones who because there were many constituents of his that had loved ones, young adult children who had gotten involved in this church in san francisco called the people's temple. and they had left san francisco and taken 900 of their congregation to this remote country in south america where, in a jungle, they had carved out a community. these constituents wanted to know, when were they safe? were they there against their will? they gave us letters they want to make sure got to their children because they did not think they were able to communicate at all with their children. and congressman ryan became involved in part because no one else was interested. which is hard to believe, but the local electeds were all indebted to then-chairman jones who, as a reverend in san francisco at the people's temple, had a couple thousand congregants who could

house speaker paul ryan gives his farewell address. he was introduced by his friend and colleague, congressman trey gowdy. >> thank you. paul ryan has been the speaker of the house, vice presidential candidate, a chairman of the budget committee, a chairman of the ways and means committee. smartest kid in the room. whether it is tax, budget, health care, entitlement reform but those are not the things that i will remember most or remember most dearly about him. paul was my favorite member of congress before i ever got to congress. when i was trying to make the transition from a courtroom to a congressional candidate, i would read his roadmaps to recovery. i would read his speeches. i would watch his interviews. he was smart. he was persuasive. he was contrasting, but not in an overtly confrontational way. he did not need cards during a debate. he did not need staff to whisper in answer into his ear. he was to me exactly what our party and our country needed which was a smart, persuasive, contrasting person who understood and knew the i

ryan: of course. any increase in labor costs either is going to hit their bottom line or has to pass through higher prices. or maybe they invest more in automation. so, what are they going to be is the biggest question. is it going to get resolved? are we going to have 25% tariffs? there is a lot of uncertainty. and brands don't know what to do. do you change your supply chain or wait two years and wait for a new president? emily: are the delivery drones going to be ready? ryan: there is a walgreens near my house. i would love to press a button and a drone drops me a snickers bar. emily: always good to have you on the show. ahead, softbank is plowing hundreds of millions of dollars into a u.s. bio startup. what they are planning to do with the funding next. this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: another privacy misstep by the world's largest social network. facebook said a software bug gave developers broader access to the photos of a large swath of users, 6.8 million users. facebook apologized and says it's b

this is ryan. at first glance he seems like a typical first grader. 7 years old he loves soccer, his dogs and his family, but ryan is also the face of a fast growing toy empire. it sprung from his wildly popular youtube channel, ryan's toy reviews. >> it's a dog. >> really? >> what's it like when you come to a store and you see your face on a toy? on a bunch of toys? >> really excited because it makes me surprised that my toys are there. >> hi, mommy. >> ryan rose to stardom at just 3 years old. his youtube channel which shows him unboxing and playing with toys at home has 17 million subscribers and counting. the videos have been watched 25 billion times. >> when did you guys start realizing that ryan was maybe a thing on youtube? when did it start happening? >> maybe like four months after we started? >> yeah. >> started seeing big, huge spike on the views. >> we're like, we don't have this many family members. >> "forbes" named ryan's this year's highest paid youtuber bringing in an estimated $22

>> very uncommon, ryan. the thing we're looking at here is the fact that the president is so open about his motivations when it comes to withdrawing troops from syria. i think what the troops are getting is a bit of inside baseball and i think they're grateful to hear some of that, but the real problem is that other people are listening in to this and they understand that the president is basically moving everything out of syria, placing it into iraq. that gives russia, syria in the form of the assad regime and iran, as well as isis an opportunity to maneuver. that cab very dangerous game and may force the president to reverse course depending on how things going in syria. >> the president also indicated that he's in no rush to nominate a new defense secretary. he said the deputy he's appointed, the deputy secretary shanahan could be in the office for quite some time. interesting first that he makes this news in front of a crowd of troops, but what's your overall reaction to that timeline? >> i think it's ve

he says ryan zinke has accomplished so far? like what? other than opening up drilling to an war, i'm not sure what he's accomplished. >> on that note, we talk about agencies that do dramatic things, who go about doing that in a way that's unchecked or unguarded. and i think you could put the interior department and all that's been accomplished into that camp. >> if you are looking for something great to read, michael lewis has a book about the inner workings of government agencies actually are are. but the point he makes very clearly, and it's so relevant now, is when government agencies don't work, when they're not overseeing nuclear risks, environmental risks, things like that, it starts to get very dangerous. i think the question future historians are going to be asking is how much of the safety culture began to degrade very quietly under the current administration and actually, frankly, before it, as well, while everyone was watching the soap opera and the reality tv show of the white house. >> look, we can go back to steve bannonen's

i think tax reform was paul ryan's legacy. that's why he came to town and wanted to run weighs and means. tax reform made the code more competitive on the a corporate side and so on. so i think that has to be considered pretty much the highlight of congress. so there are several others that don't get as much attention like scaling back dodd-frank regulations on community banks, like the recent criminal justice reform package, in the senate, the judiciary revamp. i think there is a lot to point to on conservative accomplishments. >> paul: kim, how doin you see this congress? >> i absolutely agree with mitch mcconnell and all of the things that kate just mentioned. and the speaker touched on it briefly, don't forget congress' role which was monumentally important in rolling back a number of those big last minute obama regulations and their tool for that was something called the congressional recre review . they used it more than a dozen times. to the extent that our federal register is smaller these days, the list of pages of re

paul ryan is out. do you think he wanted to speak out more but felt he couldn't because, i don't know, maybe he would get criticism or what, but isn't that leadership? >> well, i'll tell you what, i do believe that paul ryan wanted to speak out more. if you remember what happened during the "access hollywood" issue, when that story broke, there was a conference call among all house republicans that monday after the weekend. and at that time paul ryan said he was only going to campaign for house republicans and the president was on his own. i was one of the 11 people who spoke in that call, and i agreed with paul, and he got no support with anyone else. everyone else in the call said you need to stand by the nominee. after that i felt paul was always chasten, always looking over his right shoulder. concerned about a rear guard action. if he was ever too critical i believe he could have lost his speaker position over it, so i believe that's the main reason he didn't push back more. >> why would it matter

paul ryan tried. i wish -- i have problems with his vote for t.a.r.p., raising the debt ceilings, but there weren't enough people supporting him. i want them to look at the senate. look at the longest-serving senate republican leader in u.s. history and trillions of dollars tallied on mitch mcconnell's watch. he did not lift a finger to help paul ryan and should be blamed much more than paul ryan. >> we'll get to mitch. now that i said nice things about president trump. let me refer -- paul ryan is one of the great frauds of congressional history. >> that's harsh. >> yes, it is. he's been a complete enabler for donald trump and now today going out the door saying we should have humility. >> he went down to the binary choice stuff. but -- you know? >> every day that donald trump has been president, paul ryan has carried his water and abetted. let me give a stat. on the day paul ryan walked into the doors, introduced a budget that had a $100 billion-plus surplus. i know. 20 years later, paul ryan walks

sometimes there's someone like a paul ryan, and i can tell you without fear of contradiction, paul ryan did not want to be the speak r of the house. he supported kevin mccarthy with every ounce of his fire r. we needed someone unit fieing and we needed somebodydown verbally respected. et with needed someone sack official enough to give up us his droem job for no one's treatment job. paul has too much grace and class to say this, but i do not. i wonder sometimes if we did him a favor. when we drafted him to be our speaker. he's a policy. guy. always has been. he's not a bare knuckles political fighter. his bias is towards fairness, his bias is towards working with people. i wonder sometimes if we did him a favor. paul, i will tell you this. you may not have loved us enough to be the speaker of the house, but i'm glad you love the country enough to be the speaker of the house.
