if the president had a vote in the house republican conference in terms of who they were going to be speaker of the house, i would suspect announce an endorsement, since he doesn't, we are going to respect the right that house republicans have to choose the next speaker of the house. look, this is part of being in the majority. when you are elected, you are going to determine the outcome of the speaker's race and that's not something that anybody in the senate can influence and not something the president can influence or the members of the minority party of the house can influence as a practical matter. this is a decision that is left to house republicans. and as i mentioned earlier, the willingness of idealogs in the house republican caucus to put their views ahead of the functioning of the u.s. to put t has led them their own i'd loling to the effective governing of the house republican caucus and makes the next job of the speaker a tough one. reporter: what is the nature of the support that the united states gives to those elements in the opposition militarily? josh: i don't have

house republicans gather this morning in a closed-door meeting amid the chaos created when kevin mccarthy surprised everyone and dropped out of the race to replace john boehner as house speaker. pressure is mounting on former vice presidential candidate paul ryan to step up now and accept the job he's insisted he doesn't want. here's kevin mccarthy just in the past hour. >> we have very good conference, working together, trying to work together. i know a lot of speculation about who should run and others. paul is looking at it, but it's his decision. if he decides to do it, he'd be an amazing speaker, but he's got to decide on his own. >>> and in today's "gut check" powered by bing pulse, we're asking you, what does your gut tell you? do you think that paul ryan will change his mind and run for speaker? cast that vote at pulse.msnbc.com. let me bring in nbc's luke russert. he joins us live now on capitol hill. a couple of things there, this behind closed-door meeting. what have you learned? and let's compare what paul ryan said to you yesterday, luke, when you were chasing him down yester

. >>> the end of a rough week for house republicans as hillary clinton comes up victorious. can paul ryan change things up as house speaker? a growing number of republicans certainly hope so. i'm richard wolffe. in the same 24 hour time span t congressman paul ryan said he is in for the speaker job. two huge events with far reaching impact on what comes next. first benghazi and the reviews are in. hillary clinton was a commanding presence through an 11-hour marathon that back fired. after the hearing wrapped up committee chair admitted the grueling interrogation had gone nowhere. >>. >> things you learned to? >> i think some of jimmy jordan's questioning -- we knew some of that already. we knew about e-mails. in terms of her testimony i don't know that she testified that much differently today than previous time she testified. i would have to look at the transcript. >> today the democrats on the panel called on the speaker to shut it down saying there is no remaining doubt that the benghazi select committee is a taxpayer-funded fishing expeition de. speaker john boehner named

house republicans are regrouping after a shocking announcement in the race for house speaker. john boehner' s likely successor kevin mccarthy dropped out of the race leaving many wondering who will take the coveted position. abc' s karen travers has more on this speaker shakeup. karen: house republicans huddling today on capitol hill , discussing their next move. rep. mccarthy: we had very good conference, working together, trying to work together. karen: majority leader kevin mccarthy abruptly taking himself out of the race for house speaker yesterday. rep. mccarthy: if i can' t unite everybody, it' s better to find someone who will. karen: his sudden and very unexpected withdrawal throwing house republicans into chaos. rep. sanford: nobody knows anything at this point. karen: mccarthy had the support of the overwhelming majority of house republicans, but far-right members refused to say they would unite behind him. so who is in the running? representative paul ryan of wisconsin. his party' s vice presidential contender just three years ago, he says he doesn' t want it, but m

he is the republican speaker of the house. do you assess his legacy because so many other , republicans have been so critical and ungracious since he left. you worked closely with him. what is his legacy and what kind of the speaker was he? congresswoman rodgers: i had the opportunity to work closely with speaker boehner, and through the years i really believe that he was the right man at the right time to be leading us. it did not mean that every member agreed with every decision. and there was a lot of people suggesting that speaker boehner should have made different decisions, could have gotten something done, more than what he did. what i saw in speaker boehner was someone that was trustworthy. i think day in and day out, that is why he remained speaker as long as he did. the members really did trust him when they told him something. they knew that he was not playing games. and the second part was that he made decisions based upon what he thought was good and right for america at the end of the day. and for me, i may not al

(202) 745-8002 for independents. send us a tweet @cspanwj, or join the conversation on facebook.com/c-span. we will get your thoughts here in just a moment, but joining us on the set this morning, robert costa, political reporter for the "washington post." first, 8:00, house republicans will go behind closed doors. what will happen? guest: they will gather in the basement of the capitol, a room called hc5. they are going to hear from the candidates for speaker. today is an internal party vote. it is not the floor vote. this is the decision who is going to succeed speaker boehner. we have webster from florida, a long shot from popular conservatives. you have the presumptive next speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy. then you have the late

of house republicans skeptical about that. here's what republican primary voters say they want from the next house speaker. 56% want the next speaker to stand up for principles. 40% want the next speaker to seek compromises. joining us now are charlie cook, editor and publisher of "the cook political report" and nbc news political analyst. also with us, kurt anderson host of "studio 360" and april ryan, white house correspondent and white house bureau chief for urban radio networks. that 61% number saying that house republicans are dysfunctional as manifest by their inability to select a speaker, do you know any polling precedent for that in the house? >> well, i find it very encouraging. it means that people are paying attention to the news because, you know, i think even a lot of house republicans i know would tell you right now dysfunctional there. but, no, no, we've -- congress has always held in low regard. but, you know, we're at probably a peak period right now. >> steve kornacki spoke to mo brooks today about this impea

ryan said he wants to know by friday if all 247 house republicans will support him. w this could be a heavy lift. he wants support ranging from the tea party supporters to the moderate. for house spubs, it's back to square one, by speaker boehner, he was driven out late last month. >> thanks,. another huge political question this morning, will today finally at last be the day that vice president joe biden announces if he is running for president? the answer is, who the heck knows? what we do know is that all of a sudden he is offering frequent stark contrast between himself and hillary clinton. hmm. why? so he praises hillary clinton as secretary of state, but he's been noting that he was sent in as a closer with foreign leaders. he claims he spends upwards of seven hours a day with president obama and most notably is vice president is taking deeply veiled shots, in which he counts the republicans among the enemies he is proud of making. >> it is possible, it is necessary, to end this notion. let's end this notion that the enemy is the other party. end this notion tha

house republicans burst out of that room like a house on fire. they said they were stunned. that's the word people used over and over and over again. republican congressman mark sanford from south carolina used the word "mayhem" to describe what happened inside that room. mayhem. he said a number of republican members of congress were crying inside the meeting room. npr reported that the crying, the sobbing of multiple republican members of congress was audible to people who were there at the capitol. kevin mccarthy himself then addressed reporters, again, standing alongside his family. >> come on over, guys. come on up. come on up. all right. i think i shocked some of you, huh? listen, we've been going through this campaign talking to a lot of members, but the one thing i've always said to earn this majority, we're servants. we should put this conference first. and i think there's something to be said for us to unite we probably need a fresh face. i'll stay on as majority leader. but the one thing i found in talking to everybody, if we are going to unite and be strong, we ne

and i'm sure all those house republicans who hate establishment republicans would gladly have newt gingrich back. >> everybody today has been saying there's nothing in the constitution saying it has -- everybody has fun with that, maybe the pope will get elected speaker. but part of it is that it doesn't seem like there's anyone except for paul ryan, right? and if you're paul ryan right now, everyone is telling you you have to say yes. what do you do if you're paul ryan? >> well, i'm going to tweet out that i'm available too to come back. apparently i saw that darrell issa threw his name in. i'm clearly more qualified than darrell issa. anyone who looks at the basic fundamentals knows the job. first of all, it's an important job. even if you're not a republican it's an important job. >> it's literally the second most powerful -- >> you've got a couple of tough things to counter any circumstance, negotiating with the president isn't easy, dealing with your own members even in the best of circumstances is difficult. the irony here is that having big majorities is actually better than having a

the house republicans, this minority within the republican majority, they don't want any dealings with this white house at owl or agreement or want washington to do anything. they want washington to get out of everybody's business and stop trying to fix problems. for the second time in less than three weeks they've had a victory. >> david shuster, tanned by please. we'll be right back right after this. but it's real. and we show you like no-one else can. this is our american story. this is america tonight. >>> bag to the local news of the day. kevin mccarthy takes his name out of the running to be the new house speaker. that comes as a huge surprise for house republicans as they gather to vote on the next speaker. the current house speaker, john boehn boehner, has postponed that election. representative jason chaffetz of utah and daniel webster of florida are running for the position also. we go to michael standing by on capitol hill. earlier you were interviewing a member of the republican caucus, and he seemed to suggest there was a possibility that mccarthy might change his mind and

red-hot focus groups, but first red-hot house republicans. kevin mccarthy is donezo. will not be be house speaker. here is how he announced he was dropping out of the race to run a house of representatives this afternoon. >> i think i shopped some of you, ifshocked some of we are going to unite and be strong, we need a new face to help you do that. nothing more than that. i feel good about the decision. i have been talking with members, thinking about this, trying to get there. i just think it is best to have a new face. this benghazi committee was only created for one purpose -- to find the truth on behalf of the families of the four dead americans. i should not be a distraction from that. that is part of the decision as well. mark: there's a lot to unpack here, why mccarthy left. and what happens next. let's start with his decision he , says it's because he did not think he could unify the house republicans. what are the reasons that this guy will not be speaker? why did he start the day thinking he was running, and then pull out? john: this is a rarity in politics.

sally: and that's only if house republicans agree to several demands. he wants endorsements from the house gop caucuses, changes to the rules to make it more difficult to oust the speaker, and there's this -- rep brian -- representative ryan i cannot and will not give up my : family time. sally: prompting freedom caucus member tim huelskamp to quip that the speaker's job is not a 9 to 5 gig. the 40 member block of conservative hardliners has already endorsed congressman daniel webster for the role. >> the only concern that i have right now is that it appears that he's asking for more power to be in the speaker's office instead of less power. sally: outgoing speaker john boehner says ryan would make a great speaker of the house. >> i think paul is going to get the support he's looking for. he laid out very clear vision of how he would run the speakership and i think the members responded very well to it. sally: ryan had said previously that he doesn't want the job. >> he shouldn't take it. it would probably be politically disastrous for him. no one is goi

house would be too far right. >> camerini: to republicans, democrats' effort w down the negotiations feel like politics, not policy. the group of 8 becomes 7, then fizzles out. for some democrats, that's good. they want the house to have no choice but to call a vote on the senate bill, with its more generous path to citizenship. and that's what advocates want too. >> this is a moral stand for us. >> of course. >> how could we say we're okay with us getting citizenship and we're gonna say, "go ahead, deport our parents"? >> exactly. you can just say, "here's why we decided." >> i really just want to focus on the morality of this. >> robertson: they call themselves dreamers, these young people who were brought to the united states as children, grew up here and graduated from high school like everybody else, but all without legal papers. the name dreamer comes from the dream act, a law that never passed in congress, but would have given them legal status. >> so as we hear and we move into the house of representatives in this fight for immigration reform... >> robe

. >> it is, a major action on capitol hill, house republican leaders passing a budget agreement. house leaders placebo, at least they hoep, there are enough votes to pass the bill as soon as today. this is despite pretty strong opposition from some republicans that feel boehner gave too much away. >> it's an actual bipartisan compromised, which hasn't happened in washington a lot lately in the agreement isn't good by any means. the alternative is a clean debt ceiling release, without any entitlement reforms. so this is a good deal. >> it's hard for me not to use profanity in describing it. it's a bill that shows careless disregard for debt. it will raise the debt with no limit. it basically is a blank check to raise money and spend as much until march, 2017. >> rand paul says he will filibuster. also, today, house republicans are expected to nom flooit nate ryan. ryan was not involved over the budget deem. he says the secret stinks, although, he won't say whether he supportings it or not. it might stink, but he might be willing to clean it up. >> cleaning up the barn for him. a gr

he says it's because he did not think he could unify the house republicans.hat are the reasons that this guy will not be speaker? why did he start the day thinking he was running, and then pull out? john: this is a rarity in politics. his colleagues were shocked when he made this announcement. the explanation is that he gave seems to me is plausible, but carries a faint aroma of horse pucky. mark: a lot of members of congress and smart thinkers felt that he was not up to the job for the challenges ahead, keeping republicans united, raising the debt ceiling somehow, keeping the government from shutting down. he was in over his head. as i tweeted earlier today, the smartest thing he ever did was deciding he wasn't right to be speaker. john: the benghazi comment he made was not just a gaffe, but a gaffe of monumental proportions, showing that he is not ready to assume the role of the chief republican in the country. mark: i have seen probably 20 names of people floated as a speaker. paul ryan is the one that john boehner wants, the one that mccarthy wants. he do

in washington, house republicans have nominated wisconsin congressman paul ryan to serve as the next house speaker. the full house should be voting tomorrow with ryan expected to win. kcrg-tv9's washington bureau corresponden it's been a long a journey to the leadership elections or members of the house of representativ es. now we know the next speaker will be wisconsin congressman paul ryan. house republicans filed in to a closed-door meeting on wednesday afternoon. the last time they had a meeting like thh, california congressman kevin mccarthy dropped the bombshell that he wouldn't be seeking the leadership position. but this time was much different. the majority of house republicans voted for wisconsin congressman paul ryan. the man who had long said he had no interest in the position, making ear that family as a top priority. he said he would run if he had the support of his colleagues. and that's just what he got. gaining the support of freedom caucus, a group of far right conservatives that some say are responsible speaker boehner out. the freedom caucus didn't formally endorse

but that wasn't enough for house republicans. as mccarthy explained in an interview today with "the national review." the house freedom caucus, whose members he would need to get up over the 218 on the house floor said, he says they wanted things i could deliver. mccarthy realized i wouldn't have enjoyed being speaker this way. asked if the house is governable, he also tells those interviewers, quote, i don't know. sometimes you have to hit rock bottom. governing with a super majority is not supposed to be as hard as kicking addiction. there are only 42 house republicans in that freedom caucus, including republicans who voted against the debt ceiling agreement with john boehner and eric cantor, the one they brokered in 2011. that endangered the full faith and credit of the united states. that group includes people who voted against the 2012 fiscal cliff agreement that halted a tax increase on middle class americans and includes people who opposed reopening the government at all after ted cruz's shut down in 2013. that is why some

republican. he primaried him and beat him. and is now the chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee. people might know him from tv and twitter. he's been very strong on benghazi and the investigation and some of these other issues that republicans have taken on. so he's trying to sort of make a play for the dissatisfied voters and he readily acknowledges that he doesn't have the votes to win today in this nomination vote but mr. chaffetz believes that between sort of now and october 29 with all the churn and, again, that sort of dissatisfaction he could rise and become the candidate on the floor vote. remains a long shot. you know, but has definitely given kevin mccarthy even more of a challenge than he would have had were it just mccarthy versus the congressman from florida, mr. webster. host: what could happen real quickly, lisa mascaro, over the next three weeks to make the dissatisfaction with kevin mccarthy greater? guest: two things. pressure and barn cleaning. speaker boehner said on his way out he may try to clean up the barn for the
