tim ryan, the guy who got the 63 boat is speaking right now. but listen in. >> by members who came out publicly for me and i think quite frankly we got the message out that we wanted to get out and that is as democrat we need to talk about economics, the issues that unite us. a million times in the last two weeks and i believe in my heart if we are going to win as democrats, we need an economic message that resonates in every corner of this country. we come out of this leadership election united as democrats to take on the challenges that we need moving forward. i am disappointed because i like to win, but i think it was a great discussion for us and honestly i think the party is better off. i'm happy to take any questions. [inaudible conversations] >> well, i think you all will speculate a lot about now, but it says that talking economics, people i think understood that message is very, vy important to us as democrat, especially leaders on the frontline and in some way representing the 30, 40, 50 seats we need to pick up. the message resonated

tim ryan could be the guy. they have a secret ballot happening today. this is a vote that was postponed before thanks giving should be the new leader. ryan says they do need new leadership e says democrats are more -- he says democrats are more frustrated than they have ever seen and they need to make changes to reach out to the voters that put donald trump in office. now as for pelosi there are questions about whether or not the issues that she has been pushing are too liberal. whether or not she is really able to bring the party together and pull in more democrats. she said they were going to pick up 25 seats they have picked up 6. there's some believe it or not they are counting. but i was nowhere near the gain she expected to see for democrats in the house. also, keep in mind she is a very big fund-raiser in the last cycle she raised 141 million dollars. that's something that could work in her favor. compared to a million dollars tim ryan raised but however they are really looking towards new leadership. behind her but keep in mind this is secret ba

she's going to get a challenge from tim ryan. tim ryan represented that district for obama. what do you make of that? is pelosi still the right one to lead democrats, or is it somebody else? >> if they picked tim ryan, that would be a big signal, that he's going to get the best people to do the job. i think that would be a great signal among americans. in terms of nancy pelosi, i think people underestimate what she's done as speaker. nancy pelosi was the one who helped george bush bail the economy out, which saved not only the u.s. economy but the worldwide economy. nancy pelosi shuffled the affordable care act through. do she might need to train the bench as we go forward, but i believe nancy pelosi needs to go out on her own terms, and i don't think it's time for her to go out yet. >> november 30 is when those elections are set. appreciate it. >>> don't miss "all in" with chris hayes tonight. his exclusive interview with senator harry reid. they'll talk about president-elect donald trump tonight. >>> and up next, it's our most important number of the day. it could help exp

tim ryan, congressman tim ryan has thrown his hat in the ring. is nancy pelosi's leadership in trouble? >> i think it's considered a long shot bid but probably something a lot of democrats think is worth testing. look, you've heard from bernie sanders and others talking about the need for democrats to go in a new direction, to really take stock of this loss. and i think with not just the loss of the presidency, but both houses of congress as well, the governorships around the country, there's is going to be this testing of whether there's a new way for the party to go. but i think there will be a lot of stalwarts in the party who see nancy pelosi as a very effective minority leader and potential speaker again, depending upon how these first two years go when activism, fundraising and mobilization becomes really important against a new trump presidency and nancy pelosi has a lot of experience doing all of that. >> tim ryan's point is there has to be a new way because the current way isn't working. listen to what he said. >> the lowest number of st

that's one reason tim ryan is mounting this challenge against her. so the one thing ryan may have going for him is that this november 30th leadership election is done by a secret ballot. so folks can vote their will and they may not face repercussions from nancy pelosi. but she's raised so so much money for her colleagues, it would be difficult to unseat her. >> but if you keep losing year after year after year, no matter how much money you raise, what good is it if you're going to be in the minority opposed to the majority? >> reporter: that's exactly right, and what tim ryan told me earlier today. he said it would be the definition of insanity to do the same thing year after year, and i was asking specifically about pelosi's time atop the caucus. so the question is, how many people agree with her within the caucus? a lot may, but maybe not enough to unseat her. >> i keep hearing a bunch of democrats, mostly younger ones, saying it is time for new leadership right now. some of them don't have the guts necessarily to go public, at least not yet. but

that tim ryan kept saying. they got that right. >> i don't think the way out of the wilderness will be by poo-pooing people out of the wilderness. that added to it. >> that's the way she plays. >> she is tough. >> a lot of people who don't follow it closely. what happened 63 seats lost. 62 of them are moderate and conservatives. the shrinking. the shrinking of the caucus in a weird way made her stronger because it's more liberal. >> they did grow a little bit. >> six seats, but if you look at the broad, they lost one out of every five states they held. about 19% of the seats. most of those are the gene taylors of the world. i think we focus on her because she is the leader, but you have to take it in a trio. pelosi and clyburn. 76, pelosi, 77 hoyer. i looked this up this morning. both pelosi and hoyer were elected in the 80s. people who have been here a long time. paul ryan is 46. >> literally, the pelosi hoyer feud started before you and i were born. >> it goes way back. >> i feel like because she doesn't want

you'll have somebody nominate tim ryan. we don't know yet who those figures will be. you'll have a couple speakers on behalf of both of the candidates. you can expect pelosi probably will grab female lawmaker, probably somebody from the chc, somebody from the black caucus. she'll have a whole swath of people and tim ryan will probably try to do the same thing. he's got some diversity there. he has marcia fudge, former chc -- sorry, former black caucus chair woman from ohio who would probably speak on his behalf. then they vote in the closed ballot. and whether or not we know the tally is another thing. the tally in the schuler vote was leaked. we don't know if we'll know the tally, at least not immediately. >> we'll look for your reporting on all of this. senior congressional reporter for the hill. read more at the hill.com. thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. appreciate it. >>> grover nor quist, president of americans for tax reform. he was a guest on this morning's washington journal talking about president-elect trump's tax policy. this is 40 minutes

i just wonder, you know, a guy like tim ryan comes from ohio. is he more in touch with the needs or the desires of working class democrats these days? >> well, that's the case, i think, that congressman ryan will make, right? that blue wall that we talked about, wisconsin, ohio, michigan, he comes from a place that understands where i think many americans are right now. the anger, the frustration, the fear about a washington that hasn't responded to our needs. so that will be the theme of his election. the problem with nancy pelosi is she is the poster child for elitism and the lectures from the mainstream media and the lectures from washington liberals and from the stage of broadway where the cast of hamilton is telling the rest of us how we should think and feel. jon: yeah. >> her problem is she is part of the tone deafness that won donald trump this election, i'm not sure she can change that. jon: but she enjoys a lot of power, hank. can tim ryan have a chance? >> i don't think her time has come and gone. i think when you have real change, yo

. >> we'll ask tim ryan why he's running against pelosi. >> when someone challenges you, your supporters turn out. >>> all right now on "fox news sunday." >>> and hello again from fox news in washington. as donald trump comes to power raises new questions about relations between the u.s. and cuba. president obama has tried to restore ties between the two countries, but now that is in doubt. in a few minutes, we'll have an exclusive interview with mr. trump's new white house chief of staff, reince priebus. but we start with fox team coverage. james rosen looks back at but first let's go to rick in havana. >> we're outside havana, the thriving capital in cuba, and we're here to discuss castro. word broke he actually died at age 90. they erupted in celebration. thousands of exiles poured into the streets outside the world's most famous cuban restaurant, banging pots honking horns, and celebrating decades of oppression, killing thousands of dissidents, stealing their homes. they boarded small boats for the treacherous 900-mile road to florida. many didn't survive. many of the residents are c

i put it to congressman tim ryan. take a listen to what he said. >> is it nancy pelosi? >> yeah, to some extent. >> who is going to lead the party for the next four years? >> we are all going to participate in leading the party. now is the time when everybody needs to step up which is why i wanted to do it. a lot of young members stepped up, went public, which is unheard of in a political caucus like this. >> reporter: the way that tim ryan reacted to this idea not saying, well, haven't thought about that, don't know who the future is going to be, i think there are a lot of democrats in washington feeling that way, the fact that leaders in the house have been there as long as they have, the average age is 76. for republicans, it's close to 50. that's a generational gap for the party here and considering what happened on election day with a candidate who had, frankly, been in public life in many ways ahead of the democratic party for quite some time losing there's a lot of soul searching and i think this was one important episode in a story that really has many, many chap

this is tim ryan. >> looking i realize it's david against goliath. i understand that. but damn it, we have to have this conversation as a party because the future of our party is at stake. we are not a national party right now. >> is that resonating? i always find, and you cover this so well, that both parties could sometimes be in a bubble, but particularly democrats who go back to the same leadership. and even when the leadership has failed. if you just want to spice things up, go a younger generation, a go go a new line of thought, get more people in the leadership pool. but none of that. >> i know. i just don't see it happening either. i mean nancy pelosi is 76 years old. steny hoyer 77. jim clyburn 76. but they're not giving away their power. they're still the top leaders in the house. and yes there are real concerns as there should be from the likes of tim ryan and others in the democrat being party, but they don't have the power. and if you look at what president obama just said, he's not changing his position or finding any blame in himself. he is still blaming

the lone rival to nancy pelosi's reelection was congressman tim ryan of ohio. he came to the cameras a short time ago to talk about his challenge to the current leader and what it means for the party. >> first i'd like to thank these members who stood by me, marcia fudge and ed perlmutter who nominated me. clearly this didn't turn out the way we wanted it to, we knew it was going to be an uphill battle, we only had a couple weeks to put this together but we i think did a pretty good job, my staff, my members who came out publicly for me and i think quite frankly we got the message out that we wanted to get out and that's that as democrats we need to talk about economics, it's the issue that united us. you've heard me say this a million times in the last two weeks and i believe in my heart if we're going to win an economic message that resonates in every corner of this country. we come out of this leadership election united as democrats to take on the challenges that we need moving forward. i'm disappointed because i like to win but i think it was a great discus

specifically that could be ohio rhettive tim ryan. ryan believes the results of the recent presidential election calls for change in the democratic leader. pelosi has been the house democratic leader for 12 years. we'll bring you live reports from tracie potts in washington coming up at 6:35. >>> happening now, as we see the chilly temperatures starting to set in, there's a cold weather warning in the south bay. an inclimt weather episode has been issued. temps could drop into the 30s in some parts of the bay area. county officials are expanding the number of shelters available for people who need it. the weather warning lasts through at least saturday. >>> not only is it cold, but we do have some rain. time now is 6:08. we're tracking the showers moving through on the radar, approaching the bay area. you can see that the rain has been very hit or miss. mostly over the north bay and now starting to move into the east bay as well. also in the peninsula, as we get a closer look, light rain moving through pacifica, and as you go down 280

tim ryan joins me now. this long for someone like you or democrats to say, you know what, it's been a decade since democrats won control the house. why has there been so much comfort with her leadership until today? >> i think you think the next election is going to be different. the next elections haven't been different. my level of frustration came from the idea that we're going to have for two more years the same conversation as we have been having since 2010. i think thev in our caucus is as great as i have seen it. it's time to do something about it, not just talk about it. now we're not even the national party. we're a coastal party. we have to move forward. if we're not going to get voters in ohio, michigan, someone in minnesota, we have to go back there and campaign and get those vo folks in the fold. do you think he is alluding to identity politics? >> i think in part, we try to slice the electorate up. you are black, you are brown, you are gray, you are straight, you are a woman, you are a man. th

and i think tim ryan's also an inestimable guy. he's a rust belt congressman. he has also said he can go south and talk to people and say, you know what? this is what the democratic party stands for. we are concerned about jobs. so he has a real platform. the problem? pelosi is the biggest fundraiser coming out of california. she has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for democrats since i think it's 2002. and it's hard to give up on that. and can and so a lot of people are in debt to nancy pelosi. one last point on this, nancy pelosi's in her 70s. you think about, you know, some of people who are on her house leadership team, and they are also an older generation. and i think people like tim ryan in his 40s, and you think about some of the base of the democratic party at this point, you know, i think it was 55 plus percent of people under 34 voted for hillary clinton. they want activist, energetic people to the take the fight -- ainsley: bernie sanders supporters want to burn this thing to the ground. harris: bernie's older than all of them. ames a.n.s.w.e
