Paul Ryan Drops Microphone During Interview: ‘Oh Crap!’

‘Oh crap!’

[RUSH TRANCRIPT]

BRZEZINSKI: “So, you are making your first major address as Speaker today. Congratulations, by the way.”
SCARBOROUGH: “We think.”
BRZEZINSKI: “We’re not sure. I know we’ve got an excerpt from your prepared remarks. And I’m going to read from it. ‘We need a new president.’ (Laughter) Can you expound on that, please?”
SCARBOROUGH: “But, I find that to be very soaring rhetoric.”
RYAN: “I ran against the guy last time. (Laughter) Clearly, you know how I feel about that. The point is — Mika, look at the whole speech, but yes, we need a new president. And we’re not going to do all the things that we need it do to solve this country’s big problems with this president. It’s really clear. But the point I’m going to make is, instead of just being an opposition party we have to be a proposition party. And we have to give the people in this country an alternative. We have to give them a chose. I don’t think the country is going in the right direction. The vast majority of Americans don’t think the country is heading in the right direction. So, we have an obligation to our fellow citizens, to show them how we should do things differently. And let them choose. And the way to that is be bold, be specific, have a plan and an agenda and present it to the country. And that’s what this Congress is going to do in 2016.”
SCARBOROUGH: “How are the efforts to unify the caucus?”
RYAN: “Oh, crap!” (Laughter)
BRZEZINSKI: “What you’ve got there, Paul?” 
SCARBOROUGH: “You’re dropping things.”
RYAN: “Hang on. There is the whole thing just fell down on us here. Can you hear me?” [crosstalk]
BRZEZINSKI: “We can totally hear you.”
RYAN: “I’m going to hold this microphone.” (Laughter)
SCARBOROUGH: “We can hear everything actually, Paul. We can hear everything. This is — you’re —“ (Laughter)
BRZEZINSKI: “Fantastic.”
SCARBOROUGH: “This is going to make some clips.”
