mark: ryan will not turn the floor over to nancy pelosi. boehnerht do it before he goes on the debt ceiling. how ryan deals with the continuing resolution to keep them being a government shutdown. i think ryan may try to start strong and establish himself by getting the president to engage in negotiation, even if it might seem like two separate deals. trying to say to republicans, let's get a continuing resolution. but i will get some thing in return for it and show my side that i can stand on principle and stop barack obama. john: he's still a political guy, right? the way in which he has been attacking from the right, the attacks on him being this harry reid's favorite republican, the guy that wants to make deals with barack obama, he still has a right flank that he has to cover. he can't look like he's going to do what john boehner does and go to pelosi right off the bat. mark: reid said something nice before he got the job, now that he is the de facto speaker he attacked him today. john: public enemy number one. mark: he's going to have a diffi

and pelosi boehner could come to these compromises and we can have a bipartisan majority just like we had a few days ago when we voted to keep the government open, despite the fact that 151 republicans voted to shut it. is some speculation. i am curious what you think it actually get done? there is some speculation about reauthorizing the export import bank, raising the debt limit. we are set to hit that in just a couple of days after he retires. do you think those are realistic? can they be them by the end of the month? rep. engel: i do and i hope they can be done and i think those are the type of things that should be done, and i think those are the type of things that the american people want us to do. be export import bank should a no-brainer. i don't understand why people are opposed to it. traditionally it was the republicans who pushed the export import inc.. the party of be business. this is certainly something that benefits our companies. i don't think it is right that they are pulling support for it, and it is kind of ironic that the democrats are pushing for the export impo

he's going to be the third catholic speaker in a row, after pelosi and boehner, and he does have a lot of positive feelings towards him from house democrats because they have always respected the fact that he's been willing to start difficult policy discussions with concrete ideas. whereas many of his colleagues will just sort of speak in pl platitud platitudes, ryan will speak in legislation. so i think he'll have a good will period that at least extends through the christmas holidays, but come next year paul ryan will find himself in some pretty contentious battles with democrats, with the white house on these remaining pieces of legislation that need to be accomplished. whether it's a highway bill or another things of that magnitude, the trade bills, we'll certainly see. >> steve kornacki, the business awaiting this house and the senate for that matter is kind of staggering. >> yeah. it's interesting. you have to go all the way back to 1989 to find a situation like this where a new speaker comes in, not with all the other new members at the start of a new congressional term in janua

pelosi. speaker boehner has tried to re-introduce the less partisan aspects of the speakership but still a very partisan position and the majority party in the house expects the speaker to carry out the will of the majority party. >> host: when you look back at the history of the speakers, who have been some of to the more effective ones or well-known ones? >> guest: well, first that comes to mind is sam rayburn, who was speaker from 1940 until 1960s, and he was to prominent speaker in part because he lasted so long. he served off and on for 20 years. it's very rare to have a speaker last as long as that. certainly not more than two or three terms. but he also was a rare speaker in that he understood the house in which he served. he understood what it was that motivated members of the house of representatives. he had what you might say is a feel for the chamber. that made it possible for him to get a lot done as speaker because we knew what was possible. he understand the art of the possible in congressessal politics and some major legislation that was enacted during that time period was enacte

mcconnell, john boehner, myself, nancy pelosi, and harry reid, we have all spoken and talk about trying to negotiate a budget agreement. and, yes, speaker boehner's decision to step down complicates it, but i do think there is still a path or us to come up with a reasonable agreement that raises the spending caps to make sure we can properly finance both our defense and non-defense needs, controlntains a prudent of our deficits and that we can do that in short order. it's not that complicated. .ou know, the math is the math what i have encouraged is that we get started on that work immediately and we pushed through over the next several outs and try to leave extraneous issues that may prevent us from getting a budget agreement. i know, for example, that there are many republicans who are angry about planned parenthood. i deeply disagree with them on that issue, and i think that it is mischaracterized -- it has mischaracterized what planned .arenthood does but you cannot have an issue like that potentially wreck the entire u.s. economy any more than i should hold the entire budget hostag

nancy pelosi did as well. boehner, as i mentioned before, moved back a little bit from that partisan role. i think that is in part a reflection of his believe that the speaker needs to move himself out of the debate and conflict in order to be seen as someone who really has the whole house and the interests of the whole house at heart. peter: we have been talking with catholic university professor matthew green about his book. here is the cover. you are watching book tv. tomorrow, the u.s. house votes for the next speaker of the house. republican nominee paul ryan and democratic leader nancy pelosi are the two candidates. the houseboat starting at 9:00 a.m. eastern here on c-span. coming up on c-span, debate from the u.s. house on the two-year $80 billion budget deal. then, remarks from u.s. women's world champion at the wombat -- abby womback.

mitch mcconnell, john boehner, myself, nancy pelosi, harry reid, we have all spoken and talked about trying to negotiate a budget agreement. and, yes, speaker boehner's decision to step down complicated it, but i do think there's stale path for us to come up with a reasonable agreement that raises the spending caps above success at - sequester to make sure we finance defense and nondefense needs, that maintains a prudent control of our deficits, and that we can do that in short order. it's not that complicated. there's the -- the math is the math. and what i have encouraged is that we get started on the work immediately, and we push through over the next several weeks, and try to leave out ex-trainous issues -- extraneous issues that may prevent us from getting a budget agreement. i know, for example, that there are many republicans who are exercised about planned parenthood. -- ex-ore sitessed about planned parenthood. i deeply disagreewith them on that issue and it's mischaracterized what planned parenthood does. but i understand that they feel strongly about it and i respect that.

nancy pelosi says he welcomed this. i don't think boehner called it a halfhearted measure, that was emboldened the enemies. jon mccain probably has the faddest and most critical response. mccain's argument is that why should there be any troop cuts while the instability is going on. he thinks all 9800, or almost 10,000 should stay, let the next president decide what to do, so he also dismisses this as a half measure. be uh the president initially got this recommendation from his former joint chief chairman, back in the summer. and they have been working on this proposal trying to come up with the right number. the president believes this is the right number and the right thing to do, even though he believes he won't be able to fulfill his pledge to leave office with no troops in iraq or afghanistan. >> all right, jamie for us at the pentagon, appreciate it, good to see you, thank you. the draw down delay comes after high profile attacks. al jazeera has more on how will it be impacted. >> they requested this extense, the afghan c.e.o. has a m

and nancy pelosi did as well. but boehner, again i mentioned before, has moved back from that partisan role. he votes very, very rarely on the house floor. and i think that is in part a reflection of his belief that the speaker needs to move himself or herself out of these debates and conflicts in order to be seen as someone who really has the whole house and the interests of the whole house at heart. >> host: and we've been talking with catholic university professor matthew green about his book, "the speaker of the house." published by yale university press. here's the cover, you're watching booktv on cing span 2. on c-span2. >> is there a nonfiction author or book you'd like to see featured on booktv? send us an e-mail to booktv@c-span.org, tweet us @booktv or post on our wall, facebook.com/booktv. >> "vanity fair" special correspondent bryan burrough appeared at the 2015 chicago tribune printers row lit fest to talk about his history of america's radical underground. that next on booktv. >> welcome to the 31st annual chica

i am so hopeful that mcconnell, boehner, pelosi, obama, the five people in leadership positions, do notto see the this happen again, so i would hope that whatever struggles we have on the budget, on transportation that we get the debt limit riskded and we take that of government dysfunction off the table for the economy and for the image of the united states and a credit worthiness. betty: i know you advised hillary clinton and i read some of the concept of the debate and you are pleased with her performance, as were a lot of people about clinton. she did mention, and i remember watching, about trade and justifying what anderson cooper was saying and what many people say is that you are flip-flopping on trade. are you surprised she has taken this stance on trade? she has always basically said his some people are anti-trade, pro trade, and she has case-by-case by trade. betty: can you be case-by-case? : i think you can. if you look, she has been on both sides. traits supported some agreements and not supported others. her view is she looks closely at each one individually and makes that

but here is the bottom line, mitch mcconnell, john boehner, myself, nancy pelosi, harry reid, we have all spoken. into talked about trying to negotiate a budget agreement. and yes, >> i do think there is a path for us to come up with a reasonable agreement that raises the spending caps above sequester to make sure we can properly finance both our defense and nondefense needs that maintains a prudent, you know, control of our deficits and that we can do that in short order. it's not that complicated. there's -- the math is the math, and what i've encouraged is that we get started on that work immediately, and we push through over the next several weeks and try to leave out extraneous issues that may prevent us from getting a budget agreement. i know for example that there are many republicans who are exercised about planned parenthood, and i deeply disagree with them on that issue, and i think that it's mischaracterized what planned parenthood does, but i understand that they feel strongly about it, and i respect that, but you can't have an issue like that potentially wreck the entire

floor even in the past couple of years, people who didn't want to vote for, for example, john boehner or nancy pelosi. put in names like ted cruz, who was a senator, or colin powell who is a retired general former secretary of state. today we've been seeing some traffic on the internet that newt gingrich might be willing to come back in 2018, that representatives want him. it certainly would be out of the ordinary to happen, but it's allowed. >> interesting, clinton and bush in the race and now newt gingrich. it's the '90s all over again. i appreciate that, dana bash. i want to turn to the hugh hewitt show, and the second coming of a clinton era. boy, we have a lot to talk about, mr. hewitt. what do you think about mr. mccarthy dropping out? >> i was stunned. there is a second line of stories you'll have to deal with when it come to i mpropriety, which i would be shocked if they were true, i've known him for a long time. here's the big news of the night i can confirm for you. because i talked to a senior member of congress who knows it to be true. paul ryan is actually reconsidering his shermanesque

pelosi. the entire chamber said good- boehner. then ryan appealed to the different faxes in the g.o.p. in congress to work together. >>> turning to the race for attacks flying in all directions at the republican debate last night. the candidates spared but carson, a front-runner in many polls had little speaking time. trump a focus in the past didn't make big headlines. it was a confrontation that start with jeb bush at -- started with jeb bush attacking >> you should be showing up to work. >> my campaign will be about the future of america, not attacking anyone else on this stage. i will continue to have tremendous admiration and respect for governor bush. i am not running against governor bush. i am not running against anyone on this stage. i am running for president. >> reporter: another focus of attacks, the cnbc moderators. the republican national committee saying it did a disservice to their network and our candidates and voters. the network fired back by saying the candidates for president should be able to handle tough questions. >>> well, a disturbing attack. an 8-year-old gir

boehner. and nancy pelosi talks about women in politics. and her 45 minutes children on the decision to send toe u.s. combat advisors help in the fight against isis. then a discussion of the recent -- linkinging process meats to cancer. we will talk to the center for science and public interest. and i looked at moved by republicans to impeach irs commissioner amid accusations he misled the public and ♪ it saturday morning to you. it is october 31. the white house has announced it will deploy special operations forces to syria to aid in the battle there against the islamic state. it marks the first time troops will be on the ground full-time there. obama administration says it will not be engaged in direct combat, still, it is being called a major shift in strategy for president who vowed to not put boots on the ground. we want to know what you think. how involved should the u.s. be in syria? if you support that decision, .ou can dial (202) 748-8000

well i'll always be so grateful for speaker boehner approving the reck menation from leader pelosi, andes, i went to nelson mandela's funeral. tonight, i am proud to join my other colleagues and others in saying that speaker boehner served as a great statesman for ohio and the nation. the great state of ohio has benefited greatly through his leadership. while there are things certainly that we have not agreed on, we've always managed to not be disagreeable. in a way that was negative -- disagreeable in a way that was negative for ohio or the nation. but there were some things we did agree on. and there's one quote that was a very proud moment for me as a member of this united states congress. when speaker boehner said, it was beginning to become a political football, and just as i thought it was time to stop, i thought, let's have a discussion with responsible members of congress to try to bring some resolution to this. but in his own views, there should be no debate because he said, mr. speaker, in my view, the issue is settled. the flag should be gone. and mr. speaker, that flag was t

his good friend, the gentleman from ohio, the departing john boehner, and then it's part of his job in this address as you see nancy pelosioth guys. part of his job is to talk about the future. john boehner has left the podium there. an emotional day in the house of representatives, especially on the republican side. and to joe's point, you saw ryan walk right through the heart of the democratic order there, the rangels, it was quite something. and also to joe's point, you saw a reception for him that has just not been the case in recent history. john boehner has a new condo in florida, and if thought bubbles were worn like clothing, you could see it walking right along with him. he's worked hard,
