paul ryan, john boehner, kevin mccarthy. they don't seem to have as good a time. it is almost like a management question. like a harvard business school. why did -- what did you understand about managing your restless party that they don't understand or why did you seem to have a better time doing it than they do. >> it depends what you mean by better -- fun. the thing is that i always say the candidates elected, whatever, know your why. know why you are there. if you know why you are there, then all of the work that goes into getting the job done is much easier. and that is very satisfying. i don't know that i would call it a good time or fun, but it is what we call fun, that is being successful. and my thing is for the children. everything -- that's why i ran for office. that's what got me from kitchen to congress to congress to house speaker, for the children. you can't imagine, right now they are trying to cut title one funding for children. when you have a goal and you respect the values of the who even you have a disagreement with, to put something together
