Reporter Kevin Mccarthy seemed on top of the world, saying he had the votes to be speaker of the house. But later shocked republicans out of a private meeting. Mccarthy had told them hes bowing out. They were practically speechless. Kevin said hes not running. I just learned this like you all did. By the time mccarthy himself emerged swarmed by cameras, he seemed more relieved than defeated. I think i shocked some of you. The one thing i found talking to everybody, if were going to unite and be strong, we need a new face to help do that. Reporter mccarthys rice was meteoric when john boehner shocked the world two weeks ago by saying he would step downforced out by conservatives, mccarthy seemed a sure bet to replace him. What happened . For one, this, when mccarthy said the Benghazi Committee accomplished. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right . But we put together a Benghazi Special committee, a select committee, what are her numbers today . Her numbers are dropping.

Reporter in the wake of the roseburg, oregon, school massacre, dr. Ben carson has pushed back hard against calls for more gun control. Many of the places where these shootings occur are gun free zones. They select these places because they know theyre not going to meet resistance. Reporter carson advocated fighting back against a shooter. Ill not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say hey, guys, he cant shoot us all. Even so he admitted he didnt follow his own prescription when he was once menaced by a gunman. Guy comes in and puts a gun in my ribs. I just said i believe that you want the guy behind the counter. You redirected him. I knew that that guy was not there to murder everybody. How could you know that . He had a gun. I knew he was not there to murder all the people. I knew he was there to rob the place. Reporter the republican president ial candidate also claims in a new book stripping german citizens of firearms helped the nazis to carry out the holocaust. I think the likelihood of hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed.
