Paul Ryan warns of political \'unravelling\' in farewell

ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Critical of the state of U.S. politics, outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan delivered his farewell address as at the Library of Congress on Wednesday, where he said outrage has become a "brand" that "saps the meaning from our politics." California Democrat Nancy Pelosi is now all but assured of becoming the next speaker of the House of Representatives.

In late November, the House Democratic caucus voted to nominate her for the position; on Wednesday she agreed to limit herself to four years as speaker, a deal that allowed her to pick up at least seven votes, paving the way for her to win the gavel.
