boehner is all of those sort of house freedom caucus types on the far right on the republican side who didn't like boehner and wanted him out, a lot of them were recruited to congress by kevin mccarthy in 2010. >> they at least owed him that. >> right. and he did what boehner didn't do. over the last five years he met with them constantly. he called them constantly. he cultivated personal relationships. so the thinking was one theory was the next time you come to a debt ceiling showdown or whatever it is and he has to move them toward compromise they would give him the benefit of the doubt they never were going to give john boehner. that was the thinking. >> at least listen to him, at least engage with him. >> they'd think he was acting in good faith in a way they never trusted john boehner to act in good faith because they liked him personally. that was the theory at least. mccarthy, that's completely out the door now. the other one that comes to mind now and the one the full court press is on now, paul ryan. you have john boehner telling paul ryan he has to get in there, kevin mccarthy telling him he's got to get in there. he does not want this job because he seize what it will lead to, it leads towel ultimately have to strike a deal
