>> thank you so much. i want to turn to another issue where mr. trump got a lot of support that is an issue where you are not necessarily on the same page. mr. trumps position on illegal immigration and reducing legal immigration as well. there are a lot of skeptics among his supporters of you and other republican establish types. >> they didnt used to call me republican establishment type until about a year ago. >> you are speaker of the house. you did it to yourself, man. marianne mendoza is a...

Any kind of establishment type. it certainly kind of runs counter to the whole idea of change and draining the swamp. >> no question. and its pretty interesting to watch, just how quickly youve had a pullback, not only on those appointments, but also, you know, some of these positions. you have donald trump saying, maybe there are parts of obamacare that he might keep. you have obama saying today in his press conference that when he spoke to donald trump, that donald trump said he would remain c...

Real questions and real confusion. the word "buffoonery" was used for me inside the transition, because its not clear whos in charge. you have steve bannon and jared kushner with a senior advisory role and a lot of chiefs and not many indians, in terms of making those key policy decisions. so people inside the campaign talking about that as a real problem right now. >> youd imagine that for at least some of trumps supporters, they would have little patience in him picking any kind of establishme...

Up short. now with the supreme court, what are the ramifications? how is donald trump going to govern? liberals didnt like it when he became president in 1980. he brought in don regan and james baker. these were establishment type of republicans. liberals didnt like the policies but they realized they were experts in the field. donald trump doesnt have a long attention span, doesnt care about details with policies. hes talking about having rudy giuliani and newt gingrich making up the core of hi...

The dangers of hillary clinton. this is what he writes. the dangers of a hillary clinton presidency are more familiar than trumps authority yarians unknown because we live with them in our politics already. theyre the dangers of elite group think of beltway power worship, of a cult of presidential action in the service of dubious ideals. almost every crisis thats come upon the west in the last 15 years has its roots in this establishment type of folly. the iraq war, likewise the financial crisis...

>> to you as well, sir. over the weekend, chris christie picked up the endorsement of the "new hampshire union leader." in the past sometimes this really mattered. mccain other times it hasnt, gingri gingrich. what does it mean? >> this is huge for governor chris christie because his campaign hasnt caught traction this far in the cycle. hes he been largely eclipsed quite frankly by someone like donald trump. and i got to be honest, i think that as more establishment type candidates such as of co...

A accepts that establishment blame will somehow coalesce and say we have too many people in the race and we need to clear it to have a candidate? >> one would think. he think that the thing with the rubio vs. cruz is somehow rubio has ended up even though he was a tea party candidate when he ran for the senate. ended up with this rising establishment type candidate versus cruz. so it makes sense to me that cruz is the one thats rising right now. he has the right tone. he is the -- the angry one ...

That hes ready to kill for his father, and i want to ask you about that. did that interview help him in terms of what he needed to say right now? is he saying the wrong things at the right times? >> he has a lot going against him. jeb bush is a conventional candidate in a very unconventional cycle. that doesnt mean he cant win. hes done very poorly in these three debates and wasnt ready for the counter. you have to think that rubio was going to say something and defend himself. he did it very we...

Pretty significant blow to his candidacy when the house freedom caucus, that conservative group came out and they supported daniel webster instead of him. he was supposed to be the guy who was aimed to bridge those conservatives with the more establishment type in the party, and i asked him about that. here is what he had to say. >> im trying to bridge the gulf and the divide. thats not just going to end today. there are new processes and things that we have to do to get this team even more unif...

Out his ability to be helpful. and, you know, if you look how hard worked in the last 8 years, getting him back into the majority, then growing that majority, it was a pretty remarkable achievement. >> so, do you think that whats going on in the presidential race route now, this bifurcation of the g.o.p. between the establishment and nonestablishment, boehner has been kind of known to be or perceived to be an establishment type of guy, do you think this has something to do with it because the no...
