Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is scheduled to address the “state of American politics” Wednesday morning at 11 am Eastern. It will live stream here.

“The speaker will talk about how, in a confident America, we can elevate political debates to inspire and unite people,” Ryan’s aide told the Hill.

This speech comes after a big news day around the world with a terrorist attack in Brussels and two Republican primaries in the US (Ted Cruz and Donald Trump each won a state). This will not be the first time Ryan has weighed in on the state of politics and the presidential election, having previously condemned Trump for his proposed ban on Muslims and stumble over disavowing support from the Ku Klux Klan.
