>> it was never my intention to become a cantor. men were cantors. when i first heard that women were becoming cantors i was shocked and appalled. i didn't kuwait know where to go with it. i was still pursuing on opera career and start song career. i wanted to be a resitlist. i moved away from that in my teen years and started focusing on classical music training and had very intense studies in classical music, which was my first passion. i had a very wide range of experience in all kinds of music through my mother's purchasing of recordings of all sorts of music. it was constantly playing in the house. music was my focus and passion. i knew i was going to be in music someday. i studied at the manhattan school of music, went to high school of music and art. i was saturated with it. it was in my dna. after a while, after leaving manhattan school of music i was kind of wandering around new york entering competitions and trying to find my way. eventually i wound up in israel singing opera in israel. >> for the israel opera company. >> yes. it was an int

remember old eric cantor? eric cantor used to be the number two guy in congress.lost his seat. we now know that speaker boehner was planning to resign last year, so eric cantor could step up and be the new speaker of the house. but then when, shock, eric cantor instead lost his seat in a primary to a right-wing tea party upstart, obviously that plan fell apart. that's why john boehner says he stayed on until now. but when eric cantor died that bizarre political death the republicans had to scramble to rebuild their leadership team. and in the end when they had to do that unexpectedly they decided to take a hard right turn. the man who would have been the first jewish speaker of the house in the history of the united states, eric cantor, was effectively replaced in the republican leadership by a congressman who once called himself david duke without the baggage, and who was known in his home state for speaking at a white supremacist klan gathering. i mean, i know everybody thinks that lucky lucky kevin mccarthy is inevitably going to become speaker of the house, bu

now let's bring in cantor fitzgerald ceo shawn matthews.al, shawn, when all was said and done? >> approximately $12 million. we just did a trade 30 seconds ago so we're still counting but approximately 12 million. >> are these all equity trades? >> no. across the entire firm fixed income equities. it was a great day and our partners and our employees did a great job. >> who was the best? don't be shy. who was the most effective? >> it's always hard to say who's the best 3750 cent brought a lot of energy, walked in, started screaming, yelling. it was a lot of fun. everyone did a great job. everyone in their own way contributes to helping this be a great day for everyone. >> we also think about there's so much change in those 14 years. the reason i was asking if it's just stock trades because i'm thinking of another big broker dealer who said, you know, in 2000 they had 600 people on the phones doing cash equities and today they have 5. how much more evolution are we likely to see in terms of the business that actually gets done over the phon

what happened was eric cantor out of nowhere -- in eric cantor's mind, john boehner felt that he hadhang on. he had made up his mind last night. you found him weeping when the pope was with him. i think he was holding out for the pope's visit. >> when you talk to people in his network, yesterday was a peak for him. he had worked for two decades to get the pope to washington. he has a personal moment with the pope that he describes during this press conference where the pope asked john boehner to pray for the pope. he's told a story over and over again according to multiple people. i think -- not that the pope's visit was the reason he resigned. i think yesterday there was a sense of almost calm. ok, i've done it. it is time to go. that might have been peak, because he knew what was coming. reaction to john boehner's announcement was swift. in many cases, it was completely predictable, especially among 2016ers. kasich andd john chris christie complimen the speaker. at the values voter summit in washington, marco rubio got this reaction when he broke john boehner news. fewtor rubio: ju

at the end of the year, and confirming what many of us expected for sometime and that is if eric cantor had not lost his primary in that -- that big upset to yet another tea party conservative, dave brat outside of richmond, john boehner might not even be the speaker to begin with. so if what he says is to be taken at face value, this is something he had been considering a long time. and really, it is a very difficult task ahead of who receiver the next speaker of the house because of this casm in the republican party. they are not going to sit on their hands this time when the leadership tries to push through. because they see donald trump, ben carson, leading in the poles. they interpret that as the base of the republican party wants them to move forward and fight against the establishment. the establishment embodied by the leaders in washington, john boehner and mitch mcconnell. >> yeah, and taking a step back, you mentioned what happened with cantor and how jarring that was when he lost that election in virginia. and the challenge then to the establishment was the tea party, and as

what happened was eric cantor come out of nowhere -- in eric cantor's mind, he lost.n boehner felt that he had to hang on. he had made up his mind last night. you saw him weeping when the pope was with him. i think he was holding out for the pope's visit. after that, he had nothing left to prove. phil when you talk to people in : his network, yesterday was a peak for him. he had worked for two decades to get the pope to washington. he has this very personal moment with the pope that he described during the press conference where the pope asked john boehner to pray for the pope. the impact that had on john boehner, you saw it, he told the story over and over again. i think not that the pope's , visit was the reason he resigned. i think yesterday there was a sense of almost calm. the sense of ok, i've done it. , it is time to go. margaret: it was not going to get any better. phil that might have been peak, : because he knew what was coming. reaction to john boehner's announcement was swift. in many cases, it was completely predictable, especially among 2016ers. establis

speaker boehner and majority leader cantor made a pledge to america to replace obamacare, reform fanniefreddie and for sanctions in iran, role back nondiscretionary spending so who pet the expectations? the speaker and eric cantor set the expectations when they were running for office and i hope they mean to keep our promises when we put them in leadership and -- >> i understand what you're saying, sir. i think you have heard the rap. there's only so much someone can do if you don't have the two-thirds majority, dealing with a president in the white house, you're quite right to say if you hadn't telegraphed the lem additions. that do you want to see now? is kevin mccarthy the guy most likely name as a possible replacement for speaker boehner, your guy or would who would you be for? >> it's not about being clever if mean it. when you own the house and the senate you have the power of the purse, and so speaker boehner said -- i said we would fight tooth and nail on president obama's unstucksal amnesty. if we had, two majorities in the house and senate and i meant is, boehner said. what is

fox that's why you're here raising money. >> they've been so generous to us, cantor fitzgerald. been so supportive of our foundation, people may not know that they don't just deal with 9/11-oriented charities, their generosity goes across the board. >> beyond to charities like yours, tell us, what are some of the things that your foundation is working on right now? >> we started out to find a cure for parkinson's and that's a difficult task. and we found when we got into the work, we had to reinvent the way it was done. a lot of times you have academic research and corporate research and pharma and everything piled on in government silos and we need to tip the silos over and turn them into pipelines. we woshlg with pharma and all areas of research and we're making a difference. >> that's great. tell us, do you have any projects coming up? are we going to be seeing you on tv? seeing you on the big screen at all? >> some people may have seen me as a weasely lawyer on "the good wife" and i'll continue to weasel my way around on "the good wife" for a few episodes. >> i know a lot of

eric cantor is no longer in congress. he was the presumed front-runner to always be boehner's replacement until he lost to the type of republican who was back by outside groups nobody really saw coming. not is a party that does necessarily have a structural, coherent direction going forward. it is broken in groups now. you have people that have a lot of power on the outside, through social media and advocacy groups, that put pressure on leaders. -- andnge we will see what could have been -- is that john boehner was willing to take youbullet is say whatever want about john boehner, he was a conservative, a republican, but he understood in his role as speaker, he would be the one to fall on his sword to make sure that the government would run or the united states. its bills-- or the united states paid its bills. tom: to that point, tom o davis, are you going to the conference this summer? >> i have been a delegate the past six summers. given the makeup of the party, it would be difficult. the party base has moved apart. it

at this point the cantor fitzgerald relief fund has raised, it's incredible, $250 million in total.t is for families, that is for other charities, that is for other disasters. i mean, really howard lutnick, the chair, who's standing next to me and is going to give me a hard time about mispronouncing his name -- [laughter] howard, i though that you've got a goal of 12 million today. you were telling me that the volatility's good, and it's good for a day like today so you can raise more money and give more to charity. >> right. our company loves volatility. the busier it is, a little chaos, a little excitement, that creates volume. and so, you know, fridays can be a little quiet, so we're really excited that it's been volatile, it's keeping the markets up and exciting. so far we're running really, really neck and neck with last year, so hopefully we can get that final push. >> how has it broad ped out for you, howard? you know, it's been 14 years, and i'm sure every year you want to continue to raise money, continue to -- well, never forget. how do you do that this year, 14 years late

eric cantor's stunning defeat in his own primary.ed he would stick around another year or two. he did not want another long, drawnout battle. he said let's hold a snap election and they held it nine days later. oneost on a tuesday and week and two days later they had elections. this time there might be more positions up for grabs, and potentially more candidates. now,ght be two weeks from or a lengthier assess, but boehner has made clear that he is out of here friday, october 30. host: who do you think they will put forward? mccarthy? some of the other likely candidates? is very: kevin mccarthy much likely to be the republican nominee for speaker. there would be a floor vote, he does not have a lot of opposition. he is generationally younger and closer in age to a lot of the conservatives. they don't necessarily trust him, but they see him as generationally closer to them. there might be a nominal challenge, which is what happened in 2014 when he moved up to majority leader, but i think the bigger fight is going to be for the number

eric cantor lost the primary, and we had to change majority leaders. he decided to stay on for another year. he was originally planning to stay through the end of this calendar year, and then he looked at the state of the conference and the fact that there was disunity and there would be another tough vote to reaffirm his speakership, which i think would have passed easily. why put everybody through that vote? he felt it was time to go ahead and get out of the way. the problembecome to us achieving those common goals. what did you think think when you first heard the announcement? this man made the most selfless decision you can expect any leader to make. in the first hour and a half, you heard person after person come up to the microphone and give positive testimony about what he has done for the country and our conference. it gave us a rallying cry so that we can come back together and unify. i think that he really laid the stage for us to have that unification. david: when speaker boehner said that he had delayed his decision because eric cantor had

what happened with eric cantor is that things got locked up. i don't think it is going to happen that way this time. he has done a superb job and has a lot of distinct service. he's the speaker. for powerful position. great job. distinguished service since 1990. we're going to be looking for new leader so that we can move forward and have a unified republican party. i don't know why he did this, votet is clear a votif a was called, he would not have the votes to sustain. this would be a time if somebody wants to stand up to him as a leader. the next leader has a top job. -- the next leader has a tough job. john boehner understood that there was the possibility leave. -- to the next speaker is going to have to understand. it's a personal decision. i am not going to second-guess his decision. it is his decision, not mine. i don't like the circumstances under which he is leaving. that?t do you mean by does this have to do with the possibility of a shutdown? i feel confident that we will pass the clean, continuing resolution. >> is this kind of a q

when eric cantor lost the primary and we had to change majority leaders he decided to stay on for another year. he was planning on staying through the end of this calendar year. then he looked at the state of the conference and the fact that there was disunity and that there could be another tough vote to reaffirm his speakership which i think would have passed fairly easily but he decided, for the good of the conference, why put everybody through that vote? so he felt like it was time to go ahead and let him get out of the way. so he's not the subject. he doesn't become the problem to us achieving those common goals that we have in the conference. susan: what was the reaction in the room, and what did you think when you heard him announce it? rep. flores: i think all of us were pretty stunned. we were stunned at first but then we thought, you know this man has made the most selfless decision you could expect any leader to make and so i think we, for the next hour and a half or so, we heard person after person come up to the to the microphone and give positive tom about what john boehner

we're told this is in the works for sometime, but after eric cantor's stunning defeat he held things off. now you have the markets seemingly sensing, we're less likely to see a government shutdown now. do you buy that? >> i don't. boehner wasn't the problem, it was the caucus that was the problem versus the tea party, right? so mccarthy or other is the next speaker, i don't know what fight they're going to have. the tea party is going to put up a fight. we have a shutdown looming and the issue of planned parenthood isn't off the table. is it speaker going to call a deal with the allies in the caucus saying let's not shut the party. boehner was in trouble because the democrats weren't bailing him out. they said you're on your own, we're not saving you. neil: constant crying. >> it's bizarre, you don't resign unless there is a scandal brewing, i'm not suggesting there is. you don't resign randomly a week before a potential government shutdown in october. >> that crying yesterday, something is going on. >> he cries at everything. >> not like that. not like five boxes of tissue. i'm goin

planned initially when he became speaker to stay for two terms, and ended up staying because eric cantornge from the right, he decided to stay, and that we knew when we knew and had reported that cantor's loss meant that boehner would stay longer, but the fact that it was decide and done so abruptly is shocking to everybody, and even people who are quite close to him. >> all right. dana, thank you very much, and we know that you will be finding out the motivations for this before anybody else, and please, let us know, and anderson, this is one of the moments when you need to really hear from john boehner and he going to be speaking in a few moments, because if he decided, maybe, maybe the reason that he did it so abruptly is because of something very central and known about john boehner is because of the emotion, that maybe he felt that once it is time to go, and it did not matter that the pope was here, and it did not matter that he was going to be leaving until october 30th that he wanted to get it done. >> get it done. >> and that is consistent with somebody who is emotional as he is,

things had seemed to settle down after eric cantor lost last june. who admits did a act that he wanted to retire, but kanter was gone and he felt like he needed to be a veteran presence, after the last year, 15 months, things have settled down for boehner. there were still constant chirps from conservatives that did not think enough things were going to write way. then games these controversial videos revealing abortion practices by planned parenthood. for the last two months-plus, conservatives have taken that issue and set what we have to do is shut down the government to force obama and the democrats to come to the table and agreed to shut off all funding for planned parenthood. democrats have made clear that is not the case. a have taken the votes and demonstrated their willing to support land parenthood still. it was only $500 million a year. the organization says none of that money goes toward abortion practices they were ready to stand and fight democrats. if they gows that down this alley into a shutdown that they will get blown up, it will b

, and how that affected boehner's ability to resign at the time he wanted to. >> eric cantor who was the number two in the house was primary, he was beat in a shocking turn of events by a conservative in his own virginia district. that was totally unexpected, and so when the writing was on the wall that -- that he would not be returning to congress; that he would have no -- no future there for the time being, really shook things up, and changed the succession and game plan, so speaker boehner stuck around longer than planned, because he no longer has eric cantor to turn things over to. so the speaker may have hung in there. he has gone through a lot of intention battles in his five years as speaker, including a previous government shutdown fight in which he tried to convince his caucus, let's not do this, and they wanted to do it anyway, lead by people like ted cruz. i'm so sorry to interrupt you earlier, but as fe look at who might vie to rise, paul ryan has indicated he does not want this job right now, which may be savvy move by him. this is going to be a very tough job. you may s

our leadership, speaker boehner, eric cantor had the pledge to america, the pledge to keep sanctions on iran, to make progress on the budget. eric cantor, interestingly and kind of ironically, had a document called keeping our commitments on obamacare and said that even if we can't get rid of it in all one swoop, we want to defund it piece by piece by piece by piece. that was a promise he made. and so now when some folks in leadership are saying that, well, we really can't keep those promises, our constituents differ with them. when we run on those things, it matters. and now that we're in office and we expect our leaders to hold true on those as well. and so when it comes to picking horses, i don't think any of us are going to commit right here, but i think all of us are very attached to the idea that we want our leaders to put their ideas down on paper. we want to share those with the american people and that's what this country's about. >> congressman perry, let me ask you, on the four issues that i think they have really failed the conservative base and broken promises, that is d

>> well, let me say, first of all, john mentioned my old boss, eric cantor. when eric cantor lost a primary in june of last year, one of the first people to call the majority leader and wish him well and talk to him was joe biden. that's the kind of guy that joe biden is. he cares about people. he cares about people regardless of whether they're republicans for democrats and that shows. one of the things i heard from a lot of people last night e-mailing in between commercial breaks, the really raw and emotional and great television, was what a contrast we're seeing. hillary clinton's campaign last week said after 23 years in public life, she's finally going to show her human and her humorous side and actually have some planned rigid spontaneity involved. for joe biden for his entire public life, we have seen the heart and soul of that man. it's why so many people on both sides, whether they agree with him on this issue or that issue, everybody likes and respects joe biden because he's just such a good person. shows this real grace that's rare in american poli
