25:16Now PlayingRepublican presidential candidates debated economic issues in their third matchup of the 2016 election. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio sparred over Rubio's missed Senate votes. Jeb Bush’s performance seems to have worried some of his donors and Jeanne Cummings of The Wall Street Journal says that Bush must improve for the next debate or his campaign doesn’t stand a chance in the upcoming election. The debate also took another turn with candidates and even audience members expressing irritation at the CNBC moderators for questions that were viewed as contentious. RNC Chair Reince Priebus, upset with the outcome of the debate, has chosen to suspend the GOP’s partnership with NBC for their upcoming debate. John Harwood of CNBC, who moderated the latest debate, says the “anger at the debate is akin to the anger in the House” among Republicans. In Congress, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, despite his initial hesitation, was elected the 54th Speaker of the House this week. Ryan called for unity and renewal within the GOP party, the week that outgoing Speaker John Boehner helped pass a bipartisan budget deal. Robert Costa of The Washington Post reports on the experience Ryan brings to the job. President Obama announced this week that circumstances have changed and has authorized Special Forces to Syria to assist rebel fighters battling ISIS. Doyle McManus of The Los Angeles Times says that Obama’s decision to enter Syria may be an indirect response to Russia’s recent occupation within the country.
