mr. welsh. >> senator mccarthy, i don't know anything about the application he filled out. mr. dinkins -- you don't know anything about that? senator mccarthy -- i never saw it. senator, i have the application that he filled out, and i can show you -- >> don't tell me i notarized it? >> what? >> don't tell me i notarized it. >> no, you merely signed it. [laughter] >> there were 36 days of hearings in 1954 on television -- and television came into the picture. and people began to see, and i must say, mccarthy was a heavy drinker and he was starting to go too far. he would interrupt -- point of order, point of order. >> point of order? >> i don't know what it is, but it is a point of something. >> [indiscernible] >> my point of order is yesterday mr. dinkins was imposed upon and so was the secretary of the army by having a doctored or altered photograph produced in this courtroom as if it were honest, in the committee room, as if it were honest. >> it was rude and unruly and they talked about this as a point of order on america. when tv showed how he was, he lost a lot of public s

mr. mccarthy in a tough spot? mr. boehner: we're going to take this one day at a time an do what we can on behalf of the american people. i'm not going to change my process at all. i've spent my life trying to do the right thingers in right reasons, i'm not going to change now. >> are you concerned that that sets a precedent for a final bill? mr. boehner: not at all. this is a bipartisan agreement and we'll take care of it today. >> any thoughts, mr. speaker, on the time offering the leadership election? and if not, any broad considerations within the conference about when that would be held? mr. boehner: i told members this morning i have not decided when leadership elections will occur. i asked for their input and got a few pieces of advice but i would hope to make an announcement in the next day or wo about that. >> would you like it to be sooner? what's your -- you don't care? mr. boehner: it's loik any decision i make, i listen to my colleagues and i'm listening to them, and i would hope to make a decision soon.

what do you make of the mccarthy being the favorite right now? mr. becerra: i'll simply say that i think kevin mccarthy is someone who has been in leadership, not just in the house, but before he served in the state legislature, and he was in the republican leadership there as well. and so he understands legislators and he understands the legislative process. my sense, and our hope would be, if he becomes the speaker, that he would use that knowledge to help us move legislation forward, to try to get things done. perhaps he'll have more success in corraling his own team so that we can get things done. but at the same time the concern is that, as the vice chairman just said, that will he work with them? the chairman of the dccc said this, will he be able to work with his colleagues on the republican side or will he get run over by them? our hope is that not only can he work with them, but he'll reach across the aisle to work with us so we can get things done rather than doing things at the last moment through these fiscal cliff kind of deals. jackie, i

mr. chairman. ms. mccarthy, the epa internal review documents of the spill said there is no documentation of flow for the gold king mine available before july 2005 when it was discharging about 42 gallons per minute. then in september of 2005, it was up to 135 gallons per minute. 2006, it increased to 314 gallons per minute. 2009 to 2014, the rate dropped again all the way down to 13 gallons per minute. in september of 2014. and according to -- your staff gave our committee staff documentation on september 8th post blowout added discharge. it was approximately 600 gallons per minute. is there any new data since september 8 that changes the 600 gallons per minute discharge rate? >> i think i have a slightly lower figure. but i'm happy to provide you with that, sir. i don't want to speak when i don't have all the data at my fingertips. >> okay. you have come to testify and you don't know whether epa made it worse or better since september 8th? >> it is is something on the order of 550 gallons per minute, if that'

mr. mccarthy at his word, congressman mccarthy at his word. think the thing that's happener here is that leader mccarthy has committed the classic washington gaffe of saying something that everybody already knows is true. and i think that's quite apparent what happened on fox news last night. >> reporter: can i follow up with a question on syria? >> sure. unless you want to talk more about mr. mccarthy. i'll be happy to do that as well. >> reporter: you've covered that completely. on syria you said that it isn't particular lly surprising what s occurred with russian-led air strikes. russia is saying today that western air strikes in syria are illegal and that russian strikes are legal because they were requested by president assad. so my question to you is as the white house is trying to wrestle with the idea of what the definition of "constructive" offensive action might be by the russians, how is the administration going to assess what russia's intentions are? how the strikes are being called in, what the results are and what the implication

mr. mccarthy? mr. rogers: we'll know in due course of time.ly, i have great respect and admiration for him. he's done a whale of a job as leader, so he will be on my list. >> how much do you think his decision would tie to the big fight over planned parenthood and government funding and a potential shutdown? mr. rogers: well, i'm sure it must have been a big part of his consideration. there are a number of other things. a new grandchild, for example, and a desire to spend more time with his family. but i was thinking, you know, as one of the crowning moments of his life, not just his speakership, but his life was yesterday with his long-standing 20-year-old desire to have the pope address the joint session of congress, which came true, a dream come true, but all the while he must have been thinking so much about the upcoming decision that he would announce to us today. a bittersweet day for him, but i congratulate him on being a great speaker over these years. something the reaction on capitol hill today, and taking your phone calls. james wai

mr. mccarthy if he becomes speaker.y who have been pushing against john boehner say is that they hope that the built up kind of plaque that's built up with all these fights between conservatives and john boehner, that will have gone away, maybe a fresh start can happen with mr. mccarthy. but it is crucial to remember all of the tension still exists. one member i talked to today said they hope the next speaker will take on mitch mcconnell, leader in the senate who they think is buckling too easily to democrats. in the conversation about the next speaker, there's all the seeds of the tension inside the republican party that john boehner had to wrestle with. >> we should mention that the speaker, john boehner, has said that he believed congress on october 30th and so that will be the end of that month, end of a long and controversial tenure. we want to say of all of the sunday programs that john boehner could have appeared on, now that he decided to leave the congress, he is going to be on your broadcast, john, on "face th

mr. mccarthy's career. first, at every stage of his career, his peers have chosen him as a leader. he was elected national chairman of young republicans in 1999. as a freshman in the california semireply, he was elected unanimously as republican leader, a first in assembly history for a freshman member. then he was elected to the house in 2006, and in a relatively short period of time was elected as house majority leader. yet, one senses this is all prologue and we have only begun to see his leadership. the second thing i'd like to emphasize about leader mccarthy is his work on foreign policy. he has done his work on the issues that we face today. e has mailed the times -- time to travel overseas, to meet with heads of government and foreign leaders. his eloquent remark at the -- one week after the terrorist attack in indonesia showed a clear understanding of international terrorism and its many dimensions. he also knows that current efforts are insufficient as he is -- as he has observed, the war on terrorism isn't going to lead itself. it is also clear in talking to him that what
