ryan shapiro, explain. is the next code espionage act of 1917. this is the same odious law under which chelsea manning was convicted, edward snowden is facing charges, and daniel ellsberg was prosecuted for leaking the pentagon papers. >> so how do you get around the fact you have been denied? today, as we go to air, you filed a new foia with nsa. what changed in your request? >> today i filed a lawsuit against the nsa, fbi, and cia due to their failure to comply with the freedom of information act. they're in violation of federal law. i am suing them to hold them accountable to federal law. what changes they failed to comply with the law, so i am suing to hold them accountable. how do we get around it. that is a great question and a tough one. the nsa has a very difficult nut to crack as far as foia is concerned. not only does the nsa invoke national defense here as well as the espionage act, he also of 1959,e nsa act though the act was passed years before the freedom of information act was passed, the nsa has succeeded in convincing the courts

so that's what paul ryan got wrong. now still, i do think this could lead to more people getting it right. ryan's blase stigma criticism of the inner city was embarrassing. it offended his constituents back home and many black leaders have spoken out, criticizing its assumptions and correlations with, of course, stereotypes long used against black americans. and it had so many factual errors, con flating individual choices with the national recession, misunderstanding the scale of how mentorship actually works, then i think mr. ryan's policy analysis may have wound up sounding like the very trait he wanted to criticize -- his analyalysis sounded lazy. but criticism of bad ideas is healthy and shaming someone for shameful ideas is necessary. mr. ryan is to his partial credit now hearing some critics ou at home and he agreed to meet with his colleagues in the black caucus about this whole debate. for more research, the mayor of patterson new jersey just invited paul ryan to town. quote, come to patterson, congressman ryan

paul ryan gives us the culture version. he says we look to inner cities and we look to culture, but it's the same old racist stereotypes that used to be tied to biology. when he cite, paul murray, we see this is directly connected to the old biological stereotypes, which are ultimately the foundations of white supremacist notions. >> i'll just say in closing this is also the guy who talks about makers and takers and the idea that this 47% and what have you and sort of this lazy idea sort of all goes -- flows through that. thank you to joe madison and ian haney lopez. >> thank you. >> next, we'll check on the ground on crimea with richard engel to get the latest on the russia/ukraine standoff.

it was a rare moment when pay ryan and paul ryan -- patty murray and paul ryan were able to come together. what comes to the floor and what does not come to the floor is a decision for party leaders, but the process is important because it enables observers, voters, the press to understand should a party when control of the senate, the house, or the white house, where would they go with the country. the budget might not be passed on the floor of the congress in either chamber, but it will be parsed over by voters a cousin has details. paul ryan's previous budgets have shown a reduction in social safety net spending, a reduction in medicaid, head start, food stamps, and that really set the tone for the republicans message, and with the president, he is focusing on the poor, on low-income voters, abc details of that in his budget that is one of the best ways to understand where people stand. host: roanoke, virginia. cornelius. you are on with robert costa. caller: how are you doing. guest: good morning. caller: look, i am calling about what is going on. frustrated about this extension of un

tonight's lead, paul ryan's sorry excuse. congressman ryan is supposed to be the gop's expert on poverty, the one who supposedly is going to convince america that republicans are the ones who really want to help the poor. but over the last 24 hours, he's been hammered for those explosive and offensive comments, blaming poverty on a culture of men not working in inner cities. >> we have got this tailspin of culture in our inner cities in particular of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work. so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with. >> culture of working in inner cities? really. today congressman ryan was desperately trying to backpedal. first congressman ryan told a blog, quote, this has nothing to do whatsoever with race. it has never even occurred to me. he is talking about inner city culture. but it never occurred to him that it might be racial? okay. later he released a statement saying i was inarticulate about the p

ryan? >> well, i'm totally shocked by it. the fact is that 26 million people in 2012 lived in poverty because their wages were so low. the issue is often is wages. the earned income tax credit that the president is proposing to expand is one of the most empowering programs there is. there are. and last week i was in detroit at some amazing programs that help people get their geds, help people really overcome learning disabilities as adults, and make a significant step forward. sharon last week told me because she got her ged, she was now able to get a raise and finally lift her family out of poverty. these are helpful programs that are moving people ahead. >> now congressman cleaver, congressman ryan's report included lots of citations. but a reporter for the fiscal times talked to some of the experts cited. he writes their reactions, quote, range from bemusement to anger, claiming that ryan either misunderstood or misrepresented their research. one expert said, quote, it's an odd way to cite the research. usually you use all

ryan you are considered one of the leading transparency advocates in america. you know how to get information from the government, and you want to know why the cia viewed nelson mandela as a threat to security. you want to know what role if any the u.s. played in his arrest and prosecution. why do you want that information and what are some of the specific questions you looking to answer? >> yeah, absolutely. last week i filed a lawsuit for the failure to comply with any freedom of information act records. i'm pursuing these documents because i want to shed light on exactly why the u.s. intelligence agencies viewed him as a threat to the intelligence community and what role it took in thwarting his fight for democracy in south africa -- >> why do you think they thwarted it. >> well, we know that provided intelligence in the 1980s. what we likely know but do not have hard documentation about is the cia specifically was intimately involved in nelson mandela's arrests. we have a former cia agent and south african intelligence agent who have said this is the case.

when you hear paul ryan say it, what do you think he means? >> we have got this tailspin of culture in our innercities in particular, of men not working -- >> i'll offer some possible theorys ahead. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have great news. is now providing answers families need. siemens. answers. >>> the war between the central intelligence agency and the senate committee that oversees it is escalating today. mark udall is placing a hold on president obama's appointment to be top lawyer at that agency. his precise reasoning, it comes amid the fight the cia spied on the committee's staffers, what that means, is that the position of the top lawyer to the cia will continue to be occupied by a man of the name robert ettinger. oddser, you've never heard of robert ettinger, and you're not alone. it is worth explaining this man's record. do you remember this headline? we would later learn the chief of the cia's clandestine branch ordered th

paul ryan has some new lines, some updated rhetoric. but it's the same idea from ronald reagan 40 years ago. the poor, if people are poor, it's their own fault. and any federal government effort to help them only makes it worse. i want to see paul ryan's interest in corporate welfare. why doesn't that make corporations worse off? i want to see his interests in farm subsidies. why don't those create a poverty trap for farmers? he doesn't criticize those at all. but poor people he goes right after them. >> well, if conservatives want to help the poor, why not raise the minimum wage? their report, the republicans say they're, quote, focused on upward mobility, speaking directly to people who have fallen through the cracks. according to the white house's breakdown of a recent cbo report, raising the minimum wage up to $10.10 would mean 16.5 million workers would get a raise which would lift 900,000 people out of poverty. david, i want to get to you. and i think what they're getting at is a sense that there are some people who abuse welfare.

the taxpayer. >> paul ryan finds himself with a problem. he's trying to convince people he really cares about the poor, despite voting to cut nearly $40 billion from the food stamp program for the next ten years. so he came up with a solution. tell a story about a poor person who just happens to view the world the same way paul ryan does. joining me now, former secretary of labor in the clinton administration, robert reich, he's a public policy professor. university of california at berkeley. here's what i think is crucial to understand about paul ryan. his budgets that he is so renowned for when you talk about poverty, in 2013, 2/3 of the huge budget cuts according to the center, 2/3 come from programs for low-income americans. he can say whatever he wants and make up whatever stories he wants. that is in the numbers where the priorities are. >> yes, but you see, chris, that's exactly what he wants to hide. i mean, what he wants to create. and if it requires a story that is made up, so much the better, i mean, if it makes the point he want

ryan? >> paul ryan is a terrific friend and leader. we have been working our way up together for many years. we have ideas about where we can go on tax reform and how we're going to advance these trade agreements. the time is not quite right. we are both focused on helping advance the reform discussion draft which i think is just critical. i am in the middle of trying to find a permanent solution on how we reimburse doctors with medicare. i feel like i'm qualified and prepared to lead the committee. at the right time i will make the case to my colleagues. i think we have a strong case to make. we want to focus on the couple of big picture issues, tax reform draft. >> do you expect any awkwardness? is this like two high school buddies chasing the same girl? [laughter] >> that is the first time i heard that analogy but it is a good one. i do not expect to be acrimonious in any way. paul and i have similar principles of many of these issues. we are friends. we talked about this. we are both focused on being in a position to lead this comm

it's a bit of a paradox with congressman ryan. on the one hand he's drawn incredible attention to the problem of positive in america. it's chronically unattended to especially here in washington where the interests of those who may not have as loud voices as those with more money or influence are able to have. he's held town has, really made it a centerpiece. on the other hand, the comments aside, some of the policies he's proposed, you have to remember medicare, for example, one of the most significant antipoverty -- and he's proposed changing that dramatically to a voucher system. reasonable people can have a debate about how dramatically we need to fix or systems, but you're already seeing democrats using it in the midterm elections. i think one other important thing to note about the follow-up comments, he said that this is not just an inner city issue. the reality is poverty in america is changing. it is in inner cities, sure, but there's also a growing problem of rural, even suburban poverty. as we're sort of wrestling with

joining me now are angela rye and ryan grim. thank you both for being here. >> thanks, rev. >> thanks, reverend. >> ryan, why do democrats think they need to expose the koch brothers' influence in this election year? >> well, i think just the fact that they are spending more by themselves so far than pretty much anybody else at this point. i think a lot of what they're doing is they're trying to let the democratic base know, look, this is what we're up against in 2014. and they're hoping i think that the base will start kicking in these small dollar donations to fight back against the kochs. and what this really is about, and it doesn't get talked about much is climate change. the kochs are all about oil, coal, and tar sands. and everything that they do is geared around shrinking the power of the government to regulate the fossil fuel industry. the biggest threat to fossil fuels is the government saying, look, these fuels are destroying the planet, and we need to do something about it. they have taken what used to be a bipartisa

14 days, ryan? >> i think you're going to see a real surge in signups over the next two weeks, because, you know, people being people, wait until the last minute to do basically anything. you know, it wasn't -- it's not kicking in until that anyway, so there's no real incentive to do it early. also, people might think, i heard the website was kind of screwed up, so i'll wait until it works. in fact, my father-in-law was a die-hard republican, just told me yesterday, he's going to sign up for obamacare, one of the last two days. he's in his early 60s, owns his own business, and this will kind of be a bridge into medicare. >> wait a minute, ryan. your father-in-law is a die-hard republican and he's signing up for obamacare? >> yeah. i mean, he did not want to, for months, he resisted the idea. you know, he thought it was socialism, et cetera, et cetera. >> what made him change his mind? >> he explored all the different options. and, you know, he said his plan will be about $140 a month. and, you know,

do you have more questions for congressman ryan? >> well, just let me say this, he says that it was very inarticulate. it is very, very difficult for him to say that there weren't racial overtones when particularly as we have pointed out to him he referenced charles murray and we all know charles murray is basically -- has blatantly said that black people are inferior. his reference to the inner city males is definitely a proxy for black men, but having said that, the congressional black caucus wants to treat this as an opportunity to look at the culture that has prevented black men from working. i mean, you talked about it earlier in your earlier segment, the lack of affordable health care. the lack of transportation has haunted many black men in terms of finding jobs. the lack of adequate educational opportunity where you're not just compiling these worthle worthless certificates but you're getting the education and job training that will provide you with job opportunity and of course we cannot ignore the culture of bigotry, discr

the reviews of ryan ace report from experts have been mixed. the center on budget and policy priorities found the report misleading with research which it uses to portray the safety net in a negative light. they went and talked to some of the experts whose work ryan cites. she was surprised when she read the paper, it seemed to arbitrarily chop off data from two of the most successful years barbara's wolf said ryan's report studying the effect of housing assistance on labor outcomes. the report has been corrected to reflect that mistake. here's the thing. there are millions of americans in poverty. paul ryan is right about that, there are some real tested solutions out there. not reverse engineered reports, but real policy proposals, with actual political strength behind them. some of which are included in the president's budget announced yesterday, which would expand for instance the earned income tax credit and calls on congress to raise the minimum wage to 10.10 an hour. today the president went to connecticut to sell those solutions. >> thi

>>> and i guess it's also appropriate that the four rs, rory, russell, russell and ryan are in a four-way playoff to decide the 2014 honda classic. we've talked a lot about how guys drop shots coming down the stretch. this is just a small example of it. the key moments. this was it for knox, johnny. you called this at the 14th. >> yeah, just couldn't get it over that little diagonal bank and it just ricocheted straight right. >> and that cost him. double bogey at 14 for knox and he parred in from there to post it. henley at the par 3 15th. this was just after he knocked it in off the green for birdie at 14. >> and birdied 13. and not even close. >> he doubles the 15th. he drops back to 8 under. and then rory mcilroy, who came to the 16th at 10 under and seemingly looked like it was his tournament to win or lose -- >> kept getting so many tee shots left and that leads to a double bogey. >> mcilroy drops to 8 under. he also bogeyed the 17th to drop to 7 under and then ryan palmer, who just cleared the hazard, had an excellent chance at the 18th but just could not put that little par putt aw

and neither does ryan's attack on the safety net. president obama has a different vision in the fight for fairness. >> they think we should drastically reduce or eliminate the safety net for a lot of people. it's a theory they expounded in the run-up to the crisis in 2008. just because this theory has a history, doesn't mean it should have a future. it's time to retire this theory. >> 50 years after the war on poverty began, the country has taken great strides. but there is much work left to do. and going backwards by cutting programs and attacking poor families won't help. joining me now are congressman jim mcdermott, democrat of washington, and salon.com's joan walsh. thank you both for being here. >> thanks, rev. >> it's good to be here. >> congressman mcdermott, this gop report blames poverty on the safety net, and on family structure. give me your take on this. >> well, as usual, paul ryan's running in the wrong direction. the american people know that it's what you're paid when you work that makes you get out of poverty. and as

i think it is an insult to hear what chairman ryan said. the other thing is that 200,000 people who are not receiving unemployment insurance who were in iraq or afghanistan, they are not a part of inner city culture. they are men and women who put their lives on the line, they come home, out of a job and frankly out of luck because this congress is not trying in any kind of small way to come to their aid. >> you know, karen, the congressman ryan also criticized the safety net. listen to this. >> right now we have sort of a poverty management system, in many ways to the benefit of the managers. and so when you question the status quo of the government's poverty you get all the criticisms from the abhereants who don't want to see a change. one study found that poverty rate was 26% in 1967. the safety net has helped that fall to about 16% by 2012. congressman ryan thinks people who want to protect the safety net are just poverty managers, karen. >> look, on the one hand, what is so insulting about what congressman ryan said is when was the las

people like paul ryan want to do it. we know there are a majority of votes in the house to pass comprehensive reform. but they can't get past this extreme right wing of the party and get something to the floor. but to take on and to focus on the dreamers, particularly in the committee report of the enforce act where they said this is why we have to do this, because we don't want the president doing things like allowing the dreamers to stay in the country illegally without congressional approval. but they won't pass anything. and for a year ago, we heard all these rumors about well, we're going to have our own dream act. we're going to have this way to keep the immigrant kids in the country. we haven't heard a word about it since. and they've just got to get off their seats and get something done. it will be damaging to them politically. i think it will be damaging politically in some senate races and some gubernatorial races this year if they don't act. >> last word to you, adrian. who do you think faces the bigger risk

ryan could get on board with. the flashpoint there is how to pay for it. he wants to close a loophole. >> the president does not have especially close relationships with congressional democrats but is promising to go out. this that reflect a worry that they really could lose the senate and have a nightmarish few years? >> there is. there are no rose-colored glasses going into the midterm election. the president was in virginia this week. he was in boston, fundraising. he told donors that we do great in presidential cycles but we do a little sleepy when it comes to the midterms. they can raise a ton of money and they can help and understand the specific needs of candidates in specific states and then began to set the national message which we saw in the budget blueprint this week. >> the senate, seven democrats joined the republicans, rejected obama's nominee for the civil rights division. was this a careless nomination or was there demagoguery? >> it points to how poor the president's relationship is with democrat

paul ryan is right about that. and there are some real tested solutions out there, not reverse-engineered reports but real policy proposals with actual political strength behind them, some of which are included in the president's budget announced yesterday which would expand, for instance, the earned income tax credit and also calls on congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. today the president went to connecticut to sell those solutions. this should not be that hard, you'd think, because nearly three in four americans -- about half of all republicans -- support raising the minimum wage. the problem is, republicans in congress oppose raising the minimum wage. now, i don't know if that's just because i proposed it [ laughter ] maybe i should say i oppose raising the minimum wage and they'd be for it, that's possible. joining me now, governor dan nell malloy of connecticut from central connecticut state university where president obama spoke earlier today. governor, i was reading in a local connecticut

i spoke with chairman ryan over the weekend. that's the crux of his argument with this budget document. he says that there's over 92 programs administered by the federal government dealing with poverty. a lot of people are enrolling in these programs even as a recovery is ongoing. he's trying to look at ways to curb the spending on these kind of programs and also just try to empower people out of poverty. he thinks the party needs to return to your old friend, jack kemp, to get back to the growth message on these issues and not just talk about cutbacks. >> democratic budget guru, chris van hollen, thinks that paul ryan wants to slash safety net programs left and right and doesn't buy into the incentive argument. so we're going to have a big fight on our hands. >> reporter: i think so. because there was a budget deal crafted between the senate and the house in december, we're not going too see a major budget war in terms of finding a budget compromise this spring. what you're going to have is a battle of ideology. i spoke to chri

o'reilly had ryan on to talk about his exchange with lee in a private phone call. when paul ryan refused to come out swinging and attack barbara lee on the air, o'reilly said this. >> they don't want to solve the problem. these race hustlers make a big living and get voted into office, by portraying their constituents as victims, it's all your fault and my fault, the rich people's faults, the republican's fault, it's everybody's fault, except what's going on. and what's going on as you know is a disillusion of the family, and you don't have proper supervision of children, and they grow up with no skills and they can't read and speak and they have tattoos on their neck, and they can't compete in the marketplace. that's what's going on. but if you say that, you're a racist. no matter what you say, you're going to be branded because the race hustlers don't want to solve the problem. >> near as i can tell, he means someone who tells their audience that the problems of poverty, have nothing to do with what they in the audience are doing. they are completely relieved of

ryan's report does concede that some programs work. it has good things to say about the veterans' health administration and says the child tax credit protected by 2.9 million people and kept them from falling into poverty, including about 1.5 million children. he takes a dim view of programs like job core who he says costed outweigh the benefits. federal assistance to college students and the low energy assistance program, the national school breakfast program and even head start. the report claims snap discourages work among female head of households and married men and concludes that the national school launch program created by congress in 1946 to ensure that war drafties were fit for combat, quote, contributes to obesity among school children, i guess by giving the little ones too much food? what he says does work, wait for it, is tax cuts. that's what he wants to do while consolidating or cutting federal anti-poverty programs, all of which combined amount to about 12% of the $3.5 trillion federal budget when you take out medicare

as ryan murray suggested, the dÉtente. is that what it looked like from where you are? what can we look forward to in the next few months? >> first of all, it's great to be here. i appreciate the opportunity. i think you have a temporary truce on the budget wars. the budget agreement that was reached in december carries us through fiscal year when 2014 and 2015. you have an agreement to increase spending on those by 2015 you are back to current law, and that is the sequester with the deeper across-the-board cuts. look at some point we are going to have to resolve those issues. there were concerns we would have another showdown about the debt ceiling. we were able to approve the debt ceiling without too much forensics. there is some talk, and it is only talk, that the house republicans -- my colleague paul ryan may be considering putting forth a budget proposal that would actually change parts of the ryan-murray agreement. i hope that is not the case because that would route -- would create unnecessary disruption. there is talks they try -- they will try to increase the

also news overnight in u ryan, arseniy yatseniuk will visit the u.s. russian the nuclear weapons after the u.s. imposed sanctions late last week. former vice president dick cheney joins us now. >> good morning, charlie. >> rose: tell me what options are? today? >> i think -- i worry one would begin to address a crisis by first thing we do is take options off the table, i don't think administration should do that. >> rose: have they done that? >> no military. seems to operate that way most of the time. there are military option, is that don't involve putting troops on the ground and crimea. we can go back and reinstate the ballistic missile defense that was taken out, originally going to go in poland, czech republic, obama took it out to apiece putin. we could do training exercises in poland. offer military assistance in terms of equipment, training to the ukrainians themselves. >> rose: activation of military forces, in terms of having forces come and make their appearance there. >> on our part. >> rose: yes. >> i'm not aware of any detail. nato i'm su

it's not just so-called inartful comments, such as those paul ryan made. what about all of those continued barriers to voting they're setting up in state after state? brown voters with republicans refusing to do anything on immigration reform. so i have to give them a failing grade, joy. >> jonathan, a harsh grade so far from cynthia tucker. what is your grade for the republicans thus far? >> maybe it's st. patrick's day that's giving me sort of a warm heart here. i'll give them a d-plus. and i'm not giving them an "f," because i know that they have made efforts, in their own way, to reach out to the african-american community. last month, they did a black history month program here in washington for black republicans, that i have to say, quite frankly, when i went there, i was invited to go there, they thought i wouldn't show up, and i was surprised by how many black republicans were in that room and the speeches that were given had nothing to do with, you know, slamming the president or slamming the democratic party and talking all about growth, opportun

asking him who's winning. >> let you know at the end of the game. >> 34-year-old ryan has been coming to jail since bubanas was as child. being locked up together has made his stay a little easier. >> to see him in here hurts, you know, but at the same time, it's nice to have people around that genuinely care about you, that you know they got your back if something happens. it's good. funny kid. keeps me laughing all day long. same routine almost 20 years. my grandmother used to call it life on the installment plan. ryan, unfortunately you're going to be doing life on the installment plan is what she used to say to me. i used to hate her say that to me. no, i'm not. i'm doing life on the installment plan. >> this time, mcnee racked up eight charges, including possession of a firearm, assault and battery and unarmed robbery. he's pled not guilty to all charges and is awaiting trial. >> hey, do me favor, clean the tables and come by and give me some hot water, all right? >> though he takes some friendly taunting from his brother, mcnee earns a dollar a day working as a runner. >> basica

>> we built the budget and built it to the basic 10-14, the ryan-murray levels. there are puts and takes that have different technical places. for instance, our wildfire proposal that cecilia mentioned and how we do that would be one of the examples of why when you see those numbers in the budget what you see. the wildfire proposal, just to go over it briefly, give you an example what kinds of puts and takes. we believe that the issue of wildfire financing in the united states at this point in time is not being done in a way that's most cost efficient and effective in temples impact. what happens is on an annual basis when the wildfires start, the department of interior and usda end up hollowing out. they hollow out the types of investments we need to make in the efforts in the space. so what they do is they take money from other places. they can't do planning and take money from other places we should be investment. what happens by notals but most of the time what happens is those moneys get replenished at a point in time. what we think is a better approach is t
