republican national committee. that had chairman reince priebus playing defense. here he is with sean hannity. >> sitting there seething through this thing other than thinking about hitting the circuit breaker in the auditorium that crossed my mind. these are people who put on a pretty decent show on cnbc. they did a decent debate four years ago. we had assurances it would be straight-up finance which is what they do every day and what was delivered was a crap sandwich. bill: that's great with mayonnaise, by the way. peel back the curtain. what do some of these candidates wanted? >> they want different things because they have different needs. ben carson and donald trump who are not exactly lincoln and douglas at debating would like to see less debating or debates that are more patty cake. they with like to see forums that probably are not testy. but if you are ted cruz, carly fiorina or marco rubio or chris christie, you want a debate with sharp elbows where you show your ability in that setting. no one would say, i don't think even cnbc would say that was a well-done debate. bill: once the agreement is reached, whether it's the rnc or the dnc, with the network than that's where the party control stops, yes or no. >> no. i don't know how other networks do it. i won't speak to that. but my understanding is because of our dealings with rnc. what they regulate are delegates. the rnc is in charge awarding delegates. they said candidates who participate in debates that are not approved will be punished by losing delegates. they regulate their convention, and nomination. they don't have anything to say about our debates. the candidates either come or don't come to our debates. bill: ryan idebates.bill. >> do you think it rnc is at fault for this debate structure? >> sure. the democratic dewaits are primarily moderated by liberals and the republican debates are moderated by liberals. bill: i don't know how he knows who's voting for whom. rick santilly has been at the mercantile for six years screaming in favor of the tea party. >> any idea that you can rig a debate favorable, unfavorable, you can have this or have that is a bad idea. you have got to play it down the middle. you have got to be trait and journalistically sound. you have to have journalistic soundness. i dare anybody to stay you were unfair or had narrow interests or bias. that's why we do it right. i will say this about ted cruz. he may be even right that the questions were biased or unfair but he would probably like to have one of those debates every day so he could hit grand slam home runs on that panel. bill: thank you, chris. 11 day we have one coming up here on fox. man * one of the biggest names on conservative radio calling for the firing of reince priebus. levin did not minutes word on -e word. >> enough is enough. i say reince priebus should be fired at the republican national committee. he's a boob whose tongue is tied all the time and when he does talk he talks in jibberish. the head of the rnc need to go. these debate formats are preposterous. what you saw were a number of republican candidate finally standing up and defending themselves. martha: he seemed a little bit upset. bill: they have 14 million? martha: apparently in some ways you could look at what happened and say these candidate came off looking good. and that it was a bonding moment for them. at one point you had the candidate saying don't pick on him. he's a smart guy, she is a smart woman. and i thought that was an interesting dynamic. bill: there will be a meeting over the weekend, we'll see what happens then. martha: while you were sleeping the senate was voting to send a bipartisan budget bill to president obama's desk and that cleared the way to race the debt ceiling. it was not without a bit of drama last night. >> are republican that lousy that political battles that we fear the president would shut the president down, blame us, and we would collapse because we fought for tax relief. are when that bad at this? why are we doing it? >> as we look back at the last six month one is left with a shocking conculsion, that is majority leader mcconnell has proven to be the most effective democratic leader of modern times. martha: in the end this vote went down smoothly, right? reporter: the on drama was it being in the middle of the night. only lyndsey graham voted for it. >> i think if you ask people throughout america, republican, democrat or independent, if you ask wet were it's a good idea to continue to before oh money without reforming what we do, to continue borrowing money at an alarming if rate without saying enough is enough, we should spend on what comes in. >> with 64 there was plenty of votes to pass it very early. martha: there is a lot of legitimate controversy over this issue. what was the argument that it would make season to get this done? reporter: john mccain wanted more money for the mitt. avoiding a debt crisis. the budget agreement is through two years and will ray the debt ceiling through march 2017. it will rate the spending caps by 80 bi. it august of some long-term entitlement reforms to the social security disability program. president obama said this agreement i a reminder that washington can still choose to help rather than hinder america' progress and he look forward to signing it into law as soon as it reaches his desk. martha: it's hard to manage a personal finance expert saying yes, i think you should continue going deeper into debt the next two years and this i a good deal for your future. bill: with the budget out of the way until 2017. paul ryan get a fresh tart in what he calls figuring a broken house. the new speaker promising to work with democrat along the way as well. >> what a relief it would be if we finally got our act together. what a weight off their shoulders. how reassuring if we figured the tax code. put patient in charge their healthcare, grew our economy, strengthened our military, lifted people out of poverty and paid down our debt. they will say it's not possible. you better believe we are going to try. bill were paul ryan, age 45 says he will meet with conservatives and consider their demand to see how the house can better work as well. i sat down moment after john boehner said good-bye. it happened yesterday afternoon. what were his biggest wins and losses? 5 years as speaker of the house. 25 years in congress. his exit interview later this hour on "america's newsroom." the high the lows. what he thick of the president today. what he thick of the house conservatives who made his job very, very difficult. martha: we are looking forward to that coming up. and you may want to turn the page, but a new batch of hillary clinton emails are about to be released. the classified emails hand over to the benghazi committee. congressman mike pompeo is leading in the the charge on this. bill: watch this video. a traffic stop turns into a potentially deadly assault. martha: jeb bush is fighting back. critics say his campaign is on life support. can jeb turn it around? our panel is next. >> we have talkers and doers. we have had a great talker as president of the united states. man, he's gifted. extraordinarily eloquent man. but he's not a doer. he doesn't roll up his sleeves and solve problems. if you love shrimp like i love shrimp, come to red lobster's endless shrimp... ...for as much as you want, any way you want it... sweet, buttery, and creamy. like new pineapple habanero coconut shrimp bites... ...and teriyaki grilled shrimp. and yeah, it's endless, but it won't last forever. . martha: a michigan police officer is lucky to be alive after a woman used her car as a weapon. the officer spotted a driver with a suspended license and pulling her over. she struggled, got into her car. threw the car in reverse and that struck the officer and knocked him down. she speeds away. the driver was arrested shortly after that move. the officer was treated for minor injuries. he's now back on the job. bill: a brand-new pile of emails set for release and the white house releasing a controversy of classified emails a year after they were requested. the big pile we leased by the white house deal with the the military's response. what's new that you know of today. >> we just received these emails. we have been demanding them for months and months. it's what we have been talking about for a long time. i can't tell you much about what's been contained in them. but there are important questions we have to answer about how the department of defense respopped. we asked hillary clinton if she spoke to the secretary of defense or the joint chiefs of staff. we need to understand how the d.o.d. was deployed prior to that. to make sure good decisions were made to protect these folks and we need to understand all the detail about how they responded in the aftermath of our facility in benghazi. bill: it was revealed in the hearing that hillary clinton did send an email or two the night of the attack describing it as al qaeda-like. do you have anything today to enlighten us on what that's all about? >> yes, sir. secretary clinton lied to the family of mr. woods, she lied to the american people we know she believed within hours this was a terrorist after he tack conducted by al-sharia. this was an attack planned in advance consistent with terrorists around the world. bill: democrats said they were going get off that committee. since then they changed their minds. >> they haven't lifted a finger, necessity stayed on the committee technically but they haven't done one stitch of work to help america understand howed the first ambassador in 30 years was killed. i hope they stay on, but i hope they begin to help us, not hinder us. bill: 10-month delay in the emails. chris stevens emails were given to the committee 48 hours before the hearing began. how would you characterize this experience trying to get that information? what would you say about the admin snraition this long delay? >> the administration promised to be the most transparent in the history of the united states of america. this administration has been the exact opposite of that. we still don't have all of ambassador stevens emails. it took us months to find out secretary clinton hasn't using a government account. and they prevented the american people from understanding how the case happened and to make sure it never happens again. bill: thank you. martha: another american has been arrested and is being held in iran. the fourth american behind bars and fears another political pawn may be in the works. fresh off the nuclear deal we have struck with that country. he has an interesting story. bill: a plane bursting into flames moments before it is set to take off. >> i heard like a bump. and i heard people screaming, running to the front, i turn around and look in the window and it's flames all over the turbine of the plane. (vo) after 50 years of designing cars for crash survival, subaru has developed our most revolutionary feature yet. a car that can see trouble... ...and stop itself to avoid it. when the insurance institute for highway safety tested front crash prevention nobody beat subaru models with eyesight. not honda. not ford or any other brand. subaru eyesight. an extra set of eyes, every time you drive. awe believe active management can protect capital long term. active management can tap global insights. active management can seek to outperform. that's the power of active management. this is todd hardy. a fitness buff, youth baseball coach-and lung cancer patient. the day i got the diagnosis, i was just shocked. the surgeon in dallas said i needed to have the top left lobe of my lung removed. i wanted to know what my other options were. and i found that at cancer treatment centers of america. at ctca, our experts examine a variety of therapies, treatments and technologies to identify a plan specifically for each patient. my doctor understood that who i am was just as important as what cancer i had. we talked about options. my doctor told me about a robotic surgery that was less invasive. we have excellent technology that allow us to perform very specialized procedures for patients who have lung disease. at ctca, it's all about what you can do. i feel fantastic now. exploring treatment options is at the heart of how we fight cancer. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more about our treatment options at cancercenter.com/lung. appointments available now. bill: president george w. bush was asked about 2020 race, and what he thought of the kanye west. he reacted pretty much how you would expect. >> your thoughts on kanye west running for president one day. do you think he has a chance in 2020? perfect. bill: an interesting campaign to follow, would it not? we go to northwest, southwest. martha: east were southeast. serious stuff here. another american has reportedly been detained in iran. a businessman in dubai was arrested while he was visiting friends and family in tehran. it's raising questions -- these are the four individual we know. bought * and there were questions whether they were trying to work on a bringser in swap from the iranian side. rick, good morning. good to have you with us today. in the wake of this deal given the fact the other four were not released as part of this negotiation that they would be careful not to do something like this. tell us what you know about this man. >> mr. amaz, is an american born in the united states. his father was an influential governor inside iran. the family moved out because obviously they were concerned with the new regime that had come in. mr. mamazi and his brother have been influential helping businesses do business inside iran. and they both have been vocal about bringing down sanctions. as we ratchet up sanctions on the iranian regime these two brothers were always calling for sanctions to be lessened. it would lead you to believe maybe the iranian regime would like that. but something changed the last several years. they moved to dubai. they got out of iran. now we see the regime grabbing him and holding him against his will. march are and his brother were born in the united states. their parents are iranian and his father was an influential businessman in iran. here is a man who dedicated his time and energy to opening iran and being a void for moderate leadership to expand their economy and open business ties, it's hard to imagine what would have caused them to arrest him given it seems he's in line with what many in iran would want at this point for their country. >> if they are going to take someone like this, no one should be traveling to iran right now. this is a regime with a legal system that's random. they can come up with charges randomly and without explanation, and they do. we have seen several individual being held against their will. i worked on several cases. once in a while we get someone free. but it should not be a part of the iran negotiations. this is a separate deal. the more we put it with any type of political issue, the more individual will be at risk because the iranians will grab them and use them as leverage. martha: what response do you expect from the administration on this? >> i don't think the administration should be involved at all. they have a point person inside the state department. it's a terrible idea. we do not want to formalize this. the family need to do everything they can. hire private people and former diplomats. do what they can but don't bring this into an official u.s. policy issue. bill: jeb bush trying to reassure donors his campaign is alive and well. reports say they were not reassured by this week's debate. >> i'll work hard to earn people's support. i knew this would be a long journey, but to suggest the campaign is terminal, come on. that's pretty funny. martha: some jeb bush donors say they are puzzles and frustrated by his performance at wednesday's debate. he says his campaign is in good shape. reporter: you said you would get better at this. what are you going to do to get better at this. >> we have 8 debates. i'll have to do what other candidate do. rudely interrupt, not answer the questions asked, and hopefully the debate moderators will ask substantive questions. martha: we have the former political as individualor and fox news contributors. plenty of people say when you read about policy that he talks about when he writes editorials he comes across as sounding as somebody who could get something done, yet he absolutely has not been able to stand out, to cut the mustard in a debate environment. and it seems that's something that matters a lot. >> i was watching this debate pain was rooting for jeb bush. but this is just for those of you -- those of us who have done campaigns, this is an art. marco rubio was prepared for he question put to him. and that's why debate prep is so important. he should have had an answer. he looked lost. martha: confidence breed success. when you are nervous you hesitate and think. it's very, very high stakes. u.s. news and word report got their hand on the rest of the document from this internal meeting in houston. the other stuff show they are going after marco rubio. they are pulling out dirt on the state credit card thing. one of their big focuses is to take marco rubio down with dirt. >> i think senator marco rubio is a formidable candidate. you have seen he has been an effective communicator. he has been eyewitnes quit quic. and he has been brilliant at focus opening the right target. while the other candidates are going after each other. as well as the fact i call it the psychology of politic. left brain-right brain. it's not just policy and record. it's how you emotion alley connect with these voters. jeb bush while he has a record out there, he hasn't been able to emotionally connect to these voters. martha: peggy noonan ripped apart the debate itself. she said he was playing from an old play book. it's 2015. we are in crisis. they don't care about your heart and joy. they care about your guts, brains and toughness. he wasn't campaigning joyously. you asked hip if he's happy, he says i am happy, thing are good. he was unjoy on you as he said it. and not being able to speak up to marco rubio. that's just unforgivable. i can see why the governor are upset. they are upset because this is a candidate who doesn't seem to be prepared for the attacks coming at him. martha: they will spend $11 million in new happen shire on ad. in iowa they are at 6% and they want to get to 18%. he's got his work cut out for him in the next self weeks. bill: jimmy kimmel weighing in. >> there were moments when the asking you got out of hand with 10 candidate on the staingt' hard to speak. at a certain point i didn't know if i was watching a debate or the view. >> should the federal government play a larger role in setting up retirement plan for these workers? >> no. [all talking at once] >> we'll be right back. martha: the backlash over the cnbc debate continues. but the next debate will be the fox business network. bill: john boehner's exit interview. conservatives in the house and himself. >> it what you pretty smooth. good job, big guy. >> what sets john apart is he's a man of character. a true class act. he is without a question the gentleman from ohio. so please join me in saying one last time, thank you, speaker boehner. bill: as we watched that moment yesterday, paul ryan taking the gavel as the 62nd speaker of the house. we watched john boehner give his final speech as speaker. beginning with what you call the man who just surrendered a title he has held for almost five years, what do i call you now? >> john. the same thing you always called me. john. bill: i remember john as a no-name politician 25 years ago in southwestern ohio. and here you are 2 1/2 decade later saying good-bye. did you accomplish what you came here to accomplish? >> i
