>> this is "all due respect. " are boldly going into the future and we simply don't have the patience to wait and see when and how they get there. we'll use our clairvoyance to

answer the question over and over again, what is next question mark or stub immigration. president obama is proposing executive action that would allow immigrants to live and work legally. this would be nullified if they were public and sent over a bill that addressed the border, the legal system, and a pathway to citizenship. let's give me a bill that addresses those issues i will be the first one to sign it. those executive actions we have taken we will toss it in the wastebasket because we now have a law that addresses these issues. >> the president issues an executive order, after that, which has a stronger hand? >> the president has a stronger hand now and going forward because when he does this, a lot of people that support him will

be happy and the people against him will be confused and angry. all of the choices with republicans are bad, therefore, advantage president obama. >> i thought that president obama was underestimating the way which republicans would react. where is the coalition who supports what the president is doing? does business support it does the religious group supported? if he has a coalition, his hand could be stronger. >> i think this is political genius. he is in a great position. the republicans will go crazy fighting with each other and making every single republican candidate that will position them poorly for what they need to do in 2016. >> a.b. he will delay it. he does it. he doesn't before the spending deadline or they have to move it. -- maybe he will delay it. >> they do fund the government,

that will be be bad for republicans. they try to impeach the president, that would be bad for republicans. >> they could go to court. >> that is a holding action and i think that is the best move but that will not get them very far. is the best of times and the worst of times for obamacare, more than 100,000 people signed up at the same time the affordable care act has hit its lowest approval rating. the white house is facing questions of transparency because of some unearthed videotapes showing a barely known for faster at m.i.t. you can tell the president is getting sick of it. >> i would advise every press outlet here, go back and pull up every clip, every story and i think that it is fair to say that there was not a provision

in the health care law that was not extensively debated and was fully transparent. >> i will ask you a question given everything that is going on, the question is the president plane on offense or defense. the challenge is to say liar liar, pants on fire. >> he is on defense on some things that are going to happen to americans, losing access to their lands and higher premiums. the president was a straightforward about what the law would do. today, i think over the weekend it was good for the president. the site word, the new secretary of health and human services is proving to be a witty confident administrator and republicans lacked a sensible unified way to talk about this. >> beyond the medical device tax, the 30-40 hour workweek, the republicans will win little

victories but they will not repeal the law. the presidents can't point, all that matters is that they will not repeal the law the whole. -- the president standpoint all that matters is that they will not repeal the law the hole. everyday stays in the books is good in terms of his legacy. >> people that like it like it a lot. it is been said by two or three dogs that one is the loneliest number come especially if you are mary landrieu. just at the nine votes but it is unclear where he 60th vote could come from to get it to the president's desk. this will not come from chris coons, mark udall, or tim johnson. they were seen as gettable but now plan on voting no along with angus kane who was leaning. assuming that they get it to the president's desk is there anyway that this is not a big divisive issue? >> i don't -- i i don't think it

will get to the president's desk. this is a pretty divisive issue. it is so emotional for some people on the left that is hard to imagine that the president either vetoes it and gets overridden or if the president somehow sciences that a big part of the democratic party will not be upset. >> the democratic party upset at the president, that is a different song than what we normally hear in washington. harry landrieu and some of the democrats support this. the president is not officially opposed, he is not moved quickly to get it signed into law. it is possible to get it to his desk, possible he will sign it but more likely he will veto it and say, let's wait and see what happens. they can beat the president up but there's no election. >> do you think is better or worse if he vetoes or signs it? was i think it is better. and she would have and a congressman.

her chance to say, i am a senator stature that can get things done and that ties the clown in the way she is casting him in her new ad. that is her way to win. the veto shows once again that washington is in gridlock. >> he cannot run against the president from her own party. the president's national security advisor says the chance of reaching a nuclear deal with the run is between 40%-50%. the saudi's are worried, the russians are skeptical. israel, therefore a reliable cadre of republicans, and some democrats. this is a big correspondent -- cornerstone issue but could this be a political winner with him under the current circumstances? >> i don't understand the trajectory because israel will be opposed to this deal if there is one. if somehow, if he fails, once again he has failed to succeed

in his plan to negotiate with iran. if he gets the deal, israel will be opposed and it will be widely denounced by political leaders who followed what israel does. he cannot go forward with the deal that is real is against. >> it depends on what is in the deal. in his weakened state after the midterms and what iran sees they need for him to back down from the toughest lines. >> even if it is good on the merits, if the israelis are opposed, a lot of a public opinion will be against it regardless of how good a deal it is. >> at least you could argue on the merits for good bill. you cannot argue for a bill that even dick durbin is to -- thinks is too soft. >> the president has a lot on his plate. this is a big thing. the military option isn't there and there is tons of skepticism about it as you said, and with

other countries, the saudi's, and some other countries in the region. you cannot sign a deal with a country that says they are amoral president. >> would the clintons be against it? >> i think they would the for it in 2016. i don't see how they get a deal because the iranians are not just caving. >>the darkest news that the white house confronted was the beheading of another american by isis. >> when the president says for instance, that isis is a cancer and it must be eliminated, he is right. you don't say, well, we are only going to use the following tools. >> given the facts on the

ground, this latest beheading him and the nature of isis 'continued strong hold, can the president keep the coalition here at home and around the world together? >> as long as isis keeps beheading americans, the president can keep the coalition together. there will be people like mitt romney and others that want the president to go further. the result and the will of the coalition is pretty strong in this issue. >> what do you think of chairman dempsey's remarks and the president's remarks, isis has two clear weapons. that would be one case where american troops would be used. >> there would be a unified 95% public support for doing it under the circumstance. >> what i am warned about is he

does his thing on immigration, they have a big fight over the budget, there's no shutdown but there's tense relations. then you have these candidates in congress as well as a lot of other congressional leaders abandoning the president on this. not giving them what they need. that would be bad. >> i thought that you're going to say dempsey calling isis a bunch of midgets. the government might get shut down and if it does, our next guest is one of the guys that might play a part. we will see when we come back.

>> eric s tonight is not one of the republicans in congress who think that the gop should be play nice to president obama. he's a congressman who represents the first district of congress. he is not afraid of talking about a shut down. congressman, hello. we want to start out by asking

you, we were talking a lot about potential shutdown but i want to start by asking you, senator mcconnell has pretty much taken the government shut down on the table. >> the president of the united states has been washington for 10 years and his inability to negotiate is almost legend and we can send a bill after bill. the last four years, harry reid has presented the resident from having to negotiate and we are looking forward to see with the compromises. republicans take over the senate and add to the number in the house. we will bring back from his overseas trip. >> you say the president is the only one that can cause a

shutdown but the conventional wisdom in your party a month a lot of strategists is the government shutdowns with a democratic president and republican congress has hurt your party. do you think that it's the right thing to do and bad politics but something that could be good politics for your party? >> every public and that i know ran as a conservative so we will push back on the agenda of this president and we won. -- every republican i know ran as a conservative so we will push back on the agenda. >> if the government shuts down, just on the politics, not on principle, is that a fight that you believe your party could win, even though in the past democrats tend to win those fights? >> well, if you look back, i think we have one. in the 12 months as the government shut down, we found out that pushing back on this president, the house cannot shut the government down. i am confident of that.

will president obama actually negotiate and compromise and it remains to be seen. >> the president's posture basically is there is a bill that has been passed by the senate, would probably pass on an up or down vote if he were put that way. he is trying to address a problem that he would describe as a public policy problem related to the dreamers and others. if the president's executive action were not undertaken and there was no copper hence is immigration reform, what you would you propose doing with those people question ask the -- with those people? >> we have plenty of ideas. we need to fix the broken immigration system. we passed a number of bills. harry reid, senator schumer, and the president said either my way or the highway.

you have to first secure the border. that is the starting position of the house. the president seems to not to want to start there. i think we can make progress on immigration. >> with those 5 million people with the post according them appropriate funds. what is your solution to the status of those undocumented workers in particular? >> i would like to know how many numbers we had. we don't know that for certain. i think the american people are clear the first thing you do a secure the border. i think that was the mistake back in 1986. the border was not secured which led to our problems today. the president has run into a little problem it is called the constitution. he proceeds to order amnesty by executive action, he will run into some constitutional problems him and he will certainly run until political problems. if he does this this week, he

has waited six years, until the last election to do something that would be very very unpopular. >> you are our second republican just to not engage on a pretty clear question. you have more than 5 million people here illegally. i understand that you are concerned about border security i ask you to focus very direct on the question john was asking you about. if you had unilateral control come and congress should pass whatever you wanted, what would you do about the five million, 12 million poor in this country illegally now question mark? >> i don't know how you know -- >> forget the number. >> i can't forget border security. >> totally agree. totally stipulate that. what do you propose to do with the 8 million, however many you think there are people who are

here illegally? do you want them deported, do you want to let them stay under some different basis? what are you for on that? >> and nobody's talking about deportation, that is what the president would like us to talk about. at the end of the day, he needs to come to converse with a proposal, a serious proposal. he has been in washington for 10 years. >> do you have a solution for what to do with those people and if so, what is it? >> first of all, i want to know how many folks are here. >> it is a red herring to ask what the number is. >> it is a red herring to suggest that the president would have any authority to grant amnesty. >> what do you want to do? do you have a plan to do something with those millions of people? >> we have a plan to first secure the border and then we determined politically, working

together with the american people, where do we go from here? how many folks are out here, how mccain here in legally? we need to look closely at the numbers and that is what the house has tried to do. mr. president, you're not going to get your way on everything. we are willing to compromise but we are not going to grant amnesty. the president will try to create amnesty. the american people have rejected amnesty. they have rejected this president's proposals. i think he takes a real political miscalculation to try to ram it through by executive order. >> thank you for coming on. don't ever say that we did not give you the chance to put forward a positive policy on solving the problems. we gave you a bunch of chances and you didn't come forward on it. we give the state holiday the exact amount of coverage it deserves.
