paul ryan as speaker than john baner? >> well, i mean, paul ryan is a more popular figure. and john boehner deserves a lot of credit because he tries to manage all the caps. but paul ryan, for sure, i think has better skills in terms of bringing people together. i think what's happening with republicans, with the republican constituency is a lot of frustration. i mean, republicans in general believe in limited government, smaller government. and here you have president obama who has done so much to expand the power of the state and the republicans seem like they haven't been able to do anything to beat that back. and so this frustration is manifest itself in this very what they call hard right section of the republican party. and paul ryan has to find a way to bring them along, to give them confidence that longer term he has a strategy that can actually deliver. >> some don't like ryan either because of his immigration -- he's more open to immigration than some of the others on the right. dan, what about donald trump and the presidential race? stepping back, you pointed your finger before a

john boehner? rep. pelosi: paul ryan is an articulate spokesperson for his point of view. point of view is one where we have very severe differences. the ryan budget could damage the future. he is proud of it. it's not as if we are criticizing him in a way he would say, that's not fair. he would say, that is what i believe. that is my philosophy. al: an issue you feel passionate about is gun control. the terrible san bernardino killings. yet, i know you want action, yet all those guns in san bernardino were bought legally. in your state, which has one of the tougher gun-control laws in the country. rep. pelosi: that's why we need to have a national gun law, so thought that no even though one state may have good laws, you can buy guns in other places. the bigger issue, overwhelmingly the american people support sensible background check legislation, explaining the -- expanding the brady bill to include online purchases. you can, youfy, can buy it and sell it to me. and gun shows. overwhelmingly, it is a republican bill. peter king, mike thompson, it is a bipartisan bill. if

how significant is john boehner stepping down and also paul ryan's ascension. >>> those are both, it's to tell, because john boehner stepping down was significant, because it was evidence of the fact that it's really a frustrating job to have, when you have a divided caucus like the republicans do, they have that freedom caucus, a group of very very conservative republicans within the conference of republican representatives that sequestered themselves and that's a convenient word to use, because sequester is going to be a part of what they talk about for certainly the immediate future and probably for the next year or two, del, but they took themselves to the side and said we are going to determine who we think the next speaker will be. that was the frustration working with them and blatant desire to undermine what is being done. will paul ryan be able to deal with them? that remakes to be seen, but immediately he faces an obstacle they have put in place. the guy that beat eric cantor, the former whip, saying we're happy to increase spending, but every color we have to match with budg

a lot of people are saying, john boehner started this, paul ryan took the ball and ran with it.a $1.1 trillion spending bill. which also leaves out language to defund planned parenthood. a lot of conservatives wanted that -- >> not exactly. back in september with the planned parenthood fight, actually, 56% of republicans didn't want the government to fund it over this. if we go back to 2013 when ted cruz did his famous shutdown, you have a majority of americans, 80% disapproved of it. a majority of republicans and two of three right-leaning independents were voters you guys need come 2016. i don't think it's a mistake. 63% of americans want compromise in washington. paul ryan made it clear we wanted to work with democrats. i don't know why you should be demonizing people who are actually doing what they're sent to washington to do. >> part of the problem is that three quarters of the republicans voted in favor of this. and, by the way, this also funds every single immigration program in place right now, it's fully funded through the september of '16. >> right. i completely disag

paul ryan, the new speaker of the house? how has he managed this process? i mean, the overall numbers and much of this was already baked in from the deal that john boehner had struck with president obama. how does paul ryan come out of this here at the end? >> it's not necessarily a knock on paul ryan, he couldn't get 218. the reality is, as joe alluded to, you always have a contingency of republicans who refuse to vote for any of these spending bills. you almost always have to go to democrats. and in that regard, look, he managed to craft a bill that had significant victories, the oil export ban, the end of these taxes. he's also getting very rave reviews about the process and the degree to which they are being allowed to offer their views and amendments and input. so far, people have been very pleased with what he's managed to end this year so far. >> the paradox is, joe, because conservatives won't vote for any budget bill, you actually lose some conservative reform you might have gotten otherwise. >> right. it's sort of, what else could they have gotten if they were able to command the majority here? and there are a lot of policy writers they want to ge

but probably don't agree paul ryan has but signaled a certain openness to getting something done that i don't think john boehner really showed as much. that's a really good starting point for them. paul ryan said before that is something he is interested in terminal i think justice reforms are something i could see him getting on board with. whenever paul ryan signals he is willing to work on, it can bet the white house is like, we want to do that, too. time is running out on president obama. they are trying to pack in as much as they can between now and november and as the presidential election year runs out, congress this we stopped working at a certain point in a presidential election year anyway. we have five months of legislating. whatever paul ryan once i think obama is a leaders. host: there was an editorial in usa today critical of how lawmakers can together in the end. what if congress loses interest, they say and they can talk through this massive bill and things that they added congress saying no one is getting serious about addressing that whether it is raising taxes are dealing with entitlement ref

thankfully they have the overall number that john boehner gave paul ryan before he left.they can spend. what they're trying to do is figure out how to spend it. what we see here that's slowing down the progress on the budget bill is things that are not related to the budget number. that's something called a policy rider. in that case, it's a legislative priority that both parties would like to see. we're seeing republicans and democrats pushing forward on loosening environmental regulations, increased vetting of syrian refugees, exporting u.s. crude oil currently which there's a ban on. those issues are still being figured out. this is paul ryan's first large-scale budget negotiation as speaker and his negotiators are still getting to know the democrats' negotiators and how they work and what not. one very important part of this bill will be the droguea act, the health care for 9/11 first responders. jon stewart has been all over the talk shows, we here at msnbc have been covering it. it's been told to me that they are very confident it will be in this spending bill, the
