my friend jake sherman of politico and i were standing there at twilight, sun setting over capitol hillheard rumors that boehner may be retiring but it didn't seem believable. we thought to ourselves might as well hang around for a few hours. the capitol was empty. and boehner finally comes out. and he usually passes by reporters, doesn't take questions, rolls his eyes, and then he did something unprecedented, five, six years of covering boehner he's never done this, comes over to us in the hallway, puts his hands on our shoulders and says come over to this little spot where the pope met him earlier in the day as the pope was leaving. and for the next ten minutes boehner starts acting out this entire scene, has me standing where the pope was standing, and he just kept saying the pope said please pray for me. and he kept repeating it. we really didn't know how to handle it. so we just let boehner do his thing. and he with just thought to ourselves, what is this after he left. we thought boehner seemed at peace with himself and happy. >> robert, when you say you had heard and part of the

reporter jake sherman is

in the house, still a bit up in the air this headline from politico tells the story, a piece by jake sherman about the republican revolt in the u.s. house. headline says house republicans revolt against iran vote. and the story behind, advancing a little further, the associated press writes that house republican leaders are hastily developing a plan, plan b, involving votes on several related measures, according to peter roskam, representative of illinois, one that would specify that the obama administration has not properly submitted the iran deal to congress. a second bound to fail vote to approve the iran nuclear deal, and a third to prevent the president from lifting congressionally mandated sanctions on iran. all of this getting started with peter roskam's privileged resolution in the house yesterday. let's go to calls and get your thought. frank in pittsburgh on our democrats line. caller: yes, i'd like to say i understand some of the points, but specifically the four prisoners should have been included. but overall i think it's a good plan, i think you should try diplomacy first befor

i was with jake sherman.d associates he may be thinking about retiring. we thought we might hang out and see what happens. usually boehner when he comes out of his office goes towards his caravan and doesn't take questions. he took questions from us. he brought us over to this little area and said for me to stand right where the pope stood and reenacted this whole scene as if he was trying to saver the moment while the memory was still fresh. >> he described to you where he said that the pope said pray for me to the speaker. >> it was. boehner standing inches from me kept repeating this. he said please pray for me. he kept saying it as if he was saying it to us and no one in particular. he seemed to be a man at a peace. we heard these resignation rumors, but this was a a different boehner i saw up close tonight. a a boehner who was more lively and at peace surrounded by the house and he seemed to think that the pope's visit was the capstone to this career, the pinnacle of sorts for a a devout roman catholic.

strongly favored to become speaker, writes jake sherman and anna palmer and john brezz me has.tense round of jockeying for leadership posts, a hyper competitive internal party election. less than a hour after boehner announced he was stepping down, house republicans were making moves for every slot in g.o.p. leadership. house majority leader kevin mccarthy is expected to run for speaker and no one has yet said they will challenge him. to brooklyn and michael on our democrats' line. caller: good afternoon. thank you very much for taking my call. i'd like to extend a thank you to representative boehner. what this man went through in the past six years, having to rapp party that would do nothing but try to go after the esident, irregardless of whatever, and also having a democratic president that was a did was onary, what he unbelievable holding that together. host: we're losing there, michael. we'll let you go. video of john boehner just a short while ago. we'll show that to you again shortly. you can see it online as well at c-span.org. also this afternoon, live ogramming of our

jake sherman in politico, the house will be voting on a bill saying obama hasn't submitted enough to the hill to vote on approving the deal. then the house will vote on approving the deal. the two getting a debate and vote today. chad from fox about the senate. mcconnell urges senate not to block advancing to final passage of bill and reject the iran vote later today. it needs 60. that vote about 3:45 says lisa, who covers political capitol hill, today's iran deal update, lots of votes, not much change. senate will try and fail to break filibuster 3:45 vote. from chad, again, senate procedural vote to reject iran deal could be the only vote at all on the issue if it fails to muster 60 votes. can you follow senate coverage live now. senator chuck schumer, first democrat to come out in opposition to the deal, speaking on the senate floor. let's get to your calls and go to bridgeton, movement. david on our republican line. go ahead. caller: hi. i'd just like to say that i appreciate the work the republican controlled congress and senate are trying to do, but i'm extremely disappointed i

host: right now it looks like, after getting a tweet here from jake sherman, texas delegation is meetingthe capitol, discussing their leadership options. then one more tweet here -- host: nancy's on the line. savannah, georgia, republican. hi, nancy. caller: hi. i just wanted to say that i think john boehner did a very, very good job with what he was dealt with. the president only said that he had the power of the veto and the power of the pen and the hone and harry reid always was filibustering. i heard everyone say it was up to john bainer to take care of these social issues. the spanish lady that you had really made the most sense because she understands that john boehner is not in charge of all of these things and it takes the whole place to put it together. but you have to look at the president who honestly insisted that he would veto almost anything that the republicans tried to put through. so i do wish john boehner the very, very best. i think he was a wonderful gentleman, true to the country and a very good man -- american. host: thanks for the call. let's take a look here. we s

reporter jake sherman is reporting that illinois peter roskam will introduce a privileged resolution calling for the halt on the house vote on the agreement. now live to the house floor. a communication from the speaker. the clerk: the speaker's rooms, washington, d.c. september 8, 2015. i hereby appoint the honorable steve womack to act as speaker pro tempore on this day. signed, john a. boehner, speaker of the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: the prayer will be offered by our chaplain, father conroy. chaplain conroy: let us pray. dear lord, we give you thanks for giving us another day. as the members of this people's house return from a lengthy time in their home districts, in the wake of a great american holiday we ask your special blessing upon american workers. those fortunate to have jobs during these difficult economic times and those desiring work. may they know and be confident of the nobility and sacredness of their labor. lord, the task facing the nation's congress is a difficult one which will call upon each member to consider what is best for american w

he put his arm around bob costa, and another reporter from politico, jake sherman, and re-enacted the entire moment of when the pope walked down the hall with him and recounted the story about how the pope asked him to pray for his holiness. i asked john boehner whether or not it was in fact the grace of pope francis that led him to this. he didn't say it outwardly but i got the sense from covering boehner for the last six years that the pope's visit really put everything in perspective. john boehner is one of 12 children. he came from running ohio, i have seen his house, he was in a room with his brothers and sisters, his parents slept on a pull-out couch. never in a million years did he think he would graduate from college, be a successful businessman, get to congress, much less become speaker of the house. for him to have the pope next to him, i personally think from reading him for awhile, that was the highest of high and he saw what was on the horizon for the next few months. he could get through it if he wanted to but he would put a lot of his friends through difficult votes if

but this morning, jake sherman have talked to a bunch of people very close to the speaker.oes look like now the boehner era is ending unlikely to run again, whether or not there is a republican president and mica, it's for a very simple and kind of sad reason and that is that the calculation at this moment is that he wouldn't survive a floor vote. there are too many conservatives unhappy with him. if you look ahead to the fall cliffs that congress faces, it's going to make it even harder for him. >> who is the conservative hero that can win this fling? >> so kevin mccarthy now the house majority leader is the other on favorite to get i. kevin has been around your table. but he's not for sure. he, too, is going to have to worry about jeb of texas or name your other conservative that the far, far right might rally around. >> yeah. wow. >> mike allen, thank you very much. >> few jean stay with us. governor chris christie joins us next hour. up next, his district stadles 800 miles of the mexican border. we will talk to immigration and homelands security. we will talk about immi
