however, that is behind us for john boehner. in all the years i served with him, speaker boehner has shown me the same kindness, grace and friendship that he's shown so many of this house, its colleagues on both sides of the aisle. john boehner is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and a leader who, even in the act of stepping back from his position in the leadership, has always put the best interest of our country first. when it came time to make difficult decisions, even in the face of strong opposition from some in his own party, speaker boehner was willing to work across the aisle to make sure that this house was achieving its most fundamental responsibilities to those we have the honor of serving. we did not have a default in our debt at least twice in large part because of john boehner's determination not to let it happen. millions of children benefited from the performance of no child left behind because john boehner, the chairman of the committee, put children's interests first and worked in partnership with the

things about john boehner. i find it uncynically endearing and human about him. i empathize with him because i too am an uncontrollable public cryer. but in terms of how we got to today's tidal wave of chaos in washington, john boehner crying repeatedly and uncontrollably in the presence of pope francis this month ends up being an important part of the story. we'll never know for sure. mr. boehner has given sort of conflicting answers about it. but john boehner apparently was so moved by the visit of pope francis to the capitol this past month that he decided literally right as pope francis was leaving washington, d.c., he says he decided that if he was ever going to get out of this freaking job it was going to be right then. no time like the present, right now. let's do it. and so in fact the day after pope francis left washington, d.c. and john boehner spent that entire day crying in public in the presence of the pope, the very next day john boehner surprised everybody and he quit. he quit one of the most pow

., john boehner has never forgotten where he came from. his roots are that big catholic family, running a local bar in a blue collar part of cincinnati that background grounded him and gave him the right perspective on both life and public service. losing john boehner's bad for ohio and i believe it's bad for america but it's probably good for john boehner. speaker boehner, on behalf of my constituents, let me say thank you for your selfless service to this country and good luck in the future, and please don't be a stranger. i yield back the balance of my time, mr. chairman. mr. chabot: reclaiming my time, does the gentlewoman from ohio have further speakers? ms. kaptur: i have no further speakers but i would like to add this, if i might. that is that the circumstances that have led to speaker boehner's decision to depart this chamber trouble me a great deal. and history will report on everything that happened that has led to this point, but how sad is it that someone with that experience, from our part of the country, the great lakes regi

and when john boehner became speaker of the house. and we have a lot to celebrate because of his leadership in the house. and you think about the path that we were on before he was speaker, and the important reforms and legislation that he has led on for people all across this country, it's quite an impressive record. he's always been committed to fiscal responsibility and since he's been speaker we've reduce spending, overall spending, by over $2 trillion. the most significant spending reductions in mott earn history. we -- modern history. he with we passed the first balanced budget plan since 2001. and there's the opportunity scholarship, he's led on so many issues. it was under his leadership that earmarks were banned in the house and the senate. i'm proud of the work that we've accomplished together and i have been thankful for his leadership, not just for the house of representatives, but for america and for every person in this country. later this week we will be electing a new speaker and we're going to continue to make the peo

what john boehner said heap was sent to washington to do. he wants to accomplish a no compromise position, shut down the government if necessary, get people who are angry about to sense that they are doing something about it. >> the rights might. this time on the programme, let's begin with david shuster in new york, and from capitol hill, al jazeera's michael shure. you were on the hill this morning, was there a precipitating event that happened in the caucus that gave a symbol. >> it was a confluence of a lot much things, whether they get 200 on the full congress, the calculations from that he could not. some, kevin mccarthy saying that benghazi was a political ploy, you know, without using those words, a political committee, so as to get hillary clinton off of her wheels a little bit. it came down to the fact that there was a faction of the house that david talked about, the freedom caucus and other members that didn't want to vote for kevin mccarthy, because it would have been the same, they wanted conservativism in there and he didn't h

>> how would i grade john boehner question mike i hesitate to grade john boehner to the extent that he is still speaker. we see in history that sometimes speakers save their biggest or most amazing accomplishment for the end of their tenure. we still have some time to play out. i would say this about john boehner, back in the early 1930s , we had a democrat from texas and he once said that speakership is the hardest job in washington. i think that pretty much sums up the experience of john boehner. imagine how much has changed since the 1930s since the job has gotten exponentially more difficult. they now have to deal with huge amount of campaign funding and groups that are funding against members of your party, the 24 hours news cycle and all of these tremendous pressure on the speaker. i think john boehner has challenges to his speakership. when used couple that with some of the more, shall we say independent-minded members of the party right now in the house representatives, it makes it harder for him to count on the party loyalty that's necessary to enact legislation, especially wh

however, that is behind us for john boehner. in all the years i served with him, speaker boehner has shown me the same kindness, grace and friendship that he's shown so many of this house, its colleagues on both sides of the aisle. john boehner is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and a leader who, even in the act of stepping back from his position in the leadership, has always put the best interest of our country first. when it came time to make difficult decisions, even in the face of strong opposition from some in his own party, speaker boehner was willing to work across the aisle to make sure that this house was achieving its most fundamental responsibilities to those we have the honor of serving. we did not have a default in our debt at least twice in large part because of john boehner's determination not to let it happen. millions of children benefited from the performance of no child left behind because john boehner, the chairman of the committee, put children's interests first and worked in partnership with the

that is what drove john boehner out. it was having to deal with that time and again, every time one of these deadlines came up, the house freedom caucus would say, well, we will give you -- we will only keep the government open if you give us x, and x was some demand that he could not meet. he got tired of that. he also got tired of the threat of we keep talking about the motion to vacate the chair. so that threat is all off the table through the 2016 election for paul ryan. it's very interesting, he's going to have opportunities there that john boehner never had. the other thing that i'm thinking of, though, it's interesting, you're mentioning in talking about the history of bob michael and newt gingrich and john boehner, the story of john boehner in his congressional career is the story of the evolution of the modern republican party. he was the troublemaker when he started. a generation ago in 1990, it was john boehner was part of a group with newt gingrich that said the republican leadership is too cozy with democrat

what is interesting about john boehner is he has done just that. whether it is raising the debt limit ceiling, he has brought to the floor where the majority of republicans voted against but they passed the democratic foe, so john boehner has been excellent the so-called has tert rule than predecessors. host: terry is next on the republican mind. caller: i went european on newt gingrich. he worked with bill clinton and did some good things that when he runs for president, he was vilified. i wanted to get your comment. dayt: i could talk all about it gingrich, a fascinating character. host: did you interview him for the book? you did talk to jim wright, correct? guest: yes. i did not speak to newt gingrich for the book. very effective as a speaker, particularly in the first year of speakership in the first 100 days, as contra promised of legislation. it was quite remarkable what he could get through the house of representatives. that did not mean that he was not disliked by democrats. was in the republican minority in the 1980's, 1970's, 1990's and

>> john boehner put out a statement. at this point it seems he has to stay on until it gets resolved whenever that may be and that's pretty much his statement. he said i'll quote here, it's short, after leader mccarthy's announcement, members of the republican house conference will not vote today for a new speaker. as i said previously, i will serve as speaker until the house votes for a new speaker. we'll announce at a later date and i'm confident we'll elect a speaker in the coming weeks. >> this is brilliant, perfectly brilliant, john boehner's plan. >> he's got to be sitting back home, neil, just watching in and you know, i mentioned how he went on and sang my, oh, my, what a wonderful day, john boehner. neil: with us is congressman clawson, a republican, and webster, of course, is trying to get this job. congressman what do you see in your colleague webster trying to get this job. >> first of all, thank you for having me on, neil, i can't believe i'm talking to you. >> i think it would be great-- >> no, i never expe

thank you to john boehner's staff. and i know i speak for everyone here, democrats and republicans, when i thank you for making the visit of his holiness pope francis such a beautiful and meaningful experience for all of us. [ applause ] today we extend our thanks and congratulations to debbie, your daughters lindsey and tricia and the entire boehner family, now including grandson alister. let's hear it for the family of john boehner. [ applause ] on behalf of house democrats and personally, i wish you and your family all of god's blessings in the glorious years ahead. last month, we witnessed something truly special when pope francis made history addressing a joint session of congress. standing right here, pope francis called on us to seek hope, peace and dialogue for all people. and reminded us of our duty to find a way forward for everyone. a good political leader, his holiness said, is one who with the interest of all in mind, seizes the moment in a spirit of openness and pragmatism. with the interest in mind of al

we still have john boehner with the speaker's gavel in his hand. these are two individual decisions that we have of the speakers to step down and kevin is to step aside. the republican conference is yet to speak on who the new leadership will be. work is getting done. the debates are continuing as htous mov the house moves. >> kevin mccarthy seemed to go into this closed door meeting confident he report asked how he's feeling and he said great. the stunning news came he wanted a fresh face. who would the fresh face be? >> i don't know. i support kevin. i think he will be a strong leader in the house. it's unfortunate he made this decision. there has yet to be a vote on who will be the next speaker. we know that candidates will be jockeying and coming forward and debating issues that are important. people can look at the house and see we still have a speaker. now we'll need to pick our next speaker. >> i couldn't have said it much better. this committee was only created for one person, to find the truth on behalf of the family for the four dead amer

they have john boehner, because john boehner's going to remain the speaker of the house until a new speaker is elected. so, between now and then, we can make progress on these issues. john boehner knows it and st of us on the house republican conference, the governing wing of the party, we know we need to make progress on it, and we intend to drive forward whatever the consequences may be. >> you know, it's interesting, presidential candidate lindsey graham, senator graham was on, and he is concerned that if the house has a meltdown, which were his words, and shows that it cannot govern, that it is going to hurt anyone's chances, a republican, of winning in 2016. does that concern you at all? >> i think senator graham's absolutely right, that to the extent there is dysfunction in congress, that does not accrue well -- that does not accrue to the benefit of the republican presidential nominee, whoever that may be. so, to the extent that the congress functions -- and that is the key thing here -- we must get congress back on a path to functionality. so, to the extent that we function, that wi

i said before john boehner stepped down that the same people who are trying to take down john boehner were going to try to frag the next guy. that is what happened today. let's be honest about it. he was taken down by some of his own members. that's exactly what happened. we need to move forward. that is the reality of what happened. i want to follow up on one thing. i heard my colleague from kansas mention about conservatism. some people are trying to redefine conservatism. where i grew up and you grew up my idea of conservatism means things like order, control, stability, certainty, temperance, not anarchy, chaos. i think we need to get back to this. those of us who are more traditional have to reclaim the party and start talking about these issues. nobody wants to shut the government down. they don't want the country to default. >> you say nobody. if you are living out in idaho or utah or places like that where you have to vote for speaker or the person's name they were unwilling to say the name out loud on c-span. mccarthy. so they are afraid to put their name to someone else's na

the group that didn't like john boehner, groups taking on kevin mccarthy. i was told that kevin mccarthy pulled out at the last minute because he didn't want people to have to go out during the recess next week, town-hall meetings, this calcify until the speaker vote at the end of the month and then it's john boehner all over again. john boehner 2.0 and he didn't want to have to put the numbers through that. >> it's not a yea or nay vote. you have to put your name with someone else's name and those 40 members members of tea-party conservatives, the freedom caucus, it's katy bar the door. >> right. it's interesting how toxic the idea of who the speaker is. we heard a lot about pelosi. maybe not so much internally in the dem create part but republicans pete up nancy pelosi a lot. i dare anybody no toe know who tom foley was or back with jim rice. the speaker has a big target on their back, regardless who it is, and something that is very divisive here in the house of representatives, and getting to 218 is a challenge. that is an absolute majority of the entir

john: he is an intellectual, john boehner wasn't. mark: he would like for the good of his legacy to get these problems done. if john boehner says to ryan and conservatives, "you think ryan is the one that can save you? you have got to keep these problems from stopping the speakership." john: if i were ryan, this caretaker speaker thing floated on other fronts -- i don't really see what the upside is for that job. you either accept it or desire it, you should want it for the long run. mark: frankly, why would the house conference want an outsider as a speaker? the constitution is clear you don't have to be a member of the house. but they don't want a short timer. why would they want someone like nancy pelosi? it's a fantasy. you hear democrats and liberals say this is a way to do it in a bipartisan way. no, the republicans want a conservative speaker. john: the case for newt gingrich remains strong. mark: the two things we discussed -- why did he leave and what happens next? there are no clear answers. there is a meeting tomorrow to t

for now, longer than planned, john boehner will remain the speaker of the house. >> for his part, john boehner said that he will remain as speaker until a new speaker and elected, prompting a democrat who i spoke with to call him the once and future speaker. >> michael shure an capitol hill. jason johnson is a political science professor and al jazeera contributor. seems that congress has unlimited ability to cause chaos. did things go downhill for mccarthy when he a made comments last week about the benghazi committee, when he. >> i think it went downhill the moment the freedom party turned into the dysfunctional caucus. yes, saying what he said about hillary clinton was not helpful, and the fact that there seems to be a rumour that he cas carrying on even though there was no evidence of this. the rumour alone caused many to be concerned. it was a series of things that made him decide. he can be satisfied. he'll be majority house leader. >> talking about the freedom caucus. there was thoughts that he was resigning because he was fed up. there's a minority that can block elections. can

the expiration date on john boehner. they need to figure it out by then. >> releasing a statement saying he will stay on the job until a new person is elected. somebody gets 218 points. now we are starting from scratch. some people are talking about maybe a senior statesman. a caretaker through the 2016 election. a new congress. all options need to be on the table at this point. they are hoping that the colleagues will give them a closer look. >> thank you so much. continue staying on this story. boone pickens has been a strong supporter of the gop for decades. i will ask him what he makes on this shocking news. right after this. ♪ we're cracking down on medicare fraud. the health care law gives us powerful tools to fight it. to investigate it. prosecute it. and stop criminals. our senior medicare patrol volunteers are teaching seniors across the country to stop, spot and report fraud. you can help. guard your medicare card. don't give out your card number over the phone. call to report any suspected fraud. we're crack

miss john boehner? >> john boehner and i disagreed on just about everything. but the one thing i'll say about john boehner is he did care about the institution. he recognized that nobody gets 100% in our democracy. i won't say that he and i were ideal partners. but he and i could talk and we could get some things done. >> he and i could talk. we could get some things done, says the president on "60 minutes" yesterday. okay, maybe they could talk to each other. but there was actually a fair bit of evidence that they could not get some things done. john boehner took control, and i use that term loosely, of the house in 2011. and as speaker he has had the dubious distinction of presiding over the least productive congresses in modern history. the 112th congress passed 286 bills. the 113th got a little more done with 296 bills. but the combined productivity of the 112th and 113th congress is the lowest back-to-back of any congresses on record, which is 581 bills passed. compare that to the 110th and 111th c

boehner 2-0. >> what was wrong with john boehner? >> i think there was a sense that he didn't fight enough. he gave in. he didn't enforce the will of the house enough, and just gave up before the fight started. >> you just listened to that story in part about the difference between a washingtonian republican and freedom caucus republican. can you tell me what that is? >> again, i think there is a group--and i'll include myself in that, that wants to see congress go a little bit more to the right. they don't want to give up things before we put a bill on the senate table or on the president's desk. we've got to move forward. we've got to move forward with appropriations. quit doing these continuing resolutions. give all the authority to the white house. we want to use the power of the force the way the institutions intended it. >> so is there room, though, for republicans who were dually elected by their districts who are not as far to the right as you and your friends? >> absolutely. you got to come together. i think that the republi

a republican who has been with john boehner, a friend of john boehner. he mentioned paul ryan. i said to the congressman he said he doesn't want the job. i think congressman king said well, we'll see. >> it makes sense, right? he's somebody that has a conservative bona fide because of everything he's done. he was the vice presidental nominee in te2012. i know him pretty well. he wants to be back in wisconsin with his kids. he's reiterated that this is a full time job. not only because of what you have to do you're on capitol hill of getting these votes through on the floor but the amount of fund raising you have to do. you have to be the face of house republicans. it's a fulltime gig. the other thing about paul ryan, paul ryan's grandfather and his father both died young of heart disease. paul ryan is in good shape. he's very shape. he sees the light at the hend of the tunnel. he knows time on the earth is fleeting. even though he'll get pressure put on him. he'll say do i want to spend all my time having deal with this chaos which i have the job i've always wanted. i can push

that was the threat hanging over john boehner. it would have required another vote, sort of like a vote of confidence. and that is politically untenable. ryan's team says that's basically having a weapon pointed at the head of the speaker at all times on every issue. he wants to see that changed. but that's what gives that group of three dozen or so most conservative members their power. if they don't get what they want, if they don't feel like they're being heard, they can threaten to push the speaker out. that's been a powerful tool, certainly over john boehner. and that could be one of the issues that we'll need to see could they agree to that. so far, the early kind of comments from some of those freedom caucus members have been doubtful about whether they would go along with the vision that paul ryan has for a speakership, if he were to get in the race. not yet in officially. josÉ. >> luke, what is the vision paul ryan has if he does take this job? what are his priorities, and is there anybody on capitol hill that could unit

john boehner postponed the caucus election. chaf fats of utah and webster of florida are also running for the position. let's go live to washington where michael is standing by. he's been talking to some members of the republican caucus who were in that meeting. this has been a month of surprises for republicans. first, house speaker john boehner moved up his expected departure saying that he was only going to resign from the speakership but he was going to leave the house. that was a huge shock. now this. >> reporr: and randle, these are the kind of shocks that the conservatives in the republican caucus are happy about. happy to have boehner resign and mccarthy step down. the problem they have now is going forward. they won't get a candidate from the anecdotal evidence gathered here. people are starting to digest this now. the representative said he won't think about this until tomorrow. what it brings to mind, though, are two particular representatives, paul ryan of wisconsin and tre gowdy of south carolina, both who were cou

i like john boehner. if john boehner said to me take the bad vote, i would smile and say i would consider it that's because he was newt's boy. if john chadding came to me and said to me, hey, joe, listen this is a really bad deal, but i'm going to do it, and i think you should do it too, boom, i would do it because i trust john chadic. that's what you have with paul ryan that you will never have with kevin mccarthy and a lot of these other people on the leadership track. >> two discussions. ryan is in a tough position. one way a win-win, another way lose-lose. he takes this job, it's a suckier job. if he doesn't take the job, wait a second, you are not a leader. this is your call to arms, you didn't step in. the bigger discussion is right now the republican party is just a gang who couldn't shoot straight. say what you want about hillary clinton, her issues, she still is a candidate with gravitas. she's still a candidate. you have the republican party with a ship of fools other than trump who like him or

i got to give john boehner a lot of credit. i think he probably knew exactly the right moment when to leave. i think this conference, you know, we went through obviously a bit of a struggle to get here but we got to the right place and had the right person. yeah, whatever happens it all works out. it's a business that all's well that ends well. >> can you talk more about boehner and where he leaves the conference and the chamber? mr. cole: largest republican majority since 1928. he leaves us with a series of pretty impressive victories in divided government that goes all the way back to the beginning of his tenure, everything from massive reduction in the budget to saving the bush tax cuts to real entitlement reform to the end of earmarks. so it's pretty impressive. and today honestly he's doing exactly what he said as only john boehner would say, he's cleaning out the barn. he's giving paul ryan about as good of position to start from as he possibly could. taking care of the possibility of a real appropriations process. now we

apparently john boehner approached him. mccarthy wants him to be pressure. however, as howard said, it is a career ender, this job. even if you get the endorsement, guess what? you can't keep it. you can't b do what they want. >> and that's a question for folks who talk a lot about public service. how does paul ryan respond that this is not just service this is ambition. and molly, thank you for joining us. we're going to move to some other subjects. ben carson defending rupert murdoch in his controversial tweet over, quote, a real black president, end quote. and first, another important story we're watching tonight. the escalating crisis in syria. what can the u.s. do? ♪ ♪ ♪ (vo) making the most out of every mile. that's why i got a subaru impreza. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru.

john boehner could hang on longer. we are facing the debt limit, debt ceiling limit as you pointed out. the walter jones letter you pointed to, i first heard about it last night on rachel maddow's show. he put out a letter that was really shocking to everyone saying if anyone who is running for speaker has anything in their past and he himself cited the example of newt gingrich and bob livingston, both of whom stepped down under pressure. bob livingston after only a day or so when he was replacing newt gingrich, saying if anyone has a skeleton in their closet, even referring to card gyames or things that happen after 5:00. no one knew what he was alluding to but it certainly set off a lot of gossip. we don't know if that's the case here or if that was the case about someone else who was potentially in the race. who are the other candidates besides chaffetz who might have been going up? of course the majority leader candidates, that's the separate race that was to follow. that was pretty much a brawl. >> reporter: so th

first of all, john boehner said he would stay on as speaker. john can stay on and he'll be free to really make whatever agreements he can with the house republicans, senate republicans, with the president and move forward. we have to have a speaker. other candidates i would propose and someone like paul ryan or tom cole who are both very solid conservatives, they haven't burned any bridges. and they certainly would be very formidable candidates, but we have to get it done. we can't allow any group to be -- to hijack or basically be able to blackball. this is wrong. >> i know you've been in votes. you probably haven't been watching msnbc, but paul ryan has already said he's not interested in the job. >> i've heard that, but again maybe we can persuade ball. he's the real conscience of the party. i can strongly support paul. i know many people have said that, but i can understand why if he says he does not want to run, but again i can tell you there's a lot of support for paul and also i've mentioned for tom cole and then others are mentioned joh

john boehner talked about the american dream. john boehner, you are the personification of the american dream. >> as you all know, speaker boehner was a formidable spokesman for the republican agenda. my republican colleagues, i'm sure you know i can attest to the fact that he was always true and loyal to the members of his caucus in any negotiations we ever had. although we had our differences and often, i always respected his dedication to this house and his commitment to his values. thank you, john, for your leadership and courage as speaker. your graciousness as speaker extended and was reflected in your staff under the leadership of mike summers, whom we all respect. thank you to john boehner. >> i know i speak for everyone here, democrats and republicans, when i thank you for making the visit of his holiness, pope francis, such a beautiful and meaningful experience for all of us. we extend our thanks and congratulations to debbie, your daughters, lindsey and trisha, and the entire boehner family, including grandson, alisste

that's what cost john boehner his job two weeks ago. it's now what has cost kevin mccarthy his shot at a speakership, a job he's wanted for most of his adult life. john: which of course the fact that it cost mccathy the speakership keeps boehner in the speakership longer? >> he'll be there for possibly another couple of months while they figure this out. >> what happens now? if it's paul ryan or anyone else, won't they face the same sorts of things that the two past -- john harwood and -- john boehner and kevin mccarthy faced? >> it requires 218 votes to be elected speaker of the house. that means you can only lose 29 before you can't be elected. the house freedom caucus said this would be endorsing a different candidate over mccarthy. mccarthy could have won a house majority of the republicans but not necessarily a majority of the house at large. that would have forecasted a fight. we've started to hear some house freedom caucus members question paul ryan's credentials. >> do you think anyone can do this job? >> in a word, no. it is ve

speaker, they call "john-john." here is what i know about speaker john boehner. by iss the code he lives a simple one. do the right thing. for the right reasons. the right things will happen. i found that to be true. i find it to be true in our battles fighting side-by-side for conservative reform, sometimes from a position deep in the minority. many last share of moments, that is for sure, but he always strived to push forward. as iaid about john boehner today, he announced his retirement, grace under pressure, country, an institution before self, these are the things that come to mind when i think of him. i wish speaker john boehner the best in retirement and thank him for always working hard to do the right thing. for his family. for his district. for his party. for his country. farewell. my friend. monday, on the communicators, california representative anna eshoo, the top democrat on the house committee case and and technology committee discusses how congress should address cyber security and data breaches as well as the upcoming spectrum auction. she is joi

john boehner plans to step down at the end of this month. an investigative journalist won the nobel prize in literature. they called her work a monument to suffering and courage. the journalist from belarus chronicled tragedies from the soviet union and its collapse including eyewitness accounts from world war ii, the soviet war in afghanistan and the chernobyl disaster. i'm tony harris in new york. the news continues next live from london. >> coming up. >> these violations of turkish air space are unacceptable. >> nato denounces russia's actions in syria and vows to defend its allies. >>> attacks in jerusalem and tel aviv heightened tensions across israel. >>> yemen's hospitals are overwhelmed as the war drags on. >>

will he face the same road blocks that did john boehner in? , the sudden loss of pasture became a serious problem for a family business. faced with horses that needed feeding and a texas drought that sent hay prices soaring, the owners had to act fast. thankfully, mary miller banks with chase for business. and with greater financial clarity and a relationship built for the unexpected, she could control her cash flow, and keep the ranch running. chase for business. so you can own it. >>> jeb bush is the topic of today's bing pulse question. will jeb bush win the republican nomination? go to pulse.msnbc.com to weigh in. we will share the results as we go. >>> now to the campaign trail. two front runners on the republican side, dr. ben carson and donald trump both saying they performed well at last night's presidential debate. trump had nothing but glowing reviews for his own performance. but carson is already criticizing the format of the debate and insisting on changes for the next one. >> so clearly demonstrates the need for a change in format

the hell-no caucus has been the bane of john boehner's existence. and it continues to be a problem for the republican party. it's very hard for them to coalesce around a leader when they can't coalesce around an agenda. there are republicans who don't want to shut the government down. mccarthy didn't want to shut the government down. webster wants to shut the government down. i think they smell blood in the water when mccarthy made that mistake on benghazi. and they are continuing. i think the question now is whether they are emboldened to continue or whether john boehner can find a way before he leaves the congress to make sure that the government does not get shut down. i'm sure he's going to try, but i'm not sure he could do it. >> ryan even congressman webster said he was shocked by mccarthy's decision not to run for speaker. we know he was telling people, mccarthy, as early as 8:00 a.m. this morning only a few hours before the actual meeting that he was still in the race. what happened? >> i don't think we know yet, wolf. i think it's very, ver
