leadership crisis we are now seeing. >> john dickerson, moderator of "face the nation is with us. john, good morning. so the question is what happened to mccarthy? what is happening to the republican party? and is the tail wagging the dog? >> well, there is wagging all over the place. i mean, the dogs are running amuck, i guess is the answer. the problem is there is nobody who can get 218 votes which is the number of republicans you need to be elected speaker. before mccarthy made this bombshell announcement i talked to a member who was trying to count votes for him. he said he can win in the conference of what is supposed to be happening yesterday but they didn't think they could win 218 on the house floor which would be a public embarrassment for him and the problem nobody can still get those 218 votes. >> the number of republicans in the entire caucus is? >> 247. >> right. so can anybody win without the freedom caucus which is about 40
7:07 am
votes and is it clear that paul ryan has the votes of the freedom caucus? >> the 40 on votes, their argument in the freedom caucus we were given the majority and we have buckled and not stood firm. now that they have gotten john boehner and kevin mccarthy out, that kept them feeling good and why do they want to buckle? their job is to stand firm. >> what do they want? >> a harder line from the republican leadership to enforce conservative principles. one said we want the house speaker to take on senate minority leader mitch mcconnell the republican leader in the senate and make him tougher. anybody who knows about the senate knows it's rare for the senate to tell the senate majority leader what to do. their demands is a high bar and kevin mccarthy said i can't meet their demands. >> paul ryan is laid out as the compromise candidate. >> the house ways and means committee, his announcement
7:08 am
broke the sound barrier, because he doesn't want to get involved in this and the reason is paul ryan has had lots of fights with these conservatives over fiscal matters, over the ryan/murray budget and the government shutdown and it doesn't make sense he would be the bridge building consensus. >> the house ways and means can do a lot of thing about the economy and tax reform and all of that. >> if he wants to be president there is no road to the presidency through the house speakership because it's a tough job, as we are seeing. >> can anybody control these people that represent the freedom caucus? can anybody in the republican party deal with this. >> right now, it doesn't look like anybody can. >> because unless they get their by, they are willing to take the house down? >> well, yeah. because they think the house has been selling out republicans and conservatives for the last many years. finally their chance to stop that. >> thanks, john. >> on "face the nation" on sunday john will have the latest for the speaker of the house

asked president obama in a new interview for this sunday's "60 minutes." here is a preview. >> reporter: a year when we did this interview there was some saber rattling between the united states and russia on the ukrainian border and going on this week in russia. mr. putin seems to be challenging that leadership. >> in what way? let's think about this. >> reporter: he has moved troops into syria for one. he has got people on the ground. >> right. >> two the russians are conducting military operations in the middle east for the first time since world war ii arming the people that we are spoust ing -- supporting? >> that is leading, steve? let me ask you this question. when i came into office, ukraine was governed by a corrupt leader who was a stooge of mr. putin.

7:14 am
yeah. he said that -- it's sort of taken fear out of the equation. he doesn't have to be quite so careful about what he says. and i think you're seeing some of that. i think you saw -- maybe saw a little bit of it foreshadowing of it in the comments he made after this last school shooting. i think he is really -- he is sort of holding his ground. >> and he knows these things will extend beyond his watch and his ability to impact. >> right. we also talked about boehner. and we talked about the situation with the republicans in congress. >> can't wait.

i'm chris bosh. when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto . hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your sk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding.
8:51 am
unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. treatment with xarelto . ...was the right move for us.
