the top of the list? kevin mccarthy. he's been house majority leader since last year when former virginia congressman eric cantor lost his bid for reelection and before that he spent three years as majority whip. he was elected to congress in 2006 and represents an area of california that encompasses bakersfield and he's a former deli owner back when he was 21 years old he opened a deli. how did he get the money? he won it from a scratch-off lottery ticket and invested that money in ball wall and spent years in the california general assembly. on the issues he's considered somewhat moderate. mccarthy said he's the first republican in his family. moderate on issues like immigration and considered more conservative on others like the economy and abortion. the right to life committee gives him a 100% rating. as for speaker boehner, well, his resignation is likely good news for republican voters.

he was there to wash and treat wounds on her lower back. according to police while he was alone with the patient in her apartment he sexually assaulted her. news of that assault sent shock waves through the in-home nursing community. >> to hear that someone abused the trust in the worst way possible is horrifying for me and i know all of my colleagues who work at home will have the same reaction. >> according to police after he sexually assaulted the patient he asked her, how did you like it? when she asked him to stop he did it again and again he asked her, how did you like it? the woman called for help, but nobody heard her. she told police. the nurse then exposed himself before leaving. medricstar released a statement saying he had passed all of the background checks and when they learned of the serious allegations against him they immediately suspended him and launched an internal

investigation. when he refused to cooperate they immediately terminated his employment. now i just spoke with d.c. police and they say this investigation is ongoing and they're asking anyone in the public who may know of other victims to give police a call. coming up at 6:00, we'll tell you how you can protect yourself or a loved one if you ever have to bring a nurse into your home. mark segraves, thank you, mark. a white house staffer who died in a charity biking event was laid to rest today. jake brewer lost control of his bike and was hit by a car last week and while he was taking part in the ride to conquer cancer fund-raiser, brewer worked as a senior policy adviser in the white house of science and technology. his widow who is pregnant remembered him for the, quote, ever-present twinkle in his eye. president obama said brewer had a big heart and an insatiable desire to give back. flowers and mementos adorn the

murray. first, will this have any impact at all for the government shutdown? does it lessen the odds of that? >> i do think in the short term it does less than this. essentially john boehner has a choice to make. is it my job on the line or the government shutdown and he basically put his job on the sacrificial table and the reason being that he now has the freedom and flexibility to work with democrats to avoid a government shutdown at least in the short term. long term, you know, the same, the next speaker will encounter a lot of the same problems that john boehner did 30 to 50 house republicans who would eventually vote again any kind of compromise. that was john boehner's biggest difficulty in the last four years. >> 15 years up on the hill and he's going to give it all up for this? what do you think motivated him to make this announcement today? >> the timing was interesting. he had his signature achievement having the pope address congress and a lot of people thought

maybe this was the reason why after accomplishing one of the top goals in public life, in life in general, it was time to step down. our own luke russert asked john boehner and boehner said the pope didn't have anything to do with it, but he did say it was such a very big moment. essentially john boehner went to bed last night and chatted with his wife and said now is the time to do it? out to the links. he's a big golfer. a lot of people can relate to that. thank you, mark. pat? >> a gas leak and growing concern. what's being done to make sure this northern virginia community is safe? plus some local kids are following the pope to philly. why they're hitting the road with the pontiff on this
